In fact, I can add unlimited points

The leaders of each class gathered in the multipurpose classroom.

There is no doubt that there is no other choice for Class A except for Shun Aragaki.

Class B is led by Katsuragi Kohei.

When they saw this big bald guy, everyone else present was a little surprised - after all, in a formal showdown with Class A, Class B would have virtually no chance of winning the exam, and the losing team's commander would be expelled.

"Ge Cheng, have you been abandoned by the class? That shouldn't be the case. Is this another one of Class B's traditional infighting tactics?"

Kaneda Satoru, who arrived at the venue around the same time as the leader of Class A, first greeted Aragaki Shun, and then saw Katsuragi Kohei, who was already standing at the door of the multipurpose classroom. He walked up to him with some curiosity and asked his question.

The tall Katsuragi remained as composed as ever, showing little reaction to the malicious speculation in Kaneda's words.

"I stand here with the belief that I will win this special exam. If you don't understand, then please stand aside and remain silent instead of deliberately damaging the atmosphere of our class!"

"Tch~ It's common knowledge in the school that Class B of the first year likes to fight among themselves. What kind of slander is this!"

Jin Tian's face showed a disdainful expression. "And you're still thinking about turning defeat into victory? After dreaming for so long, it's time to wake up and face reality, isn't it?"

Katsuragi Kohei ignored what the other person said and turned his head to silently observe the surrounding environment, which was quite like the saying "one cannot talk about ice with a summer insect."

Seeing this, Kaneda Satoru was not angry. He simply stood behind Aragaki Shun, looking every bit like a lackey.

Perhaps in his mind, once today's exam is over, the bald man in front of him will leave Advanced Education for good and be gone forever.

If that's the case, why get angry with a classmate from another class who's about to disappear?

Shun Aragaki listened to their conversation while staring out the window.

April is just around the corner, and today the weather is very sunny with a clear, cloudless sky.

It's a great day for going out.

Even if someone is expelled from school, they can easily take a bus home.

After about five more minutes, heavy footsteps finally began to sound from the front of the corridor.

The student who arrived just in time was none other than Ryotaro Hondo, the commander of Class D.

"Sorry, I chatted with my classmates for a while, I think I kept you all waiting."

"It's okay. According to the time notified by the school, you are not late. In fact, you are just right."

Shun Aragaki glanced at the mushroom-haired boy in front of him, but didn't say anything more.

The other party was fairly punctual and wasn't deliberately causing trouble. Moreover, it's perfectly normal for someone who is already prepared to drop out of school to spend more time saying goodbye to a few friends.

As for Katsuragi and Kaneda, they were both focused on the upcoming formal exams and naturally had no intention of bothering with a low-ranking student from Class D.

"Can't we go in now?"

"The school said they would inform the teacher when all four of them arrived."

It's probably just for the sake of complete fairness.

If the commander of one class is allowed to enter the multi-purpose classroom first, no one knows whether the other side will secretly do something underhanded in order to win.

The other students, apart from those in the command tower, would generally wait in the classroom on the other side, awaiting instructions from the multi-purpose classroom.

"It seems everyone has arrived. Then follow me."

After waiting for another two or three minutes, a senior faculty member came out from the front of the corridor. Led by him, everyone entered the multipurpose classroom and found that a wall had been built in the classroom that was not there on the first day, dividing the room in half.

For temporary use, this wall is quite decent, and the sound insulation seems pretty good as well.

The four commanders looked straight ahead and saw the four teachers in charge of the first grade lined up, waiting for orders.

"Students from Class A and Class B, please move to that side."

Aragaki Shun then gestured to Kaneda Satoru and Hondo Ryotaro to proceed with the plan, while he himself followed Sakagami Kazuma's instructions to the next room, with Katsuragi Kohei following behind Chabashira Sae, heading towards the same destination.

Obviously, in order to prevent students and teachers from colluding to cheat, the school specifically arranged for each class teacher to monitor the examination rooms outside the classes they were responsible for.

For example, the competition between Class A and Class B was jointly proctored by the homeroom teachers of Class C and Class D.

Conversely, classes C and D were handled by Chie Hoshinomiya and Tomoya Majima.

"The formal exam will begin in five minutes. If you need to prepare anything, such as going to the toilet or getting a drink, please do so as soon as possible."

