Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Prologue - Monologue By Sae Chabashira After I became a teacher, no, even before I became a teacher, I have had an issue that I could not talk about with anyone, that is, I keep having a certain nightmare over and over again. The events of that day, which I will never forget, are repeated in my dreams. The nightmares were distorted every time I was hit, sometimes from my point of view, sometimes from someone else's, sometimes the conversations and proceeding were different. But there was always one thing that stayed the same. This means that, no matter how many times the story is repeated, the "end" was always the same. At the time, our B-class had nothing to fear. Our momentum was overwhelming the other classes, and we had Class A within reach. Of course, the road was not easy. By the time I moved into the third year, the number of classmates who had dropped out up to that point had increased to six. However, after becoming our third year, we continue to accumulate class points without losing anyone. I was convinced that we would not lose anyone else and would graduate class A together until that day. It was the end of the third semester, just before the final exam; it was the last chance to beat class A. Our homeroom teacher appeared with a stiff expression on his face and announced to us that a new special exam was coming. At first, we weren't afraid of that special test at all. The rules were simple, direct and we had anticipated that we could overcome it without difficulty; however, that optimistic attitude only lasted until the motion was raised. The scene changed and at that moment I started yelling at the top of my lungs to the class. My best friend Chie walks up to me with an angry expression on her face, and grabs my shirt collar. The class, which had been united as one, collapsed in an instant.

For 3 years he was a friend with whom I shared sorrows and joys, someone who was not an insignificant presence for me, an irreplaceable companion, an important friend of the opposite sex. Though he was somewhat frivolous, he was serious and kind, more trustworthy than anyone else. He showed me an expression that I had never seen before. As if he was a bit shy, he extended his hand towards me under the evening sky. I held back the tears that were about to flow and said: - Sorry ... Thank you for your cooperation ... And… The relationship between the two of us came to an end at the same time it began.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Chapter 1 - Steps of Chaos After the summer holidays, the second semester of my second year has started today. Considering the 3 years of school we will have in total, this was definitely a time of transition. I tied my tie and put my arm through the sleeve. I looked at myself in the mirror, fixed my hair, and made sure I looked good before I went out. As I left, I bumped into Sudou, yawning heavily, and greeted him as we walked out of the bedroom together. - Suzune warned me that the second semester exams could come earlier, so I ended up sleeping all night. - Were you seriously studying on the last day of summer? - Luckily, she has already helped me develop an academic program for my needs. I could even get high marks on exams and get a B or better in my academic ability in [OAA]. It is very difficult to get a B or higher in academics. But that said, perhaps it was not that far from the truth. I wouldn't be surprised if her academic performance improved even more if she had really been studying hard over the summer. He had become a person who was attuned to the phrase "Brain and strength." Small behavior problems, such as being late and sleeping in class, had also drastically decreased. There is still a part of him that heats up depending on the situation, but that is also a characteristic of Sudou. - Let me ask you something strange, do you think Kanji has already kissed Shinohara? - That?

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - It's great that he has a girlfriend, but if he's been too early, I can't say he's very happy. I feel like lately there's a kind of barrier between us because of this - Can't you ask yourself? It's Ike, he'll tell you for sure. - How can I ask you something like that. If they haven't held hands yet, that's fine, but if you tell me they've gone further ... Let's just say my right hand is going to get a little restless. So that was the situation. That irritation could cause big problems. - If something happens to Ike that makes him happy, he will let go of it at the first opportunity. Since that hasn't happened yet, doesn't that mean they haven't reached that stage yet? - It's true. But you never know, he is a man in love. I don't know myself, because I don't have any experience. By the way, have you ever had a girlfriend, Ayanokouji? ...It feels? Moving on from Ike, the topic of the conversation changed to something I didn't expect. As if asking "what does it feel like?" Sudou's intense and confident eyes were impossible to ignore. - I can't lie to you, so I'll tell you this, I got my first girlfriend the other day. - Seriously? Are you serious? Even if I avoided the question here, the news would soon spread from Kei, so hiding it was not the best idea. After answering honestly, Sudou held his head and sighed. Right after, he rushed to grab me by both shoulders. - No, no, no, is it is it ?! - Do not worry. It is not who you think it is. - Are you sure? I can trust that it's not Suzune, right ?! - Yes. It's not her. - Oh yeah. Well, okay… I thought my heart was going to stop for a moment.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year As if sweating, Sudou brusquely wiped his forehead with his left hand. To express her anxiety, she showed me the sweat on her palm. - So, who is? - It is... - Ah! I found you! Just when Sudou regained his composure, he heard footsteps running behind him. When the footsteps reached our walking speed, he looked at me with a slightly angry look. - I wanted to ask you to come to class with me, but I didn't know you were already gone! Kei puffed out his cheeks to show his disgust. - No, I didn't know we were going to go together. - That's ... Well, it's because I was too nervous ... Sudou looked at us with a shocked expression when we suddenly started talking strangely to each other. - Why is this sudden interruption, Karuizawa? We are having a very important conversation between men, so do not interrupt Apparently he hadn't realized the nature of our conversation. He only seemed to be taken aback by his sudden appearance here. Now that I think about it, these two people didn't hang out much in the past. Their relationship was neither good nor bad ... No, if I had to say it, it was bad. - Kei, are you going to tell everyone about us today? - Hey? Yes Yes. I was considering the timing ... It seems wrong to announce it as soon as classes start ... Actually, it is unexpectedly difficult to reveal. Announcing it with "Hey everyone listen up, we're dating ~" doesn't feel quite right either.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - It seems like it was easier for you when it came to Yousuke, right? - Well, that… It's a totally different situation. - Hey, hey, what are you talking about? Ah ?! Sudou, who had proven to be super dense, but considering that I referred to her by her first name, and with him keeping pace with our conversation, stopped walking with a stunned look. - Yeah, well ... what? Oh hey, what's going on here, Ayanokouji? However, it was not yet known if that combination of clues was enough for him to make a connection. But in a sense, it might be a good thing that Sudou was the first person in our class to find out about our relationship. - We are dating, her and me. Kei smirked and then prodded me a couple of elbows. He was probably glad he said it out loud. - That ... Aaaaaaah! No, no, you, are you kidding me! Surprised, Sudou overreacted even more than I would have imagined, while yelling loudly. Although there were no students from our class around us, other students who did not know the situation turned their faces to see what was happening. While Kei said: - You are too loud. - Sorry. But, no, hmm ... Why ... are you dating Karuizawa? - what do you mean? Is there something wrong with me? - It's not that it's not about that, but I mean it… huh? Sudou, who was expressing his confusion due to this surprise, shook his head, as if he couldn't accept it. - What, did you prefer me to date Horikita? - I would never accept that! ... No, that's not what I meant ... wait.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year He grabbed me by the shoulders and brought his mouth to my ear and whispered. - I'm sorry to say this, but ... Karuizawa was dating Hirata, and before that, we don't know what kind of flashy relationships she had in high school. Are you not dissatisfied or uncomfortable with it? Isn't that too high a bar for your first girlfriend? I guess that's the image of Kei Karuizawa that her classmates have of her. In fact, until I found out about her past, I had always thought of her as that kind of girl. - What are you whispering? - No, it's nothing. Sudou slipped under his gaze. I guess he felt bad for having spoken ill of her. - Ayanokouji and Karuizawa are dating ...? Shit, no matter how many times I think about it, I can't understand it. Now my head is clear of drowsiness. What an amazing start to the second semester ... I heard Sudou say a few words, as we headed to school. -----1----We arrived at the school and passed other third-year students coming from their dormitories, but Sudou didn't seem to notice any of them, although they were still staring at me, like on the cruise ship. Although these looks have followed me all summer every time I went out, I still hadn't quite gotten used to them. Being watched gave me a strong sense of oppression and seclusion. As long as these gazes continued, this feeling would persist. Kei quickly struck up a great conversation with the girls about the summer, and Sudou started gossiping with Ike and Hondou, his close friends. I also casually chatted with the Ayanokouji Group members while we waited for the bell. Finally, Professor Chabashira arrived and said something similar to what she said in the first semester.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - This second semester, several important events are coming. The first of these will be the sports festival, like the one held last year. That will probably be the physical ability test in October. Although the rules will be different from last year, the required skills will remain the same. This strong emphasis on physical abilities mentioned by Professor Chabashira meant that this next challenge could be a source of anxiety for students who were only good at academics. Said students, like my close friends Keisei and Airi, heard these words with an expression of concern, naturally. These new rules would also be of great concern. - A cultural festival will be held for the first time in Koudo Ikusei. Details of it will be announced later, as will the sports festival, but planning will begin in September. The month of September will be devoted mainly to the preparation of the sports festival. Physical education class time will increase by a few hours each week. There would also be one hour a week to talk about the cultural festival. Apparently, the official preparation would begin after the sports festival is over in October, and then officially begin in November. There is also a school trip, although I am not sure if it will be related to a special exam. - In addition to this, midterm and final exams will also occur between these events. Regardless, there is no doubt that this will be a very busy second semester. - I'll explain more about the sports festival later, but let's talk about the cultural festival first. Although the sports festival came first, Professor Chabashira began to detail the cultural festival first. - There will be many guests at the cultural festival. You will have to compete with all the other classes of all the years for the total sales in the festival. You can celebrate all the events you want, but the budget is limited. For more information, consult the screen of your tablet.

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year [Outline of the cultural festival] In the second year, each class will receive 5,000 private points per student to be used solely in the preparation of the festival, and students will be able to use them freely within that range (5,500 points for first-year students and 4,500 points for third-year students) . Additional funds will be awarded in exchange for social contributions, through student council volunteer work, and for contributions made through club activities (details will be announced for each class after completion). Unused funds will be withdrawn to prevent initial costs and additional funds from being reflected in final sales. 100 class points will be awarded to classes ranked 1st through 4th. 50 class points will be awarded to the class from 5th to 8th place. There are no changes in class points for classes from 9th to 12th place. This meant that many classes would be rewarded, with no penalty for classes that finished in the lower ranks. 8th or higher would be a good result. The rules were easy to understand and there didn't seem to be any confusion. The fact that the announcement was made before the details of the sports festival was simple and straightforward. I guess it's because you can't start preparing until you get an explanation. As for the sports festival, we can prepare to some extent by improving our physical abilities for now. - Yes, it is like a traditional school festival. I'm sure nothing escaped him, but I can understand why Shinohara would mean that. There was no risk of losing class points or expulsion. However, we were so deeply affected by the operation of this school that we unconsciously wondered if there could be something more. - It will also be important to determine which areas of the enclosure need to be secured. For example, if you want to set up your stand near the

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year front door, where guests will surely pass, you will have to pay the school for the space. The students, among whom I was, reviewed the new information that had been sent their tablets. The screen showed a map and a list of "places where a booth could be installed" marked with a code that combined the name of the place and the numbers. The location closest to the main gate, mentioned by Chabashira, was marked with “Main Gate 1” and the location fee was 10,000 points. Some places away from the front door, where guests did not pass often, seemed to be free. The budget was about 200,000 points, without considering additional funds. 10,000 points definitely weren't cheap. However, there is no doubt that it is a privileged place that is expected to attract many visitors. - Your choice of location may overlap with other classes and grades, but each location can only be used by one class. If there is an overlap, there will be an auction process, where the class with the highest bid will get the right to use that space. In other words, if you are forced to spend too many points to secure a prime location, the budget you can allocate to the event will be drastically reduced. We have about two months to figure out how to fight effectively on a limited budget. - The events that each class will organize and where they will install the stands will not be made public until the day of the cultural festival. There will be no leaks from the school, but you will still have to watch out for potential leaks from students. Be prepared to be mercilessly attacked if information is leaked. Even if you come up with an ideal event, there is a risk that other classes will copy and counteract it. - During the planning process, the need for something can arise at any time. If you need something that is not available on the event site, you can request permission to bring it in from abroad, they are free to use the budget as they want.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Some aspects seemed to need more detailed investigation, including this one. - This is the description of the festival and its rules. Specific preparations and the assembly period will begin when the Sports Festival ends, but starting today they will discuss what to do and how to allocate the budget, using their own time. The more time you spend planning the cultural festival, the more meticulous the plan will be. -----2-----

After class, many of my classmates stayed in the classroom, and the rest went to club activities. This was, of course, for the first discussions of the cultural festival in November. Some of my classmates should have had experience with cultural festivals during their high school years. I didn't have any particular information, so I listened as usual. - First of all, let's make a quick list of the events we can hold. Yousuke, who had permission to use the classroom monitor, typed the words on his tablet. - When you think of a cultural festival, the most common is food, haunted houses, etc. Things related to food, haunted houses, mazes, cafes, live music, plays, etc. The most obvious ones are added one by one and listed. - The event will run from 10am to 3pm. If we do something food-related, I bet adult guests will visit more. However, our competition in this area would also increase ... - And we have to juggle a budget. It's going to be more expensive than something like a haunted house or a single cost controlled maze. Apparently, musical equipment and other things like that could be rented for a fee, but such equipment was limited, so it was assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. And there was also the question of how many students had profit-making skills.

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - We have 39 students in our class. That means that the budget we have is 195,000 points. Honestly, it is not enough. It is not an easy decision to make when it comes to food. - I have a suggestion, if you don't mind. - I am open to suggestions, Horikita-san. - As Hirata-kun said, we have a pretty limited budget for this cultural festival. But there are many things that cannot be fully understood just by theorizing about them. Suppose we open a takoyaki stand, what ingredients, skills and other things are necessary? In that case, shouldn't we first decide on a plan and then experiment a little more with our private points? Many of the students nodded at the suggestion. Indeed, it is important to really taste the cuisine, the service or whatever it is that is made. Of course, you run the risk of paying out of pocket, but if it is later recovered in the form of class points, it is easy to take it as a necessary initial investment. - But ... I don't want to speak ill of the current idea, but when it comes to paying out of pocket, some are reluctant to do anything about it, right? Matsushita feared that there would be students who would not contribute at all to the preparation of the cultural festival. - Ignore them. I don't want to waste time that could be used for proposals and planning. However, we cannot disappoint those who want to contribute. If you think it's a good idea, you can actively vouch for it. And if the idea is chosen, those people will be rewarded. - Yes, it is a good idea. There is nothing wrong with rewarding people for their hard work. - We'll work out the details later, but for example, if they get 100 class points for the festival, that's 390,000 private points per month for the entire class. We will divide it by the number of people who have planned the event and we will give it to you as a reward. I'm sure there will be no complaints if we do it like this.

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year If we did five events, it would be 78,000 points per person. If the number of people who came up with the idea or helped is too large to divide, you can divide it by the total amount of two or three months. In this way, students who actively participate in the festival will benefit, and students who contribute will benefit later. Most importantly, if this increased the class points, I would not object to it. - Also, to prevent other classes from stealing our ideas, we have to protect our information completely. Keep in mind that they must be very careful what they say in the school, their dormitories, and at the Keyaki Mall. Total confidentiality. This is very important for the next two months of preparation. The discussions continued, beginning with a proposal to Horikita or Yousuke to host an event. Then, if there was a possibility of formally adopting the proposal, we went on to carry out more discussions. -----3----For the next two weeks, school life went on as usual. As we prepared for the Cultural Festival and the Sports Festival at the same time, we went about our homework. It was a precious time when he could say that he was repeating the same routine as in a normal school. Surprisingly, the relationship between Kei and I did not extend from Sudou, and there was no sign of anyone new coming to know of us. Then in mid-September, after school on Wednesday of the third week. Sitting in the back row, I saw someone unexpected approach Horikita, who was sitting in the center of the front row. - Hello, Horikita-san. I was wondering if you could have a moment of your time after this. It was Satou who approached her with a bit of reserve. She was one of the girls who never got involved with Horikita. - I have an errand to run at the student council in an hour, so if you don't conflict with that, fine. What is it about?

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year She didn't seem dubious, but I guess she didn't have much experience in conversing with Horikita. After receiving a surprise reply, he continued in a slightly whispered voice. - We have been thinking a lot about what we are going to do for the cultural festival, or so we said in ... You asked us to tell you if we had any ideas. - Yes. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions ... - Hey, well, let me explain. I have an idea for an event that will allow us to win this cultural festival. Satou's confidence was evident, but Horikita was not easily impressed. This was natural; After all, in these past 10 days, many students have already approached Horikita with suggestions. Both boys and girls repeatedly make proposals to Horikita, as there is a 'Quid pro qou' (NT: Latin word meaning: a favor or advantage granted in exchange for something) if the proposal is adopted. The proposals range from the traditional to the quirky, but one thing they all have in common is that Horikita won't even listen to them if they just say the name of the event. The same day the reward for the idea was announced, Hondou immediately proposed that fried chicken be sold because it was delicious. But Horikita kicked him out, telling him to go make a proposal. He didn't even show the will to accept it as an idea. The next day, undaunted, Hondou submitted a proposal to make fried chicken, but all he wrote was a fried chicken recipe that he must have picked up off the internet and a passionate speech about how much he would sell and how delicious it would be. Seeing the low-level proposal, Horikita again explained the importance of a proposal. If a fried chicken shop were to open, what would the cost be? Where would the premises be located? How many human resources would be needed? What would the fixed price be? How many customers are expected to buy the food, and what would it be based on? He told them that he would only listen to the ideas of those who had elaborated them correctly.

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year After that, I thought that the number of people who easily approached Horikita with proposals would decrease, but surprisingly, the number of students who brought elaborate proposals increased day by day. Some of the ideas made it onto Horikita's consideration list. However, none of the proposals reached the final stage of adoption. - I'd like a copy of your proposal, then. - Of course I'm ready, but ... not here. Can you give me some time after this if you can? - Yes? Well okay, where do you want me to go? - I'll be in an empty classroom in the special building in half an hour. I have the teacher's permission. - Empty classroom? After saying that to Horikita, who returned the question curiously, Satou turned around and met my eyes, which were looking at her, and immediately approached me. - Hey, Ayanokouji-kun. Do you have time after this? - Me? I have nothing special going. - You've heard what I've said before, right? I need you to come with me and Horikita-san in half an hour. - Why me too? - That is a secret for now. You will know when you come. Like his attitude towards Horikita earlier, Satou's face was filled with confidence. - I'll be waiting for you then. After checking the time on her mobile phone, Satou rushed out of the classroom. - What's wrong with her? She seemed so sure of herself. - You mean I had something special in mind?

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - Still, did he need to call us that? He didn't know what his true intentions were, but that would be revealed in 30 minutes. Horikita and I decided to kill some time in the classroom before heading to the special building.

-----4----Since we were going to the same place anyway, I went with Horikita to the special building. When I arrived in front of Satou's designated classroom, I somehow found Maezono there. - I 'll be on duty. I don't think anyone comes to the special building after classes, but just in case. - On call? ... It's much more elaborate than I thought. He was surprised that they had even put in place a security system, although it was a prerequisite to keeping secret until the day of the event which grade and class would do what. The same happens to me. Not only did he offer to rent a classroom in a special school building, he even set up a guard to prevent third-party intervention. In addition, there was a simple but effective barrier to prevent people from seeing the interior of the classroom through the windows. - Let's see what's inside, shall we? - Oh wait a minute. From here, everything is practical, so both you and Horikita-san can experience it as clients. - That is what I meant. Ok, this is much easier to understand than looking at a poorly written proposal. Seeing how elaborate the process has been, Horikita's expectations are undeniably high. Whether they decide to hire her is another matter, but it is already clear that they are making a real effort to win the cultural festival. For her part, Horikita

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year must be happy. Horikita and I double-checked that no one was around, and then we slowly opened the door. The first thing that caught our attention was the unexpected coloring. The decorations were so bright that it was hard to believe it was a simple, inorganic classroom. - This is… - Welcome to our Café Maid, Maimai! At the same time, three girls greeted us, each one wearing a different outfit. Satou, who had called us, and Matsushita, next to her, are wearing maid uniforms. Mi-chan, eyes swimming in embarrassment, is wearing a Chinese dress. By the way, although the classrooms used to use monitors, it seemed that the special building, which was used less frequently, still had a blackboard. The name of the cafe was written on it. They pointed me to my seat and handed me a handcrafted menu list. - What can I serve you? Teacher. - Wait a moment. Can I ask you something before ordering? - Hmm? That? - Doesn't it take a lot of time and money to prepare this? It certainly seems like a difficult task if you ask me if I can prepare it on the same day. Even if you can do your best to decorate, what about the costumes? - Matsushita-san, how long did it take you? - It took me about 4 days to prepare. The cost was surprisingly reasonable, I would say. We use a total of 13,200 points. The three of us here, and Maezono-san split the cost, which turned out to be 3,300 points per person. We rented 3 sets of outfits and bought origami paper and pens to decorate at the store. It's our china, so we don't use any points on that.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year I see, that's why the dishes didn't match. Of course, as we are still in the planning phase, this will not be a negative factor. In fact, I am again impressed by how well they have prepared the event while keeping costs to a minimum. - The impact was perfect, better than anything I've ever seen. But... Horikita praised the performance and said it had struck the audience perfectly, but was not naive enough to make a decision about what to perform. - The most crucial component, the budget. It's done? I would like to see the process in detail. In response, Satou turned her eyes to Mii-chan, without panic. - Well, I have tried to put everything I could into a proposal. Pulling out a folder, Miichan handed it to Horikita. There were three pages with detailed information in beautiful letters, probably written by Mi-chan. - Although we said we were going to rent suits, we got quotes from three different companies and rented one suit each. This is a comparison of prices, quality and selection. The cost difference between the cheapest and the most expensive dishes to be used that day. The number of people expected, and the difference in the number of guests to be accommodated. - It is more complete than any proposal you have seen. Is awesome. When I sincerely praised her, Satou and Matsushita pointed out that they were praising her while poking Miichan in the side. The person in question still looked embarrassed, but bowed his head to come out gracefully. So far, Satou and his team have given us a perfect score for their proposal. Nevertheless… - It is definitely an interesting show. It may not be an uncommon genre, but it has a lot of potential if you put your mind to it. However, there are some downsides. The cost of the suit rental is 4,000 points per suit. That is 40,000 points for 10 suits if the proposal is correct. The remainder is 50,000 points for the estimated cost of preparing drinks

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year and snacks. In total there are 90,000 ... With 5,000 points for the decoration of the classroom, plus the cost of the premises, it is ... It is not a cheap business. Despite the fact that the workforce does not require salaries and can be obtained without difficulty, almost half of the current budget will be used for a single event. - Well that's true ... But I think we can afford to raise prices! The list of menus that Satou and his colleagues have put together, for example, shows 800 points for a cup of tea. For example, a cup of tea costs 800 points, which is more expensive than a cup of tea at a coffee shop in Keyaki Mall. Of course, the price could be revised down based on future adjustments, but they still think that it has a good chance of being sold. Horikita's face was serious as she read the three pages of the proposal. However, the costumes of the people around her, Satou and the others, seem fairy tale or unreal, but wonderful about it. Finally, perhaps having come to a conclusion, Horikita looks up. - To be clear, no one has seen this show, right? - Of course. Matsushita said confidently. Satou and Mii-chan echoed his words. - Well. I'll do my best to get this maid cafe through. Would you be willing to examine the proposal further, including cost reduction in depth? - Seriously? That's great! The three exchanged a delighted look. - It is too early to rejoice. Do not forget that we are still in the process of discussion. Even though she said that, it would be a great reward to receive a promise from Horikita saying that she would handle it accordingly. When we both stepped out into the hall, Maezono, who had been watching us, greeted us cheerfully. Surely the conversation in the classroom would have reached Maezono's ears.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - They are buying a lot of things, right? I didn't think you would say that you would do something accordingly. - I'm not going to give a thumbs up if I don't think it has a chance. In fact, most of the ideas they brought us were rejected on the spot or at best I've booked one or two. That's how powerful your idea is A maid cafe is not that unusual. However, Horikita was willing to help out because she saw the potential for our class to demonstrate its strengths and impress guests. - So even if another class adopts the same coffee maid, can we still win? - Yes. Didn't you think so? - I'm not sure. If you open a food store, you will have to fight with various rivals. On the other hand, even if there are one or two Maids cafes, you can defeat them with your skill. Aside from the three students who wore the sample costumes, there are still many strong talents latent in the class. - So that's all. I'm going to need your cooperation to make sure these girls get their project. - Cooperation? Don't tell me you want me to wear a costume too? - What nonsense are you saying? If we're going to do it, we have to give it our all. If we are going to do this, we have to have the best, right? I think you as a boy should be the one to do those things. (NT: Here Horikita is asking Ayanokouji to find people (pretty girls) from the class who are suitable for making maid coffee) - No ... Well, I don't know if you mean what you say, but ... I'm sure there are other suitable candidates. - You're right. If it's something like that, maybe Ike-kun, Hondou-kun and the others have a better eye for it. But if I tell you about this, it could cause an information leak. You already know how they are. - You cannot deny that.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year These are the students who might inadvertently do something with no intention of leaking it. - I don't expect to have more people aware of this. You get it right? - I see. Maybe it was my bad luck that Satou called me, and this was now my destiny. - So I'll leave the selection to you first. Of course, you can tell the project to whoever you choose, but remember to keep it a secret. If something goes wrong, the project will disappear. That's how important it is to protect information. - Yes ... That's why I want the number of people who share information to be the minimum. Can I leave it all to you? We will make a formal budget later, and you will take care of everything, from hiring, management and total spending - Wait a minute. You're throwing everything all at once. Are you going to leave it all to me? - We are not going to do a single event for this festival. We will open various positions, to balance genders as well as talents. Trying to increase sales with a lower budget is also quite difficult, so I prefer to focus on that. As much as I wanted her to focus her attention on that, I still wondered why she gave all of this to me. - I'll assume you accepted this position, right? I don't recall showing any pretense to take the job, but the decision was made with or without my consent. - I can't believe you really made me accept this ... I wonder if it is possible for me to run an ideal maid cafe. I can't say I'm very confident.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year If Satou, Matsushita and Mii-chan make it up, how many more people should be maids…? Although there was still a long time left, it seemed necessary to make a decision soon. - I'm going directly to the student council room, see you. - Oh okay… On the way to the dormitories, after dealing with a case that made me want to hold my head in my hands, I was about to leave the special building when I spotted Professor Chabashira. Given the location, it was unlikely that he was passing through. - Did you go to see Satou and the others? I heard about the event proposal. They probably wanted to show you something. Sounds like a good idea. - That's true. Satou and the others will need to confirm that the event meets the application requirements before they can start preparing. It would be bad if they didn't get permission for this after seriously preparing for it. - I was wondering how they were doing, personally, so I thought I'd go see how they were doing. How have you been? - Horikita also gave him a thumbs up. Now we are working out the details. - I see. So I guess I don't have to go out of my way to see them. - However, we have been involved in this and it has become a bit complicated. - what do you mean? - Under Horikita's direction, I will be the organizer of the event. - Ayanokouji? That's ... again. Professor Chabashira giggled a little when she shot me a pitying look. - That's fine. Horikita also makes some very interesting suggestions.

(NT: nickname for Sotomura) Although it was called a café maid, I couldn't see anything in its background. - When it comes to understanding otaku culture, that may be true. But the most important thing in a cultural festival is the sales. They can improve the quality of performances, but they are not good at calculating and making a profit. That is why it is important that you are the organizer. It is a problem that can be solved by asking for their opinion if necessary.

I was about to leave, but Professor Chabashira stopped me in my tracks. - Ayanokouji. Can you spare me a few minutes of your time next time…? - Next time?

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Chapter 2 - Two Masters, And A Special Exam Of Destiny The day after I was installed as a maid coffee organizer. When Chabashira entered the class, from his rigid expression, most of the students immediately realized that there was something strange. However, unlike before, the words "special test" were not the first to appear in our minds. The main reason was that we were convinced that our next special exam would be the sports festival. In addition, the cultural festival was already planned for after the sports festival. - Before the October sports festival, they will have to face a new special test. A tremor ran through most of the students. Last year around this time, there were no other special tests and we had already started preparing for the sports festival. However, it seemed that this year would be different. - Another test? And we just passed the difficult survival test of the uninhabited island ... As was customary at this point, the first person to speak was Ike, complaining as usual. Ike had just gotten over the expulsion from the uninhabited island and was finally establishing a romantic relationship with Satsuki Shinohara. By then, he was already imagining the many dangers that lay ahead. No matter how close he got and how well he built the relationship, depending on the special test, expulsion was always on the table. There was no doubt that, especially those students who ranked low in the [OAA], felt the danger in a similar way. - Heh, I'm ready for this. Before I beat them all at the sports festival, I am looking forward to another special test. Sudou, who was extremely confident of his athletic abilities, clenched his fists. - Do not be put off. - It's okay.

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Sudou fell silent, somewhat dejected, after Horikita immediately warned him. That's a good master-servant relationship ... No, you could say they are developing a friend relationship. - Honestly speaking, in recent years we have rarely had a special test at this time of year. And actually, freshmen and juniors don't have to take a special exam now. - So only we sophomores are the ones who will do a special test before the sports festival? Satou asked, leaning forward from her previous position with her back to the chair. In full agreement with her, Chabashira nodded. - Even the school highly values excellent sophomores. - Ehhh? Burdening ourselves with a special test because they value us ... isn't that strange? - It is true that each special test carries an element of risk to be concerned about. You can lose class or private points and, in some cases, some of you may even be expelled. But in another sense, you might even say that you have more opportunities to live a more fulfilling student life. In fact, to achieve Class A, a goal that everyone should consider more important than anything else, each additional special test is a gift for an opportunity. She is correct. If we wanted to earn a large number of class points, it would be extremely difficult for us to accumulate them in our daily life alone. In fact, if we were to say that not having a special test often could mean that we would surely lose class points. Whether it was the uninhabited island survival test or any other test, the special tests gave us our first chance to rise to the upper classes. - Fortune and misfortune are two sides of the same coin. It is precisely because there is a risk that we have something to gain, right? Horikita calmly accepted Chabashira's words and asked closely.

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - Exactly. - We have nothing to fear. As of now, we are certainly under pressure from Class A. All classes below Class B are side by side, and the opportunity to move on and leave them behind has come soon. Every opportunity counts. That was the common understanding of all of us as we aimed for the top. - That's right ... But it's not like the proof disappeared because he wasn't happy about it, right? Satou and the rest of our classmates seemed to agree with Horikita's words. While it is not close to completion yet, Horikita's growth as a mainstay of the class has definitely had a positive impact on the class. Chabashira herself must have been delighted with that, but she didn't show any of it on her face. He had never been one to let his stern expression escape, but I have a feeling it was much more true right now than before. - This time, they will face the 'Special Exam of Unanimous Consent. The monitor came on and, as usual, a video began to play along with the explanation. - The special test this time is extremely simple. So if you have any questions, I will answer them as any arise. The quiz will take place tomorrow, and as I'm sure you can guess from the name, it will involve the class over and over again on a multiple choice question until the whole class reaches a consensus. - Tomorrow? ... that seems terribly rushed. There wasn't even time to prepare. Of course, he wouldn't make it unfair or give anyone an advantage or a disadvantage, but just as the class quieted down, he tensed again. - As I just said, this test is very simple. The school considers that it is not necessary for you to take the time to prepare and has decided that there is no problem in doing it tomorrow.

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year The class will have to vote over and over again and over again until we reach a consensus. Certainly, just because of that, it was difficult to see something complicated in the test. - So, we won't compete against other classes this time, right? Considering it more important than anything else, Yousuke immediately requested clarification on that point. - Yes. This time, the test will be completed within the class itself and there is no need to compete with your rival classes. Tomorrow, the test will begin with five "motions" from the school. The content of the motions will be the same for all classes, so there will be no discrimination. If the motions were different, the level of difficulty could vary from class to class, so much was obvious. - Let's get right to this with an example of a motion to make it clear. Sample Motion: You will lose five class points, but all class members will get 10,000 private points. Options: Support | Stand against The motion was displayed on screen and, as announced, it was simple and very easy to understand. - Hmm? What is this? Umm ... so we will lose five points, but in turn we will all get ten thousand private points ... Is this a motion? Is this a good offer? Or bad? It was not unreasonable that many had several unexpected doubts. Although it was just an example of a motion, we were hoping for something that would make us think more about our choices. Shinohara, who made the above statement, flexed his fingers while doing the profit and loss calculations in his head. For each class point, we receive 100 private points every month. So five class points were worth 500 private points. At first glance, it would seem that the private points were worth much more. However, the class points would still have value over time.

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year For just one month, five class points would be worth only 500 private points, but if you consider over the span of a year, those same five class points would be worth 6,000 private points. Until we graduate, that is, in the period between October of our second year and March of our third year, we would receive private points 18 times more. So those five class points were worth 9,000 private points. Would you rather earn 10,000 points now or receive 9,000 points over time until they graduate? Considering only the value of private points, the first one was a little better. However, it was not that simple. Say, if the five class points that we lost now continue to affect us until we graduate and cause us to miss out on the opportunity to become Class A, we would look back at the past right now and think of it as the worst possible option. Of course, the margin between victory and defeat was not very likely to be just five class points. And on the other hand, it was completely plausible to have situations where getting 10,000 private points would be worth more. So there were pros and cons on both sides of the argument. - In response to this motion, all 39 will vote a secret ballot for one of the available options. Since seeing is believing, I will have you vote on this issue now. I'm sure you have a lot of questions, but without wasting time discussing it, I want you to give it a try. On your Tablet, tap the Support or Oppose button. Following Chabashira's instructions, the screens on our tablets changed. On the screen, the motion was displayed along with the Support and Oppose option buttons. What an unusual special test. For now, let's think about this seriously. Private points, which do not directly affect our class points. Supporting this measure would lead to all my colleagues receiving 10,000 points, a clear gain. SPerobargo, along with that, we would lose only five, but still, five class points. In this situation, we must consider what a person's instinctual response would be.

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year It's not about whether you want to earn 10,000 private points or not lose five class points, but the other way around. It is a question of which choice you would not regret having made. I was sure there would be few votes in favor, so I decided to hit the Support button and watch the results unfold. He had judged that unanimity in the first round would not be a good idea. - Well, you all have voted, so I'll show you the results now. With that signal, the result was displayed on the monitor. Results of the first vote: 3 votes in favor, 36 votes against. He knew that the opposition would get the most votes, but he did not expect the margin to be that large. - Umm? Wouldn't 10,000 points be more than what we would get little by little with the five class points? Did I mess up the calculation? Why are so many opposed? Ike had apparently voted in favor of the motion, so he looked around the class and wondered aloud. - While it is true that 10,000 private points are worth more, class points are essential to our goal of reaching Class A. Since the difference is only a thousand private points, there is no need to sacrifice our precious class points for them. Horikita had apparently voted against the motion, and logically explained her reasoning for why. - Had it been the case, if those five points make the difference between victory and defeat, we could never stop blaming ourselves for that. As I thought, most of the students were concerned about the possibility "if it had been the case." Furthermore, we could not forget that the other classes were also facing the same motions. If the other three classes had unanimously agreed to keep their class points, we would be one step behind the rest. Of course, if we had something that we could use 10,000 private points for, the situation would be different.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - I'm sure everyone has their own questions, but listen to me for a moment. Despite the overwhelming majority of 36 votes against, as the result was not unanimous, they will have to vote again. In the actual test, they will have a fixed interval of ten minutes between voting rounds. In that time, you will be allowed to speak freely as you do now, and even leave your seat at times to discuss your opinions. However, for now, we will skip it. Vote again. The goal of this test is to reach a consensus. All rounds in which we failed to reach consensus would be wasted and a ten minute time interval would be imposed on us. Even if we managed to express our opinions quickly, that amount of time was wasted. It was very likely that this test was set with a time limit. It was possible that if we continued without reaching a consensus we were running out of time. In any case, it wouldn't take much thought to realize that we had to select Oppose in the second round of voting. If we select Oppose, we could reach a consensus. Therefore, even in the second round of voting, I deliberately chose to support. I thought doing it would help my classmates to really understand this test. Result of the second vote: 2 votes in favor and 37 votes against - O-Oi! Who keeps voting for support even after what we just discussed? - Sorry, it's me, Sudou-kun. He was deliberately trying to avoid a consensus. It seems that there is someone else who is thinking like me ... isn't it? She wasn't looking at me, but she was probably referring to me. - That is the result of the second round. Most of you have decided to oppose, but there are still two votes for support. In this case, we would once again have the ten minute interval and another round of voting later. In this way, the test will involve repeating this vote-interval-vote pattern until a unanimous decision is reached, that is, 39 votes to

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year support or 39 votes to oppose. Of course, the resolution you make at the end will be adopted. For example, if you got 39 votes for Support in this case, everyone would receive 10,000 private points but the class would lose five class points. And, on the other hand, if there were 39 votes to Oppose, the motion would be archived and nothing would happen. In short, we would move on without anyone gaining or losing anything. - We haven't got a unanimous result yet, but for the sake of time let's move on to the next example. Sample Motion: A class member will receive one million private points. (In case of unanimous assent, the student who will receive the points will be selected and voted on). - I'm sure you have some ideas on the example of the motion, but in the test you are prohibited from discussing the motion before the first round of voting. Therefore, they simply have to consider the motion and vote. Therefore, you will be allowed to discuss your thoughts on the motion before the second round of voting. Results of Round 1: Support 39; Object 0. The result was displayed on the screen and it was completely as expected. Even if only one person in 39 received the money, there was almost no reason to object. Even if someone would get angry about not being able to get the money, it would be difficult to reach a unanimous decision against it. - In testing, for motions like this that require selecting an individual, they will first have to reach a consensus on whether to support or oppose, as was done with the first sample motion. If they choose to object, the motion ends right there, but if they support it, the motion will not end and they will have to move on to the next step. There will be an interval and they will have to discuss and choose a nominee. On your Tablet, you can see everyone's names except yours.

