One day, a heavy atmosphere hung in class.
Not that the atmosphere is negative, but rather tense.
The first to feel this is
class D Teacher, Chabashira Sae.
"Please Sit. You all seem to have prepared
everything is good. ”
As soon as he walked into the classroom, the atmosphere became heavier and it quickly grew cold.
Seeing the difference in the mood of the classroom when compared to a moment ago, Chabashira-sensei could not hide his astonishment.
“Everyone looks a little serious. You guys are not at all like students from Class D. ”
"Because today's announcement of midterm results, right?" Ike spoke, there was a slight nervous expression on his face. Chabashira-sensei replied
sneaky smile.
"really. You'll be expelled as soon as you don't pass your midterms or your final exams. I've said this before, so all of you should keep that in mind. It's only natural that you get nervous or upset, but none of you show any signs of it. I'm glad to see you all grow up. ”
Chabashira-sensei considers this a new, more confident attitude indeed commendable. However, we are only psychologically prepared, the test scores will not be as good as our diligence.
Chabashira-sensei deliberately said this to us, of course.
“Despite your confidence, the result of your failure, you will be expelled. Now, I'm going to split the results of the midterms this time. Make sure your name and values are not changed. ”
Precisely because this reprimand is serious, the teacher is actually warning us. If someone does not get their grades and create a riot, the school will not hesitate to use brute force with plenty of evidence from cameras installed in every classroom.
“Of course you can see all the test scores.”
"Yes, that's one of the rules in this school."
Apart from the willingness of students to understand their personal information displayed, the school also posts all the grades of students in Class D through the whiteboard. None of them are kept secret. The results are always told without any cover-up. Just like the salesman-owned performance tables are posted for the entire company, it ranks the highest ranked people up to the people
lowest rated.
At a time like this, those who had very good grades and were extremely ugly would be flashy people. Those left behind will feel quite tormented and subjected to bullying and humiliation
from their neighborhood.
“You can measure the average passing score for all subjects starting from 40 points or more. Those who do not meet this standard of value will be excluded. ”
The score limit to pass the exam is basically the same as the score limit used for the previous exam, but this situation is a little different.
“The values announced from now on will also reflect your results at the sports festival. Those who achieve high marks and perform various successes during the festival will potentially reach a score of 100.
In other words, this value will be considered as the maximum value. ”
Ten students who get the worst results during a sports festival should be deducted 10 points on their midterms. Class D Sotomura had the worst performance in the entire class, so she was one of those people who had to get a score 10 points higher than the other students needed.
Even so, disciples who did not receive punishment like Ike and Sudo still had very stiff expressions. A system in which dropouts are soon to be found just because one sign of failure
gives a heavy burden to all students both physically and mentally.
The students looked nervous looking at the test results that were slowly written on the blackboard.
However, my next-door neighbor, Horikita, was in no hurry to see the value.
“Whoa whoa whoa! It can't be!"
The result rankings start with the lowest value. In other words, Sudo, who appeared in the last position during the midterm and the final exam of the first semester was the guess of everyone who had been thought out for sure
appeared in the last position. However, the first name written was Haruki Yamauchi along with its value in various subjects.
Next was Ike Kanji, followed by Inogashira, Sato, and Sotomura. The placement of Sotomura is usually higher, but the lower ranking may result from the punishment given during a sports festival.
"What! Am I downstairs? Seriously?"
Luckily he scored more than 40 points in each subject. With the lowest 43 points in the English language, the average score is almost 50 points. Yamauchi was scared to death when he saw how close he was to the terms of value. He was sweating coldly on his face and neck.
To my surprise, it was Sudo's worth. To this day, he is consistently placed at the very bottom of the class. However, the exam this time, he rose by 12 levels. If considering the points he got from the sports festival, it was clear why it could be like that. Evidently from all the shocked expressions of our classmates. The average score is 57 points.
“I broke my personal record at once! See it? Almost 60 points! ”
As soon as Sudo received the result, he started shouting and stood up, dancing happily.
