Hōsen's Home Turf! 6k Minimum! (Continued)

"What is Ryuen trying to do!" Sudō was extremely persistent about Ryuen; in fact, he had been badly tricked by Ryuen.

Therefore, I am not a fan of Ryuen.

"It's not Class A after all—"

This was the first time Yukimura had heard this news. However, unlike ordinary students, he didn't judge people by their Academic Ability. Instead, he felt that Hachiman was well-rounded in all aspects, and sometimes even thought that his thinking was inferior to Hikigaya's.

Looking back on the past year, he felt that Hachiman played a significant role in their class's promotion to Class A.

Even.

He suspected that this month last year, Hachiman broke the camera so that the Student Council would announce the existence of class evaluation scores in advance, and then everyone would hold onto the remaining class evaluation scores in the first month.

This laid a foundation.

Only then can we catch up bravely.

If that's the case... then Hachiman must have figured out the school rules a very, very early on.

I understand the true nature of school.

This level of observation and insight is somewhat frightening.

From this perspective, as a Class representative, if he and Hachiman were not in the same class, he felt he would consider buying him.

Because the other party was able to lead Class D to promotion to Class A once.

So it's normal for them to continue flying upwards with their own class.

Therefore, it's normal for them to be bought by other classes.

Yukimura just thought that Class A would buy it.

As a result, the class in Ryuen wanted to buy it.

However, Yukimura was completely unaware that it wasn't actually Ryuen's class who wanted to buy it, but rather Class A was rejected and Class B simply didn't have the money.

After the announcement was completed, Hachiman stepped down from the podium and returned to his seat.

"Is that all there is to it?" the black-haired girl next to me suddenly asked.

This is Suzune Horikita.

Horikita's profile today scores 96 points.

"Yes." Hachiman nodded.

"However," Hachiman Hikigaya placed his hands on the table, seemingly curious, "I'll be moving to another class next month."

"And then, how will you face me?"

"Different classes mean class rivalry, so even acquaintances can become enemies."

"So."

Hachiman paused for a moment. "Are you going to treat me as an enemy?"

Once Hachiman Hikigaya leaves this class and becomes Class representative, he will be a true enemy in class rivalries.

This is true.

But.

Can she really treat the other person as an enemy and attack them?

This problem troubled Suzune Horikita for an entire morning.

"Horikita— "

"Horikita— "

"Hmm?" Suzune Horikita looked in the direction from which the sound came from.

It was a girl wearing pink-rimmed glasses and with slightly outdated pigtails; that was Airi Sakura.

"Class is over," Sakura reminded her.

Forehead.

It was only then that Suzune Horikita realized she was staring blankly at a physics book.

The physics textbook should be from the previous lesson.

"Thank you, Sakura," Horikita said.

"Hmm, um." Sakura nodded.

She felt she could understand.

She was surprised and found it hard to accept that Hachiman was transferring to another class.

They were even considering what would happen to them if things continued like this.

It seems she relies on Hachiman somewhat, and he has helped her a lot.

So Airi felt somewhat uneasy.

As a result, seeing that Horikita was even more unstable than herself, she stepped forward and offered a reminder.

Horikita glanced at the table to his left, which was already empty.

As is customary, Hachiman Hikigaya has already gone to the third floor for dinner.

During lunch break, in the cafeteria on the third floor.

Hachiman did indeed eat here.

Today's side dish is clam and loofah soup. The fresh clams paired with the green loofah taste great.

Only.

"Hachiman is actually very high-profile in class announcing his intention to jump to Class D," said President Sakayanagi. "I didn't expect the Dragon Boys to have actually raised 20 million yen."

"Looks like my class is already riddled with problems," Hachiman remarked. "It was only announced this morning, and you already know."

"Well."

"These were all reported by my subordinates themselves. Even if I didn't want to hear them, there was nothing I could do." Classmate Sakayanagi gently opened her fair hands.

