In fact, I can add unlimited points

Now it seems that if Arisu doesn't enroll, Koenji Rokusuke will be assigned to the original Class A from the start, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka will be placed in Class C, Aragaki Shun will be put in Class D, and finally a suitable student will be found from outside for Class B...

If the initial class assignments had been arranged this way, perhaps the competition among the four classes would have been more balanced.

"Alright, let's wait and see how those two grades develop for now. At least Class B in the first and second grades hasn't completely given up, so the school still has some room to maneuver."

"Let's finish the work at hand first, according to the original plan. The preferential treatment exam is in a few days. Kanda, do you think we should cancel it, or not cancel it and just change the reward and punishment rules?"

Put aside the headaches of dealing with the two grades; after all, he'll be suspended and leave the school when the new semester starts anyway. Let the other members of the council worry about these things.

“Let’s proceed as planned,” Director Kanda said, closing his eyes to think for a moment. When he opened them again, his eyes were no longer filled with confusion, and he made a decisive decision. “No changes are needed!”

"Is that really the case?" Sakayanagi Shigemori asked with some doubt. "You will be the acting chairman next semester, and you will be in charge of planning the budget for advanced training from now on."

He didn't want to oppose Kanda's decision; he was just curious about the other party's plans.

The budget for Advanced Development comes partly from government grants and partly from sponsorships from partners.

If the budget is insufficient to cover actual expenses due to special examinations, resulting in operational deficiencies at the school, the board of trustees and the government will hold them accountable.

"It's alright. I've already calculated it. Even if Shun Aragaki still manages to outperform the entire first-year class and achieve the theoretically highest score in the next special exam, the school's final expenditure will only be one-third of the cost of the deserted island exam."

One-third of 220 million personal points, and that's all?

Chairman Sakayanagi's face darkened. If he hadn't known it wasn't worth it, he would have suspected that the other party was trying to scam him.

"Aren't you worried about the situation in the first and second grades and afraid that the class competition will lose its meaning? I plan to wait until the sports festival and modify the original rules so that the three grades can compete against each other."

Director Kanda rested his chin on his hands and spoke his thoughts in a peculiar tone.

"I'm very curious, among the three—Horikita Manabu (third year), Nagumo Masaru (second year), and Aragaki Shun (first year)—who is the strongest?"

"Compared to the two senior grades, the first-year students ultimately lack one or two years of competitive experience, so the second special exam will proceed as planned, allowing them to accumulate more experience."

Regarding the exam budget, the individual points corresponding to the class evaluation scores are distributed in batches each month, so let's take it slow.

Not to mention, during the sports festival, the three grades can go head-to-head and let them steal each other's points, so the school won't have to spend any more money, right?

Chairman Sakayanagi's eyes flickered slightly. He felt that his old friend just wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble because he knew that the position of acting chairman would not last long.

However, this is not a big deal. High-cost education is a special school that cultivates talents by simulating society. Various rules and examination formats are constantly changing with the competition among classes.

Since Kanda wants to try a new path, let's see how it goes first.

"Does having the three grades compete against each other ensure that the entire grade is on the same side, or does it also introduce some competition within each grade?"

The chairman immediately understood and followed up with his own additional idea: "Right now, the B classes of all three grades have not completely given up. If they see an opportunity, they may be able to cheer up again."

"In short, the class's stance and the grade's stance should not be aligned. We should find a way to make them have multiple choices due to the uneven distribution of benefits within the examination system."

In the simplest case, if you cooperate with other grades, your grade's overall grades will drop, but your class will be able to improve... What should you do in this situation?

After a little thought, this is indeed a way to restore the significance of special examinations.

Since Aragaki Shun, Nagumo Masaru, and Horikita Manabu are already invincible in their respective grades, let them be each other's enemies.

"...We are not faculty members who specialize in designing special exams. Let's send this idea over and let them modify it according to the original plan for the sports festival."

The two highly accomplished directors discussed the matter and finally settled on a general approach.

In short, the cruise ship exam will remain unchanged, and the three-year competition will be pushed forward again at the sports festival next semester.

If this can reignite the fighting spirit of the lower-ranked classes, that would be ideal.

.........

It's still unclear what preparations the school is making. The first-year students, having just finished a seven-day survival trip on a deserted island, are mostly not in the mood to stay at the beach and play in the water. Instead, they have chosen to return to the cruise ship.

After taking a hot shower in his dorm and changing into some comfortable casual clothes, Shun Aragaki received an email from Honami Ichinose on his phone.

Unsurprisingly, the topic was about the celebration banquet that evening.

