Chapter 220: Chapter 225 + 226
"Did something happen?" At this moment, a voice came over.
However, President Manabu did not come alone. He probably patrolled with his secretary Tachibana Akane.
It was just that his girlfriend stood there, and he walked over on his own.
He pushed up his glasses slightly.
"Nii-san...." Suzune raised her head, "Actually, I ran into trouble on two legs," she thought for a moment and finally gulped down a lump inside her throat.
"The student I am partnering with is slower than me. I hope other party can speed up to catch up with me, but Hikigaya-kun taught me how to cooperate with others...."
"But doing that means I also have to slow down my speed. If I focus on the other party, then combat power of 2 two of us will be reduced. For example, I will not be able to use my speed...."
"...." Manabu learned.
Even Suzune deliberately called Hikigaya-kun just now.
After listening to the question narrated by his sister, Manabu seemed to be silent for a moment.
But Tachibana, who had learned from her dreamy boyfriend, felt that no one was more suitable to answer this question than President Horikita-kun.
President is very good, but the classmates around him are holding back!
Many times when you can gain a lot of points and scores, but only watch the opportunity disappear.
And even the current advantage of evaluation scores has been compressed.
Grade 3
Class A 2154 points
Class B 1530 points
Class C 310 points
Class D 255 points
And the whole-grade sports meeting also puts some pressure on their 3rd graders.
Because maximum gap can be opened up to 800 points.
Their 3rd-grade class A has the largest number of 40 students, compared to other classes where there are dropouts.
And, 9 events that must be participated, it can be ensured that score in this battle will definitely be advantageous.
And with President Manabu here, their class's score will not be lost.
Then Red and white confrontation will naturally acquire +200 points.
Class is still safe.
Only, President Manabu is very good, but there is no doubt that some of the classmates around him are holding him back.
Plus he did not abandon any of his classmates.
So topic is indeed the one Manabu is best suited to answer for his sister.
Because guy is too strong, but the students around him are just average!
Thud!
"Normally speaking, it's two people with three legs. There will definitely be a combination of a fast person paired with a slow."
Suzune listened with both ears upwards more than usual.
"First of all, it is definitely impossible to let the slow person cooperate with the fast, because it can't be done. There are limits to human potential."
Fuck....Suzune was shot first!
Only, Hachiman had already taught her a lesson, so Suzune continued to listen.
"And it's easiest to have the fast team up with the slow ones. But it can also easily cause problems, that is, 2 of them are bound together. If the slower person is main player, then probably won't get a good ranking when competing together."
Suzune just nodded again like a dead person with no voice left inside.
Manabu continued to explain.
"But if there is a tacit understanding between people who can cooperate, then even if it is a slower speed, they will not necessarily lose."
Tachibana drooled just like a pervert she was.
"Because 3-legged test of two people, apart from their physical fitness, is their mutual understanding."
"Okay...."
It should be said that Manabu is indeed the elder brother.
Seeing that her brother seemed to be leaving with Akane Tachibana-senpai again, Suzune asked quickly.
"Then, Nii-san, can you answer my other question?"
Um? Manabu turned his head.
"Hikigaya-kun seems to be planning to leave the class after accumulating 20 million points!"
"...." Manabu was left shocked.
Bloody hell....20 million?
As the Student council president, he knew that Sakayanagi had already met this requirement.
'And Hikigaya Hachiman, the points you have are not low either!'
If the other party saves enough 20 million, threshold for a solo career is very likely to be achieved.
"Are you here to inform me about this?" Manabu looked at his sister, who had already told that she would no longer chase after him.
It looks transparent.
But now she seems to be confused.
"Suzune, you said Hikigaya is going to collect 20 million and left the class, but what you really want to ask is, Hikigaya-kun, are you just going to give up and leave?" Manabu's sister and Hachiman are in the same class, but he wants to skip classes.
This can also be understood as the other party going solo, abandoning...
"...." Horikita Suzune.
'This made my sister raise her head after hearing this.'
There seemed to be a hint of confusion in her usually bright eyes.
