A classroom that relies on high technology to achieve excellence

[I see. I understand.]

Kanda Shuichi put away his phone, and then found that Horikita across the street seemed to have also come up with a result.

"How about it?"

"Ayanokouji has been in room 204 since 6pm."

"Akito, Akito Miyake starts at 7:20 pm in room 205."

I asked two people, and they turned out to be different...

However, they soon learned the whole story because the class group had already started a commotion.

Many people had different times, of course some had the same time, but among those who came out to speak, there were only three room numbers: 204 to 206.

Do you want to ask about students from other classes?

After a slight hesitation, Kanda Shuichi closed Ichinose Honami's communication number and opened Kamuro Masumi's chat box.

[When and where do you gather? ]

Read, not replied.

What is this guy doing? Kanda Shuichi was a little confused.

Masumi Kamuro was very unhappy when she saw the message sent by Kanda Shuichi. She thought of me when she needed me, but threw me aside when she didn't need me. Do you think I am your ○○ cup?

But his fingers still sent the message quickly.

【8 o'clock, room . 】

So concise, are you angry?

【Well done, my loyal Wang-chan! 】

After encouraging Kamuro, Kanda Hideichi was unable to obtain any more information.

However, if we gather these fragmentary pieces of information together, it is easy to get some information.

First of all, the time and place of the students' exams are different, which means that at least it will not be a written test.

That's right. Even such a crazy school would not conduct a surprise written test on students during their holidays.

Based on the time and location of each exam, we can also know that students are divided into groups, and the exam time for each group is likely to be 20 minutes.

Because everyone's gathering time is either on the hour, at 20 minutes past the hour, or at 40 minutes past the hour.

Judging from the messages in the class group, there are groups from 5:00 to 8:40, but not before or after, so the number of groups for this exam can also be calculated, which is twelve.

The group that gathers at five o'clock is the first group, and the group that gathers at eight forty is the last group.

As for the content of the exam, it is completely unknown.

But one thing is certain, in order to ensure apparent fairness, all students should take the same exams.

But if that is the case, then why are the students being separated?

Since the school did this, then according to the school's nature, there must be a reason for doing so.

Are you afraid that the students will discover something when they gather together?

In other words, if you want to pass this exam smoothly, you may need to look at the students together. Whether it is connecting them horizontally with time as the center, or connecting them vertically with class as the center, it is an idea.

There is still too little information, so we can only wait for the first group of people who went to take the exam to come back before making plans.

Let me see who are in the first group to take the exam.

Ok……

I don’t know any of them!

There is no other way, so I can only find a solution myself.

"Horikita, how much battery is left on your phone?"

"Battery level?" Horikita Suzune was stunned for a moment, then confirmed, "80%."

80%. If you keep talking on the phone, it can probably last for 3 hours.

The time now is 2:30 pm.

Yeah, that's OK.

"I'm going to go to the exam venue to take a look. Do you want to go?"

As he spoke, Kanda Shuichi had already stood up, ready to go to the notified examination location, Room 206.

"Now?"

"Well, there's no rule against going, right?"

Although she didn't know what Kanda Shuichi was up to, Horikita Suzune still decided to go and take a look.

Students generally don't come to the cabins on the second floor. Even if they are allowed to rent here, the cost seems to be very expensive.

Therefore, as far as Hideichi Kanda knows, there are generally very few students coming here.

Kanda Shuichi and Horikita Suzune were on the second-floor deck at the moment, so they could quickly find the room mentioned in the previous email, Room 206, by simply walking into the cabin.

dong dong dong.

Of course, Hideichi Kanda wouldn't just barge in, that would be too reckless, so he chose to knock on the door first.

If there is someone guarding inside, then Kanda Hideichi will be ready to fool around and pretend that he has never been there. If there is no one inside, then Kanda Hideichi will be ready to do something.

"Who?"

It's over, there's someone here, and from the sound of the voice it seems to be Class C's homeroom teacher, Sakagami Digital.

It seems there is no loophole to exploit.

Kanda Shuichi had to shake his head helplessly.

But the teachers are also very hard-working. They have to guard this room from now on. In other words, are there people in the other rooms too?

Soon, the door of the room was opened, and just as Kanda Shuichi thought, the person inside was Digital Sakagami.

"You are Kanda Shuichi from Class D, right? What can I do for you?"

"Well, we were notified to gather in this room later, so I wanted to check it out first."

Kanda Shuichi did not completely hide his thoughts, but he did not mention a word about wanting to bring in the phone that was on a call.

"Unfortunately, between now and 9pm, only students who have been instructed to do so will be allowed into the room."

Sakagami Kazuma answered Kanda Shuichi seriously and said that his little plan would not succeed.

"I see. I understand. See you then, Mr. Sakagami."

After saying that, Kanda Shuichi and Horikita Suzune turned around and left.

Looking at the departing figure of Kanda Shuichi, Sakagami Kazuma felt a little emotional. Such an outstanding student was actually assigned to Class D. Chabashira was really lucky!

