People in real teaching bring their own maid

"In short, the midterm exam results are announced here. Anyone who has questions about the results or finds that they are wrong has the whole day today to review them." Teacher Xingzhimiya continued, "If there are no mistakes, the class points will be updated tomorrow, and no further review will be accepted at that time. Do you understand?"

"understood."

"Very good." Teacher Xing Zhigong nodded with satisfaction, "Then the personal points of the top three students in each subject will be deposited into your accounts on time at 0: tomorrow."

"That's a great harvest, Himiya-san." Shibata joked, "Congratulations."

"Thank you, Shibata-san, but I won't treat you to a meal to celebrate, okay?" Chihaya accepted it calmly and made a little joke.

"Oh, I've been found out. I guess I have to buy it myself." Shibata scratched his head.

"Okay, the next period of time is up to you. Check your papers to see if there are any mistakes in the marking. If you have any questions, please come to the office to see the teacher." After saying this, Teacher Xing Zhigong left the classroom.

The students in Class B also began distributing the test papers and checking them as instructed.

However, the gap between Class B and Class C cannot be made up even if each student gets one more point, so the nominal inspection is actually just chatting.

Honami also turned around and started talking to Chihaya.

"It increased by 95 points, which can be regarded as meeting our previous expectations." Fanbo said, "Chihaya has been really hard-working during this period, setting questions, participating in study sessions, and taking care of the club."

"Nothing, I've had a very fulfilling time during this period. It feels good to work hard with everyone, right?"

"Then I'll leave the study sessions for the final exam to Chihaya, okay?"

"Haha, that's natural."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"Let's go to Keyaki Shopping Center to eat tonight. We can finally relax a little. How about we also improve the food?" Fanba suggested, "Call Hayasaka-san and Amigura-san and the others."

"Okay, but Fanbo, you are not thinking about the 25000 points I just got, right?" Chihaya said with a smile.

"How could that be? Didn't I also earn 5000 points? Both of us will be remembered!" Fanbo's 5000 points were obtained from the combination of three subjects. As the second in the class, her results were also quite impressive.

"That makes sense. Otherwise, let's just go by ourselves. It's very safe."

"That's a good suggestion. Chihaya should treat me to milk tea then." Fanbo said.

"Honoki, you said you didn't want my points! Now it's exposed, right? And drinking milk tea will make you fat, right?"

"No, neither milk nor tea will make you fat, and neither will they. They are very healthy!"

"It's bad. I failed the test."

"Not at all!"

......

Different from the cheerful laughter of Class B, Class D was a little lifeless.

Although all students avoided failing, the difference of only 0.5 points from Class A was very difficult for the students in Class D to accept - if the difference was 5 or 10 points it would be fine, but it had to be just 0.5 points.

So after Chabashira-sensei left, the entire D class frantically checked their test papers, hoping to find a mistake so that they could overtake the others.

Even Sudo Yamauchi and others came to ask Suzune to help them check the test papers.

Suddenly, a group of people gathered around Lingyin, Hirata, Yukimura, and Wang Meiyu, waiting for the top students to check their test papers.

Everyone was full of hope, but the action of the top students reaching out to take a test paper silently told everyone the outcome.

"..."

Time passed minute by minute, but there was still no good news from the other side.

Suzune was silent. She saw the efforts of everyone in Class D, even Sudo and Yamauchi. They all "changed their ways" and tried their best. The fact that no one dropped out this time was the best proof. You know, Sudo only scored a dozen points on the test, and Yamauchi only scored a few dozen points.

"No, there's nothing wrong with the papers of the whole class." Hirata slammed his fist on the table.

0.5 points, just 0.5 points, seemingly insignificant, but it became a huge gap between Class A and Class D.

25 points and 50 points may not seem like much, but Class D, which has realized the situation late, now desperately needs points, especially since the gap of 0.5 does not seem to be irreversible.

The whole class fell into silence. After all, everyone's test papers had been checked, and they had no way to check Class A's test paper.

"If we ask Class A..."

