I Can Gain Points Without Limit, Chapter 168

Aragaki Shun, Chihiro, and Xiao Mei were on their way back to Class A when Kushida Kikyo and Karuizawa Kei showed up at their door.

Then, they received an unexpected message from the two of them.

"Oh, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka has transferred to Class B."

Aragaki Shun raised an eyebrow. "Even a Transfer Ticket requires 2 million Private Points. Where did he get the money?"

After subconsciously asking this question, Aragaki Shun quickly eliminated one option after another in his mind, and finally decided on the answer Chabashira Sae.

First of all, there's no need to consider the various shops in the shopping mall. He's tried them himself, and the school restricts these shop assistants even more than the faculty members, completely prohibiting them from participating in class competitions between students.

Besides, the only way to obtain more than 2 million Private Points at once without any Special Exam is to farm rich players' gold coins.

Among the first-year students, only he and Kanzaki Ryuji could come up with this amount of money all at once. Most of the second-year students' Private Points were in the hands of Miyabi Nagumo. The Class A of the Third Year and Class B were relatively well-off, but they had no reason to support a flawed product who was in Class D and had a reputation as a peeping tom.

Therefore, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's funds must have come from faculty and staff.

But after Sakayanagi Arisu walked down this road, it was practically ruined.

Not all teachers specifically accumulate Private Points. The fact that they could extract 20 million yen in transfer fees from this group of people only speaks volumes about Sakayanagi's status.

If it were Ayanokoji, even if he invoked the name of the creator of the White Room, few faculty members would pay him any attention.

However, Aragaki Shun happens to know a female teacher who meticulously saves a lot of Private Points every day, and who also happens to have a close relationship with Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.

"According to Hoshinomiya, Chabashira Sae has already taught two classes of students over six years, which is about 77 months. Her accumulated Private Points may exceed ten million."

"But her ultimate wish is for the school to send her a Joker card so she can get Class D into Class A, so she can't just pay to send Ayanokoji to Class B."

"So, that woman was caught red-handed by her own student, and even her secret stash of money was stolen?"

Having guessed the whole story in his mind, Aragaki Shun was surprised for a moment, then put it out of his mind.

Somewhat unexpectedly, that Masterpiece that defied all comprehension actually began to move.

But for him, this wasn't something he needed to be overly wary of.

After all, there are no other extraordinary powers in this world, and the so-called "man-made geniuses" can only achieve so much.

Given the current situation of the first-year students, the opponent's influence is far less than that of Koenji Rokusuke, so there is no immediate threat.

"So, after losing Ayanokoji, Class D now only has 32 people?"

Aragaki Shun looked at Kushida and Karuizawa with great interest. "The Private Points you earned this month aren't enough to pay off my debts, so the students of Class D asked you to come and discuss the situation with me?"

There are only 40 students in a class. After just one semester, 4 students dropped out of Class D and 4 transferred to other classes, reducing the total number of students by one-fifth.

What bad luck! From now on, there won't be many combatants left for Special Exam, given the already large number of openly available personnel shortages.

"Yes, mainly it's Shinohara Satsuki. She seems to really dislike Ayanokouji, who used to be a friend of Ayanokoji and the Yamauchi. She suggested in class that he pay for the missing Private Points, and if they don't have enough money and break the contract, he should also take responsibility."

"Although some people objected, most students thought it was a good idea, so after class, he disappeared."

"It wasn't until classmates saw each other in Class B's classroom that they realized Ayanokoji had somehow joined Class B."

Kushida Kikyo looked embarrassed, but inwardly she was cursing.

With the total debt remaining constant, for every person missing from the class, the remaining students will have to share more Private Points.

Horikita Suzune has a great older brother who directly helped her get into Class A, which is really annoying.

Damn it, they're all choosing to run away, leaving them with an increasingly heavy mess to deal with!

And what exactly happened with Ayanokoji Kiyotaka?

That bastard was really good at hiding it; where did he get the money to transfer classes?!

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Private Points that Ayanokoji has should have been given to him by Chabashira Sae."

"According to Hoshinomiya-sensei, Chabashira- class teacher has always wanted to be promoted to Class A, so since she started teaching, she has been saving every penny and has accumulated more than ten million Private Points."

After thinking for Aragaki Shun directly stated his guess, and then pointed it out to the two of them:

"You can go and confront that teacher, and ask her what she's really thinking."

