Real teaching, but diary flow

She will regret it; she will regret not doing it back then.

So even if she had to borrow money from someone again at the last minute... she would choose to bow her head.

Of course, having learned from her previous experience, Horikita Suzune would never again ask her good classmates for money.

Even if they were rich, let alone if their pockets were completely empty, she would never ask them for a loan.

This money is absolutely necessary; there's no other way but to borrow it.

It's about the object...

Horikita Suzune had only three candidates in mind.

Older brother, Toru Asakusa, Kikyo Kushida.

Actually, the best choice would be Toru Asakusa.

She couldn't possibly borrow money from her brother, and Kikyo Kushida also had a lot of debts owed to her classmates.

But if there hasn't been any communication or contact for a long time, and the first thing they say is to borrow money...

The thought of doing such a thing was unbearable for Horikita Suzune.

I guess I'll have to trouble Kikyo Kushida. I have no choice but to trouble Kikyo Kushida.

"..." Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Kikyo Kushida showed a speechless expression: "I'm too lazy to even comment on you anymore."

So, how much do you want?

Considering that this guy actually wrote her daily updated diary entries and analysis notes every day because of something she said, lending her some money is no big deal.

Although she felt like she was becoming D-class's wallet, D-class hadn't really been making any money for a long time, so everyone had gotten to the point of not asking her for money anymore, which saved her the trouble of refusing.

Normal expenses can be completely left to Asakusa Tetsu; even if it's not reimbursement, asking for money is just a matter of a word.

“…Five thousand?” Horikita Suzune cautiously gave a number that she thought was reasonable.

Without hesitation, Kikyo Kushida pulled out her personal terminal and initiated a points transfer.

The money has arrived.

So easy.

So relaxed that Horikita Suzune even wondered if she had underestimated the number of students she had registered for.

But she quickly shook off this wrong idea.

I got it.

Although it's a loan, this way I can meet the minimum requirements for preparation.

"Thank you." So, with utmost sincerity, Horikita Suzune raised her head and looked at Kushida Kikyo.

"Hmm." Kikyo Kushida nodded casually and asked again, "So, nothing else?"

"You didn't call me here just for something like this, did you?"

Did you call me out just for something like this?

If you want to borrow money, you can just send a message.

“…” Horikita Suzune turned her head away.

Seeing Horikita Suzune's current reaction, Kushida Kikyo was speechless.

You really called her out just for something like this?!

"Never mind." She waved her hand, turned around, and was about to leave.

But just before she lifted her leg, a familiar voice rang out beside them.

"Splash—"

Pages fluttered in the air.

The diary was updated the day before the cruise trip.

Kikyo Kushida stopped walking and let out a soft sigh.

What a perfect timing!

However, since it's such a coincidence, let's take this opportunity to read this diary entry from the night before the exam together with Horikita Suzune.

As is his habit, this guy would write extensively about his exams.

...Although it seems like I didn't write much for the final exam.

But it's okay, I'll definitely just write something random today.

Kikyo Kushida had no expectations for this.

But Horikita Suzune is really looking forward to it.

In highly educated individuals, academic performance is not the sole criterion for judging character, nor is physical ability, and family background is even less so.

Don't you see that even the only son of the Koenji Zaibatsu was assigned to Class D?

So, what exactly is the standard for distinguishing between high and low abilities?

Class ranking? No, that's not it.

Not to mention that the class is a group, even the original Class A had a relative, Sakayanagi Arisu.

Although the diary seemed to have no intention of mentioning the class ranking ability assessment anymore, Horikita Suzune remained adamant about it.

Neither a person's class ranking, academic ability, nor athletic ability can accurately determine their merits or demerits.

What can I do?

That's right, it's a special exam.

Horikita Suzune has figured it out: nothing else matters. What matters is demonstrating her growth and changes in the special exam, and shining brightly in it.

—Even if Class D is not worth her leading.

So even if she scrimped and saved and ate only mountain vegetables every day, even if she had to swallow her pride and ask Kikyo Kushida for money, she still had to be fully prepared.

Obviously, it would be even better if the diary could provide some additional reminders.

They pulled the table aside and sat down opposite each other. Horikita Suzune was the first to open today's diary.

Congratulations everyone! You've successfully navigated the not-too-difficult final exams during the long off-season.

Not a single student dropped out!

