Two periods later.
The atmosphere in Class D couldn't help but become much more cheerful; looking at the smiling crowd, Hirata Yousuke breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as Ayanokouji said, there was no need to do anything.
After nearly two years.
Everyone had grown a lot.
To rise to Class A, everyone was able to make mutual adjustments and concessions.
Even if this relationship was fake, as long as everyone was happy, what did it matter?
They were no longer that Class D from the beginning of school!
Looking at the scene before him.
Hirata Yousuke felt heartfelt relief and had more confidence in being able to rise to Class A.
However.
Only Horikita Suzune's expression was still somewhat solemn.
As Sakura Airi's best friend, she originally thought the one most likely to have problems was definitely Hasebe Haruka.
Unexpectedly.
Benefiting from Sakura Airi not being expelled.
Hasebe Haruka hadn't collapsed and still came to school to study properly; even if she had some grievances, it wasn't a big problem.
Now the most important thing was.
Wang Meiyu and Kushida Kikyou hadn't come to school.
Wang Meiyu didn't matter much yet; it was just that her liking for Hirata was exposed, which she believed also wouldn't be a big problem.
The important one was Kushida Kikyou.
Horikita Suzune was outwardly calm, but she couldn't help but let out a sigh internally.
She had guarded Kushida Kikyou's door for two consecutive days over the weekend, hoping to talk with her; however, the effect was minimal.
Since she chose to let Kushida Kikyou stay, then Horikita Suzune naturally had the responsibility to guide this person.
Only by letting Kushida Kikyou exert her strength for the class.
Could her value exceed Sakura Airi's.
This was the thought from the position of a class leader.
Even standing from a personal position.
Horikita Suzune also greatly admired Kushida Kikyou.
Even if she could no longer exert that affinity, Kushida Kikyou's academic ability, physical ability, and communication ability were all indispensable things for the class.
However.
Horikita Suzune didn't lose heart either.
She firmly believed that as long as she relied on her sincerity, she could definitely persuade Kushida Kikyou.
Kushida was just a bit childish.
No matter how many times it took.
Horikita Suzune would save Kushida unswervingly.
Just then.
Kushida Kikyou walked into the classroom with a cold expression, immediately making the entire classroom fall into silence.
"Kushida? Why are you here...?"
Horikita Suzune hurriedly got up, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but relax as she said:
"No, Kushida-san, it's truly great that you can come back, welcome back!"
"Is that so?"
Feeling the strange gazes around her, Kushida Kikyou sneered: "Others don't seem to think so."
"Kushida, what kind of attitude is that?"
Shinohara hurriedly stood up, her face full of anger; several girls whose secrets were exposed by Kushida in the last exam couldn't help but stand up.
Unlike Karuizawa.
Whoever Karuizawa likes, she likes; it has nothing to do with them anyway.
Instead.
It was they who wanted to push Karuizawa to the bottom.
They inevitably felt some guilt toward Karuizawa; as long as someone slightly helped say a few words, it wasn't a big deal.
But Kushida Kikyou was completely different.
Not only did she deceive all of them, but she also exposed their secrets, making them look foolish in front of the class.
If not for trust.
How could they have told Kushida their secrets?
If Kushida were willing to proactively and sincerely apologize.
Then fine.
For the sake of the class, it wasn't impossible to re-accept Kushida, but her attitude of looking down on everyone was simply sickening.
"Kushida."
Shinohara said with a cold face: "Shouldn't you have something to say to us?"
"Heh, what words?"
Kushida Kikyou stopped pretending and showed her true colors, sneering: "Is it really okay for you to talk to me like this?"
As soon as these words came out.
Shinohara and the others' faces stiffened.
Last time Kushida only picked a few secrets with little impact to expose; clearly, she still held many secrets in her hands.
If Kushida were to expose these again.
The consequences would be unimaginable!
Instead of having thoughts of apologizing, Kushida actually threatened them in return.
After all.
She had been an emotional trash can for these disgusting people for two years.
And they still want her to apologize?
On what basis?
Since it was already impossible to become the most popular person, Kushida Kikyou was too lazy to pretend with these people anymore.
All along the way.
Kushida Kikyou had received many cold glares.
However.
She didn't care either.
Anyway, she still held many handles; no one dared to bully her.
Her heart was much stronger than Karuizawa's.
"Kushida..."
Looking at the cold-faced Kushida Kikyou, Horikita Suzune furrowed her beautiful brows.
"It seems you didn't return to school because you've thought it through."
"Ha..."
Kushida Kikyou pulled out her phone and said with a mocking smile:
"How could that be? You probably don't know yet; the school forum is very exciting right now."
"Hmm?"
Hearing this.
Horikita Suzune furrowed her brows and couldn't help but pull out her phone; Ayanokouji and others around also couldn't help but open the forum.
The first post attracted everyone's attention.
[Shocking! The method to 100% rise to Class A in Advanced Nurturing.]
Yukimura Teruhiko was somewhat concerned and hurriedly clicked on this post.
However.
The content was the process of Class D's exam.
And the poster had no intention of hiding at all; it was precisely Hikigaya Hachiman.
Although there was some sarcasm intended, it was basically all speaking the truth, which made it even more embarrassing.
Including Kushida Kikyou's past, Ayanokouji's rhetoric, Horikita Suzune's choice, and the reason for expelling Sakura Airi.
Hikigaya didn't add any fuel to the fire.
He laid all the facts before everyone.
As for the method to rise to Class A.
As long as one companion is abandoned in every exam, they will definitely be able to rise to Class A in the end; clearly, he was being sarcastic.
However.
Precisely because it was the truth.
It made their cheeks feel even more heated.
After all, they were very clear that this kind of thing is easy to do but hard to talk about.
"...Shameless..."
Ike Kanji's face turned red; he gripped his phone tightly and was simply exploding with anger:
"I knew long ago that Hikigaya was a despicable person who doesn't understand our thoughts at all and just maliciously defames us behind our backs; it's too shameless."
"This guy is truly disgusting."
Yukimura said somewhat angrily.
At that time, the exam had already proceeded to that stage.
They could only choose one person to be expelled between Kushida Kikyou and Sakura Airi.
They were just following the arrangements of the leader, Horikita Suzune.
Furthermore.
Sakura Airi's strength was the weakest; this was an indisputable fact.
He doesn't understand their pain and struggle at all; Hikigaya just stands to the side and says sarcastic things.
To rise to Class A.
What was wrong with that?
Should they have let everyone give up the idea of rising to Class A for the sake of Sakura Airi alone?
If there were a choice.
How could they have let Sakura Airi be expelled?
This was all out of necessity!
Only standing to the side and saying sarcastic things and even sarcastically teaching them how to rise to Class A was truly sickening.
The people of Class D were indignant, but there were also a few people whose faces were full of shame.
Completely forgetting.
That they had once done the same thing.
