Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

"How could this happen?" While most of the D class members instinctively believed in the existence of traitors, Hirata Yosuke's attitude was firmly opposed, "I don't believe there is a traitor in our class! This must be an accident! Oh, maybe Class C discovered the pattern of preferential treatment in this exam."

In response to Hirata's rebuttal, Karuizawa seemed to have expected it, and replied: "But if Class C didn't know about the preferential treatment of other classes, how could they deduce the pattern of preferential treatment?"

"This……"

"There must be a traitor in our class, and that person might be among us!"

Chapter 393 Kushida: I'm sorry, I'm the traitor of that class!

Karuizawa suddenly raised a possibility - there might be a traitor within Class D.

The traitor revealed the information about the favored person in Class D to people in other classes, which led to such a huge loss for Class D this time.

Faced with this overly extreme accusation, everyone in Class D couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment, with instinctive panic appearing on their faces.

After all, under the current circumstances, no one can rule out the suspicion of being a traitor, nor can anyone guarantee that the people around him are not the traitors who betray the interests of the class.

Under such circumstances, suspicion and distrust will continue to spread over time until the class collapses or the real traitor is found!

"..."

Faced with the situation created by Karuizawa, Hikigaya was undoubtedly very surprised. He never expected that it would be Karuizawa Kei who would take the lead.

Because it does not conform to the other party's past behavioral logic.

Moreover, there is no benefit for Karuizawa to find the traitor. After all, what Karuizawa has always wanted to maintain is her own class status within the class. There is no reason for her to care so much about such a thing that has nothing to do with maintaining her class status.

Therefore, there is no doubt that Karuizawa took such action because she was manipulated by someone else.

If nothing unexpected happens, the person who ordered Karuizawa to launch an operation to find the class traitor should be Ayanokouji.

But this raises a new question.

Why does Ayanokouji think that he can find the traitor by doing this?

In fact, given the nature of Class D, even if all members of the class were called out for a meeting, there would be no guarantee that the real traitor could be caught. Instead, there was a high possibility that the class would fall into civil strife.

This can be seen from the fact that when Class D encountered crises in the past few times, most people in this class did not think about how to solve the problem, but instead blamed each other.

It is simply impossible to get the guys in Class D to take action for the common good.

Ayanokouji instigated Karuizawa to publicly announce that there was a traitor in Class D. If he was not deliberately making trouble and wanted to cause civil strife in the class, there was only one possibility, that is, the other party had already grasped the identity of the traitor and had real evidence that could clearly catch the traitor!

"Karuizawa, you said there was a traitor in our class?" When Class D was in chaos and many students in the class were nervous about each other, Horikita Suzune took the lead and asked, "What you mean is that someone in our class cooperated with Class C and sold the information about the class's favored students to Ryuen Sho?"

"That should be the case. Otherwise, why would so many of our students be attacked by Class C? Except for my Rabbit Group, all the students in other groups have been discovered by Class C."

Karuizawa seemed to have anticipated what Horikita would say, and although he was a little shaken and nervous when confronting her, he did not hesitate in his words.

Horikita didn't expect Karuizawa to have such a strong language ability. After a brief hesitation, he spoke silently: "But it's not just our class. Class A was also attacked by Class C. Do you mean that Class A also has spies from Class C? Is this possible?"

"Of course it's impossible." Karuizawa shook his head decisively. "Class A members are different from our Class D members. They don't have too many desires for personal points. Moreover, after Class A experienced the failure on the uninhabited island, Katsuragi Kohei will definitely be more nervous and cautious than before. He will definitely not allow any betrayers to appear."

"In that case..."

Karuizawa interrupted Horikita directly, "I've said before, the reason why Class C was able to discover the favored students in Class D and Class A is because they found the pattern behind the favored students. Do you think ordinary people can easily find the pattern of the favored students set up by the school? In other words, will the school allow the pattern of the favored students to be easily found with the power of only one class? This should be unlikely, right?"

"That's true." After listening to Karuizawa's 'analysis', Horikita nodded unwillingly, but she immediately refuted, "But this is still not enough to prove that there is a traitor in our class. It is possible that Class C only obtained the information of Class B's preferential treatment and deduced the rules behind the preferential treatment."

"You're right." Karuizawa nodded silently at Horikita Suzune's rebuttal. "Class C might just be gambling, relying only on the favored students from Class C and Class B to deduce the rules, but shouldn't normal people do something that is more certain to win than gambling? Moreover, this involves the ownership of hundreds of points. Once the result of the deduction is wrong, the consequences will be disastrous."

"This...Ryuen Sho might just be a reckless gambler."

