Seeing this, Hikigu felt a little regretful.

He didn't really like preaching to people, but... that day, Ichinose kept saying that he wanted to establish a 'real relationship' with the class.

As a result, this is it?

Perhaps Ichinose's method can be accepted by most people emotionally, but it is definitely not the real thing.

...That's right, the so-called real thing doesn't necessarily mean good.

Although Hikiya is not sure what it is, but its true face is likely to be just a cold and cruel indescribable thing that can only bring sadness.

I'm afraid no one would want such a thing.

so--

"I regret."

"Eh……?"

This thoughtless sentence naturally made Ichinose stunned.

Hikiya didn't mean to explain, but continued a little bluntly: "Ichinose, your question... No, it should be said that according to your understanding, what does the so-called growth mean?"

"This one……"

Ichinose hesitated as expected.

According to her middle school thinking, growing up should mean excellent grades, building good relationships with people around her, and she did these things very well.

But since I came to this school... Although my grades have not dropped, every time I pass a special exam, I always feel exhausted.

"I think if you can use a better way to lead everyone in the class through the difficulties, it means that you have grown up, right?" Ichinose said with an uncertain expression.

She should also understand that this answer is essentially just evasion.

Just like this exam, if Ichinose neither asked Nagumo nor Hikigaya, let alone borrowed it from other people, but suddenly picked up 200 million on the way, or a student in the class inexplicably took out 200 million.

Even if the result is better, it has nothing to do with growth.

At most it's called open hanging.

There is no such good thing in reality, so there are only three paths in front of Ichinose.

Either associate with Nagumo, or abandon the principle to find Hikigu, or just watch his partner get expelled from school.

"...In this strength-oriented school, there is probably only one way for so-called growth."

Hikiya didn't expose Ichinose and didn't answer this matter directly, because he himself is also a guy who likes to escape.

"That is to become ruthless enough to make the optimal solution for victory under limited conditions."

This is especially true for leaders.

"Yeah... Maybe that's it." Ichinose nodded with difficulty.

Now she no longer has the face to say something like 'you must protect your partner no matter what'.

Of course, partners are still very important in her heart.

But the question is... If it is really that important, then why did she agree to the method of 'no matter which three are drawn, she will be in an absolutely safe zone'?

If we really pursue fairness, we should directly choose one of the 40 people who is the most equal.

——Sure enough... I'm just hypocritical, right?

Such thoughts popped up in Ichinose's mind suddenly, but he didn't feel much surprise about it.

However, the next moment Hikigu shook his head violently.

"No! Your answer is completely wrong!"

"Eh?"

"At this time you have to answer 'mind your own business'!"

"Eh... eh?!"

That's right, that's how it should be.

Hikigu Hachiman is not a saint, and even he himself cannot guarantee that his thoughts are correct.

So Ichinose didn't need to take his words seriously.

Corresponding--

"Similarly, this ruined school is not a holy place. The so-called supremacy of strength is just their unilateral statement, and there is no need to take it to heart."

There is never only one path to the future.

No one stipulates that you must go along the planned road...it's not a four-wheel drive!

"To be honest, I don't care what happens to the students in Class A, but only for you—"

"Yes, to me...?!"

Ichinose gradually opened her eyes wide, and her thoughts drifted away.

And Hikigu was completely immersed in his own world at this time, and said in an unprecedentedly serious tone: "No matter what method you plan to use to lead the class in the future, whether it is a real relationship or a false unity, it doesn't matter if you don't want to do it anymore. . . . I just hope you find what you're really looking for at this school."

"Really...want?"

"Ah, think about it carefully."

Facing the dazed Ichinose, Hikiya also had mixed feelings.

Although it was completely selfish, he still didn't want Ichinose to become an 'ordinary person'.

It's the price of not becoming an 'ordinary person', but it's so cruel...

I am afraid that no matter what the final result is, he will regret it.

...No, I'm starting to regret it now.

"Uh, sorry, I seemed to say something strange just now."

Hikigaya, whose mind had cooled down, immediately began to feel ashamed.

Ichinose on the opposite side also seemed to be frightened by this statement, and stood there without moving.

