There is something wrong with Hikigaya's classroom of supreme ability

Horikita also expressed her opinion, but then she suddenly saw Hikigaya getting up to leave, and asked, "Hikigaya, what do you think of the result this time?"

Hikigaya didn't want to pay attention, but after hearing what Horikita said, Hirata quickly asked. Seeing this, Hikigaya pondered for a moment and then said, "It's indeed not a good situation to face Class B, that is, Sakayanagi and Katsuragi's class, but as Horikita just said, Class D's class points are not even a fraction of others, so what are you worried about losing?

More importantly, the biggest difference in the final exam score was only about 100 points. Don't you have any other ideas?"

"Any other ideas?"

Hirata and the others seemed stumped by Hikigaya's question, but Horikita quickly reacted: "Looking back at the special exams during the summer vacation, each one would increase the class's score by hundreds of points. So if we really want to catch up with the classes ahead, the special exams are what we really need to focus on."

"But we can't ignore the class points from other exams either. A little bit adds up to a lot. According to what you said, Horikita-san, isn't that putting the cart before the horse?"

Kushida clearly expressed his different opinion, and his eyes were fixed on Hikigaya intentionally or unintentionally.

"No, Hikigaya's point should be to treat the special exam as the real 'final exam' and not to completely abandon the other exams. Instead, treat them as 'monthly quizzes' to detect your own shortcomings and improve the abilities of the students in your class. Build up your knowledge and then give it your all when you're ready for the special exam, just like how Ichinose's class successfully overtook Katsuragi's class in one fell swoop during the deserted island exam!"

The more Horikita spoke, the brighter her eyes became. Hirata beside her suddenly realized: "So, facing Class B in this exam is actually a good thing?"

"Yes, this is a whetstone. Only after sufficient tempering can the blade be sharp!"

When Horikita wanted to continue discussing with Hikigaya, she was suddenly stunned because Hikigaya had disappeared.

"Hikigaya-san is still the same."

Hirata couldn't help but smile wryly at this. "Hikigaya-san's insight and way of thinking are truly remarkable, but it's a shame he doesn't really care about class matters."

Horikita and Kushida beside him felt the same way. In fact, Hirata knew very well that Hikigaya was using the student council as an excuse to shirk responsibility, but he had no way to force Hikigaya. Compared to Koenji's complete lack of cooperation, Hikigaya's situation was actually the most troublesome for them.

The next morning, the results of the quiz and the list of partners for the final exam were announced. Just as Horikita had guessed at the beginning, the students with the highest and lowest scores in the quiz formed a pair. Among them were Kushida and Sudo, Hirata and Yamauchi, and Horikita and Inogashira. These were all as expected and there were no mistakes.

However, the only thing Horikita needs to worry about is the vacant person, because there are only 39 people in Class D now, which means that one student will have no partner and can only rely on himself to take the exam. Obviously, this rule is absolutely beneficial to students with high academic ability, but on the contrary it is a disaster for students with low academic ability.

The only thing Horikita and the others couldn't figure out at the moment was how the school chose the bye student spot.

Hikigaya couldn't help but frown when he saw the name of the 'alone' student, because this person was... Sakura!

In other words, the median student is not selected, but randomly selected?

It is worth mentioning that for students who are given a bye, the first failing score requirement also applies, that is, Sakura's score in each subject must not be less than 60 points, and the second failing score is the average, that is, the total score of 8 subjects needs to be more than 400 points to be safe.

There seem to be two failing scores, but in fact there is only one, because each subject must be no less than 60 points, which means the total score must be at least 480 points!

Therefore, the second failing score is totally dispensable!

It is obvious that this is a hidden rule for students who drop out of the class. Once you are left alone and get a bye, you will face the situation Sakura is in now. You have to take the exam alone and the score must be high!

So when Sakura saw that she had failed, her face turned pale.

Sakura's grades cannot be said to be very bad, they are below average. Hikigaya is very clear about her situation because he has tutored Sakura. With a total score of 480, it is actually achievable if she works hard, but Sakura's biggest problem is that she has a serious imbalance in her grades, and getting 60 points in each subject is a bit difficult!

This is also the biggest feature of this Paper Shuffle exam. It is not friendly to science-oriented students, but Sakura happened to be the only one to get a bye. It can only be said that she has bad luck!

Seeing Sakura lowering her head almost to the bottom of the table, Hikigaya couldn't help but take out his cell phone.

[Energy Conservationist: There's still a month left. I'll help you with your coaching. We've been here before.]

【MAO: Really? But, I’m afraid…】

【Energy conservationists: Believe me! 】

At this time, Sakura raised her head and couldn't help but secretly look at Hikigaya beside her.

