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

Sakayanagi tapped her lips and began to recite a long list of names that Amane was very familiar with.

"If I'm not mistaken, Nagumo, Shibata, Horikita, Katsuragi, Shiina, Ryuen, and Kanzaki are all on your suspect list, right? Who else is left? Judging from your expression... you've already checked the people who are most likely to have intervened, right?"

Sakayanagi came closer to Amane and put on an expression that said 'No one knows you better than me'.

But Tianyin just shook her head.

"What? I'm not the last one? Then who is the last one? Katsuragi?"

If we consider the strongest Class A as the finale, if there is still one person left, the most likely person is Katsuragi, whom Amane has not met yet.

Being familiar with Tianyin's methods of operation, she naturally knew that Tianyin would put the person who was closest to the answer to the mystery last.

The one closest to the answer is not the people who are most likely to be suspected, but those who have the greatest potential but are inconspicuous.

"I plan to look for Hiyori next."

"Shiina? Excuse me, the probability of her doing such a thing is almost zero. A person can disguise himself to create another personality, but it is obvious that Shiina does not have such advanced disguise techniques. Many of her actions are arbitrary. It is hard to imagine that such a person would do something to tarnish the reputation of others."

When Sakayanagi heard that Amane actually chose Shiina as the finale, she immediately felt that Amane's intuition might fail this time.

Because in Sakayanagi's opinion, the initiator of this inexplicable rumor must be one of Shibata, Kanzaki, and Nanyun, and even if the others were involved, they were just boosters.

And Shiina is the type who is not even qualified to suspect that she is the one who fueled the flames.

“I just thought she might give me some inspiration.”

Amane's words made Sakayanagi vaguely suspicious, but she didn't show it. She and Shiina were just casual acquaintances, and she knew Shiina far less than Amane did. So since Amane valued Shiina so much, it meant that Shiina must have some extraordinary qualities.

After leaving Sakayanagi, Tianyin checked the time. It was almost time for dinner. Tianyin was more interested in how the school planned to announce the information about the favored students.

It would be too conspicuous to go looking for Shiina at this time.

So Tianyin planned to go there at night. That way, even if she bumped into others, they would most likely guess that the two were discussing something about the preferential treatment.

Just when Tianyin was about to go to the buffet restaurant to have dinner first, Tianyin's cell phone suddenly rang.

Tianyin quickly took out her cell phone and saw that it was Horikita calling.

The call from Horikita at this time must be about something urgent, so Tianyin quickly answered the phone.

The other party only said one sentence hurriedly.

“The favored have already been chosen.”

"What? How did the school inform the favored students? Was it through a cell phone email?"

Tianyin was a little surprised to hear the news from Horikita. Why would the school choose this time to contact the favored students?

Is it so that all classes can prepare in advance?

"Yes, I have sent you the details. Please take a look when you have time. If you find anything unusual, please tell me."

Horikita reminded them worriedly that this was her first time to appear on the stage of such a large-scale special exam. Even if it was a bad start, they had to at least ensure that Class D could maintain its current status. By the time school starts, they will be promoted to Class B.

If something unexpected happens that causes her to drop in class ranking, it will be a long process to regain trust. Besides that, she found that Kushida, who had always been quiet and seemed forgotten, became active at some point.

Contact Shibata privately to trade the numbers of classmates in Class D.

Although Horikita disagrees with her selling her own numbers when she is in financial difficulty, he can understand her motives.

But what Kushida did was a bit too much. She actually connected dozens of boys and girls to trade numbers through smuggling channels.

In order to prevent Shibata from quickly uncovering the secret of the favored person, Horikita once ordered that the trading of his own playing card numbers was strictly prohibited.

However, she overlooked a very realistic problem. After her initial 100,000 points were used up, all her points were obtained from Tianyin. With the support of Tianyin's huge points of unknown total amount, Horikita naturally could not have any financial difficulties.

The poor guys in Class D were different. Even the very thrifty Yukimura and Wang Meiyu had almost used up their points.

Perhaps Horikita would be confused. How come he was still facing financial difficulties when the stock price was only a few thousand points a month? Why did he still face financial difficulties when the stock price was only a little over 20,000 points a month?

The reason is simple, because everyone is eating the mountain vegetable set meal to save money, Horikita spends about 60,000 personal points a month just on buying food, daily necessities and drinks. Of course, Tianyin's food expenses account for the bulk of it, but for Horikita, she gradually lost the concept of personal points, and personal points are just numbers to her.

Even if most people have more than 20,000 personal points, they won't be able to save much by tightening their belts until the end of the month.

