Class C, KTV box.
"It's all true." Long Yuan was not as happy as he had imagined, but instead frowned.
"Is the test paper really not a good thing?" Ishizaki asked, "Everyone can get good scores thanks to this. Our Class C should also be among the top in the rankings, right? Isn't this great?"
"You only saw the results, but didn't think about the key to this matter." Ryuen snorted, "We got the subjects of Class B, Class D, and some of Class A. There's no need to think too much about Class A. It must have been sent to us by Sakayanagi, and most likely sent to people in other classes as well. The purpose was to suppress the average scores of the subjects set by Katsuragi."
"Indeed, I agree." Kaneda pushed up his glasses. "I guess what Ryuen is concerned about is how the person who traded with Class C got the test papers of the two BD classes, right?"
"Kaneda is right. As far as I know, there should be no contact between Class B and Class D. I have people watching Hirata Kushida and others every day. They basically have no contact with Class B's Ichinose Himiya, unless they are advancing through their phones the entire time."
"So someone found a way to get the test papers of Class B and Class D?" Ishizaki was a little confused. "Is this really possible? Then why did they want to trade with us? Wouldn't it be better for Class B and Class D to unite privately to fight against Class C?"
"I want to know this question, too. But it's unlikely that this was done by Sakayanagi. Her goal is to suppress Katsuragi, so there's no need to find a way to get the test papers from other classes. That would be meaningless."
"So it must be someone from Class B or Class D? Are they really that powerful?"
"We can't find out the answer to this question right now. Go ask around in Class B and Class D to see if anyone can recognize our questions." Ryuen instructed. "You can always find out if you look carefully. Or you can pay a little to buy their review materials. Anyway, you have to find out for me whether it's Class B or Class D."
"Leave it to us, Ryuen-kun!" Ishizaki quickly expressed that he had no problem with this kind of thing.
The exams are over, so the study materials are naturally worthless and there is no need to hide them.
"We'll wait until the scores are released tomorrow to tell you the details. We can make a rough guess based on the scores." Ryuuen crossed his legs and leaned back on the sofa. "If nothing unexpected happens, our class C will take first place, and class B will probably take second place, class A third, and class D will come in last."
Class C got nearly half of the test papers of the three classes A, B and B, and it was not surprising that they won first place with the additional 4 points they bought. In addition, the difference in grades between Class A and Class B was not big, and it was normal that Class A's three subjects' questions were leaked and its scores were not as good as Class B's. As for Class D, those who understand will understand.
Long Yuan was still very confident about this. The only variable was whether the person he was trading with was from Class B. If so, the other party would most likely have a full set of Class D test papers. Although he didn't know how the other party got the Class D test papers, in that case, the first place would undoubtedly be Class B.
"I'm looking forward to tomorrow's score." Ryuuen grinned.

library.
Chihaya was invited to a certain place in the library.
Sakayanagi sat at one side of the table. On the table was a chess set with black and white pieces ready. Sakayanagi sat at the black side, while Chihaya was given the white side seat.
"Takaan Sakayanagi-san," Chihaya greeted softly as per custom.
"Gui'an Higong-san." Sakayanagi smiled and gestured for Chihaya to sit down. "We agreed to play chess before, but unfortunately there was no suitable opportunity. Today is the end of the exam. What do you think of Higong-san?"
"With great pleasure." Chihaya smiled and sat down opposite Sakayanagi, "Then I'll play white first."
"nature."
The rule of chess is that white moves first, and black moves second. As the inviter, Sakayanagi naturally gave the right to move first to Chihaya.
Watching chess is like watching people, playing chess is like observing yourself.
Playing chess can also help you analyze your opponent's character to a certain extent.
Although the opponent may be reserved when playing chess or even use a move that is contrary to his own personality, it is still worth referring to.
The two did not take this game too seriously and spent very little time thinking, so it basically became a fast game.
This was also a test by Sakayanagi. After all, the thinking time for fast chess was very short, and he might subconsciously move according to his own habits.
"I wonder how Feigong-san felt about the midterm exam?"
"Well, it went pretty smoothly. Although it may sound a bit self-boasting, I think I'm still the top student in the grade this time."
"It seems that Himiya-san is very confident." Sakayanagi said as she moved the chess piece. "I guess Class B's results are also good, right?"
"It may not be higher than Class A." Chihaya followed and moved the chess piece. "I heard that there seems to be some minor friction within Class A?"
"Excuse me, but it's just a common disagreement between Katsuragi-san and me. It's not worth mentioning."
