It seems that the bald man in the center of the crowd is one of the leaders of Class A, Katsuragi Kōhei.
As for Hashimoto and Kito who we saw last time, they were a little far away from Katsuragi, especially Kamuro Masumi, who was standing on the edge of the crowd. I really doubted whether she had any friends at all.
Afterwards, Tsukishiro Takuma stopped paying attention to them.
"First of all, I'm glad that you all made it here today. Also, although there was only one student, I'm very sorry that someone was unable to attend due to illness."
As the roll call session ended, Mr. Mashima walked up to the podium that had been prepared long ago, with a megaphone in his hand.
Amid the students' confused looks, he said something that surprised many people.
"Then, we will begin the first special exam of the year."
As soon as he finished speaking, every class, without exception, had a stunned reaction.
"Eh? Special exam?"
Most people were thinking of this trip for fun, so anyone would be surprised to suddenly hear about an exam.
Only a few people seemed to have expected it and were mentally prepared.
"The exam period is one week from now, ending at noon on August 7. You will all spend some time together on this uninhabited island. This is the content of your exam..."
While explaining, Mr. Mashima looked at all the students.
As expected, questions were soon raised.
"So, we are not going to live on the boat, but on this island?"
"Yes, during the exam, you are not allowed to board the ship without a valid reason. You need to think about how to live on this island, including finding food, water and a place to live. The school will only give each class two tents, two flashlights, and a box of matches. Secondly, there is no limit on sunscreen. As for toothbrushes, one will be allocated to you according to the number of people. Finally, as an exception, girls can use sanitary products without restrictions. Please make your requests to your class teacher. That's all."
Faced with Mr. Mashima's calm tone, Chi Luning showed an extremely dissatisfied expression.
"What? Are we supposed to survive in the wilderness? I've never heard of such a ridiculous thing! This isn't an anime or manga. How are we supposed to allocate food when there are only two tents? And what about food? Are we supposed to learn from the savages and hunt wild boars with sticks? This is unbelievable!"
It wasn't just Chi who was shouting, there were also voices of dissatisfaction from other classes.
“This is a special exam based on real corporate training. It is very practical and realistic. In fact, there is a company that conducts training on an uninhabited island, and it is a big company that everyone knows about.”
Mr. Mashima cited examples from society and calmly suppressed the students' dissatisfaction.
Even so, some people feel it is unfair.
"Teacher, it should be summer vacation now, and we were brought here in the name of traveling. I don't think corporate training will do such a sneak attack."
Teacher Mashima glanced at the student and nodded as if in agreement. "I see, you did not misunderstand this point, but don't worry, the school will not force you to live a harsh life. From now on, you can swim at the beach and have a barbecue. It's also nice to have a campfire and chat with friends occasionally. The theme of this special exam is "freedom."
"Eh? Eh? Barbecue? The exam theme is freedom? Wait, my mind is a little confused, isn't it an exam?"
Everyone was dumbfounded. Exams and fun are contradictory things no matter how you think about it.
004 Exam Description
Teacher Mashima didn't give them time to think, he picked up the manual beside him.
"As a prerequisite for the special exam on this uninhabited island, we will first distribute 300 points to each class. Only by making good use of these points can you spend this week's special exam like you are enjoying a trip. We have also prepared a guidebook for this purpose."
The students looked at the manual in his hand, which was dozens of pages thick.
"In this guidebook, there is a list of all the items that can be obtained with points. Not only is there food and drinking water, but if you want to have a barbecue, we will also prepare equipment or food. In addition, there are countless game props that can be used to fully enjoy the ocean."
After hearing his words, the students' dissatisfaction slowly turned into calmness, and even some excitement.
"Can we get anything we want by using those 300 points?"
"Yes, no matter what it is. But I would like to remind you that you must learn how to plan and use it. At the end of this special exam, the remaining points of each class will be added to the class points, and the results will be reflected at the end of the summer vacation."
"W-what?!"
All the students present received the biggest shock of the day, which was no less than hearing the essence of the school at the beginning of the semester.
