Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

And it seemed that because the opening was too bad, even though the one-hour exam time had ended according to school rules, most of the members of the three classes did not leave, but still sat in their seats, wanting to struggle again.

However, when thinking about the strategy adopted by Class A, the people in other classes could not think of a way to counter such an absolute defensive strategy.

Faced with such a dire situation, Ichinose suddenly remembered something and looked at Hikigaya beside him.

"By the way, Hikigaya-san, you just said there is a way to win this exam, right? If Class A is unwilling to cooperate with us, is there really such a convenient strategy?"

Since Class A had already left, Ichinose no longer had to worry about the sound of her words, so her words were quickly heard by everyone present.

"Huh? Hikigaya-san, do you know how to pass the exam?" When Kushida heard Ichinose's words, he immediately looked over with an incredible expression.

Similarly, almost everyone present looked in the direction of Hikigaya, and instinctively placed the focus of the scene on Hikigaya.

After all, most people in this examination room knew that Hikigaya was special.

Needless to say, Class B, under the tireless propaganda of class leader Ichinose, has already developed a different attitude towards the dead-eye boy from Class D and realized that he is extraordinary.

Class C had already been badly betrayed by Hikigaya in the Ishizaki Daichi incident a long time ago, and had developed a genuine fear of him. Whenever they saw Hikigaya appear, they would unconsciously walk around him.

Although most people in Class D have a bad attitude towards Hikigaya, two people in the Dragon Team, Horikita Suzune and Kushida Kikyo, are aware of Hikigaya's specialness.

Therefore, the moment Ichinose finished speaking, everyone's eyes instinctively fell on Hikigaya.

"..."

On the other hand, Hikigaya, who had been only thinking about slacking off, did not expect that he would suddenly become the center of discussion and suddenly showed a helpless expression.

He had no idea when he had acquired such great appeal, and was truly a little overwhelmed.

"Haha, Dead Fish Eyes, do you already know the answer? I'm curious about what kind of strategy you can come up with when you have no sense of presence throughout this whole process. Tell us about it."

Ryuen Sho was the first to speak, and he looked arrogant, as if he was not confused at all by Class A's strategy, and he had an attitude of being able to handle it with ease.

Hikigaya did not hesitate to retort to Ryuen Sho who was deliberately disgusting him:

"That's annoying, Ryuen-kun. How can someone like me who has no sense of existence know such a method? Ichinose is just joking, you don't believe it, do you?"

"you……"

Hearing Hikigaya's tone that was deliberately disgusting to him, Ryuen Sho's face turned green with anger.

The thing he was apparently least adept at dealing with was Hikigaya's completely shameless personality, and for a moment he didn't even know how to respond.

At the same time, everyone at the scene once again deeply realized that Hikigaya was extraordinary. He was able to fight against Ryuen Sho and even disgust him.

Everyone's attention to Hikigaya increased again, and all eyes were fixed on him.

Ryuen Sho was clearly not one to suffer a loss, but before he could fight back, Shiina Hiyori looked over and said with a smile, "Haha, Ryuen-kun likes to joke around. He just said that Hikigaya-san has no sense of existence, but he was just joking. Please don't take it seriously. Right, Ryuen-kun?"

"..."

Unexpectedly, Shiina would speak up to support Hikigaya. Ryuuen was speechless for a moment. Finally, he sighed helplessly and swallowed his anger silently.

It is obvious that thanks to the uninhabited island exam, Shiina Hiyori has further gained the right to speak in Class C.

Now even Ryuen Sho has to give her some face and give up being aggressive at times.

Faced with this situation, Hikigaya could only sigh in his heart, "As expected of Miss Shiina, she is so terrifying," and slowly said, "Well, I was just joking."

"I know, Hikigaya-san."

Shiina Hiyori had an unchanging smile on her face, and her ambivalent look made it impossible to tell whether she was responding seriously or just being perfunctory.

But there is no doubt that after Shiina spoke, Ryuen Sho, who had the greatest impact on the atmosphere, successfully fell silent and no longer spoke to interfere with the conversation.

As for the others, whether they were from Class B or Class D, it was obvious that they had no intention of affecting Hikigaya's plans, and they left the entire stage to him.

Faced with this situation, Hikigaya knew that he had no chance of retreating, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Well, how can we win this exam when Class A refuses to cooperate? The method is actually very simple - as long as everyone present shares the status of the favored students of each class."

"what?"

Hikigaya's seemingly casual words were like a bomb, causing a huge sensation at the scene.

Except for a few people, most people at the scene did not expect him to make such an overly explosive proposal, and expressions of incomprehension appeared on their faces.

"Are you kidding me?" The first person to react was Horikita Suzune. She was undoubtedly the one who could not understand Hikigaya's proposal the most. She said with a complicated expression, "Sharing the information of the preferential treatment recipients is almost the same as giving up the exam. No, it's even worse than giving up the exam!"

