Students were surprised by the unexpectedly high score of Ishtar’s warrior team.

“When did the warrior collect so many flags?”

“I guess that’s why she’s the top student.”

“What a shame… if Oknodie’s team had put a little more pressure, they could have prevented them from collecting flags.”

“But we got to see something good instead.”

“That’s right.”

“I’ll never forget what I saw today.”

The female students glared coldly at the male students who were overwhelmed with emotion as if they had witnessed a world heritage site.

“What’s wrong with those guys?”

“I don’t know.”

“The way they look at me is strange too. Why is everyone looking at me with pity when I’m on the second-place team?”

Lotta was just as confused, but what did it matter?

“Don’t worry about it. We’re in first place anyway!”

Hestia and Lotta’s expressions became complicated.

“Oknodie… I’m sorry. We weren’t skilled enough to maintain first place. If I had stopped Sing, we could have collected more flags until the end.”

“You counted the flags wrong, Oknodie. We collected 62, and the warrior team collected 65.”

Unlike the two with their gloomy atmosphere, Zigoku had an indifferent expression as he scratched his side with his empty revolver as if using a back scratcher.

‘I don’t care about the flags anyway. I had fun shooting like crazy, so I’d like to feel the afterglow of shooting while having a drink, smoking, and slacking off.’

That’s probably what his expression says.

Shooting, drinking, smoking, slacking off.

Things you can’t leave out when talking about pirates.

-Now I will announce the scores.

Skola, who belonged to the warrior team, raised her hand in confusion to object.

“Scores? You already showed us the rankings. Aren’t we in first place?”

-Like a failing student, your attention span is quite lacking. Did you think I made flags of different colors just because I was bored?

“……”

I’m glad I didn’t speak up.

Son Ocheon, Andersen, and several students from each team lowered their half-raised hands in relief.

-The flag colors are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. Each has a different point value depending on the difficulty of acquisition.

“But the most common flag color wasn’t red, it was orange?”

“Ah. That’s because I only had orange fabric available, so I made them orange.”

“……”

Arcadia glared at Giselle reproachfully.

“Should I make them purple next time?”

“No thanks!”

A belated realization crossed Warrior Ishtar’s face.

The flags in her team’s basket were collected without considering color.

Naturally, they had gathered red and orange flags, which were easier to obtain and had lower point values.

Compared to that, what about my team’s basket?

It was filled with colorful flags of all kinds.

As a bonus, we passed off all the lower-scoring flags to other students under the pretext of resetting and collected higher-scoring ones instead!

“What? So we should have just avoided orange flags from the beginning??”

“Why did you take off your stockings then?”

“Anyway, thanks to that we made some good memories.”

The male students nodded.

Who cares about flag colors now?

They witnessed the rare sight of female students urgently removing their stockings as a group!

“Why are they making such a fuss about stockings when we all went swimming together?”

“I don’t know. Maybe because they’re perverts?”

Among the disgusted female students, one sadistic girl with a whip laughed out loud, “Huhu.”

“Men are all dogs by nature. Women are the masters. Why don’t you all take this opportunity to choose a pet boy? It’s surprisingly more fun than raising an actual dog.”

“Oh my goodness, how outrageous.”

“How can someone treat a person as a pet? To come up with such an inhumane idea is too, too amazing! I want to try raising one too!”

“My father was right. All men are beasts and perverts. So maybe taming wild stray men and turning them into pets isn’t such a bad thing.”

The noble young ladies were beginning to open their eyes to a somewhat twisted world, but some male students, though taken aback, secretly glanced at the female students.

‘Hmph. These wimpy men. A real man should build muscles, become strong, and win his woman through strength, not desire to become a pet.’

If even the upper-class male students are like this, how tempted would the lower-class male students be if they received proposals from upper-class female students, given their inferior skills and economic power?

Next year’s chapter boss, who will begin to run rampant from the second year’s first semester, is already sprouting.

‘It’s too early to intervene. Looking at this, I wonder if I should even bother stopping it.’

From the perspective of someone who knows about the future incidents caused by sadistic women and their impact, these people seem crazy.

But I also understand the feelings of adolescent boys who want to get close to pretty girls, even in such ways.

Well, as long as Giselle or Son Ocheon don’t end up like that, it’s not my business.

-Now that the scoring based on flag colors is complete, here are the final results for each team.

