People bring their own maids to the training camp

"Maybe it's just a cover-up—ouch, that hurts!" Hayasaka covered his head with both hands, while Chihaya put down her chopsticks.

"Let's get down to business. Have you found anything?"

“Yes,” Hayasaka said seriously. “I can find information on everyone in the school. Putting aside other things, I found that the current chairman of the board of directors of Gaoyu is surnamed Sakayanagi.”

"It's a national high school, but it has a chairman of the board?" Chihaya was a little surprised. "Does that mean this chairman represents the political world?"

"We don't know for sure, and the chairman isn't someone we can just meet whenever we want."

"That's true. Tsk, if I had known, I would have paid more attention to this kind of thing, and I wouldn't be so confused now."

Chihaya felt a little regretful. Before entering Gaoyu, he always thought that with his family's strength, he could check whenever he needed to. But now that he was in this closed campus, he had no way to check at all.

"Perhaps Madam hopes that you can develop the habit of not relying on the power of the family."

"Not relying on the family's power, but having to do things for the family—do you think I'm some kind of slacker doing dirty work?" Chihaya wanted to roll her eyes, but she couldn't for the sake of her image. "Besides, even if you need me to do something, you should at least tell me, right? When playing a game, you tell me where to kill some slimes."

Chihaya was very dissatisfied with her mother's behavior of not explaining the specific tasks and leaving it entirely to her to improvise. It wasn't like she was playing Kingdom Tears.

“You’re complaining now that it’s too late,” Hayasaka said. “So, should we contact Sakayanagi Arisu?”

“No contact! Let her entertain herself. But it's quite normal for the chairman to put her own daughter in here; it says something to some extent,” Chihaya analyzed. “If it were just about dealing with Kosaka Yanagi, it shouldn't be this serious…”

"How about I get a roster of all the first-year students?" Hayasaka suggested. "Maybe I'll see some familiar surnames."

"It's not impossible, but it shouldn't be done through teachers or the student council."

“No problem, leave it to me.” Hayasaka nodded. “Actually, we only need to deal with Class A and Class C. Kikyo-chan will probably be very willing to help us provide a list of Class D.”

"In that case, let's pay Kikyo a visit tomorrow."

“No problem, I’ll let her know in advance.” Hayasaka rarely showed a tax-evading expression. “I’ll buy some more memory cards in a couple of days.”

"You should know when to stop, Ai?" Chihaya shook her head. She didn't object to Hayasaka's love of directing, but she hoped that she could restrain herself a little.

"It's you, young lady, who should know when to stop. Don't ruin Kikyo-chan all at once, okay?"

"...Have you been liking this way of speaking more and more lately?"

"No, it's because you're wearing yellow-tinted glasses that it looks like that. There's nothing wrong with what I said."

"is it?"

"Yes, and as compensation for standing me up, I hope I can be up there tonight."

"...Never mind, whatever makes you happy."

49. Sadly, it's over.

Out of guilt, Chihaya fulfilled Hayasaka's dream of being a knight, allowing her to ride a horse as a knight several times.

Hayasaka was satisfied, so he did not attend Chihaya and Kushida's meeting the next day.

Also, it's true that the bed in the room is a bit cramped for three people, unless they sleep on the floor.

Hayasaka plans that if multiple people are involved in "movie shooting" in the future, she can buy carpets or something similar as cushioning, so that she can simply move tables and other objects to the corners to have enough space.

However, this only exists in Hayasaka's imagination. If he were to say that he had considered the issue of multiple people competing in front of Chihaya right now, he would most likely be taught a lesson by Chihaya.

Leaving the carpet issue aside for now, at eight o'clock the next evening, Kushida arrived at Chihaya's room with a change of clothes—the fragrance of her hair indicated that Kushida had taken a shower before coming, so everything was ready except for Chihaya, the expedition member, to set off.

Chihaya was very satisfied to see that Kushida was so cooperative.

Kushida is not a stupid person; in some ways, she is the one who best utilizes her advantages.

Just like her current attitude towards Chihaya, despite her fear, she is definitely plotting how to take advantage of Chihaya's power.

Her mere fact that she was a friend of Chihaya Himegami was enough to make her thrive even more during her first year.

Kushida was clever and showed no intention of resisting Chihaya. Even if she could obtain evidence of Chihaya cross-dressing and successfully get her expelled from school—ensuring her safety for those three years—what about after graduation? Even with a 100% university entrance rate, what good would it do? Wouldn't she be afraid of the Mikado family's retaliation if she got into the University of Tokyo?

For top conglomerates, there are a million ways to make a college student wish they were dead.

The University of Tokyo is certainly impressive, but it has nothing else to offer but a large student body, so it doesn't really care about any ordinary student.

Having figured all this out, Kushida didn't try to rebel. Although the price was a loss of some freedom, the reward was that he would avoid decades of struggle.

All things considered, it's actually quite a good deal—especially since Chihaya is a stunning beauty in both men's and women's clothing.

It's just sleeping, nothing special! Besides, it's quite comfortable! Kushida could only give himself this kind of self-suggestion.

......

(Process omitted, deleted if ganked)

Compared to the physically strong and experienced Hayasaka, Kushida, as a newbie, is naturally no match. However, she also has her own advantages, which Chihaya is well aware of. Kushida and Hayasaka are clearly two different types of teammates, and it's impossible to say which is better or worse; for Chihaya, each has its own advantages.

