Chapter 48: What Kind of Crisis Will There Be After the Midterm Exam?

[Why is my ranking still at the bottom?! Why?]

'Because you just shorten the gap between you and normal people.'

Saiki Kusuo responded to Sudou Ken's confusion in his heart.

Although Sudo Ken has made rapid progress during this period, after all, his original foundation was too poor.

However, even though he was ranked last, Sudou Ken also achieved very high results for him. In other words, the results of the entire class exam this time were considered very good.

[I feel like my score in this exam should be close to the top ten! I obviously remember those formulas!]

'When you discover what formulas can be used for these problems, you are as excited as humans discovering fire for the first time, right?'

[Even though I have worked so hard... I am still in last place!?]

'What on earth have you tried hard for? It seems like I am trying hard.'

Saiki Kusuo felt a little helpless in his heart, but through the psychological activities just now, he felt that Sudou Ken seemed to be somewhat motivated, which could barely be considered progress.

[But this time the average score was 65, which is not bad!]

'When I just said nothing.'

Saiki Kusuo shook his head slightly, and then moved his gaze to Ayanokouji Kiyotaka on the other side, who was also quickly observing the results of the whole class.

[Horikita's total score is indeed first place, but Saiki's score is a bit surprising. This time, his math score is among the top ten in the class, but his English score is at the bottom... He is almost the same as me, still in the middle of the class. Is he controlling points? Or...]

'No matter how high my score is, you will always doubt me, right?'

"I have to say, your results in this exam really surprised me."

Sae Chabashira said with a smile.

[I didn't expect that these defective products could achieve such results. It's pretty good. Although they are now in Class C, they were rated as Class D when the school started - such a class has never had such a score, and it is not much different from Class A.]

[Everyone passed, which is really surprising - even Sudou and the guys got passable grades.]

[Did someone do something? Have you fully understood the school rules?]

"It seems that you, who were considered defective by the school at the beginning, have proved a little bit of your worth."

"Chabashira-sensei!"

At this moment, Hirata Yosuke raised his hand.

"What's wrong?"

Sae Chabashira narrowed her eyes slightly and locked her gaze on Hirata Yosuke, seemingly guessing what the other person was thinking.

"Since you said our results in this exam are okay... then has our class ranking increased?"

Hirata Yosuke asked very curiously.

After hearing Hirata Yosuke's words, Sae Chabashira showed a sneer on his face:

"Although your test scores are pretty good this time, you are a little complacent. Do you want to be promoted to Class B so soon? You are not enough!"

Sae Chabashira then wrote on the blackboard the points held by each class in this exam.

After this exam, excluding Class A, Class C gained a lot of points this time - but the points in the midterm exam did not account for many, not to mention that there was a certain gap between their class and Class B before. gap, so they still couldn't surpass Class B.

However, I have to admit that the gap between Class C and Class B has been further narrowed.

Looking at the numbers on the blackboard, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's brows raised slightly.

Because he noticed that the points obtained by Class D this time were the same as those of Class C.

[The points obtained by Class D are almost the same as ours... Does this mean that their class's scores in this exam are not much different from ours?]

[Judging from the previous class ranking, the average academic ability of Class D should not be high, but this time it was about the same as us who had the previous year's exam questions——]

[Does this mean that Class D, like us, obtained the test questions from the previous year's exam? Did they find out on their own—or did someone in our class snitch on it?]

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's reasoning speed is very fast, but now he only thinks that this possibility exists, and there is no substantial evidence.

And Kusuo Saiki knows all the truth.

His eyes moved to Kushida Kikyo. At this moment, Kushida Kikyo was chatting with the classmates sitting next to her about the midterm exam, as if she didn't know anything.

However, for Saiki Kusuo, it would be a good thing in a sense if Kushida Kikyo only informed Class D of the existence of last year's exam questions, so that their class improvement rate would be slightly slower.

Now they already have the enemy Class D. If they continue to rise in the rankings, they will definitely make more enemies.

However, if the actions of Kushida Kikyo and Ryūen Sho have an impact on Aki Kusuo in the future, he will not sit idly by.

"Put away your smile, this is just a midterm exam."

Sae Chabashira then took down the report card, then swept his eyes over the students in the class, observing their reactions.

"After that, there are many, many exams waiting for you."

[The average academic ability of these guys is not high. There is only one possibility to obtain such results, and that is to obtain the test papers for this exam in advance, just like the previous quiz——]

[However, this method will soon become ineffective.]

[Because there are no test questions that you can refer to when waiting for your exam next, and it is no longer a pure academic test.]

'Yeah, yeah, it looks like there will be a lot of trouble in the future.'

Saiki Kusuo shook his head slightly, hoping that nothing special would happen in future exams.

However, only Saiki Kusuo knew about Chabashira Sae's psychological activities, while the other students present were thinking about other things.

"This time's results... haven't they surpassed Class A? If this continues, the gap will become wider and wider! It seems that more talents will need to be added to the book club in the future."

'No more, I beg you.'

"Everyone's results are pretty good this time. Let's hold a celebration party tonight."

'This kind of thing is really meaningless, and even if you want to do it, you must not do it in my dormitory...'

[Let's continue holding it in Saiki's dormitory!]

'Do you have the ability to read minds?'

Just like that, another month slipped away quietly.
