Practical teaching: Starting from the soul traveling through Dragon Garden

Chapter 474 Suspicion
Katsuragi yielded, but he also had his bottom line. He would not steal the class's common points. He would earn the points needed to transfer classes on his own in the future. He could only promise that in the future, when Ryuen needed him, Katsuragi could sacrifice himself, but he could not promise Ryuen to sacrifice the entire class.

If that's the case, it's very different from what Ryuen wanted. Ryuen wanted the entire Class C to serve him, but now he's only won over Katsuragi. The reason Katsuragi obeys Ryuen is entirely because Ryuen helped Aoi.

If it weren't for Aoi, Katsuragi would never have sold himself to Ryuen at this point.

Longyuan didn't make things too difficult for Ge Cheng. His personality meant he wouldn't compromise so easily. The current situation was acceptable, but the next course of action needed to be modified.

"Katsura, since that's the case, we're now comrades."

"companion?"

Katsuragi didn't think Ryuen wanted a companion. He was clearly a very controlling person who only wanted subordinates. But since the boss said he wanted to be friends with him, even if he knew it was just polite talk, he still had to go along with it. Katsuragi's emotional intelligence wasn't so low as to contradict his boss at this point.

"Tch, what kind of companions are they? They're clearly birds of a feather!"

Himeya was still hiding behind Ryuen, quite wary of Katsuragi.

Longyuan pulled Ji Ye out from behind him: "You're one of those scoundrels too."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Literally, the three of us are now a community with a shared future, so the two of you had better get along well."

Ji Ye's eyes widened. She wanted to get along well with Ge Cheng? What a joke! She was the one who tricked him. It was already a miracle that Ge Cheng didn't hold a grudge against her. To think she could be friends with him? It was impossible.

Although Katsuragi has no good feelings towards Himeno at the moment, he will carry out Ryuen's orders if they are orders from Ryuen.

So Katsuragi extended his hand as a gesture of goodwill.

Extremely reluctantly, Himeya squeezed Katsuragi's hand briefly before letting go.

"Alright, now that you've become friends, Katsuragi, please do your best to help Himeno become the true leader of Class C!"

Ryuen smiled. Ryuen's goal had always been the entire Class C. Since Katsuragi was unwilling to be the bad guy who betrayed the class, he would just hand the task over to Himeno. As long as the final result was what Ryuen wanted, it didn't matter who was leading Class C.

"You want me to be a puppet?"

Hime's face paled. Thinking back to the time when she was controlled by Kanzaki, she felt extremely unhappy. On the surface, everyone called her the leader, but in reality, she only listened to Kanzaki's orders.

"No, I want you to be a leader, the kind whose word is law. Katsuragi can only assist you, but cannot influence your decisions. I want you to become a leader like Horikita."

Ryuen explained his plan, and Katsuragi understood that this was Ryuen's way of retaliating against him, but he had nothing to say. Right now, he just needed to follow orders, and he didn't want to think about anything else for the time being.

Hime was deeply moved by Ryuen's grand promise. In her heart, she admired Horikita very much. Compared to a dictator like Sakayanagi, Hime actually wanted to be a leader like Horikita who could lead the class to progress.

"What you need to deal with now is Kanzaki's problem. Once you solve this problem, unifying the class will be much easier. Of course, you can also try to win Kanzaki over, since he's one of your class's top fighters. If you can't recruit him, then get rid of him." Ryuen pointed in a direction. As for the specific methods and steps, Ryuen believed that Katsuragi and Himeno could handle it. If they didn't even have that ability, then there was no need to waste time and effort training them.

When Ryuen came out of Himeno's room, it was already quite late. Although they hadn't talked much, Ryuen felt very tired. He didn't know what the future of Class C would hold. He had just poured enough water into the sand and stirred it. Whether the sand would eventually build a castle or turn into a pile of mud was uncertain.

The exam was held as scheduled the following day. A short cramming session can indeed improve scores, but the improvement is limited. This exam tests everyone's basic knowledge, and the effect of last-minute cramming is not as obvious as imagined. After all, if everyone crams at the last minute, it is the same as no one reviewing at all, and the gap will not increase or decrease.

Under Hiyori's leadership, Class A defeated Class C by a narrow margin. It seems that Class C still has some strength. Even though there was a lot of infighting within the class, their studies did not suffer too much as a result.

On the other side, Class D unexpectedly reversed the situation and produced Class B. Not only were the people in Class B in disbelief, but the people in Class D were also in disbelief. Although Horikita said that he was sure he could win, he was also very clear about the gap between the two classes and was very uneasy before the final result came out.

"Congratulations, but you won't be so lucky next time, Horikita-kun."

Although Sakayanagi lost, he wasn't upset at all. This defeat, which was destined to happen, didn't affect him in any way.

With a calm expression and calm words, he walked away calmly, leaving Horikita with only a calm silhouette.

Horikita knew this victory didn't belong to him. If it weren't for that bet, he would have definitely lost by now. If A-class's 25-point advantage over C-class was subtle, then D-class's one-point victory over B-class, if not luck, was purely...
Control the score!

humiliation!

It's already difficult for one person to control their own grades, so how could Sakayanagi know this much about the entire class?
Horikita didn't believe it; this was something no human could do. The randomness and complexity involved were simply beyond human comprehension.

There is another problem: if Sakayanagi wants to lose the exam precisely, then he must know the answer situation of Class D in order to accurately control the score, because if he is slightly wrong, he will fail miserably.

So, there's a traitor in the class! Someone tipped off Sakayanagi!

who is it!

Realizing the problem, Horikita's face showed no joy of victory. Looking around at everyone in the class, he saw that everyone was cheering for their exam victory.

Horikita was the first to suspect Kikyo, who was smiling and welcoming the cheers of others. The joy in her eyes was at least three-tenths genuine.

In the vast sea of ​​people, only Ayanokouji remained expressionless. He was still the same, yet so out of place.

"is it you?"

Horikita murmured softly, but Ayanokouji couldn't hear her because of the distance and the noise around them. However, he could understand Horikita's lip movements.

"Nani?"

Ayanokouji responded with simple lip readings, which Horikita understood, but he still remained suspicious of Ayanokouji.
