The Uninhabited Island Exam Begins-It's Such a Shame You Can't Make It, Sakayanagi!
"But Nagumo is different; he places more emphasis on individual strength."
"He's the Vice President now, but if he becomes president, he might advocate for more Special Exam based on individual performance," Manabu Horikita said.
Is that so?
Hachiman thinks this concept is quite good.
Because in their Class D, there are some problem children, who are like ticking time bombs, but their offensive capabilities cannot be denied.
Only.
There are too many things holding us back.
Therefore, improving individual performance could be an opportunity for these troubled children.
Because.
Some people are simply too difficult to manage.
Otherwise, Hachiman wouldn't have only made a promise with Chabashira-sensei to lead the class to be promoted to Class A once, instead of staying there and not coming down.
"Moreover, Nagumo did not hesitate at all regarding the students who dropped out of school."
"So if he becomes the Student Council President, he might implement a system of survival of the fittest, which would increase the number of exams for dropping out," Manabu Horikita said.
Is that so?
That makes things even more brutal.
But if we add an exam for dropping out, and then drop out... people who can't be managed in the class, wouldn't that actually be a good thing for the class?
Hachiman Hikigaya thought.
However, this method of manipulation is very unethical.
This also goes against the school's original philosophy.
The reason for selecting so many different students for admission is to increase diversity.
Simulated society.
Let students experience the different kinds of people they might encounter.
So after these underperforming students are expelled, others may feel like they're living in a greenhouse.
Lack of experience.
"And this time, Sakayanagi took the initiative," Manabu Horikita continued. "It was your idea Hachiman Hikigaya, wasn't it? We originally wanted to recruit you into the Student Council to see if you could suppress Nagumo, but you chose to abstain, which ironically brought us Sakayanagi instead."
Is that so?
Yes.
Hachiman went to report the exam paper, and then Sakayanagi took out the questions he had prepared beforehand.
They look like the same group of people.
Therefore, Sakayanagi took the initiative to aim for the Student Council President position, which Manabu Horikita thought was to help him suppress Nagumo.
However, Hachiman is not here to relieve your worries. Arranging for Sakayanagi to confront the Student Council is actually a way of offering the Student Council a sacrifice so that Sakayanagi will pay attention to it.
Then they neglected their duties and slipped through the cracks in the class competition.
It's just that I can't say such shameless things out loud, and it doesn't matter if Manabu Horikita misunderstands me.
After all, this is the time to gain the other person's favor.
Then.
Manabu Horikita pushed up his glasses.
"Speaking of which, Suzune came to see me yesterday."
"She said she didn't want to chase after my shadow anymore," Manabu Horikita said.
Um.
Hachiman knew that all the talk about suppressing Nagumo was fake and illusory.
For a proper onii-chan.
The most important topic was, as expected, the younger sister.
As expected, Manabu Horikita brought up the topic of his younger sister.
"Suzune has a fatal flaw."
"She didn't notice her own flaws; instead, she was obsessed with chasing after my shadow."
In other words, Manabu Horikita also understands that his younger sister is aiming to be like her.
"Then how about we tell her about this flaw?" Hachiman had already told Suzune Horikita what her flaw was yesterday.
Yes.
Chasing after someone's back and making them your goal is a positive thing.
However, one cannot ultimately live as someone else.
What a person needs is themselves.
Be yourself.
Suzune Horikita needs to become Suzune Horikita, not Manabu Horikita.
Just Hachiman Hikigaya, he wanted to be the one who was supported, rather than the one who actively went out to work.
He has always been clear about this.
I also know that I don't like working.
Chapter 105 The Uninhabited Island Exam begins. It's really sad that you can't come, Sakayanagi!
Hachiman understands better than anyone what kind of person he wants to become.
However, he still tried to reconcile the relationship between the two siblings.
"Now that you know about your sister's situation, why don't you tell her?" Hachiman said.
"It's pointless." But Manabu Horikita refused, "People in this world are not so easy to change. There are very few people who know their shortcomings and then successfully correct them."
"And I thought that she might change when she finally hit a wall."
"But yesterday."
"She changed."
"She chose to stop chasing after me," Manabu Horikita said, adjusting his glasses. "And that's Hachiman Hikigaya, isn't it?"
Is that so?
Hachiman did not reply, but waited for Manabu Horikita's attitude.
Should we hold them accountable or reward them?
And that's what I was thinking.
Manabu Horikita continued.
"Suzune always looks down on others, so she is always alone. But I think that no matter how outstanding a person is, there is a limit. However, if two or three people, or most people, work together with others, then perhaps they can break through the limit that they cannot reach. That's what I think, and that's also what I hope she can know."
She was assigned to Class D, and I think the reason she was assigned to Class D is because she doesn't understand this.
At the same time.
I know she couldn't have gotten into Class A on her own, so if she did, it means she relied on the help of others, and that means she understood the principle.
Is that so?
So, as expected, their argument at the vending machine, Manabu Horikita's gesture of threatening to hit Suzune Horikita, and even his order for his sister to pay attention to him, were all for this purpose.
To help his younger sister understand that she needs the support of others.
In other words...
You actually hope that your sister will seek his strength.
Manabu Horikita wants him to become Suzune Horikita's strength.
Hey, hey, hey.
Are you someone who likes to treat people like tools?
Only.
Since you have expectations and hope that your sister will become better, even paving the way for her.
Then you should just tell her.
Instead, it will make your sister think you dislike her. It will make her feel like you're a nuisance.
Hachiman thinks that Manabu Horikita is actually a tsundere.
"I did point that out yesterday that no matter how hard she tries, she can't catch up with you, because you are different people."
"I should say I asked her what kind of person she wanted to become," Hachiman said.
She was very confused about it.
"Going to find you means I'm no longer chasing after your shadow, perhaps it's because I've found myself," Hachiman said.
"Then."
"Horikita and I made a promise to each other to be promoted to Class A, and then I'll prove you wrong."
"Is that so? Let's prove ourselves—" But Manabu Horikita suddenly stared at him, "Isn't this what you wanted to achieve?"
"..."
Um.
Therefore, Hachiman dislikes dealing with Akito.
Although Hachiman always praises Horikita or uses him as an excuse to distance himself from the situation,...
Manabu Horikita still managed to find out.
The person who really wanted to be promoted to Class A was him.
The idea of perfecting Suzune Horikita's weaknesses is all false.
Because.
Although Suzune Horikita told him that she hoped he would help her get promoted to Class A, it was as if she was using him as a tool.
But.
In fact.
Suzune Horikita was the one he used as a tool to Class Advancement.
He wanted to be promoted to Class A.
Hachiman wants to use Horikita, and Horikita also wants to use him. At the same time, the Student Council President hopes that he can help his sister grow up.
So overall, all three of them were using each other.
There's not much to say about that.
However, the fact that Manabu Horikita didn't lose his temper suggests that he was in a relatively good mood.
So perhaps we can get some information out of him.
Thinking this through, Hachiman Hikigaya said.
"Speaking of which, is it possible for upperclassmen to share information about exams with lowerclassmen?" Hachiman Hikigaya asked.
"You're talking about some exam content, right?" Manabu Horikita said. "New students aren't allowed to reveal information during their first and second months of school."
"But if it's been two months, we can give you a heads-up."
Oh, I see.
Hachiman felt like he understood something.
