Conclusion.
Listening to Horikita Suzune's reminiscences.
The gazes of many people in the class fell upon Ike Kanji.
Whether it was OAA rankings, progress over three years, or contribution to the class, Ike Kanji was in the last place.
It sounded as if.
Aside from a bit of camping knowledge, Ike Kanji seemed to be good for nothing.
However
The fact was indeed so.
According to the values of this school, Ike Kanji was indeed good for nothing.
And.
Camping knowledge was not some profound knowledge to begin with.
After the first uninhabited island exam.
Even the little camping knowledge Ike Kanji had lost its value; most people in the class already knew how to do it.
Even if Ike Kanji were lost.
It would no longer cause any impact on the class.
What remained.
Was only that bit of ethereal luck and the role of heating up the atmosphere.
In short.
No matter how you look at it.
Ike Kanji was in the last place in the class.
"Suzune..."
Sudo was somewhat hesitant.
After all, Ike Kanji was his friend too.
But rationally, he also knew.
Making Ike Kanji drop out was the most beneficial choice for the class, as well as the fairest choice.
Although there were many ordinary people in the class.
Roughly speaking, it was a difference of a few points.
But as a friend.
Sudo also knew very well that Ike Kanji still couldn't compare to the others.
For some reason.
The rational world often requires people to lose their conscience.
Then slowly move toward maturity, toward numbness... and finally lose the ability to empathize.
So...
Sudo could say nothing.
He hadn't read all those books for nothing; he clearly understood that making Ike Kanji drop out was the most beneficial and fairest choice for the class.
Persuading himself was also an easy thing.
Who told Ike Kanji not to work hard for these three years, and his progress was also the smallest?
Who could be blamed?
Anyway, Yamauchi Haruki had already dropped out, so having one more Ike Kanji drop out wouldn't hurt.
If there is a first time, there will be a second time, and countless times thereafter.
Now.
Aside from Sakura Airi, who is still in school and occasionally becomes a topic of conversation, Yamauchi Haruki had long since been forgotten by everyone.
And.
There are also Class Points to be gained, so why not do it?
Good habits are formed slowly.
Having tasted the sweetness of doing so, Yukimura and the others had long since formed a so-called path dependency.
Aside from when making the choice, which was still a bit painful.
Their sense of guilt had long since become numb.
It was just that.
No one in Class D spoke up.
They were all waiting for Horikita Suzune to react.
"I believe everyone is also very clear that even if it's very painful, we must choose a dropout."
Horikita Suzune looked around the entire classroom, yet no one responded.
No one was willing to bear this infamy.
However.
As a leader, she had to bear this responsibility.
"If there are no other opinions, then I will nominate first, and then we can discuss?"
Seeing no response, Horikita Suzune turned her gaze toward Ike Kanji.
But just at this moment.
"Then... you drop out..."
Ike Kanji kept his head down, making it impossible to see his expression, his voice murmuring as he spoke.
Because the voice was too small, the people around didn't hear it very clearly.
Horikita Suzune also furrowed her brow.
"Ike, what did you say?"
"I said..."
Suddenly, Ike Kanji abruptly raised his head, his red eyes staring at Horikita Suzune as he roared:
"Horikita, you drop out."
"..."
Inside the classroom.
Instantly it fell into an eerie silence, with no response for a long time, only staring in shock at Ike Kanji, whose eyes were red and swollen.
It wasn't until Sudo reacted that he was a bit dumbfounded.
"Wait, Kanji, what are you talking about..."
"What kind of joke are you playing? No matter how you look at it, it wouldn't be Horikita's turn."
Yukimura also frowned and said.
He originally thought Ike Kanji was going to say something, but in the end, it was just smashing the jar because it was already broken.
"All of you shut up..."
Gazing at the few people standing opposite him, Ike Kanji roared with red eyes.
"To put it bluntly."
"Clearly we agreed to make Kushida drop out, why in the end did Sakura have to drop out? Is there something wrong with your heads?"
"The people at the school look down on us like this, isn't it all the fault of Horikita and Ayanokouji?"
Ike Kanji roared while hunched over.
Transferring contradictions.
Indeed, it is conducive to class unity.
However.
Transferring contradictions at the same time meant admitting one's own mistakes.
And.
Class D originally intended to hide the news, clearly understanding that there was something wrong with such a thing.
For half a year.
Class D had been in an environment where almost everyone disliked them.
Although there were class companions present, although it wouldn't come to blows, the feeling of being marginalized by the whole world was not pleasant either.
Therefore.
Class D did not just hate Hikigaya Hachiman.
At the same time, they hated the culprits who made them bear this price, Ayanokouji and Horikita Suzune, who had acted willfully to make this choice.
If there were no downsides.
Everyone could naturally live in peace.
But as long as a disagreement appeared, and they bore a price they were unwilling to bear.
The matter of the Unanimous Special Exam.
Would be brought up and talked about over and over again, becoming material in the hands of others to attack them.
However.
Gazing at the increasingly hysterical Ike Kanji.
Horikita Suzune slightly clenched her fist, her heart only slightly wavering.
As early as during the Unanimous Special Exam.
Horikita Suzune had already prepared herself to bear everything, and this determination was not fake; this was also something a leader must bear.
Therefore.
Horikita Suzune had no regrets.
Kushida Kikyou's value was greater than Sakura Airi's.
Perhaps attributed to Hikigaya's concern for them, perhaps attributed to Kushida Kikyou's feelings for the class.
As long as Kushida Kikyou was still honestly playing her role.
Without betraying the class.
Then.
Whether it was academic ability, physical ability, judgment, or sharpness.
Kushida Kikyou's value was much greater than Sakura Airi's.
This was an indisputable fact.
Before Horikita Suzune could speak, Koenji shook his head.
"Just like that, blaming one's mistakes on others is truly ugly..."
"Noisy, what can a guy like you understand about me?"
"A person like you has something to be understood..."
"Everyone stop fighting..."
Just then.
Wang Mei-Yu really couldn't watch any longer.
She stood up with tearful eyes, clenching her two small pink fists and shaking her head continuously.
"The last exam was a decision we all made together, everyone stop fighting..."
Wang Mei-Yu said somewhat choppily.
Gazing at the constantly quarreling class, she felt a pang of pain in her heart.
It felt as if she had returned to the last exam.
The originally gentle class once again began to quarrel.
She really didn't want to see the class become like this.
Koenji's words were completely correct.
Attributing all mistakes to others was indeed disgusting and ugly.
Wang Mei-Yu's words were completely correct.
The votes were cast by everyone together, so naturally, everyone has responsibility.
Ike Kanji was simply throwing a tantrum.
