2MONOLOG HIRATA YOSUKE
3 
4For me, classmates are an important existence.
5
6... No, that's not true.
7
8For me, this class is the most important existence.
9
10I know very well the contradiction in that statement.
11
12To protect my important friends, I have to protect the class.
13
14If I can protect my class, I can protect my friends.
15
16Classes are groups of several students. There are many different statements from a number of people. They began to fight with each other starting from the least important things.
17
18That's why I have to protect them.
19Finally, protecting the class has become my duty.
20
21However— that was not the real me.
22At first I wasn't someone who became the center of the class. My presence was like a shadow.
23
24Using class C for example, maybe I am similar to Ayanokouji-kun.
25
26That's why I sometimes see him like myself in the past.
27
28But I have changed.
29
30After the incident, it was impossible for me not 
31to change it.
32
33When I was a kid, I had a very good friend. A friend who continues to be with me from kindergarten to junior high school. 
34
35He was buillied without me noticing and finally attempted commiting suicide.
36
37No, the fact that he is still alive is pure coincidence.
38Him dying is wouldn’t be strange at all.
39
40That day.
41
42From that day on, my life began to change.
43
44I began to think about how to get rid of bullying.
45
46But I failed.
47
48The class is broken because it chose the wrong action. 
49
50The fight in the class itself had disappeared, but at the same time, his smile also disappeared.
51
52 And then, again, the same thing will happen right in front of me. 
53
54I can't let the same mistake repeat itself. That is the only answer I got.
55
56The only way to protect this class.
57
58It is-
59
60The scene that spread in front of me was filled with classmates who looked at me with a surprised look on their faces.
61
62"Horikita-san ... can you shut up for a bit."
63
64Words that do not contain signs of intelligence.
65
66Vulgar and rude.
67
68 My own words.
69
70That sounds far from anger or sadness.
71
72My classmates, including Horikita-san, looked at me strangely.
73
74It does not matter.
75
76At this stage, it's no longer a problem. 
77
78
79At the end of this worst special exam.

86CHAPTER 1: QUIET BEFORE THE STORAGE.
87 
88 
89It's been a few days since the semester exam, and finally arrived in March today.
90
91It's Monday, and everyone is worried, because the results of the semester exam will be announced at the end of the class.
92
93If you cannot pass the exam, you will get expelled by the school.
94
95
96"Sensei, will it be announced now ?!"
97
98Ike was tense, unable to sit quietly, he stood up to ask the teacher a question in class.
99
100"Don't worry, you will know in less than a minute."
101
102Chabashira-sensei showed us a large sheet of paper she was carrying.
103
104Schools generally will publish information through electronic platforms such as cellphones or school forums.
105
106 However, it seems that the only thing like the semester exam related to dropping out of school maintains this way of publication.
107
108"What is your response? Ike"
109
110"Yes, maybe I learned a lot, but ..."
111
112"Didn't you study hard, why are you still 
113worried about that?"
114
115This feels weird rather than surprised. 
116
117Chabashira-sensei smiled.
118
119Even though he tried hard. For Ike, who usually gets low grades, no matter how much he studies, it's clear he will still feel anxious.
120
121"How about you Sudou, every time you study to not to be the last?"
122
123It is not surprising that he is the most restless student.
124
125It's no exaggeration to say this, because most of the subjects on the semester exam so far, Sudou grades are at the bottom. 
126
127Even though Chabashira-sensei thought that the response would be the same as Ike, Sudou said some unexpected words.
128
129"... At least, I have faith, I won't fail."
130
131"Heeh?"
132
133Sudou, who has no ability other than exercise, his expressions and voice have provided a kind of confidence.
134
135Of course, there will be someone with anxiety like Ike, however, Sudou tries to overcome it, his study  experience convinced himself. 
136
137His knowledge was obtained through repeated study sessions with Horikita.
138
139This is different from how studying hardcore overnight. Little by little, that knowledge are slowly embedded in him.
140
141Horikita's face, who was the teacher of Sudou, did not look worried.
142
143However, it seems like she doesn't like something about Sudou bragging.
144
145"Oh ... The development of children to grow up is quite interesting. I can't predict how you’ll grow up, you easily betray my expectations. Alright, now I will announce the results of the semester exams you are waiting for."
146
147The results of the semester exam are all on the board.
148
149After this, the red line will be drawn by Chabashira-sensei.
150
151Anyone with a name below that line will be forcibly expelled.
152
153"The results of this time are ─ ─ ─"
154
155Chabashira-sensei took the red pen.
156
157Pressing the tip of the pen onto the paper and drawing a horizontal line straight.
158
159The red line from that destination.
160
161Students with names under the red line ─ ─ no one.
162
163Meaning ...
164
165"All of you have passed this test very well. So far, this is the most perfect result."
166
167Chabashira-sensei announced that we as Class C fully passed the semester exam.
168
169"Oh - yeah!"
170
171Ike shouted.
172
173Maybe to cool his heart. Because the Ike scored the lowest in this exam.
174
175"Wow, it's easy to pass, hahahahahaha ... ... that's a good victory!"
176
177He said repeatedly while looking at the red line below his name.
178
179"I only studied briefly for this semester's exam."
180
181Yamauchi who was ranked second to last, followed by Ike.
182
183"You must be lying, Haruki. You study desperately, and did it every day."
184
185"Is that so? Waah!"
186
187However, no one will complain because both Ike and Yamauchi passed.
188
189I watched vaguely that Chabashira-sensei gazed softly at them.
190
191Even so, the results were shocking.
192
193The lowest is Ike, the next is Yamauchi, Hondou and the next is Satou and Inogashira.
194
195The name Sudou is written above them.
196
197Paying attention to Sudou's results so far, you could say that is a good improvement.
198
199"This year, in terms of improving performance, Sudou did the best, and I can understand why you have confidence to graduate. I will be looking forward to your progress in the future."
200
201The same impression was given by Chabashira-sensei.
202
203"Hey, it's not good enough to show off."
204
205Even though Sudou said that, but she didn’t glare at him.
206
207On the other hand, the top ranked students were basically almost the same as usual.
208The first place is the Keisei. 
209
210The second place is Koenji. Keisei had good academic capacity from the start, maintaining his rank because he was always diligent in studying, but Koenji was a mystery. 
211
212I never saw him study and he never exchanged opinions with anyone.
213
214If he uses academic skills with full potential, that potential can outperform Keisei. 
215
216There are some that go up and down in the rankings, probably because we all received different marks. 
217
218Horikita is in third place. 
219
220Quite impressed with the performance of her English exam, this time she got a high score. After teaching Sudou, did she also succeed in improving his own academic abilities?
221
222"Sensei, what about the other classes?"
223
224"In accordance with each class, in terms of the average per class, you are the third."
225
226It doesn't even need to say which class is ranked first, second and bottom.
227
228"However, to go beyond class A and class B, we have to increase the average mark as much as possible."
229
230Horikita recorded ratings and points without being satisfied with the results.
231
232The best students almost get perfect grades and the value is almost stagnant.
233
234 The fact is that we have to raise the marks of the lower ranks in the class.
235
236"I often pay attention to Sudou, I'm impressed."
237
238"This is the result of his own efforts, this time he overcame his weaknesses as a whole."
239
240Although Sudou is not good in the subject of English and so is Horikita, their performance is growing rapidly.
241
242It can be seen from that marks that both of them study English intensively.
243
244"In the next exam, I don't know if he can improve it anymore. Of course, that depends on whether he is able to continue focusing during study sessions."
245
246No need to worry about that part. As far as Horikita is there with him, Sudou will continue to fight on.
247
248Maybe Sudou himself should begin to feel something during his studies.
249
250I thought he would go into the ranks of “middle class” section immediately.
251
252"There seems to be a bit more room for Ike-kun and Yamauchi-kun from the red mark and it seems very appropriate for us to hold regular study sessions. 
253
254“If someone next to me would do it all the time, maybe you might increase your average score?"
255
256"This achievement is my limit."
257
258As usual, I'm not good or bad. This time it is ranked 18th.
259
260"You can't convince me with words like that. One day I’ll make you to take the exam seriously."
261
262"I will try to fulfill your expectations."
263
264After all, I survived this semester exam too.
265
266Ike, Yamauchi, and the students in the lowest rank sections were relieved, and they started joking with each other. In such a situation, the teacher in class C was watching them calmly.
267
268"Although this is relatively simple, but let me praise you for doing it well."
269
270Chabashira-sensei who has never praised her own class, but recently started to do it. 
271
272Maybe for this semester's exam, she also have a feeling that all of us will graduate.
273
274"We did it!"
275
276"However, Ike, you became a little bit too excited. In addition to special examinations, at the academic level, it's natural for you to pass an exam like this. And besides, this exam is not as difficult as other exams. "
277
278Compared to other semester exams this year, the difficulty of this exam is indeed low. However, it is safe to set the level of difficulty that can be traversed, it can be said that it’s to maintain the appearance of the school.
279
280"Well, it can't be helped, even if we have talked about it forever."
281
282Changing the air in the classroom which was encased in cheerful air, Chabashira-sensei gave a heavy atmosphere.
283
284This is the usual exposure.
285
286"I think you also realize it. Completing the semester exam does not mean the test is complete. After this, a special exam will be held. Like in the previous years, it will likely be held on March 8.”
287
288Chabashira-sensei explained.
289
290Is March 8 next Monday?
291
292Even though the semester exam has just ended, it is understandable because the schedule remaining in the school year is almost over.
293
294For the third grade, after this special exam there seems to be one more special exam that is waiting.
295
296"In short, the next special exam will be the final exam of the year, it’s possible to increase our grades, so let's work together to go up to class A without anyone getting anyone expelled out of school."
297
298Hirata encourages the students in the middle of thee class, and many students exhaled and nodded.
299
300Chabashira-sensei looked at a scene like that, and smiled lightly.
301
302"If it's you, maybe you really can graduate without anyone dropping out of school. I'm looking forward to that day."
303
304There was barely any time before the lesson ended, but Chabashira-sensei ended the class with that sentence.
305
306"Does that make you feel that sensei has praised us?"
307
308Ike and Yamauchi smiled cheerfully.
309
310"But don't be careless because of that, next week's special exam won't be easy."
311
312A little reminding them, Chabashira-sensei closed the end of the class.
313

333
334PART 1
335 
336School life as a first year student is almost completed.
337
338During the morning class, I used the break to go to the toilet.
339
340On the way back, I met the second and third graders who were familiar with each other. They are talking.
341
342Student council president Nagumo Miyabi and former student council president Horikita Manabu.       
343I thought it was just a coincidence. 
344
345Nagumo immediately realized my presence.
346
347He waved at me. I can't go back to class by pretending I don't realize it.
348
349"Did you graduate from the semester exam?"
350
351Compared to Nagumo who was so relaxed. Horikita Manabu just looked at me calmly.
352
353"Yes, somehow."
354
355I started meaningless talks with him.
356
357"I don't think that the attitude of yours should be used in front of the student council president."
358
359"... Is that so?"
360
361I am improving my attitude a little. Even though I don't know if he can accept it, it will be a bit better.
362
363"Oh, maybe it's better like that. There's something I want to hear from you."
364Nagumo looked enthusiastic on his face. While I feel grateful that no one else has seen us around.
365
366"In the slander of Ichinose Honami, someone spread stories about rumors of some students written in school forums to divert from the subject, who did this?"
367
368This is a talk made to test me. No, you don't even 
369have to say that he saw through it.
370
371My attitude won't change, no matter how much 
372information Nagumo gets.
373
374"I don't know, but the fact is that it also troubles me."
375
376"You're also a victim when you say it, what's in it ..."
377
378"Regarding this, the school has warned us. I don't want to add anything more than this, I think it's not an exception, even for the student council president."
379
380Such behavior must be avoided.
381
382"As Ayanokouji said, Nagumo, you must refrain from commenting on this matter."
383
384Getting support from Horikita, made Nagumo immediately give up on this topic. It seems that he doesn’t want to discuss this topic.
385
386"What are the two celebrities talking about here?"
387
388"I have something to talk about with Horikita-senpai, right?"
389
390In the presence of Nagumo's deliberate sentiment. Horikita Manabu who was silent, nodded.
391
392Well, I'm a little worried about the location of this conversation. This is a first-class floor, that feeling still exists.
393
394"Before grade 1 and grade 2 exam, it's important to decide whether Horikita-senpai can successfully graduate as class A? The special exam for grade 3 will start tomorrow, so I want to hear it directly for Horikita-senpai. You're also interested, right?"
395
396Third grade students are different, they have more special exam unlike us.
397
398I don't think it will be surprising when it starts.
399Even though I don't know what Nagumo wants me to say, I can still answer it honestly here.
400
401"I'm not very interested in that, I don't really care about the senior students."
402
403Because I'm not interested in this, so Nagumo showed a face that was not satisfied.
404
405"Don't get cocky ,just because you are Horikita-senapi’s favourite."
406
407I don't remember ever beating his favourite 
408
409Actually, the amount of times I have contacted Horikatai Manabu can be counted with hands.
410
411"No, you have been specially treated. But it's not because you're a special student, you just 
412happened to be placed in a special environment. Is a Kouhai who is worried about Horkita-Senpai also here?"
413
414Kouhai? When I looked back, I saw Horikita Suzune from afar.
415
416It was too stupid to say that this was a coincidence.
417
418"You call her, Nagumo?"
419
420"It's natural to greet your younger sister, after all, as a student council president, next year I will be inviting her."
421
422Apparently, Nagumo clarified that Horikita Manabu had a younger sister.
423
424The only unintentional element is that my presence is here.
425
426"Come here."
427
428Nagumo said that , greeting Horikita's sister, like this.
429
430"... Student Council President Nagumo, are you the one who sent me a message?"
431
432"Talking to you feels a little different, but it's almost the same. Are you the sister of Horikita-senpai?"
433
434"Yes ...... I'm Horikita Suzune."
435
436At the same time, because he was in front of his brother, the answer from Horikita was rather restrained.
437
438"It's surprising that Horikita-senpai's sister was placed in class D when she entered."
439
440"What is your goal Nagumo?"
441
442He did not look at his sister once, but urged Nagumo to answer.
443
444
445If he arranged this meeting, there should be a purpose.
446
447But Nagumo shook his head to the side without saying anything.
448
449"I just want to see, Senpai and your younger sister."
450
451Maybe he has a goal. Such as making judgments for his sister.
452
453"I told you before, you should not think that you can withdraw my concession using my sister."
454
455"Concession? It's impossible, I will involve Senpai’s sweet sister, right? "
456
457"To win, no matter what, it's your obligation."
458Nagumo did not confirm it, but he denied it from the sharp words of Horikita Manabu.
459
460"Speaking of that, you really saw it. If your sister is in this school, tell me before. I would have invited her to the Student Council."
461
462"What?"
463
464Hearing Nagumo's words, the two sibilants unexpectedly were very surprised.
465
466"If she is your sister, even after I graduate, you can even sit in the chair as student council president. You're the younger sister of a man who received several awards at this school, that would be enough as a title."
467
468"Don't impose abilities only with blood relations, my sister can't do what I do."
469
470"... Yes, I can't do work as a student council officer."
471
472To cover his brother's denial of her, Horikita Suzune humbled herself. She refused invitations to join the Student Council.
473
474After all, when I talked about the topic of the Student Council before, she herself refused.
475
476It seems that Nagumo saw something from her that continued to maintain his interest.
477
478"For today I only have a direct meeting, I will invite you again later."
479
480Whether she really wanted to join the Student Council was a different matter, and it seemed that Nagumo stated that he would actively invite Horikita's younger sister in the future. It was as if he was trying to shake him, trying to find a weak spot from Horikita Manabu.
481
482"... Then, umm, I ..."
483
484Horikita Suzune tried to cut off the conversation, she tried to escape not from Nagumo but from her older brother.
485
486"There isn't much time left in school life for seniors. Isn't it better to spend time with your older brother?"
487
488"Sorry, I'm leaving."
489
490Horikita decided that further talks would be unpleasant for her brother, and Horikita went to the classroom through a small corridor. If everyone saw his sister, it was clear to everyone that their brotherly relationship was bad.
491
492"That's a very good relationship, Horikita-senpai."
493
494"Are you satisfied? Nagumo."
495
496But it seems like, No matter what Nagumo's idea was, it seemed that it didn't matter to Horikita Manabu.
497
498"If it's me, I would appreciate the time left with my sister."
499
500Half of the purpose of Nagumo's statement had been lit.
501
502Even though, in reality Horikita followed her brother to come to this school. However, she has never been in touch with him so far.
503
504"In short, I ask Senpai for help in graduating in class A and. If you really fall into class B, you won't be able to laugh."
505
506If the situation occurs, a picture of school expectations and expectations of students will be betrayed.
507
508The pressure can be seen ... No, he is not the person who will feel this pressure.
509
510Horikita Manabu felt that the conversation was over and he left without saying unnecessary words.
511
512"Well, I don't think you can be an opponent in my class."
513
514It seems that until the end, Nagumo will be attached to Horikita Manabu.
515
516"Is playing with the former student council president so important?"
517
518In the training camp that lasted a while ago, Nagumo tried to attack Horikita Manabu by taking immoral methods, involving classes who had no connection with him.
519
520"Of course, defeating Horikita-senpai is my only goal left in this school."
521
522However competition between grade 2 and grade 3 is almost impossible to compete directly.
523
524Regardless of any method, he intends to make it happen by all means.
525
526"Well, that depends on the contents of the special exam and Horikita-senpai."
527
528No matter how much he made enemies, Nagumo decided the outcome before Horikita Manabu graduate. Even though he said it depends on the contents of the exam, Nagumo would involve himself.
529
530There was not much time to settle with Horikita Manabu.
531
532"Isn’t there a problem, Student Council president Nagumo? During next week's special exam, I don't think it will be easy for second-year students to interfere."
533
534"I do it anyway. I hope he will fall."
535
536When the break is over, the conversation with Nagumo ended.
537
538Shortly after returning to the classroom, my neighbor Horikita turned her eyes to me.
539
540"Student Council President Nagumo and Nii-san ... what are they talking about?"
541
542"You won't be curious if you stayed until the end."
543
544"That ... ..."
545
546But this is difficult for her. She wasn't as usual in front of her older brother and became very obedient.
547
548"First of all, you listen to the conversation between the two of them and it's not normal. It will be of concern to anyone. I wonder if it's because you are competing in relay with Nii-san at the sports festival? "
549
550She cleverly insinuated me. However, I also cannot predict the future.
551
552So I can't make everything go forward in perfect condition.
553
554"You have almost no chance to get involved with your brother for a year."
555
556"... ... is that bad?"
557
558When I came up with the topic of his older brother, Horikita's mood became worse.
559
560If that's the case, she doesn't need to mention the topic with me.
561
562Did I mention her brother in my conversation with 
563Nagumo? Her curiosity about this was written on her face.
564
565"Should you try to see it once before he graduates?"
566
567"You don't know anything, you have nothing to do with Nii-san. Knowing that he will stare coldly at me, it's stupid to approach him."
568
569So she was satisfied with entering this school, just by looking at it.
570
571"If something interests him, that ... Even though I don't like it, but Nii-san is only interested in you."
572
573That is not true.
574
575I decided to say it, but I immediately stopped it.
576
577Even if I continue to discuss this topic here, she will not believe it.
578
579The most important thing is that if he doesn't have the courage to deal with it, it will be difficult to do it.
580
581"Yes. Maybe that's the problem,"
582
583I cut the topic.
584
585I thought Horikita was still not satisfied, but I would say nothing more.

