"So annoying."
Amane's words plunged the entire class into a deathly silence.
Chabashira-sensei's head began to throb slightly.
She knew she shouldn't have expected Amane to cooperate in advancing the situation.
But Amane's actions... made Chabashira-sensei begin to doubt if she was suitable to be a homeroom teacher.
Both the boys and girls in the class were left dumbfounded by Amane's single sentence.
They couldn't imagine that Amane, who had always given the impression of being a sweet and naive girl, would say such a thing.
"Amane, you just..."
Kushida-san was about to twist Amane's meaning.
But Amane immediately noticed it.
"I just said it's annoying. Seriously, all of you. You didn't do well on the test and you're going to beg for mercy, and you're so self-righteous about it. If you can beg on the street after being expelled with the same righteous demanding of charity, I might even look up to you."
Amane shrugged.
Such a gesture was very disadvantageous, and due to her height, Amane's movements actually looked a bit unnatural.
However, Amane's temperament and cute appearance completely covered these flaws.
If one were to ignore the sarcastic expression on Amane's face at this moment, one could only say that Amane's movement was perfectly appropriate.
"Hahahaha, well said. With you here, I don't feel like anything worth worrying about will happen."
Kouenji laughed and left his seat. After giving Amane a meaningful glance, he walked straight out of the classroom.
Everyone felt a bit strange.
However, Kouenji was always a law unto himself, so at this moment, no one was concerned about his whereabouts.
"Miyako, you're not being expelled..."
"I know I'm not! What school rule says I can't make sarcastic remarks? Yamauchi, you're about to be expelled, so you can only desperately beg Suzune, right? If you can kneel down and beg Suzune like Hirata, I can make sure you won't be expelled, you know."
Amane's words immediately froze Yamauchi, who was about to attack her.
"Amane, you're joking, right?"
Wang Meiyu tugged at Amane's sleeve.
She was clearly telling Amane not to say such unreliable things.
"I'm not joking, I'm serious. Yamauchi, seeing how pathetic you are, I'll give you this chance. Kneel down now and kowtow to Suzune, and I'll be merciful and make sure you won't be expelled."
Amane's gaze pierced through the crowd and landed on Yamauchi.
"Huh? H-how is that possible! How could I possibly kneel to a woman! And by what right can you make me stay? Even Chabashira-sensei can't do that, so what makes you think you can?"
Yamauchi retorted loudly, his face pale.
He would never kneel to Horikita, a woman, in public just to avoid being expelled.
Besides, making him not be expelled sounded like pure bragging.
Yamauchi judged that Amane was just trying to trick them with such a method.
"Because I am Miyako Amane."
Amane pulled a strange badge-like object from her pocket and pinned it to her chest.
Then, with one hand on her chest, she looked at Yamauchi with cold eyes.
"You're putting on quite a show. Do you think I'll play along with your childish games? I'll even expel you in the name of Yamauchi Haruki, hahahaha!"
Yamauchi covered his stomach and burst out laughing.
He even tugged at Ike, who was beside him.
Ike felt that Amane wasn't lying.
But for a girl to say such things, it looked like bragging no matter how you looked at it.
"So you're refusing? I'm telling you now, this is your only chance."
"I don't care for your bragging opportunities. You can save them for yourself on the day you get expelled."
Yamauchi decisively rejected Amane's charity.
"Oh dear, what a pity. Since you're refusing, I can only send you off."
Amane took off the badge, gently wiped it, and then put it back in her pocket.
She took out her phone and dialed Horikita Manabu's number.
"Is something wrong?"
Horikita Manabu's voice came from the other end of the line.
However, it was a bit muffled.
Besides some background noise,
There was also an almost imperceptible chewing sound.
"President Horikita, you must have heard about what happened in Class D, right?"
Amane didn't bother with pleasantries with Horikita Manabu and went straight to the point.
As soon as he heard this topic, Horikita Manabu immediately stopped eating.
"I just received this notification."
Horikita Manabu asked tentatively.
He wanted to know the purpose of Amane's call.
And... how Horikita Suzune viewed the fact that the class she was supposed to lead was about to expel fifteen people at once.
What a ridiculous Class D.
"So when do you plan to start dealing with this matter?"
Horikita Manabu frowned.
Logically, such matters should only be announced naturally once the Student Council is ready to take over.
Amane's actions are out of line.
However, Horikita Manabu thought about it and decided to inform her truthfully.
"At the earliest, it might be the 28th of this month. At the latest, the matter will be resolved before the 30th, so it won't affect the point distribution next month… Oh, I think I remember your class is prohibited from receiving points next month."
Amane on the other end of the phone was speechless.
Just state the time.
Why go off-topic?
Isn't that just rubbing salt in the wound?
"So, the Student Council isn't ready to handle this matter yet?"
"That's right. The incident was too sudden, and we weren't prepared at all. I was informed abruptly while eating. Preparing the relevant documents and conducting investigations will take at least two days. Are you calling to plead for them?"
Horikita Manabu showed an understanding expression.
It was probably his sister, who was too afraid of losing face to speak directly, who asked Amane to call him to plead.
Honestly.
Is Horikita Manabu someone who would be swayed by mere family ties?
Upon hearing Horikita Manabu's words,
even Yamauchi covered his mouth, afraid to breathe loudly.
At this moment, if Amane had just said "yes," they might have avoided expulsion.
But to everyone's surprise, Amane frowned.
"Your efficiency is truly slow. Can't you hold a meeting first to let everyone show their faces, and then you can investigate?"
Amane's tone made Horikita Manabu a bit puzzled.
Are those pleading for others this assertive now?
"The Student Council has no such precedent. We will naturally notify your class representative for a meeting and discussion after our investigation is complete. It's too early now."
Horikita Manabu replied with a standardized template.
"Horikita Manabu, stop with the officialese! Your sister is being bullied by those expelled delinquents. They're demanding that Suzune plead for them to avoid expulsion, and now they're even trying to use class opinion to pressure Suzune!"
As soon as Amane finished speaking, those who were about to be expelled immediately panicked.
While they wanted Horikita to plead for them, they had never forced Horikita. This was slander!
Horikita Manabu on the other end of the phone paused for a moment.
"If she can't even handle such a small matter, how does Suzune expect to get into Class A? Tell Suzune to apply for expulsion along with those expelled students. Don't let me be embarrassed at this school."
Horikita Manabu finished speaking and was about to hang up dramatically.
"Suzune is almost crying, you know."
Horikita Suzune, hearing Amane spread rumors about her to her brother right in front of her,
immediately panicked and tried to snatch the phone.
"I'm not crying!"
But a voice came from the other end of the phone first.
"After school today, a disciplinary decision will be announced for the expelled students of Class D. Class D must have at least three representatives present to observe, and Chabashira-sensei, as the homeroom teacher of Class D, must attend."
