The girl stood in front of the classmates and signaled that everyone could start thinking about the answer to this question.
Hoshinomiya Chie stood quietly by. As the class teacher, most of the work she was responsible for was related to supervision, and she could not take the initiative to provide help to her classmates.
Mitsuru Hashima stood by with his head down in deep thought. After setting up the camp, he had actually been thinking about one question: how to maximize the points he could get in this special exam.
Judging from the rules set by the school, there are actually three different ideas.
The first is to reduce the consumption of the basic 300 exam points as much as possible. In this regard, if the class is united enough and can work harder in terms of patience, a lot of points can actually be saved.
The second is to occupy a stronghold. According to the rules, a stronghold is refreshed every eight hours, and there is no restriction on repeated occupation. So a stronghold can get 21 extra points in seven days, but you have to calculate the time well and seize the position faster.
But there is a very serious problem here, which is inextricably linked to the third idea, that is, the mechanism for guessing the class leader at the end.
Hikaru Hashima believes that this mechanism might be the school's real plan to test everyone's abilities. After all, whether it is occupying a stronghold or saving basic points, the points that can be obtained will not significantly widen the gap.
But the way of guessing the leader is outrageous. If you guess the leader of a class correctly, you can get 50 points, and then the class that was guessed will lose 50 points. That is to say, guessing the leader of a class can result in a difference of 100 points. This is a very scary calculation method.
If you guess three classes correctly, how much of a gap can you make?
It’s exciting to think about it.
In contrast, the act of occupying a stronghold is directly linked to the selection of the leader, after all, there are very detailed restrictions in the rules.
In order to occupy a stronghold, you must use a key card, and the key card can only be used by the leader of the class. Therefore, in the process of repeatedly occupying strongholds, there is a risk of exposing the identity of the leader.
After all, the leader's name must be engraved on the key card. If it is seen by people from other classes, not only will all the extra points for occupying the stronghold be lost, but an additional 50 points will also be deducted. This is a very risky operation plan.
If he wanted to use the method of occupying the stronghold, he would have to find a way to prevent the class leader from being exposed, otherwise everything might fail. He had not yet seen the true appearance of the stronghold, so he needed to think more about how to make the decision.
Just as Hashima Hikaru lowered his head in thought, he heard a familiar voice coming from the side.
"Um, Hashima-san?"
It was Ichinose Honami. The girl had already stood in front of the boy, staring straight at Hashima Hikaru's face.
"What's wrong? Have you chosen a leader yet?"
"We've chosen. Everyone's opinions are pretty simple. After all, everyone saw Hashima-san's performance." Ichinose Honami smiled and winked. "You got the most votes, Hashima-san."
"Uh..."
Although he was not very surprised by the result, the boy already had a preliminary idea in his mind and wanted to see it with his own eyes before making a decision.
"Actually, I just thought of a question. Can you listen to me?"
As soon as these words came out, the students in Class A immediately turned their attention over.
"Have you come up with a plan, Hashima-san?"
"It's just a basic idea. If I want to actually implement it, I need everyone to cooperate with me."
Hashima Hikaru glanced at the pink-haired girl beside him and said to everyone in Class A, "Everyone has just understood the rules of this special exam set by the school, so you should know how to get more points."
"Our basic plan is to conserve the 300 exam points we're given by being patient. The real winner will come in capturing the stronghold and ultimately guessing the class leader."
"But these two methods are closely linked and influence each other," Hashima Hikaru paused and continued slowly, "Just like in a duel, when you draw your sword, you also expose your weaknesses."
"I think these two approaches can be carried out simultaneously. Whether it's occupying a stronghold or guessing the class leader, both are options we need to consider, and we might even prefer the latter."
"Hashima-san, do you mean we can go and find out about the leaders of other classes?"
"Yes, everyone, do you remember what I just said? I discovered several different locations while on the cruise ship. Now it has been confirmed that this place is not the base." Hashima Hikaru smiled and pointed to the ground. "But I still remember two or three more places. Those places may be the base."
"It's been a few hours since the exam started, and there are probably two things going on in these places."
"In the first scenario, the base has already been occupied. I think we can try to find out who the leader of the other class is. After all, once a class discovers the base, they won't leave easily if they understand the rules."
"What if it hasn't been occupied yet?" Ichinose Honami asked.
"That's a good way to verify the method I just thought of. I'll study the situation near the base and think about how to minimize the risk of exposure."
"Another idea is to wait and see. According to the rules, we can't use a base occupied by another class without permission. So if we arrive first, the later class will need to check the base's machines to determine whether we have completed the base's occupation."
"This way, the initiative is in our hands. What I want is to find out the leadership candidates from other classes. What do you think of this plan?"
Chapter 146: Class A takes the initiative
After Hashima Hikaru revealed his thoughts, Ichinose Honami and all the students in Class A fell into deep thought.
