Arisu Sakayanagi is a very strong-willed girl who refuses to be inferior to anyone in any aspect; it is precisely this delicate yet resilient personality that has attracted so many people.
Now, Arisu Sakayanagi was actually supporting Tsukur Kijima without the slightest hesitation?
Why?
Feeling the gazes of the crowd, Arisu Sakayanagi smiled with a hint of amusement:
"Just as Kijima-kun said, if the information from earlier is true, electing a leader is a certainty. It is more efficient and maximizes the strength of the collective. Naturally, I believe Kijima-kun possesses such ability."
Although she said that.
The others still felt a bit put off, but since Arisu Sakayanagi had already agreed, the few friends close to her couldn't say much.
After all, Judging by his performance over the past few days, Although Tsukur Kijima was a bit strange, his ability was beyond doubt.
The remaining people looked toward their center, where Kohei Katsuragi frowned. He wasn't someone obsessed with power.
In fact.
Back in the Student Council, Katsuragi had been very clear that Tsukur Kijima's ability was definitely superior to his own.
As long as he could lead everyone to victory, Katsuragi had no objections.
"I have no objections either, but I..."
As he spoke, Katsuragi hesitated, then adjusted his tone. He looked at Tsukur Kijima with a solemn expression and said:
"I have a question. According to what you just said, some special exams will result in expulsions. What will you do when that happens?"
"Rest assured, I will avoid expulsions to the best of my ability."
"Then I have no objections."
Hearing Tsukur Kijima's promise, Katsuragi breathed a sigh of relief.
He naturally knew.
It was highly unlikely that there would be zero expulsions.
As long as he did his utmost to protect his companions and did not treat them as sacrifices, that was enough.
"Ah...?"
Miki Yamamura, standing to the side, let out an involuntary exclamation of surprise, then her face flushed red. She breathed a sigh of relief only after realizing no one was looking at her.
What was going on?
Tsukur Kijima barely knew anyone.
And he just became the leader that easily?
This had to be fake.
What kind of sick joke was this?
Arisu Sakayanagi, sitting in the center of the classroom, had the corners of her mouth curled upward.
She wanted to make Tsukur Kijima the leader of the class, only to crush him thoroughly later!
While there was an element of playfulness to it, more importantly, such a rule would be more stable.
She was born with a weak heart and limited mobility in her legs.
No matter how much those around her cared for her, liked her, or were willing to look after her, such an appearance made it difficult to command respect!
Although no one would say it out loud, it was the truth!
She would always be viewed as the weak one, and to stand at the pinnacle, she had to put in far more effort than others!
It appeared that between Kohei Katsuragi and Tsukur Kijima, Tsukur Kijima had emerged victorious.
Then.
What she had to do was ensure Tsukur Kijima suffered a defeat.
Only then, Would the people of Class A know that she, Arisu Sakayanagi, was the strongest!
Only then could she properly toy with this chess piece!
Feeling Arisu Sakayanagi's gaze, Tsukur Kijima didn't care what she was thinking. He held up one finger and said indifferently:
"Now then, this is the first order!"
"I will make this information public to the entire first year."
Tsukur Kijima said calmly.
Since he had decided to have the entire first year promote to Class A to prove the school's system was flawed, he naturally couldn't keep this information to himself.
As for falling out of Class A or being surpassed by other classes, what would happen?
Kijima Tsukur had never considered such questions.
Such thoughts would not even cross his mind; he maintained absolute confidence in his own strength.
No matter what kind of special exam it was.
As long as he wanted to win, the person who would ultimately win would definitely be him!
No matter what kind of difficulties he faced, the person who would ultimately achieve victory would definitely be him.
This was a destiny that needed no questioning!
However, Kijima Tsukur's words immediately left everyone in Class A in a state of shock; whether it was Yamamura Miki, who was familiar with him, or Sakayanagi Arisu, Katsuragi, and the others, everyone wore a look of bewilderment.
Because, At this moment, everyone in Class A had the same thought.
Did they hear him correctly just now?
"Wait a minute, wait a minute?"
