In fact, I can add unlimited points

In other words, Class B's financial resources are running a deficit of about 300 million yen every month. This is why, even though Ayanokouji and Ryuen Sho each brought in 1000 million yen, the class account balance is still decreasing so quickly.

Koenji's permanent transfer will require five installments, while the other two will require six. If they do not have other sources of income, they will most likely not be able to hold on until then.

Does this mean that in the end, we'll have to abandon one of them?

Katsuragi absolutely did not want things to develop to that point, but if something were to happen, then the only option was to make the sacrifice...

.........

Shifting the focus to Class D, Matsushita Chiaki's ranking suddenly rose to the top three in the class, unsurprisingly attracting the attention of everyone in the class.

However, after Yamauchi and the others dropped out of school, the atmosphere in Class D was not as bad as it had been at the beginning. With the help of Karuizawa Kei, no one openly questioned her.

The girl breathed a sigh of relief, but soon rested her chin listlessly on the table, looking somewhat dejected.

Matsushita Chiaki discovered a major problem: he had indeed been hiding his strength, but not much, and even if he gave it his all this time, it seemed to be just so-so.

While I was playing sexy games with my friends and going shopping and having fun every day, the students in Class A were working hard to improve, but my ranking wasn't as high as I had imagined.

If it were when she first entered school, she could definitely secure a place in the top 10% of her grade, but now, it seems that she probably can't do it anymore?

Wow~ I think I'm really going to be useless!

And what's the deal with Ayanokoji Kiyotaka?

Aren't you the same type as me?

How did he suddenly become a monster with perfect scores in all subjects!

Could it be that I'm the only one who actually turned out to be a pig after pretending to be one...?

284. Student Council Election; The Fate Arranged for Nan Yunya

Regardless of what the other three classes think, Class A is traditionally scheduled to hold a celebration banquet after winning the special exam.

Aragaki Shun waved his hand and led the class to play karaoke for several hours, which could be considered as practicing a balance between work and rest, after all, they had just finished more than a month of intense review.

Then, as the party was about to end, Horikita Manabu suddenly sent him an email asking him to come to the student council office the next day.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the rules and timing for the student council's re-election should be finalized by now.

It's important to note that today is December 9th, and PaperShuffle is like the final exam for the first year. Therefore, the second semester's closing ceremony will be held on December 22nd, which is only two weeks away.

As is customary at Advanced Education, the student council president, along with all third-year student council members, steps down at this time of year.

With only one semester left in third grade, all attention needs to be focused on the final sprint.

On the other hand, it is also to allow the new leadership team of the student union to take office as soon as possible and adapt to various tasks as quickly as possible. If any mistakes are made along the way, the more experienced members of the previous student union who have not yet graduated can help out.

In short, the requirement of the Advanced Training Program is that a new student council president must be elected before December 20th, and the only candidates are the vice presidents, Shun Aragaki and Masaru Nagumo.

However, compared to the student council president position that was a sure thing, Shun Aragaki was more concerned about whether he could use this opportunity to kick Nagumo out of Advanced Training.

This person seems like a mad dog; once someone targets them, they'll cause all sorts of trouble.

Once Horikita graduates, Nagumo's primary target for persistent pursuit will inevitably become Aragaki Shun himself. Rather than worrying about it then, it's better to just drop him out of school now.

While plotting a plan that had already taken shape, the leader of Class A unknowingly approached Ryuji Kanzaki and asked him about the personal points accumulated in the class account.

Hmm~ Logistics are the first thing to consider before a war; that's an absolute truth.

"Running for student council president with Nagumo Masa?"

Kanzaki seemed a little confused when he heard the news. Wasn't the second-year student, who had the blond-haired senior, already beaten half to death?

Given all this, where does the other side get the courage to continue competing with Aragaki?

To be honest, Vice President Nan Yun's courage is truly astonishing!

After muttering a couple of complaints to himself, Kanzaki shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand but accepted it. Then he took out his phone and swiped to bring up the class account interface, showing the income and expenditure details below as well.

At first glance, Aragaki Shun saw that 3020 million personal points were prominently displayed in the most conspicuous position.

Not a lot, but not a small amount either.

According to the following detailed billing records, after the summer vacation's preferential exams, Class A's class fees once reached 3895 million yen.

However, at the beginning of the second semester, seven students transferred to our class.

Sakayanagi Arisu paid for her own expenses, Horikita Suzune's brother paid for her 20 million yen, and Aragaki Shunya paid for Yamamura Miki's transfer fee out of his own pocket.

Even so, four people remain: Wang Meiyu, Kamuro Masumi, Morishita Ai, and Kito Hayato, who need to use class funds to buy transfer tickets.

