In fact, I can add unlimited points

Then there's even less need for that!

Ultimately, apart from Class B, which was still struggling, the entire first year was basically his people.

The school can't possibly give all the preferential treatment to one class, can it?

Needless to say, the selection of those receiving preferential treatment will be seriously adjusted... the implication is already quite clear.

His influence extends to everyone in Class A, everyone in Class C except for Long Yuan, and even most of the people in Class D.

With a single command, one can easily obtain anywhere from seven to nine candidates for preferential treatment.

In this situation, the exam has just begun, but it's actually already over.

All you need to do is give Koenji Rokusuke a nudge.

200. Longyuan is still lying dormant; profit-sharing meeting.

"We've already lost."

Upon learning all the rules of the preferential treatment exam, Koenji Rokusuke made this judgment immediately.

"Unless the school gives all the preferential treatment to Class B, we absolutely cannot win this special exam."

He was somewhat disappointed, but he had prepared himself mentally when he transferred to Class B, so he wasn't too upset about the result.

"...Is there really no chance at all?"

Katsuragi Kohei remained silent for a moment, his tone clearly showing resentment.

It's suffocating to think that our leader has already declared defeat even though the chosen candidates haven't even been selected yet.

Although most of the students in Class B had long been used to this situation after repeated failures, the class is now moving towards integration and starting to change, isn't it?

"There are 12 large groups in total across four first-grade classes. As long as the school still wants to maintain apparent fairness, then theoretically each class will have 3 preferential treatment recipients."

"If Aragaki Boy can control the nine privileged students in Class A, Class C, and Class D, then the remaining three privileged students in our hands will become meaningless."

Koenji thought he had explained things clearly, but a green-haired boy still asked, puzzled:

"What's the big deal? Even if Shun Aragaki can quickly obtain the names of the privileged students from Class C and Class D, it's just an internal transaction between the three classes. We can just hide our own three privileged students, right?"

Totsuka Yahiko had a matter-of-fact expression on his face.

He admitted that with Aragaki Shun's prestige, he definitely had a way to obtain the names of the privileged students from Class C and Class D.

Just like during the exam on the deserted island, as long as he was willing to pay enough personal points, there were plenty of people in those two classes who were willing to sacrifice the interests of their class in exchange for their own growth.

But what does this have to do with Class B?

As long as the recipients of preferential treatment are not like Kamuro Masumi or those who are clearly traitors, they still have a chance to achieve outcome two.

If they're lucky, and can hide the favored student while also figuring out who the favored student in Class A is, Class B can tie with Class A, and both classes can gain 150 evaluation points.

Glancing at this incredibly stupid and self-righteous idiot, Koenji never expected that he would still encounter such a person even after leaving Class D.

"You, Katsuragi-boy, tell us."

Katsuragi Kohei was taken aback when he was given the task, but he quickly realized what was going on.

"We also need to consider outcome four: before Class B is fully integrated, he can tempt our classmates to deliberately answer incorrectly."

"Even if the group of the three privileged students in Class A doesn't include the few from Kamuro, and the students from Class C or D deliberately answer incorrectly, it can still increase Class A's class evaluation score by 150."

In other words, even if they can maintain their status as the top performers in this special exam, Class A will still gain at least 450 class evaluation points.

In comparison, the best outcome for Class B is only to obtain 150 million personal points through outcome two.

"How could this be?" Totsuka Yahiko's eyes widened, and he suddenly felt weak all over. "Then we're doomed to lose. Even if we keep our status as a privileged student, the gap between our class evaluation score and Class A's will widen by 450 points."

The gap between the two classes is now nearly 500 points. If it widens any further, there will be no hope of a comeback.

"You forgot that preferential treatment will be seriously adjusted."

Setting down the mirror, Koenji gazed down at Katsuragi Kohei.

This former leader of Class B seems to have somewhat average thinking ability; despite the class teacher giving him so many hints, he didn't even think of them.

"...You mean the 12 recipients of special privileges were chosen according to some special rule, and that once a certain number of correct candidates are selected, the names of all the recipients can be known?"

Ge Cheng's breathing became heavier and heavier. If the truth was indeed true, then their class would lose at least 150 class evaluation points to Class A.

"That's how it works. If nothing unexpected happens, the two classes can find out all the remaining names by working together and using the six candidates for preferential treatment."

This is a judgment made by Koenji Rokusuke from the school's perspective.

The werewolf game within the large group tests the students' individual observation and intelligence gathering abilities.

