Classroom of the Elite: I Can Add Points Without Limit

The Commander Tower of each class gathered in the multi-purpose classroom.

Class A has no choice but Aragaki Shun.

Class B is led by Katsuragi Kohei.

When they saw this Baldy, everyone else present was a little surprised - after all, in a formal showdown with Class A, Class B would have virtually no chance of winning the exam, and the losing team's Commander Tower would be expelled.

"Katsuragi, have you been abandoned by the class? That shouldn't be the case. Is this another example of Class B's traditional infighting?"

Kaneda Satoru, who arrived at the venue around the same time as the Leader of Class A, first greeted Aragaki Shun, and then saw Katsuragi Kohei, who was already standing at the door of the multipurpose classroom. He walked up to him with some curiosity and asked his question.

The tall Katsuragi remained as composed as ever, showing little reaction to the malicious speculation in Kaneda's words.

"I stand here with the belief that I will win this Special Exam. If you don't understand, then please stand aside and remain silent instead of deliberately damaging the atmosphere of our class!"

"Tch~ It's common knowledge in the school that Class 1-B likes to fight amongst themselves. What kind of slander is this!"

Jin Tian's face showed a disdainful expression. "And you're still thinking about turning the tables? After dreaming for so long, it's time to wake up and face reality, isn't it?"

Katsuragi Kohei ignored the other person's words and turned his head to silently observe the surrounding environment, which was quite like the saying "one cannot discuss ice with a summer insect."

Seeing this, Kaneda Satoru was not angry. He simply stood behind Aragaki Shun, looking every bit like a lackey.

Perhaps in his mind, once today's exam is over, the Baldy in front of him will leave Advanced Nurturing for good and be gone forever.

Since that's the case, why bother getting angry with a classmate from another class who's about to disappear?

Aragaki Shun listened to their conversation while staring out the window.

April is just around the corner, and today the weather is exceptionally clear, with a boundless, cloudless sky.

It's a great day for going out.

Even if someone gets expelled, they can easily take a bus home.

After about five more minutes, heavy footsteps finally began to sound from the front of the corridor.

The student who arrived just in time was none other than Hondo Ryotaro, the Commander Tower of Class D.

"Sorry, I chatted with some friends in my class for a while. I hope I kept you all waiting."

"It's alright. According to the time notified by the school, you're not late at all; in fact, you're just on time."

Aragaki Shun glanced at the mushroom-haired boy in front of him, but didn't say anything more.

The other person was fairly punctual and didn't intentionally cause trouble. Besides, it's perfectly normal for someone who's already prepared to drop out of school to spend more time saying goodbye to a few friends.

As for Katsuragi and Kaneda, they were both focused on the upcoming formal exams and naturally had no intention of bothering with a low-ranking student from Class D.

"Can't we go in now?"

"The school said they would inform the teacher once all four of them had arrived."

It's probably just for the sake of complete fairness.

If the Commander Tower of one class is allowed to enter the multi-purpose classroom first, no one knows whether the opposing team will secretly resort to underhanded tactics in order to win.

The other students, apart from those in the Commander Tower, would generally wait in the classroom on the other side, awaiting instructions from the multi-purpose classroom.

"It seems everyone is here. Let's follow me."

After waiting for another two or three minutes, a senior faculty member came out from the front of the corridor. Led by him, everyone entered the multipurpose classroom and found that a wall had been built in the classroom that was not there on the first day, dividing the room in half.

For temporary use, this wall is quite decent, and the sound insulation seems pretty good as well.

The four Commander Tower looked straight ahead and saw the four teachers in charge of the first grade lined up, waiting for orders.

"Students from Class A and Class B, please move to that side."

Aragaki Shun then gestured to Kaneda Satoru and Hondo Ryotaro to proceed according to plan, while he himself followed Sakagami Kazuma's instructions to the next room, with Katsuragi Kohei following behind Chabashira Sae, heading towards the same destination.

Obviously, in order to prevent students and teachers from colluding to cheat, the school specifically arranged for each class advisor to monitor the examination rooms outside the classes they were responsible for.

For example, the competition between Class A and Class B was jointly proctored by the homeroom teachers of Class C and Class D.

Conversely, classes Class C and Class D were handled by Chie Hoshinomiya and Mashima Tomoya.

