SPOILER (Rumor) 2nd Year Voll 5

- Horikita's class was given to choose between, getting 100 class points at the expense of 1 students, or don't sacrifice someone. Since Kushida kept saying "Yes", they decided to sacrifice 1 students.

Finished reading. It was very good. It is tentatively my favourite volume of year 2 arc so far. It did a lot of things I wanted, particularly Kushida and Ayanokouji getting exposed to the entire class, KiyoKei relationship going public, Ayanokouji Group getting dismantled, among other things.

Kanzaki is a legend. I can't wait for the fallout next volume. Perhaps Nagumo will face off against Ayanokouji in the sports festival. I hope Kinu can top Manabu vs Ayanokouji.

Just finished reading Volume 5. This volume really drain my emotion. Its good Kushida getting exposed, even though horikita defendef her from getting expulsion. Its sad to see Airi (My favorite) getting expelled.

Cant wait to see what will happens after this incident in the next volume.

Wtf I didn't really expect that this LN can make me feel emotions
That part when Sakura said goodbye to Kiyotaka was so good, it makes me feel sad but happy at the same time that she accepts it and then there's our Edgy MC that maybe didn't really care but this was one of the volumes that he showed that he's a human and not like some emotionless,robot kind of character(you'll get what I mean)

And so this is one of the amazing volumes in this LN
I'd really expected something like about their reactions in their relationship between Kiyo and Kei but I'll just wait for the next volume to find it out

ngl this volume did not reach my expectations. I did not agree with their final decision in both horikitas class and ryuuens class. I really liked ryuuens plan in fishing out anyone who would oppose him and the trap he set for him was amazing but katsuragis intervention had me pissed.

As for the decision to expel airi, i was not satisfied at all. Its not like i like airis character or anything, i even find her annoying, but i believe that expelling kushida was the right choice in the end. horikita kept speaking of her potential but in the end i dont see it having that much worth. This decision lowered my opinion of horikita alot.

But on the other kiyotaka being ruthless enough to take down his own "friend" without even showing a sign of him caring just made me love him even more

This was the best year 2 volume imo
I was happy that bitch Kushida's true nature was exposed beautifully. Hopefully she will be humiliated in the future like Amasawa did in volume 3.
Hopefully Ayanokouji will be able to smoke out Yagami and settle his score with him else he's gonna be bad news ngl.
As for Airi's expulsion it was heartbreaking but Kiyopon with his ruthlessness I'm just loving him more and more

Hopefully next volume will also be a great one cheers 🍻

just finished it, i quite liked V5 cuz it was exposing kiyokei relationship, kushida's identity
and making kanzaki one of my favourite characters in this LN
but the thing that annoyed me was that illustration where horikita sat on her chair and thinking of whether she expels kushida or not? i was like please ST*U STOP BEING SO NAIVE OM*G... anyway, am i the only one who thinks that she's useless.
the only good move she made for me was when she inverted questions for ryuen's class and that's all

I want to thank the mal dude who wrote character description of airi, so anime guys who saw first season and clicked on her profile and saw the spoiler thinking 'its fine I just finished s1' and got hit by a truck of emotions because of the incident described there takes place in 20th book. I was one of them so I thought I appreciated this visionary.

This volume had the best aspects of cote but I have deep and serious problems with it.

They never needed to go in the expel vote. They could've guessed who was the traitor quite easily, even every guy who studies logic can do it. It's one of the very basic problems. Here's the solution: At every vote, suzune selects one person and instructs them to flip their vote. If they are innocent, they'll flip it and result would be 37/2. This would take 38 turns, but they could've limited the search easily. They couldn't use binary division because kushida could manipulate her vote and throw confusion. They even could've forced kushida to take first or second turn coz they already knew.

If kushida thought she'll just flip hers when it was someone else's turn, suzune could instruct to continue vote and told some other person secretly to not flip it to get consensus. There can be many ways to point to her because they already knew.

This really sucks man. I feel like airi was cut off from the story coz she didn't have much role later. She was the first good friend kiyo made, and was her best friend for a long time. That means he will throw out anyone if the need arises.

Also I think people hate kushida for wrong reasons. Kiyo is basically doing the same thing. Confronting people when they're vulnerable and taking advantage of situation. She should be hated for showing her true face to ryuuen, while only targeting our duo. Also she is helping yagami, when she should eliminate him instead because he'll be here longer than she will. She could have even asked kiyo's help with the contract as the sacrifice.

Anime was it's best 20000 years ago, when cavemen drew art with real depth.
Modern anime is all garbage. I miss great old days of anime.

Expel the unstable, bipolar, sly and manipulative classmate who has been actively sabotaging your class from the beginning or expel an innocent girl?

