It's as if I'm some kind of workplace shady character, using personal points to support a high school girl based entirely on personal preference.

Well, it seems this misunderstanding is completely impossible to explain away.

"Aragaki-kun, do you actually prefer the delicate and adorable style of Shiranami-kun and Komi...?"

Hearing these nonsensical questions, Shun Aragaki was speechless. In the end, he simply said nothing and smiled as they speculated wildly.

Feeling a bit bored, I simply let my mind wander, not thinking about anything, and quietly enjoying being surrounded by a group of young girls.

Until a certain inconspicuous red-haired country girl secretly tried to approach, but was ignored because of her low profile, she was suddenly pushed and pounced on.

He caught Sakura Airi, and the next moment, in Aragaki Shun's speechless gaze, the girl let out a "Ya!" and her whole face was covered with blush. Strange circles began to appear in her eyes, as if she was about to faint.

"Wow, that's amazing! Who is this person? Is this student in our class?"

"It should be someone from our class, I think her name is Sakura. She usually hides in a corner and doesn't talk to anyone, I didn't expect her to be so bold now."

"Never mind, I'll give it a try too. I want to touch Aragaki-kun's abs. I heard he ran nineteen laps around the island without much rest."

"Haha~ Then let me help you out, let's go, Maya!"

It's unclear who started this commotion, but several more girls were laughing and shoving at him. Shun Aragaki's lips twitched slightly, and he sighed helplessly. He simply used his skill to minimize his presence, picked up Airi, and nimbly walked over the playful crowd.

The next moment, with a "bang," the two had already run into Wang Meiyu's room, blocking the rest of the people outside the door.

It's finally quiet!

"As expected, I'm still not used to scenes where girls gather together."

Boys should also learn to protect themselves when they're out and about. Girls can be quite scary when they turn into hooligans.

"Pfft~" Laughter suddenly rang out in the room. Ichinose, who had taken a moment to glance at the commotion, couldn't help but tease, "Is this the second time?"

"I never thought that our respected Squad Leader Aragaki would actually be so scared that he would run away."

"The students in Class D are being a bit too enthusiastic."

Shun Aragaki shook his head helplessly, then glanced at Airi Sakura, who was too embarrassed to look up in his arms, and asked the others in the room, "Airi seems to have fainted. Can I put her on the bed to rest?"

"Of course there's no problem. After all, this is Sakura's room, and this is her bed."

The girl with brown bangs pointed to the bed in the upper left corner, curiously looking at Shun Aragaki. After being stared at by him, she lowered her head shyly.

He remembered that the other person's name was Inotou Shin, and that he was a friend of Wang Meiyu and Kushida Kikyo in Class D.

It's normal for the three of them to live in the same dormitory, but why is Airi living here too?

Just as Shun Aragaki had this question in mind, he saw Kikyo Kushida on the other side, seemingly lost in thought, and immediately the answer came to him.

Airi was probably all alone and didn't have any friends to keep her company, so Kikyo saw her and invited her over.

After understanding what was going on, Shun Aragaki felt relieved and did not expose the truth that the red-haired girl was faking fainting. Instead, he put her down and let her calm down.

"Have you packed everything, Xiaomei?"

Looking around the room, there were only four guests: Wang Meiyu, Kushida Kikyo, Inoshita Shin, and Sakura Airi, as well as Ichinose and himself, the two outsiders.

As a guy, it wouldn't sound good to stay in the girls' dormitory with the door closed for so long, so I'd better tell Xiaomei to hurry up and do something.

"Class A is having a celebration party tonight, we can't miss it."

"It's all done. I don't have much stuff, so I can leave now."

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Wang Meiyu first responded to Aragaki Shun, then looked at Kushida Kikyo and Ino-da Kokoro, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

During the exam on the deserted island, when faced with Aragaki-kun's invitation, she didn't think too much about it and just subconsciously followed his instructions.

Now back on the cruise ship, facing friends I usually get along with well, at least on the surface, suddenly becomes very awkward.

Whatever the reason, her actions betrayed all the students in Class D. It might not matter if she didn't know the others, but when it came to Kikyo and Koko...

"Sorry~ I..." Wang Meiyu pursed her lips, about to say something, when she was stopped by Aragaki Shun.

"I arranged all of Xiaomei's actions during the exam. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, with her gentle nature, she wouldn't have had the courage to bear the hostility of the entire Class D."

Shun Aragaki reached out and intertwined his fingers with the blue-haired girl's, calmly meeting the gazes of Kikyo Kushida and Shin Inokashira.

