Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

It seemed that the only problem of the opponent was that he did not expect that someone in Class D would betray him, which led to him being targeted by Class C.

However, if someone knows Horikita Suzune better, they will be able to sense the discomfort in her.

Because from the beginning to the middle of the sports festival exam, Horikita Suzune's entire focus was on getting good grades.

If you want Class D to win, it is natural for the individuals to get good results, but if you only focus on this point, it will undoubtedly lead to many problems.

The betrayal of Kikyo Kushida is undoubtedly one of them.

Under normal circumstances, Horikita Suzune would be smart enough to realize that someone in her class had betrayed her and that she was being targeted by other classes.

At this time, whether it is exchanging substitutes or giving up the competition depending on the conditions, it is a more reasonable approach, at least it can preserve sufficient combat power.

However, Horikita Suzune did not do so. Rather than being unaware that there was a traitor and that she was being targeted, it would be better to say that after realizing this, she still desperately wanted to show herself in this sports festival.

Through this, Hikigaya was able to see through what Horikita Suzune had been hiding.

Just like Hirata Yosuke concealed his real purpose of preserving the unity of the class at all costs by promoting Class D, Horikita Suzune tried to show herself as much as possible at the sports festival, but she was just using the interests of the class to conceal her real purpose.

Horikita Suzune tries her best to show her abilities in the sports festival. Her purpose is not to help Class D get more points, but to make her brother Horikita Manabu, the student council president, face herself. She hopes that her excellent performance can be recognized by her brother.

This is the true thought hidden beneath Horikita Suzune's appearance.

The reason is that Horikita once desperately wanted to get the last baton in the relay race. At that time, she had already shown an attitude of putting her brother's existence above the interests of the class.

And this is undoubtedly the source of all the confusion.

How to say it, although he had long anticipated Horikita Suzune's immaturity, when her immaturity was truly revealed in front of him, Hikigaya still couldn't help but feel helpless.

Human beings are always stupid creatures, especially when they refuse to admit their own stupidity.

However, Hikigaya can also empathize with Horikita Suzune. After all, although human rationality can work most of the time, there is only one exception, and that is family.

Only when facing family members, rationality often fails to work, and emotions and sensibility will unconsciously occupy the upper hand of IQ.

Of course, Horikita's situation is completely different from Hikigaya's.

Hikigaya dotes on his sister too much and wants to pour all his kindness, trust and affection into Komachi.

Horikita was too eager for love from her brother. She had never received any attention from Horikita Manabu, so she almost obsessively pursued a little affection from her brother.

Although they were two completely different situations, Hikigaya could inexplicably empathize with him.

Perhaps this is another kind of resonance he has as an older brother.

As he was thinking this, he suddenly saw two familiar figures walking slowly towards him from not far away in the corridor. The old-fashioned boy wearing glasses in front of him looked over and said coldly, "What are you hanging around here at this time?"

"President?"

Seeing Horikita Manabu and Tachibana Akane appearing in front of him, Hikigaya was instinctively a little panicked, thinking that they were going to assign him some kind of work task.

But after seeing the other party's indifference to him, he realized that he was overthinking, so he quickly said: "Where is your sister... Horikita Suzune? Have you seen her?"

"As for Sister Suzune, she's at the other end of the corridor."

Senior Akane Tachibana spoke with a smile. She had always been nice to Hikigaya and now she was directly pointing him in the direction.

Seeing this, Hikigaya quickly thanked him and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, Horikita Manabu suddenly looked over and spoke slowly:

"Then I'll leave the child to you."

"This……"

Hikigaya couldn't help but turn around, not expecting Horikita to say such things to him.

Although Horikita Manabu showed no emotion on the surface, as an older brother, Hikigaya could feel the emotion of worry from him.

This pair of arrogant siblings is really difficult to deal with.

Hikigaya smiled and nodded, agreeing.

……

Walking through the corridor, Hikigaya found a vending machine nearby, so he went over and bought two cans of ice soda from it.

Although he likes coffee, it's not something that works all the time.

On hot days like this after exercise, soda can often bring a cooling feeling.

After taking out two cans of drinks, Hikigaya was about to continue looking for someone, but unexpectedly he saw a slender black-haired figure limping towards him from a distance.

Horikita Suzune seemed to be here to buy drinks as well. Her foot injury had not healed yet, but she had no intention of stopping to rest.

The moment she saw Hikigaya, the girl's face showed obvious surprise, and she even wanted to escape.

Faced with this situation, Hikigaya had no choice but to take the initiative and speak:

"Horikita."

"..."

Seeing Hikigaya's reaction, which clearly showed that he had something to do with her, Horikita Suzune's expression changed slightly, and confusion appeared in her eyes.

Seeing this, Hikigaya was worried that the other party was too depressed, so he didn't choose the right time to speak. But since the words had already been said, there was obviously no going back.

So he could only pass the soda over silently:

"Uh, well, you want a drink?"

"Ugh."

Faced with Hikigaya's active attempt to find topics to talk about, Horikita Suzune knew that she could no longer avoid it and could only stand still and nod slightly.

The two of them then each took a bottle of soda and sat on the bench in the corridor. Hikigaya watched Horikita put the drink against her cheek, as if to cool off.

He then opened the soda and swallowed the drink despite the bubbles.

The whole process was very long, but the scene was very silent.

Realizing that Horikita Suzune was so devastated that she didn't even have the strength to speak, Hikigaya had to take the initiative to ask, "What happened?"

"..."

Faced with his obvious question, Horikita was obviously shocked.

