"Hikari, everyone wants to hold a singing competition tonight. There are many private rooms in the KTV on the basement floor. Should we go and join in?" Ichinose Honami turned her head to look at the young man who was sitting upright next to her.
"How many people want to participate?" Hashima Mitsuru glanced at the time displayed on his mobile phone. It was probably around five o'clock. If he wanted to go singing, he might have to wait until after dinner.
"There are quite a lot of them. Everyone is looking forward to Guang's singing. How about we go together?" The pink-haired girl rolled over on Guang's bed, changing from her original prone position to lying on her back facing the ceiling.
"Sure, there's nothing important to do these days anyway."
Hashima Hikaru smiled. If this summer cruise trip was really for the students to relax, they would naturally enjoy it.
"Yeah, then I'll just reply to everyone like this, and tell them we'll all go."
Ichinose Honami tapped away at her phone keyboard, typing her reply message in the group chat.
But at this moment, both the mobile phone in the girl's hand and the mobile phone placed next to the table by Hashima Hikaru made extremely sharp and high-pitched sounds, which instantly changed the expressions of the two.
This sound is the school's notification tone. Even if a person's phone is set to vibrate mode, it will still be forced to make a clear sound.
This means one thing, the school is conveying an extremely important notice.
Ichinose Honami instantly sat up from the bed and exchanged glances with the boy on the chair.
"What... happened?" Hashima Hikaru's expression was a little serious.
When the ringing of the mobile phone stopped, the loudspeakers placed in various places on the ship began to broadcast uniformly. Although there was no sound in the room, the sound in the corridor was still very obvious.
Hello everyone, we are announcing that the school has just sent an email with contact information to all students. Please carefully check your email address and follow the instructions. If you haven't received the text message, please contact your nearest faculty member immediately to make a request.
Please note that the content of this email is extremely important, so please do not miss this. I repeat, do not miss the information in this email and follow the instructions carefully...
This broadcast was not played only once, but was looped three times. After listening to the first broadcast, Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami in the room walked out of the room side by side.
"It seems... this is really a new test."
The boy looked at the email on his phone, his eyes flashing with thought.
Chapter 178: Special Exam Collection
After the first round of broadcast, Mitsuru Hashima quickly checked his email. The text message on it was very detailed, allowing people to quickly understand what happened.
[Notice: The special exam is about to begin. Please gather in your designated room at the designated time. Those who are late for more than ten minutes will be punished.]
Please gather in Room 201 on the second floor at 20: tonight. The meeting will take minutes. Please return to the room immediately after using the restroom or completing other tasks.
【Note: Before entering the designated room, please set your phone to vibrate mode or turn it off directly. 】
"Is it another special exam? Two exams in a row, it seems the school has planned it all in advance." After turning his phone to silent mode, Hikaru Hashima looked at Ichinose Honami beside him.
"What's Ichinose-san's text message like?"
"Let's exchange them." The girl exchanged her phone with Hikaru Hashima's. After they confirmed it, they found that their meeting times were different.
Hashima Hikaru's gathering time is 8:40 in the evening, while Ichinose Honami's is 6:00. If we calculate based on the 20-minute time consumption, there is a difference of eight rounds.
"What's going on? Why is there such a big difference between my time and Guang's? Since it's a special exam, shouldn't it be announced uniformly?" There was an expression of disbelief on Ichinose Honami's pretty face.
"Maybe there are other reasons. Anyway, the time is almost up, Fanbo, hurry up and gather. It's always better to be early."
Hashima Hikaru looked at the time on his phone and saw that it was still more than ten minutes before six o'clock.
"oh, I understand now."
After experiencing the first survival on a deserted island, Ichinose Honami has a deeper understanding of the special exam. No matter what, this is the key to helping the class gain an advantage, so it is best not to make any mistakes.
"Guang, I'll be leaving now. We'll meet again in the evening."
After the pink-haired girl disappeared, Hashima Hikaru walked back into his room, his mind racing with thoughts.
In theory, the special exam is a collective exam covering all first-grade students. During the last survival on the uninhabited island, the basic rules were announced uniformly by the teachers, and then the class teachers of each class explained the rules in detail.
However, the special exams being held now seemed to divide students into different groups. Not only did they gather at different times, but they also seemed to have dispersed the students in the class.
Since it is a special exam, in order to ensure fairness, will those who gather first be on the same starting line as those who gather later?
Maybe the exam starts tomorrow?
