Tied Expulsions? Hmph, Obviously I'm the One in the Most Danger!
"And the last place will have 20,000 points deducted from their personal score, and their class evaluation score will also be reduced by five times the number of students in that group." She paused.
"The leader of the last-ranked group will be expelled from school, and his class will have 300 points deducted from the class evaluation score."
Hiss.
Such punishment made the students gasp.
Judging from the rewards just now, everyone wants to be in charge. If you get in the top three, the reward will be doubled, while the punishment for the bottom three will not be doubled. However, if you are in last place, you're doomed!
Because it involves the possibility of dropping out of school, some students are already seriously trying to understand the exam rules.
Didi.
At that moment, Hachiman discovered that his phone had received a message.
It was sent by Sakayanagi.
[I passed this exam.]
Chapter 002 Forced Expulsion? Hmph, you can tell I'm the most dangerous!
[I passed this exam.]
Seeing this message out of the blue might be hard to understand, since she came here to take an exam, so why does she need to pass?
But Hachiman knew that this meant she wanted to find an exam to compete against him.
This exam was not a good opportunity for either of them to demonstrate their abilities.
Because.
He truly deserves to be called the real boss of the original Class A.
Sakayanagi Arisu immediately saw through the true nature of this Training Camp Exam.
This is a test for third graders.
Each grade needs to be divided into six groups of boys and six groups of girls.
Then they team up with other grades.
In the previous Sports Festival, the Red team lost because Nagumo betrayed them, manipulating his second-year students and adjusting the scores.
This kind of exam, which involves the entire grade again, cannot be decided by a single class.
Therefore, the initiative does not lie with the first graders, but with the second graders. The second grade consists of four classes, and the second-grade students are distributed among six large groups and six small groups. This gives Nagumo a much wider range of options.
Having seen through this, Sakayanagi immediately sent a message.
This exam will not be a battle.
Hachiman even believed that she would not only refuse to fight, but would also slack off in this exam.
Of course, this doesn't mean that second graders are necessarily very strong. In fact, the opposite is true. Second graders have the fewest students, so they are the grade that can get the fewest points in this exam.
But.
Don't forget.
But what if the second-year students all abstain?
Therefore, unless the first-year students unite, this battle is impossible to win.
But the cost of uniting is too high. There's no need to take that risk.
Therefore, it is best to remain quiet and in a safe area.
At the same time.
Hachiman doesn't believe this exam is specifically designed for first-year students, because it's more like a strategy to teach people how to manage and bribe others.
This is too difficult for first graders.
In other words, this might be a test for third graders.
The specific reason is...
The third-year students are graduating this semester.
This time, the Forest School will host an eight-day, seven-night cross-grade group activity. It's an event that surpasses even All-School Sports Festival.
In other words, students from different grades will live together.
"That means this time, I can compete against students from other grades in the exam."
"Ryuen, didn't you say before that it was pointless to fight against people in the same grade? Now you can directly compete with someone of the Student Council President's level."
The same explanation also appeared on the bus of Class D.
Upon hearing Sakagami Digital-sensei's words, Ishizaki, sitting next to Ryuen, immediately spoke up.
"..." But Ryuen just closed his eyes and remained silent, not saying a word.
This made the atmosphere in Class D quite depressed.
Because Ryuen was their leader, but after this leader gave up, the whole class immediately became listless. Although they followed the school's exam rules and regulations in an ordinary way, they always felt that they hadn't achieved that kind of huge reward that could be obtained even if they were considered trash.
Moreover, in the last written test, because Ryuen stopped helping, Shiina proposed to negotiate with Ichinose's class.
However, Shiina only received 600,000 points per month, which translates to 15,000 points per person when divided equally.
However, Shiina borrowed 1 million yen as living expenses for the month before last.
This month, which means yesterday, because the class evaluation score was still 0, everyone only received 15,000 yen per person as living expenses from Class Ichinose.
Therefore, there is still no chance to repay the 1 million yuan debt.
In other words, they are burdened with debt.
Meanwhile, it has been learned that due to Kinoshita's operational errors at the Sports Festival, Ryuen owes Hachiman Hikigaya 8 million yen in debt.
However, Ryuen did not allow them to share the burden at all.
At the same time, he also gave the 1 million points he borrowed from Sakayanagi to the injured Kinoshita.
This sense of responsibility is truly touching.
