Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

For a moment, Chabashira Sae's words caused the entire class to fall silent.

Especially the boys, the aura they displayed was completely different from what they just showed!

"What's going on with this unusual pressure..." Even Chabashi Sae couldn't help but take a step back when she felt the boys' concentrated aura.

"The beach in the summer... means seeing girls in swimsuits!"

"Everyone... let's have a big fight!"

Ike Kanji took the lead in shouting.

“Uooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

All the boys in Class D screamed!

The scene was comparable to a cult scene at a comic convention, so horrifying that it left outsiders dumbfounded.

Anyway, Hikigaya never expected that these guys would be so excited about 'looking at swimsuits', it could be said that they were crazy.

And there was another thing that made him feel delicate.

That is, Ayanokouji actually joined in the cheering at this time. What kind of mood was that guy in to act crazy?

It's totally incomprehensible!

"There are so many bugs in this class."

Seeing this, Horikita Suzune made a cold sound.

Hikigaya inexplicably felt that the other party's aggression seemed to include himself, but he did not join in the frenzy, so he did nothing wrong.

But there was no doubt that even if Hikigaya wanted to protest, the other party would not pay any attention to him, so he decisively chose to remain autistic and not make any response.

Soon, all the students in Class D received their test papers, and the first section was about social studies.

Among the five subjects in the midterm exam, sociology can be said to be a relatively easy subject. At least compared with Chinese, mathematics and English, it is not a particularly difficult subject.

If someone can't even pass this course, there is a high probability that they will fail all the remaining subjects.

As soon as Hikigaya got the test paper, he opened it decisively. He did not rush to solve the questions, but took a look at all the questions.

He needs to make sure whether the questions this time overlap with those on the senior exam papers.

'really……'

Hikigaya's expression calmly changed as he looked at the almost identical test papers.

The content of the social studies test was exactly the same as that of the senior exam, so similar that it was a little scary. If I memorized all of it, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get full marks.

Most of the students in Class D had similar expressions to Hikigaya the moment they saw the test paper. They were all surprised and relieved, and began to fill in the answers to the questions calmly.

After finishing the test, Hikigaya handed in the paper immediately. After reviewing the test paper, he was surprised to find that the test focus that Horikita Suzune had previously marked for the "three idiots" was almost exactly the same as the scope of the test paper. The other party's ability was much better than he had imagined...

As expected, the idea of ​​letting Horikita Suzune be the leader of Class D was absolutely correct.

It’s just that the opponent now still needs to grow.

Next, the subsequent exams went smoothly. The questions in Chinese, chemistry, and mathematics were still exactly the same as those on the high-grade test papers. Many questions were much more difficult than the quizzes, but because most people had memorized the answers, they could easily write out the answers without even looking at the questions.

Like Hikigaya, most people passed the test with ease.

The last subject is English.

During the break before the English exam, Hikigaya felt that the exam was no longer difficult, so he took out the novel "Robinson Crusoe" which he had not finished reading and began to read it attentively.

It can be said that after reading this book, he envied Robinson's life very much. He could live a free and easy life away from the human society, which was really full of the aesthetics of a lone ranger!

Unfortunately, after a moment's reflection on his own ability, Hikigaya realized that he would most likely end up on an isolated island and would starve to death in a few days, so he regretfully gave up on this fantasy.

It seems that I still can't be Robinson Crusoe.

By the way, Hikigaya also recalled what Chabashira Saeda-sensei had just said about taking all the students to an island for a vacation during the holidays.

how to say……

When Chabashi Saeda-sensei said the word "good thing", I could basically prepare for the worst.

Just as Hikigaya was reading a book and wondering what bad developments would happen in the future, some anxious voices came from behind him.

"What midterm exam? It's so easy!"

"I might get 120 points."

As members of the study group, Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki gathered around Horikita at the first opportunity, along with Kushida Kikyo.

After passing the exam with ease, these people had unknowingly begun to center around Horikita Suzune and completely recognized her abilities.

This can be considered as the development that Hikigaya expected.

But what was surprising was that Ken Sudo, who was also one of the 'three idiots', was still sitting in his seat with a gloomy expression, staring intently at the questions in the senior English test paper.

"Sudou-kun, how did you do on the test?"

Even when asked by Kushida, he ignored it, which made it obvious that he was weird.

Chapter 132: Hikigaya, are you guys on a date?

Kushida Kikyo spoke to Sudo Ken, who was sitting alone and staring at his senior exam paper, but Sudo was completely unaware that someone was talking to him and kept his head down the whole time.

"Sudou-kun?"

"…Ah? Sorry, I'm a bit busy."

Sudo responded stiffly after hearing Kushida's second words. He looked at the English test paper with beads of sweat on his forehead.

Seeing this scene, everyone realized that Sudo Ken had a problem.

Ayanokouji, who was sitting next to Sudo, asked bluntly, "Sudo, didn't you... read the exam questions?"

"I looked at it, but I didn't have time to look at the English paper... I was too tired from playing basketball yesterday, and I accidentally fell asleep when I came back."

