Shiki Natsu skillfully erased his presence and walked directly toward Nagumo Miyabi.
Although there was still a considerable distance between him and Nagumo Miyabi, Shiki Natsu possessed a cheat ability. With the enhancent of this cheat, the scene before his eyes was as clear as a 4K high-definition live stream.
It was rare to encounter Nagumo Miyabi anywhere outside the Student Council Office.
At this mont, Nagumo Miyabi was standing under a street lamp, hands in his trouser pockets, brows furrowed tightly, and his expression so gloomy it looked like water was about to drip from it.
Looking at this posture, he was likely about to hurl abuse at so unlucky sod who appeared next. Just who had dared to offend this Student Council Vice President?
Shiki Natsu took out his phone to check the ti. It wasn't very late yet, just about dinner ti, and the sky had darkened only slightly. So, Shiki Natsu decided to join the fun and see what Nagumo Miyabi intended to do.
Before long, a male student walked over timidly.
He kept his head down, his eyes darting around evasively, not daring to make eye contact with Nagumo Miyabi at all, his body even trembling slightly.
"Is Nagumo Miyabi that scary?"
Shiki Natsu rubbed his chin and muttered in his heart.
Although Nagumo Miyabi indeed seed to have so thods—rumor had it he controlled the entire second year—was it really necessary to be this afraid?
Could it be that Nagumo Miyabi was also a violence maniac in private?
Like Ryuuen Kakeru, beating up those who disobeyed his orders until they submitted completely.
However... it was impossible to rule the entire grade relying solely on violence. He must have other thods.
As for what those thods were, Shiki Natsu did not know.
Nagumo Miyabi didn't waste words and asked straight to the point.
"Was it you who sold the past exam questions to the first years?"
This kind of thing should be considered quite private, right?
Aside from the parties involved in the transaction, the only other possibility was that soone had blown the whistle. It seed Nagumo Miyabi's control over the second year was truly no joke.
To think there were people who would secretly report to Nagumo Miyabi.
However... it was already the evening of the second day.
Was this efficiency considered high or low?
Or perhaps, was he deliberately putting on this show in front of him?
Shiki Natsu narrowed his eyes and carefully observed Nagumo Miyabi's reaction. If this guy could detect him while his presence was completely erased and ticulously stage such a scene, then Shiki Natsu would really have to award him the title of "History's Strongest High School Student." That would an this guy had a cheat too.
But evidently, Nagumo Miyabi hadn't noticed. It seed he wasn't a cheat user.
The male student stamred and nodded, admitting to it.
"How much did you sell them for?"
Nagumo Miyabi stared dead at the boy with those eyes.
His tone of voice was different from when he spoke in the Student Council or with Ichinose Honami.
This tone was more like a superior speaking to a subordinate; Nagumo Miyabi had completely placed himself in the position of a superior.
"Five....."
The boy answered in a whisper.
Nagumo Miyabi frowned, his expression instantly becoming even gloomier, his sharp eyes staring fixedly at the boy.
"—...—Ten thousand—!"
The boy shivered in fright and imdiately corrected himself.
A re look had scared the wits out of the other party.
"Tsk tsk, really not approachable at all."
While roasting him in his heart, Shiki Natsu took out his phone and skillfully turned on the silent recording mode.
This was good material.
The dignified Student Council Vice President actually violating school rules, threatening and intimidating a fellow student. If this got out, would the Student Council still have any reputation left?
Although the content of their conversation concerned the gray market transaction of past exam questions, making audio recording potentially troubleso, this didn't hinder Shiki Natsu from recording the visuals.
As for the angle...
Shiki Natsu adjusted his position, choosing an extrely tricky and concealed corner.
This position not only captured both their expressions clearly but was also absolutely undetectable unless they had X-ray vision. Most importantly, it made the recording usable.
If he just stood dumbly between the two of them and shoved a cara in their faces, anyone would realize sothing was wrong.
At such a close distance, how could he not be discovered? Yet they looked as if they hadn't noticed Shiki Natsu at all.
It looked bizarre no matter how you viewed it.
"Why didn't you tell about this matter? Did you have to wait for to seek you out?"
Nagumo Miyabi's voice carried suppressed anger.
"I... I thought this matter... wasn't very important... moreover, this is a gray market transaction, I didn't want it to be known..."
