Hikigaya's Route to Senior High Is Not Normal, As I Expected

Hachiman's POV

...

The new reality was hitting everyone in Class 1-D hard. A lot harder than anyone expected, especially since someone in their class seemed to have known and just accepted it to happen.

As soon as Kei mentioned that it seemed that many in the class had already made their irrational opinions.

Sure, Sudou had mentioned it before, but his actions and words were overshadowed by Hachiman's retort to the camera recording Sudou's brief strike onto Hachiman.

But Kei, who had a large influence on the girls of the class, speaking on this, made the girls rally around her, as they all began to shout at Hachiman the same seniment Kei had stated just now.

Hachiman hated that. "Girls. Rallying around someone once again, using sheer numbers to intimidate me... Honestly, I preferred Sudou trying to sock a punch into my liver than this."

"And also, you are thinking just one person will be able to make a change is stupid. Unless one rules with authority and an iron fist, not one person can change and entire group of people." Hachiman explained outright.

Regardless, Kei had quite an impact on the girls of the class. She was after all dating the most popular boy in the eyes of the girls.

Therefore, she had a lot of influence.

So regardless of what was going on, Hachiman knew it was somewhat pointless. Simply put he was one person over someone influential in the class.

All the while this occurred, Hachiman looked towards Sae, who was in the meantime taking everything in, clearly having a bit of some twisted sense of glee.

Suzune girl seemed to be quietly writing something down, as if trying to calculate everything being told.

"Regardless of questions and confusions, I'm sure everyone remembers the rules of elementary school, how you are not supposed to be late or talk in class? Was this not taught throughout your previous school years?" Sae asked, somewhat demeaning the entire class of their poor performance.

The entire class continued to listen as Sae continued. "I'm sure that nine years ago you learned everything about the rules in class. You mean to tell me you don't nor cannot understand this because I haven't mentioned anything about it?" Sae asked, "If you think the rules of a school only apply when we say, could you say the rules of a road are only cemented when a police officer comes and punishes you?" Sae gave an example of this.

Nobody could really refute what she said, bad behaviour didn't pay.

Hachiman sighed, "We wouldn't receive the private points for free..."

"Exactly. No string attached." Sae cemented that argument. "This school is established by the Japanese government for the expresses purposes of training gifted people?"

Kouenji chuckled, "Of course not. We blew our private points as a bad behaviour, and we will suffer by not receiving any."

Yousuke looked deflated, as Hachiman looked on. Kei looked at the saddened look on Yousuke before she turned back to Hachiman, her stare at Hachiman saying it all.

This was a sentiment shared by most of the girls in his class. Clearly, they held some hatred for Hachiman, blaming him for their apparent situation.

Kei was once again the won to stand up and blame Hachiman.
