You Will Regret This Ichinose! [149]
Added 2025-02-27 07:17:02 +0000 UTCTime flew by, and in the blink of an eye, Uesugi had made it through yet another midterm exam.
“Time sure flies.”
Lying on his desk, Uesugi gazed out the window, watching the white clouds drift across the sky before covering his head in frustration.
“Ugh, it’s back to those dull and boring special exams again. Does this school even know how to come up with interesting tests? How can a special exam be this boring?!”
Thinking back on the past few weeks, life had been absolutely delightful.
Spending his free time gaming with Miss Phantom Thief…
Discussing novel plots over text with Shiina-san…
And secretly gossiping about the will-they-won’t-they drama between his partner in crime and Horikita…
In the end, Uesugi swayed his head from side to side with a satisfied grin.
This is what youth is all about!
“…Then, did your ‘youth’ tell you what’s coming next?”
A quiet voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
“Hm?”
Uesugi squinted his eyes warily and turned his head.
“Now’s my chance! Watch as I execute my ultimate chokehold!”
With a sharp glint in his eye, Shibata Sō let out a loud shout and swiftly extended his right arm, locking Uesugi’s neck in a firm hold. Then, he cackled wildly.
“Hahaha! Uesugi, you’ve finally fallen into my hands! Now spill—what’s the intel on the special exam?!”
“Cough, cough! Shibata, release me at once, or you shall face my merciless revenge!”
Uesugi struggled while yelling dramatically.
Nearby, Kanzaki Ryūji cast a brief glance at the two fooling around before shifting his attention back to his book. “Then hurry up and spill the details about the special exam already. Don’t act like some cryptic fortune teller every time.”
“If you’re that eager, why don’t you go charm some upperclassmen and get intel yourself? Use that face of yours and reel in a senpai for the class! Then we wouldn’t have to worry about special exam information anymore.”
Uesugi’s voice was filled with indignation.
Hearing that, Kanzaki’s curiosity was piqued.
“…So, what’s the deal with that senior of yours? They always seem to have inside info on these special exams.”
Kanzaki narrowed his eyes. “Don’t tell me you’ve colluded with someone on the exam board?”
“Ridiculous. Fake news.”
“As for the special exam, you’ll find out when Hoshinomiya-sensei arrives. It’s boring as hell.”
Huh?
For Uesugi to call a special exam ‘boring’—now that was intriguing.
Classroom – After the Midterm Results
“Hahaha! Congratulations, everyone! Our class has secured the highest average score in the entire grade for this midterm!”
Standing at the front of the class with her hands on her hips, Hoshinomiya Chie burst into hearty laughter. Ever since Class B had left the other classes in the dust with a massive lead in class points, she had been walking with an extra spring in her step.
“…Ugh.”
Sitting in the front row, Shiranami Chihiro pinched her nose. “Sensei, don’t tell me you were drinking again just now?”
“Details, details! No need to sweat the small stuff.”
Hoshinomiya waved her hand dismissively before tapping her head as if trying to recall something.
“Now, where was I? Oh, right! Midterms! This special exam is right up our alley.”
“I mentioned this before—starting next week, there will be a series of scattered quizzes covering the eight subjects for the second semester’s final exam.”
“No, you never said that.”
XN.
Watching their tipsy homeroom teacher on the podium, the class collectively felt a wave of despair wash over them. It’s bad enough that our vice class rep is unreliable, but our homeroom teacher too?
“Huh?”
Hoshinomiya scratched her head. “I didn’t say that?”
“Not even once!!!”
XN.
“Well, there’s not much difference whether I say it now or later. The quizzes next week, like the ones in the first semester, won’t directly affect your grades. However, their results will impact your final exam scores—meaning, they’re part of this special exam.”
At that moment, Kanzaki and Shibata exchanged glances.
No wonder Uesugi called this special exam ‘boring.’ So it’s just more exams…
Hoshinomiya continued, “Based on the quiz results, you’ll be paired up in teams of two for the final exam, which serves as this semester’s special exam. While there is an expulsion penalty, given our current grades, we should be fine. In past years, only one or two pairs from Class C or D got expelled.”
“Paired up?”
“That’s right!”
Hoshinomiya taped a set of printed rules onto the board.
“I won’t go into too much detail—read through the rules yourselves. The rest of the time is for discussion. If you have any questions, ask me.”
Having said her piece, she plopped down in her chair and watched the class with an amused smile.
Paper Shuffle Special Exam Rules:
The final exam consists of eight subjects, each with a maximum score of 100 points. Each subject contains 50 questions, totaling 400 questions.
Students will take the final exam in pairs. Succeed together, fail together.
The pairing method will be determined based on quiz results and announced later.
[Note: Once assigned, partners cannot be changed.]This final exam introduces two separate fail conditions:
First Condition: Similar to past exams, each subject has a minimum passing score of 60. If either partner scores below 60 in any subject, both will be expelled.
[Note: The ‘60 points’ requirement refers to the combined total of both partners’ scores in a given subject.]
Example: If Student A and Student B are paired, and Student A scores 0, Student B must score at least 60 for both to pass.
Second Condition: A newly added requirement. The school will set a minimum total score threshold. Even if a pair scores above 60 in every subject, they will still be considered failed if their combined total is below this threshold.
[Note: The exact score requirement is yet to be determined, but historically, it has been around 700 points.]
Cheating is strictly prohibited. Any student caught cheating will be immediately disqualified along with their partner and expelled.
Additional Rule:
The test questions will be created by students.
[Note: The class is responsible for making its own exam questions. Any content within the syllabus is allowed, whether simple or difficult.]
[Note: If the submitted questions exceed the syllabus or have no solvable answer, teachers will intervene to make corrections.]
Before the final exam, each class will designate a target class to receive their test questions (attack), while the chosen class must answer them (defense).
[Note: If two or more classes choose the same target, a lottery will determine the assignment. Otherwise, selections are guaranteed.]
At the end of the final exam, the class scores will be compared.
The winning class gains 50 class points from the losing class.
If the score difference reaches 100 points, an additional 100 class points will be transferred.
[Note: If scores are tied, no points will be exchanged.]
After reading, Kanzaki frowned slightly. “This does seem like our class’s advantage. Other than the unclear pairing method, the rest is just an academic showdown.”
Turning to Uesugi, his sharp gaze locked onto him.
“…You definitely know how the pairing works, don’t you?”
“It’s probably based on ranking—high scores paired with low scores.”
Ichinose Honami pulled a chair next to Uesugi, flashing a knowing smile.
“Right, Gen-kun~?”
“Wait, how did you—”
Kanzaki glanced at Hoshinomiya, who was also grinning at them.
“…I see.”
Realizing Uesugi’s quiz score would determine pairings, Kanzaki smirked.
“This really is a boring special exam.”
Ichinose patted Uesugi’s head.
“We’ll handle the test creation, but… can we borrow your activity room for studying?”
Uesugi waved dismissively.
“Go ahead.”
Good thing I had the foresight to set up another one.
