In Classroom of the Elite light novel volume 10, Yamauchi garnered significant support from his peers to vote against Kiyotaka Ayanokoji in the special exam called The Class Poll.

This was done as per Arisu’s instructions, and in return, Yamauchi expected praise votes for his class.

However, he was in for a shock when Arisu gave those votes to Kiyotaka as part of her plan to seek revenge on Yamauchi for a past mistake.

Earlier, Yamauchi had caused Arisu to fall and made a disrespectful comment about her.
