Hachiman’s Classroom of Strength’s Supremacy

Chapter 46: Destroying Surveillance, 50 Points Deducted from Class 1-D!

1. This is a school funded by the government, with financial allocations to ensure the money is spent effectively.

2. From senior students in clubs, I learned that this school has many exams, and the content varies. The penalties for failing are severe, including but not limited to expulsion.

3. Many senior students have been expelled. The second and third-year students have eight classes in total, but none of them have 40 students.

These are the rumors Horikita Suzune wants Kushida to spread.

She wants Kushida to release these rumors.

But…

“…” Kushida.

Kushida carefully observed the content of the three rumors.

Then she quickly glanced in one direction.

There, sitting and packing up his bag slowly, was the dead-eyed boy who hadn’t left yet.

That was Hikigaya Hachiman.

Now, there were only the three of them left in the classroom.

.

.

.

Kushida initially thought that Horikita Suzune had finally opened up and let her get close, and she should seize the opportunity to cut off any chance Horikita might mention her dark past.

But now, she suddenly looked toward Hachiman.

Because…

Horikita had asked her to spread a rumor, which was a somewhat troublesome task.

But the content of the rumors wasn’t excessive.

Yet, she felt that the content was oddly familiar.

Because, on the day of enrollment, she met Hikigaya Hachiman at the dorm, and he had said similar things to her. Then the two of them went to investigate the other grades together.

They visited the first floors of the teaching buildings of the three grades.

And she remembered meeting the student council president, Horikita Suzune, and the secretary, Tachibana Akane, back then.

However…

At that time, Hachiman hadn’t mentioned anything else related to the school, but these three pieces of information felt like something Hachiman had discovered.

But…

Why was Hachiman, who knew all this information, having it passed on through Horikita’s mouth?

Didn’t they have a bad relationship?

When did they start secretly getting along like this?

And had Horikita said anything bad about Kushida to him?

“Um…” Kushida seemed to be gathering her emotions, and her already sweet voice became even more pleasant. “Hachiman-kun~”

“…” Hachiman.

Kushida was an old acquaintance to Hachiman, and with her acting coquettishly, he immediately understood.

Kushida was now questioning his presence.

“Horikita seems to have noticed some other information,” Hachiman said. “She caught me and then I had no choice but to help.”

Oh.

I see.

Hachiman was being forced by Horikita.

This answer was barely acceptable.

After all, Horikita Suzune was such a tough person, completely unable to understand normal human interaction. Like how she had waited outside his door in the morning to walk to school together, but he treated her as if she were air.

And it was the third time.

As for Hachiman, although he was difficult, he was the kind of person who couldn’t resist others.

So, it was understandable that things had turned out this way.

Kushida kept her smile.

After all, what mattered now was to win Horikita Suzune’s favor and become her friend first.

Although asking her to spread rumors made people uneasy.

But there was nothing wrong with the content of the rumors Horikita prepared. If she were asked to say bad things about someone, then she would reconsider if it was worth it, as it would ruin her image.

But as for these contents, they were fine.

And she also realized that the nature of this rumor was good.

It was probably meant to make the students take this school more seriously.

As someone who went to explore the school with Hachiman on the first day, she also found the school’s actions strange. Why did they treat them so well?

Did they really deserve it?

After all…

Although she thought her former classmates in middle school were outrageous, the students in this class were even more frightening.

Some of them were people she didn’t even want to consider as “friends.”

So the school’s uniform treatment of everyone seemed strange, no matter how she thought about it.

.

.

.

Kushida probably really wanted to win Horikita’s favor, so she started to take action right in front of the two of them.

Her actions were skillful.

First, she called a girl and talked about how an older student had flirted with her and then told her that she should take things seriously at school. But when asked further, the older student refused to speak.

This made her feel confused. Was the older student hiding something?

Then, she sent a message to another classmate.

She started setting the tone.

And soon…

Changes appeared in Class D’s group chat, with students already discussing such things.

Like how some of the senior students’ eight classes didn’t have the full 40 students per class.

The school’s finances were in trouble, and they were expelling students to cut costs.

Hmm.

Once the rumor spread, it became distorted in a scary way.

But the effect was quite good.

The more absurd it was, the more attention it could attract.

So, was there a way to confirm this?

Yes.

Like the student, Sudo Ken, who was late in the morning.

He joined the basketball club and became a starting player. He was late because he had been practicing and was excited.

But this was also an opportunity to interact with students from other classes and upper grades.

“Eh? You want me to ask the upperclassmen?”

“They’re all watching me, jealous that I got selected as a regular.”

That was Sudo’s response.

Alright.

This guy is hopeless.

But—

“Upperclassmen, huh?”

“Yesterday, I passed by the soccer club and was considering whether to join. I was in the soccer club back in middle school.”

“I’ll go ask.”

That was the gentle and reliable Hirata.

Before long—

The dependable Hirata returned with information.

The second and third years also had 160 students when they entered. But now, the second years had only 112 students left, while the third years had 133.

However, he had to pay a price—
The vice-captain of the soccer club wanted him to join.

Previously, Hachiman had already noticed on the school forum that upperclassmen were recruiting freshmen to join clubs.

Performing well could even earn points as a reward.

Clearly, the school likely allocated funds to the clubs, and the clubs had to meet certain requirements in return.

So, they needed new members, and those members had to perform well.

And since Hirata had been a core player in his middle school soccer club, they immediately pulled him in.

This also meant that clubs might be a way to earn points.

However, since the upperclass clubs had already been exploited due to Arisu, if they kept pushing, the upperclassmen might become wary.

It wouldn’t be so easy to deceive them again.

Besides—

They should finish the task they received from Chabashira-sensei first.

After all, it was ten million, wasn’t it?

He was still just a student, yet he was already working on big projects.

Hikigaya Hachiman was in high spirits.
