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

After his facial recognition was verified, Tatsuya Kamio successfully logged into the system.

This user-friendly system was so easy that almost no one would make a mistake, and soon all the students in the class were connected to it.

"I presume you've all successfully logged in by now. Aside from the first login being slightly troublesome, you won't need to log in again to use O."

"As for the software itself, it is essentially a small database that stores student information, containing data on all students currently enrolled."

O's interface is very simple; the homepage only shows twelve classes arranged sequentially from first to third grade.

After Tatsuya Kamio clicked the button for the second-year class, the facial photos and names of a total of forty students were displayed in the order of the Japanese syllabary (hiragana and katakana).

Tatsuya Kamio's name was naturally among them.

2- Tatsuya Kamio

First Year Results

Academic ability (93)

Physical abilities (89)

Flexible thinking ability (90)

Social contribution (90)

Comprehensive ability (91)

Upon seeing this data, Tatsuya Kamio raised an eyebrow. Wasn't this evaluation a bit too high?

In class, his data was simply outstanding, making him stand out from the rest of the class.

What about the other classes?

Kamio Tatsuya left Class B's data and opened Class B's data. As expected, Ichinose was at the top of the list.

2-B Honami Ichinose

First Year Results

Academic ability (86)

Physical ability C (54)

Flexible thinking ability B (70)

Social contribution + (96)

Comprehensive ability B (74)

Afterwards, Kamio Tatsuya looked at the students with the highest overall ability scores in Class C and Class B. In Class C, it was not Sakayanagi Arisu, but Katsuragi Kohei, whose overall ability score was B (73).

Sakayanagi's score is only 66. There's nothing we can do about it; that poor kid's physical ability is D-, only 25 points.

However, Kamio Tatsuya was somewhat skeptical. Could that guy who needed a cane to walk really have 25 points?

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she's disabled. How exactly was this score calculated?

How about we just give a zero?

As for Class D...

The highest overall ability score was given to Yosuke Hirata with 78 points, grade B+, followed by Kikyo Kushida with 74 points, grade B.

Kamio Tatsuya scored 91 points, the only one in the entire grade.

It all seemed very strange. Although he didn't know where the data came from, Tatsuya Kamio always felt that Nagumo was deliberately messing with him.

However, Kamio Tatsu quickly found the statistical and calculation methods for these four data items and the comprehensive data, which can be found in the data viewing interface.

Academic ability – primarily calculated from the scores of written exams held throughout the year.

Physical ability – calculated from evaluations of physical education classes, activity in clubs, and special exams.

Flexible thinking ability – This is calculated based on factors such as the number of friends, interpersonal status, communication skills, and the ability to use wit, which determine one's ability to adapt to society.

Social contribution – calculated from various factors including class attitude, tardiness and absence, as well as whether there are any problem behaviors, affiliation with the student council and contributions to the school.

Comprehensive ability – the student's ability derived from the above four values, but only social contribution has half the impact on comprehensive ability.

※Specific method for calculating comprehensive ability:

(Academic ability + Physical ability + Flexible thinking ability + Social contribution × 0.5) ÷ 350 × 100 Calculate the result (round the result to the nearest whole number).

"The data shown here is based on your performance over the past year, but it is not static."

If you demonstrate new achievements in your future school life, you will receive a new evaluation. These evaluations will be updated at the beginning of each month, similar to class points.

Last year, Tatsuya Kamio excelled in both written exams and sports, and his academic ability propelled him to the top of his class in the final exams.

In terms of athletics, he was the best athlete at last year's games, but according to the data, his strength was not top-notch, so he only received 89 points.

Even so, it was still outrageous. After checking the data for the second grade, Kamio Tatsuya almost flipped through the data for the third grade as well.

Nagumo's overall strength is only at the - level, with a score of only 84.

Ugh, this bastard is putting me on the hot seat.

However, there was another person who surprised Tatsuya Kamio: Kiryuin Fuuka, a student in Class 3-B. Although her social contributions and thinking were incredibly strong, her academic and athletic abilities were both rated as "+"!

Is this guy really human?

Chapter 296 Kamio Tatsuya: I protest!

After reading through the O rating criteria, Tatsuya Kamio finally understood why Sakayanagi's physical ability was 25.

This is because this data was randomly assigned to her based on the lowest level of the entire grade.

After all, no one can really give her a physical examination.

"There are probably some of you who are not satisfied with this data, but it is you who left these results, so please don't complain."

However, these data are just things of the past. As long as you work hard to improve your evaluation, the data will change at the beginning of the following month, just like the class points.

For example, Ishizaki, your academic performance evaluation for the past year was 34 points, a D. However, if you get a perfect score on the next exam, your academic performance evaluation will be updated to a D or + in the second month after the exam results are released.

A burst of laughter erupted.

How could Ishizaki possibly get a perfect score? It's simply impossible.

"Next are the evaluation criteria for each score."

While the teacher was introducing these contents on the board, Tatsuya Kamio had already compared the scores with the corresponding ratings.

All students are divided into five levels, from -E, with each level spanning 20 points, for example, level 81-100.

其中81-85是-，86-95是，96以上则是+。

Currently, the highest score across all categories belongs to Sudo from Class D, with 96 points, making him the only one in the entire first-year class to receive a +.

