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

As he spoke, Ryuuen looked back at Ishizaki, Ibuki and the others and snorted coldly: "Until now, you guys haven't realized that you have fallen into this guy's verbal trap!"

"what?"

Ishizaki, Ibuki and the others stood there in a daze.

"From the very beginning, you were misled by the words of this dead-eyed guy!"

Ryuen stared at the silent Hikigaya across from him, as if he'd seen through your tricks long ago, and sneered, "First of all, it's a simple logical misconception. The result of 'test question trading' is at most to punish the students involved. It can't change the school's exam rules at all, let alone invalidate the past exam questions!

Besides, given the school's attitude, they can even turn a blind eye to the "exam question trading", so how could they make the decision to "invalidate the old exam questions"?

Therefore, the statement that 'the ancient exam questions are invalid' has always been this dead-eyed 'hypothesis', completely deliberately confusing the concepts, but this little trick can only fool you brainless guys! "

The accuracy of the past exam questions, the school's attitude, and the punishment after being reported...

Long Yuan had already considered all the worst possible outcomes, which was the real reason why he dared to act so recklessly!

"Fuck, I almost got fooled by this dead fish eye! Damn liar!"

Ishizaki finally reacted and shouted angrily.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

Hikigaya clapped his hands and couldn't help but admire him, "Although I don't want to admit it, you, Ryuuen, are truly capable of arrogance and conceit. It seems everyone has been fooled by your appearance. You deliberately put on an arrogant and conceited attitude, but in reality, you are more cautious than anyone else. Is your purpose just to paralyze the other classes?"

At this point, Hikigaya's tone suddenly changed: "But the more you say this, the more it proves that you are just a paper tiger with a strong appearance but a weak inside."

"Brother Long Yuan, let me teach this damn liar a lesson! Brother Long Yuan, Long, eh?"

Ishizaki was furious and was about to go up and teach Hikigaya a lesson, but suddenly he found that Ryuuen behind him didn't react at all, and he was stunned for a moment.

At this moment, Ryuen's face was unexpectedly gloomy. He stared at Hikigaya who was still calm. Could it be that he had overlooked some important information?

Especially when he saw Hikigaya's dead fish eyes, Ryuuen always felt an inexplicable uneasiness and irritability in his heart.

"Ryuuen, everything you just said is correct, even very correct. You can say you've perfectly passed this school test. As a reward, I'll mercifully tell you something: the midterm exam... isn't just about one test paper."

After saying that, Hikigaya looked at Ryuuen with a half-smile. Ryuuen's expression suddenly changed as if he realized something. Only Ishizaki, Ibuki and others were still confused.

"Haha, it's true that the school deliberately left behind past exam questions as the 'answers' for this midterm exam. But think about it, if there's something wrong with these 'exam questions', what will the school do? Is there really no way to remedy the situation?"

For some reason, an emotion called fear and uneasiness surged over everyone present like a tide.

"Long Yuan, your biggest reliance is simply your belief that even if the school discovers the 'test question trading', you won't be punished. The school even condones this behavior, right?"

In fact, Hikigaya and Ryuen share the same view. They also believe that the school will not punish the students too severely in this matter, or even not punish them at all. At most, it will be a punishment that is loud but ineffective, and will not pose any effective harm or threat to Class C or Ryuen.

So from the very beginning, Ryuuen guessed Hikigaya's true purpose wrongly.

From the beginning to the end, Hikigaya's goal was not to have the school punish the students who traded test questions, but to... force the school to change the test questions for this midterm exam!

So we return to the point Hikigaya mentioned at the beginning, which is to make the archaeological question in Ryuen's hand "invalid"!

"What are you doing? I told you that even if you report the 'test question trading', it won't affect the exam questions in any way."

Ibuki frowned. He was clearly exposed, but he was still being stubborn?

Hikigaya glanced at Ibuki, then looked at Ryuuen, whose expression was becoming increasingly gloomy.

