Because Gui Longyuan herself doesn't care at all, or rather, it's not that others exclude her, but rather that she is the one who excludes others, and she herself seems to be very happy to enjoy this state.
This made Hikigaya feel like he had encountered a second 'Koenji'.
However, what Hikigaya was more curious about was how the other party had found out in such a short time that Kiriyama had come to see him?
As if guessing what Hikigaya was thinking, Guilongyuan crossed his legs and said nonchalantly: "Because I just went to see that guy Kiriyama."
Hikigaya suddenly realized that it was no wonder. Guiryuin and Kiriyama were both students in Class B of the second year, and they had always been at odds with each other. Of course, according to Guiryuin, it was just that Kiriyama was unilaterally jealous of her talent, and she had never taken Kiriyama seriously.
However, according to Hikigaya's observation and understanding, it was probably because Kiryuin's ability was too strong that Kiriyama could not "control" her, so they became enemies, just like there is no one in Class D who can command and control Koenji now.
"Although the matter has been resolved, I still feel like I should give you a piece of advice."
Hikigaya suddenly said seriously, "Now that Nanyun has become the student council president, I think you should know better than anyone how much power this position carries."
"Oh? Are you teaching me how to do something?"
Gui Li Ryuin sneered and did not show any good face even to Hikigaya who had helped him.
"You misunderstood. I was just stating a fact."
Hikigaya didn't seem angry and spoke calmly.
Guilongyuan suddenly stood up, supported himself on the table with his hands, leaned forward and looked at Hikigaya. Hikigaya looked at him expressionlessly. After a long time, the corners of Guilongyuan's mouth rose slightly, and then he turned his head and left.
"Whoo~"
After seeing Kiryuin leave, Ichinose was about to speak when he turned his head and looked around as if he remembered something. When he found that Kiryuin was no longer visible, he breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he couldn't help but give a wry smile to Hikigaya opposite him.
"Just as you said, Hikigaya-kun, this senior is really, really unique."
Hikigaya shook his head. "Anyway, I've done everything I should have done. If she's still as careless as she was this time, I'm afraid she won't be so lucky next time."
"It sounds like Vice President Kiriyama just came to cause trouble because of the matter with Senior from Guilongyuan?"
Ichinose asked curiously.
Hikigaya nodded, not intending to hide it; it wasn't really a secret. "She ran into some trouble not long ago. It wasn't difficult to resolve, but Guilongyuan-senpai has always been a thorn in the side of the class, which made things that could have been easily resolved a bit more difficult..."
37
Chapter 37: Just colleagues.
The existence of Guilongyuan is a very special existence for Class 2B, Kiriyama's class.
Kiryuin is very good in both academic and athletic abilities, but just like Koenji, he is completely out of control. Kiriyama has always hated and resented Kiryuin for this reason, and a big reason for this is that Kiriyama and his classmates were originally in Class A!
But now, not only has he fallen to Class B, but the gap between him and Class A where Nanyun is is also widening, which makes Kiriyama even more resentful of Guilongyuan's "non-cooperation".
Moreover, Guilongyuan had many conflicts with Nanyun and others. In addition, Guilongyuan's personality was such that he usually offended many people but only praised few people. So after Nanyun became the student union president, he gave Guilongyuan a warning in an attempt to tame this "wild horse".
Mizowaki, who is a subordinate of Nanyun, was sure that Kiryuin had no friends and no one was willing to help her, so she used her position and power as the student union secretary to set a trap for Kiryuin. However, she did not expect Hikigaya to help solve the problem, so there was the scene where Kiriyama questioned Hikigaya in the student union office.
Ichinose's face turned a little unhappy after hearing this. Only when the beautiful filter was broken could the filth hidden underneath be revealed. However, what really made Ichinose uncomfortable was...
"I can't understand why Vice President Kiriyama would do such a thing when he and Senior Guilongyuan are in the same class!"
This is where Ichinose really felt uncomfortable, even angry.
