Topic ⑤
Nominate a classmate to be expelled. In exchange, receive 200 class evaluation points.
(If everyone unanimously agrees, the student to be expelled must then be designated and voted on.)
Options: Agree / Oppose
The final topic had the fewest options of all the questions so far—only two.
At first glance, people often assumed that the fewer the options, the easier it was to reach a consensus.
But in reality, the number of options did not have much impact.
Still, the question alone was incredibly stressful.
And.
Just like the third question, it involved class evaluation points.
At the same time.
If they unanimously completed all five of the school's topics within the allotted time, they would receive +100 class evaluation points.
And now, if they completed this question, they could receive another +200 class evaluation points.
But.
The price was that everyone had to unanimously agree to expel one classmate.
"How could they give us a question like this?!"
The instant he saw the question, Midori, who had only just relaxed after the previous one, stood up in shock.
So this really was how it was going to be.
Although Oreki had warned them beforehand, very few people in the class had believed the school would actually make them unanimously agree to expel a classmate.
In the end.
Reality was this cruel—and slapped them in the face.
"Sit down!" Teacher Ogura said. "This is examination time."
However, unlike the previous questions, she did not immediately announce a sixty-second countdown and have the students vote.
Instead, she continued.
"Once you enter society, you will also face difficult choices like this."
"You may have to dismiss your own companions."
"This is a very profound choice."
"It is also a crucial assessment of whether you can advance to Class A."
