"Hm?"
Hearing Hikigaya's words, the five adults couldn't help but stop their pace, and the people around also couldn't help but look at Hikigaya in the Student Council President's seat.
No one else had an objection.
Just this one brat actually dared to have an objection?
"Yagami maliciously injured someone, resulting in Komiya's serious injury; expulsion is certain."
Hikigaya walked in front of the several people and said in a cold voice:
"But according to Yagami's speculation, today's matter was set up by Ayanokouji. We still need Yagami to stay and assist the investigation; before the investigation is clear, you cannot let him be taken away by you."
"Otherwise, this is unfair, isn't it?"
Yagami was certainly wrong.
He should be punished, he should be expelled.
But on what grounds should the person behind the scenes be left unharmed? Does Yagami Takuya not have human rights anymore?
Even if Ayanokouji didn't hurt anyone, all the victims present should have the right to know.
"And here I was wondering what you wanted to say."
"Did you not hear the words just now? Personnel related to Yagami and Amasawa. This matter will be handled by us."
The leading man had his hands in his pockets and said in a flat voice:
"This matter has already been cleared with Chairman Sakayanagi. In addition, please do not inform other teachers and students of what happened here."
The implication was.
Are you people even worthy to ask me for fairness?
This is reality.
"Is this an order?"
Hikigaya's face was a bit unsightly as he said: "If it's a request, I'll just treat it as if I didn't hear it. What we choose to speculate is our right as students, is it not?"
You say don't tell and we don't tell.
There is no such unreasonable thing in the world.
"Hikki..."
Ichinose couldn't help but quietly try to dissuade him, and Nanase Tsubasa and Ryuuen, even Amasawa, Yagami Takuya, Ibuki, and the others.
The looks everyone used to watch Hikigaya were also a bit off.
The people before them were clearly all remarkable figures; singing a different tune obviously didn't have any benefits.
Hikigaya felt truly disgusted.
Being the Student Council Vice President, Komiya's rights naturally needed to be maintained; if there was a chance, he would naturally assist Ryuuen in finding the real culprit.
But Yagami Takuya's rights likewise needed to be maintained.
"You..."
The leading middle-aged man narrowed his eyes.
Even the teachers around had no objection, he didn't expect a problem to arise here with a student.
"Did no one ever teach you to listen to teachers when you were little?"
"Unfortunately, I've been a disobedient child since I was little."
The corner of Hikigaya's mouth curled into an arc.
This was something that happened in the Student Council, and they still wanted to gag them, what a joke.
"Is that so. Then you'd best watch yourself."
So saying.
The leading man turned again with Yagami and the others to leave, after all, if they wanted to leave, there was nothing that could be done.
However.
Hikigaya blocked them once again.
"What is it this time?"
The leading man narrowed his eyes, this time he was truly a bit angry.
This is the kind of student Advanced Nurturing educates, and he's even a Vice President, how can he be so ignorant.
"Wait, let me say two words to him."
After all, having already cleared it with Chairman Sakayanagi, Hikigaya naturally knew he couldn't stop them, and turned to look at the powerless Yagami Takuya, saying in a deep voice:
"Sorry, I didn't mean to look down on you."
"To be honest, I'm still completely confused even now, that you could think through clues that you were set up by Ayanokouji."
Just now.
No matter what was said, Yagami Takuya only treated it as a time-stalling tactic.
However.
Now that expulsion was set, he could instead feel Hikigaya's sincerity.
Yagami Takuya was not weak.
Fighting them was like fighting little chicks, and his academic grades were definitely far above all of them.
Clearly.
Yagami Takuya was not weak.
If even this counted as weak, what would that make the rest of them.
After saying this.
Hikigaya then made way.
However, hearing his words, Yagami Takuya's expression instantly distorted, tears held back with difficulty in the corners of his eyes, and mindful of the instructors around he also could not move.
In the end.
"Yagami-kun, you are already impressive enough."
"Waaaa..."
Yagami Takuya completely broke down, tears falling as if a dam had burst, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes and howling in loud sobs.
"Who wants recognition from a piece of trash like you, get out, get out, I don't want to see you."
Finished speaking.
Under the surrounding of the people, the howling and crying Yagami Takuya and Amasawa Ichika were taken away.
Watching the backs of the several people leaving, Hikigaya's expression was complex.
Yagami Takuya was actually just like him, right?
No matter how hard he worked from a young age, he could never get anyone's recognition, which is why he developed such a distorted and extremely fragile personality.
This was clearly not Yagami Takuya's problem.
Rather, it was the problem of the White Room.
What he needed was just a single word of recognition.
Hikigaya also wasn't necessarily going to save him, he was just telling the truth, he didn't look down on Yagami Takuya's qualifications.
At least.
In terms of personal strength.
Yagami Takuya was much stronger than all of them.
...
After the several people left.
The Student Council room was silent.
The rampaging Yagami Takuya left a deep impression on everyone; even the Nanase Tsubasa who just entered noticed the atmosphere was a bit off.
"Honami, Horikita, Nanase."
Looking at the Ibuki Mio still lying on the ground, only then did Hikigaya speak:
"I'll trouble you to take Ibuki to the infirmary to have a look first, Mashima-sensei you go to the infirmary to have a look too, Ryuuen you guys can go back too."
"Ah, yes."
Only then did Ichinose and the others recover their senses and run to Ibuki Mio's side, while Advisor Mashima and the others were also somewhat silent.
They never expected.
To encounter such a dangerous thing.
In the end, it actually needed a student to take charge.
".That..."
After a moment of hesitation, Ryuuen still said in a deep voice: "Thanks for earlier..."
If it weren't for Hikigaya helping at the critical moment, he really might have died
Clearly he just wanted to have a fight with Yagami.
He didn't know what kind of madness this guy suddenly fell into, his first reaction was actually to kill someone.
"Don't misunderstand."
Hikigaya glanced at him and said: "This is just the duty of the Student Council."
Ryuuen might have gained a lot of convenience because of his violence.
But he would inevitably suffer a severe setback.
To the point where he wouldn't even have a chance to regret it.
He would choose to help.
Naturally it wasn't for such a lofty reason as saving Ryuuen, it was merely out of Student Council duty.
A violent incident was occurring before his eyes.
As a member of the Student Council, how could he not stop it.
If not for this identity.
Hikigaya could guarantee he would have been the first to run, who would care about so much crap.
Of course.
After all, these were his own choices, and Hikigaya wouldn't force the people around him to be just like him.
Therefore.
Horikita Suzune hadn't taken action all along, and Hikigaya didn't say much.
After all, Yagami Takuya looked like he really wanted to kill someone; people like Horikita Suzune and Advisor Sakagami taking a step back for self-preservation
was naturally beyond reproach.
But if he were to use people.
Hikigaya would naturally also incline toward a reliable existence like Advisor Mashima.
Though Advisor Mashima's strength didn't seem like much either.
He was taken down by Yagami Takuya in one hit.
But at least he dared to stand up at the critical moment, which was already very impressive.
"Is that so..."
"Alright, I'll trouble you with these things, I want to rest for a bit first."
Watching the departing crowd.
Hikigaya sat back in the boss chair, his calves still a bit weak.
Upon leaving.
Horikita Suzune and Ibuki Mio and the others looked back at Hikigaya.
Clearly.
Hikigaya was not cowardly.
It's just that there was really no necessity for many of the things they did.
