Upon hearing this news, Katsuragi Yasuhiro's expression faltered for a moment.
Prior to this, Shunya Aragaki had invited him to transfer to Class A, but he was unwilling to leave his classmates and go to school alone, so he hardened his heart and refused the temptation.
If only back then...
The feeling of regret had just begun to rise, before it could even take hold, when it was forcibly extinguished by the steady leader of Class B.
Now that you've made your choice, embrace the future with equanimity. Dwelling on the past and regretting it is utterly pointless.
Besides, even if he had accepted that invitation back then and abandoned his friends to transfer to Class A, could he guarantee that he wouldn't regret it?
You might regret whichever you choose, so there's no need to dwell on it; just keep moving forward.
It's only the first semester of first grade, and there's still a long time before graduation. If we persevere, Class B might just be able to turn the tide and become the ultimate winner.
Having solidified his resolve, Katsuragi walked to the podium, glanced around at the students in the classroom who were clearly becoming flustered and uneasy, and announced in a calm tone:
"The conflict between Class C and Class D is none of our business. Everyone should continue their studies as usual and prepare for the final exams."
“Our overall strength was actually not weaker than Class A at the beginning. It’s just that Class B lacked an ace who could turn the tide of the battle. Neither Sakayanagi nor I could withstand Aragaki Shun from Class A, which led to repeated defeats since we entered the school.”
"Therefore, I have decided to agree to Koenji Rokusuke's conditions and introduce a more powerful fighter to Class B, hoping that he can bring us new hope."
After Katsuragi announced his decision, the students in Class B indeed discussed it for a while, because his prestige was not enough to make everyone obey, and students from other factions raised questions in public.
"Katsura, how can you guarantee that Koenji Rokusuke has that level of ability? He was assigned to Class D from the beginning and was considered a flawed student by the school."
Is it feasible to pay such a high price just to invite a flawed student from Class D to lead them?
This is a question that most students in Class B have.
Ultimately, the impression that Koenji Rokusuke gives people stems more from his identity as a zaibatsu heir.
Aside from that, his academic performance and physical abilities at school were quite good, but not to the extent that Aragaki Shun could dominate.
Would transferring him to Class B really change the landscape of the first year?
"I can't guarantee that!"
Katsuragi did not fabricate non-existent confidence, but told the whole truth: "But I have led many of the physically excellent students in the class to compete with him, and the results show that his physical qualities far surpass those of anyone in Class B."
"According to information obtained from the upperclassmen, the summer activities for first-year students in previous years were all special exams arranged by the school, and the content of these exams conducted outside the school was most likely related to the students' physical fitness."
At this point, Katsuragi frankly stated, "So I hope to take a gamble and transfer Koenji to Class B during the summer vacation. Maybe that can change our situation of repeated defeats."
"If he really doesn't get along with Class B, the transfer voucher is only valid for one month if it's not renewed. After the summer vacation ends, he will naturally return to his original class."
Seeing that everyone in the class had fallen silent, the bald guy, who knew the situation in Class B, naturally turned his gaze to Kamuro Masumi.
The opponent's strength is not bad, but it is far from enough to affect the situation of Class B. The key lies in Shun Aragaki behind her.
As a representative of Class A planted in Class B, the other party's will is enough to influence the thoughts of many members who are pro-Class A.
"Kamuro, I know that Aragaki Shun's help with Shiina Hiyori's transfer has had a great impact on you."
“But I hope you can calm down and think rationally—do you really think that Shun Aragaki would give 20 million yen to all of your faction?”
Before Kamuro and the others could respond, Katsuragi continued, "Of course, I believe that you, Kamuro, are capable of getting this opportunity, but the chances for others are slim."
"The points that Shun Aragaki extracted from the three classes, plus the class fees contributed by everyone in Class A, even if all these funds were added together, after three years, would at most be enough to exchange for eleven or twelve permanent class transfer opportunities."
"This is an exaggerated number, but when divided into three lower-level classes, each class only has an average of three or four people, and that still has to be reduced by the three A-class representative slots."
After clarifying all this information, and observing the changing expressions on the faces of some students in the class, Katsuragi drew a direct conclusion:
"In short, by getting close to Class A and helping Aragaki Shun split into Class B, there is indeed a chance to get 20 million yen from them and complete my personal transfer route."
"But there are too many monks and not enough porridge. There are more than thirty people in the class, and they are competing for the remaining two or three spots. How much of a chance do you think you have?"
"Moreover, Shunya Aragaki may not use all his personal points to recruit people to transfer classes. Once Class A's position is completely secured and will not be shaken, would he continue to poach people from lower-ranked classes?"
