Surprisingly, Hikigaya acted as if he was concerned, but his body didn't move at all, and he even seemed to be looking down on the other person from a superior position.

So arrogant and contemptuous!

This thought suddenly emerged in Kiriyama's mind, but it was followed by annoyance of being teased and despised!

But before Kiriyama could open his mouth to reprimand him, Hikigaya said, "Those with ability will show off their abilities, while those without will fall."

This is what Nanyun said at the student union election meeting half a month ago, but now when it came out of Hikigaya's mouth, it felt like he was slapping Kiriyama in the face, as if he was mocking him for being a student with no ability.

"Of course... I'm not referring to you as a student without any ability, Vice President Kiriyama. Don't get me wrong."

Kiriyama: "..."

"What I mean is that Secretary Mizowaki probably hasn't had much experience with club affairs before, so there are bound to be some issues. It's understandable that the club is unhappy about this."

"It's not just this matter, there's another matter!"

Kiriyama looked annoyed, but Hikigaya seemed to be deliberately avoiding the topic. Instead, he looked at Kiriyama calmly and said, "But if you blame others for your own shortcomings, I think such students are not suitable to stay in the student council that President Nanyun hopes for. Vice President Kiriyama, am I right?"

Kiriyama's eyes widened at that, and he almost burst out cursing. "What do you mean by lack of personal ability?" "You're clearly relying on your connections and relationships with third-year student Handa to deliberately cause trouble for Mizowaki. As a result, even with the new student council term, the second-years, as the new leadership, have no control over club affairs!"

Previously, club affairs were handled by third-year students Handa and Akane Tachibana. Of course, the former was the main person in charge. Logically, it should have been handed over to Kiriyama to manage after the change of leadership, but the club simply did not recognize them and instead only recognized Hikigaya, a first-year student!

What's this? !

Moreover, Hikigaya was clearly mocking the Secretary Mizowaki's incompetence. Now everyone in the student union knew that Mizowaki was Nanyun's man and was in the same class!

Hikigaya is clearly trying to put himself on the fire!

asshole!

Kiriyama stared at the other person angrily, but Hikigaya on the other side had no expression on his face, even looking a little indifferent. Kiriyama took a deep breath and walked over to Hikigaya, gritting his teeth and whispering, "Hikigaya, don't forget that we are in the same boat now. That person told you to cooperate with me. What are you doing now? Don't cause me trouble for no reason!"

But what Kiriyama didn't expect was that Hikigaya suddenly laughed out loud as if he heard a funny joke.

"Let me tell you, Vice President Tongshan, weren't you always calling me President so affectionately before? Why are you acting like that now?"

Hearing Hikigaya's ridicule, Kiriyama's face instantly turned red. Just as he was about to speak, Hikigaya interrupted him: "But~ I can understand your situation. Now that President Horikita has stepped down, if you can be flexible, why can't I be a little flexible?"

"you!!"

"Also... President Horikita never told me to cooperate with you. Please don't make up non-existent images on your own, or you'll easily be mistaken for someone with mental problems."

Hikigaya said with a sneer.

"Are you worthy of President Horikita's trust?!"

Fire could almost be spewed from Kiriyama's huge eyes. He had never expected that Hikigaya in front of him would be so "rebellious". The election meeting had just been over for less than half a month, and Horikita Manabu was still in school and had not graduated yet. How could Hikigaya be so blatant?

"what?"

Hikigaya couldn't help but burst out laughing after hearing what Kiriyama said. "Vice President Kiriyama, I have a piece of advice for you. He's no longer the student council president now, so you should call him Horikita-senpai. Got it? If President Nagumo hears this, well, you're in big trouble."

As he spoke, Hikigaya's smile became very cold, which made Kiriyama feel a chill. At the same time, he finally realized one thing, that this dead-eyed first-year student in front of him was not as simple as he seemed. When Horikita Manabu introduced Hikigaya to him, Kiriyama thought that Horikita Manabu was worried about Hikigaya's situation after he stepped down, so he specifically found him to help take care of Hikigaya.

Now it seems that it is not the case at all. At such a moment, Kiriyama actually felt a little regretful. Not only did he underestimate the other party, but more importantly, he seemed to be unable to control the other party at all!

He had heard a long time ago that there were a lot of troublemakers in this year's first grade, and now it seems to be true!

In the end, Kiriyama just left the student union office with the words "take care of yourself" in shame.

"What's matter?"

Just as Hikigaya was about to return to his seat, he noticed Ichinose looking at him like a curious baby.

Chapter 35: Become a qualified school animal.

"Is there something on my face?"

Hikigaya finally couldn't stand Ichinose's constant staring.

Ichinose tilted his head slightly, stroking his chin and asking curiously, "The Hikigaya-kun just now was really different. He felt completely different from the one I knew."

