Chapter 112

However, Aragaki had explicitly stated that the better a student in Class D behaved in public, the more serious their hidden problems were. Therefore, the girl was very obedient and only maintained a basic friendship with them, without developing a close, confidante relationship.

They did get along well and had fun together on a regular basis, but since Aragaki had extended an invitation, there was nothing to regret about ending the relationship.

After all, this circle was built around Kushida Kikyo, and everyone was a friend of Kushida. She wasn't special in it, so even if she left, it wouldn't have any impact.

"Actually, when I was in Class D, I often heard news about Aragaki- san, and many girls in the class would actively vote for Aragaki on the leaderboard."

"I was invited by Aragaki to join Class D. They probably felt more envy than resentment towards me."

Walking lightly alongside her sweetheart, Wang Meiyu felt as if she were about to take flight.

Regret for life? Is Chabashira-sensei joking?

Invited by his beloved, with the prospect of graduating from Class A together in the future, isn't he heading towards the very destination she can only dream of?

"That's good. The atmosphere in Class C and Class D is pretty bad. For both personal and professional reasons, I hope Xiao Mei can join Class A."

Hearing Aragaki Shun's blunt words, Wang Meiyu felt her whole body go weak.

Oh no, if this continues, I'll become even stranger because of the random thoughts in my head.

Previously, the two were in Class A and Class D respectively, and apart from communicating via email, she was too embarrassed to take the initiative to contact him.

Now, the thought of them soon becoming classmates and seeing each other every day fills her with a surge of happiness that makes it increasingly difficult for her to bear.

I want so much more. Aragaki -kun has done so much for me, he must care about me too...

Glancing at the absent-minded blue-haired twin-tailed girl, Shun Shiranami Chihiro, having accumulated considerable experience with Aragaki Shun, could naturally tell what was wrong with her and looked away with amusement.

In the eyes of the Leader of Class A, Wang Meiyu had excellent grades, and although she was not good at sports, she could still pass. She also had a gentle and lovely personality, and overall she had no obvious flaws.

Under normal circumstances, given her overall qualities, she shouldn't have been assigned to Class D.

However, Xiao Mei is indeed somewhat insecure, and because of her status as an international student, she probably didn't adapt well to the customs and atmosphere of the island nation during her elementary and middle school years.

In addition, the school intends to balance the strength of each class in the first grade.

Therefore, it's understandable that she was assigned to Class D.

But compared to those extraordinary individuals who either have an incredible dark past, serious personality flaws, or are both stupid and wicked, the other person was definitely a rare student in that class who was both capable and normal, and could be said to be out of place in the entire Class D.

As a friend and fellow townsman, he naturally wouldn't hesitate to lend a helping hand and pull her out of her misery if given the chance.

As the saying goes, "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black." In a garbage environment like Class D, it's best for normal people to leave as soon as possible to avoid being contaminated by it someday.

As for the possibility that this approach might create some kind of misconception... since the target is Xiao Mei, that's irrelevant.

In a somewhat ambiguous atmosphere, the two slowly returned to the Class A gathering place, Kanzaki Ryuji and the others had also moved a lot of supplies from Class D.

"Haha~ Aragaki, you're amazing! You actually thought of using Class D' s temporary points to exchange for supplies. I'm liking you more and more, teacher."

Upon seeing Aragaki Shun return, Chie Hoshinomiya had already received the news, immediately ran over, her face beaming with undisguised joy.

She extended her right thumb; if it weren't inappropriate now, she would have loved to bury the boy's head in her chest and cherish this little boy.

"And this is Wang Meiyu, right? I'm Chie Hoshinomiya teacher for Class A. I'll be your homeroom teacher from now on as well."

"On behalf of the entire Class A, I warmly welcome you. If you encounter any difficulties adjusting in the future, please feel free to come and discuss it with me. I especially like well-behaved children like you and will definitely help you integrate into the class as soon as possible."

After greeting Aragaki Shun, Hoshinomiya turned his gaze to Wang Meiyu, his friendly attitude absolutely genuine.

No matter who she is or where she comes from, if someone can make Chabashira Sae unhappy, then she is Chie Hoshinomiya's friend.

Moreover, in the eyes of Class A's homeroom teacher, Wang Meiyu betrayed Chabashira's class because of a man, extinguishing her hopes... This action was truly gratifying!

Hahaha~!!!

Ten years have passed, yet the boomerang-like words have still managed to come back. If she didn't have work to do, she would definitely run to Chabashira Sae immediately to see what kind of expression she had.

Because of your infatuation with love, you ruined the class. Do you still remember the mess you made? Can you understand how desperate we were back then?