"You're right, but you've overlooked one key point: this is a school! It's true that the 'test question trading' is permitted by the school, but have you ever thought about why it's permitted, rather than openly permitted?

"Test question trading" is a serious problem in any school, even this one! Let alone a state-run school with vast amounts of funding and educational resources!

Those bigwigs at the top need face and reputation, and even more so, a fig leaf! Doesn't this sound familiar? Isn't politics exactly like this? Things that everyone already knows are so obvious, yet they go through so much trouble and fuss, all for the sake of a little bit of face!

A semi-public secret and a completely public secret are two different concepts. In this society, there are too many things that can be done but cannot be said. I think you, Long Yuan, should understand this principle best."

Hikigaya's face was filled with undisguised sarcasm and disgust, not only towards this school, but also towards Sobu Junior High School and the bigwigs above it.

"As long as I report this to the school, for the sake of face and so-called 'fairness, justice, and openness,' what do you think those bigwigs up there will do? They might not impose any substantial punishment on you, but do you think the school will 'change' the exam questions? Tsk tsk, I'm really looking forward to it!"

Hikigaya looked at Ryuuen, Ibuki, Ishizaki and the others with a playful smile on his face.

Except for Hikigaya, no one at the scene could laugh... No way!

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

Long Yuan covered half of his face, laughing as if he had heard a very funny joke, and fell backwards with laughter: "I thought you had some hidden tricks up your sleeve, but it turns out that in the end you can only talk! Dead fish eyes, what you just said sounds reasonable at first, but it is impossible to happen!

Want to break the balance of the unspoken rules? First of all, you must have the corresponding power. After all, who do you think you are?! Do you think the school will change the entire exam rules because of a mere student in Class D? You think too highly of yourself!

In fact, what Ryuen said was absolutely right. Everything Hikigaya just said was based on the fact that he had the power to compete with the school. Just like an ordinary person reporting corruption under his real name and an official with real power reporting under his real name, the effect is completely different. The fact is so realistic and cruel.

To put it simply, buddy, what is your identity and what is my status?

Hikigaya, an ordinary student in Class D, is of course well aware that compared with the behemoth school, he is like an ant and an elephant. The two are not on the same status at all and are completely incomparable. Even his report is like a stone thrown into the sea, which can't even create a ripple.

"So you're still bluffing until now, you're just a piece of trash from Class D, hahaha—you actually dream of challenging alone and shaking up the school..."

Ryuuen laughed loudly, mocking Hikigaya's stupidity and arrogance, but suddenly Ryuuen seemed to realize something and froze in place. His arrogant laughter stopped abruptly, and he stared at Hikigaya with wide eyes.

"Huh? Laugh, why don't you keep laughing!"

Hikigaya looked at Ryuuen in surprise, but Ryuuen didn't respond at all, only had a ferocious face as if he wanted to eat someone.

"Oh, right!"

Hikigaya adjusted his collar and looked at Ryuuen with a half-smile. "Since you're asking so sincerely, please allow me to reintroduce myself. I'm Hikigaya Hachiman, Class D, Grade 1. I'm currently a... minor student council member. I don't have many special talents, but the one thing I'm best at is... garbage disposal."

When Hikigaya said the word "student council", Ryuuen was no longer able to laugh, and now the scene fell into an eerie silence.

Unlike Ishizaki and the others who were still confused, Ryuen's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip out of it. At the same time, he finally realized where Hikigaya's true confidence lay!

"Student Union!!!"

Long Yuan's voice no longer had the arrogance it had before. Like the last straw that broke the camel's back, Long Yuan shouted with gritted teeth.

Furthermore, Hikigaya's last sentence was a satire on Ryuuen's contempt for him and the student council in the cafe last time.

Hikigaya seemed to see through the last glimmer of hope in Ryuuen's heart and said with a smile: "If you think I'm not qualified? I wonder what the student union president will do? He is very selfless. If there is a serious violation of discipline, I believe the president will deal with it seriously, right?"