The boy lowered his head, his voice getting smaller and smaller.
"Transfer all the points obtained from the transaction to ."
Nagumo Miyabi ordered coldly.
The boy stood still, his hands tightly gripping the seams of his trousers, clearly unwilling to hand over this "extra inco" he had earned with great difficulty.
"Do you want to give up the ticket to Class A?"
Nagumo Miyabi suddenly sneered. When he spoke of this item, a touch of confidence appeared in his eyes, as if as long as he brought this up, the other party would obediently act according to his wishes.
Ticket to Class A?
Shiki Natsu raised an eyebrow, capturing this unfamiliar term.
What was this thing?
A special item in this school?
Or so kind of unknown unspoken rule?
If one said that 20 million personal points could purchase a slot in Class A, then with Nagumo Miyabi controlling the resources of the entire second year, it was indeed possible to scrape it together.
After all, gathering 20 million with the power of a whole class might be hard, but if it was with the power of the entire grade... that would be much simpler.
And things indeed played out exactly as Nagumo Miyabi thought. Hearing the words "Ticket to Class A," the boy's body trembled violently, as if his weak point had been hit.
He hesitated no longer, tremblingly took out his phone, and perford so operations.
Relying on his superhuman vision, Shiki Natsu clearly saw the balance displayed on the boy's phone screen—three digits.
Good heavens.
So pitiful?
No wonder this boy would trade with Kushida Kikyou; he was so reluctant to spend even those 11,000 points?
Now it was great; reluctant to spend them, and now he wouldn't get to spend a single point.
This guy Nagumo Miyabi was truly rciless when exploiting others, even more excessive than Ryuuen Kakeru.
Ryuuen Kakeru at least wouldn't let the people in his class live on only a few hundred personal points. Of course, if Ryuuen Kakeru dared to do that, his current rule wasn't very stable and could be overturned at any ti.
"Who did you trade with?"
Having received the points, Nagumo Miyabi's expression softened slightly as he continued to ask.
"It was Class 1-D's Kushida Kikyou and... Horikita Suzune."
The boy said through gritted teeth, his tone full of unwillingness and resentnt. After all, the 11,000 points he had just got his hands on were snatched away before they could even get warm; anyone would be unhappy.
However, under Nagumo Miyabi's pressure, he still answered the question honestly.
"Horikita Suzune..."
Hearing this na, Nagumo Miyabi revealed a contemplative look.
He didn't know who Kushida Kikyou was, but he knew Horikita Suzune.
That day in the Student Council Room, the girl following Shiki Natsu, who was also Horikita Manabu's sister. To think she was the one buying past exam questions?
Nagumo Miyabi's eyes suddenly lit up, and the corners of his mouth hooked into a aningful smile.
Seeing this smile, Shiki Natsu knew that this guy was definitely brewing so bad water in his stomach again.
Regarding the matter of the past exam questions, there actually wasn't much that could be done.
Either turn around and use this matter to threaten Class 1-D, for example, by going to collect protection fees from them a few days before the exam, or else report them to the school.
But Class D's current Class Points were zero; even if squeezed dry, not a few drops of oil would co out.
Another possibility was to report directly to the school and request a change in the exam papers.
Although this could cause huge trouble for Class D, it would also bring a massive workload to the teachers and the school—reissuing papers, re-marking key points; this wasn't a joke.
Moreover, if this temporary change caused the expulsion rate to skyrocket, it was probably not a situation the school wanted to see either.
However, regardless of which thod Nagumo Miyabi chose, it was not good news for those students hoping to pass by morizing answers.
Soon, Nagumo Miyabi waved his hand, telling the boy to scram like he was shooing away a fly, and then left in another direction himself.
Shiki Natsu didn't continue to follow but casually tossed an [Observer] skill onto Nagumo Miyabi.
[Observer has taken effect. Duration: 7 days.]
With this, Nagumo Miyabi's every move for the next week would be under his surveillance. This was Shiki Natsu's first ti using this skill, after all, the cooldown ti was a full two weeks.
However, Shiki Natsu hadn't used it much throughout April, so he felt he had made a huge loss. He might as well use Nagumo Miyabi for an experint this ti, seeing as it was confird that this guy harbored ill intentions and would likely do sothing detrintal.
