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

Has Class D become so abstract without Ichinose leading it?

Chapter 140: I gave you a chance, but you didn't know how to use it.

Ichinose is facing a new problem. This time, Ninomiya's approach can be described as 'upright and honorable,' although it doesn't look very honorable. However, it is much better than some underhanded methods that become a hindrance.

However, neither Amane nor Ichinose believed that Ninomiya would obediently participate in the relay race tomorrow. After all... she had done something like forcing Ichinose, and if this special exam couldn't get Ichinose to drop out of school, her position would become very dangerous if Kanzaki and Shibata changed their minds.

Therefore, tomorrow is the most crucial moment for Ninomiya. If Amane's guess is correct, Ninomiya should have made two preparations. On the one hand, he should reduce the number of members to make the average score of his group lower than that of other groups, so as to get a relatively lower ranking.

Secondly, they deliberately delayed the relay race so that Ichinose's team would come in last place. As for the written test, Zen, and speech, it goes without saying that they would definitely team up to fail or get extremely low scores.

This makes it almost certain that Ichinose's group will come in last place.

According to the regulations, the group leader who ranks last in the group needs to be expelled from school, but if the group leader's performance is extremely bad, the group leader also needs to be expelled.

In this way, Ichinose is likely doomed.

“What Ninomiya said is indeed a problem. The other special exams tomorrow are manageable, but the relay race… requires at least four people to complete the basic 1.2 kilometers and also share the distance that the others who can’t participate need to run. I can take one spot, and Amane should be fine too… So there are two spots left, Ninomiya, what do you think…”

Ichinose looked at Ninomiya. Clearly, whether from a fairness perspective or from other perspectives, Ninomiya would have to put in some effort for the remaining two spots.

There were only four spots that needed to be shared. It was reasonable for Ichinose and Amane to each take one spot, and for Ninomiya and the remaining eight people to share the other two spots.

But as soon as Ichinose spoke, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.

The people who had just been watching Ninomiya and Ichinose's conversation were either looking up at the ceiling or sleeping with their eyes closed. Even Ninomiya seemed to be pretending not to see it.

This scene even made the usually good-natured Ichinose question Ninomiya and the others.

"What do you mean by this? Can't you even gather two people out of nine who can run an extra 1.2 kilometers?"

Faced with Ichinose's questioning, everyone deliberately avoided eye contact, and Ichinose didn't bother arguing with them, looking directly at Ninomiya.

Seeing that Ichinose had completely abandoned all pretense, Ninomiya decided to give up pretending altogether.

"That's right, we really can't find anyone who can run an extra 1.2 kilometers."

Upon hearing this, Ichinose immediately threw off the covers, got out of bed, and went to Ninomiya's bedside.

"Ninomiya, don't go too far! Amane and I have each carried 1.2 kilometers, and besides... do you really think I don't know what Ando and the others are planning to do by inviting me up the mountain? Ninomiya... do you really think Ichinose Honami is a fool? I can forgive Ando and the others for their actions, but whatever you want to do, you have to finish the relay race! This isn't just for me, it's for our team, and it's for everyone else in the whole group! You'd better think about the consequences first."

Ichinose's stern rebuke caused Ninomiya's expression to change drastically.

Ichinose, who is usually gentle, can be so terrifying when she gets angry, which even makes me feel a little scared.

However, Ninomiya completely disregarded Ichinose's warning, believing that Ichinose was simply trying to pressure her by using the second and third-year students.

If it were an ordinary person, they might be scared and choose to compromise, but Ninomiya is a ruthless person who is willing to risk everything to bet with Ichinose on who will drop out of school first, so how could he possibly take any so-called senior seriously?

"Stop trying to scare me. So what if I offended them? Can they kill me or do anything to me? Besides, the third year is about to graduate. When these second-year seniors move up to the third year, do you think they'll dare to gamble that I'll give them some fun before they graduate? Only a piece of trash like Ichinose would keep relying on other people's power to get things done."

