In fact, I can add unlimited points

Seeing the growing sense of frustration emanating from Horikita Suzune, Aragaki Shun tossed over the documents he was too lazy to deal with, and looked at the long-haired black-haired girl's withdrawn appearance with some amazement.

"Tsk tsk~ Compared to your usual aloof and cold demeanor, you are indeed much cuter now that you are so timid. Remember that humility is a virtue, and don't always have that grumpy face."

"The student council is a serious occasion. I hope this vice president can be more serious and not act like a slacker."

Feeling somewhat embarrassed and annoyed by Aragaki Shun's scrutiny, Horikita Suzune gripped the pen tightly, her fox-like eyes narrowing, and her voice turning cold again.

"But you just signed an unequal agreement with the thugs from Class C."

"Snap!"

The pen, unable to withstand the force, naturally snapped in two. Horikita Suzune's face turned a mixture of red and blue, but she ultimately lowered her head, practicing the principle that silence is golden.

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

To avoid further humiliation, the girl decided to simply pretend the guy in front of her didn't exist, so he wouldn't continue to harass her.

However, this childish resistance was naturally meaningless to Shun Aragaki.

With just one sentence, he forced Horikita Suzune to turn her attention to him—

"Don't you want to know what it means that Chairman Horikita sent you here without saying a word?"

The next moment, the boy could clearly sense that the breathing of the person next to him had become much heavier.

With a smile, Shun Aragaki stretched and pointed to the water dispenser in the distance. "I'm a little thirsty. Does anyone know if they could pour me a glass of water?"

Horikita Suzune: "..."

The girl with long, straight black hair didn't say anything. She just stood up silently, poured the water as instructed, and then sat quietly opposite the other person, watching them leisurely take a sip.

Closing her eyes and recalling memories of being bossed around by the person in front of her, Horikita Suzune forced a stiff smile.

"Excuse me, Aragaki-san, what exactly does my brother mean?"

"Hmm~ Although it's a bit unnatural, you did follow my previous requirements, so I'll consider you to have passed."

After further provoking the girl's nerves, and seeing her eyes almost bloodshot, Aragaki Shun casually said, "Failure is not terrible; what is terrible is not being able to learn from failure and falling into the same trap again and again."

"You looked down on Long Yuanxiang's methods, but you suffered a great loss at his hands. If you fight him again in the future, can you guarantee that you won't repeat the same mistake?"

"Or, if we could turn back time to before the deliberations, and start over with the memory of defeat, could you come up with a better strategy to counter his offensive and turn the tide?"

My brother wants me to learn how to deal with Ryuen from Aragaki Shun?

Realizing this, Horikita Suzune subconsciously clenched her fists, racking her brains to mentally review the ins and outs of the conflict with Class C.

After thinking for a long time, the girl could only shake her head in dejection.

"Class C prepared a lot for this operation and provided ample evidence. Class D, in its haste, simply cannot prove that Ike Kanji was wronged."

To put it jokingly, even among his classmates in Class D, few believed that Ike Kanji was innocent.

On the first day of school, the student openly declared in his self-introduction, "I like girls, I hate handsome guys, I'm always recruiting girlfriends, and I look forward to playing with cute girls or beauties."

Most of the girls in Class D thought he was mentally ill, but he had no self-awareness whatsoever. He would openly chat with his like-minded friend Haruki Yamauchi about lewd topics like breasts in the classroom every day. He would also secretly ogle the girls' bodies with disgusting eyes and comment on who was pretty, who had the best body, and who was more suitable to be a girlfriend.

The girls in the class were all greatly troubled by this.

In this situation, when Kanji Ike was accused by Minori Kinoshita from Class C, the first reaction of the students in Class D was not to question him, but to blame him for implicating the class... This shows how deep the impression Kanji Ike left on the public.

Even his classmates believed that he was indeed capable of doing such a thing!

It's only natural that Long Yuanxiang would deliberately set a trap for him.

“I once thought of luring Minori Kinoshita out, using a pre-prepared surveillance camera to successfully deceive her, and then forcing her to drop the charges against Kanji Ike.”

"Or you could use a voice recorder to induce her to reveal the cause and effect of the conflict when she gets carried away."

"But the first step of the plan went wrong. As soon as that person left the classroom, she hid in the dormitory. We couldn't find an opportunity to lure her out to act alone."

