Sitting in the back row, Horikita Suzune still sat up straight, looking down at her book.

However, the knuckles of the fingers that were turning the pages were slightly white from excessive force.

She didn't care about the ridicule.

They care about... grades.

Cricket: 2 points.

As Black Ball said, she did nothing.

For someone as self-important as her, this was more painful than any insult.

"You shouldn't look at it that way!"

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly awkward, Kikyo Kushida walked to the front of the stage with her signature healing smile.

"Our class had already run out of points, but Horikita stepped forward and helped us earn back those precious 90 points."

"and......"

Yosuke Hirata also spoke up at the opportune moment; as the core member of the class, his words obviously carried more weight:

"I ran into some people from Class A this morning, and I heard that they only got 90 extra points this time."

"In other words, Horikita's grades are actually on par with Class A in the top tier."

"real or fake?!"

"Ranked alongside Class A?!"

"So, Horikita is actually incredibly skilled?"

Upon hearing this, the discontent among the crowd instantly reversed.

"Sorry, Horikita, I spoke a little too loudly just now."

"...Could I ask you for help with the next exam too?"

Faced with the crowd's initial arrogance followed by obsequiousness, Horikita Suzune put down her book, her expression not softening but becoming even more rigid.

As for Kikyo Kushida on the stage, she outwardly praised him with a beaming smile, but inwardly she was sneering.

'You're quite the actress, Horikita Suzune.'

"Someone died the day before yesterday, and even with everyone fighting tooth and nail, Su Wei barely managed to get three points. Does she really think she can get nine points all by herself?"

She's clearly a reclusive girl with no friends, yet she always acts superior... I really want to see her crying and begging for mercy when facing the evil parasitic beast.

As the group leader of the "Black Ball Mutual Aid Association," Kushida naturally knew the inside story of last night's black ball exam.

It can be said that the credit lies with the Soviet Union, or that the credit is due to Ichinose.

As for Horikita Suzune?

One by the roadside!

Just then.

The classroom door was pushed open.

Su Wei arrived just as the school bell was about to ring, carrying her shoulder bag.

Horikita Suzune's eyebrows twitched slightly.

Almost reflexively, I wanted to stand up and clarify.

No matter how proud she was, she would never take credit for someone else's work.

"actually......"

However, she had just opened her mouth.

Su Wei, who was passing by her, seemed to have anticipated her actions and waved his hand to stop her without making a sound.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he went straight back to his seat.

Horikita Suzune was stunned.

Looking at the back of that person slumped over the table, preparing to catch up on sleep, I frowned.

'Why?'

'Is this guy... giving me charity?'

'Or do you still find it too troublesome to explain?'

The feeling of having her self-esteem forcibly protected left her feeling like she had a fishbone stuck in her throat.

......

I finally made it to the end of get out of class.

As the teacher left, Su Wei was about to buy a bottle of Dr. Pepper to refresh himself when a slender figure blocked his way.

Horikita Suzune leaned on the desk with one hand, her sharp phoenix eyes looking down at him:

Why are you stopping me?
