Because the area Yamauchi is really not popular.

Many people dislike him.

So, although the vote was supposed to be a vote for a classmate you spend every day with Hirata, which would make you feel ashamed, in reality, it seems that apart from Hirata, no one else felt any psychological pressure.

"Yes." Hachiman of security to most of the students in the class, nodded. But then he shook his head. "However, I guess I'm saving myself. For exams where someone has to drop out, dropping out a student that everyone dislikes and who might have a negative impact on the class is the best option."

"So perhaps this is my personal motive."

"However, this direct Class Vote method is still anonymous. Even I could become a target for other classmates."

However, although Hachiman said so, the other members of the tutoring group did not think so.

They felt that Hachiman was someone who made significant contributions to the class.

Whether it's the arrangements for the Uninhabited Island or the Sports Festival, it's clear that any student who isn't too stupid knows what to do.

However, there are some idiots in this class.

Thinking of this, Yukimura pushed up his glasses.

But.

He suddenly realized something.

That is it.

The rules for the Class Vote are simple: on the fifth day, which is Saturday, you can choose three names that deserve praise and three names that deserve criticism.

The names of the two parties cannot overlap. In other words, choose three people you like and three people you dislike to take revenge on.

However, the rule here is that the Appreciation Vote minus the number of votes for criticism.

Even if you receive critical votes, you'll be safe if you get enough Appreciation Vote.

It can be confirmed that the last place is Yamauchi.

I won't get accidentally hurt.

Yes.

Because there are only 3 people who can fill in the criticism ballot, but if someone is unlucky enough to have all the criticism ballots filled in, then wouldn't that be the same as Yamauchi?

39 votes to 39 votes!

However, this situation must be very rare.

Because how could anyone possibly anger the whole class?

But.

"I think so too." At that moment, a voice came from Kanji Ike.

Ike wanted to hear this kind of talk. "So, to avoid danger, I think we can mark the names of the students who are in danger, and then the whole group can Appreciation Vote them. Let's protect the members of our group."

That's really shameless. After the pairing exam, he didn't want to stay with Yukimura and felt that it was pointless to continue having Yukimura tutor him, so he completely refused to participate in Yukimura's tutoring assignments during the holidays.

So his opening remarks immediately made him seem shameless.

But at this moment, he couldn't care less about anything else; to save himself, he had to be shameless.

"Indeed, Hachiman is an indispensable member of our group, and without his hosting today, I think he would be in some danger," said Yukimura, perhaps the only student in the class who still harbored any illusions about Class A. "Because during the Forestry Exam, Hachiman mentioned that he had 6 million yen, right? So perhaps some people think Hachiman is rich and then attack him."

He was a staunch supporter of the promotion to Class A and did not want Hikigaya, Hachiman, so he had no objection to giving him the Appreciation Vote.

"I agree," Sato said.

"I agree." Horikita had no objection.

Although Hachiman said he only has a little over 4 million yen left, she doesn't believe a man's words.

However, she did not believe that Hachiman Hikigaya was in danger.

Because sometimes you'll see Hachiman with Sakayanagi Arisu from Class B.

As for Sakayanagi Arisu, she seems rather indifferent to the people in her class.

So Hasebe started paying attention to this type of person.

And this attention is significant.

A while ago, she noticed that although Classmate Sakayanagi was in the same elevator as her, Classmate Sakayanagi acted strangely and got off at the boys' floor. Curious, she followed her and discovered that Sakayanagi had gone straight to Hachiman's apartment.

Not only that, she didn't knock on the door, but directly swiped her room card and entered Hachiman's dormitory.

Hey, hey, hey.

Yes, you read that right, Classmate Sakayanagi swiped her room card and went in.

Did Hachiman Hikigaya give it to her?

Everyone in the class thought that Hachiman and Horikita were dating.

However, since Classmate Sakayanagi managed to get Hachiman's room key, it's hard to doubt whether Hachiman and Classmate Sakayanagi have some kind of relationship.

Certainly.

I do care about the Eight Haruka.

However, she felt that it was not good to investigate some things too much, so she stopped there.

But.

She still suspected that even if Hachiman Hikigaya was voted to be expelled, Classmate Sakayanagi might still be able to garner him Appreciation Vote.

Yes.

Students from other classes receive an Appreciation Vote from students from other classes.

Classmate Sakayanagi seems to be the Class representative of Class B.

So it should be easy to get some Appreciation Vote, right?

But if Classmate Sakayanagi really gets the votes, then Hachiman's lover's ship is bound to capsize, right?

So.

Stealing a glance at Horikita, Hasebe, not wanting his companion to fail, thought the tutoring group could bring him Appreciation Vote.

