Chương 46: Rin: How did I suddenly become a loser heroine?

Looking at the notebook that Yang Cheng handed him, Karuizawa Kei opened it with some confusion, and soon discovered that it contained a lot of exercises.

Before Karuizawa Kei could voice her doubts, Yosei spoke first, saying, "These are the questions from last year's midterm exam."

Although the reason is unknown, the school's exam questions seem to have a remarkably high rate of repetition each year.

In Yang Cheng's view, it was quite absurd that a school that prioritized academic excellence would have almost identical exam questions every year.

However, after multiple verifications, and considering that this was indeed how Brother Lu obtained the test questions in the original story, Yang Cheng concluded that perhaps this setting was intentional on the part of the school.

Not all students in Class A are academically or physically excellent, and not all students in Class D are academically poor.

Just like the Chunin Exams in the Naruto world, is the focus really on the exam itself?

No, the key is to test one's ability to gather intelligence.

Similarly, as a higher education institution that cultivates social elites, academic performance is one aspect, but another aspect may also be testing students' logical thinking and adaptability through this method.

People who simply follow the rules and get good grades are at best talented; only those who can break the rules can be called geniuses.

Upon hearing Yang Cheng say that the test questions in the notebook were very likely the content of this exam, Karuizawa Kei's face also showed a hint of excitement.

She was actually quite worried about the midterm exams.

Although not as bad as Yamauchi and Sudo, Karuizawa Megumi was still a struggling student barely passing the exams.

Since the start of the school year a month ago, Chabashira Sae's indulgent behavior has caused them to not listen to anything in class.

Recently, Karuizawa Kei also planned to form a study group to make up for lost time, but unfortunately, the progress seems to be lagging behind.

Yang Cheng is currently saying that the questions in the notebook are very likely to be the content that will be tested this time, so he is naturally extremely excited.

However, after the initial excitement, Karuizawa Kei couldn't help but start to worry.

Because their actions are undoubtedly cheating.

If the school finds out, not only her, but also Yang Cheng, who provided her with the exam questions, wouldn't he also be...

"If you don't cheat on the exam, you'll be a junior next year!"

Moreover, the test questions you have were actually obtained from a second-grader.

Our current actions can be considered guessing the exam questions, not cheating.

You can use these test questions yourself, or share them with other students in Class D. This will help you improve your reputation within Class D.

How Yang Cheng obtained these test questions from the second-year students is unknown to Karuizawa Megumi, but it must have been no simple matter, and he must have paid a certain price.

But the favor he asked me to do, though he claimed to be asking me to help, actually seemed to be something that I was the one being helped and benefiting from.

Many students in Class D are currently worried about their exams, and it would be great if I could step in and help them through this difficult time.

It's easy to imagine that I would earn the gratitude of everyone in Class D, and even become one of the core leaders of the class.

Watching Yang Cheng's departing figure in the night, Karuizawa Megumi, clutching her notebook, felt inexplicably moved.

Now she even doubts whether Yang Cheng really likes her.

Otherwise, why would the other party help me so much?

If Yosei knew what Karuizawa Kei was thinking at that moment, he would definitely cry out that he was wronged.

He agreed to be Karuizawa Megumi's fake boyfriend, but Yosei thought that Kikyo Kushida was too troublesome, so while helping Karuizawa Megumi, he also asked her to act as a shield.

As for sending the exam questions to the other party and asking them to do favors for the other students in Class D, that was entirely Yang Cheng's whim.

What difference does it make who gets the test questions? The main issue is that Yang Cheng knows very few people.

The low-key Brother Lu would definitely not do such a thing.

As for Horikita Suzune, with her aloof personality, she's not suited for this task; she might even end up doing something bad instead of doing something good.

Kikyo Kushida... is indeed quite suitable, but why should Yang Cheng help this woman build up her reputation and popularity?

After eliminating those unsuitable individuals, what remains is naturally only Karuizawa Kei, whom I met today.

As for Karuizawa Kei's imagination of the enormous price Yosei paid to obtain these test questions, that's utter nonsense.

He was the "senior of Class A in the third year," and with just a slight opening of his mouth, the second-year students immediately vied to show off in front of him.

As for buying things with personal points, that's a joke. If an outstanding senior asks a junior for something, would he ask for money?

Yang Cheng had even considered using his personal points to directly purchase the exam answers from Chabashira Sae.

After all, if even scores can be bought, buying test answers doesn't seem impossible.

However, considering that purchasing the complete answer key would require a considerable number of personal points, Yang Cheng ultimately had to give up.

The next morning, another bombshell piece of news spread throughout Class D.

Because the hot and beautiful girl in my class, Karuizawa Megumi, has announced that she is dating her classmate, Minami Hisa Makoto.

At first, Karuizawa Kei "casually" told her gossipy friend about the news.

This big-mouthed friend said he would keep it a secret, but in less than half an hour, everyone in Class D knew the news.

This news surprised not only the onlookers in Class D, but also Kikyo Kushida, Suzune Horikita, and even Ayanokouji.

In their view, Yang Cheng and Karuizawa Kei had almost no interaction, so how could they become a couple after just one night?

And isn't Horikita Suzune the person Yangcheng likes?

When Yang Cheng, the melon master, entered the D class classroom, he found that everyone's eyes were on him. Then he noticed Karuizawa Megumi on the other side, who seemed to be interested in him, and immediately understood why.

"Rumors have suddenly spread in Class D that you are dating Karuizawa."

Although I don't know who's behind this, you'd better clarify things.

Faced with Horikita Suzune's seemingly indifferent but well-intentioned reminder, Yosei rested his chin on his hand and said, "There's no need to clarify, because it's true."

Horikita Suzune: (´･Д･)」

"Oh, I see. I was being a bit nosy."

Although I was curious about what had happened and why Yosei would suddenly start dating Karuizawa Megumi.

But before she could finish speaking, Horikita Suzune suddenly realized that she didn't seem to have any reason or right to question Yosei...

I'm not anyone to the other person, so it's entirely their freedom to associate with whomever they want.

Besides, wasn't I just worrying about how to reject Yang Cheng's affections a few days ago?

Now that the other party is dating Karuizawa Kei, isn't that just saving me a lot of trouble?

But why do I feel a little uneasy inside?
