Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

So far, it seems that Horikita Suzune is the only one in this class who is willing to look at me straight in the eye. When I think about this, I feel inexplicably sad.

"It feels like you're thinking about something nasty."

Horikita suddenly gave him a cold gaze.

"How, how is it possible?!"

Tsk, could this guy be able to read minds...

Hikigaya sighed and hid his thoughts.

As time passed, it should have been time for the get out of class to end, but the homeroom teacher, Chabashi Sae, suddenly walked in from outside and came to the podium with a serious expression.

Although most people did not notice the changes in Chabashi Sae's micro-expressions, Hikigaya was the first to take it seriously, realizing that today's events might be unusual.

Chapter 51: Is Horikita Suzune a tsundere?

Chabashira Sae quickly walked up to the podium. She looked around the classroom, but almost no one reacted to her arrival.

Class D's classroom was still filled with noisy noise.

"Be quiet, I need you to pay more attention in class today!"

Chabashira Sae's slightly serious voice caused a reaction among the students, and the students in Class D all looked at the woman on the podium with surprise.

"Teacher Saeda, what happened?" Due to the indulgence for more than half a month, some students have begun to call the teacher by that affectionate name.

"Because it's the end of the month, we have to take a quiz...pass the first one to the back."

Under Chabashira Sae's arrangement, a test paper was placed in front of everyone in the class, and Hikigaya's desk was no exception.

He quickly took a look at the test paper. It listed questions from five main subjects: Chinese, Mathematics, English, Chemistry, and Sociology. Each subject had a few small questions. It was indeed a small test.

"Hey, I never heard of a test! How sneaky!"

Chi Kanzhi wailed in dissatisfaction in the classroom, and the other students were also generally very surprised by this sudden test.

"Don't say that. This exam will only be used as a reference in the future. It will not be reflected on the transcript. There is no risk, so don't worry. However, even in an exam like this, cheating is strictly prohibited."

Chabashira Sae showed an unimaginable tolerance towards the students. That kind of patience was completely different from what Hikigaya had seen in private before, which made the latter feel inexplicably creepy.

As expected, this head teacher is also an ultimate sadist.

Surely the weirdos in this school don't just include the students...

As for Chabashi Sae's words, Hikigaya naturally understood the hidden meaning behind them at the first moment.

'This test will serve as a reference in the future...' This is probably the key point. After all, this is the only use that a risk-free test can provide.

As for what the reference was, Hikigaya felt that he should wait until he finished the entire test paper before he could have a general understanding.

I hope it's not something too troublesome...

Hikigaya sighed deeply in his heart, and at the same time, he showed a level of nervousness far beyond the normal situation.

The exam began soon, and he quickly determined the contents of the exam paper - four questions in each subject, a total of twenty questions, and each question was worth five points, with a full score of one hundred.

The main problem is that the questions on the test paper are very simple, much lower than the level of the entrance examination, and are simply designed for students entering junior high school.

"Is it that simple? Has this school changed its mind?"

As Hikigaya continued to work on the test and was surprised at how simple the questions were, he suddenly discovered that the last three or so questions had extremely different levels of difficulty.

It’s like suddenly jumping from the 1+1 equation in elementary school to the final number series question in the college entrance examination.

Hikigaya was only able to answer the Chinese questions. His knowledge was clearly not enough for the other two questions.

So what is the purpose of this exam?

Teacher Chabashi Saeda said that the purpose of this small test is to use it as a reference in the future. What does the future refer to? Midterm exam? Final exam?

Hikigaya seemed to have vaguely foreseen some bad developments that might occur in the future, and after several attempts to solve the last two math and English problems, he failed miserably.

There's no way a high school student could solve this kind of weird problem, right?

Well, considering the number of weirdos in this school, maybe some monster could do it...

Hikigaya sighed, wrote the word "solution" at the beginning of the math problem, then decisively gave up filling in the subsequent content and put down the test paper.

The bell for the end of get out of class rang soon.

Hikigaya collected the test paper of Horikita Suzune who was sitting at the back table, and took a look at her answers.

Just as he expected, Horikita finished all the questions, but failed on the last three questions. However, he appeared calm and composed on the surface, and those who didn't know him would think he was going to get full marks.

"You secretly peeked at other people's test papers. Are you planning to be killed by me?"

“No, no…”

Frightened by Horikita's words, Hikigaya even felt that some kind of death ray had gathered behind him.

very scary.

This woman is so scary!

Even more violent than my junior high school homeroom teacher, Shizuka Hiratsuka!

After submitting the test paper, Hikigaya was about to lower his head to read the book, but Horikita's voice suddenly rang out: "What do you think of the test paper just now?"

“It’s easy to pass the test.”

"Indeed." Horikita rarely agreed with Hikigaya's opinion. "The difficulty of the last three questions is very strange. I don't think any high school student can get a perfect score."

“Maybe someone can.”

Hikigaya said this while stealing a glance at Ayanokouji, but unfortunately the latter was completely immersed in the fight with the three idiots and didn't notice him.