"Because everyone has selfish desires, situations like Ichinose's class are rare."
Unlike the angry Ichinose, Hikigaya seems quite calm.
"Yes, but..."
"Ichinose, I'm sharing this story not to tell you how bad Kiriyama is or how annoying Nanyun is, but to let you know not to have excessive expectations of human nature. No one is perfect, and perhaps you think everyone in your class is getting along very well, like a loving family.
But this is based on your current position in Class A. What if you return to Class B, or even fall to Class C or Class D? Can you still be such a harmonious family? "
Hikigaya's words obviously stunned Ichinose, or perhaps this was a question she had never thought about. In her point of view, as long as everyone united and trusted each other, they would be able to overcome difficulties. This was also the thing that Ichinose was most "proud" of.
"No, I believe that as long as everyone encourages and trusts each other, even if we return to Class B or even fall back, I believe everyone in the class can work together."
Ichinose said this without hesitation, apparently sincerely believing it.
Hikigaya shook his head. "Ichinose, you believe in the 'power of belief'? While what you say makes sense, and it makes me yearn for such a class, have you ever experienced a class that collapsed? If that day ever comes, what will you do as the class leader? Are you going to stand on the podium and shout, 'Let's all work together and trust each other, and we'll definitely get through this?'"
So you're putting all your hopes on the 'power of belief'? In reality, things that are destined to break will break down. As someone in Class D, I know this all too well, so I told you not to have excessive expectations."
Ichinose was obviously silent. If we talk about the collapse of a class, then Class D where Hikigaya is is definitely the one that "collapses the fastest". No matter whether Sakayanagi or Katsuragi comes to Class D, they will always say "it will collapse as soon as they leave", so Hikigaya's words still carry a lot of weight.
"I remember a senior saying to me shortly after school started that the most effective way to measure and manage relationships in this school is to use 'gains and losses'. This also applies to the classroom. Rather than just saying 'please trust me,' tying everyone's interests together and moving forward and backward together is far more reliable."
The more he gradually adapted to this school, the more Hikigaya understood the true meaning of this sentence. Therefore, Hikigaya has always been very grateful to Horikita Manabu for helping him avoid many detours.
However, Ichinose didn't seem to accept Hikigaya's argument. "If we measure relationships based on profit and loss, as you say, Hikigaya-kun, then wouldn't everyone end up being snobbish, seeking good fortune and avoiding danger, and driven solely by profit? I can't accept such naked, inhumane relationships."
"But this is the environment we live in. I know you, Ichinose, believe in the brilliance and beauty of human nature, and I don't mean to deny it. But the peaceful years are simply because someone else is carrying the burden for you. To be a qualified class leader, moral sense alone is not enough."
"So, does the relationship between me and Hikigaya-kun also have to be measured by interests?!"
Ichinose was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked.
"Yes, we are just classmates and colleagues."
Hikigaya replied expressionlessly.
Ichinose widened his eyes, not only because he was shocked by Hikigaya's words, but also because he could say it without hesitation. For a moment, Ichinose felt as if he was "betrayed". His originally happy mood suddenly became extremely heavy, and then like mud and sand washed by the sea, it collapsed with a slight press and became empty.
"Sorry, I, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Ichinose suddenly stood up, bit her lip, turned around and left quickly.
Hikigaya watched the other person's departing back silently without any movement. Only after Ichinose left completely did Hikigaya sigh.
……
"Sudou, how are you now?"
At the door of the infirmary, Ayanokouji stood aside and looked at Sudo who had just come out. At this time, Sudo seemed very irritable.
"Damn Hikigaya!!!"
Sudo never thought that he would be knocked down by a guy like Hikigaya, and in front of the whole class. This was a great humiliation for him. When he thought of this, Sudo instantly became furious.
"Sudou, I suggest you stay out of trouble for the time being."
Sudo became visibly angrier after hearing what Ayanokouji said, but before he could speak, Ayanokouji on the other side explained, "Your violent behavior in class has been recorded, especially the incident with Yamauchi. It's very serious."
