People bring their own maids to the training camp

"If we go any further, we should bring our own tea and just borrow water from the shop," Hasebe laughed.

Since Chihaya came directly from the student council, she naturally brought a can of black tea that she had brought from Horikita Gakuen.

"Hehe, then forget it. But everyone can take some home to drink," Chihaya said. "It was a gift from the president. I'll be drinking it all by myself for a long time."

"Speaking of which, you prefer tea to coffee, boss."

"Yes, although I have a European-looking face, I'm a staunch tea enthusiast, you know?"

"You clearly love lattes too," Hasebe teased. "You've tried all the different flavors of latte, haven't you? It seems the manager is already working on developing new ones."

"Oh, that's because lattes aren't bitter," Chihaya laughed. "They're meant to be a drink, not a pick-me-up, so taste is the most important thing."

"Isn't there a story?"

"If I had to say, I did drink a sip of Americano when I was a kid out of curiosity, and then I went around looking for candy to eat."

"It's hard to imagine something like this happening to Chihaya. I feel like even Haruka would do something like this now," Miyake remarked. "You need to use up several bags of candy by yourself."

"Well, I just like sweets!" Hasebe rolled his eyes at Miyake. "Is that not allowed?"

"Of course, but next time you should consider the amount of sugar dissolved. Last time I noticed there was still a lot of undissolved sugar at the bottom of the cup after you finished drinking it."

"That's because I can't get the amount right, and sometimes I just refill the cup directly so I don't have to add sugar again," Hasebe muttered. "San-san, you'll never find a girlfriend like this!"

"It's okay, I don't have any intention of dating anyone at the moment."

"Oh? Really? I don't believe it."

"Well, there's nothing I can do about that. Besides, if I really got a girlfriend, she might get jealous, so it's better for me to stay single," Miyake said helplessly.

Embarrassingly, he was the only boy in the entire concubine group.

"Well, there's nothing I can do about that. Besides, if I really got a girlfriend, she might get jealous, so it's better for me to stay single."

"Hmm... Now that you mention it, I realize you're the only boy here, hahaha."

"At this stage, friends are more important, and with Gao Yu's competitive system, it might be awkward to date someone from another class sometimes."

“That makes some sense.”

"Moreover, dating will cost a lot of points, and compared to that, apart from a little emotional value, there seems to be no need to have a girlfriend."

"Wow, it's hard to imagine that San San could say such insightful and philosophical things. Has he really evolved because he's been spending too much time with the boss?"

"Haruka, I don't think I said anything like that, did I?" Chihaya said helplessly.

"Hehe~" Hasebe chuckled, trying to get away with it by being cute, "So, San San doesn't care about girls?"

"not at all."

"This is so boring. Everyone's gathered together, but there's no gossip to talk about."

"There are clearly four people, but Haruka, you only asked me?"

"That's right, Airi, do you have a guy you're interested in? You can just say if you have one without telling me his name, okay?" Hasebe suddenly realized what was going on and turned his attention to Sakura.

"I...I...QAQ"

"It seems so~ Airi is quite the hidden talent; I really wouldn't have guessed if I hadn't asked~"

"You said you'd only ask if I had it, but Airi said if I did, you'd definitely keep asking for the name, right?"

"San San, aren't you curious about what kind of boys Ai Li likes?"

"I'm quite curious too." Chihaya smiled slightly. Although he had a general idea, he was happy to see it happen, as it was an action to help Sakura integrate.

"See! Even the boss is curious! We can help Airi out!"

"Jiajia, um, that!" Sakura said, her face flushed with anxiety. "I, I just care a little bit, it's not like I want to date her!"

"Oh! You want to date me!"

"Ugh... QAQ"

"Alright, Haruka, stop bullying Airi," Chihaya said, trying to smooth things over. "If Airi really needs help, she'll ask us for it, right?"

"Yes, yes!" Sakura nodded repeatedly, having found her savior.

"Then I'll ask one last question! I won't ask for the name!" Hasebe pleaded in desperation. "Is he a boy from Class D? I'll only ask this one question!"

“Yes…” Sakura stammered, her voice very soft, but enough for Hasebe to confirm.

After spending some time together, she had more or less grasped Sakura Airi's "instruction manual" and could make some judgments without considering the decibels of her voice.

"Could it be Hirata from Class D? That would be troublesome. Not only is he already taken, but at least a third of the girls in Class D have a crush on Hirata, right?"

"No wonder he's a handsome guy on the list, he's really popular," Chihaya interjected.

"Boss, it's not very meaningful for you to say that you're number one. There are definitely more people who have a crush on you than on Hirata-kun!"

"I'm not comparing ourselves to others! It's just that Hirata-kun is really popular, and it's not just about looks," Chihaya explained. "The number one ranked Satoka-kun isn't actually that popular, you know?"

"Is that so? Actually, I don't know much about the people in the other classes."

"People like someone not just because of their appearance, although being good-looking can certainly be a big plus."

“I kind of understand what you’re trying to say, boss—it’s pretty much the same as Xiao Geng, right? She’s a nice person to begin with, and on top of that, she’s beautiful and talented, which is why she’s popular.”

"Is that how Hirata-kun is? From what I understand, Hirata-kun is quite important to Class D. Although Class D doesn't have a class representative, he's trusted by everyone, right?"