Hayasaka had her own ideas, but Kushida, knowing her newbie status, cooperated fully.

Chihaya glanced at Kushida, who was lying there panting, then got up and handed him a bottle of mineral water.

"Thank you." Kushida thanked him politely before unscrewing the bottle cap.

She only realized when she was unscrewing the bottle cap that it wasn't that tight, as if someone had unscrewed and screwed it back on, so it was easy to unscrew.

Chihaya brought the water, and naturally, only Chihaya could have done that.

"It's almost the end of the month, how many points do you have left?" Chihaya asked casually.

"I still have 100000 points left." Kushida swallowed the water in his mouth and quickly replied, "I spent a total of 50000 points. Apart from daily expenses, most of the remaining points were used for social activities with girls from other classes."

"Hmm, not bad. Be a little more generous, but don't let people take advantage of you." Chihaya nodded. "But I probably don't need to remind you of that."

"I will keep your teachings in mind." Kushida adopted a very humble attitude.

"If someone asks you for a loan next month, you can lend them a few thousand points."

"Borrow money?" Kushida asked cautiously. "You mean, there might not be any money next month?"

"We'll find out then, but I don't think there will be 100000 points." Chihaya tossed her hair. "Kikyo, ask yourself honestly, do some of your classmates really deserve the same number of points as everyone else?"

“Of course not!” Kushida answered without even thinking. She felt from the bottom of her heart that people like Yamauchi Ikesudo were scum.

If she herself deserves 100000 points, then Yamauchi would probably have to pay the school to pay her out of pocket.

"Although the evaluation criteria are not yet clear, a month is enough for some students to squander all the points they have."

Kushida nodded. Their Class D was definitely a disaster zone. Not to mention the boys who bought laptops and game consoles, even the girls like Karuizawa were buying all sorts of clothes, cosmetics, and skincare products. They were short of money and were even chatting about waiting for their credits to come in.

"Kikyo, you should know what kind of people are in your class. That's when you'll win them over." Chihaya patted Kushida's cheek. "This is exactly what you wanted, right? If you don't have enough points, come to me. I'll grant you any normal and reasonable requests, didn't I? Just listen to me."

At this moment, in Kushida's eyes, Chihaya's stunning beauty was like a combination of angel and devil.

"If you want to be 'buried,' I can grant your wish anytime."

The indifferent tone, coupled with the cold gaze, created a nightmare that shattered Kikyo Kushida's senses.

The girl suddenly sat up—only then realizing that she was covered in sweat.

The oppressive force emanating from the person in her dream was like a shadow, never letting her off the hook even in her dream.

Even more terrifying, the person in her dream was sleeping right next to her pillow at that very moment, and was frowning because of her movements.

"Kikyo." A neutral voice rang out, seemingly revealing the owner's impatience.

"I'm so sorry! It was just a dream..."

"sleep."

"Yes."

Both Kikyo Kushida and the boy beside her were exhausted after a night of taking.

The school uniforms, underwear, and BYTs scattered on the ground all testified to the madness of last night.

The air conditioner was still working hard, as if it were its duty to remove the peculiar smell that lingered in the room.

Kikyo Kushida lay back down on her pillow, taking the opportunity to glance subtly at the handsome young man's exquisite face, which even she found inferior.

Yes, it was this beautiful young man who became her nightmare. The words in her dream were also the same words he used to warn her in reality.

She wanted a fresh start, but instead found herself at the entrance to an abyss, where only endless falling awaited her.

After all, she dared not resist at all.

All she could do was try to please the man beside her.

In schools that prioritize meritocracy, the law of the jungle prevails.

50. Quiz

In addition to her own teaching duties, Hoshinomiya Chie, the homeroom teacher of Class 1-B, also serves as the school doctor in the infirmary.

Although he's the school doctor, he's a complete alcoholic. Every few days, he'll show up to class with a hangover.

Three minutes had passed since the school bell rang, and it was clear that she was late again.

"Is Hoshinomiya-sensei going drinking again yesterday?"

"Even though I have classes in the morning, I still drink the night before."

"I guess I can slack off to my heart's content in the school clinic."

The students naturally had something to say about the teacher's failure to arrive as promised.

"Class, everyone, please quiet down for a moment." Seeing the classroom atmosphere about to become too lively, Fanbo stood up to maintain discipline. "Everyone, please study on your own for now. If Hoshinomiya-sensei hasn't appeared by now, I'll go to the office..."

Before she could finish speaking, Hoshinomiya-sensei made a dazzling appearance.

"Haha, sorry, sorry, I'm late!" Ms. Hoshinomiya chuckled. "But it's not because of a hangover today, okay? Those of you who were secretly gossiping about me, please silently apologize to the wise and beautiful Ms. Hoshinomiya~"

This is Hoshinomiya-sensei's style. As the homeroom teacher of Class B, she gets along extremely well with her students, like a slightly unreliable older sister to everyone.

"Ahem, getting back to the point, today's class will be a short quiz, which is these papers in my hand!" Ms. Hoshinomiya showed the file folder in her hand. "After all, it's almost the end of the month, so it's time to test everyone, right? The good students who listened attentively will definitely have no problem."

After she finished speaking, she distributed the test papers, passing them from the front row to the back.

"If there's not enough, we can share it."

Qian quickly received the test paper, which listed questions for five main subjects, with a few sub-questions for each subject. He glanced at it briefly and realized that it was indeed a small test in terms of the number of questions.
