In fact, I can add unlimited points

Fifty minutes later, the final result was as expected—

"The winner of this project is Miki Yamamura, who scored 100 points. Therefore, Class A is the winner."

With Class A winning two consecutive matches, displaying a striking score of 2:0 on the big screen, Katsuragi Kohei's breathing became noticeably heavier, and there seemed to be quite a commotion in the Class B area inside the examination room.

Kazuma Sakagami and Sae Chabashira, who were in charge of proctoring the exam, exchanged a glance and announced a five-minute break to allow the leaders and participants of both classes to recover their composure before starting the next event.

Then, when the lottery results came out, both Katsuragi and the other students in Class B immediately erupted in chaos.

"This is impossible! Why is it always the A-class project?"

That's right, the project drawn in the third round was still from Class A—

[Biology Exam]

Number of people needed: five;

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.

"Two proctors, I suspect there is an unknown error in the lottery procedure. I request that the school check the relevant equipment."

Katsuragi Kohei's face flushed red as he stared sharply at the newly appeared competition event on the computer screen, already suspecting that Aragaki Shun had secretly tampered with it.

Based on the calculation of 5/10 multiplied by 4/9 multiplied by 3/8, the probability of Class A's project being selected for three consecutive games is actually only 8%.

Normally, at this point, Class B should have at least one project selected.

"Face reality, Katsuragi," Aragaki Shun shook his head and chuckled, "You guys in Class B are all unlucky bastards, otherwise, how would you have run into me this year?"

"Of course, if you're really not satisfied, it's fine to have the school re-inspect the exam equipment. I'm not in a hurry anyway."

"Teachers!" The bald man did not respond to the teasing of the Class A leader, but looked at Sakagami Kazuma and Chabashira Sae with a serious expression, because the only ones who could make the decision now were the highly trained school authorities.

But naturally, Katsuragi Kohei's request was not granted.

"Before the official exam, the school had conducted multiple tests on the relevant equipment and found no problems."

"Not to mention, for such an important and special exam, there have always been dedicated staff responsible for monitoring the network. Since the school has not announced the suspension of the exam so far, it means that no mistakes have occurred along the way. Your task as students is simply to continue to complete it."

Kazuma Sakagami also felt that Class B was a bit unlucky, but this kind of thing is not uncommon. After all, an eight percent probability is actually quite high for some lucky people.

Therefore, he directly rejected Katsuragi Kohei's application and asked the two of them to hurry up and finish this third match, since there were still four matches left to play.

With things having come to this point, no matter how unwilling the bald man was, he could only sit back down in front of the computer and silently begin selecting people.

Shun Aragaki cheerfully sent Ryoko Nishikawa, who had transferred from Class B, to the field, and then immediately used his command authority to take over the game.

As a result, the score in this special test quickly reached 3:0, and Class B suffered their third consecutive defeat.

"Just one more loss, and Katsuragi, your expulsion from school will be inevitable."

The bald man didn't seem to want to reply. He stared intently at the computer screen with wide eyes, and the atmosphere around him was so tense that it was almost suffocating.

Upon witnessing this scene, both Kazuma Sakagami and Sae Chabashira, who were in charge of proctoring the exam, wore solemn expressions.

They knew that the next project would be the most crucial moment of this special exam. If the machine still randomly assigned a project to Class A, then it could only mean that fate might truly exist.

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5... 2, 1!

As the countdown on the screen reached zero and the new lottery results were announced, some people finally breathed a sigh of relief.

.........

[Quick Mental Arithmetic]

Number of people needed: one;

Time limit: 30 minutes;

Competition rules: The class that wins first place in mental arithmetic will be the winner, based on accuracy and speed.

Command Tower: Can provide answer suggestions at any time, and participants can decide whether to adopt them.

"The concept of bad luck can sometimes be really frustrating."

In the preparation area of ​​Class B, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji calmly watched the fourth competition event displayed on the large screen.

Since the start of the exams, four consecutive sessions have featured projects from Class A, leading one to suspect that student council president Shun Aragaki may have used his authority or a massive amount of personal points to do something behind the scenes.

He hadn't forgotten that the currently highly developed acting chairman was Tsukishiro Tsuneo, who had been sent by that man to capture him and bring him back to the white room.

If the goal was to leverage Aragaki Shun's control over the first-year students in order to expel him as quickly as possible, then it's not impossible that the two of them made some kind of deal in private.

