First Gymnasium.
Students from all three grades of the school gathered here, according to the Red Team and White Team camps.
Red Team: Class A, Class D.
White Team: Class B, Class C.
This grouping itself is full of school malice. Bundling the best Class A with Class D who is regarded as Flawed Product.
Combining Class B and Class C, who are similar in strength, is undoubtedly a test of the chemical reaction between each class.
Horikita Suzune stood in the queue of Class D, and was out of tune with the nervous Class D students around him.
Her eyes traveled around Gymnasium, passing through the noisy crowd and passing by the faces of the senior students.
No.
There is no that familiar figure.
Horikita Manabu does not appear here.
"... Same."
Horikita Suzune whispered to himself in his heart.
As Student Council President, it was natural for him not to participate in the command of a specific group, but this rational judgment did not completely eliminate the loss in her heart.
"Ahem."
Standing at the front of the Red Team assembly team was a tall third-grade boy.
"Everyone, be quiet."
"I am Fujimaki from Third Year Class A, and I am in charge of the general command of Sports Festival Red Team."
Without any unnecessary pleasantries, he went straight to the point.
"Although the school officially calls it 'Sports Festival', it packages it as a celebration to promote friendship and sweat..."
Fujimaki paused and his tone became heavy, "But as those of you who have survived in This School, you should be very aware of This School's urinary properties."
"This is an exam. A competition disguised as sports."
His words were like a basin of cold water poured on the heads of those first-year students who still had the "just for fun" mentality.
"So, put away your naive ideas and be as mentally prepared as possible. According to the rules, except for the final relay race, which is a cross-grade melee, most of the remaining events are internal confrontations among the respective grades."
"In other words, although we are a whole called 'Red Team', the specific outcome depends largely on the performance of each grade. Now, each grade will be discussed separately."
With the disbandment, the first-year students Class A and Class D found an open space in a corner of Gymnasium.
The atmosphere is a bit subtle.
On one side is the Class A elite who looks confident and even a little arrogant.
On one side is Class D, whose aura is obviously weaker.
"Then, let's discuss this Cooperation Policy first."
The one who broke the silence was Katsuragi Kouhei from Class A.
He stood in the center of the crowd, his iconic Bald Head and calm temperament making him look mature far beyond his peers.
"I am Katsuragi from Class A."
Katsuragi looked in the direction of Class D, and his eyes fell on Hirata Yosuke.
He knows very well who the Leader person in this class is who can communicate normally and effectively.
"I am Hirata from Class D."
Hirata Yosuke greeted him with a gentle smile.
"Please give me more advice, Katsuragi."
The two held hands together.
"Although our usual positions are different, we are even competitors."
Katsuragi said seriously, "But during this Sports Festival period, we are partners. I hope to establish an effective cooperation mechanism with Class D."
"Of course."
Hirata nodded, with sincere eyes, "Class D also very much hopes to contribute to Red Team. As long as we can do it, we will fully cooperate."
"So... the top priority now is to confirm everyone's entries..."
While the "establishment of diplomatic relations" here is still going on.
suddenly.
"Huh? Cooperation?"
An extremely arrogant voice came from not far away, instantly attracting the attention of the people around him.
"I'm not interested in that kind of weak man's game."
The students of Class A and Class D turned their heads one after another and looked to the other side of Gymnasium... that was where White Team gathered.
I saw Ryuen Kakeru with his hands in his trouser pockets, and his carefree look was in sharp contrast to the students around him who were discussing seriously.
And standing opposite him was none other than Ichinose Honami of Class B.
"Ryuen..."
Ichinose Honami took a deep breath and tried to maintain rational communication, "Please think about it again. You have also seen the rules of Sports Festival this time. If we don't arrange tactics, we will be very passive in the face of the cooperation between Class A and Class D."
"This is not only for Class B, but also for Class C to get a better ranking..."
"Stop talking nonsense to me."
Ryuen Kakeru simply had no patience to listen to her long speech and interrupted her directly.
"Ichinose, did you make something wrong?"
"I came here to win. I came here to crush other classes under my feet."
Ryuen sneered, as if he heard some big joke.
"Cooperation? Exchange of information? That kind of thing will only tie my hands and feet."
After saying that, he turned around without giving Ichinose a chance to refute.
"Let's go. Only fools would be here Waste of Time, let's go do something more meaningful."
The whole Class C swaggered towards the door of Gymnasium.
All that was left to Ichinose Honami and Class B was their extremely arrogant back.
"This... this is too..."
Student of Class B looked at each other with helplessness written on their faces.
"Ichinose..."
Kanzaki Ryuji frowned and walked to Ichinose, "Now we're in trouble. If Class C doesn't cooperate or even acts randomly, our chances of winning..."
"I know."
Ichinose Honami looked at the direction Class C was leaving, with his hands hanging by his sides tightly clenched into fists.
And on the Red Team side.
Seeing this farce, Class A and Class D had different reactions.
"What a madman."
"But it's okay, they are fighting among themselves, which is beneficial to us."
While a few people were chatting, someone suddenly saw a person behind Class A.
There are some folding chairs there.
Sitting on one of the chairs was a girl as delicate as a porcelain doll.
The silver-white short hair reflects the luster under the Gymnasium light, and the lavender eyes always have an expression that seems to be smiling but not smiling.
This is what Katsuragi Kouhei saw.
"Excuse me for a moment."
Katsuragi Kouhei turned sideways and signaled to Class D, Hirata Yosuke and others.
"I think it is necessary to introduce. This is Sakayanagi Arisu."
"Although due to physical reasons, she cannot participate in any Competition Events."
Following Katsuragi's introduction, Class D everyone's eyes fell on the girl.
"Wow... so cute..."
I don't know who made such an exclamation first.
Immediately afterwards, similar whispers spread among the Class D crowd.
"It really looks like a doll."
"She looks so weak, she feels like she will fall over if the wind blows."
For most ordinary students of Class D, they do not understand the internal struggles of Class A, nor do they understand the scheming of this girl known as the "genius".
