Thanks for the releases kings

Ah yes, obviously the blatant score fixed tests will just be shoved under the rug, no investigation needed...
Author I was just thinking you had a brain but now you're doing this. Hope author will bring it up again after the silly duel thats in there just because every story has to have it.

"But I've never heard of beastmen using magic as well as they did in this test. They're so bad at it I've heard that they often end their first year without being able to use magic at all."

And I've heard that the prince is as dense as a rock.
The difference is that what you've heard are rumours and gossip, what I've heard is first hand, eeeevery time the prince opens his mouth

 

[OmegaDragon]

I've forgotten what's this manga about.
So far, it's just bunch of kids fighting over grades

 

[pandatime]

Younknow been the Principal she most like yeah know there wqs cheating but she Also just kinda goes lmao lets just have them duel it out since fuckwads will not accept it eighter way

 

[blablablub]

How many members of golden whateveritscalled are there for the history average to be 72? All the scores we were presented in this chapter were 80+
And of course the other side is cheating and has to loudly proclaim how much better they are. Even though they had to cheat.

 

[0neDragon]

I hope they get absolutly crushed ,to the point were they can't even look into thier eyes anymore

The prince is blatantly covering for the teacher and without solid proof it's all going to be 'he said she said'
It's better to keep these 'hey, remember that time?' incidents to use as later ammo than firing and miss.

Also given the principal's personality it wouldn't surprise me if once the Rose team start cheating she also did a little manipulation on her side to get this final 'draw' result so she can propose the duel.

 

[lenovoaxioo]

For such a cute manga, it's quite far from being wholesome

 

[Serathe7]

Score rigging should be a disciplined offense. (shakes head) Both for the teacher and the student. I think this Gabriella girl is leaning too hard into her reincarnated as a villainess route.

 

[Grye]

We could investigate cheating
But kids brawling is clearly and obviously the thing I wanted
I definitely didn't want the adults in this situation to do the right thing

Yeah, was wondering why they didn't just say "this looks odd, so just like we reviewed beastmen for bringing objects into the exam, we'll have some extra people (including me) look at the answers-sheets submitted by anyone scoring over 95. The normal stuff - check if the grading was correct, check if handwriting looks similar, and have a random few of the students answer some extra questions around that level verbally".

no?
There is paper-trails archived. And the students are still under their purview, so can be re-tested by someone else (without a claimed conflict of interest) to make sure.

This is why midtest grading is such a horrible idea. You open the door to spur of the moment cheating,

At this point, it looks more like purposely baiting them into slander while collecting evidence than a passing whim.

Also, getting a draw is kinda hard to pull off.

 

[Smokeball]

The manga is more focusing on political aspect rather than the idea of being a fantasy world. Not my cup of tea tbh. Well for people that love this kind of stupid drama, then they might like it. I'd respectfully drop here to not sullen my mood any longer.

Top: because it is the prince and a member of high nobility (what's-her-face) vs a member of high nobility and commoners of a group that is actively and publicly discriminated against. Politically the other side has more power than the MC's side. The teachers SHOULD be nobility as well, but may be commoners themselves.
What doesn't make sense to me is that ALL of the teachers were grading each set of tests. If there was clear and evident cheating it should have been found by the ones who were independent or on the MC's political side. The fact that it wasn't either means "no cheating" (unlikely), that all of the enemy team was graded by enemy teachers (possible, but difficult to pull off) or the test papers were different enough between the two groups to favor the enemy team, but NOT enough to immediately be noticable and reported. The last one is the most likely (of what I came up with) but would require extensive work by the math teacher, for which I doubt they had time, AND is so convoluted that I doubt the author thought of it.
I guess the final option was that ALL of the math tests were simply simple enough for all of the enemy members to pass it easily and this simply isn't mentioned.

Bottom: I get the feeling that the teachers are specialists. That, much like modern schools outside of elementary, they are competent in their own field but not (necessarily) in others. Yes, they can clearly grade preexisting work, but creating the test content on the fly would be different than checking answers based off a "key".
I know it is basically grade school, but if they are playing into the medieval fantasy it's based in, school isn't common and they were probably trained for their individual job at the same facility.

I could, however, easily be wrong. The most obvious answer is what everyone is coming to: the duel was inevitable.

The principal appears to be anti-that faction (and have a ton of sway), so I would argue that it's more likely they would overlook mc but not the prince.

Yeah, I was a bit confused by that too. But I imagine the math teacher didn't grade the students and just gave it 98-100 points, giving them a throughput that let them cover the entire rose group (and for some reason no principal or politically antagonistic teacher called him out on it?).

I was going to refute that entire paragraph with this, but seems you realized it yourself. This is elementary education, and all teachers has already gone through it themselves. And surely they are not solely reliant on a singular teacher - what if he falls ill or worse? Must exists someone available to be a substitute, so can use him (or just use the principal herself, argue it is for "fairness" so noone frames the rose faction).

Really wasn't, in-universe.

Top: the principal, yes. But it is still the next monarch and one (or more) of the top Noble's of the country. I don't care what power the principal may or may not have over the school, it likely pales in comparison with the combined political power of the Rose group.
Literally, unless the King/Queen gave her equal authority, her hands are tied with regards to outright declaring foul. And navigating the intricacies of countering one cheating accusation with "well, we will check everything and everyone then" is more difficult than the end result that was chosen.

Second: but there is the problem. The math teacher wasn't the only teacher grading the math tests (which is what made me realize that my next point was wrong). Unless she demanded all of the tests for the group she favors, someone else (who could also favor that group, but for each member to each teacher this becomes less likely) had to grade some of their tests. If she demanded all of the tests for one group and no one called foul... That would be an even bigger problem.

Third: my point was proven wrong because it shows all the teachers graded each test each time. Unless they were each given a "key" to the tests, which would only work for multiple choice questions and (obviously) math, but not critical thinking literature (but, given the example questions, those could have been on a grading "key" sheet as well). Anyway, this point is basically meaningless so I will drop it.

Finally: honestly, even in-universe it could have been inevitable. This depends on multiple factors, really, so it is hard to tell. Easiest factor to boil down is that if the other group lost they would have accused our group of cheating and made enough of a fuss that it either would have nullified the contest, changed the contest to something else (in their favor) or resulted in a duel... which, I believe, the principal predicted, planned for, and decided on. If true, the (likely) best result is from a duel, so she would push for that. This means that unless the other group won outright, a duel was effectively the foregone conclusions.
But, still, I am making assumptions here, and therefore could easily be wrong.

That mad principal is provoking everyone lol
I like it. Let's go see the duel.

 

[Elhao]

Urgh, fuck the principal.
