Classroom of the Elite, I Can Add Points Infinitely Chapter 47

No matter the cost, I must absolutely not repeat the mistakes of middle school!

"How boring."

Horikita Suzune was unaware of Karuizawa Kei's inner thoughts, so seeing this scene, she only felt that as the leader of the girls in her class, the other party was being incredibly unprofessional.

What was even more irritating was that the idiots in her class would rather let this airhead negotiate terms than listen to her orders; it was simply incomprehensible.

With that, she left the Class A classroom with a face as cold as frost.

"Horikita-san, wait for me!"

Kushida Kikyo hurriedly followed, turning back to give Karuizawa Kei an encouraging gesture along the way.

Yosuke Hirata smiled, greeted the three people from Class A, and then left in a clean and decisive manner.

Aragaki Shun watched Karuizawa Kei's increasingly anxious expression, then focused on the new notifications appearing on his personal panel—

[Achievement Completed: End the Midterm Exam before it even begins, Source Power +3.]

[Achievement Completed: Sign a Private Points transfer contract with Class C and Class D of the first year again, Source Power +2.]

[Achievement Completed: Stop the harassment from Class C of the first year and threaten their homeroom teacher, Source Power +2.]

[Source Power: 10→17 (Current efficiency: 4 per month)]

Seeing this, Aragaki Shun did not hesitate and immediately invested his excess Source Power into [Turn Misfortune into Good Fortune]—

[Turn Misfortune into Good Fortune lv.2 (0/3)→lv.4 (0/5)]

[Source Power: 17→10 (Current efficiency: 4 per month)]

Feeling the luck-based talent that had been strengthened to the limit of a normal human, Aragaki Shun looked at Karuizawa Kei once more.

This time, that vague intuition became even more pronounced.

He no longer hesitated and directly accepted Karuizawa Kei's invitation.

"Fine. I happen to be free after six o'clock tomorrow evening. Let me know once you've found a place."

97. Private Points exceed ten million again

"Is the type of girl Aragaki-kun likes... someone like Karuizawa-san?"

After the representatives from the three classes had left, Ichinose Honami seemed a bit concerned and couldn't help but ask Aragaki Shun.

"Don't let your imagination run wild here."

Aragaki Shun tidied up the items on his desk and made a move to stand up and leave. "I just agreed to have a meal with her, and she's the one paying, anyway."

"Is it really that simple?"

Ichinose Honami pouted slightly, putting on an expression that said, "Don't try to brush me off."

"Students in Class D only have twenty thousand Private Points for living expenses this month. They have to live frugally just to make it through the month, so they don't have spare money to treat others to meals, let alone treat you, the leader of Class A and the wealthiest person in the first year."

Yet, Karuizawa Kei did exactly that. Anyone with a normal IQ could guess what kind of intentions she had.

And clearly, Aragaki Shun's IQ could not be lower than that of a normal person.

Since he had guessed her intentions and still accepted the invitation... didn't that say something?

After all, given Aragaki Shun's personality, if he truly had no interest in Karuizawa Kei, he would have rejected such useless socializing immediately; he wouldn't be polite just because the other person was a girl.

Watching Ichinose Honami's suspicious gaze, Aragaki Shun sighed, picked up a book from the side, and tapped her on the head.

"Eh?"

"Ichinose, are you too free? If so, I can have Kanzaki share some of his work with you."

"I-I was just asking on behalf of Chihiro. You know how that girl feels."

Ichinose Honami rubbed her forehead, feeling a bit aggrieved. How could he be so rude to a girl?

Aragaki Shun shook his head. He had intended to tease Ichinose back, but at that moment, his phone rang again.

"Ring~"

Aragaki Shun looked at the caller ID labeled "Chairman Sakayanagi," nodded to Ichinose and Kanzaki, and walked out of the classroom to a quiet spot to answer the call.

"Good afternoon, Chairman. Is there something you need to inform me about, calling at this hour?"

"Good afternoon, Aragaki-kun. I apologize for the sudden call, but it concerns the incident at the electronics store yesterday. The school has finished processing it, so I wanted to explain the resolution to you as the involved party..."

It had only happened yesterday afternoon, and it was already completely resolved today. The reason for the school's high efficiency was naturally because Aragaki Shun had gone directly to the Chairman of Advanced Nurturing.

