"Yeah, I'll contact you later, okay? I have to catch up quickly. Bye, both of you~"

----split line----

Just as Hayasaka was exchanging contact information with Horikita Suzune and Ayanokouji, Chihaya and Horikita Manabu got a brief moment to spend time together.

"I didn't expect that you first-year students have so many talents." Horikita Manabu suddenly said, "Both you and that Ayanokouji just now were beyond my expectations."

"I'm sorry for the compliment. As a member of the Himiko family, it's normal for me to practice martial arts." Chihaya replied, "Besides, I just used a little effort to achieve a great result. It's not worth mentioning."

"I watched the library's surveillance video. Your movements were neat and tidy. It's obvious that you have a lot of practical experience. You're not like some young ladies who are rigid and inflexible."

"So the president knows a lot of young ladies?"

"...Occasionally there are students like this in the dojo."

"It seems to be a matter of experience."

"Are you interested in joining the student union, Himiya?" Horikita Manabu suddenly invited.

"Doesn't the student union recruit freshmen? And I've joined two clubs? That doesn't meet the requirements at all, right?"

"In principle, you are not allowed to join the club, but sometimes the conditions can be relaxed. Vice President Nanyun was a member of the football club before."

"I see. I'm grateful for your kindness, but I personally have no intention of joining the student council."

"I can give you the position of vice president." Horikita Manabu stopped and said, "You should have hidden more than just your combat power, right?"

"I don't understand what the president is talking about. I'm not hiding anything. You should know that I'm the top student in the grade. Does that count as hiding anything?"

"Since you plan to play dumb, I won't ask any more questions." Horikita Manabu immediately ended the topic, "Send your companions over."

"Xiao Ai, can you tell the president about your request now?"

Just as he finished speaking, within a few seconds Hayasaka trotted over.

"Now - it's Hayasaka Ai time!"

"Okay, Xiao Ai, stop being like this, let's get down to business."

"Okay, the president should already know about the magazine we are planning, right? The student union will approve it for us."

"Yeah, so what do you need?"

"Because the people on the handsome and beautiful rankings are not all classmates, I hope to know their rankings and scores in the entrance exams and quizzes." Hayasaka counted on her fingers and began to call out a series of names like calling out the names of dishes. "I want the scores of the above people, is that okay, President?"

"Yes, but you need to buy it with points." said Horikita Manabu.

"Of course, I didn't expect it for free~" Hayasaka nodded, then handed the list to Horikita Manabu from the file bag she brought.

Horikita Manabu took the list and glanced at it, and sure enough, he found Ayanokouji's name on it.

If he hadn't accidentally discovered Ayanokouji's peculiarity tonight, he would definitely not have thought there was anything wrong with this list.

Looking at the list now, he couldn't help but wonder if the dumplings were made just for the sake of jealousy. But he had no reason to refute it. After all, the school stipulated that as long as you had the points, you could buy anything. He couldn't stop the students from taking the grades into consideration.

What's more, the reason given by Hayasaka is impeccable: she wants to compare the entrance examination scores and quiz scores to analyze whether the target person has undergone major changes after entering school - this will be linked to evaluations such as financial management ability and self-discipline.

The high-sounding reason is that the organizer is a woman, so opinions should be given from the perspective of women's concerns.

"I can sell you the entrance exam scores, 10000 points per person," said Horikita Manabu. "There are 10 names on the list, 100000 points. Come to the Student Union Office tomorrow to pay."

"Wow, this is too expensive! I can get a rough idea of ​​the quiz scores by asking, so President, are you going to charge 10000 points just for the entrance exam scores? This is too expensive!" Hayasaka immediately screamed.

"If you think it's too expensive, you don't have to buy it." Horikita Manabu said calmly, "This is just a school rule, not my personal profit-making business project, so don't talk to me about discounts or anything like that, I can't make the decision."

"How did the president know I was going to give a discount?!" Hayasaka was shocked.

"Xiao Ai Ni thinks it's too expensive, so the next step must be to try to bargain, right?" Chihaya reminded.

"Oh, that's right!" Hayasaka said as if he had suddenly realized something. "That's right!"

"...Want to pay?"

"Ten people are too expensive! Let me reduce the number a bit." Hayasaka said, "Then I'll just keep four people!"

Hayasaka eventually left behind a list of four people, including Hirata and Ayanokouji.

"Come to the student council tomorrow afternoon after school." Horikita Manabu said, "Do you have anything else to do?"

"Yes?" Hayasaka came over with a smile and showed Horikita Manabu her phone interface. "Recently, many people have received anonymous emails about midterm exam papers, so we hope that the student union can investigate this matter."

"I understand. The student council will investigate this matter later." Horikita Manabu adjusted his glasses. "But are you sure you want the student council to get involved in this matter?"

"Of course! This is totally a scam! When I went to the cafeteria to eat lunch at noon, I met two or three seniors who asked me if I wanted to do the old exam questions, and they guaranteed that they would be the same as this year's exam questions - how is this possible! The school will definitely not be so stupid, right, President?"

