Classroom of the Elite: I Can Get Stronger Without Limit, Chapter 244

After this process is completed, the praise votes and Criticism Vote received by each participant are offset one-to-one to determine the first and last place winners.

The former will receive Protection Point worth 20 million, while the latter will be ruthlessly expelled from school.

"... That concludes the content of the first-year Class Vote Exam, as well as information regarding the import of the latest system."

After explaining the specific exam rules to the class advisors, Mashima casually glanced around at Tsukishiro Tsunenari and the others who were listening intently.

"If any teacher has any questions now, they can raise them on the spot. Otherwise, if problems arise when it is officially implemented, don't blame me for handling it according to the school rules and regulations."

"Please forgive my rudeness," Mashima Tomoya said, taking a deep breath amidst the silent pressure, secretly adjusting his mindset.

From an official standpoint, Chairman Tsukishiro's near-absurd assessment method completely fails to meet the basic qualifications of faculty and staff.

Privately speaking, the other three first-year classes have Student Council President Aragaki Shun net, and they might be able to overcome the risk of dropping out by accumulating a large number of Private Points. However, his Class 1-B the only one that has no ability to resist this Class Vote Exam.

Regardless of the circumstances, he would do everything in his power to stop this unreasonable Special Exam, even if there was only a sliver of a chance.

"Perhaps the Board Chairman has other considerations in this matter, but just because this year's first-year students are too outstanding, is it not a bit unreasonable to forcibly select dropouts from all classes?"

"I know it's rude of me to say this, but Chairman Tsukishiro, you've only just taken office at this school. Although I don't know how you made your judgment, I believe that this kind of special exam doesn't align with the school's teaching philosophy and won't bring any beneficial growth to the students!"

Setting aside her concerns about Tsukishiro Tsunenari's status, Mashima protested somewhat sternly for the sake of the children who would fill the future.

"I second that. The students in our class have proven themselves to be elites through repeated assessments. I don't think any of them should be expelled!"

As the homeroom teacher of Class A, Chie Hoshinomiya knew that she had to step up at this moment and absolutely could not let Mashima Tomoya fight alone.

The remaining Sakagami Kazuma and Chabashira Sae, were relatively casual, but they clearly did not understand or support the new Board Chairman's actions.

Tsukishiro had no objection to this.

He himself knew how absurd this hastily put forward Class Vote Exam was. If none of the four homeroom teachers dared to stand up and express their opposition, it would only make him look down on them.

This is a value assessment of being human.

Assess whether you are merely a member of society, an adult, and a teacher who works simply to earn a paycheck.

Therefore, when Tsukishiro heard Mashima and Hoshinomiya's protests, he happily showed off his white teeth.

"I am very pleased that both of you are teachers who genuinely care about your students, and you have indeed been actively protecting the interests of the students in your class."

"Then please reconsider..."

"But that's not the same thing!" Tsukishiro advised, speaking from experience.

"Young children have much stronger learning abilities than adults. I took this into consideration, which is why I postponed its application to second and Third Year graders, and only focused on applying it to first graders for the new exam."

"Because if they are first-year students, they haven't fully embraced the school's style yet. If the new approach succeeds, it will be easier to try this mechanism on the new students next year."

They're even targeting freshmen?

Mashima's forehead creased with several "#" characters; she simply couldn't understand. "No first-year students dropped out this year due to the Special Exam. Do you find these results particularly objectionable?"

"The current record is meaningless; we must focus on the future, on the future!"

Tsukishiro emphasized without changing his expression:

"This school has high expectations from the government; it's a newly established school conducting experimental trials, and its history is still very short. Precisely because of this, I believe we should try all sorts of things."

"From the perspective of the Board Chairman of the board, I have the responsibility to determine the guiding principles and lead the school, but the Board Chairman is also a puppet; I am merely someone employed by a corporation established by the highest level, the government."

At this point, Mashima and the others knew that there was no point in continuing to resist.

