In fact, I can add unlimited points

"Therefore, after the sports festival ends, you will only have three to five days to implement your strategy. You must take this opportunity to minimize Nan Yunya's losses."

In any case, a class that only knows how to skip classes every day and cause trouble for the other side is definitely not the kind of talent that Advanced Education wants to cultivate.

However, this kind of competition to see who is worse is also common in society, so the school will probably prohibit it by changing the rules after this strategy is implemented.

"So, this is the only chance we have?"

Kiriyama Ikuyo's breathing became heavy. He truly saw hope in challenging Nanono Masaru again, but as a price, the evaluation score of Class 2-B would inevitably be reduced to zero before Class 2-A.

After all, they are the ones launching the attack, and they want to intercept the students of Class A, so the number of students skipping class each time must be much higher.

As a result, for the next few months, everyone in their class might only be able to use free products and enjoy the mountain vegetable set meal.

“That’s right, I can’t keep track of the second-year students’ situation all the time. If you want to completely defeat Nan Yunya, you can only seize this opportunity.”

Shun Aragaki clapped his hands, retracting his chin from the position of his hands crossed. "To ensure the success of this strategy, I've also found you a very powerful helper."

The next moment, applause broke out, and the senior with the bun pushed open the office door. Accompanying her was a white-haired girl exuding madness, who was scanning the scene in the room with interest.

"Kiryuin! It was you!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Kiriyama Ikuha's eyes widened, and he uttered an incredulous sound.

The other person's name is Kiryuin Kaede. She is also a student in Class 2-B and is the strongest person in the class overall, but she has never been interested in class competitions.

In Kiriyama's eyes, this person clearly possessed great strength, yet he was unwilling to act for the class, instead indulging in all sorts of willful and capricious behavior, which was undoubtedly the main reason why the class had fallen into such a state.

So, what Shun Aragaki means now is that the helper he found was this guy?

Are you kidding me?!

255. The Countdown to Nagumo's Power; An Unexpected Arrangement

"Kiryuin, what are you doing here?"

Faced with Kiriyama Ikuba's undisguised questioning, the white-haired, purple-eyed senior with a headband nonchalantly walked past him, went straight to the desk, propped her hands on the table, and looked at Aragaki Shun with great interest.

“I owe this junior a favor and promised to help him out once. I didn’t expect to need it so soon.”

What Kiryuin Fuka was referring to was the incident during summer vacation where Yamauchi Haruki, Ike Kanji, and others secretly filmed the women's changing room.

Because of the scorching heat, Kiryuin also came to the large swimming pool.

In other words, if Aragaki Shun hadn't discovered it early and exposed the remote-controlled car that those people had set up, the scene of this senior changing clothes would probably have become a collectible for those voyeurs.

So after the matter was over and the criminals were expelled from Advanced Training, Kiryuin took the initiative to find the leader of Class A and said that he owed him a favor.

At the time, Shun Aragaki was preparing to leave school and go home, so he didn't really care about the promise. It wasn't until he needed to use Class 2-B that he remembered the other party.

"But it's amazing that you could come up with such a self-destruct tactic that would result in mutual destruction. You're really crazy, junior. You seem much more interesting than those boring second-year students."

With a light laugh, Kiryuin extended his finger, seemingly wanting to poke the boy's cheek. This carefree attitude greatly displeased Secretary Tachibana Akane, who was about to step forward and reprimand him.

But then, Aragaki Shun swiftly grabbed the restless index finger, and with a slight squeeze of his hand, the girl wearing the headband gasped in pain.

"Hiss~ Junior, you're pretty strong, but aren't you embarrassed to be so ruthless to a cute girl like me?"

"Senior Kiryuin, there should be a limit to your willfulness. You're not the kind of brat who doesn't even know basic manners, are you?"

With a cold expression, he released the female hooligan, a sense of speechlessness rising within Aragaki Shun.

In terms of family background, personality, and actions, Kiryuin is very similar to Koenji Rokusuke; both are narcissistic, arrogant, and self-willed.

However, like Koenji, the opponent's strength is beyond doubt.

Shun Aragaki, with the privileges of the student council vice president, was able to view some student information.

In the evaluation of advanced training, Kiryuin achieved A+ in both academic and physical abilities.

Incidentally, there are over four hundred students in the school. Among the second-year students, only Kiryuin received an A+ in both categories, and among the first-year students, only Aragaki Shun received an A+. There were none among the third-year students.

In other words, based solely on the data on paper, the school judges the other party to be a talent on par with Shun Aragaki.

Of course, these evaluations from Advanced Education are not accurate. After all, the school's interviewers are also human, and humans have different opinions. When giving scores, they are easily influenced by their own personal biases and the external environment.

For example, Rokusuke Koenji's arrogant personality displeased the faculty during his interview, so they deliberately gave him an average score of C in terms of intelligence and judgment, and directly assigned him to the first-year class D.

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, on the other hand, likes to control his score. The information the interviewer gathers is just the level he deliberately presents, not the other person's true ability.

