My prediction is it will be a tie because this isnt about removing Ren from the series, she is way too powerful for that and she winning creates its own problems.

I suspect this will go down to another duel, the fact the author just gave Ren another ability but didnt show it means its something he wants to keep hidden for now, if Ren wins its not going to be relevant for quite a while and if she loses, its the same thing as it wont come into play until she have to fight once more and that will also be for quite a while.

I dont even get the replies here, did you people seriously thought this would be smooth sailing for Kyouka? Yes, Ren is overconfident but she have all the reason to be, she always been shown as overpowering in combat and questioning about her ability to lead is ... was she ever shown as incompetent? All this "hate" seems to flow from the fact we know what the Gods of Thunder are planning because the author shown us and somehow Ren should know it because? If the author didnt shown us we would be asking what the Gods of Thunder were planning but then again, we seen far too much of their perspective to not be tainted by that knowledge.

Ren is a necessary character because this isnt My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic ... this is what our current generation thinks? that a hero is one because the author the author says so, Kyouka needs obsocles to overcome and not just win every time because she is the heroine, this is the type of mentality that lead us to the Modern Audience and I am seeing how the studios with focus groups and writers that are told this is what they want just produce the same drivel and after YOU people have ruined Comics you now turn your attention on something else, Manga and Graphic Novels just to put them in the same place Comics are today ... thank God you have no power over Japanese authors or good writers because it seems you never grown past books aimed at tweens ...

Senpai noticed me! Let's ignore everything else and vote for her now!

Did they seriously make counting the votes take multiple chapters? Are we going to see memes about them still counting the votes just like "are they still on Namek?" or "are they still on the boat?" in the future?

Calm down, guy. You're saying an awful lot towards what seem to be imaginary individuals.

Could be a mind control ability?


She's a teen. This is actually pretty accurate.


Let's be a bit fair to Konomi. That secret ability could be a guaranteed god slayer ability. Konomi recognizes strength, and voted accordingly.

Let's not hate her completely because she went against the MC. Well, the fMC, we are mainly following Yuki.
nah. author fucked up. konomi is a junior of kyouka with the same teacher. She would at least favor her senior and yuuki. WHAT's the point of her past character development?

If anything, it shows she isn't swayed by bias and is making an informed decision based on what she knows and has seen. Maybe it's a mistake, but she's still inexperienced and it's hers to make (as her teacher said).

no BIG no. Her entire character is a biased character. Even this chapter shown her biased she is. There is nothing wrong with biased character. The author is the one at fault . It's inconsistent. Her characteristic in past plot already developed for favor to yuki. Unless it's indeed manipulation ability like what above people said

It's very disappointing of them that they didn't take seriously Uzen stalling Ren in their fight, proving that the power gap isn't as wide as she sells it.
And you conveniently left out that she couldn't use all of her strength, because killing Kyouka and Yuuki is easy, knocking them down was harder for Ren.
Specially if Ren still has unknowns abilities.

... that dumb bitch who voted because Ren showed her dick
Ren: Hey konomi, wanna see something big? :huh:

Kon: Sure commander

Ren: Check it out, amazing right? :meguusmug:

Kon: It's so big o_O

Ren: And hard too, wanna touch it :smugnako:

Kon: C-can I really? :lewd:

Ren: Only those who have proven their undying loyalty to me are allowed to touch it Konomi :pepehmm:

Kon: Please commander, I'll do anything just to get a feel of the commanders long hard rod :qq:

Ren: Anything? :meguu:

Kon: Yes commander, anything

Ren: :02:

What's the point of a ballot box if all votes are made public?

Might as well just have a show of hands or vote vocally one by one.
Exactly! What type of BS was that except first scene my mind was just shouting this is BS in every next panel!!!

/r/mildlyinfuriating for sure
It seems stupid at first, but upon thinking about it their electoral process isn't so much about secrecy as it is about preventing bandwagoning. An open, public election would influence votes.

Why the lack of secrecy, then? My guess is it's for transparency. Given the nature of their work, whoever wins the commander seat would do well to win the favor of those who voted for their competition. This isn't really a typical government where an opposition serves as a check and balance to the ruling party.

... Or maybe I'm just overthinking and the author just wants an easy way to show who's on whose side.

Uhm what. How does being shown a secret ability make a good leader? Thats just bribery from what i'm seeing. Vote for me and i'll give you a cushy position.
It shows there power and trust they place on the person they share the secret with.
Because sharing a secret is sometimes seen more valuable and something worthy of gaining trust.
