Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

Finally, the student council president, Manabu Horikita, slowly looked around at all the students and spoke slowly, "With the graduation of the seniors, the student council will also recruit candidates from the first-year students this time. There are no special conditions to become a candidate, but if anyone is considering becoming a candidate for the student council, please avoid joining other clubs. If someone wants to join other clubs while participating in the student council, the student council will not accept it in principle."

Horikita Manabu stated the student council's recruitment requirements in a calm and composed manner, causing all the students present to feel a sense of tension that seemed to pierce their skin.

"In addition, our student union does not want anyone with naive ideas to run for election. If you think you have limited ability, you should give up on your own. Otherwise, it will only bring unnecessary trouble to everyone. After all, our student union has been given the power and mission to change the rules by the school, so it has a special status... We only welcome people who can understand this matter."

Do you have the right and mission to change the regulations?

It really is the supremacy of strength...

Hikigaya quickly understood the meaning behind Horikita Manabu's words.

At this moment, he inexplicably felt a little unhappy, but he could do nothing about it, because this was the rule that he had to abide by if he wanted to survive in this school.

Chapter 19: I Saw an Angel at School

The student council president's attitude was very cold. He glanced indifferently at everyone present, then turned around and left with a calm expression.

All the first-year students could do was watch each other leave in silence.

"Thank you for your hard work, this is the end of the briefing."

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become awkward, the student union secretary named Akane Tachibana said quickly: "We will start accepting applications for membership now... In addition, since the application for membership will be accepted until the end of April, students who want to apply later, please bring the application form directly to the club you want to join."

As everything returned to normal, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

Without the spiritual pressure emanating from the student council president that was comparable to that of a captain-level Shinigami, the tension and oppression in the hearts of ordinary students suddenly disappeared.

After that, freshmen begin signing up for clubs, and senior club representatives begin accepting applications for membership.

Everything became orderly.

"..."

Ayanokouji looked at all this and seemed to have no interest in joining the club at all. He just came here to 'take a look', so he took a brief glance and left decisively.

Hikigaya couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this scene. The person he could least understand was Ayanokouji. Now as long as he was not around, he felt relaxed.

"Hey! You're that guy... You're here too."

Just as Hikigaya was preparing to take action, someone suddenly spoke to him from the side.

He turned around and found that it was Sudo Ken, and next to him were two of his fellow students.

Based on their self-introductions at the beginning of school, Hikigaya vaguely remembered that their names were Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki.

"Uh...you guys are calling me?"

Hikigaya didn't expect Sudo to call him on his own initiative. He had no presence in the classroom before and was basically a invisible person.

"Yeah, do you want to join the club too?"

Although Sudo has a hot temper, he is very friendly when interacting with others.

Even though he didn't know Hikigaya's name, when Ike Kanji and Yamauchi were both confused by Hikigaya's existence, Sudo Ken had already smiled and said to himself, "I've been passionate about basketball since elementary school, so I want to join the basketball club."

"nice……"

Being stared at like this, Hikigaya felt like he was getting goosebumps.

He wanted to end this conversation as soon as possible, so he said quickly: "Sorry, I also want to join the club, so I'll leave first."

"Ok."

Hikigaya left calmly, leaving only the back of Solitary Testicle.

"Who was that person just now?" After everything was over, Yamauchi Haruki couldn't help but ask, "He looked completely inconspicuous. Is he from our class?"

"Who knows?" Chi Kuanzhi said indifferently, "Never mind him. Instead of looking at that dead fish eye, let's hurry up and look for a fateful encounter! My goal is to be the first person in Class D to have a girlfriend!"

"You guy..."

Sudo Ken shook his head. "Why didn't you let him join the boys' chat group? Aren't all boys allowed to join?"

"Ah, I forgot. After all, he doesn't have much presence..." Chi Kuanzhi looked aggrieved, "I don't think anyone here knows his name."

"Yeah, let's talk about it later."

Sudo nodded and didn't bother to pay attention to Hikigaya. Instead, he focused all his attention on the upcoming basketball club interview.

……

“Socializing is really troublesome.”

Hikigaya walked on the road to the gymnasium, looking helpless.

It's not that he couldn't chat with Sudo Ken and the others, it's just that he had been accustomed to living alone for a long time and was completely unaccustomed to interacting with other people.

Even if doing so would help him get promoted in the future, he couldn't just put on a straight face, just like a high-speed train that couldn't stop straight away due to inertia...

Hikigaya kept searching through a large number of club agencies and soon found the student union's registration center.

This year's student union recruitment is visibly fierce, and among all the new students, only one new person was recruited.

Hikigaya was the first to queue up to sign up for the interview. A large number of people had already gathered here. They were all individuals from each class who considered themselves to be excellent. After all, the student union symbolized high status within the school. If the school was transformed into a small society, the student union would be equivalent to a government department.

Most students believe that joining the student union means being superior to others.

Hikigaya has no idea of ​​being superior to others, nor does he think he is capable of joining the student council. He came here to sign up purely to find out information about the student council president, Horikita Manabu.

At this time, the team gradually moved, and Hikigaya found that it would be his turn in a few more people.

It was not until this moment that he realized that the two people in front and behind his team were very different, even unique.

Standing in front of Hikigaya was a tall bald man who looked like the Hulk without any dye. Just standing there, Hikigaya had to look up at him.

