COTE:Oreki Houtarou's Strength-Supreme Classroom

After rising early to gather points from Ryuuen, Oreki-san and the others also began preparations.

When they boarded the ship three days ago, they were instructed to bring personal toiletries and place them in a small bag.

And now, it was likely time to use them. So the three of them returned to their dormitories to tidy up.

Ten minutes later, all the first-year students gathered on the deck, standing according to their respective classes. However, due to limited space on the deck, students from Class A stood adjacent to them.

Students in each class were arranged in two rows by gender. In school, it was understood that strength came first, with Class A being the best and taking priority in everything.

So, were the students from Class D, with the lowest evaluation, standing next to me now? But, no one seemed dissatisfied since it was just an announcement for the entire grade.

Even the students from the Katsuragi faction, who had mocked the Class D students in the cafeteria that morning, didn't make a fuss.

After all, with so many students in Class D, it wasn't wise to offend an entire class.

And, were all the girls in Class D so cute? Each freshman class consisted of 40 students, 20 boys, and 20 girls.

While Class A had 20 girls, including the high-quality and super cute little Princess Sakayanagi, and even though Kamuro-san often wore a serious expression, she was also beautiful.

But, it was challenging to pick out standout individuals in Class A. However, in Class D, it was different.

No one could deny that some of the boys in Class D were very unattractive, but the girls were quite beautiful.

And there were a lot of beautiful girls. It seemed like Class D had an abundance of them.

What cute little angels with short blond hair!

What top-notch beauties with straight black hair and fox-like eyes!

And what about that good-looking female classmate with long blue hair and a mole?

And the super cute hottie with the golden single ponytail—hey, hey, hey!

The girls in Class D were so cute. It was no wonder they didn't like the students in Class D. The main reason was probably because these boys with such low quality got to be classmates with so many cute girls, which made them a little envious.

But maybe it was out of comparison or to make themselves more conspicuous, they wanted to prove they were different from the boys in Class D.

The students in Class A all stood up straight, displaying their magnanimity. Oreki-san stood in the boys' queue of Class A, but he didn't vie with Katsuragi-san for the front position, so he stood far away.

However, he also noticed that the boys in front of him and behind him seemed to be showing a very energetic look, as if suddenly excited.

He looked forward, and although she was standing relatively far back, he could still see Kushida Kikyo from this angle.

This time, probably noticing the familiar sight, the little angel with short blond hair standing at the front of Class D smiled cutely.

The effect was huge. "Wow..." "Kushida-san smiled at me—" "Heartbeat—" "No, she smiled at me." "Kushida-san is so cute, like a little angel—"

The boys in Class A became excited. Oreki, however, remained calm, focusing on the distance five meters in front of the students.

The teachers from the four classes gathered there simultaneously. Although they were all from the same school, it was the first time they officially saw the four teachers together. Everyone was familiar with the homeroom teacher of Class A, Mr. Mashima, who always appeared rational in a suit.

The class teacher of Class B had wavy hair, soft features, and quite a cute demeanor—Ms. Hoshinomiya Chie.

The teacher of Class C was a tall, thin man with an average appearance and wore glasses.

And the class teacher of Class D, Sae Chabashira, although she is a cold sister, always has a straight face and looks lifeless.

But now Teacher Mashima is standing alone in front, while Hoshinomiya Chie stays beside Chabashira and seems to have a good relationship, even linking arms with her.

The digital teacher on the board stood alone at the back. It can be seen from this one-sided relationship that Hoshinomiya Chie probably has a good relationship with Chabashira, like a friend or bestie.

However, what Oreki-san thought about was that the teacher in Class B gave him a feeling similar to Kushida Kikyo.

So, is this teacher, Hoshinomiya Chie from Class B, similar to Kushida-san? She knew she was cute, so she found a teacher like Chabashira, who always had a straight face, as the background, which made her look even cuter.

Of course, thinking about the teacher of Class B in this way might be a bit much.

Then Oreki-san concentrated his attention. Teacher Mashima, the homeroom teacher of Class A, took a loudspeaker and began to announce the exam rules. "Then from now on, the first special examination of this month will be held. The time is a full week from now, on June 16th, to noon on June 22nd. You are going to live together on this uninhabited island for a week. This special examination is based on the qualities you will possess when you join a company in the future. Cultivate and develop your ability to work together. That is to say, during this week, you are not allowed to board the ship, and you have to stay on the island. Whether it's a campsite to stay in or the food or other resources you need for life, you need to find it yourself. As a basic configuration, each class will be assigned two camping tents, two flashlights, and a box of matches at the beginning of the exam. There will also be an unlimited supply of sunscreen. As a special case, girls' menstrual products can also be provided unlimitedly. If necessary, you can apply to your class teacher..."

Teacher Mashima calmly announced the rules. But before the announcement of such rules was over, the people below immediately exploded.