In other words, starting in September, Class A will have to spend 8 million every month until June of next year.

However, this is not an unbearable financial burden for the students in Class A.

In September and October, their class evaluation score was 2122. There were 48 students in the class, and the total class fees they paid each month amounted to 509 million yuan.

After the sports festival, the class evaluation score in November and December further increased to 2722, and the monthly class fee income was 653 million.

In this way, after four months of installment payments, deducting the monthly management salary of 20 and some miscellaneous expenses such as celebration banquets, plus the 120 million transferred from Class B, the final balance of Class A's class funds is 3020 million.

Well, the total loss over the four months was only a little over 800 million. There's no need to worry about the remaining six months. After all, after this special exam, Class A plundered 100 evaluation points from Class B, and the amount of class fees to be submitted will increase in the future.

"It seems the class is financially well-off; we could easily invite a few more students to transfer, but there aren't any suitable candidates at the moment."

Shun Aragaki nodded as he handed the phone back to Kanzaki, then opened his personal account, which showed a personal points balance of 103 million, already exceeding his "small goal" of 100 million.

After helping Miki Yamamura complete her class transfer in September, he still had 6640 million yen left.

Then, after the adjustments made during the sports festival, the Karuizawa team needed to transfer 120 million yen to him every month, the Ibuki team's monthly debt rose to 200 million yen, while the Katsuragi team's debt remained at 340 million yen.

Add to that Sakagami Kazuma's monthly income of 20, his class salary of 10, his royalty exchange limit of 56, and deduct the monthly apartment rent of 10... Since October, his fixed income has soared to 736 million personal points per month.

After three months, with the 15 million yen transferred to him by Nagumo Masaru, and after deducting some miscellaneous expenses, Shinichi Aragaki's total personal points reserves have reached 103 million yen.

In other words, even without using the class's resources, he could easily transfer five students to other classes based solely on his own assets, and then add another transfer spot every three months.

There are still 27 months until this year's students graduate. Given the current situation, even without more income in the future, he and the class funds can definitely raise enough for 20 transfer slots.

Including the eight students who transferred classes previously, and if everyone in the class contributes their savings, the final number of transfer slots could potentially reach a terrifying 40—that is, using 800 million personal points to allow another class to join Class A completely.

"That's really a bit of an exaggeration!"

Ryuji Kanzaki rubbed his temples, horrified by the idea. "I wonder if Advanced Nurturing has considered this possibility. If so many people were to graduate from Class A, could they still guarantee the conditions they promised?"

Well, it should be fine. After all, it's a record under Prime Minister Sakurajima's administration. It's unlikely that it would be so bad that it couldn't handle the doubled quota.

Compared to such an unfounded worry, Kanzaki was more interested in whether the class funds he managed would ever catch up with Shun Aragaki's personal assets.

Even though he's said it many times, he still has to say it's outrageous that he single-handedly suppressed the total class funds collected from all 48 students... Aragaki, just how much blood did you suck from the other three classes!

.........

The next morning, Shun Aragaki arrived early at the student council activity room and met Manabu Horikita and Ikuyo Kiriyama there.

Incidentally, the results of the special exam for second graders were also released yesterday. According to Aragaki Shun's arrangement, Kiriyama's class, in exchange for giving up the top two spots in this competition, joined forces with the original Class C and Class D of the second graders to further reduce Nagumo's class to last place.

According to the school's rules, the first to fourth place winners in this special exam would receive 400, 300, 200, and 100 points respectively, resulting in another significant change in the evaluation scores of the four second-grade classes.

Grade 2 Class A (formerly Class C) 99 points → 499 points

Grade 2, Class B (formerly Class D): 72 points → 372 points

Grade 2 Class C (Nanyun Class) 56 points → 156

Grade 2, Class D (Tongshan Class): 0 points → 200

That's right, after this special exam, Nan Yunya's class was demoted to Class D in the second year, becoming the lowest in the school's hierarchy of contempt.

That's wonderful news!

"Hey~ Look at Kiriyama, your smug grin is way too obvious, isn't it?"

Sitting opposite Horikita Manabu, Aragaki Shun glanced at Kiriyama Ikuha, who seemed to be gloating over his success, and made a sarcastic remark in a playful tone.

"President Aragaki is right..."

Responding with a hint of flattery, Kiriyama tried to suppress the elation in his heart and keep a serious expression on his face.

But that's simply impossible!

The thought that everyone in Nan Yunya's class had become members of Class D made him feel incredibly excited, as if he were wearing new underwear to welcome the new year's morning.

Hahaha~ I'm dying of laughter! Someone as arrogant as Nan Yunya was actually forced to be labeled as a defective product from Class D!

