My Classroom of the Elite: I Can Gain Points Without Limit, Chapter 192

At first, she feigned disappointment, but soon, the White-haired Senior regained her usual arrogance, meeting Aragaki Shun's gaze with a playful look.

"But your rivalry with Miyabi Nagumo seems quite interesting. Do you think I should get involved?"

"Wait, Kiryuuin, what exactly are you trying to do?!"

Before Aragaki Shun could respond, Kiriyama Ikuto, who was in the same class as him, immediately questioned him.

It's one thing if you don't want to contribute to the class, but now that you finally have someone to rely on, are you deliberately trying to cause trouble?

The other students in Class 2-B also frowned. They had finally seen hope of graduating from Class A, and they couldn't let this capricious guy ruin their good situation.

Despite the hostile gazes from his classmates, Kiryuuin didn't even glance at them, continuing to stare at Aragaki Shun with interest.

As someone of the same kind, she could completely understand Koenji Rokusuke's actions and knew why he suddenly joined Class 1-B and began participating in the class competition.

Ultimately, Miyabi Nagumo is not on the same level as them at all, and there is no point in competing with her regardless of winning or losing.

But Aragaki Shun is different. As a member of the same upper-class generation and an heir to a conglomerate, Koenji naturally cannot easily admit defeat to another powerful young man. This is not only because of their own pride, but also because of the face of their respective factions.

On the other hand, for Koenji, if Aragaki Shun were to completely unite the first-year students, then a single word from him could decide his fate.

What if this guy suddenly had a crazy idea and wanted to Koenji Rokusuke by kicking him out of Advanced Nurturing? Wouldn't he be in a really awkward situation?

Now, Kiryuuin Fuuka, so she's hesitating whether to muster the energy to join the game.

Aragaki Shun, of course, didn't care.

"Whatever you want, other people's opinions are none of my business. If there are obstacles, just remove them!"

After saying this, Aragaki Shun ignored the other person's thoughts and led Kanzaki and the others away from the second-year area.

"Hehe~ He really is the kind of man I like. It would be great if I could repeat a year. What a pity."

After making this remark, Kiryuuin shook his head, completely ignoring his classmates, and left the playground on his own.

Considering that Class 2-A had the annoying Miyabi Nagumo, and Class 2-B only obeyed Aragaki Shun's orders, and the other two classes were simply useless, the girl finally gave up the idea of learning from Koenji to have fun.

After all, competition between different grades is inherently limited, so it's impossible to have fun under such circumstances.

Seeing this, Kiriyama and the other students from Class B looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally decided to pack their things first before going to the first-year students' side to attend the celebration banquet.

In any case, clinging to powerful figures is the most important course of action for the class at this stage.

Class 2-C: "..."

Class 2-D: "..."

The last two classes remained silent.

I feel like the competition in the second year will be a battle of gods, and no one will be easy to mess with.

So here's the question: Class A has Miyabi Nagumo behind them, and Class B has Aragaki Shun behind them. What will become of these two lower-ranked classes, who have no one to rely on?

The former has home-field advantage, while the latter has a record of dominating the former. No matter which side you choose, there's no guarantee of success.

Not to mention, if the snipe and the clam fight, they might very well profit from it.

Why don't you just go and study at Manabu Horikita?

Putting aside whether the other party would even be interested in them, the entire Third Year will be graduating in half a year.

This is really a headache; it makes me feel like the future of our class is bleak.

266. The difference between people is greater than the difference between people and dogs.

After tidying up the various chores on the playground, the class held a celebration banquet as usual to celebrate the victory of all first-year students in the Sports Festival.

Naturally, these kinds of activities have always been organized by Ichinose Honami and her small team.

Unlike previous celebrations, this victory banquet specially invited students from Class 1-C and Class D classes, and even Class 2-B. Because of the large number of participants, everyone decided to book an entire floor of the restaurant to fully enjoy the joy of victory.

Evening arrived quickly, and by the time Aragaki Shun arrived to gather, many first- and second-year students were already singing and celebrating.

The speakers in the corner played upbeat banquet music on a loop, the drumbeats bouncing in the air. Some students, unable to hide their smiles, instinctively started dancing, making the atmosphere even more lively.

Around the perimeter of the building, there were more than a dozen large tables, each laden with various specialty dishes, drinks, and snacks.

The most eye-catching spot was the long table in the center, where mouthwatering roasted meat was laid out. A drop of oil accidentally fell into the charcoal fire, and the flames immediately leaped up half a foot, making everyone's face glow red.

Seeing this, Aragaki Shun didn't put on airs and easily joined in the celebration with the members of the four classes, making them extremely happy, each shouting louder than the last.

Of course, there were also students who weren't used to this kind of atmosphere.

For example, Horikita Suzune was originally standing in the corner with her arms crossed, as if she were guarding some strategic location.

Also, Sakayanagi Arisu, who is physically weak and cannot Gluttony or get too excited.

However, it wasn't Aragaki Shun to worry about them. With popular people Ichinose Honami and Kushida Kikyo who could get along with anyone, someone quickly went to resolve these minor flaws.

As time went on, the celebration banquet became increasingly lively.

