People in real teaching bring their own maid

"Wow! Thank you so much!" Ichinose took out a piece of paper from her bag and handed it to Chihaya. "This is the registration form. You just need to fill in these few pieces of information and then use your phone to scan this QR code to pay. Mr. Hoshinomiya said that a specific notification will be sent to you after the payment is completed."

"Okay." Chihaya took the registration form, but did not fill it out immediately.

"Are there other students in our class who have signed up? If you want to keep it confidential, you can just tell us the number." Hayasaka couldn't wait to ask after Chihaya took the registration form.

"Unfortunately, only Himiya-san has signed up so far. The registration fee is still a bit high." Ichinose sighed, "Especially since the cost of the second round is unknown, and the rewards are also unknown."

"Hehehe, that's why I encouraged Chihaya to sign up."

"Eh?"

16. Santa Claus

"Hehehe, that's why I encouraged Chihaya to sign up."

"Eh?"

"Of course, I sponsored 8000 points of it!" Hayasaka put her hands on her hips and looked very proud.

"...So Himiya-san has to pay 2000 points." Ichinose was speechless, "Himiya-san actually agreed to this?"

"Well, what should I say, what if the reward is pretty good?"

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that Feigong-san is such an adventurous person."

"Don't underestimate Chihaya. She has loved reading since she was a child and reads a lot!" Hayasaka said, "So these 8000 points are my investment in Chihaya! If she wins more points, I can get 8% of it."

"I just used the time that Xiao Ai spent browsing beauty bloggers and market magazines to read." Chihaya said, "And even if I really won points, Xiao Ai wouldn't be able to take 80% of them, right?"

"Why? Didn't I pay 80% of the points???"

"Yes, but as a participant in the competition, this is a technical investment, and it is quite core, so Xiao Ai only has 10% of the shares."

"Oh no, I'm an employee!" Hayasaka yelled.

"You two have such a great relationship. It's really enviable."

“Don’t envy Ichinose-san. I’ve already told you that you’re my second favorite, Xiao Ai.” Hayasaka said as he put his arm around Ichinose’s shoulders. “This way I’ll be hugging you from both sides, hahahaha—it hurts!”

Chihaya put away the weapon in her hand: the cell phone.

"Why did you hit me!?"

"Calm down, you scared Ichinose-san."

"It's just my way of being friendly!"

"turn down."

"Oh, oh, oh." Hayasaka pretended to cry.

"Ichinose-san, have some tea." Chihaya smiled at Ichinose, "Don't pay attention to this drama queen. She will just go crazy if she doesn't get beaten up for three days."

"Ahahahaha, Hayasaka-san is very lively." Ichinose picked up the teacup to hide his embarrassment.

"Anyway, we just need to wait for news of Chihaya's triumphant return." Hayasaka sat up straight, "And since there is a threshold of 10,000 points, the number of people shouldn't be too large."

"I think there are probably one or two people in each class who are confident in themselves." Ichinose thought for a moment and said, "After all, there are 10 points a month, maybe someone will be willing to take a gamble."

"Then let Chihaya cleanse the world."

"You have too much confidence in me, little Ai-ni."

"Of course, even if you tell me there is no Santa Claus in the world, I will believe it."

"So Hayasaka-san actually believes in Santa Claus?"

"No, I'm of Irish descent, not Finnish descent."

"Hmm, I think Hayasaka-san would be a good candidate for this quiz."

"It's all thanks to Chihaya. Sometimes she would tell me some useless trivia, like the fact that Santa Claus' hometown is in Finland." Hayasaka said 'hey'.

"As expected of you, Himiya-san. I wish you a successful start." Ichinose said as he stood up. "It's getting late, so I'll go back to my room first."

"Okay, take care, Ichinose-san." Chihaya also stood up and walked her to the entrance.

"Okay, okay, don't see me off. I can't help but stay." Ichinose made a small joke before leaving. She quite enjoyed chatting with the two of them.

It's just a little awkward sometimes.

"Hey, hey, hey, stay!" Hayasaka cheered in the room, "But I'm the queen, so I sleep on the bed and you sleep on the floor."

"what?"

"Ignore her. She's having another attack."

"Hahaha, see you tomorrow then."

"Well, Ichinose-san, takashi."

"Wow, for a moment I felt like I was also studying at Seiyo." Ichinose left with a smile.

......

"It seems that Ichinose didn't notice anything unusual." After Ichinose left, Hayasaka immediately returned to his expressionless face.

"She may have noticed something, but she didn't delve into it." Chihaya sat down and poured herself a cup of tea. "She has a very conservative way of thinking. She is a person who seeks stability."

"The entire B class is full of people like her." Hayasaka said, "Also, I found that there seems to be something different about Class C."

"That guy who fights every day, right? I've seen him a few times."

"It seems that he has conquered the black man and several other tall and strong students."

"He is a man worthy of attention."

"In addition, there are signs that Class A is split into two factions, and Class D is a mess." Hayasaka continued to report the information she had obtained.

"The so-called strength first, is it that the classes are divided according to the comprehensive evaluation of students' qualities?" Chihaya suddenly said, "Is it possible that Ichinose, who ranked first in the written test, will be in Class B because she is not good at pioneering but good at maintaining the status quo."

"It's still questionable whether they can maintain their status quo," Hayasaka said. "Compared to the actions of Class C, Class B is a little too gentle."

"It would be disadvantageous if we started a class-to-class confrontation." Chihaya recalled the students in her class, "But the premise is that there is a class-to-class confrontation."

