Chapter 3: Opponents Introduction

On that same day, during lunch break, almost every student in Class C had agreed to meet up in the classroom.

The students who didnt bring their own lunches to school were expected to go out and purchase one, then reassemble in the classroom immediately after.

As I was one of those who hadnt brought lunch, I left the classroom.

Then, I made my way to an isolated location and contacted two specific people with my phone.

I was able to reach the first immediately since I had already sent them a message beforehand.

As for the other person

After finishing up, I quickly bought my lunch and made my way back to the class.

By the time I had gotten back, there were only two people who hadnt returned to the classroom.

The first was Kenji Rokusuke, a student who couldnt be tied down by anyone.

The other person was Hirata Ysuke.

Other than those two, there were 37 students gathered in the classroom.

It seems like Hirata-kun isnt joining after all.

Looks like it.

Although some people were voicing their concerns, we were running out of time with every passing moment.

It would be better for everyone if we held as many event selection discussions as possible. Every single one counted.

Turn over a new leaf, my ass! In the end, that guy doesnt have any plans on taking this seriously at all, does he!?

I could understand why Sud was on the verge of an outburst.

There were probably at least some of us who thought Kenji might take things more seriously, even if just on the surface.

However, reality isnt so kind.

Or rather, humans arent ones to change that easily.

Skating by with colorful, half-hearted words, Kenji would probably continue to give us the slip.

But I dont think that will work forever.

Sooner or later, another exam like The Class Vote would happen again.

And when that time comes, Kenji would be the one who had to pay the price.

Screw that piece of shit, lets just start.

Dont let him get under your skin. Anyways, I made copies of the handout Chabashira-sensei left for us so everyone could have one. Ill distribute them now. Carefully read through it as you eat. Well have a more thorough discussion on the specifics after school.

Now that Hirata was out of the picture, Horikita had no choice but to step up and lead the way.

If theres anything you come across that you dont understand, please feel free to come ask me about it while were eating.

From the looks of it, Horikita had already read through the handout and fully understood everything.
