People in real teaching bring their own maid

"So, this is how it should be—"

At the Four Seasons Cafe, Suzune patiently teaches Hasebe and Sakura math problems.

On the other side, Chihaya was checking Miyake's Chinese recitation, while Ayanokouji was reading a book himself.

The BGM in the store is still classical music, and the music currently being played is Chopin's "Fantasy Impromptu".

Although it is not the kind of soothing music, the store has adjusted the sound appropriately because more students are reviewing. What attracted Chihaya to the Shiki coffee shop was that they used classical music as background music, so they occasionally played other styles of music. After Chihaya entered the store, the staff also very considerately switched to classical music.

"Okay, Akito, you've memorized it pretty well, just be careful not to make any mistakes." Chihaya returned the book to Miyake, "Can everyone take a break? I brought some freshly baked cookies, right?"

"Great!" Hasebe was the first to cheer, "We can take a break now!"

"Haruka, aren't you exaggerating a bit?"

"No way! Math is difficult, okay!" Facing Miyake's question, Hasebe pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "If you can choose one subject not to take, everyone will definitely choose math, right!"

Although Sakura didn't say anything, she nodded repeatedly. Just by looking at her expression, one could tell that she must be the type who was tortured by mathematics.

"But that may not be the case for the boss and Horikita-san, right?"

"For me, it would be best if I could avoid taking the exam." Chihaya chuckled.

"Wow, is this something a top student in the grade should say?" Hasebe couldn't help but click his tongue, "It's so scary."

"No one likes exams, right, Haruka? If there were no exams, we would be having a pleasant afternoon tea time, and we can chat about your favorite gossip, okay?"

"Well......"

"Okay, everyone, have some cookies first to replenish your sugar intake." Chihaya took out two boxes from the bag beside her. "These are the cookie boxes I bought at the supermarket before. Because they are iron boxes, I washed them and left them here. I hope you don't mind."

"Thank you." Lingyin thanked very politely, and took a cookie only after everyone in the concubines' palace group had taken one.

"Thank you." Then Ayanokouji also picked up a piece and put it into his mouth, "Delicious!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Ayanokouji-san." Chihaya smiled. "Unfortunately, there is no oven in the room so I can't cook it anytime. I can only borrow the oven from the cooking club."

"So, Boss, you joined the cooking club for other reasons!"

"That's right." Chihaya admitted frankly without hiding anything, "This is a mutually beneficial thing. The chief is also very happy."

"It's really delicious," Suzune commented, "I can tell you make it often, Chihaya."

"It's okay. Sometimes I think about how to make desserts."

"Horikita-san, do you like sweets too?" Hasebe was not shy at all and spoke directly to Suzune.

There were only a few opportunities in class, and she was too lazy to take the initiative, but since they were together this time, she would definitely have a chat - Hasebe was essentially a chatterbox and loved chatting with people.

"I don't have a particular favorite, but the taste is pretty balanced." Lingyin answered after thinking for a moment.

"Suzune's cooking skills are pretty good, but I haven't eaten the snacks made by Suzune yet." Chihaya said.

"As for the snacks, it's just like what Chihaya said. It's really troublesome without an oven." Suzune said helplessly, "There's really no need to buy them separately."

"Then why don't you just come to the cooking department and borrow the oven next time?" Chihaya took the initiative to invite, "Everyone in the cooking department actually welcomes you to be our guest."

"I'll think about it." Lingyin nodded.

"Today I feel like I got to know Horikita all over again." Hasebe said after watching Chihaya and Suzune's conversation, "Actually, Horikita is quite easy to talk to! I don't know why, but in everyone's mind, it seems like Horikita has a natural silence."

"Field of Silence?" Lingyin didn't understand.

"Ah, it means silence within the range."

Although she didn't play games, Lingyin felt that she should understand what her classmate meant just by the literal meaning.

"Actually, I was a little surprised. I didn't expect you guys to be so familiar with Chihaya."

As her classmate, she actually reached the point where she could call Chihaya from Class B by her first name and even use nicknames with her. This made Suzune a little bit in awe of Hasebe's outgoing ability - all in all, the school had only been opened for more than three months.

"Hehehe, fate, indescribable - isn't Horikita-san also on good terms with the boss?"

This study session was actually initiated by Chihaya. He came up with this idea after Miyake mentioned last time that the Himimiya group was all girls. It just so happened that Suzune could bring Ayanokouji along, so there would be one more boy.

Moreover, Suzune is more willing to attend study sessions for students in Class D. However, she will definitely refuse any invitation to attend study sessions for Class B.

