Hachiman's Meritocracy Classroom Chapter 34

Hachiman didn't leave. Instead, he reached into his pocket with his left hand and pulled out his white-shelled phone.

The screen was completely black.

However, his fingers pressed a button on the side of the phone.

After a moment.

The screen lit up from black.

The screen displayed "Calling."

And the person he was calling was Suzune Horikita.

The girls' dormitory.

Hachiman's dorm was on the third floor, room 304.

The first-year students' dorms were in a single building. Boys occupied floors 1-3, while girls were on floors 4-6.

Each person had a single room.

It was just that few boys ever came to visit girls, and girls visiting boys was also rare.

Therefore, appearing on an unfamiliar floor unannounced was conspicuous.

Hachiman chose to use the emergency stairs.

There was only one reason for doing so.

"It's a bit late now, you can come up." - Suzune Horikita.

Horikita was originally Hachiman's bargaining chip to raise the price of his deal with Chabashira.

However, he later discovered that Chabashira-sensei was unusual, a problematic student of Class D.

So, this bargaining chip couldn't be used.

But when he later needed to negotiate with Chabashira about advancing to Class A, Hachiman called her.

He let her know that he was participating in Class D's plan to climb up.

And he had prepared his story.

He could tell Chabashira, "I've brought Suzune Horikita," showing that he was working hard and she shouldn't rush him.

He could also tell Suzune Horikita, "I've brought Chabashira-sensei. As their homeroom teacher, she'll assist us within her capabilities. So, we still have a chance to win, Horikita, you should come too."

Thus, he pulled Horikita into it.

Although Horikita was aloof, she was, after all, the Student Council President's sister.

This identity alone could be of great use.

However, he felt it was indeed too rash.

Because he had just arrived on Horikita's dorm floor and heard girls talking.

"Hehehe... Kushida-san, thank you today."

"Oh, no, no, I'm happy I could help~~"

It was a familiar voice.

It seemed to be Kushida-san and her newly made best friend, Meiyu Wang.

And.

It was very bad.

The stairwell Hachiman was in directly faced the door of dorm 505.

But Kushida and Meiyu Wang's voices were coming from 507.

Wow.

This meant that if Kushida-san walked in this direction, she would discover him!

If she were to ask, "What are you doing on the girls' dorm floor at this hour? Are you here to see Suzune Horikita? Didn't you say you had no connection with her?"

It would be terrible.

Because they were from the same middle school, Horikita was probably deeply wary of Kushida.

So, if he got involved, Kushida would also be wary of him.

In other words, he had run into the person he least wanted to meet right now.

"See you tomorrow then~"

Kushida-san's voice came.

However, she didn't head towards the emergency stairs, and her voice gradually faded.

At the same time, there was a thud.

Hachiman noticed that she entered room 509.

That should be her dorm.

Does this count as getting the address of the class's popular little angel, Kikyo Kushida?

Ever since Hachiman joined the class group chat, he often saw students praising Kushida. There were girls and boys alike.

Kushida's popularity was soaring.

People like Kanji Ike were even overwhelmed with gratitude, as they found that the girls' attitudes towards them seemed to be rather poor, which also made them feel depressed.

It was simply angelic that Kushida still bothered to talk to them!

However, Hachiman knew very well that this little angel was actually a bomb.

Just the mere information that hinted she and Horikita came from the same junior high school made her jumpy.

So, if they found out she specifically came to find Horikita, she would probably... be under scrutiny again.

"Hoo."

Startled.

Hachiman touched his chest, then quickly went to the door of room 505.

"Ding dong!"

Three seconds after ringing the doorbell, the door opened.

After Suzune Horikita opened the door, Hachiman quickly slipped inside.

Horikita frowned.

"What's wrong?" Suzune Horikita said. "You look so flustered, like a thief."

"..." Hachiman.

Hey, hey, hey, what kind of way is that to talk? If you want to describe this state of mind, Hachiman thinks it's more like sneaking in for a peek.

Chapter 039: Arisu Sakayanagi: Why is Hikigaya-kun looking so glum?

Horikita didn't have many friends and had always been alone.

And if you asked her, her reply would be, "Huh? I've been alone for nine years. If you count kindergarten, it's even more."

So, she didn't have much experience interacting with others.

Perhaps it was because he had entered a girls' room, Hachiman found himself a little unsteady.

However, Horikita's room was still quite reassuring.

The girls' dorm rooms were the same as the boys', all four by five meters in size.

There was a single bed, a computer desk, a swivel chair, an intercom phone on the desk, a storage cabinet next to it, and an air conditioner above the desk.

The bed was directly facing the entrance, and to the right of the entrance was a bathroom and toilet.

The wall outside the bathroom was the wardrobe.

And from the entrance to the bed, there was a simple kitchen.

This was everything in the room.

It was simple, but complete.

For students, it was undoubtedly an excellent environment.

But since she was a girl, Horikita had still put up wallpaper, making it look much more girlish.

She had also made some arrangements that added a touch of everyday life.

The kitchen also showed signs of use, and the table was covered with a tablecloth.

It felt quite comfortable, like visiting someone else's home.

But he wasn't here to gawk at someone else's dorm.

"So, you signed an agreement with Chabashira-sensei?" Suzune Horikita said.

While in the dorm, she had found Hachiman's phone and heard his conversation with Chabashira-sensei when she answered.

"Something like that," Hachiman said.

And Hachiman took out the agreement.

The words about leading Class D to Class A, and Chabashira-sensei having to pay 10 to 30 million in cash were quite prominent.

"And if we reach Class A, I get the cash, Chabashira-sensei fulfills her regret, and you gain your brother's approval. This is a plan where all three parties win," Hachiman said.

"..." Suzune Horikita.

Horikita seemed to be contemplating the feasibility of this matter.

And earlier, she had confirmed that being assigned to Class D would embarrass her brother.

Furthermore, due to her own dullness, she had caused her brother to lose 1 million points.

This point was already known.

He really was still trash.

And even though he was trash, she still wanted to try and save him.

Therefore, Hachiman's idea of aiming for Class A was still worth considering.

However.

"You're saying Class D is so terrible, but do you really think there's a chance to climb higher?" Suzune Horikita said.

Hachiman must have called her when Chabashira revealed she was a sugar mama.

That's why she also heard the follow-up about Hachiman declining Chabashira's offer to graduate as Class A.

This was also something Suzune Horikita was considering.

She found it very tricky.

"This school has never had a Class D successfully rise to Class A," Hachiman said.

"Even rising from Class D to C or B is rare, so even if you just manage to get the class promoted to Class B, your brother will probably acknowledge you."

"So your goal doesn't need to be Class A," Hachiman stated.

"Then are you going to refuse Chabashira-sensei's agreement?" Horikita quickly pressed.

"No." Hachiman shook his head. "Actually, there's a reason I agreed so quickly to Chabashira-sensei's offer."

"Because our current Class D has a chance to aim for Class A."

"If it's for three consecutive years, with special exams happening roughly once a month."

"Then in three years, there will be over thirty assessments."
