"How about it, Wu, do you want me to share this method with you?" Kouenji coquettishly moved the golden hair that fell on his forehead, "But I think you should have already known who the preferential treatment in your group is, right?"
"I know, so please don't tell me." Wu Yi squinted at him, "I'm really enjoying this Werewolf game. Don't make me do this. It will be completely boring."
"Really? That's fine~"
After receiving a rejection, Kouenji was not discouraged. He just shrugged and walked straight to the door.
Wu Yi also stepped aside to let him leave.
Yukimura stood there with his mouth open, stunned.
"You...you just let him go like that?"
"Why not?"
Wu Yi looked puzzled.
"Are you going to let me stop him, and then you go up and battle him? I told you that you can't beat him."
"We can't just let him go like this..."
Yukimura still wasn't convinced.
Wu Yi sighed, "Didn't I say before that the candidates for preferential treatment in this exam were most likely selected according to some special rules? Especially when the rules were explained at the beginning, they were clearly grouped according to the twelve Chinese zodiac signs. Normally, the order is rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, and then dragon. However, there was a gap of nearly three hours between our rabbit group and dragon group. It's obvious that this was done intentionally by the school."
"I see. So, as long as there are enough examples, we can find the pattern, right?"
Hirata Yosuke nodded in agreement, took out his cell phone, typed a line of words on the notepad and showed it to Wu Yi.
[The Dragon Team is Kushida-san, and the Horse Team is Minami-san].
He probably made this decision based on what Kouenji said before. After all, if there is only one case of a pattern, it would be a stupid guess. Two cases could just be coincidences, but three or more cases would be very convincing.
The two identities of the favored persons that Hirata brought up, plus the identities of the favored persons in the Rabbit Group that Wu Yi knew about, added up to exactly three.
Of course, he didn't know that Wu Yi had actually known for a long time that Kikyo Kushida was the one who was favored.
"How about this? Can you tell anything?"
"Emmm, I have something to do with Hui, so...bye!"
The corners of his mouth twitched for a while, Wu Yi said this, and then quickly disappeared at the door of the room.
Although he said this, Wu Yi couldn't help but think about it a little on the way to the girls' dormitory.
According to the order of the twelve zodiac signs, the dragon should indeed be ranked after the rabbit. If the romanizations of the two names, Karuizawa Kei and Kushida Kikyou, are connected, it would be "Karuizawa Kei" and "Kushida Kikyou".
Well, the last name doesn't seem to be anything special, but what about the first name?
Kei and Kikyou correspond to the fourth zodiac sign, Rabbit, and the fifth sign, Dragon...Huh? Masaka?
For a moment, a strange possibility flashed through Wu Yi's mind.
Wait, so Nan's name seems to be... If it matches, then doesn't that mean...
No, no, no, I can’t think about it anymore. I’m going to die with this intelligence and talent that has nowhere to go.
Wu Yi slapped his forehead twice to stop himself from thinking any further, then took out his cell phone and walked towards the girls' dormitory while distracting himself.
Volume 121: Chapter Hui's Counterattack
"Excuse me, is Hui here?"
When Wu Yi appeared at the door of the girls' dormitory, he had two cans of Ovaltine in his hands. He had just bought them from a vending machine on the way here and they were still hot.
The girl who opened the dormitory door due to the knocking sound turned inside the dormitory after hearing this.
"Karuizawa-san, your boyfriend is here to see you~"
“…I’ll be right there.”
Huh?
Wu Yi was a little surprised when he heard the familiar voice coming from inside the door a little further away.
Karuizawa's tone actually sounded no different from usual. Apart from a bit of inevitable dullness, there was nothing unnatural about it.
I thought her roommate would tell me that Karuizawa was crying a lot after opening the door, but it seems like she hid it pretty well.
About a minute or two later, Karuizawa Kei came out of the room. Her bangs had obvious signs of being lifted up for a long time, and there were still some white debris on the edges of her cheeks near the roots of her hair.
It looks like you just put on a facial mask?
"…What are you doing here?"
When the girl saw someone in the corridor outside the door, her eyes obviously avoided.
Wu Yi shook the Ovaltine in his hand towards her.
"I have something to talk about?"
"..."
Karuizawa Kei was silent for a while, and it was obvious that she didn't really want to agree, but she finally reached out and took the can of Ovaltine.
Wu Yi smiled.
"Let's go."
So the two of them left the cabin and came to the open-air third-floor observation deck outside the cruise ship.
The sea breeze is blowing, the sky is full of stars, there is no one around, only a man and a woman.
Wu Yi opened the can with one hand, and with a flick of his finger the pull ring flew far away and fell silently into the sea.
"Manabe has already told me that after the first round of talks tomorrow afternoon, we will all find a place to sit down and meet together... Of course, the place will be as hidden as possible so that no one else will know about it." He said after taking a sip of Ovaltine.
Karuizawa Megumi did not answer immediately, nor did she make any movement. She just held the aluminum can with both hands.
The night sea breeze was slightly cool, and the girl's hands became slightly cool as well. The can of Ovaltine, which had not yet cooled completely, seemed to be the only source of heat in the snowstorm.
"Why does it sound a bit like... a witch trial?"
A calm voice came out from Karuizawa Kei's lips, which even she herself could not believe, and there was a hint of self-deprecation in her coldness.
"Besides, you've already decided to stop caring about me, so what's the point of coming to talk about this at a time like this?"
"It doesn't mean anything. I have to be loyal to the person who entrusted me with the task. This is the most basic spirit of the contract."
