Prologue The Monologue of Yousuke
Hirata
To me, my Classmates are important Existences.

…No, that’s not quite right.
To me, my class is the important one.
I know very well the contradiction within that statement.
To protect my important Friends, I have to protect the class.
If I can protect the class, I can protect my Friends.
The class is a gathering of several Students. There are as many different
ways of thinking as there are the number of Students. They start fighting each
other over the most insignificant things.
That’s why I have to protect them.
Eventually, protecting my class became my duty.
However that’s not My true self.
I was never the center of my class originally. Instead, my existence was
that of a shadow.
Using Class C as an example, I may have been similar to Ayanokōji-kun
perhaps.
That’s why I sometimes see him overlapping with my previous self.
But I changed.
After that incident, there was no way I wouldn’t.
When I was little, I had a very good friend. A friend who was together
with me from kindergarten to middle school. He was being bullied without
me noticing and ended up attempting suicide.
No, the fact that he’s still alive is pure coincidence.
Him dying wouldn’t be strange at all.
That day.
From that day on, my life began to change.
I began to think of how to get rid of bullying.

But I failed.
The class was being pinned down because they were making the wrong
choices. The fights within the class itself have disappeared, but at the same
time, so did the smiles. And then, yet again, the same thing was about to
happen right in front of me. I cannot let the same mistake repeat itself. That
was the single answer I reached.
The only way to protect this class.
That is—
The scene spreading out in front of me was filled with my classmates
watching me with surprise on their faces.
“Horikita… can you shut up a bit.”
Words containing no signs of intelligence.
Vulgar and full of violence. My own words.
A voice far from anger or sadness.
My classmates, including Horikita-san, look at me strangely.
That doesn’t matter.
At this stage, it doesn’t matter anymore.
At the very end of this worst special exam.

I, I—

Chapter 1: The Calm Before the Storm
It was finally the first of March, a few days after the end-of-term exams.
Monday, the day where everyone was anxiously waiting for the results to
be announced.
After all, in the case of a failing grade, the only option left was expulsion.
“Sensei, are you going to announce the results now!?”
Unable to sit still any longer, Ike practically fell out of his seat as he
waited for the homeroom teacher, Chabashira, to respond.
“Calm yourself. You’ll know in a couple of minutes.”
Chabashira, with practiced movements, spread out a large piece of paper
she brought in on the blackboard.
This school would usually release our grades digitally, like on our cell
phones or on the online forums. However, when it comes to the exams where
expulsion was at stake, the teachers would display the results to us like this.
“Are you feeling confident, Ike?”
“O-oh well, yeah, I studied pretty hard, but…”
“You studied hard, huh? Yet you’re still so uneasy?”
Chabashira must have found his reply more amusing than surprising, as
she gave off a slight smile.
For Ike, who usually gets low scores, it was only natural that he would
feel anxious no matter how much he studied.
“Sudō, you always seem to be in the running for the lowest score, so how
are you feeling?”
It wouldn’t be surprising for Sudō to be the most anxious student in the
classroom.
Considering the previous tests, it was no exaggeration to say that Sudō’s
scores were some of the lowest in almost every subject. Chabashira was
probably expecting a reply similar to Ike’s, but his response was something
far more unexpected.
“…I’m confident at the very least. I absolutely won’t get a failing grade.”

“Oh?”
Despite the fact that physical prowess was Sudō’s only redeeming quality,
his expression and tone of voice still managed to hold a distinct air of
confidence.
Of course, I suppose he would still be anxious about the results, just like
Ike.
However, thanks to the effort he’s put in to overcome that anxiety and the
experience he’s accumulated, he’s been able to establish confidence.
This was what Horikita’s repeated study sessions had burned into his
head. It was different compared to what he was capable of back when his
entire strategy for academics consisted of superficially cramming the
information the night before. Little by little the seeds of knowledge had
begun to grow.
As the teacher who guided Sudō’s studies, Horikita’s face remained
unclouded.
Well, she did seem somewhat displeased with how Sudō was getting
ahead of himself.
“Hmm… It’s pretty interesting to see how you kids have grown. There’s
no way to figure out just what you’ll accomplish next, and you’ve all easily
surpassed my expectations. Now, I suppose I’ll announce the results of your
end-of-term exams.”
Chabashira began posting test results onto the paper on the blackboard.
And after this, she would draw a red line across the results.
Anyone whose name falls below that line would be forcibly expelled from
the school.
“The results this time-”
With a red pen in hand, Chabashira pressed the tip against the paper and
drew a horizontal line.
The red line of fate.
And the number of students whose names fell below it was… zero.
In other words, …
“Everyone successfully passed the exam. These have been your best
results so far.”
Chabashira revealed that everyone in Class C passed.
“All right!”
Ike was the first to cry out.

It seemed like he was pretty afraid to hear the results. After all, Ike had
the lowest score in the class.
“Well, that wasn’t too hard. Hahahaha… That was close!”
Ike spoke, his attention concentrated on his name and the red line directly
under it.
“I only studied a little bit the day before and I still managed to pass.”
Yamauchi said as much, yet his name was listed right above Ike’s.
“Don’t lie Haruki, you were studying every day in desperation, weren’t
you?”
“Is that so? Wahahaha!”
At any rate, both Ike and Yamauchi had successfully managed to pass the
exam, so nobody had any complaints.
Chabashira watched over such a scene with a gentle gaze.
Nevertheless, the results were surprising.
Ike came in last, with Yamauchi coming up right behind him. They were
followed by Hondō, Satō, and Inogashira.
Sudō’s name was right above Inogashira’s.
Considering Sudou’s results so far, it could be said that he’s seen some
substantial improvement.
“Sudō. This past year, you managed to improve your grades better than
anyone. You seemed confident that you’d pass as well. I’m looking forward
to seeing how you’ll succeed in the future.”
Chabashira appeared to share my feelings on the matter.
“Heh. It’s nothing special.”
Despite saying that, he looked pleased with how well he did.
On the other side of things, the students taking the positions at the top
were pretty much the same as usual.
Coming in first was Keisei, and second place was held by Kōenji. Keisei
had been getting good grades from the start, and with how diligent he is with
his studies, it was only natural that he’d outrank the rest of the class.
However, Kōenji was still as much of a mystery as ever. He was never
studying, and he didn’t interact with anyone else, either. If he utilized the full
extent of his abilities, then he just may have the potential to surpass even
Keisei. Because of all the small fluctuations in Kōenji’s test results so far, it’s
possible that, depending on the exam, he’s slacking off when he doesn’t think
it’s worth his time. Horikita was ranked third. She usually trailed a bit behind

in English, but this time she scored much higher. She had probably gotten a
lot better thanks to the time she spent tutoring Sudō.
“Sensei, how did the other classes do?”
“They’ve all pulled through just like you did. In terms of the average
score per class, Class C came in 3rd.”
There was no reason to ask which class came in first, second, and fourth
respectively.
“As I thought, it seems we’ll have to aim higher if we want to overtake
the upper classes.”
Without a hint of complacency, Horikita started writing down everyone’s
scores.
The students at the top were just short of perfect scores, so further
improvement wasn’t an option. In fact, the only option they had left was to
focus on improving the scores of the students at the bottom.
“Good job with Sudō. I’m impressed.”
“It’s the result of his own hard work after all. All I did was thoroughly
break down each of his weaknesses until he started to see success.”
Just like Horikita, Sudō’s weakest subject was English, yet he was still
seeing quite a bit of improvement with his scores.
This improvement clearly showed that the two of them had focused their
efforts on English during their studies.
“I wonder if he’s capable of bumping up his score a bit higher next time.
Of course, it all depends on whether or not he can continue to concentrate.”
That was a pointless thing to worry about. After all, as long as Horikita
was around, Sudō would continue to give it his all.
He was probably beginning to get the hang of studying by now.
He might even be able to squeeze into the upper half of the class soon.
“It looks like Ike-kun and Yamauchi-kun still have a bit of space between
their scores and the red line. It was probably the right decision for us to
routinely hold study sessions. If a certain you-know-who next to me would
actually put in the smallest amount of effort, our class’s average score might
go up a little bit more, now wouldn’t it?”
“This is my limit.”
As usual, my scores were neither good nor bad. This time, I came in at
18th place.
“I’m not going to accept that. One day I’m going to make you take this

seriously.”
“I’ll try my hardest in order to live up to your expectations.”
In any case, it was great that everyone was able to overcome the exam this
time as well.
The students who had just barely managed to pass the exams were all
clearly relieved that they were over. Ike and Yamauchi had even already
begun joking around with each other.
Chabashira watched over her homeroom class with a tender gaze.
“I have to hand it to you guys. It may be a simple thing to say, but well
done.”
It was usually pretty rare for Chabashira to praise her own class, but it
seemed like it had been occurring more often recently. She probably had a
hunch that everyone would pass the end-of-term exams in the first place.
“We did it!”
“Nevertheless Ike, you’re getting a bit too excited. Special exams aside, at
an academic level, it’s only natural for you to pass an exam like this one. And
besides, this exam wasn’t nearly as difficult as other national-level exams.”
Compared to the written exams we had taken so far, the difficulty of this
particular exam was definitely higher.
However, the school sets the difficulty of the exams close to the student’s
current skill level. It seems like it’s all for the purpose of maintaining
appearances.
“Well, it can’t be helped, but now that the good news is out of the way…”
Chabashira cut into the cheerful atmosphere that had been filling the
classroom, immediately replacing it with something much heavier.
It was the usual display.
“Most of you were probably already aware of this, but just because you’ve
finished this end-of-term exam doesn’t mean that testing has finished for the
year. There will be a particularly important special exam soon, and as in
previous years, it’s scheduled to begin on March 8th.”
Chabashira explained what we should expect moving forward.
Speaking of March 8th, that’s next Monday, isn’t it?
We had just finished with the end-of-term exam, so a final special exam
taking place so soon afterward wasn’t unreasonable by any means. After all,
it was the last thing left on the school’s schedule for the year.
Furthermore, third-year students would apparently have to take yet

another exam in tandem with the one next week.
“Everyone. This next special exam will be the last one this year. Let’s all
work together and try our best. If we do, our class should be able to aim for
class A without anyone being expelled.”
Hirata’s encouraging words seemed to spread amongst the class, with
many students speaking up to show their support.
Chabashira watched over the scene, revealing a vaguely relieved smile.
“The way things have been going recently, I’m starting to think that all of
you might just be able to graduate together two years from now.”
With these parting words, Chabashira dismissed class earlier than usual.
“Having sensei give us a compliment like that feels out of this world,
doesn’t it?”
Ike and Yamauchi began laughing cheerfully.
“But don’t get too cocky. Your last exam is only a week away, and by no
means will it be easy.”
Chabashira spoke up again just before walking out of the classroom,
leaving us with this one last reminder.

Chapter 1 Part 1
There was only a little time left for us as first-year students.

I used the time between classes to take a quick bathroom break.
On the way back to class, I happened across two familiar upperclassmen
in the midst of a deep conversation.
The first was the current student council president, 2nd-year student
Nagumo Miyabi. He was accompanied by his predecessor, 3rd-year student,
Horikita Manabu.
It was probably by sheer coincidence, but Nagumo spotted me
immediately.
The moment he waved at me, it seemed like I had lost the opportunity to
pretend I hadn’t noticed and head back to class.
“Yo Ayanokōji. Did you manage to pass the end-of-term exam?”
In contrast to Nagumo’s direct question, the elder Horikita just calmly
looked in my direction.
“Somehow.”
He had engaged me with a meaningless conversation.
“How cold. I don’t think that’s the right attitude to have when the student
council president is right in front of you.”
“…Is that so?”
I straightened up a little bit. I wasn’t sure if it was enough for him, but it
should be somewhat less objectionable.
“Well, whatever. You’ve come by at just the right time. There’s
something I’ve been wanting to ask you.”
Before he continued, Nagumo let show a delighted expression, as if he
was glad that the three of us were alone.
“In order to divert attention away from the slander that had been going
around about Ichinose Honami, it seems that someone went and posted a
bunch of rumors about various first-year students on the school forums. Now,
I wonder, just who would do such a thing?”

He was testing me with his words. No, it was entirely possible that he had
already seen right through me.
It didn’t matter how much information he had, my attitude wouldn’t
change.
“Well, I have no idea. But at the end of the day, they’ve caused me
nothing but trouble.”
“Oh yeah, you were a victim too, weren’t you? What happened with that
again…?”
“The school’s announcement made it pretty clear that we shouldn’t be
talking about that. I don’t think even the student council president is an
exception to that.”
Due to the warning, this sort of inquisitive behavior should be avoided.
“It’s as Ayanokōji says, Nagumo. You should refrain from saying
anything too carelessly.”
With the elder Horikita backing me up, Nagumo immediately backed
down. It didn’t seem like he was particularly interested in touching on the
subject.
“So, what have you two celebrities been talking about?”
“Just having a little discussion with Horikita-senpai. Ain’t that right?”
Seeking confirmation, Nagumo looked to the elder Horikita, who
responded with a simple nod.
I was slightly concerned about the location they were holding their
conversation. The two of them had gathered in the hallway near the first-year
classrooms, so there was a lingering feeling that something was out of place.
“Tomorrow, a step ahead of the other school years, the third-year students
will begin a decisive battle that will determine whether Horikita-senpai will
successfully graduate from Class A or not. So I wanted to hear about it from
him personally. Are you interested too?”
Unlike the rest of the student body, the third-year students still had to take
more than one special exam.
The fact that it was starting so soon wasn’t that surprising.
I didn’t know what Nagumo wanted me to say, but I responded to him
honestly anyway.
“I’m not particularly interested. Ultimately, I don’t have the time to be
worrying about my upperclassmen.”
Toward my complete lack of interest, Nagumo let show a somewhat

dissatisfied expression.
“How cold. You’re acting like that just because you’re Horikita-senpai’s
favorite, aren’t you?”
I couldn’t remember ever being particularly favored by him.
In fact, over the past year, I could probably count the number of times I
had gotten involved with him on one hand.
“Don’t delude yourself, Ayanokōji. All that preferential treatment doesn’t
make you special. You just got lucky with the environment you were placed
in. That’s right… It’s all thanks to that watchful, anxious classmate of yours
right over there.”
Confused, I looked over my shoulder and saw the figure of Horikita,
watching us from a distance.
It was too much of a coincidence for this selection of people to have

gathered here by chance alone.
“Are you the one who called her here, Nagumo?”
“It’s only natural for me to reach out to the younger sister of my senpai.
I’ll be leading the younger generations as the student council president next
year, after all.”
Somehow, Nagumo seemed to have orchestrated everything in order to
get both of the siblings to show up here.
I seemed to be the only person who was present by mere coincidence.
“Come here.”
Nagumo bluntly called out to the younger Horikita.
“…The one who sent me this email… Was it you, president Nagumo?”
“Well, not exactly, but close enough. You’re Horikita-senpai’s little sister,
right?”
“Yes… my name is Horikita Suzune.”
Due to her older brothers presence, Horikita was reserved with her
response.
“I didn’t expect my predecessor’s little sister to get placed in Class D after
enrollment. I was surprised.”
“What’s your goal here Nagumo?”
Without so much as a glance at his sister, the elder Horikita pressed him
for an answer.
After all, Nagumo probably had a reason for why he called them here in

the first place.
However, Nagumo simply shook his head, as if to claim he had no ulterior
motives.
“I just wanted to meet with you and your little sister.”
His objective here was probably to evaluate her.
Coming to the same conclusion, the elder Horikita took the initiative.
“I’ll say this now just so we’re clear, but you had better not be thinking
that you can use my sister to force a concession from me.”
“Concession? Certainly not! Do you really think that I’d ever make a
move on her? Such a cute underclassman and moreover my senpai’s precious
little sister?”
“For the sake of getting what you want, I think you’d do anything.”
Nagumo didn’t affirm the elder Horikita’s cold words, but he didn’t deny
them either.
“Even so, you don’t have to be so distant do you? If only you had told me
about your sister earlier. If you had, I would’ve been able to invite her to the
student council much sooner.”
“What?”
Hearing something unexpected, both siblings were surprised.
“If it’s my senpai’s little sister, I can have her take over as the student
council president after I graduate. The fact that she’s the sister of a man
who’s done so much for our school makes her more than qualified enough.”
“Don’t use blood relationships as a means to evaluate somebody’s
capabilities. My sister has nothing to do with how well I performed as
president.”
“…That’s right. I am not fit to be a member of the student council.”
Horikita rejected Nagumo’s invitation to join the student council. She just
didn’t have the self-confidence to be a part of it, given how her older brother
had also dismissed the idea.
After all, when I had alluded to her about joining the student council in
the past, her reaction had been just as negative.
Nagumo seemed to see something in Horikita’s humble attitude.
“This meeting is just for introductions. I’ll invite you again another day.”
Whether or not Horikita actually wanted to join the student council was
another matter. It was as if Nagumo was declaring that he would be actively
involved with Horikita moving forward. By doing something so disruptive,

he was probably searching for her brother’s weak points.
“…Well then, um, I’m-”
Horikita attempted to get out of the conversation. Rather than wanting to
get away from Nagumo, Horikita seemed as though she wanted to get away
from her brother.
“The third-years aren’t going to be here for very much longer, you know.
Don’t you think it’d be nice to be spoiled a little?”
“I’m sorry. If you’ll excuse me.”
Horikita, judging that any further conversation would be uncomfortable
for her brother, quickly hurried back to the classroom. Given Horikita’s
reactions, anyone would’ve been able to see how bad a relationship the two
siblings had with one another.
“It seems the two of you have a wonderful relationship, don’t you
Horikita-senpai?”
“Are you satisfied, Nagumo?”
No matter what scheme Nagumo was up to, the elder Horikita didn’t seem
concerned.
“I would cherish the time I have left with my little sister if I were you.”
Even though Nagumo was partially trying to get a reaction from him, it
was true that Horikita had come to this school to follow after her brother, and
yet she had only been able to meet with him a couple of times so far.
“Anyways senpai. Please, do your best to instill a feeling of presence in
the student body by graduating as a member of Class A. If you just so
happened to demote down to Class B before graduation, even you won’t be
able to laugh it off, if you know what I mean?”
If that were to happen, he would probably be thought of as a failure. One
who betrayed the expectations of the school and the students around him.
He was probably under quite a bit of pressure… No, he isn’t the type of
man who would be concerned about such a thing.
The elder Horikita sensed that the conversation had reached its conclusion
and left without saying another word.
“Good grief. Of course this isn’t enough to get him to take me seriously.”
It seemed that Nagumo intended to obsess over his predecessor until the
bitter end.
“Is it really so important for you to compete with the former president like
this?”

During the training camp a while back, in order to deal with the elder
Horikita, Nagumo had opted for a shameless strategy that dragged in the rest
of the third-years as well.
“Of course. Taking down Horikita-senpai is the only objective I have left
at this school.”
After all, there are effectively no opportunities for second and third years
to face off against each other.
Yet, it seemed that he intended to make it happen regardless of what
forcible means he had to come up with.
“Well, what I do will depend on the details of the exam and Horikita-
senpai himself.”
It seemed that no matter how many enemies he makes, Nagumo intended
to make things clear with the elder Horikita before graduation. Despite
claiming otherwise, Nagumo would surely be deeply involved no matter what
the details of the exam turned out to be.
After all, there was almost no time left for him to settle things with his
senpai.
“Will there be any problems with next week’s special exam on your end,
president Nagumo? I wouldn’t expect the second-years to have it easy
either.”
“Well, I wonder. Just carry on, hoping for my inevitable failure.”
As the break was about to end, Nagumo wrapped up the conversation and
took his leave.
Shortly after I returned to the classroom, my neighbor Horikita looked
over at me.
“President Nagumo and my brother… what were they talking about?”
“If you were interested, you should’ve stayed until the end.”
“That’s…”
Well, it was a difficult conversation for her. She becomes docile and meek
like a lamb when she’s in front of her brother, after all.
“It’s unusual that you stuck around and listened to their conversation in
the first place. You’ve sure become someone who’s attracting attention from
all sorts of people, haven’t you? I wonder if it’s thanks to that relay race you
had with my brother at the athletics festival?”
Her words were beautifully laced with a sarcastic irony. To be fair, it’s not
like I’m able to predict the future.

Everything doesn’t always go the way I expect it to.
“It doesn’t seem like there were many chances for you to get closer to
your brother this past year.”
“…So what?”
Horikita’s mood got worse as soon as I brought up her circumstances with
her older brother.
That being the case, it would’ve been better if I didn’t get unexpectedly
dragged into Nagumo’s conversation.
Her concern about what had been discussed earlier with Nagumo was
written all over her face.
“Don’t you want to try and face him at least once before he graduates?”
“You don’t understand anything. There’s no way that my brother would
look after me. Going out of my way to approach him when I know I would be
treated cruelly is just plain stupid.”
So you enrolled in the same school, satisfied with just watching over him
instead?
“If my brother’s interested in anyone… it’s unpleasant, but he’s only
interested in you.”
I was about to tell her that she was wrong, but I ended up stopping myself.
At the moment, Horikita wouldn’t believe me even if I were to go into the
details.
More than anything, it would be meaningless if she didn’t have the
courage to face him herself.
“Really? Well, maybe you’re right.”
I responded, cutting the conversation short.
While I think Horikita still had complaints, she didn’t say anything else.

Chapter 2: The Class Poll
The next day, Tuesday March 2nd.

Morning homeroom.
Chabashira walked through the door shortly after the bell rang.
It was the usual scene that unfolded every morning.
The class was enveloped in an air of relaxation.
It was announced yesterday that we had all passed the end-of-year exam
without any problems. There were still a few days to go before the start of the
final special exam for the first-years on March 8th, so it was no surprise that
there wasn’t a hint of nervousness in the room.
However, Chabashira’s expression as she stood behind the podium was
grimmer than usual.
She projected a tense, stinging aura that spread to the students as well.
“Um, did something happen?”
Hirata, always prioritizing the stability of the class, took the initiative to
speak up.
Chabashira didn’t answer right away, instead choosing to simply remain

silent.
The impression she gave off made it seem like she was reluctant to say
anything.
Up until now, no matter how serious things had been, she would beat her
explanations into us without mercy. So, it didn’t take very long for the class
to realize that this situation was abnormal.
“…There’s something I have to tell you all.”
She spoke heavily.
Her expression was as stern as ever, but the sound of her voice made her
seem like she was struggling.
“As I told you yesterday, the final special exam for the first-years will

begin on March 8th. After this special exam, you will advance to the second
year, as per the general convention of our school.”
Chabashira turned around, picked up a piece of chalk, and reached for the
blackboard.
“This year, however, the situation is slightly different from previous
years.”
“Different… How?”
Hirata asked in return, having felt a sense of danger.
“Not a single student in your grade dropped out this year, even after the
end-of-year exam. Getting this far without a single dropout has never
happened before in the history of this school.”
“We’re pretty awesome when you put it like that, aren’t we?”
I thought about how we shouldn’t be getting ahead of ourselves, but Ike
cut in to do just that.
If it was the usual Chabashira, she’d have probably warned him not to get
too carried away.
“That’s right, and the school thinks so too. Normally, this would be
something to celebrate. Even we, as faculty of the school, hope to see as
many students graduate as possible. However, it needs to be said that several
problems arise when things don’t turn out the way we expect them to.”
The way she spoke was strange. Hirata and Horikita both seemed to feel
something out of place with her choice of words as well.
“It’s as if you’re saying you’re bothered by the fact nobody’s dropped out
yet.”
“It’s not like that at all. But, sometimes things happen that go beyond my
expectations.”
Even though she was saying something she should be happy about,
Chabashira’s words were heavy.
In order to dispel that heaviness, Horikita continued to speak.
“Are you implying that there’s something wrong with us?”
The content of what Chabashira had to tell us wouldn’t change, no matter
what questions Horikita might ask. She wasn’t the person making the choices
here. She was just the employee who had been given the duty of relaying
instructions.
“On the basis that there haven’t been any expulsions among the first-

years, the school…”
Chabashira paused for a moment.
Then, she squeezed out the words that had been stuck in her throat.
“…has decided that, given the extenuating circumstances, you will be

undergoing a supplementary improvised special exam starting today.”
She wrote down today’s date, Tuesday March 2nd, along with the words
“Supplementary Special Exam” on the blackboard.
“Eeeh!? What the heck!? Another special exam!? That’s so unfair! The
school’s acting like a stubborn little brat just because none of us dropped
out!?”
Chabashira simply glossed over Ike’s complaints. Students didn’t have the
right to refuse.
No, maybe she was the one who didn’t have that right. Chabashira was
looking less composed than usual today. She didn’t seem to be trying to
frighten us, so it was highly likely that this really was something that the
school decided on in a hurry.
“It seems a little different from what we’ve done so far…”
Horikita muttered softly, having realized that there was no point fighting
against it at the moment.
“Only the students who manage to pass this supplementary special exam
will be eligible to take the special exam on March 8th.”
Having given a small explanation, Chabashira paused for a moment.
“I never agreed to this! I can’t believe we have to be the ones to take
another exam!”
“Your dissatisfaction is completely justified. After all, the school has gone
and implemented a special exam without any prior notice. Although it’s only
one more exam than in past years, it will still inevitably be a burden on the
students. It’s the truth that I, as well as the other teachers, have been taking
seriously.”
The truth other teachers have been taking seriously? In other words, even
though the teachers had been taking it seriously, the school itself had not. The
way she had phrased it made it possible to arrive at this sort of conclusion.
Piling up extra special exams would certainly be tough on the students at
this point.
For instance, if it’s a written exam that tests academic ability, students

would have to re-apply themselves to their studies. Even in the case of a
physical exam, they would need to work out potential countermeasures.
There would be a lot of pressure on the students, no matter what kind of
exam it was.
That said, even if several students were to express their dissatisfaction, the
special exam wouldn’t just disappear.
Chabashira resumed her explanation.
“The content of the special exam is extremely simple, and the dropout rate
is fairly low at less than three percent per class.”
A dropout rate of less than three percent.
From what I could infer, it certainly seemed low.
But perhaps, this supplementary special exam was different from the
exams we’ve had up till now.
There was no reason for her to expressly bring up the dropout rate.
She had never brought up that piece of information in the exams we had
taken before.
The students who noticed this harbored even further suspicions.
When I briefly directed my gaze toward the girl in the seat next to me, our
eyes met by chance as she had already been looking at me.
“What’s the matter Ayanokōji-kun?”
“No. Nothing.”
“If you keep looking at me without saying anything, it’ll just make me
feel a bit creeped out, you know?”
“…Yeah.”
I turned away, deciding to look out the window for a bit.
In such a confined classroom, I could hear everything that was being said,
no matter where I was actually looking.
“I wonder what kind of exam it will be? What will it ask of us?”
“You seem to be feeling anxious about that point in particular, but it’s
nothing you need to be worried about. This supplementary special exam will
have nothing to do with things like academic or physical ability. When the
time comes, you’ll just be expected to do something so simple that anyone
should be able to do it, like writing your own name down on the test paper. If
there’s ultimately only a three percent chance of dropping out of school,
that’s definitely low, wouldn’t you agree?”
Throughout all of this, she had been trying to avoid touching on the true

nature of the problem: the content of the exam.
“…If difficulty is unrelated, then that three percent is pretty scary for us.”
“Certainly, it’s as you say, Hirata. It’s not like I can’t understand how
you’re feeling. However, whether or not you’ll be able to lower that
percentage will be based on the preparations you make before the official
exam comes to pass. As you’ve probably already imagined, the results of the
exam will change depending on your actions.”
“Where was this dropout rate derived from? Based on what you’ve told
us, it sounds like we’re just drawing lots. Is that the case?”
The chance of someone in this class dropping out of school wasn’t
laughable.
Although Chabashira had understated the dropout rate, the burden it
placed on the students was greater than anticipated.
Hirata, having been the first person to understand it, challenged that point
even further.
“Please tell us. What kind of special exam will we be taking?”
“The name of the special exam is The Class Poll.”
“The Class… Poll…?”
Chabashira wrote out the name of the special exam on the blackboard.
“I’ll now explain the rules for this special exam. For the next four days,
you’ll be evaluated by your fellow classmates. Then on Saturday, you’ll
select the names of three students you find worthy of praise, and the names of
three students you find worthy of criticism and cast your votes for them.
That’s it.”
Does that mean that we would all be evaluating one another? Thinking
about it objectively, students like Hirata and Kushida would accumulate a lot
of praise, putting them at the top of the charts. In contrast, it seems like
students who are thought of as troublemakers or are holding the class back
would accumulate a lot of criticism and plummet to the bottom.
We were shown a glimpse of the urgency the school was facing based on
the fact that they were using a Saturday to hold a portion of the exam.
However, based on everything Chabashira had said so far, the students in
the upper and lower ranks…
“T-that’s it? That’s all the exam is?”
“Correct. That’s it. Didn’t I tell you it was simple?”
“With that being the case, how does the school determine the outcome of

the exam?”
“I’ll explain that now.”
Tightening her grip on the chalk, Chabashira proceeded to write on the
blackboard once more.
“The essence of this special exam is the number of praise and censure
votes you accumulate on Saturday. The top student… that is, the student who
accumulates the most praise votes, will be given a special reward.
This special reward will not be private points. Instead, you will receive
one point from a new system altogether, Protection Points.”
It was a type of point we hadn’t heard anything about until now.
Of course, it captured everyone’s attention.
“Protection points grant you the right to override an expulsion. Even if
you were to fail a test, as long as you have a protection point, you can use it
to cancel out the questions you had gotten wrong. However, these points
cannot be transferred between students.”
It was no exaggeration to say that the moment she said this, a wave of
newfound surprise spread throughout the classroom.
“You should all be able to understand how amazing these points are.
They’re effectively equivalent in value to twenty-million private points. Of
course, in the eyes of an excellent student with no reason to fear expulsion,
they may not hold as much value.”
That would probably never be the case. There was no such thing as a
student who wouldn’t welcome the right to invalidate an expulsion.
The reward was far too extravagant. No, it was beyond extravagant.
These protection points had the potential to be an outrageously dangerous
weapon depending on how they were used.
And it was precisely because of this extravagance that the penalty given to
the lowest ranked students would be even greater.
“Does this mean that something bad happens to the three lowest ranked
students…?”
Hirata asked, uneasy about the answer.
“No. This time, the penalty only applies to the student who receives the
most censure votes in each class. Other students will not be penalized, no
matter how many censure votes they receive. After all, the theme of this
special exam is selecting who will take the top spot, and then deciding
who will take the bottom.