Moreover, the average score of Miyake, Hasebe, Sakura and others is much higher than that of the three idiots. Even Sakura, who has the lowest score, will listen attentively instead of being like the three idiots, who will listen but can't help complaining.

Especially the fact that Sansha's studies cannot be done without Kushida makes Suzune annoyed.

She didn't have such troubles when she was with Chihaya.

"With Horikita-san here, Chihaya can relax a little. Otherwise, it would be a bit too much for one person to teach the three of us. After all, our weaknesses are different."

Miyake's words were rather polite. He and Hasebe were at an average level and had weak subjects, but Sakura, who was at the bottom of the class, was weak in all five subjects.

"Hahaha, Suzune can also join the study sessions in the future, right? Ayanokouji-san too." Chihaya took the opportunity to invite him, "Isn't that a good idea?"

"I'll consider it." Lingyin did not agree immediately.

"If you don't mind, I'd be happy to." Ayanokouji agreed directly. After all, he also thought that he needed a reasonable reason to contact Chihaya.

So the two of them tacitly cooperated with each other taking advantage of Chihaya's invitation to Horikita Suzune.

"Does this count as Ayanokouji-san joining our 'Hingnomiya Group'?" Hasebe suddenly said.

"The Princess Palace Group?" Ayanokouji and Suzune were both stunned. Apart from the Flying Chess Battle, this was the first time they heard of this term.

"It's just a few of us. The leader is Chihaya, so I call her 'Boss'." Hasebe explained patiently, "Isn't Ayanokouji going to join? That means he's joining the Himiko Group, right?"

"Well, I'm fine. Do you need an examination?"

"Of course not! Okay, Boss?"

"of course."

153. We unite

The result was that at Hasebe's instigation, Suzune and Ayanokouji were both pulled into a group chat called "Hinomiya Group".

Suzune was a little helpless, but Chihaya patted her on the shoulder and said that it was okay not to talk normally, and it would be much more convenient to notify people when organizing study sessions after joining the group.

Lingyin had no choice but to agree.

In fact, let alone group chat, Lingyin rarely even uses the chat function. When there is something, she just calls directly. Her style is quite clean and neat.

This is different from popular contestants like Hoba and Kushida - they have endless messages to reply to, and group chats and private chats never stop.

Especially group chats. Even for a class like Class B, there are inevitably some small group chats outside the class group. Chihaya himself was also pulled into several group chats, but he didn't say much.

On the contrary, Hayasaka is very enthusiastic about this, saying that she can get a lot of useful gossip. She has a lot of group chats on her phone. When Hayasaka enters the state of crazy watering in the group, the whole person is like a flash acupressure master, with two thumbs without stopping, she can reply to several groups in an instant.

As for whether it would be effective, Qian Zao had no idea. After all, he basically only sent messages in a few individual group chats - relatively speaking, he was considered to be a frequent speaker in the group chat of the Concubine Palace Group.

It's true that there's no need for chat software if you're only communicating with Chihaya, but it's more convenient to chat with multiple people in a group. After a little thought, Suzune agreed, and thought to herself that she should probably develop a habit of checking the chat software.

Generally speaking, she was the type of person who only checked for missed calls and never used chat software. Although it was advanced enough, the school had no habit of using mobile phones for notifications except for mandatory text messages. The notifications from the class teachers were also made during class, and there was basically no interruption after school.

Chihaya, who gradually got to know Suzune, would call directly when making an appointment with the former. On the contrary, if she needed to find Kushida, she only needed to send a message on the chat software - not to mention that Chihaya and Hayasaka were pinned on Kushida's chat software, even if they were not pinned, she would reply quickly, which was the reason why Kushida was so popular with many people - even if she couldn't reply immediately, she could still answer at a very fast speed, making the person who sent her the message think that she was important.

......

After the study session of the Himiya group ended, Chihaya and Suzune left together.

"Suzune won second place in the Flying Chess Competition. There should be a reward other than points, right?" Chihaya asked casually.

"...Yes." After a few seconds of silence, Lingyin gave an affirmative answer.

In these few seconds, she figured out what Chihaya meant.

Since Chihaya, who was the first place, asked her this, it proved that she, as the first place, received an extra reward. That's why she asked her, as the second place, whether she received an extra reward. And the purpose of asking this question was probably for the next step. Otherwise, she could just pretend not to know. After all, it would be impossible to know the information the other party had without communication.

Suzune believed that Chihaya would not harm her, so she thought about it before giving an affirmative answer.

