Chiaki Matsushita Is Slacking Off

However, apart from Hachiman, he didn't know any Ichinose the Class A or Class B.

Coincidentally, he knew all the students in Class C and Class D.

Class C is our own class, no need to explain.

As for Class D, they're all familiar faces.

She stole his underwear and framed Ibuki, and then there was Manabe's gang, who had previously clashed with Karuizawa.

But Hachiman's keen observation of humanity suddenly revealed...

Karuizawa, who remained calm and unresponsive throughout Majima-sensei's announcement of the exam rules, finally showed a change now as she looked at the card.

They must have seen Manabe.

But.

"Wait! What does this mean?!"

But someone reacted even more strongly than her: Yukimura, who wore glasses. "Isn't the Special Exam organized by class? Isn't it dangerous to team up with other classes now? After all, we're enemies!"

"Enemy?"

Upon hearing this Tomoya Majima seemed to have finally found an opportunity to express his opinion, and said coldly, "Your three years of school life have only just begun, and you have already made so many enemies. Your future is truly worrying."

Um.

Hachiman, however, somewhat agreed with what Majima-sensei said.

Because.

The term "enemy" is not quite accurate.

In class rivalries like this, as long as there are interests at stake, there are no permanent friends or enemies.

At the same time, even if you are in different classes, you are not necessarily enemies.

Just like Kushida, she fully demonstrated what it means to have no boundaries when it comes to friendship.

Regardless of whether they are from different classes or different grades, anyone she can reach will become her friend.

"Any other questions?"

Tomoya Majima said calmly, "If not, I'll continue."

Upon hearing this, everyone else fell silent.

"Here's a piece of advice for you."

Tomoya Majima suddenly said, "For this exam, you'd better ignore the friction with other classes for now; that's a shortcut to passing the exam."

"And then..."

As he spoke, Majima-sensei handed over a sheet of paper. A quick glance revealed a large number of rules written in small print. Just looking at it was enough to make one's head spin; sweat was already beading on Sotomura's forehead.

They probably felt they couldn't understand it at all.

"Wait a moment."

But Hachiman took the paper and spread it out on the table.

Then I took the camera.

Click.

I took a photo.

"That's fine," Hachiman said.

"..." Majima.

Majima-sensei rubbed his forehead. He could only remain silent, watching as they began to examine the rules.

Special Exam Instructions

This exam uses the "VIP" students assigned to each group as a benchmark. By answering the questions according to the prescribed method, students are guaranteed one of four possible results.

1. The school will send an email to all students at 8:00 AM on the day the exam begins to notify them. Those selected as "VIP" will also be informed of their selection.

2. The exam schedule is from tomorrow until 9 PM four days later.

3. Group members must meet in the designated room twice a day, from 9-10 am and 8-9 pm, for a one-hour discussion each time.

(Note: Student Council who do not cooperate will have points deducted from their class's evaluation score.)

4. The discussion content is entirely determined by the group's autonomy.

5. Regarding the answer section, the school will accept answers related to "VIP" status between 9:30 pm and 10 pm on the evening of the exam.

The competition is open to all, with each person allowed only one chance to answer. The exam ends immediately after each person has answered all the questions.

6. The school only accepts answers submitted by students using their own mobile phones to send emails to the designated mailbox.

7. "VIP" are not entitled to send answers by email.

8. Answers from groups other than the one to which you belong will be considered invalid.

9. The school will notify all students of the detailed exam results via email at 11 p. m. on the last day.

The exam rules are written very clearly and in great detail, taking into account almost every aspect.

As long as you're not stupid and have a sound mind, you can generally understand it.

The results are also written below.

Result 1:

Aside from the VIP within the group and their classmates in the VIP class, if everyone answers correctly, the school will pay all group members 500,000 Private Points. (Classmates in the VIP class will each receive the same number of points, and the VIP member will receive double the points.)

Result 2:

Apart from the VIP and their VIP, if any member of the group fails to answer or answers incorrectly, the school will only pay the VIP 500,000 Private Points.

"Five hundred thousand!"

At this moment, Karuizawa covered her mouth, but still couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Hachiman gave her a share of the Class B benefits of 12,000 yen per month, but the total amount over the past three years was only about 400,000 yen. So, if she is selected as VIP in this exam, will she get 500,000 yen for free?

