Classroom of the Elite: I Can Add Points Without Limit
[Himeno Yuki]: "Then it's settled. When you register, Ichinose, we'll accept your application from Class 1-A. We suggest you reject everyone else's applications."
[Ichinose Honami]: "Huh? That seems a bit much. In any case, we still need to add Class 1-C, Class 1-D, the class that Kiriyama -senpai is in, and the class that Horikita-senpai is in."
So you're planning to include our class, the three affiliated classes, and our ally, Class A of the Third Year?
Are they planning to abandon the remaining seven classes?
Ichinose Archangel, you seem to be a bit of a fangirl with a dark side!
The onlookers couldn't help but complain inwardly, but since their own interests were at stake, they naturally couldn't let a few idiots actually ruin their benefits.
In an instant, the sentiment on the forum shifted, and those anonymous individuals were immediately condemned by everyone online.
[Class 2-A Member]: "A bunch of haters. If you have the guts, speak your mind. Which class should step forward? I'll bring some people to give you some warmth."
[Class 2-B Members]: "You idiots, hurry up and take back your nonsense! Aragaki-kaicho is using his own money to give away benefits to all the students, and you guys are going to ruin this great thing, aren't you?!"
[Members of Class 3-B]: "These people are definitely not from the Third Year. We each spent 250,000 Private Points on Nagumo before, so we definitely won't be petty about this."
[Class 3-C Member]: "I suggest opening the box. The Student Council should have the authority to find these little people. If Private Points are needed, we can all share some."
[Class 3-D Member]: "Damn it! If anyone makes it so I can't see my parents and sister again, I'll f***ing kill them!"
With a senior student in the Third Year taking the lead, the number of words that needed to be blocked on the School Forum increased, all of which were specifically used to insult anonymous users. Soon, these minority groups with ulterior motives were routed.
Then, led by Kiriyama Ikuto from Class 2-C, a large group of people began shouting online, "We can never repay Aragaki-kaicho's kindness!"
"We absolutely mustn't cancel the event because of those few bad apples!"
"From now on, I'll fight anyone who dares to say the chairman is wrong!"
"Aragaki-kaicho Chiaki!"
"The only light in Advanced Nurturing!"
"..."
304. Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's underhanded tactics: monopolizing women's menstrual products.
"Great! Excellent! Very good! It seems I'm quite popular in Advanced Nurturing. We should organize more of these kinds of welfare activities in the future."
In the Student Council President's office, Aragaki Shun rested his chin on his hand, watching with great interest the ongoing campaign against the kuroko on the School Forum, a look of pleasure naturally appearing on his playful face.
With a light laugh, the Student Council President rose from his seat, glanced around at his subordinates who were furiously wreaking havoc online, shook his head with satisfaction, and then clapped his hands a few times to wake them up.
"Alright, with nearly 10 billion people in the world, every place has its share of weirdos who don't know anything. You don't need to get angry with them online; it's a complete waste of time and energy."
After all the Student Council members turned to look at him, the boy first calmed down the still angry crowd, then abruptly changed the subject:
"The Student Council also has the authority and responsibility to manage campus online civility. Things are quite chaotic right now. If you're still not satisfied, you can find an opportunity later to reasonably ban those anonymous accounts."
To be honest, Aragaki Shun really didn't expect there to be quite a few idiots in this school.
Provoking the Student Council president in the face of an official announcement from the Student Council President?
What kind of thought process is this, or does it mean they simply don't have a brain?
Do they really think anonymity will solve everything? That just shows they're very good at burying their heads in the sand!
"Understood. I'll keep a close eye on these anonymous individuals and make sure they learn a lesson they'll never forget."
Momiyama, the former leader of Class D in the second year, stepped forward. As the Student Council's Cultural Committee Member, he was responsible for planning and organizing cultural and recreational activities. With the absence of Publicity Committee Member, he could also keep an eye on the chaotic scene on the School Forum.
Aragaki Shun nodded, not paying much attention to such a trivial matter, and quickly put it out of his mind.
He specifically organized this [In-School Student External Welfare Activity], partly to divert attention from the restlessness caused by Christmas and New Year, and partly to provide an outlet for his classmates to alleviate their homesickness.
Frankly speaking, the students from other classes were just there incidentally.
After all, they spent so much money to buy the corresponding permissions, so it wouldn't be a bad choice to take the opportunity to win people's hearts as well.
As for the specific degree of effectiveness?
That doesn't really matter!

Even if it has no effect at all, it can still serve as a demonstration of the power he wields after becoming Student Council President.
Whether you bestow favors or establish authority, you'll gain something by achieving either goal.
In this process, it's not necessarily a bad thing if a clown suddenly appears.
