Chapter 298: Class Representative Election

"The Flag Stealing Exam is a test where each group from every class will try to collect as many flags as possible. The more flags you collect, the higher your exam score will be. However, remember, you also need to defend the flags you already have. If you still have at least one flag when the exam ends, you will still pass, but only with a passing grade—not more, not less."
Some students appeared to be deep in thought. It was clear that this exam was not just about speed and strength, but also strategy and defense.
"In the meantime," Lina continued, "the Odd Fourth Semester Exam is the Obstacle Course Exam. In this exam, you will all run out of the stadium, around a designated track, and then back to the stadium. Along the track, there will be various obstacles you must overcome. The more members of your group that successfully reach the finish line in the stadium, the higher your score will be. However, if you fail to reach the stadium within the allotted time, you will be declared failed. If your group manages to arrive at the stadium first, your score will be doubled."
As the explanation ended, whispers began to fill the room. Some students discussed their strategies, while others seemed more worried about the challenges they would face.
In a corner of the room, Haruto sat lazily, his eyes looking heavy as if he wanted to close them at any moment. Haruto was not particularly interested in this discussion—not because he didn’t care, but because he had spent the previous night researching information about the Soul Collectors.
Lack of sleep made Haruto's face look haggard, and his expression was full of fatigue. He was only half-listening to what Lina was saying, while his mind was still swirling with the information he had gathered the night before.
On the other hand, Haruto's group members exchanged glances. They knew that Haruto was a competent person, but seeing him in this state made them a bit worried.
Lina noticed her students' reactions and smiled faintly.
"The Third Even Semester Exam and the Odd Fourth Semester Exam will be held on the third and fourth days of the Sports Festival. So, for today, you don’t need to worry too much. Why? Because you still have enough time to prepare."
Hearing this, almost all the students sighed in relief.
However, before they could relax too much, Lina spoke again in a serious tone.
"Now, we will discuss one of the important events in the Sports Festival—the points collection event. Each class from every grade will send one representative for this event. This event requires someone who understands Horror, as well as knowledge of herbal and poisonous plants to collect as many points as possible."
As those words left Lina's mouth, the entire room suddenly fell silent. The students looked at each other, confused.
Horror? Herbal plants? Poisonous plants?
Some began to whisper, trying to understand the concept of this event.
Lina swept her gaze across the room and asked, "So, who wants to participate in this event? Remember, only one person will represent this class."
The room fell silent again. No one immediately raised their hand or stepped forward.
Those who had knowledge of herbal and poisonous plants might not have the courage to face several Horrors alone, as Lina had mentioned. Meanwhile, those who might be brave enough to confront many Horrors might not necessarily have in-depth knowledge of plants.
In the corner of the room, Haruto let out a long sigh and rubbed his face.
"Why does it have to be something so troublesome...?" Haruto thought to himself.
Lina waited patiently, anticipating who would step forward as the representative.
