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

"I do not know."

Hikigaya answered decisively. Horikita seemed to have gotten used to Hikigaya's way of speaking, and continued to herself, "Right now, the rumor in the grade is that Ryuuen refuses to cooperate with Class B. If they must cooperate, Class C must lead. That's why there's been a lot of uproar."

"Hikigaya, what do you think?"

"How should I know? I'm not a worm in their stomach."

Hikigaya couldn't help but complain about how Horikita's way of speaking was becoming increasingly weird.

"So you think you don't need to pay attention to such rumors?"

After a moment of silence, Horikita said seriously, "Yes, this is very likely a smokescreen deliberately released by the other party to paralyze our vigilance."

Hikigaya: "..."

Horikita, it seems like you're doing reading comprehension!

Hikigaya originally thought that Horikita was done with this, but after a moment of silence, Horikita suddenly said: "Thank you for trusting me about what happened during the summer vacation not long ago."

"Oh, I thought you would hate me for reporting them."

"Hate? Why? This was originally a mistake made by them. This is just the price they paid."

Horikita said calmly, "Eliminating the cancer will cause temporary pain, but only in this way can your body gradually recover."

Chapter 6: Such a familiar plot.

Horikita didn't seem to care about Ike being expelled... That's strange!

"The class points I finally got are back to zero in an instant."

Compared to the fact that Chi was expelled from school, she was more concerned about the issue of class points.

"I know what you want to say."

Suddenly, Horikita looked at Hikigaya with a strange expression: "Like you told me at the beginning, the choice of [abandoning] is the worst option. The reason I chose to help Sudo, Ike and the others was because I felt that [helping] them would be more valuable than [abandoning] them."

"I didn't expect you to still remember it?"

Hikigaya muttered.

It can be said that Horikita still remembers their first conversation vividly. It was also the first time someone called him a "frog in a well". Looking back now, he was indeed a frog in a well. Many things and his perspective on things were too narrow.

"Indeed, I acknowledge Chi's value in the uninhabited island exam, and I believe he may bring even greater value in the future."

Horikita's words were as if spoken to Hikigaya as they were to herself: "But the harm he did, or the mistakes he made, far outweighed their value. In the long run, this kind of thing will definitely not happen just once or twice, so cleaning it up this time might be a good thing."

Horikita believed that people who could peek into women's locker rooms and secretly film them would never turn back after doing something forbidden. If she 'forgave' him this time, she would definitely do it a third time in the second chapter. This was the nature of human beings!

As the saying goes, it takes three years to learn good things and three days to learn bad things. It may not even take three days. Therefore, Horikita believes that it is better to clear out time bombs like Ike in time. If the class is at a critical period one day, the explosion of this time bomb may be a fatal blow.

Hikigaya looked at Horikita again with some surprise. Although Horikita was still as arrogant as before, this arrogance was less conceited and more mature.

But he still likes to speak with sarcasm, and of course he is still as stubborn as ever.

Horikita...has grown up.

I don’t know what the president would think when he sees this?

But as Horikita grows, so do others, so this is not something to be praised, but rather something to be taken for granted. If after a semester one continues to stagnate and makes no progress at all, that would be truly disappointing.

……

After school in the evening, Sakura and Hasebe seemed to have other things to do, so Hikigaya was running alone on the playground today. He didn't have to slow down his pace to take care of Sakura and Hasebe like before, so Hikigaya ran 1200 meters. After the run, Hikigaya felt that it was okay. He could slowly try to increase the pace. There should be a lot of room for improvement.

***.

At this moment, applause came from not far away. In the stands of the runway, a silver-haired girl wearing a beret clapped softly.

Hikigaya had actually noticed Sakayanagi a long time ago, but there were many students from other classes in the stands, so Hikigaya didn't care. He just didn't expect that the other party would suddenly stand up and applaud.

"I originally thought Hikigaya-kun was very smart, but I didn't expect his athletic ability to be just as impressive. He can even run a 1200-meter race in under 250 seconds. It's truly astonishing!"

Sakayanagi chuckled.

Originally, Hikigaya planned to pretend not to see it and turn around and leave, but now it seems that the other party does not want Hikigaya to leave.

"Long time no see, Sakayanagi-san from Class B."

"..."

The smile on the silver-haired girl's face seemed to break for a moment, but then returned to normal the next second.

"hehe."

Although there was still a smile on his face, it looked a little cold.

"Compared to Ryuuen from Class C, Hikigaya-kun really knows how to irritate me. I think he should learn from you instead of using such cheap, insignificant, and third-rate tactics."

Sakayanagi leaned on her cane and slowly walked down the stairs, one step at a time, until she came in front of Hikigaya.

"Ryuuen? I think that idiot king would be furious when he heard you say that."

"That's right. After all, as Hikigaya-kun's defeated opponent, Ryuuen must be very dissatisfied."

Sakayanagi said with a smile.

Hikigaya chuckled, ignoring Sakayanagi's question, and said directly, "So what's going on this time? You couldn't have come all the way here just to watch me run, right? Just so you know, I can't high jump."

"high jump?"

Sakayanagi seemed a bit lost in Hikigaya's train of thought, so she simply pretended not to hear him, chuckling softly as she said, "Now that I think about it, it's been ages since before summer vacation, Hikigaya-kun. Furthermore, during summer vacation, Hikigaya-kun gave me such a big surprise. After much thought, I feel like I should thank you in person."

"grateful?"

Hikigaya's expression was odd: "Sakayanagi, you're not saying thank you but cursing me in your heart, are you?"

