Hachiman’s Classroom of Strength’s Supremacy

Chapter 184: Chabashira’s Maid Outfit

The usual place.

Hikigaya made his way to the secret location where Kushida had once kicked the railing.

It was because he found that not only Kushida went there, that he had stopped her from continuing to visit.

Otherwise,

Kushida might have been discovered for who she really was.

With her rather naïve and foolish actions, she would surely get caught and blackmailed.

She might end up becoming a traitor planted by another class.

However,

Now that their class had successfully moved up, Kushida’s role had become less important.

As he thought about all this, Hikigaya noticed a woman in office attire standing by the railing.

Her left hand rested on the railing, her eyes staring deeply ahead.

She wore high heels.

From this angle, he could only see her profile.

Her pale and delicate face was expressionless, giving off a serious, no-nonsense vibe.

Her long black hair was tied into a ponytail with a blue hairband, looking extremely neat and professional.

Hmm.

Undeniably, Chabashira-sensei was beautiful.

Of course, this was from the perspective of the opposite sex.

If seen simply as a student, this teacher could actually be quite troublesome.

Because despite being a teacher, she seemed even more obsessed with Class A than the students were.

“Yo, Hikigaya, you’re here,” Chabashira probably heard his footsteps and slightly turned around.

A smile like a cat’s curved mouth appeared on her face.

She seemed to be in a good mood.

“I was just at the class celebration party,” Hachiman said.

“Mm,” Chabashira nodded.

“Then, this is for you.”

As she spoke, she took a points card out of her pocket. “This is the price of our agreement.”

“You’ve accomplished the goal. Our class has moved from D class to A class, so as per our agreement, I’m giving you the 10 million points.”

“Since I can’t leave the school, I’ll give it to you in points,” Chabashira explained. Having always been the teacher of Class D, she didn’t have many personal points. However, she had savings and, as the homeroom teacher, couldn’t easily leave the school. Even though she had a bank book, she couldn’t directly withdraw the money.

So, she could only use points for the transaction, getting an equivalent points card from the school’s chairman.

“Well then,” Hachiman didn’t immediately take the points card. Instead, he said, “Chabashira-sensei, do you think the current result is satisfactory?”

“Our class might have lucked our way up, but we won’t be able to maintain A class for long,” Hachiman said.

“I know that,” Chabashira said. “All I wanted was for Class D to be promoted to A class.”

It seemed that Chabashira-sensei had come to terms with it.

“Then, can I make a slightly excessive request, Sensei?” Hachiman asked again.

“Mm?” Chabashira was in a good mood. “What request, that you would call excessive?”

“Although the promotion was very short,” Hachiman said, “I want to have a memento, something that would remind me of this time when I leave the school.”

“So,” Hachiman said, “Chabashira-sensei, I’d like you to take a photo.”

“A photo?”

“Mm.” Hachiman nodded. “Don’t worry, the photo will be perfectly proper.”

“I see.”

Chabashira nodded, not particularly resistant.

If anything, it seemed like Hikigaya had already fulfilled her wish.

With this batch of students finished, she already had some ideas. She wanted to leave the school, step outside, and meet up with her former classmates.

Among them, she especially wanted to meet Hiratsuka-sensei.

She had been stuck in the past, but now, she was satisfied and ready to move forward.

“As for the content of the photo, I just want Sensei to give me a contrast,” Hachiman said. “Sensei is usually quite cold.”

“I want to see you looking different from usual.”

Since this class promotion had been too easy, almost like riding on the coattails of Nagumo, Hachiman didn’t feel it was much of a challenge.

Thus,

Even though they had achieved the monumental feat of promoting since the school’s founding, there was no real keepsake.

So, he decided to set a task for Chabashira-sensei, who had been assigning him tasks all along.

Besides,

Since Chabashira-sensei had fulfilled her wish, she probably wouldn’t continue as a teacher.

So, letting her experience more wasn’t a bad thing.

Chabashira recorded it down.

Although she didn’t fully understand what he meant by contrast, she figured Hoshinomiya would understand.

