Chapter 124

Shaking his head, Aragaki Shun stopped thinking about it and instead beckoned Kanzaki Ryuji, Ichinose Honami, Horikita Suzune, and Wang Meiyu over.

Then, naturally, seeing that the three management members had all gathered together, the other members of Class A lost their desire to celebrate and all rushed to this corner to join in the fun.

"Aragaki -san, is something the matter?" Ichinose Honami sat down on the other sofa and asked curiously.

"Um, I wanted to ask Kanzaki, how much of Class A's class fund has been accumulated so far?"

Aragaki Shun switched his phone to his Private Points screen, which displayed a whopping 33.4 million points.

The surplus from last month was 28.4 million yen. When August came, he earned 2.4 million yen from the Katsuragi Class, 400,000 yen from the Ryuen Class, and 1.4 million yen from the Karuizawa Class.

In addition to the contracts for these three classes, there is also Sakagami Kazuma's monthly salary of 200,000 yen, Class A's salary of 100,000 yen, and a royalty exchange limit of 560,000 yen. After deducting some living expenses, the remaining Private Points are 33.4 million as shown on the interface.

Undoubtedly, this is a huge number in anyone's hands; adding a few more would be enough to invite students from two lower-ranked classes to permanently join Class A.

Then the pressure immediately fell on Kanzaki.

"... Last month's surplus was 8 million. In August, Class A's evaluation score was 1360. The class of 41 students paid 2.788 million in class fees. After deducting 200,000 in management fees and some miscellaneous expenses, the total class fees for Class A are now 10.5 million."

Although I'm used to it, it's still embarrassing to talk about how, as the class fund manager, the total funds I manage for the class are less than what the class monitor alone have.

Incidentally, the reason why 41 people paid class fees was because of Shiina Hiyori's joining.

Next month, after Sakayanagi Arisu and Wang Meiyu complete their class transfer, the number of students in Class A who pay their class fees is expected to increase to 43.

"In other words, the combined funds from Class A and my personal finances are now sufficient to help both of them transfer to Class A."

After Aragaki Shun made this conclusion, everyone else was fine, but Horikita Suzune, who had been invited to the celebration party, was truly stunned.

Although I already knew that Class A was stronger than the other three classes combined, this is still way too much stronger!

It's worth noting that before this, Aragaki Shun had already spent 20 million yen to help Shiina Hiyori transfer classes.

As expected, his brother's suggestion was right. He should find a way to gain Aragaki Shun's approval. Only by integrating into Class A as soon as possible could he become the final winner in the class competition.

"According to the class rules, Wang's contribution is equivalent to 13.33 million Private Points."

At this point, Kanzaki's face showed a somewhat troubled expression.

"Furthermore, during the Uninhabited Island Exam, most of the contributions will be attributed to Aragaki. Even if only 412 base points are counted, according to the rules, 206 points must be paid to Aragaki from the class fund each month."

Each person receives 20,600 Private Points per month. With 43 people in Class A, that's 885,800 points per month.

If calculated over 31 months, the total value would eventually reach 27.46 million Private Points.

Of course, this number is large, but Class A's current evaluation score is a full 2122, and the monthly class fee is at least 4.56 million. If it is paid out monthly, both Wang Meiyu and Aragaki Shun's contributions can easily be rewarded.

Kanzaki's dilemma is that Wang Meiyu can no longer stay in Class D and is scheduled to transfer to Class A next month.

As for Class A's class funds, they haven't even accumulated 20 million yet... We can't expect Aragaki to personally subsidize them, can we?

"Just buy 2 million worth of Transfer Ticket and spread them out over ten months."

The Leader of Class A decisively offered a solution: since there was no interest to pay the school anyway, they could use an installment payment method and keep more Private Points in hand.

"In addition, my contribution will first help Xiao Mei cover the necessary transfer fees."

Wang Meiyu's contribution was only equivalent to 13.33 million Private Points. After transferring to Class A, she theoretically still owed 6.67 million points, which she would need to repay slowly over the next three years.

As her boyfriend, Aragaki Shun simply used his own share to make up for it in advance.

"As for the remaining twenty million, there's no need to transfer it to me specifically. Just remember it. Consider it as me having a spot to help someone transfer classes entirely out of personal motives, using class funds."

Given his authority in Class A, he could easily use the class funds with just any excuse.

So he was too lazy to do that kind of hand-to-hand transfer.

However, by using Transfer Ticket and paying in installments, he could help people transfer to far more than just two classes.

Apart from Wang Meiyu and Kamuro Masumi were originally scheduled to attend.

Perhaps he can poach a few more talented people from Class B.

194. A girl like an assassin; a surprise for Koenji.

Besides Kamuro Masumi, who else from Class B is suitable to recruit from Class A at this stage?

The Aragaki Shun's mind, a name surfaced from his memory—

Yamamura Miki!

The reason she was chosen is because she possesses an Aragaki Shun needs to enhance to achieve.

