Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

The next day, Hikigaya dragged his tired feet to school.

Recently, Horikita Manabu forced him to pull her along every time she exercised, causing him to wake up every morning as if he had been fucked by some macho man at night, and he was exhausted just from getting out of bed.

After that, every step on the way to the classroom was torture. He felt like a pilgrim struggling to move forward in the desert. He wondered if there was a country of women where he could rest for a while.

Enter the classroom.

Hikigaya came to his seat in the classroom which was like the eye of a typhoon, completely empty all around, like a no-man's land, and his classmates refused to even approach him.

Although usually my seat is extremely subtle, like an independent space, a forgotten zone, the atmosphere today feels inexplicably worse.

For example, it’s like a male magical girl appears in a magical girl team. No matter how hard it is for everyone to accept him, it’s hard for them to accept him quickly, and there will be a subtle sense of incongruity when they look at him afterwards.

With complicated thoughts in his mind, Hikigaya sat silently in the middle of the classroom.

He soon discovered that the looks people gave him were very strange.

The people in the class looked over here vaguely, not really paying attention to anything, but deliberately using their eyes to say "I don't want to pay any attention to you."

What the hell?

What kind of drama is this?

Hikigaya originally thought that these gazes were directed at him, but when he looked up, he found that the focus was not on him, but on Horikita Suzune who was behind him.

So, he understood everything in an instant and realized what an awkward situation the girl sitting behind him was in.

Hikigaya had had similar experiences before.

At that time, he felt like a panda in the exhibition area, living a life of being stared at and pointed at by people every day.

If Hikigaya's heart had not been ravaged by all kinds of things in his long life and had not been honed to a diamond-level toughness, I'm afraid he would not have been able to withstand such terrible school violence.

However, although diamonds are completely resistant to scratches, they can still be easily shattered if hit hard with a hammer.

Didn't Jojo's Bizarre Adventure use the title "Diamond is Unbreakable" in the fourth part? Practice has proved that it is a lie.

Although Hikigaya has a heart as hard as a diamond, that experience still brought him enough pain and left a deep psychological trauma in his heart.

Therefore, he couldn't help but be very curious. What would Horikita Suzune think when she encountered the same campus cold violence as himself and was ignored by classmates?

Confused, Hikigaya turned around pretending to be nonchalant and said slowly, "Well, have you been studying hard these past two days? The midterm exam should be coming soon, right?"

"Are you testing me?"

Horikita Suzune answered slowly.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but although the other party's words are still filled with indifference and dissatisfaction, compared to the past, there is a hint of "relief" in them.

"Uh, I just heard that you invited people who failed to attend the study session." Hikigaya pretended to be completely unaware.

"That was not my invitation. The organizer was Kikyo Kushida. I just went to participate."

"That's it..."

Seeing that Horikita Suzune was willing to talk to him about this, Hikigaya roughly confirmed that Horikita Suzune was not too affected by this matter.

She is indeed a sharp-tongued weirdo, oh no, now she can be promoted to the queen of sharp-tongued tongue!

Could it be that the other party's heart is made of adamantium?

Almost invulnerable!

Just when Hikigaya suspected that Horikita Suzune was a cold-blooded robot underneath her appearance, the girl spoke to herself:

"I have always only considered myself. I think socializing is meaningless, so I have never considered others. I think it is just that I don't want to do it, not that it is difficult to do. But this time, I realized that I was wrong..."

"When I was teaching these people, I realized that there are huge differences between people. Even if I let them avoid failing this time, they will immediately fall into the same dilemma next time. In this way, they will have to repeat the same behavior, but they will not be lucky every time. Sooner or later, they will fail completely."

"Teaching others is both ineffective and unnecessary."

Hikigaya was slightly stunned by Horikita Suzune's self-centered conversation. He didn't expect such words without any willpower to come out of her mouth.

"what do you mean?"

"What I mean is that it would be better for these people who are holding us back to leave now."

