Chapter 50: Can only be used at noon

____

Rin Matsuoka looked at himself contentedly, having gained more than 320,000 personal points. He glanced at and, with a smile, put his index fingers together to form the shape of a "ten."

Nagumo understood Rin's meaning and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "One hundred thousand, huh? That's a lot, but I..."

"What are you thinking? Add a zero," Rin Matsuoka said unhappily.

"One million? Why don't you just go and rob someone" Nagumo snapped angrily.

Rin Matsuoka smiled.

And that smile made Nagumo realize that this guy was indeed robbing him…

Frustrated, Nagumo gritted his teeth, signed the contract, pressed his fingerprint, and finally transferred one million personal points to Rin, his teeth clenched in anger.

"Hey."

"Delete all those recordings for me," Nagumo said coldly.

"Okay," Rin Matsuoka readily agreed, deleting both recording files in front of Nagumo.

After watching Rin delete the files, Nagumo finally felt relieved. He looked at Rin with resentment but turned away without saying another word.

This time, Nagumo left without any harsh words.

The conflict between Rin Matsuoka and Nagumo, along with the other second-years, ended here.

Nagumo and his group suffered heavy losses, while Rin made a huge profit. His personal points had now skyrocketed to—

One million five hundred and twenty-eight thousand, four hundred and fifty-seven!

"…"

Denai and the others looked at Nagumo with some fear as he returned, his face dark and brooding.

"Boss Nagumo, are you okay?"

Nagumo shot a cold glance at the student who asked.

Look at his expression, look at his arms—did he look okay?

"Let that bastard enjoy his moment of victory for now. I'll find a way to deal with him later," Nagumo sneered. "When the time comes, I'll make him pay back double the points he took from me!"

"As expected of you, Boss Nagumo!" Denai flattered him.

Mizowaki, however, said helplessly, "Boss, if we follow the school rules, we second-years hardly have a chance to attack first-years."

"Unless the special exam the school prepares involves multiple classes."

"Then find a way to win over a first-year class, and let that class target the one that jerk is in!" Nagumo said coldly.

This idea sparked a new light in Mizowaki and the others.

Yes!

They, as second-years, didn't have many opportunities to directly target that freshman, but other first-year classes did!

"Boss Nagumo, let's go find out which class that freshman is in, and then we'll see which class is the most suitable to be our weapon!" Denai suggested immediately.

"No need to rush. The first-years have just enrolled. They haven't yet realized how cruel this school is, nor have they started to unite," Nagumo said.

"Once they do start to unite, we'll decide which class is the most suitable to be our dog. So from today onward, gather all the information about the first-year classes."

"Got it!"

As Nagumo and his group walked away, plotting how to target Rin Matsuoka, Rin, with a smile on his face, was happily watching his personal points soar fifteenfold.

"I only earned 100,000 personal points by manipulating Chabashira-sensei, but by blackmailing those guys, I've earned over 1.3 million personal points."

"Blackmail is wonderful."

[Host, blackmailing others to gain personal points is a very effective tactic, but it can only be used in the short term.]

"Why?" Rin asked subconsciously.

[Because sooner or later, something will happen.]

"..." Rin twitched his lips and said helplessly, "I know something will happen sooner or later, but I'm a good person. I don't like blackmailing good and decent people."

Rin Matsuoka thought that, despite his mischievous nature, he was a good person at heart.

After all, Rin never bullied good, innocent bystanders or ordinary people. Most of the people he targeted were the kind that everyone despised, feared, or resisted.

For example, thugs in the alleys.

Or like Nagumo and his group, the ones Rin had just dealt with.

You have to remember that Nagumo had planned to break his hands and disfigure his face. How could Rin allow someone so ruthless to walk away without consequences?

It was fortunate that it had been Rin who approached Asahina Nazuna. If another student had dared to approach her, would they have fared as well against Nagumo and his crew?

Most likely, they would have been beaten up, had their hands broken, or their faces scarred.

Just then, Chabashira Sae, with her slender legs, approached Rin. Her tone was cold as she asked, "Rin, did you suffer any losses?"

Rin turned to look at Chabashira, surprise on his face.

He hadn't expected her first question to be about whether he was okay, rather than scolding him for getting into a conflict with his seniors.

Before, Rin had admired Chabashira only for her appearance.

Now, he admired her as a teacher!

He liked this kind of teacher.

Feeling a little warmth in his heart, Rin smiled brightly at Chabashira. "I didn't suffer any losses, Ms. Chabashira. In fact, I made quite a lot of personal points off them."

Chabashira fell silent at Rin's response. From his comment about "earning personal points," she had already deduced that Rin had blackmailed the group of seniors.

"Rin, you're bold enough to extort personal points from them. Do you even know who they are?"

"I know. The vice president of the student council, Nagumo Miyabi, who practically dominates the second-year students."

"And knowing who he is, you still dared to go against them?" Chabashira asked.

"What else could I do? Was I supposed to kneel and beg for mercy? But my knees are stiff—they don't bend easily." Rin shrugged.

Was she serious? Rin had never bent his knees, even while living in poverty as a child. How could Nagumo and his gang deserve such treatment from him?

Chabashira now had a clearer understanding of this student named Rin Matsuoka. On the surface, he was handsome and seemed gentle, easy to get along with.

But in truth, Rin had an arrogant character. He would rather offend others than kneel down and beg for mercy.

Boys with such a personality particularly hated being threatened. To get Rin to behave, you'd have to handle him with gentleness, not force.

After finishing her mental analysis of Rin's personality, Chabashira said, "Lucky I showed up when I did, or they would have beaten you up."

"Actually, Ms. Chabashira, you arrived at the wrong moment. If you had come a little later, you'd have seen them all lying on the ground, screaming." Rin said, a hint of regret in his voice.

Chabashira shot him a glance, thinking how "shameless" he was. Suddenly, her expression shifted, and her eyes sharpened as she recalled something.

Her tone became stern as she said, "Rin, you messaged me earlier, telling me to come quickly and even sent me your coordinates via Line. Was that just to stop the fight?"

"Did you not only plan against Nagumo and his group but also plot against me?"
