Committing conscious and active crimes under the pretext of being a minor is simply a danger to this society, so the school not only expelled Chi, but also sent him to the police station. I heard from Yang No that he might be sent to a juvenile detention center later. It can only be said that this outcome was his own fault.
but……
Hikigaya subconsciously glanced at the expressionless man who was standing a distance away from Horikita. Ayanokouji really managed to escape from this incident unscathed.
Not long after, Class D's homeroom teacher, Mr. Chabashira, walked in, his face as cold as ever, even darker than in the first semester.
"I believe you've all seen what happened with Chi on the school bulletin board, so I won't say anything more. But I'll just remind you that school isn't a lawless place. Don't think you're powerful just because you're clever."
Chabashira-sensei's tone was thinly veiled with sarcasm. "I had some hopes for you after the special exams this summer, but now it seems I was terribly wrong. You were assigned to Class D for a reason. Defective products are defective products. I shouldn't have had any hope for you at all."
The students in the audience didn't look much better, but there was nothing they could do to refute it. The 'facts' were right in front of them, and were even posted on the bulletin board.
"I also forgot to tell you that you've once again made history at this school. Last time, we set a record for having all class points deducted within the first month of school. This time, we set a record for being expelled the fastest."
After saying this, Chabashira Sensei clapped his hands to himself, but unfortunately no one in the audience joined in, which made it seem even more sarcastic.
"Okay, now that I've finished talking about those unimportant things, what I'm going to say next is very important. You must listen carefully."
Chabashira-sensei ignored the students and continued speaking.
What Mr. Chabashira was talking about was the sports festival in October, but unlike the sports festivals in other schools, the competition here was more intense.
This time, two classes formed a group, one was the red group and the other was the white group.
The Red Group consists of Class A and Class D, and the White Group consists of Class B and Class C, so this time the two classes will work together to compete against the other two classes.
At the same time, corresponding personal points and class points will be awarded according to the ranking.
Regarding class points, the loser in the Red Group and the White Group will have 100 class points deducted. At the same time, the class total score will be ranked. The first place will have 50 class points added, the second place class points will remain unchanged, the third place will have 50 class points deducted, and the last place will have 100 class points deducted.
Therefore, the theme of this sports festival is not only the competition among large groups, but also the competition between classes. There is no such thing as slacking off.
More detailed events and rules about the sports festival will be announced later. After Chabashira-sensei finished speaking, he left. In the past, Hirata would go on stage and discuss matters related to the exam with everyone, but this time, Hirata still sat in his seat without moving.
On the other side, Horikita also frowned and sighed.
What Chabashira-sensei had just said about the sports festival made her realize the importance of numbers. Class D now had 39 people. Although Chi's athletic ability was not very good, one less person meant that they would naturally be a few points weaker than the opponent in the team competition.
If there are similar special exams required in the future, the number of students in the class will be very important.
Later, after school, Hikigaya was about to leave when a figure suddenly blocked his way.
"Hirata?"
Hirata barely spoke a word the entire day. Even though some girls came forward to express their concern, he brushed them off with the excuse of "I'm fine, nothing's wrong, thank you for your concern."
"Hikigaya-san, would you like to go get a drink together?"

Chapter 2: Hirata's flaws.
In the cafe called "Paret" in the Keyaki shopping center, Hikigaya and Hirata each ordered a drink and fell into silence.
Hikigaya probably guessed why Hirata was looking for him, but he had no intention of saying anything. He just pretended to know nothing.
"Hikigaya-san, I think you have guessed why I came to you."
Hirata spoke slowly, his expression somewhat dejected. "It's about Ike. I know Ike made a mistake this time, and it's undeniable. But I'm worried that after spending a whole semester with everyone and going through the special exam, you're not sad, but are acting like this instead."
"So, Hirata, are you angry about Ike being expelled, or are you annoyed by the attitude of your classmates? Or maybe both?"
Hikigaya looked deeply at Hirata across from him.
Hirata fell silent.
"I see, you have both."
Hikigaya looked a little amused. "I don't know what you think, and I don't want to know. So I'll just tell you my own opinion on this incident."
Hirata raised his head slightly and looked at Hikigaya seriously.
"It's your own fault."
"That's how I feel about this matter."
"But Chi is also..."
"Hirata, you made a mistake."
Hikigaya rudely interrupted Hirata: "I have never considered Ike, or that guy Yamauchi, as a partner."