Hashima Hikaru read the text message several times. Because the information was too little, he could only get some simple conclusions. If he wanted to formulate a plan to deal with the exam, he had to wait until his assembly meeting was over and then deal with it according to the exam rules.
The silent boy had no intention of reading anymore. He sat quietly at his desk, closed his eyes and rested, waiting for his own time to come.
When the time displayed on the mobile phone reached eight o'clock, Hikaru Hashima quickly got up and walked out of the room.
His gathering place was Room 201 on the second floor. He had to pass through the area where everyone ate, drank and had fun. It seemed that there was a row of empty rooms deep in this floor.
Ten minutes before the exam was to start, Hikaru Hashima arrived at the designated room 201. He was certainly not the first to arrive there. There were many students from other classes in the corridor, and it seemed that their destinations were different from the boy's. They were standing at the door of different rooms.
Mitsuru Hashima did not intend to observe whether there were any acquaintances among the students. Instead, when there were three minutes left until 8:40, he reached out and knocked on the door.
dong dong dong.
After the door rang, a cold female voice came from inside. Hashima Hikaru recognized that it seemed to be the voice of Chabashi Sae, the head teacher of Class C.
"Come in."
After pushing the door open, the boy saw the black-haired woman in an OL uniform in front of him. She crossed her arms and nodded slightly to Hashima Hikaru.
In front of her was a round wooden table with four chairs around it. Three people had already sat there, and the only remaining seat was reserved for Hashima Hikaru.
These people are all classmates from Class A. After seeing Hikaru Hashima, everyone's face showed joy.
"Hashima-san!"
The first person to call out his name was Ando Sayo. Hashima Hikaru was already very familiar with her, so he nodded slightly at her.
"Hashima, it looks like we've been assigned to the same group."
The second one was Ryuji Kanzaki, who had a faint smile on his face and seemed very satisfied with the grouping result.
"If Hashima-san were here, perhaps we could have won this special exam again."
The last one is Tsunabe Hitomi, who was previously ordered by Hashima Hikaru to monitor the students in Class D. She is a girl with a very free and easy personality, and at this moment there is a hint of anticipation on her little face.
"Maybe. It seems that this group will consist of four of us." After Hashima Mitsuru pulled out a chair and sat down, the time was exactly 8:40.
"Well then, let me explain this special exam to you."
Chabashira Sae looked at the time and began to explain the rules of the exam to the four people.
"First, for this special exam, the school will divide all first-year students into groups according to the Heavenly Stems. We will hold a special exam within these groups. The project is called Thinking. Please pay attention."
Heavenly Stems?
Hashima Hikaru's expression changed slightly. If it was a natural test, all first-year students would be divided into twelve groups to take the exam, but there were only four students from Class A in the room, so these should not be all the candidates.
The inspection project is called Thinking.
The literal translation is thinking, thought or pondering, etc. If it is called this way, perhaps the way of taking the exam this time requires students to use their brains to break the predicament?
"Well, I'd like to ask, is 'Thinking' interpreted literally? Or does it have other deeper meanings?" Hashima Mitsuru raised his hand. Anyway, no one said that questions could not be asked.
"It doesn't have a profound meaning. You can understand it in the simplest terms," Chabashira Sae said, his expression cold, but he still explained. "In order to cultivate the best students, the school will assess you in many aspects. The last exam tested teamwork, and this time it's focused on thinking."
"Thinking basically requires you to analyze different situations, think about the problem, and finally come up with the answer through thinking. Do you understand?" Chabashi Sae's gaze fell on Hashima Hikaru. She knew that he was the leader of Class A, so as long as he nodded, no one else would say anything.
"We understand. Please continue to explain the rules, teacher." Hashima Mitsuru glanced at the other three people. They had no objection.
"You should have noticed that since all first-year students are divided into twelve groups, the people in the room right now are naturally not all members. At this time, the others in your group are also receiving an explanation of the exam rules."
Sure enough.
Hashima Hikaru nodded in his heart.
But then he thought again, if the groups were divided according to the same time period, then Ichinose Honami should be a member of other groups.
It seems that students from other classes may join the group.
It's really malicious. First, they let everyone go through a semester of competition, and now they become members of the same group.
The boy curled the corners of his mouth and continued to look at Chabashi Sae, listening to her explanation of the exam rules.
"Each group is made up of students from four classes. Each class will select three to five people to join. You will take the exam together and get the final results."
"Do you want to be in a group with students from other classes?"
Kanzaki Ryuji's expression was somewhat solemn, and the other two girls also looked unhappy.
