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

She had originally wanted to chat with Tianyin a bit more, leaving Chazhu alone to suffer, but who knew Chazhu would be so tactless? She should have brought up those things from back then earlier.

Amane finally realized that things didn't seem to match what Hoshinomiya-sensei had said. Chabashira-sensei's expression was indeed painful, but his slightly choked tone didn't seem to be caused by a headache at all.

"You're already late, what are you dawdling for!"

"I see."

Amane didn't ask any more questions, but followed Chashu's instructions and went into the classroom. Everyone has a side that they don't want others to see, and if you want to meddle in everything or dig into every little thing, you'll only make yourself live a very tiring life.

Therefore, even though Amane judged that Chabashira-sensei must have encountered difficulties, Chabashira-sensei was in such distress but did not choose to seek help from Amane, so Amane had no position to take the initiative to help Chabashira-sensei.

After all, Tianyin is no pushover.

As soon as she entered the classroom, all the students turned their eyes to Tianyin. From their gazes, Tianyin could see a variety of emotions: curiosity, nervousness, confusion, and... worry.

"You're a full ten minutes late for class. What's your name?"

When Tianyin heard someone ask her a question, she noticed a bald, middle-aged man standing at the back of the classroom, arms crossed, looking at her with an unfriendly expression.

Seeing this person's presence, Amane finally understood why the classroom remained quiet even when Chabashira-sensei wasn't there.

Today is probably destined to be an unusual day. Could it be some kind of last-minute exam? Schools always seem to be up to something weird.

"Miyako Tenon".

Tianyin gave her name in a bad mood, and the next second she saw the bald middle-aged man's face change.

"Since this is your first offense, I won't remember your name this time. Don't let it happen again."

Thank you.

Too lazy to pay attention to the pretentious bald middle-aged man, Amane went straight to her seat and sat down. Then, Teacher Chabashira followed Amane into the classroom, but his face was still particularly unpleasant.

"Tea Pillar Teacher, you're late."

"Sorry, I was preparing materials for the special exam, so I'm a little late."

"Prepare materials? If I remember correctly, the materials related to the special exam have already been sent to the teaching tablets with student IDs, haven't they?"

Upon hearing this, Teacher Chabashira's expression turned even more unpleasant.

"Alright, let's begin announcing the important information regarding the special exam."

Hearing the familiar term "special exam" from their conversation, the students of Class A weren't too surprised. However, the overly serious atmosphere today made everyone feel tense. The thought of the upcoming special exam made them anxious, especially since this special exam explicitly stated that points could not be used for rescue.

In other words, this was a special exam that would absolutely lead to expulsion, and even though everyone was already in Class A, they were all on high alert and ready to face this special exam.

Teacher Chazhu walked up to the podium and began explaining the special exam using a tablet.

"Due to time constraints, I won't go into the details. All you need to know is that today's test is called the 'Special Test for Unanimity.' The rules for this special test are very simple: you will use your tablets to answer questions from the school. There are only five questions in total, and the questions are the same for the entire grade. Don't worry about that; the questions won't be too difficult. However, you need for everyone in the class to agree on the answers to pass."

If there are discrepancies in the answers, there will be a ten-minute break before proceeding to the next round for that question. This continues until the answers are identical or the school's five-hour time limit is exceeded. There is no limit to the number of times you can answer the same question. However, it's important to note that exceeding the time limit will result in a deduction of 300 class points. Remember to manage your time wisely.

P.S.: I have some things to do tomorrow and might not be able to update. I'm letting everyone know in advance that I'll be taking a break. This will also give me time to organize the outline for the rest of the story and avoid writer's block. Finally, thank you all for your continued support!

Chapter 236: Go on a Date After Answering the Questions

After Ms. Chabashira finished explaining the precautions for the "Special Exam for All Students," the entire class fell into an unusual silence. Normally, everyone would have started discussing the content of the special exam in a noisy manner, complaining about the strange rules set by the school and the lack of sufficient preparation time, etc.

However, today was unusual; the whole class was quiet, and Ms. Chazhu frowned slightly at the silence.

"The special exam will start promptly at 10:00 AM. You don't have much time left to prepare. If you have any questions or anything you don't understand, it's best to ask them in advance to avoid any trouble during the exam. I won't be able to communicate with you during the exam, let alone answer your questions."

Urged on by Teacher Chabashira, the first student finally raised his hand to ask a question.

"Do you have any questions, Wang?"

When her name was called, Wang Meiyu stood up cautiously. She first glanced timidly at the uncle standing behind her before asking in a soft, sweet voice.

"Tea Pillar Teacher, were the questions in this special exam really that easy?"

Seeing Wang Meiyu's cautious demeanor, yet she immediately asked such a question, Chashu was somewhat speechless, but still nodded.

"That's right, the questions in this special exam are very simple. There are no questions that you can't answer. Let me give you an example."

Teacher Chazhu picked up the chalk and wrote quickly on the blackboard.

Question: Would you be willing to exchange 5 class points for 10000 personal points?

