"What did you say? You bastard! Who do you think you are? Do you think the senpais will listen to you? You think the student council is so amazing, don't you?"
Sudou Ken didn't believe him at all, and shouted loudly, very angry.
And just as he had predicted, it was indeed a case of violent anger issues.
"The senpais in the council may not listen to me, and the student council may not be great, but with your current situation, I feel that I have a good chance of persuading them. After all, no society would like a person like you who has a big temper, is not strong, and is like waste, in its midst."
Ying Ye Zhenshi responded calmly, pointing at the boy in question with his finger.
He was grumpy, like an annoyed chimpanzee.
"Don't speak nonsense. What I did just now was nothing. I was just angry with you because you betrayed the class. You...!"
This bland way of going about things caused Sudou to finally feel something inside.
Some part of him was screaming that something unexpected might just come out of this threat of Ying Ye's.
He tried to say something useful in response, but couldn't come up with anything.
"Isn't this too unbearable? This is all just some excuses. I think you really do have anger issues. Moreover, given your little performance all this while, it should be rather obvious to all of our classmates in the class that my judgement is accurate."
"You...!"
Ying Ye Zhenshi continued to goad him.
But while he was talking, a hand was placed on his shoulder.
Hirata looked over at Ying Ye seriously.
"Do not say anything more. Please."
Even if he was very angry, he still looked like he was negotiating with Ying Ye.
Just a little while earlier, he had felt that the atmosphere in the class had become very weird, and so he wanted to stand up and motivate his classmates.
But before he could think of what to say, Sudou Ken had rushed out from his seat.
He was angry with Sudou Ken, and he couldn't help but wonder why his temper was so violent, and why he couldn't just talk things out.
And now, he was also angry with Ying Ye Zhenshi, as he wondered why he treated his classmates with such an attitude, especially since he was a very competent individual.
He was also angry with himself, and why he couldn't guarantee anything for the class.
If he had seen through the school and could come to a decision, then things wouldn't have devolved into such a situation.
'So, is it that I still can't change anything?'
"I'm not the one you should convince, Hirata-san. Keep going like this and you'll only be hurting yourself."
Pushing away the hand on his shoulder, Ying Ye Zhenshi kept speaking with a smile on his face.
It may have been a good thing to place someone with a mother-like personality in class B, but here?
Hirata was just waiting to self-destruct.
He was a ticking time bomb.
There were no more incentives for Ying Ye to continue this argument anymore.
He sat back in his original place as if nothing had just happened.
But if one watched him closely, one would have noticed him taking out his mobile phone to text someone, and one would have found that he was actually communicating with Horikita Manabu about suing Sudou.
Hirata watched this scene and opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't.
He knew that this matter would never be resolved, and he only hoped that it would not escalate to something so troublesome in the end.
"Asshole. Asshole!!!"
Sudo got up and walked back while they were talking.
While walking and cursing, his classmates beside him looked at him with a strange gaze.
He was like a lost dog.
No, he was a lost dog.
This made Sudou even more angry.
"You guys didn't do anything just now."
Returning to his seat, he glanced at Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki.
Obviously, they had proposed he ambush Ying Ye in the first place.
They had communicated with each other about their desire to give Ying Ye Zhenshi a little trouble.
They had guessed that since they had no more class points, the fallback from beating Ying Ye up would warrant no further punishment.
"Things happened way too fast."
"Ah, that's right! We didn't have the time to react, and Hirata came over after, so we didn't go."
"Really, Sudou, trust us. We will join you next time..."
"Oh…"
Seeing Sudeng Ken's appearance, the two parted their lips with a guilty conscience.
Even if they hadn't fought together, they still should have stood up and supported him just now.
Just like one could intimidate as a group better than alone, they could have taken the boy's 18 million points and attacked him together.
But, no.
That hadn't happened.
"I see."
Sudou Ken looked at them with a gloomy expression on his face.
He didn't say whether he believed them or not.
From the situation he found himself in, it could be seen that he was now very angry.
It was like he was about to explode at any time.
Because of the incident between Sudou and Ying Ye Zhenshi just now, the atmosphere of the whole class remained very weird all day long.
Even if they spoke, the students would communicate in a very quiet whisper.
But the behaviour in the class got a little better because if one took out their mobile phone or was lazy, the students around them would keep looking at them with accusatory eyes.
It made them feel uncomfortable.
Well, except for Sudou, as he seemed like no one on this planet could bother him anymore.
He completely disregarded everyone else and had been lying on his desk since the first lesson, leaving others not knowing what to do about him.
The tense day gradually passed, and Ying Ye Zhenshi began to receive his reward.
2 million points, 2.5 million points, 3 million points, one after another rolled into his account.
Every time Ying Ye Zhenshi would receive a vibration-accompanied notification prompting him to accept a payment, he would take out his mobile phone to do so.
He didn't mean to hide this action of his either.
So long as the people next to him paid some attention to him, they would definitely have seen what he was up to.
And if someone learned of it, the whole class would basically know what was going on.
7.5 million.
While the other students had already spent all their points, the local tycoon was actually by their side.
Even Kushida Kikyo next to him looked at him curiously.
The guy obviously knew everything, but she didn't know that he still had six million left to go.
More than 13 million points were in his account now.
It could be guessed that even Nagumo, who was the boss of the second year, couldn't compare to him in terms of wealth.
During that day's class, Ying Ye Zhenshi could feel that the students beside him had thousands of things they wanted to say to him.
It was nothing more than them thinking up ways to ask to 'borrow money' and exchanging looks to please him.
People were all like this.
Even if the person they had to please was withdrawn, and even if they were a bad person with a bad temper.
