People are teaching, my love stock market just wants to be full

In this result, students in the same class as the preferentially treated students cannot answer the questions, and their correct answers will be considered invalid.

Result 50: If someone other than the favored student answers incorrectly in advance, the class to which the incorrect answer belongs will have 50 points deducted from the class evaluation score. In addition to receiving 50 personal points, the favored student's class will also receive points from the class evaluation score.

Likewise, incorrect answers given by students in the same class as the favored students will be considered invalid.

These four results take all possibilities into consideration. After all, there are only two possible outcomes when answering the name of the favored person: either the answer is correct or the answer is wrong.

Then we distinguish between answering in advance and answering according to the rules at the last moment, which results in exactly four outcomes.

After understanding the rules, everyone in Class A knew very well that the last two results were the highlights of this exam.

After all, personal points are far less important than class points. Just like guessing the leader's name on an uninhabited island, you get 50 points for guessing correctly and lose 50 points for guessing incorrectly. This can create a 100-point gap in class scores.

"It seems that you all have figured it out. Do you still need me to explain the specific operation plan in detail?" Chabashira Sae crossed his arms. Since the students in front of him had maintained the first place for most of the semester, he thought they should all be excellent talents.

"That's about right." Hashima Hikaru nodded, but still confirmed with caution, "But just to be on the safe side, please ask Chabashira-sensei to briefly explain the answering process for us, so that we can feel more at ease."

"Yes, if you only read the text, there might be misunderstandings." Ando Sayo smiled and spoke after Hashima Hikaru, and the other two also helped out with a few words.

"...Oh well."

After Chabashiri Sae looked deeply at Hashima Hikaru, he continued to explain the specific process.

"The rule of this exam is to find the favored, if..."

The tall female teacher pointed at Hashima Hikaru and said, "For example, if your group's favored candidate is Hashima-san, then everyone needs to discuss and come up with a plan for how to answer. If you want to achieve outcome one, Hashima-san will reveal her favored candidate information and let everyone else answer at the last minute. At that time, you will all receive 50 personal points, and Hashima-san will receive 10."

Yes, this is the result that seems to have the greatest benefit.

But this is the sinister intention of this exam. Mixing students from four classes together is to let students who cannot trust each other decide on the plan.

If Hashima Hikaru is the favored one, then if he really announces the information of the favored ones, once someone from other classes wants to betray everyone and chooses to answer in advance, then the information of the favored one of Class A will be guessed immediately.

Not only will 50 points of class evaluation be deducted, but they will also be added to the betrayer's class. This is a huge loss that is absolutely unbearable.

"Do other results need explanation? For example, answering in advance?" Chabashi Sae glanced at Hashima Hikaru, who had a serious expression.

"What do you all think?"

Hikaru Hashima placed the information that had been sent back on the table and asked the other three students in Class A, "Do you understand the rules?"

"Well, we all understand."

"It seems like this exam is definitely going to be a tough battle. After all, we have to work with students from other classes, and releasing any information is risky."

"That's right, and the rules are just like..." Ando Sayo, a partygoer, said with a hint of amusement in her tone, "It's just like a detective game."

"Indeed."

Hashima Hikaru nodded, agreeing with her analogy.

There will only be one favored candidate in each group. It is like a "suspect" who needs to hide himself in the group. If his name is guessed by others and he answers in advance, the test of this group will be ended directly, which means that the "suspect" has failed to escape.

After all, classmates cannot answer in advance. Apart from them, all the remaining team members may become [Detectives], and there will be two results when the [Detective] identifies the name of the [Suspect].

If you succeed, the class's evaluation score will increase, and you will also gain personal points.

Failure has the exact opposite result, resulting in huge losses.

In this case, every speculation and information transmission will become quite complicated.

Is this what Thinking means?

What an incredible exam rule.

Chapter 180 The preferential examination officially begins!

In the quiet room 201, after the rules were read out, Chabashira Sae looked at the students in Class A. It must be said that they were very quick to learn and had already started discussing countermeasures around Hashima Hikaru.

"This means that one of these people will receive a text message at 8:00 tomorrow morning informing them that they are a preferential treatment recipient," Hashima Hikaru touched his chin and placed the information on the table. "To ensure the security of this information, this person will probably be very cautious."

"That's right. According to the distribution method of the twelve groups, for the sake of fairness, there should be three preferential treatment students in each class."

Kanzaki Ryuji carefully looked at the members of the Dragon Group. He naturally noticed the cleverness of this list and was afraid that it was intentional by the school.

"When the favored members of our class come out, should we notify Hashima-san?" As someone who often organizes class activities, Ando Sayo quickly realized that there must be someone to act as a decision maker and control the direction of the entire exam.