However, those with low scores may be suppressed or have their strengths hidden, while those with high scores must have something to rely on and cannot be truly useless—they can make the interviewer take notice, whether through their own efforts or their background, which speaks volumes.

In short, as a student whose stats on paper are comparable to Shun Aragaki's, even with her personality issues, Kiryuin Fuuka's raw strength is still the strongest among the second-year students.

Having the ability is one thing, but whether one can utilize it and whether one is willing to contribute to the class are another matter entirely.

“Let’s get back to business,” Shun Aragaki said, resting his chin on his hands again. “Kiryuin-senpai said before that she was willing to help me once.”

"But this operation requires absolute control over Class 2-B. I wonder if Senior Kiryuin can meet my requirements?"

Ultimately, the school's double A+ rating for him seems to put him on the same level as Shun Aragaki, only because the highest rating for Advanced Development is A+.

Based solely on the data on paper, even if she is truly skilled in both academics and martial arts, it's hard to say that her opponent is actually stronger than Nan Yunya, who has taken control of the second-year situation.

After all, battle reports can be deceiving, but the front lines won't.

As the original Class A, Kiryuin's class was truly defeated and reversed within a year, with no power to resist.

Of course, perhaps the other person, like Rokusuke Koenji in Class D of the first year, is simply not interested in class competition and occasionally does small things that violate the rules of conduct, dragging the class down... But that doesn't change the fact that the senior's class was defeated.

Given Koenji's personality, it's impossible for him to be assigned to the strongest class in the grade at the beginning, only to be defeated by those below him within a year, causing his class ranking to drop. That would be completely contrary to his aesthetic sense.

"You must have fought Nagumo before, right? What do you think of Nagumo's smug attitude of looking down on the second-year students?"

"Heh~ Interesting, is this some kind of reverse psychology tactic?"

The white-haired senior raised an eyebrow, not particularly annoyed. She simply found a sofa nearby, sat down with a flourish, crossed her legs, and spread her arms, exuding a carefree and relaxed vibe.

"Don't worry, I will definitely keep my promise. Since I agreed to help you this time, there will definitely be no problem with this attack on Nan Yunya."

"And your zero-point tactic is really interesting. I also want to know what kind of expression Nagumo will have when he sees all his hard work collapse in one fell swoop."

After saying that, Kiryuin Fuka looked at Kiriyama Ikuyo and teased him without any politeness:

"But to be honest, my influence in the class is indeed not as great as that guy Kiriyama's. If he has already lost the courage to fight against Nagumo, then the operation planned by my junior will most likely fail to achieve its full success."

Aragaki Shun was naturally aware of this, and gestured with his eyes to Secretary Tachibana Akane beside him before calmly looking at the key figure of Class 2-B.

"I believe that Kiriyama-senpai will make the right choice. After all, he is a talent that President Horikita specifically recommended to me. He has always been thinking about rebelling against Nagumo so that he can lead everyone in the class back to Class A."

"The second-year C and D classes are not a threat. As long as we use the zero-score strategy to eliminate the gap between A and B classes, those two classes can return to the same starting line. We'll have to fight it out to see who comes out on top in the future."

Seeing this, Tachibana Akane also took a step forward, her face making no attempt to hide her dissatisfaction with the blond vice president.

"Nan Yun's reach has gone too far. Recently, he's started getting involved with the third-grade B, C, and D classes. The president and I also think he should be taught a lesson."

After making her statement, the senior with the bun hairstyle stared directly at Kiriyama Ikuha with sharp eyes.

Aragaki Shun told her that this person was a fence-sitter, so wasn't he deliberately playing tricks on people by secretly siding with Horikita Gakuen's faction in the student council?

Thinking of this, Tachibana Akane's cold expression deepened, bringing layer upon layer of pressure to Kiriyama, like waves constantly accumulating.

It wasn't that he was afraid of this upperclassman, but she had the student council president Horikita Manabu behind her, and the vice president Aragaki Shun was in front of her. Furthermore, Kiryuin Kaede, the strongest student in the class, was watching him with a half-smile.

Without a doubt, it's time to take sides. If we continue to waver, we'll really be labeled as Nagumo Masako's accomplice.

He couldn't even imagine what would happen to him if he were targeted by this group of people at the same time.

"No need to say more, Nan Yunya and I are irreconcilable enemies. Now that there is a chance to drag him down to the zero-point hell, I will pay any price!"

Without hesitation, he made a righteous cut, his face expressionless, as if he had made up his mind.

Although he knew that the person in front of him wanted to use Class 2-B as a pawn to win the sports festival and then completely destroy Class 2-A.

If Nagumo's class drops to zero points, then basically no one can compete with Aragaki Shun for the position of student council president.

Moreover, he himself will not have to pay any price; all the losses will be borne by Class B of Grade 2.

But regardless, this strategy has undeniably benefited their class.

The evaluation scores of Class B in Grade 2 and Class A in Grade 2 differed by more than 700 points.

Keep in mind that half of their second year of intense competition has already passed, and they only have a year and a half left to catch up.