Chapter 40: One man and two women.

"So why are you here too?"

On a weekend morning, in the side hall on the third floor of the library, Hikigaya had originally agreed with Sakura to tutor her in her weak subjects today, but now not only Sakura, but also Hasebe was following him.

"Xiao Ba, what's that expression on your face?"

Hasebe seemed very dissatisfied with Hikigaya's expression, puffing out his cheeks like a little hamster. "I need help with my studies too. And my weak subjects happen to be very similar to Airi's. What's wrong? You don't want to study with two girls?"

"Now that you've said that, what else can I say?"

Hikigaya was helpless, but then said, "But Hasebe, it seems you're partnered with Miyake, right? I remember Miyake's grades weren't too bad, so logically, you two shouldn't have too much of a problem."

Hasebe's results are average, and Miyake's results are also average. Under normal circumstances, a combination like Hasebe and Miyake is the most stable, at least they will not be dragged down by the other person.

After hearing what Hikigaya said, Hasebe showed an expression of "headache". It is indeed the best choice for Hasebe and Miyake to team up, but the problem is... their strengths and weaknesses overlap!

And similar to Sakura's situation, Hasebe also has very bad grades in the subjects she is weak in, but what makes her better than Sakura is that she still has a [partner] to support each other.

At this point, Hasebe couldn't help but look at Hikigaya with an embarrassed look on his face: "I heard Airi say that you were going to help her with tutoring, so I shamelessly followed her. After all, I don't want to drag down others or the class. Anyway... please, Hachi!"

After saying this, Hasebe clasped his hands together.

"I have no opinion."

Hikigaya scratched his cheek. This was the first time he was asked to do something by a girl like this.

"yeah!"

Hasebe was so excited that he almost jumped up, but he quickly realized that he was in the library and quickly covered his mouth, but a happy expression could still be seen on his face.

Hasebe is also well-known in the class for being aloof, and is almost on par with Horikita. However, unlike Horikita, Hasebe only appears aloof. In fact, after getting to know her, you will find that she is not aloof at all. Instead, she is more like an ordinary girl, playful and lively.

In fact, after the final exam partners were grouped yesterday, under the organization of Horikita, Hirata and others, the study session of the previous semester was "revived" again. Every day after school, there are two study tutoring sessions at 6 o'clock and 8 o'clock. At the same time, because there are only a few students with high academic ability in the class, tutoring other students is also very hard!

Therefore, there are also small student groups like Hikigaya that are independent of the large-scale study groups like Horikita and Hirata, which are one-on-two or three-person groups.

"By the way, Hachi, I forgot to ask who your partner is?"

During the break, Hasebe asked curiously.

"Karuizawa."

"Huh? It's Karuizawa~"

"You dislike her very much?"

Hikigaya asked casually.

"Not really, how should I put it..."

Hasebe stroked his chin, looking hesitant. "She was indeed quite annoying last semester, but after returning from summer vacation, I noticed that Karuizawa seemed a little different. I can't quite put my finger on what the difference was, but she seemed less aggressive than before."

"But you, Xiaoba, partnering up with Karuizawa, I think you'll have a hard time. I still remember she used to say bad things about you behind your back!"

Hasebe was a little worried.

"Maybe."

Hikigaya gave an ambiguous answer. Karuizawa had been bullied by Manabe and others since the last sports festival. Although he looked no different from usual afterwards, one could still feel that Karuizawa was changing. Just like Hasebe said, he had become less aggressive and a little softer.

It was noon in a flash. Hikigaya had originally planned to go alone, but Hasebe and Sakura invited him to go, so the three of them went to the school cafeteria together.

After lunch, Hasebe asked Sakura what her plans were for the afternoon. Sakura hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm going to the Keyaki Center to buy some camera maintenance tools."

"Eh? Airi, you know how to take pictures with a camera? I'm thinking of going to the mall too, why don't we go together?"

Hasebe said while holding Sakura's arm.

Hikigaya, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped and said, "I'm going there too, how about we come together?"

"Okay."

Hasebe didn't notice anything unusual, but Sakura next to him looked at Hikigaya with some confusion.

After arriving at the Keyaki shopping mall, Hikigaya left on the pretext of having something to deal with, leaving Hasebe and Sakura confused.

Hikigaya came to a cafe, ordered a cup of coffee and waited quietly. About ten minutes later, a figure sat down opposite Hikigaya.

"Teacher Jing, good afternoon."

Hikigaya stood up and greeted the woman across from him, but to his surprise, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked disgusted: "Hikigaya, you look so disgusting!"

