Real teaching, hypocritical gray life

In other words, if one student in our class drops out, the remaining students who cannot form a partner will have to fight alone. Not only do they need to reach the minimum score of 60 in each subject, but the total score must not be less than 700 points. The average of the eight subjects can only be deducted by 8 points at most.

Ichinose is probably the only one in the class who can do this...

“So everyone in the class is important.”

Teacher Hoshinomiya showed a cute smile rarely seen in a mature woman, and these words also made the students feel relieved.

"Fortunately, we have passed all the exams so far without any problems."

“I hope we can continue walking together like this.”

"........."

As they shouted one sentence after another, Ichinose who was standing in front of me seemed to have made some kind of decision.

Although I don’t think this is a good thing, this is also the charm of Ichinose’s personality.

..........

Maybe that's it.

Through the window, the osmanthus flowers are still blooming in November...

"Luo Jun, how do you think we should view this exam?"

At the end of the last class meeting of the day, Ichinose turned around and asked me.

After the special exam chapter named [Paper Shuffle] was published, we each spent a long time thinking. During this time, Ichinose wrote in his notebook, probably having come to his own conclusion, and Kanzaki beside him was also moving faster than usual.

Surrounded by both and not moving at all, I seemed out of place.

Therefore, even if Ichinose did not ask me, it would not affect the general direction of the situation. What Ichinose failed to consider would be supplemented by Kanzaki, and the abilities of the two of us can complement each other to a certain extent.

[Class A and Class D each have a person behind them.]

This is basically news that all classes can confirm.

If you want to continue hiding your identity now, what should you do?

There are only two answers.

The first is the same as always. Even if the actions behind the scenes are clearly known to others, no personal identification information will be left.

For this choice, I should pay special attention to Sakayanagi from Class B. Although I don't know why I have attracted her attention, there is no doubt that the current situation confirms that I have been classified as one of the candidates behind the scenes.

The second is to stop. Now is the last time to stop, and the previous actions can still be regarded as class ability.

But how to do it specifically?

I glanced at the girl in front of me who was still staring at me.

Creating distance between myself and Ichinose?

No, that would only arouse suspicion from others and bring trouble.

From now on, I need to continue to send students like Kanzaki who can provide advice to Ichinose, so that this class will have the ability to move forward independently even without my help.

Only by doing this can I slowly let go of my thoughts.

However, it is clear that the stage has not yet come where the class can be allowed to act independently.

Before that time comes, perhaps I can train Ichinose to listen to the suggestions of his classmates.

Ichinose might have been able to collect suggestions in previous exams, but she herself has her own stubborn values, which are a force that is difficult to resist.

If you are not careful, you risk being assimilated.

After hesitating for a moment, I finally decided to answer her questions as usual.

"Anyway, if we follow Mr. Hoshinomiya's last explanation, there won't be any problem. The passing score for each subject or the passing score for the total score are very low, so we can ignore the punishment of expulsion. But if we want to win over other classes, we must raise the corresponding total score."

"The most difficult part is setting the questions. Both the preparation of the questions and the answers and the [attacks] that the other party will give us are difficult points. The most difficult part is the person who sets the questions. The more eccentric their personality is, the more difficult the questions they set. Even if the answers are the same, the correct rate will vary greatly depending on the question."

"Hum, everyone in the class should have no problem with their academic ability, but setting questions is still a bit difficult. After all, we have no experience in setting questions..."

Ichinose placed his hands on my desk and used them as support for his chin.

Now she is pouting in front of me without any defense, which is very touching. This kind of cuteness is hard to resist and makes people want to touch her. At least I am trying hard to suppress my restless hands.

I took a deep breath and tried my best to clear my mind and bring my awareness back to this special exam.

So far, we have survived all the special exams that required class unity, and our performances have been so impressive that we can’t help but praise them, but we still need to pay attention to all parties.

This special exam is probably a little less difficult than the uninhabited island survival exam. If the uninhabited island survival exam and the sports festival test the physical strength and skills that are trained day by day, then [Paper Shuffle] tests the academic ability accumulated on a daily basis.

So, judging from the results, what we need to do in this exam is very simple.

Constantly improve your learning ability and question setting ability.

The more you improve your knowledge and problem-solving thinking, the more you can improve the overall score of the class. Helping students who fail the course is not a problem that we students in Class A need to consider at all. After all, no matter what, it is difficult for the scores of students in our class to drop below the passing score of 60 points.

As for the questions, we must first ensure the quantity of questions, and then the quality. From this point of view, the selection of the question setter must be taken into consideration.

Of course, even if these aspects are perfect, the problem may not be solved. It is better to know what the other class is good at and what it is not good at, so that we can do a better targeted [attack].

"There are many things to consider. Mr. Hoshinomiya also gave quite a few reminders. The results of the small test will not have any impact, and the passing score for the total score has not yet been determined. Also, the pairing method for the two partners will be announced after the small test........."

"It seems that I am the only one who can't think through this. We must discuss the final exam."

Ichinose pretended to be casual and 'mumbled' in front of me, and his eyes rolled around and then fell on me, but I didn't say anything.

Letting her go free is the fastest way to growth.

"Well, this matter depends on Ichinose and Kanzaki. I will give you moral support."

However, Ichinose was surprisingly not dissatisfied with my statement. Instead, he turned his gaze directly to Kanzaki who was sitting next to him.

