Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

Hikigaya gave an answer that did not satisfy Kushida.

The latter undoubtedly hoped that the other party would help him to fight against Horikita under any circumstances.

But Hikigaya knew that he was not that kind of person. He would not help someone do something that he knew was wrong and move him in the wrong direction.

After all, if the direction is wrong, the further you move forward, the further away you will be from the goal you really want to reach!

"In that case...I at least hope you won't become my enemy."

Kushida uttered words that sounded almost like a plea.

From this, it can be seen that the opponent still has no intention of defeating Horikita Suzune in a fair and square manner.

The inferiority complex in the other party still exists, and Kushida still does not think that she has the ability to defeat Horikita.

And this is indeed true in a sense.

It is precisely because he is pursuing a goal that cannot be achieved by his own ability that Kushida falls into such distress and even makes a choice that he knows is wrong.

"I won't be your enemy, Kushida, as long as you don't take the initiative to deal with me."

Hikigaya gave Kushida psychological reassurance, and in fact he had no intention of becoming an enemy of Kushida Kikyo.

If possible, he actually didn't want to be an enemy of anyone in this school. Behaviors that purely brought trouble to himself were what Hikigaya hated the most.

"Well, that's enough. Thank you, Hikigaya." Hearing Hikigaya's words, Kushida showed a nervous smile on his face and waved his hand a little unnaturally, "Well...see you tomorrow."

"Oh...oh, see you tomorrow."

Hikigaya didn't expect Kushida to react like this, so he nodded.

Then, the elevator door closed and the girl disappeared in front of him.

In the empty corridor, everything fell back into the lonely environment with Hikigaya being the only one left, and there was no more extraneous smell in the air.

Faced with this situation, Hikigaya honestly felt relieved.

After all, for a lone ranger, being alone is always the time when he feels most at ease.

……

Time has come to the last day of the exam.

Unlike the complex development on the uninhabited island, the content of the cruise ship exam was in a sense quite small. In addition, Class A collectively played badly and fell into silence. Most students didn't even feel the exam atmosphere. This tinking-level exam was already nearing its end.

Before the end of the last exam, Hikigaya met Ryuen Sho and Ichinose again.

This time, the three parties signed their own contracts and disclosed all the information about the beneficiaries that they knew to each other.

When Ryuen Sho heard Hikigaya say, "Kushida Kikyo is the favored student of Class D," his expression was quite interesting.

Even though the other party knew that Hikigaya had deliberately lied to him before, Ryuuen still felt uncomfortable when he heard such a blatant lie.

If the school rules did not forbid it, he would have wanted to beat up Hikigaya for lying without thinking.

But no matter what Long Yuan himself thought, the signing of the contract had become a foregone conclusion.

At this point, Ryuen Sho himself successfully obtained the preferential treatment information of the three classes and was able to thoroughly confirm the preferential treatment setting rules for this exam.

At the same time, Ichinose of Class B was able to avoid the attack from Ryuuen, and Class B no longer had to worry about being attacked by Class C.

Hikigaya also helped Class D obtain 15000 points of income per person in Class C per month. Although it was actually 20000 points, Hikigaya greedily took away 5000 points.

Therefore, including the uninhabited island, Hikigaya's share of the information obtained by selling the leader of Class D, each member of Class C will need to give Hikigaya 25000 personal points every month.

Assuming there are 30 people in a class, this means 75 points per month, which is a truly huge sum of money.

Hikigaya was now even more certain that he could purchase the right to leave the school, and now he just had to wait patiently for the opportunity to come.

At the same time, there is another thing worth mentioning, that is, Hikigaya specifically asked Ryuen about restraining Manabe and others from targeting Karuizawa.

Hikigaya originally thought that this shouldn't be difficult. With Ryuen Sho's terrifying tyrant abilities, it would be too easy for him to restrain Manabe and the others.

In fact, this matter is indeed very simple, even to the point of being a little too easy.

Ryuen said that he just said it casually, and Manabe and others hurriedly said, "From now on, we will never dare to attack Karuizawa again." The surrender was so quick that even Ryuen Sho himself was surprised.

In this way, although I always feel that there are some problems in the details, both the problem of Karuizawa Megumi and the problem of Kushida Kikyo have been perfectly solved.

Hikigaya was able to completely relax and simply started enjoying the summer vacation early, lying in the dormitory for the entire day.

