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

Question 4: Would you support changing dormitory rooms to double rooms?

Answer: (1) Support (2) Do not support

When Horikita saw this question, she was a little confused. Weren't the dormitories always double rooms? Why did she need to ask again whether it was possible to convert them into double rooms?

However, her question was quickly answered during her break.

"Double rooms? Who would like that? It's so much more comfortable to live alone in a single room these days. Schools always have to come up with all sorts of weird things. If you ask me, instead of going through all the trouble of renovating the dorms, it would be more meaningful to allow pets."

Such remarks immediately garnered a lot of support. Asking other students for their opinions on something as appealing as a double room, which is only attractive to couples, is like adding fuel to the fire. Many students are already single, and the school is deliberately poking at their sore spots by wanting to convert their rooms into double rooms. It would be a miracle if those without partners agreed.

Perhaps double rooms have their unique advantages in terms of practicality and fostering teamwork, but for students who are now used to living in single rooms, double rooms are simply a nightmare, especially for boys. It is undeniable that some relatively diligent boys pay great attention to the cleanliness of their rooms.

However, a considerable number of male dormitories have reached the point where there is nowhere to even step inside. When people are this lazy, it's practically torture to expect another person to accept living with them. In addition, some male dormitories are piled high with toilet paper, which they probably don't want anyone else to see.

Just when public opinion was overwhelmingly against double rooms, Katsuragi, who had always been a taciturn person, asked an even more fatal question.

"Are double rooms not necessarily for couples? According to school regulations, if double rooms are to be implemented, it's more likely that same-sex couples will live together."

Living with someone of the opposite sex... of course, that's impossible, but if that were the case, at least half the students in the class might waver a little. But if someone of the same sex lived together in a double room, that would be... well, you know.

"Huh? Is there a problem with same-sex couples living together?"

Horikita looked at Katsuragi strangely; things shouldn't be that bad.

Katsuragi's gaze lingered thoughtfully on Amane and Horikita's faces before he finally nodded with a relieved expression.

"It seems that double rooms are indeed conducive to fostering friendships among classmates, but if something happens between the boys, it could become a stain and scandal on the school."

hiss--!

Horikita turned her head away almost instantly, only to meet the gaze of the dazed Amane. Amane, whose mind was blank, instinctively kissed Horikita as she saw her come closer.

Then, the whole classroom fell silent.

After Horikita remained silent for a few seconds, a gasp suddenly rang out in the classroom.

"Miyako Amane!! What the hell are you doing?!"

"Yes, I can't read it... I just spaced out... Rinne, let go..."

Amane, her cheeks being grabbed and pulled forcefully by Horikita, begged for mercy incoherently. But clearly, even begging wouldn't stop Horikita at this point. Although Amane enjoyed doing this kind of thing sometimes, this was during a special exam! In the classroom! And everyone in the class had seen it!!

With her face flushed red, Horikita grabbed Amane's face and pulled it to both sides as punishment.

When Amane realized that apologizing to Horikita was completely useless, she could only look at Megumi with pleading eyes. Given Megumi's personality, she would never stand by and watch her be bullied by Horikita like this!

However, what Amane didn't expect was that Megumi saw Amane's pleading look but deliberately didn't go to help. Kissing Horikita in front of so many people and expecting her to plead for him was absolutely impossible! ...Why didn't this happen to her? If it were her, she wouldn't have reacted so strongly!

Seeing that Megumi was being petulant again, Amane immediately knew that Megumi's jealousy had definitely flared up again, but this time she really didn't mean to show off their affection. Helpless, Amane could only look at Ichinose.

Ichinose shrugged. Seeing that only she could save Amane, Ichinose went to Horikita's side and whispered a few words in Horikita's ear.

It's unclear what Ichinose and Horikita were talking about, but Horikita gave Ichinose a strange look and then released her grip on Amane's cheek.

As soon as Horikita let go, Amane quickly rubbed her face, and then she remembered something.

