In fact, I can add unlimited points

312. Why don't they reflect on their own problems? Class B is being exploited again and again.

What kind of punishment will Class B, which is isolated by the other three classes in the first grade, face if they cannot form groups within the time required by the school?

After bringing up the idea with great interest, Aragaki Shun ignored the unpleasant looks from Katsuragi Kohei, Ryuen Sho, and others, and simply pulled all the boys from Class A, Class C, and Class D aside.

It's clear he's serious, not just joking.

Seeing this, some impatient students in Class B immediately became agitated.

"Wait! No! This shouldn't be! You're disrupting the exam and wasting everyone's time. Aren't you afraid the school will blame you?"

"That's right. The school certainly wouldn't expel an entire class just because of a special exam. You're causing trouble for the teachers, and you'll definitely suffer the consequences in the end!"

"Aragaki, do you really have to push things to the extreme?"

Faced with these accusations and threats, the leader of Class A simply smiled and began to arrange the grouping of the three classes indifferently.

“My behavior is perfectly in accordance with the rules of this mixed training camp. You should mind your own business first.”

Even excluding Class B, the remaining three classes were still able to form groups of four students each, as required by the school.

Therefore, on the surface, the school has no reason to punish the three classes that acted reasonably and compliantly throughout the entire process.

"This special exam is a training camp with the main goal of spiritual growth. The school wants to test whether students can build interpersonal relationships with people they don't usually interact with."

"As a result, your Class B couldn't even get past the initial group assignments. You've come this far and you still haven't reflected on your own problems. You must have done a lot of bad things to be disliked by everyone in the other classes."

Hearing Shun Aragaki's self-righteous and lecturing remarks, people from Class A, Class C, and Class D couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Pfft~ That's right, that's right, it's all because the students in Class B are too arrogant. I see them strutting around like they're in the sky every day, so I don't want to have anything to do with them."

Shibata Hayate chuckled at first, then immediately straightened his face and began to spout nonsense with a straight face.

In fact, as losers who were overtaken and dropped in rankings in the first month, what confidence did the students of Class B have to put on the airs of Celestial Dragons in front of Class A?

But before the boys in Class B could even laugh in their anger, the subsequent kicks and kicks from Classes C and D nearly made them explode with rage.

“Boss Aragaki is right. The people in Class B are very frugal. They not only take the mountain vegetable set meal, but also the cleaning products such as shower gel and shampoo from the free area. I suspect they have bad breath and body odor. Never team up with them.”

"I agree, especially that guy named Totsuka Yahiko. Last time he called us trash from the lower-ranked classes. Heh~ Since he looks down on the lower-ranked classes, let the students from the upper-ranked classes go play by themselves."

"I don't know how the school will handle this situation. I hope something bad happens to them, and ideally, they'll expel everyone in Class B at once..."

In an instant, the atmosphere on the first-year students' side became extremely tense. Such a commotion immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the gymnasium, including the senior students and the school teachers.

When some curious older students gathered around and heard about the situation where the three first-year classes were isolating Class B, their expressions immediately became quite interesting—

Is there really such a trick? If the three classes team up, they can isolate the last class?

The leaders of the second and third grades suddenly had a burst of inspiration, their minds racing with countless changing ideas.

As a result, the atmosphere between not only the first graders, but also the second and third graders, became even more bizarre and sinister from that moment on.

Seeing this, Horikita Manabu, who was in charge of the overall situation in Class 3A, pushed up his glasses, and a helpless look appeared on his usually serious face.

He wasn't worried that his class would be isolated by the other three third-grade classes—

Even though Class B and Class C haven't given up on challenging Class A, he's still confident he can win over Class D.

In the worst-case scenario, the only option is to forgo the greatest benefit and have only two teams, A and D, compete against each other, with two small groups from B and C forming opposing teams.

The only problem is that, seeing this possibility, Class B and Class C will definitely try their best to win over Class D, and the compensation that Class A pays to Class D will definitely be much higher than originally planned.

All I can say is that this year's freshmen are really good at creating something interesting.

Then there's the second year, the former C class and the former D class that have already taken over the rankings of A class and B class... They also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to do something, but before they could even formally discuss it, they parted ways because of their respective positions.

The original Class C wanted to maintain its position as Class A, while the original Class D wanted to advance further, and there was already an irreconcilable conflict between the two sides.

Not to mention, if the three classes were to join forces to attack the last class, then deciding which class to target would be a problem in itself.

At this stage, the Nagumo Class, having lost Nagumo Masaru, remains the most unpopular; however, the biggest threat to the original Class C is actually the Kiriyama Class, backed by student council president Aragaki Shun; and among the original Class D, many still want to unite with the Nagumo and Kiriyama Classes to isolate the original Class C, first pulling them down from their position as Class A...

Because the situation was too complicated, and people with different ideas each had their own reasons, the result was that no one in the entire second year had the prestige to unite the three classes.

