"Aragaki -kun, ya~"

Upon seeing her lover arrive, the Little Transparent's eyes lit up. She had just called out the other person's name in a soft voice when she was startled by the boy's strong embrace.

"No, no, that won't do..." Yamamura Miki blushed and waved her hands in a flustered manner, "Aragaki -kun is too... I was exhausted last night, and Morishita even laughed at me this morning for sleeping in..."

"Uh~" Aragaki Shun was a little embarrassed, and then, to cover up his awkwardness, he decisively poked the girl's forehead with his finger and seriously reprimanded her, "What are you saying? I just wanted to hug my girlfriend, I didn't have any other thoughts at all."

"As expected, Miki is the slutty girl. She thinks of those things as soon as I get close to her, and she even dares to frame me on purpose."

"Aragaki-kun ..." Yamamura Miki was both amused and exasperated. Her boyfriend was like a child, always trying to shift the blame at times like this.

Aragaki Shun chuckled, just about to continue teasing the Little Transparent, when he suddenly heard a soft footstep beside him.

Frowning, the boy turned to look at the path leading to the stern of the ship. He saw a girl carrying a digital camera walking along, looking around absentmindedly, as if searching for something.

The girl had bright red pigtails and wore square, unfashionable glasses, making her seem quite inconspicuous.

"Sakura?"

Aragaki Shun was somewhat surprised. What was this country girl doing here?

Even if I wanted to take photos, it's already past 10 PM, the time is completely inconvenient.

"Eh? Aragaki -kun," Sakura Airi exclaimed with surprise upon hearing Aragaki Shun's call, "So you're here!"

The red-haired girl had just taken two steps and was about to say something when she suddenly noticed another person in the boy's arms.

"Ah! I'm sorry, I didn't know you were on a date, I... I... oops~"

Sakura gasped in surprise, stumbling backward in a panic, completely bewildered and at a loss.

Then, to Aragaki Shun's astonishment, the girl's body swayed, and she was about to fall onto the deck, her digital camera flying off with her.

"Be careful. Even if you're surprised to see me, there's no need to be so reckless, is there?"

With lightning speed, he helped the girl up, caught the flying digital camera with his other hand, Aragaki Shun sighed.

"I remember the first time we met, this thing got dropped. Am I just incompatible with it?"

"No, no, that's not it... It's all my fault, it was my carelessness, it has nothing to do with Aragaki -kun..."

With Aragaki Shun holding her waist, Sakura Airi's cheeks flushed red, but seeing Yamamura Miki looking somewhat curious beside her, she could only suppress her reluctance and reluctantly stand up to bow her head and apologize to the two of them.

"I'm sorry, I thought no one was here. I've disturbed you. I'll leave now."

However, this is actually a lie!

Sakura's actions were originally aimed at finding Aragaki Shun.

It should be said that, since she had nothing to do on the ship these past few days, the girl kept thinking to herself whether she should deliberately create a chance encounter and ask Aragaki Shun to take pictures with her in various places on the cruise ship.

The boy was so engrossed in his new relationships with Wang Meiyu and Yamamura Miki that he would disappear after each group discussion.

Sakura wasn't the outgoing and lively type, so she wouldn't dare to directly make such a request, like a date, via email.

As time dragged on, even after the VIP Exam were over, the girl still hadn't found the opportunity she had imagined.

This is why Aragaki Shun seemed so distraught when he saw Sakura earlier.

Feeling depressed, the girl followed her instincts and subconsciously came to this secluded corner that no one usually visited. Little did she expect that she would suddenly bump into the person she was looking for.

It's true what they say: sometimes you try to plant flowers, but they don't bloom; other times you plant willows without thinking, and they thrive.

But who is this girl that Aragaki-kun is hugging?

Were they having a secret rendezvous late at night?

The thought of this possibility brought a wave of sorrow to the red-haired girl's heart. She forgot all her previous thoughts and now only wanted to run back to her room and cry her heart out.

Seeing Sakura turn to leave, her haggard and strained expression was unsettling. Aragaki Shun sighed inwardly and forcefully grabbed her arm to stop her from running away.

"Miki and I are just enjoying the breeze here. This area at the stern is a public area of the cruise ship and doesn't belong to anyone. Sakura doesn't need to leave on purpose."

After all, he was a personal idol who would send him bonus photos every now and then, Aragaki Shun felt he should still try to appease him.

