In fact, I can add unlimited points

"Yay! We're number one again! All that hard work this past month paid off!"

"This is amazing! Our Class A score is almost 3000. The school gives out at least 27 points to each student every month. It feels like a dream."

After Kanzaki calculated the evaluation scores for each class, the students in Class A cheered and jumped around on the playground.

Having been on edge the whole time, now that the results are in, even a generous and rational literary girl like Hiyori Shiina can't help but show her joy. After all, the past month of training has been really tough.

Meanwhile, the other first-grade classes also noticed the changes in their class evaluation scores immediately.

"We got 150 class evaluation points without doing anything. From this point of view, we've made a profit."

Katsuragi Kohei looked dejected. "But the gap between Class B and Class A has widened further, and even Class C is almost catching up."

Losing to Class A was painful, but the class had mostly accepted it. However, if they couldn't even beat Class C, the pain would be beyond words.

If we lose to Class A, then Class C, and then Class D, then there will be no more classes to lose to. They were the strongest class the school initially recognized. If things continue to develop in this way, we will lose all face!

Could it be that if they were to create an unprecedented record for advanced training and become the first former Class A student to fall into Class D... that would definitely be recorded in the school's history and leave a lasting stain on their reputation!

This is something Katsuragi Kohei absolutely cannot accept! The rest of Class B, including Koenji Rokusuke, also cannot accept it!

But life is tough, and how easy is it to bravely move forward in such a situation as a first-year student?

However, people's joys and sorrows are not shared. According to the law of conservation of smiles, smiles do not appear out of thin air, nor do they disappear inexplicably; they simply transfer from one person's face to another's.

Therefore, while Class B was carrying a heavy burden and looking bitter, students from other classes were naturally smiling happily and enjoying a peaceful life.

For example, Class C and Class D, which won second and third place in the winning group respectively, saw their class evaluation scores increase by 450 and 300 points respectively.

“Starting next month, the school will distribute 144,000 points to each student every month. Even if some of them have to be handed over to Aragaki according to the contract, we will still be able to keep about 90,000 yen for living expenses.”

Led by Daichi Ishizaki, the delinquent girls of Class C were practically dancing wildly at this moment, jumping, running, fist bumping, and hugging everywhere without any regard for their image.

After working hard for over a month, I was able to increase the class's monthly personal points by 45,000, which was absolutely worth it.

Think about how miserable they were last semester. They were hanging out with Ryuuen Sho, going hungry for three days out of eight. The monthly funding from the school was basically taken by Shinju Shun, and they couldn't even guarantee their basic living expenses.

But ever since the exam on the deserted island, when he joined the leadership of Class A, the class's economic conditions have improved dramatically. They no longer have to go to the free vegetable window from time to time and endure the extremely unpalatable mountain vegetable set meal.

If they had known one day they would turn to the light from the beginning, they wouldn't have had to suffer for an entire semester.

Meanwhile, the few intellectuals in Class C, like Satoru Kaneda, are already preparing to discuss the class funds with representatives Shiho Manabe and Mio Ibuki.

They didn't have the chance before, but now they really see the hope of transferring into Class A through 20 million personal points.

Class C is currently in a great financial situation, so we can't let those brainless fools waste all the money.

Finally, there's Class D in the first year. This group was also overjoyed by the additional 300 class evaluation points, but after seeing the overall change in the first grade's points, their enthusiasm inevitably waned.

This doesn't mean they're dissatisfied with their ranking; there are very few people in Class D who still retain the drive to improve.

The key point is that, seeing that the evaluation scores of the top three classes were all above 1400, while they had only just recovered to 567, the students in Class D realized that this data was a bit too bad.

"Damn it! It's all those bastards, Haruki Yamauchi,'s fault. If they hadn't been so reckless as to secretly film the women's changing room, we wouldn't have suddenly lost 300 class evaluation points."

"That's right. Since the midterm exam last semester, we've been scoring 567 points since July. It's already past October, and we're still stuck at the same score. Other classes score three, four, or even five times as many points as us."

"It's too good for them to be expelled like this. If those criminals were still in advanced education, I would make them understand why flowers are so red every day!"

"Forget it, it's better to get rid of this black sheep as soon as possible. At least the classroom is much quieter now, isn't it?"

Seeing the lively atmosphere in the class suddenly turn sour, Hirata Yosuke knew something was wrong and immediately stepped forward to appease the D class members who were constantly complaining.

