章節 276: -272- Wanna have a go?
"Bang————!"
The sound of the volleyball being forcefully hit echoed clearly over the swimming pool.
The ball, hit out with a perfect diagonal line, flew towards Nagumo Miyabi.
That hit, though quite beautiful, should have been easily returned by Nagumo Miyabi given his previously displayed athletic prowess, right?
At least, that's how it seemed to others.
However, the scene imagined by the crowd did not occur.
The volleyball crashed heavily into the water beside Nagumo Miyabi, splashing water everywhere.
Nagumo Miyabi completely ignored the incoming ball, letting the opponent score, his gaze fixed intently on the poolside.
This scene stunned everyone present.
"What's wrong, Nagumo?"
"Is there a problem, Miyabi?"
Nagumo Miyabi's teammates immediately voiced their surprise.
"What's wrong with Nagumo?"
"He seems to be looking over there…"
Outside the pool, the spectators watching Nagumo Miyabi's game were also exchanging puzzled looks and gradually seemed to realize something.
Even Hori's companions noticed.
"Hey, isn't that show-off senpai looking over here?"
"Seems like it…"
"What's up? Is he looking for a fight? I'm always up for it!"
Ike Kanji, Yamauchi Haruki, and Sudou Ken all became simultaneously annoyed.
In contrast, Ichinose Honami, Horikita Suzune, Kushida Kikyou, and Sakura Airi seemed to have discovered something.
"Rather than looking at us…"
"It seems…"
A group of girls turned their gaze to Hori.
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, on the other hand, was watching Nagumo Miyabi, quietly stepping back, seemingly anticipating something, preparing to stay out of it.
In such a situation, Hori met Nagumo Miyabi's gaze, also looking at him.
This made Nagumo Miyabi appear as if he finally confirmed something, revealing a smile.
It wasn't a friendly smile.
That smile was like a child finding a new toy, filled with novelty and excitement.
Then, Nagumo Miyabi exited the game mode, relaxing his tense body.
"Let's take a break."
Such words came from Nagumo Miyabi's mouth.
The indisputable tone was so evident.
And the students participating in the game, whether teammates or opponents, all stopped without hesitation at this seemingly commanding statement.
The scene was completely controlled by Nagumo Miyabi.
Immediately, Nagumo Miyabi, in front of everyone present, came out of the pool and walked powerfully towards Hori.
This also focused everyone's attention on Hori, causing a wave of surprise.
"Hey, isn't that…"
"Yeah…"
The crowd was filled with whispers.
It seemed everyone recognized Hori.
Naturally, Nagumo Miyabi did as well.
"You're Nanaya Hori from Class 1-D, right?"
Nagumo Miyabi stared at Hori standing before him, with a hint of scrutiny in his eyes, and a very direct tone.
This wasn't a question, just a confirmation.
However, it wasn't Hori who responded to Nagumo Miyabi, but Ichinose Honami.
"Hello, Nagumo-senpai, long time no see."
Ichinose Honami greeted Nagumo Miyabi.
After all, Ichinose Honami's entry into the student council was entirely thanks to Nagumo Miyabi's recommendation. Nagumo Miyabi is also set to become the next student council president, making him Ichinose Honami's direct superior. Thus, it would be unreasonable for Ichinose Honami to ignore Nagumo Miyabi.
Likewise, Nagumo Miyabi did not ignore Ichinose Honami.
"Long time no see, Ichinose. We haven't seen each other since the summer break. I didn't expect to see you here. Your swimsuit looks very nice, and your figure is quite impressive."
Nagumo Miyabi responded to Ichinose Honami's greeting with words that carried warmth, praise, politeness, and confidence, exuding a very powerful aura that was almost suffocating.
Perhaps influenced by this aura, the three idiots remained silent, while Horikita Suzune, Kushida Kikyou, and Sakura Airi also focused and prepared themselves.
Only Ayanokouji Kiyotaka retreated to a safe distance, observing everything.
"Thank you for the compliment, Nagumo-senpai." Ichinose Honami smiled slightly, then tentatively asked, "Why isn't Nagumo-senpai continuing the game? It was quite exciting."
"I was just trying to meet everyone's expectations; it wasn't anything remarkable." Nagumo Miyabi said this with a constant smile, then turned to Hori again, "Although I'd love to continue playing, I'm more interested in Nanaya-san. I came over to say hello."
Hearing Nagumo Miyabi's words, everyone had only one thought.
It was exactly as they expected.
It was clear to everyone that Nagumo Miyabi was here for Hori.
And he didn't hide this intention at all.
"After all, Nanaya-san has been in the spotlight more than anyone else lately."
Nagumo Miyabi stared directly at Hori as he spoke.
"First-year Nanaya, second-year Nagumo, and third-year Horikita—recently, everyone has been talking about this. I couldn't resist coming to see if the rumored junior is really that impressive."
Nagumo Miyabi was smiling as he spoke, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.
This told Hori that the man in front of him was not merely here out of curiosity.
"I heard you once tied with Horikita-senpai in a race and recently went out for a meal with him. That really surprised me." Nagumo Miyabi continued, "I want to know what makes someone so valued by the usually indifferent Horikita-senpai."
The atmosphere around them changed instantly with Nagumo Miyabi's words.
A hint of tension filled the air, further signaling to everyone that the newcomer was not here with good intentions.
"Judging by your physique, your athletic ability should be pretty good too, right?"
Nagumo Miyabi made a proposal.
"How about it? Wanna have a go? The game isn't over yet."
The implication was clear.
Nagumo Miyabi was inviting Hori to a match.
A water volleyball match.
"Nagumo-senpai..."
Ichinose Honami stepped forward, about to say something, but Nagumo Miyabi interrupted her.
"Don't worry." Nagumo Miyabi interrupted Ichinose Honami gently but with a sneer, "I'll go easy on him."
At that moment, the tension became palpable.
But...
"I'm not interested."
Hori, who hadn't said a word until now, glanced at Nagumo Miyabi and casually dropped this sentence before turning to leave.
"Thud!"
At that moment, a hand grabbed Hori's shoulder tightly, stopping him.
