COTE: Broadcast of Hikigaya Hachiman

Chapter 22:

　　The key point is that those who study well don't care about their life or death at all. At this moment, they have not noticed how great the loss will be to them if they lose their classmates.

　　If the number of students in each class is fixed in advance, then for Class D which wants to be promoted to Class A, the disadvantage will only become greater if the number of students decreases at the beginning of the school year.

　　Hikigaya knew this very well, and Horikita now also knew it very well.

　　If you want to get through this exam safely, this is really the only way.

　　By limiting the answering area of each person, the total score can be limited. As long as everyone's scores are not high, Ike, Sudo and Yamauchi will be able to reach the passing line stably.

　　Through email, he first informed the two backbones of the class, Hirata and Kushida, of his plan, and asked them to collect all the small test papers they had taken before, and then make a comprehensive statistics.

　　In a test paper, there will always be parts that you are good at and parts that you are not good at.

　　Hikigaya's plan is to count and integrate all the strengths and take all the mistakes and variables into account.

　　First, eliminate the uncertain factors such as those close to the passing line and Koenji , and then tell the classmates in the class through Hirata and Kushida the area each person is responsible for and the scoring points. The others all choose to give up and leave the papers blank. It doesn't matter if they can't get all the answers right. Through subsequent calculations, Hikigaya will definitely be able to put everyone in the class on the passing line.

　　If Hikigaya himself told the plan, his classmates would definitely think it was a selfish plan just to pass the exam, because his grades were not particularly good.

　　But if it is Kushida and Hirata, it will be different, because everyone is experiencing this kind of withdrawal exam for the first time. After feeling the power of unity, the backbone will serve as the leader. Except for some variables, most people are in Hikigaya's plan.

　　There is still some time before the exam, so this plan is by no means a pipe dream.

　　To be honest, Hirata himself did not agree with such a terrible plan. After all, such a large amount of calculations had to be completed by Hikigaya alone. If there were any mistakes, one student might be expelled by accident.

　　But...because of what happened last time, Hirata has always felt guilty towards Hikigaya, and he is also very clear that Hikigaya's ability is definitely not limited to Class D. So...after all, at that time, he saw through his true face that was about to be exposed and stopped himself.

　　So...he chose to believe it again.

　　When Kushida heard about this plan, she felt a little unbelievable at first, but she was very willing to help. In order to prevent her classmates from dropping out of school, she was willing to take the risk.

　　And of course, this is also conditional.

　　After this exam, no matter what the result is, she asks Hikigaya to go on a date with her.

　　At this point, Hikigaya couldn't refuse anymore.

　　Moreover, he also wanted to see what Kikyo Kushida looked like under the mask.

**

　　Hikigaya doesn't mind, but...some people in the service club don't think so.

　　Suddenly, a sharp gaze came from somewhere. Yukinoshita was staring at Hikigaya with a somewhat resentful look.

　　[Yukinoshita stood up suddenly, puffed up her chest, and said to Hikigaya in a very sarcastic tone: "Hey, I never thought that Hikigaya-kun would be so popular one day. First there was that guy named Sakayanagi, and now there is Kushida Kikyo, and there is also Horikita Suzune who is willing to listen to you. You are so lucky."]

　　[Yuigahama: "Yukinon...you..."]

　　[After being reminded by Yuigahama, Yukinoshita realized her own misconduct. After all, it was wrong for her to react like this in front of so many people. She sat down slowly, her eyes fixed on Hikigaya.]

　　[Hikigaya wanted to refute: "It's just a video... It's really just a video. How can I be so popular?"]

　　Hikigaya didn't know what he was afraid of, but if he didn't say something now, the relationship he had just established would probably fall apart in an instant.

　　[Yayama has been observing the expressions of the two people, and then he covered up for them: "Yeah, I don't know what happened, but Hikigaya is standing in front of us."]

　　[Miura put his hands on his hips and looked at the video in confusion.]

　　["It can't be a movie…"]

　　Hikigaya: "Pass! I'm not good enough to do this. I feel uncomfortable just being in front of a camera."

　　[Isshiki was also very smart and took the opportunity to continue the topic: "That's right, I've never seen you take pictures before. Are you very resistant to having your picture taken?"]

　　[Hikigaya: "I just simply think it's unnecessary and troublesome. I can't say I'm resisting it. Of course, there is another reason, which is..."]

　　[Hikigaya slowly took out his phone, and the result became clear instantly...]