"If we want to be happier, at least from now on, after we pay off our debts each month, we'll still have a fair amount of personal points left for our daily lives, right?"

With the evaluation scores of Class 567, including Class D, there are a total of 32 students. Their total monthly income is a little over 181 million. After deducting the 120 million that needs to be handed over to Aragaki Shun, the remaining points are distributed so that each person can have a living allowance of nearly 2 per month.

This is definitely good news for everyone in Class D, enough to temporarily dispel all discontent.

As for the plans of ambitious students like Yukimura Teruhiko to accumulate funds for transferring classes through class fees... naturally, these plans will have to be postponed once again.

If even basic living standards cannot be guaranteed, what difference is there between those higher-level needs and mere ramblings in one's dreams?

.........

"Hehe~ Kiriyama! Kiryuin! Well done! Well done!!!"

Compared to the first grade, where all four classes plundered a large number of class evaluation points from the upper grades but had little impact on their class rankings, the second grade saw a dramatic shift in the landscape.

Seeing her class's evaluation score halved and her prestige among the second-year students plummet, Nan Yunya was so angry that her lips trembled, and her usually gentle and refined face appeared somewhat distorted.

A year and a half of hard work almost came to naught because of a single sports festival. This is an unbearable loss for ordinary people, let alone Nagumo, who has had a smooth life since childhood and considers himself invincible.

"As expected, this school is really interesting. You Class B should just pray that Horikita Manabu and Aragaki Shun will support you in every special exam, otherwise, I will slowly, slowly make you remember how I dominated the second year!"

Without a doubt, this was a threat of expulsion against Kiriyama Ikuba and Kiryuin Fuka.

In Nangumo Masaru's eyes, the most direct reason for her failure in this sports festival was that she overestimated herself by facing both Aragaki Shun and Horikita Gakuen at the same time without completely suppressing the internal divisions of her grade.

Facing two opponents alone, and also having to backstab the second-year B class, it's no wonder they ended up losing like this.

After all, those two guys were opponents that even he had to take seriously, so how could he be so careless and underestimate them!

Having learned his lesson, Vice President Huang Mao said he would remember it and would focus all his energy on Class 2B from now on. After breaking their rebellious spirit, he would regroup and challenge Horikita Manabu.

Sensing the deep malice in Nagumo's words, Kiriyama Ikuha instinctively trembled.

Ultimately, his own strength is indeed far inferior to that of his opponent. If he is targeted by Nan Yun in the future, it would not be surprising if he were to face the risk of dropping out of school.

We must keep clinging to powerful figures!

To counterattack Nanono Masa's class and reclaim their original position, relying solely on the strength of Class 2-B is insufficient. Kiryuin Fuuka's mind is not on the class, so she is completely unreliable.

Since his class ranking dropped, he hasn't had a victory as exhilarating as this sports festival in a long time. If he wants to continue his winning streak, he has to cling to those two powerful figures at all costs.

In contrast to Kiriyama Ikuyo's anxiety and uncertainty, Kiryuin Fuuka remained as arrogant as ever, making an ear-picking gesture and completely ignoring Nanonuma's threat.

"You should focus on recovering your strength first. After going through all this, how much control do you think you have over the second year students?"

When Guilongyuan sneered and hit his sore spot, the yellow-haired vice president's face immediately darkened. His cold gaze swept over Class C and Class D of the second year, but he saw that the representatives of these two classes also had their eyes wandering, obviously having other ideas.

This is only natural, because when the entire second grade fell into the failure group, the structure of the four classes inside changed dramatically due to the sharp drop in class evaluation scores.

According to the rules of the sports festival, the first to fourth place in the losing group will have 400, 300, 200, and 100 class evaluation points deducted respectively.

For example, Nan Yunya's class first lost 400 points, and then lost nearly 300 points again because of Class B's suicidal move. The class's evaluation score dropped to just over 700, which can be described as being cut in half.

As the last-place class, Class B of Grade 2 will only lose 100 points. Furthermore, due to the fact that no one was recommended to participate in any of the projects on the competition form, and 35 students in the class were absent from 9 projects that all students participated in, they were penalized with 315 points. In the end, the class's evaluation score was just over 300.

In other words, the gap between the two classes has been reduced to around 400. With just one or two more special tests, Class B will have a chance to regain its position as Class A.

