'Did Hikigaya-kun foresee this from beginning, or did he know about it and even make arrangements?'
Because of contract in library, Hiyori knew that Hikigaya-kun had obtained right to use first-year Class D.
Among them is Command of the examination for a whole month.
'Hikigaya-kun, you are planning to do something and do it big....!'
Teacher Sakagami seemed to be in a good mood today, so he taught at his best.
Examination rules were directly announced.
"This time exam will still be held on an Uninhabited island just like last year, but the biggest difference is scale. The test period is two weeks, and island to be used will be larger than before. So, upgraded equipment in the second grade came in handy."
Teacher Sakagami tapped the electronic screen on blackboard.
The display screen immediately showed an uninhabited island floating on the sea, photographed from above.
If island exam for first grade in the past was enough to accommodate the entire grade.
But island that now appears is ten times size of last year.
"However, as for how to proceed on an uninhabited island, the specific rules are that you will board the ship on May 6th, and an explanation will be given on the morning of the 8th. And information I can tell you now is that exam will be conducted in teams."
"You can form teams between different classes in the same grade, or you can just form teams within your own class. The team size limit is 1-3 people. You can play solo, or you can play with two or three. And this requires you to apply for team formation through OAA system and complete it before the 6th."
"When official exam begins on the 8th, the number of people will be increased and can be expanded to a large group of 4-6 people."
"It should be noted that once a team is formed, the group will act together. If a group member has to leave the exam due to force majeure, remaining group members will continue to score, and group can survive without being disqualified."
'In other words, although one can act alone, if something happens to a single soldier, then he is doomed. But if you are in a team, as long as there are teammates, test results can continue. However, teaming up can preserve results, but it is also possible that teammates are too good and become a burden when projects need to be completed at the same time,' Hachiman thought as he checked the rules of this exam.
Sakagami-sensei continued to announce with a serious expression on his face, as if his life depends on it.
"Since it involves forming a team, issue of reward distribution is inevitable," As Sakagami said this, a picture appeared on blackboard.
Rewards and penalties are calculated based on the team's total score.
First place group
You will receive 400 class evaluation points, 1 million private points, and +1 dropout protection spot.
Second place group
You will receive 300 class evaluation points and 500,000 private points.
Third place group
You will receive 150 class evaluation points and 250,000 private points.
At the same time, top 50% of the group scores (including the first to third place)
Personal points: 50,000 points.
The top 70% of group score ratio (including the first to third place)
Personal points: 10,000 points.
Note 1: The class evaluation scores obtained by top three members will be transferred from classes of the bottom 3 members of the group.
Note 2: Class scores will be divided equally among the classes participating in group, regardless of the number of group members (rounded up).
"…"
The rewards are quite generous.
From straightforward rewards of class evaluation scores for the top three, to a reward of 1 million points for the first place.
Even after the groups are formed and ranked by points, top 50% can receive a minimum reward of 50,000 points.
Very good already.
Hachiman remained silent.
Because this was far from scope of what he wanted to do.
In other words, he was actually wrong.
The special exam in the first month just passed was just a warm-up.
The following special exams were the highlight, and both scores and rewards would follow.
'If I seize the opportunity, I can make a big profit. Because this is a melee among three grades, reward should not be lower than last year's forest exam.....'
"The reward is what I just said, and the punishment is that all members of five teams with lowest scores will be expelled from school. Of course, the board is not so ruthless. Each team only needs to pay 6 million points to avoid the expulsion penalty."
"If the group consists of six people, each person only needs to pay 1 million points."
Although you only need to pay 1 million points, how many people can have 1.... to pay the penalty individually?
If you don't form a group of 6 but act alone, you will need to pay 6 million by yourself, which is even worse!
So, punishment for this exam is still a bit harsh.
Because it can directly cause up to 30 people to drop out of school. So, there should be many people who don't want to leave.
Hikigaya-kun continued to remain silent. 'Judging from the punishment, I can still make some money from this exam. As for the price, it is about 20 million.....'
But Hachiman was not very enthusiastic about this kind of reward.
Because he can do it without skipping classes.
"Are there no other rules?" Hikigaya hadn't said anything yet, and at this moment a man with Magenta-parted hair suddenly stood up.
This is Ryuen Kakeru.
For him, they spent a lot of money to buy Hikigaya, a shrewd guy, from Class B.
As a result, he has spent all his money, and you are still so stingy about the exam. Doesn't it make him wonder when he can get his investment back?
After all, he is still carrying a debt of 12 million.
"Some!" Then he clicked on the electronic display screen.
Soon, eight prop cards appeared on it.
"Because if we are not careful, a large number of students will drop out. So, the school also made remedial measures."
"This is prop card that comes with the exam. Every student can get one by logging into their OAA system at 8 o'clock tonight. The odds are equally random."
