Tomoya Mashima said in a calm tone: "It won't be too difficult, you'll know next month."
He subtly affirmed and responded to Katsuragi Kohei's question earlier, then changed the subject, clearly telling those monitoring him that he hadn't said anything.
This homeroom teacher is quite interesting. Suzuki Toru, who had been silently observing, added another note to his notebook.
… …
The day's classes passed quickly, but everyone tacitly remained in the classroom, not rushing to leave.
"To prevent special situations from arising in the future, I think it's necessary to reserve half of our personal points each month," Katsuragi Kohei calmly suggested.
The current situation in the class is very unfavorable for him. Arisu Sakayanagi suddenly made a move, instantly stealing the spotlight.
Previously, many people didn't care about being a class leader and just did their own thing. It was normal for them to be unconvinced because everyone's grades and experience were similar. Why should they listen to you?
Katsuragi Kohei's circle… no, it should be called his faction now, and it barely consists of more than a dozen students.
At this moment, many people have realized that the class needs a capable leader.
As the most outstanding of them, they should naturally have the most outstanding leader.
In just half a day, Arisu Sakayanagi had gathered many people around her, no fewer in number than Katsuragi Kohei, and some had even defected from his faction.
Now, Class A has two factions. One is the Kei Katsuragi, which Katsuragi Kohei has cultivated for a week, giving him some foundation of trust.
The other is the supernova Sakayanagi Faction, whose core figure is Arisu Sakayanagi. Hashimoto Masayoshi and Kito Hayato had joined her at some point.
The remaining students either maintained a hesitant attitude or looked indifferent.
"Hehe, Katsuragi, who do you think should be in charge of keeping these personal points?" Arisu Sakayanagi smiled slightly. This pointed question essentially asked who the class leadership should belong to.
"Of course, our Big Brother Katsuragi!" Totsuka Yahiko was the first to charge forward.
"What a joke! Sakayanagi should manage our personal points!" Loyalists have already begun to appear in Sakayanagi Faction.
"She's just a little kid who looks like a middle school student at most. Big Brother Katsuragi used to be the president of the Student Council, so his experience is definitely richer than hers!"
"Hey, hey, who are you calling a middle school student? Middle school students are obviously the best!"
Saying something like that will get her killed, right?
It seems that even the students of Class A can't avoid being ordinary, and they argue like old women in a vegetable market.
No one can convince anyone, and if this continues, everyone will probably just do their own thing.
"Suzuki-kun, you can't run away at a time like this, okay?" Arisu Sakayanagi said with a smile, stopping someone.
Suzuki Toru, who had already reached the classroom door, had no choice but to turn around and meet her gaze.
"Who do you think should be responsible for keeping the personal points?"
She actually passed the buck to him, but he's not a referee.

In fact, Katsuragi Kohei had also noticed Suzuki Toru's actions. Judging from Arisu Sakayanagi's level of attention, the other party's abilities should be good.
Moreover, his performance just now was not bad, making him worth trying to win over.
However, he hesitated because Suzuki Toru seemed to have some connection with Arisu Sakayanagi.
Getting back to the main topic, concentrating the personal points of the entire class, even without the transaction just now, is a very reasonable decision.
Whether it's the two factions or the students who plan to remain in the wait-and-see and neutral positions, they have no objections.
Because the school clearly intends to use personal points as a universal tool in this school.
But the question is, who should the personal points be handed over to?
Suzuki Toru's expression was calm. For Arisu Sakayanagi, this question was mostly to find out who he favored more.
And in normal circumstances, when a girl asks this kind of question, she undoubtedly wants you to choose her.
Could this middle school student be hoping that someone will praise her?
These thoughts flashed through Suzuki Toru's mind in an instant, and then he finally spoke: "If it's just about keeping the personal points, anyone can do it, right?"
He avoided the issue of usage rights. Arisu Sakayanagi narrowed her eyes slightly, still smiling on the surface.
"That's not the same, right? This kind of thing should definitely only be handed over to the most trustworthy person," Totsuka Yahiko shouted.
"Are you saying that you suspect there will be a traitor in the class?" Suzuki said disappointedly, "I didn't expect Totsuka-kun to distrust everyone so much. I originally thought that everyone was a companion and could trust each other. It seems that I didn't consider it clearly enough."
