Another one.
Third-Year Class C, Yukinoshita Hachiman, 1.2 million Private Points confiscated.
Senior Yukinoshita of Third-Year Class C was the trading partner arranged by the Sakayanagi Faction to purchase school intelligence.
There is nothing to be said about this point.
However, Senior Nagumo Miyabi had 300,000 points deducted on his end...
"Actually, I was quite sincere," Senior Nagumo said. "When I came to your class last time, if you, Kamuro-kouhai, had admitted back then that you participated in the reporting of Shirogane-kun."
"Then your class could have still received a reward of 50 class evaluation points."
"Can you admit it now?" Yahiko, who was following behind Katsuragi, couldn't help but speak up.
He had been ordered by Katsuragi-kun to remain silent the entire way, but now, he couldn't hold it in.
Because this was an opportunity concerning the ability to widen the gap.
The current class evaluation score for Class A was 924 points, while the class where Shirogane was located was already the new Class B, with a score of 735 points.
The gap between the two classes was less than 200 points, but if Kamuro-san could secure those 50 points, it could bring the class a far greater lead once again.
To him, Katsuragi-kun was the one who could lead the class. Sakayanagi had indeed brought advantages to the class, but Sakayanagi was too radical, and the people on her side seemed to have defaulted to the idea of paying tribute to her, whereas Katsuragi-kun of the Katsuragi Faction completely disagreed with such actions.
At most, he only asked everyone to submit 25% of their points as a reserve fund for exams.
This was the kind of leader one could rely on.
"Regarding that—" Just as Senior Nagumo was about to continue, a rather cute voice came from the side.
It turned out that Classmate Sakayanagi had already shifted her gaze away from the bulletin board.
"I don't think it's necessary," Sakayanagi Arisu said. "If one is to haggle over 50 points, then when facing the upcoming special exams, one will also be constrained by such trivial points."
"Such behavior will lead to a great loss sooner or later."
In other words, picking up sesame seeds only to lose the watermelon.
"Besides, if you are so keen on these 50 points, may I interpret that as your vision being only this small?" Sakayanagi said.
"Sakayanagi, you!" Yahiko immediately couldn't help himself in the face of Sakayanagi Arisu's provocation.
"Wait a moment, Yahiko." Katsuragi raised a hand. Yahiko was good in every way and very supportive of him, but he was prone to impatience. "Senior Nagumo, when you mentioned this 50-point matter, did you mean that even if Kamuro-san hadn't participated in the reporting of Shirogane-kun, this reward could still be obtained?"
"In other words, can one obtain points even by twisting the facts?" Katsuragi-kun asked.
"I didn't say that directly," Nagumo said, opening his hands.
But not saying it directly meant he had said it euphemistically.
Therefore, Nagumo was passing information to Katsuragi and Sakayanagi. In this school, it seemed there was no need to be too upright.
As expected.
Nagumo had come specifically to tip them off.
And since he had gone this far, Katsuragi looked at the information on the bulletin board.
Second-Year Class A, Nagumo Miyabi, 300,000 Private Points deducted.
Nagumo Miyabi was a member of the Student Council, the Vice President, and a senior. Although he was only a second-year student, he was familiar with the rules of this school, so it was abnormal for him to be called out and criticized so bluntly.
Since he was warning his juniors that they didn't have to be so upright, did that mean that even if he violated the rules, he could usually smooth things over?
But the fact remained that he was still penalized with a deduction of Private Points.
So.
"Senior Nagumo, could it be that the 300,000 Private Points you had deducted were actually..." Katsuragi recalled some of the things Nagumo said when he came to Class A to find Kamuro-san.
Those words seemed to have been intended to remind them. It also allowed them, having known the school's intelligence in advance, to be more certain that the information they received was correct.
"Heh. It seems you all have been doing some thinking."
"I personally think quite highly of you," Nagumo Miyabi said.
Since he had already spent the money, he naturally hoped to see results.
It was just a pity that, with the super cute Classmate Sakayanagi, it had been completely useless, as he was directly ignored by her.
So he could only turn to talk to Sakayanagi's puppy, Kamuro-san.
And ended up being given the cold shoulder again.
It should be said, as expected of the person who had given him the cold shoulder before; a month had passed, and she hadn't changed at all.
Just as he was feeling somewhat displeased, he discovered Katsuragi Kohei approaching, and looking at him now, Katsuragi-kun was quite a talent worth molding.
How nice.
He recognized his contribution and saw the experience he had provided them.
"Meaningless," Classmate Sakayanagi said with disdain. "The strength of the four classes is tiered downwards."
"And Class A already occupies the advantage, and now we have obtained additional intelligence."
"This kind of school life has become even more boring," Sakayanagi said.
"Sakayanagi." This time it wasn't Yahiko, but Katsuragi-kun who looked over.
That was exactly why he felt Sakayanagi was extremely dangerous.
Extremely radical.
Because.
Just look at her; who else would complain that their own class was too powerful and held too much of an advantage?
"It seems Katsuragi-kun has many grievances with me. In that case, I will leave the arrangements for this month's special exam and next month's special exam to you, Katsuragi-kun," Sakayanagi said. "I won't interfere any further."
At noon, Sakayanagi headed to First-Year Class B to inform Shirogane of the 20 million points news she had received from the Student Council President, and she also issued Shirogane the task of defeating Ayanokoji for a reward of 20 million points.
