"I did read two books in my spare time." Sakayanagi answered, "But I only answered your question correctly because I knew about the movie."

"Is that so..." Shiina seemed a little disappointed, and then cast his expectant gaze towards Chihaya.

“I have read works like And Then There Were None and Murder on the Orient Express.”

"Can you please exchange contact information with me?"

"of course can."

23. Rewards

"Oh, Masumi-san, you haven't been waiting for me here, have you?" Sakayanagi asked in surprise.

"Huh? I just think it's cool here." Kamuro Masumi looked impatient, but his body was honest as he stepped forward to support Sakayanagi, "Why is it over so soon? You're not going to be the first one to be eliminated, are you?"

"Masumi-san is too lacking in confidence in me."

"That's right, then you must be the first..."

“I’m the second one.”

Sakayanagi interrupted Kamuro before she could finish her words, with a smiling face, not seeming to care much about whether she won or lost.

"Huh? If you're not number one, then who is?" Kamuro asked in surprise, "It can't be that Chihaya Himimiya who has no other special features except her good looks, right?"

"Masumi-san is quite smart. He guessed the champion right away."

"No way? It's really that concubine..." Kamuro couldn't help but click his tongue, "Is she really that smart?"

"Does Masumi-san have any stereotypes about Himiya-san?"

"That's not true."

"By the way, Masumi-san, do you know which Dior lipstick is a true red?"

"Huh? How could I possibly know that? You should ask someone dressed like a hottie." Kamuro replied immediately, "Why are you asking that? You can't possibly want to put on makeup, right?"

"No~ Himiya-san is a very interesting person." Sakayanagi said.

"What about Shiina from Class C?" Because Kamuro had been waiting for Sakayanagi, he also saw Shiina entering the examination room.

"Shiina-san is a person who is immersed in his own world. You don't need to care about him." Sakayanagi said nonchalantly, "Next, I hope Masumi-san can do me a small favor."

"...Are they being followed again?" Kamuro immediately became alert when he heard the help. "Katsuragi was there a while ago..."

"There's no need to continue with Katsuragi-san. Instead, can I ask you to take care of Himiya-san's current situation?"

"Do I have the right to say no?"

"It's settled then?" Sakayanagi said with a smile.

Kamuro curled his lips and said nothing more.

----split line----

"Sure enough, this is no problem for you."

After returning to the room, Hayasaka briefly inquired about the process.

"It's actually quite dangerous." Chihaya poured herself a glass of water, "Although it's a 'knowledge' competition, the student council seems to be quite, uh... indulgent about the range of topics?"

"Your lipstick question would not be passed in any serious knowledge contest."

"It should be because of this that Sakayanagi used the forum questions to test Shiina." Chihaya pondered, "This Sakayanagi in Class A is not an ordinary person."

"Miss, if there is nothing wrong with my memory, I seem to have heard the last name Sakayanagi somewhere."

"It's probably some business dealings with my family. If it's important, I shouldn't have forgotten it."

While the two were chatting, Chihaya's phone rang.

"It's a text message from the school." Chihaya said to Hayasaka, "The champion's reward is 15000 points, and one point bonus?"

"Score bonus?" Hayasaka repeated. "Is it a privilege that can give you extra points on the exam? Does it say how many points you can get?"

"5 points."

"It's not too much, but it's not too little either."

Chihaya said nothing, stood up and picked up her school uniform jacket.

"Are you going out?"

"Go to the student council," Chihaya replied, "I think it would be safer to hear what they have to say about the specifics."

"Let me confirm that you don't intend to hide your strength and deliberately not get a high score, right?"

"That's too stupid, isn't it?" Chihaya answered without thinking, "If you really want to hide your ability, you should do well in the exam. Don't be the first, but 4th to 10th place is enough."

"It seems that you are very experienced, Miss."

"Think about it, if you always rank 20th or 30th in the class to hide your grades, and then suddenly rank first when the grades are needed, even a fool would know there's something wrong."

"..." Hayasaka remained silent at the right time. She could see that Chihaya was very eager to express herself now.

"So the real way to hide your strength is to hide your core competitiveness. If you only have test scores, it's meaningless. Even if your grades are good, if you're not good at interpersonal communication, you'll still be called a nerd."

"Just give less opinions on decision-making matters or only give opinions that are in line with the rules. After all, a person's overall quality is more important. If you only have good academic performance, you will have a lot of trouble in the future."

Are you an HR from somewhere? Are you making a recruitment announcement? Hayasaka muttered to herself, but did not interrupt Chihaya.

"Phew, that's it. I'll go to the student council and you continue with Kushida."

"Understood. I will take action at the appropriate time."

"Yes, love."

"I'm here."

"Since you said you have an impression of the last name Sakayanagi, let's investigate it."

"Please leave it to me."

24. Student Union

Chihaya separated from Hayasaka and headed to the student council.

After walking a few steps, Chihaya realized something was wrong - it seemed like someone was following her.

The other party's tracking technology is very poor, but if you only consider it from the perspective of high school students, it is understandable. After all, high school students basically don't specialize in this area.

Chihaya thought for a moment, took out her cell phone and pretended to reply to the message, while her steps also slowed down a lot.

