"Because of health reasons, I remember you rarely get up at this time Sakayanagi?"

Since moving to this apartment, the two have become neighbors. For Aragaki Shun, who is used to getting up early for a morning run, it wasn't difficult to figure out Sakayanagi's schedule.

"After all, it's been two weeks since I last saw Aragaki, and I'm already quite excited about our reunion today."

Sakayanagi smiled slightly, his words carrying an ambiguous quality, as if there was some special close relationship between them.

Aragaki Shun just rolled his eyes at this. He wasn't an inexperienced virgin, so why would he be swayed by such a little trick?

More importantly, the person on the other end has a congenital heart condition, and no rational person would have any special romantic feelings for her.

Otherwise, could they really turn a wedding into a funeral?

Sakayanagi, of course, was perfectly aware of his own situation.

Therefore, this ambiguous tone should be taken as a useful rhetoric; if you take it seriously, you'll fall for it.

"Hiss~ For someone with your personality to say something like that is truly chilling."

With his arms crossed, Aragaki Shun bluntly retorted, "Are you trying to catch me off guard so you can exploit my weakness?"

Sakayanagi Arisu: "..."

"Is my image in Aragaki's eyes really that bad?"

The silver-haired girl wore a look that was both funny and exasperated. The aggrieved expression on her delicate face would make anyone who didn't know the situation glare angrily at Aragaki Shun for causing this scene.

"It's not about whether your image is good or bad; I just think you're capable of doing something like this."

Everyone says that Sakayanagi is a so-called genius, but in Aragaki Shun's eyes, this guy just has a congenital heart disease and has been comforted by his family, so he really thinks he's a genius.

After all, with the background of the Board Chairman of the Advanced Nurturing Institute, most people would definitely be willing to go along with her ideas. As long as enough people are fooled, the fake will become the real thing.

Ultimately, given her status, as long as she doesn't run into people from the same social class, she can do whatever she wants without any problems.

In this situation, it would be incredibly easy for the girl to claim the title of "genius."

However, if things develop to the point where the background becomes ineffective, and victory cannot be achieved without a fight, requiring her to personally intervene in the game, then the title of "genius" will become precarious.

To this day, Aragaki Shun still can't figure it out: Sakayanagi Arisu is clearly the most talked-about person in the Advanced Nurturing, so where does she get the audacity to launch a rumor-mongering campaign against him?

On the other hand, based on the information provided by Yamamura Miki and Kamuro Masumi, he also learned that the other side had planned to target the Katsuragi Faction in order to completely unify the management of the class.

This isn't really a big deal; Class B does need to integrate to unleash its full potential.

The problem is that the unification method in Sakayanagi Arisu's plan was to betray the organization during the Special Exam dominated by the Katsuragi Faction.

In this way, Katsuragi Kohei, who has caused significant losses to the class, will be abandoned by the entire class... This tactic is difficult to judge.

To Aragaki Shun, under normal circumstances, Sakayanagi and Katsuragi's strengths are actually quite similar, but the girl's disregard for the class's interests forced Katsuragi to give up.

If you can't suppress them with sheer strength, then fight to the death and see who can withstand the greater losses.

Clearly, Katsuragi was no match for him in this aspect; he lost from the very beginning.

His most proficient methods are backstabbing and spreading rumors. From this, we can see that Sakayanagi actually advocates harming others with his own strength. With a thick health bar, he can win even if he kills 800 enemies but loses 1,000 of his own.

Therefore, he had every reason to suspect that Sakayanagi was trying to seduce him.

Regardless of the truth, we should be more vigilant. Given the other person's physical condition, if we go even slightly astray, it's only a matter of time before we're expelled from school or even sent to prison.

Sakayanagi Arisu: "..."

Faced with the teenager's outspoken remarks, the Board Chairman's daughter finally lost her composure.

With a slightly annoyed look, the girl glanced at the man and said, "Since Aragaki- kun doesn't like me so much, then I won't stay any longer. I'm just getting in your way."

"My father asked me to tell you that achieving 1730 Class Evaluation Points and 85 million Private Points in a single summer vacation is a miracle that has never happened since the Advanced Nurturing the school."

"But the school isn't going to take this lying down. They might let it go once or twice, but don't expect to have such a good opportunity again, especially after he leaves school, when the exam format for first and second year students will change."

