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

Amane originally thought that Ichinose would name a student she wasn't very familiar with, since even with OAA, it was impossible to convert students' hobbies and past experiences into ability values ​​or mark them on their files.

Putting aside the fact that these are all matters of personal privacy, the fact that there are over a hundred second-year students but less than thirty of them are actually active in special exams shows that the vast majority of students are inclined to give up.

Many people enjoy their campus life with the idea that as long as they are careful and don't get expelled, that's enough. Under the influence of this environment, some people with special talents or valuable experiences would rather blend into the crowd than be forced to join the special exam.

Therefore, it's not incomprehensible that every class has one or two outstanding students who slip through the net.

No matter how Amane thought about it, she never expected that Ichinose would recommend a character that Amane knew all too well.

Ryuji Kanzaki, the class leader of Class D in the second year, is one of the rivals. Although his abilities are average, more than enough compared to ordinary people, he is somewhat powerless as a competitor of Amane. He is a typical person who is neither good nor bad.

Amane was naturally very familiar with Kanzaki's abilities, but she never expected that Kanzaki would have such a hidden talent in architecture. Did Kanzaki, as a high school student, really have such abilities or experience?

"Kansaki? It's a bit of a surprise, but we can give him a try."

Amane's greatest strength is that she listens to advice and is willing to delegate authority. Kanzaki performed terribly in class struggles and special exams, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was completely defeated. However, Amane is not a student in their Class D and has never had any private contact with Kanzaki. Naturally, she could not know whether Kanzaki had any experience or talent in architecture.

However, she was willing to trust Ichinose. Since Ichinose was so confident in her recommendation, the probability of its feasibility was 50%. With a 50% chance of success, Amane thought it was worth a try. Rather than risk creating a 90% flawed product with a 100% probability and facing a 50% chance of being rejected and having to redo it, Amane preferred to gamble on the 50% probability that Kanzaki could complete this important task.

Amane also planned to hand over the command of building the granary to Kanzaki after he proved that he was indeed capable. Professionals doing professional work would make things more efficient, and maximizing efficiency and benefits was the unchanging pursuit in Amane's philosophy.

"Huh?"

Amane's overly quick agreement surprised Ichinose.

"Fanbo, why do you look so surprised? Did you think I would refuse your offer?"

Ichinose blushed as Amane exposed her thoughts.

"Hmm... I thought you, Amane, would have some opinion about Kanzaki-san, after all... Kanzaki-san and you, Amane, didn't get along very well before."

Ichinose is certain that Kanzaki can help Amane with the construction of the granary, but she is also worried that Amane may have developed a rift with Kanzaki because of his extremely bad attitude towards her in the past. If Amane refuses to let Kanzaki try because of the past... not only will Kanzaki's talent not be properly utilized, but it will also make Amane unhappy and waste everyone's time.

So Ichinose was a little worried when she made the suggestion, but her worries disappeared after seeing Amane agree immediately.

“It’s normal for everyone to fight for their own class in the special exam. How could I hold a grudge against someone because of something like that? I’m not that petty. But there’s another reason why I was willing to let Kanzaki try.”

Amane's words successfully piqued Ichinose's curiosity.

"what reason?"

Ichinose peeked out cutely, looking at Amane with expectant eyes.

"Come closer, I can only tell you quietly."

"Mmm~"

Ichinose brought her lips close to Amane's, and her ears twitched cutely as she listened more attentively.

"The other most important reason is—I believe in you, Honami!"

"Whoa! Tianyin, why are you suddenly saying such cunning things..."

"There's something even more cunning~ mua~"

Before Ichinose could create distance between them, Amane quickly smacked Ichinose's face.

"Hey!! Amane!! Hmph! You always bully me. I'm going to tell Sakayanagi-san when we get back!"

Ichinose, blushing, pretended to be angry and poked Amane's cheek to threaten her.

However, while Ichinose seemed to be playing around with Amane, she was secretly observing Horikita's expression out of the corner of her eye.

Ichinose's threat to Amane just now was that he would go and tattle on the matter to Sakayanagi instead of letting Horikita handle it. Ichinose was testing Horikita's reaction with this clear stance of taking sides.

Ichinose didn't believe that Horikita's long silence meant he had truly given up on competing with Sakayanagi for the most important position in Amane's heart.

As for the reason... it's probably because once you experience something, you want more, and love is no exception. After all, people are greedy.

As expected, Horikita's attention was drawn to it.

"Now is not the time for fooling around. Since Kanzaki-kun is good at building granaries, Ichinose, could you please invite him over?"