In gaming terms, Yamamura Miki is a natural-born assassin.

Because of her weak presence, she Sakayanagi Arisu in Class B and often helped her collect various intelligence. She was also one of the important members of the Sakayanagi Faction.

To put it another way, if you want to investigate the students with real talent in Class B, you only need to focus on the core members of the three factions in Class B.

Katsuragi himself had already declined his invitation, and his confidant was Totsuka Yahiko... well, forget about that inexplicable guy.

The Neutral Faction in Class B lacked a leader. Initially, they simply wanted to wait for Sakayanagi or Katsuragi to decide the winner, so they appeared rather scattered. The representative figure among them should be Morishita Ai... Aragaki Shun wasn't very familiar with her information, only knowing that she seemed somewhat eccentric and had a habit of addressing her classmates by their full names.

Finally, there's the Sakayanagi Faction. Kamuro Masumi has already been confirmed to transfer, Hashimoto Masayoshi doesn't need to be considered. The only two left who are qualified are Yamamura Miki and Kito Hayato.

These four were Sakayanagi Arisu's most trusted subordinates, whose roles can be respectively described as a personal maid, a lackey, an intelligence agent, and a bodyguard.

To be fair, the Sakayanagi Faction has a fairly complete lineup, which seems much better than the Katsuragi Faction, which relies Katsuragi Kohei.

Among them, Kito Hayato is the top fighter in Class B. When Sakayanagi Arisu still in power, he had difficulty walking, so in order to prevent accidental conflicts, he always liked to keep her by his side as a bodyguard.

From Aragaki Shun's perspective, Kito Hayato's fighting skills were decent among his peers, but compared to the entire first-year class, they were nothing special.

Even if he didn't say it himself, the others, such as Ryuen Kakeru, Yamada Albert, Ishizaki Daichi, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka Koenji Rokusuke, Kanzaki Ryuji, and even Ken Sudō, could defeat him in one-on-one combat, or at least be evenly matched with him.

Class A doesn't lack someone skilled in combat; in comparison, Yamamura Miki's special talent for intelligence gathering is more useful.

In short, if he were to rank them, the most valuable student in Class B at this stage who could be admitted to Class A would be Yamamura Miki, followed by Kito Hayato, and Morishita Ai remains to be seen.

If these three, along with Kamuro Masumi, were recruited by Class A, then even if Class B were completely integrated by Koenji, it would only be in a state of partial collapse.

Want to compete with Class A?

You should improve the quantity and quality of your students first!

However, including Wang Meiyu, transferring these 5 people to different classes at once would require a total of 100 million Private Points.

Even if you use Transfer Ticket and pay in installments over ten months, you still have to spend 10 million Private Points each month.

The key is that it cannot expire. If it expires midway and the Transfer Ticket cannot be renewed, the efforts of the previous months will immediately be meaningless, which means that all the money spent before was wasted and you will need to accumulate 20 million again.

"Kanzaki, do you think our class can accumulate 100 million Private Points within 10 months?"

Faced with Aragaki Shun's question, the class fund manager of Class A was somewhat surprised. After thinking for a moment, he casually replied:

"It's definitely not possible to do it with just class funds, but if you take into account your Private Points and contracts with each class, it shouldn't be too difficult."

Even if Class A's Class Evaluation Points does not increase within these ten months, as long as it remains at the current level, the monthly class fees will still be 4.56 million. After deducting management fees and some miscellaneous expenses, it should be no problem to save 4.2 million per month.

Ten months would amount to 42 million, and adding the existing 10.5 million, the final class fee should reach 52.5 million Private Points.

As for the funds in Aragaki Shun's personal account, it's easy to guess that they're definitely more than the class funds.

Then there's the personal stash of money each person keeps at work, which can be used in crucial moments.

In this way, it wouldn't be a problem for Class A to accumulate 100 million Private Points within 10 months.

"So why do you have to get so many personal points in 10 months?" Kanzaki asked doubtfully, "Do you have any plan to consume so much funds?"

Seeing that the others in the class were also listening attentively, Aragaki Shun didn't intend to be the riddle-maker, so he directly revealed his plan to poach students from Class B.

Thinking about it carefully, he might not even need the help of the other students in the class. He could raise enough money for at least five students to transfer to another class within 10 months on his own.

Starting next month, the earnings from the Uninhabited Island Exam will be officially credited to your account.

According to the contract, Class B needs to give him 1 million Private Points every month, which, including his previous share, amounts to 3.4 million.

Class C needs to give him 290 points, and with 39 people, that's 1.13 million per month, plus the previous quota, which is 1.53 million.

Class D took 100 points from Class C, which was also 390,000 yen. Hirata delivered it over in the afternoon, hoping to use this contract to offset some of the previous debts.

As a result, Class D will still need to give him 1.01 million per month, Class C's monthly debt will rise to 1.92 million, and Class B will remain at 3.4 million.

