Kiyotaka Of Class B ( Year 1 )

Arc 4 Chap 2 : Prelude

Just when the students started recovering from the previous exam, The school hit them with another. They naturally felt displeased since they were promised a vacation. However, We were still able to do as we please except for the meeting times, So there wasn't alot of grumbling

Bzzt...

I, Honami and Kanzaki were sitting at a restaurant when our phones vibrated on top of the table just when the clock hit 8 AM. I Checked my phone and found the message :

After Thorough consideration, You have not been chosen to be the VIP. Please remember to be a team player as your group tackles the challenges of this test. The exam begins today and would be held during a period of three days. Members of the Dragon group should gather in the Dragon room located on the second deck

" So ? " Honami spoke after she was done reading " I'm not the VIP "

" Same " " Me too "

" No luck huh ? Well it might be a blessing is disguise "

However, One thing bothered me. If the assignments are random then this message says otherwise, The first part indicates that the VIPs have been carefully picked up after considering the factors. Which factors is what i don't know

" Isn't it weird ? If the assignments are random then why did they add the first part ? " Questioned Honami

" I agree, It indicates The existence of a common trait between the VIPs. Or this could be just a bait from the school to mislead us "

It all depends on what consideration they took. The school would never lie to mislead the students, atleast on times like these to ensure the fairness.

This makes me believe that there is some sort of a pattern to the VIPs assignments. The school took in consideration our classes and most likely distributed 3 VIPs on each Class. If that's the case, Then the number of patterns drastically decreased.

Honami was fidgeting her phone, After a while she spoke

" It seems that Yume-chan, Chihiro-chan and Kozue-chan are the VIPs in our Class "

Kobashi Yume VIP of the Cow Group
Shiranami Chihiro VIP of the Tiger group
Minamikata Kozue VIP of the Monkey group

" Did they only pick girls as the VIPs ? " Marked Kanzaki

It is strange that only girls in our Class got Chosen as VIPs. Again our Class is 60% Girls

That doesn't mean anything. We have close to none information about the choosing method, So it could be a coincidence.

" It's probable Kanzaki-kun, But it is most likely a coincidence. It could also be that they chose the leader's friends "

If the school's intention by this is to make a new way for tackling this exam by creating a pattern, Then that pattern has to be very specific, With no room for error.

If that's the case then we can instantly cross off any random or common elements like personality traits, Gender etc...

That creates another question, Which factor that is common by no more than one student on each group ? Only few comes to mind but the most logical one is.....

I already have my answers. Let's see what Honami and Kanzaki would do

" You're Late " As i entered the room. Ryueen yelled without taking his eyes out of a book. I instantly recognized it

" What do you mean by late ? It's 12:59. The discussion hasn't even started " In fact, I came right in time.

" Now, Let the first discussion of the Dragon group begin ! " An announcement came from the speakers inside the room
