The Teachers' Thoughts: The Past (Continued)

"There are two points to pay attention to in this exam."

"One is that the questions that are unanimously approved by the entire audience will be implemented by the school. For example, if a student is given 1 million points, the school will directly transfer the money to that student."

"However, there is also the possibility of some negative impacts."

"Therefore, it is very necessary to think twice before acting."

"I propose that for each question, regardless of the number of options, students with odd-numbered student IDs should choose the first option, and students with even-numbered student IDs should choose the second option. This way, we will have 10 minutes for discussion in the first round of questions," Bafan said.

"So, our class is planning to discuss it before reaching a conclusion?" Hiyori asked.

"That's roughly the idea," said Eighth Master. "And then—"

Hachiman looked at Hiyori.

"..." Hiyori Shiina.

Yes, that's right.

She used to be the one doing things that offended people.

"Then we also have to choose a backup plan."

"If a question like last year's, where students Class Vote to drop out of school, comes up again."

"If the school can offer a decent reward and only force students to withdraw, then our class will choose the option of having students withdraw."

"As before, students who drop out will receive 2 million Private Points," Shiina said.

"We will arrange for Hachiman to exchange this money for cash in advance."

"So even though we've been together for over a year, someone still needs to make sacrifices for the class."

"As for those who will drop out, please open the OAA System and look at the bottom three students with the lowest overall evaluation. Be prepared, if it's not this time, then it will be the next time we encounter a situation where someone has to be at the bottom for dropping out, and that will be your dropout."

"Or, those who wish to leave voluntarily can register in advance," Shiina said. "Students who voluntarily register and withdraw from the school will receive an additional 200,000 Private Points as a reward."

"Ahhh..." Soon enough, some of the lower-ranked students in Class D realized they were still in danger.

The same test questions were also given to other second-year students.

This is Second-year Class C.

Ichinose belongs to.

"Completing on time will earn you 100 points in the class evaluation, but if you are late, you will lose 300 points."

For a class full of little angels, this kind of punishment for exams is a bit too much.

In particular, everyone's goal remains to graduate from Class A.

But.

"Ichinose, what are you thinking about?" Kanzaki noticed that Ichinose had been frowning ever since Chie Hoshinomiya- sensei announced the rules.

"I'm wondering if any of the five questions have any excessive requirements."

"For example, just like last year, they asked us to vote on who should drop out of school," Ichinose said.

Ah, this.

Indeed.

This is Ichinose's way of thinking.

Prioritize protecting your classmates over scoring points.

The Student Council President of Manabu Horikita had done something similar in the past, not only maintaining Class A but also ensuring that every student graduated.

But even Kanzaki realized that this was an incredibly difficult and thorny path.

Then, if you prioritize your classmates, you will lose some points that you could have earned otherwise.

Therefore, it's a difficult decision.

"Teacher, will the expulsion protection title be valid for this exam?" Ichinose asked.

"We don't know the specific exam content either," said Ms. Chie Hoshinomiya. "But what we can confirm is that the title protection will be effective this time."

Of course it will work.

"I will be leaving this school this month, and I will take responsibility for dealing with the troubles I have caused."

"Including the protected quotas that were introduced last year because of my unauthorized actions." That's what the then Acting Chairman Tsukishiro said.

So, Acting Chairman Tsukishiro probably wants to remove the protective titles from all four classes.

For classes without protected titles... the only option might be for students to drop out.

Their class lost to Ryuen's class in the Commander Exam. As a result Ichinose's protective title was revoked.

So now they're going to put out an exam that forces someone to drop out of school. Isn't the only option for their class to protect this student by spending 20 million Private Points?

And now.

At the end of the Treasure Hunt Game, the class won a prize of around 4 million, which was very exciting.

Then the class's assets reached an astonishing 13 million.

That looks amazing.

So now we have to bring it up again in this exam, and even... go into debt?

Because it takes 20 million to offset the punishment of being expelled from school.

"..." Ryuji Kanzaki.

At this moment, Kanzaki initially thought Ichinose was acting strangely, also became extremely melancholy.

Because.

He recalled how, during the Commander Exam, he had acted as a spy for the class, giving Ryuen an opportunity to take advantage.

Then, the hope was to warn the classmates not to be naive and innocent, but there was a price to pay: he lost the exam, and Ichinose also lost his protection against expulsion.

