At the same time, in other classes.
Class D.
As soon as Sakagami Kazuma finished explaining the exam rules, the whole class's attention immediately turned to the same person.
——Ryuen Sho.
Although the emotions contained in these gazes are different, whether it is admiration, contempt, hostility, or worship, they all have one thing in common.
That is, there is a hidden fear.
In terms of cohesion, Class D may be slightly inferior to Class B among the four classes.
But if we only consider individual dominance, Class D led by Ryuen is undoubtedly ranked first among the first graders.
At least for now.
"It's really interesting that you actually have to get a class to vote together to kick someone out."
Ryuuen placed his legs straight and crossed on the table, standing still and sneering softly.
"It's just like choosing a living sacrifice from among forty people."
"..."
"..."
The eerie tone spread throughout the classroom, and many people shuddered subconsciously.
Everyone can see how terrifying Ryuuen is. If he were to specifically ask someone to drop out of school in this exam, the outcome would be almost certain.
No one wants to be a living sacrifice.
Sakagami Kazuma sighed helplessly and pushed his glasses up.
"Even though everyone thinks this exam is bullshit, if it were you, you would have already figured out what to do, right?"
"That's natural."
The sneer on Ryuuen's face widened further.
"But don't worry. I won't use you as living sacrifices for all those who obey me."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the classroom breathed a sigh of relief.
Ryuuen was satisfied with the result and continued.
"But as for those who have been trying to resist me until now, you have to be careful. Although only one person will be expelled from school this time, you never know who will be punished."
"Of course I will give you a chance. As long as you think it over and swear allegiance to me before the final assessment, I will forgive you for what you have done."
It can be said that a tyrant is indeed a tyrant.
While most people were thinking about how to get through the exam safely or how to save their companions, Ryuuen was thinking about using this exam to further enhance his dominance in the class.
……
Next is Class C.
Similar to the situation in Class D, after Mashima Tomoya read out the rules, most of the class's eyes focused on the same place, and without exception, they all fell on a petite silver-haired girl who exuded a fairy-tale-like dreamy temperament.
"Well, it sounds like a really unreasonable exam."
Arisu Sakayanagi had originally closed her eyes to rest, but now she slowly opened them and glanced at the whole class with a smile. Her frail and petite body emitted a powerful aura comparable to that of a queen.
She skipped all the discussion and made the final decision.
"I think the person who should drop out of this exam is Katsuragi Kōhei."
……
Finally, it’s Class B.
As Xing Zhimiya finished reading out the rules with an apologetic look on his face but speaking clearly and fluently, a small commotion immediately broke out in the classroom.
After all, they have come this far relying on their unparalleled unity, just like an extremely stable but complex structure.
Under normal circumstances, no matter what kind of external pressure they face, they can work together to fight against it, and they can get through any hellish special exam.
But this time is different. This time the pressure does not come from outside, but exists directly from within.
This was an outrageous test that required them to personally select the living sacrifice from among their classmates who had supported them throughout their journey.
And just as Chabashi Sae said, you can endure it, you can fight against it, but you can't escape from it, and there is no loophole to exploit.
"Ichinose...Ichinose..."
Kanzaki's deliberately lowered voice of calling reached her ears, causing the girl's eyes, whose pupils were slightly dilated, to fluctuate slightly.
Uh……
Her sight gradually refocused, and Ichinose Honami finally came back to her senses a little.
She looked around a little slowly and blankly, and finally her eyes fell on Ryuji Kanzaki who was sitting next to her.
"Are you okay? It turns out you've been under too much pressure lately..." Kanzaki looked concerned.
There is no doubt that everyone can see the huge pressure Ichinose has been under recently.
The rumors and personal attacks that have flooded the forums over the past week would be cyber bullying if it happened outside of school, and it would be enough to cause a person to have a mental breakdown.
Although most of the rumors have subsided recently, the attacks have not stopped. Instead, they have become more concentrated and frequent.
However, Ichinose never expressed a single complaint from beginning to end, and always looked gentle and confident, as if he was not affected by the rumors at all, and everyone else also thought so.
But now it seems that it has reached its limit.
"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."
As always, he smiled gently and shook his head. Ichinose took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and stood up to speak.
"Don't be nervous, please listen to me first..."
As soon as the core of the class spoke, the classroom quickly became quiet.
Ichinose Honami calmed herself down for a moment, then continued.
"Teacher Hoshinomiya has made it very clear that it is inevitable that there will be expulsions in this exam, but we can find a way to offset the expulsion penalty."
"Yes... it costs 20 million man points!"
Some people understood immediately.