Sudo's face froze, his anger dissipated in an instant, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help asking: "So, how is Yamauchi's injury?"
"You knocked out Yamauchi's front teeth, and he's now been sent to an outside hospital for treatment. I heard that Yamauchi demanded severe punishment and compensation for you, but Hirata and others pleaded for you, otherwise you would have been suspended from school."
Ling Xiaolu said expressionlessly.

Chapter 38: Horikita changes.
"Tsk! Pretending to be a nice guy again!"
Sudo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that he didn't have to be suspended from school, but then he felt that it was because of Hirata that he was spared punishment. His self-esteem seemed to be humiliated again, and Sudo couldn't help but be stubborn.
Ayanokouji on the side watched silently without saying a word, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"And that damned fellow Yamauchi, what a villain!"
Sudo gritted his teeth as if suddenly realizing something. "If you hadn't told me about Ike, I wouldn't have known it was that Yamauchi who backstabbed me! And he deliberately spread slanderous rumors about me at the sports festival. Not only did he get ridiculed by everyone in the class, but somehow the basketball team coach also found out. Now, Komiya and Kondo are both able to play, but I'm the only one sitting on the bench!"
Sudo kept complaining to Ayanokouji. Ever since the end of last semester when he was suspended from school, Sudo always felt that his luck was getting worse and worse, and he always encountered all kinds of bad things!
"Sudo, you can't blame anyone else for what happened to Chi. Voyeurism and voyeurism are crimes in the first place."
After hearing Ayanokouji's words, Sudo was silent for a moment, but then he couldn't help but say, "Then why was Ike the only one expelled? It was Yamauchi who suggested that everyone give false testimony, but in the end he betrayed him and put all the blame on Ike. If it weren't for you, Ayanokouji, who noticed the clues, we would all still be fooled by him. What a mean person!!"
"Maybe Yamauchi was just trying to protect himself, and Ike did do something wrong. From another perspective, Yamauchi's actions actually saved everyone."
"Hey Ayanokouji, why are you always speaking up for that guy?"
Sudo stared at Ayanokouji angrily and said dissatisfiedly, "If this were a school outside, Yamauchi would have been beaten to a pulp by me!"
However, Sudo seemed to feel that his tone was a bit too harsh, and then he said: "But fortunately, you are here with Ayanokouji. What happened at the end of last semester, and this time too, is better than that Yamauchi who only kicks people when they are down. But why didn't you tell me earlier that you are such a good runner?!"
"I've already said it, it was just luck, and I drank a lot of energy drinks beforehand, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to run so fast."
Ayanokouji explained.
"Really?"
Sudo was confused, but finally chose to believe Ayanokouji's words. Afterwards, Sudo borrowed personal points from Hikigaya. Because of the peeping and secretly filming incidents, everyone, including him, was fined a large number of personal points.
Sudo and the others were suddenly back to their previous destitute days and had to borrow money from Ayanokouji. After getting their personal points, Sudo waved his hand and left, and it seemed that he never said when he would pay it back.
Ayanokouji looked at Sudo's departing back, his eyes becoming increasingly profound.
……
The atmosphere in Class D classroom the next day seemed very strange. The biggest reason was the conflict that occurred in the class meeting yesterday. The injured Yamauchi asked for leave without hesitation. However, it was said that he was no longer seriously injured, but it seemed that he did not dare to come to school because of his missing front teeth.
On the other side were Sudo and Hikigaya. Everyone thought that after what happened yesterday, there might be another conflict between the two when they met today, but surprisingly, Sudo did not get angry until the end of the morning class, and everything was peaceful?
However, many students recalled the scene of Hikigaya's attack yesterday, and seemed to feel that even if Sudo took action, he would not gain any benefit.
Although Hikigaya is a bit of a loner and gives people the impression that he is difficult to get along with, he is still a member of the student council and has good academic and athletic abilities. Compared to Sudo, who has made no contribution and even resorts to violence, Sudo's liking for Hikigaya gradually grows.
