Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

One book is enough to cover the cost of Hikigaya's reading for several weeks.

This girl is really a rich woman!

"H-long time no see."

Hikigaya simply nodded in greeting, then immediately pulled away from the girl and made a point of sitting a few seats away from her.

This can more or less give him a certain sense of security, otherwise his heart would jump out of his throat just by sitting together.

Damn it, even though I felt I was no longer afraid of this little devil before coming here...but after actually meeting him, I still couldn't suppress the trembling in my heart...is this what, racial restraint?

If it were an RPG game, I would be just a slime outside the novice village, so it would be impossible for me to disobey the big boss in the Demon King's Castle.

Anyway, take a sip of coffee to calm yourself down.

When Hikigaya was about to take a big gulp of coffee, he forgot that the coffee had just been served and was still scalding hot.

He was afraid of the heat, so he covered his mouth and blew hard at the cup after just touching it.

At this time, Sakayanagi, due to her physical disability, struggled to carry her crutches and moved towards him.

Seeing her like this, Hikigaya was afraid that she would fall, so he had to turn back to where he came from.

"Haha, you're still as gentle as ever, Hikigaya-kun."

"Don't think too much, I just think the original position is more comfortable!"

Hearing Hikigaya's classic tsundere lines, Sakayanagi smiled and covered her mouth with her hands, then slowly said, "Then why did you run away just now? That's very rude~"

"No, I was just worried about disturbing you."

This is the unique gentleness of the Lone Ranger.

If you get too close to me, you may easily be infected with Hikigaya bacteria!

What is Hikigaya?

With complicated thoughts in his mind, Hikigaya silently observed Sakayanagi beside him and found that there was almost no obvious change in the other party after not seeing him for several months.

This is not just about the appearance, but also the inner part.

From this, it can be seen that the rapid decline of the Katsuragi faction was a matter of course for her, and she did not have any emotional fluctuations about it at all.

Sakayanagi noticed his observation and came closer, smiling and saying, "We haven't seen each other for such a long time, did you miss me?"

"puff!"

I almost spit the coffee I just drank onto the table.

Doesn't this guy have any shame at all?

This kind of conversation is usually only used between couples!

Oh, I understand. Not only does this guy look like an elementary school student on the outside, but his inner qualities are also at the level of an elementary school student, right?

"Why did you call me here?" Hikigaya took a deep breath, trying not to be affected by the other party's behavior. "Have you dealt with the matter of Class C?"

Hikigaya deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of Class C in an attempt to sway Sakayanagi and take back the initiative.

"Yes, now the former Class A is completely under my control."

However, Sakayanagi spoke without hesitation, not being affected by his words at all.

Moreover, the other party used the original A class as their name, which clearly expressed their determination that Class A was destined to become Class A again.

"Are you sure?" Hikigaya couldn't help but ask, "You are still not the leader of Class C in this sports meet, right? If Katsuragi can find a way to achieve merit in this exam, the people in Class C might start to recognize him again."

"That's true, but Katsuragi certainly can't do it on his own."

"..."

Sakayanagi said this very lightly, but it was actually true.

With Katsuragi's style and approach, there was no chance of winning no matter how hard you tried.

Arisu Sakayanagi had anticipated this outcome, so he took the initiative to withdraw from the leadership struggle and gave all the performance opportunities in the first semester to the Katsuragi faction.

As she expected, the Katsuragi faction suffered a series of defeats, which made the former Class A students begin to accept Sakayanagi's existence more.

"Come to think of it, Hikigaya-kun, you played a very important role in the defeat of the Katsuragi faction." Sakayanagi Arisu seemed to finally be ready to get into the topic, and smiled and said, "I told you at the beginning that if you can defeat the Katsuragi faction, I can fulfill any of your requests. Now you can make a wish! I am very much looking forward to what kind of wish you will make, Hikigaya-kun!"

"I wasn't the one who defeated the Katsuragi faction. What happened on the cruise ship was just a matter of course."

"Haha, you completely overthrew the Katsuragi faction just by going with the flow. This is what I am most looking forward to about you, Hikigaya-kun."

"..."

Noticing Sakayanagi Arisu's bright eyes full of interest, Hikigaya realized that this guy was just trying to tease him.

