Chapter 11

　"I like your style of doing things...very much!"

　　Ryuen couldn't hide his admiration for the young man in front of him, and his crazy joy was completely revealed on his face.

　　Hikigaya heard Ryuen's words and just laughed in agreement:

　　"It seems that my cleverness made you laugh, so...what's the matter?"

　　Now that things have come to this, Long Yuan no longer hides his purpose.

　　"Come to our Class C. As long as you nod and agree, I will use all my points to buy you in."

　　Hikigaya didn't think that he was worthy of the boy's efforts and money to buy it, and just said calmly:

　　"I am not interested in class competition, nor am I interested in those idiots in the class. Even if I were in your class, I don't know what they would do. When the time comes... don't shoot yourself in the foot."

　　Ryuen laughed again and said:

　　"Really? I like your spontaneity too."

　　"I don't hate it either."

　　"oh?"

　　Ryuen once again sent an admiring look towards Hikigaya. Although his points were not enough to buy the boy in front of him now, but...if that day came, he would definitely accept him into Class C.

　　After all, all previous actions could not hide the true purpose in the eyes of a smart person like him

　　Although he said that he would not act for the benefit of the class,...he actually did something so self-sacrificing that it was hard not to feel pity for him.

　　Just as the two were in a stalemate, the silver-haired fairy at the side slowly walked over.

　　"Oh? Dragon boy, what are you going to do to our school's celebrities?"

　　"Sakayanagi..."

　　Sakayanagi was still surrounded by those familiar people, Kito, Hashimoto, and Kamuro.

　　"Dragon boy, do you have anything to say to our little celebrity? If not, it's my turn."

　　Hikigaya Hachiman, who was already notorious, at this moment, led the leaders of two classes in A and C to talk to each other. At this moment... the people around him were even more curious about what Class A leader Sakayanagi wanted to say to Hikigaya.

　　Ryuen: "Since when did this place become your territory? I can come and go as I please, and...if you call me like that again, I promise to make your legs lame again."

　　Sakayanagi looked at Ryuuen in front of her with some amusement, but soon she shifted her gaze to Hikigaya.

　　"Hikigaya Hachiman we haven't gotten to know each other well since we met in the library. But I'm not a straightforward man like Long Boy. After all, you're a girl. Next time, I'll invite you to chat alone."

　　Speaking of chatting alone, Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't help but get goosebumps on his back. During the short time he met her in the library, he already felt that she was not an ordinary person. The feeling was just like that with Yukinoshita Haruno. No matter what... he would never meet her alone again.

　　Of course, the students who have been watching the show at this moment are even more curious about what happened. Judging from the current picture, the leaders of the two classes are actually competing for the notorious Hikigaya Hachiman.

　　Of course Kamuro also recognized Hikigaya. She had been following Sakayanagi's instructions and secretly observing Hikigaya, although... he would always run away within five minutes.

　　However, this also made it more certain that his original self-judgment, and even Sakayanagi's judgment, were wrong.

　　Although he is in Class D, he is the only one in the school who has such abilities.

　　Fortunately, the stalemate did not last long. After the leaders of both classes said goodbye to Hikigaya Hachiman in a "friendly" manner, only Hikigaya Hachiman returned to the class.

""

　　[Yuigahama: "hikki, how can you be so popular? This is totally abnormal."]

　　[Hikigaya: "Are you an idiot? That's just teasing..."]

　　[Yukinoshita: "That's still not accurate enough. After all, in a school like that, being used is the most accurate explanation."]

　　[Hayama: "Using Hikigaya's method... Really..."]

　　[Hayama's face was somewhat angry, and Yukinoshita and Yuigahama, who had reacted, were also sulking. ]

　　[However, for Hikigaya, since he is using her, then he can just use her for his own benefit.]

　　[After all, when you are in a foreign land, you have no choice. ]

**

　　As soon as Hikigaya returned to the classroom, the noisy atmosphere instantly became quiet.

　　Then...after he sat down, the sound of discussion in the class began to be heard from everywhere again.

　　Not only that, he could feel that his body was constantly sensing strange gazes coming from all directions.

　　Hikigaya put on his headphones, picked up the science book he had borrowed from the library and started reading. For him, as long as he ignored it, it had nothing to do with him.

　　Horikita: "It seems like you are really popular. I didn't expect that you have become the most discussed person in the class less than a month after the start of the school."

