Class 1-B, after hearing Hoshinomiya-sensei explain the rules, the people in Class B gathered around Ichinose. Hikigaya slowly stood up and walked towards the window. Seeing this, several boys on the periphery involuntarily moved out of the way.
"What do you want?" Hikigaya was a little confused.
"Um" Some boys were confused and said,
"Hikigaya, don't you want to go in?"
"Well...yes..."
Hikigaya responded awkwardly. He walked through several people and came to Ichinose and others, and someone moved a stool to him. Although he would rather stay on the outside, Class B seems to have regarded him as Ichinose's deputy.
Hikigaya Hachiman is now the fourth in command of Class B!
Hikigaya sat in the position, with Shibata, the third in command, Ichinose, the first in command, and Kanzaki, the second in command opposite, on the left and right.
"As expected, Ichinose should be the commander, right?"
"Yes, there should be no other candidates besides Ichinose."
"I agree too!" People around him spoke one after another, and Hikigaya couldn't help but nod along.
After all, failure requires dropping out of school. Ichinose, who has protection points, is indeed the best choice to serve as the command tower, and Ichinose's leadership is also trustworthy.
"So..."
Ichinose turned to look at everyone and said,
"The next step is to decide against the class." At this moment, a cell phone rang. Ichinose took out her cell phone and browsed for a moment, then frowned.
"Honami-chan? What happened?" Amikura Mako asked worriedly as she stood aside.
"Nothing," Ichinose put away his phone, shook his head, and smiled. "How about we compete against Class C this time? As for the battle event, we can make a decision later. You need to go to the multimedia classroom to draw lots after the command tower. But there's nothing wrong with discussing it in advance."
"Yes," Kanzaki lowered his head in thought and nodded involuntarily.
"The leader of Class C is Kaneda now, so I feel there should be no problem."
"I agree too,"
Shibata couldn't help but smile.
"And our class's scores are much better than those of Class C. As long as we choose our project, we should be very sure of winning. The only problem is," Kanzaki frowned and said with a headache,
"We are not the only ones who know this, I'm afraid other classes also hope to become rivals with Class C. It just depends on luck." Ichinose nodded and looked at Hikigaya beside him and asked, "Hikki, do you have any comments?"
"No..." Hikigaya couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He is just a useless fourth-in-command. But Hikigaya really doesn't have any objections.
After all, Class D and Class B are in a cooperative relationship. There is no problem in choosing Class C, as long as you don't choose Class A. In his eyes anyway, both Class D and Class C are soft persimmons. As long as they can pinch the soft persimmons, there will be nothing wrong with them. Not to mention that Kaneda is the leader of Class C now.
Even with Ryuuen here, Hikigaya still thinks Class C is a soft persimmon.
Therefore, he can't give any reasonable advice.
"That's good," Ichinose couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Just hearing Hikigaya nodding made her feel at ease inexplicably.
"Then I'll go vote first, and you can continue this discussion!"
The people around him moved out of the way, and Ichinose smiled and nodded before leaving the classroom.
"Then the next step is to decide on the project,"
Shibata then smiled and said.
"Sure enough, how about we choose the written test that we are better at?"
"Yes," Kanzaki didn't have any objections.
"In this case, as long as we don't encounter Class A, we should be able to win with confidence. If we encounter Class A, we can only consider other projects."
"Oh?" At this moment, an ethereal voice sounded.
"It seems that I came at the wrong time." Hikigaya couldn't help but look back at the door, but his sight was blocked by several classmates, but some people still exclaimed.
"Sakayanagi?"
Hikigaya looked shocked and quickly stood up to blend in with the crowd, feeling that they were probably here to find him.
"What are you doing here?"
"Don't be nervous,"
Sakayanagi held her cane in hand and walked slowly to everyone, with an elegant smile on her face.
"I'm just one person, what can I do?" "I just came to see Hikigaya-kun and have a few words to say." Sakayanagi came in front of several people, and several boys from Class B couldn't help but give way, revealing Hikigaya in the middle of the crowd.
"That..." Hikigaya looked around, then forced a smile and looked at Sakayanagi.
"Sakayanagi-san, what's the matter?"
"Nothing special."
Looking at Hikigaya who appeared embarrassed, Sakayanagi couldn't help but smile:
"I just wanted to come over and see you."
This man in front of me.
