Classroom of the Elite: I Can Gain Points Without Limit, Chapter 210
Thinking of this, the Yellow-haired Senior could only console himself in his heart--
These are all necessary sacrifices. Once I become the Student Council President, everything will be alright!
After dealing with Class 3-D, Miyabi Nagumo didn't even have a minute to rest before immediately turning her attention to Class 3-B and Class C of the third grade.
These two classes had collaborated with him many times, and since they all aimed to become Manabu Horikita, they had a common rival, making it relatively easy for them to communicate.
However, the leaders of these classes are not stupid. Although they would prefer Miyabi Nagumo to take over as Student Council President, the conditions would certainly not be lower than those for Class 3-D.
After careful negotiation, both parties ultimately agreed to complete the transaction at a price of 250,000 Private Points.
In this way, Miyabi Nagumo obtained a total of 101 votes from the three remaining classes in the Third Year, excluding Class A, at a cost of 25.25 million.
Suppressing the financial pain, the Yellow-haired Senior did some calculations and discovered that only Class 1-B, the former Class C and the former Class D of the second year, were not on any side in the entire Advanced Nurturing.
So he decisively summoned Koenji Rokusuke, Katsuragi Kohei, and others, and directly stated his conditions:
"The 5 million that Ryuen Kakeru owes me is now wiped clean. Then I'll give 4 million Private Points to the students in Class 1-B. Once I become the Student Council President, I'll give you a Vice President position and give you my full support in next year's election!"
Class 1-B has 38 students. At a price of 250,000 per student, the total cost should be 9.5 million. Even if we include the debt from Ryuen, there should still be 4.5 million left.
Therefore, Katsuragi and the others were somewhat dissatisfied with the price, after all, 500,000 was a considerable sum for their class's financial situation.
Seeing that the sucker in front of them really couldn't come up with any more Private Points, they had no choice but to accept the pie-in-the-sky promise about Student Council spots.
Otherwise, they couldn't possibly cast their vote for their biggest rival Aragaki Shun, could they?
Do you think he can succeed?
After Nagumo hurriedly left again, Katsuragi Kohei suddenly looked at Ayanokoji, wanting to know what this formidable companion thought.
"... Nagumo is betting that Aragaki Shun will become arrogant after his victory, and he wants to gain a time advantage before the other side can react, so as to win the votes of the other seven classes."
After a moment's thought, the White Room's Masterpiece revealed his thoughts, his expressionless face revealing no superfluous emotion.
"We can only hope that the outcome will depend on the opponent's carelessness. This game looks promising, but in reality, we've already fallen into a disadvantageous position."
Clearly, Ayanokoji believes that Miyabi Nagumo's current attempt to gamble on the enemy's advantage while clinging to wishful thinking is quite unwise.
Hesitation will only lead to more trouble!
If it were him, he would definitely prioritize preserving the Twenty Million Personal Points, leaving himself room to make mistakes, so that even if he faced expulsion, he could still make a comeback with the resources he had.
As a result, the other party squandered all the class's savings for a Student Council President position with little chance of success... This do-or-die decision was far too reckless.
If nothing unexpected happens, Aragaki Shun probably deliberately created the current situation to force Nagumo to throw out all his chips.
In this way, once the immunity from death is lost, the next attack will be a fatal blow.
"It's a pity, it seems we won't be able to see the money-giving boy at this school for a while."
Koenji Rokusuke also put down the mirror in his hand, his eyes seemingly already seeing the scene of Miyabi Nagumo being expelled from the Advanced Nurturing.
With Ryuen Kakeru's 5 million yen, the 10 million yen from the Sports Festival, and this 4 million yen, the other party has given Twenty Million Personal Points to Class 1-B in total, making them an unparalleled sucker.
The thought that such a generous angel investor would soon disappear filled Beautiful Brother with a sense of loss.
Once this fool is gone, the class's financial crisis won't be so easy to alleviate.
Is there really no chance?
Katsuragi Kohei frowned. With the addition of these 4 million Private Points, Class B's savings had grown to 17.9 million, barely enough to give him, the class fund manager, a breather.
Such a generous senior, who has no conflict of interest with them and also doesn't get along with Aragaki Shun from Class 1-A, is practically the most suitable ally for Class B. It would be such a pity if they were to be defeated like this.
"Give up. There's nothing we can do right now, and there's no need to deliberately draw Aragaki's attention."
