Chapter 216: Young And Promising, Tsukishiro’s Victory

Downstairs in the dormitory, next to the vending machine, Hikigaya bent down and picked up the MAX coffee he had just bought.

Anyway, Ichinose's matter can be considered settled. As long as she can concentrate on the exam, I believe she will have no worries tomorrow.

"It's a brand I've never seen before," he mused.

At that moment, a voice with a friendly tone of laughter came from behind him,

"How does this coffee taste?"

"Oh.." Hikigaya was startled. He wished people would stop talking to him from behind. He turned around and saw a middle-aged man with a kind smile on his face.

It had been almost a year since MAX Coffee was established. Those who were interested should all have tried it. 

Was this man a new staff member at the school?

"Um..." Hikigaya held the MAX coffee in his hand and nodded,

"If you like sweets, this coffee is not bad."

"Thank you!" The man replied,

"I quite like sweets, so I'll buy a can and give it a try."

The middle-aged man walked to the vending machine with a smile and bought a can of MAX coffee. Hikigaya glanced at him casually and turned around to leave. Although he wanted to preach, the age gap was a bit too big.

"It's indeed very sweet," the man sighed from behind him,

"Do you likes this kind of coffee because it's a specialty of Chiba?"

"Well….."

Hikigaya's face suddenly stiffened. No matter how many reasons there were, class voting undoubtedly destroyed the school's prestige and damaged its credibility. 

If the school was magnanimous,they would not remember the faults of the students. So, he decided to forget it.

But it wasn't really surprising that someone came to him. Although the school claimed to respect students' autonomy, Hikigaya knew that it was impossible to avoid hearing complaints every day. When encountering some petty people in power, it would be a mercy not to tear them apart. He was afraid that the other party was someone from the school who came here specifically to confront him.

"Um..." Hikigaya forced a smile and looked back,

"Excuse me, what do you want from me?"

But, strictly speaking, he hadn't made any big mistakes either. The most they could do was suspend him for a few weeks, deduct some personal points, and simply hammer it out. Hikigaya was honestly prepared to be punished.

"Oh?" The middle-aged man held the coffee can and said with a friendly face,

"It seems that you know the consequences of your actions. You really don't look like a student."

"Hehe..." Hikigaya laughed dryly and didn't respond. He really didn't look like a high school student.

"I am the new chairman of this school, Tsukishiro."

"Well..." 

Hikigaya was stunned. Even if they wanted to punish him, it couldn't be done by the chairman himself, right? Probably not. This chairman would never allow anyone to question his authority. Was he a super stingy guy?

It's over.

Hikigaya was honestly prepared to be expelled from school.

If the school's chairman catches you wearing small shoes, you're almost certain to be expelled.

"Ha ha."

Tsukishiro smiled kindly and said,

"Don't be so nervous. I'm not here to cause trouble for the students. I just really admire your methods and want to praise you."

"Phew."

Hikigaya breathed a sigh of relief, forced a smile, and said,

"Those are just some clever tricks. Thanks to the school's kindness, our students have the opportunity to stay. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

With that, Hikigaya quickly turned around and left.

What a joke.

It doesn't matter if the other person is sincerely appreciative or if he is being hypocritical.

He didn't want to be associated with such a big shot.

Not to mention...

His plan succeeded....

Mainly becuase it relies on the kindness of the school, and one shouldn't be complacent.

He did not hesitate to credit the school, which meant thanking Chairman Tsukishiro for his kindness.

He really hoped this guy wouldn't give him tiny shoes.

"I heard there's some water leakage on the fifth floor and it's being repaired now."

Upon hearing the words, Hikigaya honestly walked back.

This is job oppression!

Abuse of power is garbage!

It's that simple to put on small shoes for him, just find some excuse.

"Don't be so nervous."

Looking at Hikigaya who looked embarrassed, Chairman Tsukishiro smiled kindly and said,

"I just want to ask you for a favor, and I will give you a generous reward."

"Ha ha..."

Hikigaya laughed dryly, patted the muscles of his right arm, and said with a smile,

"What are you busy with? If it's moving things, I'm quite strong!"

