Hikigaya Challenges Kakegurui

The crowd below was in an uproar. The boys looked at Jabami Yumeko with a mixture of filth and greed. When they looked at Hikigaya Hachiman, there was only endless ridicule.

But they didn't notice that Jabami Yumeko's eyes were terrifyingly calm, and she was not shaken at all by the seemingly overwhelming disadvantage.

The current situation is that five of the seven science subjects have been overturned, and the team is 30 points behind. No matter how you look at it, Hikigaya is bound to lose.

"Hikigaya-san, do you want to continue?"

"Or should I keep the last fig leaf for you?"

Ai Pu was very proud and admired the expression of the person in front of him with the attitude of a winner.

"Hurry up and finish this, Hikigaya, don't waste everyone's time!"

"We have a party after school. A friendless transfer student like you wouldn't understand. Friendless Hikigaya!"

"Hand over the 10 million yen quickly! If you don't have enough money, you can ask Jabami Yumeko to borrow from us!"

The air was once again filled with an indescribable mixture of filth and joy.

"That's enough, you're making too much noise!"

Jabami Yumeko had a gloomy face, and her face showed a rare dignity like that of a queen snake. This sense of dignity was like the nobility that had been flowing in her blood since childhood, and it was a nobility that could not be erased by acquired experience. Her aura, far beyond the reach of these ordinary children of the rich and powerful who lived a life of luxury, burst out instantly.

The whole classroom fell into deathly silence.

They looked at Jabami Yumeko with some fear who was standing in front of the crowd. Just then a breeze blew and lifted her waist-length hair. At this moment, Yumeko's eyes were red and her hair was raised, like a witch walking out of the gambling hell.

The evil spirit is overwhelming.

What about making a fuss?!

Some of the people who were shouting the loudest murmured quietly, "It's obviously just a mixed cat."

But facing Mengzi now, he did not dare to make a loud noise, for fear of angering this crazy gambler and causing unnecessary trouble for himself. After all, her current appearance was too scary. It really was like a giant snake from hell that was about to swallow people.

Fear is growing in the hearts of the first-year Chinese students.

"The game continues."

Shui Jia was sweating profusely, and stiffly announced that the competition would continue. He looked through the second to last subject in front of everyone.

The transformation has begun!

Shui Jia said with some surprise: "The sixth subject, physics, 98 points vs. 98 points, both sides are tied!"

Ai Pu's heart skipped a beat, and she felt that something was wrong. But she soon laughed at herself for being too suspicious. What was wrong with this? It was obvious that she had already won the game, okay?

If Hikigaya wants to surpass Nagatsuki, he must surpass her by more than 30 points in the last subject, Chinese.

Is this possible?

'Impossible, absolutely impossible! '

"There's only 30 minutes left, this is really hopeless, Hikigaya-san~"

"But I think this is a great idea. Putting all of our hopes on the last subject and expecting a comeback must be a great feeling."

"After all, Hikigaya-san is a special student, so he must have a subject that he is most proud of. However, it is good to be confident, but it will be painful when your confidence is too high and is hit by reality~"

"Hikigaya-san, you are—"

"The frog at the bottom of the well! Still dreaming of competing for first place?!"

Ai Pu Xin licked the corner of her lips, the flame of desire grew in her heart, and she couldn't wait to taste the fruits of victory.

I don’t want to wait a moment, now, immediately, right away!

Let all the glory be attributed to her love for Pu Xin!

"Hurry up and open the last answer sheet!" she urged.

"Good, good."

Shui Jia placed her hands on both parties' answer sheets, and habitually lifted a corner of the answer sheet and glanced at it out of the corner of her eye.

Then, she showed an expression of disbelief, her pupils suddenly shrank, and she looked at Ai Pu Xin with horror.

At this time, Hikigaya spoke.

He was still as calm as ever, and even had the leisure to look up at his standing hair:

"Yeah, I don't think I will always be number one. I still have a lot of shortcomings in terms of study, and now it seems that there is no need to compete for the first place. After all, classmate Xia Yuemai has a very strong learning ability."

"But——"

"Compared to you, and..." Hikigaya turned to look at the crowd below the stage: "Compared to you, you just need to be a little smarter."

Due to Jabami Yumeko's momentum, the crowd below could only discuss in low voices.

"what?!"

"Is he talking about being smarter than us?"

"He's obviously going to lose, why is he so arrogant?!"

Aiura Xin also sneered: "Are you still stubborn now? Hikigaya-san, then let reality tell you the answer."

"Shui Jia, quickly turn over the answer sheet."

"Aiura...I think you should..."

"What are you talking about?"

Ai Puxin couldn't help it, so she stepped forward and snatched the answer sheets of the two people, flipped them open and slammed them on the table in front of everyone.

She first looked at the answer sheet she was holding.

"Oh, it's a perfect score. It seems that Hikigaya-san has made great achievements in Chinese literature. What? Do you plan to develop into a writer in the future?"

Aiura shook her head with a smile, looked at the answer sheet held by Hikigaya Hachiman, and muttered: "But it's a pity that your pride will be shattered from now on."

Her eyes finally fell on the answer sheet in front of Hikigaya.

"Eh...."

She rubbed her eyes and reconfirmed the score that Hikigaya would sell for next month.

"6...69 points?!"

Her eyes, which were originally filled with youth, now turned gray, the whites of her eyes were fading, and her eyes were empty and dark. She couldn't believe the facts before her eyes.