"I'm sure Class A is checking their own papers right now, right? To prevent us from coming to question them, they might even let us check." Hirata sighed, "But we have to give it a try. I'll go negotiate with Class A. If they don't want us to see the papers, there's nothing we can do."

"I'll go with you. If allowed, the examination will be faster." Yukimura adjusted his glasses and stood up.

"Thank you, Yukimura-kun."

Since Suzune didn't say anything, Hirata didn't take the initiative to invite her and immediately went to Class A.

"What a pity, only 0.5 points away." Ayanokouji said.

Lingyin glanced at him and spoke only after making sure that no one was paying attention to her.

"If you had scored one more point, the result wouldn't be this."

"Don't force me, this is my level."

"You obviously have..." Suzune wanted to say that Ayanokouji had the answer, but she stopped herself halfway through her words.

Meanwhile Suzune remembered what Chihaya said to her in the previous chapter.

"If you need anything later, Suzune, you can come to me, okay? Maybe I can help you turn the situation around."

Recalling this sentence, Lingyin decided to take a gamble. She held the phone, stood up resolutely and walked out of the classroom.

Ayanokouji just stared at Suzune's back, tapping the table rhythmically with his fingers, as if he was thinking about something.

......

After leaving the classroom, Suzune took out her cell phone and sent an email to Chihaya.

However, within a few seconds, Chihaya called.

"Gui'an's ringtone." Chihaya's pleasant voice came from the phone.

"Hello Chihaya."

"Since you sent me an email, that means Lingyin needs me now, right?"

"...Chihaya, you said you could help me turn the situation around, right?"

"Of course, only for the midterm exam. I'll help you."

"The total score of Class D is 0.5 points lower than that of Class A. Can you turn the situation around even in this situation?"

"If the difference is too big, I definitely won't be able to do it, but if it's only 0.5 points, then it's just right, right?"

"So, what's the price?" Suzune asked. Although Chihaya said that she could seek help, as the saying goes, there is no free lunch in the world, free things are the most expensive, so she is sure that she needs to pay something in exchange for Chihaya's help.

"Well, how about Suzune owing me a favor?" Chihaya seemed to be thinking in annoyance, "How about this matter not involving class competition? Of course, I won't ask you to do something that is impossible to accomplish!"

"......" Lingyin was silent for a few seconds, his brain working rapidly to weigh the pros and cons, "I accept it."

"Okay, so now Suzune, why don't you head to the student council room? We'll meet there," Chihaya said, "A friendly reminder, the president will be there too, so you can be prepared."

"Got it. I'll be there soon."

Lingyin hung up the phone and prepared to move towards the student union room.

This is her only chance.

Now Suzune regretted a little bit. If she had traded with Class B as Ayanokouji had suggested before, Class D would have surpassed Class A even if it was only one subject. Although she didn't know what happened to Class A, the gap between Class D and Class B would not be shortened by exchanging test papers.

Soon, Suzune arrived at the student council room.

The girl took a deep breath, then reached out and knocked on the door.

"Come in." The cold voice of my brother sounded.

"Excuse me." Lingyin pushed the door open.

There were only Horikita Manabu and Chihaya in the office.

There was even a teacup in front of Chihaya, as if she had arrived a long time ago.

8⑨Transaction

There were only Horikita Manabu and Chihaya in the office.

There was even a teacup in front of Chihaya, as if she had arrived a long time ago.

"Suzune is here, why don't you sit here?" Chihaya smiled at Suzune who came in and gestured to the seat next to her.

"Please sit down." Horikita Manabu nodded to his sister.

"Yes." So Suzune sat down next to Chihaya.

"Since Suzune is here, let me confirm it again." Horikita Manabu looked at Chihaya, "If there is no objection, I will print the certificate now."

"Of course." Chihaya smiled back, "Even if Class A offers 2000 million personal points, I won't regret it."

"Okay, then Lingyin, you must have no objection either, right?"

“I don’t really know what I’m going to do yet…”

After hearing what his sister said, Horikita Manabu immediately turned his head and looked at Chihaya, as if silently questioning him why he didn't explain it clearly.