"..."

"No one comes to see me for no reason. Tell me, what trouble do you have that you are looking for me in such a grand manner?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka ordered a cup of coffee, crossed her legs and said.

Shizuka Hiratsuka came here just after receiving the news from Hikigaya. Otherwise, teachers rarely have much contact with students. She also roughly guessed that Hikigaya might have encountered some trouble.

"It's like this. Because of my student identity, it's difficult to investigate some things, so I'd like to ask Teacher Jing for help..."

Hikigaya looked serious and immediately told Teacher Jing what he had asked of him.

Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was originally relaxed and playful, gradually became serious after hearing what Hikigaya said, and couldn't help but frowned.

"Actually, it doesn't have to be this way. If you find it difficult, Teacher Jing..."

Hikigaya also knew that his request was very difficult, so he was prepared to be rejected.

"It's not a big problem. I can agree to it."

Unexpectedly, Teacher Jing readily agreed, then stared at Hikigaya seriously: "Compared to this matter, I'm even happier that you came to discuss it with me. Don't rush to deny it. If my side doesn't work, are you going to use your own methods to solve it?"

Hikigaya was silent. He had found Shizuka Hiratsuka just to give it a try. If this didn't work... he had a backup plan.

Seeing this, Hiratsuka Shizuka gave an expression of 'I knew it', and then the next second...

“Hiss! It hurts!!!”

Shizuka Hiratsuka rode on Hikigaya's body, twisted the boy's ear with her hand, and said viciously: "If you encounter similar problems in the future, don't think about solving them by yourself, you must come to me, do you understand?"

"Got it! Let go, you violent female teacher!!!"

The boy with dead eyes felt extremely regretful at this moment!

Chapter 41 The lonely three.

"Aili, did you think that uncle just now was disgusting?"

After leaving the Keyaki Shopping Center, Hasebe couldn't help but feel a chill when he thought of the uncle clerk in the digital area of the mall.

"Yes, a little bit."

Sakura nodded. They had just gone to the digital section to buy some camera and lens maintenance tools. The uncle clerk had been following them the entire time. Not only that, his eyes were full of aggression!

"There's absolutely no mistake. That disgusting old man's mind must be filled with filthy, disgusting things. I'm all too familiar with that look!"

Hasebe couldn't help but cross his arms.

Ever since elementary school, Hasebe has been able to sense the malice in other people's eyes, and it all stems from her body!

Compared with girls of the same age, her development is undoubtedly very obvious, so she is often stared at by others. However, it is more of a dirty and vulgar look than a stare!

Gradually, Hasebe also developed the habit of keeping a cold face, all in order to protect himself.

And Airi next to her was even more developed than herself. This was not just an eye-test, because she had actually tested it herself, so the two of them had the same experience in this regard and... the sensitivity to these special gazes.

Sakura felt the same way, and her feeling was even more obvious than Hasebe's, because she could always feel that the clerk's eyes were always on her. There was not only the filthiness in his eyes that Hasebe mentioned, but also a kind of fanaticism that made her feel terrified!

It was as if it was going to 'eat' her. Sakura couldn't help but shiver when she thought of it.

"Xiao Ba is really something. He said he would come with us, but he ran away halfway."

Hasebe muttered a few words, and at the same time, he remembered the conflict with Sudo in the classroom not long ago, and couldn't help but say: "Humph, if Xiaoba was here, he would definitely let him teach that disgusting uncle a lesson!"

"Hikigaya-kun might have his own things going on."

Sakura retorted quietly.

Hasebe suddenly smiled playfully when he heard that. He took Sakura's arm and whispered in her ear, "Airi, do you have a crush on Hachi?"

Sakura froze in place upon hearing this, then her face visibly turned red. She quickly said, "I, I... Hikigaya-kun is so outstanding, and also so gentle, so it's normal for him to be popular."

Hasebe looked at Sakura with a half-smile: "So... Airi, you didn't deny that you have feelings for Hachi."

"..."

Sakura's face turned even redder, and she lowered her head and quickly ran away. Hasebe chuckled and chased after her, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise: "Airi, don't run, wait for me, tell me quickly, when did you fall in love with Xiaoba?"

When?

Sakura thought carefully, and she couldn't even remember when she'd developed this strange fondness for Hikigaya. Was it the tutoring for the midterm exams? Or was it the night he'd given her the camera?

Or was it even earlier, was it that day that helped him avoid the trouble of Karuizawa asking him to borrow money?

Sakura didn't know either, but feelings slowly sprouted like seeds. The originally empty and somewhat monotonous world gradually became full, and unknowingly, that figure appeared in her world.
