Hachiman's Meritocracy Classroom Chapter 18

And the price was the 100,000 points just paid?

Hachiman immediately wanted to return these 100,000 points.

He retracted his statement that President Horikita was a great philanthropist.

Because.

Manabu Horikita was too stingy.

Chapter 19: Confessed to by a Class A Student? No, I think it's... a Honey Trap! Go!

The Horikita brother is truly stingy.

After the so-called class, he turned and left, not allowing anyone to refuse.

It's just that Manabu Horikita left, but Suzune Horikita remained.

Everyone in class saw the aloof Suzune Horikita, but the Suzune Horikita they saw now, after her brother left, was squatting on the edge of a small flower bed by the vending machine.

She was extremely dejected.

But as she sat there, her knees were tightly closed, only showing black stockings, and nothing else.

Of course, Hachiman wasn't trying to look at anything.

He just felt that even though she was greatly disheartened, she was still very ladylike.

"Beep!"

"Thump!"

Since there was a vending machine here, Hachiman spent 200 points and bought a bottle of tomato juice.

Then he handed it to Suzune Horikita.

"..." Suzune Horikita. "How much was it?"

Wow.

This person.

She really has no friends.

Hachiman somewhat understood his brother Horikita's feelings. His sister was assigned to Class D, which was dangerous, and she would also be dangerous outside. He wanted her to attend school in a closed environment, so he couldn't pay attention to his sister anymore. Instead of that, it would be better to place her somewhere he could see her.

"Your brother's attitude is very strong," Hachiman said. "But I think there are some things you should listen to him about."

"Are you telling me to approach you and find your weakness?" Suzune Horikita asked.

"..."

Of course not.

While it was good to have pretty girls paying attention to him, both she and Kushida were dangerous individuals.

Hachiman didn't want to get into trouble.

"According to the Student Council President, your biggest problem is still related to socializing," Hachiman said. "You have the ability, but you can't cooperate with others. One person's strength is limited, but by cooperating with others, you can gain more power."

"Then, is it wrong to be alone?" Horikita said.

Is it wrong to be alone?

"..." This topic made Hachiman fall silent for a moment.

Because.

Is it really not good to be alone?

True strong individuals do not gather in groups. The lonely are always in opposition to the entire world.

Only the weak like to stick together, and the problem is that the vast majority of people are weak.

So this theory probably wouldn't work for Suzune Horikita.

Because.

She isn't a strong individual.

You get paid for how much money you take, and you do how much work.

This was Hachiman's principle.

Thus, with only 100,000 points from his brother Horikita, Hachiman could only arrange for Suzune Horikita to return to the dormitory while he went to the railing not far away.

Yesterday, Chabashira-sensei asked him, and he waited at the railing alone for a while.

And today, he was the one who invited Sae Chabashira.

About 15 minutes.

Sae Chabashira arrived.

This teacher was still a lady in a suit with a ponytail, paired with a short skirt and stockings... Oh no, she wasn't wearing stockings today. She was so fair.

Chabashira was still wearing high heels, but her steps were quite brisk.

Leaning against the railing and facing Chabashira's direction, Hachiman took in her entire posture.

Hmm.

Chabashira-sensei, you seem to be in quite a good mood.

This was mainly because he had reported to her that he had gathered information on Suzune Horikita and discovered she was the sister of Student Council President Manabu Horikita.

And now, with Chabashira-sensei in a good mood… Hachiman further confirmed he was dancing with wolves.

It was likely a pretense for him to collect student data and assist her with her homeroom duties; the real intention was to get him to interact with the valuable problem children of Class D.

Just searching for usable soldiers in a pile of trash, Chabashira-sensei, you're truly brave.

"Here's a point card worth 200,000 points," Chabashira said. "I'll record the information on Suzune Horikita in your file this time."

Oh.

Hachiman decided to take her word for it, for now.

Still, he honestly accepted the point card Chabashira handed him.

After all, there was no reason to refuse money.

If Chabashira-sensei truly had ambitions, then that was the concern of these valuable problem children in Class D.

If these individuals could truly lead the class to contend with other classes, Then, as a member of Class D, hitching a ride on their success wouldn't be so bad, would it?

After all, one could never have too much spending money.

"Then I'll be heading back," Hachiman said.

After what had happened over the past half hour, his stomach no longer felt bloated, and it was the perfect time to go back and get some sleep.

Chabashira, however, did not leave immediately.

She watched Hachiman's retreating back.

Suzune Horikita was the sister of Student Council President Manabu Horikita.

This school granted students considerable freedom, so the Student Council President possessed higher authority than even external staff; even faculty members addressed the Student Council President as "Student Council President."

And Manabu Horikita was the most outstanding Student Council President since the school's founding.

He was even exceptional within his own class, the type who carried his 39 underperforming classmates alone.

A formidable individual.

Then, while looking through the student files, Chabashira noticed Suzune Horikita, who bore a four-tenths resemblance to the Student Council President and shared the same surname, Horikita.

So, was there a possibility of another connection?

She had merely speculated and suspected, and then had Hachiman Hikigaya confirm it.

Hachiman Hikigaya, truly a treasure.

And so, Hachiman Hikigaya, truly a treasure, attended class normally the next day.

Chapter 020: Confessed to by a Class A Student? No, I Think It's... A Setup! Part 2

The teachers were as lenient as ever.

Classroom discipline was quite lax.

Soon, the third period of the morning concluded.

Only the final physics lesson remained for the morning.

The students' enthusiasm was the same; it was only the third day of school, but their desire to shop had not diminished.

So, even before lunch break, students were already contemplating what expensive set meals to eat at the cafeteria and where to go shopping in the evening.

Hmm.

Hachiman stretched.

He noticed that the black-haired beauty beside him, Suzune Horikita, was leaning slightly to the side, her gaze fixed intently on him.

Her eyes were large, even reflecting his image.

However.

C'mon, c'mon.

Horikita-san, you won't find his weakness by staring like that.

Your brother wanted you to learn about flexible interpersonal relationships, not to actually find his weakness, you know?

Suzune Horikita had maintained this posture since arriving in the classroom today, whenever class wasn't in session.

Fortunately, Horikita-san was aloof, and after being rebuffed, the classmates, including Kikyo Kushida, found her difficult to approach.

So, when they noticed Horikita-san staring at Hachiman, they didn't think Hachiman was being paid attention to by a super beautiful girl; instead, they thought he had provoked Horikita-san.

So he was being retaliated against.

As a result, Hachiman received many sympathetic glances today.

And while Hachiman was thinking about how to get Horikita to stop paying attention to him, a male voice came from outside the door.

It was Kanji Ike, one of the male participants from the class who had been ranking the beautiful girls.

"A girl is looking for you!"

The other party showed a somewhat envious expression.

A girl?

He knew very few girls. And the girls he knew now were only...

Hachiman then looked at Kushida the little angel with short golden hair, who was walking out the front door of the classroom.

Kikyo Kushida also happened to turn her head. Their eyes met for a moment.

Kushida smiled, then left with her companions.

So I wasn't paying attention to you just now, Kushida, you're harmless, please don't be so invested. And the Horikita classmate you care about, who is from the same junior high school, is staring at him today, which is not his intention.

Thus, Hachiman arrived at the back door of the classroom.

He saw a tall girl with purple hair.

Her legs were long and slender, and she wore short socks.

As for her distinguishing features, she probably had two hair clips in her hair.

It seemed she had seen Hachiman arrive.
