"Because of health reasons, I remember you rarely get up at this time, right, Sakayanagi?"

Since moving to this apartment, the two have become neighbors. For Shun Aragaki, who is used to getting up early for a morning run, it wasn't difficult to figure out Sakayanagi's schedule.

"After all, it's been two weeks since I last saw Aragaki-kun, and I can't wait to see him again today."

Sakayanagi smiled slightly, and his words gave off an ambiguous feeling, as if there was some special close relationship between them.

Aragaki Shun simply rolled his eyes at this. He wasn't an inexperienced virgin, so why would he be swayed by such a little trick?

More importantly, the person on the other end has a congenital heart condition, and any rational person would not have any special thoughts about him.

Otherwise, could they really turn a wedding into a funeral?

Sakayanagi, of course, was perfectly aware of his own situation.

Therefore, this ambiguous tone should be taken as a useful rhetoric; if you take it seriously, you'll fall for it.

"Hiss~ It's really chilling to hear someone say something like that, given your personality."

With his arms crossed, Shun Aragaki bluntly retorted, "Are you trying to catch me off guard so you can exploit my weakness?"

Sakayanagi Yusu: "..."

"Is my image in Aragaki's eyes really that bad?"

The silver-haired girl wore a look that was both funny and exasperated. The aggrieved expression on her delicate face would make anyone who didn't know the situation glare angrily at Aragaki Shun for causing this scene.

"It's not about whether your image is good or bad. I just think you're capable of doing something like this."

Everyone says that Sakayanagi is a so-called genius, but in Aragaki Shun's eyes, this guy just has a congenital heart disease and has been comforted by his family, so he really thinks he is a genius.

After all, with the background of the chairman of the board of directors of the Advanced Education Institute, most people would definitely be willing to go along with her ideas. As long as there are enough people to coax her, the fake will become the real thing.

Ultimately, given her status, as long as she doesn't run into people from the same social class, she can do whatever she wants without any problems.

In this situation, it would be incredibly easy for the girl to claim the title of "genius."

However, if things develop to the point where the background becomes ineffective, and victory cannot be achieved without a fight, requiring her to personally intervene in the game, then the title of "genius" will become precarious.

Anyway, Shun Aragaki still can't figure it out. Sakayanagi Arisu is the most talked-about person in the advanced training program, so where does she get the confidence to launch a rumor attack on him?

On the other hand, based on the information provided by Miki Yamamura and Masumi Kamuro, he also learned that the other side had planned to target the Katsuragi faction in order to completely unify the management of the class.

This is actually not a big deal; Class B does need to integrate to unleash its full potential.

The problem is that the unification method in Sakayanagi Arisu's plan was to betray the Katsuragi faction during the special examination.

In this way, Katsuragi Kohei, who has caused significant losses to the class, will be abandoned by the entire class... This tactic is difficult to judge.

In Aragaki Shun's words, under normal circumstances, Sakayanagi and Katsuragi's strengths were actually quite similar, but the girl was able to force Katsuragi to give up by disregarding the interests of the class.

If you can't suppress them with sheer strength, then fight to the limit and see who can withstand the greater losses.

Clearly, Katsuragi was no match for him in this aspect and lost from the very beginning.

His most proficient methods are backstabbing and spreading rumors. From this, we can see that Sakayanagi actually advocates hurting others with his own strength. With a thick health bar, he can win even if he kills 800 enemies but loses 1,000 of his own.

Therefore, he had every reason to suspect that Sakayanagi was trying to seduce him.

Regardless of the truth, we should be more vigilant. Given the other person's physical condition, if we go too far, it's only a matter of time before we're expelled from school or even sent to prison.

Sakayanagi Yusu: "..."

Faced with the boy's outspoken remarks, the chairman's daughter really couldn't hold back anymore.

With a slightly ambiguous look, the girl glanced at the man and said somewhat angrily, "Since you don't like me so much, I won't stay any longer. I'm just an eyesore to you."

"My father asked me to tell you that being able to obtain 1730 class evaluation scores and 8500 million personal points in one summer vacation is a miracle that has never happened since the founding of the school."

"But the school isn't going to take this lying down. It's one thing to do this once or twice, but don't expect to have such a good opportunity again, especially after he leaves school, the exam format for first and second year students will change."

