Knowing that the other party was stimulated by this rumor, Aragaki Shun, whose heart was once again filled with negative emotions, smiled and directly sent a rejection reply.

[Aragaki Shun]: "The rumor has been resolved. Just wait for the school's notification tomorrow."

[Aragaki Shun]: "I already have a girlfriend who's right here at my doorstep. Kushida, you're useless now. I don't want to go over there and listen to you get scolded."

After choosing to send, Aragaki Shun immediately muted his phone and threw it aside, picked up a book from the desk and started to supplement his knowledge for today.

Although he did think that Kushida's true private side was quite charming, to be frank, he really didn't want to listen to anyone scolding his hobbies, and he didn't want to become someone else's emotional trash can.

I had previously invited Kushida, indicating that I could go to him to vent my negative emotions. It was just a transaction, and both parties got what they needed from each other.

But now, as the reply said, Kushida Kikyo is no longer useful!

After all, the other party chose that location, obviously just to take advantage of him, and had no intention of taking the next step with him, right?

.........

On the rooftop of the teaching building, in front of the rooftop gate, Kushida Kikyo sat quietly on the top stairs, gently patting the dust off the hem of her skirt with her hands, with the same gentle and lovely smile on her face as usual.

The last experience of having her true identity exposed by Aragaki Shun taught her that this seemingly secret place was actually not safe at all.

Therefore, before Shun Aragaki arrived, she was not planning to kick the door wildly and vent her negative emotions like she did in the past.

Of course, she didn't want to come back here at all, let alone contact Aragaki Shun and invite him over.

After all, if you really send this kind of invitation to the other party, it is like hinting to the other party that the two of you can renew your old relationship here.

When she thought that Aragaki Shun would most likely have this kind of misunderstanding, Kushida Kikyo couldn't suppress the urge to curse.

But the person she wanted to scold was not Aragaki Shun, but Arisu Sakayanagi from Class B, who had made her accumulate negative emotions all day long.

How could there be such a disgusting person in this world, who, relying on her status as the daughter of the chairman of the board, dares to pry into students' personal privacy and directly spread rumors about her competitor's dark history in junior high school!

Could it be that this damn cripple also knows about what happened to her in junior high school?

The thought of this possibility made Kikyo Kushida shudder.

It has been two months since she started school. Before that, the only people Kushida knew about her dark history were Horikita Suzune and Aragaki Shun.

But Horikita Suzune is a loner who has no interest in socializing, and Kushida Kikyo is confident that she has more say in the class than she does.

If Aragaki Shun really wanted to deal with her, he wouldn't need to use this handle at all. With the other party's strength, it would be easy for him to suppress her.

Therefore, both of them can rest assured for the time being. As long as they keep a low profile, they should have no interest in exposing their dark history.

But now, there is another person who may know her past, Arisu Sakayanagi. This damn cripple likes to use public opinion attacks!

Kushida really wants to kill someone!

Chairman, you @#@%¥$#*&!!!

It’s no use. In just one day, the negative emotions accumulated in Kikyo Kushida’s heart are more than in a month.

If she didn't find a place to vent, she doubted that she would be able to maintain her angelic state when interacting with her friends tomorrow.

So after hesitating for a long time, she finally came to the rooftop of the teaching building and gritted her teeth to send an email to Aragaki Shun.

This was a relatively hidden area in the school that she had been searching for for a long time. If she hadn't come here, she didn't know where else would be safer.

She couldn't just kick the door and curse in the dormitory, right?

As for why he asked Aragaki Shun to come over, on the one hand, he really wanted to talk to him about Sakayanagi, but scolding Sakayanagi in an email would be regulated by the school.

On the other hand, it was just a safety measure - with Shun Aragaki by her side, even if someone else found out that she came here at night, she could say that they were here for a tryst.

