Classroom of the Elite: I Can Gain Points Without Limit, Chapter 225

She just likes those athletic, handsome guys who are physically gifted and have a great feel for running on the field. What's wrong with that?

Shinohara Satsuki's lips twitched slightly. She felt that her friend had really fallen for her. She looked exactly like a lovestruck girl in the rumors.

"Hey~ Maya, everyone understands what you're thinking, but you're not serious, are you?"

Mori Nene had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, "The competition on Aragaki's side is too fierce. We ordinary girls should just watch from the sidelines and not actually get involved."

It's not surprising that a close friend likes Aragaki; everyone in the group knows it.

But you're not just someone who's attracted to good looks. Did you hear at the beginning of the semester that he was sweeping through the upperclassmen in various competitive clubs, so you went to join the fun, only to suddenly fall for him?

Listen to my sister's advice: for guys like that, we should just be fangirls and admire them; don't actually try to climb the social ladder.

"Hmm~ I think it's worth a try. What if I get lucky and actually get noticed?"

Shinohara Satsuki took a sip of milk to moisten her dry lips. "Look at you guys, among Aragaki- kun's girlfriends, Shiranami Chihiro, Wang Meiyu, and Ibuki Mio are just pretty ordinary girls. At least Megumi and Chiaki are definitely cuter than them."

The girl didn't mention herself, but she certainly believed in herself that she was no less capable.

In short, it doesn't hurt to give it a try. After all, there are so many supporters for Aragaki -san at school, so it's not hard to understand why she wants to date him, right?

Just like how so many upperclassmen and female students in the same year sent love letters to Aragaki-kun inviting him to Christmas, they were acting with the mindset that it would be best if it succeeded, but it would be normal if it didn't.

It might seem shameless for a girl to think this way, but since everyone is doing it, of course you should throw away your inhibitions and take the plunge.

Even if they fail and don't end up in a romantic relationship, having the chance to spend a night with an exceptionally handsome guy is still a wonderful experience worth remembering... In any case, they don't lose out.

Faced with her friend's idea of letting loose, Matsushita Chiaki shook her head, her expression a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

"Satsuki, if you're going to get horny, it's best to stay in your dorm alone..."

Of course, this was just a suggestion; in reality, the girl completely understood her friend's little scheme.

Just as teenage boys look forward to encountering all sorts of beautiful women, teenage girls experiencing their first stirrings of love also yearn for a romantic encounter with a handsome prince.

I want to be hugged, I want to be cherished, I want to be possessed!

Even Matsushita himself, when falling asleep alone at night, would occasionally have some erotic fantasies.

She's just more rational; she knows the difference between reality and imagination, and won't get too caught up in the froth she can't grasp.

But if one day, Aragaki actually takes the initiative to pursue her, she really can't guarantee that she won't fall for him.

Even setting aside other emotional factors and considering only reality, after entering the Advanced Nurturing, the girl's dream transforms into studying at a top overseas university, working in an embassy, and then going to the United Nations... This is a path to success that even graduating from Class A does not guarantee.

In any case, her family was well-off, but only well-off; her grades were generally in the top 10%-20% of the more than one hundred students in the first grade, but that was about all she could achieve.

Without an Advanced Nurturing mentor, it would be extremely difficult for her to achieve her pre-enrollment dream of becoming a flight attendant for an international airline or working for a large, top-tier company, relying solely on her own efforts.

In this situation, being able to date a guy who is incredibly capable, comes from an extraordinary family, is top-notch in looks, and has a compatible personality would definitely be a dream come true for the future.

Of course, there's something even more important: she's very curious!

I always felt that person's performance since entering school was a bit too extraordinary. Is it really possible for a human to achieve such a level?

Although she had been planning to follow a steady path in life, the girl actually harbored a desire to seek adventure.

If I could, I would love to uncover the truth and find that mysterious place that none of my classmates know about.

However, when it comes to actually taking action, there's an instinctive hesitation, since the consequences are unknown.