"It doesn't seem to hurt that much? Waaaaah, Honami is definitely the best~"

As Amane spoke, she hugged Ichinose tightly and rubbed against him. Seeing Amane acting coquettishly in Ichinose's arms, Horikita couldn't help but roll her eyes at Amane.

This guy really likes to do whatever he wants, regardless of the time or place!

However, Ichinose's suggestion is quite interesting... but how do you convince Amane to willingly become a toy?

Horikita was seriously considering the feasibility of the plan that Ichinose had told her when Ichinose's scream interrupted her thoughts. Horikita looked up in confusion and her face immediately darkened.

It turns out that Amane, who had just finished acting cute, casually licked Ichinose again. Someone as thin-skinned as Ichinose would probably...

"Rinne...save me..."

"What a hopeless idiot! I think Tianyin's little head is completely filled with those lewd things now."

Horikita ignored the scene of Ichinose 'bullying' Amane and quietly waited for the second vote to arrive.

The four questions were easily answered, and the vote naturally did not support converting the existing dormitory into a double room. It was only at this moment that Horikita realized that she had gotten used to the dormitory being a double room because Amane had been living in the room all along. Horikita even thought back and realized that this situation seemed to have started on the first day of school. It seemed that she had never experienced a single room in this school.

However, Horikita still chose not to support double rooms. The reason was that once the room size increased, who knew how many people Amane could squeeze into the room? At that time, let alone double rooms, it would probably not be difficult for Amane to make four-person or six-person rooms. She knew Amane's little thoughts all too well.

After Tianyin disappointedly chose not to accept double rooms, she leaned against the window looking utterly dejected.

Just now, Tianyin was indeed a little tempted by the suggestion. Just thinking about being surrounded by several cute girls when she returned to the dormitory every day made Tianyin smile involuntarily.

In just over an hour, everyone solved four questions in a row, and the atmosphere in the class became noticeably more relaxed. With only one question left to finish the special exam and go for lunch, the students in Class A all perked up, and many of them chatted and laughed as they waited for the fifth question. In their opinion, this special exam might be the easiest one they had ever experienced.

If things continue at this pace, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this special exam should be declared successfully completed within twenty minutes at the latest.

However, accidents often happen when people are most relaxed, giving everyone a surprise.

Question 5: If you get one student to drop out of school, you will receive 200 class points.

Answer: (1) Accept (2) Do not accept

The moment she saw the question, Amane sat up straight, her pitiful expression vanished, and she stared intently at the question on the tablet for a few seconds before looking at Chabashira-sensei.

After the question appeared, Chabashira-sensei's hand holding the tablet began to tremble uncontrollably. Trying her best to control her emotions in front of the students, Chabashira-sensei dug her nails into the skin of her arm.

At this moment, only pain can keep Chabazusa wa conscious.

The Class A led by Tenon is undoubtedly stronger than theirs back then. Tenon's personal strength and control over the class far surpass 'him', so... this time, they will definitely be able to get through this exam safely... right?

Chabashira-sensei looked at Amane with hopeful eyes. When Amane noticed Chabashira-sensei's hopeful and expectant gaze, she nodded gently to Chabashira-sensei in reassurance. At least for now, everything was still under her control, but she didn't know if any 'unexpected' things might happen.

After seeing this question, Amane concluded that Chabashira and the others must have failed because of it. The reward points might have been different, but it was definitely not because of the reward points. The reason for Chabashira and the others' failure must have been that they ran out of time.

According to the special exam rules, any time spent answering questions exceeding five hours is considered overtime. Tianyin has already used the fastest passing speed, but it has still taken about an hour and a half to get to this point. If a class had not discovered this method, it would probably take at least two hours to complete the first four questions at the fastest speed.

The remaining three hours seem like plenty of time, but in reality, the process of displaying the questions, selecting the vote, announcing the vote count, and then announcing the start of the break takes about five minutes.

Including the 10-minute break, a complete round of answering questions and voting takes at least 15 minutes.

This means that there can only be a maximum of 4 rounds of voting per hour, and only 12 rounds of voting in three hours.