604CHAPTER 2: Class Surveys
605 
606Next day Tuesday, March 2.
607
608Shortly after the bell rang, Chabashira-sensei came to the classroom.
609
610This is a constant sight every day.
611
612Classmates are in a relaxed atmosphere.
613
614Yesterday, we have successfully completed the semester exam peacefully, and there are still a few more days before March 8, which will be the end of the special exam for grade 1.
615
616After all, there's no need to maintain the elements of tension, because everyone will take it for granted.
617
618However, Chabashira-sensei's expression standing in front of the class was more serious than before.
619The tension emanating from her began to spread to students.
620
621"Sensei, what happened?"
622
623Hirata, who always prioritizes class stability, leads in asking questions to Chabashira-sensei.
624
625Chabashira-sensei didn't answer right away and remained silent.
626
627As if she hated to say it.
628
629So far, no matter how serious the problem is, she would explain it without hesitation. Therefore, even without spending too much time with her, students understand that her appearance is very unusual.
630
631"──── there is something I want to say to you."
632
633Saying it seems boring.
634
635Even though he looked as serious as before, she gave a feeling of despair when she spoke from her throat.
636
637"As I said yesterday that the last special exam for the first grade will begin on March 8. By completing this special exam, you will go up to second grade, that is an ordinary story."
638
639Chabashira-sensei turned her back to reach the blackboard after she took the chalk.
640
641"But this year, the situation is a little different from last year."
642
643"Different?"
644
645I heard Hirata feel something disturbing.
646
647"Even though we have completed the semester exam, no one has been expelled in this class. At this stage, the absence of students dropping out of school has never happened yet."
648
649"That's because we are good."
650
651I didn't think he would be in harmony, but 
652
653Chabashira-sensei didn't interrupt Ike.
654
655If Chabashira-sensei is usual, she might warn him not to forget.
656
657"Yes, that's where school recognizes, this is usually a good thing. As a school, we hope that the more students who can graduate, the better. But 'there is a change in schedule,' I have to say that is a problem."
658That's a strange statement. Hirata and Horikita are worried about this.
659"That's an unsettling sentence, because nobody dropped out of school so far."
660"There is no such thing, but sometimes something can exceed my expectations."
661Even though Chabashira-sensei spoke calmly, but her words were very heavy.
662To get rid of this atmosphere, Horikita kept asking questions.
663"What do you mean? Do you want to say that we have a problem?"
664But, no matter what Horikita said, she couldn't change the content that Chabashira-sensei would talk about.
665He is not free.
666As a school teacher, his job is to only convey instructions.
667"In this case, the school considers that no students dropout of school in the first grade—"
668Then Chabashira-sensei stopped.
669He squeezed the words that would come out of his throat.
670"As a special case for responding to this situation, we will immediately hold additional tests starting today."
671He began writing today's date on the board, namely, Tuesday, March 2, and wrote additional tests. .
672"Eh eh ?! This is serious! Additional exams are the worst! Did anyone say they wanted someone out because there were no students dropping out of school? "
673Facing Ike's shout, Chabashira-sensei skipped all this by ignoring it. Students have no right to refuse.
674No, maybe Chabashira-sensei has no right to do so. Today he doesn't look as calm as before.
675It seems that it is not to scare us, it might be a sudden decision made by the school.
676"The situation seems a little different from what we did before."
677Horikita, who realized that the counterattack was meaningless, whispered.
678"Only students who have passed this additional test are entitled to take a special exam on March 8."
679After a vague explanation, Chabashira-sensei stopped.
680"I don't think I can accept it! After all, we only did additional tests in this session!"
681"It is not surprising that you feel unhappy, what can you do because students will bear the burden of carrying out additional examinations that are not on the calendar, it will add to the number of special examinations even though one compared to the past. Because of this fact, I and other teachers also really take this seriously. "
682The teacher is also very serious, huh?
683In other words, even though the teachers were very worried about this additional test, the school did not think so.
684Of course, adding extra exams at this time can only bring pain to students.
685If it is something that requires academic skills such as a semester exam, students must be encouraged to study again, and even if it is a test of physical endurance, it is also necessary to plan preventive measures.
686No matter what test is taken, it is too surprising for students.
687However, no matter how students submit complaints, the test will not be canceled. Chabashira-sensei continued to explain.
688"Additional test content is very simple, and the dropout rate for each class is not less than 3%."
689The dropout rate is lower than 3%.
690I felt that it was very low after listening to that.
691However, I'm afraid this additional test will be different from the previous exam.
692He does not need to bother telling the average dropout rate first.
693He never used expressions like that in previous special exams.
694Students who pay attention begin to doubt it.
695As soon as I turned my gaze to the side, he flew me at the same time and our eyes met by chance.
696"What's the matter, Ayanokouji-kun?"
697"No, nothing."
698"If you see me without any intention, it will only make me feel disgusted?"
699"... ..."
700I averted my eyes and decided to look at the outside of the window once.
701We are in a narrow classroom, wherever someone sees, conversation content can be heard.
702"What kind of test is that, what kind of skills are asked for?"
703"There seems to be anxious about that. There's no need to worry, additional tests have nothing to do with academic ability and physical strength. At that time, you can certainly finish it. It's very simple. However, just write the name on the test form. Then the final result is only 3 % of the possibility of dropping out of school, isn't it arguably this very low? "
704However, he did not mention the contents of the exam content.
705"... The level of difficulty is irrelevant. In our opinion, 3% is a terrible part."
706"As you say, Hirata. I don't know that you have a fear of 3%. But whether or not you can reduce to less than 3% depends on the behavior of the period prepared for the actual exam. Additional test results will change according to your actions. You should have imagined this. "
707"Where did you see it? 3% of this amount. I want to hear what you mean, isn't that like a lottery for this kind of test?"
708This is the probability that there are students who will drop out of school in class.
709Even though Chabashira-sensei said the 3% was a little, the burden on the student's side was heavier than expected.
710Hirata is the first to understand it, so stick to that point.
711"Please, tell me, what kind of additional test is that?"
712"The name of the additional exam is 'voting in class.' "
713"Voting in class ......"
714Additional test names are written on the board.
715"I will explain the rules of additional examinations. From four days from now, you are required to evaluate your classmates, and then choose three students who you think should be praised and criticized, and vote on the additional test day on Saturday. This is the content of the test. "
716Does that mean that students will evaluate each other? Just imagine, students like Hirata and Kushida will get lots of praise and enter the top. Conversely, students who are considered problematic in class or who draw their feet will get criticism and go down her up to a lower base.
717The urgency of this additional exam can be seen on Saturday which is used for rest periods.
718But from Chabashira-sensei's explanation, students who are above and below will be ─ ─ ─.
719"Well, what is this? Is it just content like this for an exam?"
720"Yes, like that ... I already said it was a simple test."
721"How can you judge the success or failure of this test, and the pros or cons of the results?"
722"I'll explain this from now on."
723Chabashira-sensei pressed the chalk tightly, and he wrote it.
724"The focus of this additional exam is to collect the sound of praise and criticism from the results of voting. Top ranking ... that is, students who collect the most votes, will be given special prizes. Special prizes are not personal points. These are classified as special treatment of new systems called 'protection points.' "
725These are the points that I have never heard before.
726Of course, everyone is interested.
727"Protection points are rights that can cancel an expulsion if you drop out of school. Even if you fail the exam, as long as someone holds a protection point, they can cancel the number of withdrawal points accordingly. However, the protection points cannot be transferred to others."
728It's no exaggeration to say, even if what was said was a surprise that had never been heard so far had spread in the classroom.
729"You will understand the magnitude of this protection point, the value is equivalent to 20 million personal points in reality. Of course, in the eyes of high achieving students who do not need to worry about dropping out of school, there may not be such a grade."
730No students think that way. Whoever that person is, surely wants the right first to cancel the expulsion. There are no students who don't want it.
731This is a luxurious gift. No, this is too fancy.
732This protection point seems to be a weapon that has no equal depending on the method of use.
733And because of its luxury, it means that the sanctions that will be given to people who get the lowest vote will be even greater.
734"Then what kind of bad punishment will be imposed on the three lowest people ...?"
735Hirata was worried.
736"No. This will be the object of punishment. Only the person who receives the most criticism in the class. The rest will not receive punishment regardless of how many voices they receive. After all, the subject of this additional test is' choosing someone first, and to determine the most recent one. '"
737"What kind of punishment is that?"
738"This additional test differs from the past. There is a big difference at a certain point. That is, the purpose of this test is to eliminate the situation of 'absence of dropouts' as the cause."
739Of course. students will feel worried about the reason why this additional test is carried out.
740If that is because there is no dropout until now, this means that this additional test is held ───.
741"The difficulty of this additional exam is very simple as I explained. Is it for students with low academic abilities or students who are not good at sports? There are no problems in this exam, but why do schools prepare gifts called protection points? this exam with dropout sentences. "
742Chabashira-sensei's line of sight was aimed at every beneficial student.
743"Well, the lowest rated students will leave this school."
744By voting, the results will be revealed.
745When the results are announced, the first and lowest candidates are decided.
746The lowest student will be issued.
747And this process cannot be avoided.
748No matter how good or not the class is, the results will remain the same.
749There are only differences in the 'who' part to be issued.
750The truth of this kind of exam.
751This additional test is a decision made by the school that is impatient because there are no students who have dropped out of school. But if additional examinations can be overcome in the absence of students dropping out of school, the test will not be meaningful.
752However, Sakayanagi's father, who was the Director of this school, crossed my mind. Even though I couldn't fully understand its nature on the one hand, I didn't think he would make a test that didn't make sense.
753"I, I don't understand what you mean, sensei? If, if someone becomes the last, that means, that ... He will drop out of school alone, is that true?"
754"Yes, that's a situation that will happen to you. But rest assured, even if you drop out of school at that time you won't result in a penalty for the class itself because that is an additional test."
755This additional test is clearly different from the past. In the past, although the possibility of dropping out at a personal level would be different for everyone, there was a way to avoid dropping out of school.
756However, below this extra exam mechanism, there will definitely be victims.
757This is called a 'special case' that the school has prepared for us.
758Precisely because of the risk of being forced out of school the higher it is necessary to match things such as protection points.
759Even to do so must be taken into account. Even so, students will still bear the risk of being unbalanced.
760"I guess that might not make sense. I think of this as a teacher. But since everything has been decided, you can't refuse. You have to follow the rules and challenge this additional test. There is no other way."
761"Is that so !? ..."
762Even though the dark atmosphere rolling in the classroom had just ended after the semester exam.
763On weekends, someone will disappear from this class.
764"The time from polling day is limited. I will continue to explain the rules. Students will receive the sound of praise and criticism in the class at the same time the exam ends. That is, the class will announce it. However, the question of who will vote will never be published and voting will be anonymous, they are not generally exposed. "
765Indeed, if you take the exam this way, you can only do it anonymously.
766It is impossible to express voice appreciation, who will be chosen in this matter, because there will be entanglement in the future.
767"And then, the voice of praise and the voice of criticism will interfere with each other, even if we gather a vote of criticism from 10 people, if we receive a vote of praise from 30 people, it will be equivalent to 20 votes of praise. yourself, and also forbidden to write to the same person more than once. "
768
769"Is it permissible, if we only fill the voice of praise ...?"
770"Of course not. Apart from the sound of criticism or praise, you have to fill in the voices of three people. Even if on the additional test day his physical condition is not healthy and requires him to rest, they still have to choose."
771In other words, it means that writing blank voices or abstentions is not permitted.
772Some students seemed annoyed with this.
773This is a very threatening test for students who believe that they will receive criticism.
774Students who rely on others to pass the exam feel quite oppressed.
775"... No, it's still too early to despair."
776Hirata entertained them and tried to calm them down.
777"Sensei said 'maybe', so there must be a gap somewhere."
778In special exams so far, you can usually find a way out for us from such word play.
779But what about now?
780'Maybe' is representation. The meaning of the expression is not only limited to the method.
781"Although it is not easy to do, there are facilities to prevent someone from dropping out of school."
782"What do you mean, Horikita?"
783"To choose three praises and three criticisms, if all classes can work together and control all voices, students who get the sound of praise and get the voice of criticism can be 0, so nothing will be the last. Isn't it?"
784"Well, that's it! That's right Suzune!"
785"Of course, it is possible to let the whole class follow instructions. However, if you find a traitor, even if there is only one person, someone who has been betrayed by the student at that time will continue on the 'dropout' path."
786However, for the first place, there is a very attractive prize called protection points.
787Even though there is someone who is hated like the case of Kushida and Horikita, this problem can be compensated by some adjustments. Although allowing Kushida to choose Horikita, we can avoid this danger to a certain extent. If the final result of the vote is announced, it will be known who is betraying.
788In short, the traitor will be exposed, so that it is impossible for someone to betray easily.
789"There is no meaning in controlling voting as Horikita said."
790"Why is that, sensei?"
791"This additional test cannot be determined if one person is not chosen as the 'first and last'. If it turns out that all votes are 0 as a result of deliberate voting or by chance, the re-election will take place. Until the first and last position is obtained."
792The school will block the escape routes of students who quickly find ways to deal with these additional exams.
793"Horikita, what you say makes sense. If you happen to get 0 votes, there are contradictions in the re-election. I agree with this, but let's think realistically, in an exam that allows you to choose top and bottom ranks. 0 votes by chance. Isn't that impossible? "
794Chabashira-sensei who showed sharp words also made a lot of sense.
795If we happen to adjust the sound, so that it produces 0 sounds, basically it won't appear top and bottom again.
796"So what happens if the first or the last has more than two people?"
797This case might be considered in depth.
798"Whatever the case, do vote for decisive battles, but even if the vote will be divided again. If this happens, the decision will be based on benefits for the school by preparing a special method. This method cannot be explained at this stage."
799Even though like that, will the school tell us if the last vote from the re-election 'ends the same?'
800The possibility of being hidden there seems very low.
801"No need to worry. In fact, the possibility of you adjusting the sound is almost impossible."
802As I expected, Chabashira-sensei complements.
803"Why? It should be possible."
804"The reason is ... because students who are outside the class will be chosen as the sound of praise."
805"Outside the classroom?"
806"You have to choose a student among the three classes besides your own class which you think should be praised and vote. Of course, this will also be counted as a voice of praise. In other words, even though there are students in the class who are hated by some friends in their own class, but as long as students from other classes have a good impression on them, even if they get criticism, students can still get 80 votes of praise or more. "
807Is it uncertain, that there are more than 100 acceptable praise sounds?
808If that is the case, the possibility of arranging voting to match it is quite low.
809In this case, it can be said that the complete picture of the supplementary test is very clear.
810Additional test. voting exam in class.
811The students will be given three praises and three voices of criticism, and vote in the class to get the results.
812Rule 1
813The sound of praise and criticism will be added. Voice of praise - voice of criticism = results
814Rule 2
815Students cannot vote for themselves, be they voices of praise or criticism.
816Rule 3
817Not allowed to choose the same person more than once, empty votes, abstentions or the like are also not allowed.
818Rule 4
819The test will be repeated until the top and bottom ranks are decided, the lowest ranking will be issued.
820Rule 5
821Each student has a dedicated ballot to choose from students from another class, and is required to choose.
822That is the contents of the additional exam.
823There is no doubt that this additional test is very simple and easy to understand.
824However, it can be said that exam content is the most violent thing in the history of this school.
825This weekend, 'someone' will disappear from this class. The same applies to other classes.
826But, ─ ─ ─
827"Sensei why did you add 'maybe', no matter how you look at it, this can't make a gap?"
828"That's right, there is no way out. However, there is also the fact that there is an element of uncertainty. There is also awareness at a certain angle in your mind. If you use personal points, the situation will be different."
829"That means, using personal points to solve problems from dropping out of school?"
830"20 million personal points, so if you can prepare that amount, it's not impossible not to cancel evictions like here."
831That's why 'maybe'.
832Use of personal points is not limited to negotiation agreements. If you want to change the sound of praise with money, you can even buy it, that's how it is.
833This is also considered as a kind of strength.
834The 'capacity' that I have shown to my neighborhood for one year.
835'Financial strength' accumulates through tests.
836Or through 'team strength' using friendship as a media?
837Schools allow us to play this at will.
838"Please, wait, 20 million personal points ... ..."
839"In fact, it is impossible even though it collects all personal points from all students in class C. Besides that it is impossible to get it from another class or receive it from senior students, so it is impossible to achieve it.
840Indeed, if you can get it from another class, it can theoretically be collected.
841However, if you only collect personal points in Class C, it's very difficult.
842Even between personal points of class A and class B will not reach the goal, even though they collect personal points among their friends. No, even though it's temporarily. If you ask me if I can use it to protect other students, that is a doubtful thing. It is very risky to launch all the assets that we have built.
843"This is the only defense method against the rules of the school, and we state that it is impossible to imitate holes like the rules of the school. After that you may judge, and make decisions."
844Chabashira-sensei ended the explanation to adjust to the time the lesson ended.
845When the teacher leaves, the students become anxious.
846"How to do it. Ah, the worst test will start! "
847"You are so noisy!"
848"What? You said it was noisy! You seemed to want to give a voice of criticism to me now!"
849Men and women mix together, as if watching each other, and they don't budge with each other.
850"Hey, bad."
851When a fight between men and women occurs, a man sneers.
852That is an unusual existence in the class, Koenji Rokusuke.
853"Even if panic won't help here, right?"
854"Is it a position to feel comfortable, are you aware of the problems experienced by the class?"
855Sudou says it and stops in front of Koenji.
856Indeed, so far, Koenji has created a lot of difficulties for the class because of his own style of doing things.
857"Whether it's an exam on an uninhabited island or a sports festival you always go around. You don't participate unilaterally!"
858The eyes of his classmates focused on him.
859At this time, students who are weak in heart are looking for certain people who will be made victims to let them get expelled of school.
860"You don't understand the situation Red hair - kun."
861Koenji stuck out his leg and crossed it on the table.
862"It seems you think that what you developed over the past year is the key to this additional test."
863"That's how it should be!"
864"Not. This is a test to see the next two years. "
865Koenji denied Sudou's comments from above, no, it must be said that it was an opinion in the class.
866"What are you saying ... …"
867Sudou who can't understand this. He thinks of this as Koenji's bullshit.
868"Listen carefully? This extra test is really a 'special case.' Usually, the class that accepts dropping out will be severely punished? But this time nothing will happen. In other words, this is perfect for eliminating 'someone who not required.' this is an 'opportunity'.
869"So, tell me, someone who deleted is you, class burden!"
870"No, you're not right."
871"Ah ... What is your reason for saying that?"
872"Because I'm amazing."
873With an inevitable courage, Koenji said openly.
874In front of his attitude without hesitation. Sudou shrinks.
875"In the semester exam, I'm always on top, no, even among the best. The last semester's exam was also in second place. Of course, if I take it seriously, the first rank is not impossible. And also in terms of physical ability, I above you, this is also very clear to you, right? "
876Koenji tells about his high potential.
877"So, that's why, if it's not something serious. That doesn't make sense!"
878"Yes, I will change my mind, from now on I will be a student who will be able to contribute to the class in the next few exams and I will be a useful student for the class. Don't you think this is a big benefit for the class?"
879"Such a thing, who will trust you! I'm more useful than you!"
880Sudou said that made sense.
881Not only me, but other students have no reason to believe in Koenji.
882Actually, I didn't think that this man would take this extra test seriously.
883No, nothing will change.
884As long as he passed the exam safely, he would clearly live the life he wanted.
885"So, let me reverse the question. Can you believe that he is more useful than me?"
886Koenji grabbed Sudou and asked questions to his classmates.
887"No, this is not just Red hair-kun. I don't think there is a guarantee like this for students who have never been useful before. You have no guarantee to be useful in the future. Same as me, who said it, but what is really needed is hidden ability You aren't accompanied by that, you don't have convincing power. "
888It is said that students who do not have the power will do everything possible to exchange ideas.
889It is also said that students with good skills can exchange ideas.
890Both of them make sense. Koenji said that.
891In this case, Koenji did not doubt that he might gather the voice of criticism to be the last. On the other hand, but he also showed a very welcome view of this additional test.
892However, that does not mean there is no risk in Koenji.
893Depending on the direction of the class, you need to think in accordance with the principles in this additional test.
894However, I also agree with Koenji's thoughts, if I say my honest impression.
895If we think about the future of the class we must think of this additional test.
896There is an opportunity to eliminate students who do not need to class, even if they like it or not.
897In the previous exam, it was very possible that students who performed in some respects but who had shortcomings at risk were excluded from school. Frankly, Sudou is in front of Koenji. His academic ability is one of the lowest in the class, though blessed with good physical abilities. In fact, he was almost dragged down because of his problems in academics and almost dropping out of school. However, after getting help from Horikita, Sudou began to make up for his shortcomings.
898As a result, he began to show its value as a contribution to the class.
899Like Sudou, most people have advantages and disadvantages.
900On the other hand, not many people are harmed, but they are only disadvantaged by deficiencies. Even though everyone has the possibility to grow up, the period of development varies, and the growth rate is different from everyone.
901For this reason we must use this additional test.
902Unfortunately, people who think like that only seem to be Koenji himself in this class.
903"Noisy you, Koenji, I don't think it's necessary, you won't change."
904"How difficult is your inability to understand your friends?"
905"Inability? ... You say you can't. Don't be silly."
906Sudou hit Koenji's table once and glared at him.
907"Well, if that's the problem. You want to judge that as well as your freedom ... but it won't be long before this class falls, you're a bad product."
908Koenji did not keep this in his heart, he calmly combed his drooping hair.
909Sometimes provocative comments that keep repeating will anger Sudou.
910"I'm sorry - ───"
911"Please calm down. You have to talk about this calmly now, right? "
912Hirata intervenes in both of them.
913How many times has he tried to resolve a dispute like this?
914However, Sudou was more enthusiastic and did not have the intention to stop.
915"Stop it, Hirata, you should be fine, because you definitely won't be in the last position."
916"Not-- "
917Ike's words were attached to Hirata.
918Of course, Hirata has contributed greatly to the class over the past year. It is no exaggeration to say that, if he took this extra test as usual, he was one of the safest students. In this additional test where someone must be released, the words of students who are in a safe position cannot touch their hearts.
919"I don't know what will happen to me."
920Even though he denied this, Sudou did not accept his statement.
921"You heard, Kanji? Hirata said that he didn't know what would happen to him."
922"However, only Hirata is safe."
923Yamauchi and Ike smiled bitterly. Instead of being offended they felt dissatisfied, more precisely that they could not say anything.
924That makes sense.
925Nobody thinks Hirata will be issued.
926Even if he gets a few criticisms, he will definitely get a large amount of praise.
927"...! ..."
928Hirata wanted to say something, but he said nothing.
929In addition, additional examinations have just been announced. And the confusion in their hearts hasn't subsided.
930In this situation, they cannot calmly accept what Hirata said.
931"We will continue to argue with Koenji."
932"I won't talk to you again."
933"No problem in this matter."
934Sudou doesn't want to lose momentum. To say the only person who can stop him at the scene, namely -
935"For Sudou-kun it's still too far for that."
936"Ehh ... ..."
937According to Horikita, Koenji is more important than Sudou.
938"Don't be too obsessed just because there is a slight increase in performance in your academics."
939"No, that's not the problem ..."
940"You shut up."
941"... Yes."
942He really controls Sudou in just a few words.
943Horikita ordered Sudou to return to his seat and keep his distance from Koenji.
944"Horikita-san, you saved me."
945"It's not a big problem, compared to the contents of this test."
946In this way, Horikita also left Koenji, and returned to her chair.
947"A difficult job for you."
948"That requires extra effort."
949He sighed and sat in his chair.
950"But ... that's really worrying ... Even though our class so far is unstable, but we always work together. However, forcibly kicking someone here ... this approach is really too excessive."
951Horikita can't do anything in this disturbing room, she regrets it.
952"What would you do? "
953Of course, I understand his feelings.
954"Don't you think?"
955"I have no guarantee since I first entered this school."
956"... Well ... that's uncertain. But, only at that time. However, I feel that the exam this time is very absurd."
957"Well, it's like retaliation for them, because nobody dropped out of school."
958It's not unreasonable to be frustrated like Horikita.
959But this additional test, I can't just be a spectator.
960All class members will bear certain risks. No, I don't care, I'm worried because in this class it's relatively low, I might be the target of criticism.
961To avoid this situation, it is better to prepare beforehand.
962"To be honest, I'm not k can accept this exam. But ... "
963Horikita who muttered like that, I could feel something like a strong desire in her expression.
964Even after that, the class maintained an unstable atmosphere until the morning lesson ended.
965
966
967
968
969
970
971
972During the lunch break, the Ayanokouji group had a meeting in the cafeteria while having lunch.
973"Oh no, this is a very bad development! Must force someone to get expelled of school. What is the school thinking?"
974By holding a straw, Haruka sighed deeply.
975The first to respond to this is Keisei.
976"Agree. But what I can't accept is, classmates should fight with each other. And so far we have always tried to cooperate in examinations, now it's the opposite, it's hard to understand that."
977"That's right. Until now, regardless of any exams in the past, other classes have always been our opponents."
978Keisei also nodded and confirmed it.
979"Because someone doesn't leave school ... It seems like that's the problem."
980Today, students' hearts become restless and unable to calm down.
981The school has conducted additional tests that are not reasonable, and of course there are many students who are not satisfied with this. Now other groups may talk about the same topic as us.
982"Is there really no hidden strategy for this additional test? Luckily, Yukimu's head is very good, have you thought of one or two plans?"
983"No ...? Adjusting the sound was originally proposed by Horikita to distribute the sound evenly. I think that strategy is the only way out. However, according to Chabashira-sensei, this is impossible. Despite these additional tests, we cannot ignore the rules proposed by the school. "
984Keisei tried to find a solution, but he could not find a way to solve the problem. This is also impossible.
985No matter how you look at it, the escape route has been blocked.
986"If no one has dropped out of school, it is the most ideal situation for school - I used to think like that, but I made a mistake."
987"... ... the school is really waiting for someone to leave school ... ..."
988Haruka's expression, which still had a glimmer of hope, had become gloomy.
989"So for this additional test, it's best not to look too optimistic, because there will be very cruel results waiting for us."
990Cruel results, that is, there will be someone who dropped out of school in class.
991The inevitable future is waiting.
992"... On weekends, there might be people among this group that will disappear."
993Airi who didn't speak from the start seemed a little nervous. He shook his head gently.
994He did not want to imagine such a future, this kind of thinking arose from his attitude.
995"Besides welcoming the exam, is there anything you can do? Keisei."
996Hoping that it will eliminate anxiety, Akito asked a question.
997To adjust it, at the same time the Keisei nodded to the group.
998"As Akito said. There must be no leaving school in this group, we have to do something. So I have a proposal to vote for praise in each other in our group?"
999"Oh, I don't think anyone can take the initiative in voting for praise, but it's better to work together to avoid the lowest ranking at any time."
1000Even if only five people work together in this group, each member can get 3 votes of praise.
1001The important thing is you can cancel three voices of criticism.
1002"Well, but, doesn't it matter if you don't choose the biggest contributing students in the class ...? Sensei also said that controlling the selection of sounds like this is futile ..."
1003Serious Airi seems a little nervous.
1004"On the one hand, it is inevitable that there will be adjustments to the voice of the group. Chabashira-sensei and other students are also aware of this. And even if we do not do this, there will be several groups who do this. the vote for a single vote, even if only five of us, can still give five votes to the same person. "
1005"5 votes ... This is very heavy for this additional test, if you can form a large group, isn't it difficult to place 10 or 20 votes?"
1006"That's all. In short, the more you hang out in class, the easier the exam will be."
1007That's right, this is one of the focuses of this additional test.
1008The higher the status of students in the class, the better the trend of elections. Students who have a large status can unite groups to attack certain students, and the sound becomes very beneficial for them.
1009"I also agree with each other in the group. After all, I don't want to see anyone dropping out of school."
1010I offered to go too
1011"Me, me too--"
1012After that, Airi also agreed.
1013"It was decided."
1014All group members agreed, and we nodded.
1015"No, wait, there's something I want to ask you for a moment."
1016Even though Akito agreed with Keisei's strategy, he seemed to be worried about something.
1017"Isn't it true that someone will form a larger group than us?"
1018"Of course that's true. The possibility is very big."
1019Keisei nodded, she must understand this.
1020If Keisei suggests here to guide us and form a large group, then I have to stop it. This is not the best policy in this additional exam.
1021"So, do we have to take the first step to greet other people?"
1022"No ... try not to make a big deal until the end of the exam. No matter who is in the class, no matter what the dispute is. Let's do this."
1023"In short, to avoid being targeted by others, try not to do striking things?"
1024If you're in a hurry to attract attention, it's easy to treat like Sudou and Koenji.
1025"In addition, our group is clearly not suitable for this strategy."
1026"Well - this is the problem."
1027Keisei considered that making a large group with his own hands should be avoided.
1028I'm grateful that everyone agrees with that and Haruka also agrees.
1029In this case, I can think that they will not be involved in the 'strategy' and fall into an unfavorable situation in the test.
1030"But if you are invited by another group personally, I feel it's fine. This is also an important strategy to avoid criticism of the votes chosen for yourself."
1031Even if you choose in small groups, you only need to choose one person out of three votes.
1032It would be better if you could get along with other groups and avoid criticism.
1033"But, isn't that too difficult? We initially gathered because we couldn't get along with other people."
1034That's because we have difficulty integrating into other groups, so we formed this group. He seems to be serious.
1035Well, the Keisei also said this based on an understanding of this.
1036If you are invited, you must accept it, Keisei made such a suggestion.
1037Although this is also the correct answer, it is also a fact that there are several risks.
1038If you increase the group you follow in a hurry, and you will be seen as a cunning person, you might suffer.
1039But I can't find a group that allows us to join.
1040"There are three votes, right? Because I can't be useful in class ... so, maybe everyone will choose criticism ..."
1041Airi was worried that she would be the target.
1042If there is a focused criticism on one of the students in this class, there is almost no way to prevent it. If it's Hirata or Kushida, you can get enough praise to cancel a lot of criticism ...
1043No, it's hard to say. No matter how many groups are formed, it is important to be able to gather votes. Students who must be considered for proper evaluation, and the number of votes received based on this evaluation, will be very limited.
1044"You shouldn't worry too much, Airi. You don't have to do it now."
1045"Oh, um ..."
1046Still no use worrying, and Airi made her face darker.
1047Indeed, a weak character has a negative impact on many places in this additional test.
1048"That's really the worst case ...... Friends must be hostile to each other, and get warnings from each other."
1049"Yes. Ah, but because it's a test, that's all we can do."
1050"How are you feeling Kiyopon?"
1051"I don't think there is a choice but to accept it even if you don't want to do it."
1052Being mature, and Haruka who seemed to nod a little.
1053"Hey, I found something, look there,"
1054Haruka pointed behind me and Keisei.
1055Looking back, there was a man from class D in the field of vision.
1056He obviously shouldn't be in his place around and look very striking. So Haruka will definitely pay attention to it.
1057"I always feel that Ryuuen-kun's situation looks different from before."
1058"He's like a king who looks so good. Now I'm stunned. Seeing his situation."
1059Maybe Keisei hates people like Ryuuen. His tone was strong.
1060According to his attitude and strategy towards other classes so far, this is a natural thing.
1061Of course, Ryuuen should not feel sorry and also not depressed about this situation.
1062"But, this test is very difficult for Ryuuen-kun, right?"
1063Keisei nodded when facing Haruka's question.
1064"This is not something that is difficult to imagine. Isn't this a desperate situation? After all, he has done whatever he wants, and he will definitely gather a lot of criticism."
1065Akito also agreed with that opinion.
1066"Maybe he will be ignored by the class even though he has been trying all the time. This kind of thing will feel futile."
1067"But, isn't he so calm? He reads the book alone ... If it's me, maybe it's already crying ..."
1068With curiosity, Water and Haruka saw it.
1069"He is the type of person who is like that. On this additional test he is isolated by others, no matter how he does evil deeds to other people. Isn't that going to be worthy like a human in the end?"
1070I don't think his thoughts are wrong.
1071However, if he did nothing, actually, there was a big chance that Ryuuen would leave school.
1072"Miyachi, please ask Ryuuen-kun? What's his mood like now?"
1073"He is difficult to ask ... ..."
1074Even though it looked calm, there was no change from its hidden aura.
1075If you hurry to ask, we don't know what kind of counterattack will suffer.
1076"Stop looking at him."
1077"Okay, Miyachi."
1078Akito reminded, then Haruka gently raised his hand and answered.
1079"Back to the class C topic, about what Koenji said, how did you see it?"
1080Akito asked Keisei.
1081Maybe Keisei had considered this problem, so he immediately answered it.
1082"I think it will be left if you have the skills, right? Well, even though there are some truths, I still think that Koenji is a student who is not needed in this class. That man always creates confusion in class, to be honest is terrible."
1083Indeed, in Keisei's view, which is reluctant to take risks, Koenji's existence cannot be estimated by calculation.
1084"And ...... Even though these words might sound heartless, but the object is Koenji, then I don't think it hurts. He's really easy to choose as the object of the sound of criticism, no matter how you look at it?"
1085"Well, that should be fine, if someone has to write his name, you can do it without hesitation when writing."
1086"Uu ... ... Even though Kouenji-kun is a strange person, but the results of his exams are always extraordinary, I think he contributes more to the class than me."
1087While Airi is worried, she tries to say that and defends Koenji.
1088"Every time we hold a test presentation, I think Keisei-kun and Koenji-kun are amazing ... ..."
1089"Even if it's not good, Airi ... If you don't decide at a certain time, you will only suffer?"
1090"Yes, but ..."
1091Even so, Airi has strong resistance to bring down others.
1092"In my opinion, maybe I can choose Kouenji-kun."
1093"I don't mind either."
1094Do they agree with the policy? Haruka asked Keisei for advice.
1095"For now, let's do this. After all, you have to choose three people and make adjustments to the situation."
1096The Ayanokouji group temporarily included Koenji as a candidate for the vote of criticism.
1097Regarding whether it is necessary to kick Koenji, of course there are various opinions.
1098Even from my point of view, a man named Koenji is at great risk.
1099It depends on Koenji's actions, there might be a huge negative impact.
1100However, Koenji has talent above this, and this is a fact. If he can challenge the exam and the topic positively, he can basically finish it well. Even in the current situation even though he could not see the upper limit, he had enough power to make him think like that.
1101"I don't hate it ... but it's hard to say good or bad, Koenji."
1102The reason why Akito gave a criticism of him was like that.
1103It seems that his existence cannot be measured, but in rumors, he is too excessive.
1104"Apart from him ... There are also Ike-kun, Yamauchi-kun, and Sudou-kun. Will these people be added to the candidate's vote of criticism?"
1105"Well. Now it seems, the four of them, including Koenji, are very likely. There are many candidates who drop out of school, but I don't think they will welcome additional exams by just being silent. They will form large groups to gather votes and try their best to prevent getting a lot the voice of criticism. "
1106"We're not even in a safe area."
1107Yes, the test has begun. This is a battle to make friends and build common enemies.
1108"After hearing this conversation. I can't imagine that all class members are still friends until this morning."
1109Akito imagined the future and took a deep breath.
1110Haruka looked back at Ryuuen.
1111"Fortunately, there are more than one candidate to be issued. It's better to avoid dropping out of school than not."
1112It seems that precisely because of the understanding of the status quo of class C, Haruka can understand how difficult Ryuen's situation is from class D.
1113If targeted by the majority, there is nothing that can be done.
1114"What are you doing if ... Miyatchi or Yukimu are in Ryuuen-kun's position?"
1115"What can I do? There's no point in fighting with the whole class. You won't be able to fight them."
1116Akito immediately gave up.
1117Keisei seriously thought about this problem, but he shook his head after bebewhat a moment.
1118"Impossible."
1119"Isn't it possible, for example, what about threatening the whole class?"
1120"That will only be counterproductive."
1121It's better to say that some students might expect this to happen.
1122Those who are threatened without hesitation, will be able to criticize Ryuuen.
1123"Will he appeal to another class to get a voice of praise?"
1124"If Ryuuen-kun asks you, will you give him a sound of praise?"
1125"Oh, I want to know? I shouldn't choose."
1126That's all, Keisei nodded saying that.
1127"Most people will make judgments like this. After all, everyone knows Ryuuen's normal attitude. There should be only a few opportunities that will help that person."
1128"Well, why doesn't he give bribes and buy votes from classmates?"
1129"Even if Ryuuen practically has a lot of personal points, I'm not sure he can buy a lot of votes. To be honest, he not only has many enemies, but also a man who is troublesome in the impression of many people. I feel there are few people who will vote to him for personal points. "
1130"But, isn't there a chance to get a vote of praise from other classes?"
1131"No, it's very difficult. Even from the other class's point of view, if there's no Ryuuen in class D, it will be easier to fight with them."
1132"Ah -... maybe that's right. I don't know what he will do to us. It feels terrible."
1133This is why Ryuuen is in a difficult situation. If he only troubles his class, it is possible to gather a sound of praise from other classes to prevent it from being issued. However, the enemy also believed that Ryuuen was an existence that was very difficult to deal with, so many of them wanted to let it go. If intentionally allowing someone who can cause a threat to remain, no matter whether it is inside or outside will disturb.
1134There may be some students who take into account the future, or firmly believe that Ryuuen is the savior of the class, but from the material we have now, this part is undoubtedly a minority.
1135Even if Ryuuen and some people exchange contracts on paper, and agree to choose one another, then it is difficult to prove that the other party has really fulfilled the contract. Because voting is anonymous, all members can lie to 'give to him' as long as there is a voice of praise. Even if there is a dispute and a violation, as long as Ryuuen can withdraw from school, it will only happen after the exam.
1136And before that, anyone who wants to exchange contracts with Ryuuen is also a problem.
1137"Yes, will it disappear completely?"
1138"He put all his strength into a calm gaze. After all, it's too bad to fight because he doesn't want to get expelled of school."
1139"Really ... it doesn't look like someone who was once a king."
1140Despite feeling sorry, Ryuuen's release was a predetermined problem.
1141Of course, if he himself is still trying to fight, the situation will be a little different ...
1142But no matter how we discuss it here, we cannot get an answer to that question.
1143What exactly is he thinking, only he himself knows.
1144"So, how about trying?"
1145Someone came to talk to us, and the other party's voice was very close to my ear. That's Horikita.
1146He carried a plastic bag in his hand, from where we could see sandwiches for lunch.
1147"What do you mean trying?"
1148Akito who was worried about his words said so.
1149No, I have to say that he felt something disturbing.
1150"There is no choice but to ask her what Ryuuen-kun is thinking now."
1151"Stop, the snake will come out of the bush."
1152Nobody wants to approach Ryuuen.
1153"No problem. "
1154"Even if I'm stuck here with Ryuuen, that doesn't make sense. He has nothing to do with this additional test."
1155"Yes. That doesn't really matter to us. But that might be useful for my responsibility."
1156Horikita said that, then paused for a moment.
1157Seeing me not moving, he did not take long to step on his own.
1158"Will it be useful ..."
1159Keisei and Akito could not understand this and tilted their heads because of something difficult to understand.
1160"Hey, isn't that a little bad? Isn't Horikita-san, in danger?"
1161"I also think so ... Kiyotaka!"
1162"... ... That's right, I will go to see."
1163Even though I don't think there is a problem, it's better to have someone to live with.
1164Every time we talk about Horikita, no matter how good or bad it is, he will say it frankly.
1165I stopped Akito who would wake up and pursue Horikita from behind.
1166"What will you say to Ryuuen?"
1167"I think he might be able to provide useful inspiration for me."
1168Useful inspiration? I can see what Horikita expected from Ryuuen.
1169But because he took action, it must have meaning.
1170"Are you asked by Sakura-san to see my situation?"
1171"Exactly."
1172"Oh, I see."
1173Even though we gave each other brief question like this, Horikita's steps did not change.
1174And soon we will arrive in front of Ryuuen.
1175Even though he should pay attention to us, he did not see us and continued to read the book in his hand. Looking at the page he opened, it seems like it's a literary novel.
1176"You're really calm, Ryuuen-kun."
1177"Who do I think it is. It turns out that you are Suzune, and the carp poop is with you too?"
1178Ryuuen put down the book. Seeing the stamp of the book I realized that it was a book borrowed from the library.
1179Needless to say, goldfish droppings refer to me. Even though he looked briefly, he did not open his eyes at once and turned to Horikita.
1180"What are you looking for?"
1181Why does he want to contact Ryuuen even if he gets a risk?
1182"I will ask directly. What will you do with this additional test?"
1183"Nothing can be done, I won't do anything."
1184"I mean ... have you done a good job getting out of school?"
1185If he doesn't care about the current situation, then there's no need to say anything, Ryuuen will definitely come out.
1186"For the people in the class, I am a good target. In the tests that have to kick someone, no one wants to take the initiative to bear the hatred of those who will be kicked. But I'm just different."
1187Maybe because the contents of the conversation were not worth mentioning, Ryuuen reopened the book and read it.
1188"There will be many people who will vote for your criticism. Even though there should be many students who feel guilty, but they are still far less mentally sued than other students."
1189Apparently, Ryuuen seriously considered leaving school.
1190"If you drop out of school, I have nothing to say. No, not just me. Whether it's Class A or Class B, there may be many people who want you to disappear. Whether it's good or bad, you've been overkill. Nothing that will help you. "
1191He tells the truth.
1192Saying that at the moment is a strong blow to those who understand this fact.
1193However, this did not cause damage to Ryuuen.
1194He understood everything himself and then he really accepted everything.
1195"I think it's the same thing. Class D doesn't have the chance to win after I drop out of school. For you as an enemy, the best and judge what is most appropriate is to defeat me here."
1196He emphasized his contribution not in the negative direction, but in a positive direction.
1197"Your evaluation of you is quite high, Ryuuen-kun. But because of your lack of ability as a leader, you fall to Class D?"
1198"Kukuku, that's true."
1199Class D stands out from the Ryuuen dictatorship.
1200Now that this system has collapsed and their class has fallen to the last place, they have lost the chance to get back up.
1201However, Ryuuen's policies were initially not bound by class rankings. Whether it's class D or class A, if he holds a large number of personal points, he can change defeat to victory. That's why attacking what's under it won't work.
1202Even though Class A was in the most advantageous position, it had no value in Ryuuen himself.
1203Ryuuen's strategy is looking forward. That's an interesting way to fight, but there are some disadvantages. He pushed forcefully and he did not ask his classmates to understand. He looked too forward and couldn't see his legs. This is the reason why he failed this time and fell into the current situation.
1204"No matter how far I go, I won't understand you."
1205"Yes, are you satisfied?"
1206Even though I heard that Horikita said many things, I still didn't understand what she wanted to know ...
1207"Because today's conversation with you might be the last, can you tell me something?"
1208It seems that after this is the point.
1209For Horikita, what talk might be a useful inspiration?
1210"You're in a situation where you feel more desperate than others. If you try hard to challenge this test ... Can you avoid dropping out of school?"
1211He looked at Ryuuen with a sharp look, as if to say, 'Look at my eyes, then answer me.'
1212This is the reason why Horikita spoke with Ryuuen, who did not want to be involved.
1213He wanted to ask Ryuuen, whether he could break through the 99% situation which was difficult to overcome the non-actionable exams from school.
1214"A stupid question, it's easy, right?"
1215Ryuuen immediately gave an answer. As long as he still wants to stay, he has this belief.
1216There was no doubt in his eyes when he saw Horikita.
1217"Even if it's just a bluff, it's still yourself. I can't feel anything other than your trust. "
1218"Are you satisfied? Or do you want me to tell you a secret about a strategy for survival?"
1219"There is no need for this. I am different from your position."
1220"Right. "
1221"Thank you. Looks like I understand a little more."
1222"Are you sure you understand?"
1223Horikita nodded.
1224"This additional test will definitely have students dropping out of school. This is an unavoidable destiny. So, it is necessary to judge correctly who should drop out of school, and then make that decision. I don't know if you don't understand the weight of my words."
1225Ryuuen laughed, and did not answer.
1226"The results of your struggle may be because you are excluded by class."
1227"If it really becomes like that, then that means my strength only gets there."
1228"Hearing this snapping, I feel in vain."
1229"...! ..."
1230Even though Horikita calmly spoke to Ryuuen, but Ryuuen peered into his calmness.
1231No, I have to say that he pushed his hand instead of seeing it.
1232"You should plan to gain trust from me ... but you only gain trust and awareness on the surface."
1233Ryuuen's words made Horikita worried.
1234"It's very difficult to decide who to spend."
1235"... I can do it ... I'm not interested in students dragging their feet from the start."
1236"You won't be able to do it."
1237"For you ... what do you know?"
1238"Before, there was enough time to observe, to know your background and your attitude was obscured by the words you said."
1239By negotiating words, Horikita has no chance of winning.
1240In the middle of the sentence when 'he will decide a bit of his mind'.
1241There was a little silence until Horikita said 'I can do it'.
1242Ryuuen immediately noticed what other people couldn't pay attention to.
1243Horikita's low awareness is not as usual.
1244The rhythm is entirely on Ryuuen's side.
1245"You've been immersed in warm water in class. You can't get someone out of class. Once you turn into this, you can't treat the class cruelly. Only those who are cruel can do this from the start, and who don't have attachments to class from the start. Like Sakayanagi who uses his classmates as part of a chess piece. "
1246A person who does not form friendships makes sense to the class after forming this relationship.
1247Of course at the beginning of the reception, Horikita did not hesitate and think positively to let Sudou come out taking the red dot. But now, can he get Sudou now? If so, the answer must be 'no'.
1248"Even though you say extraordinary things, you still have no way to get expelled of trouble."
1249"Why do you think that?" Ryuuen answered.
1250"Are you defeated by your classmates or defeated by someone from outside the class ..."
1251Horikita turned her gaze towards me for a moment, but immediately switched.
1252"After all, will you shut up and get expelled of school as a loser?"
1253Horikita deliberately throws words to provoke.
1254However, Ryuuen calmly accepted it.
1255"This is a gift for Ishizaki as the person who defeated me. I will mature to appreciate this 'gift', so those in class D will not lose this opportunity, and will not miss it."
1256Ryuuen said with a smile, then looked at the book again.
1257"... Well, I will be careful not to vote for you, even if my classmates make a mistake. Of course, even though I didn't do something like that, it wouldn't be a problem."
1258Because Horikita left Ryuuen, so I followed her. Ryuuen still looks at the book and doesn't see us anymore.
1259Horikita, who started walking, looked annoyed and angry.
1260"He's a loser, I can't stand it. He can't fight to get results, but he just bluffs and lies. No matter how he struggles, he will come out."
1261"It's hard to say. He might have a way to break through difficulties."
1262"Impossible. No matter what you think, Ryuuen-kun has no way to avoid dropping out of school. Even if he starts to lower his head and become a serious person, the voice of criticism given will not decrease, and the sound of praise will certainly not increase. "
1263"Yes, if you do it the usual way you can't."
1264"It's futile trying to threaten or use personal points. Do you want to talk about that?"
1265Of course. I listen carefully.
1266"Or, did you see what could make Ryuuen-kun not drop out of school?"
1267"No, not at all. "
1268I play using an abacus in my head, but I still don't have a strategy to survive the current situation.
1269The parts needed to survive here do not exist.
1270"Then that's true."
1271Horikita left the cafe in annoyance.
1272I look back to Ryuuen once more.
1273If I confront Ryuuen before ...
1274"No, it doesn't make sense to think about it now."
1275There is no point in thinking about students who will leave school.
1276I stopped thinking about it and returned to the group.

1301 
1302That night, Kei called me.
1303Most of them are additional exam questions.
1304"Say, what should I do for this additional test?"
1305"Have you started forming groups around you?"
1306"Well, there are several. There are 7 girls in my group."
1307Kei calls them including himself.
1308Some of them have good relations with Kei.
1309"Of course, everyone is afraid to come out. To be honest, me too ... I don't know how many people hate me."
1310"It's not surprising that you receive a number of criticisms."
1311"Even though I told you, but you should lie at the moment, and say 'no'."
1312On the side of the phone, Kei seemed to be a little angry at me.
1313"Now you have to try not to make yourself too conspicuous and suspicious. Honesty is the best policy. Too obvious, it is likely to be a candidate to be issued."
1314"I understand, I will find a way to not offend others."
1315"It's okay. But in this case, breaking up with Hirata might have been a positive thing for you."
1316"What?"
1317"Hirata's popularity for girls is very high, if you keep on dating Hirata, there might be students who intend to force you to drop out of school and force you to leave."
1318"Wow, this is terrible. But it's really possible ..."
1319Because of anonymous voting, one can take bold action.
1320"... You will be fine, because your presence is very thin, your grades are also average."
1321From the point of view of many of my classmates, I have no use being praised or criticized.
1322"Sometimes it's good not to stand out."
1323"But to get rid of the rival who was chasing Horikita-san at school, would Sudou-kun give you a critical voice? Well, that's if he thinks like that."
1324"Maybe. "
1325Because it is necessary to write the names of three people, no matter who they are, they will receive several voices of criticism.
1326"Now the situation in the classroom is really ridiculous, the stupid trio and Kouenji-kun are very bad?"
1327It seems that Kei's group also has the same thoughts.
1328"Even though they are the worst, but that is still unknown. Now, Koenji is not very lucky."
1329"After all, he's not the type to form groups to adjust the sound."
1330"Yes."
1331What is clear is that Ike, Yamauchi and Sudou will form groups to support each other.
1332On the other hand, Koenji is a loner and without support. A bullish attitude - it's also easy to make enemies.
1333On the first day of the additional exam, he debated each other in front of the class with Sudou. This will also have a negative impact on him.
1334"What will you do, who will you criticize?"
1335"Even though I haven't considered it, but I will choose people who are not needed for the class."
1336"How cold are you, Kiyotaka."
1337Because someone will definitely drop out of school, it can only be assessed like this.
1338"Ah, really ... aren't you referring to me?"
1339"It's impossible. You're very important in class."
1340"Of course, that's certain, right?"
1341His reaction seemed a little embarrassed and surprised.
1342"If you hear students in groups, who determine candidates to drop out and start voting critically, you should contact me if you hear it. I'm very difficult to get this information."
1343"OK."
1344I ended the call from Kei.
1345Even though I say that I want to eliminate those who are not needed in the future, this is just my personal thoughts.
1346Because I didn't actively deal with the class, I didn't mean to interfere in manipulating the vote.
1347In the end, how many groups are formed and what results are made. I intend to accept it honestly.
1348Of course, if the spark falls on me, that is another matter.
1349In short, the possibility of dropping out of school for Ike, Yamauchi and Sudou is not low. Then there is also Koenji.
1350If you see girls, Inogashira, Satou and Airi, who have poor learning abilities, are not in a safe range.
1351However, the group will gradually form later, which means that factors other than the results will greatly influence the election. Isolated and isolated Koenji, who is weak and has few friends, is also easily the center of attention.
1352"How will this develop next?"
1353I will gather information and prepare for unexpected events, and then pay attention to voting trends.

1373DIFFICULTY SAVING.
1374 
1375After waking up in the morning, I checked my cell phone.
1376When I fell asleep, the conversation of Ayanokouji's group had taken a big step forward.
1377Because additional examinations were announced yesterday, it is not difficult to understand that they are discussing this topic.
1378[I feel filled with anxiety.]
1379In particular, Airi's attitude that was worried about this problem could be easily seen from the chat log.
1380If someone in a group is the target of an attack, the situation becomes very complicated. However, I do not know how much I will be involved with this problem, and it is difficult to handle. Although it intends to be ready to search for information around Hirata and Kei, this is not absolute.
1381Even if someone is threatened or placed by force, it is possible to change the object to be filled in the last minute. There is no 100% way to avoid the center of criticism.
1382No matter what method is used, one must bear a certain level of risk.
1383After replying to the chat, I discovered that Keisei had made an interesting proposal. I saw the beginning of the proposal.
1384[Some people in the group will go to school to gather information early in three days, starting tomorrow?]
1385[We are a small group, and this idea is very good. I agree with Keisei's idea.]
1386[That's a good thing, after all, I'm very concerned about what topics will appear.]
1387[I agree.]
1388[Tomorrow I will leave early, and tell you. ]
1389We agreed that we had reached that conclusion. Even though I have mentioned it, the read marks on cellphones are generally displayed late, so they will integrate their opinions after getting first approval from me.
1390[I understand.]
1391I thought the information did not come just like that, but it was better than doing nothing.
1392As a battle, this action is easy and its development is worth looking forward to.
1393Because this interaction happened at night, maybe now Haruka was already in the classroom.
1394From this situation, other people will learn early, and I don't need to do anything.
1395We will make choices in three days. In other words, at the latest, it may have to determine policy today, and focus on who will be given a voice of criticism. In short, it would be very beneficial if the Ayanokouji group could obtain information in the morning activities.
1396On the other hand, I waited for reports of the movements of the girls from Kei and looked for information that might be obtained through Horikita or Hirata, in the neighborhood around Sudou.
1397It is important to store information at an early stage.

