Yi Chen returned to his room and began to think.

Karuizawa being bullied was a stage provided by Ayanokoji.

When was it? Which night was it?

Yi Chen opened his phone and saw it was 8:30 PM.

A knock sounded at the door.

Yi Chen opened it to find Ichinose.

Ichinose's face was flushed as she said:

"Hi, Yi Chen-kun, good evening."

Yi Chen nodded indifferently and invited Ichinose into the room.

Yi Chen sat on his bed, leaning against the wall.

Ichinose also sat on the bed, leaning against Yi Chen.

Ichinose said sweetly:

"Yi Chen-kun, did Kanzaki tell you about the plan today?"

Yi Chen said indifferently:

"I know."

Ichinose:

"As of now, this is the best way to help Yi Chen-kun transfer classes."

Yi Chen said indifferently:

"Thanks, Ichinose. I already know the identities of the VIPs for this exam."

"So, I have a new plan."

Ichinose looked at Yi Chen in shock:

"Yi Chen-kun, you're joking, right?"

Yi Chen said indifferently:

"The people in our class seem to be different from your other classes; I already know the two VIPs in our class."

Ichinose looked at Yi Chen with rapt attention.

Yi Chen continued:

"The VIPs in our class are Saturn Sudo Ken and Mars Karuizawa. Your Class B VIP is Mercury Shiranami Chihiro."

"If you list the names of all members in the groups of these three people and arrange them according to the distance of the eight planets from the sun."

"From nearest to farthest, Mercury is the first, which happens to be Shiranami Chihiro, and so on."

Upon hearing this, Ichinose looked at Yi Chen with excitement:

"That actually seems to be true! To think you'd just tell me like that, Yi Chen-kun."

Yi Chen said indifferently:

"What does it matter? We'll be in the same class eventually anyway."

Ichinose looked at Yi Chen happily:

"Then, since Yi Chen-kun already knows, how do you plan to arrange this exam?"

Yi Chen said indifferently:

"Regarding the VIP information, if other classes also know their own VIPs like we do."

"They will be able to analyze it soon enough; it's just a matter of time."

"Class C currently has 490 class points, and Class D, including the points from the Uninhabited Island, has reached 310 points."

"If we don't lose points for daily conduct, we still need about 200 class points to promote to Class C."

"Assuming our own class's VIPs get us penalized, I need to correctly identify two VIPs from other classes to offset it."

"Since we are answering in the first round tomorrow, we are the earliest."

"Class A and Class C will be deducted 100 class points."

"Our class's two VIPs will be answered by your Class B, and then you can share one VIP with everyone to gain private points."

"The other VIP will be answered by our Class D."

"Class B gains 50 class points."

"Class D deducts the 100 points from Class B's answer and gains 150 points from this exam."

"Class D will have 460 class points, and Class C will have 390 class points. Our Class D will promote."

"Of course, this is assuming we promote."

"If the goal is only to gain private points, there is a 50% chance that other classes will guess the VIPs ahead of time."

"Setting aside the fact that Class B got all the answers right for Mars and Saturn, our Class D stands to gain 8 million private points."

"If you exclude Mercury and Jupiter, your Class B stands to gain 6 million private points."

"If all of that were given to me, I could transfer classes very soon."

After saying this, Yi Chen looked at Ichinose indifferently.

Ichinose sat with her knees pulled to her chest, lost in thought.

Ichinose said slowly:

"Yes, that is the best result under ideal conditions. If any class answers ahead of time, we won't be able to obtain such a huge amount of points."

"I don't know how long it will take for Yi Chen-kun to transfer to Class B."

"So, what kind of outcome has Yi Chen-kun chosen to spend this exam with?"

Yi Chen said calmly:

"The possibility of everyone obtaining private points together is very small. Class A and Class B might choose not to report other classes for the sake of points."

"But what about Class C?"

"Therefore, once the discussion begins tomorrow, this exam will be over."

"Class D will rise to Class C, and Class B will receive 50 points."

Ichinose looked a bit bitter:

"Is that so? I had hoped that everyone could be peaceful and all obtain points."

"But what Yi Chen-kun said makes sense. It's impossible for every class to cooperate for the sake of private points."

"Then let's do as Yi Chen-kun says."

"I will go back and discuss it with the people in my class to see."

Yi Chen said calmly:

"Fine, let's do that."

Ichinose hugged Yi Chen, and then the two of them parted ways.

Yi Chen watched Ichinose's retreating figure:

"This exam will end with Class D gaining 250 class points and 2.5 million private points."

Yi Chen now intended to see if there was anything going on with Karuizawa, but he didn't have her contact information.

So, after thinking about it, he contacted Sato, who sent Karuizawa's phone number to Yi Chen.

Things were a bit awkward between Yi Chen and Karuizawa, but he called her anyway.

Buzz~ Buzz~

Karuizawa was taking a bath. Hearing her phone ring, she came out, saw it was an unknown number, and hung up.

Yi Chen looked at the hung-up call, feeling very awkward.

He sent a message to Sato:

"Sato, Karuizawa might not know it's my number. Could you please remind her?"

After sending the message, Yi Chen felt bored in his room, so he decided to go out for a walk.

As soon as he stepped out, he heard a commotion in the hallway.

"Huh? Koenji's group exam is already over?"

"Eh? Koenji? Really? You've got to be kidding me."

"Koenji! You brat! Our Class D's class points are going to be squandered by you, you little punk!"

"Koenji! What on earth did you do? How are we supposed to compete with the other classes like this!"

Wearing only his underwear, the muscular Koenji said brilliantly:

"Ore, ore, exams and such are such a bother. I prefer a vast and free space."

"Ahahaha."

The people nearby continued to complain to Koenji with dissatisfaction.

Yi Chen stood at his doorway, dumbfounded as he watched Koenji.

Koenji also noticed Yi Chen.

Koenji strode magnificently toward Yi Chen:

"Good evening, funny boy. So you live in this room, 715, how truly gorgeous."

"My exam is already over, how about you, funny boy?"

Yi Chen's vision went dark for a moment, but he quickly adjusted his state and said helplessly:

"I've only just begun."

Koenji said cheerfully:

"Ara ara, funny boy, I think you will also end the exam magnificently very soon, won't you?"

"I'm looking forward to it~."

After saying this, Koenji gave Yi Chen a wink and walked away laughing.
