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

"Cough cough..."

Sang Yuan coughed a few times, and Tian Yin, who had been resting with her eyes closed, opened them and looked at Sang Yuan.

"Does Sangyuan have a cold?"

Sangyuan looked flattered when she heard Tianyin's concerned question.

"It's probably a cold. I've had health problems since I was a child because of illness. Although I've exercised a lot since then, I still get sick very easily, cough cough cough..."

As Sangyuan spoke, she began to cough violently, and Tianyin quickly poured her a cup of hot tea.

"Have some tea to calm down first. Do you need some medicine? I remember the school sent over a lot of cold medicine."

Living on the mountaintop for extended periods while frequently descending for activities inevitably exposes one to the effects of air pressure and temperature differences. The temperature at the mountaintop is already significantly lower than normal. To prevent potential colds and infectious influenza, the school distributed a large quantity of cold medicine to both sides. Tianyin also had a considerable amount of unused medicine in stock.

"I have prepared plenty of cold medicine, so there's no need to trouble you, Miyako-senpai."

As Sang Yuan spoke, she opened her bag. Tian Yin glanced at it casually, and the variety of medicines inside dazzled her. She hadn't expected that Sang Yuan's asthma wasn't the only reason for her illness; she was also a regular medicine addict. No wonder she seemed to have practiced martial arts since childhood, yet her body was so weak that it couldn't even compare to the physical fitness of an elementary school student.

However, it is truly remarkable that someone with such poor physical condition could still develop such amazing marksmanship.

This is absolutely inseparable from the efforts of Sangyuan.

"By the way, I remember you were wearing glasses at the beginning, Sangyuan? Why aren't you wearing them now?"

Perhaps others don't have a particularly deep impression of Sangyuan, but in Tianyin's eyes, Sangyuan's performance at the forest school was absolutely amazing. If Albert hadn't accidentally adopted a war of attrition tactic that greatly depleted Sangyuan's already limited stamina, and then launched a counterattack under Tianyin's guidance, Sangyuan might have been able to defeat Albert directly. In particular, the confident and high-spirited look when he held the long stick was still fresh in Tianyin's memory.

During the last chaotic battle, Tianyin thought that Sangyuan wasn't wearing her glasses because they had been knocked off, but now it seems that's not the case.

When Tianyin inquired about the glasses, Sangyuan's face quickly flushed red. After hesitating for a moment, she shyly whispered an explanation.

"Actually, those glasses were just for decoration. I heard that boys don't really like girls who wear glasses, so I wore them to avoid being harassed..."

Sang Yuan's explanation immediately made Tianyin understand. Although Sang Yuan was very powerful, all her skills were definitely in guns. If she were to be harassed by a boy, her frail body would probably be less capable of protecting herself than an ordinary girl.

Thinking of Sangyuan's sharpshooting skills, Tianyin couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"I see. By the way, what school of spear technique did you demonstrate last time, Sangyuan? It doesn't seem to resemble the Hozoin school that I'm more familiar with?"

The gunplay style that Tenon is familiar with is the most famous Hozoin style here. Almost everyone who plays with guns will first learn the basic moves of this style, and then choose to choose advanced gunplay or other styles depending on their preference.

"Yes, the spear technique I learned is the Owari Kanjō-ryū."

The Piercing Spear technique is one of the less common spear fighting styles, and Tianyin doesn't have much of an impression of it, but...

"Huh? Piercing spear? If I remember correctly, aren't piercing spears usually two-barreled guns?"

"Two rooms" refers to the length, which translates to 3.6 meters. Sangyuan is actually skilled at using a 3.6-meter-long spear for attacks... Tianyin looked at Sangyuan, who was only about 1.6 meters tall, and couldn't imagine how she could use a spear that was two meters taller than her.

"That's right, that's how it is. If I had been holding my best gun last time, I could have used the distance advantage to defeat Yamada-senpai. As for Miyako-kun, as long as he doesn't get close to me, he won't be able to take me down in a short time."

When Sang Yuan's area of ​​expertise was mentioned, her eyes seemed to sparkle, clearly showing her immense passion for marksmanship. Moreover, her confident demeanor was completely different from her usual gentle appearance, as if she were a different person. Tian Yin was already looking forward to the day when Sang Yuan would truly show her her full strength.

