Classroom of the Elite: I Can Gain Unlimited Points

As the initial fervor subsided, people quickly stopped paying much attention to this completely vanished loser, shifting their focus to another significant matter closely related to their lives—

That is the handover ceremony for the Student Council, which will be held on December 21st.

According to the normal procedure, Aragaki Shun Miyabi Nagumo were supposed to hold a general election on December 20th to determine the next Student Council President based on the number of votes they each garnered.

But now, wasn't Nagumo, who was another candidate, expelled from school?

Since the competitor was defeated without a fight, the position of Student Council President automatically fell to Aragaki Shun. The school simply skipped the election and held a handover ceremony directly.

Of course, before that, Aragaki Shun still had one thing to do, which was the reckoning and rewarding process after defeating Nagumo.

"Mizowaki- senpai and Tonokawa- senpai, thank you for your contributions to the Student Council. I know that Class 2-D is not doing well right now, so I won't try to keep you here."

In the Student Council office that belonged to Aragaki Shun, the boy accepted the resignation letters handed to him by two of Miyabi Nagumo's confidants and readily signed them in acknowledgment.

Prior to this, all other factions that had once belonged to Miyabi Nagumo in the Student Council had already been wiped out, leaving only the two highest-ranking members who were still trying to struggle.

But after persevering until now, the two finally succumbed to the pressure and had no choice but to give in.

Mizowaki and Tonokawa exchanged a glance, both able to see the bitterness on each other's faces.

If they could, they certainly wouldn't want to be kicked out of the Student Council, but now is a crucial moment of transition between the old and new Aragaki Shun, there are some things they can't resist simply because they don't want to.

Submitting your resignation now allows you to maintain some dignity; if you wait for the other side to take office and start purging people, the future is uncertain.

After all, even Nagumo was tricked into expelling from school, while they only lost their positions and power in the Student Council. Compared to that, it was already a pretty good outcome.

Although they felt helpless, the two could only console themselves with this thought. After taking one last look at the Student Council Activity Classroom, they silently left under the watchful eyes of the others.

"In that case, the only remaining members of the Student Council, including myself, are Suzune, Ichinose, Kamuro, and Ibuki from the Ichinose year, plus Kiriyama Ikuto from the second year, making a total of six people."

After everyone else had left, Aragaki Shun tapped the surface of his desk with his index finger, glanced around at his team members on either side, and felt that the entire Activity Classroom was far too empty.

Apart from Miyabi Nagumo's group of subordinates who voluntarily submitted their resignations due to the principle of "the winner takes all," all the Third Year members, led by Manabu Horikita and Tachibana Akane, also gradually withdrew from Student Council activities before the end of the final semester, as is customary.

"Therefore, we will now need to readjust many of the positions in the Student Council."

With his fingers interlaced and placed below his nose, Aragaki Shun first glanced at the remaining Student Council members, then finally fixed his gaze on the two extra people opposite him.

They were the leaders of the former Class C and Class D in the second year, respectively. According to the agreement made before dealing with Miyabi Nagumo, as the newly appointed Student Council President, Aragaki Shun needed to invite the two to join the Student Council and assign them corresponding positions.

To put it simply, this is about rewarding merit.

"First, Kiriyama's position will be changed from secretary to Executive Committee Chairperson, and Horikita Suzune will assume the position of secretary."

"?"

Kiriyama Ikuto was stunned upon hearing this. The boss had just taken over, how could he have been demoted so quickly?

Of course, he wasn't saying that the position of Executive Committee Chairperson wasn't important.

To be honest, this position is quite valuable.

The Executive Committee Chairperson is responsible for the execution schedule of various tasks assigned by the Student Council, ensuring that activities and tasks such as the Sports Festival and Cultural Festival can proceed smoothly. In special circumstances, they can also directly mobilize volunteers and security forces, making them an absolutely powerful position.

The problem is, he used to be a Party Secretary.

