In fact, I can add unlimited points

Kazuma Sakagami looked completely颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it conveys a sense of listlessness, apathy, or dejection) like a corporate slave, seemingly quite helpless about the scene before him.

Moving your gaze directly ahead, to the area representing student council members, you'll find Horikita Manabu and Tachibana Akane from the third year, Nagumo Masaru from the second year and his confidants, and Aragaki Shun from the first year and his subordinates Ichinose and Ibuki Mio... all three factions are present.

"Normally, a dispute of this scale should only require Secretary Ju to handle, right? Is it really necessary to expend so much manpower?"

"Mr. Hoshinomiya is joking. This issue involves both the first-year and second-year vice presidents. In principle, only my presence can yield a more ideal result. Besides, the school has entrusted me with the responsibility of handling student council affairs."

Horikita Manabu's expression turned serious. After explaining briefly, he gestured for the students from Class A of the first year to sit in the seats opposite Class C.

After the three of them sat down, Shun Aragaki also got up and sat down next to Hiyori Shiina.

Naturally, his role in this matter was that of a member of the plaintiff's side, not as the student council vice president acting as a referee.

Seeing this, Akane-senpai took a step forward and began to explain the relevant matters—

"Regarding the breach of contract that occurred today, we will now begin a questioning session between the student council, those involved, and the class advisors. I, the student council secretary, will preside over the meeting."

Secretary Ju began to explain the summary of the incident to both parties in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

In short, the Ryuen class had signed an agreement with A-class Shinjuku Shun, requiring them to transfer 192 million personal points to the latter on the first day of each month after the class evaluation scores were updated.

But now September 1st has passed, and Shun Aragaki has not received the corresponding debt at all.

When questioned, the students in Class C unanimously stated that Long Yuanxiang, as the leader of Class C, forbade them from making private transfers and decided to unilaterally break the contract notarized by the school.

Ryu Yuanxiang, of course, would not admit to such accusations.

"—Based on the above circumstances, we hope to find out which side's claim is true."

After concluding her explanation in a serious manner and entering work mode, Secretary Tachibana Akane inexplicably gave off a cold and aloof feeling, as if she were not going to smile.

After looking around at the two classes that were trying to understand the current situation, and waiting for them to finish processing the relevant information, the senior with the bun hairstyle first looked at the team of Class C in the first year, where Long Yuanxiang was located.

"Excuse me, Ryuen-kun, is it true that Aragaki-kun from Class A claims that you unilaterally tore up the debt contract notarized by the school?"

Faced with Secretary Tachibana Akane's direct questioning, the red-haired delinquent remained indifferent and did not respond immediately. Instead, he glanced at Kaneda Satoru and Ishizaki Daichi beside him, and then turned his gaze to Sakagami Kazuma, who was practically an outsider.

The first two had tense faces, and although they didn't say anything, it was as if they had said everything.

When the latter met his gaze, he simply sighed and gave him a helpless look.

Suddenly, the former tyrant deeply understood what it truly felt like to be betrayed and abandoned by everyone.

Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Senior Tachibana's delicate eyebrows twitched, and she could only speak again to emphasize:

"Please cooperate with the student union in a proper manner, otherwise you will have to bear all the consequences yourself."

"Hehe~ As you can see, I'm currently hated by everyone in Class C. They're too busy isolating me to let me control the class's finances."

Suppressing his emotions, Long Yuanxiang crossed his arms, his demeanor suddenly becoming even colder and more ruthless.

He was never one to dwell on the past. Those useless things were gone, but sooner or later, he would personally take everything back from that man.

To achieve this goal, all he needs to do now is ensure that he is not expelled from school.

"Therefore, this accusation is just nonsense. Class C's unwillingness to fulfill the debt agreement must be the collective will of everyone in the class, and it is not something that I, an ordinary student, can influence."

“That’s not right,” Shun Aragaki suddenly said in the face of Ryuen’s immediate denial. “Class C’s debt started accumulating from the beginning of the first year of school. From April to August, the money that was transferred to my personal points account on each repayment date all came from Ryuen himself.”

