"This... range is the right one."

While looking at the real test range drawn by Sae Chabashira, and comparing it with the answers given by Kitagawa Ryo for the first time, Horikita Suzune was a little surprised to find that all the questions matched up perfectly, and the ideas for setting the questions were exactly the same. In terms of comparison, the school's test questions and the test questions with wrong answers are simply full of loopholes. After all, they are imitations of two students, Kinda Satoru and Shiina Hiyori.

"Everyone, wait a minute!"

Horikita Suzune didn't have time to think too much. She had to admit that Kitagawa Ryo's design was quite ingenious. She used the information gap to complete the exchange of true and false answers with her own hands. She even convinced herself for a time. However, the other party was arrogant to the point of You gave yourself the real answer once and for all. Do you think you will be fooled so that you can ridicule it?

Seeing that the students in Class D were all looking towards her, Horikita Suzune took a deep breath and said loudly:

"The answer just handed out is a fake answer designed by Class C. Don't remember it for now. The one I have in my hand is the correct answer. I will print it out right away."

She briefly described the matter in a somewhat proud tone. The students in Class D were also somewhat proud after hearing that Horikita Suzune had seen through Class C's trick:

"Isn't it a big deal with those guys in Class C?"

"She only plays tricks."

"The deception is so low-level, I might not even fall for it."

"Actually, I can easily get full marks even if there is no correct answer. But since Horikita-san has found the correct answer, you should send me a copy as soon as possible."

Yosuke Hirata also took advantage of the situation and planned to boost morale:

"So Class D is actually no worse than other classes. As long as everyone works together, there will definitely be a chance to surpass Class C."

After saying this, there was another wave of applause. This was the first time since May that Class D had such strong energy.

Horikita Suzune nodded with satisfaction. She had already expected that with the end of the midterm exam, she would also lead a brand new Class D to attack Class C.

"Kitagawa Ryo."

She lowered her eyes and whispered the other person's name.

Even Horikita Suzune didn't notice that at some point, the person she was chasing and trying to overtake had slowly moved in another direction.

ps: 5,000 words, today is equivalent to an update of 10,000 words. I am asking for a free monthly recommendation ticket after a long time.

ps2: Explain that both answers are false answers. The first one is a false answer with slightly adjusted values ​​but the test range is correct, and the second one is a true answer with correct values ​​but the wrong test range.

ps3: Thank you for reading and subscribing. I thought I could finish the midterm exam in one chapter, but it seems I won't be able to finish it. I will end this episode tomorrow. There should be only one update tomorrow because I get home, and the day after tomorrow when I get home I should update two chapters a day totaling 10,000 words. I will work hard_(:з」∠)_

Megumi Karuizawa's Autumn Remembrance: Chapter 20: The Big Shuffle in Class D

In late May, which has a slightly summery atmosphere, the midterm exams of Tokyo Advanced High School have officially begun.

For all first-year freshmen, unlike other exams they have experienced before, this is an extremely harsh exam in which those who fail will drop out of school. Except for the most outstanding students, in fact, everyone will fail more or less. There is some tension in the area, except of course for memorizing the answers.

"It's just a mid-term exam. When I was a kid in my country, I won the first prize in an international competition, and some foreign universities invited me to study there."

Haruki Yamauchi was talking big words as always. The answers he sent yesterday must have given him confidence. He started clamoring again to compete with Ike Kanji to see who got the higher score.

However, because everyone in Class D was in a pretty good mood today, they didn't pay much attention to these two people. They either took advantage of the little time before the exam to continue to memorize the answers to the two questions, or discussed the exam as if they were sure of winning. Where are you going to have a dinner after the exam? Although the points in Class D are now very few, everyone basically still believes that the points will be increased after the midterm exam. No matter how much the specific number is, it is always good to have it.

The midterm exams at Tokyo Advanced Education Middle School were five exams in one day, and the rest time between each exam was not long, so the schedule was relatively tight. Chabashira Sae also arrived at Class D's classroom a little earlier than usual.

"No one is absent. Looks like the whole class is here."

