Class A with this lineup was actually not weak. Almost every one of the top five people could get full marks in the math test. Unfortunately, the last two temporary members were too unreliable, and in the end, they fell behind Class C's 14 points with a tiny total score gap of 655 points.
At this point, the two classes of Commander Special Exam AC were tied 2-2.
Volume 306: Chapter : The Best of the Best Sakura Airi
"Huhuhu~ It seems that the advantage accumulated in the first two rounds is no longer there."
In the multi-purpose classroom, looking at the big screen showing that after the first two project boxes were printed with big A, two more project boxes were printed with C, representing the victory of his class, and Arisu Sakayanagi spoke with a hint of provocation.
She used the affirmative answer she received when she asked Sakagami before whether students could talk freely with each other.
Indeed, using taunts at a time when the enemy's advantage is equalized and their emotions are already fluctuating can, to a certain extent, anger the enemy, causing him to become further impatient, thereby achieving the purpose of interfering with the enemy's thinking.
Unfortunately, the wrong person was used.
If he could be disturbed by this level of psychological warfare, he would not be Wu Yi.
"We just took down the ace, and you guys took down a pair of Cs, so we're even. The game is fun only when both teams are evenly matched."
Wu Yi shrugged casually, then began to hum to himself.
"Sakayanagi has a pair of C~Sakayanagi has a C~Sakayanagi has a C~Sakayanagi actually has a C~"
Although it was a bit unclear, I could still vaguely understand what he was saying.
The white-haired loli behind the control console on the other side suddenly turned pale.
As for Xing Zhigong, who was standing next to the podium, was quite far away, he didn't react until a while later and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Then, of course, he was scolded again by Sakagami Kazuma.
"Teacher Hoshinomiya!"
"Sorry……"
After the first four rounds of competition, the fifth round followed.
【Fashion show】
Rules: Two people are required, and the time limit is ten minutes. Both contestants try to highlight the temperament of mainstream aesthetics based on their own selected outfits, and the contestants will be scored by certified judges.
Commander: Rest.
This rule may seem strange and difficult to understand, but it is actually quite simple. To put it simply, it can be understood as role-playing.
To give a very brief example, even if you are wearing a monk's robe, please show the positive impression of Buddhism that the world mainstream has, and try to make yourself look as dignified as possible. Don't look unkempt, with shifty eyes and untidy beard and say that this is your unique aesthetic.
The judges will definitely not recognize it.
"Yeah, yeah~"
Arisu Sakayanagi curled the corners of his mouth with a hint of helplessness, and after a little thought, he dragged Hashimoto Masayoshi and Kamuro Masumi into the male and female groups respectively in the selection box.
Wu Yi naturally chose Kouenji Rokusuke and Sakura Airi.
The scene on the big screen switched. The venue of this game was in the stadium. Due to time constraints, no temporary stage was set up. They simply laid a long red carpet in the middle of the venue. Fortunately, the lighting and sound equipment were ready.
The first to perform was Masayoshi Hashimoto from Class C of the boys' group. The performance costume he chose was a game uniform borrowed from the school football club, and he was holding a football in his hands. As soon as he appeared on stage, the melody of "Cup of Life" resounded throughout the gymnasium.
For a moment, it seemed as if the 98 World Cup was restarted on site.
Hashimoto Masayoshi followed the rhythm and walked across the red carpet juggling the ball. Finally, he caught the football steadily in his hand with a beautiful shuttlecock kick and knee strike, bowed to the judges on both sides, and then turned and left.
The judges looked at each other and nodded slightly.
Not to mention, with Hashimoto's moves and his iconic Mohawk hairstyle, he really looks like a football superstar.
At least by high school standards, it's pretty good.
"The Cup of Life" had not yet finished playing when the music in the venue suddenly stopped. After two or three seconds of silence, the melodious aria began to flow slowly in the spacious space.
The judges were a little confused. This kind of music usually only appeared in wealthy families... No, it should be played in upper-class social venues. In other words, the male contestant from Class A was going to play the role of an upper-class person?
It must be said that for a high school student to play the role of an upper-class person with his or her experience is a bit unrealistic.
After all, most of those who go to watch the fashion show in person are upper class themselves. To act upper class in front of the real upper class, unless the person acting is good enough or is upper class himself, it is just like a husky howling... Why pretend to be so high and mighty?
