In fact, I can add unlimited points

"Ayanokouji boy is absolutely right. As long as we perform normally, we can become the second place in the winning group and get at least 450 class evaluation points."

"This is equally significant for Class B. Why would we agree to let Nan Yun boy cause trouble for the first-year students for no reason?"

Excluding Ryuen, Class A had 11 more students than Class B, and even Rokusuke Koenji wasn't confident he could take first place from Shun Aragaki.

However, with him and Kiyotaka Ayanokouji present, Class B's overall strength was more than enough to suppress Class C, whose numbers were similar to theirs, and Class D, which was severely injured.

Therefore, based on pure strength, it was almost inevitable that their class would take second place in the winning group.

“But this will only widen the gap between you and Class A.” Long Yuanxiang pointed this out bluntly.

Within the winning group, the top four teams will receive class evaluation scores of 600, 450, 300, and 150 respectively.

The other three classes were all under Shinjiro Aragaki's control, and their combined total score was at least 600 points higher than that of Class B.

If something unexpected happens, Class B might even lose to Class C in the sports festival and fail to get even 450 points.

“This is irrelevant,” Koenji said, picking up the mirror. He seemed to have no desire to talk to Ryuen any longer. “What Class B lacks most right now is a sufficient amount of personal points.”

"There are still two and a half years to go. What does it matter if we fall behind in class evaluation scores for a while!"

In the history of mainland China, there is a strategy for conquering the country called "build high walls, store up grain, and delay declaring yourself king".

Meili felt that this was perfect for the resource-scarce Class B. Only by accumulating sufficient foundation and gradually narrowing the gap with Class A could he gain the qualification to compete with Aragaki Shun in his final year before graduation.

Before that, a brief period of dormancy is necessary; temporary setbacks are not important.

Of course, if a big fat sheep is willing to provide support and help him shorten the accumulation time, he wouldn't mind putting on a show and making the fool happy.

Upon hearing this, Katsuragi Kohei nodded secretly.

If they perform to their full potential, Class B can secure at least 450 class evaluation points, which translates to 45,000 personal points per person per month, enough to further alleviate the class's financial crisis.

In this light, it is indeed unnecessary to deliberately aim for the last place in the losing group in order to close the gap by a little bit, resulting in the loss of 100 class evaluation points.

However, he was too naive and, unlike Ryuen Sho, failed to detect the ill intent in Koenji's words.

"Heh~ So this guy, he's also eyeing Nan Yunya's wallet, trying to squeeze every last drop of value out of her?"

Having realized this, the red-haired delinquent and the chaebol's only son exchanged a glance, both seeing the deeper meaning in each other's eyes.

Naturally, joining another faction requires a pledge of allegiance.

Now it's his turn, the future pillar of Class B, to find out what the vice president is all about.

249. A collaboration with ulterior motives; Nagumo wants to fight two opponents at once.

"I see. Class B of Grade 1 is short of individual points, so they pretended to disagree with this win-win cooperation, but actually they just wanted me to pay more?"

Upon hearing Ryuuen Sho's report on the details of his exchange with Koenji and the others, Nami Aya quickly understood what the other person meant, and a slightly disdainful sneer appeared on her face.

"It's laughable that the heir to the prestigious Koenji Zaibatsu would ever be troubled by money."

"No wonder the first-year students were easily defeated by Aragaki Shun. They've already fallen to such a state, yet the leadership of Class B is still so petty. They're the kind of people who are afraid to risk their lives for great things but will risk their lives for small gains."

It seems these guys aren't that great; we can't expect them to cause much damage to Shun Aragaki.

Naturally, Nagumo underestimated several key members of Class 1-B, including Koenji.

As the leader of the second grade, he was used to being high and mighty, so how many people dared to play tricks on him and openly express their desire to take advantage of him?

If it weren't for the upcoming sports festival being even more important, as it involved his competition with Shun Aragaki and Manabu Horikita, he really wanted to play around with these juniors as an upperclassman and show them how he truly ruled the entire second-year class.

"Very well, since my lovely juniors are already in such dire straits, I, as their senior, cannot be stingy and should indeed provide some appropriate assistance."

"I will draft a contract that if Class 1B is willing to come in last place in the Sports Festival, they will receive ten million personal points from me after the event to make up for their loss in class evaluation scores."

The bet between him and Shun Aragaki was exactly 15 million yen. He had previously funded Sho Ryuen with 5 million yen, and the remaining 10 million yen was just enough to win over Class 1-B.

In this way, as long as he wins this sports festival, it would be equivalent to defeating Shun Aragaki without spending a single penny, and also extending his influence to the first-year students.

As for the consequences if we lose...

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

He had never been defeated since entering the Advanced Training Institute and was invincible. At most, he suffered a minor loss against that junior.

But that was just a simple physical contest; how could it compare to a formal class competition?

During this sports festival, the entire second year was under his command, and he also had pieces in the third and first years. His advantage was so great that it was impossible to imagine how he could lose!

