Also advancing to the finals was Arisu Sakayanagi from Class A of the first year. The girl still wore a beret and a cane, and sat on a stool with a smile on her face.
Since the other contestant hadn't arrived yet, Chihaya sat down next to Sakayanagi.
"As expected, you have advanced as well." After Chihaya sat down, Sakayanagi smiled and took the initiative to talk.
"Are you confident in me, Sakayanagi-san?" Chihaya asked, "I don't think I have a face that can definitely pass the preliminary round, do I?"
"No, I'm just basing my reasoning on this. Are you interested in listening?"
"I'd like to hear more details." Chihaya nodded.
"Your last name should be 'Hiko', right?" Sakayanagi said, "I know a little bit about your family."
"It could be just a coincidence?" Chihaya replied calmly.
"Your temperament and manners are not something that ordinary people can cultivate. Besides, which high school did you go to?"
"That's true, but as for Shengying, anyone can go as long as they have money. The admission requirements are not as strict as before."
Chihaya's words could be considered as specious arguments, but the effect was also very obvious - the other party was unable to continue proving himself, thus bringing the conversation to a deadlock.
Although the Himiya family is very influential in the upper class, there would not be any high school students who would go and find out about all the family members. Chihaya took advantage of this loophole.
"Oh? But I heard that there is an old lady in the Himiya family who has Nordic ancestry, and her beautiful silver hair is very similar to that of Himiya-san." Sakayanagi said and looked at Chihaya with a smile.
"I didn't expect Sakayanagi-san knew so much." Chihaya chuckled, "Yes, I am the Himimiya family you mentioned."
"Hinomiya-san's silver hair is very beautiful, it's hard to mistake her." Sakayanagi replied, "Then let me formally introduce you, Arisu Sakayanagi from Class A, Grade 1."
"Takaan Sakayanagi-san, Chihaya Himimiya, Class 1B."
The two smiled at each other, and then Sakayanagi suggested exchanging contact information, and Chihaya agreed.
"I heard that Class B has chosen a class monitor?" Sakayanagi asked casually.
"Yes, the class monitor is Ichinose-san," Chihaya replied, "Didn't Class A have an election?"
"Because the homeroom teacher didn't mention it, we didn't choose one." Sakayanagi smiled, "It doesn't really have any impact. Has Himiya ever thought about being the class monitor?"
"No, after all, I am involved in two clubs and my energy is limited."
"That's understandable. I saw the sign of classmate Fei Gong when the club was recruiting new members a while ago."
"The manager said that this would help increase the number of members, so I agreed." Chihaya said, "Does Sakayanagi-san join any clubs?"
"No~ As you can see, I'm not very suitable for joining clubs. I occasionally go to the library to kill time."
"Then it's only natural that Sakayanagi-san can advance."
"You're too kind. I just prefer the quiet atmosphere of the library. Sometimes I play chess with myself. By the way, does Feigong know how to play chess?"
"I understand the rules, but my level is very average."
"If there's a chance, would you like to play the next game?" Sakayanagi made the invitation.
"Of course." Chihaya agreed happily, "As long as Sakayanagi-san doesn't mind my mediocre chess skills."
"How could that be? I'm so happy that Feigong-san is willing to play chess with me."
The two agreed to play chess together next time, and the third person who advanced finally showed up - it was Hiyori Shiina from Class C, the one who went to get the book during the preliminary round.
Also appearing with her are Horikita Manabu and Tachibana Akane.
"Now that all the contestants are here, we can begin." Horikita Manabu didn't say much and went straight to the point. "The rules are very simple. You can ask each other questions. You get one point for a correct answer and one point for a wrong answer. The questions can be true or false or multiple choice. They must be objective questions. Secretary Tachibana and I will review the questions."
"The order of questions is one round clockwise, one round counterclockwise. If the scores are tied, they will continue, and those with the lowest scores will be eliminated."
The rules are very simple, one circle clockwise and one circle counterclockwise, that is, each person will ask a question to the person next to him.
"You have five minutes to answer each question, and you have one minute to write it down on a piece of paper along with the answer."
After Horikita Manabu finished speaking, Tachibana Akane handed out two pieces of paper and a pen to the three people, and arranged for them to face away from each other to ensure that they would not see other people's questions.
"The five-minute countdown begins." Horikita Manabu's indifferent voice sounded.
The order of the first round is Sakayanagi → Chihaya → Shiina.
Five minutes passed in a flash. After the two members of the student union reviewed the questions, Akane Tachibana was responsible for reading the questions aloud.
"A question from Sakayanagi-san to Himiya-san: Pacamara coffee beans are produced in which country? A Panama B El Salvador C Indonesia D Brazil."
Although this was Chihaya's question, Shiina looked at Sakayanagi, the person who asked the question, with a look of surprise.
The beret girl raised her lips and revealed a very cute smile, as if to say to Chihaya, "Will you blame me for giving such an unpopular question?"
"I choose B Salvador."
"Correct answer, please listen to the question, Shiina-san."
The question Chihaya gave Shiina was: Which of the following characters is represented by the King of Hearts in playing cards?
A King David
BAlexander the Great
C Julius Caesar
DCharlemagne
"DCharlemagne."
"Correct. Please listen to the question, Sakayanagi-san."
