Classroom of the Elite: I Can Add Points Without Limit

"Puff--!!!"

Upon hearing this sarcastic remark, even Koenji, who was leisurely sipping his coffee, couldn't help but spit it all out.

Ryuen Kakeru was also dumbfounded, feeling an endless burst of inspiration in his mind.

You bastard, you really are in the same circle as those sneaky photographers in Class D!

I, Ryuen Kakeru, pride myself on being wicked and ruthless, but I have to admit I'm ruthless in this respect!

305. Ryuen had to kneel and beg for food; the actions of Koenji Rokusuke.

"I've only given you the example that's easiest for you to understand."

Faced with Ryuen Kakeru's amazed gaze, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka continued to explain calmly:

"Besides feminine hygiene products, other items like Christmas essentials, certain light novels and comic books popular with boys, and popular snacks... as long as a product has a fixed audience at a specific time, you can profit by buying low and selling high."

Of course, this kind of operation requires a lot of intelligence gathering. They need to figure out the consumption patterns of all the teachers and students in the school before they can choose to target goods that are available in suitable quantities but have a steady stream of regular buyers.

If the quantity is too large, Class 1-B definitely can't handle it; if there's a lack of regular buyers, raising the price will likely result in unsold inventory and losses.

"Therefore, my suggestion is to start by targeting entertainment-oriented items with a fixed audience, such as light novels, comics, and snacks."

First and foremost, it must be mentioned that the total number of students at the Advanced Nurturing, including faculty, staff, and students, is only around one thousand.

In this situation, most shops on campus are actually operating at a loss.

Of course, shops that can acquire operating rights through Advanced Nurturing certainly don't care about the revenue that such a small amount of foot traffic can bring, and have long been prepared to suffer losses.

However, every little bit of cost reduction is beneficial, and the boss isn't going to be taken advantage of; he'll naturally decide the quantity of goods to purchase based on the actual situation.

For example, non-essential items like light novels, comics, and snacks are not included in the school's designated free area. Stores typically only order based on the previous period's sales volume, and even if there is a surplus, it certainly won't be much left over.

In this way, their class can buy up all the goods as soon as the store updates its stock, and then sell them to their regular customers at a slightly higher price, thus making a profit.

"Not choosing feminine hygiene products?" Ryuen Kakeru teased playfully. "I think these things are quite profitable, and they can even boost your reputation on campus."

The Masterpiece remained unmoved by Ryuen-boy's attitude, calmly outlining its plans:

"If we're going to choose these kinds of items, then naturally we should get the girls in the class to do it; otherwise, the buyers would probably prefer to use the items in the free section."

As for reputation and such, Ayanokoji said he didn't care. Why bother about something that never existed?

Moreover, it wasn't him who was going to implement it; he had only made a feasible suggestion. The final decision naturally had to be Koenji Rokusuke.

The chaebol heir being watched had a strange expression on his face, and stated his position without hesitation:

"No! No! No! This is too unseemly, I absolutely will not agree to it!"

He truly hadn't expected that Dietman Ayanokoji, the son of a prominent figure in politics and the Masterpiece of the White Room, would propose such a despicable scheme.

But even if the other party is shameless, Beautiful Brother still needs to maintain his demeanor as a wealthy young master.

Otherwise, if he were to actually buy a large quantity of feminine hygiene products at this school and then resell them at high prices, it would probably take only two days for the many upper-level members of Sakurajima who have been paying close attention to this area to spread the news far and wide.

He absolutely cannot afford to lose face like that!

Seeing that Ryuen Kakeru seemed to want to say something, Koenji Rokusuke waved his hand and took charge unilaterally.

"Give up, Ryuen-boy. Making money this way, even if you succeed, will be a losing proposition. It's completely unnecessary."

Ultimately, this kind of buy-low-sell-high behavior can only be exploited by taking advantage of a time difference the first time.

Monopolizing women's menstrual products does indeed offer considerable profit potential.

After all, while these daily necessities can be obtained in the free zone, just as normal people don't like eating Mountain Vegetable Set Meal, any girl who is particular about hygiene would not want to use those inferior menstrual products in the free zone.

If Class 1-B can really buy up all the relevant paid items, then by slightly raising the prices, they should be able to make a profit.

The problem is that, like the Zero-Point Strategy, this method of testing the limits of the rules can only work the first time. After that, once someone complains to the Student Council, the school's iron fist will immediately come down.

"We have absolutely no influence in the Student Council. Nobody knows how Aragaki Boy will handle this situation. The class's current situation is not optimistic, so doing less and making fewer mistakes is the right thing to do."