After secretly calculating the chips she controlled, Nan Yunya's lips curled into a proud smile. She then looked at Long Yuanxiang, who was about to speak, and before he could utter a word, she gave the order:

"By the way, since they took my money, Class B of the first grade should at least give me something in return."

“From today onwards, you will join that class using a transfer ticket. The required personal points will be deducted from the ten million I gave them.”

In any case, Nan Yunya is not someone who is willing to suffer losses for nothing.

This blond-haired senior also holds Long Yuanxiang's debts in his hands, and he can expel this not-so-useful pawn from school at any time if he wants.

At that time, Class B, which accepted the other party, will lose at least 300 class evaluation points.

Through this combination of hard and soft tactics, alternating between a big stick and a sweet treat, he was naturally able to gradually take control of the still somewhat stubborn Class B in the first year.

Upon hearing this meaningful instruction, the red-haired scoundrel nearly formed a "#" on his brow. Did this bastard really think he was an easy target?!

"...I understand. From now on, I will fight against Shun Aragaki as a member of Class 1-B."

The sound was almost like someone grinding their teeth and squeezing it out.

On the surface, Ryuen Sho actually yielded, so Nagumo didn't care at all about his arrogant attitude.

Unruly and rebellious, huh?

The more stubborn the better; he loves training such interesting subordinates, and that's the joy of dog training!

As for whether Class 1B would agree to his request... Nan Yun wasn't worried about that.

This, to some extent, represents a tacit understanding among the three parties and forms the basis of their cooperation.

Unable to stay in Class C, Ryuu Yuen-sho had no choice but to join Class B; Class B also needed to gather combat power and accumulate personal points; Nagumo Ya was willing to pay, but her condition was that she would place her own people in Class B.

So even if he hadn't made this request, Ryuen Sho and Class B would have naturally ended up together. The reason he deliberately made his presence known was simply to seize the initiative.

To put it bluntly, if he hadn't known that Ryuen Sho had made connections with Class 1-B, he wouldn't have gone out of his way to protect him from the student council.

Even considering sunk costs, if it had absolutely no value, the blond senior wouldn't be foolish enough to be a sucker.

From this perspective, Nan Yunya paid for the placement of people, Long Yuanxiang gained a place in Class B, and Class B of the first year also strengthened its foundation... This cooperation can be described as a win-win choice for all three parties.

As for who will ultimately win and take all, that depends on their respective methods.

“Very good. Then let Rokusuke Koenji come and sign autographs in person. I’ll wait for him in Class 2-A.”

Sitting on the table with her legs crossed, Nan Yunya looked down at the red-haired delinquent in front of her and waved her hand, indicating that he could go and deliver the message.

He couldn't wait to see the blond guy lower his head.

So what if they are scions of wealthy and powerful families?

If he competes fairly in this school, and faces the principle of "true meritocracy," what can he do?

Koenji Rokusuke is nothing special and doesn't deserve to be his opponent. The real focus should be on Aragaki Shun and Horikita-kai-chō.

In the upcoming sports festival, he will suppress both of them simultaneously to prove that he is the strongest of the highly developed ones!

Just imagining that exciting future made this second-year leader incredibly excited...

.........

"A total of ten million points?"

This time, in Katsuragi Kohei's dormitory, after hearing the various pieces of information relayed by Ryuen Sho, Koenji Rokusuke nodded slightly, somewhat reluctantly.

"It's alright, the result is roughly within my expectations."

"For the next five months, the personal points that Dragon Boy needs to use the class transfer voucher will be deducted from this ten million. As for any remaining amount, it depends on whether you can make enough contributions to the class during this period."

The implication is that if he can gain the recognition of his classmates through his contributions within these five months, then Koenji will have the students of Class B make up the remaining transfer fees for him.

If that's not possible, then there's nothing we can do but let him be sent back to his original class. What will happen to him then depends on what Shun Aragaki decides.

In fact, not only Ryuen Sho, but also Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, who transferred to Class B before him, received the exact same treatment.

In this regard, both Koenji and Katsuragi made it clear to them, and regardless of what the two who were transferring classes thought in their hearts, they outwardly expressed their understanding.

After all, Class B of the first year was truly impoverished. If they wanted to be generous, the whole class had to tighten their belts and pretend to be rich.

Kohei Katsuragi, who manages the class funds, suffers from alopecia, which prevents his hair from falling out. Otherwise, given the enormous financial pressure, his hairline would probably be receding quite a bit... Hmm, why does that seem even more pathetic?

To put it simply, Class 1B's current evaluation score is 1658. After Ryuen Sho transfers to the class, there will be 38 students in the class. They can also receive 300,000 personal points from Majima Tomoya every month, so their total monthly income will be at least 6.6 million.

This amount of money is not small, but the debt to be transferred to Shun Aragaki is as high as 340 million yen, and the transfer vouchers to be paid to Koenji in the next nine months will also require 200 million yen. After deducting the living expenses and some miscellaneous expenses of the classmates, it is already the result of careful calculation that 40 yen can be saved in a month to be put into class funds.

