What is the real purpose? This does not improve the unity of the class at all, and there is no conflict of interest. Several questions popped up in my mind in an instant, but they did not last long before they were eliminated by Mr. Majima's next words.
"Finally, after this special exam, the remaining points of each class will be added to the class points, and the results will be reflected at the end of the summer vacation."
"what?!"
The students who had calmed down were once again upset by this sentence.
If we don't spend any of the 300 class points, we will definitely be close to Class A. This also reflects from the side that there will inevitably be a conflict in this exam between students who want to be promoted to Class A and save points, and students who spend points for necessary physiological needs.
Dealing with these contradictions well is the key to passing this exam.
"This is the end of my explanation. The additional rules for this exam will be explained to you by the class teachers. I would like to state in advance that according to the special exam rules, those who withdraw due to physical discomfort or other reasons will be punished by their class by deducting 30 points. The absent traveler this time is a student from Class A. Therefore, the exam for Class A will start from 270 points."
Before we could recover from the shock, Mr. Mashima ended his speech without authorization. There is no doubt that Mr. Mashima's final speech shocked us so much that we didn't recover until a teacher reminded us to go to our class teacher to learn about the supplementary rules.
"Three hundred class points, if we are patient..."
"They will definitely be approaching Class A at an absolute speed."
"but......."
"Okay, okay, everyone, be quiet. Mashima-sensei only talked about some basic rules. What I say is more important." Hoshinomiya-sensei clapped his hands and signaled us to be quiet.
"What? Just what Mashima-sensei said is enough to give me a headache. Is this what the teacher meant by 'the overall experience is still great'? This is obviously a lie."
"Haha, as long as you make good use of those 300 points, there will be no problem. Okay, don't worry about this problem, now listen to me carefully."
After that, Mr. Hoshinomiya gave us the supplies that Mr. Mashima mentioned earlier, and then handed each of us a watch. It displayed a variety of data: human body temperature, pulse heartbeat, satellite positioning, dangerous emergency confirmation...
"Wait, what does this emergency situation, Mr. Hoshinomiya, mean?" After learning about the functions of the watch, Hosaka showed signs of uneasiness.
"If you are bitten by a snake or your leg is broken and you can't walk, you can press the emergency button."
"Are there any more snakes?"
"Who knows? I'm not sure either." Teacher Hoshinomiya rolled his eyes mischievously and answered uncertainly.
"Wow, teacher, please explain in more detail."
"Don't worry, the school will ensure your safety. And my words can't affect the exam. Also, damage and replacement of watches will also require points, so everyone remember to pay attention."
"Ugh, Hoshinomiya-sensei!"
"I can't hear you. I can't hear you. OK, next is the guidebook."
"How could this be?"
Teacher Hoshinomiya ignored the girls' unreasonable behavior and directly handed the guidebook to the class monitor Ichinose.
"Now, please turn to the last page of the guidebook. This page is very important, as it contains the deduction items. It is extremely important information that symbolizes this special exam. Please understand it carefully, and remember to ask questions immediately if you don't understand."
We followed Mr. Hoshinomiya's instructions and opened the last page. Since there was only one copy, we chose to collect the points and pass it around.
By the time my group took it over, it had been passed around three times. I flipped through the pages with anticipation.
It says: Those who meet the following conditions will be subject to prescribed penalties.
[Thirty points will be deducted for students who are obviously unwell or seriously injured and are judged by the school to be unable to continue taking the exam. At the same time, the student will be withdrawn from the exam.]
[Twenty points will be deducted if any behavior that pollutes the environment is discovered]
[Five points will be deducted for each person who is absent from the roll call at 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. every day]
[If a student commits violence, looting, or destroys equipment against another class, the class the student belongs to will be disqualified immediately and all personal points will be confiscated.]
Chapter 51: The actions of betrayers are always unimaginable
The end justifies the means.
Some people say that this is the nature of human beings, which can be analyzed from the desperate behavior of human beings.
In fact, it is not important whether this point can occupy the position of one of the essences of human beings. When a person can do anything for the sake of his goal, when a person has gone to this point for the sake of his goal, her mind no longer belongs to human beings.
But it belongs to her.

After everyone fully understood the special rules, Mr. Hoshinomiya could not wait to explain the contents of the additional rules to us.
