Come to Think of It, Asakusa-kun Has Never Publicly Dated Anyone, Has He?
"In addition, although there was a 'guess the leader' test, the test ended early and all students from the other three classes except Class A left the room, so the results of this test will not be included in the score change for that section."
Ultimately, they didn't even let anyone guess what it was.
"Although the exam time has been shortened, the 'outpost capture' points that should have been earned will be calculated based on the results of the normal exam. Therefore, if there are any discrepancies between the scores and the actual scores, please confirm with your teacher. The school will not make any mistakes."
After a brief pause, Mashima Tomoya continued:
"The rankings for this Uninhabited Island Special Exam will now be announced."
"Last place, Class 1-D, Grade 1, 0 points."
The students from Class D, who were called out, were not surprised at all, laughing and joking.
"Hey, hey, hey, Class B and Class C also got zero points, so why are we ranked last?!"
"Idiots, it's because you were the first to leave!"
"Pfft, I wonder which class didn't get a single point and even spent extra money buying supplies from us~"
It was quite ironic; someone made a mocking sound towards the students in Class B.
If everyone scores zero, then obviously, the one who benefits more elsewhere will be the one who can stand up straight the most.
"Third place, First-Year Class B, disqualified."
"--Hmph!" With a cold snort, the students of Class B held their breath, intending to ignore the guys from Class D.
"It's all that Kito's fault," he muttered.
"Don't do that, he's already been punished," someone whispered, trying to comfort him.
He curled his lip. "What kind of punishment is a seven-day house arrest? Deducting Private Points is pointless. In the end, he doesn't even have any points to deduct, right?"
Kito Hayato's violation will not only disqualify them from the exam, but will also deduct all of his personal Private Points.
"That Sakayanagi guy is just going through the motions of punishing her. Do you really think she'd actually punish her trusted confidante?" he muttered, his voice slightly sullen with dissatisfaction.
"Alright, let's leave this topic at that." Although he lowered his voice, it was clear that many people could still hear him clearly, especially Katsuragi Kohei.
He placed his hand calmly on his shoulder. "The class leader is Sakayanagi Arisu, remember that."
In order to maintain the stability of the class, even his feelings towards Sakayanagi Arisu need to be extinguished before they even begin to escalate.
"Second place, First-Year Class C, 18 points." Mashima Tomoya was still announcing the exam results.
The basic scores were reset, but Class C still managed to occupy a stronghold, so the school still left them with 18 points over the seven days.
Why weren't all the points deducted? Because the points for capturing strongholds are calculated at the very end.
If the leader's guessing game is retained, then the final score will be the leader's 50 points transferred from their previous score.
However, it wasn't retained; that is, the points for capturing strongholds were placed at the end.
"First place, Class 1-A, Grade 1, 1104 points."
Chapter 238 In the end, Asakusa- kun has never publicly dated anyone, right?
"One thousand?!"
"Ha?!"
"Isn't it true that the school didn't make a mistake???"
"I know it will be a lot, but is this much really okay?"
"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, a thousand???"
The students from other classes, who had initially been quite casual and thought it was nothing, all changed their expressions after hearing the final number that Mashima Tomoya announced.
Yes, that's right. They did think that Class A, as the final winner of the Uninhabited Island Exam, would achieve great results and gain a considerable number of Class Points.
But that was just a guess based on the initial 300 points!
Even if we capture a lot of strongholds and spend very little money, the remaining amount won't exceed four figures, right?!
Keep in mind that Class A already had nearly a thousand points, and with this additional thousand, they'd be heading straight for two thousand.
How are they supposed to fight now???
A difference of a few hundred points already seems significant; if the gap widens to two thousand points...
"So that means they'll have 200,000 every month from now on?!"
While Class Points might not convey the beauty of numbers, converting them into Private Points and distributing them equally among everyone is quite terrifying.
"With forty students in the class, that's eight million a month... enough to get one person into the Class A in just two and a half months..."
If we use 'Class A seats' as the benchmark, this achievement becomes even more tangible.
Several students in Class D suddenly felt that the Private Points they earned by selling supplies weren't so appealing anymore.
They had initially thought that although they had been eliminated with a score of 0, they had still earned more than the other two classes and had made some money.
But when they saw the results for Class A, they immediately became envious.
"If we capture the stronghold first, will we also get that many points?"
"If only I had made a more decisive judgment back then--"
"..." Horikita Suzune remained expressionless as she listened to her classmates' words.
The more she listened, the more she felt it was all nonsense filled with delusion, to the point that she wanted to leave.
Unless the Pseudo-human is truly a Pseudo-human and genuinely intends to make a move, no one can beat Class A in this battle.
... I still have some Private Points saved up, and there are two other classes that failed along with me.
Thinking about it this way, I don't feel so sad anymore.
Class D' s reaction was laughable, while Class B's reaction was particularly bizarre.
"...1104." With a bitter expression, Katsuragi Kohei muttered the number.
The difference became tangible in an instant.
