I have a life simulator.

Sakayanagi Arisu's purple pupils reflected Kitagawa Ryo's image, her tone very soft:

"I've heard my dad apologize before:"

He said that everyone is experiencing something for the first time, and it was also his first time being a father.

"Actually, I didn't know how to get along with Ryo at first. I felt that you were very important to me, but I didn't know how to express it."

So it's okay.

Sakayanagi Arisu reached out and took Kitagawa Ryo's hand, offering her warmth to the person beside her on the winter beach.

Then they exchanged warmth with each other.

"Anyway, geniuses always learn faster."

She smirked mischievously.

What?! Our favorite couple has become a real-life couple! The spin-off variety show "The Daily Life of Geniuses," based on the reality show "The Strongest Genius," premieres this week!

[Episode 23: "It's Actually the First Time I Met You," airing Thursday at 00 PM!]

Matsushita Chiaki, who had just finished her tutoring homework and came out of her room to get a drink of water, heard her mother's excited shouts.

She twitched the corners of her mouth and began to seriously consider the feasibility of a paternity test.

I've figured some things out; I'll update tomorrow.

The period after the COVID-19 outbreak when I didn't update had a significant impact on me. It felt like the original plot and rhythm were broken, and I couldn't get it back. Moreover, I am actually a simple fan who really likes the original work. Although the original Classroom of the Three Kingdoms may be quite controversial, I have always felt that writing fanfiction ultimately benefits from the momentum of the original work. Therefore, I have always paid close attention to the connection between the various settings and character details of the original work and this book.

So even though I keep telling myself that I'm writing fanfiction, and some friends who also write realistic fanfiction advise me that many readers haven't finished reading the original work and I shouldn't think too much about it, I still awkwardly care about the various settings in the original work. This has led to me struggling a bit in my writing, and I don't want to pad the story. It's common for me to write a lot and then delete it, so I haven't been able to maintain even one update a day for a while.

However, I've come to some conclusions in the last couple of days. I'll try not to be too constrained by the original work. After all, what I'm writing is both the story of Classroom of the Real and the story of Kitagawa Ryo, nothing more.

I will resume normal updates starting tomorrow. Thank you all for liking and supporting me all this time. I am very grateful.

Chapter 110: Love-struck Men Are Terrifying

Although the weather at the end of February still carried a slight chill, many fashion-conscious girls at Tokyo Advanced Educational High School had already shed their bulky winter clothes and donned brightly colored spring outfits in the occasional bleak wind, fully displaying their youthful vitality.

Winter has passed and spring has arrived. The change of seasons also means that another school year is coming to an end, especially for third-year students, which also means that graduation season is approaching.

Unlike other middle schools, the graduation season at Tokyo Advanced Educational High School is not filled with sadness, confusion, or longing, but rather with an atmosphere that is more tense, somber, and extremely oppressive. This year, the oppressive atmosphere reached its peak, and even the lower-grade students noticed something was amiss.

Because this year's graduating class, up to this moment, has not yet truly determined a winner.

At this crucial juncture three years later, Class A and Class B are separated by only 73 class points.

This also means that the suspense of this year's Class A spots remained almost until the very last moment. Under the educational system of Tokyo Advanced Educational High School, where Class A is the only option, it is no exaggeration to say that the treatment of Class A and Class B after graduation is worlds apart, even though they may sound similar.

Besides, having already worked so hard to this point, no one has any reason to give up easily.

Especially for Class B of Grade 3, who have fought their way up to this point and are just one step away from victory.

As the absolute leader of the class, Yuda has been leading Class 3-B forward methodically since the last cultural festival, gradually narrowing the gap and catching up with Class A step by step. Nearly three years of cooperation and the imminent victory made Class 3-B seem invincible, and everyone firmly believed that they would eventually be promoted to Class A.

According to Yuda's prediction, in addition to the graduation exam, there should be a special exam at the end of this month. If he performs well, it is not impossible for him to defeat Class A.

Moreover, besides the class, Yuda also found something else important.

Ever since Hoshinomiya Chie from his class reminded him of his feelings for Chabashira Sae during the last school festival, he had started to notice her feelings for him. And once feelings are realized, they inevitably begin to flourish. When Tomoda came to his senses again, he realized that he had called Chabashira Sae out to him alone.

Although somewhat disappointed that she hadn't chosen the cherry blossom season, on a winter's transition into spring evening, bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, Tomoda still took a step forward and extended her hand:

"I like you."

"Please...give me your guidance."

