Chapter 19: COTE:019
Chapter 19
Hikigaya's phone was still vibrating, and the 99+ message made Hikigaya not even want to open it for a moment.
At this time, a reply-to-all function is very important. Just write what you want to say in a box and then select all contacts.
"OK!"
Lying in bed again, Hikigaya just felt that life was wonderful.
In one day, we exchanged contact information of almost all my classmates. This feeling is really terrible. I hope I will never experience it again in my life.
Hikigaya had just laid down on the bed when he heard that devilish voice coming from the phone again.
This time, it was the phone ringing.
"Moses Moses..."
"It's me."
"Who are you?"
"Horikita Suzune."
"Oh oh... just say no."
Hikigaya muttered quietly, but this time Horikita Suzune didn't pay much attention to it and chose to pretend not to hear it.
"Meet at the library after class tomorrow afternoon."
"What?"
"Beep beep beep beep…"
The only sound coming from the other end of the phone was the sound of the phone being hung up.
Hikigaya breathed a sigh of relief. In a way, this guy didn't even give him the chance to ask questions. This strong feeling of being used instantly brought him back from his high spirits.
But...it still feels good this way.
He did not complain too much. Instead, he sent the information about tomorrow's gathering to Yamauchi, Sudo, Ike and Kushida, and then fell into a deep sleep.
**
[Sudou: "If I remember correctly... I think there is a high probability that we will be scolded by Horikita and leave unhappily during this study session."]
[ike: "Yeah, I still remember it..."]
[Horikita: "Although I certainly didn't think things through at the time, a big part of the reason is that you guys are too stupid."]
[Yamauchi: "That's right, that's right. With this arrogant look, I can already feel how high the chances of failure are."]
[Kushida Kikyo: "Is it possible...even if Hikigaya is here?"]
[Ayanokouji watched the video in front of him. He had a very deep memory of this scene. If it weren't for the failure of the study session, he and Kushida wouldn't have gone to the seniors to buy the exam papers from the previous year.]
[Because we still need to use Horikita, we absolutely cannot let the students in the class drop out at that time. Otherwise, we will not have the means to threaten Horikita with Class A, which is why we have to use 100,000 points to buy one point to save Sudo. ]
[If a classmate dropped out of the class, she must have known that she would not gamble on such a thing until she had a thorough understanding of the school's rules.]
[Now, the past is about to reappear. ]
[Ayanokouji just looked at the boy in front of him. Regardless of whether he could successfully hold this study session, it would be difficult to save Sudo with the current time. So what would he do then? ]
[Not only Ayanokouji, but also the leader of Class A, Sakayanagi, the leader of Class B, Ichinose, and the leader of Class C, Ryuen, were watching the video in front of them at the same time.]
[What kind of surprise can he bring? ]
**
The next day came quickly. Although Hikigaya still returned to the classroom with a nervous mood, fortunately, today seemed to have returned to normal and everyone calmed down after a night.
Sure enough, I am the only one who cares about this kind of thing.
Compared with the previous class atmosphere, the current class atmosphere is much better. At least there are no more gazes coming over from time to time.
Probably after the apology, the classmates were in a much better mood, and Hikigaya was no longer a marginal figure in the class. Although he still had no friends, as soon as he entered the classroom, many classmates waved to him or said hello.
Other than that, there are no other changes.
Could it be...this is the power of real life?
I attract other people's attention without realizing it. Although it's okay to say hello, if someone talks to me later...
'what to do!'
Hikigaya was extremely terrified, this was the only thing he didn't want to experience at all.
Of course, until the end, no one except Sudou took the initiative to talk to him.
As expected, Hikigaya hated this kind of self-righteous self the most.
However...the thing I feared the most did not happen, which is not bad
Although Hikigaya still didn't pay much attention in math class today, he noticed that Sudo, who was sitting in another corner with him, was trying very hard to suppress his instinct to sleep and listen to every key point.
"That's amazing...Sudou."
The day's classes ended quickly, and according to the agreement, it was time to attend the study session held by Horikita. Usually at this time, Sudo would go to join the basketball club, but today...because of his own encouragement, he decided to improve his grades.
Although he had left the classroom in advance, as expected, he still followed him quickly and put his strong arm heavily on his shoulders.
"So heavy..."
"You guys, you should also improve your physical strength."
"I want you to talk nonsense. It's obviously because you are too heavy."
"I'm called a muscular man, and girls nowadays like this kind of man. A weak guy like you is not popular at all."
Hikigaya did not respond to the red-haired hedgehog's words. After all, he was right. He had never really been liked by others. Even after what happened yesterday, he did not intend to change his opinion.
The two of them first came to the library. Coming here reminded Hikigaya of the memory of meeting the silver-haired fairy here. Although he hasn't seen her since the last "date", and he doesn't know what she is planning, Hikigaya is not interested in these things at all. However, Kamuro has been following him. Although she thinks she is perfect and pretends to be indifferent every time, sometimes with friends, sometimes sitting alone in a cafe, but... she still can't escape Hikigaya's capture.
At this moment, Kamuro was sitting alone in the library, pretending to review and glancing over from time to time.
After all, he never attracts attention. If someone keeps staring at him, he will notice it quickly.
However, since Sakayanagi had said so, he would not say anything more.
When Sudo and I arrived at the agreed place, Horikita seemed to have arrived long ago. Everyone's get out of class ended at the same time, and he didn't delay either. I don't know how this guy could sit here so calmly.
"This guy, I don't think he can teleport."
After receiving Horikita's fierce gaze, Hikigaya quickly found a more secluded seat and sat down. Of course...if he sat here, if Kamuro looked over, he might even be able to make eye contact with her.
