Classroom of the Elite: I Can Add Points Without Limit

After all, the difference in their family backgrounds was so great, he didn't think Suzune could become his legitimate wife at all; it was obvious that such a thing was impossible if you thought about it for a moment.

"So, you're worried I'll hurt your sister, right?" Aragaki Shun bluntly pointed out.

As for Tachibana Akane's choice, Manabu Horikita didn't seem to care much.

Although they were classmates, friends, or even comrades-in-arms, he didn't feel he had the right to interfere in the other's private affairs, such as who the other associated with.

Moreover, in his eyes, Tachibana Akane herself is a very capable and rational person. Since she knew that Aragaki Shun was a womanizer, she was still willing to give herself to him. She must have thought it through carefully. It would be a thankless task for outsiders to interfere.

But Horikita Suzune is different. Any brother who cares about his sister would never remain indifferent when he learns that she might have been tricked away by a blond-haired man.

"There's no need for that. At least right now, besides her appearance, Suzune doesn't have any other qualities that are attractive enough to me."

With his chin resting on his hand, Aragaki Shun's sarcastic remark was merciless. "And your sister is just like you, a workaholic who puts her mind entirely on her work. I really can't imagine what you two would be like when you're in love."

Manabu Horikita: "..."

Not only can you not imagine it, but I myself have never even considered such a scenario.

Bearing the expectations and future of everyone in Class A of the Third Year, how could he possibly have the time to think about romance?

As for Suzune, that clumsy little sister seems to spend more than ten hours a day reading.

"I think instead of worrying about whether I'll hurt Suzune, you should think about what kind of personality your future brother-in-law has to be to accept your sister's temper?"

Aragaki Shun laughed without any politeness, then ignored Manabu Horikita's suddenly darkened face and got up to leave the private room.

"By the way, you asked me before if I had a way of carrying other people's lives, right?"

Just as he was about to leave the room, the boy suddenly turned around and looked him in the eye, smiling arrogantly, "Then let me ask you, do you really know my place in this world?"

"Just a heads-up, this country's Marriage Law will be rewritten by next year at the latest, and you should be seeing related debates all over the internet right now."

Carrying the burden of other people's lives?

For the only Transcendentalist in this world, a mere harem of less than ten people is nothing compared to the fact that the entire Earth, with its nearly 10 billion inhabitants, is far too small!

Once all the Source Power on this planet is harvested, it will lack far too much foundation before it enters the interstellar era.

272. New regulations for Advanced Nurturing; the banned Zero-Point Strategy; sensational.

At the same time, Miyabi Nagumo received news that her application to hold the Student Council election ahead of schedule had been rejected by the school.

"What on earth is going on? Didn't you say you wanted to reform the Advanced Nurturing as soon as possible? Why is it going wrong even at the very first step!"

Faced with Nagumo's questioning on the phone, the homeroom teacher of Class 2-A, who was on the phone with him, visibly sighed and explained with a sense of helplessness:

"Everything was going smoothly until the Acting Board Chairman intervened, so the Student Council election had to proceed according to the original procedure."

"So, we have to wait two months before Horikita-senpai truly steps down?"

After reaching this conclusion, Miyabi Nagumo's face turned ugly, and the low pressure emanating from her made the surrounding underlings uncomfortable, fearing that she might suddenly lose her temper and vent all her anger on them.

No wonder the Yellow-haired Senior wanted to curse; if they really waited two months, it would be too late, and what good would it be then?

Now he understands clearly that, for some unknown reason, Manabu Horikita, who has always been fair and just, has somehow reached an understanding with Aragaki Shun and is willing to help him take over as the next Student Council President.

The former Student Council President's ideas still had a significant impact on the election results, since as long as he was in that position, he could use his authority to slightly deviate from the election rules.

In other words, barring any unforeseen circumstances, there is absolutely no chance of him competing with Aragaki Shun for the next Student Council President position through the normal process.

Therefore, he could only try to push for an early Student Council election, the sooner the better.

The second-year students, who were once united, are now beginning to fall apart. While his influence still lingers, Aragaki Shun has only been enrolled Advanced Nurturing for half a year, so his influence on the second and Third Year is ultimately limited.

If he can seize this last opportunity and take advantage of the school's reforms to take the position of Student Council President in advance, he can use this power to make a comeback and even rise to a higher level!

Once he takes the stage, the Third Year Class B, Class C, and Class D will either want to overtake Class A or want to make the remaining six months easier, so it will be only natural for them to gravitate towards him.

After all, he wasn't like Manabu Horikita, who didn't mind using the Student Council President's power appropriately.

And then there are the second-year Class C and Class D, those idiots who only know how to waver, they will surely rediscover their place.

Once this step is completed, he will be able to return to his peak and once again control more than half of the classes in the school. At that time, how will Horikita-senpai, who has lost most of his power, deal with his offensive!

