Chapter 176

Despite their extreme poverty, they were still forced by Ryuen Kakeru to each hand over 3,000 Private Points as protection money for that month.

The class's evaluation scores improved, and the tyrant, in order to repay his debts, distributed all the outstanding debts among them under the guise of collecting more protection fees.

At that time, all the students in Class C were still angry but dared not speak out, and had no expectation that the other party would return the money.

Now that Aragaki Shun has at least helped them reclaim some of their assets, and seeing Ryuen Kakeru's disheveled state, everyone in the classroom is truly satisfied.

"One million! Besides Ryuen, there are 38 other students in the class. Even if it's divided equally, each person would get more than 20,000."

"Indeed, it's like getting an extra month's living expenses out of nowhere without doing anything. That's fantastic!"

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you take it all, as long as you can keep that guy Ryuen in check and prevent him from causing any more trouble."

The students in Class C were all discussing this, most of them excitedly calculating their share, while others didn't care about the money and were only thinking about how to kick the tyrant while he was down, worried that the tyrant would find an opportunity to rise again.

"Don't worry, Ryuen can no longer interfere with Class C."

Upon seeing this, Aragaki Shun first made a guarantee, then produced a contract and had everyone in the classroom sign it. "Mr. Sakagami, representing the school, will witness that everyone in Class C signs a written statement confirming that this allocation method is agreed upon by everyone in Class C."

He wasn't like Ryuen, a thug who liked to force his classmates to pay protection money. This kind of gray income, which didn't go through any proper procedures, could only be described as consensual, but in reality, it was completely illicit.

Just like this time, all Class C needs to do is collect the records of past transfers to Ryuen, and then accuse him of extortion, making it difficult for this tyrant to deny it.

After all, this so-called protection fee was indeed obtained through threats and intimidation. The other party couldn't explain why, for no reason, each member of Class C had to transfer a large sum of Private Points to him every month.

In Class A, class fees are collected through a separate dedicated account opened in the name of the class. The relevant rules and uses are clearly stated in the regulations and have been notarized by the school, so there is naturally no such hidden danger.

Therefore, Aragaki Shun also needs to go through some procedures to legally and legitimately receive most of the 5 million yen compensation; otherwise, it would be extremely embarrassing if his competitors used the same tactics against him.

After everyone in Class C had signed the contract, the Leader of Class A gave a look to Kanzaki Ryuji. This man, who was considered very aloof by those in other classes, immediately took out documents from the file folder and asked Ibuki Mio and the others to distribute them to all the members of Class C.

"Could this be...?"

Kaneda Satoru pushed up his glasses, flipping through the documents with some surprise, finally looking at Aragaki Shun with a puzzled expression, "Class A's rules and regulations?"

"To be precise, it's a revised version of the Class A rules. To adapt to the actual situations of Classes Class C and Class D, I discussed it with the students and deleted and modified some parts."

Aragaki Shun placed his hands on the podium and explained calmly.

"Normally, for the school to notarize the rules and regulations of a class, the consent of everyone in the class is required."

But it's obvious that as long as Ryuen Kakeru is still in Class C, he won't accept any rules that are detrimental to him.

"Therefore, in this breach of contract incident, I did not request any other compensation such as penalty interest. I only applied to renegotiate the relevant contract with Class C. In this process, as long as the conditions are reasonable and compliant, Ryuen Kakeru cannot object without reason."

"Reasonable and compliant?" Manabe Shiho murmured the word, feeling as if her not-so-bright brain was about to overheat.

"Simply put, you can't overstep the rules of Advanced Nurturing, you have to gain the approval of everyone in Class C except for Ryuen, and you also have to go through the Student Council's review... In short, the restrictions are quite significant."

Seeing that most of the students in Class C still didn't quite understand, Aragaki Shun could only give the conclusion directly, "In short, all you need to know is that Class C can now ignore Ryuen Kakeru's opinion, and the rest of you can work together to establish the class rules."

In reality, for a typical class-based agreement, as long as 90% of the students agree, it's fine. Therefore, one person's objection is insignificant.

However, class rules are a bit special; they require everyone's signatures before the school is willing to notarize them.

Previously, Class B, Class C, and Class D did not have similar rules and regulations because of the spokespersons planted by Aragaki Shun, which prevented each class from reaching a consensus.

He deliberately set a trap to temporarily deprive Ryuen Kakeru of his right to refute this matter, in order to establish the rules first.

In this way, if the other student tries to do something that harms the overall interests of Class C by skipping class, the other students can vote to expel them from school based on the disciplinary measures stipulated in the class rules.

"So this is how they restrict Ryuen's actions?"

Kaneda Satoru suddenly realized something, and then he carefully reviewed the rules and regulations on the document again.

Overall, these rules are not significantly different from the five class rules of Class A.

It should be said that the other four rules are almost identical, except for the second rule concerning class funds. Since Class C is currently heavily in debt, Aragaki Shun did not formulate any specific rules, but instead let them save money according to their actual situation.