However, if the class leader can understand the teacher's hints through reflection, then this exam will likely turn into a battle of alliances between classes.

Without a doubt, this should have been the best opportunity for the two lower-ranked classes to join forces and catch up with the higher-ranked classes.

Unfortunately, Class B doesn't even have a single ally to unite with right now.

Thinking of this, Koenji looked at Katsuragi Kohei and suddenly asked, "How is Dragonboy now?"

"...Are you talking about Ryuen Sho?" Not quite used to the other person's way of speaking, Katsuragi thought carefully for a moment before understanding Koenji's question.

"He is still lying in the cruise ship's specially equipped medical room, and is prohibited from participating in this exam due to health reasons."

After a moment's hesitation, the steady student continued:

"I heard that a student council vice president and a health clinic teacher both suggested, on the grounds of safety, that Longyuan be sent directly to advanced education by helicopter, but the school refused."

Upon hearing this, everyone in Class B was speechless.

The student council vice president is Shun Aragaki, and the school nurse is Chie Hoshinomiya, the class advisor of Class A, right?

While these two individuals certainly deserve to be concerned about students being harmed during exams, this whole situation just sounds so awkward.

"Heh, did Aragaki boy foresee this day back on that deserted island?"

Koenji witnessed firsthand how Ryuen Sho was seriously injured and forced to leave the field.

Looking back now, it's clear that the leader of Class A had already guessed there would be a special exam on the cruise ship, so he simply took the opportunity to let Long Yuan stay in bed for a few more days.

In this way, the other person will not be able to get in the way during the exam.

"I didn't think of that at the time, which was a real mistake for someone as beautiful as me."

After a casual remark, he didn't dwell on the matter and continued, "How many people in the class haven't signed the contract yet?"

He picked up a pile of documents from the side. Katsuragi had recently started working as Koenji's assistant, so he would be in charge of compiling these detailed class information documents.

"I have completed 32 contracts in total, and now only 8 people, including Kamuro Masumi, Morishita Ai, and Kito Hayato, are still hesitating."

"Among them, Kamuro Masumi has completely sided with Aragaki Shun and is not of one mind with Class B. Meanwhile, Morishita Ai and Kito Hayato seem to have been in contact with students from Class A recently, possibly discussing some related conditions."

The situation still looks somewhat serious, but Kohei Katsuragi is quite optimistic about it.

Before Rokusuke Koenji transferred to Class B, Class B was directly split into two major camps and three factions, and none of the factions had more than 20 people at their peak.

Now, 32 people in the class have united and formed an unprecedented force. As long as the remaining few who are still wavering are won over, the future of a unified B class is just around the corner.

"There are still 8 people left?" Koenji thought for a moment, but couldn't find a problem, so he simply instructed, "Have all the people who have already signed contracts work together to persuade them, whether it's discussing the pros and cons, appealing to their emotions, or taking advantage of the atmosphere."

"In short, we should bring together all those who can be united as soon as possible, and deal with the rest who are completely unwilling to cooperate later."

Koenji Rokusuke actually quite liked the rules and regulations that Aragaki Shun set up for Class A.

However, for this to be effective, it must be notarized by the school.

To complete this step, the entire class needs to sign the application.

This was an impossible task for Class B, so he could only unite the class through contracts.

To quell external threats, one must first secure internal stability. Before uniting the class into a cohesive unit, competing with Aragaki Shun would be an incredibly difficult task.

“Those who have ideas can go to Class C and Class D and talk to more people to see if they can win over some students who are still undecided.”

In reality, Koenji Rokusuke believed that both Class C and Class D were easy to exploit.

In theory, given the situation in these two classes, as long as you have enough personal points, it's actually quite easy to manage.

However, Class B is also a bunch of poor people now, and the little money they have left is to be used to buy transfer tickets for the next nine months.

It's quite a rare experience for someone who is the heir to a conglomerate to be able to feel the helplessness caused by poverty.

.........

"The school won't announce all the beneficiaries via email until 8 a.m. tomorrow. What's the point of calling me here now?"

Shun Aragaki specifically found a meeting room on the first floor of the cruise ship and called over the management of Class A, Masumi Kamuro from Class B, Mio Ibuki from Class C, and Megumi Karuizawa from Class D.

As soon as I pushed open the door and walked in, Ibuki, who was not used to such a solemn scene, couldn't help but complain to Aragaki Shun when she saw so many people gathered inside.

In fact, not only Ibuki, but also Kamuro Masumi and Karuizawa Megumi are students who lack their own opinions and only know how to obey orders.