Chapter 148 Chiaki Matsushita is giving up

500,000! Or even 1 million!

"If you have any questions, you can ask me. And this time I can answer them."

Looking at the students' expressions, Tomoya Majima said calmly, "My task is to make sure you understand the rules."

"Teacher, these two results."

And very quickly, someone asked for advice.

Teruhiko Shinmura took a deep breath and pushed up his glasses. "The first result is that everyone guesses the identity of the VIP correctly. In this case, everyone in the group will get 500,000 points, while the VIP himself will get 1 million points."

In the second scenario, if any member of the group fails to guess the identity of the VIP, then regardless of how many people guess correctly, the result is invalid, and only the VIP receives 500,000 points. Furthermore, the VIP cannot answer any questions. Is this correct?

"That's right."

Tomoya Majima glanced at him in surprise. Although Class C's current grades were excellent, they had been promoted from Class D. So he had actually considered that it might be quite troublesome to help them understand the exam rules.

So.

It's a relief that Class C can actually understand the exam rules on their own. He then nodded generously, "That's basically it."

"Then I have no further questions."

Teruhiko Shinmura nodded; he basically understood how the rules worked.

The first option is undoubtedly the best: everyone should work together to get rich.

The second type, where only the VIP benefits, seems completely incomparable to the first.

If I had to put it simply, regardless of the outcome, the VIP will receive 500,000 more points than the others.

"VIP VIP" is such a great name. You get paid for nothing if you're chosen.

"What are the other two possible outcomes?"

But Karuizawa asked instinctively.

There are only two possible outcomes on the paper.

"On the back."

Tomoya Majima said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Hachiman turned the paper over.

I glanced at the time; there were less than five minutes left.

Just in case, Hachiman took a picture of the back of the paper before finally reading the rules on it with satisfaction.

"..." Tomoya Majima.

Result 3:

If someone other than VIP provides the correct answer to the school before the exam ends, the class to which that student belongs will receive fifty class evaluation points.

The school will also pay 500,000 Private Points to those who answer correctly.

Conversely, classes VIP treatment is discovered will be penalized by deducting 50 points from their class evaluation score.

Once a student answers a question, the group exam ends at that point. Furthermore, if a student in the same class as VIP answers correctly, the school will consider that answer invalid and continue the exam.

Result 4:

If anyone other than a student VIP reveals their answers to the school before the exam is over, and provides incorrect answers, the class to which that student belongs will be penalized by losing 50 points in their class evaluation score.

In addition to receiving 500,000 Private Points, the class to which the VIP will also receive 50 class evaluation points.

The exam will end when the incorrect answer is made. Furthermore, if a classmate of a student receiving VIP answers incorrectly, their answer will be considered invalid and will not be processed.

"Quick answer and traitor?"

Hachiman lowered his head and pondered for two seconds, lost in thought.

No wonder.

The theme of this exam is "Thinking".

This is clearly an alternative version of Werewolf.

The rules are also very clear.

Here's the summary.

1. The school will send another text message to students at 8:00 AM tomorrow to announce whether a student has been selected as VIP.

The VIP here are one student randomly selected from each of the 12 groups to become a special individual.

It's somewhat like an undercover game, where members of the same group try to find the person receiving VIP in order to receive a reward or punishment.

Finding this undercover agent here is also quite interesting.

Follow the exam rules and answer the questions honestly between 8 PM and 9 PM on the third day.

There will be two possible outcomes.

If everyone in the group answers correctly, excluding the VIP and VIP class, and all others answer correctly, then each person will receive 500,000 points, while the VIP will receive 1,000,000 points. (500,000 points per VIP of the group, 1,000,000 points VIP)

This is one point.

Secondly, if anyone answers incorrectly, or if not everyone answers together, only the VIP will receive 500,000 points.

This is an honest answer in accordance with the rules.

It will not involve any increase or decrease in class evaluation scores. However...

You can also answer questions quickly.

The exam will last for three days.

You can answer at any time during the three days. However, answering before the questioner can either deduct or add points.

First, there's a point system for correctly answering a question. If another class guesses the VIP correctly during this period, that student receives 500,000 points and also gains 50 points for their class's evaluation score. Meanwhile, the class whose VIP is guessed loses 50 points. (Correct answer: Class +50 points, Individual 500,000 points, VIP's class -50 points)
