Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

Two days later, in the office.

As expected, Hikigaya was called to the office because of the biology homework, but the one who greeted him was not the biology teacher, but Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"Hachiman, you wrote some weird stuff again." Shizuka Hiratsuka said to Hikigaya with a forced smile.

"It's a normal biological research report. I think I wrote it pretty well..."

"Then tell me why there is so little written about the bear, and why you even describe the group as being like some kind of poison. How much resentment do you have towards the group?"

"...Let's not talk about that for now. Isn't this a biology homework?" Hikigaya meant that Hiratsuka might have exceeded his authority.

"Don't forget that I am also your life counselor. When the biology teacher saw this homework, he gave it to me directly and asked me to communicate with you." Shizuka Hiratsuka sighed, and then did not dwell on it any further. She knew that the other party's temper needed to be improved slowly, so there was no need to rush.

"How is the club going lately?" She looked at Hikigaya and Su Qing beside her at the same time.

So you called me here just to ask this? Never mind, it's okay to just watch Hikigaya's fun.

"Not bad, it fits my stereotype of the Neon Literary Society." Su Qing thought for a moment and gave his answer.

"Idiot! That's the Service Club, don't turn it into a literature club without my permission."

"When there are no commissions, it's the literature department. It's not a waste of time. Why not ask the teacher to help find a commission? After all, the bet was brought up by the teacher."

"By the way, how was the outcome of that bet determined?" Hikigaya asked with concern.

"As for commissions, I will of course always try my best to find them for you. Don't worry about the outcome. That will be determined by my personal prejudice and arbitrary judgment." Shizuka Hiratsuka answered one by one, and then she asked another question.

"What do you all think of Yukinoshita?"

"What an annoying guy." Hikigaya was the first to answer.

"A very interesting guy." This was Su Qing's answer.

"Hahaha, your opinions are still not unified. I can understand what Hikigaya said about being annoying, but Su Qing, can you tell me what's interesting about Yukinoshita?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka was not in a hurry to give an answer, but curiously asked Su Qing what he thought.

"Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

"Of course it's the truth!"

"I heard that she has been at the top of the class since she entered school, which shows how good she is. Her delicate facial features are like a pet carefully crafted by Nuwa, which shows that she has an outstanding appearance.

From her original intention of establishing the Service Department, we can probably tell that she is a kind-hearted person. However, there are many ways to help others in this world, but she chose the most direct way. What she hopes for is not just to help, but to change a person.

I guess he must have encountered a lot of things in the past to make such a decision, so I find it interesting. "

Su Qing said calmly.

"Well, that's more or less true. That child is very good, but geniuses have their own troubles. She is too kind and too honest. But this world is neither kind nor honest, so she must have had a hard time until now.

You all have twisted personalities, and I am worried about whether you will be able to integrate well into society in the future, so I put you together."

Shizuka Hiratsuka turned around, put her hands in her trouser pockets, and said with some emotion.

"So you think that place is some kind of mental hospital? Or a shelter for problem children?" After saying this, Hikigaya glanced at Su Qing. If it was a case of a twisted personality, does Su Qing also count as one?

By the way, why don't we send problem children to another world to have a look?

"Maybe." Shizuka Hiratsuka laughed happily a few times and said again.

"But it's actually very interesting to observe you." Then, Hiratsuka Shizuka's voice became a little distant.

"Or maybe I want to keep you by my side."

"Teacher Xiaojing, you are such a good teacher." Su Qing suddenly said in a gentle tone.

Are you a good teacher?

Come to think of it, the person with the most twisted personality in this club, could it be you, Su Qing...

Shizuka Hiratsuka had a complicated look in her eyes. When the biology teacher gave her Hikigaya's biology homework, she also took the opportunity to take Su Qing's homework. The other party praised Su Qing's biology report and praised Su Qing for his thorough research on the living habits and racial characteristics of wolves.

Hiratsuka Shizuka had naturally finished reading the report, but the report did not mention anyone at all, yet every word of it mentioned someone.

Wolves are magical animals. They are social animals, but they are also brave warriors that can walk alone or in groups. As a Japanese teacher, Shizuka Hiratsuka knew that although the report was a rare masterpiece in the eyes of the biology teacher, in her opinion, it was more like a true portrayal of the other party as a ruthless observer.

……

In the afternoon, in the service department.

