Sometimes, underneath the seemingly calm sea, there are actually rough waves.
What people can see is always just the tip of the iceberg.
Just like the students sitting in this classroom right now. On the surface, everyone is listening to the lectures seriously and absorbing knowledge in a down-to-earth manner.
However, in fact, the man sitting in front of Wen was secretly flipping through the picture album in the drawer, the girl sitting on Wen's right was doing her hair in front of the small mirror in the palm of her hand, and Ge Li sitting on the left Edgeworth lowered his head and wrote a small note attentively...
Everyone's expressions were very serious, but what they were doing had nothing to do with learning.
There is no hope, the aristocracy of this country.
After Ge Li finished writing a paragraph, he folded the note in half several times, spotted the moment when the teacher on the podium turned his back, and accurately dropped it on Wayne's desk.
Wayne looked at her.
The cloudless blue sky outside the window was very bright, and the gentle wind blew a corner of the thin curtains, floating back and forth behind her.
Ge Li looked intently, not even looking at him.
Wayne twitched the corners of his mouth, grabbed the note and unfolded it.
[Action plan: When it’s time for free activities, you can drag His Royal Highness to the Lily Club’s exclusive activity room. I will also be waiting for you there. We must succeed! (This note will be destroyed immediately after reading it)]
Very mobile.
Wayne drew a thumbs up and threw it back.
It seems that Kareli-san expects not only to obey his own arrangements, but also to take the initiative.
Wayne looked at the back of Richard, who was sitting in the middle seat. His Royal Highness, the prince with perfect evaluation, was one of the only people in this classroom who was studying seriously. What a sad reality.
However, with such an outstanding heir to the kingdom, at least for the next period of time, even if the other nobles are useless, the political ecology of the Kingdom of St. Lornes will at least be stable.
This is one of the few places where people can feel reassured.
After class was over, Wayne pretended that he had something to communicate with the prince and asked him if he was free to go to the Lily Club's activity room.
Richard looked completely unprepared and easily agreed to his proposal.
"By the way, Wayne seems to have been going to the Lily Club a lot recently. Has he lost interest in the handicraft department?" Richard joked.
"How is that possible?" Wayne laughed dryly, "It's just because a lot of new girls have joined the handicraft department, and they are noisy in the department every day, but I prefer to be quiet."
The current handicraft department is completely different from the original club.
Instead, it evolved into a base camp for Chrissy’s crazy fans.
No matter what Chris said or did, the girls kept complimenting her, and then Chris responded with a spring-like smile and cooperated in talking about the topics among the noble ladies.
for example:
"Oh, your new hair style looks really nice!"
"The smell of this perfume is impressive. Where did you buy it? I would also like to recommend it to my relatives and friends..."
He didn't know if Chris found it interesting, but he couldn't stand it anyway.
Hearing what he said, the prince showed a very understanding expression.
"Indeed, places with many girls will inevitably be like that——"
Gavin on the side interjected disapprovingly: "You two can't do this. You must learn to appreciate the beauty and cuteness of girls! Especially those girls who will blush because of your words."
"Hasn't Gavin never been close to a girl? Why do you say it so naturally?"
Richard mercilessly exposes his bumbling friend.
Gavin's face immediately dropped.
"I also want to get close to girls! But when it comes to Richard, they all just chase the prince and completely ignore my feelings."
Yes, Richard's charm is so unreasonable.
Prince Richard, who was so charming, could only smile helplessly after hearing his friend's complaints.
Taking advantage of their chance to chat, Song Li had already left the classroom one step ahead.
Only when she arrived at the activity room before Richard did it not seem so deliberate.
When we arrived at the Lily Club, we were surprised that there were so many people present today, and President Chrissy and Sophia were also there.
Just by turning his gaze slightly, Wayne saw Ge Li sitting far away, seemingly sulking.
Seeing Wayne and the others, Sophia was a little surprised, but then she smiled and said, "Why are everyone here so much today? Did you all have a premonition that important news will be announced?"
"What news?" Wayne asked casually.
"News about the midterm exams, of course."
"Eh--"
Everyone was shocked.
"What!?" Gavin felt as if he was struck by lightning, "Why did you win the final so soon!"
Chrissy, who was sitting next to Sophia, couldn't help but stiffen her expression.
"Midterm exams are always very quick. They are always held shortly after the academy party." Sophia took out a document. "According to the decision of the Academy Council, the date of this year's midterm exam is initially scheduled for November 5."
She placed the papers on the conference table.
"This is the unsealed announcement. It will be posted on the school bulletin board next week. You can circulate it first."
The Lily Club can even obtain such unpublished school-level documents in advance. It can be said that it is an organization that uses high-level internal information as a hidden benefit. Its power is unfathomable.
Wayne admired Sophia's methods.
The announcement contained very ordinary formal language, saying that it wanted to test the students' learning results over the past period.
"It's finished, I'm finished." Chris murmured, her eyes darkened.
Wayne walked up to Chris, put his arm around her shoulders solemnly, and turned her towards him.
"Chris, no matter what difficulties you encounter, don't be afraid, face it bravely! There is still more than a week left, we can create miracles! Believe in yourself!" He said with determination.
"Tsk, this kind of thing is a piece of cake."
Song Li said that the test was not worth mentioning.
"The most important news today is this. After the midterm test, Lily will hold a social gathering. Each person can bring one companion, so you must come~"
After Sophia finished saying this, she neatly packed her things and left.
He must have gone to see the Minister again. The two of them have been inseparable recently.
However, Chrissy showed no sign of leaving.
After recovering from the heavy blow of the upcoming exam, she still stayed in the handicraft department and made a cup of coffee by herself.
"Would you like a drink Wayne?"
Behind her, Song Li was glaring fiercely at Wayne, emitting a fatal ray with his eyes.
"Ah... no need."
After reluctantly refusing, he pretended to be casual and asked, "Isn't Chris going to the handicraft department?"