Although everyone in Class A can trust their classmates unconditionally, if they are students from other classes, it would probably be quite difficult to build trust.
"Don't be nervous, everyone. The rules haven't been explained yet, so don't put pressure on yourself." Hikaru Hashima expressed his opinion to the three of them.
"Yeah, we understand."
The boy's long display of class prestige and ability instantly calmed everyone's emotions. He looked at Chabashira and motioned for her to continue.
After witnessing Hashima Hikaru taking control of the situation with just one sentence, Chabashira Sae felt a little surprised, but still spoke.
"The list of group members is written on this card. If you feel it is necessary, you can write it down now, but you are not allowed to take the card out." She handed a card to everyone with several rankings written on it.
"Ok."
After taking the card, Hikaru Hashima put it on the table and showed it to others.
There is a word "Chen" written on the top. If it is based on the Heavenly Stems, it should mean Dragon Group.
Below is a detailed list of group members, separated by class.
Class A: Hikaru Hashima, Sayo Ando, Ryuji Kanzaki, Hitomi Tsube
Class B: Katsuragi Kohei, Nishikawa Ryoko, Toba Shinji, Yano Koharu
Class C: Kushida Kikyo, Hirata Yosuke, Horikita Suzune
Class D: Oda Takumi, Suzuki Hidetoshi, Sonoda Masashi, Ryuen Sho
Oh, at a glance, there are really a lot of familiar faces.
After reading the names of the group, Hashima Hikaru couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. He had met many of these people before, and there were two stock characters among them. What a coincidence.
However, after scanning these names for the second time, the boy discovered new information.
Katsuragi from Class B, Hirata Yosuke and Kushida Kikyo from Class C, and myself from Class A.
There is also Ryuen Sho from Class D. Although the undercover agent from Class D lied that he was the new class leader when they were on the uninhabited island, Hikaru Hashima, who guessed the leader's name, knew very well that he should still be working towards this position, but the ability he demonstrated is enough to make people take him seriously.
The common denominator behind these names is that they are all related to class leaders, so the list is definitely carefully selected.
This is the boy’s first step in making a judgment.
Chapter 179 What Detective Game?
"Anyway, after reviewing the group list, I will now convey to you the specific format of the exam."
After glancing at the four students in Class A, Chabashira Sae spoke calmly.
"This special exam is designed to have only four possible outcomes. There will be no exceptions to the final results of the twelve groups. Therefore, to help you understand the rules in detail, this document contains clear instructions. Please share it with yourselves."
"You are also not allowed to take this material out, and you are not allowed to take photos of it. Please remember the rules."
The information was the first to come into the hands of Hikaru Hashima. The other three students in Class A agreed to let the boy take a look at it first. He did not refuse and immediately began to carefully examine the rules.
After reading all the rules, he passed the information to the next person.
Well, the rules of the second special exam are not very complicated. Compared with the last uninhabited island test, this time everyone has only one goal, which is to guess the name of the beneficiary.
The exam will start at 8:00 am tomorrow and last until 9:00 pm four days later. There will be a day of break in between, so the exam will last for a total of three days.
Team members will receive an email from the school at 8:00 am tomorrow to inform them whether they have been selected for preferential treatment.
After the exam begins, the group has free discussion time at 1 p.m. and 8 p.m. every day, and each time the group will have to discuss for an hour before disbanding.
After the exam, answers will be accepted from 9:30 to 10:00 pm on the last day. If anyone has guessed who the favored person in the group is, they can send their name during this period, and the results will be announced at 11:00 pm.
In order to ensure the normal progress of the exam, the favored candidates themselves cannot answer the questions, while each of the other group members has only one chance to answer the questions. This means that you must be extremely careful when sending out your name, after all, this will affect the final result.
The four results previously mentioned by Chabashira Sae are explained in detail in the materials.
Result 50: Except for the favored person, everyone else answers correctly. In the end, everyone will receive 100 private points, while the favored person will receive million.
Result 50: Except for the favored person, everyone else gives up answering or answers incorrectly. Then, in the end, only the favored person can get private points, while everyone else gets no points.
The above two results will only be produced after answering the questions after the exam, but the rules state that there is no time limit for answering the questions during the exam period, and you can even answer the questions immediately after the exam begins.
So answering in advance will lead to two other results.
Result 50: If someone other than the one who received the preferential treatment answers the question correctly in advance, their class will receive 50 points in class evaluation, and the individual will receive 50 personal points. The class in which the preferential treatment is discovered will lose points.