"Kanzaki-san, could you please invite me to discuss the final exam strategy?"

"If there are no problems, I would also like to start the discussion as soon as possible. After all, we don't have much time left."

Not surprisingly, Kanzaki agreed to Ichinose's request.

"Then I hope to start straight after school."

"I don't have anything else planned, but..." Kanzaki paused, then lowered his voice, "Besides us—"

"I will check the candidates."

Speaking of this, Ichinose's eyes became slightly firmer.

Do you have a general idea of ​​what to think about the 'traitor'?

Or is it just pure passion?

If this problem is not collected or properly solved, the result of our special exam may be very disastrous. But once the corresponding countermeasures are taken, even if we experience a low point, our class will be reborn like a flamingo.

Up to now, can my tricks really confuse other people's sight?

This is a factual development that deserves my continued attention.

Kanzaki nodded slightly and then asked.

"So where would Ichinose like to hold this discussion?"

"Of course it's [Palette]... I was going to say that, but there seem to be a lot of people there during lunch break and after school. If we discuss it there, others might overhear it if we're not paying attention... Or should we go to the KTV room?"

[Palette] is a very famous cafe in the school.

Ichinose rejected his original idea and tried to come up with a meeting place.

Although none of the destinations had anything to do with me, I always had a bad feeling in my heart.

The next moment, my eyes met Kanzaki's.

"Perhaps we can avoid unnecessary expenses... Let's meet in Luo's room."

"Excuse me for refusing—"

"May I?"

Before I could finish my protest, Ichinose leaned forward to ask for my opinion.

For a moment the words in my mouth were stuck in my throat and couldn't move.

Even if the person being requested is Ichinose...

【I reject. 】

Even though the other party used coquettish tactics, I also intended to reject them righteously, but in fact they just informed me, as for whether I agreed or not......

Sorry, I seem to take myself too seriously.

At this moment, I have a little understanding of the powerlessness of human power in the face of fate.

I opened the door of my dormitory room in front of everyone behind me.

"I understand the reason, but why is it my room......?"

I expressed my inner thoughts with a bit of depression, and Kanzaki immediately gave a hurtful response.

"As a gathering place for friends, your room may lack some warmth, but if it is used to discuss important matters, I think it will be just right. After all, your room........."

Kanzaki did not give the answer to the end, but left everyone with an intriguing silence.

No matter from which angle I look at it, I can hear some criticism of my lack of humanity in this sentence. Even if I personally consciously want to change this, without the corresponding knowledge, the results of specific practice will be different.

It is better to do nothing than to be misunderstood by others in the end.

Of course, it would be best if it could be handed over to someone else to handle. However, Okabe and the others have discussed it for so long without any response, I am afraid that this matter will end up in vain.

"Really? As soon as you walk in, it feels as deserted as a conference room... Hey, isn't it the same as when I first entered school?"

How disrespectful...

After taking a peek at my room, Wangcang, who was also a participant in the operational discussion, tactfully pointed out how empty the room was. Even Beppu, who was standing next to him, remained silent, pushing up his glasses as if he was trying to find some differences in my room from when he first entered school.

This is a challenging 'spot the difference' game.

But unfortunately, no matter how hard a person tries, the final result is just a few more daily necessities.

"..........Luo Jun, don't you have anything that interests you? Your room is so boring."

"Originally there should have been a few mystery novels on the desk, but you came at the wrong time... the deadline for borrowing books expired yesterday."

I was afraid that the online store might not understand what I meant, so I added a step of explanation at the end.

"No, no, no, this is not a problem that can be solved by a few mystery novels. Not only the atmosphere, but even the arrangement of the objects looks like an empty room with no one staying there."

"Mashko, stop talking."

Ichinose couldn't stand me being humiliated like this any longer, and Wangcang apologized to me in time after being reminded, but...

"Oh, sorry, I spoke too much."

"No, it's okay, I don't mind."

"I'm just a little surprised, that's all. Uh, it doesn't seem like I'm particularly surprised...."

For a while, Wangcang fell into self-contradiction, which hurt me even more.

However, there was nothing wrong with what she said.

Being unintentionally blunt isn't necessarily a bad thing...

I tried my best to comfort myself in my heart.

I took out the cushions stored in the cabinet and ushered everyone to their seats. Considering that the strategic discussion on [Paper Shuffle] would not be concluded in a short time, after a brief inquiry, I prepared five cups of hot cocoa for entertainment. At the same time, I took out the unopened snacks that Shiratori and the others had left with me more than ten days ago.

At least they weren't expired, if the date on the bag didn't deceive me.

As I just mentioned, there were five people participating in this strategic discussion.

Ichinose Honami, Kanzaki Ryuji, Beppu Ryouta, Amikura Asako, and most likely me as an observer.

The reason why we did not start planning and arranging with everyone at the class meeting right away was not only because we took into account what to do if there was a "traitor" in the class, but also because the analysis of the villains in private would be clearer.

After reaching the conclusion, it will be announced in class, so efficiency is guaranteed.

In this situation, Amigura and Beppu appeared in the discussion meeting, which meant that they were trustworthy in Ichinose's heart. At least Amigura was like that, but Beppu was another matter.

It doesn't matter whether it is a test or he is one of the candidates to set the test papers for his class.

In fact, Shibata should have been one of the discussants.
