COTE : Backed By Black Technology System

After the discussion ended, the members from Class A, B, and C immediately gathered their class members to complete the contract signing.

As for Class D, Hirata and Kushida went to persuade the others. Hirata volunteered, while Kushida was eager because, as a privileged student, she could earn 500,000 private points.

Besides, how could she miss out on something so positive, like earning an exemption for the class?

Of course, Class D wouldn't tell the students about Kanda Shuichi taking a large amount of private points for himself just yet.

Even if we talk about it, that will have to wait until the exam is over. Therefore, the contract for Class D also has a small difference. 

Although the punishment is still expulsion, in addition to voluntarily agreeing to result one, it also requires 500,000 points as class funds, and a total of 20 million points to secure the expulsion punishment. 

With this, the goal seems more impressive. Even if some students don't want to contribute points, it's okay. 

For those kinds of people, Kanda Shuichi has another contract. 

Anyone unwilling to contribute points will be prioritized for expulsion when an exam requires someone to be expelled. 

Then, the class will have no choice but to comply. 

"Hirata boy, this isn't your idea, right?" 

When Hirata brought the contract to Koenji, Koenji immediately saw that this wasn't something Hirata would do—he wasn't capable of it yet. 

Considering the members of the Ryuu Group and those who weren't present, he quickly figured out the answer. 

"Indeed, this was the result that Kanda-san facilitated. I just helped with what I could." 

Since Kanda Shuichi didn't ask for secrecy, Hirata directly told Koenji the truth. 

"I see. Where's the sickly boy? I want to have a word with him." 

Koenji took the contract but didn't sign it immediately. Instead, he asked about Kanda Shuichi's location. 

"Kanda-san is on the deck on the second floor. If you have any issues, you can go find Kanda-san to complain." 

Kanda Shuichi had given special instructions regarding Koenji. It didn't matter if he didn't want to sign, because Kanda had already expected this situation. 

A few minutes later, Koenji appeared on the second-floor deck, holding a refreshing glass of lemonade. 

"Nice job, sickly boy." 

Kanda Shuichi had become immune to Koenji's strange nickname; caring about it was a loss. 

"I was wondering whether I should come find you or you'd come find me. Looks like it's you coming to find me." 

"Looks like you already knew I wouldn't sign the contract." Koenji put the contract on the table and took a sip of his refreshing lemonade. 

"Of course. For ordinary students, I can threaten them with expulsion if they don't cooperate, but not you. I already promised during the deserted island exam that I wouldn't do that." 

Kanda Shuichi hadn't forgotten his promise, which pleased Koenji. 

"Also, the main reason you didn't want to sign the contract is probably because you're confident you can identify the preferential students in your group, right?" 

"Oh? Didn't expect you to think of that. How interesting." Koenji didn't deny Kanda Shuichi's words. "It's just a simple guessing game to find the cheaters. Two conversations were enough." 

"So, I've prepared a new contract for you." 

Kanda Shuichi then took out a new contract from his pocket. 

The basic content was that if Koenji continued to complete the remaining exams and supported the group in reaching result one, he wouldn't have to contribute his 500,000 private points. In fact, he would even receive 100,000 extra private points from Kanda Shuichi. 

Of course, Koenji wouldn't be on the expulsion list. The promise made during the deserted island exam was also written in this new contract. 

Unlike the contracts with the other students, this one required signatures from both Kanda Shuichi and Koenji Rokusuke to take effect, and Kanda had already signed his name. 

For the contracts with others, Kanda Shuichi could tear them up unilaterally. 

Seeing this, Koenji looked at Kanda Shuichi. 

"Looks like you've made quite a bit of money this time." 

"Not bad. So, what do you think? Will you sign the contract?" 

Koenji nodded. "Alright. 250,000 an hour is a pretty good wage in this school."

After hearing Koenji's response, Kanda Shuichi handed over the pen he had already prepared. Koenji took it, then signed his name on the two copies of the contract.

The contract was made in two copies, one for each party.

If either side breaks the contract, they will be expelled, and no amount of 20 million personal points can exempt them. This is the power of a contract validated by the school.