Horikita Suzune came to the final conclusion that as long as there was no failing group, there was no need to spend effort teaching them to read, and the class average score would also rise.

Rather than being looked down upon by these stupid people, it is better to give up on them completely and save yourself a lot of trouble and effort.

"..."

Hikigaya fell silent at Horikita Suzune's words.

Only then did he realize that Horikita Suzune was not made of steel that was invulnerable to swords and guns. She was also an ordinary person who would be frustrated, lost, helpless, and would give up.

Because of the poor performance of the failing group, Horikita Suzune has completely developed a bad mentality towards teaching poor students, and there is no way to adjust back in a short period of time.

Unfortunately, this is not what Hikigaya wants to see.

If Horikita Suzune fell here and gave up on the others, she would be doomed to not be able to become the leader of Class D, let alone compete with other classes.

So, after a brief consideration, he said, "If you come to this conclusion, then I don't think there is any problem."

"what?"

When Horikita Suzune said this, she simply wanted to find someone to talk to.

But she didn't expect that Hikigaya, the only listener, would choose to support her.

"Do you think my choice is correct?"

"I don't know about that. Who can know whether a choice related to the future is correct?"

Hikigaya showed a terrible smile on his face and said coldly: "I just hope to see you make such a choice. After all, if you do this, you will become the real bottom of the society like me. Isn't it true that people are like this? Instead of seeing others move towards the better, I hope that others will fall like me, and even take the blame for me..."

"You guy."

Horikita heard Hikigaya's sarcastic words, and a shadow fell on her face.

But she still had no intention of changing her mind.

Hikigaya saw this and realized that he, the 'evil man', had not done enough, so he sneered and said:

"Horikita, do you really think you are more noble than Sudo and the others? In my opinion, you and those guys are just birds of a feather."

Chapter 110: Penguin, you are actually two-timing?

"What did you say?!"

Hearing Hikigaya's sudden ridicule, Horikita Suzune was like a suddenly enraged lioness, emitting an extremely terrifying aura.

"Hikigaya, I thought you were the only one who could understand me, or rather, you should be different from those boring guys... No, it must be like this, that person's choice should not be wrong." Horikita Suzune stared at Hikigaya with eyes wide open, her eyes were shining with dazzling warmth, "But, I didn't expect you to compare me with those trash, it's really hard to understand what's wrong with your brain."

"..."

Hikigaya was startled by the sudden burst of pressure from Horikita Suzune.

It can be said that my little heart is beating wildly.

However, at this time, Hikigaya would not back down. He could not be overwhelmed by the aura exuded by Horikita Suzune.

After all, right now Horikita Suzune herself has not accepted her own ideas, and she is filled with strong doubts and confusion in her heart.

Such a Horikita Suzune has lost her most powerful ability in the past, which instead gives Hikigaya the opportunity to convince the other party.

As the saying goes, if one soldier is raging, there will be raging generals in the nest.

If Horikita Suzune wants to lead Class D in the future, she must not have any confusion in her heart, nor should she have any doubts about herself. Otherwise, cowardly acts will appear again and again on the other party, and will also affect Class D.

"Horikita, I'm not going to deny your idea."

It was rare for Hikigaya to straighten his back in front of the angry Horikita Suzune. Perhaps it was because he had received private training from Horikita Manabu these days, and he had become a little more confident than before.

"I understand that you look down on Sudo and the others who hate studying, because you hate people who give up halfway and don't want to accept people who give up before they even start."

"But, Horikita, have you ever thought that when you gave up on saving them and letting them study, you also chose to give up. Aren't you becoming like them, choosing to end before you even start?"

"..."

Hikigaya's calm words caused Horikita Suzune to fall silent.

She obviously didn't expect Hikigaya to say such reasonable words, and she fell into confusion for a moment.

"Even if you say so, these two things cannot be compared." Horikita Suzune tried to refute, "I don't have the obligation to teach them to read. On the contrary, learning is their own business. If they don't want to study from the bottom of their hearts, I alone can't change them."

