Yamauchi Had Self-Destructed! (Continued)

"I'm sorry, I... I accepted Yamauchi's request for help, and I didn't want to abandon Ayanokoji-kun... that's why I worked so hard as a middleman."

Under everyone's gaze, Kushida's voice, filled with pain, rang out.

"But... I didn't know that Yamauchi had received instructions from Classmate Sakayanagi... No, I was wrong... Because I wanted to help Yamauchi, I didn't realize the seriousness of the situation. I want to take back what I said when I asked everyone for help..."

Although he really wanted to curse Yamauchi to death, Kushida knew very well at this moment that he could only bow his head and admit his mistake, otherwise he would definitely damage his image in other people's eyes.

"Wait, wait a minute! What do you mean?! Breaking the agreement is just too much!"

"The one who broke the agreement first, the one who went too far, is Yamauchi- kun... and, moreover, he actually did something like... betraying his classmate..."

Isolated and helpless, Yamauchi experienced the meaning of this word for the first time. No matter where he looked, he was met with hostile stares.

"You are the least capable person in this class, and you were the first to betray your classmates."

These are my thoughts.

Horikita said this, intending to conclude the topic.

"Finally, could everyone please tell me your opinions? What are your thoughts? Do you agree to select Yamauchi as the student who will drop out of this exam?"

After saying all this, Horikita looked at the students of Class C with some nervousness. Although she had done a lot, even now she still couldn't guarantee that the students would act according to her wishes.

Looking at the somewhat bewildered students below, Horikita understood that he needed someone to push him forward, someone to take the lead and express their opinion.

So, Horikita Suzune turned her gaze to Shuichi Kanda, and Shuichi Kanda, receiving Horikita's gaze, smiled slightly and then decided to lend her a hand.

"I agree."

Shuichi Kanda's speech made all the students turn to look at him, and what came into view was Shuichi Kanda with a smile on his face and his right hand raised.

Upon hearing Shuichi Kanda's answer, the students in the class looked at each other in surprise before raising their hands one after another.

"Hey! This is so weird!? Kanda! Didn't you say you wouldn't designate anyone to drop out?" Seeing the situation gradually turning against him, Yamauchi was losing control of his expression.

"Yes, I didn't designate you as a dropout. I just agreed to Horikita's proposal to drop you out as an ordinary student."

Shuichi Kanda and smiled, "Although I agreed to let you drop out, I didn't stop you from getting Appreciation Vote to avoid dropping out. If you can do it, then go ahead and do it."

Speaking of which, if Yamauchi does manage to stay, who will be expelled this time? Sotomura, or Ike?

Shuichi Kanda expressed his curiosity, while also feeling that things outside of the plan might be interesting.

"However, Yamauchi, don't think that the whole class is bullying you. This is just the price you have to pay. After all, out of these four people, you're the only one who signed two contracts."

The first one was a contract that Shuichi Kanda made Yamauchi sign when Yamauchi first Midterm Exam, with Ayanokoji acting as his intermediary.

The second contract was signed after the incident of secretly filming the swimming pool.

Shuichi Kanda's words seemed to have a wake-up call for Yamauchi, causing him to suddenly go crazy.

"That's right! The person who caused our class to lose 20 million points wasn't me at all, it was Chi, it was Chi who suggested secretly filming the women's changing room!"

Yamauchi blurted out his excited words, and the entire Class C fell silent as a Yamauchi.

"Whoosh~~~~"

Seeing Yamauchi's reckless words, Shuichi Kanda whistled, bringing the Class C members back to their senses.

Those in the know were shocked that Yamauchi dared to reveal this, while those unaware were shocked by the matter itself.

"Haruki, you!"

Of course, the most unexpected person was Yamauchi's good friend, Kanji Ike.

He never expected that Yamauchi would actually reveal this.

Before he could even criticize Yamauchi, the class immediately erupted in chaos.

"Ah!"

"Nausea!"

"How could someone do something like this!?"