"I don't think I did anything wrong. It was the best choice for both Class A and Xiaomei herself. As for the harm to the other students in Class D... I can only say that class competition has always been like this."

"From now on, Xiaomei will be a member of our Class A. If you two are willing to put aside your past grievances and become leaders of Class A, I would also very much welcome Kushida and Inokashira to become our friends."

Faced with the aura of the strongest student in the grade, Inokashira Kokoro suddenly became at a loss. She subconsciously looked at Kushida Kikyo, only to see that the little angel of Class D had already shown a gentle and energetic smile.

“Akira-kun, you’ve misunderstood. Neither Koko nor I meant to blame Koko.”

"Although I shouldn't say it like that, I know that Class D is in a bad situation. Xiaomei is a gentle and good student with excellent grades. We are so happy for her that she was able to get a recommendation from the school to go to Class A."

As she spoke, Kikyo Kushida stretched out her hands and held Wang Meiyu's other hand in front of her chest.

"Even if we're not in the same class anymore, Xiaomei and I will still be friends, right?"

The blue-haired girl, still a little dazed, trembled as her fingers were intertwined with Aragaki Shun's, and instinctively looked at her beloved beside her.

Aragaki once said that Kikyo has a hidden side; she can be a regular friend, but not someone you can confide in deeply.

She wouldn't doubt her lover's judgment, but since they could become ordinary friends, it shouldn't be a problem to agree to his request here.

Shinjuku Shun remained silent, but that was the answer, and Wang Meiyu relaxed.

"I understand, Little Kikyo and Little Care. Even if we leave Class D, can we still be friends?"

"Of course, it doesn't matter which class you're in."

"Me too."

"That's great! I'm sorry, and thank you for forgiving my stubbornness!"

Shun Aragaki and Ichinose witnessed a touching exchange between close friends.

However, compared to the pink-haired girl with a gentle smile, the leader of Class A felt increasingly complicated.

Because of his talent, he could sense an increasingly profound malice lurking in the shadows.

No matter how much sisterly affection they project to the outside world, it doesn't change the fact that one of them is about to explode.

Oops~ I suddenly have a dangerous feeling. What if this guy tries to stab me with a knife?

192. Kikyo Kushida is about to explode again; Koenji's promise to the Class B members.

"It feels kind of romantic..."

In the dormitory area of ​​Class D, I watched Wang Meiyu and Aragaki Shun leave together, and from then on I became a member of Class A.

Inoto Kokoro, who had always been on good terms with Komi, murmured softly.

Unlike Kikyo Kushida, she didn't think that much; she was just a little envious.

In the past, both of them had few friends in class due to their introverted and shy personalities. Only with the help of Kikyo Kushida were they able to form a small circle to keep each other warm and avoid being bullied in the terrible environment of Class D.

In other words, from the perspective of the girls in Class D, both she and Wang Meiyu were essentially Xiao Jiegeng's followers.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Mei, who was thought to be in the same situation as her and could only rely on Xiao Jiegeng, is now dating the boy who is ranked first in the grade, and he is even willing to pay 20 million to help her get out of the quagmire of Class D.

Even more unimaginable is that Xiaomei, a quiet girl, would actually risk the hostility of the entire class to move supplies during a special exam.

She didn't know what others thought, but she just found it incredibly romantic, as if she were witnessing a scene from a light novel.

One is a revered leader of Class A, commanding respect and influence among students; the other is an ordinary girl assigned to the worst class. Their social standing is vastly different, and given the competitive nature of the class, their paths should never cross. But by chance...

Despite the complete lack of more specific information, Inokashira Kokoro had already expanded a dramatic story of millions of words in her mind.

I feel so connected to her, after all, her position in the class should be similar to Xiaomei's, only her academic performance is relatively worse.

If it were Karuizawa, Horikita, or Kikyo, she definitely wouldn't compare herself to them, but since Komi was able to succeed, does that mean she also has a chance?

Kikyo Kushida: "......"

As a little angel who can make friends with most people in the grade, Kushida could not possibly fail to see Inohira's constant outward displays of affection.

The key point is that she wasn't the only one. In fact, all the girls in Class D who came out to say goodbye to Wang Meiyu had different thoughts to varying degrees.

Given the opportunity to transfer to Class A, which stands at the pinnacle of advanced development, who would want to remain in the garbage dump and rot along with other flawed individuals?

Leaving aside the school's promises of further education and employment after graduation, even just looking at the present, the benefits of joining Class A are enough to make students in all the lower classes envious.

