In business, '難しいです' is often a code for 'no'. It is rarely followed by a 'but' because the 'no' is already understood. Students often use '難しいです' to express that they don't understand a concept, which is a signal for the teacher to explain again. Using this phrase helps maintain 'wa' (harmony) by avoiding direct confrontation.
