But he wasnt the only one that got a nice bunch of rescue points (even though he seems to be the most points earner one) so I guess that even if they didnt know that they were being tested for that it was somewhat natural for some of them. The difference is that MC is the only one that went totally out of "his way" to rescue while others did minor helping, like the laser guy, wich actually is the reason that he passed. If robot p1 would have hurted him on forced him to auto-destroy himself to survive and get 1 point he wouldnt had passed.

So yeah. Penis laser boy made this anime possible.
