Chapter 235

Class 3-B boy. "..."

Class 3-C boy. "..."

Upon hearing this unequivocal threat, which left no room for choice, the boys from both classes wore complex expressions.

Although the other party was already the Student Council President who had reached the pinnacle of Advanced Nurturing, being forced into this position by a junior who was two years younger still made them feel quite uncomfortable.

No matter how frustrated he felt, there was nothing he could do. They controlled the entire first and second year Kiriyama class and had joined forces with Manabu Horikita, who had a huge influence in the Third Year.

In this situation, how could ordinary students possibly compete in Mixed Training Camp Exam that required the combined efforts of three grades?

Unconsciously, the students in Class 3-B and Class 3-C all missed Miyabi Nagumo a little.

Back when that blond junior was still in school, to prove his strength, he brought his own food to support his class's rebellion against Manabu Horikita, and he didn't even blink an eye when throwing money around.

Now that Aragaki Shun has taken over as Student Council President, he's surprisingly cooperating with Class A of the Third Year without any apparent concern... While there's no conflict between the two, making this seem perfectly reasonable, it's somewhat incomprehensible to Class 3-B and Class 3-C.

Why can't you learn from Nagumo and become a willing sucker who throws money away?!

With a sigh, and seeing his classmates gradually becoming flustered, Ishikura, the leader of Class 3-B, had no choice but to step forward again and try to discuss some terms:

"Aragaki-kaicho, during the recent Student Council election, all of us Third Year students received a sum of money from Miyabi Nagumo. What do you think...?"

"Unfortunately, I don't have the habit of abandoning those who have served their purpose."

Cutting off the other person's nonsense crisply, Aragaki Shun frowned slightly, "Could you please finish the group assignments as soon as possible, seniors?"

Third Year are all poor, there's not much to gain from them. Previously, when Aragaki Shun held the [In-School Student External Welfare Activity], he had already collected a lot of Private Points from them.

To this day, the combined savings of these two classes alone are probably less than ten million.

As the wealthiest student in the history of Advanced Nurturing, Aragaki Shun's account holds nearly 110 million Private Points.

Not to mention, he'll be earning 7.76 million every month from now on, so how could he possibly care about the offers from Class 3-B and Class 3-C?

It was always Aragaki Shun who went to bribe other classes; how could he possibly change his mind for petty gains?

Manabu Horikita had helped him a lot, after all. He had just helped him become the Student Council President last month, so it would be ridiculous for him to turn his back on him now.

As the only Transcendentalist in this world and the heir to the Aragaki Family, Aragaki Shun's reputation has not fallen to such a low level.

"Please stop wasting your time. You're supposed to be Third Year seniors, at least maintain some basic decorum."

--If you're not dignified, don't blame me for making you dignified!

Upon hearing this obvious hint, Ishikura from Class 3-B paused, glanced back at the other silent students, and finally could only bitterly choose one of the remaining three groups to join.

With the last stumbling block removed, the group assignments for the boys' group were finally finalized, with results available for the three grade-level groups and the six larger groups as a whole.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the exam will proceed as planned.

So, it's time to completely take control of second grade!

After the group was set up, Aragaki Shun and the others were taken to their lodgings.

Pushing open the door, you'll see a dormitory room with bunk beds, totaling sixteen beds.

On the boys' side, even if each group is fully staffed, there will be a maximum of fourteen students, so there are more than enough beds.

In the first group that Aragaki Shun belonged to, besides his familiar Class A teammates, there were only three members from other classes: Koenji Rokusuke from Class B, Kaneda Satoru from Class C, and Yukimura Teruhiko from Class D.

For the next week, their entire group would live together here until the exams were over and the rankings were determined.

Soon, everyone had assigned beds and packed up their belongings.

After all, apart from Koenji, the other members of the group could be said to obey Aragaki Shun's orders without question, and any conflicts between them could be easily resolved.

In this atmosphere, even the usually independent and unconventional Beautiful Brother didn't have any intention of deliberately causing trouble. Although he had no intention of helping the group, he was at least willing to do his own work on his own.

"The entire afternoon is free time. If you're interested, you can take a walk around the neighborhood and familiarize yourself with the surroundings. This might be helpful for your life in the coming week."

After tidying up the dormitory, facing the expectant gazes of the Class A members, Aragaki Shun clapped his hands and declared that there were no tasks for the time being, and everyone could have fun as they pleased.

After saying that, he didn't stay where he was. He simply turned around and left the dormitory area, heading towards the outside of the school building.

As he moved further away, the boy's presence naturally diminished until he disappeared from everyone's sight and hearing, and even technological devices like cameras could no longer monitor his appearance or movements.

Extraordinary skill [Abnormal Correction], activated!

According to the rules set by the school, during the Mixed Training Camp period, the male and female groups must be completely separated, and they can only meet for one hour each day when eating in the cafeteria.

