The next day.
Morning.
Hikigaya arrived in the Class, but sat in his seat, slightly dazed.
He was looking for a way to break the deadlock.
Given the quality of the students in the Class, it would be difficult to get promoted to Class A, and even trying to leverage Class A would require an opportunity.
And the beginning of the school year was the best opportunity to leverage them.
He had to play a good hand.
Only...
"Ding-a-ling—"
It was already five minutes into Class.
But only 39 students from Class D of Grade 1 had arrived. One was still sleeping soundly, and others, even though the teacher was already at the podium, some were already reaching for their phones.
At this moment.
"Report!"
"I was selected as a regular player for the Basketball Club, so I practiced a bit hard and was late."
At the front door of the Class, a tall boy said.
He had red buzz-cut hair, and long limbs, showing that he was good at sports.
And Hikigaya was somewhat familiar with this person; it was Sudo, who was good at Basketball.
He was outwardly fierce but inwardly timid.
He clearly said, "Ah, self-introduction? Are we still kids?" but then he was the first to participate in the introduction.
He was also the one who, because of his delinquent appearance, was ridiculed by the upperclassmen with, "You'll soon see hell."
But he didn't expect that he had joined the Basketball Club the day before yesterday and had already become a regular.
Because in a place like the Basketball Club, it's almost entirely based on skill, and joining at this time usually means starting by wiping balls for seniors.
But Sudo being able to become a regular shows that his athletic ability is highly commendable.
Hikigaya made a note.
Only...
Hikigaya glanced at the camera hung in the upper left corner of the Class, which could capture all scenes.
Now, Class D's remaining Class evaluation points were probably deducted by -1 point.
Because.
As a student of Advanced Nurturing High School, he was late for the first Class.
...
The morning consisted of four Classes: Physics, Chemistry, English, and Biology.
They were all male teachers' courses, which were quite difficult to endure.
Similar to Chabashira, all the homeroom teachers let the students do as they pleased, ignoring them, so Class ended right on time.
And when the bell for the fourth Class rang, Hikigaya glanced at Kushida, who was very popular in the Class.
Kushida's gaze also happened to come over.
Their eyes met for a moment.
"Eh? Really? That sounds interesting then~ Let's go to Keyaki Mall together after school to experience it." This was Kushida's voice.
She was chatting with her companions.
Clearly, she completely ignored him and continued walking with the girls.
This really made him feel at ease.
It seemed that as long as he didn't step on her toes, or interact with Horikita, who was from the same middle school as her and might know her dark past, then she was very genuine.
However, Kushida's companions today had changed; it wasn't Wang Meiyu, but the Class's gyaru clique.
She was talking to Karuizawa, seemingly about perfume.
She and Hirata were both doing similar work.
Hirata was like a 'Hirata Mom,' specifically responsible for all sorts of troubles, conflicts, and interpersonal relationships among the Classmates.
And although Kushida would also greet the boys, it was clear that she mostly interacted with girls.
This was unavoidable; boys were simpler, but girls quickly formed various small cliques.
For example, the 20 girls in the Class were divided into three groups.
One of them was Kushida and Wang Meiyu, and they would also bring along a student named Inogashira Kokoro.
The others were the gyaru group led by Kei Karuizawa.
Satō Maya, Shinohara Satsuki, and Matsushita Chiaki, as well as Hasebe Haruka, whom Yamauchi had once highly praised as beautiful and kind-hearted, all joined in.
But based on Hikigaya's observational experience, Matsushita Chiaki was a fake gyaru.
Then there were the less prominent girls in the Class, like Onodera, and some unnamed girls similar to NPCs, who would occasionally hope to mix in.
And this was how the ecosystem had formed within a few days.
How terrifying.
Girls' interpersonal relationships.
Speaking of which.
There were actually two girls who were excluded: one was Horikita Suzune, who still hadn't joined the Class group chat, and the other was Sakura, with pink hair, tied in twin tails, wearing pink glasses.
Her full name was Sakura Airi, a cute name.
And.
Hikigaya noticed that her eyes seemed to be cautiously looking over, as if to confirm whether he was staring at her.
And when she realized she was indeed being stared at, she quickly propped up her book.
Then she hid her face.
So cute.
Hikigaya felt that the fatigue of facing four male teachers today and having to forcibly listen to Class for 45 minutes x 4 was completely healed.
Like Horikita, you see, within a few days, you've been isolated by the girls. Are you really not going to change?
And on this point, Hikigaya was not qualified to speak to Horikita.
Because he was still in a state of having zero friends.
Then Hikigaya, who had arrived at the cafeteria, let out a soft sigh.
"Oh my, isn't this Hikigaya? Why the long face?"
Her voice arrived before she did.
Hikigaya noticed a small princess with silver straight hair approaching, holding a cane.
And behind her followed Kamuro Masumi, with long purple hair and two hair clips. Kamuro maintained a certain distance from Sakayanagi, but her obedience was evident.
Clearly.
It seems that after two days, Kamuro's level of domestication has increased by 1.
"I didn't expect to meet Class A's representative here," Hachiman said.
"Oh?"
Sakayanagi was originally just passing by, ready to grasp her cane and leave, but now, hearing the flattering voice of that annoying Hikigaya.
Hmm.
She suddenly decided not to leave.