"..."

Hikigaya's face froze: "Are you dissatisfied with my behavior just now?"

"No~"

Ichinose quickly shook his head. "It's not dissatisfaction, but she's very surprised. If it were me, I probably wouldn't have fought back like Hikigaya-kun did in that situation just now."

It seems that Ichinose has also suffered a similar experience?

However, Ichinose's attitude is actually the norm for most students. Just now, Hikigaya had a conflict with Kiriyama, his senior and superior. Not only did he not take Kiriyama seriously, he even attacked him. This kind of situation rarely happens in reality. Most people would have the same attitude as Ichinose, "just bear with it and it will be over."

"Because here strength speaks volumes."

Hikigaya said calmly, "Although I don't want to admit it, I didn't like the rules of this school at first, but there's one thing it does better than other schools. There's no seniority, no hierarchy. If you want to gain respect and status, you have to demonstrate your ability. In this respect, this school can be considered 'fair'!"

In this school, one's own ability is the real deciding factor, while other factors seem less important. Otherwise, Nan Yun would not have been able to become the new student council president, nor would he have been able to move the student council general meeting originally scheduled for December forward to October. This is all due to one's own ability.

So just now, when Kiriyama came in and seemed to be convincing people with reason, and even 'commanded and scolded' Hikigaya in the tone of a senior or superior, he exposed his incompetence, or it could be said that even though he was already a second-year student, he still could not see the true nature of this school.

Moreover, facing Kiriyama, a stranger with whom I have only met a few times and may not even have spoken many words, how can I give him face?

So until later on, Kiriyama was still using the name of Horikita Manabu to bully others, which really made Hikigaya look down on him. No wonder he was always suppressed by Nanyun.

It is estimated that until now, Kiriyama has not yet truly realized his own abilities and is immersed in arrogant fantasies.

"It's just that I feel like Hikigaya-kun's look just now was a little scary."

Ichinose couldn't help but speak.

The coldness and indifference that Hikigaya exuded just now was very similar to when he scolded her before, but Ichinose could still feel the difference. When facing Kiriyama, Hikigaya was like a "hunter", and Vice President Kiriyama was the target of the prey.

The girl saw with her own eyes that Kiriyama, the second-year senior and vice-president, was aggressive at first, like a wild bull, and then, in Ichinose's eyes, he was "eaten away" by Hikigaya step by step until he was completely "swallowed"!

This scene gave Ichinose a chill, and he also realized that this was how other people felt when they faced Hikigaya.

Totally unaware!

"horrible?"

Hikigaya glanced at Ichinose, and after a moment's silence, he slowly said, "Perhaps, what you consider 'terrible' may just be a drop in the ocean in this society."

If you have ever touched the abyss, perhaps you will not have such thoughts.

Hikigaya sighed silently in his heart.

After that, the two of them seemed to have tacitly agreed not to talk about what had just happened. After half a month of training and instruction, Ichinose had completely mastered how to handle various affairs of the student council.

In other words, he has successfully "joined the job" and become a qualified "school animal".

Time flew by quickly, and an hour and a half had passed. When Hikigaya and Ichinose stood up and prepared to leave, Ichinose suddenly invited Hikigaya to go to the cafeteria together.

There was no room for Hikigaya to refuse, because Ichinose asked Hikigaya for advice on the grounds that "there are some matters that I don't understand how to handle."

In fact, Hikigaya also saw through Ichinose's poor excuse. He didn't ask for advice for just an hour and a half, but came to ask for advice after it was over?

This was as unbelievable as someone suddenly saying "I'll work overtime tonight" when it was almost time to get off work, but Hikigaya had no intention of exposing it. The two of them then came to the school cafeteria. It was peak time in the evening, and there were many students coming to eat.

Hikigaya glanced at the hall on the first floor and found that the remaining seats were not very good. Either they were right in the middle of the hall or he needed to share a table with others. If it was just him, it wouldn't matter, but there was Ichinose, who was as tall as a humanoid walking sun, next to him. Without much hesitation, Hikigaya pointed to a seat on the second floor of the cafeteria.

"Eh?"

Ichinose was stunned for a moment, because she had basically never been to the second floor of the cafeteria, or rather, there was always an atmosphere of "first years are not allowed to approach" there, so many first-year students tacitly assumed that the cafeteria on the second floor was where senior students ate.

However, Hikigaya had already walked up first, and Ichinose hurriedly followed after seeing this.

"Don't worry, just treat those people as air."

As they walked up the stairs, Hikigaya seemed to notice something was wrong with Ichinose and explained casually.

As expected, as soon as the two of them went up to the second floor, they immediately attracted the attention of many senior students. Of course, these eyes were focused on Ichinose who was standing behind Hikigaya. Many boys felt their eyes light up!

