Classroom of the Elite: I Can Add Points Without Limit
"Wow~ It seems that teachers and students from other classes have arrived besides us."
With Chie Hoshinomiya's exclamation, the classroom door was opened.

What came into view for the two of them were the homeroom teachers and students in charge of each class.
Koenji Rokusuke from Class B, Manabe Shiho from Class C, and Kushida Kikyo from Class D.
The members present from Class C and Class D were clearly not the real Commander Tower; they were merely class representatives responsible for drawing lots.
As for Koenji Rokusuke, he most likely won't personally take the stage as the Commander Tower in this Special Exam.
"I thought I'd see Hashimoto Masayoshi here. Could it be that, Koenji, you've finally come to your senses and decided to have a proper duel with me?"
"It's hard to say," the blond man simply smiled. "I'm always blessed by the heavens for my beauty, so naturally I won't miss this draw."
"That's a pity, but when it comes to luck, I'm never inferior to anyone."
Once he realized that the other party was really just there to make a brief appearance, Aragaki Shun immediately lost interest and instead greeted Kushida and Manabe.
Two minutes later, an older teacher came over and led everyone to two computers and a large shared screen.

"Now that all the class Commander Tower have assembled, I'd like to proceed with the procedure for determining the opposing class. Each of you will draw a lot. The Student Council draws the piece of paper with the red dot will have the right to choose."
The process is very simple: each faculty member has a box with lots, and four people must each draw a lot in the order of A, B, C, and D.
"Then I'll definitely take the challenge!"
Aragaki Shun and Hoshinomiya exchanged a glance, and without any intention of refusing, stepped forward and pulled out a blank sheet of paper.

Next, in order, are Koenji Rokusuke, Manabe Shiho, and Kushida Kikyo.

However, after the display, only the card drawn by the Leader of Class A at the beginning had a specific red mark.
Upon seeing this result, Koenji Rokusuke was not surprised. Although drawing lots depends on luck, it does not prevent Class A, Class C, and Class D from being a single entity.
Unless Class B gets lucky and gets the right to choose, it makes no difference to him which of the other three stands out in the process.
Tell me which class you want to specify.
After the lottery results were confirmed, the faculty member in charge looked at Aragaki Shun, indicating that he could make a choice.
"Naturally, Class A still wants to have a showdown between the strongest teams against Class B. I hope you, Koenji, won't let me down."
From Class A's perspective, whether they chose Class C or Class D, they would have easily won all seven games.
Even if we win against Class B, we might still lose one or two points along the way.
From this perspective, does this choice seem somewhat risky?
Maybe, but that's irrelevant.
Because Aragaki Shun wants to bring these last rebels down to the very bottom of the Advanced Nurturing!
Not to mention--
Should I avoid a mere Class B?
345. Kushida Kikyo wanted to curse; Class D still managed to get by.
Aragaki Shun stated that in this world, there has never been a time when others avoid him.
Should I avoid a mere Class B?
Of course, we just drove right over there!
"Then let's have Class A versus Class B, Class C versus Class D, is that alright?"
All four class representatives present nodded.
After repeated confirmation by the faculty members in charge of the relevant work, the opposing classes for this Selection Exam were decided.
"Next, we will explain the system that was specifically prepared for this exam."
After the draw, everyone was directed to look at the computer on the left side of the large screen. As Class D- class teacher Chabashira Sae operated the screen, a series of images were projected.
"The official exam will be held in this multi-purpose classroom on the day of the competition. At that time, the Commander Tower of the two competing classes will each be assigned a computer. Their job will be to select suitable participants from their classes in a timely manner at the start of each event."
"Look at Chabashira-sensei's demonstration. Her computer has a list of students in Class A. Just use the mouse to drag the headshots of the students you want to select, and then drop them into the project box. That's the participant for this project."
"If you make a mistake or want to change it midway, simply drag the selection outside the frame with your mouse to select it again. Alternatively, you can use your fingertip to touch the screen."
Not only can you use a mouse, but you can also touch the screen with your fingertips. It seems like a fairly easy process; surely no Commander Tower wouldn't understand such a simple system?
The faculty member in charge of the explanation looked at the four class representatives in front of him, and after confirming that no one had any questions, continued:
"Each project has a time limit for selecting students, which is the number that is currently being counted down. The more students a project needs, the more time there will be for selection. You can think of it as approximately thirty seconds per person."
