Practical teaching: Starting from the soul traveling through Dragon Garden

Chapter 436 Reward or Punishment

The meeting ended in an unpleasant manner. Although there was only one "ghost", everyone had his own ulterior motives. It was hard to imagine how difficult it would be to get the group members to unite without knowing who the "ghost" was.

Naturally, no one was naive enough to believe what everyone said at the meeting just now. After all, anyone could be telling the truth or telling lies. The real purpose of Long Yuan's test just now was not to verify who the "ghost" was, but to send out a message. Long Yuan didn't know who the "ghost" was.

In fact, Ryuen knew that Nishino was the "ghost".

As soon as Nishino saw that the letter from his school was red, he sent a message to Ryuen. It was not because Nishino trusted Ryuen so much, but because Nishino knew very well that even if he hid it from Ryuen, if Ryuen wanted to investigate it, he would definitely be able to do it, it would just waste some time. Hiding the truth from Ryuen was tantamount to betrayal, and Ryuen would never show mercy to those who betrayed him.

So Nishino could only gamble, betting that Ryuen would not abandon her for the first place because of her loyalty and because they were in the same class. After all, Nishino's grades were pretty good, and if she was expelled, it would definitely be a big loss for the class. Nishino could only bet that her value was higher than the reward for the first place.

However, after reading the message, Ryuen asked Nishino to pretend that he had not seen the news from the school. Nishino didn't know what the meaning of Ryuen's doing was, but he still did as Ryuen ordered.

In fact, Ryuuen was also thinking that according to the rules of the game, only the first and last place groups were at risk of being expelled. In other words, as long as they got a middle ranking, the safety of the entire group could be guaranteed. So Ryuuen concluded that the reward for the first place would definitely be very generous. Whether or not to sacrifice Nishino depended on what the reward given by the school was.

But Ryuuen was still a little uneasy, as he always felt that this exam was very strange. If the "ghost" was not Ayanokouji, then it meant that the "first place" was within his grasp. After all, in Ryuuen's group, not to mention the strength of the girls, the boys were all considered the top combat power in each class.

Long Yuan didn't believe that this grouping was a coincidence. According to the school's usual practice, they should try to balance the strength of each group. The strength of Long Yuan's group was obviously ridiculously high, which seemed like a "customized champion" for Long Yuan.

At 8 o'clock the next morning, the school issued more detailed rules:
The examination items are divided into seven categories, including two recreational games: snowball fight, curling

Biathlon: skiing, ice sculpture

Two knowledge competitions: Hokkaido humanities knowledge test, Hokkaido geography knowledge test
Free competition: Members participating in the free competition will be randomly matched with opponents, and one of them can freely decide the competition event if conditions and venue permit.

For each game, the team must select two members to participate, and each member is limited to participating in two games.

For each race, first place earns five points, second place earns three points, and third place earns one point.

The team with the highest total group points (one person dropped out) will receive 14 million points (2 million points per person) and 350 class points (50 points per person).

The second place in the total group score will receive 800,000 points (100,000 per person) and 40 class points (5 points per person).

The third place in the total group score will receive 400,000 points (50,000 per person) and 40 class points (5 points per person).

The last person in the group (seven people dropped out) can get 20 million points (one person) and 100 class points (one person).

As soon as the rewards were announced, the group went wild. The reward for the last place was higher than that for the first place. In other words, the "ghost" in the last place group could get 20 million points and 100 class points. What did the school mean by this?
If before the reward came out, the team members could still reconcile with the "ghosts" and just get a middle ranking, but as soon as the reward came out, all the "ghosts" were tempted in an instant. Twenty million points are enough to save their lives in times of crisis and can also be used to transfer to another class. One hundred class points seem dispensable at this moment.

I don't know when Nishino stood behind Ryuen, holding the back of Ryuen's clothes, with a terrified expression: "I'll listen to you." Ryuen grinned: "Don't worry, I'll keep you safe."

After getting Ryuuen's assurance, Nishino finally felt relieved.

The snowball fight competition will be arranged at 9 o'clock, and the ice sculpture competition will be arranged at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. There will be two competitions a day, and the competition will be completed in four days.

Long Yuan called the team members together again, and everyone sat together to discuss the participants in the snowball fight game.

"Raise your hands if you want to participate."

The moment Ryuuen spoke, except for Nishino, the remaining three girls raised their hands. Compared to other competitions, it was not shameful to lose in the entertainment competition, and the three girls did not think that they could still demonstrate their strength in other competitions. However, each of them had to participate in two competitions. In order not to fall to the last place, they tried their best to choose entertainment competitions that would not drag their team down. Logically, it was absolutely impossible for their group to be the last, but the girls were still worried that if Ryuuen was the "ghost", they would be in real danger.

The boys are not very interested in the snowball fight game. In Long Yuan's mind, the best combination is a boy and a girl. The girls are just there to make up the numbers, and the points still depend on the boys.

"Then the first match will be between Ayanokouji and Yamamura."

Ayanokouji was also surprised by the unquestionable tone, as it was the first time for him to have a snowball fight. Yamamura also didn't expect that he would be a team with Ayanokouji, after all, Ayanokouji didn't raise his hand just now.

However, she was quite happy that her partner was Ayanokouji. Among the boys, she did not have a bad impression of Ayanokouji.

"Take care of me."

Yamamura extended his hand to Ayanokouji, who shook it gently: "Please take care of me."

The snowball fight is a free-for-all competition with two people in a group. All groups are in a huge designated area. Anyone who is hit by a snowball will be eliminated, and the one who survives is the champion.

The rules were simple and easy to understand, the venue was big enough for everyone to perform, and the school had also set up a number of shelters. Ayanokouji decided to hide for a while, take a look at the situation outside, and then go out when there were fewer people around.

However, Shancun felt that in a snowball fight, one must be the first to take the initiative and strike first. Then, less than five seconds later, as soon as she showed her head, she was shot in the head by an unknown junior.

Shancun's face was extremely ugly. When she came back to the group after the game, Long Yuan couldn't help but complain: "That's it?"

Shancun's face turned red instantly, but she couldn't refute it. She felt that she was indeed too stupid. Others wanted to comfort her but were speechless. They were gone in less than five seconds. It was really embarrassing.

But everyone still placed their hopes on Ayanokouji. Ayanokouji persisted for a long time without leaving the field, which seemed to be a good performance. But in fact, Ayanokouji just stayed aside and no one cared about him.