With that casual remark, Ayanokoji turned and left the Activity Classroom.
Ultimately, he didn't have the habit of doing useless work for a soon-to-be-obsolete tool.
"Nagumo, it's really no use anymore. Everyone in the class has used up Private Points in the previous transactions with the four other classes. Even the class advisor can't provide us with any more financial support."
Seeing that Nagumo had once again invited the leaders of the original Class C in the second year out, wanting to continue to garner votes through transactions, the two confidants who had been communicating with other students in the class and forcing everyone to collect Private Points finally couldn't hold back any longer.
The remaining three classes in the Third Year have a total of 101 students, while Class 1-B has 38 students. For these 139 votes, they spent a total of 29.25 million Private Points.
This fortune of nearly 30 million has drained the savings of Nagumo himself and all his classmates. Even their class teacher has been emptied of his pockets and can only survive on free goods until his salary arrives next month.
Even so, Nagumo still needs at least 45 more votes to secure the Student Council President Election.
Therefore, the support from the original Class C and the original Class D is indeed indispensable.
The question is, do they really have more leverage to trade with those two classes?
Of course!
Ignoring the dejected state of Mizowaki and Tonokawa, Miyabi Nagumo revealed a wild smile.
"Hahaha~ That guy Aragaki thinks that as long as he raises the price, I'll be defeated without a fight, but he has no idea how I used to rule over the second-year students!"
Why did he put those two second-grade classes last?
Because they are the most difficult to deal with, yet also the easiest to manage!
The problem is that, as competitors, the original Class C of the second year has been promoted to Class A, and the original Class D has been promoted to Class B. They will inevitably regard Nagumo as their primary enemy and try every means to make things difficult for him in every way.
On the other hand, based on his past experience, it wouldn't be difficult for him to fool the members of these two classes.
Putting aside the fact that the Kiriyama Class under Aragaki Shun's control was also their opponent, the key point is that the Akito in these two classes who had some ability and dared to resist had already been expelled by him.
Before Aragaki Shun's Zero-Point Strategy dismantled the second-year students' momentum, he was able to collect a considerable number of Private Points from four classes every month, relying on a two-pronged approach of both harsh punishment and sweet talk.
The "Sweet Dates" program is a reform of the Advanced Nurturing system, establishing a campus that truly Meritocracy. Before graduation, students who have proven their abilities are given Twenty Million Personal Points to help them graduate from Class A.
Yes, that's right. He made no guarantees at the time, just threatened to drop out of school and made verbal promises, which made the students from the original Class C and Class D rush to hand over their Private Points.
Two classes so easily fooled—with a little persuasion, perhaps by signing a contract or making some guarantees, what difficulty could there be in resolving this?
Snort--!
Just you wait, Aragaki, I'll make you regret this!
"That guy Nagumo, is he thinking up some nonsense again, all of a sudden?"
Walking along the tree-lined avenue at dusk, Aragaki Shun suddenly stopped, a hint of speechlessness in his expression.
I suddenly felt offended. My intuition tells me that this must be related to some Yellow-haired Senior.

But never mind, it's not a big deal. There's no need to be too harsh on someone who's about to disappear. Let them indulge in their fantasies in their final moments.
Shaking his head, Aragaki Shun exhaled, and white smoke drifted overhead, reducing the chill of the surrounding air.
The days with drastic temperature changes are so frequent that it's easy to forget the season, but it's already winter.
Just then, a girl with long orange hair and a sunflower hair clip suddenly walked from the opposite direction.
She glanced at Aragaki Shun, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, then shrank back and walked past him as if she were cold.
The boy hadn't paid much attention at first, but then, a sudden, unexpected exclamation rang in his ears.
"Wow!"
Turning my head, I saw that the girl from before had tripped and fallen to the ground, taking a spectacular tumble.
"It hurts..."
Watching the girl cry out in pain and rub her shapely buttocks as she quickly got up, Aragaki Shun fell into thought—
This is clearly flat ground, isn't it?
Puzzled, he heard a soft whooshing sound beside him. The boy raised an eyebrow and instinctively reached out to grab the object that was about to hit the ground.
I gently opened it and examined it closely; it turned out to be an exquisitely crafted Protection Talisman.
"... Senior, you've dropped something."
Seeing the girl blushing slightly as she looked around, and then realizing she was about to run away in embarrassment upon seeing Aragaki Shun realized she was about to leave.
He could only take one step forward and shake the little trinket, the meaning of which was unknown.
