Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

Hirata Yosuke showed a serious expression and looked at Ayanokouji and Koenji beside him: "Ayanokouji-san, Koenji-san, if you want to participate, you can come and listen."

"Ok."

Ayanokouji nodded silently to Hirata's words and walked over from a distance.

As there was no seat next to him, the other person quietly sat next to Hikigaya, making the latter very uncomfortable.

At the same time, after inviting Ayanokouji, Hirata took the initiative to invite Koenji: "If Koenji-san is also willing to participate, I will be very happy."

"Sorry, Hirata boy, I'm busy pursuing physical beauty right now."

Koenji rejected Hirata without hesitation because he was currently doing push-ups repeatedly in a handstand with his upper body naked.

Despite sweating profusely, he didn't look painful at all.

Is this guy really a high school student, no, is he really a human? That kind of action is simply not something that an ordinary person can do, right?

Hikigaya couldn't help but look confused.

"Alas, you are still unwilling to cooperate with everyone." Hirata shook his head, feeling somewhat helpless about Koenji's attitude. "But at least Koenji is willing to take the exam this time, which is considered an improvement. I think things will get better in the future."

"Is it?"

Hikigaya could not agree with Hirata Yosuke's optimism.

Hirata himself did not seem to have much hope for this idea, and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Actually, I received a call from two people in my class saying that they had become the preferential treatment recipients."

"Oh?"

Hikigaya and Ayanokouji both looked over curiously.

Although the former already knew that Kushida was a favored student of the Dragon Team, the identities of at least two other favored students in Class D remained a mystery, so he was still curious about who would be chosen.

"Who is it?"

Ayanokouji took the initiative to ask, and he was obviously more enthusiastic about the exam than Hikigaya.

"I can't say this. After all, they told me this because they trusted me."

"In that case, you might as well type it out on your phone or something so it doesn't get out to more people."

Ayanokouji spoke up to ease Hirata's worries.

After hearing what Ayanokouji said, Hirata nodded slightly: "Well, maybe that's okay. Although I don't think it will be eavesdropped, it's never too careful."

It was obvious that Hirata originally wanted to reveal the identity of the preferential treatment, so he specifically brought up this topic. Ayanokouji's words merely gave him an opportunity to speak.

So, Hirata turned on the screen of his mobile phone, typed the names of two people on it, and then displayed the phone.

"The Dragon Team is Kushida-san, and the Horse Team is Minami-san."

After Hirata displayed the text, he immediately deleted the content.

"..."

Neither Hikigaya nor Ayanokouji showed any reaction to this answer.

The former already knew half of it, so there was no particular surprise for him, while the latter always had a Sima face and had no expression at all.

"There should be no problem with the Dragon Team's current situation. Kushida seems to be very good at hiding his thoughts." Hirata took the lead in eliminating Kushida's problems.

"In fact, we in the Rabbit Team have discussed one thing, that is, the favored ones are likely to be evenly distributed among the classes." Ayanokouji said slowly, "In other words, there should be three people in Class D, and there is one favored one who doesn't reveal his true identity."

"Well, Ayanokouji, your idea is correct." Hirata nodded slightly, "Of course, that person may just not tell me, but he has discussed it with others, because the more people he tells, the higher the risk."

"That person might also want to keep the points for himself." Hikigaya took the initiative to put forward a dark thought, "If others know that I am the one who received the preferential treatment, I might be asked to hand over the points afterwards."

"This... is possible, but..."

Hirata Yosuke was obviously unwilling to think about his classmates from such a dark perspective, and his expression suddenly became very conflicted.

At this moment, after finishing his exercise, Koenji suddenly started humming cheerfully, and the noisy sound even affected the discussion here.

"Kōenji-san, if possible, could you please be quiet?" Hirata said stiffly, "And you won't quit the exam halfway like you did on the deserted island, right?"

"I wasn't in good health when we were on the deserted island, so I couldn't force myself."

“Is that so…”

Being able to say so openly that he was in poor health, Hikigaya often couldn't help but admire Koenji and even wanted to learn from him.

