Simply put, the first challenge from a person could provide him with a large amount of reputation points, the second challenge would only yield half of the first, the third would be half of the second, and so on.
This also prevented Hoshino Sora from trying to milk one person for reputation points. Fortunately, before these third-year students graduated, they had all more or less dueled him, contributing their reputation points.
Otherwise, he would add a requirement that one must challenge him to graduate. Students who have grown to third year through countless trials should be quite strong!
"Hey~ What are you thinking about? So serious, I called you several times and you didn't respond."
Reaching out and jumping to make gestures in front of Hoshino Sora, Akikubo Momo tilted her head, her expression a bit puzzled, looking at his somewhat dazed eyes.
"Of course I'm thinking about the future. Peach, what are you planning to do after graduation?"
Looking at Akikubo Momo, who was a head and a half shorter than him, Hoshino Sora smiled and stroked her head as he asked.
"Continue to operate the dessert company, make Akikubo Desserts famous worldwide, and become a true top-tier presence in the dessert industry."
Akikubo Momo said with great ambition. It was hard to imagine such words coming from a small loli, even though this loli was already an adult, the contrast was still very great.
"Is that so? I will support Peach."
Thinking that Gourmet Manor could provide many high-quality ingredients, and that it was better to keep the good things in the family, Hoshino Sora decided to give everything to Akikubo Momo, so that her desserts could reach a higher level.
"Don't call me Peach anymore, we're already so close. Calling me 'Peach' is too formal!"
Noticing Hoshino Sora's address for her, Akikubo Momo was a bit displeased. It was fine before, but now that they had already become intimate, such an address felt too distant!
As she spoke, her cheeks puffed out slightly, clearly trying to use cuteness to make him change his address.
"Okay, then… Peach, how about that name?"
Leaning down slightly, Hoshino Sora's eyes sparkled with affection as he looked at Akikubo Momo's tender face. Then he kissed her face enthusiastically, and after he was done, he said in a doting tone.
"Peach, Peach likes this nickname."
Hearing Hoshino Sora's words, Akikubo Momo's tender little face instantly turned red. The intimate address made little hearts pop out of her eyes, clearly indicating her deep infatuation with the man in front of her.
She didn't know when it started.
"Sora, the driver is here to pick me up. I'll come to see you all in a while. Remember to LINE me if anything happens."
"Goodbye, Peach."
Waving goodbye to Akikubo Momo, Hoshino Sora turned and left, preparing to return to Yōbi Dormitory. However, he hadn't gone far when he saw Erina Nakiri and Hisako Arato hiding behind a tree, watching the show.
"Oh, Sora is back?"
Looking at the man walking towards them, Erina Nakiri and Hisako Arato exchanged glances, then deliberately teased him with affected tones, one on his left and one on his right, coming up to his side as they spoke.
"You two dare to make fun of me! Take this!"
Hearing their mockery, Hoshino Sora was naturally very displeased. He then flicked his fingers, attacking the ticklish spots on their waists and abdomens. Erina and Hisako, of course, couldn't just stand there and take it; they giggled and scattered, running away.
For a moment, the atmosphere on the scene became incredibly romantic and ambiguous.
If such a sight were seen by Far Moon students, their jaws would surely drop. The esteemed Academy Director and her secretary were openly playing a chasing game with the Ten Elite First Seat in the plaza?!
"Alright, alright, no more playing. I came to find you today because I have something to ask of you."
After playing and frolicking for a while, Erina Nakiri stopped, then pleaded with Hoshino Sora, throwing herself into his arms to restrict his movements.
Hisako, seeing this, also stopped her actions and stood obediently beside the two of them.
"What is it? That it would trouble Director Erina to come in person."
Lowering his head, Hoshino Sora asked doubtfully, looking at the cunning girl in front of him, his tone tinged with a bit of sarcasm.
"Spring break starts today. After spring break, we'll all be second-years, and new first-years will be reporting, along with some transfer students, just like you were back then."
"Mm, so what? You're not trying to make me an examiner, are you?"
At this, Hoshino Sora looked at Erina Nakiri with a hint of vigilance. He naturally felt a bit resistant to such thankless tasks.
"Look, I examined you back then, and you examine the next generation. Doesn't that count as a kind of legacy?"
"Don't give me that twisted logic here. I'm telling you, I'm very busy. I have to deal with Food Wars during the day and go to the restaurant at night. You should ask someone else for this!"
Hoshino Sora refused without even thinking. This kind of thankless task, Erina Nakiri herself wasn't willing to do back then, so why was she giving it to him now?
"Please, please, I can't do it without you. This year, there are especially many transfer students coming to Far Moon for interviews, and even quite a few Chinese exchange students. I'll even send four people to assist you!"
As she spoke, Erina Nakiri acted spoiled in Hoshino Sora's arms, her large eyes filled with vulnerability, and her voice lost its usual assertiveness, completely like a little girl.
