"……excuse me." After a brief silence, Karuizawa Kei finally chose to compromise. She nodded apologetically and scurried into the room, sitting down on the last chair on Wu Yi's right with her head hung. "Now that everyone is here, I will begin to explain the rules of this special exam." Mashima Tomoya put on a serious face and spoke in a stern tone. "In this special exam, the school will compare all first-year students to the 12 zodiac signs and divide them into 12 groups. We will hold exams within the groups. The purpose of the exam is to test students' thinking ability." "The basic abilities required of people in society can be roughly divided into three categories: Action, Thinking, and Teamwork. Only those who possess these abilities are qualified to be called excellent adults. For example, the focus of the previous uninhabited island exam was to test your teamwork ability." "However, this time it's Thinking. This will be an exam that requires thinking ability. Thinking ability means the ability to analyze the current situation and then sort out the issues, the ability to first figure out the process of solving the problem and then prepare, and the ability to use creativity to create new value." Tomoya Mashima spoke in a very official and academic manner, which left the other three with several question marks in their heads. And Wu Yi sighed. "Teacher, why don't you just say it's a test of your brain's sharpness? Why are you talking so much nonsense... why do you deliberately make it so brain-destroying?"
Volume 111: Chapter I have a bold "If you still find it hard to understand after I've said this, I'll explain it to you in the simplest and most straightforward way." As if he was helpless about the IQ of the students in front of him, Tomoya Mashima sighed and took out four postcard-sized papers and four standard A4-sized instruction manuals from behind his back. "I've told you before that this special exam will divide all first-year students into groups based on the twelve Chinese zodiac signs. Here are your group members and the exam rules. You've been assigned to the Rabbit group. The other students in your group are now receiving instructions in other rooms. You can read the rest on your own. If you don't understand, read it twice more." "Oh?" Wu Yi reached out to take it, his eyes swept across the paper, and he raised his eyebrows slightly. There is indeed a big "Mao" written on the postcard, which means "rabbit" in the twelve zodiac signs, and below is the list of members of the Rabbit Group. Respectively-- Class A: Shigeru Takemoto, Koji Machida, Takuro Morishige. Class B: Wu Yi, Karuizawa Megumi, Sotomura Hideo, Yukimura Teruhiko. Class C: Honami Ichinose, Tetsuya Hamaguchi, Ryota Beppu. Class D: Mio Ibuki, Shiho Manabe, Nami Yabuna, Saki Yamashita. Oh wow, are people from other classes actually getting involved? Just when Wu Yi's mind was filled with confusion, Mashima Tomoya's voice rang out again. "Don't you need to watch it?" "Uh……" Everyone simultaneously raised their heads to look at the head teacher of Class A, and then turned their heads again in the direction of his gaze. It turned out to be Karuizawa Megumi. For some reason, she didn't even take the instruction manual. She just sat there with her head lowered. There was obviously no focus in her eyes, as if she was completely autistic.
After hearing what Mashima Tomoya said, the girl came back to her senses in a daze. After looking at the paper in the former's hand, she seemed to realize something, reached out to take it woodenly, and then continued to lower her head and look at the paper in autism. Well, it looks like I may have to explain this to this girl again later... Wu Yixin said this and looked down at the instruction manual. Anyway, let’s take a look at what this exam is all about. There was a lot of content in the instruction manual, and Wu Yi quickly glanced through it. Overall, it was a bit lengthy, but after a slight simplification, it could be summarized into the following points. 1. Just as Mr. Majima said, this exam will divide all the first-year students into twelve groups. Each group will have students from classes A, B, C, and D. Although it is not a completely even distribution, the number is basically the same, the only difference is that there are three students from one class and four students from another. 2. There is a "favored person" in each group. The selected person will receive an email from the school at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning to secretly inform him/her of the fact of being selected. Those who are not selected will also receive an email, but the content will be slightly different. 3. Although at first glance this exam looks a bit like the Werewolf game, except that one is looking for werewolves and the other is looking for the favored person, there is still a difference in essence. Normally, werewolves must try their best to hide their identities, while the favored person can hide or reveal his or her identity, it depends on personal choice. 4. The exam will theoretically last for four days, including one day of completely free time. According to the school's arrangement, students can submit their answers to the school's designated email address between 9:30 and 10:00 pm on the last day to state who they think will be favored. However, they can also hand in their papers early at any time, but this behavior involves both risks and benefits. To put it in a blunt way, it's like you made a bet with your head teacher that if you hand in your exam paper early and get full marks, you don't have to do your homework this weekend. Otherwise, if you don't get full marks, not only do you still have to do your homework, but you also have to copy the entire exam paper again. Or if you don't want to take this risk, you can also wait until the last minute to hand in the paper. Although you can't avoid doing homework, you don't have to worry about not getting full marks and being punished for copying the paper. Of course, this is just an analogy. When applied to this school, it is about class points and personal points. In addition to these, there are some small details, such as each group of members gathering at the designated time and in the designated room every day during the four days of the exam for a one-hour discussion and so on. As for the topic of discussion, anything is fine. For example, the school only accepts students to answer questions by sending emails to a designated email address using their own mobile phones, and students can only answer questions as members of their own group. It is useless to answer questions from other groups even if they guess correctly. Then there are the four results of the exam... Because there are four situations: correct answers, incorrect answers, and submitting the paper early and submitting the paper on time, there will be four corresponding results. It is worth mentioning that the person who is given preferential treatment in the group and his classmates have no right to answer the questions. Let’s talk about submitting the paper on time first. Result 1: If everyone in the group answers correctly except the favored students and their companions, the school will pay personal points to all group members, 500,000 points for each ordinary member and 1 million points for each favored student. Result 2: Under the same conditions, if someone does not answer or answers incorrectly, the school will pay the favored person 500,000 personal points. Then let’s talk about what would happen if a self-important Dogecoin thought it already understood everything and chose to hand in the paper early. Result three: Under the same conditions, if someone hands in the paper ahead of time and answers the question about the identity of the preferential treatment and the answer is correct, then the examination process for that group will end immediately, and the school will reward the student who answered correctly with 500,000 personal points, and his class will also receive 50 class points as a reward; and as a punishment, the preferential treatment class whose identity is discovered will have 50 class points deducted. Result 4: Still under the same conditions, if a Hamapi hands in the paper early and answers incorrectly, then his class will be deducted 50 points, which will be subsidized to the class of the person who received the preferential treatment, and the person who received the preferential treatment will also receive 500,000 personal points as a reward. In addition, the preferential identity authentication text messages sent by the school are all read-only, so there is no possibility of tampering. As long as you can see that the text message is sent from the school's IP, it must be authentic. Because these rules are written in great detail on paper, they may seem confusing and complicated, but as long as you understand the context and just look at the main content, it is easy to understand. "I see, I completely understand." Wu Yi touched his chin, the corners of his mouth raised wildly, looking a little excited. "This special exam is very interesting."