Thinking back to the gloomy look on the other person's face when they met today, Kiriyama Ikuha felt that the joy at this moment surpassed all her past memories.

Hold it in! Hold it in... but I really can't hold it in! Hahaha—!!!

Shun Aragaki and Manabu Horikita exchanged a glance, then shook their heads helplessly, deciding to simply ignore this idiot who had been grinning like a fool since yesterday.

"President, have the rules and schedule for the student council election been finalized?"

"Naturally, because of your request, the rules for this general election haven't changed much. All students in the school still vote together, so the relevant matters were resolved quickly."

Pushing up his glasses, Horikita Manabu gave Aragaki Shun a meaningful look and scrutinized him for two seconds.

Logically speaking, he should be able to amend the election rules to favor Aragaki Shun.

They suddenly said it wasn't necessary, so they changed the voting format, leaving everything else unchanged. I don't know what they're up to.

"The date is set for December 20th. Before 10:00 AM, the school will send an email to all students in all three grades with the names of you and Nan Yun, the two candidates. The person with the most votes will be elected as the student council president."

"The day after the results are released, a handover ceremony will be held, where both student council presidents will give speeches. The graduation ceremony will be on December 22nd, officially ending the second semester..."

After explaining the simple rules, Horikita Manabu handed over the documents, still unable to figure out what the other party wanted to do with this student council general election.

Compared to previous years' elections, this year's election rules have not changed much; the only difference is that the anonymous voting across the entire school has been replaced with voting by mail.

In other words, as long as they have enough personal points and are willing to spend money, Shun Aragaki and Masaru Nagumo can find out the source of all the votes from the school.

But what's the point of this?

Horikita Manabu has been thinking about this for a long time, but he still can't figure it out.

If it were truly just for the student council president position, there would be no need to expend so much effort.

The two of them working together could completely influence the rules, putting Nagumo in a position of being a mere participant from the very beginning.

But for Shun Aragaki, if he doesn't give his blond-haired senior even a glimmer of hope for a comeback, how could the other guy be willing to gamble everything for that one slim chance of victory?

"Isn't it great that all the students in the 12 classes across three grades voted together via email? It's fair, just, and transparent."

The boy's lips curled up slightly, as if in pleasure or anticipation.

"Now I have the votes for Class A, Class C, and Class D in the first grade. Kiriyama's class will definitely vote for me. If I add the votes for the president's Class A in the third grade, I only have five classes in my hands. It seems like I'm still a bit short."

Kiriyama Ikuha: "..."

Horikita Manabu: "..."

Both of them were speechless. Out of 12 classes in the whole school, you have already decided on five of them in advance. How can you talk about fairness and justice?

Needless to say, Class A of Grade 1 has 48 students, Class C has 38 students, Class D has 32 students, Tongshan Class has 35 students, and Class A of Grade 3 has 40 students... The two Class A classes have the first and second largest number of students in the whole school, respectively, and Class C of Grade 1 is also able to rank third. Only Class B of Grade 1 can tie with them.

In this situation, Shun Shingaki, who has already gained the support of five classes, is not far from having half of the total number of students in the school.

It can be said that if he could win over just one more class, whichever one it is, he could immediately decide the outcome of this student council election.

Conversely, if Nan Yunya wants to turn the tide in this situation, the only thing she can do is to gather all the votes from the remaining seven classes.

There is no other choice!

Thinking of this, Horikita Manabu felt a shiver run down his spine, instinctively feeling immense dread about such methods.

Although he still didn't know what Aragaki's hidden goal was, he knew one thing—when all that's left in front of you is the path chosen for you by your enemy, everything is already beyond redemption.

After silently mourning for Nan Yunya for half a second, the outgoing student council president took a deep look at the junior opposite him, but couldn't help feeling much more relaxed.

There's only one semester left in the third year, but the gap between Class A and Class B isn't that big. If Nan Yun is allowed to remain as student council president, the other side will definitely unite with the second and third year students to target their class in order to compete with him.

But now he finally doesn't have to worry about that problem anymore!

Faced with Aragaki Shun's scheme, Nagumo was barely able to protect himself, so he had no time to continue targeting Class 3-A.

I hope something happens to him...

285. Nagumo Ya's arduous struggle; cruel reality and determination.

After the final exams, there are less than two weeks left until the winter break.

Many people feel that the semester is coming to a smooth end and they are starting to prepare for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and the New Year.

But at this moment, the school suddenly announced that the student council would be holding a re-election, with a vote to elect the next student council president from two candidates.

The students, who had thought nothing more would happen, were suddenly in an uproar, and the atmosphere on the entire campus of the Advanced Education Center instantly became lively.