"How is this possible? We are all in the same class..."
Hirata looked excited.
"Hirata!"
Hikigaya's scolding left Hirata stunned. "Don't impose your own ideas on others! It's your business if you consider Ike a companion, but don't cross the line yourself! It's your own unwarranted expectations that are causing you pain!"
"I expected it without permission. Are you looking forward to it?"
Hirata looked a little dazed.
"I don't know what your definition of a companion is. A classmate? A stranger you just met? Or just a member of a group? I'm not interested in any of these."
Hikigaya said coldly: "In my opinion, we are just gathered together by chance and become classmates. This seems to be a fate that is chosen from thousands of people. But if you ask me to cherish it, I'm sorry, I can't do it, because in my opinion, it is just a means to maintain social interaction, and understanding a person is too difficult.
You consider Chi an important partner, so how does he view you? Don't you know it yourself? Ultimately, it's all wishful thinking on your part, you know? What I hate most is people like you who have excessive expectations and are overly self-aware.
"Hikigaya-san, I still can't accept what you're saying. Don't you have any cherished classmates in your class? If they were expelled like this, would you be as indifferent as you are now?"
Hirata couldn't help but retort.
"That's why I'm saying... Hirata, you always impose your own ideas on others. Do I have to choose between my cherished friend and her being expelled? Everyone is an independent individual. No one can survive without the other. It just depends on whether you want to live. You think Ike's expulsion is unacceptable, but that's just your opinion."
"No, I don't think Chi would want to drop out of school!"
Hikigaya couldn't help but sneer: "Hirata, are you really confused or just pretending to be confused? I'll be frank with you about this peeping incident of Ike..."
Hikigaya told Hirata the truth about the voyeurism incident, and Hirata's face turned paler.
"Mr. Chi actually..."
"So he didn't know he was wrong at all, he just knew he was going to die!"
Hikigaya sneered: "So now you still say he doesn't want to drop out of school? Of course, because until this moment he didn't even realize his mistakes and still had unrealistic fantasies!
If you think that leaving the pond behind is a good outcome, then what about the other students in the class, the victims? So, Hirata, in order to save one person, you have to sacrifice another, and you still think that this is right, the correct outcome. Don't you think this is ridiculous?"
Hikigaya has been holding back on Hirata for a long time, and there are many things he feels like he has to say, so he just takes this opportunity to say them all at once!
The boy named Hirata Yosuke has a huge flaw, which is why he was assigned to Class D.
From the beginning of the school year until now, Hikigaya has discovered Hirata's biggest problem. He had mentioned it before on the uninhabited island and on the cruise ship, but it was not as serious as the current situation.
Hirata is always extremely tolerant, even indulgent, towards the behavior of his classmates. Many times it is clearly someone else's fault, but Hirata always takes the responsibility on himself, thus transferring the conflict to himself to "resolve" the conflict.
But then Hikigaya met Ichinose, and saw a shadow similar to Hirata in her. He gradually understood Hirata's thoughts. Like Ichinose, this was a kind of atonement mentality, and this kind of compensation mentality should only arise after experiencing something.
However, he did not have the habit of delving into other people's privacy, but this did not prevent him from scolding Hirata now.
Hirata's face also turned ugly after being scolded by Hikigaya, but unexpectedly he did not refute, but just lowered his head in silence.
"Hikigaya-san, can you listen to my story? It's about..."
"Hey, wait..."
Hirata ignored Hikigaya's reaction and started talking about a story about Hirata Yosuke when he was in junior high school.
Hikigaya remained silent after hearing this. It was just as he had guessed. Something must have happened to Hirata in the past that led to his current compensatory mentality, but this past was really a bit heavy.
Because of disregard and even fear, his best friend committed suicide by jumping off a building due to school bullying. This kind of thing is indeed very heavy for a 14 or 15-year-old student.
Hirata was trying to atone for his past self, so he would stand up for his classmates whenever they had any difficulties and help solve any problems. No wonder he reacted so strongly to Chi being expelled.
But... Hikigaya felt that Hirata might have something else to say. After all, if it was just this reason, it wouldn't be enough to be assigned to Class D. However, Hikigaya didn't intend to go into details.

Chapter 3: A bit too strong?
Hikigaya actually has some feelings about Hirata's past.
When facing the same problem of bullying, different people will respond differently and get different results.
