Chie-sensei Explanation

This was a shocking news to them, as long as you get a reliable partner, this will be a fairly easy test.

However, the second way to fail the final exam was the one that will be a key for them more.

Chie: "The new criteria that you'll have to overcome to avoid expulsion is a cumulative score requirement. Even if you get above 60 points in all eight subjects, if your cumulative score is below this second standard, both partners will be expelled. That's mean both of you still needs to get an acceptable average points."

But, a confidence looks are still on the students face. They knew whoever their pair in this class, as long as they work hard enough they will reach the criteria to pass this exam.

Chie: "I'll explain the borderline later. The final exam will be divided into two days, where you take four subjects each day. I'll let you know the order of the subjects later as well. In the event of an absence due to poor physical condition, the school will inquire about the legitimacy of the absence. If it is confirmed that the student had no other alternative, they will be given points based on rough estimates of their past exams. However, if the reason for the absence isn't satisfactory, the absentee tester will be given a score of zero for all tests they miss. That's mean a huge chance of expulsion. Cheaters will be immediately disqualified and expelled from school together with their partner. This is not limited to this examination, it also applies to all midterm and final examinations."

This is something new to them, a pair in the exam. This school is really different from the normal highschool.

Chie: "After I receive the results of the quiz, I will inform you about the decision method for the pairings."

'No matter whoever my pair, I knew we will be able to do it. And I knew our class will do just fine as well.' Ryou thought.

Chie: "And the school will ask you to consider this final exam from yet another perspective. First of all, you will be asked to brainstorm and write your own final exam questions. The questions you write will be the questions on the final of one of the other three classes. This is to say, you will have to launch an 'attack' against one of the other classes, and the class that intercepts this attack will have to 'defend'. The school will compare the overall grades on the finals between the two classes, and the class who wins will receive a total of 50 Class Points from the losing class."

In other words, in order for a pair to avoid failing, they have to score above a 60 in all subjects, as well as collectively exceed a total score of around 700 points. Furthermore, as a class, they have to achieve an overall score higher than the classes that they're competing against.

Honamo: "Chie-sensei, what if, a student was to make their questions impossible to answer, I think the test will end up being very difficult."

All of them looking toward Ryou's direction.

'Why me?'

Chie just laughed a little and shake her head looking at her students antic.

Chie: "Of course, it will certainly end up that way if it was all left up to the students. For this reason, the questions you create will be strictly and fairly checked by our teachers. If there are problems that fall beyond the scope of the material, or can not be answered with what is provided in the question, we will require that you amend it. Through a system of constant revision of unacceptable questions, we will ensure that everyone creates fair questions. It won't be anything like the situation you're concerned about."

They sigh in after hearing the explanation. Just imagine if Ryou going all out and make a very difficult question to answer, isn't that the same as making his opponent dropped out instantly?

There is about a month left until the exam begins. One person would have to make ten to fifteen questions a day. Although it should be said that they will need to be prepared even faster than that so they'll have time to make corrections when the school doesn't accept some of the questions.

Chie: "In the event that the questions and answers are not completed in time, relief measures will be implemented for you. Our own pre-made questions will be used after the deadline. However, please note that that difficulty of the questions prepared by the school will be lower."

Ringo: "That'a a huhe disadvantage for our class if we cannot finished the questions then?"

Chie: "Correct! That's why, I hope you guys can do it in time.When it comes to creating your questions, you are free to consult students in other classes and school years, utilize the internet, consult your teacher, or decide amongst yourselves. There are no particular limitations. As long as it is a question the school allows, difficult or easy, we do not care about the content."

Ryuji: "The final exam that we have to challenge, of course, will be one that another class will create for us, right?"

Chie: "That's rigjt. You're probably curious about how the class you're attacking is chosen, but the method for determining that is easy to understand. A student simply needs to nominate your desired class and I will report it to the school. If and when there's more than one nomination for the same class, the school will call upon a representative and you'll draw lots. In turn, if there is no overlap, your nomination is accepted and that's the class you'll be writing questions for. I'll hear your nomination the day before the quiz next week. You should think carefully about your decision until then."

After Chie finished her explanation, she walk out from the classroom and give them a time to discussing their next move.

Honami: "We need to discuss it with everyone."

Ryou: "Yeah, this is going to be a deciding exam for us after all."

Honami and Ryou the stand up and walking to the front of the class.

Honami: "Can we have you guys attention please?"

All of her classmates attention shifted to Honami.