"Is it impossible without me?"
Seeing Erina Nakiri's appearance, Hoshino Sora couldn't help but say softly, reaching out to stroke her soft long hair as he spoke.
"It's impossible without you. There are a few children from major financial groups coming for the assessment this time. If a regular teacher goes, they might not be able to control the situation, so I can only ask you, Sora~"
"You're still doing that!"
Hearing the last sentence, Hoshino Sora couldn't help but tease Erina Nakiri again, then calmed down: "Consider it a reward for helping me with the Elite Ten documents. I'll help with this."
It was indeed a very troublesome matter for the children of influential families to come to Far Moon. At the very least, Erina Nakiri could not appear. As for the academy teachers, many of them would probably turn into sycophants upon seeing the children of influential families, so it was not feasible for them to be examiners.
After much thought, it seemed that only the unattached Hoshino Sora was most suitable to be the examiner, and his reputation was great, he was trusted, so being the examiner was also a matter of course.
"Then it's happily decided."
After a brief discussion about the transfer student assessment, Erina Nakiri's face showed a relieved expression after she had explained everything.
This matter was neither big nor small, and quite troublesome to resolve. Now that Hoshino Sora was willing to help, it was already the best possible outcome for this matter.
"I'll go to your place in a couple of days. I need a reward."
Looking at the happy Erina Nakiri, Hoshino Sora stepped forward and put his arm around her waist, then spoke in a 'coercive' tone, his hand becoming restless as he spoke.
"Got it, I'll satisfy you then."
Hearing Hoshino Sora's voice, Erina Nakiri's body trembled, then as if she thought of something, she retorted with a reproachful tone, her face flushed crimson.
"You know what I want, and Hisako, you're not allowed to back out at the last minute."
After looking at Erina Nakiri, he looked at Hisako Arato, then boldly grabbed her hand, his words carrying a hint of ambiguity. No matter what, this master and servant pair wouldn't escape tonight!
"Got it, I'll obey you in everything. You can do whatever you want, but don't bully Erina too much!"
"Hisako!"
Hearing Hisako Arato's words, Erina Nakiri said with immense emotion, then looked at her with affectionate eyes.
"Hahahaha, don't worry, I definitely won't show favoritism."
Hearing Hisako Arato's words, Hoshino Sora couldn't help but burst out laughing, then pulled the two of them into his arms, one on each side. He had always been 'very fair' to his women.
Of course, the saying that the squeaky wheel gets the grease is universally applicable.
For girls who offered themselves, Hoshino Sora always readily complied, and would do his utmost to give them the best experience!
"We have other things to do next, so we'll leave first. I'll call you when it's time."
"Got it, call me two days in advance so I can be mentally prepared."
"That's a must."
Watching Erina Nakiri and Hisako Arato's figures gradually recede, Hoshino Sora lowered his head and started playing with his phone, opening the chat history with Kitagawa Marin.
[Kitagawa Marin]: When do you guys have spring break? We have it tomorrow, I'll come find you then.
[Hoshino Sora]: Me too tomorrow. I'll pick you up then, just wait for me at the school gate after school.
[Kitagawa Marin]: Really?! Yay, my darling husband is coming to pick me up!
[Kitagawa Marin]: Image * 1
[Kitagawa Marin]: I'm wearing this set today. This is the same style of underwear as the heroine from the game 'Dark Fallen Girl'. You can look forward to it a little~
[Hoshino Sora]: Don't take such strange selfies in the bathroom. When I come to your house, I'll appreciate it properly!
[Kitagawa Marin]: Your humble servant awaits at any time~
Looking at the chat messages on his phone, Hoshino Sora's face broke into a smile.
Because he hadn't seen Kitagawa for a long time, he couldn't help but miss this eccentric girl. As for Yui Yuigahama, that girl still had two more days until spring break, he would pick her up when the time came.
Although it was still a bit early, waiting ahead of time wouldn't hurt. It was better for him to wait for her than for her to wait for him, after all, she was a girl, and at her school gate. As a boyfriend, he had to give her some face, right?
Seriously, having a super handsome boyfriend waiting at the school gate after high school was really cool!
Hoshino Sora could already imagine Kitagawa's joyful expression when she saw him at the school gate!
No sooner said than done, after leaving Far Moon, Hoshino Sora casually hailed a ride and headed towards Kitagawa Marin's school. He even got out to buy a bouquet of flowers when passing a flower shop.
No matter what, the sense of ritual must be strong!
On the other side.
"Ding-a-ling~"
"Ding-a-ling~"
As a clear bell rang, the quiet classroom suddenly became noisy. The lecturing teacher, seeing this, silently put down the chalk and turned around.
"All the homework is on the blackboard. While everyone has fun this spring break, remember not to forget your studies. We will check everyone's homework when school starts, and those who haven't finished will not be allowed into the classroom."
