The moment the class exam rules were issued by the S-System, the first reaction of all students across the school was to rush back to their classes to discuss countermeasures with their class leaders.
Ichinose also hurried back to her class from the Student Council.
"I have an idea!"
The Idea King appears!
Shibata Saku drew a line with his index finger, and a lightbulb appeared on his head: "We can…"
"Ahem…" Before Shibata Saku could continue, Kanzaki coughed twice behind him.
Shibata Saku, interrupted by Kanzaki, thought the other person might just be feeling unwell, and was about to continue: "We…"
"Ahem…"
One interruption at a critical moment might be a coincidence, but two are very likely a problem. Shibata Saku felt that something was wrong: "Kanzaki-kun, if you are feeling unwell, should I take you to the infirmary?"
"No, no, Shibata-kun, you continue." Kanzaki said he was letting Shibata Saku continue, but the hand clenched into a fist and placed over his mouth did not come down.
Kanzaki felt a little helpless towards Shibata Saku.
He was such a smart person usually, but why was he missing a link in his brain at this moment?
Neither Ichinose nor Ren, the class leaders, had spoken yet, but you already had an idea.
The nice way to put it is that he puts the class's interests first; the harsher way is that he has the intention of usurping power.
Shibata Saku, realizing that his approach might be wrong, did not speak again.
The atmosphere in the class instantly became silent.
Ichinose knew Shibata Saku had good intentions and spoke to smooth things over for him: "Shibata-kun, may I ask what idea you came up with?"
After being given a way out by Ichinose, Shibata Saku did not speak immediately but looked at Kanzaki behind him for help.
Only after noticing Kanzaki's slight nod did Shibata Saku state the idea he had thought of again.
"I think we can directly confess our daily identities. If any student is the White Cat, we can just hand the White Cat over ourselves."
"The White Cat will always appear in our Class A on one of the seven days."
The personal points of the Class A students are relatively abundant, so there is no need to try hard to be greedy for the 500,000 individual points for hiding the White Cat.
As for the rule of halving class points after revealing the White Cat.
Halving is halving, but as long as the class points can be obtained by your own class, it is not a loss anyway.
There is also the most important point that Shibata Saku did not explicitly state.
This way, there is no need to worry about the class having a "traitor."
The human heart is difficult to see directly. Even in the current Class A, no one dares to guarantee that their classmates, knowing the White Cat's identity, will not reveal it to other classes.
Perhaps this is not the traitor's intention, but what if they are tricked by other classes and accidentally let it slip?
Shibata Saku's idea is indeed a very good one, stable and highly compatible with the current Class A.
After listening to Shibata Saku's idea, Ichinose fully agreed and began to ask for the opinions of everyone in the class: "What do you all think?"
"Shibata-kun's method is pretty good."
"I think so too."
As the representative class that chooses stability, everyone agrees with Shibata Saku's opinion.
There are only four classes in each grade, and the special exam lasts for seven days. No matter how bad the luck is, it should be their class's turn one day.
Noticing that Ichinose did not ask Ren for his thoughts at all, Kanzaki asked in a low voice: "Ichinose-san, shouldn't we ask Young Master Ren?"
Shaking her head at Kanzaki, Ichinose indicated there was no need to ask.
Except for the initial class assessment, Ren has not participated in any class assessment discussions since then, indicating that Ren has left all Class A decisions to her.
Ichinose also wanted to try to hand in a satisfactory answer sheet to Ren on her own.
The next step for Class A was simple: everyone gathered together and displayed the identity information they had received on their phones.
Black Cat...
Black Cat...
Black Cat...
Lady Luck did not favor Class A. The identities of everyone were, without exception, all Black Cats. Now only two people in the class had not yet displayed their identity information...
Everyone turned their heads towards Ren's direction. Ren was flipping through the light novel in his hand with one hand and scratching Airi's chin with the other.
Airi was like a kitten, slightly tilting her neck back, enjoying Ren's "cat petting" service.
Noticing that the class members were looking their way, Airi pulled out her phone to check her identity message.
Airi's identity was also a Black Cat.
Now, the only person whose identity information was not known in the class was Ren...
"Ren..."
"Ren-kun~"
The rest of the class found it difficult to speak, but Ichinose and Airi did not have this psychological pressure.
Turning the light novel to the next page, Ren said nonchalantly: "The phone is in my clothes pocket, take it yourself."
Airi took the phone out of Ren's clothes pocket and displayed Ren's identity information.
Ren,
Black Cat!
...
First Year Class B,
The method thought of by the conservative Katsuragi was similar to Shibata Saku's, also adopting a conservative strategy, but he encountered obstacles when he wanted the class members to reveal their identity information.
"Katsuragi-kun, if the White Cat never comes to Class B even once, wouldn't this strategy be considered directly defecting to the enemy?"
"Doing nothing and just waiting for good luck to come your way? Is that the attitude a leader should have?"
Hashimoto Masayoshi, prompted by Sakayanagi Arisu's eyes, began to accuse Katsuragi Kōhei.
When a person is unlucky, even drinking cold water can choke them.
Katsuragi Kōhei's strategy completely entrusts this class assessment to luck.
You can proactively reveal the White Cat, and of course, other classes can think of that too.
In that case, wouldn't this special assessment completely turn into a game of luck?
The radical faction, led by Sakayanagi Arisu, could not accept Katsuragi Kōhei's strategy.
"What did you say? Hashimoto, if you're so capable, then you come up with a strategy." Totsuka Yahiko, Katsuragi Kōhei's number one admirer, stepped out from behind Katsuragi Kōhei.
"You radicals are always looking to suppress Katsuragi Boss, it's disgusting." After saying that, Totsuka Yahiko even pretended to spit at the ground.
Without being affected by Hashimoto Masayoshi at all, Katsuragi Kōhei looked at Sakayanagi Arisu: "Sakayanagi-san, do you have a better idea?"
Since Sakayanagi Arisu dared to let Hashimoto Masayoshi speak up against him, it meant that she had a better idea.
As long as it benefits Class B to win this assessment, Katsuragi Kōhei does not mind being criticized by Hashimoto Masayoshi a few times.
"Oh dear, oh dear, is Katsuragi-kun asking me for help?" Sakayanagi Arisu, like a cunning little fox, covered her mouth with her hand and smiled.
There are too many offensive methods that can be used in this special assessment. As the main offensive faction, Sakayanagi Arisu certainly would not miss this great opportunity.
She also wanted to try to use this opportunity to take down the entire Class B in one go.
Katsuragi Kōhei answered truthfully: "As long as it is beneficial to Class B."
Before Sakayanagi Arisu could press her advantage, the sound of a phone message rang out again in the classroom.
The message content was:
The second year's special assessment has concluded.
