Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

The moment the relay race started, Ayanokouji rushed out of the track at an extremely exaggerated speed, leaving the other students behind by a long distance.

This scene shocked most of the people watching the game. Even the students in Class D were frightened and at a loss.

"That is……"

Horikita Manabu frowned. He seemed to have some impression of Ayanokouji's existence, but this time he was really surprised by the other party's performance.

Hikigaya was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Ayanokouji to take the initiative to expose his abilities.

It seems that the situation of Class D is too bad, so he wants to try to reverse it by his own strength... Of course, it is also possible that the other party simply wants to show off.

All of a sudden, thanks to Ayanokouji's extraordinary performance, the other students in Class D were also aroused by their desire to win, and they all ran as fast as they could.

I don’t know whether it was good or bad, but the baton was passed very quickly in Class D. When it arrived at Hikigaya, the other classes in the grade were still more than one period behind.

"It seems your class isn't completely useless after all."

Horikita Manabu smiled and glanced at Hikigaya, as if to say, "So what if I let you run first?"

Facing the provocation from the student council president, Hikigaya couldn't help but ask, "If our class wins, will you go and apologize to your sister?"

"can."

Horikita Manabu nodded very calmly, without even proposing any negative conditions.

Faced with the student council president's arrogant attitude, Hikigaya couldn't help but feel a desire to win.

So he started running as fast as he could as soon as Hirata passed the baton to him!

Since he had been resting the whole day and had hardly participated in many competitions, he now had almost all of his physical strength retained, which gave him some confidence in winning.

However, before he could run halfway with confidence, a lightning-fast figure rushed up from behind at an extremely fast speed.

"Gan!"

Before he could utter a second word, Hikigaya watched Horikita Manabu cross the finish line at a speed beyond his imagination.

Faced with this result, Hikigaya had no time to think about anything and could only sigh.

These brother and sister are really awkward.

……

"Ayanokouji, you're running too fast!"

"You were always letting me down before!"

“It’s simply too much!”

After the game, all the students in Class D surrounded Ayanokouji, with a look of surprise on their faces.

"Nothing, I just performed a little better, and I happen to be good at this kind of sprint." Ayanokouji himself seemed to have expected this situation and he calmly fooled it away.

In contrast, Hikigaya's performance was so poor that the people in Class D were too embarrassed to come over to comfort him, but they didn't complain too much.

After all, his level was limited to begin with, and being able to get second place was already an exceptional performance.

Of course, the happiness of the students in Class D only lasted for a short while.

Although the relay race was saved by Ayanokouji's exceptional performance, it was destined to be unable to cover up the overall decline, and the atmosphere in Class D was still in its worst state.

"It's almost time to announce the results."

The school operation is to announce the results at the same time as the closing ceremony.

All the students looked at the huge electronic bulletin board.

"Well, from now on, we will announce the results of this year's sports festival—"

The numbers divided into red and white groups on the electronic bulletin board began to count, and the values ​​increased.

The total score of all thirteen events, the winning group is...

"Red Team wins" was announced.

The competition was very fierce, and the red team of the 乆DA Alliance won.

All twelve classes are divided into three groups, and their representations are shown together, with the scores of each class displayed one by one.

The first-grade results were also released quickly.

First place, Class A, Grade 1

2nd place, Class B, Grade 1

Third place, Class C, Grade 1

Fourth place, Class D, Grade 1

A very sequential result.

As expected, the former Class B won the victory. As it was also the red group, the victory went a step further and would increase the class points by 150 at once.

The situation of the second-place student from Class C is a bit bad. Not only can he not earn any class points in the White Group, but he will also be deducted 100 points.

The same thing happened to the third-placed former Class A, which had 150 points deducted.

On the other hand, the fourth-placed Class D managed to obtain a "good result" without any points being deducted due to the victory of the Red Group. They were indeed lucky.

The students in Class D felt relaxed, but at the same time they also felt extremely helpless.

After all, failure is not scary, what is scary is not being able to understand the reasons for failure.

In this sports festival, Class D put on a disgraceful display, and the scene was extremely ugly.

Even though the students in Class D were already in a bad state, they still found it difficult to accept this reality.

After the exam, everyone looked at each other, fell silent, and said nothing.

Chapter 474: You are the traitor of Class D, Kushida!

The sports festival exam was over, and the students of Class D left the playground individually, exhausted and discouraged.

As the leader of Class D, Hirata Yosuke really wanted to say some encouraging words, but now he feels powerless.

Hikigaya mingled in the crowd, looking at the bustling people around him. On the surface, he seemed calm, but he was sighing secretly in his heart.

The situation of Class D was even worse than he had imagined. He originally just wanted to teach Horikita Suzune a lesson, but he didn't expect the level of chaos in this class to be far beyond his imagination. After just a little problem, the class collapsed in an instant.

It's like playing Jenga. Even if you take away a seemingly insignificant piece of brick, it instantly sets off a chain reaction and the entire structure becomes shaky.

Speaking of Jenga, Hikigaya is an expert at it.

He used to play Jenga by himself, and he could tear it apart but still keep it stable... What, you said that's not how you play Jenga?

This game is obviously played by one person!

In short, the situation of Class D is so serious that anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is on the verge of collapse. Hikigaya even suspects that the class may be disbanded at any time.

Although he didn't think this matter had anything to do with him, to be honest, he didn't really want Class D to really collapse, as that would bring him countless troubles.

Alas, it seems that I still need some help.

Hikigaya then wandered around and came to the health room, and saw Horikita Suzune lying on the bed in the health room with a gloomy face, as if she was cosplaying as a sickly girl.