How are you feeling? How are you feeling right now?

"... Hoshinomiya-sensei, please be a little more reserved."

Seeing Chie Hoshinomiya's oblivious behavior, Aragaki Shun shook his head speechlessly, "Xiao Mei just joined Class A, don't leave a bad impression on her right away."

"No, it's okay." Wang Meiyu smiled and felt much more relaxed after confirming that the class teacher of Class A was genuinely welcoming her.

"When we were in Class D, Chabashira-sensei rarely paid attention to us, and even when she did speak, it was mostly sarcastic remarks."

"In comparison, I think Hoshinomiya-sensei is really nice, she's cute and enthusiastic, and I hope she will continue to guide me in the future."

"Hehe~ As expected of the good kid invited by Aragaki, she really knows how to talk," Hoshinomiya said smugly, throwing an admiring glance at her. "I knew it! How could someone as cold and aloof as Sae Chabashira possibly be as popular as me!"

Unexpectedly, this guy actually got vain. Aragaki Shun rolled his eyes and simply walked past him to the place where the Class A members were gathered.

Wang Meiyu was asked to come closer, and the Leader of Class A briefly introduced her to everyone in the class:

"This is my friend, Wang Meiyu from Class D. Thanks to her, we were able to save all our temporary points in this exam."

"Like Hiyori, she will now be a member of our Class A, and will work hard with us for the next three years. Let's give her a round of applause."

As Aragaki Shun finished speaking, Ichinose and Kanzaki immediately joined in, and the others were not to be outdone, and the audience erupted in applause.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~!!!"

Seeing that the girl seemed a little uncomfortable being watched by so many people, Ichinose knew that now was the time for her to step in.

"Welcome, welcome, Wang! I'm Ichinose Honami Class A. My friends all like to call me Honami-chan. Please make yourself at home in Class A. Everyone in the class is very friendly."

"And me, I'm Kobashi Yume, just call me Yume. Thank you so much for bringing so many supplies to our class. With this advantage, Class A will definitely win this exam."

"I am Amikura Mako..."

With a smile, he watched as Wang Meiyu was somewhat awkwardly surrounded by the girls from Class A. With Ichinose's help, he believed that she would soon be able to easily integrate into the already harmonious and friendly atmosphere of the class.

"Hiyori, why don't you go and get to know Xiao Mei?"

Turning to look at Shiina Hiyori was inscrutable, Aragaki Shun was somewhat surprised. Had these two had some kind of connection?

"... Wang and I have known each other for a long time, haven't we?"

After a moment of silence, the Literary Girl's words sounded strange, but it seemed to be the only thing she could say.

To be honest, the two had never even greeted each other face-to-face; but to be honest, he could occasionally spot this blue-haired girl secretly watching him in the library.

Or rather, the other person was actually focused on Aragaki Shun, but it was only because their friend spent the afternoons with them that the other person turned their attention to them.

Envy, jealousy, hesitation, humility... She always felt that the other person's gaze was very complicated, but it was impossible for her to give up her reading time with Shun-kun.

Blinking, Aragaki Shun instinctively felt that there was something wrong between the two of them, but his intuition told him not to delve into it.

So he beckoned to Kanzaki Ryuji and decided to focus his energy on serious matters.

"Now that we have enough supplies, shouldn't we find a base and set up camp first?"

Faced with this question, the Leader of Class A shook his head, a strange glint in his eyes.

"I have an idea that if we follow this plan, we should be able to get the most out of the school."

"Now that the group from Class D has made contact with Class B, Koenji and Katsuragi must also know about our operation."

"Then let's go over there and work with them to finalize the overall plan for this exam."

To achieve his ideal solution, theoretically, all four first-grade classes would need to work together.

This is a bit difficult, but not too difficult for him.

In short, we need to make Katsuragi and Ryuen face reality first!

181. The solution that maximizes benefits; forcibly changing the examination format.

"Hey~ Were you all waiting for me? You all showed up so quickly!"

They brought Kanzaki and Shibata to the Class B gathering place, and unsurprisingly, the Class D group and Ryuen Kakeru Class C were there.

Aragaki Shun's lips curled slightly as he turned his gaze to Ryuen, whose face was grim. "Looks like you and I were thinking the same thing."

It's obvious that Ryuen's goal in coming to Class B is to sell supplies and convert the temporary points from this exam into actual Private Points.

However, because Aragaki Shun sent the group from Class D over, they couldn't reach an agreement with the members of Class B.

"Hehe~ I didn't expect that you could actually move Class D's supplies directly without paying any price, and even add another combatant to Class A."

"Compared to me, a delinquent who only knows how to use his fists, your actions are far more ruthless."