"The integration of the class relied on Kanzaki and Shibata's help, and the resistance against Ryuen's attack was the result of everyone's concerted efforts. How much did your inaction on the deserted island and the preferential treatment cause? Do you dare to say that Shibata's failure had nothing to do with you? Before the sports festival, everyone chose to believe in you, but what did you bring to everyone?"

Ninomiya's emotions suddenly surged.

"First, you helped that guy Ryuen and got 20 million item points, but you only borrowed a few million personal points from Miyako. Do you think everyone is stupid?"

"Then, during the final exams, everyone chose to believe in you again, and then what...? Our failure resulted in two million personal points and a promise that was utterly useless? Until now, suddenly they've told us we owe a deficit of several hundred class points. Do you know how much that number is? Even if we graduate, we won't be able to pay it off. Shouldn't you take responsibility for your failure? No one blames you for making the class points a deficit, but as the former class leader, shouldn't you be sensible and obediently drop out of school?"

"At this point, you're still putting up a stubborn resistance. Ichinose, your behavior seems incredibly childish and laughable to me."

Ninomiya's series of questions silenced Ichinose; indeed, Ninomiya was right.

Whether it was about using other people's help to integrate the class or everything that happened later, Ninomiya's account was largely accurate.

But her original intention was still to lead everyone to go further. Unfortunately, the class strength was too different and there were internal rifts. Just when she managed to suppress the internal problems, Kiriyama came out to cause trouble again...

She wasn't given any time to revitalize the game.

Just as Ichinose was wondering how to refute Ninomiya, she suddenly felt a weight on her shoulder.

Looking back, I saw Amane pick up a piece of clothing and drape it over Ichinose's shoulders, while also tidying up her hair that she hadn't had time to style.

"Fanbo, could you please step out for a moment?"

Amane smiled and pinched Ichinose's cheek.

"Tianyin, you..."

"I have something I need to talk to Ninomiya about."

Amane spoke casually, but Ichinose still noticed that something was wrong with her.

If either Sakayanagi or Horikita were here, they would understand that Amane is truly angry.

"You all get out too."

Tianyin was clearly not so polite to other people.

However, since Tianyin said that, some people were naturally unhappy about being kicked out of the house on such a cold day, not to mention that Tianyin was ordering them around so rudely.

"Miyako-kun, what kind of attitude is this?"

Are you trying to bargain with me?

"I... I just felt that even if you wanted to talk to Ninomiya-san, you could go outside to do it. There was no need..."

"Get out! Don't make me repeat myself, my patience is limited."

"you……"

The moment the girl sitting on the lower bunk met Tianyin's eyes, she was so terrified that she couldn't move.

Tianyin was too lazy to explain to her and stretched out a hand.

"5."

"4."

"3."

……

Some people, sensing the danger, hurriedly got off their beds and ran outside. The girl on the lower bunk tried to stand up several times but couldn't. She was finally helped up by another girl named Wangcang and stumbled out of the room.

Amane turned around and glanced at Ichinose.

If it were the Ichinose of the past, no, even the Ichinose of yesterday, she would never have allowed Amane to act so recklessly.

But now Ichinose is completely disappointed with D. Ninomiya and the others.

"Don't make too much of a commotion."

"I see."

Having received Amane's assurance, Ichinose left the room, closing the door behind him.

Only Ninomiya and Amane remained in the room.

Ninomiya completely lacked the composure he displayed during the preferential treatment exam, and also the high spirits he displayed when he angrily rebuked Ichinose.

All that remained was fear.

It wasn't just fear of Tianyin's violence.

It was more of an instinctive fear.

Amane rummaged in her pocket for a while, then tossed the brooch to Ninomiya.

“There’s a short blade inside. Pick it up and kill me.”

Tenon coldly uttered terrifying words to Ninomiya.

Startled, Ninomiya dropped the brooch from his hand onto the blanket.