Most people in Class D live such a tight life, so it is hard for anyone to refuse the price of 50,000 personal points offered by Shibata. Of course, everyone knows that this number is related to the favored person, but they always have a fluke mentality, thinking that the favored person is definitely not them. Even if Horikita is dissatisfied, with so many people selling numbers, it is impossible for Horikita to punish everyone.

Not to mention that schools condone such things.

After losing Amane's help, Horikita couldn't help but get confused when she heard in the afternoon that more than 95% of the students in Class D sold the numbers on their playing cards to Shibata. She began to hope that Amane could give her some tips to help her win.

Chapter 333: End of the Large-Scale Examination

After hanging up the phone, Tianyin looked through the message sent by Horikita.

One person from Class D has already sent information to Horikita that he is a favored person, which means that the number of favored people known to Horikita is two.

I have to say that the school is really generous and actually contacted the beneficiaries directly via text messages.

In this case...it is not difficult to imagine that some groups will definitely try some more extreme means to obtain the status of favored within the group.

Just when Tianyin was still thinking, the sound of the radio suddenly came.

"The Horse Team's exam is over. Students from the Horse Team do not need to take exams anymore. Please be careful and do not disturb other students."

Is the horse group's exam over?

Tianyin's emotions were only slightly agitated, and then he calmed down. Apart from Class B, there was no other class that could launch an attack during this period of time.

However, Class B's offensive was more than just that.

"The Rat Group's exam is over. Students from the Rat Group do not need to take exams anymore. Please be careful and do not disturb other students."

"The exam for the Ox Group is over. Students from the Ox Group do not need to take the exam again. Please be careful and do not disturb other students."

"The Tiger Team's exam is over. Students from the Tiger Team do not need to take exams anymore. Please be careful and do not disturb other students."

"The dog group exam is over. Dog group students do not need to take the exam anymore. Please be careful and do not disturb other students."

The long list of announcements about the end of the exams left most people stunned and stunned.

Even Sakayanagi, who had prepared herself mentally, couldn't help but stand up and asked Kamuro and Hashimoto to start collecting information on those who were favored by Class A.

Tianyin opened the notepad on her phone and took notes silently.

The seven groups of favored people that have been eliminated now are rat, ox, tiger, dragon, horse, monkey and dog.

The remaining groups are rabbit group, snake group, sheep group, chicken group and pig group.

Tianyin already has an idea about who the Snake Group favors, and can basically lock on to someone.

That is to say, among the remaining five groups, there are three groups of Class B’s favored students, and the remaining two groups are the groups where Shibata failed to buy the key poker card numbers.

Amane re-checked the information sent by Horikita.

The favored student from Class D was on the trading list provided by Kushida, which meant that she was also involved in the transaction, and her group, Team Ma, had indeed completed this special exam.

This is enough to show that the end of this large-scale examination is extremely purposeful.

Class B acted decisively, but unfortunately...

A sarcastic smile appeared on Tianyin's lips, and at this moment the radio sounded again, and Tianyin couldn't help but stop.

If any changes occur in the remaining groups, there will probably be big problems.

"Emergency notice, Ichinose from Class 1B has withdrawn from the special exam due to health reasons and has returned to school first. In view of his special situation, his class will not be deducted points, but he will be punished with 100,000 personal points. At the same time, due to the withdrawal of a member, the Sheep Group will re-screen the preferential treatment in two hours. For the inconvenience caused to all members of the group, the school will give each member of the Sheep Group 10,000 personal points as compensation, and the holder of the joker card will be compensated with an additional 50,000 personal points and the corresponding preferential treatment information will be re-provided."

This piece of news caused a huge uproar.

It is actually understandable that Ichinose withdrew from the exam. After all, public opinion is still fermenting, and the school cannot completely block public opinion for the time being. Instead of being embarrassed by seeing each other every day, it is better to go back and have a good rest.

But Tianyin saw more. Ichinose's return to school was approved normally, which meant that this would be the last special exam in the summer vacation. As long as tomorrow passed, there would be less than half a month left to enjoy the rest of the summer vacation.

On the other hand, what does Ichinose's withdrawal have to do with the Sheep Group?

If Ichinose is not a preferential treatment recipient, then there is no need for the school to make additional compensation to the joker card holder and provide preferential treatment recipient information again.

Because their intelligence on favored parties is no longer accurate.

Only this answer can explain why the school would compensate the sheep group.

Then who from Class D is in the sheep group?

