Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

If I had to describe it in words, it would be a knife's edge.

Only by using the blade of a knife can you force those who have gone astray to make concessions.

Only when faced with the bloody reality will those who are too ignorant to see the truth realize the mistakes they have made.

Most people are unable to correct wrong things, and there is only one reason for this, which is that they are unable to make up their minds to treat the cancer that should exist as an enemy.

Precisely because most conflicts are situations where you are in me and I am in you, many people are always hindered by various aspects of face and are unable to use thorough means to tear apart the hypocritical appearance.

But Hikigaya is different. He has never cared about his own dignity, let alone the face of others.

Rather than indulging in false beauty, he is better at tearing everything apart with the sharp knife of reality.

So he stood up decisively and said, "Have you had enough of the trouble, Horikita Suzune? Do you really want Class D to lose this sports festival?"

Chapter 437: Horikita Suzune, you are the black sheep!

"Horikita Suzune, do you really want Class D to lose this sports festival?"

In front of everyone, Hikigaya once again criticized Horikita Suzune.

And this time, he no longer had any reservations and directly brought up the most sensitive topic for the entire Class D.

For Class D today, nothing is more important than the class's victory.

Everyone in Class D is willing to give everything just to achieve the final victory.

In other words, it is like an invisible unspoken rule that forces every student to take action for victory, and at the same time, everyone will condemn those students who are unwilling to pay for the class victory.

Except for people like Koenji who are eccentric to a certain extent, most people will inevitably be bound by these unspoken rules.

It is also because of this that a person like Horikita Suzune, who is totally unskilled at socializing, is able to gain a certain status in Class D, and even makes others dare not say anything to refute her.

Because no matter how bad Horikita Suzune's personality is, everything she does is for the promotion of the class, and what she does is the choice that best suits the class's interests.

Whether it's past achievements or current actions, Horikita is the one who cares most about the advancement of the class.

Because of this, even someone as tough as Shinohara cannot shake Horikita head-on. They can only stand from the perspective of the disadvantaged group and accuse the other party of Horikita using them to advance to Class A, but they cannot publicly deny Horikita.

Even Hirata Yosuke, the class leader, didn't dare to confront Horikita head-on.

Because they knew very well that going against Horikita Suzune was equivalent to denying the pursuit of class victory, and was equivalent to violating the class's unspoken rules. Therefore, no matter how willful and unreasonable Horikita Suzune's attitude and behavior were, no one would condemn her or point out her problems.

However, just because Horikita Suzune cannot be blamed for the problem does not mean that what Horikita Suzune did was correct.

Now everyone recognizes Horikita only because Horikita has not made any mistakes yet and has only done things that are beneficial to the class.

But if one day, the choice made by Horikita Suzune brings about huge mistakes and consequences, then the trust and power that was once given will immediately backfire, and all the accumulated dissatisfaction and contradictions will explode at that moment.

At that time, Horikita Suzune would definitely die without a burial place.

In order to prevent this from happening and to reduce his own troubles, Hikigaya chose to attack Horikita Suzune in advance.

This is similar to building ditches in a dam, increasing fault tolerance and reducing the possibility of a dam breach.

Unfortunately, Horikita Suzune clearly couldn't understand his good intentions, and said with a frown:

"Hikigaya, what did you say? Who did you say wanted Class D to lose?!"

What Horikita cares about most is the victory of Class D, so when Hikigaya said that she doesn't care whether the class wins or loses, she instantly angered him.

Of course, since he had already decided to speak, Hikigaya would not be scared by Horikita Suzune's reaction.

Although Shinohara and others might be frightened by Horikita's threats, Hikigaya, as a lone ranger among lone rangers, has no idea what fear is.

As long as he has identified the enemy, no matter how powerful the opponent is or how many there are, he will not waver in the slightest.

The Lone Ranger was the one who chose to make the whole world his enemy from the very beginning.

"I'm talking about you, Horikita. You don't want to cooperate with others, but instead blame those who try to keep up with you. Isn't this willful behavior proof that you want Class D to lose?"

