Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

The mistake in Katsuragi's choice was that he did not take responsibility. As a leader, if he cannot even do this, it is bound to cause morale to fall.

No wonder Sakayanagi never took Katsuragi seriously and never even thought of taking the initiative to deal with him.

"Yes...I'm sorry."

Under the coercion of Katsuragi Kōhei, Totsuka Yahiko finally chose to come to Hikigaya to apologize and admit his mistake.

This process was seen by many students, causing Yahiko Totsuka to feel like boiling lard, and his shame reached an insane level.

Alas, it seems that there will be troubles in the future.

But they are all small things.

do not worry about it.

As the matter was resolved, the students stopped watching the farce and started looking at the island in the distance which was getting closer and closer on the deck.

Most people didn't care about the source of the disturbance, but were impressed by Shiina Hiwa, the C class student who dared to face the A class.

I think his reputation within the class will be greatly improved...

"That Shiina-san is amazing."

Next to Hikigaya, Sakura Airi had a look of admiration on her face.

She had just seen Hikigaya being bullied by the people in Class A. Although she was also angry, she had no idea what to do and was completely filled with fear.

In the end, she could only support Hikigaya and watch the confrontation between Shiina Hiyori and Class A. She felt a variety of complicated emotions in her heart, and even felt a little lost.

"do not worry about it."

Seeing Sakura like this, Hikigaya couldn't help but touch her head with his hand, "Everyone always has things they are good at and things they are not good at. You just need to do your best."

"Hey hey hey..."

She didn't expect Hikigaya to show concern for her. Although Sakura Airi didn't understand what he said, she instinctively showed a happy expression.

It looks just like a pet puppy...

Not far away, Shiina Hiyori saw this scene and her eyes suddenly dimmed. She originally wanted to come forward and talk to Hikigaya and she left the scene silently.

Therefore, most people did not realize the relationship between this incident and Hikigaya. People generally believed that this was a turmoil caused by the conflict between Class C and Class A. Including Katsuragi Kōhei himself, he could not believe that the direct reason why he was besieged by three classes was Hikigaya.

Next, students from all classes observed the structure of the island, and some smart students realized how the island structure would help them in the upcoming exams.

Many people even started taking photos with their mobile phones.

Hikigaya was indifferent to this, because he felt that the school must have expected this, and it was inevitable that the phone would be confiscated after arriving on the island.

The only thing he was curious about was Katsuragi Kōhei's choice. Although he pretended not to pay attention to the island, the details in his expression clearly showed that he was very interested in the caves in the center of the island.

But why a cave?

Considering the character revealed by Katsuragi Kōhei and the strategy he had just adopted, a guess began to form in Hikigaya's mind.

Just as he was thinking further, the surroundings suddenly became noisy.

The uninhabited island that seemed somewhat far away suddenly became clear and appeared in front of all the students in the blink of an eye.

The boat did not change speed, splashing high in the air as it sailed at an unnaturally high speed.

The students' excitement and excitement were gradually rising.

It's time to go to the island!

Chapter 231: Will I not receive Komachi’s birthday present this year? No!!!

The cruise ship sailed towards the uninhabited island at a very fast speed.

When the ship was about to dock, the broadcast on the ship suddenly sounded.

"Dear first-year students, we are about to land on an uninhabited island owned by our school. All students are requested to change into sportswear in thirty minutes, and after checking the required bags and luggage, bring your cell phones and gather on the deck."

"Please leave all your personal belongings in the room. Since you can still go to the bathroom for the time being, please take care of your physiological needs as soon as possible."

After hearing this, the students in Class D immediately returned to the cabin to change their clothes and began to prepare their luggage for going to the island.

Hikigaya also followed Hirata and the others back to his room.

As he put on the sportswear required by the school, he glanced at his roommates, all of whom had different but generally weird behaviors.

First up is Yosuke Hirata. As the leader of Class D, he is undoubtedly the most normal character present, but also the one who should least be described as weird.

However, after observing Hikigaya for such a long time, he always felt that there seemed to be some deviation in his judgment of Hirata.

Whether it was the fact that the other party was willing to pretend to be a couple with Karuizawa Megumi, or the certain paranoid attitude he showed in several previous exams, it vaguely proved that the other party did not seem to be as amiable as he seemed.

Apart from these, Takazonoji and Ayanokouji are undoubtedly freaks who can be described directly with the word "weird".

It seemed that Koenji had just come back from a bath and didn't even have time to change his bath towel. His whole body looked shiny and greasy, and he could be the protagonist in a gay movie with just a casual look.

Most importantly, his self-awareness is so strong that he doesn't care about the eyes of people around him and doesn't care about any opinions of others.

He is a man as free as Banana.

Ayanokouji next to him is equally extraordinary. He looks ordinary, but actually has an extraordinary temperament everywhere.

Obviously, the other party could pretend to be truly normal many times, at least except for himself, most people would find it difficult to notice anything unusual, but Ayanokouji seemed to deliberately expose his existence to others and made some very deliberate actions.

This made Hikigaya extremely wary and repulsive towards him, and completely negated his previous judgment that "like repels like".

Because it is obvious that Ayanokouji and he are not of the same kind, but are absolutely different.

Furthermore, ever since the trip to the uninhabited island began, Hikigaya felt that Ayanokouji's abnormality had become more obvious.

