The Special Exam of Choices Ends

Withdrawing her hand, Ichinose smiled slightly, "Let me make it clear first, my rock-paper-scissors skills are by no means weak, Shiki."

The fact that she was chosen to participate in this project, given her top academic ability, speaks volumes about her strength.

"But I'll be even stronger if I cheat."

Ichinose's hair and Aoyama playing rock-paper-scissors.

Morishita once asked him what his sure-win strategy was, and rock-paper-scissors was one of the games Morishita told him about.

"Rock, Paper, Scissors!"

"Rock, Paper, Scissors!"

Under the direction of Horikita Manabu, the former Student Council President who was invited to serve as referee, the playground quickly became lively.

"It seems I am the victor after all."

Zhang Da's palm enveloped Ichinose's outstretched fist, Aoyama easily defeated the supposedly very strong Ichinose.

The second one, the third one.

By the time he secured the triple kill, all twenty students in Class 1-B had been wiped out.

Back in the classroom, in the math exam with twenty students, Class A once again defeated Class B, securing their second victory. The remaining students from Class A who did not participate were Hashimoto, Kito, and Katsuragi.

Aside from Kito being slightly less academically gifted, Hashimoto and Katsuragi were talented individuals skilled in both academics and martial arts.

Students with mediocre athletic or academic abilities will definitely not be able to beat these three, so Class B must have strong students, but this will waste valuable resources.

After these three finish the competition, they will once again be part of Class A at its peak.

Thanks to Morishita and Sakayanagi's scheming, Class B has completely stumbled into a dead end.

Five to two.

This is the result of the duel between Class A and Class B.

Amikura, this docile sheep, was completely outmaneuvered by Sakayanagi, who played a game of "Sakayanagi's horse racing" (a Chinese idiom referring to a strategy of using the enemy's horses to outmaneuver them). Otherwise, with the strength of Class B, they could have won at least three games.

That evening, Class 1-A held a celebratory banquet for quite a while.

Sakayanagi, who still carries a cane and plans to surprise her returning father, suddenly finds herself unable to find Aoyama.

Meanwhile, Kamuro and Yamamura, the girls who were acquainted with Aoyama, were still in her sight.

"Recently, some people in the class have been saying that you're too arrogant."

"The reason why this Special Exam is so strict is also related to you."

On the balcony of the party room, Aoyama was looking out at the scenery with his back to the room, while a graceful figure was leaning against the sliding door behind him, which was closed with only a crack in it.

According to the report from the graceful figure, some students in the class were dissatisfied with his challenge to Class B and his provocation of the school, feeling that he shouldn't have offended the school.

However, under his strong authority, the dissatisfied students only dared to speak out in secret.

"Is there a leader?" Aoyama switched to the voice the girl behind him liked best.

With her long, light golden hair reaching her waist and a captivating, mature appearance, Shiraishi Asuka is his favorite chess piece.

There's nothing special about it except that it's free.

The reward for getting Shiraishi to work so diligently is simply to switch to her favorite voice and talk to her.

The gentle, magnetic voice used to soothe the fear of Sakayanagi on the Ferris wheel last time was one that Shiraishi had meticulously refined.

Shiraishi's gaze fell on the green-haired girl next to Katsuragi. "Totsuka- kun is the one who harbors the most resentment towards you, but I don't think it's to the point of being organized yet."

Because she appears to have no connection with Aoyama, she can sometimes hear sounds that Aoyama cannot.

Aoyama suddenly became curious, "If I drop out of Ayanokoji, and the mission is over, do you also want to drop out?"

From the moment she entered the school, Shiraishi was tasked with monitoring Ayanokoji, but she rarely did so because Ayanokoji's every move in Class C was controlled by Shiina, the leader of Class C.

Shiina would then pass on useful information to Aoyama, so she only did this task occasionally.

"No, I only obeyed Master Shirogane because I was repaying a debt of gratitude."

Lost in the gentle, magnetic voice, Shiraishi lowered his head, his expression one of pure enjoyment.

With such a beautiful voice here, how could she bear to drop out of school?

"Remember to report any moves by the so-called 'Shirogane Teacher' behind you recently." Aoyama knew that the organization behind Shiraishi was at odds with the White Room, but that was all he knew.

The newly appointed Acting Chairman, Tsukishiro, is currently working for the White Room, and he has already instructed Shiraishi to report this to his superiors.

Since they're not one of our own, we might as well take advantage of them.

In short, we can't let Tsukishiro cause too much trouble and continue with his biased Special Exam.

"Yes, I will, Aoyama -kun."

Looking somewhat regretfully at Nishikawa walking towards him, Shiraishi knocked on the sliding door behind him and stepped forward to greet him.

She wanted to say more to Aoyama, to listen more and more to that perfect, beautiful voice that belonged only to her.

"Found you."

Just as Aoyama was about to return to Kamuro, the sliding door to the balcony was opened.

The figure holding a cane leaned against him without any hesitation.

Chapter 301 Special Exam Ends

"Why are you looking for me?"

Reaching out, Aoyama patted Sakayanagi's head through his white beret.

After recovering from her heart condition, Sakayanagi has become increasingly clingy to him lately, claiming that she's trying to ascertain her true feelings.

"And the praise after the victory, Shiki." With her eyes half-closed, Sakayanagi leaned her head against Aoyama.

"Isn't victory something you take for granted?"

Aoyama smiled and spoke, and Sakayanagi, receiving his praise, also had a happy smile on her face, nuzzling her little head against him.

"Oh, right, I need to repay a small favor you owed me last time." After enjoying Aoyama's head pat for a while, Sakayanagi got down to business, "My birthday party is in a few days, and I think you'll be there Shiki."