Ultimately, they can do nothing when faced with those in true power.

"Unsuitable individuals will be excluded; that's a social mechanism, no, it's the law of nature. Besides, haven't I already conceded and agreed to import [Protection Point]?"

With that sentence, Tsukishiro clapped his hands, effectively suppressing the opinions of all the first-year homeroom teachers.

At this point, the Class Vote Exam is confirmed to be implemented.

There are no longer any obstacles at the school level.

325. Ayanokoji Kiyotaka drops out of school? Aragaki Shun chooses to intensify his efforts!

The day after Tsukishiro Tsunenari took office.

Aragaki Shun was invited to the Chairman's Office.

"Nice to meet you, Aragaki -kun."

Upon arriving at their destination, the Student Council President met a middle-aged man with squinty eyes, who appeared to be about 50 years old.

The other party should be the newly appointed Acting Board Chairman Advanced Nurturing Institute, sent by Ayanokoji Atsuomi.

Interestingly, in less than a year since enrolling, Aragaki Shun has already met three very different Board Chairman in this reception room.

The turnover rate of the chairman of the Advanced Nurturing Board Chairman is a bit too fast, from the initial Sakayanagi Narimori, to the previous Director Kanda, and now Tsukishiro Tsunenari...

Just kidding!

This kind of thing is definitely not normal.

Whether it was Sakayanagi Narimori's suspension, Kanda's rise to power, or Tsukishiro Tsunenari in, they were all related to the political maneuvering behind Advanced Nurturing, and could not be considered normal occurrences.

Like Matoba some online novels: nothing much has happened in a certain place for decades or even centuries, but as soon as the protagonist arrives, all the conflicts are immediately ignited... The reason why this year's Advanced Nurturing students have caused such an extraordinary commotion is mainly because the identities of many of the new students are not ordinary.

He is like the Masterpiece of the White Room, the daughter of the Chairman Sakayanagi, the heir to the Koenji Conglomerate and the nobleman of Kanzaki Heavy Industries.

Add to that Aragaki Shun, the cheat-like individual and adopted son-in-law of the Aragaki Family, and even the most knowledgeable and experienced school officials would surely be secretly lamenting the chaotic state of affairs.

Many thoughts flashed through the boy's mind, but he didn't show them on his face. Instead, he calmly responded to Tsukishiro Tsunenari's greeting, "Hello, nice to meet you, Chairman Tsukishiro."

"Hehe~ Sit down first," Tsukishiro, his eyes still narrowed, making it impossible to discern his thoughts from his gaze. "Although this is our first meeting, I've long admired Aragaki- kun. I've heard about Aragaki deeds many times, both outside and at school."

Clearly having some knowledge of Aragaki Shun, Tsukishiro Tsunenari gestured for him to sit down, indicating that he could sit directly on the small sofa opposite him.

"I've always been very curious about Aragaki- Aragaki. To be the adopted son-in-law of such a powerful family, I really don't know what kind of extraordinary person he is."

Aragaki Shun sat down calmly, seemingly unconcerned by Tsukishiro's probing gaze, his demeanor exuding a relaxed air. "Unfortunately, I didn't have high expectations for Chairman Tsukishiro. Just hearing of your arrival told me that my carefree and enjoyable high school life was about to take an unexpected turn."

Unexpectedly, the other party was so impolite, and Tsukishiro Tsunenari, who was still smiling, subconsciously froze for a moment.

"... It seems that Aragaki- san has misunderstood me?"

"I don't think there's any misunderstanding. After all, you became the Board Chairman of Advanced Nurturing under the Ayanokoji Atsuomi, and my stance is undoubtedly opposed to that man's."

Aragaki Shun calmly pointed out the two camps, then bluntly stated, "Needless to say, I'm closer to Director Kanda, whom you replaced, and it's clear that his continued leadership of Advanced Nurturing would be more beneficial to my life at this school."

In short, they were not on the same wavelength, so the boy didn't bother with any insincere pleasantries.

