Exams Are Always Full of Surprises / Goodbye, Akito ...
"Okay, then let's leave it at that."
As the break ended, Chabashira-sensei spoke again.
"Now we will proceed with the second vote on the first topic. The time limit is sixty seconds."
Through the discussion just now, everyone had their own ideas and quickly decided on who to vote for.
The results of the second vote: Class B received 25 votes, Class C received 14 votes, and Class D received 1 vote.
"Since no consensus was reached, a halftime break will be scheduled."
As soon as Chabashira-sensei finished speaking, Shuichi Kanda immediately spoke up, as it was his responsibility as a leader.
"It seems the answer is obvious. Next time, we'll just choose Class B."
The students in the class all nodded.
After all, the "stability-seeking" faction only seeks stability; they aren't truly afraid of Class B.
"It wasn't difficult at all. This exam felt quite easy."
"Exactly, it doesn't feel like it will take five hours at all."
Ten minutes passed quickly amidst casual conversation.
"We will now proceed with the third vote on the first topic. You have sixty seconds."
The results of the second vote: Class B received 40 votes, Class C received 0 votes, and Class D received 0 votes.
"Since everyone agreed, the first assignment will be against Class B. We'll inform you of the class you'll be facing in the final exam after the official decision is made, but that should be tomorrow or later."
In this way, Shuichi Kanda and his group easily finished their first task in just over twenty minutes.

Chapter 348 Sports Festival in Progress
After getting a lot of information from Kiryuin, the matter was considered closed. With the Sports Festival getting closer, each class gradually began to reduce the frequency of their practice.
Now that we've reached this final stage, everyone is prepared to approach it with a calm mindset. Rushing things could lead to injury, and all our previous efforts could be wasted.
On the day of the Sports Festival, all the students wore sports shirts and lined up to enter the field as if they were practicing. After all, this time was different from before. This time, not only the school leaders but also the guests invited from outside were observing their performance.
Moreover, it is said that in addition to government officials, the guests also included investors in the school.
That's right. Although the school was founded with the government's support, the large portion of the budget each year comes not from the government, but from prominent figures from all walks of life.
Many students also want to make a good impression on these people, so that even if they don't graduate from Class A in the end, they might be favored by them and embark on a different path.
"Distinguished guests, teachers, and students, I am the current Student Council President of this school, Shuichi Kanda..."
Shuichi Kanda stepped onto the stage and began his opening address for the Sports Festival, while almost everyone below turned to look at him.
Despite the intense gazes of many, Shuichi Kanda remained unmoved and delivered his opening address with unwavering composure.
By now, he's become quite adept at handling these kinds of situations.
After delivering the opening address, Shuichi Kanda, on behalf of the teachers, reiterated the important points regarding the Sports Festival, and then the Sports Festival officially began.
Afterwards, apart from the students and staff, everyone else gradually arrived at the stands and took their seats in the audience.
In addition, the school also has medical personnel stationed here, who will provide immediate assistance should a student be injured.
The students then began to have free time to prepare for the projects they had signed up for.
Although it's called free time, there are actually some rules. After participating in all the competitions, students who don't plan to participate in the team competitions must go to the designated area to cheer for their class.
If someone is found chatting, resting, or slacking off in an unrelated place, they will not only be disqualified from the competition, but their existing points will also be forfeited.
This point cannot be considered anything less than rigorous.
However, upon closer examination, this regulation is quite normal.
After all, we have guests today. If the students go on their own after the competition or leave the playground, then there probably won't be any students left on the huge playground.
That scene must have been quite unpleasant.
Shuichi Kanda's first competition is the 100-meter race.
Last year, we undoubtedly came in last place; this year, we can try to see if we can take first place.
After thinking for a moment, Shuichi Kanda took out Black Belt from his pocket and tied it around his waist. It was only a 100-meter sprint; with the Black Belt on, it would probably only take a few seconds.
He even had to control himself a little, so as not to be too conspicuous, after all, this explosive power was no joke.
In the group that was about to begin, Shuichi Kanda didn't know anyone, except for Utsunomiya Riku from Class 1-C and whom he had spoken to before.
It's really surprising that even though Yagami from Class 1-B has been sent away for a long time, Class 1-C still failed to seize the opportunity to advance.
At this moment, Utsunomiya was running at the very front of the group, ranking first in his group, with the second-place runner about ten meters behind him.
How can someone lead by nearly ten meters in a 100-meter sprint? What's going on in this group?
Shuichi Kanda didn't think it was Utsunomiya who ran too fast; rather, he thought everyone else was running too slowly.
It seems this guy was outmaneuvered by someone using the strategy of Tian Ji's horse racing.
