"Well, maybe the barista's skills are not good enough?"
"Are you sure you didn't drink it secretly with the spoon?" Wu Yi glanced at her.
"Hmm, so that's what you think."
The white-haired loli tilted her head, pretended to think in distress for a few seconds, then raised her face and stretched out her hands.
"Then... do you want to confirm it yourself?"
Volume 178: Chapter Strength is supreme? Just a half-assed
As the saying goes, the most complex ingredient tests often only require the simplest testing methods.
Only after personally confirming that there was indeed no coffee taste in the girl's mouth did Wu Yi sit down next to her.
And Sakayanagi Arisu immediately moved to the side to make the distance between the two closer.
"Huhuhu~"
"…What's wrong? Why are you smiling so happily?"
Wu Yi was somewhat surprised by the girl's sudden pride.
"Well, you'll find out soon enough."
Licking his lips as if he was still unsatisfied, Arisu Sakayanagi took out his cell phone, retrieved a document file, opened it and placed it in front of Wu Yi.
Wu Yi took a closer look.
There is no doubt that this is a set of test questions.
Moreover... it was a set of questions that was quite difficult.
Wu Yi was a little curious.
"Is this the test paper that your class prepared for, Arisu? You finished it so quickly?"
"Of course not."
Arisu Sakayanagi smiled and shook his head, his eyes still revealing a little pride.
"To be honest, this test paper was actually given to me by Ryuen-san."
"Ryūen?"
An expression of "excuse me" flashed across Wu Yi's face for a moment.
To be honest, with Long Yuan's crappy academic ability, if he could come up with such test questions, he would rather believe that these questions were copied from the Internet... But the problem is that this crappy school can't access the outside Internet.
"It's true~"
A certain white-haired loli added lightly.
"Emmm, okay."
Out of trust in his childhood sweetheart, who had evolved from a cousin to his beloved, Wu Yi accepted it for the time being.
"So why did he give you this set of test questions? Was he planning to have your class B use this set of questions to attack some other class?"
"That's really clever. Yes, that's the truth."
Sakayanagi Arisu said this, and his gaze continued to be directed towards someone firmly.
Wu Yi pondered for a moment and his expression changed slightly.
What I want to say is stuck in my
“…Okay, so that’s how it is.”
After he finished speaking, Wu Yi immediately became confused again.
"But then again, since he has such a set of test questions, why doesn't he just designate to attack Class C himself, instead of going through so much trouble to find you and ask you to take the test?"
What's the point? Just for fun?
Special exams and such are not important, the main thing is to give some points to Class B?
When this topic was brought up, Sakayanagi Arisu chuckled again.
"Well, I'm not sure about that, but Ryuen-san's request is very simple. As long as I use this test paper to attack Class C in Paper Shuffle, if the attack is successful, Class B will get 50 class points, but in exchange, I need to pay Ryuen-san 200,000 personal points every month in the future."
Two hundred thousand individual points, based on a class of forty people, would mean five thousand per person per month, which corresponds exactly to the income of fifty class points.
"I always feel like my patent has been plagiarized..." Wu Yi touched his chin, "By the way, have you signed the contract?"
"of course."
As Sakayanagi Arisu spoke, she swiped her finger across the screen and pulled out a photo from the gallery. It was a photo of the contract she had signed with Ryuuen, with all the terms clearly written in black and white.
It is indeed only after "the attack is won" that the contract for monthly payment of personal points will take effect.
In other words, if Class B fails to pass this test and steal 50 class points from Class C, then Class B does not need to pay Ryuen personal points.
"Not bad, not a loss." Wu Yi commented seriously.
After hearing this answer, Sakayanagi Arisu turned his head and looked up at him for a while, then suddenly smiled helplessly.
"I thought you would have some reaction no matter what I said... Hmm."
The white-haired loli's voice stopped abruptly before she could finish her words.
Wu Yi used his two index fingers to poke and press the girl's tender cheeks on both sides.
"How do you want me to react? After seeing this paper, I immediately ran back to the classroom in tears, crying as if I were facing a great enemy, and yelled, "Oh no! That bastard Long Yuan came prepared. We are doomed to lose this time? How is it possible... It's nothing more than losing some class points. You said it as if I care about those class points."
If the same words were spoken by someone else, eight or nine out of ten people would probably think that person was just showing off, but for Wu Yi, that was really the case.
For him, the only use of class points is to get some pocket money every month, but at the same time, he really does not need the pocket money income from the fifty class points.
"Of course I didn't mean that..."
Sakayanagi Arisu turned his head and gently bit the index finger that someone extended.
"I mean, don't you think there is someone behind Long Yuan who is instructing him to do this?"
"I know, it's Nanyun, who else could it be?"
Wu Yi still had an indifferent expression on his face.
"I guess they made some kind of deal behind the scenes... No, I should say that Nagumo was unilaterally deceived by Ryuuen, but I don't care. For me, it doesn't matter even if I fall back to Class D."
"That's true, but Nanyun will find out about this sooner or later, right?" Sakayanagi Arisu seemed to be referring to something else.
"Nanyun?" Wu Yi thought for a moment, "He's just a naughty kid."
"what?"
The silver-haired girl was a little surprised.
The main reason was that Wu Yi seldom cursed people, and most of the time she would just do it in a joking manner. This seemed to be the first time in her memory that she had defined someone in an absolutely derogatory way.
"I didn't scold him, I just stated the facts."
