There is something wrong with Hikigaya's classroom of supreme ability

"Uninhabited island exam?"

Teacher Chabashira was slightly stunned. She had already noticed that something happened in the recent uninhabited island exam that she didn't know about!

"What are you two hiding from me?"

Chabashira-sensei frowned and asked in a bad tone.

"Haha, Saeda-chan is really good at pretending! Not only does he have special students like Ayanokouji, but he also has students with outstanding abilities like Hikigaya. Logically, such students shouldn't even be assigned to Class D."

Mr. Hoshinomiya seemed very annoyed and wary of Mr. Chabashira, or the fact that Class D, which was clearly the bottom class, had such an outstanding student!

Even... Hikigaya could vaguely hear the envy in Mr. Hoshinomiya's words?

Teacher Mashima nodded unexpectedly, as if he agreed with what Teacher Hoshinomiya said.

"Xiao Zuozhi, what on earth are you planning? Don't be too greedy. Do your own duty well and don't stretch your hands into places that don't belong to you, just like you did before."

Xing Zhigong was joking and laughing, but later on his tone became somewhat warning.

Chabashira-sensei remained silent.

"Wow, wow~ I wish Hikigaya was a student in Class B. Then I could be with Ichinose..."

Hoshinomiya-sensei hugged Chabashira-sensei as if he was drunk.

After that, Hikigaya didn't plan to continue listening because he noticed that other teachers were about to get up and come out, and they could easily find him next to the vending machine.

"Sure enough, even the groupings have a certain pattern. No wonder the Tatsuna team has gathered students like Katsuragi, Ryuen, and Hirata."

This is an unexpected discovery, but it is not very useful in the current situation.

After Hikigaya returned to the room, Hirata seemed to be explaining to everyone about the first-years' joint agreement on [Result One]. Miyake Akito and Hondou Ryotaro both accepted it very readily and signed their names on the contract. At the moment, Hirata seemed to be persuading Koenji.

Just as expected, Koenji ignored Hirata completely. Even Miyake and Hondou joined in, but Koenji still acted as if he was going his own way.

"Hirata boy, even if I don't sign the contract, I can confidently get 50 personal points, so why should I obey other people's orders? This is not my style!"

Kouenji shook his golden hair, looking proud.

"But if that's the case, Kouenji-san, the other students in the class will have to pay some of their personal points as compensation. I don't want you to be resented by the other students because of this, so Kouenji-san, please agree to my request!"

Hirata's tone was very sincere, and he even bent down and bowed.

Both Miyake Akito and Hondou Ryotaro were frightened by Hirata's actions, but Koenji still did not respond. Perhaps for this chaebol's son, these were already commonplace.

"Haha, I never care about the eyes of people around me, and being hated by others is the best medal of being a strong man." Kouenji was completely unmoved. As for being hated by others, it was just a joke. He never cared about these things, otherwise he would not be called a 'weirdo' by everyone!

Hondou and Miyake seemed a little angry and were about to scold Koenji when Hirata quickly stopped them.

Hikigaya stepped forward, patted Hirata on the shoulder, and whispered something in his ear. Hirata nodded slightly and said to Kouenji, "How about this? Since you've already found a favored person, meaning you can get 50 personal points and 50 class points, how about this? As compensation, I'll give you an additional 50 points, for a total of 100 million personal points. What do you think of this suggestion?"

"Oh?"

Kouenji looked at Hirata in surprise, then his eyes fell on Hikigaya behind him, with a meaningful smile on his face: "No Problem!"

After receiving a positive response from Koenji, Hirata finally smiled, and then looked at Hikigaya with eyes full of gratitude.

Hikigaya ignored Koenji's gaze. Hirata's style of doing things would be perfectly fine when facing ordinary people, but he was completely defeated when facing Koenji, because if he wanted to "trade" with Koenji, he had to first offer him satisfactory benefits!

So Hirata's approach was wrong from the beginning. When negotiating with someone like Koenji, you can't talk about feelings, you can only talk about interests!

"By the way, Hikigaya-san, I have something to discuss outside, can we?"

Hirata suddenly turned to Hikigaya before leaving the room.

Hikigaya nodded, and then he and Hirata went to the vending machines in the lobby. Since it was around 11: in the evening, there were basically no other students in the lobby.

"Hikigaya-san, I'm really sorry to disturb your rest so late."

Hirata apologized right at the start. Facing Hirata, Hikigaya always felt helpless. He thought, "You shouldn't hit someone who smiles at you." If it was Horikita, he would have confronted him long ago.

Hirata then spoke up, "It's about Karuizawa-san."

