"The third place in the special exam goes to Class C, with 149 points. The score breakdown is 44 points for stronghold points, 105 points for correctly identifying Class B's infiltrator and receiving Class B's remaining points. They also correctly identified Class A's infiltrator, but since Class D's exam points were zero, no additional points were received."
After Teacher Mashima finished speaking, he glanced at Class C and saw that each of them looked pleasantly surprised, which relieved him. He now only wanted to follow the procedure and quickly finish announcing the exam results.
"The breakdown of Class C's stronghold points is as follows: Class C's stronghold combined with Class A's stronghold, totaling eight strongholds, were checked in five times each, earning 40 points. Class B's four strongholds were checked in once, earning 4 points, for a total of 44 points."
Ever since Class C's check-in records were cleared by someone unknown, Albert was unable to check in because his key card hadn't been updated. After Amane helped him update it, Albert occupied both Class C's and Class A's strongholds, rushing to check in. However, due to limited time, he could only check in five times at most for each, but this score was already sufficient to complete the task.
"The second place in the special exam goes to: Class A, with 205 points. The score breakdown is correctly identifying Class B's key card holder and infiltrator, receiving 50 points and Class B's remaining exam points of 105 points, respectively. Plus, correctly identifying Class C's key card holder earned 50 points. They also correctly identified Class D's infiltrator, but since Class D's exam points were zero, no additional points were received."
Teacher Mashima's words surprised all the classes.
After a long pause, Horikita Suzune finally raised her hand.
"Do you have any questions, Classmate?"
Teacher Mashima's eyelid involuntarily twitched when he saw someone raise their hand.
"Teacher Mashima, I'd like to ask, isn't correctly identifying an infiltrator supposed to grant all the remaining exam points of the class whose infiltrator was identified? Why is it that after Class C received points, Class A could still receive them? Generally speaking, in such a situation, shouldn't the points be divided equally?"
Horikita's question was quite normal, so Teacher Mashima took out the handbook.
"According to the rules in the handbook, the class whose infiltrator is identified will have all their remaining points obtained by the other party. At this time, Class B's remaining points are 105 points, and all classes that correctly identified them should receive 105 points. If it were divided equally, it wouldn't meet the 'all' requirement. And Class B needs to have all its remaining exam points deducted. Can you understand this explanation?"
After listening to Teacher Mashima's explanation, Horikita nodded.
According to Teacher Mashima, it meant that from the moment the exam ended, Class B's remaining exam points were fixed at 105 points.
Anyone who correctly identified them would receive this number as a reward.
This way, classes A and C certainly gained a huge advantage.
Just as Teacher Mashima was about to continue the announcement, Katsuragi, who had been silent, raised his hand again.
"Katsuragi, do you have something to say?"
"I am very happy with Class A's results, but... I don't remember filling in the names of the classes you announced, Teacher Mashima, on my list."
Katsuragi hesitated for a long time before finally speaking out.
"Katsuragi, what are you doing? If you didn't write it, you didn't write it, why say it out loud! That's over two hundred points!"
Totsuka grabbed Katsuragi and questioned him anxiously.
"I understand what you mean, but I... cannot accept unfair treatment. I hope, Teacher Mashima, that you did not show favoritism towards us."
Katsuragi's stern gaze met Teacher Mashima's.
Katsuragi's question immediately caused a huge uproar.
Everyone knew that Teacher Mashima was Class A's homeroom teacher.
They wouldn't believe it even if they were beaten to death if someone said he wouldn't show any favoritism towards Class A. But this time, Katsuragi actually stood up to question it, immediately pushing this relationship into the public eye.
Teacher Mashima nodded with satisfaction.
"Katsuragi, you can rest assured, I absolutely did not show favoritism towards you. Because the list I received was given to me by Class A's key card holder and infiltrator. I believe it also has reference value. After comparison, we believe that the list submitted by the key card holder has higher priority than yours, Katsuragi, who was forcibly withdrawn and lost your special status. That's why we used the other list."
Teacher Mashima's words, instead, left Katsuragi somewhat confused.
"You mean my status has been revoked?"
"That's right. The moment you boarded the ship to leave, your status would be randomly assigned to another classmate in the class who had not yet withdrawn from the exam. At that time, Sakayanagi Arisu had not yet boarded the ship for Class A, so Sakayanagi Arisu inherited all special statuses. After inheriting the status and then being informed of withdrawing from the exam with no other candidates for the status, her status would be retained."
Only then did Katsuragi understand why other classes rarely claimed to have identified Class A's leader. But what he couldn't understand was how Sakayanagi managed to avoid leaving the island.
"Thank you for your explanation, Teacher Mashima. I have no further questions."
Seeing this, Teacher Mashima began to announce the results of the last class.
"First place goes to First Year Class D, with 349 points. The points are composed of 94 base points, specifically 90 points from 15 check-ins at Class D's base, 4 points from one check-in at Class C's base, 50 points for correctly guessing Class C's key card holder and infiltrator, a total of 155 points for correctly guessing Class B's key card holder and infiltrator, and 50 points for correctly guessing Class A's key card holder and infiltrator."
"Class D correctly identified all special roles except their own, making them truly deserving of first place."
