When people hear something truly ridiculous, they often feel an urge to laugh. Just like right now—Shikime Natsu had been wondering what Ryuuen Kakeru wanted to say, only to find out he actually wanted every student in Class A to give points to Class C.
It was simply off the charts in terms of absurdity.
"Just because the few of you have surrounded me on the rooftop, you think you can get monthly points from Class A? Isn't that taking things a bit too much for granted?"
Even while surrounded by four people, Shikime Natsu showed no panic whatsoever. Instead, he appeared quite casual, his pale golden eyes looking at Ryuuen Kakeru as if looking at a fool.
"Of course I don't think that. Because of the violent incident, Class C has already had quite a few Class Points deducted in the first month. Although I don't know exactly how many, it's definitely fewer than Class A and Class B."
"If you aren't willing to make a trade, I don't mind dragging you all down with us."
Ryuuen Kakeru spoke slowly, the expression on his face quite flat. As long as he could drag Class A down into the mire, he would use whatever means necessary.
"Lateness, violence, or other things will all affect the changes in Class Points."
Well, the transaction Ryuuen Kakeru spoke of wasn't exactly a lie, it was just that this transaction was equivalent to paying protection money.
If most people in Class C were like Ryuuen Kakeru, then as long as they knew the movement routes of the Class A students, they could send people to block them, delay them until class time, and directly cause many Class A students to be late. After going back and forth like this, it would be mutual destruction.
It had to be said that this kind of hooligan tactic was truly disgusting.
He didn't know if the school would intervene, but as long as it wasn't a violent incident—just blocking the way and using clumsy excuses—the school probably wouldn't care.
After all, avoiding trouble is better than dealing with it.
Shikime Natsu didn't intend to place his so-called hope on the school.
The "No Violence" effect obtained from Shiina Hiyori only lasted for one day, while the cooldown time was two days; it wasn't a solution in the long run.
"How about it? Do you agree?"
Ryuuen Kakeru spoke leisurely, seemingly convinced that Shikime Natsu would agree to his proposal.
"It's just twenty thousand points, quite cheap, isn't it?"
"This counts as coercion, right?"
Shikime Natsu chuckled lightly, his eyes devoid of any timidity, without even a hint of finding it troublesome.
"Think whatever you want."
Ryuuen Kakeru sneered. At a time like this, asking if it was coercion—wasn't that a bit too funny?
In his view, Shikime Natsu shouldn't be such a naive person. Could it be he had some preparations?
Ryuuen Kakeru pretended not to care as he kicked the rooftop door fiercely, then pulled it open. There was no one there.
On the way here, Shikime Natsu hadn't turned on his phone from start to finish, nor was it possible for him to have contacted anyone.
"Didn't your homeroom teacher tell you at the start of school that using intimidation and violent behavior to threaten others into handing over points is unacceptable?"
"What, are you planning to tattle?"
Ryuuen Kakeru chuckled.
"One-sided claims can't become evidence, and the same goes for transfer records."
That kind of thing could basically all be explained away as a transaction. As for the content of the transaction, the school couldn't manage that either. As long as there was no direct evidence, it was all useless.
On the way here, Ryuuen Kakeru had ensured that Shikime Natsu hadn't used his phone before saying all this. Otherwise, the first thing he would have done upon entering the rooftop was snatch Shikime Natsu's phone.
Without recording video or audio, then... what direct evidence was there?
"The evidence you want is right here."
Shikime Natsu didn't hide it either; he directly took out a recording pen from his pocket. This kind of thing was quite nice to have.
Holding his phone the entire time was also for Ryuuen Kakeru to see, to ensure that he hadn't used the phone to pull any little tricks. When a dangerous element might appear, one's gaze would definitely focus on that dangerous element.
Of course, ordinary people wouldn't think of something like a recording pen. What kind of good person carries a recording pen around with them?
