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

"Everyone, the challenge for Class B is different from the normal challenge. To complete the challenge, one boy and one girl must participate at the same time."

Upon hearing Majima-sensei's words, Sakayanagi smiled even more brightly.

This means that Kushida did not provide her with false information. In that case, Kushida might help her during the exam. Even if Kushida doesn't help, he will probably give her some leeway.

Their chances of winning suddenly increased by several percent.

Kamuro turned back to look at Sakayanagi with a puzzled expression. After thinking for a moment, Sakayanagi finally chose Satoshi Rinaka, who was not only quite capable and intelligent among the boys but also considered the most handsome of the first-year boys, as Kamuro's partner.

"Rinaka-kun, I'm leaving this challenge to you. Kamuro's abilities aren't enough to succeed, so I hope you can assist her as much as possible. Do you understand what I mean?"

Sakayanagi gently offered his instructions.

Satoka's abilities and reputation far surpass Kamuro's, so he is likely to take the lead in the challenge. Therefore, Sakayanagi had to give him some advice, hoping that he would temporarily obey Kamuro's orders and arrangements.

"Don't worry, Sakayanagi-san, I'll follow Kamuro-san's instructions. However... I have a feeling that Class B is up to no good, and our chances of failing as the first group are still quite high."

Richu naturally understood Sakayanagi's implied meaning, but if he wanted Sakayanagi to follow his arrangements, he had to agree to his request.

Most of the first challengers end up failing, and Richu was afraid that Sakayanagi would use this as an excuse to cause him trouble later, so he wanted Sakayanagi to make a guarantee in advance that he would not be held responsible if he failed.

After all, compared to a trusted confidant like Kamuro, if anything goes wrong, he'll definitely be the one to take the blame.

"I know, I never expected you to pass the challenge on your first try, so please don't worry, just go ahead and take on the challenge with confidence."

"I'm relieved to hear you say that, Arisaka Yanagi-san."

With Sakayanagi's assurance, Richu seemed much more relaxed and quickly followed Kamuro as he entered the room.

The challenge value for Class B was originally 181.2 class points, but Tianyin thought that calculating the class points would be a bit troublesome, so they directly increased it to 200 points.

The challenge fee naturally increased to 20 class points per person, which is cheaper than the challenge fee for Class A, but is still quite expensive.

Sakayanagi even suspected that the reason why Amane set the rule of two people participating in the challenge at a time was to harvest points as quickly as possible, so that even if they failed, the challenge fee could make up for some of the lost class points.

Two people participate in the challenge at a time, and the challenge fee for each group is a hefty 40 class points. As long as Horikita can defend against the five groups of challenges from Class A, they can declare victory, because even if Sakayanagi wins the challenge in the end, he will not gain any class points. For Class A, if they do not gain any class points in this special exam, then they have lost out.

Therefore, Sakayanagi's expectation was to test two or three groups, so as to as much as possible Horikita's strengths and weaknesses.

The reason why Sakayanagi arranged for Kamuro and Satonaka to lead the charge was not random. Although Kamuro's abilities are average, this is also her strength. Because Kamuro's abilities are too average, it is said that she is average. This also means that it is difficult for Horikita to find any loopholes in Kamuro.

Although Richu is somewhat arrogant, his strength is truly outstanding. Even compared to Hirata from Class B, he is slightly better. So even if Horikita sets some difficult questions, Richu should always have a way to solve them.

In other words, the combination of Kamuro and Sato was a special test to test whether Horikita's challenge was a 'normal' one.

Normally, they could probably have ended the challenge with just Li Zhong; their team only fails when faced with unreasonable circumstances.

This way, she can be mentally prepared.

inside the room.

Kamuro looked at Horikita and Kushida sitting in front of her, along with the notes, chess pieces, and blindfold placed beside them, and still couldn't guess what kind of difficult problem Horikita was planning to give her.

Horikita's demeanor didn't seem like a simple question-and-answer session, so Kamuro immediately looked at Majima-sensei.

"Ms. Mashima, is there anything wrong with the content of their exam?"

At first, Majima-sensei also felt that Horikita's explanation of the exam content was somewhat unreasonable, but with Amane's guidance, Horikita insisted that it was just a special question-and-answer exam, only with some props added, and the final result would still be determined by the question-and-answer session.

After pausing for a long time, Ms. Majima finally agreed to Horikita's challenge.