No one can blame a 14 or 15 year old student for handling this kind of thing well, because even adults can't handle it well, or even make it worse.
"Thank you, Hikigaya-san."
Hirata suddenly said with gratitude: "I am much better now."
"Uh...why are you thanking me?"
Hikigaya's expression was odd: "You don't blame me for scolding you?"
"No, those who are involved are often confused. Sometimes, it's Hikigaya-san, an outsider, who sees things more clearly."
Hirata couldn't help but smile bitterly. "If it weren't for Hikigaya-san, I wouldn't have known that everything I did was just presumptuous. I said I was helping others, but in reality, I was just trying to make my conscience feel better, and I ignored the other person's feelings."
"Actually, there's still a sequel to what happened in junior high..."
Hirata seemed to treat Hikigaya as someone he could confide in. Perhaps these things had been suppressed in Hirata's heart for too long. Although he seemed to be a sunny and warm man, he actually had a dark side in his heart that ordinary people could not see.
"After Sugimura committed suicide by jumping from a building and was rushed to the hospital, the bullies didn't stop at all. Instead, they continued looking for their next target. When I learned about this, I was incredibly angry and... desperate! So, I made a decision..."
When mentioning this incident, Hirata, who was originally a sunny and warm-hearted man loved by everyone, had a gloomy face and even looked a little ferocious. If a girl who knew Hirata saw it, she would definitely be shocked!
"By the way, are there any girls who don't know Hirata?" Hikigaya couldn't help but complain.
"Fight violence with violence. Since those people like to bully, I will use more violent means to make them submit, and this will eliminate bullying."
Hirata said this very calmly, which was enough to make many people drop their jaws.
Even Hikigaya was a little surprised: "So Hirata, you were a delinquent before?"
Hirata was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "Bad? I hadn't thought of that. At the time, I had only one thought in my mind: since normal communication couldn't solve the problem, I would use my own method to solve it. However, the final result was not very good. The school..."
Hikigaya suddenly realized that this was the reason why Hirata was assigned to Class D. If he hadn't said it himself, no one would have associated violence with Hirata. On the other hand, Hirata was really "hiding" deeply!
"I won't comment on your past behavior because I'm not qualified to do so."
Hikigaya sighed and said, "As for now, I don't want to make too many comments. Right or wrong is meaningless. Anyway, I have just said my words. Whatever you want to do is your freedom, and I also have my freedom."
After saying that, Hikigaya looked at the time and said that he still had work to do in the student council, and then prepared to leave.
"Oh, and about the preferential treatment exam..."
Hirata, as if remembering something, quickly called out to Hikigaya, "I'll still be the one paying those 50 points to Kouenji-san..."
"Hirata, after all, I was the one who brought up this matter, so you don't need to say anything more."
Hikigaya said and left.
Hirata couldn't help but smile bitterly as he looked at the empty seat opposite him. At the same time, he felt unexpectedly relaxed. After being scolded by Hikigaya, Hirata felt as if the fog had cleared.
In fact, Hirata himself had vaguely realized long ago that Hikigaya must have suffered similar bullying, but the other party's state, or "mentality" was more mature than anyone else.
It's not that Hirata doesn't have a temper, but when he faced Hikigaya just now, it was more like he was facing a "mature" adult than a person of the same age. Hirata couldn't help but envy the persuasiveness that even he himself didn't know where it came from.
Sometimes, Hirata really wanted to know how Hikigaya cultivated this "strong and mature heart".
"If it had been Hikigaya-san, perhaps the outcome would have been different..."
Hirata couldn't help but think so.
……
The sports festival is divided into 13 competition events, including both team competitions and individual competitions.
Some of the projects require two or more students to cooperate with each other, so from the beginning of the second semester, we saw many students practicing and exercising in the gymnasium and the playground.
Since Hikigaya has been trained by Haruno since the first semester, his physical fitness is also very good, at least he is not lagging behind in sports.
It is actually the girls who find it difficult, and Sakura is the best example. Although there is only one month to cram, it is better than doing nothing.
It was also Sakura who "took the initiative" to seek help from Hikigaya, so in the morning and evening after school, Hikigaya would take Sakura to do proper physical exercise.
But what Hikigaya didn't expect was...
"Xiao Ba, can you take me with you?"
At lunch time, Hasebe suddenly found Hikigaya and spoke hesitantly.