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year My tablet screen changed again and, as she had said, everyone's names except mine appeared on it. But it was not alphabetized and the names were randomly ordered regardless of gender. - To maintain anonymity, the list of names will be reordered randomly each time they vote. This also applies to the Support and Oppose options. This is to prevent neighboring students from finding out who or what you voted for from the position of your finger when you tap. He told us that we couldn't read at all why our neighbors were voting and went on with his explanation. - If your discussions are fruitful, each of you can vote as and when you want. Just touch the name of the student you wish to nominate. Within the interval, you can also reset your choice and change your vote. After the ten minutes, the student chosen by the majority of the class, that is, more than twenty people from this class, will be recognized as a subject. For example, let's say Ike was nominated by the majority and selected. - Hey me ?! That's great! - Since he was selected, Ike will not be able to vote for now. The remaining 38 should vote now. Any student who wins the most votes is pretty close to being a unanimous choice. That's the nomination setup. Voting began for the next step of the motion and we voted. Sample motion: Ike Kanji will receive one million private points. Options: Support | Stand against Result of Round 2: Support 0; Oppose 38. - Eeeeeeh ?! Why didn't anyone vote for me ?! - No, why would we give you a million points? Sudou represented the feelings of the entire class when he said that. - Due to the unanimous result of the opposition to the motion to give Ike a million points, the motion falls. However, that only leads to Ike's name

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year being removed from the list of possible subjects for this motion, and the million-point disbursement remains up in the air. Therefore, they will be able to select one student from the remaining 38 and the motion will continue. However, if you don't pick a subject for the motion and they reach consensus before time runs out, they won't pass the test. Also, the million points will not be awarded to anyone, so be careful. - Hey! You mean my chances of getting that money have become 0? - Exactly. If there was only one vote for you, you would have remained on the list. Additionally, people can also volunteer to be the subject. If someone volunteers in the interval, they will be accepted as a subject on a first come, first serve basis. However, a person can only volunteer once for a particular motion. - But what if no one gets the most nominations or volunteers before time runs out? What will be done then? I think that case is entirely possible. - In that case, someone will be randomly selected from the class and a vote will be taken. Time and motion will not wait for us, someone will be forced to be the subject and we will vote. - So it seems like it would be a waste of time to choose someone from among us. She was right. There were as many options as there were students in the class. However, we cannot say with certainty that we would match the student who was randomly selected. - Keep your wits about you, everyone. This test might be more difficult than we expected ... We cannot assume that all motions will be such that we can speak and reach consensus. It was quite possible that we could be under pressure with a motion where one side would not budge at all. Rather, if it weren't, this special test would be meaningless.

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - Finally, let's look at one last example of a motion. This time, as a practice round, we will take it to its conclusion. Sample Motion: The school has decided to add facilities to the Keyaki Mall. Of the following, which one do you prefer? (The school will choose the facility that receives the most votes of all classes combined.) Options: Restaurant | General Store | Recreational facilities | Hospital Unlike the questions so far, this one was not limited to Support or Oppose and you had four options. I thought it would be restricted to support and opposition votes, but it seems that was not the case. It seems that what we chose would actually come true, but if this wasn't just an example of a motion, I wonder if they would actually build those facilities. - If the motion is approved with Support or Object, it will be adopted as is. On the other hand, motions that can affect the entire student body will take a different approach. For such motions, when consensus is reached, the option chosen by the class will only be considered a vote for that option. Even if this class unanimously elects the restaurant, if the other three classes unanimously elect the recreational facilities, the recreational facilities will have received three votes and added. (For example, class A, B, C chose recreational facilities, but class D chose Restaurant, in this case if it won recreational facilities by majority vote.) I think everyone already understood what Chabashira had explained. Motions were divided into two types: those that had the power to make a change immediately and those that only counted as the class vote in favor of a change. Regardless of the type of motion, we had to be careful and argue among ourselves to reach a unanimous decision. As we were not allowed to speak before the first round of voting, I voted based on my intuition. Results of Round 1: Restaurant 20; General Store 4; Recreational facilities 15; Hospital 0.

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - Since we did not get a unanimous result, we will now have a ten minute interval. For the first time, we were going to have the interval time period. The monitor behind the pedestal began to count down for ten minutes. As soon as the timer ended, we would be forced to move on to the next round of voting. Students were allowed to leave their seats freely, speak loudly to each other or whisper to specific people, and build consensus using whatever means they wanted. I observed my surroundings and waited. The ten minutes passed without anyone making the decisions and most of the people just randomly talked to each other. - Just before the interval is over, they will have to return to their seats and prepare to vote. You will have to vote within 60 seconds. If everyone finishes voting quickly, they won't have to wait for the time limit to pass and the results will be displayed immediately. Unlike the ten minute interval, we were allowed to reduce the duration of the voting round. - And those who do not finish voting within the 60 second period will be strictly penalized for the excess time invested. Each student will have a 90 second grace timer for the entire exam. If any student takes a total of 90 seconds of overtime before all five motions are made, their grace timer will drop to 0 and they will be expelled. This was the school's restriction to ensure that we all voted safely. If someone got upset and did not want to vote, they would be expelled quickly. Even if someone tried to delay the procedures every time we had to vote, if they didn't finish voting in the 58th or 59th second, they would start to pull out of their precious grace timer, so it would be unlikely that someone would go out of their way to try that And so, the results of the second round of voting. Results of Round 2: Restaurant 23; General Store 2; Recreational facilities 14; Hospital 0.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year As there was no attempt to reach a consensus, we obtained a result very similar to that of the first round. For motions that were not very precise, it would have been difficult to get a consensus opinion in the first round. Along with that, it wouldn't be too difficult to join in on one option and get 39 votes. However, that was only true for motions that were within the scope of our expectations. Depending on the motion, we may also require a considerable amount of discussion. - Let's finish with this example here, but I think the flow of the exam should be clear by now. To pass this test, they must reach a consensus on five motions in a five-hour period. If they can't finish all the motions within the five-hour period, an extremely severe fine awaits you. They will lose 300 class points. - Three hundred?! So in this special test, it was absolutely essential to clear the motions. - But if they manage to complete the motions within the time limit, they will receive 50 class points. Risk and reward didn't seem balanced at first glance, but considering the difficulty of the test, it seemed appropriate. - Don't panic, guys. We don't have to fight anyone else this time, we just have to unite our opinions. As long as we have time, we can repeat the vote over and over again with the interval between them. Hirata said: - I'm sure everyone has understood the key points of this test. Now I will show you a summary of the test rules. Those who find it useful to keep a copy of the rules for reference can take a screenshot.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Summary of the special test of unanimous consent [Explanation of the rules] - In response to motions made by the school, all class members will have to vote on the options. - (There will be five questions in total. There will be a maximum of four options for each question). - As long as the response to a particular motion is not unanimous, the same motion will be repeated again. - In the event that time runs out before unanimous consent for a motion is not reached, regardless of the progress of that motion, the response will not be recognized. - A unanimous response to any motion will be recognized, regardless of the success or failure of the remainder of the test. - The clarification of all the questions raised will award the class 50 points. - If any of the questions are not answered within the five hour limit, you will lose your 300 class points. [The special test procedure] - A motion will be made. Voting will begin for 60 seconds. - If the answer is unanimous, continue with the next motion and return to 1, otherwise, continue with 3. - There will be a ten minute break. During this period, students can move and talk within the class as they wish. - Voting will begin again for 60 seconds. During this period, students cannot speak and can only vote. (If any student has not finished voting within 60 seconds, the overtime will be counted against the grace period for that student. If any student uses more than 90 seconds of the grace period, they will be expelled). - The results of the vote will be presented. If the answer is unanimous, move on to the next motion and return to 1. Otherwise, repeat from 3

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year repeating these steps over and over, once five motions are completed, the special test is performed. In case we fail, we will be penalized. It would not be an exaggeration to say that losing 300 class points at this stage would be equivalent to losing our ticket to Class A. If the other classes could pass the test, that alone would fall behind by 350 points. While we could discuss all we want, I'm sure the biggest obstacle would be the secret ballot, which would prevent us from knowing who had voted for what. Even if someone voted to Support, they could swear that they had voted to Oppose. - Even we teachers have no idea what kind of motions they will face tomorrow. I'm sure many of you are optimistic, but I will warn you not to let your guard down. In this test, it is strictly forbidden to make contracts or the like with others to restrict them to vote only for a specific option of a motion. It is also not allowed to exchange money to buy votes. Consider that this is as applicable within the class as it is between classes. Therefore, you are not allowed to control someone else's votes. To some extent, they were allowed to band together to fix the votes, but it could not be verified that all had done what they promised. Let's say you signed a contract with someone to vote for only one of the options. The existence of a single person who had promised to vote only on one of the options could cause the test to collapse. With that alone, one class could brutally attack another class. - The school will be watching to ensure that the rules are followed. If someone outside the class is known to have made people choose the same option over and over again, everyone involved can be mercilessly expelled. Keep it in mind. Also, if any of you are the target of foul play, please come to the school immediately and I promise that we will spare no effort to ensure that it is resolved.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year If we run out of time on this special test where it is assumed to be clear, the school will certainly do an investigation. Even if someone just broached the subject, they could likely face severe penalties, so even someone like Ryuuen would refrain from doing so openly. It was probably best to refrain from clumsily interacting with students from other classes until before the start of this test. - Also, the protection point will be temporarily ineffective in this test. The reason for this is that it will be impossible to have a fair special exam if there is only one student who is protected. If a student with a point of protection is expelled in any way, the point of protection cannot be used to reverse the expulsion. However, expulsion can only be avoided if the individual or the entire class pays 20 million private points. This class doesn't have that many private points at the moment. Which means that any student who is expelled will certainly be expelled. Does this mean that the points of protection that can override the expulsion once are restricted? If it were a special test against another class, the temporary cancellation of protection points could cause discontent. But in this case, it is only a question of class. In that sense, it is not surprising that this special rule applies. It was inevitable that there would be some complaint, but Kouenji didn't seem to mind. - Additionally, all communication devices, such as cell phones, will be collected during the special exam. This is because you are not allowed to talk to anyone outside of class on this test. In the unlikely event that you are found to be carrying a concealed device, we will no longer have to discuss the details. This also implies expulsion, like any other rule to follow. -----1----When it was time for lunch, Yosuke quickly got up from his seat and made his way to the podium.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - Before lunch. I think I'd like to hear what everyone has to say. What do you think? When he asked all the classmates this question, Kushida raised her hand to answer. - You know that this special exam means there will be conflicts about the different options, right? - Of course. There is no need to go through the trouble of a special examination if we can come to an agreement without any hassle. - Well then, wouldn't it be better to have a clear leader in case we can't reach consensus on our options? I am sure that if we follow the choices that the leader finally makes, we will pass the special exam without a hitch. - That's how it is. I agree with your opinion, Kushida-san, but the leader's responsibility is more important. The more options there are, the more criticism there will be from students who support the option that was not chosen. It will take a leader who knows how to organize well. -

If you don't mind… could it be Horikita-san?

- Me? - Yes. You have been a leader many times in the past, and I thought you could organize everyone well so that there is no injustice. Of course, like Hirata-kun said, it's a big responsibility, and if Horikita-san says it's okay, it will be good ... - I agree. Similar strategies may be developed by other classes, and it is a measure that will be needed when there are differences of opinion. If you don't feel comfortable following my instructions when the time comes, you can tell me now. Not many students run for leadership or say something negative when they find out they would be responsible. Kushida's proposal was easily approved, and it was agreed that Horikita would be the leader of the group in case of emergency.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year For a while, we exchanged many opinions, but we did not decide on any particular important element. It was getting late and it was time to eat. - Let's eat, Yukimu and Miyacchi are coming, right? They both agreed and got up as Haruka turned around to confirm. Members of the Ayanokouji group. A small group of five, including me. Just as the five of us started to meet up, a student ran up to us. As soon as I looked at her, the student raised her voice. - Kiyotaka, let's eat. Without pause, but with a nervous look in her eyes, she called out to me. No one was paying attention to the fact that Kei was coming towards me, nor was anyone approaching me, nor was anyone intending to overhear the conversation. However, all thirty-six, except Kouenji, looked at us at the same time. - Sorry guys, I think I'll have lunch with Kei today. Before anyone could figure out what was going on, I pulled back my chair and stood up. - I want to go to a coffee shop. Agree? - Wait to...? Wait wait wait. Why are you suddenly interrupting us, Karuizawa-san? - It's not really a rule of thumb, is it? Did you hear Kiyotaka's refusal? - I have heard it. what do you mean? But were you going to come with us? What, 'Kei'? A little late, Haruka begins to understand that we call each other by our first names. No, you may not have understood most of it yet. - I'm sorry, but I'm his girlfriend and I'm his priority. You know? - That?

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - She...? Haruka and Airi muttered at the same time, although their reactions were completely different. - Therefore, I may not be able to attend our group meetings as often as I would like. - Come on, let's go. Kei said, tugging on my arm as we left the classroom. The fact that her face was starting to turn red showed that she was feeling quite ashamed. I didn't expect him to express himself like that either ... Haruka, Airi and the rest of the students were too stunned to follow us. -----2----Thanks to Kei's bold action, our relationship, which few knew about until now, became known to the entire class. It will probably extend to the entire course at the end of the day. Well, I am skeptical about how many students would be interested in the relationship between Kei and me. Ike and Shinohara's partner, who became a couple over the summer break, didn't make as much noise as I expected in terms of buzz. Rather, it was a combination that had been expected. Although some of the boys were defensive and sincerely jealous of some of their friends, the fact that they were blessed made no difference, and they are slowly but surely developing a relationship as lovers. The frequency with which they saw each other, came home together, went out together, etc., was increasing rapidly. And scenes that were novel at first will one day become commonplace. I'm sure it's the same for me and kei, but we're probably going to make more noise than Ike and Shinohara for a long time. I'm not sure how many of the students could have predicted our relationship.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Anyway, the first day comes after school lunch and the whole class finds out about the relationship. As you know from the last class, a girl has been around since noon, but she hasn't looked at me once since lunch. - Hey, Kiyopon, do you want to come home with me? Haruka, a good friend and mentor of Airi, comes up to me and calls me. - I was hoping Kei would suggest that we go home together after class, but when I looked at her I saw that she was still surrounded by girls asking her questions. - Are you sure? With Haruka, he was sure that he would do something to help or keep an eye on Airi. Airi quietly and quietly prepares to leave. - I know, but there is nothing I can tell you now. And good? If there's a reason why Kiyopon can't go home alone with me, that's another story. Saying this, Haruka's expression hardened for a moment. - Agree. Now that our relationship has been made known, the chances of meeting the Ayanokouji group will inevitably diminish. So we both grabbed our backpacks and headed for the back exit. Along the way, Haruka walked without saying a word. Every now and then he caught a glimpse of her, and she seemed angry or sad or something. When I leave school, he finally looks at me. - It's useless to ask indirectly, so I'm going to ask you directly, is it true that you and Karuizawa-san started dating? I still can't believe it. - As you have seen, it is true. When I said that, Haruka's lips moved and then she nodded quickly.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - Sorry. But I was very surprised. It's not that I don't care who Kiyopon dates, it's that I didn't expect it to be Karuizawa-san, of all people. Do not you think? Kei Karuizawa's reputation from the other side is not very high. Most of them probably have the impression that she was a selfish woman who hooked up with the popular Yousuke too early and left him for her own reasons. - So this is what you were talking about earlier in the pool, about getting a little mental shock. You know, it's not a little shock at all, is it? She was trying her best to stay calm in the classroom, but she was crying throughout the lunch break. - Is this so? - Not well". ... And they started dating during spring break, really? - I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I have many things to do. I had some circumstances. - Circumstances, huh? Well, there are a lot of rumors about Karuizawasan, so I guess I can understand that, but ... She had been dating Yousuke from the moment he entered school, and she had fabricated her past herself. It is inevitable that they have that perception. - This is real, right? It's not like it's a joke or something. - It is. - Ha ... I see. That's how it is. I'm also so confused ... No, no, I had in my imagination that Kiyopon was seeing someone, or that he was in love with someone other than Airi ... No, no, I couldn't guess that it would be Karuizawa-san. He lamented as he held his head with his hands when he saw that all his predictions were wrong. - I spoke a bit with Yukimu and Miyacchi and they had the same opinion as me. I haven't heard from them directly, but I think Airi's shock was greater than ours.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year I guess so. I can easily imagine it. - I mean, what is the story? They didn't seem like they had many connections at all. It is not surprising. - I was in the same group as Kei at last year's zodiac test. From there, we gradually had more and more opportunities to talk, and when Yousuke and Kei decided to separate, our relationship started to take off. In February of this year, the fact that their relationship had ended reached the ears of some students. - So they have known you for a long time? It seems you didn't talk to her much. - We communicated mostly by phone. - I'm going to ask you a lot of questions, but which one of you went to confession? As a tutor and spokesperson for Airi, I wanted to know more about it. - It was me. - Then. If it was at least from Karuizawa, I thought I might still have hope, but I didn't expect it to be from Kiyopon… I'm overwhelmed. He slaps his forehead and raises his hands in surrender. - It's late. There is so much information that I am going to lose track of what is going on. Sorry, but can I stop by the store? Just as we were approaching the store, Haruka suggested it. - Yes, I'll wait outside. Apologizing slightly, Haruka hurried into the convenience store. Meanwhile, I pulled out my phone, which had been vibrating in my pocket several times. [See you at the mall after this. I had a hard time answering your questions]

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - This afternoon, Airi and I were talking so much that we couldn't have lunch. - Sorry to bother you. - No, I'm not trying to say that she is annoying or anything, but ... - I'm not sure if this is the right time, but there is actually something I would like to ask of Haruka and, if possible, Airi as well to help me. - Help you? - It is not public information yet, but we have decided on one of the events for the festival. - Ah? Yes? - To prevent the information from leaking out, only I, Horikita, and the planners know about the information. We are going to have a maid coffee as an event at the cultural festival. - Coffee maid? Something like that ... I'm not that surprised, but a little ... I don't think Horikita-san would approve of a coffee maid. - In this case, I guess he allowed it because he thought they could compete purely as a coffee maid without any prejudice. - I see. And why did you mention it to me? - In fact, since I found out about this project, I had to take care of many things. When I said that, Haruka nodded in understanding. - Even if the situation was like this, Horikita-san, who entrusted it to Kiyopon, who can also be a part of it. - So I'm thinking of asking Haruka and Airi to be maids. Unsurprised, Haruka listens to him with an indescribable look on her face. I guess I could have guessed something from the way he was speaking. - If it hadn't been for the incident with Karuizawa-san, I could have agreed right now, even if I have my doubts.

The day she found out about her best friend's heartbreak, it would certainly be out of place for her to ask for this. - The only problem is, I can't blame Kiyopon. I've said similar things before, but you're free to date whoever you want, and I don't understand why you couldn't tell me. Airi is free to fall in love with Kiyopon, and she is also free to be rejected ... It is as if they are literally convinced, but their emotions do not accept it. - I can not promise anything. But when things settle down a bit, I'll talk to Airi. - Are you sure? - Sooner or later, she will have to accept reality. Also, I don't know how Kiyopon feels about it, but if it's with Karuizawa-san, he may not have to give up. I mean, even if Kiyopon is determined, there's always a chance they'll break up, right? - Well, I think there are chances that that will happen. - When that time comes, it means that Airi will have another chance. She is a gem that hasn't really stood out yet… Kiyopon's feelings might change as well. It's true that if Airi wore that kind of suit and gave it her all, she would be as good as those three. No, if you include his physical characteristics, he might even be able to beat them. Also, even if she has no relation to the guests of honor, the school staff would be surprised to see Airi. If this happened, rumors would quickly circulate around the school and could reach the ears of the guests. - No, it's true, but I'm sure Airi will change her mind after this incident. When the person you are in love with has a girlfriend, it is natural to look for the next love.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year I thought I had said the obvious, but she shot me the most furious look of the day. - Aren't you taking Airi's feelings too lightly? I've been watching it for a long time, so I know exactly what you mean. Her feelings for Kiyopon aren't so light that she changes her mind about who she likes for something like that. He flatly refuses. - I'm sure you will have more dates with Karuizawa-san, but make sure you show up at our group meetings. I don't want us to distance ourselves over this. - Yes, I understand. This group has become a part of my life here at school. - Well, I feel a little better. I will return . He said this while lightly finishing his kibble. He didn't say much, but it was clear that he was going to see Airi. - See you tomorrow. - Yes, see you tomorrow. I watched her go back to the bedroom, and then I turned around to go to the Keyaki Mall. -----3----I walked Kei back to the dorm from the Keyaki Mall, chatting with her. Then, in the hall of the bedrooms, Horikita was sitting on the couch, waiting for someone. I hit the elevator to the first floor, and when Kei and I went up, Horikita did too. - Ayanokouji-kun, can I talk to you? The elevator stops at the fourth floor, where my room is located. - See you later, Kiyotaka. Kei gets jealous easily, but her ability to understand the situation is not low.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year She knows that Horikita is not subject to these kinds of differences in the first place, and when she found out about the special exam, she can make up her mind before thinking that it would be better not to disturb her. - Yes. I'll get in touch with you. A year ago, I never would have believed that we would end up spending time together like this. When I came down, Horikita came down with me. I turned around to see Kei smiling and waving at me from the elevator as it began to close. The elevator soon closed and he went up. - How long have you been together? - How many? - Rumor has it, spring break, but I guess the relationship really started earlier. He said these words to me with a hint in his eyes. - I do not know. Whether or not there is a reason behind Horikita's words, I am not interested in and do not want to touch that point. - That's not the point. Did you say you wanted to talk to me? - Yes. I have something I want you to hear about the special test. You will do it? - Yes, no problem. - Eh yes. - Why this reaction? - I was prepared for you to say no. Didn't you look unhappy the other day when I put you in charge of the cafe maid? He was apparently surprised by how easily I accepted his inquiry. - It's here, go to the bedroom, please.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Standing in the hallway, you never know who can hear you. Room 401, I opened my room and went inside. - You won't ask me to help you, will you? - It's ... I don't know. In the meantime, if you listen to me, I'll move on. Perhaps thinking that I would be rejected if I explained it wrong, Horikita started to speak. - I have been thinking about taking a semi-mandatory exam before the exam if I want to make sure we pass this special exam. But even if we prepared for it, it would be impossible to reach a consensus unless we knew what the task is, right? - Depending on the situation, we will inevitably have to use different options. Even if there were only two options, yes or no, it would not be more than reckless to decide to vote only yes or only no before the motion and vote illusionally. - You've thought of everything, haven't you, Horikita? How do you think you will pass this special exam? - I think the shortest way to pass the special exam is for someone to have the last word. No matter how many options there are, no matter how the votes are divided, you have to promise to follow the judgment and will of the predetermined leader. This is what Kushida suggested during the day. A strategy that does not take into account whether an individual is dissatisfied with the option. It would surely be easier if that agreement could be reached. - I hope that really brings us together. - There will always be students who are not satisfied with some decisions ... If this had been a dictatorial class like Ryuuen's, it could have been faster. As for coercive power, unlike us who ask for it, Ryuuen will be able to wield it ruthlessly. But whether it works in reality is another matter.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - The fact that all voting is anonymous means that students who are dissatisfied with Ryueen's government can vote against it. There is no guarantee that a simple order will exempt them. - Students who are unhappy with his methods may rebel against him. But there is nothing to be gained from it. After all, if the vote is divided and time runs out, the whole class suffers the damage, right? I'm sure they'll come together if we leave them alone. - I know what you mean, but it is a contradiction. Nobody wants to fail a special exam. So the votes will always unite. If that basic premise holds, then there is no need for strategy from the start, right? - It is... - No student wants to run out of time to the detriment of the class, but don't think you can complete all five assignments if left alone. It makes less sense for the school to call it a special test. - You're right. - What you can do now is prepare your mind to be flexible. For example, what would you do if you were faced with an issue with 38 for and 1 against? - Of course I would try to get the one who is against to vote yes. - Of course. And what if the only person who disagrees and does not give in? - That... - The 38 who agree do not always win. In trying to persuade the opposition, some of the 38 students who were in favor may change their minds. - Even if one person's idea is detrimental to the class as a whole? - It all depends on what it is. I wouldn't be surprised if they had prepared a motion for me that couldn't be resolved, or something like that.

I don't think your relationship with Karuizawa has anything to do with it. But what do you think? - It is not really a query. In some small corner of your mind, you must have started to think about such a development. - Yes, ... Then I'll tell you the main reason I approached you. I have a proposal for a special exam tomorrow. I could ask someone else to do it, but I want someone who understands. - Do you want me to always vote against each first option? - Can you please not get ahead of my thoughts? Seeing her get frustrated, I distanced myself from Horikita. - It was something he was going to do, in case no one else suggested it. I didn't think we had the same idea. - Is this so? I could see Horikita's anger dissipate, seemingly a little convinced by the proper excuse. It is true that it was an idea that should be done at least like that, so it would be similar. It is better to avoid the risk of making unexpected decisions as a result of biases caused by the momentum of the situation. - Matches can be a bit scary, even if you're 99% sure you agree or disagree, or if you're asking between two options that have both advantages and disadvantages. - If the vote is skewed and passes as a result of a random vote, it cannot be undone. However, the strategy of always using an interval at least once is not always a good thing. It is better to take it into account. There is a risk that what would have been unanimous if it were momentum

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year could become unfinished due to divided votes when discussed. You have to take that into account. - Yes you're right. To argue is to plunge your hand into the deepest darkness. This can consume an enormous amount of time if it results in dragging in an 'unexpected darkness'. - Due to the rules of this special exam, there is no way to determine with certainty who voted for whom, no matter how much we discuss it. Even if you get everyone's word, it may not be 100% true. - Do you mean they will lie? - In some cases, yes. Because right now the class is not as unified as it should be. Speaking of which, Horikita is likely to have a number of people come to mind. - You mean the presence of Kushida-san and Kouenji-kun. - In the first case, she will lie without hesitation, and in the second, he may dare to vote for a different partner. That is all. - Hey, why are you telling me all this? It's still weird. Not that you've given me a warning like this before. Of course, Horikita could notice the change in me. - I judged that the current Horikita would be flexible enough to listen and understand what I am saying. - Is that a compliment? - I suppose. - Yes… I feel a little uneasy. In front of me, I heard Horikita's phone vibrate briefly. - Sorry. Give me a minute. After interrupting the conversation, Horikita took out her cell phone, looked at the screen and began to reply.

I was a bit worried, but decided to wait quietly while Horikita took about two minutes to structure a long message. Finally, he finished sending the message and put his phone in his pocket. - Anyway, I have conveyed my message. Good luck with tomorrow's special exam. With no intention of staying long, Horikita quickly left the room. -----4----It's just before six in the afternoon. Soon the sun will set and night will fall. Today was supposed to be a normal day, although there was an explanation of the exam. It seemed like a very hard day with a lot of information. It would be easier if we could get through at the end of the day, but that's not going to happen. This was because the hurriedly announced special exam would begin tomorrow. - Hello. I went back to my room and waited for Yousuke, who was the first to appear. - Enters. Thinking about it, this is probably the first time that I have invited Yousuke into my room like this. - Yoo-hoo. Not long after, Kei came to visit me in my room. - It's kind of refreshing and unusual to meet like this, isn't it? - I think you're right. I haven't told you both why I asked you to meet. Yousuke may have guessed, however.

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - I thought it would be better to prepare for the special exam tomorrow. - Prepare? Isn't it just a test where we must reach unanimity? " - It certainly doesn't seem like a very difficult exam just from the outline, does it? And the exams that have been taken so far have had much tougher rules. Yousuke, who showed a slight gesture of thinking, continued while explaining to Kei. - But I think this special exam will be as difficult as the previous ones. If you think about it like the rules do, just achieving unanimously would be a test that would earn you more class points. Unifying the will of one's own class is not that difficult. - That's what I think too. - I mean, it's not easy, which means there is a good chance that you will be presented with a challenge that will divide opinion. Yousuke is right. Each student in the class has a different way of thinking, but if it is for the good of the class, they are willing to be flexible up to a point and gather their votes. If we were freshmen, it might be a different story, but sophomores have already developed a strong bond as friends. Also, there is no penalty for not reaching unanimous agreement once, and there is a time that can be used for discussion. It's no wonder that such a well-covered exam seems so lazy as a blessing. - But on what kinds of issues is it difficult to reach unanimity? - I'm not sure I'm going to get it all, but there are. What kind of motion could upset our colleagues? It didn't seem like something Yousuke could think of immediately. I am going to talk about an obvious question. - From now until graduation, you will only be able to eat rice or bread. Choose an option.

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - What are those options? - Rice and bread sounds a bit laughable, but it is a difficult decision. - If I were you, I would definitely vote for bread. I couldn't live without bread until I graduated. - I'd probably go for rice… I only need bread once a week, more or less. - I am more than rice. And, well, even the three of us have our own opinions, right? It's not that easy when the whole class votes, is it? - I can not do it. Because it would be banned until graduation, right? I would continue to vote for my decision. Some students will resist like Kei, because if they are not willing to be carried away by the majority, the students will suffer later. - For a more realistic comparison, all future special exams will be based on academic ability or physical ability. Choose now. Hearing this, Yosuke and Kei looked at each other. - For an athletic student like Sudou, he would definitely choose physical ability, and for Keisei, who is not very good at sports, he would have to take the option of academic ability to a unanimous decision at all costs. Of course, Sudou, who is currently trying very hard in his studies, can break the ice, but it would be better for his own reputation to be evaluated for his physical ability, and if there is a student who cannot improve academically at all, he won't be able to commit himself like Sudou. - If the question is approved unanimously, it is enforceable, right? Does that mean we have to be prepared to lose 300 penalty class points if we decide not to? - I don't know ... Obviously tough decisions will be made, but losing 300 class points could mean giving up your ticket to class A. I think our first priority is to pass the exam. - I'm starting to think that this may be a difficult special test ... - Is that why you called us here?

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - Ah. The upcoming special exam requires a strong sense of unity among classmates. One or two unanimous disagreements are fine, but if it goes on for a long time, there are sure to be some disputes. When that happens, Yousuke and Kei, the two main figures in the class, will have to move and get the vote to go one way or the other. - That's true. But then, shouldn't Horikita-san be included in this discussion? Horikita-san is the class leader in this exam. Yousuke's point is natural. The best way to control the class is for Horikita to lead the two of them, not me. However, at this point, I cannot withdraw my support. - This time, I will support Horikita from the shadows. What we do here will be confidential. - Why? Well, as far as I'm concerned, I don't like to follow Horikita-san's orders. - Both Kei and Yousuke have the ability to read the environment better than most students. But I want both of them to have the ability to respond more flexibly than now. If we can get a feel for what Horikita is thinking and what she wants to do, then the class will be much stronger. - Why don't you do it, Kiyotaka? That would solve the problem. - You can't always count on me to move. We have to be prepared for the unexpected. - What is the unexpected? - It's ... well, it's not like I'm going to be expelled from school, but I suppose it could be a sudden illness. If you can't move to anticipate such a situation, you can't expect your class to leap forward. - Anyway, I get it. All we have to do is follow Horikita-san and make sure the special exam runs smoothly. - Then we will have some instructions and clues that only Kei and Yousuke will understand.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Since the interval allows free discussion and movement, there is no problem with the act of speaking itself. However, depending on the situation, it may be necessary to give instructions without knowing that you are trying to communicate. Even in situations where there will be no private conversations, it will be possible to exchange signals by coughing or tapping on the desk. After the two of them had memorized the multiple patterns, I looked at Yousuke. - One last tip for Yousuke. It is not necessary if the five motions are to be completed without problems, but if the special examination has not yet been completed with less than two hours left, we may have to resort to strong measures. I decided to tell Yousuke to make his preparations now so that he wouldn't get out of control at that time. -----5----It was after 10 p.m., and the hectic day before the special exam was coming to an end. I was in bed, looking at my phone, when I got a call. Although the phone number was not registered, the 11-digit number looked familiar. - Hello? - Sorry to bother you so late at night, but can I have a moment? - No problem. We have spoken for a long time, President Sakayanagi. Yes, the owner of this phone number is a person who serves on the board of directors of this school. - I know I've given you a lot of anxiety, but that's okay now. - Glad to hear that everything is fine. - It must have been hard for you too. But I am surprised that you managed to stay at this school without incident in the midst of such a hostile battle. - It just happened. If I was serious, I wouldn't be here now.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year I did not need to mention his name to know that it was Tsukishiro, who was standing in for President Sakayanagi. - When all was said and done, I also had some questions about your behavior ... But we are not going to talk about that today. I'm going to be following you very closely from now on, and thought I'd let you know as soon as possible. That said, President Sakayanagi continued to speak. - You have heard that government officials and their families have been invited to this unusual cultural festival, right? I couldn't stop it once work started on it. If you've tipped off those involved, it's no wonder it's difficult to retract. - There is nothing to excuse, President. I'm sure the students are looking forward to it. The content is a bit like a special exam, but it is within the range of what a student can do. That it ends up being just a cultural festival for me is another story. - It's actually something that hasn't been announced yet, but I'll tell you about it first. - What is it about? - Like the cultural festival, the October sports festival is held as a preliminary step. First of all, it was decided in a hurry to welcome some guests there. - Invited to the sports festival? That's something I never thought I'd hear. - If the origin is traced, the sports festival is something the parents of the pupils come to see. In that sense, the position of receiving guests is not unique. - I see.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year It is true that when we see it on television, we have images of families with cameras who come to prepare lunches at events such as sports festivals and athletics meetings. - I was concerned about the safety of suddenly letting guests loose at a festival because it's unheard of. I suppose it is a test, a preparation to receive a large number of guests in earnest. - The selection of the people is entirely up to the higher ups, and I cannot deny the possibility that your father may be involved. So in case you're in danger, I'd like to have a couple of vigilantes by your side. - I appreciate the concern, but I'm just one of the students at this school. I don't want that kind of special treatment. - So what are you going to do when you meet the people your 'father' will send? - I know this is a difficult question. Of course, there is no way we can get out of this using force. It would be easier for us if they pointed us out in a secluded spot, but if they introduce themselves as school officials with friends and acquaintances around and order me to follow them, there is no way to refuse. You're a phony and that guy too, right? I can't ask you that. - I think I have already realized that you are that kind of person. However, if you were expelled from this school in any way, I am sure I would regret it. I'm trying to avoid the regret of not doing what I could to prevent it. - Even if we were to follow President Sakayanagi's instructions, it would not be natural to have a supervisor around. - So I would like to ask you to be absent from the sports festival. - Absent me ...? That was not what he had in mind.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - Of course I understand that there are unavoidable absences in the exam that can only be taken at sports and cultural festivals and occasions of this type. - Yes. Although the class will be at a disadvantage, there is no mandatory action like expulsion, right? Taking care of yourself is your own responsibility, but there are still some unavoidable problems. If it were a smaller-scale special exam, they could take emergency measures like waiting until all students in each grade were present, but this was not possible for a sports festival that involves the entire school. - You will be on sick leave assuming you have had a medical checkup and you will be confined to your bedroom. Then I can place my trusted observers outside of your bedroom. If I were ordered to rest in the bedroom due to illness, my colleagues would agree that I had no other choice. Even if a guard person is wandering around the dormitory, the other students will only see him as one of the guards. - Certainly, that could help you escape from that man's clutches. - Of course, there is another risk. As you said, the guys in the classes you are enrolled in will be at a disadvantage because they will face other classes with a retired student. Even the fact that he said about taking sick leave shows President Sakayanagi's generous following. I also appreciate that you do not favor me on your own, but that you want me to do it with the least possible means. I appreciated the offer, but as soon as he told me, I assumed I would have to decline. But at the same time, a new thought occurred to me. - Could you give me some time to consider it?

