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

Manabe glared at Karuizawa in the corner: "It's just a scratch on the forehead. I can go to the infirmary by myself!!!"

As he spoke later, one could clearly hear the anger in Manabe's tone.

"Well, if you have any questions afterwards, you can always come to the Student Union. If there's any unjustifiable harm, we'll definitely help you handle it fairly."

After saying that, Hikigaya turned off the recording on his phone.

Manabe's expression relaxed for a moment, but he became annoyed the next second: "Is this okay?"

Hikigaya didn't say anything, just nodded, then walked to Karuizawa's side and patted her shoulder: "Okay, it's okay now, you can let go."

As he spoke, Hikigaya carefully reached out and took the stone from Karuizawa's hand.

"let's go!"

Manabe took a look, gritted his teeth, said something, and turned away.

After a long time, Karuizawa seemed to recover from his trance. When he saw Hikigaya in front of him, he subconsciously grabbed the corner of the other's clothes tightly, just like a drowning person suddenly grabbing a lifebuoy when he is about to drown.

"It's okay now."

Hikigaya tried to soften his tone to avoid scaring the other person again.

"She, they finally left?"

Karuizawa looked around in panic and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that Manabe was gone. However, his anxiety and fear did not disappear. Instead, he kept backing away and curled up his body, as if he was extremely resisting Hikigaya in front of him.

In the last second, he regarded Hikigaya as a "life buoy", but in the next second he couldn't help but dodge quickly.

"No, no, don't look at me, please... don't look at me!"

Karuizawa's tears flowed unconsciously, as if she didn't want Hikigaya in front of her to see her in such a miserable and ugly state.

Looking at the appearance of Karuizawa in front of him, Hikigaya felt suffocated. His ugliest, most cowardly, and last line of defense were exposed to others without reservation. This was undoubtedly a huge psychological blow to Karuizawa.

He could clearly feel that Karuizawa in front of him was full of hesitation and anxiety. If this continued... she would break down again!

"Hey, look at me!"

Hikigaya grabbed Karuizawa's wrist and no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get free. At the same time, Hikigaya's cold voice made Karuizawa shiver. Although he was unwilling, his body still unconsciously "obeyed" the other party's words.

Those were a pair of very special eyes, one could even say a very scary pair of eyes. This was Karuizawa's first impression when he saw Hikigaya for the first time.

Those dead fish eyes seemed to be able to see through anyone's disguise, just like now, everything about himself was exposed nakedly in the other person's eyes.

At this moment, he looked into the other person's eyes again. They were deep and like a whirlpool. Karuizawa had the illusion that he was unconsciously sucked into these eyes.

"You did the right thing just now!"

"But, but I..."

When Karuizawa thought about his own behavior just now, he suddenly felt a deep fear.

"Remember what I told you?"

Hikigaya said sternly, "Don't be defeated by those who bully you! What's important isn't being laughed at or bullied, but having the courage to fight back!"

"Karuizawa, you just did it!"

"Did I do that?!"

At that time, Karuizawa felt her brain was blank, but it seemed as if a voice told her... not to be defeated. Then when she came to her senses, she saw Manabe covering his bleeding forehead.

That voice... seemed to be the same as Hikigaya's voice before him.

"Yes, you did! You didn't just give in!"

"But, but I look so 'ugly' now, everyone will avoid me. I, I don't want to be excluded. I don't want to be the only one..."

Karuizawa seemed to recall some terrible memories, and couldn't help but cover his abdomen with his hands, his face looking extremely painful!

Hikigaya thought Karuizawa was injured somewhere and was about to speak when Karuizawa suddenly lifted up his stained clothes, revealing the snow-white skin of his abdomen and the hideous scar!

Hikigaya's pupils shrank slightly, his expression suddenly became extremely gloomy, and he clenched his fists involuntarily.

"See? This is the mark of 'victory' they left on me! I, I don't want to be abandoned. I don't want to go back to that hell."

Karuizawa cried out in pain.

Hikigaya suddenly grabbed Karuizawa's hands and said, "What if it's hell?! Even if you're ostracized and alienated, so what?! Even if you're left alone, it doesn't matter. As long as you raise your head, I'll be waiting for you!"

"Wait for me?"

"Yes, this is a promise! Even if you are ostracized and alienated by those around you, and even betrayed, I will not give up on you. This is a promise!"

Karuizawa kept muttering "promise" over and over again, and his gray eyes gradually brightened.

"You'll protect me then, right?"

Unexpectedly... Hikigaya was silent, then shook his head. The light in Karuizawa's eyes instantly disappeared, his face pale, and he smiled bitterly: "I knew it, I knew everyone is a liar."

"The only one who can protect you is yourself."

