Real teaching, hypocritical gray life

Although he said this, a smile that was the opposite of surprise appeared on his face, and then Mr. Hoshinomiya pasted the results of this [Small Test] on the blackboard.

I was asked to score zero in this "small test", so I was undoubtedly at the bottom of the list. The top students all scored 40 points, and there were a few people who were in the 20s.

So far, Class A has demonstrated its absolute advantage of unity no matter which exam it faces.

This time the exam was carried out smoothly according to the battle plan, and the results were as expected.

Fortunately, no other unexpected accidents occurred.

Now that we have mastered the application of partner pairing, we only need to focus on improving students' individual performance and preparing test questions and corresponding answers.

There is no problem with learning. After all, this is an action that everyone has been taking for at least nine years, and the question setting is based on professional theoretical knowledge, which will surely play a good role.

in other words,

I don't need to do anything in this exam. Our Class A can defeat the opponent through head-on confrontation and win this special exam.

Maybe this is how the class should run normally...

"Even if you only act uprightly, you can still win."

This is precious, and it is my innermost expectation.

And I began to feel confused about what I was doing.

Do my actions really have purpose?

Or does it mean that after losing the target instructions, my principles of action will become arbitrary?

I gradually felt that my rationality was being swallowed up by my emotions, and it was irresistible.

"Judging from the test results, it seems that some of you have understood the significance of the results of this [Small Test], and shared your thoughts with the whole class to work together. To be honest, I have never found any students in previous classes who seek stability and caution like you."

Looking at the list of scores posted, Mr. Hoshinomiya sincerely expressed his admiration for us.

"Teacher Hoshinomiya, now that the results are out, the selection of partners should be almost done, right?"

Some students in the class couldn't wait to ask the teacher to show the rest of the results, and Mr. Hoshinomiya responded with a smile.

"Don't be impatient. Things have to be done step by step, right?"

Then, Mr. Hoshinomiya posted another form on the blackboard.

The published groups are exactly the same as the pairings we expected. By the way, my pairing partner is——

Falling leaves............Hime Snow.

When I first learned of this result, I was a little surprised and lamented the coincidence of our fate. Although we each opened different boxes, the results were unexpectedly similar.

I looked towards Ji Ye's position, but found that she had no intention of turning back to look at me.

That's right. After all, in a relationship of interest, who would pursue alignment?

Just as I was thinking this, there were suddenly cries of surprise from all sizes in the classroom.

I also focus my attention on the source of the information.

"Um, Mr. Hoshinomiya... Is there something wrong with this form?"

"Um, what's the problem, Chihiro-san?"

"This is a serious problem. Honami doesn't have a partner... Hey, why does Kanzaki-san's name appear twice? He's partnering with himself... What's going on?"

The partner pairing form clearly shows:

Kanzaki Ryuji......Kanzaki Ryuji

Ichinose Honami............

Chapter 188: What should I do?

[First-year students Class A [Paper Shuffle] Special Exam Partner Arrangement]

............

Group 18: Ryuji Kanzaki... Ryuji Kanzaki

Group 19: Chihiro Shiranami....Sa Shibata

Group 20: Falling Leaves............Ji Yexue

Group 21: Ichinose Honoki............

There are 40 students in Class A. If they are divided into groups of two, then exactly 20 pairs can be formed.

However, according to the pairing arrangement form published by the school, there were twenty-one pairs in our Class A, and an unexpected situation occurred with the pairing of two of them.

Kanzaki formed a partnership with himself, while Ichinose formed a group on his own.

Under normal circumstances, students like Okabe who are keen on e-sports might be able to joke that Kanzaki used a copy skill on them, but in a special exam that concerns "life", we can't say it at all.

At least the current atmosphere is not suitable for us to joke.

Sudden accidents only leave corresponding confusion and worries in our hearts.

"Um, Mr. Hoshinomiya... Is there something wrong with this form?"

The unexpected partnership was first discovered by Shiranami, who was sitting in the front row. He asked Hoshinomiya about it, but their reaction time was so fast that even Ichinose and Kanzaki themselves were unable to realize the problem.

However, Mr. Hoshinomiya, the homeroom teacher of Class A, did not seem to understand the strange turn of events.

In other words, it is impossible to get an immediate answer from Mr. Hoshinomiya.

"Um, what's the problem, Chihiro-san?"

"This is a serious problem. Honami doesn't have a partner... Hey, why does Kanzaki-san's name appear twice? He's partnering with himself... What's going on?"

After Bai Bo pointed it out, all the students in the class noticed the difference in the partner arrangement list, and at the same time, whispers were heard from the audience.

But the agitation soon subsided.

At this moment, students no longer care about who they will be paired with in the [Paper Shuffle] special exam.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the class teacher sitting at the podium, hoping to get an explanation from Mr. Hoshinomiya regarding the error in the combination of the two partners.

"What? Kanzaki-san is teaming up with himself. How... eh?"

Mr. Hoshinomiya was not paying attention to our "joke" one second, and the next second he was staring blankly at the partner arrangement table posted on the blackboard.

That careful look confirmed the authenticity of the form over and over again.

But there is no doubt that this is an established fact.

"Eh, uh, ah... maybe the school made a mistake. Kanzaki-san should be taking this exam with Honoki as a partner... Well, I'll report the situation to the school. Honoki, please help look after the class. Everyone, please be patient."

