In practice, I originally just wanted to be a slacker.

The student council election ceremony was originally scheduled for December, but Horikita Manabu moved it to October so that the next student council could familiarize themselves with school affairs as soon as possible and be in good condition to welcome the new students next year.

By the way, isn't this a sign that Horikita Manabu doesn't trust Nagumo?

No... I feel like laughing.

Now Nagumo wants to extend the deadline to graduation, which is March of the following year. Although he wants to hold onto power until the very last moment, Kamio Tatsuya doesn't care about that.

In this way, even if Tatsuya Kamio takes over, he will only need to work for one year.

However, once Tatsuya Kamio takes office, the election can be brought forward again, let's say October or November.

Haha, that way, you only need to work for half a year, and there's a one-month summer vacation in between.

Haha, I'm such a genius!

Therefore, at this time, we cannot oppose Nagumo's approach; in fact, we must absolutely support him.

This way, the practice of changing the election time after the student council takes office can be made a tradition!

Well, the plan works!

As for not choosing Tatsuya Kamio as the next president, wouldn't that be better?

Only a fool would want to do this kind of job!

In addition to this, Nagumo also plans to relax the restrictions on joining the student council, and at the same time, to vote on and expel members who feel they are no longer competent in their student council work.

It seems like they've given the students a chance to rebel, but in reality, apart from three first-year students, the student council is basically full of Nagumo's supporters.

Therefore, this was not an opportunity for Nagumo to give his subordinates to resist, but a means of purging dissidents. After all, even the student council president cannot easily dismiss student council members.

Hey, hey, hey, this isn't coming for me, is it?

It shouldn't be. After all, it was Nan Yun who recruited me, and now he's firing me. He's the one who's slapping himself in the face.

Anyway, Tatsuya Kamio doesn't care.

"Kamio-kun, you're supposed to be a candidate for the next student council president, it's not fair to treat me like this."

Nagumo immediately saw through Kamio Tatsuya's thoughts.

It seems I have to say something today.

"I have no objection to most of Chairman Nagumo's reforms."

"So, there are still people who are not satisfied."

"It's about abolishing the general election," Tatsuya Kamio said bluntly. "Does President Nagumo mean that the student council president will be directly appointed by the previous student council president?"

“That’s right, that’s exactly what I mean.” Nan Yun shifted into a more comfortable sitting position. “Or do you think there’s anything wrong with having an outstanding student council president appoint the next president?”

"No, of course there is no problem with that."

Kamio Tatsuya didn't intend to deny this, but it was clear that Nagumo's new system was more prone to problems than the electoral system.

"If any student council president makes a mistake in judgment and the elected president is incompetent, and the student council is even unable to function properly, then President Nagumo, who made this suggestion, might be singled out and put on the pillar of shame."

In a regular school, this wouldn't be a problem, but this is Gaoyu, where the student council president has a lot of power. Once they start acting recklessly, the entire student body will be dragged into it.

"Although the school will definitely intervene in this situation, don't you think it's too late by then?"

After hearing Tatsuya Kamio's words, Nagumo pondered for a long time before nodding.

"Kamio-kun is indeed extraordinary." Nagumo smiled. "In that case, let's withdraw the proposal to abolish the election system. After all, I don't want to be nailed to the pillar of shame of this school."

Great, the plan is working again!

Appointing a new student council president requires considering not only the future of the student council but also the thoughts of the members, and balancing various factors.

This is such a troublesome thing, let whoever wants to do it do it, I'm not doing it!

What followed was a series of reforms, but as Nagumo said, the newly appointed student council president would face many constraints.

Even if Kamio Tatsuya is willing to fully cooperate with him, many things cannot be implemented immediately; there always needs to be a buffer period.

Furthermore, with all the third-year students leaving, the student council, whose numbers have drastically decreased, has immediately become very busy. But President Nagumo will surely find a way to resolve this, right?

