Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

"that power?"

"It's not just about following the school rules and judging other students. The real power of the student council president of this school is to change the school rules according to his own will and change the foundation of this school!"

"!!"

Hikigaya's words made Ryuen Sho's pupils shrink suddenly.

As the leader of Class C, he naturally understood what Hikigaya's words meant in an instant.

That means you will be at the true pinnacle of this school!

"But how can you guarantee that you can become the student council president? Can you, a mere D-class student, defeat the others and take that position?"

"Of course it's not possible under normal circumstances."

Hikigaya nodded silently, but immediately spoke up: "But do you know where the power of the student council president comes from? What do you think is the source of a student council president who can surpass the teachers and the school and transform this school?"

"..."

This time, Ryuen Sho took a lot longer to think.

After a long time, he spoke in a skeptical tone: "Is it points?"

"Yes."

Although he had no idea whether this was the correct answer, Hikigaya's purpose was just to trick Ryuen Sho into believing in him, so he didn't care whether the answer was correct or not.

"As you said, the source of the student council president's power is points, and it is an incomparably huge amount of points that you can hardly imagine. As long as you have those points, even if you are not the student council president, your status is basically the same as that of the student council president."

Hikigaya looked at Ryuen Sho, "So, do you understand why I asked Class C for personal points that no one wants? Tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of personal points can't really change anything. They can't even save a person who is about to drop out. But if this number rises to millions, tens of millions, or even more exaggerated, it will be able to change everything, and even transform this school!"

"It is precisely in order to obtain this ability that I put forward the conditions to you."

Hikigaya's words fell calmly.

Long Yuanxiang's expression gradually became solemn.

He no longer regarded Hikigaya in front of him as a guy from Class D, and no longer looked down on him. There was even a look in his eyes that he would have when looking at someone of the same status or even higher status.

"I understand, Dead Fish Eyes, so this is your purpose." Long Yuanxiang exhaled deeply, "I will give you 5 million points, but in return, I also have a condition."

"condition?"

"Transfer to our Class C, dead fish eyes. You shouldn't have any attachment to that crappy class, right? Class C can give you better treatment!"

"That does sound good."

Hikigaya nodded in acknowledgement of Ryuuen's words, but then changed the subject, "Unfortunately, I refuse."

Chapter 204: Shiina's 'gentleness' is a cruel poison

Hikigaya rejected Ryuen Sho's invitation to transfer to another class without any hesitation, without even the slightest pause in the process.

This undoubtedly confused Long Yuanxiang himself, and he couldn't understand why the other party would refuse so easily.

"Do you really want to stay in Class D?" Ryuen stared at Hikigaya's face. "Aren't you looked down upon by the others in the class? Wouldn't it be more satisfying to be with Class C than to stay in Class D full of rubbish? Could it be that my information is wrong?"

"Your intelligence is correct."

Hikigaya could imagine that Ryuen Sho must be very familiar with the situation in Class D, so he had no intention of lying at this time, and said calmly: "It's true that no one pays attention to me in Class D, and most of them look down on me, but I don't care about this kind of environment."

"Don't care?"

Ryuen Sho's eyes widened. He obviously couldn't understand why Hikigaya didn't care about other people's attitudes. This was completely contrary to his idea.

Hikigaya looked at Ryuen Sho silently, "This school respects strength above all else, but Ryuen, do you know what real strength is? Is it the respect of others? Is it the position above everyone else? Or is it promoted to Class A? If you think these superficial things are the real strength, then I have nothing to say. I can only obey you."

"..."

Hikigaya's words had a huge impact on Ryuen Sho.

The King of Class C fell into a silence that was longer than any other time before, and finally said slowly: "Well, it seems that I really underestimated you, Dead Fish Eyes."

"So the deal is done?"

"Although you rejected my conditions just now, I will still agree to this deal." Long Yuanxiang said slowly, "In addition, I would like to propose another condition, that is, Class C wants to establish an alliance with you personally."

"Alliance? Tell me more about it."

"The goal of Class C is to complete the promotion and become Class A, and your goal is to become the student council president. There is no conflict between our two goals, right?"

Ryuen Sho looked at Hikigaya, "Based on this, I think we might be able to start some cooperation that would benefit both of us. For example, in future grade exams, Class C can share information with you to a certain extent. At the same time, we can also make use of each other in certain situations."

"You're using each other... You really are being merciless."

"Humph, no matter how ruthless I am, I am better than a guy like you who extorts five million the first time we meet."

Ryuen Sho spoke in dissatisfaction.

He obviously still couldn't accept the fact that Class C was going to lose such a large amount of points for no apparent reason.

Hikigaya thought deeply about the benefits and risks of this cooperation.

Finally, he nodded slowly and said, "If it's just basic information exchange, I can choose to cooperate with Class C to a certain extent."

"Oh, you are really not a simple guy."

Hmm? Why do you think I'm not simple?

The reason why Hikigaya agreed to cooperate with Ryuen Sho was because he felt there would be no risk in doing so.

Class C is already the class with the worst situation at the moment. Compared to Hikigaya, they are now in a more difficult situation.

Therefore, Hikigaya doesn't have to worry about what kind of trouble Class C will bring to him.

Moreover, Hikigaya does need to establish certain connections with other classes. If he wants to find an opportunity to leave school in the future, he will need a wider intelligence circle.

Maybe someone in Class C will get the opportunity to leave this school in the future and can take me out with me?

After all, as a veteran sister-con, Hikigaya would do anything to get away from this shitty place and go back to see his lovely Komachi.

