In fact, I can add unlimited points

The students encouraged each other with smiles. After more than a month of training, they believed that the first grade would definitely be the winning group in this sports event, and Class A would become the number one among the 12 classes in the whole school.

Under the leadership of our invincible class monitor, as long as everyone is united, our class will have no rivals.

Aragaki Shun was naturally extremely satisfied with this high fighting spirit.

That's the kind of unwavering belief we should have!

From any perspective, Class A of Grade 1 is the strongest among the 12 classes in the entire school.

Because the class had a surplus of fighting power, Shun Aragaki thought long and hard and specially assigned some good athletes to help out in Class C and Class D of the first year.

"Kansaki and Suzune, you two will be in charge of Class D in the first year."

Upon hearing the instructions from the leader of Class A, both of them nodded, then called to the four classmates beside them, and together they gathered at the front of Class D's team.

They were greeted by Karuizawa Megumi, Kushida Kikyo, and Hirata Yosuke. Class D of the first year had too few people, and now with six more decent fighters, they wouldn't be the ones dragging the first year down.

"But I really didn't expect that Aragaki-kun would have something like a hiring voucher. It's great that everyone in Class A can temporarily join Class D's team to help out."

The brown-haired girl patted her chest, looking quite relieved.

A signature angelic smile appeared on her face as she cheerfully waved to the familiar girl with long, straight black hair.

"It seems we can still fight together, Horikita-kun."

"The first year must be the winning group, and your Class D is the weakest link. I hope you can realize this and give it your all in the competition."

Horikita Suzune's expression was indifferent, and the girl's matter-of-fact reference to "your Class D" almost made Kushida lose his composure.

Damn it, just because you have an older brother who's the student council president, you think you're so great just because you got sent to Class A?

You forget where you came from as soon as you get ashore, but is that your own ability?

The atmosphere on the field became somewhat awkward for a moment. Seeing this, Ryuji Kanzaki nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that he wouldn't have to play the bad cop this time. Suzune Horikita's natural performance was much more realistic than his deliberately feigned coldness.

"Horikita-kun is still so serious."

Sensing the atmosphere, Hirata Yosuke immediately stepped forward, laughing and promising on behalf of everyone in Class D: "Don't worry, everyone has been training hard for the past month, and we're sure to achieve good results at the Sports Festival."

"That's right, anyone who dares to slack off or slack off in this situation will be the first one I don't let off the hook!"

Karuizawa Kei crossed her arms, scanned the class, and issued a stern warning.

Normally she might laugh and joke around without a care in the world, but now that her host, Shun Aragaki, has officially assigned her a task, Miss Parasite will really turn on anyone who tries to cause trouble in front of her.

"Hmm~ I hope we can cooperate well today and work together to achieve high rankings in various competitions."

Ryuji Kanzaki took the initiative to step forward and begin to take over the command of Class D in the first year. He was aware of Shun Aragaki's arrangements for the three classes, so he naturally had to find a way to maximize the role of Class D.

Along with Kanzaki and his friends, Shibata Hayate and Kamuro Masumi, who came to help Class C of the first year, also took similar actions.

Unlike Class D, which only had 32 students and whose six combatants were not enough to fill the student quota, Class C, which had lost Ryuen Sho, still had 38 students. Therefore, Aragaki Shun only sent two students over.

In this way, Class A will still have 40 people left, enough to fill all the rounds of the individual competition events, and the same applies to Class C.

There are still two vacancies left in Class D, but compared to the second and third grades, the number of participants is already quite high, second only to Class A in the third grade.

"Phew~ The competition is really about to begin."

Standing next to Shun Aragaki, the bookish girl looked somewhat anxious. "The first event should be the 100-meter dash, right?"

"That's right, because of time constraints, the school arranged a bunch of running events."

Touching the girl's hair, the leader of Class A gently comforted her, "Hiyori, you don't need to worry too much about your grades. The outcome of this sports festival was already determined in the competition among the three grades before the competition even started. Everyone just needs to do their best and not put too much pressure on themselves."

"I know, I'm just a little nervous. After all, I've never been very good at this, and it would be terrible if I embarrassed Aragaki-kun and Class A."

With the comfort of her fellow book lovers, Shiina Hiyori gradually calmed down, and her disordered breathing became more relaxed.

Upon seeing this, Aragaki Shun moved his hand down her silver hair until he held the literary girl's small hand tightly. "Everyone has areas of strength and weakness. Class A is a group, and it is only natural for us to learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses. Hiyori doesn't need to belittle herself because of this."

Perhaps it was the warmth of her hand that gave Hiyori a blush, and all other complicated thoughts vanished from her mind. She simply lowered her head and softly hummed in agreement, all her unease dispelled by the support beside her.

Seeing this, many of the Class A students waiting to go on stage were speechless. Why were they all being subjected to this display of affection at a time like this?

Fortunately, the literary girl knew that she was in a public place and quickly realized what was happening. She took out a thick book from somewhere and used it to cover her face under her eyes. She shyly took two steps back and avoided everyone's teasing gaze.