"What should we do now? If you two continue to do nothing, then after losing this match, Katsuragi will definitely be expelled from school."

Long Yuanxiang had his hands in his pockets, and his expression was also very unpleasant.

According to their initial plan, if the school could draw four Class B projects from the seven competitions, they would have a higher chance of winning.

However, things didn't go as planned. With the selection process evolving to its current state, Class B's plans have essentially failed.

So the question is, what should we do about the fourth game?

We can't just let Class A win four games in a row without putting up a fight and watch the class lose and Katsuragi Kohei get expelled, can we?

"I'll go!"

Before Koenji Rokusuke could speak, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka stood up abruptly.

"I will turn the tide and take the victory from Shun Aragaki!"

Unlike Katsuragi Kohei, the greatest masterpiece of the White Room never regarded the one from Class A as an invincible god.

For him, if he couldn't win this special exam, it would be meaningless to drag it out until the end and barely win one or two items.

So he's going to make a move—

If they can seize this crucial moment and interrupt Class A's upward momentum, then as long as they select Class B's events in the remaining three matches, they will still have a chance to turn the tide!

.........

"Oh ho~ Our masterpiece, you finally couldn't resist anymore?"

Meanwhile, Yuecheng Changcheng, who had been watching the first-grade special exam progress from another classroom, couldn't help but laugh.

He had been eagerly anticipating the showdown between the only finished product in the White Room and a true genius.

Or rather, among the upper-class groups who are paying attention to this highly educated new generation, many people probably share the same expectations.

Thinking of this, Yuecheng Changcheng asked the staff member next to him again, "Four consecutive events have been Class A projects, so the lottery procedure shouldn't have any problems, right?"

"Yes, Chairman, we have confirmed it repeatedly. So far, all the lottery results have been randomly generated, and absolutely no one can interfere."

Upon hearing this answer, Yuecheng nodded in satisfaction.

Because this special exam involves many powerful forces such as the Aragaki family, the Koenji Zaibatsu, Kanzaki Heavy Industries, the Sakayanagi family, and the White Room, even as the acting chairman, he dared not secretly manipulate things or do anything that would violate the rules.

Otherwise, the many directors who have been keeping a close eye on his development would certainly not mind exposing the matter directly.

At that time, those heavyweight powers will know whether they were trying to use their next generation as a stepping stone to the White House's greatest masterpiece, or deliberately using their power to suppress them at the rule level... and then things will get very serious.

Therefore, after the rules were announced, all he could do now was keep an eye on the exam process to ensure that the school's higher-ups would not deliberately target Kiyotaka Ayanokoji through their devices.

In addition, any unnecessary actions could cause misunderstandings.

"So, is it really just a matter of luck?"

There's nothing we can do about that.

As the saying goes, human effort can't defy fate, so everything depends on how well Class B of Grade 1 performs.

.........

In the classroom where the command tower was located, Katsuragi Kohei had already seen Ayanokouji Kiyotaka standing up in the preparation area through the screen. After realizing that this was a hint from the other party, he no longer hesitated and directly selected the person to participate in the fourth match.

The student in Class A who was introduced by Shun Aragaki and participated in the "Quick Mental Arithmetic" competition was Honami Ichinose.

On the surface, among all the first-year students, the top two in terms of academic performance are Shun Aragaki and Ichinose.

No matter how you look at it, their teamwork is definitely superior to that of Katsuragi Kohei and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.

About three minutes later, Ichinose and Ayanokouji were both in their places in the examination room, and they nodded to each other as a greeting.

"There are ten questions in total. The questions get more difficult as they go on, but the points will also increase. Only if there is a tie for first place will an overtime round be held until one of the participants answers incorrectly."

Following Kazuma Sakagami's announcement, the screen in the audiovisual room began displaying the title: "One-digit number, three numbers, five seconds," which indicated the requirements for the first question.

Then comes the difficult problem that requires calculation: [6+9+1=?].

Well, it shouldn't be considered a difficult problem; it's at a level that anyone with normal intelligence wouldn't get wrong.

"Is the school playing house?" Shun Aragaki couldn't help but retort.

Across from him, Katsuragi Kohei was intently watching the screen on his computer, ready to intervene as the commander if Ayanokouji made a mistake, completely ignoring the leader of Class A.