1403
1404PART 1
1405 
1406Even so, I got used to it when I was here.
1407I have lived in this hostel for a year.
1408"I don't feel the time travel is the same as before."
1409The feeling will be different depending on whether it feels good or not.
1410To be honest, when I study this theory, I don't really understand what that means.
1411For me, every second before entering this high school is the same.
1412But now it's different.
1413Obviously, the speed of life now matches the pace of life in recent years.
1414There are still two more years to graduate.
1415When thinking about this, it's really strange to feel that the graduation day will come in the blink of an eye.
1416"Good morning Ayanokouji-kun."
1417"Oh, good morning Ichinose"
1418In the morning, when I walked out of the dormitory, I heard Ichinose's voice from behind. Maybe he also walked out of the dormitory almost at the same time as me.
1419However, I don't know why, but right now Ichinose looks a little stiff.
1420"Hmm?"
1421He did not approach me, but he was trapped in the same place while maintaining his greetings.
1422"Is there something?"
1423After I said this, Ichinose approached with a stiff motion, as if he had escaped from a movement-limiting spell.
1424"Well, um, it's cold today, right—?"
1425"Yes."
1426Every time I spoke, a white breath came out.
1427"Are you planning to go to school with someone?"
1428"No, not at all. Basically I'm alone in the morning."
1429"Well then ... Can you go together?"
1430No matter whether it is male or female, no one will refuse to be asked by Ichinose.
1431I nodded and agreed.
1432"............"
1433"............"
1434When two people are together, they will usually start the conversation. But we are just silent, only each footstep can be heard. After a while, Ichinose walked a little behind me.
1435So I decided to try to talk about this additional test topic.
1436"Isn't this exam very difficult for class B?"
1437Compared to other classes, Class B has outstanding cooperation and good relationships between classmates.
1438It is very painful to have to decide which students to take out of them.
1439"Ah ~ ... um, yeah, I think this is the most difficult test so far."
1440"I think so too."
1441Ichinose's expression looked gloomy on his face.
1442Ichinose, who is the central figure of the class, really is in a safe zone.
1443Like Hirata and Kushida, they are students who can be assured of graduation in this exam.
1444That's why having to decide someone's exit is painful.
1445It's enough just to see, appreciate criticism and ignore it all, so that it will make it more comfortable.
1446Even though someone can even adopt such a strategy, but Ichinose ...
1447"Even if the exam is troublesome, don't you have to do something?"
1448"Yes, I guess."
1449"... Yes ... I have no choice but to do something."
1450After saying that, Ichinose walked beside me.
1451He smiled a little.
1452"No way ... Do you want to get expelled of school, Ichinose?"
1453"Eh, didn't I say something about that?"
1454Although he seemed to deny this, it could be seen from his eyes.
1455The attitude that he shows makes people feel that 'he is willing to put himself as a choice.'
1456"I'll say a few things, your classmates won't easily write your name."
1457"Even though I'm not saying that I have to get expelled of school, it seems that in Ayanokouji-kun's eyes, this might happen."
1458"It looks on your face. You also show that expression."
1459"Is that so?"
1460Ichinose tried to control himself in a hurry.
1461Is it natural or intentional?
1462This is like the first time.
1463"Ha ... I want to keep this a secret from everyone."
1464"Will you sacrifice yourself for them?"
1465"I think this is a little different. I have to fight the risk myself."
1466Is this a battle where he has to accept the risks himself?
1467That means he doesn't plan to take easy choices to solve it.
1468"I don't know very well. At least, I'm not going to convey words to other students, if I intend to leave school?"
1469Even though it is better than telling someone else in advance, it should not be expected to be revealed.
1470I can't imagine a student going out of school smiling.
1471"Right now we don't need to say that anymore. This is not the first thing other people want to hear. Also, Ayanokouji-kun is a Class C student. No matter what kind of test, there will be a part that we cannot do together."
1472"I think so. "
1473If there is anything we can do, it is only related to the discussion about the sound of praise.
1474If Ichinose can get a voice from another class, he can handle the exam.
1475However, Ichinose is not necessarily a student who will need a voice of praise. Besides that, he doesn't will not easily buy the sound of praise with points. So I won't suggest anything.
1476Even if he can get a voice, it can only be used as luck, and it's not of much use.
1477"Even in this case, the school is very terrible. Allowing someone to drop out of school, even if they can get the sound of praise from other classes, there is still someone who has to go."
1478In the end, before the class increases, someone will drop out of school. No one welcomes this kind of test.
1479"Ayanokouji-kun, are you going to be alright?"
1480"It's hard to say ... I'm not a student needed in class."
1481"If you don't mind, I might be able to help you."
1482"You mean?"
1483"The sound of praise for the other classes I have, I can place it in Ayanokouji-kun."
1484He raised the topic of the unexpected vote of praise.
1485"Even though it's only one vote, it might be useful ... ..."
1486"I feel grateful for the offer, but it's not necessary. I'm not someone who deserves that vote."
1487"There is no such thing. I think that this is the right choice of sound in this test. Sounds of praise for other classes. Surely, it must be given to Ayanokouji-kun who saved me."
1488What he said made me difficult to respond.
1489"I understand. Then, if there is a problem, I might ask you a question."
1490"Yes, I will remember it."
1491Saying that, Ichinose laughed.
1492"Good morning Honami."
1493A voice like that was heard behind us.
1494"Good morning, Asahina-senpai."
1495"You're very excited today. By the way you two are different in class, right? It seems you have a good relationship?"
1496"Eh, yes, we are good friends ..."
1497Ichinose answers a little embarrassed.
1498"Oh ~? Friend yeah ~"
1499If he says something normally, it won't cause a misunderstanding.
1500"Oh, forget it. Can I borrow Ayanokouji-kun?"
1501When Asahina approached me, I wanted her to let Ichinose leave first.
1502"I understand. Ayanokouji-kun, I'll go first."
1503Without the slightest resentment, Ichinose lowered his head and followed his senpai's request.
1504"Sorry Honami, see you again."
1505"No, there's no need to apologize. I'll go first."
1506There was nothing strange in the conversation between the two.
1507It is more appropriate to describe the relationship between senpai and kohai was well built.
1508"He's a good kid. Funny and smart. Nobody in the second class said anything bad about Honami."
1509"Yes, even in class one he is popular among men and women."
1510"Did you take his heart?"
1511It seems that he judged Ichinose's attitude to be difficult to understand.
1512"Nothing like that."
1513For now, regardless of any class, I have to shorten the time I spend with Asahina as much as possible.
1514If he was seen by Nagumo's subordinates, he would be suspected. If there is something you want to say, I want to hear it quickly.
1515"If there is something for me, I will listen."
1516"That's all, really boring. Because I saw you and Honami was busy talking, so I have something you want to listen to."
1517Asahina who looked happy until just a moment ago, now that smile disappeared.
1518"I heard about first-class supplementary exams. Letting someone force their withdrawal from school?"
1519"That is how it is. "
1520It seems that it is also a topic among second grade students.
1521"I mean, Honami is very attentive to his friends. You have to understand that he won't be easy to let someone from Class B drop out of school?"
1522"Yes. I thought that even though he didn't say it, he was very worried about the Class B's future."
1523Even though he said it in the usual way, he gave clear thoughts.
1524"Okay, what do you think he is fighting this test?"
1525While Asahina looked into my eyes. He looks more than just curious.
1526At this time, it might be just counterproductive to put forward some opinions.
1527"If it is based in principle not to let a friend drop out of school ... Class B must collect enough personal points. Then look for ways to cover up the shortcomings to redeem someone from dropping out. This might be the process."
1528"Yes, the answer is correct ... well, that's the only way."
1529If this is the reason for canceling school dropouts, anyone can reach this conclusion.
1530But no one can do it.
1531It's very difficult to think of ways to get 20 million personal points.
1532"He seems to be asking for help from us. Then you can guess how I answer?"
1533"Do you answer right away?"
1534"... the right answer."
1535From the point of view of this development, there is no other possibility.
1536"I listened to it first, but can't you easily lend personal points?"
1537Even if class B has a large number of personal points, it still has the disadvantage of covering it up.
1538"Of course, it's impossible. If there are thousands or tens of thousands of personal points, the situation yes it will be different, and still have room for discussion. But, tens of millions of personal points, no one can give it. "
1539Asahina answered without hesitation.
1540"Whether it is third grade or second grade, they must fully prepare for the special exam that will await them soon. Their personal points will also be used in the end, and clearly that will be needed until the end. In this case, no one should lend it to the class one. "
1541I think so.
1542Because of that, Chabashira-sensei made such words - if someone could do it, everyone could do it.
1543Even if you can get a little personal point from a senior student, you can't get tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of personal points. Although there are also ways to pay, it is not possible for third graders to graduate. Even if you get a loan from second grade, you can still assume that a large amount is impossible.
1544"If there is someone who can meet expectations, he is the student council president Nagumo."
1545"Yes, after all, he keeps a lot of personal points."
1546"Then?"
1547From the developments so far, the results are clear.
1548However, from the doubts that appeared slowly, I was worried that was conditional.
1549"Don't be in a hurry. I'm in his class, so I'm suspicious of the act of suddenly lending points to his kouhai. Of course, Honami is a delightful kouhai, but in this test he will never give up. Of course, is that so?"
1550"Yes. That is to prevent anyone from dropping out of school, and then formulate this strategy."
1551"So, I personally don't want to lend it. Of course, this is also a consideration for my class ... but the most important thing is that Honami really needs it."
1552"Are there conditions that demand, or are the flowers very large?"
1553"He, gave Honami personal points with the conditions ... to date him."
1554"I understand. "
1555Talk about Nagumo.
1556Is that demanded by personal loan conditions?
1557In general, no one will agree to this condition, and it's normal to immediately refuse. However, if it was to protect the class, Nagumo knew that it was possible for Ichinose to accept it.
1558"Saying this to me, isn't it a problem?"
1559"I said it, because this is for my own class. If Miyabi lends a lot of personal points to first grade students, then we will suffer too, and Honami will also produce bad memories of protecting her friends. This is not good, right?"
1560"Maybe like that. But why did you say this to me? I'm in Class C, and we compete with each other."
1561"I don't know. But if it's you, maybe you can do something."
1562"You're exaggerating me ... I can't cover the deficit in another class."
1563If I can replace Nagumo to lend personal points, everything will be different, but it's not easy.
1564"I think so, after all, you guys are opponents ..."
1565Too stupid to help the opposing class, to save a student from dropping out of school. In addition, to get millions of personal points, it is necessary to combine all personal points in class C. This is absolutely impossible.
1566"I can't do anything."
1567"No problem, I won't hate you even if you don't do anything. I just told you while begging. I guess I might have to bet."
1568Asahina, patted my back hard, before leaving.
1569"In short, I have already told you. I will tell you again later."
1570After saying this, Asahina no longer stayed and ran towards the school.
1571Judging from his tone and attitude, it seems like it's not a lie.
1572"Is he dealing with Nagumo?"
1573However, this is not what Ichinose will do, but it is his strategy.
1574Of course, if that is the case, the appearance of the victim can be prevented. This is a method of fighting that is possible when the class unites to cover a large deficit. However, from Asahina's attitude, the condition of the relationship seemed quite difficult. If he didn't hate interacting with Nagumo, it would be safer to borrow personal points before Nagumo's mind changed.
1575However, it is very difficult to make an immediate decision when dealing with the opposite sex.
1576If it's a problem that I can help, it's fine, but about the matter of personal points I can't do anything.
1577I'm worried that he needs four or five million deficiencies. That is outside the scope that can be helped.
1578Even though it's more profitable to leave your friend, but what did Ichinose think about when he placed such conditions?
1579"From the character ..."
1580It's not difficult to imagine what will happen in the future.

1600In this additional test, it is not easy to communicate in class.
1601The atmosphere in the classroom was terrible, and there was even a feeling of tension.
1602"Good morning Kiyopon."
1603"Good morning. "
1604I welcomed Haruka back, and sat in my chair.
1605I did not feel the energy from the expressions of the students who had arrived at school.
1606'Who should be criticized?' This kind of thinking disrupts class relations and makes it difficult to maintain normal relationships.
1607This condition will continue until the additional test ends. Even after the additional exams are completed, it will continue for a while.
1608[The atmosphere in the classroom is really gloomy.]
1609This message was sent by Haruka to me.
1610[Are there specific topics?]
1611[Nothing at this time. But, I think I'm worried!]
1612Besides, I don't know where the news will come from the classroom.
1613Don't talk to other people in a hurry.
1614[I hope tomorrow will progress.]
1615[Yes.]
1616After making this brief communication, I no longer operate my cell phone.
1617We don't let ourselves stand out or interfere with the class. Wait until the storm passes.
1618It would be nice if classmates could allow us to have such sweet ideas.

1641During lunch, I visited the library.
1642Even though I'm satisfied playing with members of the Ayanokouji group, it's also important to take action separately. And in the library I have friends who like books like me.
1643As I expected, today Shiina Hiyori also came to the library. I let out the book casually, and sat down to start reading while assessing whether I was interested in borrowing it. He immediately spoke to me.
1644"Hello Ayanokouji-kun."
1645Some people will only rest for lunch, and it seems like he immediately realizes my presence.
1646He also held a similar book in his hand.
1647 
1648"You like books as usual."
1649"This place is a good place."
1650Hiyori asked permission from me and sat next to me.
1651We read calmly.
1652For students who initially like the library, additional talks are not needed.
1653The act of reading itself can also be considered a kind of dialogue.
1654In this way, until the end of the lunch break, we spend all our time reading.
1655About thirty minutes or more.
1656"It's almost time to go back now."
1657"Yes."
1658After raising his head to confirm the time, we both left the library.
1659"By the way, Hiyori, there's something I want to ask."
1660"What is that?"
1661He did not know what I was going to ask, and looked at me curiously.
1662"I want to know Ryuuen's situation."
1663"Ryuuen-kun's situation, yeah ... To be honest, it's not too good."
1664"Did he become the first candidate to drop out of school?"
1665"Yes. Almost everyone in the class has decided to choose Ryuuen-kun."
1666"Did Ryuuen himself accept it?"
1667"I don't think there's a mistake. In fact, recently, after school, Ryuuen-kun often went to the library. I talked to him several times, so I know this very well."
1668When I saw him in a cafe before, he brought books borrowed from the library.
1669I think he is often associated with Hiyori. That's why I came here to confirm it.
1670"What do you think of him, Hiyori?"
1671"It's a pity that on this exam, it's impossible to avoid dropping out of school, so we were forced to accept that someone would leave school, including myself. But from now on I will be more concerned with class D, because I think Ryuuen-kun's presence is very necessary for class. ... "
1672He has several opinions about Ryuuen and acknowledges his abilities.
1673If I think about it, it seems like Ryuuen didn't treat Hiyori in a careless way.
1674"Sorry, I asked this question. Somehow the status of class D ─ ─ ─ ─ ─"
1675I stopped here when I said this.
1676"No - I might not want Ryuuen-kun to leave school."
1677I shouldn't have come here today.
1678But, after all I wanted to know Ryuuen's situation, that's why I came.
1679"A friend is better than someone else."
1680 "... Yes."
1681Feel a little weird. Remembering Ryuuen is my enemy.
1682"That ... ..."
1683"What?"
1684"Maybe I shouldn't say it like this ..."
1685Even though it seemed difficult to say something, Hiyori continued.
1686"Please, Ayanokouji-kun, don't leave school ... ... I don't want to lose my dear friend again."
1687"I will try well."
1688I thanked Hiyori's attention and we returned to our respective classrooms.

1702The heavy atmosphere in the class did not change until after school.
1703I don't know whether Horikita didn't pay attention to this atmosphere, she calmly prepared to return as usual.
1704It's hard to overcome this additional test alone. Usually other people will think of wanting as many friends as possible. However, Horikita did not show such enthusiasm.
1705Even if he uses reason for supervision, only Sudou will vote for praise.
1706Say that ...
1707I recalled the way Horikita talked to Ryuuen yesterday.
1708If he thought about what Ryuuen wanted and what he lacked, he could see his strategy.
1709It seems that he wants to overcome this additional test in a different way from the others.
1710But that is not a simple way.
1711However, if it can be achieved, it is according to his wishes. In this case, I thought that the strategy I described in my mind was the same as the one Horikita was thinking. Then let him find the right person.
1712I turned my gaze to my classmate.
1713Imagine what Horikita thought about these students in her eyes.
1714"It's very rare, you don't ask for advice from me. Are you ready to take the exam?"
1715Until yesterday, I intended to confirm whether there was a change to Horikita.
1716"Even if I ask for advice, you won't answer it honestly."
1717"Maybe."
1718It seems that Horikita gradually began to understand, 'I won't give advice easily'.
1719"This is not a test that can be easily asked for classmates' help."
1720"But, many other students are obsessed with forming groups to gather praise."
1721"Those who do that only do what they want."
1722Horikita arranged her books and stood up from the chair.
1723"Then what will you do?"
1724"I will do what I can."
1725Horikita left this sentence and left the classroom.
1726I was a little worried and chased after Horikita.
1727"What?"
1728It seemed unpleasant to me to chase him from behind, and he frowned at me.
1729"I'm a little curious about what you planned."
1730"You usually don't want to be involved with me. Why did you do it this time?"
1731Why ?
1732That's because I'm curious about the strategy that Horikita will do.
1733If that can be achieved, I think I'll support everything.
1734But I didn't say it right here.
1735"You don't join groups. If there is a problem, I can help you."
1736"I see. Do you mean to worry about my situation? If I say please help me, then, will you let me join your group?"
1737"For us, increasing the number of people is not a problem."
1738"Even though I'm very grateful for your offer, please allow me to refuse. Now the person I want to look for isn't you."
1739He meant he had decided on his own idea.
1740However, the material is hard to come by, pushing it to anxiety.
1741I'm not suitable to fill the lack of 'responsibility'.
1742"You are really ... ..."
1743He looked at me stronger than before.
1744"What is wrong?"
1745"In short, don't worry about my business."
1746He warned me so hard that I nodded and stopped.
1747Even if I follow Horikita, it will only provoke his anger.
1748After seeing Horikita move away, I saw a view of the corridor from the window.
1749"I have to go too."
1750"Can I bother you, Ayanokouji-kun."
1751When I leave, Hirata comes to me, is she from behind?
1752From the time, maybe he was waiting for me to part from Horikita.
1753"If you have time, can you come with me for a while after school? I have something to say."
1754I rarely received an invitation from Hirata and there was no reason to refuse.
1755When I nodded in response, and Hirata let out a sigh of relief.
1756Hirata who spent one day in a tense atmosphere, seemed very exhausted.
1757Of course, I can see that the subject of this conversation is related to this additional test.
1758"Okay, how about 4:30 at Keyaki mall, can we meet near the south gate?"
1759"I understand. "
1760We make an appointment.
1761It seems like it's not something that can be said here.
1762After all, students who participated in club activities and returned to the hostel also passed by here.
1763Today I also have the intention to meet Keisei after school, so I tell them it will be a little late. Because Hirata seemed to be talking to her classmates for a while, I decided to go to Keyaki Mall first.

1790Exit the classroom, walk towards the entrance.
1791On the way I met Sakayanagi Arisu from class A.
1792There is also the figure of Kamuro beside him.
1793"Ayanokouji ... ..."
1794Kamuro who was alert to his body became stiff.
1795However, Sakayanagi did not change as usual, his movements seemed relaxed and calm.
1796Clear contrast between the two is quite interesting.
1797"It's a coincidence, Ayanokouji-kun or maybe not."
1798"Yes, is there something that requires you to come to class C?"
1799I can see that they intentionally came to class C.
1800However, Sakayanagi did not answer the question directly, and ignored my question with a smile.
1801"Where are you going?"
1802"I plan to meet my friend at Keyaki Mall, 4.30."
1803"You really enjoyed your high school life. If you can, can you take time for me?"
1804Sakayanagi took out his cellphone and saw the time at that moment.
1805Does he really have to come to see me? No, it's too difficult to imagine.
1806Time is past 4:10, even if it takes a few minutes to go to Keyaki Mall, there are still more than 10 minutes of free time.
1807"Isn't it a problem with telling stories?"
1808"Yes. But here we are a little striking. Let's find another place to talk?"
1809"OK."
1810I don't want to be as flashy as possible.
1811I don't care if it is with classmates, but because Sakayanagi has a high profile, the attention of others will be centered.
1812Because Sakayanagi also understood this, so he proposed to move to a quieter place.
1813In connection with the slow pace of walking Sakayanagi, we spent a lot of time around the school building.
1814"Even so ... Ayanokouji-kun, Masumi-san, don't you think that this extra test is so absurd? Since no one dropped out of school so far, they forced us to leave school. It's weird if you think with common sense. , that the school will do it. "
1815"Yes, I feel that Mashima-sensei, who is always calm, is also a bit shaken."
1816It seemed that it wasn't just Chabashira-sensei, but the other teachers also couldn't understand this additional test.
1817"There is a reason for this."
1818"What? Do you know something?"
1819"Although this is a personal matter that is difficult to talk about, but my father's suspension was decided a few days ago."
1820"Suspended ... Isn't your father the director of this school?"
1821Kamuro who knew the information, asked Sakayanagi.
1822"I didn't hear it in detail, but there were a lot of bad things for my father. As far as I know my father would not do anything dirty. Of course, 'as a daughter he also doesn't know.' Even though it can't be ruled out. It's also possible that someone has done various ways to overthrow my father. "
1823On the surface, he said that to Kamuro, but actually he said that to me. If Sakayanagi's father is truly innocent, it's not surprising that the man is involved.
1824The impression that I have about Sakayanagi's father is not a misunderstanding.
1825"However, this is a story that has nothing to do with students, it's just chatter."
1826It seems that for Sakayanagi, the fact that his father was forced to be suspended from his duties was not something he deserved.
1827"But what does that have to do with this additional exam?"
1828"To let someone drop out of school, can you think of this extra test hurriedly prepared?"
1829"For whom?"
1830Kamuro looked at me once. And then he returned his eyes to Sakayanagi immediately.
1831"Even though I've tried hard not to care about it so far, but why are you so curious about Ayanokouji?"
1832As I walked, I heard Kamuro say it was next to Sakayanagi.
1833"Oh, haven't you ever cared before?"
1834"Of course I don't care."
1835In the face of full denial of Kamuro, Sakayanagi's face seemed to know everything.
1836But he did not enter deep into Kamuro's heart.
1837"Can't you agree with the reason? Just because I've known him for a long time."
1838Sakayanagi answered Kamuro who was curious.
1839Because he hasn't revealed anything so far, it's a pretty open answer.
1840Kamuro also thought about it in search of answers from peering at my reaction. If I accidentally panic here, and suddenly interrupt the dialogue between Sakayanagi and Kamuro, then this topic will reveal as my weakness.
1841Yes. Even though I don't really care about that.
1842"That means you are back at this school again? The possibilities are very low."
1843"Yes, the probability is very low, but it's possible, isn't it? Ayanokouji-kun."
1844"Maybe like that. "
1845Even though I had never seen Sakayanagi before, but he was not wrong.
1846The fact that Sakayanagi knew me unilaterally.
1847"So, is he a very difficult person to deal with? Sorry, I can't see him at all."
1848Because Sakayanagi goes deep into the topic, Kamuro also talks more about topik.
1849They do the same way.
1850"As far as I know, it's very deep. You haven't asked me so far."
1851Because he is often in contact with Kamuro, he also has many thoughts of his own.
1852Sakayanagi may not be able to completely suppress his curiosity.
1853"Anyone will think about it. Because you never told me until now."
1854"You are someone who is not too interested in other people's business and doesn't like to interfere. So I have no doubt asking you to watch over Ayanokouji-kun. I can't help it."
1855Sakayanagi's expression seemed a little surprised and looked very happy.
1856I thought that his attitude was to peek at my reaction, but because Kamuro's reaction was also very interesting, so a few questions arose.
1857We have achieved our goals during their conversation.
1858"If it is here, there will be nothing to disturb when we speak."
1859It's a special building so after school, it's really quiet.
1860"Then, Masumi-san, I'm sorry, can you go back to the dormitory first?"
1861It seems like he just wants to talk to me because of that he let Kamuro go.
1862"... Ah, really?"
1863In the end, Sakayanagi tried not to talk to me deeply, but he seemed to have decided to make Kamuro back first.
1864Kamuro had long known that it would be like this, he walked down the stairs without a fight.
1865"Why ?"
1866"Well, if I accidentally leak something, won't it be a problem with Ayanokouji-kun?"
1867"No problem. "
1868If I let him see that I have a problem here, it will give him a chance.
1869I don't need to disclose additional information to Sakayanagi.
1870"On the one hand, I am known as your enemy, so I will accept it."
1871No matter what reason I make this kind of response, this is not a question that should be considered Sakayanagi.
1872"You don't hesitate to let Kamuro come back and ask me to talk. What do you want to say?"
1873Because it takes time to move here, there isn't much time left to talk.
1874I urge him to go straight to the point.
1875"It's about the agreement between me and Ayanokouji-kun."
1876"If this is an agreement between 'me and you who decides to bet on the next special exam.' Then now is the time. "
1877"Yes, I intend to do that at first ... But if Ayanokouji-kun allows, I want to do it next time. This test is not a class fight, but between classmates. I can't attack with a voice of praise ... ... Don't you mind doing it on the next special exam? "
1878He meant he told me that on this exam he couldn't prepare a game scenario.
1879"Can you accept this request?"
1880"You may decide for yourself."
1881Sakayanagi thanked him kindly for my quick decision.
1882"Thank you very much, I wonder what should I do if you tell me that 'the exam is still a test.' So I can concentrate on Class A's internal situation without worrying."
1883"Then?"
1884"Because of the truce, so to get your true trust, I will tell you. In this test, I will never make you get the negative element of Ayanokouji-kun, like, the voice of criticism in this test to you."
1885He said that and promised me with his commitment.
1886"If I have some kind of intervention in Class C, which causes damage to ayanokouji-kun ... You can immediately judge that I am defeated. You can also refuse the next fight."
1887"If on this exam I receive a criticism, there will be no fight on the next test."
1888After all, I also don't want to drop out of school.
1889"That's right. In general, just relax, I just want to say this."
1890His statement so far is too polite, but it can be an action needed to gain credibility on my part.
1891"Maybe before you fight with me, the people below you will betray you."
1892"Oh, please don't joke."
1893Most of the students in Class A are the Sakayanagi faction.
1894They will not make a move to 'make their leader disappear.'
1895"When this additional exam was announced, I had decided who would be excluded from school."
1896"Have you decided who you want to get rid of once the assessment has been made?"
1897Because he has the power to dominate Class A, he can take this approach.
1898"So, when will you tell other students?"
1899"I've been dealing with it for a long time. If I haven't said this to anyone to choose someone. In the end, it will cause anxiety. So I tell them, so the other students in the class will be more relaxed?"
1900This is inevitable for students who will drop out of school.
1901However, Class A did not fall into confusion.
1902"Do you know who that is?"
1903"Who knows? There's no clue."
1904Even though I say This limat, I already have a clue.
1905"That's Katsuragi-kun."
1906"Is it right to choose it?"
1907"He is a former leader of class A who confronted me before, because in an organization there are no two leaders needed."
1908Katsuragi is a calm and kind man.
1909Maybe when he studies the contents of the exam, he should realize that he will be sacrificed.
1910It seems that he did not put up any resistance and accepted it well.
1911Although there are some students who continue to follow him like Yahiko, but they are outnumbered.
1912"As someone who contradicts him from the start, I think he already has the terms to be issued."
1913In class A, in terms of ability, Katsuragi was ranked top.
1914I felt that it was very unfortunate to get him out, but apparently he was not needed by Sakayanagi.
1915"Among my friends, there are quite a lot of people who hate it. They don't seem to agree with conservative views. In this case, letting him go will raise morale in the class."
1916It seems that it was intended to reduce the class's fighting strength in order to improve the overall morale of the class.
1917"Are you just saying, who is the target?"
1918"Ayanokouji-kun shouldn't do anything in the shadows to protect him."
1919Doing so might not get the results commensurate with that effort.
1920"What about class C plans?"
1921"I don't know. I didn't participate in anything and I intended to leave it to my classmates."
1922"So what you say is just to exclude people who are bad and have low abilities."
1923Sakayanagi looks very happy to be immersed in his imagination.
1924"Only class D, who doesn't need to think about it, they will choose Ryuuen-kun."
1925Everyone does not object to this.
1926Especially in class A there is no point in helping Ryuuen.
1927Even if he wants to end the contract with Katsuragi, he will still come out.
1928"What I can't see is class B. They in the class have a good relationship, who will be sacrificed to drop out of school? This is the part that I look forward to most in this supplementary exam. Or maybe Ichinose thinks of something interesting. "
1929"Sorry, it's time for me to leave."
1930Thinking about that is Sakayanagi's freedom, but I want him to do it when he is alone.
1931"Well, for now, the conversation is over, the next special exam will start next week."
1932Clonk - the stick rang.
1933Only for a moment, Sakayanagi's line of sight was directed to the surveillance camera installed there.
1934(T / N: there's a reason Sakayanagi looks at surveillance cameras)
1935If he doesn't look at him, he can't detect his delicate behavior.
1936Is it a coincidence that the line of sight falls on it, or is it intentional? I can't make a judgment.
1937"Win or lose, we will determine it on the next special exam, and then let's do it at that time. This is a promise."
1938I nodded slightly and left the special building.

1957There are not many shops that can be used for meetings after school.
1958In most cases, they will meet at a cafe in Keyaki Mall, but today is different.
1959"Thank you for coming today."
1960"It's no big deal, I also want to talk to you Hirata."
1961"I'm very happy to hear you say that. Then, should we go?"
1962After meeting at the southern gate, Hirata seemed to confirm the situation around him and started walking.
1963"Sorry Ayanokouji-kun, can I change the place a little?"
1964"Why?"
1965"Can we talk in my room after this? I think if it's there, I feel more calm."
1966"No matter where we go, I'm fine."
1967"Thank you. "
1968Apparently, the shopping center is currently not the right place.
1969Because he did not want this conversation to be heard by anyone.
1970On the way to the hostel, we began chatting casually.
1971"After one full year, first class will be finished. What do you think about Ayanokouji-kun?"
1972Hirata exhaled and then looked at the ceiling.
1973"It's a very tiring year to go to an uninhabited island and participate in a study group."
1974"Well, this is really tiring, but I'm also happy. From the beginning of school until now, I feel that my trusting relationships with classmates has been well established."
1975"Yes, I also think like that."
1976I do not deny this. Even though there are many people in the class who hate each other. However, enemies from enemies are friends, and that is the reality. While they are forced to work together, things gradually begin to develop.
1977"Really ... ... there's no problem until this additional test starts."
1978Hirata's expression became gloomy.
1979"Do you want to talk about this topic?"
1980"Well, sorry, I know very well that Ayanokouji-kun doesn't want to talk about this topic."
1981I will not be actively involved with any exam.
1982Ignore the Horikita character, who always asks for cooperation on each exam.
1983Interestingly, this test was completely reversed.
1984Horikita didn't come to rely on me, but Hirata came to rely on me.
1985Recently, Horikita may have grown.
1986He also realized that I would not work together. In this case, he also relied on me.
1987"In this additional test, I can't think of a good solution, no matter how many times I think ..."
1988"Several times ... …"
1989When I looked closer, Hirata had dark circles under her eyes.
1990That's because he thought too much about the exam at night and couldn't sleep well enough.
1991"It's hard to do it. The more often we think of classes, the more painful it will be. Initially just because of thinking about an exam like that."
1992"Hey?"
1993"No, please don't mind."
1994If I am not careful in this matter, I will let Hirata fall into the deepest darkness.
1995Staying silent now is the best.
1996"If you have a way to help the class, I hope you can tell me."
1997Apparently, my reaction made him wrong and thought that I already had the answer.
1998"Collecting 20 million personal points, is this not possible?"
1999"I also tried counting it, but I couldn't reach the number. Yesterday, I talked to the senpai at the club, but the senpai will also have a special exam in the near future."
2000"Can't they give points for help?"
2001"Yes ... ..."
2002However, in order not to have victims, the method of rescue that can be done is very limited.
2003"Sorry, this time, I really can't think of anything else. But if I have a way out, I will definitely tell you Hirata."
2004"Yes, thank you."
2005This is the best answer I can make now.
2006Hirata tried to smile and say thank you.
2007This additional test is a very difficult but very simple test.
2008If you change the point of view a little, nothing will be released.
2009However, it was not seen by Hirata.
2010This is a test to 'eliminate unnecessary students'.
2011We can think of goals when hearing this additional test content.
2012Of course, I don't know 'who will be released', but what matters is not 'myself'.
2013However, this test is different for people like Hirata.
2014He cannot decide to choose 'who' will leave school.
2015He's like being in a maze and can't see the exit.
2016"Ayanokouji-kun, is it strange to think that I don't want anyone to drop out of school?"
2017"Of course the best is that no one has dropped out of school. However, in this additional test, this thinking is very difficult to achieve."
2018"Of course, that's true. But there must be something—"
2019"Because I really know you Hirata, can you sleep well at night?"
2020I interrupted the story.
2021"That ... ..."
2022When we walked to the dormitory door, we fell silent.
2023Because we saw several students chatting in the lobby.
2024But the problem is elsewhere.
2025Our eyes are fixed to a man sitting on the sofa in the lobby.
2026"Aren't you Ayanokouji-boy and Hirata-Boy? This is a coincidence."
2027"Koenji-kun, how are you? Are you waiting for someone to meet?"
2028As soon as we entered the hostel, he noticed us.
2029"If I want to meet someone, are you interested in that?"
2030Koenji returns questions with other questions.
2031"That might be unusual."
2032"I don't hate honest people, but unfortunately, I didn't make an appointment with anyone to meet here."
2033Even though he answered this question, he did not say what he was doing here.
2034Koenji is usually not someone who rests in a place like that.
2035"Let's go?"
2036Hirata stood in front of the elevator door and was about to reach the elevator button.
2037Then a sentence comes from Koenji behind.
2038"You must try your best to pass the test using your mind and wisdom."
2039"Kouenji-kun, it seems like nothing has changed from you as usual."
2040Hirata asked a little worried about his attitude.
2041The tip of his finger stopped right before touching the button.
2042"In this exam there is no need for me to change."
2043"Is that so?"
2044Hirata rarely gets hooked.
2045He turned and looked at Koenji. Of course, he would not make such a move to look at other people.
2046Always calm and stable.
2047"You said that in this exam there is no need for you to change, but you need to make changes compared to others. No? I'm worried, if classmates choose Kouenji-kun as a target."
2048That is a form of concern for Hirata and warned him of several threats.
2049Those strong words embraced the desire to work with him.
2050If Koenji is interested in working together, even if only a little, it will expect it.
2051"Don't worry. What you have to do is your job as a class center, right?"
2052However, Koenji still did nothing - he did not intend to change his style.
2053"Even if I have something you can't do. I can't fulfill your expectations."
2054"There is no such thing."
2055For Hirata, who was not confident, Koenji had strong hopes.
2056Can this be felt by this man?
2057Koenji rose to his feet, and leaned slightly on Hirata's shoulder.
2058"When your injured partner licks at each other, make sure to throw out unnecessary trash."
2059The moment when Hirata heard Koenji's words, he pressed the elevator button hard.
2060"... Ayanokouji-kun, let's go."
2061"OK."
2062Hirata's tone of voice, which is usually stable so far, contains a bit of anger.
2063There is garbage in his classmates.
2064As Koenji said, Hirata cannot continue to be frustrated.
2065When the elevator door was just closed, Hirata spoke again.
2066"Fuu ... I'm sorry ... I showed something that wasn't supposed to be."
2067"I don't care, Koenji does have some problems."
2068Hirata smiled softly and lowered her head down.
2069"I also showed my frustration. I myself knew that it was not realistic to ward off school this time. Therefore, even though I said that on the surface, I had given up somewhere in my heart from the beginning."
2070Immediately I arrived at the floor where Hirata's room was, and we walked out of the elevator.
2071"Please come in."
2072"Excuse me ..."
2073This was the first time I entered Hirata's room. The interior decoration feels like my room, basically simple, with a little fragrant aroma inside.
2074Although there are some beautiful scenery, it is a neatly arranged room, a very simple style.
2075"Please sit down, do you want to drink coffee?"
2076"Sorry to bother. "
2077"No problem, I invited you."
2078I usually often act as a host to entertain guests, so this situation makes me feel a little different.
2079"This is a continuation of some time ago, but ..."
2080While he prepared coffee for me, he talked to me from behind.
2081"Is there really no way to save everyone in the class?"
2082"I don't know, maybe I can't think about it."
2083I respond in the same way as before.
2084Knowing that this would be the answer, Hirata accidentally looked for another solution.
2085I think this sentence can calm him down, but I don't expect it to be counterproductive.
2086"If you can't think about it, I don't think anyone else can do it."
2087"Your evaluation of me is too high."
2088I don't know, since when did my evaluation increase in Hirata's eyes?
2089"Since saving Karuizawa-san, I feel that you contributed the most to the class."
2090Hirata spoke when she looked through my mind.
2091"I hope you can save me."
2092Hirata gave me hot coffee.
2093"This is a fact, even though you would politely refuse to admit it."
2094No matter what I say, it won't work.
2095Even if I deny it with words, Hirata won't agree now.
2096It seems better to change the subject a little here. Even though I think In this way, Hirata seems to know my mind.
2097"A test that has to get someone out, it's not something I can try to understand in this way. Even if no one wants to let classmates go."
2098"I also understand your problem, but you have to be able to change your mood. After all, weekends will get answers."
2099"Say, Ayanokouji-kun ... ... do you think someone should leave school?"
2100Hirata looked at me with a peeping look.
2101It was a pair of eyes that looked like soft eyes, but seemed to contain other meanings.
2102"Not. "
2103Maybe it will be considered neutral, but actually I believe in reality. Although some students hope to stay, no student whose name must be left behind. Discuss with classmates, and decide who will eventually be released as a result. That is the answer.
2104"No matter who goes, you can only accept it."
2105"You're very calm. Compared to me, you're more suitable to be a class leader."
2106Hirata, who has taken the initiative as a leader to improve the class so far, but the words that come out contain despair.
2107I have no special way.
2108"What should I do? How to deal with this exam?"
2109It's not easy to send suggestions, but often Hirata helps.
2110I want to do something to him, but ...
2111"I don't want you to do what I say without thinking about it, but I will still say what I think."
2112"Yes."
2113"Thinking of saving everyone, it's not wrong. You are very disturbed by thinking of 'who should go' now, and I still can't get an answer."
2114Hirata was upset, but he finally nodded.
2115"Then, why don't you try to think in the opposite direction? Think about this: not from the aspect of 'leaving whom', but considering 'who should go'?"
2116"Who should go? Of course everything will be -----"
2117"You have to rank everyone by priority, including yourself from top to bottom. Of course, there might be students whose priorities are almost the same and can't vote. Even so, you should try to arrange it, just follow your choices. Sort students too good, like based on students who have contributed in class. "
2118By making such a classification, the lowest students will be seen.
2119"That, but ..."
2120Yes, this is a very simple problem.
2121But Hirata could not do this simple action, and it bound her heart.
2122He thought that ranking students was stupid.
2123"Even if I make a ranking, my mind doesn't always match the thinking of everyone in the class."
2124He used this reason to continue running away.
2125If it stays like that, what she's waiting for is an additional test day that welcomes her without protection.
2126"No problem, I think you should draw conclusions for yourself."
2127That's the only suggestion I can say to Hirata, now.
2128Then, based on what decisions Hirata will take, he will see for himself.
2129I have to say thank you for the coffee he made.
2130I feel that the bitter taste is stronger than the coffee I bought.
2131"Yes, um. Maybe you're right. I feel like running away now. This kind of thinking fills my heart."
2132Hirata listened to my advice and tried hard to understand.
2133This will not work directly. He might want to spit out that thought.
2134But he is still struggling to urge him to digest that thought.
2135"Fuhh ... Oh, thank you."
2136Hirata thanked him for the words.
2137I will ask for the first time.
2138"May I ask something a little strange?"
2139Suddenly I changed the topic of the exam and tried asking what I was interested in.
2140"Well? What?"
2141"After you break up with Karuizawa, has anyone admitted?"
2142"Unexpected question, I don't think Ayanokouji-kun will ask me something like that."
2143Hirata's face was a little surprised and confused.
2144(T / N: Of course Ayanokouji's question can be a misunderstanding. Wkwkwkwk)
2145The reason I'm asking Hirata is because I think of Mii-chan in the same class. Before the semester exam ended, he consulted me because he liked Hirata, I was very curious about his development. Has he acted?
2146"Even though I can't name the person, someone has indeed confessed to me."
2147In other words, there is a girl who has started to confess to Hirata.
2148Is that person Mii-chan? If he says it, Hirata can't accept it.
2149But popular men are extraordinary. Even if he doesn't do anything, he can still get girls. No, Hirata is a good character. One will not ignore that.
2150"Have you started dating that girl?"
2151"No, I don't plan to be dating anyone now. "
2152He said it firmly.
2153"Is there someone you like?"
2154If he doesn't want to accept anyone other than his life, I can understand it.
2155"Even with whom I date is not a luxury for me now. I don't have the qualifications for that."
2156"If he's with Hirata, it's talking about dreams."
2157To start a relationship, no qualifications are needed.
2158"I'm not someone like that."
2159The better a person is, the simpler.
2160The fewer abilities a person has, the more arrogant they become.
2161In the end, I didn't go too far on this topic, and I ended the conversation.
2162
2163PART 7
2164 
2165"Sorry, I called you out at this time."
2166At eleven o'clock at night, I invited Ichinose to my room.
2167It's not surprising, Ichinose will refuse, but he doesn't show rejection.
2168"It doesn't matter at all, but it's not unusual to get an invitation from Ayanokouji-kun."
2169"Because I have a question I want to ask. If you don't mind, sit in bed first, the floor might be cold."
2170Ichinose answers thanks and sits on the bed.
2171"I feel a little bit nervous ..."
2172"What?"
2173"Oh no, it's okay, but why don't you ask on the phone?"
2174Why, huh? I used a kettle to boil water and take a white glass.
2175"Because there are many things that cannot be heard clearly through the telephone. So, there is someone who wants me to confirm this."
2176"I understand. "
2177"I will say it right here. What will you do for this exam?"
2178"Sounds like a continuation of the topic this morning? I'm thinking of not leaving school and passing the exam ..."
2179"Have you thought about it specifically?"
2180I looked back and saw him trying to ask.
2181Of course this is like socializing.
2182I know that there is no other way than to use 20 million personal points.
2183"Well, unfortunately not ... but when it's almost gone, I feel anxious."
2184From his words and attitude, I could not see the essence of the things he was hiding. When a special test on a cruise ship, I was also impressed by him because of using an unexpected poker face. He is very good at this.
2185"I wonder if you are asking for the help of the student council president, Nagumo."
2186"What kind of help?"
2187In the face of mental unpreparedness, someone will panic, and they will ask again as usual.
2188But after listening to my next sentence, the poker face cannot continue to be used.
2189The water boiled, and I handed him hot chocolate.
2190"Thank you. "
2191"This extra test is different from what we have done before. It is impossible to pass completely. The only exception is to get 20 million personal points, even if it is Class B, it will not reach 20 million personal points. In this case , you need help from a third party. "
2192Ichinose who lowered his eyes to hot chocolate, sighed lightly.
2193"It's okay, Asahina-senpai also knows this case, but I didn't expect, she would tell Ayanokouji-kun."
2194Apparently, the reason why he couldn't hide it was because I knew about it.
2195"That means, you also heard about the requirement to fill that lack of personal points that isn't enough?"
2196When I nodded, Ichinose smiled bitterly.
2197"In this case, I'm like a fool, right?"
2198Other parties will borrow points on condition of dating. He also seriously considered this condition. This is the purpose of what he said.
2199"Nagumo-senpai said that the contents of the transaction must not be disclosed. If I disclose it, the transaction will not be made. It will be fine because Asahina-senpai has revealed it."
2200"Don't worry about that part."
2201"But, that story has nothing to do with Ayanokouji-kun, isn't it ...?"
2202"Yes."
2203This is a class B assessment, and was decided by Ichinose himself.
2204"How many deficiencies?"
2205"About more than 4 million."
2206When combined, by adding 4 million personal points, so that someone cannot leave school.
2207"That's a bad condition."
2208"Yes, it's almost impossible for someone like me to borrow something like that from Nagumo-senpai. In general, even if he can lend it, I'm in the position of asking for help."
2209After listening to it, I knew what he was thinking. He will not let someone be expelled in Class B. That is why he decides to prepare for sacrifice.
2210"Maybe this is the only way to save all students in class B."
2211"I see ......"
2212Whatever is said here, I can't help it.
2213Only personal points can help Ichinose now.
22144 million personal points is not something that is easy to prepare, even if you have saved money.
2215"Oh ... you're worried about me, right?"
2216"You might think I'm a stubborn person."
2217"Not at all, I'm very happy."
2218Even though he answered this question, his expression was slightly gloomy.
2219"But it might be somewhat dubious ... ... if I don't say it to Ayanokouji-kun, I might be able to make a more decisive decision."
2220After a while, the chocolate will slowly send cold to his mouth.
2221"... What do you think of Ayanokouji-kun?"
2222"Did you ask for this transaction?"
2223"Yes. How do you see what I'm trying to do?"
2224Ichinose looks into my eyes.
2225I will answer positively in his view.
2226"It was media that Ichinose could only use so someone would not leave school. The strategy gained personal points, and made an agreement with the student council president Nagumo. Using this condition to reaching 20 million personal points is one of the right ways. "
2227"You don't hate me?"
2228"I don't hate it. But to be honest, I can't judge whether it's worth paying 20 million personal points to save classmates."
2229"... ... is that so?"
2230After a while, Ichinose slowly drank the chocolate again.
2231"Hey Ayanokouji-kun."
2232Ichinose keeps looking into my eyes.
2233"What?"
2234"Are you possible ... ... someone truly extraordinary?"
2235Even if he said that I was an extraordinary person, I didn't know how to react.
2236I just said what I heard from Asahina.
2237"What makes you think that? Sorry, but that's something I didn't realize."
2238"If you think that, it's even more extraordinary, because of Ayanokouji-kun ..."
2239He stopped talking.
2240"Is there something?"
2241"No, it's okay."
2242It seems like he doesn't know what he wants to say. As if his mouth moved before thinking.
2243"... ... What is that ... …"
2244(T: N: those who read the SS must understand)
2245Ichinose is like asking yourself to answer a question.
2246Even though it was difficult to come, he received the call.
2247Ichinose will act to protect Class B no matter what happens.
2248I can recognize him more.
2249After getting into trouble constantly, he will finally make a choice.
2250He chose to date Nagumo.