"I see. It's normal for boys and girls to have different ways of thinking and have different opinions." Chihaya nodded. "Even between the closest people, there are sometimes disagreements."
"Oh? Is it the same for Himiya-san?"
"My good friend Xiao Ai and I often have disagreements about dinner, like when I want to eat seafood risotto but there's no seafood in the fridge."
"I didn't expect Himiya-san had such a cute side." Sakayanagi couldn't help laughing, probably because she imagined Chihaya pouting in dissatisfaction.
"If it's a compliment, I'll take it."
"Of course, the cuteness and beauty of Himiya-san are recognized by the whole grade."
"Will it be considered that I am not confident about my appearance if I mention the award at this time?" Chihaya suddenly said. This sentence made Sakayanagi stunned for a second, "Checkmate!"
"...I lost. You are worthy of being called Himiya-san." Sakayanagi quickly accepted this fact. Although she did not try her best, it was obvious that Chihaya did not try her best either. "Sure enough, I am still far behind when I try to do two things at once."
"I'm just trying to please you. If I really try my best, I probably won't be a match for Sakayanagi-san." Chihaya said with a smile, "I have learned various chess games, but I'm not proficient in any of them. I've only learned a little bit."
"Mr. Feigong is too modest. I would say you already have considerable strength, right?"
"I'm still a long way from that." Chihaya said modestly, "But it's still fun to have some fun once in a while."
"Then please give me some advice if you have the chance in the future."
After playing only this one game, Sakayanagi put away the chess pieces and did not play another game just because he lost. He looked calm and composed, as if he did not care about winning or losing at all.
And Sakayanagi just didn't show it. Anyone who loses a game of chess would feel a little unhappy, even though Sakayanagi's goal was not to win the game but to test him.
She decided to wait until she had nothing else to do and give it a good beating.
"I heard recently that classmate Feigong seems to be planning a magazine?"
"Well, actually, it was my friend Xiao Ai who suggested it. I just acted as a model for her and provided some advice." Chihaya explained, "It will mainly involve beauty and makeup, clothing matching, and some school affairs. I will also interview some classmates in each issue."
"It sounds like a magazine for girls." Sakayanagi commented, "With Himiya-san in charge, I'm sure the magazine will sell very well."
"Then I'll borrow Sakayanagi-san's good words."
The two chatted for a while, and finally Chihaya got up and said goodbye.
......
Walking out of the library, Chihaya saw Horikita Suzune holding a book in her arms, so she went up to her and said hello.
"Hello, Suzune-san."
"Good afternoon, Himiya-san." Horikita Suzune responded, "But the way you address me..."
The implication is "We don't seem to be familiar enough to call each other by our names."
"I'm sorry, I called you by your name to distinguish you from President Horikita. Did it bother you?"
"There's nothing we can do about it. I understand." Horikita Suzune nodded. It was indeed easy for people to misunderstand when a brother and sister were together. Compared to changing the way she addressed Horikita Manabu, it was easier to accept to change the way she addressed her sister.
Horikita Suzune herself also thinks so. After all, calling a girl by her name is a sign of a good relationship, but calling a boy by his name will most likely be considered as gossip and scandal.
"You can also call me 'Chihaya', Suzune-san."
"That's..." Horikita Suzune subconsciously wanted to refuse, but looking at Chihaya's expectant eyes on the opposite side, she recalled the test paper of Class B in her hand, and the fact that the other party in the library helped her stop Sudo.
Horikita Suzune swallowed back the words that were about to say no.
"Chihaya."
"Yes, Suzune." Chihaya smiled brightly, and now Horikita Suzune had no way to change her words.
Forget it, there aren't many opportunities to meet each other on weekdays anyway, so Horikita Suzune gave up struggling.
"By the way, if you need anything later, Suzune can come to me, okay?" Chihaya suddenly said, "Maybe I can help you turn the situation around."
Although Lingyin didn't understand the meaning, she still nodded in agreement.
"Of course, the so-called reversal of the situation is only limited to this midterm exam - but you are always welcome to come to me in the future, right? It's okay if it's not a serious matter."
"Then we'll see you at school, Suzune. I wish Class D good grades in advance."
88. Announcement of Results
Finally, it was time to announce the scores the next day.
The students in Class B were on high alert, waiting for the arrival of their homeroom teacher, Mr. Hoshinomiya.
Avoiding failing is only the most basic part. Class B’s goal is to maintain second place and strive for first place, and to increase more class points.