Furthermore, the heinous act of the clerk attacking Aragaki Shun had occurred directly under a security camera, leaving the other party with no room to argue.

Therefore, the disposal of the clerk was simple: send him straight to prison. What Aragaki Shun cared more about was the school's compensation.

"...After negotiating with the electronics store's partners, it was decided that both sides will transfer two million Private Points to you, Aragaki-kun, to compensate for the emotional distress caused by this incident. Are you satisfied with this, Aragaki-kun?"

Two million from each side, totaling four million—the school's sincerity was evident.

However, Aragaki Shun also knew that the school could be this generous because of the background he possessed.

If an ordinary student had been attacked, the school likely wouldn't have cared this much, at most offering a few hundred thousand Private Points while trying to suppress the matter to avoid damaging the reputation of Advanced Nurturing.

In the end, ordinary students simply didn't have the qualifications to negotiate with the school.

However, when dealing with Aragaki Shun, things could not be handled so crudely.

Otherwise, once the results reached the Aragaki Family, they might suspect that Kodo Ikusei Senior High School was intentionally targeting their heir.

"I can accept this outcome, but I would like to ask, has the school investigated that clerk's browsing history and online comments?"

"As far as I know, the reason he lost his mind and attacked me yesterday was because he was obsessed online with a gravure idol named 'Shizuku', and the true identity of 'Shizuku' is none other than my classmate, Sakura Airi, who was with me yesterday."

Aragaki Shun thought for a moment and decided to add a bit more jail time for that clerk.

Although given his background, the school would certainly deal with anyone who dared to attack him with the utmost severity, that didn't stop him from proactively stating his position.

"Please rest assured, Aragaki-kun. The school has already investigated the ins and outs of this incident, and as for Sakura-san, the school has also sent someone to comfort her..."

After a brief chat, the Board Chairman hung up the phone, citing the busy affairs of Kodo Ikusei as an excuse.

Aragaki Shun naturally didn't have much to talk about with a middle-aged man, so he was happy to get off the line early.

After the conversation ended, he stood in place for a few minutes, and soon the compensation mentioned by the Board Chairman arrived.

However, to his surprise, the transfer he received in his personal account was not the agreed-upon 4 million, but 4.95 million.

Where did this extra 950,000 come from?

Before Aragaki Shun could harbor any doubts, the Board Chairman sent another email, concisely explaining the situation.

It turned out that this 950,000 was the personal points the clerk had saved up in the school.

After the school confiscated all the points from the clerk, under the Board Chairman's instructions, they transferred them directly to Aragaki Shun's account along with the school's compensation.

Looking at it this way, the Board Chairman certainly knew how to handle people.

It was just a pity that his daughter, Sakayanagi Arisu, didn't learn a thing from him.

After a brief moment of reflection, Aragaki Shun checked his personal point balance; after adding this 4.95 million, the number had already exceeded 8.91 million.

The reason it was so low was that a significant portion of his funds had been transferred to Anonymous Point Cards.

Currently, the total money on all his point cards added up to about 500,000.

In other words, the personal points he could freely spend now actually totaled 9.41 million.

If one were to count the 800,000 from the long-term contract signed today, his personal points would once again exceed ten million after the Midterm Exam.

It really was a pleasant feeling.

Aragaki Shun was whistling, about to leave this corner and head to the cafeteria for a meal, when another transfer notification arrived.

This was unexpected; surely Ryuen Kakeru and Sakagami Kazuma couldn't be that efficient, could they?

But apart from them, he hadn't scammed anyone else in the last few days.

Filled with curiosity, Aragaki Shun first saw the 500,000 transfer amount on his phone, followed by a name he had never considered.

[Sakura Airi]: "Aragaki-kun, these are the points the school gave me. I think it's more appropriate to transfer them to you."

98. Sakura Airi wants to repay a debt

Kodo Ikusei Senior High School, first-year girls' dormitory.

In a dimly lit room, Sakura Airi lay on her bed, nervously looking at the email she had finally gathered the courage to send after much hesitation.

"Aragaki-kun..."

Sakura Airi whispered the name softly.

In a trance, her memory returned to yesterday's encounter, and scenes played out repeatedly in the red-haired girl's mind.

