Classroom of the Elite: I Can Add Points Without Limit

"This is clearly a case of Senior Nagumo showing consideration for his fellow student by letting a second-year student who wasn't feeling well go back to the dormitory to sleep. It fully embodies the humanistic care of an Advanced Nurturing student. This is exactly the sportsmanship of 'safety first, friendship second, competition third'..."

With a straight face, Aragaki Shun chuckled as he lied through his teeth, then casually offered advice to the two Third Year seniors who had been recruited by Nagumo: "If you seniors are also feeling unwell, don't push yourselves to the limit for the sake of the competition. After all, health is the most important thing."

Hearing these seemingly well-intentioned but actually threatening words, the contestants from Class 3-B and Class C of the third grade broke out in a cold sweat, feeling a chilling pressure wash over them, their bodies stiffening and unable to move.

Only when the referee fired the starting gun, officially commencing the round of the competition, did they seem to wake from a dream and take off running.

But as expected, Aragaki Shun won first place again in the first round of the Hurdle Race.

The remaining two second-year contestants, due to their distraction, saw their rankings drop significantly.

At this point, the balance of power between the first and second grades had shifted.

Meanwhile, in the area of Class 2-A.

At this moment, Miyabi Nagumo's expression had turned ashen, and she exuded a chilling aura.

"Damn it! Kiriyama and Kiryuuin, those two guys actually led Class B to this extent, willing to lose a lot of Class Evaluation Points just to help Aragaki Shun? It's utterly absurd!"

Seeing that his own class and the Class 2-B contestants had disappeared without a trace on the track, how could Nagumo not guess the means behind it?

This shouldn't be happening!

By simply dragging out Class 2-A's absence, although this might cause him trouble, Class 2-B had already forfeited. Such a reckless move would be a Pyrrhic victory, killing eight hundred enemies while losing a thousand of your own. What good would it do them?

He couldn't imagine what conditions Aragaki Shun had promised that would make everyone in Class 2-B willingly become cannon fodder in this self-destructive manner.

It's estimated that the Vice President, looking utterly dejected, won't truly realize this until after the Sports Festival ends and Class 2-B continues their Zero-Point Strategy.

But time doesn't stop according to individual emotions. The second and third rounds of the [Hurdle Race] started one after another, but just like before, not everyone could be on the track.

In addition to the students in Class 2-B being consistently absent, students from Classes A, Class C, and Class D of Class 2-A have also gone missing.

Clearly, Kiryuuin weren't just targeting Class 2-A.

Miyabi Nagumo could no longer tolerate it!

"Go find them! Go find everyone who hasn't had a chance to participate yet! Find all the second-year contestants who are missing!"

Upon hearing this instruction, Mizowaki and Tonokawa, both Student Council Member, exchanged a glance. Although they felt a chill run down their spines, they could only step forward and advise, "Nagumo, those classmates were probably attacked when they were alone. If we send people to look for them now, what if some classmates don't come back?"

They had just checked and found out that those who weren't there had all taken advantage of the 20-minute break to go to the restroom, get a drink or buy snacks, or play on their phones... In short, they left the Gymnasium for various reasons and never came back.

"Sixteen students from Class A are missing, twelve from Class C, and thirteen from Class D. Those people in Class B are absolutely insane; they actually attacked so many students at once."

Nagumo's confidant gritted his teeth. The number of second-year students was already the smallest among the three grades, and after a series of expulsions, only a little over 130 students remained.

Now, in addition to the complete absence of Class B, 41 more students have been taken away by unknown means. In total, the number of students from all three classes present is less than 60.

This strategy of mutual destruction is utterly outrageous!

"The key issue now is no longer just the outcome of the Sports Festival. If Class B continues to act recklessly, all four second-year classes will lose a lot of Class Evaluation Points due to absences."

Hearing the bewildered remarks of his two trusted confidants, Miyabi Nagumo's face grew increasingly grim. His anger, with nowhere to vent, nearly made him explode on the spot.

Now that things have come to this, how could he not understand Aragaki Shun's methods!

