Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

He then took a can of coffee from the refrigerator and opened it.

As the slightly bitter coffee rolled down his throat, the events of the day came to his mind.

The matter of Horikita Suzune.

The matter of Kushida Kikyo.

The story of Ayanokouji and Karuizawa...

The increasingly chaotic situation of the class forced him to be drawn into the vortex, and he could no longer stay out of many things.

Since you can no longer avoid work, you can only think about how to reduce your workload.

On the surface, the biggest trouble at the moment is Horikita Suzune, but he doesn't think that the conflict between him and Horikita will affect anything.

The biggest trouble is Kikyo Kushida's seemingly calm but actually turbulent heart.

And the most important thing is that Ayanokouji has obviously set his sights on Kushida. He may attack Kushida at any time and cause a huge impact on Kushida Kikyo in a place that he cannot see.

If that happens, not only will Class D fall into great chaos, but my workload will also likely increase, and new work will inevitably be thrown at me.

It seems that I can no longer enjoy my campus life leisurely.

No matter how much he hated the supremacy of strength, he had to admit that only with absolute strength could one obtain absolute peace in this school.

But how do you do it yourself?

Now that things have come to this, what should I do to change everything after being in a mess for so long?

"Jingle Bell!"

The cell phone suddenly rang, interrupting Hikigaya's thoughts.

Someone suddenly contacted me in the middle of the night.

This familiar development gave him an instinctive sense of déjà vu.

Hikigaya opened his phone with heavy thoughts, and then found that the person who sent the message was indeed the familiar name - Sakayanagi Arisu.

"It seems that Sakayanagi has completely reorganized Class A and has officially started to cause trouble..."

Chapter 436: Horikita, do you really want Class D to lose this exam?

Although he received a text message from Arisu Sakayanagi, who wanted to meet him after school the next day, Hikigaya did not panic or become as nervous as before.

There are many reasons for this.

The first is undoubtedly that he has faced Sakayanagi many times since he came to this school, and has more or less developed a bit of resistance, which can also be called numbness.

If the same thing happens too many times, no one will cause any unnecessary fluctuations.

As for the second point, he has gradually figured out Sakayanagi Arisu's behavior patterns, and after many contacts, he has adapted to Sakayanagi's way of thinking.

Yes, what Hikigaya excels at is human observation.

At the same time, his observation ability is not just to simply investigate the object, but to predict the means that the opponent will take by observing the actions of the object.

As long as you can fully guess the means that the other party may use, then no matter what kind of opponent it is, you can find a way to fight against it, and at worst you can make some countermeasures.

This is also the reason why Hikigaya doesn't care about most people in this school, but is nervous about Ayanokouji.

Because he still hasn't been able to fully grasp Ayanokouji's way of thinking, he can't understand what's going on in that guy's mind.

Incomprehensible means impossible to analyze, which means difficult to resist.

At least for now, Hikigaya doesn't have the confidence to face Ayanokouji head-on.

Of course, it's hard to figure out an abnormal guy like Ayanokouji, but Hikigaya can more or less see through most people after one or two contacts, even Arisu Sakayanagi and even the student council president Horikita Manabu.

As long as one is human, he or she will think, and as long as there is thinking, there will be flaws.

Hikigaya is confident that he is unrivaled in his solitary thinking, so he is confident that he can defeat even the most terrible opponent.

……

The next day, Class D officially began training for the sports festival.

During the break, everyone in the class changed into sportswear and went to the school playground.

Hikigaya was no exception. With a heavy heart, he went to the playground to train for all participants.

At this moment, he unexpectedly discovered that there were students from other classes around the playground, including students from Class A and Class C, who seemed to be here to investigate the actions of Class D.

Not to mention Class C currently controlled by Sakayanagi, Class A led by Ichinose can be said to be an ally of Class D for now, but they still show vigilance.

This is enough to show how much Class A cares about this exam. They hope to use this exam as an opportunity to completely distance themselves from other classes.

"Don't worry about the people in other classes, we just need to do our best."

Yosuke Hirata also noticed the behavior of other classes coming to scout, so he immediately comforted the students in his own class and asked everyone to concentrate on training.

Seeing this, Horikita Suzune frowned and said, "Come to think of it, no one from Class B came to investigate."

Horikita's doubts quickly aroused reactions from others.

The students in Class D also soon discovered that no one from Class B, led by Ryuen Sho, had come to the playground to investigate the situation. It was as if they were saying that it had nothing to do with them which competition any member of Class D was participating in.

"Maybe Class B is very confident."

"Perhaps... but at least I don't think he didn't think of reconnaissance."

"Ryuen-san refused to cooperate with Class C. Maybe that person didn't intend to seriously formulate a strategy at all."

Hirata Yosuke rejected Horikita Suzune with tolerant words.

Although Horikita was very dissatisfied with this, she couldn't continue to express her thoughts.

After all, her position in Class D is very awkward. She can neither coordinate the overall situation like Hirata Yosuke, nor get along well with everyone like Kushida Kikyo.

The result was that she herself could not make any suggestions about the current situation after the strategy was formulated.

In desperation, she instinctively turned her gaze towards Hikigaya.

If it were normal, she would probably come to complain to me directly, or at least find a way to vent her dissatisfaction...

However, it seemed that because of the conversation yesterday, Horikita Suzune completely gave up the idea of ​​contacting him and just looked away silently.

"..."

Hikigaya didn't react to seeing Horikita like this.

After all, things turned out like this, and he himself has an inescapable responsibility.

Although he said that he hoped everyone else hated him, when the relationship really reached a deadlock, he still felt a little helpless.