Seeing the recording pen, Ryuuen Kakeru frowned immediately. This guy really was difficult to deal with. He thought he had been careful enough, but he hadn't expected Shikime Natsu to actually carry a recording pen with him. It seemed his vigilance towards Shikime Natsu was still far from sufficient.
"Snatch it!"
Ryuuen Kakeru gave the order directly.
To the side, Ishizaki Daichi and Yamada Albert shrank the encirclement, reaching out to pin Shikime Natsu down.
"Why do you think I showed the recording pen to you?"
Shikime Natsu was in a very bad mood right now. He punched Ishizaki Daichi and Yamada Albert respectively. The two instantly lost their ability to move—after all, having A-rank power and speed was no joke.
Of course, if he used his full strength, he might directly kill someone, which wouldn't be good. Ibuki Mio, seeing this scene from the side, couldn't help but widen her eyes. Just as she was about to step forward, Shikime Natsu directly eliminated Ibuki Mio's fighting spirit.
If she had come up together with Ishizaki Daichi and the other just now, Shikime Natsu wouldn't have minded teaching Ibuki Mio a lesson, even if she was a girl. But since she was a step slow, he simply erased Ibuki Mio's will to violence.
Now, Shikime Natsu and Ryuuen Kakeru stood face to face. Ryuuen Kakeru's expression had also become somewhat ugly. In his view, if Ishizaki Daichi and Yamada Albert attacked together, they certainly should have been able to snatch the recording pen from Shikime Natsu's hands.
Especially Yamada Albert; that guy's physique could be said to be quite terrifying. It had taken Ryuuen himself a long time to make Yamada Albert submit to him.
But now, the two of them couldn't even withstand a single punch from Shikime Natsu?
Judging by their current state, they had already passed out.
Damn it, when did this guy become so strong?
During their last encounter, Shikime Natsu clearly hadn't given him such a great sense of oppression. Could it be that he had held back last time?
If he didn't have this A-rank power and speed, Shikime Natsu would have chosen another solution: not revealing the recording pen, faking the transfer, and then reporting it to the school. Not only could he get the points back, but he could also get Ryuuen Kakeru punished. Whether it was suspension or expulsion would depend on the school.
However, since he possessed A-rank power and speed, there was naturally no need to mistreat himself.
"There are no surveillance cameras here, you know~"
Shikime Natsu chuckled lightly, then took out four mobile phones from his own pocket.
"You guys can't record video or audio either."
Ryuuen Kakeru stared blankly as he saw his own phone in Shikime Natsu's hand. How was that possible? This guy took his phone, and he didn't react at all?
"This is the place you chose, so... let me vent my anger properly."
What Shikime Natsu hated most was someone threatening him, and Ryuuen Kakeru had done exactly that. He even thought about getting physical. Even if it was Ryuuen Kakeru, he had to teach him a proper lesson.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Ryuuen Kakeru was quickly beaten to the ground. He couldn't even break free from Shikime Natsu's restraints and could only passively take the beating. Before long, his face was covered in black and blue bruises.
As for Ibuki Mio on the side, not only had her violence been cleared by Shikime Natsu, but she had also been subjected to Mind Interference. At this moment, she was standing frozen in place, in a daze.
After about several minutes, Shikime Natsu finally finished venting. Looking at the pig-headed Ryuuen Kakeru, he chuckled lightly. His control over his strength was quite good; his precision must also be A-rank. He didn't leave any permanent scars on Ryuuen Kakeru, only temporary injuries. Ryuuen Kakeru hadn't fainted directly like Yamada Albert and Ishizaki Daichi while being beaten, either.
Although he could use the Skill Card: God-Tier Massage Technique to restore Ryuuen Kakeru, Shikime Natsu felt he should let it be. Letting Ryuuen Kakeru stay bruised and swollen for a while would make a deeper impression on him.
To be able to anger him within just a week of school starting, Ryuuen Kakeru was indeed quite a talent.
"Let's restart the transaction. Next, I'll set the conditions."
