The Exam Begins: Katsuragi's Performance (Continued)

Hachiman received the bracelet and then returned to his original position.

It seems that the notification was made by the homeroom teacher of Class A.

Just like the four classes are clearly divided into different levels, with Meritocracy. The same applies to the homeroom teachers.

Just like now, Majima-sensei of Class A, is standing on a makeshift platform with a megaphone in hand.

The homeroom teachers of the other three classes stood on either side, like background figures or supporting characters.

The voice of Majima-sensei of Class A, rang out, "I am Majima, the homeroom teacher of Class A. First of all, it is commendable that you all managed to arrive here as required."

"However, one student is unable to participate in this activity due to health reasons, so a penalty of deducting 30 points from the initial score will be imposed."

"Because it is Special Exam, there will be corresponding penalties for absence."

"That's what Majima-sensei said."

As the homeroom teacher of Class A, he knew very well that the student who did not come to this room was from his class.

Then, the punishment for Sakayanagi was announced so directly.

Only.

"Ha?"

"Special Exam?"

"Weren't we supposed to be here for a relaxing trip? Why did it turn into an exam? The school didn't tell us that!"

The crowd instantly became noisy, but most of them were students from Class C.

After all, apart from Hachiman and the others who had been concerned about this for a long time, the classmates were surprised that the trip had turned into Special Exam.

Meanwhile, the students in Class B seemed to be just realizing what was happening, but they weren't as panicked as those in Class C.

However, Majima-sensei did not give the students time to calm down.

Instead, he continued.

"The theme of this Special Exam is freedom. The requirement is that you live together on this Uninhabited Island for a week. For the week starting today, you will have to make all the decisions yourselves."

"You can think of this as a wilderness survival game, just like the ones you see on TV. However, you are the main characters now."

"Then!"

The homeroom teacher of Class A seemed to be the type who was very businesslike and rarely smiled.

He stated directly, "None of you are allowed to board the ship this week; otherwise, it will be considered a forfeit. However, the school will provide you with some essential supplies, which are already prepared and placed on the beach below."

"The specific exam rules will be announced by your homeroom teacher."

"Above!"

"Following the order of Class CD, take small boats to the beach on the island, and then the rules will be explained."

"That's what Majima-sensei said."

The homeroom teacher of Class A gave a very direct explanation and also demanded strong execution.

Instead of giving the students much time to think, they were forced off the ship.

"Really...?"

"They actually have to survive on a deserted island for a week."

"How could you possibly succeed with just this little bit of stuff!"

"I'll die, I really will die!"

On the beach, the four classes lined up one by one to arrive at their respective class meeting points.

And there, just as Majima-sensei had said, were the supplies that the school had prepared for each class.

However, these supplies were somewhat insufficient.

Two eight-person tents, two flashlights, and a box of matches. A portable toilet.

In addition, considering that girls are more delicate, there is no limit to the amount of sunscreen, and two whole boxes were allocated.

Each person was also given a small blue bag containing toiletries such as toothpaste, toothbrush, towel, and soap, plus a water cup.

Certainly.

There are also special feminine hygiene products prepared for women.

However, considering the girls' privacy, these items need to be collected by the girls themselves from their homeroom teacher, and there is no limit to the number they can get.

However, faced with such a situation.

Before the assessment even began, the students in Class C were already plunged into despair.

Of course, since it's Special Exam, there are rewards as well.

"Each class is allocated 300 initial points, which can be used to purchase necessary daily necessities, making it very convenient. The results of this exam will be evaluated based on the number of points remaining in each class at the end."

One week later, any remaining points will be directly added to the class score!

In other words, if you don't spend a single penny.

In the end, the class can directly increase its score by 300 points!

This is a point of interest for those who want to Class Advancement.

And.

Compared to the previous written exam with a maximum score of 100, a score of 300 is probably not common.

At the same time, 300 points are very valuable.

The current evaluation scores for the four classes.

Class A, First Year Sakayanagi Class 1188 points

First Year Class B, Class Ichinose: 951 points

First Year Class C, Horikita's class: 550 points

First-year Class D, Ryuen Class: 0 points

The classes in Ryuen are significantly different from the other classes, but if classes Class A and Class B are used properly, there will be a big change.