"But gamblers know better that they should prepare the option with the highest probability of winning before going to the table." Karuizawa refuted Horikita's words one by one, and looked at everyone else, "I think it was because someone in Class D betrayed the interests of the class and told Ryuen Sho of Class C about the identity of the favored students in Class D that Ryuen had the courage to deduce the exam rules given by the school, and based on the rules, guess the favored students in Class A and Class D!"

"..."

Karuizawa's sharp yet calm words caused the scene to suddenly fall into silence.

Everyone in Class D was in a state of confusion and tension at this moment. They looked at each other and did not dare to respond to Karuizawa's words.

After all, at this time, whether you support Karuizawa or oppose Karuizawa, it is easy to get into trouble. No one wants to become a target of attack by others, let alone be treated as a traitor.

In the end, it was Hirata who took the initiative to stand up. The leader of Class D seemed very angry and looked at Karuizawa with a complicated look: "I don't know if there is a traitor in Class D, but I think it is not good to suspect other students without reason. This is not conducive to the unity of the class!"

"Class unity?" Hearing Hirata Yosuke's noble words, Karuizawa sneered, "Again? You didn't come to help me when I was in danger... Now that things have come to a point, you suddenly stand up and want to act as a hero?"

"This……"

After hearing what Karuizawa suddenly mentioned, Hirata suddenly lost the ability to speak and fell silent.

Karuizawa spoke silently, "Besides, when the uninhabited island exam was over, didn't everyone already have a conclusion? Those who do the right thing will be recognized, and those who do the wrong thing will be punished. This is the tone used to determine the class rules! So, as someone who helped the class win, it's reasonable for me to question whether there are traitors who are holding the class back! Are you going to let the traitor hiding in the dark go unpunished now? This is what destroys class unity!"

"..."

I didn't expect Karuizawa Kei to bring up the reward and punishment mechanism that Horikita and Kushida established at the end of the uninhabited island exam.

All of a sudden, neither Hirata nor Horikita could react.

After all, if the reward and punishment mechanism is set up as it is, Karuizawa Megumi has won a group victory for Class D and helped Class D avoid being deducted points. She questioned whether there was a traitor in the class, and others had no way to refute it.

Unless Koenji, who was also a winner, stood up and spoke, but Koenji had already gone somewhere to have fun before the exam was over, and it was impossible to find him now.

Naturally, the others were powerless to refute Karuizawa's words.

So, after gaining the upper hand in the topic, Karuizawa took the initiative to raise the question again: "I think that compared to ordinary people, the favored ones are more likely to become traitors, because only when the favored ones show their mobile phone text messages can the people in other classes truly believe that they are the favored ones. And the favored ones in this exam, besides me, are Minami and Kushida. There is a high possibility that the traitor is between the two of them."

"This... I'm not a traitor!!"

After hearing what Karuizawa said, another favored student in Class D, Minami Setsu, immediately stood up and said that he was not a traitor.

Karuizawa did not continue to guide the topic. After all, she had already said enough. All that was needed next was a class discussion to basically pinpoint the truth about the betrayer.

In fact, after Karuizawa's guidance, Class D immediately started to make various discussions.

Among them, the students who shared the same dormitory with Kikyo Kushida couldn't help but have all kinds of doubts at this moment.

"Come to think of it, it seems like Kushida-san was often not in the dormitory the past two nights."

"She always said she couldn't sleep and wanted to go out for a walk, but she wouldn't come back until very late."

"Kusida-san looked a little strange the past two days. He seemed to be in low spirits..."

"Could it be that Kushida-san is a traitor?"

"No, that's impossible... How could Kushida be a traitor?!"

"..."

Under some kind of guidance that was almost like going with the flow, the abnormal performance of Kushida in the exams two days ago was immediately questioned by the classmates.

But there are also a large number of Kushida's supporters who are helped by Kushida on a daily basis. Naturally, they are unwilling to believe that Kushida is a traitor to the class.

As a result, quarrels and chaos occurred again in this class, and the endless arguments dragged Class D into an unforeseen vortex.

Witnessing such a chaotic scene, Kushida, who had been sitting in the corner without saying a word, suddenly stood up.

She first looked at Hikigaya with complicated eyes, and then looked at Karuizawa from a distance.

Finally, Kushida Kikyo slowly came in front of everyone, took a deep breath, and spoke in front of everyone:

"Everyone, I'm sorry, I was the one who told Ryuuen the identity of the favored student. I am the traitor of that class."

Chapter 394: Kushida, did you really betray the class?

"I'm sorry, I'm the traitor of Class D."

Kushida directly revealed his identity as a traitor to Class D. These straightforward words immediately caused a sensation in the entire Class D.

All the students in Class D looked at Kushida in bewilderment. Their faces were filled with shock, and they couldn't even figure out the situation.

"Kushida is... a traitor?!"

Similarly, Horikita Suzune and Hirata Yosuke had not expected such a thing to happen.