The decision of whether to accept points and have someone expelled, or to give up points to save the students in the class while facing the possibility of other classes overtaking them, could be debated for three or four rounds, or even ten rounds.

Moreover, there are even more serious problems to come. This voting system is done in steps. For example, the first step of this question is whether it is acceptable to exchange dropping out of school for class points. If you choose to accept, then you will enter the second step, which is to choose who to drop out of school. After choosing one person, there is a third step, which is a class-wide vote. The number of votes must exceed 20 for the vote to be valid.

If you fail in the third step every time, a single vote could take up to half an hour, leaving you with only a pitiful six chances to vote.

Therefore, the simplest way to resolve this issue is to reject it and end this morally questioning process directly, but...

There will always be people who are afraid of being surpassed in the rankings of Class A and want to get a more secure insurance policy.

For example, if Class B discards a student whose grades or overall abilities are at the bottom, and then receives a reward of 200 class points plus a reward of 50 class points for completing a special exam, then if Class B does not discard a single student, the score difference between Class A and Class B will immediately reach 500 points, which is almost a guaranteed win.

Sacrificing just one 'insignificant' student would secure a stable future for the remaining 36 students in the class.

If we consider this choice purely from a profit perspective...

It's worth it.

The problem is how to ensure that in the first round of voting, people choose who should be expelled, and in the second round, everyone unanimously votes for the same person to be expelled without any discussion. If such tacit understanding can be achieved in the first two rounds of voting, then getting more than 20 votes in the third round is not difficult.

The reason for voting to expel someone without any prior discussion is that once the person to be expelled knows they will be expelled, they will absolutely not choose the 'accept' option in the first round of voting. If they keep choosing 'disapproval,' they can successfully drag the question into a ten-minute break due to the unanimous dissent, and eventually exhaust the time to expel them. Why can't they drag the whole class down with them? It is precisely because of this high risk that if someone really needs to be expelled, they must be voted out by the collective consensus without the person's knowledge.

This is almost an impossible task for Class A.

This is also the most tricky part of the question.

A bright future and a dark abyss are separated by only one step, and those who make decisions that can change their future are just a group of high school students.

Tianyin quickly snapped out of her thoughts and pressed the 'Accept' option.

As per the agreement we made, Tianyin must choose the first option in the first round of voting for each topic to give everyone time to discuss, and this time is no exception.

The voting results came out quickly, but the teacher in charge of announcing the results, Chazhu, stood blankly on the podium for a long time without any reaction.

"Tea Pillar Teacher, what are you doing? Why aren't you announcing the voting results?"

Urged on by the supervising teacher, Ms. Chabashira finally snapped out of her daze and read out the first round of voting results with trembling teeth.

"Voting results... Two votes accepted, 35 votes rejected. Since the unanimous vote was not met, we will now enter a break..."

Clang.

After reading the result, Teacher Chazhu stumbled and fell into the chair.

"Tea Pillar Teacher, are you alright? Should we go to the health care center to rest, or perhaps ask Hoshinomiya-sensei to take a look at you?"

When Hirata saw that Chabashira-sensei had fallen, he quickly got up and asked her with concern.

Upon hearing Hirata mention Hoshinomiya-sensei's name, Chabashira-sensei's face turned even paler. Chabashira-sensei realized that her condition was terribly poor, and if this continued, her body and mind would be completely destroyed before the special exam was over.

She knew that the vote might have been an accident, or someone might have deliberately sabotaged it... Maybe the next vote would solve the problem, but... but!!!

Chashu was afraid, afraid that what happened back then would happen again in this class, which was her last hope.

Even if a very few students like Amane graduate as Class A after failing this special exam, it will undoubtedly be another failure for Chabashira Sae.

She can teach another class of students, but she will never again have a student as powerful as Miyako Amane to fulfill her wish.

"It's okay, I'm just feeling a little unwell. I'll be fine after a rest. Don't worry about me, don't waste your precious rest time on me!"

Teacher Chabashira mustered his strength and sternly reprimanded Hirata.

