Perhaps because he was bored, Takuma Tsukishiro kept glancing at the people around him while writing the monotonous plan.

It seemed that most of them were senior students, and there were hardly any freshmen.

His eyes lingered on the covers of the senior students' textbooks, then moved on to others.

Soon, Takuma Tsukishiro noticed a quiet girl who was holding Orhan Pamuk's masterpiece, a top-notch mystery novel.

Do you like girls who do reasoning?

Tsukishiro Takuma suddenly became interested, but he did not act immediately. Instead, he honestly finished the plan on hand.

About an hour later, he pretended to get up and walked past the other person in a hurry.

"...Wait a minute, is this something you dropped?"

Hearing a girl's voice behind him, Tsukishiro Takuma turned around in confusion and saw her picking up the pen on the ground. He suddenly seemed to remember something and hurriedly expressed his gratitude shyly.

"Yes, this is my pen. Sorry to bother you. Thank you."

"It's okay, I'll pay more attention next time."

She seems to be a kind-hearted girl, so let's get to know her a little more.

Let’s just pretend that we are of the same interest.

"Hey, is that a novel by Orhan Pamuk?"

Perhaps because she heard something unexpected, a slight light suddenly flashed in her eyes.

"Oh, yes. I kept an eye out for it for a few days, and today I finally saw someone return it to the library. Are you interested in detective novels?"

"I'm currently very fond of mystery novels. It feels great to see a puzzle and then slowly solve it."

"I see. I have a similar feeling. By the way, have you read any of Raymond Chandler's novels?"

"I have only read his The Long Goodbye, and I haven't read his other books."

"This is a famous work. I've been wanting to read Raymond Chandler's work recently, but I can only find The Big Sleep."

"Maybe someone borrowed it first."

"Oh, that's what the administrator said..."

A distressed expression appeared on her face, as if she was a little unhappy about it, and then her eyes immediately sparkled.

"Have you read any of Agatha Christie's or Dorothy L. Sayers' series?"

"No, the only early detective novel I've read is The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle."

"In that case, I'll take the liberty of recommending you some mystery novels, shall I?"

The girl seemed to have found a like-minded person and patiently recommended several mystery novels to Tsukishiro Takuma.

I have to say, seeing the other person smile happily is really an indescribable thing.

"I don't think I've introduced myself yet. I'm Tsukishiro Takuma from Class D of the first year."

As a gentleman, Tsukishiro Takuma would naturally take the initiative to introduce himself. He couldn't let girls awkwardly call him "that guy" the next time they met.

"Tsukishiro... Sorry, it's our first meeting. I'm Shiina Hiyori from Class 1-C."

The girl who claimed to be Shiina Hiyori introduced herself to him very politely. She somehow had the demeanor of a lady, perhaps she was an excellent student.

Perhaps because of Tsukishiro Takuma's gaze, Shiina Hiyori suddenly whispered, "Did Tsukishiro-san feel troubled just now?"

She thought that it was her constant pushing of books to strangers that offended Takuma Tsukishiro.

"No, it's rare that someone is willing to recommend a masterpiece to me, so I will take the time to read it."

"...I see. I thought Tsukishiro-san would dislike me." Shiina Hiyori was visibly relieved and smiled faintly. "My classmates don't like reading, and I don't dare to bother seniors, so I can't find anyone who shares the same interests with me. It's great to meet Tsukishiro-san today."

Don’t like reading?

It sounds like this is another class with a poor learning atmosphere. Aren’t Japanese students too decadent?

No, I have to ask Kamuro-san about the situation in Class A.

"Does Shiina-san like reasoning?"

Seeing Shiina Hiyori's happy look, Tsukishiro Takuma asked knowingly.

"Well, but rather than saying that I like mystery, it would be better to say that I simply like reading, especially mystery novels." Shiina Hiyori gave the standard answer of a literary girl.

Tsukishiro Takuma asked again: "Do you usually try to deduce certain puzzles?"