On the surface, he is submissive, but behind his back, he punches hard.
He directly forced her into such a dilemma.
"Ha ha."
Hikigaya laughed dryly:
"I'm not a magic mirror. What do you want to see?"
"Ah..."
The corner of Sakayanagi's mouth couldn't help but curve.
"Maybe I just want to ask you, who is the most beautiful person in the world?"
"Hiss"
Hikigaya gasped.
Something's wrong!
Something is wrong with Sakayanagi today. It feels like this guy is going to get serious.
"I heard that Ichinose and the others seem to call you Hikki."
Sakayanagi Arisu raised her head and looked at the man in front of her, and said with a smile:
"Then I will call you that too.
"You are really powerful. You can actually control the out-of-class appreciation votes of Class C and Class D. You put me in a dilemma."
"Three times in a row, I have been made so embarrassed by you.
"Hikki, you are really amazing..."
Three times?
Hikigaya was a little confused and quickly explained:
"When we slept together in the forest, that was just the most effective way to do it, it has nothing to do with me."
Sakayanagi just stared at the man in front of her with a smile.
Naturally, she didn't take it to heart when they slept together in the forest. After all, it was just a means of fighting during the exam.
It's about Hikigaya following them to the ramen shop, Ichinose's rumors, and what happened this time.
That's right.
Sakayanagi counted that time at the ramen shop.
Although she knew clearly that he was not following them, she didn't want to reason with the girls. Anyway, Sakayanagi just felt that there were three times.
Hikigaya always embarrassed me every time.
"And..."
Hikigaya forced a smile and said:
"This time I just want to avoid dropouts. It's just a coincidence."
"Hehe.…"
Sakayanagi chuckled softly.
It was precisely because she couldn't do it that she was in trouble.
During the sleepover in the forest, Class A fell into last place, causing her prestige in Class A to be somewhat shaken.
This time I lost protection points again.
And there was no room for error in the duel with Ayanokouji, so he couldn't attack Katsuragi.
Neither advancing nor retreating.
If this continues, she may really continue to have an internal conflict with Katsuragi.
And this time is very bad.
A year has passed.
If the internal strife continues, once she falls out of Class A, there won't be that much time for her to play.
And all this.
It's all thanks to the man in front of me!
"Coincidence?"
"It's not a big problem. Hikki, you don't have to be like this."
Sakayanagi came to Hikigaya with her sword in hand, forced him into the corner, looked up at the young man staring in front of her and smiled:
"I really admire you. Not only did you think of a way to force the school to make concessions to pass the exam, but you also conveniently voted for Katsuragi from outside the class, causing internal strife in Class A and driving me to a near dead end!"
Hikigaya leaned against the wall, raised his hands, and stiffly observed the people around him.
Shibata and the others scratched their cheeks in embarrassment, while Kobashi Yume and the rest hesitated to speak.
"Um... Sakayanagi-san, you're causing a lot of trouble for Hikki."
"Oh, is that so?"
With a smile, Sakayanagi took a few steps back, watched, and breathed a sigh of relief. Hikigaya responded with a smile:
"Hikki, you are undoubtedly a genius!"
"No, no."
Hikigaya shook his head quickly and said,
"You're overthinking it. I can't even do well in mathematics, how can I be a genius? If you're looking for an opponent, go to Katsuragi and Ryuuen!"
"There's no need to be so modest."
The smile on Sakayanagi's face softened:
"A genius is not defined by their grades, but by their way of thinking. In my eyes, even the school can be manipulated."
"I've never even thought of this. Just based on this, you are undoubtedly a rare genius!"
Although it's not apparent,
Sakayanagi was genuinely taken aback by this move.
Everyone is trying their best to complete the exams proposed by the school, but Hikigaya is actually thinking of how to manipulate the school and force it to make concessions.
This is undoubtedly a difference in the way of thinking.
In Hikigaya's eyes, whether it's class struggle or school, they are just chess pieces that he can manipulate.
Hikigaya's vision is much broader than both hers and Ayanokouji's.
At least, that's how it appears to Sakayanagi.
Sakayanagi approached Hikigaya with a smile and reached out to touch his cheek, but Hikigaya quickly dodged it.
"And I like the sky the most!"
Sakayanagi looked at the young man in front of her and smiled casually.
"I really want to defeat the genius in front of me quickly. It will be more interesting to have such a genius surrender at my feet!"