Although she had some bad premonitions in her heart, Chabashira Sae could only open the file bag containing the test papers while showing a fearless smile.

"This is the first level for you guys out there. Do you have any questions?"

Having said this, even Chabashira Sae herself felt a little guilty. If something went wrong in Class D's midterm exam, she would definitely be to blame. But fortunately, Class D is still immersed in her own hands. In the joy of knowing the answer, I never thought of asking Chabashira Sae about the scope of the exam.

"We have studied very seriously in the past few weeks. I don't think any student in this class will fail!"

Hirata Yosuke, who made a speech to boost morale, was quite confident. Apart from the answers obtained by Horikita Suzune, the students of Class D had indeed worked hard for the midterm exams. After all, even Sudou Yamauchi and Chi also participated in the study meeting honestly.

"Hirata, you are really confident."

Chabashira Sae looked around the class. The expressions of other students seemed to be full of confidence. The students' confidence also indirectly affected Chabashira Sae. She tidied the examination papers on the table.

The first subject to be tested is social studies. Social studies can be said to be the easier subject among them. Because it is the first subject, everyone has the most thorough memorization of the answers. After all, a good start will also be beneficial to the rest of the exam.

If you are frustrated here, to be honest, the remaining subjects will be even more of a tough battle.

"If no one fails this exam or the final exam in July, I will take everyone on vacation during the summer vacation."

Sae Chabashira's sudden opening attracted the attention of the whole class. Whether they were boys or girls, they were all quickly attracted by a certain word.

"Vacation?"

"Yes, if everyone can pass, the sea and the resort island are waiting for you. Just treat it as a dream life in the future and work hard."

It has to be said that for this group of energetic teenage boys in Class D, even the swimming lessons in the class can keep them excited all night, not to mention the beach vacation. In their minds, the summer beach has almost become the same as the girls' swimsuits and swimsuits. The posture was equal, and when I thought of this, it seemed that the midterm exam that was going to be held later was not so scary.

After handing out the test papers, the person who came in to invigilate the exam instead of Sae Chabashira was the class teacher of Class A, Mamoru. This teacher who looked very strong actually taught English. The midterm exams of Tokyo Advanced Education Middle School use various In the mixed invigilation model with class instructors, the person in charge of Class D is Class A.

The moment she got the test paper, Horikita Suzune discovered something was wrong with the question. The answer she got from Kitagawa Ryo was indeed very similar to this test question, but the details of many questions had completely changed, such as the fourth question. The year in the answer is 1921, but the answer given by Kitagawa Ryo says 1920. I only changed such details, but the final result is completely different.

Although the answers are not changed for every question, and about 60% of the questions are still correct, this confuses many middle-level students. They were originally somewhat confident in their own answers, but in the end they still endured it. They can't help but copy the answers they have memorized, and their preconceptions and misunderstandings have led many people into trouble. Top students like Horikita Suzune can still find problems based on the basics, but more students in Class D only have a slight feeling. When something is wrong, I think about it and decide between the answers in my mind.

What's even worse is that Haruki Yamauchi and Kanji Ike don't even seem to see anything wrong with the question at this moment. They copy the answers in their minds directly to the test paper without even looking at it. Go, Horikita Suzune was about to say something:

"Answer..."

Unfortunately, the person standing on the podium of Class D was none other than the first-year class teacher of Class A, who was famous for his strictness. He didn't care about the life or death of Class D, so he scolded Horikita Suzune's little behavior without politeness:

"This student, please be quiet! If you violate the rules of the examination room again, I have the right to disqualify you from the examination now."

Looking at Haruki Yamauchi and Kanji Ike who were still answering the questions frantically without realizing it, Suzune Horikita couldn't help but feel dizzy and almost fainted, gritting her teeth and answering the questions with the momentum of almost breaking the tip of her pen:

"Bei, Sichuan, Liang."

I don't know if she owed this person in her previous life, but it seemed that as long as she met him, Horikita Suzune was always at a disadvantage. This feeling of being plotted and being clever suddenly destroyed all of Horikita Suzune's usual pride.

