Ok?
The SMS interface seemed familiar, and the content was almost identical to the one Karuizawa Kei received. The only difference was the group.
Karuizawa Megumi is in the Rabbit group, while Kushida Kikyo is in the Dragon group.
In other words, Kushida Kikyo was selected as the favored one of the Dragon Group.
Wu Yi took a quick glance and immediately covered the phone screen with his hand.
"Wait, are you sure you want to watch this here?"
"What does it matter? No one will come here in the morning anyway." Kushida Kikyo didn't care.
She was indeed right. At this time when everyone was having breakfast, there would not be many people in a semi-open cafe like this.
It is precisely because of this that she dares to boldly switch to a more relaxed mode in public.
However, Wu Yi looked at the other side of the ship leading to here.
"That's hard to say... Why don't you come out? The wind on the deck is a bit strong and the hem of your skirt is showing."
"what?"
Before Kushida Kikyo could react after he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of a graceful figure with long straight black hair walking out from behind the cover, still wearing her original over-the-knee black stockings.
"Hori...Horikita-san? Why are you here?"
Kushida Kikyo was stunned. She had been sitting here for so long and had not noticed the other person's presence at all.
Horikita Suzune still looked as if everyone owed her five million, and she didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed about being caught eavesdropping. She walked gracefully to the two of them with her long hair tossing, and sat down on the right side of Wu Yi.
"Nothing, I just saw you, who is in the same group with me, running to such a deserted place so early in the morning, and you looked like you were waiting for someone, so I was a little curious about who you were waiting for. I didn't expect it to be classmate Wu Yi."
"I couldn't tell for a moment whether you wanted to praise me or insult me..." Wu Yi scratched his forehead with his little finger, "But so, Horikita, you and Kikyo are in the same group?"
? ? ??? ???? ???? ? ???? ? ??
"That's right." Horikita Suzune didn't even raise her eyelids.
"Ah, that's great." Wu Yi clapped his hands. "By the way, can I ask who are the members of your Dragon Group?"
"…Why are you asking this?"
Horikita Suzune didn't refuse immediately, but just looked at him strangely.
And Wu Yi shrugged.
"Just find out. Anyway, the school doesn't have a rule that the list of group members cannot be disclosed to people outside the group. And you won't get pregnant if you ask."
"If I remember correctly, it should be——"
Without waiting for Horikita Suzune to answer, Kushida Kikyo on the other side pointed at the corner of her mouth with her index finger and tried to recall.
"There's Katsuragi-san from Class A, Kanzaki-san from Class C, and Ryuen-san from Class D is also there. Well, that's all I remember, the rest is..."
However, before she could finish her words, Horikita Suzune closed her eyes and recited the words by heart as if she was naming a dish.
"Class A has Kōhei Katsuragi, Ryoko Nishikawa, and Shinji Deba; Class C has Sayo Andō, Ryuji Kanzaki, and Hitomi Tsube; Class D has Sho Ryuen and Takumi Oda..."
As the names came out of the black-haired girl's mouth one after another with incredible accuracy, the expression on Kushida Kikyo's face became more and more surprised.
Only after all the names of the three classes in the group were reported did Horikita Suzune open her eyes and speak slowly.
"And the people in our class, me, Kushida-san, and Hirata-san, that's all."
"Wow~"
As if to express his amazement, Wu Yi clapped his hands quickly and slightly.
Kushida Kikyo also cooperated by putting on an expression of admiration.
"Wow, that's amazing! Horikita-san is so amazing that she can memorize all the names on the list!"
"It's nothing. Ever since the teacher said that the list cannot be taken out of the room, I realized that this list might be very important, so I memorized it." Horikita Suzune shook her head calmly.
Wu Yi glanced at Kikyo Kushida.
Based on his understanding of the latter, leaving aside the emotions expressed on the surface, his true thoughts are most likely as follows.
——I didn’t expect that the little bitch has a pretty good brain. It’s amazing that she has a good memory. Go to hell!
"Student Wu Yi, what are you thinking about now?"
A gentle female voice was heard, and when I looked in the direction of the voice, I saw the flawless smiling face of Kikyo Kushida.
I have to say that Kushida Kikyo's fake smile is absolutely professional, highlighting her sweetness and loveliness. Everyone who sees it will say it's good...but for some reason, there is some kind of ominous black aura emanating from behind her at this moment.
"It's nothing. I just sigh that your group is really a monster room. With both Katsuragi and Ryuen, the strength is really maxed out." Wu Yiyan said insincerely.
"Yeah~"
Hearing this, Kushida Kikyo couldn't help but sigh.
"To be honest, I don't have the confidence to hide my identity perfectly in front of them."
Hide your identity?
Catching the key words, a gleam flashed in Horikita Suzune's eyes.
Wu Yi seemed to suddenly think of something, he hissed slightly, and then snapped his fingers crisply.
"That's fine, wait a moment and let me try it out."
As he said this, he took out his cell phone and dialed a number under the puzzled looks of the two girls.
The call was connected within a few seconds, and a low and cold female voice came from it.
"It's me, what's up."
"Well, it's nothing actually. I just have something I want to ask you, Chabashira-sensei, about this special exam."
Wu Yi considered his words carefully.
"I want to ask, if I am not selected as a preferential candidate, can I switch to another group to take the exam?"
"No."