2259 
2260BROTHER AND SISTER
2261 
2262The third morning after the additional test was announced.
2263Voting will take place on Saturday, the day after.
2264In the near future, one of my classmates will be expelled from this school.
2265When I opened the room door, cold air pierced my body.
2266I walked out of the hall to the lobby on the first floor, I saw Sudou's figure appear from the side of the stairs.
2267"Are you walking up the stairs?"
2268"Well, I hope it's a good muscle exercise."
2269This is also part of participation in his club activities. Maybe Sudou lives his school life better now.
2270We both walked together to go to school.
2271"Even though I'm stupid and angry, but now I'm quite satisfying. So I definitely won't drop out of school."
2272Not that he told me, but he felt like he was talking about himself.
2273"If you want to stay at this school for yourself, it doesn't matter even though people will hate me. Do you think my mind is wrong?"
2274"No, isn't that right? People who are strong-willed to stay will survive the test."
2275"It means. "
2276When I came to school, I felt something strange when I entered the classroom.
2277Sudou immediately went to his chair regardless of anything.
2278The atmosphere in the classroom has changed.
2279Even if I say badly, I'm not insensitive.
2280When I entered C class room, I felt a different atmosphere from yesterday.
2281This is a natural sight before me.
2282Yes, my friends naturally chat with each other, they talk to each other and laugh together.
2283This is the real situation of the 'weirdness'.
2284Until yesterday, everyone in the class was very vigilant and valued each other.
2285Today, they have a strong sense of unity.
2286"Good morning Ayanokouji-kun."
2287Hirata came to greet me.
2288"Good morning. "
2289I made a brief response and peered at Hirata's appearance.
2290"Is there something?"
2291Did he not realize it, or did he pretend he didn't pay attention?
2292Hirata looked into my eyes with an ordinary expression.
2293"No, nothing."
2294"Really? Please help today."
2295Hirata finished his greeting and went to the girls who were calling.
2296However, my sense of incompatibility felt increasing with the increase in student arrivals, over time.
2297The conclusion that can be drawn from this situation is that this implies that large groups have been formed in the face of this additional test.
2298This is not a matter of who should be protected, but who should be chosen to be expelled from school.
2299Currently there are 11 students in the classroom. If 10 people, except Hirata, join together to give criticism, the targeted people are in a dangerous area.
2300Its members are a number of boys led by ike and Yamauchi.
2301And some girls who have relationships with them.
2302It is possible that people here might have joined together to form large groups.
2303However, it is strange that there are people in the Kei-centered group.
2304I have not received a report from Kei.
2305"Good morning. "
2306Soon, Horikita also arrived at school.
2307Even though there was no change in his attitude and calmness, he looked around.
2308"... ... What happened?"
2309"Do you feel it too?"
2310"Yes ... it doesn't feel good, if you're worried, ask them what happened?"
2311"Leave it alone, you better not disturb them if it doesn't bother you."
2312At least, you don't have to confirm it carelessly.
2313[What changes have occurred?]
2314I sent the message to Keisei, who had arrived earlier.
2315[I don't know, however, I feel something different from yesterday.]
2316Even though he didn't understand the difference, Keisei also smelled like that.
2317[Maybe a large group has been made. The people in the class look very calm.]
2318In order to let him see the difference, I sent a message to him.
2319After receiving the information, Keisei looked around and looked at me again.
2320[It is true. The gloomy atmosphere has changed dramatically, and you can see it. ]
2321[Because some friends, are very sensitive to changes around.]
2322[If they form a group of 10 or more people, is there a possibility that they will discuss who they are going to spend?]
2323[The students they are targeting are in danger.]
2324[Who made the group? ... are we going to be okay?]
2325Keisei is worried about sending a message.
2326If the number of people in the group gradually increases to make the amount, it is reasonable for students who are not so friendly will also join. It is not easy to order this group.
2327Because the people in the class gradually started coming to school, for now, the behavior of sending messages to each other was stopped.
2328We can do this again at lunch or after school.

2345Part 1
2346 
2347 
2348During the lunch break, I gathered with the Ayanokouji group to chat.
2349Even if you say chat, it's mostly related to additional exams.
2350Of course, the main topic is about changes in the atmosphere that occur in the morning.
2351Since Keisei came to school early, he found signs that large groups had been formed in the class. The report was told by Keisei.
2352 "... I see. I feel today is better than the atmosphere yesterday."
2353"But, this is still speculation ... isn't it?"
2354"Yes, there is no evidence that large groups have been made, and they may not have decided who will be criticized."
2355In the end, just from the situation this morning I just felt it.
2356"Why don't we try to find out who started it?"
2357"It's not good to do it. If we make a mistake, the search can be directed by the group leader. So there is a risk that the target will switch to someone in this group."
2358Keisei said that we must avoid it.
2359"We were not invited, there must be a reason why they did not do it."
2360If a large group is formed, then they can invite other people, except those who will be targeted.
2361This is an ideal development to encourage 39 people to surround 1 person.
2362However, in reality it is difficult to be like that.
2363"For example, do any of us have a good relationship with that target ...?"
2364Haruka calmly concluded.
2365 "... or maybe ... Someone of us is their target."
2366"No, don't say that, Haruka-chan!"
2367Even though Airi is scared, this sentence is not a joke.
2368"Maybe the act of forming groups began on the first day, and then they continued to increase the number of people who were trusted, so the signs began to unfold on the third day."
2369Keisei's reason is very reasonable. As far as the number of people collected, there will not be many people joining in one day. It can be assumed that they have started doing it since the first day of the additional exam.
2370"If they intend to continue increasing their numbers, they should invite some of us today."
2371"If someone among us is their target? Then they threaten to get you out of school if they don't work together. What should we do?"
2372With that in mind, Akito gave us a big challenge.
2373"Of course, we must prioritize our group!"
2374"If you do that, won't Haruka be their target?"
2375"That ... but I don't want to be someone who will stay in school until I betray my best friend. If they threaten me like that, I have to complain to them. "
2376Haruka answered Akito's question, fearfully.
2377"I agree, I also will never betray my best friend."
2378Even though Airi looked nervous, she nodded strongly.
2379"How about you? Keisei"
2380Keisei paused, and then said his true state of mind.
2381 "... Basically, I agree with Haruka and Airi. However, the reality is not so naive. If you really attract attention, you cannot avoid this fact in this additional test. If you are expelled from school for your friends. Sounds good. ... but it will be very painful. "
2382"Then ... ... what do you think, Kiyopon?"
2383Everyone's eyes turned to me.
2384To unite the thoughts of everyone here, we must do several stages of induction.
2385"I oppose Haruka to complain to them about this."
2386"That means you will betray your friend to join a large group?"
2387"No, it is not possible to work with other groups to target their own partners. However, it would be better to pretend on the surface. It is not a good idea to refuse to help or blame each other."
2388It is important to avoid feelings and emotions.
2389"We pretend to be determined to help, and then find out how many of them will criticize someone, and who they will invite to join. This is needed to extract that information, right?"
2390"... ... Right. "
2391Haruka, who was previously worried, regained her composure.
2392If you rely on momentum and suppress your opponent with encouragement, the information you can get is only a little.
2393At this stage, it is not possible to know who the group's goals are.
2394"Even if you pretend to be their friend, during the election anonymity, we will not know who was chosen in the election on the test day."
2395In other words, it can confuse the situation.
2396"What must be done is the best for our colleagues. "
2397I nodded and agreed.
2398"In addition, since the first day, the group has been quietly developing. If enough people gather on the third day, the mastermind who leads a large group, may have a smart mind. He is very alert and brave, and may not have decided who to choose to drop out of school. Even Hirata and Horikita were not aware of the existence of a large group. "
2399Horikita noticed a little, but Hirata did not realize it at all.
2400Even if information is accidentally leaked, it will be blocked at a critical time.
2401"That's because Hirata is in a neutral position towards anyone. So, if they ask for help from Hirata, surely Hirata will oppose him and try to dissolve the big group."
2402"Overall, the mastermind is a flexible person."
2403"Very good, Kiyotaka-kun, even I don't understand things like that!"
2404Airi clapped, like criticizing herself.
2405"Of course. The one who noticed the incident this morning was me, but Kiyotaka."
2406"If you spend time alone, you can unwittingly see some changes, but the existence of a large group has not been confirmed, it's still a hypothetical stage."
2407There is still no clue whether it really exists or not, just follow the topic.
2408"It's better to be alert."
2409"But, ah, only a few topics are worrying. Is there no topic that is a little fun? "
2410While Akito sighed while playing with his cellphone.
2411All group members shook their heads.
2412"I don't feel anything anymore. Even if it's interesting, I can't enjoy it. Besides, we were told that we would soon face the reality that our classmates will be expelled from school."
2413Even if they join a large group, anxiety remains.
2414"Thinking like this ... I ... I'm worried."
2415"You still say this, Airi. You will be fine."
2416To get rid of Airi's anxiety. Haruka said softly and lightly tapped his head.
2417"But ... ..."
2418"If you want to set an example, I'm more likely to be hated by women."
2419"Maybe. "
2420Akito who agreed nodded and looked at him.
2421"What's wrong? You said it yourself."
2422"I did say it myself, but isn't it annoying if someone else says it?"
2423"... I think."
2424In the face of the inability to say it, Akito gave up.
2425Seeing them like this, Airi seemed to lose her confidence.
2426"Haruka-chan, is very funny, and has good humor ..."
2427"No, no ... at least the first, you can't say that."
2428Even though Haruka was surprised, he comforted him.
2429"Girls don't need to worry, there are too many boys who stand out in this regard."
2430To entertain them, Keisei also said that.
2431"Yes, boys are really dangerous. After all, we are in serious trouble now."
2432"Really, compared to girls─ ─ ─ Hey, is that Hirata-kun?"
2433Haruka's words were a bit confusing, all seeing through his eyes.
2434Of course, there is the figure of Hirata, who runs without ambition.
2435The man kept walking and his smile never disappeared.
2436Even if he said respectfully. However, I could not feel the bright impression on his face.
2437"Of course, he's worried about this additional test."
2438"He looks like a different person."
2439Two people who approached Hirata seemed worried about him.
2440"It's clear that he doesn't need to worry about being expelled from school, but it seems he has too much of a burden to carry."
2441"Someone will leave school this time, and that can't be avoided."
2442I always felt that they were looking at Hirata with worried eyes.
2443When I listen to this conversation, my cell phone vibrates receiving a text message.
2444It seems that the sender is someone who cannot be ignored.
2445"Sorry, someone asked me to meet now."
2446"Who is that?"
2447This made Haruka interested, and he looked at me as if he found something interesting.
2448Airi also saw me with nervous eyes.
2449"Horikita, can be an additional test question."
2450"Oh, I see ?"
2451Haruka who understood it immediately lost interest.
2452Maybe that was a thought about Ryuuen's entanglement in the past.
2453I left the cafe and they.
2454
2455

2458PART 2
2459 
2460The meeting location in a call on a school street is not suitable for a lunch break.
2461It is a place to rest on the road.
2462Regardless of spring or autumn, nobody likes to expelled at this time.
2463"Sorry, calling you out like this."
2464"No, letting you wait in cold weather like this, I have to apologize."
2465"No problem. "
2466The person I met was Horikita.
2467But that was not a call from him, but from his older brother, Horikita Manabu.
2468"... Hello ...."
2469Tachibana lowered her head.
2470Even if they had left the Student Council, Tachibana continued to accompany him.
2471I guess without even saying that it's like a different relationship between subordinates and bosses.
2472Tachibana is usually a little rude to me, but today she is a little quiet.
2473Is it because he was trapped by Nagumo and forced to drop out of school?
2474"It looks like an additional exam has begun."
2475"You have heard it, but it will end soon."
2476"It seems that some first-year students have consulted 3rd grade students. However, there is no special assistance from 3rd grade students."
2477"Of course, is there a senpai who will lend personal points?"
2478"This is very difficult. Even though there are special examinations held in accordance with the usual practice this year, basically they will be rotated for more than 3 years. That is to prevent students from leaking information about exam content."
2479as I imagined, even though it was a natural process.
2480"In addition, the number of personal points held by the third class this time will be the determinant of victory and defeat in the special test later. We have no points that can be loaned to the kohai."
2481I understand. That's why Tachibana's expression wasn't too good.
2482Because of his own mistakes, his class lost 20 million personal points.
2483If it was the expenditure of war needed to prepare for the special exam, everything would be different.
2484"I'm sorry, if I'm more assertive ..."
2485Driven by feelings of guilt, Tachibana lowered her head to her.
2486"Don't do anything unnecessary."
2487"Ah, yes ... ..."
2488It seems that he apologized many times, he was attracted to Horikita Manabu.
2489"What about your sister?"
2490"Suzune won't come to me to meet me."
2491"This additional test has never happened before. There needs to be someone who can advise him."
2492Actually, he is struggling. He also made contact with Ryuuen in that matter.
2493Even though the result is getting a hit from Ryuuen.
2494"It's up to you, to take that role."
2495"Request is impossible, I'm different from you."
2496"Do you think I'm the kind of person who will do it to Suzune?"
2497"At least not for me."
2498"............"
2499Short silence occurs.
2500"He should be forced to make a decision now in the direction of the battle, only you can guide him."
2501"Even so, he must choose it."
2502Of course. Horikita Manabu will not force her to make a decision.
2503From the start Horikita Suzune had to decide.
2504"So, what business do you call me?"
2505Talking in an environment that is so cold for a long time is not something that is good for us.
2506Because he wasn't interested in the topic of his younger sister, I changed the topic.
2507"It's about Nagumo. I want to ask if you have found a suspicious act there."
2508"I don't think this is something that needs special advice?"
2509"I have to ask."
2510In an unexpected way, he learned the reason for arranging this meeting.
2511"Because I want to know the reason you were accepted."
2512I could see there was recognition in Tachibana's eyes.
2513Regardless of that, the fact that Horikita Manabu had received in response to him, he thought that this might be related to Tachibana's growth.
2514"Am I accepted? I might just do something rude for Horikita Manabu."
2515"I know. "
2516When he responded quickly and returned to that point clearly, it hurt my heart.
2517"But ... I tried to slightly expand my view. I feel you have abilities that I can't see and I recognize."
2518"How do you look at seeing Ayanokouji again?"
2519"To be honest, I don't understand at all."
2520"I see."
2521What conversation is that?
2522Because of this strange and relaxed air, Horikita Manabu laughed a little.
2523"Unfortunately, we can only understand the true value of Ayanokouji after we graduate."
2524"No, it won't change even after graduating."
2525"I think so. "
2526However, for this kind of thing. Deliberately called me under the cold weather.
2527This also means that Tachibana suffered such a great trauma.
2528"Because Nagumo is wary of you, you don't want to fight him? So, why don't you do it from the front occasionally?"
2529Although this is not a request for a man who will graduate.
2530However, Nagumo will definitely play tricks afterwards
2531No, maybe he did something.
2532"... Nagumo has secretly interacted with class 3 B at the last moment. I thought he would give them overall support again like he did when in a training camp. "
2533For the sake of winning from Horikita Manabu- For this purpose, Nagumo might have proposed to them to drop him to Class B.
2534"The turbulent problem is truly endless. I really want to live a peaceful life in this school."
2535"To get a peaceful life in the first class, you can't rule Nagumo this way."
2536Horikita Manabu believes that something serious will happen next year.
2537If Horikita Manabu, who wanted to be defeated, had graduated, Nagumo would become even more arbitrary.
2538In other words, if I did not take effective precautions at that time, I would suffer heavy losses.
2539"I will do what I can."
2540For a while, I answered like that.

2557PART 3
2558 
2559In the evening, after taking a shower, I opened my cell phone and saw Kei's missed call several times.
2560The call happens every minute, and it can be seen that something is quite alarming.
2561I didn't even take the time to dry my hair. I prepared to call back Kei, but as soon as I would, the call from Kei came again, and I immediately answered.
2562"Hello."
2563"Oh, finally you answer ... !!"
2564"You look very worried."
2565"I feel worried ... something will surprise you, Kiyotaka."
2566"Is there something?"
2567"I don't know who led it ... ... but Kiyotaka, you will be expelled from school."
2568"Is that so?"
2569"You just said 'so'. Do you already know?"
2570"No, I just heard it. However, I only know that someone has been targeted before."
2571So the target is me. I just found out.
2572"Why are you so calm?"
2573"Do you know how many people will choose me?"
2574"I don't really know ... But I feel that more than half the class has agreed. It seems like they are threatening people in the class. If someone says this to Kiyotaka, they will get the person out of school. "
2575Outside of placing someone, one of them presents a threat will be issued. Are the majority of them suppressed?
2576Even if I counted the sound of praise from Ayanokouji's group and one sound of praise from Kei, it was only a small part.
2577"Is that okay? You can be their target. "
2578Of course, if the premise is that I tell people that I heard this from Kei.
2579Even though I don't know who was the mastermind, he did a good job. The strategy of forcing certain people to target withdrawals is very simple, but it is not easy to gather votes. Because people who ask to get someone out of school will basically be considered 'bad'. If a student with a strong sense of justice, or a classmate close to the target person, knows it. In the end it can force the person who is the mastermind to leave school. Even though there was a conflict with his colleague, there was little resistance to the 'evil' mastermind. For this reason, even those who are relatively sharp-minded, such as Haruka and Akito, don't make us take the initiative to eliminate someone. After all, the candidates are selected through consultation in groups, and then all members sort them out gradually.
2580A mastermind who targets me is not afraid of the risk that he will drop out of school.
2581"What will you do. Tell me what to do?"
2582"I don't know. If the enemy is more than half the class, then this is really complicated."
2583Even if I managed to collect about 10 votes of praise, it still cannot cancel the voice of criticism.
2584Of course, the coalition group will vote for the sound of praise to their friends.
2585That's enough to risk me dropping out of school.
2586"Thank you for telling me. I will be very busy. "
2587"No problem, but ... Really, what will you do?"
2588"What should I do? I'll start thinking about it now."
2589"Even though you look perfect but you have flaws. If you don't have me, you might easily get expelled of school without knowing anything."
2590"I rely on you for opportunities like this."
2591"Oh, right ... ..."
2592Just because I have made sure that I can capture information in a range that I cannot reach. I can know my own crisis that failed.
2593"I'll call you again."
2594"Okay I understand. "
2595I ended the call with Kei.
2596Even though I want to say something about March 8, I will put it aside for a while.
2597(T / N: Does it refer to the last special exam, or Kei's birthday?)
2598First of all, you need to find out why I was targeted.
2599"OK ..."
2600I grabbed my cell phone and began to spin my brain slowly to think.
2601Who to contact - this step will greatly influence the strategy afterwards.
2602The puppeteer who attacked me and their environment must be excluded.
2603Because of that, the situation won't improve if I contact someone who is useless.
2604"... Then..... ."
2605I did not go through direct contact as before, so I contacted by telephone from the address in my contact.
2606First, let's think about what to do first?
2607After a while, the call is connected.
2608"There is something? "
2609This is Horikita Manabu who I call in an ordinary tone of voice.
2610"I have something to say to you about this additional test. This is very important!"
2611"Wait a minute. "
2612There was a sound of water flowing from the receiver, I waited for about 10 seconds.
2613"I'm washing, that's why I'm not very clear from the speaker."
2614"Sorry."
2615"It seems like something bad happened."
2616During the day, I met Horikita Manabu.
2617At that time, I said something similar. He watched it from now on.
2618"There is movement in my class. They are trying to form a large group and are ready to choose someone to be released."
2619"From the contents of this additional test, it is inevitable that large groups can be formed. So, who is the target?"
2620Maybe he thought of his sister's face.
2621"That is me. "
2622"This joke isn't funny."
2623"I'm not joking with you. Now more than half of them agree to criticize me."
2624"Oh?"
2625"I'm having a little trouble, so I thought to consult with you."
2626"You want to say, even if it's you, there's no way to deal with this additional test?"
2627"Frankly, I have to say that."
2628More precisely, at this time I will try to take countermeasures.
2629"What do you want from me, I don't think I can help you in this exam."
2630"Yes, there is only one thing I want you to do."
2631He must give advice to his sister.
2632See if he accepts it or not? My next response will change according to the answer.
2633"...... So, that's the problem."
2634"That shouldn't be a bad thing for you. Just use this as an excuse."
2635"Indeed, if not, then I cannot accept this."
2636"There is no need for you to use the strength of the former student council president, and there is no need for you to help me directly."
2637If a student like Horikita Manabu, he can understand even if I don't explain his purpose.
2638"Even if there are people in the class who are staring, are you planning to use 'that' to fight?"
2639"Yes, I plan to contact you wherever. Even though, I can say it during the day ..."
2640"Why? Is it because there is Tachibana in that place?"
2641Of course, I knew that he wasn't the type of student who would talk about it, but it was necessary just in case.
2642"Is that a very big danger? You're not in danger, right?"
2643"It depends on tomorrow. If I don't get your help, I have to take difficult steps. You know that I'm not fighting on the surface, right?"
2644"...... I understand, I will act tomorrow."
2645"I appreciate your great help, and if I already know the mastermind, I'll call you again."
2646I finished talking to Horikita Manabu and put the cellphone on the charger cable.
2647"First, I have to take a step."
2648At first I planned to implement the strategy in this exam.
2649To eliminate unwanted students, this action is needed.
2650However, because I was a target, it was necessary to improve the 'accuracy' of the strategy. I decided to call Kushida on the next call.
2651"Good evening Ayanokouji-kun, I think you will call me today."
2652"So, I can assume that you already know the situation, right?"
2653"Yes, now you seem to be in danger."
2654So that's true, I have become a school dropout candidate. The news arrived at Kushida's ear.
2655"You won't say 'Because we have a cooperative relationship, please tell me,' this kind of thing, right? If I let these words leak, I will be the next target ..."
2656Of course, that's not the real reason.
2657"Who did you hear this from?"
2658Kushida was interested in where I heard that I was forced to drop out of school.
2659"That's anonymous."
2660"Then ~ Tell me one thing, what do anonymous people say?"
2661What did he say?
2662I can't answer questions and keep quiet.
2663"Because Ayanokouji-kun's thinking is very good. You think you won't say it easily, right?"
2664"I failed to reach my intention. What do you want to know?"
2665"For example, tell you who the mastermind is, or how many votes were gathered."
2666In other words, Kushida was curious about these aspects. If I say that half of the students in the class, meanwhile is one third of what other students say. From this alone, he can narrow down, who is the one who told me.
2667"We guessed each other's thoughts, huh?"
2668"Impossible. Is Kushida the mastermind?"
2669"I will not do such a thing. I am a symbol of perfect neutrality and peace in my class."
2670Even if he is not the mastermind, he seems to be quite close to the puppeteer. I keep talking.
2671"Yes. If you are the mastermind, you will target Horikita."
2672"Ah, haha, that's true. Even though you know it's risky to have a discussion with me, but you still contact me. Even though you're in trouble ... But I want to know what you want to do."
2673"I want to know who the mastermind is."
2674"Even if I know now, it won't help you?"
2675Kushida constantly sees the situation and responds according to the situation. It's not difficult to pull it to my side.
2676"I hope you tell me."
2677"You're really honest Ayanokouji-kun, but I can't betray a friend ..."
2678Kushida laughed at the end of the phone like a little demon.
2679"Yes, exactly, even if I want to make it with you, I can't do it. "
2680"What do you mean?"
2681"I'm sorry I can't tell Ayanokouji-kun, because I'm the only one who knows the identity of the mastermind."
2682"... ... that's the problem, huh?"
2683"As expected of Ayanokouji-kun, you seem to understand."
2684The puppeteer who decided to get me out of class chose Kushida as his initial negotiation.
2685Then use Kushida to choose people who have nothing to do with me and to win them.
2686If it's a request from Kushida who has a deep relationship of trust in the class, it's difficult for students to refuse.
2687"If it's Ayanokouji-kun, sooner or later you will be able to find out who the mastermind is? So, even if I don't say it now, it makes no difference."
2688"No, if you don't tell me, I might have trouble. The puppeteer also wants to hide himself. So I must entrust everything to Kushida."
2689"Simple, isn't it?"
2690"I think if it's Kushida, I'm afraid you will see through my mind."
2691I thought if I asked Kushida to know the mastermind, this thought was correct.
2692However, there may be a loss at the same time.
2693"Do you take it for granted? You will be a supporter of the elimination of someone to drop out of school."
2694"Yes. I'm also in a difficult position to refuse, because if I refuse, I think someone else will think I'm not helping him? Even though that person asked me to discuss it, if he spread the message everywhere, that I didn't help him. very shy."
2695Of course, the situation deserves full consideration.
2696"I also consider this a bitter decision, to act. Even though I don't want Ayanokouji-kun to leave school, but I can't betray my classmates who ask for my help and trust. Something like that. There is also a slight feeling of being caught , the result is 'If I betray them, surely they will make me the scapegoat to become the next target.' This rule is spread among all people. "
2697I'm afraid Kushida will continue to apply his neutral position even though this is the problem.
2698However, I was very worried about why he took bold actions to cooperate.
2699One reason might be to protect himself. If he casually refused, he might not be able to join a large group created by the mastermind. Or consider that there may be hatred from others, that will happen to him. In this case, even if he takes a number of risks, it is more useful to be an inside to control the whole group. This is so.
2700A Kushida has strong self-esteem and likes to be adored by others, exalted by them, and dominates them. He is the type of person who will please all people even though that person is 'not good'.
2701"Do you understand what I'm experiencing? I can't help you."
2702If the mastermind is expressed in front of a lot of people, then it will be regarded as Kushida's fault.
2703He uses Cushida well.
2704"Then, I won't force you to ask who the mastermind is? Sorry, I called you at night."
2705"Hey, don't you keep asking about this?"
2706"I don't want to disturb Kushida, you don't seem to cooperate in this case."
2707"Do you think you can find the mastermind without relying on me?"
2708"I don't know. I don't have confidence."
2709While I softened here, provoked Kushida to take a step forward.
2710If you don't reach Kushida, what can you do? However, the question 'who is the mastermind? 'has nothing to do with my strategy. Knowing who is the mastermind will only make my strategy easier to implement.
2711"What should I do?"
2712Although, Kushida stopped but did not back down.
2713No, he stepped forward.
2714"After all, I'm a friend of Ayanokouji-kun. Okay, I'll tell you."
2715If that's the case, I'll stop here.
2716"... Why did you change your mind?"
2717"Because I want to see how Ayanokouji-kun, will handle it, but if I finally get damage, I won't forgive you."
2718"I can tell who is the enemy and who is not, so I can focus fully on the enemy."
2719I thought it was good - Kushida smiled a little.
2720"Yamauchi-kun."
2721The brain names of the temporary mastermind are mentioned.
2722The reason why I say 'temporary', because there is not enough evidence to judge whether he is telling the truth or not.
2723"So that's Yamauchi?"
2724"You're not surprised."
2725"After all, he was one of the candidates who dropped out of school. It's not surprising that he took the initiative."
2726"... ... are you satisfied?"
2727Kushida asked questions to test this.
2728"After hearing the name of the mastermind, I have a thought that is hard to understand. I feel you are not stupid, so you will be controlled by someone like Yamauchi. You should be able to manage It's easy, but you specifically hide the mastermind and run your own host. The role of the mastermind is not too dangerous. "
2729"Then why don't I refuse?"
2730"It could be because you realize that the real brain is not Yamauchi, but a student behind it."
2731The cute-looking Kushida has so far lowered its tone.
2732"In fact, you will understand."
2733"Before Sakayanagi searched for Yamauchi, maybe this was the reason?"
2734Before the semester exam, Sakayanagi came to Yamauchi, and this problem has become a hot topic in Class C.
2735Besides the contact point between Sakayanagi and me, I present material that can only convince Kushida.
2736"At that time, I was also very surprised. But, in reality it was like that. I always felt that there were Class A students behind Yamauchi-kun. I wanted to avoid becoming his enemy."
2737"How do you know that Sakayanagi is behind him? Did Yamauchi say that?"
2738"No, Yamauchi-kun always says it. But don't you know the size of my information network? A person from class A told me that he tried to manipulate Yamauchi-kun and intend to do something for Class C."
2739This is a development that is too beautiful. In this way, Sakayanagi must see that Yamauchi will tell Kushida that he instructed him. Hashimoto from Class A has little doubt about the relationship between me and Kei. If Hashimoto wanted to prevent the formation of a large group known to me, he should suggest not entering Kei.
2740If they didn't bring Kei to the group until then and that happened for several days, I wouldn't realize that I was targeted.
2741"Is it a coincidence that Ayanokouji-kun is targeted by Sakayanagi-san? Or intentional?"
2742"It's hard to say. I don't think I've ever made contact with Sakayanagi. Maybe it's only intended for students with weak feelings."
2743"Oh, yes, in the case of Ayanokouji-kun. No one will tell you because it's risky, except for Horikita-san, Sudou-kun, Satou-san, and your group members."
2744However, the situation will change, if the mastermind is Sakayanagi.
2745Why before Sakayanagi came to bother and asked me to postpone the fight on this additional test?
2746Even if he doesn't hesitate to break the agreement, he must use it to destroy me?
2747What he did to me this time, should do it on the next special exam. Without hesitation he broke the promise to his opponent. Because Yamauchi collected criticism from me, there was no doubt that he violated the agreement. In other words, he attacked with strength, what he promised me was a lie.
2748Pretending that the fight was moved to the next test, it was actually a trap.
2749No ... I know that Sakayanagi doesn't want a way of winning like this.
2750So, what is the meaning of this commotion?
2751"Thank you very much, Kushida."
2752"You have to deal with it, don't drop out of school."
2753Ending the call, I threw my cellphone to the bed.
2754"No matter what the intention is, what I have to do will not change."
2755Now that I know who the mastermind is, then the rest is to convey to Horikita Manabu, and ask her to help.

2770GOOD AND EVIL
2771 
2772As soon as I entered the classroom in the morning, the eyes of classmates looked at me ...
2773However, the line of sight spread rapidly.
2774Then there are scattered sights that see me again. They repeatedly made such a move.
2775Let me get expelled of school -
2776The fact that the movement has begun.
2777It seems that this is the truth of the weirdness that I felt yesterday.
2778As a member of the Ayanokouji group, like Akito or Keisei, no changes were seen.
2779It seems like their performance isn't so good that they don't realize it.
2780Because opponents also form large groups, of course no news will leak out.
2781I can't tell the four people because they will make them worry.
2782If that is heard, they will soon find out that this problem is related to Kei.
2783I can only handle it myself.
2784"Good morning Ayanokouji-kun."
2785"Oh good morning."
2786When Horikita came to school, she seemed to know nothing.
2787"Yo."
2788Apparently, Sudou came with him, he greeted me almost at the same time.
2789"I'll explain beforehand, this is just a coincidence."
2790"I didn't ask you."
2791Somehow Sudou who felt proud, sniffed his nose and went to his seat.
2792Maybe Sudou is not involved in this problem.
2793Even though he wanted me to drop out of school, but if he participated in Yamauchi's plan, it would greatly affect the evaluation Horikita gave him. Also, he wasn't very good at acting so I could feel his poker face.
2794"... by the way,"
2795When there were only two people left, Horikita whispered to me.
2796"What? "
2797"What have you done?"
2798"Did you miss a few words? Please explain the details what did you say?"
2799"Did you do something to me?"
2800This question is very abstract.
2801"I don't know what you say, but I don't do anything, besides that I don't have time to disturb your business."
2802"There's no time? What do you mean?"
2803"Don't care about that."
2804The lesson starts immediately.
2805From Horikita's attitude, it seems like she hasn't met her brother.
2806It seems that he will take action in the afternoon.

