In fact, I can add unlimited points

"Instructions?" Shun Aragaki didn't care about Akane Tachibana's attitude. He just raised an eyebrow slightly and then instructed Suzune Horikita and Mio Ibuki: "This time it's a conflict between Class C and Class D. You two can help within your classes, but you can't participate in this incident as student council members."

"In short, for the next few days, you should temporarily hand over your work to Kamuro and Ichinose, and then go back to class as usual."

It's still necessary to maintain a semblance of avoiding suspicion.

On the contrary, he, as the vice president of the student council, doesn't need to care about so much.

After all, Horikita Manabu, as the student council president, also needs to handle the affairs of the third-year students, and Nagumo Masako never hesitates to use the power of the student council to suppress the entire second-year students.

"As for Longyuan's report, the format is incorrect. Send it back for him to rewrite."

It's already the weekend and you're still causing trouble for him. I'll make sure you get stuck.

166. Shiina Hiyori couldn't refuse; she stopped pretending to be a gentleman.

"I've changed my mind, Shiina!"

After leaving the student council, Shun Aragaki immediately returned to the library, and then, under the questioning gaze of Hiyori Shiina, led her to the activity room of the cultural club without saying a word.

"It has nothing to do with class competition, but because of my personal selfishness, can you transfer to Class A right now and come to my side?"

Before arriving here, the leader of Class A had contacted the students via email and cleared out all the members of the Arts and Entertainment Club. Therefore, now there are only him and Shiina Hiyori in the entire activity room.

Seeing the literary girl who clearly knew nothing but still obediently followed him here, Shun Aragaki, after confirming his own thoughts, also revealed them without any concealment.

"I'm certain that I care about Shiina a lot, and I don't want you to stay in Class C. So, can you promise me that you'll transfer to Class A right now?"

Upon hearing this direct invitation, Hiyori Shiina trembled and subconsciously raised her lively, doe-like eyes, only to unexpectedly meet Shun Aragaki's calm and resolute gaze.

She pursed her lips, the girl instinctively trying to look away, but before she could react, Aragaki Shun took a step forward, grabbing her shoulders firmly and preventing her from escaping.

"I mean it, I want to study with Shiina, graduate together, and freely pursue the future together."

"So there's no need to hesitate any longer. Promise me you'll come to me right now, okay?"

The tips of both ears were flushed red, and there was no longer any rationality left to think about why the boy had suddenly become so enthusiastic.

Shiina Hiyori simply stared blankly at Aragaki's persistent gaze, a sudden realization rising within her—

"Aragaki-kun is serious!"

Once she realized this, the literary girl knew she had no other choice.

Will I transfer to Class A, study together with Aragaki-kun, graduate together, and freely pursue the future together?

"Since it's Aragaki-kun's request, I can't refuse..."

She inwardly chuckled at her own wavering, but her brows relaxed gracefully, and Shiina Hiyori smiled sweetly, her lips parting slightly as if she had been waiting for this moment:

"Okay."

"I'm leaving everything to Aragaki-kun."

.........

The activity room of the arts and entertainment club remained closed. The literature girl, who had just readily agreed to transfer classes, was now casually observing the furnishings of the club room as if nothing had happened.

This club has a somewhat special nature. To some extent, it can be considered a second gathering place for students from Class A, and sometimes it also serves as a gathering place for Aragaki Shun to recruit subordinates from other classes.

In the past, the only people who had ever been to this classroom besides the students from Class A were the members of the Aragaki faction from Class D. Shiina Hiyori, of course, had never entered this room openly.

Overall, the girl really liked the classroom because the spacious room contained two tall bookshelves filled with all kinds of books, including Shiina's favorite mystery series.

"It's so nice that Aragaki-kun's club has so many books. I can quietly enjoy my favorite works in the club."

Shiina looked somewhat envious as she took a familiar book from the bookshelf—Raymond Chandler's "Goodbye, My Love," a book the girl had a rather deep impression of.

"I remember, Shiina, you were actually a member of the tea ceremony club, right?"

Shun Aragaki poured two cups of tea on the coffee table and casually said, "That's a bit surprising. I thought you'd prefer to join a literature club."

"It's alright. Don't we usually read books in the library? And the tea ceremony club is pretty good too. I've learned a lot of interesting things there, like tea ceremony etiquette and how to use the related tools."

The girl, holding the book in her hands, sat down next to Shun Aragaki, took a sip of the tea the boy had brewed, and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.

"Aragaki-kun's tea-brewing skills are amazing. This tea tastes even better than the one brewed by my senior in the tea ceremony club."