Answer: (1) Willing (2) Unwilling

Seeing that the problem was presented to everyone in this way, the class finally began to discuss it again.

“从结果上来看的话貌似选择10000点个人更有得赚诶…5点班级点数的话换算过来一个月价值是500点个人点数，从现在开始直到毕业的话一共能获得9000点个人点数，也就是说这道题是在询问我们是选择分期获得9000点个人点数还是一次性获得10000点个人点数，那显然是10000点个人点数更有利了。”

Yukimura quickly calculated that, considering personal points, choosing 'agree' was clearly the better option to maximize benefits.

But Katsuragi quickly retorted.

"Yukimura-kun, that's not how you do it. Although Class B is 200 class points behind us, no one can deny that Class B's overall strength is slightly better than ours. And while we have made great progress in academics, the gap between us and Class B, which has almost eliminated students below C level, is enormous. Therefore, no one can guarantee that Class B won't take advantage of the special academic exam to close the gap in class points with us. What if, I mean, what if it really comes down to a battle over those 5 class points? At that point, those 5 class points will be worth much more than just 10000 individual points."

Katsuragi paused for a moment to let everyone digest what he had just said, and then, seeing that everyone was looking at him, he slowly spoke again.

“到时候这5点班级点数就能决定全班的命运，班上一共有37名同学，想要37人全部以A班的身份毕业需要7亿4000万点个人点数！所以这道题是在询问我们，是否愿意用1000点个人点数买走你可能价值7亿4000万点个人点数的机会。”

When Katsuragi said this, many people were stunned by the incredibly exaggerated number he mentioned.

After a long while, Maehara, who was sitting behind Katsuragi, spoke up in a low voice.

"What Katsuragi-kun said is a bit exaggerated... or rather, a bit dramatic, isn't it? It's practically impossible for a situation to arise where the outcome needs to be decided by 5 class points. The probability of that happening isn't much higher than buying a lottery ticket, is it?"

"The odds might be even lower than winning the lottery. At least I've heard of people winning 600 million yen, but I've never heard of a situation where the outcome is decided by 5 class points."

Shinohara added, seemingly unconvinced.

“Things aren’t always absolute. I think Katsuragi’s view is a very cautious and pragmatic approach. Everyone’s monthly income is already quite substantial. It’s not worth taking such a risk for a mere 10,000 personal points, is it?”

Kanzaki seemed a little nervous when he spoke to Class A for the first time, but what he said was true. From the defender's perspective, since they already had a lead, they should solidly expand their advantage instead of sacrificing it for personal gain. This may seem like just a small episode in the competition between classes for first place, but it is actually a major decision that determines the fate of the entire class. There is always a chance of something going wrong.

If something unexpected were to happen, and Class A really couldn't come up with those 5 class points, it would be a real tragedy.

"What? Why do you have to lecture us? Our lead is so big, it won't be easy to catch up. Besides, you probably haven't seen many situations where the ranking is determined by 5 class points, have you? If it were 10 points, I would definitely reject it outright, but it's just a trivial 5 class points that can be lost forever next time. Kanzaki-san, if I remember correctly, your Class D was quite cautious and conservative from the beginning, right? It turns out that you went from being cautious and conservative in Class B to Class D, hahaha."

Sato deliberately brought up Kanzaki's past drop in class rankings to ridicule him, and scattered voices of mockery of Kanzaki appeared in the class.

Snapped!

Suddenly, a loud bang rang out in the classroom.

Everyone looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Amane stared at Sato with a blank expression.

"I'm the one who brought Honami and Kanzaki back, which means I acknowledge their abilities. What? Sato-kun, are you questioning my decision?"

Upon seeing Tianyin's outburst, the entire classroom quickly fell silent.

Many people who were expecting a good show suddenly realized that they had inadvertently dragged Ichinose into the situation while mocking Kanzaki, so it was understandable that Amane would get angry.

"Ahem, some students, please watch your words and actions. Try your best not to use threats or intimidation to commit school violence against your classmates."

"Threat? Sato, did you tell him yourself that I threatened you?"

"No, no, I just spoke without thinking. I apologize to Ichinose and Kanzaki. I misspoke and I hope you can forgive me."

Sato's apology was insincere and was only done under pressure from Amane's power, which everyone knew. However, Kanzaki and Ichinose had no choice but to back down in this situation.

"See? I told you I didn't threaten anyone."

"Humph."

The middle-aged man snorted coldly and then fell silent.

After the minor incident, the class returned to quiet. Judging from the example problems, the questions didn't seem too difficult. Horikita should be able to handle this kind of small matter.

"Rinne, this special exam is in your hands..."

"Miyako!"

Tea Pillar Teacher interrupted Amane's words.

For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to Teacher Chazhu, who looked like he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Tianyin was somewhat bothered by his obvious expression that suggested he had something difficult to say.

suddenly!

Amane remembered what Teacher Chashu had told her that night.

Could this be a special exam?