"Yes, I think we can gather the information here with Hashima-san, and then you can decide how to respond." Tsube Hitomi meant the same thing.

After this semester, most of the students in Class A have come to agree that Mitsuru Hashima is the mainstay of the class, and that only the plans he develops are the best.

"There's no need to rush about this. After all, there's still some time until eight o'clock tomorrow."

Hashima Mitsuru glanced at his watch. There were still more than ten minutes before the gathering was to be disbanded, so he planned to have a basic discussion with these classmates to pool their ideas.

"Since the rules of this exam revolve around preferential treatment, the list of preferential treatment is naturally of paramount importance." The young man turned the documents on the desk to the page of precautions.

"In order to ensure the fairness of this exam, the school has listed quite detailed prohibitions. These are things that absolutely cannot be done."

The [Notes] section on the materials contained many different messages, such as not being allowed to steal other people's phones, not being allowed to obtain the list of favored people through threats or intimidation, and not being allowed to use other people's phones to mail answers.

Once the exam begins, everyone's mobile phone will be bound to their individual phone number, so others cannot come up with any tricks. Moreover, each group member can only answer the answers of their own group, so there can only be one answering name.

Unlike the uninhabited island exam, previous violations basically resulted in point deductions, but this time, if anyone dared to violate the rules, the word "expelled" would be written in big red font at the end of the information.

This punishment is much more severe than anything encountered since the start of the school year. Not only that, there are many cameras installed on the cruise ship to monitor the students' examination process. If any suspicious behavior is performed, the school will be able to detect it immediately.

"It seems that the only way to get the answer is by collecting information." After reading the precautions, Ando Sayo's expression was a little solemn. After all, dropping out of school is a result that no member of Class A can accept. Everyone has worked hard until now just to ensure that no one is left behind when they graduate.

"I think that might be the case... Let's hear my analysis, everyone." Kanzaki Ryuji was equally sharp-witted. He glanced at the people present and said gravely, "If this exam is meant to test your thinking abilities, then I believe it must have a prerequisite."

"What conditions."

"That's the list." Kanzaki picked up the card with the student list and read it word by word. "I think since the school deliberately used the Heavenly Stems as code to group the students, there must be a pattern in the selection of preferential treatment."

When these words were spoken, everyone looked a little surprised.

"I thought so too, Kanzaki-san," Hashima Hikaru took the card and, after a brief glance, said to the three of them, "Since the school specifically chose the Heavenly Stems naming method, this is actually part of the clue. As for the rest of the information, I'm afraid we need to confirm the name of the person being favored before we can study the pattern."

"But what if the school comes up with a new backup option in this regard?" Although Ando Sayo was somewhat happy after hearing this discovery, she immediately thought of another thing.

"For example, the school designed a pattern for selecting favored students in a certain class, but when it comes to the next class, a new set of rules is used. What should we do in this case?"

"Hmm... This perspective is also very important."

Hashima Hikaru nodded approvingly. If the purpose was to test everyone's thinking ability, the school would definitely not set up such simple examination rules. Otherwise, once a student like him integrated the class and compared the three lists of favored students, he might be able to find out the rules quickly.

In this way, wouldn't the difficulty be reduced?

"So, if we want to determine the rules for the twelve groups, we need to obtain the preferential treatment information from at least two classes." Kanzaki Ryuji stroked his hair and pondered. "We can confirm the preferential treatment information for our class tomorrow, but it might not be so easy to obtain the preferential treatment information for other classes."

"We can have everyone gather intelligence within their own groups first. Just keep it confidential," Tsunabe Hitomi said with a smile, squinting her eyes. "All members of the Dragon Group will gather for the discussion tomorrow afternoon at one o'clock."

"Yes."

Hashima Mitsuru glanced back at the exam implementation rules. In the next four days, group members will need to go to the designated room for discussion on three days, at 1:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. respectively, which means there will be a total of six discussion opportunities.

"Do we have to get intelligence in six discussions? It feels like there are too few opportunities." Ando Sayo looked a little reluctant.

"No, not necessarily six times."

The young man said solemnly, "Don't forget that there will be traitors. If a traitor sends the answers in advance, regardless of whether they are correct or not, the exam for this group will end early, and the opportunity for discussion will naturally disappear immediately."

"That's... indeed."

Everyone understood the importance of this matter. The betrayer was like an invisible bomb, and no one knew when it would explode.

"In short, we can temporarily come up with a basic action plan. After Ichinose-san and I meet tomorrow to discuss it, we can discuss more detailed arrangements."

