What Did You Do? 6k
If it were that Classmate Sakayanagi, it's entirely possible that she would do something so cruel.
Because their class used to be divided into two factions fighting amongst themselves.
Although the authority of the Class representative has now been given to Sakayanagi, as long as Sakayanagi leads the class back to Class A and gains an advantage, there will definitely be people in the class who want to support Katsuragi's composure.
Therefore, Katsuragi may make a comeback.
Therefore, to avoid being discarded after being used, Sakayanagi Arisu is very likely to directly destroy everyone's illusions.
Then they would choose to drop out of Katsuragi directly.
There's no reason for Katsuragi to offer no resistance.
Actually, there are ways to save yourself here.
The exam rules state that each student has 3 Appreciation Vote for classmates and 3 criticism votes for classmates, but each student can give 1 Appreciation Vote to someone from another class. The vote count is calculated as Appreciation Vote minus criticism votes. The Appreciation Vote can be...
It can belong to a classmate or a student from another class. In other words, you can sell the Appreciation Vote given to a student from another class.
The buyer is none other than Class B, which is currently in turmoil.
Katsuragi will definitely be a buyer.
Of course, Classmate Sakayanagi might also become a buyer.
Because.
This vote is very necessary because it's needed to prevent opposing factions from targeting each other.
But Ryuen probably wants more than just this.
"At the same time, all of you idiots must fill in my name in the class polls, and write 'Appreciation Vote' on them, do you hear me?!"
See?
This is Ryuen Kakeru from Class D.
He also wanted the reward of being exempted from expulsion, which was given to the person who received the most Appreciation Vote in the Class Vote.
In other words, he planned to get the 2 million yuan severance pay from Class B for free, eliminate a student he wanted to drop out of school, and then obtain a privilege of not having to drop out for himself.
Just as Ryuen had anticipated.
Katsuragi was indeed publicly announced as someone to be expelled from school by Sakayanagi.
But he wouldn't leave willingly.
He did not hide his background; both Yahiko and Sakayanagi knew that he came from a tragic family.
After his parents died, he and his sister were left to live on the support of relatives.
Now that he's in this school, he can't take care of his younger sister and has to entrust her to relatives. To be honest, he's quite worried about that.
However, he could not reject the school.
He initially chose this school because the principal told him that after graduation he could go to any university he wanted for free, or get a job directly.
For someone as poor as him, this was a pretty good choice.
Although upon arrival I discovered that some of the school's promotional materials were false, as long as I graduated from Class A, I could still access the information advertised.
Although the class has dropped in rankings, he still believed that his class would definitely graduate as Class A in the end.
Then everyone will share in the glory and receive the honor they deserve.
Therefore, he did not want to give up halfway.
Therefore, Katsuragi needs to make some preparations.
He didn't want to leave.
He has a desired future; he wants a high-paying job so he can repay favors to his relatives and take care of his sister, who will provide him with financial support.
Thus, Katsuragi took action.
As for Yahiko Totsuka idolizes him, he is naturally very dissatisfied with Sakayanagi's direct call for Katsuragi to drop out of school. Therefore, he fully supports Katsuragi.
Previously, there were 18 people supporting Katsuragi, but now, after counting them all, including himself and Katsuragi, there are only 11 people left.
Sakayanagi's side can get 29 votes, while Katsuragi's side has 11 people. Subtracting the fact that Katsuragi can't vote for himself, then they can give Katsuragi 10 Appreciation Vote.
It's still far from enough to get the 29 critical votes that Sakayanagi pulled in.
But Katsuragi did not lose.
The final result in the rules is determined by the number of all the student's Appreciation Vote minus the number of criticism votes, and these Appreciation Vote come not only from classmates but also from other classes.
Therefore, as long as you can get enough votes from other classes, you can guarantee your safety.
"The truly prudent approach is to buy the 39 Appreciation Vote from First-year Class D," said Katsuragi.
The reason for choosing Class D is that the classes at Ryuen are familiar faces. Of course, there is another reason: Class D is the one most in need of money.
They're desperate for money.
So it should be the cheapest.
While contacting Class C is an option, the students there are not rational. If you tell them that they can sell the Appreciation Vote from other classes for money, some people will definitely agree, and even at a lower price.
However, there is a spy in Class C, so if he goes to talk to him, he will be immediately reported to Sakayanagi.
Sakayanagi is richer than him, so Sakayanagi can gather more votes or get others to back out of selling to him.
While Ryuen might back out, as long as all the points to note are written in black and white in the regulations, Ryuen will not back out.
The reason I say this is that, although Katsuragi was tricked by Ryuen, he also knows that Ryuen Hachiman Hikigaya the agreement with Hachiman to the Uninhabited Island Exam and their class's 300-point class evaluation score.
Now, the points aren't even transferred to Ryuen; they're directly transferred to Hachiman Hikigaya.
This shows that as long as a contract is signed, Ryuen can afford to lose.
Moreover, it seems that Ryuen had long been prepared to sell it for profit.
He directly posted an Appreciation Vote for 150,000 yuan on the school forum, which was clearly a sales tactic.
Katsuragi was actually a little envious of Ryuen, because although Ryuen class also had many problems, at least Ryuen class was unified, unlike his class which was divided.
