Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

Hikigaya was quite moved by Katsuragi Kōhei's serious attitude and wanted to give him some face, but he also knew that if he relaxed here, all his efforts before would be in vain.

So he forced himself to show his sneer:

"That's really funny, Katsuragi. All the people in your class are holding you back, and you're still willing to speak up for them?"

"This has nothing to do with what you just said!" Katsuragi Kōhei seemed a little impatient, and his tone was clearly filled with resentment. "Our class may have made a lot of mistakes so far, but this is not a reason for a student from Class D like you to attack us."

"Tsk tsk, I heard that you, Katsuragi Kōhei, have a rigid personality, and it turns out to be true." Hikigaya couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, "Obviously, these guys have been secretly blaming you in their hearts and seeing you as the culprit for the decline of the class, but you are still willing to speak up for them, do you think they will be grateful to you in their hearts?!"

"..."

After Hikigaya finished speaking, the former Class A fell into silence.

These people didn't expect that Hikigaya would clearly point out what they were thinking, and their expressions suddenly became stiff and very complicated.

What they couldn't have expected was Katsuragi Kohei's subsequent reaction.

"There's nothing to do with this kind of thing."

Katsuragi Kōhei quickly responded to Hikigaya's words and sighed helplessly, "No matter what, we are all students in the same class. We all rise and fall together. The mistakes I made cannot be changed. No matter how they evaluate me, it is what I deserve."

"But Hikigaya, if you think that this is the end of our class, you are wrong. Even if we have made serious mistakes and fallen into the abyss, as long as we are still in this school, we can still climb back to our original position."

"It doesn't matter whether I lead this class or not, because the class is always a whole, and the victory of everyone is the only outcome to consider."

Katsuragi spoke his heartfelt words in one breath.

This was obviously what he originally wanted to say to the students in the former Class A.

But unfortunately, the students of the former Class A were full of dissatisfaction with him. The anger accumulated from several exams had consumed all of Katsuragi's reputation, making it impossible for him to even speak his mind to the students in the class.

Now, with Hikigaya's appearance as the villain, he has attracted all the hatred of the former Class A.

Kōhei Katsuragi's heartfelt words thoroughly entered the hearts of all the former Class A students.

This group of people originally regarded Kōhei Katsuragi as the culprit for the poor performance of the class, and regarded him as an enemy in order to unite the remaining students, but now they all showed expressions of shame.

After all, compared to their actions, Katsuragi's words can be said to be aboveboard.

In comparison, their behavior of trying to put all the blame on Katsuragi and keep themselves out of it was simply too low-level.

"What a great speech." Hikigaya admired Katsuragi's uprightness in his heart, but on the surface he continued to be sarcastic, "Unfortunately, even if you think so, who knows what the losers in your class think? You are a bunch of scattered and uncooperative rubbish, and you still want to win the exam, are you kidding me?"

As Hikigaya was talking, he became excited and gave a thumbs down sign.

"Come to think of it, I've long felt that you guys are most worthy of the name of Class D. Why don't you just lose this exam and go back to Class D!"

"you……"

Hikigaya's merciless words instantly angered the entire former Class A students.

These students, who were originally fighting each other because of the issues between the Katsuragi faction and the Sakayanagi faction, now all looked at him angrily, with a unified look of anger on their faces.

"Hikigaya?"

Although Katsuragi Kōhei was also shocked by Hikigaya's words, he always felt that there was something strange about the scene.

As the former leader of Class A, his vision is beyond the reach of ordinary students.

After just a brief thought, he realized why Hikigaya did all this, and he couldn't help but look over with a complicated expression.

However, Hashimoto Masayoshi had already seen through Hikigaya's plan, but was unable to stop it because the other party's conspiracy was too insidious.

Yes, Hikigaya's method of turning himself into the enemy of all the former Class A students in order to unite the former Class A was too sharp. Even Hashimoto could not think of any countermeasures at once, and could only watch as the trend of division of the former Class A was suddenly stopped.

All the former A-class students, whether they were from the Katsuragi faction or the Sakayanagi faction, were now all furious and determined, wanting only to win the next exam and give Hikigaya a hard time.