While Sudo may not be as fast as Tatsuya Kamio, he is no less powerful, and being a member of the basketball club should give him an advantage in that regard.

This made Kamio Tatsuya even more suspicious of one thing: that his score had been deliberately inflated by someone, and the mastermind behind it all was undoubtedly Nagumo or Tsukishiro.

In contrast, the lowest scores among all the data are for Sudo and Ryuen's social contributions, which are surprisingly at the same level, E+, one at 18 and the other at 19.

This shows that these two have serious problems. After all, the evaluation criteria for social contribution are there for all to see, so it's true that the elder brother doesn't laugh at the younger brother.

While the data above is fairly accurate, it also has many shortcomings.

However, it's not bad as reference data.

After seeing the actual object, Kamio Tatsuya roughly understood what Nagumo wanted to do.

He once said that letting capable students climb to the top and letting those without ability fall to the bottom would turn the school into a true meritocratic school.

Could it be that this system is used for screening?

After introducing the O system, the board immediately began explaining the details of this special exam.

"Next, I will explain the outline of the special exam. This will be your first special exam after you move up to the second year, and the content will be different from the previous ones."

As requested by Acting Chairman Tsukishiro, you will be required to take a joint written test in pairs with first-year students.

They were paired up with first-graders.

Tatsuya Kamio and Ryuen exchanged a glance; they had indeed guessed correctly.

Many students in the class were also surprised, because excluding the sports festival and the training camp exam, this was the first time they had teamed up with other grades for an exam.

Although the sports festival and training camp are combined with the upperclassmen, everyone basically does not interfere with each other.

But this time, the situation seems a little different, because it's a written test.

What exactly does Yuecheng want to do?

"Taking a joint written test with first-year students... It's only been a week since the new semester started, and we hardly know any first-year students."

Someone in the class immediately complained, and what they said was true.

but……

"Idiot, that's why the teacher on the board introduced this system called O to us first, right?"

Doesn't that table show the academic abilities of students in other grades? I think that will be key to passing the exam this time.

Some students realized the truth and were very excited. After their explanation, the other students also seemed to understand.

Hmm, these guys still need to improve their basic skills.

But that's a story for another time. The most pressing issue right now is this special exam.

"This special exam assesses both written test and communication skills. At this point, I don't think I need to emphasize the importance of the written test again."

However, in terms of communication, the school only allows you to have in-depth exchanges with other grades during the sports festival and forest training camp.

The rest of the time, you will basically only interact with students from other grades through clubs and the student council.

This is precisely why the school determined that the student's communication skills might be lacking, hence this exam.

I see. Tatsuya Kamio understands.

Because no matter what, these students will have to work after they enter society, regardless of whether they graduate from the class or not.

Regardless of the job you choose, communication skills are essential. If you lack communication skills when you join a company as a new employee, you will not be able to establish yourself in the new environment.

"You can think of this special exam as similar to the Pper Shffle exam from last year, except that you have a lot more freedom this time and can decide on your own partners."

"The exam period includes today and will last for about two weeks until the end of the month. During this time, you need to study hard and choose a partner, so please manage your time reasonably."

"On the day of the exam, there will be a written test in five subjects, each worth 100 points, for a total of 500 points. Regarding the most important rules... there are two types of competitions prepared this time—competitions at the class level and competitions at the individual level."

To help students understand better, the teacher on the board seemed to have prepared in advance, as he operated the screen at the front of the classroom to display the results of the exam.

First, there's a competition between classes, which is almost the same as before. The reward is calculated based on the average score of the students in the class, with the first to fourth place receiving 50, 30, 20, and 0 class points respectively.

Looking at the score bonuses ranging from a maximum of fifty points to a minimum of zero points, Tatsuya Kamio's lips twitched slightly. What the hell is this?

You have the nerve to offer a reward of fifty points? The difference between Class A and Class B is more than fifty points!

The resources the school prepares for each special exam are basically fixed. If there are fewer resources for first and second graders, it means that the rewards for third graders must be very generous.

That bastard, he's inhuman!

Next comes the individual competition, or rather, the group matches.

The top five teams in total score will each receive hundreds of thousands of private points as a special reward.

The first 30% of pairings will each receive 10,000 private points.

For groups with a total score below 500, second-year students will be expelled, and first-year students will not have their class points added to their personal points for the next three months, regardless of how many class points they maintain.

Students deemed by the school to have deliberately answered questions incorrectly, manipulated or lowered their scores will be expelled and will be unable to use their points for assistance.

Students who are forced to take a low-scoring test will also be expelled and will not be able to use their points for assistance.

Upon seeing this, Tatsuya Kamio knew that the second-year students had fallen behind from the very beginning because of the rule: second-year students would be expelled from groups with scores below 500, and first-year students would not have their personal points transferred for three months.

This punishment is completely unequal, and the consequences of this unequal punishment are quite obvious.

It doesn't matter if a first-year student with low academic ability can't find a second-year student with high academic ability to team up with, because the punishment is just not getting points for three months.

For second-year students with lower academic abilities, the only way to survive this exam is to team up with outstanding first-year students.

This alone is enough to make second-grade students hesitant to act, regardless of their academic ability.

While students with higher academic qualifications don't need to worry about being expelled, if their classmates are expelled, the class will lose points, which is also not a good thing.

Therefore, this exam requires consideration not only of oneself but also of one's classmates.