"Also, let me introduce you. This is Yamamura Miki, and like Chihiro and Xiao Mei, she's also my girlfriend."

Three or three... girlfriends?!

Sakura Airi's eyes widened. She wondered if she was hallucinating, otherwise how could she hear something so outrageous!

She knew about Shiranami Chihiro, but were Wang Meiyu and this Yamamura Miki also Aragaki's girlfriends?

Is this real or fake?

Aragaki-kun said it so openly and without any attempt to hide it, as if it were perfectly natural... Could it be that the problem lies with her, or that her common sense is flawed?

Sakura Airi felt dizzy and confused, her mind a complete mess, and she had no idea what was going on.

"And this Miki, and this is Sakura Airi, my friend from Class D. Although her situation isn't as amazing as yours, Sakura is also quite unremarkable."

Yamamura Miki: "..."

The little autistic child opened his mouth, but ultimately remained silent because he didn't know what to say.

However, she could indeed sense the familiar aura surrounding Sakura.

The two are probably similar in some ways; both are extremely shy around strangers, dislike attracting attention, but yearn for understanding and empathy.

But just like the law of attraction between opposite sexes, even though they were the same type of girl, neither of them had the courage to take the first step, so naturally they had no chance to play together.

Sensing the slightly awkward atmosphere, Aragaki Shun shook his head, grabbed one of the two by the left hand and the other by the right, and led them directly to the railing by the sea. "I'll pretend you two are acquainted. If you don't want to chat, just sit here and enjoy the breeze while you wait for the school's email."

If only Ichinozaki Namiho were here at this moment; her angelic aura is perfect for handling awkward silences within a group.

That's not quite right either. For example, Himeno Yuki has never really liked lively atmospheres. Sakura Miki were to encounter Ichinose, they would probably feel uncomfortable because of the girl's enthusiasm.

Thinking this through, Aragaki Shun simply ignored the subtle awkwardness of the situation and took out his phone to look at various intelligence reports.

Anyway, he was quite used to the quiet atmosphere with someone by his side and didn't think there was anything wrong with the silence between them.

Compared to the boy's composure, Sakura felt her heart beating faster and faster, as if it were about to burst out of her chest.

"Hand~"

Feeling her right hand, which Aragaki Shun had been holding and hadn't let go of yet, the girl lowered her head, her earlobes slightly red, and it seemed as if countless chaotic thoughts were colliding in her mind.

Well, I don't know why, but Aragaki-kun already has three girlfriends, so adding her one more shouldn't be a problem, right?

This strange thought suddenly popped into Sakura, and she was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to face anyone. She could only wave the digital camera in her other hand to pretend that she wasn't thinking anything.

Meanwhile, Yamamura Miki, on the other side, felt a certain empathy upon witnessing this scene.

Because of her inferiority complex, she could only hide alone in a corner, secretly watching the person who seemed to be the center of the world.

Wanting to change, but not knowing what to do, they can only rely on wishful thinking to entertain themselves mentally, ultimately stagnating in the same place.

When Aragaki-kun asked her out that day, the girl felt like she was dreaming.

After all, she knew how popular the other person was. Aside from fantasies, how could she, who was never noticed in reality, possibly encounter such a wonderful thing?

Perhaps Aragaki-kun is right, this Sakura really does resemble her quite a bit...

Each of the three was preoccupied with their own thoughts, and quietly enjoyed the nighttime sea view. Before they knew it, it was eleven o'clock.

As if it were preordained, just as Aragaki Shun noticed the time changing on his phone, an email from the school arrived.

Results for each group:

The first result is that all group members answered correctly after the exam.

Ox (丑) -- After the exam, all group members answered correctly, which is result one.

Tiger (寅) -- After the exam, all group members answered correctly, which is result one.

Rabbit (卯)... Dragon (辰)... Snake (巳)... Horse (午)... Sheep (未)...

Shen (Monkey)... You (Rooster)... Xu (Dog)...

[Hai (Pig) -- After the exam, all group members answered correctly, which is result one.]

As expected, after the exam, all twelve groups completed the first result as planned.

Further down the email, the exam results for each class were specifically highlighted.

Based on the above results, the changes in points for each class in this exam are as follows:

Class A – Class Evaluation Points unchanged, Private Points increased by 22 million.

Class B - Class Evaluation Points unchanged, Private Points increased by 21.5 million.

Class C – Class Evaluation Points unchanged, Private Points increased by 20.5 million.

