The Sports Festival's Organizer Is Kushida-A Free Ride! (Continued)

Clearly, if the other party refuses outright, then it's not her responsibility to deal with it.

Nakano then took over the conversation, saying directly, "If you want to get first place in the grade, then I suggest you try to get more points."

"Get more points?"

Katsuragi looked at him.

Or rather, his eyes were filled with doubt.

Just like the frustrated students in Class D who struggle with sports, while academic ability might improve with extra lessons, it's unrealistic to expect a breakthrough in sports within three weeks; they simply can't run if they can't.

Therefore, Nakano Yuu's statement is also strange.

What does it mean to get even more points?

It's important to understand that the high quality and high standards of the students in Class B will force them to give their all, making it impossible for them to slack off or give up.

"Yes, you can get more points than you did at the beginning."

Nakano Yuu said, "For example, if you know the competition schedule for Class D, you can better arrange your students to get more points."

Is it necessary?

Katsuragi crossed his arms, appearing composed and confident.

As former students of Class A, and now hearing that Class D is full of athletically weak individuals who are even begging them to go easy on them, do they really need to worry about Class D' s strength?

Is it unnecessary?

"Class D's overall strength is definitely not as good as yours, but this year's Class D is different. I'm sure the President of the Student Council said the same thing to you."

"I can speak calmly, "Nakano Yuu said.

Forehead.

But when this was mentioned, Katsuragi suddenly stopped talking.

Even his confidence began to waver, because he suddenly recalled what Nakano Yuu had done at the Student Council last semester.

Not only did he demand the points he hadn't returned, but he also tricked the second-year student and vice President, Nagumo, twice. So, even a second-year student couldn't handle it; what was he so arrogant about?

Katsuragi immediately began to reflect on his actions.

"While sharing the entry forms could help avoid some overlap in related exams, the entry forms are still quite important, and Class B cannot accept the possibility of a leak."

Katsuragi said.

So, did you consider security?

Yes.

It absolutely has to be safe.

If the competition schedule is leaked to other classes in advance, and those classes use a strategy similar to the story of Tian Ji's horse racing to outmaneuver them, then Class B's advantage of overall strength will be lost.

Therefore, Katsuragi's thinking is correct.

But Nakano-kun wanted was for Katsuragi to have ideas about the entry list.

Therefore, he added, "We don't need to see your entry forms. Instead, Class D will prepare the entry forms after the physical fitness tests are arranged, and then we can show them to you."

"And then what?"

He said.

What will happen then?

It definitely offers more possibilities than simply groping in the dark.

The only event where they competed against other grades was the final 1200-meter relay race; the other events were competitions between individual grades.

Therefore, in a competition with four classes, it is naturally more advantageous if two classes have already coordinated their efforts.

Seeing Katsuragi deep in thought, Nakano Yuu added, "For example, when facing the Koenji project, you could have your seeded players avoid it. Or do you really think your students can beat them?"

Koenji?

When Nakano Yuu mentioned the name of the student who had given up on the exam after learning the rules, Horikita's expression remained unchanged, as did Kushida's.

After all, she's an award-winning actress in terms of acting skills.

But.

But deep down, I already understood.

It seems that Nakano-senpai was indeed planning to get free points, having exploited Class B's weakness of wanting to be ranked first in the grade. Therefore, they couldn't refuse the possibility of gaining more points.

Therefore, if they can avoid facing top contenders like Koenji and Sudo, they can score more points in the mandatory or recommended events than they would have gotten from starting with nothing.

[Therefore, this kind of entry form for Class D is very valuable. A price of two to three million is perfectly reasonable.]

Amasawa, a junior student, added.

Yes.

And Kushida finally realized what was happening.

If Class D' s competition form were simply shown to Class B, even if they avoided competing against Koenji or Sudo, Class B could still achieve more points than they initially could.

After all, Koenji is a monster, and Sudo is a monster. Even the students of Class B are not confident of winning, and may even lose.

However, exams are a matter of strategy, so there's no need to confront them head-on.

"So when can you provide this entry form?"

After a moment of contemplation, Katsuragi spoke.

"Our class's physical fitness test will probably be over in the next day or two."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"However, the specific arrangements still need to be adjusted by Kushida, since she is the person in charge of Class D regarding this Sports Festival."

"..."

Kushida.

Kushida noticed Katsuragi looking over and began to mistake her for someone in charge of Class D' s Sports Festival.