But what can you do even if you know?

The second-year students have been completely undermined and have no way to recover in the short term.

Without a doubt, he has already lost!

Just because of one wrong move, there was no way to turn the tide.

260. Third Year are all poor; they watch monkey shows together.

"I've come to inquire whether you two seniors have made up your minds to represent your respective classes and oppose me?"

Upon arriving at the area for Class 3-B and Class 3-C, Aragaki Shun called out the leaders of the two classes and bluntly questioned them.

"???"

That's way too arrogant!

What does it mean to represent your class as an enemy?

Under the watchful eyes of the entire class, the two senior students were stunned to be so looked down upon by a first-year student.

It's important to know that Sakurajima has a particularly strong tradition of seniority culture and emphasizes the principle of "respect for elders and juniors."

According to some unwritten rules in schools, it is normal for senior students to bully junior students at will, and no one around, including the bullied students, would think there is anything wrong with it.

So you, a freshman, actually dare to come and question a senior two years your senior?

Doesn't he have any common sense at all?!

The two senior leaders looked embarrassed and annoyed. One of them was about to put on airs when he was glared at by those cold, sharp eyes. He instinctively took a step back, feeling cold sweat pour down his back.

The two guys, whose minds were steeped in "predecessor culture," suddenly remembered that Advanced Nurturing emphasizes strength above all else, and the monster in front of them had single-handedly defeated all the competitive clubs when he first entered the school, and had become the uncrowned king of the first year in just one semester.

In this school, the only ones who can rival them in status are second-year student Miyabi Nagumo and Third Year Manabu Horikita, not this group of so-called seniors who have been suppressed for two and a half years.

"Aragaki- kun, we don't know what you're talking about." Ishikura from Class 3-B looked annoyed, but still managed to suppress his anger and explained in a low voice, "Third Year and first-year students are not in competition, and there's no such thing as an enemy between us."

"That's right!" the leader of Class 3-C, agreed. "On the sports field, situations can change in an instant, and occasional conflicts are normal, but there's no need to escalate such matters to the level of class rivalry."

"Are you saying that in the [100m Dash] and [Hurdle Race] events, two students from your class deliberately fouled, repeatedly hindering the first-year students' progress, and that it was all a misunderstanding?"

A cold smile played on his lips. Behind Aragaki Shun, the fierce-looking thugs, Kito Hayato, Yamada Albert, and Ishizaki Daichi, glared angrily, as if they wanted to devour these blatant liars alive.

"Aragaki, don't listen to these guys' nonsense. Once could be a misunderstanding, twice could be, but dozens of people in their class broke the rules. How can they call that a misunderstanding?!"

Ishizaki perfectly embodies the character's impulsive and easily angered nature, deliberately striking a pose of rubbing his fists and feet together. His natural performance brings the character's reckless and irritable temperament to life.

Ishikura student in Class 3-B, cursed inwardly, but had no choice but to speak up again, saying, "It's really a misunderstanding. Someone in the class probably misunderstood the class strategy. I'll go and reprimand them later, and I promise nothing like this will happen again."

"Nonsense! Are all the students in Class 3-B blind? How could they get something as simple as class strategy wrong?"

"Hey, junior Ishizaki, please calm down. Coincidences are things we can't control."

"I'm just guessing you're lying, you're just trying to fool me. Why don't you just say '￥%*&...'?"

Seeing that several delinquents from Class C were about to start swearing and arguing with the Third Year students, Aragaki Shun waved his right hand, signaling Ishizaki and the others to step back.

"I'll just believe for now that none of my seniors did it on purpose!"

Several upperclassmen were red-faced and had veins bulging on their necks after being angrily scolded by first-year students, as if they were about to erupt like a volcano.

But the next moment, when they heard Aragaki Shun's slightly disdainful voice, they felt as if they had been doused with cold water, and were forced to regain their rationality under inexplicable pressure.

"But please don't mistake my kindness for weakness. There are only six months left until graduation for Third Year. I urge you all to carefully consider your future plans."