But having been at this Advanced Nurturing for so long, any student accustomed to classroom competition should have come to this realization—

That means all those rules explicitly prohibited by the school are nonsense. The school's true attitude has always been that as long as you're not caught, it's not considered a violation.

Violence, bullying, extortion, spreading rumors, and even theft will only be seriously investigated by the school if there is clear evidence or if the matter becomes too big to be contained.

Otherwise, given the Advanced Nurturing nature of "simulated society," there would be no need to specifically investigate those gray areas.

Therefore, in this school, always following the rules and being too well-behaved will be a disadvantage.

So, naturally, Aragaki Shun completely ignored the rule about separating boys and girls, easily walked out of the Boys' Dormitory, turned a corner, and entered the girls' activity area next door.

Yes, just enter through the main entrance openly and honestly.

He also greeted the teacher guarding the gate, but unfortunately, the teacher seemed not to hear him.

315. Fear authority, not virtue; don't concern yourself with the affairs of the Transcendentalist.

With the help of [Abnormal Correction], Aragaki Shun easily infiltrated the Girls' Dormitory area.

To be honest, this place wasn't much different from the Main Boys' Activity Building. The boy only glanced at it before losing interest and started asking someone about important matters.

Without a doubt, in this situation, the most suitable intelligence agent would be the class's nobody Little Transparent Yamamura Miki.

"Wow~ Aragaki -kun, what are you doing...?"

Following his intuition, he found Yamamura Miki alone by the vending machine. Aragaki Shun smiled slightly and went straight up to hug his lover's slender waist from behind.

The girl with dark blue hair and deep blue eyes was instinctively startled, but she quickly realized who it was from the familiar sense of security. She puffed out her cheeks slightly and playfully bumped her head against the boy's chest.

Aragaki -kun is so mean, suddenly popping up to scare him.

However, normally, when she is alone, no one would be able to detect her presence.

Looking at it this way, it seems that only Aragaki would play such a prank on her.

Thinking of this, Yamamura Miki's heart and body softened, and she obediently pressed her cheek against the boy's chest.

Even though she's a gloomy girl, the fact that she can win Aragaki's affections makes her feel like she's dreaming, even though they've been dating for several months.

Gently brushing aside Miki's pretty side ponytail, Aragaki Shun picked her up and sat her on the bench next to him, leaving a kiss mark on her cheek.

After exchanging greetings, as the Leader of Class A, he began to inquire about the situation at the Girls' Dormitory, asking about his Little Transparent.

"Ichinose and Shiina are very efficient; our small groups and larger teams have already been assigned..."

As Yamamura Miki recounted her story, Aragaki Shun quickly received firsthand information from the Girls' Dormitory and confirmed that Ichinose and the others were proceeding with their exam plan as he had arranged in the car.

However, this was to be expected. After all, the key to this Mixed Training Camp was the pairing of the six groups within the grade. Given Class A's status as first-year students, as long as Ichinose herself didn't back down, the task would be virtually effortless.

Just like in the Boys' Dormitory area, the girls' group was also divided into groups following the same pattern.

First, determine the prerequisites:

--[The first-grade girls' grades are 27A+16B+19C+18D, and the group size will be limited to 10 to 15 people.]

Then there are the specific pairings for the six groups:

--[Group 1: 12A+1B+1C+1D;]

--[Second group: 11A+1B+2C+1D;]

--[Group 3: 1A+1B+7C+6D]

--[Group 4: 1A+1B+6C+7D]

--[Group 5: 1A+5B+2C+2D]

--[Group 6: 1A+7B+1C+1D]

Without a doubt, the above six groups are the final rankings that Aragaki Shun had pre-arranged for the Girls' Dormitory exam.

Fill the first four groups to capacity, and then each group consists of students from all four classes... This way, Class A can win the most rewards in this Mixed Training Camp Exam.

As for the two groups that will have their Class Evaluation Points deducted, just give most of the spots to the defenseless Class B.

As for forming large groups, it was consistent with the boys' group— the Class 1-A and the Class A of the Third Year joined forces, which was enough to leave no room for objection from the upper grades.

There's also the Second Year Kiriyama Group in the Girls' Dormitory, which is also composed of 12 students from their own class and 3 students from other classes.

To outsiders, this seemed like an attempt to maximize profits, but Aragaki Shun simply dumped this group into the larger group that included the First Year Group 6.

If nothing unexpected happens, this group will definitely be last in the Girls' Dormitory area. If the members of the Kiriyama class in the group deliberately fail the test, then it's only natural that they will be expelled and the stigma mechanism will be activated.

"... Aragaki-kun, do you really have to let a second-year student drop out?"

After reporting the group assignments to the Leader of Class A, Yamamura Miki, nestled in her boyfriend's arms, hesitantly raised this question.

