Class D now had thirty-two students remaining, but only twelve had gone to the Forest Camp Exam last time. In other words, more than half had chosen to stay at school and take the 20,000 in living expenses. On one hand, they got the money; on the other, they did not have to take a bus somewhere for a week of exhausting classes.

The facts proved that they still regretted it somewhat. The students who went to Forest Camp had their meal expenses covered, and every student who returned received at least 5,000 plus 5,000—10,000 in living expenses. Some had even earned 50,000, 100,000, or as much as 300,000!

And at most, they could only earn a 100-point reward. That was practically the same as having no reward at all.
Disappointingly, their living expenses would not increase.
"Then if we fail this exam, will we be expelled?" Karuizawa suddenly raised her hand and asked.

Failing meant expulsion.
Even if the living expenses were low, they did not want to be expelled.
"For this exam, failing will not result in expulsion," Chabashira-sensei said. "Points will only be deducted."
So that