“What kind of penalty is it?”
“The special exam this time is different from the ones you’ve had so far,
with one point in particular being very different. Namely, that this special
exam is being conducted to rectify the problem of there not being any
dropouts.”
Indeed. The detail the students should really be worried about was the
reason why the supplementary special exam was being carried out in the first
place.
If this exam was being held because there had yet to be any dropouts…
“This special exam is exactly as easy as I told you it was. Even if you lack
academic ability or physical strength, you won’t be at a disadvantage. But
even so, why would the school go out of its way to provide the special reward
of protection points? That would be because it’s probably impossible for all
of you to advance to the second year without leaving one of your classmates
behind.”
Chabashira turned around and looked at each of us, one by one.
“So, the student at the lowest rank… will be expelled from the school.”
If there was a vote, there would be results.
And if there were results, there would have to be a first and last place
student.
And then, the person in last place would be expelled.
This outcome would be inevitable.
It would be the same, no matter how superior or inferior the class was.
The only difference would be who would face the penalty.
That was the kind of exam we were dealing with.
The school had set up this supplementary exam simply because they were
upset that nobody had dropped out yet. After all, if the supplementary exam
took place and no students dropped out, it would’ve been meaningless for
them to implement all of this in the first place.
Still, the face of Sakayanagi’s father, the chairman of the school, crossed
my mind. While he may not have shown me his true nature during my
encounter with him, he still didn’t seem to be the type of person who would
enforce such an unreasonable exam.
“I-I don’t understand what you mean, sensei. T-the person in last place…
are you seriously saying that they’ll be expelled?”
“That’s right. They’ll have to face the guillotine. But rest assured, the

class itself won’t be penalized if someone drops out this time. That’s just the
type of exam this is.”
This was clearly different from previous special exams.
Although the possibility of being expelled on an individual basis was
higher, there was also a possibility of everyone being able to elude expulsion
altogether. But this time, there was a system in place where a sacrifice was
inevitable.
This was the special case that the school had prepared for us.
It was precisely because of their urge to force expulsions that they needed
to offer something like protection points in return.
Even so, the students would still be burdened with a disproportionate
amount of risk.
“It seems unreasonable, doesn’t it? Well, that’s what I think as a teacher.
But, nothing can be done about it now that the school has made its decision.
You have no choice but to abide by the rules and take the special exam.”
“Is that really alright…?”
Dark clouds hung over the class despite the fact that everyone had just
overcome the end-of-year exam.
By this weekend, one student from this class was going to disappear.
“As there’s only a short amount of time left until the day of the vote, I will
continue the explanation of the rules. The total number of praise and censure
votes for each student will be made publically available at the end of the
exam. In other words, the results for the whole class will be announced.
However, information regarding who voted for whom will remain
undisclosed, as the vote will be taken anonymously.”
With an exam like this, they would definitely have to do it anonymously.
Votes of praise aside, there would be problems over the censure votes for
quite some time if the finer details of the vote were revealed.
“Moving on, one praise vote and one censure vote will invalidate each
other. Let’s say, for example, that you received censure votes from ten
people, and praise votes from thirty. This would be equivalent to a total of
twenty praise votes. Additionally, neither vote may be cast for yourself, and
it’s also forbidden to vote for the same person multiple times.”
“What about abstention…? Would we be allowed to abstain from using
our censure votes if we wanted to?”
“Of course not. You’ll have to cast all of your votes, regardless of which

type of vote it is. Even if you’re home sick on the day of the exam, you’ll still
have to cast your vote.”
In other words, it was impossible for any of us to leave our ballot blank or
abstain from the vote altogether.
Several students were visibly troubled over this.
This was a very threatening exam for students who felt like they’d amass
censure votes. Students who completely rely on others to overcome these
exams would also feel a considerable amount of pressure.
“…No, it’s too soon to give in to despair.”
Hirata spoke words of comfort, trying to calm Ike and the others down.
“Sensei said earlier that it was only probably impossible for everyone to
avoid expulsion. That means there should be a loophole somewhere.”
When she explained the rules to us during past exams, the hidden
meanings behind her explanations always managed to lead us to a way out.
But what about this time?
This ‘probably impossible’ meant that there were methods available we
hadn’t considered yet.
“Although it’s not easy, a way to prevent any of us from dropping out of
school definitely exists.”
“W-what do you mean, Horikita?”
“If the entire class unites and selects three people for the praise votes and
three people for the censure votes, all six of them would end up with a total
of zero votes. That way, nobody would end up in last place. Isn’t that right?”
“T-that’s it! As expected of Suzune!”
It was certainly possible if all of our classmates followed directions.
However, if even a single person turned traitor, the students who had been
betrayed would be pushed down the path of expulsion.
After all, protection points would incentivize students to reach for first
place.
While people like Kushida, who hates Horikita, could be problematic,
their influence could be accounted for by making some adjustments ahead of
time. If Kushida was put in a position where she was expected to cast a
censure vote for Horikita, a crisis could be avoided to some extent. That way,
it would be possible to determine who had turned traitor after the results of
the vote are announced.
In short, because the traitor would be exposed, they wouldn’t be able to

carelessly betray the class.
“What Horikita brought up just now about controlling the votes is
meaningless.”
“Why sensei?”
“If nobody is selected for both the first and last place positions, the special
exam will be considered a failure. Regardless of your intentions, should the
results of the vote be a net total of zero for every student in the class, another
vote will be held. Put simply, the exam will repeat endlessly until you decide
on someone to expel.”
With this, the escape path the class was frantically searching for was
closed off.
“Isn’t that rule strange? If we voted honestly and just so happened to end
up with a total of zero votes on each side, the results would still be the same,
even if we held another vote. If we forcibly distorted the results after that, it
wouldn’t feel like the students were chosen by a legitimate evaluation.”
“Horikita, your reasoning is correct. Should it just so happen to end up
with a net total of zero votes for everyone, a revote does indeed seem
contradictory. But, think about it realistically. Coincidentally ending up with
a net total of zero votes for everyone in an exam where you explicitly choose
people for both first and last place is almost impossible, right?”
Chabashira’s response was also very reasonable.
A net total of zero votes for everyone wouldn’t happen unless the vote had
been intentionally set up that way.
“…Then, what happens when there’s a tie for first or last place?”
In comparison, there was a fair chance of a tie actually happening.
“In either case, there will be a deciding vote. However, even then, the vote
might be tied a second time. If this happens, the situation will be evaluated by
a special method prepared by the school. I’m unable to elaborate on this
method any further at the present time.”
Does that mean she’d only tell us if it actually happens?
Though, the chances of getting to that point were quite low.
“There’s no need to worry about it. The probability of there being a
deciding vote is effectively zero.”
Chabashira added, appearing to share my thoughts on the matter.

“Why? It should be more than possible enough.”

“That would be because you’ll also be receiving praise votes from the
students in the other classes.”
“From the other classes?”
“You will all be expected to choose one student you find worthy of praise
in another class and cast a separate dedicated praise vote for them. Naturally,
this will count as a single, normal praise vote. In other words, in the event
that a student is heavily disliked within their own class, but substantially
popular with students from the other classes, it would be theoretically
possible for that student to end with a total of around eighty praise votes,
even after the censure votes are accounted for.”
It was unusual for more than 100 praise votes to be floating around.
Given this new information, it was certainly true that the possibility of a
deciding vote taking place was now considerably lower.
With this, it seemed that we had found every piece of the puzzle.
Supplementary Exam|The Class Poll
Exam Contents:
The exam consists of a class vote, where each student in each class is
allotted three praise votes and three censure votes.
Rule 1: Praise and censure votes invalidate each other. Praise Votes –
Censure Votes = Results.
Rule 2: You can’t cast praise or censure votes for yourself.
Rule 3: Voting multiple times for the same person, leaving part of the
ballot blank, abstaining from the vote altogether, and other acts of this nature
are prohibited.
Rule 4: The exam will be repeated until the first and last place students
have been determined. The last place student will be expelled.
Rule 5: You are required to cast a separate dedicated praise vote on a
student in another class.
These were the details of the supplementary exam.

There was no doubt that this test was extremely straightforward and
simple.
But at the same time, it was clear that this exam was the cruelest we’ve

had to face so far.
This weekend, someone in each class was going to disappear.
However-
“Sensei. Why did you say it was probably impossible? No matter how I
look at it, I can’t find any loopholes.”
“That’s right. There aren’t any loopholes. However, it’s also true that
there’s room for uncertainty. You’ve all probably been thinking this already,
but everything changes when you use private points.”
“You’re saying we can use our private points to avoid expulsion?”
“20 million. If you’re able to prepare that many points, the school would
have no other choice but to revoke your expulsion.”
This was the reason why she had said it was ‘probably impossible’.
The fact that there were no restrictions on the transfer of private points
meant that negotiations that made use of them would be tolerated. If you can
obtain praise votes with money, then obtain them. That’s what the school was
telling us.
They’ve judged this to be a form of strength as well.
With the help of the sheer power of your capabilities that you’ve shown
everyone over the past year.
Or with the financial power of the private points you’ve managed to save
up throughout the previous exams.
Or maybe even the power of teamwork you’ve accumulated through
friendship.
We were free to tackle this exam however we wanted to.
“P-please wait. Twenty million points is a little…”
“It’s an impractical amount for you guys, even if you gathered all the
private points in Class C. Though, if you collected points from the other
classes or received charity from the upperclassmen, it’s not impossible.”
It would certainly be theoretically possible if we went beyond our own
class and school year.
However, if one were to ask whether we would actually gather that many
points in order to protect one student, it would be difficult to say.
Even for Class A and Class B, there was a high possibility that they
wouldn’t be able to gather so many private points either. No, even if they did,
it was questionable whether or not they would use them to protect a single

student. It would be very risky for them to throw away all of the assets they
had built up so far.
“This is the only way you’ll be able to work around the rules set by the
school. I’ll say this ahead of time, other attempts to find a way around the
rules of this exam are absolutely impossible. The rest is up for you to judge
and decide upon.”
Chabashira finished her explanation as homeroom came to an end.
As soon as she left the classroom, the class descended into turmoil.
“What do we do!? What do we do!? This is a seriously terrible exam, isn’t
it!?”
“You boys are so noisy!”
“What do you mean noisy!? You’re probably going to cast your censure
votes for us, aren’t you!?”
The boys and girls were tossing slander back and forth, as if on guard
against one another.
“How unsightly.”
One student laughed scornfully, watching over the conflict between the
boys and girls.
The particularly unusual existence of the class, Kōenji Rokusuke.
“There’s no use panicking, is there?”
“Do you really think you are in any position to be calm right now? Do you
even understand how much trouble you’ve caused the class so far?”
Sudō spoke up, questioning Kōenji as he approached.
So far, Kōenji had certainly been causing issues within the class thanks to
his whimsical attitude.
“You selfishly abstained from both the uninhabited island exam and the
athletics festival!”
Their conversation began to draw eyes from around the class.
At this point, the weak minded students were looking for the person who
would become the sacrifice, all so they could avoid being expelled from
school.
“It is you who doesn’t understand, Red Hair-kun.”
Kōenji crossed his legs and stretched them out over his desk.

“It seems that you’re under the impression that everything you’ve
cultivated over the past year is the key to conquering this special exam.”
“That’s exactly how it is!”
“Wrong. This special exam has its sights undoubtedly set upon the next
two years.”
Kōenji flatly rejected Sudō’s opinion, or rather, the opinion of the entire
class.
“Huh? What are you saying…?”
Completely lost, Sudō probably thought of this as Kōenji’s usual
nonsensical behavior.
“Would you listen? This exam is literally a special case. Isn’t it customary
for a class to receive a large penalty when somebody gets expelled? This
time, however, that’s not the case at all. In other words, this is an extremely
suitable opportunity for us to rid ourselves of an unnecessary student.”
“So, I’m saying that you’re the unnecessary student; a total burden to the
class!”
“Oh no, not at all.”
“Wha? …How can you say that!?”
“If you want to know, it’s because I am amazing.”
Kōenji spoke with overwhelming boldness, as if declaring that this was
the final say on the matter.
Sudō faltered in the face of his complete lack of hesitation.
“When it comes to the written exams, I’m always at the top of the class,
no, of the entire school year. In fact, I placed second only by a slim margin
on the end-of-year exam. Of course, had I put in any serious amount of effort,
I would’ve easily taken first. Furthermore, in terms of physical
ability, I even surpass you as well. You yourself should know this fact
very well, don’t you?”
Kōenji flaunted the height of his potential.
“S-so what! That’s all meaningless if you don’t take things seriously!”
“Sure. That’s why from now on, I’ll turn over a new leaf. With this exam
as the turning point, I’ll become a useful student who contributes to all sorts

of exams moving forward. This would be a great advantage for the class,
no?”
“Wh-who would ever believe something like that!? I’m way more useful
than you are!”
Sudō’s clamoring was also reasonable.
Nobody in the classroom, including myself, had any reason to believe in
Kōenji’s words.
In fact, I didn’t think this man would take things seriously after this exam
at all.
Rather, there was no real reason for him to actually change in the first
place.
It was clear that, as long as he manages to get through this exam, he
would just go back to living a self-indulgent life.
“Well then, allow me to reverse the question. This talk of you being more
useful than I, is that something that everyone here can believe?”
Kōenji ignored Sudō, and instead began to address his classmates.
“No, not just Red Hair-kun. When it comes to students who haven’t
helped at all yet, there’s no guarantee that they’ll suddenly become helpful in
the future, is there? Anyone can list off empty promises, like I just have, but
what really matters in the end is hidden strength. Without strength backing
them up, empty promises lack persuasiveness altogether.”
The idea that students without ability had to strive to turn over a new leaf.
The idea that students with ability should strive to turn over a new leaf.
Kōenji was saying that these two ideas were similar, but not the same.
The whole concept of amassing censure votes and ending up as the lowest
rank in the class, Kōenji wasn’t questioning anything like that at all. On the
contrary, he seemed to be welcoming the supplementary exam itself.
However, this didn’t mean that Kōenji wasn’t facing any risk at all.
Depending on the actions that the class took moving forward, he was at
risk of gathering a substantial number of censure votes.
For better or worse, he had said too much.
Although, if I had to be honest, I agreed with Kōenji’s idea.
If we were to think about the class as a whole, it was necessary to make a
clear decision.
An opportunity had come for us to carefully select an unnecessary student
and get rid of them for the sake of the class as a whole, instead of simply

choosing based on our personal preferences.
In the case of the previous special exams, there were probably many cases
where a student who had great strengths would’ve been expelled because of a
couple of weaknesses. Put simply, this was the case with Sudō, who was
arguing with Kōenji. In contrast to the physical abilities he had been blessed
with, his academic abilities were in the running for the worst in the class. In
fact, his academic abilities almost held him back so much that, at one point,
he was on the verge of dropping out of school. However, with the help of
Horikita, Sudō gradually began to make up for his shortcomings, and as a
result, started to show his value as a member of the class.
Like Sudō, most people have both strengths and weaknesses.
On the other hand, there’s no shortage of people who not only lack
strengths, but are littered with weaknesses and stand out in a bad way
because of them. Everyone has the potential to grow as a human being, but
everyone blossoms at different times, and some are simply limited by their
capacity for growth. That was exactly why we had to take advantage of this
exam.
Unfortunately, it seems that Kōenji was the only person in the class who
was aware of this.
“Stop nagging me Kōenji. I don’t think we need someone like you, and
that’s not gonna change.”
“No matter how incompetent your close friends are?”
“Incompetent… you’re calling my buddies incompetent? You’re full of
shit!”
Sudō slammed his fist down on Kōenji’s desk and glared at him fiercely.
“Precisely. In any event, is that all? If this is your decision, do feel free to
do as you please, but by then… as far as I can tell, this class will simply
remain pathetic and inferior.”
Kōenji calmly combed back his hair, without showing a hint of interest.
His repeated provocations had set Sudō aflame.
“You half-heartedly-”
“Both of you relax. We should talk this out calmly, right?”
Hirata forced his way in between the two of them.
How many times had Hirata gone in and mediated like this?
It was a scene that I had already gotten used to seeing, but Sudō was just
getting more and more heated and showed no signs of cooling down.

“What do you mean relax, Hirata? Course you’re going to be fine. After
all, there’s no way you’d ever end up in last place.”
“Hey-”
Ike’s words poked Hirata in a sore spot.
It was true that Hirata had greatly contributed to the class over the past
year. Generally speaking, it was no exaggeration to say that he was one of the
safest students in this exam. In this exam where someone would inevitably be
expelled, the words of a student who was effectively safe from danger
wouldn’t be able to resonate with others.
“I… It’s not clear what’s going to happen to me.”
Even though he denied it, his words still weren’t able to get through to
Sudō.
“You hear that, Kanji? Hirata just said he doesn’t know what’ll happen to
him.”
“No no, Hirata-sama is definitely safe.”
Yamauchi and Ike exchanged bitter smiles that were filled with more
astonishment than irritation.
This reaction was understandable.
Nobody here had ever considered Hirata to be a potential candidate for
expulsion.
Even if he gathered a few censure votes, he was sure to get more than
enough praise votes to cancel those out.
“!…”
Hirata attempted to say something several times, but the words wouldn’t
come out.
The special exam had still only just been announced.
Given the restless state of the classroom, they wouldn’t be able to calmly
accept anything Hirata had to say.
“Let’s keep talking Kōenji.”
“I have nothing more to say to you.”
“There’s more than enough to talk about.”
Sudō pressed the matter further. At this point, the only one who’d be able
to stop him would be…
“That’s enough Sudō-kun.”
Horikita spoke up, the final word for the discussion.
“Don’t get so carried away just because your grades have improved a little

bit.”
“No, this time, it’s not like that…”
“Zip it.”
“…Got it.”
She had complete control over Sudō with just a handful of words.
Horikita instructed Sudō to return to his seat and keep his distance from
Kōenji.
“Horikita-san, you’ve been a great help.”
“It’s no big deal compared to the trouble caused by this exam.”
Saying that, Horikita also distanced herself from Kōenji and returned to
her seat.
I spoke up as she approached.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“That took a lot of extra effort.”
She let out a sigh and sat down.
“But… things have really become troublesome. Despite all the instability
and collusion, the class had always been able to cooperate. And yet, they
come along and force us to kick someone out… it’s far too cruel.”
Horikita lamented, unable to do anything about the chaos that enveloped
the room.
“Cruel, huh.”
Of course, I understood that she was just looking to complain.
“You don’t think so?”
“There was never any guarantee from the start, ever since we first
enrolled.”
“…Yeah. It was really just an afterthought. But even so, I still think that
this exam is outrageous.”
“Well, it seems like revenge for the fact that nobody’s been expelled yet.”
It would be reasonable to feel dissatisfied like Horikita.
However, I couldn’t afford to be a mere bystander during this particular
exam.
The whole class had to bear the risk of expulsion. No, as a student toward
the bottom of the social hierarchy, I’m afraid that I would be in even more
danger of accruing censure votes if I didn’t get involved in this exam.
To avoid that, it would probably be best to lay out the groundwork ahead
of time.

“I honestly can’t come to terms with this exam, but…”
Despite Horikita’s grumbling, I could sense something like fierce
determination in her expression.
Afterward, the restless atmosphere persisted throughout the classroom
until the end of the morning classes.

Chapter 2 Part 1
During the lunch break, the Ayanokouji group had a meeting in the
cafeteria while having lunch.
"Oh no, this is a very bad development! Must force someone to get out of
school. What is the school thinking?"
By holding a straw, Haruka sighed deeply.
The first to respond to this is Keisei.
"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."
"That's right. Until now, regardless of any exams in the past, other classes
have always been our opponents."
Keisei also nodded and confirmed it.
"Because someone doesn't leave school ... It seems like that's the
problem."
Today, students' hearts become restless and unable to calm down.
The 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.
"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?"
"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. "
Keisei tried to find a solution, but he could not find a way to solve the
problem. This is also impossible.
No matter how you look at it, the escape route has been blocked.
"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."

"... ... the school is really waiting for someone to leave school ... ..."
Haruka's expression, which still had a glimmer of hope, had become
gloomy.
"So for this additional test, it's best not to look too optimistic, because
there will be very cruel results waiting for us."
Cruel results, that is, there will be someone who dropped out of school in
class.
The inevitable future is waiting.
"... On weekends, there might be people among this group that will
disappear."
Airi who didn't speak from the start seemed a little nervous. He shook his
head gently.
He did not want to imagine such a future, this kind of thinking arose from
his attitude.
"Besides welcoming the exam, is there anything you can do? Keisei."
Hoping that it will eliminate anxiety, Akito asked a question.
To adjust it, at the same time Keisei nodded to the group.
"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?"
"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."
Even if only five people work together in this group, each member can get
3 votes of praise.
The important thing is you can cancel three voices of criticism.
"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 ..."
Serious Airi seems a little nervous.
"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. "
"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?"

"That's all. In short, the more you hang out in class, the easier the exam
will be."
That's right, this is one of the focuses of this additional test.
The 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.
"I also agree with each other in the group. After all, I don't want to see
anyone dropping out of school."
I offered to go too
"Me, me too--"
After that, Airi also agreed.
"It was decided."
All group members agreed, and we nodded.
"No, wait, there's something I want to ask you for a moment."
Even though Akito agreed with Keisei's strategy, he seemed to be worried
about something.
"Isn't it true that someone will form a larger group than us?"
"Of course that's true. The possibility is very big."
Keisei nodded, she must understand this.
If 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.
"So, do we have to take the first step to greet other people?"
"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."
"In short, to avoid being targeted by others, try not to do striking things?"
If you're in a hurry to attract attention, it's easy to treat like Sudou and
Koenji.
"In addition, our group is clearly not suitable for this strategy."
"Well - this is the problem."
Keisei considered that making a large group with his own hands should be
avoided.
I'm grateful that everyone agrees with that and Haruka also agrees.
In this case, I can think that they will not be involved in the 'strategy' and
fall into an unfavorable situation in the test.
"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."

Even if you choose in small groups, you only need to choose one person
out of three votes.
It would be better if you could get along with other groups and avoid
criticism.
"But, isn't that too difficult? We initially gathered because we couldn't get
along with other people."
That's because we have difficulty integrating into other groups, so we
formed this group. He seems to be serious.
Well, Keisei also said this based on an understanding of this.
If you are invited, you must accept it, Keisei made such a suggestion.
Although this is also the correct answer, it is also a fact that there are
several risks.
If you increase the group you follow in a hurry, and you will be seen as a
cunning person, you might suffer.
But I can't find a group that allows us to join.
"There are three votes, right? Because I can't be useful in class ... so,
maybe everyone will choose criticism ..."
Airi was worried that she would be the target.
If 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 ...
No, 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.
"You shouldn't worry too much, Airi. You don't have to do it now."
"Oh, um ..."
Still no use worrying, and Airi made her face darker.
Indeed, a weak character has a negative impact on many places in this
additional test.
"That's really the worst case ...... Friends must be hostile to each other,
and get warnings from each other."
"Yes. Ah, but because it's a test, that's all we can do."
"How are you feeling Kiyopon?"
"I don't think there is a choice but to accept it even if you don't want to do
it."

Being mature, and Haruka who seemed to nod a little.
"Hey, I found something, look there,"
Haruka pointed behind me and Keisei.
Looking back, there was a man from class D in the field of vision.
He obviously shouldn't be in his place around and look very striking. So
Haruka will definitely pay attention to it.
"I always feel that Ryuuen-kun's situation looks different from before."
"He's like a king who looks so good. Now I'm stunned. Seeing his
situation."
Maybe Keisei hates people like Ryuuen. His tone was strong.
According to his attitude and strategy towards other classes so far, this is a
natural thing.
Of course, Ryuuen should not feel sorry and also not depressed about this
situation.
"But, this test is very difficult for Ryuuen-kun, right?"
Keisei nodded when facing Haruka's question.
"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."
Akito also agreed with that opinion.
"Maybe he will be ignored by the class even though he has been trying all
the time. This kind of thing will feel futile."
"But, isn't he so calm? He reads the book alone ... If it's me, maybe it's
already crying ..."
With curiosity, Wateri and Haruka saw it.
"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?"
I don't think his thoughts are wrong.
However, if he did nothing, actually, there was a big chance that Ryuuen
would leave school.
"Miyachi, please ask Ryuuen-kun? What's his mood like now?"
"He is difficult to ask ... ..."
Even though it looked calm, there was no change from its hidden aura.
If you hurry to ask, we don't know what kind of counterattack will be
suffered.

"Stop looking at him."
"Okay, Miyatchi."
Akito reminded, then Haruka gently raised his hand and answered.
"Back to the class C topic, about what Koenji said, how did you see it?"
Akito asked Keisei.
Maybe Keisei had considered this problem, so he immediately answered
it.
"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."
Indeed, in Keisei's view, which is reluctant to take risks, Koenji's
existence cannot be estimated by calculation.
"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?"
"Well, that should be fine, if someone has to write his name, you can do it
without hesitation when writing."
"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."
While Airi is worried, she tries to say that and defends Koenji.
"Every time we hold a test presentation, I think Keisei-kun and Koenji-
kun are amazing ... ..."
"Even if it's not good, Airi ... If you don't decide at a certain time, you will
only suffer?"
"Yes, but ..."
Even so, Airi has strong resistance to bring down others.
"In my opinion, maybe I can choose Kouenji-kun."
"I don't mind either."
Do they agree with the policy? Haruka asked Keisei for advice.
"For now, let's do this. After all, you have to choose three people and
make adjustments to the situation."
The Ayanokouji group temporarily included Koenji as a candidate for the
vote of criticism.
Regarding whether it is necessary to kick Koenji, of course there are
various opinions.

Even from my point of view, a man named Koenji is at great risk.
It depends on Koenji's actions, there might be a huge negative impact.
However, 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.
"I don't hate it ... but it's hard to say good or bad, Koenji."
The reason why Akito gave a criticism of him was like that.
It seems that his existence cannot be measured, but in rumors, he is too
excessive.
"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?"
"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.
"
"We're not even in a safe area."
Yes, the test has begun. This is a battle to make friends and build common
enemies.
"After hearing this conversation. I can't imagine that all class members are
still friends until this morning."
Akito imagined the future and took a deep breath.
Haruka looked back at Ryuuen.
"Fortunately, there are more than one candidate to be issued. It's better to
avoid dropping out of school than not."
It 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.
If targeted by the majority, there is nothing that can be done.
"What are you doing if ... Miyatchi or Yukimu are in Ryuuen-kun's
position?"
"What can I do? There's no point in fighting with the whole class. You
won't be able to fight them."
Akito immediately gave up.
Keisei seriously thought about this problem, but he shook his head after

bebewhat a moment.
"Impossible."
"Isn't it possible, for example, what about threatening the whole class?"
"That will only be counterproductive."
It's better to say that some students might expect this to happen.
Those who are threatened without hesitation, will be able to criticize
Ryuuen.
"Will he appeal to another class to get a voice of praise?"
"If Ryuuen-kun asks you, will you give him a sound of praise?"
"Oh, I want to know? I shouldn't choose."
That's all, Keisei nodded saying that.
"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."
"Well, why doesn't he give bribes and buy votes from classmates?"
"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. "
"But, isn't there a chance to get a vote of praise from other classes?"
"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."
"Ah -... maybe that's right. I don't know what he will do to us. It feels
terrible."
This 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.
There 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.
Even 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.
And before that, anyone who wants to exchange contracts with Ryuuen is
also a problem.
"Yes, will it disappear completely?"
"He put all his strength into a calm gaze. After all, it's too bad to fight
because he doesn't want to get out of school."
"Really ... it doesn't look like someone who was once a king."
Despite feeling sorry, Ryuuen's release was a predetermined problem.
Of course, if he himself is still trying to fight, the situation will be a little
different ...
But no matter how we discuss it here, we cannot get an answer to that
question.
What exactly is he thinking, only he himself knows.
"So, how about trying?"
Someone came to talk to us, and the other party's voice was very close to
my ear. That's Horikita.
He carried a plastic bag in his hand, from where we could see sandwiches
for lunch.
"What do you mean trying?"
Akito who was worried about his words said so.
No, I have to say that he felt something disturbing.
"There is no choice but to ask her what Ryuuen-kun is thinking now."
"Stop, the snake will come out of the bush."
Nobody wants to approach Ryuuen.
"No problem. "
"Even if I'm stuck here with Ryuuen, that doesn't make sense. He has
nothing to do with this additional test."
"Yes. That doesn't really matter to us. But that might be useful for my
responsibility."
Horikita said that, then paused for a moment.
Seeing me not moving, he did not take long to step on his own.
"Will it be useful ..."
Keisei and Akito could not understand this and tilted their heads because
of something difficult to understand.

"Hey, isn't that a little bad? Isn't Horikita-san, in danger?"
"I also think so ... Kiyotaka!"
"... ... That's right, I will go to see."
Even though I don't think there is a problem, it's better to have someone to
live with.
Every time we talk about Horikita, no matter how good or bad it is, he
will say it frankly.
I stopped Akito who would wake up and pursue Horikita from behind.
"What will you say to Ryuuen?"
"I think he might be able to provide useful inspiration for me."
Useful inspiration? I can see what Horikita expected from Ryuuen.
But because he took action, it must have meaning.
"Are you asked by Sakura-san to see my situation?"
"Exactly."
"Oh, I see."
Even though we gave each other brief questions like this, Horikita's steps
did not change.
And soon we will arrive in front of Ryuuen.
Even 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.

