Shun, Chihiro, and Mimi were on their way back to Class A when Kikyo Kushida and Megumi Karuizawa showed up at their door.

Then, they received an unexpected message from the two of them.

"Oh, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji has transferred to Class B."

Shun Aragaki raised an eyebrow. "Even a transfer ticket requires 200 million personal points. Where did he get the money?"

After subconsciously asking this question, Shun Aragaki quickly eliminated one option after another in his mind and finally decided on the answer: Sae Chabashira.

First of all, there's no need to consider the various shops in the shopping mall. He's tried them himself, and the school restricts these shop assistants even more than the faculty members, completely prohibiting them from participating in class competitions between students.

Besides, the only way to get more than 200 million personal points at once without any action is to farm rich people's gold coins, without any special exams.

Among the first-year students, only he and Kanzaki Ryuji could come up with this amount of money all at once. Most of the second-year students' personal points were in the hands of Nagumo Masaru. The third-year students in Class A and Class B were relatively wealthy, but they had no reason to support a flawed product who was in Class D and had a reputation as a peeping tom.

Therefore, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji's funds must have come from faculty members.

But after Sakayanagi Arisu walked this road, it was practically ruined.

Not all teachers specifically accumulate personal points. The fact that they could extract 20 million in transfer fees from this group of people only speaks volumes about Sakayanagi's status.

If it were Ayanokouji, even if he brought up the creator of the White Room, few faculty members would pay him any attention.

However, Shun Aragaki happens to know a female teacher who meticulously saves a lot of personal points every day, and who happens to have a close relationship with Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

"According to Hoshinomiya, Chabashira Sae has taught two classes of students over six years, which is about 77 months. Her personal points may have exceeded ten million."

"But her wish was for the school to send her a Joker card so that she could move Class D to Class A, so she couldn't just pay money to send Ayanokouji to Class B."

"So, that woman was caught red-handed by her own student, and even her secret stash of money was stolen?"

Having guessed the whole story in his mind, Shun Aragaki was surprised for a moment, then put it out of his mind.

Somewhat unexpectedly, that masterpiece that defied all comprehension actually began to take action.

But for him, this wasn't something he needed to be too wary of.

After all, there are no other extraordinary powers in this world, and the so-called "man-made geniuses" can only achieve so much.

Given the current situation of the first-year students, the opponent's influence is far less than that of Koenji Rokusuke, so there is no immediate threat.

"So, after losing Ayanokouji, Class D now only has 32 people?"

Shun Aragaki looked at Kushida and Karuizawa with great interest. "The personal points you earned this month are not enough to pay off my debts, so the students of Class D asked you to come and discuss the situation with me?"

There are only 40 students in a class. After just one semester, 4 students dropped out of class D and 4 transferred to other classes, reducing the total number of students by one-fifth.

What bad luck! There won't be many combatants left for special exams in the future, given the already large number of openly available personnel shortages.

"Yes, mainly Shinohara Satsuki. She seems to really dislike Ayanokouji, who used to be a friend of Yamauchi and the others. She suggested in class that he pay for the missing personal points, and if he didn't have enough money and violated the contract, he would also have to take responsibility."

"Although some people objected, most students thought it was okay to do it, so after class, he disappeared."

"It wasn't until the classmates saw each other in Class B's classroom that they realized Ayanoji had somehow joined Class B."

Kikyo Kushida looked embarrassed, but inwardly she was cursing.

With the total debt remaining constant, the fewer people in the class there are, the more individual points the remaining students have to share.

Horikita Suzune has a great older brother who directly helped her get into Class A, which is really annoying.

Damn it, they all chose to run away, leaving them with an increasingly heavy mess to deal with!

And what exactly is the story behind Ayanokoji Kiyotaka?

That bastard hid it well! Where did he get the money to transfer classes?

"If nothing unexpected happens, the personal points that Ayanokouji has should have been given to him by Chabashira Sae."

"According to Hoshinomiya-sensei, Chabashira-sensei has always wanted to be promoted to Class A, so since she started teaching, she has been saving every penny and has accumulated more than ten million personal points."

After thinking for a moment, Shun Aragaki directly stated his guess, and then pointed it out to the two of them:

"You can go and confront that teacher, and ask her what she really thinks."

Karuizawa Megumi: "???"