With this in mind, Matsushita Chiaki's eyes flickered slightly as he suppressed his suicidal impulses.

I just don't know how much longer I can endure this...

"Ichinose, Kamuro, and Suzune, would you like to talk to or video chat with your family outside?"

After lunch, Aragaki Shun didn't go back to his dorm. Instead, he went straight to the Student Council Office and called over several Student Council Member who were free, Ichinose Honami, Horikita Suzune, and Kamuro Masumi.

In the future, love letters from many female classmates and even senior girls will be stored in the drawer. Seeing the pink-haired girl puffing out her cheeks in a bit of jealousy, the boy thought for a moment and then dropped a bombshell.

"Aragaki-kun, what do you mean?"

"Oh? If I had the chance, I definitely wouldn't refuse."

"Contact the outside world? Can something like that be done so easily?"

Seeing the three girls' responses—some excited, some surprised, and some puzzled— Aragaki Shun smiled slightly, appearing confident.

"As the Student Council President, my power is limitless. If I want to do something, there's absolutely nothing I can't do!"

If power alone isn't enough, then add money; if money isn't enough, then add charisma; and if even charisma fails, then the only option left is for the Advanced Nurturing Board of Directors to experience what true transcendence is.

In short, if he really wants to accomplish something, he will never fail.

Well, let's just consider it a winter break perk for all the students.

Christmas and New Year's should be days for family reunions, but because of the closed system implemented by the Advanced Nurturing, everyone's attention has been focused on dating and romance.

That's not good!

In short, let's try to distract these people.

After all, there's only one Aragaki Shun, and he hasn't yet acquired the extraordinary skill to manage his time effectively, so he simply doesn't have the time to respond to dozens of love letters in a single day.

Although most of them were insignificant, even if he narrowed it down to his acquaintances in the first year or even Class A, he still had a lot to worry about.

It's still not strong enough!

303. The president's kindness can never be repaid; reject moral blackmail.

"Eight million Private Points? That's a bit expensive."

After contacting Director Kanda and making his request, Aragaki Shun quickly received a clear response from him.

The price sounded a bit high, but given his relationship with Kanda, there was no point in continuing to haggle. So, after a moment's thought, the boy decisively transferred eight million.

"From now until the day before the end of winter break, the school must grant me access to make phone and video calls with relatives and friends outside the school, and allow me to transfer or even sell this access to all students on campus."

"Okay, but the specific arrangements won't be finalized until 9:00 AM tomorrow," a gentle voice came from the other end of the phone. "The school will temporarily allocate four empty classrooms and set up dedicated mobile phones and computers for external communication. As for the remaining tasks, such as maintaining order, that should be handled by your Student Council..."

At the end, Director Kanda specifically emphasized a point of attention—students' interactions with the outside world would be monitored from behind the scenes.

The opportunity that Aragaki Shun purchased can only be used to chat with external guardians and friends to let them know that he is safe and sound. He must never intentionally disclose the internal secrets of the Advanced Nurturing, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. In the most serious case, the school will expel the student and pursue legal action against him in accordance with the confidentiality agreement.

Hmm, that does sound demanding, but surely no fool would choose to court disaster under such intense scrutiny from the school?

A flicker of doubt arose in Aragaki Shun's mind, but he immediately dismissed it.

If there really is such an idiot, then whatever fate befalls him is his own fault. He just needs to do his job as Student Council President.

At 4 PM on December 23rd, a broadcast announcement from the Student Council completely disrupted the winter break plans of countless students and faculty, immediately diverting the attention of many who were already caught up in the Christmas excitement.

[Attention all students, this is Student Council Secretary Horikita Suzune.]

[Important Announcement from the Student Council: Following friendly discussions between the newly elected Student Council President Aragaki Shun, and the Advanced Nurturing, the Student Council has successfully obtained the necessary authorization to launch student outreach programs to facilitate In-School Student External Welfare Activity, helping students in need to connect with relatives and friends outside the school.]