So, she planned to consult with her.

.

.

.

Hachiman didn’t force Chabashira to hand it over immediately, giving her two days to prepare. The weekend was just around the corner.

So, he gave Chabashira plenty of time.

After leaving Chabashira, he headed to Horikita Suzune’s dorm.

However, although Horikita had wanted to make a special meal, she had to go shopping for ingredients, so her dorm was empty. Hachiman ended up wasting some time.

It wasn’t until two hours later, when he went back to Horikita’s room, that she was finally inside.

“Here’s the points card from Chabashira-sensei.”

Hachiman had enjoyed Horikita’s little meal and handed the points card to Horikita Suzune.

He checked the points card amount on his phone.

The amount was 10 million points.

“Oh.” However, Horikita seemed relatively calm.

“Don’t you want it?” Hachiman noticed Horikita’s attitude.

“The promotion was an agreement between you and Chabashira-sensei,” Horikita Suzune said. “I was just assisting, and what I wanted was just to gain my brother’s approval.”

In other words, Horikita Suzune was like the person he first met.

She wasn’t greedy for money.

So,

Feeling that those who don’t work shouldn’t eat, and since Hachiman had at least brought the class to A class, he thought it was reasonable for him to now eat the food Horikita Suzune made.

…

The next day.

Probably because of the intense physical activity yesterday, most of the classmates were resting and slacking off.

Hachiman also felt it; after a whole day of tightly packed events during the sports festival, his muscles were sore.

However, two books he borrowed from the library were almost due, so when he went out in the morning to grab some food, he decided to return them as well.

“Beep!”

Hachiman walked to the first floor of the library, opened his student ID on his phone, and placed it on the machine to update the records.

Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly caught a familiar pleasant scent.

He recognized it.

“Shiina-san?” Hachiman instantly identified her.

This was thanks to the time he carried her to the infirmary yesterday, and his body remembered the scent.

“Mm.” Shiina nodded.

Actually, the first floor was her exclusive space. No matter if there were exams or not, she would basically be here during her breaks.

“You usually stay in the library, Shiina-san?” Hachiman asked. “Have you ever considered a career related to books in the future?”

“Well…”

As Hachiman spoke about the future, Hiyori’s mind wandered back to the sports festival yesterday. She had pretended to be injured to trick Hachiman, and then used her classmates to put pressure on Horikita and make false accusations.

It turned out to be completely useless.

Class D lost terribly, and there was nothing left to gain from that.

She had wasted her efforts pretending to be hurt.

However,

At that time, Hachiman had also made a suggestion.

If she had the will, he could provide 20 million points to help her graduate from Class A and secure a good future.

But the price was steep.

She would have to marry him, and… also work as a corporate drone.

That was too much pressure for Shiina, who didn’t want to put in effort.

Now, was Hachiman bringing it up again?

“Actually, I did consider it.”

“Becoming a librarian or something like that in the future,” Shiina said. “During my free time, I could just read books in the library. It sounds really comfortable.”

“Being a librarian doesn’t require 20 million points,” Hachiman said. “If you graduate normally and go to a decent university, you can easily land that position.”

“…” Hiyori.

Okay, Hachiman, please stop saying that.

Because Shiina also hoped to be self-sufficient.

But it was a shame.

She felt that it was nearly impossible to achieve that in this school, so she thought about going to a decent university after graduation and becoming a librarian.

And if she graduated from Class A, there was no way she would be a librarian.

At least she would need a higher position to make it worthwhile.

She didn’t want to put in effort either and wanted to be taken care of, but if there was really an opportunity, she might take the chance.

For example, if she really got 20 million points and could elevate her class, she would definitely seize the opportunity and go into politics or something.

She had been reading women’s literature classics like Scarlett recently. The female protagonist, Scarlett, never gave up and grabbed every opportunity with courage, which was incredibly moving.

And now,

It seemed like there might be an opportunity.

Hachiman had obtained an agreement with Class A, which was worth nearly 30 million points.

So,

Shiina said, “Hachiman, if there was an opportunity, like a business deal that would only be profitable in the future, would you be willing to invest?”

