The next day. Morning.
Hachiman came to the classroom, but sat in his seat, a little dazed. He's looking for a solution.
According to the quality of the students in the class, it is very difficult to be promoted to Class A.
The best opportunity is when people first enter the school.
Gotta grab a good card. Only.
"Ding-ding-ding-" It's already been five minutes of class.
But there are only 39 students in Class D, first grade. Then there was one who was calling for a nap.
Even though the teacher was already at the podium, many already wanted to touch their mobile phones.
And this time. "Report!"
"Because I was selected as a regular member of the basketball club, I practiced a little hard, and then I was late." A tall boy said at the front door of the classroom.
He has red hair, long arms and legs, and appears to be good at sports.
And this person is familiar to Hachiman. Sudo, who is good at basketball.
The color is sharp and the heart is full.
He obviously said "Ah, introduce yourself? Are you still a brat?" But it was his turn and he immediately participated in the introduction.
At the same time, he was also the one who was ridiculed by the senior class "You will see hell soon" because of his bad appearance.
But Hachiman didn't expect that, a student who only joined the basketball team the day before yesterday, has already become a regular player.
Because places like the basketball club almost rely on strength, and joining at this time usually starts with newcomers helping the seniors clean their balls.
But Sudo can become the main selection, which shows that his athletic ability is worthy of recognition.
Hachiman took notes. Only. He dared to glance at the camera hanging in the upper left corner of the classroom that could capture all scenes.
Now, Class D's remaining class evaluation score is probably -1 point deducted.
Because. As a student at Advanced Nurturing High School, he was late for the first class.
__________
There are four classes in the morning, namely physics, chemistry, English and biology.
All classes are taught by male teachers, which is quite difficult.
Similar to Chabashira-sensei, all the teachers just let the students do what they want and ignore them, so they finish class as soon as the time comes.
When the bell rang for the fourth period, Hachiman glanced at Kushida-san, who was very popular in the class.
Her gaze also happened to come over.
Their eyes met for a moment.
"Eh? Really? That's really fun~ Let's go to Keyaki mal after school to experience it." This was the voice of Kushida-san.
She is chatting with her companions.
Obviously, she didn't care about him at all, but continued to walk with the girls.
This is so reassuring.....Bruh?
'Shut up, I don't want Kushida's attention at all!
It seems that as long as Hachiman doesn't step on her landmine, or doesn't come into contact with Horikita, who came from the same junior high school as her and may know her dark history, then she will be very real.
However, Kushida-san's friend changed today. It was not Wang Mei-yu, but the hot girls group in the class.
'Did, Kushida abandon her best friend like a lost puppy?'
'Of course not, silly!' When she was talking to Karuizawa, she seemed to be talking about perfume.
Kushida and Hirata are doing similar work.
Yosuke is Class D's mother, who is responsible for all kinds of troubles and conflicts, interpersonal relationships, etc. of the classmates in the class.
Although Kushida also greets boys, it can be seen that she mostly interacts with girls.
There is nothing that can be done about it.
The boys are relatively simple, but the girls have formed various cliques very quickly.
For example, the 20 girls in the class are divided into three groups.
One of them is Kushida and Wang Miyu, and they will also bring along a classmate named Inokashira Kokoro.
The others are the hot girls group headed by Karuizawa Kei.
Maya Sato, Satsuki Shinohara, Chiaki Matsushita, and Hasebe Haruka, who was once highly praised by Yamauchi, all joined in.
But based on Hachiman's observation experience, the Chiaki Matsushita girl is a fake hottie.
Then there are the less outstanding girls in the class, such as Onodera, and then some unnamed NPC-like girls who hope to blend in from time to time.
And this is how an ecosystem was formed in a few days. 'Girl's inter-personal relationships are really terrible!'
Speaking of which. In fact, there are two girls who have been excluded.
One of them is Horikita Suzune, who has not joined the class yet, and the other is Sakura, who has pink hair tied into twin tails and pink glasses.
