In fact, I can add unlimited points

After leaving Kushida, Shun Aragaki began to stroll through the various decks of the cruise ship, carefully observing every facility inside.

Just as I reached the poolside, a voice that profoundly highlighted one's will suddenly entered my ears.

After arriving at the Advanced Education Center, he recalled that there was only one person in the entire grade who spoke in this way and in this tone.

Looking in the direction of the sound, the figure lying by the pool was indeed Rokusuke Koenji.

"In terms of beauty, you are far inferior to me."

Shun Aragaki doesn't appreciate men's beauty, and after reaching the limits of all human attributes, even though he has never invested any source energy into his charm, he is confident that his appearance is second to none.

May I ask you, beautiful lady, where do you get the audacity to say such things to me?

Seemingly sensing Aragaki Shun's speechlessness, Koenji stood up and carefully examined him for a while, finally nodding in satisfaction.

"Judging solely from appearance, even someone as beautiful as me must admit defeat."

"But beauty is not just about appearance, but also about various internal and external factors. Even if my opponent is Aragaki Boy, I think I am more beautiful."

“Then keep thinking that way,” Aragaki Shun rolled his eyes. “There’s no point in arguing about this. Just do what makes you happy.”

"I'm in a really good mood today!" Koenji opened his arms, making a gesture as if embracing the whole world. "After being at this school for so long, I finally have the chance to have a good match with Aragaki boy."

"There will never be anyone more beautiful than me in this world, and I have always believed that."

With his eyes burning as he stared intently at Aragaki Shun, Koenji changed the subject, "But ever since I met Aragaki-boy, I've actually developed a longing for other people's beauty. It's an experience that I can't help but take seriously."

Aragaki Shun: "..."

Don't you think what you're saying is a little strange?

"Let's have some fun, Aragaki boy! Let's use the upcoming special exam as our stage and show off our beauty!"

175. Failure becomes a habit; conflict on a cruise ship

As expected, Rokusuke Koenji has accepted Katsuragi's invitation and joined Class B.

Of course, they used a transfer voucher worth 200 million personal points, which was only valid for a temporary period of one month.

If he is unable to renew his subscription after a month, Koenji will still have to return to the garbage dump of Class D.

This transfer method will only be permanently effective once the 20 million yuan is fully paid up and the subscription fee is continuously renewed.

Prior to this, if there was an interruption in payment due to inability to pay, all the efforts of the transfer ticket user would be in vain, and they would need to start accumulating 20 million all over again.

Koenji Rokusuke, of course, didn't care at all.

According to his statement—

Compared to the worthless students in Class D, the group in Class B was more interesting; at least they could appreciate some of the beauty in him.

It sounds a bit nonsensical, but Shun Aragaki was able to understand it.

Simply put, as the only son of a conglomerate, Koenji was raised from a young age to be the heir and head of the family.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will undoubtedly rise to the pinnacle of the conglomerate in the future, and his every word and action will influence the development of countless people under his command.

In this situation, Koenji can lack many things, but he cannot lack the ability to make decisions and manage subordinates.

So he still quite liked the people in Class B.

As a former member of Class A, he possesses considerable overall abilities and is also adept at navigating social situations, making him an excellent tool by all accounts.

Needless to say, Koenji wants to defeat Aragaki Shun, and the members of Class B want to reclaim their positions in Class A. To some extent, their goals overlap significantly.

Given that each of them gets what they need, it's only natural that they would unite.

Shun Aragaki didn't seem too concerned about the challenge. He gave a perfunctory answer and walked away from the pool area to continue his own activities.

If he had been assigned to Class D as soon as he entered school, he certainly wouldn't have been interested in leading a group of people who were holding him back to move forward together.

It was normal for Koenji to give up at first, and it's also normal for him to become competitive now.

However, after a semester of competition, the situation in the four classes is no longer the same as when the semester started. Is it too late to challenge him now?

You can have anything in your dreams, so I suggest you go to bed early.

.........

After touring all the facilities on the cruise ship, Shun Aragaki returned to his room.

Incidentally, the school had already assigned dormitories, which were normally arranged by class, with males and females separated, and three or four people sharing a room.

However, Shun Aragaki didn't like sharing a dormitory with other men, so he simply used his personal points to rent a larger single room from the school.

Pushing open the door, the first thing you see is two suitcases. Towards the inside, Chihiro Shiraha is humming a song while tidying up her clothes and sheets.