Hikigaya's eyes were particularly clear: "All I can do is teach you how to resist."

Chapter 19: Class D was sniped.

Not long after, Hirata and another girl also arrived, Sato Maya, the girl who had the best relationship with Karuizawa in the Karuizawa group.

When Sato saw the stains on Karuizawa's clothes and the strange look on his face, he quickly put the coat he had prepared on Karuizawa, and then glared at Hikigaya.

If Hirata had not informed Sato of the situation in advance, he might have rushed up to confront Hikigaya.

"Sato-san, I'm leaving Karuizawa-san in your care. Also, please keep what happened here a secret."

Hirata's words made Sato frown. He wanted to ask something, but out of trust in Hirata, he nodded and left the scene with Karuizawa.

"Hikigaya-san, this time it's really thanks to you."

Hirata was grateful, but then asked, "What should we do about this? Karuizawa-san was hurt by the other party, and Hikigaya-san testified. The school should..."

Surprisingly, Hikigaya shook his head: "Hirata, there is no result in this matter."

Hikigaya then revealed the incident of Karuizawa beating Manabe: "Reporting this to the school would not benefit either party. It's true that Karuizawa was bullied by Manabe and her friends, but there's no evidence other than the stains on her clothes. On the contrary, Manabe's injuries are real."

After listening to this, Hirata understood what Hikigaya meant. Although Hikigaya's approach was not the best, it was the most appropriate one.

Moreover, even if the matter is reported to the school and Manabe and the others are punished, it may seem like Karuizawa has regained face, but in fact it will expose the fact that "Karuizawa was bullied", which is actually a bad thing for Karuizawa.

Now everyone has tacitly agreed to handle the matter coldly, which will not only prevent Karuizawa's secret from being made public, but also make the other party afraid to act rashly.

of course……

"I'm sorry I wronged Karuizawa-san."

Hirata sighed.

Indeed, according to Hikigaya's handling of the matter, there is really no way for Karuizawa to get justice for the bullying he suffered this time. However, Manabe was also injured by Karuizawa, so it is hard to say which side suffered more.

In order to prevent Manabe and the others from biting back at him later, Hikigaya also recorded the conversation at the beginning. The purpose was not only to prevent this, but also to warn Manabe in disguise. In the end, everyone understood it tacitly.

"Why are Manabe-san and the others doing this?"

Hirata was confused by Manabe and the others' behavior. The school handled bullying very seriously, and it happened right under the noses of so many students and staff at the sports festival?

Even though there are few surveillance cameras here, I believe the school will not sit idly by if a complaint is filed, and it should not be difficult to investigate the truth of the incident.

No matter from which angle you look at it, the timing chosen by Manabe and the others is not the best at all. On the contrary, it involves great risks.

"It must have been instructed by someone."

Hikigaya suddenly said that the person he was referring to was actually Ryuen, and then he told Hirata what happened in the infirmary not long ago.

"Hirata, do you remember the clash between Sudo and Ryuen during the cavalry battle this morning? It seems this was Class C's strategy for this sports festival. Whether it was against Sudo, Horikita, or even Karuizawa, it was all to defeat Class D. Now it seems that their goal has been achieved."

Hikigaya was also confused by Manabe's actions, but if combined with previous events, it could explain the reason. Otherwise, a "veteran" like Manabe would not rashly choose to act at such an inappropriate time.

"It seems that after entering the second semester, the mad dog Ryuen is finally going to bite people everywhere."

Hikigaya sneered.

If the harassment of other classes by Class C last semester was just minor, then now they have started to attack without any scruples, using all possible means, and as long as they find your weakness, they will do their best to kill you.

Provoking Sudo, framing Horikita, bullying Karuizawa...

During the D class sports festival this time, both the main force and the main students in the class were attacked by Ryuen. Only Hirata and Hikigaya were safe and sound until now. Of course, if the incident of Sudo beating Hirata was also counted, then almost all of Class D was tricked by Ryuen using this kind of underhanded tactics!

"Regarding Horikita-san..."

Hirata seemed a little worried. Horikita had already vaguely become a member of "Hirata's team". The so-called "Hirata's team" was actually the "leadership decision-making team" of Class D.

After going through the two special exams, the Uninhabited Island Exam and the Favored Person Exam, Horikita no longer fought alone, but joined the 'Leadership Decision-Making Group' as a member, or actively participated in the class's decision-making.

Of course, Hirata’s invitation was also a very important reason.

The main members are Hirata, Horikita, and Kushida. Hirata once invited Hikigaya but he decisively refused.

The deployment of the sports festival this time was discussed and decided by the three of them, so Hirata was also very concerned about Horikita's affairs.