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - Of course, I cannot force you to do anything, so I will leave the final decision in your hands. But... - I know, I know. I am seriously considering the option of accepting sick leave. - Yes. I will contact you at least a week before the festival. I also have to prepare. It would take at least that long to organize your people. After the call, I thought about the possibility of a sports festival without me. Of course, it is very possible that there will be withdrawals from other classes or grades on the day of the exam. In fact, it is not easy to have every student in school for every exam. - No, I think we should focus first on the special test before us. This special exam ... This exam may be the most painful special exam I've ever taken. All the tests I have taken so far have been ones that I can counter in any way. However, in this special exam, there is no "safe" strategy. We have to believe in our peers and work together as one class. The Sports Festival and Cultural Festival. There are new things to worry about that the year did not have, but it all starts with passing the special exam tomorrow. ----- 6 ----- Come in, Kushida-senpai. A few hours ago. After finishing school, Kushida visited Takuya Yagami's room in the freshman dorm. The afternoon sun was shining weakly through the closed curtains. Staring at the steam from the freshly brewed tea on the table, Kushida didn't reach out to take it. - There is no medicine or anything in it, right?

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - That doesn't matter to me, can we get on with this? Not trying to hide her frustration, Kushida pulled out her cell phone with a grim look on her face. - Please excuse me. So let me ask you without reservation. After pressing the play button, you can hear the voice of Professor Chabashira explaining the scheme of the special exam announced to the second year students, although she is only in the middle of the explanation. And after silently listening to everything that was said in the class, including the examples, Yagami handed the phone back to Kushida. - Kushida-senpai wants to crush Suzune Horikita Ayanokouji. Isn't that what you were saying?

and

Kiyotaka

Without needing to reply now, Kushida was silent. - My seniors had informed me beforehand, but it was still a very simple special exam. Of the multiple options, the vote is repeated and adjusted to be unanimous. There are five motions in total, and we have five hours to complete them. What did you think when you heard this? - Easy right? - If it is. It is considered too easy to be called a special exam. However, only the punishment for running out of time is severe. This must be because the school is making the assumption that it is clear. A consideration that will inevitably bring us closer to unanimity as time draws to a close. Whether it is an option that you like or not, we all want to avoid harsh penalties. Yagami reaches for the steaming tea in front of Kushida and she takes the cup. - Well, the thing is so. I am already in the middle of my second year. But even though I've been wanting to kick those two out, I haven't been able to have the perfect opportunity to do so until now. - As for me, you are partly to blame, but not at this point.

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year There's nothing to be gained by lashing out at Yagami here, Kushida thought as she held ground. - Have you told this to Horikita? - Yeah ... You know, her who's supposed to be the leader? About. Well, I'm sure he would have done it on his own without me telling him. - It is not good to leave things ambiguous. It is important to Kushidasenpai that Horikita-senpai is entrusted with that role after receiving a firm word from her. - And that? Do you think you can get Horikita expelled in the next special exam? When Kushida returned the question, Yagami laughed and took a sip from his cup. - That's how it is. I had to listen to the recording to make sure I didn't miss anything or misinterpret anything, but now it's clear. Upcoming special exam ... This is a good opportunity. - How can you know that? The only condition for expulsion is to let the accumulated penalty time in voting time. Do you think Horikita would make such a mistake? Not just Horikita. No one would make that kind of mistake. - Of course, it is unlikely that someone is stupid enough to be expelled for a penalty. But from what I've read, there are other ways to get kicked out. - Hey? - Expel Horikita-senpai, or Ayanokouji-senpai, depending on the situation. There may be a chance that we can crush whoever we want. At that point, you shouldn't hesitate to guide the conversation so that we can target both of you. Yagami mentioned the motion that was supposed to be given in this special exam, an example of what he was talking about. - Are you sure about that?

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - Of course, I don't think it's the same word for word. But I think there is a good chance that there will be options like the one I just mentioned. Yagami had not been informed by Tsukishiro about this special exam, but after listening to the teacher's explanation, he got an idea of the type of task that would be entrusted to him. - There is only one way for Kushida-senpai to handle a task like the one I just mentioned. He then explains how he can corner Horikita and Ayanokouji on the subject. - How about? Doesn't it make you look like you're about to get kicked out? Of course, you will have the whole class crying, but that's a small thing for you, right? - Do you think I can do that ...? - I think Kushida has the ability to do it, am I right? - You've been coming up with a lot of things. - I had to test my senpai when I met her to see if she was someone I could use. - What does that mean? - You do not remember? When did I tell you that? - At the time he was in a hurry. And that? - And that? Normally, you would have questions. You and I are complete strangers. And yet you were able to immediately match the conversation and improvise a way through the situation. So I knew I was capable enough. - But what if he had said, "Who are you?" He could have just ignored me. - I do not believe it. As long as we don't know where we met, maybe we were enrolled in the same high school. If that's the case, there is a possibility that I know your past. If I were to say, "I knew about that incident," it would be a disaster. To deny such a possibility, Kushida immediately went to talk to him.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - If they don't go to the same high school, they can go to an intensive school, for example. Or if it is discovered later that it is a young man who lives in the neighborhood, the risk that it is someone you know from the past is greatly reduced. We could laugh at it as a misunderstanding. The first priority was to find out if we were from the same high school, right? And if you bring up a topic related to the past, it will be easier to divert the conversation. After drinking a quarter of the tea, he put the mug down on the table. - Who the hell are you? How do you know about my past when we didn't even go to the same school? ... - I know you are suspicious, but consider me a guest in a unique position. However, yes. My purpose is to play with Ayanokouji-senpai. - what do you mean? Play with him? - Yeah, well, I don't think he knows me at all. Right now, my plan is to try things without Ayanokouji-senpai noticing. - What if I got mad when we first met, or didn't give the answer I should? Kushida was curious about what Yagami had said at the time. - I thought that would be interesting. I'm sure Ayanokouji-senpai noticed the discomfort and gave me a suspicious look. I probably could have greeted you earlier. - You mean you went to high school with Ayanokouji by chance? - Well, what do you think? It is a trivial matter for Kushida-senpai. Should we turn our attention to the special exam now? - I already know it. If I get the motion you're looking for ... I'll make the arrangements then. - I'll make the preparations. '... That's weak. - Weak? What do you mean weak? Yagami got up, walked over and grabbed Kushida by the shoulders, who reflexively tried to run away.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - Hey, what are you doing? She tried to escape from him, but Yagami's power, who seemed so thin, was much stronger than she imagined and she couldn't move. - Listen carefully. Kushida-senpai is in a more difficult situation than she thinks. In addition to Ayanokouji-senpai and Horikita-senpai around her, people who seem to be of concern, like me and Amasawa-san's existence, continue to threaten her safety and your daily life ... Isn't that so? - That ... Yes, but ... Kushida stares at Yagami, who stares into her eyes, unafraid. - Of course, it is not easy to kick your classmates out of this school. It takes a lot of effort to push them out of school and out of your life. If there was an opportunity to expel through a special exam like this, it would be an undeniable opportunity. - I already know it. But if you go too far, you will put me in danger. - So you have to be prepared for that. Expel them or be expelled. We are under intense pressure to fight one of the two. - Of course, it is Kushida-senpai who will make the decision. If I said something like, "If you don't want your past to be exposed, make sure to expel Horikita or Ayanokouji," that would be nothing more than blackmail that violates the exam rules. - That is what I call a threat ... - Sorry. It is not my intention to scare you. I just think it's true that Kushida-senpai isn't prepared enough. Eliminate them at any cost. If you don't, you won't be able to force them to drop out of school. Not for much longer. Taking his hands off her shoulders, Yagami returned to his position and sat down again. - Let me ask you again. Kushida-senpai you want to expel those two students. It is not like this?

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year When Yagami looked into her eyes again, Kushida lashed out with a mixture of strong anger and frustration. That is something that does not need to be confirmed. It's what Kushida has been wanting every day for the last year and a half. - Yes. I want to expel Horikita and Ayanokouji. I'm definitely going to get them expelled ...! - I can feel it. I can finally confirm that Kushida-senpai's resolve is genuine. Kushida made up her mind. To prevent the wound from spreading further, she must expel Horikita and Ayanokouji as soon as possible, and she must also expel Yagami who in front of her is talking about what she wants.

I reach out quickly and silently, and without thinking, I abruptly press the button to stop the alarm. Due to excess momentum, he fell off the mini table and finally. Ring ~! He's been hit by me many times, so he's not a fragile partner to break from a hit at this level. -

It's already six o'clock ...

In the end, I only slept about two hours and welcomed the morning. I took off my pajamas, which I had no idea how I had changed, and walked with heavy steps to the sink in my underwear. In passing, I picked up the alarm clock and discovered that the cover that had been taped had come off and a pile had fallen to the floor. - I think I've been too rough with him. I'll be more careful tomorrow, so forgive me. So, I stood in front of the mirror. - I look terrible ... It's not very nice, but I can't show my face in front of the students in my current state. The dark circles were even more noticeable today, as he had slept especially lightly for the past few days. After washing my face carefully, I disposed of my cosmetics, which I normally did not use to collect. I cannot let my students know that I am in such a bad or even unstable state. When I picked up the bottle of lotion, my eyes suddenly met my reflection in the mirror.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - You look horrible. I touch my cheek somehow. The elasticity and tactile sensation that flows from my fingertips is incomparable to what I felt when I was a student. - You are getting old. It's only a little over 10 years, but it's still 10 years. It was an inevitable reminder that a long time had passed. - Is it a trivial matter? ... It doesn't matter. It wasn't until now that I understood the flow of time. I resumed my stopped movements, opened the lid and began to apply makeup in silence. One day will come. This was something that I understood from the moment I decided to become a teacher. I should have known, but I wasn't really ready. - Take it easy. This is not my fight. The situation is different from then. I bet the current class would get through it without a hitch. Yes, they should. There is no point in getting nervous. I felt my heart beat faster and tried to convince myself that this was another easy task. That superficial idea did not work and my heart began to beat faster and faster. At this rate, I won't be able to last until the end of the special exam. I can't imagine what the future holds for me. - Ready ... I rested both palms on the mirror and looked at my reflection, muttering to myself. -----1----A teacher's morning is surprisingly busy. In this school, we live in a residence, which means that we are close to our place of work, or to the school, but we have a lot of work to do. Prepare the class, check if there are any calls, and sometimes check the quality of the pool water.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year However, the start time of the working day is the same as the start of classes, so it is practically like overtime of service. After the individual preparations in the morning, we had a meeting with the teachers for the assembly. Especially on days when special exams are held, the rush doubles or triples. Mistakes are absolutely unacceptable to the school because they affect the lives of the students, or part of it. - The most important thing for teachers to consider during this special exam is how to intervene in the classroom. Please avoid any situation in which you unintentionally help a student in your class in order to protect them. Gathering the teachers from the four classes, Professor Ikari, who was auditing this special exam, warned us with a stern look. - I was wondering if I could speak to you for a moment. - What is it, Professor Hoshinomiya? - I think the last time this exam was taken ... 11 years ago ... there was a policy of shuffling to ensure that the teacher in charge of his own class didn't help, right? So why is it that this has not happened this time? However, for the sake of fairness, I think they should change them. Regarding the issuance of a warning, the intention of the school to end the intervention of the classroom teacher that can be perceived. But surely it would be more reliable to leave another class teacher "in charge" in the different classes. Not many teachers would go to the trouble of risking their work to help out a rival class. - Isn't it because they think we'll be fair? Professor Sakagami, who was listening to the conversation, calmly analyzes it. - Is this so?

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - I can't tell you why, except that it is the school's decision. - It doesn't depend on us, right? There is nothing that we as teachers can do to determine all the special exams. The decision was made by President Sakayanagi and those who are involved in the operation and management of this school. All we have to do is follow the rules and stick with them. But it didn't seem to make sense, and Chie didn't even try to hide her frustration. Professor Ikari, who couldn't bear to see this, opened his mouth in a low voice. - This is just my own guess, but this special exam might bring out the inner workings of the minds of students trying to hide. It is a mass of information. I think they thought that by leaking it to the teachers in the other classes, it would affect the next special exam in turn. - That just means they don't believe in us as teachers. - It can not be helped. This special exam, three of the class teachers seem to have experienced the same thing in the past ... Isn't it related to the fact that they took over each class in last year's voting? - That's what I was thinking. Chie seemed convinced, as if she had known all along. - Hoshinomiya-sensei ... May I continue? - Yes Yes. I am convinced, so please proceed. He was clearly in a bad mood, but Professor Ikari resumed his explanation as if he had given up. - If the supervisor deems it appropriate, a warning will be issued. If it repeats, there will be a pay cut. And while it is none of your business, remember that if you are found to have been maliciously intervening, and intentionally inducing students to make decisions that they should not have made, you may be demoted in the worst case scenario.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year The special examination unanimously consists of choosing. It is natural for the nature of the special exam to be questioned if the teacher addresses a particular option. Of course, the teachers in the other classes have no such intentions, and neither do I. As always, he does not get too emotionally involved with the students and just does things in a solemn way. Even if it is this special exam full of bitter memories, it is still the same. - That will be all. Please take care of today's special exam. After that, I tried to do my best to get through the morning classes as usual. No, I was the only one who thought it was business as usual, when in fact it probably wasn't. I had no sense of time, and before I knew it, it was lunchtime. On the desk in the staff room, there is a half-eaten meal. When I shoved the food down my throat, the chopsticks stopped moving at all. Not wanting to be seen like this, I bagged the rest of the lunch and put it away. And then the bell for the afternoon class came, announcing its beginning. When I came out of the staff room, looking at the floor, the sound of footsteps coming from behind me caught my eye. - It's finally happening, Sae-chan. - Chie ...? - You've been like this since this morning, but last night you couldn't sleep because you were thinking about the special exam? I tuned in to the obvious and cheap provocation. No, it would be more accurate to say that he could not answer. - My current class has nothing to do with me. Whether students pass it easily or not does not matter to me. - Hmm? You don't seem to be affected by it.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year -----2----September, 17th. After the lunch break. Less than three weeks after the summer break, the next special exam arrived. When I returned to the classroom about five minutes before the test started, there was already a teacher waiting in the classroom. I was a bit surprised to find that I had been ordered not to sit in my seat, but in a designated seat for the duration of the exam. Interestingly, they sat me in the back of the class, near the window, where I had sat in my freshman year. The rest of the students are randomly assigned to seats, regardless of their location last year or this year. It seems that I happened to get a similar seat. If you have a lot of time, you can take a look at the best way to use your time. Satou sat right next to me, and Onizuka sat across from me. The students began to arrive one after another. The test we will do is the "unanimous special test." It is a simple one, nothing more and nothing less, in which you have to choose between five motions given by the school and repeat them until unanimity is achieved. There aren't many things worth mentioning about this special exam, but there aren't many ways to prepare for it either. I promised to take the vote so as not to reach an expected unanimity, since communication is not possible during the first vote, regardless of the nature of the issue. I will remember the voting time limit. We decide in advance who to follow in the event of a dispute over which option to choose if votes are scattered. That's all any class can do. Therefore, it can be said that there is almost no heavy atmosphere in the class. The fact that this exam is easily achievable for all participants, in short "just choose an option and press the vote button", is another reason why it has been taken so lightly. Of course, it is a special exam, so there is some tension ...

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year The tablets had a thin plastic strip firmly attached to avoid prying eyes. Even if you peeked out from the seat next to you, you wouldn't be able to catch a glimpse of the screen. Since you cannot stand while voting, it is impossible to narrow down where others are voting by sight. Even if by some means or accident you are able to see the results of the vote of a third party, that you can express it in words and that they believe you is another story. First of all, it is impossible to make a fuss about who has voted for which, since snooping is prohibited. We have to face this special test head-on. The tablet on my desk seemed to be off, and I wasn't even allowed to turn it on without permission. - Hey Hey hey. If we can finish it in an hour or two, we go to the Keyaki Mall. - Yes, I would love to, but I was thinking of studying in the dorms. So can we go in the afternoon? Ike and Shinohara, who have become a close couple, argue about what they will do after class. A special exam that can be easily completed ... I'm not sure. However, it is questionable how many students currently do not understand that it can become a difficult task depending on the conditions. The point is that the vote is anonymous. It is impossible to know who has voted for each option during the test and forever. 'Completely anonymous'. It is about knowing what impact this factor will have on this particular test. Anyway, the deadline for the special exam was five hours, from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., a very long time. If you think simply, you can dedicate an hour per question.

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year It wouldn't be surprising if the special exam took an hour or two to complete, as Ike said. And if you beat it within the time limit, you will easily get 50 class points. On the other hand, if you fail to complete the test in five hours, we will lose 300 class points, so getting all five questions unanimous is an absolute must. Considering the content of the test, the small reward and the heavy penalty were understandable. I sat in my place, in the corner of the classroom, where half the students were sitting. On one side of the podium, Professor Chabashira, the facilitator of this special exam, and the teacher, in charge of the supervision, stand at the back of the classroom. - As I told you beforehand, I will collect all the communication equipment. The amount of materials that can be inserted is limited, and the tablet is monitored from the front and back to avoid prying eyes. They are being more thorough than necessary. That's how hard they are trying to prevent people from knowing who voted for which. It may sound harsh, but it's the right thing to do. In order to reflect the genuine feelings of the students in the multiple elections, anonymity must be 100%. If there is an opening that can be snooped, the likelihood of succumbing to peer pressure increases. You would choose "A", although you really wanted to choose "B", but since everyone else chooses "A", you are left with option "A". That is what you want to avoid. The school emphasizes the importance of the "individual will of the student", which is the meaning of this special exam. However, this is not good for the students, because we want everyone to be unanimous, whether from peer pressure or not. Regardless, there is no room for injustice at all. No matter what the motion is, it must be unanimous. - Come on, Airi. You decided to say it, right?

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Hmm? I turned my gaze from outside the window towards the classroom and saw Airi being pushed back by Haruka. - Oh hey, Kiyotaka ...! I ... I was wondering if I could have some time after school. Nodding her head, Haruka asked with her eyes if she knew how to answer. - I was wondering if I could talk to you about the culture festival. - So that's what it was all about. I think we should also speak in person. - Oh, it's fine! See you later. Airi walked away and turned her back to me, taking a seat in the last row. - It has calmed down somehow. He hasn't gotten over it, but he's trying to move on. He didn't even want to mention it in front of me, but he made an effort to maintain eye contact with me. - But it remains to be seen if this girl will really take it in or not. It depends on how hard you work. - I will try to help as much as I can. - Yes. I'll see you after school. Not that they take care of each other much, but those two have been together a lot lately. Two minutes before the start of class, the classroom teacher, Chabashira, began to explain. - Well ... it's about time. We're going to the special test, and since it's going to be a long day, we're going to have up to four bathroom breaks. Basically, we can only take a break before starting the next motion with unanimous consent. This means that we cannot take a break in the middle of the day when we have not reached unanimous agreement. In addition, each break has a maximum of 10 minutes, but the exam time is still counted. It would be important to skip breaks if they are deemed unnecessary.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Everyone had already used the bathroom as advertised, so there would be no problems for a while. There appeared to be no students in the class who had stomachaches or other health problems. Now is the time for the special exam. That's what I thought, but Professor Chabashira kept looking at the students and refused to start the procedure. She seemed to be clueless, and stunned. When the students, who were initially carefree, began to look at each other little by little, the teacher standing at the back of the classroom also seemed to notice something strange. - Miss Chabashira. Is the time. - Ah ah Sorry. Then, we will start the special test unanimously. From here, we will proceed according to the rules, so you will not be allowed to get up out of the interval or chat at prohibited times. Be careful. Take it into account. The monitor changes and the countdown begins at 26 seconds. This is probably due to a slight delay in the start signal, but it does not affect the students. Finally, when the count reached zero, the text changed to show the first motion. Motion 1: Choose which class you want to face in the final exam for the third semester. (This choice will take precedence, even if there is a change in class rank.) The numbers in parentheses indicate the additional class points that are earned by winning the showdown. Class A (100) Class B (50) Class D (0)

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - This will be the last semester of your sophomore year, and it is your choice to determine your opponent for the special exam at the end of that year. As mentioned, if you unanimously choose Class A at this time, even if your current Class A drops to Class B at the end of the school year, and the additional points of the class from this election. Also, if the desired combination of choices is not unanimous, the school will decide at random. In short, we have the option to fight the class of Sakayanagi, Ichinose, or Ryuuen, and the opponent we choose will not be changed. It is important to find out which class we can win against. Of course, we will not always be able to fight the class we want. But...? If Horikita and our classmates nominate Sakayanagi's class A, and Ichinose also nominates Sakayanagi's class at the same time, does that mean that Sakayanagi's class is left to choose between Horikita's class or Ichinose's class? And if the Sakayanagi class does not nominate any of them, but the Ryuuen class class, then the choice of the Ryuuen class must be confirmed. Again, if the Ryuuen class avoids the Sakayanagi class, then the result would be a random combination where everything fits. Normally, you would want to choose a lower class. However, as you can see from the options, the treatment of the upper classes seems to be a bit different. If you are able to defeat a higher class, you will be rewarded with higher additional class points for doing so. If you fight a lower class, you will not get any additional rewards. Normally, we would want to avoid battles with the A-class, but if these advantages exist, there will be enough room to consider them. - Now we will move on to the first round of voting. They have 60 seconds to cast their vote. If these 60 seconds are exceeded, a penalty time will be incurred. Of course, since Horikita had decided and notified in advance to avoid that problem from

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year the first time, the companions voted for their favorite option according to their criteria. Horikita and I agreed that I would always choose the first option on the first ballot, so I did not hesitate to choose the first option - class A. Horikita will choose class B, the second option. At this point, it will never be unanimous, but the other 37 votes will really tell us which class they want to face. - As all the votes have been cast, we will now announce the results of the vote. Results of the first round of voting: Class A: 5 votes Class B: 21 votes Class D: 13 votes - The votes were concentrated in class B, to which Ichinose belongs, instead of class D, the lowest class. - Since the vote was not unanimous, there will now be an interval. From this moment on, we are allowed to leave our seat freely for ten minutes to come into contact with the students or have a conversation with them. It doesn't matter if you raise your voice a little or if it's only heard by some students. - Let me make a suggestion first so as not to waste time on the first motion. Raising her hand, Horikita, who was sitting in front of Professor Chabashira, got up and then turned around. Since she has been assigned to be the leader of this special exam as well, she will take the initiative to show her actions. - No matter how scattered the vows are, each of us must have our own thoughts. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, and feel free to express your views to the whole class.

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year After saying this, Horikita took a deep breath and began to describe her preferred option. - The ideal opponent for me at the end of the school year would be class B. There are three reasons why I thought Ichinose's class was the ideal opponent. First of all, unlike Sakayanagi-san and Ryuuen-kun, Ichinose is likely to be a fair match, a clash of sheer potential. Even if it is an irregular special exam, there is little concern about being passed. Second, they are in class B right now. They will earn class points in addition to their rewards, giving them an advantage to lead the other classes. The third and last point is that the title of class B is just a facade. We are already next to his class and Ryuuen's D-class. At one point, we were way behind in class points, but your class is now on a downward slope. I think that makes her an ideal opponent to compete in. He spoke rather quickly, perhaps because he was worried about time, but his clear reasoning gave the impression that he had touched the hearts of many students. - If any student has an objection, please express it here and now. On the other hand, if you think class B is okay, then vote for class B as soon as possible. We would like to have a unanimous vote on this issue in the second round of voting.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year I can feel Horikita's determination. In response, Yousuke stands up. - I agree with what you said, Horikita-san. The additional rewards for defeating Sakayanagi and the others of Class A are great, but there is no question that they are the strongest enemies of any other class. Of course, the strong ties and solid fighting style of Ichinose-san and his class cannot be ignored, but I think they are the best opponents. With the two urging her to choose class B, the classmates begin to decide their decision. Then, as if to join the flow, one more person stood up, to give an opinion. - I also believe that it is correct. I don't think it is beneficial to fight Ryuuen-kun's class because there is no additional reward for fighting, and Sakayanagi-san's class is not an easy opponent to fight. Before any opposition could be raised, Yousuke and Kei quickly solidified their views by stating their intention to vote for Class B. It could be said that they went ahead as planned, but it's safe to assume that they probably wanted to fight Class B as well. easy to see from the fact that class B was the most voted in the first round of voting. The interval, which lasted almost six more minutes, ended up passing without any opposition. While checking the time, we resumed progress. - We will then move on to the second round of voting, as the time has expired. As soon as the tablet screen changes, you have 60 seconds to cast your vote. As explained beforehand, if you go over 60 seconds, the penalty time will accumulate. Be careful. This precaution was unnecessary, and in less than ten seconds, everyone had voted in the second round. And the results were immediately reflected and displayed on the monitor. Results of the second round of voting: Class A: 0 votes Class B: 39 votes

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Class D: 0 votes There was no way Kouenji would joke and get us into another class vote, so we got off to a good start and got a unanimous agreement for the first time. - The first assignment is unanimously confirmed as class B choice. I will inform you of the class you will face in the final exam as soon as it is officially decided, but that will be after tomorrow. In just ten minutes or so, we had completed one of the five motions and Horikita and the others also chose to vote for the class B they wanted. As for me personally, if I had to choose a class to fight against, I would definitely have chosen the Ichinose class. The reason for this is… Well, Horikita has said it all and there is nothing to add. Now we just have to wait for Sakayanagi and Ryuuen's classes to match, but since Ichinose's class is sometimes an easy target, we could have three classes competing if we're not careful. Hopefully Ichinose's class will apply for Horikita's class without any problem. - I don't think we need to take a break, but I'll check it out just in case. They don't care if we move on to the next motion, do they? Of course, no one from the student body objected, so the second task began immediately. - Now let's move on to the second motion. Motion 2: Choose a destination for the school trip planned for the end of November. - Hokkaido -

Kyoto Okinawa

- What the hell is this? I listened among the voices of my companions. Due to the situation of not speaking, his voice was immediately drowned out by Professor Chabashira's gaze. But it is undeniable that many students thought, "What the hell is this?"

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Still, we can't talk about it without voting first. The only way to vote is to really think for yourself which option to choose, and then vote. - This vote is similar to the previous one, and this one is not final. The result may change depending on the status of the remaining three classes, so keep that in mind. Results of the first round of voting: -

Hokkaido 17 votes

-

Kyoto 3 votes

- Okinawa 19 votes With the exception of Kyoto, the voting results were much tighter than before. - Since the vote was not unanimous, we will now move to an interval. - Hey hey, can we call this a special test? It's like it's a piece of cake ... When the interval came, Hondou blurted it out with a laugh. It is true that the first and second motions do not need to be asked so ostentatiously. They can be summarized in the course of the class. Only two motions for now. When this is over, they will have passed two fifths of the special exam. Too easy content. Many of the students may have begun to relax more than they were nervous. However, it is interesting to note that some students become more anxious the more they are in situations of this type. Typical of these students are Horikita and Yousuke, who are careful and thoughtful. As everyone laughs and discusses which way to go, they look at the motion seriously. I guess it's true. It is hard to believe that such a motion, that it could be made either way, and continued to the end. In fact, the easier the first part is, the more pressure there will be in the second part. With this premonition in mind, I silently watched the flow of the interval.

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - I'm sure we all have our own thoughts. But let's focus on this motion first. With a plea not to be distracted, Yousuke brought the entire class back together. The first time, I voted for option 1, Hokkaido, as promised, but now what to do? The content of the task is the same. This means that there will always be decisions from other classes to choose the final result. It is definitely an important vote in deciding where to take the field trip. - Horikita-san, it seems that we disagree, do you have any advice? Kushida was worried about Horikita who unlike before, didn't speak right away, so Kushida called her. But Horikita did not speak immediately, and for a moment there was silence. - Horikita-san? Horikita was quick to reply when Kushida called back to her with some concern. - Sorry. I've been thinking about this a bit. Hm ... It's not a difficult choice, but I thought it might be difficult to make it unanimously. The school trip is an important event for us students, and of course I cannot summarize the destination in a few words. We promised to follow the leader if things went wrong, but that didn't mean that Horikita could decide for herself where to go on the school trip. It is a difficult choice, considering that it is a matter of preference, not of merit or demerit. - Anyway, we will have to start by knowing your opinion about where you would like to travel. As if waiting for him, Sudou raised his hand. - I'll go first. It would erect Okinawa. Okinawa on a school trip is the most popular because of the ocean, right? So why don't we go with him? - Wait a minute. Okinawa is one of the most popular, I admit, but so is Hokkaido. The number of votes is even close. Don't you want to go skiing or something?

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Maezono, who seemed in favor of choosing Hokkaido, and disagreed with Sudou. - I want to go to Okinawa. I want to snorkel. (NT: Snorkeling is an underwater activity that involves a breathing tube.) - I've been to Okinawa a couple of times, so Hokkaido ... Two destinations with a close vote count begin to disagree head-on. Given that they both chose the fate they believed best for themselves, it was understandable that they criticized their options. - For starters, Hokkaido only has snow, right? It is definitely boring. - Well, if that's the case, is there nothing but ocean in Okinawa? They argued for several minutes without seeming to come to an end, until Yousuke, who couldn't bear to watch, intervened. - Hokkaido and Okinawa are equally popular destinations for school trips, so I guess it's not unreasonable to get in trouble, but ... maybe you want to be a little more considerate of each other. Yousuke asked them to stop talking out of place. At first, they talked about how wonderful their choice of destiny was, but then they began to speak ill of the other person's choice. - Hirata-kun chose Hokkaido, right? - Hey Hirata, you chose Okinawa, right? - That? Ummm ... Sandwiched between the two groups, Yousuke looked worried. - That's an ... anonymous, right? In this situation, it is difficult to answer which one you chose. In a way, this is the moment when anonymity comes to life. - Okinawa is the only place where you can swim in November. Don't you want to go to the beach?

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - I've had enough of the ocean. We already enjoyed it with the uninhabited island test. Hokkaido for sure. The discussion, once interrupted, soon heated up again. The exchange between Sudou and Maezono can probably be seen as a smallscale version of the opinions of the whole class. - What should we do, Horikita-san? With a worried look, Kushida asks Horikita for help. - Yes, this is a complicated subject. The difficulty of unanimity. There was no easy way to end the conversation, and the ten-minute interval was coming to an end. By the way, I plan to vote for Kyoto this second time. Kyoto has a deep history. I really wanted to see that scene. - Now that the second round of voting is complete, we will display the results. Results of the second round of voting: - Hokkaido 18 votes - Kyoto 4 votes - Okinawa 17 votes

- Oh, Hokkaido has more votes! We did it! - Who the hell has changed Okinawa for Hokkaido? Hokkaido got slightly more votes than the other two, but it was almost a 50% split. However, both the Hokkaido and Okinawan groups began to argue over votes. If we try to solve this problem at this rate, no matter how many times we vote, we will never succeed.

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year The only sad thing is that Kyoto is not talked about at all. He only got one vote than last time ... So Horikita's vote for Kyoto, the first choice, might not have moved. Of course, Horikita may have voted for Hokkaido or Okinawa and someone else voted for Kyoto, so we can't be sure. There is a way to force the vote to go to the side with the most votes, but it is likely to leave a grudge. Hokkaido won the second round, while Okinawa won the first. - It's useless. I guess we'll have to settle for a winner. We need three people who prefer Hokkaido and three who prefer Okinawa. We will elect a representative and have them play rock-paper-scissors. We will choose three people and we will play that the winning team takes it all. However, in Kyoto, where the number of votes is low, we will only have one representative. It is a tough battle, but I try to make it as fair as possible. If Kyoto, which is a minority, and can fight on an equal footing with the other two, the sense of injustice will surely increase. If we want to put it together without coercion and without time, should we do it like this? You can't avoid frustration to some degree, but if you set the rules up front, you have to follow them. Although there were some discussions about who would be the representative of rock-paper-scissors, soon the contestants began to be chosen. •

- Also, whoever voted for Kyoto, can they participate in rock-paperscissors? Horikita wishes to have a representative. Then a man raises his hand with all the energy. - If no one else does, I'll go. I'll make sure to get everyone to Kyoto. It was Keisei who expressed her strong will and launched into the tough battle. The first student to vote for Kyoto has spoken. Kyoto is also my favorite school trip destination. I leave you in charge, Keisei. It's going to be a tough fight, but you'll have to get ahead ... In order to reach the third round of voting, the rock-paper-scissors game quickly began. In the end, the Okinawan team won easily. The Kyoto team's dream was shattered in an instant, and they had to leave the battlefield with a broken heart. It was a fleeting moment, less than ten seconds after Keisei was announced. I witnessed the moment when Horikita put her hand on her forehead and sighed, and I was convinced that she was one of those who wanted to go to Kyoto. The game continued as if the Kyoto wannabes had never existed in the first place. Onodera, who had defeated both in the first game, won two games in a row, defeating Ishikura to take the lead. However, Shinohara, who appeared, defeated Onodera and then Hondou successively in an unexpected turn of events. The two sides met in a one-on-one battle. - It's definitely Okinawa! Soki soba! Shisa! Kaijin! (NT: Soki soba: it is a specialty of Okinawan prefectural cuisine, Shisa is a traditional Okinawan cultural talisman, Kaijin which literally means "man of the sea" is a supposed sea monster from Japan, mentioned in the Edo period) . - Hokkaido for sure! Crabs! Thermal waters! Ski!

We are deciding where to go on a school trip, but it is an unusually tense situation. - Come on first! Rock Paper and scissors! They clashed for the second time. Sudou released a powerful "let's go". Shinohara, meanwhile, threw a brilliant for the second time in a row. - Yes! Let's go to Hokkaido! All at once, the Hokkaido faction raised their voices in victory. - What are you doing, Sudou? - This is bad...! I don't want to be pessimistic, but the vote in this class will be for Hokkaido. If two other votes from other classes came together for Okinawa or Kyoto, then that would be it. Horikita felt a bit puzzled, as if she understood that this was not the kind of environment in which she could say that. The third vote was taken, and everyone activated their tablets at the same time. Results of the third round of voting: - Hokkaido 39 votes - Kyoto 0 votes - Okinawa 0 votes

- The third vote was unanimous, so the second motion is clear. Although about half of them remain dissatisfied, they manage to reach unanimity in the third round of voting through a fair fight according to the established rules.

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Although I couldn't go to Kyoto, which was what I really expected, I really want to go to Hokkaido, and depending on what happens in the other classes, Kyoto and Okinawa are still possible. Anyway, it was a motion that made me look forward to the school trip, wherever it may be. - Now let's move on to the third motion. Although Professor Chabashira's appearance hadn't changed from the beginning, there was a slight change in the tone of her voice. Something could turn the tide, I guess the easy part is over just now. Motion 3: Instead of the private points awarded by the class each month being reduced to zero, three random students in the class will receive protection points. Or, you can choose to have your private points cut in half and give a chosen student a protection point. If neither of these options is desired, the last five students in the next written exam will receive zero private points. (Regardless of the option chosen, the period of loss of private points will last six months). Unlike the previous two tasks, this one encompassed great advantages and disadvantages within the class. In option 1, the profitability is higher as there are many private points to lose, but the fact that they are given to random students cannot be overlooked. Protection points are a very powerful system, but depending on your point of view, there are some students who will end up being unnecessary for three years. If these students are given these points, they run the risk that they will end up being a waste of this treasure. Option 2 is not cheap either, as the number of private points to be transferred will be cut in half. Also, it will only be awarded to one student. However, being able to choose any student is an important factor.