Whether it is normal classroom discipline or midterm or final exams, it is just a competition of a normal student's academic ability and attitude.
As long as students get high scores and keep their level from declining, Class A will always be Class A and other classes will never be able to catch up.
But if academic ability is not the only factor, then Class A will no longer be as calm as before.
"That is to say, if we endure for a week, our pocket money will increase significantly starting next month..."
Chi at the back seemed to be talking to himself. He didn't have any expectations for Class A or anything like that. The only thing worth looking forward to was the money from the school.
"Next, each class will be given a guidebook. Although it can be reissued if lost, it will cost points, so please keep it carefully. In addition, the absent travelers this time are students from Class A. According to the special exam rules, those who withdraw due to physical discomfort and other reasons will have their class deduct 30 points as a penalty. For this reason, Class A's exam will start with 270 points."
The students in Class A did not show any hesitation or complaints, which surprised the other classes. They did not expect that they could be able to narrow the distance right from the start.
Then, Mr. Mashima walked down from the podium, and the exam explanation was over.
Each class also gathered around their own class teacher, while keeping a distance from other classes.
"Hey, hey, points, pocket money, hey, hey, hey..."
The boys in Class D were immersed in the long-lost news, and the girls were also discussing how to use the points.
For the current D class, these 300 points are like hearing the sound of rain that has disappeared for hundreds of years in a dry land. It is simply an overwhelming surprise.
Chabashira Sae first distributed a watch to the whole class. It not only can confirm the time, but also has sensors to detect body temperature, pulse or movement, as well as GPS.
In order to be on the safe side, it is also equipped with a function to notify the school of an emergency. In addition, Chabashira Sae also warned that the watch should not be taken off without permission.
"But is it okay to wear it in the sea?"
"No problem, it's completely waterproof. If there is a malfunction, the school will send someone to replace the watch right away."
It seems that the school has really taken all aspects into consideration in this exam.
"Chabashira-sensei, if we don't use the points, we will have to find all the necessary supplies on our own, right?"
"Yes, the school will not interfere at all. You are responsible for preparing food and water. Even the tents are the same. Learning to think of solutions is also part of the exam. Don't even think about coming to me."
Compared to the others who were confused, Chi seemed quite cheerful.
"No problem. Just catch some fish and find some fruit in the forest. The tent can be made of leaves, wood and other materials. At worst, you can dig a hole and crawl into it like a savage. The worst that can happen is that you will hurt your body."
Chabashi Sae looked at him as if he were an idiot, and said helplessly, "Unfortunately, things may not go according to your plan. The last page of the manual records the deduction items. That will be extremely important information symbolizing this special exam. It is up to you whether to use it or not."
Yosuke Hirata opened the manual, which detailed the behaviors that would result in point deductions, and then read it to everyone.
"Thirty points will be deducted for students who are obviously unwell or seriously injured and unable to continue taking the exam, and the student will be withdrawn from the exam."
"If you are found polluting the environment, you will be deducted 20 points."
"Roll call is conducted at 8am and 8pm every day, and five points will be deducted for each person absent."
"If a student commits violence, looting, or destroys equipment against another class, the class the student belongs to will be disqualified immediately and all personal points will be confiscated."
"Chi, you can do whatever you want, but if even ten students fall into bad health, all your patience and efforts will be in vain. Once you are judged as having forfeited, you will not be able to return to the exam."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. The only way to get through this exam by enduring was blocked.
"In other words, at this point we can only spend a certain amount of points." A girl named Shinohara spoke up.
"I am against a war style that compromises from the very beginning. We should endure as much as we can."
"But if the body falls, won't it be the end?"
"Don't say such discouraging words. Just be patient and you will have 30,000 points next month!"
"Sure enough, I was a member of the Boy Scouts in Hawaii when I was a kid, so surviving in the wild is no problem for me!"
As Shinohara put forward his opinions, Class D soon became a mess. Some people insisted on the "complete endurance strategy", while others thought that "comfort is the most important thing."
Compared to other classes, Class D's biggest disadvantage at the moment is not the lack of talent or too many idiots, but the lack of a leader who can integrate the class.
