"Okay, everyone."
Kazehara Tetsu is standing between the two groups of people.
"The current situation seems to have an interesting deviation."
"Look around. Class A and Class B no longer want to play with you. The only ones here are you two brothers in distress."
"That is to say..."
Kazehara Tetsu stretched out a finger and shook it, "If you only team up with each other, then the idea of 'mixing multiple classes to Double Points' can only be doubled at most. In other words, there is no additional multiplier bonus at all."
"Besides, it's impossible for you to copy my ideas."
"Because you can't get together Four Classes. You only have two classes. If the two classes are mixed, the best multiplier is to have 15 people in the group and get 1.5 times."
Having said this, Kazehara Tetsu paused and his eyes pointed directly at a painful spot on Class C's side.
"But..."
"Mathematics is a very cruel thing, isn't it?"
"Class C Expulsion passed two people."
This fact was thrown out by him without mercy.
"This leads to... If you Class C and Class D each want to form a 'profit maximization' Small Group of 15 people, that is, 30 people."
"So, what about the rest?"
Class C remaining boys, plus Class D remaining boys.
Subtract those that have been absorbed before, and then subtract two 15-person groups.
"There are only about 8 people left."
"8 people. If you want to form Small Group, there are too few people."
Kazehara Tetsu spread his hands and shook his head with regret.
"If there are less than 10 people, the multiplier will be less than 1. If there are 8 people in a group, it will be 0.8 times."
"You worked so hard to finish the exam, and finally got the Points at a 20% discount?"
"This is such a shame, isn't it?"
These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of every student present who was still calculating petty gains.
If it is 0.8 times, it is not just a matter of making less money, but a disguised punishment.
"Then... then what suggestions do you have?"
Class D In the crowd, Ishizaki Daichi couldn't help shouting.
Although he was very upset about Kazehara Tetsu taking away Ryuen, this man seemed to have the only way to survive.
"Suggestion?"
Kazehara Tetsu smiled.
He turned sideways and pointed at the "Third Group" behind him that had just been formed and was in standby mode.
"Now, you'd better consider the opportunities here."
"That Small Group currently only has 12 people. They are a mixture of Class A and Class B."
"There are... three places left."
"If these three quotas are filled by people like you Class C or Class D."
"Then this Small Group will become a mixed Small Group containing three classes: A, B, C (or D). The magnification is directly Double!"
"If Class C and Class D come from each... then it's a mixed crew of four!"
"This is a ride that can get you the highest magnification. And..."
"As long as you put people into this group, the pressure on the remaining people on your side will be reduced. Even if you only solve the fate of three people, it will make the remaining people more flexible when grouping, so that everyone will not fall into the quagmire of 0.9 times."
"How's it going?"
He looked around at the two groups of struggling boys.
"This is a limited time sale. There are only three spots."
"Let these three people get high-rate rewards and earn Points for the class..."
"Or let them stay in the mud and lose money with everyone else?"
"The choice is in your hands."
Silence.
Dead silence.
But this silence did not last long.
Because everyone can hear the gradually heavier breathing of their companions around them.
"I... I'm going!"
Finally, someone broke the deadlock.
It is no longer for the sake of the class, but for yourself.
Since you can go to a group that is obviously dominated by Class A and seems to be able to Points Double, who wants to stay in a group that is full of weaklings and be afraid?
The scene instantly became commotion.
"Me! I join!"
"Choose me! I'm obedient!"
The "weak" members of the two classes who should have been not only competitors, but even mortal enemies, are now rushing towards the "Third Group" composed of Class A and Class B.
"Don't crowd."
Kanzaki Ryuji, who was standing next to him, pushed up his glasses and frowned as he looked at this chaotic scene.
This naked ugliness made him, a man with a strict personality, feel a little bit physically uncomfortable.
But he also understands that this is the situation created by Kazehara Tetsu...
Take advantage of the scarcity of resources and take the initiative completely into your own hands.
"Class A has 7 people left, Class B has 5 people left, and the current configuration is 12 people."
"You, the one from Class C." Kazehara Tetsu pointed at a boy.
"And you, you." He pointed to the other two.
"Class C comes two, Class D comes one."
This is the final verdict.
The three people who were called had expressions of ecstasy on their faces, and they ran into the team of Class A and Class B, fearing that Kazehara Tetsu would regret it if they were one second too late.
As for those who were not selected, their outstretched hands froze in mid-air, and the expressions on their faces instantly changed from hope to despair.
So far, the members of Third Group are: Class A 7 people, Class B 5 people, Class C 2 people, Class D 1 people.
15 people in total.
Another fully-stocked, multi-class hybrid Small Group with extremely high Points magnification in theory was born.
"Okay."
He nodded to Kanzaki Ryuji, "Go and register."
With the departure of Third Group, a large area of Gymnasium's originally crowded area instantly became vacant.
What's left is dead silence.
33 people.
These 33 boys stood alone.
They are all the remaining boys from Class C and Class D.
There is no longer the absolute leadership of Class A, nor the atmosphere of unity of Class B.
What is before them at this moment is a necessary negotiation to "divide the spoils".
"... Damn."
Someone cursed in a low voice, breaking the silence.
The original sense of luck was completely shattered.
Now, they have to face reality... Without Class A and Class B's lap to hold, they can only find a way out between each other.
"How to divide it?"
Ishizaki Daichi gritted his teeth and looked at the group of guys Class C opposite with the same ugly expressions.
"If we don't gather enough people, the multiplier will be lower than 1. None of us want to lose money."
Class C, without the absolute core of Ryuen, the remaining boys are leaderless and can only look at each other, trying to find someone who can make decisions.
In the end, it was Class D's brain trust Kaneda Satoru who stepped forward.
"We have to group up."
"33 people. If we want to minimize losses, we can only try to get as close as possible to the upper limit of 15 people."
"But we can't make up two 15-person groups!" Hirata Yosuke retorted.
"If we have to gather two 15 people, that would be 30 people. What should we do with the remaining 3 people?"
That's right.
If you pursue the high magnification of the two groups, you will create a "sacrifice group" that is bound to die.
And no one present wanted to be those three unlucky guys.
"Then it can only be... an average score."
average score.
That is to say, give up the pursuit of the ultimate multiple and instead pursue "stop loss".
The argument broke out instantly.