After all, such a cunning argument is indeed correct. As the supervisor, he can only judge whether the challenge content violates the rules, but he has no right to question whether the challenge content is reasonable or unreasonable.

"Although it's a bit unusual, Horikita-san's challenge did not violate the exam rules."

"Huh? This isn't considered a violation?"

Kamuro expressed his doubts directly.

Faced with Kamuro's questioning, Majima-sensei could only shrug helplessly. Kids these days are playing some tricks, and he didn't have any good solutions. He could only pray that Kamuro and Sato would have good luck.

That's right, let them fend for themselves.

In Majima-sensei's opinion, Class B's challenge was indeed formidable. It was estimated that only Sakayanagi from Class A could solve it, especially since Miyako Amane was not present.

If Class B had left a few top students here, this challenge would probably have been recorded as a classic moment by the school.

"Hello, I am Horikita Suzune from Class 1-B, and this is my assistant, Kushida Kikyo."

"Humph."

Kushida let out a cold snort filled with disgust.

"Kushida-kun, what do you mean by this?"

"Sorry, I just have a slight cold recently, and my nose is a bit stuffy."

The two looked like they were about to start off on a very tense standoff.

Kamuro and Richu exchanged a glance.

They never expected that Class B would arrange for two people with conflicts to be partners. Wasn't this a godsend?

With enough luck, maybe the two of them alone could overcome Class B's challenge, and then...

"Hey, can you hurry up and tell me the rules? I haven't even had breakfast yet."

Kamuro deliberately diverted Horikita's attention, causing Horikita to temporarily abandon her targeting of Kushida.

"The rules for this challenge are very simple: guess black or white. One of you will be blindfolded and sit here, while the other person sits and watches. The blindfolded person will choose a piece from my left and right hands. I will then give you the piece, and you will show it to your partner. Your partner will then tell you what color it is, and finally, you will answer me."

Horikita explained the rules very smoothly.

After hearing the rules, the two of them widened their eyes, as if they couldn't believe that such a challenge could be so simple. Wouldn't it be like the class points were given away for free?

"Horikita, are you kidding me? Your challenge is so easy? You're seriously underestimating Class A!"

Kamuro asked tentatively, somewhat suspiciously.

"Of course it's not that simple. Kushida will also be participating in this special exam. Like your partner, she won't be blindfolded. At the same time, your partner and Kushida will draw lots. These little slips of paper have 'Truth' and 'Lies' written on them. The person who draws 'Truth' can only tell the truth when you ask them a question, and the person who draws 'Lies' can only lie when you ask them a question. Before I ask you whether the piece is white or black, you can only ask each of them one question. Do you understand?"

Kamuro's face turned deathly pale in an instant.

Even if she were incredibly slow-witted, she could still sense how difficult this exam was.

The middle-aged man standing nearby immediately changed his expression. This kind of test was simply not a test of a high school student's mental fortitude.

"What's wrong? Our challenge is very simple, isn't it? All you need to do is answer whether the piece in your hand is black or white. Even if you guess, you'll have a 50% chance."

Yes, it is indeed very simple, and the probability of answering correctly is indeed as high as 50%.

Compared to the challenges faced by Class A, the challenges faced by Class B seem like child's play.

The problem is that Class A's challenge can be overcome by the challenger's thinking and use of logic to find the correct way to pass the level.

The test-taking strategies in Class B are completely useless; the only way to pass is to gamble!

Of the two people giving answers to the blindfolded challenger, one gave the correct answer and the other gave the wrong answer.

If only one person provides the answer, the blindfolded challenger might be able to consider whether the other person's answer is right or wrong. But now that two people are providing answers at the same time, it means there is no way to determine who is telling the truth and who is lying.

Because you need to know what color the piece he tells you is.

When people are presented with two answers and cannot make a judgment immediately, they will subconsciously want to rely on familiar people. In other words, if Kamuro is blindfolded, he will most likely refer to Riku's answer. But what if Riku draws a lie?

"Ugh, is your challenge really not against the rules? This doesn't feel like a question-and-answer challenge at all!"

"How can it not be? We were just asking you whether the chess piece is white or black, weren't we?"

Horikita handed the blindfold to Kamuro.

"The challenge begins!"

……

Seeing Matsushita leave dejectedly from the other side, Amane judged that the challenge question from Class A should not involve common sense for girls, so she decided to let Hirata go up and test it out.

