However, the two men lacked the technical ability to combine the camera with the remote control car, so after repeated attempts, they finally had no choice but to ask him for help.
Hideo Sotomura himself didn't want to get involved in this mess at first. One of the important reasons was that if he tried to take a secret photo through the air outlet filter of the ventilation duct, to be honest, the area that could be photographed was very small and it was not very clear.
Besides, it is absolutely impossible to move the remote control car around when shooting in the pipe, because it will make noise and can be easily noticed.
In other words, if there happens to be no girl using the locker under where the remote-controlled car is parked, it would be a waste of time.
Extremely high risk, extremely low return, no matter how Hideo Somura thought about it, this was a deal that would result in a huge loss.
What really made him agree to help modify the remote control car... was 10,000 personal points.
That's right, just to secretly take pictures in the women's locker room, Ike and Yamauchi jointly contributed 10,000 personal points, and they also covered all the other material costs.
This was a considerable fortune, and because of the expenses on his personal hobbies, Hideo Sotomura's personal points had actually never been abundant, so for the sake of the points he finally agreed to the two's request.
In order to distance himself from the matter, Hideo Sotomura hardly spoke in the makeshift discussion group, and planned to quit the discussion group after the matter was over to avoid being implicated.
But it's still a step too late.
Ike and Yamauchi were caught on the day of the crime, and were quickly fired after the crime was exposed.
Hideo Sotomura was also in a state of panic because of this.
However, just yesterday afternoon, an anonymous email made his ominous premonition come true.
Since the content directly pointed out that he was the person involved in the voyeurism incident, in order to avoid taking the risk, Hideo Somura finally chose to go to the appointment.
The meeting place is not far away, it is on the rooftop of the special teaching building.
When Hideo Sotomura arrived, the wind was howling on the rooftop and someone was already waiting there.
"Oh, you're finally here. I was really worried that you would be too scared to keep the date."
The Tyrant of Class D sat on the rooftop facing the rooftop door with one leg bent like a final boss, and with a wicked smile, he hooked his finger at the otaku whose eyes were trembling and he wanted to leave.
"Now that you're here, don't be in such a hurry to leave... Albert, close the door."
"YES SIR."
A deep English voice sounded behind him, and before Sotomura Hideo could react at all, he was pushed from behind.
He stumbled forward, stumbling as a thump came from behind him.
Hideo Sotomura finally stood still and looked back, and sure enough, the rooftop door was closed.
There was no way to retreat, and he could only tremble and be forced to muster up the courage to look at the tyrant of Class D in front of him.
Long Yuan seemed to be disdainful and speechless about the outsiders' fear of him, so he pointed to the camera standing in the southeast corner of the rooftop not far away and said.
"Don't be so nervous. Do you see the camera over there? If I want to do anything to you, I will choose to black out the camera first, but I am not doing that now, so at least you are safe in this area of the rooftop."
"Uh, so what exactly do you want to do with me..."
Just when Sotomura Hideo felt a little relieved, Ryuen raised a hand to stop him from continuing.
"Sotomura...right? Let me ask you a question first. Why do you think the bastard with sunglasses only killed those two idiots and didn't kill you as well, even though you were clearly involved in the peeping incident?"
"This one……"
Perhaps it was because people could unleash their powerful potential in times of crisis, and Sotomura actually quickly understood who Ryuen was referring to as the "sunglasses bastard", but he didn't know how to answer this question.
"You know, there's only one answer."
Ryuuen raised his right index finger with an evil smile.
"Because if you drop out too, the huge loss of class points will cause your class to drop to Class D, and that bastard with sunglasses definitely doesn't want to lose to me, so his plan from the beginning was to expel you in a special exam that would not deduct class points even if you drop out."
"Eh?"
Hideo Sotomura was stunned. He could not understand what the other party was saying at all.
Ryuen continued, "I'll tell you straight away. The student council officials have the authority to know in advance what special exams will be held. There will soon be special exams like voting out useless students. If someone drops out, class points will not be deducted."
"That means that the guy with sunglasses had planned to have you expelled from school in the vote from the very beginning, and he is keeping you here just to let you live a little longer. After all, he must know something that even I know. He is the vice president of the student union."
Ryuuen suddenly paused, his eyes and smile gradually turning into contempt.
"Or do you think that guy is really so kind as to let you go?"
[Of course, all of the above are lies. ]
Long Yuan sneered in his heart.
Yesterday, he used the authority of the student union at Nanyun's place to investigate the entire cause and effect of the peeping incident, including all the details.
If he were in Wu Yi's shoes at the time, he would not have chosen to report Sotomura Hideo as well.
Because it makes no sense, what the latter did was not enough to justify his expulsion.
I just collected money to help my classmate modify a remote control car. What crime can that be considered?
At worst, you'll be accused of knowing the truth and not reporting it, and you might even have some class points deducted, and that's it.
Instead of completely breaking up, it is better to keep the relationship hanging like this, which will be more deterrent.
"But how do you prove that there will be the special exam you mentioned..."
Hideo Sotomura didn't know where he got the courage from, but he said something that even he couldn't believe.
"how to prove?"
Ryuuen laughed evilly.
"That's right. Words are not enough to prove this. So let's do this. I will tell you the content of the next special exam. Your homeroom teacher should tell you the same news within this week at the latest. You can proofread it then."
"But I dare say that you will believe everything I say in the end, and only I can save you at that time."
"This is not a free kindness. All you have to do is follow my orders in the upcoming special exam."
"Well, there's no rush on what to do now. Contact me once you've figured it out."
￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥
I sent the graphics card in for repair, luckily it's within the warranty period... I hope it goes well.
Volume 177: Chapter Do you want to confirm it yourself?
Time returns to the present.
