14 Chapter 14: The upcoming surprise exam.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[There are no blind spots in the entrance examination. The monitoring system is also perfect. There should be no possibility of cheating and just like what he said, one must know the ranking of others to get a middle rank. Controlling the ranks is more difficult than controlling scores]
[Could it be that Saiki can predict the others scores with his intellect alone?]
[How can that be, doesn't that mean that he has superpowers? Impossible]
Hearing his teacher's thoughts, Saiki's heart faltered for a second.
[That is simply fantasy. Maybe Saiki Kusuo's talent is really just an average one]
He breathed a sigh of relief. Even though the possibly of exposure was nearly zero, he still got nervous when Chabashira Sae started considering superpowers.
[What is his true level? Everything will be known after the surprise exam next week. Those defective trashes will certainly not expect the sudden examination. That exam is also a critical one for it will affect the points of the whole class. According to the situation, I'm afraid that the results will be unsatisfactory. It will be interesting to deduct point when that time come. Their despaired face will undoubtedly be pleasant to see]
'As a homeroom teacher, you can actually think of that to your students…'
Saiki also raised his eyebrow slightly.
'Still, a surprise exam will happen next week? It appears that it will have a great impact on our class points. Even though I don't want to interfere too much, it would be bad if all of our points are deducted'
He has an idea on his mind.
"What's going on with your physical performance? Your long-distance running seemed average but the others fluctuated crazily"
Saiki could only look for a random reason to explain this.
Chabashira Sae looked at Saiki and observed him carefully, wanting to see if there is any flaws in his expression.
Sadly, there was no change from the beginning to the end.
"Forget it, just enjoy your life in campus. I hope you will perform better in the future"
She shook her head and turn to leave.
[There doesn't seem anything special about him. Could it be that he really just entered because of a huge backer? This is really strange… I'll figure it out soon. This class of students is my opportunity, I must watch them climb up the rankings]
'She really has a greater desire to be promoted in Class than the students. It appears that she considers her students a merely tools for her wish'
Saiki thought about this before returning to the dormitory.
He placed the novels that he brought with him in the desk and checked his phone. There he saw many unread messages coming from a single contact.
It was Shiina.
Shiina Hiyori: Saiki-san, have you returned to your dormitory?
Shiina Hiyori: The novels that I just recommended are all great works! If you finish them then I can recommend a few more!
Shiina Hiyori: I think the 'Basic Puzzle Design' is particularly good!
Although she usually doesn't appear to be good at communicating, everything change when it comes to her beloved mystery novel. Shiina becomes an entirely different person when that happen.
'If I reply to her now then it will be troublesome to open the conversation later. It is better to not reply right now'
Saiki originally thought like this but after contemplating, he still picked up his phone and replied a few words.
At least chatting on the phone can free him from the worry of spoilers.
After he replied with few words, Shiina quickly responded with more messages.
Shiina Hiyori: Saiki-san, you even read that book? Oh right, can I call you Saiki-kun?
Shiina Hiyori: No one around me reads this type of novel!
Shiina Hiyori: If you have time, let's go out and read together! The library is fine but the school café is also good!
Saiki remembered that the coffee shop she mentioned has some great desserts.
He made an appointment in his mind.

The day passed and the daily life of Saiki did not change much.
There are more people late in class than yesterday and the idiotic trio were among them.
During class, the students didn't pay attention to the lesson. Some just played with their mobile phone, others are sleeping while the majority are chatting loudly.
Saiki could clearly hear their thoughts.
[This school is really awesome!]
[100,000 points a month, no tuition and all kinds of entertainment being provided… isn't this the best?!]
[What am I going to eat after class…]
Saiki made an estimation and found that almost half of the class were not listening at all. They were all on their own world.
'Based on this, I will not be surprised if all of them fail the exam'
Still, there are still people who were studying seriously. One of them is Horikita Suzune. She listened carefully to Chabashira-sensei's almost chanting lessons and is actually taking notes.
On the podium, Chabashira-sensei naturally noticed every action of theirs but kept a blind eye on it.
[You won't be able to laugh anymore soon]

After the morning class, the students went to the cafeteria to eat lunch. Saiki picked his chosen dish and choose a corner seat. He took this in hopes that he will not be disturb during his precious time.
There were strange students around him and most of them are seniors. Saiki stopped his chopstick when he heard their chat.
"These freshmen are about to take their surprise exam… if we had only known about this exam then we might have not fallen to Class D…"
"The exam is not easy, there are many topic that were not tackled in the curriculum. Still after their surprise exam, we will have our monthly exam too. We can't be relax this time"
"It's fine. We can just go the the 3rd year to buy the last year's papers. We just need to accumulate points to buy them"
In the noisy environment, it is difficult to hear their conversation. But sadly, Saiki could hear it clearly.