　　[Because it is a flip phone, even if it can take photos, the pixels will probably be terrible. ]

　　[This kind of mobile phone can probably only transmit information and photos....]

　　[Yuigahama glanced at Hikigaya's phone, sighed helplessly, and then suddenly laughed. ]

　　[After all, her impression of Hikki has always been like this, and the man in front of her has not changed because of the video. ]

　　[Isshiki put his index finger on his lips, raised his head slightly, and looked at Hikigaya with a puzzled look.]

　　["Senior, although you are very smart, your science scores are so average. It is very dangerous in this school."]

　　[After hearing this, before Hikigaya could say anything, Yukinoshita and Yuigahama breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had won... On the contrary, several people looked at the two of them in confusion. ]

　　[Yuigahama and Yukinoshita understand that although this guy's science grades are very low, it's simply because he doesn't want to learn. In that environment, since he has already started borrowing science books, then... his grades should jump up. ]

　　[This also explains why the two of them showed such expressions. ]

　　[After all, this is something I gradually learned from the three of us getting along with each other...]

　　[And when Isshiki asked this, Hikigaya Hachiman would definitely answer like this: "Science and the like, just explode for me."]

　　[After hearing this answer, except for Yukinoshita and Yuigahama, the remaining few people in the service club all showed expressions of fear.]

　　[Sure enough, this guy is weird. ]

**

　　"Classmates, this is the result that Kushida and I recently calculated after combining the error rate and accuracy rate of everyone's previous quizzes. Our final average score is around 64 points, and the passing score is 32 points."

　　Hirata stood on the podium and posted all the results of Hikigaya's work, which had taken him several nights, on the blackboard.

　　This is the data obtained after counting the specific scores of each person. Only after making each person's scores specific can we truly grasp the accurate passing line and ensure that Sudo and others' scores will be higher than the passing line.

　　Fortunately, with Hirata and Kushida as the backbone, no one has raised any opinions for the time being, but this is not right...

　　Hikigaya sat in the corner, looking at the classroom which was so quiet that no one raised any objections, and felt that the smooth progress was unrealistic.

　　The two of them were discussing the plan on the blackboard, and no one in Class D had any objections. Then...the two of them accurately passed the area where each person needed to answer the questions on a piece of paper.

　　Ike: "Does this mean that we have to lower the average score of our entire class... Is this really a good idea?"

　　As expected, this kind of thing is bound to happen. After all, it is somewhat excessive to directly require classmates to achieve the score line that you set.

　　However, Hikigaya had anticipated this situation, and at this time, as long as Hirata followed his plan, there would be no problem.

　　But... before Hirata could say anything, Yukimura, who had always been in charge of grades in the class, stood up.

　　"The rules of every exam are clearly written, and this time is no exception. Since there is no mention of linking it to points, then... I think there is no problem with this plan."

　　Miyake Akito: "That's right... Not just this exam, but every exam in the future. If it's not directly linked to the points, then every time you lose a person who is close to the passing line, the class points will be far away from the points of other classes. For the current D class, it is definitely not a good thing."

　　Wang Meiyu hesitantly lowered her head and said, "Although Sudo was quite annoying before, seeing how hard he worked, I felt the same way... No matter... No matter from which aspect, letting him drop out of school now is a huge loss."

　　Chiaki Matsushita: "Yeah… that's it."

　　No one had any objection to the students with higher scores, and naturally no one dared to have any objection to the students with lower scores.

　　Hikigaya looked at the current Class D and just breathed a sigh of relief for a moment.

　　Although he still had a way to force the situation to the last resort, but... this development was certainly beyond his imagination.

　　"It seems that Class D is not that bad after all..."

　　Although the current D class is still far behind other classes, Horikita, your goal is getting closer and closer.

　　Hikigaya turned his head to look at Horikita beside him, but he didn't know when she had already looked at him.

　　The moment their eyes met, Horikita turned her head away as if by instinct.

　　"Hey, this is really discouraging."

　　Although he couldn't see Horikita's expression, her words reached his ears.

　　"You were the one who did this, right?"

　　"I'm not that great. If I were to complete such a huge workload by myself, I'd be considered a corporate slave."

　　Horikita turned her head again, but this time she did not avoid Hikigaya's gaze. Instead, she wanted to see through his lies.

　　This made Hikigaya feel shy. After all, he was not good at making eye contact with others. He would deliberately avoid other people's sight every time. This made it very difficult for him to do so.

