But the next second, the surge of heat within him immediately washed away his regret.

With the upgrade of his two talents, Shun Aragaki could easily feel himself becoming genuinely stronger.

"Whoo~"

The extraordinary being exhaled a breath of white mist, which condensed in mid-air and did not dissipate, being plated with a layer of light gold by star power.

Feeling the power within him like a swing of an arm, the boy instinctively raised his right hand, his mind subtly shifting:

"sword."

In an instant, particles of light seeped out from between the finger bones and instantly condensed into a one-handed longsword.

It is 90 centimeters long, with a spine as thin as a cicada's wing, and pale golden star patterns flowing inside the blade.

With a slight movement of his eyes, he casually swung his hand, cutting a straight vacuum rift in the air, which only emitted a belated "hiss" sound three seconds later.

"gun."

The sword shattered into countless shards of light, reforming into a two-and-a-half-meter-long, ancient spear with a single, cold star at its tip and spiraling star patterns covering its shaft—clearly a divine weapon not of this world.

"Armor."

His thoughts shifted again. The spear remained, but particles of light spread along his arm, condensing into a layer of matte metallic light armor on his body.

"shield."

As he spoke, Aragaki Shun raised his hand, palm facing upward, and unfurled a hexagonal light shield with a diameter of sixty centimeters in front of him...

In those ten minutes or so, the boy seemed to have acquired a new toy, constantly drawing the star power within his body to the outside, and then shaping it out of thin air into forms such as swords, spears, bows and arrows, armor, pagodas, bells and cauldrons.

That's right. When [Sun's Companion - Star Power] is upgraded to level 7, in addition to converting solar energy into star power more efficiently, it also naturally extends to corresponding form changes.

In other words, he will be able to manifest his star power in various forms according to his imagination.

Not only inanimate objects like weapons and props, but also the shapes of flowers, trees, birds, beasts, insects and fish are included... Although they only have the form but not the spirit, and are just for show, they are definitely enough to make you look cool!

With this thought in mind, Aragaki Shun focused his attention, and a majestic divine beast appeared before him: its horns resembled those of a deer, its head a camel, its eyes a rabbit, its neck a snake, its belly a clam, its scales a fish, its claws an eagle, its paws a tiger, and its ears a cow.

In less than half a minute, the light and heat dragon, which had not yet fully taken shape, was completely destroyed and dissipated back into streams of star power.

He wasn't too disappointed. After all, dragons aren't real creatures. Even if it's just simple shaping, it's normal to fail the first time if you're not skilled. You'll succeed after a few more tries.

However, he now has an even more important test to verify—

"wing."

As Shun Aragaki held his breath, two beams of light instantly unfolded behind him, condensing into giant wings pieced together from countless light feathers.

Each of its left and right wings is two meters long, and with each slight flap, tiny specks of light fall.

The next moment, the boy touched the ground with his toes, his wings suddenly spread out, and he jumped directly off the rooftop.

boom!

With a deafening roar, Shun Aragaki, as expected, did not fall to the ground. Instead, he floated in mid-air on an invisible force, like a radiant god who had stepped out of mythology.

Without a doubt, this is the flight accomplished by individual strength, the long-held dream of humankind, with its feet firmly planted on the ground.

Relying on the [Abnormal Correction] ability, which makes him invisible and inaudible, Shun Aragaki casually flew freely in the air within a radius of dozens of miles while leisurely testing his [Gluttony Sin], which had also been upgraded to level 7.

It's still a change in form, only the initial light, heat, and life-giving properties of star power have been reversed into darkness and devouring.

Of course, this increase in lethality is not important in this magic-free world.

The key is that, with the upgrade of the two talents, Aragaki Shun's efficiency in absorbing solar energy and converting it into star power increased by more than ten or even twenty or thirty times in an instant.

In a fantasy or martial arts world, this phenomenon would be considered an upgrade from a low-level cultivation technique to a high-level one.

Thinking of this, the boy's eyes flickered, and he spread his wings and flew towards the highest point he could reach.

A moment later, the invisible panel, visible only to him, changed again—

Name: Shun Aragaki

Strength: 21→21+

Physical condition: 21→21+

Agility: 20 → 21+

Spirit: 20→21+

技能:神兵百炼lv.6(0/20),文以载力lv.6(0/20),异常修正lv.6(0/20)

天赋:金刚琉璃lv.6(0/20),暴食大罪lv.7(0/40),太阳眷属·星力lv.7(0/40)

Items: Magical artifact (heart-protecting mirror), talismans (rejuvenation talisman, protective talisman, explosive flame talisman, star-guiding talisman)

To be condensed: None

Optional tasks: ① Inheritance and Propagation; ② Immortal's Touch

Source Power: 10 (Current efficiency: 8 items per month)

Without any source energy being invested, the four basic attribute values ​​on the panel were actually slowly increasing.