She looked away in a slightly panicked manner, as if she didn't want to talk about her suffering, but she instinctively wanted to find an outlet for her emotions that had been suppressed for so long.

In the end, she could only speak with uneasiness: "Long Yuan just saw me."

"Ah."

Hikigaya didn't show any surprise, which made Horikita feel relieved. She continued, "He said that I caused Kinoshita's injury on purpose, and he also found many excuses to try to get the school to convict me of intentional injury. Kinoshita was the ace of the former Class C, and her physical fitness is indeed much better than mine. If she and I were injured together, no one would think that it was the former Class C who did it on purpose, but it was my problem."

"indeed so."

Hikigaya nodded slightly, realizing Ryuuen's approach this time.

In essence, this is similar to the chaos that Sudo Ken encountered at the beginning of the school year. Ryuuen unilaterally found fault and used various conditions to attack his opponent without any evidence.

Kinoshita's physical strength far exceeded Horikita's, and the two died together. No one thought that the former Class C would do this on purpose, but rather that Class D took advantage.

As a result, Class D will inevitably suffer a little loss in the fair appeal.

"If what Ryuen said is true, all my grades will be revoked. Not only will I be unable to participate in all subsequent competitions, but I will also be attacked at the student council. It's a mess that I can't get rid of." Horikita Suzune gritted her teeth, "And then not only will Class D be in trouble, but my brother will also be dragged into it, affecting his reputation."

See the picture poorly.

Horikita Suzune finally revealed her true thoughts in the end.

For Horikita Suzune, all the previous reasons are actually far less important than the last one.

If Ryuuen's plan succeeds, what Horikita Suzune is most worried about is not herself and Class D, but that as Horikita Manabu's younger sister, she will bring disgrace to her brother.

She wanted to avoid this at all costs, which was why she was so distressed.

"What did Ryuen say?" Hikigaya knew that Ryuen must have put forward some conditions, so he asked.

Horikita Suzune said awkwardly: "Ryuuen wants me to pay one million points as compensation, and also wants me to kneel down and kowtow to apologize, so that they can pretend that nothing happened."

"It's a very light condition."

Hikigaya didn't think there was anything wrong with the conditions proposed by Ryuuen, and even thought they were too easy.

If it were him, he would probably just give the money and kowtow on the spot and be done with it.

But to Horikita, these were ironic words. She gritted her teeth and said, "So you are just here to mock me?"

"You think I'm being sarcastic..."

Hikigaya looked at Horikita Suzune with disappointment.

He realized that even after so many setbacks and failures, the other party still did not see clearly what mistakes he had made.

And in fact, it was true. After taking a deep breath, Horikita Suzune looked at him and said, "Hikigaya, you must have a way to solve this mess. If you are recognized by your brother, you will definitely be able to find a solution..."

"Unfortunately, I don't have such a good method."

Hikigaya shook his head calmly, even cruelly, not giving Horikita Suzune any room to struggle, because she had disappointed him greatly.

At this point, he realized that if he wanted to make the other party see the reality, he would need to use more cruel means.

Otherwise, Horikita would never be able to move forward.

Chapter 472: Three people from Class D gave up a match? What the hell is this?

"..."

Hikigaya's almost cold words made Horikita Suzune fall into silence. She obviously didn't expect Hikigaya to have such a cold attitude, and she didn't know how to react for a moment.

Hikigaya had expected this.

Horikita Suzune is a stubborn person, and her over-inflated self-esteem often makes her unable to make the right judgment even though she knows what the right choice is.

So he took the initiative to speak:

"Long Yuan has set up a deadly trap for you. Either you give him one million points, or you give up giving points and go to the Student Union to plead with him. I can't give you a third option."

"This……"

Hikigaya's words deepened Horikita's distress.

The girl's already frowned brows became even darker, and her delicate face suddenly became at a loss, filled with helplessness and anxiety.

"I understand." Horikita Suzune finally sighed silently, "I will borrow points and make up one million for him."

"..."

After hearing Horikita Suzune's reply, Hikigaya appeared calm on the surface, but in his heart he was speechless.

What do you understand?

Is it necessary to give this one million points?

Although they had guessed what Horikita Suzune might do, some people in Hikigaya were still nervous when the other party was willing to pay one million rather than confront the Ryuen Court.

He could understand Horikita Suzune's feelings. She probably didn't want to trouble Horikita Manabu, and didn't want to lose face in front of Horikita Manabu and bring discredit to her brother, so she was unwilling to confront Ryuen Sho in court.

Although it was understandable, he didn't think it was a good choice at all.

There are obviously simpler options, but you choose the worst one.

This guy's brother complex is a bit too serious!

"Are you really going to pay a million points?"

Hikigaya frowned and tested Horikita.

Horikita Suzune frowned, as if she had sensed Hikigaya's attitude, but she still spoke stubbornly: "What else? No matter what, I will not cause trouble to my brother! This is absolute!"

"Okay, so how are you going to borrow one million points?"

Hikigaya glanced at Horikita Suzune coldly. His disappointment was beyond words after the other party made such a stupid decision.

When Horikita Suzune heard his question, her expression suddenly became stiff, and she spoke with difficulty: "There will always be a way."

"Oh, I don't think you can find anyone to lend you points."

Horikita Suzune is an extremely autistic person, and her popularity is even worse than Hikigaya himself. She doesn't have any friends who can lend points to her.

She seemed to be aware of this herself, and as her emotions were shaken, she instinctively looked towards Hikigaya.

"Don't look for me. I don't have that many points."
