In fact, I can add unlimited points

In other words, given Sakayanagi's situation, even if he were to be absent, he would only lose 9 points in the class evaluation score. This wouldn't be a big loss for Class A, as it's much cheaper than the 30 points he would lose during the exam on the deserted island.

However, the temporary points earned on the deserted island may not be fully converted into class evaluation scores before the exam ends.

From this perspective, the punishments for absentees in the two events were actually quite similar.

"...I see. Thank you very much!"

She gave Hoshinomiya a polite smile. With Sakayanagi's pride, she naturally wouldn't allow herself to be a burden, especially since she had only just joined Class A and hadn't yet made any contributions to prove her strength.

Without hesitation, she turned to the leader of Class A and asked, "Aragaki-kun, would you be willing to take my place 13 times and bring back victory for me in the corresponding events?"

This ambiguous statement caused many people in the class to change their expressions. Bai Boqianxun pursed her lips, wondering if this shorty had some masochistic tendencies.

Last semester, didn't she try to use public opinion to attack Aragaki-kun, only to be beaten up as a result?

Now that he's been forced to transfer to Class A, why is this guy suddenly using such a flirtatious tone with Aragaki-kun?

Indeed, the daughters of such wealthy and powerful families are hard to understand.

Miki Yamamura, who also joined Class A on the same day, had a glint in her eyes. She had been sent by Sakayanagi to follow Aragaki, which led to her being exposed. Their private contact started from that opportunity.

Looking back now, back then, Sakayanagi kept saying she wanted to get revenge on Aragaki-kun, but she was actually quite concerned about him, wasn't she?

From this perspective, she, the subordinate sent out to conduct the investigation, was not only easily manipulated by Aragaki-kun, but was also unwittingly taken to his bed...

A strange feeling rose in Miki's heart.

But the girl quickly shook her head, extinguishing the wild thoughts in her mind.

This is impossible. If Sakayanagi really cared about Aragaki, why would she use such underhanded competitive tactics and spread rumors about him?

You can't just think about ruining the other person's reputation so that they can only look at her from now on, right?

Reality isn't a light novel; you wouldn't expect such a melodramatic plot to happen here.

Meanwhile, Shun Aragaki had no idea what his girlfriends were thinking, but he could feel the strange looks they were giving him.

However, his relationship with Sakayanagi is completely innocent, so he only needs to respond to her without changing his expression.

"There is no problem with me coming on as your substitute, and winning the corresponding event will be a simple matter."

"But there are a total of 13 projects, including those requiring full participation and those requiring recommendations. Each time someone substitutes, it costs 10 personal points, which means a total of 130 million personal points are needed."

"In comparison, if someone applies to not participate, they only lose 9 points in the class evaluation score. From the class's perspective, I don't think your choice is correct."

The calculation is very simple: 9 points in the class evaluation score is equivalent to 900 personal points per person per month. With 48 students in the class and 30 months to go until Class A graduates, that's equivalent to 1,296,000 personal points.

Well, this loss seems to be about the same as 130 million, and class evaluation scores are more meaningful than individual points on the surface.

The problem is, is it the same to pay out 130 million yuan all at once in the second semester as to spread the loss over the next 30 months?

In any case, Shun Aragaki would rather have Sakayanagi absent than use a substitute from the class fund.

He can contribute his time and effort; let Class A pay for it.

Sakayanagi Arisu was well aware of this, so she directly stated that she would pay for the substitute herself.

And so, Class A secured first place for at least two rounds ahead of schedule. Sakayanagi used his individual points to perfectly resolve the issue of missing the Sports Festival, and Aragaki Shun also stated that the physical exertion for two people was nothing, and everyone had a bright future.

"If there are no other questions, let's end this class meeting here."

Looking around the classroom and seeing the enthusiastic discussion among the students, Hoshinomiya answered a few more questions, then stretched and prepared to leave.

"You'll have about half an hour left. You're free to do whatever you want, whether you're chatting casually or having a serious discussion."

"But remember to be on time for the next class at the First Gymnasium. The school is having all 12 classes meet, so don't be late."

After saying this, the homeroom teacher of Class A nodded to Shun Aragaki, Ichinose, and the others, and then simply left the classroom, leaving the remaining time to these class leaders.