Although everyone is in the same school, the campus is too large. Different grades are in different teaching buildings and dormitory buildings. There are even three gymnasiums. Therefore, in most cases, students of different grades rarely interact with each other.

Perhaps the only places where they have some intersections are the cafeteria, the Keyaki shopping center, and the recent sports festival.

Even though she was suddenly the center of so much attention, Ichinose remained very composed and appeared to be completely unaffected... That's strange!

The distance between Hikigaya and Ichinose was originally about two meters, but now, unknowingly, Ichinose is almost close to Hikigaya. To outsiders, the relationship between the two seems very ambiguous!

Ichinose finally felt relieved after successfully getting a set meal at the food pick-up window on the second floor and sitting in a booth near the window.

"Huh~ This is my first time on the second floor, and just like the rumors said, it's full of senior students!"

Then Ichinose looked across at Hikigaya curiously: "Hikigaya-kun, don't you feel uncomfortable? Everyone is staring at us!"

Hikigaya looked up at Ichinose and sighed, "Let me correct that. I should say I was sizing you up. What's so good about a guy with dead eyes like me?"

Chapter 36: An independent woman.

"Hikigaya-kun's eyes aren't weird at all!"

For some reason, Ichinose seemed particularly excited about the topic of Hikigaya's eyes, but then, as if realizing her own anomaly, she quickly added, "I mean, it's because no one else has noticed the specialness of Hikigaya's eyes."

"Dead fish eyes are really special."

Hikigaya complained helplessly.

"Uh... Anyway, I don't think Hikigaya's eyes are weird at all."

Upon hearing this, Hikigaya couldn't help but sigh, Ichinose is still the same Ichinose, always so gentle to others, and even finding an excuse to comfort herself.

"The cafeteria on the second floor. I used to be there with the president, oh, no, it was Horikita-senpai, and Tachibana-senpai..."

Hikigaya began to explain the reason to Ichinose. At first, he was a little uncomfortable going up to the cafeteria on the second floor. It was not because he was afraid or concerned about the eyes of other senior students, but because he felt that he was a little too conspicuous. However, as he spent more and more time with Horikita Manabu and Tachibana Akane, Hikigaya gradually got used to it.

And because Hikigaya is a handyman, he often comes into contact with senior students, especially in club affairs. At the beginning, there were Akane Tachibana or senior Handa to help him, but later, after Hikigaya became familiar with them, he was able to handle it on his own.

If we were to discuss who among the first-year students has the most contact with senior students, Hikigaya would be very confident about this.

"Is this seat empty?"

Suddenly, an unexpected voice sounded, and before either of them could react, the other person had already sat down next to Hikigaya.

This person was none other than Kiryuin. After putting down his plate, he started eating by himself, seemingly completely unconcerned about Hikigaya and Ichinose's wishes and reactions.

Ichinose glanced at Kiryuin, then looked at Hikigaya, wondering what he was thinking.

Compared to Ichinose's discomfort, Hikigaya seemed very calm. He was already used to this senior with a weird temper. After all, this was not the first time. After eating, Kiryuin got up and left directly, and it seemed that he had no intention of communicating with the two of them.

"Has this senior always been like this?"

After seeing Ryuin leave, Ichinose finally asked cautiously.

"more or less."

Hikigaya shrugged helplessly. "Kiryuin-san has always been very independent and well-known among the second-year students. Ichinose, you'll probably be interacting with her often in the future."

"Eh? Why?"

"Because I always get into trouble!"

A voice suddenly sounded behind Ichinose, and then Kiryuin, who had already left, turned back and even sat directly next to Ichinose, which made Ichinose like a frightened kitten and hurriedly apologized to the other party.

"Well, that senior, I, I didn't mean to say bad things about you behind your back..."

"Bad words?"

Gui Longyuan sneered: "If what you said just now was bad, then what others said must be extremely bad!"

Ichinose was stunned for a moment, as if he was confused by Kiryuin's strange words. Kiryuin ignored Ichinose and handed the drink in his hand to the boy opposite.

"For me?"

Hikigaya looked confused.

"I just remembered it after dinner. Thanks for the Mizowaki thing."

Gui Longyuan said as if twisting open a drink and drinking it directly: "I'm a little thirsty after eating, I'll give you more next time."

"..."

Hikigaya silently lowered his hand, which was stretched out in the air, and said expressionlessly: "I am just doing my job."

"I heard that Kiriyama seemed to come to you about this matter just now?"

After hearing what Guiryuin said, Hikigaya was a little surprised. He was quite familiar with Guiryuin's situation. To put it nicely, he was a loner, but to put it bluntly, he was ostracized by everyone. So most of the time when she met Guiryuin, she was basically alone. If she felt sympathy and anger for Guiryuin's experience, there was no need to do so.