Horikita's counterattack caused a barely perceptible glint of joy to flash in Ichinose's eyes. As long as Horikita hadn't given up competing with Sakayanagi, she still had a chance to reap the benefits.

However, Horikita's counterattack was quite ruthless, having Ichinose, who had been abandoned by Class D, invite Kanzaki for help.

It would be mostly awkward if the two met, but that's not a problem for Ichinose.

Ichinose smiled brightly and patted his chest.

"Leave this to me, I'll definitely invite Kanzaki-san over!"

As the giant object swayed, Tianyin's eyes seemed to be drawn to it like a magnet.

"Why do I feel like you've grown a bit more, Fanbo?"

Ichinose felt a little smug at Amane's gaze, but her expression turned into one of resentment.

"My birthday has already passed, and I'm a year older now."

Ichinose pretended not to understand, and her face showed an expression that matched the image of a pure and innocent high school girl.

"I wasn't talking about age, I was talking about breasts!"

"Hey! Tianyin!! Seriously, you're always bullying me! Come to think of it, I do feel like I've gotten a bit older... but maybe it's just increased fat. Looks like I need to start losing weight and getting fit. I heard you're pretty good at fitness, Tianyin, could you give me some pointers tonight? I'm afraid that doing fitness haphazardly might hurt my body~"

Amane originally wanted to say that Ichinose's reminder was completely different from losing weight. Although she looked a little chubby than before, it made Ichinose look much cuter.

But just when Ichinose was hoping that Amane would teach her how to exercise and lose weight, Amane immediately changed her mind.

Tianyin isn't stupid; if she couldn't understand such an obvious hint, she would have been weaned long ago.

"No problem! Leave it to me! I really love working out, and I'm a master-level coach in this field!"

"That's wonderful! I'll leave tonight in Tianyin's care!"

After Ichinose finished speaking, she happily jogged towards the direction where Class D was gathering.

Horikita and Ichinose watched their performance with cold indifference.

"Amane, why did Ichinose suddenly become so enthusiastic?"

If Ichinose were still here, he would definitely be speechless from Horikita's words.

Because this kind of competition is a clandestine, behind-the-scenes struggle, Horikita actually broke the rules and directly asked Amane for her opinion.

This is no different from tattling; it's a reasonable but disgusting thing to do.

"I'm not quite sure either. Fanbo was perfectly fine this morning."

"Have you gone to see Ichinose a few times recently?"

several times?

Tianyin started counting on her fingers, and then she came to a conclusion that made her break out in a cold sweat.

Tianyin slowly extended three fingers.

"Three times? Although it's not a lot, it shouldn't make you that thirsty. Are you sure you're with Ichinose three days a week? If it's just playing games, that doesn't count!"

Horikita openly and boldly discussed the private lives of Amane and Ichinose.

"This isn't just for one week..."

"What? Only three times a month? I thought with her breasts, you two had been having sex for a long time."

"No, no, that's not true! Besides, I'm a person of impeccable morals..."

"Sigh, there are more and more shameless people these days. I just heard someone who can't get up for a morning run even once a year actually have the nerve to say that he likes fitness and exercise."

Horikita's mischievous gaze made Amane blush.

"I clearly got up early once..."

"Is that what you call getting up early? It's clearly you who saw me coming back from my morning run in my workout clothes and got lustful..."

"Ahem, oh! Kanzaki-san is coming right away. As expected of Ichinose. Hmm? Suzune, what did you say just now?"

Looking into Amane's innocent big eyes, Horikita rolled her eyes at Amane and then tactfully walked away. She was now mainly responsible for miscellaneous tasks that required mobilization in the class, such as voluntary activities and notices and precautions that Chabashira-sensei needed to issue.

Aside from that, they rarely interfered with Tianyin's arrangements for the special exams.

Currently, Hirata and Ichinose are in charge of resolving conflicts and disputes between the boys and girls, respectively. Katsuragi, as the "bad cop," is responsible for maintaining class discipline as well as serving as the academic representative, and is usually responsible for urging students to study.

The main person Katsuragi was Amane. Katsuragi believed that Amane sleeping in class and studying was an absolutely bad habit that would set a bad example for others. So Amane would reflect on herself for a second and then fall asleep again. Every time, this would infuriate Katsuragi. Until later, Katsuragi somehow persuaded Karuizawa. Under Karuizawa's supervision, Amane finally changed from sleeping on her desk to using her lap as a pillow.

Ge Cheng, who served as both the study committee member and discipline committee member, had essentially given up on Tianyin.

In addition, Horikita was responsible for mobilizing students to actively participate in school and student council booths.