At this moment, Horikita Suzune finally realized the most basic problem, that is, the deal between her and Kitagawa Ryo was only verbally concluded, and no paper contract was signed at all. In other words, the other party had no intention of transferring the real deal from the beginning. Leave the answer to yourself.

Maybe Kitagawa Ryo just threw out this fake answer with a casual mentality at the beginning. After all, the current D class is no threat to Class C. There is no need to go to all the trouble to target it. If you can be more decisive at that time He directly rejected this answer and focused on taking Class D to review it carefully...

It's a pity that the greed and preconceptions of cleverness caused by the desire for quick success and quick success allowed Horikita Suzune to push the entire D class one step further to the brink of collapse.

"The answer...don't copy it."

"is fake."

After the first exam, Haruki Yamauchi and Kanji Ike, who had already begun to play with their mobile phones leisurely, heard this bolt from the blue.

"What?"

"Didn't Horikita-san swear that the answer was absolutely correct yesterday?"

"Actually, I noticed just now that many of the answers and questions don't match."

"Ah, I thought I didn't understand the question at the time, so I guessed the answer without even thinking about it."

"I just feel like the answer is wrong. Maybe if Horikita doesn't give me the answer, my test score will be higher."

Class D fell into chaos almost instantly. Horikita Suzune even heard several speeches that had already cast off the blame in advance, but at this point she could only force herself to speak:

"There is still a chance for a comeback. The standard for failing a school is based on the average score of each class."

"As long as you study well and control your scores appropriately, you can bring down the average score in the class."

"Everyone has studied hard on weekdays... I should be able to let Yamauchi and Ike pass without a hitch."

"It's my responsibility...I'm sorry."

It's hard for Horikita Suzune to come up with this impossible solution. In fact, she had deliberately left out several big questions in the social exam just now, but most of the students in Class D barely passed the exam, leaving them to control. It is unrealistic to score points. At this point, she can only hope that the top students in the class can lower their scores, because whether it is the answers or the test range, in fact, it will have the least impact on these people.

"I will try my best to control the points and won't let Chi and the others be expelled."

Hirata Yosuke was the first to respond. Kushida Kikyo also realized the crisis of the situation and quickly stood up and said that he would deliberately leave a few questions blank. If it were before, after the most popular boys and girls in Class D all stood up, he got should have responded more eagerly, but now Class D seemed to have fallen into a dead silence, making both Hirata Yosuke and Kushida Kikyo slightly embarrassed.

"I reject."

Yukimura, who was originally dissatisfied with his stay in Class D, adjusted his glasses:

"I heard that this exam will reward top students. Why should I give up the points I deserve for these useless people."

Since the beginning of May, there have been rumors in the first grade that the school will award individual points or even class points to the winners of the midterm exam. To be honest, many students in Class D who are relatively good at studying have been looking forward to this reward for a long time. After all, when the class points are zero, many people are still burdened with debts to Class C. If there is no other way to earn points, they may be dropped out of school.

Therefore, even after Horikita Suzune proposed this solution and Hirata Yosuke and Kushida Kikyo responded, it would be difficult for these top students who had prepared carefully for a long time to give up their high scores easily.

Rather, Yukimura's thoughts are the true thoughts of most Class D students.

"After all, it's been like this since the beginning of school. Even though I haven't made any mistakes, I still have to be in this class..."

A small murmur came from somewhere.

"Asshole! If you want me to drop out of school, then you won't have it easy either!"

Haruki Yamauchi, who had a rift with Yukimura, wanted to rush up and punch him, but was stopped by other boys, and the entire D class was in chaos again.

Horikita Suzune, Hirata Yosuke seemed to want to give some more advice, but unfortunately the weather didn't go as planned. As the next exam bell rang, the students in Class D could only sit back in their seats obediently. After all, people exist. It's just a matter of chance. No one wants to drop out of school before the real verdict is handed down.

In this desperate and suffocating atmosphere, the midterm exam of first-year Class D came to an end.