Everyone actually understands that if you want to get more class evaluation points in this exam, you must participate in the final class leader guessing session. After all, even if you can occupy several strongholds at the same time, the points you can get after seven days will not be many.
Guessing the leaders of other classes has extremely high rewards, but the risks are also high. If you guess wrong, you will lose points.
"Is this the core plan that Hashima-san has thought of?" Kanzaki Ryuji reviewed it in his mind and asked aloud.
"Yes, I've just thought about it. The best way to help our Class A gain an overwhelming advantage in this exam is to guess the leaders of other classes."
Hashima Hikaru nodded slightly, and his eyes swept over all the people gathered here. Standing in the front were naturally the students who had more say in the class, such as Kanzaki Ryuji, Shibata, Ando, and Ichinose Honami.
"Of course, if you have a better plan, or if you have any additions to mine, you can tell me now. After all, this is just my personal opinion. This exam affects everyone's future, so I can't force you to follow my arrangements."
"So what about the leadership selection?"
Ichinose Honami went over the boy's thoughts in her mind and asked him this crucial question.
"Regarding this point, I actually wanted to tell you guys just now. I'm not very good at being a leader, and the same goes for Ichinose-san."
Hashima Hikaru shook his head and explained to everyone, "Don't forget, Ichinose-san and I were quite active during the first month of school."
"When we went to sell the rules, we went to three other classes together. They all knew that Ichinose and I were the core members of Class A. If we were to take on the role of class leader, wouldn't that mean we were giving up the initiative?"
"After what happened before, the students from other classes might pay special attention to Ichinose-san and me during this exam. Even if the key card isn't exposed, if they end up blindly guessing who Ichinose-san is, wouldn't the chances of them being right be very high?"
"We can't predict what other classes will think right now, so it's best not to take any chances. Choosing other students is the best solution."
After this explanation, the students immediately understood where the concern came from. If they wanted to keep the initiative firmly in their hands, they really couldn't choose the two most eye-catching students in Class A as leaders.
"Indeed, Hashima-san's considerations do make sense."
"Yes, anyway, we can't predict what the students in other classes will choose. What if they really want to take a gamble?"
"So who do you think is a good choice, Hashima-san?"
"Yeah, since neither Hashima-san nor Ichinose-san are suitable, who would be the best leader of our class?"
After everyone accepted Hashima's answer, they looked around, wondering who would be the most suitable candidate.
"Who do you think is suitable, Hashima-san?"
The pink-haired girl has now come close to Hashima Hikaru. After she acknowledged Hashima Hikaru's considerations, she intends to support his idea.
"It would be best if it's a classmate who is not too noticeable in the class, but this person must be capable enough and not too reckless, otherwise he will not be able to keep the key card well." Mitsuru Hashima touched his chin and scanned the classmates one by one, wondering who would be the most suitable candidate.
"In that case, I think Nanfang-san is pretty good."
Ichinose Honami uttered a name. This was a girl who was usually very quiet in Class A. Her full name was Minami Kozue. Because she had few interests and hobbies and was not very keen on interpersonal communication, there were not many classmates she could talk to in the class.
But as the class leader, Ichinose had chatted with her many times. Although she liked quietness, her academic and athletic abilities were pretty good. She was not the kind of person who was silent and shy, she just simply liked to be alone.
After listening to the girl's explanation, Hikaru Hashima thought that this was indeed a very good candidate.
Under the guidance of Ichinose Honami, he took a look at the girl named Minamikoto Kozue. She had short hair and pretty looks. She was standing in the crowd wearing sportswear. At first glance, she was not the type that would attract a lot of attention.
"Yes, I think she is suitable."
Mitsuru Hashima snapped his fingers, and while everyone was still thinking, he spoke directly.
"Regarding this, I've actually already recommended a very good candidate. Could you all listen to me?"
"Hey, Hashima-san, have you made up your mind yet? Who do you think would be a good choice?"
"Yeah, who did Hashima-san choose as the leader?"
When everyone's attention was focused on him, Hashima Hikaru did not answer directly, but instead signaled Ichinose Honami next to him to take action. After receiving his signal, the girl immediately walked quickly to the side of the Minami classmate.
"Minami-kun, Hashima-kun thinks you're the perfect candidate to be our class leader."
"Hey, me?"
After having her arm held by Ichinose Honami, Nanfang Kozue was obviously stunned for a moment. After all, she thought that such an extremely important matter should be handled by those very active and upper-ranking people in the class, and it was unlikely that it would be her turn.
"It's actually Nanfang classmate?"
"Now that you put it that way, I think I understand what Hashima-san means." Someone looked at this usually quiet classmate and suddenly realized the logic behind this choice.
"Haha, there's actually no need to hide this from you. You should all be able to understand my thoughts easily."
