Fang Li was indeed somewhat interested in Sakayanagi Arisu's existence.
There was no other reason—only her surname.
Sakayanagi.
It was exactly the same surname as the chairman's.
Of course, that proved nothing. Even if they shared the same surname, it could not prove they were related, but neither could it prove they were unrelated.
If Sakayanagi Arisu really was related to Chairman Sakayanagi, then what exactly was their relationship?
Moreover, Ichinose Honami had said that compared to Katsuragi Kohei, who belonged to the conservative faction, Sakayanagi Arisu was practically the representative of the radicals. That also piqued Fang Li's interest, making him want to see this other central figure of Class A for himself.
After all, Sakayanagi Arisu was likely the most capable person in Class A.
Even though Katsuragi Kohei differed from her in ideology and had consequently become the leader of another faction opposing her head-on, Fang Li still believed that, in terms of ability alone, Sakayanagi Arisu surpassed Katsuragi Kohei.
The reason for that was simple: the system of Advanced Nurturing High School.
At Advanced Nurturing High School, students were assigned to classes according to their overall abilities.
By that logic, anyone with flaws should have entered Class D.
Yet Sakayanagi Arisu clearly had a physical impairment and had still entered Class A. That meant either there was something wrong with the process, or the girl's abilities were exceptional enough to cover for her physical shortcomings.
Of course, in terms of ability alone, Fang Li and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka were equally outstanding, and even Koenji Rokusuke was far from ordinary. Their personalities simply had flaws, while their abilities were enough to make up for them.
Yet in the end, Fang Li, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, and Koenji Rokusuke had not entered Class A, while Sakayanagi Arisu had.