"You're really calm, Ryuuen-kun."
"Who do I think it is. It turns out that you are Suzune, and the carp poop is
with you too?"
Ryuuen put down the book. Seeing the stamp of the book I realized that it
was a book borrowed from the library.
Needless to say, goldfish droppings refer to me. Even though he looked
briefly, he did not open his eyes at once and turned to Horikita.
"What are you looking for?"
Why does he want to contact Ryuuen even if he gets a risk?
"I will ask directly. What will you do with this additional test?"
"Nothing can be done, I won't do anything."
"I mean ... have you done a good job getting out of school?"
If he doesn't care about the current situation, then there's no need to say
anything, Ryuuen will definitely come out.
"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."
Maybe because the contents of the conversation were not worth
mentioning, Ryuuen reopened the book and read it.
"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."
Apparently, Ryuuen seriously considered leaving school.
"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. "
He tells the truth.
Saying that at the moment is a strong blow to those who understand this
fact.
However, this did not cause damage to Ryuuen.
He understood everything himself and then he really accepted everything.
"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."
He emphasized his contribution not in the negative direction, but in a
positive direction.
"Your evaluation of you is quite high, Ryuuen-kun. But because of your
lack of ability as a leader, you fall to Class D?"
"Kukuku, that's true."
Class D stands out from the Ryuuen dictatorship.
Now that this system has collapsed and their class has fallen to the last
place, they have lost the chance to get back up.
However, 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.
Even though Class A was in the most advantageous position, it had no
value in Ryuuen himself.
Ryuuen'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.
"No matter how far I go, I won't understand you."
"Yes, are you satisfied?"
Even though I heard that Horikita said many things, I still didn't
understand what she wanted to know ...
"Because today's conversation with you might be the last, can you tell me
something?"
It seems that after this is the point.
For Horikita, what talk might be a useful inspiration?
"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?"
He looked at Ryuuen with a sharp look, as if to say, 'Look at my eyes,
then answer me.'
This is the reason why Horikita spoke with Ryuuen, who did not want to
be involved.
He wanted to ask Ryuuen, whether he could break through the 99%
situation which was difficult to overcome the non-actionable exams from
school.

"A stupid question, it's easy, right?"
Ryuuen immediately gave an answer. As long as he still wants to stay, he
has this belief.
There was no doubt in his eyes when he saw Horikita.
"Even if it's just a bluff, it's still yourself. I can't feel anything other than
your trust. "
"Are you satisfied? Or do you want me to tell you the secret about a
strategy for survival?"
"There is no need for this. I am different from your position."
"Right. "
"Thank you. Looks like I understand a little more."
"Are you sure you understand?"
Horikita nodded.
"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."
Ryuuen laughed, and did not answer.
"The results of your struggle may be because you are excluded by class."
"If it really becomes like that, then that means my strength only gets
there."
"Hearing this snapping, I feel in vain."
"...! ..."
Even though Horikita calmly spoke to Ryuuen, but Ryuuen peered into
his calmness.
No, I have to say that he pushed his hand instead of seeing it.
"You should plan to gain trust from me ... but you only gain trust and
awareness on the surface."
Ryuuen's words made Horikita worried.
"It's very difficult to decide who to spend."
"... I can do it ... I'm not interested in students dragging their feet from the
start."
"You won't be able to do it."
"For you ... what do you know?"
"Before, there was enough time to observe, to know your background and
your attitude was obscured by the words you said."

By negotiating words, Horikita has no chance of winning.
In the middle of the sentence when 'he will decide a bit of his mind'.
There was a little silence until Horikita said 'I can do it'.
Ryuuen immediately noticed what other people couldn't pay attention to.
Horikita's low awareness is not as usual.
The rhythm is entirely on Ryuuen's side.
"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. "
A person who does not form friendships makes sense to the class after
forming this relationship.
Of 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'.
"Even though you say extraordinary things, you still have no way to get
out of trouble."
"Why do you think that?" Ryuuen answered.
"Are you defeated by your classmates or defeated by someone from
outside the class ..."
Horikita turned her gaze towards me for a moment, but immediately
switched.
"After all, will you shut up and get out of school as a loser?"
Horikita deliberately throws words to provoke.
However, Ryuuen calmly accepted it.
"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."
Ryuuen said with a smile, then looked at the book again.
"... 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."
Because Horikita left Ryuuen, so I followed her. Ryuuen still looks at the
book and doesn't see us anymore.
Horikita, who started walking, looked annoyed and angry.

"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."
"It's hard to say. He might have a way to break through difficulties."
"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. "
"Yes, if you do it the usual way you can't."
"It's futile trying to threaten or use personal points. Do you want to talk
about that?"
Of course. I listen carefully.
"Or, did you see what could make Ryuuen-kun not drop out of school?"
"No, not at all. "
I play using an abacus in my head, but I still don't have a strategy to
survive the current situation.
The parts needed to survive here do not exist.
"Then that's true."
Horikita left the cafe in annoyance.
I look back to Ryuuen once more.
If I confront Ryuuen before ...
"No, it doesn't make sense to think about it now."
There is no point in thinking about students who will leave school.
I stopped thinking about it and returned to the group.

Chapter 2 Part 2
That night, Kei called me.

Most of them are additional exam questions.
"Say, what should I do for this additional test?"
"Have you started forming groups around you?"
"Well, there are several. There are 7 girls in my group."
Kei calls them including himself.
Some of them have good relations with Kei.
"Of course, everyone is afraid to come out. To be honest, me too ... I don't
know how many people hate me."
"It's not surprising that you receive a number of criticisms."
"Even though I told you, but you should lie at the moment, and say 'no'."
On the side of the phone, Kei seemed to be a little angry at me.
"Now you have to try not to make yourself too conspicuous and
suspicious. Honest is the best policy. Too obvious, it is likely to be a
candidate to be issued."
"I understand, I will find a way to not offend others."
"It's okay. But in this case, breaking up with Hirata might have been a
positive thing for you."
"What?"
"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."
"Wow, this is terrible. But it's really possible ..."
Because of anonymous voting, one can take bold action.
"... You will be fine, because your presence is very thin, your grades are
also average."
From the point of view of many of my classmates, I have no use being
praised or criticized.
"Sometimes it's good not to stand out."

"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."
"Maybe. "
Because it is necessary to write the names of three people, no matter who
they are, they will receive several voices of criticism.
"Now the situation in the classroom is really ridiculous, the stupid trio and
Kouenji-kun are very bad?"
It seems that Kei's group also has the same thoughts.
"Even though they are the worst, but that is still unknown. Now, Koenji is
not very lucky."
"After all, he's not the type to form groups to adjust the sound."
"Yes."
What is clear is that Ike, Yamauchi and Sudou will form groups to support
each other.
On the other hand, Koenji is a loner and without support. A bullish
attitude - it's also easy to make enemies.
On 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.
"What will you do, who will you criticize?"
"Even though I haven't considered it, but I will choose people who are not
needed for the class."
"How cold are you, Kiyotaka."
Because someone will definitely drop out of school, it can only be
assessed like this.
"Ah, really ... aren't you referring to me?"
"It's impossible. You're very important in class."
"Of course, that's certain, right?"
His reaction seemed a little embarrassed and surprised.
"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."
"OK."
I ended the call from Kei.
Even though I say that I want to eliminate those who are not needed in the
future, this is just my personal thoughts.
Because I didn't actively deal with the class, I didn't mean to interfere in

manipulating the vote.
In the end, how many groups are formed and what results are made. I
intend to accept it honestly.
Of course, if the spark falls on me, that is another matter.
In short, the possibility of dropping out of school for Ike, Yamauchi and
Sudou is not low. Then there is also Koenji.
If you see girls, Inogashira, Satou and Airi, who have poor learning
abilities, are not in a safe range.
However, 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.
"How will this develop next?"
I will gather information and prepare for unexpected events, and then pay
attention to voting trends.

Chapter 3: The Difficulty to Save
After waking up in the morning, I checked my cellphone.

When I fell asleep, the conversation of Ayanokouji's group had taken a
big step forward.
Because additional examinations were announced yesterday, it is not
difficult to understand that they are discussing this topic.
[I feel filled with anxiety.]
In particular, Airi's attitude that was worried about this problem could be
easily seen from the chat log.
If 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.
Even 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.
No matter what method is used, one must bear a certain level of risk.
After replying to the chat, I discovered that Keisei had made an interesting
proposal. I saw the beginning of the proposal.
[Some people in the group will go to school to gather information early in
three days, starting tomorrow?]
[We are a small group, and this idea is very good. I agree with Keisei's
idea.]
[That's a good thing, after all, I'm very concerned about what topics will
appear.]
[I agree.]
[Tomorrow I will leave early, and tell you. ]
We 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.

[I understand.]
I thought the information did not come just like that, but it was better than
doing nothing.
As a battle, this action is easy and its development is worth looking
forward to.
Because this interaction happened at night, maybe now Haruka was
already in the classroom.
From this situation, other people will learn early, and I don't need to do
anything.
We 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.
On 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.
It is important to store information at an early stage.

Chapter 3 Part 1
Even so, I got used to it when I was here.

I have lived in this hostel for a year.
"I don't feel the time travel is the same as before."
The feeling will be different depending on whether it feels good or not.
To be honest, when I study this theory, I don't really understand what that
means.
For me, every second before entering this high school is the same.
But now it's different.
Obviously, the speed of life now matches the pace of life in recent years.
There are still two more years to graduate.
When thinking about this, it's really strange to feel that the graduation day
will come in the blink of an eye.

"Good morning Ayanokouji-kun."
"Oh, good morning Ichinose"
In 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.
However, I don't know why, but right now Ichinose looks a little stiff.
"Hmm?"
He did not approach me, but he was trapped in the same place while
maintaining his greetings.
"Is there something?"
After I said this, Ichinose approached with a stiff motion, as if he had
escaped from a movement-limiting spell.
"Well, um, it's cold today, right—?"
"Yes."
Every time I spoke, a white breath came out.
"Are you planning to go to school with someone?"
"No, not at all. Basically I'm alone in the morning."
"Well then ... Can you go together?"
No matter whether it is male or female, no one will refuse to be asked by
Ichinose.
I nodded and agreed.
"............"
"............"
When 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.
So I decided to try to talk about this additional test topic.
"Isn't this exam very difficult for class B?"
Compared to other classes, Class B has outstanding cooperation and good
relationships between classmates.
It is very painful to have to decide which students to take out of them.
"Ah ~ ... um, yeah, I think this is the most difficult test so far."

"I think so too."
Ichinose's expression looked gloomy on his face.
Ichinose, who is the central figure of the class, really is in a safe zone.
Like Hirata and Kushida, they are students who can be assured of
graduation in this exam.
That's why having to decide someone's exit is painful.
It's enough just to see, appreciate criticism and ignore it all, so that it will
make it more comfortable.
Even though someone can even adopt such a strategy, but Ichinose ...
"Even if the exam is troublesome, don't you have to do something?"
"Yes, I guess."
"... Yes ... I have no choice but to do something."
After saying that, Ichinose walked beside me.
He smiled a little.
"No way ... Do you want to get out of school, Ichinose?"
"Eh, didn't I say something about that?"
Although he seemed to deny this, it could be seen from his eyes.
The attitude that he shows makes people feel that 'he is willing to put
himself as a choice.'
"I'll say a few things, your classmates won't easily write your name."
"Even though I'm not saying that I have to get out of school, it seems that
in Ayanokouji-kun's eyes, this might happen."
"It looks on your face. You also show that expression."
"Is that so?"
Ichinose tried to control himself in a hurry.
Is it natural or intentional?
This is like the first time.
"Ha ... I want to keep this a secret from everyone."
"Will you sacrifice yourself for them?"
"I think this is a little different. I have to fight the risk myself."
Is this a battle where he has to accept the risks himself?
That means he doesn't plan to take easy choices to solve it.
"I don't know very well. At least, I'm not going to convey words to other
students, if I intend to leave school?"
Even though it is better than telling someone else in advance, it should not
be expected to be revealed.

I can't imagine a student going out of school smiling.
"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."
"I think so. "
If there is anything we can do, it is only related to the discussion about the
sound of praise.
If Ichinose can get a voice from another class, he can handle the exam.
However, 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.
Even if he can get a voice, it can only be used as luck, and it's not of much
use.
"Even in this case, the school side 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."
In the end, before the class increases, someone will drop out of school. No
one welcomes this kind of test.
"Ayanokouji-kun, are you going to be alright?"
"It's hard to say ... I'm not a student needed in class."
"If you don't mind, I might be able to help you."
"You mean?"
"The sound of praise for the other classes I have, I can place it in
Ayanokouji-kun."
He raised the topic of the unexpected vote of praise.
"Even though it's only one vote, it might be useful ... ..."
"I feel grateful for the offer, but it's not necessary. I'm not someone who
deserves that vote."
"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."
What he said made me difficult to respond.
"I understand. Then, if there is a problem, I might ask you a question."
"Yes, I will remember it."
Saying that, Ichinose laughed.
"Good morning Honami."

A voice like that was heard behind us.
"Good morning, Asahina-senpai."
"You're very excited today. By the way you two are different in class,
right? It seems you have a good relationship?"
"Eh, yes, we are good friends ..."
Ichinose answers a little embarrassed.
"Oh ~? Friend yeah ~"
If he says something normally, it won't cause a misunderstanding.
"Oh, forget it. Can I borrow Ayanokouji-kun?"
When Asahina approached me, I wanted her to let Ichinose leave first.
"I understand. Ayanokouji-kun, I'll go first."
Without the slightest resentment, Ichinose lowered his head and followed
his senpai's request.
"Sorry Honami, see you again."
"No, there's no need to apologize. I'll go first."
There was nothing strange in the conversation between the two.
It is more appropriate to describe that the relationship between senpai and
kohai was well built.
"He's a good kid. Funny and smart. Nobody in the second class said
anything bad about Honami."
"Yes, even in class one he is popular among men and women."
"Did you take his heart?"
It seems that he judged Ichinose's attitude to be difficult to understand.
"Nothing like that."
For now, regardless of any class, I have to shorten the time I spend with
Asahina as much as possible.
If 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.
"If there is something for me, I will listen."
"That's all, really boring. Because I saw you and Honami was busy
talking, so I have something you want to listen to."
Asahina who looked happy until just a moment ago, now that smile
disappeared.
"I heard about first-class supplementary exams. Letting someone force
their withdrawal from school?"
"That is how it is. "

It seems that it is also a topic among second grade students.
"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?"
"Yes. I thought that even though he didn't say it, he was very worried
about the Class B's future."
Even though he said it in the usual way, he gave clear thoughts.
"Okay, what do you think he is fighting this test?"
While Asahina looked into my eyes. He looks more than just curious.
At this time, it might be just counterproductive to put forward some
opinions.
"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."
"Yes, the answer is correct ... well, that's the only way."
If this is the reason for canceling school dropouts, anyone can reach this
conclusion.
But no one can do it.
It's very difficult to think of ways to get 20 million personal points.
"He seems to be asking for help from us. Then you can guess how I
answer?"
"Do you answer right away?"
"... the right answer."
From the point of view of this development, there is no other possibility.
"I listened to it first, but can't you easily lend personal points?"
Even if class B has a large number of personal points, it still has the
disadvantage of covering it up.
"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. "
Asahina answered without hesitation.
"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. "
I think so.

Because of that, Chabashira-sensei made such words - if someone could
do it, everyone could do it.
Even 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.
"If there is someone who can meet expectations, he is the student council
president Nagumo."
"Yes, after all, he keeps a lot of personal points."
"Then?"
From the developments so far, the results are clear.
However, from the doubts that appeared slowly, I was worried that was
conditional.
"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?"
"Yes. That is to prevent anyone from dropping out of school, and then
formulate this strategy."
"So, I don't personally 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."
"Are there conditions that demand, or are the flowers very large?"
"He, gave Honami personal points with the conditions ... to date him."
"I understand. "
Talk about Nagumo.
Is that demanded by personal loan conditions?
In 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.
"Saying this to me, isn't it a problem?"
"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?"
"Maybe like that. But why did you say this to me? I'm in Class C, and we

compete with each other."
"I don't know. But if it's you, maybe you can do something."
"You're exaggerating me ... I can't cover the deficit in another class."
If I can replace Nagumo to lend personal points, everything will be
different, but it's not easy.
"I think so, after all, you guys are opponents ..."
Too 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.
"I can't do anything."
"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."
Asahina, patted my back hard, before leaving.
"In short, I have already told you. I will tell you again later."
After saying this, Asahina no longer stayed and ran towards the school.
Judging from his tone and attitude, it seems like it's not a lie.
"Is he dealing with Nagumo?"
However, this is not what Ichinose will do, but it is his strategy.
Of 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 depicit. 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.
However, it is very difficult to make an immediate decision when dealing
with the opposite sex.
If it's a problem that I can help, it's fine, but about the matter of personal
points I can't do anything.
I'm worried that he needs four or five million deficiencies. That is outside
the scope that can be helped.
Even though it's more profitable to leave your friend, but what did
Ichinose think about when he placed such conditions?
"From the character ..."
It's not difficult to imagine what will happen in the future.

Chapter 3 Part 2
In this additional test, it is not easy to communicate in class.

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

Chapter 3 Part 3
During lunch, I visited the library.

Even 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.
As 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.
"Hello Ayanokouji-kun."
Some people will only rest for lunch, and it seems like he immediately
realizes my presence.
He also held a similar book in his hand.
"You like books as usual."

"This place is a good place."
Hiyori asked permission from me and sat next to me.
We read calmly.
For students who initially like the library, additional talks are not needed.
The act of reading itself can also be considered a kind of dialogue.
In this way, until the end of the lunch break, we spend all our time
reading.
About thirty minutes or more.
"It's almost time to go back now."
"Yes."
After raising his head to confirm the time, we both left the library.
"By the way, Hiyori, there's something I want to ask."
"What is that?"
He did not know what I was going to ask, and looked at me curiously.
"I want to know Ryuuen's situation."
"Ryuuen-kun's situation, yeah ... To be honest, it's not too good."

"Did he become the first candidate to drop out of school?"
"Yes. Almost everyone in the class has decided to choose Ryuuen-kun."
"Did Ryuuen himself accept it?"
"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."
When I saw him in a cafe before, he brought books borrowed from the
library.
I think he is often associated with Hiyori. That's why I came here to
confirm it.
"What do you think of him, Hiyori?"
"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. ... "
He has several opinions about Ryuuen and acknowledges his abilities.
If I think about it, it seems like Ryuuen didn't treat Hiyori in a careless
way.
"Sorry, I asked this question. Somehow the status of class D ─ ─ ─ ─ ─"
I stopped here when I said this.
"No - I might not want Ryuuen-kun to leave school."
I shouldn't have come here today.
But, after all I wanted to know Ryuuen's situation, that's why I came.
"A friend is better than someone else."
"... Yes."
Feel a little weird. Remembering Ryuuen is my enemy.
"That ... ..."
"What?"
"Maybe I shouldn't say it like this ..."
Even though it seemed difficult to say something, Hiyori continued.
"Please, Ayanokouji-kun, don't leave school ... ... I don't want to lose my
dear friend again."
"I will try well."
I thanked Hiyori's attention and we returned to our respective classrooms.

Chapter 3 Part 4
The heavy atmosphere in the class did not change until after school.
I don't know whether Horikita didn't pay attention to this atmosphere, she
calmly prepared to return as usual.
It'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.
Even if he uses reason for supervision, only Sudou will vote for praise.
Say that ...
I recalled the way Horikita talked to Ryuuen yesterday.
If he thought about what Ryuuen wanted and what he lacked, he could see
his strategy.
It seems that he wants to overcome this additional test in a different way
from the others.
But that is not a simple way.
However, 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.
I turned my gaze to my classmate.
Imagine what Horikita thought about these students in her eyes.
"It's very rare, you don't ask for advice from me. Are you ready to take the
exam?"
Until yesterday, I intended to confirm whether there was a change to
Horikita.
"Even if I ask for advice, you won't answer it honestly."
"Maybe."
It seems that Horikita gradually began to understand, 'I won't give advice
easily'.
"This is not a test that can be easily asked for classmates' help."
"But, many other students are obsessed with forming groups to gather

praise."
"Those who do that only do what they want."
Horikita arranged her books and stood up from the chair.
"Then what will you do?"
"I will do what I can."
Horikita left this sentence and left the classroom.
I was a little worried and chased after Horikita.
"What?"
It seemed unpleasant to me to chase him from behind, and he frowned at
me.
"I'm a little curious about what you planned."
"You usually don't want to be involved with me. Why did you do it this
time?"
Why ?
That's because I'm curious about the strategy that Horikita will do.
If that can be achieved, I think I'll support everything.
But I didn't say it right here.
"You don't join groups. If there is a problem, I can help you."
"I see. Do you mean to worry about my situation? If I say please help me,
then, will you let me join your group?"
"For us, increasing the number of people is not a problem."
"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."
He meant he had decided on his own idea.
However, the material is hard to come by, pushing it to anxiety.
I'm not suitable to fill the lack of 'responsibility'.
"You are really ... ..."
He looked at me stronger than before.
"What is wrong?"
"In short, don't worry about my business."
He warned me so hard that I nodded and stopped.
Even if I follow Horikita, it will only provoke his anger.
After seeing Horikita move away, I saw a view of the corridor from the
window.
"I have to go too."
"Can I bother you, Ayanokouji-kun."

When I leave, Hirata comes to me, is she from behind?
From the time, maybe he was waiting for me to part from Horikita.
"If you have time, can you come with me for a while after school? I have
something to say."
I rarely received an invitation from Hirata and there was no reason to
refuse.
When I nodded in response, and Hirata let out a sigh of relief.
Hirata who spent one day in a tense atmosphere, seemed very exhausted.
Of course, I can see that the subject of this conversation is related to this
additional test.
"Okay, how about 4:30 at Keyaki mall, can we meet near the south gate?"
"I understand. "
We make an appointment.
It seems like it's not something that can be said here.
After all, students who participated in club activities and returned to the
hostel also passed by here.
Today 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.

Chapter 3 Part 5
Exit the classroom, walk towards the entrance.

On the way I met Sakayanagi Arisu from class A.
There is also the figure of Kamuro beside him.
"Ayanokouji ... ..."
Kamuro who was alert to his body became stiff.
However, Sakayanagi did not change as usual, his movements seemed
relaxed and calm.
Clear contrast between the two is quite interestingn
"It's a coincidence, Ayanokouji-kun or maybe not."
"Yes, is there something that requires you to come to class C?"
I can see that they intentionally came to class C.
However, Sakayanagi did not answer the question directly, and ignored
my question with a smile.
"Where are you going?"
"I plan to meet my friend at Keyaki Mall, 4.30."
"You really enjoyed your high school life. If you can, can you take time
for me?"
Sakayanagi took out his cellphone and saw the time at that moment.
Does he really have to come to see me? No, it's too difficult to imagine.
Time 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.
"Isn't it a problem with telling stories?"
"Yes. But here we are a little striking. Let's find another place to talk?"
"OK."
I don't want to be as flashy as possible.
I don't care if it is with classmates, but because Sakayanagi has a high
profile, the attention of others will be centered.
Because Sakayanagi also understood this, so he proposed to move to a
quieter place.

In connection with the slow pace of walking Sakayanagi, we spent a lot of
time around the school building.
"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. "
"Yes, I feel that Mashima-sensei, who is always calm, is also a bit
shaken."
It seemed that it wasn't just Chabashira-sensei, but the other teachers also
couldn't understand this additional test.
"There is a reason for this."
"What? Do you know something?"
"Although this is a personal matter that is difficult to talk about, but my
father's suspension was decided a few days ago."
"Suspended ... Isn't your father the director of this school?"
Kamuro who knew the information, asked Sakayanagi.
"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. "
On 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.
The impression that I have about Sakayanagi's father is not a
misunderstanding.
"However, this is a story that has nothing to do with students, it's just
chatter."
It seems that for Sakayanagi, the fact that his father was forced to be
suspended from his duties was not something he deserved.
"But what does that have to do with this additional exam?"
"To let someone drop out of school, can you think of this extra test
hurriedly prepared?"
"For whom?"
Kamuro looked at me once. And then he returned his eyes to Sakayanagi
immediately.
"Even though I've tried hard not to care about it so far, but why are you so

curious about Ayanokouji?"
As I walked, I heard Kamuro say it was next to Sakayanagi.
"Oh, haven't you ever cared before?"
"Of course I don't care."
In the face of full denial of Kamuro, Sakayanagi's face seemed to know
everything.
But he did not enter deep into Kamuro's heart.
"Can't you agree with the reason? Just because I've known him for a long
time."
Sakayanagi answered Kamuro who was curious.
Because he hasn't revealed anything so far, it's a pretty open answer.
Kamuro 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.
Yes. Even though I don't really care about that.
"That means you are back at this school again? The possibilities are very
low."
"Yes, the probability is very low, but it's possible, isn't it? Ayanokouji-
kun."
"Maybe like that. "
Even though I had never seen Sakayanagi before, but he was not wrong.
The fact that Sakayanagi knew me unilaterally.
"So, is he a very difficult person to deal with? Sorry, I can't see him at
all."
Because Sakayanagi goes deep into the topic, Kamuro also talks more
about topik.
They do the same way.
"As far as I know, it's very deep. You haven't asked me so far."
Because he is often in contact with Kamuro, he also has many thoughts of
his own.
Sakayanagi may not be able to completely suppress his curiosity.
"Anyone will think about it. Because you never told me until now."
"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."
Sakayanagi's expression seemed a little surprised and looked very happy.

I thought that his attitude was to peek at my reaction, but because
Kamuro's reaction was also very interesting, so a few questions arose.
We have achieved our goals during their conversation.
"If it is here, there will be nothing to disturb when we speak."
It's a special building so after school, it's really quiet.
"Then, Masumi-san, I'm sorry, can you go back to the dormitory first?"
It seems like he just wants to talk to me because of that he let Kamuro go.
"... Ah, really?"
In the end, Sakayanagi tried not to talk to me deeply, but he seemed to
have decided to make Kamuro back first.
Kamuro had long known that it would be like this, he walked down the
stairs without a fight.
"Why ?"
"Well, if I accidentally leak something, won't it be a problem with
Ayanokouji-kun?"
"No problem. "
If I let him see that I have a problem here, it will give him a chance.
I don't need to disclose additional information to Sakayanagi.
"On the one hand, I am known as your enemy, so I will accept it."
No matter what reason I make this kind of response, this is not a question
that should be considered Sakayanagi.
"You don't hesitate to let Kamuro come back and ask me to talk. What do
you want to say?"
Because it takes time to move here, there isn't much time left to talk.
I urge him to go straight to the point.
"It's about the agreement between me and Ayanokouji-kun."
"If this is an agreement between 'me and you who decides to bet on the
next special exam.' Then now is the time. "
"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? "
He meant he told me that on this exam he couldn't prepare a game
scenario.
"Can you accept this request?"
"You may decide for yourself."

Sakayanagi thanked him kindly for my quick decision.
"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."
"Then?"
"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."
He said that and promised me with his commitment.
"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."
"If on this exam I receive a criticism, there will be no fight on the next
test."
After all, I also don't want to drop out of school.
"That's right. In general, just relax, I just want to say this."
His statement so far is too polite, but it can be an action needed to gain
credibility on my part.
"Maybe before you fight with me, the people below you will betray you."
"Oh, please don't joke."
Most of the students in Class A are the Sakayanagi faction.
They will not make a move to 'make their leader disappear.'
"When this additional exam was announced, I had decided who would be
excluded from school."
"Have you decided who you want to get rid of once the assessment has
been made?"
Because he has the power to dominate Class A, he can take this approach.
"So, when will you tell other students?"
"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?"
This is inevitable for students who will drop out of school.
However, Class A did not fall into confusion.
"Do you know who that is?"
"Who knows? There's no clue."
Even though I say This limat, I already have a clue.

"That's Katsuragi-kun."
"Is it right to choose it?"
"He is a former leader of class A who confronted me before, because in an
organization there are no two leaders needed."
Katsuragi is a calm and kind man.
Maybe when he studies the contents of the exam, he should realize that he
will be sacrificed.
It seems that he did not put up any resistance and accepted it well.
Although there are some students who continue to follow him like
Yahiko, but they are outnumbered.
"As someone who contradicts him from the start, I think he already has
the terms to be issued."
In class A, in terms of ability, Katsuragi was ranked top.
I felt that it was very unfortunate to get him out, but apparently he was not
needed by Sakayanagi.
"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."
It seems that it was intended to reduce the class's fighting strength in order
to improve the overall morale of the class.
"Are you just saying, who is the target?"
"Ayanokouji-kun shouldn't do anything in the shadows to protect him."
Doing so might not get the results commensurate with that effort.
"What about class C plans?"
"I don't know. I didn't participate in anything and I intended to leave it to
my classmates."
"So what you say is just to exclude people who are bad and have low
abilities."
Sakayanagi looks very happy to be immersed in his imagination.
"Only class D, who doesn't need to think about it, they will choose
Ryuuen-kun."
Everyone does not object to this.
Especially in class A there is no point in helping Ryuuen.
Even if he wants to end the contract with Katsuragi, he will still come out.
"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. "
"Sorry, it's time for me to leave."
Thinking about that is Sakayanagi's freedom, but I want him to do it when
he is alone.
"Well, for now, the conversation is over, the next special exam will start
next week."
Clonk - the stick rang.
Only for a moment, Sakayanagi's line of sight was directed to the
surveillance camera installed there.
(T / N: there's a reason Sakayanagi looks at surveillance cameras)
If he doesn't look at him, he can't detect his delicate behavior.
Is it a coincidence that the line of sight falls on it, or is it intentional? I
can't make a judgment.
"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."
I nodded slightly and left the special building.

