Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

Horikita Suzune didn't care about other people's attitudes and said calmly: "In the end, it was me. I was sick, but I kept it a secret, which led to the bad consequence of the key card being stolen. Later, I was forced to leave the game and was deducted an additional 30 points. I am also to blame for this matter and need to accept the punishment of surrendering points."

Horikita Suzune's words completely silenced the people in Class D.

The girls have completely been convinced by the impartial Horikita Suzune and are unwilling to come forward and provoke any hatred at this time.

The boys did not hide their admiration at all and expressed their approval of Horikita Suzune.

"Hey, who will keep the points that are handed in?" Chi Kuanzhi suddenly asked curiously, "If all the points that the girls received as punishment are handed in, it will be a huge amount of points, right? Who will keep these points?"

"I have an idea about how to use the points that are turned in."

Horikita Suzune suddenly spoke, and this made both Kushida and Hirata look surprised, as it was obvious that they had not discussed this matter in advance.

Horikita Suzune calmly said, "Since we have just stipulated the punishment measures, we should also add reward measures. If someone earns a lot of class points for the class, they should also receive points as a reward. This is fair."

"That's exactly what it should be."

After hearing what Horikita said, neither the boys nor the girls had an attitude of refuting, and their emotions were even aroused a little bit.

This is exactly the role of the reward and punishment system, which can greatly motivate human enthusiasm.

If there is no reward and punishment system, most people will undoubtedly choose to give up, and few people will take the initiative to contribute to the collective.

When Horikita Suzune saw that no one objected, she immediately spoke:

"Regarding the uninhabited island exam, I personally judge that two members of our class should receive rewards."

"The first one is Kushida Kikyo, who found the leader of Class A. She helped our class keep 50 personal points and didn't fall into the worst situation. The second one is Ike Kanji, who led the class to save a lot of points. His knowledge of the wild prevented us from wasting precious resources."

"So, I personally propose that they each be awarded 20000 personal points, which will be deducted from the points collected. The remaining personal points will be kept by Kushida Kikyo-san. She should be the one with the least objections, right?"

Horikita Suzune's words immediately caused a sensation among all the members of Class D.

But most people had no problem with her words.

After all, every word that Horikita Suzune said was based on fairness and rationality. If someone raised an opinion at this time, they might be regarded as heretics.

Among all the people in Class D, Ike Kanji was obviously the most surprised by this result. He never expected that he would be rewarded, and a confused expression appeared on his face for a moment.

"Am I really qualified to receive the reward?"

In response to the confused Ike Kanji, Horikita Suzune said calmly: "This is my own judgment. As far as the last exam is concerned, you did very well."

"Thank you, thank you."

Hearing Horikita Suzune's words, Ike Kanji showed joy from the bottom of his heart. It was the first time that he was recognized in this way. He even stopped showing his previous playful look.

"Well done, Kanji." Sudo Ken was the first to happily offer his blessings to his friend.

"Tsk, I can do such a small thing." Although Yamauchi is also a friend of the three idiots, he seems a little jealous for some reason.

At the same time, Kushida Kikyo looked at Horikita Suzune with a complicated expression. Not only did she not feel happy, but there was an indescribable emotion on her face.

"Horikita-san is amazing."

Without anyone noticing, Kushida Kikyo quietly came to Hikigaya's side and said, "You are so straightforward and honest, it makes me want to vomit."

Chapter 345: The special exam on the cruise ship begins!

"..."

Facing Kushida Kikyo's sudden approach and confession of the truth, Hikigaya nodded casually, "Yes, Horikita Suzune is indeed a very powerful person."

As the first person Hikigaya met after arriving at this school, Horikita Suzune can be said to be the person Hikigaya knows best in this school where strength is everything.

Similar to Hikigaya, he is also a loner who has no friends and refuses any social activities.

However, compared to Hikigaya, who was isolated from others since childhood and forced to become a lone ranger, Horikita voluntarily chose to give up the lonely path of socializing.

The reason why this can be done is because the other party has strong abilities.

Not only is he a gifted student with both literary and martial skills, but he also has an outstanding appearance, which naturally wins the favor of others.

Even if he gave up the thorny path of being a lone ranger right now, he would be immediately accepted by others and integrated seamlessly into the social group.