But Horikita didn't understand what he meant at all.

"You've been absent from class a lot recently. Are you so withdrawn that you don't even want to stay in the classroom?" Horikita suddenly spoke up, changing the subject.

"I just like to be alone."

Hikigaya didn't explain anything because he didn't want his membership in the student council to be exposed.

Yes, he occasionally disappeared these days because he had to go to the Student Union to handle work, so many times he had to run away as soon as the get out of class was over.

This incident inevitably caused a reaction from Horikita Suzune, but Hikigaya couldn't find a reasonable explanation, so he could only drag it out.

"Does he have a girlfriend?"

Horikita Suzune suddenly came up with a terrible guess.

"No! Why would you have such an idea?!" Hikigaya denied it on the spot.

"I just thought it might not be surprising if a guy like you had a girlfriend."

"It's surprising, right? In fact, I don't need a girlfriend. I hate it most when my time is taken away from me. If I were woken up by a crying call from my girlfriend in the middle of the night, I would definitely break up with her on the spot!"

Hikigaya makes no secret of his hostility towards relationships between the sexes.

"That's true."

Horikita Suzune nodded, without reacting to Hikigaya's lousy words.

This surprised Hikigaya a little, because if a normal woman heard him say this, she would definitely widen her eyes on the spot and then say something terrible like 'public enemy of women' in private.

Could it be that Horikita...

"At least on this point, I don't dislike your character."

Horikita Suzune suddenly spoke, and said something that shocked Hikigaya.

Eh, does that mean you don’t hate it?

No way, could it be that Horikita Suzune, this sharp-tongued weirdo, is actually a tsundere?

Chapter 52: I'm in a high school, not a spy classroom, right?

"Are Hikigaya-san and Horikita-san dating?"

During the lunch break, Hikigaya was about to go to lunch when he was suddenly attacked mentally by the indescribable Miss Kushida.

These words immediately set off a storm in the minds of Hikigaya and Horikita Suzune.

So much so that even Horikita Suzune, who usually didn't pay much attention to Kushida Kikyo, looked over with wide eyes.

"Why do you say that?!"

Hikigaya turned to look at Kushida, only to notice a smile in the corner of the girl's eyes.

He instantly realized that this was just a joke from Kushida Kikyo, who obviously still remembered the news that he had told her before, "Horikita Suzune is a yuri."

"It's just that people in the class spread it like this." Kushida Kikyo said, glancing at the class, "Many people already believe this."

"Boring group reaction."

Horikita Suzune rarely responded to Kushida Kikyo's words.

And Hikigaya also spoke seriously: "Yeah, how could I date Horikita? This kind of thing is unlikely to happen even in ten years."

"Eh? But from the perspective of the people in the class, you two usually don't talk to others. You always secretly communicate with each other in your seats. It looks like a couple talking about something that can't be told to us, right?"

"How can it be?!"

Hikigaya and Horikita spoke in unison, a rare occurrence.

The two firmly refuted the rumors.

This scene made Kushida Kikyo stunned and gave rise to groundless suspicions.

However, Kushida didn't care and said with a smile: "Since this news is false, I will help clarify it for everyone later."

"Thank you."

Although he knew it was an act, Hikigaya couldn't help but feel a little grateful for Kushida's behavior.

Horikita Suzune continued to read with her head down, without any reaction to Kushida Kikyo's behavior.

Next, Hikigaya packed up and prepared to go for lunch, but before he took a few steps, Yamauchi Haruki and Ike Kanji suddenly appeared in front of him.

"You are……"

"Hikigaya, please don't attack Kushida!!"

Chi Kanzhi suddenly spoke loudly, as if to refute himself.

"Yes, yes, you already have Horikita, so you can't compete with us for Kushida!" Yamauchi Haruki nodded in agreement.

"It does not make sense."

Hikigaya was speechless. Even though he usually thought these two idiots were very stupid, only at this moment could he realize just how low their bottom line was.

It is obvious that Haruki Yamauchi and Kanji Ike were not trying to get a response from Hikigaya.

The two of them spoke to each other.

"We're not jealous at all that you took away a mean girl like Horikita, but Kushida-chan is the cutest girl in the class. Ah, I really want to date Kushida-chan."

"I really want to have sex with her—"

"Idiot, there's no way you can date Kushida-chan! Even if you're just imagining it, that's not allowed!"

"Do you really think you can date her, Ike? In my mind, Kushida-chan has already slept next to me!"

"What are you talking about! In my case, she not only cosplays, but also strikes an incredible pose!"

Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki ignored the other people in the class and just kept smoking.

This scene undoubtedly aroused the disgust of many girls, and also made Hikigaya once again deeply aware of what kind of bad guys gathered in Class D.

It's a pity that Ayanokouji usually hangs out with these two idiots...

Hikigaya sighed, ignored the two of them, turned around and slipped out from the back.

Because of his low presence, his departure did not attract anyone's attention.
