Ayanokoji makes his final decision on how to deal with Ryuen and the Class C threat.

Turns out the one spreading the rumors was Hashimoto, who did so at the behest of Sakayanagi. Shortly thereafter, Sakayanagi appears before Class C and she informs them she has evidence regarding the rumors about Ichinose.

Everyone in Class C has passed their year-end exam. While relief flows through the classroom, Chabashira announces a special exam. It will be a class vote to choose three people worthy of praise and three worthy of censure.

Class C considers various strategies for the special exam, but they all lack a decisive factor. Hirata remains disappointed in the class vote result. Ayanokoji calls out to Hirata, who acts coldly towards Mii-chan who is worried about him.