"It's actually very simple. Class D's total score is one point lower than Class A's, and I have one point. I decided to sell it to my friend, Horikita Suzune from Class D. Please allow me to keep the price confidential. The Student Union only needs to issue a certificate to prove that my one point is a valid score." Chihaya explained, "At this point, Suzune shouldn't regret it, right? 25 class points may not seem like much, but there are not as many ways to get class points as there are personal points, right?"

"......" Lingyin hesitated for a few seconds, then immediately nodded and agreed, "I agree."

After hearing his sister's answer, Horikita Manabu immediately took action.

"Please accept the student council's certificate," said Horikita Manabu. "There are three copies, one for each of you, and one for the student council to keep."

"Excuse me, President." Chihiro stepped forward, took the two certificates and handed one to Suzune. "If you are in a hurry, Suzune, you can go to Class A now. Your classmates should be verifying Class A's papers. Of course, if you need a little bit of 'show effect', you can wait until the school's point change notification tomorrow."

"I see." Lingyin nodded, "I want to ask, will this certificate be kept confidential or can anyone see it?"

"If someone asks me about this, I will hide the identities of both parties involved in the transaction and only tell them the fact that the midterm exam scores were changed," Horikita Manabu said. "The score transaction will be kept secret, and I will tell the other party that the scores on the papers cannot be traded for any reason."

"Test scores cannot be traded for any reason?" Suzune looked at Chihaya in confusion, hoping to hear an explanation from her.

"That's right. Unless there's a mistake in judging the score, it won't change." Chihaya smiled and raised an index finger to her lips. "As for the score given to you - A secret makes a woman woman."

"......I understand." The extra points must of course be kept confidential, which Lingyin can understand. After all, she is now also a beneficiary.

"Well, congratulations to Class D for getting third place," Chihaya said, "What a shame, Class A must be mad right now."

"Thank you Chihaya."

"Nothing, then you two can chat for a while. I'll take my leave first. Hello, both of you."

After Chihaya left, Horikita Manabu glanced at his sister and spoke slowly: "It seems that you are not inflexible, Suzune, but I want to remind you that Himiya is a complicated person. You can cooperate with her, but you must use your own judgment."

"Yeah, I know, brother..." Suzune was still a little embarrassed facing her brother, even though Horikita Manabu's words actually revealed concern.

"Keep working hard. Class D is not completely useless. This midterm exam is enough to prove that Class A is not invincible." Horikita Manabu encouraged his sister again.

"I will, brother!"

----split line----

The mid-term exam is over, and the changes in the class scores of each class are as follows

Class A: 940+25 (fourth) + 20 (one first in average score) = 985

Class B: 650+75 (second place) + 20 (one place with the highest average score) = 745

Class C: 490+100 (first place) + 60 (three average scores first place) = 650

Class D: 0+50 (third) = 50

The biggest beneficiary is naturally Class C, which has narrowed the gap between itself and Class B and widened the distance with Class D.

Although Class B was being chased by Class C, it narrowed the gap with Class A.

Class D did not end up at the bottom, narrowly defeating Class A and escaping the dilemma of getting nothing.

In short, Class A became the biggest loser. Although it still ranked first, it was exhausted. You know, in May, the students in Class A wanted to raise their chins to the sky. This midterm exam ranked fourth to some extent, which can suppress Class A's arrogance.

In Chihaya's room, after having dinner with Honami, Chihaya returns and learns from Hayasaka that she has received an email from Class C.

"Ryuen said that he will take action against the idiots in Class D in the near future. In addition, he is very satisfied with this deal and hopes to have the opportunity to continue cooperation in the future."

"I got 160 class points all at once, which means individual points per month for the whole class. And Sifen only sold him individual points. He is not only satisfied, but he made a lot of money. If it were me, I would be happy to continue the cooperation."

"That's true. Who would refuse such cooperation?"

"If Ryuuen knew the truth, he might not do it even if I gave him 100,000 points. Sometimes cruelty is cruel and there is no regret medicine in the world." Chihaya said, "If I anger Ayanokouji, he will definitely take action later."