Under these circumstances, Kiriyama's class was naturally able to rekindle their fighting spirit.

As for Class C and Class D of the second year, who were caught in the crossfire, they suffered two major setbacks, losing nearly 400 and 300 points respectively in this sports festival, leaving them with only slightly over 100 class evaluation points.

Seeing that the competition between Class A and Class B is once again becoming increasingly fierce, most of these people will no longer blindly follow Nan Yunya's orders as they have in the past.

To put it bluntly, the gap between these two classes and Class B is only about 200 points. To say that they don't have the intention of taking advantage of the situation is simply fooling a fool.

"So that's how it is. They showed their madness by saying they'd rather die together than let me get away with it, which made Class C and Class D afraid to get involved in the struggle between the higher-ranking classes?"

Nan Yunya's gaze grew even colder, carrying the lingering power of the past, exerting immense pressure on the representatives of both classes.

"But do you also think you have the right to negotiate with me?"

Class B has Shun Aragaki and Gaku Horikita as their backers, and Fuuka Kiryuin is also quite strong. At least Ikuha Kiriyama knows how to use someone else's power to his advantage. What about Class C and Class D?

A gathering place for a bunch of useless and shoddy goods, a dumping ground for defective products—it's just a defeat, yet you dare to defy my will?!

Just as the blond-haired senior was about to give these fence-sitters a good talking-to, a commotion suddenly came from not far away, and the B-class team in front of him automatically parted to create a passage, as if the sea was parting.

As the crowd that had been shielding them retreated to the sides, Shun Aragaki casually stepped onto the stage of the second-year students, followed closely by several imposing men and women, like subjects escorting a king on an inspection tour of his territory.

Nan Yun almost laughed out of anger. Didn't he know whose territory this was?

"Aragaki, what are you doing here? Looking for another spectacle?"

"No! I'm here to collect a debt!"

Aragaki Shun smiled knowingly and bluntly questioned in front of everyone:

"According to the agreement, the loser is to hand over 1500 million to the winner. I wonder if Senior Nagumo has enough points in reserve?"

264. To kick someone when they're down; to pursue a victorious attack.

Debt collection?

Or is it a whopping 1500 million personal points?

Hearing Aragaki Shunmei's mocking voice, the students in all four second-year classes felt a sense of suffocation.

It should be noted that most of Nan Yunya's personal points were plundered from them.

Now, hearing that just one gamble between him and Shun Aragaki would involve an investment of nearly 20 million yen, with only a quarter of that amount needed to secure a permanent transfer to Class A... how could this not leave the second-year students, who were the ones who were being taken advantage of, feeling a mix of emotions?

The crucial point is that he still lost!

This means that the second year as a whole lost 1500 million personal points.

How credible is the promise the other party made to everyone—to help capable students transfer to other classes when they graduate in the future?

Thinking about this, the already restless hearts of the second-year students wavered even further. Many students in Class C and Class D who still had expectations for him couldn't help but question themselves again: Is it really the right thing to put the hope of graduating from Class A on such a capricious outsider?

Nan Yunya noticed the change immediately, and her gaze towards Aragaki Shun deepened, but on the surface, she still pretended to be indifferent and let out a sneer:

"It's only 1500 million, yet you, Aragaki, have to make the trip yourself. I never expected that."

"After all, unlike Senior Nagumo who keeps all his personal points in his pocket, Class A of the first year has had a total of 8 students transferred in. Even with the transfer vouchers, the class's finances are still a bit strained. Therefore, the 1500 million that Senior kindly gifted us is quite precious to us."

However, this is a lie!

Even before the sports festival, without adding the personal savings of Shun Aragaki and the other students in the class, Class A's financial situation was still good. With the class fees collected each month, they were fully able to cover the expenses of all the students who transferred classes within ten months.

Needless to say, because of the victory in this sports festival, Class A directly plundered 600 class evaluation points from the upper grades, which is equivalent to 6 personal points per person per month.

The class's monthly income increased by 288 million. If half of that, or 144 million, is added to the class fund, then even if one more student transfers to another class, the class can barely stay afloat.

Shun Aragaki used this seemingly complaining tone simply to highlight the number of transfers in Class 1-A, something the second-year students, who were particularly sensitive to, naturally understood his meaning.