Hashima Hikaru smiled softly. After he reached Nanfang Kozue, he looked up and explained to the other students, "Securing the key card is a very important matter. Based on the idea I just mentioned, we shouldn't choose someone who attracts too much attention as a leader."
"Although it may be a bit rude to say this, but classmate Nanfang, you are probably not the kind of person who likes to socialize, right?" The boy spoke to the other party gently.
"Yes, but this is just my personal habit, not for any special reason." Nan Fangshao nodded slightly.
"That's enough. During these seven days, we may encounter various unexpected situations. No matter what plan we implement, the safekeeping of the key card must be the highest priority."
"And Nanfang, you don't usually like to socialize, so there's no need to be too conspicuous. Just maintain your usual pace and get along with everyone. That way you can minimize your presence."
"If students from other classes come to spy on our camp and want to find out who the leader is, it won't be so easy for them to target you. Do you understand what I mean?"
"..."
After a moment's silence, a glint of light flashed across Nanfangshao's eyes, and he replied softly, "I understand what you mean, but is it really okay to entrust such an important task to me?"
"What do you think?"
Hashima Hikaru looked at his classmates' faces. This decision was very important, so he wanted to hear what others thought.
However, as an extremely united group, the students in Class A immediately accepted this very good idea after figuring out the boy's intention, and everyone trusted each other's decision.
"I think that's great. As the class leader, Nanfang will surely be able to take good care of the key card."
"Yeah, I agree with this decision."
After everyone had expressed their opinions, Hashima Hikaru glanced at Nanfang Kozue's expression and said calmly, "What do you think Nanfang-san?"
"Since everyone trusts me so much, then I agree. I will work hard for the class." The delicate short-haired girl nodded seriously, indicating that she could take on this important task.
"Okay, I believe that Nanfang can give a perfect performance."
After exchanging a glance with Ichinose Honami next to her, Hashima Hikaru said to her with a smile, "Ichinose-san, please take Minami-san to find Mr. Hoshinomiya to make a key card."
"Uh-huh."
After about a few minutes, the two girls came back from the teacher's side, and the key card with its name engraved on it was in Nanfang Shao's hand.
"Hashima-san, do you want to see it?"
"No, Nanfang, it's best to keep your key card hidden when you don't need it. Don't take it out at any time."
"oh, I understand now."
After resolving the issue of the class leader, the rest of the discussion returned to the plan the teenager had just mentioned.
"Now that our class leaders have been decided, all that remains is to continue discussing the plan I mentioned earlier. Does anyone have anything to add?"
Hikaru Hashima's eyes swept across the faces of everyone in the class. Although he currently possessed extremely high authority in the class, he could not abuse it casually. This was not in line with his usual way of thinking. If he could get everyone to accept this plan, the subsequent arrangements for personnel would be smoother and would not encounter any resistance.
"I agree with Hashima-san's plan."
The first person to raise his hand was Ryuji Kanzaki who had just asked the question. After going through so many class plans, he was quite convinced of the boy's abilities. In addition, according to his own thinking, this exam was clearly an opportunity to obtain a large number of class evaluation points, so he could take the initiative.
"Although our class maintains first place, second-place Class B is always following closely. If we choose a more common strategy for this exam, we may not be able to close the gap with them in the end, and this would be a waste of this opportunity."
"Hashima-san's plan is a completely proactive attack, which I think is very good. After all, as long as you can guess one leader spot correctly, the score difference will be 100 points, which is a very high profit." "Yes, I also think Hashima's plan is very good. According to the last ranking, our main opponent is actually Class B. The scores of other classes are too far away from ours, so we don't need to worry too much at the moment. As long as we can make up for the gap with Class B, we can ensure that our advantage is more stable." Shibata, a self-proclaimed Hashima faction die-hard, immediately followed with the second statement.
After these two boys with more say in the class spoke up, many classmates expressed their approval of the plan.
"I also agree with Hashima-san's plan. Since he's already observed several different locations, that means we already have the upper hand. Why not take advantage of it?"
In fact, Ichinose Honami had just agreed to Hashima Hikaru's plan, but she thought that there needed to be a right time to bring it up. Now that she had seen many people nodding, she spoke at this time.
Seeing that Ichinose Honami had expressed her opinion, the other students who were still struggling with the risks and benefits of this plan naturally understood the class's thoughts and agreed to carry out the plan.
After seeing everyone nod, Hashima Hikaru smiled slightly and said, "In that case, we can start now."
Chapter 147: Ryuen Sho's Unexpected Move
After getting everyone's consent, Hikaru Hashima began to implement his plan.
The first step is to select personnel.
"I remember there are three remaining locations, so when we set off later we can choose three small teams. Each team doesn't need too many people, about two or three will be enough."
Hashima Hikaru stood in front of everyone to explain his arrangements, detailing his thinking at every step.