Just when all the judges had a preconceived notion that the performance would be a success, a hand gently opened the red curtain at the end of the red carpet, and a dazzling golden light, like the sunshine on a sunny day over Portofino, came into everyone's sight.
"Oh my, it's so rare that I want to show off my beauty, but I didn't expect so few people would come to see me. It's really a pity."
Without any extra fancy moves, Kouenji, dressed in a suit, walked across the red carpet with confident and elegant steps, came in front of several judges, and waved to them with the graceful demeanor of a successful politician.
“Well, even though it’s a fashion show, since I’m already standing here, I guess there’s no need to discuss who will be the champion, hahahaha~”
After saying this, he laughed heartily and turned away, leaving the judges looking at each other in bewilderment.
After a while, one of the judges uttered something.
"That guy just now, is he the son of the Koenji chaebol?"
"seems like it."
There was no need to say more at this point, and the judges all lowered their heads to give their scores.
The boys' catwalk competition has now come to an end.
Next up was the girls group.
Class C was the first to perform this time. When the music changed and Masumi Kamuro, dressed like a model in a Paris fashion magazine, appeared at the end of the red carpet, several judges once again showed a look of slight approval.
Compared to Hashimoto's football and the aristocratic upper class of Koenji, Kamuro Masumi obviously walked in a more conventional catwalk style, with her high heels making crisp clicking sounds as she stepped on the red carpet.
The most important thing is that her figure is quite tall among girls. A small section of her fair and slender calf is revealed under the slightly reflective silver windbreaker. Her steps are fast and powerful but not at all messy, giving people a sharp feeling. Coupled with her natural look of disgust, for some people with special fetishes, it is simply a special attack effect max.
And Masumi Kamuro's score is not low, which can be seen from the expressions on the faces of several judges.
"Sure enough, this slightly more eccentric style is popular now. When Hashimoto first suggested that Kamuro play, I was a little hesitant, but it seems that my worries were unnecessary."
Sakayanagi Arisu, who also noticed this, couldn't help but chuckle.
"But this way we can probably figure out what the judges like. I'm curious about what style of girls you'll send out, energetic? Or girly? But those seem to be outdated."
Wu Yi was totally unmoved and just smiled.
"Poke, of course it's Aidou Lu."
As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the gymnasium suddenly went dark in the surveillance footage. As the melody of "Summer Love" sounded, the stage lights in the dark space lit up in rows one after another, illuminating only the red carpet.
At the end of the red carpet, a red-haired girl in a cherry pink yukata appeared quietly and shyly, holding a marshmallow in one hand and gently holding her sleeve with the other.
￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥
Well, I changed the chess in the original work into Chinese chess. One reason is that I can’t understand chess, I absolutely can’t understand it, and the other reason is that it is the final battle of the entire command tower exam... Yes, that b from Kinugasa didn’t write any details at all.
I wrote a little bit about the first half when Horikita Suzune and Hashimoto came down, but after Lu Ge and Sakayanagi's chess level suddenly improved, I couldn't write about Kinugasa at all and could only give a very vague description.
Volume 307: Chapter : Another Draw
Inside the stadium, all the lights were focused on the red carpet walkway in the middle.
As the ethereal sound of piano playing was mixed with the faint sound of fireworks, Sakura Airi, wearing a cherry pink yukata and sandals, walked in small steps along the red carpet.
It is completely impossible to say that she was not nervous at all. Given her personality, she would stutter for a long time just when talking to people, let alone a public performance like this.
So in order for Sakura Airi to be able to perform smoothly, the entire stage lighting changes and music selection were carefully designed by Wu Yi.
The reason why I chose Summer Love is because the melody of this song can easily create the atmosphere of a summer fireworks festival.
Focusing all the lights on the red carpet can reduce the brightness of the surrounding light, hiding the judges in darkness and alleviating Sakura Airi's nervousness to the greatest extent.
There is no doubt that Wu Yi's plan was successful.
At this moment, Sakura Airi looked like a little girl who had made an appointment with her boyfriend to go to the summer festival, but her parents were different. She finally persuaded him and hurriedly changed into her newly bought yukata and rushed to the agreed place. Maybe she was not used to the shoes on her feet. She was walking very fast but had to take small steps to avoid falling.
This look perfectly expresses the young girl's anxiety and anticipation to meet someone.
