I was in the cafeteria, I had a student from the upper years seating across me. I had planned a small deal, it was going to be a give and take.

"I will make this quick. I need the midterm tests." I stated with a serious look.

"Sure..." He began with a low tone before he crossed his arms. "30,000 points, I want it here right now. I will send you the tests." He replied.

"20,000 points." I counter offered but he didn't budge.

"30,000..." He slurred with a cocky grin.

It was at this moment that at I was happy to have met him, having influence by my side would surely help me out so much. I decided to wait.

"20,000 points." I repeated the offer.

"30,000, just take the offer or it's over." He replied with a warning.

Instead of agreeing to his demands, I decided to put more oil on the fire.

"10,000." I dropped the price drastically, much to his dismay as I could see his expression change.

"Are you an idiot? No way I'm giving it to you at just
10,000 points. Do you know how much risk I'm taking?"  He whisper yelled.

"Senpai I have many other contacts in the third
year and I won't have any problem asking them for
the same." I responded as I laid my chin on my hand.

He just looked at me and started to smile, caution and worry evident on his face. This was the reason as to why I had approached him, he was desperate for points.

"Don't joke with me, you've just started your year and you are acting like you know people from my
year." He said in a strong tone, with visible anger on his face.

"Hahh..." I sighed before taking out my phone, it was at this point where he would be most effective.

I moved to the contacts screen before displaying the contact I had tapped on. When he saw the contact he was shocked, he quickly took the phone from me; more like snatched it and checked the ID.

His eyes widened and then he turned to me, he had just confirmed that the contact indeed belonged to the school council president.

It was little selfish of me for using Horikita Senpai's
number for my personal gain but he had investigated me so this should be fair. He knew about my marks in the entrance exam, if he did try and investigate me further then a lot of problems might arise.

"How do you have this?" Snapping me out of my thoughts, the boy asked me about the number with a shocked expression.

"Does it really matter now?" I began my reply as I looked over at my phone still in his hand. "What matters now is that are you taking my offer, or are you not?" I continued still eyeing my phone.

He looked down and gulped, visibly nervous about the turn of events. This was all going in my favour, it was something he didn't expect.

"Atleast 15,000." He spoke up, albeit in an almost inaudible tone. "15,000, please." He asked again with a hopeful look.

"Hahh..." I sighed as I extended my hand. "Fine but you have to add the quiz questions too." I replied.

"You won't need them but still you can have them." He said as he looked at my hand. "Sorry for that." He handed me back my phone.

After that, we parted ways. I had given him my contact details and whilst I waited outside; I had to wait for him to send them over. It took a couple of minutes of waiting but eventually they arrived, I opened the message and began reading through it to find a small attachment on the bottom.