===

□Oknodie Honor Student Team(A) – Total 101 points, 62 flags

□Ishtar Warrior Team(B) – Total 82 points, 65 flags

□Cassia Team(C) – Total 30 points, 5 flags

□Giselle Team(A) – Total 28 points, 15 flags

□Andersen Team(A) – Total 17 points, 11 flags

□Massgakki 2nd Princess Team(B) – Total 11 points, 9 flags

□Arcadia Princess Team(A) – Total 8 points, 7 flags

□Honer Prince Team(B) – Total 4 points, 4 flags

□Yayoi 3rd Princess Team(B) – Total 3 points, 3 flags

After the scoring, two teams rose in the rankings.

Our team, which was in second place, became first, and Cassia’s team, which had been competing at the bottom, shot up to third place.

“How did those Group C guys score so high?!”

“They only had 5 flags. Does that mean each of their flags was worth 6 points?”

Students from Groups A and B were shocked.

Throughout the fighting, Group C students had quietly watched from the sidelines.

They didn’t contribute their flags to the reset, but they neither participated nor interfered.

They were at the bottom of the rankings.

No intention to participate.

The other students had left them alone out of pity, but ironically, these spectators ended up surging to third place.

-Are you starting to understand? The meaning of forming teams and uniting at the Academy.

-Unity is only for the weak and powerless!

-True strong ones use even the unity of the weak as prey and fodder.

-This assignment is a victory for the cunning flag merchants, the mischievous children who deceived everyone with innocent faces, and the voyeurs who quietly enjoyed the value of their prey!

“Principal, second place is the warrior party.”

-Isn’t it embarrassing to be second place with the title of warrior? If it were me, I’d be kicking my blankets for a week.

“……”

Despite the principal’s cruel mockery, most students had no choice but to accept the visible results.

* *

[You have achieved 1st place in the first assignment of <The Principal’s Teaching> lecture.]

[Observation experience +30]

[Deception experience +20]

[Tracking experience +10]

[Ostracism experience +10]

[Visual experience +10]

[As a bonus for achieving 1st place, 3000 points are awarded to team leader Oknodie.]

[The team leader can distribute the team’s points to team members at their discretion.]

This is where the cost-effectiveness of flags comes in.

Points awarded to each team leader decrease by 100 for each rank lower!

Usually, since team rankings are determined by a single flag, each flag is valued at a maximum of 100 points.

‘This time, maybe because of me, even the warrior collected way more flags than usual.’

Although there was some inflation, team leaders received large amounts of points.

Here we can glimpse the principal’s wickedness.

The reason notification messages were sent only to team leaders, not team members, via magic watches.

It’s to stimulate human selfishness.

Don’t form teams.

Group life is troublesome.

Middle managers and leaders take a cut of your compensation.

A deliberately designed inefficient distribution system to teach the cruel reality!

‘When I first took this test, I was so happy thinking the compensation was only 10 points per person.’

I can eat two meals at the school cafeteria by attending the lecture!

When I realized that we could have received 500 points each, but the team leader swallowed it all and generously handed out only 10 points each, I chopped that guy’s head off with a greatsword.

Looking back, committing one clean murder and moving on to the next cycle was really the right thing to do.

‘Still, our kids worked hard and did well, so I should distribute it fairly.’

[750 points have been transferred to Hestia.]

[750 points have been transferred to Lotta.]

[750 points have been transferred to Zigoku.]

After coolly completing the transfer on the spot, I announced loudly to everyone:

“I divided the 3000 points equally among us! Everyone checked, right?”

Team leaders from other teams glared at me resentfully.

Hmph. Do you think that scares me?

“Oknodie. You should really become a member of the warrior party.”

“Ugh. No thanks. Why would I?”

“Hmph. So you still think I’m lacking in your eyes? Fine. Watch carefully. See how this warrior Ishtar continues her academic journey. Someday, I will earn your recognition.”

Ishtar’s figure, making promises to herself as she walked away, couldn’t be more burdensome.

If there’s anyone stupid enough to want to be a warrior even after hearing Professor Destroyer’s lecture, their sanity should be questioned.

“Oknodie. The lecture is over, what are you going to do now?”

“Since we’ve finished the lectures, I’m planning to visit some clubs.”

Isabelle, who had spoken to me, turned away with a disgusted look.

“You still have energy left. I’m exhausted and heading back first. I’m also annoyed by the boys constantly staring at my legs.”

Instead of wasting time trying to become the warrior’s companion and going on all sorts of strange adventures from the second year, it’s better to remove the hidden bombs in the academy and prepare for a comfortable school life.

In this crazy academy, there are as many insane seniors as there are insane professors, and the bomb I’m about to remove was planted in a club by one of those seniors.
