Making everyone learn sign language for Nishimiya Shoko at this time undoubtedly provides these people with a reasonable outlet for their frustrations.

"Teacher, why do we need to learn sign language?"

Naoka Ueno quickly raised a question, and Kita-sensei's face showed a hint of confusion after hearing the question.

It's understandable that Kita-sensei makes mistakes, but as the class administrator, Takeuchi should have at least sensed it.

Hikigaya stared at Takeuchi, trying to read his true thoughts from his face, but the guy didn't show any extra emotional fluctuations from beginning to end, as if he was completely detached from the matter.

Hey, is this guy just going to play dead like this?

On stage, Ms. Kita pondered for a moment and naively replied that learning sign language would make it easier for Nishimiya Shoko to communicate. However, Naoka Ueno went on to say that writing would be more convenient for her.

At this moment, Ms. Kita felt somewhat lost. She turned her head to ask her homeroom teacher, Takeuchi, for help, but the latter remained expressionless, leaning against the wall, showing no intention of intervening.

This bastard...

Hikigaya narrowed his eyes; this was the first time he had felt such anger towards a teacher.

Hikigaya believes that sign language may not improve the situation, but this is not an excuse for Takeuchi to be lazy and give up. Although he does not agree with the view that every teacher should guide students to become better, he should at least not deliberately hold students back.

If things continue like this, it will be very difficult for both Kita-sensei and Nishimiya Shoko.

Ugh, what a hassle. It's all that scumbag Takeuchi's fault!

With a slight sigh, Hachiman raised his hand.

"Kita..."

Halfway through his sentence, another, even louder voice drowned out Hachiman's words.

"Teacher, I will try my best to learn sign language!"

Hikigaya silently lowered his hand, which was halfway raised. Seeing this, Kita-sensei breathed a long sigh of relief and even thanked Nijika without suppressing his emotions.

It seems the students' reactions just now put a lot of psychological pressure on her, so that damn bastard teacher!

however.

What angered Hikigaya even more was that Takeuchi had no intention of participating at all from beginning to end. But when Kita-sensei started demonstrating the first sign language gesture, he said, "Kita-sensei, please hurry up, the next lesson is about to begin."

"Oh, I'm sorry, it'll be ready soon."

The first sign language lesson was a bit rushed, and the kind-hearted teacher, Kita, attributed it to her own immaturity.

After class, Hikigaya saw Nijika enthusiastically appear at Nishimiya Shoko's desk, learning sign language from her.

Naoka Ueno, who happened to witness this scene, curled her lip and vented her dissatisfaction with Takeuchi on the two people in front of her.

"Tch, it's just for a few credits, isn't it?"

At that moment, Hongxia slammed down her notebook and walked towards Ueno. The students nearby immediately perked up their ears; during the boring break time, no one wanted to witness this exciting argument.

Unfortunately, Hongxia had no intention of swearing. She pulled the corners of her mouth to the sides and stuck out her tongue at Ueno Naoka: "Hehehe, Ueno, don't be envious. I'll definitely learn sign language before you!"

Speechless, Naoka Ueno clicked her tongue in annoyance: "...She's such an idiot."

Hikigaya, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but chuckle, but Naoka Ueno, who was in a fit of anger, saw it and said: "Hey, what are you laughing at? That's disgusting."

Hachiman didn't expect to be caught in the crossfire, but this time he didn't stay silent. Instead, he coldly mocked, "It's nothing, it's just funny to think that someone has broken down."

"Hitori, you bastard..."

"Hey, who is Hitori Tani? You can't even remember the names of your classmates. You'll probably never learn sign language in your life."

Hachiman's words shocked everyone present, because in their eyes, he should be the kind of coward who couldn't even speak clearly.

"Higurashi, wasn't that your original name?"

Naoka Ueno spoke very seriously, and even Hachiman couldn't tell whether she was pretending to be stupid or genuinely stupid for a moment. Meanwhile, Shoya Ishida couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.

"That's hilarious, Ueno! His name is clearly Hikiko, you've completely got it wrong!"

"Who knew his name was so weird? Is he an idiot?"

Naoka Ueno felt inexplicably annoyed that a boy she cared about was making fun of her over such a trivial matter.

"hehe."

Hikigaya smiled. He didn't mean to help Nijika out of the predicament; he just couldn't stand Ueno's sarcastic attitude.

Immediately afterwards, he got up and left the classroom, but a little while later he found that Hongxia had followed him out.

"What's up?"

"Hachiman, thank you for helping me and Shoko-chan just now."

Nijika's smile was radiant, and Hachiman instinctively avoided her gaze: "Sorry, you misunderstood. I just simply can't stand that bitch."

"Bichi?"

Hongxia tilted her head in confusion.

Hikigaya was taken aback. Okay, so this word has already entered the knowledge gaps of elementary school students?

"No, it's nothing... If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"Hey, wait a minute, Hachiman, would you like to learn sign language with us?"

"...Never mind, I'm not interested in this."

Just when everyone thought the conversation would end there, Nijika walked around to Hachiman's front and carefully examined his face. After a long while, she said, "I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel like Hachiman's eyes have become a little sharper."

"Maybe I didn't sleep well last night."

Hachiman subconsciously touched the corner of his eye, thinking that his dead fish eyes were probably coming back soon. Once he returned to his peak form, no one in the entire school would want to approach him.

So, how about we try staying up all night to achieve this goal?

"Okay, then Hikigaya-kun should rest more. I'm going to go play with Shoko-chan."

"OK Bye Bye."

