First-Year Finals: Ryuuen's Class Finally Gets Its Moment in the Spotlight! 7k (continued)
So now we need to turn the tide.
In this way.
[Did the Command Tower change the answers given by their own players?]
[This command has been converted into speech.]
Sakayanagi's slender fingers tapped on the keyboard. She used the command tower's permissions to revise one of her team's answers and then transmitted the command to Kohei Katsuragi.
The answer is 87507602844.
On the field, Kohei Katsuragi seemed to have responded less than 10 seconds after receiving the order.
The answer is correct.
"Amazing!"
The other students watching the exam couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
They weren't good at mental arithmetic, but they understood how tricky the questions were, so they were able to solve them correctly. The students in Class B were indeed amazing.
So, Class B finally answered two questions correctly and tied one.
But.
The command tower on Class C's side remained completely still. As for this, C, who was watching the game, had nothing to say. No one in the class knew how to do mental arithmetic; at most, they would take out their phones and use them as calculators.
Since the command tower doesn't allow the use of calculators, one can only stay to the side.
After giving the instructions, Sakayanagi stopped moving.
Since she could only intervene in one question, she was essentially a useless commander and could no longer participate in the competition.
So all we can do is watch and wait in vain.
But.
"You've won this match," Hachiman congratulated her in advance.
Yes.
The next five questions weren't as difficult as the fifth one; they were all relatively simple. However, Katsuragi seemed to finally start to exert his strength, and he solved several questions in a row.
They ultimately achieved a complete victory.
Sakayanagi's class finally won a game.
"The match is over!"
Just as the third round of the duel between Class B and Class C ended, the reactions of two people caught the attention of Sakayanagi and Hachiman.
Because.
The exams for Class A and Class D have already ended.
Noticing this strange Matoba, Majima looked over.
"Are you sure you want to leave right here?" Majima-sensei asked.
"Yes." Ichinose and Hiyori nodded at the same time.
After the third exam ends, there will be 10 minutes of free time.
Hachiman looked over and noticed that Ichinose seemed to be somewhat agitated.
Shiina, on the other hand, spread her arms wide, looking helpless.
"Then please don't disturb others," said Majima-sensei.
Then I watched Ichinose and Shiina left.
"It seems something has happened," Classmate Sakayanagi said, watching the scene.
"Before the exam, the students in Ichinose's class were being watched by Ryuen's class," Hachiman said. "Ryuen arranged for Ibuki, Ishizaki and the others to follow the people in Class Ichinose, and Ichinose thought that Ryuen was going to use despicable methods again, so they were on guard against Ryuen and the others."
"But the exams can't continue now," Hachiman said. "Because all the students in Class Ichinose who were in the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh rounds are unable to participate due to diarrhea."
I see.
The enemy is at Honnoji Temple.
Sakayanagi Arisu immediately realized what was happening.
It seems that Ichinose is blind to what's right in front of her; she's only focused on defending Ryuen and hasn't realized that the enemy has infiltrated her own ranks.
"So, Hachiman going to give up too?" Sakayanagi Arisu asked.
The two classes have now completed three matches.
The next two tests are an English test and a math test.
Each session requires a minimum of 7 participants.
For Hachiman's class, they can only gather the top students together for one gamble, and then they have to give up on the other one.
"Let's give it a shot," Hachiman said. "After all, I put my heart into this exam."
"..." Sakayanagi did not respond to Hachiman's words at this moment.
Because Hachiman said he would show his strength and fight her.
However, Hachiman's current behavior gives her a subtle feeling. Is there something she has overlooked?
At this moment, the fourth round of the seven events began.
As the commander, Hachiman checked the information of the participating students.
The test was in English, and seven people were required to participate.
Class B is packed with top students, but Hachiman's side...
Originally, the backup options for the academic genius were Matsushita, Yukimura, Horikita, Hirata.
Yukimura and Matsushita were unable to continue participating because they had already participated in mental arithmetic.
That leaves Horikita and Meiyu Wang.
Meiyu Wang is only an English whiz, and not particularly outstanding in other areas, so if the math test is chosen, Meiyu Wang will not be of much use.
Then, since the sure-win project he prepared wasn't selected, Kushida is now free.
So.
In the end, Hachiman decided on the participants.
Hirata, Kushida, Horikita, Meiyu Wang, and three other students who were among the shortest in the class according to their Academic Ability ranking.
Soon.
The selected students were instructed to go to a separate classroom.
And they will be taking tests there.
The exam was an English test paper.
However, it does not include listening comprehension; it only includes multiple-choice questions, cloze tests, and reading comprehension.
This is for the convenience of accounting and modification.
Otherwise, if we add an essay, we'll have to carefully consider how many points to give, which could lead to arguments.
Even so.
"Exam over—"
"Class B wins the overall score." Majima-sensei went to the exam room and announced the results.
The winning criterion for this round is the total score of the participating students.
The total score of the 7 students in Sakayanagi Class was 588 points, while in Class C, there were only 4 top students. Although the remaining 3 students were also selected based on their scores, unfortunately, Class C's total score was only 452 points.
"It seems that our students are better," Sakayanagi Arisu said.
This means that Class B can get another 30 points in class evaluation from Class C.
At the same time.
Four rounds have already been played.
2 losses, 2 wins.
As the representative of Class B, Sakayanagi knew that the students in Class B should feel that everything was fine.
At the same time, she felt there was no need to intervene in this situation.
"Hmm." Hachiman nodded. Then, as the commander, he raised his hand, "Because Class C forfeited the fifth round."
"Well, Hachiman, you're really kind," Sakayanagi added as a comment.
Because it's currently First Year Class C.
We lost the English test!
The students in Class C returned to their classroom.
Kōenji, having completed his project, went to rest. Since he wouldn't be able to play again, and had already secured a victory for his class, he left easily.
But.
The other students stayed in the classroom.
Yukimura had previously participated in mental arithmetic, also returned.
"Looks like it's all my fault—"
Yukimura's spirits weren't very high.
He made a mistake in his judgment during mental arithmetic.
There were only two Student Council in Class B who could do mental arithmetic, that much was true, but he underestimated Katsuragi's abilities, and then he also underestimated Katsuragi. Katsuragi didn't dwell on personal feelings, but instead wholeheartedly helped his own class.
Then.
Because he and Matsushita, as a result, during the English test, there weren't enough top students, so they had to arrange for 3 students to fill the quota.
And there can only be one such outcome.
We lost.
The score is now 452 to 588.
We did lose.
"The next test is a math test." Chabashira-sensei arrived at the classroom.
In other words, we still need to select players to go there.
"The math test requires 7 participants."
"You should choose 7 people to go," said Chabashira-sensei.
"That--"
At this moment, Ike stood up and said, "Since the top students can no longer participate, there's no point in arranging for others to play this round, so let's forfeit."
Although these words came as abrupt, they reflected the sentiments of some students.
When Hachiman was initially looking at the Class B project, he said that only one group of top students would be arranged as backups to be ready to strike at any time.
Then, only students who were guaranteed to win in certain events were assigned to train on their own.
Therefore, most students were not assigned any tasks.
Who knew I'd have such bad luck today? I was randomly selected for all five projects in Class B, two of which were written tests.
The English test has already eliminated the remaining four top students.
Therefore, there were no top students in the following math tests.
Since these projects were not expected to be selected, the remaining contestants were arranged to choose according to their student ID numbers.
In other words...
Being selected means going to the exam hall, then not being able to answer the questions, and feeling so embarrassed that you want to dig your toes into the ground.
This can be seen from the Matoba the three girls whose mental arithmetic skills were completely useless.