"Um..." Yukimura his hand somewhat awkwardly. "Although my grades are very good, my athletic ability is very poor. I even came in last place in the previous Sports Festival, so could you give me your Appreciation Vote?"

Since it's already decided that everyone will choose Yamauchi, then everyone else is safe.

However, there are 3 slots for the critical vote.

Although Yukimura doesn't think he'll be voted out of criticism by everyone, the fact that he's managed to garner some Appreciation Vote is reassuring.

"I have no objection." Hachiman did not refuse.

"I can also give out my vote." Horikita had no objection. Or rather, Horikita's little sister, who didn't quite understand people's hearts, didn't really understand why Yukimura, who was clearly organizing reading, contributing to the class, and was also a top Yukimura, needed to worry about being criticized.

"Alright, then I can give you my Appreciation Vote too." Sato nodded.

"So there's one vote left, can I have it?" Hasebe finally said. "I also got one of the bottom ten in the Sports Festival. Although I get along well with everyone in my class, there are definitely some people who dislike me, so I hope you can give me your vote."

"Sure." Yukimura had no objections.

"Okay." Miyake did not object.

"Okay." Hachiman agreed.

"???" Chi.

"Wait a minute—"

Damn it.

Why wasn't he mentioned?

Ike finally felt that she didn't belong in this group.

"Um..." he said, "Can't you guys just give me the tickets?"

"I'm in danger too. Or rather, I'm extremely dangerous!"

"But are you a member of Yukimura's tutoring group?" This time, Horikita said bluntly, "During the holidays, Yukimura offered everyone extra lessons, but you kept making excuses not to come. So, are you still part of our group?"

"Well, at that time, I was playing in Hirata. Hirata asked me to go out with him, so it's not that I didn't want to study with you guys," Ike said in a panic.

"So Hirata acted very strangely today; you didn't go to him at all after class."

"Since you have a good relationship with Hirata, aren't you worried about him?" Horikita said, "I find it terrifying."

"This—" Chi knew that his previous statement was not authentic.

But.

"But don't worry," Horikita, "I won't give you a critical vote, after all, we used to be in the same group."

"Is that so?" Chi felt that he couldn't get the Appreciation Vote, but it seemed okay if he didn't get the criticism vote either.

"Then it's settled." Chi immediately ran to the counter to pay for the coffee for the tutoring group members. "Please don't criticize me."

Everyone cast one Appreciation Vote the class outside the main class.

Each student has the right to cast 3 votes of Appreciation Vote and 3 votes of criticism within the class.

Although Yamauchi has now been chosen.

Then on Saturday, everyone voted for Yamauchi, and Yamauchi 39 votes. However, everyone also cast their criticism votes for him, so he also received 39 votes.

Then it will be sent.

Therefore, losing even one vote is safe for him.

As he was talking, he noticed his phone ringing. It was probably because the other underachieving students had finally realized that each person had 3 criticism votes. If he had also received 39 votes, they would have sent them out, so they wanted to contact him to form a group and Appreciation Vote for each other without voting for criticism. So he immediately ran out.

As Miyake, who had been watching Ike's retreating figure, said from the background, "So, we're not going to cast our vote of criticism for Ike?"

"No, I just promised I wouldn't vote for him, but you can vote for him however you want," Horikita said casually.

Wow.

Hasebe is pretty bad too, isn't he?

But what she did was the right thing.

Hachiman approves.

How can a small team have cohesion?

Find someone in the group that everyone dislikes, and then target them. In order to protect themselves, everyone will target this person, thus achieving unity. And the sacrifice she chose was Ike, whom no one liked.

It was done perfectly.

"So the Appreciation Vote will go to Hachiman, and Yukimura and Hasebe too?" Sato seemed to have also received the message that she was leaving, and she was confirming this.

Each person has three Appreciation Vote, which is exactly three votes.

This time, no one refused.

However, Ike's initiative and Yukimura's desire to campaign for votes caught Hachiman's attention.

Because although it was decided to join the Yamauchi.

However, one should be careful when casting a critical vote, because there are a few students in the class who are the least popular, the kind that most people would vote for.

For example, Yamauchi was voted 39, Ike was voted 39, and Sudō was voted 39.

Then the exam will have to be repeated, and some problems may even arise.

Therefore, we need to manipulate the list of classmates who can choose from. This is to prevent a situation where no result is found within the time limit, and then a student is randomly selected to drop out.

However, thinking about this, Hachiman suddenly realized a bug.

That is it.

What if someone skips the exam during the scheduled time?

If a student skips the exam, it could trigger the exam timeout, and a student would be randomly expelled.

And his students... besides those like Yamauchi, there are also those Hirata who have broken down, and... there are also those who might be bribed.

So, it is indeed a bug.

This patch needs to be submitted by Chabashira-sensei.

Hachiman immediately thought of a way to remedy the situation.
