Two weeks later.
During this period, preparations for the Cultural Festival were in full swing.
Since the Sports Festival, mid-term exams, and the Cultural Festival were all linked together, it also made the students incredibly busy.
And just today.
Second-year Class B.
Hoshinomiya Chie, wearing a cute little Western-style dress, walked into the classroom with a complex expression.
Walking onto the podium.
Hoshinomiya scanned everyone below with a complex expression.
Unexpectedly.
This exam would be held again this year.
If it's this class, there shouldn't be any problem.
However.
Would they be able to rise to Class A by then?
Thinking of this.
Hoshinomiya turned her head and her gaze fell on Hikigaya.
Whether it was physical ability or sports ability.
Hikigaya could not be said to have an advantage.
Nevertheless.
Hikigaya was the most special person she had ever seen.
As a teacher.
Hoshinomiya knew more than the others.
Whether it was last year's uninhabited island exam, Ichinose's rumors, the class vote, or the project selection exam.
Hikigaya's methods perfectly exceeded her expectations.
If it was Hikigaya.
When facing the choice of human nature, when facing an insurmountable wall, could he keep his original heart and then rise to Class A?
The key was.
She didn't know what choice Chabashira Sae would make.
"Everyone."
Hoshinomiya Chie took a deep breath and said:
"Before the October Sports Festival, I need you to challenge a new special exam!"
"A new special exam? What kind of exam is it?"
Summary of the Unanimous Special Exam.
Rule explanation.
For the tasks set by the school, all class students vote for the options already prepared (there are five tasks in total, with a maximum of four options).
As long as a unanimous vote for one of the options is not reached, the same task will be repeated.
If time runs out during a task, no matter what stage the task is at, it will not be recognized.
Tasks that reach a unanimous vote will be actually recognized, whether the special exam succeeds or fails.
Complete all the tasks set by the school to obtain fifty Class Points.
If all tasks cannot be completed within five hours, three hundred Class Points will be lost.
Special exam process.
The school presents a task and conducts the first vote (within sixty seconds).
If unanimity is reached, proceed to the next task and return to step 1. If not, continue to step 3.
A ten-minute halftime break (limited to inside the classroom; during this period, students can move freely and discuss with each other).
Sixty seconds of voting time.
(No mutual discussion allowed, only voting.)
(Students who do not finish voting within sixty seconds will suffer accumulated penalties.)
(If accumulated penalties exceed ninety seconds, they will suffer expulsion at this stage.)
Announce the voting results. If unanimity is reached, proceed to the next task and return to step 1.
If unanimity is not reached, return to step 3.
Example: Decide to add facilities to Keyaki Mall. Which of the following facilities would you like to add?
(The decision will be based on the voting results of the four classes, and the facility with the most votes will be adopted.)
A. Restaurant; B. Grocery store; C. Entertainment facility; D. Medical facility.
The exam is very simple.
The reward is not much, only fifty points.
But the punishment is extremely severe.
Once the exam is failed, a penalty of three hundred Class Points will be received.
It means.
This is an exam that must be passed.
Looking at the content on the screen on the podium, Hikigaya was somewhat speechless.
He could roughly guess the content of this exam.
It's nothing more than testing human nature.
It's truly cutely naive.
Haha.
How could there be anyone in the world who would sacrifice a companion for Class Points?
The briefing ended.
The people of Class B gathered together again.
"I didn't expect."
Kobashi Yume lay on the table, her pretty face full of exhaustion:
"Before the Sports Festival, Cultural Festival, and mid-term exams have even started, we have to prepare for another special exam."
"Yeah."
Amikura Mako also nodded gloomily: "As expected, once you reach higher grades, the academics become even more heavy, right?"
"Actually, there's no need to take it to heart."
"Hikki..."
Shiranami Chihiro's eyes flickered with light.
Recently.
Hikigaya would often say some comforting words, and occasionally tell some jokes to make them happy; he had become more talkative than before.
Completely removed from the gloomy list.
For a time.
He won the favor of many girls.
"Once you get out into society."
Hikigaya showed a smile and said: "You will find it will be even more hard..."
"Hikki..."
Kobashi Yume and the others' gazes became resentful: "What we want to hear right now isn't this."
Pity.
Occasionally Hikigaya would change back; perhaps these were his true inner thoughts.
Clearly.
Although they were shouting about being tired.
Everyone didn't really take this exam seriously.
"Everyone, cheer up."
Ichinose's face carried a brilliant smile that infected everyone.
"For tomorrow's exam, let me choose the first one, then Hikki chooses the second one, and everyone just choose according to their own thoughts."
"That's right."
Kanzaki also nodded flatly: "There's only a fifty-point Class Point reward; this exam shouldn't be very difficult."
"That's right!"
Kobashi Yume recovered quickly, cheering up again with her eyes glowing.
"Instead of tomorrow's exam, let's discuss what to do for the Cultural Festival. Besides the current menus."
"I also want to make some cookies that are easy to take away, and sweets like bean paste buns. That way, it's also convenient for guests to take home and taste with family and friends."
"What does everyone think?"
"Yume, good idea, it will definitely sell well!"
"Yeah, I think so too. Taking it back to eat with family and friends will surely be very popular."
"How about we put our energy into sweets that can be taken away?"
Clearly.
Everyone's energy was mostly placed on the Cultural Festival.
It couldn't be helped.
The Cultural Festival is the king of projects for high schoolers.
Although Hikigaya felt it was a bit unreliable, the level of high schoolers was just like this.
Anyway, he didn't expect them to actually open a real shop, so it wasn't a problem.
This exam wasn't difficult for them.
Even if there were some disagreements.
Presumably, with the cohesion of Class B, they could quickly unify their opinions.
Hmm...
Hikigaya turned his head to look at Shibata Sou, who was still sitting in his seat.
This guy seemed to be thinking about philosophical questions.
He didn't participate in the discussion for either exam.
Although Shibata would still follow their arrangements, and the uninhabited island exam also benefited from Shibata's performance to achieve good results.
But Shibata seemed to have moved away from the core position of Class B.
I wonder how the philosophical thinking is going.
Hmm...
There shouldn't be any problems, right?
Probably...
