Chapter 173 - Nakano Maruo

Chairman's Office.

The newly appointed Chairman, Tsukishiro, was currently there. However, he was not in the mood to work; he was slumped over his desk, questioning the purpose of his life.

Right now, he felt his face was very hot with embarrassment; he felt he had no face left to meet people.

This morning, when he woke up, he found himself hanging at the school gate. Moreover, in a disheveled state of dress. If it weren't for the security guard who passed by and took him down, he might have been hanging there all day.

Almost the entire school already knew the fact that their new Chairman had been hung at the front gate. And the most annoying thing was, he knew exactly who the perpetrators were, but he had no proof. Because the surveillance camera was turned off by the suspects, no trace was left.

Tsukishiro gritted his teeth in fury, but didn't know where to vent his emotions.

"Damn it!"

He immediately flipped over his work desk!

*CRASH!*

A loud bang sounded as the desk hit the floor. Tsukishiro was panting, the red flush of embarrassment on his face still hadn't disappeared.

He swore!

He would give an equivalent retaliation to the perpetrators.

He took a document folder, intending to examine data on the best and worst students in all of Japan.

He planned to create chaos. Openly he wouldn't dare, of course. After all, he currently held the title of Chairman. Every action and word of his was watched by people. He must not damage his image as an educator.

However, if it was still within his scope of authority—for example, arranging transfer students to enter and become obstacles for his opponents—that was very possible.

"Hehe~" Tsukishiro grinned.

"Akasaka Ryunosuke, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, don't think this matter is over just like that. Although I can't move openly, I can play behind the scenes."

Tsukishiro took out data on students with the worst grades at the national level.

"I'll send you students whose test scores have never even reached double digits. I want to see how you handle them!"

At the same time, he would modify the content of next month's exam.

For those who don't pass: Expelled! For every expulsion, class points will be reduced by 500 points!

"I'll keep you in Class D forever!!!"

At the same time, to avoid arousing suspicion, Tsukishiro deliberately recruited some high-achieving students to other classes. The purpose was to divert attention so others couldn't find oddities in his actions.

Not long after, a large wave of transfer students arrived.

Outside school.

Nakano Family Hospital.

Maruo had just finished surgery and ended his work when he received an acceptance notification from Advanced Nurturing High School. He felt strange.

What were his five children's characters like?

He knew very well. How could they possibly enter the selection radar of a prestigious school like Advanced Nurturing High School?

Was there a shrimp behind the rock?

Without thinking long, Maruo immediately called the school, intending to decline the offer.

"Chairman Tsukishiro, regarding my five children being accepted at Advanced Nurturing High School, is this a misunderstanding?"

On the other end of the phone, Tsukishiro answered in a flat tone. "Well~ there's no misunderstanding whatsoever, Nakano Maruo-san, your children are very extraordinary figures, please have a little confidence in your own children."

Maruo felt somewhat speechless. "Although I want to believe in them... but over the years, I've hired many private tutors, yet their current test scores don't even exceed single digits. Are you sure you want to accept them?"

"Nice!" Tsukishiro clenched his fist enthusiastically, but kept his voice calm on the phone.

"Our school is currently very open to various talents. Your children happen to meet our criteria."

"Although their grades are less than ideal, wouldn't educating students like that to become successful be a bigger challenge? So, don't hesitate to send them here, Nakano-san!"

That last sentence was almost shouted. Tsukishiro clearly couldn't contain his excitement.

Seeing the school side so enthusiastic, Maruo felt something was odd, but what the school said was correct.

Advanced Nurturing High School was a renowned school. If they could graduate from there, they wouldn't encounter obstacles in finding work anywhere.

Although with his wealth, supporting his five daughters until death was very easy. However, the late Rena once said she wanted the children to have the right to choose their own dreams...

Maruo took a deep breath, his tone containing a bit of pleading.

"My children... I entrust them to Chairman Tsukishiro."

Maruo had clearly agreed.

Tsukishiro breathed a sigh of relief—finally successfully deceived this person into sending his children—but on the surface he still provided comfort.

"Don't worry, Nakano-san, your children are truly extraordinary." (Meaning extraordinarily bad grades).

"I've never encountered children as amazing as them before." (Meaning those with only single-digit scores).

"So rest assured, we at Advanced Nurturing High School will definitely prioritize your children's education!"

Tsukishiro's tone of seriousness had never been this deep before. This really made Maruo on the other end of the phone wonder if his five foolish daughters were really that amazing?

However, as a father, he still felt somewhat uneasy and asked: "Chairman Tsukishiro, I heard it's a closed boarding school that can't communicate with the outside world. My children living there, I—"

Tsukishiro immediately cut him off and gave assurance. "Don't worry, Nakano-san, you have visitation rights. You can come occasionally to visit them. Although our school doesn't allow students to leave without permission, you parents can come anytime to visit the inmates—ah, I mean, monitor them."

Tsukishiro almost slipped and called the school a prison, so he hurriedly corrected himself, though it actually wasn't far off.

Hearing that he could visit anytime, Maruo had no more reason to refuse. Finally he agreed, then informed the quintuplets at home to pack; tomorrow he would take them.

After the matter was settled, Tsukishiro closed the phone and showed a sly smile. "Well~ Kiyotaka-kun, and Ryunosuke, I want to see how you'll parry this move?"

Tsukishiro laughed heartily toward the sky from sheer happiness, then prepared to leave the office to eat.

On the road, many people pointed at him, even whispers could be heard. Teachers who were preparing to go eat together also began whispering when they saw the new Chairman.

Hoshinomiya Chie whispered in Chabashira Sae's ear, "Eew~ I heard our new Chairman yesterday was hung at the school gate, moreover completely naked."

"Tsk tsk tsk, so pitiful, don't know who did it."

Sae immediately covered the gossipy woman's mouth. "Be quiet. Don't you see the Chairman's face has already darkened? He clearly heard it. Do you not want to work at this school anymore?"

Chie immediately shut her mouth and kept a slight distance from Sae, then went to eat.

Tsukishiro secretly gritted his teeth, both hands clenched very tightly.