After giving us instructions, Mr. Hoshinomiya took the partner arrangement chart from the blackboard and quickly left the classroom.

"So...was it the school's mistake?"

I asked Ichinose who was sitting in front of me as if talking to myself in my seat.

It was obvious that she had not yet recovered from the accident.

Fortunately, her consciousness still heard what I said, so I didn't need to take any action to bring her soul back.

"It must be the school's mistake... There are 700 students in the class, which is just enough to form pairs. It's too much to deliberately prevent students from forming pairs and require them to get a total score of more than , right?"

Although the problem was with me, Ichinose answered me in a comforting tone.

“…But is it really possible for the school to make such a low-level mistake?”

Kanzaki interrupted our conversation thoughtfully.

So far, the school has not made any mistakes even in such a complex special test as surviving on an uninhabited island, so it is hard to imagine that mistakes would occur in the statistics of the results of the [Small Test].

"The school's copies should be identical in basic terms. In other words, the format is the same. All that needs to be changed is the class and the corresponding student name."

"If the partner arrangement table of other classes also exists in [Group 21], then there is no problem. But if it does not exist, it means that this [Group 21] was added specially, which means that this is the arrangement."

"If it wasn't a mistake by the school, then how do we explain that result? It can't be that there are two Kanzaki Ryuji in our class, and because of this, the total number of students in our class has become an odd number, a total of 41 people, right?"

I pointed out the uncertain factors in Kanzaki's conjecture and refuted it based on this, but in fact my words cannot serve as direct evidence.

"Maybe... I also hope that my worries are just idle fantasies."

"Anyway, we'll know the truth of the matter when Mr. Hoshinomiya comes back."

Ichinose's voice sounded quite relaxed.

However, in reality, she herself was also worried about the results of the special exam combination.

This worry could be easily seen in her eyes.

"If I didn't see it wrong just now, Luo Jun is in the same group with Ji Ye classmate."

"Oh, yes. We don't usually communicate much."

"Then isn't this a good opportunity? Luo has been lacking in contact with everyone in the class."

"Sorry, I've been working on that."

Although everyone in the class was worried and confused, Ichinose still faced them with her cheerful smile.

Ichinose seemed to put comforting others before himself.

Are you heartbroken.............?

I asked myself.

The answer cannot be given.

I am now calmer than ever, so calm that I cannot draw conclusions about everything.

After a while, Teacher Hoshinomiya returned to the classroom with a look of enlightenment.

"Teacher Hoshinomiya, so what exactly is going on? Is it a mistake made by the school?"

As soon as I stepped into the classroom, I was asked nervous questions by the students.

At this time, Mr. Hoshinomiya also changed his previous joking attitude and posted the partner combination arrangement form on the blackboard again with a slightly serious look.

The partnership that went 'wrong' - was not 'corrected'.

There was an uproar below the podium for a moment.

After the class quieted down, Mr. Hoshinomiya began to explain to us the results he had just received from the school.

"Although it may be hard to believe, I have just confirmed with the school that there is no problem with the pairing arrangement for Class A."

"Wait, wait, Mr. Hoshinomiya. What do you mean there are no problems with this form? Are Honami and Kanzaki-san going to take the final exam like this?"

"Yes. The same goes for other classes. Honami and Kanzaki-san can only participate in this special exam according to the pairing form set by the school. There is no problem with this."

"It would be strange if there were no problems. It's wrong to deliberately let Fanbo take the exam alone!"

The school's response immediately caused dissatisfaction among the students in the class, and all of them expressed their indignation for Ichinose.

"Everyone, calm down. Maybe other classes are facing similar special situations like us?"

The noise in the class could no longer be calmed down by personal self-control, so Ichinose stepped forward in time to take charge of the situation.

"How could there be such a special situation? This was not mentioned in the previous exam rules. Isn't this obviously embarrassing for Fan Bo? If you fail to pass the exam, you will be expelled."

"Although it is not mentioned in the exam rules, it does not mean that special circumstances do not exist. Perhaps we just did not notice it? It is not impossible. So far, there are various hidden rules in the special exams we have experienced, and the school has not disclosed these, or the school hopes that we can discover them ourselves."

"There will always be a solution to the problem. So please rest assured."

"The most important thing now is to find out what the exam situation is like."

Even though the situation had developed to this point, Ichinose did not lose his composure and quickly suppressed the disputes in the class.

This is probably a qualified performance as a leader.

Ichinose took a deep breath to calm himself, then asked Mr. Hoshinomiya, who was standing in front of the desk.

"Teacher Hoshinomiya, have other classes encountered situations that are beyond the previous exam rules? Whether it is duplicate names of candidates in the pair combination, or losing a partner to take the exam alone, or the 21st group... ... Have these situations occurred in other classes?"

In response to Ichinose's question, Mr. Hoshinomiya did not give an immediate answer, but instead put his index finger on his lower lip, as if thinking about something.

After being silent for dozens of seconds, Mr. Hoshinomiya slowly opened his eyes.

"No. If you mean the arrangement on the partner combination form is different from what was expected, then other classes should not have encountered the same situation as us."

"All classes are following the exam rules you have learned, including Class A. There have been no changes to the exam rules during this period. If there are any changes, we teachers must inform students without the school's instructions."

"Does that mean we are the only class among the four that has been 'treated unfairly'?"
