Oreki Houtarou's Strength-First Classroom

This is Ryuji Kanzaki from the class.

If Ichinose-san is the class president, then Kanzaki-san is the deputy class president.

Unlike the extroverted Honami Ichinose who uses her affinity, popularity, and charisma to make everyone recognize her, Kanzaki-san is more introverted.

Now, however, he must work hard for this class as well.

In other words, this may be the most valuable thing he can do.

There is a great atmosphere in this class.

If it's outside, it must be very comfortable.

Everyone is very loving and there are no arguments or anything like that.

but.

This is Yusheng High School now, and it cannot continue like this.

Along the way, everyone was getting beaten.

Class A is getting farther and farther away, and even Class C and Class D have their own merits.

Just their class couldn't move forward.

He thought about this.

He also tried hard.

He wants to do what Ichinose and the others can't do. Ichinose and the others won't become evil, but he can become evil, such as recruiting spies from other classes and so on.

I hope that I can gain an advantage in class confrontation at a certain time.

However, after experiencing the forest test, he found that his struggle had become meaningless.

Because it can't be beaten at all.

Can't beat Class A.

He spent money to support spies in both Class C and Class D, and among them, the final result of the exam for Class D also appeared yesterday.

The list of students who will drop out has been decided.

From his sense of smell, he discovered that this was definitely not the idea of ​​the students in Class D, but the control of other classes, most likely the students of Class A.

In other words.

What he fell into and what he wanted to do was something that Class A already had, or even something better and stronger that Class A could do.

In addition, Class A also has the unfathomable Oreki-san, and Sakayanagi-san who often eats with him.

So Kanzaki Ryuji couldn't help but feel sad about the future of Class B.

Because, to sum up, Class B no longer has the attack power to charge upward.

rather say.

In the end, I might just be able to hold on to my position in Class B and graduate.

And this was the result he accepted after thinking about it for two nights.

but.

Some things still have to be said.

after all.

There is no hope of rushing to A, but in this state, maintaining class B may also be in crisis.

so.

Everyone must be more awakened.

Keep your position in Class B.

so.

"Although I don't like this exam, I will accept it. At the same time, I have no objection to the exam plan decided by everyone."

Kanzaki-san stood up.

"but."

"Please remember that too."

"We spent these 20 million points, which means that the points we saved will be squandered."

"Then, when we encounter dangerous exams, we will have no barrier to resist the risk." Kanzaki said. "So I hope everyone will think deeply about the significance of this 20 million."

In other words, is 20 million points more important or a companion?

"But if it's not to cope with this unreasonable exam, then why do we still need to save points?" However, a classmate said this.

"Yeah. I don't want to vote for my classmate to drop out of school." Some students said the same.

"If, if I hadn't been kicked out at the sports festival but had gotten points, maybe it wouldn't be as miserable as it is now -" Someone else said this.

This is Sunny Shibata-san.

But after the sports festival, his condition became not so sunny.

Often autistic.

"Oh no, Shibata-san, we are not talking about what happened at that time, and there was no solution at that time. We couldn't imagine that someone would cheat."

"So don't take it too seriously." The classmates then began to comfort Shibata.

And Kanzaki-san has already sat down.

Because he has done what he can do.

Spend 20 million to protect your classmates and let everyone understand the weight of this choice.

In other words.

Those who stay are worth 20 million to them.

Then even if you face the temptation of other classes, you can resist it.

Because it is impossible for other classes to offer more than 20 million points to buy people, but their own class is willing to spend 20 million to protect everyone.

In this case, the only advantage of Class B can be protected, which is that there will be no spies and it is a cohesive group.

…

at last.

Arrive at first grade class A.

"Temporarily borrowing ten minutes from the class meeting."

After arriving in the classroom early in the morning, Oreki-san took away Mr. Majima’s desk.

But Mashima-sensei was not like Chabashira. The podium was taken away and he sat in the other person's chair.

Instead, he stood aside with his hands folded.

Oreki-san said.

"First of all, this test is unreasonable."

"But since I have become a student of this school, I have accepted the materials paid by this school, and I have the advantage of being assigned to Class A."

"Then what we can do is follow the rules and get the job done."

"So take this test, pick the first one, and then pick the last one."

"At the same time, judging from the rules, I don't think this exam is just a hurried exam that suddenly came out."

"More like a beginning."

"Because although the exam will produce dropouts, the first place in each class will also be selected to receive [protection]."

"In the history of this school, no one has ever been able to collect 20 million points alone and then get the reward of skipping a class or being exempted from the penalty of dropping out of school."

"so."

"Is it really reasonable for the school to launch four such quotas at once to exempt students from dropping out?"

"So, my preference is that the next exams in schools will be exams that take away those four [protections]."

"Then choosing who will be the target of [protection] and then directing everyone for the next exam need to be carefully considered," Oreki said.

In other words, is Oreki-san thinking about the overall situation?

And this is true.

It seems that most of the classes and students are thinking about dropping out last.

However, for this class, the next exam also needs attention.

rather say.

If [protection] exists, then the risk of the next exam will also become very high.

You really have to be careful.

And Oreki-san said,

"So, my proposal is consistent with what I made with Sakayanagi-san a few days ago, and there will be no changes."

"This time, the vote of appreciation from our class is given to Sakayanagi-san."

"The one who dropped out chose Totsuka-kun."

"This is my proposal, and I hope everyone can abide by it."

"Sakayanagi-san will lead us to make contributions in the next exam." Oreki-san said.

"Alas... I have been nominated." The little cutie whose name was called also stood up and showed her determination in cooperation, "However, if everyone chooses me, as a student of Class A, then I will remain in Class A Isn’t it a matter of course that we have the advantage?”

That is to say.

The mangosteen is full of energy.

"..." Katsuragi.

Katsuragi-san is silent now.

Although he is a conservative and stable person, since Oreki pointed out the value of [protection], I am afraid that the score in the next exam will not be too low.

The current class exceeds Class B by about 1,200 points.

This was an advantage that he was not confident he could completely hold on to.

So he remained silent.

The other students who were paying attention to him understood that the first place in Class A had already been selected.

So now that the first place has been chosen.

"And the last one is here." Oreki-san added.

"So out of humanity, I suggest that everyone in the class pay 10,000 points to those who are expelled."

"Generally speaking, when third graders graduate, the school will purchase the students' points and convert them into cash in proportion."

"For those who are expelled, their mobile phones and remaining personal points will be recovered."

"So, I suggest that before you drop out of school, Totsuka-san, you can entrust your points to Katsuragi-san."

"When you graduate from third grade, Katsuragi-san will be responsible for converting these points into cash."

"At that time, Totsuka-san, you can ask Katsuragi-san to cash it in." Oreki Houtarou said. "Or, don't you believe in Katsuragi-san's character?"

"..."

Don’t you believe in Katsuragi’s character?

Do you believe in Katsuragi-san’s character?

Of course.

Because this is the person he follows.

but.

If this happens, doesn't it mean that he is about to drop out of school?
