Classroom of the Elite V17: Ch 1.3

At least that part is my responsibility.

"You don't have to apologize twice for the same thing. If you thought it was the right thing to do, that's fine."

“But you covered for me. No, that's not all. ..............." As if to organize the inside of the head, carefully weave words.

“Even if I had induced Sakura-san to drop out under the circumstances, I am sure that Hasebe-san would not have yielded until the very end. That meant a penalty for running out of time was inevitable."

Thanks to this weekend giving us a time to relax, she’s seen the situation clearly.

The burden of the role of pronouncing expulsion and the difficulty of carrying it out. The battle in a limited time is tougher than you can imagined. she was relieved that the worst had been avoided, but her eyes looked somewhat anxious.

More than a little, she’s seeking salvation to the road where no one dropped out due to running out of time.

A world where 39 people were not missing. Horikita knows that this is the common coping method to avoid accepting reality. That’s why she holds back the thought that threatens to eat her out from the inside.

" It was as if you could see everything from the beginning of the exam.

"I didn't predict the future. I was just making assumptions."

 

"That's amazing. Even if you can create a certain image, you can't read it perfectly.

The content of the subject, what kind of statement should be made to make the other person move as you wants. It was all based on calculation." Little by little, I began to notice the world I was seeing, the world I was thinking about.

“Reflection and analysis are fine, but right now the first priority is to solve the class problem, right?”

  "Eh, yes. That' s right...."

"Don't expect the same environment as before.."

"Of course, I'm prepared for that. Hasebe-san is undoubtedly holding a grudge against me, and I'm sure Yukimura-kun and Miyake-kun feel the same way Also, there are students who are not convinced that they forced to save Kushida-san.”

she say she are prepared, but that doesn't mean she really understand it yet. To what extent can one remain calm about the changes that their decisions lead them to make?

It would be fine if most of the changes were merely positive, but this time it is almost the opposite. It is a negative change. You will not be seen as a contributor to the increase in class points.

"You should go to school now"

There's no point in having a long conversation here, since Horikita is too busy dealing with Kushida right now.

" It would do no good to make a bad impression."

This is not a dormitory where only students of Horikita's class live. People from classes that should be called enemies, such as Sakayanagi and Ryuuen, are living here as well.

I do not believe that it is possible to keep a cover on kushida's true nature, but t that doesn’t mean that we need to willingly expose ourselves.

Whether or not they can face up to the cost will be decided by how our classmates handle things going forward.

But before that... I’m not sure what to do about the problems that the class is quickly discovering we need to solve.