On the contrary, Kazuma Sakagami, the homeroom teacher of Class C, responded, "After all, highly trained students pursue comprehensive development, and there are very few students who specialize in a particular skill. The questions set by the school are actually only considering the level of normal students who have not received special training."

It sounds plausible, but that doesn't change the fact that the problem is very easy. It seems this project will inevitably go into overtime.

However, Kazuma Sakagami sounded quite cheerful, probably because he thought he would be promoted to class advisor of Class B after this selection exam.

The topic continued to be discussed during their conversation.

After the third and fourth questions, the questions became two-digit numbers, and even more than six digits, but this still posed no pressure for Ichinose and Ayanokouji.

The fifth question was [three-digit number, six digits, five seconds]; the sixth question was even more complicated, it was [three-digit number, eight digits, five seconds].

Even at this point, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji's problem-solving speed hadn't slowed down. He even had the leisure to glance at the pink-haired girl who looked equally relaxed, seemingly surprised that she could keep up so effortlessly.

So far, both of their answers have been correct; neither Aragaki Shun nor Katsuragi Kohei has had any room to exercise their command authority.

The next question, number seven, was [three-digit number, twelve digits, four and a half seconds]; number eight was [three-digit number, fifteen digits, three and a half seconds]; and number nine was even [three-digit number, fifteen digits, two and a half seconds].

"This seems a bit too difficult..."

Kazuma Sakagami stared dumbfounded at the two contestants calmly answering the questions in the examination room. He simply couldn't understand how these two students had managed to solve these problems.

Even though he's a teacher, his mind is completely blank right now.

"These two are like monsters!"

Meanwhile, the other proctor, Chabashira Sae, suddenly sharpened her gaze, staring intently at the frighteningly efficient Ayanokouji Kiyotaka on the screen—was this the same gloomy man who had stolen her savings of several years and transferred from Class D?

As for Katsuragi Kohei... According to the rules, the Commander has the right to suggest that the participants in his class change their answers to the questions, but since the eighth question, the bald guy has given up participating in this project. It is obvious that the two people in the examination room are far more capable than him.

Shun Aragaki, meanwhile, casually propped his chin up, looking utterly bored—since Ichinose hadn't made any mistakes so far, he naturally didn't need to do anything unnecessary.

Soon, the final tenth question, a rapid mental arithmetic exercise, began.

The title "[Three-digit number, fifteen digits, 1.6 seconds]" appeared, and the numbers flashed and disappeared repeatedly fifteen times.

The surroundings fell silent instantly.

Shun Aragaki looked at the computer screen and saw the archangel frown slightly for a moment before writing down "7,619".

The answer is correct.

As expected, this event will go into overtime.

However, if the difficulty is increased further, Ichinose alone should still be unable to defeat Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.

It seems he has no choice but to take action!

350. Moral blackmail of Ichinose; Shun Aragaki versus Ayanokoji

After completing all ten questions in the "Quick Mental Arithmetic" exercise, the teachers quickly compared Ichinose and Ayanokouji's answers and confirmed that both of them had achieved full marks.

The school immediately announced a five-minute break and began preparing for an overtime match that would be more challenging.

"I never expected that Ayanokouji-san would be so unassuming."

The previous match required a high level of concentration, but now, during halftime, Honami Ichinose finally had time to take a look at the other side's opponent, and her tone of surprise was somewhat unexpected.

In the minds of most teachers and students in the first year, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji was just an ordinary student in Class D. The most eye-catching incident he participated in at Advanced Education was during the summer vacation of the first year, when he was almost involved in the crime of secretly filming in the swimming pool because he was on good terms with the circle of Haruki Yamauchi and Kanji Ike.

In short, due to his poor choice of friends and his gloomy temperament, the other person's reputation on campus, especially among the girls, was practically nonexistent.

Later, for some unknown reason, he caught the eye of Katsuragi Kohei and Koenji Rokusuke, and transferred to Class B along with Ryuen Sho, causing another sensation.

However, to ordinary students who were unaware of the situation, just like Ryuen Sho was ostracized by the entire Class C, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka accepted Class B's invitation to transfer classes because he couldn't stay in Class D anymore.

Some people had guessed that the opponent's strength should be decent, otherwise, given Koenji Rokusuke's pride, he certainly wouldn't have brought pure trash into his base.

However, this speculation has not been widely accepted, or rather, most people do not think that this suspect who took the photos should be taken seriously.