After saying this, Sakayanagi Arisu saw that Aragaki Shun looked thoughtful, turned around, opened the door, and disappeared, leaving only a "bang".

Shaking his head, Shun Aragaki could only sigh at how much Sakayanagi Narimori doted on his only daughter.

"Knowing that the preferential treatment exam is meaningless and just a way to give me money, they still arranged so many rewards... Was this what they were waiting for?"

It's obvious that the chairman specifically asked Sakayanagi Arisu to convey this message in order to ask for a favor for his daughter.

In two weeks, he will be leaving Advanced Incubation Center, and before that, he naturally needs to make arrangements for Sakayanagi Arisu's life.

Even just considering those 8500 million personal points, once Sakayanagi Arisu joins Class A, he'll have to give her some special treatment.

At the very least, we can't let her be ostracized and isolated by the other students in Class A.

Of course, Shun Aragaki might not care about his personal points, but the source power he gained from the preferential treatment exam was real.

In addition, Chairman Sakayanagi specifically reminded him that the exam format for first and second year students would change when the next semester begins.

I just don't know exactly what aspects of the changes are being referred to.

While pondering, Shun Aragaki turned his gaze to Arisu Sakayanagi's apartment next door.

As the chairman of the school's board of directors, Sakayanagi Shigemori was naturally aware of where his daughter had moved to.

Since the other party did not object, it can be seen as tacit agreement to some extent.

Should I say, "Parents' hearts are full of love and worry for their children"?

After muttering a soft complaint, Shun Aragaki felt goosebumps rising on his skin.

According to information obtained from Director Kanda, Sakayanagi Shigemori's suspension of his position is also to take the time to adopt a suitable successor from a branch of the Sakayanagi family, so as not to let the hereditary chairmanship slip away.

Given Sakayanagi Arisu's physical condition, she certainly couldn't inherit the position herself. She wanted to find a husband and adopt a son, but because of her congenital heart disease, the young girl couldn't even have sex, let alone get pregnant.

Of course, if they simply wanted a child, the Sakayanagi family could certainly use surrogacy or other technological means.

However, at Sakurajima, such behavior is prohibited by industry self-regulation and would be condemned by society.

Children born in this way not only face issues with paternity verification, but also cannot inherit Sakayanagi Narimori's political identity.

In short, if his heart ailment cannot be cured, Sakayanagi Arisu will most likely have no chance of inheriting the Sakayanagi family.

Therefore, for her future, Sakayanagi Narimori may already be helping her build connections so that she can continue to live a relaxed and happy life in her later years.

Even so, what does it mean that the other party allowed Sakayanagi Arisu to get close to him?

Speechless, Shun Aragaki certainly doesn't think he'll develop a Platonic, spiritual love...

.........

After my morning run and breakfast.

Seeing that the weather outside was quite hot, Shun Aragaki originally planned to stay in the apartment and enjoy the air conditioning, but unexpectedly, the student council suddenly sent an email.

Some were curious about what had happened that required them to call him over.

Shun Aragaki greeted Chihiro Shiranami and then simply walked out of the apartment.

Because of his talent [Sun's Kinship], the heat in mid-August, though somewhat unbearable, actually enhanced his physical strength.

However, there are reasons why Shun Aragaki doesn't want to go out—

As students dressed in casual clothes, wearing sun hats, or carrying parasols passed by the teenager, a certain sense of entitlement suddenly arose.

"Isn't that Shun Aragaki from Class 1-A? I heard that he led the entire first-year class to a total of 1730 class evaluation scores and 85 million individual points in the two special exams during the summer vacation."

"It really is him. To achieve this level during the summer break of the first semester, even Nan Yunya is far inferior!"

"Both of them are vice presidents of the student council and both started from Class B to fight their way up to Class A. But Shun Aragaki was much faster at integrating the first-year students. It took Masaru Nagumo a whole year to completely suppress the second-year Class B."

"I don't think I've ever heard of anyone dropping out in first grade, have I?"

"No one dropped out, but several people wanted to transfer to Class A. Even if the result was the same, the two people did things differently."

"I'm so envious. Not a single student dropped out, and they even helped transfer students to other classes. Compared to Nagumo, Aragaki Shun seems much more kind."

