As if he had finally given up resistance, Chabashi Sae put down the ballot box in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's right. This special exam was ordered directly by the principal, without even going through Chairman Sakayanagi, and the original rules were not like what they are now."
"What is that like?" Wu Yi became interested.
"It's not a big change." Chabashira Sae shook his head slightly, "We just changed the recommendation votes for other classes to criticism votes. Because this rule is so unreasonable, it is likely to cause the four first-year classes to collapse at the same time in an instant, so we as teachers collectively protested and finally changed it to what it is now."
"Ha, I knew it."
Obviously, it was an extremely dangerous rule, and if one was not careful, it would lead to the core leader of his class being killed, but Wu Yi was actually quite happy.
At least Chabashira Sae couldn't be happy.
"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving. It will take time to collect the votes, and this exam is expected to be finished in the morning."
"Yeah, thank you for your hard work, teacher."
As if he had received some good news, Wu Yi decisively left the voting room after flattering the emperor a little.
Letting all classes vote to criticize each other? This is really Ayanokouji Atsuomi's style.
That's right, if you want to expel a specific person in your class, it may be difficult just relying on the criticism votes in the class. Unless that person has done something that angers everyone, it is almost impossible to expel a person who has done no fault for no reason.
Especially for someone like Ayanokouji Kiyotaka who has done nothing and has no social skills since entering school, if Wu Yi openly named him and said that he wanted to vote for him, I'm afraid more than 70% of the people in the class would have question marks on their faces.
Because they may not have even heard of this name, and even if they have heard it, they can't remember the corresponding face.
But in comparison, it would be much easier if he could cast critical votes on other classes. Let's not talk about Ichinose for now, but as long as Wu Yi wanted, the thirty or so votes from the Sakayanagi faction in Class C would all belong to him, which would be enough to send away a certain masterpiece.
What a pity, what a pity...
No, it’s not a pity.
Walking in the corridor of the teaching building back to the classroom, the smile on Wu Yi's face grew wider and wider.
Rather, it is precisely because of this that it is particularly proved that you, who can ask why the betrayers are dealt with first in this exam, are a fake... Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.
You are not even one-tenth as good as your father.
Volume 283: Chapter : Dropouts
It doesn't take much time to collect the votes.
Soon, the head teachers of each first-grade class arrived in the classroom with the final voting results of their respective classes.
First up is Class C, Grade 1.
The moment Mashima Tomoya entered the classroom, he looked towards the silver-haired girl sitting by the window in the front row.
Noticing the homeroom teacher's gaze, Arisu Sakayanagi smiled and nodded in greeting.
Mashima Satoshi did not respond, but walked straight to the podium and put down the documents in his hand.
"Next, the results of the additional assessment will be announced. First, the person who received the most praise votes is... Sakayanagi, it's you. The final result is 79 positive votes."
"No... huh?"
When hearing his name called, Arisu Sakayanagi was already prepared to stand up and give his usual speech, saying "I didn't expect everyone to support me so much, I'm really grateful."
But when she heard the subsequent seventy-nine votes, she was stunned and the rest of the words were stuck in her throat.
Seventy-nine votes. Remember, there are only forty people in a class. That’s almost the number of votes from two classes.
According to Arisu Sakayanagi's initial estimate, she thought that excluding the few remaining members of the Katsuragi faction in the class, she should be able to get around thirty-five or thirty-six votes.
But what the hell is this seventy-nine votes?
It was probably the first time in history that he saw an expression of astonishment on the face of the silver-haired girl in his class who always had an unpredictable smile, so Mashima Tomoya kindly explained.
"Sakayanagi, you received a total of thirty-six votes from the class and forty-three votes from outsiders, a total of seventy-nine."
"..."
Still can't understand.
Is it equivalent to saying that more than one class of people from other classes have voted for you as a foreign aid?
Arisu Sakayanagi was completely confused, but at the same time he began to wonder who would do this.
No, to be precise, who can do such a thing.
The result of her thinking was obvious. There was no doubt that even looking at the entire first grade, there was only one person who could do this.
"Mashima-sensei..."
"Sakayanagi, if you have any questions, you can wait until I finish reading them all. I will answer them one by one then. Is that ok?"
Sakayanagi Arisu had just started talking when Mashima Satoshi stopped her from continuing and gave her a questioning look.
After a little thought, the silver-haired girl nodded.
"Got it. Sorry to interrupt your reading, Mr. Majima."
"fine."
Calmly expressing that he didn't take it seriously, Mashima Tomoya continued reading out the test results.
"I will announce who has received the most criticism votes. You should all know that the person whose name is announced with the most criticism votes will be expelled, so please be prepared. If you are unfortunately named, please pack your bags and come with me to the office."
The classroom suddenly became silent. Everyone concentrated and held their breath, but no one prayed.
For the students in Class C, this was not the scene where the lottery winners were announced.
Who will get protection points and who will be carried away on the spot had already been determined before the final vote, and now it is just a formality.
"The last one received thirty-six votes of criticism..."
There was a moment of silence, and a rare flash of pity flashed across Mashima Tomoya's eyes, but out of his duty as a class teacher, he still reported the name.
"Totsuka Yahiko."
"..."
"..."
These four simple and clear words echoed in the silent classroom.
Almost no one showed any surprise on their faces, because they cast their own votes and they knew best what the specific results would be.
Kōhei Katsuragi, who had originally closed his eyes and was about to silently accept the outcome of his exit, suddenly opened his eyes.
