Classroom of the Elite: I Can Add Points Without Limit

Sure enough, leaving the White Room was the right thing to do; the world was far more interesting than he had imagined.

Meanwhile, in the seat next to him, the usually composed Katsuragi Kohei was using the power of the internet to search for questions that had left him speechless even during the exam.

"Found it! I found several similar questions on some forums, but their sources... are all on the other side of the ocean?"

"I see. So it's Wang Meiyu. I didn't expect that international student to have such abilities."

Having finally found the answer, the Baldy slumped in his chair, the pressure in his heart not only not decreasing, but actually increasing.

Class A was originally the strongest class in the first year, and then it kept siphoning Private Points from the three other classes, using that money to invite elites from those three classes to join... Now, most of the talented people in the entire first year are on the other side, while Class B only has a handful of big shots.

Do they really still have a chance to win?

A few more days passed, and the teachers graded the papers very quickly, and the results for all four classes were released soon.

When the homeroom teacher entered the classroom, even the students in Class A couldn't help but feel nervous, fearing that they might make a mistake during the exam, not only failing to reach the passing grade but also dragging their group members into the crisis of dropping out of school.

Fortunately, this did not happen.

Chie Hoshinomiya walked up to the podium carrying a thick stack of documents, had the students in the front row distribute everyone's exam papers, and then wrote everyone's scores and rankings on the blackboard. She then turned to look at the students in Class A:

"Everyone worked very hard. No one was expelled this time, and we successfully surpassed Class B in average score."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the classroom breathed a sigh of relief, followed by a continuous burst of cheers.

Chie Hoshinomiya smiled and watched the scene with narrowed eyes, and also raised her fist to celebrate with everyone. Although it seemed like she was trying to look young, she was indeed full of youthful energy.

After everyone's enthusiasm subsided, she coughed twice deliberately, reminding them in her capacity as the class advisor:

"It's important to note that while PaperShuffle was indeed our victory this time, everyone's average score dropped significantly, to only 73 points."

"Of course, this is the result of Class B deliberately making things difficult for them, and since they were already in a worse situation, their score was simply reduced to 56."

Hoshinomiya-sensei announced the results of both classes, and it was clear that Class A had won a crushing victory over Class B.

This experience of using mainland exam questions might be unforgettable for them.

"Oh, right, and this too, the first-grade Class Evaluation Points have been updated as well."

As she spoke, the homeroom teacher wrote several more lines on the blackboard, showing the changes in evaluation scores for the four classes.

Class A (Aragaki Class) 2722 points → 2822

Class B (Katsuragi Class) 1808 points → 1708

Class C (Ibuki Class) 1440 points → 1340

Class D (Karuizawa Class) 567 points → 667

According to PaperShuffle's reward and punishment rules, in a competition between classes, the winner takes 100 Class Evaluation Points from the loser.

Therefore, Class A's score reached an unprecedented 2822, thanks to the contribution of Class B.

However, as we continue reading, we see that Class C's score has decreased while Class D' s score has increased... This is truly unexpected. How could Class C be defeated by Class D, which is known as a haven for flawed products?

Upon seeing this, everyone in Class A felt it was a bit outrageous. They rubbed their eyes several times before opening them again, and only after finding that the Class Evaluation Points remained unchanged did they reluctantly accept the fact.

But some students still couldn't help but complain:

"Should we say Class C is too useless? Class D has either left or dropped out, leaving only 32 people."

"How could they possibly lose when things are like this?"

283. Two groups in Class B failed; some are happy, some are sad.

Class C, having lost Ryuen Kakeru and Shiina Hiyori, seems completely useless.

He received a direct email with the grade sheets from Class C and Class D, and comparing the students' performance on PaperShuffle, Aragaki Shun couldn't help but sigh.

Of course, this is also related to the expulsion of four students from Class D: Yamauchi Haruki, Kanji Ike, Ken Sudō, and Sotomura Hideo.

After getting rid of these oddballs, Class D' s overall quality improved dramatically, easily surpassing Class C, which already had very few top students.

If we compare average scores, the latter will absolutely not be able to beat the former.

There are far too few academically gifted students in Class C. After Shiina Hiyori transferred to Class A, only Kaneda Satoru was able to keep up the pace.

Even though Class D lost Horikita Suzune, Ayanokoji, Wang Meiyu, and Koenji, they still have Yukimura Teruhiko, Kushida Kikyo, Yosuke Hirata, and the newly emerging Matsushita Chiaki.

Upon seeing this, Aragaki Shun specifically recalled the information about the girl with brown wavy hair and blue eyes who lived at this school.

The other person seemed to have just been a member of the gyaru group that Karuizawa belonged to. She didn't seem particularly remarkable. Her academic performance and physical fitness were average. I haven't heard of any special skills or anything that would make her famous.

