Practical teaching: Starting from the soul traveling through Dragon Garden

Chapter 143 Challenge
Special exams are one of the few activities that can instantly reduce the difference in class points. Other classes must try their best to increase their rewards even at the risk of being expelled. Only the high-ranking Class A does not have to worry.

It is enough to get a relatively good return with the lowest risk and maintain the leading points. This is Katsuragi's idea.

Even so, no one responded, so Class A had to make another promise: "Even if we are ranked last, we will never drag others down with us. Of course, the premise is that the other party does not do anything that can lower the score."

The conditions were very tempting, but that was just a verbal agreement between Class A. After going through so many exams, no one was so naive as to believe in the verbal agreements made by people from other classes. After all, they lacked effectiveness.

Kanzaki Ryuji wanted to continue discussing other plans with Class A, but Class A's attitude was very tough. They refused any pairing other than this. According to the school's standards, as long as someone in the group objects, the group will not be established. Class A's non-cooperation led to Class BC's refusal to cooperate with it. In desperation, after thinking for a while, Hirata decided to send Yamauchi to this seemingly dangerous but actually quite safe group.

Although Yamauchi was extremely unhappy, his selection was not arranged by Hirata. Class D played rock-paper-scissors, and unfortunately Yamauchi was selected.

After the grouping of Class A was completed, Classes BCD began to group with the maximum multiplier. However, things did not go smoothly. Unlike Class B, which was full of good people, Class C had many bad people and hooligans. Students in Classes BD had clearly stated that they did not want to team up with Class C. People like Sudo who had poor grades in Class D also preferred to be in the same group with the excellent Hirata. However, this would easily cause the boys' group in Class D to be ranked at the bottom, which ran counter to the strategy of giving up points to protect class members.

The BCD classes were unable to reach a consensus on grouping, and Long Yuan, who had not expressed his opinion, finally couldn't stand it anymore.

A good hunter is always greedy when others are fearful.

"The boys in Class C will be divided into two groups of ten. Hirata, give us four of you, and Kanzaki Ryuji the same. I can be merciful and take in the losers in your class, and I will ensure that they will not be expelled. Class A will also give us two people."

It was still a verbal agreement, and the tone was even contemptuous and threatening, but Hirata and Kanzaki Ryuji both believed that what Ryuen said was true.

Although facing the tone of Long Yuan's orders was very unpleasant, this could indeed reduce the pressure on the poor students in the group. The so-called poor students were those who might do things that lowered their scores even if their attitudes were correct, and staying in the group was like a time bomb.

Ryuji Kanzaki and Hirata had a simple idea. They would stuff the worst students into the Ryuen group, which would make it difficult for the Ryuen group to win. In contrast, if they kept the best students in their own group, the possibility of winning would be higher.

After understanding this, Ryuji Kanzaki and Hirata both agreed with Ryuen's suggestion. As for the poor students in the class, they also knew that they would only drag the class down, so it was difficult for them to resist when they were chosen. Even if they resisted, it was meaningless as they would gain nothing except the opinions of others.

In this way, class C was divided into two large groups, all of which were matched according to the highest interest standards. Each group had ten students from class C, two students from class B, two students from class D, and one student from class A. The remaining groups were decided after discussion between Kanzaki Ryuji and Hirata. The grouping of the seniors was also completed. After meeting Horikita Manabu, Nanyun suggested: "How about leaving the selection of groups entirely to the first-years? Their group leaders will decide the order by playing rock-paper-scissors and actively select the senior groups to join the team."

Horikita Manabu nodded in agreement with this method. Compared to letting the seniors make the selection, this method was obviously fairer.

However, although it was Nanyun's suggestion, the group Nanyun belonged to had not been selected yet. Classes ABD perfectly avoided Nanyun's grouping. The reason was not difficult to understand. Although Nanyun's strength as the new student council president was unquestionable, most of the members of his group were students from Class CD. In the end, it was Ryuen who led his group to choose Nanyun.

"Please give me your advice."

Ryuen gave Nanyun a sarcastic smile. Nanyun was also very interested in Ryuen, his junior. After all, he was the one who surpassed himself and Horikita Manabu to win the championship in the sports festival.

However, Nanyun did not respond to Ryuen. His eyes were now on Horikita Manabu. After confirming that he was not in the same group as Horikita Manabu, Nanyun directly asked Horikita Manabu: "Oh~ Horikita-senpai, we happen to be in different groups. How about a match? You guys are about to graduate from the third year, and I really want to try to see if I can surpass you."

Horikita Manabu didn't take it seriously at all. He had rejected Nanyun's challenge countless times. It wasn't because he was afraid of losing, but because there was no need to. What could a confrontation between second-years and third-years decide? The rules and points for each grade were calculated separately. Private cross-grade confrontations were a pure waste of time.

"Don't be so hasty to reject me, Horikita-senpai. I have always been upset about not winning the relay race at the last sports meet. This time, the cross-grade cooperation is a more direct stage. We can compare whose group has the higher average score. It's simple and clear. How do you think?"

Horikita Manabu looked at Nanyun, and then accepted the challenge, which was rare. However, he also had a few requirements: First of all, no one else could be involved in this battle, that is, no attack on other groups or internal sabotage. The targets were not only each other's groups, but other innocent students could not be involved in this duel, otherwise, no matter the victory or defeat, the duel would be invalid!

Nanyun smiled and nodded, agreeing to the conditions: "You are worthy of being Horikita-senpai. Since we want to be fair, then I will establish the bet here as the student council president and promise that I will never involve any students present in the duel. As for the punishment for winning or losing, let's just use our dignity as the price for now."

The moment Horikita Manabu nodded, Ryuen shook his head. It seemed that the smart Horikita Manabu was about to fall into trouble. Although Nanyun made a bet, he made it as the student council president. However, these were just a trick. Nanyun would naturally not break the bet, but the problem lay in the bet. You know, there were only boys present, and the girls were grouped separately from the boys. Horikita Manabu, who did not realize this, would suffer a great loss.

Only Horikita Manabu would believe what Nanyun said was upright. This kind of quibbling in the words in the contract was too familiar to Ryuuen. After all, he had suffered such a loss in the contract he signed, and Kamuro had been tricked in the same way. Now Horikita Manabu had to feel the similar darkness.