He almost thought he had heard it wrong, and turned to look at his good friend Totsuka Yahiko, only to see that he was also looking at him with a confused expression.
"Katsuragi... Brother Katsuragi... Hey, why?"
The tone is completely out of context, and it is obvious that such a result was not caused by the parties involved.
There is only one reason why this would happen.
"Asshole, what's going on?!"
Katsuragi slammed his fist on the table and struggled to stand up.
"Teacher, this must be a mistake. I am the one who should drop out..."
“Nothing went wrong.”
Mashima Tomoya replied calmly.
"Thirty-six votes of criticism. It seems that Katsuragi-san voted for you. He is such a nice person." Arisu Sakayanagi also said with a smile.
At this point the truth couldn't be clearer.
There are a total of thirty-seven people from the Sakayanagi faction in Class C. Excluding Sakayanagi himself, the remaining thirty-six people voted for Sakayanagi Arisu, while Totsuka Yahiko was criticized by all the Sakayanagi faction, which offset Katsuragi's one vote of approval, so there were thirty-six votes against him.
"Wait, Sakayanagi! Shouldn't I be the one to drop out of school?!"
Katsuragi is still arguing for Totsuka Yahiko.
"You made it very clear at the time that you wanted me to drop out of school!"
"Oh? It seems like that, but it's not true."
Sakayanagi Arisu's smile was gentle but not timid.
"The reason is very simple. Totsuka-san has not brought any benefits to Class C, while you, Katsuragi-san, are smart, have well-developed motor nerves, and have a calm and composed personality. This assessment is to eliminate useless people. Wouldn't it be stupid to eliminate outstanding talents?"
Of course, it is not just that. The biggest purpose is to make the remaining remnants of the Katsuragi faction and some unsteady elements in the Sakayanagi faction understand that if they dare to be loyal to Katsuragi, their fate will be the same as Totsuka Yahiko.
Arisu Sakayanagi added in his mind.
At this moment, her cell phone on the desk suddenly vibrated, the screen lit up, and a new message appeared on the screen.
The girl lowered her eyes and took a look, then immediately curled up the corners of her mouth.
On the other side, Tomoya Majima was already arranging the follow-up matters for Yahiko Totsuka.
"I'll take Totsuka to the office first. If you want to ask me anything, just call me later."
Now that expulsion is a foregone conclusion, staying in the classroom will only add to the sadness. This is Majima's last concern for Totsuka.
Sakayanagi Arisu just smiled back at this.
"Okay, don't worry about it, Majima-sensei."
About ten minutes later, as the class voting test came to an end, the students who announced the disbandment left the classroom one after another.
Arisu Sakayanagi came to the first floor of the teaching building alone. At this time, the names of students who had received protection points and those who had dropped out of each class had been written on signs and announced in the lobby on the first floor.
In Class D, Ryuen Sho received protection points and Tokito Yuya dropped out.
In Class C, Arisu Sakayanagi received protection points, and Yahiko Totsuka dropped out.
In Class B, Ichinose Honami received protection points and no one dropped out.
In Class A, Kikyo Kushida received protection points and Hideo Sotomura dropped out.
Why Kushida Kikyo?
Just as the girl was wondering why the expected name did not appear on the sign, a pair of hands rested on her shoulders.
"Why, you feel surprised?"
￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥
In the original version, it was Manabe who dropped out during the voting exam in Ryuen's class. Ryuen had already abdicated, and Manabe was extremely arrogant in the class, and then he was sacrificed.
But here, because Ryuen did not abdicate, Manabe could not act arrogantly, so he was not sacrificed.
As for Shi Ren, he was the one in the Ryuuen class who voted to agree to the expulsion of one person in the class in exchange for 100 class points when Sakura Airi dropped out of school in the second grade. He was a staunch anti-Ryuuen leader in the Ryuuen class.
It's just that the name is really weird. I was dumbfounded when I wrote this, because there is also a Tokito-wo in the Ichinose class, and I thought there was some huge bug.
Later I checked and found out, oh, one is Tokito Yuya and the other is Tokito Katsumi, MDZZ.
Volume 284: Chapter Acting Chairman Yue Cheng
Since it had been a while since the exams ended, all the first-year students who had come to take the additional special exams on the weekend had already left, and the entire teaching building was empty.
The same is true even in front of the sign in the lobby on the first floor.
Wu Yi was standing behind Sakayanagi Arisu, his hands gently placed on her shoulders, his eyes looking over the girl's head to the black background and white letters on the sign in front of him.
"Let's be honest. Even if I didn't give you those 40-odd foreign votes, you should still be able to take first place in the class, right?"
"Since you all know this, why are you still doing this?"
Arisu Sakayanagi leaned back a little, raised his face and smiled delicately.
"And I also want to ask you what you mean by this. You clearly have 40 foreign aid votes in your hand, but you don't keep them for yourself and instead vote for me. What are you thinking?"
"...Ah, are you angry?"
Noticing the slight difference in the girl's tone, Wu Yi acted surprised.
"is a bit."
Sakayanagi Arisu said this, with a strong look of displeasure emerging in his purple eyes.
"You knew there would be a final match, but you deliberately gave up your protection points. You're not going to use this as an excuse to let me go easy on you, right? I'll be angry if I do."
"Tsk tsk, look at you, Arisu, what are you thinking about?"
Wu Yi raised his palms from both sides, placed his palms against the girl's tender cheeks and gently squeezed them towards the middle.
"Of course it can't be for such a boring reason. If I really need to explain, um... Arisu, do you remember when I was a kid and I practiced with bamboo swords?"
"remember."
