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

"Found it! Ahem, this student asked a very good question. This is what a truly attentive student should look like. Being able to promptly spot the missing element in the most important reward and punishment section of the special exam shows that this student is very meticulous! Rewards are the goals you hope to achieve after your hard work! And punishments are the losses you must try your best to avoid. With punishments always present, you can unleash your true potential. With rewards, you have the motivation to strive. Such a simple thing, yet only one student here understands its true meaning. You don't even know what you will get after winning. Then what are you doing in this special exam? I only deliberately left a flaw, and it almost wiped you all out. I'm really disappointed in you."

Fujiwara Mayumi sighed dramatically, and for a moment, many students, both first-year and second-year, lowered their heads in shame.

As Fujiwara Mayumi said, after everyone privately knew what the rewards and punishments were, all their attention was on the rules of the game, and they didn't notice that Fujiwara Mayumi hadn't mentioned anything about rewards and punishments at all.

If this is truly an assessment, then everyone except Tianyin has already been eliminated.

Because almost everyone is now thinking about finding a place to rest as soon as possible, in addition to relieving the fatigue from the bumpy journey, they also want to discuss tactics and allocate personnel as quickly as possible.

For a moment, they completely forgot about the most important thing. If there were no rewards or punishments, why would they even bother taking the special exam? Wouldn't it be better to just go back and enjoy their happy summer vacation?

Thinking of this, everyone lowered their heads. Even Horikita, who was next to Amane, couldn't help but lower her head. She was so focused on recording the competition rules that she forgot about such an important matter. She didn't even confirm the award with the school. It's like not asking about your salary when you go to work.

It's simply incomprehensible.

Seeing the students' ashamed faces, Fujiwara Mayumi smiled inwardly, but outwardly she still shook her head and sighed repeatedly.

Tenon glanced at Fujiwara Mayumi, who was shaking her head and sighing, and occasionally glancing at the students below the stage with a disappointed look. She was not putting on an act at all. Tenon had just seen the panicked expression on Fujiwara Mayumi's face. She had clearly forgotten the most important thing!

How did this turn out to be a test for the students taking the special exam?

Doesn't anyone realize that Fujiwara Mayumi is acting?

"Cough cough."

Chabashira-sensei coughed twice, successfully attracting Fujiwara Mayumi's attention. Chabashira-sensei subtly tapped the watch on her wrist with her finger, hinting to Fujiwara Mayumi that time was almost up.

Fujiwara Mayumi, who was planning to perform a little longer on stage, quickly put away her disappointed expression upon seeing this.

"Although you failed my little test this time, I don't intend to blame you. I just want to remind you that the key to success lies in the details. Next, I will announce the specific details of the reward and punishment."

The rewards for the special survival test are as follows:

1. All students in the grade who win the Survival Special Exam will receive a "Survival Medal". Students who hold this medal are entitled to avoid expulsion once if they are expelled in a special exam that allows for rescue, by paying only 100 million personal points.

2. The remaining special exam points for each class of the winning team will be converted into class points. The specific changes in class points will be based on the actual points announced next month.

3. All students from the winning team who participated in this special exam will be awarded 10 personal points, and the class of the student who persisted to the end will be awarded 50 anonymous personal points.

4. The student with the highest number of defeats, the student who completes the most reward challenges, and the student who captures the most flags will each receive a personal point reward of 100 million points, their class will receive 100 class points, and they will receive a class transfer voucher (valid for one use only, applicable to any student, and free of charge).

5. For each class in the grade of the losing side, one student can be designated to drop out. If the other side chooses to waive the punishment, they will receive personal points equivalent to 300 class points for twelve months (only for the participants).

6. The winning side splits all remaining special points equally among the losing side.

As soon as the rewards were announced, the students, who had been quiet, immediately became excited, and many even started cheering.

"So many personal points and class points! This is amazing!! Even if I get eliminated immediately, I can still get 100,000 points! And I can also get a free class transfer ticket! With this, I have nothing to fear, hahaha. Luckily I came here, otherwise I would have missed this incredible opportunity!"