However, the hardware gap between the two meant that Hikigaya could never reach the level of Koenji.

After all, the other party is not only an all-rounder, but also the heir to a large chaebol. His status and abilities have been fully buffed, and even this school cannot restrain him.

After lying gracefully on the bed, Koenji suddenly shook his head and said, "But the exam will last for two more days. It's really troublesome."

"The exams given by the school are causing us trouble, and there is nothing we can do about it."

Ayanokouji disapproved of Koenji's lazy attitude, and seemed to hope that he would be more serious.

"Yeah, but there's really no point in continuing an exam that's not fun at all. It's just a simple guessing game to find the cheater."

After saying this, Koenji suddenly took out his cell phone and started doing something.

After a while, the mobile phones of the four people present all received a notification from the school at the same time.

"No way? Koenji-san you!"

Although he had expected it, Hirata Yosuke couldn't help but exclaim.

Hikigaya and Ayanokouji were equally surprised and took out their cell phones to open the incoming emails.

"——The Monkey Group's exam is over. Monkey Group students do not need to take the exam anymore. Please be careful and do not disturb other students."

A short text message, but with explosive news.

"I remember that you were in the Monkey Group, Koenji-san?"

"That's right, this way I can become a free person, hahaha."

Koenji laughed loudly, threw his phone away and left the dormitory, leaving everyone present looking at each other in bewilderment.

"This is really... Koenji-san has done something unexpected again."

"I guess the whole grade was frightened by him."

"I really envy him..."

Hirata, Ayanokouji, and Hikigaya each express their feelings about Koenji's behavior.

The three had different attitudes, but none of them had any complaints about Koenji's behavior, obviously having fully anticipated Koenji's character.

However, unlike the people in this dormitory, other people in Class D, and even students from other classes, did not expect that someone would do such an outrageous thing.

For a while, Hirata's phone kept ringing.

There were various commotions in the dormitories of other classes as well. Hikigaya even found that his cell phone was ringing. It turned out to be Horikita asking him about the situation.

"Alas, the situation seems to be very confusing. We can't discuss it at this rate. I'm going to go out and answer the phone first."

Hirata looked helpless and ended the discussion.

Ayanokouji then looked at Hikigaya hopefully, trying to continue the discussion with him.

But Hikigaya didn't want to stay in the same space with him, so he immediately said:

"Ahem, I'm going to the bathroom."

After leaving the room, Hikigaya wanted to go to the deck to get some fresh air to relieve his confused and envious mood.

There's no way around it. Although Koenji's unrestrained behavior was against the will of heaven, he did what Hikigaya wanted to do but couldn't.

Since the one who was favored by the Dragon Team was one of their own, Kushida, even if he didn't want to participate in the annoying discussion, he had to grit his teeth and continue.

Just as Hikigaya was on his way to the deck, he unexpectedly ran into Koenji who had come back to get something.

"Hey, Hikigaya-boy, are you still going out on a date this late?"

"Ahem...what did you say?"

He didn't expect that the other party would say something that made him unable to hold back. Hikigaya immediately showed a confused and questioning expression.

In response, Takazonoji smiled calmly and said, "The night before yesterday, several girls from other classes came to your dormitory to look for you. I was a little surprised. However, this also shows that your charm has been discovered by others a little bit... Just like what I said, diamonds will emit their due luster no matter where they are."

"I……"

Unexpectedly, that night, Ichinose, Shiina and Kamuro actually came to the dormitory to find him. While Hikigaya was scared, he also realized that he should keep as much distance as possible from others.

As a lone ranger, the most important thing is to be alone.

If he couldn't guarantee that he was alone, he would be faced with endless troubles, which would be a development he would definitely not be able to bear.

Chapter 370: Can’t these rebellious people in Class D just be quiet for a while?

Koenji Rokusuke is an extremely self-centered person.

If this description is applied to ordinary people, I am afraid that most people will feel that they are more or less innocent. After all, most people cannot escape the vicious circle of self-consciousness and will be self-centered without realizing it.

Hikigaya also has a strong and excessive sense of self, which from time to time causes him to do things that he later deeply regrets, and even to the point of wanting to commit suicide.

