Why did Ryuuen ask about Sendoh and Shiina's purpose?
Sendoh has no evil intentions. He was just testing Ryuuen's strength, his classmate.
Current conclusion: Ryuuen is indeed interesting.
Although Ryuuen likes violence and immediately resorts to brutal methods, if Sendoh and Shiina hadn't recorded the video, Ryuuen might have been able to silence the beaten senior and prevent him from reporting.
His fighting style is also impressive.
He avoids the face, so there are no visible wounds, but still causes pain.
'Ryuuen must be good at fighting and avoiding responsibility,' thought Sendoh.
His psychology and intelligence are also well developed.
Exactly as the system narration said.
[Ryuuen is arrogant and uses violence to unite Class C. Many students don't dare to speak up.]
[Using violence to oppress the class and underhanded methods against other classes has brought extraordinary results for Class C.]
But Sendoh didn't come here just to praise Ryuuen. Ryuuen's violence, if punished in the first month's behavior assessment, could be serious and bring down Class C.
"Usually, if I record you beating someone up, I would immediately send it to the homeroom teacher," said Sendoh.
"But now, I've decided not to do that."
"We just heard about the essence of this school. Only Class A receives the school's special treatment."
"The base value of the four classes in the first month is 1,000 points," continued Sendoh. "After the first month's behavior test, the class values will definitely widen."
"With this information, Class C can minimize the points that will be deducted."
This means, after knowing the school rules, they must immediately take advantage of them.
'This is like leveling up by myself in this environment,' thought Sendoh.
"Your idea is good, but reality is cruel," said Ryuuen. "You might not have noticed the students in Class C. They are basically trash."
"If they aren't united, they won't obey. It's impossible to fulfill the code of ethics on their own."
"Then unite them," said Sendoh.
"Hm?"
Ryuuen narrowed his eyes. He was sure there was something wrong with this Miyama Sendoh.
At first, he thought Sendoh had a strong sense of justice.
But Sendoh compromised, not sending the violence video to the teachers.
Now, he even allows Ryuuen to use violence to control the class.
'What is this?' thought Ryuuen.
"You want to rise to Class A, graduate as Class A!" said Ryuuen.
"Yes," Sendoh nodded. "I want to graduate from Class A."
His family is poor. Graduating from Class A means entering his dream university, with tuition covered by the school.
That's enough to attract Sendoh.
Initially, he suspected the school wouldn't allow all students to receive special treatment. As it turns out, students compete between classes to graduate as Class A.
'Now that I know how, of course I'll take advantage of it,' thought Sendoh.
"Impressive!" Ryuuen praised. "But you'll be disappointed. Seniors say Classes C and D are considered trash."
"I don't doubt it. Most of Class C now is trash, maybe Class D too."
"Overall strength is clearly inferior to Classes A and B," said Ryuuen.
"Then, the weakest becomes the strongest," said Sendoh. "We were recruited by the school, which means there's an opportunity."
"Even if small, there are cases where underdogs defeat favorites, right?"
"In the sixth or seventh batch, Chabashira-sensei's Class D rose to Class B. Maybe Sakagami-sensei knows that too."
"Class D during Chabashira-sensei's time was probably not as good as our current Class C, and they didn't know the school's secrets from the beginning."
"So, Ryuuen, are you going to admit defeat?" asked Sendoh.
Admit defeat?
Ryuuen's eyes sharpened.
"I won't lose. Don't try to provoke me. I studied psychology, I know how to control people's hearts."
"Right now you just want to use my power," said Ryuuen.
"That's right," answered Sendoh. "I want to borrow your strength. You're also a member of Class C, right? You find this school interesting, that's why you sought information on the first day. When you learned the essence of the school, even though Class C has a low rank, you also want to rise to Class A, right?"
"It's not us using your power, but you also need our power," continued Sendoh.
Heh.
Ryuuen laughed.
But...
Damn.
He initially wanted to move forward alone, excel with information, then use violence to unite the class, achieving brilliant results in the first month's assessment.
Not to be cornered like this.
But he couldn't completely reject Sendoh.
As Sendoh said, he wanted to lead the class, but if alone, other students might be embarrassed or refuse to cooperate because of the violence. If Sendoh and Shiina helped, it would be a different story.
Class C would become a tiger with wings.
He caught a senior and got information, but Sendoh and Shiina were also suspicious of the school. 'They're not simple,' thought Ryuuen.
If they just passed by, Ryuuen wasn't sure he could unite the class without violence.
A class without cohesion is like loose sand. Not only unable to rise, but could also fall.
Now Class C, could still become Class D.
[Did Miyama agree to your terms?]
The system narration voice activated again in Sendoh's mind.
"Where were you?" Sendoh whispered.
Since meeting Horikita-san and Kushida-san, the system narration rarely spoke, as if temporarily dead.
[Mom just called... No, it's weird if you talk to me now.]
Oh.
Talking to the air is indeed surprising, but Ryuuen was too busy thinking, he didn't notice.
Sendoh was sure Ryuuen would agree.
From the narration, Ryuuen was naughty but could lead the class to rise. Such a leader is not narrow-minded.
Compromise is a basic skill.
There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
"This is just cooperation," said Ryuuen. "I don't want to be your tool."
"If you want to use me, I will be a tyrant!"
Tyrant?
Could be.
If Sendoh and Shiina weren't suspicious of the school, and Ryuuen developed on his own, he might become the tyrant of Class C.
"Delete the video you recorded," said Ryuuen.
Ryuuen's compromise was based on the desire to delete the violence video.
From the seniors, he knew new students would be evaluated for behavior in the first month, violations would reduce points.
Beating seniors on the first day could reduce points twice, plus punishment.
That's Ryuuen's stain.
"We can't give you the video," said Sendoh. "We don't fully trust yet, but we're now cooperating, so don't worry about betrayal."
"If you're afraid, we'll keep the video on a USB drive, entrust it to Sakagami-sensei."
'Keep holding a weapon to threaten Ryuuen continuously?' thought Sendoh.
"Haha, you want the horse to run but won't give it grass," said Ryuuen. "Isn't that too much?"
"But, Ryuuen, you have no choice," said Sendoh. "Or do you want to miss the opportunity to rise to the most brilliant position?"
"The base value of the four classes is 1,000 points. If we split here, it's difficult to rise in class."
"For people like us, besides becoming Class A, there is no way to pass normal exams to top universities."
"So, Ryuuen, don't you want to enter the best university as a poor student?" asked Sendoh.
Sendoh might be provoking.
Ryuuen knew that.
But the idea of going from worst to best ignited his spirit.
But...
If he obeyed like this, he was too passive.
First, he wanted to be a tyrant, not a general.
Second, this is a trap.
Violence to unite the class would certainly cause dissatisfaction, and if reported, he would be punished.
If the incident of beating seniors broke out, he could be expelled.
Class C students now wouldn't obey or study well even if they knew there was an exam.
Must unite the class.
And that requires violence.
As long as he was tempted, he would continue to use violence, and evidence for expulsion was in Sendoh's hands.
But if he did nothing, would he miss the exciting test of this school?
Damn.
Ryuuen cursed in his heart.
He always believed violence was most effective, but Sendoh reversed his viewpoint.
Sendoh didn't beat anyone, but the effect was stronger than violence.
Five minutes later, Ryuuen Kakeru from first-year Class C, who could have become a tyrant, left with a gloomy face after adding Miyama Sendoh as a contact.
