However, up to now, Wu Yi, as the vice president of the student union, doesn't know anything about the result, so Ichinose, the acting student union president, must not know either.
Such a sudden and unexpected test, combined with the letter from Ayanokouji Atsuomi that he received from Chabashi Sae last week, it is obvious that the latter must have used a certain degree of power to create this test.
An exam aimed at getting Ayanokouji Kiyotaka expelled from school.
But in the final analysis, whether you can drop out of school depends on the actual situation.
"The content of the exam is extremely simple. Theoretically, the dropout rate of each class in this exam will be less than 3%. However, whether this 3% can be further reduced depends on your actions until the actual exam. You should understand what I mean."
Chabashira Sae came up and gave everyone a shot of prevention.
Three percent, multiplied by forty people in each class, means that the number of dropouts will be less than .
Considering that one person cannot be expelled from school along with the body below the ankle of another person, in short, there can be at most one dropout in each class.
But on the other hand, if nothing is done, at least one student will drop out.
"How did this 3% figure come about? From what the teacher said, it couldn't be decided simply by drawing lots, right?"
Hirata raised his hand to ask a question.
"Please at least tell us what kind of special assessment this is?"
Chabashira Sae glanced at him and said, "The name of the test is... internal class voting."
"Internal class vote?" Hirata Yosuke was startled.
"Yes, I will explain the special exam in detail next."
Chabashira Sae turned around and wrote the name of this special exam in white on the blackboard.
"In fact, you have plenty of time to prepare for this special exam. From today until the final exam, you will evaluate your classmates and then select three students who deserve praise and three who should be rejected. You will vote during the final exam. That's all."
This is an exam where students evaluate each other.
Students who contribute a lot to the class or are popular in class will receive more votes of appreciation.
On the other hand, if someone makes no contribution to the class and often causes trouble to the class, he or she will receive more votes of criticism.
"That...that's all? Is this the test?" Hirata was stunned.
"Yes, that's all. Didn't I tell you that this is a test that is not difficult at all?"
Chabashira Sae picked up the chalk and continued writing on the blackboard, talking as he wrote.
"The key to this special exam is the number of praise and criticism votes each person ultimately receives. The praise and criticism votes will cancel each other out at a one-to-one ratio. For example, if you, Hirata, receive thirty-seven praise votes and one criticism vote from the entire class, your final result will be thirty-six positive votes."
"The students who get the most positive votes will receive a special reward, which is something called 'protection points'."
"Although it's called protection points, you can understand it in another way, such as a death-proof gold medal."
"Its function is to waive the penalty of dropping out once. For example, if you fail an exam, the only things that will be consumed are protection points... But one thing to note is that these protection points cannot be transferred to other people."
gudu~
As Chabashira Sae finished explaining the role of protection points, many people in the audience began to swallow their saliva.
The danger of Gaoyu High School is obvious to everyone. If we can get protection points, it will be an absolutely strong additional guarantee.
This is truly a get-out-of-jail-free card.
However, opportunities and risks always coexist. Since the rewards are so generous, the punishment must be more terrible.
"Then...what about the punishment? Since the first place winner can get protection points, then the last place winner will..."
Hirata's uneasiness was almost written on his face.
Chabashira Sae nodded helplessly.
"That's right. The last student in each class will be expelled from school, which means being beheaded."
"What about the vote control operation?"
Horikita Suzune suddenly raised her hand to speak.
"There are thirty-eight people in our class, which is an even number. We can just use the method of voting for and against each other to make everyone's votes zero, so that there will be no dropouts."
"...Yes, we can still use this method!"
"As expected of Horikita-san!"
Upon hearing that there was a way to avoid the penalty of expulsion, many people who were worried about being expelled cheered loudly.
But Chabashira Sae's next words poured cold water on them all.
"Unfortunately, this method won't work. If there are multiple people with the same vote, the exam will have to go through a re-vote. But I think this is unlikely to happen because you still have a vote of appreciation from another class."
"You need to cast your vote of appreciation for someone from another class. This will be counted as a positive vote in the final result. Of course, this also applies to other classes, unless you can unite the entire grade... But as I said, if there is a tie, it will automatically be re-voted."
"You may think that this exam is unreasonable. In fact, we as teachers also think it is unreasonable, but an exam is an exam. Since it has been decided, we must abide by it."
"In this exam, you can take the expulsion penalty, or you can solve the expulsion penalty, but you can't bypass the expulsion penalty."
Volume 255: Chapter : Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal
You can bear the penalty of expulsion, and you can deal with the penalty of expulsion, but you cannot circumvent the penalty of expulsion.
At this point, the meaning is very clear, that is, there will definitely be students who drop out of every class.
As to whether the students can withstand the expulsion penalty and ultimately achieve the outcome of no one being expelled, or whether they cannot withstand it and ultimately have to sacrifice one classmate in order to pass the exam, it depends on the operations of each class during this half semester.
"If you want to cancel the expulsion penalty..."
Hirata was still making his final struggle.
"Twenty million personal points."
Chabashira Sae interrupted him with a brief sentence.
"I have already told you about this before. The price will not change due to the nature of the exam."
“Is that so…ah…”
Putting his hand down with some disappointment, Hirata Yosuke sat down thoughtfully.
However, the more he thought about it, the more solemn his expression became.
