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

An intimate whisper rang in Horikita's ear, and by the time she came to her senses, Amane had already placed a piece of fish to Horikita's lips.

Horikita, who had instinctively opened her mouth to eat the fish, suddenly snapped back to reality when she realized that all eyes were on her face. This time, it wasn't her dorm room.

"Tianyin, what are you doing! Everyone's watching."

Horikita blushed and glanced at the group of people sitting down.

Seeing this, Yukimura picked up his bowl and started eating rice, while Katsuragi began looking around at the layout of the restaurant. Karuizawa pretended to drink a beverage, but it was obvious that he was secretly watching what was happening. Only Ichinose blinked his beautiful big eyes and stared at Horikita's next move.

"What does it matter? If you're not going to eat it, you can blow on it for me, I'm afraid it'll burn me~"

After Tianyin finished speaking, she rested her chin on her hand, seemingly ready to watch the show. Meeting Tianyin's mischievous gaze, Horikita glared at her fiercely, implying that Tianyin would be in for a beating when she got home that night.

Then Horikita gently blew on the fish, and Amane put it directly into her mouth without any hesitation, a scene that made many people blush.

"Ahem, Miyako-kun, we're out here, you should at least pay attention to your image."

Katsuragi coughed a few times, somewhat awkwardly, as a reminder.

"I'll pay attention next time, Megumi~ I want to eat the tempura in front of you, it looks delicious."

Upon hearing Amane's words, Megumi instinctively picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a fried shrimp, and handed it to Amane. Amane didn't take it with a plate, but instead stood up halfway, seemingly expecting Karuizawa to feed her.

Katsuragi glanced at Hirata, who not only ignored this behavior but had also started searching for terms like 'the most difficult questions for high school students'.

It is clear that Hirata has already begun preparing for the upcoming special exam.

Meanwhile, Karuizawa was about to put the fried shrimp into Amane's mouth when he suddenly remembered something and blew on the shrimp before putting it in Amane's mouth.

Sure enough, the next second Karuizawa received a slightly hostile gaze.

"Hey~ I'm starting to feel like feeding Tianyin too. Tianyin, is there anything you'd like to eat?"

A familiar voice came from the side, and when everyone turned their heads, they found Shiina's cute little head peeking out from the partition and spying on them.

"What good food do you have there, Hiyori?"

Unlike the others whose expressions changed, Tianyin almost immediately went over, and then she saw...

Long Yuan was sitting there with a dark expression, eating an apple.

"Sorry to bother you."

Tianyin immediately pulled her head back; seeing Longyuan or something like that during mealtime would definitely affect her appetite.

"Hey, Hiyori, give this to her and tell her it's a reward from me."

"Huh? Eh eh eh..."

Ryuen casually tossed an apple over, and Shiina frantically tried to catch it, but to her surprise, the apple flew through the air in a beautiful arc and smashed directly into Amane's head.

Click.

Without even raising her head, Tianyin reached out and grabbed the apple, instantly shattering it into pieces that fell onto the dining table.

Tianyin held the largest piece of apple in her hand and slowly applied pressure until the apple flesh turned into a puddle of mud. Then she threw the broken core and the puddle of mud into the trash can next to her.

Horikita silently took out a handkerchief and handed it to Amane. After wiping her hands on it, Amane casually picked up a small orange.

"Please thank Longyuan for the apples. This orange is on me, don't be shy."

Whoosh.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Little Orange brushed against Shiina's hair and hurled herself at Ryuen.

Bang.

Longyuan also caught that little orange.

And after crushing it into tiny pieces, it was thrown aside.

"What? Your oranges aren't sweet at all."

Longyuan also mocked Tianyin with great interest.

"Boss..."

Albert, sitting to the side, couldn't help but speak as he watched Long Yuan's hand tremble incessantly, but was interrupted by Long Yuan's gesture to be quiet.

Fortunately, the two sides couldn't see each other because of the barrier, otherwise Tianyin would definitely have laughed at him.

Seeing the two men who were already at each other's throats upon meeting, Shiina could only awkwardly return to his seat.

The special exams are coming up soon, and it's really not appropriate to greet each other so abruptly at this time, especially since... they're sitting right next to Tianyin and there's no way to explain if they're mistaken for eavesdropping.

Sigh, when will we be able to play together happily without fighting and scheming?

It's probably difficult to achieve that at this school, right?

"What a coincidence, everyone is eating here."

As a more familiar voice came, Tianyin couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

Even she didn't expect to run into so many acquaintances in this small place.

Sakayanagi, along with Kito, Hashimoto, Kamuro, and a group of boys and girls, happened to pass by Amane.

Watching Horikita peel oranges for Amane, Sakayanagi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Heavenly Sound, come!"

Horikita gently placed a small piece of orange to Amane's lips. Amane was torn between eating it and not eating it. In the end, under Horikita's gentle gaze, she ate the orange.