But judging from the example questions, aren't they a bit too simple?

So Amane decided to confirm with Teacher Chabashira.

"Tea Pillar Teacher, is there something you want to tell me?"

Teacher Chabashira opened her mouth at first, but after seeing the teacher in charge of supervision behind her, she shook her head with a disappointed look.

"No."

"So, who do you think is more suitable to lead everyone in this special exam, me or Horikita?"

Logically speaking, such a frank question might seem like a lack of trust in Horikita's abilities, but those who already knew Horikita couldn't help but tense up upon hearing it.

Because Horikita's overall ability is now only slightly inferior to Sakayanagi's, and even Ryuen might not be able to defeat Horikita, who has the advantage, and Horikita also has a record of defeating Sakayanagi, it is not a big problem to say that Horikita's strength ranks second among all the leaders of the grade. She can basically handle the general exams without any problems. However, Amane was subtly asking if she should preside over the special exam.

Does this mean that the difficulty of this special exam may far exceed their expectations?

"I think it would be safer to use Miyako."

Teacher Chabashira looked at Amane.

"Hey~ Rinne, leave this to me this time."

"Tianyin, don't be too careless. I have a bad feeling about this special exam."

Chabashira-sensei's unusual behavior made Horikita realize that something was wrong. As a graduate of this school, what kind of special exams and storms hadn't Chabashira-sensei seen? How could he become so mentally exhausted when faced with such a seemingly simple special exam? Horikita simply didn't believe that there wasn't a story behind this special exam.

"Oh my! This kind of exam that can be solved in a few seconds actually requires Miyako. Am I underestimating the difficulty of the exam, or are you being too sensitive, teacher?"

Koenji still watched Amane walk step by step toward the podium with that cynical expression.

"Then I'll lead you through this special exam. Let's see what secrets this special exam holds!"

Ignoring Koenji's teasing words, Tenon announced to the whole class that she would be in charge of this special exam.

Seeing that Amane was standing on it, Hirata and the others all showed relaxed expressions, and the tense atmosphere that had just been there disappeared completely.

No one doubted that Tianyin was the perfect leader who could lead them to victory after victory.

"I didn't expect Miyako to have such a high reputation in Class A. I thought she would manage the class in a way similar to Ryuen."

Kanzaki originally thought that Amane was able to become the leader of Class A because, like Ryuen, she used violence to suppress those who were disobedient and rebellious, and then threatened the ordinary students to integrate the entire class. So when he first came to the class, he didn't dare to say much at all, because now that he had entered Class A, it was difficult for him to integrate into the existing cliques in Class A. He was afraid that he might say something inappropriate or get too close to a certain small group and cause Amane's dissatisfaction.

But after observing for so many days, Kanzaki discovered that Amane had never managed anything in the class. She just hung out with the girls all day, kissing and hugging them, and showed no signs of being a class leader.

Even now, Kanzaki feels the fervent trust that Class A has for Amane, a trust that far surpasses the fervent trust that Class B had for Ichinose. For a moment, Kanzaki even feels a little disoriented, as if he has returned to the time when Class B first started school...

"Because Tianyin's reputation is built up through one victory after another, and her strength is a tangible external power rather than an ethereal inner strength, it is only natural that she is admired, trusted, and relied upon, isn't it?"

Ichinose answered Kanzaki's question.

"I see. I didn't expect that even you, Ichinose, were conquered by Miyako's strength."

"Conquer, conquer? Kanzaki-san, how could you say something like that in public... although it seems like it is..."

Ichinose's voice grew softer and softer until she sat down, her face flushed, too embarrassed to say a word.

"Ichinose, why is your face so red? It's not shameful to be conquered by her strength, is it?"

Kanzaki looked at Ichinose with confusion, mistakenly thinking that Ichinose was blushing because she felt ashamed to be conquered by Amane, as she had once been a leader herself.

Little did Ichinose know that the scene that had just occurred to her was quite different.

With Amane standing beside her, Chabashira-sensei's complexion improved considerably. She then operated the tablet for a few moments before looking up at the students and speaking.

"I have sent the specific information about the special exam for all candidates to your tablets. There is less than an hour before the exam starts. If you have any ideas, you should make arrangements as soon as possible. In addition, you will only have four opportunities to go to the restroom during the break time during the exam, so please be sure to go to the restroom to take care of your personal needs before the exam starts."

After Ms. Chabashira finished speaking, she stood aside and gave up the center position on the podium to Amane. Amane walked to the podium, stood still, picked up her tablet, and began to look at the instructions for the "Special Examination for Unanimous Response".

The following are special instructions for the unified examination:

For the topics set by the school, all classmates must vote for the prepared options. It is strictly forbidden to leave a blank or peek at other people's options. If a blank is left, it will be assumed that no consensus has been reached and the next question cannot be moved on. If three consecutive blanks are left, the system will automatically select an option.

Anyone caught peeking at other people's choices will be disqualified from the competition and all rewards earned by their class in this special exam will be forfeited.

The rules are as follows:
