She Must Have a Lot to Talk About with Honami Ichinose

"Damn it, I really want to be promoted to Class A too! Can't Ichinose just take a liking to me and pay to transfer me there?!"

"I heard that Ibuki from Class C transferred last semester."

"They're all women, huh? That's great. It's good to be rich. Spending 20 million can get you another member of your harem. Asakusa must be playing with women every day, right?"

"If I had twenty million... humph, I would never spend it on a woman. That's twenty million! That guy is definitely driven by lust, humph, a guy controlled by desire."

"How dare you say that? Aren't you the one most controlled by your desires?"

A noisy, chaotic sound filled the car, and the more Horikita Suzune listened to this noise, the more frustrated she became.

That's incredibly low in manners.

Although Sakura Airi's transfer to another class was indeed unexpected, Kushida was the only person in the class who was close to Sakura Airi.

I never expected that she would have such good connections in Class A.

But to accuse someone of using their body for a transaction is going too far.

The more she interacted with these people, the more deeply Horikita Suzune understood what it meant to be a defective product that should be swept into the trash heap.

Can.

Even if it's a defective product, even if it's a scrap product.

There should also be a distinction between recyclable and non-recyclable materials.

... I want to expel Yamauchi Haruki.

I want to draw a clear line between myself and them.

Therefore, the information provided by the Diary is of paramount importance.

At least, at least I think, in situations like the Uninhabited Island Exam, when the other three classes fully understood and comprehended the exam rules.

They don't have to be categorized as the same kind of people as them and ridiculed together.

Horikita Suzune's standards have been getting lower and lower.

"Alright, alright, quiet down." Utterly bored, and with a rather irritable tone, Chabashira Sae stood up as if performing an official duty. "Next, we will hold a new Special Exam."

"Listen quietly as I explain the rules."

"This Special Exam is..."

"'Mixed Training Camp'."

"Next, we will take you to a Forest School in the mountains, where you will have a training camp."

In this country's well-known tradition, high schools usually have a few special events.

Sports Festival, school festivals, school trips, Forest School...

Celebrating youth, singing its praises, and leaving behind memories.

But Advanced Nurturing isn't such a naive concept.

Forest School, which are usually held in the summer, will begin in the winter or spring.

An eight-day, seven-night cross-grade group activity was held under the guise of Mixed Training Camp.

"The details are in the materials. I'll distribute them now, and everyone can read them on their own."

She was too lazy to explain any further, so she simply passed the four separate stacks of documents to the students at the front of the class and told them to pass them on to the students behind them.

So, the moment she received the materials, Horikita Suzune began to peruse them.

The document is quite thick, totaling twenty pages.

However, most of the information consisted of photos; there weren't many written inquiries.

The rooms where students will stay, or the large public bathhouse and Student Cafeteria.

Special Exam vocabulary will appear in various important places.

Separate genders and allow students to form their own groups.

There are a minimum and maximum number of people in a group, calculated by separating the grade level and the number of boys and girls.

If there are more than 60 male students in the same grade, then there are 8 to 13 students. If there are more than 70 students, then there are 9 to 14 students. If there are more than 80 students, then there are 10 to 15 students. These are the lower and upper limits for the number of students in a group. However, if there are fewer than 60 students, then other methods need to be considered.

The condition is that there must be students from at least two classes in the group.

Even when divided into groups, cooperation with the 'enemy' is still necessary.

That being said, they really don't have any enemies to speak of anymore.

Almost the instant she saw this rule, Horikita Suzune felt somewhat discouraged.

Without a doubt, this exam will once again be Special Exam where Class A controls everything and takes all the points.

"Honestly, doesn't the school know how to target Class A even slightly?"

This wasn't said by Horikita Suzune.

It was Yamauchi Haruki who made that noise.

"With just a contract, they can easily control us and help us win the exams. Our Class Points keep increasing with every Special Exam, and we can earn over 200,000 a month! Over 200,000!"

"And we can only survive on the meager 20,000 yuan welfare they provide!"

"They clearly said they would adjust the score based on the performance in the Special Exam, but the Sports Festival isn't even considered Special Exam. And that other exam only gave us a 1,000 yen raise. What? They added 100 Class Points but only gave us this little bit and that's it."

He was just muttering, but his muttering was unusually loud.

"So what?" Horikita Suzune spoke expressionlessly, "You want to break the contract and have everyone drop out of school?"

"... Ugh." Startled by her voice and imposing manner, Yamauchi immediately shrank back.

"Say it, what's wrong with saying it? Can't I?"

"... Say whatever you want."