Seeing this, Shun Aragaki simply had everyone in the class form small groups to discuss the matter, and then left Ryuji Kanzaki to take charge, after all—

"Actually, there's not much to discuss. The focus of the sports festival is on the hard skills of each class. There's still about a month of training time before the deadline, so filling out the entry form now is pointless."

The most important thing is the class's own strength, followed by the integration within the grade, and then the alliances with other grades.

But these things cannot be accomplished through discussion alone.

So Shun Aragaki simply handed over these minor tasks to Kanzaki, since he was in charge of the cram school arrangements and knew the progress of everyone in the class like the back of his hand.

As for himself... feeling Ichinose Honami's blatant gaze, the boy thought for a moment and then rested his head on the shoulder of his deskmate, Shiina Hiyori.

The gaze coming from the pink-haired girl became even more intense the next moment.

Aragaki Shun: "..."

Doesn't this archangel look a little heavy now? It's like he's about to devour you. Where did your usual poise and reserve go?

The boy silently grumbled to himself, inwardly rubbing his forehead.

No wonder Chihiro is so trusting of everyone, yet she is noticeably wary of her best friend in matters of the heart.

It should be noted that the girl knew he and Hiyori had a deep relationship, but she never cared and always maintained a "live and let live" attitude.

Incidentally, Hiyori's attitude seems to be similar; the two seem to be on completely different tracks and have never had any conflict so far.

It seems that the only person Chihiro Shirami truly considered a major enemy and guarded against was her best friend, Koho.

According to his girlfriend, Ichinose seemed to have a lewd figure, a beautiful face, and a gentle and considerate personality; she was practically a perfect being.

But no human being is perfect. While these are the true aspects she presents to the outside world, they cannot encompass the entirety of the pink-haired girl.

Beneath her outwardly tolerant exterior, Ichinose harbors a particularly heavy inner world.

The girl once complained to him that she always felt that once her best friend fell for her boyfriend, she would go all out and try to monopolize Aragaki Shun with her broad-mindedness and doting attitude.

In other words, she felt that Ichinose might be ruthless and turn around and drive her away.

Shun Aragaki was speechless, but he was very curious about why Chihiro made that judgment.

The answer he received was the so-called "woman's sixth sense," which left him speechless, since he often relied on his intuition to make decisions.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, he also vaguely sensed that something was wrong with the archangel.

However, this doesn't seem to be a difficult problem for him.

After all, he already has a little angel named Ayase at home.

Ichinose's level is nothing special...

.........

"I am Fujimaki from Class 3-A, and I will be the presenter for this sports festival."

When the second class meeting arrived, more than 400 students and teachers from the whole school gathered at the first gymnasium.

The person who came forward to explain the situation was a third-year senior. As a member of the student council, he was practically Horikita Manabu's direct subordinate.

"First, I have a suggestion for the first-year students. Although some of you may think it's unnecessary, please remember that the sports festival is very important."

"The experience gained at the sports festival will definitely be useful elsewhere. Many of the upcoming exams may seem like a game at first glance, but each one will become a crucial battle for survival at school."

Listening to the vague advice from the senior students, most of the first-year students didn't feel much, only that the other person was as long-winded as some leaders.

Perhaps it's because he didn't say anything useful at all, and what he said was mostly just feel-good platitudes.

"Perhaps right now everyone doesn't feel the impact or have much motivation. But since we're participating, we have to win. We must remember this feeling and make it a shared understanding."

Seemingly sensing the impatience of the audience, Fujimaki quickly shortened her speech and ended it:

"In short, from now on, everyone should gather in their respective groups and discuss on their own."

Thus, the simple briefing session came to an end. Shun Aragaki asked Ichinose to lead the Class A members to find a place to rest, while he, Ryuji Kanzaki, and Hiyori Shiina went to the area for Class C and Class D.

Because Ibuki Mio, Karuizawa Megumi, and others had been notified via email before the gathering, everyone from both classes was already present when the three of them arrived.

Oh, no, actually there's one person missing.

After looking around at all the classmates present and confirming that he hadn't misread it,

Shun Aragaki asked Mio Ibuki directly, "Where did Ryuen go? Has he been up to anything lately?"

