"Alright, Chabashira-sensei's lecture has finally come to an end, so let's go back."
As soon as he left the consultation room, Hikigaya announced his disbandment and took his own steps to escape from here.
If he doesn't leave again, it means that he has an ominous premonition... No, this is no longer a premonition, but a conviction.
Ayanokouji seemed to be thinking the same thing and followed him without saying a word.
"Why are you following me?"
- No, it just happens.
"...Yes."
Hikigaya didn't talk nonsense to this guy, just turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
In any case, even if Horikita was looking for help, she would definitely prioritize the Ayanokōji who usually spoke to her over the one who never interacted with her.
In other words, as long as you stay away from Ayanokouji, you are safe.
However, Ayanokōji predicted his prediction and shamelessly followed him, it seemed like he was determined to back down.
This guy is so bad!
"Hey, you two, wait a minute.
Horikita also caught up with them and walked side by side with the two of them.
I'm afraid this catastrophe cannot be avoided.
"Ayanokouji-kun, Hikigaya-kun, what do you think of Chabashira-sensei's words right now?"
"No idea."
"Same as above."
The two successively expressed their complete indifference, but this was not enough to make the stubborn girl give up.
Horikita looked at them and continued, "Are you not interested in Class A at all? While I also acknowledge that the gap between current scores is so large that it almost drives people to despair, I believe this will not always be the case. There must be some action, otherwise the meaning of the competition is lost.
After all, under the system of this school, class competition will come sooner or later.
Hikigaya didn't have any idea or motivation to get involved at all, and didn't want to care about this broken class at all.
They're obviously in high school now, but most of them only know how to play cell phones and chat in class, or they're asleep, they're a bunch of hopeless idiots.
How can these people get into Class A?
"Horikita, to be honest," Hikigaya said simply, "I didn't believe in 100 percent attendance from the very beginning, and my parents forced me to enter this school because I didn't have to pay tuition. and living expenses. I came, so class A privilege doesn't matter to me."
"…So you don't want to cooperate with the class?"
Horikita looked unhappy, but Hikigaya was not taken aback by her momentum and nodded.
"Yes, but before you ask me, do you know what class A means?"
"Then it goes without saying that it is not an exaggeration to say that this will give students a huge advantage in further education or employment, and this may affect their future life," Horikita replied without hesitation.
"Indeed, you're right," Hikigaya then asked in response, "did you ever think about which students deserve such a favor?"
Horikita was a little impatient, "Why do you keep asking such nonsense, of course, these are students who can be transferred to Class A."
Wrong, at least I don't think so.
Hikigaya immediately turned her down, and after seeing her puzzled face, he explained further.
"Then I'll draw an analogy, like a trio of idiots… It's Ike, Yamauchi and Sudou. Under your leadership and Ayanokōji, Class D has been defeating other classes all along the way, and these three didn't get up until the end. What is the role? I just got into class A, you can go to any university you want to go to and you can go to any big company you want. Do you think this is fair? Is it good for society?
"This is..."
Horikita was speechless at what Hikigaya said, mainly because she also felt that it made sense from the bottom of her heart.
After this month of socializing, she despised most of the people in the class. If it wasn't for the cooperation of the entire class for promotion to Grade A, I'm afraid she wouldn't have had any contact with them in the past three years.
On the other hand, Ayanokōji looked puzzled and didn't understand why he was also considered the leader. Based on his current results, shouldn't he be treated the same as Yamauchi and the others?
"No way, this world is inherently unfair... It's like I was assigned to Class D," Horikita still insisted.
"I don't deny it, but I don't want this injustice to be caused by me."
From his previous speech in the consultation room, Hikigaya had already seen that Horikita was extremely obsessed with being promoted to Grade A, not only because of the perks, but also for other more important reasons.
Although not directly confirmed, Horikita is apparently the younger sister of Student Council President Horikita Manabu.
Brothers and sisters are in some way identical, not only by surnames.
Besides, Horikita was suddenly so flustered when the teacher just mentioned the student council president... This girl is probably trying so hard to catch up with her older brother from class A.
Still very similar to Yukinoshita...
Obviously they are two completely different people, but Hkigaya sometimes can't help but tie these two people together, it's really hopeless.
Hikigaya smiled self-deprecatingly, he had no intention of denying Horikita's idea and was even a little yearning for such an attitude towards himself.
If it was him in the middle school classes, maybe he would have agreed to help Horikita without being as enthusiastic as when he was in the service department.
But the final result showed that his approach was fundamentally wrong.
The club was disbanded and he parted ways with them.
"Do you understand what I mean, Horikita?
This time, no matter what anyone said, Hikigaya decided to follow his own ideas.
"It doesn't matter what reason you want to go to Class A, it's all up to you. I have no interest or right to interfere, but don't involve me in this. I don't want to create problems for society because of my behavior."
"...Don't you feel dissatisfied when you are treated like a defective product?"
Horikita's voice seemed a little dull, which was very unusual for Ayanokouji.
"No, people always looked down on me anyway." Hikigaya didn't care, "but no matter what others think of me, as long as I know I'm still the same, that's enough." ."
"..."
Horikita fell silent again, this time for a while, and didn't know what she was thinking.
When the other two thought the conversation was over, she suddenly said, "In short, I will never give up."
Hikigaya shook his head, "I said it, it's up to you... Besides, even if you ask me to help you, I've already helped you."
"What?" Horikita looked puzzled.
"Rewards for midterms and final exams," Hikigaya reminded, "not only class scores, but personal scores are also very important, right? You can get 110,000 with your grades and that will definitely be very helpful at the time."
"What's the point? It's not just living expenses. I'm not interested in pleasure. There are still many 100,000 points left, and Chabashira-sensei didn't say that even if you don't have points, you can live in this school."
Looking at Horikita with a disapproving face, what else could Hikigaya say, he could only sigh.
"Forget it... Finally, if your thinking is only at this level, I advise you to get rid of the thought of going to class A early, it will only be a waste of time."
"Huh? Wait a minute..."
Hikigaya ignored Horikita's obstruction and quickly extended the distance. That should be enough to say so much. Whether she can figure it out is Horikita's problem.
In addition, he still has many problems that he does not know how to deal with.
