The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was still burning with an orange-red sunset glow.
The setting sun shines on the sea, and the water is filled with light and gold, giving it a clear and bright beauty.
But all this seems extremely annoying in this dark and gloomy theater at this moment.
"... Are you kidding? The result has been announced a long time ago. Now you are telling me about the real result. What do you want to do?"
"If I guess correctly, the announcement of the exam results can be changed by Private Points, right?"
"This..."
"That's why Teacher Mashima announced the results like that, 'I will announce the results of this Special Exam. If you have any objections to the test results, please raise them within the specified time. If the time is exceeded, it will not be re-accepted.'
Announce the result, rather than announce the final result. The result caused by these two words is like a chasm in the sky."
Because the information Ayanokoji said was so shocking, after he finished speaking, Chabashira-sensei was still stunned and seemed to have not fully recovered.
"... Do you know what you're talking about?"
"Just because I am a participant in this exam, I know what I am talking about better than anyone else."
Although even he himself was involved in the calculation in the end, compared with the number of points obtained and the victory, clearly understanding everything this person did and his identity are the top priorities at this stage.
"... I have reason to doubt your words. After all, I really don't know why someone Class D would do such a thing, so if you don't explain clearly, it will be difficult for me to believe your words."
"Do you think I have any reason to deceive you? What's more, these things were not done by me. It doesn't make sense to want to use this to increase my weight in your heart."
"Furthermore, if you really don't believe it, won't you be able to verify the authenticity of what I said when the next exam results form is released?"
"With just one exam, the gap with Class C has been closed... How is this possible?"
"Believe it or not, as for how that person did it..."
First, let us sort out the scores of each class in this exam.
Class A--120 points
Class B--100 points
Class C--126 points
Class D--125 points
Among them, the points obtained by Class C are the easiest to calculate. The 26 points obtained by occupying the stronghold, plus guessing the leaders of the three classes A, B, and D. In the end, 'Horikita' guessed their own leader, deducting 50 points, and finally obtained 126 points.
Class A, one student chose to quit before the exam, and the remaining points after deducting the corresponding points were 270 points. At the end, due to leaks from some students within Class A who were dissatisfied with Katsuragi, it can be known that the final remaining points of Class A were 220 points.
Among them, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka guesses that it is most likely related to the occupation of the stronghold.
Class A occupied a large number of strongholds in this exam, and there is a high probability that a certain node made an error, causing the fifty points to be deducted.
Ayanokoji knows that there is cooperation between Ryuen and Class A. The high probability is that Class C provides points to Class A or materials, and need to provide several other class leaders to Class A during the exam, and Class A will later provide corresponding points to repay Ryuen.
Among them, in fact, the points obtained by Class A and Class C in this exam are 120 points and 0 points respectively.
Among them, the reason why Class A remains unchanged is very simple. While being guessed by Ryuen, Ryuen did not inform Katsuragi about the change of leader from Class D. As a result, Katsuragi later guessed Class D incorrectly when guessing the leader.
And Ryuen was calculated by the [person behind the scenes] of Class D, because, strictly speaking, from the beginning to the end of the exam, I am afraid that the leader of Class D has not changed from beginning to end!
Horikita is not a leader, nor is he a real leader. He has always been 'that person' from the beginning.
Class B, while not guessing any leader from beginning to end, was guessed by the other three classes.
Among them, in Ayanokoji's opinion, this is the most stupid thing about the man behind the scenes. Considering their current situation, maintaining an alliance with Class B is the safest way to deal with it at present.
But this person most likely would not have such an idea, and directly filled in the name of the leader Class B, which shows how 'stupid' and ruthless this person is.
The reason why Ayanokoji is aware of this is because he has been operating behind the scenes and followed Horikita to the camps and situations of each class.
Therefore, the actual results of this exam should be as follows:
Class A: Successfully identified the leader of Class B (+50), failed to identify the leader of Class D (-50 points), and was successfully identified as the leader by C and Class D (-50). The final score is 220-50-100+50=120.
Class B: Successfully identified by A, C, and Class D (-150). The final score is 200-150=50.
Class C: Successfully identified A and Class B (+100), failed to identify Class D (-50), and was successfully identified by Class D (-50). The final score is 50+50-50-50=0.
Class D: Successfully identified A, B, and Class C (+150). The final score is 125+150+25=300.
Among them, the final 25 points, I think, are most likely bonus points earned by that person's own actions. This is the final result of this exam.
As for why that person made such a move, there is no doubt that it was to stabilize Class D's limelight and prevent other classes from being as vigilant against Class D.
Before the real answers to this exam are made public, the behavior of Class D will be interpreted as the actions of Horikita and others, thereby minimizing the targeting of Class D by other classes.
I have to say, this is a very good move, even Ayanokoji himself can't find fault with it.
"..."
"Pa--pa--pa--"
Chabashira-sensei clapped his hands silently, and the applause seemed so harsh in this quiet theater.
"I didn't expect, Ayanokoji, that you could actually see this step."
"Sure enough, you already knew."
"It seems that my assessment of you has to be revised appropriately. Now I am more and more curious. If there is a day when you two actually fight, who will win between the two of you? In other words, do you have this confidence?"
Chabashira These words sound particularly ironic to me.
"You don't need to know this. As long as you can guarantee that what you said before is true, I will take action on the rest."
Failure?
Haha, can the person behind the scenes who is hiding in the class bury me?
You know, I have almost guessed his identity...