Kikyo Kushida: "???"

Teacher Chazhu has accumulated over ten million personal points in order to help the class advance to Class A?

What language is this? Why can't they understand it at all?

Putting aside Chashu Sae's savings, has that woman made any move to advance towards Class A since the start of the semester?

Isn't she just making sarcastic remarks to the students in Class D every day and dragging them down in every way? How does she expect to be promoted to Class A?

"Aragaki-kun, you're not kidding, are you?"

"Haha~ This joke is really good. I'll tell it to the class later, and it should make most of them laugh."

Seeing Kikyo Kushida's tense face and unwillingness to accept reality, Shun Aragaki shrugged and said naturally:

"Unfortunately, I've never had a knack for telling jokes, so everything I'm saying is true."

"As for why the behavior and ideas of the tea pillar instructor are inconsistent... you can ask him about that."

The leader of Class A said that he really didn't want to speculate too much about the thinking of fools, lest he be accidentally corrupted by their amazing wisdom.

"...So, Chabashira actually wants us to work hard to get into Class A, but he doesn't want to put in any effort at all, and he suppresses us in various ways, deliberately leading the classmates astray?"

Karuizawa Kei was starting to have doubts about life.

No, is that guy crazy?

"I don't understand either. You guys should go and confront her yourselves and see if you can get the answer out of her."

Shrugging, Shun Aragaki gave his advice and then decided he didn't want to talk about this eccentric woman anymore, so he changed the subject.

"Do you have anything else to do right now? If it's just Ayanokouji transferring classes, an email would suffice. It shouldn't be necessary for you to come all the way here to discuss it with me, right?"

Choked by the boy's blunt words, Karuizawa looked at Shiranami Chihiro, Wang Meiyu, Yamamura Miki, and Ibuki Mio with a hint of resentment.

I know I've interrupted your romance, but in terms of looks, I'm no less attractive than them, so why the discrimination?

"Actually, it's mainly about the debt," Kikyo Kushida explained cheerfully, already used to it. "We don't have enough personal points this month, so everyone in the class wants us to ask Aragaki-san if he can be a little more lenient."

"For example, how about we each keep 1 personal points to cover our living expenses this month, and any debts we can't repay will be carried over to the next month, and we can pay them off together once the class's evaluation score improves?"

Seeing the brown-haired girl clasp her hands in front of her chest, deliberately striking a cute pose, Aragaki Shun smiled slightly and directly asked:

Do you think it's possible?

"Ah, well, after all, Class D is now under Aragaki-san's command, isn't it...?"

"The key issue is that it's still hard to say how much of a role you can actually play."

The leader of Class A said calmly, "If someone like Haruki Yamauchi or Kanji Ike were to suddenly give the school a huge surprise, I wouldn't dare to get involved with you."

"In short, not a single penny of this month's 101 million can be missing. In my eyes, these personal points are much more reliable than the loyalty of Class D."

Without rules, nothing can be accomplished; Shun Aragaki would certainly not postpone the debt of Class D so easily.

If he really did that, he suspected that the people in Class D would come to him every month complaining about being broke, and then just give up and let the debt keep piling up.

Anyway, as long as it's postponed until graduation, then after high school, wouldn't it be equivalent to not having to pay it back at all?

Moreover, the problem is not scarcity but inequality. If the time for Class D is postponed, what will happen to Class C?

"Besides, didn't I give you enough pay during the preferential treatment exam?"

"Don't tell me you've spent all this money in just two weeks!"

At the benefit distribution meeting for the preferential treatment exam, in order to guide the exam towards a result of 1 for everyone, Shun Aragaki promised to give everyone in the three classes A, C, and D 50,000 personal points each, with the preferential treatment students directly taking away 1 million points issued by the school.

It's only been two weeks since that exam, and to say that the people in Class D spent all 5 yuan during the summer vacation...

Hmm... it seems quite possible?

But if a semester passes and they continue to spend so extravagantly, then Class D's promise to postpone debt repayment and pay it off later is even less trustworthy.

“I will pay you well for your work, but you also have to pay me back in full what you owe me.”

"Otherwise, we'll proceed directly with the legal process and renegotiate the contract based on the breach of contract."

"Don't worry, since Class D is still useful, I won't expel them directly. At most, I'll charge you some extra interest."

Kikyo Kushida: "......"