With Class 1-A as his base, the other three classes as his subordinates, and the stable alliance of Class A of the Third Year, the overall situation of Advanced Nurturing Aragaki Shun always been in his hands.
It's just moral blackmail. Even if he says nothing, there will be plenty of people standing up for him!
"In short, everyone should just focus on making this event a success. There's no need to pay attention to those insignificant people."
After calmly making this conclusion, Aragaki Shun glanced at the pink-haired Archangel beside him, whose expression showed a hint of anxiety and worry, and after thinking for a moment, reminded him:
"If you're in a hurry to connect with your relatives and friends, you can put your names at the front of the line when you register tomorrow morning at 9:00. As for maintaining order, you can ask the students from Class 1-A to help."
"Of course, the classmates who come to help should also be given preferential treatment; they should be prioritized in the order of contacting others."
Does that sound a bit unfair?
But as mentioned before, this event has always been a welfare project organized by Aragaki Shun himself, with the Student Council Member contributing their time and effort.
Since the latter has put in effort and hard work, it is only natural that they should receive preferential treatment. We can't expect them to work for free under the guise of serving the public, can we?
Meanwhile, as several anonymous accounts were banned, the fierce battle on the School Forum gradually subsided.
But behind the scenes, the controversy surrounding this event not only didn't stop, but instead seemed to be escalating.
Across the three grades and twelve classes, students throughout the entire school suddenly erupted in long-suppressed screams.
"Finally, I can connect with the outside world and video chat with my family!"
"Ten minutes of bonus time isn't enough. I need to think about what to say tomorrow... There's so much I want to say, maybe I should just pay for an extra 20 minutes!"
"They've given us such amazing benefits right from the start! Aragaki-kaicho is a god forever!"
"There can only be one sun in the sky, and in my heart, there is only one sun: Aragaki-kaicho..."
In the dormitory area of Class 1-B, listening to the roaring revelry coming from all around and even from the floors above and below, Katsuragi Kohei looked away from the School Forum and couldn't help but sigh:
"Aragaki is truly an admirable Student Council President. Even though we in Class B are his rivals, we have to acknowledge this favor this time."
"Those anonymous individuals were really going too far. Not only were they ungrateful, but they even tried to stir up more trouble. It seems the school's moral education needs improvement."
Totsuka Yahiko had just discovered his account had been banned. "..."
"Yahiko, what do you think?"
"Ah? Ha~ Brother Katsuragi is right..."
Upon hearing the question, the green-haired boy immediately broke out in a cold sweat. If it weren't for an email that Katsuragi received on his phone, which diverted the other party's attention, the scumbag things he had done in a moment of madness might have already been exposed.
"Huh? Koenji actually made this decision?"
Katsuragi Kohei seemed quite surprised by the information in the email, and his usually composed face instinctively revealed an excitement that was completely different from his usual demeanor.
Upon seeing this, Totsuka Yahiko breathed a sigh of relief and immediately opened his phone's email interface, where he saw a somewhat unexpected notification—
"Koenji actually allowed every student in the class to contribute 20,000 Private Points from the class fund account for this event?"
This is truly surprising.
You should know that Class 1-B is currently in a phase of saving every penny. The Private Points the class receives from the school each month, apart from barely enough for living expenses, are all deposited into the class fund account to offset the monthly expenditure of 6 million Transfer Ticket.
Now, a one-time expenditure of 20,000 Private Points for all 38 students would amount to 760,000 points, which is definitely an expenditure that needs to be treated with caution for the financial situation of Class 1-B.
Not to mention, this money will ultimately be handed over to their primary enemy, that insurmountable peak.
From a rational standpoint, this is absolutely an unreasonable decision.
Only...
As the class fund administrator for Class 1-B, Katsuragi Kohei hesitated for a moment, but ultimately said nothing.
Not only did his classmates, who were eagerly submitting their applications to him, have no reason to oppose the decision, but even he himself had no reason to oppose it.
Or rather, if Koenji really does nothing, the already low morale of Class B will probably drop even further.
This intangible concept might be more important to a team in difficult times than tangible financial reserves.
"With eight million Private Points, one can apply to the school for permission to contact the outside world during winter break, and then transfer or sell this permission to others?"
After receiving the email sent by Koenji to all members of the class, Ryuen Kakeru immediately pulled Ayanokoji Kiyotaka along and found the chaebol heir who was being fawned over by several Third Year female students in a coffee shop.
After the annoying women left on their own, the highly competitive Ryuen-boy immediately asked his question:
"Do all students have the same qualifications, or is it that only the Student Council President can so arbitrarily change school rules?"
Ryuen Kakeru cares a lot about this!
