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

Wearing a disposable raincoat, Tsubaki Sakura emerged from the rain with trembling legs. Before Tsubaki could speak, the anger on Hirohiko's face vanished completely.

"I have a plan that requires your assistance."

"plan?"

"Take me to find Yagami first. I'll tell you when we get there. Remember, this isn't a discussion, it's... an order."

Jiang Yan's beast-like eyes flickered in the night like sparks igniting the darkness amidst the torrential rain.

After being glanced at by Jiang Yan, Tsubaki Sakurako chose to obey Jiang Yan's orders and led him toward the conference room.

At this moment, the group, completely unaware of the impending crisis, were still attacking each other. Just as Ishigami and Takahashi gained absolute dominance in the conversation, the conference room door was kicked open.

The wooden door, which was originally a dilapidated storage room, was left with only the frame hanging stubbornly on the door after being violently destroyed by Jiang Yan. Its broken body swayed incessantly.

Upon seeing Masahiko, Ishigami and Takahashi both looked as if they had seen a ghost and began shouting. Soon after, many students from Class A surrounded Masahiko. Just as an internal conflict was about to erupt, Masahiko threw his tracksuit on the ground, revealing his incredibly strong and muscular body.

dong dong! !

Jiang Yan pounded his chest with his fist and then shouted loudly at the first-year students in Class A who looked fearful.

"So you're planning to attack the leaders of Class A? Then come on! Let me see what you're made of!"

Jiang Yan's roar echoed throughout the entire first-year stronghold. Upon hearing Jiang Yan's roar, the students who were hiding in the granary to support him rushed to Jiang Yan's side without even bothering to put on their raincoats, ready to be at his command at any time.

Jiang Yan casually pushed aside several people who dared not step forward, and then walked straight toward Takahashi and Ishigami.

Just ten minutes ago, Takahashi and Ishigami were arguing heatedly over a small amount of rope. But when they saw Masahiko walking towards them, they both turned into docile little lambs and lowered their heads deeply to show their obedience.

Yagami's eyelids twitched wildly at the sight. As soon as Jiang Yan returned, he subdued the students of Class 1-A. Tian Ze was not here, and since Tsubaki Sakura was by Jiang Yan's side, it meant that Qi Shang and Kuang Yuan were probably out of the question.

There's no way that he and Utsunomiya could defeat Masahiko on their own.

He couldn't win a fight, and even if he backed down, Yagami might not forgive him for his past betrayal. For a moment, Yagami was in a daze, unsure of what to do.

Jiang Yan noticed that Yagami's expression was a bit off, but he didn't say anything. He first went to his seat in the conference room and sat down, then invited Tsubaki Sakura and Yagami to sit down as well.

"Please sit down, I have something to tell you."

Jiang Yan's mind is now crystal clear. He has realized that failure in the first year is inevitable, and dragging it out any longer is just hoping to make his failure more dignified.

But Jiang Yan didn't need that kind of meaningless delay. In Jiang Yan's view, the first-year students still had a chance to turn the tide, with a chance of winning of about 0.5%. Although it sounded ridiculous, Jiang Yan believed that this was the best way he could find to win after taking all factors into account.

Seeing everyone nervously take their seats, Jiang Yan composed himself, cleared his throat, and began to explain his plan.

"Sister Tianyin already knows very well that you betrayed me, so I don't need to say more. You've all seen the current situation. There's no point in continuing to struggle. The first year has already lost the special exam. Of course, I'm talking about if we do nothing. According to the rules of the special exam, the winning class has the right to expel one person from each of the losing classes. I'm not afraid of that, but it's hard to say about you."

Jiang Yan's words were full of threats, but no one questioned whether what he said was true. With Tianyin's protection and the backing of the Miyako family, it was almost impossible for Miyako Jiang Yan to be expelled from school because of a special exam. Even if someone dared to order Miyako Jiang Yan to be expelled in the second year, there would likely be various unforeseen circumstances that would result in Miyako Jiang Yan remaining unscathed. Putting aside everything else, the fact that Tianyin directly lent Jiang Yan 20 million points was enough to protect him.