Her full name is Sakura Airi.
And Hachiman noticed that the other person's eyes seemed to be looking over cautiously, as if to confirm whether he was staring at her.
When Airi discovered that she was really being stared at, she quickly put the book up.
Then she hid her face inside. So cute.
Hachiman felt that this tired life of facing four male teachers today and having to attend classes for 45 minutes x4 was cured.
For example, Horikita, she has been isolated by the girls in just a few days.
'Do you really not want to change?'
But, Hachiman is not qualified to say anything about Horikita at this point.
Because he still has zero friends. So, he came to the cafeteria and sighed softly.
"Ara~ ara, isn't this Hikigaya-kun? Why is he looking so sad?"
He came before anyone else.
Hachiman noticed that a little princess with straight silver hair came forward holding a cane.
Behind her was Masumi Kamuro, who had long purple hair and two hairpins.
Kamuro-san keeps a certain distance from Sakayanagi, but her obedience can be seen.
Obviously. It seems that after not seeing each other for two days, she has become more tamed.
Looks like, Domestication skills are pretty high.
"I didn't expect to meet the representative of Class A here." Hachiman decided to end this talk, before it even started. He wasn't in a good mood today.
"Oh?" Sakayanagi, was just passing by and about to hold her cane to leave, but now, she heard the flattery of this annoying Hikigaya classmate.
Um. She suddenly decided not to leave.
___________
Hikigaya Hachiman, a first-year student in Class D.
His appearance is okay, but slightly affected by a pair of dead fish eyes, but if he wears a pair of glasses to cover it up, his appearance can probably be improved a lot.
But it is undeniable that this guy's thinking is quite mature.
And the insight is very sharp.
Sakayanagi arranged for her puppy to explore the other party's information and found that his academic ability was just average, but he could get almost full marks in the Japanese subject.
In other words, there are also advantages.
So, Sakayanagi Arisu has a pretty high opinion of this Hikigaya-kun.
But these are just superficial things.
What really impressed her was that this guy had no martial ethics and actually bullied a sickly girl like her!
And now. 'Hikigaya-kun seemed to have a sad face. It indeed makes me happy inside!'
This was also the reason why she saw the other person and came over.
And now. "I didn't expect to meet the representative of Class A here." That's what the other party said.
He actually gave her an honorific title.
In other words, the other party is in trouble.
'He wants me to leave quickly and doesn't want to pay attention to him, right?'
And for such a good thing, why not sit down and listen carefully to make herself feel better?
____________
Sakayanagi Arisu's expression immediately turned cute.
Rather, she has always been cute.
She also won the title of Little Princess Sakayanagi in her class, which was a compliment to her appearance and ability.
And now she was sitting on the opposite side of Hachiman.
Kamuro-san stood behind her like a follower.
Sakayanagi Arisu's knees. She is wearing white garters today.
The dress is cute too. Although the legs are a bit fleshy, it is said that these legs are the most comfortable to touch.
"..." Hachiman. ??
He quickly retracted his random thoughts, must be overusing his brain.
Hachiman was just thinking about troublesome things. That is, taking Class D to confront Class A.
The students in his class are uneven, and even if Chabashira is willing to give some points, as the class teacher, she cannot give support beyond the bottom line.
Otherwise, it is cheating.
'I'm afraid she doesn't want to intervene too much, because Sensei is simulating this class D as her own, which I think didn't get much help from the class teacher either.'
Therefore, she will only provide the minimum assistance.
So, Chabashira-sensei is unreliable. But the most important thing now is how to apply this code of conduct test.
It is true that because of the fundamental gap in strength, as long as the number of exams increases, the probability of Class D being at the bottom will be greater.
So, it is basically impossible to hit the porcelain.
But now, the four classes are all on the same starting line, with a basic class evaluation score of 1,000 points.
So, if Hachiman plays his cards well at the beginning, the chances are still great.
And the 10 million in cash he wants is also very hot. But as everyone saw, the students in Class D had the most points deducted.