Yes, I believe you, Chairman Nagumo!

Come on!

Chapter 205 Pper Shffle, Absolute Advantage!

When Tatsuya Kamio finished his work in the student council and was about to leave, Nagumo stopped him.

"By the way, Kamio-kun, the plan for the first-year final exams has been sent over. Would you like to take a look?"

"can I see?"

Hearing Nagumo's words, Kamio Tatsuya was somewhat puzzled. Although the student council had the right to change special exams, the school's policies toward students were to be kept secret.

"I've already picked out what I can't tell you; the rest is what you can see."

As he spoke, Nan Yun handed over a stack of documents.

Kamio Tatsuya took it with some skepticism.

The text simply states that the questions used in the final exam will be created by the students themselves.

Taking Class C as an example, Class C needs to create a set of test questions one week before the exam begins, and use their own test questions as the test questions for any one of the other three classes, such as Class C.

Then the final exam paper for Class C will be the test paper set by Class C. This process is called an attack.

Of course, the final exam papers for Class C will also be changed to questions from other classes, such as Class B. This process is called defense.

The final result is a comparison of the class's total score. If Class C's total score is lower than Class 4's, then the attack has failed and Class 4 will lose 50 points to Class C.

Then, on the defensive side, if Class C's total score is still lower than Class B's, then Class B will lose 50 class points.

Simply put, this will be an absolute test of academic ability.

On the offensive end, they rely on the top students in the class. If they set tricky questions, they can successfully suppress the defending team's score.

Defense, on the other hand, is a contest of overall academic ability, where the goal is to gain as many points as possible from the test papers presented by the attacking side.

But... the class's total score.

Doesn't this mean that the more students a class has, the more advantageous it is? This gives Class C, which currently has the largest number of students in the entire grade, an absolute advantage.

The saying "Many hands make light work" took on a concrete form at this moment.

"You noticed it too, didn't you?"

"Is President Nagumo trying to say that the number of students in each first-year class is inconsistent?"

"That's right. There are 40 students in Class B and Class C in the first grade, 41 students in Class C, and only 38 students in Class D."

If we're calculating the total class score, Class D is at a disadvantage from the start. So, for the sake of fairness, what do you think about changing the total class score to the average score?

Sigh, President Nagumo, Horikita-senpai has only been gone for less than a day, and you're already so eager to target me?

"I don't think it's very good, but the number of people was the same at the beginning, right?" Kamio Tatsuya looked speechless. "Since they started from the same point at the beginning of the school year, it's their own problem that they couldn't hold onto their power, right?"

Why should our student council pay for their stupidity? Besides, they weren't compensated for the tug-of-war and pole-climbing competitions at the sports festival, so why should they be compensated for this exam?

If we're going to change the class total score to an average score this time, wouldn't it be fairer to just change the class points for all four classes back to 1000 points?

Through these exam rules, Tatsuya Kamio also discovered a problem: in addition to testing the academic abilities of each class, this exam also conveyed an important message.

That's a matter of numbers. The school wants to tell students that in some exams, having fewer students is also an advantage.

This is equivalent to telling students that trying to protect their teammates is not a futile effort.

This was actually evident during the sports festival, but at that time, Tatsuya Kamio wasn't focused on that, so he didn't think about it in depth.

Nagumo's idea was to encourage the class to kick out those who were not capable.

As for Tatsuya Kamio's thoughts, he didn't have any specific ideas; he naturally chose the ideas that were advantageous to himself.

This time, it's more advantageous to calculate the class's total score, so he won't choose the average score.

Furthermore, class competition is a long-term battle that lasts for three years, and the advantages accumulated in the early stages will naturally come in handy.

After saying all this, I thought Nan Yun would feel a little embarrassed, but to my surprise, he actually showed an appreciative smile.

"Don't be angry, Kamio-senpai. You are indeed a man recognized by both Horikita-senpai and me. It seems you see things very clearly. You haven't disappointed me."