So now they've encountered a new test, and they miss Ryuen. Although it was fierce and collected protection money every month, there's no denying that Ryuen would take on all the responsibilities.
Even when faced with this exam, they didn't know what to do.
The exam rules are as follows.
The event lasted for eight days and seven nights.
Upon arrival at the destination, students were immediately separated into six groups of boys and six groups of girls. Each group then received instruction and training in moral character, discipline, and independence.
The grouping here is quite unique. Each group must contain students from at least two classes of the same grade, forming a team of 10-15 people. At the same time, the consent of all students in the group is required. If even one person disagrees with forming a team, then the team is invalid. Teams formed under these circumstances are then merged with groups from the second and third grades.
In other words, you can directly interact with upperclassmen, and... you also have the opportunity to fight them.
Ryuen had complained about how boring the school was after enrolling, and was disappointed that he couldn't compete with the older students. Now, isn't this his chance?
"..."
But Ryuen remained silent.
It seems this tyrant has truly lost his motivation.
"Eh—" Kaneda, the strategist of Class D and Kaneda former spy who infiltrated Class B, sighed. "Anyway, I'll be in charge of this exam."
Although he was the strategist, he could often only offer simple and practical advice. In other words, he could only let Class D perform to its full potential, and could not use special methods to target Class A or attack Class B.
This is a bit of a stretch, but Class D has no other choice.
"Shiina, what do you think?" However, Kaneda didn't rule out any possibility of a definitive answer.
In terms of using his brain, he is actually not as good as Shiina.
"Me?"
Shiina was actually looking at the exam rules as well.
Then he raised his hand and said.
"Now let's confirm the list of students who are withdrawing from school that we need to prepare," Shiina said.
"Either try your best not to become the group leader for men number 6 and women number 6."
"Either we prepare by assigning students from our class to be the group leaders for the 6 boys and 6 girls groups."
"There will definitely be a last-place finisher in the exam, because all the students in our class are group leaders, so one of our classmates will have to drop out," Shiina said.
???
But her classmates looked at her in surprise.
Because it's certain that someone in their class will drop out.
"Can't we shirk our responsibilities?"
Although I don't fully understand the exam rules, I do know that the person who ranks last in the group and becomes the leader of the group will be expelled from school.
So even if you end up in the last group, you're safe as long as you're not in charge, right?
"This isn't something you can just refuse to be in charge of. If no one is willing to take the risk, we might end up assigning three students from each class to be in charge."
"And even if you do that, you might still be unlucky enough to be assigned to the last group."
"Then they'll still get expelled," Hiyori Shiina said. "So it's better to just confirm that someone in our class is dropping out."
"Moreover, our class has an advantage. Because our class evaluation score is 0, even if we deduct 300, it will still be 0."
"So other classes might be willing to pay us to be in charge."
"If they can offer 5 or 10 million yen, I think it's reasonable to arrange for our students to drop out. After all, we're still in debt," Shiina said. "So, as for the list, I recommend starting with the weakest overall students and selecting 12 people."
"And to those unlucky enough to end up in the last group, don't worry. We've been starving all semester, and the chances of us getting promoted to Class A are very slim."
"So the days ahead may not be easy either. I suggest you take the 3 million yen that the class will give you as compensation and leave the class," Shiina said.
These words made Kaneda push up his glasses.
The other students were also shocked.
Because.
Wow!
Shiina, you are beautiful and elegant, but you abandon your classmates without hesitation.
People feel completely insecure.
Kaneda to be moderate, while Shiina chose to sacrifice her companion.
Then someone immediately looked at Ryuen, who was resting with his eyes closed, because although he would also choose to extract points, Ryuen would not choose to let his classmates drop out of school.
Ryuen is currently resting with his eyes closed.
Ryuen is supposed to be moving, but it's not moving at all right now.
In this way.
Even though the exams haven't started yet, Class D is already in deep trouble.
Now let's return to Class B, which has a similar setup to Class D.
Horikita's class.
"Just like the rewards for the top three, the punishment for the bottom three is severe," said Chabashira-sensei. "The leaders of all the groups in the last-place group will be expelled, and their class will have 300 points deducted from their class evaluation score."
Hiss.
Such punishment made the students gasp.
Judging from the rewards just now, everyone wants to be in charge. If you get in the top three, the reward will be doubled, while the punishment for the bottom three will not be doubled. However, if you are in last place, you're doomed.
The current score for Class B is 1291.
