Hachiman Hikigaya, who returned from his studies after completing his training.

Not only did they hide notes, but they were also discovered multiple times.

The school has implemented a blanket ban, now prohibiting students from sending any items out of the school.

“Nothing is allowed, because some students have broken the rules before,” Hikigaya said succinctly.

"Why not have the merchant ship it directly without the student handling it? I can do that by paying a lot of personal points."

"Who are you going to give this to?"

Katsuragi rarely showed a look of disappointment, and his insistence on sending a gift made Hachiman curious about who he was going to give it to.

"It was sent to my twin sister. Since our parents are gone, I am the only one who can celebrate for her."

"...Then I'll ask for you."

Hikigaya took out his phone and sent a message to Horikita Manabu to ask if Katsuragi's last method would work, but quickly received a reply that it was not feasible.

Changing the prohibited items listed in the school rules requires more than just a large number of personal points; it also requires the school's approval.

The school will not allow violations based on points; for example, cheating on exams will absolutely result in expulsion.

"No, using a large number of points won't work either."

After receiving the reply, Hachiman immediately replied to Katsuragi. Katsuragi sighed deeply upon receiving the reply, which made Hachiman hesitate.

He had connections to send gifts outside, but if he wanted to help Katsuragi send things, he would have to owe that person a favor.

However, considering that Katsuragi's sister would have no one to celebrate her birthday, he finally called out to Katsuragi, who had thanked him and turned away helplessly.

"I have a way to help you."

"Why?" Katsuragi turned around, his expression relaxing slightly before tightening again. "If using a large number of points doesn't work, then this must be a very risky thing."

"Why should you help me? We're not friends, we could even be considered enemies."

Katsuragi's wariness was palpable. From the repeated rejections of his proposals, Hikigaya knew that he deeply understood that sending things off-campus was absolutely forbidden, and that anyone caught violating this rule would likely be expelled.

Since Katsuragi wasn't being overly pessimistic and his own reputation wasn't exactly great, he wasn't angry at Katsuragi's wariness.

"Because I also have a younger sister, I don't want your sister to feel lonely. It would be too pitiful if no one celebrated her birthday."

“I understand your concerns, but all you need to do is provide me with the address and the gift, and leave everything else to me.”

"However, if you don't write anything down, how will your sister know it was from you when she receives the gift?"

Hikigaya was puzzled, as Katsuragi had previously been willing to accept even the method of having the merchant send the message directly.

“Because my younger sister is frail and sickly, and my parents and grandparents have all passed away, she is now being cared for by relatives. I am the only one who can send her a gift to celebrate her birthday.” Ge Cheng said calmly.

"If you need personal points as payment, I can give them to you now, but given your wealth, I don't think you need them, so it's fine if I consider it as me owing you a favor."

He was frail and sickly, and both his parents and grandparents had passed away.

Hikigaya understood why Katsuragi, at such a young age, possessed a maturity beyond his years, being meticulous, upright, and willing to point out his classmates' mistakes.

"Tell me what you want to say to your sister on her birthday, and I'll have someone write it down and give it to her. Just tell me the address; I have a great memory and I can remember everything."

As a leader, Katsuragi wouldn't put himself in danger, so Hachiman provided him with a way to avoid getting involved.

"Thank you. As long as it doesn't involve the interests of Class A, you can ask me for help with anything."

Having understood Hikigaya's intentions, Katsuragi bowed deeply to Hikigaya, then stood up and told Hikigaya what he wanted to say to his sister.

..........

..........

"So, that's how it is, Chabashira-sensei, you understand."

In the private booth, after informing Chabashira Sae about helping to send the gift, Hikigaya placed the beautifully wrapped gift on the table. Inside the package was also a printed letter from home.

"You really are something else." Chabashira said irritably, taking out a cigarette to take a puff, but seeing Hachiman's warning look, he had no choice but to put it back in his pocket.

She both loved and hated the student in front of her. She loved his strong abilities, but hated his disobedience and his extreme wariness of her.

From the moment he entered the private room, the student hinted at what she should do rather than explicitly stating it, as if he was afraid she would record him and use it to threaten him.

"You will repay me, Hachiman."

"Of course, I will make Class D come in first during the sports festival. Whether it's a victory in the red and white team competition or a victory between students of the same grade, I will also bring you the result."

The rules for the sports festival will be announced in a few days. Since Hachiman, as the student council member, already knew the rules because he knew in advance that he wouldn't have an advantage in the competition.

He is not only confident of winning this sports festival, but also confident of winning big.

"Oh—then I'll wait and see." Hearing Hachiman say that, Chabashira's gloom immediately dissipated.

Winning all the points at the sports festival is extremely difficult, and knowing the rules of this year's festival, she was already prepared to have points deducted from her class.

The red group in the red-white grouping consists of Class A and Class D of each grade, while the white group consists of Class B and Class C.

Judging from the current situation, it seems almost certain that the Red Team of the third and second grades will win against the White Team, after all, it is Class A led by Horikita Manabu and Nagumo Masaru.

Therefore, Hachiman must win against the first-year students while ensuring that at least one second- or third-year student in the Red Team loses.

Chapter 145 The Arrival of the Transfer Student

September 1st,

The end of summer vacation is not a happy thing for students, but the students in Class B and Class D of Grade 1 are happy about it.

From today onwards, Class D is promoted to Class B and is no longer a flawed product that can be ridiculed; Class B has won the first place.

Class A: 1680 points

Class B: 1244 points

Class C: 1105 points

Class D: 880 points

"Congratulations, from today onwards you are students of Class B."

The former Class D classroom, now labeled Class B, had its class numbers written on white paper. After that, Cha Zhu turned to face the students with a faint smile, his tone calm and no longer icy.

"Finally, I won't be laughed at for being a student in Class D anymore."