After being stared at by Tianyin for a long time, Sangyuan felt a little embarrassed and her momentum vanished, instantly turning her back into the inconspicuous little person who could hide in the class at any time.

Just as Tianyin was about to make a joke about Sangyuan, the dense footsteps outside the door indicated that Longyuan had already assembled its personnel to attack the first-year students.

Yagami and the others also heard the chaotic footsteps, and their expressions changed drastically.

"I gave you a chance, but you were too weak to attack me. So I won't give you another chance!"

Tianyin stretched her body and revealed a cruel smile.

It turns out that Tenon had seen through their secret communication. The reason she pretended to be vulnerable and alone was to lure them into attacking. If Yagami and the others dared to attack Tenon, they would definitely not be able to leave here today.

Realizing they had just narrowly escaped death, the group felt a chill run down their spines and quickly began to explain.

"Senior Miyako, you're overthinking it. We genuinely want to help you defeat Masahiko Miyako, and we hope you can trust us."

"We've disliked that guy for a long time, and we've come to you, Miyako-senpai, with sincerity. We hope you can treat us with the same sincerity."

……

Tianyin waved her hand dismissively, interrupting their explanations and declarations of loyalty. She had long seen through their ulterior motives, and listening to their insincere explanations only made her feel disgusted.

"I won't say anything more. Since you've pledged allegiance to me, you must obey all my orders. Can you accept that?"

"No problem, we are willing to follow your arrangements, Senior Miyako."

Yagami, representing the group, spoke first.

Tianyin nodded in satisfaction.

"I need you to have this kind of awareness. When we attack the first-year students later, you will be at the forefront to launch the attack."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Yagami immediately nodded respectfully in agreement, but inwardly he was cursing Amane. It was obvious that they were being used as cannon fodder, and he couldn't refuse at this moment. What use were they to Amane if they didn't even want to be cannon fodder? If they were on the same side, Yagami would do the same without hesitation. So Yagami was just venting in his heart, but in reality, he had no objection to this approach.

Tenon led Yagami and the others out of the conference room. The night sky was already covered with dark clouds, and a downpour was imminent. However, Tenon did not hesitate at all and happily stepped into the continuous rain.

"A total of forty-six people; this is all the second-year students can muster."

After glancing at the second-year students lined up behind him in the rain, Ryuen spoke seriously to Amane.

After nearly two weeks of fighting, the second-year students also suffered a lot of losses, especially Hirata and the wounded were ambushed by Masahiko and Ishizaki and others were eliminated by themselves, which was a heavy loss. However, even so, the number of second-year students who survived was more than twice that of the first-year students.

Amane nodded calmly, then stepped across Ryuen and glanced at the boys and girls standing in the rain. Among them were Katsuragi and Yukimura, who were not good at fighting, as well as Horikita and Ichinose, who were physically exhausted but still stood in front of Amane.

Even Amasawa and Nanase appeared here like everyone else. Without a doubt, this was the full fighting force that the second-year students could muster so far, and it was also the strongest lineup of allies that could be fielded in all the special exams so far.

"Albert, why does your suit look so awkward?"

Tianyin immediately noticed that Albert, dressed in a black suit, looked extremely uncomfortable. Considering that he usually wore a suit, he shouldn't have felt uncomfortable.

"The suit the boss gave me was a size too small."

As soon as Albert finished speaking, good-natured laughter erupted from the group.

Hashimoto jokingly pointed to Albert standing to the side.

"I practically forced him into that suit; seeing how uncomfortable he looked, it would have been better if he had just worn his tracksuit."

Tianyin shook her head at this seemingly reasonable joke.

"That won't work."

Tenon's refusal made Hashimoto stop smiling; for a moment, he was a little confused about what Tenon was really up to.

Just then, Horikita brought out a burgundy suit jacket and helped Amane change into it.

Any student of Gaoyu would have no chance of mistaken; this burgundy women's suit is almost identical in style to the school uniform.

After Horikita helped Amane put on the suit, Amane patted the raindrops off the clothes and looked at Hashimoto.

"Because tonight, I am the star."