"...Currently, the class account has 360 million personal points remaining. If no additional source of funds can be found to improve the class's financial situation in the near future, the class funds saved up in five months will not exceed 600 million."

"At that time, Class B will definitely not be able to withstand the consumption of your two transfer tickets. At least one of you will have to be given up in order to barely keep the other one."

Under the instructions of Rokusuke Koenji, Kohei Katsuragi sighed and then explained the financial situation of Class B in detail.

Without a doubt, Class B is already in a dangerous phase of living beyond its means and accumulating huge debts.

Even if they don't suffer any major setbacks in the upcoming class competitions and maintain their current class evaluation scores, they still won't be able to wait until the day when Ayanokouji and Ryuen Sho completely join Class B.

"In other words, we must further increase revenue and reduce expenditure."

Ryuen Sho clicked his tongue, his face full of displeasure as he offered his suggestion: "If we cut back on living expenses and miscellaneous fees, Class B could save at least 120 million yen a month. With so many free items from Advanced Training, even if we didn't spend a single penny, we could still survive, right?"

"...Everyone in the class isn't an ascetic, so it's essential to guarantee each person a monthly living allowance of 15,000 yuan. Otherwise, eating mountain vegetable meals every day and using free items would be a huge blow to everyone's morale."

The bald man was speechless at Long Yuanxiang's terrible idea.

If we really do as he says, I'm afraid that in less than two months, Class B's fighting spirit will completely dissipate.

After all, even the D class in the three grades has a monthly allowance of ten or twenty thousand yuan. If the living standards of the B class are not even as good as those flawed D classes, then I'm afraid not many people will be motivated to continue participating in the class competition.

"Miscellaneous expenses can't be reduced just because you want to. They include purchasing information, building relationships with upperclassmen, photocopying documents, and even hosting parties. All these expenses add up to more than 200,000 yen a month, which is already quite frugal."

"In short, don't count on cutting costs. Let's find ways to increase our personal points or class evaluation scores."

Putting aside other avenues, if Vice President Nan Yun could provide such generous support again, Class B's current predicament would surely be resolved.

"So, after this sports festival, Class B's financial situation will worsen further?"

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji suddenly spoke up, casually pointing out a point that Katsuragi hadn't considered: "If you come in last place in the losing group, you'll have 100 class evaluation points deducted."

Before the bald man could even worry about it, Koenji Rokusuke suddenly burst out laughing.

"Hehe~ Ayanokouji boy, do you really think that if Class B takes a passive approach to the competition, the first-year students will become the losers?"

"You know, ever since the rules of the sports festival were announced, the three classes led by Aragaki Boys have never approached us on their own initiative."

"You mean to say that Class B wasn't considered part of the same fighting force as Aragaki Shun from the beginning?" Ryuen Sho's lips twitched slightly. It felt a bit ridiculous, but it also seemed to be that person's style.

"Is he planning to directly fight three against four, using only his three classes to suppress the second and third grades?"

Feeling he had enough power, he never even considered winning over any unstable elements... This bastard is as arrogant as ever.

"Aragaki-boy is just as beautiful as me. If nothing unexpected happens, even if we do nothing, Class B will still be a member of the winning team in this sports festival."

Of course, even if you win by default, you will still only be in last place, but getting 150 class evaluation points is still a pretty good achievement.

After all, even without cooperating with Nagumo, they could only get a maximum of 450 class evaluation points.

The difference of 300 points, if we give up Longyuan and calculate based on 37 people, is equivalent to 111 million personal points per month. If this continues until graduation, it will naturally be far more than 10 million personal points.

The problem is that Class B has lost so many key members to Aragaki Shun, leaving them with very few usable combat forces.

If we don't strengthen the class's foundation, even if we get a lot of class evaluation points this time, we may lose them next time due to special exams.

Therefore, he ultimately chose to cooperate with Nagumo, to first obtain the substantial ten million personal points.

As for whether this choice is worthwhile, that's a matter of opinion.

"Haha~ If that's really the final result, won't that bastard Nagumo be crying his eyes out?"

Ryuen Sho suddenly laughed gleefully, "My five million, Class B's ten million, plus the fifteen million he lost to Aragaki Shun as a wager, have brought the total to thirty million personal points."

"After such a crushing defeat, even if he has a strong foundation as a second-year student, he'll be paralyzed from the waist down, right?"

Katsuragi nodded silently. It seemed that as long as Aragaki Shun and Nagumo Masaru were pitted against each other, Class 1-B would benefit from the situation regardless of who won or lost.

Shun Aragaki won. First-year students are in the winning group. Class B can get ten million personal points and 150 class evaluation points.

Nagumo Masayuki won, and the first-year students became the losers. Class A will not only lose a lot of evaluation points, but Aragaki Shun will also lose 15 million personal points.
