Illegally Manipulating a Special Exam
Thus, the resentment and cowardice that had been building up in his chest clashed at this moment.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh-"
Yamauchi Haruki let out the only roar he had ever heard in his life.
"Tch, look at his ugly face."
"Yamauchi..."
"This guy should have dropped out of school a long time ago."
"Hey, stop talking. What if we're implicated and blamed?"
"And we're not in the same group."
"But I am!"
The surrounding noises kept getting into his ears.
"Yamauchi Haruki, please be quiet." The middle-aged teacher, expressionless, began to stop him from making further noise. "The school's decision will not change, and the school will not release the cut-off scores because of your questioning."
Even if you shout here, you'll only expose your ugly side to more people.
"--Shut up!"
It was as if they wanted to prove that they weren't actually afraid, as if they wanted to prove their courage.
After his gaze met Asakusa Toru's calm, expressionless eyes and then abruptly looked away, his eyes swept over the surrounding classmates, taking in their mocking, sneer, laughter, indifference, nonchalance, expected, and unexpected looks—a mixture of emotions.
Yamauchi Haruki reflexively yelled at the teacher in front of him.
"Silence." Ignoring Yamauchi's attitude and looking at him as if he were dead, the middle-aged teacher continued, "But Yamauchi must take responsibility for his group; his withdrawal from school has been decided."
"Furthermore, since we can also assign joint liability within the group, please come to me later to decide on the recipients of this joint liability."
"Now we will announce the fifth-place group."
The teachers continued to release the remaining lists, ignoring the differences between second and third graders and focusing solely on the first graders' perspective. This is the result of this Mixed Training Camp.
On the girls' side, the group led by Ichinose Honami, consisting of 12A, 1B, 1C, and 1D members, ranked first out of 15.
Leader: Shiranami Chihiro: 8A, 5B, 1C, 1D; Group of 15: Second Place
Team leader: Morishita Ran; 12B, 1A, 1C, 1D; Group of 15: Third place.
Group leader: Karuizawa Kei; 12D, 1A, 1B, 1C; 15-person group; fourth place.
Leader: Nagito Rika, 10C, Group of 10, 5th place.
Team leader Kushida Kikyo, 4D, 1B, 5C, 10-person group, sixth place.
For the boys, the group led by Asakusa Toru, consisting of 12A, 1B, 1C, and 1D students, ranked first out of 15.
Group leader: Katsuragi Kohei; 7B, 6A, 1C, 1D; 15-person group; second place.
Group leader Ryuen Kakeru, 12C, 1A, 1B, 1D, 15-person group, third place.
Team leader Totsuka Yahiko; Scores: 5B, 3C, 2D; Group of 10: 4th place.
Team leader: Kito Hayato, 5B, 2C, 3D, 10-person team, fifth place.
Group leader Yamauchi Haruki, 12D, 1A, 1B, 1C, 15-person group, sixth place.
This is used to calculate the final score.
The top three teams will receive bonus points and will enjoy 4.5 times the points of a 15-person group or a group of 4 classes, and the score of the class corresponding to the person in charge will be doubled.
The resulting benefit is...
Class A:
The first place winner (male or female) has 10,000 Private Points and 3 Class Points. 24 students, with a score multiplied by 9, have 2.16 million Private Points and 648 Class Points.
The second place winner (male or female) will receive 5,000 Private Points, 1 Class Points, 6 students will receive 4.5 times the score, 8 students will receive 9 times the score, 495,000 Private Points, and 102 Class Points (Class Points are rounded to the nearest whole number for each student).
The third place winner (male and female) had 3,000 Private Points, while two other students had 4.5 times the score and 27,000 Private Points.
The fourth place winner (male or female) will have 5,000 Private Points deducted, along with one classmate. Penalties do not stack with team multipliers.
The fifth place for both male and female students resulted in a deduction of 10,000 Private Points and 3 Class Points. There were no students from Class A.
The sixth place in both the male and female categories resulted in a deduction of 20,000 Private Points, 5 Class Points, and 1 classmate.
Therefore, Class A's total gain in the Mixed Training Camp was 742 Class Points and 2.657 million Private Points.
Class B:
First place, 2 students, 4.5 times the score, 90,000 Private Points, 28 Class Points.
Second place, 12 students, 5 students scored 4.5 times the score, 7 students scored 9 times the score, 427,500 Private Points, 88 Class Points.
The third place winner was one of 13 students, with 12 scoring 9 times the average and 1 scoring 4.5 times the average, totaling 337,500 Private Points.
Fourth place, 6 students, 30,000 Private Points deducted.
Fifth place, 5 students, deduct 50,000 Private Points and 15 Class Points.
Sixth place, 2 students, deducted 40,000 Private Points and 10 Class Points.
Therefore, Class B's total gains in the Mixed Training Camp were 91 Class Points and 735,000 Private Points.
Class C:
First place, 2 students, 4.5 times the score, 90,000 Private Points, 28 Class Points.
Second place, 2 students, 4.5 times the score, 45,000 Private Points, 10 Class Points.
