COTE: Broadcast of Hikigaya Hachiman

Chapter 23:

　　Koenji casually touched his golden hair, then took out his treasured mirror and said:

　　"Your choice is correct."

　　Hikigaya knew very well that those words were directed at himself.

　　Although in everyone's eyes, he is the biggest variable, but in Hikigaya's opinion, he is the most stable.

　　After all, no matter what the test questions are, koenji will just do whatever it wants and get full marks.

　　In the few days before the exam, Sudo completely put basketball aside and spent all his time studying.

　　During this period of time together, he realized that although the girl in front of him was a bit ruthless, she also had some touching qualities.

　　Naturally, Horikita recognized Sudo's transformation. After all, the person who was most in danger of passing the qualification line was Sudo. Even for Yamauchi and Ike, there would be no problems as long as the plan went smoothly. However, Sudo might not even be able to meet the standards in the area he was responsible for.

　　If one person fails to meet the standard, the overall score will be lowered. Generally speaking, he is still in a very dangerous situation. Fortunately, his attitude has changed everyone's impression of him and they are willing to help him.

**

　　[Sudou: "I look like this in the video. No matter how many times I watch it, it's still fascinating."]

　　[Ike "Speaking of which, Sudo, didn't you get into some big trouble before? Why didn't it happen this time? Is it because your personality has become gentler?"]

　　[Sudo shook his head. At that time, he had a little conflict with Ryuuen, and then he was accused by Class C and brought to the meeting room for trial. If it weren't for Ayanokouji, Horikita and Sakura, he would have definitely gotten into big trouble at that time. However... because of his temper, he didn't directly have a conflict with Ryuuen, so... will the next direction change? ]

　　[Even he couldn't make up his mind about this. After all, in his eyes, Ryuen from Class C had always been a lunatic.]

　　["However, this time, Kushida didn't ask his senior for reference test questions. Otherwise, he would have passed the test more stably."]

　　[Sudou's words instantly drew the class's attention to Kushida Kikyo. That's right... everyone's impression was that the study session at that time did not go smoothly, and there was no such amazing plan made by Hikigaya. It was only on the day before the exam that they barely passed the exam by using the test questions given by Kushida.]

　　[But, this time... Kushida didn't even take any action...]

　　[Ike: "Kushida, are you influenced by Hikigaya and believe in his plan?"]

　　[Kushida glanced at Ayanokouji meaningfully, then smiled like an angel: "That should be the case, and it's not the last day yet, maybe I'll discover this blind spot by then."]

　　[Kushida's words were undoubtedly a lie to them. After all, Kushida and Ayanokouji had received the test paper together a few days before the exam. However, according to Ayanokouji's plan, he was going to hand it over to his classmates the day before the exam. Now, due to Ayanokouji's disappearance and Hikigaya's appearance, the plan has changed.]

　　[Fortunately, no one paid attention to this. Instead, they said to Hikigaya in front of them with some admiration...]

　　[Yukimura: "This guy is really amazing. Although it is smart to rely on previous years' exam questions to pass the exam, in comparison, this method of changing the direction of an entire class by one person requires such a large amount of calculations. I can't imagine how he did it."]

　　[Wang Meiyu: "Moreover... he obviously doesn't have much in common with us, but he knows us so well, as if... he knows all about our past."]

　　[After hearing Wang Meiyu's words, most of the students in the class suddenly became quiet. Before coming to this school, most of them had a past that they couldn't tell anyone about, whether it was Hirata Yosuke or Kushida Kikyo. And what Wang Meiyu said... he could see through their past, so does that mean that everything that happened to them in the past has been discovered by Hikigaya? ]

　　[Of course, these are just their imaginations. Hikigaya himself is not that powerful. If he wants to know the other person's past by guessing, it is simply mind reading.]

　　[However, that silver-haired fairy might be able to do it. ]

**

　　The day of the exam is coming soon, and Hikigaya's plan will soon be proven successful through this exam.