"If we can save a little, we'll get a huge amount of class points. Even if it's split among four classes, each class will still get several hundred points. So, if we can win this special exam, we'll have a chance to turn things around..."

The students, who originally numbered only a little over a hundred, erupted into a deafening roar of celebration.

Even a composed student like Hirata couldn't help but show a look of joy. He wasn't concerned about the class points or the huge amount of personal points; what he was after was the commemorative medal. With that medal, they would have a way to help their classmates!

For Hirata, being able to save a student from dropping out of school for just one million points was an unimaginable stroke of good fortune. Some students might only be expelled once in three years of schooling, and if they could avoid being expelled once, they could basically stay in the class until graduation.

Furthermore, Hirata believed that if it took 20 million points to save one person, Amane would absolutely not care about the lives of the other ordinary students in Class A. Hirata knew better than anyone that behind Amane's powerful strength lay extremely rational principles of conduct. Even though they had lived together for a year and a half, if those who were only half-related to Amane were to face expulsion, Amane would definitely not care at all. Perhaps this was very cold-blooded, but Hirata was very clear that it was not Amane's fault. No one had the right to ask Amane to do anything. Amane did not owe the class anything, nor did she owe anyone anything. Another key factor that made Amane so indifferent was that the price to pay for saving people was simply too high.

It was so great that even if you gave Hirata points to save someone, let alone Tianyin, Hirata would hesitate.

Amane's assessment of him was that he was a pushover, and Hirata also felt that he was indeed a pushover. But being a pushover did not mean that Hirata would do anything irrational or foolish. Even if he did do something irrational, it would be that he would hope to drop out of school in exchange for the opportunity for others to stay. But when it really came down to choosing someone else, although Hirata thought he didn't have the courage to make such a choice, he was still clear about one thing.

Everyone is equal, but once interests are involved, everyone will have their own price.

If Amane and an ordinary student in the class are both going to be expelled, and Hirata only has 20 million personal points left and has no other way to save everyone, Hirata will give up his right to choose and let someone else use their points to save Amane.

Some might say he's escaping, and Hirata doesn't deny that. He feels he's not qualified to put a price tag on others, so the right thing to do is to let those who can accurately judge each person's value make the choice.

This dilemma will soon be over.

If they can win the championship, it means that half of the class can be saved for one million personal points. Perhaps this number is still not a small number, but compared with the astronomical figure of twenty million points, one million points is already an acceptable number. Hirata believes that if someone with a commemorative badge is expelled, Amane may consider the friendship between classmates and use one million points to save them. At the very least, he can pay the points. Amane will definitely not object to him trying to save his classmates, which is undoubtedly a good thing for Class A.

Hearing the cheers and watching the students chatting excitedly with each other, Fujiwara Mayumi couldn't help but be moved.

She used to think of the principal's position as a troublesome job, but when she actually started working, she realized that she was not just shouldering a position, but the future of countless students.

"Quiet!"

Fujiwara Mayumi's powerful voice swept through the ranks of first and second-year students like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

Holding the microphone, Fujiwara Mayumi first scanned the rows of students in front of each class with her eyes. Only after confirming that no one was making any noise did Fujiwara Mayumi show a satisfied smile.

"You're getting ahead of yourselves. I haven't even mentioned the punishment yet. You little rascals, listen up!"

The penalties for the special survival test are as follows:

1. Deduct all remaining special test points from each class and distribute them equally among the winning classes.

2、失败年级根据各个班级失败时间、剩余特别考试点数等因素对所有班级进行排名，从第一名到第四名分别扣除50、70、100、150点班级点数。

3. All classes of the losing side must participate in a penalty lottery, with penalties drawn from "three months of personal points reset to zero", "three months of class points reset to zero", and "six months of ban on issuing personal points".

Note:

The penalty begins the moment you draw this penalty. Your personal points will be reset to zero after three months. All members of the class will have their existing personal points frozen and cleared for three months. They will not be able to use their personal points for payments and will not receive their monthly personal points. The class points may change.

The class points will be frozen to zero for three months from the moment this penalty is drawn. No matter what activities or special exams the class participates in, it will not increase the class points. Each person's personal points will also be 0 by default. After three months, the freeze will be lifted, and the class points will be allowed to change. If class points are deducted during the freeze period, they will be deducted after the class points are unfrozen.