2813PART 1
2814 
2815(Horikita Suzune pov)
2816Now is Friday, lunch break, and the exam will begin tomorrow.
2817I, Horikita Suzune remembered what happened last night.
2818I received a text message when I almost slept last night.
2819At that moment my heart beat fast, after seeing the sender's name.
2820That is a text message sent by Nii-san.
2821There is only one sentence written there.
2822[You don't want to do anything?]
2823There are only text messages that contain questions. I read the message over and over again and then started thinking. What should I do with my curiosity?
2824However, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
2825If I miss this opportunity ... ... If I want to hear Nii-san's voice next time, I have to wait until I graduate.
2826[Can you tell me what that means?]
2827I decided to write a text message like that.
2828Even though I only have to send it, the tips of my fingers are heavy and cannot be pressed easily.
2829"Fuu ... ..."
2830A message was sent after I took a breath. After that, I just need to wait for Nii-san to contact me.
2831Will he really repay me? - When this anxiety has almost subsided.
2832Nii-san answers via phone call.
2833This makes me feel relieved.
2834Luckily, he just called me. Because I don't want him to see my hands tremble.
2835"... ... it's me, Suzune."
2836"You said you want to talk to me."
2837"Yes ... ..."
2838"What do you want to say to me?"
2839"That ... ... Umm, why did you give me a text message like that ...?"
2840"Is this important? Is this something you want to talk about on the telephone?"
2841"No, that's not it."
2842I felt that he would hang up, so I panicked and said no, to stop him.
2843"If Nii-san is alright ... can we meet in person?"
2844"So, do you want to talk directly?"
2845"Y-yes"
2846"When you enter this school to study and you don't accept my request to leave school, my relationship with you has ended at that time. Do you understand this?"
2847This is a serious reality. I was contacted by him like this, I can only think of it as a will.
2848For many people, the distance between Nii-san and me is very far away.
2849Actually, I really want to talk to Nii-san.
2850So far, until now.
2851But ... Nii-san never asked me for something like that.
2852"This is something I want to talk about directly."
2853Nii-san is just silent. I will continue to speak slowly.
2854"This is the last ... I won't involve Nii-san again."
2855That's the only offer I can tell him.
2856"Ok, alright. "
2857─ ─ ─ This is the conversation last night.
2858Then, I'm now heading to the destination to meet Nii-san.
2859To avoid others, we met in a special buildings where nothing will come.
2860When I arrived at my destination, I saw that Nii-san had arrived first.
2861 
2862 
2863 
2864 
2865 
2866PART 2
2867 
2868"Thank you for waiting ......"
2869Suzune tried to remain calm, this figure never changed in the eyes of Manabu.
2870It was always the goal he pursued.
2871"It's been a long time, I talked to you directly."
2872"... ... if I don't count when I enter school, this will be the first in three years."
2873"That's right, it's been a long time."
2874Manabu remembers Suzune when he was in middle school.
2875When he decided to continue to high school, he pushed Suzune.
2876At that time he didn't even think that his sister would follow the same path.
2877But, in fact, Suzune is in front of him.
2878"You say you have something to say to me? I'll listen to it."
2879If Suzune said that she wanted to make up with her brother in this situation, then this conversation would stop.
2880He intended to tell him a little and leave without hesitation.
2881If it was Suzune before, it's not surprising that she said this.
2882"I think Nii-san knows about additional examinations for first-year students."
2883"Yes, that is a test to force someone to get kicked out."
2884"Yes."
2885"Then?"
2886He urged Suzune to speak.
2887Suzune who spoke relatively well until now. Stop now.
2888"Basically, my personal points have run out in training camps. If you plan to rely on me, then that is in vain."
2889"No. I didn't think about ... asking for this form of support."
2890To break doubts, Suzune broke her determination.
2891"What I want to say to Nii-san today is ... please - give me courage."
2892Suzune said that. Then he continued.
2893"I can't do this extra test directly. Other people form groups and intend to control the voice - so that they don't get kicked out of school. However, one day I will regret. That's why I want to face this additional test."
2894Manabu quietly accepted this sentence and saw a strong determination in his eyes, and looked back.
2895At the same time, Manabu recalled what Ayanokouji had said to him.
2896What will his sister try to do.
2897That is not an easy task.
2898However, he intended to use his own hands to do 'things that others cannot do'.
2899He broke his resolve and came to see his brother.
2900"Are you free now?"
2901"I have no plans after this ... ..."
2902"Is that so?"
2903Receiving an unexpected question, Suzune sounded a little nervous.
2904"Before listening to things from you, I have a question to ask you. What do you think about this school?"
2905"Eh?"
2906"Is it nice to stay here?"
2907"Ah, that ... yes."
2908Suzune who didn't expect she would ask something like that, her expression was shaken.
2909"Yes, sorry, that ... ..."
2910Even though Suzune could not answer that question, her sister did not reprimand him.
2911"To be honest ... I don't know if I feel happy to be here. It's just that staying at school is not boring."
2912"Is that so?"
2913Suzune could not understand the intent of her asking this question.
2914Given the past, he often had normal conversations with his brother - this had been a long time.
2915"It seems you have overcome one of your own shortcomings."
2916"My shortcomings?"
2917"Yes. You're too focused on yourself, so you ignore the surrounding environment. That means that now the field of your vision has expanded, you get rid of boring days."
2918"For some reason, it's not like Nii-san ..."
2919As far as he knows, his brother is a serious person, basically he never showed his smile.
2920That's because he thought, his brother was someone who refused him.
2921His sister was sure that Suzune would not think that going to school was something to be enjoyed.
2922"You only pay attention to my abilities. That's why you're always obsessed with getting high marks on the exam."
2923"That's because - for me, Nii-san is my goal."
2924So far, Suzune has repeatedly said that her sister is her goal. Every time his brother heard this sentence, he would show a grim expression.
2925"Do you want ..."
2926"... I understand. I know that I will never be able to exceed Nii-san. Even so, it's not a bad thing to try as close as possible to catch up to you."
2927Although embarrassed by his own pride, he still wanted his brother to see his attitude trying to catch up.
2928Manabu did not respond to Suzune, but he closed his eyes calmly.
2929"What do you think about Ayanokouji?"
2930"... What do I think?"
2931"You must honestly say it."
2932"I don't like his attitude, especially when he has the ability to be recognized by Nii-san, but I think one day I will follow him and defeat him."
2933"Sorry, you won't be able to catch up with Ayanokouji."
2934"Ehh ..."
2935"But you don't have to catch up. You just have to go down your own road. "
2936"...! ..."
2937Suzune learned a little distance from her sister.
2938As long as he gets closer, he can reach his brother's position.
2939However, he had difficulty taking this step.
2940 "Are you afraid?"
2941"... ... scared ..."
2942From a young age Suzune was unable to travel this distance.
2943This long distance made him feel hopeless and out of reach.
2944"To get close, you have to move forward."
2945"What should I do ... What can I do to reduce this distance ...?"
2946"I will give you the answer to this question that is still immature now. So, tell me, what question do you want to ask about your class?"
2947Suzune nodded and began to slowly choose the words to be said.

2958 PART 3
2959 
2960
2961After school a day before voting.
2962Tomorrow someone will leave this class and leave the chair.
2963Even though everyone felt anxious, but they seemed to feel relieved in their hearts and thought they were fine.
2964It is true. Because they have decided to survive at someone's expense.
2965Let's let 'Ayanokouji Kiyotaka' get expelled of school.
2966More than half of the students have decided this.
2967Maybe most of my classmates have guilt at me now.
2968But in this way, they can be saved, and their guilt will diminish.
2969Someone will come out as time goes by.
2970If after one year, I only think of 'Are there students like that?'
2971Naturally, I will not hate it. Anyone will try their best to think of precautions so as not to leave school. It's just that I happen to be their target.
2972In response to the situation, I smoothly drew Kushida and began the topic of voting with sympathy.
2973Kushida was trusted by his friends and always listened to his friend's consultation. Even though he doesn't like this, he can't refuse it.
2974Yamauchi's strategy wasn't bad. As a risk mastermind, he does his job well.
2975However, it is a pity that he chose me as a target.
2976If it is an act intended solely to avoid dropping out of school, he should choose Ike or Sudou as his goal.
2977The two people did not have the ability to take revenge.
2978However, because Sakayanagi controls it, the situation won't be like that.
2979In short, because I will be kicked, then I just need to choose someone to get him out of school.
2980But this time, I'm not the one who made the situation.
2981For them, I was only a student with weak feelings targeted by Yamauchi, not a type of student who could change the situation.
2982Students who take this responsibility are others.
2983As my neighbor, the expression on his face was more serious than the change I expected.
2984As if he had touched the magic sand, he had a different beam.
2985"The class will end. Tomorrow is Saturday, additional test day, don't fall asleep."
2986With Chabashira-sensei's words, it marked the end of school.
2987By the time everyone gets ready to start packing their books.
2988That's when Horikita wrapped herself in silence.
2989Come on - Horikita, move on! You have to be able to move now.
2990A neighbor rose from a chair.
2991"Can you spend a little time?"
2992Horikita said loudly, calling everyone in the class
2993Of course, it will naturally attract everyone's attention.
2994"Everyone, I'm really sorry, I want you to stay in class for a while."
2995Chabashira-sensei seemed to be very concerned about Horikita's situation, and stopped walking.
2996"What's wrong, Horikita-san?"
2997At this time, Hirata made a response faster than others.
2998That's because he is more sensitive than anyone in the face of changes in class.
2999"I want to say something about the additional exam for tomorrow."
3000"About the exam tomorrow?"
3001"What, what do you mean? I'll play with Kanji for now."
3002"Yes, it is true. "
3003Yamauchi told him that they had no time.
3004"You're quite comfortable. You don't know who will leave school tomorrow, but you still agree to play together."
3005When his line of sight was directed at Yamauchi, it panicked him.
3006"That's because ... even if you're worried, you can't change facts. This is the real reality."
3007"Yes. That's a good way of thinking. But sorry, everyone in the class doesn't have a good attitude like you. That doesn't mean if everyone in the class doesn't listen together. Can you work together?"
3008"What do you want to talk about?"
3009"About the exam tomorrow, and decide who should leave school. I have something important to tell you."
3010Horikita stepped forward, walked forward and stood up straight.
3011I think he wanted to be in a position where he could see the facial expressions of everyone.
3012"You said leaving school ... Eh, what is that?"
3013Obviously Yamauchi started talking faster than usual.
3014Because he feels an extraordinary atmosphere, coupled with his own guilt, unconsciously expresses this attitude.
3015"I have thought a lot about what I can do in the past few days. Thinking about who should stay, who has to get expelled of school - and think about how to make this answer. Later today, I am sure to find this answer. So please allow me to convey my answer here. "
3016"Wait a minute Horikita-san."
3017Not Yamauchi but Hirata stopped him.
3018"No one in this class has to leave school."
3019"I want to know, is that true?"
3020"That is ..."
3021"Since we were told that this exam started, I have a big question in my heart. This is clearly a test that must be evaluated in class and discuss the results. Schools don't give us time to communicate in class. So this will be a battle 'building a group, and controlling voting '. The result could pose a danger that' outstanding students who should remain in the classroom must leave school '. This kind of thing cannot be called a test. "
3022The first person to admire was Chabashira-sensei. And then Koenji.
3023"I don't know what happened to you, but your appearance is like a different person now. That's a good story."
3024While clapping, Koenji continued.
3025"Can you tell me, what do you want to do with this?"
3026"Everyone should exchange opinions and finally choose someone who has to leave school. However, I understand that this is difficult to do from a realistic point of view. So - please allow me to name the person who has to leave school."
3027"Wait a minute, Horikita-san."
3028"Sorry, please don't bother me now, let me finish first. I'll explain the reason why his name was chosen."
3029To save time, Horikita intends to advance the topic.
3030"No. I oppose you doing something like this that makes everyone confused."
3031Even so, Hirata didn't give up.
3032Hirata also has his own style.
3033"At least he has the right to speak. You can oppose it later."
3034As if to prevent the obstacles Hirata. Sudou stops the disturbance.
3035"As Red Hair-kun said, I will also dedicate a lot of time after school, so it will be a waste of time if you interfere."
3036Koenji, who is interested in this topic, also provides assistance.
3037"Yes, but ... ..."
3038Horikita uses this gap to speak.
3039"I judge that in this additional special exam ... Haruki Yamauchi-kun must be expelled from school."
3040Under the strict supervision of the class, Horikita clearly stated the name of the student.
3041So far, many students behind have chosen candidate targets for critical votes. However, Horikita was the first to make a comment to mention her name and collect votes directly. Why does nobody do it? Of course, that is because they will be hated by the students they mentioned. Moreover, if you fail to guide them to choose it, chances are that you will become the next target.
3042"Why, why me, Horikita ?!"
3043It was clear that Yamauchi would react first.
3044If Horikita's behavior is approved, Yamauchi will be the target of criticism. He will drop out of school.
3045"Of course I have a clear reason. First of all, in this year, your contribution to the class is very low."
3046"There is no such thing! My test scores are always better than Ken!"
3047"You were overtaken last time."
3048"Yes, but ... just this time ~!"
3049"You give up a hundred steps, just like your academic level, you might still be above Sudou-kun. But in terms of physical abilities, one or two levels are lower."
3050"I'm not like Kanji! Isn't this the last time!"
3051Naturally Yamauchi will fight.
3052If you were called a target, any student would fight hard.
3053"Students with the same skills do have to be evaluated in a certain range. You're right."
3054"If, that's true. I really hope you don't say my name ..."
3055"But even if you are a little worse than people in the range. If you judge based on your attitude so far, the delay is absent and what you have mastered and not mastered, I can judge how big you are. The result is you are in the last place "The second is Ike-kun, followed by Sudou-kun. I arrived at this conclusion yesterday."
3056"Me, I'm also a candidate dropping out of school!"
3057Sudou panics.
3058"Recently, your level of academic and spiritual ability has gradually improved. However, the burden that you have brought to class so far has not been able to compensate. Is that true?"
3059"... Ah, that's right."
3060When the facts are put in front of him, Sudou accepts them honestly.
3061It seems that I also accept that, seen from the expression of its weight.
3062"Really, what are you talking about in origin? This is very annoying! Right? Kanji, Ken !?"
3063Yamauchi intended to attract two people who were also considered candidates to leave school, but they did not have weapons to argue with.
3064"If it's me, it's not funny! People like Koenji are students who even have problems with special exams!"
3065"That's right, there is something about Koenji-kun's actions that must be reviewed mostly. However, I understand the meaning of the discussion on this occasion. In terms of ability, he is at a different level compared to you. At least on this exam, he is not a student have to leave school. "
3066Koenji sat satisfied with an extraordinary smile and crossed his arms.
3067"I can't agree! I feel that I don't understand anything!"
3068"Then I'll tell the reason, why did I decide to choose you among the inferior?"
3069Horikita forced the noisy Yamauchi to calm down.
3070"Is that a definite reason?"
3071In this unusual air, Yamauchi retreated for a moment.
3072"In this test, I haven't told anyone, that you have made a mistake. Am I not right?"
3073Horikita said strongly to suppress Yamauchi.
3074"Nothing wrong with that ..."
3075"Because you don't plan to say it yourself, then I will tell you. You used Kushida-san as an intermediary for several students to make Ayanokouji-kun issued. Is that true?"
3076"What !?"
3077There is noise, and chaos in the class.
3078Even though more than half of the people knew that the number of votes had been manipulated, everyone did not know that the mastermind of the brain was Yamauchi.
3079"You will make Ayanokouji-kun get expelled of school ...?"
3080Besides Ayanokouji's group, there was also Hirata among those who were surprised.
3081For Hirata, who often is in a neutral position and thinks about class, this cannot leak into his ears.
3082"That's right, everyone. This fact is undeniable."
3083Kushida helped Yamauchi where he was the mastermind of the group. There are many students who have acted and wondered.
3084Even if you don't see the line of sight, you will be shaken if you hear this.
3085Only this will allow Hirata to realize that more than half of the students are members of the Yamauchi group.
3086"So ... ... it's the reason that everyone is calmer than they imagined ..."
3087"The plan that starts with forming small groups then extends steadily. If more than half the class concentrates criticism, the target person will leave school. Isn't that right?"
3088"Oh, it's not me who did it!"
3089Even though Yamauchi denied himself, he had no defense to defend himself.
3090"If not you, then who?"
3091"I, I don't know! It's just that ... They say to criticize Ayanokouji!"
3092Lies forced to do usually do not have a good effect.
3093"If you don't know who the mastermind is, then please tell me, who told you to criticize Ayanokouji-kun?"
3094"That ... that ..."
3095"If you also hear this from someone? Don't you know who told you?"
3096Yamauchi who looked worried about his mind, looked around.
3097"... ... Kanji, I heard it from Kanji! Right ??"
3098Then he pointed the arrow at his close friend.
3099"No, hey? Not me!"
3100Of course, Ike will naturally deny it.
3101"Is that so? Ike."
3102"No, no, no, no. I ...
3103Ike intends to say this now.
3104But this is also a problem. Because the person who said to him was Kushida.
3105He can't drive him away at will.
3106"Why can't you answer it? If as Yamauchi-kun said, are you the mastermind?"
3107"No, no! So, that ... I was asked by Kikyo-chan. He asked me to help him ... He said that some people were in trouble, so he invited me to criticize Ayanokouji."
3108This time Ike points the arrow at Kushida.
3109naturally Kushida will not accept this situation with resignation.
3110He is the person who hates being criticized more than anyone else.
3111"No way, are you the mastermind? Kushida-san."
3112In the end Horikita asked one by one.
3113As of now, everything is 'focused on the designated person', even if you don't find the mastermind, it's no big deal. Because individual questions like this will always arrive at the truth.
3114"I ... ... that ... someone asked me to help him ... ... I can't refuse ..."
3115"'Someone'? Who is that?"
3116The released arrow will eventually return to Yamauchi.
3117However, Yamauchi who was in a panic, tried to release the next arrow.
3118"Oh, that's right! I was invited by Kikyo-chan! He invited me to criticize Ayanokouji!"
3119I don't know that the chain that starts with lies will last.
3120"Eh ... me ... !?"
3121"Everyone hears this from Kikyo-chan? Is not that true?"
3122Kushida did an intermediary task.
3123However, most classmates know the facts -
3124Kushida Kikyo is a student who will act for a friend and she is not a girl who will make mistakes for others.
3125There is a difference in the value of experience from the collected beliefs.
3126"It's terrible, Yamauchi-kun ... I only helped Yamauchi-kun, but I don't want to leave Ayanokouji-kun ... so I work hard ..."
3127Kushida who looked down at the table, showed a sad voice.
3128Of course, what everyone thought about, was a scene where 'Yamauchi asked Kushida to help himself'.
3129Yamauchi's situation would only deteriorate gradually. Of course, this made Kushida feel very sad, but he had to avoid the situation from 'being the subject of criticism'.
3130The worst thing is that he will be expelled from school.
3131"... Kushida-san."
3132Horikita called Kushida, who lowered her head.
3133Maybe everyone thought he would give him words of entertainment.
3134"What you did is also a big mistake."
3135With a strong tone, Horikita rebuked Kushida.
3136"In this class, you're on par with Hirata-kun and Karuizawa-san ... No, you're a student with a strong influence outside. If you ask for criticism, many will follow you."
3137"I, I, I don't mean to do that, I just want to help Yamauchi-kun ..."
3138"Stop being misleading and you're not a fool, you should have seen from the start what would happen if you helped."
3139After listening to his words, Kushida stood crying.
3140"I don't expect things like this! It's just that, I can't make Yamauchi-kun alone in trouble ... He looks very difficult ... so I want to help him do something ...!"
3141"No, you think things will be like this. You know very well that this will happen, and you deliberately ignore this problem."
3142"...! ..."
3143Kushida was afraid of Horikita, who blamed her too much.
3144Even though Kushida wanted to respond strongly in this place, he couldn't do that.
3145Because he can't let go of his angel's mask in this situation.
3146Horikita must also understand this.
3147"You made a mistake about this case, you should have taken action beforehand."
3148"How can I do that, I can't do anything ..."
3149"Make this a reflection material and consider the actions you will take for the class in the future."
3150Horikita did not listen to Kushida's defense, after saying something like that, she ended the topic.
3151"But it's like a fact, there's no doubt that the culprit is Yamauchi-kun."
3152For a moment, the tip of the arrow facing Kushida once again aimed at Yamauchi.
3153"Wait, wait a minute Horikita. I said it wasn't me ..."
3154"Ah, this is really a very interesting topic. But isn't that a reasonable thought to let someone get expelled of school? In this exam, to get someone out, usually the lowest one. Of course, students will struggle to survive. do you have good reason to blame him? Are there other reasons? "
3155From the beginning to the end, Koenji took a neutral stance, from his words.
3156Although all of his comments have supported Horikita.
3157"Yes. Although the act of forming a large group and letting someone out of school is not praiseworthy, but I think it is inevitable if you want to stay in this school. But the premise is if he does it only for himself."
3158"Then?"
3159"Yamauchi-kun, you're not only trying to protect yourself, but you also plan to let Ayanokouji-kun get expelled of school."
3160"Wait, wait! I said it wasn't me!"
3161"That's bad. Everyone in the class is sure of what he is doing. Then, tell me why is he targeting Ayanokouji-boy?"
3162Ok, Horikita nodded and responded.
3163"He - Yamauchi Haruki-kun is connected with Sakayanagi-san and he is moving under his instructions."
3164The truth of Yamauchi-kun was revealed at this time.
3165"That's an interesting story. It's really worrying if he has a connection with Class A students."
3166There might be a reason for Koenji who is so excited about following this topic now.
3167Because Koenji was also considered one of the candidates for dropping out of school, he might plan to follow the topic of Horikita and avoid its own dangers. This is intended to exclude students who are not needed, and are decided by the class.
3168Even if Yamauchi does not cooperate with Sakayanagi in this exam, nor does he aim at certain people, he is one of the students who is not needed for the class - this problem will not change. In the end it will develop into the same process.
3169However, thanks to his relationship with Sakayanagi, it can be said that the procedure for removing Yamauchi can be ignored right
3170"Hey, Haruki, are you connected with Sakayanagi-chan ... ...?"
3171Not only hiding himself as the mastermind, Yamauchi was also revealed to have a connection with Class A.
3172Even if it was Ike, he could not sit still.
3173"Here, this is bullshit! Where is the proof!"
3174"Then, let me check your cellphone now. You should have the contact number, right?"
3175"That's because ... I'm friends with him, there's nothing suspicious!"
3176If it's really a friend, then there's nothing suspicious.
3177However, Sakayanagi had recently approached Yamauchi directly - it was still fresh in their memories.
3178To remind everyone of the incident, Horikita said that sentence.
3179"Are you really connected with Sakayanagi-chan?"
3180As his best friend, Ike's comments were insulting.
3181"What are you talking about? Why are you saying that I have cooperated with Class A! I can't betray my partner! I don't have the impression of being connected with them! Please help me ...!"
3182Feeling worried, Yamauchi pretended to be a victim
3183"No. You should receive instructions from him to influence the students in our class and target Ayanokouji-kun as a target. After all, he taught you how to get Ayanokouji-kun out of school."
3184"No, no, no!"
3185"In addition, there might be a condition that Yamauchi-kun is willing to work together, for example, he invited him to join."
3186"Hey!"
3187However, the fact that Yamauchi wanted to hide had been revealed, and a new anger emerged from Yamauchi.
3188This part may be the full reason. But seeing Yamauchi's attitude, this reason seems correct.
3189"For good reasons, I can't get students who are better than you, this is the best reason to choose you as a student who has to leave school."
3190Horikita asked all students in the class, not Yamauchi.
3191"Everyone hates losing classmates. But if at first you betrayed your classmates and collaborated with your enemy to try to target one of your friends ... then you naturally become the least needed in class."
3192"How, how about this ..."
3193Yamauchi desperately tried to turn his brain.
3194To improve the situation for the better.
3195"If the current story is true ... ... why are you just blaming me myself! Even if joining another class to protect yourself is a legitimate defense! I don't want to be expelled!"
3196"So. Do you want to say 'protecting yourself is not a mistake?' "
3197Although the reason was not very good, Yamauchi continued to try not to admit that fact.
3198"Right, it's important for you to protect yourself. However, I won't evaluate students who are part of a group to protect themselves and even sell their partners to the enemy."
3199No matter how hard Yamauchi denies, Horikita will not back down.
3200"Oh, because you're good friends with Ayanokouji, so you're trying to protect him!"
3201"Not. This is the result of objective thinking, after making a calm assessment. The initial lines of Ayanokouji-kun and Yamauchi-kun are the same. When you see the same starting line, you two have significant differences in class contributions. Plus, because you have a connection with Class A, there is no room for debate. "
3202"I don't mind that. I decided that adopting the Horikita-girl proposal was the most appropriate. I definitely couldn't spend time with students who betrayed the class."
3203Koenji was the first to support Horikita's idea by saying that.
3204"Wait a minute! I haven't betrayed! I swear to my life!"
3205This is the last choice. He uses his life as a guarantee to prove that he is not lying.
3206It's hard to say whether this sentence is addressed to his classmates.
3207"Come to think of it, why should it be Ayanokouji?"
3208"What do you mean? "
3209 "If I'm really connected with Sakayanagi, I shouldn't choose Ayanokouji, but choose the most important person in Class C."
3210I was worried when Yamauchi mentioned this. This is a question that he himself does not understand about this problem. Why not choose Hirata or Karuizawa, which is the center of the class, but why choose Ayanokouji?
3211"The answer might be that Ayanokouji-kun is not a flashy student. Even if Sakayanagi-san wants to let good students dropout of school, he can't easily do it. So he chose Ayanokouji-kun because he had a weak presence. it's important that anyone in class C will leave school. What's important is that spies can be used as chess pieces. "
3212At this level Yamauchi had no way to resist Horikita's resistance.
3213"I think there might be someone who is not happy with what I say. Then, anyone who wants to write my name, please write it down. Is that me write the name Yamauchi-kun, or the name Ayanokouji-kun, or another name besides them, please write it according to what you want! But, I think I should convey my opinion to others. So, I'm here talking to you. Please understand this, and then decide. "
3214What Horikita did included her struggle to increase self-awareness.
3215Maybe that has achieved results.
3216However, Sudou objected here.
3217"Please, wait a minute ... Suzune ... Yes ... I understand this well, I understand that Haruki is wrong."
3218His expression became gloomy. Sudou often followed instructions from Horikita. This is the minimum thing he can do.
3219"But I object to leaving Haruki out of school."
3220"He's your friend, I understand well what you feel."
3221However, Horikita had long known that Sudou would help Yamauchi.
3222And, Sudou can't easily pull it.
3223"Because he is my friend, I want to protect him. Of course this is also a problem because I also think that he has worked with Class A. But I don't want him to come out. If, he contributes to us, isn't it okay?"
3224"According to your theory, if he doesn't do anything, Ayanokouji-kun won't leave school."
3225"That - ─ ─ ─"
3226"I'm not talking about that kind of dimension I'm talking about now, Sudou-kun."
3227Horikita sighed in relief, and then revealed the courage left in her heart.
3228Preparing for battle, although at risk of being hated by all classmates.
3229"If you want to protect someone, that means you have to let go of someone. So in this additional test, you can't use emotions at all. You can only use the theory to evaluate those who are candidates for dropping out of school."
3230"Eh ..."
3231Sudou is silent.
3232He only conveyed ideas to everyone, to Yamauchi.
3233However, for this reason someone must leave school instead.
3234Form groups and control the number of votes - this behavior itself is a mistake.
3235Until the day before the exam, classmates acted very chaotic. Someone has to leave school, and even if they leave school, there is no way to cancel it - everyone's thoughts are full of these negative things.
3236Because of this they understand it very confidently. They realized it, even though he said 'I didn't act for class, just because I wanted to be safe'. If he said these words on the exam day like now, it would not leave any effect. More importantly, even if Horikita says this when they have not faced an additional test, it will not reach their hearts. But, now everyone can understand. How difficult and frightening is taking the initiative to leave your classmates behind?
3237"This is bad Haruki ... I can't do anything for you ... ..."
3238To be honest, Sudou's growth really amazed me. Although it is still very easy to accept provocation from other people and easy to get angry, but his vision gradually develops.
3239Even though he had a close relationship with Horikita and Yamauchi as his own friends, he made a calm judgment even if he put both of them in balance.
3240"It seems like it's been decided."
3241Koenji who as an observer here intends to decide.
3242"Wait, wait, wait!"
3243Yamauchi shouted and tried to stop the decision.
3244"My mind has been decided. There is no one who is more deserving of you to get criticism."
3245"Even if you think that! I made an appointment with the others. Everyone promised to choose Ayanokouji!"
3246"... ... I, want to cancel it, ...
3247"Eh ...?"
3248Kushida who bowed his head and said softly.
3249"I'm wrong ... because I want to help Yamauchi-kun, and I don't realize the seriousness of the situation. I want to retract the words I said when asking for help ..."
3250Kushida supported Horikita to avoid herself from lowering her evaluation in this place.
3251"Wait. What do you mean! Too horrible to break your promise!"
3252"The terrible thing is Yamauchi-kun ... Because ... betrayed your classmate ..."
3253Yamauchi became completely alone.
3254He should feel so much contradiction with him than anyone.
3255"You lack the greatest strength in this class, and they betray you."
3256Horikita said clearly, and was calm.
3257"That's my opinion."
3258say this, Horikita intends to summarize the topic.
3259It seems they think that no one can fight Horikita again.
3260"Finally, can you tell me the opinion of everyone here?
3261But ─ ─ ─.
3262"Horikita-san, I want you to wait."
3263"... ... is there something?"
3264A boy raises his hand.
3265If there are people who oppose Horikita at this place, there is no one other than Hirata Yousuke.
3266"Even though I'm not bothering you while listening, but I don't agree with the way you encourage students to choose. It's wrong to start with each other. "
3267It's not emotional like Sudou, or not theoretical like Horikita.
3268This is the resistance Hirata made who could not answer, and could not bear to see it.
3269"Besides that there is no other way. This test has no loopholes. The essence is 'having to choose victims in the class' this doesn't make sense as a test. Don't you accept that?"
3270"How is this kind of thing acceptable? I ... I don't want anyone to come out. If someone wants to leave school, it's better to say it. No matter it's Yamauchi-kun or Ayanokouji-kun, they don't expect to leave school. "
3271"How can anyone expect to leave school? If so, I will ask a meaningless question. In this class, if there is a student who thinks he wants to leave school. Can he raise his hand? If someone raises his hand, then we don't need to discuss it at all. It doesn't matter to everyone to choose that person. This will be the end of this problem. "
3272No one will pick it up. If such a person exists, they have already run for the exit.
3273"Do you understand this?"
3274"Not. I can't agree with this bad thing. "
3275Perfect honorary students. Even on the opposite battlefield he is still a good person.
3276Weaknesses of Hirata Yosuke revealed.
3277The disadvantage is that he cannot do anything when he is in a dilemma.
3278"No matter what you think, I will believe in my own method and use it to make a decision on this occasion."
3279"There is no meaning in doing things like that. There is no guarantee that they will choose who, when they are on that day."
3280"There is no such thing, it is important to determine the direction of classmates."
3281"No. Not all of them ... will let someone out of school ...!"
3282In Hirata's eyes. Maybe this will be a spark of competition.
3283If Hirata is normal, she is afraid that it will be a source of contention. That's because whoever hates who, will be revealed.
3284"Okay, let me hear your decision."
3285Horikita, ignores Hirata and wants to encourage everyone to raise their hands.
3286Nothing can stop Horikita again.
3287Right, when it's time to decide.
3288"Horikita-san!"
3289BANG! - Sounds echoed in the classroom.
3290Who can imagine a scene like this?
3291A table was kicked by Hirata until it crashed forward.
3292"Oh, uh, Hirata-kun?"
3293From the girls' side, they couldn't believe what had happened.
3294I also feel unbelief.
3295Everyone was very surprised to see his legs kicking the table, so that it could cause this situation.
3296Likewise Chabashira-sensei was just as surprised.
3297His unbelievable actions surprised everyone.
3298"Horikita-san ... can you shut up a little."
3299Hearing his tone of voice, other people will feel scared and back away.
3300"... what will you do by stopping me?"
3301Shaken Horikita scratches her forehead, and uses this question to answer Hirata.
3302"I told you to stop making decisions."
3303"You have no right to that ..."
3304Horikita also trembled slightly in the face of the pressure Hirata made.
3305At present, Hirata has such strength.
3306"This discussion is wrong."
3307"If you think it's wrong to discuss it with everyone, then what's the right answer? Because you don't know how to do it, you can't do anything."
3308"... .... So what ?"
3309"... That's why you say it's a problem. This is not the right evaluation."
3310"Shut up ..."
3311"No, I won't shut up. I-"
3312"HORIKITA ... ... shut up."
3313In front of Horikita, who will answer, Hirata said a harsh remark.
3314After hearing harsh and heavy words he had never said, Horikita closed her mouth.
3315I wonder if the air froze because of this atmosphere.
3316"Listen, everybody!"
3317Hirata changed his tone like everyone else and gave instructions to his classmates.
3318"Is this story true or false? It doesn't matter."
3319"... ... that's a lie! That's a lie, Hirata! I'm just a victim!"
3320Yamauchi shouted since he was kept pressed here.
3321"Victim?"
3322"Eh ... ..."
3323Hirata's eyes were very sharp through Yamauchi.
3324"After saying so many things, you can't do anything for that."
3325"That's why ... …"
3326"I feel sick because you don't think about your friend."
3327This anger is not only directed at Yamauchi, but for the whole class.
3328"It's a test, it's something that can't be avoided."
3329"Even so, manipulating sound is a mistake."
3330"The test will start tomorrow. If you challenge this test without retaliation, that is equivalent to the betrayal that Yamauchi-kun did."
3331"Is there something wrong with no retaliation? We have no right to judge classmates. "
3332"What are you talking about ...? This exam is about finding preventive measures. And in fact, many students expect answers."
3333It was due to the fact that Horikita stood in front and got the attention of many students, so she found this.
3334However, Hirata will not agree with this problem.
3335"- Doesn't everything you do here cause something like this?"
3336Low and heavy voices echo in class.
3337His mind still refused to understand that this cold voice was spoken from Hirata.
3338"This test is really too cruel. I've never agreed with this. But even so ... I want to do my best to do this secretly because this is just a form of natural voting. Exams aren't meant to persuade you like this , so that classmates can protect each other in the form of this test. "
3339"It was really nonsense. It was clear that they had formed a group for themselves in the class, and then repeatedly held discussions about 'who should be protected and who should expelled of school by the group.' "
3340"Yes, that is also a terrible act, but that doesn't mean that everyone in the class is explicit."
3341"It's the same. There's no change in essence. If you want to maintain hypocrisy, you have to stop that action."
3342No one can insert a conversation between the two.
3343The people who can speak with Hirata who are now desperate may be just Horikita.
3344"Even if there is no progress here, I have already conveyed my thoughts to everyone. Isn't it, a natural situation that you hope has long since disappeared."
3345"Right ... it's gone. So, I can't get rid of this fact."
3346After Hirata let out a sigh of relief, he continued.
3347Even though it seemed he had regained his composure, his cold appearance had not changed.
3348"So I will write the name Horikita tomorrow, I will not tolerate you, which makes unwanted actions in this class."
3349Hirata himself knew clearly that he had many contradictions. Even so, he still wants to hang out with all classmates and appreciate peace in class, than others.
3350"Yes please."
3351If he agrees with Hirata, he will not accept this fight. - Horikita did not express such dissatisfaction.
3352Chabashira-sensei who saw the conflict between two people in their eyes, walked quietly forward.
3353"Horikita, don't you have anything to say again?"
3354"Yes."
3355After Horikita gave Chabashira-sensei a room, she returned to her seat.
3356Class time has passed, and this is not the time for the teacher to play.
3357However, Chabashira-sensei accidentally stepped into the student area.
3358"You might say 'this test is too unreasonable' and against the school. But once you enter the community, you have to let go of someone. A situation like this will happen. At that time, people in high-ranking jobs will manage to make decisions So that all students studying at this school become a favorable existence for Japan, we have done various education to foster you. If you only think of this exam is a deliberate step from school, then you will not grow.
3359People who pull their feet in the community will be expelled to protect their friends.
3360In this series, of course there are trade offs like today and persuasion formed by the guide.
3361This exam does contain elements that make people grow. However, it is not a gentle step to force most students who are physically and mentally immature to make such judgments. There may also be students who will faint because of this exam.
3362"I don't mean to think about the contents of today's discussion. I think everyone's comments have value. I hope you will consider them carefully and then vote based on understanding this issue."
3363After Chabashira-sensei listened to the whole discussion, he said a sentence like that and then left the classroom.
3364Are those who come out, Me, Yamauchi, Horikita, Hirata or other students?
3365In tomorrow's vote, who will write, who? Absolutely uncertain. In other words, at the time of voting, people who leave school can change. Nobody can blame this.
3366This is a type of test like that.

3371PART 4
3372 
3373As soon as I get home from school, Haruka comes and joins me.
3374Both Horikita and Yamauchi will gradually leave the classroom.
3375"Are you free after this?"
3376"Oh? Yes, I'm free."
3377Actually, I want to talk a little with Hirata ...
3378But Hirata didn't show his emotions at all, and he left the chair calmly.
3379This is not an idea it's good to ignore the group when the conversation has spread.
3380"Come to the cafe."
3381I received an invitation like that, we formed a group the right way and we left the classroom.
3382Even if I leave the corridor, no one intends to spread it.
3383"Are you not worried? You will be targeted by Yamauchi's group."
3384"Even though they aim for it, there must be no one coming out of our group."
3385A little different than usual, Haruka was a little angry.
3386"I have the same opinion. Kiyotaka has no reason to leave school."
3387Keisei agrees with Haruka, and then Akito and Airi also nod strongly.
3388"At first I thought it was strange that we didn't get any information. Because it was intended for people in our group, that information would not leak to us."
3389No matter how much action is taken, it is impossible to find out who the target is.
3390After Keisei learned of this, he seemed convinced.
3391After arriving at the cafeteria and buying drinks for themselves, Haruka made an opening.
3392"I think we can by agreeing to choose Yamauchi-kun. More precisely that should be done."
3393"I don't mind, but what about the other two voices?"
3394"Isn't it better to choose from those who are still standing by Yamauchi-kun's side."
3395"Knowing that he is connected with Sakayanagi. Will the sound decrease drastically? Even if it is Ike or Sudou, they cannot support it with certainty."
3396"But, as a friend, I think they will give a sound of praise as mercy."
3397Maybe Haruka's prediction is correct.
3398Even though Yamauchi betrayed the class, he only did this to save himself.
3399However, if you look at it from another aspect, he is used by Sakayanagi. So, there is no room for sympathy.
3400Even though it's Horikita ... No, it's because I have brought hatred to Yamauchi.
3401Yamauchi is the puppeteer, and Sakayanagi is behind him.
3402I told this fact to Horikita Manabu, and then he told his sister.
3403If he doesn't act, I intend to do the same thing directly.
3404"How much is the possibility of criticism gathered at Kiyotaka? For men, Yamauchi is the leader, there are also Ike and Sudou, and then Hondou is familiar with Yamauchi, Ijūin, Miyamoto, and Sotomura. The people around him are very possible."
3405If you look at it from a boy's side, there are 7 votes for criticism.
3406"What about girls?"
3407"I thought that Horikita would undoubtedly give a voice of praise to Kiyotaka, and give a voice of criticism to Yamauchi. But I don't know what other girls are doing ... Do you know Airi?"
3408"... ... Satou-san and Karuizawa-san might not criticize him ... ..."
3409"Why?"
3410"There is no reason, but ..."
3411"That's a woman's intuition."
3412"I can't rely on such instincts."
3413Keisei doesn't try to put it in numbers.
3414"I'm not so sure. But, I guess that might be an accurate answer."
3415"What do you mean? We can't enter Satou for a while, we also can't enter Karuizawa."
3416Keisei was confused by a situation that was not understood.
3417"Don't worry about that ~ In short, these two people can be excluded."
3418"Others ......"
3419"But even if you exclude three people, you don't know what other people will do at all."
3420"Yes, but there are many girls who don't like Yamauchi-kun, and even if they intend to keep their promise to write Kiyopon's name, they will also write Yamauchi-kun's name in criticism"
3421"Even if you think psychologically, Kiyotaka won't fall down in any way. If you count and write most of the students who have the potential to leave school, if you try to save one of them, they will see Kiyotaka. Because they know Yamauchi is targeting him. The number of votes that follow will be spread. "
3422After hearing this incident, Keisei made a basis.
3423Even though Koenji is the prime candidate to gather the voice of criticism, basically it will be slightly reduced. Choosing the voice of criticism for Koenji, that means ignoring his abilities. Because there were several students dragging their feet, Koenji's position would retreat to the fourth or fifth position.
3424"That's right, Kiyotaka-kun."
3425"Yes, thank you. "
3426In Airi's heart, there should be anxiety that 10% of the remaining sounds will be selected.
3427But he did not show this anxiety, and chose to comfort me.
3428"In the end, Kiyopon is the quietest person."
3429"There is nothing I can do, even though my feelings are filled with anxiety."
3430"Don't worry, thanks to Horikita, the momentum is good for you, and this situation is on par with you being saved by him."
3431If there is no statement from Horikita, there may be many students who will not know any stories in it.
3432They will not think again, just write my name for help.
3433SanIt's easy to imagine this vision
3434"But ... where did Horikita-san know of Yamauchi-kun's betrayal?"
3435Suddenly, a question like that appeared in Airi.
3436"Because our group is Kiyotaka-kun's friend, it's normal that the story doesn't reach our ears, isn't Horikita-san's situation similar? ..."
3437"That's right ... Horikita did not show any specific actions in forming that group."
3438Yamauchi might be angry about this problem now. He might think that someone in a large group he formed had betrayed him and even sent information to Horikita.
3439I can't pay attention or show that fact in the past.
3440"Even though I don't know who, but shouldn't he be someone who doesn't want Kiyopon to leave school?"
3441"Yes, that's not something bad."
3442That is Kei, no one is aware of who he is.