At this point, Horikita Suzune glanced at Aragaki Shun.

In an effort to lure Kinoshita out, Class D specifically asked Hirata Yosuke to make the invitation, but the other party remained unmoved.

But if the person in front of you were this guy, even if he were a delinquent girl from Class C, he would definitely agree to meet him, right?

Of course, if Aragaki Shun were in Class D, they wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

If it were him, he would definitely have a better solution.

"Don't look at me like that. My method won't work for Class D. Oh no, it will work for Rokusuke Koenji, but you can't get him to do anything."

Shun Aragaki twitched the corner of his mouth, offering no comment on the two methods Suzune Horikita had come up with, and simply continued speaking to himself:

“Ryuen used 500,000 personal points to order Kinoshita around, while I can offer her ten times that amount in cash and have her voluntarily drop out of school.”

"By the way, it would be fun if we could provide evidence of her conspiracy with Long Yuan before she voluntarily dropped out of school, and then pin the reason for her dropping out on Long Yuan."

Upon hearing this suggestion, Horikita Suzune's face froze.

She was certain that Class C would not be able to withstand this offensive, simply because Class D was in a similar situation. If Shun Aragaki were to offer real money, she guaranteed that a bunch of hopeless people would be willing to take the money and leave Advanced Education.

That's five million yen, which is a considerable sum, not just for a high school student, but even for an adult.

Since there's no hope of graduating from Class A anyway, and it's hard to concentrate on studying here, why not go out and change the school environment?

"So if it were me, Long Yuan wouldn't dare to use such methods at all."

If the target really is Shun Aragaki, Kinoshita will definitely switch sides on the spot and sell the Ryuen project for greater profits.

A mere 500,000 points? Who are they looking down on?

“This is the biggest problem with Class D,” Shun Aragaki said, resting his chin on his hand as he questioned Suzune Horikita across from him, “Why do you think Ryuen was able to use such methods against Class D and still succeed?”

The girl with long, straight black hair looked unpleasant, but she still pinched her nose and replied, "It's because of Chi Kuanzhi. Only he is so easily led into this obvious trap."

“That’s true,” Shun Aragaki nodded. “Kanji Ike is indeed a weakness of Class D, but Class D has quite a few weaknesses like this.”

“A solid foundation needs to be built up in daily life. Some things should not be dealt with after they happen, but should be prevented from the beginning.”

"The trap set up by Ryuen is actually not very sophisticated. It has been going on for too long. If you are able to keep an eye on Ike Kanji's movements, you will easily discover the connection between him and Kinoshita Minori."

But it's clear that Horikita Suzune didn't care about her classmates' daily activities, and no one in the class would proactively tell her these things.

Therefore, she could only passively defend against Class C's offensive after the incident had already occurred.

"Not only you, but Karuizawa Kei made the same mistake."

“Since she has already taken control of the situation in Class D, she should try to gather information on everyone in the class. If she can’t reform and win over dissenting voices like Chi Kuanzhi, she should simply exclude him. How can she let him drag the whole class down?”

Should we exclude it directly?

Horikita Suzune was startled by this cold statement.

Judging from Aragaki Shun's usual behavior, you would never guess that he would do something like expelling a classmate from school.

Despite presenting a very responsible image to the public, he practically single-handedly carries the entire class forward.

But thinking about it, it doesn't seem to be a problem, after all, the overall quality of the students in Class D is completely different from that of Class A.

"In that case, shouldn't we have never saved him in the first place?"

In fact, Horikita Suzune had also considered giving up on Ike Kanji and letting him drop out of school.

Since joining the student council, the girl no longer aspires to lead Class D forward, but instead wants to accumulate 20 million personal points on her own and go solo to Class A.

However, apart from special exams, most ordinary students obtain personal points through class evaluation scores.

Therefore, she could not allow other classes to take D class's evaluation score.

If given the chance, she would prefer to take away a portion of the class's evaluation points through a deal with her classmates.

The 200 points that Long Yuanxiang took are equivalent to 80 personal points per month. If they were all given to one person, it would be enough for her to transfer to Class A on her own.

"Normally, we should look at whether the value is worthwhile."

"If he can correct his mistakes and grow into an important force in the class after this experience, then it's okay to help him."