Such social activities, when limited in frequency, are beneficial for enhancing the overall cohesion of the class, so Shinjuku Shun naturally had no reason to refuse.

Before that, he had to go to Class D's accommodation area to help Wang Meiyu move her luggage, and also invite Horikita Suzune to the party that evening, since she had also contributed to Class A in this special exam.

After speaking with Chihiro, the boy left his room and went to the girls' accommodation area.

"Hey~ Squad leader, are you planning an attack here? Isn't that a bit too blatant?"

Xiaoqiao Meng, who was enjoying the breeze in the corridor, looked at the person who came and couldn't help but let out a soft gasp, followed by a mischievous grin and teasing.

"I remember you lived with Ichinose and Asako, right, Xiaomeng?"

Aragaki Shun replied without changing his expression, "We're one short. If you dare to give me a room key, I'd really like to find an opportunity to launch a night raid."

"Eeeeeeeeee—!!!"

Upon seeing Shun Aragaki in the room, Honami Ichinose, who was about to come out and greet him, was immediately startled. She stammered in surprise and couldn't even finish her sentence.

"Shin-Shin-Aki-kun, you...you're not serious, are you? Um...um..."

She recalled that night when she confided in the other person about her past and resolved her inner conflicts, and then she was tricked into doing some frivolous things.

Ever since he started dating Chihiro, I feel like Aragaki-kun has become more and more of a womanizer. Could he really be planning a night raid?

"It's a pity, but I don't have a room key, so I can't do a night raid even if I wanted to."

Nodding to Asako Ayakura, who was hiding in the room, and seeing that curious girls from other rooms had come out after hearing the noise, Shun Aragaki didn't delay any longer and decisively stated his purpose to avoid misunderstandings.

“After this exam on the deserted island, Xiaomei’s situation in Class D will become particularly awkward, but we can only process her transfer to another class after she returns to school. I’m going to go there now to help her move her luggage and find a new room.”

On this cruise ship, according to the school's arrangement, four people are required to share a dormitory room.

He didn't know which of Wang Meiyu's roommates were, but he was certain that the girls in Class D would not give her, the "traitor" who had run away to Class A, a friendly look.

In short, as the mastermind behind stealing D-class's supplies, and also as her boyfriend, he should take responsibility and help her resolve the potential dangers.

"Oh, I see. Then I'll go with you!"

Upon hearing this, Honami Ichinose's expression turned serious, and she quickly stepped forward to express her desire to participate in the operation.

"It is my responsibility to help students who have transferred to other classes integrate into the class as soon as possible."

“Of course, I was already thinking of asking you to come along.” Shun Aragaki nodded.

This was, after all, the girls' accommodation area. If Ichinose hadn't accompanied him, he would definitely have been harassed by a group of female hooligans if he had walked alone.

This sounds incredible, but in his experience, whenever girls gather together and there are no other boys around, things usually end up like this.

So the two of them went to the D class's residential area together. Xiaomeng and Mazi said they would stay and tidy up the room so that Xiaomei could move in later.

Because advanced training follows the principle of strength first, when boarding the cruise ship at the beginning, Class A chose their rooms first, while Class D could only be assigned last. Therefore, their rooms were located at the very back, requiring them to walk a longer distance.

Maintaining expressionless expressions, the two passed through the areas of Class B and Class C, and finally arrived at their destination.

Then Aragaki Shun saw a strange sight—

Wang Meiyu was not isolated; instead, she was surrounded by a group of girls from Class D, who were excitedly and enthusiastically discussing something.

191. An overly enthusiastic girl from Class D; most adept at betraying the class.

I think I underestimated my popularity in Class D?

Arriving at Wang Meiyu's dormitory, surrounded by a group of girls from Class D, Aragaki Shun suddenly had this thought in his mind.

He seems to have accomplished a kind of "establishing trust by setting up a log".

Rather than condemning Wang Meiyu for betraying the entire class, the students in Class D actually wanted to strengthen their connection with her.

Because their actions proved that as long as you contribute enough, you really can be transferred to Class A!

This is really exciting.

After a semester of setbacks and being stuck at the bottom of the first-year class for so long, even the most unwilling students in Class D were forced to develop a certain level of self-awareness.

In short, given Class D's overall strength, they certainly cannot expect to win the final victory in the class competition.

As for relying on hard skills to raise 20 million yuan and go solo, that's unrealistic; at least none of the girls present could do that.

But just when most of the students in Class D were about to give up and drift along in the Advanced Training Program, Wang Meiyu, who should have been in the same situation as them, was suddenly pulled out of the mire.

From the lowest level, Class D, to the highest level, Class A, and with the added advantage of receiving school recommendations, his future is destined to be smooth sailing in both further education and employment... What a successful example!

