Classroom of the Elite: I Can Add Points Without Limit, Chapter 243
But the next second, the surge of heat within him instantly washed away his regret.
With the upgrade of his two talents, Aragaki Shun could easily feel himself becoming genuinely stronger.
"Phew~"
The Transcendentalist exhaled a puff of white mist, which condensed in mid-air and did not dissipate, being plated with a layer of light gold by Star Power.
Feeling the power within his body, as if wielding an arm, the boy instinctively raised his right hand, his mind subtly shifting:
"Sword."
In an instant, particles of light seeped out from between the finger bones and condensed into a one-handed longsword.
It is 90 centimeters long, with a spine as thin as a cicada's wing, and pale golden star patterns flowing inside the blade.

With a slight movement of his eyes, he casually swung his hand, cutting a straight vacuum rift in the air, which only emitted a belated "hiss" sound three seconds later.
"Gun."
The sword shattered into countless shards of light, reforming into a two-and-a-half-meter-long, ancient spear. Its tip was dotted with a cold star, and the shaft was covered with spiraling star patterns. It was clearly a divine weapon that did not belong to this world.
"Armor."
His thoughts shifted again. He kept the spear, but particles of light spread along his arm, condensing into a layer of matte metallic light armor on his body.
"Shield."
As he spoke, Aragaki Shun raised his hand, palm facing upward, and unfurled a hexagonal light shield with a diameter of sixty centimeters in front of him...
In those ten minutes or so, the boy seemed to have acquired a new toy, constantly drawing the Star Power within his body to his outside, and then shaping it out of thin air into forms such as swords, spears, bows, arrows, armor, pagodas, bells, and tripods.
That's right. When [Sun Kin - Star Power] is upgraded to lv.7, in addition to converting solar energy into Star Power more efficiently, it also naturally extends to corresponding form changes.
In other words, he will be able to manifest his Star Power in various forms according to his imagination.
Not only inanimate objects like weapons and props, but also the shapes of flowers, trees, birds, beasts, insects and fish are included... Although they only have the form but not the spirit, and are just for show, they are definitely enough to make you look cool!
With this thought in mind, Aragaki Shun focused his attention, and a majestic divine beast appeared before him: its horns resembled those of a deer, its head a camel, its eyes a rabbit, its neck a snake, its belly a clam, its scales a fish, its claws an eagle, its paws a tiger, and its ears a cow.
In less than half a minute, the light and heat dragon, which had not yet fully taken shape, was completely destroyed and dissipated back into streams of Star Power.
He wasn't too disappointed. After all, dragons aren't real creatures. Even if it's just simple shaping, it's normal to fail the first time if you're not skilled enough. You'll succeed after a few more tries.
However, he now has an even more important test to verify—
"Wing."
As Aragaki Shun held his breath, two beams of light instantly unfolded behind him, condensing into giant wings pieced together from countless feathers of light.
Each of its left and right wings is two meters long, and with each slight flap, tiny specks of light fall.
The next moment, the boy touched the ground with his toes, his wings suddenly spread out, and he jumped directly off the rooftop.
Boom!
With a deafening roar, Aragaki Shun, as expected, did not fall to the ground. Instead, he floated in mid-air on an invisible force, like a radiant god who had stepped out of mythology.
Without a doubt, this is the flight accomplished through individual strength, a dream that humanity has always had—to stand firmly on the ground.
Relying on the [Abnormal Correction] ability, which makes him invisible and inaudible, Aragaki Shun casually flew freely in the air within a radius of dozens of miles while leisurely testing his [Sin of Gluttony], which had also reached level 7.
It's still a change in form, only the initial light, heat, and life-giving properties of Star Power have been reversed into darkness and devouring.
Of course, this increase in lethality is not important in this magic-free world.
The key is that, with the upgrade of the two talents, Aragaki Shun's efficiency in absorbing solar energy and converting it into Star Power increased by ten or even twenty or thirty times in an instant.
In a fantasy or martial arts world, this phenomenon would be considered an upgrade from a low-level cultivation technique to a high-level one.
Thinking of this, the boy's eyes flickered, and he immediately spread his wings and flew towards the highest point he could reach.
A moment later, the invisible panel, visible only to him, changed again—
[Name: Aragaki Shun
Strength: 21 → 21+
Physical condition: 21→21+
Agility: 20 → 21+
Spirit: 20→21+
Skills: Divine Weapon Refining lv.6 (0/20), Writing Carries Power lv.6 (0/20), Abnormal Correction lv.6 (0/20)
Talents: Vajra Glaze lv.6 (0/20), Sin of Gluttony lv.7 (0/40), Sun Kin - Star Power lv.7 (0/40)
Items: Magical implement (Heart-Protecting Mirror), Talisman (Rejuvenation Talisman, Protection Talisman, Explosive Flame Talisman, Star-Guiding Talisman)
Pending condensation: None
Optional tasks: ① Inheritance and Procreation; ② Immortal's Blessing
Source Power: 10 (Current efficiency: 8 per month)
Without any Source Power being invested, the four basic attribute values on the panel were actually slowly increasing.