“Some of the adults in my family are interested in this kind of thing, and I studied it for a period of time when I was a child.”

"Can you achieve this level of skill just by studying it for a period of time?"

Shiina Hiyori remarked with some emotion, "If our minister heard this, he would definitely look dejected and aggrieved."

"However, Aragaki-kun has already cracked down on enough club presidents, so adding another tea ceremony club doesn't seem to be a big deal."

Shun Aragaki smiled without saying a word, simply watching the girl who had been casually chatting about various topics ever since she agreed to transfer to Class A.

The entire training ground was filled with beautiful women, but Shiina was always the cutest in his eyes.

Looking at it now, it's even cuter the more you look at it.

"Speaking of which, according to the customs of this country, shouldn't Shiina call me 'Shun,' and I should change my name to 'Hiyori'?"

The literary girl was stunned when the question was suddenly pointed out, and her cheeks gradually flushed.

However, Shiina did not respond with silence. After glancing around for a few seconds with a vacant look, the girl nervously tentatively uttered the name of her book friend—

"Then, Shun-kun..."

"It doesn't seem to make any difference. Would you be happier if I called you 'Hiyori' instead, Hiyori?"

"Whatever you like, Shun-kun. I don't think it makes any difference whether you use his surname or his given name."

Holding a strand of hair in her hand, Shiina Hiyori smiled gently. After truly changing the way she was addressed, the girl realized that she wasn't as shy as she had imagined. Instead, she felt a sense of natural ease, as if everything was meant to be this way.

"I understand. From now on, I'll call you 'Hiyori'."

"Does Hiyori have any other matters to attend to in Class C? If not, I hope I can arrange a class transfer for you as soon as possible."

Her hands paused, and after a moment's thought, the literary girl gently shook her head. "It's been so long since the start of the semester, and I haven't made any particularly close friends in my class. I'll just say hello to Ibuki and the others tomorrow, and then I can leave normally."

Despite discussing this somewhat sad topic, Shiina didn't seem to be discouraged.

A young girl's world is not big, and she desires very little. Since she has already made friends who can accompany her for life, she naturally does not need to be greedy for more.

Thinking of this, Hiyori Shiina gently cast her gaze toward the book friend with whom she had made a promise, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

"Why did Shun-kun suddenly ask me to transfer to Class A? According to the previous plan, shouldn't I have demonstrated sufficient strength in Class C before Class A's funds were used to invite me over?"

Of course, Shiina herself had no opinion on this matter.

Graduating from Class A and receiving a highly recommended training program will indeed help her have a smoother future and make it easier for her to achieve her goals.

Even without the school's assistance, the girl is confident that her future will be bright, even if it's slower and more difficult, based solely on her own abilities.

However, Shun-kun is a student in Class A. If the two of them could become classmates, they wouldn't have to worry about class competition anymore, and they would have more time to spend together instead of always being confined to the library... Thinking about it this way, there are quite a few advantages to transferring classes.

It was precisely because the benefits were so great—the 20 million personal points were equivalent to five or six years' income for an average family—that the young woman hesitated so much when she was first invited, finding it difficult to accept this gift with a clear conscience.

At that time, the two were just friends who shared a love of books. Compared to receiving favors from others in such an ambiguous way, Shiina was more willing to accept being invited by Class A in a business-like manner.

Although she wasn't really interested in the competition between the four classes in the first grade.

Recalling the first time he was invited to transfer to Class A, and thinking about the moment just now when Shun-kun directly said he wanted him to come to his side, Shiina unconsciously revealed a silly smile on his face.

I simply can't refuse the idea of ​​studying together with Shun-jun, graduating together, and becoming lifelong book friends!

"...I just received a report from Class C at the student council, which describes a conflict between Class C and Class D."

Seeing Shiina's sudden, radiant smile, which seemed to brighten the entire activity room, Shun Aragaki felt a rare pang of annoyance.

Looking back now, Hiyori never really minded transferring to Class A; all she needed was a reason.

A reason that could convince her to agree.

The girl was unwilling to accept this opportunity worth 20 million simply because, between ordinary friends, if one unwittingly accepts such a great favor, it can easily place a huge psychological burden on the recipient, leading to the friendship being tainted by self-interest.

What if they weren't just ordinary friends, but had a much closer relationship?

With just one more step, everything would be solved, but Shun Aragaki chose to take a step back.

As it turns out, this was actually a valid reason, rather than accepting 20 million ambiguously and going to Class A under the guise of class competition.

Judging from the current situation, it's easy to take a step, but I have to go around in circles to reach the same destination. How much time is wasted in the process?