Wu Yi said without hesitation.
"Since you have made an agreement with others, you must do it well. Everyone must pay the price for their actions... By the way, do you know what kind of people I despise the most?"
As he said this, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something and turned to look at the girl beside him.
Karuizawa Kei pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled miserably.
"…You mean to say this about me?"
Perhaps feeling that a direct answer was a bit too cruel for an underage girl, Wu Yi turned her head away and took another sip of Ovaltine.
“Everyone in this world makes mistakes, and the mistakes they make are all kinds of strange. This is normal, but there are only two generally recognized ways to admit mistakes.”
"The first one is the most common and most applicable to most people. Just stand at attention and take the beating. The second one is when you have enough power and others cannot make you pay a price. Then you can proudly and openly say, "I did it, so what?"
"I don't know if you have any grudges with the girl named Lihua from Class D, but it is obvious that the second way of admitting mistakes does not apply to you."
"If someone who is not strong enough insists on choosing the second method, that is not admitting a mistake, it is simply shamelessness that refuses to admit it."
After saying the last sentence, Wu Yi stopped talking, and Karuizawa Kei also remained silent.
A few minutes later, he tilted his head back, drank the last sip of Ovaltine, and stood up to leave.
"Wait...wait a minute."
Ok?
Hearing a voice behind him, Wu Yi stopped and turned around.
The next second, a body with a slight scent of cosmetics slammed into his arms, with such force that Wu Yi almost subconsciously wanted to use a counterattack.
But he still forced himself to hold back.
A can filled with brown sweet drink fell to the ground with a clang, and Karuizawa Kei used almost all her strength to hug it around the waist.
"Don't go... I will apologize to Lihua tomorrow... So, don't go..."
Without waiting for Wu Yi to say anything, she started talking on her own.
"I was in a bad mood during that time because you were so close to Kushida..."
"So I was really afraid that you would leave me soon, and you also know that I have no ability at all and am just a coward, so I could only pretend to be tough in front of other people... whether it was cutting in line or bumping into people..."
"I know it's contradictory to say this, but it's the truth..."
"Because I am very weak, if I want to avoid being bullied, I can only pretend to be strong..."
"Once someone identifies me as someone they can bully, it's too late to do anything. This is my only way to survive, so... I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Repeating it over and over again, in the end, Karuizawa Megumi turned into a repeater who could only say sorry over and over again. The moist and warm touch penetrated the thin shirt and hit her skin directly.
Wu Yi didn't feel annoyed when he heard this. On the contrary, he could understand the girl's mood at the moment.
Perhaps it was because he was trained as the next patriarch of the Wu clan since he was a child, his mental maturity was far beyond his peers at a very young age, so he would not think that this was the so-called "weakling" like some fighters who practiced martial arts too much and got confused.
To quote DIO: A king has the talents of a king, and a cook has the talents of a cook.
If being good-looking can be considered a talent, then Karuizawa Megumi's talent is undoubtedly higher than that of of people in the world.
If I had to describe her, she is like a beautiful yet delicate flower that can bloom beautifully and attract attention in a greenhouse, but once placed in a harsh environment, she will immediately decay and wither and die.
"It's good that you think so. Anyway, I will go with you tomorrow."
Wu Yi's voice was calm.
"Okay, you can let me go now."
Karuizawa Kei's body trembled slightly, and she raised her head slowly in disbelief.
"Wu Yi, do you still think that I'm telling you all this so that you can continue to be my bodyguard?"
"..."
Wu Yi didn't say anything, but just tilted his head expressionlessly.
Is not it?
He expressed this through his body language.
"Of course not! How is that possible!" Karuizawa Kei suddenly became excited.
"I admit that I did plan like this at the beginning, but have you ever seen a fake couple who would get upset just because they saw their partner getting close to other women, or take a photo of the tattoos they put on their private parts and send it to their partner? Do you have any emotional intelligence?"
"After all, it's not because of me..."
The girl seemed to be yelling unreasonably for a long time, but her voice suddenly softened at the end.
Clear tears ran down her cheeks, and her eyes were filled with heartbreaking tenderness, like the bright moon reflected in the sea.
"It's because I really fell in love with you later."
Taking advantage of the brief moment when Wu Yi was stunned by the excessive amount of information, Karuizawa Hui no longer hesitated, jumped up on her toes, and wrapped her arms around his neck.
The lips merged at this moment.

The stinky sister fought back fiercely (funny)
Volume 122: Chapter Don't leave me behind again
The next day, afternoon.
"That's all for this afternoon's discussion. See you all tonight~"
Still in the Rabbit Group's room on the second floor of the cruise ship, as the voice announcing the end of the discussion time sounded over the radio, Ichinose Hoba, who had become the host of the Rabbit Group's discussion, stood up and packed up her things while announcing the disbandment with a smile.
Not surprisingly, today was another day in which there was no progress in the discussion on the status of the favored.
With Class A defending their hard-core Malphite and Class B completely giving up and not even knowing what they are, even someone as talkative as Ichinose could only ramble on about insignificant things during the discussion.
To be honest, the only class she could be sure of not having any preferential treatment was probably Class D.
The main reason was that the IQs of those three were really not that high, and none of them had been chosen to be the favored ones, so they were quite relaxed during the chat and didn't even bother thinking about the set words.
However, at present, if Ichinose intends to continue using this tactic to death, the progress bar will basically be stuck here and will not move anymore.
Since the first round of discussion today has ended, Wu Yi naturally has no reason to stay here any longer.