In order to maintain the stability of the class, the two had been insisting that there were no traitors in Class D and that no one would take the initiative to betray the class.

However, what Kushida said was like a slap in their faces, and it made them completely unable to understand why the other party would betray the class.

The most important thing is that no one can understand why the other party would so directly admit his identity as a traitor.

"Kushida-san, are you really a traitor?"

"Why do you want to be a traitor?"

"Someone must have forced you to do that..."

"..."

All of a sudden, many members of Class D asked questions. They simply couldn't understand why Kushida would betray Class D.

As for all the doubts, Kushida Kikyo seemed to have made up her mind. She took a deep breath and slowly said, "No one forced me to do this. This is my responsibility alone. I really betrayed Class D."

"Why?!" Hearing Kushida's words, even Karuizawa Megumi, who had previously proposed the concept of traitors, couldn't hold back, "Kushida, are you really a traitor?"

"Yes."

Faced with Kushida's frank admission, Karuizawa was suddenly confused. She never expected that Kushida would so easily admit his identity as a traitor.

All the lines she had prepared were stuck in her throat, and she didn't know how to continue.

Finally, she had to secretly look in the direction of Ayanokouji, only to find that Ayanokouji himself was also quite surprised, as if he had not expected this result.

While everyone at the scene was having various reactions to Kushida's admission of being a traitor, Hikigaya was looking at Karuizawa and Ayanokouji with a serious look.

After witnessing what had just happened, he was completely certain that Karuizawa had been used by Ayanokouji.

Ayanokouji controlled Karuizawa in some way and used him to attack Kushida Kikyo.

The reason why he was so sure was that when Karuizawa just now suggested that the person who was given preferential treatment was most likely a traitor, the people in Class D almost immediately locked onto Kikyo Kushida.

This is obviously not something that would happen casually.

After all, Kushida has a certain popularity in Class D. After such a long period of accumulation, everyone in Class D trusts Kushida very much and it is impossible for them to doubt her so quickly.

The reason why Class D suspected Kushida so quickly was probably because Ayanokouji had already privately informed many people before everything happened, inducing many people to suspect Kushida of being a traitor.

Therefore, when Karuizawa Megumi stepped forward and suggested that there might be a traitor in the class, the people in Class D were so quick to target Kushida.

It can be said that Ayanokouji's move was a completely vicious plot.

After all, Ayanokouji probably had already noticed that Kikyo Kushida was a traitor a long time ago, but he deliberately did not expose the matter. Instead, he waited silently until the exam was over and everything became a foregone conclusion. Only when Kushida completed the betrayal and had no way to defend himself did he stand up and expose everything.

There is no doubt that the purpose of his doing this is to completely destroy Kushida and make him completely unable to resist.

This method is indeed very clever. If Kikyo Kushida really betrayed the class and hid this secret, she would probably fall directly into the eighteenth level of hell under this wave of operations, and would never be able to raise her head in the class again.

In this way, Class D will lose a dangerous hidden bomb, and the following exams will suffer a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Even Hikigaya was happy to see Kushida stop causing trouble, and hoped that this class would become more peaceful.

However, Hikigaya still couldn't accept the approach taken by Ayanokouji.

Because even if this was just a means for the other party to eliminate dangerous elements who were detrimental to the class, he did not approve of this approach that almost completely destroyed a person's spirit and pushed him into hell.

If Kikyo Kushida really became a traitor and sold the information to Class C, then when she faced such a trial within Class D, I am afraid that her spirit would collapse immediately and she would fall into complete despair.

In that case, Kushida Kikyo as an individual might no longer be a hidden bomb affecting Class D, but that would also mean that Kushida's own personality would be completely destroyed.

Hikigaya obviously cannot easily approve of such behavior of distorting the fate of others just to achieve one's own goals without regard for personal will!!

It can be said that Ayanokouji took the approach he hated the most, not only towards Kushida, but also towards Karuizawa...

No matter what, he couldn't admit to this practice!

"Kushida, did you really betray me?"

At the same time, when Hikigaya saw through everything, most of the people in Class D were still shocked by Kushida's revelation that he was a traitor.

Hirata Yosuke stood up immediately and said loudly: "There must be some hidden story. Someone has caught you! Kushida, you wouldn't do something like that casually, right!"

"No, I betrayed myself."

Kushida responded to Hirata's words calmly, erasing the other party's expectations.

After a brief moment of surprise, Karuizawa gradually recovered from the confusion. She looked at Kushida Kikyo with a puzzled look, and soon said firmly: "Do you know what you are doing? Because of your betrayal, the identities of the two preferential treatments in Class D have been discovered, and we have been deducted 100 class points! If it weren't for that family...if it were because of me, the preferential treatment of the Rabbit Group would definitely be discovered. Do you know how wrong this is!!!"

"..."
