Sakura looked around, panicking.
Her secret as gravure idol has been revealed in front of the public by the creep.
And everyone was telling her to beat him up, especially the guy who caught the camera.
Under pressure, she slapped the creep.
"Wha—? How can you slap your me, Shizuku-chan!?"
Ryuen said to her, "What a weak slap."
He sighed and looked at the gate of the store.
A police officer has arrived.
And Manabu and Chabashira-sensei arrived as well.
Ryuen handed the camera to the police, and they even checked the CCTV cameras.
The creep was arrested with proper evidence.
After the police officer left, Ryuen said to her, "You should have taken the opportunity to atleast kick him in the balls. "
"Umm,... Thank you!"
She didn't understand what to say, so she just thanked him.
Ryuen nodded and turned to Manabu.
There are too many people here right now. He will make the offer to her later.
"I guess you have something to say."
"Hmm. Let's go somewhere else."
------------------
Arriving in a secluded place, Manabu said, "You are attracting an awful amount of attention, and it barely has been a week."
"Well, if the school should have done a better job in selecting actually deserving people instead of scumbags."
"Hmm?"
"And I am not saying that I am the scumbag here. I did not attack anyone. The seniors are just a bunch of morons, ruled by a bitch-face. How did he get into your office?"
"I can't tell you that right now. I will get to the point. Who is your spy? And why did you use my name when you got points from class 2C?"
"Hmm? I did?"
" 'Thank you for threatening me. You made President's job easier.' "
Ho? So Manabu has a spy in 2C?
"Kukuku! I guess you aren't as boring as I thought. Give me your number."
"I don't mind. But you haven't given me an answer."
"Hmm... How about this? You will owe me two favours."
"That's fine. But only if it is within my power, and doesn't break any rules of the school.
But I have one more question. Why are you gathering so many private points? You already receive 100,000 points per month. And it will be useless after the school ends."
"There is nothing like too much money. And since we can buy anything in the school with private points, I am curious about some things.
Alright. Empty your pockets. No recording. Then I will tell you about my friend."
"Don't worry. I am not recording anything."
Manabu took out his phone. The recorder wasn't on.
"I said empty your pockets."
Ryuen personally checked the pockets. There was really nothing else.
He didn't seem to have any button or pen camera either.
"Alright. I forgot to ask her about her name, but she is from Nagumo's class. She said that he is a creep and power hungry bastard, and wants him to be taught a lesson."
"And you are doing it for free?"
"I will not go into further details."
"Then I won't ask further."
So, the short meeting ended, and Ryuen got two favours and the number of Manabu.
As for not getting points from him?
He wouldn't have paid much anyway. And it's not like he wouldn't extort him in the future.
After the first month, didn't he almost hit Horikita before Ayanokoji came and did the whole piano and caligraphy shit?
That will be a perfect opportunity.
---------------
Back at his room, Ryuen went through the school forum.
The stalker under Nagumo has been labelled as gay stalker.
Let's see if Nagumo will back off with this.
He probably wouldn't.
So Ryuen needs to get the class under his full control tomorrow.
Aside from that, today's incident with Sakura was the main topic.
Oh, so that's her name?
Anyway, she is a gravure idol. And a famous one from the looks of it.
Looking at the pictures, Ryuen completely understood why that's the case.
Nice.
After starting at the pictures a bit too long, a message came from an unknown number came.
"Thanks for helping me today."
...
"Who are you?"
"Sakura Airi, from class D."
"Oh. It was nothing."
Oh.
It must be one of Nagumo's goon, pretending to be her.
"Ummm... Can we meet somewhere?"
Sakura, being so bold? Trying to meet with a guy at night?
So, it must be a trap, where one of Nagumo's bitches will accuse him of something.
... This guy is desparate.
He took the screenshots before she could delete the chat, and sent the number and screenshot to Manabu.
And also put it on the school forum.
—Someone creep is impersonating Sakura. Authorities, please take action and expell the person.
Nagumo is being really annoying just because Ryuen took some points.
Guess it's time to show Nagumo that no one can handle Ryuen's harrasment. Just because he has been laying low doesn't mean that he can be underestimated.
He ruled his rough neighbourhood. Some bitch-face fraud isn't much of a deal.
So he called Kushida. That bitch distributed her number as if distributing pamphlets for some ad.
"Hello?"
"It's me, Ryuen."
"Ah, Ryuen-san! I heard you caught a creep? Bla bla bla."
'This crackhead really talks a lot.'
"So, do you have Sakura's number? I have to verify that the the number I got a suspicious message from is actually not Sakura."
"Ummm...okay. Just don't text her anything weird, okay?"
"Yeah. Thanks"
So, Ryuen confirmed that Sakura's number was indeed different from the one who messaged him.
Then he called Ayanokoji.
"Hello?"
"Ryuen here."
"Oh. Vice President Nagumo came to meet me. Why did you drag me into—"
"I don't know what you are talking about. Anyway, tell Horikita that to thank her brother for me."
"Uhh... why?"
"Just do it. Anyway, how is life being famous?"
"...It isn't that bad."
"Kukuku! Anyway, I called to tell you that do not interfere between me and Nagumo."
"I won't be able to anyway."
"Yeah. Tell yourself that."
Ryuen hanged the phone.
And then, called Nagumo.
"Yes? Who is this?"
"Kukuku! Your acting is really bad. As if you wouldn't have already saved my number."
"I don't... Oh. Judging by your voice, you are Ryuen huh?"
"Stop this underhanded tactics. I am giving a direct challenge to you."
"I don't understand what you are saying, but I am interested in the challenge you are speaking of."
Ryuen could feel excitement in the smug bastard's voice.
"I will tell you the venue, time and competition after I have arranged it. But if you continue harrassing me or my class from now on, forget about any competition."
"I don't know what harrasment you are talking about, but I will look forward to the competition."
"Kukuku! Pretend all you want, but in front of true strength, all tricks are useless."
Ryuen cut off the call, and called Manabu.
"The Student Council will take the complaint seriously."
"I didn't call for that. I am here to call for a favour."
"What is it?"
"Arrange a WWE style matches between me and Nagumo. You book the venue and stuff with highest audience capacity, and this Wednesday, next Sunday, and the all Sundays of this month, Summer Vacation, term end vacations, and Winter Vacation of this year.
But I will collect the tickets and revenue."
"... That's a really weird thing to ask."
"Can you do it?"
"Yes."
