People at the practical education center only want to drop out.

She felt that she finally understood Bai Lan's actions, and all the previous doubts had a reasonable explanation!

First, why did Bai Lan sell out such important information to other classes?

Sakayanagi's answer was: Bai Lan did this to fish in troubled waters and, incidentally, to find out about the situation in each class!

When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares into you.

At that time, while Sakayanagi was using the negotiation of trade information to test Bailan's abilities and thoughts, Bailan was also taking the opportunity to find out about Sakayanagi and even the entire class behind him!

Through this transaction, Sakayanagi learned that "Shiroran is capable but only cares about her own reasons and can be bribed."

During this transaction, Bai Lan learned from Ban Yanagi's ability to collect a million points from the class in a short period of time that Ban Yanagi's class had developed a certain level of organizational strength, and that Ban Yanagi was the representative of Ban Yanagi's class.

In addition, Bai Lan could also get a general idea of ​​the internal situation of the Banyan class by observing the efficiency with which the students submitted their points and by listening to the reactions between Bai Lan and Banyan.

Most importantly, everything that Sakayanagi gleaned from Shiroran was fake!

The information Bai Lan observed from their class was the most accurate!

In other words, during that intelligence transaction, Sakayanagi not only exposed a lot of information to Shirai, but was also misled by the false information given by Shirai!

The consequences of exposing the information to Bai Lan are still uncertain, but the result of being misled by false information is already known: Ban Yanagi paid more points than originally planned in order to "show sincerity," and these extra points were not given to the school, but to the strongest competitor!

If the one million points were simply given to the school, then Sakayanagi Class would have only lost one million points.

But what if those million points are given to a competitor?

I lost a million, while my opponent gained a million.

One increases and one decreases.

This means there's actually a two million gap between Bai Lan and Ban Liu!

Blood loss!

If Sakayanagi had known earlier that Shirai was a rival, she would have spent even more points to buy out this information from the school rather than spend points on Shirai!

Sakayanagi is a very competitive person; she likes to win.

However, she has had a heart condition since childhood and cannot engage in even slightly strenuous activities. Due to her physical limitations, Sakayanagi is naturally at a disadvantage in many events.

Fortunately, although she was in poor health, she possessed an excellent mind.

Unable to achieve anything in sports, she pinned all her hopes on her intellect.

She will win back what she lost because of her body with her mind!

To this end, Sakayanagi has been working hard to improve his knowledge and wisdom, arming his mind, and has been known as a "genius" since he was very young.

She is also proud of the title of "genius" and is determined to be intellectually on par with any of her peers!

After learning the "truth" about the matter, Sakayanagi felt that he had been tricked by Shirai, and tricked so thoroughly!

She felt that her intelligence had been insulted.

This made Sakayanagi, who had always been proud of his intelligence, feel a rare sense of frustration in the intellectual realm.

It's worth noting that the last time she felt so frustrated in the intellectual realm was a few years ago when she visited a place called the "White House," which was supposedly a breeding ground for "artificial geniuses."

Sakayanagi started learning chess at a young age. While visiting the "White House," he discovered that a student was also playing chess, so he had a match with him.

As a result, Sakayanagi narrowly lost.

But even that's not all.

If her opponent has been practicing chess for a longer time or about the same amount of time, even if she loses, it doesn't necessarily mean that she is less intelligent than her opponent.

It's just a matter of insufficient practice or bad luck.

But when Sakayanagi asked about the other person's study time, he told her that he had studied for a "full" week!

After only one week of learning, he was able to beat Sakayanagi, who had been practicing for nearly ten years!

This left Sakayanagi feeling extremely frustrated.

But she quickly rallied.

Because Sakayanagi discovered that although the students from the White House performed exceptionally well in terms of both physical and intellectual abilities, perfectly fitting Zhang Dazhong's concept of "genius," they actually had significant personality flaws.

Their "genius" is a product of abnormal development; their abilities are actually obtained by exchanging these personality defects.

Because of these personality flaws, Sakayanagi felt that these so-called "geniuses" could not be considered complete "people" at all!

Because the person who defeated her was not a "person", and her goal is "not to lose to any of her peers".

So, she didn't lose!

This made Sakayanagi breathe a slight sigh of relief.

On another note, Sakayanagi discovered that "Shirofusa," who had once beaten him in chess, was also at this school, and was also a first-year student, even in Class D!

However, that person was not Bai Lan.

Sakayanagi even suspected at first that Shirai also came from the "White House".

To this end, Sakayanagi specifically used his own channels to conduct an investigation.

Sakayanagi can guarantee that his channels are very reliable.

Because her connections came from the highest-ranking executive administrator of Advanced Nurturing High School—the chairman of the board!