However, when the exam was over, he was finally called out by Horikita Suzune.

……

It was eleven o'clock in the evening, which was definitely late at night under normal circumstances, but the central hall inside the cruise ship was packed with people. Students from various classes had gathered here without realizing it.

The reason for this is undoubtedly because the results of this cruise ship exam will be announced to everyone via mobile email tonight.

Most people were so nervous that they didn't even dare to sleep. They all stayed outside with their companions, waiting for the final arrival of the test results.

At the request of Horikita Suzune, Hikigaya came to the door of the coffee shop and saw the black-haired girl at a glance.

"Do you really need to call me out so late?"

"As a member of Class D, you didn't do anything for this exam. Don't you have any burden in your heart?"

"I'm sorry, but I don't have any burden."

"..."

Hikigaya's shameless reaction undoubtedly made Horikita Suzune very dissatisfied.

The girl frowned slightly, and finally sighed silently: "Huh, I knew you would have this attitude, but I didn't expect anything from you. As long as you don't make things worse in this exam like you did in the uninhabited island exam, I will be satisfied."

"That's it..."

It seems that Horikita has no idea that she is organizing the cooperation among three classes, which is understandable. I am afraid that except for Kushida, most people in Class D are kept in the dark.

"It's very likely that Class A will win this exam." Horikita Suzune seemed to be nervous about the announcement of the exam results and she spoke more without realizing it.

"Maybe."

"As long as no other classes can find any preferential treatment, Class A will naturally win in the end."

"Do you think the preferential treatment in Class D won't be discovered?"

"There is no sign that the favored people in our class will be discovered. I am still confident about this."

"I have confidence..."

After hearing Horikita's lines that could definitely be called a flag, Hikigaya really didn't know how to start, so he simply fell silent.

Horikita felt inexplicably strange when she saw his look, and was about to ask a question when she suddenly heard a nearly continuous sound coming from her cell phone.

"what happened?"

In order to avoid being discovered that he knew the truth, Hikigaya asked curiously.

Horikita said in disbelief, "Traitors appeared in the Rat, Dragon, Horse, Rooster, and Pig groups. The exam ended before it even reached the end? Why? Who did this?!"

Chapter 391: The results of the cruise ship exam are out! The results are beyond everyone's expectations!

The sudden text message about the end of the exam caught the attention of all the first-year students. Everyone gathered in the cafe couldn't help but be surprised by the sudden news, and confusion appeared on their faces.

"Who on earth did such a stupid thing?"

When Horikita Suzune saw these five consecutive text messages, her first thought was that these were the actions of a madman.

After all, no matter how coincidental it is, it shouldn't be that the five reports all happened to occur at the same time. That would be too much of a coincidence.

And the most important thing is that among the five reporting groups, one of them is the Dragon Group where Horikita Suzune herself belongs, and she knows very well that the one who favors the Dragon Group is Kikyo Kushida.

Judging from the exam situation of the Dragon Team, Horikita didn't believe that anyone could see through the truth about the preferential treatment, so she absolutely couldn't believe that the initiator of the report text message had the real information about the preferential treatment.

"Horikita, have you seen the message?" Since most of the first-year students were gathered in this cafe at the moment, after seeing the message, the leader of Class D, Hirata Yosuke, rushed over to inquire about the situation. "Who did it? Not only the Dragon Team that Kushida is in, but also the Horse Team that Minami is in has been reported."

"Minami's group was also reported?" Hearing Hirata's words, Horikita's face showed obvious surprise, "There are only three preferential treatment students in a class, and two of our preferential treatment students' groups were reported. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"

"Not two." Hearing Horikita's words, Hirata Yosuke shook his head with a heavy expression, "In fact, I heard from Yukimura that the Rabbit Team he and Ayanokouji belong to was also reported for preferential treatment."

"The Rabbit Group was also reported? How could this happen?"

There are only three favored students in a class, but all the members of the group of the three favored students in Class D were reported.

This phenomenon, which could no longer be called a coincidence, made Horikita Suzune, who had originally felt that she had won and that at least there would be no surprises, very anxious. She vaguely felt that things had somewhat exceeded her original expectations.

"We don't need to be too anxious." Seeing Horikita's expression, Hirata couldn't help but console himself, "The other party may not have found the real benefactor, and just took a chance and betrayed. If the benefactor proposed by the betrayer is not the real benefactor of our class, it will give our class extra points."