In addition, there's Sakagami Kazuma's monthly salary of 200,000 yen, his class salary of 100,000 yen per month, and his royalty exchange limit of 560,000 yen.

Since September, Aragaki Shun's monthly income has skyrocketed to 7.19 million Private Points.

If he continues for just 10 months, he can earn 71.9 million points just from these contracts. Adding the existing 33.4 million points and a portion of the amount recorded in class funds, he will have more than enough Private Points to reach 100 million.

If we take a very extreme approach, including the 52.5 million in class fees, after ten months he will have at least 157.8 million points at his disposal. As long as he borrows some reserve funds from his classmates, he can easily poach 8 or even 9 people from lower-ranked classes.

When the results of the plan were explained to everyone, Kanzaki, the class fund administrator, was somewhat stunned, not to mention the other students.

Shibata Sou's eyes were already showing signs of confusion, and he murmured in disbelief, "So, in 10 months, there's a chance that the number of people in Class A will directly increase to 50 or 51?"

"If these nine people are all poached from Class B, their class will be completely depleted. How will they be able to form a fighting force during future exams?"

Horikita Suzune was genuinely shocked when she heard Aragaki Shun's plan from the perspective of Class A student for the first time.

The monster she wanted to fight back was actually this?

Oh, I'll be a member of Class A from now on too. That's fine then!

"Ooh~"

Wang Meiyu blinked. The strength of Class A did sound ridiculously high. More importantly, Aragaki-kun was really handsome when he got serious.

"How about it? I'd like to ask for everyone's opinion. Should we go all out and poach 8 people from Class B at once? That would make at least 9 people transferring to the new class, including Xiao Mei."

"Our current Class Evaluation Points is 2122. For every student we recruit, we can gain 210,000 Private Points per month. In addition, there will definitely be Special Exam in the next 10 months, so this plan has plenty of room for maneuver."

If nine students transfer to other classes at once, and considering Sakayanagi Arisu transferred voluntarily, the number of students in Class A next month will immediately become 51.

Therefore, whether the school distributes Private Points or Class A pays class fees, the points must be distributed according to the 51-person quota.

In this situation, Class A's foundation will be further strengthened, and there will be no need to worry about the Transfer Ticket expiring midway through the semester.

Even if the school refuses to arrange Special Exam for another 10 months, as long as I borrow some reserve funds from my classmates, I can still get through this installment payment period.

"I have no objection; Aragaki -kun's decisions are always correct."

Kobashi Yume raised her hand and said somewhat seriously, "I still have some Private Points left over from these past few months. If the class strategy needs them, I can use them at any time."

"Me too!" Amikura Mako nodded in agreement. "Since Aragaki -kun has included his personal funds in the plan, then my savings can be included too, although it's not a lot."

"My savings seem a bit low, but starting next semester, I'll have 210,000 Private Points every month. It's fine if I take them all; at worst, I'll have to live a tough life for a while!"

"Count me in if you need me!"

"Me too!"

"Me! I..."

Everyone in the class eagerly expressed their opinions, and naturally, not a single person objected.

Class A was the wealthiest class in the entire first grade. Even though they had to hand over half of their Private Points each month as class funds, they could still save a considerable amount of money after deducting living expenses.

Now, due to class strategy, they need to use this savings, and no one has any objections.

The main issue is that the combined funds of all of them might not even equal the contribution of Aragaki Shun alone.

The class monitor has taken the lead in being willing to use tens of millions of yuan from the account for class competition, so how could they possibly be stingy?

"So the only question now is, does Class B have that many suitable and capable candidates?"

Seeing this, Kanzaki Ryuji, who was in charge of the class finances, felt that he would be extremely busy in the future, so he simply asked a sharp question.

"Most of the people in Class B are profit-driven, and a significant portion of them have signed contracts with Koenji. Is it possible to gather eight suitable candidates from the remaining group?"

"I already said this is a plan for extreme circumstances. If we don't have enough suitable people, then we'll just dig as many as we can."

Aragaki Shun calmly said, "Kamuro Masumi, Yamamura Miki, Kito Hayato, and Morishita Ai, let's confirm these four for now. Tomorrow, everyone go and talk to the people in Class B to see if you can find any talents I've overlooked."

"Oh right, besides the other three Kamuro, we need to talk to them first, otherwise what if they don't want to join Class A?"

Although the possibility is very low, it is by no means entirely impossible.

After all, according to Class A's rules and regulations, a transfer student who has not made any contribution is essentially incurring a debt of 20 million, which they will have to find an opportunity to repay in the future.

With that in mind, Aragaki Shun continued to discuss the details with his classmates, preparing to give Koenji Rokusuke a surprise the next day.

Time slowly ticked down until nine o'clock in the evening.

Even the most exciting victory celebrations must eventually come to an end.

Under the organization of Ichinose and Kanzaki, the man and woman began to return to their respective accommodations.