I originally thought Hirata would last longer, but he left the room after only about three minutes, so it seems he failed the challenge.

The connection failure did not affect Tianyin.

Because whether it's Matsushita or Hirata, their biggest task is actually to help her clear the mines.

As long as it doesn't involve common sense, Tianyin isn't afraid of any problem from Class A.

However, just to be on the safe side, Amane still planned to have Ichinose test the waters again.

Before going in, Ichinose patted her cheeks to encourage herself, but it didn't seem to help her at all.

Ichinose stayed for about five minutes before leaving the room.

This shows that Class A did not prepare any strange or obscure common sense questions.

Ichinose shares a similar hobby with Shiina: reading. However, unlike Shiina's preference for literary books, Ichinose reads strange and obscure things. Rather than reading books, she prefers tales of the strange and gossip.

Therefore, Ichinose is obviously not as professional as Shiina in terms of the depth of knowledge, but when it comes to the breadth of knowledge, even Shiina is probably not as knowledgeable as Ichinose.

But even Ichinose was defeated, which is enough to show that the other party did not seem to have put in enough effort on common sense or some strange knowledge.

Tianyin roughly deduced that the exam content for Class A probably had little to do with the amount of knowledge they had, so it should basically be questions related to logic or philosophy.

Both of these are areas that Amane excels at, so after seeing Ichinose fail, Amane confidently walked into the room.

What? Why not let Ayanokouji give it a try?

Amane wouldn't give Ayanokouji something like that, something that would allow him to show off.

However, Amane's explanation to Ayanokouji was...

"Next, I'll challenge Class A. I'm leaving the rest of the teams to you. If I fail, it's all up to you, Ayanokouji-kun!"

After entrusting the team to Ayanokouji with a serious expression, Amane entered the room alone.

"Hey? Tianyin, what are you doing here?"

The Fukuyama sisters both stood up in surprise upon seeing Amane.

"This time, I'm leading the team to take on this challenge..."

"It's been so long since I've seen Tianyin. I never expected to meet you here."

"Hmph~ You big bad guy, my sister and I miss you so much. You don't even text us usually. My sister has been staring at her phone all day lately, looking like she's lovesick."

"Ren! What nonsense are you talking about! I, I didn't do that... Besides, aren't you always complaining that Tianyin doesn't message you? I said I'd go find her with you, but you were too scared to knock on the door!"

"Silly sister!! Don't tell outsiders about such embarrassing things!"

Watching the sisters start arguing over Tianyin.

Teacher Chaba silently pointed to himself.

"So... I'm the outsider, right?"

……

After a brief period of chaos, the room finally returned to its previous calm.

However, something was a little different. Fukuyama Shinobu hugged Amane's waist and buried his head in Amane's arms, rubbing against her.

Fukuyama Shishou watched with some envy as his younger sister could be so unrestrained and reckless, while he could only hold Tenon's hand.

But if she were to act as boldly and recklessly as her younger sister, she would be a little hesitant.

Meanwhile, Amane, sitting in the middle, was surrounded by women on either side of her while staring at the disgruntled Chabashira-sensei.

"By the way, Tianyin, did you see the Valentine's Day gift I gave you last time?"

Fukuyama Shishou blushed and asked cautiously.

"Are you talking about those gloves? I really like them, but it's warm lately so I haven't worn them. I'll wear them when it gets colder. Hmm... I don't really have anything to give in return, so I'll just give you a kiss~"

"Huh?! I want a gift in return! Why is it that you only give a gift to my sister, Tianyin? I put a lot of effort into making my Valentine's Day chocolate!"

"Oh, I almost forgot about Shinobu! Shinobu has one too, mua~"

"Are you guys ever going to stop?! Get back to the normal exam! Or I'll just give you all zeros!"

Finally, the teacher, Chabashira, who could no longer bear it, roared angrily, unable to swallow any of this dog food.

The Fukuyama sisters, somewhat resentful after being criticized by Teacher Chabashira, left Amane's side and sat opposite her, thoughtfully explaining the rules to her again.

"Isn't this simple? How did Ichinose and the others lose? If you're ready, I'll start asking..."

Chapter 173: The Eerie Heavenly Sound (6K)

After hearing that the challenge was very simple, the Fukuyama sisters exchanged a glance and smiled.

They believed that Amane was very capable, but if this question were really that simple, Sakayanagi certainly wouldn't have used it as the trump card for this special exam.