To prove this, Shun Aragaki specifically provided the corresponding monthly transfer records, and the repayment account on them all indeed showed Ryuen Sho.

In fact, all three lower-level classes are in the same situation. On each repayment date, the class leader will collect personal points and transfer them to Shun Aragaki's personal account in one lump sum.

From this perspective, it is clearly unconvincing to say that Long Yuanxiang was not the leader who controlled the class's finances.

Or rather, he had this status before the preferential treatment exam, but lost the corresponding functions starting this month.

"On the other hand, Kaneda and Ishizaki also collected the transfer records of other students in the class on the monthly repayment date. These materials can prove that in the past, the flow of funds in Class C was always controlled by Ryuen Sho alone."

After Shun Aragaki finished speaking, the two boys, who should have been on the same side as Ryuen, seemed to have abandoned their allegiance to the light and voluntarily handed over the prepared evidence to the student council members for review.

Nan Yunya: "..."

Yesterday afternoon, I said that nothing would happen in the short term, but the plan was dealt a heavy blow right at the beginning. This pawn is just too useless!

But the sunk costs are there; if we just stand by and watch them die, those four million will be completely wasted.

In this situation, no matter how unhappy he was, Nagumo had no choice but to step forward and provide support to Ryuen.

245. Nagumo's lame jokes; undeniable facts.

"It seems there's no need to continue arguing."

Seeing that Aragaki Shun was well-prepared, the student council president, who had previously remained silent, seemed to be ready to end the dispute.

"The fact that Class C of Grade 1 breached the contract is obvious. Based on the existing evidence, a judgment should be made..."

“Wait a minute, Horikita-senpai!” Nangumo Masa suddenly stepped forward to express her opinion, “Isn’t it a bit too hasty to make a judgment like this?”

"These transfer records only prove that Long Yuanxiang was still the leader of Class C in the first year before August."

"But we all know that during the summer vacation, the first graders also experienced two special exams with huge scores. Under such circumstances, it is normal for Long Yuanxiang to lose in the class competition and withdraw from the leadership of Class C."

In fact, this is the current situation of Class C in the first grade.

Anyone who has paid special attention to the situation in the first grade has received information that Ryuen has lost his leadership of the class.

"From what I understand, there's no place for Longyuan in Class C of the first year anymore. He's been ostracized by everyone in the class and is being bullied through passive-aggressive behavior, forced to hide alone in his dormitory..."

"Nagamo-senpai really knows how to lie through his teeth!" Before the other person could finish speaking, Aragaki Shun showed an amused expression. "You actually said that Ryuen Sho would be isolated by Class C and could only hide in the dormitory and cry all by himself? Does he look like he's being bullied at school?"

It's a joke that any first-grader would find utterly cold; how could he possibly say it?

"If we really want to get to the point about why Ryuen was hiding in the dorm, then let's first discuss what exactly Nagumo-senpai and Ryuen talked about or did during the half hour or so they were alone in the room yesterday afternoon?"

She was perfectly fine yesterday, so how come after spending some time with you, Nanyun, she suddenly became so depressed that she's afraid to leave her dorm?

If there's any special reason behind this, compared to his classmates in Class C, Nan Yun is definitely the most suspicious person who came into contact with him at the end!

"Should we request surveillance access from the school so that everyone can confirm Longyuan's specific itinerary yesterday afternoon?"

Looking at the blond-haired senior with a half-smile, Aragaki Shun didn't mind at all, letting the rumors between the two of them get even darker.

"If Ryuen has really become withdrawn because of being isolated in class, then why did he suddenly meet with Nagumo-senpai? It can't be that he went to seek comfort from his senior, can it?"

Upon hearing this conclusion, Tachibana Akane and the others could hardly contain their laughter.

Horikita Manabu showed a hint of helplessness on his face. Looking at the two men with gloomy expressions, he tapped the table with his finger, signaling everyone present not to change the subject.