Her father was only suspended from his job, he's not dead.

Using the privileged passage, allowing Tsukishiro to release two people from the school was no problem at all.

I don't want to go; it sounds like a hassle.

Upon hearing the word "banquet, "Aoyama knew that the event must be quite grand.

Perhaps guessing that he wouldn't like it, Sakayanagi directly offered to exchange it for a small favor.

"Then why don't you say you owe me a huge favor?"

"That's why I'm planning to let Shiki meet my father, so that he can repay the debt on behalf of his daughter."

"You've said everything you wanted to say, so go ahead."

Thinking it best to inform Sakayanagi Narimori in advance, Aoyama agreed to Sakayanagi's request.

The following Monday.

The optional Special Exam will begin at the scheduled time.

Before the first project for Class C and Class D was even finished, the battle between Class A and Class B had already ended.

Class A abstained twice, and Class B abstained five times.

Amidst the teachers' varied expressions, Class A emerged victorious in this Special Exam with a score of five to two. Subsequently, the exam coordinator from Class B, who was initially punished with expulsion, was given a relief of Twenty Million Personal Points.

Subsequently, students from Class A and Class B were sent back to their own classrooms to watch the live stream of the incompetent students from Class C and Class D fighting each other.

Under the direction of the mole, Maezono An, who was in charge of the exams for Class D came up with a brilliant strategy: they put Sudo in the written exam and the girls in the running race. As a result, Class C completely thrashed them.

7 to 0.

Today is destined to be a Special Exam that will be recorded in the annals of Kouiku.

"Kiyotaka, I'll be waiting for you outside. You must come find me when you come out."

After the exam, Maezono slumped in her chair for a while, then burst into Class C classroom with tears streaming down her face and threw herself into her boyfriend's arms.

"Poor thing, Maezono- kun."

Ayanokoji's indifferent expression as he held Maezono was completely absorbed in his gaze, and Shiina felt a faint pity for Maezono.

Before the exam began, she and Horikita had considered persuading Maezono to obey orders and cooperate with Ayanokoji to drop out of school, but she was clearly too engrossed in her mad love to listen.

The sentence I heard most often was that her world only consisted of Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, and only Ayanokoji Kiyotaka would truly treat her well.

"If you still have any compassion, you'd better show your true colors now." Under everyone's watchful eyes, Shiina walked up to Ayanokoji.

The only reason that Maezono, who is both irritable and unlovable, could become Ayanokoji's girlfriend is because she has value to be exploited.

After being dismissed, the Maezono lost its value.

In other words, no matter how much she longed for it outside of school, she would never see Ayanokoji again.

I don't understand what you're saying.

With a curt reply to Shiina, Ayanokoji continued in a voice loud enough for everyone to hear, promising to comfort the weeping Maezono.

Currently, the only team capable of competing with Class A is Class B, whose overall strength is not much inferior. To gain entry into Class B in the future, one must have a good image.

The persecution by Aoyama separated the lovers, making him a quintessential victim.

"What a terrible scumbag."

Noticing that Ayanokoji remained completely unmoved, Shiina returned to her seat.

That evening, she went to Aoyama's dormitory, intending to talk to him about the Special Exam.

Upon entering the room, she found that there were already two girls inside: one was Amikura Mako, the leader of Class B, and the other was Karuizawa, the leader of Class D.

Actually, Ayanokoji is a bit pitiful too; who can beat the current Shiki?

Thinking about the leaders of the four classes, Shiina realized that either Aoyama had chosen them or they were his girlfriends. She felt like laughing.

Although he doesn't have 100% mastery, Aoyama is already the uncrowned king of the first year.

"Do you think this game is the same whether I'm there or not?"

With one hand stroking a long ponytail, Aoyama spoke somewhat speechlessly.

As the four chatted about class affairs, Shiina suggested playing Ludo, saying it would be more fun to talk while playing.

After he could roll whatever number he wanted and kept chasing the three people's planes to eat them, he was stripped of his right to roll the dice and the three of them took turns rolling for him.

"It's all the Shiki's fault."

"Yeah, who told you to be such a pervert?" Amikura immediately echoed Shiina's words; of the three, her plane had been eaten the most.

One plane finally managed to take off, but before it could take more than two steps, it was caught up and eaten by Aoyama.

"The dice-rolling part can't be skipped, Mako."

Aoyama poked Amikura's slightly puffed cheek, then withdrew his hand amidst her shy and coquettish reproach.

While Aoyama and his companions chatted happily, Tsukishiro, on the other hand, was also enjoying a harmonious banquet, using the goodwill he had painstakingly built up to please everyone with a smile.

After the farcical and ugly Special Exam, the Kouiku Board of Directors was immediately convened by someone with ulterior motives.

The purpose, of course, is to target Tsukishiro, the Acting Chairman who has been causing chaos and disorder since taking office.

There were voices calling for his resignation, but there were also several people who strongly supported him, one of whom was at the banquet tonight.

"I'll also need to trouble Director Tsukishiro to take care of my son's matter."

"That's natural; your son is also quite handsome."

Tsukishiro clinked glasses with one of the directors who had a forced smile, and responded with a beaming smile.

"I don't think there will be a next time, Acting Chairman Tsukishiro."

When the banquet ended and the guests were being seen off, the director left a message for Tsukishiro before getting into his car.

Things shouldn't happen more than three times. Both the forest test and the optional test had problems, and he could still use being new to the job and unfamiliar with the process as a strong excuse.

But if problems arise again during the first Special Exam for the new students the following year, Tsukishiro, the Acting Chairman, will have to go home and sell sweet potatoes. No one can save him except for a powerful figure who can control everything.
