Whether it's scolding or passive-aggressive behavior, it's better to have a short pain than a long one. It's better to talk things out now while we're still strangers than to get to know each other later and be unable to express our feelings due to emotional constraints, only to have a huge outburst after experiencing all sorts of cringe-worthy situations.

What kind of third-rate romance novel plot is this?

Let's just do seppuku!

In short, the moment Hachiman Hikigaya saw Lin Qianshu, he had already planned out how he would die.

Lin Qianshu naturally had no idea what Hachiman Hikigaya was thinking, but seeing the constantly changing colors of his emotions, he knew that this guy was not calm at all.

Upon seeing the other party's determination to die, Lin Qianshu completely lost his composure.

If we're not friends, there's no need, really no need.

To prevent a classmate from committing seppuku in front of him at any moment, Lin Qianshu quickly said, "Teacher, who is this...?"

"His name is Hikigaya, and he wants to join the club. Oh, by the way, he's your classmate." Hiratsuka Shizuka had no idea that in just a short time, the student next to her had already prepared to die.

However, given Hiratsuka Shizuka's personality, if she knew that Hachiman thought this way, she would most likely not try to dissuade him with words, but would simply correct him with her fists.

Yes, suicide turned into homicide.

Chapter 10: That man only had eyes for becoming stronger.

"I'm Hachiman Hikigaya from Class 2-F. It might sound strange to say this all of a sudden, but I absolutely have no intention of joining your company... Ouch!"

Before Hachiman could finish speaking, he was knocked down by a super elbow strike.

"My punishment for you is to join this club, and I won't listen to any arguments, resistance, protests, dissatisfaction, or backtalk. You stay here and calm down, and reflect on your actions!"

So, what kind of prison is our Service Department? After hearing Hiratsuka Shizuka's description, both Yukinoshita and Hayashi Chiki had several black lines appear on their foreheads simultaneously.

"Dictatorship! This is dictatorship!"

Whoa, you've been elbowed like that and you're still going to fight back? Hachiman, you bastard...

"If you keep talking nonsense, I won't be so polite." Hiratsuka Shizuka suppressed him without any mercy, and then looked at the two people sitting in the classroom.

"In short, as you can see, he has a very awkward personality, so he is always lonely and pitiful. If we teach him how to get along with people, this situation should improve. So, can we put him here? I would like to ask you to change his awkward and withdrawn personality."

Yukinoshita didn't have a good impression of Hikigaya, especially after learning that he was involved in the car accident, she didn't want to have anything to do with him.

Lin Qianshu was already overwhelming for her, and if another strange-looking guy were added to the mix, Yukinoshita felt that her future club life was somewhat bleak.

Therefore, Yukinoshita said in a cold voice, "If that's the case, then please teach him a lesson by punching and kicking him."

What cold-hearted words!

Even though Hikigaya was prepared to die, he couldn't help but show a shocked expression after hearing Yukinoshita's words.

"I would like to if I could, but things are being strictly controlled lately, and teachers are not allowed to use physical violence against students."

What brutal and bloody words!

Does that mean all women in the world are violent and bloodthirsty? Otherwise, how do you explain why every woman he meets wants to physically assault him?

No, Komachi wouldn't do that, sob sob sob, it seems like no girl in the world is important except for my little sister!

"Please allow me to refuse..."

"Yukinoshita, please wait a moment." Lin Qianshu, as a subordinate, very abruptly interrupted his superior Yukinoshita's negotiation process.

Yukino Yukinoshita looked at her club members with a puzzled expression, as if asking if there was a problem.

Lin Qianshu gestured for Yukinoshita to calm down, then looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka and said, "Teacher, are you sure you want to ask us to help correct this... Cookie Gu's awkward personality?"

“That’s right,” Hiratsuka Shizuka confirmed.

“Um…” Cookie Gu wanted to remind him that his name was Hachiman Hikigaya.

Hachiman doesn't think his personality needs to be corrected; rather, he thinks it's the world that needs to be corrected!

However, none of the three people present looked at him, which made Hikigaya give up.

Originally, Lin Qianshu did not want to interfere with Yukinoshita's decision. Whether Hachiman joined or not, Lin Qianshu didn't really care, even though he had been taken down by Hachiman in a way.

But then again, if he hadn't been created, he might not have been able to awaken the system, so it could be considered a blessing in disguise.

In short, aside from having some reservations about his act of risking his life to save the dog, Lin Qianshu himself neither disliked nor liked him.

What made him go against his initial thoughts and interfere with Yukino's decision was actually the blue exclamation mark that appeared above Hiratsuka Shizuka's head.

This is the third type of wish-granting request Lin Qianshu has encountered, belonging to the third level of the request, which is two levels higher than the first gray-level wish-granting request he encountered.