Invited by Shun Aragaki to participate in this kind of decision-making meeting, none of them knew what to say, so they simply sat to the side and waited silently for instructions.

"Sit down first. Although the winners of this exam have not yet been selected, I have already grasped the key to it, and the victory is already secured."

"I've called you here now for two reasons: firstly, to assign tasks, and secondly, to divide the spoils."

Shun Aragaki sat in the main seat and tapped the table, signaling everyone present to turn their attention to him.

"Huh? You've already grasped the key?" Ibuki Mio's eyes widened, revealing an incredulous expression. "So this is another exam that's over as soon as it begins?"

The previous deserted island exam was largely structured by this person on the first day. If the current preferential treatment exam is the same, then all the other first-year students will become mere decorations.

Kamuro Masumi was also somewhat surprised, but quickly became indifferent.

Anyway, she knew she wasn't smart enough, so she could leave things that required strategy to her "master." Why should she, a follower who just obeyed orders, think so much?

Karuizawa Kei, on the other hand, didn't care about any of that. As a parasite, the stronger the host she was parasitizing, the better.

She would be satisfied as long as she worked hard, proved her worth and was obedient, so that the host would not have the idea of ​​abandoning her and replacing her.

"After I take control of the first-year students, this kind of thing will probably become more and more common. You guys should get used to it soon."

Class B is now the only one left in the first year, isolated and helpless. Even if Koenji goes to regroup, it will be impossible for him to pose a threat to Class A in the short term.

As time goes by, the gap in strength between the two sides will only widen.

To some extent, class competition has almost lost its meaning. There's a similar situation with Nan Yunya in the second grade. I wonder how the school will solve this problem?

"Without further ado, let's get straight to the point. Do you have any questions about the rules of this special exam?"

He clapped his hands and looked around at everyone present.

Besides Ryuji Kanzaki and Honami Ichinose, Hiyori Shiina from Class A also participated in the meeting. The girl is an intellectual talent recruited from Class C and can act as a strategist to help him identify and fill in any gaps in his knowledge.

It sounds a bit modest, but Shun Aragaki really doesn't consider himself the kind of clever person who can calculate everything perfectly.

The main reason he has come this far is because of his high overall quality, which allows him to crush his opponents with sheer strength.

In short, Shun Aragaki is a well-rounded, all-around warrior. Even if he is inferior to others in a certain area, he can regain the advantage by changing the battlefield.

So it's perfectly normal if there are things you haven't thought of.

Ibuki, Karuizawa, and the other two looked at each other in bewilderment. When asked if they had any questions about the rules of the exam, could they say that they had questions about everything?

"Never mind," Shun Aragaki understood what was going on. He gestured to Hiyori, who had prepared a stack of documents in front of her. "These are summaries of the four results from this exam. Take a look."

If we set aside other requirements and prohibitions for the moment and only look at the results, this exam becomes very simple.

—In each group, the class of the student receiving preferential treatment does not need to answer.

—If the exam is completed within the half-hour period from 9:30 PM to 10:00 PM on the same day, the result will be as follows:

[Result 1: Everyone answered correctly, everyone received 500,000 personal points, and the privileged participant received 1,000,000 points.]

[Result 2: If someone does not answer or answers incorrectly, the recipient of the preferential treatment will receive 500,000 personal points.]

—If any student answers the questions between the start of the exam and 9:30 PM on the last day of the exam, the result will be as follows:

[Result 3: The student answered correctly. Their class will have 50 class evaluation points taken from the preferential classes, and the student will receive 500,000 personal points.]

[Result 4: The student answered incorrectly. The student's class will receive 50 class evaluation points as a bonus, and the bonus student will receive 500,000 personal points.]

"The key to this exam is the time allotted for answering the questions and whether the answers are correct. If you answer within that half hour, you will only get the first two results. If you answer at other times, you will get the latter two results."

"Outcome two doesn't need to be considered. Outcomes three and four are essentially the plunder of evaluation scores between classes. The benefits that can be obtained from the school are essentially the same as those from outcome two, which is only 600 million personal points."

Everyone present was moved. Since the second outcome didn't need to be considered, and the latter two were essentially the same, then Aragaki Shun's goal was very clear.

"Do we need to complete Result 1?" Ryuji Kanzaki thought for a moment and pointed out the difficulty directly. "Result 1 can only be answered within half an hour from 9:30 to 10:00 on the night the exam ends, and everyone must answer it correctly together."

This is a difficult task, because students from other classes will definitely try to find out who the recipient of the preferential treatment will be.
