In fact, I can add unlimited points

Sure enough, leaving the white room was the right thing to do; the world was far more interesting than he had imagined.

Meanwhile, in the seat next to him, the usually composed Kohei Katsuragi was using the power of the internet to search for questions that had left him speechless during the exam.

"Found it! I found several similar questions on some forums, but their sources... are all on the other side of the ocean?"

"I see. So it's Wang Meiyu. I didn't expect that international student to have such abilities."

Having finally found the answer, the bald man slumped in his chair, the pressure in his heart not only not decreasing, but increasing even further.

Class A was originally the strongest class in the first year, and then it kept siphoning personal points from the three classes, using that money to invite elites from the three classes to join... Now, most of the talents in the first year are on the other side, while Class B only has a handful of big shots.

Do they really still have a chance to win?

.........

A few more days passed, and the teachers graded the papers very quickly, and the results for all four classes were released soon.

When the class teacher entered the classroom, even the students in Class A couldn't help but feel nervous, fearing that they might make a mistake during the exam, not only failing to reach the passing grade but also dragging their group members into the crisis of dropping out of school.

Fortunately, this did not happen.

Hoshinomiya Chie walked up to the podium carrying a thick stack of documents, had the students in the front row distribute everyone's exam papers, and then wrote everyone's scores and rankings on the blackboard. She then turned to look at the students in Class A:

"Everyone worked very hard. No one was expelled this time, and we successfully surpassed Class B in average score."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the classroom breathed a sigh of relief, followed by a continuous burst of cheers.

Hoshinomiya Chie smiled and watched the scene with narrowed eyes, and raised her fist to celebrate with everyone. Although it seemed like she was trying to look young, she was indeed full of youthful energy.

After everyone's enthusiasm subsided, she coughed twice deliberately, reminding them in her capacity as the class advisor:

"It's worth noting that while PaperShuffle was indeed our victory this time, everyone's average score dropped significantly, to only 73 points."

"Of course, this is the result of Class B deliberately making things difficult for them, and since they are in an even worse situation, their score was simply reduced to 56."

Ms. Hoshinomiya announced the results of both classes, and it was clear that Class A had won a crushing victory over Class B.

This experience of using mainland exam questions might be unforgettable for them.

"Oh, right, and this too, the class evaluation scores for first grade have also been updated."

As she spoke, the homeroom teacher wrote several more lines on the blackboard, showing the changes in evaluation scores for the four classes—

Class A (Aragaki Class) 2722 points → 2822

Class B (Ge Cheng Class) score: 1808 → 1708

Class C (Ibuki Class) 1440 points → 1340

Class D (Karuizawa Class) 567 points → 667 points

According to PaperShuffle's reward and punishment rules, in a competition between classes, the winner can take 100 class evaluation points from the loser.

Therefore, Class A's score reached an unprecedented 2822, thanks to the contributions of Class B.

However, as we continue to look, Class C's score decreased while Class D's score increased... It's really unexpected that Class C was actually defeated by Class D, which is known as a gathering place for defective products?

Upon seeing this, everyone in Class A felt it was absurd. They rubbed their eyes several times before opening them again, and only after finding that the class evaluation scores remained unchanged did they reluctantly accept the fact.

But some students still couldn't help but complain:

"Should we say that Class C is too useless? Class D has either left or dropped out, leaving only 32 people."

"How could they possibly lose when things are like this?"

283. Two groups in Class B failed; some are happy, some are sad.

Class C, having lost Ryuen Sho and Shiina Hiyori, seems completely useless.

He received a direct email with the grade sheets from Class C and Class D, and compared the students' performance in PaperShuffle between the two classes. Aragaki Shun couldn't help but sigh.

Of course, this is also related to the expulsion of four students from Class D: Haruki Yamauchi, Kanji Ike, Ken Sudo, and Hideo Sotomura.

After getting rid of these oddballs, Class D's overall quality improved dramatically, easily surpassing Class C, which already had very few top students.

If we compare average scores, the latter is definitely no match for the former.

There are far too few academically gifted students in Class C. After Hiyori Shiina transferred to Class A, only Satoru Kaneda was able to keep up the pace.

Even though Class D lost Horikita Suzune, Ayanokoji, Wang Meiyu, and Koenji, they still have Yukimura Teruhiko, Kushida Kikyo, Hirata Yosuke, and the newly emerging Matsushita Chiaki.

Upon seeing this, Shun Aragaki specifically recalled the information about the girl with brown wavy hair and blue eyes who was at this school.

The other person seemed to have just been a member of the gyaru group that Karuizawa belonged to. She didn't seem particularly remarkable. Her academic performance and physical fitness were average. I haven't heard of any special skills or anything that would make her famous.