"You are too dependent on him. So, you can't accept that other party will abandon you and leave home. But it's not like there is no plan. And if he leaves and becomes a presence that people cannot ignore, then he will also look back."
"Is there an existence that cannot be ignored?" Suzune now seemed to feel pressured by these words.
"Yes...." Manabu gave a relic smile, which made Tachibana blush to her neck, "And if the other person doesn't look back, but can do it [know the reason and understand him] and catch up, then you will grow."
After saying that, he took Tachibana and left here, leaving behind his sister who was thinking about his words.
Tachibana, who was catching up with Manabu, seemed a little curious.
"Is that girl Horikita-kun's sister?"
Suzune and Manabu are very similar in appearance, they both have black hair and same color pupils.
Although Tachibana is the secretary of Horikita Academy, she is also a classmate.
She is relatively close to Manabu or one of the few people in the class who can help him.
"Suzune came here chasing me. Although she said she no longer wanted to chase my back, she didn't seem to react and now chasing Hikigaya's back."
"And I'm graduating this year."
"A little headache——"
"My sister is mostly alone, and she only knows family affection. In the past, she relied on me, but now she relies on Hikigaya. So when girl knows that other person is really going to fly solo, now feels confused."
"Isn't it dangerous then?!" Because it's just like falling in love with someone else and not knowing it altogether!
"Maybe. But Hikigaya is not a bad person, he is very measured. So nothing bad should happen."
Then Hikigaya, who had been approved by President Manabu, went to his sister's room.
"If your brother says that, he will suffer a loss sooner or later!" Hachiman asked Suzune to figure out how to cooperate with others.
Now, she gave Manabu's answer.
He did not agree with this plan.
Because this solution is just a method with no choice.
If two people want to achieve results with three legs, cooperation is needed, but the most important thing is the strength of themselves and their partners.
If you are strong enough, you can take off with your partner, but if your partner cannot cooperate, then you don't have to accommodate the one who is not fast, but change to a faster guy.....
But this means that although Horikita Manabu is the Student council president and Representative of Class A of the third grade, he is not a fierce person like Sakayanagi who can give up decisively.
It's an enhanced version of Ichinose.
It is very excellent in all aspects, as if cheating, but essence has not been different in the slightest.
That is Our Lady.
He was surrounded by classmates who were not as good as him, but he never gave up on any of them and accommodated every person.
This kind of behavior can win people's hearts, but it is also the weakest.
This is also the reason why Hachiman targeted Class A and then ignored Class B in agreement with Sakayanagi.
Because it is difficult for Our Lady to win.
Not giving up any student will be an obstacle for them to pass the level.
'Even though Horikita-nii's class still has an advantage, the idea of not giving up on any of his classmates will become a poison that hinders his class!'
"Dong dong dong——"
At this time Suzune's doorbell rang.
Hachiman has been here, even both Kushida and Karuizawa, and it has become a base for exclusive discussions.
This time it was Kushida who arrived.
As a little spy for this sports meeting, she brought a message.
"Ryuen-kun has made arrangements for this sports meeting....He will target Sudo-kun!"
There is nothing surprising about this.
After Koenji gave up, Sudo became the strongest fighting force of Class B.
In a normal competition, Ryuen's class couldn't find anyone who could beat Sudo, there must be some manipulation.
"Then, he will also target our Horikita-san!"
"???" Suzune
"He arranged for the seeded players to compete in the same event as Horikita-san, and then deliberately let his own athletes get injured because of her, preparing to frame your ass!"
'Make up your damn mind, there is something very wrong with your words just now!' Hachiman was complaining like crazy in his heart.

Chapter 226
"Then, he will also target our Horikita-san!"
'I got the information from Kushida....'Ryuen will target Class B, with the goal of knocking us down. However, he did not use any legitimate means, but only targeted two people from Class B, one was Sudo and the other was Horikita.'
"But why is it me?!" Suzune felt incredible.
Because Kushida also leaked to Ryuen not only the entry form but also everyone's physical test data.
Hachiman arranged for Karuizawa and the others to type this data into Excel, making it easier to view and leak.
So, Ryuen should be able to see their trump card.
