Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

This may be one of his few advantages.

Chi pondered over Yamauchi's confusion and said, "It's impossible to light a fire with such thick branches. You need thinner branches at the beginning! Aren't all the branches you brought very thick? And some of them are damp. This won't work at all."

"Is that so?" Yamauchi seemed a little unconvinced, "But what I saw on TV clearly showed people lighting fires directly like this."

“That’s an artistic process.”

After saying this, Ike Kanji went into the nearby forest and came back immediately.

He picked up branches of varying thicknesses, from slender to medium-thick, and he also brought back a handful of dead leaves.

"I brought the appropriate branches."

After Ike finished speaking, he picked up the matchbox that Yamauchi had placed and quickly lit the dead leaves. The fire on the leaves gradually spread and moved to the small branches.

Chi watched the size of the fire while slowly adding thick branches.

"Pfft!"

In a blink of an eye, it transformed into a huge fire, illuminating the camp in the evening.

"Wow, it actually lit up!"

"That's amazing! People with camping experience are really different."

"Chi, you are very capable!"

Under the illumination of the flames, the students in Class D praised Chi from the bottom of their hearts, and the atmosphere in the class unknowingly eased from its tense state.

Everyone was immersed in the sense of accomplishment in building the camp, and no one cared about the confrontation between Shinohara Satsuki and Hikigaya anymore.

Of course, this does not mean that what just happened has completely disappeared.

It’s just that most people no longer think about these chaotic contradictions and pretend that they don’t exist, thereby maintaining a fragile harmonious balance.

After the incident was over, Shinohara Satsuki left the scene immediately. After this lesson, she would not dare to cause any trouble again in the short term.

Yosuke Hirata maintained the stability of the class at the first opportunity and guided the students to build the camp thoroughly.

After doing all this, he walked towards Hikigaya, but there was no longer the gentle smile on his face as in the past, but a strange expression.

That look was more of incomprehension and confusion than complaint.

"Why...why would you do such a thing?"

"..."

Hikigaya said nothing about this.

After all, he and Hirata were two types of people who were destined not to understand each other. Even if he used words to convey his thoughts, it would only confuse the other party.

Hikigaya then shook his head and turned away without saying anything.

When he was planning to find a place on the edge of the camp where he could be alone without having to endure anyone's disgusted gaze, Horikita Suzune suddenly appeared beside him.

"You've done this again."

"what?"

Hikigaya pretended not to understand, looking confused.

"I should have said that I hate your behavior."

"But that doesn't mean it's wrong, does it?"

Facing Horikita Suzune's mixed emotions, Hikigaya smiled and said, "Look, isn't this a very efficient way to do it, and no one will get hurt? It's simply too perfect!"

"you……"

Horikita seemed to be angered by Hikigaya's shameless reaction, and her face turned dark.

She didn't know why she was so angry, but there was an indescribable anger burning in her heart.

"I'm an idiot for expecting anything from a guy like you!"

Horikita Suzune turned around angrily and left.

Hikigaya was left confused, totally unable to understand what the other party was so angry about.

Chapter 262: Horikita Suzune will be jealous of me? You must be kidding!

After ending the crisis caused by class division and confrontation between men and women, Class D finally ended the quarrel and got back on track for the uninhabited island exam.

With the addition of the powerful reinforcement Ike Kanji, the class also gained a huge boost in experience in surviving in the wild.

Finally, after everyone's concerted efforts, the camp was successfully built before nightfall.

The group that Kushida belonged to even found a lot of fruits from the forest to use as food supplies for the class.

Ike Kanji helped identify which foods were edible and which were not, further gaining the respect of other students in the class in the process.

Although they still felt a little uneasy, the students in Class D finally united in a real sense this time and learned how to rely on the strength of the group to deal with the crisis.

Faced with this situation, Hikigaya was unusually not too annoying, but unfortunately his reputation was so bad that he could not fit into this atmosphere at all.

While everyone's interest had not yet died down, Hirata Yosuke took the initiative to stand up:

"Everyone, I know that this special exam is something that everyone has never encountered before, so I understand that you are at a loss. However, I do not want everyone to quarrel or conflict because of contradictions and distrust. I hope that everyone can get along harmoniously."

When he said this, he even glanced at Hikigaya.

What are you doing?

Do you want to say that I am an outlaw who destroys class unity?

I'm sorry, I really am...

Shaking his head, Hikigaya would not destroy the unity of the class for no reason, so he didn't think Hirata Yosuke needed to worry about him in this regard.

Hirata Yosuke continued, "Moreover, Horikita and I have just calculated the specific points expenditure for this exam. We believe that as long as we can have more than 120 points left in this exam, we can basically be considered a winner."

"120 points?" Yukimura Teruhiko immediately refuted Hirata's words, "In other words, you plan to use 180 points? If there is no reason, I can't easily accept it, Hirata."

"Of course, I can give you reasons to accept it."

Hirata had anticipated the questioning, so he placed the manual on the ground and began to explain the reasons for reaching this conclusion.

