The Exam Ends, Class C's Complete Victory! (Continued)
Shuichi Kanda then secretly reflected that he still hadn't mastered the skills; analyzing the remaining fighting strength of other classes was also a very important part of this kind of chaotic battle.
Well, we were lucky this time; the projects we drew all resulted in points for Class C.
Doubles tennis not only tests the tennis skills of both players, but also their teamwork and coordination.
The two players in Class D, although not tennis players, have often partnered with each other during Basketball Club practice. Therefore, they are a combination who are not proficient in tennis but have excellent teamwork.
The two from Class B, Kanzaki Ryuji and Shibata Hayato, are the all-around athletes. For example, Shibata is not only good at soccer, but he also has some experience in tennis. As for Kanzaki, Shuichi Kanda noticed that he seems to know a little bit about everything.
Moreover, the environment of Class B itself meant that the two of them would have excellent teamwork.
After a fierce battle, Kanzaki and Shibata emerged victorious with great difficulty.
Komiya and Kondo knelt on the ground, their faces showing resentment.
The two sides were actually very evenly matched, but they forgot about the time limit. In the end, Kanzaki successfully outmaneuvered them, suddenly pulling a fast one when time was almost up, and took the lead by one point.
If the game continued, Komiya and Kondo Komiya were confident of winning, which is why they were so unwilling to accept defeat when the final whistle blew.
Shibata and Kanzaki, on the other hand, showed the joy of victory. They had finally gotten their revenge by defeating Class D head-on.
"Looks like my match is over."
Ryuen wasn't angry when he saw Komiya and Kondo lose. In sports, when the two sides are evenly matched, using your brain becomes the key to victory.
With Kanzaki on the field in Class B, Ryuen knew halfway through the game that Class D couldn't win unless they had exceptional luck or those two suddenly had a burst of power.
But clearly, they are not the main characters; they don't have the protagonist's halo.
After Class B's victory, Ichinose breathed a sigh of relief, bringing the score to 2-3, a loss of only 50 points. Now it's up to Class C to see what event they will draw.
If it were Basketball, one of the teams, Class B or Class A, would almost certainly have to go.
It can't be Basketball, it can't be Basketball!
As if in response to Ichinose's prayer, Shuichi Kanda card, and the light circle stayed on the Rock Paper Scissors.
Game: Rock Paper Scissors.
Required number of people: 20.
Rules: One-on-one, best-of-three elimination tournament. The match ends when all members of one side are eliminated.
Commander Authority: Allows, once and for all, the player who was eliminated to be revived and re-enter the competition.
To my surprise, this was drawn at this time. Currently, there are 24 people remaining in Class C, 17 in Class B, and 27 in Class A.
After glancing at Ichinose, Shuichi Kanda chose Class B.
Rock Paper Scissors isn't a sure-win game, so Shuichi Kanda preferred to leave this potentially lost match to Class B.
Furthermore, if Class B wins this round of Rock Paper Scissors, Class B will have the opportunity to compete in the second round, essentially making a full recovery.
Actually, choosing Class A is the best option here, even if we lose the Rock Paper Scissors game, it doesn't matter.
At that time, only four people will remain in Class C, while the remaining seven people in Class A will be eliminated in the next round of the competition.
Since Class A only has two written tests left, the Modern Literature test and the social studies test, if Shuichi Kanda chooses Class A, then naturally four people with similar scores will remain. Then, with the help of the outstanding students in the second round, he will surely be able to get another 50 Class Points from Class A in one fell swoop.
As for Class B, they will have even less chance of winning against a fully recovered Class C.
However, Shuichi Kanda different path; he opted for Class B, which could be seen as him trying to curry favor with Ichinose.
I also want to see if luck is on Class B's side today.
Seeing that Class C had chosen their side, Ichinose took a deep breath and then sent out all the remaining students from Class B at once. He then selected three more students from other students to make a total of twenty.
As for Class C, Shuichi Kanda kept four people: Ishikura Kayoko, Azuma Sakina, Nishimura Ryuko, and Matsushita Chiaki.