Apparently he had worked out the answer.
Not enough points.
After all, before this, Class A had been lagging behind the other four classes for a long time, with each person having only 50,000 points per month to live on.
Therefore, many students are basically living paycheck to paycheck, and being able to save 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a month is already quite good.
Even if all the points to be issued at the beginning of next month are counted, this scarce foundation can only barely make up 10 million points.
The sky-high price of 20 million is still out of reach.
"how so……"
Someone murmured and sighed.
Chabashira Sae shook his head helplessly.
"In fact, I might as well tell you that even we teachers couldn't understand the content of the exam this time, but the school explained that 'considering that no first-year students have dropped out of the exam so far, this unprecedented special exam was arranged.'"
"So the only reasonable explanation is that this is an opportunity for the school to give you to eliminate the useless people in the class."
As she spoke, she turned her gaze toward someone in the back of the classroom who had not said a word so far.
Although no words were spoken, as time passed, more and more people in the classroom noticed the specific direction of the female teacher's gaze. They turned their heads to look over there, and then showed a look of sudden realization.
Admittedly, no one wants to be expelled from school in this exam, but in the final analysis, no matter how anxious they are here, they still have to follow the arrangements of the class leaders in the end.
Instead of wasting time on yourself and being forced to accept something in the end, it is better to relax and wait for the final result calmly from the beginning.
How should I put it, it’s a bit like... praying to God?
"Um……"
After pondering for a moment, Wu Yi suddenly stood up and walked quickly to the podium.
Seeing this, Chabashira Sae no longer occupied the seat and took the initiative to move aside to make room.
"Actually, I don't quite agree with what Chabashira-sensei said just now, that this exam is to eliminate the useless people in the class."
Wu Yi paused for a moment and continued.
"Twenty million is certainly not cheap, but it's not impossible to get. However, if you view this exam as a way to eliminate useless people in the class, then using twenty million to get someone back will inevitably give people the feeling of 'spending so many points to get a useless person'."
"So my personal suggestion is that we should look at this exam from a different perspective from the beginning. We should think of it as a class target of 20 million individual points given to us by the school. As long as we can achieve the target, we can avoid the penalty of one person dropping out of the class."
As soon as the words were spoken, a hearty laugh rang out in the classroom which was as dull and silent as a can.
Kouenji was seen leaning back in his seat, his legs crossed straight under the table, his hands casually placed behind his head.
"But after saying so much, don't we still need to count the votes to determine who is the least needed person in the class? In my opinion, there has been no fundamental change."
"You feel that there is no change in essence because the 'essence' we were talking about from the beginning was not the same thing, my friend."
Wu Yi shrugged.
"Don't you understand what I mean? I'm not forbidding you to expel your classmates, nor am I trying to convince you to play a game with me where good friends help each other out to overcome difficulties. That's what Class B would do."
"Ah~ I roughly understand what you mean, but I think there are still many people here who don't understand, so I think it's better to say it directly."
Kouenji smiled and gestured for invitation.
And Wu Yi raised the corner of his mouth.
"My meaning is very simple. I will not sacrifice any innocent person in the class just to pass the exam. As long as I think there is no one in the class who has a reason to be 'removed from the class', then I can get these 20 million points."
"But what if there is someone who has a reason to be eliminated?"
Kouenji seemed to have transformed into a dedicated supporting actor on the spot, and he took over as soon as Wu Yi finished speaking.
"Does that need to be said?"
Wu Yi's voice seemed to be covered with a layer of brown-red rust.
"Of course he deserves to be killed and sliced."
"..."
"..."
The two people spoke like a duet between two people, which stunned most of the people in the classroom. They had no idea what the so-called "reason for having to be eliminated" was.
Does it mean weak ability?
But considering what I said before, that doesn’t seem to be the meaning?
Only a very small number of smart people and... Sotomura Hideo could understand the meaning of Wu Yi's words.
As a traitor who had betrayed the class in the special exam last semester, he knew exactly what Wu Yi wanted to express.
So when he heard Wu Yi say that, Hideo Somura broke out in a cold sweat and the shirt on his back was instantly soaked, but fortunately he had his coat to protect him.
"So, Wu Yi, what is the reason you said for being eliminated..." Hirata Yosuke raised his hand uneasily again.
"Naturally, betrayal comes first."
Wu Yi placed his hands on the podium and leaned forward slightly.
"Remember the Paper Shuffle exam? If I remember correctly, you, Hirata, also participated in the preparation of the exam paper, so you should be very clear about the difficulty of that exam paper. However, Ryuen Sho's class scored an average of 95 points per person. How do you think this happened?"
"This……"
Hirata was at a loss for words.
There is no doubt that if we really rank them by academic ability, Class D is undoubtedly the lowest among the four classes, but they achieved the highest score in the entire grade.
There is obviously only one answer.
That is, there is a traitor within Class A.
Wu Yi retracted his gaze and continued.
"I won't say anything like I can forgive the betrayer if he comes forward now. Betrayal, no matter how small, cannot be ignored."
"Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal."
"Tolerance of betrayal is to harm one's peers. If there is a first betrayal, there will be a second one. We may be lucky enough to get through it safely the first time, but the second time, someone may drop out of school because of it."
"And I will use this time to find the traitor and get him out of this school."
