Chapter 5

　　But now he is frighteningly calm.

　　After listening to a long section of useless nonsense, as Chabashira-sensei announced the disbandment of the class, everyone in the class walked out of the classroom one after another.

　　Because it is the first day of school, most of the time is left for students to adapt to the environment, or to arrange their dormitories.

　　Although single dormitories were provided, students had to go to convenience stores to buy daily necessities. However, since 100,000 points had already been distributed, most of the students did not think much about it and left happily.

　　Hikigaya was not in a hurry to leave. Before making any purchases, he wanted to find out more information, such as... class ABC, which was in the same grade and ranked higher than them.

　　The boy picked up his backpack, put it on his shoulders with familiarity, and walked alone in the teaching building.

　　Since they are all in the same grade, the distance between them is not that big, so if I just want to observe them simply, probably nothing will happen.

　　Hikigaya came to Class C first. Unlike his own class, their class seemed to be still discussing something 20 minutes after the teacher had left. Hikigaya was just like a passerby, taking in all the information passing by.

　　The man with long red hair sat on the podium, staring at the classmates like a monarch. At this moment, there was a strong dark-skinned young man standing next to him like a bodyguard. He always felt like... a tyrant.

　　The look in his eyes was as if he was looking at his prey. With just a little observation, Hikigaya could feel the non-scary aura. Fortunately, with his pitifully low sense of presence, he did not let the people in Class C notice his existence.

　　"You're going to use your power to intimidate the class so soon. Is this the old society? Is this the underworld?"

　　The boy did not stay long. After getting a glance of confidence, he continued walking towards Class B.

**

　　Ryuen was a little puzzled. With his many years of experience in society, it was impossible for him not to notice his existence. Could it be that this guy's presence was really so low?

　　Of course, he was not the only one who was puzzled. The students in Class D and Class B also felt a little unbelievable. They knew very well what kind of person Ryuen was. It was because they had fought against each other that they knew his strength very well. But now... he couldn't even find such a person. This was too unbelievable.

　　Ayanokouji knew the reason very well. The reason why Ryuuen couldn't find Hikigaya was very simple. Yes, Ryuuen's perception was very strong, but if a guy who didn't have any ideas walked over, then... his sensitive perception would be meaningless. And... it was the beginning of the school year, and Class C was probably still dealing with the students who didn't obey.

**

　　Hikigaya continued walking forward, and soon he arrived at Class B's classroom. Compared to Class C, Class B was much more cheerful. After all, it was a class known for its unity, so it was normal for it to have such an atmosphere.

　　Hikigaya glanced at the girl who was also standing on the podium from a distance. The girl had long pink hair, a pretty face, and a genuine smile. She just stood there, and Hikigaya was a little dazed.

　　Perhaps it was this slight daze that allowed the little angel Ichinose Honami to notice her. After handing over the task of taking charge of the overall situation to Kanzaki, she waved to her generously and walked out.

　　"....Hello."

　　Hikigaya's face turned slightly red, and the girl waved at him in a relaxed manner, responding:

　　"Hello, my name is Ichinose Honami."

　　"I'm Hikigaya Hachiman."

　　"Are you here to visit our class? Welcome, Hachiman-san. I think it's okay for me to call you that."

　　The girl put her fingertips to her mouth, seeming confused.

　　The boy did not respond, but just nodded slightly.

　　"sayaka, why did you change your gender..."

　　The boy was not resisting the girl in front of him. Although she was also a person who was extremely gentle to everyone, compared to that hypocritical smile, the girl in front of him was the true and kind one.

**

　　Inside the service club, everyone sighed. It seems that the position of Ayaka in this guy's heart is really difficult to replace.

　　Of course, Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui's eyes were always on Hikigaya and never left.

　　That resentful look, that smile that hides a knife, it's like it can kill him at any moment, Hikigaya always feels like there are bugs crawling on his body.

**

　　After a brief exchange, Hikigaya used a clumsy method to avoid the girl's enthusiasm. It turned out that no matter where he was, he was not good at communicating.

　　Anyway, the other party will forget you in no time, so you don't need to care so much. An angel like this is not only gentle to you.

　　Hikigaya knew about this kind of thing a long time ago.

　　Class C and Class B both have leaders, so the only one left is Class A, which has the strongest overall strength.