For those without connections, once they are forced to drop out of school, they have almost no chance of turning their lives around. The only way to avoid this is to find a way to raise 20 million points.

But just thinking about the incredibly exaggerated number of 20 million was enough to make the class leaders of the first grade smile bitterly.

They might eventually accumulate that number through the class's efforts, but it's definitely not now.

In other words, their expulsion was already inevitable once they lost the special exam.

The person who finds this result the most unacceptable is Yagami.

His mission here was simply to get Ayanokouji to drop out of school, but before he could even have a proper showdown with Ayanokouji, he was eliminated by the special exam that the school had always treated as a game. This was a cruel reality that Yagami, the strongest student in this year's White House, could not accept.

"So what do you want us to do? Since you've gone this far, it means you still have a way, right?"

Yagami spoke urgently.

In his view, the failure of the first year was a foregone conclusion. Since he couldn't think of any way to turn the tide, he could only hope that Jiang Yan could pull off some miraculous miracle.

"Of course, although the success rate is not very high, it is quite high for a 0 that is bound to fail."

Jiang Yan's words brought hope to everyone present. Recognizing the gap in strength is important, but it doesn't mean that we should remain indifferent and wait for our fate when we discover a way to turn the tide.

What are the odds of winning? What do you need us to do?

Without uttering a single wasted word, Yagami directly and concisely asked the question everyone was waiting for, and instantly all eyes were on Masahiko.

"The odds of winning are only 50%, so my plan is... to feign surrender."

Jiang Yan's plan was much simpler than everyone imagined. No one present was a fool; they could guess the general plan just from Jiang Yan's two words.

It has to be said that it is remarkable that they could come up with this plan with a reverse mindset at this time, but... feigning surrender is a skill, can they really do it? And why should they be accepted by others when they go there empty-handed?

In other circumstances, the tactic of feigning surrender might have some room for implementation, but in this special test, the two sides were divided into camps from the beginning, and their goals were the same: to eliminate all members of the other side.

Therefore, there is absolutely no need to keep personnel who are at a disadvantage; they should be eliminated directly to avoid leaving any potential problems.

As for Amaze and Nanase, that was a special case. Everyone knew why Amane accepted them, so no one mentioned it. In the end, all that remained was whether to agree or not.

They agreed, but this trip was fraught with peril. Even the very person who initiated the plan said there was only a 50% chance of success. Going there would be practically suicide. But what could they do if they disagreed? They could only hold out until time ran out and then compare the special points of both sides. The side with more points would win the special exam. This method would undoubtedly save face for the first-year students, but the result would still be incredibly humiliating.

But now, neither Yagami nor Hirohiko wants the final outcome to end in such a humiliating way, so they only have one choice left.

"Jiang Yan, tell me your specific plan."

Yagami's answer almost represented all the other classes except Class 1-A. When everyone saw that Yagami was ready to take a gamble, they could only nod helplessly in agreement.

Now, the power to decide how they are eliminated is entirely in Jiang Yan's hands. It's already quite generous of Jiang Yan to even discuss things with them. If anyone dares to oppose Jiang Yan's plan, Jiang Yan can eliminate them right now and send them back to where they came from, without even waiting for the special exam to end.

"Alright, since everyone is willing to take this gamble with me, I'll go over the plan in detail. First, everyone except Class A of the first year will have to feign surrender to Sister Tianyin. As for the details... it's very simple, just tell the truth. Say that I broke free from my restraints and beat you all into a rout, and that you're afraid of my revenge, so you're going to seek refuge with Sister Tianyin."

“However, if you just go there like this, Sister Tianyin will definitely think that you are not of any use and send you back, or even not see you. So you must bring gifts... such as the right to use all the remaining special points in the first year.”

