Once the groups were decided.
Hikigaya followed the people from Class A to wait on the playground, only then did he clearly know that the other party's name was Shinji Matoba.
Although the nominal person in charge of the group was Katsuragi, the actual commander was Shinji Matoba.
Simply put.
Katsuragi was just like a scapegoat.
Even if there were any accidents, the only one who would be expelled would be Katsuragi, provided that he didn't drag anyone to drop out with him.
"Are you really willing to accept this unfair treatment?"
Hikigaya walked up to Katsuragi, following behind Class A, somewhat curious about what this person was thinking.
"It's not unfair."
Katsuragi said with a stern face, "After all, this is Sakayanagi's instruction. Since a person in charge must be selected, no one is more suitable than me."
"It's a pity that you met Sakayanagi."
Hikigaya smiled with a smirk, somewhat schadenfreude.
Obviously, Katsuragi still wanted to contribute to the class and lead the class to Class A, even if he was not the class leader, it didn't matter.
This guy is really a good person.
It's a pity.
He met Sakayanagi, a scum woman who disregards the interests and thoughts of the class, and Katsuragi was bullied to death.
"How could it be."
Katsuragi said with a plain expression, "Sakayanagi's strength is genuine. Although I am somewhat dissatisfied with her approach, if she can lead the class to graduate from Class A in her own way, there is nothing to complain about."
"Is that so."
Hikigaya nodded.
He's really a good person, probably on guard against him, thinking he was trying to sow discord, so he was so cautious.
Actually.
Hikigaya didn't mean that, he was just taking pleasure in his misfortune.
"But."
Hikigaya glanced sideways, "By then, you can be discarded by Sakayanagi as cannon fodder, or used to exchange benefits, right?"
Just like this time.
Katsuragi was cannon fodder, and he felt that with Sakayanagi's character, she would definitely be able to take him to exchange for class points.
"..."
Looking at the classmates in front of him, Katsuragi was silent for a moment.
"Even so, it doesn't matter."
"Is that so..."
Hikigaya also looked at the field and others.
Shinji Matoba and others obviously had no respect for Katsuragi, they were obviously members of Sakayanagi's faction.
It's really like Katsuragi.
Whether it's Ryuen or Katsuragi, this is probably their perception as leaders.
However.
Hikigaya really couldn't agree.
After all, rising to Class A affects the future lives of thirty-nine people in the class, can his dropping out make up for the losses of these thirty-nine people?
Not enough, right?
Ryuen and Katsuragi are too arrogant.
Do they think they can have a value that matches the future of thirty-nine people?
At least.
Hikigaya doesn't think he has that kind of value.
Meanwhile.
The second and third grades had also formed their groups, and almost everyone was waiting on the playground.
This decisiveness.
Obviously, it's not something that the first grade can match.
On the playground.
As soon as Shinji Matoba met, he went up to talk to the seniors, and Hikigaya also saw the figures of Horikita Manabu and Nagumo Miyabi.
However.
Whether it's Horikita Manabu or Nagumo Miyabi, it has nothing to do with him, Hikigaya didn't go up and just followed Class A obediently.
Even if he wanted to act.
Now is not the time.
But then again, if he could team up with these two big shots, this exam would probably be stable.
...
In less than a moment.
Seeing the last group of the first grade coming out of the gymnasium.
Nagumo Miyabi went up to greet them.
"I think there's still a bit of time, I didn't expect you guys to be so fast, I have a proposal for you first graders, do you want to form a large group immediately???"
"Nagumo, isn't that something that's decided in the evening?"
"That's because the school didn't expect us to have our groups ready so soon, so they were worried about the students, it just so happens that all the grades have finished forming their groups, it would be more cost-effective to go straight ahead, right?"
Hmm?
Upon hearing this.
Hikigaya frowned.
The school had said before that in the past, there were no students who would drag on until the next day and still couldn't decide on a large group.
This exam has obviously been through many times.
Unless.
The school is full of a bunch of wage thieves who are doing nothing.
Otherwise.
This kind of mistake is impossible.
Although it's not a bad thing to be ahead of time, Nagumo Miyabi is so anxious that there must be some purpose.
"Is it okay, President Horikita Manabu?"
"Hmm. It's more convenient for us too!"
"That's good."
Nagumo Miyabi turned back and smiled at the first graders:
"How about it? It's not very interesting to use a similar election system, the first grade group sends out six representatives to decide the order by rock-paper-scissors, then nominates the second and third grade groups in order, and then completes the large group."
"It can be fair and decided in a short time."
The first grade didn't have much dissatisfaction, and soon sent out six elites to start playing rock-paper-scissors, and the leader of this group was Shinji Matoba.
Although it sounds fair.
But there is a huge trap in it.
Hikigaya glanced at Nagumo Miyabi.
He didn't know if this guy was intentional or unintentional.
Or is it a trap that only he, who has always been alone, can detect?
Just like in elementary school.
When people in the class organize games to pick teammates.
Hikigaya is always the one left behind, and he will hear things like 'it's Hikigaya again, he's useless'.
What would it feel like to be the last group left?
It must be extremely disgusted, why am I the one who was picked to be left behind, are your eyes blind?
And the first grade who chooses is also uncomfortable, the second and third grades left behind are definitely the worst groups, there is no room for choice.