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Option 3 is the one that minimizes the loss of private points. This will be the choice you will make if you decide that your protection points are too high, or if we don't need them in the first place. However, remember that even if it is five, we still have to bear the disadvantage. It would be necessary to take into account the situation of the class, as well as the calculation of losses and gains. Some students may have a lot to say, but there is no other way than to vote first. - Before voting, let's talk about the case where the vote is unanimous on option 2, the option to give a particular student the point of protection. If the vote is unanimous on option 2, then proposal 3 is completed and we move on to the next option, which is to choose a student. You remember the example, right? A student is chosen in the interval and a vote is taken for or against granting him the protection point. If the vote is unanimous in favor, the student will receive a protection point, if it is unanimous against, the student will no longer have any chance in that motion. Then the rest of the group members will discuss the question and choose a winner. If the vote is unanimous, the student receives a protection point. - With this in mind, we will announce the results of the first round of voting. Results of the first round of voting: - 1 vote to award 3 names at random. - 5 votes to select 1 name. - 22 votes not to grant. The results of the first round of voting seem to indicate that the majority of the students were willing to give up the protection points in exchange for some inconvenience. This may be so, as the five people who will lose their private points have been determined to be the bottom five on the next written exam. For students who do not fall into that category, it is a risk-free part of the process.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year On the other hand, some may think that it is better to get protection points if they know that they will not get private points for another six months. - Hey, wait! I do not understand something... - Me too, me too! If we do not get protection points, only 5 people will lose their private points. Ike and Satou were the first to speak, as they were the students who seemed to have the lowest grades. - Well, I guess we don't have a choice. It is a bit sad that they will not transfer their private points to them for half a year ... And since the chances of chance are low, and it is unlikely that they will get any in particular of those there are, so they will have to sacrifice ... Sudou speaks as if to say that he is already out of the five lowest-ranking students in the class. - That is not fair! I also need some private points right now! - You're not going to tell me what you need to pay for your dates with Shinohara, are you? - Hey? That? Seriously, how do you think? Oh my God... He doesn't appear to be overwhelmed by the revelation of his use of money, but for him it is a matter of life and death. - Those are the rules, you won't get points. - I can't accept that! - Then go study. That will help, right? - The only thing I can't agree with is what Ken said. Of course it is important to study and get out of the lower ranks, but no matter how many points you get, you cannot change the fact that five people will be sacrificed. - I know what you mean, but it's too early to be pessimistic. The only thing you can do is minimize the amount of private points you lose and make it up to everyone else. The private points of the 5 that will be lost

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year each month will be compensated with the points of the remaining 34 students. This way, all the students will be satisfied, right? To simplify, let's say a student gets 50,000 points per month, and if five students lose their points that would be 250,000 points. The remaining 34 students will deliver 1.7 million points, and if you divide this by 39 and round it to the nearest whole number, so they will get 43,589 points each. It is inevitable that we will lose some money, but we will only lose about 6,500 points per student. Even if it lasted six months, each student's stress would be minimized. - Well, okay then ... - I don't want to share, but I guess I can. He seemed dissatisfied, but was willing to help Ike in whatever way he could. Since many of the students wanted to choose the option without the grant, they naturally began to agree to stay with option 3. But then Yousuke spoke up. - Horikita-san, do you think it is better to choose without the grant? - It is a difficult decision. To be honest, it is quite a difficult choice. Protection points can be a very powerful tool to prevent ejection. But the same can be said for private points. Do you think different, Hirata-kun? - It's just an opinion, but I think we should get some protection points. For three, of course. - If we don't get private points for six months, it will be very painful. Not only would it put a lot of stress on our daily lives, but it could also affect our special exams if the situation warrants. There is no denying that private points can make the difference between victory and defeat. - If an unforeseen event occurs, we could protect three people. There are only a very limited number of times protection points can be earned, and this is something valuable that cannot simply be priced.

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year I can't help but understand Yousuke's somewhat heated appeal. The value of protection points that can prevent expulsion is actually up to 20 million private points. It is not often that you get a chance to get three of them. Especially for Yousuke, who cares about his friends, it is a value that cannot be replaced by money. One thing was the destination of the study tour, which was not easily achieved unanimity. It is difficult to predict the course of the class at any destination, but this point of protection is also important for the entire class. If we succeed, we can save someone else from deportation. - Sorry, but I need to comment on this. At this point, Keisei got up and voiced her opinion. - Over the next six months, we are going to increase our class points, right? - Of course. There is no time to stagnate when it comes to reaching a higher class. - In addition, for this special exam you will receive 50 class points, 100 points if you finish at the top in the cultural festival. And if we get the same points at the sports festival ... at the end of the second semester, we could get more than 200 points, or even 300 points depending on the situation. Can you think like this? - That's how it is. If we increase the number of class points by 300 by the end of the year, the class points will recover to the point that we will be able to see around 1,000 class points. If this is the case, the total amount of private points paid in six months will increase by 50% from the current level to about 20 million points. If we think about it, the maximum value of a single point of protection is equivalent to six months of class income. It is a panorama that seems

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year calculated. However, if we choose three protection points here, we get it at about 7 million private points per protection point. It's a fine line, isn't it? And the least likely, that a person will be given half of their points, seems like a good combination of advantages and disadvantages, but it is actually the least profitable and difficult to choose. However, it has the advantage of being the only one that can be given to a specific student, that would be an important factor. However, if we decide to give it to just one, what awaits us is, of course, a unanimous vote. If we skip this option and let it pass, there would be the possibility of a dispute over who to grant it to. - The idea of prioritizing private points is an offensive strategy, while the idea of prioritizing protection points is a defensive strategy, right? When Kushida asks for the situation to be resolved, the three people who are now standing nod almost simultaneously. - But if you don't use your protection points, you run the risk of being an expensive purchase, right? Of course that's fine with me ... To make this fact known, it would be inevitable to talk about it. - Yes. After all, if you never use it, it is worthless. Of course, there is a sense of security and relief that comes with having points of protection ... - It may not have any value. Even if it ends up being unnecessary in its original use, it can be used as a surprise attack or self-destruction by using a strategy that intentionally consumes protection points. It could be used not only for protection, but also for offensive purposes. I can understand why Keisei tells us that protection points can be used in many ways. It is also a great advantage to be able to defend yourself to avoid expulsion.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year But we won't know what the special test will be until later, unless we have the big picture. There is no guarantee that we will have the opportunity to implement it in the future. But this motion, or rather the special review, is deeper than I thought. Although the content of the motion is the same for all classes, the status of the motion changes according to the rank and status of the class. If the class points are equal to zero, we unanimously agree on the option of obtaining three protection points without any dispute. It will be a good opportunity for the other classes to follow suit. On the other hand, for Class A, which ranks first alone, it would have been a more expensive purchase than the other classes. Each task may seem less significant than the next, but the difference can certainly be reduced. On the other hand, the first and third options can be considered as somewhat inconvenient options for the A-Class. - Then Yukimura-kun. So you're saying that we should award protection points to three people? Horikita tries to take the floor to make a final confirmation and narrow down the options. - No ... The second option is the one I would suggest. The one that grants a point of protection to any student. Horikita was surprised to see that she wanted option 2, which was thought to be the most unlikely. - Does that mean, for lack of a better word, that I should grant it to you? - I would be sincerely flattered if you did. But that is not realistic. I would like them to grant it to me, because that's basically what we all want. If I were to ask you to raise your hand if so, it wouldn't be surprising if the whole class did.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - It is difficult to choose a specific person. But as much a bargain, we don't know how well giving protection points to three random people will work. - You seem to have a clear idea of who you want to give it to. Who are you thinking? - If we're going to make a strategic decision ... Horikita, I don't think there's anyone else but you. Keisei said clearly. - To me? - Yes. You are now a strong leader in this class. I have no complaints about your ability in the [OAA]. In the future, when competing with people like Sakayanagi and Ryuuen, the role of leader is the most dangerous. I wouldn't be surprised if those two try to ruthlessly expel you. If that's the case, give yourself a point of protection so that you can strategize against the strongest opponents of other classes without fear. I imagined such a situation. Normally, there would be some hostility, but naturally, the classmates listened. Because he had a solid reason, not a random one. - That is not the only reason. Normally, when you have a point of protection, there is a risk of loosening. They could take advantage of that. But I don't think you're that kind of person ... I felt It is not just about giving it to someone who has the ability, but to someone who can do more for the class after giving it to them. That's what Horikita is, Keisei said. - I know what you say, but it's a lot of money. If it is not granted, we will simply lose half of our private points for six months. No wonder some students think like Hondou. - You feel like you are losing money because you are only stopping receiving private points. But think of it as an investment. Horikita will convert you into more class points than you paid for this option. Wouldn't it be easier to think like that?

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - It's a lot of money ... and it might not work, you know? - I don't think you can get to class A without taking risks. We have been fighting at this school for a year and a half myself. - Hmph. It's not a good idea? I'm with you on that suggestion, Glassesboy. Kouenji, who had thought that it would have nothing to do with this special exam, suddenly showed his approval with those words. - For the point of protection that we are going to grant, Horikita-girl should be the best option and will give the best use of anyone. - You have a point of protection, but it doesn't seem like you're trying too hard. - Hard work is for ordinary people. Koenji paid no attention to Sudou's savage taunts. Anyway, it's great that we got the support from Kouenji, who seemed to be the biggest obstacle. I was thinking between options 1 or 3, but I agree with Keisei's presentation. Above all, if you're going to disagree with him here, you must have a good reason. In the atmosphere created by Keisei, the next voting time came. Results of the second round of voting: - 0 votes to be awarded to 3 random people. - 39 votes to grant to 1 person. - 0 votes not to grant it. Keisei's idea was approved. However, the only thing that makes it somewhat problematic is that there is an interval between the target choices. This time, no student seemed to object to Horikita receiving a point of protection, so the students were free to talk and hang out during the interval. Without the need for a nomination vote, it was decided that Horikita would apply herself to the position and become the nominee.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year And without any alteration, the vote was unanimous with 39 votes in favor of Horikita. This was an issue that I thought would be difficult to deal with, but the fact that it was approved faster than I expected was significant. - This concludes the third motion. For the next six months, all private point transfers will be cut in half, but the protection point for Horikita will be granted at this time. Of course, he could not make use of it in this special test, but this managed to give Horikita, the leader, valuable protection. It wasn't a cheap purchase, but it wasn't too expensive either. Motion 4: The following selected rules will be applied to the class on the written exam at the end of the second semester. - Increased difficulty - Increase in penalties - Decrease in rewards What an unpleasant choice! None of this is a disadvantage for the class. If it had been at a time when conversation was allowed, there would have been a lot of grumbling. Results of the first round of voting: - 6 votes to increase the difficulty, - 18 votes to increase penalties, - 15 votes to decrease rewards. All of them are basically options that we do not want to choose, and the vote is divided. The motion seems to be prolonged, as a heated debate ensues between students who were sure of the written test and those who were not, but the next second vote led to a unanimous result with the option to "increase the sanction".

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Horikita's strong persuasion that it wouldn't be difficult to avoid the penalty if they worked diligently also seemed to have worked. -----3-----

With a time limit of five hours, we got to the final assignment in about an hour. Many of the students must have thought they were sure to pass the exam because of the constant flow. After the last question, the special exam would be resolved and 50 class points would be awarded. - That brings us to our next and final motion. But if there is something that worries me, it is the state of my classroom teacher. As each motion progressed, it was obvious that Professor Chabashira's expressions changed for the worse. It was apparent to the students that she had finally reached her peak and was pale. - Professor, are you okay? Although the motion has not been announced yet, talking privately is not something that can be done. However, Yousuke said that as he couldn't ignore it. - That? I'm fine". - No, it obviously doesn't feel right. - That's what you think? No, it is not. I'm fine. It doesn't look like it's a bluff. In other words, you don't even realize something is wrong with you. Or should I say, you do it unconsciously. Anyway, once told that it wasn't, Yousuke had no choice but to back off. The professor watching in the background didn't move, so the final motion would probably start at this point.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year But one thing is for sure. That the next class challenge has a lot to do with Professor Chabashira's current physical condition has to do with her current physical condition. - Now, I'm going to show the final motion. Ready to vote. He told us so, and then he held the tablet in his hand while adjusting his breathing. Then the last task unfolded in front of us. Motion 5: In exchange for expelling a classmate, you get 100 class points. (If the vote is unanimous in favor, identify and vote the student who will be expelled). - Agree - I do not agree The last task is the only one with fewer options so far. At first glance, we tend to think that the smaller the number of options, the easier it will be to choose between them. But in reality, the number of options does not matter much. If there are many strangers in the room, or if it is not possible to have a discussion, having a large number of options is a disadvantage, but in our class, we can have a discussion. The important thing is always the content of the task. Kick someone out or earn class points. This was one of the worst challenges I expected to face. The students, who are not allowed to speak in private, would have been upset to read the motion aloud in their minds. If we vote yes to this question, it means that a student will be expelled from the class. Under normal circumstances, the entire class should vote "no" without hesitation. 100 class points is not a small number, but most of us would prefer that none of our classmates be expelled instead.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year If it were a majority vote, it would probably only take one round of voting, with a majority against, and that would be the end. However, the last four questions have shown that this is not the case. That is the unanimous point, simple but difficult. - Now we'll start a sixty-second countdown, and everyone, please start voting. There is no time to lose, and the 60-second count begins. If the vote is unanimous in favor of the proposal, the selection of the student to be expelled from this class will begin in a hurry. Again, of course, hardly any student would want to do that. 100 class points is not an easy thing to earn. If this were the last semester of the third year, with only one or two more special exams, I would not have been in the same state of mind as I am now. The value of these 100 points skyrockets when it comes to a battle fought for a single point. At that time, a battle between the last two options could be waiting for us. However, the situation is different now. This is not a situation where almost everyone is unsure about voting "no." Still, it is true that there are some concerns, including Kouenji. That's why I'm here, with my hands off the tablet, thinking slowly. The agreement with Horikita is that my role in the first ballot, whatever the motion, is to vote for option 1, but if 38 people, including Horikita, vote against now, it would be better to vote against without an interval and combine them. by 39 votes. This is a task that must be completed quickly, without leaving unnecessary gaps. There is no guarantee that a student will not be swayed by 100 points once the discussion begins. I decided that this was the only motion for which I did not need an interval.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year After about 60 seconds, I see the notification that all votes have been cast. - I'll pass the results now that everyone ... has voted. Despite having a clear change, Professor Chabashira continues to move forward while maintaining her posture. Results of the first round of voting: 2 votes in favor, 37 votes against. There is no unanimity, huh? I took my finger off the button and silently watched the results. Professor Chabashira, who should be reading the results, remains motionless, staring at the monitor, as do the students. The results are surprising ... the votes have been divided in such a way that there has been no "unanimity". There is no guarantee that you can reach unanimity without an interval. On the other hand, perhaps it is the challenge itself that is troubling Professor Chabashira. - Professor Chabashira. Please proceed. The teacher notices Professor Chabashira from behind, who paused for a few seconds. - Sorry. Uh ... 2 votes in favor, 37 against. As there has been no unanimity, we will move on to the interval. Two votes in favor. - Who the hell voted for it? Are you kidding me? Sudou's strong gaze is unilaterally directed at Koenji, although he said, "Who voted for it?" Although Kouenji made some comments about the protection points, it did not stand out much, but the content of the topic was enough to make it take a hit. Of course, for Sudou it was a foregone conclusion, but surely many of the students agreed. - Which one did you choose, Kouenji?

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - Do I have to answer that? - If you cannot answer, it means that you have voted yes, right? - Don't be so critical, Red Hair-boy. First of all, according to Horikita-girl, you should be allowed to make an arbitrary choice in the first round of voting. I don't think there is any reason to complain about which one I choose. After a good discussion, Sudou is blatantly disgruntled. - If a vote is from Koenji, that means that there is another person who has voted 'yes', right? Ike focused on the part where there is one vote left even though Kouenji is excluded. - That is also a problem. Who the hell did it? Sudou yelled annoyed, as if he couldn't figure out who the other one was. - Do not panic. One of those who voted yes was Ayanokoji-kun. - That? Does Ayanokouji agree? How can you say that, Suzune? - I've kept it a secret until now, but before this special review started, he and I made a pact about voting. Whatever the motion, I have arranged so that the first vote is not unanimous. Upon reaching the last motion, Horikita mentioned the content of our preliminary meeting. There is surely no advantage to keeping it hidden when it reaches this stage. Obviously, it is rather a waste of time and effort to find out who is the only vote. - To avoid unanimity in the elections unexpectedly, right? Yousuke added a few words to make it easier for the students who didn't quite understand. - Yes... - Ah, that's what you mean. But you should have told me before. "

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - Not so fast. The first round of voting, when no talking is allowed, is an important opportunity to get a good idea of what our colleagues want. If they knew that we were planning to prevent unanimity from the beginning, some students might vote randomly. I wanted to avoid that. It was his turn to vote for the first option. I will vote for the second. That is why one person voted yes. Looking around the classroom, Horikita addresses everyone. - It is a somewhat radical program, but each one must decide what they want to vote for. I don't think it's wrong to vote yes to earn class points. However, I believe that we should all come together as a class and vote against it. If you have any objections, I would appreciate it if you would raise them here, as you have done before. Normally, this is where students who have voted yes would show their faces. But no matter how long they waited, no one answered Horikita's question. - How long are you going to keep your mouth shut, Kouenji? - I would like you not to assume that I am in favor of this, as I said before. - Shut. I know you're messing with me anyway. If it wasn't Kouenji, he would have been too amused by Sudou's anger to tell him it was him. If the vote is unanimous in favor, the vote will begin to expel a person from the class. That is, someone who wants to kick a classmate to earn 100 class points. This will attract attention and criticism in a bad way. The real intention is that nobody wants to think like that. - It's enough. - Calm down, Sudou-kun. It is only the first round of voting, there is no need to panic. - Hey, but! I don't like that someone voted for this option.

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - It is up to you to interpret it like this. But there is no proof that it was Kouenji-kun. And whoever voted in favor, interprets the fact that it was not presented as a sign. As this is an anonymous vote, let's not delve into it here; if you vote no in the second ballot, it will be unanimous. That should be enough. The task was clear. Horikita seemed to have decided that there was no need to spend any more time on it. As I thought, not chasing after him was one of the best decisions we could make right now. - There is no need to continue discussing this topic. Come on, let's finish it in the next vote. Seeing Horikita's calm, Sudou also slapped both cheeks as if to discipline himself. And with a bit of unrelated chatter, it was time to vote a second time. - Now we will start the 60 second count. The tablet screen changes to show the Agree and Disagree buttons. Instead of having 60 seconds to vote for everyone, the vote seemed to complete in about 20 seconds. - The voting is over, we are going to show the results of the second round of voting. Results of the second round of voting: 2 votes in favor, 37 votes against. Until now, the special tests have not created a strong sense of tension. However, the moment this second result was announced, the atmosphere of the place clearly froze. Once again, the result was two votes in favor. This means that the votes did not move even after the explanation given above. This fact was transmitted to me from the monitor. - Wait ... what's all this?

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Horikita looked, saying this, precisely at me. Why did you vote yes the second time? That is the question you ask. Sudou and the other students who understood what she had just explained also looked at me. - I voted against both in the first and in the second ballot. - That? What's that? Ayanokouji was supposed to vote for the first option, right? - Yes. But due to the content of the motion, I decided on my own that it would be better to vote against it the first time. I didn't tell you because I didn't want to cause unnecessary confusion. If there were two people in favor of the first vote, the motion would increase. The reason for this is that we can't just say, "This is just Kouenji's joke anyway," and be done with this. Horikita, who had kept her composure up to this point, was a bit disturbed. - So ... So there are at least two people who think it's a good idea. Horikita raises her hand to her lips and thinks. You want to stop and think, but the interval is valuable. - If you are going to continue voting in favor of the motion, I would like you to tell me exactly why you are in favor of it. As you can see, thirtyseven people have voted no, except for two. If you want everyone to vote yes, you will have to make a reasonable proposal. The basis for influencing votes is discussion. As more and more people decide that there are greater advantages in favor of the proposal, the vote will change naturally. On the other hand, if there is no discussion, it is not easy to influence the votes. However, the answer to that question was everyone's silence. - Hey, Horikita-san. We will be fine, right? Nobody is going to leave our class, right?

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Kushida, who was worried, couldn't bear the silence and asked Horikita that question. - My policy is, as I have said, that no one is expelled. Horikita reiterates her decision, but after that silence begins again. However, it's easy to say that ... - I don't know who is against it. But I want you to listen carefully. Yousuke got up and spoke softly, but firmly. - They shouldn't choose to eliminate their classmates to earn class points. I don't think the points earned for such a choice are worth it, even if it were 500 or 1,000 points. The most you can get here is 100 class points, which is not worth it for someone to drop out. The attractiveness of a man who hates sacrificing someone the most. Thirtyseven of the thirty-nine understood it to some degree, as Yousuke had said. He thinks we can do without 100 class points, but we can't afford to drop out of school. But whether it is a true intention or not is another question Even before the first ballot, the outcome of the vote for and against this issue was heavily influenced by silent peer pressure. There must be some students in the class who think they will never be expelled. In such a situation, it is not surprising that some of us do not really care about the sacrifices of our classmates. - It's getting interesting isn't it, this special exam? Very well. Kouenji started laughing and continued. - I thought they would vote no in the second round of voting, except for me. Kouenji replied without seeming to take offense. - Except you ... so it's you, Kouenji! - Kouenji, is that true? If you're going to be wild here, you're going to make a mess, so I'd rather you didn't.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Horikita reaffirms her priority of clarifying first whether she was really against it or not. - Rest assured, I voted in favor the first and second time. - Can you tell me why ...? - The answer is simple. 100 more class points, right? That means that you will inevitably earn more private points each month, and there is no reason to choose otherwise. - You got to be kidding. Do you think class points are more important than your friends? - You have a funny way of saying things. You didn't look like that when you got here, did you? - Shut! - I am going to vote yes, so of course I will take that into account. - You don't know what you're talking about ... - Friends? I have never considered them my friends. - You mean you're not going to vote against it next time? - Of course, I will continue to vote in favor if things continue as they are. I'm sure Horikita-girl doesn't want to run out of time, right? - That? Don't think things are going to go your way, Kouenji. If you are going to do so, I will have no mercy, Suzune. We can all vote in favor and have Kouenji expelled! Sure it is an answer that you have come out of the blue, but it is also true that this topic has such an aspect for those who agree. It's also possible to join in and kick out bad guys who say their peers can quit. People unconsciously choose what they want to believe, and then justify the reasons for their choices. Nobody wants to drop out, but it can't be helped because there are students who agree.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year The brain begins to work to justify that the person should be expelled. He also believes in convenient logic, conspiracies, and misinformation. - It would be nice if everyone voted yes. But don't think you can get me expelled for it. Isn't that right, Horikita-girl? Of course. If Kouenji came forward and said he was one of those who voted in favor of the motion, it was only natural that people around him would make a fuss to expel him. It was impossible for this man not to understand this. But since he was showing off his free time, Kouenji would never be expelled. - Is right. You cannot expel Kouenji-kun. - what do you mean? - I made a promise to Kouenji-kun before the uninhabited island trial started, remember? If he won first place in the uninhabited island test, he would protect him until he graduated. I'm sure my colleagues remember that exchange of words. - It was unexpected that he got first place. But thanks to that first place on the exam, our class is now close to class B. It is a huge achievement. - Well that's true, but ... But if you're trying to bring the class down, that's a different story! - I'm sorry you feel trapped. I only freely choose the options that are entrusted to me. You can't assume that voting yes is a bad thing, right? If the content of this motion is "You can expel a person from the class". And if you choose 'yes or no', it can be said that choosing in favor is simply a bad act. However, in this case, instead of just drop out, you get class points. Although it is difficult to put a concrete figure on the value of a single student, no one has the right to deny that Kouenji has the right to calculate that it is more beneficial to agree. With a good argument and a promise, there was no way Horikita would vote in favor of Kouenji's expulsion.

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - Yes Yes. You can break your word! If Kouenji doesn't consider his classmates as his friends, no one will be upset if he gets expelled! - Can not. I'm not breaking my promise to him. - I suppose it must be so. No one will trust a class leader who doesn't deliver on her promises. In that sense, I trust you more than anyone right now, Horikita-girl. Kouenji's troublesome parts came to light. Now that this has happened, Horikita must first persuade Kouenji to do whatever it takes. But there are still many opportunities for it. Even if you think Horikita will basically never betray you, that doesn't mean that Kouenji is 100% protected. The possibility of Horikita eliminating Kouenji should be kept in the corner of his mind. In other words, Kouenji will change his attitude if the seeds of that change appear. However, it is difficult for it to move in that direction. Horikita, who has started to become aware of herself as a leader, if she immediately eliminates Kouenji, it works. So that choice will be a big obstacle in the future. - If you're not going to expel Kouenji, what are you going to do, Suzune? You can't just sit back and say, "Give me a little time to think." Yes, it would have been nice if the only person in favor was Kouenji. But there is another person in favor who has not come forward and should not be overlooked. - I wonder if anyone who voted in favor of the motion, except for Koenjikun, can come forward and tell us. If we don't know, we can't move forward. But there was only a deep and long silence. If it does show up here, there is a fear that they will be threatened and even argue that they are unnecessary, just like with Kouenji. In fact, they are likely to be even more frowned upon than Kouenji. There was no response but silence.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Eventually, time ran out, and the third voting time inevitably came. The unfortunate thing is that there is no limit to the number of times you can vote. If time permits, the opportunity to reach unanimity will come every ten minutes. Results of the third round of voting: 2 votes in favor, 37 votes against. As in the last two times, two people, Kouenji and someone else, voted in favor. For now, many students continue to put more emphasis on Kouenji, but I wonder if they have finally realized it. It won't be long before we have to face the reality that there is a student who has not shown up and is in favor and will continue to monitor for now. We are about to face the danger of anonymity, a danger that we hoped to avoid as much as possible. But the first priority is to take care of Kouenji. There will be no solution unless we convert all votes 'for' into votes 'against'. - It is difficult to ignore if there are people who are voting in favor. But it is not absolute. I think there are certain beliefs that only the people in question have because they stubbornly favor it. If that's the case, I'm going to talk to Kouenji-kun and the other person at the same time. Wasting no time, Horikita began to collect her thoughts. - Thirty-seven of us will continue to vote no, and two who will continue to vote yes. The worst that can happen is that our time is running out. As classmates, we lose the same number of class points, so it seems like a painful division for both parties, but we who oppose it only lose class points, but not our friends. We can pass this special exam without anyone leaving the class. But those in favor will lose a lot rather than gain the only advantage. I'm right? He recounted the concrete gains and losses, and explained the risk of finishing the exam without reaching unanimity. Of course, who does not show himself does not answer anything, but what about Kouenji? - If our time is running out, so be it. So go ahead and vote. Kouenji tells Horikita to play along.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - Of course, if there is unanimity in favor, we will take a step forward. But then there is the biggest obstacle in deciding which of our colleagues to expel. Do not think that it will be easy to achieve unanimity, right? - It's your job to make it work, Horikita-girl. Also, it's not so bad for someone to quit, right? - That is not true. No one should be expelled. Before Horikita can respond to the last thing, Yousuke steps forward. - I do not understand. You seem to be afraid that some students will drop out, but wouldn't it be easier for you to see this as a positive mental thing? They can eliminate any unwanted students they want, and they can even get class points. If you change your mind a little, you will see that it is a good option to vote in favor. The only person besides me who is voting in favor knows this. It is a sharp idea, but it is reason enough to vote in favor. - I don't think that's true, Kouenji-kun. It is not a good thing to lose someone of this class. In response, Kushida also said that classmates should be prioritized. In response, those who were against, who had not spoken much so far, began to voice their objections. But Kouenji didn't soften his attitude, he just smiled. Kouenji, the person I most wanted to draw the debate to, did not respond, and it was time to vote for the fourth time. Results of the fourth round of voting: 2 votes in favor, 37 votes against. The third interval began with a signal from Professor Chabashira, after dozens of minutes of appeals that had no effect. - What am I supposed to do? I don't know, maybe I could punch him in the face, knock him unconscious and vote on my own. - I don't think so ... Let's try to be objective for once. If you do, you may find that your way of thinking has changed as well. Horikita is forced to try other approaches to avoid a parallel course of events.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - What do you mean by "objective"? - It is just a question of which three classes, excluding us, he will choose. - That ... Definitely, Ryuuen's class is going to eliminate a single student. Sudou says without hesitation, crossing his arms behind his neck. Many of the colleagues seemed to agree with him and said: "Indeed." Seeing their way of acting and thinking, that is very likely to happen. - Yes, it may be the class with the highest probability. - On the contrary, Ichinose's class would never do it. And the Sakayanagi class? Ryuuen's class is expected to be in favor of this motion. Ichinose's class, on the other hand, is expected to object. And the Sakayanagi class has the potential to be both. Coincidentally, the three classes have different responses, an interesting result shared by classmates. In this case, there was almost no discussion about Ichinose's class, who were known to be against the idea. After all, the focus of the discussion would be on Ryuuen's class. - I don't want us to be outdone by Ryuuen. There's momentum right now, so we need to get out there and be in class B, right? - Still, there won't be much of a difference. Even without the advantage we have now, the difference in class points is 100, and a special exam is enough to make up for it. - I know what you mean. Still, let me say one thing. Akito, who had been calmly working on this special exam until now, broke his silence when he reached the last motion. - It is unlikely. But it's possible that these 100 points will make you regret it at some point, right?

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - What the hell, Miyake, does that mean we have to select someone to drop out of school? - Do not misunderstand. I am explicitly against it. He looked more surprised than angry, and he fought back. - I think it is better to get to class A without missing anyone from this class. So I think you have to understand the weight of 100 points and not take it lightly. - what do you mean? - It means that we all have to voice our opposition to the idea of a future where this special exam is the turning point as we approach graduation. It was a mistake to vote against without preparation, it was Akito's opinion. - Well, I certainly didn't think anything about it ... Being against without thinking twice. Students find themselves in the shadow of such peer pressure. - Kouenji. I am aware of your participation in the uninhabited island test. I think it's strange that you get the ban, even without your promise to Horikita. Besides Horikita and Sudou, Akito also directs his thoughts to Kouenji. - But still, you can't bother the class for as long as you want. Class points aren't the only thing that makes a relationship work. Understand what I say? - Huh ... Closing his eyes, Koenji nodded deeply. Then, thinking of something or not, he opened his eyes and took a look at Akito. - Of course I have no idea about that. - Think about how this school works. Everything is based on the points earned. It is not about friendship or affinity. Class points are used to determine top classes, and private points are used to determine

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year individual benefits. It is an inextricably linked evaluation system. I don't see anything wrong with agreeing to make that a priority. - You are very smart. You haven't contributed to the class in years! Just because you won first place on an uninhabited island doesn't mean you can act like this all the time! - I think you need to look in the mirror, Red Hair-boy. I think it's pretty obvious who the biggest contribution to the class is between you and me. Sudou's reputation is growing now, but when he first entered the school, he was a troublesome kid just like Kouenji. If you take into account the fluctuations in the class points, Sudou's part is worse than hers. - Well, it's not the class points that I care about. The attitude towards Kouenji's approval had seemed untenable up to this point. However, Horikita did not ignore this comment from Kouenji. - The class points don't matter to you, so these 100 points are important to you for the private points, it is not for being promoted to class A. So is that why you keep voting in favor? - You're right. I want to be in favor for the sake of my private points, because two assignments ago I chose to halve the amount of my private points for six months. I took it through my tears as it was necessary, but that's not going to happen this time. You want the class points to make up for the private points you will lose. Turns out this is why Kouenji is in favor. Some students may resent the fact that a student is being expelled for private reasons. However, Horikita saw this as an opportunity. - Alright Kouenji-kun, let's make a deal. It won't be a bad deal for you. - Hey? Sounds interesting. I would like to hear your proposal. Koenji accepted the proposal without disinterest, rather as if he had been waiting for it.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - If from now on you vote against, and the vote is unanimous, I will pay you 10,000 private points every month from now until we graduate. This would be the equivalent of more than 100 class points, right? - Yes, that would certainly make it useless for Kouenji-kun to vote for it. - As you would expect from Horikita-girl, you haven't been long in coming to that conclusion. - You were in favor of achieving this proposal from the beginning, right? - It means my vote is worth it. It could raise the price, but I need the Horikita-grl to be a reliable ally. Let's make it work on those terms. - I don't think we need to put it in writing, do we? We have Professor Chabashira present here. - Of course, I don't expect you to back down on your promise. The deal is done. Kouenji voted in favor of the motion, and it seemed immovable. Finally, he moves and seems to agree to reach unanimity. The fact that he dared to continue voting in favor of the motion was to let Horikita take it away was a masterstroke. It was the fifth time that they had voted. The fact that Kouenji made it clear that he was going to vote against it must have had an effect on the other person who remains anonymous. It would not be easy for a single person to continue voting in favor, even if anonymous. In other words, it is a vote that has the potential to go in the opposite direction without the need for persuasion. But... Results of the fifth round of voting: 1 vote in favor, 38 votes against. Kouenji changed his vote to no, but there was still one vote in favor.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year We may want to take some of the weight off our shoulders, but the real battle seems to be here. An absolute vote in favor of that anonymous person. To overcome this, you still have to find out who is voting for it. But it is more difficult than anything else. The tablet is basically impossible to spy on, but you can see where you touch it with your fingertips if you want to. However, the school has anticipated this and the order of the elections is random from the beginning. It is impossible to check the movements of the fingers of others because the options are changed each time you vote. There is no other way. - It seems that things are not going to be easy. - As I was saying, unless there is unanimity against it, the agreement we just made is void. - I know, I know. I understand, but if the vote is unanimous in favor, or if we run out of time, I will be forced to resign. As long as it is anonymous, there is no way to prove that Kouenji did not vote in favor, except unanimously against. You don't seem to think you can get private points for any other option. If you vote as you please here, your good deal will be lost. More than anything, antagonizing Horikita would be inconvenient for Kouenji, who wanted to have a relaxed school life. There were about three hours left. Despite her difficulties, Horikita is making progress to break through with a solid strategy. However, it is also a fact that we cannot sit idly by. We have to achieve unanimity before the remaining time runs out. Until then, I'll just sit around watching this war unfold, but I can give some support. I coughed a couple of times during the interval.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year In the middle of the talk, nobody pays attention to that cough. But it is only a coughing fit that can be heard if you are aware of it. - You know, Horikita-san ... - Yes, Karuizawa-san? - It's me, but maybe you have an idea who is voting up. - Why do you think that? Horikita's face showed her surprise at Kei's unexpected suggestion. - I have thought about it. The Horikita of the past would have taken it as a mere thoughtful comment. But now that the fact that Kei and I are coming out is when things start to change. - Yes ... You are right, Karuizawa-san. I may have an idea who is still voting for it. - Why don't you say so? Who the hell is it? - I can not tell you. This special exam is an anonymous survey. If you say a name just because it occurs to you, you won't be able to retract it if you make a mistake. - But...! - I know. So I think I have to prepare. We will have time for a few more votes. When the number of votes in favor still does not reach zero ... I will have no choice but to mention that name then. " - Wait a minute, Horikita-san. I do not agree with you. As Horikita-san just said, there is no way to be sure who votes for that option. And I don't think it's acceptable to give names just because you have an idea. Of course, I say this only because I don't want anyone to be expelled, you understand that, right? - I agree with Hirata-kun. I do not think it is correct to say something without absolute certainty. Kushida also uneasily says that she agrees with Yousuke.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year From the opinions of both, the students were filled with anxiety. 'If Horikita misunderstands me in any way and mentions my name, they will criticize me.' 'If you ask me why I voted in favor when it was against, I will be under siege with no way out.' If 38 people vote in favor of the proposal because they are in a rush to run out of time, there will inevitably be talk of targeting one person for expulsion. - I know ... I know, that's why I haven't said the name until now. But I can't let time run out. It is not like this? - I know how you feel. I am not the same person as before, and if I have to do something necessary, I am willing to do it. But it has to be 100%. " - Yes. He tried to make a few more changes to the situation, which was starting to get heavy. - Besides Horikita, can anyone else think of who could continue to vote up? - I can't think of anyone. I don't know why someone other than Kouenji would be so stubbornly in favor of this. That question isn't just thinking about Sudou. The idea is to tolerate such a situation, which will result in expulsions. - If you know who it is, even if you can't name it, it might change your mind a bit. I would like you to raise your hand if you have any questions. He asked again to make sure. However, none of them had any idea who it might be. - Yousuke. I don't want to doubt anyone, but if Yousuke has a broad friendship with both men and women, isn't there anyone who comes to mind? - No. I'm not lying, I can't really think of anyone.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - Well ... So how about Kushida? Kushida doesn't show any unusual emotion when I ask her to speak. Rather, Horikita looks at me and gets annoyed at what I'm pretending to say. - Who do you think has voted in favor? - Um ... Um ... I'm sorry Ayanokoji-kun, I'm just like Hirata-kun, there's no one that comes to mind. " - Kushida is the one who knows the class best. I thought she might know a bit about students who are dissatisfied with the class. Everyone knows that she cares about the class more than anyone else, and that she is always there to offer friendly advice. Certainly, the class looked at Kushida expectantly. - Ummm ... I don't know if someone comes to mind. But I'll be sure to let you know if something occurs to me later. - Ah. Please, I have the feeling that the presence of people like Yousuke and Kushida is essential for this last special exam. Without the combined efforts of all of us, it will be difficult to overcome this adversity. But this cooperation was not enough, and the result of the sixth round of voting was published and it was also ... Results of the sixth round of voting: 1 vote in favor, 38 votes against. Results unchanged and we repeat the vote. Results of the seventh round of voting: 1 vote in favor, 38 votes against. Results of the eighth round of voting: 1 vote in favor, 38 votes against. The results remain the same and the intervals are getting quieter. The next interval began next. A little over an hour had passed since the start of this challenge. Professor Chabashira nearly collapsed with a heavy blow.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year He clung to the podium as if to fall, and managed to prevent himself from collapsing. - Huh ... huh ... As the discussion continued, the breathing of Professor Chabashira, who had been on her feet the entire time, became agitated. - Professor? - I'm fine. No problem… She said this and adjusted her posture as if trying to motivate herself. Professor Chabashira looked at the students with empty eyes, I wonder what she was thinking. Finally, he exhaled heavily with a kind of determination. - The teacher cannot guide the students towards a specific option. Naturally, I, for my part, would not do such a thing. But can I tell you an old story? Of course, it will take a lot of your valuable time. That, if you don't mind. - Miss Chabashira. A teacher's statement in itself is not prohibited, but if you violate the rules, you will not leave without a warning either. If we consider it as an incentive to protect the class. - Yes. If you see any intention to induce the election, I am ready to be punished. When he replied that he understood, the teacher in the background fell silent. As there could be no other way, an unexpected proposal came from Professor Chabashira, who had never participated in the special exam. It could be seen as a ray of light in this stagnant environment. - Now we are suffering from this situation. As long as it doesn't affect our decisions, please tell us what you have to say, teacher. If we can break the ice somehow it would be welcome, that's what Horikita said.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Of course, if we're going to be honest, we want to have momentum for the "option against." However, under the watchful eye of the teacher in the background, direct expressions should be avoided. - I attended this school. And I took this special test when I was a student. Horikita and the rest of her classmates are surprised to hear that story for the first time. - Professor, did you also take this special exam unanimously ...? - Yes, there were five motions, some of which were slightly different, but the final motion they are facing now was the same, word for word. In exchange for expelling a partner, you get 100 class points. The students were shocked to hear Chabashira's statement that he had undergone the exact same special exam. - One thing is for sure. It's about doing everything without regrets. In favor, against. Whatever choice they make ... they must not regret the result. Find a way. They still have time. For the first time, everyone hears Professor Chabashira speak to her students with her true feelings. It does not guide us to choose any option, nor does it offer us solutions. It's solid advice that's right on the edge of what a teacher can do. The teacher, who was listening behind me, did not tell us that it was against the rules. I don't know if this will influence the result. However, there is no doubt that he provided the students with the words to face this special test again. Even with the support of Professor Chabashira, it was not a good idea to waste the remaining time of the interval. - The time is coming when we must make up our minds ... But before we do, let me talk to you one more time. I'm not your enemy ... I'm on your side.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year That person's name must have crossed Horikita's mind many times. The face, the voice, the eyes, the breath. Horikita keeps trying to convince the person that no one knows who he is. Surely you have asked yourself this question repeatedly. I think we should give them a name. However, I am not saying this because Horikita really wants to be on his side. A plea that sounded like a cry of pain. With that, the ninth vote was taken. The result was… Result of the ninth round of voting: 1 vote in favor, 38 votes against. After all, the vote in favor of the motion did not change. Only one. There is a student who holds tightly to 100 class points. No ... Someone clings to the right to force a partner to be expelled. This is the real truth that only I, or perhaps only the two of us, including Horikita, know about. It is safe to assume that one person's minute vote in favor of the motion continues to persist. But there is no way to objectively confirm that that person is against it in this situation. Horikita said that if time ran out, she would be forced to pronounce the name. But in reality, no matter how many times the vote is repeated, Horikita will never say that name. Are you against it? "She knows there is no point in asking that question. In fact, once she says her name, she will lose everything for the rest of her life. Although there was still some time left, the set time limit of two hours was approaching. It's the time limit to make a big decision.

