Choices and Consequences: The Actor! Part 2

So, Sakagami-sensei confiscated all the students' cell phones and gave each of them a tablet.

There are a total of 5 questions in the exam.

"Only when the whole class agrees on the same point will we move on to the next topic."

"If there is any disagreement, even if one student has a different choice from another student, then there will be a discussion period. The discussion period is 10 minutes. And each time a question is presented, you will only have 60 seconds to make a choice."

"Classes that complete 5 test questions within the limited 3 hours will receive a reward of 100 points in class evaluation. Those that fail to complete the test within the time limit will have 300 points deducted."

In this way.

The blackboard display screen lit up.

The students' tablets also had an option.

P. S.: I still owe 198,000 words. This chapter is 5,000 words, so I still owe 193,000 words.

There will be another update tonight.

Chapter 69: Choices and Trade-offs, Actors' Performances! (Part 2)

The electronic display screen, which served as a blackboard, showed the first of five test questions.

Topic 1 - Choose which class to compete against in the final exam held in the first semester of third grade.

Option Class A (+100 points) Class B (+50 points) Class C (+0 points)

Then there are prompts below.

Note: 1. Even if class rank changes, this choice will take precedence.

Note: The numbers in parentheses 2 are the additional class evaluation points that can be obtained when winning a battle.

And then Sakagami-sensei said something.

"This option is for Special Exam held at the end of your first semester in your third year, used to determine your opponent."

"As mentioned in the supplement, assuming everyone unanimously chooses the class that is currently Class A, which is the class that Sakayanagi is in, even if this Class A falls to Class D before the end of the first semester of the third year, the opponent will still be Class A when this option was voted on, and the bonus of additional class evaluation points will not change."

"Because the test questions are exactly the same for all four classes, if the opponents chosen by your four classes are different, then the school will randomly select them. However, if you choose Class A, where Sakayanagi is, and Class A, where Sakayanagi is, also chooses you, then you will receive a bonus of 100 points in the final exam of the first semester of the third year."

"But the Sakayanagi Class will not receive any extra points."

Yes.

The current choice is to add 0 points to Class C, while Hachiman and his friends are in Class D.

Logically, since it's the lowest-level class, the Sakayanagi Class shouldn't receive any extra points.

And.

Hachiman noticed that although Sakagami-sensei had just explained some detailed rules, such as only giving 60 seconds to answer each question, he was still aware that the voting process was still incomplete.

But he's still rambling on and on.

In other words, the teacher will provide an explanation when the question appears.

After all, requiring students to choose within one minute of seeing the questions means that some students might not even have finished reading them.

So how should we answer?

What a load of crap.

However, this teacher still has a strong bias.

Because his example just now was that Sakayanagi's Class A fell to Class D.

He really dares to think outside the box.

However, Hachiman agrees with the idea that people should have ambitions. Just like he used to dream that someone would appear who would support him so he wouldn't have to work. And now, it seems that this ambition is about to come true.

Clearly, the question was presented, Hachiman was daydreaming.

"Then, let's begin the first vote. The time limit is sixty seconds."

"If it exceeds these sixty seconds, it will enter penalty time. Five minutes of exam time will be deducted," said Sakagami-sensei.

The total assessment time for the 5 questions is 3 hours, which is 180 minutes. If the exam time keeps being deducted, it will become dangerous.

So naturally, no one will continue to be distracted.

So the answering began.

"Now that everyone has voted, the voting results will be announced."

Because an anonymous tablet was used, the electronic system quickly generated the results.

The results of the first vote were: Class A 20 votes Class B 19 votes, and Class C 0 votes.

The votes were concentrated in Class A and Class B, which could receive additional class evaluation points as a reward.

But.

This is not for the sake of future class ranking scores, but rather the result of a promise Hachiman made to the students in his class yesterday.

For students with odd-numbered student IDs, choose the first option; for students with even-numbered student IDs, choose the second option.

"Since no consensus was reached, a halftime break will be scheduled. The halftime break will last for 10 minutes," said Sakagami-sensei.

"Call!"

The students in the class breathed a sigh of relief.