"Damn you, you dead fish eyes, clean your neck for us!" As a loyal henchman of Katsuragi Kōhei, although Totsuka Yahiko could not see the current situation clearly, it did not prevent him from roaring with momentum, "We will definitely not lose the next exam, and you will always be the D class!!"

"Yeah, don't underestimate us!"

"Just wait and see, dead fish eyes!"

"..."

The former Class A students were now furious, completely forgetting about the internal quarrels and divisions that had just occurred.

It can be said that Hikigaya single-handedly ended the division of the original Class A and created unprecedented unity in this class.

"It's so funny, what's the point of talking? If you can win by talking, then there's no point in competing." A smile appeared on Hikigaya's face, but he still didn't stop mocking, "No matter how loud you shout now, you scumbags will be defeated in the first round when we really compete later. Go buy some more diapers now to prevent you from peeing your pants later!"

"!!!"

After these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the former Class A became even more turbulent.

Even though the top students were not good at swearing normally, they all started to use Zaun swear words and greeted Hikigaya in every possible way.

Seeing that the anger of the former Class A had been thoroughly aroused, Hikigaya simply decided to quit while he was ahead. Otherwise, he was worried that the former Class A would not be satisfied with venting their anger verbally, but would retaliate against him with actual actions.

Chapter 461 Sakayanagi: I am looking forward to Hikigaya's methods!

After Hikigaya finished his taunting and left gracefully, the anger of the former Class A students still had not subsided, and it was impossible for it to be subsided so easily.

Many students were filled with anger at the moment, and they couldn't wait to start the next game so that they could beat Class D and vent all their anger.

"Ahem." Seeing all this, Katsuragi Kōhei knew that Hikigaya was helping him and that he owed him a huge favor. "Then, let's start discussing the tactics for the next tug-of-war competition. According to the plan, we will arrange the formation according to the height difference to ensure that the students at the back will not fall. Let's use this as the optimal formation for training!"

"Okay, we believe you, Katsuragi!"

"We must not lose to Class D this time!!"

"That guy with the dead fish eyes must be taught a lesson!!!"

"..."

It was completely different from what happened before.

Originally, because of Hashimoto Masayoshi's troublemaking and the Sakayanagi faction's poor performance, nearly half of the students in the original Class A did not want to move even if Katsuragi proposed a reasonable strategy.

But now, due to Hikigaya's taunting, which attracted a lot of hatred, the students of the former Class A no longer cared about the internal struggle and only wanted to tear the enemy Class D apart as thoroughly as possible.

"Come on, let's have a match." Katsuragi took a deep breath and looked towards Hashimoto deliberately. "I believe that every student in the class will try their best to win. They won't deliberately give the victory to their opponents, right?!"

“Of course!!”

When Hashimoto Masayoshi saw Katsuragi diss him, he quickly responded with a firm expression.

Although he is the vanguard of the Sakayanagi faction, Hashimoto has always been a two-faced fence-sitter. He will fall to whichever side has more momentum without hesitation.

Right now, thanks to Hikigaya's actions, the Katsuragi faction's momentum has completely risen. He certainly can't risk incurring public wrath by taking the initiative to provoke these powerful guys in the class.

At the same time, in the lounge of the former Class A.

Masumi Kamuro looked at the scene in the distance with a look of surprise, and immediately reported the situation to Arisu Sakayanagi.

After hearing everything, Sakayanagi did not show any surprise, but her originally relaxed brows were noticeably raised a little.

"It looks like Hikigaya is planning to go against us." Kamuro Masumi said with a worried look on her face. She had witnessed the guy's terrifying ability with her own eyes, and she never expected that he would go against the Sakayanagi faction. She immediately showed panic, "This way, the plan to overthrow the Katsuragi faction may be in trouble."

"It's okay." Sakayanagi was not as panicked as Kamuro, and remained calm. "The Katsuragi faction is already on the decline. Even if this exam helps them regain a certain degree of cohesion, they are destined to not be able to stir up any more waves. As for Hikigaya, haha, I'm glad that he is willing to come and hinder me. It can be said that it makes my boring daily life interesting, and even a little exciting..."

"This……"

Seeing Sakayanagi Arisu's confident attitude, Kamuro Masumi felt a little more at ease.