"Keep your voice down. If Nagumo hears you say that, you're in for a world of trouble..."

As Aragaki Shun passed by, students cast various complex glances in his direction.

Because of his exceptionally keen hearing, the boy could hear even the whispers coming from the corners.

However, such attention-grabbing situations are not uncommon for Shun Aragaki.

The reason his popularity has surged again in a short period of time is simply due to the news of the two special exams.

Regardless of whether these people were amazed or shocked, when Aragaki Shun glanced over, no one dared to deliberately provoke him.

The only noteworthy thing is that this group of people started comparing him to Nan Yunya.

It seems like someone is deliberately stirring up trouble?

Given Nagumo's competitive nature, hearing such remarks would surely ignite his fighting spirit against him.

However, since the two were rivals in the student council, this matter was irrelevant.

Ignoring the unwanted stares, Shun Aragaki walked straight toward the student council activity room.

Upon arriving at the destination, I knocked on the door twice familiarly, and only after hearing a sound from inside did I push the door open and go in.

"President Horikita and Vice President Nagumo..." Looking at his two familiar colleagues, Shun Aragaki was somewhat surprised. "Even Akane-senpai Tachibana isn't here. What's going on?"

correct!

Shun Aragaki walked into the student council room and, upon looking around, only saw Manabu Horikita and Masashi Nagumo.

This is really strange.

His gaze shifted somewhat subtly to a certain blond-haired man. Based on his observations of the student council, this vice president seemed to have a deep-seated obsession with President Horikita.

If you want to play any games, don't include me!

While inwardly complaining, Shun Aragaki outwardly asked with a straight face:

"What student council work is off-limits even to the secretary?"

209. Nagumo Masayuki's Challenge; The Generous Money-Giving Boy

"What student council work is off-limits even to the secretary?"

Upon hearing Shun Aragaki's question, Manabu Horikita simply gestured for him to sit in the remaining seat, then pushed up his reflective glasses, "The school has made new arrangements regarding the sports festival next semester."

With a slight furrow in his brow, the student council president seemed somewhat displeased with the situation, but still calmly explained:

"The school intends to promote competition among the three grades during the sports festival. Some rules have now been delegated to the student council, which requires the three of us to negotiate."

"I see!" Shun Aragaki chuckled, a playful expression on his lips. "So the school finally thinks the internal competition between the three grades is too boring and is preparing to revise the special exam format?"

This is something that can be understood with a little thought.

From the school's perspective, the internal competition among the three grades has largely reached a point where the outcome is already decided. If no external factors are involved, the winners who will graduate from Class A in the next three years can be determined right now.

Horikita's class is doing well; they only have two semesters left before graduation and have already withstood the test of more than two years. Even now, Class 3B is still persevering.

The problems with the first and second grades were far more serious. These two grades were almost completely integrated by Aragaki Shun and Nagumo Masaru. The remaining rebels, even if they had ideas, were powerless to make any changes.

If the status quo is maintained and everything is allowed to develop freely, then the five semesters after the second year and the eight semesters after the first year will become Class A's playground.

During this period, the highly developed educational philosophy of class competition will completely collapse and become utterly meaningless.

Therefore, Aragaki Shun had anticipated the school's interference.

And this isn't necessarily a bad thing for him—

The fact that he could force the school to change was a testament to his influence, and the expansion of class competition made it easier for him to acquire source power.

"So what specific changes are involved, and what rules can the student council participate in formulating?"

Somewhat curiously, I looked at the desk in front of him, where a rather heavy document lay.

According to the highly developed rules and regulations, the student council was indeed granted the power to change school rules within a certain scope.

But prior to this, Shun Aragaki had never actually experienced this situation.

After all, Horikita Manabu is a relatively conservative student council president.

He will maintain the status quo unless necessary, and will not use his power to bring about change.

"I was right, Horikita-senpai. Aragaki-kun must be just as happy as I am about this change."

Before Horikita Manabu could respond, Nagumo Masaru suddenly spoke up.

He had a bright smile on his face and looked very happy.

After all, the sports festival will be changed to a competition among the three grades, which is exactly what he wanted to do, as he has always longed to play against Horikita Manabu.

During his time in the student council, Nagumo launched countless provocations, but Horikita Manabu always managed to defuse them with ease.