Tsukishiro Tsunenari: "..."

What to do?

What the other party said made such a good point that there was no way to refute it.

The problem is, you are, after all, the heir to a large family, and barring unforeseen circumstances, you will inevitably stand at the pinnacle of a nation in the future.

In this situation, didn't the Aragaki Family teach you anything about interpersonal relationships and social etiquette?

Politicians, even if they secretly wish their enemies dead, cannot show it.

This is a public place; everyone should maintain a certain level of decorum. Why turn on someone so abruptly?

Sighing inwardly at how impatient young people were, Tsukishiro Tsunenari maintained his smiling demeanor, but naturally steered the conversation towards the main topic.

"So, Aragaki -kun is an impatient person. Well then, I won't waste any more words."

"The reason I called Aragaki over is that I hope she can do me a favor as the Aragaki Student Council President of this school."

Two cups of tea were brewed on the coffee table. Tsukishiro Tsunenari a serious attitude, and his tone sounded very sincere.

"My goal in coming to this school is definitely not to make things difficult for Aragaki -kun. Once the task is completed, the position of Board Chairman of the Board of Directors of Advanced Nurturing will naturally be returned to its original position."

"Help..." Aragaki Shun's attitude was somewhat ambiguous. "What can't the Board Chairman of the board do in this school that he needs to ask an ordinary student for help?"

No matter how you look at it, someone like you shouldn't be considered an ordinary student!

Tsukishiro Tsunenari silently complained to himself.

In this Advanced Nurturing, the Student Council holds a very special position, with the Student Council President power that even surpasses that of most faculty and staff.

Now that he is the Board Chairman, he can easily suppress ordinary Student Council President, since the power of the Student Council ultimately comes from the school.

However, the person in front of him was not only the Student Council President, but also the heir to a powerful family.

In Sakurajima's political circles, the Aragaki Family's influence is beyond imagination. Not to mention Ayanokoji Atsuomi, who only recently rose to power through the White Room, even if his former superior Naoe were to return to his peak, it would be difficult to say whether he would win or lose in the confrontation with the faction represented by that family.

Of course, now that the Councilor Kijima have successfully won the election and come to power, Advanced Nurturing doesn't really care about any student's background. Even if they are children of powerful and wealthy families, as long as there is a suitable reason, they can be arbitrarily placed in a lower class when class assignments are made.

After all, the competition in this school is just a game between children. For those behind the scenes, all they need to do is make sure their own children aren't deliberately suppressed or suffer a great loss.

The key point is that, even after assuming the Board Chairman, Tsukishiro Tsunenari still needs to be reasonable when dealing with someone of such extraordinary background and status.

Conversely, Tsukishiro yesterday forcefully demanded that all faculty and staff participate in Class Vote Exam, didn't need to reason with anyone—as the Board Chairman of the Advanced Nurturing, he simply had the right to demand that the faculty and staff carry out his orders.

If Aragaki Shun were merely a privileged son of a powerful family, like Koenji Rokusuke, then when Tsukishiro arranged the Special Exam, there would have been no need to seek a student's opinion.

However, the other party happens to be the Student Council President of this school, and according to the rules, he does have the right to participate in the formulation of rules for Special Exam.

In this way, Tsukishiro's ability to arrange exams not only couldn't overcome Aragaki Shun, but also couldn't use his background to intimidate him and force the arrangements; he had to follow the rules and proper procedures... This was quite frustrating.

"Well, Aragaki -san should know something about White Room, right?"

By deliberately adopting a helpless posture, Tsukishiro Tsunenari acted like a poor, exploited worker being squeezed by a heartless boss.

"Then you should also know that Ayanokoji Kiyotaka from Class 1-B is a member of the White Room. I came here on the instructions of his father, Dietman Ayanokoji, to bring this rebellious child back to that facility."

"Essentially, there's no conflict between us. Once I complete my mission and deprive Class 1-B of a usable fighter, wouldn't that be a good thing for Class A as well?"