Horikita: 🤔 the potential tho...

I get that Kinugod loves his plot twists but my god this decision was farcical. No way any sane human ever plays devil's advocate for Kushida after seeing her try to make your class burn over her persecution complex

Also what is the logic behind Kushida voting in favor? Did she honestly think that she could expel Ayanokouji/Horikita in this exam? She knew the voting had to be unanimous and Horikita and Ayanokouji would never vote each other out right?

All this bs and the insane gaslighting at the end.. yeah probably my least favorite volume so far

Its a good volume and actually made me feel emotions. The only thing is the ending, which I find it quite hard to believe that the class actually kept Kushida and chose to expel Airi. I do get that the school's whole point is to rank people based on their abilities, but how could the entire class still chose to expel Airi after hearing Kushida talking so much shit about them? It's also hard to believe that after hearing Horikita saying Kushida has potential, they just chose to go along with it and sacrifice Airi who was humble did no harm to class. Even from the sense of keeping the class united, its a much better choice to keep Airi, rather than Kushida who already got her secret revealed to the entire class.

Man… Up until this point I was willing to go to bat for Horikita because I really believed in her character, and leadership skills. (in many fashions I still do), but this was not at all satisfying as an end. It was nothing short of selfish, her unyielding desire to cling to what Kushida ‘could be’ ends up seriously fracturing the class.

Do I think it will be resolved after some time? Of course, but just like I was disappointed with the anticlimactic end of Tsukishiro’s looming threat in the previous volume, the seeds of annoyance have finally begun to grow for me towards Horikita. She made the wrong call here, but I suppose it doesn’t matter if she’s simply growing in Ayanokouji’s petri dish so-to-speak. Great volume overall though.

So basically, Horikita has a hard on for challenges and looks at Kushida as a pet project to prove to her brother that she can change people and be a leader. Kushida could kill a classmate and Horikita will find a way to save her.

I’m sure the author will do a great job in suddenly resurrecting Kushida and making her vital in the class A run-up but in no way should that vote have passed if the class was actually thinking rationally rather than letting their leader roll the dice on fixing a ticking time bomb that already half imploded.

This volume had a great premise but ending feels so artificial to make Ayanokoji this monster cold calculating mastermind when Haruka or anyone really couldve instantly turned the table back onto Kushida and Horikita being selfish, even if you take the pragmatic vision of wanting to reach class A (lots of potential upside for Sakura in cultural festival vs Kushida traitor).

My fearless forecast prediction is that the author already destined that Kushida will somehow be the catalyst to make Kouenji usable since he never wants to expel either of them.

what the hell i have read a ton of books in my life but Airi's expulsion got me more emotional than any other book 😣😣😣 especially the scene where she came to Kiyotaka to say goodbye, it made me so sad that i almost started crying
when Haruka was talking about renovating her i envisioned the future Sakura, the prettiest girl of Horikita's class that overcame her weaknesses and became more sociable, smarter and stronger. that was the moment when i started to seriously care for her character, especially for her possible development.
i really want to blame Kushida, Horikita or even Ayanokōji for Airi's expulsion but I cant bring myself to blame any of them. i also think that if Kushida changed and started being honest with everyone else, she would become a strong asset to Horikita's class and that's why i can't hate Horikita for taking that risk
Kushida also cannot be completely blamed for Sakura's expulsion because she was what she was and somebody just had to be expelled. she was the one started the situation that resulted in Airi's expulsion but she was not the one who guided it towards choosing her
if i were to choose then i would 100% expel Kushida, but if you exclude her from the equation then Sakura with the lowest OAA score is unfortunately the obvious option. even if Kiyotaka was more emotional then he would still chose to expel Sakura, as in this specific situation, if he chose anyone with higher OAA, it would have created hesitation and probably resulted in losing the exam. i can't find any flaws with his reasoning to expel Airi.
still i will mourn Sakura's expulsion for at least a few volumes ahead
im not a native english so some sentences may be incorrect but i hope that they are at least understandable
also if you read through my somewhat pathetic soliloquy and have some thoughts then i'll be happy if you write something in response 😸

Just finished volume 5 and I feel the same. This scene broke my heart... poor Airi... I hope her sacrifice won't be in vain.
This volume is my favorite one and also the saddest one so far... It put me in a state of emotional turmoil.

I also want to say that I'm very happy and pleasantly surprised that Kikyou Kushida hasn't been expelled. I really thought she was going to depart from the school from the moment I started knowing what the unanimous exam was about. She's valuable for the class and I always had hope that she could change for the better. She's also one of my fav character so I might be biased I guess... :D
