Class A Is So Pitiful-Oh, No, I Mean Class B!

As for Class B and Class C, they were left empty. Although he learned from Ryuen that the leader of Class B was a girl named Shiranami Chihiro, he chose to give up because he had not left any evidence.

After taking back the form that Katsuragi had handed her, Ms. Mashima couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This exam was completely dominated by Class D. When he saw Katsuragi write down Class D' s name, he knew that Class A must have lost badly this time. He just didn't know how well Class D could do this time.

As a fair teacher, Mashima did not show any strange behavior in front of Katsuragi. She simply put away the form Katsuragi handed her and told the students of Class A to gather at the beach within an hour.

Meanwhile, Chie Hoshinomiya teacher of Class B, also handed over a form to Ichinose Honami to guess who the leader was.

After receiving the form Ichinose Honami and Kanzaki Ryuji exchanged a glance before quickly writing down the name of the leader of Class A — Yahiko Totsuka.

"You guys barely left the camp and yet you still managed to spot the leaders of other classes? That's impressive."

Chie Hoshinomiya smiled as she took the form from Ichinose Honami.

"Actually, it was all because of the preferential treatment given to Class D."

Ichinose scratched his cheek with his index finger, embarrassed. The fact that Class B was able to pass the exam so easily this time was actually due to the help from Class D.

Now that the other side has already determined the name of the leader of Class A, Class B is naturally willing to intervene and help Class A out.

Hoshinomiya was also thrilled. As a teacher, she knew what her students were doing, so she knew very well that the leader of Class A was Yahiko Totsuka.

Only...

Sigh, what's wrong with that kid named Shuichi Kanda? He actually used such a reckless method and actually succeeded.

At this moment, Hoshinomiya desperately wanted to reveal the information about the leader of Class D to Ichinose, and then have Ichinose write it down.

However, if a teacher does such a thing, they will definitely be dismissed if discovered.

Furthermore, based on her understanding of Ichinose, even if Ichinose learned about the leader of Class D from her at this moment, she probably wouldn't write it down.

Damn it! Why does such a freak have to appear in Class D?!

While excited, Chie Hoshinomiya was also filled with jealousy towards Chabashira Sae!

On the Class C, Ryuen Kakeru, who had finally reunited with the board, did not hesitate to write down the names of the leaders of Class A — Yahiko Totsuka, and Class B — Shiranami Chihiro.

"Aren't you going to let Class D make a move?"

"That guy is like me; if I don't kill him in one go, I'll face a fierce counterattack. So, I don't plan to break ties with him until I'm absolutely certain. Besides, I don't know who he'll leave alive, so this time, this is enough."

After handing the form to the board, Ryuen stretched his limbs and headed towards the beach.

Meanwhile, students from each class began packing their belongings and sorting their trash. Then, the students in Class D prepared to leave the island and head to the beach to meet up, following Chabashira-sensei's instructions.

Although this island left us with many happy memories, camping here for seven consecutive days was still quite tiring.

Fortunately, students don't need to collect things like tents, toilets, and kitchens; otherwise, they would have been busy until the afternoon.

Following the instructions of their respective homeroom teachers, students from all four classes began to gradually gather on the beach.

"Ah, it's finally over. Camping was fun, but I'm still really tired."

"Me too, I'm going to take a good shower when I get back to the ship."

"Ahhh, I want to have a big meal!"

"I'm going back to get some sleep!"

Class D, and not just Class D, but also students from other classes who arrived one after another, all looked excited about passing the exam.

Soon, the remaining students from Class A, Class B, and Class D had all gathered, leaving only Class C's area empty.

However, this situation did not last long, as Ryuen led Ibuki and Kaneda out of the forest.

Next, each class began counting the number of students.

On Class A's side, ever since they emerged from the forest, Katsuragi had noticed Kouenji's striking blond hair among Class D's group.

What happened?

Didn't Kouenji withdraw from the competition?

For a moment, Katsuragi's expression became somewhat uncontrollable.