If the plan fails, then we can only ask Hirata to obtain information from students who have finished the exam first.

By the way, he hasn't asked Hirata when and where the text message was received.

After asking, he got the answer: eight o'clock, room 206.

She is in the same group with herself and Horikita Suzune.

Kanda Shuichi is not bragging. In Class D, except for Ayanokouji Kiyotaka who has not shown his ability, and Takaharadera who is extremely self-willed, if the others are ranked according to their comprehensive strength, these three people should be among the top in Class D.

But the school actually put the three of them into one group. What is the school doing?

Forget it, there’s no point in thinking too much. We’ll know when the true nature of the exam is fully revealed.

Then, as time went on, students entered the corresponding rooms in groups and began to take the exam.

However, when the first group of students came out, people like Kanda Hideichi who had not yet taken their turn had a general idea of ​​the content of the exam.

It seems to be a game similar to Werewolf, where the winner can get class points or personal points.

The specific situation is hard to describe...

Because these guys can't express their ideas clearly, and it's not just one class, it seems like every class is like this.

In other words, those guys who went in earlier are actually idiots?

Soon, it was 8:40 in the evening, and Shuichi Kanda and Yosuke Hirata prepared to form a team and go to the examination room.

Because they had the scattered information from previous students as support, the two were not nervous.

Hirata was the core figure of the class, so someone had already come to discuss the exam with him.

As his roommate, Kanda Shuichi also heard most of the exam content, and it was because of this that he was able to see the essence of this exam.

No matter what the school said, the exam had already started when the first group entered the room!

Why were Shuichi Kanda, Yosuke Hirata and others left until the end to be explained?

No, perhaps the question should be, the content is obviously the same, but the outstanding people are left to be explained at the end, do you have something against them?

Of course not. The reason for letting them know in advance and letting them meet the teacher at the last minute is, of course, to give them time to analyze and think about the exam.

Let them use this time to think of questions they want to ask and then ask the teacher.

"Kanda-san, I have something to worry about regarding this exam..." Hirata took the initiative to express his opinion as he walked down the stairs, "Why did the school conduct the explanation separately? If efficiency is taken into consideration, then it would be more appropriate to give a general explanation and then divide the groups. This is what they would do in general."

"Ah, that's what I want to know too. Maybe we'll know it later." Kanda Hide nodded. "And I have a feeling that knowing the hidden information here is the key to whether we can pass this exam."

Although he is not very interested in class competition, Shuichi Kanda still has some expectations for this kind of puzzle game.

Chapter 4: The situation is tense before it even begins (K)

As mentioned before, Kanda Shuichi and his family's residence was on the third floor of the ship, while the designated location was on the second floor, so the two did not use the elevator but chose to take the stairs.

"Ayanokouji?" After going down the stairs, Hirata saw Ayanokouji Kiyotaka standing at the entrance of the corridor. "Could it be that Ayanokouji-san is also in this group?"

It was natural for Hirata to have such a misunderstanding, because he didn't know that Ayanokouji was in the six o'clock group.

"Um, no, it was Horikita who asked me to come here."

“It’s really not easy for you.”

Looking at Ayanokouji Kiyotaka being ordered around by Horikita, Kanda Shuichi couldn't help but sigh.

"That's what I mean. You're already here, but you still insist on calling me over."

MD, I take back what I said!

You don't want to be ordered around so you let her order me around? You are a real dog!

As the three of them were leaning against the wall and chatting, familiar faces appeared one after another.

The first acquaintance who appeared was Kōhei Katsuragi from Class A. He seemed to have recovered from his last loss, but when he passed by Shuichi Kanda, the vigilance in his eyes was clearly revealed.

"Katsuragi, you don't have to be so wary of me. According to the news, we are going to cooperate this time."

In fact, Kanda Shuichi did not have any much hostility towards Katsuragi. It was just that he was in Class A, so their positions were different.

"I don't intend to cooperate with you on this matter. Even if it is a matter required by the exam, my attitude remains the same."

Katsuragi stopped and looked at Kanda Shuichi, the vigilance in his eyes not relaxed at all.

"Really? That's a pity." Kanda Shuichi smiled and didn't get angry, but looked behind him, "So, Ryuen, do you want to continue the cooperation?"

"As long as the benefits are sufficient, I certainly won't refuse."

Ryuen's treacherous voice came from the end of the corridor, followed by two unfamiliar male students.

Compared to Katsuragi who came alone, Ryuen Sho and Kanda Shuichi already had the upper hand in momentum.

When Katsuragi heard Ryuuen's voice, his face suddenly turned dark.

If losing to Kanda Shuichi could be said to be because Kanda Shuichi was too strong, then losing to Ryuen was really because he was blind and failed to see through Ryuen's tricks and betrayal.

Judging from this change in his expression, it seems that Katsuragi really hates Ryuuen.
