Sakayanagi Is Attacked; Sakayanagi: I Guess Others See Me as Weak! (Continued)

However, if the school sets very simple questions that even poor students can answer, then this score control becomes dangerous.

Because underachieving students might take the liberty of getting high scores on their own.

So it's only half the truth.

It's a matter of luck to see how difficult the school's exam papers are.

"Ah, I really don't understand at all!"

Meanwhile, the struggling students have already started studying.

But I was completely confused.

"No whispering allowed." But Horikita was quite strict.

"Why don't you know this? This is something you should have learned when you entered school last semester." And her complaints were as terrible as ever.

I simply can't understand how the brains of underachieving students work.

Wow, Hachiman thinks this kind of study session must be really agonizing.

"Hachiman!"

It seems that he has been criticized so much that some people have started asking him for help.

Is it even meaningful to contact him at a time like this?

He'll get yelled at if he tries to talk to him.

So Hachiman chose to ignore it.

However, Suzune Horikita seemed to be on patrol and immediately spotted Hachiman looking around.

She looked at him like a teacher. "Hachiman, are you studying?"

"Yeah, I do." Hachiman answered, but then he noticed she was walking straight toward him.

Let me take a look.

It came right up to me, and it smelled really good.

Horikita, however, gave a rare smile at this moment.

Then he grabbed Hachiman's face. "Hey Hachiman, why didn't you do anything?"

"Ouch... that hurts." The exercises on Hachiman's desk were indeed all blank.

"Thank you so much, Hachiman!"

Upon seeing this, the students who had just been scolded immediately showed him their respect, probably because they felt that Hachiman had sacrificed himself for them, leaving them to be scolded and punished alone.

Also, due to the severity of the situation, the one-hour study session ended, and Hachiman was kept behind by Horikita.

Meanwhile, Hachiman was forced to open his exercise book.

There are questions set by Horikita himself.

"You really haven't studied at all, and you still have the nerve to come to the study session?" Horikita said sternly.

"Speaking of which, the study session is over, Horikita, is it okay if you don't go back?" Hachiman asked.

"It's okay. I'll be studying anyway when I get back. Besides, I haven't been able to cook dinner lately because of the study sessions," Suzune said.

Oh, this.

Hachiman didn't mind.

Then Horikita continued, "And I've already finished reading this semester's textbooks; I'm already reading the second-year ones."

Then you are very outstanding.

"And stop talking nonsense and just do your own thing," Suzune said.

She was pressing down on Hachiman while he did his homework.

Do some practice problems.

Horikita prepared in Mandarin.

While Hachiman might need to fill in the gaps in his other subjects, this one is the only one he doesn't need to.

Because.

He looked at the question, which was clearly a question about responsibility, but the answer already appeared in his mind.

Just like 1+1=2, it requires absolutely no thought.

Hachiman felt like he was just copying the answers.

That's how he felt about the Chinese language subject.

If I had to describe it, it would be like he's a top student in this area.

Perhaps only two or three people in the same grade can beat him.

And now.

There were tons of answers; when the questions were released, his answer bank even contained several methods. It was downright insane.

About twenty minutes later, Suzune Horikita put down her second-grade textbook. "You did all the work I asked you to do correctly, didn't you?"

"As expected, your work is truly impressive," Suzune Horikita said. "If I were to compare myself to you, I probably couldn't write it in as much detail as you have."

Then she seemed somewhat dissatisfied.

Hachiman knows.

This is the pride of top students.

She was supposed to catch up on all the other subjects during the holiday, but she couldn't get involved in this one at all, and even felt that the other person was superior to her.

"You're too unbalanced in your studies." Suzune Horikita glanced at Hachiman's answers several times, then compared them with her own standard answers, and finally gave up her pride as a top student.

They acknowledged that the other person was also a top student in a single subject.

"But."

Suzune Horikita added, "Since you're so good at this subject, then you can play along with me."

"This batch of students, like the previous batch, dislikes studying and even somewhat resists it. So if you can improve your grades, wouldn't that be a good performance?"

This proves that learning is effective. Perhaps this will motivate them to be more self-disciplined in the future.

No, no, no, they're not against learning; they're just afraid of you.

Despite thinking this in his heart, Hachiman agreed to her request anyway.

Because he realized that Horikita was doing a pretty good job.

They've started to become more tactful.

"I can get a high score in the Japanese language subject," Hachiman said. "And most of the mediocre students will probably be motivated because they probably think my Academic Ability in this subject is also average, so it might be effective. There is just one situation that you might not be able to accept."

"What?"

"My grades might be even higher than yours, while Horikita, you've almost never gotten a perfect score, right?"

"..."

"..." Horikita.

"Very good." Suzune's academic spirit, which had just been extinguished, immediately felt challenged. This was a different feeling from the challenge from Kushida last time. "You're so smug just because you got one of the exercises right? Fine, then let's compare scores during the exam."

"No."

"Weren't we here to compare scores? Aren't you exceptionally good at one subject?"

"No."

Hachiman regretted saying those words, because they would provoke someone whose mind was only focused on studying.

Horikita will then focus on studying Japanese language.

In this way.

Although forced to, Hachiman had no choice but to start studying.

The entire first grade was filled with exams.

Only.

Soon, most people's plans to study diligently were disrupted.

Because of an unexpected message that spread among first graders.

That is it.

On December 10th.

First-year students change into indoor shoes at the shoe locker when they come to the teaching building from the dormitory.

But.

When they took out the indoor shoes, they found an identical letter.

[Honami Ichinose in Class A, First Year, possesses an undeservedly large number of points.]

Below this line of printed text is another person's name.

Sakayanagi Arisu.

It seems that she put such notes in everyone's shoe cabinets and then reported Honami Ichinose.

All the first-year students were a little confused.

When someone finds a letter in their shoe cabinet, they might initially think it's a love letter, but they quickly realize it's not.

It's something much more serious.

Because it concerns everyone's Archangel Ichi no Raiho.

Then there's Classmate Sakayanagi, the current head of Class C and the designated next Student Council President, who is participating in the All-School Sports Festival as Student Council President candidate.

The students were so surprised to discover this that they didn't immediately change their shoes or leave.

Because.

Both parties at the center of the incident have come here.

Does everyone look like something happened?

Today's Archangel also made people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.

But very quickly.

Ichinose wasn't stupid; she immediately noticed that her classmates seemed to be paying more attention to her than usual.

And they all carried considerable doubts.

Hachiman was also present.

He took a picture when he received the whistleblower letter.

Then, looking around the shoe cabinet, it was a pity that although the school had installed cameras in various places.

But it wasn't installed here.

They probably thought that since this was a transparent area, no unusual behavior would occur.

"Ichinose— " A girl who looked somewhat familiar to Hachiman— a girl from Class Ichinose whom she had met once before—ran towards her from the side. "Look at this..."

Is it strange to feel familiar with someone you've only met once?

Not surprising.

This girl is Chihiro Shiranam from Class Ichinose. She confessed her feelings to Ichinose, but Ichinose asked Hachiman to help her reject her.

Subsequently, Hachiman Hikigaya did not have any further contact with the other party.

I know them, but we have no connection.

"Chihiro -kun..." Ichinose accepted the envelope handed to him by Chihiro Shiranam.

[Honami Ichinose from Class A, First Year obtained a huge number of points through unfair means. —Reported by Sakayanagi Arisu]
