Soon.
Under a strange atmosphere.
The final vote officially began.
Whether to expel [Ike Kanji].
Looking at the exam content on the screen, Ike Kanji's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of needle points; he had been forcibly sent up as a candidate.
Perceiving this.
Ike Kanji suddenly became calm.
Because saying anything else was meaningless; it couldn't change everyone's will.
On the other side.
Horikita Suzune sat in her seat.
The fingers holding the tablet trembled slightly.
Setting aside others for now, after all they were just a rabble that would easily be moved by a small petty profit.
Then.
How should she choose? Is she going to let Ike Kanji be expelled?
Although Ike Kanji was just roaring most of the time, his words still echoed in her ears.
Ike Kanji did not want to be expelled.
She had unknowingly become a leader loathed by everyone.
Sotomura and others not wanting to rise to A must be a lie.
However.
It was also a fact that she was not needed by the class.
But.
Somewhere in her heart.
She still wanted to graduate from Class A.
Until this moment, Horikita Suzune finally confirmed.
Wanting to graduate from Class A was not for everyone, but for herself.
Soon.
The exam results were out.
The result of the twenty-second vote.
In Favor: 37 votes; Opposed: 0 votes.
Looking at the result on the screen.
Most of Class D lowered their gazes in some fear, not daring to let their expressions be perceived.
Perhaps they were bewitched by Ayanokouji.
Perhaps like Yukimura and Horikita, they wanted to rise to Class A.
Perhaps like Wang Mei-Yu, they simply hoped the exam would end quickly.
Perhaps they accidentally clicked the wrong thing.
Perhaps they actually already hated Ike Kanji very much.
Perhaps they felt Ike Kanji's performance was truly disgusting.
Perhaps it was for Ike Kanji's own good, to let him enter society and accumulate work experience a step ahead.
In short.
Everyone reached a consensus.
But some people also stole a look at Ike Kanji, only to find that he was actually showing a slightly bitter smile.
"A unanimous consensus has been reached, the exam is over."
Chabashira Sae said with a businesslike attitude, her gaze looking at Ike Kanji with complexity.
"Ike, go to the office to handle the procedures after school. Today, you all may return."
"Sorry, Kanji..."
Shinohara's smile was somewhat stiff as she said:
"I still want to rise to Class A after all. But, what Ayanokouji said also makes sense."
"Expulsion isn't necessarily a bad thing, you can also accumulate social experience early and earn money."
"After you go out, you also have to work hard. It's less than a year until graduation; remember to come and pick me up then."
Being able to reach a unanimous consensus.
As the girlfriend, Shinohara must have also cast a vote in favor.
Therefore, she also had to take the initiative to speak and salvage her evaluation.
It was just a lack of strength.
Even if the reason was pushed onto Ayanokouji, saying it was for Ike Kanji's own good.
It's just that this kind of self-righteous thinking only feels disgusting to smart people.
"It's already enough."
Hearing this, Ike Kanji laughed bitterly.
"Actually, I've always known, Shinohara-san. You actually don't like me at all, right? After all, my grades aren't good, I'm not handsome, and I'm also relatively short. It's too normal to be unpopular."
"It's not like that..."
Shinohara didn't know what to say either.
Whatever was said felt false.
At this time.
Horikita Suzune walked up to Ike Kanji.
Seeing Ike Kanji's calm face, Horikita Suzune felt a wave of guilt for no reason, and she lowered her head and said:
"Ike-kun, I'm sorry. You were right. Actually, it's I myself who want to rise to Class A. I'm sorry for failing to become a leader you could trust. It's fine even if you resent me, you have that right."
"..."
Ike Kanji felt calm for no reason.
Perhaps because long before the exam started, he had already imagined such an ending, so his heart had some expectation.
Back when Sakura Airi was expelled, he should have anticipated it. It was simply too normal that it would be his turn next.
He had already done his best; the result wouldn't change at all.
However.
Ike Kanji was not as gentle as Sakura Airi.
"Hehe... Resentment? I won't do something like that. I feel like there won't be another chance to meet in the future, right?"
Ike Kanji turned his head to look at the people in the class; no one dared to meet his eyes, just like his former self.
At this moment.
They probably felt extremely awkward, hoping he could leave quickly.
"It's truly the best class... I still have to handle the procedures. Farewell."
Ike Kanji gave a sneer, picked up his school bag, turned, and left the class.
Looking at Horikita Suzune again was like looking at a stranger.
Perhaps.
This is what it means for grief to be greater than a dead heart.
After all, he himself only understood Sakura Airi's feelings at the moment of expulsion, so he couldn't really blame people like Horikita Suzune.
Being in such a class, it was just something that couldn't be helped; it was his own fault for holding hope in them.
His past self.
Must have inadvertently done many hurtful things as well.
Perhaps.
What Ayanokouji said also had a bit of truth.
Leaving this class might really be a good thing.
After going out, just find another school and start over.
This time.
He definitely wouldn't be as willful and only consider himself as before.
"I didn't expect his performance would be even calmer than imagined."
Ayanokouji walked to Horikita Suzune's side, looking at Ike Kanji's back with some surprise.
After all.
That was Ike Kanji, yet he was expelled so calmly.
It really surprised him a bit; he didn't know what he was thinking, but there might never be an answer.
"Yeah..."
Horikita Suzune was still staring at Ike Kanji's back.
There was no hatred, nor was there the comfort and understanding like Sakura Airi.
However, for some reason.
Such disregard actually made Horikita Suzune feel even worse, as if being viewed as a completely irrelevant stranger.
Horikita Suzune murmured a question:
"Ayanokouji, is doing this really right?"
"If you don't care about A it's one thing, but if you want to avoid failure and rise to A, this is also the most rational choice. After all, it's something that can't be helped; you should be very clear about that, right?"
Ayanokouji responded expressionlessly.
From today.
Horikita Suzune should have become unable to serve as a leader, but her academic ability and physical ability were still one of Class D's important combat assets.
"I guess so..."
Horikita Suzune's expression was complicated.
Rationally she knew there was no problem with what Ayanokouji said, but for some reason, this didn't seem to be the answer she wanted.
Horikita Suzune looked back at the class.
Everyone kept their heads down; if they accidentally met her gaze, they would leave the class with an awkward smile. Perhaps tomorrow would be just like the past.
Ike Kanji's expulsion won't result in any changes.
Nor will it make relationships awkward.
There might be some issues for the first few days, but as long as they maintain a sense of distance from each other, this period of time will eventually pass.
She just felt like something was wrong.
On the other side.
Yukimura's expression was calm without a hint of surprise.
Passing the exam made his heart breathe a sigh of relief, while at the same time he was a bit down.
Sure enough, whether it was Horikita Suzune, Ayanokouji, or Ike Kanji, it didn't matter.
As long as he himself could be saved, it was fine...
However.
Such a feeling was not pleasant.
But Yukimura still stepped forward with a solemn face; this was perhaps the part of his heart that was not yet mature enough.
Whether it was academic ability or physical stamina.
As long as he could be more excellent, as long as he could rise to A, it was fine.
Others didn't matter!
