The Teachers' Thoughts: The Past

Then.

After returning to school, the students gradually went back to their previous studies and work.

It's as if the wild heart has been completely brought back.

And July 1st.

All students went to the classroom to attend the class meeting.

Then.

For second-grade students.

On this day, a special message was announced.

That's the Special Exam for this month.

This exam seems to be the outgoing support for the acting chairman of the Acting Chairman Tsukishiro.

Then, as always, it was cruel.

If all students pass the exam, one student will be forced to withdraw from the school.

P. S.: Starting tomorrow, I should resume updating every two days.

Chapter 66 The Teachers' Thoughts, the Past

July 1st.

It was already eight o'clock.

The students were all gathered in their classrooms, waiting for their teachers to announce the Special Exam for the month.

The class evaluation scores have also been updated.

You can see it from the small blackboard on the first floor of the teaching building.

As a member of the Student Council, this data was updated by Hachiman.

Second-year Class A (Sakayanagi Class): 1830 points

Second Year Class B (Horikita's class): 1355.7 points

Second-year Class C (Class Ichinose): 1258.1 points

Second Year Class D (Ryuen Class): 825 points

All four classes achieved respectable class ranking scores. In particular, Class D has caught up again, which explains why Sakagami-sensei often feels ambitious, believing that his class also has a chance to challenge Class A.

However, judging from his serious expression after entering the classroom, this Special Exam might be different from the previous ones.

It is indeed quite different from before.

The teachers only received notification of the Special Exam last night. Then they went together to the Chairman's Office.

Because.

"I cannot condone this kind of exam."

The test that the teachers received was Unanimous Special Exam. The school would provide five questions, and if the students all agreed on them, the test would be passed. The questions that were passed would be used until graduation.

The fact that the questions that are passed will be executed already shows the importance of this exam.

There is only one reason why teachers would resist.

They had taken this test before, but it was two months before graduation.

It is far too early to release it to students now.

Moreover, some of the exam questions even caused psychological trauma to some of them.

"Times are changing, and as the chairman of the board, I am also analyzing the students' progress," said Acting Chairman Tsukishiro. "Moreover, after this Special Exam, I will be leaving this school."

In other words, this was the Acting Chairman Tsukishiro's willful act.

And the fact that the other party is leaving this month is indeed good news.

But.

If we follow this set of exam questions, then his class won't be able to get any extra points.

These are the thoughts of Sakagami Digital-sensei.

"First of all, congratulations on achieving such results after the Uninhabited Island Exam."

Sakagami wrote the evaluation scores of the four classes on the blackboard.

Then they wrote the score of 825 for Class D in a very large font.

But.

"It's also a pity that after more than a month of rest, you will now have to take a new Special Exam."

"As second-year students, you should understand that Special Exam do come with the risk of making you more vigilant. You may lose class evaluation points or Private Points, and sometimes, students may even be expelled."

"But on the other hand, you could also say that you have gained more opportunities to have a more fulfilling campus life."

"Logically, the more Special Exam we hold, the more points our class can get. Aiming for Class A is no joke."

"But opportunities also come with risks and choices."

Sakagami Digital-sensei talked for a long time before finally getting to the exam questions.

"This time, the exam is called the Unanimous Special Exam."

Then the blackboard screen lit up.

In other words, we will need to provide supporting documentation later.

"The rules for this exam are relatively simple."

"That means you have to vote repeatedly in class until you reach a consensus from the multiple options."

"And the exam is tomorrow."

"Tomorrow's classes are cancelled. They were scheduled from 10 a. m. to 1 p. m., lasting three hours," said Sakagami-sensei.

"Tomorrow?... That's really sudden."

Sitting in a relatively forward position, Ryuen asked.

"Yes." Sakagami-sensei glanced at Ryuen and then nodded. "The school believes there's no need to spend time discussing it beforehand, and it's fine to hold it directly tomorrow."

If we take it literally, we can hold repeated votes in class until a unanimous result is reached.

Based on this explanation, it is indeed difficult to imagine anything complex.

But that depends on whether there are other rules, and what the prepared questions are.

And.

Sakagami-sensei has always been enthusiastic about Class A. Although today's performance resulted in a high class evaluation score, he didn't seem to have the same sense of taking the initiative when explaining this month's test questions.