"How could you do such a thing! Why don't you just die!?"

The girls in the class were the next to react; they quickly moved away from the four people's seats, some even leaving their seats and running to the side.

They looked at the four people as if they were trash, and some even hugged themselves tightly, trembling with fear in their eyes.

Class C was in chaos for several minutes before gradually calming down.

"To do something so unseemly, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to expel all four of you."

On the boys' side, Koenji immediately expressed his contempt for this behavior.

Afterwards, the other boys also expressed their indignation.

It's just unclear whether this indignation stems from the fact that Chi didn't inform them at the time.

No one doubted its authenticity, since Yamauchi was one of the perpetrators and had no reason to lie at this point.

Furthermore, Shuichi Kanda's attitude proved that what Yamauchi said was true.

"Chi! Did you really do such a thing?"

Among the girls, Shinohara Satsuki, with a livid face, questioned Ike.

Shuichi Kanda knows a little bit about why Shinohara went to complain about it.

Kushida had previously complained to him in his room that Ike and Shinohara both seemed to have feelings for each other, but their mysterious actions had prevented them from taking things any further.

"I..." Chi opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to deny it, but facing the gaze of the entire class, he opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word of explanation.

Then, a look of remorse appeared on his face. "Yes, yes, I was the mastermind behind that..."

At this point, there was no point in trying to argue anymore, so Chi simply admitted it directly.

It's a pity that humans are such creatures.

"That was during the last three days of summer vacation when the swimming pool was open. I asked the Professor to build a remote-controlled car equipped with a camera..."

Then, Chi recounted all his previous actions.

"I... I didn't know they were going to do these things beforehand." After sweating profusely for several days, the Sotomura finally had a chance to speak.

However, it was clear that everyone's attention was not on him at the moment, since there was a 'mastermind' behind this.

"Ayanokoji was just dragged into this by the pool. I went to the pool that day, intending to secretly stop them, but someone else discovered their plan first."

Since things had come to this point, Horikita had no choice but to reveal what she knew, which was more in line with her expectations.

Ayanokoji hadn't done anything heinous; he was truly innocent in that matter.

However, Horikita couldn't say this directly, so she had to use the fact that Yamauchi and Sakayanagi were colluding to force Yamauchi school.

Now that Yamauchi had actually brought it up himself, Horikita felt a sense of relief but also some worry.

So much time has passed, won't the school hold us accountable for exposing this now?

If the school investigates, Chi, as the mastermind, will inevitably be expelled, and Class C may also have a significant number of Class Points deducted as a result.

For a moment, Horikita didn't know whether to be relieved that Ayanokoji wouldn't be expelled, or to worry that Class C would be implicated.

However, Horikita's explanation was clearly unacceptable to the students in the class. If he was truly innocent, why didn't he speak up at the time?

Therefore, not only Ayanokoji, but also Sotomura was not included in the trust list.

Despite their disbelief, the students in the class learned from Ike's account that Ike herself was the mastermind, Yamauchi was the second to join in, and the Professor and Ayanokoji were still considered accomplices by the girls.

Especially Ayanokoji, since you knew they were going to do something stupid, why didn't you just report it to the teacher and stop them?

Not only did they not tell the teacher, but they didn't even tell Shuichi Kanda beforehand!?

They all felt that if it were Shuichi Kanda, he could definitely stop them.

Looking at the classroom, which had become chaotic again, Shuichi Kanda pointed his index finger at the side of someone sitting next to him.

Somewhat soft...

"Sae- chan, it's your turn!"

Whether it was because of Shuichi Kanda's address or his action, Chabashira Sae glared at him fiercely.

However, Chabashira could no longer sit and watch the show, because Yamauchi and Ike's remarks had seriously violated school rules, and it was time for Chabashira, representing the school, to step in.

"That's enough!"

Chabashira-sensei stood up from Horikita's seat and, with a stern rebuke, immediately quelled the chaotic atmosphere in the class.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the students, Chabashira-sensei walked to the podium with a serious expression.