"So, we can only exploit the time difference and take advantage of the system once?" Ryuen Kakeru frowned, a strange sense of irritation rising in his heart. "Sure enough, it's quite troublesome for those who exploit loopholes in the rules to deal with those who make and modify them."

If he were still the leader of Class 1-C, he would probably be thinking about how to seize the opportunity to make a fortune right now, wouldn't he?

Even if it's just a one-off deal, and you can't use it again after the first use, you should still act quickly and get your Private Points first.

After all, all it takes is taking some risks and abandoning any pre-existing sense of shame to make a fortune before the school rules change, so why not give it a try!

The problem is that he's not currently in charge of Class B...

"Therefore, in order to implement this measure, we must first establish connections with the Student Council and reach an understanding with Aragaki Shun."

The Masterpiece spoke again, directly pointing out the key elements of success. "First, determine the profit-sharing with the Student Council, then have our classmates personally buy low and sell high, and then after this operation is over, Aragaki-kaicho will immediately step in to formulate new rules to eliminate this loophole..."

In this way, Class 1-B, acting as the bad guys, benefited, while the Student Council, acting as the good guys, gained advantages and achievements, and both sides could have a bright future.

This is the union of power and wealth, something that both Ayanokoji and Koenji, given their status, were very familiar with.

"If we agree with him that the expenses for Class 1-A will be fully refunded, and the other classes will split the profits 30/70, then this might actually work."

Ultimately, Ayanokoji never imagined that she could monopolize a certain product at this school for long; such a fantasy was simply unrealistic!

His suggestion was simply to find an opportunity to make money once to fill the class's financial hole.

We don't need much; just another seven or eight million will be enough for Class 1-B to pay off the transfer loan for the three students over ten months.

Otherwise, if things develop to the point where the class has to give up a transfer student... Although Ryuen Kakeru is more likely to be abandoned, given his reputation for being implicated in the secret filming incident, it's not impossible that he could become the victim.

It can only be said that there are very few high-quality suckers like Miyabi Nagumo.

It's such a waste that such an Advanced Nurturing such a person, and then he was expelled from school early by Aragaki Shun, without fully exploiting his potential.

"A 30/70 split..." Ryuen Kakeru's lips twitched, and he asked through gritted teeth, "Does that 70% belong to us?"

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka remained silent, offering no answer to this foolish question.

Dream on!

Upon seeing this, the gang leader's face instantly became even more distorted.

So he has to beg on his knees? And even then, whether he gets any food depends on that bastard's attitude!!

The Masterpiece said he didn't care; pride is something you have to lose when you have to. He's bowing his head now, as long as he wins in the end.

However, neither of them has the ultimate decision-making power over Class 1-B. No matter how much they say or how good their plans are, it ultimately depends on whether Koenji Rokusuke is willing to adopt them.

"No! No! No!" Without much thought, the blond chaebol heir shook his head, rejecting their idea. "Doing something so indecent during a holiday that would offend the entire school is simply too unseemly."

However, since the subordinate's feasible plan was rejected, a more suitable alternative should naturally be offered.

Otherwise, a leader who only gives orders but cannot solve substantive problems is no better than a mascot who does nothing.

"I have an even more beautiful idea..."

Time quickly came to December 25th, Christmas Day.

After assigning the Student Council tasks, Aragaki Shun went to the fountain in the shopping mall, where he met Hasebe Haruka, who was looking around nervously.

An amused smile appeared on his face. He instinctively slowed his pace and tried to keep his presence low. So, until he was within a meter of the girl with Blue Long-Haired Girl, Hasebe didn't notice that the person he was waiting for had quietly approached him.

In Aragaki Shun's eyes, the girl seemed to be playing some strange game, glancing around from time to time to see if there were any familiar classmates on the roadside, and every now and then she would lower her head and open her phone to browse something.

The boy glanced over instinctively and saw a dating notebook with a very simple plan.

Meet at 12 o'clock → Have lunch → Watch a movie → Shopping → Confess your love under the legendary tree → Give a gift...

Below these headings are various details, such as what's a good lunch, what movies are available today, what gift to give after a successful Christmas confession... all of which fill several pages of the notes.

It's safe to say that the girl had done her homework for this date.

He smiled silently, Aragaki Shun took two steps back, making his presence naturally apparent.

Am I too late?

"Oh no, it's still early before the agreed time. I was being a bit too hasty."

Upon discovering that her date had arrived, Hasebe Haruka blushed, somewhat embarrassed, and turned off her phone, waving her hands behind her back as if unsure of what to do next.

At this point, it was naturally Aragaki Shun's turn to take the initiative.