Chapter 4 - Honami Ichinose's Decision. Before this special exam started, there was a class that all the teachers thought would surely pass the test. On the other hand, it was also anticipated that there was concern that, if they retreated without a fight, they would retreat from the battle to go up to class A. That's class B, which Ichinose is the leader. Motion 5 - In exchange for expelling a student from the class, the class gets 100 points. (In the event that the vote is unanimous, the student to be expelled will be voted on) After arriving at the last task in the first hours, Ichinose and his team had completed the first vote and were awaiting the results. There were no signs of anxiety or discomfort. Except for one person. Kanzaki begins to pray while looking at the other classmates, excluding himself, since he knows that he has voted differently. He firmly hopes that the voting results are a bit even. -

Then I will announce the results ...

The sensei, Chie Hoshinomiya, operates the tablet while showing feelings as if she is disappointed. The results that were shown for all were the following: Results of the first vote: 1 vote in favor, 39 votes against. After acknowledging the worst outcome she had imagined, Kanzaki closed her eyes once.

Of course, the students in class B are not surprised by the overwhelming majority of negative votes. There was no doubt that there would be unanimous votes to approve the exercise as usual. But, that there was a vote in favor was not out of the thoughts of the class either. -

Who is the one who pushed him? Did someone press the wrong button?

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Without a sense of crisis, it was Shibata who sitting in the front looked at his other companions when asking. The possibility that this vote was intentional was not considered. Not only Shibata, but everyone in the class has the same opinion. Hearing that, a feeling of uncontrollable anger arises in Kanzaki. He, who until now has been quietly and diligently helping each and every one of his classmates as much as possible, feels irritated. But, in this exercise, all the classmates could be a drag on his future. Kanzaki, who occupies a representative position, feels that concern more strongly than anyone. -

I will not discuss it for the moment, and it will be better to comment on it until the next vote ...

No sense of crisis. The idea of deciding which class points is more important in exchange for sacrificing a partner is completely wrong. Kanzaki, tired of not being able to continue listening to all this, stood up strongly and spoke.

Wait a minute…! We may reach unanimity by voting against at any time. But can we really say with certainty that it is the right thing to do, to continue to choose to protect our peers?

Interrupting Shibata's words, he stood up, hitting the calm desk with an irritated face. -

I feel like we all suffer from a normalcy bias[1] , and we are making this decision lightly, but yes, it does not seem unusual to me that 39 votes against were cast without any question or doubt. If our class wants to keep winning, we will have to make new decisions. We are already on the edge of the precipice. We are already on the edge and we are going to fall off the cliff without realizing it. If we chase the class points faster, it will be a dream come true to get to class A, if not, we will fall into the abyss just because we care about one person.

Kanzaki is not good at arguments, but his companions are looking at him with a look colder than an iceberg. -

What does that mean, Kanzaki? Does that mean you voted to sacrifice someone?

Shibata looks back and says that he is not satisfied with the up vote, that it was not a mistake. It was not only Shibata who was complaining, but also Tetsuya Hamaguchi, Yume Kobashi, Mako Amikura, and Chihiro Shiranami, who were watching as this class discussion went on. -

Yes. It is certainly important to protect your classmates, but our class has been dropping its score since we entered. If the lower classes prioritize class points over peers, in this special exam we will very possibly go down to class D.

The only person listening to Kanzaki's complaints was her classroom teacher, Hoshinomiya. But as a teacher, you can't say that you agree or disagree with the idea. -

I know, but certainly no one in this class deserves to be expelled.

Trying to calm the waters of that situation, Shiranami instantly showed his opposition towards Kanzaki. -

I understand, yes, I understand ...

-

I'm saying is that we're going to fall into class D if we continue like this, but I don't think anyone will drop someone else just for 100 class points. Well, I

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year don't know if one of those who could provoke that would be Ryuuen, but this exam has its requirement with a trick. In this exam, a unanimous vote is required and everyone agrees. Also, I don't think any of the other classes want to expel someone. If we foresee that all classes will make unanimous decisions in their opposition to expulsion, the gap will not widen. -

Of course, it is not easy for any class to make the decision to expel a friend. It's not easy for any class to cut ties that way, but what matters to me is how it's done, isn't it natural that some students, if not half, think they should put their class before their friends?

-

Do you mean that you want to open a debate when we have all decided our answer?

-

It is not a debate, it is a clear discussion about the points of view of each of the colleagues.

-

That's not okay, it's never okay to leave someone out for just a few points.

Class points or companions. If the choice were as simple as which of the two is more important, we would have no problems. But, Kanzaki is full of doubts and that stops us. However, the situation has changed a lot since I entered this school. Starting with class B, the class points are different from each other. In the first semester of the first year we take a big advantage over the two lower classes. He never complained about helping classmates as long as we were in this class position. -

Will no one change their opinion for the next vote?

As she gives up trying to dissuade them, Kanzaki thinks there is one last chance to pull it off and looks at her classmates. However, no one seems to agree with him. Even if they partially agree with each other, there are no students who want to start another discussion. Everyone believes that the second vote will be the unanimous decision to decline expulsion, no, I hope that happens.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year -

I'm sorry, but I… I am against this election and I will not unanimously oppose it, I will not follow your opinions.

While feeling the pressure, Kanzaki muttered to resist. -

Does that ... does that mean you will be in favor of the next vote?

Ichinose, who has remained silent throughout Kanzaki's talk, asks about her true intentions. -

That's right ... sorry, but they won't make me change.

-

We can't make you change your mind, right? I would never want to be in a class where people sacrifice their friends for points.

-

That's right, Kanzaki. This motion is a challenge and a trap, however you look at it. If you think that you can sacrifice someone just to earn points faster, you will suffer the consequences in the future, don't you think?

-

But ... if you do, you can be closer to reaching Class A. It is the only way to get closer to that class, only then will we achieve it ... if we continue to protect others, the other two classes will surpass us, just for being good people ...

-

I don't think it is easy to sacrifice so many people. I don't think it's that easy and I don't think a class like this can continue to function in the future. The class that protects their friends and believes in them is the one that wins in the end, don't you think?

Almost in unison, all the companions nodded in response. -

They have to see reality. The situation is quite different from last year, now we are in an extremely difficult situation. We have lost many personal points just because we did not choose to retain the position of some. While the other classes that lack companions are going from strength to strength.

-

All of this won't last forever.

-

What makes you so sure that it won't last forever?

-

If you ask me this, I will ask you. What makes you think that if it lasted forever?

-

You just have to see where we stand now, we were in second position and now we are in danger of falling to fourth.

-

Kanzaki, look at reality please. Right now we are in class B. So much so that if the advantage is 1 point or 100, we are still class B, don't you think? And if we

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year did come down, would you stay with your arms folded? Or would you try again to climb with us to class B? Or even better, get to class A. In the past, Kanzaki has always been under a lot of pressure, but she has tried her best to keep her mind on the game. He was so desperate that people would question this idea. -

Kanzaki. I understand that you want to have many options to win this test, but there are options that you should never take. I think that's the case with this test. It's not because you don't have enough class points to kick. It is a mistake to put class points and friends on the tightrope.

After Ichinose said those words, all of his classmates felt that those words were the ones they needed to hold their ideals strong. She has always put others first, and now more than ever she continues to show it. Meanwhile, Kanzaki sighs totally disappointed. But he knows that this class is often envied by the others. They are cheerful, kind, egalitarian, they are the ideal balance between study and sports. This advantage was created by the trusting power of Ichinose, the group leader. But at the same time it has a great disadvantage. His presence has produced a mass following and created an environment that does not pay attention to several important things. Even if they tell you that if you quit the test you are guaranteed to pass, you would still put your friends ahead of the rest in class. It's an obsession that will make you say: I'd rather stay in class B than have to abandon my friends. Again, Kanzaki had to remember that that was the only flaw. -

You're right ... maybe I'm wrong.

To overcome these shortcomings, we were willing to take risks and consequences to move forward. I may not be the right person for the job, but I have to because there is no one fitter. -

What if I keep voting up until the end? In this special test, even one vote has a lot of power, even if it is only one. I could ignore the will of all of you and continue to vote in favor.

There is no way you can keep thinking that way. We are not running out of time and we keep failing. If we continue like this, we will have less than 300 points, which means that we could not beat the other classes.

No one would ever choose to run out of time. They all have common sense. -

It's the same if we don't get 100 points here, I don't think you'll graduate with an A in this class. So if you lose 100 or 300 it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter how small or big the loss is ...

-

Enough. Enough of arguing. Let's continue with the voting.

Chie Hoshinomiya, interrupted the discussion that Kanzaki had with her classmates to move on to the time of the vote. The tablet now displays a different voting screen, with buttons saying "for" and "against." Silently, Kanzaki carefully looked at the button of her choice. The class fell silent and stopped moving. The air is filled with the feeling that 39 people have finished voting in less than a second. Everyone has finished voting. Kanzaki finally made her decision and pressed the button, at the same time Hoshinomiya spoke. -

Okay everyone. They've already voted, so I'll show the results.

Result of the second round: 1 vote in favor, 39 votes against. Despite all the attempts to convince Kanzaki, none could come up with his reason. The hall filled with a silent air as they watched him. -

Why do you keep voting that way, Kanzaki?

-

Stop thinking that way.

All of his companions, including Ichinose, were extremely upset at his stubbornness. However, this carefree environment was beginning to change little by little due to Kanzaki's steadfast determination and stubbornness.

I am willing to continue voting up this way until you all see that I am right.

At this dry comment, the class fell silent, even though the new interval began. -

If I continue to vote yes, after a few hours I will have to redo my ideas and change my idea, but we will have to fervently debate whether voting is the right thing to do.

Kanzaki says that he is willing to make the most of this opportunity for the remaining three and a half hours of the exam. -

There are only a few ways out of this situation. They know that they have to admit that I am right and vote in favor.

-

What do you mean, Kanzaki-kun? That must not be ...

-

That would be unethical. It wouldn't be because like you say, there's no way I'm sacrificing any of my classmates in this class. But it has never meant that you have to vote yes.

Blocking Ichinose's words, Kanzaki didn't stop resisting and continued. -

There is only one way to continue. Choose and leave me.

"I want to change this class on my own." You can read it on his face. -

If you don't have the courage to step up on this special test, you can't move on to class A. That means you will spend half your school life without a clear and defined mindset. If that is the case, I will go out looking for a different path.

It seemed like a strange comment, but it was the only way in which Kanzaki could express her thoughts. This class cannot take action for students to drop out. On the other hand, we don't have to use any luck to avoid expulsions. Voting continues for 3 new resistance intervals. In total, 5 new rounds of voting were held. All of them with the vote in favor of Kanzaki at the table. Not a single vote was moved. It looked like a replay of the screen. -

See you in the next interval.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Maybe they were already exhausted by so many intervals and still in the same place, that everyone was showing their annoyance, including Hoshinomiya-sensei. The guard at the back of the classroom has no problem regarding the attitude of the teacher. The role given to him was to maintain impartiality. Whether the students joke or the teacher is not motivated, it is an action that they can take freely, because it is in the norms. But, it's already been half an hour. This means that they can repeat 3 more rounds of voting, but they know that the results will be the same. Only the voting result that is fixed and invariable is reflected and returned. -

Half an hour has passed and it is the last test.

-

It can not be helped. We have to wait until Kanzaki-kun votes "against" like us.

The hope of the 39 people who vote in favor is that Kanzaki will tire of arguing and vote “against”. At first he tried to be nice, then he berated them severely, but Kanzaki kept voting silently. -

Hi guys, I'm getting bored with so much silence, can I talk to you about something? And if they are not interested they can ignore me.

Hoshinomiya-sensei, who has been aware of everything that happened, opened her mouth and commented. -

When I was studying, I went through the same thing as you. Why? Because I once took this unanimous exam. And like you, it came with the same rules.

-

It is rare, ¿ is not the first time he speaks of his d í school as well ?

The relationship or n between Ichinose and Hoshinomiya class was good, and knew from the beginning that it was from this school. In the process, many students tried to ask him about his d í school as well , but it is fair to say that did not have a chance to talk about it. -

I remember getting stuck for a long time in this test too, although the situation was vastly different.

Showing a cold smile, he remembered those days.

It is the definitive choice between class points and friends. So there were many disputes. Guys held each other by the chest during these discussions.

-

Well, ¿ it was not that too much?

You can not imagine a situation or n as í in your class where you grab the chest. Chihiro smiled Shiranami or bitterly as he stared at the girls. -

Well, they were other times. In my case, it was the third quarter of my third year, when I was going one point at a time. If you talk about expelling someone, it's normal for your friends to stand up for you. But sometimes you have to get rid of someone to win, don't you think? Would you have made the same decision if with these 100 points you were promoted to class A?

Hoshinomiya-sensei didn't understand what Kanzaki wanted to ask and put it in other words. -

You can't expel someone you have to do everything you can to make up for it on the next school exam.

-

What if there is no next time? What if this exam is the last one before graduation? Now you could get to class A. but between us and the other class the difference could be dozens of points. If we prioritize the protection of our friends we could never make it and we would stay in class B. Therefore, there is no better option than to sacrifice someone and get those 100 points.

No matter how good the class is, you need to think clearly about every move. If they continue to protect companions, the fall of class B is almost confirmed. -

Do we want to continue with unanimity in the opposition? Or do we bet on the dream that class B does not reach class A and opts for the option of not dropping out?

His companions who had been talking trying to persuade him fell silent one by one ... -

I know it is a very unpleasant question, but, we are in that situation. One thing is for sure ... if you want to move up to Class A, you have to play rock, paper, scissors or whatever you want to choose to win. You can't run out of time.

Me? Of course choose to eliminate unnecessary weights. Because in the end, what matters is you, not your friends or confidants. It's the same for everyone who's going against you right now. So, I'm fine as long as you keep me going.

We all want to graduate with an outstanding class. That's what everyone thinks. But many of us know from the bottom of our hearts that this is just idealism. Fellowship or self-preservation? The answer to this complicated question left others speechless. -

I can't say much more as they watch me closely. But I will respect whatever your choice is. But don't take it as a choice lightly. If you're just friends on the surface, don't worry about class points. They've only known each other for a year and a half, right? You are going to get over it. In fact, the 3 who dropped out of other classes are already a thing of the past, don't you think? But what if you don't make it to class A? This decision will haunt you for the rest of your days. If you really care about your friends, you have to put them first. I won't tell you which choice to make, but what I will do is tell you that there are advantages and disadvantages on both sides.

After this talk, the next vote began, everyone uncomfortable with so many words looked closely at the button. The result? Again 1 in favor and 39 against. There were no changes again in the election. Hoshinomiya-sensei was not surprised at this result, rather he smiled at the stubbornness on both sides. -

You know, Kanzaki, is that enough, can you stop this now?

In the interval after the vote, Yuki Himeno screamed in disgust. -

I understood what Kanzaki-kun was trying to say, after hearing Hoshinomiyasensei's story as well. But I don't think that means we have to vote her favor here and now. I'm sure that won't change, although we're probably running out of time.

He is willing to use up time to protect his friends. That is the perception of Himeno and the majority of the class. In response, Ichinose expresses his own thoughts. -

I can understand Kanzaki-kun's story and Hoshinomiya-sensei's story. I understand what you mean. But what they were talking about was what to do when you find yourself in a similar situation. I can understand people getting upset, I think it's not bad, but if I was in that situation- I don't think it makes

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year sense to let my friends get expelled and class A. So what should I do for that? I don't want to be in that situation, I don't want to have to make that absurd decision. Still, I think it's important to make sure we get to class A. -

That is too Idealistic. An overwhelming class A in which nobody has to be expelled but how many class points do we have to get for that to happen?

-

I still don't know ... but I want to be in that class.

His companions listened intently and nodded repeatedly as they listened to what could have been a dream. Kanzaki's resistance no longer makes sense. If we continue to vote in favor here, we will only run out of time, as Himeno mentions. -

We'll be in this together, Kanzaki.

-

If you're right.

An opposition is prey and complains to convince others that they are not afraid. -

I will try to force a change in this class, in my own way. But you may not be qualified for this situation.

I don't know if I will end up in class B or D, but I'm sure I will hardly make it to class A. That was enough to convince me. The expression on your face, when accepting the decision to throw against it, lacked vitality, but few seemed to have noticed it. After that, it was time to vote, as if there had been a mistake before. Why the result was: 40 people have chosen to decline to expulsion, unanimous results. Result after the tenth vote: 0 in favor and 40 against. He finally decided to give up the class points to abandon his friends. -

And now that the final test is unanimous, the special exam is over. Thank you very much guys.

-

Thank you Kanzaki. We will have 50 points as a reward.

The school day lasts approximately 3 hours. You are not allowed to stay in school, but it is free time. -

By the way, it seems that class A has also made its decision.

-

Really? They don't surprise me, having Sakayanagi-san as the leader.

That means that there are still Ryuuen and Horikita-san who are still doing this exam together with their class, right?

-

Yes, anyway. Don't waste your time talking and get out of the classroom now. Other classes are in the middle of a special test, so please do not invade the concourse and quietly leave your seats.

As each of them shared their thoughts on the joy of finally being free from the special exam, Kanzaki slowly rose from her place.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Chapter 5 - Ryuuen's Decision Special unanimity test, which begins at 1.00 pm Class D. This classroom, of about 40 students, was also beginning to fill with a heavy atmosphere. Of course, this was due to the intensity of the final challenge that we had come to. Motion 5・Get 100 class points in exchange for expelling a classmate. (In case the vote is unanimous, the student who will be expelled will be voted) Result of the first vote: 14 votes in favor and 26 votes against. This is the time when the results of the vote are released. Horikita's class, as well as Ichinose's, had a high concentration of votes against. However, compared to the other two classes, the number of classmates in favor of expelling a student was not very small. This means that more than a third of students consider, at first glance, that the class points should be a priority, even if they have to expel someone. - What are you going to do, Ryuuen-san? In response to the result, the first person Ishizaki asked was the class leader, Ryuuen Kakeru. The process to reach this motion began in this way. Since it is unlikely that a decision will be unanimous in a single vote, the first interval is used to listen to the leader's policy and thus achieve unanimity in the following votes. The sequence is similar to other classes, but its precision was extremely high. The class of confrontation in motion 1, the ratio of protection points in motion 3, and the test imposed on his own class in motion 4, all of them were unanimous in the elections instructed by Ryuuen in a single interval. All he let them do was decide on the school trip for task 2. He let his classmates debate for half an hour and finally they unanimously agreed on the destination with the most votes.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year It is obvious to all that this motion 5 is different, but the method is essentially the same. Any matter that seems to require an instruction is decided with a single word from Ryuuen. The students were well aware of the meaning of Ryuuen's vow. If Ryuuen is in favor of this, it means that someone will have to drop out of school. A final decision. This is the characteristic of a class that is held together by a dictatorship. Looking at the results and smiling, Ryuuen got up from his chair. - Up to this point it had been boring, but unsurprisingly, the school had no intention of playing with this. Otherwise it would not be so interesting. Mumbling to himself for all of his companions to hear, he heads to the stage. Sakagami, who had been guarding the class she was in charge of, feels that Ryuuen is approaching and takes his distance, this is because she understands very well that from here the challenge for Ryuuen begins. As if he had a reserved seat, Ryuuen sat on the stage. He then got into position so that he could see all his companions and said his first words: - Those who were in favor, raise your hand. An intense tension runs through the air, whether you agree or not, there is no consideration whatsoever for Ryuuen's orders, this is because, in previous motions, he had not even asked which option they had voted for. After a few seconds of hesitation, the raising of hands began, among them were Nishino and Kaneda who raised their hands as they looked out the window, looking half-hearted. - Five, well, I guess that's it; It's a good start. The fact is that there are nine students who did not obey the order and voted in favor. The first surprised students were Ishizaki and Komiya, from what they saw. Komiya appeals to her silent companions not to get into trouble.

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - Not that he had been instructed to do something. It was up to the person to vote for or against, wasn't it? Komiya explains that it is not her fault, and to make sure she is okay, she checks with Ryuuen, however, when Ryuuen did not respond immediately, it caused a moment of tension in Komiya. If there is a difference in interpretation, it could lead to a reprimand. - I want you to put your hands up before it bothers me! Hating to change the atmosphere of the place, Ishizaki rushed to follow him. Then, a student raised his hand in apology. With this, the number of students rises to six, but the remaining eight still do not raise their hands. - It's okay, Ishizaki. For now if you don't want to raise your hand, you don't have to. - Well, are you sure? - As Komiya said, each one must decide whether to agree or not. So, first of all, everyone has to think about what they want to do. We have just over eight minutes left, more than enough time. Checking the time without flinching, Ryuuen doesn't even try to change his position without losing his smile, he only vaguely told them to think about it and then did nothing; for more than two minutes, they did nothing but remain silent. - Well, don't waste your time. Think in which direction you want to vote. From here, silence again, ten seconds, thirty seconds, a minute pass and they don't even try to say something. All the motions made so far had forced them to make a decision in the first interval. So the only question the students ask themselves is: why isn't Ryuuen giving the orders? However, few students are able to express their opinions in this way, and as time goes by, their lips become more and more closed. [Please give me some instructions] At first, Ishizaki and his colleagues seemed to be able to say it, but they didn't. The lips stuck together and did not open, as if they were glued.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year The more time passed, the more the desire to speak was lost. Over time, those who wanted to speak for themselves faded into the background, replaced by the hope that someone else would do it for them. When even that had happened, they began to hope that it was time to vote soon, although the time remaining was longer. The first interval, which seemed long and drawn out, ended with a period of silence for the most part. Sakagami was not expecting it, and was disappointed to have to advance a few seconds more than anticipated. - Sakagami, isn't it time? Ryuuen was about to step off the podium and return to his seat when he hears his words: - That's how it is. Now we will do a second vote, you have 60 seconds to cast your vote. After everyone had voted a second time, the results were immediately displayed on the monitor: Result of the 2nd vote: 10 votes in favor and 30 votes against Four of the 14 votes in favor of the motion were cast against. For most of those who did not want to be expelled, this was not generally a bad result. One or two more harsh words from Ryuuen would have further reduced the number of votes in favor; in the not too distant future there would be a unanimous vote against. However, Ryuuen was not happy with the result. - Is this the answer you are thinking of? I do not believe it. - Is it because the number of votes in favor of the motion is lower? Kaneda asks while adjusting the position of his glasses, but Ryuuen immediately denied it. - Does that mean Ryuuen-kun is voting up? He also denied this point and laughed once with a snort as if amazed. - No, I don't know what is bothering you, Ryuuen-san.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - Did they really reflect your intention in the vote the first time and the second time? Only this last motion is clearly different and out of the ordinary. So I want to know your "true intentions, don't worry about which side you voted on, just make an honest choice based on your emotions. With that, Ryuuen got up from his seat and began to walk slowly around the classroom. - You have ten minutes to discuss this thoroughly. Do you want to vote for or against? When instructed to do so, students are forced to debate desperately, surrounded by conflict, they start talking about what they want. Ryuen listens to the story and occasionally brings his mouth to the ear of a student and whispers to them, it did not seem that his choice of students followed any pattern, like Nishino Yoshimoto and Nomura, then when Suzuki approached, he spoke in a similar way, in a whisper : - You are free to agree or not. Vote as you like. Furthermore, this time he also takes a look at Tokitouu, who sits two seats behind Suzuki. They wondered why he had bothered to listen, but they continued the discussion for as long as time was allowed. Results of the third vote: 9 votes in favor and 31 votes against. A result similar to that of the second vote was shown on the monitor. He sits on the podium and decides to express his thoughts in the third interval. - Raise your hand those who have voted in favor. In response to the result, once again, Ryuuen casts a vote by show of hands. Only two people, Nishino and Kaneda, raised their hands, the remaining seven kept their existence a secret and refused to introduce themselves. Ishizaki was upset by the secret votes in favor, but Ryuuen was not worried and addresses the two:

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - I see you voted up all three times, Kaneda, why? - It's about winning. It is never good for a student to be expelled, but it is more important to get 100 class points. - Has it ever occurred to you that raising your hand would make you a candidate for expulsion? - It's a silly question, right, Ryuuen-kun? You can remove people you don't need, but you won't remove people you do need. At least in this class, my score is not 100 points. He put its value on a scale and decided that there was no danger of it being eliminated. - Well, it's true, you have many uses except your appearance. - Thanks. He nodded in satisfaction, ignoring comments about his appearance. - Are you the same as Kaneda, Nishino? - Ah? No way. He just agreed on a quick way to get more class points. The only reason I've raised my hand is because I don't want to be hiding. There is nothing wrong with being in favor. She spoke in a way that would make Ryuyen stare at her if she wasn't careful, it made Ishizaki more nervous than the person himself. - It is time for me to tell you what has troubled you. It's about what I voted for. - Oh please say it! They can't start until I know the politics of this class, that is, what Ryuuen voted for. Ishizaki raises his voice to the public and hopes for the best. - I have voted in favor of this motion three out of three times. This means that, of the current vote, 3 of the 9 votes in favor were cast by Ryuuen, Nishino, and Kaneda. - So are you saying that someone is going to get kicked out of class? At Ishizaki's question, Ryuuen just smiled and laughed disturbingly.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - I just said how my vote went. Don't be too quick to judge, I just told them what the votes I cast were like. I have decided that it is you who should think about this matter and what you want to do about it. - Oh us? - Indeed, I have voted yes all three times without hesitation. If you've voted in favor all three times, it's sure the policy is to expel a classmate from school, but you don't recognize it, and Ishizaki is speechless. - The reason I agree is simple: you get 100 points for reducing one person. In other words, this is a great option to get rid of an unnecessary person and get class points for it. In other words, it is the best of both worlds. But on three occasions, the vote remained more against than in favor. In other words, more than half the class voted "against" the motion. Then I will respect it and consolidate the vote against. " The policy is to waive class points and keep classmates. - It is already decided! You will not vote in favor, you will vote against. It's Ryuuen-san's instructions! Ishizaki is relieved that the policy is easy to understand and appeals to his peers. - Wait a minute. It is not like you. Ibuki who had been bored throughout the special exam so far made an unsatisfied voice. - what do you mean? - You're in favor, right? So why don't you push like always? Now are you going to play nice and say that you are protecting your teammates? This implies that Ryuuen would go to get the class points that are in front of him. - What, were you in favor too? - I have voted against. But what I did is none of your business. - If there had been no anonymity, I would have felt free to cast a unanimous vote in favor. It would have been quicker to expel anyone

who disagreed with me. But unfortunately this time the test is anonymous. As we cannot be sure who voted in which way, it is faster to unify a majority against. So you say you don't trust getting a unanimous vote in favor? Kuku, you are free to think what you want. Hey, don't say unnecessary things, Ibuki. If Ryuuen-san says to vote against, why not? It doesn't matter if you lose class points, you're still safe. It's nothing, I just thought it was a little out of place; do what you want.

Now that the policy has been decided, this interval will also be marked by a high proportion of silence. And in the fourth vote the result is: 7 votes in favor and 33 votes against. The vote, which was expected to be almost unanimous but not entirely unanimous, surprisingly, had a large number of votes in favor. Only two votes were lost. - Kaneda, Nishino, what did you guys put on? - Clearly per Ryuuen-kun's instructions, against. - I am in favor, but I opposed because I do not want to disturb the peace. The two members who had raised their hands in favor of the motion voted to oppose and, considering that Ryuuen had voted against in the current vote, it would have to be reduced by at least three more votes in favor for it to pass. Furthermore, this time the voting was not free, but forced, with instructions from Ryuuen to vote against. Despite this, there were seven votes in favor. The possibility cannot be ruled out that the number of those in favor has increased, or that Kaneda and Nishino are lying. Ryuuen himself launched a 100% vote against it, but there was no way to confirm whether it was true or not and new anxieties began to spread little by little. - Who is still voting in favor? Ryuuen's orders is to vote "against". Despite the clear instructions, Ishizaki could not calm down as seven students did not follow them. If Ryuuen changed his mind in favor, there would be an expulsion.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - Kuku, don't yell like that, Ishizaki. It has gotten a lot more interesting, right? This is total anonymity, which means that your vote will not be revealed to anyone. That means that there are not a few who actually vote "in favor." - But it's a problem if you don't follow Ryuuen-san's instructions! - Not really. There is nothing wrong with trying to get class points by expelling a classmate. In fact, there are seven students who have the desire to try to get to class A, right? As if rejoicing in the situation, Ryuuen clapped his hands in joy. - But if a person is allowed to be expelled, there is always the question of who to expel. I am sure that the seven who have voted in favor have a clear idea of who they have to expel - D ... No way! Are you referring to someone like me !? Ishizaki begins to panic, wondering if he is the target of the expulsion. - Well, I can't rule out the possibility that there are people who think you're unnecessary. He is the type of person who wants "me" to drop out of school, and not someone else. Who is brave enough to stand up? Ryuuen gives a provocation saying that, however, the air is silent again and, as expected, there are no students speaking out. - Ha, well, it's not easy for them to spit, is it? Kuku, I'll take my time. Thus comes the fifth vote, this means that they have completed four intervals. Since the start of this motion, you have already spent about 40 minutes on the motion. And the result is: 8 votes in favor and 32 votes against. Contrary to Ryuuen, who intends to reduce the number of votes, the number of votes in favor increases by one - What are you going to do, Ryuuen-san? It's been almost an hour. At that moment, Nishino's voice sounded depressed and annoyed. - Don't be in such a hurry. We still have a lot of time, right?

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - Yes, but there are many people who vote against it. Isn't this a bad thing? The number of votes in favor clearly symbolizes Ryuuen's lack of control and dominance. - Yes, I guess so. It is not impossible that they are in favor. - Maybe… Returning what he said, Nishino, somewhat strange, looked him in the eyes and said firmly - Well, you can't prove anything unless they confess. The hardest test of all is to punish those who doubt. - I have a suggestion, okay? Yabu Nanabi, who had been observing the situation until now, throws a stone. - Say it. - How about we vote unanimously in favor and let the kids who don't mind getting kicked out get kicked out? - Am I correct in assuming that you voted for it? - No you are not. I have always been against it, but I am beginning to think that if voting against does not work, I could change my position. For example, how about expelling Ibuki? " Saying that, Yabu coldly looks at Ibuki. If he accepts here or replies that he can do whatever he wants, Ryuuen won't hesitate to move to expel Ibuki. This atmosphere prevails in the classroom. - If you mean Ibuki, then I agree with you. Of course, I've always voted against it, okay? Following Yabu's lead, Morofuji Rika also raises her hand in agreement. - We are going against it because Ryuuen-san has decided to go against it. - Wait a minute. The opinions of the two are fine with me. - Oh really?

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - The fact that they are so against suggests that it is true. If we do not get at least two votes absolutely in favor in the next vote, there will be a controversy. They won't be that stupid, will they? Both Yabu and Moroto nodded vigorously in response to the question. Of course, the possibility that the eight anonymous voters who voted in favor of the proposal cannot be denied in the next round, but Ryuuen understands that this is a different matter. - He was even willing to give a name if it was in favor. Unlike the eight anonymous. And from the looks of it, everyone except Yabu and Morofuji seem to want to follow the idea. The girl group that is close to Yabu is in the upper caste of the class. Apparently it is the opinion of two people, but in reality it could be taken as the opinion of the whole group. - Can you tell us what Ryuuen-kun thinks after hearing our idea? - To expel someone, it is essential that there are no votes to support him. Is there someone in this class who would risk their own expulsion to protect Ibuki? So he asked the class. But no one immediately raised their hand. - It seems to me that this is the case, but Ibuki. Do you accept being kicked out honestly? - Sorry, but I won't give up. Ibuki responds without looking at Yabu or Morofuji, who had been pointed out to him. - Hey? Didn't Ibuki say that she didn't mind being expelled from school? - I don't care about school, but there are people I want to take revenge on in my own way. And do you really think I'm going to accept this form of expulsion? I don't want to be taken advantage of to line the pockets of people I don't like. - You don't want to drop out of school for any reason. Just try to be clear, are you scared after all?