At worst, I can accept that guy's advice, change my route, and become his girlfriend in public.

only--

[Aragaki Shun]: "I already have a girlfriend who's right here at my doorstep. Kushida, you're useless now. I don't want to go over there and listen to you get scolded."

Kushida Kikyo: ???

140. Final Result of the Rumor-mongering Incident: First-Year Voting

On the morning of June 2nd, the school decided to put an end to the rumors spread by Sakayanagi Arisu, and notified all teachers and students to gather at the first gymnasium.

“Red bean paste private Marseille!!!”

Under the unsurprising gaze of Aragaki Shun, the opening of this school-wide assembly, as per convention, began with the chairman of the board showcasing his country's spirit of craftsmanship.

I won't go into the subsequent nonsense, but to summarize, the chairman expressed deep regret through his eloquent speech. Then, Director Kanda took the stage and announced several resolutions made by the Advanced Development Council to the entire school.

Article 1: Starting from the next semester, the Board of Directors will suspend Sakayanagi Narimori's position as Chairman. All responsibilities he held will be gradually handed over to the acting chairman appointed by the Board of Directors. This decision will be implemented for the duration of Sakayanagi Arisu's studies at Advanced Training Academy.

[Article 2: From today until the next semester in September, for a period of three months after the chairman has completely handed over his responsibilities, Sakayanagi Arisu will be suspended from school and is not allowed to go to the teaching building without permission to interfere with other students' class competitions.]

Article 3: School personnel are prohibited from spreading rumors at will. Those who spread false information to attack others may appeal to the Student Union. Depending on the impact of the rumor, the source of the rumor may be expelled from the school.

[Article 4: Regarding the concerns raised by teachers and students regarding Arisu Sakayanagi's class assignment...]

【Article 5: ......】

..........

This time the whole school assembly lasted for almost two hours. By the time the school leaders announced the adjournment of the meeting and each class left the first gymnasium in order and returned to their respective classrooms, the bell for the third class in the morning had already rung for several minutes.

However, the situation today was special. The school had already announced that there would be no classes the entire morning, so everyone did not feel any sense of urgency and leisurely discussed the various news released by the school with their classmates.

Shun Aragaki took out a contract from the drawer. It was delivered to him by Kōhei Katsuragi in the morning. Because he had to gather at the gymnasium, he didn't look at it carefully.

In other words, there was no need to look too closely, because the above conditions were what he proposed yesterday, and he would not accept any bargaining at all.

Class B gives Aragaki Shun 400 personal points corresponding to his evaluation score every month in exchange for him issuing a letter of apology and giving up pursuing Hashimoto Masayoshi's responsibility in the rumor-mongering incident.

Obviously, faced with the dilemma of maintaining a class evaluation score of 300 or maintaining 40 personal points per month, Kōhei Katsuragi and everyone in Class B ultimately chose a class evaluation score of 300.

"In fact, the factors that can influence Class B's decision-making include Hashimoto Masayoshi's own strength and his connections in Class B."

Ryuji Kanzaki walked over and saw the contract in Aragaki Shun's hand. He couldn't help but express his opinion.

Last night, he was sent to Class B by Aragaki to play the villain and put pressure on Katsuragi and the others, threatening them that if they didn't make a decision soon, they would expel Hashimoto Masayoshi along with them once the school notified them.

Therefore, he specifically found a few students from Class A who were relatively indifferent to others, and brought them to the Class B classroom to have a heated argument with Katsuragi and the others.

During this process, Kanzaki Ryuji also learned that many students in Class B had different attitudes towards this contract.

"Hashimoto Masayoshi's strength is actually among the best in the entire B class. This is why he can become the main force of the Sakayanagi faction and is respected by Sakayanagi Arisu."

"Besides his strength, Hashimoto is also close friends with many of his classmates in Class B. If Katsuragi were to forcefully abandon him, the already less-than-united atmosphere in Class B would likely be further shattered."