Panasonic is responsible for communication between Class A and the student council, as well as managing the class's public assets. Every month, everyone contributes a certain number of points to serve as public assets for use when hosting banquets and going out together. These points are always managed by Panasonic.

It can be said that several key students in the class are actively involved in class management, which is why Tianyin lives a lazy life all day long.

"Amane, I've successfully brought Kanzaki-kun here."

Ichinose pointed to Kanzaki behind him, as if seeking credit.

"Miyako, is there something you need from me?"

Kanzaki's question made Amane frown slightly.

"Didn't Fanbo tell you why he asked you to come?"

"Ichinose did tell me the reason, but... Miyako, is this how you ask for a favor?"

Kanzaki was a little surprised to see that Amane didn't seem anxious at all when she encountered trouble. He had heard from Ichinose that the instructors had ordered the wooden house, which was to be used as a granary, to be built by tonight. To be honest, even if they worked overtime, they might not be able to catch up with the schedule. Every minute and second should be precious for second-year students.

Why is it that when it comes to Amane, she looks so relaxed, as if Kanzaki is more anxious than she is?

"Assuming others are more polite, that's only if you can demonstrate abilities that satisfy me. So, can you do that?"

Amane casually tossed the blueprints to Kanzaki, who instinctively picked them up and began to look at them.

His eyes would occasionally glance at the mountain of materials piled up to the side.

The blueprints were very simple for Kanzaki, a basic introductory design. It wasn't difficult for him, given his work experience. The only problem was that the materials seemed a bit lacking and he might need to get some more.

But none of these are the most important things. The most important thing is that Tianyin's attitude of not taking him seriously annoyed him.

"What? You can't do it?"

"Of course! Now, Miyako, can you show your sincerity?"

"Is this sincerity? Let me think... I hereby appoint you as the chief supervisor of the cabin construction, and all the second-year students, including myself, will be under your command. Is that acceptable?"

Kanzaki was stunned by Amane's arrangement. Putting aside the fact that Amane's attitude made Kanzaki feel that she was being perfunctory, the fact that she was asked to take charge of the entire second year made Kanzaki feel like Amane was joking with him.

You should know that Kanzaki's dream was to lead his class to become the leader of the entire second year, but that was all he wanted to do. He didn't even dare to imagine himself being a leader like Nagumo, who dominated the entire grade. Let alone being like Amane, who could casually hand over more than a hundred students from four classes to him. This was the first time Kanzaki had ever encountered such a situation.

"Miyako-kun, are you sure you're not joking with me?"

Kanzaki ultimately couldn't resist confirming with Amane.

"Do I look like someone who has time to joke with you? If you can understand the blueprints, then get started. Stop wasting time arguing here."

"But will students from other classes be willing to follow my instructions?"

Kanzaki didn't find the work too difficult, but leading others was not an easy task for him. Kanzaki also knew that he wasn't highly regarded by others, and without the ability and achievements to convince them, he couldn't control the troublemakers in other classes.

"Huh? You're worried about something so trivial? They just handed over command of the class to me. Now I'm in charge of the entire second grade. I'm appointing you to direct the construction work. Any more questions?"

Amane's domineering statement that she was now in charge of the entire second grade made Kanzaki extremely envious. This was something he had always dreamed of achieving, but a girl had actually done it.

However, if someone with Tianyin's strength can't do it, then she's not qualified to be the leader of the second year.

"No problem."

"No problems, then let's get started! All second-year students, gather here now!"

Tianyin clapped her hands and gave instructions to the second-year students. The students, who had been scattered, immediately surrounded Tianyin when they saw her beckoning and waited for her instructions.

"Let me explain first that this construction work is under the full command of Ryuji Kanzaki from Class 2-D. Everyone must unconditionally obey Kanzaki-kun's orders."

Amane issued the order in a stern tone that brooked no refusal, and this overly forceful attitude made Kanzaki, who was standing next to her, break out in a cold sweat.

Tianyin's strength is beyond doubt, and no one finds it problematic that she uses such a commanding tone with others.

But this time, it was Kanzaki Ryuji who was in charge. If everyone was afraid to get angry at Amane, would they tolerate Kanzaki?

Kanzaki suddenly felt a headache coming on.

"It is a great honor to be in charge this time. I will now arrange the construction plan..."

Logically speaking, the first thing to do when building a granary is to select a site and start laying the foundation. However, the school provided a semi-finished product from the start. The location was fixed and there was no need to worry about the foundation. So Kanzaki started the specific planning directly.

The construction of the outer framework was the responsibility of Class A. Horikita led the girls and some boys to be in charge of the basic framework of the first floor, while Hirata led the boys to install the beams and columns according to Kanzaki's instructions.