Although Sudo was looking for excuses, his attitude did not show any intention of making excuses. Instead, he stared at the test paper in his hand with full concentration, not wanting to give up at this last moment.

Seeing his anxious look, everyone couldn't help but realize that Sudo seemed to have less than ten minutes of rest time left to memorize the test paper.

"Come on, Sudou, as long as you can pass the test, that's enough!"

Kushida Kikyo spoke up and encouraged Sudou.

However, Sudo Ken said with a distressed look on his face: "Damn, I can't seem to memorize the answer at all."

"..."

As everyone was stunned, Horikita Suzune looked over and said with a look half as cold as before: "English is different from Japanese. If the basics are not well laid, it will look like a spell, and it will take a lot of time to memorize it."

"Yes, yes, I also had a hard time learning English..."

English is different from all the previous exams. It is not easy to memorize the content. It is impossible to remember all the answers in just ten minutes.

"Sudou-kun, you should memorize the questions with high scores and short answers first."

Horikita Suzune spoke immediately.

"Oh, good."

Sudo Ken listened to Horikita Suzune's suggestion, began to give up low-scoring questions, and started to memorize high-scoring and easy-to-understand parts.

"He...he should be okay, right?"

Kushida looked at Sudou anxiously from the side, but he didn't go forward because he knew he shouldn't disturb him at this time.

Seeing this, Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki shook their heads helplessly.

Although they are part of the Three Idiots, they can't help Sudo much at the moment.

Hikigaya watched the whole process from the side and couldn't help but sigh.

Although this matter had nothing to do with him, the indirect reason why Sudo Ken could not memorize the English test paper was because he chose to send out the test paper on the last day.

If it was one day in advance, even someone as busy as Sudo would be able to memorize all the test papers easily.

Therefore, Hikigaya believes that he is more or less responsible...

"Horikita."

As time passed and the exam was about to begin, Hikigaya turned to the girl behind him and said, "During the English exam, deliberately lower your score a little. Just make sure you can pass it."

"What did you say?"

Horikita Suzune didn't expect Hikigaya to suddenly say such a thing, and for a moment she was completely unable to understand what the other party meant.

And Hikigaya couldn't explain more.

Because the ten-minute break passed in the blink of an eye.

The bell rang mercilessly.

"Everyone return to your seats, the exam is about to begin."

As Chabashira Sae's words rang out coldly at the podium, the English test began.

While other students were answering their questions steadily, Sudo was in distress. He kept putting down his writing and banging his head on the table. However, no one could help him now.

Sudo can only rely on himself to overcome the crisis of failing.

……

After the last exam, all the students left the exam room with a sense of relief. Some left the classroom immediately to relax in other places, while others stayed and shared their exam experiences with other students, commonly known as "checking answers"...

"Hey...are you okay?"

Ike Kanji came to Sudo's side as soon as possible, hoping to comfort him.

"I don't know... Even though I've done everything I can, I still can't figure out how many points I'll get..."

"It's okay. You've studied really hard so far, so you'll be able to get through it."

"Damn it, why did I fall asleep?"

It was obvious that Ike Kanji's consolation did not relieve Sudo's Horikita at all. He was still anxious about himself and shaking his feet, and he was almost on the verge of collapse.

Hikigaya and Horikita watched Sudo Ken's condition from afar, and neither of them had any intention of going up to talk to him.

Because the exam is over.

"At the end, you asked me to lower my English score."

"Yeah, did you do that?"

"I kept it around 40 points. If I keep it down any further it will be a little dangerous."

After all, Horikita Suzune is not Ayanokouji, so it is impossible for her to deliberately lower her score to a very low level, or even precisely control it within the 60-point limit.

In order to ensure passing, she could only try to get a score that was almost stable enough to pass.

"You really believe in me."

Hikigaya was quite surprised by Horikita's behavior. Although he tried his best to leave some questions blank and lower his scores, he didn't expect that Horikita Suzune would do the same as him.

"It's just some attempts. After all, we've reached the end of our rope." Seeing this, Horikita Suzune snorted in dissatisfaction and crossed her arms over her chest. "Besides, it's just a low score. If doing this can make those guys pass, it's not a big price to pay."

"Yes, if they can all pass."

Hikigaya echoed this, he actually didn't know whether Sudo could pass or not, because it all depended on his own efforts.

Next, everyone in Class D left the classroom. After being extremely depressed, most of them chose to relax themselves.

Hikigaya also made a similar choice, but found that Horikita Suzune actually took the same path as him.

"What are you..."

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just going to go to the convenience store to buy some groceries."

Horikita Suzune spoke in a dissatisfied tone.

She was actually dissatisfied with Hikigaya for not telling her the significance of "lowering the score". Although Horikita did so, she actually did not understand the connection between getting a low score and allowing Sudo to pass.

Of course, due to the sake of face, she couldn't take the initiative to ask questions to Hikigaya, whom she had always looked down upon.

On the other hand, although Hikigaya didn't know what was wrong with Horikita, he was unwilling to give up going to the convenience store.

The two walked side by side on the road.

Suddenly, a voice was heard.
