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

Seeing Sakayanagi standing there motionless like a puppet, Kamuro couldn't help but urge her, "Do you know how hungry you are after the sports meet?"

After hearing Kamuro's words, Sakayanagi finally seemed to come to her senses, and then left the special teaching building with Kamuro.

"Masumi-san, aren't you curious about my relationship with that boy from Class D?"

Sakayanagi suddenly spoke.

"Tsk~ Here we go again."

Kamuro couldn't help but smack his lips. "You'll tell me when you want to. And don't look at me like you're looking forward to hearing me speak. Don't think I don't know. You'll definitely say 'it's a secret'. Tsk... You look so cute, but you're such a nasty guy anyway!"

"Haha, it seems like Masumi-san knows me very well."

For some reason, Sakayanagi couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.

"I didn't want to do that either, but you caught me and ordered me around like a servant every day."

Kamuro was clearly complaining impatiently, but there wasn't a hint of annoyance or dissatisfaction in his voice.

"So, who was that boy just now?"

"This is a secret~"

"Tsk~~"

Kamuro couldn't help but roll his eyes, and Sakayanagi couldn't help but smile when she saw that.

"He is my target, but I need to get rid of someone first."

Finally, Sakayanagi revealed some information.

"Someone? Are you going to take action against that Hikigaya guy?"

"Hmm? Masumi-san's reaction is pretty quick."

Sakayanagi turned her head to look at Kamuro and said something meaningful.

Kamuro didn't seem to notice Sakayanagi's anomaly and said, "Please, besides Yukinoshita, the guy Hikigaya has been the most popular with you so far."

Sakayanagi: "..."

"I do not have."

Sakayanagi said expressionlessly.

Kamuro suddenly stopped and tilted his head: "I don't believe it."

After a long pause, Sakayanagi slowly spoke, "I admit that I looked down on Hikigaya-kun at first, but I never took him seriously either. It's the same as when I was dealing with Katsuragi-kun. He's not someone I could take seriously."

"Really? If you still look down on him like that, Sakayanagi, I think you'll regret it one day."

Kamuro said in a somewhat stiff tone.

"Regret? There's no such word as regret in my dictionary."

Sakayanagi said calmly, "I understand your perspective, Masumi-san. Since you've never seen a true genius, it's easy for you to mistake ordinary people who are a bit more capable for geniuses."

"Maybe."

Kamuro seemed to have no intention of backing down. "But you're wrong about one thing. I've never considered Hikigaya a genius. Sometimes I even think he's a bit clumsy. But what I'm saying is that it's precisely because he's not what you call a genius that he deserves more attention."

"..."

Sakayanagi was unexpectedly silent for a long time before speaking. "Ordinary people are just ordinary people. The gap between ordinary people and geniuses is like a chasm. People often say genius is 99% hard work plus 1% inspiration, but they often overlook the last part: that 1% of inspiration is even more important. Do you understand? That 1% gap is like the difference between heaven and earth."

"So, Masumi-san, do you want to make a bet?"

"it is good!"

Kamuro said without any hesitation.

"How about the loser agreeing to do something for the other party?"

Sakayanagi glanced at Senshiro and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Kamuro agreed without hesitation.

Sakayanagi's smile widened, and he said to himself, "Since you want me to deal with Hikigaya-kun, then let me see what it is about Hikigaya-kun that makes you feel threatened."

Sakayanagi had imagined the scene of meeting Ayanokouji in the special teaching building many times, but she had never expected to hear Hikigaya's name from him.

When Sakayanagi heard Hikigaya's name from Ayanokouji's mouth, he immediately realized one thing, that is, the other party wanted to use him to deal with Hikigaya.

"Haha, I originally thought campus life was boring, but now it's really becoming more and more interesting!"

Chapter 30: Strength is supreme on campus.

"Next, please allow President Horikita to give his final remarks."

On the big stage of the gymnasium, Horikita Manabu slowly walked onto the stage. Below him was a dense crowd of students and teachers. Behind him stood a row of student council members, including Haruno and Hikigaya. There was also a new face, Ichinose.