However, Shirogane-kun did not give her an immediate reply.
Not only that, according to information gathered by other students of the Sakayanagi Faction who were tailing him, Shirogane had headed to the student council office at that time.
Due to their fear of the Student Council President, the students tailing him did not continue forward, so they could not obtain information immediately.
However, it was clear that although Senior Nagumo, a member of the student council, was present at the scene, he was directly participating in Soccer Club activities. When he saw them approaching, he trotted over; although he talked quite a bit, it was clear he couldn't provide anything of value.
This made Sakayanagi somewhat irritable.
However, the news did not arrive too late.
Because.
The next morning, all students were notified to gather at the gymnasium while they were preparing to attend their homeroom classes.
The explanation was that a new list of student council members would be announced today.
ps: First update! Still a few thousand words short, the fourth update will likely be more than an hour late.
ps: Begging for monthly votes, shouting loudly.
Chapter 061: If I Become President, I Will Invite Classmate Sakayanagi to be My Vice President!
All students were notified to head to the gymnasium for an assembly.
For the freshmen, they had experienced the entrance ceremony just last month, so they were no strangers to it and headed to the gymnasium with ease.
However, there was still some pressure this time.
Because the last time they came here, it was only the first-year freshmen, but now the entire school was present.
At the same time, everyone understood why the taped lines in the front rows of the gymnasium were labeled with class names.
It was to account for various assemblies and the need to maintain order.
This month, two sets of first-year classes had swapped positions.
They were First-Year Class B and First-Year Class C, and the boy leading the First-Year Class B formation stood there with an arrogant look on his face.
Although he acted like he was the king of the world, the tall, dark-skinned boy standing behind him gave off a sense of oppression, so even though the surrounding students were curious, they didn't dare to get close.
"Damn Ryuen."
Of course, there were those who wanted to provoke Ryuen.
Those were the students in the D Class section, but even the students from Class D wouldn't go directly to confront Ryuen at a time like this.
As for the upperclassmen, they were also somewhat surprised.
Because in the past, they were rarely asked to gather at such times; did this mean there was some major event to be announced?
Was there some major event to be announced?
It was probably the appointment of new student council members. Thinking of this, a certain student in Second-Year Class B straightened his posture slightly.
Just like the previous entrance ceremony, this assembly was held in the name of the student council, so only student council members and the homeroom teachers of each class were present. The school's top leadership did not appear. This showed that the autonomous authority this school granted to its students had indeed reached a certain level.
"I'm a little nervous."
In the First-Year Class C area, the students were standing in orderly rows, separated by boys and girls.
A girl who looked timid said to Classmate Ichinose.
There was no Behavioral Standards Exam this month, and the Student Council President had not yet officially begun speaking, so for the students, it was still free time.
The person talking to Classmate Ichinose was a girl with pale green hair who seemed slightly introverted. She looked like a little bird that couldn't yet live independently from its parents.
This was Shiranami Chihiro.
She had an introverted and somewhat timid personality, which made people feel a strong desire to protect her, so the students in her class took good care of her.
Classmate Shiranami seemed to get along very well with Classmate Ichinose. She seemed more relaxed when she was with Classmate Ichinose.
To Ichinose, Classmate Shiranami looked small and fragile, reminding her of her own younger sister, so Ichinose didn't mind acting as a big sister to her.
Of course.
For Ichinose, no matter which friend encountered trouble or distress, she would help them.
After all, she was just that kind of good person.
"Today should be when the student council prepares to announce the information about the new student council members," Ichinose said.
"Congratulations, Classmate Ichinose." The girls around her began to chime in as well.
It was clear that Ichinose was very popular.
Last night, Classmate Ichinose had announced in the class group chat that she had joined the Student Council and secured the position of a Disciplinary Committee Member. Although it wasn't a high-ranking position, everyone was well aware of how serious and strict this school could be.
Regardless of what the position actually entailed, simply being able to enter the Student Council was an incredible feat in itself.
In particular, word had spread that Katsuragi-kun from Class A had also applied to the Student Council, only to be rejected outright.
For the students of Ichinose Class, who had held a grudge against Class A since last month, this was a cause for great celebration.
"Tch!"
A sound erupted from the line right next to the Ichinose Class.
It was Ryuen.
Even though he had now risen to the position of Class B, that atmosphere from the neighboring class still repelled him.
Generally speaking, since Ryuen was originally a student of Class C and had learned the true nature of the school last month, it would stand to reason that he would target Class B—the class above his own—if he wanted to climb the ranks. Yet, he hadn't done so.
For one thing, the previous month's evaluation had focused on behavioral standards; if any targeted actions were exposed, they might have been docked a massive amount of points.
In that case, all the painstaking effort put into consolidating his class would have become meaningless. It was even possible they would lose so many points that they would forfeit any chance of climbing higher.
While Ryuen enjoyed thrills, he didn't want that kind of thrill.
So, he chose to do nothing.
Besides.
He felt he didn't need to take action himself.
Class C had wanted to strike because the class above them was Class B, but there was someone else who felt wary of Class B.
That was the students of Class A.
Sure enough, at the end of last month, the Ichinose Class had suddenly become embroiled in a brawl with students from Class D, resulting in a massive deduction of points.