Or, why don't you just designate a jerk who you dislike to drop out of school and then erase this debt?

If Ayanokouji hadn't gone to Class B, I believe everyone in the class would have agreed to this condition.

Or rather, even if it weren't Ayanokouji, but another scapegoat, as long as the other person wasn't very popular in the class, the matter would probably still go through.

How annoying! She's one of the three privileged students in Class D.

In this situation, wouldn't she have to pay out of her own pocket to make up for the shortfall in the debt?

Seeing Aragaki Shun's unwavering expression, the girl could only grimace as she went back with Karuizawa, hoping that the others in the class would be willing to share the burden.

But she knew that this was most likely just wishful thinking.

After all, Kushida is the angel of Class D, isn't she?

She earned 100 million personal points in the preferential treatment exam, while others only had 5, so she naturally had to pay the majority of the points at this point.

Otherwise, the angelic persona would be completely shattered.

Watching the two figures leave, Shun Aragaki could guess the situation Kushida was about to face, but it was the path he had chosen himself, so there was nothing more to say.

Given her status in Class D, and the fact that no one could force her to pay, it was the girl herself who couldn't refuse the requests of those fake friends.

Under these circumstances, Shun Aragaki felt that it was a good thing that Kushida had handed the money over to him.

Otherwise, as time goes by, these 100 million personal points will eventually be borrowed and spent by the people in Class D.

After silently mocking the three-faced man, Shun Aragaki turned his gaze to the other side, to a sporty girl with short blue hair who looked tired and was yawning on the sofa.

Because of her strong will, Ibuki tried to take the lead at the previous party, but was severely punished by Aragaki Shun and has not yet recovered.

"Uh... why are you looking at me like that? You monster, are you still not satisfied?"

Hearing the girl's somewhat panicked words, Shun Aragaki raised an eyebrow and then simply nodded.

"I'm still a bit short, but it's almost time for afternoon classes, so I can continue after school."

Her face turned pale instantly, and Ibuki Mio asked incredulously, "You pervert, are you really human?"

"I'm just a little bit better than the average person."

With a couple of light laughs, the man changed the subject, "But that's not the point right now. Who's collecting Class C's debts?"

"What happened? Ryuen Sho used to collect them, but starting this month, Manabe Shiho said she would handle them. I handed over my share and haven't paid much attention to it since."

That makes sense; an athletic girl like Ibuki doesn't really like getting entangled in trivial matters.

On the contrary, a show-off like Manabe would never miss any opportunity to demonstrate her authority.

"Then when you get back, tell Manabe that Class C's debt doesn't need to be paid off yet, and make sure everyone insists that this is Ryuen Sho's order."

He only remembered that Ryuen was still a potential threat in Class C when he heard that Ayanokouji was transferring to another class.

However, there's really no need to pay too much attention to a tyrant who has lost his claws and teeth.

Aragaki Shun was too lazy to do so much scheming, so he simply had everyone in Class C voluntarily break their contracts and see if he could be kicked out of Advanced Training.

After all, before this month, Long Yuanxiang was indeed the leader of Class C, so when the class contract went wrong, he should bear the greatest responsibility.

"Would this make Ryuen expelled?" Ibuki asked, somewhat puzzled. "But wouldn't the class lose another 300 points?"

“It’s okay, I’ll split the cost with you. If Longyuan is really expelled, then 150 points will be counted as a debt owed to me.”

Stretching, Aragaki Shun stood up and said nonchalantly:

"Those who want to join Class C probably wouldn't mind paying the same price to drive Longyuan out of this school, right?"

238. Does stealing a man really count as stealing?; Rules change at the Sports Festival

The school suddenly issued a notice that the afternoon classes would be changed into two-hour class meetings.

"It's so formal, is it going to be another special exam?"

Back in Class A, Shun Aragaki had just sat down in his seat when he heard Yuki Himeno, who sat behind him, suddenly lean over and ask the same question that everyone in the class wanted to ask.

"More or less," Shun Aragaki nodded, but did not elaborate. "When Hoshinomiya-sensei comes over later, he will give everyone a detailed explanation."

As the vice president of the student council, Shun Aragaki was naturally able to obtain some information in advance. During the summer vacation, he, along with Manabu Horikita and Masaru Nagumo, even participated in some of the rule-making.