"After all, it's a choice between a bad option and a worse one," Aragaki Shun smiled, "Katsuragi didn't have a choice in the first place."

If Class B gives up on Masayoshi Hashimoto, it will not only lose 300 class evaluation points, but will also become the first class in the entire first grade to have a student drop out.

Now that Arisu Sakayanagi has been suspended, and with the complete loss of Hashimoto Masayoshi, Class B suddenly has two fewer people who can be considered combat-capable in the special exam compared to other classes.

The impact of this incident is not only the visible weakening of strength, but more importantly, it is a blow to the class cohesion and the competitive morale of Class B.

These two intangible factors may be the most important components of class strength.

Therefore, no matter how unwilling Kōhei Katsuragi was, as long as he still wanted to lead Class B forward, he had no choice but to sign this contract.

By signing this contract, the personal points corresponding to 400 class evaluation scores, which is 160 million per month, will be transferred to Aragaki Shun... This is definitely a huge loss for Class B, enough to make it fall to the bottom.

But the problem is that even if they don't sign and allow Hashimoto Masayoshi to drop out, Class B can only keep 40, and the other 120 million will inevitably be lost.

At least by signing this contract, Class B's class evaluation score can still be maintained at 850 points. On the surface, it is not much different from the 1060 points of Class Aragaki. Perhaps it only takes one special exam to turn the situation around.

"This is the only hope left for the Katsuragi class."

A smile crossed Aragaki Shun's lips. "If we allow Hashimoto Masayoshi to be expelled, the gap in the evaluation scores between the two classes will widen to 510 points. By then, many people in Class B will completely lose the will to compete with us."

Individual points represent the class foundation, while class evaluation scores are the apparent ranking of strength. There is actually no definitive answer as to which of these two things is more important in class competition, and different people have different opinions.

But what is certain is that if you want to participate in the competition for Class A, you must ensure that at least one of the personal points and class evaluation scores is not too far behind.

If you lag behind in both aspects, any discerning person can see that you are basically hopeless.

"In Katsuragi's eyes, our accumulated personal points have always far surpassed theirs. They can't compete in this aspect. Therefore, between 300 class evaluation points and 40 personal points per month, he can only choose to maintain the class evaluation score."

"Only in this way can he convince the students in Class B that they still have a chance to overthrow us and regain Class A's position."

However, even this hope was deliberately left behind by Aragaki Shun.

Otherwise, how could those people in Katsuragi's class be willing to face the school's tests diligently and work hard to maintain their current class evaluation scores?

You know, most of the personal points corresponding to these scores have to be provided to him.

If Class B continues to play badly, Aragaki Shun's gains will be greatly reduced.

He stared at the invisible panel that only he could see, and the changes in the information on it made him happy.

[Completed achievement: Debunking rumors, Sakayanagi Arisu trapped in her own trap, Source Power +2.]

[Completed Achievement: New Contract, Possessing Most of the Wool Produced by Class B, Source Power +3.]

[Completed Achievement: Great Power, sufficient influence in all four first-grade classes, Source Power +3.]

[Source Power: 16 → 24 (Current efficiency: 4 per month)]

The impact of the changes in the school's senior management has not yet been settled, but the source power harvest at this stage is almost equivalent to two months of fixed income.

It's a pity that the time and place are not right now, otherwise he would definitely try to fix those two new skills that have not yet been condensed.

"Katsuragi seems to be planning to find an opportunity to terminate these contracts during the future special exams, though I think he's dreaming."

The expression on Kanzaki's face was as if he was telling a joke. Anyway, he didn't think that Katsuragi's gang had the ability to do so.

Will Aragaki spit out what he has eaten?

"Oh, by the way, it seems that Katsuragi and everyone in the class signed a responsibility transfer contract with Hashimoto Masayoshi."

"Everyone in Class B will shoulder the responsibility for this incident. However, Hashimoto can only keep 1 yen per month for living expenses, and any extra personal points must be turned in. Furthermore, if more than half of Class B deems him to be harming the class's interests again, he can be expelled."