3449PART 5
3450 
3451On the way back to the hostel.
3452We found that Hirata was sitting listless on the bench.
3453Even though other people saw it, they would hesitate to talk to him.
3454It was because of a situation they had never seen before.
3455"He seems quite stressed."
3456"Yes. It's not like Hirata."
3457Both Haruka and Akito immediately understood the disorder.
3458"I think I'll try to talk a little."
3459"Forget it, Kiyotaka. Now keep letting yourself be better?"
3460"Maybe, but there are some things that make me a little worried."
3461"What are you worried about?"
3462"Sorry, come back first. If I talk to Hirata with lots of people, I don't think he will welcome him."
3463"... I understand. But tomorrow is voting day, you better not upset him. To be honest, I don't know who Hirata will choose at this time."
3464I nodded in response to Akito's suggestion and left the group.
3465Everyone understood the situation and went to the dorm without stopping me. - this decision really helped me.
3466Before I called him, I took a picture of Hirata's depression with a camera in the distance.
3467Then I put the sentence under the photo and sent a text message to Kei.
3468"Hirata."
3469In order not to let go of this opportunity, I will talk to him from behind.
3470"...... Ayanokouji-kun."
3471"Can you spend your time?"
3472"No problem. Me too, um, I want to say a few things to you."
3473Maybe, Hirata has been waiting for me.
3474Otherwise, sitting in a cold place like this really has no meaning.
3475He did not sit in the middle of the bench, but sat on one of the edge of the bench.
3476Can be seen fully, on the remaining part of the bench is intended to greet someone.
3477I sit in the empty part.
3478"A warm spring is coming soon."
3479"Yes."
3480"I ... ... I think everyone can feel that spring ... No, I'm still sure somewhere from the bottom of my heart."
3481Even if something similar to class collapse occurs, Hirata still says this.
3482Even though people see a bad and unattractive appearance, the parts that make up themselves don't change.
3483"Do you hate losing someone ..."
3484"This is a problem that we cannot resolve. Is it me or Yamauchi-kun, or someone else who will be a victim."
3485From Hirata's side, I can't see his emotions.
3486"I wonder if I can leave it to you."
3487"What did you ask me?"
3488"For class C. In the future, I want you to lead and replace me."
3489"Don't say anything that doesn't make sense. I can't do something that great. Hirata, if you want to keep people in class, you have to do it yourself."
3490"That's impossible, I can't do it anymore ..."
3491He was disgusted with himself who could not make a decision. It is not surprising that he has produced such an idea.
3492However, it is not limited to this.
3493"I made the same mistake again. I clearly reflected it at that time ..."
3494In his eyes, tears emerged from remorse.
3495I wonder how much Hirata suffered from this additional test problem.
3496"If you do it with your abilities, I can safely entrust that class to you."
3497A white breath came out suddenly.
3498There is no such thing as a class center figure that is charming and worthy of emulation.
3499"In this test, you only need to write my name, Yamauchi-kun, and Horikita-san."
3500"Leave the decision to the students.
3501There was no need for Hirata to choose one of the three to leave school.
3502The remaining 39 people will make their own choices.
3503"After all, you're really great, Ayanokouji-kun."
3504"I'm not so great."
3505"When I was sitting here, Horikita-san and Yamauchi-kun came to me separately. Horikita-san asked me to choose Yamauchi-kun, and Yamauchi-kun asked me to choose her. Even though their opinions were different, you didn't try drop, you don't do it. "
3506Because from a strategic point of view, this is better.
3507This is really not a good idea to force Hirata to choose for herself.
3508Just because I came to this conclusion, I said that.
3509"It's nice to talk to you. Looks like I can see the answer."
3510"No problem. "
3511Hirata got up.
3512He has found a way to overcome this test.
3513However, I don't agree with him.
3514"We, go back to the dorm."
3515He urged me to leave, and I didn't say a word to Hirata on the way back to the dorm.

3524CHAPTER 6
3525 
3526OTHER CLASS IDEAS.
3527 
3528In this test, the attitude of class D from the beginning until now has not changed.
3529Because, when additional examinations were announced, about 90% of students in the class had reached conclusions.
3530Even on Friday, the day before the test, their conclusions did not change.
3531Let 'Ryuuen' get expelled of school.
3532Most students don't immediately say it, nor do they discuss each other. They only make such determination from the bottom of their hearts.
3533So far, Ryuuen has led the class with its policies driven by dictatorships. However, it is difficult to say that the results are good for praise, the results of this policy are not very good. In fact, they fell from class C and were in the last position.
3534Many students suffer because they are dominated by violence and intimidation. The root of all evil, is Ryuuen, who takes the opportunity to break into weak minds and create conditions that cannot be denied by people. Without Ryuuen, even though we don't go up to class B, we won't fall into class D. There are many students who think like that.
3535On the third day of the exam, many students in Class D consistently choose their targets. Be sure to write Ryuuen's name in criticism. Don't let the remaining 2 sounds spread and concentrate on one person. This is to make sure Ryuuen leaves school.
3536Although Ishizaki did not expect Ryuuen to leave school, on the surface, he was considered the main actor who defeated Ryuuen. Because of this, he assumed the responsibility of being the group's central figure and gathering the voice of criticism.
3537When Ryuuen learned about the contents of the exam, he understood Ishizaki's problem and his classmates who would be the target of feeling release.
3538Then he decided. He will leave school in this exam, and he will not reject anything.
3539That's why he decided to enjoy the remaining time before the end of the additional exam.
3540He must think about what he will plan after leaving school.
3541Therefore, living in a classroom after school is a waste of time for him.
3542Ryuuen immediately left the classroom.
3543Ibuki who saw his back, thinking of how to meet him after school.
3544So far, Ryuuen usually invites itself, but now there is no such thing anymore.
3545A shadow crosses Ibuki, who is looking at Ryuuen.
3546"Your face is very gloomy. Don't you want Ryuuen-kun to come out so much?"
3547"Ha ... you again, do you like to involve me so often?"
3548"No. I pity you. After all, because Ryuuen-kun will be released, your presence will get thinner in class."
3549Shiho Manabe, a classmate, said that to provoke Ibuki. He is the central figure of the women's group.
3550From the time he entered school, Ibuki was a girl who was not suitable and opposed to each other, therefore Manabe was not satisfied and complained to Ibuki who was nominated by Ryuuen.
3551That incident, made Manabe feel annoyed from inside his heart.
3552His provocative actions seemed to vent his anger.
3553"Will Ibuki-san criticize me?"
3554"Come on."
3555"Please, criticize me. I will criticize you too. We can do it to each other."
3556"... Ah, that."
3557Manabe is rather upset by this unresponsive response.
3558Because he really wanted to see Ibuki getting angry and worried.
3559"Besides Ibuki-san, I'm not going to leave school isn't that safe? Even if there are some people who praise Ryuuen-kun, but 30 or more criticisms will still be there."
3560That's because Ryuuen isn't in class now, so Manabe is bullish, even though most students in the class also have the same attitude as him.
3561Ishizaki got up from the chair.
3562Additional examinations will begin tomorrow.
3563Once the exam starts, he can't do anything.
3564"Accompany me for a while, Ibuki!"
3565Ishizaki comes to two people who stare at each other.
3566"...... It's okay but ..."
3567Even though Ibuki was feeling depressed, he still followed Ishizaki's words and left the class with him
3568Ibuki believes that if he moves away from Manabe, this situation is the best.
3569"Even though you can pretend to be relaxed, after Ryuuen-kun is expelled from school, you're the next one."
3570As the class ruler, Manabe sent bullish comments to Ibuki.
3571"So, where did you go?"
3572Ibuki who heads to the corridor, takes his eyes off Manabe, and asks Ishizaki.
3573"Actually ... I just want to talk a little about that. What about the personal points that Ryuuen-san has?"
3574"What? Of course, he holds it."
3575"You haven't taken it yet? The exam will start tomorrow. If he drops out of school, the points will disappear."
3576"Who first said not to take it?"
3577"That ... At that time I didn't really care about personal points ..."
3578"If you want to take it, why don't you go directly to him and bow your head? "
3579"I can't do anything like that."
3580Because Ibuki understood this problem, he deliberately said it.
3581"After all, you are the key figure who defeated Ryuuen. If you relate to him, you will be suspected - isn't" they think you betrayed him? ""
3582For Ishizaki who wants to stop Ryuuen from dropping out of school, this kind of expansion is the right thing to do.
3583However, if such a thing is done, the next turn is Ishizaki who is at risk of being expelled. Most importantly, it won't be able to continue to maintain the fact that 'Ishizaki made Ryuuen lose his power.' Because of that, he couldn't contact Ryuuen.
3584He wants to be saved while he wants to save Ryuuen.
3585He suffered from a contradictory situation.
3586"I ... Damn, what should I do."
3587"The best solution is to let 'Ryuuen come out.' You know this too, right? "
3588"Is this really good? Do you think we can win in the future when Ryuuen leaves school?"
3589"Even though he doesn't make achievements, we can go up to the upper class together. It's just that they can't understand and understand Ryuuen's actions."
3590"He is indeed a gambler, but if there is no such person, it is impossible to be promoted to Class A."
3591Class A, there is Sakayanagi who has high overall strength and is also very wary of Ryuuen.
3592Class B, Ichinose has high cohesion and stable results.
3593And class C, has Ayanokouji who has the ability to suppress Ryuuen, and he has endless knowledge and strategies.
3594The difference in strength as a class is clear.
3595There is a strong image in Ishizaki.
3596Only monsters can play against groups of monsters like that.
3597Ryuuen is not a student who must leave this exam.
3598"Well, I admit that Ryuuen isn't normal."
3599In Ibuki's heart, there are also some thoughts like that.
3600Despite losing to Ayanokouji, Ryuuen's evaluation didn't drop significantly.
3601Ryuuen has certain abilities that Sakayanagi and Ichinose don't have.
3602That ability can even reach Ayanokouji. In Ibuki's heart, he thought like that.
3603"Damn ..."
3604Ishizaki is upset.
3605Ibuki narrowed her eyes and looked at Ishizaki who was annoyed, and she began to think.
3606He wants to know what he can do in this exam?
3607Ishizaki is a temperament man, but he is still trying hard to overcome this test.
3608Even though, he can't save Ryuuen, he keeps thinking of 'helping him'.
3609It is true. Ibuki can't do it as much as Ishizaki.
3610Ibuki realized that he was in a class that his classmates hated.
3611If, Ryuuen is really out of school, then Ibuki will be the next target.
3612Manabe's statement is not just a joke.
3613Even so, as long as he is honest, he will be saved.
3614Or maybe he will see something different in the future.
3615This is the most important reason that holds Ibuki.
3616He remembered the words 'man'.
3617"This test is not so simple. Saying 'I want to help' can make other people be released.
3618'The man' is fully aware of Ibuki's heart and mind.
3619Because of that, he didn't take it seriously.
3620"Hey, Ishizaki."
3621"What  ...?"
3622"You don't want Ryuuen to come out, is that true?"
3623"... Yes. I'm not lying."
3624"I see."
3625No one will receive more criticism than Ryuuen.
3626"Even though I don't want to admit it, it seems like I have the same thoughts as you. You must remember this. Even if Ryuuen dropped out of school, the next one is me."
3627After Ryuuen left school, the next person was Ibuki.
3628That reality reappeared.
3629"I'll go see Ryuuen tonight and take his personal points. Maybe I can only do this."
3630For the future of Class D, these personal points will remain and be used.
3631This can be used as a form of Ryuuen's regret.
3632"You're sure, can you do this ...?"
3633"This is all I can do."
3634Ibuki decided.
3635Take all the personal points from Ryuuen.
3636If these personal points can be used for Class D, this 'property' must be taken.
3637PART 1
3638 
3639Evening. Ibuki visited Ryuuen's room without prior notice.
3640A loud knock from the door, again echoed in the hallway.
3641After waiting for a while, the door opened.
3642"So, you?"
3643"... What are you doing?"
3644Ryuuen's naked body was naked and her lower body was wearing tight shorts.
3645"If I say, will do something bad, will you be afraid?"
3646"I will kick your egg and go straight back to my room."
3647"Kukuku. I just took a shower, come in."
3648Her hair is still wet, and it looks like she's really just finished showering.
3649While wary of playing Ryuuen's words, Ibuki enters his room.
3650This was the first time in a year he entered his room.
3651There were various small objects which were placed unexpectedly, and the impression of the room was different from that of the man.
3652"You don't have to want to spend the night with me before I leave school, right? "
3653Ibuki, who did not intend to hear the play of his words for a long time, went straight to his business.
3654"Give me all the personal points you have."
3655"Oh? Didn't you say you didn't want to take it before, then handed it back to me?"
3656While cleaning her hair with a towel, Ryuuen took out a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator.
3657He did not hand over the mineral water to Ibuki, and immediately opened the bottle and drank it himself.
3658"In this test, you have no way to survive. That means you will lose your point when leaving school."
3659"Yes. If I leave school and hold personal points, everything will disappear."
3660A confidential contract with Class A will be terminated and will not provide any benefit to Class D.
3661"Let me give it to them, so that it can be used better."
3662"You're really brash."
3663"It's also in your mind, right? If you don't plan to give it to someone else, you should have spent the point. But you didn't do it. So I want you to send it to me."
3664Ryuuen is very honest lately.
3665Surely he only uses a few hundred or thousands of personal points.
3666"Kukuku, I'll say it. OK, take it. However, there's no point in saving this money."
3667In front of Ibuki, Ryuuen laughed.
3668Then he took the cellphone and started operating it.
3669Personal point submissions only need a few steps. All assets held by Ryuuen were transferred to Ibuki's cellphone.
3670"I've received it. Now you're not needed, Ryuuen."
3671After Ibuki said this, he intended to return his cellphone, but Ryuen grabbed his arm.
3672Then he pushed Ibuki to the wall.
3673"Wait, what are you doing!"
3674Ibuki kicked him reflexively, but Ryuuen easily stopped his movements using one hand.
3675"I don't hate your militant character."
3676"Hah!?"
3677Even though Ibuki didn't know what Ryuuen was going to do, he tried to fight it, but Ryuuen smiled and let go.
3678It seems that this is Ryuuen's final farewell.
3679"Even though you're strong but in my eyes, you have too many gaps. You can't defeat Suzune."
3680"Think of your own business."
3681"Well, Ibuki."
3682Ryuuen should have lost interest, and she looked away from Ibuki.
3683Then Ibuki hurried to the door to leave.
3684A little silence flows when Ibuki wears shoes.
3685"Do you have fun at this school?"
3686Ibuki guarded his back and heard something like that from Ryuuen.
3687"What?"
3688"It is okay. "
3689If he observed the usual Ryuuen, he could understand something like that.
3690Ryuuen is not satisfied.
3691Because he planned to leave school calmly without feeling satisfied.
3692Ibuki stood up, opened the door and a cold wind blew into the room.
3693"Goodbye. "
3694Ibuki left parting words and closed the door.
3695There is no one in the corridor at night.
3696A large number of personal points are displayed on the mobile screen.
3697He just closed the screen, but that only made him feel empty.
3698Ibuki went to the hallway and made a phone call.
3699He doesn't care whether the other party is sleeping.
3700If the person falls asleep, he intends to leave a voice message and close the call.
3701However, the person picks up the phone before the second ring.
3702"It's me. I've taken all of Ryuuen's personal points."
3703He reports the results to someone who must be notified and complete his work.
3704By telephone, the man said he wanted to meet him in person.
3705"Ok, but ... ..."
3706Besides, he is out now.
3707Ibuki agreed to this request and decided to go to the man's room.

3721 
3722Still, Friday on the same day before the end of the additional exam.
3723After school, students in class B live in class.
3724Without one student absent, and all in the classroom.
3725The person standing in front of the class is not Hoshinomiya-sensei who is B class guardian, but Ichinose Honami.
3726"Everyone, thank you for staying as usual today. I really appreciate you for listening to my selfish requests."
3727After the additional examinations were announced, Ichinose said one thing to his classmates.
3728"I hope everyone has a good relationship and lead a normal life the day before the exam."
3729He only has one request.
3730He only said this to his classmates and did not say the details of the strategy.
3731Even if the relationship between students stiffens, there is no benefit.
3732Because in this exam, someone will leave school.
3733Class B students were not surprised even though they felt anxious, but they faithfully followed this request.
3734They obeyed Ichinose's words. Only then can he help Class B, they understand this from him for this year.
3735As seorateacher, Hoshinomiya-sensei who listened to Ichinose's story in class, felt a little worried. As one of the teachers who felt that this additional test was absurd, he felt sorry for class B who suffered. At present, the class is strong and charming because no one left school in his class and the students were well united. If anyone comes out here, it will bring anxiety in class.
3736"I think everyone is very worried. However, I hope you can calm down. I won't let anyone leave school in our class."
3737While everyone has deep anxiety in their eyes, Ichinose said that. Even though his words are good news, it will also raise doubts.
3738"Doesn't matter, Ichinose ... are you saying this with confidence?"
3739If he only lies to give peace to his classmates, it is best not to say it on this occasion.
3740This is Kanzaki's consideration.
3741"We don't mind, Ichinose, because we are ready for that."
3742Even if Ichinose doesn't know what to do, Shibata won't blame him - he shows this attitude.
3743But Ichinose repeats that again.
3744"No problem. Kanzaki-kun, once told me that 'people who have the ability but don't use their abilities, then that person is a fool.'' So I try as much as I can. "
3745Everyone here won't leave. He has such confidence.
3746"... Then let me listen to your strategy, how do you plan to prevent 'dropping out of school in class'."
3747However, if it has no basis, this is only an illusion from Ichinose.
3748"In this additional test, if you want to let everyone be safe, isn't there only one way?"
3749"Yes, only 20 million personal points can be used to cancel school withdrawals."
3750"In this case, I want everyone in the class to entrust the personal points that you hold to me, now. Even though they will lose points until April, everyone will be saved."
3751"But, it won't reach 20 million personal points?"
3752Shibata, her classmate, looked around and said to everyone.
3753He has counted many times, but it is difficult to achieve.
3754With a few million points left, this gap is too big.
3755"No problem, right? If Honami-chan says like that, just give it."
3756The girls did not ask for the details and immediately sent their personal points to Ichinose.
3757Because a number of personal points are often given to him every month, the procedure for sending them is normal.
3758"Well, that's true."
3759Shibata also followed and began operating his cellphone.
3760After being trusted by his classmates, he immediately received all the personal points they held from his friends.
3761The total number shown on cell phones is almost close to 16 million personal points.
3762"Well, that's according to the calculations, still lacking 4 million personal points."
3763"How do you plan to cover up the lack of points? I'm not sure that other classes or other senpai will lend us such a large amount."
3764While Kanzaki sent points, he asked for an answer.
3765When Ichinose borrowed personal points from Nagumo, he promised not to say anything to others.
3766However, because they had all reached this point, he could not keep secret from his friend, right now.
3767So yesterday, Ichinose asked permission from Nagumo and he allowed him to say to his classmates except for the terms of the transaction.
3768"Student council leader Nagumo will help. After I discuss this with him, he promises to help cover up the shortcomings."
3769"Will the student council president give it? Can he give a large number of points?"
3770"Yes. He showed me the number of personal points he held."
3771After getting a request from Ichinose, Nagumo immediately proved that he had a large number of personal points.
3772"Of course I have to return it."
3773"What is the interest rate on the debt repayment plan?"
3774"Whether or not there is interest, will it affect the results?"
3775"No, no. I don't think I can replace my partner even though the interest rate is high."
3776In that case, Kanzaki also agreed with Ichinose.
3777However, he considered that it was necessary to understand the details in the future.
3778He feels responsible for 'questions that other students cannot ask.'
3779Ichinose is grateful Kanzaki took this responsibility.
3780He is an important partner who listens to the enthusiasm of the students.
3781"The debt repayment period is 3 months and there is no interest."
3782"That means the amount borrowed will not change ..."
3783In this difficult situation, it is not surprising if the other party will charge more.
3784Student council leader Nagumo lent points to class B without interest. For class B, he is like a savior.
3785"I thought it would be troublesome for everyone for a while ... Is that not k problem? "
3786"Amazing ... ... Really, Ichinose-san! I'm so happy!"
3787No classmates showed expressions of dissatisfaction.
3788Because with this, it is not possible for students in the class to leave school.
3789This is the resolution of Ichinose Honami, who wants to protect his friends.

3810PART 3
3811 
3812At midnight. Ichinose made a phone call to Nagumo.
3813To fulfill the exam tomorrow, he must confirm.
3814"Nagumo-senpai, this is Ichinose."
3815"Honami, did you call me to say that?"
3816"Yes. I talked to everyone in Class B today. So I want to confirm this problem with Senpai."
3817"I will not change the conditions that I am proposing. You must collect all personal points from your classmates and collect as many as you can. It is impossible to 'save everyone without sharing the same pain'.
3818"Well, I guess so too."
3819Nagumo lends personal points while leaving their pocket money - this kind of assistance is not possible easily.
3820This is one of the conditions proposed by Nagumo.
3821Nagumo holds a large number of personal points, which are close to 10 million.
3822However, it is certain that all of those personal points will not be loaned out. Even if he does not mention this condition, he will lead in minimizing the amount of the loan, which he should do.
3823"How many points to cover the shortcomings?"
3824"There are still 404,309 points."
3825"In this way. I can lighten the minimum burden. Even so it's unavoidable, I will still bear considerable losses in the future."
3826"Yes ... ..."
3827Nagumo's burden was very heavy.
3828If in the next exam, a student in his class is issued, it is possible to save the person.
3829But at that time, it was impossible to cancel the expulsion because he had lent 4 million personal points.
3830Ichinose knew even though it hurt but he really appreciated that help.
3831"I'm really sorry, letting you hear my irreverent request."
3832"No problem. After all, you won't let anyone go. This is really your style. But there are conditions to lend points to you. Do you remember?"
3833"... Yes. I remember, that ... Dating Nagumo-senpai, right?"
3834"Yes. As long as you agree to this condition, I will immediately send you personal points."
3835"... The deadline is 12pm, right?"
3836"Are you still confused? Don't you want to avoid casualties in your class?"
3837"Of course. I'm just feeling a little worried."
3838"Anxious?"
3839Something he will say is swallowed again, and then after a while he says it.
3840"Senpai ... um ... do you like me?"
3841"What?"
3842"Ah, no. I'm really sorry about this rude question ... But I think what is called courtship is based on this kind of feeling ..."
3843"If I hate you, I will not ask for such conditions."
3844Nagumo answered without hesitation.
3845Even though Ichinose was satisfied with his words, he still couldn't hide his anxiety.
3846"If you agree, I will send it now."
3847"Please wait. I think ... I want to work hard until the very end."
3848"Don't you have a few more days?"
3849Every time, the deadline given by Nagumo is getting closer.
3850"You can't borrow personal points from class 2 or 3? You also can't borrow it from the first class as an opponent."
3851Only Nagumo can borrow more than 4 million personal points.
3852Nagumo was also very aware of this.
3853However, Nagumo did not pursue Ichinose deeply.
3854However, when the time is almost up, he will come and depend on him.
3855"You have to remember. I don't have much time."
3856"Yes. I'll contact you later."
3857After completing the call, Ichinose took a deep breath.
3858Then he leaned against the wall.
3859Protecting his classmates. That was the top priority for Ichinose more than anything.
3860Because Nagumo said that he wanted to help himself, he had to accept his condition.
3861However, Ichinose does not have a romantic experience.
3862He never thought it was natural to date someone this way.
3863More than that ... In his heart said it was a mistake.
3864There is no meaning for both of them to interact with each other if they don't like each other.
3865It also means nothing if only one party has that feeling.
3866However, once you are dating, you cannot easily decide.
3867"Ha ... I'm ready, I've decided ..."
3868Time passes until 9pm.
3869Within three hours, Ichinose must respond.
3870He exhaled a heavy breath.
3871Even so, he can help his classmates as long as he is patient.
3872If this is the best and the only way ...
3873However, before the final determination, his heart suddenly stopped.
3874If he agrees with this condition, he will miss himself.
3875His feelings are very sad.
3876"It's no use, think of myself."
3877he thought about it again.
3878If he doesn't agree with Nagumo's negotiations, someone will leave Class B.
3879"... OK."
3880Bang - he patted his cheek.
3881"I want to - take care of everything."
3882Ichinose made a decision and smiled lightly.
3883   
3884 
3885 
3886 
3887 
3888PART 4
3889 
3890A few days before Ichinose decided to accept the conditions from Nagumo.
3891Return to the day when the additional examinations are announced.
3892For class A, unlike other classes, this additional test is welcome.
3893Because they come to conclusions faster and more definitively than some other classes.
3894"After you discuss it, you will arrive at the conclusion on the test day."
3895Class A guardian teacher has finished explaining additional exam rules.
3896In the remaining time given to students, Sakayanagi spoke directly without standing up from his seat.
3897"In this additional test, I want Katsuragi-kun to leave school."
3898Sakayanagi nominates it without hesitation.
3899Katsuragi closed her eyes and crossed her arms, not moving.
3900"You, what do you mean? This is too cruel!"
3901Yahiko Totsuka, who admired Katsuragi, was the only one who showed resistance.
3902"Yahiko, calm down."
3903But Katsuragi stopped Totsuka.
3904"Yes, but Katsuragi!"
3905"I intend to accept this result."
3906"There seems to be no objection. That means no one is against this decision."
3907Most class A have joined the Sakayanagi faction. Although some people were not happy with it, it was not enough to overthrow the opposition.
3908In order to pass peacefully and safely, they will continue to be Sakayanagi's partners.
3909Only Totsuka tried to fight about Katsuragi's fate.
3910Katsuragi really understood that his actions were meaningless.
3911"In that case, I will make a decision. Katsuragi-kun will sacrifice to leave school in this additional test. Please raise your hand if you agree."
3912His classmates raised their hands together.
3913Besides Totsuka and Katsuragi, as well as Sakayanagi, all 37 students agreed.
3914Mashima-sensei seemed to have predicted this situation, and he quietly averted his gaze.
3915"With this, the discussion about this additional exam is complete."
3916"Do you think this is good!"
3917"Yahiko, it's okay."
3918Even though Totsuka refused until the last moment, but Katsuragi did not intend to refute Sakayanagi.
3919"After all, the contract I made is still valid, class A doesn't have the advantage of flowing points to Ryuuen from class D. I have to take this responsibility."
3920"Yes, but because of this, you get class points! We don't lose! And because class D also has to get someone out, they will choose Ryuuen! If so, you don't need to leave school, because your contract with Ryuuen will automatically not apply ! "
3921Totsuka fiercely opposed the theory.
3922"Just because you are the leader of this class, doesn't mean you are free to decide!"
3923"Yahiko, don't say that again."
3924Katsuragi held Totsuka to calm himself down. With a tone that is stronger than before.
3925"Katsuragi ......!"
3926Even if Katsuragi would be expelled from school in a very painful situation, he tried to be calm.
3927Totsuka leaned back in his chair as if to hit himself, in frustration.
3928"Even though you keep saying you don't care? After all, your comment is very interesting."
3929"No problem. After all, no one objected to this policy. I will leave school."
3930"That's right. Then listen to Katsuragi-kun's opinion, and we do it."
3931With less than five minutes of discussion, class A comes to the conclusion of this additional examination.
3932Katsuragi stood up and walked to the corridor to be alone.
3933After that, Totsuka rushed after him and came to him.
3934"Katsuragi, you really don't mind going!"
3935"... It can't be helped. In this test, students who have rights in the class have a huge advantage. Even if I fight, I can't overcome criticism from Sakayanagi."
3936"Yes, but there should be some students who are not satisfied with Sakayanagi, just collect them—"
3937"You have helped me so far. I am very grateful to you."
3938"Katsuragi ... ..."
3939"After I leave school, you must follow Sakayanagi. If you arbitrarily fight it, the next person who will leave school is you, Yahiko."
3940That was because Katsuragi understood this, so he wanted to avoid the conflict between Sakayanagi and Totsuka.
3941"This is the last instruction I gave you."
3942"......, ugh, ... !!"
3943Totsuka whose face was filled with regret, he could only shake his head in despair. the name mentioned, his attitude did not change from usual.
3944"Masumi-san."
3945"Is there something?"
3946"... No, nothing."
3947Sakayanagi felt that asking her was a waste of time, so she changed her mind.
3948A calm and thorough assessment of Sakayanagi does not have a human touch.
3949Sakayanagi thought it was a good idea to show Kamuro because he was a similar person.
3950Phone calls broke the silence between the two.
3951Sakayanagi takes out the cell phone from his pocket.
3952He smiled and accepted the call happily.
3953"I'm glad to hear you, Yamauchi-kun, I think it's time to contact."
3954"You're very strange ..."
3955It is not surprising that Sakayanagi recently communicated with Yamauchi like this.
3956Chat every day, talk about some useless topics.
3957"Today? Okay, no problem. See you later. But I have something to do later. I'll see you later."
3958Kamuro immediately understood that the call was Yamauchi's love call.
3959"I'm walking now, so I'll call you again later."
3960This is what Sakayanagi said, only after a few seconds of a telephone call.
3961"In short, I have to go to Yamauchi-kun at night."
3962"You seem to be in touch with Yamauchi a lot. What are you going to plan for?"
3963"Because I care about him."
3964"Do you care? Say ... Do you like it?"
3965"Does this feel strange? If I like it."
3966While remembering Yamauchi's appearance, Kamuro shook his head from side to side.
3967"Are you kidding me?"
3968"Yes, this is a joke."
3969"Hey ..."
3970"I practice to be able to use it as a C-class spy."
3971"It's not easy to attend training like that ......"
3972"Not like that, an interesting test was announced and I intend to make it an experiment."
3973For Kamuro, Sakayanagi said that as half the truth and half lies.
3974Even though Kamuro is his assistant, as long as he can't trust others completely, he must hide it while talking.
3975"The first step is to meet him today. In this way, you can understand some of my goals."
3976Sakayanagi who thought about the next development, happily laughed.

3988PART 6
3989 
3990In the evening
3991Sakayanagi and Kamuro joined Yamauchi at Keyaki Mall.
3992In order not to let others see their meeting, the karaoke room was deliberately chosen as a gathering place.
3993"Kamuro-chan ... is also here now."
3994"Sorry, I'm still a little shy when dating alone."
3995"It's okay! I also like dating like this!"
3996Yamauchi tried to smile, so as not to be hated by him.
3997To be honest, he wants to be alone with Sakayanagi, and then confess to him.
3998After that, he will become his official lover, but he stops this urge.
3999"Yamauchi-kun, are you okay with this additional test?"
4000"What?"
4001"No. If you can handle it, it's a good thing, only ..."
4002Sakayanagi accidentally stopped.
4003"If Yamauchi-kun leaves school, I can't see you anymore. I just don't want that to happen."
4004This attitude of pretending to Sakayanagi made Kamuro feel disgusted, but he did not show it on his face.
4005This is only part of the game.
4006If he reacts to it, it will only make him tired.
4007"I, I hate that too!"
4008"Our feelings are the same, aren't we?"
4009Sakayanagi stroked his chest.
4010"If you have a problem, I can help you."
4011"But ─"
4012"It's true that me and Yamauchi-kun are enemies, but in this additional test, it's a little different. There's no factor in competing with other classes."
4013"Of course ... ..."
4014"But, on the contrary, I might be able to help other classes."
4015"Help ...?"
4016This idea was thought by Yamauchi.
4017"For example, I will give a voice of praise to Yamauchi-kun."
4018After Yamauchi heard this sentence, he swallowed his own saliva.
4019The sound of praise given by another class - even if it's only one vote, he wants to get it.
4020This is something that is very desirable and necessary for students who are candidates for dropping out of school.
4021"You, do you really want to help me?"
4022"If you're having trouble, I'll help you."
4023Even though these gentle words made Yamauchi feel happy, he pretended to be calm.
4024In his life, even though he was never that close to a girl, it would be very embarrassing for him to let others know that he had no love experience.
4025"Actually ... They are really jealous of me in class. I'm worried that a group of people will criticize me."
4026"Jealous of you?"
4027"Yes. Besides, the only person who can meet you like this is just me."
4028"That's right, but I'm not interested in other boys."
4029Yamauchi could not say that he was a candidate dropping out of school because of his poor grades.
4030But, Yamauchi wanted Sakayanagi to see himself great, while he also wanted to get away pat help.
4031"I understand. Then to help Yamauchi-kun, I will teach you a secret plan."
4032"Secret, secret plan?"
4033"Yes. Gather more than half of your friends in the class and pull them. Then target someone and force him to come out."
4034"But ... if I do that, I might be a target ...!"
4035"That's right. Everyone is afraid to be a leader. Because if you do something that hurts your friend carelessly, you can make that critical voice turn to yourself."
4036Yamauchi nodded.
4037"So I'll help you."
4038"How, how do you do it?"
4039"In class A, there are around 20 friends who adore me. I will beg them to vote for Yamauchi-kun."
4040"Eh !?"
4041"Isn't there a classmate who will vote for praise to Yamauchi-kun? Even though you collected more than 30 voices of criticism from your friends, basically you can cancel each other out. So you won't come out."
4042"You, are you serious?"
4043"Of course. However, even if you collect 20 votes of praise, it's not at all safe. Therefore you must be a leader and force a student out."
4044"But, who should expelled?"
4045"Of course ... We can't rule out good students for Class C. Masumi-san, do you have a suitable candidate?"
4046"... What about Ayanokouji?"
4047"Ayanokouji-kun? I've heard of his name ..."
4048"Ah, simply ... he's a weak person."
4049"There's no need to say the details. It looks like this student is very suitable. Is Yamauchi-kun's relationship with him good enough?"
4050"That, of course! He's just a classmate!"
4051"Then let the person be a victim."
4052"But ... ..."
4053A feeling of wanting to be saved goes against guilt for sacrificing his classmates.
4054However, although he did not want to accept it, he could understand it. Of course, he wants to prioritize protecting his feelings.
4055"I think it hurts your heart to cut your own classmates in any relationship. So don't think too deeply. Just imagine he is the student we decided randomly."
4056Even though it hurt Yamauchi. He tried to smile.
4057"After the exam, next Monday, can you meet me alone next time? There's something I want to say to Yamauchi-kun. That's very important."
4058"!"
4059This sentence fully reaches Yamauchi.
4060He thought about it randomly, and decided that this was Sakayanagi's intention to confess to himself.
4061To achieve this, he must prevent himself from leaving school.
4062The most important thing is that if he does not succeed in completing the plan mentioned by Sakayanagi, he might be hated.
4063He is busy with such thoughts.
4064"Let's start by setting aside people who might be close to Ayanokouji-kun. We can't let this get to his ears, and secretly letting him out is the best thing."
4065"I, I understand."
4066"There was a suggestion before, Yamauchi-kun."
4067"Suggestion ......?"
4068"Please, don't tell others that we will vote for praise to Yamauchi-kun, if you speak easily, it will risk making your fellow group hate you."
4069"Certainly ... ..."
4070If they knew that only Yamauchi was in a safe zone, that would obviously cause other people to become jealous and angry.
4071"I understand, I promise not to tell anyone else."
4072"Thank you."
4073"Only that... ."
4074"Is there something?"
4075"That, I don't doubt you at all, just ... Are you really going to give me a voice of praise?"
4076"You mean, do you want a written contract?"
4077"I'm very worried about this ..."
4078Of course, an oral agreement would worry Yamauchi, and this kind of thing would be very necessary.
4079"So, Yamauchi-kun thinks I will betray you? Even though doing this kind of thing is not good for me. But if you can't believe it ... It's as if we don't experience this conversation. Because you don't even believe me, that means we have to reconsider what we will do next week. "
4080"Wait, wait! II believe!"
4081Yamauchi desperately licked Sakayanagi who tried to cancel it.
4082"I'm sorry, doubting this ..."
4083"No problem. I understand your anxiety."
4084Sakayanagi smiled softly and gave the final suggestion to Yamauchi.
4085"Then ...... If a recording device is found in Yamauchi-kun, it will soon be destroyed. And at that moment my relationship and Yamauchi-kun are enemies."
4086"Don't worry. I will never do anything like that!"
4087"Thank you. Masumi-san, please check her body."
4088"Eh, me?"
4089"Please."
4090"... I understand."
4091Kamuro responded calmly and carried out a body check on Yamauchi.
4092"It's getting more interesting, isn't it?"
4093This is just a simple game.
4094In the heart of Sakayanagi, the results were decided from the beginning.
4095After Yamauchi returned to the dormitory, Sakayanagi remained karaoke with Kamuro.
4096"You're still haven't come home yet? "
4097It was around 8 o'clock.
4098Because students can only stay until 9 o'clock, so there will be a servant who urges them to leave.
4099"Masumi-san, what do you think of my strategy this time?"
4100"I thought that ..."
4101"Ayanokouji-kun is not an ordinary person, you must understand this!"
4102"Yes. Besides, your interest in Ayanokouji is very strong, right?"
4103"It shouldn't be just this, right? Masumi-san should also watch it carefully and feel it."
4104Even though Kamuro didn't know the details, the student had mysterious and unpleasant things.
4105This is Kamuro's impression on Ayanokouji.
4106"He is strong."
4107"... ... is it very strong?"
4108"Even Katsuragi-kun and Ryuuen-kun or Ichinose-san aren't the opponents at all."
4109"Oh? Then, how about you?"
4110"Let's see ?"
4111"...... It sounds bad, if you say it like that."
4112Kamuro thought he would immediately answer 'I can win', so he was shocked.
4113"Of course I can win. But he really isn't seen. No. It's a little different. Maybe I have hope that Ayanokoji-Kun is someone who will lose."
4114This is an extraordinary feeling that he hasn't even noticed.
4115"I hope I can see it seriously before he is forced to leave school."
4116Sakayanagi hopes that from the bottom of his heart.
4117 
4118PART 7
4119 
4120That's what happened on Tuesday. The next day, Sakayanagi received a report from Yamauchi.
4121He personally taught him how to act and how to stand the test.
4122At the same time, the chess pieces placed in the Kamuro area themselves were promoted.
4123"Is that so, are they those who criticize Ayanokouji-kun?
4124A total of 21 people. Sakayanagi can only sigh, this number is more than expected.
4125If Yamauchi does it alone, things won't develop smoothly.
4126"Yamauchi-kun."
4127"What?"
4128"It seems like it's the right thing to ask Kushida-san to act as an intermediary."
4129Kushida is the type of person who will act for his classmates.
4130"Well, that is. As Sakayanagi-chan said."
4131This is the right judgment, if 'he was asked by Yamauchi, he would not easily refuse'.
4132More importantly, Sakayanagi had learned some information regarding Kushida, and he was a little interested in that.
4133"When you asked him to help you, did you cry at him?"
4134"I, I didn't do such a shameful thing!"
4135As if he imagined he had cried, Sakayanagi and Kamuro looked at each other.
4136"That means the negotiation is perfect."
4137"Yes ... ..."
4138"So tomorrow I will tell you again who will be included in the group."
4139"I understand. "
4140The most important thing is tomorrow and Thursday.
4141Sakayanagi will assess how to bring his classmates to the group Yamauchi made.
4142After the phone was closed, Kamuro spoke.
4143"Kushida really helps in this kind of plan even though she has to let someone out of school."
4144"If Yamauchi-kun begs while crying, Kushida-san won't be able to avoid it. But even if you want to attract so many students, you need a certain level of communication skills. It seems that Kushida-san's communication skills are quite strong."
4145Sakayanagi takes the Queen's pawn and looks at Kamuro.
4146"What do you think the next situation will develop?"
4147"If this continues, the voice of criticism will gather in Ayanokouji and he will get expelled of school ... But if he is very strong as you say, what will he do?"
4148"What if he doesn't know, if he becomes a target, do you think he will still be ready?"
4149"I don't know what method he will use."
4150"He was always careful. Even though he didn't know he was being targeted now, he always thought about the nature of the test. He would not rule out the possibility, criticism gathered on him. If that was the case, he would take the first step."
4151"... How to deal with it?"
4152"Prove in front of everyone that there are students who are blocking the class. He can find reasons at will, as long as the student is incompetent, the effect will be more significant."
4153In Sakayanagi's mind, he was drawing a state of affairs in class C in the near future.
4154"For example, Yamauchi-kun. He intends to get rid of Ayanokouji-kun who cooperates with me, and has also started an action. If this incident comes to the surface, he will be an ideal target."
4155"For you, whether it's Ayanokouji or Yamauchi, it doesn't matter who leaves school, right?"
4156Sakayanagi takes the king with the other hand.
4157"No. Let the 'King' stay to the end."
4158In the end, Sakayanagi controls all the chess games.