Because he discovered a highly feasible path to quick wealth—
During this event, Aragaki Shun priced the paid time at 10,000 Private Points for 5 minutes, with four affiliated or close classes receiving a 50% discount, and the first -Class 1-A and all Student Council Member getting it for free.
If you include the initial 10-minute bonus time given to all students with Advanced Nurturing, this pricing method is actually quite generous.
After all, it can't really be free for everyone. If we did that, some shameless people would probably spend an hour or two each day in a specific classroom trying to contact the outside world. In that case, most people would have no chance to participate in the event even if they queued up until the end of winter break.
Of course, what Ryuen Kakeru values most is that even with so many discounts, Aragaki Shun will most likely still make a profit from this event, at most a little less!
To put it bluntly, Class 1-B was probably the most financially strapped class in the entire school, but even so, Koenji still allowed each student in the class to contribute 20,000 Private Points to this event.
After Miyabi Nagumo dropped out of school, Advanced Nurturing still had 434 students left. Among them, Class A of the Third Year was the richest, while the other three classes had just inherited most of Nagumo's estate and had plenty of Private Points.
In this way, the eight million that Aragaki Shun spent on purchasing the privileges might be recouped quickly, and after the event ends, there might even be a chance to earn another one or two million.
It's important to understand that this conclusion was reached after that person provided a significant amount of free time and, incidentally, offered discounts to classes with connections.
If it were him doing the exploitation, he could easily extract Twenty Million Personal Points from the entire student body with just one event like this.
The thought of this possibility filled Ryuen Kakeru with excitement.
However, the next moment, cold water was poured down on Koenji Rokusuke without any politeness.
"... After seeing what Aragaki Boy did, I asked Mashima and several school officials. The conclusion was: it's feasible to directly purchase certain permissions from the school, but without the Student Council's legal right to change school rules, doing this with Private Points alone would be a huge loss."
Simply put, because Aragaki Shun is the Student Council President, he was able to use the excuse of "opening up new possibilities for Advanced Nurturing" to obtain the right to contact the outside world during the winter break for only eight million yen.
But if an ordinary student were to lead this kind of thing, the price would become 20 million, which is the same as canceling the expulsion penalty and permanently transferring to another class.
Even if they dedicate their entire winter break to this, their final return might barely cover their costs.
Similarly, purchasing other similar permissions is the same situation, leaving one to lament that they are ultimately useless.
"It's obvious that the school won't allow students to easily amass a large number of Private Points through means other than class competition. Even if Aragaki Shun organized this event, he had to take a step back and give up most of the theoretically possible benefits by offering bonus time."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka suddenly spoke, a strange expression appearing on his usually expressionless, zombie-like face.
"Of course, even if the financial gains aren't substantial, he can still reap considerable intangible benefits by organizing this event. It can only be said that this was indeed an excellent move."
These intangible benefits include the cohesion of Class 1-A, the favor bestowed upon affiliated classes, the goodwill with Class A of the Third Year as an ally, and the ability to win over other classes while demonstrating his power as Student Council President... Undoubtedly, that person's influence in the Advanced Nurturing has further increased.
"Is there really no other way?"
Ryuen Kakeru frowned slightly; he had no intention of giving up this hard-won path to wealth.
"According to Mashima, if the event organized by Aragaki Boys is a great success, the school will take the relevant experience into account and approve the relevant changes to the school rules. In the future, if ordinary students want to purchase this privilege, the price will be completely reduced to eight million Private Points."
This means that if the event fails, the school will consider the attempt incorrect, and everything will revert to the way it was.
Even if the event is successful and the school rules are changed, it will be after the winter break, and the next long break will be when the Third Year graduates.
Putting aside the fact that distant water can't quench immediate thirst, the key issue is that the Third Year have already graduated. Even if they spend eight million to preemptively secure the right to contact the outside world, with only the remaining eight—no, seven—classes working themselves to the bone to break even, they won't earn much.
"So, the path of raising funds to buy access from schools and then selling it to ordinary students has been cut off?"
Ryuen Kakeru punched his head hard, feeling extremely unwilling. The class had a considerable amount of savings, but it was completely useless!
If things continue like this, they'll be living off their savings without finding new sources of income. Once the class funds are exhausted and their Transfer Ticket expire, their only option will be to be forced to leave the Advanced Nurturing in a sorry state.
"Actually, if the goal is to make a profit by reselling goods, it's not necessarily necessary to buy the school's authorization. Monopolizing a certain daily necessity in a shopping mall might achieve a similar effect."
In the silence, the Masterpiece of the White Room suddenly offered another idea, which immediately brightened Ryuen Kakeru's eyes.
"Explain in detail!"
"For example, we could buy up all the shopping mall's stock of feminine hygiene products that women change every day, and then we wouldn't have to worry about selling them at high prices."
