Shirobako Really Has No Patience! (Continued)

"This map of the Uninhabited Island is divided into 100 areas with 10 horizontal and 10 vertical coordinates."

"Majima-sensei continued."

"As you know, the rankings will be based on the group's scores."

"And there are two ways you can score points."

"One of the points is that, following the school's instructions, you can get points by arriving at one of these one hundred areas within a limited time."

"A point is awarded when one member of the group arrives."

"I will be instructed to move four times a day."

"It should be noted that you only need to move 3 times on the first and last days."

"At the same time, of the four regions each day, three regions follow a pattern, while the remaining one is random."

"Points will be deducted for failing to arrive three times in a row."

"There are time restrictions for the four arrivals in the corresponding areas. They are 7-9 am, 9-11 am, a 2-hour lunch break, 1-3 pm, and 3-5 pm."

At that moment, Majima-sensei took out a bracelet.

"Everyone's initial equipment consists of a tablet and a wristband to ensure your safety. You are already familiar with the tablet, while the wristband has a built-in GPS that can effectively determine your location."

"It is important to note that in addition to the built-in GPS, the wristband also has an emergency rescue button. If you feel unwell and cannot continue the exam, or if you encounter a life-threatening situation, press the button immediately."

"School staff and a medical team will arrive within 30 minutes."

"The wristband also has the function of recording your scores and displaying your schedule."

"It should be noted that, in order to prevent cheating, exchanging watches and disassembling watches are prohibited."

"If the bracelet malfunctions, it needs to be returned to the starting point within 24 hours for replacement."

Majima-sensei added, "As for the tablets, you can view maps, check grades, and receive instructions from the school. Starting at midnight on the sixth day, the GPS function will also be enabled. You can check the location of all students by paying for supplies."

"Speaking of these resource points..."

Majima-sensei paused for a moment. "Each student's tablet will receive 5,000 resource points in ten minutes."

"Before disembarking, you can go to the staff to exchange for the basic supplies needed for the 14-day exam on the island."

"However, please note that resource points are limited, so please carefully decide what items to bring."

"Of course, you can also choose to make your selections once you arrive on the island, but the supplies sold at the departure point on the island will be twice as expensive as those on the ship."

He continued his story after saying that.

Upon hearing this, Hachiman and Sakayanagi Arisu exchanged a knowing glance.

Previously at school, one of the transactions between Hachiman and Sakayanagi involved having Second-year Class A collect resource points, then using a tourist attraction-like approach, buying resources at low prices and reselling them at high prices.

And as it turned out, their speculation was correct.

At the same time, Majima-sensei would specifically point out to students how to use resource points, explaining that in the end, resource points would definitely not be enough.

This gave Sakayanagi and his group the opportunity to collect money and sell supplies at high prices.

For students taking the exam, resource points are very important and need to be used carefully, but if Private Points are used, then they are not important.

Some students do have a solid foundation.

You can make purchases.

"Of course, if simply following instructions to go to the designated area guarantees a point, then students with weaker physical abilities have no chance of winning."

"Therefore, the school provided a second scoring scenario."

"That is, the tasks that will appear randomly in 100 areas several times a day. You can complete the tasks to get points and replenish your resources."

That's what Majima-sensei said.

However, when Hachiman opened the map description of the Uninhabited Island, he found information in the notes on the topic below.

[Once a research topic is initiated, it will only cease when the topic is completed.]

In other words, once the required number of participants has been gathered, the project will begin, but it will not be displayed on the map.

So there might be people who rush over desperately, only to find that the project has already started.

So all I could do was watch from the sidelines.

But.

The research topic.

Hachiman looked at the electronic screen behind Majima-sensei.

More detailed instructions are available there.

The topic can appear at any time starting at 7:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM.

The project is divided into three categories: Academic Ability (40%), Physical Ability (30%), and other factors (30%).

3. The timing of the problem's emergence is unpredictable. To ascertain the implementation status, it is necessary to visit the site.

4. The top winners will receive points or ingredients, or a reward that increases the maximum number of people in their group.

5. Topics may be repeated, and even the same content may be asked multiple times.

Hachiman also looked at the examples given.