Sakayanagi's gaze immediately turned somewhat unfriendly as she looked at Horikita. At that moment, she wished she could take Horikita's place and feed Amane oranges.

You should know that in the past, feeding Tianyin was a privilege that only she could enjoy!

Just as the two sides were in an awkward situation, a flippant voice broke the tension.

"Hey, isn't this Katsuragi? So, after betraying us and joining Class B, all they give you is this stuff? Tsk tsk, how about considering coming back to Class A? Don't worry, as long as we have something to eat, you'll have some soup to drink. It's much better than eating takoyaki here, hahaha."

Chapter 163: Each with Their Own Hidden agendas

"Hey, isn't this Katsuragi? So, after betraying us and joining Class B, all they give you is this stuff? Tsk tsk, ever thought about coming back to Class A? Don't worry, as long as we have food, you'll have soup too. Eating takoyaki here is way better than this, hahaha."

Such frivolous and provocative words appeared in a place where they should not have.

This statement shocked both Class B and Class A.

What's even more incredible is that both sides were shocked for the same reason.

Because the person who said those words was none other than Katsuragi's biggest supporter back then, and he had even suffered violence from Ryuen on the rooftop. Logically speaking, his relationship with Sakayanagi should have developed an irreparable rift, and it would be absolutely impossible for him to deliberately try to emulate Katsuragi like this today.

Katsuragi's face was already showing anger, but he seemed to have thought of something and frowned as he fell into deep thought.

"Totsuka, what nonsense are you spouting!"

Sakayanagi glared at Totsuka, who had arbitrarily provoked Class B, even though she also wanted to provoke Class B here so that they would suffer some insignificant punishments before even taking the special exam, causing their morale to plummet.

But it's absolutely impossible to provoke the other party in a way like using a user's name.

To others, Katsuragi might be labeled a traitor, but only Sakayanagi knew that Katsuragi was persuaded by Amane to go there. When Katsuragi agreed to Amane's conditions for transferring classes, he gave up everything he had in Class A and completely handed over the entire Class A.

In other words, although Sakayanagi has seemingly lost a key figure like Katsuragi, the departure of Katsuragi, who had previously been her rival, has actually led to Class A becoming more united around her.

She and Ge Cheng were even, but she owed Tian Yin a favor because Tian Yin borrowed the points from her to transfer Ge Cheng to another class. In other words, Tian Yin spent two million points to help her get rid of a major threat, only to get Ge Cheng who was still of unknown use.

So, for both reason and emotion, she wouldn't let Totsuka say such a thing. But the problem is... Totsuka's actions seem suspiciously like she instructed him to do so, and now she can't clear her name no matter what.

After reprimanding Totsuka, Sakayanagi immediately looked at Amane, and sure enough, Amane was also looking at her, clearly believing that Totsuka's provocation was a signal that she was declaring war.

Sakayanagi was eager to speak up and explain, but Totsuka interrupted him.

"We've already agreed to break ties with them, haven't we? Besides, isn't it an undeniable fact that Katsuragi betrayed us and joined Class B? I'm standing up for everyone and maintaining the unity of Class A! If everyone betrays us in the future, Class A might as well just admit defeat. Otherwise, how many people will be left in a class after graduation?"

Totsuka's words immediately choked Sakayanagi.

Sakayanagi tried to speak several times, but could only suppress the urge to defend herself. However, her increasingly unpleasant expression showed that she was on the verge of exploding in rage.

Sakayanagi is in a very bad situation right now. If she doesn't explain, she won't be able to get past Amane. Amane and she have a good relationship, so she probably won't mind. But the problem is that Amane is the leader of Class B now. If someone she spent 20 million points to recruit is ridiculed and doesn't even say a word, who would be willing to follow her?

Amane's gaze just now was enough to explain the problem. If she can't find a way to deal with Totsuka, Amane will definitely have to stand up for Katsuragi. Otherwise, the morale will be low and the team will be difficult to lead.

In theory, this matter is very easy to handle. All you need to do is explain that it was Totsuka's own doing and then hand him over to Amane.

But Sakayanagi couldn't explain, because Totsuka had just said that he was maintaining the unity of Class A. In other words, Totsuka was upholding Sakayanagi Arisu's authority in Class A and was also venting everyone's anger.

If she were to explain, it would be tantamount to admitting that she condones betrayal and would also betray the 'good intentions' of Totsuka and the others.

"Totsuka-kun, don't you think what you said was excessive?"

Hirata was the first person in Class B to stand up.

Although Katsuragi had only been in Class B for a short time, in Hirata's mind, Katsuragi was already a member of Class B. Since he was a member of Class B, Hirata would not allow people from other classes to humiliate Katsuragi in this way.

"What does it have to do with you that there's a traitor in our class? Hirata, even if you want to teach me a lesson, shouldn't it be the person next to me who does it?"

Totsuka gestured with his lip towards the direction where Amane was.