There are currently 390 special exam points left for the first grade. Although these special points cannot be gifted, if it is used to purchase supplies and give them to Tianyin to reduce the second grade's resource consumption at the last moment and allow them to obtain more class points after victory, Jiang Yan believes that Tianyin will definitely not refuse.

Furthermore, they can use verbal smears and other subtle tactics.

For example, Yagami and the others deliberately suggested not requiring them to drop out of school as a trade request... In that case, even Amane-nee shouldn't be able to find any flaws.

Chapter 221: Games After the Rain

The raindrops pattered against the unique brown bear-shaped tent in the second-year camp, making a dense, pattering sound. Tenon, who was sleeping soundly on the tatami mat covered with a blanket, felt a warm sensation spreading across her chest. Opening her sleepy eyes, she saw an adorable creature, like a puppy, burying its head in her chest and nuzzling her cheek affectionately.

Seemingly noticing that Tianyin had woken up, the little dog raised its head with a joyful expression and looked at Tianyin with its big, watery eyes.

Good morning, Tianyin!

"Good morning……"

Tianyin paused for a moment, blinked, and only realized what was happening after her brain started working again.

"Yi, when did you crawl in?"

"I haven't been here long. When I arrived, all those wicked women had been sleeping here for half the day..."

Nanase pouted and looked at Amane's back with a wronged expression. Only then did Amane notice that there was a koala-like creature clinging to her tightly behind her, and its two fair and tender little legs were even crossed around her waist.

Without even thinking, Tianyin knew that behind her was definitely that little devil Tianze. She guessed that only she and Hui would play this wildly.

but……

If Tianyin remembered correctly, she was sleeping alone at night, so how come there were so many people in her bed when she woke up?

Tianyin was about to wake Tianze and ask her to let go of her when she didn't expect that Tianze was also awake. Before Tianyin could make a move, he stepped in front of her and pressed against her back.

Feeling as if some mollusk had crawled over her back, Tianyin squinted her eyes contentedly, but she quickly regained her senses.

Playing such exciting games so early in the morning could lead to serious trouble!

Good morning, Tianyin~ You must have been very lonely last night without me by your side, right?

"Lonely? You bad woman, it's still daytime! I won't allow you to do anything reckless!"

"Outrageous behavior? Are you talking about me? I seem to remember... I just got here, and then someone walked in and crawled right under the covers without saying a word?"

Tianze's words made Nanase's face flush red with embarrassment. However, she couldn't refute him and could only look at Tianyin with a wronged expression, hoping that Tianyin could teach this bad woman a lesson. Tianyin helplessly patted Nanase's head and then hugged the unsuspecting Tianze, which startled Tianze into letting out a scream. However, the scream only lasted for less than a second before it stopped abruptly.

Nanase looked at Amane, who had already begun to enjoy the pre-dinner dessert, with a hint of jealousy.

Tianze gazed tenderly at Tianyin, who was so close to him, with his honey-gold eyes. Then, following Tianyin's guidance, he continuously adjusted his tone. Before long, Tianze was immersed in that unique rhythm and couldn't help but hum those beautiful syllables.

Seeing this, Nanase felt even more aggrieved and moved closer to the side.

"I was the one who said good morning first, so even if it's a good morning kiss, I should be the first one. Kiss me first!"

Just as Tianze was gradually overwhelmed by Tianyin's love, a familiar voice sounded outside the tent.

"Tianyin, are you awake?"

Before Tianyin could reply, the figure who had asked the question had already slipped into the tent.

"Rin... good morning..."

"Good morning... By the way... are you all so enthusiastic this early in the morning?"

Horikita took off her raincoat and moved aside slightly. Another figure followed her into the tent. Ichinose, who was about to take off her raincoat, blushed bright red when she saw what was inside.

"Rin, I told you I was going to knock on the door."

"Well, who knew that Tianyin was busy bullying her junior classmate early in the morning."

Horikita shrugged, clearly unfazed by the erotic scene before her. She had stumbled upon Tenon's intimate moments countless times, so she was somewhat prepared.

