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

"I'm sorry, I couldn't stop Koenji."

"How can you blame yourself? It's all that bastard Gaoyuanji's fault for angering the wild boar..."

As Ishizaki finished speaking, he kicked the bed leg hard.

"Moreover, I was only focused on escaping at the time and didn't pay any attention to their situation."

The group members started spouting nonsense, some criticizing Koenji, others blaming themselves for not helping them.

Upon seeing this, Tatsuya Kamio secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, he was just a sixteen-year-old first-year high school student. He witnessed such a tragic scene in front of him. If he wasn't comforted and guided, who knows if he would suffer psychological problems later?

"I suddenly realized that just being alive is already a blessing."

Someone said something that stunned everyone in the dorm.

"That's true. It's about time to go eat. Let's go."

Perhaps after venting, the group members' moods temporarily recovered.

Meanwhile, after this incident, the teachers had no appetite whatsoever; they were currently gathered in a classroom discussing the Koenji Temple issue.

"We've already inquired, and it's true, as Kamio said, that it was Koenji who angered the boar, and he's already admitted it."

The homeroom teacher of Class 1-D, Sae Chabashira, looked very unhappy.

"Hmph, doing something like this, there's no other outcome than dropping out of school."

"Although the dangerous behavior was committed, strictly speaking, it did not violate school rules. Would it be inappropriate to expel the student directly?"

"Even if he didn't violate school rules, his behavior goes beyond the issue of whether or not school rules apply, doesn't it?"

"That's right. Even if he didn't violate school rules, he has already caused serious consequences. Expelling him is too lenient. He should be held accountable and made to compensate the victims!"

Did he himself say anything?

He said that doing something that involved others was an unseemly act, so he was willing to drop out of school to atone for his sins and to compensate the victims.

Chazhu sighed, looking like he had a headache.

……

The discussion in the classroom was still going on, but most people felt that Koenji, who had caused this trouble, should be expelled.

"Putting aside the matter of Koenji Temple, what should we do about this exam? Two students in the first-year group are seriously injured. Although they are not in life-threatening danger, it is clear that they cannot continue the exam."

Moreover, if the relay race continues in the wild, similar accidents may occur again, and someone might get injured again…

At this point, the teacher didn't say anything, but everyone understood what he meant.

"How about canceling the outdoor relay race? Even for the students' safety, it shouldn't continue."

"But there has never been a similar precedent before."

“Special cases require special treatment. Besides, after losing two students, the first-year group only has nine people left after excluding Koenji. Are you planning to make nine people run fifteen kilometers?”

"That's right, and witnessing such a horrific scene would probably have a psychological impact on them as well."

After a long discussion, the teachers present stopped talking and looked at the members of the examination committee.

"Hasegawa-sensei, what do you think?"

The man named Hasegawa, who looked to be about fifty years old, gave his answer after a moment of silence.

"The expulsion of Rokusuke Koenji from Class D of Year 1 has been processed, and his family can be notified now."

The exam content and rules remain unchanged. The exam will continue. The first-year Kamio group will consist of eleven members. If a student fails, the person in charge will be expelled. That's all.

"Mr. Hasegawa, isn't this a bit too harsh!"

The board immediately expressed its dissatisfaction with the verdict.

"Students may encounter all sorts of unexpected events after graduation, which will test their ability to cope with such events."

Hasegawa did not change his decision despite the dissatisfaction on the board, which only shows that the school remains as ruthless as ever.

"As for the two injured students, I have just received news that they are no longer in danger and their conditions have stabilized."

As for compensation, medical expenses go without saying, each person will receive five million personal points, or a one-time exemption from expulsion afterward.

The teachers present remained silent, but everyone knew that once the two of them were expelled, the five million would be completely useless.

As for waiving one expulsion penalty, this is essentially giving no personal compensation at all, because once this matter becomes known to others, it will become a class resource.

"These points can be exchanged for cash at a 1:1 ratio upon graduation or expulsion."

Hearing this, Majima Tomoya's expression remained grim. It was only five million yen, yet his student had almost died.

"They probably won't be able to take the exam this time, right?"

“That’s right, so they will still be buried alive with us,” Hasegawa said coldly. “Didn’t I tell you? Life is full of unexpected events.”

Is this reasonable?

This is certainly not reasonable.

Even after you start working, injuries sustained at work will be considered work-related injuries, which will not only provide compensation but also free rest days.

Of course, it's impossible for him to be dismissed during his recovery period.

However, this school is just so unreasonable and so inhumane.

In fact, this is not the first time someone has been injured at this school. It's just that this time the school failed to take proper measures, so the school has to bear some responsibility.

"I will report this to the chairman."

"it's up to you."

After leaving those words, Hasegawa departed from the classroom that had been serving as a makeshift meeting room.

Chapter 256 Ichinose, Don't Blame Me

After the afternoon classes ended, the students received news that the exam would proceed as scheduled, which disheartened many students, and some even privately expressed their intention to boycott the exam.

At the same time, the school also announced that Koenji had been expelled.

No one felt sorry for him; they just thought he was too dangerous and it would be better for him to drop out of school.

Without grieving for Koenji's withdrawal for even a second, the students threw themselves back into their studies and training.

The school also hired hunters from the mountains to drive away the wild boars and ensure that they would not be active in the next few days.

Because the school building was not large, the exams for the three grades were conducted separately and in alternating order.

The exam content was unsurprisingly the same: meditation, public speaking, road relay race, and written test.

However, because of what had happened before, the group members were somewhat distracted in their studies and training for the next few days.

