Classroom of the Elite: I Can Allocate Points Without Limit
Shibata Sou and Kanzaki Ryuji came over, and after hearing Aragaki Shun's complaints, the former couldn't help but retort.
As a member of the Soccer Club, he excels in sports and communication, and is considered the male version of Ichinose Honami. He received quite a few obligatory chocolates on Valentine's Day, but in terms of quantity, they were probably less than a tenth of what Aragaki Shun received.
"If those who can't even get a single chocolate heard this, they'd definitely think you're showing off on purpose and be green with envy."
"I think that's unlikely to happen," Kanzaki Ryuji countered. "Girls like Ichinose and Kushida would probably give a piece of obligatory chocolate to all their friends, from first-year students to upperclassmen."
After all, they are Archangel and little angels. It's hard to say about the former, but even if the latter is just trying to maintain their persona, they can't possibly forget about their so-called friends.
Based on this, it's unlikely that in Advanced Nurturing, there will truly be an ultimate scenario where you can't even get a single chocolate.
"By the way, with White Day coming up next month, are you planning to give a return gift to almost half of the girls in the school?"
As if recalling an amusing Matoba, Kanzaki Ryuji couldn't help but show a playful expression on his face— the Leader of Class A entrusted him with all the class's affairs every day, and it would be great fun to see him suffer a little setback!
Aragaki Shun was somewhat speechless at the gloating expressions on the faces of his right-hand men, but the matter he had pointed out was indeed one that would require a lot of effort.
According to the "Sakurajima tradition" created by merchants, boys who receive gifts from girls on Valentine's Day, February 14th, are required to reciprocate with candy, white chocolate, cookies, or even jewelry on White Day, March 14th.
Generally speaking, the value of these return gifts is higher than the chocolates received, roughly two to three times, which can be considered an unspoken rule.
This is certainly not a difficult thing for the average boy, since they don't receive many gifts anyway.
But Aragaki Shun might receive hundreds of chocolates from various grades today, and on White Day he'll have to determine the value of each chocolate and then reciprocate by giving double the amount to each girl... It's quite a hassle.
"Never mind, I'll give all these things to Chihiro, Hiyori, and Xiao Mei this afternoon. Then I'll ask my lovely girlfriends to prepare appropriate return gifts for me."
Since he has many girlfriends, if everyone divides the work equally, the workload becomes quite simple.
As for whether doing so is inappropriate --
It's perfectly normal for him to ask his girlfriend to prepare a return gift for a simple "obligation chocolate."
And if someone were to give him his "signature chocolate," wouldn't he be even more inclined to greet his lovers?
Therefore, Aragaki Shun was both unreasonable and arrogant, and his smug attitude left Shibata and Kanzaki speechless.
"Then, can I help too?"
A gentle voice suddenly came from the seat on the left. The pink-haired Archangel blinked, and her delicate face turned bright red as she met the gazes of everyone around her.
"That... that..."
The girl put her hand into her schoolbag as she spoke, then froze.
Kanzaki Ryuji and Shibata Sou exchanged a glance, shrugged at each other, and then decisively withdrew.
Seeing this, Aragaki Shun could only prop his chin up and calmly watch Ichinose Honami had inexplicably become unusually clumsy.
"What's wrong? If it's just chocolate, I have a whole bunch on my table right now, there's no need to be embarrassed."
"Uh, well, that's... it's really strange, I was clearly planning to take it out more neatly..."
The Archangel moved his arm in the bag, hesitated for a moment, then took out something as if he had made up his mind, and handed it to Aragaki Shun.
"Haha, this, this Valentine's Day chocolate... could you... please accept it? How should I put it? Although I've never given anything like this before... this is the only way I can thank you..."
"Honami's first time? Then I'll gladly accept it!"
Raising an eyebrow, Aragaki Shun calmly accepted the exquisite gift box handed to him by the pink-haired girl, somewhat surprised that there were no other mass-produced chocolates on the other's table.
"Before today, hadn't Honami exchanged any obligatory chocolates with other friends?"
"Uh... you should know about my family's situation Aragaki-kun," Ichinose said, a hint of reminiscence in her eyes as she looked tenderly at the man who had helped her, her mother, and her sister resolve their issues. "To avoid burdening my mother, I try to avoid holidays like these."
With her personal charm, it would be easy for her to become the object of admiration for the entire school in an ordinary middle school.
But precisely because she had so many friends, she had never participated in these social occasions where classmates exchanged gifts.
The reason is simple—I just don't have the money.
After all, Ichinose's family was so poor that their mother was hospitalized due to overwork in order to buy her younger sister a birthday hair clip.
If you were to give all your friends a complimentary chocolate on Valentine's Day, that would just be considered being overly concerned with saving face and being incredibly inconsiderate!
"Although, although since entering the Advanced Nurturing, our class has never been short of Private Points, I still feel that... on Valentine's Day, it's definitely better to... only give chocolates to one person..."