However, it is clear that Horikita Suzune has become accustomed to being a lone ranger.

Her arrogant personality that makes her unwilling to get involved with anyone, and her strong attitude that she often adopts because she is not good at getting along with others, make it difficult for her to be accepted by others all of a sudden.

But even so, Horikita Suzune's talents are genuine, especially in today's Class D, where she possesses qualifications that no one else has.

It's only natural that Kushida Kikyo would express such feelings of 'envy, jealousy and hatred'.

"I really do hate her." Upon hearing Hikigaya's agreement, Kushida's face suddenly showed obvious desolation. "Whether it's her strengths or weaknesses, she never makes any false pretenses. She always has a consistent attitude, which is completely different from people like me, or the exact opposite."

"Are you ashamed of your own hypocrisy?"

Hikigaya turned to look at Kushida Kikyo and suddenly asked a sharp question.

"That's not the case." Kushida answered hesitantly, "It's just that sometimes I wonder, if I were like Horikita, would I be completely different from now..."

"It should be different." Hikigaya shook his head. "But it's impossible for you to become Horikita. You have different abilities and different personalities. If you try to imitate other people's way of life, you will only end up making things worse. Although your own way of life is ugly, it may be the most suitable for you."

"..."

Hikigaya's words left Kushida Kikyo in silence for a long time.

The latter seemed to be constantly pondering what the other person said, and after a long time he murmured to himself: "Hikigaya-san, don't you think that my hypocritical attitude is wrong?"

"Why would I feel that I'm wrong?" Hikigaya smiled. "Not to mention that my own way of living is already quite ugly, so I have no right to make any comments on other people. What's more, I don't think there is any difference between ways of living. It doesn't matter if you live hypocritically or sincerely, as long as you live seriously, there is no reason to be criticized by others."

As a lone ranger, Hikigaya cared the least about other people's eyes, and he didn't think there was any need to care about other people's eyes.

After all, survival is an extremely difficult thing. Since you have already tried your best, there is no need to let others judge you. Just believe firmly in the path you are taking.

"And most people are hypocritical, myself included." Hikigaya continued, "Not only do I lie all the time, but I tell lies beautifully, elegantly, clearly, and proudly, as if every day is good, every year is good, it's like a dream, and it ends in perfection!"

After saying a long string of jingles in one breath, Hikigaya calmly concluded: "So, hypocrisy is not the problem. The problem is the one who cannot accept others being hypocritical and insists that they cannot be hypocritical."

Hikigaya finished expressing his thoughts silently. Everything he said came from his heart, so there was no pause at all and his speech was extremely smooth.

But after he finished speaking, he realized that his performance seemed a little bad.

After all, telling others so openly that "a hypocritical attitude is also justice" is indeed too bad and antisocial.

Kushida won't report himself to PTA, right?

Thinking of this, he looked at Kushida beside him nervously, but found that the other party was silently lowering his head and falling into silence without saying a word.

Just when Hikigaya was worried that Kushida would have a bad impression of him, Kushida Kikyo suddenly raised her head and looked at him with strange eyes.

"You really are an incredible person, Hikigaya-san."

"No, no, I'm just an unpopular dead fish eye."

Hikigaya denied Kushida's words. He had a clear understanding of himself and would not misunderstand his own nature because of what others said.

Kushida did not force anything, and said quietly: "I am increasingly aware that you are different, Hikigaya-san. You know my true identity, but you are still able to talk to me in such a calm manner. If it were you, perhaps I could also..."

"Kushida, you're here!"

Before Kushida could finish her words that seemed to reveal her true feelings, suddenly, a group of girls from Class D came over from a distance and surrounded her.

"Horikita said that the points will be handed over to you. If it's Kushida, we're willing to believe you."

"Yes, yes, it seems we did make a mistake this time. We won't make the same mistake again."

"If the points are awarded to you, Kushida-san, that's totally fine. After all, you helped us all a lot on the uninhabited island."

"..."

All of a sudden, the girls crowded around Kushida, their enthusiastic attitude completely different from their previous gloomy look.

There was no doubt that Hikigaya could not adapt to this kind of occasion, so he immediately reduced his presence and left quietly.