From that moment on, he and Chabashira Sae became a couple.

"Pah-chi-pah-chi."

Looking at the scene of the confession, Sakayanagi Arisu gently clapped her hands, appearing quite moved.

Standing next to her, Kitagawa Ryo twitched the corners of his mouth. He never expected to see JK Chabashira Sae Rika accept his confession with tears in her eyes. After all, in his memory, she always had a grumpy face as if everyone owed her three million. This contrast was really unexpected.

Although Tokyo Advanced Educational High School has always been under closed management and is generally not open to foreign visitors except for events such as cultural festivals, the students passing by seemed oblivious to Kitagawa Ryo and Sakayanagi Arisu on the roadside. After all, three days earlier, the school had already announced on its forum that the latest episode of "Daily Life of Geniuses" would be filmed at Tokyo Advanced Educational High School.

From last November until now, with the support of huge hype and the help of some people, the program "The Strongest Genius" in which Kitagawa Ryo and Sakayanagi Arisu participated has been quite popular all over the country. However, unlike the more hardcore "The Strongest Genius", the behind-the-scenes spin-off variety show "The Daily Life of Geniuses" starring the two is more popular among housewives and students. Many of the interactions between Kitagawa Ryo and Sakayanagi Arisu have won the hearts of many CP fans with the careful editing and post-production of the program team. For a time, they even had a hint of a national CP.

While the White Room and Tokyo Advanced Educational High School were making headlines, Ayanokoji Atsuomi and Onishima were also ramping up their own publicity and image, which led to the choice of Tokyo Advanced Educational High School as the recording location this time. They also announced that the next recording location would be the White Room.

"I remember... this is the leader from Class 3-B, right?"

After witnessing the high school students' confession scene, Sakayanagi Arisu immediately recalled, thanks to her excellent memory, that she had met Tomoda at the school festival a few months ago. Come to think of it, if the quiz competition held by Class 3-A hadn't been so popular, the maid café he ran would have been the winner of that school festival.

After all, the maids in their class were indeed of excellent quality.

"Oh yeah, and the girl he confessed to should be one of those maids from the cultural festival."

Kitagawa Ryo casually replied that Class 3-B has been doing relatively well so far, but with less than two months until graduation, the incident that caused Class 3-B to fall into a slump and caused Chabashira Sae and Hoshinomiya Chie to develop inner demons should be coming soon.

"Speaking of which, we should have some time after recording the show tomorrow. Ryo, would you like to go shopping with me?"

"I remember Chairman Sakayanagi said that it would be best not to affect the normal teaching activities of Dongyu."

"it's okay no problem."

Sakayanagi Arisu waved casually; after spending several months together, her relationship with Kitagawa Ryo had grown even closer.

"I've already asked my dad, and it seems like the third graders are going to have a special exam tomorrow. They'll all have to stay in the classroom and take the exam during that time."

"Special exam?"

Kitagawa Ryo's mind raced; he had a vague premonition that this was the incident from that time:

"That sounds interesting. Can we go check it out tomorrow?"

"Hmm, if it's just the two of us without a cameraman... it should be fine, right?"

Sakayanagi Arisu pondered for a moment, then nodded hesitantly.

"Then it's settled. Let's go check out Dongyu's special exam together tomorrow."

"Ah."

Just as the two finished speaking, a first-year student with a look of surprise ran over from the side.

"Excuse me, are you Ryo and Arisu themselves?"

Misaka Yanagi Arisu and Kitagawa Ryo nodded, and the girl's eyes also lit up:

"Can we take a photo?"

"Oh, no problem."

"can."

After filming variety shows for the past few months, Kitagawa Ryo, who used to be a child actor, goes without saying, and even Sakayanagi Arisu has honed a standard business smile, smiling as she agreed.

"Could you two make a heart shape with your hands?"

Somewhat embarrassed, the girl made the request again, handing her phone to another boy in her group and looking expectantly at Kitagawa Ryo and Sakayanagi Arisu.

Kitagawa Ryo nodded with a slight amusement, then extended his left hand toward Sakayanagi Arisu, his fingers slightly bent into a semi-circular C shape.

Sakayanagi Arisu also cooperated by extending her right hand, forming a heart shape with two Cs, and raising her beautiful eyebrows at the camera.

