The Great Teacher's Skill-First Classroom

And now Horikita Manabu is indeed very confident,

"In the past, Lingyin was just chasing my steps and following my figure."

"That's not really her."

"And the real her, if she can find her true self, then she can become stronger than me."

Oh?

Is it?

That Horikita Suzune?

Hachiman felt doubtful again.

He didn't deny that Horikita had grown, but it would be difficult to surpass Horikita Manabu.

"So what's the real Horikita...um, what's Suzune like?" Hachiman asked.

He also became interested in this topic.

Now I see Horikita-san, who is aloof but down-to-earth and cooks delicious dishes.

And the real Horikita, that is to say, the current Horikita is not actually her true nature, but is she acting like Kushida-san?

If that's the case, how terrible it is.

Because it's not just Kushida who hates Horikita's inconsistency. In fact, Horikita is also one of the only two people Hachiman has met who is consistent in their words and deeds.

Then there is his younger sister Komachi.

So Horikita Manabu now says that this is not the real Horikita Suzune, which means that he really underestimated Horikita?

"Suzune is a girl who loves to laugh and act coquettishly." Horikita Manabu added.

but.

thump—

Something from Secretary Ju Qian's side rolled to the ground.

But not only her, but also Hachiman was frightened.

because.

Horikita Suzune loves to laugh.

cute.

Like to act coquettishly.

Brother, are you lying?

because.

[You stayed here for too long at night, disturbing my reading. Please go back quickly.]

[It’s not that I don’t want to lend it to you, it’s just that my clothes don’t suit Ichinose. There’s no reason why.]

[Hmm? This kind of question is easy to understand just by looking at it, so why do you think it's difficult?]

Kushida-san is troublesome, but I lost to her, so I have no choice but to keep my promise.

[Smile? What's that? I don't think it's necessary.]

His mind was filled with the strict and fair Horikita Suzune.

So things like loving to laugh and act coquettishly.

Hikigaya-san couldn't imagine it at all.

"This is the real Suzune, but she imitated me and became what she is now." Horikita continued, "But when I was little, I was actually the type of person who followed her. In other words, although it's not nice to say it, my sister grew up crooked."

And Horikita-brother continued, "So, Hikigaya, I hope you can turn her back to her original form."

indeed.

Horikita Suzune admires her brother very much and strives to be like him.

But is her current aloofness, hard work, and everything else she does because she is imitating Horikita Manabu?

And Horikita's brother's explanation was also very simple.

Let Horikita Suzune be herself.

Ask her to stop imitating Horikita Manabu. Horikita Suzune had actually done this during the deserted island exam last semester.

Therefore, Horikita Manabu hopes to regain his sister's original talent.

Find the stronger her in the past, and then survive and gain something in this school.

"Wouldn't it be better if you said these words to her yourself?" Hachiman said after thinking about it.

"I can't. My status doesn't make her change. Even if I told her to her face, she would just follow orders. What I hope is that she can choose to change." Horikita Manabu said, "And the only one who can make her do that is you, Hikigaya Hachiman. You've already changed her once, so naturally you can change her again."

This silenced Hikigaya-san.

Because Horikita was changed by him once.

So has it changed once?

Changed.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be the harmonious relationship between him and Horikita now.

After a little thought, Hikigaya decided to take the job.

Because he was also somewhat curious about how talented Horikita Suzune really was and what she could become.

As for how to bring out the real her, it is actually not difficult.

because.

Take the outstanding brother as your role model and imitate him as your own excellence.

But she is fake like this.

She tried to imitate her brilliant brother from a very young age, but she never succeeded.

In other words, it is cracked, so since it is cracked, there should be gaps.

Just open her heart again.

There is a way, and it's very simple. Just make her break down once.

And what Horikita Suzune is best at is studying.

People will be devastated if they become worthless in the field they are good at, so they defeat her in studying.

And now.

"You are a devil—"

Lingyin said.

Because this was already the sixth set of papers she lost to Hikigaya-san.

And this guy is poisonous.

Not only did he win miserably on the Chinese paper, he also invited Ichinose to come over and take a small test together.

Then Horikita Suzune also lost to Ichinose-san several times in a row.

She obviously likes studying very much and believes that there must be people who are better than her. It is normal to lose occasionally, but how could she lose ten games in one day?

My mentality is almost broken.

This was the situation when Hachiman had made a bet with her about the test scores, and thought that if he scored higher than her, she would definitely be furious.

"Since you can't hold it in anymore, just confess."

Hachiman deliberately dimmed the light in the room, allowing her to completely immerse herself in the atmosphere created.

"Eh--"

Horikita Suzune swept the completed and lost papers into the trash can with both hands and chose to confess.

This was the first time she opened her heart to others.

"Squeak-"

And Ichinose-san, who was invited here to compare paper scores with Horikita-san, accidentally moved his chair.

"Ichinose-san, thank you for your help today. You can go back now." Hachiman noticed that Ichinose was still there and said.

amount.

This statement is like hiring a tool and then sending it away when it is no longer useful.

but.

Ichinose, who was invited, was not angry, but left with a little curiosity.

just.

She felt that Hikigaya-san and Horikita-san had a particularly good relationship. Although both of them said that they were not dating, she had only been here for half a day today, and she almost thought that she was... the superfluous one.

……

After Horikita's mentality was broken, she finally started to talk about life.

Who am I? Who am I as?

Or is it just a fake, a counterfeit, the true self that has never been shown to anyone.

"Looking back, I've been playing a false role throughout my life."

Whether it is appearance, personality, or academic performance, she wants to imitate her brother, to be as good as him, and to be recognized by him.

"but failed."

"I hadn't proven myself until my brother was about to leave this school."

"So, isn't this very sad, Hikigaya-kun?"

Lingyin hugged her head.

Her imitations are totally insignificant and meaningless, and she has even messed up her own life.

"It's really sad." Hachiman frowned as he listened to her confession. This was because Horikita's confession was not what he wanted.

And if this is Horikita's confession.

Then.

"But there's one thing I think not only you, but also your brother Horikita Manabu, has made a mistake," Hachiman said. "You two siblings have the same personality."

"what?"

Lingyin looked up.

"It's you two siblings who always go too far... so self-righteous!"

Hikigaya-san was disappointed.

Because Horikita is not a qualified brother. He doesn't fully understand his sister like he does.

……

It’s April 3th.

All the students gathered in the gymnasium.

Attend the third-year students' graduation ceremony.

The third graders are graduating today and will all leave the school at the same time.

As a member of the student council, Hikigaya has been confiscating the cell phones of graduates since three days ago and arranging for them to sign confidentiality agreements.

As for exchanging points for cash, that is the chairman's job.

Members of the student union do not handle money.

And now.

Hachiman stood in the team, looking ahead.

"Let us give our final blessings to the third graders."