Horikita's feet were wrapped in circles of bandages. The doctor's advice was obviously for her to lie in bed and rest as much as possible, but Horikita clearly didn't want to be so obedient. When Hikigaya came over, she was already wearing her shoes and ready to stand up from the bed.

"Hikigaya..."

Seeing Hikigaya coming, Horikita Suzune's expression immediately changed.

Obviously, one of the people she least wanted to see was Hikigaya, not only because Hikigaya had taken away her qualification to run the last leg, but also because he had once advised her to accept the current situation, but she did not listen and stubbornly wanted to do her best, which led to her current miserable situation.

Hikigaya understood Horikita Suzune's thoughts at a glance, so he didn't say much, but just sat quietly beside the bed in the health room.

"..."

The scene fell into silence for a moment.

In this cold and desolate atmosphere, Horikita sighed helplessly and spoke without seeming to want to make any more excuses: "I failed completely in this exam. If you want to mock me, just say it directly."

"Why do you think I want to mock you?"

The same thing happened during their previous meeting. Hikigaya didn't understand why Horikita Suzune was so hostile towards him.

But he thought back to what he had done in Class D and gradually realized the situation.

After all, Hikigaya has been a constant target of criticism in Class D so far, and there is no one who has not been criticized by him at one time or another. Horikita Suzune obviously holds that impression and thinks that Hikigaya is here to mock her.

"I would rather you ridicule me now."

Horikita Suzune took a deep breath and leaned back on the hospital bed.

The complete failure of this sports festival had completely crushed her. No matter how stubborn or clumsy she was, when the cruel result lay before her, she still deeply realized her own stupidity and what a huge mistake she had made.

In that case, isn't this a good opportunity to attack Horikita Suzune hard?

Having been tortured by the other party on a daily basis, Hikigaya had long been thinking about revenge, and naturally did not want to miss this opportunity.

So he started to speak tentatively:

"Yes, you did a great job this time. Not only did you fail to make good decisions for the class, you even failed to take care of your own body. You wasted so many opportunities to gain points and successfully took last place. You were so stupid that it made me want to laugh!"

The moment Hikigaya finished speaking, he reflexively dodged backwards.

Except for the time when the other party was sick on the uninhabited island, every time he mocked her, he would inevitably be retaliated by the iron fist of this violent woman.

But what he didn't expect was that Horikita Suzune lying on the hospital bed didn't show any resentment or dissatisfaction. She could even be described as incredibly quiet.

“I really didn’t do well.”

The black-haired girl finally responded with a voice so soft that it was almost as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

Horikita Suzune had obviously learned enough of her lesson in this sports festival, so much so that she couldn't even utter a word of rebuttal.

Seeing the other party's obedient attitude, Hikigaya couldn't say anything serious and could only speak silently:

"So what are you going to do next? The D class issue and Ryuen's issue are both difficult to resolve, right?"

"I'll find a way." Horikita Suzune clenched her teeth, as if she had already made a plan. "Whether it's kneeling down to apologize or giving up my dignity, this is all I can do now."

"If you had realized this earlier, you wouldn't have ended up like this."

Hikigaya shook his head silently.

As the old saying goes, you won’t turn back until you hit the wall. Most people only realize the mistakes they have made after they hit the wall and experience failure.

But even if you realize all this, the mistakes you have made cannot be changed, and you can't easily turn back.

"……you're right."

Horikita Suzune struggled for a while, and finally sighed helplessly, "This time our class was really tricked by Ryuuen. Let's not talk about the spy thing, Ryuuen's plan was also quite bad. Not only did he deliberately target and hurt me, but he also angered Sudo-san and repeatedly made him mentally anxious, causing him to leave the group and be unwilling to participate in the battle, resulting in our class directly losing an ace."

Horikita had obviously reflected on it privately and realized how evil Ryuen Sho's actions were to torture Class D to this point.

"I can't escape responsibility." Horikita sighed silently, "If I could have seen Ryuen's strategy earlier, no, if I could have formulated a counterattack plan and led the class to respond as soon as Ryuen targeted our class, everything wouldn't have fallen to this point."

"You finally understand."

Seeing Horikita Suzune's reflection, Hikigaya confirmed that she had finally realized her true mistake.

In this case, Class D's defeat this time wouldn't be a big deal, at least it wouldn't be a complete loss.

At the same time, Horikita Suzune also forced herself to cheer up and said with a complicated expression: "Yes, I have understood. I was too obsessed with proving myself to my brother. It was obviously an exam for the whole class, but I only thought about my own performance from beginning to end. Not only did I fail to counter Ryuuen's plan, but I also watched Sudo-san withdraw, wasting important combat power."

"It was so miserable and unbearable. I was so stupid before that it was ridiculous!"

"..."

Seeing that Horikita had reflected on this matter to this extent, Hikigaya stopped talking.

Since some things are already understood by the parties involved, there is no need to argue about them any more, as it will only increase resentment.

What you should do at this time is just to wait for the other party to make the right judgment.

"I've made too many mistakes so far, but even so, I still want to climb into Class A. I'll do my best for this." Horikita Suzune struggled to get up from the bed and slowly looked at Hikigaya, "So next, can you witness my determination?"

"This……"

He didn't expect to get himself involved in this for no reason. To be honest, Hikigaya didn't want to get involved in anything anymore and just wanted to go back to the dormitory and sleep.

But looking at Horikita Suzune's determined eyes, he realized that it was obviously impossible for him to leave so easily, so he could only sigh helplessly and nodded.

After getting Hikigaya's consent, Horikita Suzune breathed a sigh of relief.