Class D – Class Evaluation Points unchanged, Private Points increased by 21 million.

These are the final results of this VIP Exam.

The email also mentioned that all students' Private Points would be distributed within three days, and those who needed anonymous services such as temporary IDs could apply through the link in the email.

If no other services are needed, you can directly apply for Private Points to be transferred. If no application is made within three days, the school will automatically transfer the points to the student's personal account.

Of course, it must be mentioned that on the very first day the VIP were selected, Aragaki Shun signed a contract with all the first-year students, stipulating that all the gains from this exam would belong to him.

In other words, at this moment, he is the only student who needs to apply for points to be transferred.

In this situation, the so-called anonymous service was of no use at all. Aragaki Shun decisively applied via email to have the school transfer his Private Points immediately.

The Leader of Class A was somewhat surprised by this—normally, given the Advanced Nurturing, if the Class Evaluation Points hadn't changed, that Private Points should only be officially transferred in next month.

However, he suddenly realized that when next month came, Sakayanagi Narimori would be leaving the school and suspending his position as Board Chairman, at which time Director Kanda would take over the corresponding work.

Therefore, it is quite normal for Chairman Sakayanagi to calculate his Private Points for this Special Exam before leaving the school.

If you don't use your power, it will expire.

Moreover, if the money is delayed until next month, the first person the recipient of this huge sum of money will think of is Kanda.

Trying to guess what Sakayanagi Narimori was thinking, just a few minutes later, as if he had been prepared, Aragaki Shun's personal account suddenly gained 85 million Private Points.

There were 160 students in the first grade, but Sakayanagi Arisu and Ryuen Kakeru did not participate in the exam, meaning 158 students received 500,000 yen each, with 12 students receiving an additional 500,000 yen as VIP.

All of this adds up to 85 million Private Points, enough to help four people transfer classes with some left over.

However, according to the profit distribution plan decided at the time, there were 118 people from the three classes A, C, and D who participated in this exam. He still needed to give 1 million to each of the 9 VIP and 50,000 to each of the remaining 109 people.

Even with this distribution, he was still able to retain 70.55 million Private Points, accounting for the lion's share of all the winnings.

With this, the second Special Exam during the summer vacation has officially ended.

In two days, the cruise ship will return to Advanced Nurturing, and everyone will be able to freely spend the remaining two weeks of summer vacation on campus.

But before that, Aragaki Shun had an even more important task to complete.

That is, with the influx of a new Source Power, he was finally able to condense the talent he had been longing for.

207. An extraordinary beginning; the peak of power at noon.

Suppressing the urge to immediately condense the [Sun Kin], Aragaki Shun looked at the constant stream of emails on his phone, thought for a moment, and then directly transferred 43 million yen to Class A's class fund account.

Then, unsurprisingly, Kanzaki Ryuji soon received a text message filled with questions.

[Kanzaki Ryuji]: "???"

[Kanzaki Ryuji]: "Your Private Points from the VIP Exam have been credited to your account so quickly? But why are you sending them to the class fund?"

[Aragaki Shun]: "According to the class rules and regulations, it's perfectly normal for me to contribute half of my Private Points to the class fund."

This refers to the third rule of Class A.

When someone in the class earns Class Points for Class A through their individual efforts, the class should give an appropriate reward. Up to half of the Class Points corresponding to the Private Points can be taken as a reward from the class fund.

Conversely, when a member of the class obtains a large number of Private Points by utilizing class information and resources, they must contribute half of their points related to the class to the class fund, based on their contribution.

Without a doubt, this VIP Exam is the kind of exam that requires the combined efforts of the entire class to achieve the greatest results.

Therefore, according to the rules, Aragaki Shun naturally needs to contribute half of his Private Points to the class fund.

While it's not a problem if he doesn't top up, he has no reason to break the rules he specifically set.

[Aragaki Shun]: "Also, the rewards promised to the others are included in this part, so I'll leave it to you to share with them."

There are 118 students from the three ACD classes who participated in this exam. Transferring money to each of them individually would be a tedious and troublesome task.

Aragaki Shun dislikes dealing with such chores, and since this is the responsibility of the class fund manager, Kanzaki has to do it instead.

[Kanzaki Ryuji]: "... I have a feeling that this is the real reason you transferred money to me."

[Kanzaki Ryuji]: "Fine, since you're willing to do this kind of back-and-forth stuff, I have nothing more to say."
