This exam had different levels of difficulty for the three grades.
The second- and third-years did not need to worry too much, since it did not involve expulsion. Still, they could try to earn as many points as possible.
For the third-years, Ryuen's class had already cheated like they had cheat codes enabled. No matter how desperately the other classes studied, they could not take first place.
Thus, with Class A slacking off, Class C working hard, and Class D remaining indifferent, Ryuen's class took first place.
There had been no surprises there.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in Utsunomiya's class among the second-years was poor.
During the exam, his class had also realized that they might not score highly on this written test. Of course, for most students in his class, the exam itself was difficult. Under normal circumstances, his class had a few outstanding students, but their overall ability was inferior to the original Classes A and B. Therefore, this exam was unfavorable for them.
Still, their luck was acceptable. Even if they failed, they would not be expelled. However, points would be deducted.
If any student failed any subject, the class would lose ten points.
And if one person failed multiple subjects, even more points would be deducted.
Therefore, without intervention, every class would likely have one or several students with severe weaknesses in certain subjects.
Among them, the students of this year's second-year Class A were very strong, so finding their weaknesses was difficult.
But under the current circumstances, their class had already changed its strategy. Rather than aiming to rise to Class A, they sought to earn as many points as possible and follow the path of Ichinose's class.
After all, some students in the class simply could not be brought up to standard.
