Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

In his heart, he wished that this class would die quickly and fall into hell completely.

With this in mind, Hikigaya quietly bypassed the most chaotic area of ​​Class D. He wanted to continue enjoying the cool breeze outside and find time to have dinner later, but he didn't expect to see two unexpected figures on the dim deck.

"Hikigaya?"

Ayanokouji and Chabashi Sae both cast their eyes over.

They seemed to be talking about something here just now, and just as they were about to part, they happened to witness Hikigaya's arrival.

"Then I'll go first."

Ayanokouji saw the right opportunity and left decisively, showing his speed, accuracy and ruthlessness.

Hikigaya was so stunned that he had no time to react.

Just when Hikigaya wanted to follow suit and run away, Chabashira Sae looked straight at him and said coldly: "Do you think you can get away?"

"What kind of villain line is this? I didn't do anything bad..."

"What do you think?" Chabashira Sae looked at him coldly and asked with a dissatisfied expression, "Why did you reveal your identity as a leader?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Are you still pretending in front of me?"

Chabashira Sae made it clear that he would not be deceived by Hikigaya's reaction, and said coldly: "Only a few people know about the change of the leader of Class D, and the key card is only in your hands. If you hadn't taken the initiative to leak the information, other classes would not have known who the leader of Class D was."

"I see. You are here to hold me accountable?"

"I just want to know what you want to do."

Hikigaya sighed at Chabashi Sae's cold look that seemed unable to accept reality.

Finally, he gave up his unnecessary disguise and said honestly, "There is only one thing I want to do. I told you a long time ago, I just want to go home to visit my sister, that's all."

Chapter 326: Hikigaya and Ayanokouji, who will be the final winner?

"I just want to go home to visit my sister, that's all."

When he first entered school, Hikigaya had a brief exchange with Class D's homeroom teacher, Chabashira Sae.

Looking back, that was their first and almost last private contact.

It was also during that conversation that Hikigaya Hachiman and Chabashira Sae established a certain degree of mutual understanding and a basic cooperative relationship.

However, the only one who has recognized this partnership has always been Chabashira Sae himself.

After attending school for a while and seeing the diversity of species in Class D, Hikigaya gave up caring about the situation in Class D and started doing whatever he wanted.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter where you earn points, right?

As long as you are willing to pay more, you can sell it out even if it is your own class.

This was also the reason why he went to Long Yuan privately and bought out the identity of the class leader along with the information on changing the leader.

Each first-grade class has at least 30 members.

Everyone in Class C will give Hikigaya 20000 points every month, which is 60 points a month, 720 million points a year, and 2160 million points in three years.

Adding on the 560 million that Class C already owed Hikigaya, if he took into account his future wealth, he would already have a huge sum of 2720 million, which was enough for him to jump directly from Class D to Class A.

In this situation, how could Hikigaya still care about the class points of Class D?

Even if this class worked hard to earn a few hundred class points, by the time tens of thousands of individual points were issued, I'm afraid they would have starved to death.

Hikigaya would never do something so inefficient.

"Visiting my sister..."

On the other hand, after hearing what Hikigaya said, Chabashi Sae almost instantly understood the other party's thoughts and understood the true nature of Hikigaya Hachiman.

She sighed deeply at this, as if lamenting her own naivety for ever thinking that such a guy would voluntarily help Class D.

But Chabashira Sae didn't think he was completely wrong.

She still believes that Hikigaya has such potential.

The other party should be a kinder, more simple person who completely goes against the concept of strength supremacy but has a special individual who transcends the concept.

After all, Hikigaya Hachiman and Ayanokouji Seirei are completely different.

Although the two seem very similar and their methods of doing things are similar, their starting points have nothing in common at all; they are two completely different things.

After realizing this, Chabashira Sae took a deep breath and looked at Hikigaya: "Although you said so, you actually helped Class D, didn't you?"

"This……"

Hikigaya didn't expect Chabashi Sae to say such a thing. He was expecting the other party to criticize him and showed a surprised expression.

After all, he thought Chabashi Sae would be even more angry about his behavior, or even criticize him actively.

But the other party didn't seem to be angry about his behavior of betraying the class.

Is it just a disguise?

Or……

"Hikigaya, I don't think your behavior is a mistake." Chabashira Sae leaned his back against the deck railing, then raised his face and stared at the sky. "You are right. I even want to approve of your behavior."

"Do you approve of my actions?"

"Yes, the nature of human beings is selfish. Seeking profit is the instinct of every individual. If there is a greater benefit in front of them, most people will choose that greater benefit without hesitation and give up those insignificant family ties, friendships, and even love in front of them."

"..."

Chabashira Sae suddenly said something that would sound incomprehensible to most people.

However, Hikigaya did not find Chabashira's words incomprehensible at all. Instead, he realized that this homeroom teacher was indeed not a simple person as he had thought.

"Are you reminding me not to put profit above all else?"

"No, I didn't think of reminding you, and I don't have the right to remind you." Chabashira Sae shook his head, "Because you have never been that kind of person, right? Hikigaya Hachiman, you are different from Ayanokouji, Horikita Suzune, and even Kushida and Hirata. You are not the kind of extremely selfish and cold person who lives only for yourself."

"..."

Chabashira Sae said something that made Hikigaya fall silent.

In a sense, the other person's words directly spoke to the most essential part of him, the part of his personality that he could not refute no matter what.

