Kushida maintained a polite smile, but seeing Horikita approaching, she had no choice but to stand up.

"As a class representative, especially a representative of Class D, you still need to have a strong offensive stance."

Nakano Yuu said to Kushida.

"So, Horikita, now let Kushida see your offensive power."

"..."

Horikita.

Although I disagree with some of his statements.

However, Horikita Suzune did indeed get up from the table next to her and walk towards this side.

She knew her duty, so she walked over with sharp, swift steps, like a piercing sword.

"Horikita, huh?"

Classmate Sakayanagi stared at Horikita Suzune, her expression unchanged.

Katsuragi frowned slightly. He only knew of Horikita Suzune, but had no direct contact with her.

And now, he vaguely felt that this Horikita Suzune seemed somewhat familiar. Right, their face shapes seemed to President somewhat similar, and they both had black hair.

Then, both of them share the surname Horikita.

No way.

Katsuragi had a guess.

Horikita Suzune has now come to the table. "In this Sports Festival, our Class D and your Class B are both on Team White. I don't know how much of an advantage the second and third years have, but I do know that it would be very embarrassing if we first-year students didn't achieve good enough results."

"So, what are you trying to say?"

Katsuragi felt that this explanation seemed a bit off.

"Our Class D cannot afford to finish last; that's our bottom line. Even though we got 0 points, it doesn't mean we're completely indifferent to the point deduction. And this isn't something we need to hide; the athletic ability of our Class D students is indeed lacking. Therefore, in the mandatory individual competitions, I hope your Class B can go easy on us."

"At least this will ensure that every student in our Class D gets a score."

"That's what Horikita Suzune said."

"And these two points are the conditions under which we agree to cooperate with your exam."

"..."

Two representatives from Class B.

Even Katsuragi, who thought that Horikita Suzune, whom Nakano Yuu had arranged, might have some offensive capabilities, was stunned.

Even Kushida, who was in the same class, was stunned.

Because.

Horikita, how could you say that so bluntly? Are you basically asking the students in Class B to throw the match?

"Are you... serious?"

Katsuragi looked over in surprise.

"It's... it's just that kind of thing... the kind of things you say--"

Kushida also felt that Horikita's bluntness was rather embarrassing.

However, she wisely refrained from continuing.

"Just like we discussed in the gymnasium, our Class D is going to use the Tian Ji horse racing strategy, dividing the students into seeded players, ordinary players, and cannon fodder. And since it's the cannon fodder group, they naturally won't get many points."

Horikita said.

"The students in Class D not only have poor physical fitness, but they also have poor academic abilities."

"So if the students in Class B had gone easy on our cannon fodder group, then maybe that group wouldn't have been among the bottom ten, and they wouldn't have had 10 points deducted from all their subjects in the next written exam--"

Horikita said, "Take this Sports Festival for example. In the mandatory events, everyone has a chance to score. If the number of students is reduced too much, and then there's an exam that requires a large number of students, then the initial advantage will be weakened. So the final results of the second and third years might not be as good as ours, because they have lost some of their students."

"So we made this judgment after taking these circumstances into consideration."

Horikita said.

His pupils were clear, his gaze cool and aloof.

It seems perfectly legitimate. These requirements were made to prepare for exams and to prevent class members from dropping out.

But.

"Your idea is good, but Class B cannot agree to it."

"Firstly, your requirement of not being at the bottom is a matter of your class's own performance, which we cannot achieve. At most, we will provide you with some subsidies for your usual training."

"And this is the assistance we can get from the upperclassmen. There are some events in the Sports Festival that we haven't tried before, but the upperclassmen have experience, so they'll teach us for free, and naturally they'll guide you as well."

Secondly, regarding the issue of going easy on your class's cannon fodder group, I'm sorry, I cannot do that.

Katsuragi said.

"After all, there are rankings and deductions between grades, and our class cannot put itself in danger. Perhaps giving up some points to you would cause us to fall behind, but I represent the interests of the entire class, and I'm sorry I cannot do that."

"So, what if they're willing to pay you points?"

At this moment, Nakano Yuu spoke.

"For example, what about 100,000 to 150,000 points per person?"

"Then you can get 2 million or 3 million points."

Are you willing to pay points?

Is this a case of paying money to release water?

Katsuragi was somewhat surprised, while Kushida looked as if he had seen a ghost.

Because you're usually the one extorting others, and now you're actually offering to give them something in return?

[Nakano-senpai is probably not planning to pay a cent. So he won't pay.]

However, in Kushida's mind, Amasawa was quickly analyzing the situation.

Clearly, she wouldn't believe what Kushida didn't believe either.

"But he probably didn't pay for it, because the cost must be quite high, and he doesn't seem like the type to do this for the class."

"So, he's asking the students in the class to pay. Even though the class is in this situation, it should work now... because compared to failing, the students will definitely choose to forgo the points worth 100,000 to 150,000."

