A Clash Between Geniuses! The Geniuses' Battle of Wits! 5k!

If you decide not to participate, you can simply leave without incurring any penalty points.

In other words, even if you take the exam and can't find the QR code or answer the questions, you'll still get a consolation prize, with a maximum loss of 10,000 points.

In this way.

Ultimately, only 10 students chose to leave.

90% of these students are relatively slow learners. They probably think they are not good at anything and that they definitely cannot solve the problems, so they may lose 10,000 points and choose to give up.

However, they didn't realize that while scanning the QR code displayed a question, they weren't required to solve it themselves.

And here, Hachiman.

"Hachiman Hikigaya."

Ryuen had already begun directing people to a corner to discuss their strategy.

Clearly, the Dragon Boy was swayed by this test.

However, it's unlikely that the reward would be based on the mere 100 points of class evaluation, nor would it be swayed by the millions of Private Points.

Rather... it's because this class is full of academically weak students.

Then Ryuen himself was also a poor student.

Ryuen has one spot for exemption from expulsion, which hasn't been used yet, and they also have over 20 million Private Points.

Therefore, he was exempted from expulsion twice.

But.

If you can get extra points on the written test, why waste a title or money?

So.

For this exam, the goal is to obtain multiple Private Points of over 500,000 as supplementary objectives. The real objective is to obtain the buffs of 50 points for all written exams and 50 points for all written exams.

"I'm handing over command this time to you," Hachiman said.

"Oh?" Ryuen was somewhat surprised.

Doing well on this exam will be somewhat rewarding, at least you can be sure of getting the written test score buff reward.

"I used my brain too much before," Hachiman said. "I want to rest for a bit."

The truth is that they discovered there were too many underachievers in the class, so they had to make some compromises. In the end, although they wouldn't lose money, they wouldn't gain much either, so Hachiman chose to step down.

"..." Ryuen remained silent.

"Then go and get close to Sakayanagi," Ryuen said. "You've already discovered the restrictions and cheating schemes in this written exam, haven't you?"

As expected of Ryuen.

The first thing they said was a cheating scheme.

"Each student can scan 4 QR codes."

"The questions will appear after scanning."

"The reward will only be shown if you answer correctly."

"And each person can only receive one."

"If you encounter a question that you can't answer, you can only watch helplessly."

"So," Ryuen said, "I want you to approach Sakayanagi and get her to answer the questions."

This solution was indeed the cheating method for this exam.

This was also a bug in this exam.

To see the reward, you need to answer correctly, so... answer correctly.

But who's so brilliant as to answer correctly? Just find a top student or genius.

Sakayanagi Arisu is already a recognized genius.

Last month, she achieved an incredible perfect score on the written exam, the only one in the entire grade to do so. Keep in mind, that was material far beyond the university curriculum!

This is why everyone in Ryuen approves of her.

Then, if a top student is available, someone can be assigned to scan the QR code, take a picture of the question, and then answer it. This way, it can be immediately confirmed whether the QR code is worth claiming.

Because there are a total of 425 cards.

Only 158 of them are truly valuable; the rest are just filler or worthless pieces.

But.

Hachiman shook his head. "She'll definitely want a 55/50 split."

"They even want to make a profit."

"So doing this will result in a loss for our class. It's not worthwhile to cooperate with Sakayanagi," Hachiman said.

"She and you are also a 50/50?" Ryuen said. "She's a 50/50 with you?"

At that moment, even the adorable silver-haired Hiyori looked over.

Hey, hey, hey.

What kind of looks are those? It's like you're making it sound like Classmate Sakayanagi has a special fondness for him.

"That's just how Classmate Sakayanagi does business," Hachiman said righteously. "Even I can't sway her."

"..."X2

Ryuen and Hiyori looked at him with disbelief.

But very quickly.

With this path blocked, Ryuen came up with a new plan.

"Then let's team up with Ichinose's class," Ryuen said.

Hearing Ryuen say that, Hachiman breathed a sigh of relief.

