Although Shuichi Kanda promised to give him the answers to 30 points in each subject, this did not guarantee that all members of Class C would pass the exam.

After all, while other classes were setting up study groups for a month, Class C hadn't done anything. They had to double their efforts in the next couple of days, otherwise some of them might really fall behind.

After Ryuen left, Shuichi Kanda looked at Horikita Suzune, who seemed to be questioning the meaning of life.

"They're gone."

Hearing Shuichi Kanda's words, Horikita Suzune finally looked up, nodded somewhat blankly at Shuichi Kanda.

On the way back to the dormitory, the two of them didn't say a word.

Shuichi Kanda walked ahead, while Horikita Suzune followed behind with her head down, looking like a wronged little wife.

Shuichi Kanda didn't pay any attention to her and just let her follow him. However, to Shuichi Kanda's surprise, Horikita Suzune followed him all the way to his dormitory.

Shuichi Kanda opened the door and entered the room. Upon seeing Horikita Suzune standing in the doorway, he sighed.

Come in.

Hearing Shuichi Kanda's words, Horikita stepped into the house.

Shuichi Kanda shook his head as he watched Horikita Suzune walk into the room and kneel down in front of the small table, her face somber and silent.

This poor kid, I hope he won't be too upset by something like this.

Chapter 209 Everything was part of Shuichi Kanda's plan!

After placing a glass of warm water in front of Horikita Suzune, Shuichi Kanda sat down opposite her.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling down?"

Horikita Suzune looked up at Shuichi Kanda and shook her head.

"I'm wondering, what is the purpose of all this?"

"Weren't you going to lead Class D to Class A?"

Horikita glared at Shuichi Kanda with annoyance. "With you, the Buddha, in Class D, what's the point of me doing anything? In the end, you're the one who has to clean up the mess anyway."

"What nonsense are you talking about? What you did was quite a show for me, at least it achieved its goal of livening up the atmosphere."

"You..."

Seeing how down I am, can't you at least try to comfort me!?

Although Horikita thought this in her heart, Horikita remained as stubborn as ever and would never say such a thing.

However, in Shuichi Kanda's opinion, Horikita was starting to act arrogant again.

When you deliberately lost to Kushida and then knelt down, weren't you very clear-headed?

How come you're getting confused now!?

Based on your demeanor and thoughts when you knelt before Kushida, shouldn't you immediately admit defeat and beg to beg for his help?

Didn't you want to move up to Class A?

If you beg me now, I'll take you up there.

Horikita Suzune! What are you waiting for! Beg me now!

However, Shuichi Kanda not have telepathy, and although he was screaming frantically in his mind, Horikita Suzune could not hear him.

"It's okay. Although you failed again this time, you've already tried your best."

Seeing Horikita Suzune's anger but silence, Shuichi Kanda offered words of comfort.

"It's still meaningless." Horikita pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, then picked up the water that Shuichi Kanda gulp.

"How could it be meaningless? You deserve a lot of credit for the study group," Shuichi Kanda surprise. "Besides, you can feel involved if you want."

As he spoke, under Horikita's strange gaze, Shuichi Kanda took out a set of test questions from his desk drawer.

"These are the test questions I gave to the Ryuen class. Take them and then put together thirty points for each subject. Wouldn't that make you feel more involved?"

Horikita looked at Shuichi Kanda. " Are you sure this is to make me feel involved, and not just to use me as a tool?"

However, after careful consideration, Horikita realized that she really had nothing to do. All she had done this time was organize a study group, and her contribution was even less than that of Kushida.

After all, I was only in charge of the first study session, while Kushida was someone who would show up at both study sessions!

As for the exam papers that can guarantee all students in the class will pass...

"By the way, Ryuen said he imitated your style in setting math questions. Will our students fall behind because of that?"

Horikita suddenly remembered this, which made her somewhat worried.

"Don't worry, I've already gotten some of the math problems from Karuizawa through Ryuen. I'll organize them and post them in the class group tomorrow, and that'll be fine."

Horikita sighed. So they'd even considered that?

As expected of you!

Then, Horikita took out a pen and draft paper from her bag and started working on the problems.

After reviewing this set of questions, Horikita couldn't help but nod in approval. The questions created by just one person were of higher quality than those created by several of them combined. Just how good was this guy?

While Horikita Suzune was doing her homework, Shuichi Kanda sat in his computer chair and took out his Time TV to face Horikita Suzune.

In any case, to outsiders it's just an ordinary tablet, so Shuichi Kanda isn't worried about being exposed. As for why it's a tablet, it changed its appearance when he recharged the battery in November, transforming from a bulky design into a portable mode.

The reason for taking it out was naturally to confirm whether the test questions submitted by Ryuen were the same as those given to Karuizawa.

Character identified: Kazuma Sakagami; Time: After Ryuen submits the exam paper.

Soon, Shuichi Kanda found what he was looking for—the scene of Kazuma Sakagami reviewing exam papers.

Yeah, this guy is so slow. I've already finished reading, and he still hasn't.