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Yabu laughs provocatively. - Ha! You have grown, right? You used to be Manabe's lackey. Are you so glad to be the leader of the girls now that she's gone? Ryuuen's smile disappears and his eyes turn intimidating and he says: - Hey, Ibuki. Now you should know where your place is. There are some friends of Yabu who would object to her dropping out of school, but you don't have one, you know, you've never had any kind of attachment to school, right? - And that? - I don't hate you, but if you want to gracefully drop out and contribute to the class, that's another story. Regardless of your intentions, we will eat your flesh and blood. - That's not good, Ibuki-san. You are the only one who thought that Ryuuen-kun loved you. - Do you hate me, Ibuki? - Not really. I never had the slightest intention of being your friend. You would do anything to win. I'm not surprised. But I will not give up. He repeated his refusal, but Ryuuen's tone was also a bit harsher. - I don't care if you intend or not. Then I'll ask again. Now we are going to raise the question of whether we should vote unanimously in favor or not; Raise your hands if you're willing to risk your life for Ibuki, but you have a minute to decide. In the cold air, Ishizaki trembles weakly, it was not the time to be afraid of Ryuuen, it was time to make up his mind. - Don't do it, Ishizaki. It was Nishino, who had been with Ishizaki for a while, who stopped him. - Nishino? - We are fighting to win. Your half-hearted companionship will only create confusion. - But but. Ibuki is also ours ... - Time is over.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year A minute passed and not a single student came forward to say that he would protect Ibuki in the end. Yabu's mocking gaze, the students' looks of compassion and relief at not being the target. All kinds of thoughts crossed in the silence. - Oh that, then ... Ibuki was about to reply half desperately, but she interrupted herself. He understood that he was at a disadvantage in this motion as he did not have a single worthy friend, so he told people from the beginning that he had voted against it, but now that it had happened, he had no choice but to protect himself. -

So what? I still have unfinished business with this school. Ah? Sorry, but I won't live up to your expectations. Even if the whole class votes in favor, I will continue to vote against. If we do not reach unanimous agreement for some time, we will fail this special

examination. - Hey? Are you going to take the class with you? - That's what I mean. Determined, Ibuki declares against it and stays. - Well of course it is. Yabu, your opinion of switching to favor was not bad. But you were too quick to give names If you really wanted to get rid of Ibuki, you should have gotten a unanimous vote in favor first and then say his name. - Got damn...! If she knew she was going to be expelled, she would not have voted yes. - They will have to vote against. When Ryuuen gave this instruction, Nishino had a strange feeling of discomfort. - Why did you do the charade you just did? Wasn't it a complete waste of time?

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Nishino points out that Yabu and Ibuki could have stopped arguing earlier, and that it was not necessary to raise their hand senselessly, as it was clear that unanimity in favor of the motion would have been difficult to achieve once the names of the people had been mentioned. - It was just a way to pass the time. Anyway, I have a lot of free time. Some of the students in the class knew there was more to it than that, although Ryuuen said there was no deeper meaning. It is their understanding that the reason he went ahead with Yabu's proposal, which was never going to be approved, was so Ibuki would say that he would never vote in favor. The aim is to indirectly make known the fact that unanimity in favor is difficult to achieve. It seemed like a smart move on Ryuuen's part, but it also seemed like a desperate move, born out of his impatience to get out of this situation. In the sixth ballot, there were 7 votes in favor and 33 against; in the seventh vote there were 6 votes in favor and 34 against. It seemed that the number of votes in favor of the motion was decreasing little by little, but in the eighth vote it was again seven in favor and 33 against. And finally it was time for the ninth vote. Result of the ninth ballot: 7 votes in favor and 33 votes against. There were still votes in favor. This is a figure that shows Ryuuen's leadership at this time. From the sixth to the ninth ballot, Ryuuen only sat on the podium for 10 minutes and did not say a word. He kept watching with a creepy smile, however, this situation changed in the interval before the start of the tenth round of voting. - Hey! Ryuuen, who had been laughing until now, suddenly turned towards the class and yelled in a low voice. The students who had been having a conversation more like a talk than an argument hurriedly straightened up.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - You, if I don't tell you what to do, you can't vote against even once, right? All the students fell silent at the obvious change. - You think you shouldn't be scared after a certain amount of consensus, but if you think I'm watching the vote in vain, you're wrong. Result of the tenth ballot: 6 votes in favor and 34 votes against. With Ryuuen's strong words, a vote in favor went against, however, since the number of votes in favor 6 had already been reached in the seventh vote, it can be said that the effect of the scare and the threat did not work. much. The time they thought they had was being used as hot water, when they realized it, Ryuuen's smile disappeared and turned into a stern look. - They are very tenacious guys. I'm getting tired of dealing with them. Results of the eleventh vote: 7 votes in favor and 33 votes against. The number of votes in favor of the motion, which had been reduced at the last minute, returned to seven. - At this rate, how are you going to get them to go the other way? Nishino, no longer trying to hide his frustration, asks Ryuuen about his politics. - Well. Let's get this over with - How can you do that? - Do you think I've been watching them here at all? You realize that from the sixth to the tenth time there is someone who changed their vote, right? I mean the big idiot who flies for and against. I'll tell you whose it is. Tension runs in the classroom; total anonymity is usually impossible to detect. Nevertheless - It's you, Yajima, right? - Hey?? No I do not! The name was Yajima Mariko. He hastily got up to deny it, but he was clearly upset and his demeanor was restless.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - Don't you expect me to believe you just because you're denying it and because it's totally anonymous? If that's what you think of me, then you're definitely the one to blame. Understand what I say? - I'm not! - If I say that he is the culprit, he is the culprit. And when I say he is innocent, he is innocent. I will give you a chance to be the first. From now on you do not have the right to vote in favor without my permission. Do you get it? If I find that you do not comply, you will be permanently expelled. It is a threat that cannot be denied. Even if he kept voting against this task and failed the special exam, he would be expelled by some heinous means in the not too distant future. It didn't take him long to imagine this. - I have an idea who is going to vote for it, but not everyone. We will see if they are as stupid as Yajima and we have to tell them directly. Then came the twelfth vote. Result of the vote: 5 votes in favor and 35 votes against. Yajima decided to completely oppose, so there was no increase in favor, however, by reaching the final warning, only two votes went against and five were left in favor. It was clear to his colleagues that the five votes was no longer valid for threats of any kind. - 5 people… After muttering that and confirming the remaining time, Ryuuen stands up again. - I have to admit they have guts, but I'm still not happy with it. If you're not going to give up, then show up. What these five anonymous ones want is to expel me. Then we would have to take it to a unanimous vote in favor. How boring would it be to run the clock and end the show? Well move on. Only then can we compete on equal terms. The unanimous vote of either party is required to pass this special test.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Unless you can identify the students who want to agree with you, you will only spend endless hours thinking about it, it was thought that no one would come forward in favor of the motion in this situation, but ... - Oh that's good, Ryuuen. Then I will introduce myself, I am in favor. Finally, one of the anonymous people who had voted in favor of the motion stood up. - Timing is of the essence, motherfucker! You don't know what you're talking about! In such a way Ishizaki, who was angry, faced him, but Katsuragi grabbed his arm and stopped him. - Calm down Ishizaki, we are in the middle of a special exam. Are you going to cause violence here? If you do something improper enough, Sakagami Sensei will mercilessly cancel the exam, won't he? - Of course, then this special exam will end with your disqualification. - Got damn…! - And even if Tokitou has been introduced, there are still no guarantees that it is true. Even if you are 99% sure of something, there is no way to get it 100% while you are anonymous; it is difficult to erase the line that they pretend to be in favor of the motion while voting against it. - It's true. I've been waiting for a special exam like this. It is not a normal special exam, but at the time this motion came up I thought that this is the opportunity I have to get rid of Ryuuen. - Why have you introduced yourself now, Tokitou? - Because I've been watching Ryuuen. The guess I make is that I am in favor, I could have introduced myself earlier, but it was painful to see that the number of people in favor was not diminishing and that they were coming and going. - Very good, Tokitou. Your rebellious attitude is nothing new. In fact, I am frankly delighted that I was in favor. - How long can you keep it? You cannot afford that luxury.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - Ah! No matter how many times the vote is repeated, the up vote will never go away, this means that if we run out of time, our class will lose 300 points. I think it's safe to say that we will drop out of competition to get to class A. - I see. That is why you have rebelled here and why you have been so obedient in the previous motions. - That's how it is. You are the leader of this class. If we fail the special exam, it won't be my fault. You are in charge. First of all, we have had freedom of choice in this special examination. You didn't listen to people saying that I should fight the Ichinose class and forced to name Sakayanagi as an opponent. Of course, you can take responsibility when we lose, right? - It is to prove to the class that you are wrong. I am not trying to disturb the class. They just aren't happy that you're in charge. - But here has come the opportunity to expel someone in particular. So you have decided to bet on it. So what do you want the most for showing your rebellion? - If you want me or any of us to vote against, you have to stop being the class leader. If you swear in front of everyone, you will probably get more votes against. As much as he dislikes Ryuuen, Tokitou knows how difficult it is to get a unanimous vote in his favor. That is why he proposes a compromise. - Don't be shy about it, Tokitou. Don't you have the confidence to drive me out?

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - Can I ask you a question, Tokitou? While adjusting the position of the glasses, Kaneda raises his hand. - It is true that if the special exams are unsuccessful, part of the blame will be on the leader. But if the vote is unanimous in favor of expulsion, you will be expelled, right? In fact, many students continue to vote against, according to the instructions. Despite Kaneda calmly explaining what to expect, Tokitou is unfazed. - There is no point in voting against now. Don't tell me that you think everyone who voted against the motion is surrendering to Ryuuen? It is true that there are few people who can openly rebel, but, you know, now there are four more votes in favor besides mine. Although he repeatedly told us to vote against, there were still four votes left. That is why there is a strong group of people who want you to get out of school. - You seem to have a lot more common sense than Yabu and Morofuji, Tokitou. After a round of applause and admiration, he continued. - So don't be shy. Why don't you and me face off? Tokitou - That? - I will make sure that the 35 votes, including mine, that are still against the motion, are cast in favor of it. Then, as Kaneda said, they will start voting who to kick out. Then the rest is easy, you and I will have an electoral showdown. If other students are not eligible to be voted, there should be no fear of unanimity in favor. - Are you sure? If you eliminate the other option, you will inevitably be expelled from school. There is no way you can survive, Ryuuen. The possibility of unanimity against was left to Tokitou. - We don't want to run out of time. Then it will be a unanimous vote between you and me. Wouldn't it be more interesting to the rest of the class?

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Unwilling to accept Tokitou's proposal, Ryuuen urges a unanimous vote in favor. - Human beings are selfish. I would not like to introduce myself if there is a risk of dropping out of school, therefore if you or I were expelled we would change the way we see things. I'm sure they'd be happy to vote if we promise them 100 class points. - Do you think those who vote in favor will agree to expel me? - Well I do not know. If you think that doesn't smell good, you can vote against it, okay? - Fuck off! You're the one who's going to get kicked out, not me! - Well. So, let's go ahead and decide who is going to win. There were four votes that were kept anonymous, and the students having no choice but to vote against Ryuuen despite their dislike for him. - Very good, if you insist ... Just as Tokitou was about to accept the challenge, a knock resounds from a desk. - Wait a minute, Ryuuen. Can you give me a little time? The owner of the sound was Katsuragi. He hurriedly got up and called for Ryuuen. - That? What do you think you are doing, Katsuragi? I don't remember giving you the right to speak on this, do I? - I do not feel deprived of my right to speak. When instructed to be quiet, Katsuragi replied unfazed and turned to Tokitou. - As you say, it is not bad to think that as long as the number of people who do not follow Ryuuen does not reach zero, it will be fine. But what Ryuuen says is also true. If a decisive vote is taken, with the limit that one of the two, either Ryuuen or Tokitou, is expelled from the school, with the time remaining, the emotions of the students will suffer. So whoever can control the majority of the votes, that is, Ryuuen, will have a huge advantage.

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - I already told you. Don't assume he has an advantage just for that, Katsuragi. The truth is that many of the class do not look favorably on Ryuuen. As time runs out, there will be more and more people who will stop defending him, even if he is Ishizaki's dog. - What the hell did you say? - You once fought Ryuuen. Remember that rebellious spirit! - Oh that's ... Last year, during the rooftop incident, Ishizaki once defeated Ryuuen and temporarily took control of the class when the Ayanokouji feud came to an end. That is what was mentioned. - I don't know what happened then, but do you think you will win in the end? - Oh yeah. - If so, let me ask you a question. If Ryuuen leaves school, who will be in charge of this class afterwards? - You can argue about it or whatever you want, but you will not be Katsuragi, you are an outsider. - Admittedly, as an outsider, you may not have a choice. But it is also true that if we do not have a defined next leader, we could not make a decision. We won't be able to catch up with Sakayanagi and get over her. Katsuragi keeps trying to persuade him to see the big picture of the situation, but Tokitou doesn't stop. - Shut up so what? If I wasn't prepared to stab this guy in the back from the start, I wouldn't have introduced myself in the first place. - Kuku, from the beginning? It seems like you've been waiting for a while. - Shut! - Well, I can't help it if I don't have some people who think the same with me. Only when it could be confirmed that there were several votes not following Ryuuen did Tokitou make his move. - Please, Ryuuen. Give Tokitou a chance.

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year In response to Katsuragi's words, which he only sees as Ryuuen's advantage, he snaps his fingers once. - Very well. Tokitou, I'll give you a chance. The next vote depends entirely on your vote. If you vote in favor, you will be expelled. - You ... You have a lot of courage. Do you think you can kick me out? - Yes. In the next vote, all the votes, except yours, will be against. So we have a situation of 1 in favor and 39 against. In other words, if you vote against, we will complete this motion unanimously. - When have the four votes in favor disappeared except mine? - Kuku, we have flipped those four votes during this interval. - I do not see that it is possible, let's check it. In addition to stubbornly staying in favor for the longest time of the interval, Ryuuen had spent most of his time talking to Tokitou. There was no pretense of turning it around. - If so, let's give it a try. Put it in favor, as before, and you will know the answer. There was less than a minute left in the interval. Although the air-conditioned room was kept at a comfortable temperature, Tokitou's back began to sweat. A mere threat, a deception. He did not believe that anything had changed in this interval. But what if the votes in favor actually turned against, except yours? This indicated that the non-Tokitou students had joined Ryuuen. He could take the same defensive measure as Ibuki by showing up to vote against the motion before it passes unanimously, as it would have been embarrassing. If this happens, it would be decisive for Tokitou himself to be defeated. - You're ready to quit, right? Feel free to vote in favor. - I don't need you to tell me. The time to vote will come soon. Tokitou recklessly casts his vote in favor. - Then I'll show you the results of the vote. It was shown on the monitor at the same time as Sakagami announced it Results of the thirteenth vote: 2 votes in favor and 38 votes against.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - Tsu! Tokitou's heart must have accelerated faster than anyone's upon seeing this result, this is because, as Ryuuen said, all the remaining votes except one were against. - Well, it's true ... You gave me a good scare. But that means there is another student with as much willpower as me. The one who didn't give in when threatened to this point! He yells and roars as if he wants to declare himself the winner, but instead of looking at Tokitou, Ryuuen was looking at another student. - What are you planning? You voted in favor, right? Katsuragi. - That? Tokitou is shocked when they tell him the name of someone he didn't expect. - That's how it is. If I had voted against, as you stated, there would have been one vote in favor and 39 against, and it would have gone to a decisive vote. If that happens, it will be impossible to pass this exam if it is not by expelling one of us. - This is how it was supposed to be. Depending on your answer, a world of pain awaits you. - There is a reason. You think Tokitou is a necessary student for the class. No, not just Tokitou. I am an outsider who came here from class A. That is why I have looked at this class with an objective look. In this way, it became very clear to me that there were no unnecessary students. - Do you think that a person who does not follow the instructions is a necessary student? - That's how it is. Rather, I would consider it a valuable asset. He is the one who can disagree with you without hesitation, just like me, or even more than me. Of course, the way you did this special test is wrong. I just don't like the way he's putting the class at risk to bring down Ryuuen. Katsuragi throws his gaze and words not only at Ryuuen but also at Tokitou.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - If you don't like Ryuuen being the leader, make a fair appeal to him in a way that doesn't involve anyone else. If you're right, I'll take your side without hesitation. - Katsuragi, you unhappy! - If you fall for Ryuuen's strategy here and drop out of school, you will end up doing nothing. It means that the existence of a student named Hiroya Tokitou will never be remembered by Ryuuen again. - But just before the vote, four of my colleagues ... The invisible reinforcements that had pushed Tokitou to this point. It was also a source of comfort. - There is no such thing. It was just an illusion. - Illusion, you mean what? - To be more precise, they were eliminated in repeated votes. There were five votes in favor of the motion, which were upheld after Yajima was appointed. Those who kept voting in favor were Tokitou and them. Katsuragi slowly moves his gaze and aims at them. - Shiina, Yamada, Ryuuen and I were the four of us. In response, Tokitou and none of his companions could understand. - That? Are you saying that Ryuuen had been voting up? - When the vote was five in favor, there was only one person left who was voting anonymously. But now that you had introduced yourself, it all came to light. - So, during this interval, Ryuuen was teasing on the inside. - No, it is not. It is true that the objective was to expel those who were in favor, but that was already done when you showed up. You could have voted for him without bothering to try to win him. Thus, the vote would naturally be unanimous in your favor and the next vote would be to expel you. He could have gone to the polls without bothering to fight. Because then, naturally, it will be unanimous in favor and we would simply expel you in the next vote. - So you've been playing your word game to humiliate me and make me feel better - No, it is not. I was giving you a chance not to get expelled.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - And me? - But no matter how much I tell you, if you don't listen to me, it's over. It will take time, but please give Tokitou one last chance. I would like to bring you all together one more time with a vote against before you all vote in favor. - Do you want me to give it another chance? I'm not that generous, am I? - You are also to blame. You were too provocative and this caused his salvation to be lost. Now that everything has come to light, you've finally given Tokitou a choice. - And if I ignore you, you will not oppose his expulsion, will you? - I will have no objection. You can do what you want. Katsuragi closed her eyes and crossed her arms. Tokitou left it to himself to decide what to do with him: If he votes in favor, he will be expelled for sure, on the other hand, if he votes against, it will be unanimously and will avoid expulsion, however, voting against means succumbing to Ryuuen's any way. It would be a severe blow to Tokitou's pride. - We will then begin the 60 second voting period. With Sakagami's words, the countdown begins. Thirty-nine people, excluding Tokitou, have finished voting within the time limit, but the count was not yet finished. Sakagami looked up once and looked at Tokitou: - As explained above, after 60 seconds, the penalty time accumulates. Tokitou turns his head and looks at the words Support and Oppose on his tablet. - Dammit! dammit! It was supposed to be a full-fledged fight. But halfway through, he found himself alone. He was dancing in the palm of Ryuuen's hand. Frustration, shame, compassion; a lot of negative emotions surrounded him and he couldn't let them go. The pride of not giving in to Ryuuen in such a situation can be seen on his face.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Give in gracefully. No, or you can deliberately keep casting an up vote to buy some time - if you keep voting against 39 people, you could cause this motion to fail. Not leaving school on his own, and failing the special exam, the thought crossed his mind and he shook his head from side to side. There is nothing to be gained by doing something like that to compete with Ryuuen, it would cause a lot of trouble for your companions and is even more annoying than Ryuuen. That is not what Tokitou wants. - Dammit! With an exaggerated wave of his arm, Tokitou touches the vote button. - All votes have been cast. Now I will announce the results. Sakagami took a deep breath, activated her tablet, and displayed the results on the monitor. Result of the fourteenth vote: 0 votes in favor and 40 votes against. - As the vote is unanimous, the motion is rejected. This concludes the special exam. It was thought that there was a high possibility that some student would be expelled from the school, but it was confirmed that all the students in Ryuuen's class would remain. - Tokitou, you! - Ishizaki turns and talks to Tokitou, who has his eyes downcast. - Don't get me wrong, Ryuuen, I don't approve of your methods. If I verify that you have done something to prevent our class from moving up to Class A, I will eliminate you as quickly as I can. - Come to me whenever you want. I will face you without mercy. It was difficult for him to stay here, so he quickly left the classroom. After witnessing this, Katsuragi approaches Ryuuen: - That was unnecessary, Katsuragi. I was welcoming those who would drop out of school, remember?

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - I'd say half the time yes, but the other half you were exploring the possibility that it wasn't, right? - Do I seem so generous to you? - I don't know if you are being generous, but if the goal was to control the vote completely, it is important to have loyal students in your ranks who go the extra mile. However, after the second vote, while talking to the right students, you gave instructions to Shiina. If you only talk to certain students, they will probably think that you are planning some kind of strategy. And through Shiina, he gathered friends who falsely voted in favor of the motion in repeated ballots. And I was one of them. The reason is, you knew I would protect him at the time, didn't you? - What would you protect Tokitou? Where did you get that information from? - Shiina heard Tokitou and me talking about you. I wouldn't be surprised if I told you about it and you know it. - He was just looking for the guy who got carried away with the false up votes in search of looking for the one who was voting up, of course he wanted to kick him out so he could get extra class points. It is a pity. After Ryuuen left the classroom, Katsuragi turned to look into the eyes that were watching them, seeing Shiina's soft smile, he was sincerely impressed. - So it's possible that it was Shiina's own decision that attracted me. But, either way, it doesn't change the fact that Ryuuen prepared the ropes to help Tokitou, and gave him a chance. Katsuragi is convinced that the classmates were relieved that no one was expelled from the school. This is the class that has the potential to beat Sakayanagi and become Class A.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Chapter 6 - Sakayanagi Arisu's Decision It has been a little over an hour since the special exam began. Class A, led by Sakayanagi, proceeded smoothly with various voting and breaks. And the last challenge to achieve: In exchange for losing a classmate, you earn 100 class points, if the approval is unanimous, the student who will be expelled will be voted. While they are surprised by the word "expelled", the first vote is done in silence according to the rules. To avoid an unexpected accident, Sakayanagi, like Horikita, had instructed, in advance, four companions close to her to ensure that the votes were divided. As there are two options, the result of the first vote was: 2 votes in favor, 36 votes against. With the exception of the two votes controlled in favor, the results of all the students who expressed their opposition were reflected. - Well that's what happens. What do you say, princess? Can we vote against in the next vote? Hashimoto, who was in charge of proposing the first option and who would have voted in favor of the motion, confirmed it immediately after the interval. - What do you think, Hashimoto-kun? Hashimoto was a bit surprised, not expecting him to ask him to answer the question and thought the challenge back in his mind. - If it is a nonstop conclusion, I am against it. But if you think about it, 100 class points is way more than you think. - So you say I should go for 100 points even if it means expelling one of my teammates? - No, I wouldn't dare say that. It's just that I'm not sure we should take it lightly. - If this were the end of the competition and of school life, I would have been forced to make a policy of cutting friends. But now the class works

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year by itself. It would be quite absurd to choose to drop a student to get 100 class points. - Of course, but I don't want to have to regret those 100 points in the future, okay? - Reducing the number of people is also a disadvantage. It would simply reduce the total number of private points earned each month, causing a loss of morale and mistrust in the class. An interesting move is to challenge students to drop out of school and collect 20 million private points to save them. There is also the option to earn class points without sacrificing any students, but the points will have an impact on upcoming sports and cultural festivals. Although we are talking about a difference of 100 points, I think that, if you take into account the invisible factors, the difference between this challenge and the loss is not that great, no matter how you look at it. Or is there someone in this class who has volunteered to drop out of school? Saying this, Sakayanagi looks around the class once. Of course, as Sakayanagi says, they are in class A, which works by itself. It is impossible for any student to volunteer to drop out of school. - The other 3 classes will struggle, and when tough decisions are made to select dropouts, the classes don't necessarily grow. Losing a partner is not as easy as it sounds. With that single statement, Class A policy is established. If Class A had chosen to expel a student, it would have been unanimously and without any sense of dismay. Then the student selected by Sakayanagi would drop out of school. - You and your classmates are different from Katsuragi-kun and Totsukakun who have left. I will not eliminate my colleagues who work for me. It was a lie from Sakayanagi. In the unlikely event that Class A were doomed to disaster, Sakayanagi would not hesitate to choose to expel his companions. However, if you choose to expel a student when the situation is not critical, it will create a sense of mistrust. He simply decided that he had the most to lose if he put himself in that situation now.

This class has the fastest time to complete the special exams. All other classes are still in the middle of the special exam so they must leave the classroom according to the teacher's instructions.

It's a scene we've all seen before, just repeating itself. Asking them to introduce themselves will not change that. Doesn't change even after repeated discussions The number of votes in favor does not increase, but it does not decrease either. The results make one wonder if there really isn't a fair vote, but the same screen is shown over and over again. − As there was no unanimity, the interval will begin now. Even Chabashira, who was announcing the usual phrases, showed signs of fatigue. Now that you have told us about your past, the only thing you can do is watch this matter unfold as a teacher. - Why is this happening …… Is there really someone who votes in favor? It's not hard to understand why Keisei would want to ask that question. By now, the debate is over in all its forms, even if we continue to argue. How many times did Horikita and Yosuke try to persuade him? - The people who voted against, please raise your hand ...... If calling those in favor of the motion is futile, Yosuke asks the students who are against the motion to raise their hands. He's determined to find a way, even if he has to come up with pointless reverse patterns. One hand, either the left or the right, stretched upward in a thin line. Of course I raise my hand too. It follows that 38 people, including Yosuke, voted against without hesitation. The only one who didn't raise his hand was Kouenji.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - I'm not going to raise my hand, but don't worry, I'm voting against it. Kouenji replied to Yosuke, who looked at him anxiously. - Can I believe you Kouenji? Actually, I think it's you who has been voting up. -How many times have you done this? You never get tired of arguing about it. Sudo thought it didn't matter, there was no other way than to sniff Kouenji. It is not hard to believe that there are people of this class who continue to lie in this situation "I don't want to think that any of the people who just raised their hands are lying. But now I'm going to ask them again, this time looking each of you directly in the eye." If someone votes in favor, please tell me honestly: ...... No, I want you to vote against in the next vote 10 minutes of continuous foot scratching. Horikita takes the time and effort to work with each person. I'm sure she's just as tired as the rest of us, but she can't say that.} Haruka, Akito, Keisei, Kei, Airi, Ike, Mi-chan, Matsushita, also Kushida, Okitani, Mori. They all respond by looking directly into Horikita's eyes. 'I am voting against'; is what they said. Horikita had finally reached the end of the line, the last of the class. His eyes were a mixture of impatience and anxiety, but they were still on fire. - What about you, Ayanokoiji-kun? - Of course I have been voting against it. - ……Yes This means that, once again, we have completed an interrogation of each of them. There has been no change in the statement that all colleagues vote against. The only thing left to do is to turn to the remorse of your conscience that you have left and get them to vote against it.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - It's 10 minutes. Go back to your seat, Horikita, and start voting. Everything that could be done was done, and now is the time to vote again. The answer: Results of the 11th .º vote 1 vote in favor and 38 votes against The result is the same. There are no more words to add. Only the same, and same, and same results are displayed. - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm going crazy, man! I do not understand! Scratching his head messily, Sudo slams his elbow on the desk. - Hey, hey, but what are we really going to do? We're running out of time, right? Until now, students were convinced that even those who persisted in favor would eventually back down. Horikita and the rest of the class knew that they couldn't choose to run out of time. Absolutely, almost, and probably, maybe the up vote down vote for fear of running out of time. And just in time, but unanimously against, they will pass the special exam. You must have been imagining such a panorama, moving towards the next sports and cultural festival. But ─── The vote in favor does not move. Waiting another 10 minutes, 30 minutes, or an hour will not change the answer. The only thing that awaits us is the worst possible route and that is 'running out of time'.

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year There are nine minutes until the next vote. These nine minutes are no longer just nine minutes. After this point, we would be below the two-hour period. For the past three hours, Horikita has been struggling to get past this final motion. Not that Horikita's strategy was naive. Even if he had done everything possible to get unanimity against it, it would have been "impossible". Why is that? What is the underlying motive? Persuasion, negotiation, and all kinds of actions are pointless. Proponents fight to avoid a vote or anime. What is most scary is that the person who voted in favor of the motion does not consider the lack of time to be the most negative. Normally, this would not be possible on this special exam. If we look at this question objectively, the priorities of the three options are fixed and determined. Disagree ≧ Agree ＞Timeout This is an absolute inequality that is common in all four classes and in all students. It is the solidification of this priority that makes special examinations possible, the basic premise, so to speak. But what happens when there is only one student with a different inequality sign? Agree> Timeout> Disagree If there is such a distorting and irreconcilable superiority, the motion becomes untenable. That is why the school has strict control and rules to avoid any intervention from other classes. To prevent them from signing contracts with people like

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Sakayanagi or Ryuuen, who will invite them to their classes if they run out of time, or give them large amounts of private points. The special exam gets chaotic and confusing when students who can't get it are scrambled. Even if he continues to be stubborn, you will only run out of time. So what should I do? There is only one thing I have to do in the remaining two hours. Unanimously in favor That is the best solution. There is no other way to pave the way than to make this happen. It's probably already in Horikita's head. But she is not ready to take the plunge. When it comes to kicking out classmates, it's not easy. It is more difficult to select and expel a person than to achieve unanimity by voting against. Once the first step is taken, there is no going back. This is because someone is not allowed to think, that it is not right to expel someone and vote against it again. But I was hesitant to carry out the plan even when it was time to vote. Why? The ideal route is being lost and the time needed to complete the plan is approaching. The extra time will make it difficult to unanimously in favor of the proposal and the subsequent selection of the one who will be expelled from the school. But even so, I would like to try once again to unanimously against it, even if it means wasting valuable time. A feeling of irrationality that I had never felt before came to my mind.

Result of the 12th .º vote 2 votes in favor and 37 votes against - Ugh, is it a lie? Why? There are more votes in favor! After a long time, one person turned in favor of the 38 people who were opposed so far. It would have had enough of an impact to crack the united opposition. -It seems to be a nightmare… .. This vote was cast by me. It is not about a single vote. And not just one. It was a strong vote in favor of the motion of one of the 37 people who were united, with the exception of Kouenji Horikita, who had an empty thought, thinks again. What should be done if the number of votes in favor cannot be zeroed? Horikita quickly understands that the vote that passed was to avoid running out of time. However this latest motion reaches unanimity, it is the worst option of all. That's right, time is running out. Even without expulsions, the class's points would be minus 300, assuming all other classes had passed, the difference would be 350, and if any class had passed the last assignment unanimously, the difference would be up to 450 points.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year With such a big difference between them, there is no guarantee that they will be able to catch up even if they have more than a year of school left. No, I would say it is useless. We avoided expulsions, but we also had to give up class A, that is not something that is funny. And once this idea becomes general, it is inevitable that people will begin to question the meaning of continuing to vote against. It would be easier to mobilize a united opposition than an immobile vote in favor. We can take a half step forward from the rigid status quo, even if the biggest obstacle lies ahead: who will be the next expelled? - Well, you know. We will have to vote in favor, right? - What are you talking about? If you do, someone will have to be expelled - But, you know, if time ...... runs out, we're all screwed, right ? The progressive evolution of the vote in favor. The first candidates to start the march are students who are confident that they will not 'be expelled'. A growing number of votes in favor internally. However, it is unlikely that a single student will come forward to say that they have voted in favor. Of course. If they find out you're in favor, they could kick you out. Only when the approval is unanimous will the next expelled be selected under equal conditions. Results 13 .º vote 5 votes in favor and 34 votes against Three votes in favor. Who has voted in favor? The voices were still loud, but that was it. 14 .º Result of the vote 12 votes in favor and 27 votes against. The ever-increasing approval flow doesn't stop, and the numbers keep growing.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Finally, for the first time, the vote in favor rose to double figures, almost a third. In the next round of voting there will be even more votes in favor. At this point, the remaining time limit is about an hour and a half. - Well, wait a minute. If you really think it is a good idea to lean in favor here, you are wrong! Unable to weather the crisis, Yosuke hopes the students will vote against it. - I understand that we have to avoid running out of time. But that doesn't mean that a unanimous vote in favor is the answer, does it? -Yes, ....... Later we will have to make a unanimous decision among the 39 possible people to choose her. That is even more difficult than having a unanimous vote against. There is only an hour and a half left. Do you realize that? To end this motion in favor of the school, we have to decide who will leave. - It's not too late. I think we should vote against it. - I agree with you. Do not get carried away . Companions who continue to be shaken by emotions. It was at the time when it was no longer possible to make a normal judgment on whether voting for was correct or voting against was also correct. - Above all, you know that you should not vote in favor, 12 people have voted in favor and none have shown their faces. It is not like this? Even if we repeat the vote and increase the number of votes in favor, we will not be able to achieve the ideal unanimity without a major intervention to force it. Originally I was going to propose that it be unanimous in the next vote, but I have decided to advance the free time and use it here and now. - Do you mind if I give my opinion? - Hey……? He was a bit surprised by my suggestion, as if Horikita hadn't expected it. -Horikita, I have now voted in favor in the fourteenth ballot.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year That is a lie. I have already voted in favor since the 12th vote. But no one can prove it. - Why Ayanokouji-kun ...? - If we continue to oppose, we will run out of time. There is no choice but to vote in favor. I think we all know. To increase the number of people in favor of the motion someone has to assume that role. From the seat next to me, Satou looks at me with some unease. No, it's not just Satou, it's anyone who's worried about this situation. - It is not a solution. In the end, there will be a dispute over who to kick out . - That's how it is. But we can get out of our rigid situation. Even if it is found out who voted in favor of the motion, I don't think they will vote against it. In other words, we cannot expect unanimity at the end. But now it is possible to achieve unanimity in favor. And take the culprit to trial judging him by the 38 people. It's a bit forced, but unanimity is possible There is a person in common between Horikita and me. Of course, there is no guarantee that it is that person, but you will know who I mean. - That's it - Judgment? Do you think we have the right to judge a student who only votes in favor? Yosuke argues by catching a word. - That's how it is. If we don't get a unanimous vote, we won't be able to go to class A. I don't think anyone thinks that the student who knows this and continues to vote in favor is completely innocent. - But, but that's… ..the closer we get to the end of the time limit, I'm sure it will do the opposite.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - Plus?. There are only a few more opportunities to vote. Do you want to involve all your colleagues in that scarce possibility? The fewer times we do it, the more the way out will be closed even if we vote in favor. That would completely nip unanimity in the bud. He didn't have to say it, but Yosuke and the classmates know it. But the biggest obstacle for many students is not taking the first step. - I am sure that there are many students who hesitate to vote in favor. So I want to identify the person who has been voting in favor and adjust our focus on him so that he is subject to expulsion. That means ensuring the safety of the students who were now voting against. Satou, who had listened to me more than anyone, raised a small hand. - I'm glad to hear it, but it's not good if you don't know who voted for it. In the end, when time is up, we will have to come up with random candidates for someone to be expelled. ...... I'm afraid.. - If we cannot reduce the list of who will be expelled, we can choose to run out of time again. The only thing to avoid now is staying here when there is a possibility of passing and not taking the steps to do so. To help students who are lost, we drop more items to make a decision - Horikita has mentioned a few things about it, I also have an idea of the person who has been voting for it. - So I should say it here and now. But Horikita hasn't said her name for a long time. Doesn't that mean you don't really know what you're talking about? I mean, he was bragging, he thought that if he threatened him, he would vote against it, right? Miyamoto's reasoning is not correct, but it is certainly not unreasonable to think so. - If you really have an idea, let's all try to convince him - I can't do that, that's why I'm doing this now. Mentioning that person's name will never cause a vote in favor. You will prefer to be stubborn and continue to the end. I'd rather avoid that. This is both a guide to voting for it and a pity of mine in the end.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Because if they have told you so much, surely you are aware that it is you who chooses. If you are afraid of being exposed, you may be the only one to vote against it in the next round. - Get ready, Horikita. The opponent is trying to take you away. There is no other way than to hunt or be hunted. Aside from the silent Horikita, I also look at another person. - Then Yosuke. I understand that you don't want anyone to drop out of class. If you really didn't want a student to drop out, you had to get the results before time ran out. You know what I mean? The day before the exam started, he had warned Yosuke about this. I could see from the side that it was difficult for him to stand up. I can't help but understand the desire to keep resisting - But I…. - The next vote will decide our fate - ...... Me ....... It is a difficult decision, however, Yosuke is not the same as before. - If you're right. That ...... it's not good to disappoint the whole class just because of my thoughts. ...... As he bows his head, he decides to move on his own initiative. - I will vote in favor. And as Ayanokouji said, I think we should organize to expel the one who votes in favor all the time. The decision of Yosuke, the heart of the class, had changed the situation even more. - Only you left, Horikita. It's time for you to make up your mind to avoid time running out. Time is running out before the next round of voting begins.