In fact, according to Katsuragi Kohei, if Aragaki Shun could just poach two key players from each class, he wouldn't have to worry about the lower-ranked classes making a comeback.
Two students per class, so there are six spots available. Any extra personal points can be used within the class or exchanged for cash to take out.
If that's their plan, then the only remaining spot in Class B is available to Masumi Kamuro.
At Katsuragi's suggestion, the members of Class B who were pro-Aragaki also realized this, and many of them looked at their faction leader with subtle expressions.
"Don't try to sow discord here. Katsuragi, do whatever you want. Whether others cooperate with you or not is none of my business."
With her arms crossed, Masumi Kamuro maintained a cool expression, showing no embarrassment whatsoever from the strange atmosphere.
“Aragaki has never hidden his standards for transferring classes. To get an invitation from him, you either need to be recognized for your abilities or have done something meritorious for Class A.”
"I'm just a figurehead he puts on the public eye, what's the point of you telling me that?"
No matter how well they talk now, when it comes to the special exams, and once they have the opportunity to be invited, how many of these students do you think will give it up?
Let alone members who are openly aligned with her, even if it were a student from your Katsuragi faction, would they always be loyal to her?
So what if there are few spots? Even if only eleven or twelve people get an invitation, those spots aren't necessarily to be evenly distributed among the three classes.
Why can't most of the spots be allocated to Class B?
Ultimately, for some people in Class B, it doesn't matter whether there are more or fewer spots, as long as they get one.

After understanding the meaning of Kamuro's words, the entire classroom fell silent once again.
Majima Tomoya, who had been quietly observing from the sidelines, sighed helplessly.
Given the current situation, even if Sakayanagi chooses to leave, Class B will find it difficult to completely unite.
If things continue like this, their chances of making a comeback will only decrease...
.........
In Class C of the first grade, Long Yuanxiang looked coldly at a certain spot in the classroom. The silver-haired girl who should have been there had disappeared, and even her desk and chair had been moved away.
If nothing unexpected happens, Shiina Hiyori has now integrated into Class A and started a new life.
Thinking of this, Long Yuan's expression turned even more unpleasant.
In Class C, a gathering place for delinquents, Shiina is a rare talent who can be praised for her academic ability and intelligence, and is also capable of serving as a leader among the girls.
The fact that the other team was poached by Class A will not only weaken the overall strength of Class C, but also cause unrest among the students.
He could see at a glance that most of the people in the classroom had shifty eyes, as if they were plotting something unpleasant.
Seeing this, Long Yuanxiang could not tolerate it at all and kicked the table in front of him, causing a huge commotion.
"Ha~ That bastard Aragaki spent money to chase after girls and managed to take away the prettiest girl in our class. You toads think you can get into Class A?"
"Stop dreaming, look in the mirror. Tell me, what aspect of your abilities, talents, looks, and charisma is worth twenty million?"
Class C students: "......"
Under Long Yuanxiang's loud reprimand, the students of Class C, who had been doused with cold water, immediately calmed down.
It is important for people to know their own limitations. Most people in Class C have a good idea of their own capabilities.
The relationship between Shun Aragaki and Hiyori Shiina was an open secret throughout their first year of high school. After all, the two spent every day together in the library, and anyone who saw them would have guessed that something was going on.
Last month, when Chihiro Shiraha became the former's girlfriend, most people in Class C were surprised when they heard the news, as they were astonished that the two of them were not dating.
Only now that the truth has come to light have people realized—
Oh, so you're two-timing...
Regardless of the inside story, everyone in Class C could accept that Aragaki Shun helped Shiina Hiyori transfer classes by paying 20 million yen.
Because the relationship between these two guys was already so ambiguous.
But if we're talking about who else in Class C might be taken away by Shun Aragaki after Shiina leaves... many people immediately looked at a certain blue-haired girl with purple eyes.
"What are you looking at me for?" Ibuki Mio scolded, her face full of displeasure. "I never agreed to become his subordinate in Class C, nor did I ever hear him say that he would pull me into Class A."
Ryuen Sho was speechless. He believed in Ibuki's kindness, but not in her intelligence.
With her simple-minded personality, if Aragaki Shun just says a few words to fool her, she will think she is right and do things that are theoretically beneficial to Class C, but not to him as the leader of Class C.
But put Ibuki's problem aside for now; he's more focused on something else—
"Sakagami, I want to know, after Shiina transferred classes, how should her share of the debt be calculated?"