With such a large difference in scores between the two classes, normally, even if they continue to win, it would take at least three or four special exams to catch up.

Based solely on the strength of their class, it might be difficult to close the gap even until graduation.

Now that we can wipe it all out in one fell swoop, what are they still hesitating about?

The only problem is that for a long time to come, all of them in the class will have to endure the unpalatable mountain vegetable meal.

Shunya Aragaki understood this, and therefore questioned it bluntly:

"Now that the strategy has been formulated, the key lies in its specific execution."

"I deliberately used Kiryuin-senpai's favor to get her involved in this operation. So, do the two of you have enough control over Class 2-B?"

"I want to know, when you tell everyone in the class that in order to regain the top spot, they will sacrifice all class evaluation scores, how many people in Class B will support you, and how many will oppose it?"

If too few people are willing to carry out this plan, or even if some firmly follow Nagumo and directly inform him, then the effectiveness of the Zero Point Tactic will inevitably be greatly reduced, and it will not achieve the desired effect.

Fortunately, in response to this question, Kiriyama Ikuha gave him some very good news—

"There are indeed quite a few people in the class who aspire to join Nan Yun, but most of them harbor feelings of resentment and anger. Right now, there is a clear way to catch up with Class A, and I am confident that I can persuade everyone to cooperate."

Regardless, they were the Class A students recognized by the school at the beginning of the semester, and their class ranking was reversed by Nan Yunya later, so naturally few people in the class were willing to accept it.

As for the anger, it's quite simple: as Nagumo's primary target, several key students in Class 2-B were forcibly expelled by him.

Among the remaining members of the class, there were quite a few who were on good terms with these classmates. Everyone was holding back their anger, but they just had no chance to release it.

Kiryuin Kaede confidently added, "You don't need to worry about that; I'll handle it."

To be fair, in Kiryuin's opinion, once Kiriyama Ikuha is dealt with, the other members of Class 2-B will be much easier to persuade.

After all, the ordinary students who were able to stay until this point under Nan Yunya's pressure were all typical members of the original Class A, whose basic characteristics were being pragmatic and subtly self-serving.

With Kiriyama Ikuha, the core member of the class, standing up, and with her being the strongest in Class B, and with Aragaki Shun and Horikita Manabu, two well-known figures in the school, secretly backing her up, even those in the class who were inclined to side with Nanono Masaru would inevitably change their stance in the face of reality.

After all, both Horikita Manabu and Aragaki Shun have considerable prestige among the second-year students.

The former has served as student council president for nearly two years, while the latter swept all the competitive clubs as soon as the semester started, and they were full of senior students.

They want to support Class 2-B against Nangumo Masaru. Even if there are spies planted by that person in the class, they will pretend not to know anything in the face of Kiriyama and Kiryuin's control.

“Very good,” Shun Aragaki nodded, a satisfied smile on his face. “It seems I can patiently wait for Nagumo’s hard work to go to waste.”

Then, once Class 2B's operation succeeds, the student council will cooperate with the school to change the rules and ban the zero-score tactic.

Let Class 2-A, where Nagumo is, be the only victim!

.........

With all three grades actively preparing, time slowly passed, and soon it was the end of September.

According to the rules set by the school, the next step is to submit the entry form and make final preparations.

Most importantly, the order of participation for all students in the first-year classes A, C, and D was filled in by Shun Aragaki.

With the second grade already arranged and their elimination confirmed in advance, what he needs to do now is to maximize the strength of the three first-grade classes and then fairly and squarely suppress the third grade.

Although Nan Yunya definitely had plans for the third grade, and they could become the winning group by going with the flow this time, the leader of Class A still pretended not to be afraid of underestimating their opponents in front of many classmates who had been training for a whole month.

So, when gathering participants from all three classes to fill out the entry forms, Shun Aragaki made an unexpected arrangement...

256. The Sports Festival officially begins; the role of employment vouchers.

October has arrived, the summer heat is slowly dissipating, and the much-anticipated sports festival has officially begun.

Students dressed in sportswear entered the venue one after another amidst a tense atmosphere.

Around the huge playground, spectators were already scattered everywhere. They were usually busy shop assistants and teachers. The school had finally organized a lively sports competition, and they didn't want to miss it.

On the other side of the field, many teachers acting as referees could be seen inspecting the facilities with serious expressions.

It's worth mentioning that Advanced Development even prepared a dedicated medical team, which seems to indicate that they anticipated the competition would be extremely fierce.

"They've really gone to great lengths. Could it be that during a previous sports festival, due to class competition, there were some particularly serious injuries?"

Sitting in the gathering place of Class A, Aragaki Shun pondered for a moment, then immediately turned to the people next to him and instructed, "Pay close attention to Class B and the upperclassmen teams during the competition. If you find anyone trying to sabotage you along the way, do not act recklessly on your own. You must notify me immediately."

In response, all the students in Class A naturally echoed the sentiment.

"clear."

"Don't worry, squad leader, we all know what we're doing."

"Yes, Aragaki-kun is right. Everyone's safety is the most important thing."
