In fact, I can add unlimited points

After this process is completed, the praise votes and criticism votes received by each participant are offset one-to-one to determine the first place and the last place.

The former will receive protection points worth 20 million, while the latter will be ruthlessly expelled from school.

"...That concludes the content of the first-year class voting exam, as well as information regarding the import of the latest system."

After explaining the specific exam rules to the class advisors, Tsukishiro Tsuneo casually glanced around at Majima and the others who were listening intently.

"If any teacher has any questions now, they can raise them on the spot. Otherwise, if problems arise when it is officially implemented, don't blame me for handling it according to the school rules and regulations."

"Please forgive my rudeness," Majima Tomoya said, taking a deep breath under the silent pressure, secretly adjusting his mindset.

From an official standpoint, Chairman Yuecheng's near-absurd assessment is completely inconsistent with the basic qualities of faculty and staff.

Privately speaking, the other three first-year classes have student council president Shun Aragaki as a safety net, and they might be able to overcome the risk of dropping out by accumulating a large number of personal points. However, his first-year class B is the only one that has no ability to resist this class voting exam.

Regardless of the odds, he would try his best to stop this unreasonable special exam.

"Perhaps the chairman has other considerations in this matter, but just because this year's first-year students are too outstanding, is it not a bit unreasonable to forcibly select dropouts from all classes?"

"I know it's rude of me to say this, but Chairman Yuecheng, you've only just taken office at this school. Although I don't know how you made your judgment, I believe that this special exam doesn't align with the school's teaching philosophy and won't bring any beneficial growth to the students!"

Setting aside her concerns about Tsukishiro Tsunehiro's status, Mashima protested somewhat sternly for the sake of the children who would fill the future.

"I second that. The students in our class have proven themselves to be elites through repeated assessments. I don't think any of them should be expelled!"

As the homeroom teacher of Class A, Hoshinomiya Chie knew that she had to stand up at this moment and absolutely could not let Majima Tomoya fight alone.

The remaining Kazuma Sakagami and Sae Chabashira were relatively casual, but they clearly did not understand or support the new chairman's actions.

Yuecheng had no objection to this.

He himself knew how absurd this impromptu class voting exam was. If none of the four homeroom teachers dared to stand up and express their opposition, it would only make him look down on them.

This is a value assessment of being human.

Assess whether you are merely a member of society, an adult, and a teacher who works only to earn a salary.

Therefore, when Tsukishiro heard Majima and Hoshinomiya's protests, he happily showed his white teeth.

"I am very pleased that you are both teachers who genuinely care about your students, and you are indeed actively protecting the interests of the students in your class."

"Then please reconsider..."

"But that's not the same thing!" Yuecheng said, offering advice from someone who had been through it all.

“Young children have much stronger learning abilities than adults. I took this into consideration, which is why I postponed its application to second and third graders and only focused on the application of the new exam to first graders.”

"Because if they are first-year students, they haven't fully embraced the school's style yet. If the new approach is successful, it will be easier to try this mechanism on the next year's freshmen."

They're even targeting freshmen?

Majima's forehead creased with several "#" characters, utterly bewildered. "No first-year students dropped out this year due to the special exams. Do you find these results particularly offensive?"

"The current record is meaningless. We must focus on the future, on the future."

Yuecheng emphasized without changing his expression:

“This school is highly anticipated by the government. It is a newly established school that is conducting experimental trials and has a very short history. That’s why I think we should try all sorts of things.”

"As the chairman of the board, I have the responsibility to decide on guidelines and lead the school, but the chairman is also a puppet. I am just someone employed by a corporation supported by the government at the highest level."

At this point, Majima and the others knew that there was no point in continuing to resist.

Ultimately, they can do nothing when faced with those in true power.

"Unsuitable individuals will be excluded; that's a social mechanism, no, it's the law of nature. Besides, haven't I already conceded and agreed to import [protection points]?"

With that sentence, Yuecheng clapped his hands, effectively suppressing the opinions of all the first-year homeroom teachers.

At this point, the class-based voting exam is confirmed to be implemented.

There are no longer any obstacles at the school level.

325. Ayanokoji Kiyotaka drops out of school? Aragaki Shun chooses to intensify his efforts!

The day after Wolseong Jōsei took office.

Shun Aragaki was invited to the chairman's office.

"Nice to meet you, Aragaki-kun."

Upon arriving at their destination, the student council president met a middle-aged man with squinty eyes who appeared to be about 50 years old.

The other party should be the newly appointed acting chairman of Advanced Education, sent by Atsuomi Ayanokoji.

Interestingly, in less than a year since enrolling, Shun Aragaki has already met three very different chairpersons in this reception room.

The turnover rate of the chairman of the Advanced Training Institute is a bit too fast, from the initial Sakayanagi Shigemori, to the previous Kanda director, and now Tsukishiro Tsuneshige...

Just kidding!

This kind of thing is definitely not normal—

Whether it was Sakayanagi Narimori's suspension, Kanda's rise to power, or Tsukishiro Tsunehiro's parachuting in, they were all related to the political maneuvering behind Advanced Education, and could not be considered normal occurrences.

