Bab 24: 24 Chapter 22 : Explanation of the Second Special Examination and the Dragon Group Group
On the Speranza Cruise Ship...
Shiro was currently checking the clock on his cellphone which he had turned off and it was now 20:35 and only 5 minutes left from the start to go to the Room on the 2nd Floor on the ship.
'This is my first time on the 2nd floor... Here? Has it started….I thought at the door of Room 204 by starting to turn off my cellphone
* Tok Tok * Tok *
-In Room 204, 2nd Floor
Shiro also started knocking on the door to go inside quietly.
"Enter!" said the male teacher's voice from inside
"Excuse me" I said opening the door and was surprised to see inside there were Horikita, Hirata, and Kushida sitting on the seat in front of Teacher
"Akazaya-kun!". The three of them greeted with a look in their eyes. Surprised to see me one group
"Horikita... Hirata... Kushida...!". I said and started to approach the three of them
"...Please, sit!" said Mashima Sensei while looking at me while waiting for his time
Shiro decided to quietly sit beside Kushida's seat, because it was the only one.
"I didn't expect Akazaya-kun to be here too!" said Kushida cheerfully
"I was surprised too!" I said with surprised eyes. 'Shit… I'm in the unpleasant Group!! I thought in annoyance and kept my expression normal
After that 5 minutes passed and now at 20:40 the homeroom teacher A started talking.
"Class D. Horikita, Hirata, Kushida, Akazaya, right? From here- I'll explain the special exams!" said Mashima Sensei which made the four of us surprised to hear that
"As expected?!…I thought I felt bad
"But Sensel-...?!" Kushida stopped
"Please calm down and listen. For this exam all 1st graders are divided into 12 Zodiac Groups which are patterned after 60 characters. You are 'Shio' the Dragon. Teamwork. This time, we will assess your thinking skills. Ability to analyze situations calmly and keep working on the task at hand. Ability to prepare yourself and Move to solve problems.
the ability to use imagination to become something of value" said Mashima Sensei while handing him a piece of paper
A postcard-sized piece of paper was passed between the four of us. The group name (Dragon) was written as well as the names of all fourteen students
assigned to this zodiac. And just as Mashima-sensei said, apart from the four of us, the remaining students of this zodiac group entered
in grades A, B and C.
The list is as follows:
Class A: Katsuragi Kouhei, Nishikawa Ryouko,
Matoba Shinji. Yano Koharu. Class B: Kanzaki Ryuuji. Andou Sayo, Tsube Hitomi.
Class C: Ryuuen Kakeru, Oda Takumi, Suzuki
Hidetoshi.
Class D: Akazaya Shiro, Kushida Kikyou, Hirata Yousuke, Horikita Suzune.
(A/N: The original novel should have 4 students from class C. But it was replaced by our main character, Akazaya Shiro. So there are only 3 for class D students and Class D is 4 people).
"Don't worry, any questions you might have right now, I'll answer them now, I'm sure you'll be able to understand once I've explained everything. Most likely?
In this exam, you will completely ignore the difference between
class A to D from the start, if you can do it, it will definitely be an easier way to clear this exam. From this point onwards, you will no longer be a member of Class D but of the (Dragons) group. Whether you pass or fail is no longer a matter of your class, but the whole 'group' as a whole now." said Mashima Sensei explaining everything to the four of us.
I think I'm starting to understand what this is even though I'm not sure about the bigger picture.
"There are four results in this exam, no more and no less. An explanation of this has also been printed on paper for you to peruse, but you may not be able to take them out of this room or take a picture of them. So memorize them at come here if you want it." said Mashima Sensel
The slightly wrinkled paper was rotated in front of us, it seemed the other students had already seen this writing while we were looking at this paper.
The basic rules of the exam are as follows: #Different Group Specific Exam Explanations#
In this test, the basic pillar will make students the 'targets' of each group. By using thinking skills
critically, you will achieve one of four possible outcomes by the end of the exam.
- At 08.00 on the day the exam starts, you must send the other group the fact that you have chosen the "target" from among you.
- The exam itself will mostly take place between 4pm and 9pm tomorrow
(Students are freed to act as they see fit during the day).
- For one hour every day twice, you have to get together with the group and talk.
- The content of the discussion will be left to the discretion of each group.
- At the end of the exam, you must identify the 'targets of the other groups. This will be between 9:30 and 10:00. Only one answer can be submitted from each group.
- Answers must be sent to the school via the specified address which will be sent to your mobile.
- 'The target must not be the one who can send the answer.
-You only have to answer the identity of the 'target' of the group you are assigned to. Other answers will be marked as invalid.
-Details of exam results will be sent to students at 11:00 pm on the same day.
Of course those are the ground rules we have to follow in this exam. There are more detailed rules and explanations given on paper and
as well as listed prohibited items.
There seems to be more rules and prohibitions than were given to us during the test on the uninhabited island. And here are four possible outcomes
what we can get:
-Result 1: If the answers of the 'target' as well as the rest of the group are correct, they will all receive personal points (excluding the 'target' members themselves).
-Result 2: If there are wrong answers or unanswered questions by someone other than the 'target', only the 'target' will receive 500,000 personal points.
But before I could read further into the rules, I noticed Horikita, Kushida, and Hirata nodded their heads as if they had understood the contents of the exam.
And Mashima-sensei who was standing watching all this continued the explanation in a flat and unchanging tone.
