Classroom of the Elite: I Can Add Points Without Limit, Chapter 135
Given the financial situation of the students in Class C, 10,000 Private Points is quite a lot. They certainly didn't spend that much at the coffee shop in a month.
But that's alright, she's VIP of this Special Exam, and she'll receive 1 million Private Points after the exam, which is enough to cover the compensation.
Todo Rika swallowed hard. Under Aragaki Shun's watchful gaze, she naturally wouldn't ask for anything more unreasonable.
Thus, the two sides quickly reached a public reconciliation, and even Manabe Shiho and the other two didn't say much.
After Karuizawa may not realize it, in the eyes of others, the girl is ultimately the leader of Class D, with the strength of an entire class under her command and the strongest first-year student backing her.
To be honest, before seeking justice from Aragaki Shun, Manabe himself was quite nervous, fearing that he would choose to protect him.
But there was no other way. Knowing that her friend was being bullied by others, as the leader of the group, she had to stand up for her even if it meant gritting her teeth.
Otherwise, you'd become the laughingstock of the class.
Fortunately, the result is not bad.
204. Rebuilding order in Class D; Kushida becomes a three-faced man.
" With Ryuen falling down Hiyori transferring classes, are there any capable and Akito left in Class C?"
After sending Manabe Shiho's group away, Aragaki Shun asked Karuizawa Kei to stay behind and then called Ichinose, Kanzaki, Shiina, and Ibuki.
Seeing that she didn't understand anything and was still wondering why Aragaki Shun called her the blue-haired girl, the Leader of Class A twitched her lips slightly, inexplicably feeling that she had misjudged people.
Ibuki's abilities are indeed impressive. In terms of physical fitness, Combat skills, and mental fortitude, she is undoubtedly among the best in Class C.
What's even more remarkable is that this young woman is the kind of person who, no matter how many thoughts she has in her mind, will quietly settle down and get things done when faced with reality.
When faced with her superior's instructions, even if she doesn't understand or even resents them, as long as she is certain that it is beneficial to the group, she will put aside her personal feelings, complete the task first, and then consider other things.
According to Ibuki's thinking, since they know they are not smart enough, they should not cause trouble, but should obey the orders of the person who can lead them forward.
When it comes to serious matters, the girl is never ambiguous, and she would never ruin the class's strategy for her own selfish reasons. She can be said to be a very good executor.
However, in the realm of teamwork, Ibuki's taciturn and aloof demeanor, coupled with her barbed expressions, are truly fatal flaws.
As Aragaki Shun's representative in Class C, she could only serve as a symbolic flag, inspiring awe in the students who admired strength, but she couldn't fully utilize Class C's power like Ryuen could, making the students in the class obey her arrangements in every aspect.
After thinking it over, I realized that I still needed to support another student in Class C so that he could make up for Ibuki Mio's shortcomings.
Just like in Class A, Aragaki Shun has Ichinose and Kanzaki as his two right-hand men, while Ibuki's abilities are not as good as theirs, and the atmosphere in the class is even worse, so it is indeed a bit difficult for her to manage the entire Class C by herself.
With this in mind, Aragaki Shun explained the conflict between Manabe and the Manabe and Karuizawa, and then shared his own thoughts before asking the useful members of Class C.
Yes, the main people I asked were Ibuki Mio and Shiina Hiyori, as they should both have some knowledge in this area.
As for whether finding someone to share Ibuki's power, or having her make the recommendation herself, might anger the girl... this guy probably doesn't have that kind of awareness.
"If we're only looking at leadership skills, Manabe is actually quite good."
After thinking for a moment, Shiina Hiyori quickly offered her opinion. "She's Karuizawa from the beginning; she has enough prestige among the girls."
That's about right!
Aragaki Shun secretly cursed in his heart that after arriving at Advanced Nurturing, Karuizawa Kei had created this kind of strong and glamorous persona for herself.
Manabe is genuinely assertive, while Karuizawa, though seemingly well-pretended, is actually easily exposed and lacks real confidence.
From this perspective, since Karuizawa could control Class D on his behalf, Manabe Shiho could most likely play a similar role.
If she were to unite most of Class C and handle the complex interpersonal relationships within the class, it would be a good match for Ibuki, who is strong in execution but prefers to work alone.
Surprisingly, Ibuki, who usually doesn't have many opinions, strongly opposed this choice.
"I just can't get along with any of them!"
"Besides, Manabe is a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong. If he really gets on your good side, he'll have the power to control the rest of the class, and he'll definitely become arrogant and out of control in the future."
Well, given Ibuki's personality, since she's so vehemently opposed, she probably really doesn't have a good impression of Manabe and her group.