However, this was the first time Ichinose had stumbled upon Amane's group activity, and she instinctively tried to avoid it, but Horikita pulled her back.

"It's raining outside, so you won't have anything to do if you go back. You might as well stay here at Tianyin and wait in line. You'll have something to do later."

Horikita's words caused both Amane and Ichinose to change their expressions.

"Lingyin, you! I just came to check if Tianyin was awake, I... I didn't mean to do anything like that..."

Ichinose offered a frantic explanation, but her eyes were observing the expressions of Amasawa and Nanase.

Although it wasn't the first time Nanase's body had been seen by someone else, she was still a little uncomfortable being seen by Horikita, who had a closer relationship with Amane. So when Ichinose came in, she immediately hid under Amane's blanket with a shy expression, only peeking out her rosy little head to observe the situation.

Tianze, on the other hand, had been given special care by Tianyin for a long time and no longer cared about these things. So even when he saw the two of them come in, he did not feel uncomfortable at all and maintained his previous posture. However, his originally dazed eyes were now extremely serious, as if he was secretly wary of her and Horikita.

Horikita glanced around at everyone in the tent and immediately understood what Ichinose meant. She had been wondering why Ichinose had changed her mind after promising to play some new games with Amane today, and they had even agreed to play rock-paper-scissors to decide who would go first. This left Horikita somewhat puzzled.

Now that Horikita noticed Amasawa's hostile gaze, she understood that Ichinose wanted to tell the two of them, especially Amasawa, that they hadn't come here specifically to compete with her for Amane. Unfortunately, Amasawa didn't seem to appreciate it and didn't show any goodwill. However, all of this had nothing to do with Horikita Suzune.

"Oh, I see. I thought you were here like me, looking for a warm place to kill time."

As Horikita spoke, he began to take off his coat, then walked to Amasawa's side and looked down at him.

"Shouldn't a newcomer have some sense of propriety?"

"Oh? I wonder what kind of tact you expect me to have? You just interrupted my good time. I believe that the principle of knocking before entering someone's home should have been taught by teachers in kindergarten, right?"

Tenze stood up, standing naked face to face with Horikita, his golden eyes suddenly shrinking into vertical pupils that made people feel uneasy and dangerous just by looking at them.

Tianze is like a cat with flamboyant red fur, its fur standing on end and about to pounce on someone.

Horikita sighed softly. She seemed to have seen that expression countless times. It seemed that every newcomer harbored strong hostility towards her. If only these people could bare their teeth at Sakayanagi like that.

Just as Horikita was about to teach the newcomers to respect their seniors, Amane intervened.

With one hand soothing the agitated Tenze, he pinched Horikita's chin with the other and kissed him.

"This is Rin's good morning kiss~"

"Hmph, don't give me that. There's still the taste of other girls in your mouth."

Horikita, who had just been kissed, laughed and pushed Amane away.

"Huh? Really? I think it's fine~ Hehe."

Tenon smiled, then hugged both of them tightly before suddenly lying down on the tatami mat, eliciting gasps from the two women.

After the initial gasp, Tianze was the first to react.

"Master... Senior Tianyin, you really hurt me! I won't forgive you if you don't rub it!"

As Tianze spoke, he grasped Tianyin's hand and pressed it against his chest, then stuck out his tongue and made a face at Tianyin.

Just as Amane was about to start with Tenze, Horikita leaned close to Amane's ear and whispered something.

"I want."

hiss……

The accompanying tingling sensation instantly aroused Amane. Just as Amane was about to help Horikita take off her clothes, Amasawa coiled around her like a water snake...

"Ichinose-senpai, they..."

Nanase, who was getting dressed in bed to make room for them, looked at their entangled state and her face was so red that it felt hot to the touch.

"Ah, you'll get used to it..."

Ichinose smiled helplessly. She didn't know how to explain it to Nanase. She couldn't very well just say that the two of them were having a battle for 'power of discourse', could she?
