Third Year Class D.
Whether to expel [Horikita Suzune].
The result of the twenty-first vote.
In Favor: 20 votes; Opposed: 17 votes.
Looking at the result of the twenty-first vote, Ike Kanji couldn't help but feel a bit bitter.
Although the 'in favor' side was still the majority.
This undoubtedly already indicated that the situation was starting to turn.
In these few years.
Has he really had zero growth?
Naturally not.
At least his experience had increased quite a bit, and he had actually anticipated the current situation.
Since they could easily expel the innocent Sakura Airi, they could naturally expel him; there was no difference.
It was as if it was like the last exam.
No matter who is expelled, let's just end this exam quickly.
Most others probably held the same thought he did back then.
It was only now that he discovered.
Being cut off by companions he thought were friends was so painful; Sakura probably held the same feelings as him back then.
Shock, doubt, disbelief, disappointment, pain, despair.
And then acceptance.
If Sakura Airi could accept it, Ike Kanji naturally could.
Furthermore, having had the experience once, Ike Kanji was not without preparation; he had already thought in his mind that he might be expelled.
Looking at the voting pattern that was starting to change.
Ike Kanji became unexpectedly calm.
The strange thing was that his heart didn't produce much resentment; he suddenly realized he had done the same thing to Sakura Airi.
Then he has no right to resent others either.
Just.
No matter how ugly.
He was only trying his best to save himself.
Being in such a class, it probably couldn't be helped.
"It's already the last vote."
Ayanokouji stood up again and looked at the class.
"If you feel that rising to A doesn't matter, you can just wait for the exam to end in failure. If you still want to rise to A, then cast your vote for Ike; this is the fairest choice."
"Don't be fooled by this guy, this guy only says nice things. It's already the third year, and we're still in Class D; it's already impossible to rise to A."
Ike Kanji gritted his teeth and glared at Ayanokouji.
Seeing that the eyes of Sotomura and the others still looked somewhat hesitant, Ayanokouji guaranteed with a flat expression:
"I can guarantee that in the upcoming exams, we can win every single one without losing. If we are defeated, I can take responsibility and be expelled immediately."
"Liar, he's lying. Ayanokouji has a record of not keeping his word before; he's definitely lying. If it could really be done, how could we still be in Class D now?"
Ike Kanji continued to frantically accuse Ayanokouji.
However, neither Ayanokouji nor anyone else paid much attention.
After all.
No matter who is expelled, it doesn't matter.
If there's that one-in-ten-thousand possibility of rising to Class A...
"Wait..."
Horikita Suzune reacted instantly and spoke somewhat nervously:
"Ayanokouji, I know your strength is great, but do you really have the confidence not to lose a single time?"
"Yes, and if defeated I will be expelled, that doesn't change anything. If necessary, I can also sign a contract."
"The premise is that no one betrays the class. As long as no one sells out the class, I guarantee there will be no more expulsions from now on, and I won't lose until before I'm expelled. If I lose, I'll be expelled immediately."
However.
Although he said that.
Even if someone had a tendency to betray the class, Ayanokouji was confident he could nip the danger in the bud.
But.
This could become an effective constraint on Class D.
"What?"
As soon as this was said.
The people of Class D were instantly stunned.
These words undoubtedly reflected Ayanokouji's incomparable confidence.
Too arrogant.
As long as he wants to win, he will definitely win.
If a contract can be written and no more expulsions occur in the future, then it's worth a try. Anyway, when the time comes, Ayanokouji would be the first to be expelled.
"Wait."
Horikita Suzune reacted instantly and said somewhat hesitantly:
"Ayanokouji, setting aside why you can be so confident, since you have such confidence, then even if this exam fails, you should be able to win everything back in the future, right?"
The implication was.
Even if this exam fails.
If expulsions can be avoided and we can still rise to A in the future, that would be for the best.
"Horikita... that's just a delusion."
Ayanokouji stated the facts expressionlessly.
"If this exam fails, the gap with Class A will likely reach 1300 class points."
"It's impossible to be sure how many special exams there will be in the third year. If there are too few, even if we win everything, we still won't be able to overtake Class A."
"If you still hold the idea of graduating from Class A, you should cherish every single upcoming special exam and give your all starting from now."
"..."
Horikita Suzune clenched her fists, her lips pursed in some unwillingness.
This painful feeling was not faked.
But rationally, she knew what Ayanokouji said was the correct choice.
It's still unclear how many special exams come next.
With the cohesion of Hikigaya's class.
Saving up twenty million private points over these few months is simply too easy; passing the exam smoothly should be very relaxed.
Then the gap will be widened once again.
Even with the current special exam point rewards, a gap of 1300 class points is simply too large.
Enough to lead to despair.
Even if we can win everything, it would be meaningless.
If you want to rise to Class A.
You can only try your best to seize every special exam starting from now.
"It's already the last vote."
Ayanokouji turned to look at the class and said with a flat expression:
"Everyone should be very clear. If you still have even a shred of a thought of rising to A, having Ike expelled is the fairest choice."
"Everyone, don't listen to him, this guy is lying..."
Ignoring Ike Kanji's roars, Ayanokouji quickly finished writing the contract and walked over to Chabashira Sae.
"The contract is written. Let Teacher Chabashira represent the school as a witness. There's no need for everyone to sign, it should be fine, right?"
"Hmm... the contract is confirmed to be correct."
Chabashira Sae nodded, looking at the class with a complicated expression.
The content of the contract was very simple.
Apart from this special exam, as long as a single upcoming exam is lost, Ayanokouji will voluntarily be expelled.
It's already the last vote.
Confirmation was obtained.
How will the people of Class D choose?
Will they give up on the exam and the idea of graduating from Class A to protect a friend?
Or will they entrust everything to Ayanokouji?
Gamble on that one-in-ten-thousand possibility of rising to Class A.
Whether it was the home run in the final special exam of the second year, or the perfect score paper before.
Ayanokouji had already left a deep impression on everyone.
And.
As the class leader, Horikita Suzune did not object.
Probably what Ayanokouji said was the truth.
He might really be very strong... there might really be that kind of possibility...
The answer was simple.
Ayanokouji returned to his seat with a calm expression.
The whole world comes for profit, and the whole world goes for profit.