Question: Which of the following books was not written by Raymond Chandler?
A《Goodbye, My Love》
B《The Long Confession》
C Maltese Black Eagle
D High Window
After Tachibana Akane finished reading the question, Sakayanagi did not answer it immediately, so the secretary began to count down in his mind, and read it out loud every time it reached ten.
50
40
......
"I choose D." Sakayanagi answered when the time was about to expire.
"Correct answer. Now let's switch the order and start the five-minute countdown."
The two opponents' ideas for coming up with questions seem to be based on their own hobbies. Sakayanagi probably likes drinking coffee very much, and Shiina probably likes the author named Raymond Chandler very much.
So, when setting questions ourselves, can we use this idea to mislead them about their own strengths and interests?
Chihaya pondered, and then completed the second question.
22. Final (Part )
The counterclockwise order of questions is Shiina → Chihaya → Sakayanagi.
The question that Shiina gave to Chihaya was: "Harmony, respect, purity and tranquility" are known as the "Four Rules of the Japanese Tea Ceremony". Who of the following proposed this statement?
A Rongxi
BNanpu Zhaoming
C Sen no Rikyu
I don’t know if it was because of lack of time or some other reason, but Shiina didn’t write all four options. Although there was no requirement to write all four options, everyone in the first round tacitly wrote four options.
“The answer is C.”
Chihaya answered very easily.
"correct answer."
Sakayanagi couldn't help but look at Shiina, not understanding why Chihaya was given such an easy question - as an outstanding young lady, it is impossible that Chihaya had not received training in the tea ceremony.
Could it be that this Shiina from Class C doesn't even know Himiya? Sakayanagi couldn't help but wonder as she looked at Shiina, so she decided to test Shiina in the next round.
The next question Chihaya asked Sakayanagi was: Which of the following Dior lipsticks is bright red?
A888
B720
C999
D100
After Tachibana Akane finished reading the question, Shiina next to her couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then immediately apologized to the referee Horikita Manabu, as if she didn't expect that such a question could pass the review.
Sakayanagi fell silent after hearing the question. Unlike the last round where Shiina seemed to have deliberately delayed answering until the very end, this time she seemed to really not know the answer.
Soon, Ju Qian began the countdown.
Sakayanagi smiled helplessly: "Choose B."
I don't know the answer anyway, so I might as well just pick one at random.
"Wrong answer. If Shiina-san answers correctly, Sakayanagi-san will be eliminated. If Shiina-san answers incorrectly, Himiya-san will win, and Sakayanagi-san and Shiina-san will have a tiebreaker."
The question Sakayanagi asked Shiina was about German slang, and the latter answered it incorrectly.
So Chihaya became the first, while Shiina and Sakayanagi had to play a tiebreaker.
First place already? Chihaya blinked. She still had many questions that she hadn't answered yet, such as "Which of the following islands has penguins living on it?" and "What is the current world ranking of the Japanese men's football team?" Unfortunately, she didn't have the chance to answer them.
"Congratulations, Chihaya Himimiya. The prize for the champion will be announced to you after the second and third place are decided." Horikita Manabu nodded at Chihaya.
"Ah, okay."
Since she had won, Chihaya was able to leave the examination room, leaving Sakayanagi and Shiina alone to perform the final solo.
First, Shiina asked Sakayanagi a question, which was a geography question involving the United States, and Sakayanagi answered it easily.
The next question Sakayanagi asked Shiina was a bit surprising.
"Um, who is the third place in the first-year forum's vote for 'the girl I want to date the most'?"
AIchinose Honami
B Hayasaka Ai
C Kushida Bellflower
D Princess Chihaya
"Eh? Is a question like this okay?" Shiina looked at Horikita Manabu.
"Gathering information is also part of examining your knowledge reserves," Horikita Manabu replied.
"This is too far-fetched..." Shiina muttered softly, "It's definitely not D, so I'll choose A."
"The answers are wrong. Shiina-san is third and Sakayanagi-san is second." Akane Tachibana announced the rankings.
"Ahhhh, Sakayanagi-san is so cunning, actually coming up with such a question!" Shiina looked at Sakayanagi.
"If we're talking about bad intentions, then isn't the person over there who used the lipstick color number as a question even more cunning?"
"In the end, I was the only one who was honestly asking questions..."
"I'm sorry, both of you. I just relied a little bit on my strengths." Chihaya was very frank.
"As expected of you, Shengying's elder sister. Isn't Feigong-san very good at makeup?"
"It's embarrassing."
The few of them chatted briefly, and Horikita Manabu pushed his glasses and knocked on the table in front of him.
This action immediately silenced the three of them.
"Congratulations, everyone. The first reward for this competition is the refund of the registration fee." Horikita Manabu said. Seeing that there was no reaction from the audience, he continued, "The remaining rewards will be announced via text message. If you have any objections, you can go to the Student Union to discuss it. With that, we are dismissed."
After saying that, the boy left without looking back, while the latter smiled encouragingly at the three of them and trotted a few steps to catch up with Horikita Manabu.
"It seems that we will have to wait for a while to find out the specific rewards." It was Sakayanagi who broke the silence, "Haha, this is really an interesting 'knowledge' competition."
"It's definitely different from what I thought," Chihaya replied. "It's very...unique."
"Do you two like to read mystery novels?"