As expected, he refused outright.
Wu Yi did not give up. After a little thought, he added a condition.
"What about extra money?"
"That won't work either. What you said is impossible."
Chabashira Sae on the other end of the phone seemed to sigh helplessly.
"The exam list is fixed. There is no room for subsequent changes. That's it... If there is nothing else, I will hang up first."
"Ah wait!"
Wu Yi quickly stopped the call, and after confirming that the call was not hung up, his voice tone even rose slightly out of joy.
"Speaking of which, there is indeed one more thing..."
Volume 115: Chapter You are Karuizawa Megumi
Apart from Wu Yi herself, the only people who knew about the question asked on the phone were Kikyo Kushida, Suzune Horikita, and Sae Chabashira who was the answerer.
To be honest, he felt that his current behavior was a bit like "dragging".
This is a term invented in areas where gambling is legal, such as Las Vegas, Macau, Monte Carlo, etc.
Because even in those places where gambling is legal, the amount of money on each gambling table is limited, and exceeding it is illegal.
Especially for some Arab wealthy businessmen, they will only feel excited when they bet huge amounts of tens of millions of dollars.
In order to deal with such customers, casinos have invented the method of "dragging" a certain number of tables to circumvent the legal regulations on the upper limit of the amount, and to disperse the total amount to each table. In this way, the average amount on each table will not exceed the upper limit and will still be within the legal range.
Wu Yi is now dragging down the whole table.
He sat at the table of the Rabbit group and also sat at the table of the Dragon group.
If possible, he could even drag eleven tables to play together, which would surely be very interesting.
However, it is a pity that it is obvious that not all twelve favored persons will appear in Class B, and so far only Kikyo Kushida has come to him to ask for help.
Besides, even if he really went to find the Class B members from other groups, I'm afraid not all of them would agree to cooperate with them.
The time soon came to one o'clock in the afternoon.
Wu Yi arrived five minutes early as usual, no more, no less.
When he arrived at the second floor of the cruise ship, he saw that the doors of all the rooms were hung with signs with the twelve zodiac signs, from Rat to Pig.
Wu Yi found Mao Tu's room without even looking at the brand.
Because Yukimura, Sotomura, and Karuizawa Megumi were all waiting in the corridor, corresponding to the room with the U-tobbit sign, apparently waiting for him to arrive.
"What are you doing? Why are you all standing outside? Aren't you going in?"
Wu Yi walked over and asked jokingly.
Hideo Somura's fat face beneath his glasses was as tense as a samurai about to go into battle and kill the enemy.
"Of course it's because we are in the same class and we have to stick together through thick and thin!"
"Okay, okay..."
Wu Yi did not continue to argue with him. When passing by Karuizawa Kei, he gently patted the girl's shoulder, then passed by her, pressed the door handle and pushed the door open a crack.
Click, squeak——
The voice sounded, the door opened, and everyone in the room looked over.
Unlike yesterday when there were only five chairs in the room, there were nine more chairs in the room today, but ten of them had already been occupied, leaving only four empty chairs, which were obviously left for them.
"Ha, it seems we are the last group to arrive."
Wu Yi smiled and walked in first.
Ichinose Hoba, who was sitting with Class C, stood up immediately with a smile when she saw someone coming, and waved her hand with a smile like a host.
"It's OK. There are still five minutes before the start. We are not late. We just came early."
"That's right, they say the protagonist is always the last to appear."
Wu Yi shamelessly put a lot of gold on his face.
The pink-haired girl smiled without any malice, but the student sitting in the AD class area had a serious expression on his face after his eyes met someone, probably because some bad memories were awakened.
The last four people to arrive took their seats, and soon the broadcast in the room began to sound.
"Then let's start the first round of group discussion."
The sound spread throughout the entire cruise ship, presumably all the groups were taking this special exam at the same time.
However, no one spoke after the broadcast. The atmosphere in the not-so-narrow space was so dull that it seemed to be frozen.
Ichinose Honami looked around to make sure no one wanted to speak, then stood up and broke the silence.
"Well, although everyone should know each other's names, considering that some of us may be meeting each other for the first time, and the school also has instructions in this regard, I think it would be better for everyone to introduce themselves."
"This……"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was surprised.
It's not anything else. You have to know that this is Japan, where "reading the air" is a compulsory course in everyone's life. In this situation, any normal person would follow the crowd and remain silent.
"Is there any need to introduce yourself at this time?"
The person who spoke was a student from Class A, his name seemed to be Machida Koji.
Wu Yi had almost nothing to do with this guy. When the entire Class A was being chased by him on the uninhabited island, this guy just stood there like a minion, not daring to resist or even say a word. Unexpectedly, at this time, he would dare to jump out and contradict Ichinose in public.
"Besides, I don't think the school's so-called instructions are serious. In this case, those who want to introduce themselves can just come forward. That's it."
Anyone can see that the guy from Class A is very rude.
But Ichinose didn't take it seriously and just smiled kindly.
"If you insist on doing this, Machida-san, then I can't force you. But there might be a microphone secretly installed somewhere in this room. Such an act of openly defying the school's exam instructions might bring trouble to the entire group."
"I……"
When Machida heard that the whole group would be implicated, he was instantly embarrassed, and after a while he sat down silently.
Seeing that there were no opponents, Ichinose Honami began to introduce herself with confidence.
