He did not deny that when the class was integrated at the beginning of the school year, he did indeed use the title of the heir of the Aragaki Family.

After all, Aragaki Shun had promised that if the class failed in the competition and he couldn't lead his classmates to graduate from Class A, he would bear all the losses himself—providing those who couldn't get Advanced Nurturing recommendation with a decent job that could guarantee their future quality of life.

Of course, it wouldn't be credible for an ordinary student to make such boastful claims, so after careful consideration, the boy chose that moment to reveal his identity and background.

There was nothing else to do, so Chairman Sakayanagi simply assigned his daughter, who had a congenital heart defect, to the original Class A, without even putting on an act.

Even if Aragaki Shun, Kanzaki Ryuji, and Koenji Rokusuke contacted the Board of Directors together and slightly limited their power, the relationship between the father and daughter would still remain and could not be severed.

Even if Sakayanagi Narimori does nothing after that, as long as Sakayanagi Arisu writes a perfect essay, "My Board Chairman Father," there will be plenty of people willing to serve him.

Faced with this situation, if Aragaki Shun wasn't going to reveal his background, he might as well have surrendered from the start.

Otherwise, if that little princess were to beckon with just a flick of her finger, a group of traitors might emerge in the class, and even Chie Hoshinomiya teacher who Advanced Nurturing training, could very well lead the rebellion... Perhaps he's overthinking it, but it's best not to test human nature.

Not to mention, the Board of Directors that Aragaki Shun and Koenji were able to profit slightly from their surnames back then was already tacitly approved by the council members; it was compensation given after Sakayanagi Narimori's abuse of power was exposed.

This is why, even though the school knew that Koenji Rokusuke was being kept by many upperclassmen during his second and Third Year and was even trying to exchange cash from outside sources for Private Points, the school turned a blind eye.

It wasn't until Miyabi Nagumo used the Student Council's authority to revise the school rules that this path was completely blocked from him.

"..."

Silence.

Silence remained.

Half a minute later, seeing Ayanokoji Koenji had no intention of speaking, Ayanokouji deliberately sighed and made a conciliatory gesture, although his expressionless face still showed no emotion.

"So, Aragaki-kaicho, what exactly do you want to do by calling us here?"

"Given the established practice of Advanced Nurturing, if you feel our approach is compliant but unreasonable, shouldn't you immediately apply to the school administration to amend the school regulations?"

Just like the Zero-Point Strategy, this tactic, which allows the lowest-ranked Class D to suddenly overtake the highest-ranked Class A, is absolutely unreasonable from the school's perspective.

However, since the existing school rules cannot address this issue reasonably, the student who discovered the loophole cannot be forcibly punished. The only option is to revise the school rules and apply them to similar situations in the future.

"There's no other reason. I called you here simply to express my stance."

Tapping the table with his index finger, Aragaki Shun calmly said, "The school's regulations for Advanced Nurturing do indeed have loopholes in this regard. I have already submitted a relevant application to the Board of Directors, and new regulations should be issued in a couple of days. Until then, I can only offer you some warnings on behalf of the school."

Upon hearing these two sentences, Koenji and Ayanokoji fell into thought, somewhat puzzled.

Express your opinion?

To whom should we express our stance?

Is it the school authorities, or some powerful figures behind them who have been keeping a close eye on this place?

Aragaki Shun offered no explanation, simply clapped his hands, stood up, and gestured for the guest to leave.

"That's about enough. If you have nothing else to say, you can leave now. I still need to go with the school to talk to those shops about the breach of contract."

Because of the established practice at Advanced Nurturing, Koenji and Ayanokoji are not easy to deal with, but the shops that were invited by the school and only have the right to operate during the winter break are not included in this scope.

After all, the school has already established a whole host of rules to restrict these business people, not just school regulations, but also legal contracts, not to mention that Advanced Nurturing itself is a key project of government concern.

It's fair to say that this school has an absolute advantage over the shops that have obtained operating rights—after all, if you don't cooperate, others are eager to do so.

Knowing that Advanced Nurturing businesses won't be profitable, why are those shops still rushing to enter and losing money?

Of course, it's because what these people want to gain is the network of connections they can make through this school.

As a political achievement project directly aimed at reaching Prime Minister of Sakurajima, for those shop owners, finding an opportunity to enter this circle would bring them the greatest benefits that no amount of money could buy.

This is why it's not easy to attract shops that are regularly open in shopping malls and have long-term operating rights.

On the one hand, the backgrounds of this type of business owner are unlikely to be bad; on the other hand, they have no reason to damage the Advanced Nurturing network of relationships they have built up just to gain the favor of some tycoon heirs or privileged children.

Therefore, the shops that Koenji and Ayanokoji sought cooperation with this time were all external business owners who were specially invited during the winter break because of Christmas and New Year.

They only have temporary operating rights, and their cooperative relationship with Advanced Nurturing individuals is not stable. Just like that fortune teller during the summer vacation, they will only appear once this year, and next year they will most likely be replaced by a different group of people.

