But that doesn't matter.
Because everyone has worked hard together and traveled such a long distance together, we are destined to be here.
and have a common goal.
As one of them, he also hopes to work with everyone towards the graduation result of Class A.
So.
He will wait, and he will responsibly catch up to the distance his classmates have lost.
"It would be boring if I ran away first."
Oreki classmate said.
At the same time, he called up the system prompts.
[Task requirement: Defeat Miyabi Nagumo in the 1200-meter all-grade relay]
[Task deadline: Sports Festival today]
[Task penalty: Deduction of 100,000 Private Points]
[Task reward: Equivalent exchange of special abilities]
Oreki classmate clicked on the reward of the task in a calm mood.
[Equivalent exchange: The function is to exchange things for objects "equally" through the values of recent civilization. The price difference can be within 10%, controllable, and has no defects. It can be used on people, but the default value of the human body is zero, so it is usually exchanged for something of the same value as the clothes on the target person.]
Hmm.
This Side Quest is still so reassuring.
It's not that the penalty is very low, it's just a drizzle of 100,000 points, but the goal is to defeat Nagumo, and Nagumo is already ahead, so all he has to do is catch up and surpass him.
But.
"Speaking of which, I just saw it." Oreki classmate did not forget his goal. "Your sister."
"..." Manabu Horikita. "Well, I saw that she works very hard."
"I thought she had quit midway."
In other words, he was actually concerned about the fact that his sister was injured during the 200 meters.
"That's just a trick." said classmate Oreki. "Class C's entry form was leaked, and the students in the class really can't help it."
"Oh."
"That's it."
"But in the end, being able to send out Kōenji and Sudou also shows that something has been achieved, right?" Manabu Horikita said.
As Student Council President, he knows the mechanism of this school very well.
At the same time, I also know how bad Class D is.
But.
This year's students are eye-catching.
From Class A to Oreki, Yanagi, Katsuragi, to Ryuuen, Ichinose, Kōenji, and so on.
Compared with previous years, they all appear to be even more outstanding.
"But it's a pity, because they will lose in this 1200-meter relay race." said classmate Oreki.
"But it's not bad, isn't it?"
Manabu Horikita said. "They have shown their strength."
"I have always thought that students from this school are selected and submitted."
"And in the end, only Class A graduates can have the promise that the school can fulfill."
"However, if students can persevere in this school, they will be different from students outside the world when they graduate, enter the society, go to school, or work. They will have more solutions and experience when dealing with difficulties in life, work, and school."
"Special Exam is very difficult and complicated, but after experiencing it, you can learn thinking patterns, solutions, unity and cooperation, etc. These are valuable assets for the students."
"So I have never been able to agree with Nagumo's philosophy." Manabu Horikita said.
The philosophy of Nagumo is that strength comes first, and students who are not strong enough are directly excluded.
Those who have strength will climb up.
And this almost means giving up Class D or Class C.
This is something Manabu Horikita absolutely disagrees with.
"..."
And because you have this kind of thought, you are called the best Student Council President.
Oreki classmate thought in his mind.
But now Horikita's Brother has begun to express his feelings. Does this actually mean that Manabu Horikita is actually quite happy with the answer sheet submitted by Little Sister Horikita?
And for classmate Oreki.
The goal was achieved.
If he chooses Attorney Horikita, then when he comes to visit in the future, Horikita's Brother, a sensible person, will not stand in the way.
Eh.
Interpersonal communication is really not easy, classmate Oreki sighed in his heart.
But it's great that Horikita's Brother is the older brother of classmate Horikita.
Because.
Both of them are similar in that they are easier to fool.
"Oreki classmate--"
While classmate Oreki was thinking about socializing with Horikita Siblings, the fifth stick, Kamuro, had arrived.
But she looked at classmate Oreki in astonishment.
Because although Oreki held the baton in his left hand, classmate Oreki did not run forward immediately.
Instead, he just held the baton and stood aside.
"Thank you for your hard work," said classmate Oreki. "I made an appointment with President Horikita to compete together, so it would be rude to run first now."
"..." Kamuro.
Oh!
Then you are great.
She had run so hard just now, and then managed to shorten the distance by 5 meters.
Did you end up not caring about it at all?
Although he was unhappy, Kamuro did not have an attack.
Then she heard the voice of classmate Oreki.
"You just shortened the distance and exceeded your limit. You have worked very hard Kamuro." said classmate Oreki.
Oh.
That said, I noticed that she tried hard.
So Kamuro, who was in a restored mood, walked aside.
Her fifth stick will be in the way if she continues to stay here.
So Oreki just held the baton and stood there, letting the last batons from other classes pass by.
One or two classes are more than enough.
Not moving at all.
It still maintains the same starting point as Manabu Horikita.
And Manabu Horikita noticed this scene and smiled.
But Oreki's abnormal behavior immediately attracted the audience's attention.
Sensing the strangeness, the audience all looked over.
Class 3-A's belatedly arrived fifth pole Akane Tachibana, who had already fallen to sixth place, also discovered this, so she sprinted over as fast as she could.
When Manabu Horikita and Akane Tachibana handed over the baton, Horikita's Brother finally issued the declaration that Nagumo wanted to issue before.
"This will be the beginning of a new era!"
"Oreki, you can run away as much as you like."
"Even I want to understand the limits of human speed!"
And classmate Oreki turned his head slightly, as if responding to him, but then, he disappeared from sight like the wind.
"Thank you for your hard work. Akane Tachibana You can go and rest."
But here Horikita's Brother grasped the baton and did not drop it.
Before his voice could even finish, his entire figure had already disappeared from Akane Tachibana.
When Akane Tachibana blinked again, he saw that Manabu Horikita was already chasing junior Oreki in front of him like the wind.
But between two breaths, he had already reached the same level as fellow student Oreki.
The two go hand in hand!
"Liar!"
"Horikita classmate, has he been letting everyone down?"
Akane Tachibana is a student in Manabu Horikita's class, and he is also one of the few people in the class who can support and support Manabu Horikita.
And as the secretary specified by Manabu Horikita.
Akane Tachibana feels that he knows Manabu Horikita well enough.
Result...
I just discovered today that Manabu Horikita has been suppressing himself. He is good enough, but he has not fully demonstrated or taken it seriously.
In other words, he has never found anyone in school who can make him completely serious.
"It's really beyond appearances!"
And Kōenji, who had finished the first round and returned to the audience, stared at the field.
"I feel a little regretful," he said. "I shouldn't have taken the first place. I always felt that I was bullying others. So I never wanted to compete with you mortals."
"But now."
"I really want to compete with them!"
"..."
No.
You are already strong.
And the classmates who were in the audience together thought in their hearts.
Kōenji and Class C have always been alone and quite casual.
He was regarded as a problem child by everyone.
But facing the Deserted Island exam, it gave them unbelievable high scores, and then even ran the limit of 25 meters. This caused a huge reaction in the hearts of the students who were poor athletes who had experienced Sports Festival and did not get any good results in the exam.
Kamuro, the fifth rod Class A that had just moved out of the way, stared ahead.
At the same time, she noticed that her phone vibrated.
Sakayanagi Arisu called.
"..." Kamuro.
