The Great Teacher's Skill-First Classroom

In other words, she basically doesn't have any tacit understanding with other people.

The two-person three-legged race requires mutual accommodation and cooperation.

But Horikita couldn't cooperate with others.

Even though she had deliberately slowed down her pace, others couldn't keep up.

As for Karuizawa, who had average physical strength, she was naturally dragged along by her and almost fell.

"Really..."

Karuizawa rolled his eyes, looking a little unhappy.

The three-legged race was a must-do event, and she saw that Horikita's speed was pretty good. Horikita's aloof and lonely temperament also made most girls not want to get close to her, so Karuizawa considered it and chose to team up with her.

but.

Is it too late to regret now?

"Eh."

Hikigaya had just finished running 200 meters and had some time to rest. He watched everything silently from a distance, but he did not step forward to help.

He admitted that before the uninhabited island exam, Horikita had changed, which made people look at her with new eyes.

But Horikita Suzune has not fully grown up, not yet grown to the point where she can understand people's hearts.

Didn't you see that Karuizawa, who was in a team with her, was almost in despair?

"Let me do it."

Looking at the exhausted Karuizawa-san, Hikigaya-san decided to step forward.

After all, she had promised Karuizawa to protect the other party. If she continued to cooperate with such a Horikita, Karuizawa would become autistic.

The three-legged race is a sport that tests one's tacit understanding.

There is no restriction on whether boys or girls can participate, and in fact, boys do not necessarily have an advantage over girls in this kind of thing.

On the contrary, girls might have better tacit understanding and be faster.

However, Horikita didn't know how to cooperate.

"it is good."

Horikita nodded coldly without refusing.

I didn't think I did anything wrong, but rather felt it was natural.

"Are you ready?"

After tying his legs together, Hachiman looked at the girl beside him and asked.

"Ah."

Horikita's reaction remained cold, but the next second, she couldn't maintain this coldness anymore.

Because Hachiman suddenly moved forward quickly, Horikita's center of gravity also began to lean forward.

But because of a moment of carelessness, he almost fell to the ground.

"Well!"

Horikita gritted her teeth stubbornly, trying to keep up with Hachiman's speed.

But it doesn’t.

No matter how hard she tried, she seemed to be dragged forward by Hachiman, and could only barely keep herself from being knocked down.

"What do you think? What you are experiencing now is exactly what Karuizawa just experienced."

After finally reaching the end and taking a breath, Horikita suddenly asked.

"I see."

Horikita nodded gently, not getting discouraged, "I'm still too weak to compare with you."

"..."

Hachiman opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment.

"I mean, how do you feel about my speed just now?"

Hachiman inquired, only able to elaborate a little.

"Well."

Horikita thought for a moment and said, "It's a little fast, I can't keep up, but I'm trying my best to keep up with your speed."

"..."

Hachiman fell completely silent.

So that's the difference in thinking.

"No, I mean, I hope you can cooperate with the others a little."

Hachiman had no choice but to speak, "You can't expect others to keep up with you, but you have to accommodate others a little bit."

It is impossible for everyone to be an excellent person.

Nor can we expect everyone to work hard to keep up with our pace.

Horikita felt weak.

So she would try her best to keep up with Hachiman's pace.

Instead, she asked Hachiman to slow down a bit and match her pace.

Just like she does with everyone else, she expects them to make an effort to keep up with her.

Rather than trying to accommodate others.

"I don't understand."

Horikita said softly with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"So be it."

Hachiman shook his head. "Think carefully about what I said. Once you understand, you can continue training. If you still can't figure it out, go find your brother."

As he said this, he glanced at the girl with a golden ponytail who was sitting on the lawn with her knees hugged.

"You've worked hard today, take a rest." Hachiman said.

Oh.

Karuizawa nodded.

In other words, Hikigaya thinks Horikita is confused today, right?

By the way, is Horikita-san's brother also in this school?

While thinking, Karuizawa heard Hikigaya's voice again.

"Since we're not training anymore, do you want to go eat together?"

Eh?

This made Karuizawa blink.

Because it's an invitation to a date?

Everyone is training hard, but what do you want to do?

Chapter 173 Horikita's Brother's Teachings

Hikigaya and Karuizawa separated from the team training on the playground.

The two did not go to the cafeteria, but walked towards the shopping street.

"So, what do you want to do by asking me out?" Karuizawa asked.

The two of them were now on a busy street, having just come out of a steak house.

And in his left hand he was holding a free drink from the store.

The two of them had dinner together, and Hikigaya Hachiman paid the bill.

This made her feel a little flattered.

"I told you before that I would protect you, but I didn't do that today," Hikigaya said. "After training, I saw you and Horikita doing a three-legged race, and then you stood there for about ten minutes."

“…”Karuizawa.

Good guy.

"So you actually saw it from the beginning?" Karuizawa complained. "And then left me alone to work myself to death.

"Horikita is so fast, and I only have average stamina, how can I keep up?"

"Horikita has changed a bit compared to before," Hachiman said. "But she's still a bit stiff when it comes to interacting with others."

“…”Karuizawa.

She probably knew what change in Horikita Suzune that Hikigaya was talking about, which was that before the uninhabited island exam, Horikita Suzune suddenly started making lunch boxes for Hikigaya Hachiman.

Then it caused misunderstanding among everyone.

I wonder if these two are dating.

But now it seems that was just Horikita Suzune's unique way of behaving towards Hikigaya.

"If you can gain Horikita's approval, then she might treat you differently." Hachiman said.

“…”Karuizawa.

Forget it.

Although they didn't have much contact time, Karuizawa didn't think it would be easy to get Horikita Suzune's approval.

and.

She has the image of a hot girl in the class, and it would be troublesome if she got too close to Horikita Suzune.

"Come to think of it." Karuizawa felt that Hikigaya's invitation was probably just a way of expressing his guilt towards her, so she started the conversation herself. "At the opening ceremony of the sports meet in the gymnasium, was Arisu Sakayanagi from Class A going to be the next student council president?"

Although she is only a disciplinary committee member in name only, she is in a slacking off state.

I don’t have many opportunities to go to the student union.

But after all, I am a member of the student union, so I know the importance of the position of student union president.

"That's possible," Hachiman said. "But that's only after our class is promoted to Class A. And, if we're lucky enough, we'll be Class A after this sports meet."

“…”Karuizawa.

Although it was a date in name only, Karuizawa didn't think it was necessary to discuss the promotion at this time.

"I mean, do you like her?" Karuizawa said. "I saw her eating with you often before, and now she's even got a candidate position on the student council. I think you might have contributed to it."

Then you are also very insightful.

Do you want to be a human observer too?

Hachiman's opinion of Karuizawa rose slightly.

but.

He shook his head slightly.

"I can't possibly like Sakayanagi Arisu," he said. "People like her will definitely use bad intentions to make people work. I can't accept that."

Ok.

Karuizawa thought it was a waste of time to ask.

Because there is no point in asking him whether he likes it or not.

After returning to school, Hikigaya was so distracted by the huge amount of points he had that he stared at the girls in his class.

He thought that if there was an ambitious girl willing to work and support him in the future, he would be willing to pay her the 2000 million points required to be promoted to Class A.

But to sum it up... this guy probably hopes that the woman will support him in his future life.