　　Kushida Kikyo didn't really want to follow Hikigaya's plan, but she was helpless because the area that each person was responsible for was already determined, and if she answered all the questions correctly, she would not be able to increase the class's total score and thus lower the class average. If she deliberately scored low, she would be in danger of being expelled. And if she deliberately filled in other areas, she would only need to look at the scores afterwards to know who was causing trouble and instantly find the traitor in the class.

　　It can be said that even the traitor in the class will be helpless in this exam. If he is exposed so early, then...his three years will be plunged into endless darkness.

　　This is absolutely harmful rather than beneficial to Kikyo Kushida.

　　Moreover, her only target now is Horikita Suzune, and as for Hikigaya Hachiman, she would like to take him for herself even more.

　　With everyone's normal performance, the test results were soon posted on the classroom blackboard.

　　Koenji 100 points

　　Wang Meiyu 65 points

　　Yukimura Teruhiko 65 points

　　Miyake Akito 60 points

　　Horikita Suzune 60 minutes

　　Kushida Kikyo 50 minutes

　　Hikigaya Hachiman 37 points

　　......

　　Ike Kanji 28 points

　　Ken Sudo 24 points

　　The students all looked at their scores with some suspicion and anxiety. Of course, the most anxious one was Sudo, who was at the bottom.

　　Although everyone has seen his efforts during this period, even so...it can only go this far.

　　After all, his previous foundation was just like that of an elementary school student. He was able to get 24 points, and it was entirely thanks to Horikita's tutoring and the regional system proposed by Hikigaya that Sudo was able to raise this score in a short period of time.

　　Otherwise...it might be even lower.

　　[Ike: "It seems that Kushida didn't ask the senior for the exam paper from previous years."]

　　[Yamauchi: "Yeah, looking at this score, I feel a little panicked... I don't think Chabashira-sensei will want to beat us to death when he sees this score."]

　　[Sudou: "I just hope I won't fall short of that one point again."]

　　[Kikyou Kushida: "No, after all, everyone is following Hikigaya's plan. We can see how powerful he is, right?"]

　　[Sudo put his hands together and prayed like he was praying to Buddha: "I hope so, I hope so, I hope so!"]

　　"Is this all that can be done?"

　　Hikigaya looked at the blackboard in front of him. The result was already determined. All he had to do next was to tally up all the scores and calculate the average, and then he would know the passing score.

　　Just as Hikigaya was thinking this, the loud sound of high heels was heard outside the corridor.

　　"Everyone take your seats."

　　As usual, she stood on the podium with his hands folded across his chest, expressionless.

　　Kushida raised his hand and asked impatiently:

　　"Teacher, is there anyone in our class dropping out?"

　　Chabashira glanced at Kushida lightly, then fixed his eyes on the blackboard.

　　"Your average score is 42. After dividing the average by 2, the passing score is 21."

　　"Congratulations, no one dropped out of the exam this time."

　　Chabashira put down the pen in his hand, but cheers from Ikesudo and Yamauchi could be heard in the classroom.

　　Hirata also breathed a sigh of relief. Not only him, but everyone in the class felt that it was difficult to accomplish when they heard the plan. However, when it actually succeeded, they felt it was incredible.

　　No one was deliberately making trouble, and everyone was acting according to the plan.

　　Chabashira stood on the podium, looked at the cheering Sudo and the others, closed his eyes, and clapped his hands slowly.

　　The sound was not loud, but it quickly quieted down the students in the class.

　　"Although I don't know how you came up with this idea, nor how you implemented it, but it is obvious that you all completed the exam smoothly and did not let any students drop out. Obviously, this is the right choice, but..."

　　"This is just the beginning. The school will definitely have more cruel rules next time. You should understand that."

　　Having said this, Chabashira looked at Hikigaya meaningfully, and Horikita, who had been paying attention to Chabashira's gaze, followed her gaze and shifted her gaze to Hikigaya beside her.

　　"I've been discovered..."

　　Before Chabashira could continue, Horikita stood up with a serious face and said:

　　"Next time, we will never use this method again. We will use our own strength to make all the students in the class reach the passing line."

