Chapter 401

This project, which seems to be something that most people have to participate in, can actually be described as a stage for one person to perform.

If all the projects you choose are mentally demanding.

It would indeed be terrible to replace the leader with someone who isn't very capable; it could even harm the class.

But.

Hachiman stared at the computer on the table, and then at the headphones on the side.

"Can't we just transmit the voice directly to the player?" Hachiman asked. "I think voice transmission is more convenient."

"That's generally true."

Although Hoshinomiya-sensei also felt that voice communication was faster, there was also the problem of slow typing speed in the command tower during the exam, so voice communication would be more convenient.

As for the voice error...

The students' accents were fine.

But Hoshinomiya-sensei said, "That's how it is according to the rules."

"These are the rules set by the examiner, and we can only follow them."

Oh.

Hachiman nodded.

It seems there's no mistake; the Acting Chairman Tsukishiro will once again be the chief examiner for this exam.

So even if the other party is outside of school, it's still possible for them to give some instructions on the day of the exam.

So let's have Kiyotaka Ayanokoji take the stage as the sacrifice for this exam.

In this way.

Class C has decided to face off against Class B.

After leaving the command tower classroom, Hachiman returned to his class and told the students, who had been distracted during the lesson, the answers.

"Ahhh—"

"So that's how it is—what are we going to do? Those guys in Class B —weren't they originally from Class A?"

"I already knew they would definitely give a ton of exam papers!"

"However, we have a few top students in our class, so don't panic—"

"That's not necessarily true, because what if the other party requires several students or even a dozen students to participate in their various written tests together?"

That would be dangerous!

According to the exam rules, the proposed projects can be participated in by one person or a large number of people, as long as no more than 20 people participate in one session.

Class B is proud of its decent basic facilities, but if it's a competition of academic elites, then Class C has a few academic elites who can compete.

However, what if the other side's exam is a joint exam with 5 people scoring 10 points?

Then we'll have to send it to Class C.

"Class B is so difficult to deal with—"

Meanwhile, Yukimura, a rare conscience and academic star in the class, frowned.

Because their discussion yesterday was overheard by Class B, the news they received today was that their class had indeed been matched up against Class B in the draw.

Then if the other side really puts on a written exam with a large number of participants, then the class will inevitably lose.

This is putting immense pressure on me.

Would you like some water?

When Hachiman returned to his seat, he discovered that his Horikita, who sat next to him, was actually being very attentive to him.

This surprised Hachiman.

This made him subconsciously touch Horikita's forehead with his hand.

It was immediately apparent that Horikita's forehead was not hot.

"... I'm not sick."

Suzune Horikita didn't see things that looked intimate to others.

She intuitively believed that this was the reason why Hachiman Hikigaya was checking her physical condition.

At the same time.

Suzune Horikita finally understood that Hachiman thought her current behavior was too excited.

"I was wondering if you have any other ideas regarding this exam?" she quickly asked.

Um.

Hachiman began to try to decipher her meaning.

I understand.

What other ideas are you using? Actually, what you really want to know is how you want to make money during this exam, right?

It's probably because her brother is about to graduate, and Suzune Horikita's total assets are only a little over 3 million, and the class is beyond saving, so she actually thought about collecting 20 million points to go solo.

And.

This was probably the last exam before her brother graduated, so she was getting a little anxious.

This means that Suzune Horikita is currently providing full support.

In that case, it wouldn't hurt to use her.

"I do have some ideas," Hachiman said. "But let's finish today's work first."

In this way.

During lunch break, all the classmates were kept in the classroom.

"This exam is against a tough class, and it's a seven-game series."

"To win, you need to win four or more games, which seems difficult."

"Because the items drawn on the day of the final exam are entirely based on luck."

"Therefore, the goal is not to win, but to ensure that your side does not lose too many points."

Hachiman stood on the platform.

This time, they were much smarter.

The classroom doors and windows have been closed to prevent students from Class B from eavesdropping again.

The rest of the class was still in the classroom.

Suzune Horikita, on the other hand, filled in her class's project on the blackboard.

One-handed typing - Kikyo Kushida

Kyudo competition - Akito Miyake

100-meter sprint - Sudō

1000 meters - Kōenji

English Cloze Test - Meiyu Wang

"This is a must-win event for our class."

"I also hope that if I am selected, I will win. Of course, this is not to put pressure on you, but to hope that you can do your best. So take care of yourselves before the exam and practice as you need to to ensure that there will be no problems on the day of the exam."

"However, I will also arrange some students as substitutes."

"Because besides our project, which might be selected, the projects from Class B might also be selected."

"And Kiyotaka Ayanokoji will be the substitute," Hachiman said.

As they said this, the others looked at Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

I also remembered his high score in the Sports Festival.

Then it immediately dawned on me that Hachiman was using Kiyotaka Ayanokoji as a substitute for Sudō or Kōenji.

"Then, Yukimura, Hirata, Horikita, and Chiaki Matsushita- kun, we also need you as substitutes. However, this substitution is only for Class B when they draw an exam related to Academic Ability. You will be needed to take the exam."

"I have no problem," Yukimura said, adjusting his glasses.

He was already certain that Class B wouldn't give up their class's advantage, so they would definitely put out a bunch of written tests.

However, if the other party conducts the exams separately and then requires different numbers of people to take them.

Their class will definitely lose because they don't have enough top students.

However, if several top students take the same exam together, they might be able to win.

So I just hope that I'll draw fewer Class B projects in the final exam.

"I have no problem either," Hirata said.

After the Class Vote school ended, Hirata reverted to her usual self, like Hirata.

It was also Hirata's idea that the desks Yamauchi the classroom were not taken away.

The explanation is that he should remember that he instructed everyone to drop out of school because of a classmate, and all the guilt and anger should be vented on him.

This makes some people feel that it's going too far to remember Hirata's past and reject him in the present.

Because in his heart, he was not wrong.

Moreover, he is now burdened by the negative emotions people feel about dropping out of Yamauchi.

So these people continued to be Hirata.

Of course, some people chickened out.

I find Hirata's past terrifying. Although he has become more docile now, who knows when he might erupt again? And since Hirata can sacrifice Yamauchi, will he sacrifice them in the future?

Therefore, Hirata's popularity has declined somewhat.

"I have no objection." As the top student in the class, Suzune Horikita naturally had no objection.

"Matsushita, it's you now—"

The other person whose name was called by Hachiman did not respond for a long time, and her friend quickly looked at her.

"Ah... uh... okay. I'll do my best too!" Chiaki Matsushita quickly replied.

She really wanted to say that her Academic Ability abilities were only average. So why was she chosen?

"If Class B were to have some sports events for girls, you would be the fastest runner in our class!" Karuizawa said.

Um.

After the Sports Festival ended, their class secured a place in Class A based on that competition.

This also includes her who, after leading by twenty or thirty meters, was treated as the last runner, and then ran desperately to ultimately secure third place.

At that time, she stopped hiding and let loose completely.

So everyone in the class thought she was the fastest runner in the class.

This made Matsushita shake his head.

She thought her friends were really naive. She felt that Hachiman wasn't just making her a backup option in sports, but rather that he saw through her and knew she was actually quite Academic Ability.

Hmm.

Why did I talk to Hachiman more during the VIP Exam?

If I hadn't communicated with him at the time, would I not have been arranged to participate in the competition?

Matsushita felt that the projects he would be involved in would definitely be crucial and require his full effort.

So her abilities... are about to be revealed again.

Hachiman is toxic, isn't he?

"Then we need to add five more items as smokescreens," Hachiman said at this point.

Very soon.
