After watching, I felt that there were people in Class C who were good at these three sports. Soccer and tennis were sports that were mentioned but not selected.
And they even created a project without Commander Authority.
Next was Class C. After several more discussions, Shuichi Kanda and his classmates revised the plan several more times before arriving at the final answer.
1. Project: Basketball
Required number of participants: 5; time limit: 20 minutes (two 10-minute sessions).

Commander Authority: Allows you to invalidate one of the shots and refire.
Looking at the fourth item, although Shuichi Kanda smiled, Shuichi Kanda actually thought of changing the rules to make the class with the highest score win when he saw the Mental Arithmetic item for Class A.
Because the students in Class C are genuinely good at what they are good at, and genuinely bad at what they are not good at.
The exam covers first-grade material, and at least several students in Class C could get full marks within that scope. Yukimura and Wang Meiyu would have no problem, Hirata, Koenji, and a few other girls who weren't familiar with them before would also be fine.
Next up was Class D's project. Upon seeing Class D's project, Shuichi Kanda immediately covered his forehead.
Karate, Judo, Taekwondo, Wrestling, Kickboxing.
MD, all five are projects that strictly involve physical contact, and the rules are all elimination rounds.
The moment the students in Class C saw this project, they were in an uproar.
"No way? Has Class D gone mad?"
"Yeah, this is way too reckless!"
But it's no use. Since the school has already approved Class D' s project, there won't be any changes. Ryuen is determined to maximize the advantages of his class.
"It's no use talking about this now, but luckily we have some good fighters in our class."
As he spoke, Shuichi Kanda looked at Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, Hirata Yosuke, and Rokusuke Koenji.
However, since Ayanokoji is going to participate in Chess, there's no way to send him out to deal with Class D first. I can only hope that I'll have some luck in the draw.
Meanwhile, other classes also saw the projects chosen by the other classes besides theirs.
"Class C... are you serious?"
After seeing Class C's project, Kanzaki Ryuji from Class B couldn't help but exclaim.
"Yeah, making Rock Paper Scissors a formal event? That's ridiculous!"
"Is this completely left to luck? Has it been a sign of giving up?"
"No way, right? The Commander of Class C is none other than Shuichi Kanda!"
However, besides this, Ichinose a headache is that Class A's project clashes with their math test.
It's fair to say that whichever class releases the math test first has the advantage.
For example, if Class A draws the math test, then Classes C and D will definitely refuse, while Class B will definitely be forcibly dragged into the competition by Class A.
Even if Class A beats Class D, Class B can easily beat Class A when they draw the math test.
In this way, it's as if Class A has done all the work for Class B for nothing.
However, if we forcefully designate Class B, it's a different story. This would be a head-on collision. Winning would be great, but even if we lose, it wouldn't matter, because Class B's math talent would be depleted. If Class B gets the math test, Class A can refuse.
When Class B chooses other classes, Classes Class C and Class D will definitely not let this opportunity pass, so Class B is essentially courting disaster.
Of course, Class B could also concede in the first round, sacrificing some pieces, and then forcefully designate Class A in the second round.
However, surrendering at the beginning might affect the morale of Class B, so Ichinose was in a dilemma.
In Class D, Ryuen guessed what Shuichi Kanda was up to after just one glance at the project, and then gave a cold smile.
"That's quite an appetite."
As for Class A, they had long since given up hope. No matter what the event, as long as Kamuro, the Commander, caused trouble, there was no way they could win.
Even so, the students in Class A still planned to prepare well, since losing as few points as possible was always a good thing.
After a long period of preparation, the day of the final Special Exam of the year finally arrived.
The Commander of the losing class will be expelled. However, these Commander all have Protection Point, so the three Commander of the losing class will lose the Protection Point they just earned.
Although no one will drop out, it is foreseeable that the Class Points will change significantly.
The difference in Class Points between classes Class A, Class B, and Class C is only in single digits, so it's easy to imagine that the class order will change significantly this time.
"Although we have decided on the events each person should perform for in advance, the situation can change in an instant. Even if the performance order differs from the pre-arranged one, we hope you can remain calm."
"We are aware of that; making choices based on the changing circumstances is also very important."
Horikita responded on behalf of the class.
"Furthermore, this exam is essentially a class competition. Although there is interference from the Command Tower, it basically requires the comprehensive abilities of Class C. Even if the situation is unfavorable, please don't take it to heart, Kanda."
Hirata stepped forward and spoke gently to Shuichi Kanda.
He said this because he didn't want to put pressure on Shuichi Kanda.
"Don't worry, I will do my best."