　　Seeing that Hikigaya pretended not to hear, Horikita continued:

　　"It seems that it's not just our class. Now your deeds have spread to other classes and even other grades. It's amazing that you have made the whole school hate you just by your own efforts."

　　"Hey, are you looking for trouble?"

　　Hikigaya put down his book and took off his headphones, but the girl at this moment had already focused all her attention on him.

　　"Are you doing some kind of social observation practice? I'll be clear, I'm not a monkey, and there's a golden lion and a red-haired hedgehog in this class, why do you have to come see me..."

　　Hikigaya secretly complained in his heart, but Horikita seemed to have discovered something and a mischievous smile appeared on his face.

　　"I used to think you were a gloomy man, but now I see that you're not entirely like that."

　　"Thank you for your indirect flirting."

　　"But you are really amazing. This is the first time I have seen someone who can sacrifice himself like this. I have only seen such a righteous person on TV."

　　"Sacrifice? What sacrifice? I told you, I'm doing this for myself. It has nothing to do with you, the teacher, or anyone else in the class. I just don't want to live a life with 0 points, that's all."

　　Why does everyone mistakenly think that these things are done for them, whether it is Hayama or Horikita in front of them, they clearly have no obligation to help them. Thinking this way is just their self-righteousness. After all, they are just doing it for themselves.

　　Horikita didn't continue to argue with him, but just smiled faintly in response.

　　"Then let's just leave it at that."

　　I always feel like this guy has changed...

　　When Hikigaya thought back to the time when school started, the girl's arrogant look and the tsundere nature engraved in her bones, and now she was so easy to talk to, it really made people wonder if she was out of her mind.

　　Seeing that the girl finally stopped talking to him, Hikigaya picked up his book and headphones again and enjoyed his free time.

　　Although he would still hear his classmates discussing him and looking at him viciously, that was all.

　　After all, if even the red-haired hedgehog didn't take action, others would not lose their minds and take action.

**

　　[Ayanokouji Kiyotaka looked at the black-haired boy in front of him. He had gradually replaced his position and even became a well-known figure in this school. At this moment, his face was expressionless, but his eyes were sharp.]

　　['I never thought that the White Room would use this method to erase my existence. If this continues, it won't be long before everyone in the class thinks that I'm the weird one and Hikigaya is the one in the class...']

　　['That being said, if I were to do something strange right now, it would only make my situation more passive. Instead of doing that, I'd better remember all the information in my mind and then prove them one by one. Besides... I still have a trump card.']

　　[Although most people think that Ayanokouji Kiyotaka is just a marginal student with no sense of existence, whether it is Horikita Manabu, Chabashira, or Sakayanagi, they all have their own memories with him, at least they will not be affected by the video in front of them. ]

**

　　I don't know how much time had passed, but the sound of high heels was heard outside the corridor again. The tall black-haired teacher with a ponytail walked in from the main door with an expressionless face as usual, as if what happened yesterday had never happened.

　　Hikigaya also put down the book in his hand and focused his attention on the class. The classmates looked at their expressions and when they realized that they were not continuing with what happened yesterday, they also focused on the class.

　　After Hikigaya's self-explosion yesterday, almost all students in the class would no longer be absent from class. Even the "three useless people" in the class, Sudo, Yamauchi, and Ike, would devote themselves to the class.

　　No matter what, he didn't want to be compared with someone like Hikigaya. It seemed as if this had aroused the fighting spirit in their hearts. For a moment, the atmosphere in the class was much better than yesterday.

　　Hikigaya has naturally been observing the situation of his classmates. Fortunately, after what happened yesterday, everyone has become a lot quieter, at least not as noisy as before. However, Hirata Yosuke, who always had a smiling face in the past, has become surprisingly silent, and even kept his head down for the entire class, and no one knows what he was thinking about.

　　Looking at the peace that was brought to the class by Hikigaya's self-explosion, Yosuke Hirata couldn't accept it in his heart.

　　If this result requires the sacrifice of one person, then he might as well just quit the class.

　　An absolutely hypocritical person cannot accept any failure. Hirata Yosuke is such a person. He has reached the point of being almost pathological and is only one step away from madness.

　　He could not accept the disunity in the class and the various remarks that defamed a classmate.

　　Of course, it wasn't just Hikigaya who noticed this. Chabashira Sae, who had been in charge of giving lectures, also noticed that something was wrong with Hirata Yosuke.

　　"If one more person goes crazy, it will be too much pressure on this group of freshmen... I'll let you do it this time, Hikigaya Hachiman, I hope you won't let me down."