"Sometimes I play some jigsaw puzzles or logical reasoning games, but I'm not very good at other types. Does Tsukishiro often play reasoning games?" Shiina Hiyori seemed very interested, with curiosity in her eyes.

"I come across some occasionally, but it's not me who wants to play them, but my friend. He wants to find some challenging puzzles, but this school doesn't seem to sell any puzzle games, so now he's very distressed." Takuma Tsukishiro said seriously, something he didn't believe.

"That's a shame..." Shiina Hiyori thought of her own experience and couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the other party. Then she immediately cheered up and said, "Why don't we try to let him read mystery novels? Detective novels should be similar to puzzle games, right? At the beginning of the novel, a puzzle is given, and then the protagonist or the reader is asked to solve it. I think he will definitely like this feeling!"

"I think so."

"Great, I have some mystery novels from my personal collection here, if you don't mind, Tsukishiro-san and his friends can read them."

She picked up the schoolbag next to her and as soon as she unzipped it, Tsukishiro Takuma saw three or four novels that felt very heavy in her hand.

"I thank Shiina-san on his behalf."

"You're welcome. This is for people with similar interests. It would be lonely if you don't have anyone to share your reading with."

She is talking about others as well as herself. She is truly a literary girl who loves reading.

Seeing Shiina Hiyori's expression, Tsukishiro Takuma suddenly felt soft-hearted and silently canceled his plan and hypnosis.

"I'll let him read it, and I'll tell you what I think about the book when we next meet."

He took the novel by Lawrence Block because he had only heard of this author.

"So it's a deal, huh? Tsukishiro-san?"

Why does he have an expression that says "You've got to watch this right away, I'm really looking forward to it"? Didn't I tell my friend he wanted to watch this?

Next, Tsukishiro Takuma and Shiina Hiyori agreed on a meeting time, and he said goodbye to the library.

On the way back, he couldn't help but sigh.

He clearly planned to hypnotize Shiina Hiyori and force her to participate in his quiz with prizes and be responsible for the puzzle design part.

But for some reason he still felt soft-hearted, perhaps because he remembered the little girl from college who was always timid, often holding a book and gently pulling his sleeve.

"...Would you like to come and watch it together?"

I don't have that kind of time. I still have to prepare for my graduation defense... Wait, don't apologize to me. I will watch it with you. I still have some time.

While thinking about the past scenes, Takuma Tsukishiro hesitated for a while about his plan, but finally he made up his mind.

There is nothing much to say. If it is not implemented properly, people will definitely die.

First of all, we need to wield the whip of greed on the entire school, especially the first-year students who are ignorant and do not yet understand the importance of points.

At the same time, he had to package himself well, otherwise it would be difficult to gain the trust of Odagiri Saito and Horikita Manabu.

Tsukishiro Takuma's eyes sparkled. He knew better than anyone why that bastard goddess chose him to be the evil villain.

……

The next day, in the Go club's activity room, Tsukishiro Takuma accepted the loyalty of his followers.

"Tsukishiro-kun, this plan is so well done, it's impeccable." Odagiri Saito's face was full of approval. After all, he was the founder of the club, and he had a deep understanding of this kind of overall planning scheme.

It seems that he made the right choice. People with coordination ability will definitely have excellent leadership. The core of the first grade is very likely to be Tsukishiro Takuma.

"I'm just showing off my skills in front of an expert. If you think there's no problem, then we can assign tasks." Takuma Tsukishiro looked around. Almost everyone in the Go club was there. Even Beppu Ryouta, who was also a first-year student, was listening beside them with his ears perked up.

"no problem."

“No opinions here either.”

"Hahaha, my axe has been thirsty for a long time!"

Finally, Odagiri Saito looked at Tsukishiro Takuma and said sincerely: "Please give the instructions, Tsukishiro-kun."

In order to observe Takuma Tsukishiro's leadership ability, he has retreated behind the scenes and almost gave up the Go club.

Tsukishiro Takuma glanced at everyone, and then pointed out each person's task at a very fast speed.

"Suzuki and Tanaka were very patient when playing chess. Although they lacked momentum and were always afraid to kill my dragon, you were much more careful than others and played very well in the endgame. This time, the renovation of the activity room will be in the hands of the two seniors."