Hashimoto immediately realized that the red and white tracksuit was very conspicuous in the dark night and could easily be confused with Amane's outfit.

Tonight's surprise attack is another battle that will determine the outcome between the two grades, and Tianyin will not allow any flaws or anyone to steal her thunder.

'She's exactly the same as she was back at the sports festival.'

Hashimoto gave Amane an approving look before returning to the group, and the formation, which had been somewhat scattered due to the playful fighting, returned to its original state of being ready for battle.

Tenon looked at the second-year students standing solemnly in the rain and announced the order to depart.

"Attention, all hands! With all flags and targets in hand, Class 1-A's base! Run forward!"

At a command, seven flags were raised in the ranks. From left to right, they were the flags of Class A, B, C, and D of Grade 2, while the three flags behind them were naturally the captured flags of Class B, C, and D of Grade 1.

At this moment, both Nanase and Yagami looked at their class's flag with complicated expressions, while only Amasawa stared intently at the wine-red figure gradually disappearing into the distance.

Rumble!!!

The rumble of thunder echoed through the clouds. Suddenly, with a crack of lightning, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, and the rain that had been accumulating in the clouds for so long began to fall incessantly like beads from a broken string.

However, the marching group showed no sign of stopping. Wearing disposable raincoats, they walked silently through the rain. This was the first time the second-year students had left their base as a group. They crossed riverbeds that were originally dry but had now become slippery and muddy, and then passed through groves of dead trees with no leaves and shallow beaches covered with dense pebbles. Finally, after nearly two hours of running, the team led by Tianyin, which had raided the first-year students, arrived at the foot of the mountain not far from the first-year students' base.

The viewing huts here have long been occupied by second-year students, and the one responsible for guarding them is Morishita Ai from Class 1-B.

Morishita was startled when he saw Amane and her group suddenly appear, but after learning that Amane was going to break through Class A's base that night, he was also very excited.

Through the surveillance cameras, Morishita could see that there was almost no one guarding the first-year students' base. Apart from a small tent with a faint light, the other students were gathered in the central area of ​​the base.

"Tianyin, when are we going to attack the stronghold?"

Horikita tossed a piece of chocolate to Amane. Ever since Ryuen occupied this place, he had been stockpiling simple food and snacks here, trying to turn this Vision Hut into a bridgehead for attacking Class A's base. Masahiko naturally knew Ryuen's intentions and gave the order to take back the Vision Hut. However, at that time, both sides were in a truce and could only carry out small-scale attacks in tacit agreement. As a result, all the men Masahiko sent were defeated by Morishita, allowing Morishita to earn a lot of special points. In the end, Masahiko simply let Amazawa and Tsubaki Sakura challenge Morishita together, but Morishita took advantage of his home field and chose the riddle challenge and successfully defeated Amazawa and Tsubaki Sakura. After that, Masahiko completely gave up on taking back this place.

Now that he knows the special exam is about to end, Morishita has taken out all the food he has stored and is sharing it with everyone.

Amane didn't answer Horikita's question immediately. Instead, she tore open the packaging, popped the chocolate into her mouth, and chewed it vigorously.

Just as Horikita thought Amane wanted to think about the battle plan, Amane suddenly stood up from the ground.

"Let's go now!"

After less than twenty minutes of rest, everyone got moving again and rushed towards the top of the mountain.

Yagami, who was at the forefront, was speechless. He had originally planned to take it easy and remind the first-year students in charge of guarding the base, but Amane directly sent Amasawa and Nanase to help them attack. The intention was obvious. It seemed a bit difficult to remind the people in the base in front of the two of them...

Just when Yagami was about to give up, a voice rang out, rekindling the flame of hope in his eyes.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Wake up!!! The second-year students are attacking!!!"

Chapter 223: The Special Exam Ends

"Damn it! Our operation has been discovered!"

Yagami anxiously spoke to Tensawa beside him, but secretly he couldn't help but feel delighted. He hadn't known how to warn Yagami about Tensawa's attack, but now, these unprofessional second-year students had exposed their whereabouts ahead of time.

Although they lost the strategic advantage of the stronghold from the start, as long as Yan and the others retreated to the residential area behind, they could withstand the second-year students' attack with the narrow bend that could only be passed by three people at a time. In addition, the second-year students' formation was now in disarray and it was raining heavily, which gave Yagami and the others the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Amane while the visibility was poor.

