3rd Year Class D.
The 10th voting result.
[Question 4: Randomly select one person to receive a free Class Transfer opportunity.]
30 Approve; 8 Oppose.
The "Approve" votes began to gradually erode the opposition.
It was a matter of course.
After all, as Yukimura said, there were only benefits to approving and no downsides; whether to transfer or not was entirely up to the individual.
Thinking rationally, the reason to oppose did not exist.
The only ones reacting were Sudou and Hirata.
"Wait, why vote 'Approve'? Think about it some more!"
Sudou was genuinely a bit angry.
Although he had an extremely explosive temper, people like Sudou were the most loyal, and he deeply felt a sense of being betrayed.
Setting Yukimura aside for now.
Sudou also knew he didn't have many people he associated with in class.
But Ike Kanji and the others were clearly friends, clearly brothers, yet they also chose to approve.
Even if the person who gets the transfer right isn't necessarily themselves.
They were still gambling on that sliver of possibility.
"Kanji, Sotomura..."
Sudou said somewhat angrily: "Do you guys think it's okay to leave the class like this? Aren't we friends?"
"Ken, calm down. It's not necessarily us who get the transfer voucher, and even if we're in different classes, we're still friends, right?"
"This..."
Hearing this.
Sudou could not refute.
He originally wanted to ask if their friendship was only to this extent, but he was asked back: Is our friendship only to this extent?
Even if they were apart.
They would still be friends!
It's just that this "friend" sounded cheap.
"Horikita."
Yukimura was truly a bit puzzled: "It's already been half an hour. Why do you keep insisting on opposing?"
Even if you want to convince them.
You need a reason, right?
However.
Aside from the emotional card, Horikita Suzune really couldn't pull out a suitable reason.
Even if it were Hirata, he would be somewhat lost at this moment.
Even if he wanted to persuade.
He had no suitable excuse; trying to play the emotional card would even make people feel ridiculous.
However.
Yukimura, standing on the position of absolute rationality, was invincible right now.
After all, aside from emotions, there was indeed no reason that could refute it; even Ayanokouji leaned toward voting "Approve."
If it was for the sake of rising to A.
This was indeed a good choice, especially since whether to transfer or not could be decided later depending on the situation.
As long as the class produced tangible results, this task had almost no effect.
"I see..."
After a long while.
Horikita Suzune finally nodded.
She knew they couldn't continue to be at a stalemate like this.
"Then everyone, vote 'Approve.' Although we lost the last special exam, our class is still the one that has increased Class Points the most over these two years. I firmly believe that in the end, it will be us who rise to A."
After saying this.
Horikita Suzune sat back in her seat.
She didn't know if saying this would work, but after all, it was the truth.
Class D was still the class that had increased Class Points the most within these two years, and Ayanokouji and Kouenji were gradually showing their strength.
Although she didn't know the reason for those two's actions, at least the class was moving in a good direction now.
As long as she was strong enough.
As long as she could keep Class D's hope of rising to A alive.
The transfer voucher should also be a meaningless thing.
Having understood this.
Horikita Suzune breathed a slight sigh of relief; she would have to work even harder from now on.
The eleventh voting result.
38 Approve; 0 Oppose.
Chabashira Sae said a few simple words.
The podium screen then displayed everyone's names, with a red light flashing back and forth between each name.
Finally.
It stopped on Wang Meiyu's position.
Gazing at the scene before them, Kanji and the others felt slightly unreconciled.
Chabashira Sae turned to look at Wang Meiyu with a complex expression.
"Then it's decided that Wang-dougaku receives the class transfer right."
"..."
Horikita Suzune also breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it was Wang Meiyu who got the transfer power; she was not only kind-hearted but also more rational.
Most importantly.
Although there was no response, Wang Meiyu seemed to have feelings for Hirata; she likely wouldn't choose to transfer to another class.
After all.
Having such a transfer voucher at this point in time essentially represented a confirmed privilege to graduate from Class A.
Feeling everyone's envious and jealous gazes.
Wang Meiyu glanced at Hirata and quickly began to give her assurance.
"I didn't expect it would be mine. I won't use this transfer voucher."
"It's fine. The ones who graduate from Class A in the end will definitely be us."
Horikita Suzune also gave a serious assurance.
But she didn't know.
The transfer voucher was a poison that appeared harmless.
Soon.
The last task was displayed on the screen...
[Question 5]
[A: Choose one expellee: Reward 300 Class Points.]
[B: Choose two expellees; Reward 600 Class Points.]
[C: Choose three expellees; Reward 900 Class Points.]
[After the choice is made, the expellees will be selected.]
Facing the newly appeared task.
The entire Class D instantly fell into a dead silence, everyone's eyes wide with shock, their minds spinning.
They didn't expect such a task to appear.
"Sensei, stop joking."
Horikita Suzune immediately slammed the table, stood up, and shouted.
"Having to choose an expellee or something—how can the school hold such an unreasonable exam?"
"Yeah, this is too unfair."
Ike Kanji suddenly felt the world go dark.
This was too unfair.
It was exactly what they feared.
If an expellee had to be chosen, then it would likely be him without a doubt.
"Unreasonable? Unfair?"
Chabashira Sae was also somewhat bitter, but her expression remained flat.
"An exam like the class poll happened in the first year, and the Unanimous Vote Exam was held in the second year."
"Furthermore, the other classes are facing the same questions as you; where is the unfairness?"
Horikita Suzune and the others were suddenly silenced.
Everyone faced the same problem.
Naturally, it was fair.
"And..."
Even though it was her job, Chabashira Sae felt bitter.
"You should have known long ago that the expulsion penalty can be canceled by using 20 million Private Points."
"Over the past six months, the school has even given you double Private Points; it shouldn't be hard for even Class D to save three to four million points every month."
"In fact..."
As she spoke.
Chabashira Sae couldn't help but feel a bit complex, as if some knot in her heart was being untied.
Instead.
"It's been three years... You, who have never used a large amount of Private Points, should find it easier than the other classes to save 20 million Private Points. This special exam should actually be more advantageous for Class D."
"Shouldn't it?"
Having been the Class D homeroom teacher for nearly ten years, Chabashira Sae finally understood at this moment.
Where the difference between Class D and the other classes actually lay.
It wasn't a difference in ability.
But something more fundamental.
This class.
Had never truly been united.