“Don't be too noisy just because of that value rating. You're doing better just because of the sports festival. If you ask me, this system is really problematic. ”
"Hm, yeah..."
Sudo calmly returned to his seat, looking desperate thanks to Horikita's harsh words.
He is like a loyal dog. Respond quickly to his master's orders and carry them out.
"Sudou even scored an average of 57 points... The study group seems to be working."
Even in his worst lesson, English, Sudo managed to score 52 points.
I heard Horikita taught Sudo and the others once again for the midterms. I wasn't invited to join in teaching them, but it was understandable. From the other students' point of view, I shouldn't look like a very intelligent individual. Moreover, Horikita herself was hesitant about my academic ability.
“The influence of the study group is indeed very large. If you are not prepared for the formal exam, you will fail. However, this time
the success may be due to other factors. The midterm exam itself consists of simpler questions, which are not too painful. ”
"Maybe it's right."
This midterm exam is, no doubt, a little easier than the usual exam. Although there are some questions that look misplaced. I really doubt that the school has made
wrongdoing. Because of this, the study group was in a pretty safe position after the exam ended, so it was clear that Horikita would not be anxious.
On the contrary, Yamauchi, who was in the last position, seemed incapable
hiding his unwillingness because he had lost to Sudou by a very large margin. Although Yamauchi and Sudo both accepted Horikita's teachings for the midterms, Sudo has studied
zealously with Horikita even during her holidays. The power of love is terrifying. Little by little, Sudo's academic ability began to improve.
“Your average 64 points. Very ordinary. It's time you produced something real. ” Horikita said
"I did my best." I answered like that.
Since I usually placed around 50 points, if I suddenly scored 100 points, I would be involved in a number of problems.
Just do it slowly and surely.
Having said that, it shouldn't be a problem for me to raise my grades higher the next time, given the jump Sudo made.
"I know you're playing sneaky here, it's impossible to listen and trust anything you say."
"I'm not sure if you've ever listened to me.”
"You're right."
And he honestly agreed with me...
“The number of people exiled due to this midterms is zero, as you can see. You all passed the exam without any problems. ”
Chabashira-sensei praised the disciples frankly. There is no need to criticize us. His attitude is very polite.
"of course! I look forward to personal points next month, Sensei! ” With elbows on the table, Sudo who is happy talking blak-blak
blakanese.
Chabashira-sensei let go of her attitude and ignored her, without much of a smile.
“Yes, despite the losses you have experienced during the sports festival, all of you are definitely looking forward to a number of personal points in November. In the three years since my arrival at this school, I've never seen Class D manage to maintain the integrity of the number of students, but you've done it. You must have done a very good job."
Chabashira-sensei praised us. To this day, he had never shown this kind of attitude in class. Because of this, many extremely hesitant disciples received the hidden intent of this rare situation.
"It feels awkward to be praised."
People who are rarely praised seem to be more embarrassed when they accept them.
Horikita, however, showed no signs of calm. It was true that no one had failed the exam, but Horikita knew that Chabashira-sensei was not the type to end the conversation
with compliments.
The more Chabashira-sensei let go of this gentle demeanor, the more frightening the situation became.
Her ponytail hair swayed gently as the sound of footsteps began to tick. Sensei walked over and slowly started passing between the rows of tables.
When Chabashira-sensei arrived at Ike's seat, he stopped and said:
“You passed the exam without any problems. I'll ask you again, what do you think of this school? I want to hear what you're saying. ”
“It... It's a good school. I can get a lot of pocket money if everything goes well. The food and everything was delicious and the room was nice. ”
"Then" he continued, counting with his fingers.
"There are games for sale, movies and karaoke, and cute girls..."
Just the last point that has nothing to do with that school
by oneself.
"Hm... Am I talking something wrong?"
Ike seemed to become even more stressed as he stood there in silence. He looked towards Chabashira-sensei as if asking
instructions on what to do next.