　　To say that the Class C and Class B that I just observed are two classes with completely different styles, but... no matter which class it is, judging from the current situation, it is already far ahead of Class D.

　　Whether it was information about the school, the rules, or the points and rankings, Chabashira-sensei simply glossed over them, but Hikigaya Hachiman could clearly feel that this school was not as simple as he had imagined.

　　Tyrants, angels, and more? What kind of existence will appear in Class A?

**

　　Ichinose : "I never thought I'd be the subject of observation right after school started.

　Ryuuen: "I can't even detect what you can detect..."

　　Sakayanagi: "After all, Dragon Boy, as a prey, you can't sense the harmless hunter."

　　Ryuuen: "Prey? Hahahahahaha, prey often appears in the form of hunters. Even now, I don't think I will lose to you, Miss Wheelchair."

　　The tension between Class ABC is as strong as ever, and everyone in Class D is just looking at the boy in the video in confusion. They really start to investigate the details of other classes on the first day of school.

　　Sudo: "That's impossible no matter how you think about it. Who would go out of their way to observe these things on the first day of school?"

　　Ryuuen: "Can a fool express his opinion? How pitiful."

　　Sudo heard Ryuen's ridicule and slammed the table hard, as if he wanted to run to Class C to ask for an explanation again. However...he is no longer the Sudo who just entered school. After venting a little, he slowly calmed down.

**

　　Under normal circumstances, Hikigaya would never go to the trouble of coming to someone else's class to do such a thing. He would simply choose to be the first to leave the classroom after school and return to the dormitory to end his tiring day. But the situation is different now... He still has many doubts. After traveling to this world, this school is not an ordinary school as it seems. If he doesn't sort out the doubts in his heart, he really can't feel at ease.

　　What is the real story behind this school?

　　Thinking of this, Hikigaya's heart was in turmoil. Although it was a school, in fact, everyone in Class D seemed to know nothing about this school, while Class BC seemed to know something.

　　Hikigaya Hachiman continued walking forward. He had already taken a quick glance at Class B and Class C. Although it was just a quick glance, Hikigaya still managed to find out a lot of information. Generally speaking, they were all choosing the leaders of their classes, perhaps in a tough way, perhaps in a friendly way, but without exception, they would become the absolute backbone of the class, and... the personalities of the two leaders were also completely different.

　　Hikigaya put his hands in his pockets and walked slowly in the corridor of the teaching building. Class A's classroom seemed to be just in front. Hikigaya had noticed the door number that was the same as the three classes.

　　However, unlike the Class B and Class C that he had seen, although he had not yet reached Class A's classroom, there was not a single noise coming from their classroom.

　　Is this...disbanded?

　　Or is it absolute discipline?

　　Hikigaya was about to take another step forward, but he didn't expect that someone was blocking his way in front of him.

　　The girl had a small ponytail, and her body curves were perfectly shown even with the school uniform. She stood on the path that Class A had to pass through, staring at the boy in front of her with her arms folded across her chest.

　　Kamuro: "Why are you here? Which class are you in?"

　　The boy didn't waver at all, as if he was giving a very simple and stupid reason: "I just want to find a toilet. After all, I'm a freshman and I don't have any friends, so it's normal to get lost."

　　The girl still had her arms crossed, but her eyes had become sharper, as if she wanted to see through the boy's lies with her eyes.

　　But unfortunately, the boy's original purpose of wandering around was to find a toilet and then to seek information. In a sense, he did not lie.

　　The easiest lies to deceive are often those that are half true and half false.

　　"Also, I'm in Class D of the first year."

　　Hearing the boy's answer, Kamuro's tense eyes finally relaxed, and the corners of his mouth seemed to rise unconsciously. Of course, all these changes in expression were seen by Hikigaya Hachiman.

　　"It seems that this so-called class ranking is not only about the overall strength, but also about other things."

　　Based on the information he had just received, the boy had more or less realized that the more advanced the class was, the more information they seemed to have, and the more they understood this new school, and... they did not seem to be obsessed with the reward of 100,000 points. Could it be that these points had some other uses?

　　Although Class A is right in front of me, since others have already ordered me to leave, I can't move forward any further.