After all, the average score of Class A in the quiz was only 3 points higher than that of Class B, and the midterm exam will compare the total score instead of the average score. This is a huge advantage for a class like Class B that has Chihaya, the top student in the grade - there is a gap in each of the five subjects, so naturally I have the advantage in the total score.
Even so, before the results come out, no one can guarantee what will happen. After all, most students are actually unsure. After all, except for the 25% of questions for their class, the remaining 75% are questions they see for the first time. Most students are still a little nervous, after all, passing is just the most basic.
"I'm getting a little nervous." Because Mr. Hoshinomiya hadn't arrived yet, Hoba said to Chihaya.
"Don't be nervous, everyone's hard work will be rewarded." Chihaya comforted.
"Chihaya." Fanba suddenly called Chihaya's name softly.
"Ok?"
"Can you lend me your hand?"
"Sure." Chihaya didn't think much and extended her hand.
Fanba then held Chihaya's hand with her little hand, then took a deep breath, and finally smiled sweetly at Chihaya.
Chihaya smiled back.
"Hi~ Did you miss me, classmates?" At this time, Teacher Hoshinomiya also came late.
"Teacher, please announce the results quickly!"
"Yes, I have endured it all night and I can't stand it anymore!"
"I can't help it, so I go to withdraw."
"Okay, okay, be quiet!" Teacher Hoshinomiya knocked on the podium, "The test results will be announced before school is over - although I really want to say this, if I tell you after school, I won't be able to catch up with all the procedures."
"Oh, teacher, please don't keep us in suspense at a time like this!" Several people led by Shibata expressed their dissatisfaction to Mr. Hoshinomiya. After all, the gap between the class points of Class B and Class A was quite large, and Class C was eyeing them from behind, so the result of this exam was very important.
"Hahahaha, teacher, aren't you trying to ease the atmosphere?" Teacher Hoshinomiya laughed, then turned around and pasted a large piece of white paper with the students' names and scores on the blackboard.
There is no doubt that Chihaya Himimiya's name was written on the first place in all five subjects, with full marks in mathematics, English and chemistry, and 99 and 98 points in social studies and Chinese.
"I'm sure everyone can see that, so I won't keep you in suspense. The top student in this midterm exam is Fei Gong from Class B!"
"Teacher, what's behind? What's behind!" Shibata asked, "Hurry, hurry, hurry!"
"Shibata-san, I know you are anxious, but please don't be anxious. I will announce the class rankings next. So I will announce the ranking of Class B first--"
"First, first, first." The students in the audience prayed.
"Class B ranks second among the four classes." Mr. Hoshinomiya announced.
"Damn it, we lost to Class A again." Shibata beat his chest and stamped his feet, very disappointed.
"Second place is good too." Although Fan Bo was a little disappointed, she was also relieved. If she had been third or fourth, she would have been panicked.
"Congratulations everyone. The class points have increased by 75 points. Then the rankings of other classes will be announced: the first place is Class C—"
This result shocked the entire Class B.
"Teacher, didn't you say you don't joke?"
"That's right, teacher, you are the last in class C!"
"Yeah! Isn't Class A the first place?"
Class B started talking.
"Teacher, let me reiterate again, the first place in the total score of this midterm exam is Class C, the second place is Class B, then the third place is Class A, and the last place is Class D." Teacher Xing Zhigong fully stated the ranking order of the four classes, A, B, C, and D.
"It's unbelievable. What's going on with Class A and Class C? Class D is performing quite steadily."
"I don't know. The academic ability of Class C shouldn't be that high, right?"
It was naturally difficult for the unaware students in Class B to understand why Class C could take first place.
"Next are the results of the average scores for individual subjects: Class B has the highest average score in mathematics among the four classes, the highest score in chemistry is Class A, and the rest in English, social studies and Chinese are all Class C." said Teacher Xing Zhigong.
"Teacher, could you please tell us the specific total scores of each class?" Fan Bo raised his hand and asked.
"Of course." Teacher Hoshinomiya nodded, turned around and started writing on the blackboard.
After watching the video, Class B realized that the gap between them and Class C was quite obvious, and their lead over Class A was neither too much nor too little. Class A only had 0.5 points more than Class D, which was very dangerous.
As a result, Class C obtained 160 class points after passing the midterm exam, and Class B obtained 95 class points.
Although they beat Class A, Class C behind them caught up, which was not a perfect victory for Class B. But overall, it met Class B's expectations before the exam, and the only variable was the first place was different.