"Watanabe-senpai, Nakamura-senpai and Inoue-senpai, you played fast chess well, even though you started to get flustered in the middle game. But I think you are very suitable to be in charge of publicity and appearance."

"Takahashi-senpai has a very active mind and learns routine changes very quickly. I'll ask you to take charge of the hosting duties. When Odagiri-senpai and I are not here, you will be the person in charge."

"Ichikawa-senpai..."

After a while, Takuma Tsukishiro finished assigning tasks to everyone, except himself, Odagiri Saito, and Beppu Ryouta.

"Tsukishiro-kun, don't I have a part to do?" Odagiri Saito couldn't help but ask.

To be honest, Tsukishiro Takuma felt dizzy and dry mouth as he was able to understand everyone's personality and abilities just by using his experience in Go.

Damn, why is this guy a student in Class D?

Did the school make a mistake?

Even such a genius can only stay in Class D, so how terrible is Class A this year?

"Not yet. If you don't mind, why don't you come with me to the school to buy questions and hand over the plan to the student union." Tsukishiro Takuma said, his eyes fell on Beppu Ryouta, "I may be busy next time, but I will still make time for guidance. I will buy a temporary activity room from the student union, and the quiz with prizes will be held there."

Beppu Ryouta didn't know what he should say. Originally, he was only impressed by Takuma Tsukishiro's Go skills, but after staying in the Go club for two or three days and being influenced by his predecessors, he gradually realized the difference of Takuma Tsukishiro.

The biggest difference between the other party and these freshmen is their strong execution ability.

He felt complicated that such an activity could be organized in the first week of school and implemented step by step in a planned manner.

His seniors often revealed some information to him intentionally or unintentionally, which made him feel a little anxious. He even returned to Class B and told Ichinose Honami and Kanzaki Ryuji this information.

It seemed that Ichinose Honami went to confirm something with the teacher and came back to tell him not to worry too much.

Don't worry about anything. This guy named Tsukishiro Takuma is so scary that even the seniors in the grade are loyal to him.

Beppu Ryouta calmed down a bit, then gritted his teeth and said, "Can I also participate in this event? I don't have enough points, but I can help for free."

On the first day of school, Ichinose Honami proposed the establishment of a class committee, and then collected a lot of points from everyone to be used as public class funds, saying that they would be used in emergencies, such as cultural festivals or sports meets.

Therefore, Beppu Ryouta doesn't have many points now.

"Of course, you're most welcome." Takuma Tsukishiro smiled. He never worried that Beppu Ryouta would not get in the car.

His organization can tolerate members who cannot keep up with the pace temporarily, but will never allow anyone to remain neutral or wait and see.

Tsk, I was planning to use hypnosis.

019 I am a man who wants to bring happiness to everyone

The plan was handed over to the student council. Horikita Manabu said nothing but asked Tachibana Akane to supervise them at that time.

However, when they went to the teacher to buy questions in the name of the Go club, they didn't seem to be surprised at all.

It seems that the Student Union should have reported it.

Especially the head teacher of Class B of the first grade, Mr. Hoshinomiya, who was drunk and stuck to him, asking him in an extremely seductive tone whether he wanted to transfer to Class B.

Chabashi Sae said something even more incomprehensible.

"You shouldn't be in Class D."

The moment he heard these words, Tsukishiro Takuma couldn't help but recall a memory of his original self.

Unfortunately, before he could figure it out, he was so angry at the teachers' shamelessness that he almost fainted.

"What, they're charging me 50 points for questions?"

Facing his loud questioning, Chabashira Sae crossed his arms and said calmly, "You don't have to buy it if you don't want it. The school has always had reservations about your activities."

Tsukishiro Takuma's face turned black. He dared to charge him 50 points for the first time. It was hard to imagine how much he would dare to charge next time.

“Hey, don’t make that expression, Tsukishiro-kun. Saeda-chan is just a little strict. I’m telling you, as long as you do this…”