"Horikita's situation is probably fine. Ryuuen was just throwing a smokescreen. Once this little trick is seen through, it will be useless."

Hikigaya explained.

In fact, Ryuen's method of dealing with Horikita was not complicated, it was even very simple, but Horikita just fell into the trap.

Using Muxia to frame and threaten Horikita, any other student would not accept Ryuuen's reconciliation proposal, but Horikita thought too much, and was also caught in the trap of pride and her brother's weakness, and suddenly became timid and could not see the overall situation clearly.

"Since Ryuuen knew Horikita wouldn't fall for this kind of trick, he naturally wouldn't really make a big deal out of it. Even if he thought he had done it perfectly, he couldn't guarantee that the school didn't have other ways to investigate. Otherwise, he wouldn't have proposed a 'reconciliation' plan.

Plus, the president is present. Even if he guarantees fairness and justice, some things are unpredictable. He's a smart man and won't hand over the decision-making power to others."

The information and details revealed in Hikigaya's calm words made Hirata wipe the sweat off his face.

"So how does the saying go, it's easier to get things done if you have connections at court?"

Hirata couldn't help but smile bitterly. "That being said, Class C really suffered a great loss. Fortunately, Hikigaya-san was able to join the student council."

At this time, the school broadcast sounded, reminding students that the lunch break was over and they should prepare to enter the afternoon competition.

Chapter 20: I would rather die than let my friend die.

The 13 events of the sports festival are divided into two types: all students can participate and recommended participation.

The class's group projects were basically completed in the morning, and in the afternoon, the recommended projects were carried out, which were the projects where each class's real strengths were demonstrated.

There are competitions for borrowing objects, mixed three-legged race for both boys and girls, tug-of-war for four parties and mixed 1200-meter relay for the entire school year.

The athletes started reporting for the competition in the afternoon. Sudo, who had injured Hirata in the morning, did not show up, and in the end, they had to spend 10 personal points to let a substitute student play. In addition, the event that Horikita was originally scheduled to participate in had to be abandoned due to injury, and also required the payment of 10 personal points for a substitute student to play.

Although 10 personal points is not so serious that the students in Class D cannot afford it now, it is still very painful for Class D, who have experienced several months of zero personal points and survived on the school's relief supplies and wild vegetable packages.

Horikita had no choice, and everyone could understand that, but Sudo was "unforgivable", and even forced Hirata to play despite the injury on his face, which deepened many people's dissatisfaction and resentment towards Sudo.

For a time, Sudo's reputation plummeted again, and he was even given the shameful title of "deserter". As for where this title came from, it was quite ironic that it actually came from Yamauchi's mouth.

The "deserter" Sudo suddenly became a rat crossing the street, and everyone wanted to kill him.

As for Yamauchi's behavior, the reason was actually the same as the reason why he initially suppressed and ridiculed Hikigaya. His purpose was to prevent himself from being at the bottom of the class and to raise his own status by belittling others.

After the voyeuristic filming incident and Ike's expulsion, Yamauchi, Sudo and others have become the objects of everyone's scorn in the class. However, compared to the almost useless Yamauchi, Sudo is at least better at sports. At this sports festival, many people have high expectations for Sudo. It can be said that Yamauchi is already at the bottom of the class.

It's a pity that Sudo messed things up himself. He could have relied on this sports festival to turn around his reputation, but he didn't expect to ruin it himself. Yamauchi would naturally not miss such an opportunity to add insult to injury.

Dead Taoist friend, immortal poor Taoist!

So, under Yamauchi's deliberate instigation, Sudo was labeled a 'deserter'. In fact, Sudo was not seen until the end of the sports festival. It can only be said that he deserved it.

However, the absence of Sudo, Horikita and the injured Hirata had a huge impact on the class. As expected, Class D's performance in the afternoon recommended project was very poor.

"Sakura, you look a little off?"

In the class base camp, Hikigaya suddenly noticed that Sakura's face looked a little strange. Because the afternoon was a recommended event, basically only students with better athletic abilities participated. For students like Sakura and Hasebe, it didn't have much to do, so they were usually responsible for miscellaneous chores in the base camp.

Sakura was silent for a moment after hearing this, then looked around cautiously, her face looking very uneasy, and she stammered, "Well, just now during lunch break, I, I felt like someone was following me."

Hikigaya couldn't help but frown, then looked at Hasebe beside him with a questioning look. Hasebe also frowned: "I've been with Airi the whole time, but I don't feel much."

"But, maybe I'm too sensitive."

Sakura lowered her head embarrassedly. After all, she was usually very afraid of other people's eyes. There were so many students and staff at the sports festival, so it was normal for her to feel uncomfortable.
