Before this special exam started, there was one class that was considered a 'sure thing' to be cleared by every teacher.
On the other hand, it was also foreseen that if the class cleared the exam without a struggle, there would be a concern that they would fall back from the future A-class competition. That class was Class B, where Ichinose was enrolled.
Task (5) - Instead of one classmate being expelled, you get 100 class points.
(If the vote is unanimous in favour, identify and vote on the student who will be expelled.)
Choices :
Agree
Disagree
Ichinose and the others, who had reached the last task in the early hours, had finished the first vote and were waiting for the results. There was no sign of any anxiety or agitation anywhere.
Except for one person.
Kanzaki prayed as he stared at everyone, excluding himself, who had already voted. He strongly hopes that the outcome of the vote will be a bit of a split vote.
"...... I'll announce the results then."
Chie Hoshinomiya operated her tablet with a somewhat disappointed expression on her face.
While everyone was watching, the results were displayed.
Results of the first round of voting:
1 in favour
39 opposed
After realizing the worst possible outcome he could have imagined, Kanzaki closes his eyes.
The overwhelming majority of votes against the proposal came as no surprise to the students in class B, of course. The reason was that they had no doubt that a unanimous vote in 'Oppose' would be passed as a matter of course. This is symbolized by the fact that they felt nothing unusual about the fact that the vote was in favour.
"Who said yes? You pressed the wrong button!"
Without a sense of danger, Kanzaki turned around to see Shibata sitting in front of him.
Yes, they do not take into account any possibility that this one vote is a yes vote with a clear intention. Everyone in the class, not just Shibata, has the same perception. Knowing this, Kanzaki felt an uncontrollable anger welling up inside him.
Up until now, Kanzaki has done his best to quietly assist his classmates with their wishes. However, they can't continue to fight just to protect our friends in any situation. Because of his position as an advisor, Kanzaki felt this concern more strongly than anyone else.
"I don't think we'll be discussing this, for now, so we'll just go along with it until the next vote "
Lack of sense.
A mindset that assumes that there is no such thing as a student who prioritizes class points over classmates. Kanzaki could not continue to endure in silence as he saw this.
"Wait a minute, ....... It's true that we could always pass a unanimous vote. But can we really be sure that continuing to choose to protect our classmates is the right thing to do?"
Interrupting Shibata's words, Kanzaki stood up after 'calmly' but forcefully tapping on the desk.