　　Seeing Hikigaya turned away and no longer facing him, Horikita simply looked at the detailed plan on the blackboard again and sighed softly.

　　"Sure enough...I don't quite understand you."

　　"Um..."

　　Thinking you know the other person is a sign of arrogance, which will not only embarrass yourself, but also the other person, so...

　　There is nothing wrong with this feeling.

　　"Why do you want to stop at this level when you have such strength? You can obviously stay in a higher class."

　　"No, I'm not as powerful as you think."

　　Since the school assigned him to Class D, he had his reasons for being in Class D and his absolute flaws, which Hikigaya himself was well aware of.

　　As for being promoted to Class A, Hikigaya doesn't have such great aspirations, nor does he have any goals that he must achieve. He just wants to live a peaceful high school life.

　　No matter how much Horikita Suzune wants him to help her get promoted to Class A, it will never happen since Hikigaya has no such idea.

　　However, Horikita is not without growth. As long as Hikigaya can stay in this class, the benefits will definitely outweigh the disadvantages in the long run.

　　Maybe one day he will change his mind.

　　[Koenji still held his head with both hands, almost lying flat on his back while watching the video in front of him.]

　　[Although he doesn't appear in many videos, every time he appears in the video, he only focuses on himself. After all... he is really beautiful. ]

　　[In addition to this time, he was watching this student who had never appeared in Class D. Although he didn't know what the video was about,... through understanding this period of time, he could judge that it was definitely not man-made, that is to say... it could only be a parallel universe caused by unnatural phenomena. ]

　　["But, they are really beautiful. It seems that this D class is much more beautiful than the current D class."]

　　[Although no one wants to admit it, this is the truth. Even Sudo, who usually has a bad temper, can't help but feel envious when he sees himself being so gentle in the video.]

　　[It can be said that the boy who had never appeared before actually changed his personality. ]

　　[Kikyou Kushida: "I actually like Class D more when it's like that, but I believe that as long as we want to change, we can definitely become like that."]

　　[Under Kushida's words of encouragement, the morale of Class D instantly increased a lot, and Horikita Suzune, who was outside the video, of course, envied herself in the video. ]

　　[She was very clear that although her brother's attitude towards her did not change much in the video, she could still see the subtle changes. It was obvious that her brother liked her more when she was like that.]

　　[Horikita Suzune, it's hard not to envy myself. ]

　　[Like Koenji, Ayanokouji also discovered through long-term observation that this scene was definitely not man-made. This is simply a parallel universe. Although he doesn't know why he disappeared in that world, it is obvious that the person he should pay attention to now is the boy named Hikigaya Hachiman. ]

　　[Although I am gone, it is not without some reference value for him. He can use the video to figure out each person's actual situation, personality, and direction of development. For Ayanokouji, it will be more convenient to use each other in the future. ]

**

　　Since most people agree with the plan proposed by Hirata and Kushida, and this is the only way for Hikigaya to get everyone in the class to pass smoothly, so from a certain perspective, it can be considered a good result.

　　The students looked at the notes distributed by Kikyo Kushida. Since everyone excels in different areas, the areas they are responsible for are also different. In the last two weeks before the exam, they must try their best to achieve this goal.

　　Obviously, Horikita's study session plan would also need to be adjusted accordingly.

　　Although they already knew the plan, it was still a little surprising when the students saw the areas they were responsible for.

　　There is actually someone who knows this much about them. How long does it take?

　　Yeah... How much time would it take? Since the first day of school, Hikigaya has been using all his free time to observe the actions, personalities, and even habits of everyone in the class, and then analyze their inner qualities based on the tone of their conversations, and then combine the test papers to create the most reasonable plan.

　　When he came to Hikigaya, Kushida just winked at Hikigaya gently, then showed a big smile, and finally... put the note on his desk.

　　"that..."

　　"Koenji, do you have a problem?"

　　Hirata looked at the blond man in front of him with some worry. After all, the only variable in the class was him.

　　He was uncontrollable, and everyone in the class knew that.

　　"I said, is it really okay for me to get full marks?"

　　Koenji turned around and ignored Hirata, but looked in the direction of Kushida and Hikigaya, or rather...just looked at Hikigaya.

　　"After all, no one can affect your beauty, right..."

　　Hikigaya looked at Kushida, and Kushida quickly responded by nodding.

　　"Oh? Interesting..."
