The New Class A Is Dumbfounded

Aoyama yawned widely, half-closed Aoyama eyes as he walked into the classroom, ignoring the oppressive atmosphere, and sat down at his seat, slumping over his desk.

Starting today, Class 1-A has officially been demoted to Class 1-C. It's normal that the atmosphere in the class is depressing. They went from being full of confidence to hitting rock bottom in just a few months.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. I just had a sweet dream all night."

When the Yamamura came to check on him, Aoyama raised his hand and shook it to indicate that he was alright, then put it down again to catch up on his sleep.

Ichinose, who frequently goes to the gym, is far more powerful than the frail Yamamura. It took him a long time to break Ichinose down and make him beg for mercy.

[Class A: 1323]

[Class B: 1212]

[Class C: 1040]

[Class D: 376]

As the morning bell rang, Mashima Tomoya, who never smiled, walked into the classroom at a leisurely pace and, as was his custom on the first of each month, wrote down the Class Points on the whiteboard.

A horizontal line was drawn under Class C.

"From today onwards, you are students in Class 1-C. As for whether you can return to Class A, that depends on your own efforts."

After calmly encouraging his students, Mashima looked towards Aoyama's location.

As the class advisor, he couldn't possibly be unaware that the class leader had been replaced by Aoyama. Now that they had been demoted to Class C, the class leader couldn't very well not say anything or hold a class meeting.

Simply drawing up some grand goals and setting some modest targets can boost the class's low morale.

Are you fucking sleeping?! This is the first day of school! What kind of class leader are you? Even if morning class isn't a formal class, you can't act like this.

Mashima's lips twitched slightly, and he silently withdrew his gaze from Aoyama.

His initial expectations for Aoyama to fight bravely and lead the class forward had largely vanished.

Meanwhile, the original Class B classroom, now bearing the Class A nameplate, was...

On the podium, Hoshinomiya Chie, waved her arms excitedly like a child, congratulating her lovely students on becoming students in Class A.

Just thinking about Chabashira's gloomy expression that morning made her incredibly happy.

Then, with the same thought as Mashima, she looked at the new leader of Class A, her most beloved child, Ichinose Honami.

Unlike Aoyama, who disappointed Mashima, Ichinose, under Hoshinomiya's pleased gaze, smiled as she stood up from her seat and confidently walked to the podium to lead the class meeting on the first day of school.

The students will probably be quite shocked.

With an extremely gentle expression, Ichinose glanced around the classroom without any nervousness, and showed no unease despite the various expressions on her classmates' faces.

Last night, after becoming one with Aoyama, we hugged each other before falling asleep. Aoyama played a recording for her of his mother and sister's thoughts on that incident.

She thought she hadn't forgiven her sister yet, but she had already forgiven her and hoped she would be happy. Her mother not only didn't blame her, but also apologized for her impulsive behavior at the time.

The one who should be apologizing is her, the one who acted recklessly.

But to leave three million in cash for the family, is Aoyama planning to buy her out? Or is it a pre-wedding settlement?

Anyone who saw her could clearly sense the happiness on her face, Ichinose slowly opened her mouth.

"Everyone, there's something I feel I must tell you..."

Let's go back to Class D's classroom before the morning class.

With a gentle, angelic smile, Kushida entered the classroom and had barely sat down when she was surrounded by girls who looked at her with concern.

First, there was Sakayanagi holding hands and playing intimately, then there was Shiina going out as a couple on the last day of summer vacation. Until the end of summer vacation, they did not receive any news that Kushida had gone out to play with Aoyama.

This just doesn't look right at all.

"We've already broken up with Aoyama -kun."

"That person is really too much of a womanizer."

Faced with his friends' concerned inquiries, Kushida suppressed his anger and put on a gloomy expression.

"Kikyo, you'll definitely find someone better."

"Losing Kikyo is a loss for Aoyama -kun."

"It's all Aoyama -kun's fault."

Kushida finished saying he wanted to break up, the girls surrounding him offered their condolences with varying expressions, whether they were sincere or not was another matter.

