"He's even more annoying than I expected. Compared to him, I still think you've got more potential, Mitoma Boy." Kouenji Rokusuke seemed to know about Nagumo situation too, but thinking about it, he had plenty of upperclassman senpai around him, so getting information was probably easy for him.
"It's because I can give you money, right?" Kaoru Mitoma said calmly.
Kouenji Rokusuke replied, looking speechless, "I don't have many personal points right now, but do you really think I care about your one million personal points?"
"It's fine, maybe we'll have a chance to work together again in the future. I'll send you another batch of personal points then." Kaoru Mitoma smiled slightly.
"Waiting until next time is too long. How about we work together again right now?" Kouenji Rokusuke smiled back.
"How about I buy your personal points with some cash?"
Kaoru Mitoma blinked, then refused, "No way. Wouldn't that mean I did all this for nothing?"
Hearing the conversation between the two, Horikita Manabu looked confused. He had originally thought that Kaoru Mitoma and Kōenji Rokusuke had formed a partnership, with Koenji Rokusuke providing the funds. But it turned out things weren't as he expected—Kaoru Mitoma actually had the money to pay in cash.
"A million isn't nearly enough for me to spend, but whatever, sometimes you have to try living a different kind of life. That's what they call a Wonderful life." A conflicted look flashed across Kōenji Rokusuke face, but he quickly broke into a big smile. It seemed like he was pretty satisfied with his current lifestyle. To be honest, Kaoru Mitoma felt a little envious of being kept by upperclassman girls.
"President, please transfer one million personal points to Koenji." Before Nagumo Miyabi left, Horikita Manabu had already received a transfer of four million personal points. Even though he was reluctant, he knew the other side wouldn't play any tricks in front of him, so he might as well admit defeat and go head-to-head with Kaoru Mitoma next time.
Yeah, as a senior, he had to show some generosity.
"What's up with Sato from Class 3-C?"
While transferring the money, Horikita Manabu didn't forget to ask Kaoru Mitoma about this. The buyer for the other contract still hadn't paid. Of course, Horikita Manabu wasn't suspecting that the other party was backing out; he just found it odd that Sato Keisaku would get involved in this at all.
He could see the problem with the contract, and Kaoru Mitoma had admitted to setting a trap on purpose, so by all logic, Sato Keisaku shouldn't have fallen for it. It was basically a misfire.
"He's just another collaborator," Kaoru Mitoma said.
"I've already called him over. We'll sign a new contract in a bit."
As long as both parties agreed, the contract could naturally be rewritten.
"Looks like there's nothing left for me to do here. Catch you later, Mitoma Boy."
"Just a personal suggestion, but the student council would be even better if it has more Beauty."
"...."
Horikita Manabu looked at him strangely. Why would an office need to be beautiful?
Kaoru Mitoma didn't really care. In his previous world, he'd met plenty of weirdos, including people at idol handshake events who specifically asked to sleep with him. What kind of freaks hadn't he seen?
As for Koenji Rokusuke wanting to go back, he didn't care. After all, the main reason he gave the guy a million personal points was to crush Nagumo. Yeah, and also to keep Koenji Rokusuke in place so he wouldn't pop up and mess up his plans.
Just now, he'd said he didn't care about personal points, but then he tried to see if he could buy Kaoru Mitoma personal points. He was probably suspicious, just like Nagumo, he thought he might not have enough cash, so he was testing the waters.
If he didn't have the cash, Kaoru Mitoma would have no choice but to sell his personal points to him. Too bad, Kaoru Mitoma just happened to have the cash.
...
"You're really going to exchange at a one-to-one rate and give us three million in cash?" Sato Keisaku stared at the contract in front of him, a little in disbelief.
Even though it only came out to seventy or eighty thousand per person in the class, it was still way higher than the school's buyback price.
"Is it not enough?" Suzuki Tetsu asked.
"Ahaha, that's definitely enough." Sato Keisaku said.
"We have to cover our daily expenses and also prepare for the next exam. Three million private points is already our limit."
As he spoke, he suddenly remembered Horikita Manabu standing nearby, and couldn't help but feel a little awkward.
"This is all the cash I have. Once you graduate, senpai, I'll transfer the money on time," Kaoru Mitoma said casually.
He hadn't planned on buying that many private points with this anyway—his real goal was Nagumo Miyabi. If Nagumo Miyabi got less, that meant he earned more points.
Sato Keisaku had wanted to ask how he was going to pay, but seeing Kaoru Mitoma calm expression, his own anxiety suddenly faded.
Since they could sign the contract, Kaoru Mitoma must have a way to handle it. Even though the school forbade students from contacting the outside world, it didn't completely cut everyone off.
For example, students could still go out to participate in club competitions. Honestly, there was no reason for a student council vice president to pull some kind of scam.
So, Sato Keisaku put the contract away with peace of mind and said goodbye to Kaoru Mitoma and Horikita Manabu.
Kaoru Mitoma tallied up today's gains: four million from Nagumo Miyabi and three million from Sato Keisaku, making a total of seven million private points. However, some of it still needs to be deducted, like the one million personal points given to Kouenji Rokusuke.
"Mitoma, you really have the makings of a leader," Horikita Manabu suddenly said.
From start to finish, Kaoru Mitoma actions toward Kouenji Rokusuke and Satou Keisaku were clearly about distributing the spoils, generously sharing the rewards of this victory with his key subordinates.
As a leader, you can take the biggest share, but you still have to let others have a taste. What pleased Horikita Manabu even more was that Kaoru Mitoma didn't allocate any benefits to him. The reason definitely wasn't that Kaoru Mitoma forgot about him, but rather that both of them knew very well that now Kaoru Mitoma owed him a favor.
In the future, Kaoru Mitoma would have to pay that favor back.
"It was just teaming up against Nagumo. Even if I hadn't stepped up, someone else would have,"
"But I'm honored I didn't let the president down." Horikita Manabu let out a sigh.
All signs pointed to the fact that this guy knew exactly how to keep things under control—not too much, not too little. If only Horikita Suzune had half of Kaoru Mitoma perceptiveness, Manabu wouldn't have to worry about his little sister so much. Wait a minute, maybe this isn't such a bad idea after all...
"Come with me to see Suzune. If possible, I'd like to entrust her to you." For a moment, Kaoru Mitoma expression turned really strange. What was with this tone, like he was trying to become his brother-in-law or something?