However, if we don't give the Ryuen's class a chance, then Ichinose's protected title can still be maintained, so it's possible to save those 20 million points.

Therefore.

Have I become the culprit in the class again?

Kanzaki then painfully maintained the mask of pain, with his left hand tucked into his hair.

As for Second-year Class A.

Majima-sensei has finished announcing the rules for this exam.

Then wait for the students' reactions. Based on past experience, if Sakayanagi takes the lead, the exam will end quickly.

And this time was indeed the case.

"Well then. The exam rules have been communicated," Classmate Sakayanagi said. "We can't rule out the possibility of questions related to dropping out."

"Then, to prevent chaos at that time," Classmate Sakayanagi said, "I've decided to select one student to withdraw from school."

"Then the other students don't need to worry."

"There are a total of 5 questions, and we will discuss them all."

"So, we'll deal with it then," Classmate Sakayanagi said. "You're free to do whatever you want now."

"How... how could this be—"

There was some panic in Second-year Class A.

Little Princess Sakayanagi has made a decision: if the exam questions include a solution that requires abandoning a classmate, she will definitely choose that option.

So.

I might also be abandoned by the little princess.

"..." Sitting in his seat, Hashimoto's heart was pounding.

He was reminded of the time he angered the little princess during his Uninhabited Island Exam. Fortunately, he made amends in time, so now he's probably the one who'll be expelled.

Only.

Why does this school have so many dropout exams? It's driving me crazy!

Or.

Hashimoto thought he should contact Hachiman Hikigaya to increase his chances of being accepted.

It's time for lunch break.

The Special Exam for this month will be held tomorrow, and the students are somewhat distracted.

Then, Bafan arrived at the third floor.

Today, Classmate Sakayanagi didn't invite him to dinner, and Hachiman is now shameless enough not to approach him.

He received a message from Hashimoto, who seemed to be inviting him to dinner.

But it would be strange for two boys to eat together, Hachiman refused.

And.

The Special Exam was just announced today, and Hashimoto contacted him immediately; there might be a trap.

Only.

Now that he had some money, there was no need to torture himself, so he went to dine on the more expensive third floor.

While queuing up, Bafan noticed that a young female faculty member in front of him seemed somewhat distracted.

The reason was that the other person didn't notice him and stepped on his foot.

"Huh... Oh, Hachiman Hikigaya. It was you." Perhaps sensing something was off, the other person realized their earlier rudeness and apologized.

But.

Chabashira-sensei, you should probably apologize honestly right now, Hachiman Hikigaya, it was you.

It's as if you're so familiar with someone that you don't need to apologize.

Chabashira still seemed somewhat absent-minded, but she noticed that Hachiban looked at his own shoes with a hint of surprise.

Um.

There was a shoe print on it. Clearly, it was her handiwork.

Chabashira doesn't like owing people anything.

"I stepped on you. If you're not happy, step on me back..." Chabashira said. Her words abruptly stopped because she realized that the instep of her left foot, which was being stepped on by a high heel, had been quickly stepped on.

"That settles things evenly," Hachiman said, withdrawing his left foot. "You said it yourself; if you were unhappy, I would have stepped on it back."

"..." This snapped Chabashira out of his dazed state.

"No one's treating me to dinner today, but Chabashira-sensei will treat me, right?" Hachiman continued.

"..." Chabashira.

So this is how Masumi Kamuro, feeling relieved that she didn't have to queue for Hachiman Hikigaya's meals today, which meant her workload was halved, saw Chabashira-sensei ahead of her in line and discovered that Chabashira had ordered the same dishes she usually served to Hachiman Hikigaya.

P. S.: I'm resuming double updates. I'm 204,000 words in debt, this chapter is 6,000 words, I still owe 198,000 words.

Then I'll share some of Night Lolita's books.

Synopsis: After transmigrating into the body of Treson's trainer, in order to escape Mejiro Castle, the Imperial Dungeon, and return home to inherit the family business!

Lin Qianhao decided to start slacking off and run away once his internship ended.

After deciding to give up, he activated the "Give Up" system, which allowed him to transform into Uma Musume at any time.

Is this for real? Doesn't this even skip the whole process of signing Uma Musume?

It seems the Uma Musume who can transform is named "Golden Ship" according to the notes above?

I also have a younger sister named "Star of the Sea City"? My online name is "The Astronomer"?