After the group photo was taken, the girl tactfully said goodbye immediately. However, she hadn't gone more than two steps when she couldn't help but start discussing loudly. For example, she used slang such as "Locked up, locked up, I swallowed the key" and "I'm so lucky, xx is the best in the world." Kitagawa Ryo and Sakayanagi Arisu, who were still standing there, were stunned. They looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

-------------------------------------

"What you're going to be challenged on this occasion is a special test that requires everyone to agree."

The sudden attack caught Class 3B off guard, and they received a notification from their homeroom teacher.

Looking at the somewhat noisy classroom, the homeroom teacher immediately said in a deep voice:

"Because the exam rules were very simple, the school felt that there was no need for prior discussion or notification."

"The rules of the exam can be summarized in one sentence: you have to choose from the given topics and reach a consensus among all the participants to pass. There are five topics in total. If you pass all of them, you will receive fifty class points."

For Class 3B, the words "class points" are undoubtedly the sweetest words. The restlessness of the whole class immediately quieted down, and they all looked at the class teacher with expectant eyes.

"Let's start with some example questions to help everyone better understand this exam."

The homeroom teacher of Class 3B distributed tablets to each student in turn, and then projected a topic onto the whiteboard:

[Each student loses five class points, but gains 10,000 personal points.]

[Agree/Disagree]

"Now, everyone, please refrain from all discussion and speaking, and select your answer on your tablet within sixty seconds."

Most students did not hesitate at all, after all, every class point was crucial at this moment, far more important than the points of ten thousand individuals. As a result, the voting results were displayed in less than sixty seconds.

[In favor: 0 votes. Against: 34 votes]

An expected result.

The class teacher nodded and continued explaining:

"The next five topics will follow the same pattern as the example questions. The anonymous voting time will still be sixty seconds. If everyone agrees, we will move on to the next topic. If not, we will have a ten-minute discussion time. We will vote every ten minutes until everyone agrees or the time runs out."

"The total time is five hours. If five tasks are not completed within five hours, three hundred points will be deducted from the class score."

The unprecedentedly severe punishment sent a chill down the spines of all the students in Class 3B.

"At the same time, students who fail to answer within 60 seconds will be considered to have exceeded the time limit. If the time limit exceeds 90 seconds, the student will be expelled."

After briefly introducing the rules, the class teacher immediately moved on to the formal "unanimous examination" session.

The first four questions were basically stress-free. Even if there were occasional minor disagreements, they could usually be resolved quickly with Yuda's coordination. In less than an hour, Class 3-B had already reached a consensus four times.

Just when Class 3B thought they were going to get those fifty class points for free, the appearance of the fifth topic caused the entire class to fall into an eerie silence in an instant, plunging into an abrupt stillness:

[You will receive 100 class points for each classmate who drops out of school.]

[For/Oppose]

If everyone agrees, the student to be expelled must then be nominated and a vote taken.

Just then, Kitagawa Ryo and Sakayanagi Arisu strolled leisurely to the entrance of Class 3-B. Because everyone's attention was focused on the project, and with the curtains providing cover, no one in Class 3-B noticed the two children approaching.

Due to the rules, no one could speak before the first round of voting for each topic. So, in silence, Class 3B began the first vote for the fifth topic.

[In favor: 5 votes. Against: 29 votes]

Without reaching a consensus, Class 3B, which had entered the discussion phase, immediately erupted into chaos.

"How could we possibly vote in favor? Haven't we all been working hard all this time? Everyone in the class is a teammate, right?"

A boy, seemingly unable to comprehend the situation, held his head and said.

"But this is 100 class points..."

Another girl muttered.

Currently, the difference between Class B and Class A in 3rd year is only 73 points. If Class A chooses to oppose and Class B chooses to support... then Class B's class points will surpass Class A's, making it the new Class A at this crucial moment before graduation.

"Furthermore, if we object and Class A agrees, the gap between us and Class A will become 173 points."

Another boy spoke up.

"But Class A wouldn't choose to expel someone; their class is very united."

One of the girls retorted.

"Then we should agree. If Class A chooses not to let anyone drop out, this is a great opportunity for a major reversal."

Following the logic of the girl, a boy curled his lip.

Yuda remained silent for the time being, trying his best to calm everyone down. There was still plenty of time, and he decided to watch two more rounds of voting.

A few minutes later, when the results of the second round of voting came out, Yuda's brows furrowed even more deeply.

[In favor: 10 votes. Against: 24 votes.]

The number of students who supported dropping out of school to earn 100 class points increased.

The risk-free nature of anonymous voting has stirred up the desires of many.

If one student drops out... as long as they don't drop out and remain in the same class, they might be able to advance to Class A!
