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

As if sensing Hikigaya's puzzled gaze, Sakayanagi turned back to look at him, as if explaining something to him: "Hikigaya-kun, you should know that I have difficulty walking. I've been very grateful to Mr. Hiratsuka for taking care of me during this period."

Hikigaya looked at Teacher Shizuka again, as if to confirm with her.

"When did you become so suspicious?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka seemed very dissatisfied with Hikigaya's behavior.

"Hiratsuka-sensei and Hikigaya-kun look very familiar. Could it be that Hiratsuka-sensei and Hikigaya-kun... knew each other before?"

Sakayanagi narrowed her eyes and smiled.

"I say, you two kids..."

Shizuka Hiratsuka was speechless. "It's true that this school encourages competition, but it's not just about blind competition. You're both smart students, so you should understand what I mean."

"Teacher Jing, I'm just a student from Class D. You know the situation in Class D. Even you were almost pissed off by it. It's such a terrible class. How can I possibly compete with Sakayanagi from Class A?"

Sakayanagi's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this: "Class D does seem to be in bad shape right now, but it's hard to say what will happen in the future. There might be other outstanding students like Hikigaya-kun buried there, yet to be discovered."

Sakayanagi's words seemed polite, but Hikigaya felt that he had something else in mind. For some reason, a figure with a paralyzed face suddenly appeared in his mind.

Hikigaya was about to speak when Teacher Shizuka clapped her hands: "Alright, alright, today is the last day, tomorrow is the holiday! You two, just let me go, it's time to get off work now, I don't want to work, I have someone to go drink with!"

Having said that, Teacher Jing kicked the two out without any hesitation.

"Really, I think you two must have been assigned too little homework!"

After saying that, with a "click", Teacher Jing locked the door of the guidance room and walked away, leaving only Hikigaya and Sakayanagi in the corridor.

"Hikigaya-kun, would you like to have dinner together?"

Sakayanagi's sincere invitation.

Hikigaya thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Chapter 157: For unity.

Sakayanagi didn't choose the restaurant in the Keyaki shopping center. Perhaps she knew that there would be many students in the shopping center today, so she chose the nearest school cafeteria. There were surprisingly few students in the cafeteria today.

"What do you want to eat?"

Standing in front of the meal ticket vending machine, Hikigaya looked back at Sakayanagi. The silver-haired girl was slightly startled, then realized that this was the boy's good intentions, and then smiled softly: "Whatever."

Hikigaya's face suddenly turned dark. Doesn't this mean there is no answer? Moreover, no matter what choice he makes, whether it is good or bad is up to the other party. This is a completely irresponsible answer!

This was also the answer Hikigaya disliked the most.

Sakayanagi couldn't help but laugh when she saw Hikigaya's expression. "Hikigaya-kun and I can just eat the same thing."

Upon hearing this, Hikigaya couldn't help but give the silver-haired girl a cold look. What a little rascal she really was, she even played tricks on him over something as trivial as eating?

Could it be that he is still holding a grudge against me because of what happened last time?

A vindictive little scoundrel?

"Hikigaya-kun, aren't you saying bad things about me in your mind?"

Sakayanagi suddenly spoke.

"You, what's wrong with you? This isn't happening at all!"

Hikigaya's face froze. How come this little bad guy could read minds?

"Haha, hasn't Hikigaya ever heard that eyes don't lie?"

Hikigaya's eyes met Sakayanagi's, who blinked with a smile on her face. One second, two seconds... five seconds later, Hikigaya couldn't help but turn his eyes away, and then he heard the triumphant laughter of the girl opposite him.

Afterwards, at Hikigaya's urging, Sakayanagi sat down at a window seat in the cafeteria. Not long after, Hikigaya came back with two steaming bowls of beef rice.

"Hikigaya-kun, you know what? Sometimes your intentions are just too easy to understand."

Sakayanagi looked at the beef rice bowl set in front of her and couldn't help but sigh.

"Huh? This is expensive, okay? The price of one serving is equivalent to my food expenses for a day and a half!"

