Hachiman Hikigaya's Classroom Of The Elite (Patreon)

Volume 1 Chapter 14: Invitation from the Student Council

"The students of Advanced Nurturing High School come from all corners of the country."

Commander Horikita Manabu spoke in a deep voice, "Having different tastes is normal, and it's indeed a lack of consideration on the school's part if they don't take into account the feelings of all students."

In terms of daily life, Advanced Nurturing High School is quite generous. Basically, they cater to all requests, as long as you have enough points to fulfill most desires.

Hikigaya glanced at them with some surprise.

Why did it feel like the commander and the blondie were at odds?

But.

It's normal for the heads of the student council and the vice-president to be at odds.

Internal discord within small circles, he loved it the most.

Serves you right!

"Indeed."

Nagumo spread his hands helplessly, "Truly admirable, Horikita-senpai, for being able to candidly admit your shortcomings."

Hey.

Don't give up, little blondie. As the antagonist, you should just go up and punch the commander, right?

Hikigaya stoked the fire in his heart, wanting to see them fight.

"This is your other club founding application."

Commander Horikita Manabu didn't mind either, picking up the other document and saying:

"Wool Club, activities include table tennis, tennis, basketball, tea ceremony, calligraphy, flower arranging, video games, literature, etc. What does this mean?"

Even Tachibana was speechless.

Isn't it shameless to be so obvious about wanting to fleece the school? Don't they feel embarrassed about it at all? Just call it the Fleece Club directly.

"It means exactly what it says."

Hikigaya said indifferently.

In fact, this was his fallback plan.

When one proposal was rejected, it was easy to pass another one out of embarrassment.

Fleecing the school was irrelevant,

MAX Coffee and ramen were the top priorities.

"You're very straightforward."

Horikita Manabu pushed his glasses and said, "Well, forget it, this application can be approved."

"Hmm?"

"What's wrong? You seem a bit surprised?"

Horikita Manabu instantly saw through his thoughts and calmly explained:

"Regardless of the reason, being able to think of this is your strength. Moreover, this requires sacrificing your personal time after school as an exchange. In my eyes, this is not a profitable deal either."

For a trivial gain, sacrificing time with friends after school is obviously not worth it for most people.

This is where the advantage of being a lone wolf comes in. He simply doesn't care about these things.

Besides.

Komachi is not here, so there is nothing to do in the dormitory. It makes no difference to him whether he stays at school or returns to his dormitory.

"And."

Horikita Manabu continued, "Every year, clubs need to deliver results. Sports clubs need to maintain their performance, and other clubs have their own tasks."

"Just having naive thoughts of taking advantage is not a long-term plan."

Indeed, there are no loopholes to exploit.

After all these years, there must have been people who wanted to take advantage of the school, but they all ended up failing.

Well, getting a little advantage is better than nothing.

Anyway, the commander doesn't seem to oppose him taking advantage, after all, it's the school's money, not the commander's concern.

"Therefore, you can choose another path."

Horikita Manabu raised his hand and looked at the man in front of him, saying, "Hikigaya-san, join the student council. You can also receive additional personal points every month, which is much better than establishing a club."

Damn it.

So, he was waiting for me here.

"Is it okay to just tell me about personal points?"

Hikigaya said listlessly.

He didn't believe that the person who could become the commander would be a fool; leaking information shouldn't happen with this person.

And.

Who would want to be a corporate slave for this corrupt commander?

Although he wanted to take advantage to improve his life.

But this is just a contingency plan. It doesn't matter if it succeeds or not, as long as MAX Coffee passes!

"No problem."

Horikita Manabu said nonchalantly, "This afternoon, Ichinose confirmed with us about the class points and personal points. I heard the answer came from you."

"Whether it's a direct opinion or sharp insight, you are undoubtedly qualified to join the student council."

"Give up on establishing a club and join the student council."

"How about it?"

He unintentionally received high praise from the corrupt commander.

This is not a good thing.

Being targeted by a corrupt organization will only lead to being exploited to death.

"Hahaha."

Hikigaya laughed dryly twice, "I refuse!"

He wouldn't fall for this.

"I see."

Horikita Manabu nodded at the underclassman in front of him, "It seems I misunderstood before. Your goal isn't for money, but to use this application as a contingency to get the previous recommendation through?"

"Uh—"

Hikigaya choked for a moment.

This corrupt commander is too formidable. He saw through his intentions so quickly.

But it's normal, if not for the points, there could only be other reasons.

Perhaps just a simple test.

But Hikigaya tends to believe that this corrupt commander has already guessed his plan.

"Never mind."

Horikita Manabu said calmly, "You can consider joining the student council, or if you still want to establish a club, you need three official members. The list should be submitted to the student council by the end of April. You may leave now."

"Goodbye!"

Hikigaya left without hesitation.

"Hikigaya!"

At this moment, the blond-haired Nagumo suddenly spoke, "Don't you care if the recommendation passes?"

"True, what about that recommendation?"

"The part about purchasing MAX Coffee will be approved, just keep an eye on the school announcements."

"Oh, I see. Thanks, I'll go now."

Hikigaya nodded, inwardly making a victorious gesture before turning to leave.

So his intentions had been seen through by these people long ago.

But that's normal.

Students can't lose MAX Coffee.

It would be even stranger if they didn't notice, given that he directly confronted them with his intentions from the start.

"It seems."

After Hikigaya left, Nagumo joked with a smile, "He already knew the answer."

"But what's his reason for doing this?"

Tachibana Akane became a bit puzzled.

After all, this guy has been focused on MAX Coffee the whole time.

Without any worries.

Clearly confident that the school would definitely agree.

After all, it's just a few boxes of drinks.

Although the school is strict with management, they can still be purchased online, and there's no reason for the school to refuse.

However.

Why beat around the bush with a proposal that will definitely be approved?

Is he crazy?

Why not just say it directly?

He even cited references and wrote a long-winded piece of nonsense, almost making her voice hoarse.

"How would I know..."

Nagumo's mouth twitched. This was the only thing they couldn't figure out. After a while, he said:

"President Horikita, is this the person you've chosen?"

"It's up to you how to think about it."

Horikita Manabu picked up another document, casually explaining, "However, he does have the qualifications and abilities to join the student council, but he can only be considered a talent."

"That's true."

Nagumo nodded, not opposing either.

After all, anyone who can figure out the rules of this school on the first day must not be ordinary.

But that's all there is to it.

He's just not very good at communicating, and his personality seems a bit off.

And this habit of beating around the bush, who knows where he learned it from.