Kamio Tatsuya was speechless for a moment, so why did you test me for no reason?

As time went by, in late October, the students of Gaoyu School faced their mid-term exams for the second semester.

Although it's just a regular competition, failing the test will still result in expulsion.

And just like the predictions made during the previous sports festival—the questions were indeed very difficult, but fortunately, Class C didn't have any of the bottom ten in the sports festival, so there was no need to worry about losing points.

However, in order to prepare for the exams, Ryuen immediately organized a study group for high-achieving students in classes like Kaneda after the sports festival.

Regarding written exams, the situation in Class C was similar to that in Class D, because both classes had a large number of underachievers, and the day the written exam results were announced was like the prelude to execution.

"Dear students, there's no need to be so nervous. No one in Class C failed the midterm exam."

Unlike Chazhu's style, Banban announced the final results as soon as he arrived in class, and then posted the scores on the blackboard under the watchful eyes of the students who breathed a sigh of relief.

"After averaging all the scores, the passing score is 45 points. Those who score below 45 points will be expelled."

Fortunately, even Ishizaki, who had the worst grades among you, surpassed that score after receiving bonus points from the sports festival.

The average passing score is 45, which means the average score is actually 90?

Kamio Tatsuya was immediately taken aback. Even with the bonus from the sports festival, how could Class C's academic ability be so high?

Ishizaki, who was specifically named, was quite startled, as he didn't want to be expelled for failing an exam.

Then, the person on the board looked at the students in the class with a serious expression.

"I hope you all don't let your guard down when it comes to your studies. If you're aiming for a high level of education, academic qualifications are a very important part of it."

See, criticizing when criticism is due and reminding when reminders are necessary—that's the duty of a teacher.

People like Chazhu only know how to mock students after the exam; they have absolutely no sense of responsibility.

"Alright, whatever the results of the midterm exams were, it's all in the past now. Next, I'll talk about the final exams."

鏉ヤ 钖楋纻

Although he had seen some of the materials about the final exams at the student council, Tatsuya Kamio was still quite curious about the rest.

"In preparation for the final exams of the second semester, there will be quizzes on eight subjects next week."

As soon as these words were spoken, Class C became chaotic, much like Class D.

In fact, not only in Class C and Class D, but also in Class B and Class C, there are students with poor academic performance and students who hate taking exams.

"Ugh~ Didn't we just finish our midterms? Why are we having exams again?!"

"Aren't the final exams in December? There are still two months left, is it really necessary to be in such a rush?"

The teacher on the board ignored the students' complaints and continued speaking.

"The quiz next week will cover eight subjects, with a total of one hundred questions and a full score of one hundred points. The content will be at the level of a third-year middle school student."

Furthermore, just like the quizzes in the first semester, it won't affect your grades; even if you get a zero, you won't be expelled.

"really?"

Ishizaki immediately became excited.

However, Tatsuya Kamio, Ryuen, and the smarter students in Class C couldn't laugh at all.

Given the school's track record, it's truly unimaginable that the other party would do something so pointless.

The purpose of the quizzes last semester was to help students discover the existence of past exam questions and to help them understand the true nature of this school.

Therefore, this quiz is definitely not just a simple quiz; it must be accompanied by some purpose.

Moreover, the person on the board didn't look relaxed at all when they said those words.

That's already given plenty of hints.

"Ishizaki, don't get too excited. Although the results of the quiz won't get you expelled, they're not meaningless either." The teacher on the board said seriously, "The school will use the results of this quiz as a basis to divide the students in the class into pairs, and then the students will work together in pairs to prepare for the final exams."

Grouping in pairs?

The students in the class were all a little confused for a moment.

"Simply put, students who are assigned to the same group will share the same score, which is the sum of their written test scores."

For example, if Kaneda and Ishizaki are assigned to the same group, and Kaneda's physics score is 80 while Ishizaki's score is 0, then their combined score is 80.