Under Aragaki Shun's gaze, the pink-haired Archangel stammered out his thoughts, his innocent demeanor truly delightful to behold.
"I see, then I will accept it with gratitude."
Seeing the girl so shy that she almost buried her head in her chest, Aragaki Shun smiled and casually looked away.
Before long, everyone in the class had arrived. There was no room left on his desk, so before class, he had to distribute the mountain of chocolates to Ichinose Honami, Shiranami Chihiro, and Shiina Hiyori sitting around him.
When the bell rang, Chie Hoshinomiya entered the classroom on time and burst out laughing upon seeing this scene.
"Hehe~ I have to say, he really lives up to his reputation as the most popular guy in our class. As expected, Aragaki is very popular with girls. If I were a few years younger, I might even be competing with Chihiro and Xiao Mei for him."
"Ahem~" Amidst the commotion in the class, the Leader of Class A coughed twice, feigning seriousness. "Please, Hoshinomiya-sensei, be serious for once. This is class meeting time, a time to discuss serious matters!"
The female teacher, who liked to act young and cute, shrugged and said nonchalantly:
"The only real business is the Mock Exam tomorrow, the 15th. It's Small Test that comes up from time to time before each midterm and final exam, so everyone should be used to it."
"In short, this thing has absolutely nothing to do with grades or anything like that. It's just to test the students' current abilities and to prepare for your final exams after you've finished studying..."
Chie Hoshinomiya casually informed everyone about tomorrow's Mock Exam and that the first-year students would have their End-of-Year Exam on February 25th.
As the female teacher said, this kind of ordinary assessment, which does not involve the increase or decrease of Class Evaluation Points, puts no pressure on anyone in Class A.
After all, given the overall academic level of their class, it's unlikely that anyone would fail and be expelled.
For the rest of the day, because of Valentine's Day, Aragaki Shun was almost completely immersed in a sea of chocolate.
That evening, Ichinose Honami learned that the boy was troubled by the matter of returning the gift, so she volunteered to come to the apartment to help identify and register the value of each gift.
The two worked together until 9 p. m., nearly three hours, to finish all the work.
Of course, he only needs to record which girl gave him chocolates and how much they were worth, and how much he should reciprocate. After that, he will need to find time to go to the shopping center and buy the actual items.
"What a hassle. I should have just refused all the gifts from people I wasn't close to."
Somewhat lazily letting his body lean to one side, eventually resting his head on Honami's plump and perfect thighs, Aragaki Shun's complaining voice was much more muffled than usual.
The Archangel's body stiffened for a moment, but quickly returned to its supple state, and she gently raised her hand to lightly comb the hair of the man on her lap.
"You can't do that. They're not even that close, yet they specially sent chocolates to Aragaki-kun on this holiday. They must have mustered up a lot of courage to do that."
Yes, Ichinose has always viewed others with the utmost kindness.
But in Aragaki Shun's eyes—
"I think they're just trying their luck. They're all either attracted to my looks, my achievements, my power, my wealth, or they simply want to spend the night with me."
"Pfft~" Hearing such narcissistic remarks, the Archangel couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Aragaki-kun really isn't humble at all."
"Just telling the truth," the boy exhaled softly, muttering like a sleepy cat, "After all, I'm not even familiar with them. What else could they possibly want from me besides these things?"
Of course, those who use cheats don't actually dislike this behavior, since the phenomenon itself stems from their prestige, charisma, and influence.
This is a good thing; there's absolutely no need to worry about it.
Looking up, after traversing the two peaks with her extraordinary vision, Ichinose Honami's face became noticeably redder and redder.
The girl seemed oblivious to what Aragaki Shun had said; she frantically clutched the hem of her skirt, her gaze wandering aimlessly.
"I... I should go back to the dorm..."
The man on the lap remained silent. Chihiro Hiyori had tacitly emptied the apartment. "It's this late at night, and you still want to escape?"
Aragaki Shun snorted coldly and pressed the Archangel was about to fall over, against the back of the sofa.
"Unfortunately, the little rabbit has willingly walked into the wolf's den; I'm not going to let my prey go!"
"Ah~" Ichinose exclaimed instinctively, then quickly covered her mouth, her eyes moist as she whispered, "Then, then let me go take a shower first?"
"That's a good suggestion, but I refuse."
As the girl's uniform fell off, Aragaki Shun buried his entire face between her long, slender neck and her breasts.
"Since we still need to clean up later, let's wash them all together then..."
322. Enjoying this moment, I forget Ayase; the entire second-year class submits.
The following morning, Aragaki Shun, following his biological clock.
Feeling the Archangel's perfect body in his arms, the boy took a deep breath, turned over, and got up to get dressed and wash up.
Unfortunately, today isn't a day off. We still have Mock Exam for all subjects after class, so now is definitely not a good time to reignite the battle.