The rest of the people were all engrossed in the Rock Paper Scissors game.
"I never expected that Rock Paper Scissors would come up at this time."
The students selected from Class C were all subtly excited. They might not be good at other things, but when it came to Rock Paper Scissors, even they might have a chance of winning, right?
First round of Rock Paper Scissors, 20 against 20, begin!
"Rock, paper, scissors!"
Not only the participants, but even the students watching spontaneously shouted slogans, making the entire Gymnasium deafening!
In this competition that relied entirely on luck, after the first round, Class B had 8 students remaining and Class C had 12 students remaining.
The second round is 8v8.
"Rock, paper, scissors!"
This time, 5 students from Class B won, and 3 students from Class C won. Adding the four extra students from before, there are 7 students remaining.
The third round is 5v5.
Three students from Class B won, two students from Class C remained, and with the two extra students from before, there are four remaining!
In the fourth round, a 3V3 match, Class B won with 2 players, and Class C won with 1 player. Adding the extra player from before, they now have exactly 2 players.
The fifth round, which is also very likely the final round, is 2v2.
The remaining two members of Class C are Kanji Ike, who proposed the project, and Sakura Airi, who has not been of much use.
"I feel a little nervous." Looking at the opponent's hand, Ike kept taking deep breaths. Sakura next to him wasn't much better, but although she was nervous, she was okay.
As for Class B, the pressure is even greater.
Because if they win, their class's strength will be instantly boosted, giving them a chance to win again; if they lose, then it's all over.
"Rock, paper, scissors!"
Class C's complete victory!
"Yes! I won!" Chi shouted loudly as he looked at his fist that had won against his opponent.
"Don't get too excited. The Commander Authority allows one of the eliminated players to re-enter the competition." Seeing Ike's smug expression, Horikita couldn't help but pour cold water on his enthusiasm.
"Right, right." Chi snapped out of his daze and came to his senses. "Anyone who wants to participate in the revival round, I'll gladly oblige!"
Chi looked at the students in Class B, perhaps because he was blessed by Lady Luck today, he was extremely arrogant.
"I was chosen by the Commander. My name is Hamaguchi Tetsuya. Nice to meet you." A slender boy with a somewhat androgynous appearance stepped forward from the ranks.
"I am Kanji Ike, nice to meet you."
Round 6, 1V1, Hamaguchi Tetsuya vs. Kanji Ike!
This highly anticipated battle made the two of them... no, not just the two of them, but everyone else tense up.
"Rock, paper, scissors!"
"Yay!"
With his knees bent, Kanji Ike roared to the sky. Even in the revival round, Ike had won. As expected of his saying, "I'm quite good at Rock Paper Scissors!"
In the Multipurpose Classroom, looking at the final result, Ichinose shook her head and smiled bitterly. Of course, she could see that Shuichi Kanda was giving her a chance, but clearly, luck was not on her side today.
"The next match might be the last one," Tomoya Mashima sighed.
The four students Shuichi Kanda just kept were all students with decent grades, while the two remaining tests for Class A — the Modern Literature Test and the Social Studies Test—are both academically oriented, and both have more than five students...
Class A has virtually no chance of winning.
Kamuro pressed the draw button and then selected the Modern Literature test.
Project: Modern Literature Test
Required number of participants: 6; time: 50 minutes.
Rules: After a 50-minute exam, the total scores will be compared, and the one with the higher score wins.
Commander Authority: None.
After sending out the four people he had specifically left behind, Shuichi Kanda filled in the gaps with Horikita and Yukimura, thus ensuring everything was foolproof.
Meanwhile, Kamuro randomly selected a few students with average academic abilities.
Ryuen had watched the game until the very end, finally understood when he saw this scene...
So, you're saying Class A is under your control?
The result was obvious: Class C won. The Special Exam is over, and the scores for each class are as follows.
Class A: 1-4.
Class B: 2-4.
Class C: 7-0.
Class D: 2-4.