You should know that Sakura Airi has never received any acting training. Her previous career as an idol and print model was entirely supported by her own foundation. It can be said that she is not even as good as Horikita Suzune in acting.
But as the saying goes, the best acting is to show your true feelings.
Facing the bright light falling from overhead, Sakura Airi kept repeating a conversation that had happened before in her mind.
[Sakura, when you go up, don't think about anything else, just imagine that I'm watching you from the front.]
[Eh? But I can’t really imagine this…]
[If you can’t imagine it, then don’t do that, because I am indeed looking at you from the front, even though it’s through a camera.]
【Is this so? 】
[Well, it’s true. 】
So, classmate Wu Yi, you must be looking at me now, right?
Sakura Airi raised her head slightly and looked at the scattered reflections in the darkness in the distance, and she said silently in her heart.
……
"Hmm~ It seems that the balance we worked so hard to achieve in the third and fourth rounds has been broken again."
Things change. In the multi-purpose classroom, looking at the 3-2 score on the big screen, Wu Yi uttered a familiar sneer.
Arisu Sakayanagi seemed to want to say something, but just as he was about to open his mouth he seemed to suddenly think of something, and in the end he just smiled and said nothing.
Up to now, five of the seven events have been completed. Among them, the three events in which Class A won were the three they prepared. It is no exaggeration to say that they relied on the home advantage.
So far, we can basically see that, to put it bluntly, the victory or defeat of the competition is likely to depend on which class proposed the project.
After all, every class has its own strengths and weaknesses, and those that are selected for the formal exam are all projects with almost 100% chance of winning.
In other words, the final outcome of this exam will be largely determined by the number of times the two classes are drawn to their respective home fields.
If Class A only draws three games and Class C draws four games, then Class A will basically lose, and the same goes for the other side.
"It's a really fierce competition, but Wu Yi's class has already won three games. As long as they win one more game, they will have a clear chance of winning. I wonder which team will be drawn for the last two rounds?"
Hoshinomiya tilted his head and stretched his neck while looking at the computer screen on the podium in front of Sakagami.
This time, Sakagami did not scold her, but just silently clicked the "Random Selection" option.
I don’t know whether he knew that it would be useless even if he said it, or whether what Xing Zhigong said was actually what he wanted to say.
The item bar on the big screen began to scroll for the sixth time, from slow to fast and then from fast back to slow, and finally stopped at the [Speed Mental Arithmetic] column.
"what……"
Wu Yi made a sound that indicated a bad premonition.
It should be said that among all the items, the only one he didn't want to draw was the mental arithmetic, because he had already asked it before and no one in the class was good at this aspect.
Oh, that divine beast of Kouenji is a possibility, but it’s okay to let him do a fashion show, but as for asking him to participate in mental arithmetic... just forget it.
As expected, Katsuragi Kōhei and Tamiya Emi joined Sakayanagi Arisu.
Wu Yi hesitated for a moment, then casually pulled in two more cannon fodders, namely Sato Maya and Shinohara Satsuki.
Seeing the candidate he chose, Sakayanagi Arisu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Are you actually going to give up directly?"
"There's nothing I can do. With other things I can still struggle, but this... You know what I mean by that, Arisu."
Wu Yi shrugged helplessly, this time he was really helpless.
“I can only look forward to the last round~”
"That's it."
Sakayanagi Arisu smiled and turned his gaze back to the big screen.
"I was looking forward to it a little, but if that's the case, then... I'll accept the victory in this round without hesitation."
Soon, the surveillance footage on the big screen jumped to show that Maya Sato and Satsuki Shinohara had already arrived at the classroom and taken their seats, as did Katsuragi and Tamiya from Class C.
As the time for both parties to take their seats and prepare passed, the rules were displayed on the projection at the front of the classroom.
【Fast Mental Arithmetic】
Rules: Two people are required, and the time limit is 30 minutes. The answer is obtained through mental arithmetic of addition. The accuracy and speed are compared. The class with the first place wins.
Commander: You have one chance to change the answer to any question.
'Question one, single digit, three times, five seconds'.
As the title appeared on the screen, the four contestants picked up their pens and prepared to answer.
The next second, the screen image changed, and three numbers flashed and appeared on it in sequence, each number was displayed for five seconds, and after the display was completed, it was quickly replaced by the next number.