"Yes, but this is the best way to pass the exam, even better than Katsuragi's method." Hikigaya ignored Horikita's rebuttal and said calmly, "After all, whether it was when the rules were explained yesterday or the text message sent to the preferential recipients today, they all intentionally or unintentionally revealed a message, that is, there are certain rules for the identities of the preferential recipients."

"As long as the three classes present each confirm the identity of the preferential treatment in their class and then disclose it to each other, we can find out the pattern of the school's preferential treatment. At that time, even if Class A does not cooperate with us and start a discussion, we can easily find out the identity of Class A's preferential treatment and deal a fatal blow to Class A."

Hikigaya's proposal was even more outrageous than expected.

But everyone can also understand the huge benefits this plan will generate.

Since Class A has given up on cooperation and has decided not to discuss the issue, the other three classes could unite and work together to find out who is favoring Class A, which could deal a heavy blow to Class A before it has time to react.

If the identities of the four favored students in Class A are discovered, Class A will lose 200 class points, making it impossible for them to turn the tables.

It can be said to be a truly vicious plot.

If Katsuragi Kohei's plan was to do whatever it took to preserve himself without gaining any results or suffering any losses, then Hikigaya's plan was to hurt the enemy by a thousand and lose eight hundred of his own, a true mutual destruction.

This can be regarded as a plus version of Hikigaya's usual self-destruction strategy.

Chapter 362: I Want to Cooperate with Hikigaya, Not with Class D

"This seems like a pretty bold idea, but can it really be done?" Ichinose immediately expressed his doubts about Hikigaya's proposal. "Let's not talk about getting information about the preferential treatment in the class. Is this something that can be done? Finding out the rules of the school's preferential treatment is not an easy task either."

In response to Hikigaya's proposal, Ichinose raised two questions to refute it.

Hikigaya calmly said, "I just put forward my idea. Whether to implement it or not is up to you class leaders to decide. As for finding the hidden favored people in the class, this may be a relatively difficult task in D class, but it should not be impossible in B and C classes."

Hikigaya said, glancing at Ryuen Sho in the distance.

Because of Shiina's remarks just now, Ryuen was more cooperative at the moment, and said calmly: "Humph, of course Class C can do this kind of thing. After all, before the text message came, I had already confiscated all the mobile phones in the class and confirmed the identities of all the preferential treatment in the class."

"This……"

Ryuen Sho's domineering and crazy behavior instantly surprised the students in Class B and Class D. They did not expect that the other party would be so dictatorial within the class.

And Ichinose, after hesitating, also spoke silently: "If it is Class B, it shouldn't be difficult to find out the identity of the class's preferential treatment."

Although Ichinose is not as dictatorial as Ryuen Sho, who would confiscate all the cell phones in the class, she also has her own advantage, which is that she has gained the trust of almost everyone in the class.

As long as Ichinose tells Class B that he wishes to know the identity of the person being treated favorably in private, everyone in the class will surely tell them the identity of the person being treated favorably.

This leaves Class D as the only problem.

"This……"

When Horikita Suzune noticed that everyone was looking at her, her expression suddenly turned ugly.

Although on the surface, she is the representative of Class D here, but she herself does not actually have the ability to master all the information of Class D, let alone find out all the preferential treatment recipients in Class D.

Even if Hikigaya's plan could actually be realized, it was obvious that Class D was incapable of participating in such an operation and lacked the ability to provide intelligence on the favored.

"Haha, it seems that only our C and B classes can participate in this plan."

Seeing this, Long Yuanxiang sneered calmly, his attitude still arrogant and proud.

Horikita Suzune was very hurt by his mocking attitude, but she couldn't make any rebuttal.

Facing such a Ryuen, Ichinose immediately spoke: "Wait a minute, although I can obtain the information of the favored class, it does not mean that I must cooperate with your C class."

"Really? Are you going to just give up and watch Class A gain the biggest advantage?"

"..."

Ryuen Sho's sharp words made Ichinose fall silent.

For a moment, she didn't know whether to cooperate with Ryuen Sho. In the end, she even looked at Hikigaya, instinctively seeking answers from him.

Unexpectedly, Ichinose would choose to rely on him. In the midst of confusion, Hikigaya quickly said, "This is a choice that concerns the future of your Class B. You, as the leader of Class B, should make the decision yourself and bear the corresponding consequences for this choice."

"I understand."

After hearing what Hikigaya said, Ichinose Honami, who was a little shaken at first, took a deep breath.

She then looked firmly at Ryuen Sho and replied, "I'm sorry, but I don't intend to cooperate with you Class C on this level."