"For example, Hirata, you were chosen as the 'target' of this group. That means you must become the 'target' because only one 'target' is allowed to
this exam. Now, supposing Hirata was the one chosen as the 'target' which means the name 'target' of the (Dragon) group would be written as Hirata. When the selection is over, simply distribute this to the other members of your designated group and between 9:30 and 22:00 from the end of the exam everyone in the group only has to send the answer 'Hirata' to the school. If this is done, the first result condition will be met and everyone in the group will receive 500,000 personal points as a reward. In addition, the 'target' will receive 1 million personal points for successfully guiding the group to this result." said Mashima Sensei explaining everything
"1-1 million? Woah ..." Kushida said in surprise
"That means everyone gets 500,000 points and if you are chosen as the 'target', you will get even more.... Mashima Sensei continued all his explanations
This number of points was something every class wanted for itself. Because the 'target' in this case will receive the reward twice
more as points, they will suddenly rise to the top of the top class points.
"Now for the second result. In the identity of the 'target' group (Dragons) who guessed wrongly and the school must notify this.
Only the 'target' will receive 500,000 points while the rest will go without points": Mashima-sensei's response explained further to the four of us.
Anch if the exams were structured this way, as they say, there wouldn't be much difference between result 1 and result 2. After all, the target' would still receive a large amount of points. There was no reason why anyone would deliberately destroy their group and aim for the result. second, unless they want to deny points to another class and secure points to their own class.
"The 'target' position is of course a good thing. I would say that even if it's unfair to the other members. It doesn't matter the result, they will still have points. On the first result and they get one million points!" said Horikita calmly
It seems Horikita feels like being chosen as the 'target' to get more points.
Of course I don't blame him. It was natural to want to be the 'target' given his special status. But it's still too early to
That said, there are still 2 other possible outcomes that have not been revealed and there must be some trick hidden in those results in order for such points to be awarded to the 'target'.
"Sensei, what was the 3rd and 4th result? You haven't explained it to us yet" Hirata asked
"Do you understand the first two results? If so, I can proceed to explain the remaining results. Mashima Sensei said
"Yes... I understand. Please tell us the remaining results". Kushida said curiously
"The remaining results are printed on the back of the paper, but make sure to wait before turning the paper over" said Mashima Sensei
My hands froze for a moment before we flipped the paper over to the other side. Mashima Sensei just stares at us with a glare as we begin to understand the rules of this exam.
It seems that from the moment we read the instructions, the exams have already started.
"W-wait a minute, I don't understand." Kushida responded with a confused face
Even though Mashima-sensei did make the rules clear to us, it seems Kushida still couldn't understand the instructions.
"Okay, I'll explain a little more. Have you played Jinrou's game before?" Mashima Sensei asked "Jinrou's game was once popular, so I
have played it before. This is very
interesting ": Kushida responded cheerfully
The four of us fortunately understand Jinrou's Game, as for Shiro he already knows about the 'Villagers' and 'Werewolves' games very well. Then Mashima Sensei explained at length about Jinrou's game which we don't understand even though we know how to play it.
"Of course, you already know that there is only one 'target' in the group. Once the identity of the 'target' is revealed, the third and fourth results become possible for the group." Mashima Sensei said after explaining everything
"And that ... what is written on the other side of this writing .... what can reverse it now?".
Mashima-sensei just nodded when Kushida asked and together, we flipped the paper to the other side. The remaining two possible outcomes are written there. For these two remaining results, the answer will be received by the administration at any time during the exam period within 24 hours. We will also continue to receive answers for these remaining results 30 minutes after the end of the exam. But if there are still errors in answering during this period the penalty will apply.
-Result 3: If someone other than the "target" answers the question before waiting for the allotted time and answers correctly, the class belonging to the answerer each gets 50 points and the answerer himself will get 500,000 points for himself.
On the other hand, the class whose 'target' was identified would receive a penalty of -50 points for all their classes. Once this is accomplished, the exam will end for the group. However, if a member belonging to that class answers 'target' correctly,
previous results will be invalid and the test for the group will continue.
-Result 4: If someone other than the 'target' answers the question before waiting for the allotted time and the answer is wrong, the class answered
by the answerer will receive a penalty of -50 points each, but the 'target' will still receive 50,000 personal points. If the answer
wrong, the group exam will end. However, if the member belonging to the 'target' class is the one who answered incorrectly,
the answer will be considered invalid and will not be accepted.
'the existence of targets and traitors. This match finds them between each other.... Or hides them' I thought calmly and knew all about this Trial
The four options available to the group now are:
-Spread the identity of the 'target' and complete the exam together.
-Wrong answer and the group loses but the 'target'
still receiving points.
- The traitor reveals the identity of the 'target.
- The traitor ignores the assessment of the 'target !.
"Tomorrow all of you will be in the assigned room at 1 pm and 8 pm. Also, make sure to be careful with restrictions later on" said Mashima Sensei as he walked out of Room 204 calmly
Being a Target is what everyone wants?! I thought with Sweatdrop
"Please Cooperate Horikita-san, Hirata-kun, and Akazaya-kun!" Kushida said cheerfully
"Yes, please cooperate!" Horíkita said flatly
"Me too, everyone please cooperate!" said Hirata with a big smile
"Uhm, please cooperate too!" I responded flatly while looking at the clock on the wall with the time already finished for the explanation of the Special Exams
Laly we all decided to go out of the Room by separating because it was already very late with Shiro walking with Hirata.
The only difference in the choices is the number of points awarded to each member of the group. The best result is that the identity of the 'target' will be disseminated to all and wait until the end of the exam. Answering correctly to receive 500,000 points each with the 'target' receiving 1 million points.
Shiro's Personal Points: 51,500