This group of people used this bargaining chip to test various things, and finally determined that only Shun Aragaki could implement this strategy with his exaggerated influence. So they all secretly paid attention to the developments on the first-year students' side, wanting to see what kind of ruling the school would make.

Seeing their class suddenly become the center of attention in the entire gymnasium, many boys in Class B became sweaty, worried that they would be ruthlessly expelled from school because they could not form groups according to the rules.

"...There's no point in arguing any further. We might as well go and ask the teachers nearby how the school would handle this situation."

Seeing that a group of Class B students, led by Totsuka Yahiko, were still arguing with people from Class C and Class D, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was speechless.

The school initially assigned these weaklings to the original Class A, clearly intending to drag the class down in order to balance the strength of each class, right?

Otherwise, the best masterpiece really can't understand what qualifications this group of people has to be recognized by the interviewer as a member of the strongest class, given their overall qualities.

Upon hearing this suggestion, Katsuragi Kohei realized what was happening and immediately stopped the rest of the class from doing what they were doing.

It's clearly not going to work to change the attitudes of three classes just by arguing.

Instead of wasting time here, we should try to find a way to turn things around by talking to the faculty and staff.

Feeling a little uneasy, the students of Class B subconsciously looked at Rokusuke Koenji, only to find that the chaebol heir simply took out a mirror and murmured as usual, "I'm so beautiful."

Many students in Class B had slight facial twitches, but they were used to this kind of scene, so they were able to calm down and wait patiently.

Unexpectedly, after Koenji composed himself, the other party immediately said:

"...This special exam is entirely arranged by Ayanokouji boy, so just follow his instructions."

A contest that never had a chance from the start is futile no matter what you do, and Meili Ge said he was too lazy to put in any more effort.

Class A's first-mover advantage is too great. Class B will have to accumulate enough strength and find a suitable opportunity to catch up.

This mixed training camp clearly left them no room to maneuver. Rather than making some less-than-elegant struggles, they might as well pretend to admit defeat and try a different approach to see if they could gain some other benefits.

For example, the second and third year students, these two older grades, haven't been completely overwhelmed by Aragaki Shun's influence yet, so it's unknown whether he can do anything about it...

On the other side, after Koenji Rokusuke expressed his willingness to relinquish authority, Ayanokouji, who was being treated as a subordinate, did not stand on ceremony. He immediately led a large group of B-class students to a corner in front of a seemingly prestigious faculty member. The faculty member and several other staff members appeared to be reporting something to their superiors on their mobile phones.

"Excuse me, teachers, may I interrupt you?"

Hinted at by Ayanokouji, Katsuragi Kohei approached several teachers and, adopting the demeanor of an excellent student, asked:

"We would like to inquire about the situation where Class B is struggling to complete its group formation before the deadline due to the deliberate isolation by the other three classes. We are wondering what measures the school will take against those three classes that deliberately disrupted the exam's teamwork?"

"..."

The staff members exchanged glances, all speechless at the way the question was phrased.

It's clear that they also witnessed the whole incident firsthand.

The senior class advisor, who was at the head of the class, stepped forward and said with a serious expression:

"Many types of situations have occurred in the mixed-gender dormitory over the years, and the school has extensive experience in dealing with all kinds of unexpected events."

“In cases like this where individual classes cannot form groups according to regulations, teachers have no right to intervene as long as no one is deliberately violating the rules. This is a major mistake on your part. If you cannot make changes before the deadline, the school will naturally punish you and force you to redistribute the groups.”

The attitude of the faculty and staff was clear: the school would not help Class B deal with the other three classes, since they followed the exam rules throughout and did not violate any regulations.

On the contrary, this isolated class... less than a year after enrollment, their diplomatic relations have deteriorated so much. How did you manage to do that...?

What? The leader of Class A on the other side is too strong. He has control over all three classes and leaves no room for error, which is why you can't even find at least two students from other classes who are willing to cooperate?

What's the reason for this? If the gap is really that big, then the school has even less reason to support some useless people!

"This mixed-study program assesses students' interpersonal skills. If the entire class cannot even form a group at the beginning, it can only mean that your external communication has completely failed."

Upon hearing this answer, Katsuragi Yasuhiro and the others immediately became serious.

Although they had anticipated this beforehand, they still felt extremely disappointed after receiving the answer and their hopes were dashed.

The exams haven't even officially started yet, and they're already being punished by the school for serious mistakes. Who can accept that?

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, still with his usual expressionless face, shook his head as he looked at the group of people that Aragaki Shun had brought over to watch the show, then turned to the upperclassman homeroom teacher in front of him and asked:

"What are the specific details of the school's disciplinary actions? After the disciplinary action, how will the forced reassignment to a new group take place?"

There was nothing to hide about these two questions, so the middle-aged homeroom teacher answered them quite readily.

"If the group cannot be set up before the deadline, the school will deduct 100 points from the class evaluation score for the same class, for the reason of a major mistake. This applies to both the boys' group and the girls' group."

