Practical teaching: Starting from the soul traveling through Dragon Garden

Chapter 122 Courage from my brother

Ryuen transferred four million points to Ichinose. This selfless favor will be repaid double by Ichinose in the future.

On the third day after the exam rules were announced, the Sudo trio seemed less nervous, and Ayanokouji concluded that they must have found a common target to attack.

It's just that Sudo's eyes have been a little evasive when he looks at me recently. It seems that the friendship established at the sports festival is not worth mentioning at all in the face of the crisis of expulsion.

Ayanokouji, a lonely man, seemed to be isolated in some way.

After class, Ayanokouji sat in his seat in a daze as usual. Normally, the Sudo trio would come over to talk to him, but today, for some reason, there was no one around Ayanokouji.

Horikita was still sitting in her seat reading a book at this time. Unless it was necessary, Horikita was not the kind of person who would often talk to Ayanokouji.

"Today is particularly boring."

Ayanokouji thought, although he always thought that the Sudo trio were boring and noisy, after getting used to it, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when he couldn't hear their voices.

Suddenly, Ayanokouji's cell phone vibrated. It was a message from Sato.

"Ayanokouji-kun, something terrible has happened. Someone in the class wants to criticize you!"

Ayanokouji replied: "That's normal, after all, I'm not that popular."

"No, no, someone wants you to drop out of school so that they can get you votes. You are in a very dangerous situation now!"

You can feel the girl's anxiety even through the screen.

"Okay, I understand. I'll pay attention to it."

"Yeah, okay. Hmm? Is that all? Ayanokouji-kun isn't going to do anything? Or don't you need my help?"

Sato couldn't help but admire Ayanokouji's calmness. Even when facing death, he didn't show any panic at all.

"The situation is indeed not optimistic. Sato, do you know who wants me to drop out? I don't remember offending anyone in class that would make him target me like this."

Sato gave an answer that was both expected and unexpected, and Ayanokouji told Horikita the news he got from Sato.

"I never knew you, Ayanokouji, were such a heavyweight in someone's heart."

Horikita also learned bad habits from Ryuuen and would occasionally make a joke or two.

Someone in the class has gathered more than half of the members to cast a vote of criticism against Ayanokouji, and claimed that whoever dares to leak the news will be the next dropout.

Sato is really under extraordinary pressure.

Tough measures are an absolute act of confidence. You should know that it is very dangerous to manipulate the exam behind the scenes. There is no doubt that forcibly collecting votes will arouse the dissatisfaction of students with a strong sense of justice. Students who do this will definitely be labeled as "evil". In addition, they use threatening means, and once exposed, they will become the target of public criticism.

The fact that Class D, which was not united to begin with, was able to gather so many people must have been due to the help of Kikyo Kushida. Although she was not the mastermind, she was also a member of the "evil" group as an accomplice.

In addition to Ayanokouji, Kouenji was also attacked and isolated. At this moment, Kouenji and Ayanokouji were in the same situation, and the only things they could rely on were the votes of appreciation from other classes.

Although Horikita thought of Ryuuen first, as they were a rival class, Horikita chose to communicate with Sakayanagi first, and obtained appreciation tickets from Sakayanagi to help Ayanokouji and Kouenji.

Protection will not help them pass the exam, and a classmate must be sacrificed. Horikita is still a little short of courage to make up her mind. There are still two days before the vote. In Ryuen's room, Horikita is preparing dinner as usual. However, when serving the rice, Ryuen added: "Give me one more bowl. Is my brother-in-law coming to visit today?"

"what?"

Before Horikita could react, the doorbell rang and Horikita Manabu arrived on time.

He stood at the door, somewhat confused as to why his sister was in Ryuuen's room and having dinner with him.

The girl with long black hair greeted timidly.

Ignoring his sister's greeting, Horikita Manabu asked Ryuen directly: "You called me last night and said there was something important. What did you want to say?"

"Actually, it's about this additional special exam."

While the two were talking, Suzune had already prepared the dishes and seat for Horikita Manabu.

"If it's a point issue, then don't ask me. Our class's points were used up in the last training camp. If you want to borrow points from me, it's a waste of time. Besides, I don't think you're the kind of person who's willing to spend points to solve this exam. If you're helping Suzune, my answer would be the same."

Horikita Manabu looked grim.

Ryuen didn't say anything, just looked at Suzune. Suzune didn't know her brother would come today, but since they talked about the exam, she immediately shook her head firmly. Suzune never expected her brother to lend a hand to her. From beginning to end, she only had one thought, which was to catch up with her brother and make peace with him. This was more important than anything else.

At this time, Ryuen stood up and left: "There are some things I can't do. Suzune, if you have any requests, take this opportunity to tell your brother. I can sense your hesitation recently."

After saying that, Ryuuen left the room, leaving time and space to the Horikita siblings. The food that had just been prepared was still steaming. Although Horikita Manabu cared very much about their current relationship, he could also see that his sister had something to say to him.

Finally, Lingyin only uttered a simple sentence: "Please - give me courage!"

My cold, aloof and arrogant sister chose this school in order to pursue me, but now she says something unexpected.

In fact, Horikita couldn't face this test head-on. She was well aware of the actions of the various groups in the class. If she allowed the situation to continue, it would lead to a big mistake.

In order to be able to bear the darkness after this exam, Suzune sat in front of Horikita Manabu.

"Before I talk about this, I have a question for you. What do you think of this school?"

The totally irrelevant response made Suzune stunned for a moment. It was difficult for her to change her mood at once, so Horikita Manabu saw Suzune stuttering while following her heart to tell her brother who was so close yet so far away: "Although I can't say that I am happy staying here, at least I am not bored."

As if he had received a satisfactory answer, Horikita Manabu smiled inwardly.

"It seems that you have grown up. Normally, you focus too much on yourself and ignore the surroundings. It is because of your broadened vision that you are gradually getting rid of the boring life."

The sudden change in attitude made Lingyin a little overwhelmed. In her impression, her brother was a person who always demanded strictness of her and had always been her goal.

"What do you think of Ryuuen and Ayanokouji?"

Horikita Manabu showed a stern expression, and at this moment he closed his eyes and listened to Suzune's answer.
