Ultimately.
Nagumo Miyabi approved them all.
As long as it involved the philosophy of individual strength above all, he wouldn't give someone a hard time.
If you want to exploit it, then go ahead and exploit it.
Saving such a tiny bit of private points wouldn't be of much use anyway.
But rules were rules.
"No matter how many people you pull into the Wool Club, the annual club report won't be skipped."
"Uh... that can wait until later."
Hikigaya gave a dry laugh.
The Wool Club could at least be maintained until next April.
The implication.
Wait until you graduate. Nagumo Miyabi glanced at Ichinose beside him; by then, the Student Council President would likely come from either Ichinose or Horikita Suzune.
If Ichinose became the Student Council President.
Wanting to continue plucking wool would surely be easier.
"Forget it. Is there anything else? If not, get out."
Nagumo Miyabi held his forehead with one hand and waved the other casually.
While he recognized Hikigaya's strength.
This guy had such tiny ambitions, only thinking about how to take these small advantages; it was useless.
As expected, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka could attract his interest more.
"Oh, one more thing."
With that.
Hikigaya quickly pulled out his phone and directly transferred two million private points to Nagumo Miyabi.
"Hmm?"
Receiving the transfer, Nagumo Miyabi frowned in confusion.
"Hikigaya, what do you mean by this?"
"There's something I want to ask of President Nagumo."
Hikigaya forced a smile and began to fawn: "I heard President Nagumo has control over the entire third year. For this Cultural Festival, I hope President Nagumo can help out and have the seniors from the third year visit our shop more."
"As long as they can spend one million, that's enough. Another five hundred thousand is the commission for President Nagumo, and the remaining five hundred thousand you can handle as you see fit."
Simply put.
Since the winner is decided by turnover, let the third-years help them pad the sales.
Convert private points into class points.
"Oh?"
Nagumo Miyabi rubbed his chin and didn't take it to heart.
It was indeed a feasible plan.
Being able to think of this method was Hikigaya's strength; this matter could only be done by him.
This was naturally also his, Nagumo Miyabi's, strength.
"Hikigaya~."
Nagumo Miyabi gazed at Hikigaya playfully:
"You transferred the private points directly to me; aren't you afraid I'll take the money and go back on my word?"
"Not at all."
Hikigaya's expression was serious: "I fully believe President Nagumo is a senior worthy of trust."
"Heh..."
Nagumo Miyabi tapped the table, gazing at Hikigaya playfully.
Guess if I believe you?
If someone else said they trusted him, Nagumo Miyabi would naturally believe it, but when Hikigaya said such words, Nagumo Miyabi clearly didn't believe it.
"It's just..."
Hikigaya said with a flattering smile: "I hope President Nagumo can give Class B more support before graduation."
"Heh..."
Nagumo Miyabi was actually amused.
Not only was he plucking school wool, he was actually plucking it from his head now.
However.
It had to be said.
This was a very clever move; being an enemy with him was certainly unwise, but the two couldn't really be called enemies.
As long as he could master the third year and get Nagumo Miyabi's support.
It would be a super beneficial thing for Class B.
Like this Cultural Festival—simply letting the third-years pad their sales would make entering the top four effortless.
This guy was here to surrender.
No.
A big tree provides good shade.
Knowing how to take a side and borrow momentum—it had to be said—was also a kind of strength.
More importantly.
Besides getting private points for free, there was indeed something that needed someone to do.
"You want me to support Class B in the future as well."
Nagumo Miyabi sat up straight, hands crossed as he gazed at the Hikigaya before him.
"Yes!"
"It just so happens I have something for you to do."
Nagumo Miyabi's gaze was deep: "Regardless of success or failure, I guarantee you'll reach Class A by graduation!"
Ichinose on the side didn't think anything of it.
She only thought Hikigaya and Nagumo Miyabi were discussing a collaboration.
Reaching Class A this way.
Not only was it efficient, the probability of success was extremely high.
"I am willing to serve President Nagumo like a loyal dog."
Hikigaya stood up and bowed.
When flattering, he discarded his dignity and flattered to the very end.
This was his pride.
"Don't worry, it's not hard."
Nagumo Miyabi showed a satisfied smile: "You just need to go deal with Ayanokouji from Class D."
"Uh..."
"Is there a problem?"
"No..."
Hikigaya forced a smile and fawned: "It's just that I feel that guy seems unfathomable; I might not be his match."
"I think, when there are special exams for the second year, I'll report all the exam content to you."
"Then President Nagumo can be responsible for formulating the strategy, and we'll be responsible for executing it, how about that?"
"..."
Nagumo Miyabi's mouth twitched.
A person being too sensible can also leave one a bit speechless.
Forget it.
Anyway, he hadn't planned to give the chance to deal with Ayanokouji to Hikigaya; it was meant to be him.
"Don't worry; then you just need to be obedient. You two can leave now."
Nagumo Miyabi waved his hand somewhat impatiently.
Being sensible and knowing how to cling to a strong person's thigh is indeed good, but being humble to this degree—it's inevitable that people will look down on you.
"Yes."
Hikigaya bowed and turned to leave with Ichinose.
After the two left.
Nagumo Miyabi leaned against his chair, put his legs on the table, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
Unexpectedly.
Happiness came so suddenly.
He easily gained a useful pawn.
It had to be said.
Class B could use the third year to reach Class A, and he could gain the chance to directly clash with Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.
A win-win!
Thinking of this, Nagumo Miyabi couldn't help but feel a bit excited, his gaze sharpening.
"Ayanokouji, I want to see just how outstanding you really are. This time, you won't be able to hide."
Nagumo Miyabi frankly admitted.
He was clearly no match for Ayanokouji in terms of physical force, but strength consists of more than just force.
Let him try.
How Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's strategic planning ability is.
...
On the other side.
Leaving the school building.
Ichinose and Hikigaya walked side by side.
"How was it?"
Hikigaya said awkwardly: "Was I very pathetic just now?"
"A little bit, indeed."
Ichinose nodded, then shook her head and smiled dismissively:
"But, Hikki, this was all to get everyone to Class A, right?"
"I suppose so."
A slight curve appeared at the corner of Hikigaya's mouth.
Since everyone thought so, then there was no problem.
He wondered if Nagumo Miyabi had things going too smoothly.
Thinking too highly of himself.
Only caring about the strong ones he noticed, with zero interest in the weaklings.
As long as individual strength is great, it doesn't matter?
As long as one is strong, anything can be done?
One can just indulge oneself like this?
Naive Ike.
Nagumo Miyabi's attention must be entirely on Ayanokouji right now, even looking forward to a clash between strongmen.
To confirm if he himself is truly a strong person.
Heh.
Prepare to accept society's brutal beatdown.