According to the exam rules, a maximum of twenty people can participate in one event, so there will be six hundred seconds to choose.
Without a doubt, this was specifically given to the Commander Tower for reflection.
After all, the same person cannot play twice before all the students in the class have had their turn.
The formal exam consists of seven sections. How to allocate resources to win at least four sections is a crucial question that every Commander Tower needs to carefully consider.
"If we cannot select all students within the time limit, the remaining number will be randomly selected, so please be aware of this. Conversely, if there are too many students, we will randomly remove some."
In other words, timeouts are not allowed, and random selections are strictly prohibited.
"Once the exam begins, the proceedings will be broadcast live on a large screen."
"The details of the Commander Tower's interference will be provided in text after the exam begins, and you can check them on your screen at any time."
As the instructors explained, the computer interface controlled by Chabashira Sae began to display the words "You can call a halt and the Commander Tower can make the next move" in bold, large letters.
This is one manifestation of the "Commander Tower intervention" that was explained beforehand.
"You can confirm the content, and you can also click to initiate the intervention."
Soon, the screen switched back to the game.
"Please remember, the Commander Tower transmits instructions not through phone calls, but through a machine that automatically reads the message aloud. Simply type the text and press the confirmation button, and it will be transmitted to the participants' walkie-talkies..."
Does this mean the Commander Tower can only type out text, which must be approved by the machine before it can be transmitted to the participants?
At other times, the Commander Tower and the participants are not allowed to talk to each other. The school even prepared soundproofing materials to ensure that no unexpected improper contact would occur between the two.
Upon closer examination, this seems quite normal.
After all, for things like written tests and chess games, if you can communicate directly, there's a lot more room for intervention.
For example, the intervention in this case could be interpreted as "the Commander Tower can take another step," but by cleverly combining the dialogue, it is easy to convey two or three different messages.
To prevent such violations from occurring, faculty members also issued a direct warning:
"If the Commander Tower acts beyond its authority, the proctor has the right to declare the other party guilty of a foul and disqualify them from participating in this event."
In other words, regardless of the situation on the other side, they will be judged to have lost.
Therefore, the Commander Tower must be more careful when typing.
"Furthermore, only one person per event will be equipped with a walkie-talkie. Even in team competitions, only one person can receive instructions. The Commander Tower will designate who wears the walkie-talkie."
"As long as the rules are followed, any instruction from the Commander Tower can be inserted at any time."
There seems to be more to do than I imagined.
However, overall, the degree of interference the Commander Tower has in the exams is still influenced by the rules when the project was designed, which means that each class decides for itself.
The key point is that once the project is finalized and approved by the school, there's no going back; everyone, regardless of whether they're on the opposing side or not, can only take the exam according to the written instructions.
"The above outlines the duties and operating procedures of the Commander Tower. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask them here."
As the images on the screen stopped changing, the faculty member in charge of the explanation looked around at the class representatives present and finally received the response that "there are no questions".
"That concludes today. If you wish to reconfirm the operating procedures or other matters, you are permitted to do so in the multi-purpose classroom with a teacher present, as long as it is within one week of the exam. That's all."
And so, the drawing of lots to determine the opposing classes and the explanation of the Commander Tower were completed.
Immediately afterwards, everyone was told to disperse.
"It seems that these are all the things we need to pay attention to."
Aragaki Shun casually glanced around at his surroundings, then looked at Koenji Rokusuke playful expression. "The rules of the exam aren't difficult, and I have enough confidence in Class A. I just wonder who Class B will choose to be the unlucky Commander Tower this time?"
"Haha~ This should be a choice that surprises Aragaki- boy."
Koenji Rokusuke remained as self-willed as ever, showing no sign of dejection despite being at a disadvantage in the competition.
"The beautiful me has decided to give the world a surprise on stage, so please look forward to the outcome of this test, Aragaki boy!"
After saying that, Koenji didn't stay any longer to familiarize himself with the environment. He waved and turned to leave the multipurpose classroom.
Aragaki Shun shook his head, somewhat helpless at this person's capricious attitude, but he had long been used to it.
Although he was somewhat puzzled by the inexplicable confidence in the other person's words, he didn't think he and Class A would lose, so he didn't take such self-motivating remarks to heart.
After all, there are more important things that need his attention right now.
