Strategy! Welcome to the Free Haremism Classroom

Horikita's tone was no longer cold, and he looked at Yamauchi with a hint of teasing.

"So what! There's no point in thinking about it anymore. Everything has been decided. You should be prepared for it now!"

Yamauchi nervously defended himself.

"Is it a done deal..."

Horikita repeated this sentence in a mocking tone, and then spoke loudly.

"What an excellent mentality, but not everyone is as steady as you. This matter is related to tomorrow's exam. It doesn't make sense for everyone to stay, especially you, Yamauchi Haruki."

"I?"

The moment he was named, Yamauchi felt as if he was falling into an icy cave, but he still pretended to be calm. He remembered Sakayanagi's instructions and sat down reluctantly.

"Okay, okay, what's going on."

Horikita took a step and walked towards the podium.

"Regarding the start of tomorrow, I would like to express my opinion."

Hirata seemed to sense something and stood up immediately.

"What do you want to say, Horikita-san?"

Horikita glanced at Hirata, then swept his gaze across the classmates, taking in everyone's expressions.

"I have been thinking about a question these days. For this exam, who should stay and who should leave? What is the correct answer? I have been hesitant, but today, I finally got the answer."

"Wait a minute! Horikita-san, no one in this class should drop out!"

There was an urgency in Hirata's tone, and it was obvious that he anticipated what might happen next. For Hirata, who valued class above all else, this became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Horikita didn't argue with him, but just continued talking on her own.

"I have thought about this exam for a long time. Although it is an exam for dropouts, there was no time for discussion. In the end, it turned into a class war where cliques formed to control the vote. In the end, this has become an exam for dropouts not for the good of the class, but a funny scene where whoever has good popularity can control others to drop out, right?"

“Pah…Pah pah pah.”

After hearing this, Kouenji clapped his hands.

"You're like a completely different person now. You finally said this from the perspective of the class. I was surprised and I rarely agree with you."

Kouenji looked at Horikita with an amused smile on his face.

"So, what do you want to do?"

"Since everyone is still undecided about who should drop out, let me make the judgment and nominate the dropouts."

"Wait...wait a minute, Horikita-san, you're going to confuse the class!"

Hirata tried to stop Horikita from speaking, looking like he didn't want to face it.

Horikita looked at Hirata coldly.

"Will it really cause chaos in the class? I can understand your feelings of putting the class first, but please face the reality. This is an exam that will definitely cause people to drop out. Or can you come up with 20 million points to save that classmate? If you can't do it, please look straight ahead and handle the selection properly to minimize the loss to the class, instead of eliminating a person who is useful to the class because of frivolous canvassing!"

Horikita looked at Hirata who sat down dejectedly and did not speak again.

So Horikita also turned her attention back to the class.

"For this special exam, I think Yamauchi Haruki should be expelled."

Under everyone's gaze, Horikita confidently read out a person's name.

"Why should it be me, Horikita!"

Upon hearing this, Yamauchi immediately slammed the table and stood up to resist.

Although he had expected this, Yamauchi did not expect Horikita to point the finger at him directly without any hesitation.

"I have good reasons. First of all, your performance in class was extremely unsatisfactory."

"No way! My test scores have always been better than Kento's!"

"I was surpassed this time."

"Well... even if it's just this time!"

"Even if you compare your academic level to Sudou-san, you are obviously inferior in terms of physical fitness."

"That's about right, Kanji! He got last place in the exam this time!"

It was only natural that Yamauchi would resist resolutely.

Any student would risk their life to be treated as a target here.

"There are indeed some students with similar academic abilities in the class. You are right."

"Yes, right! Just let me go, please..."

"But even compared to your peers, you are still a little behind. Considering your class attitude, tardiness, absences, and their respective strengths and weaknesses, you are the last in terms of class importance. This is the conclusion I came to yesterday."

"How is that possible! I won't accept it, it's complete nonsense! You are obviously taking revenge on me for choking you just now, right?"

Yamauchi's emotions became more and more agitated, fully expressing his grievances and struggles.

Looking at Yamauchi who was acting pretentiously, Horikita sighed imperceptibly.

"That's right. After all, how could one willingly drop out of school just for these reasons?"

"Really? You said it yourself! How can I accept it?"

Yamauchi seemed to have found a loophole in Horikita's words and fought back desperately.

"So... I have another reason."

Horikita looked at the stunned Yamauchi and didn't give him a chance to speak.

"In this exam, you disguised yourself as a weak person and asked Kushida-san to persuade everyone to let Ayanokouji drop out, right? You thought that Ayanokouji was about the same strength as you, and you only needed to get help from Kushida, who was not good at rejecting others, and you could successfully survive. Am I right, Yamauchi-san?"

Chapter 232 Civil strife

Exposed...

Yamauchi took a step back without leaving a trace.

As Horikita said this, the classroom was swept by a frenzy of lively discussion.

Although there were indeed many students who were asked by Kikyo to control the black votes, they did not know that the real mastermind behind the scenes was actually Yamauchi Haruki.

"You said that Yamauchi was controlling the votes to eliminate Ayanokouji-san?"

Hirata looked at Horikita in disbelief, but when he couldn't get an answer from Horikita's expression, he looked at Yamauchi.

"Is it true, Yamauchi-san?"

Although Yamauchi did not give an answer, Hirata had already gotten the answer from the subtle expression on his face, so he smiled bitterly and said nothing more, just sat down quietly.

"So, Yamauchi-san, you don't plan to make an excuse for what I said? Or do you just not know how to defend yourself given the facts?"

"What...what are you talking about! Don't accuse me wrongly. How did I become the one who was trying to win votes?"

Yamauchi looked at Kikyo who was looking at him, made up his mind and pointed at Kikyo and said.

