I'm in a real religion, why are all the people who confess to me girls?

For a moment, the atmosphere in the class became tense.

The two protagonists, Sakura Airi and Ichihashi Ruri, who were caught in the center of the incident, were also a little uneasy at this time.

After all, they both had the same scores, and both were one point away from being expelled, so when faced with the final choice, both of them seemed a little nervous.

Hirata didn't say much at this time.

Because in his opinion, the two classmates are equal. If he were asked to choose, he would not be able to help but choose himself instead of the student who is about to be expelled.

Tianyin and the others took this into consideration, so they banned Hirata from participating in the discussion of this issue. He could use his status as a class D student to cast a vote of confidence for those who support him.

But he could not take the initiative to talk about related topics, to avoid the extreme measures taken by Hirata or to use his influence to affect everyone's final choice.

"Now, after everyone's efforts, 50,000 points have been collected. The next step is to enter the final discussion stage, which is to let everyone choose which students to stay. I have asked two students who are about to drop out to come here. Let's listen to what they say."

Hirata kept his promise and did not express his personal opinions, which would have affected others.

The first person to step onto the podium was Shiqiao Liuli.

As a member of the Kushida group, she is quite active in social aspects and has good relationships with many people in the class. In addition, she has always been active as a sporty girl, and her slightly tanned skin also allows her to fit in with the gyaru-style clique in the class.

It can be said that he shines in aspects other than academics, and it seems that the number of people who support keeping Ichihashi may be overwhelming.

"Lingyin, who do you think will stay?"

Tianyin leaned sideways and asked Horikita who was behind him.

Horikita thought about their performance in class and chose Ichihashi without hesitation.

"Although it may be a bit cruel to say this to Sakura-san, Sakura-san has no chance of winning. Unless something happens that is enough to reverse the current situation, it is hard to imagine that Sakura-san will be able to compete with the popular Ichihashi-san."

Horikita's words were very pertinent.

Tianyin thought so too.

Just when the two were whispering in private.

Ichihashi Liuli walked up to the podium with a smile on her face.

If you didn’t know, you would have thought she was here to read out her acceptance speech.

"Hello everyone, I'm Ichihashi Ruri, and I'm one of the students who failed the exam and dropped out."

As soon as he came up, Ichihashi admitted that he was a member of the group that dropped out because he failed the exam.

This courage alone is much better than that of Yamauchi and Sudo who are unwilling to accept reality. At least they dare to face their own shortcomings.

"I didn't perform well in this exam, which resulted in a low score. But this is not because I didn't study. I am a member of the baseball club, and I have been training overtime recently to prepare for future competitions. This distracted my attention from studying, which led to this unexpected accident..."

After saying this, Ichihashi Ruri took a look at the atmosphere in the class.

Many people showed understanding expressions.

After all, a sports club is quite busy during high school, so it is understandable that the academic performance is not so satisfactory.

So when Shiqiao just gave a brief introduction, many people cast their votes of support for Shiqiao.

"But I didn't fail on purpose. I just didn't have enough time to review a few subjects, which led to the low overall score."

Ichihashi said as he pulled out his report card.

More than half of the subjects scored around 60 points.

The remaining two subjects both scored more than 20 points.

Unfortunately, he failed in the second review of his results and became a dropout.

Overall, it's understandable and there's nothing particularly outstanding about her, but for ordinary students, Ichihashi Ruri can be considered a relatively outstanding student.

"The result of this exam is a complete surprise to me. I like this place very much. I like living here with everyone, working hard for the class together and graduating from this school together. I really don't want to leave here. Please help me. I will definitely change my past mistakes, study hard and not cause trouble to everyone anymore."

After saying this, Ichihashi bowed deeply to the audience.

The sincere behavior touched many people who were still hesitant.

As the leader of the small group, Kikyo Kushida stood up and started applauding first. This action immediately caused a chain reaction. Even though some people felt that Ichihashi's words were too clichéd, they could only applaud.

But what Shiqiao said was indeed quite interesting.

Even Tianyin gave encouraging applause.

Ichihashi walked up and down the stage with a satisfied look on his face and sat back in his seat.

Hirata looked at another student from Class D.

Sakura Airi.

To be honest, Hirata had almost determined in his heart that Sakura Airi would undoubtedly lose this competition.

Not to mention that apart from studying, in terms of physical fitness, Ichihashi Ruri almost crushes Sakura Airi.

Just to talk about her performance just now, Shiqiao first admitted that she was a loser, and then gave the reason why she would drop out of the midterm exam, while emphasizing that this was just an accident. Finally, she hoped that everyone could give her a chance to graduate with everyone.