Because this is the solution he wants to promote.

"Class Ichinose, huh? I think that's a good idea." Hachiman had no objection to the suggestion.

Ryuen seems to be bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

I think Class Ichinose is easy to manage and requires less.

Hachiman, on the other hand, learned that after the Uninhabited Island Exam, Archangel Ichinose's class had dropped again.

Tsukishiro said he would resign and leave the month after next.

But he always felt that this person would definitely do something big before leaving. If there was another forced withdrawal exam, Class Ichinose didn't have much savings, and they might have to send it to someone else.

Hachiman only lends money to people he sees as having potential, or to his future spouse.

Rather than simply being the Virgin Mary.

So.

Ichinose, it's time for you all to grow up. If you don't want your classmates to drop out, then you need to focus more on making money and develop into a class like Manabu Horikita's.

Chapter 59 This is a battle of geniuses! A battle of wits among geniuses! 5k!

The students only had half an hour to choose, and all the students in the Ryuen class had already chosen to participate in the Treasure Hunt Game and were waiting for further instructions.

After all.

In this class, according to the Academic Ability evaluation, only 5 students have a grade of B- or above, while only Shiina has Academic Ability of A.

Most students are in the C or D Academic Ability range.

Judging from the pairing assignments in last month's written test, Ryuen tricked and defrauded 25 first-year students into forming a team for the sake of the underachieving students in the class.

Therefore, approximately 20-25 students in the class need to obtain +10 or +5 points in all subjects during this Treasure Hunt Game.

The number of people is large.

It is also closely related to oneself.

It needs to be integrated.

In this way.

The students from Ryuen's class walked to the side.

Then Ishizaki came running back, panting, with two students following behind him.

One man and one woman.

Kanzaki and Ichinose.

Actually, this was the first time Hachiman had met Ichinose on the ship.

"Hachiman." Ichinose seemed somewhat surprised.

"Yes, Ichinose."

The two sides greeted each other.

"..." Ryuen. "Stop flirting, come over and discuss the direction of cooperation. Time waits for no one."

"..." Ichinose.

Ichinose blushed instantly, while Kanzaki kept his eyes straight ahead. As the vice-class representative of Class Ichinose, he knew Ichinose quite well and was aware that Ichinose was greatly influenced by Hachiman.

During last year's Ichinose rumor incident, Hachiman even joined their class group.

Although he later left the group.

However, it's obvious to anyone with a discerning eye that Ichinose and Hachiman seem to be getting along better.

Occasionally, classmates would witness Ichinose visiting Hachiman's room on weekends.

Therefore, some of the classmates are speculating whether the two are already dating.

However, Kanzaki felt that it was better to focus on class competitions while studying.

However, if Ichinose could Hachiman to their class, it would actually be a very advantageous thing.

Rather, this time, the Uninhabited Island Exam once again saw Hachiman Hikigaya's active presence.

If they can gather enough points to buy the other party, then the 500 class evaluation points that Hachiman Hikigaya brought in will be their class's reward.

In the end, they got nothing.

"This exam." Despite being teased, Hachiman President Sakayanagi.

They were able to remain completely unfazed.

He said, "I suggest that our class form an alliance with your class to deal with this together."

"As everyone knows, the reward is only 100 points in the class evaluation. It doesn't seem like much."

"But we can still look forward to Private Points, and Ichinose, your class doesn't have many points right now, does it?"

Hachiman Hikigaya that.

Kanzaki can answer that.

The class currently only has 4 million Private Points that they've just accumulated. If another withdrawal exam requires 20 million, the class probably won't be able to hold on.

"..."

Shiina, however, watched Ichinose and Hachiman with interest.

She was friends with both of them.

Then I'm also curious about their progress, and... who exactly is Hachiman's soulmate... or is it someone like the one she met before... anyone who meets the criteria to take care of him is fine.

That would be too pessimistic, Hachiman.

Yes.

Shiina actually hopes to fall in love before getting married, which is the opposite of Hachiman's philosophy.
