Classroom of the Elite: I Can Gain Points Without Limit

"Ayanokoji boy is absolutely right. As long as we perform normally, we can become the second place in the winning group and get at least 450 Class Evaluation Points."

"This is equally significant for Class B. Why would we agree to let Nagumo boy cause trouble for the first-year students for no reason?"

Excluding Ryuen, Class A had 11 more students than Class B, and even Koenji Rokusuke wasn't confident he could take first place from Aragaki Shun.

However, with him and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka present, Class B's overall strength was more than enough to suppress Class C, whose numbers were similar to theirs, and Class D, which was severely injured.

Therefore, based on pure strength, it was almost inevitable that their class would take second place in the winning group.

"But this will only widen the gap between you and Class A." Ryuen Kakeru pointed this out bluntly.

Within the winning group, the top four teams will receive Class Evaluation Points of 600, 450, 300, and 150 respectively.

The other three classes were all under Aragaki Shun's control, and their combined total score was at least 600 points higher than Class B's.

If something unexpected happens, Class B might even lose to Class C in the Sports Festival and fail to get even 450 points.

"This is irrelevant," Koenji, picking up the mirror. He seemed unwilling to talk to Ryuen any longer. "Class B needs most right now is a sufficient amount of Private Points."

"There are still two and a half years to go. What does it matter if we fall behind in Class Evaluation Points for a while!"

In the history of mainland China, there is a strategy for conquering the country called "Build high walls, store up grain, and delay declaring yourself king".

Beautiful Brother felt that this was perfect for the resource-scarce Class B. Only by accumulating sufficient foundation and gradually narrowing the gap with Class A could he gain the qualification to compete with Aragaki Shun in his final year before graduation.

Before that, a brief period of dormancy is necessary; temporary setbacks are not important.

Of course, if a big, fat sheep is willing to provide support and help him shorten the accumulation time, then he wouldn't mind putting on a show and making the fool happy.

Upon hearing this, Katsuragi Kohei nodded secretly.

If they perform to their full potential, Class B can secure at least 450 Class Evaluation Points, which translates to 45,000 Private Points per person per month, enough to further alleviate the class's financial crisis.

Therefore, it seems unnecessary to deliberately aim for last place in the losing group just to close the gap by a small margin, thus losing 100 Class Evaluation Points.

However, he was too naive and, unlike Ryuen Kakeru, failed to detect the ill intent in Koenji's words.

"Heh~ So this guy, he's also eyeing Miyabi Nagumo's wallet, trying to squeeze every last drop of value out of her?"

Having realized this, the red-haired delinquent and the chaebol's only son exchanged a glance, both seeing the deeper meaning in each other's eyes.

Naturally, joining another faction requires a pledge of allegiance.

Now it's his turn, the future pillar of Class B, to find out what the Vice President is really like.

249. A collaboration with ulterior motives; Nagumo wants to fight two opponents at once.

"So that's how it is. Class 1-B is short of Private Points, so they pretended to disagree with this win-win cooperation, but actually they just wanted me to pay more?"

Upon hearing Ryuen Kakeru's report detailing his conversation with Koenji and the others, Miyabi Nagumo quickly understood what the other person meant, and a disdainful sneer appeared on her face.

"The heir to the Koenji Conglomerate is actually struggling with money; it's utterly laughable."

"No wonder the first-year students were Aragaki Shun. They've already fallen to this state, yet the leadership of Class B is still so petty. They're the kind of people who are afraid to risk their lives for great things but will risk everything for small gains."

It seems these guys aren't that great; we can't expect them to cause much damage to Aragaki Shun.

Naturally, Nagumo underestimated several key members of Class 1-B, including Koenji.

As the leader of the second grade, he was used to being high and mighty, so how many people dared to play tricks on him and openly express their desire to take advantage of him?

If it weren't for the upcoming Sports Festival being even more important, as it involved his competition with Aragaki Shun and Manabu Horikita, he really wanted to play around with these juniors as an upperclassman and show them just how he managed the entire second-year class.

"Very well, since my dear juniors are already in such dire straits, I, as their senior, cannot be stingy and should indeed provide some appropriate assistance."

"I will draft a contract that if Class 1-B is willing to come in last place at the Sports Festival, they will receive ten million Private Points from me after the event to compensate for their loss in Class Evaluation Points."

The bet between him and Aragaki Shun was exactly 15 million yen. He had previously funded Ryuen Kakeru with 5 million yen, and the remaining 10 million yen was just enough to win over Class 1-B.

In this way, as long as he wins this Sports Festival, it's equivalent to defeating Aragaki Shun without spending a single penny, and also extending his influence to the first-year students.

As for the consequences if we lose...

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

He had never been defeated since entering the Advanced Nurturing; he was invincible, except for suffering a minor loss against that junior.

But that was just a simple physical contest; how could it compare to a formal class competition?

During this Sports Festival, the entire second-year class was under his command, and he also had pieces in the Third Year and first-year classes. His advantage was so great that it was impossible to imagine how he could lose!