The implication was clear.

Don't talk about things that are too difficult.

He seemed to have misunderstood the nature of the incident.

Tsukishiro temporarily added class exams, maybe not to show his authority, but to come to this school with certain tasks.

"Um?"

Tsukishiro was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he carefully looked up and down at Hikigaya in front of him for a while before saying,

"I didn't expect to hear such words from a student. You might be suitable to be a politician."

"Hehe..."

Hikigaya laughed dryly.

If it's about taking a slap in the face, he might be quite suitable to be a politician.

"Let's hear about the reward first?"

Chairman Tsukishiro smiled playfully and said,

"As long as the matter is successful, I can give you 20 million point, and even guarantee that Class B will graduate from Class A. How about that?"

For a moment...

Hikigaya's heart beat rapidly, but then quickly calmed down.

"Is it so profitable to move things?"

Hikigaya pretended to be dumbfounded.

What a joke...

Naturally, he did not doubt Chairman Tsukishiro's remuneration.

But...

This is a school with a national background.

The chairman went one step further,

He could even join the cabinet and become a national-level leader.

Even Chairman Tsukishiro himself found it troublesome. How could he possibly solve it?

"There's no need to refuse in a hurry," Tsukishiro said with a nonchalant smile.

"It's just because I have to be restricted by rules in this school and it's not very convenient for me to move around that I asked you for help. And it's not that difficult, as long as you help me drop out a student. If you perform well, you can continue to work with me after graduation. It's a good deal, right?"

"I'm also good at cleaning and hygiene~" Hikigaya continued to act dumb and said blankly.

What a joke. How could the chairman be restricted? Just like now, if there is a leak on the fifth floor, it is a leak. There is no room for refutation.

 If he is really restricted, it means that Chairman Tsukishiro must have encountered some resistance, and there must be someone standing on the opposite side.

 

There are big guys on both sides! 

Being on either side will offend the other side. He is just a little guy with a small nose, small eyes, and a small mouth. Hikigaya doesn't do such stupid things.

After graduation, being able to work with Chairman Tsukishiro is naturally very attractive, and having a big boss to help you will definitely make things go faster. Let's not talk about whether we are trying to spread the pie. When the boss fights, the younger brother suffers. The faction that Tsukishiro belongs to is obviously not very peaceful. Even if someone drops out of school, he need to ask students for help. Obviously, it is not very powerful.

At least not as good as the big guy standing opposite. Following Tsukishiro felt like he was courting death.

"Hmm?" Tsukishiro narrowed his eyes and stared at the boy in front of him. Even after talking about this, he is still not moved. Is this person really just a teenager? And it's not like he is indifferent to fame and fortune, but more like he can judge the pros and cons. Young and promising!

 Tsukishiro couldn't help but feel motivated to promote him. If he was still joking before, now he really feels that Hikigaya seems to be very suitable for politics.

It's a pity. The weak never have the right to choose.

"You need to make Ayanokouji Kiyotaka drop out of school," Chairman Tsukishiro said with a nonchalant smile.

"As for the reward, I won't let you down."

"Well…" Hikigaya was stunned. 

Honestly, there is nothing surprising about the name Ayanokouji Kiyotaka. This guy always shows off some inexplicable weirdness and does countless things secretly. But why doesn't Chairman Tsukishiro listen to what others say? I don't agree, I don't agree! 

Understand? Don't drag me into this muddy water! Anyway, he can just pretend not to know.

"Although you are indeed excellent," Tsukishiro said with a smile, looking at Hikigaya who was pretending to be deaf and dumb.

"But you seem to be a bit weak. You don't have any anti-detection skills. You didn't even notice that you were being followed, right, Ayanokouji-san?"

"Well…" Hikigaya's face was stiff and he looked back following Tsukishiro's gaze. What counter-investigation? I'm just going to school, it's like a spy movie.

In less than a moment, Ayanokoji walked out from the corner without any expression and appeared in front of Hikigaya and Tsukishiro.
