Chapter 152: An Unsolvable Move, Two People's Deduction.

The next day.

Before the class ended.

Hikigaya arrived early in the small grove of the school building to wait. After all, he didn't need to attend class; this was all a contribution to the class.

In a short while.

Horikita Manabu walked into the grove and took out a contract from his pocket and handed it to Hikigaya.

The contract was filled with the signatures of everyone in Class A of the third year.

On the girls' side.

They probably signed it during lunch.

It was unexpected that the entire Class A of the third year agreed.

Perhaps, like Class B of the first year, Class A of the third year also values their classmates very much.

However.

There is only one premise.

That is, his deduction must be useful, and Class A of the third year must actually use his deduction. Only then will this contract take effect.

As expected of siblings.

Just like Horikita Suzune, everything is judged by Horikita Manabu himself.

However.

Just like Horikita Suzune.

The credibility of the two siblings is also unquestionable.

"Alright, let's hear it."

"Hmm."

Upon hearing Horikita Manabu's words, Hikigaya signed the contract and put it away, then said:

"Before that, I want to confirm first, the composition of Nagumo's group this time should be pretty bad, right?"

After all.

The last time they were selected.

Nagumo Miyabi's group was surprisingly left behind.

Although they didn't know many upperclassmen, the other first-year students must have their own reasons for choosing this way.

"Not really."

Horikita Manabu pondered slightly: "However, there are indeed quite a few students from Class D and Class C of the second year, which you probably don't consider strong."

"But because of Nagumo's assertion, there were quite a few dropouts in the second year, and those who were left are all reliable people."

Hmm?

There were a lot of dropouts in the second year?

This was the first time Hikigaya heard about it, but he didn't care too much. This only further proves that Nagumo Miyabi is a reckless and self-centered jerk.

It's a shame for these guys.

They even think Nagumo Miyabi is a trustworthy guy.

"Is that so."

Hikigaya nodded and said: "But it definitely can't compare to your group, right?"

"That's right."

Horikita Manabu's face was calm.

Although Nagumo Miyabi's group is not weak, he has gathered elites who are trustworthy enough.

"Nagumo should be clear about this."

Hikigaya continued to analyze: "From the beginning, he was in a disadvantageous position. In other words, I think Nagumo didn't intend to win against you in a direct confrontation from the start."

"Hmm?"

Horikita Manabu frowned and pondered: "Although the average strength of Nagumo's group is indeed not as good as mine, it is not without a chance of winning."

"How much strength a group can exert depends largely on whether the person in charge can handle the internal conflicts of the group."

"Nagumo had already controlled the entire grade when he was in the second year, so even if he cooperates with other classes, there is unlikely to be any conflict within the group."

"Judging from this point alone, isn't it a bit arbitrary?"

Directly controlled a grade.

What is this?

Isn't this too powerful?

However, what the other party said also makes sense. The exam is not a comparison of strength on paper. It is indeed a bit arbitrary to judge this way.

"That..."

Hikigaya was a bit confused: "What does 'control' mean?"

"It means exactly what it says."

Horikita Manabu explained with a calm expression.

"In the first year, Nagumo was promoted from Class B to Class A, and he created a huge gap with the classes behind."

"This also made the classes at the lower end completely lose the chance to be promoted to Class A."

"Nagumo then proposed to use twenty million to allow those with real strength to transfer to Class A as a reason, and thus collected everyone's personal points."

Hmm?

If there is no hope of being promoted to Class A.

People with strength might indeed give up their personal points in exchange for this only possibility of being promoted to Class A.

But what about those without strength?

It's not possible.

Are all the students in the second year's Classes B, C, and D self-righteous idiots?

Anyway.

Hikigaya would never give up his personal points. After all, he knows himself well, his strength is just slightly better than the average level.

Hikigaya is really a bit puzzled.

"What about those without strength?"

"Even if they don't have strength, they also have the chance to be promoted to Class A, which is judged by Nagumo."

Horikita Manabu explained in a deep voice: "And the rebels will be targeted, Nagumo will make them drop out in the exam, and as a result, more than ten people dropped out in the second year."

"How scary..."

Hikigaya laughed dryly.

If he threatened by someone, and there is still a glimmer of hope of being promoted to Class A.

He would indeed choose to give up his personal points.

But in this way, wouldn't it be too shameless?

Whether or not he can be promoted to Class A.

It's entirely up to Nagumo's judgment, this is clearly a way to seek personal gain.

"It's really shameful that you still think that guy is trustworthy..."

Hikigaya is really speechless.

No matter how you look at it, he's a capricious jerk.

"Hmm."

Horikita Manabu said calmly: "This is mainly because Nagumo has promised things and has never broken his promise. And when he was in the football club, he provided the school with many useful suggestions just like you. Does this help your judgment?"

"No..."

The other party hinted to return to the main topic, Hikigaya nodded and said:

"I just believe more that he is a despicable jerk. Then back to the main topic, does Senior Horikita Manabu think he will lose?"

"Hmm..."

Horikita Manabu frowned, carefully weighed the strength of both sides in his mind, and finally his gaze fell on Hikigaya.

"If it weren't for you, I'm confident I wouldn't lose."

"..."

Hikigaya was suddenly a bit embarrassed.

Although the main purpose is to drag down Class A, it also really dragged down this big group.

But.

