The Great Teacher's Skill-First Classroom

She's a genuine straight woman.

So she was the first girl he knew who didn't look at him strangely today.

but.

Hachiman looked at her and thought of something.

"When you met your brother at the vending machine before, what was the argument between you and him about?" Hachiman asked.

This Horikita Suzune is just Horikita's sister.

She is the younger sister of the student council president, Horikita Manabu.

Generally speaking, nepotism is a good thing that can be used to get things done in a back door, but if it is not used properly, it will become a weakness.

For example, although the relationship with the person with power is brother and sister, the greater the brother's power and authority, but she has to be more careful.Otherwise, being taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives may bring trouble to my brother. At the same time, I will also be involved, which will make me very distressed.

And this is where Hachiman sometimes needs assistance.

She even had to hide the fact that she was Horikita Manabu's sister to avoid being taken advantage of.

Therefore, the current identity of the student union president is just a useless thing for the time being.

but.

What Hachiman wanted to confirm was that her weakness was revealed during the previous fight with Sudou.

She is just a younger sister in front of her brother.

A total coward.

If this is not resolved, she will be of no use in many cases.

Because even if she concealed her relationship with the student council president as a sibling, she might still have to appear at student council events.

If I behaved strangely at that time, it would attract some people's attention.

Hachiman's class already had enough bombs and didn't want to detonate another one.

So today he decided to be a bomb disposal expert.

in this way.

Even if she thought he was trying to pry into her heart, he had to do it. "If you hate it, then you don't have to answer."

"...Let me think about it." Horikita Suzune didn't refuse. Rather...she actually needed someone to talk to, "...brother, he——"

She spoke slowly, "My brother hates me. Or rather, he doesn't take me seriously..."

Oh.

That's it.

This is the relationship between you siblings.

Ok.

Ok?

but.

What the hell is this? Are you sure you know the truth?

Isn’t your brother a sister-con?

Hikigaya-san looks surprised.

Because your brother spent 100 million points to give you lessons, and he even received a transfer of 10 points.

And the first thing you say is... your brother hates you? And doesn't care about you?

"My existence will lower everyone's evaluation of my brother, that's all." Horikita Suzune seemed to have sentenced herself to death.

So when she was seen by the student council president, did she immediately feel that she was incompetent?

Then he looked so cowardly.

Because I feel I am weak.

So is Horikita Suzune really weak?

This is a question that needs to be considered. If we simply use academic performance, ability, and athleticism as the criteria, her panel is not bad.

But Hachiman also knew that this guy had always insisted on his own path.

For example, bring your own lunch every day.

This earned him praise.

His future goal is to be a househusband, so he has a good impression of people who can cook.

And this guy is a bookworm, he studies 10 hours a day.

Hachiman had been to her dormitory and saw a schedule posted on her wall.

This is roughly the arrangement.

In addition to the study time in the classroom every day, she has to make up for an extra 4 hours.

That means you have to study for 10 hours a day!

And it happens day after day.

Being able to stick with it, your perseverance is also worth seeing.

Today, Sakayanagi had originally inspired Hikigaya to recall her junior high school days, which had made her a bit sentimental. But now, she suddenly felt that she might be able to help Horikita Suzune.

"Horikita, what exactly do you want to do? Or rather, what do you want your brother to do?"

Hachiman felt that Horikita Suzune had returned to being Horikita's younger sister, and had become extremely cowardly after talking about her brother.

As a brother himself, Hikigaya-san looked over.

"You asked me what I wanted to do..."

However, Horikita suddenly clenched one hand into a fist, "I... I want my brother to recognize me..."

"Since childhood, my brother has always been there. No matter what I tried to do, he'd already accomplished it before me, making it impossible for me not to feel inferior. And because of this, I knew that I wasn't in that person's field of vision. So, I wanted him to look at me, to acknowledge me. I wanted to see what was in front of that person, my brother's sight."

"Is that so... In other words, you are imitating his way of life." Hachiman said.

Rather, he now had access to Horikita Suzune's inner world.

It turns out that this seemingly cold woman is so simple at heart.