Unfortunately, this idea ran into problems from the very beginning, and the slightest error led to a huge mistake, causing the entire plan to collapse.

Damn it, those guys who keep talking about wanting change are all useless. They can't even change the date of the Student Council election!

Now things are fine. By the time Manabu Horikita has finished changing the election rules in two months, he will only be a runner-up.

Needless to say, Class 2-B is currently implementing their Zero-Point Strategy, and Class A's evaluation scores are about to be reset to zero. Without the support of the Student Council President's power, how can he deter and punish those scoundrels who are jumping around like this!

"Nagumo! Look!"

Just as the Yellow-haired Senior was filled with indignation, one of Nagumo's confidants Mizowaki, suddenly exclaimed. He handed over his phone, pointing to the School Forum displayed on it, and said happily, "The Student Council has released new rules, revising the punishment measures for the 'Zero-Point Strategy' system."

"Does this mean that the tactics of Class B are no longer effective?"

Nagumo frowned, a sudden sense of foreboding rising in his heart. He snatched the phone, only to see a forum announcement on the screen—

[Due to the recent disorderly conduct among second-grade students, the school believes that some students are engaging in extremely egregious and destructive competitive behavior. In response to the aforementioned large-scale absenteeism, the Student Council has issued new regulations for Advanced Nurturing and has made the following rectifications...]

The specific rectification measures were outlined in many detailed regulations, but in summary, they can be summarized as follows:

Starting today, if any such Zero-Point Strategy are used again, the Student Council will prioritize deducting evaluation points from the class of the person who implemented them, just as in the past.

However, the difference is that once the evaluation score of the class to which the executor belongs reaches zero, the school will no longer ignore their actions just because there are no negative points. Instead, it will further deduct the total assets of the class that carried out the act. In other words, if they continue to violate the code of conduct, everyone in the class will have to hand over their Private Points as a fine.

If they remain unrepentant at this point, and the class's total assets also reach zero, the Student Council will have the right to issue demerits to those who implement the Zero-Point Strategy. The first demerit will be considered a warning, and if they remain obstinate, the second demerit will result in forced expulsion.

In short, in response to the Zero-Point Strategy, the school changed the rules to first deduct the Class Evaluation Points, then deduct the Private Points of everyone in the class, and finally issue a demerit. Anyone who issues two demerits will be forced to expel from school.

"Great! Now those guys from Class B definitely won't dare to bother us anymore..."

Faced with the cheers of another trusted confidant, Tonokawa Miyabi Nagumo's face almost twisted in anger, and she couldn't help but scold this idiot on the spot.

"What a load of rubbish! Can't you use your brain for once? The latest Class Evaluation Points for second grade are right below this announcement. Go check how many points our class has left before you talk!"

Seeing Nagumo's gritted teeth, Tonokawa shrank back, not daring to say a word, and could only obey orders by looking at the second-grade Class Evaluation Points below the forum.

56 points in Class 2-A

Class 2-B, 0 points

Class 2-C, 99 points

Class 2-D, 72 points

Tonokawa: "???"

Mizowaki: "???"

Their class's current evaluation score is only 56? In fact, no class in the entire second grade has ever scored above 100?

Damn it, are those lunatics in Class B out of their minds? They've dragged everyone down to the point where they can only eat free meals every day!

Before the Sports Festival, their class's evaluation score had exceeded 1400, but in just a few days, it has dropped to less than one-twentieth of that.

The remaining two classes were caught in the crossfire. Even though Class B's main target was Class A, their evaluation scores were significantly reduced due to the Zero-Point Strategy.

"Wait a minute, our Class A's evaluation score is now lower than Class C and Class D? We're in Class 2-C now?"

Upon seeing the rankings of the four classes above, Mizowaki suddenly realized what was happening, and then he was slapped on the head by Miyabi Nagumo, who could no longer tolerate it.

"Shut up! Don't keep saying things that make me want to slap you!"

The Yellow-haired Senior was feeling very frustrated. With Class 2-A's evaluation score about to drop to zero and the Student Council elections not being held in advance, he was prepared to lead his classmates in a frenzy, using Zero-Point Strategy to drag Manabu Horikita and Aragaki Shun's classes down with him.

As it turned out, those two bastards had anticipated this and changed the punishment at the last minute, leaving him with no way to retaliate after suffering such a loss.

The Class Evaluation Points is manageable, but the key issue is that everyone's Private Points will be deducted later. The remaining 20 million is his last line of defense, and he absolutely cannot afford to lose it.

Without a doubt, he is now suffering in silence, unable to express his bitterness.

This is the first time in my life that I've lost to this extent.

Hateful!!!

The smile doesn't disappear, it just moves on.