[This event is open to all students on campus. The official start time is 9:00 AM on December 24th, and the deadline is 5:00 PM on January 3rd. Students interested should carefully read the detailed requirements and procedures on the School Forum before registering at the Student Council.]

[To reiterate, students who are interested should carefully read the detailed requirements and procedures on the School Forum...]

[To reiterate, for those interested...]

The broadcast ended only after being repeated three times, at which point all the students who had heard the message seemed to awaken from a dream.

After realizing what was happening, students, regardless of whether they needed the information, immediately opened the School Forum on their phones.

Fortunately, the announcement just now was not an April Fool's joke.

As expected, a new banner officially posted by the Student Council has appeared on the homepage. Clicking on it will show details about "[In-School Student External Welfare Activity]".

The notice includes the start and end dates of the activity, which have already been mentioned, followed by detailed requirements and procedures.

After a brief, cursory review, the most important rules that can be summarized are as follows:

--[Article 1: This activity is open to all students of Advanced Nurturing. Every registered applicant will have 10 minutes of free time to use a designated computer or mobile phone in a specific classroom to contact relatives and friends outside the school.]

--[Article 2: After the free time is used up, if a student wants to continue the call, they need to transfer Private Points to a specific account to purchase paid time. The normal price is 10,000 Private Points for 5 minutes. Class 1-C, Class 1-D, Class 2-C, and Class A of the Third Year can enjoy a 50% discount, which is 10,000 Private Points for 10 minutes. Class 1-A and all Student Council Member are free.]

--[Article 3: Due to the large number of students on campus, this event will be held in four designated classrooms. Therefore, those who wish to participate should complete the registration and wait patiently for notification from the Student Council before proceeding to their assigned classrooms to contact the outside world. Cutting in line or disrupting order is strictly prohibited.]

--[Article 4: Students' interactions with the outside world will be monitored by the system. When communicating normally with relatives and friends, students must not disclose highly confidential information about Advanced Nurturing. Otherwise, in the most serious case, the school will expel the student and pursue legal action according to the confidentiality agreement.]

--[Finally, all expenses for this event will be borne by Student Council President Aragaki Shun. If any registered applicant refuses to follow the instructions of Student Council Member or disrupts order during the event, the Student Council reserves the right to remove their registration from the event.]

After reading all these rules, the entire Advanced Nurturing seemed to freeze for a moment, and then in less than thirty seconds, the School Forum's server was almost overwhelmed by the simultaneous onboarding of mobile phones.

Comments flooded the discussion thread for this event, appearing rapidly like dumplings being dropped into a pot, quickly reaching over 99 replies.

Sitting in the Student Council President's office, Aragaki Shun, the organizer of this event, was also keeping a close eye on public opinion on campus, occasionally spotting comments from acquaintances on the forum.

[Katsuragi Kohei]: "Is it really possible to contact the outside world? Can we send gifts from within the school out?"

[Ichinose Honami]: "It's true. As long as you register with the Student Council, you can contact the outside world through a specific channel. However, there are more than 400 people in the whole school. Even if each person only spends 10 minutes of their free time and is divided into four classrooms, it is still a very large number. So please wait according to the arrangements."

[Ichinose Honami]: "As for sending out the gifts from within the school, I'm sorry to disappoint everyone, but this service is not available for this event."

[Katsuragi Kohei]: "No, this has nothing to do with the Student Council. It's just that I was a bit too greedy..."

[Third Year passerby A]: "Ahhh! This is irrelevant. I just want to know if I can register right now? I haven't spoken to my family for almost three years, and I've almost forgotten my parents' voices."

[Third Year passerby B]: "Me too, me too! I can't wait for tomorrow to come. The 250,000 Private Points I got from Nagumo will finally have a use!"

[Manabu Horikita]: "So this is the first achievement of the new Student Council? How thoughtful of you. You guys are even more outstanding than I imagined."

[Class A of the Third Year Member]: "Wow, a 50% discount! Haha~ I never thought we'd get such good treatment from our juniors..."