Hikigaya was immediately displeased. If it weren't for Sakayanagi's usual "aristocratic lady" demeanor, he wouldn't have chosen this expensive set meal, which not only used top-quality beef, but also came in generous portions!

"Beef is high-quality protein. Eating more beef is very good for your health. And you see the portion is quite large. And you said it yourself, 'the same as what I eat'..."

"Haha, so your intentions are too easy to understand, Hikigaya-kun. And... were you deliberately mocking me with what you just said?"

Sakayanagi narrowed her eyes.

"I don't have a problem with your height. I just thought today is the last day of the semester, so I wanted to treat myself to something delicious!"

Hikigaya explained with a somewhat stiff tone.

Sakayanagi on the opposite side just smiled but said nothing, what a weird person he was. After that, both of them didn't say much and started eating in silence.

Perhaps because they were in front of boys, or perhaps because of their tutoring, after Hikigaya finished eating, Sakayanagi across from him had only eaten less than a third of his meal, and it looked like he had almost finished it as well.

At this time, Hikigaya finally realized what Sakayanagi's sigh just now meant. It seemed that no matter what age the girls were, eating less dinner seemed to have become a tacit understanding, and it seemed that this was already the limit of Sakayanagi's appetite.

At first, Hikigaya thought that a girl like Sakayanagi, who was weak and short, should eat more to increase nutrition and development. But now it seems that boys and girls have completely different understandings of "eating".

"Sorry..."

Hikigaya couldn't help but think of the saying 'good intentions lead to bad results'. Was it because of him that the other party was forced to do it?

Sometimes interfering too much in other people's lives is a bad thing.

Sakayanagi put down her cutlery, wiped the corner of her mouth, and looked up at the boy with dead eyes across from her: "I asked Hikigaya-kun to choose. What's wrong with that?"

"Besides...compared to this, I think Hikigaya-kun should be more distressed that such expensive food is wasted."

Hikigaya: "..."

Well, actually there is this reason. After all, it would be a shame to waste such expensive food. You know, in the past, this might be food he could only eat on his birthday!

Of course, Komachi is not one of them. She can eat "ordinary food" by just acting cute to her father and mother.

Damn, is this the eldest daughter of a wealthy family?

"Hikigaya-kun, you, you're not thinking about that, are you..."

Sakayanagi noticed that Hikigaya was staring blankly at the remaining beef in his bowl, and his expression became strange, with a hint of anger!

"Huh? Haha, you, what are you thinking! Am I the kind of guy who eats girls' leftovers? Haha, that's hilarious! The most I've ever eaten is Komachi's leftovers!"

Hikigaya quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Sakayanagi: "!!!"

"Alright, alright, anyway, Sakayanagi, what's going on? Let's get straight to the point and be honest!"

Hikigaya tried to change the subject.

Sakayanagi took a deep breath, adjusted her breathing, and then said, "Originally, I did have something to do, but what Hiratsuka-sensei said just now inspired me."

"This school encourages competition among students, but as Mr. Hiratsuka said, there's more to it than just competition."

"You mean... cooperation?"

"Hikigaya-kun is really quick to react."

Hikigaya looked at Sakayanagi across from him with a strange expression: "Did I hear correctly? Sakayanagi, a student from Class A, came to discuss cooperation with me, a student from Class D?"

Hikigaya always felt that this little scoundrel was setting a trap for him.

"Rather than collaboration, it's more like a 'chess game' before an important exam."

Sakayanagi's expression was calm.

"I don't understand."

Hikigaya decisively refused.

"hehe."

Sakayanagi seemed to have anticipated Hikigaya's reaction and said to herself, "I have to miss the next exam due to my health, so I need a player who can make moves for me."

"You call them chess players, but you're actually chess pieces, right?"

Hikigaya sneered and directly exposed Sakayanagi: "I don't know where you got the information about the next exam, but I have no obligation to help you compete with others."

Hikigaya has already understood what Sakayanagi meant. She wants to use him to help her deal with Katsuragi!

