The Possible Threat of Expulsion / A New Special Exam: Teams Across Different Grades

Comprehensive Ability A+ (95)

"Classmate Hashiba has the best grades in the whole school, and he's the only one in all three grades to get an A+ Comprehensive Ability."

Chie Hoshinomiya looked at Hashiba Hikaru Hikari's face with a smile.

Her voice was soft, yet it instantly stirred up a storm in the classroom.

Chapter 706 The Possible Crisis of Dropping Out of School.

"Classmate Hashiba's stats are terrifying!"

"Yeah, my overall grade is only a C, how come he got an A+?"

"As expected of Classmate Hashiba, she's truly amazing!"

Some students have already seen their information on their phones. The students in Class 2-A scored fairly well in terms of Comprehensive Ability. Apart from a few people who got an A, most of them were in the range of B and D, and there were no E scores.

"Hikari, you're amazing!"

Ichinose Honami looked at her boyfriend, her eyes sparkling with pride for him.

What is Honami's Comprehensive Ability?

Hashiba Hikaru smiled slightly, but her face did not show any smugness, after all, she had expected this score.

"I only got a B+..."

The girl seemed somewhat unwilling, her head drooping as she handed over her phone to the boy, showing him her personal information.

Student information.

Ichinose Honami, Class 2-A

First year results.

Academic Ability A (89)

Physical Ability C (59)

Flexible Thinking B+ (71)

Social Contribution A+ (96)

Comprehensive Ability B+ (79)

"A B+ is pretty good too; it seems like it's just a little bit away from becoming an A."

Hashiba Hikaru gently comforted her, "This data isn't fixed; it will change in the future."

"Really?"

The girl stared into his eyes, seemingly quite concerned about the rating of the data.

"Yes."

Hashiba Hikaru turned to the teacher on the podium and explained, "The teacher should be able to explain it."

"Oh."

While everyone was still marveling at Hashiba Hikaru's grades, Chie Hoshinomiya, standing on the podium, continued.

"This is a personal profile compiled by the school based on your grades up to the end of first grade. You can see not only the students in your own class, but also the information of students in other classes, and even people in different grades."

The female teacher moved the screen on the Electronic Blackboard back a step, returning to the initial three main groups of pages.

"Students whose grades on their personal profiles aren't very good shouldn't be discouraged, because starting from the Second Year, the scores will be updated every month, just like Class Evaluation Points. If everyone performs better later on, their Comprehensive Ability scores will also be updated in real time."

"So that's how it is. This program was designed to encourage everyone to improve, right?"

Someone asked.

I don't think so.

"Why?"

Shibata turned to ask Kanzaki Ryuji, who had offered a different opinion, about it. Kanzaki seemed to be pondering something, his expression somewhat serious.

"It displays the personal information of everyone in the school, and the calculation method for each piece of data is explained, right?"

"Then what?"

His words drew everyone's attention, and they all looked over.

"Because the ratings on the profile are very clear, and there are detailed scoring rules, isn't that equivalent to knowing what kind of person the other person is in advance?"

"Well..."

"Kanzaki, isn't it a bit strange to think like that?"

"That's not surprising, and I think Classmate Hashiba has definitely realized it already."

Kanzaki Ryuji turned his gaze over, staring at the boy sitting in his seat, and asked, "Classmate Hashiba, what do you think the purpose of this system will be?"

"Hehe, Kanzaki is indeed very perceptive."

Under the watchful eyes of her classmates, Hashiba Hikaru's tone became slightly more serious, "Although this personal data is updated monthly, don't forget that the school will be holding Special Exam from time to time."

"Individual matches are fine, but what if we need to team up with students from other classes or even other grades? What would you all think then?"

The boy's gaze slowly swept across everyone's faces, and he said, word by word, "What consequences will it have if everyone can see the information of all the students?"

"I see! This will make it harder for students with lower Comprehensive Ability to form teams, right?"

"Yeah, if you're going to team up, everyone will subconsciously want to be with someone stronger, right?"

"This is too much..."

The students in Class A all understood Hashiba Hikaru's unspoken meaning: the Special Exam was the most important exam, and in order to pursue victory, everyone probably hoped that their teammates were very capable and didn't want anyone who would hold them back to join the team.

In first grade, everyone could only form teams based on their usual impressions. But with this detailed information, everyone's academic ability, physical strength, Personal Social Tendency, and Conduct Policy can all be taken into account. Nothing can be hidden anymore.

"Classmate Hashiba's analysis is indeed reasonable, but the teacher doesn't have a good solution to this problem either."

After listening to the boy's explanation, Chie Hoshinomiya still had a smile on her face.

"Since the reference rules for each index are written out, everyone can try to change their approach; it might increase their Comprehensive Ability."