Kushida was also thinking quickly.

"Through the previous Island Exam and VIP Exam, everyone has accumulated a certain number of points, so they can afford this price now."

"But."

But if the students in the class gave money, what does that have to do with Nakano Yuu? Why would he be so kind?

Kushida didn't believe it at all.

Amasawa, the junior student, shared the same idea. However, she did come up with a plan.

[I think Nakano-senpai might have wanted to act as a mediator, giving Katsuragi- senpai and the others these points, but he wanted to pocket them. However, that doesn't quite make sense. Even though the students in Class D gained some points in the Uninhabited Island Exam and the VIP Exam, they only have around 150,000 points now, so they can already give them what they can afford. But Nakano-senpai didn't negotiate at all, so there's only one reason.]

Amasawa, the junior student, said.

[Nakano-senpai wants to get something for free. He's not acting as a mediator; he plans to collect money from the students in his class. However, he won't use points to trade with Class B; he'll find other alternatives.]

Amasawa, a junior student, added.

Clearly, she understood why Senior Nakano had tried to recruit his students to run a free room service business before heading to the Uninhabited Island Exam, or why he had directly sold off the class's base points and distributed them to his students during the Island Exam.

So that's where it was.

Although it brought points to the class, these points do not belong to the students in Class D.

He will take it back.

So that was his wallet.

Amasawa Ichika always thought that Nakano Yuu was also from the future, just like her, meaning that the other party was a second-year student in his complete form.

And now, is this fully-formed second-year student really that terrifying?!

P. S.: 11,500 words today, 7,500 words to pay off debt, still 144,000 words owed, time flies!

Chapter 106 Sports Festival, organized by Kushida, a freebie!

Just as Amasawa- senpai had said, Kushida soon discovered that things were indeed developing as the other party had predicted.

For example, like this.

"I have quite a few students in my class who are both academically and athletically weak. I can assure you that at least 10 students will be willing to spend 150,000 points to buy a security measure."

"Nakano Yuu said."

In other words, if they agree, Class B can recoup 2-3 million points.

For Class B, who had completely paid off their debt from purchasing supplies on the Uninhabited Island this month, they really didn't have many points left.

Therefore, given the current predicament of the students in Class D, it seems like it would be good to provide some supplementary information.

"If it's just a simple concession, it might not be difficult. My students can withdraw, and as long as you're in the same 'cannon fodder' group and finish the race, you'll get a ranking and points."

"However, our class's goal in the grade rankings is still to compete for first place, so we won't make a decision lightly."

Katsuragi said.

Clearly, Katsuragi was still somewhat hesitant.

Although he could recycle points, he wasn't the kind of person who only cared about those things.

Thinking this, he looked at Sakayanagi, Sakayanagi didn't react and remained as cute as ever.

That means we're simply in a wait-and-see mode.

However, Katsuragi was somewhat surprised, because although Sakayanagi was wearing her uniform as usual, she seemed to look more refined than she usually does in class.

If I had to describe it, it would probably be like the girl dressed up.

So why dress up specifically if you're just here to watch? Or are you here to make a scene? He'd heard his classmates discuss more than once how many beautiful girls were in Class D.

Kushida is indeed a rare beauty. And what's more, Nakano Yuu brought the even more beautiful Horikita Suzune with her. So, their Class B has nothing, which is indeed not good.

That was indeed a oversight on his part.

"..."

Katsuragi.

But Katsuragi felt it shouldn't be like this.

However, it's best not to try to guess what girls are thinking. What he needs to do now is to stabilize the Sports Festival, lead the class to a promotion, and then truly gain control of the exams from Sakayanagi.

It's not surprising that Katsuragi has such confidence.

After all, among the four classes, their class was the original Class A, which meant it was the class with the strongest overall strength recognized by the school.

Therefore, it is an inherent advantage. The Class 2-B, which is in the same group, is also from the original Class A, representing the strongest strength in that grade.

The class representative of Class 3-B also sent him a message at noon, saying that they would go all out in this exam. It can be said that the strength of the red and white camps is evenly matched in this exam. According to the information gathered, the strength gap between the upper grades C Class D is not that big. Therefore, in this competition, the White Group even showed more advantages because they have two original Class A.

So.

They were determined to succeed in this exam.

Therefore, the White Group has a high chance of gaining 200 points.

Once they gain points, Ichinose Class, which was placed in the opposing team, will drop out. Therefore, if Katsuragi and his team get first place in the grade rankings, they can guarantee their return to Class A.

Therefore, Katsuragi wouldn't do anything reckless for such petty gains.

He would never forgive himself for missing out on first place in the grade rankings by just a few points.

"I have no choice but to refuse you."

Katsuragi said decisively.

Upon hearing Katsuragi's words, Horikita looked at Nakano Yuu.