4174The day before the exam, Friday night. Sakayanagi lives in the karaoke room for additional exam preparation tomorrow.
4175"What is the situation?"
4176Its members are Kamuro, Hashimoto and Kitou. Plus himself, there are 4 people.
4177"It seems like all who have done today, Horikita-san sniffed it and revealed that I was working with Yamauchi-kun. Where did the information leak? "
4178Sakayanagi holds fried potatoes and puts them in his mouth.
4179A student moves forward while observing the situation.
4180"Sakayanagi, the source of the information is Karuizawa. I told you it was better not to bring Karuizawa into the Yamauchi group so that I could safely remove Ayanokouji."
4181Hashimoto Masayoshi. As one of the Sakayanagi believers and has arbitrarily marked Ayanokouji.
4182During the reconnaissance process, he saw Karuizawa's contact with Ayanokouji, and he suggested about this strategy.
4183Although Sakayanagi accepted this suggestion and did not intend to withdraw Karuizawa into the group, Sakayanagi changed his policy after Thursday.
4184In the end, it leads to the current situation.
4185"To carry out this strategy perfectly, shouldn't we not let Ayanokouji know that he is targeted until the end of the exam?"
4186"Yes. I remember your advice. Ayanokouji-kun and Karuizawa-san might have an unusual relationship. If he found out, that information would not be avoided would get to Ayanokouji-kun."
4187That is why Sakayanagi decided to bring Karuizawa dominantly.
4188He passed Tuesday and Wednesday, deliberately choosing to divulge information on Thursday.
4189Then, observe the progress of the next day. To see the possibility of Karuizawa leaking information to Ayanokouji.
4190"Well, didn't you hit him badly, Sakayanagi?"
4191Kamuro who listened to this conversation, said a sentence like that.
4192Hashimoto began to analyze why Sakayanagi made things like this.
4193"If I enter Karuizawa-san, which is the center of the girls, so that I can focus criticism on Ayanokouji-kun, there is a possibility that the number of criticisms will exceed 20, to 30. I just want to be a little greedy."
4194"I know they will conduct experiments in class. It's only a matter of time."
4195"But if this problem is not disclosed, there might be an advantage for Yamauchi."
4196Sakayanagi listens to their opinions and feels happy to be able to escape.
4197"Even if you are a herbivore, as long as you understand that you will become bait, you will finally show resistance. However, I think that's why it's interesting. I really want to see what he will do and how he will fight the rest of the time. "
4198"You just want to see something like that, so you accidentally leaked information to Karuizawa?"
4199"After all, this is to confirm whether your suggestion is correct."
4200"But Ayanokouji had consulted Horikita, so it was exposed to his classmates. I did not understand the situation. But, because Yamauchi received the sound of praise from us, he would not come out. I could not imagine who would come out."
4201"Isn't it a mistake, making a treaty of criticism of Ayanokouji, limited to verbal agreement? How many people don't criticize Ayanokouji when they know of today's events?"
4202Criticism of Ayanokouji will decline sharply and criticism of Yamauchi will increase.
4203However, Yamauchi received 20 praises from Class A and got out of trouble.
4204As a result, it is not clear who will get more criticism.
4205After listening to Hashimoto and Kamuro's analysis, Sakayanagi laughed.
4206Sakayanagi has calculated the results.
4207Results not yet seen by Kamuro, Hashimoto, Yamauchi, and others.
4208Actions that lead to results come to mind.
4209He pulled out the cellphone that had been turned off.
4210As soon as the cell phone was turned on, he received a missed call and a short message from Yamauchi.
4211The sound of praise held by Class A.
4212Yamauchi wanted to know if they would really choose Yamauchi, he felt anxious and very upset about this.
4213"I forgot to tell everyone, this is a very important story about Yamauchi-kun."
4214This is what Sakayanagi said, and he did not hesitate to convey what he had forgotten.
4215(T / N: Sakayanagi recounts, Yamauchi happened to hit him while in a training camp. And that's where Sakayanagi hated Yamauchi.)

4217EPILOGUE

4219DROPOUT
4220 
4221Finally, Saturday morning where additional test days arrive.
4222All classes basically decide who will come out.
4223Class A chose Katsuragi, and Class D chose Ryuuen.
4224Class B moves under the idea that no one will leave school.
4225Of course, it is possible that the students mentioned will not leave school, and there is also the possibility that those mentioned will leave school.
4226Nobody knows who will come out before the additional test results are announced.
4227Even if you want to drive someone away, as long as the other party gathers votes from other classes, the plan will be interrupted.
4228From now on is the key.
4229I'm not in a 100% safe position.
4230There is absolutely no guarantee that you can gather a lot of praise in this additional test.
4231Even though the time spent in class is as usual, additional exams begin at 9:00.
4232This is just 8:30.
4233This is a consideration from the school, more precisely that the school deliberately gives us more time.
4234This is a set situation so students are alert to each other until the last second.
4235"Will you not do anything until the end?"
4236"What?"
4237"I ask, even if you are in danger, will you just continue to see?"
4238"Do you see me doing something?"
4239"... ... I can't see it on the surface."
4240"That's the answer. I didn't do anything this time. More precisely I was saved by you."
4241"I really did this. If you are still chosen as a candidate for expulsion, then it's funny."
4242"I think it's not funny to be chosen as someone who leaves school."
4243This conversation is probably the last conversation I made with my neighbor.
4244"That is also true."
4245Horikita answered shortly.
4246I welcome the test as it is.
4247Even though I think so ... but at the last minute, the situation has changed.
4248"Please listen to me, everyone."
4249That's Hirata. Even though he had a quarrel with Horikita yesterday, he actually didn't think of any strategies.
4250He only thought about criticizing Horikita.
4251Of course, some students who like Hirata might follow it.
4252However, he did not play a decisive role.
4253In class C, everyone's evaluation of Horikita was relatively high.
4254Despite his bold and fearless manner of speaking to make people feel pierced, for that person also gives a reliable impression.
4255"Actually, I asked Horikita-san things yesterday. I also listened to everyone's stories and I came to the conclusion: this additional test ... Who will be criticized, is the biggest focus on this test, right?"
4256Hirata calmly said.
4257"Will he still say something?" Horikita said.
4258"It seems like that." I replied.
4259Otherwise he won't let everyone listen to his words at the last minute.
4260"It's no use. He has no retaliation. He can only say something that will delay the conclusion." Horikita said.
4261No, this is hard to say.
4262I can see that Hirata's eyes contain some sort of resolution.
4263"First of all, I want to express my apologies for the fact that I said yesterday to vote for the criticism of Horikita-san."
4264I thought he would say something. Hirata confessed his mistake to Horikita.
4265"You shouldn't need to apologize, what have you done?"
4266"I judge you are the student needed for class."
4267"Then, have you seen who you think is not needed in class?"
4268"Yes, I will decide that."
4269Facing Hirata's statement that was so strong, Horikita could only swallow hard.
4270"... Can you tell me who that is?"
4271"I will say it now."
4272Hirata slowly moved from his position and walked to the front of the class.
4273Like Horikita did yesterday.
4274"I really like this class. I think everyone is needed for this class. No matter who says it, this conclusion won't change. But I already know that this can't solve the problem right now."
4275Hirata struggled to say the answers he had gotten.
4276This answer might be the same as I thought yesterday.
4277"I hope everyone writes my name on the voting criticism."
4278Hirata said what I expected
4279"I ... how can I do this kind of thing!"
4280Shouted, Mii-chan. Other girls also repeatedly voiced opposition.
4281"I will leave school, I have made a lot of preparations for that."
4282"I thought what you wanted to say ... Have you gone crazy?"
4283Horikita was suddenly annoyed by Hirata's voice which made her speak this way.
4284"Even if you can't choose someone to get expelled of school, there's no need to sacrifice yourself?"
4285"You have told me. If there are students who voluntarily withdraw from school, the problem will be solved."
4286"That ─ ─ ─"
4287"So I will run as a candidate."
4288"There are no students in this class who really want you to come out. You are the one who plays a role in class mediation to finish class fights. It's too stupid to get expelled of school."
4289"I do not care. "
4290It can be said that Class C has been chaotic.
4291Of course, it doesn't matter who will leave school. The key to this additional test lies in who will receive criticism and who will get praise.
4292If Hirata withdraws from school, the difficulty of the exam in the future will increase significantly.
4293The risk of losing a central figure in the class is inevitable.
4294"I can't criticize Hirata-kun."
4295Shinohara, and the girls welcome him to defend Hirata.
4296Every time they say this, they will hurt Hirata.
4297"You don't benefit from protecting me. I hate you."
4298Hirata's tone was still the same as usual, but her words were very cold.
4299"I ... I will choose Hirata!"
4300Yamauchi shouted.
4301"I think I should do this for Hirata's sake!"
4302He kept shouting.
4303"Well, this is the last resistance Yamauchi-kun made himself ..."
4304Yamauchi may have previously contacted Hirata yesterday.
4305Then he told Hirata that he didn't want to drop out of school, begging and relying on Hirata's help.
4306That was also one of the reasons why Hirata set his intention to leave.
4307Then, after a long silence, Chabashira-sensei arrived in the classroom.
4308"From now on, we will start voting in class, I will call the name of the student to go to the election room."
4309After all, if he did, he might get a voice of criticism given by others. This is a retaliation against anonymous voting.
4310Well, what will happen to the results ...?

4325PART 1
4326 
4327Turn to class A. On Saturday morning, everyone calmly waited for the results of the announcement.
4328People who will leave school have already been decided when the announcement of the additional examinations begins.
4329No one has complaints about this decision.
4330When the bell that will inform you of the additional test results is heard, Mashima-sensei also enters the classroom.
4331He is a man who is always calm while working and not thinking too much about things.
4332No, it must be said that he decided not to think too much about it.
4333This is his fourth year as a teacher in this high school.
4334He often witnessed many students dropping out of school.
4335"Now the results of the additional examinations will be announced. The first rank of the students who get the most praise votes ... Sakayanagi, with the total number of votes is 36 votes."
4336"I didn't expect that I would be elected. Thank you very much."
4337Sakayanagi gives a general answer. Almost all students in the class choose it.
4338"Then ...... I will announce to those of you who collected the most criticism in the class. I believe that you understand that those who have been named will be released and after that they will have to take care of luggage and come with me to the staff room."
4339There is no such thing as cheers or noise.
4340Class A students only wait when the names of students who dropout of school are announced.
4341"- Students in the last rank received 36 critic votes. The name is ..."
4342Momentary silence.
4343Then ─ ─ ─.
4344"Totsuka Yahiko"
4345A name mentioned.
4346The name of the student is heard through a quiet classroom.
4347"How ridiculous!"
4348Shortly after the results were announced, Katsuragi raised his voice and stood up.
4349"Eh, Katsuragi ... Why, why ...?"
4350It seems that Totsuka himself did not believe, and saw Katsuragi's face.
4351As a result, Totsuka received a large majority of the votes of criticism. The total number of votes was 36 votes and he had to leave school.
4352While the results of the sound of praise and criticism were announced at the same time.
4353Katsuragi was ranked second from the bottom, above Totsuka, with a total of 30 votes of criticism.
4354"Sensei, what happened here? I'm the one who should leave school—"
4355"There are no errors in the results."
4356Mashima-sensei calmly answered Katsuragi's question.
4357A girl opened her mouth, like changing this incomprehensible situation.
4358"Katsuragi-kun, it seems you have given him a sound of praise, that's good."
4359Katsuragi understood the situation.
4360This is not a result of mistakes, but a conspiracy.
4361"Wait Sakayanagi! Am I not supposed to be out of school!"
4362"Katsuragi-kun left school? From the beginning you were not the target."
4363Of course, he will answer it like that.
4364"Don't joke. You said that you would get rid of me!"
4365"Yes. I did say that I want to get rid of you ... but it's a lie."
4366Sakayanagi smiled softly and didn't care.
4367"Ke ... why ?!"
4368"The answer is very simple. Because Totsuka-kun doesn't make any benefits for Class A. On the other hand, Katsuragi-kun changes your mind quickly and your motor nerves aren't bad.
4369another, you can still do something. You're a calm person. You can still play a role in these qualities. In additional tests it is necessary to deal with unwanted people, no fool will get rid of good people. "
4370"Kgh!"
4371Of course, Sakayanagi's intention is not limited to this. .
4372The students who initially followed Katsuragi, not only Totsuka. The point of view of Totsuka's withdrawal will also have a major impact on class A. Through this incident, everyone realized that Sakayanagi 'will punish traitors mercilessly.'
4373He implanted it in their hearts, the fact that if anyone helped Katsuragi, then anyone would be the first person to be punished.
4374"Why are things like this ..."
4375"Of course, risk must be avoided as much as possible? In this additional test, the majority of votes can be obtained from other classes. If Totsuka-kun collects the sound of praise from other classes, then how does class A want him to leave school? . "
4376If another class takes action to save Totsuka because of his will. Sakayanagi does not want to let this happen.
4377However, if Katsuragi was appointed as the person who had to leave school first, then no one would think of giving a vote of praise to Totsuka.
4378"Totsuka-kun's good work, you must be healthy after leaving this school."
4379"Damn ... shit, shit ...!"
4380Katsuragi couldn't call Totsuka, who was backing him as if he was falling apart.
4381Initially, Totsuka would feel happy if Katsuragi did not leave school.
4382But now that he's leaving school, he doesn't think about it anymore.
4383It's better to say that he even hates Katsuragi. Because the one who left school was somehow not Katsuragi but himself.
4384If Katsuragi left school, Totsuka could stay in Class A. In the following days, even though he felt that he was not in line with Sakayanagi, he would still follow him and graduate. In the end he became a winner in life.
4385He also knew that this was not good, but in his heart he was still vaguely starting to sketch his vision of the future.
4386All of this was lost because of this sudden attack.
4387"You can't make a solution with 20 million personal points -"
4388"Well. Too bad it's not enough even though we collect all our points."
4389"Totsuka ... There is no way to cancel this decision."
4390As homeroom teacher, Mashima-sensei also hid the pain in her heart and told Totsuka.
4391"............"
4392Totsuka lost his words, he could only nod softly.
4393"I will take Totsuka to the staff room first. I will immediately take his luggage."
4394However, Mashima-sensei had asked her to come out. If Totsuka stayed in class in such conditions, it would only add to his sadness.
4395"By the way, Mashima-sensei. ─ ─ ─ Can I ask you a question?"
4396"What is Sakayanagi?"
4397Sakayanagi stopped Mashima-sensei trying to leave the classroom with Totsuka.
4398Mashima-sensei gave Totsuka instructions to wait in the corridor and let him continue.
4399"In this test, Totsuka-kun is a sad sacrifice, but ... Who left school in another class?"
4400"Because this is a temporary list that has been made. The final results will be published on the notice board on the first floor as soon as it is confirmed."
4401"Because of the different final results, is there no concern affected by Katsuragi-kun?"
4402"Sakayanagi, what are you saying?"
4403"I'm just asking for references."
4404Mashima-sensei and Katsuragi seemed unable to understand Sakayanagi's words for a while.
4405He doesn't consider 'that possibility.'
4406However, after seeing Sakayanagi's smile, Mashima-sensei reformed his thoughts.
4407"... No matter who leaves school, it will have no effect. Besides, if there is influence, then you cannot easily force someone to leave school."
4408"That's right. Thank you sensei for answering."
4409When Mashima-sensei left the classroom, Katsuragi quietly approached Sakayanagi.
4410Hashimoto and Kitou hurriedly stood up to prevent him.
4411This is to stop acts of violence by accident.
4412However, Sakayanagi moved before Katsuragi said a word.
4413"Katsuragi-kun, if you hate me, that doesn't make sense. In this additional test, there will definitely be students who leave school. No matter whether you or Totsuka-kun, you must accept the results sincerely. Because the voice determines it."
4414"... I understand. "
4415Katsuragi did not think about taking violent behavior from the start, but only intended to vent his dissatisfaction.
4416However, his dissatisfied feelings were broken by Sakayanagi.
4417"That's good. I want you to surrender to yourself in the future, so that you won't drag the back of class A. But if it happens an ... You will retaliate against class A. ... "
4418"I said I understand. You don't need to get other students out."
4419"It's really awkward, if that makes sense."
4420If Katsuragi pulled his fangs from his hatred of Totsuka, he would eliminate someone other than Totsuka from class A. It was like a threat. Sakayanagi is very clear about this. If Katsuragi obeys himself honestly, he can contribute to the top of class A well.
4421In this way, Katsuragi completely gave up. He had no choice but to raise the white flag to surrender.
4422"Well, then, what about the other classes, now?"
4423Of course, he didn't look forward to the results of Class B or Class D.
4424He was only waiting for the class C results where Ayanokouji was.

4436Class C.
4437Yamauchi's voice, which made a loud noise and jerk, stung my ears.
4438"Hey ... Take it easy, Haruki."
4439Ike whispered to him.
4440"N, no, I don't understand."
4441"Hahaha, your defeat was decided, right?"
4442"What do you mean, Koenji? I'm not a person who will leave school.
4443Yamauchi looked back and felt scared.
4444"I'm afraid there are many students in this class who write my name."
4445Ike and Sudou could not hold Yamauchi who was shaken by Koenji.
4446"There is no such thing. The person who will leave this school is me." Hirata said.
4447"Are you still saying something like that, don't you see something?"
4448"... What do you mean ?"
4449Koenji took out the cellphone while laughing funny.
4450"My cell phone received a message from several girls in class. Fill in the message, like this: 'Hirata plans to sacrifice herself tomorrow to voluntarily leave school. For this reason, she might take a bad attitude, or say bad things to everyone. He is not serious. Please believe me, just give him a voice of praise. ' I thought this information was sent to everyone except you and Yamauchi-kun? "
4451Hirata approaches Koenji and sees the message on his cellphone.
4452"Most students who see the message will surely sympathize with you. Because the year you do for class is not an illusion. Wouldn't that make you get more praise sounds?"
4453"Something like that ..."
4454Hirata, who is a candidate for the voice of criticism, has now disappeared from the ranks.
4455Naturally, students who feel anxious are students who are at risk of dropping out of school.
4456"You're so calm, as if you've seen the results."
4457"You're the same, aren't you?"
4458"Even so, I can't wait for the results to calm down like you without a doubt. As long as there is no certainty, worries remain."
4459"Only he is waiting for the results anxiously."
4460Almost all the students' eyes pierced Yamauchi's back.
4461What was the reaction of Yamauchi after hearing that?
4462Yamauchi looked at Koenji and rose slowly.
4463His expression blinked as if to reveal that he had won.
4464"... Hey."
4465Yamauchi pouted Koenji, for not wanting to lose to him.
4466"Forget it, it doesn't matter if I say it now ... The person who will come out is not me."
4467"Do you have a reason?"
4468"Okay, I'll tell you."
4469It seems like Yamauchi can't stand it. About the fact that everyone talks about at will.
4470"How many people criticize me now, 20 people? Or 30 people? I don't betray you, but you treat me so badly!"
4471Yamauchi grinned, patting Ike's shoulder next to him.
4472"Kanji, sorry, have let you worry."
4473"Ah, um."
4474He doesn't know what happened to him. He can only nod.
4475"There are only a few candidates to get expelled of this class? Me, Kanji, Sudou, Koenji, and Ayanokouji. Maybe there are only a few of these people. But, how many praising voices will they get? Hey, I'm really worried!"
4476"You say it, as if you can get a lot of praise."
4477"Yes. In fact, I can get it."
4478"Even if a close friend sympathizes and gives you a voice of praise, at most there are only 4 or 5 votes. Can it be considered a safe zone?"
4479"Yes. That is enough. Ha, haha ... Yes, that is useless. It's useless!"
4480Yamauchi spread his arms in the air.
4481"Sakayanagi promised me. He will give 20 votes of praise from class A to me. In other words, even if most students in the class criticize me, I won't leave school!"
4482It seemed that Yamauchi understood, there was no point in hiding it and decided to show off his own card.
4483"So it's useless, no matter how many people write my name ... ... I'm protected by class A!"
4484Voting is over
4485It is true that there is an agreement between Yamauchi and Sakayanagi.
4486If he gets 5 votes of praise from Class C and 20 votes of praise from Class A, then in the worst case, the final results from Yamauchi will not be more than 9 votes of criticism.
4487Of course, if it came true, he certainly would not be a drop out student.
4488Then, me or Koenji, as well as other expulsion candidates like Sudou and Ike, in danger.
4489"If it's like that, why are you so worried?"
4490Yamauchi shivered and looked nervous.
4491This proves that he is very psychologically uneasy.
4492"That ... ..."
4493"If you make an appointment with an enemy, do you sign a strong contract? Isn't that the basis of negotiations?"
4494"No, no, that ... ..."
4495"If it is only an oral agreement, there is a possibility that the other party will not comply with the agreement. Little-girl is not so good."
4496"Of course I know this kind of thing! But, it's okay!"
4497Yamauchi did not want to hear Koenji's words.
4498Now, he can only believe that he will get a voice of praise, and cannot do anything else.
4499Last night, he must have tried to confirm Sakayanagi several times.
4500"Then, it should be safe. Isn't the sound of criticism that I gave you nothing?"
4501"Yes, that is meaningless, meaningless!"
4502"Shut up Yamauchi, your shout is heard up to the corridor."
4503At that time, Chabashira-sensei arrived in class C.
4504"Soon. I'll announce the results of the class C exam now."
4505Finally the time came for a decision.
4506A student will immediately leave this class.
4507Is that Yamauchi where he said 'won't leave school' to himself?
4508Are those Sudou and Ike who are said to be candidates who leave school at the next point?
4509Is Hirata waiting for the results calmly?
4510Is Koenji acting as usual?
4511Did I or Horikita see it change?
4512Or maybe there is someone else besides that?
4513"First of all, I will announce it from the top three with the highest number of votes. Third place is - Kushida Kikyo."
4514Kushida who heard his name was mentioned, sighed with relief.
4515Did targeting Yamauchi yesterday result in a vote of praise?
4516Considering that he is always admired by his classmates, it can be said that this is the right result.
4517"Next ... ... the second place, is ..."
4518Chabashira-sensei slowed down a little.
4519I also can't fully predict the results.
4520"You, Hirata Yousuke."
4521"...! ..."
4522When his name was called, Hirata closed her eyes and looked at the ceiling.
4523The ugliness exposed in front of his classmates does not give him too much negative impact.
4524Within this year, Hirata was very hard and dedicated.
4525Especially the girls, they really believe in Hirata.
4526Even if I didn't deliver the message to Kei first, his ranking wouldn't be shaken.
4527"But, Hirata is ranked second ... Who is ranked first?"
4528Everyone thinks Hirata or Kushida will be the first.
4529Even though it is ranked third and second, it still responds to everyone's expectations, but this shows that there are students who beat them.
4530"─── The first rating is ... ..."
4531Chabashira-sensei smiled slightly before reading the name.
4532
4533She closed his eyes for the first time.
4534
4535"Ayanokouji Kiyotaka."
4536
4537Is that the result?
4538
4539"Why?"
4540
4541The first person to react was Yamauchi, who was supposed to deal with me behind the scenes.
4542
4543"It's not a mistake to rank first in criticism, sensei!"
4544
4545"No. That is indeed ranked first in the praise voice. The total number of votes is 42. This is very good."
4546
4547All people in the class feel that the result is surprising. Because the number of votes for praise exceeds the total number of students in the class.
4548
4549"What have you done ...?"
4550
4551My neighbor Horikita cannot hide her surprise.
4552
4553"You said, did nothing."
4554
4555All this is done by Sakayanagi.
4556
4557"Then, the last place in the voice of criticism is a student who gets 33 votes, unfortunately it's you, 
4558
4559Haruki Yamauchi."
4560
4561Yamauchi seemed to fall from a cliff.
4562
4563He was told to leave school without any explanation.
4564
4565"Three, thirty-three votes !?"
4566
4567Basically it proves that Class A doesn't give him a voice of praise.
4568
4569The second last ranking is Sudou, 21 votes. The third last place is Ike, with 20 votes.
4570
4571It can be seen that Yamauchi's friends were never in a safe area.
4572
4573"I don't want it, why, why should I go!"
4574
4575Yamauchi swung his arm at Chabashira-sensei who was nearby.
4576
4577"... ... Haruki ... ..."
4578
4579Ike and Sudou who were friends with Yamauchi could only bow their heads.
4580
4581They hoped that Yamauchi would stay, while waiting for the moment when the results were announced.
4582But they also really understood the reality, if Yamauchi wasn't the last, then he didn't know what would happen to them.
4583
4584"Why, why, why! Why? Why are there ridiculous exams like this, and I'm going to leave school because of this obscure exam!"
4585
4586"What you also think about is your freedom, but this decision can't be canceled, Yamauchi."
4587
4588"Let me tell you ~~~~!"
4589
4590Yamauchi shouted from the bottom of his heart.
4591Shout this unacceptable reality.
4592
4593"That's right. Please ask on Sakayanagi, Sakayanagi! She told me that he wanted to give me a voice of praise! If she violates the agreement, this cannot be forgiven! "
4594
4595"Are you holding evidence of the agreement that you did?"
4596Chabashira-sensei asked.
4597
4598"She promised! Karaoke! I heard it when we were at karaoke!"
4599
4600"I also want to believe, but these words can't prove it."
4601
4602"Hey, hey! ...!"
4603
4604"Yamauchi, it's time to leave the classroom."
4605Even so, his body will not move.
4606
4607"Come on. You're no longer part of the class." 
4608
4609Koenji said.
4610"I haven't admitted it!"
4611
4612"I mean, until the last time you were the worst, a bad defect product, without hope."
4613
4614Yamauchi was provoked nonstop provocation from Koenji. .
4615
4616"Arrggghhhh!"
4617
4618Yamauchi held his chair and rushed towards Koenji.
4619He lifted the chair and aimed at Koenji's head.
4620If he hits it directly, it will cause damage.
4621
4622However, Koenji was not weak enough to be hit by this monotonous attack.
4623
4624He easily grabbed the legs of the chair, prevented him from swinging, and then forced Yamauchi to withdraw.
4625
4626"You directed killing intent at me. I have no complaints about how I got it?"
4627
4628Yamauchi's face stiffened.
4629
4630"Everything is enough."
4631Chabashira-sensei felt the dangerous atmosphere released by Koenji and stopped them.
4632
4633After hearing this, Koenji quickly let go of his hand holding the chair.
4634
4635"Yamauchi is enough, don't make trouble anymore. This is also for you."
4636
4637His classmates made a sad face to Yamauchi.
4638And face of mercy.
4639
4640Something in Yamauchi's heart gradually collapsed.
4641
4642"Woahhhh, arghhh!"
4643
4644Yamauchi collapsed on the spot, making a sound of crying and screaming.
4645
4646"... Please, leave the class."
4647
4648Chabashira-sensei said this again. Yamauchi succumbed to the last resistance.
4649 
4650

