People at the practical education center only want to drop out.

As long as I have the chance to stay in Class A and not fall back to Class D, my brother won't feel ashamed because of me!

Then my brother won't force me to drop out of school anymore!

I must thank you.

Because of you, at least for now, I won't be forced to drop out of school by my brother.

But simply not dropping out of school isn't enough.

I also want my brother's approval; I want to be a sister that my brother can be proud of!

Since your brother thinks you have the potential to lead our class to create a miracle, it means he has a very high opinion of you.

You have gained a high level of approval from your older brother.

I also want to be recognized by my older brother!

Even if I don't receive such high praise as you, at least I hope my brother won't feel ashamed to have a sister like me!

So, I hope you can help me!

Help me, at least make sure our class doesn't drop back to Class D.

And, help me gain my brother's approval!

Bai Lan quickly sorted out her thoughts and understood Horikita's idea.

simply put.

They treated Horikita Manabu as a grader.

Treat Bai Lan and Horikita as test takers.

Bai Lan received a passing grade in the exam judged by Horikita Academy.

Horikita Suzune was a poor student and only received a failing grade.

Because Horikita Suzune is unable to face Horikita Manabu normally, and is unable to ask him where she went wrong and how to improve.

Then, Horikita Suzune thought of Shirai.

Horikita Suzune plans to ask Shirai, an "advanced student," to tutor her.

Although Bai Lan is only "qualified" and not necessarily "perfect", and the "answers" he knows are not necessarily all correct, as a qualified person, his accuracy rate is at least higher than that of Horikita Suzune.

In this way, even if Horikita Suzune still fails to pass, at least her accuracy rate will improve, gradually bringing her closer to passing.

Besides, at least she knows a direction for improvement.

Instead of being completely unaware of where she lost points or which direction to take, she now is in a different situation.

Horikita Suzune felt that if she could have Shirai as a role model and guide, and with hard work, she would have a chance to reach Horikita Gaku's passing standard.

"I understand, I completely get what you mean," Bai Lan nodded and said.

Horikita's eyes were filled with joy: "Then..."

Bai Lan instinctively wanted to refuse.

Are you kidding me?

Let's not even talk about whether Bai Lan can actually tune Horikita Rin's voice to the way Horikita Manabu approves.

Even if he could, he wouldn't help!

If he really succeeds in turning Horikita Suzune into the younger sister Horikita Manabu wants, wouldn't Horikita Manabu owe Shirai a favor?

Horikita Manabu may seem old-fashioned and principled.

However, from the fact that he actually took advantage of the school's loopholes and planned to force his sister to drop out of school by force in a blind spot of the surveillance because he felt that his sister had embarrassed him, and then took the initiative to use violence against Bai Lan, whom he suspected, in order to test Bai Lan, we can see from these two points that Horikita Manabu is not a pedantic person. He does not mind doing illegal things in order to achieve his desired goal.

At that point, it won't just be a case of "adding insult to injury."

Who knows, if Bai Lan violates the rules one day, as long as it's not too serious, Horikita Manabu might try to cover it up for him out of consideration for this favor.

Wouldn't this make it much more difficult for Bai Lan to drop out of school?

"But I refuse!" Bai Lan opened her mouth, about to utter this classic line.

However, Bai Lan swallowed the words back as soon as they were on the tip of her tongue.

You should know that Bai Lan was planning to get information from Horikita for free!

Before that, Bai Lan absolutely cannot let Horikita Manabu see the rebellious spirit behind her head!

Imagine this: Horikita Manabu has just asked Shirai to look after his younger sister, and Shirai immediately refuses Horikita Suzune's request for help because she "wants to improve herself."

Isn't this too obvious?

It's worth noting that Horikita Suzune is someone who wears her emotions on her sleeve, although her way of expressing them is a bit different from the average person.

But as her brother, Horikita Manabu would certainly be able to understand her emotions.

Horikita Manabu is likely keeping an eye on his younger sister; what if he discovers something from Horikita Suzune tomorrow...?

Wouldn't that expose Bai Lan?!

Bai Lan suddenly felt a little regretful.

He shouldn't have been greedy for small gains, and he shouldn't have saved those 10 points.

If he had just given the 10 points to Horikita Manabu, wouldn't it have been better to get the intelligence sooner?

I shouldn't be so mentally exhausted from dealing with the ideas of this awkward brother and sister.

Ah, no.

Protecting the intelligence wasn't enough; Bai Lan also had to maintain the privilege of being "doubled" for her status as a member of the Disciplinary Committee!

Therefore, for the sake of privilege, Bai Lan cannot let Horikita Manabu see through her disguise so early!

Now that things have already happened, Bai Lan can only try to maintain the lie until he gets what he wants.

Therefore, Bai Lan could not refuse Horikita Suzune's request based on her "desire to improve".

But, not bad.

"Agreeing" does not mean you have to "do it well"!

Bai Lan can agree to Horikita Suzune's request for help.

But he plans to help Horikita in the same way he helped Kushida.

Yes.

Same old tricks.

Bai Lan planned to teach Horikita a plan that had extremely low cost-effectiveness and might even lead Horikita into a trap.

The solution isn't useless; it's useful, just not very useful, but it's quite problematic.

Of course, Bai Lan wouldn't lead her into a pit where she would never be able to get out.

In short, as long as she realizes that "Bai Lan can't take care of her well, and asking Bai Lan for help is not very useful," that's enough.

After Horikita Mirai discovers that what Shirai provided is completely useless, she will naturally give up the idea of ​​seeking Shirai's help again in order to avoid falling into the same trap again.

what?

You're saying Kushida's side has already failed?

Kushida has successfully mastered the "Dark Side Friendship Method" using the methods taught by Shirai?

Bai Lan thought it was just an accident.

Bai Lan was mainly surprised that the guys in Class D were so freakish and played such elaborate tricks.

It's astonishing how many people enjoy being criticized.

It has absolutely no reference value.

You should know that the "acceptance agent" for Horikita Suzune that he is now adjusting is Horikita Manabu!

Different!

Horikita Manabu is an elite student in Class A!

He's a normal person, not one of those unpredictable monsters in Class D!

Since Horikita is a normal person, then Bai Lan's logic model, which is constructed through normal brain circuits, should be effective!

With this in mind, Bai Lan felt full of confidence.

The advantage is mine!

With that in mind, Bai Lan decided to grant Horikita Suzune's request.

However, considering her usual work style, Bai Lan couldn't agree to it so easily.

Bai Lan quickly replied, "Yes, but there are conditions!"

“We each get what we need, so we owe each other nothing. That suits me perfectly. Now, what are your conditions?” Horikita Suzune asked.

"The condition is that while I help you, you also have to help me."

"help you with what?"

"Use me as a shield."

Nearly a month later, Bai Lan made the same request to Horikita again.

Horikita gave his reply after only a moment's thought about Bai Lan's conditions.

“Okay,” Horikita nodded.

"Wow, so decisive? Didn't you understand what I meant by 'shield'?"

"I'm not some naive, innocent girl."

So, your role as a 'shield' is to have me, as a member of the opposite sex, help you get rid of other people of the opposite sex who are trying to disturb your life, right?

“‘Drive away’ is a bit too harsh. Be a little gentler with my suitors, and don’t be too violent.”

"Isn't this too much trouble?"

"Since this is a transaction, then in this matter, I'm practically your client, right? And meeting my requirements is your job. Is this your attitude towards work? Or do you think you're incapable of doing it?"

"How could I not do it! I just find it troublesome and want to save time."
