“I see.”

“Whether or not you truly forgot to tell us, or if it was an intentional slip, isn’t really the issue. The fact remains that one person is now being expelled from this school because of those unfair conditions.”

“So, what do you want me to do?”

“That’s why I’m here. I would like to undertake the appropriate steps to meet with the school, the direct cause of this inequality.”

"Aren't we unable to talk to the higher ups?", said Hashimoto.

“To tell them you disagree?”

“I just want to confirm with the appropriate people that they believe the school made the correct judgment.”

“That’s unfortunate. What you’ve said isn’t wrong, but I can’t allow you to do that. Sudou will be expelled. That decision cannot be overturned at this stage. Give up.”

"Kukuku her wording really is strange",said Ryueen.

"Fufufu that's right", added Sakayanagi.

She’d ignored my point, but her words remained logical. As I’d anticipated, her words always held some hidden meaning.

"Hidden meaning?",dumb students asked clearly confused meanwhile the smart students is listening carefully.

"Cannot overturned at this stage...."muttered Ichinose.

"What's wrong Honami-chan?",asked Shiranami.

"It's nothing Chihiro-chan", answered Ichinose.

“You said it ‘cannot be overturned at this stage.’ Which means there may be a way to overturn the decision.”

With that everyone understand what Ayanokouji mean by that but the question is 'How did he do it?','How did he prevent the expulsion?'

“Ayanokouji, I personally hold you in rather high regard. I’ve thought so since assigning this test. Obtaining the old test problems was certainly one correct solution. Such a notion goes beyond the range of what many would have considered. Furthermore, you distributed the old test problems to everyone in class and raised the average scores. I have to praise such a logical decision. Honestly, you did very well.”

"No one would think of that idea after all",said by a random.

“Kushida was the one who obtained the problems and distributed them. I didn’t really do anything.”

"Kukuku you really like playing dumb aren't you?", Ryueen said.

"Fufufu", Sakayanagi just laugh at Ayanokouji playing dumb.

“I understand why you don’t want word to get out, but don’t forget that there are senior students, too. I already know that you contacted a third-year student.”

Apparently, my actions were more conspicuous than I’d thought.

Everyone laugh at his failed attempt to play dumb.

“However, despite your bold move in obtaining those questions, you made a mistake in the end. That’s why your plan failed. If Sudou had memorized the material more thoroughly, he wouldn’t have failed in any subject, right? Honestly, why don’t you just give up and let Sudou get tossed out? Wouldn’t things be easier in the future?”

“Honestly, you’re probably right. However, I decided to lend a hand. I suppose it’s too early for me to give up. I’ve one thing left to try.”