“Are there additional rules?”
"There's nothing we can do about it. The school has taken a lot of considerations into account for the exam. If it were just this level, the ability gap between the classes wouldn't be apparent."
"Does this mean that the following rules will be very important?"
"Of course, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's the deciding factor in Go, so everyone must listen carefully." At this point, Mr. Hoshinomiya seemed to be anxiously considering the occurrence of something, and his tone became faster and faster.
"The school has installed many bases with [occupancy mechanisms] on this island. After occupying a base, the corresponding class will be given exclusive use rights. Each class needs to elect a 'leader' from among its own students. The school will give the leader a special unlocking card for occupying the base. And the special unlocking card can only be used by the leader."
"One occupation can only last for eight hours, and you will get one extra point each time you occupy it. This extra point cannot be used in the exam, and will be counted into the result after the exam."
Are these the functions of the instruments I saw on the cruise ship? But wouldn't the number be too large? There are hundreds of instruments and their locations are quite scattered... As for the stronghold, if you only consider the rectification of governance, then it may be a good choice.
Hoshinomiya-sensei briefly summarized the rules, then had us look through the condensed content in the guide booklet.
[A special key card is required to occupy a base]
[You will get one point each time you occupy a point. You can freely use the occupied point.]
[Using a base occupied by another class without permission will result in a fifty-point penalty.]
[Only those who become leaders can use the key card.]
[Leaders cannot be changed without good reason.]
in addition,
[After the exam, each class will be given the power to guess the leader of another class. The class whose guess is correct will lose 50 class points, and the class that guessed correctly will be awarded 50 class points.]
The leader's inference... The last point will undoubtedly be the deciding factor. The huge amount of fifty points may instantly erode the points we have gained from occupying the stronghold in the past seven days, which is more than enough.
In this case, leaders must act with caution, otherwise we may even face a zero-point crisis.
"You will decide who will be your leader until roll call tonight. If you still can't decide by then, the teacher will randomly select one."
"If I explain it this way, I think everyone will understand."
"Ah."
"Okay, now let's move on to the final issue of camp construction."
Teacher Hoshinomiya quickened the pace again, forcing all of us students to pay attention immediately.
"You will be given the power to move freely on the island, so the construction of the camp will be up to you. It is worth noting that once you have determined the location, you cannot change the location of the camp without a valid reason. In addition, I will accompany you until you explain the reasons for this assessment."
"The above is basically what you need to know. If you have any other questions, just ask the teacher. I will answer them within the prescribed scope. Also, you should first understand everything in the guidebook. If the teacher has some doubts about a certain point in the exam, ask the instructors of other classes first. Remember to keep it where it is before the teacher comes back, otherwise the teacher will be very troubled."
Teacher Hoshinomiya left in a hurry after saying this irresponsibly. I followed her for a while and then withdrew my gaze after confirming that Teacher Hoshinomiya had arrived at the D class area.
After interpreting all the special rules, we gathered together to plan the possibility of not using points, but as we flipped through the guidebook, we ruthlessly shattered this quasi-idealistic fantasy.
"Tents, cooking utensils, shower rooms, and if we're unlucky, we might even have to pay for food... Just from these points alone, the cost of points is completely unavoidable."
"It seems that no matter how we look at it, we can't not use points..."
While Ichinose and the others were discussing, I checked the supplies that the school had distributed to us.
There is no error in the quantity.
The tent is a large tent that can accommodate eight people at a time. However, even so, two tents can only provide accommodation for sixteen people, which can only accommodate all the girls in the class at most.
The theme of this exam is more like "survival" than "freedom". How to allocate points properly is another crucial point.
"But then again, the guidebook is really comprehensive. It can be said that it contains almost everything we want, whether it's entertainment facilities or something else."
"No one with any sense would waste points on something like that. There's absolutely no need for it to appear."
"Not necessarily. Since this exam will not have a negative impact on the next semester, some of the previous students will definitely enjoy it."
“…I don’t know about that.”
Listening to the jokes of a small group of people, my eyes fell on the guidebook that was being flipped through meaninglessly. The school set up the exam so that all items in the guidebook can be purchased with the special exam points. After confirming the required items, submit them to the class teacher, and then the school will deliver the items to us.
