Regarding her thinking ability, during the three months she was out of school, the girl reflected on herself and realized that there were many things she simply couldn't understand; otherwise, she wouldn't have done something as foolish as using public opinion to attack Aragaki Shun.

At the time, she probably never imagined that the other party would retaliate so ruthlessly, even to the point of targeting her father, the Board Chairman of the school's board of directors.

This was completely beyond her comprehension. From childhood to adulthood, her father had always been someone who could hold up the sky in her eyes, but she never expected that he would stumble because of her.

At the same time, she couldn't understand why her classmates in Class B were so eager to graduate from Class A, focusing solely on the school's promises and ignoring the mundane things like further education and employment. What was so appealing about them?

Perhaps it was precisely because she lacked empathy that she took these "mediocre people" for granted as pawns, leading to the emergence of the opposing faction led by Katsuragi Kohei, and foreshadowing her later abandonment by everyone in the class, forcing her to leave Class B.

During the three months of forced suspension from school, with nothing to do, Sakayanagi Arisu repeatedly reviewed her experiences since entering school, trying to learn from her failures so that she could grow further and eventually stand in front of that person again.

But she ultimately discovered, with dismay, that this lack of understanding was not so easily resolved.

She does have various ways to access information from different fields, but knowledge from books and the internet is ultimately a barrier. Some things can only be transformed into wisdom through personal experience, which is something she finds difficult to do.

For example, Sakayanagi Arisu still doesn't quite understand what's going on with the people in Class C and Class D, but when it comes to class assignments, her father definitely won't let her go to either of those classes.

In order to prevent the girl from falling into a dangerous situation, she could be said to have lost the right to try and make mistakes from the very beginning, because the cost was too high, and she could easily be tormented by illness, so it would be difficult for her to accumulate experience and grow from it.

"Class A clearly doesn't need me at all, so did Aragaki-kun allow me to transfer here just because of my father's status?"

She took off her beret and placed it in front of her chest. The frail, silver-haired girl's eyes seemed to shimmer as she stared unblinkingly at the man before her, perhaps anticipating some unexpected answer.

Aragaki Shun's lips twitched. He felt that he didn't need to be too sincere now. He only needed to tell a couple of nice lies to easily win the other party over.

However, at this stage, whether from an emotional or rational perspective, such a thing does more harm than good, and there is no need for it at the moment.

So he sat down on the other side of the bench and replied calmly:

"That's normal. If we transfer you to Class A, even if the Board Chairman has been suspended and left the school, a significant portion of the faculty and staff at the Advanced Nurturing will instinctively favor us in their thoughts and actions."

"I don't really need this, but it's better than nothing. The key is to prevent the Board Chairman's faction from developing a negative impression of Class A. As long as we compete fairly, we will definitely not lose."

"You're really frank and direct," Sakayanagi Arisu sighed, placing her beret back on her head, and complained softly, seemingly with some regret, "Couldn't you have been a little more understanding of the delicate feelings of a young girl in the prime of her life?"

"A proper gentleman would offer a few words of comfort at this point... but the fact that Aragaki-kun doesn't want to lie to me seems like a good thing."

Since it was a response that was expected, Sakayanagi Arisu wasn't too surprised, but the lack of any surprise was really discouraging.

Was I too awful back then?

But in the end, the only ones who got hurt were myself, my father, and the people in Class B.

Aragaki-kun's counterattack came too quickly and fiercely, and his own offensive was completely crushed before it could even begin. He left no record of victory except to make a fool of himself.

Feeling somewhat melancholy, this young lady from a privileged background was momentarily at a loss for what to do next.

After all, everyone in the class was working hard for the Sports Festival next month, but he could only watch silently from the edge of the playground, unable to participate at all.

Feeling restless and restless, I couldn't resist giving Aragaki-kun a subtle hint, but it seems I was rejected without hesitation.

A hint of sadness flashed in Sakayanagi Arisu's eyes. Even though she already knew the answer, the girl couldn't help but harbor some expectation in her heart.

Because Aragaki -kun is actually quite lecherous; in just one semester, he already has four girlfriends. And as for himself, judging solely on looks and cuteness, he's probably the cutest in the whole school, right?

And look at his four current girlfriends; someone as petite as herself should have the upper hand compared to those shameless babes...

Aragaki Shun couldn't hear the slander in Sakayanagi's heart, but with his talent and experience, he was still able to sense that the other party's thoughts were not well hidden.

To be honest, because of that rumor-mongering incident, he didn't really trust Sakayanagi Arisu's character.

As for lust at first sight... the problem is, you can look but not act.

His gaze drifted subtly to his Personal Panel, visible only to him. With the arrival of the new month, his Source Power had become even more abundant.

[Due to prolonged influence, the Source Power automatically acquired this month was 6.]

[Achievement Completed: Turning Enemies into Friends, Transferring Wang Meiyu / Sakayanagi Arisu / Kamuro Masumi... a total of seven students to Class A, Source Power +2 x 7 = 14.]

