Next day.
Second Year D-Class.
Horikita Suzune sat in her seat, hands crossed and resting against her chin, her gaze deep as she stared ahead, having a bit of a commander's feeling.
There was no hush money.
Ryuuen directly sold out Hikigaya.
Anyway, the personal points had already been received, and the contract had been shown to Horikita Suzune.
The scolding should continue, and the cooperation should also continue.
Horikita Suzune didn't take it to heart, knowing Ryuuen's petty behavior.
The only problem was.
Horikita Suzune truly couldn't figure out.
Why Hikigaya would do this, and what benefit doing this would bring to B-Class.
No matter how she thought.
Horikita Suzune couldn't understand it.
After all, there was still a gap between D-Class and B-Class; instead of targeting D-Class, shouldn't Hikigaya be thinking about how to rise to A-Class?
Even if there was cooperation with Katsuragi.
He should also be thinking about widening the gap with C-Class; how did it end up hitting D-Class's head?
Only this question.
Not just Horikita Suzune, but even Ayanokouji couldn't figure it out.
The only possibility.
Was that Hikigaya was speaking out against the injustice for Sakura Airi.
But Hikigaya was clearly not that kind of person.
Even if one didn't trust Hikigaya, one could completely trust Sakura Airi!
If.
Hikigaya really attacked D-Class for this kind of reason, Sakura Airi would most likely inevitably stop Hikigaya.
Avoiding causing trouble for those around her because of her own influence, right?
Sakura Airi's kindness could be fully trusted.
After all.
Sakura Airi volunteered to drop out of school.
Horikita Suzune fully believed that Sakura Airi was not a student who would cause trouble for those around her.
However.
Whatever the reason.
Since he would spend personal points to hire Ryuuen to verbally abuse D-Class, it undoubtedly shows that Hikigaya's mind is made up and he definitely won't be easily persuaded.
Horikita Suzune didn't take it to heart, not feeling that this was a problem.
Wanting to use such a method to crush D-Class.
Is clearly impossible.
In these two years, D-Class has already had sufficient growth, Horikita Suzune has such confidence.
"Horikita."
Ike Kanji said somewhat hesitantly.
After all, when going to school today, he accidentally ran into people from C-Class and was scolded again, which was truly uncomfortable.
"Didn't you say you went to ask Ryuuen yesterday? How was the situation?"
"Hmm, the situation has been clearly investigated."
Horikita Suzune took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "It was Hikigaya who hired Ryuuen to have people from C-Class continue to discuss the Unanimous Special Exam around us."
"Eh?"
The first to react was Karuizawa, who suddenly panicked.
"That's impossible, why would Hikki do such a thing? Horikita, even if you have no solution, you don't need to lie to us."
"This is also what I am currently thinking about."
Horikita Suzune gave her a calm look, "If you don't believe it, you can go and ask Ryuuen. I believe he will be very happy to show the contract with Hikigaya's signature on it."
Not surprising.
D-Class and B-Class are hostile towards each other; Ryuuen probably wishes they would start fighting quickly.
But this is not a beneficial choice for D-Class.
If facing the combined suppression of A and B-Classes, D-Class would probably be in trouble; Horikita Suzune wants to resolve it peacefully if possible.
"But..."
Ike Kanji said somewhat irritably, "Then what should we do, or rather, since Hikigaya hired people to scold us, how much longer do we have to endure?"
"They signed a three-month contract."
Horikita Suzune rubbed her temples and said, "But from what Ryuuen said, Hikigaya might let this kind of thing continue indefinitely."
This is clearly impossible.
One million per month is not a small amount.
This kind of thing can't last for long.
B-Class now has over 900 class points, and the class receives nearly four million every month.
Even if Hikigaya has the funds to let this continue until graduation.
Such a small matter wouldn't bring any benefit to B-Class, right?
At least.
Horikita Suzune couldn't figure it out; surely no one would want to keep accepting this level of loss, wouldn't it just benefit C-Class for nothing?
Ayanokouji on the side was also somewhat bewildered, truly unable to think of Hikigaya's reason for doing this.
It was a practice so stupid it couldn't be any stupider.
Stupid to the extreme, it had exceeded the scope of Ayanokouji's understanding.
Even if one said Hikigaya had fallen for Horikita Suzune's beauty, it didn't seem like it.
Who would like someone and yet work against them at every turn?
Even if there were such people.
But Hikigaya was clearly not that kind of character.
"What?"
Sato Maya said with some annoyance: "Does that mean we have to be scolded by people until graduation? That's way too terrible."
"Yeah, Karuizawa."
Matsushita Chiaki knit her brows and said with some dissatisfaction: "Aren't you dating Hikigaya? He didn't tell you about this?"
"Eh... I'm not very clear about it either."
"Then what exactly does that guy mean? Can't you just make him stop?"
Matsushita Chiaki was simply speechless.
If people were just discussing it, it wouldn't be strange, but what did Hikigaya mean by this?
Targeting D-Class without a single benefit.
Is there something wrong with his brain?
Is this someone fit to be a class leader?
"Eh!?"
Feeling the dissatisfied gazes from everyone, Karuizawa's face stiffened, and she quickly said:
"I'll try to talk to him? However, Hikki is likely trying to stand up for Sakura; actually, he's that kind of person who hates seeing his own people get bullied most."
Dammit.
Karuizawa was getting a bit angry; she had no knowledge of this matter at all.
Before Hikigaya was going to do it, couldn't he have notified her?
If she hadn't been clever and quick-witted, it would probably have caused public outrage.
These guys would very likely take out their dissatisfaction with Hikigaya on her.
Fortunately.
Karuizawa quickly stated her position, saying she would definitely talk to Hikigaya, but she couldn't guarantee if it would be effective.
Karuizawa also stood on the moral high ground.
Using morality as a weapon.
Hikigaya wanted to avenge Sakura Airi; there was nothing that could be done about that.
Regarding the matter of expelling Sakura Airi.
They didn't know if it was right or wrong either.
...
Looking at the noisy class.
Horikita Suzune sat in her place like a commander, her face calm as she watched the scene before her.
She believed everyone could endure.
Wanting to crush D-Class with such a method was impossible!
However.
The problem was right in front of them.
It was best to resolve it as soon as possible; otherwise, if any unpredictable consequences occurred, it would only lead to regret.
Horikita Suzune was already clear about this point.
However.
Horikita Suzune was also clear.
She herself could not persuade Hikigaya.
Spending such a high amount of personal points was enough to show Hikigaya's determination in doing this.
But.
She couldn't think of Hikigaya's reason for doing this, nor was she clear on Hikigaya's goal, and her relationship with Hikigaya was merely as acquaintances.
Asking her to persuade Hikigaya to stop was clearly an impossible task.
There were only two people in D-Class who could persuade Hikigaya.
Karuizawa Kei and Hasebe Haruka!
Clearly.
Karuizawa had high status in the class and many friends, and she was very clever and had already stated her position; as for whether she could persuade Hikigaya to stop.
This was unclear.
Try to avoid placing hope on an unreliable person like Karuizawa.
Thinking of this.
Horikita Suzune turned her head to look at Hasebe Haruka.
This would be much more reliable.
Hasebe Haruka was someone who loved and hated deeply and had a straightforward personality; as long as her agreement was obtained, it was believed Hasebe Haruka could definitely do her best to persuade Hikigaya.
And.
It wasn't a solution for Hasebe Haruka to keep being difficult like this.
By the way, her matter could be resolved together.
Thinking of this.
Horikita Suzune stood up and walked towards Hasebe Haruka.