Their fated collision at the street corner, being suddenly pulled into the boy's arms at the electronics store, being gently stroked on the cheek by Aragaki-kun, being carried bridal-style, and hearing those embarrassing words... and finally, Aragaki-kun decisively dealing with the crazed clerk before calmly telling her that it was all over.

"Ugh~"

At the mere thought of those scenes from yesterday, Sakura Airi's face turned burning hot.

"No, I can't think about it anymore, my brain is going to break!"

Sakura Airi covered her face, buried her head in her quilt, and tossed and turned, trying to shake off her increasingly chaotic thoughts.

Otherwise, if she let her imagination run wild, Sakura feared she would be too embarrassed to ever leave her dorm room again.

This was her first intimate contact with a boy her age, and the object of her affection was the school heartthrob whom all the first-year girls wanted to date, plus the added bonus of a "hero saves the beauty" fantasy... for a pure-hearted girl, this brief encounter was simply too overwhelming.

"Aragaki-kun..."

Lifting the quilt, Sakura Airi couldn't help but whisper the name again.

It had been less than a day of knowing him, but Sakura Airi couldn't control herself; she had been thinking about him since last night, and she had been dazed during class today.

Fortunately, she had always been on the fringes in Class D; it had been over a month since school started, and she hadn't made any friends, so she went completely unnoticed, and no classmates or teachers had discovered her unusual behavior.

After returning to the dormitory from school, the girl had spent her time fiddling with her broken digital camera while occasionally giggling, completely unaware of the passage of time.

It wasn't until a female teacher suddenly visited to inform her of the final outcome of yesterday's incident and gave her 500,000 personal points as hush money that Sakura finally emerged from her inner world.

Regaining her senses, the girl looked at the sudden influx of personal points and, after much hesitation, transferred the hush money to Aragaki Shun.

Of course, the reason Sakura hesitated wasn't because she cared about the 500,000 personal points; she just didn't know how to write an email to communicate with Aragaki Shun.

The girl stared at her phone screen, unable to type more than a few words before she couldn't help but delete them.

She typed and deleted, deleted and typed again, unsatisfied and deleting once more. This process lasted for several minutes until, realizing it was almost time for dinner, she hurriedly transferred the Private Points and quickly added an explanation.

What exactly would Aragaki Shun think?

Sakura Airi held her phone in front of her with trepidation, wanting to see the reply the moment it arrived, yet feeling too afraid to look.

However, it turned out that Sakura was overthinking things. Aragaki Shun's response was quick and simple: a single question mark, followed by the actual content.

[Aragaki Shun]: "These are the points the school compensated you with. Why are you transferring them to me?"

[Aragaki Shun]: "I received my own compensation from the school as well. Keep these five hundred thousand for yourself."

[Aragaki Shun]: "By the way, your Class D seems to have a bunch of unreliable people. It would be best not to let anyone know you have these points."

A few seconds after these messages arrived, a notification appeared on Sakura Airi's phone indicating a deposit; he had truly returned the full five hundred thousand Private Points.

The girl immediately pouted in frustration. Forgetting her shyness, she hurriedly sent a flurry of messages, emphasizing that she hadn't done anything and really shouldn't accept the money.

[Sakura Airi]: "That clerk—I saw him when I bought my camera. His eyes were terrifying and disgusting. If it weren't for Aragaki-kun, I definitely wouldn't have dared to go back to that electronics store."

[Aragaki Shun]: "If it weren't for me, your digital camera wouldn't have been broken, and there would have been no need to go to that shop."

[Sakura Airi]: "No! It's not like that!"

Lying on her bed, the red-haired girl propped up her upper body with her elbows and took a deep breath, as if to steel her resolve.

She wanted to try; if it were Aragaki-kun, would it be okay to tell him those secrets?

"Then let's head back to the dorms now. I'm also looking forward to Airi showing me her true self."

"Ugh~"

Wh-why did she have to recall that embarrassing line again?

Forget it! Just forget it already!

That was just something Aragaki-kun said to intentionally provoke the clerk into acting! Stop thinking about it!

She slapped her flushed cheeks with her free hand, her gaze drifting for a moment, but she quickly remembered she still had messages to reply to and hurriedly swiped at her phone again.