"This is the point expenditure that Horikita and I calculated together - assuming that all food is supplemented by points, two meals a day, each meal requires 10 points, and we have to spend a week on this island, a total of 12 meals, adding up to 120 points. Including the temporary toilet and the purchase of two tents for boys, an additional 40 points will be needed. The remaining 20 points are used to collect the necessities of life for a week, which is a total of 180 points."

After hearing the conclusion drawn by Hirata Yosuke using numbers, the students in Class D wanted to say many things, but they held back.

Because the numbers won't change based on anyone's thoughts.

In order to encourage everyone, Hirata Yosuke directly said, "I think you may think that 120 points are too little, but if we can find a day's worth of food and water to get through it, we can save 20 points. If we don't have to worry about drinking water for a week, it will become at least 50 points."

After hearing Hirata's words, the students in Class D finally intuitively felt the value of earning points.

"If we choose to be patient, there will be such a big change..."

"Ohhh! I have to work harder to earn points!"

"One day's food and water can earn you 20 points. Let's go for it!"

Oh my, everyone is really enthusiastic.

Every student in the class was discussing enthusiastically with one another, assigning tasks to each other, and deciding to work very hard. Compared with what happened not long ago, it was hard to imagine that they were the same group of people.

However, although Hikigaya was also a student in this class, no one invited him to participate in this atmosphere.

In fact, most of the students in Class D not only did not welcome him, but also cursed and criticized him in secret, and ignored and excluded him in private.

However, this should not be considered bullying.

Well, probably not.

After all, with Hirata Yosuke around, even if these guys are dissatisfied with him in their hearts, they are still willing to give him some work on the surface.

But I really hope that they can show their bullying spirit at this time and put themselves aside.

Hikigaya picked up his fishing rod, found a place by the river, and prepared to start his work.

But before he had fished for a few minutes, a voice sounded beside him.

"I didn't expect that the person who hates you the most would be someone from your class."

Ibuki Mio walked silently to Hikigaya's side as if she was just taking a walk.

"Did you see it?" Hikigaya stared at the fishing rod and spoke casually.

"It's hard not to see it. Your abilities are still as terrifying as ever." Ibuki Mio said with a complicated expression, "However, everyone in your class seems to have misunderstood you. No one can understand your contribution."

"What credit can I have..."

"Why are you pretending in front of me? From my point of view, you are just a demon who manipulates people's hearts."

Ibuki Mio spoke from the bottom of her heart.

She had just witnessed everything and realized from the bottom of her heart how terrifying Hikigaya was.

After all, the other party was able to single-handedly reunite a class that was on the verge of civil strife and even collapse.

Although she was not smart enough to see through what method Hikigaya used, the fact that she was certain that this result was caused by the dead-eyed guy in front of her was scary enough.

"Is that what you came here to tell me?" Hikigaya was speechless. He didn't want to be called a devil, such a childish word.

"I mean, I'm sure I'll cooperate with you." Ibuki Mio said silently, "After seeing you act like that and none of the idiots in your class realizing your value, I don't think you'll help your class at all. After all, it's obvious that you don't have any feelings for this class..."

"That's not necessarily the case."

Although Hikigaya doesn't care about the guys in Class D, it doesn't mean that he doesn't care about the situation in Class D at all.

At least he still pays some attention to some people in this class.

"Hmph, no matter what, the biggest gain from coming here this time is that I am more certain of your ability, Hikigaya. Have you really not thought about coming to our C class?"

"Both Shiina and Ryuuen invited me, but I declined."

"That's a shame."

Ibuki Mio silently shook her head.

However, although he expressed regret, there was no sign of regret on his face.

After all, for Ibuki, it would be better if a terrifying and dangerous person like Hikigaya did not come to Class C, otherwise Ryuuen alone would be troublesome enough. Ryuuen plus Hikigaya...just thinking about that picture is terrifying.

Just as the two were chatting by the river, a sound as sharp as a knife suddenly came from behind them.

"The most unpopular guy in the class, get to work."

Horikita Suzune walked over while saying this deliberately.

Hikigaya looked over and saw that Horikita was looking back at him with a very cold gaze.

"I asked you to go fishing, but you haven't caught any fish in such a long time? If you can't catch ten fish in one night, you won't be able to sleep tonight!"

"Hey, where are you from, slave owner?"

You want me, a novice, to catch ten fish in one night? Why don't you let me kill ten little monsters?!

Horikita must be a relative.

Why do emotions change so unexpectedly?

"If I were a slave owner, you wouldn't have to think about sleeping tonight!"

Hey, this guy has completely ignored his human rights!

Hikigaya was confused and looked at Horikita Suzune with suspicion, but was eliminated by her glare.

"In short, don't go back to rest until you complete the task."

"No way..."

If I were working in such an environment, I would probably quit, turn off my phone, and tell my mother, "Don't answer any calls at home during this period."

It's a pity that this is an uninhabited island, there's nowhere to escape to...

Just when Hikigaya was in despair, Horikita Suzune looked at Ibuki who was standing beside him and said, "You must be the Ibuki Mio from Class C, right? It seems that Hirata has agreed to take you in."

"Yeah, the people in your class are all a bunch of overly kind guys."

"Humph, it seems that you don't have a clear understanding of your situation." Horikita Suzune said with a cold look, "It seems that I need to warn you."

That attitude even surprised Hikigaya.
