Chie looked at her colleague's condition with feelings of shock to the point of being speechless.
(Is that child that amazing? Looking at Sakagami's current condition, he seems to be on the verge of mental breakdown...)
(That child really has no mercy when acting. This is a teacher, was it necessary to act this cruelly? Not only draining his entire salary, he also destroyed Class C's leadership, made their points zero, and at the same time raised Class D to Class C position.)
(Just one of this series of events would be enough to boast about for a lifetime, but you're telling me all this was done sequentially in one package? Are you joking?)
Chie took her beer glass and gulped down its contents greedily. She didn't even care when the liquid spilled onto her chest.
How could she care about such small matters now? She was truly half-dead with envy of Sae.
Chie wiped the remaining beer from her lips and slammed the glass on the table with a frustrated face.
"That bastard Sae! She really got a treasure. She must be laughing with joy behind us, just thinking about it makes my blood boil!"
Chie's beer glass almost broke from that impact, but her tone still sounded full of deep envy.
"Damn! I'm so jealous of Sae-chan. If only that child named Akasaka Ryunosuke was in my class... I'd gladly trade all my Class A students for him!"
Chie gulped down several more swigs of alcohol very boldly.
"Ah~ Refreshing! Boss, one more glass of beer!"
She raised her glass high. The bar owner immediately refilled it; clearly she was a regular customer and the boss knew how strong this woman's drinking capacity was.
"Haaah..." Kazuma let out a long sigh, gulping down brandy again until his eyes looked drowsy from drunkenness.
Mashima who couldn't stand seeing it immediately snatched that glass. He signaled Kazuma to stop drinking. Today was their farewell, tomorrow Kazuma had to leave, so don't drink too much.
Kazuma's eyes showed no glimmer of light at all; clearly he was already dead, mentally dead. He ignored their persuasion and kept gulping down hard liquor until he really couldn't get up anymore.
His two colleagues could only resign themselves. They helped Kazuma to his dorm, covered him with a blanket, then shook their heads listlessly before leaving that place.

On the other side, the school's Board of Directors Chairman's office. Where Sakayanagi Narumori worked.
Narumori looked at the information that had just come in with a headache.
It was a report about Kazuma and Ryuen's expulsion from Class C. He had understood the entire chronology of events, and precisely because of that he felt dizzy.
After all, Kazuma was a homeroom teacher, how could he be eliminated just like that?
This story sounded so extraordinary that if today wasn't April 1st, he would think his staff was playing a joke on him. This incident was too unreasonable...
A student not only eliminated a homeroom teacher, but also deceived that person for 20 million personal points, dragged Class C to the bottom until their class points became zero, and raised Class D to position C...
This series of events were interconnected. Could this really be done by a student?
Narumori read Ryunosuke's detailed document again, afraid he had missed something. But after reading it for quite a while, he found no irregularities; the data showed he was an ordinary person. From elementary school to university, he was just an ordinary person without outstanding achievements.
So, where was the problem? He didn't understand...
Besides his status as an ordinary person, the only striking thing was his giant debt reaching nearly 120 million yen.
His principal debt was 87 million yen, and he was given three years—exactly the graduation time of this high school. The other additional money was interest during those three years. That's why the debt collectors released him temporarily.
(Could this person's potential have just emerged because he was cornered?)
(Can pressure really make someone advance rapidly?)
Narumori stroked his chin while thinking.
"Should I try it at this school?" Narumori began considering experimenting on other students, wanting to see if extreme pressure could really trigger rapid development...
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
On the other side, Ryunosuke was already at Sae's private apartment.
Don't misunderstand, his purpose for coming here was purely to collect the remaining promised points, no other intention.
Sae had just finished bathing; she came out only wearing a pink bathrobe with her hair still dripping wet. She dried her hair with a towel, completely not caring about the teenage boy's presence in front of her.
Ryunosuke also didn't care; he had no lustful intentions toward her. Compared to lust, he loved money far more...
Sae sat on the sofa and crossed her legs without worrying about being exposed, then immediately ordered Ryunosuke. "Get the hair dryer from the dressing table."
"Oh, okay," Ryunosuke reflexively did it.
After bringing the device, Sae again asked for help drying her hair. Ryunosuke was obedient again; for money's sake, he was patient...
Ryunosuke swept back Sae's long black hair and stood behind her to dry the teacher's hair. Sae closed her eyes enjoying her student's service.
A long time later, she said softly. "This time you did very well. Later I'll transfer the remaining 1.2 million points to you. Just dry my hair first..."
"Alright," Ryunosuke sighed and continued drying her hair.
After finishing, he returned that device to the dressing table and showed his student terminal. His meaning was very clear: job finished, where's the payment.
Sae laughed bitterly. "You're really money-crazy."
However, she still transferred 1.2 million personal points according to their agreement: for every class rank increase, she would give a 2 million point reward.
Clearly Ryunosuke succeeded, even exceeding expectations. Sae realized she had found a precious gem.
To rise to Class A, she would never let go of this child. Sae combed her hair with her fingers, radiating extraordinary mature charm.
Ryunosuke remained flat-faced, completely unaffected. As soon as he saw the points had entered his account, without further ado he immediately turned to leave. He didn't want to stay a minute longer.
Sae was stunned. Her hand that was tidying her hair froze in the air, her lips twitched slightly.
(My beauty charm shouldn't be bad, why is this kid not reacting at all? Really strange.)
Seeing Ryunosuke was really going to leave, Sae hurriedly called him. "Wait a minute! What's so hard about chatting a bit with your teacher!"
But as soon as those words came out, Ryunosuke had already exited the room and locked the door from outside, as if afraid Sae would chase him.
This made Sae feel a bit bitter.
"Am I already old?" She touched her smooth wrinkle-free face. "I'm not past 30 years old yet, should still be okay, right?"
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
Meanwhile, Ryunosuke who had left Sae's room finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Almost. Nearly couldn't resist, but fortunately my resolve toward money is stronger than the temptation of her charm."
"But... does that teacher still have money to pay me later? As I recall, she spent 5 million points to save Yamauchi, then gave me 2 million points. Her savings at most are only 8 million (8 million points), doesn't that mean she's already bankrupt now?"