“Are you talking about giving you 20 million points?” Hachiman immediately caught on to her intentions.

“Mm… something like that,” Shiina nodded. “If I graduate from Class A, and then go into politics, the chances are really good. And if I gain certain power, maybe I could propose some plans that could benefit you. What do you think?”

“Then, will you take care of me?” Hachiman asked.

“…” Shiina. “Do we have to get married?”

“Yes,” Hachiman nodded.

“…” Hiyori.

In other words, unless you marry her and take care of him, only then would he possibly accept your investment.

Shiina sighed softly.

However, when she saw Hachiman in the library, it seemed like she had called him over with a purpose.

Because…

“Yesterday, our class was once again at the bottom,” Shiina said. “Not only did the evaluation points reset to zero…”

“At the same time, the agreement with Class A was taken away by you.”

“And Ryuen…”

Shiina said. “Has already dropped out of the class competition.”

This was actually a sad outcome.

When the classmates were opposing Ryuen yesterday, Ryuen arrogantly said that since the class evaluation points were reset to zero, he would resign as the class representative.

And it came true—the class evaluation points really were reset to zero.

Then, the evidence he could use to threaten the former Class A became useless, so Ryuen simply gave up.

He directly resigned.

“Ryuen, huh…” Hachiman actually quite liked Ryuen, but since Ryuen gave up, it no longer mattered how much Hachiman liked Class D.

Because if money could be made in Class D, Ryuen would be necessary.

However…

“Why are you telling me all this?” Hachiman asked.

“Because Class D has become dangerous,” Shiina Hiyori said. “No money, no points.”

“And there will be special exams every month.”

“I suspect there will soon be students who will drop out.”

“If other classes start targeting us, the situation will become even worse.”

“I actually quite like the current class,” Hiyori said. “So I guess this is my way of trying to give the class a slim chance of survival.”

A slim chance of survival?

Yes.

If Ryuen no longer cared, then Class D right now was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

By saying this, Shiina seemed to be hoping for a bit of communication with him, so if there were any difficult exams, the two classes could team up.

And Hachiman began to update his impression of Shiina Hiyori.

He started to understand why Shiina, who was beautiful and had refined tastes, with good academic and athletic abilities, was placed in Class C at first.

It was her personality and way of acting.

Very pragmatic.

She would directly choose the method that best aligned with her current interests.

If a class dropout exam really did occur, she might appear as an innocent, harmless bookish girl.

But in reality, she would most likely pick or intentionally decide who would be the one to drop out.

She was the type who wouldn’t hesitate to directly force one of her classmates to drop out.

And while thinking this…

“Beep!”

Hachiman noticed his phone vibrating and received a message.

He opened it and found it was from Chabashira-sensei.

“This is the reward for our class being promoted to Class A,” Hachiman said, staring at the photo that was sent along with the message. “It seems like it’s something worth commemorating.”

Is that so?

Hachiman, you’re really playing it up.

To be honest, your class’s teacher is working hard too.

The students are competing for the class, working hard for Class A, and it seems like even the homeroom teachers are getting involved. Take Hiyori’s homeroom teacher, for example—Sakagami-sensei was very supportive of Ryuen.

That’s why he was able to share some news with Ryuen that would normally be kept from the students.

That’s how Ryuen was able to prepare for the exams so quickly.

All of this showed how passionate Sakagami-sensei was about the class competition.

But now, it seemed like your class’s teacher was also working hard.

Because…

In Hiyori’s eyes,

The photo that Hachiman opened on his phone was of a woman with a black ponytail.

If you looked closely, you would notice it was Chabashira Sae.

And Chabashira-sensei was wearing a maid outfit.

The black and white maid outfit, under Sae’s portrayal, seemed to come to life. Her long legs, wrapped in white stockings, shimmered with a textured glow in the light.

Perhaps because she was wearing clothes she wouldn’t normally wear, Chabashira seemed somewhat flustered.

She could only stand there awkwardly, with her cheeks slightly flushed.