He excels academically, is tall and handsome, and also dominates the Special Exam. Putting aside his philandering, Aoyama is undoubtedly the best boy in the first year.

When they learned that Kushida had become Aoyama's girlfriend, they felt a pang of jealousy.

And even now, a sense of schadenfreude is beginning to emerge.

"I'm fine. Morning class is about to start, and Chabashira-sensei will be here soon. You should all go back to your seats." Sensing the insincerity of a few people, Kushida sneered inwardly, but outwardly appeared disappointed as he advised them to calm down.

I arrived at the classroom a little before the morning class because I didn't want to be laughed at again.

"You lot, get back to your seats."

Chabashira walked into the classroom with a dark expression, and as Kushida had hoped, she sent the girl next to her back to her seat. Then, on the whiteboard, she wrote down the changes in the Class Points for each class.

The order of the other three classes changed, but Class D did not; they remained in last place.

However, compared to August, they gained a little more Class Points, though not much, and it was far less than the increase in the original Class B and Class C.

Of the four classes, only their class had no students with more than 1,000 points.

The thought that students in other classes received over 100,000 yen while they only received over 30,000 yen made them feel disappointed and dissatisfied with Horikita Suzune.

It's not that Horikita Suzune didn't perform well in the Paper Shuffle Special Exam; they could probably have earned over 50,000 yen, at least half of what other classes earned.

"Haruki, shouldn't you be complaining about Horikita right now?"

Amidst the murmurs in the classroom, Kanji Ike, somewhat surprised, struck up a conversation with Yamauchi. This was a perfect opportunity to criticize Horikita Suzune; based on his understanding of Yamauchi, he shouldn't be so quiet right now.

"Kanji, don't talk nonsense. I'm very satisfied with Horikita being the leader; I wholeheartedly agree with him."

Under the look of "What are you saying, Kanji Ike?", Yamauchi glanced at the indifferent Horikita Suzune and continued his cheesy praise.

It wasn't that he'd taken the wrong medicine today; it was that he now knew that the only one who could save him, this 'criminal,' was Horikita, who held over ten million personal points.

Damn it, Aoyama Shiki, damn it, Miyabi Nagumo, why did you two have to drag me into this Student Council President election?

Damn it, damn it! How dare you deceive me, Master Yamauchi!

Yamauchi Horikita, who finally looked at him with confusion.

Chapter 213 The Stunned New Class A

Hearing Yamauchi Haruki's extremely sycophantic remarks, Horikita Suzune felt no joy at all.

Based on her understanding of the Yamauchi, the more he fawns over her now, the more serious the trouble he's caused must be.

The first day of school was already chaotic; it's really infuriating.

"Excuse me, there's something I'd like to do that might take up your time."

It was supposed to be Horikita's turn to lead the class meeting, but Hirata stood on the podium with a somewhat troubled smile.

As if she had expected this, Chabashira-sensei stepped back from the podium, a mocking expression on her cold face, whether directed at the class or at Hirata, was unclear.

"I'm the leader of Class D. Hirata, you should have told me beforehand if there's anything you need to say." Sensing that the matter was likely related to Yamauchi, Horikita quickly stood up and walked step by step toward the podium.

Hirata is up to something.

Having witnessed Aoyama's brilliant scheme against Nagumo, she quickly realized that Hirata intended to pressure her by involving the class, potentially leading to a major disaster for Yamauchi.

Onodera stopped Horikita from approaching the podium, saying, "I think you should let Hirata finish speaking first."

Hirata bowed and pleaded with her, and she stepped forward even though she was unwilling.

"In fact, one of our students was framed by older students and given enough evidence to warrant expulsion. I believe—"

"That person is Yamauchi, right? I think Yamauchi dropping out is a good thing for the class."

Across from Onodera, Horikita shouted coldly at Hirata on the stage, his voice loud enough for the entire class to hear.

Upon hearing that Hirata was about to drop out of school, mentioning the legendary Yamauchi Haruki, most of the sympathy that had arisen in the Class D students vanished instantly.

Confused by Horikita's quick reaction this time, Hirata spoke urgently, "Yamauchi was framed this time."