The other party even began to abandon some of the most basic disguises, showing its true existence more clearly than before...

I have no idea what exactly stimulated the other party.

"Then let's gather on the deck."

Although it was a dormitory full of weirdos, Yosuke Hirata, as the class leader, still stood up and chose to lead everyone in action.

This made Hikigaya breathe a sigh of relief.

Hirata-kun, my superman!!

After changing into the deputy sports officer, Hirata Yosuke took the freaks in the dormitory to disguise themselves and wait for the ship to arrive on the island.

As the island got closer and closer, the first-year students' emotions reached their highest point, and most of them were looking forward to the upcoming uninhabited island trip.

Happy hour is about to begin!

……

"Then, please disembark from Class A first. Also, during this process, cell phones are not allowed to be brought into the island. Please hand them over to your class teacher before disembarking."

"If you are found to have brought a mobile phone into the island, the corresponding class points will be deducted."

At the command of the teacher of Class A, all the students walked down the stairs of the cruise ship in order.

"So hot."

"Walk faster—"

"Even if I wear thin clothes, I still sweat a lot."

Although it is an uninhabited island, it is still a very hot summer now. Most students are suffering from the scorching sun and unconsciously feel dissatisfied.

This was especially true for the students in Class D. Before even reaching the island, many of them had already shown signs of not being able to hold on.

Hikigaya had already expected such a development, so his expression did not change at all. At the same time, he deliberately searched among the crowd and finally found a familiar black-haired girl.

He heaved a sigh of relief and unconsciously leaned over: "I thought you hadn't shown up all day and were planning to give up on going to the island."

"What does it have to do with you if I give up going to the island?"

Horikita Suzune's attitude was just as bad as before.

However, although at first glance she looked no different from usual, Hikigaya always felt that something strange had happened to her.

After all, although the sentence just now still contained some aggressiveness, the intensity of the venom seemed to have decreased?

"What were you doing in the boat?"

"I was just reading a book in my room. The title of the book is "For Whom the Bell Tolls". Although you probably don't know it."

"What nonsense! It's just a famous work by Hemingway. I've read it too!"

When he first came to this school, Hikigaya studied a lot of famous works, which enabled him to gradually keep up with Horikita's thinking.

Of course, this little thing doesn't matter.

The important thing is that Horikita actually answered what he said just now.

According to this girl's past style, even if I asked her such a question, Horikita would most likely talk bad about herself for a while, belittle herself as worthless, and then tell me the answer honestly.

The other party's direct response just now was not so much a sign of becoming honest as it was an attempt to cover up some truth.

"..."

Hikigaya stared at Horikita and discovered more things that showed that he was different from usual.

Horikita, who is usually meticulous, also spends a lot of time on her appearance, but now she just leaves her messy black hair alone.

While waiting to board the island, Horikita seemed to feel a little cold and rubbed his arms unconsciously...

However, it was impossible for Hikigaya to take the initiative to reveal anything at this time. After all, since the other party was unwilling to say it, it meant that it was a matter related to privacy.

Maybe it's that relative who has come.

You should be a gentleman now and don't ask anything.

"I feel like something is strange about this trip." Although Hikigaya stopped asking questions, Horikita Suzune took the initiative to speak as if to divert attention, "Not only do we have to hand in our cell phones, but we are also prohibited from bringing in personal belongings, as if to prevent us from cheating."

"Yes."

Hikigaya looked not far away and saw that when students were getting off the ship, the teachers would stand on both sides of the students and check their luggage.

Since he already knew that this trip to the uninhabited island was a test, he naturally knew that this was a routine check before the test.

Horikita Suzune said doubtfully, "If we're just going to the beach, I don't think it's necessary to go to this extent."

After hearing Horikita's calm words, Hikigaya felt that the other party seemed to be returning to normal little by little.

So he didn't pay too much attention to the other person and walked down the gangway together.

"We will now begin the roll call for Class D. Please answer your questions when you are called."

After seeing all the students from Class D get off the cruise ship, Chabashira Sae began her routine roll call to make sure everyone was present.

"Ah, come on. I really hope that free time can start soon and the ocean will appear before my eyes."

When Chi Kanzhi saw this, he complained, which resonated with many students.

Most of the students in Class D were still completely unaware that anything was wrong and were still fantasizing about their week-long island trip.

Gradually, just when everyone was about to get impatient, Mr. Mashima Tomoya of Class A came in front of all the students in the class and said loudly: "First of all, I am very glad that you have arrived here safely today. However, although there is only one student, I am very sorry that someone cannot attend due to illness."

The one who couldn't attend due to illness...is Sakayanagi.

Hikigaya made his judgement.

Ike Kanji, who was standing next to him, laughed and said, "There are people who can't go on the trip because of illness. How pitiful."

Many students think so too.

However, some students noticed that the teachers all looked very serious, and did not look like they were about to go on vacation.

In fact, it was true that the homeroom teacher of Class A, Mr. Tomoya Mashima, seemed to be waiting for the atmosphere to change, and suddenly said something that shocked everyone.

"Then next──we will begin the first special exam of this year."

"Special exam? What's going on?"

In an instant, most of the students present asked confused questions.

Except for a very few people who knew the truth, even people like Ichinose from Class B who had known about the uninhabited island trip for a long time did not expect that an exam would be held during the trip!