Incidentally, the levels of willpower are divided into gray, green, blue, purple, and gold. I guess the person who designed this system must have played a lot of online games.

Lin Qianshu felt that he couldn't accept the golden wish power commission for the time being, but surely the blue one would be fine?

The commission has been delivered right to our door, so there's no reason to turn it away!

Young Lin Qianshu longs to become stronger.

"Since Ms. Hiratsuka has said so, I think Yukinoshita might want to reconsider. After all, wasn't the purpose of our Service Club to help the weak?"

Is the founding principle really based on the strong supporting the weak? Seriously, is it really okay to arbitrarily label others as weak? Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm third in the humanities in my grade. Although I can't compare to that freak next to you who's first in the grade, I still deserve the title of strong in terms of academic ability, right? Also, why were you staring at Hiratsuka-sensei-sensei when you said that? At least look at me when you're labeling me as weak, right? Hachiman's mind was filled with muttering thoughts.

While it may seem that Lin Qianshu is staring at Hiratsuka Shizuka, he is actually eyeing the wish-granting request!

At least after the blue exclamation mark appeared above Hiratsuka Shizuka's head, Lin Qianshu's eyes were no longer on anything else. Unless Yukinoshita was willing to reveal the golden exclamation mark, he would never pay attention to anything else.

Loyal! Sincerity!

Yukino Yukinoshita didn't understand why Hayashi Chiki would suddenly say that, but she had already grasped the meaning he wanted to convey. Hayashi Chiki wanted that Cookie Gu to join the club, otherwise he would never have gone to the trouble of saying such a thing.

Although Yukinoshita wanted to refuse Hikigaya's offer to join the club, she couldn't ignore Hayashi Chiki's opinion...

"Are you sure?" This is what Yukinoshita said to Hayashi Chiki.

"It mainly depends on Minister Yukinoshita's opinion." Lin Qianshu didn't give a definite answer, but that was the gist of her words.

You know what I mean?

Yukinoshita understands what Hayashi Senju means, but she doesn't understand what Hayashi Senju means at all.

Forget it, since Lin Qianshu doesn't care, why should I care?

Hmph, you'll regret it later!

With Lin Qianshu's intervention, Yukino Yukinoshita's heart tipped to the other side.

"Alright, since the teacher and Lin Qianshu have both said so, I can't just sit idly by... I agree to this request."

"So in the end, no one even asked for my opinion?" Hachiman felt he shouldn't be in this classroom; it didn't matter whether he was there or not!

"Okay, I'll leave the rest to you." Hiratsuka Shizuka smiled with satisfaction.

After saying this, Lin Qianshu received feedback: was a small amount of wish points given for just a preliminary agreement?

This made Lin Qianshu feel a little incredulous. If the blue wish-power requests were like this, wouldn't the golden ones be able to take off?

He made his decision; he would finish dealing with Hiratsuka Shizuka's request as soon as possible, and then focus all his efforts on tackling Yukinoshita.

Thinking of this, Lin Qianshu slowly looked at Hikigaya Hachiman, who had been left in the classroom by Hiratsuka Shizuka, and a kind smile appeared on his face.

You want to correct my awkward personality, right?

Chapter 11 Falling out is faster than turning the page in a book

Hiratsuka Shizuka has left, but Hikigaya Hachiman hasn't, though he seems to be leaving soon.

Reading comprehension test: What do the three instances of "walk" above represent, and what emotions do they express about the protagonist?

Lin Qianshu noticed that Hikigaya's expression kept changing after Hiratsuka Shizuka left, sometimes ferocious, sometimes obsequious, as if he had a split personality. It was clear that there was something seriously wrong with him.

"Anyway, sit down first." Lin Qianshu gestured for Hachiman to sit down, and for the sake of the wish points, he even personally moved a chair for him.

"Thank you." Hachiman was a little reserved, and his voice sounded somewhat unnatural. When he saw Lin Qianshu move a chair for him, he became even more humbled and quickly took the chair and sat down.

It's worth mentioning that Hachiman placed himself far away, almost at the other end of the classroom, as if only in this way could he feel at ease.

Yukinoshita glanced at Hikigaya and then seemed to lose interest in him. After Hiratsuka Shizuka left, she focused all her attention on the book in her hand, showing no intention of exchanging pleasantries and leaving all matters to Hayashi Chiki.

Who else could it be but someone Lin Qianshu wanted to stay?

Yukino Yukinoshita even had a slightly wicked thought: what kind of expression would Lin Qianshu have if she told him now that the person sitting next to him was one of the 'culprits' who caused him to suffer an undeserved disaster?

Of course, she was just thinking about it, because compared to Hikigaya, she was the direct culprit who caused Lin Qianshu to stay at home for two weeks.

