Cote v16 chapter 3 part 3

 Part 3

Within the time limit of 5 hours, we arrived at the final task in about an hour without any worries.

Not a few students have thought it was certain that they would be able to clear even if the flow was smooth. After the last question, it's sunny and special.

Another task is cleared and 50 class points are given.

However, if there is only one cause for concern, it will be the homeroom teacher's appearance.

"Then ... the next is the final task."

As the task progressed, Chabashira-sensei facial expressions changed to a bad one .

However, it was obvious to the students that she looked pale.

"Teacher, are you okay?"

Even though the task is still in its infancy, private speaking is not something to be praised.

However, Yosuke said that he could not overlook it.

"No, you certainly don't look well,"

"Is that so? That's not true."

I don't think it's a bluff.

In other words, she don't even realize that she’s acting strange.

Should I say she’s not conscious?

In any case, Yosuke has no choice but to step down if he is told that this is not the case .

The teacher looking behind me doesn't move either, so the final task will start as it is.

But there is one thing for sure. It should be seen that the next task for the chabashira-sensei has a lot to do with her current physical condition.

That's what it means.

"Now, I'll show you the final assignment. Get ready to vote."

With that said, Chabashira-sensei  operates her tablet while adjusting breathing.

Then the last task was displayed in front of us.

Task 5 - Instead of one classmate being expelled, gain 100 class points.

(If the vote is unanimous in favor, identify and vote on the student who will be expelled)

Choice : 1. Support, 2. Oppose

The final challenge is only  two of the fewest choices I've ever had.

At first glance, people tend to think that the fewer choices, the easier it is to organize.

But in fact, the number of options doesn't have much influence.

If there are a lot of strangers in the room, or if it's not possible to have a discussion, a large number of choices can be disadvantageous.

But our class can repeat the discussion.

It is always the content of the assignment that is important.

Class Points for Expulsion

Here was one of the worst assignments I could have imagined.

The students, who are not allowed to speak, would have been upset by reading the task in their hearts.

If they voted in favor of the assignment, one of their classmates would be expelled. 

Under normal circumstances, the entire class should have voted "oppose" without hesitation.

There are not many 100 class points, but instead, I would like to avoid having 1 classmate drop out of school.

I think the majority of people think that this is a good idea.

If this is a majority vote, the opposition will probably be the majority in a single vote and that's it.

However, it has been proven four times in the past that it does not work so well.

That's unanimous, simple yet challenging. 

"Start counting ... everyone should start voting."

No extra time is supposed to be given, and the voting time of 8 seconds begins.

If the agreement is unanimous, the selection of expulsion students from this class will start in a hurry.

Again, of course few students would want to do that. Be sure to earn 100 "class points"

It is not a point that must be earned. 

If this had been the third semester of my 3rd year, with only one or two special exams left, I would not have been in the same state of mind as I am now. 

In a close battle like competing for 1 point, the value of those 100 points would jump In that case, it could have been a battle between two ultimate choices

I may have been waiting.

But now the situation is different. It's not a scene where almost everyone hesitates to vote for "oppose."

Still, it is true that there are some concerns, including Koenji.

That's why I think slowly here with my hand off the tablet.

According to the agreement with Horikita, my role in the first round of voting is to vote for option 1, no matter what the issue is.        

But if Horikita and the other five were to vote against it now, it would be better to vote against it without an interval.

It's a task that should be finished quickly without giving an extra line.

There is no guarantee that even one discussion will not cause some students to lose their minds over 100 points.

I decided that the interval was unnecessary only for this task.

It will take nearly 30 seconds to display a notification that all votes have been completed.

"..…. Since everyone's vote is over, I will tell you the result."

Despite the obvious anomaly, Chabashira-sensei kept her posture and continued to proceed.

1st vote result: support (2); oppose (37)

Isn't it unanimous?

I take his finger off the button I voted for and quietly stare at the result.

Chabashira-sensei, who should read out the results and proceed, does not move while staring at the monitor like the students. 

There is no guarantee that we can all agree at once without an interval.

When it comes to that, it may be this issue itself that the Chabashira-sensei is concerned about.

" Chabashira-sensei Please proceed."

The teacher pays attention to the chabashira-sensei, which is flowing for a few seconds, from behind.

"... I'm sorry. Eh ... 2 votes support and 37 votes oppose. It's not unanimous, so it's going to be an interval."

Are there two votes in favor?

"Hey, who did you vote for! Are you fooling around?"

Despite saying who he is, Sudou-kun strong gaze is unilaterally directed to Koenji.

Although Koenji had said something about protection points, he hadn't really stood out.

However, he must have gotten the right idea because of the contents of the article.

Of course, it's Sudo's abandonment, but I'm sure many students agree.

"Which one did you put in Koenji?"

"Do I need to answer?"

"If you can't answer, you mean choose it, right?"

"Hey Red Hair-kun, it's not a good idea.

 In the first place, Horikita Girl said that in the first vote, any choice was made It should be allowed.

 I don't think there's any reason to be complained about either way. "

Sudo became blatantly unhappy after receiving the right argument.

"If one vote is Koenji, isn't there another guy who entered the symbiosis?"

Ike that focuses on the part where votes remain even if Koenji is excluded.

"Sure, that's a problem too!"

As expected, the other barks in trouble, perhaps because he can't spot it 

"Don't panic. One of the people who voted for it is Ayanakoji-kun"

"Huh? Oh, Ayakoji, how can you say that?." 

"I kept it a secret so far, but before this special exam started, I and he had promised to vote.

No matter what the content of the task, we've adjusted it so that the first vote won't be unanimous "

Having reached the final task, Horikita talks about the content of the preliminary meeting.

If you come to this stage, there is no merit to hide it.

Obviously it's a waste of time and effort to find out who one vote is.

"Because we can unanimously make unexpected choices, right?"

Yosuke added one to make it easier for students who do not fully understand.

"Yes"

"... .. I don't know what you mean. But then tell me as soon as possible"

"That's not the case. The first vote, when you are not allowed to talk, is an important opportunity to find out exactly what your classmates want.

 If they know that you are planning to prevent the vote from being unanimous from the beginning, some students may vote randomly.

I wanted to avoid that. 

It was his role to vote for the first option. I'll vote for the second one. That's why it's actually one person who put in a success. "

Looking around the classroom, Horikita talks to that person.

"It's a bit radical, but it's up to the individual to decide which one to vote for. I voted in favor of the class point.

I don't think it's wrong in itself. But we should all vote against it here as a whole”