"Are you kidding me? I get it, you want to get me expelled from school by making me commit a crime, right? You think I'll fall for that? I can't..."

"I'm not joking. Don't you want to avenge your father?"

"..."

Ninomiya looked at the brooch on the blanket.

As Tianyin said, this brooch could indeed kill her, but do they really have such a deep-seated hatred for each other?

some.

Ninomiya's father was a member of parliament who was targeted after he proposed impeaching Masatomi Miyako at a meeting.

He disappeared that very night.

The family, having lost their source of income, immediately fell into panic. Miyako Masatomi never hesitated to bully orphans and widows.

After receiving their master's orders, the pack of hunting dogs began to constantly cause trouble for the family.

In the end, they might even end up on the streets begging.

When Kuninori Miyako learned of this, he asked Rin Fujiwara to provide some financial support to her family. Unfortunately, Ninomiya's missing father could never see her again.

The most ironic thing is that the Ninomiya family knew perfectly well that the Miyako family was behind it, yet they still thanked the Miyako family for their help and shelter.

It was around that time that Ninomiya knelt before Amane like a dog, offering words of blessing and hoping that she would take good care of them in the future.

Kunio Miyako ignored these people and had Amane receive them on his behalf.

That day was also the first time that Amane and Ninomiya met.

The aloof young lady and the beggar girl who had just escaped homelessness formed a stark contrast.

She wanted revenge more than once, but what could she possibly do with her strength?

In fact, her mother had to shamelessly beg the Miyako family to let her come here so that she could attend a good school.

So when Tenon recognized her during the preferential treatment exam, she could only pretend to hate her father in an attempt to avoid conflict with Tenon.

Besides feeling that he was no match for Tianyin, the main reason was that he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for his family.

But when the opportunity for revenge is truly presented to her... how many people can bear the hatred of killing their father?

Even if it has little to do with Tianyin, and Tianyin may not even know what happened back then, just like her, she was an innocent person who was implicated. But shouldn't the son pay for the father's debts?

She dared to say that if she hadn't met Tianyin's father, her fate would have been completely different!

Ninomiya gripped the brooch, and the next second he forcefully stabbed it towards Amane.

"Why did you stop stabbing?"

Tenon glanced at the sharp blade less than three centimeters away from her and asked Ninomiya.

Aren't you scared?

"To be honest, I wasn't scared."

Are you not afraid of the sharp blade in my hand, or are you not afraid of... me?

A bitter smile appeared on Ninomiya's face.

She knew that she had already lost everything the moment she failed to pierce Tianyin's throat.

"I guess so... To be honest, you're not worthy of making me afraid."

"But my knife can kill you!!!"

Ninomiya gripped the brooch again, trying to put some pressure on Amane.

What utterly horrified her was that Tianyin's expression remained unchanged throughout, or rather, Tianyin had no expression at all; that emotionless and expressionless demeanor was so repulsive.

"It seems my words hurt you, but I was just telling the truth. I've stood right here, not moving an inch, yet you lack the courage to kill me. It seems your hatred is nothing more than this..."

"I……"

Snapped! !

The slap was so loud that even those outside the door couldn't help but shudder as it landed hard on Ninomiya's face.

Amane reached out and picked up the brooch, wiped it clean with Ninomiya's school uniform, and then put it away again. After all, this brooch was very important to her. If she lost it... she hoped that the old man had a spare, otherwise her bottom would definitely be spanked.

"I gave you a chance, but you didn't do it."

Tenon glanced at Ninomiya, whose head was tilted to the right and whose eyes were beginning to dim, and then completely lost interest in her.

Perhaps she had her own difficulties, and she also had her own sorrows.

But Amane didn't want to know any of this; she only slapped Ichinose to vent her anger.

Otherwise, she wouldn't even bother to hit Ninomiya.

"Aren't you... afraid of being found out that you used violence against me?"
