This academy is located next to Tokyo Station, undoubtedly in a prime location. As soon as Sanzenin Arashi arrived, he saw a huge LED screen on the entire building, playing a music video.

 Arise's music video.

 Three beautiful girls danced gracefully on the platform, attracting passersby to stop and watch from time to time.

 Looking at the music video, Izumo Yoru, speaking as a professional manager, said, "There are so many flaws in the filming. I really don't know who this school used to make idols. Are they kidding me?"

 Professional agents believe that only novice idols like School Idol can operate like this; going to the mainstream idol industry would only lead to their demise.

 Sanzenin Arashi smiled and gestured for Nishikawa to start making a phone call.

 The group then entered the building and met a middle-aged man in a suit and tie in the UTX college council room.

 ……

 Naniwa Shin.

 The chairman of UTX and one of the founders of SchoolIdol, he personally helped ARise reach this level, and he had previously received a contact from the Nishikawa family, so he was in a period of rapid career development.

 He sat in his office, putting all his energy into it, treating today's negotiations like a battle.

 Sanzenin Arashi read the person's information that morning and prepared to negotiate with him personally.

 To put it simply, his main goal was to leverage ARISE's popularity to quickly promote the two cute girls under his wing.

 Upon entering the council room on the tenth floor, Sanzenin Arashi saw the somewhat overweight chairman.

 "Mr. Nishikawa, it's a pleasure to meet you." Nanba Shin stood up and greeted Nishikawa.

 His gaze lingered on Sanzenin Arashi for a moment, then quickly shifted to the back of his head. When he saw Izumo Yoru, his eyes widened in surprise.

 "I never expected to see Ms. Izumo here. I remember that the artists under her tutelage are currently undergoing intensive training in the United States. I am really looking forward to her new work."

 Sanzenin Arashi remained silent, staring at Nanba Shin with an expression that showed no sign of calm or anger. Izumo Yoru waved his hand upon hearing this, "Mr. Nanba, right? Please forgive my bluntness, but it was at the request of Mr. Aoyama, otherwise I would not have come to this place."

 This sentence perfectly showcased his aura as a top agent, making Nanba feel inferior.

 At that moment, Nishikawa also coughed.

 How dare you ignore the young master of Sanzenin? Nanba, you're courting death!

 He turned around respectfully, beckoned, and said, "Teacher Aoyama, please sit down..."

 Sanzenin Arashi waved his hand and sat down on the sofa. "Then, Mr. Namba, can we begin our discussion? Time is limited."

 After seeing the signal from Sanzenin Arashi, Nishikawa and Izumo Yoru both sat down on the sofa.

 It was only then that Shin Nanba realized that the young man he had ignored was the core of this negotiation.

 His palms were slightly sweaty; this variation of the intimidation tactic was played brilliantly.

 He couldn't help but think more highly of this person and became completely serious.

 "And who is this?" Nanba Shin asked, not daring to be negligent.

 Hayato Nishikawa waved his hand, "This is Mr. Arashi Aoyama, the president of Nico Nico Company."

 Shin Nanba widened his eyes. "This is the administrator of Nico Nico Douga, and the author of Sword Art Online, that Aoyama-sensei?"

 Sanzenin Arashi nodded.

 "I'm so sorry!" Nanba Shin bowed deeply on the spot. "I'm truly grateful to have troubled you, Professor Aoyama, to come and discuss this matter. I am deeply humbled."

 Anyone can carry someone in a sedan chair.

 Nanba Shin observed Sanzenin Arashi's reaction.

 On the other hand, Izumo Yoru watched the scene with great interest. His professional agent instincts kicked in, and he couldn't help but want to see what kind of ability this boss had to do something like this at his age.

 Sanzenin Arashi spoke.

 He said, "This matter is very simple. I wonder when Qi Luoyi will arrive? I have no intention of discussing this matter if the person in question is not present, because we cannot arbitrarily decide the course of someone else's life."

 ..

263. Are you satisfied with this contract?

 Nanba Shin opened his mouth.

