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

"Kamio-kun, do you have any good ideas?"

"It's very simple. We first divide the 59 students from our three classes into six groups, and then distribute the students from each class equally into the other six groups."

Kamio Tatsuya's tone was full of malice towards Ban.

"This is impossible!"

Upon hearing these words, the students in the class, especially the one in the audience, had a drastic change in expression and blurted out something.

If the groups are really grouped in this way, the boys in the class are doomed. They won't lose many points, but they definitely won't get many points either.

Katsuragi's expression changed slightly; he had indeed come.

Hashimoto, who was standing to the side, opened his mouth, looked at Katsuragi, and then gave a wry smile. He hadn't expected Katsuragi to guess right this time.

"Nothing is impossible. You were the ones who came up with the battle strategy first. I was just proposing countermeasures."

Of course, you can choose not to join us, but then no class will be willing to team up with the elites of your class.

What kind of punishment will you receive then? Will you all be expelled from school?

Kamio Tatsuya sneered, then looked at Kanzaki.

"Kanzaki, what do you guys think?"

"I agree in principle."

Kanzaki nodded, because that would eliminate Ban directly, eliminating a strong competitor, and Kanzaki couldn't be happier to do that.

He's different from Ichinose; he's not exactly a pushover.

Moreover, Tatsuya Kamio left them a way out: they could simply give up on winning and join another group, and even if they eventually dropped out of school, they wouldn't be able to blame anyone else.

"But will the students in Class D agree?"

Kanzaki then looked at Class D, who were waiting for Hirata to make a decision.

"I think Hirata-san will agree, right?"

As Kamio Tatsuya said this, he glanced at Yamauchi and Sudo in the crowd, his threat clear.

Hirata looked at Kamio Tatsuya with a complicated expression, then nodded.

"I'm sorry, classmates, I have a reason why I have to agree."

"We're doomed!" The students in the class all looked extremely grim. Some even cursed Sakayanagi in their hearts, thinking that it was all because of that guy's terrible strategy that the class was already doomed to lose at the very beginning.

None of them dared to stand up and oppose it.

"It seems the students in the class have no objections. In that case, let's begin."

神崎，平田，你们各自从班级里面挑出两个组长，然后自由组队吧。无论是13-1、12-1-1或者11-1-1-1的组合的都没问题。

As for the students in Class D, to be fair, we'll start with Class D and pick them one by one, how about that?

Seeing Tatsuya Kamio's blatant plan to divide the spoils, the students in the class dared not speak out in anger. At this moment, they all realized that choosing them was still a good thing.

If they are not chosen, then they will be left out, like unwanted guys.

If that's the case, they are very likely to be expelled from school.

"Kamio, how does Class C plan to form teams?"

Kanzaki still intends to refer to Tatsuya Kamio's strategy first.

"Longyuan, what do you think? Should we form a team of four classes and try our luck?"

"Since you've put it that way, I don't think I have any room to refuse." Ryuen adopted Kamio Tatsuya's suggestion, then looked at Kanzaki, "Kanzaki, I suggest you guys do the same. Your class points are almost up to par with the top class, right?"

Ryuen's suggestion aroused Kanzaki's suspicion, because doing so would indeed increase the maximum number of points that could be earned, but would Ryuen really be so kind?

Kanzaki expressed his doubts about this.

So he turned his gaze to Tatsuya Kamio once again.

"I can only say that Longyuan did not mean to harm you."

"In that case, let's do it that way too."

The two discussed it in secret, so students from other classes could hear it clearly.

"Hirata, they've all decided on a 13-1-1-1 combination, should we do that too?"

Hirata thought for a while, then nodded. He didn't care much about how to divide the groups; what he cared about was how to choose another group leader.

"Ayanokouji-san, could I ask you for help with the other group leader?"

"I?"

Ayanokouji's face showed obvious resistance.

"I will let your group select students from the class first. If they are all excellent students, reaching the average score should not be a problem."

Hirata's idea was naturally to avoid dropping out of school, so he planned to balance his strength.

"But wouldn't that make our class even less competitive?"

While Class D was discussing, the groups for Class B and Class C had already been formed. The two group leaders for Class B were Kanzaki and Shibata, and Shibata's group consisted of eleven outstanding students from Class B, excluding Kanzaki.

Kanzaki, on the other hand, is slightly weaker.

"Hurry up and decide, Hirata. Class B and Class C have already been divided into groups."

"That's right, Hirata, I don't want to lose, or I'll get negative points this time."

"But shouldn't we prioritize avoiding expulsion over scoring high marks?"

Hirata nodded, then made a decision, and selected a few students from the D class group, excluding Ayanokouji.

Moreover, Hirata remained true to himself, prioritizing the protection of his comrades over winning, which essentially meant giving up the chance of victory.

“Ayanokouji-san, I still hope you can become the group leader. If it’s really not possible, you can give the group leader position to a student in the class.”

Then, Ayanokouji nodded.

"Now that you've formed your teams, let's begin. We'll start by selecting from Class D."

However, Tatsuya Kamio immediately changed his mind as soon as he finished speaking.

"Oh, by the way, the class's elites haven't agreed to join us yet."

Then, the boys from all three classes turned their attention to the boys in their class.

"So, how about it? Want to join us?"

The boys in the class all looked grim, because their silence was tantamount to agreement, and Tatsuya Kamio's words were a blatant insult to them.

If Tatsuya Kamio knew what they were thinking, he'd definitely applaud them. Yes, he's humiliating you. What? You're not happy about it? Keep it to yourself!

What can you do about it?

"We... agree."

Madoka gritted his teeth, glaring resentfully at Tatsuya Kamio, and agreed to Kamio's proposal.