According to the rules of the Special Exam, Class A will have 150 Class Points stolen, Class B and Class D will each have 100 Class Points stolen, while Class C will not only receive the stolen 350 Class Points, but also the 100 Class Points awarded to the first place winner, for a total of 450 Class Points.
In that case, Class C, led by Shuichi Kanda, will definitely be promoted to Class A.
Then, Shuichi Kanda looked at Chabashira Sae, who was standing behind Ichinose Class B, and noticed that she seemed a little dazed, sometimes excited, sometimes sad, and sometimes sighing for no apparent reason.
"Congratulations, Kanda! I thought this exam would be a fierce battle, but it turned out to be a complete victory for Class C? No, I should congratulate Kanda in advance! You'll be in Class A soon!"
Standing behind Ryuen, Hoshinomiya offered his congratulations to Shuichi Kanda.
Shuichi Kanda instinctively wanted to say a few polite words of thanks, but when he turned his head, he found that Hoshinomiya-sensei's expression was like that of a demon. Although she looked like she was smiling, there was not a trace of smile on her face no matter how you looked at it.
Moreover, her attention wasn't on Shuichi Kanda at all, but fixed on Chabashira Sae standing behind Ichinose.
"The exam is over. Students, please leave the classroom as soon as possible."
After glancing at Chie Hoshinomiya, and perhaps not wanting the students to see the teachers' embarrassing state, Mashima immediately gave an order.
"Would you like to go back to the classroom?"
"No, let's end it here for today. It's getting late, so it's fine to go home right away," Ms. Mashima patiently explained.
"Students are so lucky—they can just go back like this."
"Hoshinomiya-sensei, please prepare to pack up."
"Okay."
After receiving specific instructions, the four students stood up from their seats. Kamuro walked calmly toward Ichinose, then took Ichinose's hand and led her toward the door.
Ryuen looked with interest at the two people walking towards the door, and then at Shuichi Kanda, who had just stood up.
What is this guy planning to do? Regarding Kamuro, putting aside the earlier parts of the exam, just from that final selection of people, Sakayanagi should be able to see that Kamuro deliberately lost.
They're probably going to really punish Kamuro next. How are you going to deal with that?
However, he immediately thought of a possibility: was he planning to bring Kamuro to Class C? If so, then it would make sense.
This also serves as a good opportunity to see if the school's claim that 20 million yuan can be used to freely transfer classes is true.
However, since he was going to transfer classes, Ryuen felt it would be better to transfer from a lower-ranked class to a higher-ranked class, so he immediately struck up Shuichi Kanda after leaving the classroom.
"Kanda, are you planning to have Kamuro transfer 20 million points to you?"
Shuichi Kanda all that Ryuen had guessed his thoughts. In fact, if Ryuen hadn't guessed, Shuichi Kanda would have ridiculed him mercilessly.
After all, the final selection was essentially a complete abandonment. Considering this, and the fact that Kamuro and Shuichi Kanda were late when they first arrived at the Multipurpose Classroom, it's not hard to tell that Kamuro was Kanda's mole.
He was curious about how Shuichi Kanda managed to turn Kamuro against them, and when he had succeeded.
Judging from the events between the last exam and this exam, it's clear that it wasn't a short period of time.
Is it really because of love?
"That's right, this was decided from the beginning. Masumi has betrayed Class A, so it's no longer appropriate for her to stay in Class A. Although she may not be expelled immediately, she will definitely be ostracized."
"Hmph, the protection is really thorough." Ryuen sneered. "When do you plan to make your move? Tomorrow, or next semester?"
Is there any difference?
Shuichi Kanda asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Idiot, transferring now means moving from a higher-ranked class to a lower-ranked class. Next semester, it'll be the lower-ranked class moving to a higher-ranked class. Don't you understand that?"
Upon hearing Shuichi Kanda's answer, Ryuen immediately mocked him, saying that such an opportunity was rare and he had to seize it.
Upon hearing Ryuen's words, Shuichi Kanda's eyebrows twitched, and he realized what was happening.
It's like graduation; it's very difficult for other classes to get the rewards from Class A, but students in Class A should be allowed to give up the rewards if they want to.
