Preparation For Paper Shuffle

After the announcement of the new student council president, the atmosphere around Ryou and his friends are not really good. The new appearance of dangerous individual is a new challenge for them.

It's clearly that in the future Nagumo will do something to them, since they're already marked by him. And of course Ryou is ready for this, but what concern him the most was his friends. His friends never know what will happen to them, even Ryou doesn't know what Nagumo will do, since he already changed the story.

Honami is not in a student council like in the story, of course Nagumo knew Ryou was the one who prevent her to accept his invitation.

Chie like her usual cheerful self announce the result of mid-term result.

'It's good to see her not in a hungover condition in the class.' Ryou thought.

Chie: "Now, I will announce the results of your mid-term exam. Before that, congratulation for Ryou-kun for your excellent achievement in the sports exam."

His classmates clapping their hand, congratulate him.

As he posted the result, we can see our class average score is increased again.

Chie: "This is thanks to your sports festival result, that event give you a good bonus points for this mid-term."

"Sensei, about Ryou-kun's result. Did he get 100 average? He was the MVP in the sports festival right?"

Chie: "That was supposed to be his average point, but he decide to refuse the bonus point for his mid-term exam score."

Murmurs were heard around the class.

"Why?"

Chie: "His average score was 98, so he told me not to add another bonus point on his score."

All of Ryou's classmates looking at him with envy and respect, 'This monster did it again.' they thought.

Chie: "Another achievement for our class since this mid-term average score is 85, good job my lovely students~" she said with happy smile on her face.

"Really?"

"We did a good job to be able increase our class average score."

"The sports festival really helpful afterall."

The strategy from Ryou to focus in the sports festival was to increase their class average score in mid-term since his class points already high and he knew his friends personal points are pretty high too.

Ringo: "Good job Ryou, as expected of our monster."

Ryou: "Yeah, and your score increased too."

Ringo: "Thanks to your group study."

Yeah, sometimes those 5 good friends did their own group study. They're not satisfied with their current score and never will, they want to reach higher afterall.

Honami turn her body and ask Ryou, "Why didn't you accept the points from the sports festival?"

Ryou: "I thinks it's enough to get 98 in average score, it would be scary if my average score is 100."

Honami: "I don't mind to get that score you know..."

Ryou: "Sho.. sho... back to your position, Chie-sensei still has another announcement!"

Pouting to Ryou, she turn back her body to focus on Chie.

Chie: "After living in this school for a few months, what do you think about this school?"

"A good school with lots of experience."

"We can get a huge monthly allowance and enjoy our school life."

She didn't respond them right away, waiting for another reply.

Chie: "What do you think Honami-chan?"

Honami: "I think this is a good school, I can get many friends and good allowance too, despite the fact we're forced to compete with each other, especially with other classes."

Chie: "You're not afraid about the fact you can be expelled any time? What do you think Ryou-kun?"

Ryou: "I agree with Honami. As long as we're working with a good teamwork as a class, i think we will be able to reach further than what we achieved now."

She nods at her students answer.

Chie: "As you guys already know,there will be an eight-subject quiz next week as part of the second semester's final exam. First of all, the quiz will have 100 questions for a total of 100 points, but the subject matter of the quizzes will be at the same level as what is expected of a third-year middle school student. That is to say, this quiz will serve as a means for us to confirm whether you remember your foundations or not. Moreover, like the mock exam from the first semester, these quizzes will not have any influence on your grades. Even if you score a 0 or a 100, it doesn't matter. It will be used solely to determine your current ability."

"Really sensei?"

Ryou: "I don't think it would be as simple as that."

Ryuji: "Yeah, there must be something behind that."

Chie: "However... Of course I'm going to tell you that this quiz is certainly not meaningless. Why? Because the results of this quiz will have a large influence over the upcoming final exam."

Ryou: "See?"

Fumino: "I knew it!"

Chie: "The school has stimulated that the results of this quiz will be used as a basis to pair you up with someone else in the class."

"Pair?"

"A pair in the exam?"

Chie: "Yess.... The pairing created from the quiz will share the same fate and challenge the final exams together. The exam will be worth 100 points for each of the 8 subjects, and each subject will have 50 questions, for an overall total of 400 questions. This time around, there will also be two ways to fail the exam. The first way is similar to what all of you have already experienced. All subjects will have a minimum standard of 60 points. If the final grade your pair gets on any one subject is under 60 points, then both members of the pair will drop out of school. This 60 point standard is the combined total of each of the two partners. Let's make an example, if Ryou and Ao are a pair, even if Ao gets a score of zero on one subject, as long as Ryou gets a 60 or more, neither of the two will be required to drop out."

"Whaa...?"

"Seriously?"
