This was the class's weakness: there were simply too many academically weak students.
And with questions like these—
"Time is up." The students answering the questions had three minutes to think.
So, once those three minutes were over, the results for the five students from Ryuen's class were in.
"The defending side receives 2 points."
The defenders in this round were Ryuen's class, where Hachiman was, and Ryuen's class received 2 points.
Answering a difficulty-one question correctly earned 1 point. Since five students had answered and two of them received 2 free points, that meant... the other three had all been wiped out.
That was Ryuen's class's weakness: weak students were everywhere.
And that was also why Hachiman had said that even if they had the chance to rise through the special exam, they definitely would not be able to hold their position.
The weak students could not improve that easily.
And written exams like this placed far too much pressure on them.
Still.
They had not expected to gain many points from Class A anyway.
Soon, Class A's attack on Class B ended. Next came Class B's attack on Class C, and Hachiman had made an agreement with Ichinose and the others to give Ichinose's class 70 points during the first half of the exam.
Seventy points would be easy enough to arrange. There would be ten rounds in the first half, and they could choose difficulty-one questions every time, then use the pre-confirmed lists with Ichinose's class to designate and defend students for free points. That would only yield fifty points, but if they chose difficulty-two or difficulty-three questions, Ichinose's class could earn 2 or 3 points for every question a student answered correctly. The points would pile up ridiculously fast.
But that would be too obvious, so