And there is Class B. Ryuen Sho didn't send anyone to investigate the situation of Class D, which can be understood as Ryuen himself being too arrogant.

However, based on Hikigaya's understanding of Ryuuen, the possibility that he was too arrogant was very small. He was a more cautious guy than expected.

In other words, Ryuuen has obtained information about Class D through some method?

"That guy really likes to show off openly."

Hikigaya sighed. He had more or less guessed the truth behind it, and also realized that a certain pathetic guy was about to be sold.

……

Since all students had to participate in the event and no one could escape, Hikigaya had to start preparing for the competition.

The first event was the 100-meter race. Hikigaya himself was actually quite good at this kind of endurance-testing competition.

After all, he has been going to school by himself since elementary school, and after entering junior high school, he rode a bicycle to and from school every day, so he developed good endurance.

"13 seconds? Hikigaya, you're a very fast runner."

Hirata acted a little surprised at Hikigaya's speed after the run.

Hikigaya himself was surprised at his running speed. He didn't expect that he could run so much faster than when he was in junior high school.

This is all thanks to the training of the president...

Of course, although this result is very good for Hikigaya personally, it is nothing compared to real athletes.

At the same time, the girls' training was also going on, and their main training item was the three-legged race.

"Hey, Horikita-san, can you cooperate with me a little more?" Suddenly, Onodera, who was training with Horikita Suzune, spoke anxiously.

"The rhythm is indeed off, but that's not my fault, it's because you run slowly."

Horikita Suzune coldly refuted her companion with the same attitude as usual.

"What... don't you think this is weird?"

"In order to get a better score, it's only natural to match the pace of the faster runner, right? It would be strange if I were to slow down and compromise with you."

As expected, Horikita Suzune's socially awkward personality caused trouble.

The student who is currently working with Horikita Suzune is Onodera Kayano from Class D. She was originally a member of the swimming club and has the highest physical fitness among the girls, but even for her, it is impossible for her to easily cooperate with Horikita who wants to run at the fastest speed.

From this we can see how huge the flaws in Horikita Suzune's character are. If those mistakes cannot be corrected, what the other party desires will always be just castles in the air.

Of course, Hikigaya did not correct Horikita's thoughts, or rather, he had already tried to correct him a long time ago.

Unfortunately, this guy is more stubborn than one could imagine. If he doesn't speak directly and clearly, he won't be able to understand the core of the meaning.

Hikigaya silently watched the conflict between Horikita Suzune and other students. He didn't want to care about these boring things and just wanted to do his own thing.

Unexpectedly, the flames in the distance began to burn fiercely as if they had touched the weeds.

"Hey, Horikita-san, you're in such a bad state!"

Seeing her friend Onodera being targeted by Horikita, Shinohara Satsuki could no longer sit still and stood up to try to complain to him.

"I'm just stating the facts, do you have any opinion?"

Horikita Suzune looked coldly at Shinohara, who represented the girls' group. Her aura was so strong that she was comparable to thousands of troops, and Shinohara couldn't say anything extra.

However, Shinohara Satsuki's position also made her unable to retreat here, and she immediately said loudly: "Horikita, you rely on your intelligence, but in fact you always look down on us! We are obviously students in the same class, but you have never taken us seriously, and just regard us as tools for you to get promoted to Class A!"

"What did you say?!"

Horikita Suzune was hurt by Shinohara Satsuki's words.

Precisely because the other party is telling the truth, it is even more difficult to accept when it is spoken out loud. This is the situation that Horikita is in right now.

She didn't expect Shinohara to speak his true thoughts in public. For a moment, her eyes were filled with flames and she rushed straight to Shinohara.

"you……"

Feeling the pressure from Horikita's approach, Shinohara's face showed obvious panic.

She was clearly afraid of the oppressive Horikita Suzune and did not dare to confront her head-on.

In fact, ever since the end of the uninhabited island and the trial on the cruise ship, Shinohara Satsuki no longer has her previous irritating attitude.

Except that she still behaves in an extreme way when it comes to the key interests of some girls, most of the time she will not be too targeted at other people in the class, and she even often appears depressed occasionally.

The reason for this is that, ultimately, Shinohara himself is just an ordinary person.

In this school full of monsters and demons, the other party is just an ordinary person without any special characteristics.

Because of this, once she clashed with a real beast and was stung by its sharp claws, she would naturally lose her original confidence and become inferior and sensitive.

Moreover, Shinohara is essentially a social beast. He can only mingle with the tribe and rely on his class status in the tribe to barely gain a sense of security.

If she faces an enemy within her class, even if it is someone above her class, she will have the courage to resist, or at least will not feel obvious fear.

But Horikita Suzune is not a member of a certain class. She has always been a wild beast that has separated from the group, like a tiger.

To Shinohara, Horikita is like a monster from another world, an existence that cannot be resisted by reason.

Therefore, the moment Horikita Suzune showed her courage, Shinohara Satsuki retreated unconsciously and was completely unable to compete with her.

Witnessing all this, Hikigaya realized that he had to do something. At least he couldn't just watch Horikita Suzune continue to have the upper hand.

If people don't have enemies, it is difficult to control their own shortcomings.

This is exactly what Horikita Suzune is experiencing right now.

If the situation is allowed to continue, it will inevitably go to an extreme that no one wants to see.

In this case, we must find a way to solve the problem now.

Unfortunately, Hikigaya is not good at solving problems with gentle means. On the contrary, he is only good at resolving conflicts in a way that is completely opposite to the gentle word "solving problems".
