A Generous Yet Strictly Regulated Exam-He's Panicking! (Continued)

It has no positive effect.

Yukino thought to herself.

Thus, all the first-year students have arrived.

For the second grade, the students were also arranged according to their class order.

This time, there was no need to give way to Ryuen, so Hachiman stood at the head of the line of boys in Second Year Class D.

After all, he is now responsible for this class.

As agreed, he would receive 70% of the class evaluation score after the class score exceeded 500 points.

So his job was to get a lot of points in the exam.

Although I don't have much hope for it.

Because Tsukishiro was very clear about the budget, and he also contributed a large portion of it.

Therefore, Tsukishiro is unlikely to allocate too many points; the budget would be around ten million.

And class rating scores...

Um.

There probably aren't many of these.

After all, the school also has to pay students' living expenses, which are based on class evaluation scores. Therefore, giving students too many points would only deplete Tsukishiro's budget.

Therefore, Hachiman felt that this time, the score would not exceed 100 points at most.

So, given such a stingy budget and such a low amount of money, what kind of test questions will you Acting Chairman Tsukishiro, set?

"First of all, don't be nervous. This Special Exam is optional."

This time, the teacher in charge of the explanation was not Majima-sensei, who was in the second year, but the homeroom teacher of Class A, First Year.

She is a female teacher named Asahi.

He was in his thirties, wore glasses, and looked somewhat intellectual.

The female teacher immediately reassured some students who felt immense pressure about suddenly having to take an exam again.

"This special test is called Treasure Hunt Game. As the name suggests, it is meant to help you find the treasure by following the rules."

"There is only one condition for participation: you can participate by paying 15,000 Private Points as a participation fee."

The female teacher said, "This is an information session. After the session, you will have half an hour to think it over. Once the registration deadline has passed, there will be no going back."

However, there is also an option not to participate.

So the students weren't in a hurry.

It seems so.

"For a moment I thought it was Special Exam, but it couldn't be like that. It seems quite interesting to participate freely." Some people said something like that.

The registration fee of 15,000 points seems a bit expensive, but you can listen to the rules of the Treasure Hunt Game first.

The female teacher raised her right hand, with a square piece of paper between her thumb and forefinger.

It's about five centimeters on each side. There's a two-dimensional barcode printed on that piece of paper.

"We had previously placed a total of 425 stickers with this QR code printed on them throughout the ship."

"Participants who choose to participate in the Treasure Hunt Game need to find these stickers within 3 hours of the start of the test."

"After scanning with a tablet, a question from a random question bank will pop up."

"You can choose to answer the question. You have 10 minutes to answer. If you answer correctly within 10 minutes, a reward will pop up."

"Participants can choose to accept or refuse, and a participant's tablet can scan the QR code a maximum of 4 times."

The female teacher found that after she said that, the morale of some students dropped significantly.

I immediately realized that some of these students were academically weak. It's too difficult to give them problems to solve.

So the female teacher added.

"Although this exam is based on the principle of 'the more capable, the more work one can do,' each participant can only receive a QR code once."

"But we have also prepared extremely generous rewards."

"Because out of the 425 stickers we have this time, 10 of them are worth 5 points in the class evaluation score, and 5 of them are worth 10 points in the class evaluation score."

"Then there are 50 bonus cards that are valid for all subjects and will add 5 points to your written exam score."

"The reward of 50 cards is an additional 10 points to the written test score applicable to all subjects."

Oh, oh, oh.

"Um, teacher!"

At that moment, a student from First Year Class C raised his hand.

It is impolite to interrupt the teacher's explanation at this time.

However, the questions she asked captivated the attention of most of the academically challenged students.

"Does this reward mean that I can get extra points on all written exams in the future?" The student who asked the question was a girl with brown hair who didn't seem very emotional.

However, if you look up OAA, you will find that the girl's name is Sakurako Tsubaki, and she is lagging behind in all aspects, even her Academic Ability is only C-.

They are in a rather dangerous situation.

So it's normal to be interested in things that can improve written test scores.

Those students who initially thought the Treasure Hunt Game was pointless because they had to pay money and answer questions immediately became enthusiastic again.

Most students in the second-year Horikita's class, for example, paid special attention to the reward of extra points on written tests.

And these are the students from Ryuen's class...

Um.

Hachiman noticed that the students behind him were also beginning to waver.

Because there are a lot of underachievers.

They definitely want a reward that will give them extra points on the written test.

From this perspective, even though Tsukishiro's budget is limited, he can still effectively attract students of all types.

And attracting so many students to participate means that...