Chapter 3 Part 6
There are not many shops that can be used for meetings after school.
In most cases, they will meet at a cafe in Keyaki Mall, but today is
different.
"Thank you for coming today."
"It's no big deal, I also want to talk to you Hirata."
"I'm very happy to hear you say that. Then, should we go?"
After meeting at the southern gate, Hirata seemed to confirm the situation
around him and started walking.
"Sorry Ayanokouji-kun, can I change the place a little?"
"Why?"
"Can we talk in my room after this? I think if it's there, I feel more calm."
"No matter where we go, I'm fine."
"Thank you. "
Apparently, the shopping center is currently not the right place.
Because he did not want this conversation to be heard by anyone.
On the way to the hostel, we began chatting casually.
"After one full year, first class will be finished. What do you think about
Ayanokouji-kun?"
Hirata exhaled and then looked at the ceiling.
"It's a very tiring year to go to an uninhabited island and participate in a
study group."
"Well, this is really tiring, but I'm also happy. From the beginning of
school until now, I feel that my trusting relationship with classmates has been
well established."
"Yes, I also think like that."
I 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.

"Really ... ... there's no problem until this additional test starts."
Hirata's expression became gloomy.
"Do you want to talk about this topic?"
"Well, sorry, I know very well that Ayanokouji-kun doesn't want to talk
about this topic."
I will not be actively involved with any exam.
Ignore the Horikita character, who always asks for cooperation on each
exam.
Interestingly, this test was completely reversed.
Horikita didn't come to rely on me, but Hirata came to rely on me.
Recently, Horikita may have grown.
He also realized that I would not work together. In this case, he also relied
on me.
"In this additional test, I can't think of a good solution, no matter how
many times I think ..."
"Several times ... …"
When I looked closer, Hirata had dark circles under her eyes.
That's because he thought too much about the exam at night and couldn't
sleep well enough.
"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."
"Hey?"
"No, please don't mind."
If I am not careful in this matter, I will let Hirata fall into the deepest
darkness.
Staying silent now is the best.
"If you have a way to help the class, I hope you can tell me."
Apparently, my reaction made him wrong and thought that I already had
the answer.
"Collecting 20 million personal points, is this not possible?"
"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."
"Can't they give points for help?"
"Yes ... ..."
However, in order not to have victims, the method of rescue that can be

done is very limited.
"Sorry, for this time, I really can't think of anything else. But if I have a
way out, I will definitely tell you Hirata."
"Yes, thank you."
This is the best answer I can make now.
Hirata tried to smile and say thank you.
This additional test is a very difficult but very simple test.
If you change the point of view a little, nothing will be released.
However, it was not seen by Hirata.
This is a test to 'eliminate unnecessary students'.
We can think of goals when hearing this additional test content.
Of course, I don't know 'who will be released', but what matters is not
'myself'.
However, this test is different for people like Hirata.
He cannot decide to choose 'who' will leave school.
He's like being in a maze and can't see the exit.
"Ayanokouji-kun, is it strange to think that I don't want anyone to drop
out of school?"
"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."
"Of course, that's true. But there must be something—"
"Because I really know you Hirata, can you sleep well at night?"
I interrupted the story.
"That ... ..."
When we walked to the dormitory door, we fell silent.
Because we saw several students chatting in the lobby.
But the problem is elsewhere.
Our eyes are fixed to a man sitting on the sofa in the lobby.
"Aren't you Ayanokouji-boy and Hirata-Boy? This is a coincidence."
"Koenji-kun, how are you? Are you waiting for someone to meet?"
As soon as we entered the hostel, he noticed us.
"If I want to meet someone, are you interested in that?"
Koenji returns questions with other questions.
"That might be unusual."
"I don't hate honest people, but unfortunately, I didn't make an
appointment with anyone to meet here."

Even though he answered this question, he did not say what he was doing
here.
Koenji is usually not someone who rests in a place like that.
"Let's go?"
Hirata stood in front of the elevator door and was about to reach the
elevator button.
Then a sentence comes from Koenji behind.
"You must try your best to pass the test using your mind and wisdom."
"Kouenji-kun, it seems like nothing has changed from you as usual."
Hirata asked a little worried about his attitude.
The tip of his finger stopped right before touching the button.
"In this exam there is no need for me to change."
"Is that so?"
Hirata rarely gets hooked.
He turned and looked at Koenji. Of course, he would not make such a
move to look at other people.
Always calm and stable.
"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."
That is a form of concern for Hirata and warned him of several threats.
Those strong words embraced the desire to work with him.
If Koenji is interested in working together, even if only a little, it will
expect it.
"Don't worry. What you have to do is your job as a class center, right?"
However, Koenji still did nothing - he did not intend to change his style.
"Even if I have something you can't do. I can't fulfill your expectations."
"There is no such thing."
For Hirata, who was not confident, Koenji had strong hopes.
Can this be felt by this man?
Koenji rose to his feet, and leaned slightly on Hirata's shoulder.
"When your injured partner licks at each other, make sure to throw out
unnecessary trash."
The moment when Hirata heard Koenji's words, he pressed the elevator
button hard.
"... Ayanokouji-kun, let's go."

"OK."
Hirata's tone of voice, which is usually stable so far, contains a bit of
anger.
There is garbage in his classmates.
As Koenji said, Hirata cannot continue to be frustrated.
When the elevator door was just closed, Hirata spoke again.
"Fuu ... I'm sorry ... I showed something that wasn't supposed to be."
"I don't care, Koenji does have some problems."
Hirata smiled softly and lowered her head down.
"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."
Immediately I arrived at the floor where Hirata's room was, and we
walked out of the elevator.
"Please come in."
"Excuse me ..."
This was the first time I entered Hirata's room. The interior decoration
feels like my room, basically simple, with a little fragrant aroma inside.
Although there are some beautiful scenery, it is a neatly arranged room, a
very simple style.
"Please sit down, do you want to drink coffee?"
"Sorry to bother. "
"No problem, I invited you."
I usually often act as a host to entertain guests, so this situation makes me
feel a little different.
"This is a continuation of some time ago, but ..."
While he prepared coffee for me, he talked to me from behind.
"Is there really no way to save everyone in the class?"
"I don't know, maybe I can't think about it."
I respond in the same way as before.
Knowing that this would be the answer, Hirata accidentally looked for
another solution.
I think this sentence can calm him down, but I don't expect it to be
counterproductive.
"If you can't think about it, I don't think anyone else can do it."
"Your evaluation of me is too high."

I don't know, since when did my evaluation increase in Hirata's eyes?
"Since saving Karuizawa-san, I feel that you contributed the most to the
class."
Hirata spoke when she looked through my mind.
"I hope you can save me."
Hirata gave me hot coffee.
"This is a fact, even though you would politely refuse to admit it."
No matter what I say, it won't work.
Even if I deny it with words, Hirata won't agree now.
It seems better to change the subject a little here. Even though I think In
this way, Hirata seems to know my mind.
"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."
"I also understand your problem, but you have to be able to change your
mood. After all, weekends will get answers."
"Say, Ayanokouji-kun ... ... do you think someone should leave school?"
Hirata looked at me with a peeping look.
It was a pair of eyes that looked like soft eyes, but seemed to contain other
meanings.
"Not. "
Maybe 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.
"No matter who goes, you can only accept it."
"You're very calm. Compared to me, you're more suitable to be a class
leader."
Hirata, who has taken the initiative as a leader to improve the class so far,
but the words that come out contain despair.
I have no special way.
"What should I do? How to deal with this exam?"
It's not easy to send suggestions, but often Hirata helps.
I want to do something to him, but ...
"I don't want you to do what I say without thinking about it, but I will still
say what I think."
"Yes."

"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."
Hirata was upset, but he finally nodded.
"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'?"
"Who should go? Of course everything will be -----"
"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. "
By making such a classification, the lowest students will be seen.
"That, but ..."
Yes, this is a very simple problem.
But Hirata could not do this simple action, and it bound her heart.
He thought that ranking students was stupid.
"Even if I make a ranking, my mind doesn't always match the thinking of
everyone in the class."
He used this reason to continue running away.
If it stays like that, what she's waiting for is an additional test day that
welcomes her without protection.
"No problem, I think you should draw conclusions for yourself."
That's the only suggestion I can say to Hirata, now.
Then, based on what decisions Hirata will take, he will see for himself.
I have to say thank you for the coffee he made.
I feel that the bitter taste is stronger than the coffee I bought.
"Yes, um. Maybe you're right. I feel like running away now. This kind of
thinking fills my heart."
Hirata listened to my advice and tried hard to understand.
This will not work directly. He might want to spit out that thought.
But he is still struggling to urge him to digest that thought.
"Fuhh ... Oh, thank you."
Hirata thanked him for the words.
I will ask for the first time.
"May I ask something a little strange?"
Suddenly I changed the topic of the exam and tried asking what I was

interested in.
"Well? What?"
"After you break up with Karuizawa, has anyone admitted?"
"Unexpected question, I don't think Ayanokouji-kun will ask me
something like that."
Hirata's face was a little surprised and confused.
(T / N: Of course Ayanokouji's question can be a misunderstanding.
Wkwkwkwk)
The 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?
"Even though I can't name the person, someone has indeed confessed to
me."
In other words, there is a girl who has started to confess to Hirata.
Is that person Mii-chan? If he says it, Hirata can't accept it.
But 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.
"Have you started dating that girl?"
"No, I don't plan to be dating anyone now. "
He said it firmly.
"Is there someone you like?"
If he doesn't want to accept anyone other than his life, I can understand it.
"Even with whom I date is not a luxury for me now. I don't have the
qualifications for that."
"If he's with Hirata, it's talking about dreams."
To start a relationship, no qualifications are needed.
"I'm not someone like that."
The better a person is, the simpler.
The fewer abilities a person has, the more arrogant they become.
In the end, I didn't go too far on this topic, and I ended the conversation.

Chapter 3 Part 7
"Sorry, I called you out at this time."

At eleven o'clock at night, I invited Ichinose to my room.
It's not surprising, Ichinose will refuse, but he doesn't show rejection.
"It doesn't matter at all, but it's not unusual to get an invitation from
Ayanokouji-kun."
"Because I have a question I want to ask. If you don't mind, sit in bed
first, the floor might be cold."
Ichinose answers thanks and sits on the bed.
"I feel a little, nervous ..."
"What?"
"Oh no, it's okay, but why don't you ask on the phone?"
Why, huh? I used a kettle to boil water and take a white glass.
"Because there are many things that cannot be heard clearly through the
telephone. So, there is someone who wants me to confirm this."
"I understand. "
"I will say it right here. What will you do for this exam?"
"Sounds like a continuation of the topic this morning? I'm thinking of not
leaving school and passing the exam ..."
"Have you thought about it specifically?"
I looked back and saw him trying to ask.
Of course this is like socializing.
I know that there is no other way than to use 20 million personal points.
"Well, unfortunately not ... but when it's almost gone, I feel anxious."
From 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.
"I wonder if you are asking for the help of the student council president,
Nagumo."
"What kind of help?"

In the face of mental unpreparedness, someone will panic, and they will
ask again as usual.
But after listening to my next sentence, the poker face cannot continue to
be used.
The water boiled, and I handed him hot chocolate.
"Thank you. "
"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. "
Ichinose who lowered his eyes to hot chocolate, sighed lightly.
"It's okay, Asahina-senpai also knows this case, but I didn't expect, she
would tell Ayanokouji-kun."
Apparently, the reason why he couldn't hide it was because I knew about
it.
"That means, you also heard about the requirement to fill that lack of
personal points that isn't enough?"
When I nodded, Ichinose smiled bitterly.
"In this case, I'm like a fool, right?"
Other parties will borrow points on condition of dating. He also seriously
considered this condition. This is the purpose of what he said.
"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."
"Don't worry about that part."
"But, that story has nothing to do with Ayanokouji-kun, isn't it ...?"
"Yes."
This is a class B assessment, and was decided by Ichinose himself.
"How many deficiencies?"
"About more than 4 million."
When combined, by adding 4 million personal points, so that someone
cannot leave school.
"That's a bad condition."
"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."

After 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.
"Maybe this is the only way to save all students in class B."
"I see ......"
Whatever is said here, I can't help it.
Only personal points can help Ichinose now.
4 million personal points is not something that is easy to prepare, even if
you have saved money.
"Oh ... you're worried about me, right?"
"You might think I'm a stubborn person."
"Not at all, I'm very happy."
Even though he answered this question, his expression was slightly
gloomy.
"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."
After a while, the chocolate will slowly send cold to his mouth.
"... What do you think of Ayanokouji-kun?"
"Did you ask for this transaction?"
"Yes. How do you see what I'm trying to do?"
Ichinose looks into my eyes.
I will answer positively in his view.
"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. "
"You don't hate me?"
"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."
"... ... is that so?"
After a while, Ichinose slowly drank the chocolate again.
"Hey Ayanokouji-kun."
Ichinose keeps looking into my eyes.
"What?"
"Are you possible ... ... someone truly extraordinary?"
Even if he said that I was an extraordinary person, I didn't know how to
react.

I just said what I heard from Asahina.
"What makes you think that? Sorry, but that's something I didn't realize."
"If you think that, it's even more extraordinary, because of Ayanokouji-
kun ..."
He stopped talking.
"No, it's okay."
It seems like he doesn't know what he wants to say. As if his mouth
moved before thinking.
"... ... What is that ... …"
(T: N: those who read the SS must understand)
Ichinose is like asking yourself to answer a question.
Even though it was difficult to come, he received the call.
Ichinose will act to protect Class B no matter what happens.
I can recognize him more.
After getting into trouble constantly, he will finally make a choice.
He chose to date Nagumo.

Chapter 4: Brother and Sister
The third morning after the additional test was announced.

Voting will take place on Saturday, the day after.
In the near future, one of my classmates will be expelled from this school.
When I opened the room door, cold air pierced my body.
I walked out of the hall to the lobby on the first floor, I saw Sudou's figure
appear from the side of the stairs.
"Are you walking up the stairs?"
"Well, I hope it's a good muscle exercise."
This is also part of participation in his club activities. Maybe Sudou lives
his school life better now.
We both walked together to go to school.
"Even though I'm stupid and angry, but now I'm quite satisfying. So I
definitely won't drop out of school."
Not that he told me, but he felt like he was talking about himself.
"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?"
"No, isn't that right? People who are strong-willed to stay will survive the
test."
"It means. "
When I came to school, I felt something strange when I entered the
classroom.
Sudou immediately went to his chair regardless of anything.
The atmosphere in the classroom has changed.
Even if I say badly, I'm not insensitive.
When I entered C class room, I felt a different atmosphere from yesterday.
This is a natural sight before me.
Yes, my friends naturally chat with each other, they talk to each other and
laugh together.
This is the real situation of the 'weirdness'.

Until yesterday, everyone in the class was very vigilant and valued each
other.
Today, they have a strong sense of unity.
Hirata came to greet me.
"Good morning. "
I made a brief response and peered at Hirata's appearance.
Did he not realize it, or did he pretend he didn't pay attention?
Hirata looked into my eyes with an ordinary expression.
"No, nothing."
"Really? Please help today."
Hirata finished his greeting and went to the girls who were calling.
However, my sense of incompatibility felt increasing with the increase in
student arrivals, over time.
The 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.
This is not a matter of who should be protected, but who should be chosen
to be expelled from school.
Currently 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.
Its members are a number of boys led by ike and Yamauchi.
And some girls who have relationships with them.
It is possible that people here might have joined together to form large
groups.
However, it is strange that there are people in the Kei-centered group.
I have not received a report from Kei.
"Good morning. "
Soon, Horikita also arrived at school.
Even though there was no change in his attitude and calmness, he looked
around.
"... ... What happened?"
"Do you feel it too?"
"Yes ... it doesn't feel good, if you're worried, ask them what happened?"
"Leave it alone, you better not disturb them if it doesn't bother you."

At least, you don't have to confirm it carelessly.
[What changes have occurred?]
I sent the message to Keisei, who had arrived earlier.
[I don't know, however, I feel something different from yesterday.]
Even though he didn't understand the difference, Keisei also smelled like
that.
[Maybe a large group has been made. The people in the class look very
calm.]
In order to let him see the difference, I sent a message to him.
After receiving the information, Keisei looked around and looked at me
again.
[It is true. The gloomy atmosphere has changed dramatically, and you can
see it. ]
[Because some friends, are very sensitive to changes around.]
[If they form a group of 10 or more people, is there a possibility that they
will discuss who they are going to spend?]
[The students they are targeting are in danger.]
[Who made the group? ... are we going to be okay?]
Keisei is worried about sending a message.
If 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.
Because the people in the class gradually started coming to school, for
now, the behavior of sending messages to each other was stopped.
We can do this again at lunch or after school.

Chapter 4 Part 1
During the lunch break, I gathered with the Ayanokouji group to chat.
Even if you say chat, it's mostly related to additional exams.
Of course, the main topic is about changes in the atmosphere that occur in
the morning.
Since Keisei came to school early, he found signs that large groups had
been formed in the class. The report was told by Keisei.
"... I see. I feel today is better than the atmosphere yesterday."
"But, this is still speculation ... isn't it?"
"Yes, there is no evidence that large groups have been made, and they
may not have decided who will be criticized."
In the end, just from the situation this morning I just felt it.
"Why don't we try to find out who started it?"
"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."
Keisei said that we must avoid it.
"We were not invited, there must be a reason why they did not do it."
If a large group is formed, then they can invite other people, except those
who will be targeted.
This is an ideal development to encourage 39 people to surround 1 person.
However, in reality it is difficult to be like that.
"For example, do any of us have a good relationship with that target ...?"
Haruka calmly concluded.
"... or maybe ... Someone of us is their target."
"No, don't say that, Haruka-chan!"
Even though Airi is scared, this sentence is not a joke.
"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."

Keisei'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.
"If they intend to continue increasing their numbers, they should invite
some of us today."
"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?"
With that in mind, Akito gave us a big challenge.
"Of course, we must prioritize our group!"
"If you do that, won't Haruka be their target?"
"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. "
Haruka answered Akito's question, fearfully.
"I agree, I also will never betray my best friend."
Even though Airi looked nervous, she nodded strongly.
"How about you? Keisei"
Keisei paused, and then said his true state of mind.
"... 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. "
"Then ... ... what do you think, Kiyopon?"
Everyone's eyes turned to me.
To unite the thoughts of everyone here, we must do several stages of
induction.
"I oppose Haruka to complain to them about this."
"That means you will betray your friend to join a large group?"
"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."
It is important to avoid feelings and emotions.
"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?"
"... ... Right. "

Haruka, who was previously worried, regained her composure.
If you rely on momentum and suppress your opponent with
encouragement, the information you can get is only a little.
At this stage, it is not possible to know who the group's goals are.
"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."
In other words, it can confuse the situation.
"What must be done is the best for our colleagues. "
I nodded and agreed.
"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. "
Horikita noticed a little, but Hirata did not realize it at all.
Even if information is accidentally leaked, it will be blocked at a critical
time.
"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."
"Overall, the mastermind is a flexible person."
"Very good, Kiyotaka-kun, even I don't understand things like that!"
Airi clapped, like criticizing herself.
"Of course. The one who noticed the incident this morning was me, but
Kiyotaka."
"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."
There is still no clue whether it really exists or not, just follow the topic.
"It's better to be alert."
"But, ah, only a few topics are worrying. Is there no topic that is a little
fun? "
While Akito sighed while playing with his cellphone.
All group members shook their heads.
"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."
Even if they join a large group, anxiety remains.
"Thinking like this ... I ... I'm worried."
"You still say this, Airi. You will be fine."
To get rid of Airi's anxiety. Haruka said softly and lightly tapped his head.
"But ... ..."
"If you want to set an example, I'm more likely to be hated by women."
"Maybe. "
Akito who agreed nodded and looked at him.
"What's wrong? You said it yourself."
"I did say it myself, but isn't it annoying if someone else says it?"
"... I think."
In the face of the inability to say it, Akito gave up.
Seeing them like this, Airi seemed to lose her confidence.
"Haruka-chan, is very funny, and has good humor ..."
"No, no ... at least the first, you can't say that."
Even though Haruka was surprised, he comforted him.
"Girls don't need to worry, there are too many boys who stand out in this
regard."
To entertain them, Keisei also said that.
"Yes, boys are really dangerous. After all, we are in serious trouble now."
"Really, compared to girls─ ─ ─ Hey, is that Hirata-kun?"
Haruka's words were a bit confusing, all seeing through his eyes.
Of course, there is the figure of Hirata, who runs without ambition.
The man kept walking and his smile never disappeared.
Even if he said respectfully. However, I could not feel the bright
impression on his face.
"Of course, he's worried about this additional test."
"He looks like a different person."
Two people who approached Hirata seemed worried about him.
"It's clear that he doesn't need to worry about being expelled from school,
but it seems he has too much burden to carry."
"Someone will leave school this time, and that can't be avoided."
I always felt that they were looking at Hirata with worried eyes.
When I listen to this conversation, my cellphone vibrates receiving a text
message.

It seems that the sender is someone who cannot be ignored.
"Sorry, someone asked me to meet now."
"Who is that?"
This made Haruka interested, and he looked at me as if he found
something interesting.
Airi also saw me with nervous eyes.
"Horikita, can be an additional test question."
"Oh, I see ?"
Haruka who understood it immediately lost interest.
Maybe that was a thought about Ryuuen's entanglement in the past.
I left the cafe and they.

Chapter 4 Part 2
The meeting location in a call on a school street is not suitable for a lunch
break.
It is a place to rest on the road.
Regardless of spring or autumn, nobody likes to go out at this time.
"Sorry, calling you out like this."
"No, letting you wait in cold weather like this, I have to apologize."
"No problem. "
The person I met was Horikita.
But that was not a call from him, but from his older brother, Horikita
Manabu.
"... Hello ...."
Tachibana lowered her head.
Even if they had left the Student Council, Tachibana continued to
accompany him.
I guess without even saying that it's like a different relationship between
subordinates and bosses.
Tachibana is usually a little rude to me, but today she is a little quiet.
Is it because he was trapped by Nagumo and forced to drop out of school?
"It looks like an additional exam has begun."
"You have heard it, but it will end soon."
"It seems that some first-year students have consulted 3rd grade students.
However, there is no special assistance from 3rd grade students."
"Of course, is there a senpai who will lend personal points?"
"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."
as I imagined, even though it was a natural process.
"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."
I understand. That's why Tachibana's expression wasn't too good.
Because of his own mistakes, his class lost 20 million personal points.
If it was the expenditure of war needed to prepare for the special exam,
everything would be different.
"I'm sorry, if I'm more assertive ..."
Driven by feelings of guilt, Tachibana lowered her head to her.
"Don't do anything unnecessary."
"Ah, yes ... ..."
It seems that he apologized many times, he was attracted to Horikita
Manabu.
"What about your sister?"
"Suzune won't come to me to meet me."
"This additional test has never happened before. There needs to be
someone who can advise him."
Actually, he is struggling. He also made contact with Ryuuen in that
matter.
Even though the result is getting a hit from Ryuuen.
"It's up to you, to take that role."
"Request is impossible, I'm different from you."
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who will do it to Suzune?"
"At least not for me."
"............"
Short silence occurs.
"He should be forced to make a decision now in the direction of the battle,
only you can guide him."
"Even so, he must choose it."
Of course. Horikita Manabu will not force her to make a decision.
From the start Horikita Suzune had to decide.
"So, what business do you call me?"
Talking in an environment that is so cold for a long time is not something
that is good for us.
Because he wasn't interested in the topic of his younger sister, I changed
the topic.
"It's about Nagumo. I want to ask if you have found a suspicious act

there."
"I don't think this is something that needs special advice?"
"I have to ask."
In an unexpected way, he learned the reason for arranging this meeting.
"Because I want to know the reason you were accepted."
I could see there was recognition in Tachibana's eyes.
Regardless of that, the fact that Horikita Manabu had received in response
to him, he thought that this might be related to Tachibana's growth.
"Am I accepted? I might just do something rude for Horikita Manabu."
"I know. "
When he responded quickly and returned to that point clearly, it hurt my
heart.
"But ... I tried to slightly expand my view. I feel you have abilities that I
can't see and I recognize."
"How do you look at seeing Ayanokouji again?"
"To be honest, I don't understand at all."
"I see."
What conversation is that?
Because of this strange and relaxed air, Horikita Manabu laughed a little.
"Unfortunately, we can only understand the true value of Ayanokouji after
we graduate."
"No, it won't change even after graduating."
"I think so. "
However, for this kind of thing. Deliberately called me under the cold
weather.
This also means that Tachibana suffered such a great trauma.
"Because Nagumo is wary of you, you don't want to fight him? So, why
don't you do it from the front occasionally?"
Although this is not a request for a man who will graduate.
However, Nagumo will definitely play tricks afterwards
No, maybe he did something.
"... Nagumo has secretly interacted dwith class 3 B at the last moment. I
thought he would give them overall support again like he did when in a
training camp. "
For the sake of winning from Horikita Manabu- For this purpose, Nagumo
might have proposed to them to drop him to Class B.

"The turbulent problem is truly endless. I really want to live a peaceful
life in this school."
"To get a peaceful life in the first class, you can't rule Nagumo this way."
Horikita Manabu believes that something serious will happen next year.
If Horikita Manabu, who wanted to be defeated, had graduated, Nagumo
would become even more arbitrary.
In other words, if I did not take effective precautions at that time, I would
suffer heavy losses.
"I will do what I can."
For a while, I answered like that.

Chapter 4 Part 3
In the evening, after taking a shower, I opened my cellphone and saw

Kei's missed call several times.
The call happens every minute, and it can be seen that something is quite
alarming.
I 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.
"Hello."
"Oh, finally you answer ... !!"
"You look very worried."
"I feel worried ... something will surprise you, Kiyotaka."
"I don't know who led it ... ... but Kiyotaka, you will be expelled from
school."
"Is that so?"
"You just said 'so'. Do you already know?"
"No, I just heard it. However, I only know that someone has been targeted
before."
So the target is me. I just found out.
"Why are you so calm?"
"Do you know how many people will choose me?"
"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. "
Outside of placing someone, one of them presents a threat will be issued.
Are the majority of them suppressed?
Even if I counted the sound of praise from Ayanokouji's group and one
sound of praise from Kei, it was only a small part.
"Is that okay? You can be their target. "

Of course, if the premise is that I tell people that I heard this from Kei.
Even 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.
A mastermind who targets me is not afraid of the risk that he will drop out
of school.
"What will you do. Tell me what to do?"
"I don't know. If the enemy is more than half the class, then this is really
complicated."
Even if I managed to collect about 10 votes of praise, it still cannot cancel
the voice of criticism.
Of course, the coalition group will vote for the sound of praise to their
friends.
That's enough to risk me dropping out of school.
"Thank you for telling me. I will be very busy. "
"No problem, but ... Really, what will you do?"
"What should I do? I'll start thinking about it now."
"Even though you look perfect but you have flaws. If you don't have me,
you might easily get out of school without knowing anything."
"I rely on you for opportunities like this."
"Oh, right ... ..."
Just 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.
"I'll call you again."
"Okay I understand. "
I ended the call with Kei.
Even though I want to say something about March 8, I will put it aside for
a while.

(T / N: Does it refer to the last special exam, or Kei's birthday?)
First of all, you need to find out why I was targeted.
"OK ..."
I grabbed my cellphone and began to spin my brain slowly to think.
Who to contact - this step will greatly influence the strategy afterwards.
The puppeteer who attacked me and their environment must be excluded.
Because of that, the situation won't improve if I contact someone who is
useless.
"... Then..... ."
I did not go through direct contact as before, so I contacted by telephone
from the address in my contact.
First, let's think about what to do first?
After a while, the call is connected.
"There is something? "
This is Horikita Manabu who I call in an ordinary tone of voice.
"I have something to say to you about this additional test. This is very
important!"
"Wait a minute. "
There was a sound of water flowing from the receiver, I waited for about
10 seconds.
"I'm washing, that's why I'm not very clear from the speaker."
"Sorry."
"It seems like something bad happened."
During the day, I met Horikita Manabu.
At that time, I said something similar. He watched it from now on.
"There is movement in my class. They are trying to form a large group
and are ready to choose someone to be released."
"From the contents of this additional test, it is inevitable that large groups
can be formed. So, who is the target?"
Maybe he thought of his sister's face.
"That is me. "
"This joke isn't funny."
"I'm not joking with you. Now more than half of them agree to criticize
me."
"Oh?"
"I'm having a little trouble, so I thought to consult with you."

"You want to say, even if it's you, there's no way to deal with this
additional test?"
"Frankly, I have to say that."
More precisely, at this time I will try to take countermeasures.
"What do you want from me, I don't think I can help you in this exam."
"Yes, there is only one thing I want you to do."
He must give advice to his sister.
See if he accepts it or not? My next response will change according to the
answer.
"...... So, that's the problem."
"That shouldn't be a bad thing for you. Just use this as an excuse."
"Indeed, if not, then I cannot accept this."
"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."
If a student like Horikita Manabu, he can understand even if I don't
explain his purpose.
"Even if there are people in the class who are staring, are you planning to
use 'that' to fight?"
"Yes, I plan to contact you wherever. Even though, I can say it during the
day ..."
"Why? Is it because there is Tachibana in that place?"
Of course, I knew that he wasn't the type of student who would talk about
it, but it was necessary just in case.
"Is that a very big danger? You're not in danger, right?"
"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?"
"...... I understand, I will act tomorrow."
"I appreciate your great help, and if I already know the mastermind, I'll
call you again."
I finished talking to Horikita Manabu and put the cellphone on the charger
cable.
"First, I have to take a step."
At first I planned to implement the strategy in this exam.
To eliminate unwanted students, this action is needed.
However, because I was a target, it was necessary to improve the
'accuracy' of the strategy. I decided to call Kushida on the next call.