　　Horikita's handsome appearance, as if he had his own BUFF, instantly attracted the attention of Yamauchi Ike, Sudo and the other two.

　　"By the way, it's really cool to say that."

　　After hearing what Horikita said, Hirata also stood up and echoed:

　　"Yes, teacher. Next time, we will definitely pass the exam together as a class."

　　'What a wonderful vision.'

　　Chabashira just continued to look at them, then gave a playful smile.

　　"To be honest, I'm really surprised that you would make such a choice..."

　　"Well, the class meeting ends here."

　　With the departure of Ms. Chabashira, the atmosphere in the class became more fanatical. Although the class points did not increase dramatically in this exam, after all, the total score was not that good, but because they were in Class D, they would always be at the bottom no matter how they took the exam, so the impact was not that big.

　　On the contrary, Sudo ,Yamauchi and Ike successfully passed the passing line, which increased their overall personal points significantly.

　　Anyway...it's fine just like this, spend three years simply and peacefully.

　　[Sakura Airi: "Did everyone pass the test? In different ways... It's... It's incredible."]

　　[Shinohara: "Yes, although the class points increased this time are definitely not as much as the ones we have now, but because we already have 97 cp, no matter what, we have already narrowed the gap with Class C to a certain extent."]

　　[Yukimura: "No, no, you underestimate Class C led by Ryuuen. His horrible way of doing things will probably catch up with Class B soon."]

　　Hirata: "What Yukimura said is right. Whether it is Class B or Class C, there is a huge gap between us. Now we should take care of ourselves first, and then we can narrow the gap with them."

　　[Everyone knows what Hirata said, but in this school where strength is everything, if we continue like this, I'm afraid the distance will only get farther and farther.]

**

　　Outside the corridor, the leaders of the two factions of Class A, Sakayanagi and Katsuragi, stood together unexpectedly.

　　Class A 1004cp

　　Class B 663cp

　　Class C 492cp

　　Class D 140cp

　　Katsuragi folded his arms across his chest and analyzed the grade and class point table in front of him with a serious look on his face.

　　"Class C's points have gone up. It must be Ryuen's doing again. We need to be careful of this man."

　　On the contrary, Sakayanagi on the side just glanced at it expressionlessly, as if he was no longer interested and no one knew what he was thinking.

　　In Katsuragi's heart, although the two have different ideas, since they are both members of Class A, they must make plans for the future of Class A.

　　For Sakayanagi, she just felt that all of this was so boring. No matter how strong the lower classes were, they could never defeat her. This was why she was in Class A.

　　If I have to say one thing that interests me, it would be that I have become his one and only friend.

　　She turned around, used a crutch to support her body which seemed about to fall down at any time, and then limped towards the classroom.

　　"So boring…"

　　At the same time, Hikigaya was sitting in the corner of the classroom, looking at the latest class points on his phone.

　　"Our class only has 140 class points? But this is really the limit for now."

　　Hikigaya knew very well how much effort everyone had put in to get to this point. Compared to the initial situation, things have gotten much better now. However, for Horikita who was standing next to him, this was probably still a very difficult result to accept.

　　At this moment, Horikita seemed to be muttering quietly...

　　"Class A has 1004cp... even Class C has 492cp..."

　　Although there is a huge gap, there is no trace of giving up on Horikita's face. Instead, she is more determined to be promoted to Class A.

　　"What are you looking at me for?"

　　After hearing Horikita's warning words, Hikigaya realized that he had been distracted and his eyes were fixed on her face.

　　I don't know if it's an illusion, but Hikigaya always feels that Horikita's cheeks are a little red, as if they were illuminated by the sunset.

　　Hikigaya turned around, lowered his head, and said calmly:

　　"To be honest, it's a bit realistic to set Class A as our goal. The gap between us and them is almost ten times as much..."

　　"I won't give up!"

　　"As expected, this guy will definitely say that... She is such a horrible brother complex, going to such lengths for her brother."
