After reading work about Hachiman's high school life. His homeroom teacher, Shizuka Hiratsuka, doesn't like Hachiman's general view of adolescence and typical high school life. As punishment for writing such a silly essay, the teacher decided to join the service club to change his stereotypical view of high school life. The most colorful in the class. Shizuka wants him to join the club and change clubs, but Yukino refuses because he fears for her life even when Hachiman's gaze tries to turn away from her. Yukino reconsiders and allows him to join the club, while Shizuka leaves the room. Hachiman at first tried to innimate Yukino but back down, she'd later told him to sit, he would later grab a seat. After a moment of silence, Hachiman asked what bat he had. At first, Hachiman guessed that it was a literal club since there was nothing in the classroom, but he was wrong. Yukino explains that their club is known as the Service Club and plans to solve his problem, but Hachiman finds this irritating and thinks he is handsome, but what? He brought up placement in Japan’s ability tests, and even though he didn't have friends and girlfriends, he feels that he was in the high league. Yukino would find that impressive as he speaks confidently and amuses that his loneliness is due to his pride and sensitivity and demeanor. the eyes of the beholder. Although he didn’t like her opinion, but considers that she is making some sense. Concluding their simulation test much to his confusion, she states that if he can hold a conversation with girls like her then he could a conversation with anyone, and asks if she’d fixed him. Hachiman states that it isn’t that he can’t talk to people but he just doesn’t make any small talk and doesn’t need to be fixed. Although she finds that he’s on at a level fitting into society being difficult, Shizuka would enter the room and notes that she was having trouble with him. Yukino stated that Hachiman isn’t aware of him having a problem although he denies it, having an issue with how people tell him to change and that he doesn’t want anyone to tell him who to be, Yukino would find that’s how people run from their problems although Hahciman counter by saying that changing is a way of running from problems and that people should just accept those as they are. Although Yukino finds that wouldn’t solve anything or save anyone. Shizuka would propose a shown between the two where the loser must do anything that the winner requests them, although Yukino was to decline as having Hachiman as her opponent makes her fear for her life although Hahciman finds that offensive. But would accept after Shizuka had convinced Yukino to accept the challenge, although Hachiman didn’t get a say.

The next day, at the service club room Yukino was surprised to see that Hachiman came back to the club room, she would ask him questions that he would deny. Something that Hachiman would find her overconfidence weird, guessing that she doesn’t have any friends although she wants him to define friends. Hachiman would discover that Yukino like him who is also a loner with no friends. After hearing her story and her desire to change people. Something that Hachiman would find as too much effort in a crazy cause. Yukino's response is that he finds Hachiman’s meaning of existence to fade away better something she hates is that he turns his weakness into something positive. At that moment, Hachiman would note how Yukino carries those feelings of someone who doesn’t have anything and thinks that she’s different and that she wouldn’t lie to herself, and thinks that there alike. He tries to ask to be her friend but she rejects him before he finishes the question. They would later bet by Yui Yuigahama from Hachiman’s class. A name that Yukino would know, Hachiman would ask her if she memories all the names of every student although she would deny this as she didn’t know his name and uses sarcasm on him.

Although they would see Yui had failed to bake cookies. Both Yukino and Hachiman would be surprised to hear when Yui calls Yukino so cool which causes Yui to want to try again, Hachiman would ask Yukino to teach her again, but she fails again. Hachiman would ask why they were trying to bake cookies that tasted good something that Yukino would question. And he tells them to come back to the room in 10 minutes, and later he would present the same cookies and they would taste them. After telling them a story (that was in his past) something that Yukino notes he tries to use reverse psychology to fulfill Yui's request. The following week Yukino would ask Hachiman if they did the right thing on handling Yui’s request. Yukino would state that Hachiman should challenge his own limits which she thinks that would have change Yui. Although Hachiman states that people efforts don’t betray those but there dreams even though he states that not all dreams come true through effort and not all come true but if those try there best they can take solace in that, something that Yukino finds to be self sadifaction.