As for Sudo, this is not surprising to anyone.
But when it comes to her...
You must know that among girls, Suzune's physical test data can only be ranked second.
The first is Onodera who has experience in track and field club in the past.
Onodera is a girl with short hair who can only be described as average in appearance, but her skin color is slightly dark, and she looks healthy and has been training regularly.
Belong to professionals.
So although Suzune is very proud, she also knows that she is not as good as the other person.
"If Sudo is screwed, then mixed-gender two-person three-legged plan of our class formed by him and Onodera will only fail...."
"How on earth are you so calm?!"
"Don't panic you idiot, Ryuen has no need to take action against Onodera!"
"Then why target me?!"
"Maybe you are richer."
"• •"
"I think your brain has collapsed due to shock...."
"No, why did you even think of stuff like that?! During VIP treatment test, I took away Ryuen's 10 million. Do you still remember this?"
".....Yeah." x2
Suzune and Kushida nodded at the same time once more.
"Ryuen must have felt that we still had money, so he framed Horikita probably in the hope of a private settlement and making her pay for it.....After all, Ryuen paid a high price for leader's name of Class A in Island exam, and then he didn't make a penny in VIP exam, so he is very poor now...."
"• •"
Kushida stared with big eyes. 'So, Ryuen-kun didn't actually get a penny from the preferential VIP test?'
Although 2 of them knew that Hachiman and Sakayanagi had teamed up to deceive Ryuen, they never expected that he would look so arrogant in the previous test but ended up not receiving a penny.
"Ryuen-kun's plan was to arrange for a seeded runner to deliberately shout Horikita-san's name in middle of the race in the 200 meters of the girls' event, attracting her attention, and then deliberately make the two fall together. Then Ryuen-kun followed up. He will use the same method he used against Sudo-kun to secretly aggravate her injuries and frame Horikita-san."
Kushida honestly told the information she knew, "But he didn't say how to target Sudo-kun! And if Horikita-san doesn't want to take the blame, then just ignore the people arranged by him...."
Kushida is being too much helpful right now.
If easy to be cheated on the field, but now you know the opponent's methods, then way to deal with it can be very simple.
But at this moment, Suzune's teachings from her brother suddenly appeared in mind.
[One day you will understand him]
"...." Suzune wants to grow.
After enrolling in school, when her brother arranged to study Hachiman, she felt that she might be able to learn a lot from him.
But it's only been 3 months now, and his wings are already full, can even go to other classes at any time.
But she just left where she was.
In other words, she hasn't grown much.
"I don't think this is appropriate. Since Ryuen-kun arranged a plan, if I immediately saw through it, can easily aroused his wariness. And Ryuen-kun can target my event, which is the 200-meter race. If he can use black methods to attack Sudo-kun, it will at least involve a large group of melees, tug-of-war, reverse pole competitions, etc. Both of these projects are way ahead of me. So if I see through it, may cause Ryuen-kun to be wary, and then our layout will be invalid."
Teachers also distributed the arrangements for the sports meeting, including the order of appearance.
First carry out the mandatory projects arranged by all staff.
Of course, among the compulsorily arranged projects, simple projects come first, and those which require cooperation or large group actions and results are arranged later.
Events that Ryuen can target against Sudo are indeed inverted stroke competitions.
"Then what are you going to do?" Hachiman now looked at Suzune with an expected....
Kushida played steadily.
But Suzune seems to be a little different.
"Pretending not to know anything, and taking advantage of the situation!"
"Is this all?"
"Not just that. I will keep phone on my body and turn on the recording mode. This way, if Ryuen-kun blackmails me later, I will have evidence to protect myself!"
Then it turns general's plan into a bitter soup.
"This method is feasible."
After the 200-meter race, Suzune's remaining events are the two-person three-legged match with Karuizawa, pitching competition, and the 1,200-meter relay race.
Although, being the second fastest among girls, she is not without alternatives.
.....Chiaki Matsushita, a person with hidden strength, may be able to pull it out.
It would be impossible for her not to show her strength when she is lagging behind in the class.
And once shows her strength, she can pass the next exam.
