Ayanokouji Kiyotaka nodded. From the moment the other party entered the room, all the muscles and nerves in his body were instantly tense. The keen intuition he had trained in the white room told him that Kitagawa Ryo's physical fitness had grown compared to before. Quite a few.
If the students in the white room scored 5 points, 10 points or even 20 points, then Ayanokouji Kiyotaka always scored 100 points. It had been a long time since he had felt such a dangerous feeling from his peers.
"Okay, okay, there are quite a lot of things to do today, and there is no time for you two to quarrel."
Chairman Sakayanagi clapped his hands. As the chairman, he knew very well that this would be the most special class since the establishment of Tokyo Advanced Education High School. Overtly and secretly, no one knew how many pairs of eyes were watching here through the surveillance cameras in the room. .
Some people expect Ayanokouji Kiyotaka to win as a bargaining chip for a comeback, while others need his failure to completely add insult to injury.
Perhaps considering too much interference from the outside world, the final stage was decided to be in the completely closed Tokyo High School.
"Ayanokouji-kun just mentioned the issue of class division. What do you think, Kitagawa-kun?"
"Before I express my opinion, I am more curious about the school's arrangements."
Kitagawa Ryo actually doesn't particularly care about which class he is assigned to. After all, the assignment will only affect the start. In the next three years, anything can happen. In the second simulation of Karuizawa Megumi, he also However, it only took a little more than one semester to bring Class C to Class B, and there was even a chance to be directly promoted to Class A in the preferential candidate examination.
If the contents of the special examinations in the first semester remained unchanged, Kitagawa Ryo would have an advantage in intelligence compared to himself in the simulation.
This was also the reason why he asked about the school's arrangements first.
"Where's Ayanokouji-kun?"
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka turned his attention to Tsukijo who was standing aside, and Tsukijo nodded towards him.
"Let's talk about your arrangements first."
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka didn't know to what extent Kitagawa Ryo knew the information about this school. Although Chairman Sakayanagi was on the same side as Kitagawa Ryo, he also believed that the other party would not be able to unscrupulously disclose all the rules about this school. Give way.
A valid match must be recognized by both parties.
Since I was sent here to fight the opponent, it means that the two of them are at the same level in terms of intelligence about this place.
If Kitagawa Ryo really got any information that undermined fairness, at least the owner of the white room behind him would not agree. Tsukijo came here for the purpose of supervision.
After receiving joint replies from Kitagawa Ryo and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, Chairman Sakayanagi nodded and said:
"The annual tradition of Tokyo Advanced Education High School is to conduct pre-investigation of junior high school students across the country based on certain standards, and only allow students who are judged to be "worthy of belonging to our school" to enroll. Interviews or entrance exams are just formal decorations. .
As long as you are a confirmed freshman, even if you mess around in the interview or score zero on the exam, you will eventually enroll. Although we accept applications from students from all over the country who wish to enroll, this is a formal test to screen out everyone. "
"Then, the school will arrange the students into four classes ABCD based on their overall strength. This involves the school's own considerations, so I won't go into details."
"So theoretically, there is a paper gap between the four classes ABCD."
"In fact, the fairest way is to put Kitagawa-kun and Ayanokouji-kun into the same class, and ultimately evaluate their performance and contribution to the class. However, this method is not intuitive and difficult to quantify."
"So the school's idea is to put you two into different classes. Whoever is in class A after three years will win. This is also in line with the consistent philosophy of Tokyo High School."
Chairman Sakayanagi took a sip of tea and observed the reactions of the two people.
Kitagawa Ryo still had the leisurely and contented look of an old god, while Ayanokouji Kiyotaka still had the same expressionless expression.
"I agree to be placed in a different class from Ayanokouji-san."
"I have no objection either."
After the two confirmed their first idea, Chairman Sakayanagi continued:
"But at this time, you will encounter the problem I mentioned earlier. There is a gap in the strength of the ABCD class, which means that the start of the two is not balanced."
"For example, if Kitagawa-kun is assigned to Class A and Ayanokouji-kun is assigned to Class D, even if Ayanokouji-kun won't be dissatisfied, your father will not recognize such a match."
"In response to this situation, the solution we gave was to give up."