"Yes, this line of thinking is very important."

Hashiba Hikaru emphasized, "No matter what Special Exam may occur in the future, now that everyone knows the standards of this system, we should try our best to make up for any shortcomings."

"For example, data on Social Contribution can be referenced based on factors such as attitude in class, presence of problematic behavior, and performance in clubs. Everyone can supplement this information based on their own data, which is very important."

"Hikari, what are you worried about?"

Ichinose Honami stared blankly at her boyfriend's profile. She knew him very well and knew that after her explanation, the boy probably still had some cruel things to say.

"Yes, is there something else you've thought of, Classmate Hashiba?"

"Please tell us your analysis, Classmate Hashiba."

Everyone in Class A trusted Hashiba Hikaru completely; his opinions were crucial in their decisions, and even Chie Hoshinomiya, standing on the podium, cast curious glances at him.

"Okay, actually, after reading this information, I have a guess..."

Hashiba Hikaru had come across this data on how students' personal qualities were graded quite early on. At the time, he was just curious about why grading was necessary, without thinking too deeply about it.

Now that Miyabi Nagumo has been expelled from the Student Council, many problems have suddenly become clear.

This plan was proposed by that blond guy, and judging from his attitude, one of the possibilities might be quite plausible.

"If this data collection plan starts from the Second Year high school, then there should be many changes within three semesters. The school never does anything meaningless."

"If, at the end of a semester or the entire academic year, someone's Comprehensive Ability do not meet the required standards..."

Hashiba Hikaru paused for a moment, then added, "Perhaps he will face some kind of [Special Punishment]."

Upon hearing this, the students in Class 2-A were immediately shocked.

If that's the case, then Second Year school life will definitely be more tiring than first-grade, because data will be collected every day.

"This is really..."

Shibata's face turned ashen. He instantly understood Hashiba Hikaru's implication and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

"If that's the case, the punishment wouldn't be..."

There is one absolutely taboo topic among the students in Class 2-A.

Drop out of school.

"No matter what..."

Hashiba Hikaru glanced at his girlfriend; the girl's expression was very serious.

Let's cheer each other on!

Chapter 707 A New Special Exam: Teams Across Grades.

While the students of Class 2-A were still immersed in the dangerous hypothesis put forward by Hashiba Hikaru, Chie Hoshinomiya announced something else with a smile.

"Alright, everyone, please listen to me first."

The female teacher clapped her hands on the podium, drawing everyone's attention back to the classroom.

"Now that the OAA System has been implemented, the corresponding thing is..."

Chie Hoshinomiya deliberately dragged out the last syllable, drawing even more attention from everyone.

"Your first Special Exam since moving up to the Second Year begins today!"

"Is that really how it is?"

"I already guessed it. Honestly, can't they give us a couple of days' rest?"

The students in the class expressed their dissatisfaction. After all, it was only the first day of school, and they hadn't fully adapted to their new roles as seniors yet, but now they had to return to the pressure of preparing for Special Exam.

"This exam is rather special; the rules are a new experiment adopted by the school, similar to the OAA System we just discussed."

The young female teacher's gaze swept over everyone in the classroom.

The students in Class A have Lead an entire school year. Will they be able to maintain this advantage as they move into the Second Year?

She was still very confident.

What is it?

Shibata looked at Chie Hoshinomiya's small face.

"For this Special Exam, you Second Year students will need to pair up with first-year students."

These words immediately caused an uproar in the class.

"Ah?"

"What do you mean? Are we going to team up with the first-year students?"

"We just talked about the OAA System, and we're already using it? The school really is very thoughtful..."

Hashiba Hikaru rubbed his temples. He knew that after announcing the new system, it wouldn't just be about ranking students.

If you're teaming up with newly enrolled students, this profile will be very helpful.

"This Special Exam mainly assesses Written Exam and communication skills."

Ignoring everyone's surprise and astonishment, Chie Hoshinomiya slowly explained.

"By now, everyone should understand the importance of Written Exam. As students, taking and answering exam questions is an absolutely essential task."

"On the other hand, students only interact with students from different grades during Sports Festival and training camps. In other situations, their communication efficiency and experience are very limited, which is why the school formulated this rule."

"I hope you can communicate with people of different ages to improve your communication skills in this area."

The female teacher held up one finger, as if to emphasize the most important point.

"Furthermore, in the future learning journey, there may be situations where you have to compete with third-grade or first-grade students. You can take this opportunity to expand your social circle and better cope with the exams that may come in the future."

"Well, did everyone understand?"

After she finished explaining, the students in Class A understood the school's deeper considerations. Using this method to increase pressure would likely make future Special Exam much more difficult.