Since the stalker is following him in a way that is along the way, as long as he starts to slow down, the other party will definitely need to make changes as well.

This also tests the stalker's ability to respond.

Faced with this sudden change, the tracker subconsciously slowed down his steps, but immediately made adjustments and passed Chihaya at a normal pace.

During the few seconds when she passed by Chihaya, she lowered her head and typed something on her phone, but she observed the stalker's appearance with her peripheral vision. And because of her long hair, the stalker didn't notice her movements.

She had long purple hair tied into a side ponytail. Chihaya silently memorized the other person's features.

Then he put away his phone and continued to go to the student union room. After all, he was open and aboveboard, so there was nothing wrong with letting others know that he had been to the student union.

It doesn't matter if others know that I got a five-point reward.

Originally he didn't plan to do anything, but since someone came to him on their own initiative, he naturally had to entertain them well.

......

Not long after, Chihaya arrived at the student council room and knocked on the door.

"Please come in." The cold voice was obviously Horikita Manabu.

"Excuse me." Chihaya pushed the door open.

There were three people in the room at this time, Horikita Manabu, Tachibana Akane, and a blond boy.

"Hello everyone, I'm here to consult you about text messages." Although she didn't know them, Chihaya greeted them anyway.

She had been a little curious before. In such a big school, there couldn't be only two people in the Student Union, the president and the secretary, right?

It was just a small event with not many participants, but the president had to come out in person to host it. It was as if the words "no one in the student union" were written on his face.

Moreover, only Horikita Manabu and Tachibana Akane showed up at the club briefing. It's impossible that the student union is divided into clerical and field staff, right?

"This must be the legendary classmate Feigong, right? Please take a seat!"

Before Horikita Manabu could say anything, the blond boy next to him started to greet Chihaya first, looking very "enthusiastic".

"Himiya-san, you probably don't know me yet? I'm the vice president of the student council, Nanyun Miya, and I'm in Class A, Year 2."

"Greetings, Senior Nanyun. I am Chihaya Himiya in Class 1B."

"Hahaha, I know. You're in Ichinose's class, right? Not only among the first years, you're also very popular among us second years, right?"

"Nanyun, she's here to inquire about related matters, not to chat." Finally, Horikita Manabu spoke up and interrupted Nanyun's attempts to get closer.

"I'm sorry, President. It's a rare opportunity to see the beauty that's been rumored so much that I'm a little excited." Nan Yun laughed and sat back down.

"Okay, if you have any questions, you can ask them directly, and I will respond accordingly."

Respond according to the situation? Is there anything else that cannot be said? Chihaya muttered to herself and then began to ask questions.

"I would like to ask, are there any conditions for using this 5-point reward? Can it be used for any subject in any exam? Can it only be used for a single subject or can it be allocated to multiple subjects? Can it be used before or after the exam?"

"Since this is your first time enrolling, you can use these five points freely," Horikita Manabu replied, "but there is a time limit. You must use them this semester. You can use them at any time. You can evenly distribute them to five subjects or add them to a single subject."

"So how do I use it? Should I tell the homeroom teacher or you, the president?"

"Any faculty member can do it, including any member of the student council, but faculty members are limited to this grade." Horikita Manabu explained, "You can talk to Mr. Mayu, the homeroom teacher of your first-year A class, or you can talk to Mr. Hoshinomiya, the homeroom teacher of your first-year B class."

"Can the points only be added to me or can they be added to others as well?"

"Bonus points can only be given to you, not to others."

"I understand. Thank you for your answer, President." Chihaya bowed slightly, "...May I know the rewards for the second and third place?"

"The second place will receive 10000 points, and the third place will receive 5000 points."

"Don't they have any point bonuses?"

"No."

"Okay, thank you, President. I'll take my leave then." After asking what she wanted to ask, Chihaya stood up, bowed slightly to a few people, and then left the student council room.

After Chihaya left, Vice President Nagumo stroked his chin.

"He looks like an excellent talent. Doesn't the president plan to recruit him into our student union?"

"Chihaya Himiya is a member of two clubs and does not meet the requirements for joining the student union." Horikita Manabu replied indifferently.

"Don't say that, President. Didn't I join the soccer club before?"

"The concubine has not demonstrated the ability to meet the requirements of the Student Union."

"Okay, you have the final say, President." Nan Yun said and stood up. "Since there is nothing else, I will not disturb you two. I will take my leave first, junior brother."

"Nanyun!" Ju Qian became angry and embarrassed.

Nagumo laughed and left the student council room.

"......President, will Nanyun do it?" Tachibana Akane looked at Horikita Manabu.

"It's still early. Wait until the first month is over." Horikita Manabu replied, "It won't be long."

"That's right, it's still a little early."

Horikita Manabu didn't say anything else, but just raised his hand and rubbed his temple.

----split line----

"Two nights later, same time, same place."

When Chihaya went to the student council, Hayasaka also started her own action and sent a text message to Kushida again.

In order to increase credibility, Hayasaka said that if Kushida did not show up as promised this time, she would use this anonymous email address to send text messages to other members of Class D.

Kushida didn't dare to gamble because it was too important to her.

For someone like Kikyo Kushida, face is the most important thing to her, so she will definitely choose to go on the date.

As an "old friend", Chihaya really understands her psychology.
