The vote difference between Ryunosuke and Nagumo currently was about 20 votes. Ryunosuke was ahead by 20 votes.
If Nagumo wanted to defeat his opponent, he had to pull an entire class to his side to have a chance of winning. Therefore, he decided to spend 20 million personal points to buy support from Manabu's archenemy, the members of Class 3-B.
Currently, in front of Nagumo sat the leader of Class 3-B. He didn't beat around the bush and directly offered 20 million points on the condition that they all had to give their votes to him.
After all, if he won, there were 80 million points belonging to Ryunosuke as replacement, so he didn't feel bad spending these 20 million points.
The opposing party agreed without the slightest hesitation. The reason was simple: with these 20 million personal points, they had a chance to rise to Class A.
Since the first day of entering school, it had been explained that points could buy everything, including class points. However, class points were quite expensive and rarely were people able to buy them. The ratio was 1:1,000. Meaning, 10 million personal points could only buy 100 class points—an astronomical price.
However, if they got 20 million from Nagumo plus their entire class assets, catching up to Class A was no longer just a dream!
Although Manabu still had 20 million personal points, he wouldn't be able to withstand the point onslaught from all class members.
Nagumo wasn't surprised at all that they agreed; this was all according to his prediction. The two shook hands, completing the transaction.
News of this transaction reached Manabu's ears. In the Student Council President's office, he appeared to furrow his brow.
"This is bad..."
"I only have 20 million points left, I won't be able to fight against the total class points of Class 3-B."
"It seems that for the final push toward Class A, they will spend all their class points to fight against me."
Manabu sighed. "There's no other choice, I have to ask for outside help."
He immediately called Ryunosuke to borrow points to maintain Class A's position. Although he was the leader of Class 3-A, he wasn't confident enough that he could make all his class members drain their wallets completely. Even if drained, it might not be able to match the 20 million points "charity" from Nagumo to Class B.
Don't forget, the class point difference between the two classes was very thin. At least the total wealth per class wasn't far different because the two were chasing each other tightly. With the addition of 20 million personal points from Nagumo, Class 3-B's total assets had now surpassed Manabu's Class 3-A.
Without a way to cover this shortage, it would be very difficult to win the final class competition. That's why he wanted to borrow points from Ryunosuke who had the most points to face this crisis.
Not long after, Ryunosuke arrived at the Student Council and sat in front of the Student Council President to discuss this problem. Manabu wanted to exchange cash for Ryunosuke's personal points at a ratio of about 1:2.
Meaning, 40 million yen in cash was exchanged for 20 million of Ryunosuke's personal points. Because Manabu was very desperate, he gave a fairly high price.
Here, Ryunosuke was clearly very advantaged. Exchanging personal points worth 20 million cash for 40 million yen (original currency) was truly a tempting deal.
What reason to refuse?
He immediately transferred 20 million personal points to the Student Council President. However, he requested payment in cash form.
Understandably, he was currently in debt status and his bank card was frozen. If money was deposited into a bank account, the bank had the right to directly seize that money. That's why Ryunosuke requested cash for security.
With this, the repayment of his debt moved one step forward. Even without touching his personal points, the cash in his hands was almost sufficient.
With 40 million from the Student Council President, plus 30 million from Hiyori (to redeem Ryuuen), as well as royalty money from writing entrusted to him, the total had reached tens of millions of yen.
Although to bring Ryuuen back Ryunosuke had to spend 20 million personal points, he still profited by a difference of 10 million yen. Truly not a loss.
However, he didn't want to bring Ryuuen back now. At least wait until the Student Council President election was over. Currently he was already very busy—had to find vote support, deal with Nagumo, and find a way to make Tsukishiro leave!
He didn't want Ryuuen to return just to add to his mental burden. Considering Ryuuen's nature, that man would definitely hate him very much and would take revenge. Ryunosuke didn't want to add enemies at such a critical time; that would be too exhausting.
After giving 20 million points to the Student Council President, Ryunosuke's remaining personal points were now only 60 million. However, his cash flow had reached a fantastic figure of 40 million yen, even if added with royalties and Ryuuen's ransom funds, the amount was already approaching 100 million yen. The repayment of his debt was already in sight.
Ryunosuke left the Student Council and intended to campaign for the Student Council President election. The only one that came to his mind was Kiryuin Fuka from Class 2-B.
That white-haired beauty was the only person who didn't submit to Nagumo and always opposed him. Ryunosuke was sure that if he made an offer, Fuka would gladly help.
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
On the other side, Nazuna managed to find Fuka. The two were sitting on a park bench while chatting about this Student Council President election.
Fuka stated that she was very interested in that underclassman named Akasaka Ryunosuke. Nazuna felt the same way. She wanted to correct Nagumo's mistakes so that her childhood friend wouldn't fall further.
While they were enjoying their chat, Ryunosuke arrived at that place. Fuka cracked a smile and said to Nazuna beside her:
"Look."
Speak of the devil, the person being discussed had just arrived~
Nazuna also turned and was so shocked she covered her small mouth with her hand.
"Akasaka-kun?!"
