Chapter 47 47: Horikita Suzune's Personality?

After the idiot trio from the class had all left.

Horikita Suzune packed up her study materials, preparing to leave as well.

Then, realizing there was still a classmate beside her, Horikita Suzune asked in a cold voice, "Ayanokoji, are you still staying here?"

"Horikita, are you leaving?" Ayanokoji's tone was flat, as if he hadn't woken up yet.

"The subjects I intended to instruct have already given up, so there is no need for me to stay any longer."

Mentioning this matter, Horikita Suzune felt a bit angry. She had practically begged these guys to come and study, yet they still maintained such a slack attitude. It really was a waste of time.

"But if anyone in the class drops out, we might not be able to advance to Class A, you know?"

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka used the same rhetoric he had previously used to persuade Horikita. It was precisely this kind of talk that had forced Horikita Suzune to take action and proactively call the annoying idiot trio from her class over for tutoring.

But by the second time this rhetoric was used, Horikita Suzune had already become somewhat immune to it.

"Then I won't lead the class to advance to Class A. Takada from Class A collected 20 million private points in the first month, which means the school must provide a way for individuals to collect 20 million private points."

"Since he was able to collect 20 million private points, I also have the same opportunity to collect the points needed to advance to Class A."

Upon hearing her words, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka retorted in a calm voice, "But last month at the convenience store, you also said you could collect 1.6 million private points, but in the end, you didn't discover anything, right?"

Horikita Suzune furrowed her brows, looking displeased as she said, "I didn't think you still remembered those things. Indeed, last month I was paying attention to whether there were any opportunities to quickly earn private points around me, but I only discovered that the teacher in the swimming class gives 5,000 private points to the winners of the class competition. Other than that, I didn't find any other opportunities to obtain points."

Was that really a discovery? It was clearly something the swimming teacher announced voluntarily.

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka felt speechless, finding it hard to understand how Horikita Suzune could be so confident while knowing nothing.

Just as he was preparing to coax Horikita Suzune into continuing to tutor the idiot trio, someone from another class walked over.

"Suzune-san, I thought I heard someone calling my name just now." Takada Hikaru walked over with a smile. "Do you have any idea about that?"

They had just mentioned Takada Hikaru. Now the person himself had already walked over.

Seeing this, Horikita Suzune didn't feel intimidated. Instead, she frowned, looking somewhat dissatisfied as she said, "Takada-san, eavesdropping on other people's conversations is not a good habit."

Takada Hikaru said with a chuckle, "I wasn't eavesdropping, you know. It's just that you were speaking so loudly that anyone sitting not far away could hear what you were saying."

Horikita Suzune continued, "Then why were you sitting nearby? That doesn't prove you don't have a habit of eavesdropping."

Takada Hikaru pointed to the two girls sitting not far behind him. "I just happened to be nearby helping Chihiro and Kozue from my class with their tutoring, and I heard it was a bit noisy on your side, so I came over to see what was going on."

Upon seeing them, Horikita Suzune knew he wasn't lying, so she let out a soft sigh, "Sorry, we were indeed too loud just now and disturbed your studying."

The library was supposed to be a quiet place for reading. But earlier, Sudō Ken completely failed to read the atmosphere, and on top of that, Suzune had been angered by that group, so the volume they produced was indeed quite loud.

One should properly admit when they have done something wrong. Horikita Suzune was still quite good when it came to being polite.

"Come to think of it, I didn't expect Suzune-san to take the initiative to help classmates with tutoring."

Takada Hikaru smiled slightly, his gaze landing on the brown-haired boy beside her. "Was this a suggestion from Kiyotaka-san?"

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka expressionlessly denied it, "No, this was Horikita's decision. I was just dragged along by her to make up the numbers."

That was a lie but given Horikita's personality, she shouldn't expose it.

Hearing what Hikaru said, Horikita Suzune narrowed her eyes slightly and, crossing her arms, said, "Takada-san, why would you think it was Ayanokoji's suggestion? If I hadn't dragged him over, he would probably just be wasting time in the dormitory right now, rather than spending time studying."

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was a bit speechless. "Horikita, you don't have to be that harsh. I feel quite hurt after hearing that."

"Is that so? Then I really am sorry."

"But judging by your tone, it seems like you have no apology at all."

"That's just your imagination."

After Horikita Suzune finished bickering with the boy beside her, Takada Hikaru finally spoke, "Given Suzune-san's personality, you shouldn't have any thoughts of helping the weak, let alone helping Ken and the others."

"Never mind me, even the Suzune-san from a month ago wouldn't have imagined that the Suzune-san of one month later would take the initiative to help these people, right?"

Horikita Suzune was stunned for a moment.

That actually seemed to make some sense.

In fact, never mind the version of herself from a month ago, even the version of herself from two days ago would never have imagined that the current her would actually take the initiative to tutor Sudō Ken and his group.

But if she admitted it now, she would lose the upper hand in the conversation.

Therefore, she stubbornly said, "I simply started to change my combat style after learning the truth about the school. Although I am indeed reluctant to instruct them, I judge that their strength is necessary to advance to Class A, so I took action to tutor them."

"If you think that I would still maintain my previous course of action after knowing the true nature of this school, then you are greatly mistaken."

Upon hearing her words, Takada Hikaru smiled. "Suzune-san, your mind is very flexible. You are able to come up with a very suitable excuse as a reason in such a short time."

"If it were a stranger, they would probably believe your words. But if it were someone who knows you well, they could probably see through it easily."

Hearing this, Horikita Suzune furrowed her brows, looking somewhat dissatisfied. "Takada-san, judging by what you're saying, it seems like you understand me very well. But we have only met a few times, making judgments about me based on just that impression is far too presumptuous."

Horikita Suzune did not believe that Takada Hikaru had seen through her personality.

"Then please listen to my perspective."

Takada Hikaru said with a smile, "Although I haven't spent much time with Suzune-san, I can feel that you are not someone who gives up easily."

"If it is truly your own initiative to tutor Ken and the others, you wouldn't choose to give up after failing once, but rather continue to persuade them."

Takada Hikaru paused for a moment, then added with a teasing tone, "Or is it that I have indeed misjudged you, and Suzune-san is actually the type who cannot withstand a blow and would give up quickly upon encountering a setback?"