However, during the Sports Festival, this person suddenly displayed considerable strength, ranking at least in the top three among the girls in Class D. Now that the PaperShuffle results are out, Matsushita's ranking is only behind Yukimura Teruhiko Yosuke Hirata, just surpassing Kushida to become the third in Class D.

From this perspective, the other party could be considered to be both literate and skilled in martial arts.

But to be honest, it's more like "when the cat's Yamanaka, the mice will play," because her grades were clearly inferior to those of Wang Meiyu, Horikita Suzune, Ayanokoji, and Koenji, who had already transferred to other classes.

If we were to place them in the very beginning, Class D, Matsushita wouldn't even rank in the top five in terms of physical fitness or academic ability.

In terms of affability and coordination, no one in Class D can surpass Kushida Hirata. As for action and leadership, one only needs to look at how long the other has been a follower in Karuizawa Kei's group to get a sense of it.

In the past, Aragaki Shun had never realized that there was such a hidden talent in Class D.

If it were just a lack of information, that would be fine, but since even intuition didn't specifically point it out, it can only mean that the other party really doesn't need to be paid too much attention.

Analyzing the results of the Sports Festival and this special exam, if Matsushita didn't have a hidden dark past, he should have the strength of an ordinary Class A student. It's a bit of a pity that he was placed in Class D, but if he were brought to Class A, he would quickly become just another ordinary person and probably wouldn't be of much use.

The assessment is that he is inferior to Katsuragi Kohei. He cannot step up and take charge as a leader, nor does he possess any outstanding special skills like some gifted students. In addition, his personality of being unwilling to exert his abilities because he is afraid of trouble and only wants to go with the flow makes him unsuitable even as an assistant or secretary...

Well, let's take a look first.

That said, is this thing some Masterpiece from somewhere?

Why do you like to cower in a low-class group and play the loser? Aren't you afraid that you'll actually become a pig and be slaughtered without any power to resist?

Unable to comprehend these people's thoughts, Aragaki Shun could only shake his head and review the grades of the two lower-ranked classes and all the students.

The final assessment was that neither class was particularly noteworthy. Class C couldn't match Class D in terms of average score, but the latter had too few students and was almost powerless to put up a fight in events where total scores mattered.

Some students were invited to join Class A, but they were all of the more ordinary type. At best, their transfer would be a nice addition, and they would only contribute little to the overall development of the class.

The only two who are truly usable Kushida Kikyo Yosuke Hirata, whose flaws have been smoothed out. However, without them, Class D would immediately fall into a state of paralysis. Therefore, it is best to let the two of them stay there and help Aragaki Shun manage the class.

Having made this decision, the Leader of Class A put down the two report cards, and Chie Hoshinomiya immediately spoke up:

"One last thing. Because the questions you created were a bit too difficult, two groups in Class B failed."

"According to the rules of this Special Exam, barring any unforeseen circumstances, all four students in these two groups will be expelled..."

Upon hearing this, Class A erupted in an uproar, but seeing the gleeful expressions on some people's faces, Aragaki Shun couldn't help but interrupt their daydreams.

"So, an unexpected incident occurred: Koenji decided to buy points for this student?"

"That's right, these two groups combined are 6 points short of the passing score. Class B has already applied to the school to use Private Points to buy the corresponding points."

Chie Hoshinomiya waved her hand, also adopting a regretful expression.

If there were no way to buy points, Class B would absolutely not be able to cancel the expulsion penalty given their financial situation.

The class, which already had only 38 students, would have to share a table with Class D with the children if they lost four more.

Unfortunately, the school did not prohibit the buying of scores in this special exam. After all, PaperShuffle is essentially a variant of the Final Exam, and the sudden expulsion of so many students would completely destroy Class B, which would not align with the highly competitive philosophy of Advanced Nurturing.

"However, unlike a normal Final Exam, this time the test paper for attacking Class B was made by Class A. Therefore, the school specifically gave us the pricing power for every point, and the Private Points paid by Class B will also be transferred to our class account."

Upon hearing this supplementary rule, the students in the classroom, who had initially been somewhat disappointed, regained their interest and began asking all sorts of questions with great enthusiasm.

"We're really going to set the price? Then of course the higher the unit price, the better! Let's make it so they can't afford it at 20 million per cent!"

"That's impossible, there must be a limit, otherwise the points-buying system would be completely meaningless?"

"Then let's just set it as the upper limit. We definitely need to make sure that Class B gets more Private Points."

Although there were Ichinose Honami, who showed signs of reluctance, under Aragaki Shun's leadership, everyone in the class tacitly agreed that all external considerations should prioritize the interests of Class A. Therefore, even the pink-haired girl did not say she would give up this opportunity, allowing Class B to cancel the expulsion punishment at a minimal cost.

Soon, with Chie Hoshinomiya deliberately letting him win, Aragaki Shun easily figured out the highest unit price for this purchase of points—that is, 200,000 Private Points per point.