Although the change is very subtle, only increasing from 21 to 21.001 in a few minutes, it is a good thing as long as it can make one stronger.

This means that Shun Aragaki only needs to sunbathe for a period of time each day to raise his basic attributes at a considerable pace.

The idea of ​​using talent to enhance attributes has become a reality... How could anyone not be happy about this!

Without a doubt, he has everything he needs now except time!

324. Yuecheng Changcheng takes office as chairman of the board; class voting exam.

End of February.

With the surrender of the second grade and the end of the third semester final exams, the first grade could have peacefully passed the school year by simply facing one last special exam.

But one afternoon, an email from Director Kanda abruptly shattered this peace—

The matter is simple: Tsukishiro Tsuneshige, an ally sent by Ayanokoji Atsuomi, has replaced Kanda as the new acting chairman of Advanced Development.

This was expected news, and Shun Aragaki merely raised an eyebrow before gently putting it down.

Even if Kanda steps down as acting chairman, he will still be a member of the Advanced Education Council, and his influence on the school will not decrease much.

Even if Tsukishiro Tsuneo is temporarily appointed, he is still an outsider to Advanced Training, and it is hard to say how much power he can wield during his term.

After all, nothing in this world can be accomplished simply by sitting in a certain position and having absolute power. If power were that simple, then all of humanity would still be in the primitive First Dynasty era, instead of experiencing one dynastic change after another.

Let's wait and see—

Shun Aragaki was quite curious about where this new acting chairman would start causing trouble.

He just hadn't expected that, only two days after entering the school, Chang Cheng, the new administrator of Yuecheng, would immediately start his first major initiative...

.........

Meanwhile, in the chairman's office, where the handover of work had just been completed, Yuecheng Changcheng issued an order to summon the class advisors of all first-year classes.

With the end-of-year exams just finished, the teachers at Gaodu Yucheng High School are busy with various professional tasks.

With factors like advancing to a higher grade, dropping out of school, and preparations for graduation, plus the final special exam for the entire grade, every teacher is constantly overwhelmed by work at this time of year.

What's unexpected is that, with everyone so busy, such an absurd thing as having your immediate supervisor replaced still happened.

With mixed feelings in their hearts, they didn't know why Yuecheng Changcheng had called them over, but under the new acting chairman's request, the first-year homeroom teachers had no power to resist, so they could only put down their work and rush over.

Upon meeting their immediate supervisor, Hoshinomiya Chie, Majima Tomoya, Sakagami Kazuma, and Chabashira Sae exchanged glances and immediately took the lead in asking Tsukishiro for instructions: "Chairman Tsukishiro, all the first-year homeroom teachers have arrived. Please give your instructions."

Yuecheng Changcheng did not respond immediately, but carefully looked at everyone present. After seeing their meticulous attitude, he nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, you are all good talents. Seeing you all confirms that the teaching staff of Advanced Education is indeed worthy of its reputation."

Such nice words from politicians are best taken with a grain of salt; Hoshinomiya, Majima, and the others naturally wouldn't take them seriously.

However, you can't completely ignore your boss's praise, or you'd be unfairly targeted for it.

As a result, the atmosphere became exceptionally harmonious amidst the polite exchanges among the group of people from all walks of life, a situation where everyone was happy.

And so, the warm-up was over. Yuecheng Changcheng immediately squinted and casually revealed the purpose of his call for everyone to come:

"There's no need to be nervous. All you need to do is very simple: just announce to your respective classes that an extra special exam will be added."

"???"

"!!!"

After understanding Tsukishiro's purpose, the four homeroom teachers, led by Hoshinomiya Chie, frowned in unison, their expressions becoming serious.

While it's normal for a new broom to open up new possibilities, it's a bit too much for this acting chairman to make such a big fuss right from the start.

You know, there's only one week left. After March 8th, the first-year students will have their last special exam of the school year... This matter was arranged long ago. Now, Tsukishiro Tsuneo is going to insert a completely new and unknown assessment in the middle of the year. Has he completely disregarded the school's schedule?

