Regarding her thinking ability, during the three months she was out of school, the girl reflected on herself and realized that there were many things she simply couldn't understand. Otherwise, she wouldn't have done something as foolish as using public opinion to attack Shun Aragaki.

At the time, she probably never imagined that the other party would retaliate so ruthlessly, even to the point of targeting her father, the chairman of the school's board of directors.

This was completely beyond her comprehension. From childhood to adulthood, her father had always been someone who could hold up the sky in her eyes, but she never expected that he would actually stumble because of her.

At the same time, she couldn't understand why the students in Class B were so eager to graduate from Class A, focusing solely on the school's promises and ignoring the mundane things like further education and employment. What was so appealing about that?

Perhaps it was precisely because she lacked empathy that she took these "mediocre people" for granted as pawns, leading to the emergence of the opposing faction led by Katsuragi Kohei, and foreshadowing her later abandonment by everyone in the class, forcing her to leave Class B.

During the three months of forced suspension from school, with nothing to do, Sakayanagi Arisu repeatedly reviewed her experiences since entering school, trying to learn from her failures so that she could grow further and one day stand in front of that person again.

But she eventually realized, with dismay, that this lack of understanding was not so easily resolved.

She does have various ways to access information from different fields, but knowledge from books and the internet is ultimately a barrier. Some things can only be transformed into wisdom through personal experience, which is something she finds difficult to do.

For example, Sakayanagi Arisu still doesn't quite understand what's going on with the people in Class C and Class D, but when it comes to class assignments, her father definitely won't let her go to either of those classes.

In order to prevent the girl from falling into a dangerous situation, she could be said to have lost the right to try and make mistakes from the very beginning, because the cost was too high, and she could easily be tormented by illness, so it would be difficult for her to accumulate experience and grow from it.

"Class A clearly doesn't need me at all, so why did Aragaki-kun allow me to transfer here just because of my father's status?"

She took off her beret and placed it in front of her chest. The frail, silver-haired girl's eyes seemed to shimmer as she stared unblinkingly at the man before her, perhaps expecting some unexpected answer.

Aragaki Shun's lips twitched. He felt that he didn't need to be too sincere now. He only needed to tell a couple of nice lies to easily win the other party over.

However, at this stage, whether from an emotional or rational perspective, such a thing does more harm than good, and there is no need for it at the moment.

So he sat down on the other side of the bench and replied calmly:

"That's normal. If we transfer you to Class A, even if the chairman of the board has been suspended and left the school, a considerable number of faculty and staff at the Advanced Education Center will instinctively lean towards us in thought and action."

"I don't really need this, but it's better to have it than not. The key is to prevent the chairman's side from developing a negative impression of Class A. As long as we compete fairly, we will definitely not lose."

“You’re really frank and direct,” Sakayanagi Arisu sighed as she put her beret back on her head, seemingly complaining softly with a hint of regret, “Can’t you be a little more understanding of the delicate feelings of a young girl in the prime of her life?”

“If he were a proper gentleman, he would have said a few comforting words at this time... But the fact that Aragaki-kun doesn’t want to lie to me seems like a good thing.”

Since it was a response that was expected, Sakayanagi Arisu wasn't too surprised, but the lack of any surprise was really discouraging.

Was I too bad back then?

But in the end, the only ones who got hurt were myself, my father, and the people in Class B.

Aragaki's counterattack came too quickly and fiercely, and his offensive was completely crushed before it could even begin. He left no record of victory except to make a fool of himself.

Feeling somewhat melancholy, this young lady from a privileged background was momentarily at a loss as to what to do next.

After all, everyone in the class was working hard for the sports festival next month, but he could only watch silently from the edge of the playground, unable to participate.

Feeling restless, I couldn't resist giving Aragaki a little hint, but it seems I was rejected without hesitation.

A hint of sadness flashed in Sakayanagi Arisu's eyes. Even though she already knew the answer, the girl couldn't help but harbor some expectation in her heart.

Because Aragaki is actually quite lecherous. In just one semester, he already has four girlfriends. And in terms of looks, judging solely from cuteness, he should be the cutest in the whole school, right?

And look at his four current girlfriends; someone as petite as herself should have the upper hand compared to those shameless babes...

Shun Aragaki couldn't hear the slander in Sakayanagi's heart, but with his talent and experience, he was still able to sense that the other party's thoughts were not well hidden.

To be honest, because of that rumor-mongering incident, he didn't really trust Sakayanagi Arisu's character.

As for lust at first sight... the problem is, you can look but you can't act on it.

His gaze drifted subtly to his personal panel, which only he could observe. With the arrival of the new month, his source energy had become even more abundant.

[Due to prolonged influence, the number of Source Power automatically acquired this month: 6]

[Achievement Completed: Turn enemies into friends, transferring seven students (Wang Meiyu, Sakayanagi Arisu, Kamuro Masumi, etc.) to Class A. Source Power +2 x 7 = 14.]