"Good evening Ayanokouji-kun, I think you will call me today."
"So, I can assume that you already know the situation, right?"
"Yes, now you seem to be in danger."
So that's true, I have become a school dropout candidate. The news
arrived at Kushida's ear.
"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
..."
Of course, that's not the real reason.
"Who did you hear this from?"
Kushida was interested in where I heard, that I was forced to drop out of
school.
"That's anonymous."
"Then ~ Tell me one thing, what do anonymous people say?"
What did he say?
I can't answer questions and keep quiet.
"Because Ayanokouji-kun's thinking is very good. You think you won't
say it easily, right?"
"I failed to reach my intention. What do you want to know?"
"For example, tell you who the mastermind is, or how many votes were
gathered."
In 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.
"We guessed each other's thoughts, huh?"
"Impossible. Is Kushida the mastermind?"
"I will not do such a thing. I am a symbol of perfect neutrality and peace
in my class."
Even if he is not the mastermind, he seems to be quite close to the
puppeteer. I keep talking.
"Yes. If you are the mastermind, you will target Horikita."
"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."
"I want to know who the mastermind is."
"Even if I know now, it won't help you?"

Kushida constantly sees the situation and responds according to the
situation. It's not difficult to pull it to my side.
"I hope you tell me."
"You're really honest Ayanokouji-kun, but I can't betray a friend ..."
Kushida laughed at the end of the phone like a little demon.
"Yes, exactly, even if I want to make it eritahyou, I can't do it. "
"What do you mean?"
"I'm sorry I can't tell Ayanokouji-kun, because I'm the only one who
knows the identity of the mastermind."
"... ... that's the problem, huh?"
"As expected of Ayanokouji-kun, you seem to understand."
The puppeteer who decided to get me out of class chose Kushida as his
initial negotiation.
Then use Kushida to choose people who have nothing to do with me and
to win them.
If it's a request from Kushida who has a deep relationship of trust in the
class, it's difficult for students to refuse.
"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."
"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."
"Simple, isn't it?"
"I think if it's Kushida, I'm afraid you will see through my mind."
I thought if I asked Kushida to know the mastermind, this thought was
correct.
However, there may be a loss at the same time.
"Do you take it for granted? You will be a supporter of the elimination of
someone to drop out of school."
"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."
Of course, the situation deserves full consideration.
"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. "
I'm afraid Kushida will continue to apply his neutral position even though
this is the problem.
However, I was very worried about why he took bold actions to
cooperate.
One 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.
A 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'.
"Do you understand what I'm experiencing? I can't help you."
If the mastermind is expressed in front of a lot of people, then it will be
regarded as Kushida's fault.
He uses Cushida well.
"Then, I won't force you to ask who the mastermind is? Sorry, I called you
at night."
"Hey, don't you keep asking about this?"
"I don't want to disturb Kushida, you don't seem to cooperate in this case."
"Do you think you can find the mastermind without relying on me?"
"I don't know. I don't have confidence."
While I softened here, provoked Kushida to take a step forward.
If 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.
"What should I do?"
Although, Kushida stopped but did not back down.
No, he stepped forward.
"After all, I'm a friend of Ayanokouji-kun. Okay, I'll tell you."
If that's the case, I'll stop here.
"... Why did you change your mind?"
"Because I want to see how Ayanokouji-kun, will handle it, but if I finally
get damage, I won't forgive you."

"I can tell who is the enemy and who is not, so I can focus fully on the
enemy."
I thought it was good - Kushida smiled a little.
"Yamauchi-kun."
The brain names of the temporary mastermind are mentioned.
The reason why I say 'temporary', because there is not enough evidence to
judge whether he is telling the truth or not.
"So that's Yamauchi?"
"You're not surprised."
"After all, he was one of the candidates who dropped out of school. It's
not surprising that he took the initiative."
"... ... are you satisfied?"
Kushida asked questions to test this.
"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. "
"Then why don't I refuse?"
"It could be because you realize that the real brain is not Yamauchi, but a
student behind it."
The cute-looking Kushida has so far lowered its tone.
"In fact, you will understand."
"Before Sakayanagi searched for Yamauchi, maybe this was the reason?"
Before the semester exam, Sakayanagi came to Yamauchi, and this
problem had become a hot topic in Class C.
Besides the contact point between Sakayanagi and me, I present material
that can only convince Kushida.
"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."
"How do you know that Sakayanagi is behind him? Did Yamauchi say
that?"
"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."

This 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.
If, they didn't bring Kei to the group until then and that happened for
several days, I wouldn't realize that I was targeted.
"Is it a coincidence that Ayanokouji-kun is targeted by Sakayanagi-san?
Or intentional?"
"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."
"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."
However, the situation will change, if the mastermind is Sakayanagi.
Why before Sakayanagi came to bother and asked me to postpone the
fight on this additional test?
Even if he doesn't hesitate to break the agreement, he must use it to
destroy me?
What 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.
Pretending that the fight was moved to the next test, it was actually a trap.
No ... I know that Sakayanagi doesn't want a way of winning like this.
So, what is the meaning of this commotion?
"Thank you very much, Kushida."
"You have to deal with it, don't drop out of school."
Ending the call, I threw my cellphone to the bed.
"No matter what the intention is, what I have to do will not change."
Now that I know who the mastermind is, then the rest is to convey to
Horikita Manabu, and ask her to help.

Chapter 5: The Good and Evil
As soon as I entered the classroom in the morning, the eyes of classmates

looked at me ...
However, the line of sight spread rapidly.
Then there are scattered sights that see me again. They repeatedly made
such a move.
Let me get out of school -
The fact that the movement has begun.
It seems that this is the truth of the weirdness that I felt yesterday.
As a member of the Ayanokouji group, like Akito or Keisei, no changes
were seen.
It seems like their performance isn't so good that they don't realize it.
Because opponents also form large groups, of course no news will leak
out.
I can't tell the four people because they will make them worry.
If that is heard, they will soon find out that this problem is related to Kei.
I can only handle it myself.
"Oh good morning."
When Horikita came to school, she seemed to know nothing.
"Yo."
Apparently, Sudou came with him, he greeted me almost at the same time.
"I'll explain beforehand, this is just a coincidence."
"I didn't ask you."
Somehow Sudou who felt proud, sniffed his nose and went to his seat.
Maybe Sudou is not involved in this problem.
Even 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.
"... by the way,"

When there were only two people left, Horikita whispered to me.
"What? "
"What have you done?"
"Did you miss a few words? Please explain the details what did you say?"
"Did you do something to me?"
This question is very abstract.
"I don't know what you say, but I don't do anything, besides that I don't
have time to disturb your business."
"There's no time? What do you mean?"
"Don't care about that."
The lesson starts immediately.
From Horikita's attitude, it seems like she hasn't met her brother.
It seems that he will take action in the afternoon.

Chapter 5 Part 1
(Horikita Suzune pov)

Today is Friday, lunch break, and the exam will begin tomorrow.
I, Horikita Suzune remembered what happened last night.
I received a text message when I almost slept last night.
At that moment my heart beat fast, after seeing the sender's name.
That is a text message sent by Nii-san.
There is only one sentence written there.
[You don't want to do anything?]
There 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?
However, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
If I miss this opportunity ... ... If I want to hear Nii-san's voice next time, I
have to wait until I graduate.
[Can you tell me what that means?]
I decided to write a text message like that.
Even though I only have to send it, the tips of my fingers are heavy and
cannot be pressed easily.
"Fuu ... ..."
A message was sent after I took a breath. After that, I just need to wait for
Nii-san to contact me.
Will he really repay me? - When this anxiety has almost subsided.
Nii-san answers via phone call.
This makes me feel relieved.
Luckily, he just called me. Because I don't want him to see my hands
tremble.
"... ... it's me, Suzune."
"You said you want to talk to me."
"Yes ... ..."

"What do you want to say to me?"
"That ... ... Umm, why did you give me a text message like that ...?"
"Is this important? Is this something you want to talk about on the
telephone?"
"No, that's not it."
I felt that he would hang up, so I panicked and said no, to stop him.
"If Nii-san is alright ... can we meet in person?"
"So, do you want to talk directly?"
"Y-yes"
"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?"
This is a serious reality. I was contacted by him like this, I can only think
of it as a will.
For many people, the distance between Nii-san and me is very far away.
Actually, I really want to talk to Nii-san.
So far, until now.
But ... Nii-san never asked me for something like that.
"This is something I want to talk about directly."
Nii-san is just silent. I will continue to speak slowly.
"This is the last ... I won't involve Nii-san again."
That's the only offer I can tell him.
"Ok, alright. "
─ ─ ─ This is the conversation last night.
Then, I'm now heading to the destination to meet Nii-san.
To avoid others, we met in a special building where nothing will come.
When I arrived at my destination, I saw that Nii-san had arrived first.

Chapter 5 Part 2
"Thank you for waiting ......"

Suzune tried to remain calm, this figure never changed in the eyes of
Manabu.
It was always the goal he pursued.
"It's been a long time, I talked to you directly."
"... ... if I don't count when I enter school, this will be the first in three
years."
"That's right, it's been a long time."
Manabu remembers Suzune when he was in middle school.
When he decided to continue to high school, he pushed Suzune.
At that time he didn't even think that his sister would follow the same
path.
But, in fact, Suzune is in front of him.
"You say you have something to say to me? I'll listen to it."
If Suzune said that she wanted to make up with her brother in this
situation, then this conversation would stop.
He intended to tell him a little and leave without hesitation.
If it was Suzune before, it's not surprising that she said this.
"I think Nii-san knows about additional examinations for first-year
students."
"Yes, that is a test to force someone to get kicked out."
"Yes."
"Then?"
He urged Suzune to speak.
Suzune who spoke relatively well until now. Stop now.
"Basically, my personal points have run out in training camps. If you plan
to rely on me, then that is in vain."
"No. I didn't think about ... asking for this form of support."
To break doubts, Suzune broke her determination.

"What I want to say to Nii-san today is ... please - give me courage."
Suzune said that. Then he continued.
"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."
Manabu quietly accepted this sentence and saw a strong determination in
his eyes, and looked back.
At the same time, Manabu recalled what Ayanokouji had said to him.
What will his sister try to do.
That is not an easy task.
However, he intended to use his own hands to do 'things that others
cannot do'.
He broke his resolve and came to see his brother.
"Are you free now?"
"I have no plans after this ... ..."
"Is that so?"
Receiving an unexpected question, Suzune sounded a little nervous.
"Before listening to things from you, I have a question to ask you. What
do you think about this school?"
"Eh?"
"Is it nice to stay here?"
"Ah, that ... yes."
Suzune who didn't expect she would ask something like that, her
expression was shaken.
"Yes, sorry, that ... ..."
Even though Suzune could not answer that question, her sister did not
reprimand him.
"To be honest ... I don't know if I feel happy to be here. It's just that
staying at school is not boring."
"Is that so?"
Suzune could not understand the intent of her asking this question.
Given the past, he often had normal conversations with his brother - this
had been a long time.
"It seems you have overcome one of your own shortcomings."
"My shortcomings?"
"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."
"For some reason, it's not like Nii-san ..."
As far as he knows, his brother is a serious person, basically he never
showed his smile.
That's because he thought, his brother was someone who refused him.
His sister was sure that Suzune would not think that going to school was
something to be enjoyed.
"You only pay attention to my abilities. That's why you're always
obsessed with getting high marks on the exam."
"That's because - for me, Nii-san is my goal."
So far, Suzune has repeatedly said that her sister is her goal. Every time
his brother heard this sentence, he would show a grim expression.
"Do you want ..."
"... 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."
Although embarrassed by his own pride, he still wanted his brother to see
his attitude trying to catch up.
Manabu did not respond to Suzune, but he closed his eyes calmly.
"What do you think about Ayanokouji?"
"... What do I think?"
"You must honestly say it."
"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."
"Sorry, you won't be able to catch up with Ayanokouji."
"Ehh ..."
"But you don't have to catch up. You just have to grow rareyour own. "
"...! ..."
Suzune learned a little distance from her sister.
As long as he gets closer, he can reach his brother's position.
However, he had difficulty taking this step.
"Are you afraid?"
"... ... scared ..."
From a young age Suzune was unable to travel this distance.
This long distance made him feel hopeless and out of reach.
"To get close, you have to move forward."

"What should I do ... What can I do to reduce this distance ...?"
"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?"
Suzune nodded and began to slowly choose the words to be said.

Chapter 5 Part 3
After school a day before voting.

Tomorrow someone will leave this class and leave the chair.
Even though everyone felt anxious, but they seemed to feel relieved in
their hearts and thought they were fine.
It is true. Because they have decided to survive at someone's expense.
Let's let 'Ayanokouji Kiyotaka' get out of school.
More than half of the students have decided this.
Maybe most of my classmates have guilt at me now.
But in this way, they can be saved, and their guilt will diminish.
Someone will come out as time goes by.
If after one year, I only think of 'Are there students like that?'
Naturally, 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.
In response to the situation, I smoothly drew Kushida and began the topic
of voting with sympathy.
Kushida 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.
Yamauchi's strategy wasn't bad. As a risk mastermind, he does his job
well.
However, it is a pity that he chose me as a target.
If it is an act intended solely to avoid dropping out of school, he should
choose Ike or Sudou as his goal.
The two people did not have the ability to take revenge.
However, because Sakayanagi controls it, the situation won't be like that.
In short, because I will be kicked, then I just need to choose someone to
get him out of school.
But this time, I'm not the one who made the situation.
For them, I was only a student with weak feelings targeted by Yamauchi,
not a type of student who could change the situation.

Students who take this responsibility are others.
As my neighbor, the expression on his face was more serious than the
change I expected.
As if he had touched the magic sand, he had a different beam.
"The class will end. Tomorrow is Saturday, additional test day, don't fall
asleep."
With Chabashira-sensei's words, it marked the end of school.
By the time everyone gets ready to start packing their books.
That's when Horikita wrapped herself in silence.
Come on - Horikita, move on! You have to be able to move now.
A neighbor rose from a chair.
"Can you spend a little time?"
Horikita said loudly, calling everyone in the class
Of course, it will naturally attract everyone's attention.
"Everyone, I'm really sorry, I want you to stay in class for a while."
Chabashira-sensei seemed to be very concerned about Horikita's situation,
and stopped walking.
"What's wrong, Horikita-san?"
At this time, Hirata made a response faster than others.
That's because he is more sensitive than anyone in the face of changes in
class.
"I want to say something about the additional exam for tomorrow."
"About the exam tomorrow?"
"What, what do you mean? I'll play with Kanji for now."
"Yes, it is true. "
Yamauchi told him that they had no time.
"You're quite comfortable. You don't know who will leave school
tomorrow, but you still agree to play together."
When his line of sight was directed at Yamauchi, it panicked him.
"That's because ... even if you're worried, you can't change facts. This is
the real reality."
"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?"
"What do you want to talk about?"
"About the exam tomorrow, and decide who should leave school. I have

something important to tell you."
Horikita stepped forward, walked forward and stood up straight.
I think he wanted to be in a position where he could see the facial
expressions of everyone.
"You said leaving school ... Eh, what is that?"
Obviously Yamauchi started talking faster than usual.
Because he feels an extraordinary atmosphere, coupled with his own guilt,
unconsciously expresses this attitude.
"I have thought a lot about what I can do in the past few days. Thinking
about who should stay, who has to get out 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. "
"Wait a minute Horikita-san."
Not Yamauchi but Hirata stopped him.
"No one in this class has to leave school."
"I want to know, is that true?"
"That is ..."
"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. "
The first person to admire was Chabashira-sensei. And then Koenji.
"I don't know what happened to you, but your appearance is like a
different person now. That's a good story."
While clapping, Koenji continued.
"Can you tell me, what do you want to do with this?"
"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."
"Wait a minute, Horikita-san."
"Sorry, please don't bother me now, let me finish first. I'll explain the
reason why his name was chosen."
To save time, Horikita intends to advance the topic.

"No. I oppose you doing something like this that makes everyone
confused."
Even so, Hirata didn't give up.
Hirata also has his own style.
"At least he has the right to speak. You can oppose it later."
As if to prevent the obstacles Hirata. Sudou stops the disturbance.
"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."
Koenji, who is interested in this topic, also provides assistance.
"Yes, but, ... ..."
Horikita uses this gap to speak.
"I judge that in this additional special exam ... Haruki Yamauchi-kun must
be expelled from school."
Under the strict supervision of the class, Horikita clearly stated the name
of the student.
So 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.
"Why, why me, Horikita ?!"
It was clear that Yamauchi would react first.
If Horikita's behavior is approved, Yamauchi will be the target of
criticism. He will drop out of school.
"Of course I have a clear reason. First of all, in this year, your contribution
to the class is very low."
"There is no such thing! My test scores are always better than Ken!"
"You were overtaken last time."
"Yes, but ... just this time ~!"
"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."
"I'm not like Kanji! Isn't this the last time!"
Naturally Yamauchi will fight.
If you were called a target, any student would fight hard.

"Students with the same skills do have to be evaluated in a certain range.
You're right."
"If, that's true. I really hope you don't say my name ..."
"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."
"Me, I'm also a candidate dropping out of school!"
Sudou panics.
"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?"
"... Ah, that's right."
When the facts are put in front of him, Sudou accepts them honestly.
It seems that I to also accept that, seen from the expression of its weight.
"Really, what are you talking about in origin? This is very annoying!
Right? Kanji, Ken !?"
Yamauchi intended to attract two people who were also considered
candidates to leave school, but they did not have weapons to argue with.
"If it's me, it's not funny! People like Koenji are students who even have
problems with special exams!"
"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. "
Koenji sat satisfied with an extraordinary smile and crossed his arms.
"I can't agree! I feel that I don't understand anything!"
"Then I'll tell the reason, why did I decide to choose you among the
inferior?"
Horikita forced the noisy Yamauchi to calm down.
"Is that a definite reason?"
In this unusual air, Yamauchi retreated for a moment.
"In this test, I haven't told anyone, that you have a mistake. Am I not
right?"
Horikita said strongly to suppress Yamauchi.

"Nothing wrong with that ..."
"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?"
"What !?"
There is noise, and chaos in the class.
Even 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.
"You will make Ayanokouji-kun get out of school ...?"
Besides Ayanokouji's group, there was also Hirata among those who were
surprised.
For Hirata, who often is in a neutral position and thinks about class, this
cannot leak into his ears.
"That's right, everyone. This fact is undeniable."
Kushida helped Yamauchi where he was the mastermind of the group.
There are many students who have acted and wondered.
Even if you don't see the line of sight, you will be shaken if you hear this.
Only this will allow Hirata to realize that more than half of the students
are members of the Yamauchi group.
"So ... ... it's the reason that everyone is calmer than they imagined ..."
"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?"
"Oh, it's not me who did it!"
Even though Yamauchi denied himself, he had no defense to defend
himself.
"If not you, then who?"
"I, I don't know! It's just, that ... They say to criticize Ayanokouji!"
Lies forced to do usually do not have a good effect.
"If, you don't know who the mastermind is, then please tell me, who told
you to criticize Ayanokouji-kun?"
"That ... that ..."
"If you also hear this from someone? Don't you know who told you?"
Yamauchi who looked worried about his mind, looked around.
"... ... Kanji, I heard it from Kanji! Right ??"

Then he pointed the arrow at his close friend.
"No, hey? Not me!"
Of course, Ike will naturally deny it.
"Is that so? Ike."
"No, no, no, no. I ...
Ike intends to say this now.
But this is also a problem. Because the person who said to him was
Kushida.
He can't drive him away at will.
"Why can't you answer it? If as Yamauchi-kun said, are you the
mastermind?"
"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."
This time Ike points the arrow at Kushida.
naturally Kushida will not accept this situation with resignation.
He is the person who hates being criticized more than anyone else.
"No way, are you the mastermind? Kushida-san."
In the end Horikita asked one by one.
As 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.
"I ... ... that ... someone asked me to help him ... ... I can't refuse ..."
"'Someone'? Who is that?"
The released arrow will eventually return to Yamauchi.
However, Yamauchi who was in a panic, tried to release the next arrow.
"Oh, that's right! I was invited by Kikyo-chan! He invited me to criticize
Ayanokouji!"
I don't know that the chain that starts with lies will last.
"Eh ... me ... !?"
"Everyone hears this from Kikyo-chan? Is not that true?"
Kushida did an intermediary task.
However, most classmates know the facts -
Kushida Kikyo is a student who will act for a friend and she is not a girl
who will make mistakes for others.
There is a difference in the value of experience from the collected beliefs.

"It's terrible, Yamauchi-kun ... I only helped Yamauchi-kun, but I don't
want to leave Ayanokouji-kun ... so I work hard ..."
Kushida who looked down at the table, showed a sad voice.
Of course, what everyone thought about, was a scene where 'Yamauchi
asked Kushida to help himself'.
Yamauchi'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'.
The worst thing is that he will be expelled from school.
"... Kushida-san."
Horikita called Kushida, who lowered her head.
Maybe everyone thought he would give him words of entertainment.
"What you did is also a big mistake."
With a strong tone, Horikita rebuked Kushida.
"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."
"I, I, I don't mean to do that, I just want to help Yamauchi-kun ..."
"Stop being misleading and you're not a fool, you should have seen from
the start what would happen if you helped."
After listening to his words, Kushida stood crying.
"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 ...!"
"No, you think things will be like this. You know very well that this will
happen, and you deliberately ignore this problem."
"...! ..."
Kushida was afraid of Horikita, who blamed her too much.
Even though Kushida wanted to respond strongly in this place, he couldn't
do that.
Because he can't let go of his angel's mask in this situation.
Horikita must also understand this.
"You made a mistake about this case, you should have taken action
beforehand."
"How can I do that, I can't do anything ..."
"Make this a reflection material and consider the actions you will take for

the class in the future."
Horikita did not listen to Kushida's defense, after saying something like
that, she ended the topic.
"But it's like a fact, there's no doubt that the culprit is Yamauchi-kun."
For a moment, the tip of the arrow facing Kushida once again aimed at
Yamauchi.
"Wait, wait a minute Horikita. I said it wasn't me ..."
"Ah, this is really a very interesting topic. But isn't that a reasonable
thought to let someone get out 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? "
From the beginning to the end, Koenji took a neutral stance, from his
words.
Although all of his comments have supported Horikita.
"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."
"Then?"
"Yamauchi-kun, you're not only trying to protect yourself, but you also
plan to let Ayanokouji-kun get out of school."
"Wait, wait! I said it wasn't me!"
"That's bad. Everyone in the class is sure of what he is doing. Then, tell
me why is he targeting Ayanokouji-boy?"
Ok, Horikita nodded and responded.
"He - Yamauchi Haruki-kun is connected with Sakayanagi-san and he is
moving under his instructions."
The truth of Yamauchi-kun was revealed at this time.
"That's an interesting story. It's really worrying if he has a connection with
Class A students."
There might be a reason for Koenji who is so excited about following this
topic now.
Because 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.
Even 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.
However, thanks to his relationship with Sakayanagi, it can be said that
the procedure for removing Yamauchi can be ignored right
"Hey, Haruki, are you connected with Sakayanagi-chan ... ...?"
Not only hiding himself as the mastermind, Yamauchi was also revealed
to have a connection with Class A.
Even if it was Ike, he could not sit still.
"Here, this is bullshit! Where is the proof!"
"Then, let me check your cellphone now. You should have the contact
number, right?"
"That's because ... I'm friends with him, there's nothing suspicious!"
If it's really a friend, then there's nothing suspicious.
However, Sakayanagi had recently approached Yamauchi directly - it was
still fresh in their memories.
To remind everyone of the incident, Horikita said that sentence.
"Are you really connected with Sakayanagi-chan?"
As his best friend, Ike's comments were insulting.
"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 ...!"
Feeling worried, Yamauchi pretended to be a victim
"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."
"No, no, no!"
"In addition, there might be a condition that Yamauchi-kun is willing to
work together, for example, he invited him to join."

"Hey!"
However, the fact that Yamauchi wanted to hide had been revealed, and a
new anger emerged from Yamauchi.
This part may be the full reason. But seeing Yamauchi's attitude, this
reason seems correct.
"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."
Horikita asked all students in the class, not Yamauchi.
"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."
"How, how about this ..."
Yamauchi desperately tried to turn his brain.
To improve the situation for the better.
"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!"
"So. Do you want to say 'protecting yourself is not a mistake?' "
Although the reason was not very good, Yamauchi continued to try not to
admit that fact.
"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."
No matter how hard Yamauchi denies, Horikita will not back down.
"Oh, because you're good friends with Ayanokouji, so you're trying to
protect him!"
"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. "
"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."
Koenji was the first to support Horikita's idea by saying that.
"Wait a minute! I haven't betrayed! I swear to my life!"
This is the last choice. He uses his life as a guarantee to prove that he is
not lying.
It's hard to say whether this sentence is addressed to his classmates.
"Come to think of it, why should it be Ayanokouji?"
"What do you mean? "
"If I'm really connected with Sakayanagi, I shouldn't choose Ayanokouji,
but choose the most important person in Class C."
I 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?
"The answer might be that Ayanokouji-kun is not a flashy student. Even if
Sakayanagi-san wants to let good students drop out 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. "
At this level Yamauchi had no way to resist Horikita's resistance.
"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. "
What Horikita did included her struggle to increase self-awareness.
Maybe that has achieved results.
However, Sudou objected here.
"Please, wait a minute ... Suzune ... Yes ... I understand this well, I
understand that Haruki is wrong."
His expression became gloomy. Sudou often followed instructions from
Horikita. This is the minimum thing he can do.
"But I object to leaving Haruki out of school."
"He's your friend, I understand well what you feel."
However, Horikita had long known that Sudou would help Yamauchi.
And, Sudou can't easily pull it.

"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?"
"According to your theory, if he doesn't do anything, Ayanokouji-kun
won't leave school."
"That - ─ ─ ─"
"I'm not talking about that kind of dimension I'm talking about now,
Sudou-kun."
Horikita sighed in relief, and then revealed the courage left in her heart.
Preparing for battle, although at risk of being hated by all classmates.
"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."
"Eh ..."
Sudou is silent.
He only conveyed ideas to everyone, to Yamauchi.
However, for this reason someone must leave school instead.
Form groups and control the number of votes - this behavior itself is a
mistake.
Until 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.
Because 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?
"This is bad Haruki ... I can't do anything for you ... ..."
To 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.
Even 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.
"It seems like it's been decided."
Koenji who as an observer here intends to decide.
"Wait, wait, wait!"
Yamauchi shouted and tried to stop the decision.
"My mind has been decided. There is no one who is more deserving of
you to get criticism."
"Even if you think that! I made an appointment with the others. Everyone
promised to choose Ayanokouji!"
"... ... I, want to cancel it, ...
"Eh ...?"
Kushida who bowed his head and said softly.
"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 ..."
Kushida supported Horikita to avoid herself from lowering her evaluation
in this place.
"Wait. What do you mean! Too horrible to break your promise!"
"The terrible thing is Yamauchi-kun ... Because ... betrayed your
classmate ..."
Yamauchi became completely alone.
He should feel so much contradiction with him than anyone.
"You lack the greatest strength in this class, and they betray you."
Horikita said clearly, and was calm.
"That's my opinion."
say this, Horikita intends to summarize the topic.
It seems they think that no one can fight Horikita again.
"Finally, can you tell me the opinion of everyone here?
But ─ ─ ─.
"Horikita-san, I want you to wait."
"... ... is there something?"
A boy raises his hand.
If there are people who oppose Horikita at this place, there is no one other
than Hirata Yousuke.
"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.

"
It's not emotional like Sudou, or not theoretical like Horikita.
This is the resistance Hirata made who could not answer, and could not
bear to see it.
"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?"
"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. "
"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. "
No one will pick it up. If such a person exists, they have already run for
the exit.
"Do you understand this?"
"Not. I can't agree with this bad thing. "
Perfect honorary students. Even on the opposite battlefield he is still a
good person.
Weaknesses of Hirata Yosuke revealed.
The disadvantage is that he cannot do anything when he is in a dilemma.
"No matter what you think, I will believe in my own method and use it to
make a decision on this occasion."
"There is no meaning in doing things like that. There is no guarantee that
they will choose who, when they are on that day."
"There is no such thing, it is important to determine the direction of
classmates."
"No. Not all of them ... will let someone out of school ...!"
In Hirata's eyes. Maybe this will be a spark of competition.
If Hirata is normal, she is afraid that it will be a source of contention.
That's because whoever hates who, will be revealed.
"Okay, let me hear your decision."
Horikita, ignores Hirata and wants to encourage everyone to raise their
hands.