Especially the two students in Class B, who were only slightly ahead of the other two students in the class, were naturally traumatized by the tragedy that happened right in front of them.

And so, the special exam, full of twists and turns, finally came to its final day.

The first-grade exams started with meditation, followed by a written test in the classroom, a road relay race, and finally a speech.

Second-year students are tested on a difficult start, beginning with a road relay race, while third-year students are tested on a speech.

After breakfast, all the first-year students went to the meditation hall. On the last day, not only was there no need to make breakfast, but there was also no need to clean. The students only needed to concentrate on the exam.

"Now, let's begin the meditation test. Pay attention to the rules and actions when you enter the meditation hall. Make sure your movements are correct when you sit in meditation."

Make sure you memorize everything taught in class. After meditation, stay in the classroom until the next exam is scheduled.

Because six groups were staying together this time, the environment on site was a bit messy.

Normally, students practice meditation in fixed small groups, allowing them to practice with familiar people. This practice by the school inevitably affects the students' mood to some extent.

One by one, the students in the group stepped forward to begin the exam. After a considerable amount of time, the first-year meditation session came to a complete end, and the students left the dojo under the guidance of the teachers to prepare for the next exam.

The second part was a written test. The test content was very simple; everything we learned at the forest school was used as the test questions.

Even for average students, scoring above 70 is a piece of cake.

However, since the two injured members of Kamio Tatsuya's group did not take the exam, everyone would need to score at least 80 points to pass.

However, at Tatsuya Kamio's behest, the remaining three members of the class didn't answer the questions very seriously.

As for the two from Class B, they are still somewhat dazed.

After the written test, it was time for the road relay race, which was 18 kilometers long. However, there were only 9 people in Kamio Tatsuya's team, so on average, each person covered 2 kilometers.

With the idea of ​​treating everyone equally, Tatsuya Kamio actually assigned two kilometers to each person.

This is clearly not a winning strategy. The correct approach would be to let people with good stamina, such as Ishizaki, Kamio, and Yamada, carry more of the distance.

However, Tatsuya Kamio never intended to win in the first place.

His initial idea was to cooperate with the class, let the students in the class go easy on him, and then make the average score fail, so as to take Koenji away by self-destruction.

After seeing his attribute values, Kamio Tatsuya had been thinking about how to get rid of him, and this exam just happened to give Kamio Tatsuya the opportunity.

Even when forming groups, Kamio Tatsuya managed to successfully include Koenji in the group.

He originally planned to have Ishizaki and the others submit blank papers to lower the scores, but unexpectedly, Nagumo approached Katsuragi at this time.

As a result, the class deliberately let the students down, causing Kamio's group to fail to achieve an average score, which led to Kamio Tatsuya being expelled from school.

Then he received 2000 million private points from Nagumo, a large portion of which belonged to Tatsuya Kamio.

Kamio Tatsuya took this opportunity to use a scapegoat to have either Yamauchi or Sudo from Class D drop out of school in his place.

He then used his authority as the person in charge to drag Gao Yuanji into the mess, forcing him to leave the scene.

Unexpectedly, Koenji insisted on causing trouble for the wild boars halfway through, and even provoked a group of wild boars.

This action left even Tatsuya Kamio speechless.

Some people even think that Koenji did it on purpose, seeing that the situation was beyond saving, so he made a big move to get himself out of the game.

However, Tatsuya Kamio felt that this was probably not Koenji's intention. Although the guy was mischievous, he never thought of involving others.

This doesn't align with his aesthetics.

Regardless of the inside story, Koenji is destined to take the blame.

His dropping out of school was a testament to Tatsuya Kamio's hard work.

It's just a pity for those two students in the class. They had a brush with death, and one of them was even bitten on the arm by a wild boar. The scar on his arm will probably stay with him for the rest of his life.

That's right. Although it was Koenji who caused the wild boar riot, it was Kamio Tatsuya who led the wild boar to the group!

However, he never expected it would cause such serious consequences.

The special exam, which lasted all day, finally came to an end at four o'clock in the afternoon.

After the exam, the boys changed their clothes and followed the instructions to the gymnasium. Soon after, the girls also gathered around one by one.

"During the eight days at the forest school, all of you students worked hard. Although the exam content may have been different, this was a special exam that only comes around once every few years."

Compared to the last special exam, the overall evaluation this time was much higher, mainly because everyone's teamwork was excellent.

That's what that guy, like the headmaster of a forest school, said.

"Next, I will announce the overall winner of the boys' group. I will only read out the name of the third-year leader here. The school will give points to the first to third-year students in the group as a reward in the future."

"The first place goes to the group led by Ninomiya from Class 3-C."

"Great!"

A cheer immediately erupted from Class C's camp, because this was Horikita Manabu's group, and the group leader for the first-year students was Kaneda.

Class C was naturally happy to have won first place.

"Second place, Class 3B - the group led by Ishikura."

Then the rankings were announced one by one, and Tatsuya Kamio's group unsurprisingly came in last place.

After announcing the results for the boys' group, the teacher on the podium continued in a deep voice: "In addition, there is something I regret to inform you."

One of the boys' groups had an accident, so their average score did not meet the school's requirements.

It's the Kamio group from the first year, and naturally, Kamio, as the leader, will be expelled.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the smaller group led by Tatsuya Kamio, and many students in Class 1-D even had their faces darken.

"Haha, serves you right, you've finally met your match!"

Suddenly, Yamauchi from Class 1-D jumped out, pointed at Tatsuya Kamio's face, and burst into laughter.
