"Um... Chabashira-sensei, it seems like we just finished the special exam. Is there going to be a new special exam right now?"
"Relax, there will be a special exam, but not now."
Chabashira Sae walked up to the podium while speaking calmly, then turned to face everyone.
"Okay, everyone return to your seats. Next, I will talk about the key points of the special exam for the summer vacation."
Following the teacher's words, the whole class quickly quieted down, everyone returned to their seats, and waited quietly for the next instructions.
Then the ultra-wide, ultra-large fish-eye screen that almost covered the entire wall in front of the classroom lit up, showing a familiar super luxury cruise ship.
It was indeed a "super" luxury cruise ship, similar to the one they took to the uninhabited island during their first year summer vacation, but there were still some differences.
The most obvious thing is that the scale is much larger.
About... three times?
"Although it's a bit early, I'll still tell you about my plans for the summer vacation."
As Chabashi Sae spoke, she pressed the remote control in her hand, causing the screen to dim before the students' smiles had a chance to fully bloom. When it lit up again, the picture had switched from outside the ship to inside the ship.
Lines of subtitles representing the summer vacation schedule are also displayed on it.
Chabashira Sae continued to explain: "From August 8th to August 4th, for eight days and seven nights, you can freely enjoy your summer vacation on this luxury cruise ship. Whether it is movies, games or food, everything is available, and there will be no special exams while on the ship."
"However, if you want to fully enjoy this ship trip, you must pass the next special exam safely."
There is a saying that goes, "If it is a blessing, it is not a disaster, and if it is a disaster, it is inevitable." This is exactly what the current situation is like.
What is supposed to come will come.
"The topic of this summer's special exam is still [Survival on an Uninhabited Island]. It is somewhat similar to the one you participated in last year. Both exams are conducted on uninhabited islands, and you need to use the points given at the beginning of the exam to purchase supplies, etc. However, this exam is more cruel and strict than last year, and in exchange, the individual points and class points awarded will be more."
Having said this, Chabashira Sae paused, pressed the remote control in his hand again, and the subtitles on the screen switched.
On July 7, we gathered at the playground, left the school by bus, and headed to the port to transfer to the passenger ship.
On July 7, the special examination officially began.
On August 8, the special exam was over, the rankings were announced on board, and the corresponding remuneration was paid. (The regular living expenses for August will be paid after the results of the uninhabited island exam are settled)
On August 8, you will have free time on the ship until the last day.
On August 8, we arrived at the port and returned to the school to disband.
From July 20th to August 3rd, a full two weeks, twice as long as the last uninhabited island exam in the first grade...
Wu Yi looked at the details on the display screen that Yuecheng had not previously stated and should have been supplemented and improved later.
"Let's get back to business. Although we also held the uninhabited island wilderness survival test last year, the difference this year is the 'scale'. Not only is the test time two weeks, but the uninhabited island used as the test site is also larger than the last time."
The scene switched again, and a pirate map that looked familiar to Wu Yi appeared on the big screen.
It was exactly the one Yuecheng showed him at that time, but that time, maybe the printer in the chairman's office ran out of color ink or something, so the printed picture was quite crude, and the whole thing was in black and white.
But now what is displayed on the screen is in color, and the lush forest area and the gray-white ridges without tree cover appear particularly bright against the color backdrop.
It is indeed a very large island. On the left side of the map, there are ten strips from 1 to 10 from top to bottom, and at the top there are also ten strips from left to right, numbered from A to J.
For example, the grid in the upper left corner of the map is called A1, and the grid in the lower right corner is called J10.
"If you want to understand the rules of the uninhabited island exam, you must first understand the rules for forming teams for this exam. In this year's uninhabited island exam, students can form teams of up to three people. Of course, you can also form a team on your own. The team members are limited to the same grade, which means that if you want, you can also form a team of three with people from other classes in the same grade."
"And small groups can be combined into large groups. There is no restriction on the size of the group. The upper limit is six people. My suggestion is that you should form small groups before the exam, find corresponding small groups to form a large group, and start collective action as soon as the exam begins."
"In terms of the gender of the group members, if it is a mixed group, more than half of the group members must be female."
It is easy to understand. It means that if you want to mix groups, there must be one boy and two girls in the group. Two boys and one girl or one boy and one girl are not allowed.