Totsuka Yahiko's expression stiffened. These words had pushed him to the forefront.
Some people began to look at Totsuka Yahiko with resentment. If they can't even trust a companion in the class, how will they spend the next three years?
"No, Yahiko doesn't mean that. He just wants to say how we should choose a suitable candidate. After all, these personal points are not a small amount," Katsuragi Kohei defended his subordinate, "Suzuki, do you have any recommended candidates?"
"This kind of trivial matter doesn't need to take too much time to think about, Suzuki-kun," Arisu Sakayanagi also urged.
At this time, facing the attention of the two leaders, everyone also stared at Suzuki Toru.
Suzuki Toru didn't look at Katsuragi Kohei, nor did he look at Arisu Sakayanagi, but instead focused his gaze on another direction in the classroom.
"I think Morishita is quite suitable."
As soon as he finished speaking, many students showed surprised expressions on their faces, and even Katsuragi Kohei and Arisu Sakayanagi couldn't help but be stunned.
"Is Suzuki Toru going to choose me?"
In front of his line of sight, a girl tilted her head slightly, seeming a little confused. A few strands of hair also slid from her shoulders to her chest with the girl's movements, not particularly round, but not to be underestimated.
This girl is named Morishita Ai.
Since the start of school, Suzuki Toru has been observing her, because this seemingly inconspicuous girl occasionally exudes some desires.
There are illustrations here, which can be viewed after the version is updated
[Do whatever you want while she's asleep], [Sleep, sleep, sleep, all you know is sleep, you must be severely educated], [Lick Morishita Ai's jade feet hard], [Be stepped on by her jade feet, and then show an incurable look], [Date Morishita Ai], [I want to taste what this rude little mouth tastes like]… …
"Hehe, a little unexpected, can Suzuki-kun tell me the reason?" Arisu Sakayanagi was not angry at all, but rather interested.
"Hey, hey, you're not just choosing randomly, are you?" Totsuka Yahiko looked at Suzuki Toru and Morishita Ai suspiciously.
Even Katsuragi Kohei couldn't help but frown.
The reason is very simple, because Morishita Ai's personality is a bit strange.
"Yes, I'd like to know too, otherwise it'll bother me, Suzuki Toru." Morishita Ai, who had been sitting in her seat, turned her body to look at everyone. Beneath her skirt were striking black tights, with a delicate sheen that looked good to the touch.
Seemingly noticing Suzuki Toru's gaze, she subconsciously closed her legs. Her face still didn't show much emotion, her temperament was cold, as if nothing could attract her special attention.
In other words, she was a girl without much motivation.
Of course, that alone wouldn't be a problem, but her wording was a bit off.
Normal Japanese people don't call others by their full name. She kept saying Suzuki Toru, which was really eye-catching.
"Choosing anyone is the same, personal points won't fly away on their own." Suzuki-kun paused. "If you're not satisfied and want to change, you can. This time it's Morishita, next time it's Shimizu-kun, we'll rotate through the whole class."
No, the meaning is completely different.
Suzuki-kun avoided the Kei Katsuragi and Sakayanagi Faction, and picked a neutral and innocent Morishita Ai.
The two leaders were well aware of this.
"Hehe, that's too troublesome, why not let Morishita be responsible for keeping it all the time?" Sakayanagi Arisu said with a smile. So, he didn't want the class to be divided.
"I have no objections either. When we want to use it, we can all discuss it together." Katsuragi Kohei nodded.
Morishita Ai blinked. How did she get appointed all of a sudden?
"In that case, starting next month, everyone will have to hand over half of their personal points."
No one objected. The two factions together made up two-thirds of the class.
Thus, Class A had its first collective decision.
Finally, these messy things were settled. Suzuki-kun quickly left the classroom.
However, trouble always comes one after another.
"Please wait a moment, doesn't Suzuki-kun have anything to say to me?"
Hearing Sakayanagi Arisu's voice, Suzuki-kun looked back and, sure enough, she was followed by many people.
Kito Hayato, Hashimoto Masayoshi, and Kamuro Masumi.
Wait, why is Kamuro Masumi here?
