Forewords
To skip the trash talk, please directly skip the following two paragraphs. This post contains spoilers.
I wanted to address that my English isn't my first language and it's basically poo. While I totally understand the fact that literally writing any paragraphs, articles and even now English fanfictions extremely depends on my English ability, I still decided to start writing fanfictions though I know these will probably turn out to be bad. So if anyone complains about the language part of the fanfiction, I totally agree and stand with your opinion.
Excluding the language part, judged by the writer himself, other aspects like the plot, dialogues, details etc. of this fanfiction can't be addressed as any good.
In this fanfiction, I skipped the logic, main content and stuff, simply just telling about the result of the story, roughly explains how this exaggerated and unreal ending happens.
I just joined this English COTA community, so I'm not really sure how many fellow members actually kept following the novel until 15 and the later ones. But basically this story's timeline happens a few months after Sakura was voted to leave the school, when the second-grade final exam just ended.
Until now, I think the purpose of writing this fanfiction is quite direct, but I may leave this part to you guys.
A bit of more information: I can say I left this series after 14.5, and I learnt the later on plot by watching spoilers, so I didn't relate the plot of this to the later canon novels.
Chapter 0
When the second grade almost ends, the summer holiday is coming.
Currently, at this moment, there are 38 seats in the classroom of class 2-B.
Starting from one point, it seems that this number hasn't changed.
That is the day when the second person in this class left this class, this school forever. The school that eliminates students anytime when they can't survive in the environment.
There were 40 students in this class, now it's 38.
Class 2-B has gone through many of these challenges, while they never experienced relaxation during these 2 years, and until now, 2 of the students didn't survive throughout the process.
In the two special exams separately, they both failed, became a failure, and their existence vanished.
The first exam was a special exam that appeared in such a sudden and absurd matter. The exam itself was also absurdly unbelievable.
At a time, students in the class denied accepting it, people feared it, were angry about it, class 2-B was in a mess.
Because the exam was to let every student vote for a student in their class to send them into death.
The only way to not let this happen is to provide a huge amount of class points, which was never an option for class 2-B.
However, time passes very fast, when the voting day is already coming really near, the students have to face reality. They are forced to understand that they must solve this problem.
A scapegoat must be chosen.
As a result, Yamauchi was the one elected with a highest vote of 33.
He became the one because of a lot of reasons, but the most fundamental reason that caused this result is his long-term low contribution and poor attitude to most of the classmates.
And the actions he did to the class at the last period of time, didn't contribute to his failure, as the voting section had ended, but reminded everyone once again how he deserved this.
While deep in his heart he never not believed that he would not be chosen in the end, he unleashed all his anger and hate on everyone.
Insulting the female classmates to his heart's content, mocking the people who voted for him telling them he will not drop out, not accepting any other results other than he won't lose.
What he didn't understand is, he does have the entitlement to do all this stuff, if he was actually able to ensure the true result.
But he didn't.
At last, anoccued emotionlessly by Chabashira, he was told that it is absolutely needless to doubt this is a false result.
Losers never have a minimal awareness of their own incompetence.
However, even though Yamauchi just did those abusive insults to class 2-B, leading the classmates to hate him more, this didn't reduce the depression caused to class 2-B much after he left.
No matter who the person is, this never changed the fact that a person in the class dropped out through a special exam.
Neither because of empathy nor sadness, it's because a situation of a student being eliminated forever from this class was presented in front of the eyes of other classmates in a most realistic and close way.
Right then, Hirata completely collapsed. The bright, energetic guy in the middle of class who always helped everyone with his best fell into the darkest abyss. He could not accept this settled fact, set a countlessly longing and thick wall that wanted to let no one reach through.
Things happened later and he was able to open up his heart again. It was not mature, but that time Hirata started to understand he could not 'save' every classmate when a intense situation like this
occurs.
Now in retrospect, this event happened right before one year ago.
With Hirata taking the lead, the class 1-C's atmosphere started to change.
Something quite unclear for a long time to class 1-C finally slowly became more clearer.
They understood they must keep improving by working hard, and this must be done every single day, not temporarily.
If anyone stops by, the following consequence might be unaffordable.
Yamauchi being the most reliable example, warned and reminded the rest of the classmates.
Then, some policies of this school became different.
A system named OAA was added as Nagumo began to make revolutionary changes to the school.
This app allows the ranking judged by the school to reveal to every other student. From that time on, every student's ranking was a complete public information.
Because of this, OAA gave class 2-B a huge motivation to work harder everyday. As most of them wanted to display a good, or at least a fine ranking to others.
Time flew by, not after a long period of time, when the second island exam just ended, the second voting special exam started.
Airi, being the grassroot of the OAA ranking, was sentenced to be the drop out student in class 2-B.
Not everyone was satisfied with this result.
Before, the actual leader of Ayanokoji group Haruka, never doubted a second to utterly disagree with this result till the end.
Including her social status and her whole future school life, Haruka was willing to give out everything she had to exchange for Sakura's stay.
Only one person showed a clear position the entire time, and only one remained to disagree with Airi to drop out.
Even Airi, the victim herself, voted for herself to drop out.
Finally, with a sizzle shout of Airi to Haruka, Haruka decided to painfully vote to agree, had been extremely unfaithful to her heart but did it just to pay the least respect for her best friend ever.
Airi waved her hand to give a last farewell for me, and left the school.
Losers always fail without enough strength.
She didn't recognize, agree with herself. She created her own failure.
No one knew, Airi wasn't trying to not recognize herself, but wanted this consequence to happen only to protect her best friend.
Airi has a clear sense of her own abilities.
Sorrow, sadness, reculatance, when Airi was waving her hand in front of me, these feelings were shown by tears flowing through her face.
However, those mixed feelings never had any resentment.
Airi seemed to want this result the most.
After the second island special exam, Airi once spoke to the Ayanokouji team in the dialect that she was determined to make a change.
Decided to take off the flat frame glasses that blocked her beauty to be shown.
Decided to practice advanced social skills and learn how to speak better.
Determined to jump out of the world that had already satisfied her, explore the outside world, and become an even better person.
And that exam made Airi unable and never had the chance to achieve her goal in this school anymore.
Since then, there has been one less seat in the class.
After the original class C became class B, there were only 38 seats left.