Behind him was a pink-haired girl with a smile on her face all the time and a pair of big, bright eyes. Her breasts were big enough to rival those of Kikyo Kushida, and she looked as dazzling as the sun.

What position did I choose?

"Classmate, are you here to sign up for the student union as well?" The pink-haired girl took the initiative to speak when Hikigaya was numb. "My name is Ichinose Honami, and I'm the class monitor of Class B."

Monitor of Class B?

Why would such a big shot take the initiative to greet me?

"Hello...Hello." Completely unable to comprehend the situation, Hikigaya responded hesitantly.

"Eh? I've already introduced myself, why don't you introduce yourself?" Ichinose Honami seemed a little disappointed, and her bright eyes immediately dimmed a little.

"My name is Hikigaya Hachiman, and I'm a student in Class D."

As a gentleman, Hikigaya couldn't bear to see the beautiful girl show such an expression, so he could only answer helplessly.

"Hello, Hikigaya-san, it looks like we're going to be rivals from now on."

Seeing Hikigaya's response, Ichinose Honami immediately smiled.

Her attitude was extremely sincere, without showing any calculation or hostility.

This made Hikigaya, who had been in contact with weirdos in this school, stunned. He felt as if he had seen an angel...

No, I have already seen it.

"I'm Kōhei Katsuragi from Class A."

Apparently seeing the close communication between the two people behind him, the bald man standing in front of Hikigaya took the initiative to speak, "I think the competition for the student council this time will be fierce, and I will not show any mercy."

Uh, what kind of hot-blooded comic development is this?

Hikigaya himself was at his wit's end.

He just came here to gather information, so how did he get inexplicably involved in the competition between these big guys?

Is there any mistake?

Chapter 20: The Student Council President's Attention

The Student Union does not interview the largest number of people, but it is definitely the most rigorous.

All the freshmen had to queue for a long time just to register.

Most students did not relax after obtaining the registration qualification. After all, this is just the simplest step for the student union interview, and the real test comes later.

After it was his turn, Hikigaya went to the student council registration desk.

There were two tables at the registration desk, with two student union officials sitting at them, namely the student union president Horikita Manabu and the student union secretary Tachibana Akane.

Huh? Student Council President!?

Hikigaya was stunned. He could never have imagined that the student council president would personally receive the registration of new students and sit at the registration office.

Shouldn't this kind of thing be handled by any subordinate? !

"Classmate, do you want to sign up for the student union?"

While Hikigaya was stunned, the senior named Akane Tachibana said with a gentle smile, "Please tell me your name and class first."

"My name is Hikigaya Hachiman, a freshman in Class D." Hikigaya answered hesitantly.

The pressure from Horikita Manabu was so strong that he couldn't help but hunch his back a little...

"Eh? A student from Class D?"

Upon hearing that Hikigaya was from Class D, Senior Akane Tachibana's expression suddenly became surprised. It was obvious that she didn't expect that a student from Class D would appear here.

In previous years, student union registration and Class D basically had nothing to do with these things.

This is not just some special campus rules, but also a problem that exists in Class D itself, and few people can break through it.

"Cough cough..."

As if noticing that Tachibana Akane was standing there in a daze because of Hikigaya being in Class D, Student Council President Horikita Manabu coughed twice silently, which brought the former back to her senses immediately.

Tsk tsk, what kind of domineering aura is this...

Hikigaya's opinion of Horikita Manabu rises again, and he also becomes more certain of the relationship between him and Horikita Suzune.

At least this cold-looking face is really the same...

"Sorry, I was a bit dazed."

Senior Tachibana Akane's bun hair shook slightly. She quickly recovered herself, apologized to Hikigaya with a smile on her face, then took out a registration form and said, "Please fill in your identity registration information first, and then go over there to get your interview number."

"Ok."

When Hikigaya was filling out the information, the student council president suddenly gave a hint to Akane Tachibana.

The latter reacted immediately and said:

"Why do you want to join the student council, Hikigaya-san?"

Huh? Has the interview started yet?

I have no idea why Tachibana Akane suddenly asked such a question. Hikigaya, who essentially came only to gather information about Horikita Manabu, of course would not tell the truth.

But he also didn't prepare in advance for the interview questions.

In a hurry, he could only answer: "Well... I don't have many friends in the class. Instead of wasting time on socializing, I might as well do something to improve myself. Besides, I'm in Class D. No one knows what will happen in the future. I need to make sure that my future campus life is secure."

"Eh?"

When Hikigaya finished speaking, he found that the student council president and secretary in front of him both had strange expressions and were staring at him intently.

What, what happened? Did I say something wrong?!

While Hikigaya was stunned, Ichinose Honami behind him said with a smile:

"Hikigaya-san you are amazing. I didn't expect you to have such deep thoughts right after entering school. I also want to learn from you."

Although Ichinose Honami's words were simple, in a sense they pushed Hikigaya into a position where everyone was the target of criticism. The other students who wanted to join the student union couldn't help but stare at Hikigaya and deliberately cast their attention on him.

Hikigaya could tell that Ichinose's words were just unintentional. He probably didn't think too much when he said them. However, in the end, it caused him unnecessary trouble...

"Nothing spectacular."

In order to dispel other people's vigilance against him, Hikigaya said calmly, "Actually, I was just pranked by my classmates. They said they hoped someone in the class could join the student union, and then they threw me here without saying anything. I had no choice..."

These words were Hikigaya's own experience.
