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.

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.