Of course, in the end he did not forget Class D, or rather Horikita Suzune.

Based on the request of a student council president, he still had to take care of the other party to some extent, at least to prevent the other party from being completely defeated or even frustrated in the class confrontation.

In this case, it will be quite necessary to control the situation in other classes in the future.

So, Hikigaya officially reached an agreement with Ryuen Sho, Class C will pay Hikigaya 5 million points, and Hikigaya will no longer spread any content related to Ishizaki and others.

By the way, the two parties have also reached the most basic cooperative relationship. Although neither side cares too much and lacks the sincerity of partners, with this relationship, there will surely be mutual contact in the future.

"As for the specific contract, we'll find a teacher to sign it later." Hikigaya said silently, "As for the choice of teacher, I recommend Class B's homeroom teacher, Hoshinomiya Chie. She has no connection with either of our classes, so she can ensure fairness and prevent more people from knowing about this matter."

"Well, let's do as you say."

Ryuen Sho waved his hand, looking like he didn't want to discuss the matter anymore.

Hikigaya then stood up silently and prepared to leave.

But I don't know whether Ryuen did it intentionally or unintentionally, he actually said to Shiina Hiyori: "Shiina, go and send Hikigaya off."

“Eh, eh?”

Shiina Hiyori had just been a listener and had not participated in the conversation. He did not expect that Ryuuen would suddenly give him orders and was stunned.

She then instinctively looked at Hikigaya, her eyes dodged for a moment, but finally nodded.

Hikigaya sighed upon seeing this.

There's nothing I can do. Shiina is always so gentle. In fact, she doesn't need to worry about me at all. She can just reject Ryuuen's proposal directly.

After all, I have hurt her like that before...

However, Hikigaya still felt a little bad when he saw Shiina Hiyori looking at a confused look on his face.

So he finally took the initiative to stand up and signaled to Shiina.

The two then left the bar quietly.

During the process, neither of them said a word to each other.

Hikigaya didn't think he had anything to say, or rather, he thought Shiina wouldn't be willing to talk to someone like him again.

According to Hikigaya's understanding, once a boy hurts a girl once, the latter will most likely never have any communication with the former in her life, and even if there is something, she will find a third party to do it for her.

Of course, this is not absolute.

Sometimes, even though you haven’t hurt the other person, many girls are unwilling to communicate with you, and even directly treat you as air!

No, no, it’s better to think less about the dark history.

While thinking about the dark past, Hikigaya focused his attention on the surrounding scenery and calculated when this journey would end.

As a lone ranger, you must never bring trouble to others.

So at that time, even if Shiina Hiyori doesn't speak, I will escape at the first moment. No, this is called a strategic retreat!

Hikigaya Hachiman is leaving in style!

If you want to talk about how cool it is, it's probably equivalent to a magnetic field of one million horsepower rotating!

Hikigaya tried his best not to meet Shiina Hiyori's eyes and hastily chose an escape route.

But at this moment, Shiina Hiyori suddenly said: "Ishizaki and the others were punished by Ryuuen-kun before, and the three of them are still lying in the health room..."

"Ok?"

Hikigaya didn't expect that Shiina Hiyori would take the initiative to talk to him. This was completely beyond his expectations.

Why do we have to talk about Ishizaki and the others?

While Hikigaya was silent, Shiina Hiyori spoke up on her own: "Although this matter seems to have ended, I still want to apologize to you, Hikigaya-san. If it weren't for my fault, you wouldn't have been treated like that, and you wouldn't have been involved with Ryuuen-kun."

"..."

"I think what you said before, Hikigaya-san, is correct. It would have been better if we had never known each other from the beginning. It's my fault that everything turned out like this."

"So, let's just end it. Someone like me shouldn't have hoped to make friends with someone like you, Hikigaya-san, from the beginning."

There was a strange luster in Shiina Hiyori's eyes, as if there was a gentle liquid swirling in them. "From now on, we won't meet again. Although it's a pity, this should be the best result. Finally, I still have to say, I'm sorry, Hikigaya-san."

The girl seemed to have used up all her strength to say this.

When Hikigaya saw all this, he didn't know how to describe it.

He had never seen anyone treat him so sincerely.

But at the same time, this is also the part that he resists most about Shiina Riwa.

After all, the gentleness shown by the other party was a mirage that could not be understood from any angle for Hikigaya, who had been walking on a lonely road.

He warned himself countless times that such tenderness was a cruel poison.

Girls will only be gentle to people who can benefit them. People who are gentle to them will also be gentle to others.

That's why he hates gentle girls.

However, when he saw the expression on Shiina's face, he inexplicably felt hesitant, wondering if he had made the wrong choice.

Faced with this kind of problem that cannot be analyzed rationally, Hikigaya is like a machine that can only handle addition and subtraction operations, and suddenly encounters calculus.

A brain freeze is considered a pretty good outcome.

"..."

Therefore, he finally said nothing and watched Shiina turn and leave silently.

Although the regret in my heart began to become inexplicably strong, I began to regret whether it would be better if I made a different choice.

However, I really can't do such a thing.

He called out to Shiina loudly, then bowed and apologized, saying, "Let's be friends again."

This kind of thing is common in youth literature, but when it happens to me, I feel like I can only see it in dreams.

After all, Hikigaya is a lone ranger, an absolutely cold ascetic who will not be shaken by other people's emotions.

Even if I saw the tears falling from the girl's eyes at that moment, it would not change this reality...

perhaps.