However, during the sports festival, this person suddenly showed considerable strength, ranking at least in the top three among the girls in Class D. Now that the PaperShuffle results are out, Panasonic's ranking is only behind Yukimura Teruhiko and Hirata Yosuke, just surpassing Kushida to become the third in Class D.

From this perspective, the other party could be considered to be both literate and skilled in martial arts.

But to be honest, it's more like "when the cat's away, the mice will play," because her grades were clearly inferior to those of Wang Meiyu, Horikita Suzune, Ayanokoji, and Koenji, who had already transferred to other classes.

If we were to place them in the very beginning of Class D, Panasonic wouldn't seem to rank in the top five in terms of either physical ability or academic performance.

In terms of affability and coordination, no one in Class D can surpass Kushida and Hirata. As for action and leadership, one can tell just by looking at how long the other has been a follower in Karuizawa Kei's group.

In the past, Shun Aragaki had never realized that there was such a hidden talent in Class D.

If it were just a lack of information, that would be fine, but since even intuition didn't specifically point it out, it can only mean that the other party really doesn't need to pay too much attention.

Analyzing the results of the sports festival and this special exam, if Matsushita didn't have a hidden dark history, he should have the strength of an ordinary Class A student. It's a bit of a pity that he was placed in Class D, but if he were brought to Class A, he would quickly become just another ordinary person and probably wouldn't be of much use.

The assessment is that he is inferior to Kohei Katsuragi. He cannot step up and take charge as a leader, nor does he possess any outstanding special skills like some gifted students. In addition, his personality of being unwilling to exert his abilities because he is afraid of trouble and only wants to go with the flow makes him unsuitable even as an assistant or secretary...

Well, let's take a look first.

On another note, is this guy some kind of masterpiece from somewhere?

Why do you like to hide in a low-quality group and play the role of a loser? Aren't you afraid that you'll actually become a pig and be slaughtered and eaten without any ability to resist?

Unable to comprehend these people's thoughts, Shun Aragaki could only shake his head and review the grades of the two lower-ranked classes and all the students.

The final assessment was that neither class was particularly noteworthy. Class C couldn't match Class D in terms of average score, but the latter had too few students and was almost powerless to put up a fight in events where total scores mattered.

Some students were invited to join Class A, but they were all of the more ordinary type. At most, their transfer would be a nice addition, and they would only contribute little to the overall development of the class.

The only two who are truly usable are Kikyo Kushida and Yosuke Hirata, whose flaws have been smoothed out. However, losing them would immediately paralyze the entire Class D. Therefore, it's best to let them stay there and help Shun Aragaki manage the class.

Having made this decision, the leader of Class A put down the two report cards, and Hoshinomiya Chie immediately spoke up:

"One last thing. Because the questions you created were a bit too difficult, two groups in Class B failed."

www.ShuB123.com

"According to the rules of this special exam, barring any unforeseen circumstances, all four students in these two groups will be expelled..."

Upon hearing this, Class A erupted in an uproar, but seeing the gleeful expressions on some people's faces, Aragaki Shun couldn't help but interrupt their daydreams.

"So, an unexpected incident occurred: Koenji decided to buy points for this student?"

"That's right. These two groups combined are 6 points short of the passing score. Class B has already applied to the school to use their individual points to buy the corresponding points."

Hoshinomiya Chie waved her hand, also making a regretful gesture.

If there were no way to buy points, Class B would definitely not be able to cancel the expulsion punishment given their financial situation.

The class, which already had only 38 students, would have to sit at the children's table with Class D if they lost four more students.

Unfortunately, the school did not prohibit buying scores in this special exam. After all, PaperShuffle is essentially a variant of the final exam, and the sudden expulsion of so many students would completely destroy Class B, which would not align with the highly competitive philosophy of Advanced Education.

"However, unlike the normal final exams, this time the test paper for attacking Class B was made by Class A. Therefore, the school specially gave us the pricing power for every point, and the individual points paid by Class B will also be transferred to our class account."

Upon hearing this supplementary rule, the students in the classroom, who had initially been somewhat disappointed, regained their interest and began asking all sorts of questions with great interest.

"We're really going to set the price? Then of course the higher the unit price, the better! Let's make it so they can't afford it, even if it's 20 million per cent!"

"That's impossible, there must be a limit, otherwise the points-buying system would be completely meaningless?"

"Then let's just set it as the upper limit. Anyway, we must make sure that the people in Class B get more personal points."

Although there were some students in the class, like Honami Ichinose, who showed a reluctant expression, under Shun Aragaki's leadership, everyone in the class tacitly agreed that all external kindness should prioritize the interests of Class A. Therefore, even the pink-haired girl did not say that she would give up this opportunity and let Class B cancel the expulsion punishment at a small cost.