Utsunomiya's time was a little over fourteen seconds but less than fifteen seconds, which is quite remarkable among students.
With proper training, he could definitely reach the level of a sprinter.
At the same time, Shuichi Kanda also learned more about the abilities of the students at this school, aside from those monsters.
Utsunomiya's physical ability is 87, and there are very few people in this school who are stronger than him. So, if he runs around 15 shots, will he be able to secure first place?
Shuichi Kanda nodded.
Each group of 100-meter races had 8 people, and soon it was Shuichi Kanda's turn to run. This was also the first event Shuichi Kanda participated in.
When Shuichi Kanda stepped onto the track, those around him were somewhat surprised, because Shuichi Kanda's physical fitness was not particularly high.
That's at least what the OAA says.
Although he won first place many times during the Uninhabited Island Exam, he also missed the arrival order many times.
Therefore, the school didn't exaggerate too much when updating his grades; it simply increased his score from 25 to 45.
In other words, the difference between D- and C- is considered weak for the average person.
So after Shuichi Kanda signed up, many people immediately joined Shuichi Kanda group, seemingly wanting to take advantage of his weakness.
"Nice to meet you, Chairman!"
The one who greeted me was Takahashi Osamu from Class 1-A, a member of the Student Council, and a very efficient worker.
This guy has a lively personality and gets along well with others in the Student Council. Although his academic performance isn't great, his physical strength and interpersonal skills are top-notch. He's just a bit tactless sometimes.
Simply put, it means that although there is no malicious intent, they are oblivious to the atmosphere, or in short, they lack tact.
However, Shuichi Kanda doesn't dislike these kinds of guys, because sometimes they can be really fun to watch.
This guy sighed about it when the registration rules were first released.
"If I were in the same group as the president, wouldn't it be so easy to win?"
Shuichi Kanda wasn't angry about this; he just smiled and told him to keep going.
"Takahashi, you didn't choose to be in my group because you think I'm easy to bully, did you?"
"No, how could that be? I'm just a little confident in my sprinting."
Hearing Takahashi's words, Shuichi Kanda chuckled twice, then tied the Black Belt around his waist and assumed a running posture.
He's been training with Kamuro for many days now, so at least in terms of the starting line, he won't fall behind.
"On your marks! Get set... Bang!"
As the referee fired the flare, almost everyone rushed out at once, with Shuichi Kanda naturally leading the way.
"Wow, so fast!"
"Is that really the Student Council President?"
Wasn't his physical ability only D- on the OAA?
"He's completely different from last year!"
Not only first graders, but also second and third graders were deeply moved.
Last year during the Sports Festival, Shuichi Kanda walked on the track, which led the school to temporarily change the rules.
At this moment, he actually...
With Black Belt around his waist, Shuichi Kanda moment. While moving at high speed, he could even sense Takahashi Osamu's position to control his own speed.
Then, despite being suppressed throughout the match, Takahashi Osamu was defeated by Shuichi Kanda in first place.
"Huff... huff..., President, how did you run so fast?"
After the strenuous exercise, Takahashi Osamu was panting heavily, and he looked at Shuichi Kanda who had seen a ghost.
Shuichi Kanda now, untied the Black Belt from his waist, and patted Takahashi Osamu on the shoulder.
"Hehe, you still have a long way to go."
Meanwhile, the stands were buzzing with excitement because Shuichi Kanda was incredibly fast, having broken the 14-second barrier, a feat comparable to that of a typical third-level athlete.
With training, he might be able to run even faster.
"You, you actually ran that fast?"
As Shuichi Kanda stepped off the field, he was intercepted by Horikita. Horikita looked very surprised because Shuichi Kanda's burst of speed was even faster than hers.
Is this the same weakling from last year?
"Even you underestimate me." Shuichi Kanda quite dissatisfied. Horikita, you little brat, have you forgotten the time I pinned you to the ground and gave you a good beating, huh?
"I was just surprised."
Horikita shook his head.
"Hey! Horikita, let's have a showdown!"
The person who suddenly appeared on Shuichi Kanda's side was Ibuki Mio from Class D. No one knew when she had taken Horikita as her rival.
Last year, they slightly lost to Horikita in the 100-meter race at the Sports Festival. Are they trying to get revenge here?
However, seeing her panting heavily, Shuichi Kanda was somewhat dumbfounded.
Is this guy an idiot?
Are you an idiot?
Ah!
Someone said it first!
"Huh! What are you suddenly saying? Are you afraid of losing to me? Is that what's going on?" Ibuki, who had been called an idiot by Horikita, immediately started jumping up and down like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