"Haha, so you just rejected me?" Ryuen didn't seem surprised by Ichinose's choice. "Of course you can't trust me, so how about this? I am willing to sign a contract with your Class C to ensure the fairness of this matter and that I won't betray you. With the school's consideration of the contract, you can trust my credit. In this way, the arrogant Katsuragi and Class A will both suffer a heavy blow. How do you think?"

Ryuen Sho proposes signing a contract in an attempt to gain Ichinose's trust.

But his words were quickly refuted by Ichinose.

"I remember that when we were on the deserted island, Ryuen-san and Katsuragi-san signed a contract in private, right? At that time, you screwed Katsuragi-san so badly that Class A even became zero point."

When Ichinose brought up the Katsuragi incident as an example, Ryuen Sho nonchalantly passed the buck and said, "Haha, although that incident was caused by me, the reason why Class A lost so badly was largely due to that dead fish eye."

Hey, why are you talking about me again?!

Hikigaya didn't expect the topic to turn to himself, and his expression was confused.

The most important thing was that he could feel that Horikita and Kushida's eyes were fixed on him, and it was obvious that they still hadn't gotten over the outcome of the uninhabited island.

At the same time, Ichinose did not accept Ryuen's explanation:

"Hasn't Ryuen heard the story of the boy who cried wolf? Since you cheated Katsuragi once, there's no reason why you wouldn't cheat me. This makes it hard for me to trust your credibility."

"Tsk, it looks like there's no hope?"

Long Yuan waved his hand with a bored look on his face, as if he had not expected that the cooperation would go bankrupt because of his credit crisis.

However, Shiina Hiyori sat calmly beside him from beginning to end, as if he had already seen this outcome.

If it was Hikigaya who proposed the decision to cooperate, perhaps cooperation among the three classes could have been achieved, but unfortunately, Hikigaya himself had no intention of participating in class struggles, and given the miserable situation of Class D, it was impossible for them to participate in this cooperation from the beginning.

Therefore, when the two parties left were Ryuen Sho and Ichinose, it was natural for Ichinose to reject Ryuen's request for cooperation.

Finally, Ichinose announced in a calm tone: "I'm sorry, Ryuen-san, I can't establish cooperation with Class C, and I don't intend to announce the identity of the class's preferential treatment."

"I see. That's a pity."

Although he said this, Ryuen Sho did not show any regrets on his face.

He just stood up silently and prepared to leave the room.

Shiina originally wanted to stay, but seeing the gaze Ryuuen was giving her, she could only turn around regretfully and said slowly: "See you next time, Hikigaya-san."

"oh oh."

Watching Shiina leave, Hikigaya slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s not that he hates Shiina. In fact, he has always liked the feeling of getting along with Shiina. It’s just that his pride as a lone ranger would play tricks on him from time to time, making him instinctively want to keep a distance from the other party.

The reason why he wanted Shiina Hiyori to leave now was mainly because the gazes of the many women present were directed at him, which was really glaring.

"Ah, I almost have to leave because I'm asked out by a friend."

Kushida suddenly apologized and left the room anxiously.

Before she left, she looked at Hikigaya deeply, with a complicated look in her expression. In the end, she forced her eyes away and strode out of the classroom.

The students in Class B no longer had any plans to stay and left one after another.

The only ones left at the scene were Hikigaya, Horikita Suzune, and Ichinose Honami.

"Huh - I didn't expect this exam to be so complicated, ahaha."

Although Ichinose looked helpless, his attitude was still quite relaxed.

"Both Katsuragi and Ryuen are not easy to deal with."

"Compared to that, Ryuen-san is more dangerous. Although his name has the word 'dragon' in it, he is actually a snake. I can feel his determination to bite down on his prey once he finds it." Ichinose said, while looking at Horikita Suzune, "And compared to me right now, Horikita-san, you guys should be having a harder time, right? If you still can't grasp the class situation, this exam will be very difficult."

"..."

Horikita couldn't refute Ichinose's words.

Class D has too many problems, and many of them are beyond the scope of the exam. Not to mention participating in class competition, it is even a question whether they can pass the exam safely.

Of course, Hikigaya didn't care about this at all. He had always had an attitude towards Class D that he didn't want to bother with.

However, Ichinose didn't seem to know this. After making sure that there was no one around, she suddenly looked at Hikigaya seriously: "Hikigaya-san, and Horikita-san, now that everyone else has left, I want to confirm one thing... Do you want to have a cross-class cooperation in this exam?"

"Ichinose, do you want to cooperate with Class D?"

Horikita was shocked by Ichinose's words. She didn't expect that the other party would have such thoughts.

Ichinose kept smiling and said calmly, "I actually have some ideas about the proposal that Hikigaya-san just put forward. Although I don't want to cooperate with Ryuen Sho, if the partner is Hikigaya-san, I might agree to it!"