Splat splat splat splat splat—

Even though things have come to this point, well, speaking of exams, I suddenly remembered something I might have forgotten to mention.

...There are cheat-like strategies for the midterm exam.

Yes, that's right, it's the midterm exam that caused Class D so much pain that they ended up in huge debts, the midterm exam that seemed to cause many students to drop out.

There are shortcuts available.

Well, although it might sound like hindsight, I'll still mention it to everyone.

The school does not change the exam papers for the midterm exams.

In other words, they can copy archaeology papers from older students.

It's pointless, and we can't go back to the past, but I just have to say it!

whee.

Do you feel regret? Are you in pain? Do you feel a deep sense of remorse?

...It seems that only Class D failed the midterm exam, and if anyone would regret it, it would be my little sister.

Okay, let's get back to the main topic.

Everyone should have received the notification by now, right?

Advanced Development will be holding a super awesome special exam that all first-year students will participate in!

But guess who can't take this exam?

you! ! !

A sickly, love-struck little princess!

Ah, but don't be too sad. You can still go on the cruise ship, and you can also drag the class down. Thanks to you, the Class 'B' meeting will start with a 30-point deduction.

I wonder how brilliant a strategy you'll come up with, given all this time to prepare and scheme?

Is the plan to copy Dragon Boy's plan, not to pursue the calculation of class points, but to eat, drink, and have fun before trading the purchased supplies to other classes?

They still plan to copy Dragon Boy's plan, racking their brains to send moles to other classes to try to find out the true identity of the leaders and maliciously guess to get those 150 points.

...Sorry, after thinking about it carefully, the only plan I really have is Dragon Boy.

The archangel doesn't have any specific plans; he just advocates for a very positive, united, and friendly approach, encouraging everyone to work together to save and be patient, and to check in as usual. He has no intention of engaging in zero-sum games or guessing games.

...No, the guessing game doesn't seem to be a zero-sum game, because guessing correctly will deduct the points you occupy, so it's a negative-sum game?

Well, since the little princess couldn't play, the bald man adopted a conservative and stability-maintaining strategy.

Basically, you do nothing, but incidentally sign a contract with Dragon Boy to take over his resources, and save more points by letting him drain your resources.

Incidentally, if he could buy a photo of the leader's keycard with solid evidence, he would also pay extra.

Well, it's hard to say whether the bald guy can replace the little princess who can't participate as the class leader this time.

After all, it seems that the bald guy is almost being crushed by the little princess.

It's a real shame, the bald guy is actually quite nice.

As for Class D, haha, Class D.

In short, I've already revealed everyone's tactics, so let's stop using these old tricks and try something different.

You guys knew the exam rules well in advance, so don't let me down.

By the way, I felt that the Archangel was too honest and not fun to play during exams, so before writing this in my diary, I secretly tried to send her some messages.

So in a sense, defeating the archangel is defeating me!

So, are you getting excited?

This is a rare opportunity for you to spar with me, little princess?

Don't you really want to come and play with me on that deserted island next time?

Okay, actually even if you wanted to get off, your dad wouldn't allow it. You'd better stay on the boat and watch.

Besides tactics, there's something I forgot to mention before.

Yes, it's that garbage betting game.

I mentioned before that I had opened my third eye and planned to reveal the identity of a leader, right?

But then I realized that what I said was a bit stupid. I'm sorry, I take it back.

As compensation, I have some fantastic news to share.

Leaders can be changed at will.

As long as there's a suitable reason, you can remove the original leader. It only costs 30 points, and even if you're openly and legitimately checking in in the early stages, it doesn't matter. You can just replace them before the exam ends, and no one will be able to guess who the real leader is.

So, no fool will make wild guesses anymore, right?

Chapter 194 Aren't you worried that the school won't allow you to bring personal belongings?

Go ahead and guess if you want. Think of something positive, and maybe you'll guess right. Give it a shot and believe in yourself!

In short, everyone should now fully understand that guessing the leader is the most pointless thing to do.

So we should get back to the exam.

Now that the infighting is over, there are obviously only two important points left for the special exam on the deserted island.

One is how to meet the class's survival needs at a lower cost, and accumulate more points while getting through the seven days.

Another issue is how to capture more strongholds faster, better, and more accurately.

The former should not be a problem for those of you who are well-prepared.