Such a regulation is quite reasonable. After all, at this age, girls' physical fitness is usually far inferior to that of boys, unless there are individual exceptions or they have undergone special training.
Especially in a place like a giant uninhabited island where you may not see a single living person even if you climb over a hill, if the boys in the group have any bad intentions, the girls left alone are doomed.
So either it’s all girls, or there are at least two girls in a trio, so that if anything unexpected happens, the other girl can react in time and call for help.
"But don't think that it will be easy to form a team alone. First of all, this exam is the same as the previous one, and it also carries the risk of expulsion. This time, the number of expulsions is the last five. As of now, I cannot reveal the details of the exam to you, so just remember this for now."
"If you are not careful when operating on an uninhabited island like this, you will get injured. Once you are judged to be unable to continue the exam, you will be taken back to the ship by the staff. If you happen to be taking the exam alone, then it's over. It's equivalent to quitting the competition halfway."
"In contrast, teaming up with others can disperse the risk to the greatest extent. For example, if Hirata, Hondou, and Sudo are in one group, if Hirata is injured and can't continue to take the exam, as long as Sudo or Hondou is still alive, they will continue to take the exam as a group. You should understand what I mean, right?"
Seeing that no one raised any objections, Chabashira Sae coughed lightly.
"We'll talk about compensation after you understand the importance of the team."
The images on the display screen continued to switch, and new subtitles were refreshed on them.
remuneration.
First place: 300 class points, 100 million personal points, 1 protection point
Second place: 200 class points, 50 individual points
Third place: 100 class points, 25 individual points
Top 50% (1st to 3rd place inclusive) teams – 5 individual points
Top 70% (1st to 3rd place inclusive) teams – 1 individual points
Note: The class points obtained by the first three teams are equally distributed among the classes of the last three team members. The number of team members does not affect the allocation of class points, which are equally distributed according to the number of classes that make up the team (rounded up).
"The above is the reward for this special exam. It should be noted that since the composition of the exam team is not restricted by class, and it is not calculated according to the number of people in the group, so in the end, whether it is rewards or penalties, they will be shared equally by the classes in the group."
"As for the penalties, the class points earned by the top three teams will be paid by the bottom three teams respectively. The first place will be paid for the last place, the second place will be paid for the second to last place, and the third place will be paid for the third to last place."
Chabashira Sae paused for a moment, thought about whether there was anything he had missed, and then said "oh".
"Finally, it's about how to offset the expulsion penalty. Generally speaking, if you want to offset the expulsion penalty in normal times, you need to pay 20 million personal points and 300 class points per person. However, this time it's different because it's a special exam. You only need to pay 6 million personal points to save the entire group, and it supports individual payment."
"Personal payment?"
Almost most people do not understand the meaning of this term.
Chabashirasae nodded slightly.
"Yes, it is individual payment. For example, if there are six people in a large group, then the six million points only need to be added up by the points of all the people in the group. If the total is less than six million, then the student who can pay one million to offset the expulsion penalty can also be exempted from the expulsion penalty individually."
"…May I ask a question?"
Horikita Suzune raised her hand.
"Regarding the rule you mentioned about 'when teaming up with other classes, the rewards must be shared equally', wouldn't it end up being that we can only team up with people from our own class?"
Even if we work hard and win in the end, there will be multiple classes to share the rewards, so it would be meaningless...
The girl thought so.
"If you think doing so will not benefit you, then just team up with your classmates. That's it." Chabashira Sae responded calmly.
This attitude clearly means "figure out what to do on your own."
"Okay, having said so much, I still have one last important rule to explain to you. It's about the most important 'tool' in this special exam."
"Props?"
Ignoring the student's questions, Chabashira Sae directly pressed the controller on the screen.
The slide changed one last time, and eight cards that looked a bit like those in Yu-Gi-Oh appeared on the screen.
There are two types of cards, ordinary cards and special cards.
There are five types of regular cards.
Head Start Card - gives you times the exam points at the beginning of the exam.
Double Card - Doubles the personal points rewards earned by the cardholder.
Half-off Card - When receiving a dropout penalty, the number of personal points required to offset the penalty is halved.
Convenient ride card - at the beginning of the test, the cardholder designates a team to use, and after the test, he or she can get half of the reward.