The third place winner was one of 13 students, with 12 scoring 9 times the average and 1 scoring 4.5 times the average, totaling 337,500 Private Points.
Fourth place, 4 students, 20,000 Private Points deducted.
Fifth place, 12 students, deducted 120,000 Private Points and 36 Class Points.
The sixth place, consisting of 6 students, resulted in a deduction of 120,000 Private Points and 30 Class Points.
Therefore, Class C's total gain in the Mixed Training Camp was -28 Class Points and 212,500 Private Points.
Class D:
First place, 2 students, 4.5 times the score, 90,000 Private Points, 28 Class Points.
Second place, 2 students, 4.5 times the score, 45,000 Private Points, 10 Class Points.
Third place, 2 students, 4.5 times the score, 27,000 Private Points.
Fourth place, 14 students, 70,000 Private Points deducted.
Fifth place, 3 students, deducted 30,000 Private Points and 9 Class Points.
Sixth place, 16 students, deducted 320,000 Private Points and 80 Class Points.
Therefore, Class D's total gains in the Mixed Training Camp are -51 Class Points and -258,000 Private Points.
Although many people had anticipated this result, they still couldn't help but sigh with surprise after it was officially announced.
No one cares about Yamauchi Haruki's hysteria anymore; anyone with a bit of a knack for numbers can glean some insight from it.
This result, this score...
Who can still call this Special Exam for Mixed Training Camp Forest School?
No, didn't the school learn enough lessons after the Uninhabited Island Special Exam? Even if they didn't know how to control the numerical limits, shouldn't they at least have slightly suppressed Class A in the evaluation?
What? Is Asakusa Toru your father or something? You really have no way to deal with him playing these tricks?
From first to third grade, all the students who had even a slight understanding of the previous Uninhabited Island incident had the same thought.
So you're not even going to act anymore, huh?
In contrast to the overflowing urge to complain among his classmates, Yamauchi Haruki was simmering with anger.
He shouldn't have wanted people staring at him, but being stared at and talked about because of making a fool of himself is bound to make him feel bad.
But when everyone completely ignored him...
After the middle-aged teacher nonchalantly announced the remaining rankings, no one paid any more attention to him at that moment.
Yamauchi Haruki, however, felt a strong sense of humiliation.
Nobody cared about his feelings.
Nobody cared whether he dropped out of school or not.
Even...
No one cared about the collateral liability he held in his hand—the responsibility for dragging others down with him.
"Expel them! Expel them! Expel them all! I'll make all these lazy bums expel!!!" Yamauchi Haruki, "I'll use my power to expel them all!!!"
"Well then, Yamauchi, tell us who you want to drop out of school. The school will determine if that person is the reason why their group average score is below the passing mark."
As Yamauchi Haruki threw a tantrum and the middle-aged teacher spoke, the surrounding students gradually stopped being shocked by the result and turned their attention to Yamauchi.
Of course, you're not going to watch it if there's a clown in it?
Chapter 286 Irregular Manipulation of the Special Exam
Even if older students don't know much about Yamauchi Haruki and don't understand how glorious his historical achievements are.
But the mere fact that someone would publicly display such an unseemly behavior was enough to draw their attention.
Not to mention the second and third-year students who, with the help of the Mixed Training Camp, had managed to get closer to their junior classmates, tugging at each other's sleeves and whispering about Yamauchi's glorious history.
The sensory experience is quite different again.
Enjoying the gossip, watching the drama unfold, and being detached from it all—that's even more enjoyable.
Whether it's second or third grade, the drama of dropping out of other classes is truly endlessly entertaining.
Everyone who is expelled from school has something unique about them, and their talents shine brightly at this moment.
KiraKira.
Everyone was waiting for Yamauchi to announce that name, the one he hated and despised the most, the one he most wanted to drag down, even though he hadn't done anything wrong.
Who could it be?
Hashimoto Masayoshi? Tokito Yuya? Shibata Hayate?
The answer was clear from the beginning.
"Hirata, let Hirata drop out of school with me."
His expression softened slightly, and he wasn't too agitated anymore, but Yamauchi Haruki revealed a sinister gaze as sharp as a venomous snake.
As Hashimoto Masayoshi had predicted, he unsurprisingly chose the option that had been the most fatal for Class D from the very beginning.
At this point, the students in Class D, who had initially felt somewhat indifferent, suddenly changed their expressions.
"--How could this happen!"
"That Yamauchi guy is too vicious."
"It's not enough that he dropped out of school himself, he actually wants to Hirata down with him..."
"Even though Hirata joined his group to help him."
"... Then why were you in last place?"
Amidst the cacophony, someone uttered that sound.
That last, soft remark immediately silenced many in Class D.
Yeah, so why did they come in last place?
With Hirata, and the group consisting of only three students from other classes, it's understandable that the larger group fell to last place, but surely the group itself shouldn't fall below the school's average score requirement?
But the fact is that Yamauchi has fallen to the bottom. Yamauchi is now being asked to drop out of school, and he can also be held responsible for sending someone away.
Why?
Was it that Hirata didn't work hard enough, or were the other students in his Class D group dragging him down?
