Hidechi Gakuin, Otonogizaka Gakuin, private Toyosaki Gakuin, Toyohara Junior High School, Masanooka Gakuen, Seika Junior High School,
All the invigilators from the six universities stopped their watches on time and announced:
"The exam begins!"
Chapter 181 The Final Destination for the Autumn Trip
Swish!
At 5 p.m., the second-year classes at Xiuzhi Academy were filled with the constant rustling sound of writing.
On the podium, the proctor's strict gaze swept around.
At Sooji Gakuin, the consequences of being caught cheating are very serious.
After all, once the whole school is notified, there is no doubt that the person and their family will quickly become a laughing stock in the aristocratic circles!
That's why, in part, the high-achieving students at Sooji Academy are a product of being forced into it.
There's no way around it; as nobles, everyone cares a lot about their reputation!
Class 2F, as the largest mixed-age student group in the academy, initially attracted a lot of attention because of this, since many people believed that some non-aristocratic students might not have the quality of "540".
But after several rounds of rigorous and meticulous proctoring, the teachers were surprised to find that the children in Class F, despite their modest family backgrounds, seemed to demonstrate better discipline than the other children.
"Dingling bell~!"
The urgent ringing of the school bell shattered the oppressive atmosphere in the classroom.
The proctor on the podium said, "Please put down your pens. I will collect your exam papers one by one."
Luo Chen simply threw down the pen and gently rubbed his hands.
I'm in a good mood.
Very comfortable.
After a day of exams, I answered almost all the questions with ease.
不但可以只是用不到1/4的时间做完全部题目，还可以利用剩下的3/4时间检查10遍以上。
"It should be stable now."
Luo Chen interlaced his fingers and rested them on his chin, quietly waiting for the proctor to collect the papers, but his gaze involuntarily drifted a few times to the empty seat to his left.
Yukino Yukinoshita didn't come today.
Very strange.
It's just a sprained ankle. Although walking might be a bit strenuous, after a night's rest and with a cane, it'll be easy to get back.
Moreover, today is the six-school joint examination, which is undoubtedly more important than any other day.
5 minute later.
The invigilator collected the last student's exam paper from the classroom, coughed twice, and said, "That's enough, dismissed."
"Oh~!!"
"Oh my god, the exams are finally over! This was devastating!"
"The questions this time were so difficult, sob sob. I seriously suspect that the school administration deliberately targeted our fall trip and didn't want us to experience the joy of the journey."
"Yes, it's so painful!"
Class 2-F erupted in a chorus of groans and cheers of liberation.
Of course, some students were also whispering worriedly:
"Hey~ Did you notice? Yukinoshita-san isn't here today! Oh no! With Yukinoshita-san helping to raise the average score, our F class can only rank 5th. Now that Yukinoshita-san isn't taking the exam... I have a feeling we're going to be last this time!"
"Fuck!"
"Hiratsuka-sensei will be so angry she'll kill someone!"
"How scary~~"
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.
Before the first student in Class F stepped out of the classroom, Hiratsuka Shizuka arrived precisely at the classroom, clapped her hands, and said:
"Don't leave yet. After the weekend, the autumn trip will start next week and last for three days. Let's discuss and decide where our class will go for the autumn trip."
"Oh?!"
When they heard that Hiratsuka Shizuka was talking about autumn travel destinations instead of exams, everyone suddenly became excited.
"Akihabara! Akihabara! You absolutely have to go to Akihabara! And it's right in Chiyoda Ward, super close by!"
"Pah! You wretched otaku! Kanagawa is clearly the best place for an autumn trip, okay? Hakone's hot springs, waah~ I long for them so much."
I want to go to Yokohama!
"Osaka, Osaka! I want to visit Osaka Castle! And Kawabata Yasunari's former residence!"
"Agreed! Osaka also has an Autumn Foliage Festival! I heard there will be a fireworks display, that sounds amazing, I support it too!"
"Ah... I actually kind of want to go to Kyoto."
"..."
Hiratsuka Shizuka listened with a half-smile, arms crossed. After everyone had finished giving their suggestions, she turned around and wrote a few place names on the blackboard.
Chiyoda, Kanagawa Prefecture, Kyoto, Yokohama, Osaka, and many more are all included.
"Alright, let's start voting now. One vote per person. After you've finished writing, bring it to the podium," Hiratsuka Shizuka said.
Swish!
In an instant, everyone lowered their heads and began writing with great enthusiasm, many times more so than during the exam.
Before long, Hiratsuka Shizuka received many votes on the podium. As the crowd thinned out, everyone looked up and waited expectantly again. Hiratsuka Shizuka clutched the ballot and asked, "Is no one else here?"
"……Have."
An uncertain voice rang out.
Everyone looked over in surprise, and when they saw it was Kaguya Shinomiya, they all lowered their heads.
"this is mine."
Kaguya Shinomiya gripped her ballot tightly, went up on stage, handed it to Shizuka Hiratsuka, and then silently returned to her seat with her hands folded in front of her lower abdomen.
Luo Chen found it strange; why did he feel that Kaguya Shinomiya's behavior was a bit off?
"Hey, Hayama~ Do you think the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family can come with us on this autumn trip?" Tobe Sho lowered his voice and turned around to ask, unable to contain his curiosity.
"I don't know." Hayato Hayama shook his head helplessly.
Hobu Sho scratched his head and said, "I thought that since you're all from wealthy families, you would understand."
Hayato Hayama was a little embarrassed. He touched the tip of his nose and tried to put on his usual smile, explaining, "It's different."
"Huh?" Tobu Sho still didn't understand.
Hayato Hayama didn't say anything more, and looked up at the podium.
Luo Chen narrowed his eyes.
He was separated from Hayato Hayama by only an aisle, and although he didn't want to eavesdrop, he still overheard their conversation.
He looked thoughtfully at Kaguya Shinomiya. So this girl hadn't participated in the last, or rather, the previous few, class outings?
Come to think of it, she is, after all, the daughter of the Shinomiya family.
"Alright, the voting and selection process is complete."
Hiratsuka Shizuka spoke again, turned around, and waved her finger over several place names on the blackboard. Finally, she pointed to the second place name:
"Class 2-F's final destination for the fall trip: Kanagawa Prefecture!"
Chapter 182 Secretly Kidnapping Miss Shinomiya~
"President~".
After Hiratsuka Shizuka left, Shinomiya Kaguya came to Luo Chen's table and called out softly.
Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, stood up halfway, but had to sit back down because of the height difference, and asked with a forced smile, "Is there something you need, Kaguya-san?"
"Do me a favor," Kaguya Shinomiya said.
Luo Chen immediately had a bad feeling.
No way.
Could it be that this guy wants him to...?
“I really want to go on an autumn trip, even if it’s just for a day,” Kaguya Shinomiya said softly.
Luo Chen was both amused and exasperated.
It turned out to be this.
"Isn't autumn trip something you can just go whenever you want? What makes you say that, Kaguya-san?" Luo Chen asked knowingly.
