I'm in a real religion, why are all the people who confess to me girls?

"I have no interest in him. You can take him away, but you need to leave the key card behind."

Ichinose was slightly disappointed by Amane’s words, but he nodded anyway.

"Please Shibata-san, take Kanzaki-san to the tent to rest first, and then...if Kanzaki-san is still not awake at dawn, go find Hoshinomiya-sensei."

Ichinose glanced at the sky. Although it had just rained, it was still pitch black outside. Even with a flashlight, visibility was very poor. If she asked Shibata to hurry to find Mr. Hoshinomiya, she was afraid that something might happen to him, so she asked him to go tomorrow, while she continued to confront Amane to see if there was any way to solve the problem.

"Leave Kanzaki to me."

Shibata helped Kanzaki up and prepared to leave.

"Shibata-san..."

Ichinose suddenly called out Shibata but didn't say anything.

Shibata was stunned at first and then quickly lowered his head.

"Miyako-san didn't even have time to look at the name on the key card."

Ichinose smiled.

This is the tacit understanding that is unique to Class B.

If Tianyin had already seen the name on the back of the key card, then there would be no point in her confronting Tianyin here.

The current situation is that Tianyin defeated Kanzaki but failed to check the information on the back of the key card in time, so there is still a lot of room for improvement.

"Ichinose, come here for a moment."

Seeing Tianyin reaching out for him to pass, Ichinose subconsciously came to Tianyin's side.

"Tianyin, what do you have... woooo."

Chapter 256: We Can’t Do This

“Wait, we can’t do this.”

Ichinose pushed Amane away in panic and covered his mouth.

"Sorry, I'll be more careful next time. I didn't mean to bite you..."

"Please don't talk about this anymore... I'll be embarrassed."

Ichinose covered her mouth and turned around and ran a few steps to quickly distance herself from Tianyin. She originally thought that Tianyin wanted to whisper something to her, but she didn't expect Tianyin to directly...

In panic, she wanted to speak and was bitten... When she thought of the beautiful scene just now, Ichinose felt like her face was burning with fire, and it was getting hotter and hotter.

"Ichi...Honami, you're also cute when you're shy."

Ichinose covered her chest with her hands. Her face was like a ripe red apple, red from her ears to her neck.

The sound of "Fanbo" from Tianyin just now was a name she hadn't heard for a long time.

Tianyin didn't call her earlier or later, but she chose to call her Fanbo under such circumstances. What a...

"Idiot, why...why did you call my name in a situation like this?"

She had clearly just had the urge to confront Tianyin, but Tianyin resolved the situation with just a few words, and she even took advantage of the opportunity.

The sound of the waves made the slight regret in her heart disappear without a trace.

Since the last time, Tianyin never called Ichinose by her name again. Even when she took the initiative to throw herself into his arms, Tianyin was reluctant to call her Honoki again.

But today, that familiar name is back again.

Does this mean that their relationship has returned to what it was before?

"We are so close, but calling me Ichinose sounds strange."

"What do you mean close? Tianyin and you are just friends. We don't have... we don't have any other relationship."

Ichinose quickly opened his mouth to clarify his attitude.

However, Amane's ambiguous gaze made Ichinose look evasive.

"Well, let's just treat it as friendship. What are you going to do now? The exams are going to end tomorrow, and your class has lost all their cards. What are you going to do?"

Amane brought Ichinose's thoughts back to the exam.

There were only a dozen hours left before the exam ended, but they lost their key card on the most crucial night.

Whether or not they can punch in is a small matter. Once Tianyin finds out the name of the key card holder, all their efforts over the past few days will be wasted.

“Tianyin… can’t you…”

She wanted Tianyin to be flexible, but she couldn't bring herself to ask for it. Tianyin got the key card with her own ability, so why should she return the key card to her without even looking at the most crucial information?

"Fanbo, it's not too late for you to give up now."

Tianyin did not respond to Ichinose's words because she knew that it was impossible for Ichinose to ask her to hand over the card right now.

As for the deal, Ichinose doesn't have any cards in his hand.

To put it simply, the current situation is already a "checkmate" and a dead check.

