On the contrary, the other student is also a top student in Class A, especially in English, where he often gets full marks and can be an academic benchmark in the class.

The problem is that the other person's usual personality is too gentle, even giving the impression of being weak, which doesn't seem like the kind of person who can be the head of the question-setting team and shoulder heavy responsibilities.

Having been at Advanced Education for so long, the students in Class A have long understood that students who only possess talent in one area are not necessarily capable of becoming suitable leaders.

Wang Meiyu is indeed a top student, but can she really lead others to create a test paper that is enough to defeat Class B?

Shun Aragaki naturally noticed the doubts of some of his classmates, and even Xiaomei herself didn't have much confidence in herself, but that didn't matter, as long as everyone had faith in his decision.

“That’s right, I’ve thought about it carefully. Since we’re going to compete in setting questions, Xiaomei does have an unparalleled advantage.”

With his index finger tapping the table and looking at his lover with an encouraging gaze, the leader of Class A said confidently, "Be more confident. Even if you don't have confidence in yourself, at least trust my judgment a little more."

"Not to mention, being fluent in three languages ​​at this age, Xiaomei is already exceptionally talented."

This isn't something Aragaki Shun made up on the spot; it's simply the truth.

Wang Meiyu's parents are both from mainland China. When she was in the first year of junior high school, her father had to come to Sakurajima for work, so the whole family moved there.

It must be mentioned that at that time, Xiaomei didn't know the local language at all. She could only communicate with people in English while slowly learning. Then, she completely mastered Japanese in three years of junior high school.

This shows just how outrageous the other person's talent in languages ​​is.

She's only 16 years old! Not only are her grades excellent, but she's also fluent in Chinese and Japanese, and her English is perfect. Excluding those privileged second-generation students, she's definitely one of the top talents among all the students at Advanced Education.

With just a little confidence, even if you can't graduate from Class A and get a school recommendation, you can definitely build a bright future through your own hard work if you specifically focus on language development.

Fortunately, this special exam is the perfect opportunity to help the girl build confidence.

"Thump thump~ thump thump~"

Nervous, excited, shy... My heart was pounding like a summer downpour on the windowsill, rapid yet with a clear rhythm.

Wang Meiyu took a deep breath, her fingertips unconsciously pinching her cuffs, as if trying to press all her insecurities into the fabric.

As Aragaki-kun said, she may not believe in herself, but she will never doubt the words of her lover.

Even if it's just to repay Aragaki-kun's trust, she has to stand up for herself.

"it is good!"

It was light, yet firm.

The girl looked up, and for the first time, her eyes, meeting her lover's, shone with an undisguised light.

"Then let me do it. I definitely won't let Aragaki-kun down."

The air in the classroom trembled slightly.

Someone clapped softly; it was the always gentle and friendly Honami Ichinose. "I believe that Mimi can definitely do it. Let's all work hard together."

Several students who had been frowning breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and then subconsciously joined the others in clapping.

In this atmosphere of unity, the decision to appoint Wang Meiyu as the head of the question-setting team was made so easily.

Perhaps some people still have doubts, but Aragaki Shun's reputation for repeated victories is undeniable. Before he makes a mistake, when faced with the boy's arbitrary decision, even if they don't understand it, they will first think that they haven't thought things through enough, rather than questioning his decision to his face.

In short, if you have the ability to lead everyone to continuous victories, then you have the right to be capricious.

"Okay! It's up to you, Xiaomei."

Shun Aragaki nodded, and didn't forget to specifically remind him: "Remember to refer to more exam papers from the mainland, and prepare essential practice materials like '53' (a popular Chinese exam preparation book)."

Compared to Sakurajima, where students can finish school around 4 PM and freely participate in club activities or even go home, the mainland is a truly hellish learning environment.

Recalling his past life, Shun Aragaki never left the classroom before 21 PM during evening self-study sessions in high school. When he entered his senior year and was preparing for the college entrance exam, he suffered terribly from doing so many practice problems.

Workbooks like "53", "Huanggang", and "Hengshui" – talking about them brings back so many tears. During that period, I was almost driven to a mental breakdown by the sea of ​​questions.

"This school can be purchased online; if you need funds, you can apply directly to Kanzaki for class fees."

"If you want to contact friends on the mainland online, you can also come to the community to find me. There is still more than a month left, and we can always find a way to make the necessary arrangements."

The Advanced Education Program is indeed nominally a closed program, prohibiting students from contacting the outside world.