First, there's the 21 personal points per month corresponding to the 2122 evaluation score in Class A. Even if half of that needs to be handed over as class fees, the remaining half is enough for four or five months' living expenses for students in Class D.

Then comes the leap in status. Sakurajima is a country that values ​​class and social circles. As students of Class D, no matter how unwilling they are, they cannot change the fact that they are at the bottom of the highly developed class. Anyone can step on them and they have no confidence to refute being ridiculed as flawed products.

Once they join Class A, they can stand tall and face anyone, and even take Class B and Class C for granted as inferior classes.

In addition, Class A has the best atmosphere among the first-year students; they receive monthly tutoring fees to ensure they truly learn something; the class has the strongest student in the grade who can easily pass special exams; and the leader of Class A is also a powerful figure in the student council...

With just a little thought, one can find so many benefits, each one of which is something that students in Class D can hardly dream of.

As for the claim that Shun Aragaki is a womanizer and might have made advances towards the girls who transferred to his class...

Wow~ There's such a good thing? So what's the price to pay?

Seeing that many girls in Class D were captivated, Kikyo Kushida secretly clenched her small fists, the veins on them bulging.

If nothing unexpected happens, I'll definitely be the one who gets betrayed the most during future special exams.

Because everyone else can sell the class for their own benefit, but she can't do anything. She can only watch helplessly as others damage their share of the class's interests, and then wretchedly clean up the mess left by her runaway "friend".

Just like now, even though she knew that Wang Meiyu had moved a portion of the supplies during the exam, she could only pretend not to care and use that disgusting tone to ask to continue being friends.

It made her want to curse herself, thinking, "How shameless am I?!"

The thought of having to experience this scenario many times in the future, with all the slightly capable members of Class D running away, leaving him to endure the harassment from Haruki Yamauchi, Kanji Ike and others every day... Kushida felt that such a world should just be destroyed!

Heh~ Even that zombie-faced bitch Horikita Suzune can attend the celebration party in Class A. She usually acts all high and mighty with me, huh... Wang Meiyu, that love-struck girl, forgets everything as soon as a man hooks her up... Aragaki Shun, you bastard, why the hell are you trying to poach people from my side?!

Aaaaaaahh ...

I want to die, I want to kill all of these people!

The emotions churning within him grew increasingly violent. To prevent others around him from noticing something was wrong, Kushida could only pretend to be dejected and run away.

Fortunately, the escape was successful. The other girls in Class D genuinely believed that she and Wang Meiyu had a good relationship, so she was looking for a quiet place to be alone.

Unfortunately, she's on a cruise ship now, with nowhere to hide to vent her negative emotions!

Finding a secluded spot, Kikyo Kushida leaned against a wall, her eyes bloodshot as she gazed at the blue sky and the sea, lost in thought.

.........

Just as the students of Class A were preparing for their victory celebration, the students of Class B, who had also returned to the cruise ship, gathered together, their faces serious as they reviewed the recently concluded exam on the deserted island.

"...In short, Class B was passive throughout the exam, mainly due to internal integration issues."

"In exchange for helping students transfer to Class A, Wang Meiyu from Class D exchanged her class's temporary points for supplies to be used by Class A."

Katsuragi Kohei looked around at everyone in Class B, his expression somewhat helpless. "If Aragaki Shun offered the same terms, how many of us in Class B would be as decisive as Wang Meiyu, selling off the class for our own future?"

Silence filled the room.

People come to Advanced Education because of the benefits advertised by the school, which are only available to graduates of Class A.

If one loses confidence in the class's competitiveness, then sabotaging Class B in exchange for the opportunity to go solo is acceptable.

It doesn't matter which class is A, or what method they use; they simply want to graduate from A.

Therefore, many students in Class B were unsure how to respond to Katsuragi's questioning.

Don't they know about the problems in the class?

But what can you do even if you know?

Since Class B's strength is insufficient to support them in winning the class competition, isn't it normal for them to find their own way?

Even if a small number of students still feel a sense of belonging to the class and don't want to betray other classmates, what if they are betrayed by others?

The current situation is that it's an open secret that there are traitors within Class B.

Even if they don't betray the interests of the class, others will plot to tear apart Class B for their own benefit.

If that's the case, then why can't I be the one who gets promoted to Class A by stepping on the other classes...?

No one spoke, but the atmosphere on the field said it all. Katsuragi opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

He is not the kind of person who likes to use moral blackmail.

Honestly, the reason why Class B's situation has become so bad is mainly because he and Sakayanagi, the two leaders, are too incompetent.

Those in Class B who followed them saw no hope of progress, which is why they lost their fighting spirit and wanted to find another way out.