"We're just one step away from Class 2000."

Sudo slammed his hand on the table excitedly, and even the usually calm Shinmura was a little excited. The classroom was filled with laughter and cheers.

Hirata stood up and said with a smile, "We have to thank Hachiman for his command."

"Yes, yes, if it weren't for Hachiman's command, we wouldn't have been promoted to Class B so quickly."

When the classroom fell silent because of Hirata's words to salvage Hikigaya's image, Karuizawa immediately chimed in, making no attempt to hide the fact that she was even closer to the tyrant Hikigaya.

This caused Shinohara and Sato, who had previously clashed with Hikigaya, to have different expressions.

"Quiet down, everyone. I have something else to announce."

When the classroom became noisy again because of Karuizawa's speech, Chabashira tapped the blackboard a few times to quiet the classroom.

"I hope there won't be a special exam right after the start of the semester," Bentang muttered to himself, sitting at the front of the class.

"Due to special circumstances, a transfer student from another school will be transferring to our class." Ignoring Hondou's self-talk, Chashu clapped his hands. "Yukinoshita, you may come in."

Under the snow!! ???

Hachiman Kojima, who had been calm and collected in the audience since he already knew that a transfer student would be there, suddenly felt a huge surge of emotion.

This surname is not common, and Sakayanagi hinted that the transfer student came from a powerful and influential family.

No, no, no.

Hikigaya sat up straight, staring intently at the slowly opening classroom door, where a girl with long, black hair that reached past her shoulders appeared—so cute it was almost unfair.

She has a cold and stern appearance, and her icy blue eyes exude a cold indifference that keeps people at a distance. Although her chest is not particularly well-endowed, it is still of a certain standard, but it cannot compare to any of the girls in the class.

Yukino Yukinoshita, Hikigaya knows her name.

She was a girl who was once about to become his sister-in-law, as aloof and beautiful as her name suggested.

"What's wrong? Do you know this girl?" Horikita asked, she had never seen Hachiman so shocked.

From the moment the transfer student appeared at the door, Hachiman's gaze never left her.

Although the transfer student was indeed very cute and could even compete for the title of cutest in the class and grade, Horikita Suzune could not see any desire in Hikigaya's eyes, only confusion and surprise.

"I guess you could say we've met, but she's never met me."

"Unrequited love? What a pathetic man."

“She’s just a fellow countryman, a fellow countryman,” Hachiman quickly said. “Someone asked me to take care of her.”

At first, he wanted to pretend he didn't know her, but he couldn't rest easy knowing that Yukinoshita was aloof and not good at interpersonal communication.

"Iji, with 50,000 points, go and sit in the seat before Ike."

"Me?! Now?"

The only boy in the last row besides Hachiman looked surprised, his chubby face full of confusion.

“Yes, now, if you feel you don’t have enough points, you can add more,” Hachiman continued.

"That's enough, that's enough."

As a poor student in the class who was exploited and had to collect 75% of the points, the 50,000 points he earned made Iju happy. In addition, not having to sit next to Hachiman was also a good thing for him.

Having witnessed the fate of the others, he felt a certain amount of pressure sitting next to Hachiman.

"Breathtakingly beautiful, elegant like a young lady from a wealthy family."

"The sound is nice too."

"From Chiba? That's very close to Tokyo."

After introducing herself, Yukino Yukinoshita sighed inwardly as she looked at the noisy students below. Were these her classmates for the next two years? They seemed so restless.

My sister said this is a meritocratic school, so she can't see any signs of the students in front of her being in fierce competition.

Can she really meet her sister's demands?

"Iju, what's wrong with you standing up?"

The boy who suddenly stood up immediately attracted the attention of the two people on stage. Chabashira's idea of ​​which seat to arrange for Yukino was interrupted, so his tone was a little cold.

"Hachiman asked me to change seats." As he spoke, Iju packed his things and left his seat. He wasn't stupid, even though his grades weren't good. He understood why Hachiman wanted him to change seats now.

Now the tea stalks on stage don't need to think about which seat to arrange for Yukinoshita to sit in; Hachiman has already decided for her.

Of course, she chose to obey her precious darling.

"Yukinoshita, please sit in the spot where Iju originally sat."

"Other positions won't work?"

Chabashira's behavior made Yukinoshita frown. She didn't know who Hachiman was, but this teacher didn't object to or even condoned the students' practice of arbitrarily changing their seats.

This puzzled her; why should a teacher listen to students?

"No, this is a meritocracy classroom, and Hachiman is the most powerful one in this classroom. You have to listen to him from now on."

Following the gaze of the tea pillar, Yukinoshita's gaze fell upon Hachiman.

Because Hachiman's gaze never left Yukinoshita, the two were now locked in a staring contest, and Hachiman clearly saw hostility in Yukinoshita's eyes.

Hikigaya: "......"

What do you mean you have to listen to the most powerful one? Chabashira, you bastard.

He won't force you... Maybe he'll force Yukino to listen to him, but not now!

Now all he wanted was to keep this familiar yet unfamiliar sister-in-law by his side and let Horikita show her around the school.

By the way, let her observe Horikita, who is somewhat similar to her in appearance and behavior, up close, and see if she can learn anything from her.

"I won't listen to him like the teacher said." With a cold face and her mood worsening, Yukino walked slowly from the podium to the empty seat next to Hachiman.

As she got closer, she could see more clearly the faces of the students in the back row.

A quiet and lovely girl with long silver hair, exuding a soft and gentle aura.

With a slightly evasive gaze, the girl with long, fiery red hair tied in pigtails, who looked like an idol, had an exaggerated figure that made people wonder if she was really a high school student.

The aloof girl with long black hair, just like her, was so beautiful that even she couldn't help but be a little surprised.