Nothing can stop Horikita again.
Right, when it's time to decide.
"Horikita-san!"
BANG! - Sounds echoed in the classroom.
Who can imagine a scene like this?
A table was kicked by Hirata until it crashed forward.
"Oh, uh, Hirata-kun?"
From the girls' side, they couldn't believe what had happened.
I also feel unbelief.
Everyone was very surprised to see his legs kicking the table, so that it
could cause this situation.
Likewise Chabashira-sensei was just as surprised.
His unbelievable actions surprised everyone.
"Horikita-san ... can you shut up a little."
Hearing his tone of voice, other people will feel scared and back away.
"... what will you do by stopping me?"
Shaken Horikita scratches her forehead, and uses this question to answer
Hirata.
"I told you to stop making decisions."
"You have no right to that ..."
Horikita also trembled slightly in the face of the pressure Hirata made.
At present, Hirata has such strength.
"This discussion is wrong."
"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."
"... .... So what ?"
"... That's why you say it's a problem. This is not the right evaluation."
"Shut up ..."
"No, I won't shut up. I-"
"HORIKITA ... ... shut up."
In front of Horikita, who will answer, Hirata said a harsh remark.
After hearing harsh and heavy words he had never said, Horikita closed
her mouth.
I wonder if the air froze because of this atmosphere.
"Listen, everybody!"
Hirata changed his tone like everyone else and gave instructions to his

classmates.
"Is this story true or false? It doesn't matter."
"... ... that's a lie! That's a lie, Hirata! I'm just a victim!"
Yamauchi shouted since he was kept pressed here.
"Victim?"
"Eh ... ..."
Hirata's eyes were very sharp through Yamauchi.
"After saying so many things, you can't do anything for that."
"That's why ... …"
"I feel sick because you don't think about your friend."
This anger is not only directed at Yamauchi, but for the whole class.
"It's a test, it's something that can't be avoided."
"Even so, manipulating sound is a mistake."
"The test will start tomorrow. If you challenge this test without retaliation,
that is equivalent to the betrayal that Yamauchi-kun did."
"Is there something wrong with no retaliation? We have no right to judge
classmates. "
"What are you talking about ...? This exam is about finding preventive
measures. And in fact, many students expect answers."
It was due to the fact that Horikita stood in front and got the attention of
many students, so she found this.
However, Hirata will not agree with this problem.
"- Doesn't everything you do here cause something like this?"
Low and heavy voices echo in class.
His mind still refused to understand that this cold voice was spoken from
Hirata.
"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. "
"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 go out of school by the group.' "
"Yes, that is also a terrible act, but that doesn't mean that everyone in the
class is explicit."
"It's the same. There's no change in essence. If you want to maintain

hypocrisy, you have to stop that action."
No one can insert a conversation between the two.
The people who can speak with Hirata who are now desperate may be just
Horikita.
"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."
"Right ... it's gone. So, I can't get rid of this fact."
After Hirata let out a sigh of relief, he continued.
Even though it seemed he had regained his composure, his cold
appearance had not changed.
"So I will write the name Horikita tomorrow, I will not tolerate you,
which makes unwanted actions in this class."
Hirata 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.
"Yes please."
If he agrees with Hirata, he will not accept this fight. - Horikita did not
express such dissatisfaction.
Chabashira-sensei who saw the conflict between two people in their eyes,
walked quietly forward.
"Horikita, don't you have anything to say again?"
"Yes."
After Horikita gave Chabashira-sensei a room, she returned to her seat.
Class time has passed, and this is not the time for the teacher to play.
However, Chabashira-sensei accidentally stepped into the student area.
"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.
People who pull their feet in the community will be expelled to protect
their friends.
In this series, of course there are tradeoffs like today and persuasion

formed by the guide.
This 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.
"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."
After Chabashira-sensei listened to the whole discussion, he said a
sentence like that and then left the classroom.
Are those who come out, Me, Yamauchi, Horikita, Hirata or other
students?
In 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.
This is a type of test like that.

Chapter 5 Part 4
As soon as I get home from school, Haruka comes and joins me.
Both Horikita and Yamauchi will gradually leave the classroom.
"Are you free after this?"
"Oh? Yes, I'm free."
Actually, I want to talk a little with Hirata ...
But Hirata didn't show his emotions at all, and he left the chair calmly.
This is not an idea it's good to ignore the group when the conversation has
spread.
"Come to the cafe."
I received an invitation like that, we formed a group the right way and we
left the classroom.
Even if I leave the corridor, no one intends to spread it.
"Are you not worried? You will be targeted by Yamauchi's group."
"Even though they aim for it, there must be no one coming out of our
group."
A little different than usual, Haruka was a little angry.
"I have the same opinion. Kiyotaka has no reason to leave school."
Keisei agrees with Haruka, and then Akito and Airi also nod strongly.
"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."
No matter how much action is taken, it is impossible to find out who the
target is.
After Keisei learned of this reason, he seemed convinced.
After arriving at the cafeteria and buying drinks for themselves, Haruka
made an opening.
"I think we can by agreeing to choose Yamauchi-kun. More precisely that
should be done."
"I don't mind, but what about the other two voices?"

"Isn't it better to choose from those who are still standing by Yamauchi-
kun's side."
"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."
"But, as a friend, I think they will give a sound of praise as mercy."
Maybe Haruka's prediction is correct.
Even though Yamauchi betrayed the class, he only did this to save
himself.
However, if you look at it from another aspect, he is used by Sakayanagi.
So, there is no room for sympathy.
Even though it's Horikita ... No, it's because I have brought hatred to
Yamauchi.
Yamauchi is the puppeteer, and Sakayanagi is behind him.
I told this fact to Horikita Manabu, and then he told his sister.
If he doesn't act, I intend to do the same thing directly.
"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."
If you look at it from a boy's side, there are 7 votes for criticism.
"What about girls?"
"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?"
"... ... Satou-san and Karuizawa-san might not criticize him ... ..."
"Why?"
"There is no reason, but ..."
"That's a woman's intuition."
"I can't rely on such instincts."
Keisei doesn't try to put it in numbers.
"I'm not so sure. But, I guess that might be an accurate answer."
"What do you mean? We can't enter Satou for a while, we also can't enter
Karuizawa."
Keisei was confused by a situation that was not understood.
"Don't worry about that ~ In short, these two people can be excluded."
"Others ......"

"But even if you exclude three people, you don't know what other people
will do at all."
"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"
"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. "
After hearing this incident, Keisei made a basis.
Even 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.
"That's right, Kiyotaka-kun."
"Yes, thank you. "
In Airi's heart, there should be anxiety that 10% of the remaining sounds
will be selected.
But he did not show this anxiety, and chose to comfort me.
"In the end, Kiyopon is the quietest person."
"There is nothing I can do, even though my feelings are filled with
anxiety."
"Don't worry, thanks to Horikita, the momentum is good for you, and this
situation is on par with you being saved by him."
If there is no statement from Horikita, there may be many students who
will not know any stories in it.
They will not think again, just write my name for help.
SanIt's easy to imagine this vision
"But ... where did Horikita-san know of Yamauchi-kun's betrayal?"
Suddenly, a question like that appeared in Airi.
"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? ..."
"That's right ... Horikita did not show any specific actions in forming that
group."

Yamauchi 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.
I can't pay attention or show that fact in the past.
"Even though I don't know who, but shouldn't he be someone who doesn't
want Kiyopon to leave school?"
"Yes, that's not something bad."
That is Kei, no one is aware of who he is.

Chapter 5 Part 5
On the way back to the hostel.

We found that Hirata was sitting listless on the bench.
Even though other people saw it, they would hesitate to talk to him.
It was because of a situation they had never seen before.
"He seems quite stressed."
"Yes. It's not like Hirata."
Both Haruka and Akito immediately understood the disorder.
"I think I'll try to talk a little."
"Forget it, Kiyotaka. Now keep letting yourself be better?"
"Maybe, but there are some things that make me a little worried."
"What are you worried about?"
"Sorry, come back first. If I talk to Hirata with lots of people, I don't think
he will welcome him."
"... 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."
I nodded in response to Akito's suggestion and left the group.
Everyone understood the situation and went to the dorm without stopping
me. - this decision really helped me.
Before I called him, I took a picture of Hirata's depression with a camera
in the distance.
Then I put the sentence under the photo and sent a text message to Kei.
"Hirata."
In order not to let go of this opportunity, I will talk to him from behind.
"...... Ayanokouji-kun."
"Can you spend your time?"
"No problem. Me too, um, I want to say a few things to you."
Maybe, Hirata has been waiting for me.
Otherwise, sitting in a cold place like this really has no meaning.
He did not sit in the middle of the bench, but sat on one of the edge of the

bench.
Can be seen fully, on the remaining part of the bench is intended to greet
someone.
I sit in the empty part.
"A warm spring is coming soon."
"Yes."
"I ... ... I think everyone can feel that spring ... No, I'm still sure
somewhere from the bottom of my heart."
Even if something similar to class collapse occurs, Hirata still says this.
Even though people see a bad and unattractive appearance, the parts that
make up themselves don't change.
"Do you hate losing someone ..."
"This is a problem that we cannot resolve. Is it me or Yamauchi-kun, or
someone else who will be a victim."
From Hirata's side, I can't see his emotions.
"I wonder if I can leave it to you."
"What did you ask me?"
"For class C. In the future, I want you to lead and replace me."
"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."
"That's impossible, I can't do it anymore ..."
He was disgusted with himself who could not make a decision. It is not
surprising that he has produced such an idea.
However, it is not limited to this.
"I made the same mistake again. I clearly reflected it at that time ..."
In his eyes, tears emerged from remorse.
I wonder how much Hirata suffered from this additional test problem.
"If you do it with your abilities, I can safely entrust that class to you."
A white breath came out suddenly.
There is no such thing as a class center figure that is charming and worthy
of emulation.
"In this test, you only need to write my name, Yamauchi-kun, and
Horikita-san."
"Leave the decision to the students.
There was no need for Hirata to choose one of the three to leave school.
The remaining 39 people will make their own choices.

"After all, you're really great, Ayanokouji-kun."
"I'm not so great."
"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. "
Because from a strategic point of view, this is more h good.
This is really not a good idea to force Hirata to choose for herself.
Just because I came to this conclusion, I said that.
"It's nice to talk to you. Looks like I can see the answer."
"No problem. "
Hirata got up.
He has found a way to overcome this test.
However, I don't agree with him.
"We, go back to the dorm."
He urged me to leave, and I didn't say a word to Hirata on the way back to
the dorm.

Chapter 6: The Other Classes’ Ideas”
In this test, the attitude of class D from the beginning until now has not
changed.
Because, when additional examinations were announced, about 90% of
students in the class had reached conclusions.
Even on Friday, the day before the test, their conclusions did not change.
Let 'Ryuuen' get out of school.
Most students don't immediately say it, nor do they discuss each other.
They only make such determination from the bottom of their hearts.
So 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.
Many 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.
On 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.
Although 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.
When Ryuuen learned about the contents of the exam, he understood
Ishizaki's problem and his classmates who would be the target of feeling
release.
Then he decided. He will leave school in this exam, and he will not reject

anything.
That's why he decided to enjoy the remaining time before the end of the
additional exam.
He must think about what he will plan after leaving school.
Therefore, living in a classroom after school is a waste of time for him.
Ryuuen immediately left the classroom.
Ibuki who saw his back, thinking of how to meet him after school.
So far, Ryuuen usually invites itself, but now there is no such thing
anymore.
A shadow crosses Ibuki, who is looking at Ryuuen.
"Your face is very gloomy. Don't you want Ryuuen-kun to come out so
much?"
"Ha ... you again, do you like to involve me so often?"
"No. I pity you. After all, because Ryuuen-kun will be released, your
presence will get thinner in class."
Shiho Manabe, a classmate, said that to provoke Ibuki. He is the central
figure of the women's group.
From 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.
That incident, made Manabe feel annoyed from inside his heart.
His provocative actions seemed to vent his anger.
"Will Ibuki-san criticize me?"
"Come on."
"Please, criticize me. I will criticize you too. We can do it to each other."
"... Ah, that."
Manabe is rather upset by this unresponsive response.
Because he really wanted to see Ibuki getting angry and worried.
"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."
That'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.
Ishizaki got up from the chair.
Additional examinations will begin tomorrow.
Once the exam starts, he can't do anything.

"Accompany me for a while, Ibuki!"
Ishizaki comes to two people who stare at each other.
"...... It's okay but ..."
Even though Ibuki was feeling depressed, he still followed Ishizaki's
words and left the class with him
Ibuki believes that if he moves away from Manabe, this situation is the
best.
"Even though you can pretend to be relaxed, after Ryuuen-kun is expelled
from school, you're the next one."
As the class ruler, Manabe sent bullish comments to Ibuki.
"So, where did you go?"
Ibuki who heads to the corridor, takes his eyes off Manabe, and asks
Ishizaki.
"Actually ... I just want to talk a little about that. What about the personal
points that Ryuuen-san has?"
"What? Of course, he holds it."
"You haven't taken it yet? The exam will start tomorrow. If he drops out
of school, the points will disappear."
"Who first said not to take it?"
"That ... At that time I didn't really care about personal points ..."
"If you want to take it, why don't you go directly to him and bow your
head? "
"I can't do anything like that."
Because Ibuki understood this problem, he deliberately said it.
"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? ""
For Ishizaki who wants to stop Ryuuen from dropping out of school, this
kind of expansion is the right thing to do.
However, 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.
He wants to be saved while he wants to save Ryuuen.
He suffered from a contradictory situation.
"I ... Damn, what should I do."
"The best solution is to let 'Ryuuen come out.' You know this too, right? "

"Is this really good? Do you think we can win in the future when Ryuuen
leaves school?"
"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."
"He is indeed a gambler, but if there is no such person, it is impossible to
be promoted to Class A."
Class A, there is Sakayanagi who has high overall strength and is also
very wary of Ryuuen.
Class B, Ichinose has high cohesion and stable results.
And class C, has Ayanokouji who has the ability to suppress Ryuuen, and
he has endless knowledge and strategies.
The difference in strength as a class is clear.
There is a strong image in Ishizaki.
Only monsters can play against groups of monsters like that.
Ryuuen is not a student who must leave this exam.
"Well, I admit that Ryuuen isn't normal."
In Ibuki's heart, there are also some thoughts like that.
Despite losing to Ayanokouji, Ryuuen's evaluation didn't drop
significantly.
Ryuuen has certain abilities that Sakayanagi and Ichinose don't have.
That ability can even reach Ayanokouji. In Ibuki's heart, he thought like
that.
"Damn ..."
Ishizaki is upset.
Ibuki narrowed her eyes and looked at Ishizaki who was annoyed, and she
began to think.
He wants to know what he can do in this exam?
Ishizaki is a temperament man, but he is still trying hard to overcome this
test.
Even though, he can't save Ryuuen, he keeps thinking of 'helping him'.
It is true. Ibuki can't do it as much as Ishizaki.
Ibuki realized that he was in a class that his classmates hated.
If, Ryuuen is really out of school, then Ibuki will be the next target.
Manabe's statement is not just a joke.
Even so, as long as he is honest, he will be saved.

Or maybe he will see something different in the future.
This is the most important reason that holds Ibuki.
He remembered the words 'man'.
"This test is not so simple. Saying 'I want to help' can make other people
be released.
'The man' is fully aware of Ibuki's heart and mind.
Because of that, he didn't take it seriously.
"Hey, Ishizaki."
"What ...?"
"You don't want Ryuuen to come out, is that true?"
"... Yes. I'm not lying."
"I see."
No one will receive more criticism than Ryuuen.
"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."
After Ryuuen left school, the next person was Ibuki.
That reality reappeared.
"I'll go see Ryuuen tonight and take his personal points. Maybe I can only
do this."
For the future of Class D, these personal points will remain and be used.
This can be used as a form of Ryuuen's regret.
"You're sure, can you do this ...?"
"This is all I can do."
Ibuki decided.
Take all the personal points from Ryuuen.
If these personal points can be used for Class D, this 'property' must be
taken.

Chapter 6 Part 1
Evening. Ibuki visited Ryuuen's room without prior notice.

A loud knock from the door, again echoed in the hallway.
After waiting for a while, the door opened.
"So, you?"
"... What are you doing?"
Ryuuen's naked body was naked and her lower body was wearing tight
shorts.
"If I say, will do something bad, will you be afraid?"
"I will kick your egg and go straight back to my room."
"Kukuku. I just took a shower, come in."
Her hair is still wet, and it looks like she's really just finished showering.
While wary of playing Ryuuen's words, Ibuki enters his room.
This was the first time in a year he entered his room.
There were various small objects which were placed unexpectedly, and
the impression of the room was different from that of the man.
"You don't have to want to spend the night with me before I leave school,
right? "
Ibuki, who did not intend to hear the play of his words for a long time,
went straight to his business.
"Give me all the personal points you have."
"Oh? Didn't you say you didn't want to take it before, then handed it back
to me?"
While cleaning her hair with a towel, Ryuuen took out a bottle of mineral
water from the refrigerator.
He did not hand over the mineral water to Ibuki, and immediately opened
the bottle and drank it himself.
"In this test, you have no way to survive. That means you will lose your
point when leaving school."
"Yes. If I leave school and hold personal points, everything will

disappear."
A confidential contract with Class A will be terminated and will not
provide any benefit to Class D.
"Let me give it to them, so that it can be used better."
"You're really brash."
"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."
Ryuuen is very honest lately.
Surely he only uses a few hundred or thousands of personal points.
"Kukuku, I'll say it. OK, take it. However, there's no point in saving this
money."
In front of Ibuki, Ryuuen laughed.
Then he took the cellphone and started operating it.
Personal point submissions only need a few steps. All assets held by
Ryuuen were transferred to Ibuki's cellphone.
"I've received it. Now you're not needed, Ryuuen."
After Ibuki said this, he intended to return his cellphone, but Ryuen
grabbed his arm.
Then he pushed Ibuki to the wall.
"Wait, what are you doing!"
Ibuki kicked him reflexively, but Ryuuen easily stopped his movements
using one hand.
"I don't hate your militant character."
"Hah!?"
Even though Ibuki didn't know what Ryuuen was going to do, he tried to
fight it, but Ryuuen smiled and let go.
It seems that this is Ryuuen's final farewell.
"Even though you're strong but in my eyes, you have too many gaps. You
can't defeat Suzune."
"Think of your own business."
"Well, Ibuki."
Ryuuen should have lost interest, and she looked away from Ibuki.
Then Ibuki hurried to the door to leave.
A little silence flows when Ibuki wears shoes.
"Do you have fun at this school?"

Ibuki guarded his back and heard something like that from Ryuuen.
"What?"
"It is okay. "
If he observed the usual Ryuuen, he could understand something like that.
Ryuuen is not satisfied.
Because he planned to leave school calmly without feeling satisfied.
Ibuki stood up, opened the door and a cold wind blew into the room.
"Goodbye. "
Ibuki left parting words and closed the door.
There is no one in the corridor at night.
A large number of personal points are displayed on the mobile screen.
He just closed the screen, but that only made him feel empty.
Ibuki went to the hallway and made a phone call.
He doesn't care whether the other party is sleeping.
If the person falls asleep, he intends to leave a voice message and close
the call.
However, the person picks up the phone before the second ring.
"It's me. I've taken all of Ryuuen's personal points."
He reports the results to someone who must be notified and complete his
work.
By telephone, the man said he wanted to meet him in person.
"Ok, but ... ..."
Besides, he is out now.
Ibuki agreed to this request and decided to go to the man's room.

Chapter 6 Part 2
Still, Friday on the same day before the end of the additional exam.
After school, students in class B live in class.
Without one student absent, and all in the classroom.
The person standing in front of the class is not Hoshinomiya-sensei who is
B class guardian, but Ichinose Honami.
"Everyone, thank you for staying as usual today. I really appreciate you
for listening to my selfish requests."
After the additional examinations were announced, Ichinose said one
thing to his classmates.
"I hope everyone has a good relationship and lead a normal life the day
before the exam."
He only has one request.
He only said this to his classmates and did not say the details of the
strategy.
Even if the relationship between students stiffens, there is no benefit.
Because in this exam, someone will leave school.
Class B students were not surprised even though they felt anxious, but
they faithfully followed this request.
They obeyed Ichinose's words. Only then can he help Class B, they
understand this from him for this year.
As 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.
"I think everyone is very worried. However, I hope you can calm down. I
won't let anyone leave school in our class."
While everyone has deep anxiety in their eyes, Ichinose said that. Even
though his words are good news, it will also raise doubts.

"Doesn't matter, Ichinose ... are you saying this with confidence?"
If he only lies to give peace to his classmates, it is best not to say it on this
occasion.
This is Kanzaki's consideration.
"We don't mind, Ichinose, because we are ready for that."
Even if Ichinose doesn't know what to do, Shibata won't blame him - he
shows this attitude.
But Ichinose repeats that again.
"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. "
Everyone here won't leave. He has such confidence.
"... Then let me listen to your strategy, how do you plan to prevent
'dropping out of school in class'."
However, if it has no basis, this is only an illusion from Ichinose.
"In this additional test, if you want to let everyone be safe, isn't there only
one way?"
"Yes, only 20 million personal points can be used to cancel school
withdrawals."
"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."
"But, it won't reach 20 million personal points?"
Shibata, her classmate, looked around and said to everyone.
He has counted many times, but it is difficult to achieve.
With a few million points left, this gap is too big.
"No problem, right? If Honami-chan says like that, just give it."
The girls did not ask for the details and immediately sent their personal
points to Ichinose.
Because a number of personal points are often given to him every month,
the procedure for sending them is normal.
"Well, that's true."
Shibata also followed and began operating his cellphone.
After being trusted by his classmates, he immediately received all the
personal points they held from his friends.
The total number shown on cellphones is almost close to 16 million

personal points.
"Well, that's according to the calculations, still lacking 4 million personal
points."
"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."
While Kanzaki sent points, he asked for an answer.
When Ichinose borrowed personal points from Nagumo, he promised not
to say anything to others.
However, because they had all reached this point, he could not keep secret
from his friend, right now.
So yesterday, Ichinose asked permission from Nagumo and he allowed
him to say to his classmates except for the terms of the transaction.
"Student council leader Nagumo will help. After I discuss this with him,
he promises to help cover up the shortcomings."
"Will the student council president give it? Can he give a large number of
points?"
"Yes. He showed me the number of personal points he held."
After getting a request from Ichinose, Nagumo immediately proved that
he had a large number of personal points.
"Of course I have to return it."
"What is the interest rate on the debt repayment plan?"
"Whether or not there is interest, will it affect the results?"
"No, no. I don't think I can replace my partner even though the interest
rate is high."
In that case, Kanzaki also agreed with Ichinose.
However, he considered that it was necessary to understand the details in
the future.
He feels responsible for 'questions that other students cannot ask.'
Ichinose is grateful Kanzaki took this responsibility.
He is an important partner who listens to the enthusiasm of the students.
"The debt repayment period is 3 months and there is no interest."
"That means the amount borrowed will not change ..."
In this difficult situation, it is not surprising if the other party will charge
more.
Student council leader Nagumo lent points to class B without interest. For
class B, he is like a savior.

"I thought it would be troublesome for everyone for a while ... Is that not
k problem? "
"Amazing ... ... Really, Ichinose-san! I'm so happy!"
No classmates showed expressions of dissatisfaction.
Because with this, it is not possible for students in the class to leave
school.
This is the resolution of Ichinose Honami, who wants to protect his
friends.

Chapter 6 Part 3
At midnight. Ichinose made a phone call to Nagumo.

To fulfill the exam tomorrow, he must confirm.
"Nagumo-senpai, this is Ichinose."
"Honami, did you call me to say that?"
"Yes. I talked to everyone in Class B today. So I want to confirm this
problem with Senpai."
"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'.
"Well, I guess so too."
Nagumo lends personal points while leaving their pocket money - this
kind of assistance is not possible easily.
This is one of the conditions proposed by Nagumo.
Nagumo holds a large number of personal points, which are close to 10
million.
However, 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.
"How many points to cover the shortcomings?"
"There are still 404,309 points."
"In this way. I can lighten the minimum burden. Even so it's unavoidable,
I will still bear considerable losses in the future."
"Yes ... ..."
Nagumo's burden was very heavy.
If in the next exam, a student in his class is issued, it is possible to save
the person.
But at that time, it was impossible to cancel the expulsion because he had
lent 4 million personal points.
Ichinose knew even though it hurt but he really appreciated that help.

"I'm really sorry, letting you hear my irreverent request."
"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?"
"... Yes. I remember, that ... Dating Nagumo-senpai, right?"
"Yes. As long as you agree to this condition, I will immediately send you
personal points."
"... The deadline is 12pm, right?"
"Are you still confused? Don't you want to avoid casualties in your
class?"
"Of course. I'm just feeling a little worried."
"Anxious?"
Something he will say is swallowed again, and then after a while he says
it.
"Senpai ... um ... do you like me?"
"What?"
"Ah, no. I'm really sorry about this rude question ... But I think what is
called courtship is based on this kind of feeling ..."
"If I hate you, I will not ask for such conditions."
Nagumo answered without hesitation.
Even though Ichinose was satisfied with his words, he still couldn't hide
his anxiety.
"If you agree, I will send it now."
"Please wait. I think ... I want to work hard until the very end."
"Don't you have a few more days?"
Every time, the deadline given by Nagumo is getting closer.
"You can't borrow personal points from class 2 or 3? You also can't
borrow it from the first class as an opponent."
Only Nagumo can borrow more than 4 million personal points.
Nagumo was also very aware of this.
However, Nagumo did not pursue Ichinose deeply.
However, when the time is almost up, he will come and depend on him.
"You have to remember. I don't have much time."
"Yes. I'll contact you later."
After completing the call, Ichinose took a deep breath.
Then he leaned against the wall.
Protecting his classmates. That was the top priority for Ichinose more than

anything.
Because Nagumo said that he wanted to help himself, he had to accept his
condition.
However, Ichinose does not have a romantic experience.
He never thought it was natural to date someone this way.
More than that ... In his heart said it was a mistake.
There is no meaning for both of them to interact with each other if they
don't like each other.
It also means nothing if only one party has that feeling.
However, once you are dating, you cannot easily decide.
"Ha ... I'm ready, I've decided ..."
Time passes until 9pm.
Within three hours, Ichinose must respond.
He exhaled a heavy breath.
Even so, he can help his classmates as long as he is patient.
If this is the best and the only way ...
However, before the final determination, his heart suddenly stopped.
If he agrees with this condition, he will miss himself.
His feelings are very sad.
"It's no use, think of myself."
he thought about it again.
If he doesn't agree with Nagumo's negotiations, someone will leave Class
B.
"... OK."
Bang - he patted his cheek.
"I want to - take care of everything."
Ichinose made a decision and smiled lightly.

Chapter 6 Part 4
A few days before Ichinose decided to accept the conditions from

Nagumo.
Return to the day when the additional examinations are announced.
For class A, unlike other classes, this additional test is welcome.
Because they come to conclusions faster and more definitively than some
other classes.
"After you discuss it, you will arrive at the conclusion on the test day."
Class A guardian teacher has finished explaining additional exam rules.
In the remaining time given to students, Sakayanagi spoke directly
without standing up from his seat.
"In this additional test, I want Katsuragi-kun to leave school."
Sakayanagi nominates it without hesitation.
Katsuragi closed her eyes and crossed her arms, not moving.
"You, what do you mean? This is too cruel!"
Yahiko Totsuka, who admired Katsuragi, was the only one who showed
resistance.
"Yahiko, calm down."
But Katsuragi stopped Totsuka.
"Yes, but Katsuragi!"
"I intend to accept this result."
"There seems to be no objection. That means no one is against this
decision."
Most class A have joined the Sakayanagi faction. Although some people
were not happy with it, it was not enough to overthrow the opposition.
In order to pass peacefully and safely, they will continue to be
Sakayanagi's partners.
Only Totsuka tried to fight about Katsuragi's fate.
Katsuragi really understood that his actions were meaningless.
"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."
His classmates raised their hands together.
Besides Totsuka and Katsuragi, as well as Sakayanagi, all 37 students
agreed.
Mashima-sensei seemed to have predicted this situation, and he quietly
averted his gaze.
"With this, the discussion about this additional exam is complete."
"Do you think this is good!"
"Yahiko, it's okay."
Even though Totsuka refused until the last moment, but Katsuragi did not
intend to refute Sakayanagi.
"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."
"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 ! "
Totsuka fiercely opposed the theory.
"Just because you are the leader of this class, doesn't mean you are free to
decide!"
"Yahiko, don't say that again."
Katsuragi held Totsuka to calm himself down. With a tone that is stronger
than before.
"Katsuragi ......!"
Even if Katsuragi would be expelled from school in a very painful
situation, he tried to be calm.
Totsuka leaned back in his chair as if to hit himself, in frustration.
"Even though you keep saying you don't care? After all, your comment is
very interesting."
"No problem. After all, no one objected to this policy. I will leave
school."
"That's right. Then listen to Katsuragi-kun's opinion, and we do it."
With less than five minutes of discussion, class A comes to the conclusion
of this additional examination.
Katsuragi stood up and walked to the corridor to be alone.

After that, Totsuka rushed after him and came to him.
"Katsuragi, you really don't mind going!"
"... 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."
"Yes, but there should be some students who are not satisfied with
Sakayanagi, just collect them—"
"You have helped me so far. I am very grateful to you."
"Katsuragi ... ..."
"After I leave school, you must follow Sakayanagi. If you arbitrarily fight
it, the next person who will leave school is you, Yahiko."
That was because Katsuragi understood this, so he wanted to avoid the
conflict between Sakayanagi and Totsuka.
"This is the last instruction I gave you."
"......, ugh, ... !!"
Totsuka whose face was filled with regret, he could only shake his head in
despair. the name mentioned, his attitude did not change from usual.
"Masumi-san."
"... No, nothing."
Sakayanagi felt that asking her was a waste of time, so she changed her
mind.
A calm and thorough assessment of Sakayanagi does not have a human
touch.
Sakayanagi thought it was a good idea to show Kamuro because he was a
similar person.
Phone calls broke the silence between the two.
Sakayanagi takes out the cellphone from his pocket.
He smiled and accepted the call happily.
"I'm glad to hear you, Yamauchi-kun, I think it's time to contact."
"You're very strange ..."
It is not surprising that Sakayanagi recently communicated with
Yamauchi like this.
Chat every day, talk about some useless topics.
"Today? Okay, no problem. See you later. But I have something to do
later. I'll see you later."

Kamuro immediately understood that the call was Yamauchi's love call.
"I'm walking now, so I'll call you again later."
This is what Sakayanagi said, only after a few seconds of a telephone call.
"In short, I have to go to Yamauchi-kun at night."
"You seem to be in touch with Yamauchi a lot. What are you going to
plan for?"
"Because I care about him."
"Do you care? Say ... Do you like it?"
"Does this feel strange? If I like it."
While remembering Yamauchi's appearance, Kamuro shook his head from
side to side.
"Are you kidding me?"
"Yes, this is a joke."
"Hey ..."
"I practice to be able to use it as a C-class spy."
"It's not easy to attend training like that ......"
"Not like that, an interesting test was announced and I intend to make it an
experiment."
For Kamuro, Sakayanagi said that as half the truth and half lies.
Even though Kamuro is his assistant, as long as he can't trust others
completely, he must hide it while talking.
"The first step is to meet him today. In this way, you can understand some
of my goals."
Sakayanagi who thought about the next development, happily laughed.