Manabe Shiho's main focus was on the first point—

Once the class leader makes a decision, class members can discuss it before the exam and question it after the exam, but it is absolutely forbidden to deliberately disobey during the exam and harm the interests of the class.

Once discovered, the first offense will result in a deduction of Private Points; the second offense will result in the loss of class protection rights; and the third offense will result in expulsion as a traitor.

If things really go as described above, as Aragaki Shun's representative in Class C, my power and prestige will surely increase further, which is truly something to look forward to.

As for the reward items in Article 3 and the punishment items in Article 4, they are somewhat complicated for a girl who is not very bright, and it is difficult for her to understand them completely in a short time.

But she knew that if someone like Ryuen made a mistake and caused a lot of losses to Class C, she could join forces with the other students to hold them accountable, and even apply to the school for expulsion arbitration.

Just thinking about it makes me feel so powerful; I really should stick close to Aragaki-kun.

As for Sakagami Kazuma, the homeroom teacher of Class C, as a notary representing the school, he naturally had the right to review these rules and regulations.

He looked at the bottom of the document, which clearly stated that the two leaders of Class C were Ibuki Mio and Manabe Shiho, and his lips trembled involuntarily.

The key point is that there is a detailed rule that if Class C wants to change its leader in the future, the entire class must vote in the presence of Aragaki Shun.

"It's over, there's absolutely no hope for this year..."

The moment the thought crossed the mind of Class C's homeroom teacher, a bitter expression appeared on her face.

Ultimately, isn't this a fact that was already established long ago?

There was nothing he could do but watch helplessly as the students of Class C, after understanding the situation, signed their names on the document without much hesitation.

Once everyone's names were complete, Aragaki Shun transferred 100,000 Private Points to the school for notarization fees, and the regulations were then considered truly effective.

"Congratulations, Aragaki -kun," Sakagami Kazuma sighed wearily, "From now on, Class C will be completely under your control."

"If nothing unexpected happens, Class D will probably end up the same way."

In just six months, he was able to become the leader of three classes simultaneously according to the rules. How could such an outrageous student appear in this year's class!

What Sakagami Kazuma couldn't understand even more was--

Damn it, are those teachers who divide students into classes blind?!

From second-year student Miyabi Nagumo to first-year student Aragaki Shun, these are the two consecutive years that have produced such formidable individuals who have unified the entire grade, and yet, all of them were initially assigned to Class B.

If you're really blind, couldn't you be even blinder and just put them in Class C?

Twice, Class B got the advantage. What must Class A think? Can't we, Class C, even be given a chance?!

Sensing Sakagami Kazuma's barely concealed resentment, Aragaki Shun smiled without saying a word, simply gesturing to Kanzaki and Hiyori before heading towards Class D's classroom.

As the other side said, Class C has completely surrendered, so Class D naturally cannot be let go either.

In this way, he could openly and directly obtain the highest leadership position in all three classes.

Hmm~ There are 12 classes in the whole school, so only a quarter of the total is still a bit low.

During the Warring States period, there was a strategist named Su Qin who wore the seals of prime minister of six states.

Aragaki Shun doesn't have high expectations, so let's set our sights on six classes for now.

247. Temporarily Avoiding the Sharp Edge; Nagumo and Koenji, Who Are Staring at Each Other

On this very day, except for Class B, the rules and regulations for the first grade were unified.

For Class C and Class D, any changes to their leadership or amendments to their class rules will require a vote by all members of the class, witnessed by Aragaki Shun.

Therefore, it was only natural that Ryuen Kakeru could not accept the current situation in Class C and had no choice but to transfer to another class immediately.

If he didn't run away soon, he would be bound by the layers of rules set by that man, and would only be able to choose between dropping out of school and becoming a dog.

The problem is, he doesn't want to choose either of them.

Therefore, he had no choice but to abandon everything and transfer to Class B that was still resisting, in order to accumulate strength and make a comeback.

Of course, this path is not easy to walk.

After all, transferring classes requires a lot of Private Points, and Class B is now Koenji Rokusuke's territory. If Ryuen Kakeru wants to join, he will inevitably have to bow down to him.

This was an utter disgrace for the arrogant tyrant, more painful than being beaten and kicked after losing a fight in the past.

But so what!

Whether it's failure or humiliation, these are things that Ryuen Kakeru, who has no fear, has experienced countless times before.

It's just a matter of temporarily yielding and avoiding confrontation.

Sooner or later, he will tell everyone that he will take back what he once lost!

"In other words, the systems for Class A, Class C, and Class D are now unified, and outsiders have absolutely no room to interfere?"

The students from Class B were summoned to a private room in the coffee shop by Ryuen Kakeru, who explained his battle of wits with Aragaki Shun, detailing everything from the Student Council to Class C.

Katsuragi Kohei sensed something was terribly wrong. If even Ryuen Kakeru had been expelled from Class C, wouldn't those two lower-ranked classes have absolutely no chance of competing?