Tianze glanced at Yagami but said nothing. She had already figured out Yagami's little tricks. Perhaps because Yagami was so focused on how to ambush Tianyin, she didn't realize that the second-year students had no intention of concealing their whereabouts and were planning to crush them with sheer strength.

Three more boys emerged from the disturbed tent. When they saw a large group of boys in raincoats and suits charging towards them, they were all stunned and froze in place. Seeing that the other side was not running for their lives but daring to stand there in a daze, Katsuragi quickly gave the order to attack.

"Use paintballs."

After saying that, Katsuragi picked up a paintball, weighed it in his hand, and then threw it at one of the people. Due to poor visibility and the rain making it more difficult to throw, the lighter paintball missed its target and hit one of the people's trouser legs, leaving a blue stain.

The boy who was hit breathed a sigh of relief. Although the paintball had hit him, according to school rules, you needed to be hit by three paintballs to be eliminated. Luckily, he was only hit once. With the rain so heavy, the other side's hit rate would definitely be much lower. If he ran away now...

"Shiratori-kun..."

Before Bai Niao could even lift his leg to run away, he heard the person beside him calling his name in a trembling voice.

Following the direction of his finger, Shiratori looked and saw countless paintballs mixed in with the dense rain. Before they could even scream, Shiratori and his companions were baptized by the rain of paintballs falling from the sky.

"keep going!"

Katsuragi glanced at the three people lying in the puddle, covered in various colors of fuel, and then loudly ordered the second-year students to move forward.

Watching the second-year students file in, and the last seven flags still clearly visible in the rain, Shiratori sighed. From the beginning, he felt that they didn't have much of a chance of winning this special exam, but he never thought they would lose so badly.

Tap, tap, tap...

Footsteps approached slowly in the rainy night, and the three of them looked at the last person in the second-year group without prior agreement.

Wearing a disposable transparent raincoat, Tianyin slowly walked past the three of them. Her serious expression made them not dare to even breathe. Tianyin merely glanced at Bai Niao, and Bai Niao felt as if the air in his body had been sucked out in an instant. A suffocating feeling made his breathing rapid. Just as Bai Niao was about to collapse from the oppressive feeling brought by Tianyin and shouted loudly, the person next to him immediately stepped forward and covered his mouth tightly, desperately preventing him from making any sound. Only when the sound of his footsteps slowly moving forward in the rain disappeared from their ears did the three of them collapse into the puddle as if they had lost all their strength.

When Tianyin arrived at the first-year base, the surrounding tents were already covered in paintballs, making it look like she had walked into a swarm of poisonous mushrooms from a distance.

Standing around were dejected first-year students who had been eliminated, and second-year students who had been eliminated by the opponent's counterattack, except that the second-year students only had a little regret on their faces.

If he had been just a little more careful, he probably wouldn't have been eliminated.

Surrounded in the very center by the second-year students were Masahiko, Takahashi, Ishigami, and Amamiya.

Just then, the four of them were discussing how to lure Tianyin out in three days to prepare for a decisive battle. As a result, they managed to escape the siege by the second-year students. However, while they escaped, Class A of the first year was completely eliminated.

Jiang Yan looked at Tian Yin with a complicated expression. Now that their biggest problem had been solved, they no longer needed to think about how to lure Tian Yin out to fight them. But the new problem was how to defend against the siege of the second-year students who had suffered almost no losses.

"Jiang Yan, what should we do?"

Takahashi looked at Albert in horror, his voice trembling as he asked Masahiko about the next plan.

Jiang Yan shook his head; at this point, he had no plans left.

We have no choice but to take a gamble.

"I order you few to go and capture Sister Tianyin."

Jiang Yan gave his final order as the first-year commander.

"Wait...we're going to take down Miyako Amane? There's a limit to jokes..."

Before Takahashi could finish speaking, Amamiya yelled and rushed towards Amamiya. Just a few steps into Amamiya's run, Kanzaki slowly walked out of the group. When Amamiya saw someone blocking her way, she raised her leg to kick Kanzaki, but Kanzaki firmly grabbed her ankle.