Hikigaya had a premonition of trouble when he heard the name 'Karuizawa'.

"Actually, it's like this. Karuizawa-san just found me..."

Not long ago, Karuizawa found Hirata who had just returned from the meeting room and complained to him...

"You mean 'I bullied Karuizawa'? And that she was bullied by Manabe and the others from Class C?"

Hirata smiled bitterly: "Of course I know that Hikigaya-san is not such a person, and I also have great faith in Hikigaya-san's character, so I think it is more of a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding? That's not necessarily true, is it?"

Hikigaya sneered.

"Ugh……"

Hirata couldn't help but sigh when he saw Hikigaya's expression: "Hikigaya-san, please promise me not to tell anyone else what I'm going to say next. It's about Karuizawa-san's past..."

Chapter 214: The price of indulgence.

Regarding Karuizawa's past, it is actually just as Hikigaya guessed at the beginning. The seemingly strong blonde hot girl now was a girl who was bullied when she was in junior high school.

So in order to escape from this hell, Karuizawa applied for the High School of Idolization. She needed to start her life over again, so the first thing she did was to find Hirata, who was the most popular and beloved student in the class at the time, hoping to become Hirata's 'girlfriend', in order to establish her own status and ensure that she would not be bullied.

"So you agreed to become her boyfriend in order to help Karuizawa?"

Hikigaya looked strange.

"It's a pretend 'boyfriend-girlfriend' relationship."

Hirata quickly pointed out the mistake in Hikigaya's words.

"Uh…isn't this even weirder?"

Hikigaya didn't know whether to praise Hirata's character or call him stupid.

He could understand Hirata's desire to help Karuizawa, but wasn't this method too strange?

But thinking about Hirata's behavior so far, he would help students in need without reservation, so it is understandable that he would agree to Karuizawa's "request".

But just as Hikigaya said about Hirata...

"Hirata, I know your intentions are good, but have you ever considered that you yourself bear a large part of the responsibility for the situation in which Karuizawa is now so arrogant and bullies his classmates at will?"

Hikigaya would not tolerate Hirata and would directly confront him.

He knew that Karuizawa was also a victim, but that was not an excuse or reason for her to bully others. Because I have been hurt before, so I have to let you get hurt too?

What kind of bullshit logic is this?!

In fact, the situation in Karuizawa, where the former bullies have become the new bullies, is very real and common, and is even ubiquitous in society.

This is the inherent revenge mentality of human beings, and this is why bullying is so abominable!

"sorry."

Hirata bowed his head and apologized.

Hikigaya's expression was a little cold: "So Hirata, you asked me out just to talk about this? To apologize to her?"

Hirata remained silent and said nothing.

"I understand your desire to help Karuizawa, but I cannot agree with your actions. You can see for yourself how Karuizawa has slowly turned into the 'bully' she once was. This is the result of your actions."

"I will talk to Karuizawa-san about this. This is my fault. I'm really sorry."

Hirata lowered his head in disappointment, then looked up as if he had made a decision: "Hikigaya-san, I'll ask Karuizawa-san out to discuss this matter at this time tomorrow, so please be sure to come. Please!"

Hikigaya pondered for a moment and wanted to refuse, but seeing Hirata's expression, he nodded and agreed.

After discussing Karuizawa again, Hikigaya suddenly asked, "Hirata, are you aware of the identities of the three favored students in our class?"

Hirata hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

After returning to the dormitory, Hikigaya wrote the names of the three favored students in Class C on a piece of white paper, and then wrote the names of Karuizawa Megumi, Minamibo and Kushida Kikyo.

These were the names of the three favored students in Class D that Hirata told him. Looking at Kushida's name on the white paper, Hikigaya showed a look of sudden realization, and at the same time, he couldn't help but think of Kushida's strange behavior before.

Before long, the white paper was filled with densely packed names, the names of the students from each class in the twelve groups. Hikigaya's brain began to work rapidly, and suddenly, as if he remembered something, he wrote down the katakana and phonetic symbols next to the name of each group, and then wrote down the phonetic symbols of each student next to the name of the favored student.

"really……"

Hikigaya soon discovered the pattern. There was indeed a certain pattern for the favored ones in each group, and this pattern was hidden in the names of the groups. At first, Hikigaya didn't understand why the school used the somewhat complicated and difficult-to-pronounce name "Twelve Earthly Branches". It turned out that the identity of the favored ones was hidden in it.

Based on this rule, Hikigaya easily found the identities of the favored students in Class A and Class B.

