"Order....Order...."
"• •" Suzune. "This place has gone to the dogs."
"60 points! Isn't this going to kill me?"
"I'd better drop out of school on my own. At least I can save face....."
Everyone in Class A instantly felt hopeless, especially those at the bottom of class like Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki, who almost cried.
Sixty points!
They didn't even get 40!
Sudo had the opportunity to improve a little during previous tutoring, but 60 points was still out of reach for him.
"Don't be nervous....."
Perhaps because she had fulfilled her long-cherished wish, Chabashira was in a good mood.
And now, Sae's mouth curled up into a malicious smile, "The 60 points I mentioned are combined scores of both paired parties. Since dropping out of school is a risk that both have to bear together, test scores will naturally be shared as well...."
"Sensei, I h-have a question." Curious boy Hirata Yosuke raised his hand and stood up, "If I pair up with Sudo-kun, even if he scores zero, but as long as I score 60, there will be no problem, right?"
"That's good, Hirata."
At this moment, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
So that means as long as everyone scores above 30 points there will be no problem.
This is still not a big problem.
Even Ike and Yamauchi could score over 20 points.
Then if you pair up with someone who can score 40 points, you can also pass the exam.
"That's totally feasible!"
"There should be quite a few students in the class who can score 60 points, right?"
"Even if the score is less than 60, how can a pair of people not get much?"
"Each person only needs to get 30 points!"
"Isn't this completely fine?"
Although many poor students became excited, this also made a few toppers like Yukimura confused.
If they are paired like this, average score requirement will be lowered.
Isn't this too much of a favor?
"Chabashira-sensei, what does the alternative passing score mean?" Suzune glanced at Hachiman who was sitting next to her and acting badly, then she raised her hand and asked calmly.
"This is the new criterion for dropping out of school for this exam," Chabashira glanced at Horikita.
She knew that Hikigaya's goal had been achieved, so he might not try his best anymore.
But Suzune has now taken over.
Although the class will definitely fall behind soon, she is still willing to see someone willing to turn the tide.
So continued, "In addition to the passing score requirement of 60, there is also for the total score.
Even if the scores of each subject are above 60 points, if the total score is below the passing score, it will still be judged as a failure.
Both parties in the pairing will face the penalty of expulsion."
"Is total score also the sum of both?"
"Once again right, Hirata."
"So, Chabashira-sensei, what is the passing score for us?" Kushida asked in a soft voice.
"The specific criteria have not yet been determined."
"....Oh, come on bruh...."
'Forehead? These people. Can't they just not interrupt for once?' Sae felt a minor headache was coming later, "But the standard in previous years was 700 points."
"In previous years? In other words, it wasn't the first time?" Suzune frowned slightly.
She originally thought that school was targeting her.
But now it seems to be a very legitimate exam.
She always felt that something was wrong, but can't tell what.
Eight subjects, each worth 100 marks.
If two people are paired, that means a total of sixteen subjects, with a total of 1600 points.
And according to the 700-point standard mentioned by Chabashira.
Then average score per person in each subject must be at least 44 points.
Doesn't sound like much.
However, for many poor students, it seems like an insurmountable chasm!
And if one of them gets zero points, then in order to ensure they pass....
As for the other person, he must score at least 88 points in every subject!
This request is terrifying.
The expectations for the final exams in second month of school are actually seriously overestimated.
Even in their class, there were more than a dozen students who scored full marks.
But that's if the answer is obtained in advance.
As long as you memorize the answers carefully, even a poor student can pass the exam.
But this time, Chabashira announced it earlier.
The papers are not issued by the school!
Then, possibility of cheating is eliminated.
It is extremely difficult to get 88 points based on your own true ability!
"Don't forget, there is also option of deducting points."
Who performed very poorly in the sports festival, and even though his friends from Ichinose's class helped him out, Yukimura still took one of the bottom ten spots.
Then, he was asked to deduct 10 points from all subjects in the written test.
It wasn't a problem for him.
Because he is a top student.
So now in his home court, Yukimura pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said lightly.
This caused Class A to fall into silence for a moment, and no one said a word.
Yes, there is also option of deducting points.
In the last sports festival, bottom 10 students in each class will have same points deducted from their scores in the next exam!
If two people do this, 10 points will be deducted from both of them.
20!
At the end of Grade-wide sports meet, their class occupied 4 of the bottom 10 spots.
One of them is Koenji who gave up, then one is Yukimura, then one is a passerby boy, and one is a girl named Hasebe Haruka.
"Everyone, we must unite!"
As the person who most wanted to maintain peace, Hirata's motherly nature had already noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere and hurriedly made a request appeal.
Faced with this situation, best solution is actually to pair poor students with good ones.
The last person is paired with first person.
In this way, he can ensure that everyone can pass the exam to the greatest extent possible.
However, the difficulty lies in fact there are too many poor students in Class A.
Moreover, the "poor students" and "excellent students" are based on the last midterm exam.
They themselves knew very well how sloppy last exam was.
What if two fakes team up, won't they be doomed in the end?
But if you only pursue safety and are selfish, you will definitely choose to pair up with someone with better grades.
For example, the first and second places are calm.
But in this way, bottom half of the students are almost abandoned.
If a top student doesn't want to be expelled from school, he will definitely not choose to team up with a poor student because he is afraid of being dragged down.
It is entirely possible.
Because this is not an ordinary exam, but an exam that can decide their life or death!
If they fail, they will all be expelled!
No one wants to be expelled from school.
"In that case, what should I do...?"
"It's really too much there is such a rule!"
"I don't want to be expelled from school…"
Real academic master looks calm and normal.
Like Suzune, Yukimura, Hirata and Kushida.
Ah.... Hikigaya Hachiman was still lying on his table with a Deathly expression in eyes.
His maths score is pretty bad.
But, rest mentioned above in every subject, can guarantee to get more than 88 points.
So, it doesn't matter even if gets paired with the worst student.
It doesn't matter even if poor students get zero points.
But, only four of them have such confidence.
Others like Ayanokoji don't.
Because their scores are very inflated.
In addition, fact they can cheat on the midterm exam makes people dream they can cheat on all future exams.
Even though Hikigaya-kun asked students from Ichinose's class to come and help without missing out, after the final exams, few people were able to persist in studying.
As a result, many of them did not study seriously at all.
In the end, no one knew how many points they would get.
What's more, the last exam only covered five subjects: Japanese, mathematics, chemistry, social studies and English.
This time it's 8 gates to pass!
In other words, there are still three subjects that have never been tested, including history taught by the homeroom teacher Chabashira Sae.
So don't know what their scores are.
"....Chabashira-sensei." Suzune took a deep breath, stood up and attracted the attention of others, "Do you have any papers from previous final exams or quizzes?"
No matter what, the most important thing is to test everyone's true level first.
If really doesn't work then, she'll talk about it later.
"Don't worry, we'll do a small test," Chabashira didn't really have the mood but still announced what she was paid for, "In addition, final exams will be held over two days, with four exams each day.
The specific order will be notified later. If someone is unable to take the exam due to physical discomfort, school will determine the legitimacy of their behavior."
"If your review is correct, the score will be estimated based on midterm exam results as the final exam score."
"Doesn't that mean..." A guy is seriously considering slashing his nerves with a Kitchen knife.
"???" Hosen from next-year felt exposed in the middle of his Gang-war, "Oye, Come here you bastard, I will break that skull!"
All of a sudden, hope appeared in the eyes of the poor students in Class A.