The basis for Horikita Suzune's foothold in the class is her desire for victory and her excellent ability to lead the class to victory.

The objection raised by Hikigaya was very targeted, denying the value of Horikita from both the standpoint and the logic.

If we cannot bring victory to Class D, we will not be able to gain the support of the class, and we will not be qualified to gain respect and tolerance from others.

Based on this basic point, Hikigaya might even have directly destroyed everything that Horikita Suzune had in Class D.

"you……"

With Horikita's intelligence, she immediately understood the hidden meaning of Hikigaya's words.

Although she usually appears to be very straightforward, that is only because she has not been tempered yet, not because she is weak.

After realizing that Hikigaya was attacking her, her mind immediately calmed down. She no longer looked down on her opponent as she did before, but instead paid every attention to the enemy in front of her.

Yes, unlike Shinohara and the others, when facing Hikigaya as the enemy, even Horikita felt tremendous pressure and had to go all out.

"I don't agree with what you said!" Horikita Suzune responded after arranging her words, "Sports are a challenge to the limit. If you just give in, you won't be able to make progress! That's no different from surrender!"

Horikita refuted Hikigaya's words based on the theory of efficiency.

This is the kind of thinking she is best at, and it is the conclusion she has reached through continuous research and improvement as an individual.

But that is just biased thinking. If it is just as an individual, it is correct to think so, but if it is placed on a team, this kind of thinking will only lead to chaos.

People who are too good and people who are too stupid can both be equally destructive to a team.

If Horikita fails to understand this, she will be doomed to repeat the same mistakes.

"I see, Horikita, you think that others can't keep up with you because they don't work hard enough, right?"

"Although it's not completely consistent, I can understand your words in this way."

Horikita Suzune has looked down on the other students in Class D from the bottom of her heart since she first entered school, thinking that these students in Class D are lazy, lack training, and have no ambition.

This stereotype has persisted until now, and even though the students in Class D have changed, it has not been able to shake Horikita Suzune's thoughts.

"In that case, Horikita, why don't you try to practice with a boy?" After understanding Horikita's idea, Hikigaya made a suggestion, "You were practicing with girls just now, right? Three-legged race is a mixed event for men and women. Depending on the situation, you might also participate in the competition with boys."

"What do you want?"

"I didn't think much of anything. I just wanted you to try and see if you can adapt to higher intensity training with your so-called hard work."

"Humph." After understanding what Hikigaya meant, Horikita Suzune snorted coldly and said silently, "Okay, if you think this can prove my mistake, I can accept it."

"it is good."

Hikigaya nodded and looked at Hirata beside him.

He talked to Hirata privately, and after getting the other party's consent, he asked Hirata Yosuke and Horikita Suzune to do a three-legged race together.

Soon, in front of everyone in Class D, Horikita Suzune and Hirata Yosuke tied the ropes around their feet.

"Then let's run away—"

Hirata said this and took a step forward without caring about Horikita's reaction.

As one of the top five boys in the class in terms of physical fitness, Hirata's athletic ability and reaction speed are undoubtedly beyond the reach of Horikita Suzune. His normal speed makes it impossible for Horikita to cope with it.

"Hey, wait!"

Facing the somewhat panicked Horikita, Hirata did not pause at all and continued to maintain the same speed, thanks to the previous discussion with Hikigaya.

Realizing the gap between boys and girls, Horikita tried her best to catch up, but she was far inferior to boys in basic physical strength and muscle strength, so she kept falling into a bad state and was even about to fall.

However, this guy's stubbornness is beyond imagination.

Even in this stumbling state, Horikita Suzune managed to accompany Hirata throughout the entire journey, but she was also out of breath.

"Look, I persevered! This is proof that these guys didn't work hard!"

Horikita Suzune was panting heavily, with a look that said, "Don't expect me to give in so easily."

Seeing the other party like this, Hikigaya was at a loss.

When a person is determined not to see the reality and even closes his eyes for this, it is difficult to reason with such a person.

After all, you can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.

However, although Hikigaya has no means in terms of general logic, he does not only use general logic. On the contrary, what he is best at is the bandit logic that is comparable to fraud.