It sounded like a lot of sense, but Aragaki Shun only gave it a cold laugh:

"So your idea of bringing Ayanokoji Kiyotaka back is to make all four first-year classes vote to elect a student who will drop out?"

Before being invited to the reception room, the Student Council had already received information about the Class Vote Exam, which Aragaki Shun promptly rejected.

It is important to emphasize that when participating in the formulation of Special Exam rules, even the Student Council President can only modify some permitted aspects within the framework set by the school, and does not have the power to refuse Special Exam.

On the other hand, under the Advanced Nurturing system, according to past practice, the school must also leave some rule gaps for the Student Council to participate in during each Special Exam, in order to cultivate the professional abilities of Student Council Member.

Therefore, Aragaki Shun really had no way to reject the Class Vote Exam proposed by Tsukishiro Tsunenari.

However, this did not prevent him from maintaining a professional attitude and reasonably delaying the time, since this Special Exam, which was added at the last minute, did indeed have many questionable aspects.

Under normal circumstances, his tactic of causing trouble by delaying would obviously not be very effective.

If the Student Council is deemed by the school to be unwilling to fulfill its responsibilities and refuse to cooperate with the school's work, even the Student Council President may be punished or even stripped of their position.

The problem is that Tsukishiro Tsunenari's actions are not normal.

It's the last day of February, and there's only one week left until the last Special Exam of the school year, which was originally scheduled.

The new Board Chairman to launch Class Vote at this time was already unusually rushed. The standard procedures, including faculty and staff preparations, announcing exam rules, having students from each class use various methods to garner votes, conducting the voting, and tallying the results, all require time.

If Aragaki Shun only needs to delay for a day or two, this shoddy plan will immediately fall apart.

Then we can give the Board of Directors a heads-up. The Student Council President will most likely not even be punished. On the contrary, Tsukishiro will be labeled as "newly appointed and unfamiliar with the rules of Advanced Nurturing, yet he has acted recklessly".

It was precisely because he understood this that the newly appointed Board Chairman, who was unreasonable in front of the class advisors yesterday, was now willing to sit down and talk to Aragaki Shun in a polite manner.

"I'm sorry, Chairman Tsukishiro, it's understandable that you're new here and want to make a name for yourself, but I still think the so-called Class Vote is ill-considered."

Sensing the sarcasm in the other person's words, the middle-aged man remained unfazed and continued to argue:

www. ShuB123. com

"I have no choice. Mr. Ayanokoji is pressuring me, and I have to act quickly. It wouldn't be good if this affected my reputation."

"Although this is an undeserved misfortune for students in other classes, I'm certain that this Class Vote will be a decisive blow to that child."

At this point, Tsukishiro's lips twitched, as if he had recalled some strange information, and he was clearly starting to lose his composure.

"I never imagined that Mr. Ayanokoji's child, the Masterpiece of the White Room, would almost be expelled from school for taking upskirt photos..."

Without a doubt, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's reputation for Advanced Nurturing is irreparable.

Especially among the female students, after the main culprits such as Yamauchi Haruki and Kanji Ike were punished, Ayanokoji, as a former close friend of theirs and the only survivor of the pool voyeurism incident, had long become a thorn in the side of all the female students in the school.

Therefore, in Tsukishiro Tsunenari's mind, as long as the Class Vote Exam could be implemented, the other party would definitely be the one with the most Criticism Vote in Class B —regardless of what he really thought, that was the meaning he conveyed in front of Aragaki Shun.

However, the Leader of Class A simply rolled his eyes at this.

Ultimately, most of the students in Class 1-B are sophisticated egoists.

As long as you are strong enough and can bring them sufficient benefits, then personal morality is not a major issue in the eyes of these subordinates.

Katsuragi Kohei's character Sakayanagi Arisu's, yet the latter still has so many followers, regardless of whether they spread rumors or betray him.