Of course, if Aragaki Shun chose to act unilaterally, the girl would inevitably hold her nose and cooperate with him.
"Then do you think there are any more suitable candidates in Class C?" Turning her gaze to the blue-haired girl, the Leader of Class A said bluntly, "Opposition alone is useless; you have to help me resolve this matter."
If it's just about opposing for the sake of opposing, then Aragaki Shun definitely won't care about Ibuki's likes or dislikes.
However, if there is a more suitable person, it doesn't matter if Manabe Shiho is replaced, since the future Class C will still need another person to work with Ibuki to manage it.
"Why not just let Kaneda come!" Ibuki Mio said matter-of-factly. "With Shiina transferring classes and Ryuen stepping down, he's already the smartest person in the class."
"Kaneda Satoru," Aragaki Shun retrieved the information about this person from his memories.
If we exclude Hiyori, then the other person is indeed the best student in Class C, but when compared to the entire first year, this person's grades seem mediocre.
To put it simply, according to the school's evaluation, Hiyori has an A- in both academic ability and intelligence, while Kaneda Satoru only has a B in academic ability and a C+ in intelligence, making his surface data significantly worse than Kushida Kikyo's.
In real life, it's hard to know if this person is smart, since it's been so long since school started and we haven't heard of him doing anything at the Advanced Nurturing.
It can only be said that Class C is truly lacking in talent. The Hiyori was initially assigned here was probably due to the school's consideration of balancing the class.
"What do you think Hiyori?" The Leader of Class A turned her gaze to the Literary Girl, seeking her advice.
"Kaneda-kun..." After a moment's hesitation, Shiina Hiyori said softly, "In Class C, Kaneda-kun is considered Akito, but not quite smart enough."
"Furthermore, Jin Tian is somewhat weak in both physical fitness and teamwork."
Hiyori's assessment was somewhat awkward, but Aragaki Shun understood it easily.
In short, in the eyes of the Literary Girl, Kaneda Satoru, a student with good grades, is more suited to be a strategist who devises plans than to lead others as a class leader.
Most of the students in Class C are either delinquents who like to fight or hot girls who cause trouble everywhere. Kaneda Satoru is too weak physically and not good at teamwork, so it will probably be difficult for him to win over this group.
With good grades alone, he might earn the respect of some people, but that's all he can do; he can't achieve much more.
"Kinda-kun doesn't have enough of a commanding presence. If he were to lead Class C, the atmosphere would probably become much more relaxed."
Will the atmosphere become more relaxed?
Upon hearing Hiyori's description, Aragaki Shun raised an eyebrow.
Does this mean that the members of Class C, under Kaneda's command, will outwardly comply but inwardly defy him, or will they simply disobey his orders and go their own way?
Simply put, Kaneda Satoru isn't the kind of person who can unite the class, right?
"Similar to Kaneda is Ishizaki. His fighting ability has some deterrent effect in Class C, but it's not enough to make everyone in the class submit."
After ruling out both candidates, and after hesitating for a moment, the Literary Girl simply decided to recommend herself.
"How about I take over? Although I've left, it hasn't been long, and my influence in Class C should still remain."
So, excluding Ryuen and Hiyori, does Class C not even have anyone who can openly lead the class?
After a moment of internal grumbling, Aragaki Shun shook his head. "Forget it, let the students of Class C their own daily management. They don't even attend classes in the same classroom, so remote control would be inconvenient."
He wasn't doubting Hiyori's ability; as the former intellectual pinnacle of Class C, someone even Ryuen respected, the girl's abilities were acknowledged by everyone in Class C.
He knew that Hiyori didn't like dealing with such trivial matters, so he stepped forward to volunteer in order to help him.
However, the situation did not develop to that point. Class C didn't hold much importance in Aragaki Shun's eyes, so why waste their time together?
"Let Manabe Shiho it!"
Without much hesitation, the Leader of Class A made a decisive decision.
Ishizaki Daichi is brave but reckless, Kaneda Satoru has no prestige among the fighting faction in Class C, and Manabe Shiho is neither smart nor strong, but she is indeed quite capable as a team leader.
This person is usually accompanied by two or three followers, and today he is also willing to stand up for the disadvantaged friends in the class.
As for what Ibuki said about Manabe being a bully who picks on the weak and easily gets arrogant... well, he's the toughest guy in the whole school anyway, so it doesn't matter. At worst, we'll just give him a little nudge.
"This kind of thing..."
"I need someone to mediate the relationships within Class C. From now on, any minor conflicts should be resolved internally. Don't bring every little thing to me!"
Interrupting Ibuki's words abruptly, Aragaki Shun looked serious and then glanced at the restless Karuizawa Kei.