"I will try my best to finish it as soon as possible."

Kushida said reliably.

But that's not what I really think.

To be precise, it's an insult.

Kushida had finally gotten the chance to stand on her own, and was feeling quite nervous and cautious, but now she didn't want to talk at all.

And she also realized why Horikita Suzune and Nakano Yuu had been getting so close today.

On one hand, the two had a good relationship, and on the other hand, they had a job coming up; Nakano Yuu had brought Horikita out to earn money.

Of course, now is not the time to focus on these Matoba.

Kushida also sensed that Sakayanagi Arisu from Class B, who was Bystander from the sidelines, seemed to glance in his direction, but quickly looked away.

What's this?

Am I being underestimated?

However, Sakayanagi's gaze quickly fell on Horikita Suzune, but Horikita was the kind of person who didn't care who was looking at her.

So she simply stood there, unmoved by Sakayanagi's gaze.

Kushida felt that, from the perspective of a love rival, Sakayanagi might have realized that Horikita, this "tool," also posed a certain threat.

After all.

It works great!

Like Horikita Suzune just now, when facing Katsuragi and the others, she was like a sharp blade. From this perspective, she is indeed a talented person.

So, isn't Kushida just there to make up the numbers?

So basically, they're not very useful, so even if they're good-looking and have a good personality, it's not of much use.

Hateful!

The discussions between the two sides went smoothly, and Class B was willing to accept Class D' s use of the competition form in exchange for Class B going easy on Class D by using them as cannon fodder.

In mandatory projects, students are arranged to abstain from the program if these "cannon fodder" groups are involved.

Certainly.

Nakano Yuu stated that it should be considered within the scope of the total 2 million points that Class B collected from Class D. However, he wouldn't receive the money; instead, he would receive a participation form.

As for Katsuragi -kun, all he needs is the entry form; nothing else matters.

And.

"I'm showing off that I know about the physical fitness of the students in your class."

Katsuragi made a further request.

"No."

Nakano Yuu said.

"At most, we will only inform you of the list of the top-tier horses and cannon fodder members of Class D."

"Alright."

While I do think the students in Class D are indeed unusual, some are really outrageous, there are also very strong people like Koenji or Sudo.

However, there may be students with high academic abilities who haven't demonstrated strong physical abilities as well.

Let's play it safe for now. And if we can get our top players to avoid Koenji and Sudo, that would be a huge win.

Katsuragi thought to himself.

"Are you planning to send out cannon fodder teams for these recommended projects?"

At this moment, Sakayanagi, who had been observing from the sidelines, seemed to have made up his mind and suddenly spoke up.

She was just an observer, and the arrangements for the recommended projects had already been mentioned by Nakano Yuu in the morning.

It's about sending in the cannon fodder group.

"Yes, that hasn't changed. Getting these students who are willing to accept cannon fodder roles in the Tian Ji horse racing scenario to compromise and agree isn't easy."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"That's such a waste."

But Katsuragi stopped himself from speaking. Although he looked down on some of the students in Class D, he knew that Class D was not easy to deal with. He was afraid that if he didn't offer them the opportunity to participate in the recommended projects, they would have to compromise, even if they didn't get many points in the end.

It can only be said that the lower-ranked classes can only resort to the lower-ranked approach.

Moreover, Class D is very likely to be at the bottom, so having one class at the bottom is a reassuring Matoba for the other classes.

"Out of caution regarding Class C, I think you should also be more careful."

Just before leaving, Katsuragi suddenly said something.

In other words, he also felt that Ryuuen's actions that morning were not simply a matter of giving up on himself.

There's probably some kind of conspiracy involved.

In other words, even though it was Class C, Katsuragi took it to heart, which is a completely different attitude towards Class D. It seems that Katsuragi acknowledges Ryuuen's strength.

Ryuuen's self-destructive behavior was certainly not a casual act.

Meanwhile, Class C, one of the members of the Red Group, was undergoing physical fitness tests on the playground. In the morning, Ryuuen led Class C to evacuate directly from the gymnasium.

This was a very unconventional act, which naturally attracted the attention of other students, especially those in the same group. Some even thought that Class 1-C was hopeless.

And now.

Ryuuen is leading her class in a test.

The Sports Festival has only just begun, and other classes won't start their tests this early. Once they do start testing, students from other classes might see it.

Since the venue is public, Ryuuen seized this opportunity to test it in advance.
