Practical teaching: Starting from the soul traveling through Dragon Garden

Chapter 345: Treatment of Kikyo
After Kikyo left, Horikita began her strategic deployment. Although Gaoyuanji was also in the classroom, he was not considered for this exam. Due to the agreement made between Horikita and him during the previous uninhabited island exam, Horikita not only had to protect Gaoyuanji, but also could not control him. This was a loss of the class's highest combat power.

But Horikita hadn't given up yet. Before deciding on the class's strategy, Horikita took the lead in asking for Gaoyuandera's opinion: "Gaoyuandera-san, although I promised you before that I wouldn't ask you to obey my orders, it shouldn't be a problem for me to get to know your thoughts on this sports festival, right?"

"You've become more smooth-talking than before, Horikita. I'm not afraid to tell you that I'm still a bit lacking in numbers, so my goal for this sports festival is to get first place."

Gaoyuanji showed his signature smile, as if he was sure of victory. After hearing his speech, the whole class felt reassured. Although Gaoyuanji would definitely not follow Horikita's plan, as long as Gaoyuanji participated, he would win a considerable number of points for the class.

Horikita believed what Gaoyuanji said, and believed that Gaoyuanji really had shortcomings, and was not just eyeing the transfer ticket.

That class transfer ticket was not of much value to Gaoyuanji. The remaining three classes did not seem to be able to accept Gaoyuanji. After all, neither Ryuuen nor Katsuragi, nor the newly appointed Himeno, would accept a person who could not be commanded and controlled. After transferring to another class, he would most likely be sacrificed by them and become the next person to be expelled. But as long as he stayed in Horikita's class, Gaoyuanji would not only have freedom, but also have Horikita's protection. That class transfer ticket was meaningless to Gaoyuanji, or the matter of transferring classes was meaningless to Gaoyuanji.

After being promoted to the second grade, no matter what the reason, Gaoyuan Temple became active. This is an indisputable fact. Horikita couldn't help but ask: "Gaoyuan Temple, are you really not interested in being promoted to Class A?"

Gao Yuan Si did not answer and began to indulge in self-admiration.

The problem of Gaoyuan Temple was solved, but everyone did not start discussing the sports festival. After all, there was still a long time before the sports festival, and now there was a pressing issue.

"Who was the one who voted against it in the end, Horikita, you should have investigated it clearly."

Hirata raised this question. After all, everyone wanted to know the answer, but no one dared to ask it, so Hirata had to bite the bullet and ask Horikita.

Horikita looked at Hirata with a look as if he was saying the thief is crying "stop thief". After all, Hirata is a good guy, just like Ichinose. He is the one in the class who most hopes that no one will drop out, so he is the most suspicious.

At this moment, someone's palms were already sweating in the dark. If Horikita really knew who it was, or if Horikita didn't know who it was but gave a name, then this person would have no place in this class.

Horikita shook her head: "Everyone, don't be suspicious anymore. The person who voted against it was Ayanokouji."

Everyone opened their eyes wide, totally unable to comprehend. Ayanokouji herself was stunned for a moment, and for the first time she felt like a widow being slandered.

But Ayanokouji soon understood: "The photo is real, but Kikyo did not collude with other classes. Due to guilt, I voted against it at the last minute. I am really sorry."

Ayanokouji lowered his head symbolically, but there was no expected contempt, because everyone except Ayanokouji and Horikita received an email after the exam. The email contained photos of many people in the class with other class leaders such as Ryuuen, Sakayanagi, Ichinose, and Katsuragi.

So it is obvious that taking a group photo does not mean that Kikyo has definitely betrayed the class or had any kind of deal with them.

Everyone realized that Kikyo might have been framed by Ayanokouji, so they didn't have much hostility towards Kikyo. However, what Horikita said was true. Kikyo did make a big mistake in junior high school, so everyone kept their distance from Kikyo, fearing that she would expose herself all of a sudden. After all, she held many secrets.

"So the person who sent the email was also you, Ayanokouji?"

Now it makes sense. Ayanokouji prepared photos of most of the class and other class leaders. Whoever wants to drop out of school will be singled out and framed by Ayanokouji. When they are safe, Ayanokouji will send emails to everyone to explain that the other party did not actually betray the class.

Neither the bad guys nor the good guys are complete.

"He is indeed a gloomy man. How disgusting."

I don't know which girl muttered something under her breath, and then Sato glared at her. Gaoyuan Temple watched everything that happened in the class with a playful look, but he didn't intend to disrupt the good show between Horikita and Ayanokouji.

Sato looked unhappy but didn't say anything. She was the person closest to Ayanokouji at the time, and Ayanokouji finally voted in favor. She saw it clearly. Although she didn't know why Ayanokouji was now defending that bitch Kikyo, as a girlfriend, Sato was not stupid enough to expose her boyfriend at this time, but she was really unhappy.

After this incident, one can imagine how bad Ayanokouji's reputation in the class will be, but Ayanokouji likes to be alone, and he is strong enough so he doesn't need to worry about being bullied. Horikita made this decision after careful consideration.

"Although Ayanokouji's actions have caused irreparable damage to the class, we have saved Kikyo Kushida. We have only returned to the starting point. We are fully capable of climbing up again."

Shinohara stood up at this time: "Horikita, what do you mean by this? Saving Kushida-san? Didn't you want to expel her? Is your attitude now that you want to win her over?"

Horikita nodded. From the very beginning, Horikita's attitude towards Kikyo was to win her over. The reason why Kikyo wanted to expel her when the whole class took the exam unanimously was also out of helplessness. After all, compared with Kikyo, Ayanokouji was obviously more valuable. Horikita had to give up Kikyo in order to keep Ayanokouji at that time. However, she did not expect that someone would vote against it and let both of them stay. Since Kikyo was not expelled, Horikita naturally still wanted to fight for her. After all, Kikyo's ability was still worthy of recognition.

"I object. Kikyo is too dangerous. What if she wants to ruin the class again? She should be expelled! It's all because of that damn Ayanokouji, otherwise she would have left by now!"

Shinohara reacted strongly, it seemed that Kikyo had mastered an incredible secret. Many girls agreed with Shinohara, and for a while, more and more people wanted Kikyo to drop out of school.

But Hirata stood on Horikita's side. He was the one who suffered the most from voting in favor. Now that there was a chance to keep Kikyo, he was no longer silent: "Everyone, Kikyo just made a mistake before. We should give her a chance. With Kikyo-san here, we will definitely be able to get promoted to Class A faster. I don't want to see another tragedy like Yamamon-san. Everyone calm down."

Hirata has considerable prestige among both boys and girls. For a while, everyone was divided over whether to accept Kikyo, and the final decision fell into Horikita's hands.

"I will convince Kushida-san to use her for the class."

However, Shinohara did not agree with Horikita's words: "What if you can't do it? What if Kikyo repeats the atrocities in junior high school?"

"I will be responsible."

Horikita ended the topic with a resounding voice.

After the class meeting, Sato followed Ayanokouji and asked, "Are you going to look for Horikita now?"

Ayanokouji was still trying to find a reason to get rid of Sato, but he didn't expect that Sato actually saw through his purpose first.

"No."

Ayanokouji decided to cover it up.

"I'll be waiting for you in your dormitory, come back early."

Sato turned around and left, as if he didn't hear Ayanokouji's "no".

And Horikita was waiting for Ayanokouji not far away.
