Oreki Houtarou's Power-First Classroom

Class C: Unknown.

Class D: Miyake Akito, Karuizawa Megumi, Sotomura Hideo, Yukimura Teruhiko.

"Ichinose is inside—"

Seeing this name, Kamuro-san murmured.

Ichinose classmate.

When they were at school, it seemed that Yusu Sakayanagi had arranged for Oreki to keep an eye on him because he wanted to meet with the representative of Class B.

Then, during the Kojima exam this time, I also came into contact with it personally.

It is a unique existence that makes people feel distressed.

And now, I met Ichinose again——

Also took the exam in the same room as Oreki Houtaro.

"..."

Oreki knew that Kamuro-san, who had become obedient, also took on the task of Sakayanagi-san to find out about his relationship.

but.

Is it Ichinose that Kamuro-san cares about now?

It's a pity however.

What Oreki was thinking about was that the cutest girl from Class D, Karuizawa Megumi, was also there.

She is full of affection for him.

And this is what made Oreki-san most at a loss.

Think so.

06: 30.

The preferred test begins.

Chapter 082: This time it’s Karuizawa’s occasion! Am I not good enough?

At 25:5 in the evening, Oreki-san came to room 204 [-] minutes early according to the instructions received by the mobile phone.

But he's not alone.

Takemoto Shigeru and Machida Koji also took part in this exam.

They are all members of the Katsuragi faction.

Takemoto-san is slightly fat, while Machida-san is thin and tall, 5 cm taller than Oreki-san.

However, from the information collected by Ichinose and Kushida, it is known that this is also an exam for all members.

The number of students from different classes entering the same room is different, some have 3 students, some have 4 students.There are only 4 people at most.

At 6:30, the only people who need to enter room 204 are the three of them.

"Ding-dong-"

As a student in Class A, Takemoto immediately rang the doorbell before arriving at the examination room.

And Takemoto-san here is the one who borrowed an umbrella from Oreki when he found out from Kamuro that Ichinose was getting wet in the rain on the island.

"Please come in—"

A slightly thick but full-bodied sound.

This voice is very familiar to the students in Class A, because it is the voice of the homeroom teacher, Mr. Mashima.

Students in Class A correspond to the class teacher of Class A.

Takemoto-san and Machida-san looked at each other, and then they both looked at Oreki.

Oreki-san then chose to push open the door and enter.

The layout inside came into view at once.

The size of the room is okay, about 30 square meters.

You can see a lot of folding chairs placed on one side, but not all of them are spread out. There are only five chairs. One of them is occupied by Mr. Majima in a suit, and the others are all empty.

From the information of each class that Ichinose, Kamuro, and Kushida specially combined, we can know that the only people who came to this room to take the exam at this time were three students from their Class A.

As a result, Mashima-sensei prepared four chairs.

As for Oreki and the others, there were only three of them.

Mr. Majima is the head teacher of Class A and is a very strict person.

There is a kind of Katsuragi-san's appearance when he grows up, and he doesn't like to do unnecessary things.

So it is probably a chair for 4 students from other classes later on.

In other words.

it is as expected.

The same room needs to be notified many times.

In other words, multiple notifications are made after all the students are grouped.

And this needs attention.

Notifications will be made in groups of at least 3 and up to 4 people.

Don't you think it takes too much time to explain such a batch test?

And Oreki-san noticed that Mashima-sensei was just holding a stack of materials. He didn't have a pen in his hand, and there were no pens for students to use in the room, so it wasn't the meaning of the written test.

Is this an exam only for the three students in their Class A?

"Sit in your seat first." Mashima-sensei said.

And Oreki-san took out his mobile phone, selected the head teacher's number from the address book, and dialed it.

"Dudu, the phone you dialed has been turned off—"

The prompt is the sound of the other party shutting down.

"To prepare for the exam, you need to put your phone in vibration mode or turn it off."

"Photography is prohibited in this exam," Mashima-sensei said.

"Sorry." Oreki-san said so, and chose to change the phone to vibrate mode.

And soon, a message was received on the vibration of the phone.

[Teacher Chabashira's phone can't be reached, and the phone is turned off. ] by Horikita Suzune.

This is a message from Horikita-san.

In fact, Oreki already knew the result.

Similar to Mashima-sensei, the current Chabashira-sensei cannot get through on the phone, probably because he is doing the same job as Mashima-sensei.

In order to avoid interference, all mobile phones were turned off.

It shows that for this exam, the teachers are indeed preparing for the assessment of several students who have worked tirelessly.

Is it so complicated?

Oreki-san has preconceptions.

After watching the students sit down, Mashima-sensei checked the time.

At 6:30, I distributed the stack of materials in my hand to them.

The teacher has 4 sheets of printed paper in his hand, and after distributing 3 copies, he put the last one aside.

"then--"

"This time it's a special exam."

"The school breaks up the whole first grade into twelve groups. We hold exams in those groups."

"Now the content of the grouping and the rules of the exam have been sent to you."

"And this time the test is aimed at testing thinking ability."

"So I won't say much."

Mashima-sensei said.

I won't say much, which means that students need to think for themselves.

Thinking ability, in other words, means the ability to think and think deeply.

And Oreki looked at the paper he took.

The first thing that catches the eye is the list information of the group members that are divided into groups.

Class A: Takemoto Shigeru, Machida Koji, Oreki Houtaro.

Class B: Ichinose Hobami, Hamaguchi Tetsuya, Beppu Ryota.

Class C: Ibuki Mio, Manabe Shiho, Yabuna Nami, Yamashita Saki.

Class D: Miyake Akito, Karuizawa Megumi, Sotomura Hideo, Yukimura Teruhiko.

It seems that people are drawn from each class, but the number is not 4 in each class, and some are only [-] students.

According to the probability of 160 people in the whole grade, they are divided into twelve groups with 13-14 people in each group.

The 12 groups are named according to the Chinese zodiac signs of rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig.

Among them, Oreki and the others belong to the rabbit group.

And he has actually collected this information except for the members of Class C.

but.

Touch the paper with your hands and you'll see it's double-sided.You can tell from the texture when you pick it up and touch it in your hand that there are actually words on both sides.

[This exam is based on the "preferential recipients" assigned to each group as a benchmark.
