Chapter 22: Is My Teacher Also A Defective Product? / Striking A Deal

Both were on either side of the same coin.

One tried to persuade the other, while the other tried not to be persuaded.

On the face of it, it appeared as though they had reached a stalemate, but in fact, Ryuuen Kakeru had already been somewhat persuaded.

"Your ambition is too much. It's not enough for the three classes to pool together 6 million points for you. You want 6 million from just one class. That's 18 million altogether. What are you going to do with that many points, huh?"

"I can tell you what I will do with them later, and it won't actually be a bad thing for you by me doing this. I will also be taking away the points of the other classes. You will have a better chance of competing that way. Anyway, everyone will be left with very few points. Ryuuen, don't start cooking up ways to get me to lower my price. Knowing the school's situation in advance, as well as the evaluating standards, and with there being one less class to compete against plus me who betrayed them, isn't that in and of itself worth tens of millions? Hey~ Ryuuen, hurry up and make a choice."

"Hmph, the price you set of 6 million points is still too much. This is not a sum of points that one person should possess. But I won't continue talking nonsense with you. I'll go talk to my homeroom teacher about this first, and then I will give you an answer."

Naturally, Ying Ye Zhenshi would not refuse.

This brief exchange between the two of them had still achieved Ying Ye Zhenshi's goal.

After thinking about what he would get out of the deal, Ryuuen found Kazuma Sakagami, the homeroom teacher of Class C.

After conveying what was up and Sakagami's subtle 'reminders' about partaking in such a deal, he eventually assented to being a witness.

'Although he didn't directly confirm the information I told Ryuuen, there were still some subtle things he said that would have alluded to it being the case. It seems that it's only my homeroom teacher who seems to have issues then. Could she also be a defective product? Or, is it just that since the students in my class didn't ask her anything or make it known that they were sceptical of the rules on day 1, she just sort of gave up on the class?'

Observing the friendly exchange between the teacher and student in front of him, Ying Ye Zhenshi beside them was a little suspicious, but he didn't particularly care.

He didn't pay much attention to their class after all.

Sure, he thought that his teacher might have issues, so he had been observing her during the last few days, but he had never bothered asking her about it.

Finally, Ryuuen Kakeru was done with discussing with his homeroom teacher and coming to a decision.

Although his homeroom tutor hadn't laid it out clearly, Ryuuen understood that what Ying Ye Zhenshi had said was true.

In the end, the so-called deal was naturally reached.

However, Long Yuanxiang had slashed the proposed price severely.

The figure was not six million, but four million.

"You have to be open-minded here. You have seen the situation in my class. It took a lot of energy for me to convince them. If I can't convince them, it would be useless for you to try and persuade me alone."

Although Ryuuen was very confident of his domination over the class, he still used this as an excuse.

And Ying Ye Zhenshi gave in to his excuses, but he also put forward a small condition.

With the price having been cut by 33%, he stipulated a condition in which class C could not let classes A and B know about the deal.

In addition, the four million points would have to be paid within three months, and a high-interest rate would be imposed if they went beyond the payback period.

After wrestling with Ryuuen over these two points, the first batch of 2 million points was handed over to the notary, Kazuma Sakagami, and 1 million points would be handed over the months following.

As long as it was confirmed that Class D's class points tally had plummeted by the next month's rankings, all the points would go to Ying Ye Zhenshi.

He didn't even care about whether there was news about Ying Ye Zhenshi's involvement in such a deal leaked to class D, so long as class D found themselves in a pit the next month.

"Now that the transaction has been completed, you can tell me your purpose in collecting these points."

Ryuuen didn't forget to ask for Ying Ye Zhenshi's goal out of all this.

"Didn't your tutor tell you at the start? Points can be used to buy anything in this school. Since this is the case, it will be easy for me to switch classes. With 20 million points, you can move from one class to another, and it is also possible to directly become a student of Class A."

Ying Ye Zhenshi spoke frankly.

There is nothing more to hide.

Ryuuen didn't look at Ying Ye Zhenshi but turned to look at his homeroom teacher.

The individual in question didn't respond, but the student knew what had been said was true just because of the tacit understanding they shared.

"It seems that you have drawn up your plans early, so I wish you success. How about you transfer directly to my class?"

Ryuuen sincerely invited the boy who had piqued his interest to his class.

"I can also help you to collect the remaining points."

"I worked so hard to attain these points, just for me to move from Class D to Class C. Do you take me for a retard?"

Ying Ye Zhenshi looked at Ryuuen suspiciously and complained out loud.

There would always be people who wanted to harm him it seemed.

'This is twenty million points, not twenty thousand! Is he kidding me?'

"If your class has a chance to become Class A, I will consider it."

"Then I am optimistic of you joining sooner or later, and the doors will still be open then. And about the other two classes to go, how do you plan to persuade them?"

Ryuuen Kakeru was curious.

"If they knew we've reached a deal, that would be a big problem."

"Let nature take its course. It'll be good if I am successful, but I won't think about it too much if it doesn't work out. I'll just do my best to fulfill my fated destiny."

Ying Ye Zhenshi looked easy-going about his future deals.

And Ryuuen didn't believe his charade at all.

He believed the boy sitting opposite him was already ready.

The impression he had gained of Ying Ye Zhenshi was that of a man with many means.

He would surely have a plan in his head on how to best deal with the two classes A and B.

But Ying Ye Zhenshi didn't intend to explain any further.

Now that the contract was made, Ying Ye Zhenshi didn't tarry and hastily went to convince the next boss monster.

He only had Class A and B left to convince.

Even if he struck the same deal as he did with Class C, he would acquire at least 12 million points in total.

That was halfway to his initial objective of 20 million points.

Plus, he always had the option of joining the student council and abusing his power to make even more money in the future.