The six-month ban on personal points begins from the moment this penalty is applied. During this six-month period, you will not receive any personal points from the school. However, your existing personal points and class points can be adjusted normally.

4. You can choose to pay 300 class points in a lump sum to exempt your class from all penalties in this special exam, including expulsion.

Compared to the near-out-of-control situation when they learned of the reward, first and second graders were more accepting of the punishment.

This is similar to the intelligence they obtained privately, and everyone was already mentally prepared.

However, being mentally prepared is one thing, but no one is willing to accept the penalty of losing at least 300 class points. Once such a huge number of points are deducted, the situation will become like it is now in the second year. Classes A and B are still fighting each other by accumulating points, while classes C and D have almost lost all chances of turning the tide. Surpassing the two top classes is no longer just a matter of strength; they also need luck. Although people always say that luck is also a part of strength, seeking luck in this school is somewhat delusional.

Therefore, what you absolutely must avoid is becoming a loser.

After announcing the punishment measures, Fujiwara Mayumi began the final step before the special examination: both sides submitted their lists of "head generals".

That is, the commander-in-chief, similar to a command tower.

All the first-year students focused their attention on Masahiko, but unexpectedly, a girl bypassed Masahiko and came to the platform.

"I am Hayasaka Miyabi from Class 1-B, and I will be serving as the main commander for the first-year students this time."

Amane was slightly surprised that Hayasaka had gone from being a pet to becoming a general of the main camp. She had only heard Hayasaka mention that she might be on the opposite side of Amane and that she hoped to have a proper contest with Amane.

Since the competition wasn't taking place in bed, Amane didn't listen. After all, there were probably thousands, if not tens of thousands, of people who had said similar things to her, but in the end, she had crushed them all. So what if Hayasaka was equally outstanding? Her favorite thing to do, Miyako Amane, was to conquer geniuses.

Unfortunately, it wasn't her who became Hayasaka's opponent this time.

A boy stepped out from the second-grade line, and Baoquan, a first-grader, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw him.

"Hey!! Are you kidding me? Can someone like him really be a commander of the main force?"

The boy on stage seemed to have heard Baoquan's questioning words and let out a cold snort from his nose.

"I'm Ryuu Yuki, from Class C, Grade 2. This time, I'm the main general of the second-year team. Oh, and remember to keep your dogs on a leash this time, don't let them bark or bite anyone, otherwise... I'll let that mad dog Miyako go and give you guys some fun, hahahahahahahaha..."

Chapter 180: Obediently Accept the Late-Night Instructions!

"Hey hey!!! Ryuen, you bastard! How dare you call me a mad dog in front of so many people?! What mad dog is as cute as me? Do you believe I'll tear your mouth off? Waaaaaah... Rin, let me go! I'm going to teach that bastard Ryuen a lesson!!"

"Tianyin, calm down. So many people are watching. If you get disqualified, we'll be at a huge loss."

When Horikita saw that Amane had already rolled up her sleeves and seemed to be really going to punch Ryuen, she quickly gave Ichinose a look. The two of them, quite in sync, grabbed Amane from the left and right, and Horikita also covered Amane's mouth.

After struggling in vain, Amane turned and crashed headfirst into Ichinose's arms.

"Fanbo~ Ryuen said bad things about me!"

"Well... Ryuen-kun probably just wanted to use Amane to scare the other party... Um... Amane, there are still a lot of people watching, could you please stop touching me for now? I'm a little embarrassed..."

Ichinose blushed and whispered to Amane, who was snuggling against her and had subtly bitten her.

Many people around had already turned to look at Amane. After seeing that Amane was actually taking a special exam with two women on her left and right, many first-year students were furious. However, before they could speak, Miyako Masahiko, the strongest first-year student, broke away from the group and walked up to Ichinose.

"Your name is Ichinose Honami, right?"

Masahiko swept his cold gaze over Ichinose.