Like a scene from some online novels: nothing much has happened in a certain place for decades or even centuries, but as soon as the protagonist arrives, all the conflicts are immediately ignited... The reason why this year's advanced education students have caused such an extraordinary commotion is mainly because the identities of many of the new students are not ordinary.

Like the greatest masterpiece of the White Room, the daughter of the chairman of Sakayanagi, the heir of the Koenji Zaibatsu and the noble son of Kanzaki Heavy Industries.

Add to that Shun Aragaki, the cheater and adopted son-in-law of the Aragaki family, and even the most knowledgeable school officials would surely be secretly lamenting the chaotic state of affairs.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, but the boy did not show them on his face. Instead, he calmly responded to Yuecheng Changcheng's greeting, "Hello, nice to meet you, Chairman Yuecheng."

"Hehe~ Sit down first," Yuecheng said, his eyes still narrowed, making it impossible to see what he was thinking through his gaze. "Although this is our first meeting, I have long heard of Aragaki-san. I have heard about Aragaki-san's deeds many times, both outside and at school."

Clearly having some knowledge of Aragaki Shun, Tsukishiro Tsuneaki gestured for him to sit down, indicating that he could sit directly on the small sofa opposite him.

"I've always been very curious about Aragaki-kun. I really don't know what kind of outstanding person he is, to be the adopted son-in-law of such a huge family who can entrust his family name to him."

Shun Aragaki sat down calmly, seemingly unconcerned by Tsukishiro's probing gaze, his demeanor exuding a relaxed air: "Unfortunately, I didn't have high expectations for Chairman Tsukishiro. Just hearing of your arrival told me that my carefree and enjoyable high school life was about to take an unexpected turn."

Unexpectedly, the other party was so impolite, and Yuecheng Changcheng, who was still smiling, subconsciously froze for a moment.

"...It seems that Aragaki-san has misunderstood me?"

“I don’t think there’s any misunderstanding. After all, you became the chairman of Advanced Education under the orders of Ayanokoji Atsuomi, and my stance is undoubtedly the opposite of that man’s.”

Shun Aragaki calmly pointed out the two camps, and then bluntly said, "Not to mention, I am closer to Director Kanda, whom you replaced, and it is obviously more helpful for my life in this school to have him continue to lead Advanced Education."

In short, they were not on the same wavelength, so the boy was too lazy to engage in any insincere pleasantries with the other party.

Yuecheng Changcheng: "..."

How to do?

What the other party said made such a good point that there was no way to refute it.

The problem is that you are, after all, the heir to a large family, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, you will inevitably stand at the pinnacle of a nation in the future.

In this situation, didn't the Aragaki family teach you anything about interpersonal relationships and social etiquette?

Politicians, even if they secretly wish their enemies dead, cannot show it.

This is a public place, and everyone should maintain a certain level of decorum. Why turn on someone so abruptly?

While secretly sighing at the impatience of young people, Yuecheng Changcheng maintained his smiling demeanor, naturally shifting his conversation to the main topic.

"So it turns out that Aragaki-kun is an impatient person, then I won't waste any more words."

"The reason I called Aragaki over is that I hope that as the student council president of this school, Aragaki can do me a favor."

After brewing two cups of tea on the coffee table, Yuecheng Changcheng adopted a serious attitude and spoke with great sincerity:

"My goal in coming to this school is definitely not to make things difficult for Aragaki-kun. Once the things I need to do are done, the position of Chairman of the Board of Directors of Advanced Education will naturally return to its original position."

"Help..." Shun Aragaki's attitude was somewhat ambiguous. "What can't the chairman of the board do in this school that he needs to ask an ordinary student for help?"

No matter how you look at it, someone like you shouldn't be considered an ordinary student!

Yuecheng Changcheng silently complained to himself—

In this highly educated institution, the student council holds a very special position, with the student council president wielding power that even surpasses that of most faculty and staff.

Now that he is the chairman of the board, he can easily suppress ordinary student council presidents, since the power of the student council ultimately comes from the school.

However, the person in front of him was not only the student council president, but also the heir to a powerful family.

In Sakurajima's political circles, the Aragaki family's influence is beyond imagination. Not to mention Ayanokoji Atsuomi, who only recently rose to power through the White Room, even if his former boss Naoe were to return to his peak, it would be difficult to say whether he would win or lose in the confrontation with the faction represented by that family.

Of course, now that the island's councilors have successfully won the election and come to power, Advanced Education doesn't really care about any student's background. Even if they are children of powerful and wealthy families, as long as there is a suitable reason, they can be randomly assigned to a lower-level class when class is assigned.

After all, the competition in this school is just a game between children. For those behind the scenes, all they need to do is make sure their own children are not deliberately suppressed or suffer a great loss.

The key point is that, even after assuming the chairmanship, Tsukishiro Tsuneobu still needs to be reasonable when dealing with such a person with an extraordinary background.

