"I agree. After all, this is what we discussed."

Kaneda agreed.

"What about Class C?"

Shenqi looked at Hirata.

Hirata smiled slightly.

"If it's for winning, I have no objection."

Although Hirata advocated defense, the development was different from what was expected, but if it was really as they said, even if the team was mixed, it would not be harmful to Class C.

"Hirata, are you agreeing so easily? I don't think we can get along very well with other classes."

Sudo immediately stood up and spoke.

Not only Class C represented by Sudou, but even the students in Class BD had some complaints.

Mixed teams are a double-edged sword. High returns also mean high risks. Disagreements between classes, or even people who are already at odds with each other, will only have a counterproductive effect if they are put together.

But this is obviously the school's policy. In order to integrate into the social system, society will not just let you huddle together for warmth. If you can't adapt in an environment like school, you will be a waste when you leave school.

Qinglong watched quietly without saying anything.

In response to Suteng's question, Hirata spoke patiently.

"I understand. I suggest that we form a team on our own first. If there are any problems, we can just disband and regroup. If there are no problems, we can just sign up. What do you think?"

"I agree. It's meaningless to waste time here. If we waste time, Class A will already have entered the next step of deployment."

Shenqi agreed.

The voices of the remaining students gradually disappeared, as if they were leaving the decision-making power to their respective leaders.

"We don't object either."

Kaneda said calmly.

However, although the students had no objection to the situation, they all had a puzzled look on their faces. Everyone around knew that Ryuuen, not Kaneda, was supposed to be the leader of Class D. However, Ryuuen, who was considered the leader, did not participate in the discussion, but stayed away from everyone, showing no signs of observing the situation.

The third semester has officially begun, and the news that Ryuen has retired from the front line has long been known. However, among the students who are unaware of the inside story, some people are skeptical about this matter.

Shibata from Class B is one of them.

He asked bluntly.

"I want to ask, is this an instruction from Long Yuan?"

As soon as Shibata's words came out, even Hirata and Shinqi's expressions changed slightly. This was a question they had all avoided asking, but now it was directly asked by Shibata.

Kaneda's expression did not change as he looked directly at Shibata and spoke.

"This is my personal opinion. Even though I have Long Yuan's guidance behind me, I am the one standing here talking to you. Do you have any questions?"

Shibata looked at Kaneda, whose expression was calm but whose tone was obviously a little angry, and apologized.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to make sure that I have no ill will towards you."

"Nothing, if the problem is solved, we should start grouping quickly."

But although this grouping started, it froze in the beginning because there was no leader, a group of people were hesitant. For them, it was more important to avoid those who might hold them back and make them last than to find people with outstanding abilities who could win.

Among these joker cards, the most conspicuous one is Long Yuan.

Hirata and his team obviously saw the problem and immediately began to lead the first group of fifteen people, headed by three people, but this still left a few people out and they couldn't take care of everyone.

Although the three classes planned to cooperate sincerely, after knowing that the leaders of their classes had formed a group, the people in their respective classes still moved closer to their own teams. This is normal. If you don't work for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. It is everyone's ideal idea to avoid elimination and live with people you are familiar with.

"Kiyotaka, what are you going to do?"

Yukimura and Miyake, who are close friends with Kiyotaka, approach Kiyotaka and want to ask for his opinion.

"How do you decide?"

Qinglong did not give any opinion, but asked back.

"I plan to cooperate with you. It's really too much trouble to use my brain."

Miyake folded his hands behind his head and said indifferently.

Yukimura asked with a hint of seriousness.

"Is this really a good idea? Hirata's actions have undoubtedly lowered our class's chances of winning. If we spread out like this, even if Class A is hindered by Yamauchi, I don't think we can win. But it's better to focus on the elite team and fight against them."

Yukimura said as he looked at the people in Class C who had always been at the bottom and were trying to protect themselves, and who kept asking to join Hirata's team.

Qinglong smiled indifferently.

"Sometimes self-preservation is also a strategy. We have just been promoted to Class C. Being too anxious may only lead to bad consequences."

"...That's true."

Yukimura's dissatisfaction was easily resolved by Kiyotaka's simple words.

Qing Long looked at Ryuuen who was excluded and guarded everywhere, and suddenly an interesting idea came to his mind.

Perhaps, this is not a joker, but an ace.

Kiyotaka walked up to the leader of the three Hiratas and spoke to Hirata.

"Hirata, I want to lead a group, is that okay?"

Hirata looked at Kiyotaka in surprise, as if he didn't understand why Kiyotaka, who had always been low-key, would suddenly make such a decision.

"Are you sure, Ayanokouji-san?"

"Well, if I can pull one."

Afterwards, several people looked at Qinglong in surprise as he walked towards Ryuen.

"You're so lonely, Ryuuen."

Qing Long said calmly as he stood beside him.

"Tsk, aren't you comfortable living a leisurely life?"

