July 19th.
On the boundless sea, the St. Venus was slowly sailing.
At this time, inside the movie theater.
Hikigaya sat together with Amikura Mako, Ichinose, and the others, listening to the teachers on stage explain the remaining exam rules.
Uninhabited Island Special Exam Summary.
A survival exam where all groups collect points over a two-week period to compete for scores.
During the exam period, if the entire group withdraws due to retirement, that group will immediately lose their qualification (all collected points become invalid, and their rank will be determined at that moment).
Summary of Basic Movement Rules.
Designated areas will be announced four times a day (three times on the first and last days, no random designation).
Arrival times at the locations are 7–9 AM, 9–11 AM, 1–3 PM, and 3–5 PM.
There is a pattern to the designated areas; three times a day, they are limited to a range of two squares forward, backward, left, or right, and one square diagonally.
Once a day, there is a random designation where the location of the designated area is unknown.
(Random designation will not occur twice in a row)
Groups arriving in the designated area will receive 10 points for 1st place, 5 points for 2nd place, and 3 points for 3rd place.
The arrival order reward will refer to the record when all group members have arrived in the designated area.
After arriving in the designated area within each time frame, everyone will be given arrival points.
If one has already arrived at the location at the stage when the designated area is announced, one person will get 1 point, but the arrival order reward will be invalid.
Ignoring the designated area arrival three times in a row will result in a penalty. Points will be deducted according to the number of times.
(But as long as one ignore is stopped, the accumulated value will return to zero.)
Summary of Watches.
Health status will be managed around the clock by the school through the watches.
If abnormalities such as damage are detected, no points can be obtained, so confirmation is required.
Health abnormalities of the user will be notified through a ringtone. Although the warning ringtone can be ignored, if the alarm ringtone sounds, one must head to the starting point.
(If one does not arrive within twenty-four hours, they may be withdrawn from the exam)
There are twelve types of schedules within the watches, and the order of designated areas for each schedule is different.
If the alarm sounds for five minutes without stopping, a medical team will rush to the scene.
(In cases of cardiac arrest or low blood pressure, they will head to the rescue immediately)
Next.
The school listed several tasks.
Task: [Math Exam] Category: Academic Ability
Participation Condition: Sign up within sixty minutes after the task appears.
Number of Participants: One person (only one person in a group can sign up)
Registration closes when ten people are signed up.
Winning Condition: Compete for scores among students gathered within the stipulated time.
(Exam content varies by grade, but the difficulty has been adjusted to an equal level)
Reward: 5 points for 1st place, 3 points for 2nd place, 1 point for 3rd place. And winners will receive one day's worth of food.
Task: [Shot Put] Category: Physical Ability.
Participation Condition: Sign up within thirty minutes after the task appears.
Number of Participants: Groups of three or more.
(If it is a group of four or more, three of them can sign up to participate)
Registration closes when six groups are signed up.
Winning Condition: Compete for the total throwing distance of the three people.
Reward: 10 points for 1st place, 5 points for 2nd place, 3 points for 3rd place. All groups can choose one giveaway item as a participation prize.
In addition.
There are many other tasks, such as fishing, riddles, and so on.
However.
Most tasks require two or more people to participate; there aren't many tasks that allow single-person groups to participate.
This exam is clearly even more disadvantageous for single-person groups.
Summary of Tasks.
Tasks can appear anytime starting from 7:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM.
(On the first day of the exam, they start appearing from 10:00 AM, and on the final day, they end at 3:00 PM)
Tasks are divided into three categories; even the same content will be presented several times.
(40% Academic Ability, 30% Physical Ability, and 30% for others)
The time tasks appear cannot be predicted; to know the implementation status, one must go to the site.
Top winners will receive points or food, or rewards that increase the group size limit.
Summary of Tablets
Small tablets distributed to all students.
Can browse the map of the uninhabited island and confirm designated areas and one's current location in real-time.
Can browse task locations or detailed rewards.
From the fourth day of the exam until the end of the twelfth day, the scores of the ten groups before and after can be confirmed.
(One can also browse the details of the total scores of the top ten groups, the bottom ten groups, and one's own group)
After the sixth day, the GPS search function, which can confirm the current location of all students, will be opened (but each search consumes 1 point).
When a problem affecting everyone occurs during the exam, students will receive a message from the school.
When the battery is low, it can be charged at the starting point or specific locations.
(If the exam map application is used continuously, the battery life is about eight hours)
In addition.
Before the exam starts.
Each person will be allocated 5,000 special points.
They can be used to purchase practical items such as backpacks, tents, walkie-talkies, drinking water, water bottles, flashlights, power banks, kitchenware, lighters, and so on.
There are also entertainment items on a daily rental basis, such as swimsuits, beach balls, jet skis, and so on.
Exam briefing ends.
The school has also prepared cargo platforms for various items in the room, which can be tried out at will until 12:00 AM tonight.
"Then Hikki, Mako-chan, Chihiro-chan, let's go take a look too."
Looking at the crowd gradually gathering in front of the exhibition cabinets, Ichinose spoke quickly as she stood up.
"No need."
Hikigaya looked at the dense crowd and couldn't help but shake his head: "I'll leave my share to you guys; I won't go. I'll just buy the same as you."
"All right."
Amikura Mako and the others nodded and did not force him.
Long before the exam started, Hikigaya had already transferred two million personal points each to her, Shirami Chihiro, and Himeno Yuki from another group.
Even if they fell into the bottom five groups, they didn't have to worry about the expulsion penalty.
As for Ichinose, there was no need for him to worry, as Ichinose still held all the personal points of the other members of Class B in her hands.
Although with the cooperative team of Class B and A.
They likely didn't need to worry about these.
This was also just considered a type of insurance.
Watching Ichinose and the others leave, Hikigaya unobtrusively sized up the several loners who hadn't moved.
Ibuki Mio, Kouenji Rokusuke
Sweeping his gaze over them one by one, it finally landed on Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.
0.4 This exam is undoubtedly even more difficult for single-person groups.
And.
Only the top three receive class point rewards, which for Hikigaya is 100% an impossibility.
Compared to the exam.
Hikigaya hoped even more to observe Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's strength.
Although he didn't know what Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was thinking, since he wanted to ascend to A, it was still better to treat him as a potential opponent.
In the last selection project exam.
According to what he heard from Sakayanagi, Ayanokouji had already lost to her.
But Hikigaya wasn't that naive.
He felt it was likely that Acting Director Tsukishiro had done something, but that wasn't important now.
Being able to be called the masterpiece by the White Room.
Surely.
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's strength must not be underestimated.