However, the school deliberately left many loopholes. First, personal points could be used directly for online shopping, allowing merchants to ship the items needed through the school.

Then there's the freedom to gather information online, with few restrictions. Sakura Airi can even upload her own photos to her blog, though she can't post comments.

Besides these two methods, Shun Aragaki can also contact editors outside through the club. If Mei-Yu Wang has friends in mainland China, they can also send her photos of those workbooks.

Is it about comparing the difficulty of the exam?

Those insane questions that once drove mainland students to the brink of despair will definitely make the attacked Class B understand what cruelty truly means!

Wang Meiyu has a natural advantage in this regard. Since Aragaki Shun is not involved in the specific details, she will naturally be the most suitable person in charge of the question-setting team.

"Huh? Can we use exam papers from other countries?"

Chihiro Shiraha was somewhat surprised. "Didn't Professor Hoshinomiya say that the questions couldn't go beyond the scope of our textbooks?"

"It wasn't beyond the syllabus at all. It was just borrowing the question-setting ideas from the mainland. It wasn't like we were deliberately using obscure languages ​​from some small countries to set the questions."

Knowledge in subjects like mathematics, chemistry, physics, and English is generally applicable in countries around the world.

Even the Japanese language curriculum, which is unique to Sakurajima, contains a large amount of classical Chinese text due to historical reasons. Therefore, it is absolutely no problem to directly import the classical Chinese texts from the mainland.

Shun Aragaki offered a brief explanation, then turned his gaze to Chie Hoshinomiya, "After we finish setting the questions, we can have the teacher review them beforehand, and submit them only once we're sure they'll pass. That should be fine, right?"

"Hehe~ This time, Paper Shuffle could have been discussed with the teacher, and I, Zhihui, would have been very happy about it."

By giving a thumbs-up, Hoshinomiya deliberately made a cute gesture, clearly supporting the boy's idea.

That being said, wasn't Wang Meiyu originally a student under Class D, under Chabashira Sae?

Are the schools blind? How could they send such an outstanding student who is fluent in three languages ​​and has knowledge of two countries to such a place?

Tsk tsk~ Luckily, Aragaki had already poached the other party, otherwise this special exam might have really made her best friend suffer.

That is absolutely not allowed!

"So this is how it can be done? It seems that Wang is indeed the ace in this special exam."

Ryuji Kanzaki looked thoughtful. "But it's impossible to let her set the questions all by herself. There's only a little over a month left before the deadline for submitting the exam papers. The workload of 400 questions is still too much."

Shun Aragaki had naturally considered this as well, and so replied without hesitation:

"Xiao Mei will be in charge of the overall work, and Kanzaki, Sakayanagi, Ichinose and Hiyori will assist in the work. The five of you will form a question-setting team and are required to submit the finished test paper to me before the deadline."

"As for the other students in the class, continue to improve their basic academic skills at the original pace. Don't let them lose to Class B due to carelessness."

Most people in Class A naturally had no objections to this arrangement.

After all, the members of the question-setting team that Shun Aragaki specifically named were all top students in the class, so their combat power was definitely sufficient.

The only one who had a slightly different opinion was Horikita Suzune.

She felt that she was also capable of making a significant contribution to Class A in this special exam.

But when the leader of Class A glanced at her, this soft-spoken girl could only let out a silent lament and give up on raising her hand to stand up.

It's not that Shun Aragaki looks down on the other person... To put it bluntly, you, who studies for more than ten hours a day to catch up with other talented people, should stop adding more work to your life.

Balancing student council duties, daily studies, and forced participation in Class A's social activities is already quite strenuous for a girl; getting involved in the question-setting team on top of that is just asking her to exhaust herself.

Finally, regarding cooperation—

"Just tell me what you want. As long as it's to ensure Class A's victory, I have no problem with it."

This is Ryuji Kanzaki. He's used to assisting Shun Aragaki and doesn't think there's anything wrong with him, as a member of the class's management, following another girl's instructions during this special exam.

"Okay, then please give me your guidance, Xiaomei."

Honami Ichinose is always so friendly and gets along with everyone, so it's impossible for her to deliberately cause trouble in this situation.

Shiina Hiyori exchanged a glance with Wang Meiyu and nodded slightly, indicating that she would cooperate.

The relationship between the two is quite complicated. To outsiders, they could be considered rivals in love, but they get along fairly well on a daily basis.