"The competition among you Third Year is none of my business, but if you continue to follow Miyabi Nagumo's instructions and deliberately cause trouble for the first-year students, then I will have no choice but to join forces with Horikita President to rectify the rules and order of the Advanced Nurturing Education School!"

Having said that, Aragaki Shun didn't wait for a response from his seniors. He waved to Ishizaki and Yamada, then turned and left the activity area of Class 3-B and Class C.

After walking several dozen meters away, Ishizaki Daichi saw that the group could no longer hear the sound from here, and finally couldn't help but ask.

"Boss Aragaki, are we just going to leave like this? They haven't even agreed to stop yet."

"I've said everything I needed to say. There's no point in continuing to argue. If these Third Year students aren't willing to behave themselves, then I won't hold back any longer."

Calmly watching the ongoing Hurdle Race, Aragaki Shun didn't dwell too much on the situation of the Third Year.

Ultimately, this group only has six months left in school, and considering that their Private Points were previously traded by Sakayanagi Arisu, they can't extract much value from any of the four classes, so they don't have the potential to be integrated.

His purpose in making this trip is to warn them not to interfere in his conflict with Miyabi Nagumo, and that if they have nothing better to do, they should go and cause trouble for Manabu Horikita's Class A of the Third Year.

This suggestion is entirely beneficial to these students in Class B and Class C; if they can't even accept this with dignity, then there's no point in continuing.

At that point, he'll have no choice but to step in and save them face!

However, the fact that they persisted until the second half of their Third Year and still didn't give up on advancing to Class A suggests that these people wouldn't be so foolish as to provoke a lower-grade leader with whom they had no conflict of interest, right?

And that is indeed the case.

After Aragaki Shun left, the leaders of Class 3-B and Class C in the third year discussed the matter and ultimately decided to give up interfering with the first-year students during the competition.

"What about the deal with Miyabi Nagumo?" someone asked worriedly.

"He's already in dire straits himself, how could he possibly have the time to continue supporting us?"

Ishikura from Class 3-B sighed. He was also a little reluctant to give up the Private Points the other party had promised, but he still needed to figure out what was more important.

"Take a look at the second year. Aragaki Shun used some means to provoke Class 2-B, making them suffer a huge loss of Class Evaluation Points while dragging other classes into absenteeism."

"Of course, this has nothing to do with us for now; it's just a self-inflicted wound within the second year. But what if that junior gets his eye on us, and he gets Class 2-B to turn his attention to us?"

If any player misses a match, 1 point will be deducted from their Class Evaluation Points.

With nearly 40 students in the class, there are a total of 13 projects, with all students participating or being recommended to participate. This easily adds up to two or three hundred points.

They only have six months left, plus about four or five Special Exam during the Sports Festival, to catch up with Class A. They can't afford such a huge loss.

Hearing this, the Third Year students, who had initially been tempted by Nagumo's promises, calmed down.

Indeed, the two Vice President of the Student Council are locked in a fierce battle, each a dominant force in their respective grade. What are the Class 3-B and Class C doing getting involved in this power struggle?

By siding with one side, they risk offending the other. Their target is Class A of the Third Year under Manabu Horikita's control, so there's absolutely no need to make enemies among the lower grades.

Private Points are important, but for Third Year who are now in the final stretch of their academic journey, Class Evaluation Points are more important.

"Actually, this is a good thing for us too."

Seeing that everyone had figured it out, Ishikura, in order to boost morale, brought up some good news. "Aragaki Shun just said that the competition among the Third Year has nothing to do with him, which means that although he is on good terms with Manabu Horikita, they are not in the same camp."

Come to think of it, this Sports Festival is a competition between grades, and the Third Year and the first-year students are rivals.

In any case, the internal strife among the Third Year is beneficial to the first-year students, so Aragaki Shun naturally has no need to stop it.

"In short, our goal remains the same: to drag the Third Year students into the losing group and make Manabu Horikita is in Class A, bear the greatest losses. As for the power struggle between Aragaki Shun Miyabi Nagumo, that's none of our business, and there's no need for us to get involved."