"I'm not entirely sure about that," the athletic girl said, her brow furrowing slightly, clearly annoyed. "That person skipped class and ran out during the first class meeting after Sakagami-sensei finished explaining the rules of the sports festival."

Leaving the classroom before the bell rings will definitely result in a deduction of class evaluation points.

In Ibuki's eyes, Ryuen couldn't possibly be unaware of this, yet he still did it.

Without a doubt, the other party did it on purpose.

"I see. It seems he's planning some underhanded tactics again."

Nodding calmly, Aragaki Shun wasn't too surprised. That thug who called himself a tyrant was not one to give up easily.

But it doesn't matter, after today, his casual strike will come upon his opponent.

At that point, the best outcome for Longyuan would be being taken in by Class B; it's impossible for her to stay in Class C.

"Never mind him, let's just move forward at our own pace. Now let the students from Class C and Class D come over first. I want to clarify the goal of this sports festival."

.........

Meanwhile, Ryuen, whom Aragaki Shun considers a cockroach, has already approached Nagumo Masaru's second-year class, Class A.

"You mean, you can help me take control of Class C in the first year?"

Nan Yunya crossed her legs and looked with great interest at the arrogant hoodlum who called himself the leader of Class C. She sent her classmates out to keep watch.

By taking Aragaki Shun as his hypothetical enemy, he naturally knew about all the influential students in the first year and was also aware of Ryuen Sho's current predicament.

"Heh~ You think you can beat a stray dog ​​like you? I know that since the deserted island exam, even your two most loyal subordinates have completely sided with Aragaki Shun."

"So what?" Long Yuanxiang remained defiant. "All those who betrayed me, I will make them pay the price sooner or later!"

Nagumo smiled and remained silent, clearly unimpressed by his boastful remarks.

If threatening words were effective, he would have been thoroughly vilified by those who hate him long ago.

However, this kind of arrogant mad dog is actually quite interesting to train, and since he is in Class C of the first year and was once the class leader, he could indeed play a significant role.

"Hmph~ Let me see what kind of trouble you can cause."

“Tell me your plans and conditions, and I will judge whether or not to provide support based on your value.”

Seeing Nan Yun's boastful attitude, Long Yuanxiang's eyes lit up. Facing this sucker, he immediately made an outrageous demand—

"Give me 20 million personal points; this is an essential bargaining chip for a direct confrontation with Shun Aragaki."

Nan Yunya: "???"

Do you think I'm an idiot?!

241. Nangumo: I can do it too; Ryuen is afraid of school bullying?

Twenty million personal points?

You really dare to say that!

Hearing Long Yuanxiang's proposed conditions, Nan Yunya almost laughed in anger.

This was the first time he had ever encountered someone who treated him like a fool to his face, daring to make such an outrageous demand.

They're absolutely courting death!

After giving Long Yuan a cold look, as if she wanted to remember him completely, Nan Yunya got up and prepared to leave the activity room.

"It seems I was too hasty, actually believing that a fool like you could cause Aragaki some trouble."

"Sure enough, there's still too much trash in this school. If we really want to uphold the principle of merit above all else, we should clean up some of the non-combustible materials."

However, faced with this threat from the strongest second-year student, Viper, who firmly believed in the supremacy of violence, showed no fear whatsoever.

A mocking smile played on Long Yuanxiang's lips as he coldly sneered, "With your kind of magnanimity, how could you almost unify the entire grade? It seems that all the second-year students are useless, which is why another useless person who isn't much stronger got to the top."

Twenty million points is indeed a lot, but to think of leaving just because of a number, this guy who is considered on par with Shun Aragaki in the eyes of the upperclassmen seems to be nothing special.

It's worth noting that after Longyuan figured out the truth about this school, their initial promotion plan involved gathering 800 million personal points, allowing all 40 students in the class to graduate from Class A.

However, plans are plans, and reality is reality.

No matter how wonderful your fantasies are, if you encounter an insurmountable enemy and are easily crushed, all your hopes will become nothing but a fleeting dream.

However, this did not stop Longyuan from using this opportunity to mock Nan Yunya's stinginess.

Putting himself in his shoes, if he had 20 million, he would not hesitate at all if he was certain that it would cause some trouble for Shinjuku.

Of course, Longyuan is no longer pursuing that abandoned plan.