"Six points equals 1.2 million, which is a pretty good return. It'll make those guys in Class B feel the pinch for a while."

To some extent, the reward and punishment rules of this PaperShuffle truly embody the concept of mutual plunder and winner-takes-all.

If you can beat the rival class in terms of average score, you can not only steal their evaluation points and make them fail by creating difficult questions, but also forcibly take away a lot of Private Points.

But in general, these things circulated within the grade level, and the school didn't actually spend a single penny.

It seems the school is really leaning towards conservatism; I wonder when they'll hold the next Special Exam with exceptionally generous rewards...

Some are happy, some are sad.

As the losers in the competition, the atmosphere in Class 1-B's classroom was so tense that even breathing became a problem.

But soon, the person in the spotlight Koenji Rokusuke, put down the mirror in his hand and took all the responsibility for this special exam upon himself.

"I didn't expect Class A to use exam papers from other countries. This is my mistake as a leader, and it has nothing to do with the two groups that failed."

Therefore, I allow the class to use its class funds to buy the missing 6 points without hesitation.

The requirement of 1.2 million Private Points from Class A has been communicated to us through the class advisor.

Frankly speaking, after the purchase of points to lift the expulsion penalty, Class B's already dire financial situation will inevitably become even more severe.

However, compared to the fact that four students dropped out of school, causing the class size to drop to 34, this cost is barely bearable.

"That's settled then, Katsuragi boy. It's your turn to handle the transfer."

Faced with Koenji Rokusuke's request, Katsuragi Kohei sighed but nodded in understanding.

But after glancing around at the relieved classmates, the Baldy man seemed to have thought of something. His brows furrowed slowly, and he solemnly warned:

"The test papers made by Class A were indeed more difficult than ours, but the results also show that our class's overall academic ability is now really not as good as that of the students in Class A."

"I hope everyone will take this seriously and actively participate in future study sessions to catch up in this area. Otherwise, next time, and the time after that, there might not be Private Points on buying credits."

The scores and rankings of the four first-grade classes are completely public within each class, so finding out the scores of other classes is not difficult.

For example, you could simply have a student take a picture of the blackboard in Class A.

In short, Katsuragi easily obtained the results of their biggest rival and was deeply worried about it.

The difference in average scores between the two classes was too great, not only because of the different difficulty of the exams, but also because of the difference in their actual abilities.

To put it another way, after Ayanokoji and Koenji finished making the exam, Katsuragi also did it himself. However, when comparing the final score with the Class A results, he was ranked after Kanzaki Ryuji, which is equivalent to seventh place in Class A.

The problem is that he is now the third most academically gifted student in Class B, with only Koenji and Ayanokoji ahead of him.

Sigh, their Class B has so few talented people.

Thinking of this, Katsuragi unconsciously glanced at a brown-haired, golden-eyed man with a stoic face.

The other party achieved an astonishing score of full marks in all eight subjects in this Special Exam, completely unaffected by the difficulty of the test papers.

Incidentally, in the entire first year, only Ayanokoji and Aragaki Shun from Class A achieved this score.

These two seem to have exceeded the limit!

Perhaps for them, high school level knowledge is no longer a problem, and they get full marks because the highest possible score on the test is full marks.

Why was this exceptionally talented individual, skilled in both academics and martial arts, and capable of easily accumulating ten million Private Points, assigned to Class D alongside Koenji upon enrollment?

Katsuragi fell into thought, then once again cursed in his heart that the school's initial class assignment was a complete idiot and a mess.

So, based on the initial situation, besides Class C, their original Class A had the fewest people and also had to serve a capricious young lady...

Could we really be abandoned children assigned to accompany their parents during their studies?

I'm having some doubts about life, but I still have to face reality.

After a few seconds of melancholy, Katsuragi put those useless thoughts aside, opened the class account, and transferred 1.2 million Private Points to Class A.

Looking at the account balance, which had suddenly dropped to 13.94 million, this usually composed man felt as if his head was about to explode, and he suddenly became extremely pessimistic about the future of his class.

After the Sports Festival, Class B's evaluation score has increased to 1808. With all 38 students in the class combined, they can accumulate 6.87 million Private Points per month, which seems like a lot.

The problem is that they have to transfer 3.4 million yen in debt to Aragaki Shun every month, and then there's the Transfer Ticket that Koenji, Ryuen Kakeru, and Ayanokoji need to use for ten consecutive months, which adds up to 9.4 million yen.

Adding up the living expenses and other miscellaneous costs for everyone in the class, let's say it's 600,000. The fixed monthly expenses would be a whopping 10 million Private Points.

His fixed income consists only of the Private Points he receives from the school each month, and the 300,000 yen he receives from Mashima Tomoya, totaling around 7 million yen.