[Achievement Completed: A Dog Without a Home, expelling Ayanokoji Kiyotaka and Ryuen Kakeru from their original class, Source Power +3 + 1 = 4.]

[Achievement Completed: Unify Rules and Regulations, standardizing the rules and regulations of Class 1-A, Class C, and Class D in Grade 1. Source Power +4.]

[Source Power: 22→50 (Current efficiency: 6 items per month)]

To put it bluntly, accumulating 50 units of Source Power at once was almost the most he had ever had in recent years.

Aside from last month's surplus, the majority of the gains came from the new students who joined Class A. While each of them contributed relatively little Source Power, the seven students who transferred directly to the class gave them a significant numerical advantage.

The section on "unified system" doesn't need much discussion; the last section, "a homeless dog," seems more interesting.

Despite having the same result, the Source Power gained from Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was three times that of Ryuen Kakeru.

Indeed, the White Room's Masterpiece is its uniqueness.

This individual, who has garnered significant attention from Sakurajima's upper echelons and serves as a potential experimental subject for a certain political faction, may well become a highly desirable target for exploitation.

Putting this thought aside, Aragaki Shun looked at Sakayanagi Arisu beside him.

With so much Source Power at his disposal, if he really had a plan, he could actually cure the other party's congenital heart disease.

Do you even know what a miracle is?!

But why did he do that?

With this question posed to himself, the young man's gaze remained calm as he unhesitatingly invested the abundant resources into the corresponding enhancements.

In an instant, the data on the panel in front of me flashed twice and immediately became completely new.

[Name: Aragaki Shun

Strength: 12 → 17

Physical fitness: 12→17

Agility: 12 → 17

Spirit: 13→18

Skills: Combat lv.4 (3/5), Writing lv.4 (2/5), Erudition lv.4 (3/5), Abnormal Neglect lv.5 (0/10), Miscellaneous

Talents: Danger Sense lv.5 (0/10), Immunity to Poison lv.5 (0/10), Immunity to Disease lv.5 (0/10), Turn Misfortune into Good Fortune lv.5 (0/10), Gluttony lv.5 (0/10), Sun Kin lv.5 (0/10)

Pending condensation: None

Optional Quest: Inheritance and Procreation - Offer your blessings for the birth of a true genius in this world.

Source Power: 50 → 10 (Current efficiency: 6 per month)

Divide the 40 Source Power into 4 parts and invest them into the four basic attributes respectively.

As the invisible energy flowed within him, Aragaki Shun could feel a sense of satisfaction surging from all parts of his body, as if his life level was gradually being sublimated, and a quality that did not belong to this world was about to break out of his mortal body.

Just by slightly stretching out his ten fingers, he could feel his physical strength increasing wildly, exploding, and surging, surpassing his previous peak state in a short time, and surging forward to challenge the strongest creature on the earth.

According to the previously discovered pattern, among the four basic attribute values, the Strength attribute, after reaching 11, can generate about half a ton of strength when going all out. After that, each point of enhancement can add at least another half ton on this basis, and the increase is greater as time goes on.

Currently, his strength attribute is as high as 17, and the force of his punch alone is over 4 tons. If he gathers solar energy and reaches his peak state, it can be further enhanced to at least 5 tons, which is not far from being able to lift the Ruyi Jingu Bang.

Enjoying this instinctive pleasure brought about by evolution, Aragaki Shun was so comfortable that he almost let out a soft moan.

She's just a little girl Sakayanagi; how could she possibly shake his determination to become stronger?

There wasn't much affection between the two. Even if the young man was fond of beautiful women, he wasn't so blinded by lust.

From beginning to end, Aragaki Shun knew that his foundation lay solely in his Source Power.

If he were to enter the Transcendent Realm in the future and automatically acquire healing skills when his supernatural powers arise, then he wouldn't mind helping out with this simple favor.

But let's forget about directly investing Source Power now!

Paying such a high price just to spend a night with a sickly, frail girl who wasn't even someone I used to get along with?

Unless he's out of his mind, absolutely impossible!

Ultimately, beauty is just a hobby; if he wanted to, he could easily invite the girls in his class to a party anytime.

In the outside world, a single wisp of Source Power is worth billions or even trillions of dollars. You could have any girl you wanted. Why delay your ascension to the extraordinary realm for someone so insignificant?

In conclusion, despite Sakayanagi Arisu's hints, the boy ultimately chose to ignore them and rationally persisted in pursuing his own goals.

After all, if he responded to her, this silver-haired little girl would probably cling to him eagerly, and given his temper, he really wouldn't be able to stand by and watch his little girlfriend suffer from illness.

"If you really feel like you have nothing to do and want to make a difference, could you please take some people to investigate the information about the second and Third Year?"

After the enhancement was completed, seeing that Sakayanagi Arisu looked somewhat dazed, Aragaki Shun and simply gave her a task to pass the time.

"This Sports Festival demands high levels of skill from each class, but due to the unique reward and punishment system, strategic alliances between the three grades are also crucial."