"I understand." Horikita Manabu remained noncommittal and did not directly answer Hayasaka's question about the midterm exam.

"Well, then I'll leave it to you, President. It's really not a good feeling to be pushed around every day."

"That's about it. Thank you, President." Chihaya bowed slightly, "Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to listen to our story."

"It's okay. This is the job of the student council." Horikita Manabu nodded. "But Himiya, my invitation still counts. As long as you agree to join the student council, the position of vice president will be yours."

"Please allow me to solemnly decline." Chihaya said, "I have no intention of joining the student council, and I have no intention of working with Vice President Nanyun, so I cannot accept the president's invitation."

"Well, that's it." Horikita Manabu didn't force her. It would be inconsistent with his understanding of Chihaya if she agreed so easily.

Although he couldn't say he knew Chihaya very well, from the few things he knew so far, the abilities Chihaya had demonstrated were top-notch among the freshmen.

Although many things about today's meeting were explained and requested by Hayasaka, anyone who is not a fool can guess that Chihaya and Hayasaka are undoubtedly a deeply bound community of interests - Hayasaka's behavior represents Chihaya's behavior.

In other words, it was Chihaya's doing to obtain other students' information in the name of founding a magazine and report the sale of old exam questions by seniors. This kind of strategy to break the deadlock is indeed rare. Originally, the four classes of the first grade could have gone through the midterm exam hand in hand, but Chihaya's report was clearly intended to ruin the situation: Don't think about breaking the deadlock by using old exam questions, just take the exam with your own strength!

According to the situation of the first-grade quizzes, if the old test questions lose their effect, the probability of dropping out of school due to failure will greatly increase.

Was this a plot designed to target Class D? Or was it designed to target Ayanokouji? Horikita Manabu thought that the appearance of Chihaya and the other two was a coincidence.

The only problem is that this is a bit like hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting yourself by eight hundred. After all, not everyone in Class B has safe grades.

Horikita Manabu doesn't quite understand Chihaya's thinking, but that doesn't stop him from giving her a high evaluation.

After all, in terms of the current response method, Chihaya is the most distinctive.

----split line----

Chihaya and Hayasaka quickly returned to the room, and after closing the door, they finally spoke.

"Now the ancient questions are completely useless." Hayasaka helped Chihaya take off her coat and then went to pour tea. "It's a pity for our previous layout."

"There's nothing to regret. Class A, Class C, and even the second-year students have already started investigating the past exam questions." Chihaya said, "We have damaged the interests of some second-year students, so he has started investigating secretly. Now is a very appropriate time to stop."

"That's true, but Senior from Guilongyuan might be a little troublesome."

"She was a bad person in the second grade. She can't do anything to cause trouble. She can't win even if she fights. She doesn't have the ability to move up in her class. She is just like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water."

"But President Horikita is already doubting us, right? Is this really okay?"

"Horikitika Manabu actually cares about her sister very much, so she pretends to have a bad relationship with her sister." Chihaya waved her hand and said, "Even if he suspects, what can he do? He doesn't know our real purpose."

"understood."

78. Is it a good thing to have more contact with Ichinose?

"Miss, I have a question and I hope you can help me solve it." Hayasaka suddenly said.

"Ask me, is there anything I can hide from you?"

"Did you decide to change the plan because of Vice President Nanyun?" Hayasaka asked straight to the point. "The exam questions he provided must be reliable, so Ichinose would have to owe him a favor. At this stage, with Ichinose's respect for Nanyun and this favor, it's hard to say what will happen."

"Well, I have to admit that I did consider this aspect." Chihaya nodded frankly and agreed, "As a friend, I think I shouldn't watch her jump into the fire pit."

"Even if it's the other party's own wish?"

"Yes." Chihaya nodded, "So I didn't persuade her, but moved the fire pit away."

"You'll make me misunderstand."

"What kind of misunderstanding could there be?" Chihaya picked up the teacup nonchalantly.

"It will make me think you have a crush on Ichinose."

Chihaya almost spit out the tea in his mouth when he heard this. Fortunately, he had undergone rigorous training, otherwise he would not be able to maintain elegance.

"What are you talking about?!" Chihaya put down her teacup and looked at Hayasaka unkindly, "Didn't I already say that we are just friends? And I am a woman now, right?"

"Although I'm glad that you're becoming more self-aware, what you're doing now is just like the affectionate male protagonist in a romance novel who silently helps the heroine clear obstacles, right?"

"...It's definitely not the case anyway."

"Just because it's not the case now doesn't mean it won't be the case in the future, Miss Chihaya." Hayasaka picked up the teapot and filled Chihaya's cup with tea. "But I can totally understand that you've never had any serious contact with girls, so it's normal for you to have feelings for a sunny, energetic and positive girl like Ichinose. Most people have positive comments about Ichinose."