Hikigaya cannot adapt to this school that advocates strength over everything because he has never been an individual who agrees with strength over everything from the beginning. He will not hesitate to sacrifice others for his own goals and treat individuals other than himself as pawns to be controlled.

Because of this, he would always avoid class struggles and even deliberately exclude everything related to class struggles, until he could no longer find a reason to escape, and then he would have to choose to get involved.

"Hikigaya, I've been keeping an eye on you since before school started."

"Peeping, is this considered peeping? I didn't expect you, teacher, to be a stalker!"

"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in a kid like you who hasn't even grown all his hair yet."

"How do you know that I haven't found all the hairs yet? Could it be..."

Suddenly, a cool breeze blew across the scene.

Hikigaya suddenly felt a terrifying aura coming towards him.

For this, he quickly apologized:

"I'm sorry, I didn't say anything."

"Your character is as bad as your dead fish eyes."

“That’s often said.”

Hikigaya said as he thought back to his junior high school days.

At that time, his best friend, the homeroom teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka, was often angered by his words.

However, compared to Chabashi Sae, Hiratsuka Shizuka often shows no mercy and will use the most violent means to punish him directly.

This is exactly the same as Horikita Suzune...

So why am I always involved with such violent women?

"Anyway, I still have expectations for you, Hikigaya." Chabashira Sae slowly corrected the topic, "You are different from the others. Compared to those who have been completely blinded by the supremacy of strength and immersed in fighting and killing each other, you are not at all intoxicated by the rules set by the school, so you can make more sober decisions."

"At the same time, you are not someone like Koenji who only cares about himself and does whatever he wants for his own pleasure. You always focus on people other than yourself, and sometimes even ignore yourself. This is your biggest shortcoming... Of course, let's not talk about this for now. What I mean is that I think you are still the one who has the greatest chance of changing Class D, and even changing this school."

"Because from the beginning to the end, you are the worst outlier who doesn't fit in in this school where strength is everything."

"..."

After listening to Chabashira Sae's long speech, Hikigaya was moved in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm, "I'm not as powerful as you say. I'm just a dead fish eye at the bottom of the class."

"You might as well continue to be humble if you don't want to regret it sooner or later."

"What do you mean?"

"Unlike you, Ayanokouji has already taken action, and his personality and the methods he adopts are completely different from yours." Chabashira Sae said quietly in a calm tone, "I know that people like you don't care about your own safety, but one day, you will realize what real pain is for you."

"Is this what you wanted to say..."

"That's all my advice."

After Chabashi Sae finished speaking, he turned around and left without mercy.

She had said everything she needed to say, and all that was left was to let things develop on their own and see how it all turned out.

A long time ago, Chabashira Sae had investigated everyone in Class D regarding their situation.

In the end, she found the two people who had the greatest potential to change this class, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka and Hikigaya Hachiman.

At the beginning, she was excited about her discovery. She didn't expect that two such special talents would emerge in Class D this year.

Their excellence is no longer limited by grade or even school, and it is possible for them to achieve things beyond everyone's imagination.

But the bad thing is that the styles of these two people are completely different, even opposite.

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka is extremely selfish. His individualism overrides everything else. His approach is to turn everything into chess pieces and make use of everything he can.

Hikigaya Hachiman ignores himself. It seems that his eyes can accommodate everything except himself. Everything he does even makes people confuse whether what he pursues is just endless emptiness.

When it was confirmed that these two diametrically opposite excellent individuals were gathered in the same class, Chabashi Sae calmed down from his excitement and realized that Class D would not get better because of the existence of the two of them, but might fall into the abyss because of the struggle.

Therefore, Chabashira Saeda's original idea was to mediate the conflict between the two as much as possible, so that Ayanokouji and Hikigaya could jointly improve the class without opposing each other as much as possible.

However, reality taught her cruelly that all this was impossible.

Even though these two people have completely different personalities and appear to behave in similar ways, the conflict that ultimately arises is absolutely impossible for them to accommodate each other.

After realizing this, Chabashi Sae gave up his original plan and realized what he really had to do as the head teacher of Class D.

While leading the two people forward, let them collide.

No matter how the process develops, no matter who is the final winner, she, as the class teacher, will not manage it, nor does she have the ability to manage it.

Only the final result will reveal who the real winner is.

Therefore, Chabashi Sae threatened Ayanokouji with expulsion from school to force Ayanokouji to take action, but gave up using a similar method when facing Hikigaya.

Because she knew that even if she threatened Hikigaya to drop out of school, threatened Hikigaya not to go back to visit his sister, etc., it would not be possible to make this man with those rotten dead fish eyes take action.

What really made Hikigaya take action could only be the anger that arose in his heart at that moment when something he valued was trampled upon.

"If it is fate that has given Class D this trial, then I will accept it."

"Whether it is Ayanokouji's victory, who represents the supremacy of strength, or Hikigaya's victory, who represents the supremacy of strength and even the opposite, let me witness the development of this story with my own eyes."

Chapter 327: Does Hikigaya-san care more about Ryuuen-kun than me?

Chabashira Sae said something to himself that seemed to make no sense.

In a sense, this was beyond Hikigaya's expectations.

After all, before talking to the other party, he had actually speculated about the possible developments when he met Chabashi Sae again.

He originally imagined that Chabashi Sae would be very dissatisfied with his betrayal of the class, and might even be very angry.