Wu Yi picked up the slightly cold coffee and took a sip to moisten his throat.
"Just look at his appearance and you'll know. He's arrogant and conceited. In the eyes of others, he may have the capital to be so, but in my opinion, he's nothing..."
"There are so many smart people in this world. If you think you are so awesome and powerful and you are so arrogant and show off everywhere, then others won't listen to reason with you. They don't even need to compete with you. They can just spend more money to find a professional to get rid of you."
“If we can’t solve the problem, then isn’t it easier to solve the people who created the problem?”
"So when I heard him talk about creating a school that absolutely values strength over everything, I wanted to laugh. A kid who hasn't even left the school gate is talking about strength over everything. To put it bluntly, he's not competing within the scope of the rules. With a personality like his, it wouldn't be surprising if he gets sunk into Tokyo Bay one day."
Wu Yi shrugged meaninglessly.
"Well, I'm not his father anyway, so I won't tell him this kind of thing out of kindness. But if that guy falls down in front of me like a defeated dog one day, I might discuss this profound philosophy of life with him."
“I sincerely look forward to that day.”
Arisu Sakayanagi raised his glass with a smile.
Volume 179: Chapter : Sakura Airi's Spring
As in every special exam, this time Chabashira Sae continued her habit of speaking unclearly.
To put it simply, she clearly said everything she should have said, but it felt as if she hadn't said anything.
Especially the part about the small test a week later. Although it was implied that the result of the small test would be linked to the special exam at the end of the semester, in the end it only stated that if you take leave for some reason and cannot take the exam, the school will estimate the score based on the result of the small test.
It can’t be said that nothing was revealed, but it always gives people a feeling that “she must be hiding something.”
So taking into account the particularity of this exam, and out of consideration for the usual nature of this school, in order to avoid students being judged as useless due to poor performance in the quiz, and being sacrificed in the final special exam by the school to be partners with other poor students, and eventually both of them dropping out, almost everyone treated this quiz with an attitude of giving it their all.
Time quickly came to a week later.
Just like the first day after the midterm exam, Chabashira Sae came to the classroom early in the morning with a spreadsheet printed with the class's grades.
Because it was a cloudy day, there was no bright sunshine shining through the windows into the classroom even in the morning.
The female teacher, who felt the tense atmosphere in the classroom as soon as she entered the room, which was as dark as the sky outside the window, couldn't help but shook her head.
"Why do you all have such expressions? Didn't I tell you that the results of this small test will not affect any of your individual assessments? This is an indisputable fact."
So what will it affect?
Most people had this expression on their faces.
Chabashira Sae then shrugged and said, "Forget it. It doesn't matter if I tell you now. I think many people in the class should have noticed that the results of this small test will actually be linked to the selection of the team for the final special exam."
As she spoke, the female teacher walked down to the podium under the expectant gaze of the students below the stage, and used a magnet to stick the large form in her hand onto the blackboard.
"See? These are the scores of all of you on the quiz. To make statistics and matching easier, we've added a column for average scores at the end. The matching mechanism for the final special exam is this: the first place is paired with the last place, the second place is paired with the second to last place, and so on."
The first and last pairing...
Upon hearing this was the pairing method, the good students were all stunned, while some of the poor students were delighted.
It is said that a good blacksmith must have strong tools himself. Before this rule was announced, the poor students were quite panicked.
Because they are not clear about the specific matching mechanism, they are all afraid that they will become the "sacrifice" of the matching mechanism due to lack of strength.
But now it seems that this is obviously not the case, because the worse they are, the stronger the players they can match with.
And according to the information previously revealed by Chabashira-sensei, the passing requirements for Paper Shuffle this time are not too harsh. Theoretically, as long as both of them score around 40 points each, they can pass.
Especially people like Yukinoshita Haruno and Yukimura Teruhiko, who always rank at the top of the class, basically get full marks of 100 in every exam.
If I could find a big guy like this to guide me, I would be able to pass the exam even if I handed in a blank paper, unless something unexpected happened.
Wu Yi took a quick look and found that the difficulty of the questions in this quiz was not very high, and it could even be said to be a bit on the low side, so the top five on the scoreboard almost all scored full marks in all subjects.
Similarly, since everyone got full marks, ranking doesn’t matter.
For example, this time, the person ranked first by Chabashi Sae is Horikita Suzune, and the last one is... Karuizawa Megumi.
Hui, why are you so embarrassing?
After complaining in his mind, Wu Yi continued reading.
Different from others who tried their best, this time he still continued with his lazy habit of "it's okay just to be almost there, no need to do all the questions", so his ranking on the list was not high and he was ranked eleventh.
Well, this means he is matched with the eleventh from the bottom.
So the question is, who is the eleventh from the bottom?
Wu Yi started counting down from the back.
Megumi Karuizawa, Maya Sato, Ken Sudo...
Soon, when he counted all the way forward to the eleventh row from the back, a familiar name came into view.
Sakura Airi.
Oh yeah?
Wu Yi was a little surprised.
Sakura Airi's grades are actually pretty good in Class C. In the school's assessment, her academic ability is at a C+ level, which is above the average level for ordinary people.
But her academic imbalance is too serious.
If we only consider academic subjects, Sakura Airi's grades would be among the best in her grade, but her performance in science exams is also really disappointing.
I didn't expect that I would be in the same group with you this time.
Thinking of this, Wu Yi subconsciously looked in the direction of the girl.