After collecting everyone's concerns and thoughts, Hashima Hikaru began to summarize.

"First of all, no matter who in our class is chosen as the preferential treatment, keep it a secret. Once Ichinose-san and I have come up with a plan, please contact us."

The boy took out his phone and showed the trio the Class A group chat page. He said solemnly, "I'll edit a class announcement for everyone to see."

"During this special exam, our class's unity will definitely come in handy. Do you understand?"

"Yeah, we understand."

"That's right, let's follow Hashima-san's arrangements for now."

“Everyone will support your idea.”

Several students in Class A knew in their hearts that the key to success in this exam was that only by letting the core members of the class make decisions and uniting everyone could they gain more benefits.

After all, this is not just the class evaluation score, there are also real personal points. Even if you can't achieve result one, result two, or result three, it is still a considerable amount of points.

"It seems your discussion is over."

Chabashi Sae had just been standing by with his arms folded, listening to the conversation between these people.

The person who was in control of the situation and guiding everyone's thinking was obviously Mr. Hashima. His perspective and sharp reaction ability surprised the young female teacher.

The exam had clearly not started yet, but he had already begun to formulate a rough action plan. And judging from the performance of others, this was definitely not the first time such a thing had happened, as everyone was quite obedient to his arrangements.

What kind of class control is this? I'm afraid that the other class leaders in the first grade can't achieve this.

In fact, before this exam, the class teachers had the power to arrange the students in their class into which groups, and the Dragon Group was equivalent to a major battlefield, because several class teachers put their favorite students into it.

For example, the three people in Class C are Hirata Yosuke, Kushida Kikyo, and Horikita Suzune. Chabashi Sae often observes them and knows their abilities.

But when the list was being selected, Chabashi Sae saw Hoshinomiya Chie smilingly filling in Hashima Hikaru's name in the Dragon Group, and even took the initiative to greet her.

"Hehehe, Saeda-chan, I'm sending out my most talented kids this time, so I'll ask you classes to take on them."

The most proud child.

Hoshinomiya had mentioned this word to her many times, referring to that classmate, Hashima. Judging from his performance today, he was indeed not a simple person.

His thinking ability and control over the class have reached an astonishing level. I had only heard about it before, but it was not as shocking as what I actually saw today.

[As expected, if I want to advance to Class A, this Hashima-san is an opponent I must defeat.]

Chabashi Sae thought of the people he had chosen.

Can they defeat him?

"Well, the gathering time is over. Please disperse. Remember all the rules, or you will be expelled."

The black-haired beauty said the last words of today's party with a cold face, then opened the door and let everyone leave one by one.

"I see. Thank you for the explanation, Chabashira-sensei."

Hashima Hikaru smiled and nodded at her, then walked out.

When I walked to the front of the restaurant on the second floor, I saw a tall and plump figure standing there.

It was none other than Ichinose Honami.

Chapter 181 Breakfast Conversation with Ichinose

"Ichinose-san, are you waiting for me?"

Hashima Hikaru greeted her with a smile, but since there were many classmates around, he didn't call the girl's name.

"Of course, Hikaru...Hashima-san," the pink-haired girl caught a glimpse of the others out of the corner of her eye, but she still took the initiative to reach out and hold Hikaru's arm, saying softly, "Let's go to a quiet place to talk."

"Ah."

The two walked side by side to a secluded place on the cruise ship, probably in a corner on the second floor, where they could block other people's sight.

"After learning about the rules of this exam, what do you think now?"

At this moment, Ichinose Honami and Hashima Hikaru were leaning against each other face to face in a very close posture. There was obviously a lot of space here, but after she walked over, the girl suddenly pressed against his chest without any warning.

"Hmm...how about I hear what Fanbo thinks first?"

"I think maybe we can guess the pattern behind the selection of the recipients this time." The girl leaned her head against Hikaru Hashima's chest and said slowly, "This is the best answer."

"That's right, that's what I just discussed with Kanzaki and the others. It seems that Honoki and I have the same idea."

"Really?" Ichinose raised his head, his eyes sparkling with joy.

"Yes, but we may need to collect a lot of information. After all, we can't guarantee whether the school's rules are formulated based on all groups or classes."

Then, Hashima Hikaru quietly told Ichinose Honami the details of the discussion he had just had with the other three people. As soon as he finished speaking, a gentle smile appeared on the girl's lips.

"As expected of Guang, you are so thoughtful."

"This is the result of everyone's collective wisdom, so we must unite for this exam."

"Uh-huh."

At this moment, the girl suddenly reached out to touch Hashima Hikaru's trouser pocket, causing his body to tremble instantly.