After all, Class A is now divided into the Katsuragi faction, the Sakayanagi faction, and some neutral factions. After the competition in the first semester, it is obvious that the Katsuragi faction has the advantage, so Sakayanagi plans to use Hikigaya to deal with the Katsuragi faction in the next exam.

Has the internal fighting in Class A become so serious?

"And no matter how you try to justify it, Sakayanagi's actions are undoubtedly a betrayal of the class."

Sakayanagi chuckled at this. "Betrayal? Hikigaya-kun, you're wrong. I just want Class A to have a single voice, so that everyone in the class can unite and not be torn apart by internal strife."

Chapter 158: The taste of Hikigaya.

"Is it for Class A?"

Hikigaya sneered: "You really are good at making excuses for yourself."

Sakayanagi's argument is clearly sophistry. If it is for the class, there can be internal struggle, but externally, there should be unity and solidarity, rather than finding outsiders to attack competitors like now.

"I heard from Ms. Hiratsuka that you were her former student?"

Suddenly, Sakayanagi changed the subject and mentioned someone Hikigaya had not expected.

"It's great to meet the teacher who used to take care of me in this school."

Hikigaya's face changed instantly, and his expression suddenly became cold. He stared at the silver-haired girl opposite him with indifference.

Sakayanagi naturally noticed the sudden change in Hikigaya's temperament, just like a ball of cotton that could be trampled on at will, but suddenly sharp thorns emerged from it, and if he wasn't careful, he would be pricked and his hands would be covered in blood.

But... this is exactly what the silver-haired girl expected to see.

Ever since the last game of chess, Sakayanagi wouldn't say she was still brooding over it, but Hikigaya had left a deep impression on her.

After that, she began to pay attention to the movements of the boy in Class D, and slowly discovered something that made her feel interesting.

It is exactly what you see before your eyes. He clearly has outstanding talents but he always hides them. It is not that he hides them intentionally, or that he is playing the so-called "playing the pig and eating the tiger", hiding his talents, but that he gives up like "giving up on himself"!

Only when he is forced into a desperate situation or his reverse scale is touched, will this boy with dead eyes truly reveal his sharp fangs!

It was through that game of chess that Sakayanagi vaguely realized that deep within the heart of the boy before her was a 'beast' more terrifying than anyone else!

As for the violation that had recently caused a stir among the first graders, because it involved someone she cared deeply about, she used someone's channels to learn more about the whole thing...

Ayanokouji, who she regarded as a 'genius' since childhood, would actually be 'defeated' in this way one day!

At least in Sakayanagi's opinion, not only did Ayanokouji 'voluntarily' take the blame, but he also now carries a bad reputation in his grade. Even many students in Class A have seen their opinions of Ayanokouji plummet because of this incident.

So... she wanted to personally 'taste' the 'flavor' of Hikigaya who defeated Ayanokouji!

"Sakayanagi, what do you mean?!"

Hikigaya's tone was exceptionally cold.

Sakayanagi smiled slightly. "I just want to invite Hikigaya-kun to a game of chess, that's all. Of course, if you can win, I can grant you a request."

Hikigaya looked at Sakayanagi deeply. The silver-haired girl still had a smile on her face, and her expression didn't change at all because of Hikigaya's gaze.

"I hope you won't regret this decision."

Hikigaya said coldly.

"I'm sorry, the only word in my vocabulary is 'victory'."

Sakayanagi didn't give in at all. The girl's composure came from her confidence.

……

Hikigaya had already left, and Sakayanagi was the only one left at the cafeteria table. Not long after, a girl with short black hair sat down opposite Sakayanagi.

"Xiao Sakayanagi, you're playing with fire by doing this~"

"Haha, it's really ridiculous to hear this sentence coming out of your mouth."

Sakayanagi looked at Haruno across from her, still smiling, but the smile was a little cold.

"Unfortunately, your wishful thinking was wrong. You thought I would seek your help and then attack Katsuragi in the next exam."
