People bring their own maids to the training camp

"This exam will only be used as a reference in the future and will not be reflected on your report card, so there is no risk even if you fail, okay? Don't worry about being caught by me for extra tutoring, and there will be no retake. But there is one thing to note—cheating is strictly prohibited!"

The exam then began.

The exam paper had four questions for each subject, totaling twenty questions, with each question worth five points, for a maximum score of one hundred. However, the questions were all extremely simple. For Chihaya, it was more than enough to easily get a perfect score.

As long as students have been paying attention in class this month, they can generally get a satisfactory grade. This is not very difficult for students in Class B.

The questions on the test were even two levels lower than the entrance exam; a good junior high student could probably get a good score. However, it wasn't entirely without difficulty; the last three or so questions were significantly more challenging. The last math problem was impossible to solve without using complex equations.

This is definitely not a question that a first-year high school student could answer. Its difficulty makes one wonder if a senior high school exam question was mistakenly printed on a first-year high school exam paper.

In other words, these are 100% beyond the curriculum, and most students, even if they listen attentively in class, would not be able to solve them.

However, it was not difficult for Chihaya and Hayasaka. But the latter was intentionally hiding her academic ability. If Hayasaka had hidden it, she would have ignored these questions. Chihaya, on the other hand, planned to answer them all to solidify her status as a top student and, incidentally, launch an attack on becoming a genius.

Anyway, she's a young lady from a wealthy family. Isn't it normal for a young lady to be excellent in both character and academics?

I got a perfect score in math!

Although she didn't know exactly what her deviation score was, Chihaya was confident that she would rank among the top students in the entire grade.

The class ended quickly, and all the papers were collected.

"The results will be out soon, everyone please look forward to it!" After saying that, Ms. Hoshinomiya left the classroom and announced the end of get out of class.

Honami immediately turned around, wanting to compare answers with Chihaya.

Hayasaka, Amakura, Kohashi, Shirahashi, and a few others also gathered around to listen to the top student's answers to determine if their own answers were correct.

As a result, Honami and Chihaya checked the answers and found that everyone had answered most of the questions correctly and could basically get good scores.

As for the last few math problems, they were met with fierce criticism from the girls. The reason was quite simple: the students who had been paying attention realized that these problems were not part of the content covered in class, and they were indignant about the appearance of such out-of-syllabus questions.

"Did Chihaya manage to solve the last question?" Honami asked, because she was sitting in front of Chihaya and didn't know if Chihaya had solved the question smoothly.

On the contrary, Chihaya, who was sitting behind Honami, knew clearly that Honami was still writing furiously until the very last moment.

Indeed, the final math problem required a considerable amount of calculation, and Fanbo might not have been unable to solve it; he simply didn't have enough time.

"Yes, it's quite tricky."

"Wow, as expected of Chihaya! I only had time to make one dish before I ran out of time," Honami said, quite frustrated. "But it was really difficult."

"I used to be interested in the Olympiad competitions, so I asked a teacher to teach me Olympiad math, so I have some experience with it."

"Chihaya is too modest! Your so-called 'some insights' isn't exactly a perfect score, is it?"

"I still have a little bit of confidence in mathematics," Chihaya said with a bright smile to Honami.

"Seriously, you're amazing! You're beautiful and academically gifted."

"Ichinose-san, is it possible that you yourself agree with this description?"

"Hahahaha, thank you for the compliment, Hayasaka-san. I feel much better now."

Soon the girls chattered away and changed the subject again. After all, there were relatively few questions, so even if they couldn't solve a few, they could still get a good score.

They felt even more relaxed when they heard that Ichinose hadn't solved all the problems either. After all, the teacher had said it wouldn't have any impact; it was just a small test, and there wouldn't even be a make-up exam.

After checking the answers, this quiz was less important than "What to eat tonight".

However, this exam also allowed Chihaya's idea to be further improved to some extent—the quiz focused on testing basic skills and also tested the limits.

Self-discipline, lifestyle habits, financial management skills, athletic ability, and academic performance – Chihaya believes this first phase of assessment is nearing its end, covering almost every aspect, and the points will be distributed on the 1st, just before the end of the month.