Soon, with Hoshinomiya Chie deliberately letting him win, Aragaki Shun easily figured out the highest unit price for this purchase of points—that is, 20 personal points per point.

"Six points is equivalent to 1.2 million, which is a pretty good gain. It will make those people in Class B feel the pinch for a while."

To some extent, the reward and punishment rules of this PaperShuffle truly embody the concept of mutual plunder and winner-takes-all.

If you can beat the rival class in terms of average score, you can not only take away their evaluation points and make them fail by creating difficult questions, but also forcibly take away a lot of personal points.

But in general, these things circulated within the grade level, and the school didn't actually spend a single penny.

It seems the school is really leaning towards conservatism; I wonder when they'll hold the next special exam with exceptionally generous rewards...

.........

A few happy and a few sad.

As the losers in the competition, the atmosphere in Class 1B's classroom was so heavy that even breathing became a problem.

But soon, the person in the spotlight, Rokusuke Koenji, put down the mirror in his hand and took all the responsibility for this special exam upon himself.

“I didn’t expect Class A to use exam papers from other countries. This is my mistake as a leader and has nothing to do with the two groups that failed.”

"Therefore, I allowed the class to use its class funds to buy the missing 6 points without hesitation."

The requirement of 120 million personal points from Class A has been communicated to us through the class advisor.

Frankly speaking, after the points are used to lift the expulsion penalty, Class B's already dire financial situation will inevitably become even more severe.

However, compared to the four students dropping out of school, which reduced the class size to 34, this cost is barely bearable.

"That's settled then, Katsuragi boy, it's your turn to handle the transfer."

Faced with Koenji Rokusuke's request, Katsuragi Kohei sighed but nodded in understanding.

But after glancing around at the relieved classmates, the bald man seemed to have thought of something. His brows furrowed slowly, and he solemnly warned:

"The test papers made by Class A are indeed more difficult than ours, but the results also show that our class's overall academic ability is now really not as good as that of the students in Class A."

"I hope everyone will take this seriously and actively participate in future study sessions to catch up in this area. Otherwise, next time, and the time after that, there may not be anyone in the class who can spend points on buying credits."

The scores and rankings of the four first-grade classes are completely public within each class, so finding out the scores of other classes is not difficult.

For example, you could simply have a student take a picture of the blackboard in Class A.

In short, Katsuragi easily obtained the results of their biggest rival and was deeply worried about it.

The difference in average scores between the two classes is too great, not only because of the different difficulty of the exams, but also because of the difference in their actual abilities.

To put it another way, after Ayanokouji and Koenji finished making the exam papers, Katsuragi also did one himself. However, when comparing the final scores with Class A, he was ranked after Kanzaki Ryuji, which is equivalent to seventh place in Class A.

The problem is that he is now the third most academically gifted student in Class B, with only Koenji and Ayanokouji ahead of him.

Sigh, there are just too few talented people in their Class B.

Thinking of this, Katsuragi subconsciously looked at a brown-haired man with golden eyes and a stoic face.

The other party achieved an astonishing score of full marks in all eight subjects in this special exam, completely unaffected by the difficulty of the test papers.

Incidentally, in the entire first grade, only Ayanokoji and Shun Aragaki from Class A achieved this score.

These two seem to have exceeded the limit!

Perhaps for them, high school knowledge is no longer a problem, and they get full marks because the highest possible score on the test is full marks.

Why was this talented individual, who excels in both academics and martial arts and can easily accumulate ten million personal points, assigned to Class D along with Koenji when he enrolled?

Katsuragi fell into thought, and then once again cursed in his heart that the school's initial class division was a complete idiot and a mess.

So, based on the initial situation, besides Class C, their original Class A had the fewest people and also had to serve a capricious young lady...

Could we really be abandoned children assigned to accompany students in their studies?

I'm having some doubts about life, but I still have to face reality.

After a few seconds of melancholy, Katsuragi put those useless thoughts aside, opened the class account, and transferred 120 million personal points to Class A.

Looking at the balance in his account, which had suddenly dropped to 1394 million, this steady man felt as if his head was about to explode, and he suddenly became extremely pessimistic about the future of the class.

After the sports festival, Class B's evaluation score has increased to 1808. All 38 students in the class can accumulate 687 million personal points per month, which seems like a lot.

The problem is that they have to transfer 340 million yen in debt to Aragaki Shun every month, and then there's the transfer voucher consumption for Koenji, Ryuen Sho, and Ayanokouji for ten consecutive months, which adds up to 940 million yen.

The total living expenses and miscellaneous fees for everyone in the class add up to 60, which means the fixed monthly expenses are a whopping 1000 million personal points.

His fixed income consists only of the personal points he receives from the school each month, plus the 30 yen he receives from Majima Tomoya, totaling around 700 million yen.