In the classroom, Chabashira Sae had just left the classroom after announcing the rules of the next special exam when Yukinoshita Haruno called out to Wu Yi who was also about to get up and leave.
"Please wait a moment, Wu Yi, I want to have a brief combat meeting. If possible, can you come along?"
"Um……"
Wu Yi stopped and turned to look at her for a moment, then shrugged after a moment.
"Ok."
The main reason was that he really didn't have anything urgent to do, he just wanted to take advantage of the break from get out of class to go out for a walk.
Ten minutes was enough time for me to stagger downstairs and buy a drink from the vending machine.
But since the other party has invited him, he might as well stay.
Seeing that Wu Yi did not refuse, Yukinoshita Haruno was somewhat relieved.
Ever since she entered this school, she has been able to feel more and more clearly what it means to be meritocracy.
It is not only learning ability and physical ability that can be called strength, but all abilities can be called strength.
In terms of affinity, Yukinoshita Haruno is very clear that she is far inferior to Kushida Kikyo.
In terms of centripetal force, she is not as outstanding as Karuizawa Megumi.
Not to mention physical ability, Yukinoshita Haruno's physical fitness can indeed be considered quite good among ordinary female high school students, but in this school, she is just at the upper level at best.
As for studying, she is top-notch, but she is not the only one.
So far, Yukinoshita Haruno has always felt that she is in a state of "being good at everything, but not the best at anything". The reason why she can command Class C is purely because other capable people don't have this idea.
Under such circumstances, being able to get Wu Yi's support would undoubtedly provide great convenience for her plan to hold a combat meeting.
As expected, when Wu Yi and Yukinoshita Haruno came to the podium together, the classroom quickly became quiet.
Influential students in the class, such as Hirata Yosuke and Shinohara Satsuki, stood up and moved towards the podium, apparently intending to have a deep discussion about the next special exam.
Yukinoshita Haruno took a deep breath and sorted out her thoughts.
"Let me ask you a question here. What do you think of this special exam?"
"How do you view it... Just like what Chabashira-sensei said, right?"
Hirata gave an immediate answer based on his habitual thinking.
"In theory, this should be a relatively difficult exam. Although the failing standards for each subject are relatively low, if you want to beat other classes, the required total score will be relatively high. In addition, the questions are set by other classes, so it is bold to estimate that the difficulty may be twice as high as that of a normal written exam."
"And don't forget, this exam compares the total scores. The other classes have forty people, but our class only has thirty-eight." Horikita Suzune said coldly.
"really……"
This is the most crucial issue. Yukinoshita Haruno couldn't help but have a headache when she thought of this.
Although Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki can basically be regarded as the students with the lowest academic ability in the class, after all, a mosquito leg is still meat, and in this kind of exam total score competition where it is either you or I, losing two places at once is undoubtedly a huge loss.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention this question just now."
A familiar voice came from the classroom door. It turned out to be Chabashira Sae who had just left less than half a minute ago.
She came back and appeared at the classroom door with one hand on her waist.
"Because this exam was not decided at the last minute, the school decided to balance the class strength by referring to the scores of the person who ranked one place higher than them in the previous official exam to make up for the scores of Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki in this special exam."
“R-Really?!”
What the female teacher said was a bit confusing. To put it simply, for example, the bottom three students in Class C used to be Haruki Yamauchi, Kanji Ike, and Ken Sudo. Now the first two have been taken away, resulting in Class C being at a congenital disadvantage in the class total score competition. What should they do?
The solution is to copy Sudo Ken's total score in the special exam to the vacancies of Ike and Yamauchi, which is equivalent to losing Ike and Yamauchi in the class, but having two more Sudos.
Well, to some extent, it has turned a small disadvantage into an advantage.
"In this way, the gap in class size will be evened out. What remains is to test each class's learning ability and ability to set questions."
"That's right!"
The unexpected good news lifted everyone's spirits and supported them to continue their positive... and normal discussion.
At this moment, the cell phone in Wu Yi's pocket suddenly vibrated twice.
He took it out and saw that it was a text message from Arisu Sakayanagi.
[Are you free this afternoon? See you in Paret.]
Paret...Isn't that a new cafe that opened this semester near the shopping mall? It is said that it is very popular among female students because of its decoration style.
Wu Yi thought for a moment and sent a message back.
[Okay, but no coffee.]
……
It was 3:15 in the afternoon. When Wu Yi arrived near the shopping mall, there were not many students strolling around the surrounding pedestrian streets.
In fact, he shouldn't have been able to leave at this moment. Due to the tight schedule in the morning, they only had a rough discussion about the special exam strategy meeting.
According to Yukinoshita Haruno's plan, she was going to sit down and discuss it slowly with everyone after school in the afternoon, but Wu Yi slipped out on the pretext that "I had an appointment with someone in advance, so just tell me the result."
In the afternoon sun, the large floor-to-ceiling windows on the street side of the cafe were polished to a crystal clear state.
The entire front of the store is covered with a vine rack made of dark brown rectangular wooden strips with a hint of red, and it is covered with white and green honeysuckle. As you get closer, you can smell the fresh and elegant fragrance of the flowers.
Wu Yi pushed the door open and walked in. Amid the clear and melodious sound of wind chimes, a white-haired girl sitting in a booth on the inside of the store looked up at her in sync.
"…I thought it would take at least fifteen minutes."
"Don't mention it. It could have taken more than fifty minutes, but I was too lazy to mess around, so I just came over."
As soon as Wu Yi walked in, he noticed two cups of hot drinks on the table that had obviously just been served.
A glass of milk and a cup of coffee.
"Didn't I tell you not to order coffee..."
"This is for you."
"Well said. Now the question is, why are the patterns on my coffee burnt?"