In Hirata's opinion, this kind of speech was completely a result of Ichihashi Ruri's extraordinary performance under the pressure of dropping out of school, which brought her abilities and social skills to the extreme.

Now, there is no doubt that the pressure of dropping out of school fell on Sakura Airi.

What kind of performance will this girl, whom the whole class subconsciously chooses to ignore every time they see her, bring to everyone?

Sakura Airi walked up to the podium carefully.

Facing countless gazes.

Sakura Airi took a deep breath and opened her mouth.

But I found myself not knowing what to say at all.

Sakura Airi began to get nervous.

His hands were clenched tightly, and sweat oozed from his palms due to nervousness.

But no matter how hard she tried to think, she couldn't figure out the nice words that Ichihashi Ruri had just said.

"Hello everyone... My name is Sakura Airi..."

Just to give her own name, Sakura Airi had already used up all her courage.

Looking at Sakura Airi who was standing on the podium in silence.

Many people started communicating privately.

"Since when did we have a classmate named Sakura in our class?"

"I don't know either... I feel like I don't usually notice her. It seems like she has a low sense of presence."

On the stage, Sakura Airi lowered her head deeply.

She had nothing to refute.

The description of "weak sense of presence" apparently means that one has a weak sense of presence, but it actually means that one is not sociable.

As the discussion grew louder.

Sakura Airi closed her eyes tightly.

if you can……

Maybe it would be nice if it ended like this.

Chapter 125: If you don’t say something, you’ll lose the chance

"Sakura-san, can't you put on your clothes properly? I can tell at a glance that you are a girl who likes to seduce boys."

"I, I was just changing into the swimsuit issued by the school... I wasn't trying to seduce or anything like that."

"Are you still trying to make excuses? Then why are there photos of you in my boyfriend's phone? I trusted you so much, but we're done with it now. We're no longer friends."

"Wait a minute, I don't know either... I don't have any."

For some reason, fragments of memories from junior high school appeared in Sakura Airi's mind.

I was clearly on the verge of dropping out of school.

If you don't say a few words to fight for yourself at this time, you still have the mind to think about random things...

Sakura Airi smiled to herself inwardly.

No matter what she said, it was of no use.

She herself is not as eloquent as Ichihashi.

Perhaps it would be more decent to be eliminated without saying a word?

Both in character and appearance.

I have never been able to gain recognition from others.

Mother said so.

Girls need to be gentle, so that people will like them.

But why is it that even though she is so gentle that she can just laugh it off even when being treated with harsh words, she is still ostracized?

They said it was cowardice and not gentleness at all.

They said it was cowardice, and it was only natural for cowards to be bullied.

She also wants to be friends with everyone in the class.

The boys stared at her body with greedy eyes.

That feeling made her very uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but feel nauseous. As a former "idol", especially an idol whose selling point was her figure, she actually looked like this.

Sakura Airi herself felt a little embarrassed.

But that is indeed the case.

Even though she was wearing rustic glasses.

Even though she tried her best to hide her proud figure under her school uniform.

But those gazes never disappeared.

In contrast, the girls are disgusted.

At first she didn't understand why the girls excluded her, as she was one of them.

Why would you exclude yourself from a small group with the excuse that you are "not a good fit"?

Until one day in the bathroom, she heard her classmate Shinohara complaining that the boys were all looking at the training platform during swimming class.

Only then did she understand.

The things that I have always hated are actually a symbol of approval in the eyes of some girls.

When facing boys, she needs to avoid everyone's sight; when facing girls, she needs to hide all her outstanding features and characteristics that may cause others to dislike.

But even so.

In the end, I am still alone.

She was always troubled by these trivial matters and had no intention of concentrating on her studies.

This has resulted in her grades not making any progress since she came here.

The direct consequence was this incident of dropping out of school.

Are you going to be expelled from school?

I indeed did not pass the exam.

Even if I was expelled... Although I am a little unwilling, there is nothing to complain about.

Even if it was her last chance, she didn't want to... She didn't know how to fight for herself.

She just wanted to let things take their course, and the only consequence that awaited her was undoubtedly dropping out of school.

Such a big school, such a big class, why can't there be room for a little girl like Sakura Airi?

Tears welled up in my eyes.

Karuizawa, who was sitting in the front row and playing with his mobile phone, suddenly saw a tear on the ground.

As if realizing something, he slowly raised his head.

Sakura Airi was sobbing with her head down, trying hard to hold back her tears silently in order not to disturb others with the sound of her crying.