Thinking of this, the Leader of Class A looked at Manabe Shiho and Kushida Kikyo, who had been observing the classroom setup.
In this Selection Exam, Class C will face off against Class D, but the Commander Tower for both classes haven't been decided yet.
As the Student Council President shoulders the Advanced Nurturing and fall of twelve classes, and with two of his classes forced into infighting under the school's will, he must lead his followers to find the most suitable outcome.
After leaving the multipurpose classroom, Aragaki Shun and then took Manabe Shiho and Kushida Kikyo to the Cultural and Entertainment Club's classroom.
This was originally a private space he had created for himself, and few people usually spent time here. It was the perfect place to discuss Special Exam matters with students from other classes.
However, the Cultural and Entertainment Club actually has quite a few members. In Class A, Class C, and Class D, there are some students who are not interested in other clubs who join here, aiming for the 5,000 Private Points per person per month issued by the school.
However, Aragaki Shun basically handled all the submissions for the Cultural and Entertainment Club, while other members only needed to come and sign in occasionally and submit some documents, which resulted in few people coming to participate on weekdays... The key point is that everyone knows this place is actually the personal base of the Leader of Class A, so anyone with a modicum of sense wouldn't come and bother them for no reason.
"What are your thoughts on the match between Class C and Class D?"
Randomly finding a seat on the sofa, Aragaki Shun stated directly, "Let's get this straight: for this Special Exam, I'm directly designating Class B as the opposing class. This is the biggest help I can give to the lower-ranked classes. Don't expect me to provide any more assistance."
It's a very simple principle: if Class A chooses either Class C or Class D, then the other class will have to compete against Class B.
In this situation, both Class C and Class D will inevitably suffer a significant loss of evaluation points, and each will lose one class member due to their defeat.
But now that Aragaki Shun has taken the initiative to take on the responsibility of fighting against Class B, the two lower-ranked classes only need to cooperate with each other. The worst consequence would be that one of the classes would have its Commander Tower expelled... It can be said that Aragaki Shun has already taken good care of them, and it is absolutely impossible for him to spend Twenty Million Personal Points on charity.
After all, Class A is the dominant force in this system, while Classes Class C and Class D are merely subordinates to the system. Giving too much would be going against the grain.
Manabe Shiho and Kushida Kikyo naturally understood these things, so neither of them was surprised by the Student Council President's attitude.
The former simply didn't care about these things, and sat down next to the boy, squeezing his whole body into Aragaki Shun's arms.
"Whatever, Aragaki-kun, once you give the order, what can those guys in the class do to object?"
Grabbing the boy's arm and holding it tightly to her soft chest, Manabe's face revealed a uniquely glamorous charm, exuding a seductive aura. Her mind was clearly not on the Special Exam, but had already strayed into the realm of the unconventional.
Upon seeing this, Kushida Kikyo was immediately dumbfounded.
No, don't you guys hide these things and your ambiguous relationships from others?
Or am I actually being used as a tool to lighten the mood?
"Haha~ Aragaki -kun, Manabe- kun, are you two in that kind of relationship? This is the first time I've heard of this..."
"Huh?" Manabe Shiho seemed a little confused. "Kushida, aren't you and Aragaki-kun usually quite close? Haven't you taken that step yet?"
That's strange, isn't it!
Even though Aragaki-kun is known for being quite the womanizer, having taken in her, Yamashita Saki, and Yabu Nanami all at once, Kushida Kikyo, the undisputed angel of the first year, is still waiting for him... Could it be that this student in Class D has some hidden problem, and is even older than those three hot girls?
As for the possibility that Kushida Kikyo doesn't actually have feelings for Aragaki Shun and that their relationship is just pure friendship... the girl only considered this possibility briefly before dismissing it. Their usual interactions didn't seem like they had no connection at all; during the Sports Festival, she even let Aragaki Shun carry her in a princess carry in front of everyone.
Kushida Kikyo: "..."
Seeing the unmistakable confusion on the surface of the Manabe, the little angel was already cursing inwardly.
This is showing off, isn't it? Absolutely showing off!
You think everyone's as shameless, adulterous, and despicable as you bitches? Absolutely awful!!!
A chill ran through him; the Transcendentalist, relying solely on intuition, pinpointed the culprit—and if nothing unexpected happened, the little angel was already mentally cursing him and Manabe to the bone.