　　Chabashira Sae put down the book in her hand, and the atmosphere in the classroom came to an abrupt halt. Although in fact not many people were really listening to the class seriously, and although there were no more skipping classes, being late, leaving early, or making various small movements, there were still many people who were in a daze.

　　However, Chabashi Sae's sudden stop in speaking instantly brought them back to the classroom.

　　She crossed her arms and said proudly:

　　"Hikigaya...it looks like the people in Class D really need to thank you."

　　ike "Huh? Why do we have to thank this kind of person? This kind of person is gloomy and speaks harshly. Besides, we don't see how good he is. After all, his grades are not very high, and his sports skills are also average..."

　　Sudo: "That's right, I've never seen anyone more arrogant than me. How dare you talk about this class like this? What qualifications do you have?"

　　Yukimura: "Okay, okay, stop talking, this matter is over."

　　Shinohara: "This guy said such outrageous things yesterday. It's absolutely impossible for him to just let it go!"

　　Most of the girls nodded in agreement, and Kushida Kikyo still played the hand of winning and said:

　　"Don't be like this... Let's communicate properly... Let's communicate properly..."

　　Although she has been playing the sympathy card, people will not stop criticizing Hikigaya because of this. After all, classmates in the class only think that Kushida is gentle and kind, and will choose to forgive others even if they are said such things. For Hikigaya, it will only make his hatred value continue to rise.

　　the teacher looked at Hikigaya with a meaningful smile. At the moment, she didn't plan to say much, she just simply wanted to know what he would do next.

　　Sakura Airi also didn't want to criticize the black-haired boy. Although there was no intersection between him and her, Sakura seemed to be able to feel that the boy in front of her was not a bad person. Sakura Airi always believed in her own feelings.

　　Of course, there is also a girl named hasabe with long blue hair and a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye. Now she seems to be completely unconcerned about who is right or wrong, or whether she has been hurt, and continues to be a marginal figure in this matter.

　　After all, she didn't want to get into too much trouble, and like Hikigaya, she just wanted to spend three peaceful years of high school life.

　　She still hates intrigue and deception.

　　On the contrary, some girls who were provoked by the storm could no longer control themselves and kept using all kinds of ugly words.

　　Karuizawa kei also followed the crowd and continued to insult the gloomy boy.

**

　　[Haruno: "Hahahahahahahaha, interesting, interesting. As expected of Class D, most of the people there are idiots."]

　　[Hiratsuka Shizuka: "You really have a bad taste. I really feel sorry for my students..."]

　　[Haruno: "Ah, I feel bad for Hikigaya too. After all, he... uh, he's also my... boyfriend?"]

　　[Hiratsuka Shizuka: "Don't tease the teacher, idiot."]

　　[On the other side, in the service club...]

　　[Miura and Ebina both opened their mouths slightly, covered their noses with their hands, and watched the video in front of them with disbelief in their eyes.]

　　[Ichi Caiyu: "Senior, you are so pitiful..."]

　　[Hikigaya: "Idiot, don't look at me like that... I'm just a poor little dog with no home to return to."]

　　[Yuigahama: "But I feel really bad and angry when people misunderstand me like this."]

　　[Yukinoshita Yukino: "It can't be helped. After all, someone just likes to use this method to solve problems. He deserves this fate in the end."]

　　[Yukino continued to criticize Hikigaya Hachiman in an excited tone. She looked concerned but didn't want to show it, which made Hikigaya Hachiman a little dazed for a while.]

　　['It seems like this guy is really holding a grudge, even though we've all reconciled...']

　　[However, having a companion like this, and having a companion that I care about, this relationship is definitely not hypocritical, this feeling is pretty good...]

**

　　Faced with all kinds of condemnation from the class, Hikigaya was unable to refute. As early as when he said those words, he knew very well that such a time would come.

　　"People like you should get out of our class!!!"

　　I don't know whose voice it was, but it instantly filled the entire class. After a brief silence, the class began to discuss this point again.

　　The bell for the end of get out of class had already rung, but Class D was still discussing this point. And this time, Chabashira-sensei surprisingly did not leave immediately when the get out of class was over. Instead, he continued to watch the classmates discuss, and then showed an expression of looking at them as if they were trash.

　　"That's enough!!!"

　　Hirata Yosuke's voice instantly spread throughout the classroom, and even people passing by in the corridor were startled.

　　No one had ever seen Hirata Yosuke like this before, and even the female classmates in the class were a little stunned.

　　"Do you know what he did?!"