"Take an exam!"

"It's not a school trip but an exam!"

"Liar!"

"Besides, I don't want to live a hard life on a small island—I want to stay on the ship! Can we abstain from leaving?"

Such voices came from most of Class D and a small portion of Class B, creating a stark contrast.

Class C and Class A were not too surprised. For the students in Class C and Class A, Ryuuen had already bought the news about their seniors and informed the students in the class.

As for Class A, there was news about Katsuragi-san and the contribution of the Sakanyanagi faction, etc.

So the students in both classes knew very well that the enjoyment on the luxury liner this time was not really enjoyment.

Instead, they came to take this month's special exam. Therefore, students in both classes were basically ready to take exams at any time.

It's just that the school allowed them to spend three days enjoying themselves on the ship before taking the exam, which made people feel that the school was quite benevolent.

And now, is it about to start? Take an exam!

...

"Quiet, everyone!"

And Mashima-sensei turned up the volume. Only then did everyone realize that the rules were not finished yet.

Then, new rules were quickly acquired. It makes no sense to just unilaterally test whether students can adapt to the wild like Bear Grills, so the school added some things.

Each class is given a base score of 300 points. Students can use these 300 basic points to purchase daily necessities.

The items that can be purchased will be distributed in each class in a booklet with detailed introductions.

As long as there are items in the brochure, the school will provide them. So it's equivalent to giving materials for free. Wouldn't it be better to just give them materials?

However, this basic score is actually pretty good because these 300 basic points will be settled after the exam, and 1 point is equivalent to 1 class evaluation score.

In other words, if the students' wild survival ability is so good this week that not a single score is spent, then after the exam is over, all 300 points can be included in the class evaluation score, which means that everyone can get more next month.

300 X 100 = 30,000 points, which is 30,000 points. Everyone endured hardship together, and then received 30,000 yuan in living expenses. Is this attractive?

The students in Class D almost jumped up after hearing the rules.

"Then I'm going to announce the point deduction rules,"

Teacher Mashima held the loudspeaker. So the points deduction items were announced.

Points will be deducted for those who are physically unwell or seriously injured, who obviously pollute the environment, who are violent towards other classes, or who vandalize public property.

Then every day at 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., we return to the gathering point on the island for roll call, and 3 points will be deducted for each person who is absent.

Among them, this is a compulsory exam for all grades. Once a student is unwell or abstains, 30 points will be directly deducted.

To get these 300 basic points, not only does it take a week, but there are also a lot of deduction points.

As a result, the students in Class D suddenly withered. And when Teacher Mashima read out that students who feel unwell will be deducted 30 points, a super-beautiful top girl in the girl team of Class D seemed to look back at him.

Horikita Suzune glanced at him. Then there was a feeling of relief.

Because she still felt unwell yesterday, but after she came out to see him, the unwell feeling disappeared.

After returning to the dormitory, there was no sign of illness at all.

I didn't feel sick when I woke up in the morning.

So you can take this exam now. However, the straight girl Horikita-san probably doesn't know that this is his credit.

In other words, it was indeed done well. If Horikita Suzune is allowed to take this kind of exam while she's sick, no matter it's her own experience or the inconsiderate classmates around her, it will be very difficult for her.

And according to his understanding, even though she is in Class D, she will not give up easily.

In other words, this kind of exam must be torture for Horikita Suzune. But now, this worry is gone.

Incredibly, Oreki found that he actually felt reassured that he had protected his wife. So it's very strange. Will he really marry lawyer Horikita in the future?...

And Class A is here. When Mr. Mashima read out that 30 points would be deducted for absence, everyone knows that if little Princess Sakayanagi didn't come, it would basically mean she gave up, so the basic score of Class A was reduced by 30 points.

In other words, Class A is already 30 points behind other classes before the game even starts.

Almost instantly, the students in Class A looked back. Oreki-san suddenly caught the eyes of his classmates.

But Katsuragi-san, do you want to come here? Um. Oreki-san understands.

Katsuragi-san was very concerned about this exam, and at the same time, he also knew that Oreki's score was very high. At the same time, Katsuragi wanted to invite him to observe the island together in the morning.

But, Kouenji from Class D had already sneaked into the island to find out the information about the island. So, Katsuragi-san feels unstable now.

Teacher Mashima seemed to have stopped abruptly in the process of announcing the rules. But he also brought up interesting things.

That is, "Then there's the extra-point rule." "The rules for extra points will be relayed to you by your class teacher."

"We'll disembark in 15 minutes."

"Finally, I will wait for you here at noon on the 22nd and announce the test results!"

Mr. Mashima announced the disbandment. And this rhetoric seems to indicate that the next rules are either more troublesome, or the extra point rules are not suitable for the four classes to be announced together.

Really. After Mr. Mashima announced this, students from the four classes were originally crowded here on the deck, but their respective teachers handled the situation.