A week after the sports festival, the new student council term began, and now Horikita Manabu was on the stage making his final speech as the student council president.

"I am proud to have led you all for the past two years, and I am also very grateful for your support of the Student Union. Thank you."

It was a very ordinary opening speech, but just as everyone was waiting for his next remarks, Horikita Manabu bowed slightly to the students and teachers below, then turned around and returned to his original seat.

The noisy scene became quiet for a moment, but then everyone realized... Is this it?

There was no long speech, no inflammatory thank-you speech, and no solemn expression. It just ended with just this simple sentence?

However, many people later felt that it was both unexpected and reasonable. After all, Horikita Manabu was such a student. He always gave people a serious expression, like a "family head", giving people a very traditional and conservative feeling, but at the same time giving people a very reliable and trustworthy feeling.

So maybe some people don't like this style, but no one will doubt Horikita Manabu's ability.

***!

Suddenly, Hikigaya on the stage clapped his hands expressionlessly, and the next second there was warm applause from the audience.

The applause stopped for a long time, and under the introduction of the host, Nan Yun, the next president of the student union, came on stage. However, what was embarrassing was that it seemed that only the second-year students in the audience applauded, and there was only sporadic applause from the first-year and third-year students.

There is no harm without comparison. Although there is no dissatisfaction on Nan Yun's face, it is unclear what he is thinking in his heart.

Nanyun's opening speech was very polite. He first thanked Horikita Manabu for his contribution, and also expressed his gratitude to the students and teachers in the audience. He was completely different from the frivolous and rebellious Nanyun in people's impression.

But the next second, Nan Yun changed the subject.

"Although this may be a little sudden, please allow me to announce a new regulation regarding the Student Union..."

Nan Yun directly stated that he wanted to change the existing student union's term of office, appointment and election methods. Simply put, the term of office of student union members would be changed to indefinite, which of course included the term of office of the student union president.

At the same time, the student union election system will be abolished and the number limit for student union members will be relaxed. Students can now join the student union at any time, and all outstanding students will be accepted. Of course, if the student is judged to be incompetent, he or she will be expelled and eliminated.

"For this reason... I swear to all the teachers and students present here that in order to build a school with brand new rules and regulations, I will completely destroy the outdated system that has been guarded by previous student councils!"

As soon as Nan Yun finished speaking, the students in the audience burst into an uproar, because Nan Yun's words clearly denied the work of previous student unions and revealed his ambition without any concealment.

The student council members behind him, including Horikita Manabu, Hikigaya and others, all had expressionless faces, Tachibana Akane had a look of worry, and Haruno had a half-smile on her face, each of them had different thoughts.

"Of course, I also understand that it will take some time to implement the new system..."

Nanyun turned to look at Horikita Manabu behind him, but he remained expressionless, seemingly unaffected by Nanyun's words. Nanyun looked down at the students below him, his voice suddenly rising: "So, talented students, please climb up as much as you can, and those without will fall to the bottom. I will make this school a truly meritocratic one!"

The entire gymnasium seemed to have fallen into an eerie silence, and then a burst of warm applause and cheers came from the direction of the second grade. In contrast, the third grade seemed relatively silent, and for the first graders who had only been in school for one semester, they seemed a little confused.

However, one thing is certain, because Nan Yun has become the new student council president, there will definitely be more intense competition in the future.

……

"Hikigaya, what do you think of the new student council president's statement?"

Hikigaya had just returned to the classroom when Horikita suddenly came to his desk and asked.

"Not much."

Hikigaya shook his head and looked at the other person's feet.

"The injury on my foot has almost healed."

Horikita noticed Hikigaya's gaze and answered subconsciously, but then she remembered the scene that happened at the sports festival. After thinking about it, she opened her mouth to express her gratitude.

"Horikita...it's been a week and you've only just realized enough to thank me?"

Hikigaya's expression was rather strange. He really didn't know whether Horikita in front of him was really slow or just pretending to be slow.

"me……"

Horikita's face froze, and the gratitude she had just felt towards Hikigaya disappeared in an instant. She couldn't help but glare at him angrily, and when she was about to go back to her seat, she suddenly heard his voice.

