"Ah... Although I said I would take care of it, it still feels so troublesome..."
Before he could finish his sigh, someone sat down next to him. It was still Yukinoshita Haruno.
"Huh? I didn't expect there would be something that could give Wu Yi-san a headache. If you don't mind, could you tell me about it? I might be able to help with some advice, right?"
"what……"
The sigh stopped abruptly. Wu Yi remained lying on his back, tilted his head and looked at the girl for two seconds. Then he made a scissors hand gesture to her and stood up and sat down.
"That makes sense. They say three Zhuge Liangs can make a fool of themselves. It's a good opportunity for you, Yukinoshita, to come and help me with some advice."
As he spoke, Wu Yi repeated the question that Horikita Suzune had asked earlier.
Yukinoshita Haruno listened to every word. During the whole process, the expression on the girl's face gradually changed from seriousness at the beginning to thoughtfulness, then to as if she had understood something, and finally fixed on a confident smile.
"Well, it's actually very easy to solve this problem."
Yukinoshita Haruno looked around the classroom and lowered her voice slightly so that only the two of them could hear.
"First of all, we have to make it clear that we don't need to make the student from another village have a negative vote score. We just need to make his final score the lowest in the class."
"Secondly, as you said, even if Ryuen can gather all the positive votes from Class D to vote for Waimura, theoretically Waimura will get 39 negative votes and 40 positive votes, which will be counted as one positive vote."
"But if all other students in our class choose to fight with equal votes, the number of votes in the class alone will be three positive votes and two negative votes for each person, which will be calculated as one positive vote."
"Besides, if I remember correctly, you, Wu Yi, have a pretty good relationship with Sakayanagi from Class C. You can definitely ask Sakayanagi for help and have everyone in their class vote for everyone in our class according to their corresponding seatmates."
"Don't forget one more thing. Although you, Wu Yi, can still decide who will get the vote for Yamauchi and Chi who have already dropped out, there are only 38 people in our class. If we take the 40 votes of Class C as an example, we can even give two more votes to one of the remaining 37 people except for Gaimura, so as to decide the first place and get the protection points."
"Oh--"
After hearing what Yukinoshita Haruno said, Wu Yi couldn't help but applaud slightly.
As expected of a congressman's daughter, she is more perceptive than most people when it comes to vote manipulation.
"And the most important point."
Yukinoshita Haruno raised his index finger and said seriously.
"This is what you said before, Wu Yi. Although Long Yuan in Class D has a strong rule, there are people who resist him in the entire class. In reality, he may not be able to gather all the positive votes from outside. There will always be people who don't listen to him."
"Eh……"
Wu Yi nodded on the surface, but in her heart she was actually hesitant about the last point that Yukinoshita Haruno said.
After all, although he has always looked down on Long Yuan, there is only one thing that he still finds outrageous.
It was that Long Yuan actually managed to collect signatures from everyone in the class for a point transfer agreement worth 20,000 points per month when he first entered school.
That's taking money directly from the pocket of someone you just met.
Twenty thousand per month... If there was no good reason, even someone as united as Ichinose might not be able to do it, but Ryuuen actually did it.
We don't even have to spend real money now, we just need to vote collectively. It should not be difficult to use old methods to deal with new problems.
Out of similar considerations, Yukinoshita Haruno did not speak too confidently and added a sentence.
"But that's what I said. If you really want to be sure, it would be best to find out the inside information of Class D, such as finding someone to ask questions or something."
"Hiss, that makes sense."
Hearing this, Wu Yi seemed to have a flash of inspiration in his mind.
Qiaodou Madai, it seems that there is indeed a little fool who can be tricked by him.
Volume 280: Chapter : Fighting with the Air
In order to trick Ibuki more smoothly, Wu Yi went to the shopping mall after school and bought some snacks that the other person liked before returning to the dormitory.
After closing the door, Wu Yi changed his shoes, took out his cell phone and called the girl.
"Hey, Ibuki? Are you free right now?"
"……Now?"
Although separated by a phone, it is not difficult to imagine from the tone that the person on the other end must be frowning with a look of disgust.
"Besides, isn't today Friday? You should be spending time with your girlfriends, right?"
"Ah... they went shopping with other girls in our class today. They probably won't be back so early."
Wu Yi made up an excuse to get away with it, and then got back to the point.
"Let's get back to the topic. Ibuki, if you are free now, can you come to my dormitory? I have something I want to discuss with you."
"You want to discuss something? What is it? Can't you talk over the phone?"
Ibuki Mio was obviously a little reluctant.
Hearing this, Wu Yi pondered for a moment and deliberately raised the plastic bag in his hand to make a little noise.
"Actually, you can say that, but I bought some snacks today. Oh, and also some candy from Cai X Zhai. I remember you seemed to like it."
"……ha!?"
As if she heard something incredible, Ibuki Mio's voice on the other end suddenly rose an octave.
"Who said I like eating crispy candies? They're so powdery, dry, and damn sweet. How could I possibly..."
"Oh, so that's called crispy candy."
Just as the girl on the phone was chattering away trying to clarify, Wu Yi's faint words caused the call channel to instantly fall into silence, and even the sound of breathing disappeared.
After a brief pause, feeling that his emotions had almost built up, Wu Yi spoke again.