If Amane wanted, she could just pick up the key card, look at the name on the back, and then give the card to Ichinose.

Ichinose couldn't stop Amane from doing this no matter what, but Amane didn't want the game to end like this. This might be one of the few chances in the future to fight against Class B led by Ichinose. If it ended so hastily, it would probably only leave disappointment when looking back, right?

"It's easy to give up, but if you give up now, it would be a shameful loss."

Tianyin came to the camp alone and stole the keycard, but there was nothing I could do. Is there anything more embarrassing than this?

Ichinose thought that he might lose to Amane but definitely not in this way.

"I admire your persistence, Fanbo, but the fact is that as long as I take a look at the name on the back of the key card, the game is over."

"Shibata-san, wake everyone up."

Ichinose didn't look back, but she knew Shibata could definitely hear her.

After a while, the entire Class B camp began to become agitated, with students in untidy sportswear running out of their tents one after another.

"Hamaguchi-san, Ninomiya-san, Himeno-san, take your people to surround Amane, do not use violence, if Amane wants to leave, hold her back, Shibata-san, go find Hoshinomiya-sensei first."

Ichinose gave orders one after another before everyone came to their senses.

Soon, the two teams of girls and the two teams of boys trapped Tianyin in the middle from four directions.

Ichinose kept his distance to avoid being held hostage by Amane.

Because the distance between the four groups of people is very close, as long as Tianyin makes the slightest movement, someone will definitely be able to interfere with Tianyin, no matter how powerful Tianyin is, he is just one person.

Originally, Ichinose didn't want Shibata to take risks, but now the only way to make Amane give up on snatching the key card is to let Mr. Hoshinomiya to arbitrate and judge whether Amane's behavior constitutes malicious snatching of Class B's key card. You know, if it is discovered that someone has snatched other classes' key cards, the entire class will immediately lose the qualification to compete.

"Ichinose-san, what on earth is going on here?"

Ninomiya was still a little surprised. It was broad daylight and Tianyin was sitting there quietly monitoring Class B. How come when he woke up, Tianyin looked like he was about to take action?

"Everyone, listen to me. It was Kanzaki's mistake that caused the key card to be snatched away by Amane. The key card is now at her feet. Fortunately, Amane has not seen the name of the key card holder yet. Now I want everyone to focus on Amane. If she wants to move or intends to bend down to pick up the key card, everyone can interfere with Amane without my order, even if it means knocking her down or squeezing her, but it is strictly forbidden to use force. Everyone, do you understand what I mean?"

Ichinose stepped forward at the critical moment and gave instructions to everyone.

"Although there are many things to complain about, to put it simply, as soon as this woman moves, we just rush over and knock her down, right?"

Ji Ye scratched his head and asked uncertainly.

Her mind wasn't very clear at the moment, so she specifically asked Ichinose.

"Hino-san is right."

Ichinose looked at Amane who was surrounded by people, and for the first time he showed confidence.

Although she is the mouthpiece of the collective will on various matters, at the same time, no one will question her orders. This is the pros and cons of collective unity. While losing freedom, you gain greater power.

"It's a good idea, but the downside is that you shouldn't say that in front of me because... I'm very patient."

It turns out that Tianyin's words were not a lie.

She stood there motionless for ten hours.

It was not until the morning that Teacher Hoshinomiya came to check on the situation. When he saw the students of Class B sleeping on the ground, and then looked at Amane who was surrounded in the middle and motionless like a rock, Teacher Hoshinomiya's face showed a shocked expression.

Chapter 257: One Man's Show

"Miyako-san, you didn't sleep all night, did you?"

It was obvious from Tianyin's mental state that she was exhausted at the moment, but Xing Zhigong still asked with some disbelief, because when she called the roll yesterday morning, Tianyin had already been sitting there all night.

Including last night, Tianyin has not slept for almost two days and two nights. Even a boy with good physical fitness would find it difficult to last for two days and two nights without sleep.

Not to mention that Tianyin is a girl. It is amazing that she can hold on. From now on, except for being a little tired, Tianyin is still in good condition, which makes Xing Zhigong feel a little unbelievable.