"The exam will begin in five minutes. If you need to prepare anything, such as going to the restroom or getting a drink, please do so as soon as possible."

After Sakagami Kazuma gave this warning, he and Chabashira Sae began checking the surrounding equipment to see if any accidents had occurred.

Seeing this, and having nothing else to do, Aragaki Shun simply asked Katsuragi Kohei across the street how he felt.

"Even though the chances of victory are slim, and if we lose this Special Exam, as the Commander Tower, we will have to bear the corresponding responsibility and be forced to leave the Advanced Nurturing, why are you still standing here, Katsuragi?"

The Leader of Class A was very curious, "Why not just have Hashimoto Masayoshi sacrificed? I don't think many people in your class like him, right?"

"How arrogant!" Hearing Aragaki Shun's tone, which took victory for granted, Katsuragi Kohei closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he had an unprecedentedly fierce demeanor.

"For the sake of the class, I must fight for our hopes; for my own sake, I must seek justice for Yahiko. No matter what, I will never give up on this Special Exam..."

Anyone could see that if Class 1-B continued like this, it would only be a slow death.

To be honest, Katsuragi himself wasn't very confident that he could win this Selection Exam.

But it doesn't matter. Even if he ultimately can't win, he wants to show his classmates the possibility of turning defeat into victory in the future.

The exam has a total of seven assessment items, and Katsuragi's goal is simply to win as many as possible.

To secure complete victory, at least four events need to be won, but for Class B, winning even just three, two, or one event is of extraordinary significance.

This means that Class A and Class B in the first grade are still on the same level, and there is no significant gap between them.

In other words, gods cannot be injured or bleed—any being that can be injured can also be killed, and therefore is not a god, but merely a mortal being in a higher position!

Similarly, if Class B can win even one event in this Special Exam, it will prove that they still have a chance to catch up and make a comeback in the future.

"Oh, so that's what you all think?"

Sensing the will in the Baldy's gaze, Aragaki Shun narrowed his eyes slightly, a playful smile playing on his lips.

To some extent, the opponent's thinking is unreasonable—there are a total of seven events, and the final result is either 7:0 or 6:1. It seems like only one game has changed between the two scores, but in reality, the latter is still at the same level, while the former may be worlds apart.

"Since that's the case, then I have no choice but to use all my strength to bestow despair upon you!"

I was initially thinking I could just give it a pass, but now it seems I need to take it seriously.

"Class B doesn't need the enemy's pity," Katsuragi Kohei. "We will earn the glory we deserve through our own strength."

At this point, the two had nothing more to say; the outcome would be decided in the competition.

"That's about it. The Selection Exam is about to begin. Please take your seats in the designated areas."

Sakagami Kazuma checked the time on his phone and began giving instructions. Aragaki Shun and Katsuragi Kohei were thus facing each other through the equipment, unable to see what was happening on the other side.

The Leader of Class A opened the computer in front of him, which displayed photos of the faces of the Class A members. Apart from himself, there were a total of fifty-one people.

According to the examination rules, as the Commander Tower, I need to assign these members to suitable projects so that they can give full play to their abilities.

Immediately afterwards, the large screen in the middle displayed a total of twenty items prepared by two more classes.

"I am Sakagami, in charge of administering the Special Exam. Now, we will begin the final Special Exam of the year. Please select five items from each class and press the confirmation button."

Upon hearing the instructions, Aragaki Shun didn't hesitate and immediately selected the five items from Class A's ten projects that would actually be used for the duel.

[Rapid Mental Calculation], [Mathematics Exam], [Physics Exam], [Chemistry Exam], and [Biology Exam].

Not long after, Class B, under the command of Katsuragi Kohei, also finished its selection, and the results were displayed on the big screen.

[100m Dash]; [Discus Throw]; [Relay Combat]; [Swimming] and [Standing Long Jump].

Hmm~ It's a very obvious comparison.

If the projects decided by Class A are all written tests, the goal is to extend the scope of the Commander Tower's interference as much as possible.

As the opposing team, Class B's projects are all sports-related, and the rules aim to minimize the interference of the Commander Tower.

This is a very reasonable strategy.

Since Aragaki Shun is in charge of Commander Tower and cannot personally participate, if Class B wants to win, they cannot compete with Class A in terms of overall strength. Instead, they should focus on the top-tier strength of Ayanokoji and Koenji to develop their strategies and find ways to allow the two to participate in more matches.

