In First Year Class A's classroom, most students did not move.
"Then, although the teacher is gone, as a member of the class, before going home, let's set a policy."
The first person to break the silence was Katsuragi Kouhei.
This Bald Head boy stood up and walked steadily to the podium.
"First of all, there is a question about Pop Quiz Pairing."
Katsuragi didn't talk nonsense, he got straight to the point, "Whether we form a team based on people with similar grades, or use high scores and low scores Complementary Mode, although the school has not announced the specific matching logic, this point... is not a fatal threat to us Class A."
This is a true statement.
Unlike Class D, a student with mixed grades, the quality of Class A is top-notch.
Even the students with the lowest grades in the class would be at the level of Top Student in other classes.
"As long as the range of Final Exam falls within the normal syllabus, no matter which two people are paired, it will be easy to get a total score of 60 points."
Many people in the audience nodded slightly and looked relaxed.
"So, the defensive issues can be put aside for the time being. The real core issue is..."
"Final Exam's 'Question'."
"How can we use this Four Hundred Questions to weaken our opponents to the greatest extent, or even directly seize the 50 points of Class Points from them."
The atmosphere in the classroom became a little more solemn.
"Does this need to be said?"
Hashimoto Masayoshi leaned back, with only the two back legs of the chair touching the ground, and his whole body moved forward and back as the chair rocked.
"Of course we should leave this kind of troublesome brain work to the guys with good grades. Do we expect those guys who only memorize by rote to come up with difficult trap questions?"
"Hashimoto may sound ugly, but the truth is true."
Katsuragi did not refute Hashimoto's slightly frivolous attitude, but nodded seriously, "The quality of the questions directly determines Attack Strength. If the questions we give are too simple, or if they are difficult but Solution Approach are single and easy to be cracked by the other party, then the gains outweigh the losses."
"But..."
Katsuragi's eyes passed over the faces of the top Top Students in the classroom, and his brows furrowed deeper.
"This also faces a dilemma."
"If in order to pursue the high quality and difficulty of the questions, the task of setting the questions is concentrated on a very small number of one or two top students, then while ensuring the quality, whether they can complete the huge workload of Four Hundred Questions within a month, and also take into account their own review, is a huge challenge."
"On the other hand, if multiple people are allowed to pose questions in order to share the pressure, the difficulty of the questions will vary, leaving opportunities for opponents to take advantage of."
There was a brief silence in the classroom.
Everyone understands the stakes involved, but in the face of this thankless drudgery, no one is willing to be the one who stands out easily.
If you do well, it's a matter of course; if you do poorly, you are the sinner of the class.
"Since no one is talking, let me introduce myself first."
Katsuragi sighed and patted his chest, "I am willing to take on part of the task of coming up with the question. As the proposer, this is my responsibility."
His responsibility has attracted admiration from many people.
"Um... I can count myself among them."
A boy wearing glasses sitting in the middle raised his hand, it was Sanada Yasuo.
His scores in Class A have always been at the forefront, and he has a calm personality. "Although I can't say how tricky the questions can be, it's okay to help share some of the basic questions."
"Very good."
Katsuragi nodded, then turned to look at the guy who was about to run away, "Hashimoto, what about you?"
"Spare me, Katsuragi."
Hashimoto Masayoshi immediately raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, with an exaggerated expression on his face that was a bit comical, "I'm only at the upper-middle level. If my questions are too easy and I lose points for the class, I can't bear the responsibility."
Typical excuse.
Everyone knows that Hashimoto has a quick mind, but he is the kind of person who can lie down and never sit down.
Katsuragi shook his head helplessly and turned his eyes to the other side.
Shiraishi Asuka, the girl who looked a little quiet, shook her head slightly after catching Katsuragi's gaze, saying that her abilities were limited and she did not want to participate in such high-intensity mental work.
And Sakayanagi Arisu sitting next to her.
She still held the cane in her hand, with a faint smile hanging on her lips.
She didn't speak or raise her hands, she just sat there quietly.
That attitude clearly showed that she did not intend to take action at this stage.
And...
Katsuragi's eyes searched around the classroom, and finally he could only sigh helplessly.
Morishita Ai...
That guy who always appears and disappears has disappeared without knowing when.
Probably taking advantage of the chaos after class just now, I slipped away early and dazed somewhere.
"This is going to be difficult..."
Katsuragi looked at the two lonely names on the blackboard.
Katsuragi Kouhei, Sanada Yasuo.
Although there are students like Tozuka Yahiko who are willing to go through fire and water for the class and are eager to try, Katsuragi is very clear that Tozuka's academic ability is indeed not up to the level of "can stump other classes Top Student".
If there is really no one left, they can only be enabled, but then Win Rate will be greatly compromised.
In the end, Katsuragi's eyes had to turn to the man who had been sitting by the window, holding his chin with one hand and looking at the scenery outside the window.
Kazehara Tetsu.
"Kagihara."
Katsuragi's voice was full of expectation, "What do you think? With your ability, if you can join the question group, our Class A's chances of winning will be much greater."
Kazehara Tetsu withdrew his gaze from the window.
He slowly turned his head, his black eyes calmly staring at Katsuragi on the podium.
All eyes were focused on him.
"Okay." Kazehara Tetsu's voice was flat.
"Huh..."
Katsuragi breathed a sigh of relief obviously, with a look of joy on his face, "That's great. With you joining, plus me and Sanada, if the three of us divide the work, Four Hundred Questions is urgent, but as long as we plan well..."
"No, Katsuragi, you seem to have misunderstood something."
Kazehara Tetsu interrupted Katsuragi's plan.
He changed his posture and tapped his fingers lightly on the table, making a rhythmic "click, click" sound.
"I mean..."
"If I really have to ask a question, I can do it alone."
"... Huh?"
This time, not only Katsuragi, but also Hashimoto Masayoshi, who was still snickering next to him, was stunned.
The whole class fell into a dead silence.
alone?
Four Hundred Questions?
It still needs to be completed within a month?
This is not only a matter of knowledge storage, but also a squeeze on energy.