Generally speaking, the most important positions in the Student Council can be summarized into four core roles.

First, there's the Student Council President, who goes without saying. They are the highest decision-maker and external representative, possessing veto power and the authority to make and dismiss personnel in emergency situations. In Advanced Nurturing, they can even reasonably amend school rules and participate in the formulation of rules for Special Exam.

Below the president are the Vice President, usually two in number. They are generally in charge of "operations" and "supervision," respectively. They can act as president and are also candidates for the next president.

Then there was his original role as the Student Council Secretary, responsible for meeting minutes, drafting official documents, managing files, and also overseeing intelligence gathering.

In short, the two secretaries are responsible for the daily records and administrative work of the Student Council. They are similar to the secretariat and are the members closest to the Student Council President, making them the absolute core leadership.

Finally, there are the two accountants responsible for the Student Council's financial management. Their specific duties include recording daily income and expenditure, budget preparation, expense verification, and distributing club stipends, etc. They hold the purse strings for all clubs on campus.

Behind these four core positions are cadres specifically responsible for specific tasks, including the Executive Committee Chairperson, the Disciplinary Committee Chair, the Service Committee Member, the Sports Committee Member, the Cultural Committee Member, and so on.

In large universities, further down the student council, each committee member has the right to recruit subordinate members, usually 1 to 3, who are ordinary members of the Student Council.

Finally, there are class representative councilors, one or two from each class, forming a "Representative Committee" responsible for communication between higher and lower levels, often regarded as the "grassroots branch" of the Student Council.

Of course, the situation at Advanced Nurturing is special, with the entire school having fewer than 500 students. Therefore, the most basic class representative positions are generally not established, and the power of each committee member to recruit subordinates is greatly reduced. Many matters have to be handled by the cadres themselves.

In short, a single job adjustment by Aragaki-kaicho directly removed him from the core of Student Council decision-making and relegated him to a position of executive responsible for specific tasks.

Although the Executive Committee Chairperson Disciplinary Committee Chair are both high-ranking and powerful senior officials, this is still a demotion.

Kiriyama Ikuto hesitated, wanting to say something, but ultimately chose to remain silent under Aragaki Shun's enigmatic gaze.

It's understandable, really. How could a position like secretary, the closest to the Student Council President, be given to a senior student who has only recently joined the student council?

As Aragaki-kaicho naturally needs to promote his trusted confidants to the core management team; otherwise, how could he take over all the power from the previous chairman?

"I understand, I will take over the relevant work as soon as possible."

Unlike Kiriyama, Horikita Suzune, who was the other member nominated, did not have complicated thoughts.

After all, when the girl first joined the Student Council, she was trained according to the role of Tachibana Akane, and she had long known that she would become Aragaki Shun's secretary and assist him in carrying out the work of the Student Council.

"Then it's Ichinose and Kamuro; you two will be the accountants."

As the chairman, he had to keep the money in his hands, so the young man directly assigned two trusted confidants to take over the relevant work.

"Next is the Disciplinary Committee Chair; Ibuki, you'll be in charge of that part of the work."

"Huh? Me?"

The blue-haired athletic girl stared wide-eyed, wondering if she had misheard.

The Disciplinary Committee Chair is responsible for the daily conduct and civility of students. They are dedicated to patrolling the campus, investigating violations, and can apply to the accountant for temporary fines.

How can we expect someone skilled in martial arts and always ready to fight to maintain order on campus?

"That's right, I believe you can handle this heavy responsibility."

Aragaki Shun smiled and nodded, clearly not giving the girl a chance to refuse.

In the end, only Nanpi, the former leader of Class C in the second year, and Momiyama, the former leader of Class D, remained. After thinking for Aragaki Shun gave them each a leadership position.

"Senior Nanpi, from now on you will be the Sports Committee Member, and Senior Momiyama will be the Cultural Committee Member. What do you two think?"