Such a large group formed.
Naturally, it carries prejudice and estrangement, and it is much more difficult to communicate well than other large groups.
However.
To be left behind.
Undoubtedly shows.
They are indeed the worst second and third grade groups.
Their own strength is poor.
And have to bear a more unfavorable start.
There is no possibility of competing with other large groups.
In other words.
The last place was decided at this moment, but I don't know if Nagumo Miyabi intentionally set this trap.
However.
Hikigaya didn't say much, waited for everyone to finish playing rock-paper-scissors, Shinji Matoba won and got the first choice.
He directly chose the group of Horikita Manabu in the third grade, and another group formed by Class B in the second grade.
After Seeing this.
Hikigaya chose to keep quiet.
If the rules are in his favor, he will keep playing, if the rules are not in his favor, Hikigaya will resist with all his might.
With someone like Horikita Manabu around.
Isn't it obviously more advantageous for him?
With Horikita Manabu, and the group that will be left behind later, they will definitely not fall to the last place in the large group!
This is interesting, and it's also very safe!
Hikigaya didn't expect the situation to be so favorable for him, everything was moving in the direction he wanted.
...
Soon.
Hikigaya felt something was wrong.
Clearly, Nagumo Miyabi is the student council president, aside from prejudice, he is obviously a strong person, but he was left to the third place, and formed a large group with Ayanokouji and others.
There might be some problems with the composition of the group members.
After all, Hikigaya doesn't know any of Nagumo Miyabi's teammates.
Not long after that.
The six large groups were formed.
"President Horikita Manabu, what a coincidence!"
Nagumo Miyabi turned back and walked to Horikita Manabu and laughed: "We are in different large groups, do you want to decide the winner?"
"Nagumo, how many times have I told you, enough is enough!"
A male student from Class A of the third year immediately stared at him with some dissatisfaction, it seems to be the Fujimaki-senpai who gave Himeno Yuki an extra four hundred yuan.
"Why?"
Nagumo Miyabi spread his hands somewhat helplessly: "In this school, it doesn't matter whether it's the first grade or the third grade, it's not strange for anyone to declare war on anyone, right? The rules don't prohibit it, do they?"
"I'm talking about basic morality."
Fujimaki-senpai was extremely dissatisfied: "Even if it's not written, there are some things in the world that can be done, and some things that can't be done."
Hmm hmm.
Hikigaya agreed very much.
If those noisy guys could understand some manners, it would be nice, but the blond Nagumo Miyabi is obviously an immoral guy.
"I don't think so."
Nagumo Miyabi shook his head, completely unconcerned: "Rather, I would say that students who only compete with the same grade are the eyesores that hinder the growth of students in school."
Oh.
So that's how it is.
Hikigaya nodded.
Clearly, he wanted to compete with Horikita Manabu for his own selfish desires, and he could even bring up the whole school to do this.
This guy is really good,
Speaking of which, people who have this kind of idea, most of them have not experienced the beating of society, so they think they are excellent.
Take self-will and immorality as one's own strength.
Listening to dad's complain about how dangerous society is every day, Hikigaya doesn't think it's a good thing.
"Even if you become the student council president, not everything will be allowed, you should be aware that this is an overstepping act."
"If you think so, please let me realize it."
Nagumo Miyabi put his hands in his pockets and said arrogantly: "Otherwise, I will also consider Fujimaki-senpai as my opponent? You are also considered the No.2 of Class A in the third year, right?"
Really annoying.
Being able to involve unrelated people without caring at all, he is really a self-centered guy.
Hikigaya still chose to keep his distance, feeling that Nagumo Miyabi would probably be beaten by society after entering society.
"What do you plan to use to determine the victory?"
Seeing Nagumo Miyabi's target turned to Fujimaki, Horikita Manabu finally stood up.
"Just see which side can make more students drop out, how about that?"
"Don't joke around."
(Good, good)
"Although I think it's quite interesting, let's stop here this time, if you want me to propose seriously, it's just to see which group has a higher average score, right?"
"That's right, if that's the case, I can accept it."
Horikita Manabu said with a serious face: "But, this will only be a personal competition between me and you, don't involve others."
As expected of the commander, bravely standing in front of his companions.
Unfortunately.
This time it can't be as you wish.
"Don't get other people involved?"
Nagumo Miyabi stroked his chin and said, "But I think dragging the opponent's leg is also a kind of combat method."
"That's far from the essence of the exam. This exam is only testing the unity of the group, it's definitely not an exam to exploit the loopholes of the opponent's group and disrupt their exam."
Horikita Manabu's worldview is really upright, Hikigaya feels a bit embarrassed, he still thinks more like Nagumo Miyabi and Ryuen.
The playground has completely become the home court of the two bosses.
"If you can't accept the conditions I said, I don't plan to accept this matter."
"Does it mean that I can't attack Horikita Manabu's chess pieces for victory?"
"Not limited to my group, I don't accept the practice of harming other groups. When I figure out that you have interfered with other groups, this victory or defeat will be invalid."
Sigh.
Hikigaya is a bit speechless.
I just found out that the commander is quite naive. For a guy like Nagumo Miyabi who doesn't talk about morality, the agreement is probably meaningless.
In the eyes of such a guy, morality is probably just a tool.