"I can't pretend I didn't hear what you just said." Chabashira-sensei glanced at the pond, then looked at Yamauchi. "Now, let me confirm again. Yamauchi, is it true that you were secretly filming the women's changing room?"

Faced with Chabashira-sensei's question, Yamauchi felt a little pressured. Just as he was about to speak, Chabashira-sensei spoke again.

"You should think carefully before you speak. I can take what you said before as nonsense, but if you admit to this now, it will be reported to the school, and you know what the consequences will be."

"W-What consequences?"

Yamauchi swallowed hard.

"Can't you even figure this out? You spout nonsense without understanding the consequences. You're really something. Let me analyze it for you."

Shuichi Kanda smiled and then began to analyze the matter.

"According to what you just said, if we report it to the school, although now we probably won't be able to find any evidence."

However, if all parties involved admit to the offense, there might still be room for negotiation for accomplices, but Chi, as the mastermind, will undoubtedly be expelled from school, and the expulsion will be carried out immediately.

Meanwhile, Class C will likely have a lot of Class Points deducted. Anyway, we don't need to participate in tomorrow's Special Exam pool.

For a moment, the class was speechless, especially Chi Bantian, who couldn't say a word.

He dragged Chi Pan out so that Chi could take his place in the exam, and now you're telling me he's going to be expelled before the exam even starts?

The other students were somewhat bewildered; what was supposed to be an exam that would force one student to drop out now seemed to be affecting two.

No, even if two students drop out, it's fine. But someone who secretly films women in changing rooms should be expelled!

"Kanda is right. What you just said was only within the class, so I can take it as nonsense. So, on behalf of the school, I'll ask again: Yamauchi, is what you just said true? And Ike, do you admit to doing it?"

"I... I didn't do it! I didn't do that kind of thing!"

Before Yamauchi could speak, Ike changed his mind. If he admitted it, he would definitely be expelled from school; if he didn't admit it, he might still be able to struggle.

Moreover, so much time has passed, and Shuichi Kanda said that the evidence may have been destroyed long ago, so as long as he doesn't admit it, it's fine!

There's still hope for me! There's still hope for me!

Even if Ike doesn't admit it now, the students in Class C already know what really happened, so Ike will still be a strong candidate for expulsion.

"I..."

For a moment, Yamauchi was speechless; admitting it was wrong, and denying it was wrong too.

"Alright, let's end this farce here. I suppose you don't have the courage to admit it now, do you?"

Shuichi Kanda stood up and picked up his schoolbag, which he had already packed.

"It seems we'll have to end our discussion here. But please think carefully: should we expel Ike, the mastermind behind the voyeurism in the girls' changing room, or should we expel Yamauchi, who betrayed the class?"

As Shuichi Kanda walked out of the classroom, the students in the class also left one after another.

"Wait, Kanda."

As soon as Kanda stepped out of the classroom, Chabashira, who was following behind him, called out to him.

"Did you need something Sae- chan?"

"It's nothing, I just feel like you went too far this time." Since learning what these two had done, Chabashira Sae no longer felt that their expulsion was a loss.

To be honest, she really hoped that Yamauchi and Ike would admit it just now, so that she could kill Ike directly, and then kill Yamauchi tomorrow as well.

Without these two guys dragging the class down, Class C might just get promoted to Class A next time. Even if Class C loses a lot of Class Points, she doesn't feel it's a pity.

However, this was rejected by Shuichi Kanda.

That's right. At the time, she seemed to be asking Yamauchi whether he would admit it or not, but she was actually asking Shuichi Kanda whether the school should take the matter into consideration.

"What's the harm in messing things up? Removing one student can serve as a warning to others, and removing two won't actually cause any real loss. After all, there are still two more students waiting to be removed from the waiting list!"

Shuichi Kanda smiled and prepared to turn and leave.

They hadn't walked more than a few steps when several people caught up with them; it was Hasebe Haruka and her group.

"Wait, Shuichi!"