So he stepped forward and took the girl's hand, giving her no chance to back down.

Of course, Hasebe only struggled subconsciously, his coy and reluctant attitude was quite obvious.

"It's about time, let's go have lunch..."

Since the girl had taken the time to do her homework, Aragaki Shun would not let her efforts go to waste.

So for the next period of time, the two of them followed the plan outlined in her notebook: having lunch, watching movies, shopping...

Overall, the date was quite enjoyable, as both parties were mutually attracted to each other.

The only unexpected thing was encountering some strange people doing strange things along the way.

"Katsuragi?" The Leader of Class A raised an eyebrow, looking at the Baldy from Class B who was selling Christmas souvenirs with a strange expression. "Your stuff here not only doesn't go up in price, but you're even offering a 10% discount?"

Yes, standing in front of Aragaki Shun and Hasebe were several Class 1-B, led by Katsuragi Kohei.

Behind this group of people was a shop that had temporarily opened during the winter break. Like the fortune-telling activities during the summer vacation, it was a shop that the school had specially invited from outside to help ordinary students who could not leave the school for three years to relieve their boredom.

This shop sells Christmas specialties. It was operating normally yesterday, but today the entire stock was bought up by Class 1-B. Then there's the makeshift stall set up by Katsuragi Kohei Aragaki Shun.

The goal of this group is easy to understand: to monopolize Christmas merchandise, then sell it at higher prices to make a profit.

The problem is that the unit price of these goods is actually 10% lower than yesterday?

"This is interesting!"

With a half-smile, Aragaki Shun glanced at the stall, then left with the words, "Have Koenji come to the Student Council tomorrow morning," before taking the blue-haired girl's hand and departing.

"The actions of Class B," Hasebe Haruka a strand of hair behind her ear, looking at the man beside her with some curiosity, "Shouldn't we be concerned?"

"It's nothing serious, Koenji Rokusuke should know what he's doing."

Aragaki Shun looked completely unconcerned.

If someone really lacks discretion, he wouldn't mind kicking them out of Advanced Nurturing.

"Now that shopping is over, it's time for our date to move on to the next stage."

In order to make time to spend with Hasebe, the boy specially organized a large-scale event that would benefit all the students in the school.

Undoubtedly, the event, which officially started yesterday, was a great success, perfectly diverting the attention of many girls from him.

For example, Aragaki Shun specifically scheduled Ichinose Honami's communication with the outside world for today, so that the girl could video chat with her mother and sister during Christmas.

In this way, the other party will naturally not come out of jealousy.

After all, they're both in the same school, so there will be plenty of opportunities for them to date in the future.

For the girl, what's more important now is naturally facing her mother and younger sister, whom she hasn't seen for more than half a year.

"..."

Sensing that Aragaki Shun seemed somewhat impatient, Hasebe Haruka her head, as if she wanted to bury her entire flushed face into people's hearts.

According to the plan, her next step was to confess her feelings to the boy under the legendary tree, and after successfully establishing a relationship, they would exchange gifts.

If she fails... it's impossible for her to fail. That womanizer Xiaoshun clearly has no intention of letting her go!

In short, the two will definitely become a real couple.

After that, her plan will be successfully completed, and she doesn't know where Xiaoshun will take her...

306. Using a big name as a shield; some things don't need evidence.

I spent my first tumultuous night with Hasebe Haruka.

No wonder he's a regular number one on some ranking list in Class D.

It should be said that the girl with long, Blue Long-Haired Girl hair possesses a level of popularity that few in the entire first year, or even in Advanced Nurturing, can match.

Previously, some lovers suspected that he had a particular fondness for smaller women, but now the "philanthropist" can finally respond with confidence: big has its advantages, and small has its charm; as long as the overall look is harmonious and pleasing to the eye, and feels right, he likes them all.

As his biological clock spurred him on, Aragaki Shun fussed with the still-drowsy Hasebe for a while after waking up in the morning, finally getting him back to sleep.

Only after leaving the apartment feeling refreshed and recalling his date with the girl with long, Blue Long-Haired Girl the previous afternoon, did the Student Council President finally have time to return to his loyal Student Council.

"Good morning, Aragaki-kun. Did you have a good Christmas yesterday?"

When the door to the Student Council's private office was pushed open, a wave of warm air, mixed with the smell of paper and hot coffee, rushed out.

Outside the window, the fine snow left over from last night had not yet melted, its silvery white outlines jagged patterns along the window frame; inside, the Venetian blinds were half-closed, and sunlight was sliced into thin golden strips, falling obliquely onto the dark brown solid wood floor.