That's right, after he moved out by himself, Chihiro also brought her luggage with her.

The two are officially boyfriend and girlfriend, and as long as no one dies, the school won't care whether they live together or not.

This was a rare luxury cruise trip, and Chihiro naturally chose to share a room with her lover in order to create more wonderful memories.

"Aragaki-kun is back?" Shiraha looked up at the person who came in, then looked down and continued with what he was doing. "Wait a moment, I'll be done packing these things soon."

"How much is left? I'll help too."

"No need, it will be quick. Please sit here for a while."

Seeing how hard the girl was working, and that there wasn't much left to tidy up, Shun Aragaki nodded and didn't try to take away Chihiro's small achievement.

Two minutes later, the girlfriend had her hands free and was about to snuggle into her lover's arms when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Shun Aragaki went over and opened the door, only to find that the visitors were Yume Kohashi and Asako Amakura, who were looking at their room with curious expressions.

"You actually moved in! Chihiro, you really don't want to leave Aragaki-san anytime soon."

Xiaoqiao Meng sighed and rubbed her forehead.

As originally planned, the three of them were supposed to share a dormitory with Ichinose, but as soon as they heard that Aragaki Shun had moved out to live alone, this roommate immediately abandoned them.

She's a friend who forgets her friends for the sake of beauty; I can't keep this best friend.

"There's no problem with that, right? After all, we're officially a couple, so it's perfectly normal for us to live together."

Shun Aragaki invited the two in, poured them each a glass of water, and then spoke without changing his expression.

"Exactly! Exactly! Is there a problem with me living with Aragaki-kun? There's absolutely no problem!"

Chihiro Shiraha nodded in agreement, winking as she gave her two friends a subtle hint—

"If you're envious, I can take some time to move back and let you stay for a day or two."

"Cough cough~" For some reason, she understood Chihiro's implication and almost choked on her water. Meeting Aragaki Shun's strange gaze, she could only wave her hand to indicate that there was no problem. "Okay, I've never been in a relationship before, so I don't know how normal boyfriends and girlfriends get along. Maybe I'm overthinking it."

Netkura Mako's face flushed slightly, and apart from her hand trembling slightly as she held the cup, she showed no other reaction.

"Class monitor, I heard from Xiaofanbo and Xiaorihe that once the cruise ship reaches the deserted island, the school will likely have other arrangements. It seems like the first special exam is coming up soon?"

Is this true? What should we prepare in advance?

Hearing Netkura's question, Shun Aragaki met her flickering gaze and watched her shyly look away, knowing that she was deliberately changing the subject.

With a smile, the boy didn't expose the other person, but instead naturally gave instructions:

"I've already had Kanzaki lead the boys to search for information on camping. As for the girls, you'd better prepare some clothes that are suitable for living in the wilderness, since you'll be living on a deserted island for seven days."

"Is it really a wilderness survival trip?" Xiaoqiao Meng's cute face fell, and she muttered resentfully, "The school is such a rip-off, they actually lied to us and said it was an easy trip."

"Based on past experience, the school's style has always been half-true and half-false."

Shun Aragaki squinted and speculated, "If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to play happily and freely if we don't consider the issue of class competition."

Just like the recruitment advertisements of Advanced Education, the benefits such as tuition waivers, living allowance waivers, and benefits related to further education and employment are basically true, but the costs involved are not mentioned.

"But the key point is, how can we not consider class competition!"

Xiaoqiao Meng pouted, "Everyone in the class has worked so hard for so long, it's impossible to throw away all our previous advantages just for a trip."

"That's no problem!" Class A's leader said confidently. "I've been in Advanced Education for a semester now, when have you ever seen me lose?"

"Relax, Class A is strong enough to overwhelmingly defeat the other three classes. After the exams begin, I will find a reasonable plan as soon as possible so that everyone can enjoy this summer trip more easily while winning."

“That’s right! Aragaki-kun is the strongest!” Chihiro Shiraha clenched her little fist, firmly believing in this. “As long as we follow Aragaki-kun’s instructions, we will definitely be the final victors.”

"We have never doubted that."

Netkura Mako initially agreed, then changed the subject, "But the students in Class A aren't delicate flowers either. Class monitor doesn't need to worry too much about our feelings. If there are any difficult tasks, just bring them up and give them to us."

