Even though there were many light novels and comics in this school, Kamio Tatsuya had no intention of reading them.
Anyway, reading those things was too relaxing. He was in the study phase right now, so he planned to find some extracurricular books that required brainpower to relax a little.
After filtering through them, Kamio Tatsuya thought that mystery novels might be a good choice.
Because the first-year students were almost all studying, these extracurricular books were free. Kamio Tatsuya easily found what he wanted.
"Murder on the Orient Express," Kamio Tatsuya looked at the book in his hand, shook his head, put it down, and picked up the one next to it.
These were not the books he was looking for. He wanted to find "And Then There Were None," but it didn't seem to be here. Had someone borrowed it?
Although he had a backup, it was the English version, and Kamio Tatsuya admitted that he couldn't quite understand it yet.
In the end, he took "The ABC Murders" and left the area, returning to his previous seat.
In the blink of an eye, it was six o'clock. Kamio Tatsuya put down his book and started packing. He decided to borrow "The ABC Murders" so he wouldn't have to look for it again tomorrow.
Back in the dorm, Kamio Tatsuya took out his phone and looked. Still, no one had come forward to extort the class in front.
Class D was really boring.
Anyway, they would be enemies in the future so he wouldn't be polite.
The next day, Kamio Tatsuya was approached by Horikita as soon as he arrived in class.
"Do you know about the things on the forum?"
"The things on the forum?" Kamio Tatsuya looked curious. "Are you talking about the anonymous post?"
Hearing this, Horikita nodded.
"Someone, in the name of our Class D, sent a request for help to the top three classes, hoping that they would, out of humanitarian spirit, give our class 10,000 private points per person as living expenses. If they don't, it's possible that someone will copy what Yamauchi did yesterday and harass them."
Kamio Tatsuya nodded to show that he knew about this, because it was he who did it.
Moreover, he didn't threaten them. He just requested them to help with living expenses and explained one possibility—if Class D continued to have no living expenses, then Class D students might do something unwise.
Although it was essentially a threat, the surface work was done well. Even if they took this to teacher, teacher wouldn't be able to do anything.
Because the students in Class D hadn't done anything yet.
Looking at the surface of the text, Kamio Tatsuya was at most just describing a possible future situation that would be unfriendly to the upper classes.
Moreover, he also wanted to use this matter to do an experiment, which was whether the school would so easily reveal the real information of anonymous users.
"Do you know who posted it?"
Horikita Suzune shook her head.
"I heard that the other classes have already reported this matter to the school, demanding to know who exactly posted this, but the school has not announced the person's identity because of this."
Kamio Tatsuya nodded and suddenly smiled.
"Then who do you think did it?"
The sudden question made Horikita Suzune pause, and then she looked at Kamio Tatsuya suspiciously.
"It couldn't be you, could it?"
Wow, you're really good at judging people.
Kamio Tatsuya was about to refute when Horikita Suzune immediately shook her head again.
"It shouldn't be. You don't lack points, and you're not the kind of student who would work hard for the students in the class."
Hearing this, Kamio Tatsuya spread his hands, pouted, and said nothing.
The other classes also had different reactions to the post Kamio Tatsuya posted anonymously.
"He actually made a move so quickly, and it's just as I expected. This is really interesting."
Ryuen looked at the post on the campus forum, his lips showing a smile.
Because the school year had just started and he lacked understanding of the students in Class D, even if Ryuen wanted to find this anonymous person, he couldn't start.
So after thinking about this, he immediately dragged Class A and Class B into the water.
As a result, this had an effect.
And similarly, the students in Class A naturally knew about this.
"What are you planning to do?"
Looking at the post on his phone, Katsuragi said to Sakayanagi.
"What about Katsuragi-kun?"
Sakayanagi didn't answer but asked in return.
"Class A is full of excellent students who won't be easily provoked."
"Is that so?" The smile on Sakayanagi's face remained unchanged. "But I think it's better to give the money obediently."
"Are you afraid?"
"Think what you want." Sakayanagi obviously didn't want to say too much to Katsuragi. "Masumi-san, let's go to the cafeteria to eat."
Looking at Sakayanagi's departing back, Katsuragi's face was very serious.
"Masumi-san, who do you think did this?"
"Huh? How would I know who did it?"
Kamuro Masumi looked unhappy, as if she was having her period.
In fact, she had been bossed around by Sakayanagi these days, because Sakayanagi knew about her kleptomania for some reason.
Although she wasn't threatened by the other party, she was somehow ordered around by the other party.
"It's very simple. You should know this person."
"I know?" Kamuro Masumi was stunned. "Wait, are you talking about Kamio?"
"In my opinion, it's very likely him. This way of making people uncomfortable but having to be led by the nose fits his style very well." Sakayanagi Arisu's face showed a happy expression, as if she had found a toy.
"But that guy shouldn't lack points, right? What's the point of doing this?"
Kamuro Masumi knew that Kamio had more than three million private points, so she didn't think Kamio Tatsuya would be interested in these mere tens of thousands of private points.
Sakayanagi couldn't figure this out either, but she vaguely had a feeling that Kamio Tatsuya seemed to be doing this casually.
But even so, its methods were interlocked. To break the situation, you could only completely restrain the students in your class, just like Katsuragi said.
But students are also people, and people make mistakes.
So Kamio Tatsuya's strategy, to some extent, is unsolvable. You only have two choices: either obediently pay the money or obediently be messed with.
In fact, if Katsuragi had chosen to pay the money just now, Sakayanagi had another way to make Class A's position more stable.
That was to directly use another sum of money after paying the protection money to hire Class D students to cause trouble for Class B and Class C.
It's a pity that Katsuragi is really too conservative and doesn't recognize himself... it's not worth planning with a fool.
She hoped that no one in Class B and Class C would think of this and counterattack Class A.
No, although Ichinose from Class B might not do such a thing, Ryuen from Class C was not so sure.