[Achievement Completed: A Dog Without a Home, expelling Ayanokoji Kiyotaka and Ryuen Sho from their original class, Source Power +3 + 1 = 4.]

[Achievement Completed: Unify Rules and Regulations, standardizing the rules and regulations of Classes A, C, and D in Grade 1. Source Power +4.]

[Source Energy: 22 → 50 (Current efficiency: 6 items per month)]

To put it bluntly, accumulating 50 units of source power at once was almost the richest he had ever been in recent years.

Aside from last month's surplus, the majority of the gains came from the new students who joined Class A. Although each of them contributed a small amount of source energy, the seven students who transferred directly to the class gave them an absolute advantage in terms of numbers.

The section on "unified system" doesn't need much discussion; the last one, "a stray dog," seems more interesting.

Despite having the same result, the source power gained from Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was three times that of Ryuen Sho.

Indeed, the White House's greatest masterpiece is truly unique.

This individual, who has garnered significant attention from the upper echelons of Sakurajima society and serves as a potential experimental subject for a certain faction in the political arena, may well become a highly desirable target for exploitation.

Putting this thought aside, Shun Aragaki looked at Arisu Sakayanagi beside him.

With so much source energy at his disposal, if he really had a plan, he could actually cure the other party's congenital heart disease.

Do you even know what a miracle is?

But why did he do that?

With this question in mind, the young man's gaze remained calm as he unhesitatingly invested the abundant resources into the corresponding enhancements.

In an instant, the data on the panel in front of me flashed twice and immediately became completely new—

Name: Shun Aragaki

Strength: 12→17

Physical condition: 12→17

Agility: 12→17

Mental state: 13→18

To be condensed: None

Optional quest: Inheritance and Propagation – Offer your blessings for the birth of a true genius in this world.

Source Power: 50 → 10 (Current efficiency: 6 per month)

Divide the 40 source energies into 4 parts and invest them into the four basic attributes respectively.

As the invisible energy flowed through his body, Shun Aragaki could feel a sense of satisfaction surging from all parts of his body, as if his life level was gradually being sublimated, and a quality that did not belong to this world was about to break out of the mortal body.

Just by slightly stretching out his ten fingers, he could feel his physical strength increasing wildly, exploding, and surging, surpassing his previous peak state in a short time, and surging forward to challenge the strongest creature on the earth.

According to the previously discovered pattern, among the four basic attribute values, the Strength attribute, after reaching 11, can generate about half a ton of strength when going all out. After that, each point of enhancement can add at least another half ton on this basis, and the increase is greater as time goes on.

Currently, his strength attribute is as high as 17, and the force of his punch alone is over 4 tons. If he gathers solar energy and reaches his peak state, it can be further enhanced to at least 5 tons, which is not far from being able to lift the Ruyi Jingu Bang.

Enjoying this instinctive pleasure brought about by evolution, Shun Aragaki was so comfortable that he almost let out a soft moan.

She's just a little girl named Sakayanagi; how could she possibly shake his determination to become stronger?

There wasn't much affection between the two. Even if the young man was fond of beautiful women, he wasn't so blinded by lust.

From beginning to end, Shun Aragaki knew that his foundation lay solely in his source power.

If he were to enter the realm of the extraordinary in the future and automatically acquire healing skills when his supernatural powers arise, he wouldn't mind helping out with this simple task.

But let's forget about directly investing source energy now!

Paying such a high price just to spend a night with a sickly, frail girl who wasn't even that easy to get along with before?

Unless he's out of his mind, absolutely impossible!

Ultimately, beauty is just a hobby; if he wanted to, he could easily invite the girls in his class to a party anytime.

In the outside world, a single source of energy is worth more than hundreds of billions of dollars. You could have any girl you wanted. Why delay your ascension to the extraordinary realm for someone insignificant?

In conclusion, despite Arisu Sakayanagi's hints, the boy ultimately chose to ignore them and rationally persisted in pursuing his own goals.

After all, if he responded to her, this silver-haired little girl would probably cling to him eagerly, and given his temper, he really wouldn't be able to stand by and watch his little girlfriend suffer from illness.

"If you really feel like you have nothing to do and want to make a difference, could you please take some people to investigate the information about the second and third year students?"

After the enhancement was completed, seeing that Sakayanagi Arisu looked a little dazed for some reason, Aragaki Shun thought for a moment and simply gave her a task to pass the time.

"This sports festival requires strong performance from each class, but due to the special reward and punishment mechanism, the alliances and cooperation among the three grades are also very important."

"If you have time, keep an eye on the actions of the older students, paying special attention to Class A and Class B of the second year, where Nan Yunya is."

To be honest, he originally wanted to handle this matter personally.

