Su Wei was about to get up and offer his seat.

"No need for that." Kiryuin Kaede waved her hand casually. "You can sit inside, I'll sit in the seat outside for you."

Su Wei readily agreed and moved one body length to the inside.

As soon as she sat down, she noticed the test questions spread out on Su Wei's desk.

"Hey... junior, how could you get such a simple basic algebra problem wrong?"

She leaned back in her chair, her long legs crossed: "How about I do you a favor and sell you a copy of last year's midterm exam paper? So you can stop suffering here scratching your head in frustration. The price is negotiable~"

Su Wei paused, before he could even speak.

Horikita Suzune had already retorted coldly:

“Even a senior student shouldn’t humiliate someone who is working hard towards their goal. Besides, this is a test I prepared for him; no one else needs to interfere.”

Seeing Horikita's serious expression, Kiryuin Fuuka shook her head with amusement:

"Junior girls, you freshmen probably don't know this yet, do you?"

"The elimination score for the midterm exam isn't a fixed number. It's calculated by dividing the class average by two. At this rate of last-minute cramming, I'm afraid you'd be faster buying the answers from me."

She paused, then, as if remembering something, deliberately drawled out her words: "Oh, right. You're in Class D, right? If we consider the average level of the worst classes in the whole school... the cutoff score should be pitifully low. Maybe you can even pass by guessing, and you might actually have enough time?"

"I'm sorry, senior. I was originally in Class A, so my standards for people might be a little bit higher."

The sarcasm in those words was practically overflowing.

Horikita Suzune frowned, but her focus wasn't on Kiryuin's teasing; instead, she was quickly digesting the so-called exam rules.

Su Wei remained remarkably calm in response.

He twirled the ballpoint pen in his hand and chuckled, "Then I won't trouble you with that, senior."

Upon hearing this, Kiryuin Kaede turned and glanced at Su Wei.

Upon noticing his calm and composed demeanor, devoid of any apparent anxiety, she instantly realized what had happened.

'This kid... is he playing dumb here, playing the fool with his girlfriend in some kind of 'scumbag and tsundere female teacher' game?'

Having realized this, Kiryuin Fuka couldn't help but feel quite disappointed.

"Tsk, I was originally looking forward to seeing how the school would treat you 'fixed individuals' locked onto by the black sphere, and whether you would actually be thrown into the exam hall to die if you failed the exam... Now it seems that there won't be any good show to watch. How boring."

Horikita Suzune looked up. Although she still disliked Kiryuin's attitude, she was somewhat puzzled by the information in her words.

At this moment, Hiyori Shiina, who had been quietly listening, suddenly whispered her opinion:

"If the elimination line is really the class average score divided by two... then all we need to do is have those students who are capable of getting high scores deliberately conserve their energy during the exam to lower the overall class average score."

"Given everyone's current motivation to learn in the face of death, and knowing the rules in advance, as long as the average score is low enough, it's unlikely that anyone will actually be eliminated, right?"

Hiyori Shiina's voice wasn't loud, but her logic was very clear:

"after all......"

"Given the current threat of the Black Ball, aside from the resurrection rewards for the top three, ordinary class rankings and individual exam results are practically meaningless, aren't they?"

This statement came out.

Horikita Suzune's eyes lit up, as if the clouds had parted to reveal the sun, and she thought, "I should change to a larger cup!"

"That's true."

Kiryuin Kaede stroked her chin and smiled:

"You're quick-witted, junior. Theoretically, that's correct."

Su Wei paused slightly with his pen, then suddenly spoke softly:

"Senior, you look so relaxed, you don't look like someone who's here for tutoring or studying."

"You came all this way to find Shiina-san, surely it wasn't just to discuss the story with her? What information are you looking for?"

Having her purpose exposed by Su Wei, Kiryuin Kaede didn't mince words. She casually flipped through a couple of pages of the book "The Magic Cube Building" and readily admitted:

"there's no way."

"What can I do? I don't have many connections in my lower grades. The only people I know are you guys who went through thick and thin with me at the mall last time."

Shiina Hiyori, clutching her books, shrank her shoulders somewhat sheepishly.

"But... I wasn't selected for the preliminary test this time, nor did I participate in last night's black ball main tournament. Senior, if you're looking for the latest exam information, you've probably come to the wrong person..."

"It's not entirely a case of choosing the wrong person."

Kiryuin Fuka chuckled softly, her gaze passing over Shiina before landing meaningfully on Suwei and Horikita Suzune: "You see, sometimes fate is just that wondrous. The person I've been looking for has come to me on their own."

Su Wei sighed, somewhat helplessly:

"I've always been curious, since Ichinose is so easy to talk to and is the class representative of Class B, why don't you just go directly to her for information? If you ask the two of us, you'll probably have to pay a consultation fee."

He paused, then suddenly remembered something: "By the way, why hasn't that secretary next to the student council president added me on Line yet? Could it be that she's trying to embezzle funds?"

Kiryuin Kaede shook her head and explained one by one:

"Everyone knows that Ichinose is getting very close to that guy, Nagumo Masaru. Although I don't care about these factional struggles, I don't want to have anything to do with someone like Nagumo Masaru. I find him disgusting."