After dealing with Class 3-B and Class C of the third year, there weren't many unexpected events in the rest of the Sports Festival.

Starting with the third project requiring full participation, there was a severe shortage of second-grade students. In the Third Year, only classes Class A and Class D were trying to score points, while the remaining two classes were desperately hindering their nominal teammates.

Although there was a Class B in the first year who was deliberately underperforming, they became the group that preserved their strength the most completely, easily taking the lead in the overall score.

[Pole-Toppling Match (boys only)], [Ball Toss (girls only)], [Gender-Segregated Tug-of-War], [Obstacle Course Race]... the competitions progressed very quickly, and soon we arrived at the seventh event, [Three-legged race].

This was a rare, fun-filled competition at the Sports Festival. Aragaki Shun took to the field as planned, first carrying Shiina Hiyori and sprinting straight to the finish line. Then, as a substitute for Sakayanagi Arisu, he teamed up with Wang Meiyu to sprint again, easily winning first place twice.

After the Three-legged race, the morning session came to an end. The school specially set aside two hours of free time so that teachers and students could have lunch and then go back to their dormitories for a nap or to organize discussions on relevant strategies.

In short, there are still six competition events to be held in the afternoon. Among them, the four recommended events have much higher point values than the events that all students can participate in. If the competition strategy can be adjusted here, the classes that are lagging behind may well become dark horses and make a comeback.

The person Aragaki Shun sent to monitor Class 1-B reported to him that they discovered that Miyabi Nagumo had met with Koenji Rokusuke and Katsuragi Kohei, but they didn't know what they talked about.

It's easy to guess that the other side probably wants to force Class 1-B to use the same tactics as Class 2-B, thus causing the other three first-grade classes to miss the afternoon's match.

However, judging from Nagumo's undisguised anger as he left, the other party's objective had not been achieved.

This is only natural, as Class 1-B still owes Aragaki Shun 3.4 million Private Points every month.

Burdened with huge debts, and with the creditor being the Student Council Vice President, they could face expulsion if they defaulted. They dared not act like Class 2-B, who deliberately wasted Class Evaluation Points through Zero-Point Strategy.

The Yellow-haired Senior was furious. For the first time, he realized that he had been too kind and hadn't put a leash on Class 2-B like Aragaki Shun had, which resulted in him getting bitten hard.

Then, as the Sports Festival continued in the afternoon, the second-year leader realized he had been angry too soon; one terrible thing after another happened in this world.

During the afternoon's competition, the number of absent students in Class 2-A suddenly rose to 30. Then, most of the absent students in Class 2-C and Class D Grade 2 returned, but these two classes started to slack off and had no intention of continuing to score points.

Miyabi Nagumo was almost furious at this scene and immediately called over the representatives of the two classes. Unexpectedly, Kiryuuin Fuuka, Manabu Horikita, and Aragaki Shun also came.

"Hehe~ Don't look at me, I'm just here for the fun." Aragaki Shun said with a smile, "The first-years' victory is a foregone conclusion, so whether the losing group is the second or Third Year doesn't matter to me."

The Yellow-haired Senior had a sour face; he really disliked the other person's attitude of watching a monkey show.

But after this defeat, Nagumo also realized how difficult it was to suppress both Manabu Horikita and Aragaki Shun at the same time.

I was too greedy and arrogant. I should have first defeated the Third Year and Manabu Horikita before turning my attention to the first-year students.

There's no point in regretting it now, so he can only ignore that annoying guy, Aragaki Shun, and deal with the most important matter at hand first.

"Kiryuuin, well done, Class B! You actually pulled this on me!"

Taking a deep breath, Nagumo admitted defeat, "Tell me your conditions. As long as you stop this self-destructive behavior that's causing mutual destruction, everything is negotiable."

"I don't know what you're talking about," Kiryuuin, arms crossed, his face as arrogant as ever. "Let me emphasize, I'm here to have some fun too, so don't waste your time and energy on me."

Miyabi Nagumo: "..."
