By those rules, it was easy to obtain high scores if classes collaborated, but
the school’s restrictions to prevent this from happening were more powerful than
expected.
This was also a rare opportunity to expel a specific student by making their
class lose.
It was hardly plausible that they would give up this once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity without something significant in return.
The only viable cooperative relationship could be an agreement not to
eliminate each other.
This method was fair to all classes and could also purchase safety.
However, setting aside Horikita and Ichinose, the possibility of such a
proposal getting through to Ryūen or Sakayanagi was low.
Furthermore, due to the attack and defense mechanisms, they inevitably
need to fight against two classes, and adhering to a no-elimination policy wouldn’t
be easy.
“In the event that there are multiple eliminations in the lowest-ranked class,
the class leader will nominate one from among the eliminated. Of course, the
nominated student cannot refuse. If there are classes tied for the lowest rank, there
is a possibility that there will be expulsions from multiple classes.”
This meant that if any of the students in the lowest-ranked class were
eliminated, there would definitely be at least one expulsion. The only exceptions
would be if 20 million points were paid or when a student holding Protection
Points was eliminated and selected.
It would be possible to avoid that if the lowest-ranked class kept the number
of eliminated students to zero, but that was nearly impossible under normal
circumstances.
“Excuse me, may I ask a question?”
Horikita, who was sitting in front of Chabashira-sensei, raised her hand to
ask for permission to speak.
“Yes, what is it?”
“What happens if the leader is eliminated midway through the special exam?
Also, will those who are eliminated be required to do something like leaving the
room?”
“To answer the easier question first, even if you are eliminated, you just
won’t be nominated by the attacker afterward. You’ll continue to wait in the same
place as the other students and are free to participate in the conversation.”
In other words, they would be put on the eliminated list, but there wouldn’t
be any other restrictions.