"Well, Tianyin didn't sleep last night."

The one who answered for Amane was Ichinose, who also hadn't slept a wink all night. Since Ichinose had gone to bed a while earlier, he looked much more energetic than Amane.

But the ordinary students in Class B obviously didn't have such great perseverance. Even though Ichinose divided them into groups to contain Amane, after several rotations, most of the students in Class B couldn't hold on.

Even though the remaining few managed to hold on, it was of no help to the overall situation. With their unsteady steps, it was impossible for them to snatch the key card of Class B from Tianyin.

“It seems that my perseverance is better.”

Tianyin stretched her stiff body and looked at Ichinose with a smile.

"Although I admire your perseverance, Tianyin, it's a pity that Mr. Hoshinomiya is here. Tianyin, you still have to give up the key card, right?"

Ichinose forced himself to cheer up and smiled back at Amane.

This was the first time that she and Tianyin stood on the exam stage head-on with her own ideas.

Ichinose was a little excited, and it was this little excitement that made Ichinose feel less sleepy.

According to the current situation, as long as Tianyin refuses to return the key card, it will be regarded as malicious theft of the key card, and the entire class will be directly disqualified from the competition.

This means that all of Tianyin’s previous efforts will be in vain.

If Tianyin doesn't want to be considered as maliciously snatching the key card, she can only choose to move away from where the key card is. Ichinose will not give Tianyin the opportunity to bend down to pick up the key card.

"Tianyin, your behavior is indeed a little bit off the mark. What are you going to do next? Now that things have come to this, why don't you go back and have a good sleep? The exam will be over in four hours."

As Xing Zhigong spoke, he slowly approached Tianyin, trying to make Tianyin relax his tense heartstrings.

High-intensity mental concentration will bring many sequelae, especially since she knows the subsequent arrangements. If she lets Tianyin continue to endure it now, it may be difficult for Tianyin to exert his full strength in the subsequent tests.

"I didn't snatch the key card now, the key card just fell at my feet"

Tianyin said this while bending down.

Ichinose immediately lowered her body. She was the only one in good shape now. Although she couldn't compete with athletes like Shibata in speed, Ichinose's physical fitness was considered to be in the upper middle range among girls.

As long as she could interrupt Tianyin's checking of the key card for a moment, this battle would be a victory for Class B.

As Amane bent down, his eyes were fixed on the movements of Hoshinomiya and Ichinose.

He slowly placed his fingers under his sneakers, slowly pulled the key card out about half the distance, and then suddenly stopped.

The key card fell to the ground with its back side up, and half of the distance was just right on the name of the key card holder. If it moved forward a little further, it would be possible to guess who the key card holder of Class B was.

But Tianyin stopped at this moment, and this scene made Ichinose feel a dull pain in his stomach. Tianyin neither grabbed the key card nor took the opportunity to check the name of the key card holder, but Class B had no way to take ownership of the key card into their own hands.

Even Mr. Hoshinomiya frowned, not knowing how to judge this.

"I'm sorry, I didn't sleep all night and I feel a little tired. Even bending over makes my back ache. I guess you guys have to come and get the key card yourself."

Tianyin held his forehead and tapped his back gently. He really looked like he had back pain, but the people who saw Tianyin's behavior just now didn't believe Tianyin's explanation at all.

It's clear that he is not giving up and plans to continue delaying time.

As long as Class B checks in before twelve o'clock, they can get four more stronghold points. Although four stronghold points are not many, who would complain that their class has too many points?

"Since you have no intention of seeing the name of the key card holder, Tianyin, how about returning the key card to us?"

Ichinose looked like he was still trying to resolve the issue through conversation, and he quietly closed the distance between himself and Amane.

"Honoka, just stand there. I'll get nervous if you get too close to me. If I get nervous and accidentally break the key card, you'll be in trouble."

Amane's words made Ichinose a little hesitant.

The school must have prepared countermeasures to avoid special situations with key cards, but the problem is that time is running out.

If we go to apply for a new key card now, and if Class D comes and seizes all the bases, Class B will be in big trouble.

For a moment, Ichinose could only stand still, not knowing what to do.
