Hachiman’s Classroom of Strength’s Supremacy

Chapter 016: The Student Council President is the Greatest Philanthropist!

Horikita’s little sister completely doesn’t understand human emotions.

“Since that’s the case…” Horikita Suzune hurriedly explained, “I’ll be promoted to Class A soon, and if that happens…”

But this explanation was nothing like her usual cold and composed demeanor from earlier. Instead, she seemed more like a frightened little rabbit, explaining weakly, her face pale.

She was different from the others. Since yesterday’s entrance, she had been carefully observing the school, but she still knew too little.

But… if she were to be expelled like this…

She couldn’t accept it.

“Impossible, this possibility doesn’t exist.”

But her older brother, Horikita Manabu, coldly interrupted her and didn’t even turn his head as he spoke. “You can’t do it.”

“I will definitely do it!”

Horikita Suzune lowered her head, a bit discouraged, but still said stubbornly.

“What a disobedient little sister.”

Horikita Manabu slowly turned his head, his cold gaze fixed on her.

And now, Hachiman could finally see Horikita Manabu’s face. He had glasses, a tall nose bridge, a cold yet handsome face, and a voice that was both firm and magnetic.

Without a doubt, it was the student council president who had led the opening ceremony.

Though they were siblings, their personalities were completely different.

Horikita Manabu’s coldness was innate, a part of his natural aura.

However, Horikita Suzune, though she appeared cold in class, now seemed quite fragile.

She displayed feelings of discouragement and inferiority, even acting submissive in front of her older brother. She seemed to both want to prove herself and yet couldn’t even find the words to argue back.

And then, there was her statement, “I came here to follow in my brother’s footsteps.”

So, was it true?

Horikita Suzune, are you imitating your brother?

How nice.

Hachiman also wished his little sister would treat him like an idol.

But Komachi…

“Eh? Onii-chan, you’re making Komachi worried! You’re making Komachi worry about whether Onii-chan will find a job in the future.”

“Komachi is under a lot of pressure, because if Onii-chan ends up as a NEET, does that mean the responsibility of supporting Onii-chan will fall on Komachi?”

“Onii-chan, you better go work, seriously.”

“…”

Instead, Komachi would end up worrying about him.

Hachiman reflected on this.

But—

Right now, his stomach was so full, it felt horrible.

So he walked toward the vending machine.

Meanwhile, the Horikita siblings were still arguing, but it had already escalated into a heated argument.

“Such a disobedient little sister!”

Horikita Manabu had given up on talking to his sister.

Instead, he was prepared to take action.

He raised his right hand, as if preparing to slap his disobedient sister.

Horikita Suzune noticed what her brother was about to do, but she was backed up against the wall, looking timid.

And Hachiman, continuing to walk toward the vending machine, paid no attention to the siblings’ confrontation.

The footsteps made sounds, especially since the school provided student leather shoes, so the sound of footsteps wasn’t small.

It was enough to get the attention of the Horikita siblings.

“Hikigaya-kun…” Horikita Suzune, who was waiting to be punished by her older brother, noticed a student walking towards them.

In fact, Hikigaya-kun was very easy to recognize.

His dead fish eyes and general lack of interest in most things had made an impression on her.

Yes.

Although she appeared weak, Horikita Suzune was also making her own efforts.

After being told about the three-year boarding system and that every student would receive 100,000 points on their student ID, she went shopping, gathering supplies, using the points for purchases, and checking the prices.

She also discovered that the school would provide emergency supplies for students who didn’t have points.

She felt like the school was a bit strange.

So, she was gathering information.

And in the evening, she had even spoken with this Hikigaya-kun.

And now… he had seen her… in her timid state.

It seemed like Horikita Suzune felt some embarrassment.

Hachiman glanced at her, then walked directly behind Horikita Manabu.

“…” It seemed like Horikita Manabu’s movements stopped. He lowered his hand, changing his motion midway to push up his glasses.

The gesture looked rather elegant.

“What are your thoughts?” Horikita Manabu asked. “Or have you already taken a picture or recorded something?”

“If it was a photo, there would have been a flash. But there wasn’t any flash just now. Though, I can’t be sure if you used some points to ask the homeroom teacher to disable the flash function.”

“So, how much would you ask for as a hush money?” Horikita Manabu asked.

Yes.

To him, as the outstanding student council president, and being a student of Class A in the third year, his sister being placed in the worst class, Class D, was a matter that could potentially be used against him or his class.

So, he needed to silence the person.

Horikita Manabu realized he had made a miscalculation.

He had originally thought this area was secluded, but now, looking at it… it wasn’t that hidden.

“Hmm?” Hachiman looked at him with a bit of surprise.

“Heh…” Horikita Manabu laughed. “Or are your intentions quite big? Indeed, you noticed the rules of this school on the very first day. You must have quite an appetite.”

“But 500,000. That’s the most I can offer as hush money,” Horikita Manabu said. “Don’t forget my identity—I’m the student council president.”

“Are you sure you want to go against the student council president?”

“-0-”

Hachiman’s expression probably looked like this.

“Student council president, do you think I recorded or took a photo just now, and now I’m purposely here to threaten you?” Hachiman said.

“Isn’t that the case? You stood over there for a while, and only came over when I raised my hand,” Horikita Manabu replied.

Of course not.

Hachiman wasn’t that dark-hearted.

But—

So this is how low you can go.

If he had indeed recorded something earlier, it would have been worth 500,000 yen.

Thanks to the student council president’s personal example, Hachiman felt the extent to which this school was willing to tolerate.

And he also realized that the 500,000 yen from the student council president seemed easier to earn than the 200,000 yen from Chabashira-sensei.
