When Sakayanagi Loses Her Restraint, Of Course She Will! 10k

September 1st.

"Quiet!"

Sae Chabashira walked in, her high heels clicking crisply on the floor.

Her long, shapely figure, encased in black silk stockings as smooth as satin, instantly caught the eye of Hachiman had seen her in her maid outfit.

Although I know my homeroom teacher is a cool and aloof older woman, I can easily become more interested in her whenever I see photos that show a contrasting side of her.

"Although it's something to be happy about that you've been promoted to Class A,"

As a homeroom teacher at this school, I should be able to hold a class meeting every month.

Sae Chabashira set aside the lesson plan she was holding and said calmly, "However, I regret to inform you that the final exams will be held on the 24th of this month."

"Hey!"

The classroom of Class B —no, it should be said that Class A— was filled with screams and howls once again.

"Why is there another exam so soon?!"

"Can't we just rest for a bit?"

"And it's the final exams! I thought we were going to have a holiday!"

"Wouldn't that mean we're doomed?"

The four consecutive Special Exam gave them absolutely no time to catch their breath.

Although they also made a comeback by taking four exams and turning around from Class D to Class A.

However, they still instinctively feel fear when it comes to exams!

"Final exams? How could that be?"

Suzune Horikita's breath hitched, because this was so abnormal!

The school's schedule is very problematic.

First, school starts in May.

At the same time.

Special Exam held once a month.

It is now September.

According to the general school regulations, the school year starts in April and ends in July, followed by a holiday.

But their school doesn't have that.

Rather, when the Island Exam, it was already past the end of the semester for everyone else.

After that, even though it was already time for the holiday, the school never told them about the holiday.

Instead, Sports Festival was held next.

No holiday was granted immediately after the Sports Festival.

Now, they're telling them there will be a final exam?

This rhythm is off!

Are they deliberately making things difficult for us?

Suzune Horikita felt a chill run down her spine, her pretty face turning slightly cold.

She wasn't like this before.

But perhaps because she's spent so much time with Hachiman, she now subconsciously makes the worst-case scenario plan—because Hachiman has also said that Class D cannot be promoted to Class A.

The biggest reason is that the quality is not good enough. If the school actually sends them out, the school will lose its reputation.

Therefore, he boldly speculated that the school would not allow students from Class D to be promoted to Class A.

So logically, we should be on holiday, but we aren't, and now there are final exams.

Their goal was to make their class drop in the rankings.

Of course, it's also possible that Horikita is overthinking it; this school is inherently very different from the outside world.

So this is a side effect of Class Advancement.

"In addition."

After the noise subsided and the others, Sae Chabashira and the others spoke up, "This time, the final exam has new rules, and the exam papers will not be set by the school."

"Eh!!"

"The exam wasn't set by the school?"

"Wait, is it different from last time?"

Class A was thrown into an uproar once again.

Because they had the exam papers and the original questions from the previous midterm exams!

However, even under these circumstances, many people are still recklessly testing the limits of what is acceptable.

"It's not beautiful at all."

Kōenji placed his hands behind his head and closed his eyes.

In fact, the exam itself is not difficult.

Because the school's passing score is calculated as half of the average score.

In other words, as long as you can score 50 points, you will pass 100%.

Because it's impossible for everyone to be perfect.

But the Student Council in the class will find it difficult.

It's simply incomprehensible.

So even though he had been promoted to Class A, he felt no joy.

Because this Class A is a freebie, and it will continue to be a freebie in the future.

Besides, he didn't think the person who led Class D to Class A would be willing to put in the effort to maintain the status quo. See?

Hachiman is already sprawled on the table, completely wasting his time.

In other words, Hachiman is probably just to get the class into Class A in one go. Getting into Class A has already proven his strength, so the class's ranking after that is no longer important to him.

Even though he was the only student in the class who didn't have any problems, Kōenji was also spacing out like crazy at this moment.

"..."

Sae Chabashira fell silent again, crossing her arms and quietly watching the Class A members.

Then, after the classroom had calmed down again, she continued speaking.

"This exam will be conducted in pairs."

"Pair?"

Hirata Yosuke was slightly taken aback.

"That's right, a pairing."

Sae Chabashira nodded slightly and said, "In this exam, the paired partners will share the consequences of the exam. That is to say, if one of them withdraws from school, both of them will withdraw."

"There are eight subjects in this exam, with a total score of 100 points. Each subject has 50 questions, for a total of 100 questions."

"In addition, there are two passing scores for the exam. Each subject has a minimum passing score of 60 points. If either student fails to reach 60 points in any subject, they will face expulsion."

"How so!"

"60 points! This is killing me!"

"I think I'd better drop out of school myself; at least I can save face."

The students in Class A instantly felt utterly hopeless, especially those at the bottom, like Kanji Ike and Haruki Yamauchi, who were almost in tears.

Sixty points!

They didn't even get 40 points!

Sudō managed to improve somewhat during his earlier tutoring sessions, but a score of 60 was still beyond his reach.

"Don't be nervous."

Perhaps because he had fulfilled his long-cherished wish, Chabashira was in a good mood.

Now, Sae Chabashira's lips curled into a wicked smile. "The sixty points I mentioned are the combined score of both partners. Since dropping out of school is a risk that both parties share, then the exam results should naturally be shared as well."

"Teacher, I have a question."

Curious Hirata Yosuke raised his hand and stood up, saying, "If I pair up with Sudo, even if Sudō gets a zero, then as long as I get a sixty, there won't be a problem, right?"

"That's right."

Sae Chabashira nodded slightly.

And this made many people breathe a sigh of relief.

That means as long as everyone scores above 30, there won't be any problems.

There shouldn't be any major problems with this.

Even Kanji Ike and Haruki Yamauchi could score in the twenties.

So, if you're paired with someone who can score 40 points, you can also pass the exam.

"That's totally feasible!"

"There must be quite a few students in the class who can score 60 points, right?"

"Even if they don't score 60, can two people paired up still not get 60 points? Each person only needs to get 30 points!"

"Doesn't that mean there's absolutely no problem?"

While many underachieving students became excited, this also raised doubts among many other students.

Because.

Pairing them up like this actually lowers the average score requirement. Isn't that too much of a favor to them?

"Chabashira-sensei, what does the other passing grade mean?"

Suzune Horikita glanced at Hachiman, who was sitting next to her and slacking off, then raised her hand and asked calmly.

"These are the newly added expulsion criteria for this exam."

Sae Chabashira glanced at Horikita, knowing that Hachiman Hikigaya had already achieved his goal and would likely not put in any more effort.

But now Suzune Horikita is actually taking over.

Although she knew the class would definitely drop in rankings soon, she was still happy to see someone willing to turn the tide.

She continued, "In addition to the passing score of 60, there is also a passing score for the total score. Even if every subject score is above 60, if the total score is below the passing score, it will still be considered a failure. Both partners will face expulsion."

"Is the total score also the sum of both scores?"

Hirata Yosuke added.

"That's right, the total score is also the sum of the scores of both people."

"So, Chabashira-sensei, what is the passing score for the total grade?"

Kushida the little angel a soft, gentle voice.

"The specific standards have not yet been determined."

Sae Chabashira for a moment, then continued, "But the standard in previous years was 700 points."

"In previous years? So this isn't the first time?"

Horikita frowned slightly; she had initially thought the school was targeting them.

But now it seems to be a perfectly legitimate exam.

However, she always felt that something was wrong.

It felt like something was off.