Seeing Yamauchi Haruki Yamauchi's behavior, Horikita Suzune felt a deep sense of disgust.

Chapter 282 She should have a lot to talk about with Ichinose Honami

Mixed Training Camp.

It is also known as the Forest School.

The first Special Exam of the third semester.

The exam was long and boring, and the content was redundant and uninteresting.

For Asakusa Toru, he was someone who would rank among the top even in the Advanced Nurturing and demanding exams.

Perhaps it was because it incorporated three grades, or perhaps the first-year students weren't particularly active in this exam, which seemed to merely showcase Nagumo's abilities.

Or perhaps it's simply because the exam was conducted at a rather delicate time.

In short, in Asakusa Toru's memory, this exam was very boring.

So he didn't write anything in his diary beforehand to spoil the exam.

His laziness is one thing, but the exam was also really meaningless.

The rules of the exam are very simple.

Group, group, group.

Grouping by gender, then by grade level, and finally combining them into one large group.

Grouping affects two things: the score multiplier and the penalty.

In terms of scoring, the basic scoring is as follows.

The final six groups were used as the standard.

The first place winner Private Points 10,000 points. The Class Points.

The second place winner has 5,000 Private Points and 1 point Class Points.

The third place winner Private Points 3,000 points.

The above are the scores; the following are the deductions.

Fourth place: 0 Private Points 5,000 points.

The fifth-place Private Points 10,000 points and the Class Points.

The sixth-place finisher has 20,000 Private Points and 5 points Class Points.

Yes, based on the results of each group, the score for the corresponding ranking will be equally distributed among all members of the group.

In other words, the more people who come in first, the better; and the fewer people who come in last, the better.

However, if we consider that the final score is calculated based on the 'average score' of all group members, then perhaps the priority should not be the number of people, but rather the quality.

The basic scoring is as described above, but the key to this Special Exam lies more in the following rule.

If the group consists of students from two different classes, the rewards for the first to third place will remain as previously seen. However, if it consists of three classes, both rewards will double. If it consists of four classes, the rewards will triple. Even the multiplier based on the total number of students seems to change: ten students will receive a 1x multiplier, and fifteen students will receive the maximum of 1.5x. Although this is an exception, if the group consists of nine students, the multiplier will be 0.9x.

The highest reward for the first place is three times that of a group consisting of four classes, multiplied by 1.5 times the reward for a group with the largest number of people (15). This means that each person can get as many as 45,000 Private Points and 14 Class Points (rounded to the nearest whole number).

To be honest, it's a bit troublesome.

The most troublesome part wasn't the grouping or the calculations, but rather this Special Exam.

There will be 'dropouts'.

Perhaps it's to put pressure on students, or perhaps it's simply for selection.

In any case, the 'leader' of the lowest-ranked group, whose score is below average, will be expelled.

The standard is limited to groups whose average score is lower than the school's prepared average score threshold.

Although being a student in the same class as the person in charge would double the pay, the risk of being expelled significantly increases the risk.

Incidentally, starting with this exam, all Class Points deficit, i. e., negative Class Points, will be accumulated.

Even if the apparent score remains at zero, points will continue to be deducted.

In addition, during this exam, students who drop out will have 100 Class Points deducted.

To have the expulsion penalty lifted, an additional 20 million will be required, along with 300 Class Points.

In other words, the number of students dropping out must be limited to Class D, regardless of the circumstances.

Only in this way can the optimal result be achieved.

Of course, choosing to pass the problem on to older students and let them figure out a solution is also an option.

However, in that case, the situation might not be entirely under one's control.

The more I listen, the more troublesome it becomes.

Furthermore, although it's said that control is not the issue, considering that the average score is calculated based on the entire group, their scores will inevitably be affected by the higher grades.

Second and third graders will be the 'majority,' while first graders will be the 'minority.'

Even someone who controls the entire grade could stumble at this point.

It is difficult to completely control the final ranking results.

The only thing that can be confirmed is Horikita Manabu.

If they form a large group with the other team, given that Nagumo has voluntarily dropped out of school, they should be able to easily secure first place.

All that needs to be considered is the remaining ranking.

There's another troublesome thing.

Because men and women are separated, and communication devices are required to be confiscated when getting off the vehicle.

Therefore, he had no way of keeping track of the girls' group's situation in real time.

They could only interact during dinner time, which was limited to one hour per day.

Yes, of course, you can use Diary to communicate.

However, Diary is limited to once a day, and there are often not enough times to manage it.

Developing a strategy in advance and then relying on Diary to convey key signals is essentially no different from conveying information at dinner.

If only there were an easier way.