Even though Hoshinomiya Chie usually loves to act cute and innocent, she didn't dare to be anything inappropriate at this moment.

With Shun Aragaki around, she was promoted to class advisor of Class A in the second month after the start of the semester. Even Class D, led by Sae Chabashira, was tightly controlled and became an appendage of her class.

What a wonderful situation this is! She doesn't want any accidents to happen!

The problem is that, upon taking office, this newly appointed acting chairman not only failed to investigate the graduating third-year students and the more experienced second-year students, but instead made no attempt to conceal his aim at the first-year students... Just who is he targeting?!

Of course, Hoshinomiya also understood that someone as insignificant as herself was definitely not worth targeting by her superior.

The first-year Class A is doing just fine now. If Yuecheng Changcheng arbitrarily adds special exams and causes the existing structure to change inexplicably, that would be terrible.

Needless to say, from the school's perspective, they have every reason to suppress Class A of the first year.

Therefore, Hoshinomiya Chie couldn't help but feel a little worried, and could only bite the bullet and step forward to offer her advice:

"Chairman Yuecheng, you see, the end of the third semester is approaching. There was a special exam scheduled for a week later, but now we have to add another one. Putting aside whether there is enough time, the key issue is that the students may not have enough energy to take two exams in one week."

"According to school practice, students should be given ample time to adjust after each special exam to avoid affecting their regular studies. How about we reschedule your upcoming assessment for next academic year? After all, it's only a month away..."

As a homeroom teacher who makes a living in advanced education, Hoshinomiya did not directly reject Chairman Tsukishiro's idea. She simply hoped that he could understand the difficulties faced by the first-year students and give them more time to prepare.

This sounded reasonable, but unfortunately, Tsukishiro still smiled with his eyes narrowed, leaving no room for choice in his words: "Teacher Hoshinomiya's suggestion is very good, but you only need to listen to the specific content of the exam, and then carry out the orders just like the former chairman did during his tenure."

At this moment, not only Hoshinomiya Chie, but also the other homeroom teachers were stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but mutter to themselves—

What is this? Once you have power in your hands, you start issuing orders?

Are you deliberately making things difficult for us first graders to assert your authority?

But there's nothing they can do; a higher rank can crush you, not to mention the vast difference between them and the acting chairman—it's like comparing heaven and earth.

The class advisors have no choice but to accept this.

Seeing that his colleagues were all silent, Majima Tomoya had no choice but to step forward and offer his support, "In that case, what kind of special exam does Chairman Tsukishiro want to add?"

"Ah, this." Yuecheng didn't hide his thoughts: "I looked at the information on this year's first-year students before I came, and they are far more outstanding than ever before."

“Aside from the fact that four students in Class D left Advanced Education due to crimes during the summer vacation, almost a whole school year has passed and no students in the first year have been punished or expelled.”

Hearing Yuecheng Changcheng's seemingly admiring tone, all the class teachers present felt a sense of unease.

What does setting up a special exam have to do with the fact that no first-graders were punished and expelled?

"That's right, the more outstanding someone is, the more carefully they need to be nurtured!"

Like a smiling tiger, Chairman Yuecheng squinted and said something outrageous: "How can a highly competitive school like Advanced Education School never have anyone eliminated? Considering this, I think we should give the students a sense of crisis, so I plan to add a special exam that will definitely cause someone from each class to drop out."

Hoshinomiya and the others: "???"

Is this new boss out of his mind?

Is it because this year's students are more outstanding than previous years that one student from each class should be expelled?

What kind of absurd logic is this!

When your mother gave birth to you, did she throw away her brain and raise the placenta instead?

"Chairman Tsukishiro, may I ask a question?" Majima Tomoya couldn't help but step forward.

Among the four homeroom teachers in the first grade, he has always been the one who pays the most attention to the students' growth, and he is known for his integrity and trustworthiness.

Faced with Yuecheng Changcheng's unreasonable arrangements, he felt that he could no longer remain silent.

But the acting chairman simply waved his hand, stopping Majima and the other teachers from doing anything. "Wait a few minutes, I haven't finished explaining the specifics of this special exam yet."

So the class advisors had to suppress their inner turmoil and force themselves to calm down and listen to the exam content designed by Yuecheng Changcheng.

To summarize, each first-grade student is required to select three classmates who deserve praise and three classmates who deserve criticism within their own class. Then, one classmate from each of the other three classes is selected as the one who deserves praise.
