Horikita, I'm Leaving This Class

Ryuen glanced at him coldly and said indifferently, "It won't be like that for long. I admit, I was careless before."

"But this time, are you ready for my counterattack?"

Ryuen's eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, and his aggressive gaze made many people feel uncomfortable.

He admitted his failure.

But that was only because he misjudged Hachiman Hikigaya's level and shamelessness.

"Ryuen, you are too arrogant."

Hachiman Hikigaya and Horikita arrived late, but Horikita remained calm and said coldly, "Not only are you going against our Class B, but you're also breaking ties with Class A. This is a team competition; haven't you considered the consequences?"

"As a result of..."

Ryuen Kakeru chuckled and shook his head, "As expected, that's all you're capable of."

"..."

Horikita's eyes narrowed. Even she would be angry to be looked down upon like that.

"That's it for now. Take care of yourselves for the exam. There are quite a few scumbags in your class, and you'll be promoted to Class B." Ryuen put his hands in his pockets and looked at Hachiman had run over with him.

Then he quickly looked away.

"It's just luck. If you're not worthy of your position, you'll fall from grace very quickly."

With that, Ryuen led his class away.

"Are you going to run away with your tail between your legs?!" Sudō shouted at Ryuen from where he stood.

"You should beat Kōenji in your class first," Ryuen's voice came from afar.

"%￥ (swearing)." This prompted Sudō to swear twice.

This is also what bothers Sudō the most; he is truly inferior to Kōenji.

And that guy from Kōenji actually wants to give up!

"Even if it's just me on my own, I can crush Class D in this exam!" Sudō was unexpectedly inspired.

Then, Sudō was persuaded to leave by Hirata, who had rushed over.

Hachiman and Horikita then walked back into the gymnasium.

But.

"You did a really good job just now," Hachiman said. "You've also learned how to act."

This refers to Horikita's recent retort to Ryuen, which led Ryuen to underestimate her.

However, Horikita must have already seen through the true meaning of this collaboration, so her comment that it was so superficial was simply an act.

"I imitated Kushida a little," Suzune Horikita said.

This explains the source of her acting skills.

Is that so?

Hachiman nodded slightly.

But I was a little surprised, because Suzune Horikita, who seemed so single-minded, actually had a very strong intuition.

Yes.

If you're going to be an actor, you can't go wrong learning from Kushida.

On the other side...

In the team.

"Achoo—" Kushida sneezed.

"What's wrong Kushida?"

"Could it be a cold?"

"I have a special method for quickly recovering from a cold..."

Kushida has quite a few admirers in the class, and they immediately started showering him with attention and concern.

In response, Kushida gave him a friendly, angelic smile.

I was actually speechless.

Because these people don't even look at themselves in the mirror? They're all ugly and deformed, yet they still want to pursue her.

Hmm.

It's better to interact with Hachiman Hikigaya than with these people.

Because this guy didn't cause her any problems; on the contrary, he allowed her to vent her frustrations.

But leaving her here, he only took Suzune Horikita with him.

That's outrageous.

The discussion lasted 40 minutes.

During that period.

Upperclassmen from Class B and Class C have also visited.

It's probably a message of encouragement, hoping everyone will work harder.

This also shows that no one wants to lose points, so they try their best to increase their class's total score.

Then the total score will be merged into the larger group, and then there will be no problem.

Only.

"Can I ask you a question?" Hachiman stopped the senior from Third-year Class C.

"What?"

"Some students in my class aren't good at sports or academics," Hachiman said. "And you must have students like that in your class too, right? How would you deal with them?"

"Huh? Aren't you guys in Class B?" But the senior seemed quite surprised.

They clearly didn't know that Class D in the first grade had been promoted to Class B.

However, this also reveals that the seniors knew that the initial order of the ABCD classes represented the difference in the overall strength of the students.

I know Class B is excellent, and Class C is trash.

"We were lucky enough to be promoted from Class D," Hachiman said.

"Are you sure?" The senior from Class C still seemed surprised, but he didn't avoid the topic. "Of course, there are some students in our class who aren't good at studying or sports, but these things can only be accomplished by ourselves. There are still almost three weeks until the Sports Festival, so let's make the most of this time."

Is that so?

It seems that even upperclassmen have it tough.

Moreover, there's no need to worry too much about the academically and athletically challenged Classmate Sakayanagi is unwell and won't be participating, so she'll definitely be last.

As for the situation at Kōenji, it's still hard to say.

However, there are also quite a few students in the senior Class CD here with low Academic Ability and athletic abilities.

Therefore, for the punishment of 9 out of the last 10 students, some of the spots will be filled by students from higher grades.

In this way.

The next day arrived.

School ends in the afternoon.

The students of First Year Class B were gathered together.

A test of physical Physical Ability is required.

Hirata and Kushida began maintaining order, while Hachiman had already applied to Chabashira-sensei for the use of some sports equipment, so he prepared to take Horikita to collect the keys.

It seems everyone is quite interested.

Certainly.

"Then goodbye, everyone."

"I look forward to your performance at the Sports Festival." Kōenji picked up his bag and made a move to leave.

"Kōenji!" Sudō was furious at this.

However, we didn't stop at Kōenji at all.

Only.

"And hiding here isn't exactly an honorable thing to do," came the voice of Kōenji from afar.

Some students noticed this while leaning against the back door.

"Those are students from Class D," the student said immediately.

Although it has been more than three months since the start of the semester, everyone's interpersonal relationships have begun to develop.

However, unlike students with exceptional social skills like Kushida and Ichinose, there are still some students who are unaware of information about students in other classes.

However, he was certain of this because the students discovered by Kōenji often followed Ryuen around.

So it was confirmed immediately.

"Is that Ryuen guy?!"

"They're treating our class as a formidable rival!"

Hachiman and Horikita exchanged a glance.

They both understood what the other meant.

Ryuen has already taken their class seriously.

After today's physical fitness test, we can try to arrange for Kushida to defect and become a spy.

In this way.

The two arrived at the office together.

The class has been promoted to Class B, but the classroom location remains the same; only the class sign has been changed. However, the teachers' desks and other items have been replaced.

Hachiman and the others searched for a while before finding the new table for the Chabashira.

Chabashira sat down and pulled open the left drawer of the table.

"I did give you the key."

"After you're done using it, you need to collect the equipment again and return the key," Chabashira said.

"Understood." Horikita nodded.

So the two left the office.

"That's great."

"Working together makes the work easier," a woman's voice said after watching Hachiman and Horikita's retreating figures.

This is Chie Hoshinomiya.

Chabashira is now sitting at her old table. And Hoshinomiya is still smiling.

But Chabashira noticed that her best friend had changed.

Chapter 169 Horikita, I will leave this class.

Chabashira and Hoshinomiya were both students at this school. They climbed up from Class D together, but ultimately could only graduate from Class B.

Incredibly, they ended up staying at the same school together.

And now.