'So, how do I extract points from the enemy's hands?'
And this is the reason why Hikigaya-kun looks sad in Sakayanagi Arisu's eyes.
____________
Just at this time.
Hachiman noticed that Sakayanagi didn't leave, but just sat on the opposite side of him.
And with a cute and polite smile on her face.
'Obviously here to gloat. Sure enough, it was stupid to write expressions on my face casually' Hachiman felt that the other party noticed his expression and then came over.
While thinking about it.
"Cut!" A girl from Class D, Grade 1, passed by carrying tableware.
The other party has beautiful long golden hair. Her long hair reaches her waist and is tied tightly with a green hair rope.
Bright eyebrows and white teeth. Very cute looking.
But there is a slight difference compared to Sakayanagi Arisu.
The two are different types, one is a girl and the other is a loli.
But if Sakayanagi Arisu is the cutest in the school, then the other party can also be ranked second.
Just her legs were wearing bubble socks. It seems like she can get extra points too.
"..." Hachiman. He decided to ignore the girls in the class for now.
This girl can be regarded as someone who's responsible for deepening his memory.
The last time Kamuro-san came to class, she said that if he was confessed to by a girl from another class, it should be the excellent Hirata-kun.
Later, Kushida-san also reported that someone noticed him eating with Sakayanagi Arisu, and the girls even suspected him of being a lolita person.
Apparently the girl [who noticed him] was probably this Karuizawa Kei.
And now. [Is he really a lolicon?]
After making eye contact like this, she left. It's just that this Karuizawa has gone too far!
You are unique if you can be listed in Hachiman's little notebook three times in a row.
___________
"Have you encountered any trouble, Hikigaya-kun?" Sakayanagi asked, very politely, trying to be a good girl, "For example, being thought of as a lolita control or something....."
'Okay, don't say it anymore...But it's confirmed that you just wanted to cause me trouble, and sat here on purpose.'
"If you encounter any trouble, then you can tell me. It will make me happy." Sakayanagi said, while looking quite bored, but her eyes obviously sparkling.
"Campus life is so boring." Her eyes were really laughing at his sadness.
Okay. 'Then you are really a bitch, for
taking joy in other people's troubles'
However, this loli is probably the smartest person Hachiman has ever met. So, he decided to see if he could get some plans from the other party.
"I think my class's evaluation score is only about 500 points."
"..." Sakayanagi.
"??" Kamuro-san.
The weak-looking girl didn't say anything, but Kamuro-san looked over in surprise.
'Because isn't this just the fifth day of enrollment?'
According to the school rules obtained from Mashima-sensei, each class of freshmen has a class evaluation score of 1,000 points.
'As a result, your class D... lost 500 points in 5 days? Are you really so great?!'
They both looked quite shocked....
__________
"Before, you said that based on past data, after the end of the first month, the students in Class D will have about four to five hundred percent class evaluation scores."
"But now, I find out that the students in my class are extremely destructive." Hachiman said, while looking down. Very sad expression.
"So I suspect that if I do nothing, then at the end of a month, my class points will become 0." Even his tone was a little lonely.
Everyone who listened felt sad.
Because, 500 points deducted for 5 days.
"..." X2 is indeed quite outrageous.
It can be felt just a little bit that some of the students in Class A are the radical types like Sakayanagi Arisu, while some want to choose the steady type of Katsuragi-san.
But no matter which faction you belong to, there is a task that must be done.
That is gathering intelligence. The first month is to assess the student's behavioral standards.
The students in Class A took shortcuts and knew how to deal with the exam, so they will surely get very good results after this month, and will also be far away from the lower classes.
Then some students came into contact with people from Class D.
'Then... well I do think it's pretty bad over there.'
Only. "What does this have to do with us?" It was Kamuro-san who asked to open her mouth, instead of their class leader.
Because yes. 'What does your class D points have to do with our class A?!' She couldn't understand it.