However, when she thought of the method Hikigaya had just used, she still felt a clear wave of emotion in her heart.

Many thoughts flashed through her mind, but in the end Kamuro said nothing.

She just stared silently in the direction of Class D, and the face with dead eyes instinctively appeared in her mind.

……

The tug-of-war game is about to begin.

After resolving the internal strife problem, the former Class A has now become the most powerful class, far ahead of the other classes.

Different from the rules of the pole-tossing competition, the tug-of-war competition is divided into two classes against each other, with two classes facing each other twice, and the winner gets points.

The first round of grouping will be conducted in order of proximity, with Class A facing Class B, and Class C facing Class D.

Therefore, Class D's opponent is the former Class A.

"For some reason, those guys in Class C seem to be angry?" Hirata Yosuke noticed the situation in the class and looked confused. "They weren't like this before."

"Who knows?" Sudo Ken said with a nonchalant expression, laughing, "They are just a bunch of nerds, nothing to be afraid of!"

Of course, although he said he didn't care, Sudo still pretended to be nervous as if he was facing a powerful enemy.

The strategy of Class D is the same as that of the original Class A. They are also arranged in order of height, with the shorter ones in front and the taller ones in the back.

Since Koenji was not there, the tallest person in Class D was undoubtedly Sudo Ken. He had absolute confidence in his own strength, as he calmly finished last.

The two classes quickly stood in position, and Hikigaya was assigned to the middle because of his height.

Before the tug-of-war even started, the former Class A looked over aggressively, as if they were going to completely devour the opponent in front of them.

"Class D, clean up and wait for us! We will never lose this game!!"

"Yeah, yeah, even if we become Class C, we can't just do whatever we want!"

"You are trash!!"

"..."

Most of the people in Class D didn't expect that the former Class A would mock them like this, and their momentum was so shocking. For a moment, they all showed panic expressions.

Hirata Yosuke could only take the initiative to speak, and mustered his courage: "Don't panic, everyone. Our formation is flawless, and our strength is not weaker than our opponent. As long as we work hard, we will definitely win!"

"..."

Thanks to Hirata Yosuke's words, Class D managed to save some face. In fact, they were not afraid of the former Class A and quickly regrouped.

"Let's go, everyone!"

Seeing that the referee was about to blow the whistle, Hirata immediately spoke up and warned everyone.

The next second—

"start!"

Following the referee's command, the two classes began to pull the rope at the same time.

"One two three! One two three!"

Due to the prior discussion, both classes chose to use commands to maintain the rhythm of tug-of-war to ensure that everyone could work together.

Both sides put all their strength into the fight, and for a while, there was no clear winner.

Hikigaya was mixed in the crowd, with classmates in front and behind him. He really didn't have the courage to slack off, so he could only use all his strength.

"One two three!! One two three!!"

After the game entered a stalemate, both sides could only rely on momentum to maintain the balance of the game.

Both Class D and the former Class A have already exerted their full strength.

The two sides gradually moved beyond the contest of strength and entered the stage of confronting each other with momentum.

"Come on, everyone, we must not lose!!"

Hirata Yosuke felt that his team's momentum was gradually weakening, so he spoke up immediately, trying to boost his own morale.

At this moment, Hikigaya took advantage of the changing situation, loosened one hand, and gave an upside-down thumbs-up to the former Class A students in the distance!

For a moment, most of the students in the original Class A saw his arrogant taunting, and the anger on their faces even exceeded the limits of their bodies.

"boom!"

In just a moment, the tug-of-war rope swayed in the direction of the original Class A and was dragged directly over!

The students in Class D had never expected that the opponent's strength would increase so much all of a sudden. They had no time to react and were at a disadvantage.

"Ahhh! It hurts, it hurts!"

Ike Kanji and others who were holding the rope at the back screamed. They had never intended to try their best to win the game, so there was no possibility for them to fight against this desperate situation.

In addition, in a tug-of-war with equal strength, the key to victory or defeat is only the difference in will.

Therefore, the final result was not surprising, which was the victory of the original Class A.

"How could this happen? Did you guys try hard enough?"

Sudo Ken could not accept the result of defeat, and immediately yelled at the students in the class.
