The people of Class D were firing at shadows.
They hurled unreservedly malicious abuse at Hikigaya, giving Hasebe Haruka an even stronger urge to vomit.
A class she used to think was pretty good was now truly becoming more disgusting the more she looked at it.
People are like this.
The more critical the moment, the more they like to find excuses for themselves.
"Heh..."
Hasebe Haruka sneered and said: "Why don't you go say it to his face?"
As soon as these words came out.
Ike Kanji and the others' faces stiffened, and their faces became even more heated.
They naturally knew what was right and what was wrong; this kind of thing is easy to do but hard to talk about.
They just, in the choice between humanity and interests...
It was a failure.
There is no true right or wrong in this kind of matter.
It is just that.
Since such a choice was made, one must bear the corresponding price!
Furthermore.
Aside from being a bit sarcastic, Hikiigaya told nothing but the truth, without adding any oil or vinegar.
Expelling Sakura Airi,
And then going to Class B to ask Hikigaya to delete the post right in front of Sakura Airi?
They couldn't afford to lose that kind of face!
They truly didn't have the nerve.
"Heh..."
Hasebe Haruka gave a cold sneer.
It was hypocritical to the extreme.
"Everyone, calm down."
At this time, Sudou Ken patted Ike Kanji on the shoulder and spoke somewhat helplessly:
"Didn't Suzune already say it? Once this limelight passes, everyone will stop caring."
"That's right."
Seeing this.
Hirata Yousuke also stood up to soothe them, his face still wearing a sunny smile.
"There's no need to be so angry. Since we made the choice, this might be the price we have to bear. I believe it will pass soon."
"Since that's the case, why don't we change our way of thinking?"
"Having made such a choice, if we still can't rise to Class A, we would not only be failing Sakura-san, but also failing our own hearts."
"Wouldn't that be too much of a pity?"
"Indeed."
Yukimura nodded with a grim expression.
Fortunately.
Class D has grown somewhat over these two years; although everyone felt uncomfortable, they were willing to endure.
If they failed to reach Class A like this, they would likely live in self-reproach for the rest of their lives.
It would be better to transform this incident into the motivation to reach Class A.
Watching this scene.
Horikita Suzune couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, a smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
This incident.
Instead of crushing Class D, it would make Class D even more united.
This class is now very, very strong!
Having stayed at the bottom for so long, other classes might not understand Class D's hunger for Class A.
With such a firm will! There is no reason for Class D not to rise to Class A.
What is more important now.
"Kushida."
Horikita Suzune turned, walked up to Kushida Kikyou, and said with a serious expression:
"So, I understand that you are willing to continue contributing to the class, there should be no problem, right?"
"Who knows?"
Kushida Kikyou sat in her seat.
With a hint of playfulness at the corner of her mouth, she didn't directly refuse.
Having dealt with these disgusting people all along.
Kushida Kikyou understood human nature far better than Horikita Suzune or even Ayanokouji, but she also had her own flaws.
As long as she exposed their little secrets a bit, the class would collapse.
Surprise.
Unity?
In Kushida Kikyou's eyes, it simply didn't exist.
This kind of fake friendship, a relationship as fragile as thin paper, would shatter at a single touch.
As for her?
She just came back to school to see Horikita Suzune suffer.
Although being expelled like that wouldn't have mattered, Kushida Kikyou just wanted to watch Horikita Suzune suffer.
On the other side.
Before class.
Hikigaya, along with Ichinose and Himeno Yuki, brought Sakura Airi to the Class B classroom, only to find that no one was surprised.
"You must be Sakura-san, you are truly very beautiful."
"We already roughly know what happened in Class D. Horikita and the others were really too much."
"Rest assured, we will definitely protect you. If anything happens, Sakura-san must tell us."
"Really, for Hikki to keep it from us, that's too much."
"Oh... sorry..."
Looking at Kobashi Yume and the others pulling Sakura Airi's small hand, Hikigaya looked somewhat helplessly at Ichinose beside him.
No doubt.
The news most likely leaked from Ichinose or Himeno Yuki.
"What happened?"
"I told them, but I also reminded everyone to keep it a good secret."
Ichinose nodded frankly and smiled: "Actually, I think Hikki can trust us a bit more, there's no need to hide things from everyone."
"Is that so..."
Looking at the harmonious scene before him.
Hikigaya nodded, a smile inadvertently appearing at the corner of his mouth.
He didn't suspect anything.
After all, Ichinose certainly knew the people of Class B better than he did.
Perhaps.
He really could trust them a bit more.
Even though Ichinose told Kobashi Yume and the others, no news had been heard over the past two days.
Clearly.
The secrecy work was done very well.
They might have chatted about it in private, but no one discussed the topic of Sakura Airi openly.
Most importantly.
Spending twenty million private points to save Sakura Airi.
Although it was Hikigaya's personal money, it was also the class's money.
Even if it were to be used.
This money clearly could have been used on the class; this was undoubtedly equivalent to infringing on collective interests for private ideas.
Surprisingly, not a single person pointed a finger in blame.
Even a guy like Kanzaki, who wanted to rise to Class A, didn't say much; they were clearly all kind-hearted people.
Having heard about Sakura Airi's matter.
Everyone was very clear that Sakura Airi was innocent, feeling more pity for her.
Soon.
After a simple chat.
Kobashi Yume led Sakura Airi to her seat, which happened to be behind Hikigaya; since she was a newly inserted student, it couldn't be helped.
Hikigaya also sat back in his seat, took out his phone, and opened the forum.
It was also time to let the school know about this matter.
[Shock! The 100% Way to Reach Class A in Advanced Nurturing]
Writing the title.
Hikigaya began organizing the content.
There was no need to add oil or vinegar; just telling the truth was enough.
In the past.
It was because of being too stubbornly casual that he ended up alone, eventually reaching a point where he couldn't change anything.
Not that there was anything wrong with that.
However.
Hikigaya was very clear.
Once some things are done, there is no turning back.
Misunderstandings cannot be resolved.
One's own thoughts are not important in the eyes of others; the more critical the moment, the more people will judge arbitrarily.
Although it wasn't clear why Horikita Suzune made such a choice—whether it was intentional or an accident?
But likely.
Even Horikita Suzune herself was unclear.
What a tragic price her actions would pay.
However.
Any price is one she must bear; you pay for what you do yourself.
Such a huge flaw, it was impossible for Hikigaya not to utilize it.
You can't let someone do something but not let others talk about it, right?
Even if the kind Ichinose might stop at the right moment, Hikigaya would not.
Food should be eaten bite by bite, and the path should be walked step by step.
This time.
He would trample Class D to death.
Let Horikita Suzune know how terribly wrong she was!