Of course, Hikigaya couldn't be completely sure whether this speculation was accurate, because he didn't know the identities of the favored students in Class A and Class B, and couldn't verify its accuracy. But Yotsuba was different. She knew the identities of the favored students in Class A and Class B. If she also discovered this pattern, she only needed the identity of any favored student in Class C or Class D to verify it.

This is the 'solution' to this preferential treatment exam. As long as you have enough information, you can eliminate a lot of wrong interference and find the correct 'answer'!

This is probably why the school specially arranges different time periods and different locations for exam instructions. The purpose is to reduce the probability of Class A and Class B cooperating as they do now, which leads to the pattern of preferential treatment being discovered in advance!

……

The next day, the second day of the preferential examination, at the group discussion meeting, everyone's expressions were unexpectedly strange today. It seemed that they had all obtained the relevant information through the class in the morning.

"Hachi, do you think what Hirata said this morning is reliable? This is the result of twelve teams reaching [Result One]. If a traitor shows up, wouldn't that mean they're all doomed?"

Hasebe sat next to Hikigaya very familiarly, and his soft body unconsciously moved close to Hikigaya's ear and whispered.

"There are risks, but they're not a big deal. We have the binding force of the contract, so even if we have ulterior motives, we wouldn't dare to act recklessly."

Hikigaya unconsciously sat a little further away.

"Huh? This is the first time I know there's such a thing as a contract."

Hasebe was amazed, but then, as if realizing something, he said worriedly, "Hachi, if the school knew about this, would they intervene? After all, this is over 8000 million personal points. If I were the school, I definitely wouldn't want to pay such a large sum to the students!"

"But if I can get these 50 personal points, then I won't have to be so frugal every day anymore..."

As Hasebe spoke, she didn't know where the topic went, but she was still talking with great interest. Hikigaya also gradually discovered that Hasebe, who seemed aloof and aloof on the outside, was actually a surprisingly friendly and talkative girl after getting to know her better.

This is in stark contrast to Horikita, who is also aloof and aloof.

All the group discussions on the second day also ended in this somewhat weird atmosphere.

Late at night, Hikigaya arrived at the designated location as agreed with Hirata, and Karuizawa, who had been waiting for a long time, thought that Hirata had finally arrived, but the moment he saw Hikigaya, he was stunned!

215

Chapter 215: Karuizawa's host.

"You, why are you here?!"

The moment Karuizawa saw Hikigaya, his mind went blank and his body began to tremble unconsciously. Ever since what happened yesterday, Karuizawa had nightmares all night, dreaming that he was being tortured by this terrifying man in front of him...

When Karuizawa finally came to his senses, the first thought in his mind was not why the other party appeared at the place he and Hirata had agreed to meet, but he wanted to turn around and run away immediately!

That’s right, originally the idea of Karuizawa’s escape only existed in her mind. After experiencing what happened yesterday, her body has now started to move unconsciously. She is really very scared!

Just as Karuizawa was about to take a step forward, she suddenly stopped because she happened to see Hirata behind Hikigaya.

"Hirata, why are you with him..."

Karuizawa's face turned pale instantly, as if he had thought of something. He couldn't help but yell at Hirata: "Hirata, you clearly said you would protect me! You liar!"

Hirata looked at Karuizawa across from him calmly and shook his head gently: "No, Karuizawa-san, you misunderstood. I'm helping you because you're in trouble, but that doesn't mean I'll hurt other students for you. Furthermore, your behavior has caused me a lot of trouble, which is contrary to my original intention."

Karuizawa looked at Hirata in front of him in disbelief, as if he was meeting this man for the first time. He felt extremely unfamiliar and couldn't help but take a step back.

"I've said from the beginning that although I agreed to be your boyfriend, this is just a fake relationship. I don't mind being used by you, but it's impossible for me to take care of only you."

Hirata said calmly.

Karuizawa's expression changed drastically: "You, why are you suddenly talking about this? And Hirata, you, you're not usually like this!"

She didn't expect Hirata to tell Hikigaya in front of him that she and Hirata were fake boyfriend and girlfriend. Wasn't this telling him that she was just a student without any "backer"?

Moreover, the Hirata tonight was completely different from the Hirata that Karuizawa usually knew. In the past, as long as he raised the "difficulties", Hirata would help him without hesitation.

"Yes, it's you?!"

Karuizawa looked at Hikigaya in horror. This was the only possibility she could think of!

"Before this, Karuizawa-san, I have already verified the truth with Hikigaya-san. I hope you can apologize to Hikigaya-san."

Hirata walked up to Karuizawa and looked at her expressionlessly.

Karuizawa couldn't help but step back, feeling that Hirata in front of him was extremely unfamiliar.
