This is classmate Ryuji Kanzaki in the class.
If Ichinose is the squad leader, then Kanzaki is the deputy squad leader.
Unlike the extroverted Honami Ichinose who uses affinity, popularity, and charisma to make everyone recognize her, Kanzaki is more introverted.
But now, he must also work hard for this class.
In other words, this may be the most valuable thing he can do.
The atmosphere in this class is very good.
If it's outside, it must be very comfortable.
Everyone is very loving and there will be no arguments or anything like that.
But.
Now here is High School of Advanced Education, it won't work like this.
Along the way, everyone was being beaten.
It is getting farther and farther away from Class A, and even Class C and Class D have their outstanding features.
As for their class, they cannot move forward.
He thought about this.
He also tried hard.
Ichinose He wants to do what they can't do. Ichinose They won't become evil, but he can become evil, such as hiring spies from other classes, etc.
I hope that I can gain an advantage in class confrontation at a certain time.
However, after experiencing Forest Camping Exam, he found that his struggle had become meaningless.
Because there is no way to beat it.
Can't beat Class A.
He spent money to support spies in both Class C and Class D, and among them, Class D also had the final result of the exam yesterday.
The list of students who will drop out of school has been decided.
And from his sense of smell, he found that this was definitely not the idea of the student Class D, but the control of other classes, most likely the students of Class A.
In other words.
What he fell into and what he wanted to do was what Class A already had, or even something better and stronger that Class A could do.
In addition, Class A also has the unfathomable classmate Oreki, and Classmate Sakayanagi who often eats with him.
So Ryuji Kanzaki can't help but feel sad about Class B's future.
Because, to sum up, Class B no longer has the attack power to charge upward.
Rather.
In the end, I may be able to barely hold on to the position of Class B and graduate.
And this was the result he accepted after thinking about it for two nights.
But.
Some things still have to be said.
After all.
There is no hope of rushing to A, but in this state, maintaining Class B may also lead to crisis.
So.
Everyone must be more awakened.
Guard your Class B position.
So.
"Although I don't like this exam, I will accept it. At the same time, I have no objection to the exam plan decided by everyone."
Kanzaki Stand up.
"But."
"Please remember this too."
"We spent these 20 million points, which means that the points we saved will be squandered."
"Then, when we encounter dangerous exams, we will have no barrier to resist the risk." Kanzaki said. "So I hope everyone will think deeply about the meaning of these 20 million."
In other words, is 20 million points more important or a companion?
"But, if it is not to cope with this unreasonable test, then why do we still save points?" However, a classmate said this.
"Yeah. I don't want to vote for my classmate to drop out of school." Some students also said this.
"If, if I had not been demoted in Sports Festival but had received points, maybe it wouldn't be as miserable as it is now--" Someone else said this.
This is Sunshine's classmate Shibata.
But after Sports Festival, his condition became not so sunny.
Often autistic.
"Oh no, classmate Shibata, we are not talking about what happened at that time, and there was no solution at that time. I couldn't imagine that someone would cheat."
"So don't take it too seriously." The students then began to comfort Shibata.
And Kanzaki has already sat down.
Because he has done what he can do.
Spend 20 million to protect your classmates and let everyone understand the weight of this choice.
In other words.
Anyone who stays is worth 20 million to them.
Then even if you face the temptation of other classes, you can resist it.
Because it is impossible for other classes to offer more than 20 million points to buy people, but their own class is willing to spend 20 million to protect everyone.
In this case, the only advantage of Class B can be protected, that is, there will be no spies and it is a cohesive group.
Finally.
Arrived at Class 1-A.
"Temporarily borrowing ten minutes from the class meeting."
After arriving in the classroom early in the morning, classmate Oreki took away Teacher Majima's podium table.
But Teacher Majima is not like Chabashira, where the podium was taken away and then sat on the opponent's chair.
Instead, he stood aside with his hands folded.
Oreki classmate said.
"First of all, this test is unreasonable."
"But since I have become a student of this school and accepted the materials paid by this school, I have the advantage of being assigned Class A."
"Then what we can do is complete the task according to the rules."
"So take this test, pick the first one, and then pick the last one."
"At the same time, judging from the rules, I don't think this exam is just a hurried exam that suddenly came out."
"More like a beginning."
"Because although there will be dropouts in the exam, the first place in each class will be selected to get [protection]."
"In the history of this school, no one has ever been able to collect 20 million points alone and then be rewarded with skipping a class or being exempted from the penalty of dropping out of school."
"So."
"Is it really reasonable for the school to launch four such quotas at once to exempt students from dropping out?"
"So, my preference is that the next exam in the school will be a deprivation exam for these four [protections]."
"Then choosing who will be the target of [protection] and then directing everyone to take the next exam need to be carefully considered." Oreki said.
In other words, is Oreki thinking about the overall situation?
And this is true.
It seems that most of the classes and students are thinking about dropping out last.
However, for this class, the next exam also needs attention.
Rather.
If [protection] exists, then the risk of the next exam will also become very high.
You really have to be careful.
And classmate Oreki said,
"So, my proposal is consistent with Classmate Sakayanagi's proposal a few days ago, and there will be no changes."
"This time, the target of Appreciation Vote in our class is Classmate Sakayanagi."
"The one who dropped out chose classmate Totsuka."
"This is my proposal, and I hope everyone can abide by it."
"Classmate Sakayanagi will lead us to make contributions in the next exam." said classmate Oreki.
"Ara... I have been nominated." The little cutie whose name was called also stood up and expressed her determination in cooperation, "However, if everyone chooses me, as a student of Class A, wouldn't it be natural to maintain the advantage of Class A?"
That is to say.
The mangosteen is full of energy.
"..." Katsuragi.
Katsuragi is silent now.
Although he is a conservative and stable person, since Oreki pointed out the value of [protection], then I am afraid that the score in the next exam will not be too small.
The current class has about 1200 points more than Class B.
This was an advantage that he was not confident of fully holding on to.
So he remained silent.
The other students who were paying attention to him understood that the first place Class A had been selected.
So now that the first place has been chosen.
"And the last one is here." Student Oreki added.
"So out of humanity, I suggest that everyone in the class pay 10,000 points to those who are expelled."
"Generally speaking, when third graders graduate, the school will purchase the students' points and convert them into cash in proportion."
"For those who have been expelled from school, their mobile phones and remaining Private Points will be recycled."
"So, I suggest that before you drop out of school, student Totsuka, you can entrust your points to Katsuragi first."
"When you graduate from the third grade, Katsuragi will be responsible for converting these points into cash."
"At that time, classmate Totsuka, you can ask Katsuragi to cash it in." Houtarou Oreki said. "Or, don't you believe in Katsuragi's character?"
"..."
Don't you believe in Katsuragi's character?
Do you believe in the character of Katsuragi?
Of course.
Because this is the person he follows.
But.
If this happens, doesn't it mean that he is about to drop out of school?