"Okay, come over here. I did buy a lot, and I can't finish it all by myself. Come and try it. If you like it, you can take some back."
"..."
Still silent.
After about two or three seconds, the call was hung up with a beep.
Putting down the phone, Wu Yi curled his lips as he looked at the dim words "Call Ended" on the screen.
She is such an easy-to-understand tsundere. Okay, let's just wait for her to come over...
As Wu Yi was thinking this, just as he put down the snacks he bought from the shopping mall and set up a kettle of water to boil for tea, the doorbell rang at the entrance.
Ding-dong-
……Um?
I didn't expect it to come so quickly. Wu Yi pressed the boil water button on the kettle, walked out of the kitchen and came to the door. He opened the door and saw that the person standing outside was indeed a proud girl with short blue hair.
Emmmm~
Wu Yi didn't say anything, and Ibuki Mio didn't say anything either. She just stared at him stubbornly with her purple eyes, as if she was planning to have an impromptu "see who blinks first" competition... Well, the prerequisite for doing this is to first confiscate someone's sunglasses to prevent him from cheating by blinking wildly under the cover of the sunglasses.
"Uh, come in."
With no intention of continuing the game, Wu Yi opened the door and motioned for him to come in.
With Ibuki Mio's personality, she naturally wasn't polite at all. She walked straight into the room and started to change her shoes skillfully next to someone.
"Please sit down for a while. I'm still boiling water."
Wu Yi said this and was about to go back to the kitchen.
"By the way, Ibuki, are you coming here from the dormitory?"
"...can't you?"
The arrogant girl with short blue hair asked back.
"It's not impossible, it's just a little unexpected."
Wu Yi's voice came from the kitchen.
"After all, it's only the first weekend of March, and the school just distributed the monthly points. I thought you would go shopping and buy something like Hui and the others."
"I don't do things that waste time."
Ibuki Mio appeared at the kitchen door as she spoke. She first looked at Wu Yi, who was taking tea leaves from a can and putting them into a teacup with his back to her at the stove, and then her eyes fell on the plastic bag on the stove on the other side.
As the latter said, a lot of crispy candies were indeed bought.
"It's all in a plastic bag. Open it and try it."
The water boiled and the electric kettle automatically cut off the power. Wu Yi picked it up from the base and poured water into the teacup with one hand while speaking without turning his head.
Ibuki Mio originally wanted to remain reserved, but after thinking it over, she took the plastic bag.
"I'll take it outside first..."
After saying this, the girl turned and left the kitchen.
A moment later, Wu Yi also walked out of the kitchen with two cups of freshly brewed tea in her hands.
At this time, Ibuki Mio already had two unwrapped candy wrappers in her hands, and she had eaten them all cleanly without any powder left... because all of it was left at the corners of her mouth.
Putting one of the cups of tea in front of her, Wu Yi also sat down with the cup in her hand, took a piece of crispy candy, opened it and put the whole thing into her mouth.
In an instant, the soft, sweet taste fills your entire mouth.
"So it's almost time to get down to business. What exactly is it that you called me over for?"
This is the third piece of candy I unpacked, Ibuki Mio said calmly.
"It's nothing particularly important."
Wu Yi took a sip of the tea which was still a little hot and organized his words.
"It's about tomorrow's voting test. Ibuki, you have a vote for external appreciation, right? I want you to vote for me. Of course, I will also give you my vote... although it may not be of any use."
While saying this, he was paying close attention to Ibuki's facial expressions.
Although she usually has a stern face and looks like she doesn't want anyone to come near her, Wu Yi knows very well that this girl is simply socially anxious and not good at communicating with others. She is the type that can't even deceive people.
"Vote for you? What are you going to do?"
Ibuki Mio didn't hesitate at all, she was just a little confused.
"You want protection points?"
"Yes~"
Wu Yi spread his hands in a helpless manner.
"You know, although I am the leader of Class A on paper, my popularity in the class is not as high as you think. And according to the last training camp, there may be exams that require someone to be the 'person in charge' in the future, so I have to give myself a layer of insurance... It's not easy to get votes from within the class now, so I can only look for external help."
"Who did you look for?"
"Not many. Ichinose, Arisu, and that's it. So I'm in a state where I'll get as many votes as I can."
"That's it..."
Ibuki Mio nodded simply.
"Got it. I'll vote for you tomorrow."
"……what?"
"What is the problem?"
"Do not……"
Wu Yi was speechless for a moment.
"I thought you were going to tell me that all your votes have been bought by Long Yuan. I feel like he's the type of person who would use everything to gain as much benefit as possible. Didn't he tell you that he made a deal with someone to vote for so-and-so as the foreign aid?"
"No."
Ibuki Mio gave him a strange look and repeated it.
"Not a word."
"...Okay, that's fine."
Volume 281: Chapter You are just satisfying yourself
The next day.
Although it was Saturday, all first-year students gathered in their respective classrooms before 8:30 because they had to take the final assessment of the additional special exam.
There is still half an hour before the voting officially begins, but before that, except for Class B, which planned to spend 20 million points to protect all students from the beginning, all other classes have already decided on the candidates who will be expelled.
It’s just that some have been blatantly put on the table, while others are not yet planned to be announced and will be revealed after the final results come out.