Chapter 6 Part 5
In the evening
Sakayanagi and Kamuro joined Yamauchi at Keyaki Mall.
In order not to let others see their meeting, the karaoke room was
deliberately chosen as a gathering place.
"Kamuro-chan ... is also here now."
"Sorry, I'm still a little shy when dating alone."
"It's okay! I also like dating like this!"
Yamauchi tried to smile, so as not to be hated by him.
To be honest, he wants to be alone with Sakayanagi, and then confess to
him.
After that, he will become his official lover, but he stops this urge.
"Yamauchi-kun, are you okay with this additional test?"
"What?"
"No. If you can handle it it's a good thing, only ..."
Sakayanagi accidentally stopped.
"If Yamauchi-kun leaves school, I can't see you anymore. I just don't want
that to happen."
This attitude of pretending to Sakayanagi made Kamuro feel disgusted,
but he did not show it on his face.
This is only part of the game.
If he reacts to it, it will only make him tired.
"I, I hate that too!"
"Our feelings are the same, aren't we?"
Sakayanagi stroked his chest.
"If you have a problem, I can help you."
"But ─"
"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."
"Of course ... ..."

"But, on the contrary I might be able to help other classes."
"Help ...?"
This idea was thought by Yamauchi.
"For example, I will give a voice of praise to Yamauchi-kun."
After Yamauchi heard this sentence, he swallowed his own saliva.
The sound of praise given by another class - even if it's only one vote, he
wants to get it.
This is something that is very desirable and necessary for students who
are candidates for dropping out of school.
"You, do you really want to help me?"
"If you're having trouble, I'll help you."
Even though these gentle words made Yamauchi feel happy, he pretended
to be calm.
In 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.
"Actually ... They are really jealous of me in class. I'm worried that a
group of people will criticize me."
"Jealous of you?"
"Yes. Besides, the only person who can meet you like this is just me."
"That's right, but I'm not interested in other boys."
Yamauchi could not say that he was a candidate dropping out of school
because of his poor grades.
But, Yamauchi wanted Sakayanagi to see himself great, while he also
wanted to get away pat help.
"I understand. Then to help Yamauchi-kun, I will teach you a secret plan."
"Secret, secret plan?"
"Yes. Gather more than half of your friends in the class and pull them.
Then target someone and force him to come out."
"But ... if I do that, I might be a target ...!"
"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."
Yamauchi nodded.
"So I'll help you."
"How, how do you do it?"
"In class A, there are around 20 friends who adore me. I will beg them to

vote for Yamauchi-kun."
"Eh !?"
"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."
"You, are you serious?"
"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."
"But, who should go out?"
"Of course ... We can't rule out good students for Class C. Masumi-san, do
you have a suitable candidate?"
"... What about Ayanokouji?"
"Ayanokouji-kun? I've heard of his name ..."
"Ah, simply ... he's a weak person."
"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?"
"That, of course! He's just a classmate!"
"Then let the person be a victim."
"But ... ..."
A feeling of wanting to be saved goes against guilt for sacrificing his
classmates.
However, although he did not want to accept it, he could understand it. Of
course, he wants to prioritize protecting his feelings.
"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."
Even though it hurt Yamauchi. He tried to smile.
"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."
"!"
This sentence fully reaches Yamauchi.
He thought about it randomly, and decided that this was Sakayanagi's
intention to confess to himself.
To achieve this, he must prevent himself from leaving school.
The most important thing is that if he does not succeed in completing the
plan mentioned by Sakayanagi, he might be hated.

He is busy with such thoughts.
"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."
"I, I understand."
"There was a suggestion before, Yamauchi-kun."
"Suggestion ......?"
"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."
"Certainly ... ..."
If they knew that only Yamauchi was in a safe zone, that would obviously
cause other people to become jealous and angry.
"I understand, I promise not to tell anyone else."
"Thank you."
"Only that... ."
"That, I don't doubt you at all, just ... Are you really going to give me a
voice of praise?"
"You mean, do you want a written contract?"
"I'm very worried about this ..."
Of course, an oral agreement would worry Yamauchi, and this kind of
thing would be very necessary.
"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. "
"Wait, wait! I believe I believe!"
Yamauchi desperately licked Sakayanagi who tried to cancel it.
"I'm sorry, doubting this ..."
"No problem. I understand your anxiety."
Sakayanagi smiled softly and gave the final suggestion to Yamauchi.
"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."
"Don't worry. I will never do anything like that!"
"Thank you. Masumi-san, please check her body."
"Eh, me?"

"Please."
"... I understand."
Kamuro responded calmly and carried out a body check on Yamauchi.
"It's getting more interesting, isn't it?"
This is just a simple game.
In the heart of Sakayanagi, the results were decided from the beginning.
After Yamauchi returned to the dormitory, Sakayanagi remained karaoke
with Kamuro.
"You're still bhaven't come home yet? "
It was around 8 o'clock.
Because students can only stay until 9 o'clock, so there will be a servant
who urges them to leave.
"Masumi-san, what do you think of my strategy this time?"
"I thought that ..."
"Ayanokouji-kun is not an ordinary person, you must understand this!"
"Yes. Besides, your interest in Ayanokouji is very strong, right?"
"It shouldn't be just this, right? Masumi-san should also watch it carefully
and feel it."
Even though Kamuro didn't know the details, the student had mysterious
and unpleasant things.
This is Kamuro's impression on Ayanokouji.
"He is strong."
"... ... is it very strong?"
"Even Katsuragi-kun and Ryuuen-kun or Ichinose-san aren't the
opponents at all."
"Oh? Then, how about you?"
"Let's see ?"
"...... It sounds bad, if you say it like that."
Kamuro thought he would immediately answer 'I can win', so he was
shocked.
"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."
This is an extraordinary feeling that he hasn't even noticed.
"I hope I can see it seriously before he is forced to leave school."
Sakayanagi hopes that from the bottom of his heart.

Chapter 6 Part 6
That's what happened on Tuesday. The next day, Sakayanagi received a

report from Yamauchi.
He personally taught him how to act and how to stand the test.
At the same time, the chess pieces placed in the Kamuro area themselves
were promoted.
"Is that so, are they those who criticize Ayanokouji-kun?
A total of 21 people. Sakayanagi can only sigh, this number is more than
expected.
If Yamauchi does it alone, things won't develop smoothly.
"Yamauchi-kun."
"What?"
"It seems like it's the right thing to ask Kushida-san to act as an
intermediary."
Kushida is the type of person who will act for his classmates.
"Well, that is. As Sakayanagi-chan said."
This is the right judgment, if 'he was asked by Yamauchi, he would not
easily refuse'.
More importantly, Sakayanagi had learned some information regarding
Kushida, and he was a little interested in that.
"When you asked him to help you, did you cry at him?"
"I, I didn't do such a shameful thing!"
As if he imagined he had cried, Sakayanagi and Kamuro looked at each
other.
"That means the negotiation is perfect."
"Yes ... ..."
"So tomorrow I will tell you again who will be included in the group."
"I understand. "
The most important thing is tomorrow and Thursday.
Sakayanagi will assess how to bring his classmates to the group Yamauchi

made.
After the phone was closed, Kamuro spoke.
"Kushida really helps in this kind of plan even though she has to let
someone out of school."
"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."
Sakayanagi takes the Queen's pawn and looks at Kamuro.
"What do you think the next situation will develop?"
"If this continues, the voice of criticism will gather in Ayanokouji and he
will get out of school ... But if he is very strong as you say, what will he do?"
"What if he doesn't know, if he becomes a target, do you think he will still
be ready?"
"I don't know what method he will use."
"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."
"... How to deal with it?"
"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."
In Sakayanagi's mind, he was drawing a state of affairs in class C in the
near future.
"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."
"For you, whether it's Ayanokouji or Yamauchi, it doesn't matter who
leaves school, right?"
Sakayanagi takes the king with the other hand.
"No. Let the 'King' stay to the end."
In the end, Sakayanagi controls all the chess games.

Chapter 6 Part 7
The day before the exam, Friday night. Sakayanagi lives in the karaoke
room for additional exam preparation tomorrow.
"What is the situation?"
Its members are Kamuro, Hashimoto and Kitou. Plus himself, there are 4
people.
"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? "
Sakayanagi holds fried potatoes and puts them in his mouth.
A student moves forward while observing the situation.
"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."
Hashimoto Masayoshi. As one of the Sakayanagi believers and has
arbitrarily marked Ayanokouji.
During the reconnaissance process, he saw Karuizawa's contact with
Ayanokouji, and he suggested about this strategy.
Although Sakayanagi accepted this suggestion and did not intend to
withdraw Karuizawa into the group, Sakayanagi changed his policy after
Thursday.
In the end, it leads to the current situation.
"To carry out this strategy perfectly, shouldn't we not let Ayanokouji
know that he is targeted until the end of the exam?"
"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."
That is why Sakayanagi decided to bring Karuizawa dominantly.
He passed Tuesday and Wednesday, deliberately choosing to divulge
information on Thursday.

Then, observe the progress of the next day. To see the possibility of
Karuizawa leaking information to Ayanokouji.
"Well, didn't you hit him badly, Sakayanagi?"
Kamuro who listened to this conversation, said a sentence like that.
Hashimoto began to analyze why Sakayanagi made things like this.
"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."
"I know they will conduct experiments in class. It's only a matter of time."
"But if this problem is not disclosed, there might be an advantage for
Yamauchi."
Sakayanagi listens to their opinions and feels happy to be able to escape.
"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. "
"You just want to see something like that, so you accidentally leaked
information to Karuizawa?"
"After all, this is to confirm whether your suggestion is correct."
"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."
"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?"
Criticism of Ayanokouji will decline sharply and criticism of Yamauchi
will increase.
However, Yamauchi received 20 praises from Class A and got out of
trouble.
As a result, it is not clear who will get more criticism.
After listening to Hashimoto and Kamuro's analysis, Sakayanagi laughed.
Sakayanagi has calculated the results.
Results not yet seen by Kamuro, Hashimoto, Yamauchi, and others.
Actions that lead to results come to mind.
He pulled out the cellphone that had been turned off.

As soon as the cellphone was turned on, he received a missed call and a
short message from Yamauchi.
The sound of praise held by Class A.
Yamauchi wanted to know if they would really choose Yamauchi, he felt
anxious and very upset about this.
"I forgot to tell everyone, this is a very important story about Yamauchi-
kun."
This is what Sakayanagi said, and he did not hesitate to convey what he
had forgotten.
(T / N: Sakayanagi recounts, Yamauchi happened to hit him while in a
training camp. And that's where Sakayanagi hated Yamauchi.)
Epilogue: ‘The Dropouts’
Finally, Saturday morning where additional test days arrive.

All classes basically decide who will come out.
Class A chose Katsuragi, and Class D chose Ryuuen.
Class B moves under the idea that no one will leave school.
Of course, it is possible that the students mentioned will not leave school,
and there is also the possibility that those mentioned will leave school.
Nobody knows who will come out before the additional test results are
announced.
Even if you want to drive someone away, as long as the other party
gathers votes from other classes, the plan will be interrupted.
From now on is the key.
I'm not in a 100% safe position.
There is absolutely no guarantee that you can gather a lot of praise in this
additional test.
Even though the time spent in class is as usual, additional exams begin at

9:00.
This is just 8:30.
This is a consideration from the school, more precisely that the school
deliberately gives us more time.
This is a set situation so students are alert to each other until the last
second.
"Will you not do anything until the end?"
"What?"
"I ask, even if you are in danger, will you just continue to see?"
"Do you see me doing something?"
"... ... I can't see it on the surface."
"That's the answer. I didn't do anything this time. More precisely I was
saved by you."
"I really did this. If you are still chosen as a candidate for expulsion, then
it's funny."
"I think it's not funny to be chosen as someone who leaves school."
This conversation is probably the last conversation I made with my
neighbor.
"That is also true."
Horikita answered shortly.
I welcome the test as it is.
Even though I think so ... but at the last minute, the situation has changed.
"Please listen to me, everyone."
That's Hirata. Even though he had a quarrel with Horikita yesterday, he
actually didn't think of any strategies.
He only thought about criticizing Horikita.
Of course, some students who like Hirata might follow it.
However, he did not play a decisive role.
In class C, everyone's evaluation of Horikita was relatively high.
Despite his bold and fearless manner of speaking to make people feel
pierced, for that person also gives a reliable impression.
"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?"
Hirata calmly said.
"Will he still say something?" Horikita said.

"It seems like that." I replied.
Otherwise he won't let everyone listen to his words at the last minute.
"It's no use. He has no retaliation. He can only say something that will
delay the conclusion." Horikita said.
No, this is hard to say.
I can see that Hirata's eyes contain some sort of resolution.
"First of all, I want to express my apologies for the fact that I said
yesterday to vote for the criticism of Horikita-san."
I thought he would say something. Hirata confessed his mistake to
Horikita.
"You shouldn't need to apologize, what have you done?"
"I judge you are the student needed for class."
"Then, have you seen who you think is not needed in class?"
"Yes, I will decide that."
Facing Hirata's statement that was so strong, Horikita could only swallow
hard.
"... Can you tell me who that is?"
"I will say it now."
Hirata slowly moved from his position and walked to the front of the
class.
Like Horikita did yesterday.
"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."
Hirata struggled to say the answers he had gotten.
This answer might be the same as I thought yesterday.
"I hope everyone writes my name on the voting criticism."
Hirata said what I expected
"I ... how can I do this kind of thing!"
Shouted, Mii-chan. Other girls also repeatedly voiced opposition.
"I will leave school, I have made a lot of preparations for that."
"I thought what you wanted to say ... Have you gone crazy?"
Horikita was suddenly annoyed by Hirata's voice which made her speak
this way.
"Even if you can't choose someone to get out of school, there's no need to
sacrifice yourself?"

"You have told me. If there are students who voluntarily withdraw from
school, the problem will be solved."
"That ─ ─ ─"
"So I will run as a candidate."
"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 out of school."
"I do not care. "
It can be said that Class C has been chaotic.
Of 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.
If Hirata withdraws from school, the difficulty of the exam in the future
will increase significantly.
The risk of losing a central figure in the class is inevitable.
"I can't criticize Hirata-kun."
Shinohara, and the girls welcome him to defend Hirata.
Every time they say this, they will hurt Hirata.
"You don't benefit from protecting me. I hate you."
Hirata's tone was still the same as usual, but her words were very cold.
"I ... I will choose Hirata!"
Yamauchi shouted.
"I think I should do this for Hirata's sake!"
He kept shouting.
"Well, this is the last resistance Yamauchi-kun made himself ..."
Yamauchi may have previously contacted Hirata yesterday.
Then he told Hirata that he didn't want to drop out of school, begging and
relying on Hirata's help.
That was also one of the reasons why Hirata set his intention to leave.
Then, after a long silence, Chabashira-sensei arrived in the classroom.
"From now on, we will start voting in class, I will call the name of the
student to go to the election room."
After all, if he did, he might get a voice of criticism given by others. This
is a retaliation against anonymous voting.
Well, what will happen to the results ...?

Epilogue Part 1
Turn to class A. On Saturday morning, everyone calmly waited for the

results of the announcement.
People who will leave school have already been decided when the
announcement of the additional examinations begins.
No one has complaints about this decision.
When the bell that will inform you of the additional test results is heard,
Mashima-sensei also enters the classroom.
He is a man who is always calm while working and not thinking too much
about things.
No, it must be said that he decided not to think too much about it.
This is his fourth year as a teacher in this high school.
He often witnessed many students dropping out of school.
"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."
"I didn't expect that I would be elected. Thank you very much."
Sakayanagi gives a general answer. Almost all students in the class
choose it.
"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."
There is no such thing as cheers or noise.
Class A students only wait when the names of students who drop out of
school are announced.
"- Students in the last rank received 36 critic votes. The name is ..."
Momentary silence.
Then ─ ─ ─.
"Totsuka Yahiko"

A name mentioned.
The name of the student is heard through a quiet classroom.
"How ridiculous!"
Shortly after the results were announced, Katsuragi raised his voice and
stood up.
"Eh, Katsuragi ... Why, why ...?"
It seems that Totsuka himself did not believe, and saw Katsuragi's face.
As 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.
While the results of the sound of praise and criticism were announced at
the same time.
Katsuragi was ranked second from the bottom, above Totsuka, with a total
of 30 votes of criticism.
"Sensei, what happened here? I'm the one who should leave school—"
"There are no errors in the results."
Mashima-sensei calmly answered Katsuragi's question.
A girl opened her mouth, like changing this incomprehensible situation.
"Katsuragi-kun, it seems you have given him a sound of praise, that's
good."
Katsuragi understood the situation.
This is not a result of mistakes, but a conspiracy.
"Wait Sakayanagi! Am I not supposed to be out of school!"
"Katsuragi-kun left school? From the beginning you were not the target."
Of course, he will answer it like that.
"Don't joke. You said that you would get rid of me!"
"Yes. I did say that I want to get rid of you ... but it's a lie."
Sakayanagi smiled softly and didn't care.
"Ke ... why ?!"
"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.
another, 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. "
"Kgh!"
Of course, Sakayanagi's intention is not limited to this. .

The 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.'
He implanted it in their hearts, the fact that if anyone helped Katsuragi,
then anyone would be the first person to be punished.
"Why are things like this ..."
"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? . "
If another class takes action to save Totsuka because of his will.
Sakayanagi does not want to let this happen.
However, 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.
"Totsuka-kun's good work, you must be healthy after leaving this school."
"Damn ... shit, shit ...!"
Katsuragi couldn't call Totsuka, who was backing him as if he was falling
apart.
Initially, Totsuka would feel happy if Katsuragi did not leave school.
But now that he's leaving school, he doesn't think about it anymore.
It's better to say that he even hates Katsuragi. Because the one who left
school was somehow not Katsuragi but himself.
If 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.
He also knew that this was not good, but in his heart he was still vaguely
starting to sketch his vision of the future.
All of this was lost because of this sudden attack.
"You can't make a solution with 20 million personal points -"
"Well. Too bad it's not enough even though we collect all our points."
"Totsuka ... There is no way to cancel this decision."
As homeroom teacher, Mashima-sensei also hid the pain in her heart and
told Totsuka.
"............"
Totsuka lost his words, he could only nod softly.

"I will take Totsuka to the staff room first. I will immediately take his
luggage."
However, Mashima-sensei had asked her to come out. If Totsuka stayed in
class in such conditions, it would only add to his sadness.
"By the way, Mashima-sensei. ─ ─ ─ Can I ask you a question?"
"What is Sakayanagi?"
Sakayanagi stopped Mashima-sensei trying to leave the classroom with
Totsuka.
Mashima-sensei gave Totsuka instructions to wait in the corridor and let
him continue.
"In this test, Totsuka-kun is a sad sacrifice, but ... Who left school in
another class?"
"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."
"Because of the different final results, is there no concern affected by
Katsuragi-kun?"
"Sakayanagi, what are you saying?"
"I'm just asking for references."
Mashima-sensei and Katsuragi seemed unable to understand Sakayanagi's
words for a while.
He doesn't consider 'that possibility.'
However, after seeing Sakayanagi's smile, Mashima-sensei reformed his
thoughts.
"... No matter who leaves school, it will have no effect. Besides, if there is
influence, then you cannot easily force someone to leave school."
"That's right. Thank you sensei for answering."
When Mashima-sensei left the classroom, Katsuragi quietly approached
Sakayanagi.
Hashimoto and Kitou hurriedly stood up to prevent him.
This is to stop acts of violence by accident.
However, Sakayanagi moved before Katsuragi said a word.
"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."
"... I understand. "

Katsuragi did not think about taking violent behavior from the start, but
only intended to vent his dissatisfaction.
However, his dissatisfied feelings were broken by Sakayanagi.
"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. ... "
"I said I understand. You don't need to get other students out."
"It's really awkward, if that makes sense."
If 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.
In this way, Katsuragi completely gave up. He had no choice but to raise
the white flag to surrender.
"Well, then, what about the other classes, now?"
Of course, he didn't look forward to the results of Class B or Class D.
He was only waiting for the class C results where Ayanokouji was.

Epilogue Part 2
Class C.
Yamauchi's voice, which made a loud noise and jerk, stung my ears.
"Hey ... Take it easy, Haruki."
Ike whispered to him.
"N, no, I don't understand."
"Hahaha, your defeat was decided, right?"
"What do you mean, Koenji? I'm not a person who will leave school.
Yamauchi looked back and felt scared.
"I'm afraid there are many students in this class who write my name."
Ike and Sudou could not hold Yamauchi who was shaken by Koenji.
"There is no such thing. The person who will leave this school is me."
Hirata said.
"Are you still saying something like that, don't you see something?"
"... What do you mean ?"
Koenji took out the cellphone while laughing funny.
"My cellphone 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? "
Hirata approaches Koenji and sees the message on his cellphone.
"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?"
"Something like that ..."
Hirata, who is a candidate for the voice of criticism, has now disappeared
from the ranks.
Naturally, students who feel anxious are students who are at risk of

dropping out of school.
"You're so calm, as if you've seen the results."
"You're the same, aren't you?"
"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."
"Only he is waiting for the results anxiously."
Almost all the students' eyes pierced Yamauchi's back.
What was the reaction of Yamauchi after hearing that?
Yamauchi looked at Koenji and rose slowly.
His expression blinked as if to reveal that he had won.
"... Hey."
Yamauchi pouted Koenji, for not wanting to lose to him.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if I say it now ... The person who will come
out is not me."
"Do you have a reason?"
"Okay, I'll tell you."
It seems like Yamauchi can't stand it. About the facts that everyone talks
about at will.
"How many people criticize me now, 20 people? Or 30 people? I don't
betray you, but you treat me so badly!"
Yamauchi grinned, patting Ike's shoulder next to him.
"Kanji, sorry, have let you worry."
"Ah, um."
He doesn't know what happened to him. He can only nod.
"There are only a few candidates to get out 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!"
"You say it, as if you can get a lot of praise."
"Yes. In fact, I can get it."
"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?"
"Yes. That is enough. Ha, haha ... Yes, that is useless. It's useless!"
Yamauchi spread his arms in the air.
"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!"

It seemed that Yamauchi understood, there was no point in hiding it and
decided to show off his own card.
"So it's useless, no matter how many people write my name ... ... I'm
protected by class A!"
Voting is over
It is true that there is an agreement between Yamauchi and Sakayanagi.
If 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.
Of course, if it came true, he certainly would not be a drop out student.
Then, me or Koenji, as well as other expulsion candidates like Sudou and
Ike, in danger.
"If it's like that, why are you so worried?"
Yamauchi shivered and looked nervous.
This proves that he is very psychologically uneasy.
"That ... ..."
"If you make an appointment with an enemy, do you sign a strong
contract? Isn't that the basis of negotiations?"
"No, no, that ... ..."
"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."
"Of course I know this kind of thing! But, it's okay!"
Yamauchi did not want to hear Koenji's words.
Now, he can only believe that he will get a voice of praise, and cannot do
anything else.
Last night, he must have tried to confirm Sakayanagi several times.
"Then, it should be safe. Isn't the sound of criticism that I gave you
nothing?"
"Yes, that is meaningless, meaningless!"
"Shut up Yamauchi, your shout is heard up to the corridor."
At that time, Chabashira-sensei arrived in class C.
"Soon. I'll announce the results of the class C exam now."
Finally the time came for a decision.
A student will immediately leave this class.
Is that Yamauchi where he said 'won't leave school' to himself?
Are those Sudou and Ike who are said to be candidates who leave school

at the next point?
Is Hirata waiting for the results calmly?
Is Koenji acting as usual?
Did I or Horikita see it change?
Or maybe there is someone else besides that?
"First of all, I will announce it from the top three with the highest number
of votes. Third place is - Kushida Kikyo."
Kushida who heard his name was mentioned, sighed with relief.
Did targeting Yamauchi yesterday result in a vote of praise?
Considering that he is always admired by his classmates, it can be said
that this is the right result.
"Next ... ... the second place, is ..."
Chabashira-sensei slowed down a little.
I also can't fully predict the results.
"You, Hirata Yousuke."
"...! ..."
When his name was called, Hirata closed her eyes and looked at the
ceiling.
The ugliness exposed in front of his classmates does not give him too
much negative impact.
Within this year, Hirata was very hard and dedicated.
Especially the girls, they really believe in Hirata.
Even if I didn't deliver the message to Kei first, his ranking wouldn't be
shaken.
"But, Hirata is ranked second ... Who is ranked first?"
Everyone thinks Hirata or Kushida will be the first.
Even though it is ranked third and second, it still responds to everyone's
expectations, but this shows that there are students who beat them.
"─── The first rating is ... ..."
Chabashira-sensei smiled slightly before reading the name.
He closed his eyes for the first time.
"Ayanokouji Kiyotaka."
Is that the result?
"Why?"
The first person to react was Yamauchi, who was supposed to deal with
me behind the scenes.

"It's not a mistake to rank first in criticism, sensei!"
"No. That is indeed ranked first in the praise voice. The total number of
votes is 42. This is very good."
All 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.
"What have you done ...?"
My neighbor Horikita cannot hide her surprise.
"You said, did nothing."
All this is done by Sakayanagi.
"Then, the last place in the voice of criticism is a student who gets 33
votes, unfortunately it's you, Haruki Yamauchi."
Yamauchi seemed to fall from a cliff.
He was told to leave school without any explanation.
"Three, thirty-three votes !?"
Basically it proves that Class A doesn't give him a voice of praise.
The second last ranking is Sudou, 21 votes. The third last place is Ike,
with 20 votes.
It can be seen that Yamauchi's friends were never in a safe area.
"I don't want it, why, why should I go!"
Yamauchi swung his arm at Chabashira-sensei who was nearby.
"... ... Haruki ... ..."
Ike and Sudou who were friends with Yamauchi could only bow their
heads.
They hoped that Yamauchi would stay, while waiting for the moment
when the results were announced.
But they also really understood the reality, if Yamauchi wasn't the last,
then he didn't know what would happen to them.
"Why, why, why! Why? Why are there ridiculous exams like this, and I'm
going to leave school because of this obscure exam!"
"What you also think about is your freedom, but this decision can't be
canceled, Yamauchi."
"Let me tell you ~~~~!"
Yamauchi shouted from the bottom of his heart.
Shout this unacceptable reality.
"That's right. Please ask on Sakayanagi, Sakayanagi! He told me that he
wanted to give me a voice of praise! If he violates the agreement, this cannot

be forgiven! "
"Are you holding evidence of the agreement that you did?"
Chabashira-sensei asked.
"He promised! Karaoke! I heard it on karaoke!"
"I also want to believe, but these words can't prove it."
"Hey, hey! ...!"
"Yamauchi, it's time to leave the classroom."
Even so, his body will not move.
"Come on. You're no longer part of the class." Koenji said.
"I haven't admitted it!"
"I mean, until the last time you were the worst, a bad defect product,
without hope."
Yamauchi was provoked nonstop provocation from Koenji. .
"Arrggghhhh!"
Yamauchi held his chair and rushed towards Koenji.
He lifted the chair and aimed at Koenji's head.
If he hits it directly, it will cause damage. However, Koenji was not weak
enough to be hit by this monotonous attack.
He easily grabbed the legs of the chair, prevented him from swinging, and
then forced Yamauchi to withdraw.
"You directed killing intent at me. I have no complaints about how I got
it?"
Yamauchi's face stiffened.
"Everything is enough."
Chabashira-sensei felt the dangerous atmosphere released by Koenji and
stopped them.
After hearing this, Koenji quickly let go of his hand holding the chair.
"Yamauchi is enough, don't make trouble anymore. This is also for you."
His classmates made a sad face to Yamauchi.
And face of mercy.
Something in Yamauchi's heart gradually collapsed.
"Woahhhh, arghhh!"
Yamauchi collapsed on the spot, making a sound of crying and screaming.
"... Please, leave the class."
Chabashira-sensei said this again. Yamauchi succumbed to the last
resistance.

Epilogue Part 3
Losing someone in the classroom.