Hashimoto Masayoshi hurriedly stood up, wearing an expression that said "what are you talking about," and said:
"Kijima, what did you just say?"
"I said, I will disclose this information to the entire first year."
Only then.
The people of Class A were convinced they hadn't misheard, and the entire class immediately fell into a commotion. Hashimoto Masayoshi slammed the table, his expression looking rather unpleasant, as he made one last effort:
"Kijima, assuming the information you just mentioned is all true, you know that only by graduating from Class A can one have the opportunity to choose their career freely, right?"
"Yes!"
"And you also know that we are currently undergoing a certain special exam, and this exam is likely related to class points?"
"Yes!"
"Wait a minute, wait a minute..."
Hashimoto Masayoshi was even more confused, his entire demeanor becoming somewhat flustered.
"Then do you know that if you disclose this information, it will likely affect the conduct of other classes, and they might achieve better results than they would have otherwise?"
"Naturally, I know."
Kijima Tsukur leaned back in his chair and said indifferently:
"No need to ask me; I know what you all want to say. I have made this judgment with a full understanding of everything."
"Are you kidding me?"
After a brief silence, Hashimoto Masayoshi suddenly became angry, feeling as though he had been severely betrayed.
Just a moment ago, he had been a supporter of Kijima Tsukur becoming the leader.
If Sakayanagi Arisu hadn't taken the lead, Hashimoto Masayoshi had originally intended to be the first to support Kijima Tsukur.
There was no other reason.
Katsuragi Kohei and Sakayanagi Arisu were too ordinary; although they had some strength, they both seemed somewhat mediocre and were easily seen through.
On the contrary, a freak with strength like Kijima Tsukur was harder to see through and easier to win Hashimoto Masayoshi's support.
But now, This guy had just become the leader of Class A, and in the next breath, he wanted to disclose the information.
Hashimoto Masayoshi couldn't understand it at all.
The minister is about to fight to the death, so why has Your Majesty surrendered first?
It wasn't just Hashimoto Masayoshi who couldn't understand; the others were equally confused. Katsuragi remained silent for a moment before asking in a deep voice:
"Kijima, although you said just now that you wouldn't accept questioning, I feel that I still have to ask: why do this?"
"Rest assured, I will naturally tell you the reason."
This time, Kijima Tsukur did not directly refuse; after all, this concerned the general direction of Class A and had to be explained.
"Because my goal is ALL-A! To have everyone graduate from Class A, the more class points each class has, the better, naturally."
"..."
The entire class instantly fell into a dead silence.
Everyone looked at the man on the podium with astonishment.
ALL-A?
The entire first year graduating from Class A?
"Kijima, is there any other information you haven't told us?"
Katsuragi asked in a deep voice, his first reaction being that there was other information and other possibilities that existed.
Otherwise.
This line of thinking was impossible, and anyone could see that without even needing to dwell on it.
"None!"
Kijima Tsukur did not hide anything: "This is all the information I currently have."
As soon as these words were spoken.
Class A immediately fell into a state of commotion.
There was no other possibility; it was simply that Kijima Tsukur wanted everyone to graduate from Class A.
"I object!"
Just then, Sakayanagi Arisu raised her hand, though there was no anger on her face, only her usual composed smile:
"I don't know what gives Kijima-kun such confidence, perhaps he really does have the ability, but I personally feel that as Class A, we have no need to concern ourselves with other classes. We only need to consider how to maintain our leading position as Class A."
"That's right, I agree with what Sakayanagi said."
"Exactly, we aren't even close with them, why should we have to consider the other classes?"
"That's it! Avoiding information leaks and focusing on our classes, waiting for the school to announce the class points—that is the only correct course of action!"
"I agree with that point as well, and I do not support Kijima's method."
"Rather than not supporting it, it's more like a rejection. Only a fool would hand over their own advantages to others!"
"Exactly!"
Sakayanagi Arisu's words quickly gained everyone's approval.
After all, even an idiot should understand that keeping secrets was the most advantageous choice for them. With everyone chiming in, Class A quickly and completely rejected Kijima Tsukur's idea.
Down below, the corners of Sakayanagi Arisu's mouth curled up slightly.