"What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly. Could you please speak louder, Tomaru-kun?"

Although Kamio Tatsuya was being very unreasonable at this moment, everyone had seen Matoba's arrogant behavior just now, so no one stood up to speak for him.

"I agree to your proposal to shuffle all the students in the class into your groups." The student, already red-eyed with rage from the humiliation, said...

"Oh dear, is this how you ask for favors?" Tatsuya Kamio deliberately shook his head. "You need to understand, if we don't agree to let you join, the boys in your class will have to drop out of school."

And all of this is because of your arrogance! You single-handedly put 20 boys in the class at risk of expulsion! Classmate, don't you think you've done something wrong?

"What does this have to do with me! I'm just carrying out a mission according to Sakayanagi's plan!" Matoba finally couldn't hold back and exploded.

And this is exactly what Tatsuya Kamio wanted. He wanted the students in his class to know who was really the person who almost caused them to drop out of school.

That's right, it's Sakayanagi Arisu who gave the instructions from the very beginning!

At this moment, Ge Cheng in the class couldn't stand it anymore. If things continued like this, the class would probably lose all face.

Indeed, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to be on high alert when facing Tatsuya Kamio.

"I'm sorry, everyone. I apologize for the arrogance of the class. All the boys in the class are willing to obey the arrangements of the three classes and will not hold you back in this exam."

After Katsuragi stepped forward, Kamio Tatsuya immediately lost interest in pursuing the matter further.

Katsuragi worked very hard in the student council, so Kamio Tatsuya was willing to give him face. Moreover, since his goal had been achieved, he immediately chose to let the matter rest.

He then glanced at Hirata, giving him a signal that he could start picking people.

Next, Hirata looked at the class's lineup and then, without hesitation, chose the most reliable boy in the class, Katsuragi Kohei.

After Hirata made his selection, Ryuen stepped forward and looked at Hashimoto.

"Hashimoto, come here."

Hashimoto, with her ponytail tied, smiled helplessly and then walked from the crowd to Class C's camp. Next, Shibata chose Shinji Toba.

Since Ban Yanagi was chosen as the person in charge of this exam, he must have some outstanding qualities, and the current situation in the class is indeed not his fault.

All I can say is that Tatsuya Kamio's idea was incredibly insidious.

Next, Longyuan placed another inconspicuous boy from Class C into the teams of Class B and Class D respectively.

Class B and Class D also switched back to the same color.

Incidentally, Yamauchi was also sent out, but he absolutely refused to join Class C, so he ended up in Class B instead.

Chapter 241 Nagumo: Horikita-senpai, let's have a match!

After the three groups of fourteen people each were formed, there were 17 people remaining in Class B, 7 people remaining in Class C, 8 people remaining in Class D, and 5 people remaining in Class D.

There are 37 people left in total, which averages out to 12-13 people per group.

If the class is to lose its competitiveness, then its 17 students must be divided equally into three groups to prevent them from getting together and causing trouble.

Of the remaining students in the three classes below, apart from Kanzaki and Kamio Tatsuya, the rest were the ones who were not favored.

Class D was an exception, because even highly capable students like Yukimura were left behind, all because Hirata wanted to protect his comrades.

As for Class C, Ryuen didn't choose Ishizaki and Yamada, but instead left them for Kamio Tatsuya, presumably because she felt that the two of them could help Kamio Tatsuya.

"Kanzaki, are you really sure it's okay if you don't join Shibata's side?"

"Well, I can't just ignore the other classmates. You didn't join Ryuen's group either, did you?" Kanzaki smiled.

Just as Tatsuya Kamio and Kanzaki were chatting, something seemed to have happened to Class D.

"Kōenji-kun, could you please be the leader of the other group?"

“I refuse. Aren’t there a few other students from Class D besides me? Or you could give them to the class.” Koenji crossed his arms. “Of course, you can force them on me if you want, but even if I become the group leader, I will not fulfill my responsibilities as the leader.”

I might even boycott the exam, and if that causes my grades to fall below average, I won't hesitate to drag others down with me.

Koenji's remarks were also heard by students from other classes, so the students in that class all showed expressions of resistance, as if they did not want to form a group with Koenji at all.

"Kanzaki, let's divide the rest of our students into three groups on an equal footing."

After considering Tatsuya Kamio's statement for a moment, Kanzaki immediately nodded, because it was tantamount to directly sacrificing the results of the last three groups.

If we can let the top three groups compete for the rankings, and the remaining groups split the points equally, then the deductions won't be too many points.

It's much better than just gaining points.

"What do the students in Class D think?"

"of course can!"

Yukimura from Class D agreed without hesitation, since Class D currently only has five people. If they are divided into three groups, they can send Koenji out, so why not!

As for the class, the class has no choice.

"Ishizaki, Yamada, you two stay and form a group with me. As for the five of you, form groups of two plus three according to your own preferences."

As Kamio Tatsuya directed, Kanzaki also divided the B-class team into three groups of two.

As for Class D, Koenji was undoubtedly isolated.

Next, D class chose first as usual. Although Hirata asked Ayanokouji for help, it was Yukimura who stepped forward this time and directly selected two people from each of B and C classes.

Next up was Tatsuya Kamio. He looked at the remaining two groups in Class D: one was Koenji, and the other was the combination of Akito Miyake and Hideo Sotomura.

Kamio Tatsuya had no problem with Miyake, but the other villager spoke in a very strange tone, and Kamio Tatsuya didn't want to be in a group with him.

Then, Kamio Tatsuya looked at Kanzaki and, in order not to cause trouble, chose Koenji. He then selected two more students from Class B.