In the dormitory area of Class 1-B, Baldy with no hair or eyebrows due to alopecia felt his breathing suddenly become heavy.

He lost both his parents at a young age and relied on his sickly twin sister for support, growing up with the help of some relatives.

Therefore, when Katsuragi received the admission notice from Kodo Ikusei Senior High School, he was overjoyed and entered the boarding school alone without hesitation, prepared not to go home for three years.

Even after learning the truth that only graduates of Class A could receive recommendations, and after repeatedly failing in class competitions, he still didn't think his initial choice was wrong.

At least, once I reach the Advanced Nurturing, I do have a chance to stand out.

Moreover, for someone from a poor family like him, the free tuition and living expenses, along with all accommodation and utilities included, were a huge boon.

Not to mention, without his burden, the family's financial situation would improve considerably, and with the help of relatives, his sister's living conditions would be much more comfortable... This was more important to him than anything else.

However, although Katsuragi had carefully studied the school's rules before enrolling, he did not expect that the school rules, which mentioned "not being allowed to leave the school grounds without permission and not being able to contact the outside world during school hours," would be so strict that he could not even send a package.

Katsuragi deeply regretted not being able to celebrate his younger sister's birthday during the summer vacation last semester.

Now the school has actually changed its attitude and is allowing them to openly contact the outside world by phone or video. The Baldy feels like he's dreaming.

"... Is the paid time 5 minutes for 10,000 Private Points?"

Upon seeing the second rule in the event rules, Katsuragi Kohei's face showed a hint of hesitation.

Ten minutes of free time per person is undoubtedly a huge gift, and theoretically he shouldn't ask for more.

Ten minutes is still too short!

Having left home and not seen his sister for over half a year, he had so many things he wanted to say—was his sister alright? Was she eating on time? Was she being bullied outside? How were her studies going...?

In addition, he also wanted to talk to the relatives who were taking care of his sister, and even get the phone number of his sister's school teacher.

Ten minutes isn't enough; if we extend the time further, it will be five minutes for 10,000 Private Points.

He didn't think the price was excessive, it's just that Class B's financial situation was really...

A look of melancholy involuntarily crept onto Katsuragi's face. His green-haired henchman, seeing this, couldn't contain himself and immediately started making a scene on the School Forum.

[Anonymous User A]: "This isn't fair! Why do those four classes get a 50% discount, and the Class 1-A and Student Council Member have no time limit at all, while everyone else has to pay 10,000 Private Points to buy just 5 minutes of time?"

[Anonymous User A]: "Shouldn't these kinds of school activities be fair and just? To so blatantly divide them into different tiers is just too much, isn't it?"

[Anonymous B]: "Right, right? I think so too. It's a rare opportunity for everyone to connect with relatives and friends outside, but 10 minutes is just too short, isn't it?"

[Anonymous C]: "I think that Aragaki-kaicho is exceptionally kind and magnanimous, and also the richest person in the entire school, so he probably doesn't need to have designs on us..."

In the Student Council Activity Classroom, several members who were browsing the School Forum suddenly noticed a few ungrateful oddballs on the floors below who were trying to manipulate public opinion and engage in moral blackmail. They all showed anger.

No doubt about it, we have to go down in the lane and verbally abuse them!

[Ibuki Mio]: "Heh~ A bunch of rats who can't stand the light of day, if you're so capable, then don't participate in the event and do it yourselves!"

[Horikita Suzune]: "This event was subsidized by the president out of her own pocket, with a total of eight million Private Points transferred to the school. It was originally intended as a benefit for classmates and Student Council Member. If you are dissatisfied, I suggest that the president return to her original intentions."

[Kanzaki Ryuji]: "Agreed! There are 48 people in our class now. Even if we split them into 4 classrooms, an hour per person will pass in a day. We don't mind taking up all of those holidays' time, such as Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day."

[Shibata Sou]: "Ah, well, I'm a little embarrassed, but it seems like it would be great to be able to spend an hour every day communicating with my family."