At least at this moment, whether it's the three first-grade classes or the Class 2-B, everyone has a preliminary understanding of each other, which is the foundation for future tacit cooperation.

After the celebration banquet ended, the students from different classes gradually dispersed, but Aragaki Shun did not leave immediately. Instead, he took Kanzaki Ryuji and Ichinose to a private room on the upper floor of the restaurant.

Several figures were already sitting around the coffee table, waiting. They were Kiriyama Ikuto and two other key members of Class 2-B.

Of course, Kiryuuin Fuuka wasn't there. She only decided to target Miyabi Nagumo's Class 2-A because she owed Aragaki Shun a favor, not because she was genuinely interested in the class competition.

"As I mentioned before, after the celebration banquet, I want to talk to you about the in-depth cooperation between the classes."

Sitting on the opposite sofa, the Leader of Class A didn't beat around the bush, but directly stated his thoughts—

"The factors that can prompt cooperation between different groups are either a common enemy or a common interest."

"We all want to deal with Miyabi Nagumo, which is the basis for the cooperation between the first-year and Class 2-B, but that alone is definitely not enough, because the strength of the two sides is not equal, and the effort and reward are completely inconsistent."

Looking down at the group with an air of superiority, Aragaki Shun's words were anything but polite, but Kiriyama Ikuto and the others exchanged glances, unable to find any way to refute him.

On the other side were the first-year representatives who had unified the entire grade, while they were like stray dogs whose Class A positions had been taken away by Miyabi Nagumo. The strength of the two sides was indeed unequal.

As for his contributions, Aragaki Shun not only provided them with the Zero-Point Strategy, but also publicly stated that he was willing to invest the 15 million yen he won from Nagumo into Class 2-B, rekindling the hopes of everyone in the class for advancement.

Class 2-B paid was to follow the other side's instructions to make the rest of the second year miss the Sports Festival, and then to carry out the Zero-Point Strategy to reset Class 2-A's evaluation score to zero.

Up to this point, everyone could still say they were getting what they wanted, but on the other hand, this also meant that Aragaki Shun no longer needed to support Class 2-B.

After all, he had already achieved his goal of suppressing Miyabi Nagumo and seizing victory in the Sports Festival. As long as the Zero-Point Strategy succeeded, all four second-year classes would be severely crippled, and the boy could simply stand at a distance and watch them fight to the death.

Ultimately, the rivalry between Aragaki Shun Miyabi Nagumo is more like a battle of egos. In a school where the theme is class competition and vying for the privileges of Class A, cross-grade competition doesn't really have much meaning.

Kiriyama Ikuto and his Aragaki Shun, hoping to use his strength to reclaim their place in Class A. But would this make any difference to the leaders of the Class 1-A?

Absolutely not!

The effort and the reward are disproportionate; such cooperation, which only benefits Class 2-B, is certainly not sustainable.

Thinking this through, Kiriyama and the others immediately realized that it was time for them to show their sincerity.

"We've already discussed this beforehand. Starting today, Class 2-B will obey only Aragaki-kaicho's orders."

"As long as we can get back into Class A, let Aragaki-kaicho take whatever he wants from us."

With this resolute stance, the two people behind Kiriyama also had firm gazes, clearly indicating that all members of Class 2-B, except for Kiryuuin Fuuka, had reached a consensus on this matter.

It's important to know that their class, like Class 1-B, was originally certified as Class A by the Advanced Nurturing School.

In other words, the students assigned to these two classes share certain similarities: they are pragmatic, know how to make choices, and are self-aware.

Now that they see hope of advancing to Class A again, these sophisticated egoists don't mind yielding to their juniors, as long as Aragaki Shun has the ability and is truly willing to lead them forward.

To put it bluntly, what's wrong with kneeling down and acting like a dog to the most powerful, Advanced Nurturing beings?

Class C and Class D in the same grade wouldn't even have a chance to kneel down!

Seeing this, Aragaki Shun was quite satisfied with the attitude of these people.

It doesn't matter if you're not very capable, as long as you're willing to understand your place and follow instructions carefully, you can be led by a capable leader.

What I fear most are those idiots who have no real skills but are inexplicably arrogant and conceited, thinking they are the best in the world, and who go around acting stupid to get attention.

However, generally speaking, such idiots will only be assigned to Class D, which is full of defective students, by the school.

Although Class 2-B was suppressed by Miyabi Nagumo and lost its original position, at the beginning, they were indeed Advanced Nurturing and recognized as the most competitive members of the original Class A.

In terms of special skills, they might not be as good as other classes with various tricks, but in terms of obedience, overall quality, and specific execution ability, this group was indeed the strongest among the four classes in the same grade when they first entered school.

In other words, the students initially assigned to Class A are the best mid-level managers in the eyes of companies. With just a qualified class leader, they can usually easily widen the gap with the lower-level classes.

Unfortunately, the class competition faced by both first and second graders was far from typical, so it's no surprise that they fell in the rankings.

However, now that Aragaki Shun is here, the gap in class leadership has been bridged, and the landscape of the second year will naturally change again.