Kouenji seemed to notice someone watching him, so he looked towards Class A, found Katsuragi, and gave him a smile.

We're doomed!

They've fallen for their trap!

Even though he already felt he had fallen into a trap, he still held a sliver of hope. Perhaps they hadn't withdrawn from the competition due to illness, but had replaced their leader through some other means?

Soon, each class finished counting the number of students. Apart from the large number of Class C students who withdrew from the competition, the rest of the students had gathered.

A sharp sound—the megaphone button being turned on—quickly echoed across the entire beach, and then Mashima appeared in front of the student contingent.

The first-grade students hurriedly tried to line up, but Mashima stopped them with her hand.

"You can relax a bit. The exams are over, and this is now part of summer vacation. Although it's short, you don't need to be so formal."

Even so, the atmosphere among the students remained tense, and the chatter gradually faded away.

"This week, our faculty and staff have truly witnessed your dedication to the Special Exam. Some of you tackled them head-on, while others found alternative approaches, and some students even did things that were unprecedented, truly opening the eyes of all the teachers. Although the methods were diverse, overall, I think the exam results were excellent. Thank you for your hard work."

The students looked relieved to receive such unwavering praise from Mashima.

The week of exams is finally over—I'm sure everyone feels that same way now.

"Now, I'd like to announce the results of the Special Exam directly. Furthermore, we will not accept any questions regarding the results. I hope you will accept the results yourselves, analyze them, and apply this knowledge to the next exam."

The room fell silent as everyone awaited the announcement of the exam results.

Then, Ms. Mashima's voice came through the loudspeaker.

"Now I will announce the rankings of the Special Exam. The last place goes to Class A with 70 points."

"What..."

"Impossible!"

"Could there be some mistake?"

At this moment, even the students in Class A were greatly shaken, because not only did they each have to pay 20,000 Private Points every month, but they also failed this exam so badly.

Katsuragi closed his eyes in anguish. Ryuen, you really betrayed us!

No, did classes B, C, and D unite?

Katsuragi couldn't think of any other possibility.

"Next up is the third place— Class C, 125 points. Second place is Class B, 210 points."

The students erupted in commotion; these were rankings and scores that no one had anticipated.

Meanwhile, Class D eagerly awaited Mashima- sensei's final announcement.

"And then there's Class D..."

Ms. Mashima froze for a moment, but then immediately spoke again.

"...371 points, first place. Results conclude here."

As soon as Ms. Mashima finished speaking, a huge cheer erupted from Class D, making the entire beach seem to shake.

Of the 371 points, 50 were earned by correctly guessing the leader of Class A, while the remaining 321 were temporary points that Kouenji and his team had worked hard to earn.

Upon hearing this number, even the usually stern-faced Horikita Suzune broke into a relieved smile.

Shuichi Kanda exchanged a glance with Kouenji, who was standing next to him, and then simultaneously raised his right hand and clapped his hands in celebration.

"What a perfect plan, you sickly boy."

"No, your execution ability shouldn't be underestimated either, Brother Mei."

"Beautiful Bro? Hmm, I like that nickname, hahaha!"

From this moment on, the situation in the four classes changed once again.

Perhaps from this moment on, we can call Ichinose's class the new Class A.

Katsuragi, who had worked hard for seven days hoping to widen the gap with the other classes, suffered a crushing defeat.

Chapter 114 Class A is really pitiful, oh no, I mean Class B!

On the beach of the Uninhabited Island, when Ms. Mashima announced the final results, the entire Class D cheered excitedly.

Class B, who achieved a score of 210, were also quite excited. Although they lost a lot of points because the leader was guessed at the end, it didn't matter.

From this moment on, they were officially Class A. It took them only half a year to go from Class B to Class A, something that no one else in the school seemed to have been able to do before.

Ichinose Honami's class has shown all generations of students and teachers at Advanced Nurturing High School what it means to win without effort.

However, compared to them, the students in Class D were truly excited.