"So, anyway, that's it. I just say something casually, and you just listen to it casually... Goodbye."

This made Bi Qigu more embarrassed, and left as if fleeing after leaving this sentence.

Hate...why do you always say superfluous things when you get hotheaded?

But if I don't say it, I always feel that I will regret it... Ahhh, I'm so annoying!

OK, it's decided!

Hikigu immediately decided to extend the time of rolling around on the bed to an hour after returning home.

drip-

At this moment, the phone suddenly rang inappropriately.

It's a text message.

Originally, Biqigu didn't want to care about it, but he really wasn't in the mood.

But he took it out and took a glance as if by accident.

He was so shocked that he almost dropped his phone.

It was actually sent by Masumi-san... Yes, this is something that must be faced.

So, what to do?

Who can tell Hachiman in 5 minutes how to reject the other party without making the girl sad!

……

At the same time, Mashima-sensei from Class B also announced the results of Class B's exam.

The top three have already come out, and No.1 is Miki Yamamura with a total of 24 votes.

Although the result was somewhat reluctant, Hashimoto's lobbying certainly played a big role.

The last is the most important thing, which is the dropout this time.

"Next... Announce the name of the student who received the most critical votes. I think you all know that the student whose name is called will be expelled from school, and after that, he must pack his luggage and come to the office with me."

It has been Mashima's fourth year as Gao Yu's teacher. During this period, he has witnessed many students who drop out of school.

But every time something similar happened, all he could do was force himself not to care.

"—The last student got 27 critical votes, his name is..."

There was a little noise in the classroom.

Class B students waited restlessly for the moment when the dropout's name was announced. From time to time, someone glanced in a certain direction, and then quickly looked away.

That person was naturally Sakayanagi.

However, she herself seemed very calm, sitting there quietly with a smile on her face.

After all, as a lady, you have to be graceful until the end.

Speaking of which, do you want to see Hikigu-kun again before leaving?

Sakayanagi thought happily in his heart.

His expression will definitely be very...

"Yahiko Totsuka."

……Um?

The blurted words interrupted Sakayanagi's thoughts.

Not only her, but other people's expressions were also frozen on their faces.

This student's name seems to have some kind of magic power.

"Wait a minute! This is how it is!"

Katsuragi was the first to react after the results were announced, and stood up with an expression of disbelief.

And Yahiko's expression is similar, or almost everyone in the classroom is like this.

Mashima-sensei ignored them, and then announced the results of all the students' approval and criticism votes.

Among them, Sakayanagi, who was supposed to be the last one, actually only got eight critical votes...

This result shocked everyone.

"Sakayanagi, you really are playing tricks! You pretend to give up on the surface, but in fact you have planned to frame me secretly!" Yahiko pointed to the surroundings and shouted, "And you! You guys! Have you forgotten what Hikigu said!"

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, all feeling baffled.

Of course, this kind of thing will not be forgotten, otherwise they would not be so easily persuaded to vote for Biqigu, just to ensure nothing goes wrong.

By the way, only Yahiko did not vote out of personal grudges...

And judging from their expressions, these people seem to be really ignorant.

I'm afraid that most of them did cast a critical vote for Sakayanagi.

"Mashima-sensei, can I ask a question?"

Sakayanagi, who came back to his senses, had a panoramic view of everyone's reactions, and immediately had a calculation in his heart.

"Could you tell me the specifics of the votes?"

"No." Teacher Mashima refused, "This exam will only publish the final calculated results, which means that no matter how many praise votes and criticism votes you get from, these will be kept confidential and you need to go to them yourself. think."

Sakayanagi did not give up, and continued to ask: "The results of other classes, can this not be said?"

"No.1 and the last place will be announced, and they will be posted on the bulletin board on the first floor."

"Hehe, can't the teacher tell us now?"

Sakayanagi was not surprised by this, but said as if he had expected it: "Since it's public news, it's okay to say it at this time. After all, I think everyone is quite confused."

"……All right."

Mashima-sensei pondered for a moment and agreed.

Then he turned around and wrote down the situation of other classes on the blackboard.