After Kazuma Sakagami gave this warning, he and Sae Chabashira began checking the surrounding equipment to see if any accidents had occurred.

Seeing this, Aragaki Shun had nothing else to do, so he simply asked Katsuragi Kohei across the street how he felt.

"Even though the chances of victory are slim, if we lose this special test, as the Commander, we will have to take on the corresponding responsibilities and be forced to leave the Advanced Training Center. Why are you still standing here, Katsuragi?"

The leader of Class A was very curious, "Why not just have Hashimoto Masayoshi sacrificed? There probably aren't many people in your class who like him, right?"

"How arrogant!" Hearing Aragaki Shun's tone, which took victory for granted, Katsuragi Kohei closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he had an unprecedentedly fierce demeanor.

"For the sake of the class, I must fight for our hopes; for my own sake, I must seek justice for Yahiko. No matter what, I will never give up on this special exam..."

Anyone could see that if Class B of Grade 1 continued like this, it would only be a slow death.

To be honest, Katsuragi himself wasn't very confident that he could win this selection exam.

But it doesn't matter. Even if he can't win in the end, he wants to show his classmates the possibility of turning defeat into victory in the future.

The exam has a total of seven assessment items, and Katsuragi's goal is simply to win as many as possible.

To secure a decisive victory, at least four events need to be won, but for Class B, winning even just three, two, or one event is of extraordinary significance.

This means that Class A and Class B in the first year are still on the same level, and there is no significant gap between them.

In other words, gods cannot be injured or bleed—any being that can be injured can also be killed, and that would not be a god, but merely a mortal being in a higher position!

Similarly, if Class B can win even one event in this special exam, it will prove that they still have a chance to catch up and make a comeback in the future.

"Oh, so that's what you all think?"

Sensing the will in the bald man's gaze, Shun Aragaki narrowed his eyes slightly, a playful smile playing on his lips.

To some extent, what the other party thought was unreasonable—there were a total of seven competition events, and the final result was 7:0 or 6:1. It seemed like only one game had changed between the two scores, but in reality, the latter was still at the same level, while the former could be a world of difference.

"Since that's the case, then I have no choice but to use all my strength to bestow despair upon you!"

I was originally thinking I could just give it a pass, but now it seems I have to take it seriously.

“Class B doesn’t need the enemy’s pity,” Katsuragi Kohei replied calmly. “We will earn the glory we deserve through our own strength.”

At this point, the two had nothing more to say, and everything would be decided in the competition.

"That's about it. The selection exam is about to officially begin. Please take your seats in the designated areas."

Kazuma Sakagami checked the time on his phone and began giving instructions. As a result, Shun Aragaki and Kohei Katsuragi were facing each other through the equipment, and neither of them could see what was happening on the other's side.

The leader of Class A opened the computer in front of him, which displayed photos of the faces of the Class A members. Apart from himself, there were a total of fifty-one people.

According to the examination rules, as the commander, I need to assign these members to suitable projects so that they can give full play to their abilities.

Immediately afterwards, the large screen in the middle displayed a total of twenty items prepared by two more classes.

"I am Sakagami, in charge of administering the special exams. Now, we will begin the final special exam of the year. Please select five items from each class and press the confirmation button."

Upon hearing the instructions, Shun Aragaki did not hesitate and immediately selected the five items from Class A's ten projects that would actually be used for the duel—

[Quick Mental Arithmetic], [Mathematics Exam], [Physics Exam], [Chemistry Exam], and [Biology Exam].

Not long after, the selection process for Class B, under the command of Kohei Katsuragi, was also completed, and the results were displayed on the big screen—

[100-meter sprint]; [disco ball throwing]; [relay wrestling]; [swimming] and [standing long jump].

Hmm, quite a clear comparison.

If the projects decided by Class A are all written tests, the goal is to extend the scope of the command tower's interference to the maximum extent possible.

As the opposing team, Class B's projects are all sports-related, aiming to minimize the interference of the command center in terms of rules.

This is a very reasonable strategy.

Since Shun Aragaki is in charge of commanding the team and cannot personally participate, if Class B wants to win, they cannot compete with Class A in terms of overall strength. Instead, they should focus on the top-tier strength of Ayanokoji and Koenji to develop their strategies and find ways to allow the two to participate in more matches.