Additionally, submitting the required items does not seem to be limited to a specific group of people.
In other words, if someone secretly uses points to buy something without telling the whole class, as long as the item is not exposed, then we have no way of knowing who the culprit is.
Is it necessary to be wary of the existence of betrayers?
Standing in the center of Class B, I looked at the diverse yet united crowd.
Yes, it is necessary.
As long as I am working in a team, no matter how much I know about the background information of the members, no matter how much security it brings us, I need to be wary of the possibility of betrayal.
Because there is nothing that betrayal cannot accomplish.
Chapter 52: I am concerned about the rumors that are spreading among students that I am not aware of.
A moment after Mr. Hoshinomiya left, we first confirmed the necessity of spending points, and then held an election discussion. Because of Mr. Hoshinomiya's order before leaving, we could not move the discussion venue without permission, and could only gather together carefully to discuss the crucial existence in this game, the leader.
"Does anyone have a candidate in mind who is suitable for the position of leader? It doesn't matter even if it's me, as it would put too much psychological pressure on myself." After confirming that there were no eavesdroppers around, Ichinose spoke first.
"Since she's the leader, Ichinose would be more suitable."
"No, I can't do that." Shibata immediately objected when the suggestion was made, but such a decisive action was met with confusion from everyone.
That is why scholars say that people can only think normally within their comfort zone.
"If it were me, it might not be appropriate." Ichinose was not angry at Shibata's denial, but understood it.
"Would there be any problem with this?"
"Of course," Shibata nodded seriously, "Everyone has seen what Ichinose does on a daily basis. Because he is so outstanding, it is easy for others to guess that the leader is Ichinose. If we run into some crazy people who like to gamble, the risk is too great."
"Haha......." In response to Shibata's half-complimentary answer, Ichinose smiled awkwardly.
"Also, the leader is just a title for the owner of the special unlocking card in the exam. It is not a real person. Don't confuse this."
Kanzaki then added, "Once the leader is discovered, the class will face the possibility of losing 150 points at once, so we need to understand the importance of this identity. So as for the selection, I suggest choosing a stable student who is not too conspicuous."
"I'm sorry it seems like I'm in a hurry, but that's indeed the truth now."
"Since it is confirmed to be in the inconspicuous category, it will be easy for us to find it."
"Should a leader be inconspicuous..."
The so-called inconspicuous means that the first impression does not give people any special thoughts, and there is no outstanding reputation, which is not worthy of attention. There is nothing wrong with starting from this point, but if you choose too extreme, it will cause the same problem as Ichinose.
Just as I was immersed in my own analysis, I suddenly realized that everyone's eyes were fixed on me.
"........Can you please stop staring at me? I feel stressed, too."
"Speaking of being inconspicuous, classmate Luo is the most appropriate one, no matter how you think of him."
Ando, I don't think I have offended you in the past. Even if there is a personal grudge, it shouldn't be retaliated over such a serious matter, right?
"I don't think there's any problem..."
"That's right. People from other classes probably wouldn't focus their attention on Luo anyway."
Hey, hey, hey, please don't all pretend to agree with me. Have you ever considered my personal feelings? At least pretend to be a little negative on the surface!
Just when I thought I was about to receive the punishment of "justice", Shibata's words, which I don't know whether to be regarded as good or bad, saved me from the dire straits.
"It's not impossible. But maybe that's a bit too extreme, and there are rumors about it outside..."
"Wait, what was that rumor you just mentioned?"
"I forgot that students from other classes also knew about this. Looks like we need to find another student."
"After all, being too close to Captain Ichinose would be taken into consideration."
"I have explained it before. Luo Jun and I really-"
"Yeah, yeah, we all know what Honami-chan said, so does anyone have any recommendations?" Wakayama nodded as if he understood very well, and perfunctorily interrupted Ichinose's rebuttal.
The others also changed the subject, looking nonchalant. I was the only one who was still concerned about the fact that the outside world already knew about the rumor, and Ichinose's face was flushed with anger.
"Well, let's use the dark under the lamp."
"What do you mean?"
"Since we can't choose a candidate from the extremes, let's just pick someone who is always by Ichinose's side. This way we can conceal it, and at the critical moment, we can ensure that the leader is in Ichinose's sight to prevent him from doing anything out of line."