Hirata gave Chabashira-sensei a deep look, nodded silently, and then looked at Amane.

"Hey! Koenji, I told you to stop messing around. Why don't we all vote to stop people from dropping out?"

Shinohara grumbled at Koenji, who was still tidying up his appearance.

"What an adorable baby! What proof do you have that I cast the vote?"

"Who else could it be but you? Weren't you the one causing trouble during the first vote?"

"Oh? Since you insist that I cast the accept vote, why don't you just vote me out of school? I'm quite curious if you have any way to vote me out of school here."

Koenji proudly put her legs up on the table and gestured to Shinohara to start performing, which infuriated Shinohara.

"Miyako-kun! Are you just going to watch her challenge your authority in the class? Since she wants to be expelled so badly, let's all vote to expel her!!"

Shinohara, in a fit of emotion, pointed at Koenji and loudly urged Amane on.

However, the expression on Amane's face did not change at all. Not only Amane, but also many students who were actually willing to support someone dropping out of school were looking at Shinohara as if he were an idiot.

"Shinohara-kun, please calm down. First of all, we have no evidence that Koenji-kun cast the accept vote. I think it's a bit inappropriate for you to accuse Koenji-kun without evidence. Secondly... Koenji-kun couldn't have been voted out."

Seeing that Shinohara was about to lose control, Hirata quickly stepped in to smooth things over. Unfortunately, Shinohara didn't understand why they couldn't vote Koenji out. She only saw Hirata, who was also a boy, speaking up for Koenji, who was also a boy.

"Why? Doesn't the rule say that if someone gets more than 20 votes, they can be expelled? With so many of us here, how could we possibly not be able to get them expelled?"

"Because in the preliminary stage, if Koenji keeps choosing not to accept, then the voting stage for expulsion cannot be reached. In that case, even if everyone agrees to expel Koenji, it will not be possible."

Just as Shinohara was pointing the finger at Hirata, Kanzaki stepped forward to answer Shinohara's questions.

Shinohara, who seemed to have understood some of the rules, turned extremely ugly. At this moment, she finally understood why everyone was turning a blind eye to her. Even if it really was Koenji who voted, it would only take one signal for everyone to expel him. But Shinohara had given Koenji a heads-up beforehand, so she knew without a doubt that Koenji would keep choosing not to accept the vote in the following voting process to avoid being expelled.

In this way, although they might pass this special exam smoothly, they will lose the best opportunity to expel this unstable element from the class.

"It seems you understand now, Shinohara girl."

Koenji sneered and lowered his head to continue trimming his nails, completely ignoring the terrifying expression on Shinohara's face, which looked like he wanted to devour him.

"Everyone, return to your seats. The next vote will begin soon."

Tianyin ignored the conflict between the two and waited for the second vote.

Soon, the results of the second vote were also released.

There was 1 vote to accept and 36 votes to reject.

"Heavenly Sound?"

Horikita softly called Amane's name. As Horikita's bedmate, Amane naturally knew that Horikita wanted to ask her if she had cast the vote herself.

If the vote accepted was cast by Tianyin herself, then it means that the interfering factors have disappeared, and everyone only needs one more round of voting to pass this special test.

But... she didn't cast that vote.

As Amane slowly shook her head, Horikita's expression also became serious.

Hirata's relaxed expression had vanished without a trace. Before Amane could speak, he stood up and addressed the class in a pleading tone.

"I hope that the student who voted to accept the vote can come forward and tell me why they voted to accept the vote. If you feel it is inconvenient, you can send me a private message. I guarantee with my integrity that I will not disclose any of your information to anyone."

Hirata pleaded with his students.

However, no one responded to Hirata, which is probably the normal situation. Anyone who saw what Shinohara did to Koenji would have guessed what kind of insults and accusations they would face if their identity were exposed. Not to mention being isolated afterwards, the whole class would definitely put them on the list of those to be abandoned first. No matter who it is, no one would rashly expose their identity unless they were prepared to die together with someone else.