Hikigaya nodded. "That's right. However, to get someone to do something doesn't necessarily mean you need to change them. Often, there's just something wrong with the point of entry."

"What did you say?"

Hikigaya's words made Horikita Suzune suspicious. She couldn't understand how this guy in front of her could say such a thing.

Hikigaya didn't say more about this. He didn't want to tell Horikita Suzune all the answers directly, but hoped that she could find the solution to the problem on her own.

Thus, the conversation between the two came to an abrupt end. Horikita Suzune lowered her head to read her textbook, completely ignoring what Hikigaya said.

……

During the following class time, everything seemed very calm, just like in the past.

However, the atmosphere in the class was indeed different from the past, which Hikigaya could feel directly.

At least, the area where he and Horikita were located had inexplicably become a vacuum zone in the class, completely losing all contact with the outside world.

Why do I feel like I'm being blamed for no reason?

When Hikigaya looked helpless, he quietly observed Horikita Suzune behind him and found that there was no change on the girl's face, as if she was not affected at all.

However, for some reason, Hikigaya felt that he could inexplicably sense some changes in Horikita Suzune, as if the heroine in the early, middle and late stages of the animation suddenly gave people an unexpected impression.

During lunch break, Hikigaya wanted to go eat lunch alone.

But suddenly, two figures ran over from a distance and rushed directly in front of him.

Hikigaya discovered that these two were one of the "three idiots" in the class, Yamauchi Haruki and Ike Kanji. Their ferocious appearance was very similar to that of gorillas beating their chests, which made people inexplicably laugh.

Hikigaya didn't think he had ever provoked these two people, so he thought they were probably targeting Horikita Suzune.

But what surprised Hikigaya was that Yamauchi pointed directly at him and shouted, "Hikigaya, you bastard, you went on a date with the pretty girls from other classes in the library over the weekend, right?"

Ike Kanji also said loudly with an unwilling look on his face: "And someone saw another girl appearing in the library with you. You are actually cheating on two girls at the same time? No, including Horikita, a mere penguin can actually cheat on three girls at the same time. I am really envious. No, it is too abominable!"

The two people's crazy behavior quickly attracted the attention of other students in the class.

But after finding out it was an interaction between Sansa and Hikigaya, most people lost interest.

Only a certain Karuizawa Megumi with blonde hair in a ponytail and Sakura Airi who was sitting in the corner of the classroom with her head lowered, suddenly had different reactions.

These two idiots...

Hikigaya looked numb.

Honestly speaking, he really couldn't stand listening to this kind of conversation. If he were a character in a battle scene anime, he would definitely raise his fist and smash them on the head.

Unfortunately, this was reality, and Hikigaya could only endure the chatter of these two idiots and wait for it all to be over.

"Hikigaya, do you have anything to say?!" After criticizing for a while, Yamauchi Haruki finally returned to normal and questioned Hikigaya.

"Do I need to say anything?"

Hikigaya looked coldly at the idiot in front of him.

"What's your attitude?" A long time ago, Yamauchi and Hikigaya had a lot of conflicts, and they had even borrowed money from each other before.

Now it broke out again, and there was an inexplicable hint of anger in the air.

If Yamauchi was facing Horikita Suzune or Hirata Yosuke, he obviously wouldn't dare to say that, but facing Hikigaya, who was "lower in status than himself", he still showed great strength.

In response to this, Hikigaya was completely speechless. He never thought that these two guys would torture him for such a boring reason.

"Let's not talk about whether this matter has anything to do with you. Even if I really am cheating on you, so what? Do you want to judge me on behalf of the school rules?"

This is where Hikigaya's confidence comes from. He doesn't think he has done anything wrong.

These guys' jealousy is so ugly that their existence is really a mistake.

Oh, why not just give up this class and go find that guy Sakayanagi to support me.