"If you have time, keep an eye on the older students' activities, paying special attention to Class 2-A and Class 2-B second year, where Miyabi Nagumo is."

To be honest, he originally wanted to handle this matter personally.

After all, Miyabi Nagumo had already extended her influence to the first-year students, so he had to repay her in some way.

However, since Sakayanagi Arisu she's almost depressed, letting her go won't make a difference.

Given the girl's special status as Advanced Nurturing young woman, the faculty members were generally willing to do her a favor, so it wouldn't be difficult for her to gather information.

"Ah? Oh... I understand, I'll do it."

Hearing the sound, the silver-haired girl finally came to her senses, her face turning bright red.

For some reason, Aragaki-kun suddenly became incredibly attractive, and she almost couldn't resist him.

Hateful!

Am I one of those people who are hopelessly in love?

252. The Archangel's Initiative; Does Nagumo have enough points left?

Before Sakayanagi Arisu could figure out if she was the legendary love-struck fool, a certain Archangel with long pink hair reaching her waist couldn't help but run over when she saw Aragaki Shun sitting on the bench.

Of course, Ichinose's stated reason was to take care of the lonely little princess, since she was the only one in Class A who couldn't participate in the physical education test.

As the class vice-president, she is responsible for organizing daily class activities, coordinating friendly relationships among classmates, and also looking after the girls. Therefore, she naturally has a responsibility to help Sakayanagi Arisu integrate into the group atmosphere of Class A as soon as possible.

"Aragaki-kun, Classmate Sakayanagi, are you two whispering here? You wouldn't mind if I joined you, would you?"

He first greeted her jokingly, and after Aragaki Shun nodded, Ichinose Honami clasped her hands together and said apologetically to the silver-haired girl:

"Everyone seems to have been so focused on training that they've neglected Classmate Sakayanagi for a moment. I apologize; it's my fault for not doing my job properly. But everyone in the class is very friendly, and they absolutely did not mean to exclude Classmate Sakayanagi."

That's the truth, but only half the story.

To be honest, Ichinose knew that, under the class president's will, the members of Class A would at most not deliberately exclude Sakayanagi or maliciously isolate him, but that was the limit.

Beyond these two points, it's certainly impossible to expect everyone to express closeness to Sakayanagi Arisu any reservations, or to communicate with her as proactively and enthusiastically as they would with classmates.

After all, the rumors from last semester were still fresh in everyone's mind. The first target of their attack was Aragaki Shun, who had led them to victory after victory. It was normal for the students in Class A to Sakayanagi Arisu at the beginning.

As for the students who later transferred to Class A... Wang Meiyu and Shiina Hiyori need to intensify their training to prepare for next month's Sports Festival. Moreover, they both have close relationships with Aragaki Shun, so naturally they don't Sakayanagi Arisu.

Horikita Suzune, on the other hand, is the kind of student who is extremely self-disciplined and studies for more than ten hours every day in order not to fall behind others in her grades.

She absolutely refused to let her classmates down during the Special Exam, so she devoted herself wholeheartedly to training for various events in preparation for the Sports Festival.

Or rather, even if she hadn't teamed up with Himeno Yuki and still had some free time, given this bookworm's emotional intelligence, there's little chance she would take the initiative to talk to Sakayanagi.

In the end, only four students remained: those who had transferred from Class B to Class A along with Sakayanagi Arisu. However, to some extent, Yamamura Miki and Kamuro Masumi had betrayed this former leader of Class B, so they were too embarrassed to approach him again.

As a result, the daughter of the Board Chairman the board of directors of Advanced Nurturing was Matoba for a time after transferring to the new class.

Of course, Sakayanagi Arisu had anticipated this scene during the months she was out of school, and now that she was experiencing it firsthand, she didn't see anything wrong with it.

So, can you go play by yourself, you pink fat lady?

I'm having a perfectly fine conversation with Aragaki-kun; I don't need your hypocritical greetings.

Don't think I can't see that you fat woman's eyes aren't on me at all!

"I understand. Everyone in the class wants to contribute to the Sports Festival, and it's absolutely the right thing to dedicate themselves to training right now."

"Besides, Aragaki-kun gave me the task of gathering information on upperclassmen to keep me from getting bored, so Ichinose doesn't need to apologize to me specifically."

Faced with Sakayanagi Arisu gaze, Ichinose, knowing that her true intentions were not Ichinose seemed, instinctively felt a little guilty.

Why did she suddenly start ignoring Classmate Sakayanagi?

As expected, it's because of the impression they had of each other—they always had that aloof and domineering demeanor that left no room for anyone to care.

Furthermore, Ichinose vaguely understood that she wasn't the kind of angel who treated everyone equally; the pink-haired girl also had her own little thoughts.

She may still harbor some resentment towards Aragaki Shun Sakayanagi Arisu, though she hasn't shown it yet.

In contrast, she would probably forgive someone who directly attacked Ichinose herself.

"Oh, so Aragaki-kun was working on a strategy for the Sports Festival with Classmate Sakayanagi?"