In the afternoon's sixth chapter class, Hirata took over the class meeting and gave a speech about the PaperShuffle exam, but it was not him who gave the speech, but Horikita.
Everyone can see Horikita's abilities, but her interpersonal relationships are hard to describe. Hirata serves as a buffer between Horikita and other students, which is why this is the case.
At the same time, this was also Hirata's own wish. As the leader of the class, he was very clear about his strengths and weaknesses, so he always hoped to get Horikita's help. After a semester, this idea was finally realized.
Of course, Hikigaya is also one of Hirata's targets, but he is often rejected by Hikigaya using the student union as an excuse. It can only be said that the student union is really useful.
"Here, first of all, I want to apologize to everyone..."
Standing on the podium, Horikita suddenly apologized to the students below for the defeat in the sports festival. Although the policies and plans of the sports festival were discussed and formulated by Hirata and Horikita, Horikita was actually the leader.
What no one expected was that Horikita would actually apologize to everyone for this incident. This was completely different from the impression everyone had of her as the aloof, stern-faced ice girl.
In fact, during the uninhabited island exam, many students noticed the changes in Horikita, especially the fact that she insisted on staying on the island for so many days despite having a cold and a fever, and even fainted in the end. From that time on, many students began to change their impression of her.
In addition to Horikita's sincere apology, many students in the audience said it was okay. It seemed that everyone was slowly beginning to accept Horikita's 'new identity', except for one little angel who had a very ugly expression.
Afterwards, Horikita and Hirata began to use the blackboard to explain the rules of this exam, especially the most important "Partner" rule.
Simply put, in the next quiz, the student with the highest score and the student with the lowest score will form a pair to face the final PaperShuffle exam together.
This was the result of yesterday's discussion between Horikita, Hirata, and others.
"Now we have a serious problem..."
Horikita explained that because the highest and lowest scores are matched with each other, it can indeed help many students with poor grades. The problem is that a large proportion of students in Class D score below 60 points, which means that no one can be taken into account. In addition, the median student in Class D is also lower than that in other classes. This also means that the median of Class D is actually much lower than that in other classes, but there is nothing that can be done about this for Class D now.
Before the quiz the next day, Chabashira-sensei also announced the list of classes competing in the final exam.
Class A faces off against Class C, and Class B faces off against Class D.
Although Horikita showed no emotion after hearing the news, when she saw Hirata sighing, she knew that this was probably a different opponent than she had expected.

Chapter 39: Class D’s exam strategy.
After the quiz was over, Hirata, Kushida, and the others immediately gathered near Horikita's seat to discuss countermeasures.
"This is troublesome. I didn't expect our opponent in this exam to be Class B."
Hirata frowned slightly.
In their expectation, Class C was the best opponent, followed by Class A, but this time the opponent was Class B, which was also the opponent that Horikita and others were most reluctant to face.
Class B, which is Sakayanagi and Katsuragi's class, although they are now Class B, but as Class A at the beginning of the school year, the academic ability of the students in the class is undoubtedly the strongest among all classes. This is simply a dimensionality reduction attack for Class D, which has the worst academic ability!
"Shouldn't Class B be specifically attacking Class A? Class B chose to attack Class A so they could make up for the class point difference. Now, attacking our Class D doesn't seem to have much use other than earning class points."
After analyzing the situation, Kushida was also surprised by this result. Because when the discussion was first started, Class D would definitely be regarded as a 'cash machine' by the other classes, so they would have a high probability of attacking Class C, which no one chose. Unfortunately, the final result was contrary to their expectations.
"So, besides us, another class chose Class C, and it just happened to be the same as ours, which led to this random result?"
Hirata quickly realized the problem. It was obvious that he was just unlucky in this grouping.
"Let's not worry about Class B for now. Right now, we should focus on the grouping results after the quiz. Our class points aren't even in the triple digits right now, so we should be more concerned with preventing dropouts than class points."