As Mr. Sakagami spoke, eight prop cards and their descriptions were displayed on the screen.
[1 Lead Card-When the exam starts, number of material points that can be used is doubled.
2 Additional Cards - The personal points reward received by the holder is doubled.
3. Half-point card - reduces the personal points paid for penalties by half. Will only be reflected to the student holding the card.
4. Hitchhiking Card - Get an additional half of the personal points of group you specified at the beginning of the test. If the specified group is combined with your own, effect is eliminated.
5. Insurance Card - If you are disqualified due to illness during the exam, the holder will receive a one-day recovery buffer.
Disqualification due to improper behavior, etc. is invalid.
6. Addition Card - Students with this card can be included in group as the seventh student. This card will take effect after the exam begins and will not be affected by the gender ratio.
7. Invalid card - The personal points paid during the penalty will become zero. It will only be reflected on the card-holding student.
8 Trial Cards - Get right to multiply the special exam class point reward by 1.5 times. However, if you don't enter top 30% of the group, entire group will be punished.
Note: The additional remuneration will be made up by the school.
Note 2: Each person is given a random item card. Multiple items can be carried at the same time, but effects of the same card will not be superimposed.]
"Then, you need to form a team successfully before 8 o'clock on the 6th. Once you do, it cannot be easily changed," Mr. Sakagami said this and lowered his gaze to look at his favourite child, "Ryuen, are you still dissatisfied with anything?"
"No more," Ryuen sat down with a grin on his face. Hachiman was also satisfied.
Once patch of this prop card is applied, you will find this exam can be done on a large scale if you want.
While thinking this, Hachiman noticed that Ryuen was looking at him.
Obviously, he also saw core of this exam.
Collect cards.
However, they have not bee issued yet, and you have to wait until 8 o'clock in the evening to see status of various prop cards.
So let's strike first now.
"Sensei, can I touch my phone? I want to send a text message," As a newbie, Hikigaya raised his hand and said obediently.
"The exam rules have been announced, and now it's your free time," Sakagami is very easy to talk to.
As class teacher, although he knew the exam rules, he did not find optimal solution for this exam.
'I just feel that once patch of this prop card was applied, there seemed to be light in the eyes of both Ryuen and Hikigaya.....Obviously, if you can get the firstplace in group score, if it is a class...Then, once trials in item card are added together, you can get a class evaluation score of 400X1.5, up to 600 points...! Similarly, if you get second place, you can get 300X1.5=450 points. Then third place gets 150X1.5=225 points.....The total class evaluation score will be 1275 points. If Class D gets it all at once, they will be soaring to the top!'
But you know it's difficult, after all, there are 3 grades together, so Mr. Sakagami is just thinking about it and hopes that class will get first place.
At least, another 200 points.
He didn't ask to return to Class C immediately, but at least he wanted to make sure the students had enough to eat.
Sometimes when he saw students eating free meals in the school cafeteria, he felt powerless.
'This shouldn't have happened. The class that I was so confident about at beginning shouldn't have gone like this.....'

The same examination rules are also announced in other classes.
Here in Class 2A.
"You cannot give up this exam, Sakayanagi. If you don't take it, you will be punished. The worst case scenario is expulsion."
Mr. Mashima paused at this point, but all students in Class A knew it.
Then all looked towards same place.
In center of the class, sat a super cute girl with straight silver hair.
This is Sakayanagi Arisi.
Now that Katsuragi faction had long been defeated, she was the only class representative.
The students in class are a little worried about Sakayanagi-san's condition.
Because last year, girl was unable to go with them to Deserted island for exam due to her health, so this time... could it be that... she can't participate...
"I will team up with Sakayanagi," At this time, a girl with long purple hair suddenly said, "As long as we form a team, even if not all members go to the uninhabited island, it still counts as taking the exam, right? After all, rules of the exam state that as long as there is one team member left in the group, they can fight to the end."
Forehead!
This girl.....
"Kamuro-san...."
Sakayanagi's puppy, who also looked at her with slightly uncomfortable and grateful look in her eyes.
Others reacted quickly.
Even if Sakayanagi can't go, we can just form a team.
Although the score will be affected if one teammate is missing, this is an opportunity to show off in front of Princess Sakayanagi!
"I'm willing to form a team, too."
"Me too!"
"I also------!"
Soon, Class A became lively.
People act as dogs. There are actually quite a few people who want to be dogs for.
Princess Sakayanagi.
President Sakayanagi.
"It seems that I am really popular," Although, Sakayanagi was now smiling like an idiot, she didn't mind her own business.
She was in poor health, admitted.
Then, was forced by her father to refuse any strenuous exercise.
However, it is still possible to get on a ship and head to an uninhabited island.
So, Sakayanagi can still play role of the commander of Class A.