Sakayanagi: "..."

"Look, if you don't say anything, I'll take it as your admission."

Hikigaya looked as if he'd expected it. "So is it really that hard to just honestly tell me what you really think? There's no point pretending in front of me anyway."

Sakayanagi took a deep breath. "As expected, Hikigaya-kun is way ahead when it comes to trying to irritate me."

"I have to reiterate that I am not trying to provoke you, I am just telling the truth."

Hikigaya seemed completely oblivious to the darkening expression on Sakayanagi's face. "If you feel I've hurt you by telling you the truth, I apologize."

"Indeed, I'm just dying to pick up my cane and hit you on the head!"

Sakayanagi narrowed her eyes and smiled, but the content of her smile was extremely terrifying.

Hikigaya: "..."

"Okay, then we're all even, so if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."

What surprised Hikigaya was that Sakayanagi actually let Hikigaya go like that... No way!

For the next few days, a silver-haired girl could be seen in the stands of the playground, and Hikigaya could only pretend not to see her. But sometimes, even if you don't want to cause trouble, trouble will always come to you. Of course, the trouble is not coming to you, Hikigaya with the dead eyes, but to Sakayanagi in the stands.

Sakayanagi's eye-catching silver hair, her petite and frail figure that looked like it could be blown down by a gust of wind at any moment, and the aristocratic aura she exuded inadvertently always attracted the attention of many students, especially the energetic boys on the playground.

So, Sakayanagi... was approached.

Chapter 7 is such a boring provocation.

It is normal for girls to be approached by others.

From a boy's perspective, this is a very annoying thing, and they think the other party is frivolous, too direct or very impolite.

But from a girl's perspective, the same is true, but it is more likely that they feel secretly happy about the fact that they are very attractive to the opposite sex.

Of course, the above were just the thoughts that flashed through Hikigaya's mind.

And Sakayanagi was hit on by a strange senior student. Huh... why does this plot look so familiar?

Hikigaya turned his head and pretended not to see it. Well... Sakayanagi had a formidable force like Kito by her side anyway, so he didn't have to worry about it at all.

……

"I said, what's up, seniors?"

Suddenly, an impatient voice sounded, and finally Hikigaya came over to "rescue".

The senior student who was interrupted while chatting was obviously annoyed, but when he saw Hikigaya's appearance, he was slightly stunned.

"Oh? So we're acquaintances!"

Hikigaya also noticed the appearance of the senior student opposite him. Coincidentally, it was the student from Class 2-A who he had humiliated at the Keyaki Shopping Center during the summer vacation.

"It's Kinoshita-senpai, long time no see!"

Hikigaya greeted the other party with a half-smile, but many people could hear the sarcasm in his tone. Kinoshita's companions all glanced sideways at the dead-eyed first-year in front of them.

and many more!

First grade, dead fish eyes?

These two words, which originally had little connection, suddenly made their faces change, and Kinoshita's face turned ashen.

"Isn't Kinoshita-senpai going to treat everyone to drinks again today? I'm a little thirsty after running. How about I go have a drink with you, Kinoshita-senpai?"

Hikigaya spoke as if he didn't notice the ugly expressions on Kinoshita and the others' faces.

However, facing Hikigaya's words, Kinoshita did not respond. Instead, he stared at Hikigaya fiercely for a few seconds and then left. However, before leaving, Hikigaya could not hold back his anger and warned with gritted teeth: "Just wait!!!"

These words are exactly the same!

"I remember saying the same thing last time. I think the senior still remembers it clearly."

Hikigaya chuckled in disdain.

Several veins popped up on Kinoshita's forehead, but he finally held it back. He snorted coldly and left with the others.

"It seems like Hikigaya-kun really enjoys this hero-saving-the-beauty scene~"

Sakayanagi chuckled as if she was watching a play. It seemed that what happened just now had no effect on her at all.

"Is this how you thank someone?"

Hikigaya glanced at Sakayanagi.

"Haha, of course not."

Sakayanagi slowly stood up. "They're just a few senior students. They're a little tricky, but we can still handle them. But we were able to avoid trouble thanks to you, Hikigaya-kun."

Sakayanagi bowed slightly to Hikigaya as a token of her gratitude.

"It seems I was being overly sentimental, and this kind of calculating behavior towards others should bring you great satisfaction."

Hikigaya shrugged, and although it was self-deprecating, he didn't seem to care.

"Oh? Hikigaya-kun, do you think this is a script? I really don't know those senior students, or are you upset about being tricked?"

Sakayanagi had no intention of covering it up.

In fact, Hikigaya was very clear-minded. From the moment he came to rescue Sakayanagi, he fell into Sakayanagi's trap.

"But if you knew it was a trap, why did you step into it?"

Sakayanagi narrowed her eyes, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Hikigaya remained silent.

But Sakayanagi suddenly smiled, and for some reason she looked very happy.

"But I didn't expect Hikigaya-kun to be so famous among the second graders. It's really surprising."

Sakayanagi suddenly changed the subject.

"Don't try."

Hikigaya rolled his eyes at Sakayanagi. "You just want to know, so I'll just tell you. That student named Kinoshita, from Class 2A, had a conflict with him during the summer vacation and caused him a great loss. If I'm as famous as you say, I'm probably notorious."

"Bad reputation... is also a reputation. And compared to a good reputation, a bad reputation is more feared, isn't it?"

Sakayanagi smiled.

"It's not just people who bully the weak and fear the strong; even dogs on the street understand this."