"After the punishment is completed, the school will order the other three classes to be reassigned to six groups, requiring the isolated class to be included in them."

We can't just let this mixed-school exam be abandoned halfway because of one class, can we?

Therefore, the school's attitude can be described as seeking stability, and it has a strong sense of appeasement.

Class B's serious mistake certainly warrants a deduction of points, but after the punishment, the other classes should stop causing trouble and focus on getting them back to complete the special exam.

"So, by the time limit, Class B will at most lose 200 class evaluation points, and then we'll have to pick them into 6 groups?"

Shun Aragaki pursed his lips, but he wasn't surprised by the result.

In a highly educated institution, the school is the sole referee and cannot allow students to act recklessly without any limits.

Class B is now isolated by the other three classes because they are not cooperative and cannot meet the assessment requirements. However, if the other classes continue to refuse to cooperate after punishing Class B, it would be a pure provocation against the school's will.

A penalty of 200 class evaluation points is not small, considering that a normal expulsion would only result in a deduction of 300 class evaluation points.

The key now is—

"So, Ayanokouji and Katsuragi, what are your thoughts now? Are you going to let the school deduct these 200 class evaluation points?"

Upon hearing that playful tone, everyone in Class B felt a chill run down their spines, and some of the boys almost fainted.

This scene was all too familiar to them.

Over the past six months, countless times have happened, and the final result is that Class B has to provide Shun Aragaki with 340 million personal points every month.

Damn it, you're here again?

You really think Class B is a fat sheep that you can't skim off, huh?

Even Kiyotaka Ayanokoji felt a strange sense of powerlessness in the face of such an open and overt scheme.

Even the most skilled cook can't cook without rice. No matter how masterpiece the White Room is, it can only retreat step by step under Aragaki Shun's snowballing advantage.

In any case, the role of strategy is simply to use existing conditions to achieve great results with minimal effort, but if you don't even have that, then no matter how much you try, it's meaningless.

As for directly activating the "power of punches" strategy... his intuition told him that he couldn't beat his opponent.

There's no way around it; it looks like the class will have to give back all the spoils they obtained during the winter break through illegal means.

313. Sharing the spoils and a community of shared interests; the victor must thoroughly humiliate the loser.

Reluctantly, after learning of the school's stance from the faculty and staff, the students of Class B, led by Katsuragi Kohei and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, chose to bow to reality.

The school stipulated that the deadline for the setup groups was 8 p.m., and since today was the first day of the mixed dormitory accommodation, the entire afternoon was free time to allow students to complete their dormitory setup at their own pace.

Now that they had found out the specific punishment measures, Katsuragi and the others were not in a hurry to negotiate with the leaders of Class A. Instead, they went straight out of the gymnasium and tried to contact the girls' group.

As expected, thanks to Shun Aragaki's prior instructions, the girls in Class B were also isolated by the other three classes and still couldn't find anyone willing to form a group together.

Katsuragi Kohei sighed, and could only humiliatingly step forward as a representative to discuss the relevant conditions with Aragaki Shun, so that the class could minimize its losses.

After some negotiation, Class B of the first year managed to avoid having 200 class evaluation points deducted before the exams even officially began. However, in return, the number of personal points they needed to transfer to the leader of Class A each month successfully increased from 340 million to 380 million.

If this transaction is not carried out, Class B will directly lose 200 class evaluation points, and since the class has 38 students, it will lose 76 personal points every month.

Right now, all we're doing is transferring an extra 40 personal points to Shun Aragaki every month... It's hard to accept, but that's all we can do.

Of course, Shun Aragaki also stated that if Class B was willing to transfer all 530 million yen obtained during the winter break through the shop incident, then this transaction could be settled in one go.

But this second option was rejected outright by Katsuragi and Ayanokouji without even needing to be considered.

There are still 27 months until graduation from the first year. This contract, which costs 40 personal points per month, has a total value of 1080 million on the surface.

It seems that Shun Aragaki kindly reduced half of the debt for them, but for Class B, which is currently supporting three transfer students, they would rather accept the debt that allows for installment payments than give up the 530 million yen that they already have in their hands.

Without a doubt, this is like drinking poison to quench thirst.

But given the current situation, what can be done?

If the current difficulties are not resolved, Class B will only perish even faster. They no longer have time to pay attention to more serious hidden dangers in the future. They can only survive and continue to live on before they can talk about how to live better.

.........

Shun Aragaki happily accepted the contract covered in signatures, not really caring what the other party thought.

Under the grim faces of Katsuragi and the others, the first thing the leader of Class A did after exploiting their class was not to form groups, but to divide the spoils on the spot.

"Come on, everyone in Class A, Class C and Class D of the first grade has 20,000 personal points. Thanks to our generous Class B students, everyone gets a share."

Because his phone had been confiscated, he couldn't transfer the money immediately. So, Shun Aragaki went directly to Chie Hoshinomiya and, with the school as a witness, issued an IOU worth 20,000 personal points to each student who had followed instructions and completed the task of isolating Class B.