[The total score of the above seven subjects is——]

【668 points versus 667 points! 】

[According to the bet, the winner is——]

【Love Pu Xin! 】

At this moment, the air around her seemed to be sucked away by the magical creator, and empty blind sounds echoed in her ears.

[This is the final of the exam battle and the gambling game, which ended with Aiura's victory. ]

[She will receive a 300,000 yen gambling reward, as well as a 200,000 yen subsidy from the student council, and will become the class monitor of the first-year Chinese group! ]

"But..." Shui Jia paused, looking hesitant, not knowing whether she should strike Ai Pu Xin again at this critical juncture.

Hikigaya Hachiman took advantage of her hesitation and spoke for her.

He walked in front of Ai Pu Xin, and his pair of dead fish eyes had completed their transformation.

Full of indifference, domineering and aggressiveness.

"But Aiura-san and I are in a one-on-one duel, so he has to pay me an additional 10 million yen."

Hikigaya's voice became deeper, and he whispered in her ear, "And you will become my personal livestock."

49 Hikigaya's Victory Declaration

"Wait a minute, I won?!"

This suffocating fear forced Aiura Xin to regain consciousness and face the cruel reality.

She clasped her hands tightly on the edge of the table, no longer in high spirits as she had at the beginning of the game, and shouted wildly:

"How is this possible? Why is this happening?"

Hikigaya's dead fish eyes fell into Aiura's eyes, as if he had turned into a shark that was ready to bite its prey. He tore off her clothes and put her delicate body into his mouth, biting it.

The sharp eyes turned into sawtooth shark teeth glowing white, wandering around her body. The cold and death-threatening feeling made Ai Pu Xin unconsciously hug her chest with her hands and tremble all over.

But those alluring fox eyes were now filled with confusion, fear and anger.

"Are you asking why..."

Hikigaya Hachiman lowered his head slightly, his hair covering the side of his face, making it difficult to see his expression at the moment.

"Why is it that you managed to win over everyone to your side, but you still lost to me?"

"Woo——"

"Is there any need to ask... Because..."

"You and all of you are..."

Hikigaya Hachiman put his fingers on his temples, and a mocking smile appeared on his expressionless face:

"What a complete idiot!"

"You..." Ai Puxin clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Indeed, it was my bad luck that I picked your test paper. I can't change the test paper in front of you, but...why! Mame-san is my companion!"

"You are already a top student. Even if you fail a subject, you can still change the test paper in advance!"

"How is it possible that the score for Chinese is 69?"

The more Ai Puxin spoke, the more excited she became. She became more and more certain that someone had betrayed her. She wanted to catch the traitor to establish her own prestige.

She looked around, and finally fixed her eyes on Shui Jia, who was standing closest to her: "Hey, Shui Jia, it was you who did this! It was you who betrayed me! It must be you who sold me out. Tell me, what benefit did Hikigaya give you!"

"Oh, no, it's not me."

Shui Jia was so frightened that she stepped back repeatedly, leaning against the desk.

With this look on his face, it was impossible for him to be a traitor. Ai Pu Xin turned around and looked at the people below the stage with a ferocious look.

"Who is it then? Tell me, who betrayed me?!"

No one paid any attention to her.

Finally, the kindhearted Hikigaya Hachiman stepped forward to answer her doubts: "Who betrayed you? Aiura-san, you really are asking questions that are out of the question. Which companion betrayed you?"

"The fact is just the opposite. In order to protect you, Shui Jia wanted to remind you at the last moment that Xia Yuemai's Chinese score was 69, but you interrupted her."

"how come..."

Ai Pu Xin trembled in disbelief.

"Don't you understand?" Hikigaya Hachiman sneered. Apart from the fact that the purpose of cheating was interesting, Aiura Kokoro's sensitivity to gambling was so weak that it was boring...

"Just to remind you, this is the first round."

first round?

Aiura felt a flash of inspiration, and recalled the scene of the first gambling game. In the first round of the exam battle gambling game, it was Hikigaya who defeated Shimotsuki's Chinese literature score of 77 with Jabami Yumeko's World History score of 69.

Her eyes were dull and her mouth slowly opened.

It's connected, everything is connected.

At that time, she was the one who personally ordered Hikigaya to win, so that someone would choose a Chinese answer sheet that would guarantee failure and replace the answer sheet sold next month.

She murmured, "Once the answer sheet is made public once, it cannot be made public a second time. Otherwise, obvious problems will be revealed. Why would the scores of the same person and the same subject change before and after?"

"If this kind of problem is discovered by the student union, it will be considered a violation of the rules..."

"Therefore, it is impossible to exchange the Chinese answer sheets."

Aiura looked at Hikigaya Hachiman in fear, feeling extremely regretful. She could have seen through this! Why didn't anyone remind her?

"This is so unreasonable! You obviously already know your Chinese score, so just compare Chinese alone! Why do you have to compare scores in all subjects! This will only increase your risk of winning! What if the physics score sold next month is one point higher..." Ai Pu Xin spoke sharply, trying to seize every loophole that could be attacked to reverse his decline.

Hikigaya Hachiman sighed helplessly and stroked his ahoge. "Use your brain a little. If I didn't say this, would you bet with me? Any normal person knows that there must be something wrong with only competing in one specific subject. When you make associations, I will be the loser."

"I raised the stakes layer by layer, and even agreed to your second increase, just to make you fall into the trap because of your greed."