As someone who has never turned off the cheat code yet still goes for a morning run every day without fail, Aragaki Shun certainly possesses this level of self-control.
When Ichinose woke up from his daze, the boy had already run a lap outside and prepared a delicious and nutritious breakfast for his girlfriend who had just come of age.
Upon seeing this, the Archangel showed a look of remorse.
Normally, this kind of work should be prepared by the person in charge of the relationship.
How awful! On my first day living with my boyfriend, I missed the chance to show off my feminine prowess because I overslept.
"I'm sorry, Shun-kun, this was my first time, and my skills and stamina weren't great. I don't think I was able to satisfy you yesterday. I'll try to train harder and make sure you're satisfied."
"It's alright, this isn't a problem with Honami!"
Shaking his head, Aragaki Shun invited the pink-haired girl to join him for a meal. "My situation is a bit special, as you experienced last night, so there's no need to pursue unrealistic goals."
Hearing this suggestive hint, Ichinose's pretty face immediately turned red, and she lowered her head and silently walked to sit down next to the boy.
As one of only two people involved, with Shun-kun's help last night, she felt shy just recalling her experience of graduating from adolescence and growing up.
Ichinose had never imagined she could be so bold, almost as if she had abandoned all reason, transforming into a wild beast and repeatedly making advances towards her beloved... Ugh~ So, is she really such a lewd woman by nature? Will Shun-kun think she's shameless in private?
"There's no need to dwell on it too much. To be honest, I quite liked another side of Honami last night."
With a playful glint in his eye, he approached the girl and gently blew a breath into her trembling earlobe. Aragaki Shun laughed heartily, admiring the girl's increasingly alluring appearance.
Ichinose lowered her head shyly to taste the breakfast her lover had prepared for her. As soon as the food entered her mouth, the girl subconsciously squinted her eyes.
Honestly, my boyfriend is so versatile, how come he can't even compare to me in cooking?
This put a lot of pressure on her as her girlfriend!
While replenishing their nutrition and dealing with their lover's teasing, the two finished their meal in this ambiguous atmosphere and finally entered the classroom a few minutes before the school bell rang.
The only problem is that they are arguably the most influential boy and girl in Class A, the first year, and even the entire Advanced Nurturing. When their relationship takes a turn for the better, the sudden sweetness that makes outsiders cringe is impossible to hide.
After school ended in the afternoon, and after a day of Mock Exam covering all subjects, Ichinose's best friends immediately teased her and dragged the pink-haired Archangel away.
Aragaki Shun simply shook his head at this, greeted Hiyori and Chihiro, and then took Kanzaki Ryuji and Shibata Sou with him to the classroom of the second-year Kiriyama class.
Since the last Mixed Training Camp Exam, the second-year Asahina Class chose to give in, while the remaining original Class C and Class D, after Aragaki Shun made an example of them by expelling two members, now have to face the bleak reality of their lack of strength.
However, both classes were filled with either delinquents or low-IQ losers, and the few Akito who had once been in the program were expelled from Advanced Nurturing by Miyabi Nagumo.
In short, the remaining members of these two classes seemed determined to see things through to the end, and even though they knew there was no chance of a turnaround, they were subconsciously using the tactic of stalling, unwilling to agree to his conditions now.
It's clear they're planning to wait for the next Special Exam, and if they face the risk of expulsion, they'll back down; if not, they'll continue to drag it out.
Aragaki Shun was somewhat speechless about this, but didn't care too much; after all, he wasn't the one who should be worried.
Since he won't listen to reason and will instead suffer the consequences, then don't blame him for continuing to be ruthless!
According to the information he received from the Student Council, March 24th is the annual graduation ceremony of Advanced Nurturing, when all Third Year students will leave the school and go their separate ways.
Before that, the school will likely prepare two more very important assessments for the older students.
Therefore, as February draws to a close, the school has arranged for first-grade students to take their End-of-Year Exam on the 25th, while second and Third Year will take Special Exam.
With less than two months left in his Third Year, it had nothing to do with Aragaki Shun, but he still wanted to get involved in the second year.
If the previous two expulsions weren't enough to deter the entire second-year class, then let's do it again!
As the Student Council President, Aragaki Shun said he has plenty of time to play with them.
In the peaceful campus life, ten days passed quickly.
During this period, aside from occasionally directing the second-year Kiriyama class and the second-year Asahina Class to suppress the other two second-year classes, Aragaki Shun devoted the rest of his energy to accompanying his ever-growing group of lovers.
Especially Tachibana Akane- senpai, who will graduate in just over a month, and Ichinose, who has just become a woman and has developed a taste for romance, are becoming increasingly clingy, which is also causing the other couples to become more and more obsessed with each other.
Without time-related skills, managing time is no easy task.
Fortunately, Aragaki Shun had already entered the Transcendent Realm, and was able to suppress the women with his unparalleled stats. Otherwise, the problem of unrest in his harem alone would have given him a headache for quite some time.
