Exam Analysis: The Ultimate Tool! Sae Chabashira! (Continued)
Kushida said.
"That's indeed a good plan."
Kushida has quite a few fans, and her suggestion makes a lot of sense.
Just like Karuizawa said, what if you were chosen as VIP, and then, upon learning this, you leaked the information?
Not only will it harm the class, but it could also wipe out my own 250,000 points as VIP!
No way!
Or rather...
There are only 12 students VIP. If we follow Horikita's initial statement that only 3 students can be evenly distributed into Class D, but Class D has 40 students, then it's a 3/40 chance. Most students still have no chance of being selected.
Therefore, being selected as VIP means receiving good treatment, but if you are not selected and see your classmates receiving such good treatment, you may find it unacceptable.
"So, do we still need to transfer 5000 points to each person?"
At that moment, Horikita asked.
"No need." ×N
This time, however, the students in Class D responded in unison.
Because.
Being selected as VIP and receiving points as a reward from the class's fundraising efforts would be a wonderful thing.
But.
If I know I'm VIP, and I still have to interact with students from other classes so many times, is it really safe?
But if you don't know you're VIP, then it doesn't matter how many times you interact with students from other classes or what kind of scripts you use.
Because I don't know.
That means they can definitely hide the identity of the VIP until the very end.
So, if we follow Horikita's suggestion, we might be able to force the other classes that failed in their attempts to have no choice but to go for result one, where everyone can get points and be selected as VIP to receive extra money!
Do I even need to explain how to choose?
At worst, they won't have to pay the 5000 points suggested by Horikita.
"Then please unlock your phones first, and then hand them over to Chabashira-sensei."
At this moment, Horikita said...
"There's not much time left, and here are some sticky notes. Put your names on your phone cases so you can retrieve them later."
"Clear."
The students started removing their phone lock screens before Horikita could even finish speaking.
Since it was already 7:57, they were worried that a notification would pop up saying they had been selected VIP, and then they would know that they were VIP.
Then it will be tested by other classes.
So the students quickly and efficiently took action.
"..."
Now there's only one person who hasn't done anything.
This person is [Chabashira-sensei], who has been mentioned several times before.
It could be said that she originally came just to be a background character, but now she has become involved in the other side's scheme. And she is also very clear that although Nakano Yuu and Horikita seem to be doing it for the class, in reality, they don't care at all how many points the class gets or how many points they lose.
Therefore, all these arrangements have only one purpose.
Students in Class D were deprived of the opportunity to answer questions arbitrarily.
Now, Chabashira-sensei is looking at Nakano Yuu, seemingly giving him a signal with his eyes.
[This is a separate price]
However, just like what Nakano just did, Nakano Yuu isn't paying attention to Chabashira-sensei right now; he's looking at Horikita- kun.
Nakano Yuu gazed at Horikita, his face showing a hint of relief.
It's like watching your own daughter finally grow up.
A qualified leader must learn to persuade his subordinates.
Just like Horikita's current performance.
He only said the good things, making the students in Class D feel like they had gotten a great deal, and then they readily agreed to Horikita's request.
However, in reality, truly Akito understand this.
The only possible outcomes of this exam are outcome three or four; it's impossible to survive until the exam is over. So outcome one is just wishful thinking.
The class's fundraising effort, which had attracted attention midway through the class, was also disbanded.
In this way, the students' cell phones were confiscated without costing them a penny.
However, the students in Class D obviously wouldn't consider these things, so they only saw the rosy picture Horikita painted, ignoring the deeper factors behind it.
As for Akito, of course there are some, namely, the one who discovered that it wasn't Chabashira-sensei notified them, and the Kouenji Rokusuke hadn't even shown his face yet.
Koenji had already figured out why Nakano Yuu and the others had gathered everyone together at such a timely time.
"If that's the case, then I have no objection."
I have no objection either.
"Agree."
At Kushida's urging, the students of Class D nodded in agreement with Horikita's proposal.
Now, the cell phones with their names on them are being passed around and placed on Chabashira-sensei's desk.
At this moment, Chabashira Sae noticed that the students were required to gather in the cafe, with three or four students per table. However, she was pulled over by Nakano Yuu, so they were sitting at the same table. But Nakano Yuu didn't order any drinks.
The table was clean, with nothing on it, and now I understand why.
They're here to store the students' cell phones.
In other words, they came prepared.
"Now, Chabashira-sensei, please get ready to check everyone's phones to see if any students have been selected as the VIP."
"If there is any information about VIP in the class, you just need to raise your hand."
"That's what Nakano said."
"Or perhaps the gestures tell us exactly how many students were selected as VIP."
"..."
Chabashira.
"..."
Chabashira.
So, he really was brought in to do the work.
But when she looked up, she saw the expectant yet nervous expressions on the faces of her students.
In other words, this represents the will of the entire class.
"..."
Chabashira.
"I see."
So she sat down, put on a stern face, and began to wait.
Everyone was waiting, waiting for the email from the school to arrive at eight o'clock.
Finally.
It's eight o'clock now.
A message popped up on the phone in front of Chabashira.
The students, however, looked as if they were worried about unexpectedly learning some information, and quickly turned their heads away.
Finally.
Chabashira checked the table twice by himself.
Then she looked at the students.
They silently raised their hands, which confirmed that some students had indeed been selected as VIP.
Then, Chabashira tucked in his left thumb and forefinger.
That is to say, it is the number 3.
Just as Horikita had predicted, three students in the class were selected as the VIP.
"Call."
Hirata's mother, who noticed this scene, breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as there are VIP in a class, it can be ensured that the information about VIP in one's own class will not be leaked, and other classes will not be aware of it. This guarantees at least one outcome from three groups.
If all students submit their answers via mobile phone, then there will be no rush to answer, which would result in a large deduction of points.
Thank you everyone for your cooperation.
Hirata wiped the sweat from his brow. "Everyone, it's getting late. You all have to go to your respective group meetings later. How about we have breakfast first?"
"Good idea."
"As expected of Hirata."
Actually, I was starving.
As expected of a student from Class D, Hirata changed the subject.
She instantly looked away from Horikita, as if she had forgotten about her phone.
Twenty minutes later, there were no other students from Class D left in the coffee shop.
The reason we say there are no other students in Class D is because there are still three students remaining.
Nakano Yuu from Class D, Kushida Kikyou, and then Horikita Suzune.
Horikita was the main attacker in making empty promises, while Kushida was the supporting attacker.
Nakano Yuu was responsible for luring Chabashira-sensei over.
It can be said that...
Chabashira knew very well that these three people had colluded and were using this exam to profit themselves.
It's likely that Karuizawa's opposition was within their expectations, and perhaps Karuizawa is even an ally.
"So, is there anything else you want to ask?"
Chabashira said with a cold face.
"Why are you making me do this?"
"It's very simple. We just hope that Chabashira-sensei will cooperate with us and help everyone complete this exam so that the class won't lose too many points."
"Nakano Yuu said."
"So the teacher did this for Class D, and we did it for Class D too."
"..."X4.
The four people present all looked at Nakano-kun speechlessly.
This student said such a thing without batting an eye.
"So, what you really want to ask about is the list of the three VIP in Class D?"
Chabashira spoke incisively.
She doesn't believe that Nakano Yuu's method of confiscating phones was intended to force everyone to leave.