"I already said I'm not..."

"Miss, you haven't had any contact with normal people so it's a good thing to have more contact with Ichinose, right?"

"...Are you saying that you yourself are not a normal person?"

"Do you think I'm normal?" Hayasaka asked back, "The girls in this school should be more normal than me, whether they are maids or in other aspects."

“Is this considered abnormal?”

"Of course, a normal person wouldn't serve as an all-purpose maid to accompany a master who is dressed as a woman to sneak into school and play the game of best friends, so young lady, it's hard to call you and me normal."

"Loving you is already a sophistry, right?"

"Please don't worry about these details. In the final analysis, I still hope that you can increase your efforts. I think Ichinose is a very suitable girlfriend. With your charm, she should be able to win you over easily even if you are a woman in her perception."

"One moment you're jealous and the next you're a matchmaker. Is it too much time to love you?"

"A little bit." Unexpectedly, Hayasaka nodded. "Besides, I already bought the carpet but I have nowhere to use it!"

"..."

"From now on, please protect Ichinose as your private property. I don't mind sacrificing a few unknown students for this."

"That's a bit too much, although I haven't considered whether other people will drop out of school because of this."

"Strictly speaking, the probability of failing the two classes will increase to a certain extent after the old test papers become invalid, but that has nothing to do with us. We don't know whether the school will directly take out the spare test papers or something else."

"It's not important. Class B didn't send out the test papers that Honoki got from Nanyun in the first place." Chihaya said, "The best plan is to review steadily. Even if everyone passes the test by chance this time, will there be the same test papers in the future? It would be better to sacrifice the students with insufficient academic ability now to find out what impact the dropouts will have on the class."

"It's a pity that there is a high probability that there will be no dropouts in Class B." Hayasaka shook her head regretfully, "If there is a dropout in Class B, you can go and comfort Ichinose and take this opportunity to win her heart."

"Okay, stop trying to match them up. The problem now is still Ayanokouji." Chihaya put down her teacup. "It's certain that he came to Gaoyu to hide his strength, but the question is - what exactly is he here for?"

Ayanokouji Atsuomi used to be from the Naoes faction, but the Naoes faction no longer exists. He also cannot be from the Onigashima faction, after all, that facility overlaps with the Gaoyu, and it is a pro max version.

"If Ayanokouji Kiyotaka is the son of Ayanokouji Atsuomi, then what is the point of coming to this school?"

"Proving that he is better than Kouyuki by being promoted to Class A? That doesn't make sense at all. Kouyuki could also say that Kiyotaka Ayanokouji became more outstanding because of Kouyuki's training."

“So it’s not feasible to negate the high-education model based on individual ability.”

"Could it be that they want to test the best masterpiece they have set up?" Hayasaka proposed another possibility.

"Then why did he hide his strength?" Chihaya was puzzled. "Pretending to be weak on the surface, he couldn't even get 70 points. Does this count as proving his strength? If he wants to prove his strength, shouldn't he stand in the open and face attacks from all sides? If he only wants to stab you in the back, then Mr. Ayanokouji's facility is nothing special in my opinion."

"Indeed, taking care of high school and skipping a grade to enter university, and then actively engaging in related activities, making a name for yourself in front of the public and then entering politics is the most reasonable way." Hayasaka said, "If Ayanokouji Atsuomi wants to return to politics, it is obviously more efficient to do this. No matter how good you are in high school for three years, it is not as efficient as the plan I just mentioned."

"Now Onijima is at the top of the political arena. It would be very difficult for someone who is not the direct successor of Naoes to reach that position." Chihaya pondered, "Ai Ai, is there a possibility that this Ayanokouji Kiyotaka had a conflict with his father? So he joined Gaoyu under the command of his father's political enemy."

"...Isn't this too dramatic?"

"Honomi once saw Chabashira-sensei call Ayanokouji to the counseling room."

"That Chabashira teacher?" Hayasaka was also a little surprised. After all, Chabashira teacher gave people the impression that he was just giving up.

"I think Chabashira-sensei might know something about this." Chihaya speculated, "In that case, let's go get in touch with her."

79. New exam rules (two in one)

The next day, Class D.

Sudo and the others gathered together, whispering something to each other. However, based on a few key words, we could probably guess that they were discussing something related to points.

Horikita Suzune remained indifferent to this, and it was Ayanokouji who took the initiative to talk to her.

"Sudo and the others seem to be trying to collect points to buy the ancient test papers. It seems they have made up their minds not to participate in the study session." Ayanokouji said.

"Isn't this expected?" Horikita Suzune was not surprised. "But the fact that they bought the old test questions makes me think they are even more stupid."

"And you swore last night that you would not let anyone from Class D drop out?"

"Ayanokouji-san, you said you would help last night, right?" Horikita Suzune stared at Ayanokouji with a bad look on her face, "Don't think you can get away with it just by pointing out my shortcomings last night!"