Hachiman had an idea.

Tsukishiro's budget might only be 10 million, but it can still be made very beautiful. Because this Treasure Hunt Game has certain requirements.

So.

Tsukishiro is trying to lure people in. Once they enter, they have to pay an admission fee. If enough people enter, they can raise more money and make the exam look legitimate.

Really.

"Yes, your understanding is correct. For example, if you fail the written exam and are a few points short of the passing mark, you can get an extra 10 points for all subjects, so you will pass the exam and pass safely," the female teacher said.

"Then."

Noticing that the students' attention had focused and even their eyes had lit up, the female teacher in charge of the explanation added.

"Then there's the reward of individual Private Points."

"We have prepared 150 rewards of 10,000 Private Points each, 117 rewards of 30,000 Private Points each, 30 rewards of 100,000 Private Points each, 10 Private Points each, and 3 rewards of 1,000,000 points each."

The moment this statement was made, the entire room fell silent.

Is it because you can simply scan a QR code, answer a question correctly, and then receive money directly?

And you can get up to 1 million directly!

In this way.

The students, who were initially given the option to participate or not, are now almost entirely eager to attend.

"In addition, the scope of Matoba with QR codes has been determined in advance."

Seeing the excited students, the female teacher quickly continued to announce the rules.

"425 QR codes were posted in the library, McDonald's, and then in the open-air theater."

As she said this, the female teacher looked in the direction of the Acting Chairman Tsukishiro.

Clearly, he was also the chief examiner for this exam.

Tsukishiro then stepped forward and spoke.

"As the chief examiner, the previous Uninhabited Island Exam resulted in some losses due to my personal willfulness. This exam will continue to uphold the principle that it is unacceptable to forcibly take away other people's tablets, or to coerce or rob them. If such behavior is discovered, it will result in expulsion."

"I don't want anyone to get hurt because of violence anymore."

"Therefore, I specially planned this exam for you all."

Does anyone have any objections?

Any objections?

Of course I have no objections!

Because this is a chance to win a grand prize of 1 million points by paying only 15,000 points, or even get a bonus of 10 points in all subjects of the next written exam!

For both second and third graders, they experienced last year's All-School Sports Festival and knew that the bottom 10 students would have 10 points deducted from all subjects in their written exams.

How terrifying.

And now, getting +10 points at once is so tempting.

Tsukishiro maintained her smile, but looked in the direction of the second-year students.

As students of Class A in the second year, they instinctively straightened up when the chairman looked over. But unfortunately, Chairman Tsukishiro wasn't there to scrutinize them; instead, he was looking in the direction of Second-year Class C... no, Class D.

In that direction, a boy with light green-rimmed glasses was standing at the front of the line.

Ryuen and Albert stood behind him.

Then.

Everyone noticed that the boy in Second Year Class D, who wore green-rimmed glasses, raised his hand.

"Teacher, for this Treasure Hunt Game, each person can only receive one QR code, right?" Hachiman asked.

"Yes." Tsukishiro looked at him.

At the same time, I breathed a sigh of relief.

The fact that Hachiman raised his hand so prominently at this time suggests that he wasn't very interested in the exam.

Otherwise, they would just keep quiet and make a fortune.

"There are 425 QR codes corresponding to 425 questions. You can claim a reward after answering correctly. However, each person can only claim one reward. Also, each tablet can only scan 4 QR codes. After a QR code is scanned and a question appears, it needs to wait 10 minutes before it can be scanned again. If you answer the question correctly but do not claim the reward, the QR code will be scanned again and the question will reappear."

"And a QR code will become invalid once it has been answered and the reward claimed."

"The exam lasts for 3 hours. If any student has not finished answering the questions after 3 hours, they will receive 5,000 points as a consolation prize."

Chairman Tsukishiro's words became very rigorous.

It seems that the last incident dealt him a heavy blow, so he has begun to fully consider the exam questions in order to avoid being taken advantage of again.

Because his budget for this exam was 10 million, and he tricked students into joining, charging each person 15,000. If he could gather 400 people, he could add another 6 million to the budget.

So this is a $16 million opportunity to reward students for free.

Having gone to such lengths and done so much, there shouldn't be any more problems, right?

But.

Cheating is still possible in this exam.

"Hachiman was thinking."

Students were given only half an hour to decide whether to participate in the Treasure Hunt Game exam, and the process was simple: the school sent each student a message to their tablet with a button indicating whether they wanted to participate.

After confirming participation, a screen will pop up asking you to scan your phone to pay 15,000 Private Points.