So they approached Ryuen to negotiate, but Ryuen still wouldn't budge, sticking to the price of 150,000 per ticket.
"Selling tickets for 150,000 Ryuen is undoubtedly asking for a sucker," Katsuragi said.
But he had no choice but to be slaughtered.
Since Class C was eliminated, Class A, which is Ichinose's current class, was also excluded.
The reason is that Class A is currently Class B's enemy, and someone as outstanding as Katsuragi might be expelled, something Class A would likely be happy to see. Therefore, they are very likely to break the contract and expel Katsuragi, thereby weakening Class B's strength.
After all, they've already reached that position, so it's normal that they don't want to come down.
While Ichinose is very gentle, it seems that during the last rumor, Ichinose was prepared to drop out of school if attacked.
Although the other person is still in the class, it's more like they've been reborn from the ashes.
Therefore, we cannot view Ichinose perspective as before.
In other words, the other person is someone who might do something for the sake of the class.
Therefore, he cannot gamble.
So.
As expected.
Katsuragi met with Ryuen and then made a deal with Ryuen, agreeing on 28 tickets.
If Sakayanagi can get 29 criticism votes for Katsuragi, then Katsuragi only needs to get 19. The praise from Katsuragi Faction within Class 10 + the praise from other classes - the criticism from his own class = 0. With this result, he will not be expelled.
There was no need to buy 28 in the first place, but Katsuragi was worried that students in his camp might rebel.
Because there have already been signs of this.
Like Hashimoto before, who was initially thought to be on his side, but turned out to be recruited into Sakayanagi's camp.
Therefore, he could not be sure whether others besides Yahiko had also already defected to Sakayanagi.
She simply obeyed Sakayanagi's orders and continued to stand with him.
Therefore, we must be fully prepared.
He really didn't want to give up his opportunity at this school.
The prospect of tuition-free high school education alone would be a huge draw for his family.
"But even 28 votes still cost a huge sum of 4.2 million yen. Although Ryuen allows installment payments, it's still too expensive. By the way, Katsuragi, what do you think about our people casting their votes for Sakayanagi?" Yahiko frowned as he held the contract signed between Katsuragi and Ryuen.
He felt the price was too high.
"Is it a criticism vote?"
Katsuragi Road.
It should be said that Yahiko's proposal could only be a critical vote.
Each student has 3 praises and 3 criticisms, and you need to choose 6 students from the class to vote.
Katsuragi doesn't like to harm others, and he doesn't think it will work on Sakayanagi either, Sakayanagi will definitely ask her to send other people to put the Appreciation Vote on her.
"It's a vote of criticism, and I also think that Sakayanagi is worried about being attacked, so she will definitely collect Appreciation Vote from others. It's meaningless for only 11 people on our side to vote for her, but what if we vote for the people around her?"
Yahiko suggested, "Find a sacrifice as a conservative measure. And I recommend Shun Kito."
Shun Kito had been a member of Sakayanagi's faction for a long time, acting like a silent thug. In Katsuragi's memory, Kito didn't like to talk, so Katsuragi rarely spoke to him.
"Sakayanagi values Hashimoto and Kamuro, who is in charge of taking care of her, while Kito seems to have little presence, so voting for him is definitely the right choice," Yahiko said.
Indeed, even if Sakayanagi might have considered the possibility of her own people being attacked, so she might have asked others to Appreciation Vote for Hashimoto or Kamuro, in which case she would not have been able to take care of the insignificant Kito.
After all, you can only fill in 3 blanks for the Appreciation Vote in your own class.
"So let's do it this way," Yahiko said. "Katsuragi, let's do it this way."
"..." It would be difficult for Katsuragi to get students expelled from school by such a vote, but he had a reason not to lose. At the same time, he was not a rigid person and knew that even if Horikita was as outstanding, it would be very difficult to protect everyone. Therefore, some sacrifices might be allowed for their level.
In fact, he had already prepared himself to drop out of school if he failed to protect himself this time.
Therefore, everyone is the same.
"I understand." Thus, he adopted Yahiko's approach.
He contacted Shun Kito, the target of criticism votes from other members of the Katsuragi Faction.
Then you have to quietly wait for the important expulsion trial on Saturday.
However, on the night before the exam, Hachiman did have a serious private meeting with Sakayanagi Arisu.
P. S.: I made a calculation error yesterday.
If you paid 2k last night, then you still owe 12.5k.
This chapter is currently 9k words, and I still owe 11.6k words.
There will be another chapter tonight with a guaranteed 6,000 words.
Chapter 28 What Did You Do? 6k (Today's guaranteed update)
The location is a regular classroom.
In First Year Class B.
The agreed time was evening, but when Hachiman arrived, he found that there was only one person there, a silver-haired girl reading a book in the sunset.
It's as if, even after the world ends, the girl is still quietly reading here, creating an illusion that feels like a scene from a painting.
The sight of this scene instantly brought one's body and mind to a standstill.
Upright appearance.
Silver, tousled hair.
Despite wearing the same uniform as the other cute girls in her class, she was completely different.
However, such a person is beyond the realm of humanity by conventional standards. Just like her name, Arisu, she comes from a strange land.