"The student council needs to be based on evidence when it comes to handling matters. There is currently no evidence to show that Long Yuanxiang was bullied by everyone in Class C, but it is an undeniable fact that he has been in control of Class C's finances for the past few months."

"Therefore, the inferences about Vice Chairman Nagumo should not be adopted in principle."

From the school's perspective, those transfer records have confirmed that Long Yuanxiang, as the leader of Class C, is the primary person responsible for this debt.

It would be easy for him to refute this fact: he only needs to produce the most recent records to prove that the person in charge has been transferred to someone else.

Alternatively, the relevant responsibilities can be handed over publicly under the notarization of the school.

However, if neither of these methods works, then I'm sorry, the student council can only assume that the other party still holds the corresponding power, as was the case in the previous months.

This situation is similar to a business in society where the boss's prestige drops significantly due to poor business performance, but the other party is still the primary person in charge of various projects.

You can't just say "I can't manage my subordinates right now" and then push the responsibility that this position should bear onto someone else, can you?

As for the claim that it's obvious to anyone with eyes that Class C's breach of contract was actually a scheme orchestrated by Shun Aragaki and the rest of Class C... if someone truly had eyes, they could also see that Ryuen Sho's sudden absence from class and hiding in the dormitory was a deliberate attempt to lower Class C's evaluation score.

This is just how class competition has always been.

As the class leader, I've already been abandoned by everyone in the class, so what's the point of struggling?

"If Longyuan cannot provide other evidence to prove that this breach of contract is unrelated to him, then I will take appropriate action now."

Horikita Manabu interlaced his fingers, seemingly to remind Ryuen Sho, but his attention was actually entirely on Nagumo Masaru.

Based on his understanding of this junior, he knew that he wasn't the type to give up easily.

As it turned out, the student council president was right. Everyone present could see that Nagumo Miya glanced coldly at Aragaki Shun, then turned to Horikita Manabu and said:

"Even if Longyuan is indeed the primary person responsible for this default, today is only one day past the repayment date."

"The most crucial aspect of this contract regarding individual points should be its ability to measure whether the indebted class can repay the debt. However, it is obvious that Class C of the first year has 1028 evaluation points, which is more than enough to fulfill this debt contract."

"Therefore, we only need to have this class make up for the debt that was not repaid by the due date, and at most add one day's penalty interest. I wonder if Horikita-senpai thinks my approach is feasible?"

When faced with Nagumo's suggestion, Horikita Manabu did not answer immediately, but instead turned his gaze to Aragaki Shun.

As a highly developed conservative, he has always insisted on upholding school rules, believing that whether it is a graduate of Class A or a student from other lower-ranked classes, everyone can grow through three years of class competition. Therefore, he opposes Nan Yunya's advocacy of prioritizing individual ability and expelling all incompetent students.

In his opinion, it was only a one-day overdue debt, so there was no need to escalate it to the point of dropping out of school. Nanyun's suggestion was also quite feasible.

However, whether or not this should be implemented depends on the opinion of another vice president, who is also involved in the matter.

“What Senior Nagumo said makes sense, but I still have some materials that the student council needs to review. It’s not too late for the president to make a decision after we’ve reviewed them.”

With a smile, he clapped his hands, and Ryuji Kanzaki immediately handed over his file folder.

While waiting for Horikita Manabu to review the document, the boy noticed Nagumo Masashi's furrowed brows and suddenly spoke up, seemingly unintentionally—

"I'm a little curious, how much support did you give Longyuan when you met with him yesterday?"

"Is it 200 million, 300 million, 400 million, or 500 million...?"

It seems there are only 400 million.

Tsk tsk~ the haul is alright, I guess...

246. Establish unified rules and regulations; initially set the target at six classes.

"The final compensation we secured was 500 million personal points, but Longyuan should have around 400 million in disposable funds."

After the student council's arbitration concluded, Shun Aragaki, Kanzaki, and Hiyori, along with Mio Ibuki and Satoru Kaneda, arrived at Class C's classroom.

