I'm in a real religion, why are all the people who confess to me girls?

Da, da, da, da…

It's the sound of fingernails tapping on the table.

Ishida looked in the direction of the knocking sound.

When he saw Tianyin looking at him out of the corner of his eye, he felt his throat tighten for a moment.

Although he had never seen Amane active, he had heard from Katsuragi that Amane was a ruthless person who could suppress an entire class with violence alone. The entire class of Class B was played around like dogs by Amane, and Ishida himself saw with his own eyes how Amane knocked Kanzaki down with one punch.

The legendary deeds and witnessing Tianyin's absolute suppressive violence made Ishida feel fear in his heart.

Even though he knew Tianyin didn't dare to take action here, Tianyin's eyes were enough to scare him so much that his heartbeat began to accelerate violently, and even his breathing became irregular, and his chest felt like it was being pressed down by something.

Ishita knew, this was fear.

"I'm sorry, Karuizawa-san and everyone in Class D. I was a little proud just now and said something offensive. I hope Karuizawa-san and everyone in Class D can forgive my rudeness. I'm really sorry."

Ishida stood up and bowed in the direction of Class D.

Everyone looked at the strange scene in front of them in shock.

The students in Class A, who had been so arrogant just now, actually took the initiative to apologize to Class D. This was something they normally wouldn't even dare to think about.

clatter--.

The knocking stopped.

"Never happen again"

"Thank you so much"

Ishita sat down with a happy look on his face.

The depressing atmosphere in the room suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Karuizawa looked at Tianyin and found that Tianyin was also looking at her. She couldn't help but blush and lowered her head again.

If it weren't for her, Tianyin wouldn't have to declare her presence in this way.

If Tianyin hadn't helped her, how would she have been ridiculed?

"Since there is nothing else, the explanation will continue."

Teacher Mashima said nothing during the fight between the two sides.

It seemed like he already knew what the outcome would be, but since Amane's behavior did not constitute coercion or threat, Mashima-sensei had no way to say anything.

"The basic abilities required of people in society can be roughly divided into three categories. Action, Thinking, and Teamwork. Only those who possess these abilities can qualify as excellent adults. The previous uninhabited island exam focused on teamwork, but this time it is Thinking. This will be an exam that requires thinking ability. Thinking ability, in other words, is the ability to analyze the current situation and then clarify the topic, the ability to figure out the process of solving the problem and then prepare, and the ability to use creativity and create new value. You will need these in the future."

Although Mr. Mashima said that he would not answer any questions, he still briefly explained the school's starting point and the purpose of the exam. Everyone also knew that this was a special case for Karuizawa.

Teacher Mashima picked up the cup and took a sip of water. After moistening his throat, he continued speaking.

"For this exam, all first-year students will be divided into twelve groups. You are one of them. Your group's code name is "Snake". Because it is arranged according to the ten heavenly stems and twelve earthly branches, you can also call it the Si group."

Teacher Mashima glanced at everyone. Karuizawa seemed to want to say something, but because of the lesson just now, he forced himself to suppress the desire to ask questions.

Seeing that everyone understood this basic premise, Teacher Mashima handed four slightly crumpled pieces of paper related to the rules to the students of the four classes.

Because each class only has one copy, we all have to get together to look at it.

「Summer Group Special Examination Instructions」

This exam is a test that uses "favored candidates" randomly selected from each group as a benchmark.

If you answer the questions at the school using the prescribed method, you will definitely get one of the four results.

(1) The school will select the favored students from each group by drawing playing cards one day before the exam. The identities of the favored students will not be immediately known.

(2) The examination schedule is from tomorrow until : p.m. four days later, including one completely free day.

(3) Team members must gather in a designated room twice a day at designated times and have a one-hour discussion.

(4) The discussion content is entirely decided by the group itself.

(5) Regarding the answer section, after the exam, the school will only accept answers to the question "Who is the one who received preferential treatment?" between : p.m. and p.m. on the same day. Each person may answer the question only once.

(6) The school only accepts students using their own mobile phones to send emails to the designated mailbox to answer the questions.

(7) “Privileged candidates” do not have the right to send their answers by email.

(8) All responses to groups other than the one to which you belong will be considered invalid.

(9) The school will inform all students of the detailed examination results by email at : pm on the last day.

These things are written prominently on the paper as basic rules. The paper also records more subtle matters, such as explanations of the rules or prohibitions.

Compared with the uninhabited island test, this time there are more regulations and detailed precautions.

Then what follows are four results regarding the favored.