After saying that, Shuichi Kanda turned and left for the Special Teaching Building, where the exam was about to begin.
Whether I can get promoted to Class A after this exam, and whether I can get Sae- chan to keep her promise, all depends on this!
In just one year, they went from being absolutely behind with zero points to coming in first place. Even in the history of this school, there probably isn't such a feat.
Even Shuichi Kanda this moment.
Chapter 269 The Special Exam Begins!
Chapter 270 The morning exams are over, Class C is in the lead, and Class B is hanging by a thread!
Faced with the second math test where Class B was targeting Class D, Ryuen easily won the competition without even sending out top-performing students from Class D like Shiina and Kaneda.
"Looks like you know Ichinose. You know you can't give Class C points away right now."
Listening to Ryuen's trash talk, Ichinose gave a wry smile.
Next up is the competition for Class C.
"Next, Class C will draw a project."
After receiving a hint from Mashima- sensei, Shuichi Kanda manipulated the mouse and clicked the draw button. After a series of scrolling, the light circle finally landed on the Kyudo.
Project: Kyudo
Required number of people: two.
Rules: General Kyudo rules shall be adopted.
Commander Authority: Allows you to invalidate one of the shots and refire.
Upon seeing this project, Ryuen smiled, because their Class D was completely incapable of competing against it, but now they didn't have to worry.
Since Class B just designated Class D won't be designated by Class C this time. Therefore, Ryuen can just sit back and watch the show.
However, he didn't intend to just stand by and watch. If he could give Ichinose, why not?
"Thank you so much, Ichinose, for making our Class D safe for now."
Students are free to converse, and verbal sparring is a form of combat; Ryuen clearly understands this principle deeply.
Ichinose, felt that she might have made the wrong choice. If she had chosen Class C, Shuichi might have chosen Class D as her opponent.
Shuichi Kanda ignored Ryuen's trash talk and was temporarily caught in a dilemma: should he choose Class A or Class B?
In fact, Shuichi Kanda to assign this project to Class D, because Miyake had confidently told him yesterday that there would definitely be no problem with this project.
Playing against Class A, Kamuro might send out a couple of weaklings; playing against Class B feels like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito, and both classes are currently down one game...
It's fine to swat mosquitoes, but comparing it to Class A is a real waste of a project.
All I can say is that Ichinose's decision to choose Class D just now put Shuichi Kanda a difficult position. However, if that happens, Class B might actually be the first to be eliminated.
As he selected Ichinose's avatar, Shuichi Kanda Ryuen, who was looking quite relaxed.
If Class C wins against Class B again, then no matter what event Class D draws next, Ryuen will definitely designate Class B directly. At that time, Class B will be right on the edge of a cliff.
Um?
No, I pointed to Class B. In the next round, Ryuen won't be able to designate Class B. Since that's the case, let's just go for it!
Upon seeing the challenge Shuichi Kanda, Ichinose felt that her actions earlier might have been rash. If she hadn't chosen Class D, Class C would definitely have chosen Class D this time and then taken points from Class D.
However, since things had come to this point, Ichinose still tried to resist and clicked "no."
Kamuro, on the other hand, unsurprisingly also chose to refuse, because Shuichi Kanda's Shuichi Kanda not to choose Class A first meant that he did not want to fight against Class A.
Therefore, Kamuro naturally refused, and even if Shuichi Kanda changed his mind, he could still forcefully designate Class A as his opponent in the second round.
Seeing the battle window pop up for the second time, Ichinose sighed helplessly and then sent two people up.
Shuichi Kanda the other hand, did not hesitate to choose Akito Miyake and Rina Akasaka. These two were originally prepared as combatants for Kyudo, so it was naturally best that they could be put to use now.
The rules of Kyudo used by Shuichi Kanda and his team are very simple: just look at the score when the target is hit.
As Miyake of the future captain of the Archery Club at this school, every arrow he shot reached a score of nine or higher. His teammate, Rina Akasaka, was also quite capable, with an average score of seven or eight.
At the Archery Club's practice ground, Miyake nodded approvingly at Rina Akasaka's movements and results, then struck up a conversation with her while the students from Class B were taking their exams.
"Akasaka-san, do you have any plans to join the Archery Club?"
"Me? This..." Akasaka paused for a moment, then hesitated.
The girls actually value small groups a lot. She's currently a member of the Karuizawa team, but if she joins the Archery Club, she'll definitely have less time for small group gatherings.
Over time, she might be neglected or ostracized, but in the past week or so, Rina Akasaka has discovered that she still prefers Kyudo, and everyone in the Archery Club is very nice.