"It's her! It was Kikyo who invited me to join! She was the one who asked me to vote for Ayanokouji so that he would drop out of school!"

Faced with Yamauchi's frame-up, Kikyo simply put in all her superficial efforts.

She first looked at Yamauchi in astonishment, then tears as big as beans began to slide down her face, and she looked at Yamauchi with a pitiful look on her face.

"How could it be... You're too much, Yamauchi-san! You were the one begging me to help you, and I agreed to it out of weakness..."

After saying that, Kikyo fell directly on the table, buried her head hard and made sobbing sounds.

At this moment, the truth has nothing to do with it anymore. Yamauchi has become the person who bullies Kikyo. In this class where Kikyo has a strong appeal, Yamauchi has taken a step that cannot be reversed and is moving closer to the abyss.

Yamauchi knew that this was not a good thing to do, but thinking of Sakayanagi's instructions and his own future, he had to persevere.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I was just telling the truth. I can't be accused of this just because she cried. This is too ridiculous!"

Yamauchi looked around at the looks around him and began to defend himself with a little annoyance.

"Ah... Yamauchi-san, even if you admit it, so what? As a student who has always been struggling at the bottom line, even if you really did it, so what? People don't live for themselves. If you hadn't forced others to leave, then you might have been the one to leave. If you don't work for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth."

Kouenji laughed heartily twice and looked at Yamauchi with a strange smile, which obviously meant that he was advising him to admit it obediently, as this matter could no longer be concealed.

Although Horikita was very surprised at why Kouenji's behavior today was so abnormal, his actions did push Yamauchi into a dead end. Horikita could only think that he was also considering dropping out of school, so he was just acting in self-protection.

Seeing Yamauchi fall into silence, Horikita didn't want to waste any more time.

She sighed deeply, then spoke.

"In fact, just because of this, you may not necessarily be expelled from school. You can only be considered as one of the candidates to be expelled. Everything still needs to be left to the judgment of your classmates. But..."

Horikita raised his head and looked at Yamauchi coldly, the coldness in his eyes made Yamauchi feel a chill on his back.

"We can slowly solve the problems within the class, but what if this kind of thing involves the intervention of people from other classes and the betrayal of students in our class? For example... Arisu Sakayanagi from Class A?"

"What does this mean, Horikita-san?"

Hirata looked at Horikita in astonishment, not knowing why this name suddenly appeared.

"Yamauchi Haruki is secretly colluding with A-class Sakayanagi Arisu and has been acting faithfully according to her instructions. As for the evidence, I think his terminal must still have the information they exchanged. This is why I chose Yamauchi Haruki. A person who betrays the class for profit is not needed."

Horikita came to a conclusion immediately.

"No...No such thing! How could I betray our class!"

Yamauchi immediately panicked and began to defend himself.

"That means you agreed to accept Sakayanagi's instructions."

Kouenji snapped his fingers loudly and immediately ordered General Yamauchi to surrender.

"So... so what! Isn't it normal for me to protect myself?! If you call it betrayal, then why didn't I choose an important person in Class C, but a person like Ayanokouji who is not so impressive? It's better to say that it's because you, Horikita, have a good relationship with Ayanokouji, so I always favor him!"

Horikita rarely showed a sarcastic smile in front of everyone. She sneered at Yamauchi as if she was looking at an idiot.

"Choose an important person? Who? Hirata? Karuizawa? Or Kushida? You overestimate your own abilities. It's already your limit to drag down someone who started at a similar level as you. Sakayanagi obviously has the same idea. What she wants is not to drag down someone, but to know whether this idiot chess piece of yours can play a role and be used by her!"

Horikita finished speaking out his inner thoughts in one breath, and his expression returned to its stern state.

"I know a lot of people don't like what I said, because it's not just Yamauchi, maybe a lot of people have similar thoughts in their hearts, but it doesn't matter, you can write my name or Ayanokouji's name, I just want to convey my own thoughts to everyone so that everyone can make a correct judgment. In this year, I have already developed feelings for the class, and I don't want the class to be messed up by some idiots who don't know what they are doing..."

"Oh!"

A loud noise startled Horikita, who was in the middle of his sentence. He looked at the table that had fallen to the ground in Hirata's direction in astonishment.

Not only Horikita, many girls exclaimed.

"Hirata-san...?"

“That’s about it, right?”

Hirata's voice was no longer as sunny as before, and even had a hint of hoarseness and coldness.

"Gathering together for votes, creating conflicts, designating people for expulsion... all these things are making this class a mess! That's enough, Horikita!"

It was hard to imagine that the usually gentle Hirata would get so angry at this moment. Even Chabashira, who had been observing from behind, was a little surprised.

Horikita had recovered from her brief shock, and she stared at Hirata with a calm expression.

"So, what do you think is the right thing to do?"

"There is no right way to do this! No one drops out of school voluntarily!"

Hirata roared as if he had lost his mind.

Chapter 233 My Heart is All About You

Horikita didn't care about Hirata's misbehavior.

"So? Voluntarily drop out? I still say the same thing, please face the facts, this is an exam that will definitely eliminate a person. If you don't make a choice now, do you really have to wait until you find out later to regret it?"

Hirata knew in his heart that what he said was very contradictory, but at this time he had no way to make a choice. No matter who it was, he regarded the entire class as a whole, and no one should be excluded.

And now Horikita's actions are completely contrary to his inner thoughts, so naturally, an opposing attitude emerges.

"In that case, I will choose to vote for you tomorrow. I cannot agree with your statement that the chaos you caused to the class is good for the class."

"Oh, really? As you please."

Horikita shrugged and didn't get into a meaningless argument with Hirata.
