Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

And there is no doubt that this incident caused a sensation in the entire Class D.

"Is it true that what we learned is not included in the exam?"

"How could such a thing happen?!"

"Have the other classes known about this? All classes should be unified!"

"..."

For a moment, everyone in Class D looked at each other in bewilderment.

Basically, the questions for the midterm and final exams of the five subjects should be the same for each student each year. Otherwise, the criteria reflected in the point system will become unclear.

This means that if everything is like this, only Class D has not been informed of the change in the exam scope!

No one can accept such a reality!

After all, there are less than two weeks left until the midterm exam.

Everything I learned before was in vain. No one can easily accept such a thing.

Soon, some students went to the office to protest to their class teacher.

But the end result is a given.

Chabashira Sae didn't care about her behavior at all, and calmly told everyone, "Not being able to inform the students of the change in the exam scope was just a mistake, and as the homeroom teacher of this school, I am not obligated to be responsible for the grades of all students."

Under such circumstances, no matter how helpless the students in Class D were, they had no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit.

"This looks troublesome..."

Hikigaya looked at the chaotic class, and glanced at Horikita Suzune behind him as if unintentionally, wanting to see what attitude the other person would show towards this matter.

"Hmph." Although Horikita's tone was dissatisfied, she tried her best to keep herself calm, "I will further condense the scope of the new exam from now on."

Obviously, Horikita Suzune has grown a little and will not lose her composure easily anymore.

Although he is still far from the leader of Class D that Hikigaya hoped for, at least he is no longer the fragile and cold person he used to be.

So, Hikigaya looked at Sudo and others in the distance, and their enthusiasm also needed attention.

Just then, Ken Sudo came from a distance to inquire about the news.

"I heard that the scope of the exam has changed, which means that everything I learned before is wasted." Sudo said with a serious look, "In this case, I plan to suspend club activities for a week starting from tomorrow. Is there any way to do this?"

"That's good."

Although Sudo's words were very powerful, Hikigaya still couldn't stand the other party's attitude.

Is that a bit too enthusiastic?

And why are you telling me that the person who taught you was obviously Horikita!

While Hikigaya was secretly complaining in his heart, other people in the class, especially Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki, were also influenced by Sudo.

"There's really no other way. We have to follow up."

"We must not fall behind at this time!"

It was really surprising that these two guys were now perking up.

Anyway, these things have nothing to do with me.

……

Time quickly came to the end of school, and everyone in Class D was now fully focused, ready to give it their all for the upcoming midterm exam.

Hikigaya was not used to such occasions, and planned to leave secretly as he had done in the past, and go to a quiet place like a library to be alone.

Just as he was about to take action, an unexpected figure suddenly jumped out from the side.

The girl with blonde hair and a ponytail, Karuizawa Megumi, came to him in her school uniform.

"I feel like I haven't talked to you much recently."

When Karuizawa Kei spoke right away, Hikigaya's face was filled with confusion.

So, is the relationship between us such that we have to talk to each other often?

And you didn't come to find me in the classroom before...

After thinking it over, Hikigaya didn't know how to handle the situation, so he could only try to say, "Uh, so what's going on?"

"!!"

The moment he finished speaking, Hikigaya suddenly felt that the attack power emanating from Karuizawa Megumi was a level higher than before, and her eyes became full of oppression.

What happened, did I just irritate her?

I can't understand it at all!

Although Hikigaya didn't understand why Karuizawa Megumi was so irritable all of a sudden, he still instinctively thought of a solution. He hesitated and said, "Well, do you want to study together?"

"Oh, really?"

Suddenly, when she heard what Hikigaya said, Karuizawa Megumi showed a surprised expression.

The whole person suddenly became timid, looking like a classic tsundere character.

If this was a normal campus harem, the male protagonist would probably appease the other party in various ways and ask the other party to study with him.

But Hikigaya is not an Asha's person and he never indulges these women.

"Well, if you don't want to, I'll leave first."

Hikigaya turned around after he finished speaking. He actually really didn't want to study with Karuizawa. After all, no one knew if they would be seen.

That would cause all kinds of trouble.

But only for the next moment.

A white hand grabbed his sleeve and pulled him.

"When did I say I didn't want to?"

Wow, this guy is such a classic tsundere character!

It's too cute!

Hikigaya really didn't expect Karuizawa to do such a thing, and he stood there in a daze for a moment.