However, unlike most people, Koenji's greatest characteristic is that while he is self-centered, he does not care about any external evaluation.

No matter how exaggerated or infuriating his behavior is, Kouenji will not react to other people's comments. It can even be said that he completely ignores what others say.

Because of this character that completely disregards the people around him as human beings, Koenji is undoubtedly one of the most disliked people in the entire D class, and even in the entire first grade.

Students of the same grade generally think, "I don't want to be played by this person who only cares about his own convenience," so most of them avoid Koenji and don't try to admonish him for his behavior. Even Hirata, the nicest guy in Class D, and Ichinose, the nicest guy in Class B, are completely unable to deal with Koenji.

The most Hirata and Ichinose could do was to talk to Koenji, but they couldn't have a deeper conversation because they would be ignored or even treated casually by the other party.

Therefore, everyone finally reached a consensus that Kouenji was a poisonous man.

Anyone who comes into contact with him, whether friend or foe, will feel pain.

Hikigaya also didn't want to have too much to do with a troublesome guy like Koenji, so he said without hesitation: "I'm not as exaggerated as you say. Those girls took the initiative to find me just by coincidence. It's more likely that they have an attitude of doing business, which has nothing to do with charm or anything like that."

"Haha, is this how you see it, Hikigaya boy?" Koenji did not deny Hikigaya's words, "Although our identities and status are not equal, as schoolmates, or even roommates, I still don't want you to treat yourself so contemptuously. This will not only hurt yourself, but also the people around you."

"How could such a thing happen?"

Hikigaya smiled and shook his head. He was fully aware of his own existence and didn't think that his lonely and humble self would hurt anyone.

As for hurting himself, as a battle-hardened lone ranger, he no longer felt pain for anything.

"Haha, it seems that Hikigaya boy won't listen to my advice." Koenji waved his hand calmly, "But that's normal. As someone I admire who has a personality as shining as a diamond, Hikigaya boy, you are not likely to change your mind just because of a few simple words. If you can follow the path you believe in to the end, you may become more beautiful than you are now. I am really looking forward to how it will develop then, hahahaha."

Koenji spoke to himself, then turned around.

Hikigaya was completely confused. He felt as if he was playing an RPG game and suddenly encountered a neutral monster that did not distinguish between friend and foe. Apart from encountering a bunch of chaos out of nowhere, he gained nothing.

But since Koenji was willing to let him go, Hikigaya was somewhat relieved.

You know, many people who were entangled by Gao Yuanji died with their eyes open and couldn't breathe their last breath in pain.

Although this may sound a bit exaggerated, many first-year students have indeed suffered from Koenji's bullying.

Hikigaya is considered to be relatively lucky among them.

……

The endless starry sky comes into view.

In order to avoid being tortured by the weirdos in the dormitory, Hikigaya chose to go to the deck to get some fresh air and think about what to do next in the exam.

Although he himself didn't care about the results of the test, for him, this test was still not something that could be treated casually.

Whether it was the conflict between Kushida Kikyo and Horikita Suzune, or the fact that Karuizawa was suspected of being targeted by Ayanokouji, he had to be serious and take the exam on the cruise ship seriously.

However, before Hikigaya could come to the deck to start thinking, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have come to the wrong place.

Since most of the students have returned to the dormitory to rest, most of the people who appear on the cruise ship deck are couples who are out for a night rendezvous.

Although there were not many people, all the students present were pairs of men and women, holding hands, hugging shoulders, and looking up at the sea and the starry sky together.

Such a realistic environment undoubtedly dealt a strong blow to the otaku Hikigaya, making him feel inexplicably empty and wishing that these guys would explode on the spot.

But unfortunately, he neither had the Death Note nor was he a person with super powers, so he had no way to shake the space here at all.

So, Hikigaya turned around silently and decided to find a place where a quiet lone ranger should stay.

But before he could turn around and leave, he suddenly found a vaguely familiar figure appearing in front of him. The short hair and curvy figure made Hikigaya recognize the other person's identity instantly.

"Kushida?"