As expected, faced with this unprecedented achievement in high-level training, all the students in the second-grade classes were instinctively shaken, because this was the future they had been dreaming of, and the pie in the sky that Nan Yunya had painted when she used the big stick and sweet dates to unite them.

“At the beginning of the semester, each class was assigned 40 students. As the special exams were conducted, some students either failed due to lack of ability or were deliberately attacked. As a result, most classes had students drop out, and the number of students was no longer satisfactory. This is the first time I have seen a class where the number of students has increased instead of decreased.”

"That's right. Even Class 3-A, where President Horikita is, barely manages to keep no one dropping out. But for Class 1-A to increase from 40 to 48 students is practically a myth."

"The key point is that it's only been half a year since the first-year students enrolled, right? In such a short time, he's helped so many people transfer classes. This first-year student is truly an unprecedented monster."

The second-year students couldn't help but discuss it amongst themselves, all astonished by this fact. Then, compared to Nan Yunya's promise that she had not yet demonstrated any results, they inevitably felt a lot of dissatisfaction.

"Nagumo said he would give us all the chance to transfer to Class A, but he took so many of our personal points and we haven't seen a single one. Is this bastard trying to scam us?"

"I don't know. He said that the changes can only be implemented after he takes office as the student council president. After that, he needs to prove his strength and contributions before he can select suitable people before graduation."

"Can you really believe such empty words? The total number of personal points submitted by the four classes is at least forty or fifty million, and we haven't seen him take any action. If he really wants to save money, he can learn from the first-year students and use transfer vouchers to pay in installments, right?"

"Heh~ Once the money's in this guy's pocket, do you really think he'd willingly hand it over? Didn't you see how easily he could throw away 1500 million for a bet? He'd rather throw the money down the drain than waste it on our lower-ranked class!"

"Hehe, in someone's eyes, we are mostly just milk cows, whose purpose is to provide points so that they can live a carefree life. What right do we have to ask for anything in return? It's utterly absurd!"

The more they discussed it, the more uneasy they became; the more they compared things, the more disappointed they felt. As suspicion continued to spread, the students in Class C and Class D of the second year could not convince themselves and could only let the resentment that had accumulated in their hearts sprout again.

Regardless of the circumstances, Nagumo Masa's methods for getting into the second year of high school all involved threatening to expel her.

Several people in their class who could be considered friends were kicked out of advanced training, and most of their monthly personal points were ruthlessly taken away. It would be impossible for these people not to feel resentment.

However, since Nagumo had never failed before, the lower-ranking classes saw no hope of a counterattack. This caused the students to tremble under the opponent's tyranny, fearing that they would be chosen as a scapegoat for expulsion. Therefore, they dared not disobey his will.

But now, Nanono Masa has actually lost, and lost so miserably. Not only was she dragged down by Class 2-B and lost 700 class evaluation points, but she was also robbed of 15 million personal points by Aragaki Shun. She has suffered significant losses in both aspects.

So he can be this pathetic too!

So even he can lose, and there comes a day when he can be suppressed by those who come later!

Therefore, it seems that even Nagumo is not invincible; it's just that their lower-ranked classes are too weak. However, this school does have someone who can teach them a lesson.

Thinking of this, everyone in the second year except for Class A naturally had strange thoughts. The grudges that had been forcibly suppressed due to insufficient strength, along with the hope of a comeback, resurfaced and were difficult to dispel for a long time.

Sensing the somewhat oppressive yet exhilarating atmosphere, Aragaki Shun couldn't help but burst into laughter at Nagumo Masashi:

"Haha~ It seems that Senior Nagumo's reputation isn't as good as I thought."

"The art of managing subordinates does indeed involve a combination of kindness and severity, but the senior went too far in coercion, expelling those who disobeyed him one by one, while offering empty promises of benefits, and it seems that he never intended to deliver on the promised transfer opportunities?"

Regardless of what the blond senior was thinking, the fact is that the second-year students had already given him so many personal points, but Nagumo had only used them for his personal hobbies. He would rather spend a lot of money challenging Horikita Gakuin and supporting Class B of the first year than actually help anyone from the lower-ranked classes transfer.

A boss who only makes empty promises and doesn't provide any real compensation should definitely be severely criticized.

But Shun Aragaki is kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see the sorrow on the faces of his second-year seniors, so he decided to offer them a win-win suggestion—