Clearly, as a class full of delinquents, there are many people who are not very bright. Although Sakagami-sensei has just explained it, there are still some people who have not understood the question.

"Hachiman." Hiyori looked over.

She chose to sit here today in the hope of better communication and strategy development.

"There should be no objection to this question," Hachiman said. "According to the question, we have to choose the option to fight against Sakayanagi Class, Horikita's class, and Class Ichinose."

"Although the Sakayanagi Class can get the most points."

"However, the Sakayanagi Class is very strong overall, and we don't know the exam questions from the third year, so I suggest we try for the Horikita's class instead."

"Then I'll apply to the Horikita's class," Ryuen said.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Eighth Division knew very well that although this tyrant could not cheat in this exam, he was certain that Kōenji would leave Horikita's class.

So in the third grade, they could bully the Horikita's class at will after losing two key players.

Clearly, Ryuen has not changed its weaknesses and remains overconfident.

Ryuen probably thought that if Hachiman left that class, and then Kōenji would also leave, then the Horikita's class would suffer a great loss of fighting power.

But.

As someone who came from that class, Hachiman knew very well how many problem children there were, how many of them could act, and how strong some of them were individually.

In particular, there is a sleeping big boss in that class.

Therefore, the Dragon Boy's confidence could be undermined.

However, by then they'll be in their third year, and Hachiman will have made enough money, and might even be bought by Sakayanagi Class, so it won't matter if Ryuen causes a ruckus.

"Hachiman was thinking."

"Then, we'll choose the second option later."

Ryuen stood up and said.

Horikita's class currently winning by default, having taken over Class B's position.

So, the 10 minutes that were supposed to be for students to present their views to each other and even try to persuade those with different opinions, were now reduced to just one answer in the Ryuen's class.

So all the students waited for the long 10-minute discussion to end.

"So."

Sakagami-sensei looked at her watch.

"Now we begin the second round of voting for question 1."

All the students picked up their tablets.

Soon.

"Now that everyone has voted, the voting results will be announced."

The results of the second vote: Class A 0 votes Class B 39 votes Class C 0 votes

"Unanimously approved," Sakagami said. "Then let's move on to the next question."

The second question quickly appeared on the screen.

Topic 2 - A school trip is scheduled for early September. Please choose your preferred travel destination.

Options: Hokkaido, Kyoto Okinawa

"What is this?!"

You can hear the students making these sounds.

It's during an exam, but it's impossible not to make noise.

Because.

What happened to the nerve-wracking, even potentially disqualifying, questions?

So, is this just a way to give out freebies?

According to the exam rules, questions that pass unanimously by everyone will be honored.

In other words...

If all four classes choose the same travel destination, then they can really go on vacation in September.

What an amazing thing!

"This vote is similar to the previous one; it won't be decided solely based on our class's vote. The decision will also be made based on the results of the other three classes," Sakagami-sensei said.

But the students couldn't resist voting.

The first round of voting results: Hokkaido 20 votes, Kyoto 19 votes, Okinawa 0 votes.

Although the votes were very concentrated and evenly distributed.

But.

While waiting for the voting results, many students were already looking towards Hachiman, Ryuen, Hiyori.

They must have their own ideas.

After all.

This question looks like it's about going out to play!

So, can't we also decide based on our own preferences?

"Since no consensus was reached, we will now have a halftime break," said Sakagami-sensei.

It was somewhat comforting.

Because in the first round of voting for both consecutive questions, the first option received 20 votes and the second option received 19 votes.

It was the plan decided by Hachiman Hikigaya and Ryuen.

Regardless of the topic, let's try to reach the break time first, and then proceed with the discussion.

If it were Ryuen, it would likely be even more radical.

So the fact that this class can achieve this suggests that this Hachiman is a rather composed person.

As the new homeroom teacher, Sakagami updates his evaluation of Hachiman Hikigaya.

"Ryuen, I think Kyoto would be a great place to go."

"I've already been to Hokkaido on my junior high school school trip, but I haven't been to Kyoto yet," someone immediately suggested to Ryuen.

"Hachiman Hikigaya, what do you think?" But Ryuen shifted the blame to Hachiman.

"Me?" Hachiman paused. "In Kyoto..."