Result 1: If everyone answers correctly, except for the favored students in the group and the students in the favored students' class, the school will pay all team members personal points, with a total of 500,000 points, and the favored students will get double the points.

Result 2: Except for the favored student and the students in his class, if any member of the group does not answer or answers incorrectly, the school will pay the favored student 500,000 personal points.

Result 3: If someone other than the favored students tells the school the answer in advance without waiting for the end of the exam, and the answer is correct, the class to which the student belongs will receive 50 class points, and the school will pay the person who gives the correct answer 500,000 personal points.

On the contrary, the class whose identity as the preferential treatment is discovered will be punished by deducting fifty class points.

The group exam will end at this point, and if students in the same class as the favored students answer correctly, the school will consider their answers invalid and continue with the exam.

Result 4: If someone other than the favored students tells the school the answer in advance without waiting for the end of the test, and gives an incorrect answer, the class to which the student who gave the wrong answer belongs will be punished by losing fifty class points.

When the beneficiary obtains 500,000 personal points, the class to which the beneficiary belongs will also obtain 50 class points.

The exam will end when the wrong answer is given. If the students in the same class as the preferential student give the wrong answer, their answers will be considered invalid and will not be accepted.

The four results left most of the people present confused, and many wanted to ask Mr. Mashima questions about their inner doubts.

But because of the previous experience of Karuizawa, everyone was hesitating and wanted to see who would be the first to step forward.

After reading the rules, Tianyin exchanged seats with Hasebe and sat next to Karuizawa. Hasebe and others were still struggling to understand the content.

"Mei, do you understand?"

Tianyin suddenly asked, startling Karuizawa who was in deep thought.

"Almost..."

"How much is left?"

"I'm sorry, I don't understand the content of this exam and the results at all. Could you please tell me what I need to do?"

Karuizawa glanced at Mr. Mashima who had a stern face, and finally chose to ask Tianyin for advice.

"No problem. This special exam is quite simple. We will use playing cards to draw a person called the Favored Person, but we won't tell him who the Favored Person is yet. Let everyone guess. Starting tomorrow, the special exam will last for four days. Three of them will require us to go to a designated room and discuss twice a day for one hour each day to discuss who the Favored Person is. The other day is a day off. Do you understand this part?"

Tianyin has simplified the selection process and examination time.

Karuizawa nodded. She could understand things of this level relatively quickly.

After seeing that Karuizawa understood, Tianyin continued to speak.

"Then I will continue. The core purpose of the entire exam is to find the favored person, so the final answer also revolves around who answers the question. First of all, the favored person cannot answer the question by herself, and the students in her class cannot answer the question either, otherwise the answer will be invalid. Finally, it is related to the time of answering the question, which leads to four results."

Tianyin glanced at Karuizawa.

Karuizawa puffed up his cheeks cutely.

"Tianyin, don't look down on me like that! I can understand this, but please continue. It's just that the results and stuff are making my head swell."

Karuizawa held his head and made a painful expression.

Seeing this, Tianyin continued to explain.

"There are two types of answers based on the time of answering. One is according to the prescribed time, which is between 9:30 and 10:00 pm on the day after the test. In this way, you can complete results one and two. The other type is that you can answer questions at any time, which will complete results three and four."

Tianyin placed the phone on the table, opened the note and typed quickly.

"Result one is that if everyone guesses the answer to the question and answers it within the stipulated time, everyone will get 500,000 personal points, and the one who gets the preferential treatment will get 1,000,000 points."

As soon as Tianyin finished speaking, she heard a cry of surprise beside her.

"One million points? Can't I buy a lot of clothes?"

Karuizawa's answer made many people look at her with contempt and disgust, but no one dared to stand up and say anything.

Karuizawa also knew that he had lost his composure and quickly lowered his head. At this moment, Karuizawa felt as if something was holding his hand.

Look down.

Tianyin held her hand with one hand, and quickly pressed the buttons on the phone with the other hand.

"Result two is that if a fool guesses the wrong person during the test, the person will have 500,000 personal points added to his or her score. This is the biggest loss, but there are so many fools that it's a real headache."

"Results three and four have the same logic as results one and two, except that the answers are not given within the test time. If you guess correctly, you will be awarded 50 class points and 500,000 personal points. If you guess incorrectly, 50 class points will be deducted and the other party will add 50 class points and give the preferential treatment 500,000 personal points. Result four is the worst result."

Tianyin looked around the room after he finished speaking.

I noticed that many people were looking at Tianyin, and they were also taking notes while listening to the lecture.

I looked up at Mr. Mashima again. There was both relief and... nostalgia in his eyes?