If you ask us for our opinion, of course we wouldn't dare to have one.

The two second-year representatives exchanged a glance, then both stood up and accepted the appointment.

The Sports Committee Member is responsible for organizing and managing sports activities, such as the annual Sports Festival; while the Cultural Committee Member is responsible for planning and organizing cultural and recreational activities to enrich campus cultural life.

These two positions naturally do not have the same daily power as the Disciplinary Committee Chair and the Executive Committee Chairperson, but if they encounter Special Exam, they can gain a significant advantage in advance, so they can be considered barely satisfactory.

Looking back now, the conditions Miyabi Nagumo promised to their two classes were indeed much better than this.

The other party not only signed a contract with them, willing to buy their votes at a price of 500,000 Private Points per student, but also promised to give them core management positions such as accountant and secretary for their two classes after they became Student Council President. They even guaranteed some clauses such as changing school rules and priority class transfer rights.

To put it bluntly, that person really went to great lengths to win the Student Council President election.

Unfortunately, after Nagumo spent all the money he had raised for the class transfer in the second year, his credibility was completely ruined.

Needless to say, compared to Miyabi Nagumo, after talking with Aragaki Shun, they felt that it would be more beneficial for their class's future to have this first-year junior serve as Student Council President.

After all, no matter how much power the other party has, as a first-year student, they still cannot directly interfere with the second-year exams; at most, they can offer advice to Kiriyama Class.

Miyabi Nagumo, however, was in the same grade as them. He had expelled too many students in the second year, and allowing this guy to continue in the Advanced Nurturing would be too dangerous for the students in both classes.

In short, the 500,000 points per vote are indeed tempting, and the core positions in the Student Council are also very attractive, but none of these can compare to what is more important to them than Miyabi Nagumo.

"Including myself, the Student Council currently only has eight members, which is clearly a significant shortfall."

After making arrangements for everyone present, Aragaki Shun looked around the still empty Activity Classroom and decided to continue recruiting from outside.

"Senior Nanpi and Senior Momiyama, the Student Council is currently lacking in grassroots administrative staff. I'm giving each of your classes one spot. After the handover ceremony, you can have suitable candidates come for interviews."

Generally speaking, a fully Advanced Nurturing Student Council should have 21 members.

There are four core members with seven positions, followed by seven committee members who are equivalent to cadres, and finally seven ordinary members who handle miscellaneous tasks and errands.

However, Student Council are rarely full, because there are always a few vacant positions to allow the next batch of freshmen to compete and grow.

For example, the normal promotion path for Student Council President should be from general affairs officer to cadre to secretary to Vice President, and finally to the general election between the two Vice President.

Therefore, Aragaki Shun must leave at least one Vice President position and one secretary position for the next batch of freshmen so that his chosen successor can gradually take over his work.

As for the three vacant positions among the cadres, they are: the Service Committee Member responsible for organizing volunteer activities; the Safety Committee Member responsible for weekly duty arrangements and disaster prevention drills; and the Publicity Committee Member responsible for publicity work such as school publications and broadcasts, and for conveying information and activities of the Student Council.

Well, at Kodo Ikusei Senior High School, these three positions are all dispensable. The duties of the Publicity Committee Member are usually taken over by the Party Secretary, not to mention the other two. So it doesn't matter if they remain vacant.

On the contrary, we need to hire at least two or three people to handle the errands at the grassroots level. Otherwise, it would not be good to let the cadres do all the specific tasks themselves.

As for the question of whether anyone would still be willing to apply for a clerical job, knowing it's just running errands and being a low-level employee?

That's definitely true!

At least Nanpi, who was originally in Class C in the second year, and Momiyama, who was originally in Class D, both gladly accepted the arrangement given to him.

Of course, Kiriyama Ikuto had his own thoughts on this, but he didn't dare to say them aloud, so let's just pretend he didn't.

