Therefore, students had to be assigned to the mandatory events, but by using Tian Ji's Horse Racing Strategy, they could greatly increase their chances of securing points for the top three places.
That would make a substantial increase in points highly likely.
Looking solely at the class scores in the compulsory events that everyone had to participate in, it seemed fairly promising.
Even though Class A had some strong students, their total score definitely could not compare to Ryuen's class.
In other words, if Ryuen's class could gain an advantage in the eight mandatory event groups—
Then they would only need to worry about the lottery involving the forty students whose results would be counted separately after all events had ended.
Each class had ten students whose scores did not belong to the class.
As for those ten students who had been selected—
They definitely would not participate in the additional recommended events.
Because there was no way to know whether they would be drawn at the end of the exam.
So they could only respond normally.
After all—
For the ten students in their own class, the chance of drawing them was only one in four, while the chance of them being drawn away by another class was three in four.
So—
They should not supply resources to the other classes.
Thus—
The students selected from Ryuen's class were Albert, Ibuki, Komiyama, Kinoshita, and six other nobodies.
Albert, Ibuki, Komiyama, and Kinoshita, who was strong in track and field, only needed to complete the mandatory events.
That also opened up more slots for the others to compete.
Someone needed to fill the recommended-event slots that Albert and the others could previously have taken.
And now—
Ryuen was searching everywhere for suitable participants.
The recommended events were optional, but not