 "I've already contacted Kira about this, but she won't be able to come until this afternoon. She's currently at the dance school for training," Nanba Shin gave an ambiguous answer.

 Sanzenin Arashi checked the time; it was already 11:30 a.m.

 ……

 Kira Tsubasa is a cute and energetic girl.

 Sanzenin Arashi had already learned about this person from certain documents.

 She is very petite, standing at just over 1.5 meters tall. She has a slender waist, is lightweight, and dances with agile and impactful movements. She is the captain of ARise.

 Equivalent to Honoka Kousaka in μ's.

 In her first LoveLive performance, she won the championship with Arise, only to be defeated by μs for the second time.

 He has a tuft of short hair on his forehead, and he is decisive in his thinking and speaks incisively.

 ……

 "I remember Mr. Namba used Nico Nico Douga for a huge promotional campaign, right?" Sanzenin Arashi suddenly said, "And it was right when the video section was first established, using a wave of online trolls to manually pin it to the top?"

 "This is normal business operation. Don't you think Niconico is well-suited for this kind of work, Mr. Aoyama? As the president of Niconico, would you be willing to cooperate with our academy?"

 Nanba Shin seized the opportunity to reveal his purpose, "Rise is still missing the final push, and Nico Nico needs some popularity. It's a win-win situation for us, right?"

 Sanzenin Arashi frowned.

 He looked at Shin Nanba and said, "NICONICO is a personal fan fiction website and will not do any promotion for anyone, except for fan fiction events, of course."

 Nanba Shin smiled.

 He also looked at Sanzenin Arashi, "So, as long as the event content is categorized as doujinshi, Mr. Aoyama will be happy to promote our school's ARise, right?"

 ARise is, after all, the school's official idol, and the chairman of the board is sparing no effort in promoting them.

 “If a cute girl dresses up and dances, as long as it’s cosplay, I’m sure Mr. Aoyama wouldn’t dislike it, right?” Nanba Shin explained the benefits of this, “Besides, there has never been an idol group in the world of anime and manga before. Doesn’t Mr. Aoyama think that as long as ARise appears, they can take the lead in one fell swoop?”

 Sanzenin Arashi also believes that ARise's appearance could definitely elevate the fan fiction of a work to a new level.

 After all, those three beautiful girls are top-notch cosplayers as long as they put on their cosplay outfits.

 Their stage performance skills allow them to perfectly imitate the characters' personalities and their attributes as singers, making them very popular in the fan fiction community.

 “What you say makes a lot of sense, but I refuse.” Sanzenin Arashi leaned back in his chair. “This is related to the contract we’re going to discuss later, so let’s wait until Miss Kira arrives before we talk about it.”

 Nanba Shin glared at him, about to speak.

 At this moment, Izumo Yoru said, "School idols may be popular among students, but for most young people, this kind of group is outdated and does not conform to fashion concepts. Of course, we have no reason to allocate resources to them. However, we will also evaluate Mr. Namba's proposal. Now, Mr. Namba, please take a look at this contract."

 Izumo Yoru placed the file bag in her hand on the table and then pushed it over.

 As a top-notch professional agent and planner, he could easily attract countless high school idols to work for him.

 If it weren't for Sanzenin Arashi's request, he wouldn't have bothered doing this at all.

 Nanba Shin carefully picked up the file bag, pulled out an A4 sheet of paper, and began to read. Suddenly, his expression turned somewhat strange.

 "Are you trying to make me sell my own things?" Nanba Shin couldn't help but raise his voice. "How could such an unfair contract be accepted!"

 ……

 How discerning is Izumo Yoru's eye? The idols under his wing can even perform at the Kohaku Uta Gassen (Red and White Song Battle).

 The contract he designed was naturally a product of maximizing the interests of Sanzenin Arashi.

 After signing the contract, ARise officially joined Nico Nico's idol department. Before they graduated from UTX Academy, UTX Academy had the right to promote them, but ARise had to obtain Nico Nico's permission every time they carried out a school promotional activity.

 In contrast, NICONICO Co., Ltd. will allocate resources to ARise, including granting it the right to pass the preliminary rounds of LoveLive! without having to go through the preliminary rounds, and the right to freely choose its opponent in the finals.