Because starting next month, their allowance will jump from 14,000 to over 50,000.

Although it's half the 100,000 students at the start of the semester, the students in Class D, who had endured three months of hardship, are now feeling immensely satisfied.

"Fifty thousand! Our living expenses will be fifty thousand starting next month!"

"Ah! I don't have to eat the Wild Vegetable Set Meal anymore!"

"I want to buy a game console!"

"Count me in!"

Compared to classes B and C, the atmosphere in Class A was like that of a gambler who had lost all his money in a game of poker.

"I don't believe it, this is impossible!" Even with Katsuragi's composure, he couldn't remain calm any longer. "Mashima, I demand that the specific exam results be made public!"

Seeing Katsuragi's broken defenses, Mashima sighed softly.

"Then we'll grant your request. Normally, the results of such exams aren't made public, but this situation has truly taken everyone by surprise, so you have the right to know."

That's right, students are usually not informed of specific exam information after the exam, but there are exceptions.

If this exam were a game of Go, everyone else would place one stone at a time, but Shuichi Kanda, the player, would place all his stones on the board as soon as someone else made a move.

To prevent this from happening again, the school has decided to make the detailed scores for this exam completely public.

"First, the final leaders of the four classes will be announced." Tomoya Mashima picked up the megaphone and began to read, "Class A's leader Yahiko Totsuka; Class B's leader is Shiranami Chihiro; Class C's leader Ryuen Kakeru; Class D' s leader... Horikita Suzune."

"Impossible! I saw with my own eyes that Rokusuke Koenji occupied the island's stronghold, and Ryuen also sent people to take photos of Class D's Akito Miyake occupying the stronghold. Why would Horikita Suzune be the leader?"

"Furthermore, neither Kouenji nor Miyake withdrew from the exam. Even if Ryuen lied to me and used a fake photo, the leader of Class D should be Rokusuke Koenji. Why is it Horikita Suzune? How exactly was the leader changed!? Are the rules in that book just for show?"

Katsuragi's continuous questions were also what all the students in Class A wanted to know. Although they had not seen the photos of Miyake occupying the stronghold, several students in their class had personally witnessed Kouenji occupying the stronghold.

So even if the leader of Class D isn't Miyake, it should be Kouenji, so why is it Horikita Suzune?

"That's precisely why the exam details will be made public this time." Tomoya Mashima's expression was somewhat helpless. "Class D adopted a multi-leader policy."

At the end of the exam, all the leaders except Horikita Suzune chose to relinquish their leadership positions, thus Horikita Suzune became the final leader of Class D.

Horikita Suzune was the leader of Class D from the beginning, so she met the minimum requirement that the leader could not be changed without special circumstances.

"Multiple... multiple leaders policy? Shouldn't a class only have one leader?" Katsuragi's face turned green.

"We have never said that. The rules only state that you need to elect a leader, but they do not prohibit you from electing multiple leaders."

"In fact, we teachers weren't clear about this multiple-leader system either, so the matter was reported directly to the school's examination association. After a meeting, they decided that the multiple-leader system could be used only for this exam, and the rules would be further improved in the future."

The students in Class A looked extremely grim. They were helpless; anyone in their position would be in a bind. How could a leader be treated like this?

This is a complete intellectual crushing defeat. From the moment they failed to discover this rule, Class A was destined to fail.

Wait a minute, Ryuen should have guessed the name of the leader of Class D by now, so why did Class C still have over a hundred points in revenue?

Even the students who had originally intended to reprimand Katsuragi were now somewhat dumbfounded. Even if Sakayanagi were there, they might not have anticipated something like this.

"But if we only guess the name of a leader wrong, it's only a deduction of 50 initial points, right? We only have 70 points."

A student from Class A brought up the topic again.

"Don't you understand? It's because all three classes guessed your class leader correctly."

Ryuen walked over, wearing a tracksuit covered in mud.

"Ryuen!"

The students in Class A stared intently at Ryuen, wanting to tear a piece of flesh from him.