After all, Nan Yunya had extended her influence to the first-year students, so he had to repay her in some way.

However, since Sakayanagi Arisu is so bored she's almost depressed, letting her go is the same.

Given the girl's special status as a highly developed young woman, the faculty members were generally willing to do her a favor, so it wouldn't be difficult for her to gather information.

"Ah? Oh... I understand, I'll do it."

Upon hearing the sound, the silver-haired girl finally snapped out of her daze, her face turning bright red.

For some reason, Aragaki-kun suddenly became incredibly attractive, and she almost couldn't resist him.

hateful!

Am I the legendary "love-obsessed" type?

252. The Archangel's initiative; Does Nagumo have enough points in reserve?

Before Sakayanagi Arisu could figure out if she was the legendary love-struck idiot, a certain archangel with long pink hair reaching her waist couldn't help but run over when she saw Aragaki Shun sitting on the bench.

Of course, Ichinose's stated reason was to take care of the lonely little princess, since she was the only one in Class A who couldn't participate in the physical education test.

As the class vice-president, she is responsible for organizing daily class activities, coordinating friendly relationships among classmates, and also looking after the girls. Therefore, she naturally has a responsibility to help Sakayanagi Arisu integrate into the group atmosphere of Class A as soon as possible.

"Aragaki-kun, Sakayanagi-san, are you two whispering here? You wouldn't mind if I joined you, would you?"

He first greeted her jokingly, and after Aragaki Shun nodded, Ichinose Honami then clasped her hands together and said apologetically to the silver-haired girl:

"Everyone seems to be so focused on training that they've neglected Sakayanagi for a moment. I'm sorry, this is my fault for not doing my job properly, but everyone in the class is very friendly and there was absolutely no intention to exclude Sakayanagi."

That's the truth, but only half of it.

To be honest, Ichinose also knew that, under the class president's will, the members of Class A would at most not deliberately exclude Sakayanagi or maliciously isolate him, but that was the limit.

Beyond these two points, it's certainly impossible to expect everyone to express closeness to Sakayanagi Arisu without any reservations, or to communicate with her as proactively and enthusiastically as they would with classmates.

After all, the rumors from last semester were still fresh in everyone's mind. The first target of their attack was Shun Aragaki, who led them to victory after victory. It was normal for the students in Class A to have some distance from Arisu Sakayanagi at the beginning.

As for the students who later transferred to Class A... Wang Meiyu and Shiina Hiyori need to intensify their training to prepare for the sports festival next month. Moreover, they both have close relationships with Aragaki Shun, so naturally they don't have much affection for Sakayanagi Arisu.

Horikita Suzune, on the other hand, is the kind of student who is extremely self-disciplined and studies for more than ten hours every day in order not to fall behind others in her grades.

She absolutely refused to let her classmates down during the special exams, so she devoted herself wholeheartedly to training for various competitions in preparation for the sports festival.

Or rather, even if she hadn't teamed up with Himeno Yuki and still had some free time, given this bookworm's emotional intelligence, there's little chance she would take the initiative to talk to Sakayanagi.

In the end, only four students remained: those who had transferred from Class B to Class A along with Arisu Sakayanagi. However, to some extent, Miki Yamamura and Masumi Kamuro had betrayed this former leader of Class B, so they were too embarrassed to approach him again.

As a result, the daughter of the chairman of the board of directors of Advanced Education was ignored for a time after transferring to the new class.

Of course, Sakayanagi Arisu had anticipated this scene during the months she was out of school, and now that she was experiencing it firsthand, she didn't see anything wrong with it.

So, can you go play by yourself, you pink fat lady?

I'm having a perfectly good chat with Aragaki-kun; I don't need your hypocritical greetings.

Don't think I can't see that you fat woman's eyes aren't on me at all!

"I understand. Everyone in the class wants to contribute to the sports festival, and it's the right thing to devote themselves to training now."

"In addition, Aragaki-kun gave me the task of gathering information on upperclassmen to prevent me from getting bored, so Ichinose-san doesn't need to apologize to me specifically."

Faced with Sakayanagi Arisu's sharp gaze, Ichinose, knowing that her true intentions were not what they seemed, instinctively felt a little guilty.

Why did she suddenly stop paying attention to Sakayanagi-san?

As expected, it's because of the impression that the other person has always been that aloof and domineering demeanor, leaving no room for anyone to care.

Moreover, Ichinose vaguely understood that she wasn't the kind of angel who treated everyone the same; the pink-haired girl also had her own little thoughts.

She may still harbor some resentment towards Aragaki Shun for using rumors against him, though she hasn't shown it yet.

In contrast, she would probably forgive someone who directly attacked Ichinose herself.

"Oh, so Aragaki-kun was working on a strategy for the sports festival with Sakayanagi-san?"
