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

When applying for additional special exam points, it is indeed necessary to have a dropout as collateral for every fifty points.

Kanzaki did indeed fill in the names of these three people, so logically, even if Sakayanagi wanted to interfere, he should have dealt with these three people instead.

However, as it turns out, if someone is looking for trouble with you, then whatever you do is wrong.

"You did submit the list of these three people, but... is the list valid? Did they themselves agree to it?"

Sakayanagi's words made Kanzaki hesitate several times. Who would agree to drop out of school in exchange for fifty points for some special exam? If this wasn't enforced, who would willingly be expelled? If someone actually did, then that person must be mentally unstable!

Kanzaki dared to make such a assertion.

"Kanzaki-san, is that what you're trying to say?"

Sakayanagi noticed Kanzaki's actions. She knew perfectly well that what she said sounded unreasonable. If someone had said that to her, she probably would have called them a stupid person who lacked common sense.

However, it was precisely because such words were disgusting that she said them. After all... it's impossible for students in Class D to be scrambling to drop out of school, otherwise the farce just now wouldn't have happened.

"They themselves agreed at the time."

Kanzaki had no choice but to come up with this response to Sakayanagi.

They did agree at the time, but the way they agreed was somewhat...

"Oh? So these people initially agreed to drop out of school in exchange for special exam points, but then they backed out when they lost the challenge and were about to be expelled?"

Kanzaki felt very uncomfortable under Sakayanagi's mocking gaze, but he had to insist that he had agreed to these people, and that there were so many people who could testify for him.

Thinking of this, Kanzaki felt a little relieved. Right, he had witnesses. The whole class saw these three people agree to be the candidates for dropping out of school.

Although they were considered to have agreed because he said, "If you continue to remain silent, it will be considered that you agree."

But they didn't object in public. Doesn't not object mean they agreed?

The logic is perfectly sound!

Kanzaki's uneasy expression returned to normal, although... it only lasted for a few short seconds.

"He's lying! We never agreed to it."

"That's right. He said that if we didn't speak, it meant we agreed. But when he asked the other students to vote, he said that if they didn't vote for the three of us, that person would have to take our place. That's why everyone chose us."

"I'm not reconciled! The only reason we were chosen was because of our poor grades! What makes you think we deserve this?! I won honors for the whole class in the sports festival! Have you all forgotten that?"

Of the three people's explanations, Tachibana's was the most surprising: Kanzaki actually chose students to drop out based on their grades?

Although Tachibana's academic performance was terrible, his physical fitness was at a C+ level. From an ordinary person's perspective, a C is roughly the level of an average person, while a C+ is only slightly better than an average person.

If you think that way, you are making a big mistake.

Currently, apart from Tianyin who stands alone in a tier, the rest are divided into five tiers from A to E, with E being the worst type, indicating that the student has no value in this aspect.

Some people might even receive an unbelievable rating of E-, but overall, it's best not to expect too much from this ability if you only get an E rating.

A D-level evaluation is the evaluation of a normal person. D- means below the average level of ordinary people, while D+ proves that the student has some special talents in this ability. For example, academic ability D+ is equivalent to 30 points in other subjects, but he/she can pass 60 points in a special subject.

A grade C corresponds to 'good', indicating that all the scores of this ability surpass those of ordinary students, but there is still a considerable distance to go before reaching the level of excellent.

For example, a C-level academic ability is equivalent to achieving a normal passing score (60) or even slightly higher in all subjects.

A B grade indicates that the student's ability in this area is quite good. An academic B grade means that the student's grades will be above 80, and it is not uncommon for them to occasionally get a perfect score.

A grade of B is the ceiling for a normal student.

Starting from B+ level indicates that this person is no ordinary person; they have a certain talent in this ability. If their other abilities also reach around B+, then without a doubt, this person is a genius.

Finally, there are the A-level people, who are collectively referred to as geniuses.

If someone achieves an A level in a particular skill, it indicates that they are a special talent with exceptional abilities in that area.

If someone has multiple abilities at level A or around level B, then that person is undoubtedly a genius among geniuses.

These people have a unique name.

That is: a monster.

So what level is Tachibana?

C+ level physical ability.

In other words, these are rare talents who are beyond the reach of ordinary people and are on the verge of excellence. It is only a matter of time before they improve their physical abilities to level B through training.

Such a talented person is going to be expelled from Class D just because of poor academic performance.

It sounded incredibly unbelievable to Sakayanagi.

So she plans to use this to her advantage.

"So, does that mean Kanzaki expelled the bottom three students in the class?"

Sakayanagi's gaze swept across the faces of the students in Class D, and many of them nodded subconsciously.

Just then, Sakayanagi suddenly asked another question.

"If these three drop out of school, who will be the new bottom three?"

Faced with Sakayanagi's question, Kanzaki's face turned ashen again, but he couldn't interrupt Sakayanagi's normal inquiry.

As time went by, two girls and one boy raised their hands.

"If there is a similar exam next time, would you be willing to be expelled?"

The three of them looked at each other and quickly shook their heads.

Nobody wants to be the one who gets expelled. It's almost been a year now, and it's extremely difficult to get back into school if you drop out now. Plus, if everyone knows you were expelled from Gaoyu, they'll look at you differently.

If you say you were expelled from class B or class A, people might look at you with more respect. But if you say you were expelled from class D, people will think you're a worthless person, even if they don't know the details.

Therefore, as members of Class D, none of them wanted to be forced to leave the school when the class was starting to improve.

"Kanzaki-san, look, if we continue with your method, those with poor grades will be afraid of being expelled one day. And your selection method is to expel students starting from the bottom three, but no matter how you rank them, there will always be someone at the bottom. If they are expelled simply because of their grades, I think that's unfair. Of course, this is your class's internal affair, so I won't say more. What I want to say is... Kanzaki-san, are you using those top students who won't be expelled, along with some average students who are afraid of being chosen by you, to force them to vote for these three students?..."

