The third task?
Indeed.
By the third question, the students already had to make a choice.
And once they made that choice, it had to be carried out.
That meant they needed to choose carefully.
So the questions would only get harder, then.
As for the other classes—
This question posed no problem when it came to making a choice.
Over in Class 2-B, where the great angel Ichinose was—
They would sacrifice the class's—

It looked like a bargain.
Even the halved option could protect one student, so that was still a bargain.
As for the final option—ignoring expulsion protection and instead setting the Private Points of the bottom five students in the written exam to zero—no one chose it.

After they received a break due to the lack of unanimous agreement, Ichinose stood up and spoke.
Option 1 looked wonderful. It seemed extremely worthwhile.
But it only provided protection for three specific students. If someone else was expelled during
