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

Sakayanagi rarely spoke so much. If Amane were there, she would definitely be more shocked than by the content of his words that Sakayanagi had become such a chatterbox.

The reason why Sakayanagi said so much in one go was that he wanted to soothe Horikita's heart, which had begun to doubt itself.

Horikita didn't believe in everything between her and Amane as she claimed. She was afraid, afraid that Amane would one day leave her.

She was afraid of graduation day, afraid that Tianyin would break up with her, and afraid of being abandoned by Tianyin.

Therefore, Sakayanagi must spend more time and effort to give Horikita the ability to completely replace her.

What do you need me to promise you?

After saying this, Horikita felt a bitter taste in her mouth. Before today, she had thought that she was only slightly inferior to Sakayanagi, a gap that could be shortened or surpassed through pursuit and hard work.

It turned out that this distance was not actually on the same plane.

This was nothing short of a cruel joke played on Horikita by fate.

"Promise me you will truly consider yourself Tianyin's lover. You are not just a passerby in Tianyin's life. Besides, even after graduation, you cannot escape the clutches of fate. From the moment your destinies intersected, you could not escape it as you wished."

Chapter 230: Class Transfer Changes

Summer vacation is over, and the second semester of second grade officially begins today. If we look at the entire three years of school life in the past, today seems to officially mark the halfway point of their school life as second graders.

In other words, the countdown has already begun.

"Excuse me, could you move aside?"

Tianyin dragged her exhausted body and struggled desperately in the crowded corridor.

It took a lot of effort to squeeze out of the crowd. Looking back at the throng of people in front of the notice board, Tianyin sighed deeply and continued walking towards the classroom.

"I knew it……"

Tianyin sighed as she looked at the sandwich in her hand, which had been flattened. It wasn't that Tianyin couldn't understand why the bulletin board was surrounded so early in the morning. Since June, the school's bulletin board had not posted any new changes in class points. Although each class's points could be deduced from the individual points distributed on the first day of the following month, this made it impossible to know the point changes of other classes.

How many points are you behind the class above or below you? Has the class you're trying to catch up with been trending upward or downward in points over the past few months? You have no way of knowing any of this. You can only gather information by asking questions, bribing, or eavesdropping. This is not only inefficient, but it also often results in different points being collected by different people.

Therefore, almost every month in recent months, someone has been requesting the school to release the latest class point changes as soon as possible.

So, on the first day of school after the summer vacation, the school posted the changes in points.

Grade 2, Class A (Tianyin Class): 1792 points.

Grade 2, Class B (Sakayanagi Class): 1575 points.

Grade 2 Class C (Longyuan Class): 1037 points.

Grade 2, Class D (Ayanokoji Class): 745 points.

Originally, everyone only had a rough guess about the difference in points between their classes, but when the school announced the changes in points over the past three months, almost all the second-grade classes except for Class A fell silent.

In June and July, the class points of all second-grade classes fluctuated around 100 points, with the highest change not exceeding 30 points, which means that everyone was still on the same starting line in terms of point growth.

However, after the survival special test, Class A of the first year made a strong leap and took the first place. Originally, there was only a few dozen points between Class A and Class B, so the students of Class B never really took Tianyin and the students of Class A seriously, thinking that Tianyin and the others were just lucky. They believed that as long as Class A made a mistake, they could return to Class A's position.

However, a special exam shattered the last glimmer of hope and complacency of the students in Class B. The original reward was based on the scores of the four classes, and in theory, the difference in points should not be too great. However, Tianyin received a bonus of 100 class points each for the most eliminated students and the most flags captured, giving them 200 more class points than Class B.

That's a full 200 points! Class B took a year and a half to gain just over 200 points, but Tianyin almost killed the game with just one special exam.

Compared to Class B, which is top-ranked but lifeless.

Although Class C and Class D of the second grade were surprised by how extraordinary the first two classes were, they were actually very satisfied with their class points.

Class C's class points have finally surpassed the number at the beginning of the semester. This means that every student in Class C can get more than 100,000 personal points every month. This was a privilege that only Class A students used to have. Moreover, according to the rules of the special exam, these students will get far more than 100,000 points.

The first-grade A class chose to voluntarily deduct 300 class points to protect students, which means that all students in the second grade who participated in the special survival test can receive personal points equal to 300 class points, and this will continue for twelve months.

300 class points equal 30,000 personal points. This means that a student in Class C of the second year who took the special survival test could earn more than 130,000 personal points in a month. Keep in mind that even students in Class A of the third year do not have such treatment.