After secretly calculating the chips she controlled, Miyabi Nagumo's lips curled into a smug smile. She then looked at Ryuen Kakeru, who was about to speak, and before he could utter a word, she gave the order:

"By the way, since they took my money, Class 1-B should at least give something in return."

"From today onwards, you will join that class using Transfer Ticket. The required Private Points will be deducted from the ten million I gave them."

In any case, Miyabi Nagumo was not someone who was willing to suffer a loss for nothing.

This Yellow-haired Senior also holds Ryuen Kakeru's debts in his hands, and can expel this not-so-useful pawn from school at any time if he wants.

At that time, Class B, which accepted the other party's offer, will lose at least 300 Class Evaluation Points.

Through this combination of hard and soft tactics, alternating between a big stick and a sweet treat, he was naturally able to gradually gain control over the still somewhat stubborn Class 1-B.

Upon hearing this meaningful instruction, the red-haired scoundrel nearly formed a "#" shape with his brows. Did this bastard really think he was an easy target?!

"... Understood. From now on, I will fight against Aragaki Shun as a member of Class 1-B."

The sound was almost like grinding teeth while squeezing something out.

On the surface, Ryuen Kakeru actually yielded, so Nagumo didn't care at all about his arrogant attitude.

Unruly and rebellious, huh?

The more stubborn, the better. He loves training such interesting subordinates; that's the joy of dog training!

As for whether Class 1-B would agree to his request... Nagumo wasn't worried about that.

This, to some extent, represents a tacit understanding among the three parties and forms the basis of their cooperation.

Unable to stay in Class C, Ryuen Kakeru had no choice but to join Class B; Class B also needed to gather combat power and accumulate Private Points; Miyabi Nagumo was willing to pay, but on the condition that she place her own people in Class B.

So even if he hadn't made this request, Ryuen Kakeru and Class B would have naturally ended up together. The reason he deliberately made his presence known was simply to seize the initiative.

To put it bluntly, if he hadn't known that Ryuen Kakeru had made connections with Class 1-B, he wouldn't have gone to the trouble of getting him protected by the Student Council.

Even considering sunk costs, if it had absolutely no value, the Yellow-haired Senior wouldn't be foolish enough to be a sucker.

From this perspective, Miyabi Nagumo paid for and placed people in the class, Ryuen Kakeru secured a place in Class B, Class 1-B also strengthened its foundation... This cooperation can be described as a win-win situation for all three parties.

As for who will ultimately win and take all, that depends on their respective methods.

"Very well, then let Koenji Rokusuke come and sign autographs in person. I'll wait for him in Class 2-A."

Sitting on the table with her legs crossed, Miyabi Nagumo looked down at the red-haired delinquent in front of her and waved her hand, indicating that he could go and deliver the message.

He couldn't wait to see the blond guy lower his head.

So what if they're from a wealthy and powerful family?

Given fair competition within this school, and facing a system where "true merit reigns supreme," what can he possibly achieve?

Koenji Rokusuke is nothing special and doesn't deserve to be his opponent. The real targets are Aragaki Shun and Horikita President.

In the upcoming Sports Festival, he will suppress both of them simultaneously to prove that he is the strongest of the Advanced Nurturing!

Just imagining that exciting future made this second-year leader incredibly excited...

"A total of ten million Private Points?"

This time, it was in Katsuragi Kohei's dormitory that Koenji Rokusuke Ryuen Kakeru, and he nodded slightly, somewhat reluctantly.

"It's alright, the result is roughly within my expectations."

"For the next five months, the Private Points needed for Ryuen-boy to use the Transfer Ticket will be deducted from this ten million. As for any remaining amount, that depends on whether you can make sufficient contributions to the class during this period."

The implication is that if he can gain the recognition of his classmates through his contributions within these five months, then Koenji will have the students of Class B make up the remaining transfer fees for him.

If that's not possible, then there's nothing we can do but let the other person be sent back to their original class. What will happen to them then depends on Aragaki Shun's decision.

In fact, not only Ryuen Kakeru, but also Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, who transferred to Class B before him, received the exact same treatment.

In this regard, both Koenji and Katsuragi made it clear to them, and regardless of what the two who were transferring classes thought in their hearts, they outwardly expressed their understanding.

After all, Class 1-B was truly destitute. If they wanted to be generous, the whole class had to tighten their belts and pretend to be rich.

Katsuragi Kohei, who manages the class funds, only has hair loss due to alopecia areata; otherwise, facing such immense financial pressure, his hairline would probably be receding quite a bit... Hmm, doesn't that make it even more pathetic?

To put it simply, Class 1-B's current evaluation score is 1658. After Ryuen Kakeru transfers to the class, there will be 38 students. They will also receive 300,000 Private Points from Mashima Tomoya every month, bringing their total monthly income to at least 6.6 million.

This amount of money isn't small by any measure, but the debt to be transferred to Aragaki Shun is as high as 3.4 million yen, and the Transfer Ticket to be paid to Koenji in the next nine months will also require 2 million yen. After deducting the living expenses and some miscellaneous expenses of the classmates, being able to save 400,000 yen a month to go into the class fund is already the result of careful calculation.