In such a situation, if the heir to the Koenji Conglomerate and the son of Dietman Ayanokoji suddenly comes seeking help, they would naturally not mind giving him a favor as long as the offer is high enough.

It's just some discounted specialty items anyway. If we can use this opportunity to get in touch with those two big shots, it's worth the risk of breach of contract.

Koenji Rokusuke: "..."

Upon hearing Aragaki Shun's next plan, Beautiful Brother immediately remembered that he seemed to have hinted to the shop owners that all their losses in this incident would be borne by the Koenji Conglomerate.

So, is the Student Council President going to try and take action from this angle?

"I see..." the blond man laughed heartily. "Is this what Aragaki- boy meant by making a statement?"

Regardless of the circumstances, these shops have unilaterally participated in the Advanced Nurturing class competition, clearly violating the contract they signed with the school.

Therefore, those who engage in Advanced Nurturing can naturally be held accountable.

However, how to specifically hold someone accountable depends on whether they are on the scale.

Without weighing it, it's less than four ounces; but once weighed, it's more than a thousand pounds.

If the Student Council President were someone else, the school's higher-ups might choose to turn a blind eye to the fact that the heir to the Koenji Conglomerate and the son of Dietman Ayanokoji, and simply let the matter drop.

But now that Aragaki Shun has stated he will seriously investigate this matter, coupled with Sakayanagi Arisu and Kanzaki Ryuji from Class 1-A... the power behind them is not something to be easily ignored.

In this way, the school's higher-ups naturally wouldn't mind using the power of these entities to find an opportunity to make a fortune.

In short, the Advanced Nurturing will inevitably crack down hard on those defaulting shops, and the losses that would ultimately bankrupt them will likely be borne by the Koenji Conglomerate.

Your child couldn't win a game against other children and opted to spend money on in-game purchases. Here is the bill; please pay.

"Don't take sides if you don't have the ability," Aragaki Shun said calmly, his dark eyes unfathomable. "What do you think?"

Just like last semester, when Hashimoto Masayoshi for Sakayanagi Arisu and almost got expelled—

Since you've arbitrarily entered into someone else's game and blindly joined one side, you should also be prepared to be crushed by the other side if you're not careful.

To prevent other fools from getting involved in the future, Aragaki Shun made it clear to the shop owners: you have indeed connected with the Koenji Conglomerate, but whether you will ultimately have the opportunity to enjoy this good fortune is uncertain.

Koenji, Ayanokoji, Aragaki, Kanzaki, Sakayanagi, Kiryuuin... The current Advanced Nurturing is like a battle of gods. Outsiders who are not big enough should not try to get involved.

If you dare to take sides, you must be prepared to withstand attacks from the other side!

Whether there's evidence or not is irrelevant. In this situation, you should be trying to explain why you're standing on my side.

"That's really interesting," Koenji Rokusuke said with a playful look. "Compared to the losses at home, I'm more curious about what Aragaki- boy wants to get from the school through this."

Even if Advanced Nurturing accountability process were to bankrupt all those shops, given the size of the Koenji Conglomerate, it would only be a matter of donating some blood.

Of course, this might lower his standing within his family.

However, since I don't have any competitors for succession at the moment, it doesn't matter.

The bigger problem now is --

For just these few million Private Points, the family would suffer losses a hundredfold or even a thousandfold, yet Aragaki Shun seems to be able to receive a substantial compensation... or rather, a reward, from the school.

Haha~ Could it be that we picked up the sesame seeds but lost the watermelon?

308. Special Exam Rule Modification Authority; setting a trap for Tsukishiro to jump into.

Time quickly came to December 27th.

The Advanced Nurturing campus was still basking in the afterglow of Christmas, with decorations still wrapped around the lampposts, but Aragaki Shun had already begun preparing to go home.

Christmas can be spent at school with classmates, but New Year's Eve must be spent at home with family. Otherwise, it won't be easy to appease my sulking younger sister, Ayase.

In the Student Council President's office, Aragaki Shun turned the computer screen to its brightest setting and frantically typed in the last piece of data.

From this point on, the matter of Koenji and Ayanokoji's collusion with outside shops was considered closed at the Student Council level; the rest was left for the school to deal with those outsiders.

"Phew~"

The young man exhaled a puff of white mist, leaned back in his office chair, and lazily enjoyed the leisurely feeling after finishing his work.

Two minutes later, the door was gently pushed open, Hasebe Haruka poked half her head in.

The girl's blue hair still clung to the chill, the ends curling into natural waves; she wore a loose white sweater, the neckline askew to one side, revealing a small patch of skin below her collarbone, flushed pink by the warmth of the heater.

"Xiao Shun, are you still busy?"

The delicate little face that leaned closer was inexplicably soft and sleepy, and unlike Hasebe's usual poise, her voice was still a little hoarse from just waking up.

Or rather, I really had just woken up.