Tianyin felt a little confused. She shouldn't have a problem reading emotions from eyes, but this time she actually read nostalgia from Mashima-sensei's eyes...

Maybe it’s because I didn’t sleep well in the afternoon.

"Tianyin's explanation is very correct, but I would like to add one more point here, which is the special rules."

Mashima-sensei said as he took out another piece of paper.

Tianyin curled her lips. She didn't expect that Teacher Mashima would use this kind of trick and even hide a trick on purpose.

Teacher Mashima ignored Amane's mischievous look and began to explain the special rules.

"Based on the basic rules, this special exam has added special rules. The poker cards for selecting the favored are A, 2, 3, 4, and so on, from small to large, up to K, thirteen cards in total, and two additional cards, Big Devil and Little Devil, are added, for a total of fifteen cards, including the number card of the favored identity. After the number card that symbolizes the favored is drawn, the school will inform the favored person of his or her identity after the break."

As Mr. Mashima said this, he shuffled a bunch of cards and placed them face up on the table.

"Each of you come forward and draw a card. After checking it yourself, I will determine whether the preferential card has been drawn. If the preferential card has not been drawn, draw again."

After Mr. Mashima finished speaking, he pointed to the deck of cards. Everyone stepped forward, drew a card, looked at the number on it, and showed it to Mr. Mashima. Tianyin drew a devil card.

According to Tianyin's analysis, it is basically impossible for the big and small ghosts to be the favored ones, otherwise the favored ones would be too easy to guess.

"The results of this draw are valid. Next, there is a student who draws the joker. I will specifically explain the special effects of the joker. The big and small jokers have different abilities. The big joker can double the rewards for result one and result two, and the small joker can double the rewards and penalties for result three and result four."

Upon hearing this, Tianyin looked at the big joker card thrown on the deck and felt sorry for it.

That is to say, if there is a big joker card, as long as the conditions of result one are met, everyone can get 1 million personal points, and the preferential treatment recipients can get 2 million points. Isn't that great?

Pity.

She got the Imp card.

"In addition, if the Big and Small Joker cards are drawn at the same time, they will be awarded a "Particularly Useful Clue to the Beneficiary" note that can be drawn once after the discussion each day. This note can help the Big Joker card holder find the beneficiary. If you are lucky, you can directly draw a note with the beneficiary's name written on it. In addition, the Big and Small Joker card holders can each draw once."

"Isn't this cheating?"

Ji Ye couldn't help but complain. If the name of the favored person is drawn directly, it can be said that if the people holding the big and small joker cards appear at the same time, they will have the initiative. It will be drawn once at the end of the day, excluding the day of rest, which means three times. If there are two people, it will be six times. Even if you have bad luck, you can guess who it is based on the information, right?

"No, this is the rule. If you draw only one of them, the effect will be very poor. When the big ghost or small card is drawn alone, you can draw intelligence strips twice a day. The content of the intelligence covers a wide range. Basically, it depends on luck."

Teacher Mashima's expression also became strange, and he seemed unwilling to say more details, which made Tianyin curious.

Isn't she the little ghost who took it? She can draw intelligence twice a day. With Tianyin's ability, it must be foolproof!

"What are the contents of the intelligence report? Could you give me an example?"

Seeing Tianyin's respectful look, Teacher Mashima was a little uncomfortable for a moment.

"It's probably information like the weather is good today, and there's also a note with the name of the person being treated well, but... it depends on luck."

"Eh?"

What kind of information is this: the weather is nice today? Is this special exam serious?

Chapter 277: The lamb that comes to the door is not rejected

The gap between the "particularly useful clues about the favored person" and the "slip of intelligence" was so big that Tianyin didn't know where to start complaining.

The condition for particularly useful clues about the favored person to appear is that everyone who draws the big and small joker cards is present, and after all the discussions are over each day, intelligence clues that are definitely related to the favored person will be given, and each holder of the big and small joker cards will draw one piece of information.

That is to say, including the last day, the holders of the big and small joker cards can draw a total of six clues related to the preferential treatment recipient, which basically determines who the preferential treatment recipient is, not to mention the intelligence clues with the preferential treatment recipient's name directly written on them. If such information is known by the holder of the joker card, especially if it is drawn by the holder of the small joker card, and the holder is not a classmate of the class, then the entire special exam will basically be declared over immediately.

Under the temptation of double rewards and double penalties in results three and four, no member of his class could endure it. He would definitely choose to directly answer the question about who the preferential treatment is and then finish the special exam to win.