Insurance card - If the cardholder is disqualified from taking the exam due to physical discomfort during the exam, he/she will be given one day to rest.
Next up are the special cards.
Reinforcement Card - The student holding this card can serve as the seventh person in the team. The card takes effect from the start and is not restricted by the team's gender ratio rules.
Invalid card - When receiving a penalty, the personal points payable can be cleared to zero.
Trial Card - Cardholders can receive times the class points in rewards, but if the team fails to make it into the top % of the ranking, the team will be punished.
"Each student will get one of these eight cards at random. The specific card will be announced on OAA tomorrow. You can see your own and others' cards. But it is worth mentioning that the effect of the card is unique and cannot be stacked or multiplied. So there is no point in holding several cards at once."
"Before the exam begins, all cards can only be exchanged within the same grade, and neither special cards nor ordinary cards can be exchanged with classmates. Once the holder is changed, they cannot be exchanged again."
"Finally, only one of these three special cards will appear in each grade. Because they are randomly assigned, it is possible that three cards will appear in the same class."
After saying so much in one breath, even Chabashira Sae, the class teacher, felt a little dry in the mouth.
She coughed slightly.
"Well, there are so many things to cover, and many people probably won't understand it if it's just explained verbally. But it doesn't matter. We'll give you a guidebook on the uninhabited island exam after lunch break, and you can use it to confirm the rules."
"Besides, there is still plenty of time before the exam, so you should think carefully about how to take the exam and form a team."
As the female teacher finished her last sentence, the bell for the morning class rang at an opportune moment.
Volume 355: Chapter : Asahina-senpai's Devotion
As Chabashira Sae turned around and walked down the podium and out the door, the classroom quickly became lively.
As one of the core members of the class, the good guy Hirata immediately stood up and began to organize and discuss the team formation.
However, the two core girls, Kikyo Kushida and Megumi Karuizawa, slipped down from their seats at the same time and rushed to Wu Yi almost in no particular order, with their arms around him, one on the left and the other on the right, as if they had instantly transformed into left and right protectors, glaring at the latter with eager eyes.
Even the words spoken are largely the same.
"Let's form a team!"
"Team up with me!"
"..."
In fact, it's just perfect. A mixed three-person group must have one man and two women. Then Wu Yi, Kikyo and Hui can form a 3P team and have a happy trip to the island.
Under normal circumstances, Wu Yi would probably agree without hesitation, and after forming a team, see if he should find another group to form a larger group.
But unfortunately——
"Sorry, but not this time."
Raising his hands and gently placing them on the shoulders of his two girlfriends, Wu Yi patted them comfortingly.
"I have to go to the island alone this time, so I can't go with you."
"Well."
Although Kikyo Kushida usually looks naive, she is actually quite mature. She knew that Wu Yi would definitely explain next, so she didn't say much.
In contrast, Karuizawa Megumi has always been outspoken. She tilted her head in confusion.
"Hey, going to the island alone? Why?"
"Because... there are some things that need to be settled."
When Wu Yi said this, he glanced in the direction of Ayanokouji Kiyotaka in the classroom. Seeing that the latter was still sitting in his seat with an expressionless and autistic look, and had no intention of paying any attention to this side, he lowered his voice slightly and continued speaking.
At this point in time, Tsukishiro must have already told Ayanokouji everything that I asked him to tell him.
"Will it be dangerous to end it?"
Kushida Kikyo frowned slightly at this wording, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.
Wu Yi shook her head to indicate that there was no need to worry so much.
"As long as you're not with me, it's not dangerous. If I'm alone, it should be easy to handle."
This is the truth.
According to information disclosed by Tsukishiro, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, as the most successful test subject of the White Room, has a combat capability that is just above that of an elite soldier but below that of a special forces soldier.
As for Yagami Takuya and Amasawa Ichika, they are one level lower than Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, and their combat power is only close to that of elite soldiers.
With this level of combat power, even if Wu Yi is fighting alone in a head-on battle, even if the opponent brings a company of fully armed reinforcements, Wu Yi will be able to kill as many as he can. The difficulty is about the same as playing Fruit Ninja.
But if we bring Hui and Kikyo along, the situation will be different.
It is equivalent to Wu Yi having a "weakness".
