Class C Ayanokoji

Chapter 7 Onboard Examination Part 1

Three days after the desert island test, we were notified of a new special test.

We were divided into twelve groups based on the signs of the Chinese zodiac, and the exam was to be held within each group.

My group was called "Rabbit".

Class A: Takemoto, Machida, Morishige
Class B: Ichinose, Hamaguchi, Beppu
Class C: Ayanokoji, Ibuki, Manabe, Yabu
Class D: Karuizawa, Sotomura, Yukimura

These are the members of the rabbit Group.

There is one "VIP candidate" in this group, and what to do with him/her is the key to the test.

There are four possible outcomes in this time.

OUTCOME #1: If the answer submitted by the group after 9:30 p.m. on the final day is correct, then everyone in the group will receive private points, including those of the VIP's classmates who belong to the group.

OUTCOME #2: If a group fails to submit an answer between 9:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. on the final day, or if someone from the group other than the VIP and their classmates submits an incorrect answer, then the VIP will be awarded 500,000 private points.

OUTCOME #3: This outcome is triggered when someone other than the VIP gives the correct answer to the school without waiting until 9:30 p.m. on the final day of the exam. That student's class will gain fifty class points, and the person who submitted the correct answer will earn 500,000 private points. Also, the VIP's class will lose fifty class points as a penalty. At that point, the group's testing period will come to an end. However, if one of the VIP's classmates is the person who submits the correct answer, this answer will not be counted and the test will continue.

OUTCOME #4: This outcome is triggered when someone other than the VIP gives an incorrect answer without waiting until 9:30 p.m. on the final day of the exam. That student's class will lose fifty class points. The VIP will earn 500,000 private points, and the VIP's class will earn fifty class points. The testing period will end for the group that submitted the incorrect answer. However, if one of the VIP's classmates is the person who submits the incorrect answer, this answer will not be counted and the test will continue.

I heard that we have to meet in a designated room at 1:00 PM and 8:00 PM and stay in that room for an hour.

I guess the school took this into consideration so that we could have a discussion.

There were also some other prohibitions clearly stated.

I guess that's about it.

After the explanation, we left the room.

Ibuki: "I am with Ayanokoji. It's a good thing that someone I knew is in the same group."

Ayanokoji: "Oh, by the way, thank you for your hard work on the desert island test."

Ibuki: "I'm really tired..."

Ayanokoji: "What was class D like?"

Ibuki: "Horikita and Hirata tried to organize the class well, but... I guess we often clashed with each other, especially the girls and the ones called the three idiots. Sudo and Horikita kept me on my toes."

Ayanokoji: "Oh, I see... I got some extra income the other day, so I'll buy you something."

Ibuki: "Really? What have you been up to?"

Ayanokoji: "I was increasing my points at the casino."

Ibuki: "What? I was working so hard in the heat. You will take me out next time!"
