The four first-year classes can generally be divided into the following four categories.
Sakayanagi Arisu's Pawns.
Ichinose Honami's Harem.
Ryūen Kakeru's Empire.
And Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's Toolbox.
The forr Class B is a class that coalesced around Ichinose Honami, and when everyone encounters difficulties, they instinctively seek her out.
If it were genuinely difficult matters, bothering Ichinose Honami would still be sowhat understandable. But situations like asking her to tutor 15 people in the class simultaneously are simply too ridiculous. She is the class leader, not a cram school teacher.
"Takada-san also thinks Ichinose is having a tough ti, right?"
Seeing his expression, Hino Yuki continued, "If we keep relying on Ichinose-san, I'm afraid it might crush her."
Ichinose Honami already has a lot on her plate. If she is given any more pressure, she might truly break.
That is what Hino Yuki thought.
Hearing this, Takada Hikaru smiled lightly and said, "Precisely because of this, Yuki-san should properly criticize Honami."
Hearing his words, Hino Yuki widened her eyes in surprise. " criticize Ichinose-san?"
Ichinose Honami is the class's popular normie, a good friend to everyone.
She, Hino Yuki, does have friends in the class, but those friends are closer to Ichinose Honami.
Asking her to criticize Ichinose Honami—wouldn't that make her the enemy of the entire class?
Even Takada Hikaru, the most unconventional person in the class, rarely opposed Ichinose Honami normally, let alone her.
"Honami is an excellent leader. If you are willing to offer your opinion privately, I believe she will be happy to listen." Takada Hikaru stated his view.
The advantage of this class is its strong unity. The drawback, however, is the excessive reliance on Ichinose Honami.
Even Kanzaki Ryūji, who seems independent, appears to define himself only as a supporter. If Ichinose Honami says go east, he absolutely won't go west.
"It's not wrong for a class to follow the leader's arrangents, but if there isn't even a single voice of opposition, that's too dangerous."
Takada Hikaru looked at the girl beside him. "If it's Yuki-san, I think you can offer Honami excellent advice, and the class can return to the right track from its mistaken path."
Hino Yuki shrank her neck and whispered timidly, "But... I don't dare."
Contradicting the most popular girl in the class—wasn't that asking for death?
If this were any other school, she would probably face bullying.
"Then offer your opinion to Honami in private." Takada Hikaru repeated. "The class needs your strength."
"If it's like that... then maybe." Hino Yuki nodded softly.
If they only discussed it privately, given Ichinose Honami's personality, she definitely wouldn't tell anyone.
Although she didn't think she could play a role in the class, if she could change the current situation, it would benefit her too. It was indeed necessary to give Ichinose Honami so appropriate advice, just as Takada Hikaru had suggested.
Thinking of this, her expression beca strange. "Takada-san, you're actually pretending too, aren't you?"
Takada Hikaru raised an eyebrow. "Why do you say that?"
Having his pretense seen through was not an unacceptable thing for him. As long as he handled it properly, he could even use the fact that he had been pretending to leave a deeper impression on the audience and gain higher Popularity Points.
Just like Kushida Kikyo.
Although many people disliked her two-faced personality, many others liked that style. Even Takada Hikaru himself quite enjoyed watching the scenes where Kushida Kikyo revealed her true face when he watched the ani.
He had long anticipated that the fake persona he created would be exposed one day. He just hadn't expected Hino Yuki to be the one to discover it.
"You clearly said you wouldn't pay attention to class matters anymore, but now that you saw the class potentially going astray, you hope I can lead them back onto the right track."
Hino Yuki teased, saying, "Takada-san, aren't you also very concerned about the class?"
Is that all?
Hearing her answer, Takada Hikaru was sowhat disappointed, but he continued the act. "I have my own considerations."
The reason he spoke so much to Hino Yuki today wasn't just because he wanted her to contribute to the class. He simply wanted to trigger a Special Plot involving her.
Hino Yuki was, after all, a girl with a na, a surna, and illustrations in the original series. Furthermore, her personality was completely different from the other mbers of the forr Class B.
So Takada Hikaru thought he could trigger a Special Plot involving her to increase his Popularity Points.
Unfortunately, even though he talked a lot with Hino Yuki, the system still showed no reaction.
It seems the plan to trigger a Special Plot involving Hino Yuki has fallen through.
Just as Takada Hikaru regretted the failure of his plan, comnts suddenly appeared before his eyes.
[So the Student Council President is Horikita's older brother.]
[They have the sa surna, of course they're siblings.]
[Looks like these two siblings don't have a good relationship, the older brother is scolding the younger sister the whole ti.]
[Suzune, who is afraid of her older brother, looks so cute.]
[Right now, Ayanokoji is peeping.]
Seeing the content on the comnts, Takada Hikaru was slightly stunned.
Did he actually catch the scene where Horikita Manabu bullies his sister?
Moreover, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka hadn't intervened, instead choosing to observe from the side in secret. Hmm, that fits his setting as a recluse.
Takada Hikaru opened the system and watched the current events through the ani perspective.
The scene was currently focused exactly on the siblings Horikita Manabu and Horikita Suzune.
But the next mont, the scene changed, moving to Takada Hikaru.
'Ts this asking to step in and save Horikita Suzune?' Takada Hikaru understood the intention behind this scene arrangent.
[Money-Giving Guy!]
[The Boss has appeared!]
Seeing his expression turn serious, Hino Yuki asked curiously, "Takada-san, is sothing wrong?"
[A new female character, huh?]
[Twintails—that must an she's a tsundere.]
[Hey, don't stereotype! Twintails don't necessarily an tsundere.]
[Then can you give an example of a twintails character who isn't a tsundere?]
[...]
"It seems sothing is happening up ahead." Takada Hikaru said with a serious expression.
Hino Yuki tilted her head and listened carefully. "It sounds like two people are arguing?"
"Let's go take a look."
"Okay."
Takada Hikaru and Hino Yuki ran forward.
anwhile.
Horikita Manabu pushed his sister against the wall, pinning her arm with one hand, his eyes flashing with cold light.
"Nii-san, don't..."
Horikita Suzune lost her usual tough deanor and closed her eyes in fear.
"Suzune, all these years, you haven't changed at all."
Seeing his sister's disappointing appearance, Horikita Manabu felt disappointed. He then raised his other arm, palm aid at her abdon.
Just as he was about to strike, soone grabbed his arm, making it impossible for him to move even slightly.
Then, a young man's voice rang out from behind him. "Student Council President, although I arrived a bit late and don't know the full situation, judging from the conversation just now, are you trying to assault Suzune-san?"
Takada Hikaru, who had arrived just in ti, held Manabu's arm and spoke with a relaxed expression.