Karuizawa Kei: "???"

Kushida Kikyo: "???"

Chabashira-sensei has accumulated over ten million Private Points, with the aim of helping the class advance to Class A?

What language is this? Why can't they understand it at all?

Putting aside Chabashira Sae's savings, since the start of the semester, has that woman made even the slightest move towards Class A?

Isn't she just constantly making sarcastic remarks to the students in Class D and dragging them down in every way? How does she expect to get promoted to Class A?

"Aragaki -kun, you're not kidding, are you?"

"Haha~ That's a really good joke. I'll tell it to the class later, and I think most of them will laugh."

Seeing Kushida Kikyo's tense face and unwillingness to accept reality, Aragaki Shun shrugged and said naturally:

"Unfortunately, I've never had a knack for telling jokes, so everything I've said is true."

"As for why the behavior and goals of the Chabashira instructor don't align... you can ask him directly."

The Leader of Class A said that he really didn't want to speculate too much about the thinking of fools, lest he be accidentally corrupted by their amazing wisdom.

"... So, Chabashira actually wants us to work hard to get into Class A, but he doesn't want to put in any effort at all, and he even puts us down in various ways, deliberately leading the classmates astray?"

Karuizawa Kei was starting to question the meaning of life.

No, is that guy crazy?

"I don't understand either. You guys should go and confront her yourselves, see if you can get the answer out of her."

Shrugging, Aragaki Shun gave his advice and then decided he didn't want to talk about this eccentric woman anymore, so he changed the subject.

"Do you have anything else to do right now? If it's just Ayanokoji transferring classes, an email would suffice. It shouldn't be necessary for you to come all the way here to discuss it with me, right?"

Choked by the boy's blunt words, Karuizawa looked at Shiranami Chihiro, Wang Meiyu, Yamamura Miki, and Ibuki Mio with a hint of resentment.

I know I've interrupted your romance, but in terms of looks, I'm no less attractive than them, so why this differential treatment?

"Actually, it's mainly about the debt," Kushida Kikyo explained cheerfully, already used to it. "We don't have enough Private Points this month, so everyone in the class wants us to ask Aragaki- san if he could be a little more lenient."

"For example, how about we each keep 10,000 Private Points to cover our living expenses this month, and any debts we can't repay will be carried over to the next month, and we can pay them off together once the Class Evaluation Points improves?"

Seeing the brown-haired girl clasp her hands to her chest, deliberately striking a cute pose, Aragaki Shun smiled slightly and directly asked:

Do you think it's possible?

"Ah, well, after all, Class D is now under Aragaki's command, isn't it...?"

"The crux of the matter is that it's still uncertain how much of a role you can actually play."

The Leader of Class A said calmly, "If someone like Yamauchi Haruki or Kanji Ike were to suddenly give the school a huge surprise, I wouldn't dare to get involved with you."

"In short, not a single penny of this month's 1.01 million can be missed. In my eyes, these Private Points are much more reliable than the loyalty of Class D."

Without rules, nothing can be accomplished; Aragaki Shun would certainly not postpone Class D' s debt so easily.

If he really did that, he suspected that the people in Class D would come to him every month complaining about being broke, and then just give up and let the debt keep piling up.

Since I can just postpone it until graduation, once I finish high school, it's practically the same as not having to pay it back at all, right?

Moreover, the problem isn't scarcity but inequality. If the time for Class D is postponed, what about Class C?

"Besides, didn't I give you sufficient compensation during the VIP Exam?"

"Don't tell me you've spent all this money in just two weeks!"

At the meeting to distribute the benefits of the VIP Exam, in order to ensure that the exam would result in the same outcome for everyone, Aragaki Shun promised to give everyone in the three classes A, C, and D 50,000 Private Points each, with the VIP taking away 1 million points directly from the school.

It's only been two weeks since that exam, and to say that the people in Class D spent all 50,000 yuan during the summer vacation...

Hmm... that actually seems quite possible?

But if a semester passes and they continue to spend so extravagantly, then Class D's promise to postpone debt repayment and pay it off later is even less trustworthy.

"I will pay you well for your work, but you also have to repay me in full what you owe me."

"Otherwise, we'll proceed directly with the legal process and renegotiate the contract based on the breach of contract."

"Don't worry, since Class D is still useful, I won't expel them directly. At most, I'll charge you some extra interest."