“No, from the point of view of a muird, this school is undoubtedly a great school. Even from my point of view as a teacher, I also feel that this school provides many unimaginable benefits to its students. Everything feels unreasonable ”
Sensei started moving again, passed the seat at the end of the row, and then reached to my side.
The atmosphere is like: where the teacher will appear and submit the sentence: Raise your hands.
Please don't stop at my desk. Fortunately, my wish came true when Chabashira-sensei stopped in front of Hirata's desk.
"Hirata, are you used to this school?"
"Yes. I have many friends and I live my school life very satisfactorily. ”
Hirata gave a powerful and reliable answer.
"You risk getting kicked out if you make one mistake, aren't you upset?"
"I'll finish this with the whole class."
Hirata, who was always thinking about her classmates, stood firm with her stance.
After circling the classroom, Chabashira-sensei returned to the front.
He seemed to be trying to confirm something, and I didn't quite understand what it was.
He may want to know more about the spirit and atmosphere of the class. What is it to see if we are able to handle
exams not yet coming?
“As you know, there will be a quiz of eight subjects next week as part of the second semester's final exam. I think some of you have already started studying for the exam, but I'll tell you again. ”
“Eh !? We just finished our midterms. Any other tests?"
The weather is getting cold, and students who are not good at learning will begin to experience an overcrowded schedule. There will be a barrage of exams in the near future and disciples will not be able to escape. In particular, the distance between the second semester examinations was too short.
"There's still one more week and I haven't heard anything about it!"Ike yelling.
But the teachers of every subject always tell us about this little upcoming quiz. I could do nothing but sigh at his ignorance.
“Say that you have never heard of it will not change
regardless, I want to tell you otherwise, but I can't. Whatever it is, don't worry too much, Ike-kun. ”
Chabashira-sensei smiled as if she was extending her help to the classroom. However, everyone knows; it is better not to think
that it was purely for the good.
“Really, sensei? You're making me worry." Chabashira-sensei turned her gaze away from Ike and continued:
“First of all, the quiz will include 100 questions for a total of 100 points, but the contents will be on the same level as third grade Junior High School students. That is, this quiz serves as a means for us to confirm whether you still remember the basics. In addition, like the first semester exams, this quiz will not affect your grades. Even if you get a zero or a 100, it doesn't matter. It will be used solely to determine your current abilities. ”
“Oh! This is a fake test! That's just amazing! ”
"However! I'll tell you first, the quiz results are certainly of no use. Wh why? That's because the results of this quiz will have a big impact on your next final exam. ”
Should I say that it's obviously a problem or something?
It has been a long time since the sports festival was over. The next project will start soon.
"impact? Please explain it in a way we can understand. ”
I understand why Sudo asked for an explanation, but there is no point in doing so. Chabashira-sensei deliberately provides such information with the intention of causing discomfort.
It's likely that he's put off explaining everything to us until the time comes.
“If only I could make you understand a little better, Sudo. The school has decided that the results of this quiz will be used as a basis for you to pair with others in the class. ”
"Pair?" Hirata questioned the least word he should have.
"really. Couples created from this quiz will be used to complete the final exam of the semester together. There will be eight final exam subjects, each with 50 questions, for a total of 400 questions. There are two ways to determine failure in the final exam of the semester. The first way is very similar to what you have all experienced. All subjects have a minimum standard of 60 points. If the final score you get on one lesson is below 60 points, then both members of the pair will be excluded. This 60-point limit is the combined value of both members. For example, if Ike and Hirata are a pair, even if Ike scores zero on one subject, as long as Hirata gets 60, neither of the two will be excluded. ”
T/N: 60 points is the result of each 30-point low. Because the pair members will be only two people, 30 + 30 \= 60 points. So, either way, one group should get 60 points.
A sound of shock leaked out from one of the disciples. It seems, as long as you get a reliable partner, this will be a fairly easy test.
However, what is the second way that determines the failure of the final semester exam?
Chabashira-sensei ignores the student's reaction and explains another way that determines the failure of the final exam.