"That's true, but in other words, there might be someone from our class who sent a betrayal letter to those other groups, right?"

Horikita obviously couldn't have the same positive attitude as Hirata.

She soon realized that not only was there a risk of Class D's favored person being discovered, but there was also a situation where class members could act on their own and guess the wrong favored person, resulting in points being deducted.

If Class D misjudged the favored party, the damage they would suffer would be enormous.

"That's true." Hirata Yosuke nodded slightly after hearing this. "I'm also worried about this matter, so I've been contacting each group until now, but fortunately, no boys have sent out emails as traitors."

"Aren't there any boys who are traitors?"

Hikigaya spoke with a hint of surprise after hearing what Hirata said.

"No, apart from Koenji's previous unauthorized actions, among the other boys, only Yamauchi had intended to send the mail, but before he could act, someone else had already gotten there first, so luckily..."

"I see."

Yamauchi would try to send out the traitor's email, apparently because of Ayanokouji's previous deliberate instigation.

Fortunately, Yamauchi was a weak man, and the other party did not have the courage to send the email directly. While he was hesitating, Ryuen got there first.

Come to think of it, among all this information, why is there so little information about Ayanokouji?

I always feel like I'm missing something...

"I don't know who or which class the other person is from, but it's really nice that he betrayed me first."

Horikita didn't know what Hikigaya was thinking. She was just glad that Yamauchi didn't do anything rash. After all, if it was Yamauchi who sent it, he would have guessed wrong nine times out of ten.

She then asked, "Is there anyone on the girls' side who is a traitor?"

"I'm not sure about the situation with girls. You should ask Karuizawa-san about that."

Hirata shook his head. Although he was the leader of Class D, his leadership was not strong enough to control the information of the entire class.

On the girls' group side, the one who is now more in control of the situation is actually Karuizawa Megumi.

"Karuizawa..."

Hearing the name proposed by Hirata, Hikigaya immediately found out what the previous sense of disharmony was. He quickly asked: "How is Karuizawa doing recently? Is there any strange behavior?"

Since Hikigaya didn't want to show off too much, he didn't meet Karuizawa directly after reaching a deal with Ryuuen. He just sent a text message to the other party saying that the problem had been solved. At that time, he received a grateful response from Karuizawa Megumi, so Hikigaya almost naturally thought that Karuizawa's problem had been solved with his help.

However, now that I think about it carefully, Manabe and the others' problems may have indeed been solved, but the biggest problem of the Rabbit Group that Karuizawa belongs to is not Manabe and the others.

Ayanokouji, who is also in the Rabbit Group and whose behavior is completely unpredictable, is the real trouble.

"Karuizawa?" Hirata showed a hint of confusion when he heard Hikigaya's sudden question. "I don't know much about Karuizawa's situation recently. I just heard that the exam situation of their group was quite chaotic."

"The situation is chaotic? Did something happen to the Rabbit Group?"

After hearing what Hirata said, even Horikita Suzune looked over curiously.

"I don't know the details, I just heard Yukimura say something in general." Hirata Yosuke said silently, "It seems that Yukimura heard from Ayanokouji that the other party was the favored one in the group, and Ayanokouji asked Yukimura to exchange phones with him to show others that he was the favored one, trying to deceive other students in the group. But this plan was seen through by Kanzaki from Class B. The other party called the phone and confirmed that the phone Hirata showed was actually Ayanokouji's, causing the plan to fail. The whole group knew that the real favored one of the Rabbit Group was Ayanokouji."

"Those idiots..."

After hearing what Hirata Yosuke said, Horikita Suzune immediately uttered angry words.

She obviously instinctively thought that Class D would lose valuable points due to Ayanokouji and Yukimura's unauthorized actions, and she felt very depressed.

After listening to this, Hikigaya looked at Hirata with a confused look on his face: "Hirata, I apologize in advance if I'm wrong, but is Ayanokouji really the one who is favored by the Rabbit Group?"

"What do you mean?"

Hirata and Horikita both looked over in confusion.

"What if, I mean what if, the one favored by the Rabbit Group is not actually Ayanokouji?"

"But Class B called and confirmed that the phone with the preferential treatment message was indeed Ayanokouji's." Hirata said in confusion, "The preferential treatment message can't be forged."