Only Yusu Sakayanagi——

She rested her chin on one hand, her silver hair flowing past her shoulder, and a half-smile playing on her lips.

"Aragaki-kun's vision is always unexpected."

The voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but just loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Then I'll do my part too. I hope to get along well with Wang in the days to come."

After saying that, she turned her head to look at Wang Meiyu, a hint of competitiveness flashing in her eyes.

—The person in charge of the exam who was called out was not her, which made the sickly girl feel a little disappointed.

Since enrolling in Advanced Nurturing School, she has taken three special exams in total: the Deserted Island Exam, the Preferential Treatment Exam, and the Sports Festival. However, due to her health condition, she has not participated in any of them.

Now that she's finally encountered a Paper Shuffle that's just right for her, to be honest, she really wants to show off and prove her abilities in Class A.

However, she didn't have much say in the class. Once the leader of Class A made the decision, she had already lost the right to object.

The girl twirled the pen in her fingertips, the metal cap reflecting a cold light, and an indescribable melancholy rose in her heart.

How boring.

Shun Aragaki looked away from Arisu Sakayanagi. The boy could vaguely sense the emotions emanating from her, but his intuition told him that Sakayanagi wouldn't cause trouble in this special exam.

In this way, there is no need to do anything unnecessary.

"That's settled then. We'll leave all the exam papers to the question-providing team. Xiaomei, you can call Ichinose and the others later to discuss the specific arrangements."

In short, this is the mute button for all noise.

Wang Meiyu felt the gazes around her—

There was anticipation, worry, and a hint of jealousy.

But all of that has become irrelevant. Since Aragaki trusts her so much, she will definitely do her best to handle this matter.

In any case, the girl would never let her lover down.

She straightened her back, and everyone in the classroom seemed to sense that something had been ignited, and her fighting spirit was burning brightly.

"Then please wait and see!"

Recalling the numerous practice books in her mind, Wang Meiyu clenched her fists secretly.

In short, we must create an exam paper that is considered inhumanly difficult, even by mainland standards.

Aragaki Shun nodded in satisfaction. It would be even better if his excellent lover could have more confidence and face his talents squarely.

"Shibata, Kito, and Kamuro, each of you go to Class B, Class C, and Class D respectively and invite their class representatives over."

"While there's still time, let's decide on the targets for each class as soon as possible, so we don't have to draw lots."

Classes C and D are a no-brainer. If Koenji and his classmates in Class B were to consider things purely rationally, they would most likely avoid Class A and choose one of the two lower-ranked classes as their opponent.

Shun Aragaki didn't care about this; anyway, Class A would definitely attack Class B.

They absolutely cannot escape this terrifying storm from the mainland!

277. I want to focus all my energy on the second grade; you are the real challengers.

After school.

In the shopping mall's coffee shop, a loud, forceful shoving of the door revealed the arrival of Ryuen Sho, Koenji Rokusuke, Katsuragi Kohei, and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, the core members of Class 1-B.

"Aragaki, what exactly are you trying to do by calling us here?"

"The tone of this Paper Shuffle exam is that it's an attack by one class against another. Even if you unite the other two classes, it still doesn't make sense in this respect."

Aragaki Shun, who was already seated inside, turned his head and glanced over, ignoring Ryuen Sho's deliberately arrogant provocation, and simply pointed to the seat opposite him.

"Sit down first, we'll talk once everyone's here."

He let out a disdainful snort, but seeing that the others in Class A were treating him like air, Ryuen gritted his teeth and decided not to make a fool of himself. Instead, he found a seat with Koenji and the others.

Just as the group sat down, two groups of people entered the coffee shop: Ibuki Mio, Manabe Shiho, and Kaneda Satoru from Class C, and Karuizawa Megumi, Kushida Kikyo, and Hirata Yosuke from Class D.

At this point, all the leaders of the four first-grade classes had arrived.

"Sorry, we're not late, are we?"

Kikyo Kushida brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and Yosuke Hirata greeted everyone present in a friendly manner.

Their way of dealing with people is similar to that of Honami Ichinose; they are able to make friends across classes and even grades. Therefore, even under the highly competitive rules of education, the three of them have friends all over the school.

Needless to say, both Class A and Class B present had students who transferred from their Class D.

Thinking this, Kushida and Hirata looked at Wang Meiyu and Horikita Suzune from Class A, and Koenji Rokusuke and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka from Class B, and a subtle expression appeared on their faces.