Su Qing and Hikigaya entered the club at the same time. As soon as they pulled out a chair and sat down, they heard Yukinoshita speaking lightly.

"Seven bucks for you."

"Well, good afternoon, Yukinoshita."

Since "Hello" can mean both "hello" and "how are you all", Hikigaya didn't know whether the people Yukinoshita was greeting included him.

I remember when I was in junior high school, a girl next to Hikigaya asked a question. He thought the girl was talking to him, so he happily replied. But it turned out that she was talking to the girl behind him. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

However, thinking of what Shizuka Hiratsuka and Su Qing said about Yukinoshita in the morning, he felt that he should be included, so he also gave a response.

"Forget about the transfer student. I didn't expect you to come today, Hikigaya. I thought you would hold out for a few days and then not come. Are you a masochist?"

"Well, after all, I did participate in the bet, and I promised to lend a hand to you and complete your commission."

"Thank you. You have a pretty good memory for a transfer student, right? I thought you had forgotten those weird words, but before that I thought I could try to change your weird personality."

"I'm not a masochist." Seeing that the two were talking to themselves and there was no room for him to interrupt, Hikigaya quickly retorted. He could already feel Su Qing's strange gaze just now, how could this guy take it seriously!

"So he's a stalker?" Yukinoshita pondered for a moment and gave a more reasonable explanation.

"Hikigaya Kuma-kun, didn't I expect you to be a stalker? Listen to me, stop it, there are sirs everywhere outside."

Su Qing stopped pretending and just looked at Hikigaya with regret, as if he was looking at a child who had gone astray.

"How could you believe it!" Where's the friend? Damn it, Su Qing, if he was a friend, shouldn't he come out to defend his reputation at this time?

Because he didn't want to be labeled a pervert, he even ignored the shameful nickname Hikigaya for a moment.

"Hikigaya Kuma-kun? Is that a nickname?" Yukinoshita asked in confusion.

"Speaking of Hikigaya Kuma-kun, ahem, we have to start with a biological research report..." Su Qing sat upright, looking like a storyteller.

Hikigaya quickly reached out and covered Su Qing's mouth to stop him from blurting out the negative information.

This guy Su Qing is really a good friend of mine. He will tell me everything if there is anything!

Despite Hikigaya's strong dissuasion, the clever Yukinoshita still came up with a rough idea.

"I guess he wrote something weird on his biology homework, like 'I want to be a lonely bear too' or something like that. It fits his twisted personality very well."

"That's great, Yukinoshita-san. You guessed it so quickly. It looks like Hikigaya's personality really leaves a deep impression on people."

Su Qing generously gave a high evaluation among mainland boys.

Damn, these guys. Hikigaya was indignant, but he was more curious about something.

"Why are you assuming that I have feelings for you?"

"Isn't it?"

"You are such a narcissist that even I can't stand it."

Hikigaya curled his lips in disdain and continued.

"I said, don't you have any friends?"

"Before we talk about this issue, we need to discuss what the definition of a friend is..."

"Okay, when you said that I knew you had no friends anymore."

"Is this from your experience of having no friends?"

"That's a thing of the past. I became friends with Su Qing a few days ago!" Hikigaya said proudly as if he was proving something.

Yukinoshita looked at Su Qing, as if questioning Hikigaya's words.

"Well, I think Hikigaya is quite interesting."

"Really? Making friends for the special purpose of observing human diversity? That's understandable."

"Hey, hey, hey, Su Qing is not that kind of person!"

As he said that, Hikigaya looked at Su Qing, and Su Qing also looked at Hikigaya. After confirming with each other's eyes, they knew that Su Qing was definitely not a person with such vulgar tastes!

"Then before the transfer student transferred in, you can't deny that you didn't make any friends throughout your freshman year, right?" Yukinoshita pointed out the problem sharply.

"Well... stop talking nonsense. Anyway, I have made friends now. But you, you seem so popular but don't have any friends?"

"Do you understand?" Yukinoshita stood up and walked towards the window while continuing.

"I'm so cute that most of the boys who approach me have a good impression of me."

"Useless affection and love only cause trouble to others. Tell your story." Su Qing said with interest.

"That's true. Because of this, my indoor shoes were stolen sixty times when I was in elementary school, fifty of which were stolen by girls. So I had to bring my indoor shoes and recorder home every day."

Yukinoshita nodded in agreement with Su Qing's statement, then returned to her seat and continued.