"As long as we can contribute to the class, it doesn't matter if we're a little tired. There will definitely be other opportunities after the summer vacation trip. We can't fall behind others just to enjoy ourselves."

"Yes, yes, yes! I also want to help everyone. I can't leave all the burden on the class monitor's shoulders."

Kohashi Yume nodded in agreement. Even if she could only offer a little help, she would do her best to complete any task assigned to Aragaki-kun.

Definitely!

"Yes, that's natural. As a leader, I do need to make good use of the strength of everyone in the class."

"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of paranoid person who wants to shoulder everything alone."

On the contrary, Shun Aragaki actually prefers to be lazy.

Ryuji Kanzaki certainly understands this deeply.

After all, in the past, after making decisions, the specific execution work was delegated to this class fund administrator.

The group was chatting about exams in the room when, not long after, the cruise ship's loudspeaker suddenly started playing a reminder message—

[This is to inform all students that if you have time, please assemble on the deck.]

We are about to see the islands, and you will surely see some very interesting sights in a short time.

Upon hearing this news, Shun Aragaki immediately stood up, took out his phone, and sent several messages in the class group, notifying everyone to bring the necessary equipment and head to the deck area.

"Let's go. It seems the special exam is really about to begin. The school is playing their favorite little hinting trick again."

What does "a very meaningful view" mean? You have to go up to the deck to see it.

While pondering the school's reminder, Shun Aragaki led Shiraha and the others to the assembly point.

A few minutes later, almost everyone in Class A arrived at the gathering point, and many students from other classes also arrived, some smart and some obedient.

Meanwhile, the cruise ship continued its journey as usual, and the island on the horizon could gradually become clearer in everyone's view.

"Hey, you're in the way. Get out of the way, you defective products."

Suddenly, a noisy sound came from beside him. Shun Aragaki looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the students from Class D were occupying better spots. Someone from Class B couldn't stand it and wanted to drive them away by force.

The target of this scare was Kiyotaka Ayanokouji, who was forcefully pushed away by a group of boys from Class B. He almost fell to the ground if he hadn't grabbed the deck handrail in time.

Aragaki Shun: "..."

This disguise is a bit too much.

Although he understood the other party's desire not to be high-profile, was it really necessary to always play this role of a lowly person who could be bullied?

You should know that if you play the fool for too long, you might not actually get to eat the tiger in the end; more likely, you'll end up being the fool yourself.

Shun Aragaki watched the conflict between Class D and Class B speechlessly. In the end, Class D lacked the confidence to back down and gave up the better viewing spot in a cowardly manner.

This shows that, compared to Class B, which had already taken action, the group in Class D did not connect the matter to the special exam at all.

Ayanokouji might have ideas, but he won't voice them; Hirata and Kushida probably have channels to obtain information from upperclassmen, but they haven't considered this possibility at all; Horikita Suzune could get information from the student council, but she's already decided to go solo...

In short, no matter how many talented people are in Class D, their actual ability to demonstrate their skills is practically nonexistent.

Shaking his head, Aragaki Shun looked at Katsuragi Kohei, who had a serious expression on his face.

"Hey, Katsuragi, I thought you were an upright person, but it seems I was wrong."

The bald man calmly watched the island getting closer and closer, and said without turning his head, "The class competition has already begun, and Class D is completely unprepared. That's what I didn't expect."

In other words, Katsuragi's decision to have his classmates drive out the students from Class D was not merely to secure better positions; it was also a test to see if the other students in Class D were prepared for the upcoming exam.

He just didn't expect that the group from Class D would actually give up their seats so readily.

"Kouenji Rokusuke once told me that Ayanokouji Kiyotaka of Class D might be hiding a lot of things. I have some doubts about this, as he doesn't seem to have any intention of participating in the class competition at all."

Hearing Katsuragi's nonchalant remark, Aragaki Shun smiled but did not respond. He simply gestured to Kanzaki Ryuji and Shibata Hayate, who were approaching from a distance.

They were carrying small binoculars and cameras, tools specifically requested for use on the cruise ship.

"Here, we've taken all of these things from the cruise ship. The school probably won't be able to produce any more stock in the short term."

Upon hearing this, Katsuragi Kohei's expression hardened, realizing that he had fallen behind again.

What made him feel somewhat helpless was that, after repeated defeats, he subconsciously began to think that this situation was normal.