019 Arrogant and proud

During the afternoon Japanese language class, the temperature gradually rose, and Hikigaya, sitting in the last row, lay on his desk, completely unable to muster any energy.

"No, not 'shame'," Takeuchi-sensei said, reading from the blackboard in a completely emotionless voice. The students below were drowsy, but because Takeuchi had just lost his temper that morning, they had no choice but to force themselves to stay awake.

Hikigaya had already finished studying the Japanese language course for this semester on his own, so it didn't matter if he didn't listen to Takeuchi's lessons. So he turned his gaze to the distance and began to count the clouds on the horizon.

Ah, that looks like Ka-kun. Speaking of which, when did they start keeping cats?

It seems to be the first year of junior high?

Let's ask Dad to go to the cattery in a few years and bring Ka-kun back.

Just as Hikigaya was lost in thought, Takeuchi-sensei suddenly called on Naoki Ueno and asked her to stand up and read the text aloud.

Naoki Ueno, who had been called out, picked up his book sullenly: "I did nothing wrong, so I will never say sorry."

Hachiman withdrew his gaze from the clouds and watched the scene with great interest.

How should I put it? This passage is surprisingly fitting for these two guys...

"Ueno, what kind of pronunciation is that?" Takeuchi-sensei criticized with dissatisfaction. "Never mind, next one."

In Hikigaya's opinion, although Naoki Ueno was seething with anger, he should have no problem reading aloud. Therefore, he could conclude that Takeuchi was saying this to get revenge for what happened that morning.

So this guy really is a scumbag...

Then, Takeuchi called on Nishimiya Shoko to read aloud. Even Nishimiya Shoko, who doesn't speak very fluently, had a hard time reading, and should have been criticized, but Takeuchi didn't say anything.

Hikigaya curled his lip. Takeuchi was clearly putting on a show for the students, using this method to establish his authority.

Regardless of whether this action was effective or not, Takeuchi's actions further lowered Nishimiya Shoko's popularity among her classmates.

"Why is it that nothing happened to Nishimiya when she did that?"

Naoka Ueno was sulking down below when Shoya Ishida, who was called up next, saw this and, after a moment's thought, made a strange "ee-yah-yah" sound, clearly imitating Shoko Nishimiya's voice from earlier.

The comical reading immediately caused the whole class to burst into laughter.

"Ishida, don't cause trouble, sit down." Takeuchi only gave a verbal warning.

Hikigaya frowned. He realized that he had underestimated Takeuchi's scumbag nature. As an adult, he must have known the consequences of what he had just done.

Therefore, he had reason to suspect that Takeuchi was also secretly ostracizing Nishimiya Shoko, but his methods were much more covert than those of the other elementary school students, and were also more despicable and disgusting.

Damn it, this guy is really infuriating.

"Hikigaya, it's your turn next." Takeuchi continued calling out names in front of the blackboard.

Upon hearing the instruction, Hikigaya silently stood up from his seat. He opened his mouth while holding his textbook, but remained silent for several seconds.

"What are you doing, Hachiman?" Takeuchi pushed up his glasses in confusion.

"Ah, I saw that the teacher thought it didn't matter how it was read, so..." Hachiman innocently scratched his head.

Upon hearing this, Takeuchi felt a jolt in his head, staring intently at Hachiman for a full ten seconds before pointing outside the classroom: "Hachiman, go stand outside."

And so, Hikigaya spent the entire Japanese literature class in the corridor, but for some reason, he unexpectedly felt quite comfortable.

After class, Takeuchi completely ignored his presence, took his textbook, and returned to his office, while Hachiman went back to his seat afterward.

As soon as he entered the classroom, he heard a lot of laughter.

"You're doomed, you bespectacled guy. He's very petty."

Ishida Shoya walked over to his table with a grin.

"...It's none of your business."

"cut."

Ishida Shoya snorted and ran out of the classroom without looking back. A little while later, Nishimiya Shoko came over with a notebook.

"Thank you, Hachiman."

"...Why?"

Honestly, Hikigaya had no idea what he had done that Nishimiya Shoko should be grateful for.

Immediately afterwards, Nishimiya Shoko turned to the next page.

"Hongxia told me that what you did during class was to help me."

Hikigaya stared wide-eyed in surprise at Nijika, but she seemed to have gone to the restroom and was not in her seat.

He looked away: "No, you've misunderstood. That was just an accident."

No, it's not!

Nishimiya Shoko has been paying close attention to Hachiman's behavior these past few days. In her opinion, Hachiman isn't the type to fool around in class.

Nishimiya Shoko listened attentively to Hikigaya's words, then picked up her notebook and wrote down a passage.

"I will remember Hachiman's kindness."

That's an exaggeration, and he did all this for himself... Compared to that, Hikigaya thinks Nishimiya Shoko should take better care of herself; her current situation is already terrible.

Putting aside her classmates, if even Takeuchi dislikes her, Nishimiya Shoko will definitely have a tough year before the class change.

But he didn't know how to bring it up. Should he tell Nishimiya Shoko to be careful of Takeuchi?

Or should we just let her apply for a class transfer?

These things were clearly not suitable to say now, and Hikigaya, who couldn't think of any good ideas for the time being, could only watch as Nishimiya Shoko turned and left.

Ugh, I messed up again.

Feeling a bit down, Hachiman decided to go outside for a walk and get some fresh air, but he ran into Nijika on her way back as soon as he stepped out the door.

"Hachiman, you were so cool just now!"

"No, I don't understand what you're saying." Hachiman began to play dumb.

"Hehe, I already told Shoko-chan that Hachiman did this to protect her."

"Who told you to meddle in other people's business?" Hachiman roared inwardly.
