"Yes."

The boy's tone darkened, and he said seriously, "This must be the school's idea. They want us to establish a cooperative relationship with people from other classes, and they can't refuse."

"It's really troublesome."

Some people sighed, but could do nothing about it.

Chapter 475: Discussion on the bus, grouping is a big deal.

When Hashima Hikaru explained the conditions for forced cooperation, the expressions of everyone in Class A, Grade 1, changed.

Although everyone has some connections with students from other classes in their daily school life, there are still some psychological barriers when it comes to working together in special exams.

"Do you think there could be another situation?"

At this time, Shibata seemed to have thought of something. "Since the minimum number of people is ten, and the minimum number of classes is two, wouldn't it be possible to join a student from another class?"

"Yeah, that would make the pressure much less, right?"

"No."

Faced with this idea, Hashima Hikaru still shook his head with a serious expression.

"Put yourself in their shoes. Would anyone be willing to join a group where everyone else, except you, is from another class? Having many classes is fine, but if everyone else is from the same class, wouldn't that put even more pressure on that person?"

After hearing what he said, everyone immediately understood that this was unlikely. No one would be willing to join a group of people from other classes. This would make people feel very insecure.

"Rather than that, could you please continue explaining the rules? After all, since there are upper and lower limits on group size, the rules might be related to this."

Hashima Hikaru looked up at the smiling Hoshinomiya Chie and asked about the details of the rules.

"Well, let me continue explaining it to you."

The young female teacher smiled and continued, "Each group will only be formed for this special exam. It's like a temporary class, and everyone will study the course content together."

"Besides that, from cooking to washing clothes, bathing to bedtime, you will spend time together, just like belonging to one big family, experiencing the daily life of a collective."

"what?"

"We even have to bathe and sleep together?"

Inevitably, when these conditions were stated by Hoshinomiya Chie, even though the students in Class A of the first grade were all easy to get along with, they still let out wails one after another, and some girls' expressions immediately became ugly.

"If I were to live with everyone in my class, that would be fine, but living with people from other classes is really hard for me to accept."

"Yeah, that's a bit too harsh."

Even after the red and white grouping sports festival, everyone was reluctant to get too involved with students from other classes in such competition after getting used to the special exams and class evaluation score rankings.

"How the school will determine the final results of the special exam will be determined by the comprehensive exam held on the last day of Forest School. A rough outline of the exam content is on page 7 of the materials. You can take a look at it first."

Xing Zhigong simply ignored everyone's complaints and continued to explain the content of the rules.

Everyone turned the manual to the corresponding position and saw the detailed content.

The names of the items in this exam are very abstract, including [Morality], [Spiritual Training], [Regularity], and [Autonomy], etc.

Unlike ordinary projects that can be associated with at a glance, these contents are basically things that you will never come across in school.

What is even more troublesome is that the school's academic and physical tests have specific scores and answers as judging criteria, but this kind of test does not mention how the test will be conducted, and there is not even a standard for judging.

Mitsuru Hashima looked at the listed schedule with a serious expression.

When I wake up in the morning, I complete my morning homework, then meditate in the dojo. After cleaning, I eat breakfast.

[We learn various subjects in the classroom, and after lunch, we have afternoon lessons and then continue to meditate.]

After the second round of meditation, I had dinner, showered, and went to bed.

It is worth noting that this eight-day and seven-night activity naturally includes Saturday and Sunday. Saturday is a half-day class in the morning, while Sunday is a real day of rest.

"The schedule above is just a rough introduction. A more detailed schedule will be announced once we arrive at the location. I can't tell you the order in which the exams will be held on the last day, so please be aware of this."

Hoshinomiya Chie looked at the classmates on the bus. This was a very special exam. It not only tested everyone's ability to interact with people from other classes, but more importantly, it tested their adaptability. It was like meditation. The posture and timing all depended on how the students handled it.

"There's one more thing I need to emphasize. Everyone must think carefully when deciding on team members. All six teams must work together to survive the week-long training camp. Team members cannot be replaced midway, no matter what the reason. If someone becomes ill and can't continue, the remaining members will have to fill in, and the exam must be conducted as if that person is still there."