4654 
4655

4658 
4659PART 3
4660 
4661Losing someone in the classroom.
4662
4663The atmosphere became very different from before.
4664
4665The room was gloomy and unpleasant.
4666
4667No matter who dropped out of school, the 
4668atmosphere will not change.
4669
4670However, if you have to eliminate someone, it is necessary to assess the benefits of each individual.
4671
4672Who is needed for class?
4673Who is not needed for class?
4674This must be decided.
4675One person stands up.
4676
4677Taking this as a starting point, everyone did not make much noise and set foot on their way back to the dormitory.
4678
4679After Sunday, they can see each face of their friends in class on Monday.
4680
4681However, they would not be able to see the figure of Yamauchi at that time.
4682
4683"He is more serious than I thought."
4684
4685He ...? Of course, it's about Hirata.
4686
4687He kept silent, without moving.
4688
4689After being abandoned by Yamauchi, Hirata was in 
4690a shackled state.
4691
4692"Hirata-kun ... ... that ..."
4693
4694Mii-chan, who is worried about Hirata, comes to greet her.
4695
4696Even though Hirata turned his gaze towards him, but said nothing.
4697
4698What did Hirata think about this class? Only he knows. However, he had no choice but to move forward.
4699
4700The students who did not have the heart to see Hirata's appearance, began slowly to return to the dormitory.
4701
4702Likewise Sudou and Ike slowly left the classroom.
4703[For now. Let's go home.]
4704
4705After getting a message from Haruka. The Ayanokouji group members agreed to go home.
4706
4707"Will you go home?"
4708
4709I took my bag to leave the classroom.
4710I stopped briefly in front of Koenji, who was still in class.
4711
4712"Ayanokouji-Boy."
4713
4714"I didn't expect you would act for class."
4715
4716"I just don't want to drop out of school, so I have to help Horikita-Girl."
4717
4718"I'm not talking about this. Aren't you constantly inciting Yamauchi to turn his anger on you yourself?"
4719
4720Because Yamauchi was forced to drop out of school, he would definitely hate all of his classmates.
4721
4722However, Koenji who always shook Yamauchi, more than anyone else. This is to let Yamauchi change his hatred towards Koenji.
4723
4724He personally discarded Yamauchi who was said to be irrational after dropping out of school.
4725
4726Maybe from the point of view of the people around him, this action will only make him look annoying.
4727
4728"Well, I don't have an impression. I just want to see his ugly figure disappear near me."
4729
4730"Yes, I think this is the problem."
4731
4732When I left the classroom, Horikita immediately followed me and grabbed my arm.
4733
4734"Ayanokouji-kun, you ... Since when and how much do you know?"
4735
4736At the time Sakayanagi asked me to stop the fight. I don't think there is a concern of more than 90% despite ignoring it. Surely she doesn't want to win by beating me with lies. She would not be happy if she forced me to leave school by using a truce lie.
4737On the other hand, she tried to get me out of school using Yamauchi.
4738
4739This action clearly violated my agreement with him. In other words, there is a contradiction since.
4740To eliminate this contradiction, she had to find a way to erase the voice of criticism centered on me.
4741
4742In other words, giving the majority of votes praise for other classes of class A for me.
4743
4744In this case, I will get 30 or 20 votes of praise from class A and will enter the positive area. Absolute security zone. 
4745
4746So why did she do this? This was to encourage Haruki Yamauchi to leave school. By making it a criminal, it will reduce evaluasinya in class C. Of course, I'm not 100% sure. It's also possible that Sakayanagi wants me to drop out of school in a dark way. Although this possibility is very low, it cannot be completely ruled out.
4747
4748Therefore, I used Horikita as a tool to bury Yamauchi. In addition, by telling them that harmless people will be immediately expelled from school, I can get a lot of praise from the class as a form of sympathy or protection. Of course, I didn't expect it would be the first, it was too much.
4749
4750"I've said before? I didn’t  participate in this test literally."
4751
4752"... but ..."
4753
4754"I'll go then."
4755
4756"Ayanokouji-kun !!"
4757
4758Horikita shouted and stopped in her place.
4759
4760"Are you? ... who told Nii-san about the relationship between Yamauchi-kun and Sakayanagi-san."
4761
4762I did not answer Horikita's question and walked down the stairs.
4763
4764I saw the notice board on the first floor.
4765These additional exam results are published on the bulletin board and explain other class situations.
4766Voting results in class.
4767
4768A student who dropped out of school
4769Class A: Yahiko Totsuka
4770Class B: None
4771Class C: Haruki Yamauchi
4772Class D: Manabe Shiho
4773There are 3 people.
4774
4775These exam results do not affect class points.
4776
4777"Yahiko? ... Of course, Katsuragi's name being there was nonsense."
4778
4779The first rank in the praise vote: Class A is Sakayanagi, Class B is Ichinose, and Class D is Kaneda. Among them, Kaneda received the lowest vote of praise, which was 27 votes. And, Ichinose who received 98 votes was the most. Because the majority of class A put a lot of praise on me, I can see how many students are evaluating Ichinose.
4780The figure of a student appears. 
4781
4782He also came here to confirm the results of the exam.
4783
4784The student is Katsuragi. Ryuuen also came to confirm the results of the exam almost at the same time.
4785
4786"You're not out of school, Katsuragi?"
4787
4788"...... I should have said it. I thought you would disappear too."
4789
4790"Kukuku. It seems that the Shinigami is on my side. So I'm safe."
4791
4792"You say Shinigami?"
4793
4794"Never mind, after all you can't see it."
4795
4796Ryuuen smiled and saw the results.
4797
4798"It seems like Sakayanagi is doing something interesting, she dare to show off your only friend?"
4799
4800Ryuuen said it with a happy face. Next to him, Katsuragi showed a regretful face.
4801
4802"Are you really losing your fighting spirit?"
4803
4804"I won't benefit if I act carelessly."
4805
4806"Will you continue to follow Sakayanagi until you graduate? This is an interesting joke. "
4807
4808"............"
4809
4810Katsuragi fell silent.
4811
4812However, his expression seemed to drift away.
4813Yahiko, who always admired Katsuragi, had left here.
4814
4815This also meant that Katsuragi lost the existence he had to protect.
4816
4817"Oh, Katsuragi. Don't end the show like this."
4818
4819After seeing Katsuragi's appearance, Ryuuen might have the same impression as me.
4820
4821"With this gift, you should be able to make a loss for him."
4822
4823"... don't joke. Compared to me, you still have a plan. Your life is supported by shinigami. Can you still challenge Sakayanagi, Ichinose and Horikita, and win the game?"
4824
4825" I am not interested. "
4826
4827Ryuuen immediately answered coldly.
4828
4829"The contract between me and class A is still valid. I will continue to get points from you without drawing attention, and then play for a while. I think I should thank you today."
4830
4831It seems that this has been determined.
4832
4833For Ryuuen, Katsuragi's withdrawal will also make the contract written off.
4834
4835Katsuragi took the front path for the return trip. He left me with Ryuuen.
4836
4837"Come with me for a moment."
4838
4839I did not refuse, following Ryuuen to the back of the school building.
4840
4841"When did you become a good person?Ayanokouji."
4842
4843"You won't believe me, even though I say I don't do anything."
4844
4845What did I do? Ryuuen should have seen through it.
4846
4847"I'm not the only one who did it. More precisely those who adore you take action."
4848
4849I looked at the sky and remembered the things that happened a few days ago.
4850 
4851 
4852PART 4
4853 
4854After the results of this examination were announced, it was seen that there were no students who dropped out of school in Class B, and survived Ryuuen.
4855These two major changes are related to my involvement screen.
4856This returned to the night after I was in the library with Hiyori and called Ichinose to my room.
4857At 10 pm, the room doorbell rang.
4858Only a few friends will come to visit me.
4859Maybe only people like Horikita, Kushida or Ayanokouji's group.
4860However, in most cases, they will send a chat or text message first.
4861However, I haven't received any contacts on my cell phone now. In other words, they are not this type of guest.
4862Who comes to visit?
4863"... this is my first time visiting."
4864On the inside intercom screen, there was an unexpected duo.
4865Both of them looked very cold and waited for my response outside the door.
4866"Isn't it curfew ... only upstairs?"
4867In principle, boys are prohibited from entering the area where girls live after 8pm.
4868However, even though this rule was violated, there were no major problems as long as it was not disclosed. Even if it is exposed, it will not be punished severely if it is done only once or twice. In short, from a regulatory point of view, there is no problem for girls to come to boys' dormitories at this time.
4869"Yes."
4870Even though I didn't really welcome them, I decided to respond as usual.
4871"... There is something I want to say."
4872A man says this. He peered through the camera and showed his face near the camera.
4873It seems like he doesn't want to talk through the intercom.
4874"Wait a minute."
4875I went to the room door to open the door lock. Then after opening ... Ishizaki from class D enters.
4876For Ishizaki this is the momentum to encourage him, if he does not want to do it.
4877"Excuse me. Come on, hurry up, it's very cold."
4878"Why do I have to ..."
4879Ibuki, who is also a Class D student, expressed his dissatisfaction.
4880"Come on, hurry in."
4881"OK."
4882Ibuki entered the door under Ishizaki's insistence.
4883Indeed, as Ishizaki said, the outside was very cold, so I hurriedly closed the door.
4884Behind the door, the wind will blow through the gap, so I let them into the room.
4885"So, what do you want to come to me this late?"
4886Listening to me asking, Ishizaki put her palms together and spoke loudly.
4887"Ayanokouji! Please tell me, how can I avoid Ryuuen's withdrawal from school !!"
4888 "... What?"
4889The two men arrived in the middle of the night, and immediately requested an unexpected request.
4890"Am I hearing wrong? Can you say it again?"
4891"I mean! Tell me how, so that Ryuuen doesn't get expelled of school!"
4892Looks like I didn't hear wrong.
4893"Forget it, Ishizaki. You won't get help from Ayanokouji."
4894It seems like Ibuki didn't agree with Ishizaki, he didn't come asking for my help.
4895"Yes, maybe. But it's not a mistake. Besides Ayanokouji, I can't think of anyone else can do it."
4896"It doesn't matter to me ... Oh, I'm just forced to follow Ishizaki. The call is really annoying ..."
4897Saying that, Ibuki sighed and showed his cellphone screen.
4898There are more than 50 history of missed calls from Ishizaki.
4899"How can I come to him alone? He is an enemy!"
4900"It's no different coming with me, that's really stupid, isn't it?"
4901"Oh, that ... ..."
4902Both Ishizaki and Ibuki argue with each other.
4903"Looks like you're not the killer sent by Ryuuen."
4904If it's fake, it will be good. But this is not the problem.
4905"How is that possible. Ryuuen-san ... He won't ask us to do something like that. You really understand about this, right?"
4906"I guess."
4907Ryuuen has ruined his school life in the form of Ishizaki's defeat.
4908In fact, his willingness to leave school seemed solid.
4909Even though he didn't mean to drop out of school, he couldn't come to me.
4910Because it was impossible for Ryuuen to feel satisfied by doing such a shameful thing.
4911"You really don't want Ryuuen to come out? There are many things you have to think about again." Ibuki said.
4912"...... That ...... There were many things that happened. But now it's different."
4913"What?"
4914"Ah? What do you mean by 'what'?"
4915"I ask, what's different now?"
4916"Now, I understand that Ryuuen-san is the person needed for class D?"
4917"I don't understand, but I think there are a lot of problems caused."
4918The two people really came to visit me without union.
4919It must be said that there was a lack of ideological communication between them ...
4920"If you want to fight, do it later."
4921I tried to stop both of them.
4922"Ah ~ I want to go back."
4923Both of them disagree. In particular, Ibuki still had an annoyed expression on his face.
4924"Don't say like that, don't forget to persuade Ayanokouji."
4925"I said I hate to do things like that."
4926"If you want to argue, you can do it elsewhere."
4927I think this topic is not advanced, then I decided to ask him.
4928"If you see it from the outside, it looks like Ryuuen is not liked in class, is that true?"
4929"Yes ... maybe most people hate it." Ishizaki answered.
4930"It's not like most people, you should say almost everyone. There's no point in lying at the moment." Ibuki said.
4931"Don't be fussy! There's no problem using the 'most people' argument!"
4932"Ah ~ very noisy. Don't shout, your spit spurts everywhere."
4933"If you keep fighting, please leave this place."
4934In this narrow space, a sound would be heard in the next room.
4935After I finished speaking with a little anger, the two people finally calmed down a little.
4936They finally understood that they were in a position as guests.
4937If so, I can continue the conversation.
4938"It's very difficult to stop Ryuuen from dropping out of school."
4939I don't have to say it slowly, but immediately said it straightforwardly.
4940I thought it would be easier to convey my thoughts to them.
4941"That should be."
4942Ibuki understood and nodded.
4943However, Ishizaki didn't seem to be easily convinced.
4944"You can't think of a way!"
4945Only real momentum. It seems that her feelings for saving Ryuuen are not lies.
4946"You really don't want Ryuuen to come out? "
4947"... Yes."
4948Apart from Ibuki and me, most students think that Ishizaki hates Ryuuen.
4949Of course, he was also influenced by the results of the confrontation between me and Ryuuen. However, Ishizaki has been intimidated several times by Ryuuen, I did not expect that Ishizaki would even ask for help to save him. Although, he felt reluctant to submit to me to ask for help.
4950This is also a feeling that has been embedded in him for a year.
4951However, if the test can be done with emotion, then everyone does not need to worry.
4952It seems necessary to explain the difficulty of this additional exam to Ishizaki in a way that is easy to understand.
4953"There are two main reasons why it is difficult to achieve. The results of this additional test are determined by the number of criticisms given in the class. Suppose you and Ibuki, or there are two to three people who do not criticize Ryuuen and give him a vote of praise. it still exceeds 30 votes. Besides that, shouldn't everyone not want to come out? "
4954"Yes. But, does anyone think that they can win without Ryuuen-san's strength?
4955Of course, some students in class D also recognized Ryuuen's strength.
4956However, that is not enough just because of this.
4957That is not enough to counter the risk of 'he dropped out of school'.
4958"They are targeting the hated Ryuuen - besides that he also doesn't blame this."
4959The fact is the same as what Ibuki said.
4960"In the worst case, even though you can't get to the upper class, everyone wants to stay safe. Nobody wants to bring the label 'high school dropouts'. Only this should be avoided."
4961He was afraid his class had negotiated this matter.
4962That can be seen from Ishizaki's expression.
4963"As a representative who has been recognized as a Ryuuen rebel, have you ever heard of it?"
4964Ishizaki nods. On the surface, he also agreed that Ryuuen would leave school. .
4965"Ibuki, Albert, and Shiina. Everyone, except for three people agreed that Ryuuen must leave school."
4966"Did you do nothing?"
4967"Well, that's true."
4968Really helpless.
4969"So I came to ask you. You're the one who defeated Ryuuen-san, so ......"
4970"I didn't say there was no way to prevent it from dropping out of school. Before discussing the method, I wanted to ask something?"
4971"What is that ...?"
4972"Helping Ryuuen means other people in Class C will replace him dropping out of school. Do you understand this?"
4973This is an important part of the exam. This must be confirmed first.
4974"Ah, I understand, but ......"
4975"If you understand it, then there are candidates you want to spend in class?"
4976"I haven't thought about it. I didn't think about leaving my classmate."
4977"Then this is contradictory. This test is designed to make someone sacrifice."
4978In this test, you cannot easily say 'want to save'.
4979"As Ayanokouji said? If you really want to help Ryuuen, then you just need to take the initiative to appoint someone out of school? If you call everyone to vote for him, then maybe you can save Ryuuen."
4980It's a cold opinion, but maybe that's the most likely method.
4981Ryuuen gathered a lot of hatred from her classmates. Even if he is a man who has courage that no one else has and can think of some strange plans. Considering the class he was carrying fell the lowest level, it was inevitable that he would be the target.
4982"No ... Is there a way for everyone not to leave school?"
4983"Of course, everyone thought of this at first . But, in the end everyone gives up. "
4984"... That should be."
4985Ibuki took a breath for a moment like a surprise.
4986Rather than feeling that he couldn't hold it back, it would be more appropriate to say that he knew from the start that it was impossible to save Ryuuen who would be expelled from school.
4987"I said it was a waste of time. Ryuuen's exit cannot be changed."
4988"Damn ... !!"
4989Ishizaki looks very sorry and punches the wall.
4990"I thought Ryuuen-san originally planned to spend three years without doing anything. But she immediately changed her mind when she heard the contents of this additional test. She felt forced to drop out of school and she was helpless. So she didn't say anything, she just tried to keep silent until the end of the additional test. "
4991He doesn't think 'sacrificing himself' is a noble act.
4992He just can't dodge.
4993"You must understand him. This is also the duty of those who admire Ryuuen."
4994"I i ... ..."
4995Ishizaki holds her hand tightly with regret.
4996Does he really want to save Ryuuen?
4997No matter how many enemies there are, Ryuuen has a partner who admires him. This is not a bad thing.
4998Ryuuen might not admit it. But he really has good friends.
4999An idea appeared in my head.
5000But there are still some things missing to implement this idea.
5001"There's something I want to suggest ..."
5002"What is that, no matter what, let's talk!
5003Ishizaki leaned forward when asking. He thought I would save him.
5004Unfortunately, his hopes will be destroyed.
5005"It's not a good idea to make Ryuuen's personal points go charred, if he continues to receive it from class A, Ryuuen should have millions of personal points collected, right?"
5006"Ah, if he hasn't used it, there must be so much."
5007"If he is subject to school withdrawal while holding his personal points, there is no guarantee that it can be transferred to another person or redistributed. In this case, before withdrawing all his personal points, it must be transferred first. This is good for class D."
5008If the points are redistributed and the amount will decrease, it is better to transfer all the points into the pocket of his own friend.
5009Ryuuen should accept this request.
5010"Oh, what I'm looking for isn't something like that! It's a way to help Ryuuen-san!"
5011"Stop, Ishizaki, it's no use anymore."
5012Ibuki kicked Ishizaki lightly and shrugged his shoulders.
5013"But, Ayanokouji, I don't want to take the points collected by Ryuuen."
5014Ibuki only said his own thoughts - rather than begging Ryuuen to give his points, it was better for him to give up.
5015"Then, how about Ishizaki?"
5016"I don't want to either!"
5017It seems that even though the two people have different thoughts, the guidelines remain the same.
5018If Ryuuen really comes out, then personal points cannot be used.
5019They have such awareness.
5020No, this is not an extraordinary thing as enlightenment.
5021"Too bad you can't save Ryuuen."
5022"!"
5023Ishizaki looks at me with an angry and irritated expression.
5024"Listen well. All you can do now is take his personal points. This test is not easy, you can't help and save everyone."
5025"Don't joke! You want me to take personal points from Ryuuen, then say goodbye? How can I do this!"
5026Ishizaki raises his fist. Ibuki immediately grabbed his fist and stopped him.
5027"Don't do anything unnecessary. Even though his face is like a human, but his heart is a less humane monster."
5028"Even though I can't beat him, let me hit him!"
5029"You can't hit it."
5030He boasted and tapped Ishizaki's head.
5031"We don't only bring irrational requests. What Ayanokouji said is also not a mistake, so it's a perfect defeat. Too embarrassing, can you stop?"
5032"Hey ..."
5033Ishizaki has just gotten blood.
5034It seems that it is difficult for him to stay calm when he hears things related to Ryuuen.
5035Both may not intend to take action. Millions of personal points placed in this way will be lost. However, these points are useful for class D in the future. From this point of view, they also had to take personal points beforehand.
5036However, if Ibuki or Ishizaki who are partners of Ryuuen don't want to take it, then it's impossible ...
5037"Actually, I want to see your readiness a little more." "Ha? ... ... What do you mean readiness?"
5038"This has nothing to do with you. Besides, you can't take points from Ryuuen."
5039I finally talked about this topic. But I have half the confidence that Ibuki will definitely take personal points from Ryuuen.

5059 
5060 
5061The night before the exam. At ten o'clock, my cell phone rang.
5062"This is Ibuki, I have taken points personal from Ryuuen. "
5063Ibuki said the situation.
5064"You know my contact number."
5065I tried asking, but Ibuki did not reply.
5066Surely I only showed my number to Shiina. Does he know from him?
5067"Will you help him?"
5068Even though I thought I should act immediately, the time was urgent.
5069"Can you bring Ishizaki to my room, now?"
5070"What now?"
5071"Is there a problem? There is something related to the personal points you collect."
5072"No problem ... I understand."
5073Ibuki promises to contact Ishizaki immediately and then closes the call.
5074Do they expect anything? In just ten minutes or so, the two people appeared.
5075Then I told Ibuki and Ishizaki to enter my room.
5076"How many points does Ryuuen have?"
5077"More than 5 million."
5078"That is enough. If not, we must immediately prepare some."
5079There is no evidence that he has used it.
5080"What do you mean, what will you do?"
5081Ishizaki has no clue.
5082While Ibuki didn't care because he had made a decision.
5083"With this, will you do something?"
5084"It is true. "
5085"What is that ...?"
5086"There is only one thing related to personal points, I will save Ryuuen with that point."
5087"Wait a minute. Doesn't that method requires 20 million personal points?"
5088He thought that point would not be enough.
5089"There are some things that must be asked before that ... Ishizaki: Are you ready to take the burden?"
5090"Why, suddenly asking ... Am I ready to take the burden ...?"
5091"I already said that? To save Ryuuen, you have to sacrifice someone else."
5092"... Oh."
5093Ishizaki nodded despite a bit of panic.
5094"I decided to be ready."
5095"Ok, I hope you are ready for that. So, who will you sacrifice?"
5096"Who will be sacrificed ... ..."
5097Ishizaki hasn't decided who to sacrifice.
5098"If you can't decide, let me give you a thought. This will reduce your guilt, and the choice is simple. Of course, if you feel that I am careless to get rid of someone important, you can refuse."
5099"Wait, wait a minute, let me think about it ..."
5100"No time."
5101"I'll come to a conclusion soon."
5102Even though he said this, if he could make a decision immediately, he would not experience difficulties.
5103"Wait, I have no opinion about who should come out, but what is the key strategy? Don't you need to add 15 million more points?"
5104Ibuki's anxiety can be understood.
5105Although like that, I also have thoughts.
5106"If you don't want to let Ryuuen come out, I want you to set a candidate to replace him."
5107The problem with the details of the strategy will be discussed after this issue is over
5108"What about people who have problems in class?"
5109Although Ibuki was reluctant to say it, he wanted to let this topic continue.
5110"I really have no problem with boys ... well ... it's good for me if it's Komiya, if for girls, it's Manabe or Nishino, what about them?"
5111"If you want to save Ryuuen, I suggest not to throw away those who understand Ryuuen like you. If there is a similar test next time, then there might be no guarantee that Ryuuen will be defended."
5112Then Ishizaki has some thoughts.
5113"Nishino or Manabe ......?"
5114That's what he said.
5115I've heard both names. Manabe is actually the student I want to get rid of.
5116Even though I thought so, the decision was in Ishizaki's hands.
5117I intended to follow after listening to their decision.
5118"You have to choose one of them, or choose someone else. You have to decide that."
5119Ishizaki also knows that there is a dispute between Manabe and Kei when they are on the boat. If that affects the thinking about this issue, even if it's 1%, Ishizaki will choose 'Manabe' in all possibilities.
5120Find another party to drop. For this reason, he sought a way out of his mind that there was no other way to do it. He won't stop even if he takes out Manabe to reach out to Ryuuen.
5121Such an idea will appear in Ishizaki.
5122Even though the problem was sealed, for Kei, Manabe's whereabouts were still worrying him, and this problem could not be changed. If this can be resolved completely, the kei will be more calm in his feelings, and at the same time, if I can let Kei know that Manabe is released, then his confidence will increase again.
5123However, a word came unexpectedly.
5124"Can I decide?"
5125"What?"
5126"That's because I want someone to come out."
5127"Who is that?"
5128He is not waiting for Ishizaki's decision.
5129"I want to issue Manabe, like it or not, it's just a personal matter, that's all."
5130"Can you decide with that?"
5131"I just hate it, so I decided. Is there a problem?"
5132There was no doubt in Ibuki's eyes. I'm right I understand it.
5133 "If there is no objection to Ishizaki, we will choose Manabe. However, it is not a guarantee. If there is no withdrawal from Ryuuen, the next person who gets the most criticism will come out. This is a policy to reduce the possibility of being targeted. left over. "
5134"I understand ... I will ask the boys to adjust their voices and let them choose Manabe. Let them criticize Ryuuen and scare Manabe - as long as I tell them, boys should choose him."
5135"That's not a bad idea."
5136I will adopt Ishizaki's thoughts.
5137If the sound of criticism given to Ryuuen is absolute, then if some other students choose each other, there is no big problem, they will think so.
5138 "... Well, I might be released."
5139 "Ah? What do you mean Ibuki?"
5140"Manabe might write my name, and Ryuuen. So I will be in danger."
5141"Wait a minute, really?"
5142"You know, my relationship with Manabe is very bad, right?"
5143"Well, it looks like, but ..."
5144Ishizaki, who didn't think of such a thing on his head, was shaken.
5145"That means, Ibuki is very sure."
5146Of course, if someone who dropped out of school was someone else, besides Manabe, then he could only give up.
5147"For women you should consult Hiyori."
5148"Ke Shiina?"
5149"He might be able to help this time. Just tell him this is to save Ryuuen, and ask him to focus on the criticism on Manabe."
5150"... I understand. "
5151Ibuki nodded and sent a text message to Hiyori.
5152"Are you close to Shiina? I don't think she will participate in the battle to get the manabe out."
5153"I've asked him a little about this test."
5154He was a pacifist student, but his intention to protect the class was very strong.
5155"He said as long as it can contribute to the class, he will help. He also thinks that Ryuuen is very necessary for Class D, so he will definitely help."
5156Control as many voices as possible for boys and girls.
5157Reduce the sound of praise to Manabe and add criticism to him.
5158Increase the voice of praise to Ibuki and reduce criticism of him.
5159As long as they do this, the large gap that occurs at the beginning can be significantly reduced.
5160"Alright, explain your strategy, how can you save it with 5 million personal points?"
5161Ibuki looked at me to move quickly.
5162I took out my cell phone and sent a message to someone.
5163The message was immediately marked as read and the other party said that he would come to my room.
5164There are still two hours, and the time limit is almost up.
5165It's not easy, he really can't wait patiently.
5166"What are you doing?"
5167"After this, someone will come, that person is an Ace that will stop Ryuuen from dropping out of school."
5168"As Card to stop Ryuuen from dropping out of school ...?"
5169Suddenly, they were not sure.
5170After a few minutes, the room doorbell will ring.
5171This strengthened the alertness of Ibuki and Ishizaki.
5172"Is it okay if this person sees us with you?"
5173"Don't worry about this. But it would be better to explain it first."
5174Before the arrival of a visitor, I told them how.
5175 
5176

5186PART 6
5187 
5188"Excuse me."
5189Seeing the visitors in front of him, both of them were naturally surprised.
5190They might not be able to imagine it.
5191"Is this serious? ..."
5192"Oh!"
5193"Wow, I already thought someone would be here ... Good evening."
5194"Good night."
5195Somehow Ishizaki said a little late.
5196The one who came to my room was Ichinose Honami.
5197There are also Ibuki and Ishizaki from class 1D.
5198Ibuki saw it and it seemed like she finally knew the answer.
5199"It's about the same interests." Ibuki said.
5200"What are you saying? What do you mean by that?"
5201Ishizaki who still doesn't understand tilts her head.
5202"I think so, Ibuki-san." Ichinose answered.
5203"No one else will help Ryuuen. Even if someone says they will give a vote of praise, I don't know if he will really do it. But ... there are exceptions."
5204"Oh, right ... Ichinose will save everyone in class B ...!"
5205It seems that understanding finally reaches Ishizaki.
5206"Yes. I will ask everyone in the class to give 40 voices of praise from Class B to Ryuuen-kun. Instead, Ibuki-san will help us fill in enough personal points."
5207This is a strategy that can only be used by these two people.
5208From the start, Ichinose, had thought of a strategy to collect personal points from his colleagues, and Ryuuen, had collected personal points because of his contract with class A.
5209 "If both of them work together, there will be no students who leave Class B, and class D can also defend Ryuuen."
5210The total number of criticisms given to Ryuuen was only 39 votes, no more.
5211If you help darI can get Class B, Ryuuen's negative voice has been completely erased and turned into a positive voice.
5212Ibuki and Ichinose looked at each other.
5213There is no mutual trust between the two who do not have closeness.
5214However, by looking at each other, they can still judge whether the other party can be trusted to some extent.
5215One by one, Ibuki and Ichinose's view turned to look into my eyes.
5216"I will use 20 million personal points to cancel expulsion ..."
5217Then he saw Ibuki again.
5218"What should I do? You have the right to accept it or not, Ichinose."
5219Ichinose has the right to vote.
5220He can ignore it or accept it because he still has the means to use Nagumo's power.
5221"It's decided. If Ibuki-san and Ishizaki-kun don't mind, let us help."
5222"Really ? "
5223"Yes, I have confirmed the two people's feelings."
5224"You're an idiot Ichinose."
5225"Hm?"
5226"Even though bad rumors have flowed, you still have access points from everyone, but you want to save everyone and decide to use all personal points for that."
5227"I collect personal points from them again. It turns out it's not impossible to collect as many as 20 million personal points for the first class. Isn't Ibuki-san, also the same as me now? Even though you have 5 million points in your own pocket, but you decided to use them all for Ryuuen-kun. "
5228Ibuki quietly averted his gaze.
5229"I'm different from you ... and someone in our class will cry because of Ryuuen. That person might be me."
5230"But don't you still want to help Ryuuen-kun?"
5231"I just feel guilty about that person ... I owe him a lot but he has to get expelled. This really makes me unhappy."
5232This assistance is based on awareness of hatred by other colleagues.
5233Ibuki sent personal points to Ichinose's cellphone.
5234"Please check"
5235"Ok."
5236Immediately, he confirmed his point balance and see if it reached 20 million personal points.
5237"Thank you, I have received it."
5238Ichinose shows his cellphone and proves that it has reached 20 million personal points.
5239"The negotiations are over, I will be a witness, the contents of the conversation have also been recorded."
5240I took out my cellphone to show justice.
5241"Ibuki gives about 4 million personal points. Instead, Ichinose will let 40 people in his class give a sound of praise to Ryuuen. If it violates the contract ———"
5242"If I think not to fulfill my responsibilities, and if such a situation occurs, I will take the initiative to get expelled."
5243Of course, I, Ibuki and Ishizaki did not think that this would happen.
5244The actual transaction of a large number of personal points will also be recorded by the school, and it is not surprising that violations will be considered fraudulent transactions.
5245However, because of that Ichinose Honami, so Ishizaki and Ibuki can also do it with confidence.
5246This is the story that happened between me and Ichinose and Ibuki and Ishizaki.
5247

5250PART 7
5251 
5252(Returns to the conversation between Ryuuen and Ayanokouji)
5253The back of the school building is quiet.
5254"You said if you take it seriously, you won't drop out of school. Is this your statement because there is a method like this?"
5255"Yes. After all, I know that Ichinose is collecting personal points. Besides, I'm the bad guy. Even though it seems like he hates me, there should be room for negotiations. But because I don't think it has the ability to use personal points for people to negotiate and wisdom. so I gave it to Ibuki with confidence, but ... I didn't expect you to get involved. "
5256
5257"I trust Ibuki, and use them wisely. This is a good opportunity for me to build a relationship of trust with Ichinose. If I come to your place directly, you wouldn't have given up the points, right?"
5258
5259"That's the right choice, not giving instructions to Ibuki."
5260
5261If I previously explained to Ibuki, it would make Ryuuen suspicious, and he would see who was behind him.
5262
5263"Are you pointing at Manabe?"
5264
5265It's natural for him to think like that because Kei is the target of Manabe's persecution.
5266
5267"No, it's just a coincidence. Do you know that her relationship with Ibuki is so bad?"
5268
5269"It turned out to be the problem. Ibuki really determined it. Manabe became sad."
5270
5271I can imagine what kind of reaction Manabe showed in class.
5272
5273"Am I saved by Ishizaki and Ibuki? This is a story that frustrates me."
5274
5275"Maybe so. "
5276
5277I don't need to explain this. If Ibuki doesn't come to my room that day, I will discuss it with Hiyori.
5278
5279Then let her take personal points and do the same.
5280
5281This is to give Ichinose relief, and I didn't want Ryuuen to drop out of school.
5282
5283I took complicated thoughts on this exam.
5284
5285"If there's another test later, what will you do?"
5286
5287"Kukuku, enbro. "
5288
5289He did not say he would do nothing.
5290
5291In Ryuuen's heart, he has some thoughts about Ibuki and Ishizaki.
5292
5293If Ryuuen can return to the frontlines in the near future, then everything will be interesting.
5294
5295Of course, this depends on Ryuuen.
5296
5297I got a call. A name is displayed on the mobile screen. It’s from Ichinose.
5298
5299After learning that someone called me, Ryuuen turned and returned to school without saying anything.
5300
5301"Class B seems to have completed the exam without anyone dropping out of school."
5302
5303 "Yes. I let everyone focus on Kanzaki-kun, who 'volunteered to be the target of criticism,' and set him as the person to be released, and then paid 20 million personal points to cancel his withdrawal. 
5304That's fine, all class B is safe. "
5305
5306"But the price you pay is not cheap."
5307
5308Although only temporary, class B finance is now worse than class D.
5309
5310Even though personal points will be allocated again in April, their lives will be very difficult.
5311
5312And when they go up to second grade, there may be situations where they need to use personal points early.
5313
5314These things cannot be confirmed until now.
5315
5316"Even if we lose personal points, we can restore them again, but once we lose one of our important friends, they will not return."
5317
5318It seems like I have said something unnecessary.
5319There is no doubt at Ichinose.
5320
5321It was clear that she had the thought of graduating with all his classmates.
5322
5323"Ryuuen-kun might not like this result, but it seems that Manabe is the one who left school."
5324
5325I did not mention that I had seen Ryuuen before, and pretended not to hear the half sentence.
5326
5327"Was Ichinose close to Manabe?"
5328
5329"I don't know if we are familiar. Maybe it's more appropriate to say that we're friends. But I still feel lonely. Totsuka from class A and Yamauchi from class C must go ..."
5330
5331She might not have a real feeling about this.
5332
5333"Will there be someone else who will go like this in the future?"
5334
5335This question disturbs Ichinose.
5336
5337"Maybe. "
5338
5339As if, the students who had suddenly disappeared.
5340
5341"Even so, you will continue to fight, right?"
5342
5343"I want to go to class A with all my friends and graduate together."
5344
5345Until now, there might have been someone who considered Ichinose like a hypocrite.
5346
5347However, now they will completely disappear.
5348
5349No matter what happens, Ichinose will continue to the end to protect the class.
5350
5351"... Thank you very much, Ayanokouji-kun ... If there's no Ayanokouji-kun, I ..."
5352
5353"Have you been dating Nagumo?"
5354
5355"... um."
5356
5357When I said it, she replied in the usual way.
5358
5359"Even though I know this is stupid, but if it's to help my classmate ... I think that this is not a cheap 
5360price. However, knowing that I can complete the exam without choosing that method, I feel very relieved."
5361
5362She seemed to stroke his chest, and I could hear his breath coming out through the side of the phone.
5363
5364"If I did that, I think I'll regret it."
5365
5366With that, she laughed again.
5367
5368"If me or student council president wasn’t thee, what will you have done on this additional exam?"
5369
5370"... Do you want to hear this?"
5371
5372"Because I'm worried. Haven't you thought about it?"
5373
5374"Well, there are two plans. The first is that I chose to leave."
5375
5376Sure enough, she would choose himself to drop out of school.
5377
5378"But I think it's a problem. I'm also a member of this school and have thoughts of fighting to the end."
5379
5380Does she focus on other plans?
5381
5382"Others ... are lotteries."
5383
5384"I see ... ..."
5385
5386It seems that anyone can think of this, but it is difficult to get approval and adopt it.
5387
5388"Everyone in class B, is it ready to become a lottery?"
5389
5390"Yes. We have discussed it. If we cannot prepare a way to avoid leaving school that day, then we will write down the names of the three people chosen for the lottery and make a lottery. That's the plan. "
5391
5392If he wants to be fair and judge based on students' strengths and weaknesses, only she can do it.
5393
5394If one of them is withdrawn, it will be balanced with a sound of praise, but everyone in the class will still agree with this strategy.
5395
5396"This can be handled. But in other classes, this strategy is impossible."
5397
5398Naturally, good students will definitely not agree.
5399
5400"Nobody wants to drop out of school, but I also don't want to see my friends drop out of school. After I explained this to them, everyone agreed."
5401
5402Just because class B has one absolute leader, she can do this.
5403
5404"I'm very impressed."
5405
5406Even though I couldn't show it because it was on the telephone, I lowered my head and showed respect for Ichinose.
5407
5408Although nothing there wasn’t anything extraordinary from this strategy.
5409
5410But it can create an environment where this strategy can be implemented, it is great.
5411
5412"Okay, see you again, thank you very much, Ayanokouji-kun."
5413
5414"I'm just an intermediary, you have to thank Ryuuen and his friends."
5415
5416
5417
5418
5419
5420
5421
5422
5423
5424
5425PART 8
5426 
5427My cell phone receives a text message.
5428
5429"That's from Sakayanagi."
5430
5431Even though I don't know where he got the information, let's meet.
5432
5433At first I thought he would see the results posted ...
5434
5435The text message sent by Sakayanagi said that he was waiting for me in a special building. I intend to leave now.
5436
5437Even though it's time to make an appointment, I still have to meet now.
5438
5439I immediately came to the place where we talked in the special building last time.
5440
5441"You come? "
5442
5443"Because you already know my contact number, shouldn't you call me?"
5444
5445"Because I think, even though I can't see you today, there's no problem."
5446
5447"What do you want to say?"
5448
5449"I'll explain it to you."
5450
5451Saying that Sakayanagi walked closer to her staff so that the distance between me and her was shortened.
5452
5453"I think I'm a little worried because I might have confused you, but it seems that it's not a necessary concern."
5454
5455Needless to say, Sakayanagi refers to the use of 
5456'Yamauchi to focus the voice of criticism on me.'
5457
5458"When you came to negotiate directly with me and hoped to delay the fight, I felt 90% sure. However, I still can't trust you fully. So I played the card."
5459
5460"I know. But does this violate the agreement?"
5461
5462"You didn't break the agreement because it didn't have a negative impact on me."
5463
5464Even though I was forced to withstand tension, but as a result, I became the owner of an extraordinary 
5465number of praise votes.
5466
5467No matter how I look at it, I have no reason to blame it.
5468
5469"Thank you. "
5470
5471Sakayanagi lowered her head slightly and expressed her gratitude.
5472
5473"By the way ... Even though Totsuka-kun's criticism was 36 votes, he should have received 38 votes in total. Did you give a vote of praise to him?"
5474
5475"I'm not sure, you told me directly that you want to let Katsuragi out of school, I feel this is just a bluff."
5476
5477In that case, the possibility that Yahiko, who was a supporter of Katsuragi, would be a very high target.
5478But that doesn't change anything even though I vote.
5479
5480"That's great. After all, you are an opponent I must defeat."
5481
5482"Is that only because you want to make fun of me this time?"
5483
5484"Well, it's a lie if I say no. I have a reason to postpone the fight to the next exam. I said something like this not long ago. This test is a stage that someone has prepared to expel you out of school. Someone even sent a message text me and ask me to expel you out. "
5485
5486"Message?"
5487
5488"Yes. It should be related to the person who made my father suspended from his job. Initially, in this additional test, the voice that must be given to a different class was not the voice of praise but would be the voice of criticism, that should have happened. make sense ?  "
5489
5490"If such rules are legally enforced, no matter what the student is like, if he focuses on someone, he could expel me."
5491
5492If it's Sakayanagi or Ichinose, it would be a trivial matter to overthrow the criticisms if he tried to get them out.
5493
5494"Yes. Because of the strong opposition from the teachers on duty, this situation has been avoided. But there is something more interesting than working with someone like that to force you out. So to protect you in any situation. I decided to control the choice of praising votes. class A with my hand. In this way, even if someone secretly acts, it's impossible for you to get expelled."
5495
5496"If so, why Yamauchi, which is used by you?"
5497
5498"Do you remember? When he was in the training camp, he had a rude attitude and hit me."
5499
5500It's true it happened.
5501
5502"That is a retaliation for that."
5503
5504Just because of that small thing, she did it.
5505
5506No, maybe this is enough for Sakayanagi.
5507
5508"But I just gave you a chance. From the start, he was a useless student in the class, so he will still be eliminated in the end, right?"
5509
5510"Yes."
5511
5512Even if Sakayanagi is not involved in this additional test, the results will remain the same.
5513
5514"And that's the best result of this test. While hoping that my father can return as soon as possible, so that school management can return to normal."
5515
5516In this empty building.
5517
5518Someone suddenly entered the room that was originally just the two of us.
5519
5520"Ah, Hello."
5521
5522A man in a suit appeared in front of us.
5523
5524"This is the first time I've come to this school, can you tell me where is the staff room?"
5525
5526"Are you looking for a staff room? You msearch in the wrong place. By the way, you're not polite, who are you? "
5527
5528"I'm Tsukishiro, who will act as Director this time."
5529He waved his hand politely, and showed a sly smile.
5530
5531He may be in his 40s, and he is a young director like Sakayanagi's father.
5532
5533
5534
5535
5536
5537
5538
5539
5540
5541
5542
5543
5544
5545
5546
5547
5548
5549
5550
5551
5552
5553
5554
5555
5556
5557
5558
5559
5560
5561
5562
5563
5564
5565
5566
5567
5568
5569
5570
5571
5572
5573
5574
5575
5576"Oh, is that so? What a coincidence you got lost and came here. It seems that the Director is a very easy person to get lost. Or ... After you find us through a surveillance camera, you ran here to explore the situation. I think this place is me and Ayanokouji-kun uses it for secret meetings during this exam. If you keep an eye on us, it's very easy to come. "
5577
5578When I heard those words, I remembered Sakayanagi's line of sight towards the unnatural surveillance camera, which she had shown earlier.
5579If someone saw what we did here, they might panic.
5580Thinking like this. 'Other people will say he caught us'.
5581
5582Director Tsukishiro received those words from Sakayanagi while smiling.
5583
5584"You really said something very interesting. No, I heard this school is a very interesting place. Are you all students like that? Then I'm sorry."
5585The man walked past us.
5586
5587"If you are looking for staff space then you have to turn and go down. You're in the wrong building ..."
5588
5589When Sakayanagi politely explained, Tsukishiro kicked his wand while still smiling.
5590
5591Sakayanagi clearly cannot react to unexpected actions and started falling.
5592
5593"Oh."
5594
5595I immediately embraced him to prevent the fall of Sakayanagi. Then the big arm aimed at my body right after that.
5596
5597I am holding Sakayanagi, and I cannot move my body. I take a hit, but avoid the impact as much as possible and let Sakayanagi sit on the ground. Immediately after the attack, he grabbed my neck and pressed me against the wall firmly.
5598
5599"This isn't as great as I heard from the rumor, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka."
5600
5601My throat was pushed strongly and I couldn't make a sound.
5602
5603It seems difficult to break free from a power that cannot be imagined from this appearance.
5604
5605"... ... you did something extraordinary, are you really a director?"
5606
5607"You should get direction, to expel him out of school."
5608
5609"Is that an email from your colleague? Because it's impossible for school officials to want to trust people like me, because they can't openly expel students from school?"
5610
5611Sakayanagi smiled and stood slowly.
5612
5613"Thank you for saving me, Ayanokouji-kun."
5614
5615It is impossible for Sakayanagi with a physical disability to be able to avoid it.
5616
5617It's possible that it will end up getting worse.
5618
5619"Director who acts using violence against students. Do you think this won't cause problems?"
5620
5621"Don't worry, because the surveillance camera here has been replaced with a fake camera."
5622
5623In other words, whatever happens, it will not be known.
5624
5625"Well, there's a message from your father: 'I don't want to go play with the kids anymore, please come back soon.' If you agree, you have to blink twice?"
5626
5627I dd not speak a word, and I did not do anything.
5628
5629Indeed this is what that person expected.
5630
5631"Looks like you have no intention of leaving school."
5632
5633Seeing that I didn't answer anything, the Director muttered with a boring look.
5634
5635"Why don't you show some resistances? 
5636
5637Please show me that you are not a normal child"
5638
5639The impact given to my throat became stronger.
5640
5641He is an opponent who cannot be compared to ordinary students who have experienced training.
5642
5643"Just the eye strength isn't a part of you, do you want to see my full strength?"
5644
5645He once provoked me.
5646
5647However, I still haven't shown resistance.
5648
5649When he realized that I had no intention to counterattack immediately, Tsukishiro let me go.
5650
5651"I will officially start working at this school starting in April. Please look forward to it."
5652
5653After leaving this sentence, the man left the special building.
5654
5655"A wise choice, Ayanokouji-kun."
5656
5657Sakayanagi praised me for not making resistance or counterattack.
5658
5659"He is the director. If I fought against  him, I really don't know what will happen."
5660
5661Even though he said that the surveillance camera had been replaced with a fake camera, it was not a guarantee it did not record the exchange between us. If the video where the director's part is acting violently cut, this is checkmate.
5662
5663"Is your body okay?"
5664
5665"You don't need to worry about that. I'm used to this kind of experience.”
5666
5667“Sakayanagi!"
5668
5669"Yes, what?"
5670
5671"The next special test, should you compete officially with me?"
5672
5673As soon as I say this, Sakayanagi makes a surprised expression.
5674
5675"I never thought that you would say this directly. "
5676
5677"If that person was involved since April, I can't be your opponent for a long time, I want to do it in black and white and I want to get it done quickly."
5678
5679"No, I don't need it two or three times, I'll be happy to fight with you."
5680
5681Immediately after, the last special test in the first grade will begin. That's why Sakayanagi will end the confrontation she wants.