Hiyori, unaware of Aragaki Shun's inner turmoil, merely wore a thoughtful expression due to the conflict between Class C and Class D.

“Recently, Longyuan seems to have been discussing something with some people in the class, but they didn’t want me to give them my advice. Perhaps it’s because this plan isn’t exactly aboveboard.”

"It was indeed a very insidious method. According to the report submitted by Class C, they accused Kanji Ike of Class D of committing a heinous act of indecent assault against Minori Kinoshita of Class C on Saturday morning."

"But the report from Class D contained completely different information. According to Kanji Ike, he and Minori Kinoshita had been in contact for two months and had even developed feelings for each other. On Saturday morning, the two were simply going about their date as boyfriend and girlfriend."

At this point, Shun Aragaki's lips twitched slightly.

Does this guy have absolutely no intelligence?

Putting aside the terrible reputation he has among the girls, just consider the incident in the first month of school when he was sent to Class C to cause trouble.

Has this guy forgotten that this incident caused a significant drop in living expenses for everyone in Class C?

In this situation, he was still completely unguarded against the girl sent by Class C, and even became so smug that he thought he could find a girlfriend because of it... No wonder he is a weirdo from Class D.

"Of course, the conflict between Class C and Class D is not important. I just simply don't like the schemes that Ryuen and his group have devised."

"Since you've resorted to such despicable tactics as honey traps and honey swindles, I certainly can't let you stay there any longer."

"Eh~" Hearing this, the literature girl sighed helplessly, "Ryuen-san is one thing, but is it really worth it for Kinoshita-san to do this?"

"When we chatted occasionally, I noticed that Kinoshita seemed to be a bit greedy and profit-driven, but I never expected her to go to this extent."

"Greedy for money and profit?" Upon hearing this description, Shun Aragaki raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled. "Class C is already so poor, how much money could Ryuen possibly use to bribe her?"

"Um..." Hiyori hesitated, seemingly unsure how to describe it. After all, given her personality, she didn't like talking badly about her classmates behind their backs.

"It's alright. I've already sent Class C's report back. Now it's time for Hiyori and me to spend time together, so we really shouldn't bring up such trivial and troublesome matters."

With a smile, Shun Aragaki moved a step to the side on the sofa, so that their legs were touching, and the boy's right hand naturally grasped the girl's left hand.

Shiina Hiyori's body tensed up instantly, and her knowledge-filled mind went completely blank.

After a while, the silver-haired girl relaxed naturally, letting her head rest on the boy's shoulder.

"Shun-kun seems to have become much more impulsive again. Is it because of that kid in Class A named Chihiro Shirahami?"

Hearing Hiyori's somewhat somber voice, Shun Aragaki's face showed a rare look of embarrassment.

I feel that if I were to admit it, my image in Hiyori's eyes would immediately become somewhat complicated.

But he didn't deny it, because he didn't want to lie to the person next to him.

Honestly, I can tell that my changes are indeed related to Chihiro Shirahami.

Regardless of how outsiders see him, Shun Aragaki's ideal self is someone who is rational and wise, capable of handling matters maturely, rather than acting impulsively or emotionally.

Food and sex are human nature, and he always knew that he actually had a greedy and lustful side.

But before entering the Advanced Education program, Shun Aragaki would always remind himself that human society has its own rules, and he was not yet qualified to do whatever he wanted.

Having a harem is possible, but that's for the future, not now.

Because he doesn't yet have the power to easily suppress public opinion and the legal order.

Even though he never hid the existence of his fiancée, there were still unconventional girls like Bai Bo who would give themselves to him.

Once you break a rule, you'll break it again. There are only two kinds of breaking rules: zero times or countless times.

Now that he has already broken free from self-discipline, he will no longer pretend to be a virtuous gentleman.

167. The impact of the transfer at Hiyori; the restless lower-ranked classes.

The second Monday of July.

Just as the first year was once again in an uproar due to the conflict between Class C and Class D, another unprecedented piece of news emerged, directly shocking everyone at Advanced Nurturing High School—

Hiyori Shiina, a student in Class C of the first year, permanently transferred to Class A of the first year through 20 million personal points.

Although the school has always acknowledged that, outside of class competition, a highly capable individual can raise 20 million to advance to Class A on their own.

However, since the establishment of the Advanced Education School, no one has ever truly accomplished this feat.

This first case of Shinjuku Shun's opening not only shocked the entire campus, but also revealed Class A's strategy of poaching students from outside the school.

As the snowball starts rolling, there is no doubt that many first-year students will become unsettled and begin to reconsider their plans for the school.

.........

Classroom of Grade 1, Class B.