While Miyabi Nagumo's class was filled with sorrow, Kiriyama Ikuto and his classmates in Class 2-B were overjoyed as they looked at the announcements on the School Forum.

"The Zero-Point Strategy has come to a successful conclusion!"

"Now all four second-grade classes have scores below 100, so everyone is essentially starting from scratch in the competition. Without a doubt, we are the ultimate winners in this contest!"

"Ohhhhhh!!!"

Kiriyama stood on the podium, excitedly declaring his victory to everyone in the class, and the crowd in the classroom erupted in cheers.

As the first Class A certified by the school, they actually fell into the hell of zero points and ranked last one day. In a way, they also set a new record for Advanced Nurturing.

However, it is undeniable that after this ordeal, the gap between the four second-grade classes has been reduced to less than 100.

They did fall to the bottom, but the three classes ahead of them were within their reach. All they needed to do was win a Special Exam, and perhaps they could return to Class A.

With such a wonderful situation, how can it not be considered a huge victory!

Needless to say, they now have powerful backers to rely on, so there's nothing to fear from Miyabi Nagumo!

The two lower-ranked classes in the second grade were also filled with excitement.

"Do we count as having moved up to Class A now?"

"I guess so. Even though our Class Evaluation Points was only 99, we were still ranked first."

The core members of Class 2-C looked at each other in disbelief, never having imagined that such a bizarre thing could happen in the world— Class B dragged Class A into self-destruction, and in the end, Class C actually benefited from it.

So the question is, how can we extend the duration of the Class A trial card and find a way to hold onto it until graduation?

The same discussion also took place in Class 2-D, whose current evaluation score is 72, only 27 points away from Class A, and they have a chance to make a comeback in any Special Exam.

In this situation, it's absolutely impossible for them to have no ideas at all!

Hope is right in front of us!

These two classes can't think of a way to maintain their current status for the time being, but seeing that Miyabi Nagumo's class has fallen behind them... everything else can be put aside for now, let's figure out a way to suppress this annoying guy and prevent him from rising again!

With this in mind, the two lucky classes that had been promoted began to visit each other frequently.

Fortune changes every three months.

Regardless, let's unite and crush the two fallen top classes first!

At this point, Miyabi Nagumo's remaining influence in other classes completely collapsed, and the competition in the second year became fierce once again, even more intense than when they first started school.

Compared to the second-year students who were fiercely competing, the Third Year classes had their own ideas after the new regulations for Advanced Nurturing were announced.

"If I had known there was such an easy way to overtake on a curve, I should have had Class D just Manabu Horikita and blow them up!"

Ishikura, the leader of Class 3-B, looked somewhat annoyed.

I can't believe I didn't think of using the Zero-Point Strategy; that's really something I shouldn't have done!

If he had known he could do this, he would have immediately rallied the whole class to chip in and bribe those poor bastards in Class D. After all, their Class Evaluation Points wasn't high anyway, so as long as they could gain more Private Points, it wouldn't be a big deal even if they were reset to zero.

As for the fact that Manabu Horikita's class is richer and can spend more Private Points to bribe Class D... that's even better. After they spend that money, he will immediately lead Class B and force Class C and Class A to perish together, and everyone will be stuck in the mud!

Before he could even react, the Student Council announced the new school rules.

It's such a shame that the Zero-Point Strategy, which is so useful, was banned!

Then, seeing the fate of Miyabi Nagumo's class in Class A of the Third Year, the Manabu Horikita students were drenched in cold sweat.

After all, the techniques that could be used against Class 2-A could also be used against them.

Fortunately, they had the strongest Student Council President in history, who, seeing the situation was getting out of hand, immediately banned this ruthless tactic.

With this in mind, everyone in Class A of the Third Year calmed down and quickly returned to their usual relaxed and carefree state. Many girls simply put these things out of their minds and began to gather around Tachibana Akane to discuss the latest gossip on campus.

"So, Tachibana, you like this kind of assertive, younger male junior? I never would have guessed!"

"The Aragaki, is indeed the most handsome guy in the whole school. He's good at studying, an all-rounder in sports, and rich and powerful. However, he seems to be a bit of a womanizer. I heard he's entangled with several girls."

"What's this? We're graduating in six months. Let's just consider this a chance to create some beautiful memories before we graduate. Slurp~ If I could date Aragaki- kun, I'd be happy to sleep in his arms every night."

"Tsk tsk tsk~ Stop being so horny, you slut. If you really want something, you can go find the heir to the Koenji Conglomerate. That blond guy is really famous among the girls in several lower-ranked classes."

As her friends chatted about increasingly exciting topics, Tachibana Akane, who was surrounded in the center, looked somewhat troubled.

If she says she wants to go see Aragaki-kun now, will she be accused of forgetting her best friend now that she has a boyfriend?