This was Hikigaya's true trump card. He had never believed that with his shallow foundation, he could influence this school. If it were an ordinary student, it would probably be difficult to succeed. But what if it was done by someone in the Student Council? Then the nature of the matter would be completely different!

Of course, Hikigaya deliberately brought up Horikita Manabu to scare Ryuuen, but if the other party still doesn't give in, Hikigaya doesn't mind making this lie come true.

The special status and power of the Student Union in this school may be difficult for ordinary students to perceive, but only when they reach a certain level will they deeply realize the terrible influence of the Student Union.

This is also a very important point that Horikita Manabu has always emphasized. This school gives the student union the right and mission to change the order, which is actually the power of "correction."

Simply put, after the school issues a decision or plan, the student union has the power to propose "modifications". From the perspective of identity, the two are in a subordinate relationship, but if it is a power-granting relationship, then the two have a certain equal status.

And this identity of the student council is the important fulcrum that Hikigaya uses to pry this "elephant"!

The school must take the opinions of the student union seriously and it is impossible to completely ignore them. Of course, the student union will also fully express its respect for the school.

Therefore, the best outcome of the compromise between the two parties is what Hikigaya said, that is, to give lighter punishment to students who participated in the "exam question transaction", and at the same time, the school will change the exam questions for the sake of face, at least to ensure the "fairness" of the exam on the surface.

This is the rule by which society operates, the game of power.

Ryuuen's face turned ashen, and his clenched fists creaked, revealing his state of impotence and fury.

At this moment, Ishizaki seemed to suddenly remember something, and as if grasping at a lifeline, he pointed at Hikigaya and shouted, "Hikigaya, you were the one who said the question trade, and as a member of the student council, you broke the law knowingly. If anything happens to us, you won't be able to escape either!

And don't think we don't know, that guy named Ayanokouji from your class D is also secretly doing a 'test question transaction' with Kushida, Albert and I know about this!"

Albert, who was wearing sunglasses, nodded.

Wearing sunglasses in such a dark night, could it be that your eyes can glow? Hikigaya secretly complained in his heart, and at the same time, it was also confirmed by Ishizaki's mouth that he had guessed not long ago.

"Ishizaki, don't say anything careless. I never told you anything about the 'test question trade', and I never did anything illegal."

"Asshole, you clearly told Hiyori in the library..."

"Shut up! Idiot Ishizaki!"

Ibuki finally couldn't help but interrupt Ishizaki, staring at Hikigaya angrily: "Don't you understand? This guy said that to us on purpose! And then you foolishly believed it and fell for his trick! I warned you then!"

"what?"

Ishizaki felt dizzy, but finally realized that he had been deceived!

"Hey, you fish-fighting bastard!"

Ryuen stared at Hikigaya gloomily. "Do you understand the consequences of doing this? We in Class C may have a lot of failing students, but don't forget that you in Class D have also received the exam questions. If that happens, a lot of students will drop out of Class D as well!"

"Haha, it seems you are not stupid."

Hikigaya sneered, "But you think you can force me to give up by using Class D?"

Long Yuan's heart sank.

"Anyway, someone like me, who would still be ostracized by the class even if I joined the student council, looked down upon and privately insulted by the entire class, wouldn't say ridiculous things like 'I won't betray the class' or 'I have feelings for the class', am I right?"

Hikigaya's familiar answer was exactly the same as the ridicule Ryuen gave Hikigaya half a month ago. Now, Hikigaya was using it to retaliate against him. How could this not make the self-righteous Ryuen so angry that he wanted to vomit blood!

This is simply an insult to Chi Luoluo!

Hikigaya looked at Ryuuen's face, which looked as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit, and he felt so happy and relieved. It felt so good to be slapped in the face. No wonder so many people like to read those novels about dragons in other worlds and slapping toilet paper in the face. It turns out that it is really addictive!