Wanting to take into account everyone's thoughts, Hikigaya didn't think he had such strength in the first place, so he could only apologize to the senior students.

Anyway, they were not familiar in the first place.

"So what if Senior Horikita Manabu loses?"

"It doesn't matter, as long as I win back next time."

Horikita Manabu didn't care.

Although he didn't want to lose, but if he lost, he lost. He is not someone who can't afford to lose.

"Right? Actually, it doesn't matter if you lose."

Hikigaya nodded and said: "Looking at Nagumo's obsession with you, I don't think he cares about this indifferent duel, and it's a duel that is easily dragged down by the people around."

Just like now.

They have already dragged down Horikita Manabu's big group like this.

Obviously, it's not a fair competition anymore.

If Nagumo Miyabi really wanted to have a fair duel on the average score.

He should have come to talk to him or give a warning, or ask Horikita Manabu to postpone the match to the next time.

But Nagumo Miyabi didn't.

Obviously, Nagumo didn't really care about such a match.

If he loses, he loses.

There will be no loss at all.

"Make sense..."

Horikita Manabu squinted his eyes: "Then what do you think Nagumo will do?"

"Uh..."

Hikigaya was a bit embarrassed: "He is dueling with Senior Horikita Manabu, he should know what Senior Horikita Manabu cares about the most."

If it were him.

He would definitely find the other party's weaknesses and attack them desperately, picking on the soft persimmons, after all, he is such a despicable person.

"And Nagumo Miyabi is obviously not a good person either."

"As for me... I should be considered a companion, right?"

Horikita Manabu's eyebrows were tightly locked, and he said with some heaviness: "But if he wants to make a move on the people in my group, I don't think he can do it easily."

After all.

Horikita Manabu is not an idiot.

People from all three grades are in class together.

If Nagumo Miyabi has any small movements, Horikita Manabu will definitely notice.

"That would be the girls' side."

The exams are separated by gender.

The only chance to meet is at lunchtime.

But Nagumo Miyabi has the ability to control the entire second grade, and it should be very easy for him to make a move on the girls.

"This..."

Horikita Manabu's pupils shrank, and he quickly thought of something terrible, and then quickly shook his head:

"It shouldn't be."

"The way I can think of is just to let a person in charge of the third grade drag our Class A students to drop out."

"We have been together for three years, and I really don't think the people in our class will be easily fooled."

"Moreover, Nagumo can control the second grade, and the most important thing besides ability is that he can get the trust of most people in the second grade."

"This time it has been agreed that no other people will be involved. If he breaks his promise, the credit system he has established will collapse."

After all.

Hikigaya is not familiar with other people.

But since Horikita Manabu said so, it can only be taken as such.

Class A of the third year must not be idiots.

Nagumo Miyabi can't play in person, he can only control and command at most, and it's not an easy thing to deal with the girls of Class A of the third year.

"Hmm, dragging people into the water?"

Hikigaya felt a bit cold when he thought about it.

It's almost graduation, are there still people in the senior year who don't care about dropping out?

Impossible.

Those who should have dropped out must have dropped out long ago.

How could there be people who would voluntarily drop out and want to drag the people of Class A of the third year to bury them.

Unless.

Nagumo Miyabi is ready to cancel the dropout penalty with twenty million personal points.

Spend twenty million.

Just to play with Horikita Manabu.

Hikigaya feels unrealistic, at least he definitely can't bear so much money, but Nagumo Miyabi may not be the same.

After all, Horikita Manabu must know Nagumo Miyabi better than him.

Assuming what Horikita Manabu said is true, the only problem is the trust system.

"I think."

Hikigaya said somewhat helplessly: "In Nagumo's eyes, trust may just be a weapon, what does Senior Horikita Manabu think?"

"I just said that he is a person who can do what he says."

Horikita Manabu obviously didn't think so, and obviously trusted Nagumo Miyabi more.

But Horikita Manabu still nodded:

"However, this is mainly based on your reference. Even if he uses trust as a weapon, so what? It's not easy to get back the lost trust."

"In order to compete with me and give up the trust relationship that has been hard to build, I personally think it's not worth it, or do you think he might do it?"

"No."

Hikigaya shook his head: "If he uses trust as a weapon, then the only one who can give up trust should be him."

"What do you mean?"

"For example."

Hikigaya said indifferently: "He agreed with the second grade in advance about what will happen in this exam, so his trust system will not collapse, and those who will be dissatisfied with Nagumo should be only you, Senior Horikita Manabu."

"I see."

Horikita Manabu's eyebrows were heavy, and he closed his eyes in thought.

"Based on Nagumo Miyabi's past experiences, he really doesn't think Nagumo would be that kind of person."

"But."

The necessary insurance must not be less.

"But."

Horikita Manabu said with some heaviness:

"If we take a step back and things are as you said."

"Nagumo plans to use twenty million personal points to let the person in charge drag our Class A girls of the third year to be buried with him."

"Although I don't think my companions would deliberately fail or boycott the exam."

"But if this method can succeed, it seems there is no way to crack it."

"Isn't it?"

Other than being careful with companions.

It seems powerless.

Spending twenty million to drag people to be buried, this method indeed leaves people helpless.

Hikigaya, however, smiled and said:

"How could it be, if that's the case, it's actually quite easy to solve."

After all, for twenty million personal points.

Hikigaya would not give up easily.