We'll soon find out what they're really up to.

51. The Truth About the Supremacy of Strength (Part 1)

April came to a successful end for Gao Yu, and May followed.

According to the regulations of the university, points will be credited to all students on the first of each month.

Chihaya, who woke up on May 1st, confirmed this immediately—and unsurprisingly discovered that the number of points transferred was not 100000, but 65000.

"Good morning, Miss. Breakfast is fried eggs and bacon, and a glass of milk."

"Good morning, Ai." Chihaya nodded. "How many points did you receive?"

"65000 points. As you predicted, the class group chat is in an uproar right now," Hayasaka said calmly, pouring milk into a glass. "Thanks to this, my phone has been receiving a lot of private messages."

"That's too naive. How could anyone get 100000 points for free every month?" Chihaya snorted. "But this school is quite different from what I expected. It's actually based on classes? I thought the points would be distributed based on individual evaluations, which would be a true meritocracy."

"Wouldn't that be a bit too difficult? And if it's linked to numerical values, it's easy for disputes to arise. It's more convenient to do it by class, and it can also test class cohesion, teamwork, and leadership skills—Miss, your idea is a bit too lone wolf-like."

"Because that's just who I am." Chihaya didn't care about Hayasaka's assessment. "Leadership isn't for me, and I don't plan to be one."

"You're clearly leading me, aren't you?"

“Love is different, isn’t it? As a maid, you and I are one.” Chihaya said, “We are less a leader and the one being led, and more a community of shared destiny based on ties, rather than a community of entangled interests.”

“I hope this will make it easier for you to order me around.” Hayasaka took off his apron and sat down opposite Chihaya. “Then here are the points the other classes got: Class A 94000, Class C 49000, and Class D 0 points.”

"What's in Class D?" Chihaya paused, then looked up at Hayasaka. "Midnight?"

"Yes, you heard me right, Class D starts at midnight—this is the information I got from Kikyo-chan this morning, there's no mistake."

"...This is a bit too outrageous." Chihaya shook her head and started preparing the breakfast in front of her. "So this school's class division system is that A is the best and D is the worst. No wonder it's called meritocracy. The better classes can get more points every month and live a more affluent life. It is indeed a manifestation of meritocracy."

"Sakayanagi from Class A is definitely worth paying attention to. They must have been disciplining the students from the very beginning, otherwise they wouldn't have reduced their numbers by less than one-tenth."

"Yes, I felt that Class B was pretty good overall, but I didn't expect them to lose a third of their score."

"It seems like they were a bit careless, since the deduction criteria weren't made public and we don't know the details."

"It doesn't matter, as long as we still have some points, it doesn't matter even if the classes are in competition." Chihaya said nonchalantly, if they want to compete, let them compete, anyway, he was hanging up, and the others could do whatever they wanted.

If Fanbo Xue C said that, he would shout "666" along with it, since he wasn't in Class D.

If he were in Class D, he would have to take action to ensure his basic points income.

He doesn't like mountain vegetable sets or bottled water. Although he doesn't have any "princess syndrome," Chihaya is a little picky about food, and he can't accept not drinking beverages.

I drink different kinds of beverages every few days: tea, coffee, and carbonated drinks.

Not to mention that in order to disguise himself as a woman without giving himself away, he needs to continuously purchase skincare products, cosmetics, and women's clothing.

These things are all points, which definitely wouldn't be enough in Class D.

However, it's different in Class B. Even if he AFKs and doesn't play, he can still get 65000 points, which is more than enough for him.

After breakfast, the two set off for class full of energy.

Along the way, many freshmen were talking about points. Class D was the funniest. Some of them didn't realize that their final score was 0 points and naively thought that something had gone wrong so that the points hadn't been credited.

However, it's not their fault. After all, it's 0 points. Even if there were 100 or 50 points, they wouldn't think that no points were credited.

It has to be said that it was quite a funny thing.

“Now Kikyo-chan can get what she wants,” Hayasaka said. “And you also reminded her to control her spending, right?”

"Yeah, with the 50000 points we gave her, she's definitely the richest person in Class D now. Maybe many people in Class C don't even have as many points as her."