As for Class D of the second year, they were grinning from ear to ear. Starting from 0 points, they made a comeback and returned to over 700 points. If they were lucky, they might even break through 1,000 points or surpass Class C. Even if they failed in the end, these personal points were enough to sustain everyone's survival. They no longer had to go to the cafeteria every day to eat some mountain vegetable set meal.

Moreover, several major events occurred on the last day of summer vacation.

First, Kanzaki used a transfer card to enter Class A of the second year, and in exchange, Amane used a transfer card to allow Ayanokouji to enter Class D of the second year.

This move left everyone completely dumbfounded.

After Amane received the transfer card, almost everyone was convinced that the transfer spot would definitely go to Sakayanagi, and that Kamuro might even transfer with her. However, to everyone's surprise, Amane used the transfer card on Ayanokouji, and even made the move of giving away her own outstanding talent, which maximized the loss. Various opinions emerged, some saying it was because of class struggle, and others who knew a little about the inside story believed that Ayanokouji and Sato's relationship would affect the harmony of the class.

No matter how you look at it, if you had to send someone away, it should have been Sato, who was the least valuable. But Amane did the opposite and sent Ayanokouji, who was ranked in the top three in Class A, to Class D. This move was incomprehensible not only to others, but even to Horikita, who even talked to Amane about it.

But this time, Tianyin was very firm in her stance and refused to talk about the matter at all.

This made Horikita even more suspicious that there was something fishy going on.

In fact, before the class transfer, Amane met privately with Himeno, Ayanokoji, and Kanzaki.

With Eri Iwasaki's (Yuki) assurance, Ayanokouji no longer worried about his father, Atsuomi Ayanokouji, forcing him to drop out of school. As for how to survive in society, he only needed to give up his surname and marry into the Iwasaki family, and everything would be taken care of. As a renowned heavy industry giant, the Iwasaki family's influence was not to be underestimated. In particular, Eri Iwasaki, as an illegitimate daughter, became the only daughter of their generation after being legally recognized. Marriage was definitely out of the question, otherwise their family line would be cut off. If she married into the family, she would have to lower her standards for the other party. Ayanokouji, a top talent with great strength and no other options, was exactly what the Iwasaki family valued.

At the start of the new semester for second graders, the Iwasaki family donated a large sum of money to the school, securing a seat on the board of directors and sending one of their members to stay at the school long-term to observe and protect Ayanokoji Kiyotaka. No matter how powerful Ayanokoji Atsuomi was, he wouldn't dare to cause trouble in such a place.

Therefore, Ayanokouji's future path has been paved, and he no longer needs to worry about further education or the future. The only thing that worries him right now is Sato's matter.

He had to appear ruthless enough to prevent Iwasaki or Ayanokoji Atsuomi from seeing Sato as their weakness and taking action against him.

Therefore, he had to cut off all contact with Sato and keep his distance. So, back during the forest training, Ayanokouji hoped that Amane would let him go to Class C or Class D. In return, Ayanokouji promised not to harm the people around Amane and not to use any malicious tactics against Class A.

Seeing that Ayanokouji was determined to leave, and considering their three-year friendship from their time at the White House, Amane agreed to the arrangement. However, Amane was never one to suffer a loss, so she proposed exchanging Kanzaki for him.

Actually, Amane originally intended to keep Himeno, because Amane knew that Himeno had always been trying to keep her presence low, and that her strength was at least no less than Kanzaki's. However, considering that Ryuen might suddenly rise to power and defeat Class B, Amane left Ayanokoji and Himeno, who liked to scheme, in Class D.

These two in Class D might just give Longyuan a hard time someday, so she won't have to worry about dealing with Longyuan's affairs anymore.

Kanzaki felt apprehensive, unsafe, and even somewhat confused about being specifically chosen by Amane to be assigned to Class A.

He made a complete fool of himself when facing Tianyin. Not only did he never win a single victory, but he was also always being toyed with by Tianyin. He really didn't understand what the point of Tianyin keeping a piece of trash like him was.

And there's something even more important: Ichinose is also in Class A. It was he who agreed to Ninomiya abandoning Ichinose back then. Although he couldn't save Ichinose at the time, he didn't make any effort to keep Ichinose. Now that they're in the same class again, Kanzaki doesn't even want to think about how awkward it would be if they met.