Chairman Sakayanagi took out the black [King] and the white [King] from the chess board on the table and placed them in front of Kitagawa Ryo and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka respectively.
"There is not much difference in the strength of each piece in chess. Losing a pawn will tip the balance of victory to two to one."
"But in Chinese chess and Go, if there is indeed a strength gap between the two sides, the dominant side will choose to give up some of its pieces to try to ensure that the game does not go on one-sided."
"One horse, two horses, one chariot, one cannon."
"The chess pieces here are some of the freshmen in this class who are rated as outstanding talents in a certain aspect. In fact, just looking at the data, half of them are qualified to enter Class A directly."
Chairman Sakayanagi took out five kinds of chess pieces, namely pawn, rook, horse, bishop and one black and white, and placed them between the two of them.
He turned over one of the chess pieces and could see the words [Katsugi Kohei] engraved on the base.
"[Pawn], a pawn who diligently moves forward step by step, represents the academic ability of diligence and hard work. Katsuragi Kohei is the new student whose academic ability was judged to be A when he entered school."
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka seemed to be quite interested in this form of comparing people to chess pieces. He played with the [King] chess piece in his hand and asked:
"What are the specific handicap rules?"
"The initial chess pieces of both sides are five. Every time there is a shift, the upper position will give up the place of one chess piece to the lower position."
"For example, if Ayanokouji-kun chooses class B and Kitagawa-kun chooses class D, and there are two classes between the two sides, Kitagawa-kun will have priority to choose seven of the ten chess pieces, and Ayanokouji-kun will choose three."
"Of course, if both students give up a certain chess piece, he will still enter the original class according to normal standards."
Yuecheng suddenly smiled and admonished from the side:
"Let me add a few words. It is often not these chess pieces on the table that ultimately determine the quality of a class. If you blindly pursue high-end talents and go to the next class, you may need to be mentally prepared that other students are defective."
"And these chess pieces are all freshmen who only perform outstandingly in one aspect. After they actually enroll, their performance may exceed your expectations, or they may disappoint you, so it is more necessary for you two to make choices and judgments. ."
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka understood that this was the other person's reminder to him. Thinking of the advice he heard from that person in the morning, he spoke first:
"I choose Class A."
As expected, he still values the overall quality of the class more than individual talents.
The existence of a defective product may ruin the efforts of a class. A class with all defective products may not be effective no matter how many talents there are, because they may not be bothered to obey the other party's orders.
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka judged that Kitagawa Ryo might choose Class B, but the other party's answer was beyond his expectation.
"I choose Class D."
Kitagawa Liang rubbed the [King] chess piece in his hand. He didn't care about the surprised looks of the other three people.
This concession plan was provided by him to Chairman Sakayanagi from beginning to end, because Kitagawa Ryo knew Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's character and acting style very well.
No matter which class Ayanokouji Kiyotaka is assigned to, he will only regard the students in the class as tools to achieve final victory. With this kind of thinking, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka will definitely choose the most useful Class A students as his tool.
In the eyes of Tsukijo and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, it seemed like a blind box, and they didn't know what the ten chess pieces would be drawn out...
Kitagawa Ryo really knew them well.
----------------------------------------
"[Pawn], as mentioned before, represents academic ability. In the admission evaluation, the two freshmen with an A rating for academic ability are Katsuragi Yasuhei and Yukimura Teruhiko."
"All of them."
Kitagawa Ryo said, he stretched out his hand to take the black and white [Pawns] together, but quickly threw the two into the pile of chess pieces aside:
"Then I decided to let go of those two."
"This should be within the rules."
"After all, I didn't say you weren't allowed to choose and then give up."
"What's the reason?"
"I don't know these two people well. Academic ability is the least trustworthy of the five criteria. Maybe they are nerds who only know how to read, or maybe they are people with good academic performance but bad conduct?"
Kitagawa Ryo waved his hand casually:
"Let them fend for themselves."
Taking a sip of tea, Kitagawa Ryo quietly observed the expressions of Ayanokouji Kiyotaka and Tsukishiro. His performance just now was just a label for him that he did not understand these new students.
Seeing that Ayanokouji Kiyotaka and Tsukishiro had no objections, Chairman Sakayanagi nodded:
"All right."