Fast forward >>

After spending two and a half minutes, Shuichi Kanda had memorized all the questions. Then, after confirming that the questions on the board had been submitted to Mashima, he put away the Time TV.

As for why it was submitted to Mashima, it's because he's the head of the first-year students' grade. Even though the class he's currently in charge of has been downgraded to Class B, he's still in charge of this year's class.

As expected, the test questions that Ryuen gave Karuizawa were all correct; it seems he didn't try anything funny in this regard.

On the other side, Horikita Suzune was still reviewing the questions, but the more she looked at them, the more ingenious Shuichi Kanda's questions seemed.

It's not particularly difficult, but it's extremely demanding, just like the nature of this society.

The jobs that everyone does after entering society are actually very simple, but very demanding.

Each subject is worth 30 points, and each question is worth 2 points. There are eight subjects in total, with a total of 120 questions. Although it was quite a heavy workload, Horikita Suzune finally finished after more than two hours.

However, the intense concentration required for over two hours was also tiring for Horikita. This was different from an exam, where each subject has an hour and only fifty questions.

At Horikita Suzune's pace, it would only take her a little over an hour to finish all fifty questions. The rest of the time would be for checking, during which her brain wouldn't be working as fast as when she was doing the questions, so she would be in a semi-resting state.

Looking at the exhausted Horikita Suzune, Shuichi Kanda took the test paper and glanced at it, knowing that Horikita had gotten all the answers right.

Because he has the answer here. As for why he would let Horikita Suzune do it even though he already has the answer, it's naturally to give her a sense of participation, as he already said!

"Good. Next, take photos of these test questions and send them to Ryuen."

Upon hearing this, Horikita raised her head, revealing a tired face.

So you really just see me as a tool?

Wait, didn't he already submit the exam paper?

When submitting the exam, you are required to submit the answers as well, so all I did was essentially a waste of time!?

"You do have the answer, don't you?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Shuichi Kanda asked, looking puzzled. "How can I get Chabashira-sensei to accept my exam paper without the answers?"

"Besides, you should have submitted the answers when you submitted the exam, right?"

"Stop talking!"

Horikita Suzune covered her face with one hand, feeling extremely ashamed.

Yeah, he didn't say he didn't have an answer, did he?

I was so confused just now!!!

Looking at Horikita, Shuichi Kanda shook his head. This girl is strange; is she just too tired? Should he offer her some comfort?

Let's invite her to stay for dinner. Anyway, we need to use up all the food from yesterday today, and one person can't finish it all.

I've eaten her cooking before, but I've never let her eat any of my cooking.

Hmm... that's not right either. She ate communal meals on the Uninhabited Island, and I think she was even given Mapo Tofu?

Never mind, it's been too long, I can't remember.

"Want to have dinner together?"

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

After the two ate a simple bowl of tomato and egg noodles, Shuichi Kanda sent Horikita away.

"These are some of the test questions submitted by Ryuen. You decide whether to give them to the students in your class; I'm not in charge of that."

With that, she handed the test questions she had prepared to Horikita Suzune.

"I see."

After leaving Shuichi Kanda's room, Horikita let out a long sigh of relief, glanced at the darkening sky outside, and headed towards the elevator.

Meanwhile, Shuichi Kanda, who remained in the room, took out his phone, took a picture of the problem Horikita had solved earlier, and sent it to Ryuen.

We must keep our promises. If a large number of students in Class C really drop out this time, Ryuen will go crazy.

That wouldn't be fun, would it? Three classes fighting is nowhere near as interesting as four classes fighting, don't you think?

After doing all this, Shuichi Kanda dialed Kei Karuizawa's number, but the call was not answered until a while later, and then Karuizawa's voice came from the other end.

"Hello?"

Is now a convenient time?

"Yeah, I was playing in my friend's room just now, and I'm out now."

"I see. If it's alright, come to my room. There are some things I need to tell you."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Shuichi Kanda put down his phone and sighed.

Damn, I'm so busy!

Just as Karuizawa had said on the phone, a few minutes later, there was a knock on the door of Shuichi Kanda's room.

When the door opened, Karuizawa was standing obediently outside.

Upon seeing Karuizawa, Shuichi Kanda immediately and subconsciously compared her to Horikita and Kushida, with whom he had been in frequent contact in recent days.

As expected, Karuizawa was easier to deal with.

"Excuse me."

Please come in.

The weather in early December was already cold for Shuichi Kanda, and seeing Karuizawa still wearing a short skirt, he couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.

Who are these people? Speaking of which, it seems like all the female students in the class are wearing short skirts with bare legs, unlike Shuichi Kanda who put on thermal underwear early on.

It's almost December, time to collect all the items I've accumulated. I wonder if I'll be able to get any survival-related items.

Summer is bearable, but winter is truly unbearable!

"Ah, it's so warm..."

Karuizawa sighed as he entered the house.

After a while, Shuichi Kanda brought Karuizawa a glass of warm water.

"Thanks."

Although it was strange that Shuichi Kanda liked to drink plain water, Karuizawa sensibly didn't ask. Actually, if she could, she would prefer a cup of hot cocoa.