"... Currently, the class account has 3.6 million Private Points remaining. If no additional source of funds can be found to improve the class's financial situation in the near future, the class funds saved up will not exceed 6 million in five months."

"At that time, Class B will definitely not be able to withstand the consumption of your two Transfer Ticket. At least one of you will have to be given up in order to barely keep the other one."

Under the instructions of Koenji Rokusuke, Katsuragi Kohei sighed and then explained the financial situation of Class B in detail.

Without a doubt, Class B is already in a dangerous phase of living beyond its means and accumulating huge debts.

Even if they don't suffer major setbacks in the upcoming class competitions and maintain their current Class Evaluation Points, they still won't be able to wait until Ayanokoji and Ryuen Kakeru officially join Class B.

"In other words, we must further increase revenue and reduce expenditure."

Ryuen Kakeru clicked his tongue, his face full of displeasure as he offered his suggestion. "If we cut back on living expenses and miscellaneous fees, Class B could probably save at least 1.2 million yen a month. With so many free items from Advanced Nurturing, even if we didn't spend a single penny, we could still survive, right?"

"... Everyone in the class isn't an ascetic, so ensuring each person has 15,000 yuan a month for living expenses is essential. Otherwise, eating Mountain Vegetable Set Meal and using free items every day will be a huge blow to everyone's morale."

The Baldy was speechless at Ryuen Kakeru's terrible idea.

If we really do as he says, I'm afraid that in less than two months, Class B's fighting spirit will completely dissipate.

After all, even the Class D in the three grades has a monthly allowance of ten or twenty thousand yuan. If the living standards of the Class B are not even as good as those flawed Class D, then I'm afraid not many people will be motivated to continue participating in the class competition.

"Miscellaneous expenses can't be reduced just because you want to. They include buying information, building relationships with upperclassmen, photocopying documents, and even hosting parties. All these miscellaneous expenses add up. I'm only calculating that it's a little over 200,000 yen per month, which is already quite frugal."

"In short, forget about cutting costs; let's find ways to increase our Private Points or Class Evaluation Points."

Putting aside other avenues, if Vice President Nagumo could provide such generous support again, Class B's current predicament would surely be resolved.

"So, after this Sports Festival, Class B's financial situation will worsen further?"

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka suddenly spoke up, casually pointing out a point that Katsuragi hadn't considered. "If we come in last place in the losing group, we'll lose 100 Class Evaluation Points."

Before the Baldy could even worry about it, Koenji Rokusuke suddenly burst out laughing.

"Heh~ Ayanokoji boy, do you really think that Class B takes a passive approach to the competition, the first-year students will become the losers?"

"You know, ever since the rules for the Sports Festival were announced, the three classes led by Aragaki Boys have never approached us on their own initiative."

"You mean to say that Class B wasn't considered part of the same fighting force as Aragaki Shun from the beginning?" Ryuen Kakeru's lips twitched slightly, feeling it was a bit far-fetched, but it also seemed to be that person's style.

"Is he planning to take on four classes at once, using only his three classes to suppress the second and Third Year?"

Feeling he had enough power, he never even considered winning over any unstable elements... This bastard is as arrogant as ever.

"Aragaki- boy is just as beautiful as me. If nothing unexpected happens, even if we do nothing, Class B will still be a member of the winning team in this Sports Festival."

Of course, even if you manage to win by default, you'll still end up in last place, but getting 150 Class Evaluation Points is still a pretty good achievement.

After all, even without cooperating with Nagumo, they could only get a maximum of 450 Class Evaluation Points.

The difference of 300 points, if we abandon Ryuen and calculate based on 37 people, is equivalent to 1.11 million Private Points per month. If this continues until graduation, it will naturally be far better than 10 million Private Points.

The problem is that Class B has lost so many key members to Aragaki Shun, leaving them with very few usable combat forces.

If we don't strengthen the class's foundation, even if we get a lot of Class Evaluation Points this time, we may lose them next time due to Special Exam.

Therefore, he ultimately chose to cooperate with Nagumo, prioritizing obtaining the substantial ten million Private Points first.

As for whether this choice is worthwhile, that's a matter of opinion.

"Haha~ If that's really the final result, won't that bastard Nagumo be crying his eyes out?"

Ryuen Kakeru suddenly laughed gleefully, "My five million, Class B's ten million, plus the fifteen million he lost to Aragaki Shun as a wager, have brought the total to thirty million Private Points."

"After such a crushing defeat, even with his solid foundation as a second-year student, he'll probably be paralyzed from the waist down, right?"

Katsuragi nodded silently. It seemed that as long as Aragaki Shun Miyabi Nagumo were pitted against each other, regardless of who won or lost, Class 1-B would benefit from the situation.

Aragaki Shun won; first graders are in the winning group. Class B gets both ten million Private Points and 150 Class Evaluation Points.

Miyabi Nagumo won, and the first-year students became the losers. Class A will not only lose a lot of evaluation points, but Aragaki Shun will also lose 15 million Private Points.