As for the male protagonist, Shun Aragaki, he didn't seem embarrassed at all. On the contrary, he was still righteously scolding the innocent bystanders who were watching the spectacle.

"The 100-meter race is about to start, and you guys aren't even warming up yet? Are you trying to slack off here?!"

The students were speechless and could only shrug and run to the open areas around them to complain about the class monitor's shamelessness.

In the end, all that remained in front of Shun Aragaki was Arisu Sakayanagi, who couldn't play, and Honami Ichinose, who was comforting her beside her.

The pink-haired girl felt a little envious of what she had just witnessed, but she knew that now was not the time to talk about love, so she suppressed her feelings for the time being.

"Speaking of which, Kanzaki and Shibata went to Class C and Class D respectively. I wonder if they can cooperate well with the students in the two classes. I heard that boys tend to become more hot-tempered when facing sports events like this."

"It's alright. The three classes have already trained together for a month. If something still goes wrong, then it's definitely not Kanzaki's fault."

Aragaki Shun waved his hand dismissively, completely unconcerned about Ichinose's worries.

Although the background of Class C and Class D was indeed somewhat poor, through withdrawal and transfer, the biggest problem children in these two classes have been expelled from their respective classes.

The remaining students were all selected by Shun Aragaki. Even if they didn't have particularly outstanding talents, they at least had a certain level of self-awareness and were willing to obey orders... That was more than enough!

"Hehe~ I really didn't expect that Aragaki-kun would have such a trick up his sleeve. This must be the first time that employment vouchers have been used on campus, right?"

Looking at Kanzaki Ryuji and the others who were directing Class D of the first year, as well as Shibata Hayate and Kamuro Masumi who had just joined the Class C of the first year, Sakayanagi Arisu's face showed obvious admiration.

According to the school's rules, the deadline for submitting the entry form is 5 PM the day before the sports festival, and no changes are allowed after that date for any reason.

But no one expected that when filling out the competition forms, Shun Aragaki would unexpectedly reassign the eight extra students from Class A to Classes C and D.

The reason they were able to do this was because of the employment voucher that the other party had prepared in the first month of the semester.

What is this, being prepared for a rainy day?

"It's just a matter of being prepared," Aragaki Shun said calmly.

He didn't expect that the other first-grade classes would be so weak, almost all of them failing after only one semester.

If it weren't for the Advanced Development Organization's Sports Festival, which pitted 12 classes from three grades against each other, he wouldn't know how long he would have had the 9 transfer tickets he bought from the school.

"So this is why Aragaki-kun gave up on Class B from the very beginning and was confident in taking on the second and third year students with three classes."

A satisfied smile appeared on her small face. Sakayanagi felt that she had gained a deeper understanding of the man in front of her.

This kind of grand and upright style, relying on absolute strength to crush the opponent head-on, is really completely different from her.

There's nothing that can be done about it, since she has a serious physical defect that makes her an easy target.

Such comprehensive and flawless strength is truly enviable.

"Well, if Nan Yunya doesn't extend her reach to the first-year students, then I won't bother to team up with the second-year Class B."

"In the end, even if all four second-year classes become one unit, in a competition based on pure strength, our first-year students still have the highest chance of winning."

If Katsuragi's team doesn't tank, then with their numerical advantage and top-tier players like Aragaki Shun, Koenji, and Ayanokoji, the first-year students will definitely be able to easily win this sports festival.

Even if Katsuragi's class is excluded from the beginning, it doesn't mean that Aragaki Shun, with his three classes, will be at a disadvantage in the competition with the upperclassmen.

The nine employment vouchers he prepared at the beginning of the semester were for temporarily joining another class for one week, and he could not share any benefits of joining the class. If he violated the code of conduct, the evaluation points of the original class would still be deducted.

From this perspective, employment vouchers are only beneficial to classes that are temporarily joined, so it is necessary to negotiate the relevant conditions with the employees in advance; otherwise, no one would be willing to go and work like a slave.

Under normal circumstances, due to the competition between classes, this kind of product is rarely used.

But now that all three classes are under Shun Aragaki's command, he can arrange everything as he pleases.

Overall, Class A's 48 members were far too many, especially in team battles. With their overall strength, they only needed to send 40 members to secure first place, so the extra strength was basically a waste.

On the other hand, the 32 students in Class D not only lost 8 rounds of points in individual competitions, but will also find it difficult to achieve a high ranking in team battles, since seventh place and below in team battles will result in 0 points.

This is where employment vouchers come in handy—

Dividing the extra combat power among Class C and Class D will not only significantly improve the overall grades of the first year, but will also not affect Class A's ranking in the winning group.

Moreover, Aragaki Shun could take this opportunity to draw blood from both classes again.

After all, the last place in the winning group was reserved by Class B, and the second and third place winners could plunder 450 and 300 class evaluation points from the upper grades respectively... With so much to gain, it was natural to show some appreciation. Shun Aragaki took out eight hiring tickets at once, which was quite a considerable expense.

Starting in October, the debt owed by Class D increased from 101 million to 120 million per month, while the debt owed by Class C, which had fewer employees, increased from 192 million to 200 million.