"You're worried about the president. No, I should change my words now. You're worried about your brother, right?"

Horikita paused when he heard that.

"There's nothing to worry about. Just now in the gym, anyone with a bit of discerning eyes knew what kind of person our new student council president was."

Horikita was slightly stunned, and looked at Hikigaya with an expression that said, "Hurry up and continue."

"It's a simple logic. When have you ever seen a policy that requires drastic changes announced right from the start like this? Just now in the gymnasium, Nan Yun stole the show, drawing everyone's attention. The content was also extremely explosive, filled with all sorts of explosive points.

Do you think it's normal to be in a leadership role like the student council president?"

Horikita shook her head. After being reminded by Hikigaya, she felt that Nagumo wasn't that scary after all.

"Of course, it's undeniable that Nan Yun's decision and words were full of courage and extreme individualism, and they also received a lot of support. From the perspective of the students in the audience, Nan Yun did indeed grasp the pain points of many students."

"Unite the outstanding students and abandon the incompetent ones..."

Horikita said suddenly.

Hikigaya nodded. "Simply put, his biggest supporters are the elite class. He uses the upper class to rule the lower class. This is the real reason why he wants to build a school that prioritizes meritocracy."

Chapter 31: A trap? An open conspiracy?

Nanyun's policy is actually not a big problem in this school that encourages students to compete with each other, because in this school, students with outstanding abilities are the biggest beneficiaries and also hold most of the say.

Simply put, they are the top predators. In ordinary schools, they are students with top academic or athletic abilities, but being in this school makes these students' advantages more prominent.

Nan Yun actually wanted to win over this group and become a vested interest group. It can be said that Nan Yun's idea and operation showed great ambition and desire.

That's why he needs to create a truly meritocratic campus, with the goal of using this system to control, exploit and dominate other students, ultimately turning it into a "one-man dictatorship."

Similar examples are actually not uncommon in history.

No wonder there is such a big conflict between Horikita Manabu and Nanyun. They are essentially two completely different people.

Horikita Manabu also pursues strength, but compared to Nanyun who measures the final result of everything with strength as the supreme goal, Horikita Manabu pays more attention to "self-growth" in the process of pursuing strength.

It doesn’t really matter who is right or wrong, because everything has two sides, just like different leaders have different leadership principles. What really matters is the impact and effect that this principle ultimately brings.

"Nanyun's approach is indeed more suitable for this school to some extent, but being suitable doesn't mean he will succeed."

Hikigaya said in a deep voice.

"What do you mean?"

Horikita frowned, not quite understanding what Hikigaya meant.

Hikigaya didn't rush to answer, but pointed at Ayanokouji, who had been pretending to be silent but was actually eavesdropping, and said, "Ayanokouji, explain this to Horikita."

Ayanokouji: "..."

Seeing Horikita's gaze, Ayanokouji said, "I don't understand either."

"By the way, Ayanokouji, your performance at the sports festival was truly impressive. Even now, many students are still discussing you. I heard a girl even took the initiative to add you as a friend."

Hikigaya glanced at Ayanokouji and continued, "Horikita, you should also know that Ayanokouji has always been deliberately hiding his strength, right? Then why do you think he suddenly showed his strength in the final relay?"

Before Horikita could answer, Hikigaya spoke up: "Because he also understands that blindly hiding one's strength is not a good thing. The environment will change the way people behave. In this school, blindly keeping a low profile will only make people see him as a stepping stone."

Upon hearing this, Ayanokouji couldn't help but look closely at Hikigaya across from him, and his gaze happened to meet his.

"After the sports festival, Yamauchi, Sudo, and the others have started distancing themselves from you. Why? Because people hate being around people who are better than themselves. Or to be more precise... they're afraid of becoming the most useless and bottom-of-the-barrel member of the class."

Hikigaya's eyes seemed to see through Ayanokouji's thoughts.

“I just feel that as a member of the class, I should contribute to the class.”

Ling Xiaolu answered expressionlessly.

Hikigaya just smiled and said nothing, but everyone knew that this was an excuse made by Ayanokouji, but no one exposed it.