Seems like a win-win.
"Isn't this plan possible?" Suzune looked uneasy as Hachiman seemed to be silent for a long time.
"Nothing, you did pretty well. Being flexible is a good thing..."
"Then why aren't you moving your body or something....It looks plain!" Suzune is quite brave now.
In this way, After the arrangements were made, Hachiman also returned to his room.
As time passed, Class B's training also began to enter a hard and crazy training stage.
It's not just those extra gym classes.
Even after school in the afternoon, they need to spend more than 2 hours training.
This kind of life obviously makes many boys complain.
However, because the girls knew that pressure was on the boys, they did not relax.
Instead, they trained together at the urging of Kushida and Karuizawa.
In order not to be embarrassed in front of the girls, boys gritted their teeth and persisted.
"I told you it's not like this!"
"Yamauchi! When running, you need to pay attention to your breathing method. You have to inhale and exhale after every three steps, so that you can run longer!"
"Keep it up! You're almost ready to break through!"
After Koenji gave up, he became the strongest person in Class B in sports.
Unsurprisingly, Ken Sudo has become the most authoritative person in Class B, and has been carefully guiding other students in their training.
He also has a sense of collective honor.
In the past, due to his personality, he had never been able to integrate into other people's circles, and even made people fear him.
So this time, he also wanted to change his image in other people's minds.
"Even if you say so!" Yamauchi complained while running, "Three steps, one inhale, three steps, one exhale. How can it be so strict?!"
When running, you have to always think about controlling your breathing and watch the road to be careful about falling.
You also have to find a way to surpass the person in front of you.
This was really a bit difficult for him.
"Sudo-kun is also very serious." Suzune just watched from the side and couldn't help but sigh.
"Who says it's not? But people need to be relied on after all, and Sudo has been isolated from others in the past, so he will cherish the days when he is relied on like this even more."
'.....Humans are social animals and instinctively want to be with other people. If you are admired by others, you will also become happy. Sudo Ken is no exception.'
"Have you handed in the registration form?" Hachiman asked suddenly.
There are less than two days left before the sports festival.
Although the projects that each student participated in have been informed to the students early on, entry forms have been protected and not submitted.
"Not yet." Suzune talked very softly, "Although it is unlikely that teacher will cheat, in order to prevent the list from being leaked and being targeted, I plan to wait until the last day before submitting it."
"Fuck off, what are you looking at?!"
A boy ran off sacred who is very conspicuously peeking at the couple.
"I swear these guys....."
"Where do such people come from, anyway?!"
"Don't know....." Hachiman just sighed heavily, but his eyes secretly glanced at the little angel Kushida who was standing with girls on the other side, cheering the boys on.
The sweet angelic smile on the girl's face was enough to rejuvenate the already exhausted Yamauchi.
It was like taking a shot of chicken blood, surpassing the person in front.
Kushida is a spy in class this time, so she has to maintain her good person image.
However, the exchanges and conversations between Hachiman and Suzune were a bit explicit.
There was nothing they could do about it.
They couldn't learn from Kushida's natural acting.
According to Kushida's information, both Class A and D were violently attacking the students during this period.
'I want to place a spy in Class B.....' Thoughts of others right now.
There was nothing that could be done about it, and Ryūen wanted revenge.
Class A, on the other hand, felt uneasy because Hachiman's class was catching up.
There were probably three or four bribed people in the class.
So, this is a show for these spies.
And on the playground.
"Wow! Yamauchi, please take your medicine!"
"I-I really can't do it anymore!"
The otaku Sotomura was panting and bent over, and his speed was getting slower and slower.
Long-distance running is really not something humans do.
"Sotomura-kun, come on!"
Outside the court, Kushida put her hands in front of her mouth like a trumpet, loudly encouraging the boys who were training hard.
"Ah.... huh!"
Sotomura looked in Kushida's direction, looking at the girl's encouraging eyes, and for a moment he seemed to be filled with some strange power.
"Ahhh!"
Then, he shouted all the way past Yamauchi.
"Wtf!! You guys should take your medicine!"
The overall condition of Class B looks pretty good.