It didn't take everyone long to complete the vote in seconds. But things are sometimes very different between ideals and reality 15 .º result of the vote 1 vote in favor and 38 votes against -Dammit! It's still useless! It is a dangerous way of forcing the votes that had begun to flow in favor of the motion to turn against again. With the time limit looming, even that latest strategy to achieve unanimity was unsuccessful. But now we all get it. The student who continues to vote in favor is willing to run out of time. - Horikita, Yosuke, are you okay? He managed to confirm the determination of both people and clearly obtain their consent. In any case, the necessary preparations have been made for the fight to get an expelled student out. Now that the two main leads, Horikita and Yosuke, have made their intentions clear, many will vote in favor of the proposal. However, it is easy to imagine that students who are concerned about the possibility of being expelled will hesitate to vote in favor. Therefore, those who are willing to pass against must also be. - If the vote is still against in the next round, we need you to clearly state why, because we already know how painful it is to consume ten minutes of your time for one vote.

It is hard work, which forces students who do not have the ability to make decisions to do so. Now that we have come to this, ...... it will have to be chosen who will be expelled. - Are you serious? - I don't want to lose my teammates either. But if we don't expel someone here, the damage to the class will be enormous. I can't let that happen If you look at the class point count so far, the pain of losing 300 class points here is well known. Intervals are mandatory for 10 minutes.

With this result came a feeling of fear and anxiety among all. - Unanimously in favor…. Chabashira mutters as if she is ready for anything, and continues her advance. When you make this decision, the only path left is to expel someone from school or run out of time. Of course, it can be said that the latter means a defeat until graduation from this class. In other words, of the 39 people, some will be expelled in about an hour. Of course, I know who should be expelled. - Individuals can identify themselves either by standing as candidates, which is only allowed once, or by selecting a student's name on a tablet and casting a nominating vote.

A much more important and valuable interval than the one we have had so far. During the same 10 minutes, you are also asked to choose who you want to nominate. - The unanimity in favor of the proposal has been decided: ...... At least, I would like to make a policy to wait for confession in this interval. Depending on the circumstances and the case, we may choose to use up time to assist the student. Of course, this suggestion would not serve to stifle criticism. She would not have tolerated such a choice, losing class points. But Horikita remained and began to listen and endure the complaints. I'm going to keep quiet because I need to find the right moment. He goes through a dark and difficult time, with complaints directed at us, and each of us checking the others. Of course, it is not possible to select a specific ejection, and the interval time is getting closer. When you see your name on the monitor, you feel like your heart is grabbed. Especially when it comes to the first vote, unanimity due to momentum cannot be denied. - Sensei, you don't mind if I run for the election, do you? - Of course - So please vote for me. With that said, Yosuke introduced himself as the specific student just before time ran out.

Result of vote 17 .º 6 votes in favor and 32 votes against. The silence is such that the students can be heard gasping and exhaling. The sense of relief for the majority against the motion, and the invisible presence of the six who voted in favor, would normally haunt him for some time. However, Yosuke is probably more relieved that his candidacy has cleared the initial hurdle. - What are we going to do ......, are we really going to expel one of us from here ......? - Time is running out, let me ask you two. Who was the student who voted up all the time? Unable to wait, Keisei asks for an answer. - Of course I will give you the name of the student I have in mind. But I also think that things are not that simple. - Aren't they that simple? We no longer have a choice. Now that we have decided to expel someone, we have to find out who it is as soon as possible. There are still many students who regret and are distraught over having chosen the vote in favor. Surely they also feel the mental strain of having wasted 10 minutes of their life. That's why I want the culprit to think that choosing in favor was a mistake - In the next vote, if the weather continues like this, someone will be chosen at random ......?

It is not about academic or athletic ability, they are very trivial things. That shouldn't be enough to decide who should be kicked out. Kushida is even willing to cover up people who are in favor of the situation that caused it. - But, but ... So how will you decide who to kick out? - If so then. How about a raffle? - No, You can not. If someone gets expelled for that, ...... I'm sure not everyone will be happy.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - I… ..think that Horikita-san, who was the leader of this special exam… and Ayanokouji-kun who encouraged people to vote in favor, should take responsibility. I knew what would happen. Kushida's first move For Kushida, the expulsion of students like Ike and Sudou is of no benefit. The words are the intense desire of an anonymous who has voted unequivocally in favor of the motion - I feel so bad for mentioning their names that I almost hate myself. But we can't let time run out. Someone has to bear the weight of it. So I'm going to play the role of carrying the burden of being the culprit… .. Nobody wants to be expelled However, as long as someone has to be expelled, selection is inevitable. Just as those who downsize, those who condemn them to downsize endure the same suffering. This is a role that Kushida has taken on. It takes a lot of determination and a lot of reason to name names. With proper formulation, he made his colleagues know our name, which was the purpose of the meeting, without feeling like anonymous supporters. Kushida is much smarter than I expected. Normally, in the Kushida position, you could remain silent until the end and not get kicked out. She has many friends who trust her, and there are many students who would vote against it. However, Horikita and I already know that Kushida is the person who has voted anonymously. In the unlikely event that one of us raises our voice against her and causes Kushida to become a rumor mill, there could be unforeseen consequences. In that case, it is effective to take defensive action by hurting yourself to the extent that it is not fatal. By giving the names of Horikita and I, even if I make a statement disapproving of Kushida, it can be led to believe that this is due to resentment over the decision to reduce the number of students in the class. - Do not be silly!

Time was about to run out, so he limited himself to saying that it was going to be just as annoying and that he had to vote in favor . - Yes you're right. I know exactly what you mean, Karuizawa-san. I think it is a mistake to give names now, to be honest. ......, but we can't move forward if we don't - I will not vote for the expulsion of Kiyotaka! In that case, you know they would never expel him, right? - Wait a minute, Karuizawa. That's kinda selfish - Hey? Hondou-kun, you just promised that you will vote against Onizukakun, didn't you? Is the same. - U, b ... but I say that we should vote unanimously in favor. - It is very selfish. How can I avoid getting expelled if I don't declare my intentions? Time is running out and we won't be able to make it to class A? And that? Kiyotaka is the only thing that matters to me, Kiyotaka is everything to me, I don't care if I'm in class B or class D Kei has been unloading his anger mercilessly, but it's time to stop - Stop it, Kei. Kushida is right and what she says is correct. - Pe, but! This is where Kei stopped, staring at Kushida with a frustrated and annoyed look. - If you get carried away by your emotions and keep arguing, the person who should be responsible for what Kushida said will be forgotten, and the focus of attention will shift away from me and Horikita. You already know that. - ……Yes…… If he had lost his composure, he would have been even more aggressive, but it wasn't going to happen. If I give him a strong enough command, he will be able to control himself. As a result, it is not bad for my classmates to speak for what they think of the matter.

The culprit is the bastard who sits doing nothing and doesn't show his face. Do you think you can go up to Class A without Suzune in the future? . You have convinced them that they can trust her and gave her points of protection. truth? Yukimura. - He effectively decided that Horikita had to receive protection points. But in the end, if we don't pass this special test, the action itself will be meaningless. It is not the same if we lost 350 points, is it? Keisei answers, holding up his glasses. - We would only need Suzune to get back into the game! - This school is not that simple. Kouenji's 300 points on the uninhabited island test were something of a miracle. If you exclude that, how long did it take us to finally reach the current class points? . I'm afraid that's not very realistic. The gap that Horikita would leave is large, but not enough to lose 350 points We can fill the 350 point deficit with Horikita, or we can still fight without her. It's hard to put a simple value on it, but what Keisei says is generally true. - I do not agree with the decision to expel Kiyopon or Horikita. This is not a personal relationship, but I think we should listen to them first. Because the culprit, as Sudou-kun said, is the one who kept voting for Haruka who unusually speaks, barged in and they were surprised by Haruka's words The explanation was not to protect me because I was one of them, but was to say that it was too early to do so. - Yes you're right. I too may have lost my composure a bit ....... But if Ayanokouji is wrong in the name of the person who voted in favor, ...... no ....., or even if not He got the name right, it would probably ruin the whole relationship .....

If they can't, we will do a random vote. - .. It's okay. Time to vote is running out. We have to do it. Please let it be me - Hey hey Suzune! What do you think you're doing? - If we're going to have a vote anyway, I want to check it out. I want to see how many of the students want me to leave . As if to test herself, Horikita raises her hand and proposes to be voted on. If the vote is unanimous in favor, the student is expelled. On the other hand, if the vote is unanimous against, the student will be expelled. And if there is no unanimity in any of them, we will have to start over, including Horikita, to choose who to vote for. - We will now begin a 60 second vote for Suzune Horikita. The vote for or against the expulsion of Horikita begins. How many students will vote for Horikita's expulsion? After about 30 seconds, all the votes appear to have been cast and the results are displayed on a monitor by Chabashira. 18 .º result of the vote · 16 votes in favor and 22 votes against. Am I the only one who thinks this was an interesting result? The only person who can clearly vote against Horikita is, objectively speaking, Sudou. And then there's Kouenji, who doesn't want to let go of his only ally, Horikita. On the other hand, the rest of the students were asked to vote only on whether or not they agreed with Horikita's expulsion. For the 16 invisible students, Horikita's presence is not that important.

Everyone who has voted in favor, raise your hand or I'll kill you! - Enough already, Sudou-kun - I can't leave it like this! - You're wasting your time making a fuss. Let's talk more constructively - Horikita-san is right, Sudou-kun. Unanimity is the essential rule for this special examination. Even if there are 37 votes in favor, as long as you continue voting against, Horikita will not be expelled. Just like I said, even if you are not satisfied, you just have to keep one person on your side. It's also the only way to make sure you don't get kicked out. Just one vote. With an unshakable defensive vote against, you can avoid the fate of expulsion. On the other hand, if you lose that one vote, there is nothing you can do to prevent yourself from being expelled. - We're running out of time. It is time for you to give the name of the student that you think continued to vote in favor. - I know what you mean. But before answering, I would like to make a suggestion - Suggestion? - Yes. Now I'm going to give a name, but I don't think this is going to be a mere statement. Because if I mention the wrong person, I would damage their reputation with my words. - That is ...... it is true - That's why it's not a random statement, and on the other hand, if I happen to mention the wrong person, then I'll take responsibility and drop out of school. - Wait, Kiyotaka?

But it's okay - You say that you are going to drop out of school, but Karuizawa-san would be against Ayanokouji-kun's vote, right? That makes no sense... - I won't let that happen. Taking responsibility also means letting them cast those votes against. If the time comes, I'll get Kei to vote for it. Agree? - I ...

I mean the fact that I am partly to blame for this particular test, because it was I who led the way in voting for it. However, it was an anonymous person who persisted in voting in favor of the motion. I still think that this is the person who should take responsibility. - Yes, yes, it is true, there is a student in this class who tried to hide in anonymity by making someone drop out, right?

Kushida's eager eyes stare at me. - If I'm going to give the name, I have to be prepared to pay for it. Above all, only when I am as close to 100% safety as possible am I willing to risk my own expulsion to mention it. - Okay, okay.

He insisted that Horikita or I be expelled from school for this project, and he kept voting for it. Whether or not he realizes it was a bad move is no longer a trivial matter. I have decided that Kushida cannot be rehabilitated, but you wanted to face her to the end. So far I did not mention the name, considering the possibility of sacrificing the class. You may not have been able to save Kushida, but you don't have to sacrifice yourself. I don't know what Horikita is thinking right now, but I clearly see that she is looking at me more calmly than she thought. Besides, you chose to stand in my way as your enemy So we have to fight.

That is why I also came prepared for it, preparing in advance. But even so, I don't think he could have decided that he would actually sell Kushida. It is even more so because I think I have some weaknesses against me. - That's how it is. It's you, when urged to vote against, he stubbornly kept voting up.

Seeing Kushida's tears of pain, Hondou rushed in. - No, not Ayanokoji, not Kushida-chan, not at all. ......! That's not fair. - No, I don't care how many times you say it, Ayanokouji. It can't be, Kushida-chan !. It is not good to hold a grudge - That does not matter. I've been thinking about this since before you appointed me, or since the first vote on the fifth motion. - It's ... wait. I voted against until the last moment, remember? . Why do that? - Pretext, huh? Well, of course it would look like this in this situation. It's just a random excuse to make up for the fact that he's about to get kicked out. Obviously everyone sees it that way.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - There is no evidence that you voted against, of course, since it is an anonymous vote. I am going to show them that you are the one to blame for having voted in favor all this time. There are no objections, right? - I can't say how horrible it is ....... I was the first to give both names. But she was ready for it. I decided that I would sacrifice myself to protect my class, even if it meant being the subject of lies and slander. Whatever content you are going to say, they are all lies. By putting that line of defense in place, you make sure your followers don't abandon you. - First of all, I would like to say why I thought Kushida was the one who kept voting up. This is because you have a student in your class that you really want to expel. Believe it or not, listen to the end. The people she wants to expel are Horikita and I, who herself has mentioned by name. Many people are confused as to what I am talking about. Kushida, who should be more distressed than anyone else, seems distressed, but calmly chooses her words. - I mentioned both names, so that's the way it is, right? - Not at all. From the beginning of her stay at the school, she has always perceived Horikita as a hindrance more than anyone else . If I've come this far, you'll understand Kushida even if you don't like it. I'm going to reveal all the information I know about Kushida here. But I can't tell you to stop. As long as she continues to play the role of the pretty, pitiful girl, there is no way to stop her. - Kushida. You have something in common with Horikita that the other classmates don't have, right? - W .. What do we have in common ......? You must adopt an unfamiliar attitude at least once, even if you know it.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year I could interrupt that performance, but I don't dare. This is because the defense instinct to protect yourself will only make you suffer more. - This ..... oh, maybe. Are you saying we're from the same high school? No one had ever heard of a story like this before. Classmates were surprised to hear the first information You do not have to reveal the cards you have hidden from us, you have to reveal them yourself. - That's right. Not a single one of these students knew about it, right? The person in question, Horikita, is now staring at the podium, so we cannot see his expression. But on the other hand, it's easy to see how your peers look at you. - Well wait? ... It's true that I never told anyone, but I never had a chance to talk about it. It was a big school and we weren't in the same class. ...... It took me quite a while to confirm with Horikita-san that we went to the same school. Kushida says there is no way he wants to kick her out in the first place. At that moment, some of the students, unable to see Kushida's situation, began to act. - Stop it, Ayanokouji. You said you could tell who had voted for it, so I listened silently, but it was Kikyou-chan ... That's impossible It was Ike who denied it. And that voice spreads quickly. - That's how it is. What you say, Ayanokouji-kun, is not very good. - You were the one who invited us to vote in favor, but in the end, he took it out on her and mentioned Kushida-san's name. What's that? - Why are you talking about expelling her in the first place just because the two of them were in the same high school? Does that mean Ayanokouji went to the same high school as you two? Classmates ask common questions.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year The complaints that arise grow from one to two and from two to three. Friendly forces that appear one after another without being asked. There is no doubt that it is a powerful weapon in the hands of Kushida - Man, were you that kind of person? . You have been weird for a while Ayanokouji. - Yes you're right. You are a little scary. ...... You have always had a calm image Not only do they cover her, but some begin to distrust me because I do not act the same as always. - ...... Don't blame him, guys. I'm sure Ayanokouji didn't mean to say it ... I know what it's like to be in a situation like this and want to blame someone else ... He collects the words of his companions in an excellent way and puts them into action while pretending to protect himself from this - You are too kind, Kikyou-chan. Don't let me say what I want Automatically, when people speaking on behalf of Kushida get enraged, they deprive the right to speak. But I also have my own weapons to counter this. - It is Ayanokouji-kun who is speaking. We shouldn't half-interfere. That's what Yosuke says, giving a warning to any student who tries to interfere with me. - Come on, Hirata. It's useless to keep listening to Ayanokouji's lies - We should wait to hear the whole story before commenting on whether it is true or a lie. Of course, if I find out that it is a lie, I will not forgive you. - Is it really worth listening to? - Yes, it is something we need to hear. This will define the course of action that we will take not only from Kushida-san, who was named, but also from Ayanokouji-kun, won't it? I have told Yosuke that he can control the voting when the time is up.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year But there was no way of knowing what the motion would be, and of course he hadn't heard of Kushida. As a purely neutral person, you must judge in order not to make mistakes - I have nothing to do with where the two come from. It doesn't matter that they went to the same high school. However, it is also true that in high school, Kushida had a big secret. - Stop it, Ayanokouji-kun ... don't tell any more lies .. Tears start to run down her cheeks and she starts crying right then and there. - Hey Kiyopon, I'm on your side ...... but I'm also with Kyou-chan. What can I say, do you really have to keep talking about this? Haruka, who originally belongs to Ayanokouji's group, is on my side as she just said. Although he doesn't have many friends, he gets along with Kushida outside of the group. If you care for both parties, it is natural that you also try to stop this conflict. - Haruka. You voted in favor, and you were waiting for the anonymous student to be revealed, right? So you have to listen to this story to the end. - But, because it's Kyou-chan ... - It is not true? I understand why you would think that, but Kushida is not who you think she is. Sorry, but I have to continue. Kushida's secret lies in her true nature. - Kyou-chan's true nature ......? - Yes. At first glance, Kushida seems to be a good person. She is kind, caring, good at her studies, good at sports, a perfect student. But in reality, she is the most deeply envious. What if she has a personality that can only be satisfied if she is the best? What if, as a result, he even has a history of destroying his classes in high school when his true nature was revealed? - It's honestly a hard story to believe. But even if it's true, it doesn't make sense. Certainly, in the case of Horikita-san who went to the same high

I don't think Horikita-san mentioned it. - It was because I got a chance to see Kushida's true nature shortly after entering school. I witnessed how Kushida, who was not the generous and sincere looking person that she usually is, blurted out all her negative thoughts. Even after all this, Kushida hasn't taken any action to say anything. Just keep playing the role of a sweet girl looking at a poor student who tells pure lies She is very proud of herself because she knows that if she does, she will be fine. Of course, whether bad things are said about you, true or false, is a negative factor that will cast a shadow over your future school life.

But it wasn't Kei, Haruka, but Kushida who stopped him. - Enough ......, my heart can't take anymore ...... - Kushida-san? - If you say your true feelings, it will never change.

Guys ...... why? - Because no matter what happens, there is no way Kushida-chan will expel you. Truth? The 33 students who voted against the motion responded with a nod to show their solidarity. - Ayanokouji. To be honest, I think it's disgusting to attack Kushida-chan just so you don't get kicked out. Apart from my vote in favor, only four people voted in favor of the expulsion of Kushida. I would say that I am only quite surprised that five votes were obtained. - Ayanokouji will be next, right? Certainly if things continue like this, there will be a vote to expel me. That would be the best chance of achieving unanimity in favor in the current situation.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year But only if they can make that decision 10 minutes later. - Ayanokouji, I've heard that Kushida-san's true nature is something else, but I don't think so. - That's how it is. First of all, has Kushida-san ever tried to expel Horikitasan from school? If he really wanted to expel her, he would have taken action long ago, right? If the right opportunity is waited, a voice will naturally be found to demand what you have to say. - Getting a classmate expelled is not easy. But at least I've been the Kushida target once. In a special examination similar to this special examination unanimously . By avoiding saying it outright, I let the classmates dig into their memories. - Oh, the class voting ....... At that time, I think it was Yamauchi-kun and Kushida-san ……. Yes. Class Voting - Last year, for the first time, we had a class vote that resulted in the expulsion of a student from our class. In the end, Yamauchi was expelled from the school, but one of the people who used Yamauchi to induce me to drop out was Kushida. It is surely still fresh in your mind. - It's a coincidence? We have had two similar exams and both times they wanted to expel me, and this time Kushida was the one involved. If you remember those days, you would understand that it would be strange on Kushida's part. - It is true that it may seem like a coincidence. But Ayanokouji, if Kikyochan is deliberately trying to get Ayanokouji expelled from school, why would you prepare him up to this critical moment? I think it will be better to move, but it will not be a simple story. - She thought I was her ally. You would never think that he would expose all of his hidden secrets to her like this, would you? - .... ally?

Basically, Kushida can only deny or listen. As long as I cannot affirm, I will always have the initiative. - Give me proof, Ayanokouji. If you want to keep blaming Kushida-chan, it is absolutely necessary It was Hondou who came forward in a forceful way. He seems to have special feelings for Kushida - You're right. Surely it will be useless to continue talking like this without proof. I'm going to tell you why Kushida trusted me until now. - It was a long time ago. Kushida blackmailed me by making a contract for me to give her half of my monthly private points in exchange for not kicking me out of school. No one had imagined such a story to be mentioned, and it came as a slight surprise to the group defending it. - It is not true? Kushida - …… .. Maybe you weren't expecting this to come up, or maybe it was in the back of your mind but couldn't decide how to respond. In any case, Kushida was speechless. You cannot honestly admit that you are receiving private points. On the other hand, it is difficult to deny that you have not received it. Although you may falsely say that you did not receive it at the time, the truth will come out when it is confirmed later. The fact that who made the transfer, to whom and how much, is recorded in the school's record. - How about?. Can you tell me that you haven't received a single point? " - That's it…..

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year I'm not going to let you take your time. Just when he was about to direct his gaze towards Chabashira, Kushida's lips trembled as she answered. - Yes, that's right ...... I get private points every month from Ayanokoujikun He has denied most of what I have said, but had no choice but to admit it. If you check with Chabashira, and you know the flow of the points at this time, it is inevitable that the situation will deteriorate rapidly. There is some doubt about the possibility that Professor Chabashira is aware of the transfer of points between students at any time, and if she would leak personal data, but Kushida is not willing to take that risk. - But ... but for completely different reasons. Ayanokouji-kun asked me to keep it for him, and of course I didn't use a point, you know? There are only one or two ways to justify the fact that you receive half of your private points each month from your peers. As Kushida said, they asked him to keep it for them, and the only other reason that can be said is that he received it for free. If he said that I gave it to him voluntarily, as in the case of the latter, he would have to make up for it by talking about it, so he said that they asked him to keep it for them - I didn't mean for you to keep it. It was a condition, a price that he had to pay in order not to be expelled - You're lying…. The contract to deliver half of the private points was made by me. Kushida remembers these things well. He even took the time to carefully record that day. However, in the right circumstances, it is possible to block their use. No, quite the opposite. It is a weapon that stabs itself in the back. - It's a lie, but, Kushida when you signed this contract with me, you said that you made a recording for your own insurance, right? If that

She denies it at once, despite being overwhelmed. The recording is probably saved somewhere, but apparently not on your phone. I wouldn't take a risky recording directly with you, I guess. It would have been faster, but it didn't matter. - Kushida is the same if you hide the recording data in an unknown place. We signed the contract in February of this year, and I also recorded the conversation we had. So I can use it as a weapon if something happens to me. Kushida widened her eyes looking at me. He never would have guessed it. - I have listened to the recording several times and I know every word. I remember every word. 'I'm going to give you half of my private points', I think that's how it begins. - It's a lie. I've never heard of anything like this. - 'It's certainly not a bad deal.

private points at the moment. Certainly the more money you have the better, but I have enough. ': So Kushida answered. ….I have no idea……. If you want, can I ask Chabashira-sensei to bring my phone right now? I do not mind. But you can't do it, you're in the middle of a special test, remember? The use of a mobile phone can lead to cheating and must therefore be confiscated. But if you leave everything to Chabashira-sensei to manage the mobile and he only asks him to play the recorded data .. In that case there will be no chance of cheating.

Of course, I do not believe that these exceptions are granted unconditionally during special examinations. However, she is restless and directs her gaze to Chabashira who is in front.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - You don't want me to bring my phone. All the work you have done to cover up your deceptions has been in vain. But you already know that, right? I have no intention of stopping What will Kushida think since she has few words to say? He turned his back on me and stopped moving, as if he had stiffened, and kept his gaze straight ahead. Kushida, of course, remembers that day and, being a cautious person, she would have made sure the recording worked properly. In other words, he had been hearing it repeatedly. When saying the entire exchange, some words must have matched the recording data in your memory. - 'Even if there is enough money to use quietly, it is never a bad idea to have more in case of an emergency.' There will definitely be a big change in Kushida, who was acting like the victim. She has reached a point where it is impossible to continue pretending to be an angel in this class. - Shut up now The companions gulped. I heard a voice that I couldn't understand, wondering who it was that had just said that. The only way to stop him from saying something else is by showing his true nature. But if I reveal its true nature, everything will be destroyed. - "As Chabashira-sensei said. Private points are for your own protection." - Shut up shut up shut up ..... I will continue to the end, despite the words of rejection and obstruction that come to me. - 'This proposal. No matter how I think about it, Ayanokouji-kun would be at a disadvantage .. If you said it because of being at risk of dropping out of school, then could I understand? ' This is the conversation between Kushida and I before our agreement. If you listen to the same

It doesn't matter if I actually have the recording or not, that's not important. The only thing necessary and important is that the lines of the conversation coincide with the actual exchange. - It's enough!! I scream, and with the silence Kushida must be struggling to remember what happened then. It all started because he wanted to know the weaknesses of all the freshmen, and he knew that he would have many opportunities with Kushida to know the weaknesses of his classmates. When he asked me for something in exchange for his help, he offered my own private points. I'm sure the preproposal conversation, the one in which Horikita and I were asked to drop out of school, remains intact. You thought you had a convenient hand to play with, but that was a big mistake. You left a trail of evidence that will lead to your own downfall. - I want you to tell me exactly which part of the conversation you want to review. So that I and the whole class can hear it. The others, hoping there was a mistake, just watched Kushida with some anguish. - ……Sorry Shortly after, Kushida mumbled an apology. - Why do you apologize? - It's true, in exchange for half of your private points monthly, I promised not to fight Ayanokouji-kun. That's ... the truth, so ... It is not an apology to me, but an apology to his teammates for lying to them.

Kushida stops when I raise my voice to hold on to the anonymity part The way her companions looked at her was very different from the warmth they had shown her previously. Even if he wasn't really the student who had been voting for it, it was no longer possible to go about his daily life as before. It seems that you have understood perfectly. But Kushida's look in her eyes wasn't dead yet. - Wasn't it really Ayanokouji-kun who kept voting in favor? ... - what do you mean? - Ayanokouji-kun wanted to expel me from school. So you took steps to force it to be unanimous in favor. Because it's weird ...... that you're always so quiet and don't think much about it, it's funny how you work on your own initiative to get people expelled. Kushida, who is the closest to being the possible culprit, tries to transfer her guilt from her to me. Sorry, but I already assumed you were going to use that strategy. - Hey Karuizawa-san While scratching his hair, he turns his gaze to Kei. - That? - It seems like you're dating Ayanokouji-kun, did you know at the beginning of the school year. Ayanokouji-kun was desperate to go out with me and did he come on at me? - What is that? .. What are you talking about?

What does that mean, Kiyotaka !? - So you didn't know? As soon as I started school, he did terrible things to me. A feeling of disgust begins to spread among the girls, including the guys Kushida likes. - I tried to gently tell her to stop right there, but I was ...... too scared and I couldn't help myself. - It seems to me that you are saying things at your convenience, the fact is that I never touch your breasts - Ki .. Kiyotaka but is what he says true !? - It's true. I had no choice but to say this. But really, Ayanokouji-kun touched my breasts. - Kushida. I hate saying these things, but isn't it disgusting? - I also have evidence, although it is not the same as the recording of your phone that you made. I still have the uniform with Ayanokouji's prints all over it. You already know what would happen when I show that right? Like he said, I have a recording on my phone, I would go do the same to you. If this is later shown to be true, we will be the ones to be in trouble. - Explain to me what you mean. From Kei's point of view who is being told the story objectively, it's understandable that he wants to ask for an explanation. - There is no such fact. It is more of a question of whether it is true or false. You say you have fingerprints on your clothes, but how will it be preserved?

At this point, it would not have much impact to provide new information that is partly wrong. - Because, why!!!!, The hand that grips my uniform also grows stronger. - Why are you betraying me !!! You mentioned that you didn't want to make an enemy of me, remember ?! - Of course I didn't want to antagonize you. I wasn't even interested in the fact that you had a two-sided personality.

It's unexpected. - Uh, it's a lie, right Kikyou-chan? What Ayanokouji-kun just said ...... is a lie, right? - A lie? The truth is that I hate them. - That is because? - There are things that must be protected at all costs. You do not understand it?. Right ... How could you know? Oh my, it's all over.

Just because he planned to expel Horikita doesn't mean his friends are to blame. Of course, he is guilty of forcing the class to choose the route of expulsion by continually voting in favor, but still it is difficult to say that he could have achieved unanimous support for the expulsion of Kushida I need more and more damage done to this class to secure expulsion. - You won't be able to expel me or Horikita. It is a pity. - In the next vote it will be to expel me. This class will get points for my sacrifice. I'm happy for you, as everyone will be able to move up to class B.

He brought his face close to my neck and coldly whispered - I can at least show a little resistance, right? It was a whisper, but more than enough for the class to hear. Presumably Kushida was preparing for this personally, without needing her to be exposed. - You can not. You have no more friends who vote against - That is not the case.

Right before that, you were hesitating between him and Komiya-kun, but it was wonderfully easy right? Or did you intend to try dating Ike-kun and then go with Komiya-kun who was closer to being your true love? - Hey Satsuki !? Kushida is seen throwing flaming information content rolling around here and there in the class. When a fire started in one place begins to spread, words quickly fly to new things. - Speaking of romantic connections, Wang-san also consulted me on many things. - No, please stop! - Do you want me to stop? By stopping, do you mean the fact that you were talking about Hirata-kun the person you like and love? - ..!? Suddenly forced into the classroom, they mention the name of the person Miichan likes In an instant, her face turns red and she starts crying when she sees Yosuke look at her. - Enough already, we just got started, okay. Because this is not the only secret that they have told me. Do you want me to talk about something heavier next time? Well, let's start with Hasebe, for example. - ..... Kyou-chan ...... - Oh, stop calling me by my nickname. You can't even make friends and you call people by nicknames just to feel closer to them. I am also sure that it is annoying for those who are called that. While Kushida shifts her target towards Haruka, Shinohara, Mori including the rest of the group have said nothing including Ike, and the true lies continue to be pushed. Shinohara, Mori, and the others, including Ike, said nothing and the imposition of false reality continued.

1 After just a few minutes of listening to Ayanokouji-kun, people's opinion of Kushida had changed 180 degrees. His friends were supposed to be as strong and united as Ayanokouji-kun's group. Now, for some reason, the relationship seems terribly fragile. Even I, who knew Kushida's background before anyone else. It was a story that had such a powerful effect that if Ayanokouji-kun had asked me to nominate her, I would have done so. He may have seen Ayanokouji's power before anyone else. The class is a picture of hell. At the end of the interval, voting will begin for Kushida, who will have the majority. So this special exam is probably over. Our class will be able to score 100 points by making sacrifices. That will be a valuable asset in our search for the AClass. But .... Yes, first of all, you need to resolve the situation. I'm sure they're all in the same flow of time, but for me, every second that passes, and slowly but surely, time slows down. The seconds pass, slowly but continuously. The second hand of the analog clock, which seems out of place in a classroom, slows down as if it were about to stop at any much. What is my goal? I need to find that myself. Obviously, the answer is to graduate from Class A. For that you need the class points. That's obvious. So how much is Kushida-san worth?

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year In that case, I should change my line of thinking. If we fail this special exam, we will lose 350 class points. If in exchange for that, I could protect Kushida-san, could I get him back? ... I don't think it's impossible but it will be very difficult. Not only for her, but also for me. Kushida-san is not worth 350 class points, so she should be expelled. That's what most people would think. So what do I want to do, Horikita Suzune? What do I want to do with the student named Kushida? Do I want to save her or do I want to get rid of her? By focusing my concentration to the maximum, I transcended time and erased any unnecessary background noise. Should I leave everything to Ayanokouji-kun? No I can not. In which case, you should rethink this. What is the correct answer, what is the wrong answer, is there something only I can do? I acknowledge the strength of the person called Ayanokouji and respect him before thinking again. A single beacon of light glowed in the dark. Yes, that is correct. I came up with the only correct answer. Ejecting Kushida-san here is not the correct answer. And right now, there is no one but me who can save Kushida-san. The frozen time began to move once more and the clock began to turn again. 2 One by one, the students began to support the decision to expel Kushida from the school, but one student stood up.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - Don't go beyond your limits, Kushida-san. If you say more than that, you won't be able to take it back. - Hey? Finally we are on the interesting part. Don't interrupt me, Horikitasan - That is not the case. I won't hear any more of these nasty stories - Is the truth that I'm saying really so disgusting? Perhaps she received it as a compliment, Kushida looks at Horikita with her happiest face today. - That's how it is. At the very least, I don't think these secrets you are telling are pleasant to hear. But you are not the only one who I think is acting in a nasty way. I believe exactly the same towards all these people whose secrets you revealed and now you whisper demanding your expulsion. Faced with the unexpected reprimands, the companions screamed in exasperation. - Why us too !? We have done nothing wrong! - You all told your secrets to Kushida-san. Let me ask you, why did you do that? - T… that's because we thought Kushida-san was trustworthy! And yet ... - That's how it is. Everyone in the class trusted Kushida-san. In general, it is not easy to earn someone's trust. Even more so if it comes to entrusting them with the kind of secret that you would not want anyone else to know. Most people only have a handful of people they can trust for things like that. Of course, Kushida-san is to blame for telling others your secrets like this. No wonder everyone is surprised that she had a hidden side behind her mask .. But doesn't everyone have a public mask that they wear and a true self hidden underneath it? That type of person would be someone rare who lives a life of honesty and truth. - But isn't the problem here that she kept insisting on voting for expulsion? Isn't that something unforgivable? - You're right. In order to expel Ayanokouji-kun and me, she made an incredibly selfish decision. We need to make you feel the weight of your

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year decision. And the way to do it is not by voting to expel her but by using her skills and making her pay us many times over in the future. In this case, Horikita's point would have been understood by her companions. - Are you suggesting that we not expel Kushida-san? - That's how it is. I want Kushida-san to stay in our class - Hey? You suddenly interrupted in the middle of everything, so I was wondering what you were going to say, but is this? The option was not to expel Kushida. Kushida herself was the first to object to it. - Why the hell are you defending someone like me? There's no way you're nominating someone else to kick out, right? Or do you want me to stay here to use as a punching bag? That would be a good hobby you would have. - Sorry to tell you, but I'm not one to tell jokes. I'm being completely serious right now. - If that's what you're seriously thinking, I'll make you change your mind right now. Shall we resume the continuation of hell? - But what I saw you say a moment ago didn't really seem like 'hell' to me - Oh really? So what did you think of that? Please tell me - It was just a silly and funny broadcast of your ugliness. You just looked like a fool - Hey? - The truth is, you are better academically than the average person. But fundamentally, you're out of your mind. During high school, didn't your class collapse by revealing everyone's secrets after your secret was exposed? Reflect on those mistakes, you decided to come to this school, but by a stroke of luck, you met me, who was from the same high school. And shortly after signing up, your hidden personality was also exposed to Ayanokouji-kun. What a bad luck. Not only that. Even though I had absolutely no interest in your past, you simply decided that you couldn't bear my existence and continually tried to expel me. You even tried to take advantage and come to terms with Ayanokoujikun. but that ended up being used against you. And this is the result of

Horikita sighs without qualms and in a humiliating way. The expression on Kushida's face, who had been smiling and laughing with a mischievous smile, changed into that of an angry young man. - You don't even know how I feel so you can't say what you want! I want to be the best! Even if I always have to be involved in stress, I want to feel a sense of superiority over others! Since you were an obstacle to that, I tried to get rid of you. Is there something wrong with that ?! - I don't know how you feel You are right, I don't know how you feel. Your only purpose in life was to listen to other people's concerns and collect them as stamps. You could never find someone to talk to about your own feelings Kushida clasps her hands. His hands are being squeezed so hard that the blood vessels seem to rise. - Your personality is a problem, but it is the same for me. But you put much more effort than me to make up for your weaknesses - Don't tell such funny lies. Everything you say from your mouth is just annoying - All I'm saying is the truth that you like it so much. Honestly, I think your talent and effort to make friends with so many men and women is something to be commended and is something that I am jealous that I cannot do. When he said this, the students, annoyed by Kushida, retort. - Right now, we were being harassed by Kushida-san and yet, do you think that's a great thing ?. - Pretend to be nice. Act like a good person every day. And do you think that is terrible? That is being superficial. Reconsider how difficult it is to be nice every day. Do you all have the talent to show your smile to everyone, lend a hand to those who need help, and listen to the concerns of others?