The composition of my club members is really too strange. From the minister to the two members, they are all related to a car accident. It is more like a traffic police accident liability division group than a service club.

"Speaking of which..."

Upon hearing Lin Qianshu speak, Yukinoshita pretended to be reading, but in reality, she secretly pricked up her ears. She could read the contents of the book at any time, but the interesting scene before her was a rare sight.

Judging from their behavior just now, it seems that Hachiman has already recognized Lin Qianshu. After all, apart from glancing at him as soon as he entered, Hachiman's attention has been mainly focused on Lin Qianshu.

It wasn't that Yukinoshita was boasting, but she considered herself an extremely beautiful woman with a strong attraction to the opposite sex. Normally, any boy with a normal sexual orientation would pay more attention to her than to Lin Qianshu who was beside her.

This alone is enough to conclude that Hachiman recognized Lin Chishu. As for whether Lin Chishu recognized Hachiman...

Yukinoshita narrowed her eyes slightly, finally ceasing to secretly observe him out of the corner of her eye. Instead, she openly observed Lin Qianshu's expression and actions while pretending to be thirsty and preparing to drink tea, and also listened to how he planned to complete Hiratsuka Shizuka's request.

"By the way, does Hachiman-kun know what kind of club this is?"

"Socialization training camp?"

"Does Hachiman consider himself a cat or a dog?"

"Sorry, I'm a human." Hachiman apologized to his instructor straightforwardly, indicating that he would rather be a human being.

So, it turns out the other person knew the correct way to pronounce my name! Does that mean they were deliberately calling me by the wrong name before? This is bullying, isn't it? It's definitely bullying!

Lin Qianshu nodded upon hearing this. He had no problem with his self-awareness and could communicate normally, so this request wasn't too difficult.

"So, may I ask what kind of organization this is?" Lin Qianshu asked again.

This time, Hachiman didn't joke around anymore. His brain started working quickly, and suddenly he saw the book in Yukinoshita's hand and an idea popped into his head.

"Is it the Literature and Art Club?"

"Oh...why?" Lin Qianshu asked with interest, while inwardly confirming that the other party possessed normal logical thinking ability.

"Because it doesn't require a special environment or equipment, and the club won't fail even if there are too few members, in other words, this club doesn't need funding. And I saw her reading a book just now, so the answer was obvious from the beginning."

Hachiman became more and more confident and certain as he spoke, as if possessed by a bespectacled elementary school student, just short of saying, "I've been touching the socks of my cunning all along."

"Congratulations... you answered incorrectly."

When Hachiman heard the word "congratulations," a victorious smile had already spread across his face. However, the "wrong answer" that followed immediately froze his smile in place.

Since you answered incorrectly, why congratulate me?

Hachiman strongly suspected that the other party had already recognized him and was just using this method to 'play' him, like a demon.

Do you need a hint?

Look, this tone, like a demon seducing people step by step into depravity, what else could it be but a demon?

"The Occult Research Society?" Hachiman thought it was perfectly reasonable for a demon to be in the Occult Research Society, since both Lin Chishu and Yukinoshita next to him were so good-looking that they didn't seem like normal humans.

Yukinoshita is undoubtedly the most beautiful girl in Soubu High School, while Hayashi Chiki is so handsome that even Hachiman, who is of the same sex, thinks she is very good-looking.

It's common knowledge that for one man to compliment another man on his good looks, he must be truly handsome.

“Hmm, it’s getting close.” Surprisingly, Lin Qianshu didn’t refute Hikigaya.

The wish-power system and superpowers should also be considered supernatural, right?

"This isn't some kind of academic society." Yukinoshita couldn't help but chime in, not wanting her club to be misinterpreted as something ambiguous.

"The Supernatural Research Club!"

"No way! Hmph, how could such a thing exist in the world? How old is he..." Yukinoshita looked at Hachiman with disdain.

Sorry, but this is the only point where I'm on Hachiman's side.

Lin Qianshu silently cheered for Hachiman in his heart, but on the surface he still echoed his own captain.

"I surrender, I had no idea." Hachiman decided to end this boring guessing game. In the end, he didn't even know what a club was before joining, and it was all that woman's fault!

Lin Qianshu looked at Xue Zhixia, her eyes conveying a clear message—should you say it, or should I?

Yukino Yukinoshita sighed and spoke in a cool voice: "The rich give to the poor with a compassionate heart, that is what is called public welfare. Such as providing aid to developing countries, providing meals for the homeless, and enabling boys who are not popular with girls to talk to girls - extending a helping hand to those who encounter difficulties, that is the content of our club's activities."

As she spoke, Yukinoshita stood up from her seat, walked to the middle of the classroom, and looked down at Hachiman from a superior position, like a lord addressing a newly arrived serf: "Welcome to the Service Club. I'm very sorry to have you join the club."