After saying this, Sakayanagi Arisu saw that Aragaki Shun looked thoughtful, turned around, opened the door, and disappeared, leaving only a "bang".

Shaking his head, Aragaki Shun could only sigh at how much Sakayanagi Narimori doted on his only daughter.

"Knowing that the VIP Exam is meaningless and just a way to give me money, they still arranged so many rewards... Was this what they were waiting for?"

It's obvious that the Board Chairman specifically asked Sakayanagi Arisu to convey this message in order to ask for a favor for his daughter.

In two weeks, he will be leaving Advanced Nurturing, and before that, he naturally needs to make arrangements for Sakayanagi Arisu's life.

Even just considering those 85 million Private Points, once Sakayanagi Arisu joins Class A, he'll have to give her some special treatment.

At the very least, we can't let her be ostracized and isolated by the other students in Class A.

Of course, Aragaki Shun might not care about his Private Points, but the Source Power he gained from the VIP Exam was real.

In addition, Chairman Sakayanagi specifically reminded him that the exam format for first and second year students would change when the next semester begins.

I just don't know exactly what aspects of the changes are being referred to.

While pondering, Aragaki Shun turned his gaze to Sakayanagi Arisu's apartment next door.

As the Board Chairman of the school's board of directors, Sakayanagi Narimori was naturally aware of where his daughter had moved to.

Since the other party did not object, it can be considered as tacit agreement to some extent.

Should I say, "The hearts of parents are full of love and worry for each other"?

He muttered a soft remark, and Aragaki Shun felt goosebumps rising on his skin.

According to information obtained from Director Kanda, Sakayanagi Narimori's suspension of his position is also to take the time to adopt a suitable successor from a branch of the Sakayanagi Family, so as not to let the Board Chairman chairmanship slip away.

Given Sakayanagi Arisu's physical condition, she certainly couldn't inherit the position herself. She wanted to find a son-in-law and adopt a son, but because of her congenital heart disease, the young girl couldn't even have sex, let alone get pregnant.

Of course, if all they want is a child, given the Sakayanagi Family's resources, they could certainly use surrogacy or other technological means.

However, at Sakurajima, such behavior is prohibited by industry self-regulation and would be condemned by society.

Children born in this way not only face issues with paternity verification, but also cannot inherit Sakayanagi Narimori's political identity.

In short, if his heart ailment cannot be cured, Sakayanagi Arisu most likely have no chance of inheriting the Sakayanagi Family.

Therefore, for her future, Sakayanagi Narimori may already be helping her build connections so that she can continue to live a carefree and happy life in her later years.

Even so, what does it mean that the other party allowed Sakayanagi Arisu to approach him?

Speechless, Aragaki Shun certainly doesn't think he'll develop a Platonic, spiritual love...

After my morning run and breakfast...

Seeing that the weather outside was quite hot, Aragaki Shun originally planned to stay in his apartment and enjoy the air conditioning, but unexpectedly, the Student Council suddenly sent him an email.

Some were curious about what had happened that required them to call him over.

Aragaki Shun greeted Shiranami Chihiro and then simply walked out of the apartment.

Because of his innate [Sun Kin], the heat in mid-August, though somewhat unbearable, actually enhanced his physical strength.

There are reasons why Aragaki Shun doesn't want to go out.

As students dressed in casual clothes, wearing sun hats, or carrying parasols passed by the teenager, a certain sense of entitlement suddenly arose.

"Isn't that Aragaki Shun from Class 1-A? I heard he led the entire first-year class to a total of 1730 Class Evaluation Points and 85 million Private Points in the two Special Exam during the summer vacation."

"It really is him! To achieve this level during the summer break of the first semester, even Miyabi Nagumo is far inferior!"

"Both of them are Vice President of the Student Council, and both started from Class B and rose to power in Class A. But Aragaki Shun Miyabi Nagumo a whole year to completely suppress the Class 2-B."

"Speaking of which, I don't recall ever hearing of anyone dropping out in first grade, right?"

"No one dropped out, but several people wanted to transfer to Class A. Even if the outcome is the same, their approaches are still different."

"I'm so envious. Not a single student dropped out, and they even helped transfer students to other classes. Compared to Nagumo, Aragaki Shun seems much more kind-hearted."

"Keep your voice down. If Nagumo hears you say that, you're in for a world of trouble..."