This sentence has a lot of meaning. If a partner is sick or hostility arises between team members, the team will become more and more divided during the exam until the group faces complete failure.

After taking a look at the specific schedule, Hikaru Hashima memorized the detailed arrangements in his mind.

The formal classes at the Forest School will start tomorrow, Friday, and will last until Wednesday of next week. Then, on Thursday, there will be a comprehensive exam for all grades, and finally a unified score will be calculated.

"It seems everyone has digested this information. I'll continue then."

Hoshinomiya Chie glanced at Hashima Hikaru, who had a pensive expression, and continued.

"Once the six first-grade groups are created, they will be combined with the second-grade and third-grade groups that were established at the same time. In short, the first to third-grade students will be combined together, and the six small groups will become six large groups."

"Can everyone understand what this means?"

"clear."

Everyone thought quickly and immediately understood the school's design. There were three grades in total, and the students were divided up and then re-established into new groups. Is this what they called communicating with seniors?

"The test results will be evaluated based on the average scores of all members of the six groups, so the performance of members of other grades within the group will also have a significant impact."

"That's the key to choosing your groupings carefully."

Hikaru Hashima kept all these rules in mind. This was different from ordinary exams and competitions based on academic ability. Comprehensive quality was the most critical selection criterion. As long as his group and the large group were filled with excellent members, that was the way to win.

Chapter 476: The key to scoring is to make reasonable use of the rules.

When Hoshinomiya Chie was explaining the rules to everyone, both men and women on the bus listened attentively.

The core figures in the first-year class A, such as Ichinose Honami, Ando Sayo, and Kanzaki Ryuji, were all in deep thought. After all, every round of special exams was a battlefield for the students, and it was a place where they absolutely could not relax.

Everyone was thinking about the issue of grouping. After all, this special exam was different from the previous ones where decisions were made within the class. Instead, many uncertain factors were incorporated. Since it was forced to accommodate members from other classes, there would naturally be a lot of uncertainty.

Only by overcoming these can we better grasp the situation within the group.

What's more, this is not just a competition based on comprehensive academic performance. In the eyes of the second and third grade seniors, the weaker students in the first grade will obviously be excluded. After all, the second and third graders also want to win, which is inevitable.

"I've already given you the outline of the exam. Now we're heading to the most crucial part."

After explaining everything related to the exam, Hoshinomiya Chie planned to start explaining the most important content. Everyone knew very well that what she was going to talk about next was how to obtain class evaluation scores, which was the most critical part of every special exam.

"For the groups with the highest average scores, the school will pay for all students' individual points and the corresponding class evaluation scores. As for the fourth to sixth places, they will face the cost of deducting individual points and class evaluation scores."

"The specific details of the increase and decrease are in the manual, you can take a look first."

The manual contains very detailed text descriptions of the specific rewards for the special exam, which, like a chart, clearly shows the impact of winning or losing.

First is the winning group, the basic rewards are as follows.

[First place: 10000 personal points and 3 class evaluation points]

Second place: 5000 personal points and 1 class evaluation point.

[Third place: 3000 personal points, no class evaluation points]

All the above rewards will be distributed equally to all members of the winning group. Regardless of the number of people, the amount of rewards will be the same.

The description of this rule is very detailed, and it is easy to imagine the final specific benefits. After all, everyone only cares about their own class. If the minimum number of people in a group is ten, the final benefits will be determined based on how many students from different classes are included.

For example, if nine people in a group are from the same class, and one person is from another class, in this most "ideal" situation, the class will receive 27 points in class evaluation, but this limit on the number of people is too high, after all, there are also instructions for punishment.

Then there is the failure group, and the basic penalties are as follows.

[Fourth place: 5000 personal points will be deducted]

[Fifth place: Deduct 10000 personal points and 3 class evaluation points]

[Sixth place: Deduct 20000 personal points and 5 class evaluation points]

Compared to the rewards, the punishments are doubled because the number of people in the group may not be exactly the same, so the rewards and punishments received will be very different.

In addition, there is an additional restriction in the conditions of this exam, that is, personal points and class evaluation scores will not fall below 0 points. Once the amount lost reaches the limit, it will become a [deficit] state. It seems that this will be reflected in the rewards obtained in the exam in the future, which is inevitably worrying.