The atmosphere became very different from before.
The room was gloomy and unpleasant.
No matter who dropped out of school, the atmosphere will not change.
However, if you have to eliminate someone, it is necessary to assess the
benefits of each individual.
Who is needed for class?
Who is not needed for class?
This must be decided.
One person stands up.
Taking this as a starting point, everyone did not make much noise and set
foot on their way back to the dormitory.
After Sunday, they can see each face of their friends in class on Monday.
However, they would not be able to see the figure of Yamauchi at that
time.
"He is more serious than I thought."
He ...? Of course, it's about Hirata.
He kept silent, without moving.
After being abandoned by Yamauchi, Hirata was in a shackled state.
"Hirata-kun ... ... that ..."
Mii-chan, who is worried about Hirata, comes to greet her.
Even though Hirata turned his gaze towards him, but said nothing.
What did Hirata think about this class? Only he knows. However, he had
no choice but to move forward.
The students who did not have the heart to see Hirata's appearance, began
slowly to return to the dormitory.
Likewise Sudou and Ike slowly left the classroom.
[For now. Let's go home.]
After getting a message from Haruka. The Ayanokouji group members

agreed to go home.
"Will you go home?"
I took my bag to leave the classroom.
I stopped briefly in front of Koenji, who was still in class.
"Ayanokouji-Boy."
"I didn't expect you would act for class."
"I just don't want to drop out of school, so I have to help Horikita-Girl."
"I'm not talking about this. Aren't you constantly inciting Yamauchi to
turn his anger on you yourself?"
Because Yamauchi was forced to drop out of school, he would definitely
hate all of his classmates.
However, Koenji who always shook Yamauchi, more than anyone else.
This is to let Yamauchi change his hatred towards Koenji.
He personally discarded Yamauchi who was said to be irrational after
dropping out of school.
Maybe from the point of view of the people around him, this action will
only make him look annoying.
"Well, I don't have an impression. I just want to see his ugly figure
disappear near me."
"Yes, I think this is the problem."
When I left the classroom, Horikita immediately followed me and grabbed
my arm.
"Ayanokouji-kun, you ... Since when and how much do you know?"
At 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 he doesn't want to win
from me with lies. He would not be happy if he forced me to leave school by
using a truce lie.
On the other hand, he tried to get me out of school using Yamauchi.
This action clearly violated my agreement with him. In other words, there
is a contradiction si.
To eliminate this contradiction, he had to find a way to erase the voice of
criticism centered on me.
In other words, giving the majority of votes praise for other classes of
class A for me.
In this case, I will get 30 or 20 votes of praise from class A and will enter
the positive area. Absolute security zone. So why did he do this? This was to

encourage Haruki Yamauchi to leave school. By making it a criminal, it will
reduce evaluasinys 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.
Therefore, I burned Horikita and used it 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.
"I've said before? If I don't participate in this test literally."
"... but ..."
"I'll go then."
"Ayanokouji-kun !!"
Horikita shouted and stopped in her place.
"Are you? ... who told Nii-san about the relationship between Yamauchi-
kun and Sakayanagi-san."
I did not answer Horikita's question and walked down the stairs.
I saw the notice board on the first floor.
These additional exam results are published on the bulletin board and
explain other class situations.
Voting results in class.
A student who dropped out of school
Class A: Yahiko Totsuka
Class B: None
Class C: Haruki Yamauchi
Class D: Manabe Shiho
There are 3 people.
These exam results do not affect class points.
"Yahiko? ... Of course, he said Katsuragi's name was nonsense."
The 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.
The figure of a student appears. He also came here to confirm the results
of the exam.
The student is Katsuragi. Ryuuen also came to confirm the results of the

exam almost at the same time.
"You're not out of school, Katsuragi?"
"...... I should have said it. I thought you would disappear too."
"Kukuku. It seems that the Shinigami is on my side. So I'm safe."
"You say Shinigami?"
"Never mind, after all you can't see it."
Ryuuen smiled and saw the results.
"It seems like Sakayanagi is doing something interesting, doesn't he dare
to show off your only friend?"
Ryuuen said it with a happy face. Next to him, Katsuragi showed a
regretful face.
"Are you really losing your fighting spirit?"
"I won't benefit if I act carelessly."
"Will you continue to follow Sakayanagi until you graduate? This is an
interesting joke. "
"............"
Katsuragi fell silent.
However, his expression seemed to drift away.
Yahiko, who always admired Katsuragi, had left here.
This also meant that Katsuragi lost the existence he had to protect.
"Oh, Katsuragi. Don't show it like this."
After seeing Katsuragi's appearance, Ryuuen might have the same
impression as me.
"With this gift, you should be able to make a loss for him."
"... 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?"
" I am not interested. "
Ryuuen immediately answered coldly.
"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."
It seems that this has been determined.
For Ryuuen, Katsuragi's withdrawal will also make the contract written
off.
Katsuragi took the front path for the return trip. He left me with Ryuuen.

"Come with me for a moment."
I did not refuse, following Ryuuen to the back of the school building.
"When did you become a good person? Ayanokouji."
"You won't believe me, even though I say I don't do anything."
What do I do? Ryuuen should have seen it.
"I'm not the only one who did it. More precisely those who adore you take
action."
I looked at the sky and remembered the things that happened a few days
ago.

Epilogue Part 4
After 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.
These two major changes are related to my involvement screen.
This returned to the night after I was in the library with Hiyori and called
Ichinose to my room.
At 10 pm, the room doorbell rang.
Only a few friends will come to visit me.
Maybe only people like Horikita, Kushida or Ayanokouji's group.
However, in most cases, they will send a chat or text message first.
However, I haven't received any contacts on my cellphone now. In other
words, they are not this type of guest.
Who comes to visit?
"... this is my first time visiting."
On the inside intercom screen, there was an unexpected duo.
Both of them looked very cold and waited for my response outside the
door.
"Isn't it curfew ... only upstairs?"
In principle, boys are prohibited from entering the area where girls live
after 8pm.
However, 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.
"Yes."
Even though I didn't really welcome them, I decided to respond as usual.
"... There is something I want to say."
A man says this. He peered through the camera and showed his face near

the camera.
It seems like he doesn't want to talk through the intercom.
"Wait a minute."
I went to the room door to open the door lock. Then after opening ...
Ishizaki from class D enters.
For Ishizaki this is the momentum to encourage him, if he does not want
to do it.
"Excuse me. Come on, hurry up, it's very cold."
"Why do I have to ..."
Ibuki, who is also a Class D student, expressed his dissatisfaction.
"Come on, hurry in."
"OK."
Ibuki entered the door under Ishizaki's insistence.
Indeed, as Ishizaki said, the outside was very cold, so I hurriedly closed
the door.
Behind the door, the wind will blow through the gap, so I let them into the
room.
"So, what do you want to come to me this late?"
Listening to me asking, Ishizaki put her palms together and spoke loudly.
"Ayanokouji! Please tell me, how can I avoid Ryuuen's withdrawal from
school !!"
"... What?"
The two men arrived in the middle of the night, and immediately
requested an unexpected request.
"Am I hearing wrong? Can you say it again?"
"I mean! Tell me how, so that Ryuuen doesn't get out of school!"
Looks like I didn't hear wrong.
"Forget it, Ishizaki. You won't get help from Ayanokouji."
It seems like Ibuki didn't agree with Ishizaki, he didn't come asking for
my help.
"Yes, maybe. But it's not a mistake. Besides Ayanokouji, I can't think of
anyone else can do it."
"It doesn't matter to me ... Oh, I'm just forced to follow Ishizaki. The call
is really annoying ..."
Saying that, Ibuki sighed and showed his cellphone screen.
There are more than 50 history of missed calls from Ishizaki.

"How can I come to him alone? He is an enemy!"
"It's no different coming with me, that's really stupid, isn't it?"
"Oh, that ... ..."
Both Ishizaki and Ibuki argue with each other.
"Looks like you're not the killer sent by Ryuuen."
If it's fake, it will be good. But this is not the problem.
"How is that possible. Ryuuen-san ... He won't ask us to do something like
that. You really understand about this, right?"
"I guess."
Ryuuen has ruined his school life in the form of Ishizaki's defeat.
In fact, his willingness to leave school seemed solid.
Even though he didn't mean to drop out of school, he couldn't come to me.
Because it was impossible for Ryuuen to feel satisfied by doing such a
shameful thing.
"You really don't want Ryuuen to come out? There are many things you
have to think about again." Ibuki said.
"...... That ...... There were many things that happened. But now it's
different."
"What?"
"Ah? What do you mean by 'what'?"
"I ask, what's different now?"
"Now, I understand that Ryuuen-san is the person needed for class D?"
"I don't understand, but I think there are a lot of problems caused."
The two people really came to visit me without union.
It must be said that there was a lack of ideological communication
between them ...
"If you want to fight, do it later."
I tried to stop both of them.
"Ah ~ I want to go back."
Both of them disagree. In particular, Ibuki still had an annoyed expression
on his face.
"Don't say like that, don't forget to persuade Ayanokouji."
"I said I hate to do things like that."
"If you want to argue, you can do it elsewhere."
I think this topic is not advanced an, then I decided to ask him.
"If you see it from the outside, it looks like Ryuuen is not liked in class, is

that true?"
"Yes ... maybe most people hate it." Ishizaki answered.
"It's not most people, you should say almost everyone. There's no point in
lying at the moment." Ibuki said.
"Don't be fussy! There's no problem using the 'most people' argument!"
"Ah ~ very noisy. Don't shout, your spit spurts everywhere."
"If you keep fighting, please leave this place."
In this narrow space, a sound would be heard in the next room.
After I finished speaking with a little anger, the two people finally calmed
down a little.
They finally understood that they were in a position as guests.
If so, I can continue the conversation.
"It's very difficult to stop Ryuuen from dropping out of school."
I don't have to say it slowly, but immediately said it straightforwardly.
I thought it would be easier to convey my thoughts to them.
"That should be."
Ibuki understood and nodded.
However, Ishizaki didn't seem to be easily convinced.
"You can't think of a way!"
Only real momentum. It seems that her feelings for saving Ryuuen are not
lies.
"You really don't want Ryuuen to come out? "
"... Yes."
Apart from Ibuki and me, most students think that Ishizaki hates Ryuuen.
Of 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.
This is also a feeling that has been embedded in him for a year.
However, if the test can be done with emotion, then everyone does not
need to worry.
It seems necessary to explain the difficulty of this additional exam to
Ishizaki in a way that is easy to understand.
"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? "
"Yes. But, does anyone think that they can win without Ryuuen-san's
strength?
Of course, some students in class D also recognized Ryuuen's strength.
However, that is not enough just because of this.
That is not enough to counter the risk of 'he dropped out of school'.
"They are targeting the hated Ryuuen - besides that he also doesn't blame
this."
The fact is the same as what Ibuki said.
"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."
He was afraid his class had negotiated this matter.
That can be seen from Ishizaki's expression.
"As a representative who has been recognized as a Ryuuen rebel, have
you ever heard of it?"
Ishizaki nods. On the surface, he also agreed that Ryuuen would leave
school. .
"Ibuki, Albert, and Shiina. Everyone, except for three people agreed that
Ryuuen must leave school."
"Did you do nothing?"
"Well, that's true."
Really helpless.
"So I came to ask you. You're the one who defeated Ryuuen-san, so ......"
"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?"
"What is that ...?"
"Helping Ryuuen means other people in Class C will replace him
dropping out of school. Do you understand this?"
This is an important part of the exam. This must be confirmed first.
"Ah, I understand, but ......"
"If you understand it, then there are candidates you want to spend in
class?"
"I haven't thought about it. I didn't think about leaving my classmate."
"Then this is contradictory. This test is designed to make someone

sacrifice."
In this test, you cannot easily say 'want to save'.
"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."
It's a cold opinion, but maybe that's the most likely method.
Ryuuen 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.
"No ... Is there a way for everyone not to leave school?"
"Of course, everyone thought of this at first . But, in the end everyone
gives up. "
"... That should be."
Ibuki took a breath for a moment like a surprise.
Rather 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.
"I said it was a waste of time. Ryuuen's exit cannot be changed."
"Damn ... !!"
Ishizaki looks very sorry and punches the wall.
"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 keep silent until the
end of the additional test. "
He doesn't think 'sacrificing himself' is a noble act.
He just can't dodge.
"You must understand him. This is also the duty of those who admire
Ryuuen."
"I i ... ..."
Ishizaki holds her hand tightly with regret.
Does he really want to save Ryuuen?
No matter how many enemies there are, Ryuuen has a partner who
admires him. This is not a bad thing.
Ryuuen might not admit it. But he really has good friends.

An idea appeared in my head.
But there are still some things missing to implement this idea.
"There's something I want to suggest ..."
"What is that, no matter what, let's talk!
Ishizaki leaned forward when asking. He thought I would save him.
Unfortunately, his hopes will be destroyed.
"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?"
"Ah, if he hasn't used it, there must be so much."
"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."
If the points are redistributed and the amount will decrease, it is better to
transfer all the points into the pocket of his own friend.
Ryuuen should accept this request.
"Oh, what I'm looking for isn't something like that! It's a way to help
Ryuuen-san!"
"Stop, Ishizaki, it's no use anymore."
Ibuki kicked Ishizaki lightly and shrugged his shoulders.
"But, Ayanokouji, I don't want to take the points collected by Ryuuen."
Ibuki only said his own thoughts - rather than begging Ryuuen to give his
points, it was better for him to give up.
"Then, how about Ishizaki?"
"I don't want to either!"
It seems that even though the two people have different thoughts, the
guidelines remain the same.
If Ryuuen really comes out, then personal points cannot be used.
They have such awareness.
No, this is not an extraordinary thing as enlightenment.
"Too bad you can't save Ryuuen."
"!"
Ishizaki looks at me with an angry and irritated expression.
"Listen well. All you can do now is take his personal points. This test is
not easy, you can't help and save everyone."

"Don't joke! You want me to take personal points from Ryuuen, then say
goodbye? How can I do this!"
Ishizaki raises his fist. Ibuki immediately grabbed his fist and stopped
him.
"Don't do anything unnecessary. Even though his face is like a human, but
his heart is a less humane monster."
"Even though I can't beat him, let me hit him!"
"You can't hit it."
He boasted and tapped Ishizaki's head.
"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?"
"Hey ..."
Ishizaki has just gotten blood.
It seems that it is difficult for him to stay calm when he hears things
related to Ryuuen.
Both 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.
However, if Ibuki or Ishizaki who are partners of Ryuuen don't want to
take it, then it's impossible ...
"Actually, I want to see your readiness a little more." "Ha? ... ... What do
you mean readiness?"
"This has nothing to do with you. Besides, you can't take points from
Ryuuen."
I finally talked about this topic. But I have half the confidence that Ibuki
will definitely take personal points from Ryuuen.

Epilogue Part 5
The night before the exam. At ten o'clock, my cellphone rang.

"This is Ibuki, I have taken points personal from Ryuuen. "
Ibuki said the situation.
"You know my contact number."
I tried asking, but Ibuki did not reply.
Surely I only showed my number to Shiina. Does he know from him?
"Will you help him?"
Even though I thought I should act immediately, the time was urgent.
"Can you bring Ishizaki to my room, now?"
"What now?"
"Is there a problem? There is something related to the personal points you
collect."
"No problem ... I understand."
Ibuki promises to contact Ishizaki immediately and then closes the call.
Do they expect anything? In just ten minutes or so, the two people
appeared.
Then I told Ibuki and Ishizaki to enter my room.
"How many points does Ryuuen have?"
"More than 5 million."
"That is enough. If not, we must immediately prepare some."
There is no evidence that he has used it.
"What do you mean, what will you do?"
Ishizaki has no clue.
While Ibuki didn't care because he had made a decision.
"With this, will you do something?"
"It is true. "
"What is that ...?"
"There is only one thing related to personal points, I will save Ryuuen
with that point."

"Wait a minute. Doesn't that method require 20 million personal points?"
He thought that point would not be enough.
"There are some things that must be asked before that ... Ishizaki: Are you
ready to take the burden?"
"Why, suddenly asking ... Am I ready to take the burden ...?"
"I already said that? To save Ryuuen, you have to sacrifice someone else."
"... Oh."
Ishizaki nodded despite a bit of panic.
"I decided to be ready."
"Ok, I hope you are ready for that. So, who will you sacrifice?"
"Who will be sacrificed ... ..."
Ishizaki hasn't decided who to sacrifice.
"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."
"Wait, wait a minute, let me think about it ..."
"No time."
"I'll come to a conclusion soon."
Even though he said this, if he could make a decision immediately, he
would not experience difficulties.
"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?"
Ibuki's anxiety can be understood.
Although like that, I also have thoughts.
"If you don't want to let Ryuuen come out, I want you to set a candidate to
replace him."
The problem with the details of the strategy will be discussed after this
issue is over
"What about people who have problems in class?"
Although Ibuki was reluctant to say it, he wanted to let this topic continue.
"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?"
"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."
Then Ishizaki has some thoughts.

"Nishino or Manabe ......?"
That's what he said.
I've heard both names. Manabe is actually the student I want to get rid of.
Even though I thought so, the decision was in Ishizaki's hands.
I intended to follow after listening to their decision.
"You have to choose one of them, or choose someone else. You have to
decide that."
Ishizaki 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.
Find 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.
Such an idea will appear in Ishizaki.
Even 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.
However, a word came unexpectedly.
"Can I decide?"
"What?"
"That's because I want someone to come out."
"Who is that?"
He is not waiting for Ishizaki's decision.
"I want to issue Manabe, like it or not, it's just a personal matter, that's
all."
"Can you decide with that?"
"I just hate it, so I decided. Is there a problem?"
There was no doubt in Ibuki's eyes. I'm right I understand it.
"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. "
"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."
"That's not a bad idea."
I will adopt Ishizaki's thoughts.
If 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.
"... Well, I might be released."
"Ah? What do you mean Ibuki?"
"Manabe might write my name, and Ryuuen. So I will be in danger."
"Wait a minute, really?"
"You know, my relationship with Manabe is very bad, right?"
"Well, it looks like, but ..."
Ishizaki, who didn't think of such a thing on his head, was shaken.
"That means, Ibuki is very sure."
Of course, if someone who dropped out of school was someone else,
besides Manabe, then he could only give up.
"For women you should consult Hiyori."
"Ke Shiina?"
"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."
"... I understand. "
Ibuki nodded and sent a text message to Hiyori.
"Are you close to Shiina? I don't think she will participate in the battle to
get the manabe out."
"I've asked him a little about this test."
He was a pacifist student, but his intention to protect the class was very
strong.
"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."
Control as many voices as possible for boys and girls.
Reduce the sound of praise to Manabe and add criticism to him.
Increase the voice of praise to Ibuki and reduce criticism of him.
As long as they do this, the large gap that occurs at the beginning can be
significantly reduced.
"Alright, explain your strategy, how can you save it with 5 million
personal points?"
Ibuki looked at me to move quickly.

I took out my cellphone and sent a message to someone.
The message was immediately marked as read and the other party said
that he would come to my room.
There are still two hours, and the time limit is almost up.
It's not easy, he really can't wait patiently.
"What are you doing?"
"After this, someone will come, that person is an Ace that will stop
Ryuuen from dropping out of school."
"As Card to stop Ryuuen from dropping out of school ...?"
Suddenly, they were not sure.
After a few minutes, the room doorbell will ring.
This strengthened the alertness of Ibuki and Ishizaki.
"Is it okay if this person sees us with you?"
"Don't worry about this. But it would be better to explain it first."
Before the arrival of a visitor, I told them how.

Epilogue Part 6
"Excuse me."
Seeing the visitors in front of him, both of them were naturally surprised.
They might not imagine it.
"Is this serious? ..."
"Oh!"
"Wow, I already thought someone would be here ... Good evening."
"Good night."
Somehow Ishizaki said a little late.
The one who came to my room was Ichinose Honami.
There are also Ibuki and Ishizaki from class 1D.
Ibuki saw it and it seemed like she finally knew the answer.
"It's about the same interests." Ibuki said.
"What are you saying? What do you mean by that?"
Ishizaki who still doesn't understand tilts her head.
"I think so, Ibuki-san." Ichinose answered.
"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."
"Oh, right ... Ichinose will save everyone in class B ...!"
It seems that understanding finally reaches Ishizaki.
"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."
This is a strategy that can only be used by these two people.
From 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.
"If both of them work together, there will be no students who leave Class
B, and class D can also defend Ryuuen."
The total number of criticisms given to Ryuuen was only 39 votes, no

more.
If you help darI can get Class B, Ryuuen's negative voice has been
completely erased and turned into a positive voice.
Ibuki and Ichinose looked at each other.
There is no mutual trust between the two who do not have closeness.
However, by looking at each other, they can still judge whether the other
party can be trusted to some extent.
One by one, Ibuki and Ichinose's view turned to look into my eyes.
"I will use 20 million personal points to cancel expulsion ..."
Then he saw Ibuki again.
"What should I do? You have the right to accept it or not, Ichinose."
Ichinose has the right to vote.
He can ignore it or accept it because he still has the means to use
Nagumo's power.
"It's decided. If Ibuki-san and Ishizaki-kun don't mind, let us help."
"Really ? "
"Yes, I have confirmed the two people's feelings."
"You're an idiot Ichinose."
"Hm?"
"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."
"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. "
Ibuki quietly averted his gaze.
"I'm different from you ... and someone in our class will cry because of
Ryuuen. That person might be me."
"But don't you still want to help Ryuuen-kun?"
"I just feel guilty about that person ... I owe him a lot but he has to get out.
This really makes me unhappy."
This assistance is based on awareness of hatred by other colleagues.
Ibuki sent personal points to Ichinose's cellphone.
"Please check"
"Ok."

Immediately, he confirmed his point balance and see if it reached 20
million personal points.
"Thank you, I have received it."
Ichinose shows his cellphone and proves that it has reached 20 million
personal points.
"The negotiations are over, I will be a witness, the contents of the
conversation have also been recorded."
I took out my cellphone to show justice.
"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
———"
"If I think not to fulfill my responsibilities, and if such a situation occurs, I
will take the initiative to get out."
Of course, I, Ibuki and Ishizaki did not think that this would happen.
The 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.
However, because of that Ichinose Honami, so Ishizaki and Ibuki can also
do it with confidence.
This is the story that happened between me and Ichinose and Ibuki and
Ishizaki.

Epilogue Part 7
(Returns to the conversation between Ryuuen and Ayanokouji)

The back of the school building is quiet.
"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?"
"Yes. After all, I know that Ichinose is collecting personal points. Besides,
I'm a 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. "
"When I trust Ibuki, and use them. This is a good opportunity for me to
build a relationship of trust with Ichinose. If I come to your place directly,
you won't give up the points, right?"
"That's the right choice not to give instructions to Ibuki."
If I previously explained to Ibuki, it would make Ryuuen suspicious, and
he would see who was behind him.
"Are you pointing at Manabe?"
It's natural for him to think like that because Kei is the target of Manabe's
persecution.
"No, it's just a coincidence. Do you know that his relationship with Ibuki
is so bad?"
"It turned out to be the problem. Ibuki really determined it. Manabe
became very sad."
I can imagine what kind of reaction Manabe showed in class.
"Am I saved by Ishizaki and Ibuki? This is a story that frustrates me."
"Maybe so. "
I don't need to explain this. If Ibuki doesn't come to my room that day, I
will discuss it with Hiyori.
Then let him take personal points and do the same.
This is to give Ichinose relief, and I didn't expect that Ryuuen would drop

out of school.
I took complicated thoughts on this exam.
"If there's another test later, what will you do?"
"Kukuku, enbro. "
He did not say he would do nothing.
In Ryuuen's heart, he has some thoughts about Ibuki and Ishizaki.
If Ryuuen can return to the front in the near future, then everything will be
interesting.
Of course, this depends on Ryuuen.
Calls are coming. A name is displayed on the mobile screen. That's from
Ichinose.
After learning that someone called me, Ryuuen turned and returned to
school without saying anything.
"Class B seems to have completed the exam without anyone dropping out
of school."
"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. That's fine, all class B is
safe. "
"But the price you pay is not cheap."
Although only temporary, class B finance is now worse than class D.
Even though personal points will be allocated again in April, their lives
will be very difficult.
And when they go up to second grade, there may be situations where they
need to use personal points early.
These things cannot be confirmed until now.
"Even if we lose personal points, we can restore them again, but once one
of our important friends is gone, they will not return."
It seems like I have said something unnecessary.
There is no doubt at Ichinose.
It was clear that he had the thought of graduating with all his classmates.
"Ryuuen-kun might not like this result, but it seems that Manabe is the
one who left school."
I did not mention that I had seen Ryuuen before, and pretended not to hear
the half sentence.
"Is Ichinose close to Manabe?"

"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 ..."
He might not have a real feeling about this.
"Will there be someone else who will go like this in the future?"
This question disturbs Ichinose.
"Maybe. "
As if, the students who had suddenly disappeared.
"Even so, you will continue to fight, right?"
"I want to go to class A with all my friends and graduate together."
Until now, there might have been someone who considered Ichinose like a
hypocrite.
However, it will completely disappear.
No matter what happens, Ichinose will continue to fight to the end to
protect the class.
"... Thank you very much, Ayanokouji-kun ... If there's no Ayanokouji-
kun, I ..."
"Have you been dating Nagumo?"
"... um."
When I said it, he replied in the usual way.
"Even though I know this is stupid, but if it's to help my classmate ... I
think that this is not a cheap price. However, knowing that I can complete the
exam without choosing that method, I feel very relieved."
He seemed to stroke his chest, and I could hear his breath coming out
through the side of the phone.
"If I do that, I think I'll regret it."
With that, he can laugh again.
"If there is no me or student council leader, what will you do on this
additional exam?"
"... Do you want to hear this?"
"Because I'm worried. Haven't you thought about it?"
"Well, there are two plans. The first is that I chose to leave."
Sure enough, he would choose himself to drop out of school.
"But I think it's a problem. I'm also a member of this school and have
thoughts of fighting to the end."
Does he focus on other plans?

"Others ... are lotteries."
"I see ... ..."
It seems that anyone can think of this, but it is difficult to get approval and
adopt it.
"Everyone in class B, is it ready to become a lottery?"
"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. the plan. "
If he wants to be fair and judge based on students' strengths and
weaknesses, he can only do it.
If 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.
"This can be handled as much as possible. But in other classes, this
strategy is impossible."
Naturally, good students will definitely not agree.
"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."
Just because class B has one absolute leader, he can do this.
"I'm very impressed."
Even though I couldn't show it because it was on the telephone, I lowered
my head and showed respect for Ichinose.
Although nothing extraordinary from this strategy.
But it can create an environment where this strategy can be implemented,
it is very great.
"Okay, see you again, thank you very much, Ayanokouji-kun."
"I'm just an intermediary, you have to thank Ryuuen and his friends."

Epilogue Part 8
My cellphone receives a text message.

"That's from Sakayanagi."
Even though I don't know where he got the information, let's meet.
At first I thought he would see the results posted ...
The text message sent by Sakayanagi said that he was waiting for me in a
special building. I intend to leave now.
Even though it's time to make an appointment, I still have to meet now.
I immediately came to the place where we talked in the special building
last time.
"You come? "
"Because you already know my contact number, shouldn't you call me?"
"Because I think, even though I can't see you today, there's no problem."
"What do you want to say?"
"I'll explain it to you."
Saying that Sakayanagi walked closer to his staff so that the distance
between me and him was shortened.
"I think I'm a little worried because I'm trying to confuse you, but it seems
that it's not an unnecessary concern."
Needless to say, Sakayanagi refers to the use of 'Yamauchi to focus the
voice of criticism on me.'
"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."
"I know. But does this violate the agreement?"
"You didn't break the agreement because it didn't have a negative impact
on me."
Even though I was forced to withstand tension, but as a result, I became
the owner of an extraordinary number of praise votes.
No matter how I look at it, I have no reason to blame it.

"Thank you. "
Sakayanagi lowered her head slightly and expressed her gratitude.
"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?"
"I'm not sure, you told me directly that you want to let Katsuragi out of
school, I feel this is just a bluff."
In that case, the possibility that Yahiko, who was a supporter of Katsuragi,
would be a very high target.
But that doesn't change anything even though I vote.
"That's great. After all, you are an opponent I must defeat."
"Is that only because you want to make fun of me this time?"
"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 see you out of school. Someone even sent a
message text me and ask me to force you out. "
"Message?"
"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 ? "
"If such rules are legally enforced, no matter what the student is like, if he
focuses on someone, he can get me out."
Even though it's Sakayanagi or Ichinose, it would be a trivial matter to
overthrow him if he tried to get them out.
"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 I can 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
out. "
"If so, why is Yamauchi, which is used by you?"
"Do you remember? When he was in the training camp, he took a rude
attitude and hit me."
It's true this happened.
"That is a retaliation for that problem."
Just because of that small thing, he did it.

No, maybe this is enough for Sakayanagi.
"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?"
"Yes."
Even if Sakayanagi is not involved in this additional test, the results will
remain the same.
"And that's the best reason to avoid the decision to win this test. While
hoping that my father can return as soon as possible, so that school
management can return to normal."
Empty special building.
Someone suddenly entered the room that was originally just the two of us.
"Ah, Hello."
A man in a suit appeared in front of us.
"This is the first time I've come to this school, can you tell me where is
the staff room?"
"Are you looking for a staff room? You msearch in the wrong place. By
the way, you're not polite, who are you? "
"I'm Tsukishiro, who will act as Director this time."
He waved his hand politely, and showed a sly smile.
He may be in his 40s, and he is a young director like Sakayanagi's father.
"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 run 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. "
When I heard those words, I remembered Sakayanagi's line of sight
towards the unnatural surveillance camera, which he had shown earlier.
If someone saw what I met here, they might panic.
Think like this. 'Other people will say he caught me'.
Director Tsukishiro received those words from Sakayanagi while smiling.
"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."
The man walked past us.
"If you are looking for staff space then you have to turn and go down.
You're in the wrong building ..."
When Sakayanagi politely explained, Tsukishiro kicked his wand while

still smiling.
Sakayanagi clearly cannot react to unexpected actions and starts falling.
"Oh."
I immediately embraced him to prevent the fall of Sakayanagi. Then the
big arm aimed at my body right after that.
I 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.
"This isn't as great as I heard from the rumor, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka."
My throat was pushed strongly and I couldn't make a sound.
It seems difficult to break free from a power that cannot be imagined from
this appearance.
"... ... you did something extraordinary, are you really a director?"
"You should get direction, to push him out of school."
"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?"
Sakayanagi smiled and stood slowly.
"Thank you for saving me, Ayanokouji-kun."
It is impossible for Sakayanagi with a physical disability to be able to
avoid it.
It's possible that it will end up getting worse.
"Director who acts using violence against students. Do you think this
won't cause problems?"
"Don't worry, because the surveillance camera here has been replaced
with a fake camera."
In other words, whatever happens, it will not be known.
"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?"
I will not speak a word, and I will not prepare any options.
Indeed this is what the man wants to expect.
"Looks like you have no intention of leaving school."
Seeing that I didn't answer anything, the Director muttered with a boring
look.

"Why don't you show one of the resistance? Please show me that you are
not a normal child"
The impact given to my throat became stronger.
He is an opponent who cannot be compared to ordinary students who have
experienced a lot of practice.
"Just eye strength isn't part of you, do you want to see my strength?"
He once provoked me.
However, I still haven't shown resistance.
When he realized that I had no intention to counterattack immediately,
Tsukishiro let me go.
"I will officially start working at this school starting in April. Please look
forward to it."
After leaving this sentence, the man left the special building.
"A wise choice, Ayanokouji-kun."
Sakayanagi praised me for not making resistance or counterattack.
"He is the director. If I fight him, I really don't know what will happen."
Even 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 this time. If
the Director's video part is acting violently cut, this is checkmate.
"Is your body okay?"
"You don't need to worry about that. I'm used to this kind of experience.
Sakayanagi!"
"Yes, what?"
"The next special test, should you compete officially with me?"
As soon as I say this, Sakayanagi makes a surprised expression.
"I never thought that you would say this directly. "
"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."
"No, I don't need it two or three times, I'll be happy to fight with you."
Immediately after, the last special test in the first grade will begin. That's
why Sakayanagi will end the confrontation he wants.
