Coming to Central Tracen, I'm only here to do three things!
Lose money!
Lose money!
And keep losing money!
By now, Su Luo's monthly "loss KPI" had already reached 100 million yen.
But what he found hilarious was that… he felt like the more he tried to lose money, the more money his bank account seemed to have.
What the hell was going on?
He was already racking his brain trying to burn cash.
So why was the number in his account still climbing…?!
Didn't that just make it look like he was bad at losing money?!
And lately, Su Luo's motivation to lose money had climbed to a whole new level.
The reason was simple: he'd finally figured out the system's "lose money" mechanism!
It was known that every month, the system would issue Su Luo a certain amount of funds specifically for him to lose.
For example, if this month's loss KPI was five million, then the system would demand that Su Luo lose all five million.
But what if he didn't finish losing those five million?
What would happen?
The text in the system said: if Su Luo couldn't complete the KPI, the remaining money would be converted into a corresponding fine.
But what form did that "fine" take?
Did it confiscate the remaining money and then punish him further?
Or did it divide punishments into tiers depending on how much money remained?
For the sake of planning his future loss strategy better, Su Luo decided he had to understand the system's rules clearly.
So last month, he tried something once:
He lived for an entire month without losing money at all.
And he got the following result:
[Detected that the host did not complete the specified loss target]
[Remaining balance: 70,000,000]
[70,000,000 will be deducted from the host's bank account, and next month's initial funds will be reduced to 50,000,000]
[Next month's loss KPI will be reduced to 50,000,000!]
[Detected that while the host failed to complete the loss target, the host's investments produced profit]
[Special punishment triggered!]
[The horsegirls around you will become anxious!]
[Horsegirls' possessiveness toward you will increase!]
[Warning: if horsegirls' possessiveness rises too high, something bad will happen!]
After that ordeal, Su Luo pretty much understood the system's nasty personality.
If he didn't complete the KPI, the system would automatically deduct the remaining amount, and it would lower next month's starting funds.
But because the next month's KPI target would drop as well, the pressure to lose money didn't really increase that much.
No—what Su Luo cared about more was that special punishment…
So if he failed the loss target and still made money, the special punishment would trigger?
This was the first time he'd ever heard of something like that!
The horsegirls around him would feel anxious?
Their possessiveness toward him would rise?
What did those punishments even mean?
What did "possessiveness" mean?
What was the point of "possessing" him anyway…?
Su Luo was completely baffled by this special punishment.
Even though he didn't understand what it was for, since the system categorized it as a punishment, it probably meant it would affect him negatively.
So if possible, it was best to complete the money-losing tasks.
If something went wrong… it would be too late.
In short, in order to complete his loss tasks more effectively, Su Luo had now arrived in Central.
As long as the loss plan kept running normally, he wouldn't meet the trigger condition for that special punishment.
But the best-case scenario would be making Oguri and the others stop generating profit…
The system's loss KPI rose month after month. If one day the number got so high that he couldn't lose it all, then a single win from Oguri Cap or Tamamo Cross would make him trigger that special punishment.
That absolutely wouldn't do.
He had to prevent it properly.
With the intention of "correcting" Oguri Cap and the others' way of thinking, Su Luo walked along the roads of Central Tracen.
Because it was his first time here, he couldn't find where Oguri Cap and Kitahara were…
He got lost.
"Ugh, what the hell—why is this Central Tracen so huge…? Feels like it's even bigger than Nishikino Academy by a whole lap."
"Central Tracen really is Central Tracen… putting teaching quality aside, at least the scale is terrifying."
As Su Luo walked around campus, he observed every aspect of the academy.
He tried his best to notice the differences between Central Tracen and Nishikino Academy—because in those tiny differences, there might be opportunities to lose money.
And while he was looking around and wandering aimlessly, a woman in a green office outfit stopped him.
"Excuse me, did you run into some trouble?"
"Ah, you are…?"
Su Luo looked up.
The woman wore a clearly green hat, and her face carried a gentle smile like warm sunshine.
"My name is Hayakawa Tazuna. I'm the Chairwoman's secretary at this academy. You look like you might be having difficulties—do you need my help?"
"Chairwoman's secretary…?"
Su Luo was a little surprised. He'd assumed Central Tracen's secretary would be some kind of middle-aged man, but instead it was a beautiful young woman.
"To be honest with you, I'm an investor for one of the students here in Central. Do you know where she might be?"
"Mm, so you're looking for someone? Then could you tell me the student's name?"
"Oguri Cap."
"Oh, it's Oguri Cap?"
Hayakawa Tazuna looked surprised—she clearly hadn't expected the man in front of her to be the investor behind Oguri Cap, who had been stealing the spotlight in Central lately.
"If it's her, she should be at Central Tracen's training grounds right now. Just follow this road straight ahead and you'll reach it."
"Really? That helps a lot! Then I'll be going."
"Alright. Take care."
Watching Su Luo's back as he left, Hayakawa Tazuna blinked.
"Ah… I forgot to ask his name. What a mistake."
"But it's really strange… just talking with that gentleman made me feel so happy."
"…What a curious feeling."
"But… Oguri Cap's investor, huh? If I ask the Student Council President, I should be able to learn something."
With that thought, Hayakawa Tazuna headed toward the Student Council office.