In class the next day, Horikita Suzune stared at the report card on the blackboard. She didn't care at all that her dismal scores in each subject were only over 50 points. She just watched Sae Chabashira use a red pen to draw the words representing The red line of death:

"The average score of this midterm exam is already very low, and the passing mark is only 30.5 points, but there are still five people who failed."

Chabashira Sae sighed and said:

"Takeru Sudo, one point missing."

"Yamuchi Haruki, eight points short."

"Chi Kuanzhi, ten points worse."

"Inokashira heart, five points away."

"Ryotaro, I'm four points short."

"Now go back and pack your bags, and I will take you to go through the withdrawal procedures."

Chabashira Sae spoke coldly:

"You have been expelled from school."

The five people named by Chabashira Sae happened to be at the bottom of the first quiz at the beginning of the school year. Originally, Sato Maya and Sakura Airi were also members of the dangerous group, but with the help of Karuizawa Megumi, they also successfully passed the line. .

Although the hearts of the students in Class D were instantly clenched when Chabashira Sae read his name, they all breathed a sigh of relief after not hearing their own names. Except for these few who are usually not serious and often procrastinate in study meetings. Except for the poor students, in fact, most of the students in Class D still improvised for more than half a month in the face of the pressure to drop out.

Not all the answers given by Kitagawa Ryo have been revised. If you have good judgment and don't blindly believe in the answers, there will be no problem with a low score passing the passing line.

After Chi Kuanzhi heard his name, he lost the liveliness that used to be on his face. He seemed to fall down all of a sudden, stood up staggeringly and confirmed:

"No, that's not possible, Sae-chan, no, there's no make-up exam or anything like that?"

On the other side, Haruki Yamauchi was also crying with his arms crossed. A day ago, he could still talk nonsense like no one else:

"How is it possible? How could I fail? Why should I drop out of school if I fail?"

Inokashira Kokoro and Hondo Ryotaro also looked like they couldn't believe it. They just looked at Chabashira Sae hopefully, hoping to get some room for turning from her mouth.

"Teacher, is there really no other way?"

Yosuke Hirata didn't want to see the fact of dropping out of school happening before his eyes. He struggled and asked that he had done what he could, pushing every subject to the limit. Even in the last subject of English, he was just below the passing line. Three points higher.

In other words, without the efforts of Yosuke Hirata, Suzune Horikita and others, the passing line for Class D would have been at least a little higher, and even the number of dropouts would have risen to double digits.

"Since it's you, Horikita, who caused the trouble, then it's up to you to solve it!"

Yamauchi Haruki suddenly became violent and threw all the responsibilities onto Horikita Suzune. He seemed to have some energy and kept yelling:

"If you hadn't been plotted by Class C, how could I have copied that fake answer? Without that fake answer, I would have passed the exam long ago!"

"It's all your responsibility!"

His words seemed to have suddenly found an outlet for the other three students who dropped out of school. Horikita Suzune became the target of public criticism. Even Hirata Yosuke cast a disappointed look at her with a complicated expression. Hirata Yosuke He is very clear about his position. He is a deputy. If there is someone in the class who can lead Class D forward, he will definitely provide support, but now it seems that Horikita Suzune does not have this ability.

"Personal points can buy everything in this school."

Kitagawa Ryo's words echoed in Horikita Suzune's mind for a moment, and she quickly asked Chabashira Sae:

"Teacher, can I use my personal points to buy the points they lack?"

"When the school started, the teacher said that personal points can buy everything in this school, so test scores should also be included."

When she said these words, Horikita Suzune always had the illusion that she had stepped into a trap again, as if all her actions since the midterm exam were planned by someone, just like a string. Being controlled like a puppet.

Sure enough, after Horikita Suzune's words fell, the entire D class did not get excited. Most of the students just lowered their heads and did not speak. Even Hirata Yosuke and Kushida Kikyo fell into rare silence. Chabashira Sae He leisurely said:

"You can indeed buy points, but one point costs one hundred thousand."

"Can you afford it?"