"Here are your exercises for today. Since you're here early, you can start first."
Hikigaya took the test paper. It was basically the same as the exams of this school. Since there was no distinction between arts and science, all the questions were mixed in one test paper. This meant that Hikigaya's score would definitely not be too low. Of course...it would definitely not be too high either.
Although I have studied mathematics after coming to this school, it didn't help much.
Of course, the focus of this study session was not himself. After all, sitting next to him was the last-ranked student in the entire class. If the next midterm exam was held, he would be on the list most likely to be expelled.
Although Sudo has been attending classes seriously these days and has not been absent-minded, but...
Faced with this test question, he probably still couldn't start writing. Hikigaya, who also had extremely poor performance in science, could naturally understand him.
Of course, it seemed that Horikita had put a lot of effort into this test paper. If it was just wasted, something would probably happen that he couldn't control.
What a headache! What should I do now?
Sudo glanced at the test paper and then put down his pen.
That's right, in this paper, there are very few places where he can write, and it is obvious that this is caused by his laziness in the past.
Horikita: "What's wrong?"
Sudo: "I can't do it..."
Hikigaya glanced at Horikita and twitched his eyebrows twice, as if giving a secret signal.
"Indeed, this test is too difficult. I can't do it... This test is more difficult than the midterm exam..."
Horikita: "You guys are so stupid..."
Hikigaya: "Ah, after all, our temporary goal is to pass the midterm exam, so I think it is easiest to improve from easy to difficult, and then gradually approach the difficulty of the midterm exam, right Sudo."
Sudo knew that his academic performance was not very good, and he also knew how bad his academic performance had been.
There is no doubt that if you want to improve, you can only do it through this method. Fortunately, there is still time, so it can't be said that you are completely unable to catch up.
Horikita looked at Hikigaya again, and the words Hikigaya had said to her were now echoing in her mind.
Her goal has always been to get promoted to Class A.
So, you must not take a wrong step here.
Horikita slowly stood up and slowly bowed to the young man. This scene made Sudo and Hikigaya a little dumbfounded.
Before my eyes, such a proud girl actually did such an incredible thing.
"I'm sorry for wasting your time. It's my fault that the test questions were not set according to your own needs, but..."
"Horikita, I believe in you!"
Before Horikita could finish, Sudou stood up excitedly and spoke his true feelings directly to her.
Obviously, Horikita's action really touched him, because he always thought that Horikita was an arrogant and contemptuous guy, but now he found out that he was wrong.
Horikita was not as difficult to get along with as he had imagined.
Apparently, his words made Horikita feel relieved. At least this guy was still willing to attend his study session. It was just...
This sound directly attracted other people who were studying quietly in the library. At this moment, Hikigaya and his friends once again became the most eye-catching people.
And Kamuro, as expected, turned his gaze over, but... because Hikigaya had been looking in that direction, the two of them looked at each other, and Kamuro was so scared that he picked up a book to cover his face in panic.
Kamuro: "What's wrong with this guy... Why does he attract so much attention wherever he goes? By the way... Has he discovered me?"
"It's over. If the princess knew that he had discovered me, I would be criticized again..."
A depressed expression appeared on the girl's face, and at this moment, it also appeared on Hikigaya's face.
**
[Sudou: "What's going on? Horikita didn't call me an idiot, and I didn't lose my temper. What on earth happened?!"]
[Horikitta also felt incredible. She was very clear at that time that she had angered several people and left. But now, because of Hikigaya's appearance, Sudo changed first. His early arrival made her feel better. At the moment when she was angry, she also discovered her own problems through Hikigaya's words. Although... Hikigaya didn't seem to do anything in all this, he unknowingly guided the direction of the story. ]
[Ichinose: "It looks like a really powerful guy has arrived in Class D."]
[Sakayanagi: "You can actually guide the other person to the ending you want like this? I really can't underestimate you."]
[Ryuuen: "It would be meaningless to have such a being as an enemy, because the weak can easily defeat him, but... if we become partners, or a class, we can more than double the strength of the entire class. Now I finally understand why I am so obsessed with him in the video."]
[Ibuki: "That is to say, his class can correct the original mistakes."]
[Ryūen: "Not bad…"]
[Hirata: "Hikigaya, it's really amazing..."]
[Service Club...]
[Ebina: "Although I have received your help before, I never thought you would have such a great influence."]
[Miura: "Yeah, I didn't find any at school..."]
[Hikigaya: "It's just a video. Maybe I've been deified. I'm not that great."]
[Yuigahama showed a very penetrating smile: "Yes, Aqi always says this. He obviously doesn't know how much he has helped others...how much he has helped me...Aqi is very gentle."]
[Hikigaya: "Idiot, no."]
[Yukinoshita glanced at the arrogant Hikigaya, then gave Yuigahama a calm smile. ]
["Yes, Yuigahama is right. Although he himself is not aware of it, I am one of the people who unknowingly accepted his help."]
[Hikigaya also nodded in agreement: "Me too..."]
[Isshiki: "Senpai is very kind, but of course he can be quite humorous sometimes."]
[Yukinoshita, Hayama, Yuigahama, Isshiki, and Ebina all said so, and they all had different perceptions of him. Only Miura seemed to realize that he didn't understand the boy in front of him at all. After all, in his eyes, he was just a gloomy and quiet guy, but from their mouths, he found that he was more than that. ]
[Perhaps, from this moment on, she really needs to pay attention to this young man who is not dazzling but very conspicuous.]
Because of Hikigaya's presence, the two did not quarrel.
