Hachiman's Meritocracy Classroom

Utsunomiya was quite the fighter himself. A major reason he had been assigned to a lower-ranked class was his record of getting into fights.

He then looked at the three security guards escorting Yagami.

Did the school even have security guards this burly?

They gave him a dangerous feeling.

But—

"Is he being expelled, then?" Utsunomiya shouted.

Their class had gained no advantage at all from this exam.

But—

If something happened to Yagami... that would be good news for their class instead.

"Yes." Majima-sensei answered Utsunomiya, apparently unwilling to say anything further. He continued after the group escorting Yagami, heading toward the school gates.

But Utsunomiya and the others were not the only ones watching. Students from Second-year Class A immediately took pictures and sent them to their Little Princess Sakayanagi.

Inside the Student Council room.

"Second to last, First Year Class C. Last place, Second Year Class D. The class evaluation points of both classes will be deducted by 300 points."

"Those are the results of this Cultural Festival special exam."

"The points confiscated by the school will be returned to the respective classes after the confiscated portion has been deducted. The points will be transferred to each class's homeroom teacher."

"Please apply to your homeroom teacher for them during tomorrow's homeroom session."

After Hachiman announced the end of the exam, he turned off the broadcast.

Beep, beep!

However, the phone Classmate Sakayanagi had placed on the table lit up.

Someone had probably sent her a message. More than one, at that.

Sure enough.

"Yagami has been expelled," Classmate Sakayanagi said. "Some students saw it and sent over pictures."

Was that so?

Then you really did have plenty of lapdogs.

Hachiman more or less understood. Quite a few students in Sakayanagi's class seemed eager to climb higher