The next moment, Asahina Nazuna stopped moving and stood there stunned.
287. Asahina Nazuna believes in fate; what is destiny hinting at for her?
Why?
Upon seeing the Protection Talisman handed to her by Aragaki Shun, the girl with long orange hair and a sunflower hair clip paused, completely stunned.
She subconsciously touched her left wrist and found that the jewelry that should have been there was indeed gone. She parted her lips slightly in confusion and said:
"How so?"
"You tripped and fell to the ground, and this thing suddenly flew into my hand. It must belong to you, right?"
With a casual explanation, Aragaki Shun waved the Protection Talisman in his hand again and handed it to the girl once more.
"Thank you. I don't know what I would have done if I had really lost this child."
Feeling a bit scared, the Flat-ground-tripping Senior on her face quickly took the Protection Talisman and put it back on her left wrist.
Seeing Aragaki Shun nod slightly, the girl looked embarrassed and patted her chest, explaining softly:
"I bought this Protection Talisman after I enrolled in school, so I don't have any strong emotional attachment to the item itself. It's just that, how should I put it, it's kind of a pillar of my spirit. Having it by my side like this makes me feel very at ease."
"So conversely, when I lost it, I felt like something bad was going to happen, and I was very uneasy. If it weren't for my Aragaki, catching it just in time, I would have been frantic when I got back to the dorm and found the Protection Talisman was gone."
At this point, the orange-haired girl's cheeks flushed slightly for some reason.
Protection Talisman are meant to serve this purpose, but in Asahina Nazuna's view, they can also bring good fortune to their owners while protecting them.
This doesn't necessarily refer to a simple romantic relationship between a man and a woman, but rather to the connections between people.
But, sob... why did the Protection Talisman suddenly fly into the hands of a handsome junior?
This is just too strange!
It was almost like a fateful encounter; a chance passing by became the catalyst for our acquaintance.
Perhaps there's a meaningful and wonderful connection between us.
That's why the Protection Talisman suddenly ended up in his hands.
With that thought in mind, the girl wearing the sunflower hair clip parted her lips slightly, deciding to temporarily ignore things like class competition and cherish the present moment.
"Sorry, I got a little carried away and forgot to introduce myself."
"My name is Asahina Nazuna. Thanks to my junior Aragaki, I'm currently a student in Class 2-D."
The girl's purple eyes seemed to sparkle like stars, giving her an air of carefree energy. Even her pointed words lacked any hint of resentment, instead conveying a sense of resigned acceptance.
There was no doubt that the other party had recognized Aragaki Shun's identity.
This is quite normal. It's only natural that all the teachers and students at the entire Advanced Nurturing, except for autistic patients who genuinely don't pay any attention to school information, can recognize themselves at a glance.
After all, he frequently appears on School Forum and is widely recognized by girls as the number one person they most want to date.
Not to mention, the school has just announced the Student Council election, with the two candidates being Aragaki Shun Miyabi Nagumo.
As a member of Class 2-D, just how blind must Asahina Nazuna be if she can't even recognize her biggest rival in the class?
"I'm really sorry," the boy shrugged, making a regretful gesture, "Because of my fight with Nagumo, many people in the second year have been affected, and they'll probably be going through a pretty tough time in the future."
"No! This has nothing to do with Aragaki -kun. That's just Aya's personality. She's a bit too competitive. Once she encounters an opponent she's interested in, she'll rush forward to provoke them without any regard for the consequences."
Asahina Nazuna sighed, looking like she had a headache.
"Even though second graders start school a year later than Third Year, the total number of dropouts is actually higher. I've always felt this is inappropriate, but since his actions are beneficial to the class as a whole, I have no right to persuade him to stop."
"Actually, I've always hoped that someone would stand up and teach him a lesson, so that he would understand that there are always people more capable than him, and that he would try to behave himself and stop thinking about causing trouble."
"I just didn't expect that the one who ultimately took this step would be a junior from a lower grade."
Of course, it would be ideal if Ya could be given a wake-up call without affecting the class's leading position.
Most of the students who come to this school still yearn for the same benefits as those who graduate from Class A, Asahina Nazuna is no exception.
Not to mention, because of Aragaki Shun's targeting, their class actually fell directly from Class A to the lowest-ranked Class D, a situation that left everyone speechless.
"But I had already guessed that, given Ya's style of doing things, he would eventually run into a brick wall."