"I think the term 'traitor' is indeed inappropriate."

Even the named Amane had no choice but to stand up for Katsuragi.

Although Amane knew what Totsuka was up to, she didn't want to make things get out of control here.

"If he's not a traitor, then what is he? Katsuragi and the others are already sitting in Class B seats, aren't they?"

"First, you need to understand that the school allows students to choose their class when paying points. In other words, the school is the one earning these points. Totsuka, do you want to guess what would happen if other people gave up on transferring classes because they heard that spending 20 million points to transfer classes would result in them being called traitors? This would cause the school to not receive these points and render the rule meaningless. Who would take responsibility for that?"

The main reason why schools can generously distribute points to students is due to subsidies from above. However, subsidies are subject to limits. The biggest factor for schools to have sufficient funds to cover their expenses is the recycling of points.

The school is naturally happy to see something like transferring classes and getting 20 million points back at once. You know, 20 million points is more than enough to give the entire first grade a month's worth of points.

If a student refuses to use points to transfer classes because they are worried about being accused of being a traitor, it will obviously affect the school's point turnover and have a huge impact on the image of personal points as "able to buy everything".

Even if the school doesn't say anything, if Totsuka can't care about the school's attitude, does that mean the other students in Class A don't care about the school's attitude either?

Amane's indirect pressure on Totsuka has left everyone wondering about the school's attitude and whether the other members of Class A will eliminate this hidden threat.

With just one sentence, the current situation was easily resolved. More important than whether Katsuragi was a traitor was the fact that it was now Totsuka's turn to worry about what his comrades thought of him.

This is also a way for Amane to give Sakayanagi a way out.

Everyone knows that the school may not care what Totsuka said, and there may not be anyone else besides Amane who can accumulate the same number of points.

But what does it matter? It doesn't stop the students in Class A from venting their anger at Totsuka on him.

Previously, Totsuka used the excuse of standing up for everyone to shield himself, leaving all the students in Class A to watch as Totsuka provoked Class B. If the target of his provocation were a weak class like Class D, they would not only not be afraid, but might even add fuel to the fire and help Totsuka.

Unfortunately, they were mocking the class with Amane, whose name brought immense pressure to everyone in Class A.

Everyone in Class A knows just how strong Kito is, but he's no match for Amane. Sakayanagi can defeat Katsuragi with just a little trick, yet he avoids Amane multiple times during the special exams, even though Sakayanagi claims that defeating Amane too early would make the rest of their school life boring.

But the people in Class A aren't stupid. Anyone with normal eyesight could see that Sakayanagi was wary of Amane.

In addition, Tianyin, who was destined to be expelled during the forest exam, somehow managed to reverse her fate as if she possessed magic.

This is something that students in Class A would never even dare to imagine. A school with national backing and a strong emphasis on merit would actually change its rules for the sake of one student.

Such an unbelievable thing actually happened to the person in front of them. They would never believe that Tianyin didn't have a special background.

So much so that the people in Class A didn't even think that Amane's two sentences were half-joking to put pressure on Totsuka, but rather that Amane could really do it.

"Totsuka, let's stop here. Since Katsuragi wants to transfer classes, we should respect his choice. There's no need to make things so tense. After all, we all live on the same campus and see each other all the time. It's not good for anyone to have a bad relationship, is it?"

Seeing that Sakayanagi's expression wasn't good, Hashimoto quickly stepped forward to stand in front of Totsuka to ensure that Totsuka wouldn't say anything that would cause a lot of trouble in a moment of irrationality.

Amane looked at Hashimoto with great interest. According to Horikita, Hashimoto had been in contact with both Ryuen and herself, and seemed to be a rather unruly person. Ryuen even gave Hashimoto a high evaluation, calling him a "bat".

Those who receive praise from Longyuan must have some merit.

Hashimoto's words, seemingly meant to persuade Totsuka, were actually telling everyone that Totsuka's words were entirely his own and had nothing to do with them.

Furthermore, Hashimoto's positioning was quite interesting. There are many ways to stop Totsuka, but Hashimoto chose to stand directly in front of Amane, making it seem as if he was trying to protect the people of Class B.

Such an obvious gesture of goodwill...

Amane glanced at Sakayanagi, who was completely oblivious to Amane's 'hint'. She could no longer tolerate Totsuka's behavior and was now considering how to get rid of this useless and troublesome guy.

"Since even Hashimoto-kun says so, then let's leave it at that... But I will never forgive Katsuragi!"

After saying that, Totsuka strode out of the restaurant.

For a moment, the students in Class A were at a loss and could only look to Sakayanagi for help.

Sakayanagi was so disgusted by Totsuka's prank that she lost her appetite and decided to take the others to another restaurant, otherwise it would be too awkward to sit with Amane.

Just as Sakayanagi passed by Amane, she suddenly felt as if something had been stuffed into her hand.