“That’s definitely the feeling,” Miyake agreed. “Horikitani-kun is capable, but she’s not that easy to get along with.”

"Rin, she's just not very good at socializing, but I think she's very reliable when it really matters, right?"

"I heard that Horikita was the one who beat Class A when the midterm exams ended in a tie, but she doesn't seem willing to talk about the specific methods."

"The witness that Sudo was suspended from school was found by Horikita-san, right? In terms of ability alone, I think we still have to rely on Horikita-san if we encounter any problems." Miyake also gave Suzune a very high evaluation.

As for Sakura, it goes without saying that she still can't figure out how Suzune managed to catch her, the witness, so quickly.

"And they also got second place in the special exam. Actually, everyone was more optimistic about the combination of Kogoro and Hirata."

"The Ludo battle seems to test the movement ability of the pieces more, so the combination of Hirata and Kushida is at a disadvantage. That black exchange student in Class C is just too strong." Miyake shook his head repeatedly when he mentioned Albert. "Only Chihaya was able to defeat him."

"Yes, Chihaya is the real boss now. Before, the students in our grade all looked at Chihaya with admiration, but now they all have a hint of respect for her."

"Now Sudo-kun isn't wronged. He tried hard to defend himself when people criticized him before, but now he doesn't even bother to defend himself."

"That's right, Yamada from Class C is clearly the type who works out seriously. Ordinary athletes are no match for him, right?"

"I think the chances of winning in a race are quite high," Chihaya said. "Kito from Class A won the race, didn't he?"

"But it seems like fewer people confessed to Chihaya after that special exam," Hasebe said, changing the subject. "Maybe it's because they're worried about getting beaten up instead of confessing?"

"Am I that violent?"

"Whether you lift a finger or not, you're now recognized as the strongest fighter in the entire school, okay?"

"Sigh, I was just being clever. After all, Yamada and I were comparing ourselves to sports that he hadn't practiced before."

While saying that, Chihaya actually thought that someone like Yamada Albert could probably take on three or four of them without much trouble.

"She's truly talented in both academics and martial arts. Although boys look at Chihaya with a bit of awe, her influence among girls is quite significant. Maybe in the future, it will be cute girls confessing their love to her."

"...In that case, please let me go."

151. Too lazy to get up.

With final exams approaching, each class has naturally organized a reading club.

From the color palette to the library, students could be seen everywhere studying with their books in hand, and the atmosphere of the entire school was no longer as relaxed as it used to be.

Class B also organized a study session, with Honami, Chihaya, Kanzaki, and a few others taking turns as leaders, coordinating according to their different schedules.

Chihaya didn't care much about this, since without external factors, Class B was only slightly behind Class A in the exam.

However, because of the first-place prize in the Ludo tournament, Kanzaki chose math, which gave him the answer to a word problem. For Class B, this was a reliable scoring opportunity.

Even with the simplest problems, no class can guarantee a 100% accuracy rate, let alone a word problem. While the classes are divided into ABCD groups based on overall ability, this doesn't mean everyone in Class B can solve this word problem. Besides academic performance, there are also students who struggle with math.

In conclusion, consistent scoring on this word problem may be B's chance to surpass A in total score.

The final exam grade points will still be awarded based on ranking.

The first place gets 100 class points, the second place gets 75 points, the third place gets 50 points, and the fourth place gets 25 points.

The class with the highest average score across the five subjects will also receive an additional 5 class points per subject as a bonus.

The student with the highest total score will receive 5000 personal points, while the top three students in each subject will receive 3000, 2000, and 1000 personal points respectively as a reward.

Overall, it's much less stingy than the midterm exam.

However, the final exams were nothing fancy; it was simply a matter of the school setting the test papers and the students taking them. There weren't many "strategic alliances" to be used. Without the intelligence war, it was a contest of raw strength.

Those with connections learned from their seniors that starting with the final exam, practice questions lost their key value, becoming no different from the mock exams distributed by the teachers. Furthermore, there was a possibility that revisions to the textbooks might cause some differences.

Therefore, instead of getting past exam questions from seniors, it's more efficient to study the practice books and daily test papers.

The current class counts are as follows:

Class A: 985

Class B: 745

Class C: 590

Class D: 80

Aside from Class D, which is indeed lagging far behind, the gap between Class A and Class B is 240 points, and the gap between Class B and Class C is 155 points, none of which are particularly large. Of course, it's difficult to overtake them all by relying solely on the points awarded in the final exam. After all, the difference between first and fourth place is only 75 points, and even if the average score in all five subjects is the highest, it's only 25 points, and at most, 125 points can be obtained—moreover, it's practically impossible for a class to be the highest in all five subjects.

As things stand, these five subjects will likely be divided between Class A and Class B, but the exact number will have to wait until the exams are over to see the results.

Chihaya, who only had one math word problem, didn't try to trade with anyone. After all, Ryuen would definitely not buy it, and Class D didn't have many points to buy it. As for Class A, they were fighting amongst themselves, so there was no need to sell it to them.

Moreover, Chihaya also believed that this question wouldn't fetch a high price, so she didn't take any action before the final exams, leaving everything to fate.

He might consider stirring things up if there were additional rules or regulations, but he has no interest in a simple exam like this.

Compared to the final exams, the school's focus is definitely on the subsequent cruise trip.

Surviving on a deserted island was something Chihaya never expected, and he couldn't reveal it to anyone right now.
