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

However, apart from Ibuki, I really don't recognize any of the other people.

"However, I understand your confusion, and I will now explain the points that you have questions about."

First and foremost, as a general premise, for this exam, you will disregard the relationship between Class D and Class D, and from now on, you will act as Rabbit Group, not as Class D.

Let me make it clear beforehand: this will be a shortcut to passing the exam, and whether you pass or fail will be determined by each of you in your respective groups.

Ignoring the relationship between Class 1 and Class D?

How could this be ignored? For students who wanted to graduate from their class, all the other classes were enemies; it was impossible to ignore them.

However, Ms. Majima also said that ignoring the relationship between Class D and Class D would be a shortcut to the exam, and as a teacher, she certainly couldn't lie in such an exam-related situation.

So, is there another way to interpret this statement?

"Each group in the special exam will have only four possible outcomes. The exam is designed so that it will definitely result in one of the four outcomes, with no exceptions. To make it easier for you to understand, the school has also prepared materials listing the outcomes. However, these materials are also prohibited from being taken out or photographed, so please make sure to check them carefully beforehand."

Taking the paper from Ms. Mashima, Tatsuya Kamio began to read it carefully.

【Summer Group Special Examination Instructions】

This exam uses the "favored students" assigned to each group as the benchmark. If you submit the exam to the school using the prescribed method, you will definitely receive one of the four results.

The rules written above are very detailed, probably the result of many trials.

However, the content itself is not actually that complicated.

The general situation is as follows: The school will select one "preferential recipient" from each group, and will notify them by text message at 8:00 AM tomorrow.

The exam will be held on the first, second, and fourth days of the next four days. The exam will end at 9 PM on the fourth day.

During these three days, from 13 PM to 14 PM and from 20 PM to 21 PM each day, you must gather in the designated room as required to discuss the exam.

There are no restrictions on the content of the discussion.

Regarding the answer section, you can only send a text message to the school between 9:30 pm and 10 pm after the exam to answer 'Who is the preferential treatment recipient?'

Furthermore, each person can only answer the questions once, and cannot change their answers. They can only answer questions from their own group, and the person receiving the preferential treatment has no right to send their answers.

In addition, it was stated that only one's own mobile phone could be used to answer the questions.

As for the final results, the school will send them to each student via text message at 11 p.m. on the fourth night.

In addition to these basic rules, the paper also records more detailed information, such as explanations of the rules or prohibited items.

Then, what follows are those four predetermined "outcomes".

This is also the part that Tatsuya Kamio is most looking forward to.

Result 1: If all group members answer correctly, except for the privileged members within the group and students belonging to the privileged class, the school will pay all group members 500,000 personal points. Students in the privileged class will each receive the same number of personal points, and the privileged member will receive double the personal points.

Result 2: Apart from the privileged members within the group and students belonging to the privileged class, if any member of the group fails to answer or provides an incorrect answer, the school will pay the privileged member 500,000 personal points.

This is it!

When Kamio Tatsuya looked at Result 1, he couldn't take his eyes off it. If a group... no, if all the groups got Result 1, then each person could get at least 500,000 private points.

There are 160 students in the whole grade, that's a huge sum of 8000 million!

If we include the additional 50 bonus for the 12 beneficiaries, then it would be 8600 million!

Thinking about this, even Tatsuya Kamio couldn't help but feel a little excited. It's almost impossible for someone to get a huge number of points from the school.

However, it would be much easier to obtain that many points from students!

President Horikita and Senior Nagumo weren't lying to me after all!

"Wait... what on earth is written here?"

Just as Kamio Tatsuya was secretly excited, Karuizawa's painful groan came from the side. It seemed that the densely written rules were really too cumbersome for her.

"That's why I said it's a guy with a bad head..."

Yukimura, who was standing to the side, felt a little annoyed when he heard Karuizawa's words. This guy must be treating Karuizawa as a burden.

"There is only one key point in this exam, which is the existence of the privileged person. The name of this privileged person is the answer to the exam. For example... if Yukimura is chosen as the privileged person, then the answer for the Rabbit Team is 'Yukimura'."