"It sounds like it's very hard." Hikigaya thought of the conversation between Hiratsuka Shizuka and Su Qing in the morning. It's okay for Hiratsuka Shizuka as a teacher, but how did Su Qing guess this when he had just transferred to the school a week ago?

"There's nothing I can do about it. After all, I'm so cute." A trace of loneliness flashed in Yukinoshita's eyes as she spoke.

“No one is perfect. It is understandable that people exclude those who are better than themselves because of their cowardice. It is strange that the more outstanding people are in this world, the harder their lives are.

That’s why I want to change this world, including humans.”

"Changing the world is a bit too exaggerated, isn't it?" Hikigaya complained.

"Question: When a stronger individual appears in a weak group, the group will choose to exclude the individual because of fear of the individual's absolute strength. As a result, the individual gradually becomes alienated from the group. What should the individual do at this time?"

Su Qing did not respond, but asked the two of them a question.

"Well, if they are excluded because they are afraid of being too strong, then they can choose to hide their weaknesses or simply choose to switch to a group with a similar level to the individual, right?" Hikigaya thought for a moment and gave his opinion.

"Then we should help most of the individuals in the group to become as strong as ourselves." Yukinoshita gave her answer.

"Well, both of your answers are very interesting." Su Qing touched his chin and then gave his evaluation.

"Hikigaya chose to directly eliminate the contradiction of the problem, while Yukinoshita chose to eliminate the environment that caused the problem. But Hikigaya, we can't hide ourselves forever, and many times we can't choose the environment we are in."

"Well...it seems to be true."

"Yukinoshita, it is also difficult to change the environment you live in. Do you really have the confidence that you can make most people as strong as you?"

"It's better than doing nothing. And they don't need to be as strong as me. It's enough to be stronger than their original selves. This way, they won't reject stronger individuals."

Yukinoshita frowned, but still gave her opinion calmly.

Su Qing shook his head.

“Human desires are like rocks falling from a mountain. Once they start, they can never be stopped.”

"It's Nietzsche's philosophy, right?" As for this famous philosopher, Yukinoshita was naturally familiar with him.

Su Qing nodded and continued, "People are greedy. Once your help does not reach what they consider to be absolutely fair, the conflict between the collective and the individual will turn into a conflict between small groups, and then they will be more greedy to ask you for more help. What should you do then?"

This time, Yukinoshita did not answer, but just fell into thought.

"You are smart enough to understand that there are differences between individuals. Even if the same help is given, the achievements that can be achieved are different. So in order to achieve the so-called absolute balance, you must give more help to the weaker ones, but this will cause dissatisfaction among the stronger ones. This is people's prejudice, because they often only consider themselves."

“Once prejudice is formed in people’s minds, it will be like a mountain that cannot be removed no matter how hard you try.”

"Then are we going to do nothing?" Yukinoshita bit her red lips lightly, as if she was not satisfied with the result.

Su Qing looked gloomy and did not answer her question.

“As you just said, no one is perfect. People will choose to exclude those excellent people out of jealousy, but that is only because of the gap between them and the excellent people. In their opinion, they can do it if they grit their teeth.

But what if the gap between you is like a chasm? They will admire you, respect you, and even regard it as a great honor to have been your classmate. They may not feel guilty about what they have done, but it doesn’t matter. They will only brag to outsiders that they once knew you, what they said to you, and what they did together. "

"Are you going to view this exclusion as an opportunity to hone yourself and spur yourself to constantly break through your own limits?" Yukinoshita understood what Su Qing meant and murmured.

"Yukinoshita, we have no way to choose our environment, nor do we have the choice to change it. Many times we are helpless, so all we need to do is change ourselves.

Maybe you are very good, but one day you will encounter something that you cannot solve by yourself. At that time, try to seek help from others. As I said that day, I will lend a hand and complete your commission. "

After saying that, Su Qing looked at Hikigaya standing aside.

"Hikigaya, you too."

"Oh...thank you." Hikigaya was touched. He had never felt such sincere words from others. Although Su Qing was a little mean, he was undoubtedly his best friend!

"What about you? Why do you do this?" Yukinoshita did not refute Su Qing's point of view, but asked about the motivation behind the other party's behavior.

Is there any need to think about it? Because I am kind!

"Because I think you are all very interesting." Su Qing said with a smile.
