Chapter 138: Junior, Want Some Exam Papers?

Yuto now had three girlfriends: Sakura Airi, Karuizawa Kei, and Kushida Kikyo.

Each relationship gave him a completely different experience.

When Yuto was with Kei, they felt most like a young couple in love-shy and sweet.

His relationship with Airi resembled that of a married couple, warm and considerate.

When he was with Kikyo, their relationship was more passionate and impulsive.

His three girlfriends allowed him to experience three entirely different kinds of affection.

"Kei, I have something to handle. You should return to the classroom first," Yuto said softly.

"Mm."

Kei nodded, squeezed his hand tightly, and only then reluctantly left him to return to class alone.

After she departed, Yuto remained inside the cafeteria, rubbing his fingertips thoughtfully.

Since he intended to counterattack Nagumo, he took out his phone and called the stone-faced upperclassman.

"Good afternoon, senpai," Yuto greeted cheerfully.

"Good afternoon. Do you need something?" Manabu asked steadily.

"There's something I'd like your help with. Is it convenient for you to speak right now?"

Manabu glanced at Nagumo, who was sitting in the vice president's seat. He stood and voluntarily left the student council office.

"It's convenient now. Tell me what you need."

"It concerns the upcoming midterm."

"I wanted to ask whether it's legal for students to purchase previous midterm papers from upperclassmen, or for upperclassmen to privately sell those papers to other students."

A sharp light flashed through Manabu's eyes.

"It isn't legal, but the school does not prohibit it particularly strictly."

"Since you're asking this question, I assume you've already learned one of the school's patterns."

"The midterm papers have remained unchanged for several years. Are you planning to purchase them from an upperclassman?"

"I have no such intention. I merely wanted to confirm whether privately trading exam papers was permitted," Yuto answered.

"Is that so?"

Manabu did not completely believe him.

He knew that Class D had zero class points and that many of its students had poor academic results. They were unlikely to perform well enough on the midterm to earn a significant number of points.

To maximize Class D's gains, Manabu believed Yuto might genuinely purchase the old papers for his classmates.

Otherwise, why would he suddenly ask whether private exam-paper transactions were legal?

Unless someone had deliberately offered to sell him papers, causing Yuto to suspect that he was being deceived.

But who would do something so underhanded?

"That was everything I wanted to ask. Thank you for answering, senpai," Yuto said.

"Mm. However, Shimizu, I should tell you some bad news."

"What bad news?" Yuto asked in surprise.

"Ryuen Kakeru of Class C received forgiveness from the principal and chairman yesterday."