Topic 1: -- Mathematics Exam Classification: Academic Ability

Participation requirements: Register within sixty minutes of the topic being announced.

Number of participants: one person (only one person can register in a group).

The deadline is when ten people have logged in.

Victory condition: The students who gather within the specified time compete for the highest score.

(The exam content varies depending on the grade level, but the difficulty level is adjusted to be the same for all grades.)

Rewards: 5 points for first place, 3 points for second place, and 1 point for third place. The winner will also receive a day's worth of ingredients.

This is a fairly normal topic.

Of course, there were also some unexpected topics.

Topic 2: --Anime Quiz Category: Other

Participation requirements: Register within 30 minutes of the topic being announced.

Number of participants: Groups of three or more.

(For groups of four or more people, three of them may register to participate.)

The deadline is when six groups have logged in.

Victory condition: Answer 10 questions related to anime. The person who answers the most questions correctly wins.

Then, several example problems appeared on the electronic screen.

If the test involves physical fitness through four daily movement zones, and then moves on to topics that assess Academic Ability, physical condition, luck, and various knowledge reserves, then the core of this Uninhabited Island Exam should be... a competition of scores based on accumulated points.

After Majima-sensei finished explaining, he gave the students a few moments to understand the rules.

But.

Hachiman picked up his phone and glanced at it.

Because from the very beginning, people started calling him.

To be precise, it was Shiina asked for help.

I probably understood what she was trying to say.

If you listen carefully to the rules announced by Majima-sensei, you should be able to understand them.

However, it must be considered that some students in the class have not yet fully understood the exam rules, so someone needs to explain them to them.

This is also the weak point of Ryuen's class.

There are many people who can do the work, but there are even more who aren't very bright.

So they do this kind of thing on Hiyori as well.

Before each Special Exam, first clarify the exam rules yourself, then simplify them and tell your classmates.

There are many things to pay attention to in this exam, especially in terms of scoring. The use of the wristband and tablet, as well as the final question, all need to be simplified.

So she gets anxious doing this kind of work all by herself, and needs someone to help her.

But.

1352546x

Hachiman discovered that a number had also sent a similar message.

Hachiman knew the recipient of this message, although he hadn't added the other person as a friend, he had met Hachiman.

That's the number of Yukimura.

[We got separated from the students in the class, and I didn't bring my tablet, so I only had my phone.] by Yukimura.

[Hachiman, could you please help me compile a simplified list of exam rules?]

"..."

Hey, I'm not even your classmate anymore, do you still want him to do this kind of thing?

[After explaining the rules, there will definitely be some time left, so we will gather the class together later to briefly explain the rules again.]

[And you also have reliable friends by your side; both Hirata and Hirata are trustworthy.]

Hachiman quickly typed a reply.

This can be considered the last bit of warmth from the original students of Class D.

"Now, please let Acting Chairman Tsukishiro." At this moment, Majima-sensei called up a school leader.

Generally speaking, this school is student-run. Students have a great deal of freedom.

School leaders and such figures are basically never even present.

So the fact that they specifically called the school leaders up here is quite intriguing.

With a smile, the Acting Chairman Tsukishiro walked onto the podium.

"I am the chief examiner for this exam, and Acting Chairman Tsukishiro."

"This exam, along with the partner written exam that the first and second year students just finished, was also written by me."

"I hope to see a more energetic side of the students."

"So."

"I will give some limited permission for this exam."

"After all, once you enter society, you'll find that many of your opponents don't play by the rules," Tsukishiro said.

Then a patch was provided.

That is, Tsukishiro believes that the longer one stays on Uninhabited Island, the more setbacks one will naturally accumulate.

Therefore, he felt that students might sometimes have minor conflicts due to insufficient ingredients or water.

On this point, he holds a degree of agreement.

In other words, this Acting Chairman actually agreed to small-scale fighting.

"Good!"

Hōsen, a student in First-year Class D, clenched his fist excitedly, eager to do something.

"..." Ryuen.

In the area of Second Year Class D.

Ryuen and Ishizaki stayed together.
