This Woman's Attack Power Is Still as Strong as Ever! (Continued)

"You didn't understand what I meant," Suzune Horikita said. "What I objected to was the second round of voting just now."

"I don't object to the plan where a classmate drops out and takes the points," Suzune Horikita said. "But I object to the plan where Kōenji, who just dropped out, takes the points."

"Because it makes no sense," she added.

"This isn't meaningless, is it?" Yukimura continued. "Because Kōenji has a title of 'expulsion protection.' So, in this way, no one in our class has dropped out."

"..." Horikita.

Horikita glanced at Yukimura twice, making Yukimura feel a little uncomfortable. Horikita then said, "Of the three votes against Kōenji's expulsion, I had one vote."

"And I know that the other vote was from Kikyo Kushida."

"You voted against Kōenji's expulsion, didn't you, Kushida?" Horikita looked towards the front row, where a cute blonde angel was sitting.

At that very moment, the little angel's popularity skyrocketed.

"..." Kushida.

Kushida, who was originally none of their business and kept out of the public eye, was suddenly exposed and came under everyone's scrutiny.

Although she was cursing Horikita in her heart, Kushida revealed her cute side.

"Um... I did vote against it just now," Kushida pitifully.

The students around him were surprised that Kushida wasn't keeping up with everyone else, but they could understand it.

Either he accidentally chose the wrong answer, or Kushida values the friendship among his classmates so much that he can't bring himself to do it to Kōenji.

What a truly kind little angel, Kushida!

She immediately gained even more fans.

But.

"Kushida-chan, if you choose Kōenji, Kōenji won't be expelled." A boy immediately comforted her like this.

He is a boy in the class named Hondō.

In the OAA data, it is ranked at the bottom, just like the pool.

Back when Hachiman was still in the class, everyone assumed that Hachiman and Horikita were dating, but he would also often meet with Kushida, and Kushida didn't seem to mind being with Hachiman.

At this point, everyone's understanding was that Kushida and Hachiman were together to comfort themselves by discussing exams related to class rivalry and Special Exam.

Now that Hachiman isn't here, and Kushida doesn't seem interested in any other boys.

But that means I still have a chance, doesn't it?

So, as Kushida, he immediately wanted to make his presence known.

"That's right."

"Kōenji won't drop out of school; he has the title of 'exit protection'." But there are many others who share the same idea as Hondō -kun.

And Ike also joined in.

Of course, Ike glanced in the direction of Satsuki Shinohara.

Unfortunately, Shinohara doesn't look at this at all.

So Shinohara had already leaned towards choosing Komiyama?

Chi thought to himself.

"Are you trying to waste time?" At this moment, Kushida had just pointed out that Horikita had voted against the others, continued to speak. "We still need to decide on the students who want to drop out. We don't have that much time to waste."

"Horikita, what are you trying to say?"

Hirata glanced at Yukimura.

Yukimura adjusted his glasses, then bit his lip. He said nothing.

It's obvious.

Yukimura now bewildered that Kushida has participated in the vote against Kōenji Kushida.

They probably never expected this to happen.

So it was beyond his expectations, and he couldn't handle it. Especially since there were only 50 minutes left until the end of the exam.

If a problem arises, then he will be held responsible.

"..." Hirata.

After Hachiman leaves, how to handle this class, or rather, how to deal with each Special Exam, needs careful consideration.

Of course, this is also a plan to avoid falling apart, to unite as much as possible, and to spend our time on campus together.

But.

Horikita was able to take the lead in the previous Uninhabited Island Exam, but this time, the Unanimous Special Exam.

Then, at this moment, Yukimura stepped forward.

Therefore, Hirata was observing whether Yukimura could take on the responsibility.

But looking at it now...

That won't work.

"You mean you don't want to drop out of Kōenji?" Hirata said.

"No, that's not it." Horikita's answer, however, was puzzling.

However, she quickly offered an explanation.

"In the vote to confirm Kōenji, I voted in favor, but in the second round, I chose to oppose it."

"I don't think there will be many more high-scoring exams like this."

"Take last year's Forestry Exam for example. At that time, the highest score we could get was about 400 points in the class evaluation."

"And this time, in the joint Uninhabited Island Exam for all three grades, the highest score we could get was around 400 or 500."

"Then Dan. This time, the maximum score he can get in the class evaluation is 400 points."

"This is already considered a high score."

"So it would be a real shame to let this opportunity slip by," Horikita said.

Hearing Horikita say that, Yukimura, who had been at a loss, felt somewhat relieved.

Because Yukimura shared the same idea.

"Therefore, I agree with the option of dropping out of school in exchange for points."

"However, my suggestion is to vote for students who contribute very little to the class," Suzune Horikita said. "We shouldn't sacrifice students who contribute to the class."