After that, all you need to do is share the answers with all your group members. The exam ends at 9 p.m. on the third day after the exam. The school will only accept answers between 9:30 p.m. and 10 p.m., so all your group members just need to write "Yukimura" and send the letter to the school.

In this way, you will achieve Result One, and all group members will receive a reward of 500,000 personal points. Additionally, as a bonus for leading the group to Result One, the school will pay the recipient 1 million personal points.

"One million?! That's amazing!"

Karuizawa Kei immediately exclaimed excitedly, and even Yukimura was somewhat excited.

It's understandable, since Class D has always been troubled by the cost of living. If they could get these points, they wouldn't have to worry about their living expenses for at least a year.

"Next is result two... If the beneficiary does not tell anyone about this, or induces everyone to choose a fake beneficiary, and the true identity is not exposed until the end of the exam, then as the information states, only the beneficiary will be awarded 500,000 personal points."

Upon hearing this, Tatsuya Kamio roared inwardly, determined to prevent this outcome!

Do not!

At this point, failing to achieve result one would be a complete failure!

Kamio Tatsuya is determined to get this result, and then find a way to reclaim the students' private points and complete the class transfer!

From then on, birds could fly freely in the sky, and fish could leap freely in the sea!

But this seemingly wonderful outcome might not be so easy to achieve, right?

Before explaining outcomes three and four, let me ask you a question... Have you ever played the Werewolf game?

Werewolf, I'm familiar with it. I was quite obsessed with it for a while in my past life.

Ayanokouji, who was standing to the side, wanted to say something, but after seeing Kamio Tatsuya nod, he swallowed his words.

"As I just explained, there will only be one privileged individual in the group. If the privileged individual's identity is revealed prematurely, there will be new third and fourth possible outcomes. Now please check the back of the document."

Only the following two results will be accepted for submission at any time during the 24 hours of the exam.

In addition, answers will also be accepted during the 30-minute period after the exam ends (9:00 to 9:30).

However, regardless of the time period, anyone who answers incorrectly will be punished.

Result 3: If someone other than the privileged student gives the correct answer to the school before 9:30 pm on the last day of the exam, the class to which the student belongs will receive 50 class points, and the school will pay the person who gave the correct answer 500,000 personal points.

Furthermore, any class whose preferential treatment is discovered will be penalized by having 50 class points deducted. The group exam will end at this point.

If a classmate of a student receiving preferential treatment answers correctly, the school will consider the answer invalid and continue the exam.

Result 4: If someone other than a privileged student gives the school the answer before 9:30 pm on the day the exam ends, and the answer is wrong, the class to which the student who gave the wrong answer belongs will be penalized by losing 50 class points.

In addition to receiving 500,000 personal points, the class to which the recipient belongs will also receive 50 class points. The exam will end when the wrong answer is made.

If a classmate of a student receiving preferential treatment answers incorrectly, their answer will be considered invalid and will not be accepted.

Damn, I knew achieving the desired result wouldn't be so simple, and it turns out that's exactly what happened!

But it's okay, it's time for the relationships I've cultivated over the years to come in handy!

Chapter 134 Let's be frank, I want to achieve the following result

Just as Tatsuya Kamio was pondering how to persuade everyone to go to Result 1, Mr. Majima started speaking again.

However, Tatsuya Kamio's attention was no longer on this topic at the moment. He only roughly knew that he was talking about the results of the exam. The school would only announce the results of each group and would not announce the names of the students who received preferential treatment, or the students who guessed the names of the students who received preferential treatment correctly or incorrectly.

"Results three and four are different from the other two, which is why they are written on the back. That concludes the instructions for this exam."

Then, Tatsuya Kamio immediately raised his hand, indicating that he had something to say.

"please say."

"One of the rules is that students must be dismissed immediately after the final exam and are prohibited from talking to students from other classes for a certain period of time; those who violate this rule will be expelled. How long is this 'certain period of time'?"

Majima Tomoya glanced at Kamio Tatsuya, seemingly understanding his meaning, but unfortunately, how could the school not have considered this?

"The exam will end at 9 p.m. on the fourth day. For the hour that follows, from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m., students from other classes will not be allowed to communicate with each other."

Upon hearing this, Tatsuya Kamio showed a regretful expression. As expected, achieving the desired result was not so simple.