"Really? Then according to your theory, Horikita, you firmly believe that there is a black sheep in Class D, eroding the foundation of this class?"

"What else? Otherwise, why would this class be Class D?"

"So what are you going to do? Find that black sheep, tie him to the stake, and put him on trial in public?"

"Don't let go of people who don't work hard!"

Following Hikigaya's words, Horikita Suzune gritted her teeth and spoke coldly.

"Then according to your theory, the entire D class will probably be purged." Hikigaya spread his hands silently, "There is no one in this class who can run with the boys like you and not fall behind."

"This……"

Seeing Horikita Suzune fall into his language trap, Hikigaya sneered.

He hates when justice is not served and hates unreasonable people.

He also hated himself for making excuses for these behaviors and compromising himself.

Therefore, if Horikita is unwilling to be reasonable, then he will be even more unreasonable. If unreasonable things can be accepted by everyone, then who will be reasonable?

Since Horikita Suzune has already denied basic logic and is only looking for empty enemies to try to prove that her own theory is correct, then I can use the same logical trap against her.

"Horikita, according to what you said, if not working hard to the utmost is a sin, then why don't you just expel the entire D class? That should be in line with your idea, right?"

"No, I am not……"

"Have you not realized by now that if there is a black sheep in Class D, the target is not someone else, but you yourself?"

Hikigaya made the declaration with cold words, and those cold words directly hurt Horikita Suzune's heart!

Chapter 438: Hikigaya scolded Horikita until she cried?

Hikigaya used logical traps to directly point out Horikita Suzune's mistakes, and publicly stated that Horikita Suzune herself was the black sheep of Class D.

"Don't, don't say that, Hikigaya-san, Horikita-san is doing this for everyone..."

Yosuke Hirata had been watching from the sidelines and did not expect the conflict to escalate into this state, so he quickly spoke up and tried to ease the emotions on both sides.

Hikigaya looked at Horikita without hesitation and continued:

"Horikita, you have always been such a selfish guy. After all, you have looked down on the students in Class D from the beginning. You regard everyone in Class D as a roadblock to your promotion to Class A and a drag on you. That's why you target people in the class again and again, and you get angry and act big when you are not satisfied, right?"

"In the final analysis, you are just constantly pushing the reasons for failure, rejection, and negation onto others. In this way, you can easily avoid the really difficult part for you, hide the many troubles caused by you, and avoid your responsibilities!"

"You are the culprit that prevented Class D from being promoted. You are the black sheep that caused the class to lose unity!!"

Hikigaya's words became increasingly sharp, even rising to the level of personal attacks.

The reason for this is that his goal is not to destroy Horikita, but to transfer the responsibility and hostility that the other party should have borne to himself.

Yes, Hikigaya was not good at solving problems in a friendly and gentle way. He had always used only one method to solve problems -

That is to shift all the problems and responsibilities onto yourself.

The best way to bring people together is always to create a common enemy.

As long as you turn yourself into an absolute target and let everyone attack you, you can resolve most of the contradictions and cover up most of the conflicts.

Even if the conflict was created by someone with a sharp personality like Horikita Suzune, as long as everyone hated and despised themselves, basic unity could be maintained.

Therefore, after saying those words just now, Hikigaya was already prepared, waiting for Horikita Suzune to refute him.

As long as the other party can further attack him and deny the overly extreme views he has put forward, he can gain the sympathy of other class members.

Taking this opportunity, the people in Class D will gradually ignore Horikita Suzune's previous willful actions, and may even be willing to cooperate with Horikita's willfulness.

However, contrary to Hikigaya's expectations, Horikita did not act according to his reaction.

The other party neither refuted his words, nor was he angry enough to attack him, nor did he stand up to deny what he said.

The black-haired girl just fell into an eerie silence.

This caused Hikigaya to not know how to proceed for a moment.

After all, this was a play he improvised to turn himself into a villain, a perfect performance in which he, as a dragon, was killed by a brave man, thus gaining everyone's recognition.