But before he left, Horikita Suzune just happened to come to his side. The girl looked at Kushida Kikyo who was surrounded by many girls with a complicated expression, and murmured: "She is really amazing, Kushida."

"No way, you're coming too?"

Hikigaya couldn't hold back after hearing Horikita Suzune's words which were full of a sense of déjà vu.

But when Hikigaya suspected that the other party would also complain to him like Kushida, Horikita said with a look of disgust: "What are you talking about? Did your brain just get caught in the door?!"

"Uh……"

Well, it turns out that Horikita Suzune, this sharp-tongued guy, can't be as fragile as Kushida.

The other party must be praising Kushida Kikyo from the bottom of his heart and expressing his admiration for her strong appeal.

In fact, just as he thought, Horikita Suzune spoke from the bottom of her heart: "Kusida-san is really amazing. Without her influence, it would be difficult for the class to accept the proposal I proposed so easily."

"That's true."

Although the students in Class D are a group of incompetent guys, they are very good at infighting.

If someone with strong cohesion like Kikyo Kushida hadn't come forward, this group of people would never be able to take action as Horikita wanted.

Of course, from Hikigaya's perspective, he knew from the beginning that this matter could only be accomplished if Kushida and Horikita worked together.

If it weren't for Horikita Suzune, who was cold enough to make everyone believe that she would be fair and just, and Kushida Kikyo, who had a huge influence in Class D and was trusted by most of the class, the plan he had conceived would never have been accepted by anyone.

At this moment, the girls in Class D quickly handed in their points and apologized to the boys for their wrong behavior on the uninhabited island.

The boys were secretly happy, but on the surface, for the sake of class harmony, they still acted like "big guys don't bear grudges."

In addition, Horikita Suzune, Hirata Yosuke, Karuizawa Megumi, and Shinohara Satsuki were also asked to hand in their points for next month as punishment for the mistakes they made on the uninhabited island.

No one objected.

Everything is going in the right direction.

The only not-so-good thing might be that Kouenji Rokusuke did not attend the internal rectification meeting of Class D, which cast a shadow on the unity of this class.

After all, Koenji's early exit from the uninhabited island was not without consequences, as he also caused the class to lose 30 points.

But at the moment, the other party did not accept any punishment. This was undoubtedly an act of blatantly challenging the new class order, and it also caused a crack in the already fragile order of Class D.

If someone brings up the matter of Koenji and wants to refute the reward and punishment mechanism established by Horikita and others, I am afraid that Horikita and others will not be able to make any effective counterattack.

Fortunately, Koenji was too eccentric, and was the most special person in the class. Most people didn't want to mention him at all, so even though he didn't attend the meeting this time and escaped punishment, most people in Class D didn't complain about it.

However, as long as Koenji's problem is not resolved, Class D will never be able to achieve true unity, and it will be a castle in the air.

When everything was over, Hikigaya was about to go back to his room to rest, but he saw Kushida Kikyo running over from a distance, smiling and saying, "Hikigaya-san, I have an appointment with the girls from Class C to play together today, do you want to come too?"

"I definitely won't come!"

Are you deliberately trying to disgust me by asking such a knowing question?

And why Class C?

You don't know Shiina, do you?

"Humph, I think it's a good idea for you to participate in such activities." Seeing this, Horikita next to him couldn't help but sneer, "Maybe it can make your dead fish eyes look less ugly."

"Are you dissatisfied with my dead fish eyes?!"

Hikigaya looked helpless.

Kushida, who was standing next to them, saw the interaction between the two and smiled. He was about to speak, but the next second, the vibration of a cell phone suddenly rang out from everyone's pocket.

A sharp, high-pitched sound. This is the instruction from the school. It is the ringtone of the email sent to all students when there is a change in activities.

Even if the phone is in anti-harassment mode, it will be forced to make a sound.

This shows how important it is.

"What could it be?"

Kushida stopped and felt strange.

This is no wonder. The school has never sent this kind of special email before. It was sent suddenly now, which can be said to have shocked many students.

At the same time, the sound of broadcasting was heard inside the ship.

"We would like to inform all students that the school has just sent an email with contact information to all students. Please check your mobile phone and follow the instructions. In addition, if you have not received the email, please report it to the nearest faculty member. The content is very important, so please do not miss any confirmation."

"Repeat it once more—"
