If you’re interested in what happened in the duel between Class 1-A and Class 1-C, look no further as this article will tell you everything you need to know!

Class 1-A vs. Class 1-C: An introduction

As we’ve said, in this article, we are going to talk about the match-ups from the Event Selection Special Exam. Classes compete against one another in pairs as part of this difficulty. The important thing to remember was that the classes themselves would select the events that would be included in the exam, nominating five “real” and five “fake” ones, from which the seven events would be selected. The Class Commanders were responsible for selecting the pairs and it happened so that Class 1-A, led by Arisu Sakayanagi, was matched against Class 1-C, led by Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

Now that we have cleared this, we can tell you the events that the classes chose to nominate:

The second event selected was the typing speed test, which was also an official event selected by Class 1-C. The event consisted of three parts (Vocabulary, Short Passages, and Essays), and the goal was to test the players’ speed and accuracy. In this event, the Commander could warn the participant about one mistake, but none of the Commanders used this privilege. Class 1-A selected Kenta Yoshida as their representative, while Class 1-C selected Hideo Sotomura.

3. English Quiz

The third event was the English Quiz, which was Class 1-A’s official event and Class 1-C’s “fake” event, so it was obvious that Class 1-A would have an advantage here. The quiz was based on the first-year syllabus, and the Commander had the chance to answer one question in place of the participants. The right was not exercised. The teams were as follows:

4. Mathematics Quiz

Another mathematics-based event, was also one of Class 1-A’s official events. In it, the students had to do mental calculations, while the focus was on speed and precision.

Class 1-A chose Kōhei Katsuragi and Emi Tamiya as their representatives, while Rokusuke Kōenji and Chiaki Matsushita represented Class 1-C.

6. Archery

Class 1-C’s first official event, archery, was chosen as the penultimate event between these two classes. No details have been provided about these events, but we assume that standard archery rules applied. The Commander’s role has also not been specified. We don’t know who represented Class 1-A, while one of the two Class 1-C representatives was Miyake Akito.

7. International Chess

The final event was Class 1-A’s first official event from the list. Standard rules of international chess applied, with no time extensions after the 40th turn.