She is quite pretty in terms of appearance, and Amane-nee's taste has always been good. As for her personality, Ichinose's reputation for being gentle and approachable is something even he, as a first-year student, has heard of. However, after making eye contact with Ichinose, Masahiko couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

This girl appears innocent on the surface, but the wariness in her eyes is too obvious. He has seen too many women like this who don't know how to hide their scheming, and she poses no threat to Arisu-nee at all.

"You must be Jiang Yan? I often hear Tianyin say that you are an outstanding man who is no less than her, and you are also very handsome. Looking at you today, you do look quite like Tianyin, like siblings."

Ichinose's answer made Masahiko's expression improve considerably.

"That's all too kind. Sister Tianyin has always been my role model. There's still a huge gap between me and you, but I will strive to catch up and eventually become..."

"I already told you I don't need your protection anymore."

Amane rubbed against Ichinose's chest a couple of times and rolled her eyes at Masahiko. This silly younger brother of hers was acting like a hot-blooded idiot, always clamoring to become the man who could protect her.

Although Jiang Yan had said he would protect her when they grew up, Tian Yin now doesn't need his protection at all and even feels that he's too much of a third wheel.

"No! I must protect Sister Tianyin!"

"I don't need you to protect me."

"you need to!"

"I do not want!"

"you need to!"

"I do not want!"

"you need to!"

"Okay, I need it!"

"No! You mustn't!..."

Jiang Yan's brain seemed to freeze for a moment.

Tianyin spread her hands and looked at Jiang Yan with an innocent expression.

"Look, you already said I don't need you to protect me. Besides, isn't it normal for an older sister to protect her younger brother?"

"I didn't say that. Tianyin, you deliberately confused me. Besides, it's normal for a younger brother to protect his older sister! That's basic common sense!"

Jiang Yan looked at Tian Yin with unwavering eyes. Tian Yin's gaze softened slightly. When Jiang Yan noticed that Tian Yin's gaze was no longer so firm, he immediately became certain that Tian Yin's deep-rooted belief that everything was important and that her older sister was the most important person was finally about to waver. However, Tian Yin's next words dealt him a complete blow.

"But Jiang Yan, you used to often hide behind me crying and saying, 'Sister Tianyin, someone is bullying me...'"

Tianyin's casual remark made Jiang Yan's face turn completely red.

"That was so many years ago! I'm different now! I have the power to protect you..."

Jiang Yan noticed that some people were looking at him with amusement. Feeling both ashamed and indignant, he quickly tried to change the subject to stop Tian Yin from revealing all his dark history.

If Tianyin were to reveal his secrets, he would lose all face and be unable to lead the first grade in the future.

"But I'm telling the truth. Well, little Masahiko is definitely the cutest. He's become so naughty as he's grown up."

"Ahem, big sister, so many people are listening, can we not talk about the past?"

After a few seconds of resistance, Yan finally gave in and had no choice but to whisper in Tianyin's ear to discuss the matter.

“There’s nothing to be ashamed of. You’re an adult now. You need to learn to face and confront the weak version of yourself you once were. Only by understanding your past weakness can you have enough courage.”

"courage?"

"I heard you told others you were going to defeat me, didn't you?"

Tianyin's ambiguous smile sent chills down Jiang Yan's spine; it was the first time he had ever seen Tianyin with that expression.

It's like a cute and docile raccoon suddenly stretching out its sharp claws at you, revealing its gaping maw that wants to tear you apart and devour you clean, bones and all.

"That was just empty talk to boost morale. I really mean it to you, Sister Tianyin..."

"Miyako Masahiko, I'll give you a chance. If you can defeat me, I'll allow you... um, to be my sidekick and protect me, how about that?"

Tianyin seized the opportunity to present her conditions.

Yan's breathing became heavy for a moment.

Even though he was just a follower, wasn't Tianyin's permission for him to protect others a form of recognition in itself?

The thought that he only needed to win this special exam to gain Tianyin's approval invigorated Jiang Yan, and he couldn't wait to defeat all the second-year students right now.

But after a brief moment of excitement, Yan quickly calmed down. He does tend to get carried away when it comes to things related to Tianyin, but he's not some brainless idiot.