Of course, she herself didn't care much about the fate of the older, unfamiliar senior, but—

"Ichinose seems to be under a lot of pressure."

This is to be expected. Although the plan was proposed by Aragaki Shun, the actual implementation of the Girls' Dormitory still depends on Ichinose and Shiina.

Neither of them is the competitive type. However Ichinose Shiina a bit too naive and kind.

The Archangel was unwilling to sacrifice anyone, and even when faced with other classes with conflicting interests, he was reluctant to take drastic measures.

After all, in a country like Sakurajima, being expelled from high school can potentially affect one's future.

Is Ichinose under a lot of psychological pressure?

After repeating the message, and seeing Miki nod slightly, Aragaki Shun stroked the girl's cheek to show he understood.

"I'll go talk to her later, but whether or not a student will ultimately drop out... depends on their performance in the second year!"

"The petty man fears power but not virtue, the mediocre man respects evil but not good; in the end, I gave them too much face!"

After expelling Miyabi Nagumo from Advanced Nurturing, Aragaki Shun secretly tried to win over the other three second-year classes on several occasions.

But perhaps because they thought he was easy to talk to, neither the former Class C, which had been promoted to Class A, nor the former Class D, which was now in Class B, nor the Nagumo Class, which had lost Nagumo, gave him the answer he wanted.

Of course, this isn't to say that Aragaki Shun, as Student Council President, had no influence over upperclassmen; it's mainly that their respective conditions couldn't be agreed upon at all.

For example, the original Class C in the second year, a group of delinquents who had been disciplined by Miyabi Nagumo to the point that they wouldn't dare to utter a sound, actually demanded that Aragaki Shun guarantee that they would graduate from Class A before they would obey his instructions in the Special Exam, and they were only willing to hand over half of the Private Points issued by the school each month.

The second-year original Class D was even more outrageous. Those trash who were deemed defective by the school actually claimed all the Class Evaluation Points that had been raised during this period as their own, and were unwilling to contribute a single Private Points, yet they wanted Aragaki Shun to help them graduate from Class A.

To be honest, did Nagumo really expel all the Akito from those two classes, leaving behind a bunch of brainless and self-aware idiots?

The only exception was the Nagumo Class, whose conditions were basically the same as those of the Kiriyama class: as long as Aragaki Shun could help them graduate from Class A, the entire class would be willing to obey his orders; in terms of Private Points, they only needed to keep 20,000 yen per month for living expenses, and were willing to hand over any excess.

However, the Leader of Class A ultimately refused.

After all, he had signed the same contract with the Kiriyama squad long ago. According to the principle of first come, Aragaki Shun would abandon his subordinates, whom he had completely controlled, just to gain the support of a group of defeated enemies, just because of the same conditions.

On the other hand, the basic qualities of all the students in the Kiriyama class are indeed the strongest among the four classes in the second year. After all, they were a group that was initially thrown into the original Class A by the school, so they still have a certain level of overall ability. The only thing they lack is a qualified leader who can stand up to Miyabi Nagumo.

If a class must graduate as Class A in the second year, then the Kiriyama Class is clearly more suitable than the Nagumo Class.

It definitely couldn't be the original Class C or Class D!

If it were truly necessary to support a group of bad apples or even scumbags to gain the opportunity to choose from prestigious universities and companies, Aragaki Shun said he couldn't bear the shame.

"The second-year students were all incredibly timid when facing Miyabi Nagumo. They didn't even dare to utter a single complaint, even though they handed over most of their Private Points every month and watched her abuse them."

"But after I expelled Nagumo from school, they dared to negotiate with me and weren't afraid of me at all. What kind of logic is that?"

Holding Yamamura Miki's soft, delicate body, the young man explained softly, "Since you're both pretending to be dead, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

To be fair, Aragaki Shun's reputation among the second-year students wasn't actually that bad.

In a way, Aragaki Shun owes a debt of gratitude to the second-year students.

He not only helped those people drive away Miyabi Nagumo, so they wouldn't have to hand in Private Points anymore, but also organized a "In-School Student External Welfare Activity" during the winter break, allowing students who hadn't contacted their families for nearly two years to have video calls with their relatives and friends.

But simply bestowing favors is not enough; thunder must also be unleashed to instill fear and obedience.

Perhaps it was because he never used any ruthless methods in his second year, or perhaps it was because his image was more positive and he always acted uprightly, that even the former Class C and Class D dared to give him attitude and refuse to cooperate.

In short, it seems that only by expelling one or two high-achieving second-year students can we make an example of them!

"Waaah~ I, I'll do Aragaki -san says..."

Feeling someone's hands circling all over her body, Yamamura Miki blushed, her eyes darting around, her mind clearly wandering elsewhere.