He was also a little annoyed that Yamauchi had caused trouble again, but Yamauchi was still a member of Class D, and he would protect Yamauchi from being expelled as long as he could.

"During the last Paper Shuffle Special Exam, Yamauchi disobeyed and acted without permission, resulting in the class losing fifty Class Points." Horikita shoved Onodera aside without any politeness.

"In terms of academic ability and athletic ability, Yamauchi is at the bottom of the class. Coupled with his disobedience, I don't think there's any point in keeping him."

She helped Sudo when Sudo was framed, all because Sudo's academic performance was weak, but his athletic ability was the best in the class. The Sports Festival in early October would be his time to shine.

"Since it's enough to warrant expulsion, the other party must have made very high demands."

"Those who agree to use a large portion of the class funds, and raise more funds if necessary, to save Yamauchi, please stand up."

With her hands braced on the desk, Horikita Suzune preemptively forced the students in her class, who hadn't been significantly influenced by Hirata, to make a choice immediately.

She pointed out that since it involved the interests of the students in the class, she didn't think many people, especially the girls, would actually stand up to support Yamauchi.

"I think it's better to hear their offer first, and then let the students decide whether to help or not." Ayanokoji stood up expressionlessly, giving Hirata a helpful assist.

The key figures on the girls' side were all more or less influenced by Aoyama's remote control.

He wanted to increase his influence in the class, and the boys were the best target.

"Yes, I think personal points can be earned back, but once you lose your classmates, you can never get them back."

Hirata immediately picked up where Ayanokoji, and continued speaking, portraying Yamauchi as a tragic victim to evoke sympathy from his classmates.

Through Hirata's words, the students of Class D also learned what kind of foolish thing Yamauchi had done.

In short, it's about how Yamauchi summer vacation, and through gradual seduction, Yamauchi turned him into her devoted follower. Then, last night in the girls' dormitory, she set him up in a honey trap.

The so-called beautiful senior is from Class 2-A.

The one who made the offer to Hirata was Mizowaki, a student in Class 2-A and a member of the Student Council.

The condition is Twenty Million Personal Points, but valuable items can make up for the 10 million people short of Class D.

"You're dreaming, Hirata."

After Hirata finished stating his conditions, Horikita spoke in an unquestionable tone.

What is of value to Class 2-A is undoubtedly the forty ballots held by Class D for the election of the next Student Council President.

Putting aside the fact that Yamauchi is not worth ten million to save, simply supporting Nagumo to become the Student Council President is an idea that goes against her brother's wishes.

Yamauchi stood up and shouted, "I'm a victim too! I'll listen to you from now on, Horikita- kun!"

"No one here will believe you. Your presence is a weakness for Class D. If you have any self-awareness, you'd better drop out of school."

With his brows furrowed, Horikita felt an urge to give up.

First it Sakayanagi, then Nagumo; they all chose to use Yamauchi, which only shows that Yamauchi's stupidity has become infamous, and keeping him around would only be an obstacle to his promotion to A.

"I disagree with Horikita's statement."

Hirata then began to defend Yamauchi, pleading with his students to speak up for him, while Yamauchi openly and privately messaged his friends to support Hirata.

After Hirata directly asked Kushida for his opinion and received his agreement, the situation gradually shifted in favor of saving Yamauchi.

"I have all the individual points. As long as there is even one student who disagrees, I will not agree." Horikita gave Hirata a cold glance and went straight back to his seat.

"I am the class leader, Hirata Yosuke."

She gave in this time, but there will definitely be a next time.

All the personal points are in her hands.

As long as she persists in not cooperating, Hirata cannot force her to hand it over by the principle of majority rule.

If all 39 students except her unanimously demanded that she produce it, then she would accept it.

"I don't think I'm fit to be the class monitor of Class B —no, Class A anymore."

As the dispute in Class D temporarily subsided, Ichinose, having finished recounting her theft experience, dropped a bombshell amidst the strange looks from her classmates.

"We believe in Xiao Fanbo," Kobashi Yume shouted without hesitation, standing up as she did so.

She would never allow anyone to say that Ichinose was unsuitable to be the class representative of Class A, not even Ichinose herself.