Once these positions were arranged, the basic framework of the Student Council was completed. Even if all the Third Year members left at once after the handover ceremony, Aragaki Shun would still be able to keep it running.

To prove this point, after all the appointments were completed, Aragaki Shun simply withdrew, allowing the new secretary, Horikita Suzune, to take over the meeting and lead everyone in carrying out the Student Council's daily work.

As for himself, he was keeping an eye on his subordinates while pondering whether to continue recruiting people from the first year.

For example, a candidate who is most suitable to serve as Vice President.

Generally speaking, unless there is a special deal, the Student Council President usually will not support a student of the same grade to serve as Vice President. Not to mention that students of the same grade cannot become successors, the key point is that the appointment and removal of the Vice President must be approved by the school. It would be ridiculous if the other party turned around and betrayed you after you helped them take the position.

However, considering the potential power struggles between the Student Council and the school in the future, he did want to give the Vice President appointment to that person in his class.

295. First meeting with Ayanokoji Atsuomi; I am his insurmountable peak.

After the Student Council finished distributing the cake, Aragaki Shun was about to return to Class A's classroom when his cell phone suddenly rang in his pocket.

Surprisingly, the number displayed was that of Director Kanda.

Normally, unless it's something important, the other party shouldn't contact him first.

"It's been a long time, Shun-kun."

As a solemn voice rang out, the middle-aged man opposite him didn't engage in much small talk but instead went straight to the point:

"Could you please come to the school's reception room? There's someone I think you should see."

Curious about the Director Kanda had mentioned "someone I should meet," Aragaki Shun leisurely made his way to the reception room of the Advanced Nurturing.

This place is no different from a regular reception room, except that it's slightly more upscale, but not deliberately made to be overly luxurious.

When they met Director Kanda, he looked very serious and immediately led Aragaki Shun to an office next door.

"A high-ranking political figure will be visiting the school later, ostensibly to see his son. You should know his son; he's Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, Class 1-B."

Upon hearing this, Aragaki Shun finally understood why Kanda was acting this way.

As a boarding school, Advanced Nurturing is nominally not allowed to allow parents to contact their children privately, but this rule, of course, has no effect on the truly powerful and wealthy.

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's father was Ayanokoji Atsuomi, the creator of the White Room.

The key point is that Ayanokoji Atsuomi belongs to Naoe Jinnosuke, who is the strongest rival for the prime ministership against the Councilor Kijima behind the Advanced Nurturing Foundation.

It was also in order to compete with the Advanced Nurturing training system that Naoe specifically instructed Ayanokoji Atsuomi to create the White Room.

In short, the relationship between Ayanokoji Atsuomi and many of the directors of Advanced Nurturing High School can be seen as that of mortal enemies who are both heretics.

The other party came with a clearly fabricated excuse; they definitely have ill intentions.

"Let's listen to what they have to say first, then we can go out."

With that, Director Kanda turned on the computer on the desk next to him, and after a few casual operations, the view of the reception room and the outside corridor appeared on the screen.

Hmm, it's really something that Advanced Nurturing like to install surveillance cameras everywhere... But the reception room isn't exactly a private space anyway, so with such a large camera just sitting there openly, no one can really say anything.

Shaking his head, Aragaki Shun didn't dwell on it any longer, instead turning his attention to the reception room, because someone had entered—

The man leading the group was around sixty years old. Aragaki Shun had seen him before at the entrance ceremony and the first semester's graduation ceremony; he was indeed the school's principal.

But his expression was anything but composed; cold sweat beaded on his forehead as he served tea and water to a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, like a lackey.

He was a middle-aged man dressed impeccably in a suit, with a slightly aged face, but his eyes were as sharp as a well-sharpened knife.

Without a doubt, he was none other than Aragaki Shun, Ayanokoji Atsuomi.

Yes, the oppressive aura is indeed quite strong. Both the principal and the Acting Board Chairman next to him look like they are facing a formidable enemy.