"Kamuro-san." But Hachiman didn't speak, it was Sakayanagi who chose to respond, "Please don't bring trouble to the class." her eyes seemed cold.
??
She looked at Sakayanagi in confusion.
'Because, the worse Class D is, the safer it is for Class A, right?'
Because if the lower class cannot climb up, then Class A will never have to worry about it.
Hachiman also put his hands on his knees.
"Sakayanagi probably meant that Class D is already destroyed and will have 0 points anyway, so it's better to drag other classes into the mud."
"After all, we have 0 points with no hope of promotion, so the bottom line can continue to decline. "
"For example, once there are 0 points, no more points will be deducted. If you do something that will deduct points for both classes, then Class D won't get a negative, but other classes do not have 0 points, there is still room for points to be deducted."
"And if you do it to the extreme, you can push all the opponents ABC back to 0 points with one powerful move." Hachiman said with such a straight face, that makes Kamuro-san look ashamed.
'Drag other classes in the mud with us! There's no need to play alone, right?'
And does this mean that all four classes and even Class A will be brought to the same starting line of 0 points?
'Grass! You are so fucking sick!'
"..." Kamuro-san. She thought it would be better not to interrupt.
Suddenly, she heard what kind of ghost proposal this was, it must be too devilish.
"It's just that it's dangerous for you Class D," Sakayanagi who thought about it deeply, saw how scared she looked, so she decided to give her some cream.
Although Kamuro-san is her pet, if the pet dies, she, as the owner, must seek justice!
_________
Bring down the hammer!
"Because once the school discovers such intentions, your entire Class D may be expelled."
"After all, the scores of Class D in the upper grades are not very good. If everyone starts rushing to imitate you, there would be chaos in the upper classes? There's no need to threaten the good atmosphere."
"The school will definitely not allow it."
"So you, Class D, first grade, will be directly killed to scare the monkeys." Sakayanagi described this situation, in an easy looking manner. 'Father would definitely not allow this kind of sexy operation to go wild!'
And this rhetoric is quite offensive.
"It is indeed possible. But.....that's just my idea."
That's right. It's so scary when he think about it this way.
'So, there is no threat? Or do you do it once or twice?' Then it is still possible to lower the score of Class A.
'This guy should go see a doctor or something..... His thinking is just fucked up' Kamuro-san thought harder in her mind.
Suddenly she felt... Sakayanagi Arisu had told her before that Hikigaya-kun needed attention, and that he might be more suitable for Class A than Katsuragi's follower Totsuka Yahiko.
At that time, she felt that Sakayanagi was saying something stupid.
Business blowback cannot be like this.
But. Now it's experienced. Hikigaya Hachiman, this guy is a bit scary.
It's just that it's better to keep quiet for now.
Kamuro-san is a student in Class A, and of course she wants to eventually graduate as Class A, and then get the school's promise to fulfill her wish, and get a career she wants to find a job in.
But, she also knew that her strength was not enough.
'And relying on Katsuragi... I always feel that although the opponent is stable, there is a feeling that I can't fully bet on him'
But betting on Sakayanagi Arisu, Kamuro-san's weakness is controlled by her, and it is useless even if she wants to escape. So, she could only stay silent, and get bullied.
__________
"But I don't think you would go to such great lengths for Class D."
"Because you haven't accepted my support before." Sakayanagi was sure about this point, "So, what happened to make you care so much about this matter?"
"... Let's forget about the support." Hachiman shook his head in denial, when this deal came up again,"I will not betray my class."
"Besides, I have taken the initiative to propose the AA system before. If you really want to pay, then you should pay then, instead of sharing the bill and the cost of the private room with me."
What they are talking about here is that the two met the day before yesterday, and after the confrontation, they went to the cafeteria on the third floor to eat together.
As a result, Hachiman and her made AA.
At that time, Sakayanagi thought Hachiman was a person without grace.
Result. 'Did he actually want me to pay?' Arisu found that she didn't get this.