Ryuen Kakeru's expression was indifferent. After the Class C teacher finished explaining the supplementary rules for this Special Exam, he immediately thought of selling the temporary points to the Class B.

In this way, regardless of the outcome of this exam, Class C will earn at least 800,000 Private Points every month.

With this guaranteed return, he can go all out and unleash his full potential on this Uninhabited Island.

But who would have thought that Aragaki Shun would actually go directly to Class D to buy supplies, and then bring over the rest of Class D to compete with him?

Everything was going well until now that they had another option, so Katsuragi and his team weren't in a hurry to make a deal with Class C.

More importantly, Aragaki Shun could easily order anyone to take away Class D' s supplies; if the target were Class B or Class C...

"Aragaki, what exactly do you want to do?"

Katsuragi tried to suppress the agitation in his heart, but found it difficult to calm down.

This Special Exam involved too many Class Evaluation Points, and it should have been Class B best opportunity to catch up. However, they were hit hard right from the start, and even someone as steady as him found it difficult to stay calm in this situation.

"Don't worry, the supplies provided by Class D are enough for us to survive on the Uninhabited Island. I have no intention of begging from Class B or Class C for the time being."

Upon hearing this, many students in Class B and Ryuen from Class C all turned pale.

Just because I don't have any ideas right now doesn't mean I won't change my mind later.

Moreover, having the idea is one thing, but being able to execute it is the key.

From the students in Class D, they already knew that Aragaki Shun had instructed Wang Meiyu to exchange for supplies and then decided to transfer her to Class A.

To put it bluntly, if he were willing to offer the same terms, wouldn't anyone from either Class B or Class C be willing to serve him?

"Well, to put it simply, it's actually quite easy for Class A to win this exam."

Ignoring the unpleasant looks from the other classes, Aragaki Shun continued speaking to himself.

"According to Supplementary Rule 4, if a student commits acts of violence, looting, or damage to equipment against other classes, the class to which the student belongs will immediately be disqualified, and all Private Points of the individual will be confiscated."

"By helping two more students transfer to other classes, we can kick you out of this exam altogether. I wonder if this deal is worthwhile?"

The Leader of Class A pointed this out with a smile, and that feeling of powerlessness, of being crushed by the tide, descended upon the three lower-ranked classes once again.

Once the three lower-ranked classes have all withdrawn, Class A will immediately become the winner of this exam, not only retaining all 300 temporary points but also obtaining all the base points.

However, even if all these scores are added together, they may not be able to compare to 60 million Private Points.

Comparing the benefits and expenses of this exam alone, it's hard to say that this plan is truly worthwhile.

However, once you look at the overall competition among classes, Class A suddenly gains three more strong contenders, and all three lower-ranked classes have someone openly betraying them. In addition, the gap in Class Evaluation Points has widened by several hundred points... From a long-term perspective, those 60 million Private Points were definitely well spent.

"Slap slap--!"

In the silence, a round of applause suddenly broke out. Koenji, who had been indifferent to everything, slowly walked out from the Class B camp with an unusually happy smile on his face.

"How beautiful, Aragaki boy."

"When I saw Hirata Boy and the others coming over, I knew this exam would be difficult. I had originally wanted to try another path, but I didn't expect the game to be over before it even started."

"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! State your conditions, let me hear what kind of plan you're willing to give up this opportunity for."

Upon hearing this, Katsuragi and Ryuen both looked solemn, feeling an overwhelming sense of helplessness.

This has happened so many times already. Every time, they first throw out a completely unacceptable result, then force them to sign a barely acceptable, unequal agreement.

Therefore, even without mentioning Koenji Rokusuke, they could immediately determine that Aragaki Shun's true goal was definitely not what he was currently aiming for.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to say anything to intimidate them; he could have just ended the exam directly.

"Another path?" Aragaki Shun didn't deny Koenji's statement, but rather showed some interest in the other path he mentioned. "You mean you want to abandon temporary points and focus on base points?"

"Oh, it seems Aragaki- boy thought of that too. Would you like to have a competition with me?"

Koenji's fighting spirit was high, and he looked at the Leader of Class A with burning eyes.

Ever since he learned about Aragaki Shun's actions in Class D, he understood that Class B's temporary points were unlikely to be retained.

In that case, the best approach is to use it immediately, exchange it for supplies, and then score points from another direction.

You get 1 point for each time you clear a stronghold, and the strongholds are refreshed every eight hours, which means you can clear three times a day.

It's almost noon on August 1st, and there are still 6 days until the exam ends at noon on August 7th. Including the one time you can refresh the skill at the beginning of the exam, refreshing one base can provide a total of 19 points to the class.