Bai Lan guessed correctly.

Advanced Nurturing High School really is run by the Sakayanagi family!

The school's chairman of the board also has the surname Sakayanagi.

Chairman Sakayanagi is Arisu Sakayanagi's father!

Through a reliable channel provided by her father, the chairman of the board, and by spending a few points to use that channel, Sakayanagi gained the right to view Shirai's personal file.

After reviewing Bai Lan's file, I learned about her complicated transfers, leave of absences, and her experiences of traveling the world for "field research" and writing papers to earn credits.

Well, while Bai Lan was out having fun, he would also occasionally conduct research and write papers to help the school he was affiliated with gain honors. This was a major reason why Bai Lan hadn't been expelled despite his low attendance rate.

Bai Lan learned how to write papers from her parents.

Bai Lan's parents are experts in archaeology, zoology, botany, geography, and other fields. Their jobs involve exploring the world and conducting ecological and geological surveys based on the needs of their clients.

They often brought Bai Lan along when they worked, and he didn't have a chance to learn from her. But over time, through constant exposure, Bai Lan learned these things and also became "bad."

Ultimately, Sakayanagi confirmed one thing: Shirai was not a "man-made genius" like Shirai Fusei, but a naturally born "natural genius".

In fact, Bai Lan and "White House" are completely opposite!

Bai Lan, this "natural genius," is just too "natural"!

Bai Lan, this "natural genius," received even less education than the average person!

He has almost become one with "nature", and can be called a "wild genius"!

It's important to understand that the "White House" is a completely closed training institution, far more so than advanced high schools. Students there are sent in at a very young age and are not allowed to leave. They must strictly follow the instructions of the instructors. From childhood to adulthood, they spend their time in rigorous training and learning, with absolutely no freedom. They are constantly pushing their potential to its limits, ultimately enabling "ordinary people" to have the opportunity to reach the "realm of genius" through "effort."

Bai Lan, however, was different; she had not undergone any closed training.

He was even freer than those students who received "happy education"!

Throughout the year, he spends very little time at school.

"Bai Fangsheng" has almost never left the "White House" since childhood, while Bai Lan doesn't even spend many days in the "house" throughout the year.

In addition, after seeing Bai Lan's strange entrance score and interview record, Ban Yanagi roughly understood why Bai Lan was assigned to Class D.

If Bai Lan hadn't been there, after learning of Bai Fangsheng's existence, Ban Yanagi would probably have been unable to resist the urge to fight him again, trying to prove herself through the "artificial genius" of war.

But now, with Bai Lan, a "wild genius" who has received even less education than her, the "artificial geniuses" squeezed out through rigorous training all day long can only be relegated to the back.

Sakayanagi had wanted to declare war for a long time.

She couldn't wait to defeat Bai Lan intellectually and prove herself.

But she can't do that.

Because she had just suffered a defeat at Bai Lan's hands.

As a defeated opponent, his declaration of war cannot be called a "declaration of war," but rather a "challenge"!

The challenge is from below to above.

A declaration of war, on the other hand, requires a superior to a subordinate, or an equal partnership.

Sakayanagi didn't want to challenge Shirai in a show of force, because that would mean losing the momentum right from the start!

Therefore, she suppressed her inner impulse and planned to declare war only after she had at least won back a game and the score was tied 1-1, making the two sides more evenly matched.

And the chance to turn the tide is the midterm exam!

Sakayanagi put in a lot of effort for this midterm exam.

In order to turn the tide, she organized several study sessions, leading the students in her class who were just one step away from scoring 90 points, as well as those who were expected to get full marks, in a fierce sprint.

In addition, she also increased her daily study time.

Thanks to Sakayanagi's efforts, the Sakayanagi class managed to achieve a class score of 185 points in this midterm exam, solely based on their eyesight!

The minimum of 100 points for "passing the whole class" is deducted.

这85分的“成绩得分”是由6个满分（+3分）和67个90分（+1分）组成，几乎是一之濑班的47分的两倍，是原D班的21分的四倍，至于龙园班的0分.....不用理会。

In fact, of the nine perfect scores in the Sakayanagi class, Sakayanagi himself contributed three!

With this achievement, Sakayanagi felt that he had finally regained his equal footing with Shirai.

That's why Sakayanagi chose to say those words to Shirai today—

"Bai, I'm here to declare war on you!"

146. Sakayanagi's Heart

"Bai, I'm here to declare war on you!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Lan's face showed a somewhat surprised expression: "Declare war?"

"You heard me right, a declaration of war! We'll find a chance to compete during the next special exam!"

Sakayanagi confirmed this.

Then she added, "Are you surprised that I would declare war on you?"