"But if they remain unrepentant and continue to be a weak point in the class, then taking this opportunity to expel them is also an option."

At this point, Shun Aragaki looked at the pensive girl with long, straight black hair and asked, "Do you think that after this incident, Kanji Ike will still be the obvious weakness of Class D?"

Horikita Suzune did not respond.

She wanted to say no, but she also knew that human nature wasn't so easily changed.

However, this would render the reconciliation between Class D and Class C, which aimed to retain some of their individual points, completely meaningless.

However, given the circumstances at the time, she couldn't abandon Ike Kanji even if she wanted to.

After all, Hirata Yosuke and Kushida Kikyo had been persuading everyone in the class, so they had quite a lot of influence in Class D.

"In short, think about the cause, process, and result of this matter yourself. What you can learn depends on your perspective."

"Let me remind you, Class A won't encounter this kind of difficulty, because I won't allow such a foolish flaw to exist, not now, and not in the future."

Looking calmly at the aloof student council president's younger sister, Shun Aragaki's voice became extremely indifferent.

"Let me be frank, before President Horikita graduates, he should prepare 20 million yen for your transfer."

"But I'm not Hirata. I've never been able to tolerate weaknesses like those of Kanji Ike. The atmosphere in Class A is good right now, and we don't need another destabilizing factor."

"So if I don't agree to you joining Class A, he will take you away from Advanced Education directly."

After all, Horikita Manabu knew his sister's personality well.

If Shun Aragaki doesn't approve, even if Suzune Horikita forcibly transfers to Class A, she will only become a candidate for dropping out of the class and be discarded as cannon fodder in the special exam.

"Wait, how could my brother...?"

Horikita Suzune's eyes widened, and she was about to argue when Aragaki Shun waved his hand to interrupt her.

"As an older brother, it's normal to offer some help to my younger sister when she's going through a tough time."

"If you can't accept it, then just leave school with him."

In Shun Aragaki's opinion, the relationship between the brother and sister is really awkward.

Can't we just speak our minds?

They actually had to make him, an outsider, act as the middleman.

However, considering Horikita Manabu's full support for him taking over as student council president, it's alright to occasionally carry out a "discipline" mission.

Although Horikita Suzune has personality issues, she still has overall strength, and at least she can handle being a tool or assistant without any problems.

Given the current management system of Class A, she can't get into the decision-making level anyway. As an executor, she just needs to be obedient and do her job.

In that case, he would naturally accept the chairman's kind offer.

172. Surrounded by all the girls in the class; End of the first semester

After the battle between Class C and Class D came to an end, the first grade returned to peace.

Because final exams were approaching, no one wanted to stir up any more conflict, and everyone focused their energy on intense review and preparation.

However, for those top students who were confident of success, what they looked forward to even more than the insignificant passing grade was the summer trip that the school had promised to everyone after the exams.

The idea of ​​taking a luxury cruise to a southern island is so dreamlike that just thinking about it can inspire boundless enthusiasm.

Those like Shun Aragaki who understood the truth about the trip didn't spoil everyone's fun by announcing the exam in advance.

He simply led Ichinose to quietly organize past exam materials in the student council, and after gaining a clear understanding of the situation, he secretly instructed Kanzaki Ryuji to strengthen the training of the physically weaker students in the class.

Then, unsurprisingly, many people in the class suddenly found themselves in a period of unbearable suffering.

Incidentally, this included Hiyori Shiina, who had just transferred to the school.

The literary girl's academic ability and intelligence are among the best in the entire first grade, but her physical fitness is really not impressive.

Seeing Hiyori looking like she was half dead after running one lap, Shun Aragaki couldn't help but laugh.

"It's rare to see Hiyori in such a disheveled state."

He usually seems to handle everything with ease, but he lost his composure on the sports field.

It can only be said that this state does fit the stereotype of a "literary girl".

"Shun-kun, you're up to no good."

Dragging her tired body, Hiyori Shiina sat down next to Shun Aragaki. She rolled her eyes at him cutely, puffed out her cheeks slightly, and looked a little unhappy.

"I never imagined that the first challenge I would encounter after arriving in Class A would be physical training."

The silver-haired girl found this very strange.

Her original class, C, consisted mostly of hot girls and hooligans who were good at fighting. While they might not be as academically gifted as other classes, their overall physical strength was definitely among the top in the four classes.
