10. How to Limit the Chairman's Power?
Sakayanagi Arisu watched expressionlessly as Aragaki Shun and the others left, a hint of gloom on her delicate face.
Even though the other party said nothing, that gaze, which regarded her as a nuisance, already said it all.
But as the chairman's daughter, even being so underestimated, she couldn't find a reason to refute him at this moment.
Being defeated in her strongest area, what could she say in front of the victor about how, even with her frail body, she wasn't relying on connections but was assigned to Class A based on her strength...
That would be completely self-humiliating!
She could only rely on facts to speak for themselves in the future!
...
Returning to the dormitory building, to Shibata Sō's room.
Aragaki Shun finished the fourth deluxe set meal he had packed and brought back, finally feeling a sense of fullness that permeated his entire body from within.
Satisfied, he stood up and stretched his limbs slightly.
"So, how did my dorm suddenly become the meeting room for boys to exchange information?"
Shibata Sō, sitting on the edge of his bed, saw that the core of Class B finally had some free time and couldn't help but voice his complaint.
"Your room is closest to the elevator, everyone just conveniently came in. If you're unwilling, we can go to my room next time."
Kanzaki Ryuuji, who was busy copying something beside him, replied seriously without even raising his head, making Shibata feel a bit embarrassed.
"I was just saying. Kanzaki, you really are..."
This boy, as optimistic and cheerful as Ichinose Honami, shook his head, then looked at Aragaki Shun who was tidying up the trash on the table.
"By the way, Aragaki, are you really okay eating so much at night? This one deluxe set meal is enough for my lunch, and you ate four."
"The physical exertion of concentrating on chess is very high. If it's hard to understand, just equate it to me playing soccer for an entire afternoon."
"Oh, then it seems there's no problem."
Aragaki Shun saw Shibata Sō being easily fobbed off and couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt in his heart.
The excuse he gave, while not false, was not the main reason he ate so much this time.
The primary cause was that he had added points to all four basic attributes at once.
His physical fitness in all aspects had suddenly strengthened significantly, and the chess match with Sakayanagi Arisu had indeed consumed a lot of energy.
The combination of these two factors was the reason for his greatly increased appetite tonight.
After tonight, his normal meal intake would still increase somewhat compared to before, but it wouldn't be as exaggerated as tonight for every meal.
But now, only his spirit attribute had reached 10.
If all four attributes reached or even surpassed "10," the limit for normal humans, in the future, how would he then absorb enough energy to maintain the functions of this body?
Become a big eater who spends several hours a day eating?
Or find a way to evolve a photosynthesis-like ability, similar to plants?
The thought of potentially turning into a large solar panel in the future brought all sorts of strange images to Aragaki Shun's mind, and he couldn't help but find it inexplicably amusing.
So, did this world have any omnipotent energy similar to Eastern spiritual qi or Western fantasy magical elements?
Was he really going to have to rely on flesh, fruits, and vegetables to support his body's movements?
Then, in the future, wouldn't he follow the path of gigantism like the dinosaurs?
Just as Aragaki Shun was muttering to himself, Kanzaki Ryuuji, who had been diligently organizing the notes in his hand and copying down certain content, looked up and handed him a few pages of completed materials.
"These are probably all the pieces of information in the notes related to the school's hidden rules. Most of them overlap with the intelligence we gathered from various clubs. The additional parts mainly concern the use of personal points, such as accumulating twenty million points to freely transfer classes or cancel a school expulsion penalty once."
This notebook was found by Kanzaki in the table tennis club.
At that time, his phone had been left in the table tennis club's changing room.
When he went to retrieve it, he found this worn-out notebook on the lid of a nearby trash can, unsure which senior had deliberately discarded it.
Adhering to the fine quality of diligence and thrift, Kanzaki, under the gesture of the table tennis club president outside the changing room, chose to put this notebook in his school uniform and take it home.
After returning to the dormitory and looking through it, he discovered that the notebook contained various scattered drafts from senior students, mostly useless.
Only a small portion of the content involved school rules and complaints about so-called exams.
Therefore, Kanzaki could only spend time painstakingly organizing the useful information page by page.
Aragaki Shun took the document, spent a few minutes carefully scanning it from beginning to end, and then casually passed it to Shibata Sō, who was already looking on with eager anticipation.
"Only Class A graduates can obtain the employment and further education guarantees provided by the school. So, this is how Advanced Nurturing High achieves its nearly one hundred percent advancement and employment rate?"
Aragaki Shun wasn't particularly surprised.
After all, since enrolling, he had seen many students' undesirable aspects, including those kicking trash cans on the street, clenching fists to intimidate other students, and some who looked like delinquents...
To let these rare specimens get into famous universities or enterprises through the school's recommendation, was it because Advanced Nurturing High's reputation was too good?
As for other things, such as new students being under a code of conduct examination for the first month of school, each class would be allocated one thousand class points, and multiplying this by 100 would be the personal points issued to everyone in the class on the first of each month.
And during this one-month period, school teachers would not warn students about their discipline, but every act by a student that did not conform to school regulations would result in a deduction of class points according to the severity.
Also, the school indeed assigned students of four levels, from excellent to flawed, to classes A, B, C, and D respectively.
If students didn't agree with this assignment rule, they could earn class points through special monthly exams, and class rankings would be reassigned based on class points from high to low.
Finally, it emphasized that personal points could buy anything.
To defeat other classes in exams, one had to find ways to unite the whole class and, as a class unit, try to collect abundant personal points as an exam weapon.
"The information given by the senior is quite comprehensive. I thought he would pretend not to know anything, or just give some superficial information. After all, the three hundred thousand points I used to buy the information were actually won from them."
Comparing it with the information gathered since enrollment, Aragaki Shun could confirm the authenticity of this document.
He couldn't help but gain more trust in this senior's character; perhaps they could cooperate long-term in the future if there was an opportunity.
"After all, he's a third-year Class A senior. The points accumulated over two years should be considerable. There's no need to be greedy for this small amount."
Kanzaki Ryuuji guessed so.
"Perhaps. I wonder if there will be inter-grade exams in the future. If there's a chance, befriending senior students might bring unexpected gains."
"Of course, this isn't the most important thing at this stage!"
At this point, Aragaki Shun's expression became much more solemn.
"What we need to do now is to think about how to limit the chairman's power."