This is definitely a gain that exceeded the school's expectations. If he were the school administrator, he would definitely try to curb this tendency of points inflation.
Whether considering the school's expenses or to prevent first-grade students from having their fates decided by a single exam, the school should not provide results of this magnitude.
... They already decided to end the exam early, but didn't they use that as an excuse to withhold the points awarded?
To be fair, Katsuragi felt that if he were the school, he would definitely deduct those points.
But that didn't happen; the school actually settled the accounts based on the exact figures for the seven days.
Of course, although the exam is said to last for seven days, the actual check-in time is only six days. Each stronghold is checked eighteen times. Based on Class A's achievement of occupying more than forty strongholds, plus the points saved from the initial three hundred points, a rough calculation would be close to the number 1104.
There may be some errors, but it should be roughly correct.
But that's still too much.
... Is it related to the meeting that Sakayanagi Arisu yesterday?
Why would Class A benefit from this?
Katsuragi Kohei was puzzled.
What's even more puzzling is what Mashima Tomoya, added.
"To add, because of other violations during the exam, both Class B and Class C will have 100 Class Points deducted, and the school will not raise any objections to this."
After saying this, ignoring the other students' attempts to persuade him to stay, and maintaining his attitude of not accepting their pleas, Mashima Tomoya left without looking back.
Only Katsuragi and his group of Class B students were left somewhat dumbfounded.
"Ah?"
"Wasn't the qualification already revoked? Why are points still being deducted!"
"That Kito deserves to die!"
"...Oh, Sakayanagi seems to have forgotten to mention that the school notified her yesterday." Kamuro Masumi, who had approached at some point, said in a low voice to Katsuragi Kohei, "The reason wasn't that, it was another 'serious violation'."
"However, if everyone puts this responsibility on Kito, it shouldn't be such a big deal."
It's his own fault for losing his mind and smashing it that one more time.
Telling these things to Katsuragi was clearly not an instruction from Sakayanagi Arisu.
Sakayanagi told her that she wasn't in the mood to hear the results and sent her over. Logically speaking, Kamuro Masumi should have only done the bare minimum and finished the task.
The reason for this extra step was partly because they were both from the Sakayanagi Faction, and they felt that if Kito were to shoulder too much responsibility, he would eventually give up.
Of course, it wouldn't be appropriate to shout an explanation to everyone, since her master was indeed Sakayanagi.
After much thought, I decided to pass the problem on to Katsuragi.
"...I understand." Katsuragi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded knowingly.
Other 'major violations'?
Class B and Class D each had their own reactions, while Class C, which was also suddenly announced to have 100 Class Points deducted, was not surprised at all.
Ryuen had already mentioned this matter yesterday, so they won't make a fuss about it unnecessarily.
For the time being, no one is planning a grand rebellion against Ryuen.
Besides, even though it's only 18 points, being better than Class B is still a victory.
However, most of the students didn't have much of an opinion, but Ms. Shiina Hiyori had a lot of objections.
Of course, this isn't about grades or exam results.
It refers to a guy named Asakusa Toru.
"Hahaha--"
"This time, it's all thanks to Asakusa!"
"A resounding victory!"
"Of course, Ichinose is also amazing! Ichinose guessed the exam situation, right? It's because of Asakusa -Ichinose Asakusa-san can attack with peace of mind from the outside!"
"I think Kanzaki worked the hardest; he grilled fish all night the other night!"
"Grilled Fish Immortal!"
The classmates were very excited about the achievements the class had made, and they discussed with great enthusiasm the rare experience that they felt was a little hard work at the time, but were extremely satisfied with the results they had achieved.
If they really had to endure seven days, they might be too exhausted to even feel excited, but achieving such results after only two days of hard work would make anyone very happy.
"Yes, yes, it's all thanks to Asakusa- kun." Ichinose Honami said with a smile beside Asakusa Toru.
Asakusa Toru nodded in deep agreement. "Yes, that's why you should all thank me from the bottom of your hearts."
Thank you for your kindness in taking the time to play along without any pretense.
"Everyone should thank Tetsuya~" Hoshinomiya Chie raised her hand with an incredibly sincere smile.
"Thank you, Tetsu...-kun." After glancing around, perhaps feeling she had seized an opportunity, Shiranami Chihiro subtly changed her form of address.
She didn't want to have to call people by their surnames in public anymore.
"Teru, not bad." Shibata Hayate exchanged a glance with Kanzaki Ryuji and gave him a thumbs up.
Kanzaki Ryuji added, "Toru, he's alright."
"Not bad" and "not bad" are the two highest levels of praise for guys.
Only...
Asakusa Toru, his face full of disgust:
"Get lost! Girls can call me by my name all they want, but you two guys better use honorifics with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the class burst into laughter.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh--"
"Ha ha ha ha--"
The atmosphere in Class A was quite harmonious, so harmonious that even though Shiina Hiyori, who was being watched by everyone, felt a little hesitant to speak up about finding Asakusa Toru, she was somewhat caught off guard.
Therefore, she felt even more aggrieved.
Doesn't he look very energetic?