"The usual ones are usually the academic and physical education scores in the exams, right? The disadvantages won't be too obvious."

"It's useless to think about these things now. Before we completely understand what the school is up to, we should focus on gathering intelligence." Chihaya shook her head. "By the way, about the points?"

"It's going very smoothly and we'll be profitable in about half a month."

"That's really efficient. How many points did you invest?"

"It's probably less than 10000 points," Hayasaka replied. "The expected profit is 100000 points."

"Ten times?" Chihaya was very surprised. "Loving you is not a business without capital, right?"

"Miss, I have invested 10,000 points. I definitely don't rob people along the way to collect protection money."

"What can make so much money?"

"You will know the answer in a few days, and you will be surprised then." Hayasaka deliberately left a suspense.

"It's a secret, right? Then I'll wait and see."

"By the way, I will launch a second wave after the funds are recovered, and I will be able to earn more then."

"Is there such a profitable business? And it only requires an initial investment of 10,000 points?"

"Yes, young lady." Hayasaka replied calmly, "You just need to be responsible for spending the money from now on."

"It's so reliable, love."

"You flatter me."

17. Preliminary Round

After the registration deadline, Chihaya received a text message from the school, which stated the time and location of the competition and attached some precautions.

The exam is held in the library, and the preliminary round is a test paper issued by the school, with a total of 100 multiple-choice questions that need to be completed within 20 minutes. The top three will advance to the finals.

There are 100 questions and the time limit is 20 minutes, which means you have to answer 5 questions in one minute to finish, leaving 10 seconds for each question.

In addition, one point is awarded for each correct answer and one point is deducted for each incorrect answer.

If you participate in this competition with the intention of joining in the fun, then the 10000 registration fee will definitely be wasted, unless you are a lucky guy who can get all the answers and guesses right, otherwise the mechanism of deducting points for making mistakes may turn your scores into negative points.

Therefore, it may seem exaggerated to finish 100 questions in 20 minutes, but in fact, compared with speed, accuracy is more important.

If you get 50 questions correct and 60 questions wrong, you will definitely get a higher score.

Chihaya is not worried about this. He is confident in himself, and he would not mind if he did not get a ranking.

Rather than focusing on ranking, he was more interested in gathering intelligence when participating in the competition.

On the day of the competition, Chihaya arrived at the designated location in the library half an hour early, and there were indeed not many contestants.

Looking around, he found that there were less than 10 people.

She was the only one in Class B, and she wasn't sure which class the rest of the people were from.

However, he was a little surprised to see a girl wearing a beret and holding a cane, because she did not look very suitable for boarding school.

The girl in the beret seemed to notice Chihaya's gaze and smiled at him.

In response, Chihaya could only smile back, then found a seat and sat down, waiting quietly.

Ten minutes before the exam officially started, two students appeared with file bags.

"Hello everyone, I am the president of the Student Council, Manabu Horikita, and this is the secretary, Akane Tachibana. The Student Council is fully responsible for this exam. Now I will call the roll. Those whose names are called, please answer. Those who do not answer will be deemed to have given up the exam."

Horikita Manabu gave a clear and concise explanation, and then took out the roster and called the roll.

"First-year Class A, Sakayanagi Arisu."

"Here." The girl in the beret answered.

Sakayanagi? Chihaya had some impression of this surname, but it was not very deep.

"First year, Class B, Chihaya Himiya."

"Here." Unexpectedly, the second one was Chihaya.

There is only one person who signed up for Class A? Is it because of caution or because...

"First year, Class C, Kaneda Satoru, Shiina Hiyori."

"arrive."

"arrive."

The boy with glasses and a scarab hairstyle is Kaneda, and the one with long gray hair and a lazy look is Shiina Hiyori.

"First-year Class D, Suzune Horikita, Teruhiko Yukimura, and Kikyo Kushida."

Instead, three people signed up for Class D.

A girl with the same last name as the student council president and a similar face.

The boy is Yukimura, and the one with short hair and a plump bust is Kikyo Kushida.

When Chihaya noticed Kushida Kikyo, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"A total of seven people will participate in the preliminary round. The three with the highest scores will enter the finals, and the test papers will be distributed now." After Horikita Manabu finished speaking, Secretary Tachibana Akane opened the file bag.

Although there were people from the same class participating together, no two people sat together, so Horikita Manabu directly instructed Tachibana Akane to distribute the test papers without reallocating the seats.

"During the exam, you are strictly prohibited from whispering, snooping on other people's test papers, and using electronic products." Horikita Manabu said the prohibited items according to the procedure. "Finally, you can use any book in the library for reference, provided that you think you have enough time."

20 minutes is already very tight, and I still need to look for a book? There are no special reference books for quizzes, Chihaya couldn't help thinking.

Soon, the exam officially began.

While everyone was answering the questions, Shiina Hiyori suddenly stood up, went to a bookshelf, took down a book, and returned slowly to continue answering the questions.

This made Chihaya admire the other party's courage in her heart.

Some books do contain a lot of interesting knowledge, but first you need to be familiar enough with the library and know the distribution of the books, and then you need to understand the content of the books - this is a lot of work, especially since the text message after registration did not explain the rule that you can flip through books in the library.

The only thing we can understand is that this girl is particularly familiar with the library.

20 minutes passed in a flash, and soon it was time to collect the papers.

"The test results will be sent to your mobile phone via text message tonight. Please proceed according to the content of the text message."