At this point, Kanzaki Ryuji looked at Aragaki Shun with amusement, "They seem to have gotten inspiration from you. I heard Katsuragi mention the contract you signed with Hirata and Sudo Ken from Class D."

"This at least proves that their IQ isn't too low, right?"

Aragaki Shun put the contract back into the drawer, making a casual comment while sending a debt reminder text to Katsuragi, "Given Hashimoto Masayoshi's opportunistic personality, if Class B is really stupid enough to do nothing, then I definitely wouldn't mind taking in this ownerless dog on behalf of Sakayanagi."

"But it's okay now. After signing this contract, Hashimoto will most likely not have the chance to graduate from Advanced Training. It all depends on when the school suddenly has a whim and arranges a special exam for the first grade that requires sacrificing dropouts."

The main reason why Class B suffered heavy losses this time was due to Arisu Sakayanagi's strategic mistake. The little princess came to find trouble with Shun Aragaki with great enthusiasm, but was counterattacked and both she and Class B were half-crippled.

The culprit is Arisu Sakayanagi, but the actual executor is Hashimoto Masayoshi. The students in Class B must have a bad impression of these two people.

If there is an exit exam, these two people will definitely have the highest chance of being expelled.

"If nothing unexpected happens, Hashimoto Mirai will have no choice but to cling to Katsuragi's leg and compete with Totsuka Yahiko for the position of Katsuragi's most loyal lackey."

Hearing Aragaki Shun's teasing, Kanzaki couldn't help laughing.

But if you think about it, there’s nothing wrong with this.

Katsuragi, on the other hand, is relatively responsible and has a strong sense of responsibility towards the students in Class B.

As long as Hashimoto follows Katsuragi wholeheartedly and works hard to prove his strength and value, he still has a chance to save himself.

As for contacting other teams to work as a traitor, the way is basically cut off.

After all, he had signed the contract, and if he was found to have betrayed it, he would be expelled. Even if he used 20 million personal points to transfer to another class, it would be useless.

"To transfer through individual points, Hashimoto needs to collect at least 40 million."

A contract signed in the name of the entire class is more difficult to terminate, but a contract signed in the name of an individual can be torn up directly.

As long as you collect 20 million personal points and are able to withstand the penalty of expulsion, the constraints of this contract will be equivalent to non-existence.

Of course, this is only an operation in extreme cases. Anyone with a little bit of intelligence and who really has so many personal points would think of directly negotiating with the contract beneficiary to terminate the contract. In this way, only 10 million or even 5 million would be enough.

However, Hashimoto signed a contract with everyone in Class B. Considering the damage he caused to the class, it is definitely impossible to terminate this contract with just five or ten million.

Therefore, if outsiders want to recruit Hashimoto to work for them, they have to pay at least 40 million, first help him tear up the contract, and then help him transfer to another team.

But it is obvious that Hashimoto does not have this value, at least Aragaki Shun is too lazy to spend more time on him.

While analyzing the situation of the first years with Kanzaki Ryuji, Aragaki Shun's phone suddenly vibrated. He looked down and saw that the 160 million personal points transferred from Katsuragi had arrived.

Kanzaki looked at it curiously, deliberately making a tsk-tsk sound, and teased in a narrow tone:

"It's really pitiful. Class B only had 850 points this month. Yesterday you took away 200 points, and today you took away another 400. Now, the personal points each of them can spend each month have suddenly dropped to 25,000."

"That's okay! Class C and Class D have even less! Their quality of life in the future will still be the highest among the lower classes. At most, they won't be able to save much money."

Aragaki Shun operated his phone with a smile and directly transferred 60 yen to Kanzaki Ryuji. "Alright, whoever sees it gets a share. This is the money you paid for running errands to Class B last night to put pressure on Katsuragi. Take it and divide it among them."