"And for Class D, we also need to establish another management team."
It's obvious that Karuizawa's public persona is the same as Manabe's real image, and their positions in their respective classes are actually quite similar.
If Class C is managed by Ibuki and Manabe, then the other person in Class D who works with Karuizawa should have the same role as Ibuki.
As images of people surfaced in his memory, Aragaki Shun quickly thought of Horikita Suzune.
However, after Manabu Horikita graduates, she will either leave the school with him or transfer to Class A. In any case, she will definitely not stay in Class D for long, so choosing her is not very suitable.
That leaves only Kushida Kikyo and Yosuke Hirata as suitable candidates?
Well, compared to the lack of talent in Class C, Class D is the other extreme, with too many capable people, but all of them have flaws.
Aragaki Shun's eyebrows twitched. She prepared to talk to Kushida later. Ever since that night, he had been avoiding her, and she didn't know what was going on.
"Finally, there's Ichinose and Kanzaki. If you have time, you can give Ibuki and Karuizawa some guidance. Hiyori can also keep an eye on Class C and Class D in her spare time."
Upon hearing this, the three people whose names were mentioned exchanged glances, and they all understood something.
It is obvious that Aragaki Shun is preparing to strengthen his control over Class C and Class D, and by constructing an objectively existing management order, he will make the two lower-ranking classes completely subservient to Class A.
"I understand. I will get in touch with the four management members of Class C and Class D as soon as possible."
Kanzaki Ryuji sighed, feeling deeply that he was destined to be a busybody.
"Isn't it great that everyone can become friends?" Ichinose Honami smiled energetically, looking full of motivation.
"Sure, don't worry, Shun-kun."
Shiina Hiyori flicked a strand of hair near her earlobe, a smile playing on her lips.

After arriving in Class A, she learned that Aragaki Shun delegated all the trivial matters to his two subordinates, focusing only on making important decisions.
The restructuring of the management teams for Class C and Class D is naturally for the same reason: he doesn't want the two classes to bother him with trivial matters all the time.
After the members of Class A reached a consensus, Aragaki Shun turned his attention to Ibuki Mio and Karuizawa Kei.
The blue-haired girl opened her mouth, but in the end, she could only mutter softly in resentment, "Can't we really change it to someone else?"
"Of course, but you need to find me someone who can manage Class C."
"Would Manabe Shiho? I think she's not as good as Kaneda or Ishizaki!"
"You're right, but she'll use her connections and form cliques. Even if it's just to gain my support, she'll do everything in her power to transform Class C into the way I want it to be."
To put it bluntly, if someone like Manabe were to rise to power, he would most likely become an arrogant, domineering, and sycophantic minister.
But it doesn't matter. The wicked must be dealt with by the wicked. In an environment like Class C, a leader who isn't assertive will only be looked down upon.
On the other hand, with the situation of the first year becoming clear, Ibuki Mio seems to have become somewhat complacent, while Karuizawa Kei is more like a balloon, pretending to be inflated even though she can't get hard.
Supporting Manabe, who is at odds with them, might have unexpected positive effects.
"If you can't fulfill my requirements, then I'll have no choice but to keep recruiting."
"Go back and think it over carefully. The 20 million transfer fee I promised you isn't because you're rich and have too much money to spend."
With the Leader of Class A's subtly cautionary voice trailing off, the meeting came to a complete end.
After sending Karuizawa and Ibuki away, Aragaki Shun, Kanzaki, Ichinose, and the others continued to discuss the management of the lower-ranked classes for a while.
Seeing that everyone understood his thoughts, the boy was very satisfied. He then put aside these trivial matters and went to find Kushida Kikyo as planned.
In theory, Yosuke Hirata would also be suitable, but in Aragaki Shun's premonition, this hidden threat was no less than that of Kushida.
In contrast to Hirata's still uncertain situation, Kushida has at least been detonated and shouldn't cause any new problems in the short term.
With that thought in mind, Aragaki Shun returned to the same spot from that night and began sending emails to Kushida Kikyo.
[Aragaki Shun]: "Come to the stern, I need to talk to you."
--Read but not replying.
[Aragaki Shun]: "Please communicate with me using the correct method."
--Read but not replying.
Aragaki Shun's brow twitched, and he tapped his finger on the railing in front of him for three minutes—
[Kushida Kikyo]: "..."
[Kushida Kikyo]: "I understand."
Unsure of what the girl opposite him was feeling, Aragaki Shun suppressed his strange feelings and chose to gaze at the sea and wait patiently.
So, after about ten minutes, seeing Kushida arrive, the boy's head was filled with question marks.
How did this guy suddenly become a three-faced person?!