　　However, he could feel that the so-called Class A was probably much more terrifying than he had imagined. If nothing unexpected happened, their class was probably also looking for a leader. No... maybe a leader had already appeared.

　　That leader is a hundred times more terrifying than Class B and Class C. He has the absolute power to lead Class A. Moreover, the students in the class seem to have strong comprehensive abilities. This also explains why the ponytail girl appears here, because their execution ability is too strong.

　　The girl still hugged her chest as she looked at Hikigaya's dazed look. When she heard that he was a student of Class D, she relaxed her guard a little.

　　"Anyway, the toilet isn't here, so turn around now."

　　"Also, don't do anything tricky, otherwise... Sakayanagi won't let you go."

　　"How many times have I been bullied today... But... Sakayanagi?"

　　The young man nodded slightly, then put his hands in his pockets and left without looking back.

　　With the observation just now, he had a better understanding of the layout of this teaching building. Whether it was the location of the cameras or the layout of each class, he remembered them all in his mind.

　　After walking out of the teaching building, the boy strolled around the school.

　　Anyway, let's go to the convenience store and buy some things first.

　　"It's true that wherever you go, you'll see people you don't want to see."

　　The girl's words interrupted Hikigaya's thoughts.

　　He turned around and saw the black-haired girl who sat next to him on the bus and in class.

　　"so..."

**

　　Ayanokouji turned around and looked at the person who had said the same words to him at the convenience store]

　　"You would say that to anyone, right? At that time."

　　Horikita: "That's not entirely true. I have different attitudes towards different people."

　　Ayanokouji: "Oh? Then I really want to know what your attitude towards him is."

　　"Don't you want to know the reason? Please tell me in advance that I won't show you mercy."

**

　　"No, it's normal to be hated by others. It's more abnormal to be liked by others."

　　"What a strange fellow."

　　"This isn't the first time I've heard this. Usually people who really hate me would say 'what a weird freak'."

　　The girl was speechless for a moment because of the boy's self-mockery. She had never seen a person speak so badly of himself.

　　"Horikita Suzune."

　　"?"

　　"My name. I don't want to be called that weird monster in the future. But again, telling you my name doesn't mean I will pay attention to you in class or pretend that we know each other well."

　　"Oh, oh, oh, actually I wouldn't have come to find you if you hadn't told me."

　　The boy just turned his head and continued to choose his daily necessities on the counter.

　　Just as Hikigaya turned around, the girl behind him grabbed the corner of his clothes, scaring Hikigaya so much that his body trembled.

　　Horikita: "I said, you did this on purpose."

　　Hikigaya: "What's wrong?"

　　Horikita: "I've already told you my name, so you should at least tell me your name."

　　Hikigaya: "Didn't I introduce it before class... How troublesome."

　　Horikita was the type who would never talk to anyone she wasn't interested in. At that time, she was busy laughing at Hikigaya beside her, and now... until she said her own name and saw the boy turn around and leave, Horikita Suzune was completely dumbfounded.

　　Horikita's face turned red for a moment because of the boy's words, and she felt a little embarrassed.

　　You can't just say 'I wasn't interested in you at that time', even though she thinks she doesn't need a companion, but... how rude.

　　In short, exchanging names in public and being ignored was a big failure for Horikita, who was not good at making friends.

　　Anyway, in order to stop this troublesome 'Yukinoshita No. 2' from bothering him, Hikigaya still told him his name.

　　"Hikigaya Hachiman."

　　"Hachiman?"

　　"Hey, don't say my new nickname so easily."

　　After getting the other party's name, Horikita Suzune regained her normal expression again. The embarrassed girl just now seemed to have never appeared, and she turned back into the expressionless girl.

　　The two of them didn't say much, they were just simply picking out their daily necessities. Of course, they said they were picking, but in fact, Horikita Suzune was the only one who was buying.

　　Horikita: "You came to the convenience store but didn't buy any daily necessities. Are you planning to drop out of school?"

　　Hikigaya actually thought that if possible, he didn't want to come to this school. He just wanted to return to that familiar home, to Komachi's arms.

**

　　Yuigahama Yui: "What a terrible sister control..."

　　Yukinoshita Yukino: "After all, he's Hikigaya-san, so that's normal."

　　"Could it be that, Senior, you like people younger than you?"
