~Tears of Unreciprocated Love?

“Remember, the upcoming exams will be pivotal for your advancement,” she declared, eyes sharp as she scanned the room.

Chabashira's voice echoed through the rows of students, punctuating the silence with sharp reminders of the stakes ahead.

The murmur of whispered conversations filled the room as students processed the information, some scribbling notes while others exchanged glances of concern.

"It's the special exam The Survival and Elimination exam".

"Elimination", some students squeal in fear, thinking about expulsion.

"Well, it's not fully expulsion, but expulsion is there".

Chabashira continued, “In the exam you have to perform a task given by another class, the tasks will be chosen from categories that they'll select from. Each class will choose one category for the other class to perform, and the other class will face task from those categories in each round.”

The students listened intently, their curiosity piqued.

“To clarify,” Chabashira said, “you’ll have to both attack and defend. When your class is on the attack, you’ll set a task for the defending class to complete. The defending class must then tackle the task you set. Your score increases based on how well you complete tasks, not on how well you set them.”

“Are there any questions?” Chabashira asked, glancing at the crowd.

One student raised a hand, “What if we’re unsure about the categories, sensei?”

Chabashira noted, “Each class will receive a detailed description of the categories and tasks beforehand and has to choose 3 out of Those 16 choices in a particular category. Make sure to prepare well and strategize with your team. Remember, the more tasks you complete, the higher your score.  This exam will not only test your skills but also your ability to strategize and perform under pressure.”

The students listened attentively, their focus intense.

“The exam tasks will follow a rotation system. If Class A is the attacking team, they’ll set a task for Class B to complete. Then, Class B will attack Class C, and so on. This rotation occurs twice: first 10 rounds are clockwise, then next 10 will be counterclockwise in which If A class start first then it will directly attack D class, Class D will attack C and so on, totaling 20 tasks. There will be a break after the first 10 tasks.

In simple way if we say points are earned by successfully defending tasks, not by attacking them. The better you perform in defending, the more points you earn.”

Chabashira paused, observing the students’ reactions. Some looked puzzled.

One student  hesitantly asked, “What about the categories, sensei? What will they be based on?”

“There are several categories beyond your regular subjects,” Chabashira explained. “These include languages, daily life skills, culture, and general knowledge. Each category has tasks of varying difficulty. The first level will be average, and the next two levels will be progressively harder.

Ike tried to interrupt, but Chabashira gave him a sharp look. “Difficulty levels can only be adjusted by spending points,” she reiterated. “It’s not a random choice.”

Ike looked embarrassed while Sudo quietly mocked him, “Such dumb you are, Ike.”

Chabashira continued, “The class that is attacking will-

Sudo interrupted bluntly, “How many students will perform the task, sensei?”

“If you would let me finish explaining and keep quiet, I might get to that,” Chabashira said sharply.