"Starting tomorrow, you will all need to go to the rooms designated by the school at 1 PM and 8 PM for one-hour discussions. Each room will have a sign with your group name on it."

When you first meet, please be sure to introduce yourselves in the room.

Once inside the room, leaving the room during exam time is generally not permitted. Therefore, please use the restroom before going in. If you are unable to use the restroom or feel unwell, please contact your class advisor immediately and request assistance.

"Finally, to ensure the fairness of this exam, the school will make serious adjustments to the preferential treatment in the group."

Regardless of whether you are selected as a recipient of preferential treatment or not, we will not process any requests for changes. Furthermore, copying, forwarding, or altering any mail sent from the school is strictly prohibited.

If there are no further questions, you may all leave now.

After Majima-sensei finished speaking, Karuizawa immediately slipped away without saying goodbye, leaving the room as if there was something terrifying inside.

After the other three left the room, Yukimura immediately struck up a conversation with Tatsuya Kamio.

"Kamio, did you ask that question to achieve result one?"

"That's right, if the ban on communication wasn't too long, we could have deliberately revealed the privileged individuals' identities after 9:30, and then everyone could have reached result one together. Unfortunately..."

Unfortunately, communication was prohibited until 10 PM, after which no answers were accepted. By then, even if you learned the name of the student receiving preferential treatment from students in other classes, it would be meaningless.

As for the option of revealing one's privileged status before communication is prohibited... don't even think about it, you'll get betrayed.

If there are 12 to 14 people in a group, who can guarantee that everyone wants to achieve result one?

Ban suffered such a great loss on the deserted island; if he were to confirm Ban's status as a privileged individual, he would undoubtedly choose to betray him without hesitation.

Moreover, even if someone reveals it themselves, there's no way to confirm that what they're saying is true, unless they show everyone the text message sent by the school together, then it wouldn't be credible.

But this leads to another dead end—someone might betray you.

So from this perspective, this exam is quite troublesome.

However, Majima-sensei's last words are hard not to make one think.

The privileged members within the group will be subject to serious adjustments.

Isn't this just like a brand name telling students that there's a pattern to the selection of these preferential recipients?

For Tatsuya Kamio, this was the most terrifying thing ever!

With twelve groups, and given the school's usual practice, the privileged students will definitely be distributed equally, meaning each class will have three privileged students.

It's extremely difficult for the three preferential treatment recipients to fall into the hands of Tatsuya Kamio.

To understand the selection pattern of those receiving preferential treatment, one must at least know who the preferential treatment recipients are in the group; otherwise, there is no reference value whatsoever.

So how likely is it that Tatsuya Kamio would know who the class's special treatment recipient is?

The answer is—almost zero.

However, since Katsuragi's defeat, Sakayanagi's control over Ban has increased dramatically.

Tatsuya Kamio even suspected that the white-haired loli would know about the class's privileged student by 8:01 a.m. tomorrow.

Moreover, given her intelligence and calculation abilities, she will likely soon be able to figure out the pattern for selecting those who receive preferential treatment.

Then, in order to boost the confidence of her students and incidentally demoralize the other three classes, she would definitely end the exam early.

Therefore, if Kamio wants to achieve result one, he must get all four classes to reach a consensus before 8:00 AM tomorrow. He doesn't have much time left!

With that in mind, Tatsuya Kamio took out his phone and sent a message to Ryuen.

What time will your presentation be?

【8:40, is there a problem?】

8:40?

Was it around the same time as Horikita and Sakayanagi?

It's nothing. I plan to ensure everyone achieves result one in this exam.

[I see. This is indeed a good opportunity to earn points. I will cooperate with you as needed.]

Having received Ryuen's promise, Tatsuya Kamio felt slightly relieved.

Just then, a door to a room opened, and Ichinose from Class B came out with two unfamiliar students.

"Ichinose, I have something I'd like to talk to you about regarding the exam. I wonder if you're free?"

Upon hearing Tatsuya Kamio's words, the survivors nearby couldn't help but speak up.

"Kamio, do you have something on your mind?"

“That’s right. If all goes well, we can decide the tone of the exam tonight.” Kamio Tatsuya’s tone was relaxed. “I’m going to talk to Ichinose. You can come along if you want.”