In the past two days, besides dealing with matters concerning Koenji and the others, Aragaki Shun also spent a lot of time being intimate with Hasebe, whom he had just become lovers with, filling the space with love and thus further promoting a harmonious atmosphere within the harem.

Well, although it wasn't hard work at all, I'll still give myself a pat on the back!

Aragaki Shun his head, his gaze lingering on the girl with Blue Long-Haired Girl for a second, a smile playing on his lips, "I'm done with work, I was just about to come find you."

Hasebe Haruka like fireworks, and she rushed into her lover's arms, her sweater hem lifting up and releasing a faint scent of citrus.

She buried her face in the crook of his shoulder, appearing particularly clingy. "I heard from Xiaoshun last night that you're leaving school the day after tomorrow?"

The boy chuckled, one arm around the girl's waist, the other stroking the stray hairs behind her ear, and whispered, "That's right, I promised my family I'd always go back and get together sometime."

"Ooh~"

Hasebe pouted slightly. These past few days, she had been so captivated by her lover's beauty that Airi. Even if it was only for a few days before they couldn't see each other again, she felt a pang of reluctance.

By the way, can she go home with Shun?

Um... never mind, I feel a bit unsure. I've heard that those big families all have some particularly strict and strange rules.

I'm not mentally prepared to face everything yet.

Aragaki Shun patted Hasebe's head, his fingertips gliding along her soft hair before finally stopping at the beauty mark at the corner of the Blue Long-Haired Girl's eye, where he curiously poked it lightly.

When the girl stubbornly banged her head against him, the Student Council President smiled, stood up, and pulled Hasebe along as they walked out of the Activity Classroom.

"Let's go, while we still have time, wherever you want to go, we can try it out."

Of course, it wasn't just the two of them; Aragaki Shun also called out several other lovers, secretly wondering if they would have the chance to sleep together that night.

He would probably be unable to see her for about a week, so naturally he had to make arrangements for his remaining harem members on campus, lest they harbor resentment over such a trivial matter.

Dating his harem, going to bed at night, playing games, and then having a party.

After calming all the lovers down, Aragaki Shun packed his bags and prepared to leave school and go home to reunite with his family.

Of course, before that, he had to go to the Chairman's Office to receive the reward he deserved from Director Kanda.

It has to be said that as long as you have connections at higher levels, you can get anything done smoothly and efficiently, and no one dares to deliberately ignore your demands.

Perhaps because Advanced Nurturing had indeed received some benefits from the Koenji Conglomerate, the Board of Directors readily agreed to Aragaki Shun's application. After exchanging pleasantries for only two minutes upon entering the office, Director Kanda handed over the relevant documents.

"The Christmas event ended very well, and everyone on the Board of Directors was very satisfied. Consider this a 'New Year's gift' for Shun-kun, and we hope you will make good use of it."

Aragaki Shun took the document, and saw only one line of large, eye-catching text on the cover—

[Special Exam Rule Modification Authority (One Time)]

The boy's eyes flickered slightly as he gently flipped through the documents, lost in thought.

Normally, the Student Council President has the authority to participate in the formulation of Special Exam rules.

However, it's important to note that the rules that Student Council can participate in formulating are usually only those parts that the school allows them to participate in.

As is customary, the school will set the main theme and most important rules for the Special Exam, and the Student Council can only fill in some minor details within this framework.

Of course, if the Student Council President feels that the general framework of the rules set by the school is unreasonable, they can raise objections and argue their case. However, it is hard to say whether the school will make changes as a result.

The current [Special Exam Rule Modification Authority (Once)], as described in the document, has a scope and level that are clearly higher than the Student Council President's permissions.

If the content is correct, this means that if Aragaki Shun is willing, he can completely forcefully revise the basic rules that the school has already set in a Special Exam... There is only one chance, but it is possible to add, delete, or modify a certain Special Exam rule.

Of course, such powerful authority cannot be without any restrictions.

The document also lists a long list of supplementary regulations, the most important of which is that it must not violate laws, regulations, or school rules and regulations.

This is easy to understand; otherwise, if Aragaki Shun have a meltdown and create a real-life battle royale, wouldn't the Board of Directors be in a very awkward position?

Secondly, it cannot violate social customs and morals—for example, requiring all female students to wear inappropriate clothing during Special Exam, or even arranging for them to live entirely in female dormitories...

Um... what kind of person do they take him for?

If he really had such thoughts, he could have tried it with his partner in the apartment on a regular basis; there would be no need to use this special thing!

Finally, there are some restrictions on rewards and punishments. Rules cannot be deliberately designed to allow a large number of students to drop out at once, or to allow individuals to accumulate tens or hundreds of millions of Private Points.

In short, Aragaki Shun can indeed use this authority to modify the rules of the Special Exam, but if the added or removed rules are too outrageous, the Board of Directors can directly reject them during the review process.

However, as long as he can maintain a proper balance and ensure that the announcement of the Special Exam rules does not cause significant controversy, and at least appears fair and just on the surface, the school will turn a blind eye to his requests after he uses his authority.