In addition to these contents about rewards and punishments, Hashima Hikaru soon discovered that there were many extremely important additional rules, which Hoshinomiya Chie directly pointed out.

"There is a mechanism for obtaining a reward multiplier during the exam. The specific evaluation criteria are based on the number of people in the group and the number of classes. However, this mechanism only exists for the first to third place groups. Groups that are punished will not have these conditions."

The explanation of the doubling mechanism is crucial for the students taking the exam, and everyone stared at this line of text intently.

If the group consists of students from only two classes, the points awarded are the minimum. If the group consists of students from three classes, the points awarded will be doubled. If the group consists of students from four classes, the points awarded will be tripled.

The multiplier for the total number of people will also change. Ten people will be one multiplier, fifteen people will be 1.5 times, and if there are only nine people, then the final multiplier will be 0.9 times.

This situation is an exception. After all, if there are reductions in the group due to illness when the final scores are calculated, this condition will be used in the end.

With these conditions added, the first-place team can obtain the highest reward in the most perfect case, that is, the team is composed of four classes and the number of members is the maximum number of 15 people, then the reward that each person can obtain will become 4.5 times.

The personal point reward will become 45000, and the class evaluation score obtained will be 14 points.

This is a reward for one person. The more class members there are in the group, the better the number reflected in the final class evaluation score will be.

But just when everyone was having some fantasies, Hoshinomiya Chie said an even more horrifying message.

"As for the final additional rule - the last-place group will receive the strictest penalty."

"hiss!"

"What kind of punishment is that? Could it be that..."

After hearing about the strict punishment, every student's expression changed. After all, those two words had already appeared in the previous special exam. They were conditions that the students in Class A of Grade One were unwilling to accept.

"The punishment is expulsion from school."

"Is that really the case? But it shouldn't be everyone, right? Otherwise, if there are 30 or 40 people in the last group, wouldn't it be too much of a stretch for them all to drop out?"

"It's natural."

Hoshinomiya Chie smiled slightly. "When the final ranking is made, the average score of each group will be used as a reference. If the score is ten points below the average, the group leader will be expelled."

"What will the [person in charge] decide?"

Hashima Hikaru heard the key point and immediately raised his hand.

"The person in charge will be decided after the group is established. Please pay attention."

"Ok."

After lowering his arms, the boy's eyes became deep. This kind of examination rule is really in line with the school's usual characteristics. The person in charge has to bear the risk of being expelled, but there are also benefits.

The last rule states that students who are in the same class as the person in charge will receive double the compensation.

But the risk of dropping out of school... not many people are willing to take it.

Chapter 477: Meeting requests from the girls.

After clarifying the basic rules regarding rewards and punishments, everyone knew that the choice of the "person in charge" was crucial. Hashima Hikaru glanced at the people in Class A on the bus and felt that many eyes were on him.

"By the way, there's a corresponding restriction regarding dropouts. If there are dropouts during this special exam, the class will have 100 points deducted from their evaluation score for each dropout. If the class score is insufficient, it will be recalculated when adding points later."

Although the [person in charge] will get twice the score in the end, he must bear the risk of being expelled. Just as the reward will be doubled, the punishment he faces in the event of failure will be equally terrifying.

"Okay, that's all for the basic exam instructions. There are also some detailed information in the manual."

Hoshinomiya Chie said slowly, "Everyone must cherish your time and write down these things now."

"Besides this, I have another question I want to ask."

Ichinose Honami seemed to have thought of something, and her expression was serious as she raised her hand.

"Oh, what's the problem, Ichinose-san?"

The corners of Hoshinomiya Chie's mouth curled up slightly.

"If someone drops out of this special exam, can we use 20 million personal points to save them?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone in Class A of the first grade were immediately shocked. Everyone had been accumulating points since the beginning of the school year. So far, Ichinose Honami, the class representative, had almost saved up 40 million points, which was the share for two people.

"Yes, it is possible, but because it is a special exam, there will be new additional conditions in terms of punishment."

Hoshinomiya Chie responded calmly, "If you really want to save the students in the class who are facing expulsion, in addition to paying 300 million personal points, you also need to pay an additional class evaluation points."