 Finally, and most importantly, after graduating, ARise completely severed ties with UTX Academy, and all her property rights belong to NICONICO Co., Ltd.

 After signing this contract, ARise will basically have no connection with UTX, but at the same time it will not harm UTX's interests. They can still use ARise for college promotion.

 and.

 With Arashi Sanzenin's promotion, ARise will experience an explosive rise in popularity and may even have the opportunity to become a top idol.

 When ARISE becomes a top idol, their promotional effect on the academy will undoubtedly be several times greater than it is now.

 It all depends on whether Shin Nanba is willing to give it up.

 Shin Namba could have transferred ARise to an industry company at a reasonable price when they graduated.

 This is what is known as "transfer".

 Sanzenin Arashi is cutting off his escape route.

 ……

 "This... please allow me to think it over." Just as Nanba was speaking, there was a knock on the office door.

 Nishikawa stood up and opened the door, and a lovely girl walked in.

 Her face and features are very delicate, and her temperament is similar to that of Honoka Kousaka.

 Qiluo Wings.

 This girl, who was both cute and spirited, walked into the office, greeted the chairman, and stood beside him.

 Sanzenin Arashi noticed a hint of nervousness in her.

 However, this tension gradually transformed into motivation, causing Qi Luoyi's eyes to light up.

 ……

 After taking off her down jacket, her slender waist and short skirt earned a thumbs-up from Sanzenin Arashi. Kira Tsubasa wore white stockings and white leather boots, an outfit reminiscent of a mysterious creature like a queen.

 "What do you think, Mr. Nanba? Our contract is a win-win situation. UTX Academy can undoubtedly make a lot of profit from it."

 After Kira Tsubasa arrived, Sanzenin Arashi began to pressure Sanzenin Arashi to resign.

 At this moment, his sharp tongue revealed its true colors.

 ..

264. It must be alive!!!

 Nanba Shin felt a little uneasy.

 Allocating resources to promote ARise? They're all part of Nico Nico Douga now, isn't it only natural for you to allocate resources to them? And after graduation, ARise severed ties with the school. This is practically taking ARise away and then cultivating them—a blatant case of getting something for nothing!

 "How about we hear what Miss Kira herself thinks?" Sanzenin Arashi suddenly said.

 “This…” Nanba Shin hesitated.

 Just kidding... ARise has absolutely no connection with the school after graduation, and the fact that they are being trained now is something they desperately want. Nanba cannot allow this to happen.

 "It depends on whether you can let it go or not." Sanzenin Arashi shrugged. Actually, Namba Shin could easily train another group of School Idols. That's right, take advantage of Sanzenin Arashi's subsequent promotion of ARise to train another group of people.

 It definitely won't be much worse than the current ARise.

 But human greed is insatiable, and Nanba Shin certainly wouldn't think that way.

 He wanted more benefits.

 Sanzenin Arashi looked directly at Kira Tsubasa. This lovely young lady hadn't uttered a word since entering the room. In a society that values ​​human rights, one's own words are the most important.

 Even with his sharp tongue and iron teeth, Nanba Shinichi could not overcome his own will.

 Kira's will will be protected by Sanzenin Arashi.

 "May I ask what the details of the matter are?" Kira asked cautiously. "I have absolutely no idea what the chairman is talking about."

 Sanzenin Arashi stood up, walked to Namba Shin's side, picked up the contract document, and handed it to Kira Tsubasa. "I am Aoyama Arashi, the president of NICONICO. This is the contract. Miss Kira will understand after reading it."

 Kira Tsubasa was about to reach out to take it, but after hearing Sanzenin Arashi's self-introduction, her eyes widened immediately, "Ao, Aoyama-sensei?"

 “Yes.” Sanzenin Arashi nodded.

 As a result, Kira Tsubasa... the girl's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "Please give me your autograph!!"

 "I'm a huge fan of Bakemonogatari!!"

 "When will Aoyama-sensei hold a book signing event for Bakemonogatari? I'll definitely go!"