Use it early to start the cooldown early.
Having done all this, Shiki Natsu took out his phone and sent a ssage to Horikita Suzune.
He told Horikita Suzune not to pin all hope on the past exam questions, as the upperclassn had already noticed this matter. It was basically certain they would take action. If Class D wanted to pass, they should honestly attend tutoring.
After all, she was a maid who had provided him with fifteen days of maid service; Shiki Natsu felt he still had an obligation to remind her.
As for Ryuuen Kakeru...
Considering this was a high-quality custor who spent lavishly, Shiki Natsu also sent him the sa ssage.
After all, if Class C suffered mass failures and expulsions because of this, how could he fleece them in the future? If the human base was reduced, the personal points in Ryuuen Kakeru's hands would decrease, which equated to the personal points in his own hands decreasing.
Finally, he sent the sa ssage to Class A. Class A would have no problem even without the past exam questions, but Shiki Natsu didn't wish for anyone to really spend a lot of ti morizing past questions.
A few seconds later, Horikita Suzune's ssage ca back.
"Was it you, this guy, who blew the whistle?"
Looking at the interrogation on the screen, Shiki Natsu shook his head helplessly.
Was his credit score in this little maid's heart so low?
To think her first suspect was him.
"Oh my, Horikita, didn't I already guarantee to you that I wouldn't report it? I am an honest person; I absolutely abide by the things I agree to. If you want to hear an explanation, when you co to my room tonight, I'll explain it to you properly."
After sending this ssage to Horikita Suzune, Shiki Natsu didn't intend to pay her any more attention. Shiki Natsu didn't want to chat with the Class D Horikita Suzune right now; he only wanted to chat with his maid, Horikita Suzune.
As for Ryuuen Kakeru's side, it showed as read, but there was no reply.
Shiki Natsu could feel Ryuuen Kakeru's soaring rage even through the screen.
Just having spent 310,000 to buy intelligence and exam questions, only to receive this bad news imdiately after—who wouldn't explode?
In order to prove he was a trustworthy rchant and not lose this big moneybag, Shiki Natsu very thoughtfully sent over the photo of Nagumo Miyabi and that boy he had just taken.
"Nagumo Miyabi is an existence who rules the entire second year; it's not difficult for him to know about this kind of small matter, is it?"
Although Ryuuen Kakeru also ruled Class C, in terms of thods and control, the current him was still sowhat immature compared to Nagumo Miyabi.
However, Ryuuen Kakeru's ambition was not small. Who knew if he would grow into a second Nagumo Miyabi in the future?
It showed as read again, and still no reply.
When did Ryuuen Kakeru pick up the bad habit of leaving ssages on read?
However... since he had explained this much, Ryuuen Kakeru should be clear on the situation. As a rchant, achieving this much was already benevolent and righteous of him.
Furthermore, Ryuuen Kakeru hadn't given him hush money. Even if he had leaked it, Ryuuen Kakeru couldn't say anything against him.
Of course, this was just a backup preparation. Shiki Natsu wouldn't necessarily let Nagumo Miyabi succeed. If his little maid Horikita Suzune could make him happy and then earnestly beg him, perhaps Shiki Natsu would feel compassion and help Horikita Suzune's Class D get through this crisis.
Having dealt with these trivial matters, Shiki Natsu put away his phone, deactivated the presence erasure state, turned around, and walked toward the dormitory. It was dinner ti next, and he should go back to prepare dinner.
Just as Shiki Natsu walked to a set of stairs.
He discovered a girl with long orange hair sitting on the bottom step. There were scratches on the uniform at her arms, and the girl was looking around, her cherry-red eyes sizing up the surroundings as if she were looking for sothing. There were bruises on her smooth, tender calves, looking like she had just taken a fall.
Did she drop sothing?
Shiki Natsu activated his reconnaissance mode and soon found an amulet. He then walked up to the front of the girl.
"Is this sothing you dropped?"
Shiki Natsu spoke softly, revealing a very kind smile.
Towards beautiful girls he t for the first ti, Shiki Natsu always maintained the most 'yasashi' (gentle) persona.
The gentle persona might not be useful in every situation, but at least no one would be repulsed upon a first eting.
"Ah, it's this. Thank you!"
