Chapter 271

Suzune who knows nothing.

'But, Kushida, do you really understand? You feel most confident that Sakayanagi will give you the test paper. But do you think she will give you a real one?' Hachiman knew she was just cutting her time for his reaction.

Let's see if he will take action during his slump.

'So, Horikita is still honest, but the chances of winning for you, Kushida, are actually in my hands!' Hachiman hasn't made a move yet.

But he felt that Sakayanagi might take some action after he sent a message to Kushida that bet was continuing.

Just at this moment, when he came to the class, students exploded.

"I really didn't expect that Horikita-san would——"

"But that's really too surprising. She was injured for class during the Sports Festival!"

"That must have been an accident."

"After all, she has a brother who is the Student council president, very different from oth—"

They were discussing a rumor that had spread in evening.

"Why--" Suzune was originally studying, but she couldn't focus now at all.

But a student had already walked up to her, "Hey, Horikita-san, is your brother really the Student council president?!"

"Then can you please give us the test paper for this exam? It's very difficult to read!"

"…"

'Kushida just found out that Horikita is the president's sister. But now it has been exposed immediately. Moreover, it was not earlier or later, but now. There is a high possibility that news was released by Kushida.'

But Hachiman still felt this was not her work.

'Because Kushida probably still foolishly believes that as long as Sakayanagi gives her the math test paper, she will definitely win, so there is no need to continue to mess up Horikita Suzune's mentality.'

But now, exposure of this relationship can mess up the mentality of weak Horikita sister.

Although it's a bit sorry to say this, Hachiman doesn't think Kushida is that smart. 'Probably Sakayanagi's guidance, who seemed like a good person last night as she treated me to dinner, but today ruthlessly attacked the representative of my class.'

Hachiman is feeling a little tired.

"Why--" Suzune noticed that most people were staring at her.

And just listening to it, she turned pale.

Student council president, brother.

Horikita and Student council president are blood siblings!

The mere fact this news spread was enough to devastate her.

Especially now brother's class is not so stable.

Grade 3

Class A 2154 points

Class B 1730 points

Class C, 410 points

Class D: 0 points

Among them, Class A of Grade 3 was only 400 points ahead of Class B.

So if she had an impact on her brother... then all his efforts over the past three years might be ruined.

"Um... Horikita-san, we don't need to study so hard this time. Since you have a brother who is the student council president, you must have some inside information!"

This time, amidst all the discussion, there was only one person who took the initiative to walk up to Horikita Suzune.

That's someone who doesn't know how to read the atmosphere.

Yamauchi.

But this time, he represented voice of most poor students.

As a member of the student council, Karuizawa had helped them cheat and contributed papers, which meant that everyone had the experience of "getting something for nothing"

And now Suzune actually has the simple identity of being the student council president's sister, which means...

Don't have to study this time.

Because student course has a lot of power.

Hachiman glanced at Kushida, who didn't meet his eyes, and just looked down at the floor, becoming extremely pitiful.

But she quickly converged.

3rd POV

When meeting Kushida, Suzune once said that she didn't want to embarrass her brother, Horikita Manabu, who is the student council president, because of her identity.

In other words, she absolutely rejects the idea of other people knowing that she and Horikita Manabu are siblings.

It is not that Suzune didn't like her brother, but feels inferiority.

Feel that she will drag his legs and become a weapon for the enemy to attack Manabu.

Not only was she unable to help, but also became a burden or something.

Suzune is quite a disgusting girl to exist inside her family.

Now, her brother and sister relationship has been promoted.

"You get a lot of things from elder brother of the student president, so there is nothing wrong to give us a little benefit!" Yamauchi was definitely having a moment right now.

"What do you say ... what did I get?" Suzune's life status has become dejected.

"This lesson has been taken off!" Hachiman stood up directly, and then pulled the girl out who felt naked, directly with a tough attitude.

It may also be because Suzune don't know how to deal with the scene just now.

This time, she was very obedient!

It should be said that she now has no self-protection of a hedgehog at all.

This girl really lost her combat effectiveness.

However, he did not pull her to escape at will, but deliberately pulled her out.

There were seniors who just causally strolled outside, didn't give any pointers to Suzune.

'This shows that rumors suddenly produced have not affected the senior grade yet. Or maybe this was just a self-directed performance by lower grades, and they didn't intend to make a big deal out of it.' Hachiman forcibly pulled her to the playground.

"..." Suzune said nothing.

'And, here I got worried that Kushida will become a dead-tuna for being overworked too much!' He felt really stupid and incredible for dragging her.

'Or maybe her emotions haven't stabilized yet.'

But, Hachiman still had to speak, "...Calm down. Although I have roughly guessed what happened, there are rumors circulating in the class that are unfavorable to you. And this was Kushida's plan. She must have spread it."

In fact, he thought that Sakayanagi was the one behind.

But Suzune had no contact with a Lolita girl like Sakayanagi during this period, so he just took the blame on Kushida, who she was familiar with.

And Suzune might have some reaction to confrontation, conspiracy, plan, etc.

Hachiman guessed that reason why Suzune was afraid of such rumors was simply because she felt that her existence might bring danger to the idol's brother, and that she would not be able to help and would even be a hindrance.

This inferiority complex.

"???" Suzune. "I will try to calm down."

"But—" She held Hachiman's hand, "How can I calm down!? The whole class, the whole class knows... everyone knows... I will definitely be used as material to attack my brother, and it will cause trouble for him."

Suzune was very emotional.

"Like Yamauchi just now, he directly asked me if I got any information from my brother... Isn't this already damaging his reputation? When we entered school, my brother also said that if my sister was assigned to Class D, he would be the one to be embarrassed..."

???

Hachiman looked at her widely.

'What a cute sister. And if it was a strategy of attacking the heart, then Sakayanagi's plan was successful. Horikita's combat power is now weakened.'

Hachiman placed a hand on Suzune's trembling shoulder, "There's something wrong with the way you think. Rather than saying it bad, can actually be seen as a good thing! Because earlier other people don't know that you are President's sister, but now? You are in Class A! It can be understood that you led Class D to be promoted to A! Isn't this good enough? This is something that will bring honor to President. And it will also make a name for itself!"

Hachiman was using his old tactics again to calm down racing heart, "So your appearance is definitely not a negative influence, but a positive outcome! So, this is actually good news. We should thank person who spread the rumor, rig---Oh hey Kushida-san!"

Hachiman glanced behind Suzune, and there, standing a girl with short blond hair, who later hadn't noticed.

The short-haired girl seemed to be dissatisfied all of a sudden when she heard Hachiman comforting Suzune.

Because she probably didn't consider that rumor would actually be beneficial to Suzune.

"After all, the only people who would want to take advantage of your status as the President's sister are the idiots in your class. Just ignore those background students, am I right, Kushida-san?!"

"💢" Kushida-san. 'Don't use honorifics on me, you fis----'

"Okay, Horikita, you go back to the dormitory first. And Kushida, you come here!"

'Fuck!' Kushida already smelled a crisp of gunpowder tickling her nostrils.