After signing, Koenji took one copy and left.

Kanda Shuichi kept the other copy.

Soon after, Ichinose from Class B walked over with a folder, clearly containing the contracts signed by the students of Class B.

"Here are the contracts from all 40 students in Class B."

"Thanks. Once the points are processed, I'll transfer them to you." Kanda Shuichi took the folder from Ichinose, placed it on the desk, and didn't seem interested in checking it.

Ichinose appreciated the trust.

Next, Katsuragi and Ryuen also sent people to deliver the contracts from their classes. It wasn't that they couldn't come themselves, but they just didn't want to see Kanda Shuichi's smug face right now.

The person from Class C was Shiina Hiyori, and from Class A, it was Kamuro Masumi.

Damn it, are they trying to use their looks on me?

No way!

Luckily, Hirata and Kushida had come before them, or I might have fallen for it. Really, I was this close to falling for it.

Once he received all the contracts, Kanda Shuichi went back to his room with Hirata.

Even though there were 158 contracts, only four folders were needed to hold them all.

It wouldn't even take two people; one person could carry them all.

When they returned to the room, Miyake had already taken a shower.

"Yo, you're back, Shuichi, and Hirata too."

"Since you've showered, get to work." Seeing Miyake, Kanda Shuichi didn't hold back and threw the folder containing Class A's contracts at him.

"What's this?"

Miyake instinctively caught the folder, then opened it with a puzzled look, pulling out the contents.

"This is..."

As soon as he saw what was inside, Miyake's eyes widened.

Although he had signed a contract under Hirata's arrangement, he had no idea that Class A had signed one too, and that it was about transferring the exam's profits.

Miyake then looked over at the three folders still in Hirata's arms, swallowing.

"Hey, Shuichi, I've always known you were impressive, but you're not telling me that those are the same kind of contract, right?"

"Congratulations, you got it right." Kanda Shuichi shrugged. "This time, apart from the points from Class D, which I'm giving to Hirata as insurance, every student from Classes A and C owes me 500,000 personal points, and each student from Class B owes me 250,000."

"So, now you're a millionaire? Does that mean I can come over and mooch food every day and not worry about draining your wallet?"

Huh?

You're focusing on that? Kanda Shuichi rubbed his forehead and sighed.

"Alright, alright, you can come mooch food. Happy now?"

Shouldn't you be wondering what I'm going to do with all this money? Why are you just thinking about food?

In fact, what Kanda Shuichi had done was something that had never happened since the school was founded.

In the first year, to earn tens of millions of points on his own?

It was exactly because nothing like this had ever happened before that when Chabashira found out Kanda Shuichi had 20 million personal points, she was so shocked and panicked.

And now...

Just from one exam, he'd earned 49.5 million personal points from the school. This was insane.

With this many points, he could pretty much do whatever he wanted in this school. There was no risk of expulsion, and he could even use his points to do things that benefited him. He might even be able to change the school rules.

From this moment on, no first-year student would be able to control Kanda Shuichi.

As expected, such a big piece of good news...

Miyake Akito, as my close friend, you're only concerned with whether you can get unlimited free meals in the future?

Can you show some ambition!?

However, Miyake Akito had already taken out all the contracts and was going through them one by one, while also marking the list of Class A students.

Hirata, who had already sat across from Miyake, also pulled out a stack of contracts and started looking through them.

Though he was a nice guy, he was determined not to mess around with this kind of thing just to get an exemption ticket. He was being very serious in checking everything.

Sighing, Kanda Shuichi also joined the group to check the contracts.

An hour passed, and all the contracts from the four classes were checked, with no signs of tampering.

After finishing, Kanda Shuichi put the contracts back into the folder and placed it directly into his backpack.

These things were very important until the money was collected. The system-issued pocket couldn't hold anything that wasn't from the system, otherwise, he would have stuffed it all in there. It was much safer that way.

"Now, all we need to do is show up on time for the next exam. With the result already decided, everyone will probably feel a little more relaxed."

Upon hearing this, Hirata smiled in relief, while Miyake just rolled his eyes and didn't say anything.