The other party had proposed this condition not in order to force me to take action to defeat the Katsuragi faction, but just to see what kind of demands I would make.

However, the current situation is just what Hikigaya wants.

Since Sakayanagi voluntarily gave him the opportunity to realize his wish, he also gave the answer he wanted as the other party wished.

"Sakayanagi...you said before that you knew Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, right?" Hikigaya asked the girl next to him a question that caught her off guard, "Can you tell him who he is?"

Chapter 440: White Room! Ayanokouji's True Identity!

"Can you tell me who Ayanokouji is?"

Hikigaya expressed to Sakayanagi the confusion that had been accumulating in his heart for a long time.

A whole semester has passed since he came to this school. Hikigaya has become familiar with many people in this school and has learned many unknown secrets.

But to him, most people and things are just boring piles and will not affect his mentality.

The only thing that is a little different is the person named Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.

Among the first-year students, the one that Hikigaya finds most unpredictable and instinctively wary of is Ayanokouji, who seems to have no extra activities but is actually influencing everything behind the scenes.

Originally, although Hikigaya was aware of Ayanokouji's unusualness and knew that he was hiding his strength, he didn't think it was anything to worry about.

Because he himself has a similar personality and doesn't like to draw attention to himself, he has a preconceived notion that Ayanokouji also doesn't want to be noticed like himself.

However, the two exams on the uninhabited island and the cruise ship during the summer vacation made Hikigaya realize how dangerous Ayanokouji is.

In order to achieve his goal, the other party will do anything to achieve his goal. He is the most inhumane and dangerous person in this school who will do anything to achieve his goal!

Even Hikigaya could not easily tolerate Ayanokouji's behavior, and even had the idea of ​​becoming his enemy.

Of course, Hikigaya would not treat others as enemies for no reason. That would be troublesome and lack a subjective sense of responsibility.

If many things were not done by Ayanokouji himself, or if many things were not done intentionally by Ayanokouji himself, and the other party was just forced to do so, perhaps everything could still be eased.

It is for this reason that Hikigaya asked Sakayanagi Arisu such a question, hoping to learn the truth about Ayanokouji as an individual from Sakayanagi, who obviously has a lot of information.

From this, we can also determine what attitude we need to take towards Ayanokouji!

"..."

When hearing Hikigaya's question, Arisu Sakayanagi did not answer immediately.

She just silently took a sip of the coffee in front of her, her eyes slightly closed as if she was savoring the deliciousness of the coffee, and seemed to be thinking about the question raised by Hikigaya.

After a while, the girl opened her eyes slightly, and a smile appeared on her lips: "You really asked a good question, Hikigaya-kun."

"If this question cannot be answered, that's OK."

If Arisu Sakayanagi couldn't answer his question, it meant that Ayanokouji's existence was 100% related to some special organization that he couldn't imagine.

With his almost exaggerated physical fitness and knowledge reserves, he might be an agent trained by some country, a spy for the FBI or CIA...

If that happens, Hikigaya will definitely not have anything to do with Ayanokouji anymore.

He had no intention of committing suicide.

After all, this is just a fight between students. The worst that can happen is expulsion. There is no need to risk your life here.

However, Hikigaya could not imagine that Ayanokouji was a dangerous person specially sent by some organization.

After all, that guy's behavior was too Buddhist, and it was impossible to tell that he had any special purpose.

And although this Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Development High School is special, it is just a place to train students. It is not necessary to have anything to do with such a sci-fi setting...

This isn't a spy movie.

While Hikigaya was having complicated thoughts, Sakayanagi Arisu made a decision after a brief contemplation and said slowly: "Well, this is not something that cannot be told to others. Especially if you know it, Hikigaya-kun, you won't tell it casually."

"You really trust me, even though I don't even know the exact situation."

"This is your unique sense of security, Hikigaya-kun."

"You're saying this just like when you're chatting with a friend and saying my girlfriend will never cheat on you and that she looks very secure."

"I'm not mocking you for being timid."

"You've already said it..."

A little annoyed by Sakayanagi's annoying attitude, Hikigaya looked at him helplessly, waiting for him to tell the truth about Ayanokouji.