As Aragaki Shun passed by, students cast various complex glances in his direction.

Because of his exceptionally keen hearing, the boy could hear even the whispers coming from the corners.

However, such attention-grabbing situations are not uncommon for Aragaki Shun.

The reason his popularity has surged again in a short period of time is simply due to the news of the two Special Exam.

Regardless of whether these people were amazed or shocked, when Aragaki Shun glanced over, no one dared to deliberately challenge him.

The only noteworthy thing is that this group of people started comparing him to Miyabi Nagumo.

It seems like someone is deliberately stirring up trouble?

Nagumo's competitive nature, wouldn't hearing such remarks surely ignite his fighting spirit?

However, since the two were rivals in the Student Council, this matter was irrelevant.

Ignoring the unwanted stares, Aragaki Shun walked straight towards the Student Council Activity Classroom.

Upon arriving at the destination, I knocked on the door twice familiarly, and only pushed it open after hearing a sound from inside.

"Horikita President Vice President Nagumo..." Looking at his two familiar colleagues, Aragaki Shun was somewhat surprised. "Even Tachibana Akane isn't here. What's going on?"

That's right!

Aragaki Shun walked into the Student Council and, upon looking around, only saw Manabu Horikita Miyabi Nagumo.

This is really strange.

His gaze shifted somewhat subtly towards the blond-haired man. Based on his observations of the Student Council, this Vice President seemed to have a deep-seated obsession with Horikita President.

If you guys want to play any games, don't include me!

While inwardly complaining, Aragaki Shun outwardly asked with a straight face:

"What Student Council work is off-limits even to the secretary?"

209. Miyabi Nagumo's Challenge; The Generous Money-Giving Boy

"What Student Council work is off-limits even to the secretary?"

Upon hearing Aragaki Shun's question, Manabu Horikita simply gestured for him to sit in the remaining seat, then pushed up his reflective glasses, saying, "The school has made new arrangements regarding next semester's Sports Festival."

With a slight furrow in his brow, the Student Council President seemed somewhat displeased with the situation, but still calmly explained:

"The school intends to promote competition among the three grades during the Sports Festival. Some rules have now been delegated to the Student Council, and the three of us need to negotiate them."

"I see!" Aragaki Shun chuckled, a playful expression on his lips. "So the school finally thinks the internal competition between the three grades is too boring and is preparing to revise the Special Exam format?"

This is something that can be understood with a little thought.

From the school's perspective, the internal competition among the three grades has largely reached a point where the outcome is already decided. If no external factors are involved, the winners who will graduate from Class A over the next three years can be determined right now.

Manabu Horikita is doing well; they only have two semesters left before graduation and have already withstood the test of more than two years. Even now, Class 3-B is still persevering.

The problems with the first and second grades were far more serious. These two grades were almost completely integrated by Aragaki Shun Miyabi Nagumo. The remaining rebels, even if they had ideas, were powerless to make any changes.

If the status quo is maintained and everything is allowed to develop freely, then the five semesters after the second year and the eight semesters after the first year will become Class A's playground.

During this period, the Advanced Nurturing educational philosophy regarding class competition will completely collapse and become utterly meaningless.

Therefore, Aragaki Shun had anticipated the school's interference.

And this isn't necessarily a bad thing for him.

The fact that he could force the school to change was a testament to his influence, and the expansion of class competition made it easier for him to acquire Source Power.

"So what specific changes are involved, and what rules can the Student Council participate in formulating?"

I looked curiously at the desk in front of him, where a rather heavy document lay.

According to the Advanced Nurturing rules and regulations, the Student Council is indeed granted the power to change school rules within a certain scope.

But prior to this, Aragaki Shun had never actually experienced this situation.

After all, Manabu Horikita is a relatively conservative Student Council President.

He will maintain the status quo unless absolutely necessary, and will not use his power to bring about change.

"I was right, wasn't I? Horikita-senpai, Aragaki- kun must be just as delighted with this change as I am."

Before Manabu Horikita could respond, Miyabi Nagumo suddenly spoke up.

He had a bright smile on his face and looked very happy.

After all, the Sports Festival will be changed to a competition among the three grades, which is exactly what he wanted to do, as he has always longed to play against Manabu Horikita.

During his time in the Student Council, Nagumo launched countless provocations, but Manabu Horikita always managed to defuse them with ease.
