Ichinose and Koenji signed the contract.
Transferring two million personal points directly into Koenji's hand.
"That..."
Hikigaya looked at this narcissistic guy before him and said with some concern:
"Koenji-kun, Horikita drew the resentment of the whole class to forcibly keep Kushida and let the innocent Sakura drop out. How do you view this matter?"
"I don't have any views."
"..."
Hikigaya's mouth twitched.
Fine.
Koenji probably simply didn't care about the people around him.
Noticing Hikigaya's unusual expression, Koenji looked at the two million personal points that had just arrived in his account, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"It just so happens I just got two million, and I'm in a very good mood, so I'll tell you. You seem to very much dislike Horikita's way of doing things."
"However."
Koenji picked up the hand mirror again and explained indifferently:
"To succeed, one can use careful calculation to bind others together through interests, or one can connect others through trust and feelings."
"Is that so."
Hikigaya nodded and didn't say much more.
Debate was meaningless.
If Koenji was right, even if one took a step back, Horikita Suzune didn't have the strength to calculate the whole world, nor did she fit the gentle sister in Horikita Manabu's words.
Still had to be dealt with.
Only.
He finally understood a bit of Koenji's thoughts.
Koenji might live more transparently than anyone else.
Like Horikita Suzune, who was full of calculations all day, Koenji naturally treated her in the same way.
Even though he also had the idea of rising to Class A, he just had to be deliberately mysterious.
However.
When facing Ichinose.
As long as it didn't involve core issues, Koenji basically responded frankly and didn't care too much.
To be honest.
Wanting to get Koenji to refuse to participate in the Sports Festival for the price of two million.
It was indeed a bit low.
After all, with Koenji's strength, he could also obtain a lot of class points for the class.
He could completely demand some markup.
But Koenji didn't demand these things; being nitpicky in this regard would only make him appear profit-oriented.
Although Koenji being unconventional was no problem.
But when treating different people, Koenji would use different ways. These people with strong individual strength all have their own merits.
Bidding farewell to Koenji.
Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; at least in this way, they wouldn't have to face a powerful enemy, and Class B's chances of winning were one point higher.
"I feel like I had a bit of a misunderstanding about Koenji before."
Kanzaki frowned and said: "He doesn't seem to be as hard to approach as the rumors say. Can we think of a way to get Koenji to transfer to Class B?"
"Persuading Koenji should be a very difficult thing."
Ichinose scratched her hair with some helplessness.
Although Shibata was pretty good, as an ace he was indeed a bit insufficient. If Koenji could be made to join Class B, it would undoubtedly be a huge boost to their combat power.
"Let's not think about persuading Koenji; it's fine as long as we can show results."
Hikigaya was a bit helpless.
Although he only found out after contacting Koenji that he wasn't hard to approach, Koenji clearly had a set of his own judgment standards.
And his insight was a bit terrifying.
Attempting to play mind games with Koenji might only have the opposite effect.
As long as one did their own thing well and could achieve results with the hope of rising to Class A, Koenji should have his own judgment.
However.
One thing could be confirmed.
He had the idea of rising to Class A and would collect personal points.
Clearly.
Koenji didn't place his hope on Horikita Suzune, or he wouldn't pin his hope on anyone.
The next day.
After school.
Hikigaya and the others came to the basketball club.
There was no other way.
During this time, it was also discovered.
Sudo and Horikita Suzune seemed to be very close.
Most of the break time was spent following behind people like Horikita Suzune, or being together with Ike Kanji and the others; he would rarely act alone.
The only opportunity.
Might be this little bit of time after the club activity ended.
On the basketball court.
Sudo Ken relied on his strong physique to easily push two people aside, and then passed the ball to a teammate to pull away.
When the basketball returned to his hands again, Sudo Ken had already found an opportunity for a jump shot.
The basketball formed a beautiful arc in the air.
Accurately flying towards the basket.
Then.
With a bang, the basketball flew outward.
It missed.
But immediately Sudo again relied on his outstanding physical ability to grab the rebound and dunk the ball into the basket.
"Truly amazing..."
Ichinose exclaimed sincerely, and Kanzaki on the side also felt wary.
Sudo Ken's set of movements was smooth and natural.
It was simply too strong.
He might not compare to Koenji, but whether it was Sudo's jumping power, speed, strength, or athletic nerves, they were undoubtedly at a top level.
These were undoubtedly the results Sudo could only achieve through ten years of unremitting training.
Except for projects like the hundred-meter race, Shibata would probably not be his match.
Or.
Simply no one in Class B was his match...
Class D had a bit too many talents.
"Sorry."
Hikigaya frowned and asked somewhat puzzledly: "I don't know much about basketball; with Sudo's grades, he should be a regular member, right?"
"Correct."
Ichinose nodded and said: "With Sudo's strength, it wouldn't be strange if he becomes the basketball club captain next year."
As she spoke.
A match ended.
Sudo clapped hands with several people in celebration and also encouraged the people around him, while at the same time comforting the losing side.
Hikigaya was truly a bit dumbfounded.
He hadn't found anything during the last scouting; was this the Sudo in the basketball club?
How was he completely different from the impression?
"That..."
Hikigaya asked somewhat confusedly: "I remember Sudo had a very violent temper; what's going on with this?"
Although he didn't have much contact with Sudo, he had a deep impression of Sudo's violent temper.
"That's already a matter of a long time ago."
Kanzaki explained with some gravity: "During the last deserted island, I also ran into Sudo and the others; I feel he has already restrained himself a lot and knows how to care about the feelings of the people around him."
"Yeah."
Ichinose also nodded and said: "Actually, I heard from friends in Class D that Sudo seems to already have no small popularity among the Class D girls."
"???"
Hikigaya's head was full of question marks.
The source of the news might be Karuizawa and the others; Ichinose would clearly also chat with them about some topics.
However, it wasn't strange.
Although Sudo didn't look that great, his height was good, and his athletic ability was outstanding; it was also normal to be welcomed by a certain part of people as long as he showed a bit of restraint.
Only then did Hikigaya click on Sudo Ken's OAA.
Second-year Class D: Sudo Ken.
Academic Ability: C+
Physical Ability: A+
Decisiveness: C
Social Contribution: C+
Comprehensive Strength: B
"Hiss..."
Hikigaya was simply stunned.
He originally thought Sudo was just a guy with outstanding physical ability and a violent temper, not worth mentioning.
Unexpectedly.
Unknowingly.
Sudo had already grown to such a point that even his academic grades were about to catch up with his.
Looking at Sudo being supported by everyone in the field, Hikigaya's mouth twitched.
He originally had great confidence that he could casually provoke Sudo, but now he felt it was a bit shaky.
Is this guy using a cheat?
Class D.
One class, three perverts.
How can this even be played?