"The next item is [Bishop]. The bishops guarding the king and queen represent the excellent judgment of the ministers. The two freshmen rated A are Horikita Suzune and Ryuuen Sho. "
"Horikita Suzune."
Kitagawa Ryo, who had priority in selecting, spoke first.
He was waiting to see if Ayanokouji Kiyotaka would use his only two opportunities on Ryūen Sho.
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka shook his head, indicating that he was not interested in this chess piece.
Excellent judgment means that the other party may have disagreements with him on the direction of the class, and it may even turn into a struggle for leadership. Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, who believes more in his own decision-making, does not need such a talent.
The chess piece representing Ryūen Sho was also thrown into the pile of chess pieces.
"Next is [Horse (Knight)]. The wild and unrestrained horse represents the interpersonal ability to interact with people. The two freshmen rated as A in this category are Ichinose Honami and Kushida. Platycodon."
"Ichinose Honami."
Kitagawa Ryo made his choice without hesitation.
"Kushida Kikyo."
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka also made his own choice. On the one hand, he considered that his interpersonal skills were not strong and he needed such a glue-like figure to lead the class. On the other hand, the selection of chess pieces had entered the third round. And Kitagawa Ryo only used the power of four selections. If he didn't take action, the last four might be rounded up by the opponent in one go.
Kitagawa Ryo collected his chess pieces calmly.
"The penultimate item is [Rook]. Rampage and fearlessness represent physical fitness and sports ability. The freshmen rated A are Sudo Ken and Yamada Albert."
"All of them."
Kitagawa Ryo already knew how to use Sudou Ken, and Yamada Albert was a former student of Class C. He also knew the opponent's character very well, so he chose to win them all.
"The last item is [Queen]. The most important chess piece besides the king represents one's intelligence level. The two freshmen rated A in intelligence are Koenji Rokusuke and Sakayanagi Arisu. ."
"Ayanokouji-san, do you want to make a deal?"
Kitagawa Ryo suddenly asked.
"What deal?"
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka turned around. He had already given up on this selection, because Kitagawa Ryo still held the right to choose two chess pieces. The opponent had no reason not to choose these two people at the same time. After all, they were rare [intellectual] talents. .
"I will give you the opportunity to choose in this round, and you will choose first."
"cost."
Kitagawa Ryo leaned his body against the soft sofa cushions and said lightly:
"Two classes, AD, exchange class tutors."
"Class teacher?"
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was stunned. He did not expect that the other party would make such a confusing request.
His impression of the class teacher was limited to the description in the book.
"Since there is a difference in strength between Class A and Class D, there should also be a gap in terms of class teachers."
Beichuan Liangtan started to explain:
"Furthermore, as a part of the class, the class teacher should also be included in the handover part and can be transferred or even exchanged."
"I have no opinion."
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka thought for a while. He had the same idea as his father. When the quality of the students is particularly excellent or particularly rubbish, the role of the class teacher will be reduced to the lowest point. At the expense of this, the class will be replaced by an intelligence department. Talent is an acceptable condition.
"Then Ayanokouji-san please invite me."
Kitagawa Ryo smiled and handed over the two chess pieces.
[Sakayanagi Arisu], or [Koenji Rokusuke].
Sakayanagi...aren't these the same surnames?
Although it is not ruled out that they just have the same surname, the chance is too small.
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka glanced at Chairman Sakayanagi who was still smiling, and after deliberation for a few times, he picked up the [Koenji Rokusuke].
It is impossible for him to swagger the enemy's pieces into his own camp.
Even if the other party is just sneaking in to stumble him, it is quite troublesome in the context of the evaluation of intelligence as A.
But now I can only pray that the new student named [Koenji Rokusuke] I got is a reliable existence.
A smart person should make decisions based on his assessment of the situation.
After Ayanokouji Kiyotaka made his choice, Kitagawa Ryo also took over the [Queen] with [Sakayanagi Arisu] engraved on it.
Judging from the distribution of the chess pieces on the surface, he may have the upper hand.
But Kitagawa Ryo is still very sober, and he knows that Ayanokouji Kiyotaka may also be hiding some of his trump cards.