"That's right. Class A is now Aragaki Shun's base. The leadership of Classes Class C and Class D also need to gain that person's approval. The remaining ordinary students are hoping to latch onto him so they can get promoted to Class A or earn more living expenses."

The tyrant, now a defeated dog, sighed, knowing that the situation for the first-year students was extremely difficult, and the chances of Class B making a comeback were becoming increasingly slim.

"The rules and regulations of Class C and Class D are now fully aligned with those of Class A. That person can even identify the bad apples in both classes who deliberately harm the interests of their class, apply to the school for expulsion arbitration, and have the whole class vote to hold them accountable."

In other words, if Ryuen Kakeru wants to stay in Class C, he will indeed be expelled from school.

Although this power has significant limitations, requiring the Advanced Nurturing to provide substantial evidence demonstrating that the other party intentionally harmed the class's interests and caused serious damage, in order for the school to recognize such expulsion arbitration.

However, Ryuen was still somewhat aware of his image in the eyes of the faculty and staff, a reputation he had built up by causing trouble everywhere when he first enrolled.

Putting everything else aside, I skipped four classes this morning, which cost Class C at least several dozen points in the Class Evaluation Points. This is clearly an act of deliberately harming the interests of the class.

Of course, this incident alone is not enough to make him drop out of school.

However, according to the rules and regulations recently established by Class C, it is reasonable to hold him accountable and make him compensate for the equivalent of the Class Evaluation Points in Private Points.

He had just swindled 4 million yen from Miyabi Nagumo, and before he could even enjoy it, it was snatched away by Aragaki Shun. He didn't have enough funds to fill the hole right now.

Therefore, the only option is to find a way to escape to Class B.

"The law does not apply retroactively. When I committed those crimes, the rules and regulations for Class C had not yet been established, which is why I was able to transfer directly to Class B."

"But it will be virtually impossible to plant a spy in Class C to cause sabotage from within."

"Leaving aside whether Class B has that appeal, the key issue is that if these traitors are discovered, they are very likely to be voted out of school by the entire class. This price is far too harsh for ordinary students."

After hearing the information brought by Ryuen, Katsuragi Kohei, Koenji Rokusuke, and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, who were present, all fell into deep thought.

After transferring to Class B, White Room Masterpiece realized that his hiding was no longer meaningful, so he began to gradually show his presence and release some of his strength.

"I have an idea. Could we first recruit someone from Class C or Class D, then instruct them to complete a task, and immediately use Transfer Ticket to bring them into Class B?"

"In this way, he can leave his original class before Aragaki Shun initiates a class-wide vote. Will his application for expulsion arbitration still be valid for students in other classes?"

You cause trouble in class, then transfer your Private Points and run off outside the class, right?

Upon hearing Ayanokoji's question, everyone immediately understood his line of thinking.

But soon, Koenji Rokusuke shook his head.

"Ayanokoji boy, your idea is far too simplistic."

"There are indeed many cases in society where people evade legal punishment by going abroad, but there must be a prerequisite for this: the relationships between different countries are complex and their systems are different."

"Even though the four Advanced Nurturing classes have their own unique rules and regulations, they still need to be governed by the school rules. Above the classes are the Student Council and the school administration, two official bodies. However, changing classes does not mean you can escape punishment from the school administration."

In other words, the losses that should be compensated still need to be compensated after the class transfer, because in essence, it is a ruling from the Student Council and the school, and the original class has only submitted the relevant application.

From this perspective, the normal act of cultivating traitors to cause sabotage is truly a losing proposition, and the resulting losses will ultimately be transferred to the Class B behind the scenes.

Koenji tidied his appearance, holding a mirror in his hand, he felt a sense of bewilderment. Could the so -Masterpiece of the White Room really be so ignorant of such basic common sense?

Of course, if the value of the mole itself could reach or even exceed 40 million Private Points, then he would still be somewhat interested.

After all, in Advanced Nurturing, the most severe punishment is expulsion, which can be completely offset by 20 million.

Adding the 20 million for permanent class transfers, it would only be meaningful for a class to win over the other side if the spies they develop could have a decisive effect, causing Class A losses of over 40 million.

Then the question arises: given Class B's current situation, how long would it take to accumulate 40 million Private Points?

Thinking of this somewhat exaggerated number for the class, Koenji Rokusuke could only temporarily put aside this idea and focus on strengthening the foundation of Class B.

"According to what Ryuen-boy said before, the Student Council ordered you to pay five million Private Points to Class C. Do you still have enough funds to transfer to another class?"

Gazing intently at the former leader of Class C, Koenji thought about the upcoming Sports Festival and considered the second-year representative's thoughts, already having made a plan in mind.

"Our previous agreement was that as long as Class C's deducted evaluation points exceeded 200, we would provide you with 2 million Private Points as compensation for this operation."

But it's clear now that Ryuen Kakeru didn't complete the task. He was kicked out of his original class by Aragaki Shun after only missing four classes, and the loss he caused was probably less than thirty points.

To expect Class B to provide funding for a transfer to another class with such a negligible achievement... that's really difficult!

"Hmph!"