Although the change was very subtle, only increasing from 21 to 21.001 in a few minutes, it was still a good thing as long as it made me stronger.
This means that Aragaki Shun only needs to bask in the sun for a period of time each day to raise his basic attributes at a considerable pace.
The long-held notion of talent enhancing attributes has become a reality... How could anyone not be overjoyed!
Without a doubt, he lacks nothing now except time!
324. Tsukishiro Tsunenari takes office as Board Chairman; Class Vote Exam.
End of February.
With the surrender of the second grade and the end of the third semester Final Exam, the first graders could have peacefully passed the school year by simply facing one last Special Exam.
But one afternoon, an email from Director Kanda abruptly shattered this peace—
The matter is simple: Tsukishiro Tsunenari, an ally sent by Ayanokoji Atsuomi, has replaced Kanda as the new Acting Board Chairman of Advanced Nurturing.
This was expected news, Aragaki Shun merely raised an eyebrow before gently putting it down.
Even if Kanda steps down as Acting Board Chairman, he will still be a member of the Advanced Nurturing Board of Directors, and his influence on the school will not decrease much.
Even if Tsukishiro Tsunenari appointed, he is still an outsider to Advanced Nurturing, and it is uncertain how much power he can wield during his term.
After all, nothing in this world can be accomplished simply by sitting in a certain position and automatically making decisions and wielding great power... If power were so simple, then all of humanity would still be in the primitive First Dynasty era, instead of experiencing one dynastic change after another.
Let's wait and see.
Aragaki Shun was quite curious about where this new Acting Board Chairman would start causing trouble.
He just hadn't expected that, only two days after entering the school, Chang Cheng, the new administrator of Tsukishiro Tsunenari, would immediately start his first major initiative...
Meanwhile, in the Chairman's Office, where the handover of work had just been completed, Tsukishiro Tsunenari issued an order to summon the class teachers of all first-grade classes.
With the End-of-Year Exam just finished, the teachers at Kodo Ikusei Senior High School are currently busy with various professional tasks.
With factors like advancing to a higher grade, dropping out of school, and preparations for graduation, plus the final Special Exam for the entire grade, every teacher is constantly overwhelmed by work at this time of year.
What's unexpected is that, with everyone so busy, such an absurd thing as having your direct supervisor replaced still happened.
With mixed feelings in their hearts, they didn't know why Tsukishiro Tsunenari had called them over, but under the new Acting Board Chairman's request, the first-year homeroom teachers had no power to resist, so they could only immediately put down their work and rush over.
Upon meeting their immediate supervisor, Chie Hoshinomiya, Mashima Tomoya Sakagami Kazuma, Sakagami Kazuma, and Chabashira Sae exchanged a glance and immediately took the lead in asking Tsukishiro for instructions, "Chairman Tsukishiro, all the first-year homeroom teachers have arrived. Please give your instructions."
Tsukishiro Tsunenari didn't respond immediately. Instead, he carefully observed everyone present, and only after seeing their meticulous attitude did he nod in satisfaction. "Very good, you are all excellent talents. Seeing you all confirms that the teaching staff of Advanced Nurturing is indeed worthy of its reputation."
Such nice words from politicians should be taken with a grain of salt; Hoshinomiya, Mashima, and the others naturally wouldn't take them seriously.
However, you can't completely ignore your boss's praise; it would be unfair to be targeted with unfair treatment for it.
As a result, the atmosphere became exceptionally harmonious amidst the polite exchanges among the group of people from all walks of life, a situation where everyone was happy.
And so, the warm-up was over. Tsukishiro Tsunenari immediately squinted and casually revealed the purpose of his call for everyone to come:
"There's no need to be nervous. What you all need to do is very simple: just announce to your respective classes that an additional Special Exam will be added."
"???"
"!!!"
After understanding Tsukishiro's purpose, the four homeroom teachers, led by Chie Hoshinomiya, frowned in unison, their expressions becoming serious.
While it's normal for a new broom to open up new possibilities, isn't it a bit too much for this Acting Board Chairman to make such a fuss right from the start?
Keep in mind, there's only one week left. After March 8th, the first-year students will have their last Special Exam of the school year... This was all arranged long ago. Now, Tsukishiro Tsunenari wants to insert a completely new and unknown assessment in the middle of the semester. Has he completely disregarded the school's schedule?