Kushida Kikyo: "..."

Or, why don't you just designate a jerk you dislike to drop out of school and then erase the debt?

If Ayanokoji hadn't gone to Class B, I believe everyone in the class would have agreed to this condition.

Or rather, even if it weren't Ayanokoji, but another scapegoat, as long as the other person wasn't very popular in the class, the matter would probably still go through.

How annoying! She's one of the three VIP in Class D.

In this situation, wouldn't she have to pay out of her own pocket to make up for the shortfall in the debt?

Seeing Aragaki Shun's unwavering expression, the girl could only grimace as she went back with Karuizawa, hoping that the others in her class would be willing to share the burden.

But she knew that this was most likely just wishful thinking.

After all, Kushida is the angel of Class D, isn't she?

She earned 1 million Private Points in the VIP Exam, while others only had 50,000, so naturally she had to pay the larger share at this point.

Otherwise, the angelic persona would be completely shattered.

Watching the two figures leave, Aragaki Shun could guess the situation Kushida was about to face, but it was the path he had chosen himself, so there was nothing more to say.

Given her status in Class D, and the fact that no one could force her to pay, it was the girl herself who couldn't refuse the requests from those fake friends.

Under these circumstances, Aragaki Shun felt that it was a good thing that Kushida had handed the money over to him.

Otherwise, as time goes by, these 1 million Private Points will eventually be borrowed and spent by the people in Class D.

After silently mocking the three-faced man, Aragaki Shun turned his gaze to the other side, to a tired-looking, yawning, sporty girl with short blue hair sitting on the sofa.

Because of her strong will, Ibuki tried to take the lead at the previous party, but was severely punished by Aragaki Shun and still hasn't recovered.

"Uh~ why are you looking at me like that? You monster, are you still not satisfied?"

Hearing the girl's somewhat panicked words, Aragaki Shun raised an eyebrow, then simply nodded.

"I'm still a bit short, but it's almost time for afternoon classes, so I can continue after school."

Her face paled instantly, Ibuki Mio asked incredulously, "You pervert, are you even human?"

"I'm just a little bit stronger than the average person."

With a couple of light laughs, the man changed the subject, "But that's not the point now. Who's collecting Class C's debts?"

"What happened? Ryuen Kakeru used to collect them, but starting this month, Manabe Shiho said she would handle them. I handed over my share and haven't been paying much attention since."

That makes sense; an athletic girl like Ibuki doesn't really like getting bogged down in trivial matters.

On the contrary, a show-off like Manabe would never miss an opportunity to demonstrate her authority.

"Then when you get back, tell Manabe that Class C's debt doesn't need to be paid off yet, and make sure everyone insists that this is Ryuen Kakeru's order."

He only remembered when he heard that Ayanokoji was transferring to another class that the hidden danger of Ryuen in Class C had not been eliminated.

However, there's really no need to pay too much attention to a tyrant who has lost his claws and teeth.

Aragaki Shun was too lazy to do so much scheming, so he simply had everyone in Class C voluntarily break their contracts and see if he could be kicked out of Advanced Nurturing.

After all, before this month, Ryuen Kakeru was indeed the leader of Class C, so when the class agreement went wrong, he should bear the greatest responsibility.

"Would this make Ryuen expelled?" Ibuki, somewhat puzzled. "But wouldn't the class lose another 300 points?"

"It's okay, I'll split the cost with you. If Ryuen really gets expelled, then 150 points will be counted as debts owed to me."

Stretching, Aragaki Shun stood up and said nonchalantly:

"Those who want to join Class C probably wouldn't mind paying the same price to drive Ryuen out of this school, right?"

238. Does stealing a man really count as stealing?; Rules change for the Sports Festival

The school suddenly issued a notice that the afternoon classes would be changed into two-hour class meetings.

"It's so formal, is it going to be another Special Exam?"

Back in Class A, Aragaki Shun had just sat down in his seat when he heard Himeno Yuki, who sat behind him, suddenly lean over and ask the same question that everyone in the class wanted to ask.

"More or less," Aragaki Shun nodded, but didn't elaborate. "When Hoshinomiya-sensei arrives later, he'll give everyone a detailed explanation."

As the Vice President of the Student Council, Aragaki Shun naturally had access to some information in advance. During the summer vacation, he, along with Manabu Horikita and Miyabi Nagumo, even participated in some of the rule-making.