"Eh? Your Highness Wu Yi, do you think you understand? I am still confused." Sotomura Hideo was a little surprised. Yukimura said nothing, but just pushed his glasses and smiled slightly. He probably understood. As for Karuizawa Kei... forget it, I'll just give her some private lessons later. “It’s not that hard to understand, actually.” Wu Yi organized his words and briefly repeated the theories of submitting the paper early and submitting it on time. Soon, Waicun's initial "Aba Aba" gradually turned into a thoughtful look, and finally he nodded while humming. “So, I have a bold idea!” Wu Yi clasped his hands together with a snap and rubbed them slightly, the smile on his face becoming more and more wild. "Everyone, are you willing to cooperate and give me your cell phones completely for the next few days?" "...huh?" Volume 112: Chapter This guy takes the boss away "Please give me your phone..." "Give it to His Highness Wu Yi?" As soon as these words came out, Yukimura and Sotomura showed varying degrees of troubled expressions. Actually, it’s no wonder. After all, because of their personalities and hobbies, these two people are free people in the class... Well, this is a relatively high EQ statement. To put it bluntly, it’s the self-defeating nature of lonely patients. At least in terms of their social circles, there is absolutely no overlap between the three of them, and their social level is limited to being able to call each other by name. But now Wu Yi suddenly asked others to hand over their phones to him. This was a bit... "A reminder: Forcing others to hand over their phones or snatching and stealing them will be considered a serious violation of school rules and regulations. Once confirmed, the offender will be expelled from school." Tomoya Mashima, who had not said a word since handing over the instruction manual, suddenly spoke. Wu Yi glanced at him sideways. "Teacher, in your eyes, are all of us who were promoted from Class D and shaved the heads of Class A during the last uninhabited island exam all problem students who are aggressive and aggressive?" "No, I never have a stereotype about any student who is promoted from a lower class..." Mashima Tomoya kept his eyes fixed on her the whole time he was saying this, and it seemed like he was just about to finish the second half of the sentence. ——But you are definitely a problem student. He probably meant to say that. "Hey, don't worry~" Wu Yi suddenly laughed out loud. "Last time was an exception. After all, I was entrusted with a task, so I had to do it a little more seriously. At least I think this special test is quite interesting. Besides, since it is said that the test is about thinking ability, it would be too boring to solve the problem by using force... So, don't you think I am actively communicating with the people in our class?"
"I know." Mashima Tomoya's voice was very stiff. "But you can communicate after you go back. If you are sure that all the questions on the exam are OK, you can leave. However, you must leave both pieces of paper. You can write things down, but you are not allowed to take photos or videos." "Oh." Wu Yi nodded in understanding. "But teacher, I have a question. I want to know if the students from other groups besides our group have also seen this document?" "No comment." Unexpectedly, Tomoya Mashima chose to refuse to answer the question as a response. Wu Yi continued to ask questions. "So after we leave, will the next group of people to come to this room be members of the Dragon Team?" "No comment." Still the same reason for rejection. Wu Yi asked again. "One last question. Is it true that there is a 20-minute interval between each group of people?" "...No comment." At this stage, Mashima Satoshi was like a stone in a toilet. No matter how the other party asked questions, he always maintained an attitude of "I have nothing to say" and did not utter a single word. This is no different from saying "Villager, pass" when speaking during the day in Werewolf. There is no value in your speech at all. But Wu Yi smiled as if all his questions were answered. He held up his right index finger as the first finger. "I see. The answer to the first question should be yes." "..." Mashima Tomoya remained motionless. Wu Yi continued to raise his second finger. "The answer to the second question, I think, should be no." "..." The corner of Mashima Tomoya's eye twitched slightly. Wu Yi raised his third finger again. "But the answer to the third question, I think, is still yes."
"..." At this point, Tomoya Mashima had no choice but to remain silent, because whether he admitted or denied it, he would reveal his flaws. And he also had to admit that Wu Yi's thinking on these three questions was - all correct. "Okay, it's almost time, we should go." Wu Yi gently pulled the instruction manual out of Karuizawa Kei's hand, stacked it with his own, and handed it to the head teacher of Class A, then stood up and walked out the door. As soon as he stood up, Karuizawa Kei also stood up as if inspired by something. Seeing this, the two villagers naturally had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.