Hearing other people's inconsequential stories, going through all this, cannot be done by an ordinary person. He has done it with a kind smile and has supported many people from behind the scenes. - Stop. Stop now. I don't want to hear any more of that shit from you. - Why? If you're good at seeing people's hearts, you should know, right? I have no intention of making fun of you or humiliating you. I am praising you with all my heart Horikita restrained students who proactively tried to refute this argument. - It would be a great loss to the class if we expelled you from school as you have a talent that no one else has. - Shut! - That is why I cannot agree to expel Kushida-san. I want to bet and do everything possible for us to take advantage of their strengths. No definitely, I will - I'm telling you to shut up !! - You never know, right? . Only when I learned everything about you did I develop a great evaluation of you. Thinking about it, Kushida, for some reason, told us in detail about her past, which she wanted to keep hidden. Maybe it was not an act to be expelled, but because deep down she wanted people to know everything and she really wanted to share it. Kushida's face was covered in big tears. And then, like a child, she cries, unable to connect her words and unable to hide her frustration. How frustrating, how frustrating, how frustrating, how frustrating. These words are repeated sparingly.

Whether this will be accepted remains to be seen, but it has certainly made a difference in her life to Kushida. I had decided that it would be impossible to persuade her, so I had devised a strategy to get rid of her. Horikita, on the other hand, decided not to discard her but to protect her. But then the next problem is inevitable. - Sorry to interrupt in the middle of the discussion, but it's almost the end of the break time. What are they going to do? What you have to do, of course, is to run, or nominate, and who to vote for. - I do not have enough time. Anyone who wants to choose Kushida-san, please change your nomination to me. I will explain later. She appeals to her colleagues to nominate her as she cannot use her candidacy as it can only be used 1 time per person. - N… don't be silly! You're going to kick me out, right ?! Hurry up and get nominated and vote for me. - I'm not kidding. As I have said all along, you are going to take responsibility for this situation. I will not accept being expelled as punishment. If you do that, I would make fun of you for the rest of your life. You will always be a joke. I know some students weren't sure which one to nominate in the end, but that wasn't the point. - It's time. We will start voting for Horikita, who received more than half of the nominations. Even if Kushida is chosen by nomination, it won't make sense as long as Horikita votes against. A vote was taken for and against the expulsion of Horikita, but of course it will not be unanimous in favor. The cheap tease must

Everyone will be able to vote in 60 seconds. 20 .º Result of vote 1 vote in favor and 37 votes against - We are in the interval, so I'll say it again. I am against expelling Kushidasan. Kushida is delirious in an unfamiliar language, but Horikita is no longer paying attention to her. This hurt Kushida's pride again, but it also managed to silence her. This is because if she is expelled, there will be no way to confront Horikita. But it was unexpected. She was going to ruin everyone no matter who they were. Intellectually assume the zeal of your interior. She simply wanted to protect Kushida, that answer was not entirely a joke. He stated that he was confident that he could take advantage of many strengths beyond his main weaknesses. It seems that Horikita has leveled up faster than I expected. Of course, this is not to say that there is nothing to refute from here. Many students are keen to expel Kushida, as he has now pushed their status quo into the abyss. It's not that he can't be forced out, now that he's held out a hand, it's hard to assume that Horikita would just quit. We cannot rule out the possibility that, in some cases, time is running out and we will be forced to make the decision to keep the number of students expelled from class to 0. Sorry, but that would be unacceptable. - But Horikita-san, I wonder if you are going to defend Kushida-san, does that mean that you will let time run out? Yosuke asks something that needs to be confirmed immediately.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - I know that defending Kushida-san's expulsion is not the end. I have my own answer. No way ... No, is that what Horikita is about? - To avoid failing this special exam, someone must be expelled is an absolute requirement. It means that he was not only willing to rescue Kushida, but also to eliminate someone else at the same time. Although I feel Horikita's growth, I will act before she can say anything. - Wait a minute. I forcefully interrupted Horikita's attempt to continue. As much as you try to justify something, judging here has a high mental cost. It is easy to say that it is also an experience, but now it is too much for Horikita. Above all, if you make a single mistake, you are likely to run out of time. I am the only person who can create a unanimous decision to expel someone from school. No, wait. Those eyes look at me. So I get it. It is obvious that the person that Horikita and I have in mind is the same. - Kushida was the only student who kept voting to expel, so we decided that she would be the one to expel. But, as Horikita says, she is a talented student. In that case, we have no choice but to think of a different approach. - Wait a minute, Ayanokouji. Everyone in the class ended up voting in favor because they knew they were not the traitors. Now you say that you are not going to do that and that you are going to choose who to expel? You don't convince anyone! - I'm sure it's not just Ike who's the only one here who's dissatisfied. But despite that, we will have to make a decision. We have to take it in a way that is as fair as possible. - The fairest .... There is no such way that that exists.

Simply put, students with leadership skills like Horikita or students who can control the momentum of the class like Yosuke or Kei will inevitably be excluded from the selection. Of course, if you think I'm biased in my selection, you can freely object. As time is running out, the companions are silent, with no intention of wanting to interfere. - And in this choice it is better if we do not include the perspective of potential in the future. It is difficult to know how much someone will grow in the future. OAA is the way to make a fair decision. It is the quantification of the student's ability by the school, not counting the student's feelings. On September 1, the person with the lowest score in the class was 36 points overall. - The student with the lowest OAA in this class is …… Sakura Airi I replied, not looking at Airi in particular, but observing the entire scene. - Hey? What are you talking about? Don't joke at a time like this Haruka got up and glared at me - I am only giving an objective opinion. The class is the one to decide if they agree. He doesn't listen to my personal opinions and keeps talking: - Objective? So what if it is objective? What does the OAA classification have? So you say that makes it okay to kick Airi out?

Her academic ability and her physical ability are not that different from Airi's, are they? It is true that in the OAA, he was once tied for last place with Airi. But now he has added a point to his account to reach 37. He is one step ahead. - If so, let's briefly ask people. Raise your hand if you oppose the expulsion of Airi The one who raised her hand immediately was Haruka. Almost at the same time, Akito and Keisei raised their hands. Of course, this would be natural for Ayanokouji's group. - Three people, then. Which students oppose Ike's expulsion? Several boys, including Sudou, and the girls, including Shinohara and Mori, who owes Shinohara a debt of gratitude, raised their hands, and there were 11 who clearly objected. -

Why….. Making friends is also a skill. In that sense, Airi is clearly inferior to Ike. Can you say that while looking Airi in the eye ?! Is that what you want? Stop!

When I was about to look into Airi's scared eyes, Haruka stopped me. - It's okay since you can nominate Hondou, Okitani or some other student, but they won't fall below Airi's three votes - What is that ... stop playing. We certainly have few friends. But that doesn't mean you can kick Airi out like this! If I had a choice, I would. But we have already passed that stage. - .. To be honest ... Losing 300 points right now would be fatal. One of the members of the Ayanokouji group, Airi's friend Keisei, leaks his voice.

This is impossible. Weren't we friends? The cold voice is directed at me, and also at Keisei, whose true feelings have been revealed. - And everyone else too. Nobody protects her. That's right, they don't care what happens to Airi, who you don't get along with, they're only interested in saving yourselves. You do not care what happens to Airi since you are not close to her. Are you going to put Kyou-chan first just because he has a bit of use to you? Are they going to abandon a girl who struggles to keep up with class without causing trouble? . I see ... This class is the best, right? Keisei's involuntary comment turned out to be an offense to Haruka. Nobody wants to make eye contact with her and they give up to avoid being involved. - It's enough. I won't let Airi get expelled. If you want, you can vote for me. I will be delighted to be expelled. Trying to protect Airi, Haruka brings out her voluntary withdrawal, but it was not the strategy she had decided on. It is all out of the calculation. In fact, that statement does nothing but strangle itself. - Wait, Haruka-chan! I can't let Haruka-chan get kicked out! - It's okay, Airi. You have to stay at this school.

Nobody else has complaints, right? You will be able to protect yourself, so it's not like any of you have any reason to object. - That's it ... I can't vote for something like that ...!

Don't let Airi get expelled! Absolutely not! It's okay if we don't make it to Class A! We will all graduate together with Airi! - That's not good. Even if you save me like this, I'm sure you will regret it very much. If you couldn't make it to Class A because of me, I'm sure you will regret it for a long time. - Okay for me! You did not do anything wrong! I'm just protecting you because of my selfishness! - Thank you ... but I can't let Haruka-chan take on that responsibility. - What's that? ... Something like that ... There's nothing like that. Preventing people from dropping out of school is not always in their best interest. If this happens, casting to vote against will only make Airi suffer. - Self-sacrifice sounds good. It is comforting to my ears. From the class perspective, I'm sure they'll be relieved to have someone like Haruka around. If that's what it takes to make the class work, I don't think it's a bad choice. That's right, Sudou.

She will only suffer from her strong sense of responsibility as the person who involved her classmates in a disaster and will eventually be expelled without being able to look forward.

He looked up in surprise as if he had been slapped on the back and Airi nodded and smiled at Haruka's tearful face. If you do not make a decision and vote here, you will be totally denied what Airi represents. - The vote is over. We will announce the results. 22nd voting result 38 votes in favor 0 votes against Chabashira, who had been watching the fierce exchange, forgot to report the end of the exam and just stared at Airi and Haruka. After being expelled from school, Airi looks straight ahead, as if she has accepted everything. On the other hand, Haruka, who could not protect her, tries to contain her tears, but cannot hide them from a class that is completely silent. - …… Chabashira-sensei. Please proceed..

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year The observers, who until now had been silent and calm, save for the slightest warnings and advisories, seemed to have forgotten to remember the signal for the completion of the special exam. - A unanimous vote in favor of the expulsion of Airi Sakura ...... ends the last motion. The choice is valid and 100 class points are awarded. Just to remind you that there is only one way to undo this expulsion. Only if they have 20 million private points right now and can use them …… .. Out of obligation, Chabashira tried to continue the explanation, but stopped mid-sentence. - No further explanation is necessary. Even if we collected all the private points of all the students in our class, we would never reach 20 million points. - The other three classes have already finished their special exams, but you can go to your room immediately for today. As for Sakura, she will have to come with me to the staff room afterwards, so stay in class. - Yes. Airi responds to Chabashira in a low voice, but without hesitation. - That is all. Everyone, please leave your seats. Follow the directions and leave the classroom. We were informed and each of us left his seat at different times. Airi was instructed to stay there. He was unable to stand up, and although he struggled to keep his shaky knees on their feet, it didn't seem to work. Breathing became more difficult and hyperventilation-like symptoms began to appear. He and Akito, who couldn't bear to see her, rushed towards her and forced her to get up so they could hug her. Nothing good will come of staying here. And Keisei wasted no time in doing the same.

No, it no longer makes sense to say something like this ... You know what, forget it ... Although she had the desire to vent, Keisei turned her back on me and started walking down the hall. It wouldn't make sense to wait here for Haruka or Akito It doesn't matter if it's justifiable. It is impossible not to feel something for having led the abandonment of an important member of the group. Kei walks over to me. I noticed her demeanor that seemed tense, but I stopped her with my gaze .. It would be better to let Kei be calm for today, like she's in mourning too. There is no need to create hatred with unnecessary things. As I recall, Chabashira wanted to meet me after the special exam. When I looked at my phone I saw that I had received a message and that the meeting was at 6 in the afternoon. I had a little time. Deciding that it was best not to stay, I decided to leave. If I went straight to the front door, I would meet Kensei and the other students. In any case, I have a meeting with Chabashira, so I will dedicate myself to walk around the school, where there are not many people - Ayanokouji-kun I knew he was following me, but when he couldn't see anyone anymore, he called me. - What's going on?. Weren't you talking to Kushida? - No. Now he's not speaking to me. I only advised him not to drop out of school on his own. He had many friends around him, but at the end of the exam no one said anything to him.

Sorry

As her hair, slightly longer than before, swayed, Horikita bowed deeply. - This special exam ...... I ...... wasn't strong enough. - Weren't you enough? You did the best you could, right? It was a much tougher competition than last year's class vote - No matter how hard the fight was, I put you in a big bind ...... and you've had to take on all the responsibility that should have been shared. It was inevitable that some students would be expelled. That is why Horikita wanted to show her intentions. - I was the one who told you to be silent, okay. - That's not good. I left a big scar on your precious group .. I really ... I don't think you can repair your relationships. - It's fine. In fact, this situation might be more convenient for me in the future. It is true that if he had involved Horikita, we could have divided the responsibility for the incident equally. But such a situation is not what I want. - Convenient…? What do you mean by that? - Do not worry about that. It's a trivial matter Although, it will be a while before I am satisfied with the results of this special exam, but I don't want the consequences of this to continue to affect the next exam. - Think positively. We secure 100 class points to get closer to Class A. No one can make fun of us for getting these points - But ... we lost Sakura-san in return - The class average has also gone up. It is a good result. - Stop. There is no need for you to force yourself - Forces? I tried to deny it, but the words stuck in my throat.

As if surprised by that voice, Horikita turned around and let out a gasp upon seeing the person it belonged to. - Are you ... Sakura-san ...? An Airi without resistance held her breath and walks towards us. - I'll go ahead and go - That's good, that's probably for the best. The moment Horikita passed Airi, he tried to call her, but hesitated and in the end couldn't. He probably couldn't think of anything to say to someone who was leaving. - I wanted to show this to Kiyotaka-kun before I go ... How do I look? Before the expulsion vote, Haruka had said that Airi wanted to show me her new look. Was this what he was talking about? - I almost mistook you for someone else. No wonder Horikita hardly recognizes you - I guess it took a while to decide if I mustered my courage. Airi, who had taken off her glasses and wore a trendy hairstyle, giggled shyly to herself. - It's not something someone like me can say ... but please take care of Haruka-chan in my place. - I get it. - Goodbye, Kiyotaka-kun. Airi flashed me an exceptional smile, like none I'd ever seen before turning around. When he started to walk, he sometimes slowed down and almost came to a complete stop, but he kept going without ever turning around. From the empty hallway, I could hear his voice. The sounds of sobbing and crying that she desperately tried to suppress. Seeing such a scene, I was reminded of scenes that I had seen often in the past. When it is too late, the defeated

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Epilogue - Goodbye to the past. The unanimous special examination, which lasted about five hours, has come to an end. Soon, I heard that it was the only one of the four classes that expelled a student. It cannot be said that few students deeply regretted it. However, in this special exam where 3 classes increased only 50 points, getting 150 class points will definitely come to life in the subsequent battle. If we end September like this, we could finally be promoted to class B. After school, he was waiting for someone on the stairs leading to the roof, as promised. About ten minutes after the scheduled time, a person appears. - I'm sorry I kept you waiting. I had to do a processing, which took time. - No problem. By the way, did it end the way you wanted it to? Or was it the other way around? - Don't ask those tough questions. There is no correct answer to that test, that's what I think. There is a chance that someone will see us here, so let's move on. - That would be the sensible thing to do. With a slight gesture, Chabashira begins to climb the stairs to the ceiling. Then he produced a key with a simple blue name holder. - Every year there is more opposition to the use of roofs in schools. Perhaps in the near future, it may be difficult at school to enter the roof as usual. Even if the fence is installed, there is a risk of it falling over. Also, the downside to the rooftop is that it can be abused a bit, like Ryuuen used to. Chabashira stepped silently onto the roof, leaned against the railing, and exhaled. - It has been a long day. Chabashira talks to herself about her pure impressions from the special exam. - I mentioned this earlier in the exam, but I did the same exam when I was in third year. - So it seems.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Who knows what he was looking at, Chabashira just looked up at the sky, tinted by the setting sun. - If you allow it, could you hear my confession? - It is called the Sacrament of Penance. I don't know much about religion, but if you don't mind. This is the unanimous special exam that he is said to have taken when he was a student. The situation of the class would change the expression that the development would show to a great extent. He said there were some of the same challenges, depending on the situation in the classroom, the development will change the picture that seems big. - I remember that day as if it were yesterday; we were about to take final exams and we were about to catch up with class A. The point difference in the class was only 73 points. We were in a position to turn them around with a single special exam, even though we couldn't do it with the little time we had left in our school life. It was a very close battle. Class A would not have been thought to have the advantage in that difference. - Meanwhile, the unanimous special examination began. There were five challenges. Like you, we were able to get to the fourth challenge without a hitch, despite our differences of opinion. - You said the final challenge was the same. - Well, it was. It seems like my memory from today's exam is a bit fuzzy. By overlaying it with the past he may have confused the timeline of what he was saying and thinking. - Of course, in the first vote there was only a small majority in favor and a large majority against. But as the debate progressed, the situation began to change radically. If class A had voted unanimously in favor, the difference would have increased to 173 points - So you didn't know at the time what the final exam would be? - That's how it is. As you may have guessed, winning a special exam does not necessarily mean that you will earn a lot of class points. If class B

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year gets first place, but class A comes second, there may not be a big difference in class points. The difference between the first and second place would be 100 or 150 points. Of course, it could have been more than 200 points, but there was no guarantee of it. - As time passed, the debate grew more intense. There was no way that Class A would decide to expel someone, so everyone would vote against it in the same way and survive the special unanimous exam; they would win the graduation exam to become Class A. Some say that if Class A does not decide to expel, it is an opportunity to turn things around. We talk about all possible cases. The content of the story that appears in the same challenge is completely different depending on the situation in the class. There are only two options, but the only way to get there is through a series of twists and turns. - We spent a lot of time talking about it, but we never came up with the correct answer. Do we make the sacrifice to get to class A, or do we choose one of our companions and fight a tough fight? Perhaps that is exactly how she remembers herself in the past. From the side, Chabashira's eyes seemed to be slightly damp from the evening sun. - Little by little, my classmates began to lean towards the idea that class A, which was approaching class B, would be willing to make the sacrifice of getting 100 points. And when we started talking about this, the opposition began to slowly shift in favor of the idea. - Even so, while someone is going to disappear it is not easy to join in favor. It is inevitable that the least capable, the least communicative or the most peculiar are the first to be expelled. - This is how it is once the vote is unanimous in favor, it cannot be reversed. It is not easy to get everyone to vote in favor, you are right. - Something had happened to change the situation. In the case of the special examination, I promised to expel only the traitors and this led them to agree.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - There was a boy in my class. It was, well, I guess the best way to describe it would be to say that it was a combination of Hirata and Ike in your class. - Yosuke and Ike. He is a character a bit difficult to imagine. - He was a serious guy, but he was a bit distracted. He was a good friend and a smart guy, but he didn't read the atmosphere of the place. He was the leader of the class, but also the one in charge of creating an atmosphere of encouragement. - I see, he was a student who somehow included the advantages and disadvantages of Yosuke and Ike. - That student had been struggling since the last challenge was entrusted to us. In the end, the process was to choose in favor and that is why he had to hand over the reins to someone else. Chabashira's hand holding the railing was full of strength. - And then that student came up with a single answer. When we got a unanimous vote in favor of the motion, he told us that he was going to be a candidate for expulsion; I think he decided that he could not abandon his companions who had fought for him for three years. - The only special exam left was the final graduation exam. It was going to be painful not having a leader, it was an option, but not the only one. Of course, it was not a wise choice, but if all your companions are on an equal footing, it is very difficult to choose one; there is a way to get carried away by luck, but there are many students who would not be convinced. - But it wasn't unanimous after that. - Why? It was agreed that the leader would drop out of school, wasn't it? - No, one person continued to oppose the expulsion of that student until the very end. A vote against was never going to be counted in favor of the motion and the time remaining was getting shorter. It was I, among all of us, who continued to vote against. - From the way the story was told I thought that was the case, that being said, it means that ... - You mean that the student who was the class leader was not just a leader to Chabashira-Sensei?

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Closing her eyes, Chabashira laughed once at herself and slowly opened her eyes again, then looked up at the sunset sky and affirmed deeply: - Yes, for me, that student was a leader, a friend, and… and… above all, my boyfriend; the irony is that this happened the day before the special exam was held. Through many difficulties, they had come to understand each other. The future was supposed to be about getting as much happiness as possible out of the remaining years of school and reaching class A. That's what Chabashira couldn't pass up. - My colleagues were puzzled and angry when I kept voting against it. Some of them turned against me. Well it's a natural thing. - But if Chabashira-Sensei didn't kick him out, that means ... - Yes. I protect him, he protects me. That stalemate continued endlessly. We couldn't finish the special exam on time, our class lost 300 points, and class A had decided to expel, so the difference was 450 points. The total difference was 523 points. In an instant, the distance between us and Class A, which had been so narrow, became hopelessly wide. No matter what special breakthrough graduation exam is prepared for you, it is a point difference that will never be reversed. - Not that it's any consolation, but your boyfriend didn't drop out of school, did he? - I don't know why I did it, but when the special exam unanimously ended, our relationship naturally ended. It was only one day, or even less than 24 hours, after that, we lost the final exam, and our three years came to nothing. - And then what happened to him? - I have never seen it. I don't even know where he is now. When I was in high school, this institute was everything to me and he was everything to me. He was everything to me in high school. Looking at it now, it's so stupid. In the long run, three years of high school is just a small part of your life. Even if I couldn't have made it to class A, I should have fought to the end without regret.

Classroom of Anime & Reversi Blog

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Does that mean that Chabashira has been regretting his mistakes in the election for 11 years? No, in this case it was more than a mistake. Or perhaps it would be better to say that he kept wondering if he had made the right decision. - I didn't have the proper qualifications to graduate from Class A. But what was I supposed to do? Should I have firmly convinced him that I was leaving? Or should I have finished him when he told me he was leaving school? - There is no really correct answer for this particular test. It is probably impossible to get them to agree completely and completely. Unless, of course, you have a student who is completely inexperienced and unnecessary. However, this does not mean that there is no way forward. - If I had to say it, the cause of the defeat is that you did not see through that student's strategy. I think there was only one way left for Chabashira-Sensei's class to move to class A. - Wasn't seeing that the reason for my defeat? - When you tried to convince everyone to unanimously withdraw from the proposal, you decided to abandon it to you to leave open the possibility of going to class A. What you did was try to get a unanimous vote in favor first, and then you thought about it. Chabashira nodded, remembering those days. - If I had finished with him ... - Was the graduation exam easy enough to win without a good leader? Even though his class didn't expel anyone in the unanimous exam, they were defeated, right? - Yes. If we had fought as a team and were in good shape, we could have been even. - In other words, you cannot choose not to have a leader. On the other hand, they would not have been able to win Class A if someone else had been missing. The only way to do that was to be left with the option to support or oppose. They should have rejected all the temptations and incentives in their favor to agree and stay the course.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - But, even if it had remained, they were not in a position to be persuaded to vote against. That's what you just admitted Ayanokouji. - There is no need to persuade. Sensei's class was divided on the idea of winning. If the votes don't consolidate, defeat is inevitable as time runs out. When that happens, supporters will no doubt start trying to organize a vote against. What if it is a final vote in less than a minute, even if they resist? If they vote in favor, there is no time to expel the next individual student. The interval time is a fixed 10 minutes, but the maximum voting time is 60 seconds. If you adjust the time by deliberately delaying the vote, for example, you can reach the last vote without missing a minute. If you choose to agree, you won't be able to kick him out and lose 300, if you choose otherwise you get +50. With those options it is impossible to choose the first one. - You cannot turn your back on the reality of the situation, even if your head is spinning. You can run out of time and lose 300 points, or you can make sure you pass the exam and get 50 points to take the final exam with class A, even if you don't get the extra 100 points. There is only one conclusion. Of course, I'm not sure they could fill all 173 points. The students were obsessed with the immediate 100 points and not with winning. A leader who has known how to make good use of that psychology and promote it. But the strategy itself was a mistake. He couldn't see Chabashira's heart, nor the stubbornness of the opposite sex who had become his girlfriend. - I… If I had had a student like you back then, I would have… He was about to say that, but he closed his mouth. - No, it doesn't make sense now. You cannot go back in time. But let me tell you something, Ayanokouji. Sakura was a member of your close group of friends. Also, the girl felt something special for you. - You know me well. - I am still a teacher. I can often tell by the way my students look at me. He responds, not with pride, but with some disgust.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - Wasn't there a way to save Sakura and sacrifice someone else? - What do you think? At that moment, Horikita had indescribable power. There would not have been enough time to compete properly. - You are very insensitive. Didn't your heart hurt? - Of course, it would have been better if we hadn't had to expel Airi, I tried by all means to bring him to a unanimous decision, but I couldn't stop Kushida. I decided there would be no solution unless I chose to expel a student. If you just want it to be consistent, unanimity to object might have been a possibility. At that time, Kushida was so bothered by Horikita's presence that she accepted the option of staying at this school. That is not what I had in mind at all. He wasn't the only one who wanted to help a good friend. Now that it had happened, the only thing left to do was by method of elimination. At that time, we had no choice but to put our teammates in a superior position. Whether they knew how to study or not, whether they were good at sports or not. Communication skills. Insight and observation. Objective data, we just had to look at the OAA rankings. If you look at the system the school has created, you can see people who should drop out even if they don't like it. - Of course, there are some students who are not that different from Airi. However, if there is an argument between students on the same side, the friend will naturally be the one to defend it. But with Airi, the only major obstacle was Haruka. Even if they stand for election, you would only lose 10 minutes. - You mean they deliberately target their people as their target. - Your personality is also a deciding factor. Due to her personality, Airi is not good at dealing with people who do not want to resign or appealing to people not to vote for her. Any number of steps can be taken that suits them. A good friend, in this case Haruka, will never vote yes. However, the only exception to this is Airi's self-declaration. There is no way Airi would choose to stay in school and embarrass the class by sacrificing 300 class points. - You even knew the psychological aspect of Sakura.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - The general strength, the well-known people, the personality. And as a final impulse to be informed by someone important that Airi is the one who should be expelled. If I told him, he would understand. - Ayanokouji, You are ... - People can call a person who thinks like me, a demon, someone cruel. Nobody wants to play the role of being the villain. However, if necessary, it should be done without hesitation. It is an unavoidable part for the protection of the class organization. - In this school, expulsion is a constant threat in any situation. As a teacher at this school, I am prepared to accept it. Still, I will never be able to make a decision like you. Recognizing the weakness of his heart, Chabashira said: - I don't know you very well. But how many people have you thrown away? How many have I discarded? I never thought about it. Just as we do not remember the color and shape of each stone on the side of the road, those who study with us and those who teach us will disappear if they are incompetent. That is artificial selection. - Thank you for taking the time today Ayanokouji. I have long regretted the decisions I made in the past. But it turns out he didn't have time for that. As a teacher, I will do my best to guide the students in my class so that they can continue to fight without regrets. - It seems that through this special exam you have been able to say goodbye to the past. Chabashira's profile when I spoke to him, unlike before, was somewhat radiant. - That's not to say that I haven't dreamed of Class A before. I try not to think about it, but I'm still hopeful. I thought that I could fulfill a dream that I never had. And every time I did, I laughed at myself for being stupid and erased it from my memory. This is how it went on. He turned to me and gave me a smile I had never seen before. - I've made up my mind, Ayanokouji. I will make sure the class graduates Class A at all costs.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year SS-Karuizawa Kei - Reading Mood It was noon and another special exam had begun. As usual, I was focused on representing my character while scanning my surroundings. I was especially looking at Horikita-san, everything she said and did. It was something that Kiyotaka had ordered me to do, my only important task. - This is what I think. Our most ideal opponent for the last exam of the year is class B. In other words, Ichinose's class. There are 3 reasons why this is so. First, unlike Sakayanagi-san or Ryuuen-kun, there is a good chance that our fight with them is fair, a battle between our potentials. Even if the special exam itself turns out to be spotty, there is no need for us to worry about being fooled by some hidden schematics. Next they are currently Class B. We would get extra bonus class points because of that and it means we can take the lead and take the lead. And lastly, her firm stance is only for pretense. Our C-class and Ryuuen's D-class are already right behind them. They had an advantage over us for some time, but their trajectory has gone downhill. That's why I think they are the ideal opponent for us, don't you think? If it had been the same as before, I suppose I would never have really listened to it. She had never been confident, and it was also a pain to hear her babble over and over again. But now it was different. Kiyotaka believed in me and expected something from me. Just knowing this, my ability to focus soared through the roof. - If anyone objects to this, let me hear what you think. If not, if everyone doesn't mind selecting class B, please vote for them so we can get this done quickly. Horikita-san finished her speech quickly without a timeout.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year He knew it was time to intervene, but he had to be patient. At a time like this, it was standard procedure for Hirata-kun to back her up. - I agree with this too, Horikita-san. The bonus points that we could get by defeating Sakayanagi's A-class are huge, but it's hard to think of a tougher opponent. While we shouldn't underestimate the ties and solid fighting style of Ichinose's class, his class is, in my opinion, the best opponent we can hope for. He supported his proposal as if he could read the future one step ahead. Immediately, and with a clear purpose in mind, I raised my voice without hesitation. - Me too, me too. We don't get any bonus points from Ryuuen-kun's class, so it's not that tasty, and I guess we can't laugh if we lose to Sakayanagi-san. I said sounding like an idiot as I tried to instill the idea that any class other than class B wouldn't be tempting enough. This was something that even I could understand, so everyone must have realized what he had tried to convey. I saw several students nod and was relieved. I got chills when I felt the whole class come together. Horikita-san must have understood this as well as it seemed like she had nothing else to say. There was still a lot of time left, so we could talk the rest. The truth is, even if I wanted to talk to Kiyotaka, now I can't be a bother to him. Reading mood is quite an important skill. Yes, an important skill. I got up from my seat and went to talk to the girls who were sitting nearby to waste time. Yes, I only need to repeat this when necessary.

As I made my way to Kiyopon's room, I rushed into the convenience store and went for the fried food displayed by the cashier. I usually didn't have anything that greasy, but the comfort and calories made me give up. There were no other students here, so the payment went smoothly. I went back outside where Kiyopon had been standing and waited. He looked a bit surprised by the kibble in my hand, I think. Feeling embarrassed by that, I tried to cover it up with an excuse. - You know, I got talking to Airi over lunch today so I never got a chance to eat This was, well, an excuse, but also the truth. I really got a shock today. To think that Kiyopon was dating that Karuizawa-san of all people. I felt like someone had pulled the rug out from under my feet, as I had never shown any hint of dating anyone. Of course, my reaction cannot be compared to Airi's. - Sorry to cause you trouble I knew how my best friend, Airi, felt about him, and so did he, obviously. - No, that is not… People are free to love whoever they want and I know that cases of mutual love were in the minority. But still, he hoped that Airi and Kiyopon would one day come to love each other. … Or so I think. But there was a part of me that felt that something was wrong, but everything was well sealed. Finally, I finished the list of things I wanted to ask you about.

Heard nothing had been decided yesterday so this was a bit of a surprise. As we want to avoid any leak, only Horikita, myself and those who plan it are aware. So, let's have a cleaning coffee. " - M-maid coffee? Well, huh ...? Why am I not surprised? However, it is a bit unexpected. I never thought that a person like Horikita-san would recognize such an event, you know? - Probably indifferent to all the proposals, I think. From her unbiased point of view, we can just have a chance if we go to a cleaning cafe and she took it, I guess . Well, there are a lot of pretty girls in our class, I must admit. We could probably gain a lot from the adults who come to visit the school during the festival, but still, something feels a bit ... but I can see why it might work. I see, I see. So what is the reason you are telling me about this? - The truth is, after I found out about this, they asked me to take care of various things. Kiyopon going to manage a cleaning cafe? While his own image doesn't fit at all, I could see the reasoning behind letting him deal with it. I bet Horikita managed to pressure him and force him to do his homework. - She is quite a woman, as she is capable of putting you in this situation .

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year But since you're telling me this, it can only mean one thing ... - So I was hoping you and Airi could help out at the cafe? Of course, I suppose it would come down to this. As for me, the first thing that came to mind when I heard about the maid café was Airi. She was shy and did not have the confidence to speak, but this was a perfect opportunity for her. - If you had asked me this before this happened with Karuizawa-san, I would have said yes even though I have some qualms about it. I don't like to wear something like a cosplay in front of a lot of people, but I wouldn't have refused if a friend had asked me to. Your timing is pretty bad, you know? There were no guarantees that Airi would have been able to smile while participating in this festival with a broken heart. - It's a bit worrying that I can't blame you for it, Kiyopon. I said it before, but I believe that people are free to love whoever they want and that I can understand that there are things that you cannot talk about. Airi was also free to fall in love with you, and you were also free to reject her ... Truth be told, I need the courage to be able to talk to her about this later. But… yes, this may be a necessary thing. This was perhaps a stepping stone, a big step towards making her able to smile and move on. - I can't promise you anything. But once she's calmed down, I'll talk to her. In fact, if this could become an opportunity to get her back on her feet, I would try to speak to her right away. - Do you agree with that? He seemed a bit surprised by my answer, perhaps because he never thought I would accept.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year - That girl needs to accept reality sooner or later anyway. And even though I don't know about you, but having Karuizawa-san as her opponent doesn't mean she has to give up, you know? Even if you are excited about her, there is a possibility that she will reject you. ¿right? Yes, that is correct. Airi still has a chance. There is still a year and a half left. If he can hit a home run with the bases loaded at the end, it would be Airi's win.

Classroom of the elite volume 5 - Second year Author's words The end of 2021 is near. It doesn't matter a bit, but when I was cleaning my house, I read elementary and middle school graduation textbooks, but in elementary school I wrote that I wanted to be a game programmer and dreamed of an industry hard. In the high school graduation textbook he said he had no talent for drawing so he wanted to do some writing work (I would say so, but I'm too embarrassed to specify) All of that was actually an afterthought hour, and I was moved to tears when I discovered that a girl I was attached to had written in the section about the good things of junior high school that she had known "Kinugasa Syougo". Tears came to my eyes when I found it. There are things that are better to go unnoticed. It was a joke aside, the second quarter of the second year has started and we have a lot of great events coming up in the second quarter, especially the culture festival and the school trip, which will be a new story not seen in the first year. We hope you are interested in that area in the future. Thinking back to volume 5, this is the first volume in a long time where there are hardly any students from another school year. Although the story of the 1st and 3rd grade students will continue to unfold, in the end this is a volume that reminds us that the main focus will be on the same school year. Starting with the December issue of Monthly Comic Alive, the "Classroom of the Elite, 2nd Year" manga will be serialized by Sasane Shia. Thank you very much for your support. I would also like to express my deepest thanks to Yuyu Ichino for continuing to design the first-year version of the manga, and ask for your continued support of YouZitsu. And finally, in the final notes of the next volume 6, I have a thought that I have been holding in my mind for two years, so I hope I can get it out soon too! See you in early 2022, until next year !!

Scan words Well guys I guess that's it for the Classrooom of the Elite second-year volume 5 translation part. Some SS will be missing, but for now they are not available(from Cinnamon). Although that is something that is extra. I hope you liked the translation and the story, since it is getting very good, although with an expulsion of a person as innocent as Sakura, although that's the way things are. I want to thank everyone who has been supporting us for a long time, in this case translating the volume with Reversi Blog, which we work in a very excellent way, and therefore the translation was faster than normal and with good quality. I think it's a good thing for the Youzitsu Spanish community. Also to the people who helped me in the development of this volume. And well I hope that readers continue to support us in the same way.