What? You're saying this promotion was achieved by betraying classmates and selling out the class... Why didn't you say so earlier? They may not be good at anything else, but they excel at this!

The group of girls surrounding Wang Meiyu exchanged glances and gave each other awkward but polite smiles. They wished there were fewer competitors among them.

In short, I need to find a way to get along well with Wang Meiyu. If we encounter a similar situation in the next special exam, my best friend must think of me first. That way, we can have each other in Class A.

When Shun Aragaki and Ichinose walked over, they were met with this somewhat awkward scene.

Xiao Mei suddenly had more than a dozen "close" best friends, and she seemed particularly uncomfortable.

But one cannot hit a smiling face. Given the gentle and shy nature of the young girl, it was impossible for her to forcefully drive everyone away, much less to say anything sarcastic or cynical to make them back down.

The situation remained deadlocked until the girl's savior arrived—

"Could you please come out first? Ichinose and I are here to help Mimi pack her luggage and take her to the Class A dormitory area."

Aragaki Shun casually glanced at the group of students in Class D. He wondered if it was a deliberate arrangement by the school, but he felt that, putting everything else aside, this class had a lot of pretty girls.

When schools admit students, they must have considered appearance, given how exceptionally high the quality of applicants is.

The school probably sees good looks as part of one's abilities, since, based on his own experience, being handsome does indeed give one an advantage.

"Phew~ Aragaki-kun, you're here!"

Upon seeing her beloved, Wang Meiyu's eyes lit up, and she excitedly rushed into his arms, first nuzzling him with her head before turning to her right and hugging one of the boy's arms.

The students in Class D were immediately dumbfounded.

Because they returned to the cruise ship on the first day of the exam on the deserted island, they had no idea about the relationship between the two.

And isn't Aragaki Shun's girlfriend Shiranami Chihiro?

"Um, Aragaki-kun, and Mimi, what's going on here...?"

Kikyo Kushida looked somewhat surprised, and she instinctively covered her mouth as if she had discovered some secret.

In fact, Shun Aragaki had no intention of keeping his affair of two men a secret.

After all, Xiaomei and Xiaoqianxun have already made many concessions in their relationship. It would be excessive to ask them to hide their relationship in formal settings and act secretly.

Anyway, Shun Aragaki wasn't worried about damaging his reputation. With his level 5 [Abnormal Ignore] ability reducing his presence, it didn't matter if this was made public.

"As you can see, Xiaomei is now my girlfriend, just like Qianxun."

After giving a casual reply, Shun Aragaki looked away, not paying much attention to Kikyo Kushida, even though he could sense that the other woman's hidden emotions were about to explode.

Not only Kushida, but also Karuizawa Megumi, who had come here, and Sakura Airi, who was hiding in the corner, both looked complicated.

Meanwhile, many of the girls in Class D looked at each other in bewilderment, feeling that their common sense had been challenged.

Why is Shun Aragaki able to describe this unusual situation so simply, as if it were perfectly natural?

While some of the girls in Class D were inwardly complaining, their gazes toward Wang Meiyu became even more admiring.

Clearly, they probably filled in some blanks in their minds and imagined the seemingly delicate Xiao Mei as someone with unfathomable inner depths.

However, the girl with dark blue twin tails was naturally unaware of this and didn't care at all.

After Shun Aragaki had drawn everyone's attention away, she finally had time to pack her bags and prepare to head to Class A to begin her exciting new life.

Seeing this, Ichinose went in to help, as did Kikyo Kushida. Even though she had a lot of dark emotions churning inside, she could only happily bid farewell to her friend for the sake of her public image.

So the other girls in Class D, who had nothing else to do, simply surrounded Aragaki Shun and began asking him all sorts of questions out of curiosity:

"Aragaki-kun, how did you and Komi get together? Doesn't Shiraha-kun have any objections to this?"

Aragaki Shun: "..."

You might not believe it, but Chihiro not only had no objections, she was the one who actively helped put Mimi in bed.

"Aragaki-kun, did you pay 20 million yen to transfer Xiaomei to another class because you had a crush on her? What about Shiina Hiyori in Class C? Was it the same reason?"

Aragaki Shun: "..."

I can say that Hiyori is, but was Xiaomei really just the best choice after rational consideration at the beginning?

After all, there were only a few students in Class D who were both capable and suitable to transfer to Class A, and Xiao Mei was the most suitable at the time.

"Aragaki-kun, is there anyone else you like in Class D? Will the next student transferring to Class A be chosen from Class D?"

Aragaki Shun: "..."