For Class B, this might be their chance to challenge Class A.

For Class A, this means that they have completely distanced themselves from Class A Class B and the lower-ranked classes, and no longer need to worry about being overtaken.

In other words...

This exam could completely change the current class structure!

Certainly.

For Hachiman, if he can get 300 points, he will be one step closer to Class A. If the score is increased further and he can operate effectively, it may even be possible to achieve Class A in one step.

The homeroom teacher continued to announce the rules.

"Of course. 300 points is just the starting point. As long as you are skilled enough, you can get more points."

"There are many strongholds on the island. Each class will select a leader and distribute cards. By using the leader's card to occupy a stronghold, you can get bonus points and increase your score."

"But at the same time, guessing the identities of the leaders of the other classes has become the most important task for each class on the island, besides survival. Because a week later, each class will participate in an activity to guess the identities of the leaders of the other three classes."

"For each class you guess correctly, you can add 50 points to your class, but if you guess the wrong class, you will lose 50 points. It's a kind of gambling."

"Furthermore, 50 points will be deducted for each class that guesses the team leader's identity! And if any class guesses the team leader's identity, all of the class's bonus points for capturing the stronghold will be invalidated."

In other words, in addition to surviving, they also have to play the Werewolf game with other classes.

"So, Chabashira-sensei, what area does 'base' refer to?" Hachiman suddenly interjected.

It seems a bit rushed.

This doesn't seem like him at all.

But Chabashira explained.

"A stronghold is generally a place suitable for living and camping. It usually has caves, streams, flat land, food, etc., and is a place suitable for people to live in for a period of time."

"A card reader will be placed in the base area. After swiping the Leader Card, you can use the area."

"If a stronghold is occupied by someone else, and they use or damage the resources there without authorization, points will be deducted," Chabashira said.

Then some minor points to note were also explained.

Horikita listened attentively as Sae Chabashira explained the exam rules to them, and his expression relaxed.

Hachiman's question just now was indeed a bit strange, but she understood why the other person interrupted.

Because.

That was luck. While we were on the ship.

The announcement told the students to go to the deck to see "meaningful views," and then Hachiman went all out, having Sakura take pictures of all the views.

Then they were made to watch and even record the videos repeatedly.

The records document some points on the island that require attention.

Among them... there are quite a few places that seem suitable as strongholds.

So.

Now, besides the initial points and guessing the team leader, there's also scoring by capturing strongholds, which means... they have the advantage of timing, location, and people, right?

Thinking of this, Horikita couldn't help but look at the other two who had also received the news in advance.

Sakura still has a somewhat naive understanding of the exam rules.

But Kushida had already realized what was happening and looked over in surprise.

In other words...

This Special Exam is a great opportunity for Class C!

Sakura is truly amazing.

Hachiman thought of it.

Because who would have thought that Sakura not only has a strong sixth sense, but is also a lucky star.

So.

In addition to the initial 300 points, you can earn an extra 200-300 points in strongholds.

So in this Special Exam, there's a chance you'll score over 400 points.

They are directly approaching the position of Class A.

Meanwhile, in Class A, the homeroom teacher announced the rule that capturing strongholds would earn extra points.

Yahiko Totsuka looked at the bald, burly man beside him with equal excitement, "Katsuragi, you're amazing! This time, our class is definitely going to win!"

"Yahiko, calm down."

Katsuragi said calmly, "Keep this a secret for now, don't let anyone else know."

"I understand."

Yahiko nodded vigorously, unable to hide his excitement.

Although Katsuragi didn't say anything, he was extremely proud of himself.

In Class A, he wasn't like Ryuen from Class D, who ruled the entire class, nor was he as harmonious as Ichinose Class B.

He also had a rival, Arisu Sakayanagi.

Sakayanagi is very strong, not only in terms of reaction speed but also in terms of thinking ability.

At the same time, they made the most of the written exam in the last one.

I've secured my place as the next Student Council President.

This puts a lot of pressure on Katsuragi.

The other party is too outstanding.