The exam rules stipulate a limit on the number of participants per event: a minimum of one person and a maximum of twenty participants per event, including substitutes. A class can register a maximum of two events with more than ten participants each.

In addition, the participation conditions are also stipulated that each student can participate in one event, and only if all students have participated in one round of examination events can they participate in more than two events.

From this perspective, the best way for Class B to beat Class A is to design two projects with more than ten participants each, with the winning condition being the class of the first-place winner.

Then, Koenji and Ayanokoji will each lead a team. As long as they quickly go through a round of the Class B, they can then participate in the second round of the competition.

If they're lucky enough, Koenji and Ayanokoji could each win two events, securing victory with just four.

In this process, the Commander Tower, which is in charge of directing the operation, needs to assign the students of Class B, including the two of them, to the right projects at the right time. This is undoubtedly the key role, which is why Katsuragi Kohei chose to do it himself instead of handing the task over to Hashimoto Masayoshi.

Ignoring the opinions of the two Commander Tower, and seeing that the events for both classes had been decided, the class teacher of Class C continued, "Next, a completely random draw will be conducted, and the school will decide the seven competition events."

"The giant screen in the center will display the results of the lottery. Please look over there."

Aragaki Shun turned his head to look and saw that the screen had turned into a 3D image, displaying the words "Drawing lots".

After a few seconds of flashing, the first battle of Class B, as shown in the image, was --

[Mathematics Exam]

Number of people needed: 2;

Time limit: 50 minutes;

Competition Rules: The class that answers the questions within the scope of this year's curriculum first wins.

Commander Tower: Only one participant can be selected. Command Tower can provide answer suggestions at any time, and the participant can decide whether to adopt them.

"The first event is Class A project, looks like I'm luckier after all."

Aragaki Shun smiled outwardly, but inwardly he was not surprised at all.

His Personal Panel originally had a talent called [Turn Misfortune into Good Fortune], which was later merged with [Abnormal Neglect] and automatically advanced to [Abnormal Correction] after reaching level 6.

Besides being unmonitored and unrecorded, its effects also greatly increase his luck and correct some hidden unfavorable factors.

Therefore, if it's truly a matter of random drawing and luck, Aragaki Shun will absolutely not lose to anyone.

"This is only the first match, not to mention that Class B might not necessarily lose."

Katsuragi Kohei's work remains unchanged.

With both classes having five events, the probability of selecting either class for the first match is 50%.

Therefore, it is quite normal that Class B's project was not selected.

It is indeed difficult to defeat the opponent in the written test rules set by Class A, but the key to this Special Exam is how to win in the items chosen by the opponent.

Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, we should give it a try.

Therefore, for this match, Katsuragi Kohei directly assigned the two students from Class B who were best at math, besides Koenji and Ayanokoji, to try and see if they could get a point.

Aragaki Shun then chose Shiranami Chihiro and another above-average student from Class A. He then decisively used his Commander Tower authority to personally supervise Chihiro as she did the exercises, sending her text messages to correct any mistakes she made.

Fifty minutes later, amidst an increasingly somber atmosphere, the school began to announce the results.

"The winner of this event is Shiranami Chihiro, who scored 100 points. Therefore, Class A is the winner."

This was an expected result, and even the Baldy was only slightly disappointed, thinking to himself that it was just as he expected.

Soon, the second test was announced—a Chemistry Exam.

Once again, a project from Class A was selected.

This time, Katsuragi Kohei instinctively frowned.

349. Class A won three consecutive games; therefore, Ayanokoji made his move.

As the second competition approached, it was once again Class A's project that was selected.

Katsuragi Kohei frowned instinctively, a bad feeling rising in his heart.

"Phew~ Calm down. Class A has four projects left, and Class B has five. With a four-in-nine probability, it's quite normal for the school to randomly assign projects to the other class."

[Chemistry Exam]

Number of people needed: four;

Time limit: 50 minutes;

Competition Rules: The class that answers the questions within the scope of this year's curriculum first wins.

Commander Tower: Only one participant can be selected. Command Tower can provide answer suggestions at any time, and the participant can decide whether to adopt them.

"Looks like Class A is going to take another point." Aragaki Shun chuckled as he assigned suitable contestants via computer.