However, Amane didn't care about any of that. With Katsuragi, Hirata, and Kanzaki in charge, she could easily handle all kinds of class affairs even if she entrusted them entirely to Horikita or Ichinose.

As for what Tianyin does?

Of course, it's dry...

cough cough.

It's just that the current Tianyin might be more sensitive to this word.

Tianyin took a bite of the squashed sandwich, but the expected flavors of bacon, eggs, and salad dressing didn't appear; instead, her mouth was filled with a bitter taste.

Tianyin glanced at the sandwich, without showing any strange or unusual expression, and continued to chew mechanically until she finally swallowed it. When she reached the classroom door, Tianyin opened a carton of milk that had also been squeezed flat. Fortunately, the packaging was sturdy enough that there was no leakage.

Using a straw to pry open the milk bottle, Tianyin took a deep breath, and some liquid flowed into her mouth through the straw.

The milky aroma didn't appear in my memory; just like the sandwich, it was replaced by a bitter taste.

As the bitter taste filled her mouth, Tianyin's expression became increasingly resigned to her fate.

As soon as she entered the classroom, everyone greeted her. After that, Tianyin sat down in her seat and then collapsed onto the desk.

Seeing Amane's dejected appearance, Megumi and Ichinose quickly rushed over from their seats.

"Tianyin, what happened to you? Such dark circles under your eyes, did you stay up all night?"

Hui rubbed Tianyin's cheeks, trying to make her look more energetic, but after the blush faded, Tianyin's face was still ashen, looking like a girl addicted to online games who had stayed up all night for days.

"Well, I guess so..."

"Sort of? That answer doesn't reassure me. Where did you spend the night yesterday?"

"Ring sound..."

Upon hearing Horikita's name, Megumi and Ichinose exchanged a glance; they had finally found the root of the problem.

Horikita must have been up to something new with Amane again, and now Amane's body is completely exhausted.

"Good morning, Hui and Fanbo... What are you all doing gathered here?"

As soon as Horikita entered the classroom, he saw Megumi and Ichinose surrounding Amane, and couldn't help but curiously come over as well.

"What are you doing? Lingyin, aren't you going a bit too far?"

Megumi glared angrily at Horikita.

Judging from Tianyin's current state, it's unlikely she'll visit her for at least a week. They can't be eating meat while they don't even get to drink the soup.

"Excessive? I don't understand what you're talking about... By the way, Tianyin, why did you leave without waiting for me? I was planning to make you some breakfast, but unfortunately I got up a little late today."

As Horikita spoke, he took out a sandwich and the same brand of milk that Amane had just eaten. Amane's eyelids twitched, and she almost thought she was hallucinating.

Ever since the birthday party ended, Amane noticed that Horikita was acting a little strange. As soon as they got back to the dorm, Horikita insisted on having an in-depth discussion about life philosophy with Amane.

Amane, who was already enjoying herself, couldn't stop smiling when she saw Horikita being so proactive. Little did she know that since that night, Amane had opened Pandora's box.

She could no longer distinguish between day and night. Whenever she woke up, Horikita would pester her to have a deeper conversation. Even though Amane was in good physical condition, after three days and nights of discussing life, Amane finally wilted. On the other hand, Horikita was still full of energy.

So much so that Amane began to wonder if Horikita had been playing dumb all along.

Just as Horikita was about to feed Amane breakfast, the class bell rang on time. Unlike in the past when she would always be right on time to enter the classroom, this time Chabashira-sensei walked into the classroom before the bell had finished ringing.

"As the first class of the second semester, I know you won't be able to concentrate on anything, so I'm turning both of my classes into class meetings. I'm planning to discuss a few important things with you."

From the moment she entered, Ms. Chabashira didn't utter a single word of nonsense. Her overly efficient style, which omitted even polite words and greetings, instantly made the atmosphere in the class tense.

"Tea Pillar Teacher, is the school going to give us another special exam? It's only the first day of school, surely they won't even give us a little time to catch our breath?"

Seeing someone express their dissatisfaction, Teacher Chabashira sighed.

"I thought you had grown a lot, but it seems you were just dragged into positions that didn't belong to you. You've been here for over a year and you're still not ready for a special exam at any time. It's really disappointing. But this news isn't all bad for you. I have some good news and some bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"

Everyone who heard the good news from Teacher Chabashira for the first time had an incredulous expression on their faces, as if the sun had risen in the west.

Even Chashu felt that he might have been a bit too harsh on them in the past.