Ichinose smiled and nodded.
"That's right, so please take out your phones and take screenshots of the points in your accounts, save them, and then transfer all your personal points to me. I need to do a total count right away."
As soon as the words fell, everyone in the classroom took out their mobile phones and started operating.
That’s right, this is the only tactic that Class B can use, and only they can use.
The same operation does not work in any other class.
On the other side, Ichinose also took out his mobile phone, opened the S system personal client and took a screenshot.
Compared with the account balance that Wu Yi saw in the library at that time, the personal points in Ichinose's account have now increased several times and reached a level of over 10 million.
Eleven million. This was the total number of points Class B had as of last month.
And with the entire class now remitting money at the same time, the number is still soaring.
Eleven million, two hundred thousand...eleven million, five hundred thousand...twelve million...
However, it wasn't long before the surge in numbers slowed down until it stopped completely.
It stopped at the million level.
"Eh?"
Ichinose was suddenly stunned, and was unusually a little panicked.
"Um, is there anyone who hasn't transferred points yet?"
No one answered.
Apparently, they were all transferred. In today's remittance record, except for Ichinose himself, the remaining 39 people in the class were included, and each person received 20,000 or 30,000 yuan.
Although the amount is small, it is indeed the only living expenses left for their entire class for the second half of the month.
But it's still not enough.
It's already February and the final exams are at the end of next month.
Twelve and a half million. Even with the pressure of zero living expenses for the rest of this month and the entire next month, the maximum personal points that can be raised before the final assessment is about 16 million.
That means there is still a full four million left.
Volume 257: Chapter Chabashira Sae's Obsession
Because of Wu Yi's words in the morning, Class A was shrouded in a rather strange atmosphere for the entire morning.
If we have to say it, we might be more inclined to be suspicious and wary of each other.
After all, for most of the students in the class who thought “as long as I don’t drop out of school” during the Paper shuffle exam, this was the first time they realized that there were traitors in the class.
In addition, Wu Yi made it clear that he would not give the traitor any chance to admit his mistakes. This is basically the same effect as the police telling the robbers who have taken hostages in a building to negotiate or they will not surrender or the tanks will be at their doorstep.
In that situation, the only thing the robbers would do is to shoot the hostages and then rush out to fight the police to the death.
The same is true for them. Everyone would worry that they would be framed as the "traitor" by the real traitor.
Just like that, time quietly came to the lunch break at noon.
Since Gaoyu High School has relatively loose control over students' lunch break discipline, students can move freely during this time as long as it does not affect the afternoon classes, so there are only a few people in the classroom.
In the corridor of the teaching building, Wu Yi was walking alone, with his hands in his pockets, slowly.
His destination this time was Chabashira Sae's office.
However, just as Wu Yi was about to reach the office, he suddenly stopped.
He saw someone leaning against the wall beside the office door waiting for him.
Sensing someone approaching, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka silently opened his eyes and glanced over, his eyes still as dead and lifeless as a dead tree.
"You came here specially to stop me. Is there something you want to talk to me about?" Wu Yi spoke first.
"Yes."
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka had a blank expression on his face.
"There's one thing I don't understand. This is clearly a great opportunity that man gave you to get me expelled from school. Why didn't you use it to target me, but instead prioritized dealing with the betrayer in the class?"
"Because I am willing to, is this reason enough?" Wu Yi was unmoved.
“This can’t be used as an excuse…”
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka seemed helpless.
Wu Yi raised his feet and walked over again, sneering at the same time.
"Well, it's not a particularly complicated reason, but I think with your way of thinking, you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to you. To put it simply, it's like the saying that reality can be illogical but fiction cannot be illogical."
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was silent for a moment because of these words.
"…So you're saying you're doing something illogical?"
"You see, that's why I said that even if I explained it to you, you wouldn't understand, because there's nothing but rationality in your head."
Wu Yi shrugged as if it was true.
"But it doesn't matter. After I deal with this matter, I will take good care of you when I have the chance. Then I can slowly explain to you the reason behind it... fake."
After saying that, he walked straight past Ayanokouji, pressed the office door handle and pushed the door open.
Click.
Closing the door behind him, Wu Yi sniffed softly, and a faint aroma of coffee wafted through the office.
Chabashira Sae was sitting at her desk, quietly reading a book with a cup of freshly brewed coffee beside her. When she heard someone come in, she raised her eyes and glanced at them, without any surprise in her tone.
"coming?"
"coming."
Wu Yi walked to the desk and gently placed his elbow on the edge of the screen, which was just above the head of the person sitting at the workstation.
"Teacher, you should know what I want to ask."