Karuizawa suddenly became motivated, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "When are we going to study together? This weekend?"

"OK."

"Okay! Then let's contact each other."

Karuizawa left with a smile on his face, as if he had accomplished something very happy.

This was obviously incomprehensible to Hikigaya.

Is it a happy thing to study with yourself?

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship with Hirata Yosuke's girlfriend~~"

Horikita Suzune, who had been standing nearby, suddenly spoke in a strange tone.

Although there was no evidence, Hikigaya always felt that the other party was being sarcastic towards him, and his attitude seemed strange, as if he suddenly felt unhappy.

Chapter 125: Brother, I can’t bear it any longer, Komachi…

"We just chatted occasionally before..."

In response to Horikita Suzune's strange question, Hikigaya hesitated for a moment, and finally answered her with evasive words.

There is still some preparation work to be done for the upcoming midterm exam, and he needs the help of Karuizawa Megumi.

This is also the main reason why he is willing to study with Karuizawa Megumi.

"Hmph, whatever you want."

After hearing Hikigaya's answer, Horikita Suzune seemed to realize the strangeness of her attitude, so she nodded and didn't want to say anything more.

Hikigaya then wanted to leave.

But Horikita Suzune's voice sounded again.

"You were the one who tried to convince him about Sudo, right?" Horikita Suzune seemed to have seen the truth. "I don't know how you did it, but thank you anyway."

"this is nothing."

Hikigaya hesitated in answering.

He obviously didn't expect that Horikita Suzune would be so straightforward one day.

It can be said to be extremely rare.

"Later, if possible..."

Horikita Suzune suddenly spoke again, her voice trembling.

Seeing her like this, Hikigaya instinctively became nervous, and various possible developments and the answers he should make emerged in his mind.

But then, Horikita Suzune sighed very faintly, as if she regretted what she had just said, and said in a barely audible voice:

"Forget it. It's better to maintain this relationship for now."

She said looking out the window at the hazy crimson sky.

"……maybe."

Hikigaya answered hesitantly. He guessed what Horikita Suzune might say next, but he also deliberately avoided guessing those words.

The two parted at the classroom door.

……

In the next few days, everyone in Class D worked hard.

Everyone was like a soldier going to war, each one was nervous and a little serious, and from the beginning of class to the end of get out of class, they devoted all their efforts to studying.

Of course, no one experienced pleasure or joy from studying. However, due to the revision of the exam scope, everyone in Class D had to memorize all the knowledge of all subjects in less than two weeks. It can be said that it was difficult and the task was heavy.

So no one will waste even a moment of time at this time.

Although the three idiots all thought that they were not suited to studying, they still desperately looked at the questions written on the blackboard over and over again, thinking hard countless times to understand them. Sudo in particular, even though he would occasionally become fuzzy and shake his head back and forth, he would still try his best to hold on.

This is indeed his goal of becoming a professional basketball player.

For someone like Hikigaya who has no dreams, someone like Sudo who devotes himself to practice for his dream is not worthy of ridicule at all, but is worthy of admiration.

Although Hikigaya usually listened carefully in class, he also did not slack off in reviewing. He would go to the library to review what he had learned after school every day.

And just like that, the weekend arrived.

Hikigaya got up early in the morning, brushed his teeth and washed his face, then went out.

Since the boys' and girls' dormitories were in the same building, Hikigaya met many female classmates downstairs. They were all going to set out early in the morning to review for the midterm exams.

In order to avoid meeting acquaintances, Hikigaya found a shadowy corner downstairs of the dormitory building, making sure that his position would not be seen by others, and then began to wait patiently.

However, he waited for an hour or two, but still did not see Karuizawa Megumi appear.

Did I miss it?

Hikigaya couldn't help but doubt himself, even though he was confident in his ability to identify people and shouldn't have missed the appearance of Karuizawa Megumi.

This means that there is another possibility.

Although I don't want to admit it, in a sense this is the reality for me.

I might have been stood up by Karuizawa Kei.

Looking back on junior high school and elementary school, Hikigaya was excluded by others many times without realizing it.

Without knowing the other person's situation, he happily went to find the other person to play, but ended up waiting for the whole day in vain without seeing the other person, and was sadly stood up.

Thinking about it now, it is probably the same situation.

"Ugh."

Just when Hikigaya had been waiting and waiting but Karuizawa Megumi didn't show up and was about to give up and leave, a slender and delicate figure suddenly appeared in his sight.