Facing the expectant gazes of the Class C members, who were eager to know the outcome of the appeal, Shun Aragaki didn't keep them in suspense and directly announced the student council's proposed solution.

"By the way, I have also obtained the right to renegotiate the relevant contracts with everyone in Class C, adding or modifying some conditions. I came to Class C's classroom today for this very reason."

Shun Aragaki exchanged a glance with Mio Ibuki and Shiho Manabe, the two representatives of Class C, and his memory returned to the last scene of the previous conflict.

The materials he handed over to the student council president at the time were actually a debt contract worth 20 yen that he had forced Ryu Yuanxiang to sign when he retaliated against Class C's stalking in May.

Under the conditions at the time, Ryuen himself and Class C's homeroom teacher, Kazuma Sakagami, had to transfer 20 personal points to Shun Aragaki every month.

However, later on, Kazuma Sakagami's debts remained, but Sho Ryuen's debts had been spread among all the students in Class C.

Therefore, starting in July, Shun Aragaki stopped calculating Ryuen's debt separately and only looked at the total debt of Class C as a whole.

This kind of thing wasn't a big deal when Ryu Yuanxiang was the leader of Class C. After all, he was a gang leader who forced everyone in the class to pay protection money, so it was only natural that he would transfer his debts to the class.

The problem is that he is no longer the leader of Class C, so his act of plundering the personal points of everyone in the class for his own benefit needs to be thoroughly investigated.

If no one reports this kind of thing, where the whole class is forced to pay protection money, the student council will not deliberately get involved; they will only treat it as a cohesive strategy within the class.

But now that everyone in Class C is protesting together, and there are past transfer records to prove it, the nature of this matter has completely changed, and it's almost no different from extortion.

"At my insistence, the president finally ruled that Longyuan should compensate the members of Class C for their losses, and transfer 500 million personal points in one lump sum."

In fact, from May until graduation three years later, there should be a total of 35 months. If we calculate 20 per month, Long Yuanxiang's final debt as a whole in Class C should be 700 million personal points.

The amount was reduced to 500 million because it was to be paid off in one lump sum. If the debt cannot be paid off within three days, the student will be forced to drop out of school.

However, Shun Aragaki believes that Dragon Boy won't die so easily.

After all, Nan Yun, this sucker, has already invested 400 million. Even if he doesn't care about this sunk cost, just for the sake of his own face, he will definitely swallow his resentment and make up the remaining 100 million.

Otherwise, if the pawn he just acquired yesterday is forced to drop out of school by the student council's rival the very next day, where would he put his face?

"Then there's the distribution of these 500 million personal points. As a reward for helping you reclaim this benefit, I need 400 million of them, and the remaining 100 million will be distributed among Class C members according to their contributions. What do you think of this suggestion?"

It is worth mentioning that, nominally, the compensation awarded by the student council was given to Class C as a whole, not to Shun Aragaki.

After all, Ryuen's operation was to transfer its own debts to all the members of Class C by collecting protection fees, so Aragaki Shun, as the creditor, actually suffered no loss.

Of the 192 million personal points that Class C needs to repay to him each month, the 20 monthly debt owed by Longyuan is fully included.

Therefore, the subsequent dispute was actually just an internal conflict within Class C. It was only because the latter was powerless that they entrusted Aragaki Shun to help punish Ryuen.

As for why the commission fee could be as high as 80%... the leader of Class A said that he was just doing his job, and that Class C was just too generous and enthusiastic.

“Of course there’s no problem,” Shiho Manabe stepped forward immediately to state her position. “We never thought we would be able to get this money back from Ryuen.”

"This is entirely thanks to Aragaki-kun, and he should rightfully take the lion's share."

The other students in Class C heard this and had no objections.

After all, under Longyuan's violent rule in the past, they had always only paid money and never expected to receive any compensation.

To put it simply, after Class C paid off their debts in May, everyone had only 23,000 personal points left, barely enough for a month's living expenses.