She is like many people who have a capable older sister and a capable younger sister. Because of this comparison, she has no place to stand.

Then, I envy them and want to be as powerful as my sisters.

but.

Do I really have to be that smart? Do I really have to be that outstanding? Is it so difficult to acknowledge that I can't compare to them?

Why force yourself to complete a mission that is almost impossible to accomplish?

So your brother can be a Nobel Prize winner, but no one forces you to win a Nobel Prize too.

And human nature is strange.

You envy others, and perhaps others are also envious of you, but you don’t realize it. However, as for envying rich people, rich people will definitely not envy poor people.

But Horikita Suzune is a little different.

She wanted this herself, she wanted to be like her outstanding brother Horikita Manabu.

It's her choice.

It's not someone else's request.

but.

"Horikita... you're all alone, aren't you? Your brother is quite popular and has many friends. If I hadn't forced you to get in touch with Kushida, you wouldn't have any friends." Hachiman crossed his arms. "You can't even learn that."

"……what?"

"Hikigaya, are you here to argue with me?!"

Horikita Suzune was choked by Hachiman. "I just like being alone, not lonely. I've liked being alone since elementary school, no, kindergarten, but I don't feel lonely, I just look a little lonely."

Ok.

Hachiman had already heard this.

And he thought about it.

Is it really bad to be alone?

But that is for the strong ones. The strong ones can survive alone, while the weak ones need to survive in groups.

but.

He didn't completely deny Horikita Suzune.

because.

Horikita Suzune is not closing her heart, but she does not want to waste her time getting along with others, or rather, she does not think that getting along with others can bring her anything.

and so.

She won't feel anxious because she has no friends.

Nor will you feel ashamed of it.

You won’t even feel excluded or bullied.

because.

She is actually enjoying her own world.

She feels happy.

Since she feels happy, then why not?

and so.

Lonely is not the right word to describe her. Loneliness is the judgment that outsiders make on others, but why doesn’t she feel it herself?

However, this world is not absolutely gentle.

Hachiman had a feeling that Horikita Suzune had definitely come to the wrong school, because as she gradually got to know the essence of this school, she felt that her type was not suitable to survive here.

but.

"I'm not arguing. I'm saying that you might have a slight discrepancy," Hachiman said. "You and your brother are two different people, starting with your personality. He has a lot of friends, don't you? Don't you want to be exactly like him?"

"...Hikigaya, please don't misinterpret my meaning. I just hope I can..."

"Do you want to be like him?" However, Hachiman interrupted her.

"After all, being a brother has always been my goal, so I once hoped to be like him. But if you ask me whether I want to be like him... that..." Her expression became confused. "I'm not sure."

This makes it very obvious.

Horikita Suzune has actually gone astray.

"Trying to be like your target is problematic. You can treat him as a target, but there's no need to follow the same path as him. Because you are you, not Horikita Manabu. And Horikita Manabu doesn't have a name called Horikita Suzune."

"..." Horikita Suzune suddenly became much weaker. Following in her brother's footsteps, she entered the same junior high school and the same high school. Now, she had no idea what she was doing. "So... you haven't thought about what kind of person you want to be?"

"Well..." Hachiman raised his head slightly, "I want to be a househusband."

"You don't have to think about making money, just stay at home and do housework."

“And then someone will support me.”

Noticing Horikita Suzune's strange look, Hachiman knew that his idea was a little difficult for ordinary people to understand, so he added, "This is my idea. If you don't want to support me, then you have no right to criticize me."

"..." Horikita.

"...In short, although I haven't thought about what kind of person I want to become, the only thing I know now is that I want my brother to recognize me." Horikita didn't respond to his adoptive mother's words, but fell into her own thoughts, "But my brother wouldn't recognize me as I am now."

"In order to gain my brother's approval, I had no choice but to move up to Class A. However, I knew that I couldn't accomplish this by myself."

"Besides, I'm still very weak right now," Horikita Suzune said. "And my brother also hopes that I will learn from you."

"Then……"

She mumbled, as if it was difficult to speak.