The exam rules stipulate a limit on the number of participants per event: a minimum of one person and a maximum of twenty participants per event, including substitutes. A class can register a maximum of two events with more than ten participants each.

In addition, the participation conditions are also stipulated that each student can participate in one event, and only if all students have participated in one round of examination events can they participate in more than two events.

From this perspective, the best way for Class B to beat Class A is to design two projects with more than ten participants each, with the winning condition being the class of the first-place winner.

Then, Koenji and Ayanokouji will each lead a team. As long as they quickly go through a round of the B class, they can continue to participate in the second round of the competition.

If they are lucky enough, Koenji and Ayanokoji could each win two events, securing victory with just four events.

In this process, the command tower, which is in charge of directing the operation, needs to assign the students of Class B, including the two of them, to the right projects at the right time. This is undoubtedly the key role, which is why Katsuragi Kohei chose to do it himself instead of handing the task over to Hashimoto Masayoshi.

Ignoring the thoughts of the two commanders, and seeing that the events for both classes had been decided, the class teacher of Class C continued to preside: "Next, a completely random draw will be conducted, and the school will decide the seven competition events."

"The giant screen in the center will display the results of the lottery. Please look over there."

Aragaki Shun turned his head to look and saw that the screen had turned into a 3D image, displaying the words "Drawing lots".

After a few seconds of flashing, the first battle of Classes A and B, as shown in the image, was—

[Math Exam]

Number of people needed: Two;

Time limit: 50 minutes;

Competition rules: The class that answers the questions within the scope of this year's curriculum first wins;

Command Tower: Only one participant can be selected. At any time, the Command Tower can provide answer suggestions from the side, and the participant can decide whether to adopt them.

"The first event was a Class A project, so it seems I'm still lucky."

Aragaki Shun smiled outwardly, but inwardly he was not surprised at all.

His personal panel originally had a talent called "Turning Misfortune into Good Fortune", which was later merged with "Abnormality Ignore" and automatically advanced to "Abnormality Correction" after reaching level 6.

Besides being unmonitored and unrecorded, its effects also greatly increase his luck and correct some hidden unfavorable factors.

Therefore, as long as it's truly a matter of random draw and luck, Shun Aragaki will absolutely not lose to anyone.

"This is only the first game, not to mention that Class B might not necessarily lose."

Katsuragi Yasushi's face remained unchanged.

With both classes having five events, the probability of selecting either class for the first match is 50%.

Therefore, it is quite normal that Class B's project was not selected.

It is indeed difficult to defeat the opponent in the written test rules set by Class A, but the key to this special test is how to win on the item chosen by the opponent.

Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, we should give it a try.

Therefore, for this match, Katsuragi Kohei directly assigned the two students from Class B who were best at math, besides Koenji and Ayanokouji, to try and get a point.

Shun Aragaki then chose Chihiro Shiranami and another above-average student from Class A. He then decisively used his authority in the command center to personally supervise Chihiro as she did the exercises, sending her text messages to correct any mistakes she made.

Fifty minutes later, amidst an increasingly somber atmosphere, the school began to announce the results—

"The winner of this project is Chihiro Shiraha, who scored 100 points. Therefore, Class A wins."

This was an expected result, and even the bald man was only slightly disappointed, thinking to himself that it was just as expected.

Soon, the second competition was announced—the Chemistry Exam.

Once again, a project from Class A was selected.

This time, Katsuragi Kohei instinctively frowned.

349. Class A won three consecutive matches; therefore, Ayanokouji made his move.

As the second competition approached, it was once again Class A's project that was selected.

Katsuragi Kohei instinctively frowned, a bad premonition rising in his heart.

"Phew~ Calm down. Class A has four projects left, and Class B has five. With a probability of four in nine, it's quite normal for the school to randomly assign projects to the other side."

[Chemistry Exam]

Number of people needed: four;

Time limit: 50 minutes;

Competition rules: The class that answers the questions within the scope of this year's curriculum first wins;

Command Tower: Only one participant can be selected. At any time, the Command Tower can provide answer suggestions from the side, and the participant can decide whether to adopt them.

"Looks like Class A is going to take another point." Aragaki Shun chuckled as he assigned suitable contestants via computer.