Even though Chie Hoshinomiya usually loves to act cute and innocent, she didn't dare to be anything inappropriate at this moment.
With Aragaki Shun around, she was promoted to homeroom teacher of Class A in the second month after the start of the semester. Even Class D, led by Chabashira Sae, was tightly controlled and became an appendage of her class.
What a wonderful situation this is! She doesn't want any accidents to happen!
The problem is that this newly appointed Acting Board Chairman, upon taking office, not only failed to investigate the graduating Third Year and the more experienced second-year students, but instead made no attempt to conceal his targeting of the first-year students... Just who is he trying to target?!
Of course, Hoshinomiya also understood that someone as insignificant as herself was absolutely not worth targeting by her superior.
The Class 1-A is doing just fine now. If Tsukishiro Tsunenari arbitrarily adds Special Exam and causes the existing structure to change inexplicably, that would be terrible.
Needless to say, from the school's perspective, they have every reason to suppress Class 1-A.
Therefore, Chie Hoshinomiya couldn't help but feel a little worried, and could only bite the bullet and step forward to offer her advice:
"Chairman Tsukishiro, you see, the end of the third semester is fast approaching. There was a Special Exam scheduled for a week later, and now we're adding another one at the last minute. Putting aside whether there's enough time, the key issue is that the students may not have enough energy to take two exams in one week."
"According to school practice, students should be given ample time to adjust after each Special Exam to avoid affecting their normal studies. How about we reschedule your upcoming assessment for next academic year? After all, it's only a month away..."
As a homeroom teacher Advanced Nurturing Education, Hoshinomiya did not directly reject Chairman Tsukishiro's idea. She simply hoped that he could understand the difficulties faced by the first-year students and give them more time to prepare.
This sounded reasonable, but unfortunately, Tsukishiro still smiled with narrowed eyes, leaving no room for choice in his words: "Hoshinomiya-sensei's suggestion is very good, but you only need to listen to the specific content of the exam, and then, just like the former Board Chairman did during his tenure, carry out the orders."
At this moment, not only Chie Hoshinomiya, but also the other homeroom teachers were stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but mutter to themselves—
What is this? Once you have power, you can just issue orders?
Are you deliberately making things difficult for us first graders to assert your authority?
But there's nothing they can do; a higher rank can crush you, not to mention the vast difference between them and the Acting Board Chairman —it's like comparing heaven and earth.
The class advisors have no choice but to accept this.
Seeing that his colleagues were all silent, Mashima Tomoya had no choice but to step forward and offer his support, "In that case, what kind of Special Exam does Chairman Tsukishiro want to add?"
"Ah, this." Tsukishiro didn't hide his thoughts. "I looked at the information on this year's first-year students before I came, and they are far more outstanding than in previous years."
"Aside from the fact that four students from Class D left Advanced Nurturing due to crimes during the summer vacation, almost a whole school year has passed, and not a single student in the entire first year has been punished or expelled."
Hearing Tsukishiro Tsunenari's seemingly admiring tone, all the class teachers present felt a sense of unease.
What does assigning Special Exam have to do with the fact that no first-graders were punished or expelled?
"That's right, the more outstanding someone is, the more carefully they need to be nurtured!"
Like a smiling tiger, Chairman Tsukishiro squinted and uttered something outrageous. "How can a highly competitive school like Advanced Nurturing School never have anyone eliminated? Considering this, I think we should give the students a sense of urgency, so I've decided to add a Special Exam that will definitely cause someone from each class to drop out."
Hoshinomiya and the others. "???"
Is this new boss out of his mind?
Because this year's students are more outstanding than previous years, does that mean one student from each class should be expelled?
What kind of absurd logic is this!
When your mother gave birth to you, did she throw away her brain and raise the placenta instead?!

"Chairman Tsukishiro, may I ask a question?" Mashima Tomoya couldn't help but step forward.
Among the four homeroom teachers in the first grade, he has always been the one who pays the most attention to the students' growth, and he is known for his integrity and trustworthiness.
Faced with Tsukishiro Tsunenari's unreasonable arrangements, he felt that he could no longer remain silent.
But the Acting Board Chairman simply waved his hand, stopping Mashima and the other teachers from doing anything. "Wait a few minutes, I haven't finished explaining the details of this Special Exam yet."
So the class advisors had to suppress their inner turmoil and force themselves to calm down and listen to the exam content designed by Tsukishiro Tsunenari.
To summarize, each first-grade student is required to select three classmates worthy of praise and three classmates worthy of criticism within their own class. Then, one classmate from each of the other three classes is selected as worthy of praise.