In the following days, Aragaki Shun learned about the students in Class 2-B in detail through conversations with Kiriyama Ikuto and others. He also inquired about the students in other classes who needed to be watched. Ultimately, he reached the following agreement with Kiriyama and the others:

--[Article 1: Aragaki Shun will fully support Class 2-B in seizing and securing their position in Class A. If Class 2-B ultimately fails to graduate from Class A, Aragaki Shun will not only have to replenish the Twenty Million Personal Points he has accumulated, but will also have to give Class 2-B an additional 20 million points free of charge.]

--[Article 2: Provided that no relevant personnel are expelled, all members of Class 2-B shall unconditionally obey all instructions from Aragaki Shun regarding class competition. If Class 2-B wishes to change its class representative in the future, it must conduct a vote by all members of the class in the presence of Aragaki Shun.]

--[Article 3: After Aragaki Shun's decision is made, if any student deliberately disobeys during an exam, undermines the class strategy, and seriously damages the class's interests, Aragaki Shun has the right to order the Class 2-B to further investigate and hold the relevant personnel accountable, and even apply to the school for expulsion arbitration.]

--[Article 4: When Class 2-B regains its position Class A and the Class Evaluation Points is higher than 200, all members of the class must, in addition to retaining a monthly living allowance of 20,000 yen, transfer all remaining Private Points to Aragaki Shun's personal account under the guise of investment returns.]

After determining these four main conditions, Aragaki Shun and Kiriyama Ikuto meticulously finalized various supplementary rules, ultimately spending over an hour to discuss and finalize all aspects of the agreement.

Afterwards, both parties called in Chie Hoshinomiya and the homeroom teacher of Class 2-B, so that the two teachers could represent the school in notarizing the proceedings.

"Tsk tsk, this is the first time I've encountered something like this. It's not uncommon for strong students to be able to unite their own class and other classes, but this kind of direct domination across grade levels is probably a first since the founding of Kodo Ikusei Senior High School."

"Little Aragaki, how many more surprises will you bring to your teacher?"

With a smile, Hoshinomiya looked the core members of his class up and down, and indeed, the more he looked, the more he liked them. He chuckled twice and decisively signed his name on behalf of the school.

As for the homeroom teacher of Class 2-B, he stared at the various clauses in the agreement without saying a word for a long time.

Regardless, the class he led was probably the first class in the history of the Advanced Nurturing Center to be dominated by younger students, right?

Wow~ Are these kids really going this far to defeat Miyabi Nagumo and reclaim their place in Class A?

"Are you really sure? Once this agreement is finalized, there will be no turning back."

After a moment's hesitation, the homeroom teacher of Class 2-B asked Kiriyama and the others for their thoughts again.

After all, from his perspective, the contents of this agreement were indeed somewhat harsh on their class.

The four main conditions, apart from the first one which restricts Aragaki Shun, include decision-making power, disciplinary power, and economic plunder, and various supplementary rules are used to continuously elevate the other party's leadership position relative to Class 2-B.

In short, once the contents of this agreement are established, everyone in Class 2-B will become a vassal of Aragaki Shun. In future class competitions, no matter how outrageous the orders issued by the other side, as long as they do not involve expulsion or personal safety, the students in the class will have no choice but to comply.

Is it really worth it?

But Kiriyama Ikuto and others replied – Of course it's worth it!

As long as they can graduate from Class A and receive a high level of commitment to employment and further education, they can transcend their current social class and achieve a bright and promising future.

Needless to say, the positions and benefits in Class A were originally theirs; it was just that Miyabi Nagumo took them away because of their lack of ability.

"Teacher, I'm not reconciled!"

A boy behind Kiriyama clenched his fist and growled.

Now we have the chance to tear the label "Class B" to shreds, along with all the cold stares and ridicule behind it. What kind of price is it to just follow the instructions of junior students and only be able to keep 20,000 Private Points each month for living expenses?

"Exactly!" Another student took a deep breath, staring blankly at the agreement in his hand. "It's just a year and a half of 'absolute obedience.' Compared to struggling at the bottom for a lifetime, this amount of time isn't even worth the interest."

The homeroom teacher of Class 2-B moved her Adam's apple, as if she wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Kiriyama Ikuto's voice.

"Teacher, please sign this. I've already taken a picture of the conditions and sent it to the class group."

"Except for Kiryuuin Fuuka, who didn't say anything, everyone in the class agreed to the deal."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged homeroom teacher was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously took out his phone, only to find that what Kiriyama said was true.

"Teacher, don't forget, we were in Class A from the beginning!"

"The reason we've fallen to Class B isn't because we're incompetent, but because we don't have a leader in the class who can rival Miyabi Nagumo."

It sounds like a way of shifting blame, but many people in Class 2-B, including Kiriyama Ikuto, thought so.

What kind of Special Exam the overall ability of a class?

If you just look at Manabu Horikita Third Year), Miyabi Nagumo (second grade), and Aragaki Shun (first grade), the school wouldn't be so blatantly lying.

If a leader's personal abilities exceed a certain limit, what good are it if the other students in the class have slightly better or worse overall abilities?

If Aragaki Shun had been in the original Class A from the beginning, would the original Class B have had a chance to make a comeback?