"Hey, hey, hey, what's with that look in your eyes!?" Kamuro Masumi keenly noticed his thoughts and immediately glared at him.
You're the one with the problem, aren't you? You said you had your own plans, but you immediately became Sakayanagi Arisu's subordinate.
Although that's what he thought in his heart, he had to maintain a calm facade.
"It's my honor to see Sakayanagi display her full strength for the first time. I believe that Katsuragi will inevitably end in dismal failure within a semester. I think that under your leadership, everyone in Class A can move towards a bright future, and there won't be a single dropout."
Because there were so many of them, Suzuki-kun couldn't help but liven up the atmosphere a bit, so as not to offend anyone by saying the wrong thing.
Especially Kito Hayato. This guy looked gloomy and scary, with a hideous appearance, and wore gloves on his hands, giving the feeling that he would kill someone at the slightest disagreement.
Suzuki-kun noticed that his steps and posture were different from ordinary people. He seemed to have learned some martial arts, and should be very good at fighting.
Strangely, upon hearing his words, Sakayanagi Arisu and Kamuro Masumi both showed very strange reactions.
"Hahaha, as the princess said, you are quite an interesting person." Hashimoto Masayoshi seemed unable to help but laugh.
No, it's just that I heard that appropriately showing a different image can attract the other party's attention and make them more interested in you.
Chapter 20: The Promise
"Today should be our formal meeting. My name is Hashimoto Masayoshi, and I look forward to working with you, Suzuki."
Hashimoto Masayoshi introduced himself in a serious manner. Although he looked like a frivolous handsome guy and his tone was quite easy-going, he didn't feel too repulsive.
On the other side, Suzuki-kun also heard a simpler self-introduction.
"Kito Hayato."
The other party's eyes were fixed on him, but there was no special reaction visible from his appearance.
"I look forward to working with you in the future. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving." Suzuki-kun nodded slightly to them.
"Running away after abandoning a girl, doesn't Suzuki-kun think that's very rude?" Sakayanagi Arisu smiled slightly, her eyes full of teasing.
"No." Suzuki-kun denied.
"So rude to girls. I thought Masumi was lying to me when she said that." Sakayanagi Arisu sighed in disappointment.
Suzuki-kun turned to look at Kamuro Masumi, who crossed her arms and stubbornly looked away.
This reaction undoubtedly meant that she had told Sakayanagi Arisu about his request at the time.
What on earth has Sakayanagi Arisu caught you with that you would reveal such a thing?
However, Sakayanagi Arisu stopped the topic in time and instead asked with a smile: "Speaking of which, what do you think of Katsuragi?"
From the class's point of view, Katsuragi Kohei's abilities are good enough, and he has a good character. Otherwise, people wouldn't have gathered around him as soon as school started.
The two factions that have appeared so far, Katsuragi Kohei relies on his usual behavior to gather a faction, even though he may not have had the idea of leading the whole class at first.
But now, he has to consider the leadership issue.
Regarding this, it's very simple. If Sakayanagi Arisu had shown her strength from the beginning, Katsuragi Kohei probably wouldn't have had any intention of competing.
However, Sakayanagi Arisu insisted on highlighting her presence in a high-profile manner only after a week, which shows that this guy is doing it on purpose.
Katsuragi Kohei probably already feels something is wrong at this time and holds a deep incomprehension towards Sakayanagi Arisu.
As for why Sakayanagi Arisu would do this, Suzuki-kun can't answer either. Looking at her, she doesn't seem to care much about the class, which may be related to her personality.
If it's personal, it can only be that her hobbies are different.
Considering Sakayanagi Arisu's actions at the time, and her attention to him, could this guy be bored?
"Katsuragi is intelligent, has a good memory, has a good attitude towards learning and people, is calm and cautious in character, has his own opinions, and is good to his classmates. Whenever there is a dispute, he will be the first to stand up and stop it. I don't see any shortcomings."
This isn't nonsense, it's the conclusion Suzuki-kun came to after observing for a few days.
In the absence of a class representative or leader, Katsuragi Kohei often takes the initiative to stand up, such as classmates arguing and fighting, or helping classmates solve their troubles. In short, he is a trustworthy person.