Class C's homeroom teacher glanced up at Ryuen's agitated expression and replied listlessly, "There is no debt belonging to Shiina."
"There are two kinds of debts in Class C. One is signed in the name of the entire class, and the other is a debt that belongs to you and me personally."
"Shiina's share of the debt is the entire Class C's share. After she leaves, the amount will remain the same."
A contract signed by a class as a unit requires the entire class to bear the responsibility, and naturally, the cost cannot be reduced simply because one person is missing from the class.
It's like a company owing money; you can't reduce the amount owed just because an employee leaves.
"So, after Shiina transferred to Class A, the contract that should have been shared by 40 people now needs to be shared by the remaining 39 of us?"
With a dark expression, he uttered this conclusion, and at that moment, not only Long Yuanxiang, but everyone in Class C was drastically changed in expression.
Class C's debt is 60 yuan. If this is divided among them, each student will have to pay several hundred more points per month.
It may not sound like much, but if one less person receives the individual points issued by the school, it's equivalent to Class C losing an income equal to 100 times the class evaluation score each month.
Currently, Class C's evaluation score is 512. If the number remains unchanged in the future, Class C will lose 51200 personal points every month.
凸(艹皿艹)!
The finances of Class C, which had been slightly better due to the extra 200 points, are now in a precarious situation again.
To make up for past mistakes, we must extract more blood from Class D!
.........
In Class D of the first year, many students looked at Karuizawa Megumi with envy after hearing the news that Shiina had transferred to another class.
"Aragaki-san has really started helping students from lower-ranking classes transfer to other classes. Shiina-san was the first, and Megumi should have a spot too, right?"
Sato Maya looked at the leader of the Aragaki faction in Class D with a hint of envy in her eyes.
If you become rich and powerful, don't forget me!
"Haha~ Who knows about these things? We can only wait and see what Aragaki-kun decides. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry."
Karuizawa chuckled dryly; she truly had no idea what her host was thinking.
However, it would be great to go to Class A. After all, managing the oddballs in Class D is no easy task. These guys can easily cause some big trouble if you're not careful.
Thinking of this, Karuizawa glared fiercely at Ike Kanji.
"Let's put aside the matter of Class A for now. The more important thing right now is the conflict between Chi and Class C."
"If this matter isn't resolved properly, we don't know how many of our already scarce personal points will be left."
As soon as the words were spoken, Chi Kuanji, who was huddled in the corner, trembled all over, feeling cold gazes coming from all directions.
If someone hadn't dropped out and had their class evaluation points deducted, he had no doubt that the rest of the class wouldn't have cared about him at all.
168. New skill: [Abnormality Ignore]; Awareness of being a third party.
Classroom of Grade 1, Class A.
While the three lower-ranked classes were in turmoil, Hoshinomiya was smiling broadly as she introduced the new students to the students of Class A.
"...In short, that's how it is. Starting today, Shiina will be a new member of our Class A. Let's give her a round of applause."
As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted in the classroom.
Hiyori Shiina has a beautiful appearance and a great temperament. She exudes a light, soft, and dreamy atmosphere, making it easy for anyone to understand what a "literary girl" is at first glance.
Judging from appearance alone, everyone in Class A felt that Shiina was indeed a good fit for their class. It's hard to know what the school was thinking when they chose to assign her to Class C, which was full of delinquents and hot girls.
Feeling the friendly atmosphere emanating from the students of Class A, Shiina pursed her lips and exchanged a glance with Shun Aragaki below. She then smiled and began to introduce herself to everyone on the podium.
"Thank you all for your enthusiasm. My name is Hiyori Shiina. My hobby is reading, and my favorite genre is mystery novels. That's why I often spend time in the library. If any of you have similar interests, feel free to reach out to me and we can exchange reading experiences."
"I've come to Class A at Shun-kun's invitation. I hope we can get along well and have a fulfilling and wonderful high school life together."
After introducing herself openly and honestly, Shiina Hiyori ignored the complicated thoughts of the audience and quietly walked off the stage back to her seat.
Incidentally, because there was one more person in the classroom, Shun Aragaki helped Shiina move her desk and chair over, and also rearranged the seats in Class A.
The seat Shiina is currently sitting in is actually the window seat that Aragaki Shun used to sit in. Aragaki Shun himself was sitting at the same table with her, to the left of the girl. Further to the left are Ichinose Honami and Amakura Asako.
The people at the front and back tables remained unchanged, still Chihiro Shiranami and Yuki Himeno.
However, Ryuji Kanzaki took the opportunity to move to his left front, where he sat next to Hayate Shibata.