"What kind of looks are those? Does good news warrant such surprise? The student in the back row, please lift your head. This is a class meeting, but you still need to pay attention..."

Before Teacher Chabashira could finish speaking, she saw Amane, who had dark circles under her eyes and looked confused, look up and meet her gaze.

After confirming that the person who looked a bit like a humanoid panda was indeed Amane, Chabashira quickly waved his hand to let her continue sleeping.

It's just a few disciplinary points anyway, so let them be deducted.

"Miyako, you should continue to rest. Take advantage of this class meeting to recharge. Remember not to stay out too late in the future. You young people don't realize the consequences now, but you'll regret your indulgence when you're older."

Seeing how quickly Chabashira-sensei's expression changed, the class fell silent. When no one answered her previous question, Chabashira-sensei coughed twice to cover up her embarrassment, and then began to announce the good news herself.

"Since none of you want to hear anything first, I'll start with the good news. The school has made arrangements, but it's not a special exam. There will be no punishment, and you can have as much fun as you want."

Although Chabashira-sensei's words were very tempting, everyone present already knew what kind of school it was, so naturally no one believed Chabashira-sensei's explanation.

"As for the bad news, from now on you will have to prepare for both the sports festival and the cultural festival at the same time. Oh, right, Miyako can't participate in the sports festival this time."

"Huh?!!"

Chapter 231: Please disable Heroic Miyako Ten'in

Upon hearing that Amane couldn't participate in the sports festival, everyone in the class showed surprised expressions, especially Hirata, whose reaction speed was even faster than Horikita's in this matter.

"Tea Pillar Teacher, are there any other students from other classes who have been restricted from participating in the sports festival?"

When Teacher Chabashira saw that Hirata didn't rush to ask why Amane couldn't participate, he was very satisfied with Hirata's composure. After several special exams, although Hirata was still the same man who harbored the naive dream of protecting everyone, he had learned to remain calm and not blindly choose sides before his classmates were treated unfairly...

As expected, Hirata was too hasty in taking sides last time and was thoroughly disgusted by Sato's behavior. Now, even if he wants to uphold his beliefs, he has to understand the ins and outs of things before deciding whether to take sides.

"Hirata, I know what you want to ask. There are no other students from other classes who are unable to participate in the sports festival for any reason. In other words, only Miyako Amane is forced to not participate in the sports festival in October. As for the reason, I don't need to explain, right?"

Before Amane came to this school, the sports festival was the happiest time for all students who were good at physical sports. Many students who were good at sports and had the desire to enter various prestigious schools in sports gathered here at Gaoyu.

If Gaoyu were just an ordinary school, then whether or not a student is a sports student wouldn't have such a big impact. But at Gaoyu, academic achievements represent strength, and those with strong abilities will be supported and enjoy different attention and power in the class compared to ordinary students.

Even if you are in a situation where you might be expelled, the entire class might do everything in their power to save you so as not to lose a talented student.

In short, capable people will have many hidden privileges at this school.

However, Gao Yu usually only has two opportunities to demonstrate his abilities: academic performance and special exams. Even in special exams, there are obviously more opportunities to test one's brain than physical strength. This makes those students who only excel in physical fitness feel extremely frustrated. Compared to the highly popular all-round talents, these students who are extremely unbalanced in their studies can only be divided into a separate group in the class—the poor students.

Over time, many of these people began to doubt themselves, wondering if they were really of no use to the class, and became increasingly depressed until the Sports Festival arrived, which was almost a blessing for all students who were good at physical fitness.

Only at the sports festival do these "underachievers," who usually sit in the corner of the classroom and are not noticed by anyone, have the opportunity to shine or be cheered for by the whole audience. If they perform exceptionally well, they might even receive a confession from the opposite sex after the sports festival. Therefore, these people start looking forward to the special exam every spring.

This situation continued until the appearance of Tianyin.

In the previous edition, Amane showed everyone what a sports festival where strength reigns supreme should be. First, she won all the physical events with overwhelming results, and then she really demonstrated what it means to be a top-tier human in the special program. She single-handedly broke through the encirclement of hundreds of students with physical fitness C-level or above, and even turned the tables and wiped out all those who dared to challenge her.

That time, the Heavenly Sound was the most dazzling presence, without exception.

If we look at that sports festival from the perspective of being in the same class as Amane, there is no doubt that it was the one time that made their class stand out. It could even be said that it established the class's status in the entire grade in one battle, and Amane Miyako became a hero they were proud of and an absolute powerhouse in their hearts.