In other words, Sakagami, who knows the exam rules, probably judges that Second Year Class D will not gain any advantage in this exam.

"Hachiman was thinking."

So he took the initiative to ask a question.

"So, this time it's not going to be a battle with other classes, right?" Eighth asked.

"That's right." Sakagami nodded. "This Special Exam can only be completed within our class, so there will be no competition with rival classes. After the exam begins on the day, the school will give you five [topics]. In addition, the content of the topics is the same for all classes, so there will be no difference."

These words silenced those who enjoyed thinking.

Ryuen, on the other hand, crossed his arms and hugged himself with some dissatisfaction.

Since the exam rules are announced today and the exam is tomorrow, there will be no time to prepare.

For someone like him who likes to use underhanded tactics, this is tantamount to being blacklisted.

"However, although this exam is simple, there are some restrictions."

Really.

New rules were quickly added.

There are three points.

1. The exam lasts for 3 hours. If the entire class completes Special Exam within 3 hours with identical answers (meaning all students have the same choices) and passes all 5 questions, then the class will receive a class evaluation score of 100 points.

2. If the exam is not completed within the allotted time, the class will have 300 points deducted from its class evaluation score.

3. It should be noted that exam questions that are unanimously approved by the entire class will be implemented before graduation. For example, if the entire class unanimously decides that a student worthy of praise will receive 1 million Private Points, then the school will deposit 1 million into that student's account.

"Isn't this great?"

As soon as these detailed rules were released, they immediately received positive feedback from a considerable number of students.

"However, if the entire audience unanimously decides that someone deserves criticism, and then deducts 1 million Private Points from that person, the school will deduct 1 million Private Points from that person's student ID," said Kaneda, who looked somewhat like an uncle from another world.

Ah, this.

Everyone quieted down again.

"So, teacher, since there's a time limit for the exam, how can the time be exceeded?" asked Hiyori Shiina and another strategist from Class D.

"Hmm." Sakagami nodded.

It seems that the atmosphere in the class improved after Hachiman Hikigaya transferred here.

Even Shiina, who didn't like to speak before, started to show herself.

"The exam process is as follows: the school will provide five questions, and you will need to vote. Only if the entire class votes in unison will you proceed to the next question."

"If there are disagreements, and one or more students have different answers from the others, then the vote is invalid, and a new vote will be held after ten minutes. Only if the whole class agrees will the next question be moved on. If no consensus can be reached, the question will remain unanswered. This can lead to situations where the exam time is exceeded and five questions cannot be completed," said Sakagami-sensei.

Meanwhile, Bafan took out a small notebook and began to take notes.

This process can be simplified.

Question - Class vote unanimously - Next question (Note: The school will enforce the implementation of all questions that pass).

Question - If the class votes are inconsistent - take a 10-minute break to discuss and persuade others - vote again; if consistent, move on to the next question; if inconsistent again, continue discussing. Continue until a consensus is reached. Failure to complete 5 questions within 3 hours will result in a deduction of 300 points from the class evaluation score.

In other words...

What we need to avoid in this exam is being unable to complete the questions.

At the same time, it's not hard to see from Sakagami-sensei's state that there will also be controversial questions in this exam.

And.

It's still the farewell test for Chairman Tsukishiro; the topic of this debate is probably quite cruel. 99% related to dropping out of school.

And that's what Ba Ban was thinking.

"Then there are two additional points: during the exam, students' communication devices will be confiscated, and they will not be allowed to sign any agreements stipulating which answers to submit; the choice of answers is entirely up to the individual," said Sakagami-sensei.

Then the time was given to the students.

Most of the students in Class D don't use their brains when they encounter exams.

There have always been only a handful of people who use their brains.

However, the fact that the exam is scheduled for tomorrow, and that they are forcibly preventing us from signing any agreements and confiscating our communication devices, suggests that the exam was meticulously planned or orchestrated beforehand.

If you can't prepare, then it's not the Dragon Boy's main battlefield.

Therefore, Ryuen remains quiet.

Since Ryuen remained silent, Hachiman stood up and spoke.

"According to the exam rules, no specific arrangements can be made, but the rules also state that if everyone's answers differ, there will be 10 minutes for discussion."

"The voting will continue after the 10-minute discussion."

"And given the situation in our class," Bafan paused for a moment, "We need to consider the worst-case scenario."