In addition, these two classes also have to give each of the temporary hires 10 personal points as a hard-earned reward for the day.

To be fair, compared to previous situations, his conditions this time seem particularly lenient in the eyes of both classes... If nothing unexpected happens, after the sports festival results, each student in Class C will receive an additional 4.5 yen in living expenses per month, while Class D will receive 3 yen.

From this perspective, Shun Aragaki really only extracted a small part of it, which made Ryuji Kanzaki look at him with a bit of a strange expression.

Shun Aragaki did not explain this, but he knew in his heart—

After this sports festival ends, Class A and Class B of the second year will both fall into the zero-score hell, and the remaining two classes will not have much evaluation score left either.

Seeing this situation, the school will most likely not arrange for the three grades to compete on the same stage in the next special exam, but will instead return to the competition within each grade, and try to reduce the excessively high score of the first grade.

With this in mind, Aragaki Shun didn't draw much blood from Class C and Class D.

Since they are all his subordinates anyway, he should leave some resources for his two vassals to withstand the powerful blows of his superior forces.

The school gets to do all the bad stuff so he can reap their gratitude.

257. Shun Aragaki's successful start; Manabu Horikita's difficult situation.

[The first event, the 100-meter dash, is about to begin. Participants, please take your positions.]

While the leader of Class A was chatting with Sakayanagi and Ichinose, a notice from the faculty suddenly came over the school's loudspeaker.

Seeing that the time was up, Aragaki Shun greeted everyone in his class and then walked briskly to the starting line of the racetrack.

That's right. In order to boost the morale of the three classes, he arranged himself to be the first to perform when filling out the competition form, so as to ensure a good start.

"The school seems to be taking this sports festival very seriously; they've even set up cameras to determine the results."

When Shun Aragaki arrived at his starting line, he suddenly heard a lukewarm voice from the side. It was Kiyotaka Ayanokouji, representing Class 1-B.

The masterpiece of the White Room points to what appears to be the end point, where cameras can be seen.

"Is this to indicate that the school is determined to absolutely avoid misjudgments and vague conclusions?"

Shun Aragaki was somewhat puzzled. While it was clear that the school had put a lot of effort into preparing for this sports festival, the key point was—

Are you trying to talk to me?

Since entering the Advanced Education Center, this masterpiece of the White Room has not made much of a splash.

Ironically, his most notable act on campus was almost getting him expelled as an accomplice of several voyeurs, including Haruki Yamauchi and Kanji Ike.

Of course, Shun Aragaki didn't really care about the other person's identity.

However, Ayanokouji had never spoken to him before, perhaps because she didn't want to get involved with him and disrupt his peaceful school life.

He has now changed his style, which is quite unusual.

"Hmm~" Ayanokouji's stoic face showed a hint of doubt. "Did I say something wrong? This is how classmates who aren't very familiar with each other should interact, right?"

"No! My intuition tells me that your posture is incredibly fake. If you're not really upset, don't pretend in front of me."

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Shun Aragaki met the brown-haired boy's golden eyes directly, his gaze sharp as if trying to tear away all his outward disguise.

Faced with this overwhelming pressure, the master craftsman remained calm, but secretly analyzed the information conveyed in the other party's words.

It's truly frustrating that we'd be wary of something as illogical as "intuition."

"Never mind..." After a dozen seconds, Shun Aragaki took the initiative to look away. He didn't want to stare at a grown man for too long. "I didn't expect Class B to send you to start. Are you interested in having a match with me and showing off the strength of the only finished product of the White House?"

Faced with this invitation, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji's eyes flickered, but in the end he mechanically shook his head.

"I'm sorry, but Koenji and Katsuragi have already decided on a strategy. I just need to follow their orders and not disrupt the class's plans."

"So, you've reached a cooperation agreement with Nagumo Masaru, and in this sports festival, you can only go through the motions without putting in any real effort, right?"

Having bluntly stated this conclusion, Shun Aragaki curled his lip, finding this development utterly uninteresting.

So he stopped communicating with this so-called masterpiece, put his mind back on the starting line, and glanced at the other competitors on both sides.

Thanks to the school's special arrangements, the stadium has twelve running tracks, just enough to allow runners from all twelve classes to run together at the same time.

However, in the first round of the 100-meter race, it seems that the other classes did not intend to send out their strongest athletes directly.

Leaving aside Class C and Class D in the first year, whose entry forms were filled out by Shun Aragaki, the entire Class B was prepared to slack off and do nothing, so Kiyotaka Ayanokouji naturally wouldn't put in much effort in this competition.

Of the eight athletes from the second and third years, he didn't see any familiar sports talents among them. To put it arrogantly, as someone who swept all the competitive clubs at the beginning of the school year, Shun Aragaki didn't think there were any hidden strongmen in the upper grades that he had no recollection of.

It seems that neither Horikita Manabu nor Nagumo Masaru had any intention of competing with him for the first round of the match; otherwise, they would have been more likely to personally take the field.

In other words, they knew they were doomed to lose, so they decided to use the strategy of "Tian Ji's horse racing" and simply send a bunch of rotten fish and shrimp to him as opponents.
