Classroom of the Elite: OC the unpolished diamond

Volume 3: Assigned role

Chapter 2

Yato Pov:

Ike: Look, it is a river!! A river!! This is a possession spot; there is a mechanism to claim the sport over there! 

Hirata: This is a glorious achievement. If we can maintain the river's source, our situation may vastly improve.

Yeah, the spot that Ike and his group have found is pretty good. You have a river close to you, and the place is good to set up all the tents, so we can pass the week here. 

Finally, the last group who left to explore the island returned to the camp.

Hirata: Perfect. Now that everyone is here, I think we can discuss the last thing we need to settle. We need to choose who will be the leader of the class.

Probably the most important thing for this exam, I personally don't have much interest in the exam, but as I said earlier, I think Horikita is the best choice for the class. If they can win some class points with this exam, it's a great thing.

Kushida gathered everyone to discuss who would be the best leader, and she was the first to give her opinion.

Kushida: I had a lot on my mind, and I thought about various things, but whether one likes it or not, Hirata-kun or Karuizawa-san stand out as persons. But isn't a leader one that you could rely on and also one that has a deep sense of responsibility? I think that Horikita-san is the one that meets both conditions. How about that?

Yato: Great job, Kushida!

Hondou: I agree with Kushida-san's opinion. I also think that Horikita-san can be a good leader. So long as Horikita-san is okay with it, too.

Everyone has started approving this choice, but Horikita hasn't said anything.

Sudo: You don't want to do it, right? Don't force her. I can do it instead.

Yato: No, no, no, no, worst choice... Wait, no, Yamauchi is the worst...

Horikita was about to say something, but her glance switched in my direction.

Yato: Fuck...

Horikita: Okay, I can be the leader if you all want. But before I do, I would like to give my opinion on who should be the leader.

Hirata: Of course. It would be unfair otherwise.

Horikita: I think Fukazawa-kun is the best person for this role.

I was about to retort because I didn't want to be the leader, but the god of the class talked.

Hirata: I think the same. Fukazawa-kun would be a very good leader.

Yato: Wait, wait! Hahaha...We all almost agreed that Horikita should be the leader. Why change your mind now, haha?

Horikita: I just said what I thought was the right choice. We could vote on who will be the leader, and if I win, I will become the leader with no complaints. The same goes for you, right, Fukazawa-kun?

This girl...

She was earnest when she thought I would be a good leader for the class.

With what she said, refusing right now would put me in a tight spot. What are the odds that I will win the vote? Kushida has proposed Horikita, and Hirata thinks I would be the best person to be the leader.

Kushida vs Hirata then huh?

Who has the most influence in the class because this vote will significantly depend on that.
