The seventeenth vote: whether to agree to Horikita Suzune's expulsion.
Agree: 28 votes; Oppose: 9 votes.
"Horikita..."
Ike Kanji glared at Horikita Suzune and said indignantly:
"Did you see that? This is our opinion. If you really still care about the class, expel yourself, and don't shamelessly cling on here!"
"Are you kidding? What are you all thinking?"
Not just Ike Kanji, Yukimura also glared at Sotamura and the others.
"How could we let Horikita be expelled? When the time comes, who will lead the class? You?"
"Who cares about you? You want me to be expelled so you can reach Class A? Do you think I'm an idiot?"
Ike Kanji's bloodshot eyes glared at the other party.
No matter how good Yukimura and the others' academic grades were, there was no difference between them.
There was no voluntary expulsion like Sakura Airi's.
This was the tragedy of Class D.
"Calm down."
Sudo also hurriedly tried to soothe him: "Kanji, I know you don't want to be expelled and I won't let you be expelled either. In short, calm down first, and then we can discuss it properly, okay?"
However.
"Get lost..."
Things had already been said openly.
Ike Kanji no longer made any disguises.
He glared at Sudo and shouted.
"You strong guys don't have to worry about expulsion at all; you've probably already huddled together, right?"
"Anyway, in the end, won't you just let those of us with bad grades be expelled? Do you really think we're fools?"
"Sudo, if you continue to stand on Horikita's side."
"We're breaking off our friendship!"
Ike Kanji glared at the other party without yielding at all.
Even he knew that if they wanted to save themselves now, they had to stick together.
Actually.
It wasn't necessarily that he wanted Horikita Suzune expelled.
As long as he wasn't expelled, it wouldn't matter even if they couldn't pass the exam.
As for Class A.
If a person is about to be gone, who gives a damn about Class A? It's just that Yukimura and the others weren't willing to let it go.
The appeals of the two sides could not reach an agreement.
They were like two parallel lines that would never intersect.
"Kanji..."
Sudo was suddenly stunned, a pang of pain in his heart.
His best brother actually wanted to break off their friendship?
Actually.
Signs of this had already appeared.
With Ayanokouji as the link, Hirata, Horikita Suzune, and Sudo had all huddled together and hadn't associated much for a long time.
In the eyes of Ike Kanji and the others.
It was these smart people who had already huddled together.
"Kanji..."
Sudo felt a surge of anger for the first time in a while and couldn't help but clench his fist.
"Do I really look like that kind of person in your eyes?"
"How the hell should I know?"
When it comes to life and death, Ike Kanji didn't show any weakness, pointing at his own nose and sneering:
"After Haruki, it's me, right? Then it's Hondou, then it's Sotamura, right?"
"Ken, if you really still consider us friends, stand over here!"
Actually.
All of Ike Kanji's words were not without reason.
Talking about brothers, then expelling them one by one.
First to get ahead by cutting down your own brothers, is that it?
"I..."
Sudo's face suddenly stiffened, not knowing how to respond.
Cut down Haruki first and then cut down Ike...
And he still has the face to keep calling them brothers?
Sudo hesitated for a moment and glanced at Horikita Suzune, wondering if someone else could be expelled.
But Sotamura behind him.
And Hondou were almost all his so-called brothers.
And now, if they don't decide the expulsion candidate by OAA ranking, Horikita Suzune also has no standing, which will only make things more troublesome.
"Everyone, stop it."
Wang Mei-Yu covered her small mouth, her eyes brimming with tears as she choked up.
Starting from the thirteenth vote.
Class D had already fallen into this endless bickering.
Unfortunately.
Ike Kanji was simply impossible to talk to.
He just blindly accused Horikita Suzune, Hirata, Sudo, and the others, pushing all the blame onto them.
Whoever dared to speak, he would scold.
However.
It was precisely such a person.
Who gained the recognition of most of Class D.
After all.
Although he was throwing a tantrum, Ike Kanji's words were based on facts.
The decision was made by Ayanokouji and Horikita Suzune.
They had all already refused.
Why should they be forced to bear the price together?
Sotamura and the others, instead, could better understand Ike Kanji's feelings.
Why should we be expelled while you all reach Class A?
Do they really take them all for fools?
And on the other side.
Ayanokouji watched the scene before him expressionlessly, then glanced at Hirata, who was holding his forehead in pain.
It wasn't hard to understand.
After all, for this exam, as long as an expulsion candidate isn't chosen, there can be no answer.
Since Ike Kanji is unwilling to be expelled, anything said is in vain.
Still.
Ayanokouji was slightly surprised.
He didn't expect Class D would proactively give up on reaching Class A, even to the point of executing their own class leader...
Is this Hikigaya's way of dealing with Class D? It truly gave Ayanokouji a lot to learn.
It's not that things are fine just because they are correct.
Having done something that violates public perception.
When encountering difficulties.
Ike Kanji and the others would still shift the problem onto others.
However.
Existence.
A bunch of rabble gathered together is still just a bunch of rabble.
Ayanokouji was not too worried.
Setting aside the role he played in the last exam, his current evaluation in the class must be very high, and he is certainly an indispensable existence for the class.
Although this isn't safe enough yet.
For instance, the current situation could happen.
However.
Before it even began.
Ayanokouji had already made preparations.
Horikita Suzune, Yukimura, and the others naturally need not be mentioned; as long as it's for the sake of reaching Class A, they should be clear about his current importance.
There's also Hirata on the surface and Miyake Akito in the shadows.
Even if he were sent to the execution platform, both of them would cast opposing votes.
Therefore.
Ayanokouji was not worried at all about the possibility of his own expulsion.
The problem is.
What should be done about this exam?
Ayanokouji turned his head to look at Horikita Suzune; from this angle, he could only see her head lowered, hands resting on her legs, clenching her fists.
That things would evolve into such a result.
Did indeed make Ayanokouji feel somewhat surprised.
But.
"Horikita... is it going to end like this?"
Ayanokouji thought expressionlessly.
Although now is not yet the time for a counterattack, Horikita Suzune's expression didn't look like she was thinking about a counterattack.
In Ayanokouji's eyes.
Ike Kanji's heart was already no different from collapsed.
The biggest difference between Ike Kanji and his group versus Horikita Suzune and hers.
Is not just the strength in academic and physical ability; what's most important is the gap at the mental level.
This exam.
Has only six voting opportunities left, which is one hour.
While Yukimura feels the pressure, it's impossible for Sotamura and the others not to feel it; it's not like there's no way to break through the current predicament.
Just let him witness.
The conclusion of the contest between Hikigaya and Horikita Suzune...