“She can use these points to curry favor with others, she must be very happy,” Hayasaka said. “So, shouldn’t the young lady, as her backer, ask her for something?”

"...Are you about to suggest another terrible idea?"

“Miss, you are mistaken. A matter of mutual consent cannot be called a bad idea; please call it a perfect match.”

"Alright, alright, if you love me so much, then tell me what I should ask Kikyo to do?" Chihaya waved her hand dismissively. She didn't expect Hayasaka to say anything serious, especially since her mind was full of Edo-era movies when it came to Kushida.

"Kikyo-chan also has a lot of points, but if she lends her points to others everywhere, people will inevitably wonder why she has so many points, so it is very likely to cause unnecessary trouble. She values ​​her reputation very much, right?"

"So?" Chihaya raised an eyebrow, already guessing what Hayasaka was about to say.

"If she's an important person, we can definitely use her as a middleman to connect us! This would also help us build a good relationship with the girls in Class D, and it could also put Kikyo-chan at a disadvantage."

"That's all."

"If a pretty girl needs to borrow money, it's best to come directly to you."

"I knew it." Chihaya sighed. "You can't just keep choosing concubines for me because my surname is 'Feigong,' can you, Ai?"

"That's not what I meant. I hope you don't misunderstand," Hayasaka said seriously. "It's important to keep Kushida in check; he's got too many ulterior motives."

"Really? But it's impossible for someone from Class D to become my informant just because I lent her points, right?"

“You’re absolutely right, so we need to proceed gradually.”

So you have a goal now?

“Yes, there’s a very suitable candidate in Class D.” Hayasaka gave a mysterious smile. “Allow me to keep this a secret for now.”

52. The Truth (Part Two)

The two arrived at Class B's classroom, and sure enough, the students were discussing the point system.

After all, they were just high school students, not very sensitive to many things, and too lazy to investigate or think about them. On the contrary, they were all immersed in the joy of their first financial freedom, ignoring many obvious hints.

"Did Chihaya also receive 65000 points?" As soon as Chihaya arrived at her seat, Honami, who was in front of her, came over to ask.

“Yes.” Chihaya nodded. “I think the whole class should have 65000 points this month.”

"Sigh, although I had guessed there might be some changes, I didn't expect such a big difference." Fanbo sighed. "When we talked about class funds before, we should have collected more. I hope that no one in the class is living paycheck to paycheck."

"If it's Moonlight, then let that person eat the mountain vegetable set meal as the price for their lack of self-control," Hayasaka interjected. "It may be a bit unpalatable, but they definitely won't starve to death."

“The mountain vegetable set meal is actually quite healthy,” Chihaya said, “but the taste might be a bit lacking.”

"Wow, Chihaya, you're being too mild. You said it's just a little off in terms of taste, but it's not tasty at all!" Hayasaka said, pouting.

"Uh, you two have eaten here?" Fanbo asked curiously. She felt that their statements were not hearsay, but rather personal experiences.

“That time I forgot to buy groceries, and Ai suddenly wanted to eat a mountain vegetable set meal. She said it was healthy and she wouldn’t have to worry about gaining weight if she ate it for dinner.” Chihaya looked at Hayasaka with a “resentful” expression and said, “Then I understood why the mountain vegetable set meal would make me hungry.”

"Hahahaha." Hayasaka laughed awkwardly. "I guess I get hungry eating the mountain vegetable set meal because I'm a little picky about food, but I guess I get used to it after a while."

"Yes, after all, it's a school, so there's definitely no problem with having enough to eat. But it's not good to be too picky about the taste if you can't get a full stomach without spending money."

"I can't do that. If I'm picky about eating a mountain vegetable set meal and only drinking mineral water, I feel like my mouth has no taste at all." Hayasaka patted his chest with a lingering fear.

"Why does your plain water taste bland?" NetWarehouse chuckled as he leaned closer. "But it really is scary to think about. Luckily, we still have 65000 points, which isn't a small amount!"

"Netkura has such a good attitude." Chihaya was a little surprised; he had thought Netkura would complain a bit.