It made a ╮(╯▽╰)╭ look.

In other words, it was not her idea to plant spies in other classes.

"If you were to go to the Ryuen's class," Sakayanagi Arisu said. "I'm a little tempted."

"Although some people in your class are very skilled at using cheat codes, not many of them will be obedient."

"But if you go to the Ryuen's class, I think the Dragon Boys will cooperate with you," Sakayanagi said. "So, perhaps you can climb back up from Class D to Class A."

In other words, is Sakayanagi Arisu thinking about having another class battle, or rather, a two-on-one battle between her and Hachiman?

"If that's the case, then you'll be very embarrassed." Hachiman shook his head.

"..." The Kamuro.

Kamuro was eating on the side, listening to the conversation between the two.

At the same time, I feel a lot of pressure.

Because what kind of crazy thing are you planning to do now, Sakayanagi Arisu? She doesn't want her class to just get back into Class A and then be knocked down again so soon.

She actually wanted to graduate from Class A and then have a good life.

"Well, I was just saying," Sakayanagi said. "But I genuinely hope you can climb up."

"That's what makes campus life more colorful."

"Then," Hachiman said, "About this Special Exam."

"I asked the homeroom teacher, and 20% of the second-grade exam was beyond the curriculum, including content that can only be learned in university."

Actually, it wasn't him who asked; it was Horikita who asked.

However, the answer should be the same.

"And Classmate Sakayanagi, don't you always boast about being a genius?" Hachiman said. "Then for you, getting a perfect score of 100 in all subjects is a piece of cake, right?"

"Oh?"

Sakayanagi Arisu blinked gently.

Having been subjected to "playful" situations several times before, she became wary.

In other words, Hachiman Hikigaya is trying to divert her attention so he can secretly do something.

Is there any real potential or profit in taking an exam that seems to offer little reward?

And then it was evening.

Then it got evening.

At 7:40, the three students who were called upon during the morning class meeting went to the library as representatives of Second Year Class B.

The first floor of the library.

Shiina must have received the news, so she left early. That's why the first floor is so empty.

Yukimura, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, and Hirata sat down.

"I feel a bit dazed today," Yukimura said. "First, I found out that Hachiman was going to skip a grade, and now I have to represent the class and negotiate."

"I feel like I have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders," Yukimura said.

He had assumed that even if Hachiman was not in the class, he would still appoint Horikita as the negotiator.

He was the one who was chosen.

He was somewhat flattered, but he also felt he had to do a good job.

Since Hachiman is definitely leaving the class, I also want to see if he can shoulder the heavy responsibility.

He had already lost once in the Commander Exam, and now he couldn't just do nothing.

He must surpass himself.

So, the three of them arrived at the library and found a chair to sit down.

"Hōsen will be here later, should we make some preparations?" Hirata said.

"Hōsen..."

Yukimura had a bad impression of Hōsen, after all, the other party had come to his door to cause trouble.

Although Hachiman eventually intervened and punished the Student Council, Hōsen was also forced to suspend classes for a week. In addition, the class evaluation score was affected by the Behavioral Guidelines Exam in that month, resulting in a large deduction for First-year Class D.

Only.

When I met Hōsen at the exchange meeting in Ichinose, Hōsen immediately reset the remaining 166 points to zero.

It's really giving me the creeps.

Since the other party has a score of 0, is it possible for them to continue doing something that might violate the rules?

Then, since zero points wouldn't be deducted, they became reckless.

"I'm wondering what he's thinking," Yukimura said. "Although now that the other classes have basically finished forming teams, his First-year Class D has also become passive."

"But we must guard against the other party taking violent actions."

"Regarding that," Hirata said, "I will help if Hōsen resorts to violence."

Hirata will help.

Oh.

Yukimura suddenly remembered that Hirata had confessed that he had beaten up the entire class in junior high school, which was an overcorrection.

However, it looks quite reliable.