"Chabashira-sensei, I want to ask you a question." Horikita Suzune suddenly raised her hand, "Suppose someone gives up after all 300 points are used up, what will happen?"
Chabashira Sae said calmly: "This situation will only increase the number of people dropping out of the exam, and the points will remain unchanged at zero."
"That means we won't get a negative score on this test, right?"
In response to Horikita Suzune's question, Chabashira Sae nodded in affirmation.
Soon after, Chabashira Sae explained about the tent. It was a large tent that could accommodate eight people and weighed nearly fifteen kilograms. If it was damaged or lost, no assistance would be provided.
As for roll call, it is done at the residence chosen by the class, and once the residence is decided, it cannot be changed without a valid reason.
She said she would act with the class until the exams were over.
005 Let’s Go (Update)
After the explanation, Class D soon started arguing again about the toilet issue.
After all, you have to live for a week. Apart from sleeping and eating, the number one problem left is how to deal with excrement.
Chabashira Sae took out a pile of cardboard boxes and said that this was your toilet.
Not only that, she also took out an absorbent cloth and demonstrated the water absorbing operation to everyone.
This absorbent cloth, like sanitary products, is also a prop provided by the school without restriction.
"No, no, no, no matter how hard you try, you can't do it. It's absolutely unreasonable!"
Led by Shinohara, almost all the girls expressed strong resistance at the same time.
"Don't worry, although it's a public toilet, it also comes with a lightweight tent that can be used for changing clothes, so you won't be seen by others." Chabashi Sae looked nonchalant, as if he was used to it.
"That's not the problem! You want to solve it on a cardboard box! I absolutely can't do it!"
"It's just a toilet. It's not something worth arguing about, Shinohara."
"I can't handle things like paper and cartons! And there will be boys around, right? That's disgusting!"
"What!? We're not perverts, who would look at you!"
"That's the truth. You look very perverted."
"What are you talking about, you ugly woman, you bastard!"
Just when Ike and Shinohara were about to fight, Chabashira Sae spoke again.
"Please be quiet. I will explain the additional regulations next."
"Huh? Are there additional regulations?"
"There are several strongholds all over the island. There is a mechanism of "right of possession" in those places. The class that occupies them will be given exclusive use rights. However, the occupation time is only eight hours. When the time is up, other classes can continue to occupy them. In addition, each occupation will earn you an extra point, but it cannot be used in the exam. These points will only be counted at the end of the exam."
"Huh? There are bonus points included, that's awesome! We must get them all!"
"Chi, I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious. This rule carries a lot of risks. You need to think carefully before deciding whether to take action. This is also explained in the manual."
As Chabashira Sae said, there are also detailed instructions in the manual.
「A special key card is required to occupy a base」
"You will get one point each time you occupy a point, and you can freely use the occupied point."
"If you use a base occupied by another class without permission, 50 points will be deducted."
「Only leaders can use the special key card」
"Leaders cannot be changed without good reason"
It was only at this point that Tsukishiro Takuma seemed to come to life a little.
Not only can you gain points by occupying strongholds, but you can also guess the leaders of other classes on the last day.
As long as you guess one correctly, you will get fifty points, and the other class will deduct fifty points accordingly, and lose all extra points.
If you guess wrong, you will also lose fifty points, but the extra points will not be affected.
"You must also decide on a leader, but you are free to participate or not. As long as you don't act recklessly, no one will know who the leader is. Once you have decided on a leader, report to me, and I will give you a key card with the leader's name engraved on it, valid until today's roll call..."
Tsukishiro Takuma understood that this exam was probably a combination of hide-and-seek and enclosure. In addition to dealing with the immediate living environment, each class also had to find ways to occupy strongholds or scout other classes.
If a leader is guessed, no amount of patience will help.
For ordinary people, it might be a troublesome thing, but in Tsukishiro Takuma's eyes, it was like giving away fifty points for free.
While he was thinking about what to do, the other classes had already left the beach and were heading in the directions of their own choosing.
However, Class D is still struggling with how to use the points, and the leader is still undecided.