Chapter 86: Conspiracy.

"Why? Are you surprised? Or do you think I'm cold? Selfish? Heartless?"

Hikigaya looked around at Ishizaki, Ibuki, and the others, noticing their grim expressions. He couldn't help but laugh. "So what if a few people from Class D drop out of this midterm exam? What does it have to do with me? You know your grades aren't good enough, but you still don't work hard. You managed to get away with it once by cheating like this. What about the second and third time?"

Do you really think you're Long Aotian, the son of destiny, who can always turn danger into safety? Don't be ridiculous. For those who lack even self-awareness, it's better for them to stumble here than to stumble in society in the future. This is already the greatest kindness for them! "

This is indeed Hikigaya's truest thought, and this is true for Class C and Class D as well.

Even if we take a step back, even if they got the old test questions, the approaches of Class D and Class C would be completely different, or it could be said that Ayanokouji and Kushida have a longer-term vision than Ryuuen!

Even if the school changes the test questions in the end, the impact on Class D will not be as serious as that on Class C.

"And do you know what the biggest difference between me and you is?"

Hikigaya suddenly asked.

"Is...what is it?"

Hikigaya was planning to talk to himself, but he didn't expect Ishizaki to unexpectedly support him. No wonder Ryuuen accepted him as his younger brother, he really knows how to handle things.

"It's simple, because I have no interest in Class A."

Ishizaki, Ibuki, and the others were stunned for a moment, then gave me a clear 'are you kidding me' expression.

Hey! I'm telling the truth!

"So, it doesn't matter to me how many people are expelled from Class D. But it's different for you, Class C. You've been doing all these things, aren't you just longing to be promoted to Class A?"

As he spoke, Hikigaya stared straight at Ryuuen.

"Tell me! What do you want?"

Things have come to this point, and Ryuuen can no longer hold back. When he said this, it also meant that Ryuuen had "admitted defeat". As long as they still want to be promoted to Class A, the lifeblood of Class C will always be in the hands of the other party.

"I thought you would continue to struggle, but you gave in so quickly?"

Hikigaya was slightly surprised.

"Stop talking nonsense! If you wanted to kill Class C, there was no need to come out to us! Tell me, what on earth do you want to do when you don't even care about your own class!"

Realizing that he couldn't turn the situation around, Ryuuen immediately changed his mindset.

Hikigaya originally thought that Ryuuen would try to struggle, but he didn't expect Ryuuen to be so decisive. However, only this decisiveness is worthy of praise, everything else is a bunch of shit.

Of course, Ryuuen should have also noticed Hikigaya's intention. After all, if Hikigaya really wanted to bring down Class C, he could just act in secret, and then Class C would naturally collapse tomorrow. They might not even be able to find the mastermind behind the scenes. There would be no need to do such a waste of effort like now.

"Long Yuan, is this all you can do? But is this your attitude of begging for help? I still remember what happened in the cafe that day very clearly."

Hikigaya has always remembered the incident of getting splashed with coffee! Humph, I really do hold a grudge!

"I'm sorry, I was wrong that day. Please...please forgive me. I will reflect on it in the future."

Ryuuen apologized without hesitation with a straight 90-degree bow.

"Brother Long Yuan!"

Ishizaki and the others shouted in shock. They didn't expect that the arrogant and domineering person in Class C would actually bow and apologize. They were immediately stopped by Ryuen's fierce eyes.

Hikigaya also showed a look of surprise. It seemed that he had underestimated the decisiveness and strong heart of this "tyrant". If it were someone else, they would probably not be able to bear such humiliation from Hikigaya and would rush forward to fight desperately.

The Ryuuen in front of me not only judges the situation, but can even kowtow in front of his subordinates. This strong willpower is really rare in this age group. I originally thought that Ryuuen relied solely on brute force to get to Class C, but it seems that I underestimated him.

It's quite like Han Xin who suffered humiliation under the crotch, enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens, right?