Ryuuen chuckled.

"Are you feeling comfortable? You are now an existence hated by all gods and ghosts."

“I never cared what other people thought.”

Long Yuan was dismissive of this.

Qing Long also thinks that this is the attitude he should have. As for the opinions of outsiders...

Qinglong raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and said to Ryuen.

"Really? But what about the goal of graduating from Class A?"

Ryuuen's eyes suddenly froze, and he looked at Qinglong with a wild laugh and said.

"What do you want to say?"

"I didn't want to say anything, but I've always been curious about a question. If I can't graduate as a Class A student, will I be labeled a loser? Coincidentally, I hate this title. I think you do too."

"so what?"

"So...you, the Joker that everyone hates, do you want to join my team and become an ace?"

Kiyotaka held out his hand.

Ryuen looked at Kiyotaka with great interest, and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Kiyotaka.

"You are indeed an interesting person. I hope you won't bore me."

"certainly..."

Chapter 149 Two jokers.

If Kiyotaka asked Ryuen to form a team so that everyone could draw out the joker cards, then his next move would undoubtedly surprise everyone even more.

After convincing Ryuuen, he did not stop, but turned and walked towards Koenji.

"Hey, hey, hey, no way..."

Yukimura looked at where Kiyotaka was heading and couldn't help but speak.

"It seems so. In that case, I will lead a team as well."

Miyake shrugged, patted Yukimura on the shoulder and began to organize. Although he didn't like to work, in his eyes, Kiyotaka had already sacrificed so much, so it would be better to end this team-up quickly.

"Koenji-san."

Kiyotaka called out to Koenji who was staring out the window in a daze.

"What's up? Cold boy."

"..."

Even though they have been together for two semesters, Kiyotaka still feels a little overwhelmed by Kouenji's occasional surprising remarks.

"Want to join my team?"

"It doesn't matter whose team I join, it's up to you."

Kouenji kept looking out the window, with no intention of looking at Kiyotaka.

"No, I mean, join with purpose, join with enthusiasm."

Kiyotaka said calmly, his golden eyes fixed on Kouenji.

And it was not known whether it was because Kiyotaka's words aroused Kouenji's interest or because he felt Kiyotaka's gaze, he turned around and looked at Kiyotaka for the first time and said.

"Cold boy, I think you should know that I just want to live a peaceful school life. These things have nothing to do with me. Do you understand?"

"If you want to graduate as a member of Class A, I think it would be better if we cooperated. After all, it may not be me who is standing in your way. There is a big obstacle to your plan."

"My plan? Obstruction? Are you saying you see through me?"

Kouenji looked interested for the first time and asked, looking at Kiyotaka.

"I would like to listen to what you say. If you can impress me who thinks this school is really boring, then I don't mind cooperating with you."

Qinglong's expression remained unmoved, and he sighed indifferently like a robot.

"Sometimes money can really do whatever you want. I have to admire the charm of money. I feel it even more in you."

"Oh? Go on."

"When you first entered school, you had already inquired about ways to be promoted to Class A, and there happened to be a way that suited you best: 20 million points to graduate from Class A. At the same time, you also learned that after graduating from this school, the unused points would be discounted to a certain extent, and then turned into currency that can be used even in society, that is, money.

For ordinary people, 20 million yen is not a small amount, but for you as the heir of a chaebol, it is not an impossible number, so you have bribed some senior students who have no hope of promotion since you entered school, promising to buy their points at a higher discount price. Although you asked them to keep it secret, you have to know that there is no impenetrable wall in this world. Even I can know something, so you can imagine that I am not the first one. "

"Clap clap clap."

Kouenji clapped his hands, and for the first time, a hint of excitement appeared on his face.

"Beautiful, if you can understand me so clearly, you must not be an ordinary person. You are right. I knew the rules from the beginning, so I feel that this school is boring. As long as I can survive for three years, I can graduate as a member of Class A, so why should I take this risk?"

Qinglong smiled with an ambiguous meaning.

"Because of Nanyunya."

"Humph?"

Kouenji snorted and turned to look at Kiyotaka, waiting for his next words.

"If it goes as I expected, your plan will be scrapped in the near future. Nan Yunya will not agree to such loopholes. If there is an exception like you, then the second graders he leads will no longer follow him wholeheartedly, because your loophole can be said to be a chess piece that can shake his position."

"So what is the reason you came to me?"

Kouenji looked at Kiyotaka.

"Cooperate with me, not just this time, to bring down Nan Yunya."

Kiyotaka said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Hahaha, this is really interesting. It turns out there are fun things in this school. Okay, I promise you. I want to see what you are going to do."

Koenji laughed in vain, attracting everyone's attention, but he didn't care about other people's opinions at all. He stared at Kiyotaka and said.

"Then, happy working together."

Kiyotaka extended his hand, just like he did with Ryuuen.