"Is it suspected of school bullying?"

As soon as the term "school bullying" was uttered, all the students in Class D turned to look at Kanzaki.

Kanzaki was now completely in an awkward position.

Just as he was wondering how to answer Sakayanagi's piercing question, a familiar voice rang out from the side.

"Please allow me to say a word."

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Kanzaki instinctively looked in the direction from which it came.

"Ichinose!"

"Isn't that Ichinose-kun?"

"It's Honami!"

"Kofumi is back!"

"Ichinose..."

Upon seeing Ichinose's appearance, Class D erupted into a lively atmosphere, though everyone reacted differently. For instance, Ninomiya walked to a corner with a look of disgust, refusing to meet Ichinose.

However, most people have a good attitude towards Ichinose. Although everyone thinks that Ichinose is too weak in leading the class, Ichinose actually has a good relationship with many people in private. After Kushida's reputation was ruined, Ichinose became the only student from another class who was very popular.

Therefore, many of the students in Class D smiled happily when they saw Ichinose appear.

"Ichinose-san, is that what you really want to say?"

Sakayanagi glanced at Amane and noticed that Amane's gaze was fixed on her, paying no attention to anything else. She concluded that it was probably not Amane who sent Ichinose to cause trouble.

It's highly likely that Ichinose wanted to speak well of Class D. Faced with someone like that, Sakayanagi judged that there was absolutely no need to clash with Ichinose, so his tone softened considerably.

"I have a way to resolve this dropout incident in Class D."

"oh?!"

Ichinose's confident tone surprised even Sakayanagi.

Sakayanagi appeared here for two reasons: firstly, to give Kanzaki a warning, and secondly, to arrange for a few students to drop out of school to intimidate certain people.

As for resolving this withdrawal incident?

Sakayanagi never imagined it would end like this, because it was impossible for anyone to use 60 million personal points to redeem the three students from Class D who were expelled.

Although Tachibana was somewhat useful, in Sakayanagi's eyes, the three of them were utterly useless. The only reason Sakayanagi spoke up for them was to use them to cause trouble for Kanzaki.

But now Ichinose says she can solve it.

Really interesting.

"I'm a little curious, Ichinose-kun, what's your plan to save the three of them? As far as I know, you probably don't have enough personal points, right? Even including this guy's, there should still be a significant shortfall. How do you plan to save them?"

Sakayanagi asked with great interest.

Ichinose gently shook her head.

"I don't have that many points, and I don't need to use my personal points to save people. As long as Kanzaki-san gives up the points he earned from this special exam, he can save the three of them, right?"

Before Ichinose could finish speaking, Kanzaki immediately rejected her.

"it's out of the question!"

Kanzaki's refusal startled Ichinose for a moment, and then she questioned him somewhat angrily.

"Kanzaki-san! Have you forgotten what you said to me back then? You wanted to move up to Class A with everyone. I remember it clearly. That's what you said to me! Class points can be earned again, but once people are gone... they can never come back. I don't believe that someone who was so heartbroken when Shiranami dropped out of school would choose to abandon their comrades."

"I'll ask you one more time, Kanzaki-san, do you choose class points or people?"

Ichinose's innocence touched many people.

But they couldn't change Kanzaki's mind, who was already at his wit's end.

"I need class points!!!"

Chapter 178: Am I really suited for this place?

"I need class points!!!"

Kanzaki's roar drew the attention of many people. Kanzaki realized his loss of composure and straightened his clothes and slightly loosened his glasses.

"Nothing is more important to Class D than the class itself right now. If anyone is willing to give up class points in exchange for these three bottom-ranked students, raise your hand in front of everyone so I can see it!"

Kanzaki shouted a command at the silent Class D students.

Class D, which had just come alive with Ichinose's arrival, fell silent once again.

Admittedly, no one wants their close classmate or friend to be expelled, but...

The thought that they would have pocket money starting next month and wouldn't have to eat those mountain vegetable meals that made them feel nauseous just looking at them was so appealing.

They no longer have to endure the strange looks from students coming and going in the free daily necessities section where they can only choose three items for free each month, and then carefully select the items they need.

There's no need to look on with envy at the students swarming to the vending machines while you can only swallow your anger and silently turn away.

They didn't want to continue living like this with nothing, but the prerequisite for obtaining a better life was to give up their companions and friends.

This is not a problem for them...

Almost everyone chose personal points over companion points without hesitation.

"Everyone……"

Ichinose's expectant gaze gradually dimmed.

The students in Class D all lowered their heads. Admittedly, they chose profit over friendship without hesitation, but that did not prevent them from feeling guilty.

As long as I can eat delicious food, wear nice clothes, and drink beverages that I haven't had in who knows how long, it's okay to feel guilty.

"See? Ichinose, this is the choice made by everyone in Class D!"

"Kanzaki, everyone... you've really changed."

Ichinose shook her head, her gentle yet disappointed gaze enough to pierce the chest of any creature with a conscience.

Kanzaki is no exception.

“There’s no way… It’s not just us who need to change, Ichinose, you need to change too. Your gentleness and tolerance simply can’t survive in this school. Maybe you can go further by following Miyako, but if you’re still so naive, you’ll pay the price for your naivety sooner or later.”

Ichinose stood there with her head down, saying nothing.

Suddenly, a warm hand landed on her shoulder.

Ichinose subconsciously looked up, the midday sun stinging her eyes, making it difficult for her to see clearly who was in the sunlight for a moment.

The sunlight was so bright that her vision became blurry.