Conversely, Yuecheng, who yesterday forcefully demanded that all faculty and staff participate in a class-based voting exam, didn't need to reason with anyone—as the chairman of the board of directors of the Advanced Education Foundation, he simply had the right to demand that the faculty and staff carry out his orders.

If Shun Aragaki were merely a privileged son of a powerful family, like Rokusuke Koenji, then when Tsukishiro arranged the special exams, there would have been no need to seek a student's opinion.

However, the other party happens to be the student council president of this school, and according to the system requirements, he does have the right to participate in the formulation of rules for special examinations.

In this way, Tsukishiro's ability to arrange exams not only couldn't overcome Aragaki Shun, but also couldn't use his background to intimidate him and force the arrangements; he had to follow the rules and proper procedures... which was quite frustrating.

"Well, Aragaki-san should know something about white rooms, right?"

By deliberately adopting a helpless posture, Yuecheng Changcheng acted like a poor, exploited worker being squeezed by a heartless boss.

"Then you should also know that Kiyotaka Ayanokouji from Class 1-B is a member of the White Room. I came here on the instructions of his father, Councilor Ayanokouji, to bring the rebellious child back to that facility."

“There is no real conflict between us. Once I complete my mission and deprive Class B of a usable combatant, wouldn’t that be a good thing for Class A as well?”

It sounded like a reasonable argument, but Shun Aragaki only gave it a cold laugh:

"So your idea of ​​bringing Ayanokouji Kiyotaka back is to make all four first-year classes vote to elect a student who will drop out?"

Before being invited to the reception room, the student council had already received information about the class voting exam, which Aragaki Shun promptly rejected.

It is important to emphasize that when participating in the formulation of special examination rules, even the student council president can only modify some permitted aspects within the framework set by the school, and does not have the power to refuse special examinations.

On the other hand, under the highly specialized system, according to past practice, the school must also leave some rule gaps for the student council to participate in in each special exam, so as to cultivate the professional abilities of student council members.

Therefore, Shun Aragaki really had no way to reject the class voting exam proposed by Tsukishiro Tsunehira.

However, this did not prevent him from maintaining a professional attitude and reasonably delaying the time, since this special exam, which was added on the spot, did indeed have many questionable aspects.

Under normal circumstances, his method of causing trouble by delaying would certainly not be very effective.

If the school determines that the student council is unwilling to fulfill its responsibilities and refuses to cooperate with the school's work, even the student council president may be punished or even stripped of their position.

The problem is that Tsukishiro Tsuneshige's actions are not normal.

It's the last day of February, and there's only one week left until the last special exam of the school year, which was originally scheduled.

The new chairman's decision to launch class voting at this time was already unusually rushed. The standard procedures, including faculty and staff preparations, announcing exam rules, having students in each class use various methods to garner votes, conducting the voting, and tallying the results, all require time.

If Aragaki Shun only delays for a day or two, this not-so-rigorous plan will immediately fall apart.

Then, we can give the council a heads-up. The student council president will most likely not even be punished. On the contrary, Yuecheng will be labeled as "newly appointed but unfamiliar with the rules of advanced education and messing things up without authorization".

It was precisely because he understood this that the newly appointed chairman, who was unreasonable in front of the class advisors yesterday, was now willing to sit down and talk to Shun Aragaki in a good tone.

"I'm sorry, Chairman Yuecheng, it's understandable that you want to make a name for yourself since you're new here, but I still think the so-called class vote is ill-considered."

Hearing the sarcasm in the other person's words, the middle-aged man remained unfazed and continued to argue:

www.ShuB123.com

"There's no other way. Mr. Ayanokouji is pressing me hard, so I have to act quickly. It wouldn't be good if it affected my reputation."

"Although it may be an undeserved disaster for students in other classes, I am certain that this class vote will be a decisive blow to that child."

At this point, Yuecheng's lips twitched, as if he had remembered some strange information, and he was clearly about to lose his composure.

"I never imagined that Mr. Ayanokouji's child, the masterpiece of the White Room, would almost be expelled from school for taking upskirt photos..."

Without a doubt, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji's reputation for being highly skilled in nurturing is irreparable.

Especially among the female students, after the main culprits such as Haruki Yamauchi and Kanji Ike were punished, Ayanokoji, as a former close friend of theirs and the only survivor of the pool peeping incident, had long become a thorn in the side of all the female students in the school.

Therefore, in Tsukishiro Tsuneaki's mind, as long as the class voting exam could be implemented, the other party would definitely be the one with the most criticism votes in Class B—regardless of what he really thought, that was the meaning he conveyed in front of Aragaki Shun.

However, the leader of Class A simply rolled his eyes at this.

Ultimately, most of the students in Class 1B are sophisticated egoists.

As long as you are strong enough and can bring them enough benefits, then personal morality is not a big problem in the eyes of these subordinates.

Katsuragi Kohei's character is far superior to Sakayanagi Arisu's, yet the latter still has so many followers, regardless of whether they spread rumors or betray him.