Well, you're really cold-hearted, Horikita.

Many people's opinion of Horikita has declined.

However, most of these students are in dangerous positions and do not contribute much to the class.

Compared to them, those students who had a special skill and had contributed to the class, recalling last year's Class Vote the withdrawal exam, Hachiman formed a large group.

There are 25 people in that large group.

Although Hachiman isn't here anymore, all the members of that large group are still here.

Now, Horikita seems to acknowledge the contributions of the group's students.

These words immediately put people at ease.

Since Horikita said that, it means she won't abandon them.

This put Sudō, who was not only physically strong but also known for his violence, irritable personality, and poor Academic Ability, at ease, as he was worried that he would be targeted.

"Then choosing Kōenji would be a good option, wouldn't it?" Yukimura said. "Because he has a protected status, so he won't be expelled."

"You're mistaken, this isn't the best option." However, Horikita directly denied it.

"..." Yukimura. "So you mean, choose to expel another student, and then have Kōenji retain its current expulsion protection status?"

"But you know..."

"Kōenji, actually..." Yukimura was about to say that Kōenji was transferring to another class, so the title protection couldn't contribute to our class anymore, but he restrained himself from saying it.

"In terms of cost-effectiveness, Kōenji's protection title is better than that of the students who are dragging the class down. Other classes, like Sakayanagi's class, still have Classmate Sakayanagi's expulsion protection title. If our class loses that and still aims for Class A, then we'll lose in every aspect," Suzune Horikita said. "And don't you guys think this exam format is very similar to last year's Class Vote for expulsion?"

Yes.

Very similar.

The whole class made the decision together again: the student dropped out of school.

"Normally, the Special Exam we take require careful thought and the cooperation of all students to answer them and obtain the corresponding scores."

"And almost every time it was some kind of punishment related to dropping out of school."

"This time, although there was also content related to dropping out of school, there was also a very direct solution where everyone could pass the test without dropping out and without any loss."

"100 points for nothing."

"But."

"I don't think that was the school's original intention. The original intention should have been for us to put our classmates on a scale and choose."

"So."

"Seizing the opportunity and recognizing the value of classmates is the key to understanding the question. Therefore, I believe it is necessary for students who have dropped out to get points," Horikita said.

This statement is much easier to understand.

But.

Yukimura frowned. "Since you and I share the same view, we need to get points here."

"If another student chooses to withdraw, it's impossible to raise the 20 million yuan to cover the withdrawal fee waiver, so the withdrawal is truly permanent. However, this would only result in receiving 400 points."

"If you choose Kōenji, you can still stay in Kōenji and not be expelled, but you can get 350 points."

"It's only a 50-point difference." Yukimura felt he had guessed Horikita's reason for objecting. "Do you really need to get those extra 50 points?"

I want to get an extra 50 points.

"You didn't understand what I meant," Suzune Horikita Kōenji. "It's not a question of whether I should drop out or not. It's about choosing someone else to drop out."

That's what they're saying.

Suzune Horikita paused for a moment, "Because in the voting for dropping out of Kōenji just now, 37 people in the class voted in favor, and one voted against. I was wondering who that person was. Then in the second round, there were 3 dissenting votes, one was mine, and one was Kushida's."

"But the third one. I've already decided."

Suzune Horikita suddenly looked in one direction.

Sakura was sitting in that direction.

Sakura, who has a low profile and is quite introverted, immediately felt everyone's gaze and became a little nervous.

However, Horikita's gaze bypassed her and instead looked to the side of her.

There sat a blond man with red eyes and a muscular physique who thought he was incredibly handsome.

This man was the center of the conversation just now; he was the man with the guaranteed admission spot.

"It's you, Kōenji. You voted against dropping out of school for yourself in two consecutive rounds," Suzune Horikita said.

Unbelievable!

Rokosuke Kōenji actually opposed his own withdrawal from school. Was he contradicting his earlier statement, unwilling to lose his guaranteed withdrawal spot?

"..." At this moment, the Chabashira-sensei, who was standing to the side, was speechless. Horikita was a little different from a year ago, but some things were still the same.

That is, its attack power is as strong as ever.

"Hehe..." Instantly, Rokosuke Kōenji attracted the attention of his classmates.

However, unlike Kushida, who could suddenly change his expression while smiling on the outside but cursing on the inside, his expression was directly reflected on his face.

When his actions were exposed, Kōenji showed no sign of nervousness; instead, he smiled.

"Horikita girl, I've updated my opinion of you," Kōenji said. "You've made great progress by being able to notice my actions."

"Yes, if I continue to choose to drop out of school, then I won't be able to finish this exam successfully."

"If you want to get points, then you can only choose to have someone else drop out of school."