And Sakayanagi Arisu didn't keep the secret and spoke quickly:

"Regarding Ayanokouji's identity, let me tell you a story. There was once a man who started from scratch and entered the Japanese political world. He gained a high level of power and status, but unfortunately, due to his lack of background and strength, he ultimately failed miserably and lost everything."

"In order to make a comeback and to make up for the mistakes he made before, he decided to create a being stronger than himself. In order to obtain more chess pieces, he cooperated with the government and set up a special training organization called White Room in the name of creating more special talents."

"In that White House institution, children will undergo a great deal of unimaginable learning and competition at a very young age. Each participant needs to receive education beyond anyone's imagination at a young age, and constantly eliminate other participants in the competition mechanism of raising Gu to become the final product."

"But unfortunately, this plan is not so easy to succeed. Artificially creating an all-round genius is not something that can be easily achieved. Therefore, the White Room's experiments have not been able to produce truly successful experimental products until that person appeared..."

Upon hearing Sakayanagi Arisu's narration, Hikigaya's first reaction was that he was listening to a story.

After all, the other party's description sounds so unrealistic.

If this wasn't an American blockbuster or an anime novel, he would have suspected that there was something wrong with his brain.

Funded by state agencies, experiments were conducted privately in an attempt to create an all-round genius?

Are the leaders of this country out of their minds?

Who on earth agreed to approve such an outrageous plan?

You know, there are huge differences in people's brains. The difference between smart people and ordinary people is so great that it even makes people doubt whether they are the same species.

Even if you stuff ten thousand books on the theory of relativity into a child's head, it's impossible to turn him into Einstein, right?

What's more, even if this crazy plan can really be realized, will the people trained in this way really be geniuses who can serve the country, rather than cynical potential terrorists?

Hikigaya had read some books on education, and he was very clear that children's thinking was very immature. Normal education should deny this immaturity, and use education and practice to help children mature little by little, get rid of their psychological imperfections, and grow into qualified adults.

However, the White House Project does the exact opposite. At an age when children should be receiving intellectual education and developing sensibility and kindness, it forces knowledge and skills that are unacceptable to ordinary people into their completely immature minds, and even wants to cultivate artificial geniuses.

To be honest, this approach is most likely to create not geniuses but extremist lunatics.

The Japanese government may want to artificially cultivate Einstein, but Hikigaya feels that this plan is likely to produce Hitler.

As expected of the Japanese government that has never been liquidated after World War II, the genes of militarism are still deeply rooted in the hearts of those politicians.

However, in this way, Hikigaya could completely understand why Ayanokouji was so abnormal and why he was so disgusted.

If Ayanokouji is a part of the White House Project and the only successful person in the White House Project, then he has never received a normal education since birth, and his brain does not have the emotions and rationality that a human should have. He has only been constantly stuffed with various knowledge and skills.

In the Baiwu hell of survival of the fittest, what the other party will learn is definitely not "living in harmony with others", but "using all means to protect themselves and eliminate others".

There is now a reasonable explanation for what happened on the uninhabited island and the cruise ship.

It's really funny if you think about it carefully. The Japanese government put so much thought into creating such a complicated thing, but in the end they only created a guy like Ayanokouji with a distorted world view?

The future of this country is indeed dark.

"Speaking of which, there is another question." Hikigaya looked at Sakayanagi, "If what you said is true, then why did Ayanokouji come to this school? Since he is a successful experiment of the White House, shouldn't he be treated as a treasure by the country and trained as the next generation of successors?"

Hikigaya was full of sarcasm when he said this.

Because he didn't think that a guy like Ayanokouji was a successful experiment at all. If someone like Ayanokouji were really allowed to be the leader of a country, Japan would probably rush into fascism again and start World War III.

If that happened, he would definitely flee the country with his sister and go to an uninhabited island to live a shameless and lawless life!

Sakayanagi had no idea what was going on in Hikigaya's mind, so she just answered silently:

"The reason is simple, because what the government wanted from the beginning was not individual survivors, but a complete industrial assembly line that could continuously create outstanding talents. After several years of cultivation, the White House Project only had one successful product, Ayanokouji, which disappointed the Japanese government. Coupled with some political struggle factors, the Japanese government finally terminated its cooperation with the White House, which also caused the White House's managers to lose financial support and the plan was interrupted."

"In that case..."