Tianyin opened the group assignment that Horikita had first sent her, and was surprised to find that Matsushita was in the Sheep Group and was the holder of the Goblin card.

In this way, Panasonic missed the victory, but received 60,000 points in compensation and subsequent information compensation. If they were luckier, they would have made some money.

I'm afraid tonight is destined to be a night of game of chess among all parties.

But it has nothing to do with Amane now. She has done everything she can. She is not the guardian angel of Class D and has no obligation to protect Class D from being promoted to Class A. She will only play this game with Horikita if Horikita wants to play.

Now Horikita has the ability to become a chess player, and Amane has arranged for her to have Ayanokouji as an assistant, so this lineup is enough for her to be promoted to Class A.

Her life should return to normal.

Before that, she still had to go talk to Shiina. She still vaguely felt that something was wrong with Ichinose's affairs. Even though Ichinose had already evaded the issue, no matter how loud the public opinion was, it would not hurt Ichinose for a while. However, the impenetrable fog surrounding this matter made Tianyin a little upset.

When Tianyin found Shiina, Shiina was enjoying dinner with Ibuki, chatting and laughing.

As soon as Ibuki saw Tianyin's smiling face, her face immediately turned serious, as if Tianyin owed her millions of points.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't disturb your meal, did I?"

Tianyin's polite words were immediately retorted by Ibuki.

"Sorry to bother you. If you have nothing else, I hope you can leave as soon as possible. I can't eat as long as I see you standing there."

"Ibuki-san..."

Shiina stood up with some concern. Tianyin knew that Shiina was afraid that Tianyin would get angry and teach Ibuki a lesson in public.

Well, is she already a violent person in other people's eyes? But it's okay this way, a strong image can reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"It's okay, I forgive her rudeness."

Then, Amane sat down next to her under Ibuki's incredulous gaze.

This action completely angered Ibuki.

"Who needs your forgiveness——"

Ibuki's angry voice suddenly stopped.

Because Tianyin put her finger on her lips to make a gesture of silence.

Shiina felt a dull pain in his head. If this continued, the two of them would definitely have a heated argument.

But what Shiina didn't expect was that Ibuki actually closed his mouth obediently and lowered his head to eat the food on the plate.

This made Shiina curious about how Amane managed to calm Ibuki down all of a sudden.

Shiina saw that the dispute was resolved, and she patted her chest to calm down. However, the moment she sat down, she seemed to see Tianyin take her hand away from Ibuki's waist...

I must have seen it wrong, right?

Chapter 334: Seeking the Truth

Shiina suspected that he had just seen something wrong, so he rubbed his eyes gently.

Tianyin was sitting opposite her with a smile on her face. Ibuki had an ugly look on his face but was eating his food in small bites obediently.

It seems that Tianyin did not do anything excessive to Ibuki, but Ibuki was so well-behaved that even Shiina, who had a good relationship with her, saw her for the first time and couldn't help feeling a little curious.

While Shiina was still immersed in observing Ibuki, Amane proposed that she wanted to ask Shiina's opinion on the rumors about Ichinose.

"Tianyin, you actually care about this kind of news? I thought..."

Shiina seemed to be hesitant to talk, and his eyes were secretly observing Amane's expression, as cute as a peeping little animal.

It has to be said that Shiina is definitely the smartest girl Amane has ever seen, no doubt about it. The others may rely on their innate wisdom or seasoned experience to participate in interpersonal communication.

Shiina relies on something almost instinctive, which is also a kind of talent. Moreover, unlike Karuizawa's acquired cleverness of pleasing personality, Shiina gives people a more agile feeling.

"You thought Ichinose and I had a bad relationship, didn't you?"

Tianyin finished the rest of Shiina's sentence. She knew that if she didn't express her relationship with Ichinose, Shiina would never be able to tell Tianyin her true thoughts.

After Tianyin expressed her opinion, Shiina was obviously much more relaxed, and even her body was no longer tense.

"I'm sorry, but there's nothing we can do about it. I saw you guys fighting so hard with Class B before, and I thought you and Ichinose would also have to make your stance clear due to class relationships."

Some members of each class will choose to build good relationships with students from other classes, but this situation is almost unimaginable for class leaders.

The class leader must have his or her own firm stance. Even if he or she has a good personal relationship with students from other classes, he or she cannot show it in front of everyone. This will often lead to some very awkward situations, and it will appear that every class leader is a very arrogant type. Only Ichinose is an exception. Therefore, when such a situation happened to her, except for Amane and the people in her own class, no other class was willing to intervene and investigate the matter.