"Is that so? I don't know what the reward Suzune received is, but what I received is very important, so I was forbidden by the Student Union to disclose the relevant information."

"That?"

"But I can say anything as long as it's irrelevant, right?" Chihaya winked at Suzune playfully, "Kanzaki and I can each ask a question once and get some 'benefits', and Kanzaki chose the subsequent final exam - but I didn't choose the final exam, Suzune, do you understand what I mean?"

"I think I understand." Lingyin nodded, "I wasn't asked not to spread the information, but the information I got was quite limited."

"I understand. After all, she's the second place, so even if there are extras, they won't be too generous." Chihaya nodded, "Then Suzune should understand that as long as she passes the final exams, the next step is the cruise."

"Ah."

"I hope that we can temporarily form an alliance during this period." Chihaya finally stated her purpose. "Now only our two classes know some of the inside information. Our alliance is the way to achieve the greatest benefit."

"Of course you can, but I have a question I want to clarify."

"Excuse me."

"In fact, even if you don't join forces with Class D, your Class B will have a great chance of winning, right? In this case, wouldn't it be better not to cooperate with Class D? If you just want to use Class D to contain Class C, I think it's hard to convince me."

"Suzune, can you eat a 15-inch pizza by yourself?"

“I can’t eat it.”

"So do you throw away the unfinished portion, or do you invite your good friends to share it?"

"......I see."

A simple and easy-to-understand analogy, Class B cannot take it all, so it gives up a part to Class D in exchange for Class D's support in the future. At the same time, giving it to Class D can also invisibly reduce Class A and Class C. It is actually a win-win situation for Class B and Class D.

Class D needs points to narrow the gap, and Class B also needs Class D to weaken Class A and Class C.

At the same time, Class B can also do a favor for Class D, which is more like a business deal.

"Oh, by the way, Lingyin, there is one thing I want to remind you - you may represent Class D, but I have never represented Class B. Do you understand what I mean? Whether it is the cooperation we have reached this time or the help I provided to you before, it is my personal help to you, not the assistance of Class B to you."

"Is that so? I understand." Suzune nodded. She had long known that Chihaya was not an ordinary person, otherwise the leader of Class B would definitely not be a good guy like Ichinose Honami.

Not only is Fanba not as perceptive as Chihaya, she is also not as good at "forming alliances" as Chihaya.

"Well, I'll contact you again when we get on the cruise ship. By then, I'll be able to provide you with something very important, so look forward to the cruise trip ahead, Lingyin."

Suzune nodded, but did not ask what Chihaya's real purpose was. She was a little confused about what Chihaya was doing.

She doesn't carry out activities for the benefit of the class, but she is very helpful to me. If Chihaya wasn't a girl like me, Suzune would have suspected that Chihaya had a crush on me and did these things for me.

But Chihaya never did anything inappropriate, which made Suzune think that Chihaya couldn't possibly be interested in her.

154. Final Exam

Finally, the final exam arrived.

Because there was nothing fancy and it was just a matter of reviewing for the exam, all four classes passed the exam without any setbacks and still no one dropped out.

The test results will be announced soon.

Class B is first, Class A is second, Class C is third, and Class D is fourth.

Then, among the five subjects, Class B had the highest average scores in three subjects, and Class A had the highest average scores in two subjects.

The top student in the grade is undoubtedly Chihaya.

To sum up, the class points of the four classes change as follows:

Class A: 985+75+10=1070

Class B: 745+100+15=860

Class C: 590+50=640

Class D: 80+25=105

At the end of the semester, Class A, which had the strongest overall strength, even obtained more class points than when the school started, and Class D, which ranked last, barely reached three digits.

Around 10,000 points per month also allowed the students in Class D to gradually have some spare money.

After the final exam results were announced, the four class teachers informed their students of the cruise arrangements, which made the entire first grade excited - after all, it was free for everyone, and they could enjoy it without spending any points, and at the same time they could accumulate points for a period of time.

I haven't had any expenses for nearly half a month, but I was able to save a lot of points.

After the exams, all students will have a short vacation, and then they will embark on an exciting luxury cruise trip.

Also, because no one failed, and there were no tutoring activities in Gaoyu, the students, without the psychological burden, inevitably became a little complacent. Even Sudo, who had been depressed for a long time, recovered his spirits.

After all, he is just a teenage high school boy, and his emotions come and go quickly.

Faced with the upcoming luxury cruise, the three idiots enjoyed themselves to their heart's content.

"I really want to imitate the classic scene from the Titanic with Kushida in a swimsuit on the bow of the ship! You jump! I jump!"
