Your phone vibrated; someone probably sent you a message.

At that moment, Kamuro suddenly spoke up.

Sakayanagi doesn't like playing on her phone all the time, so she usually keeps it in the table. However, Kamuro was sitting in front of her, and since her chair was against the table, she immediately felt it.

"It seems Kamuro is quite interested in my personal affairs."

"Sakayanagi said."

And it was indeed a private matter.

Because.

[Hey, Sakayanagi- senpai, does your ex-boyfriend really only see you as an ex-boyfriend?]

By Asahina.

[Although it's a little embarrassing to say this, I feel like I have a special connection with him.]

By Asahina.

Could you send me a picture of him?

By Asahina.

"..."

Sakayanagi.

Chapter 113 Taking the Exam, but Horikita Suzune, you don't understand people's hearts!

Today is the fourth day of the opening ceremony. After the physical fitness test the day before yesterday, Kushida has completed the competition form and had Nakano Yuu submit it to Katsuragi of Class B.

However, Class D wasn't idle either.

In the afternoon's PE class, the students practiced the entrance and exit routines for the Sports Festival's opening and closing ceremonies—a mandatory activity with no way to avoid it. In the evening, formal training began. Despite hearing about the training, most of the students in Class D remained enthusiastic, as they were not members of any clubs.

Eighty percent of the students in Class D are members of the Free Club, so they have plenty of free time. This means they have more opportunities for self-training.

As for the cannon fodder group, Nakano and Yukimura went through the 200-meter test and the boys' version of the three-legged race training together before they were given free time.

As for the remaining 20%, that includes Hirata and Sudo, but at this point Hirata had already gone to the soccer club, and Sudo had left as well. These strong players are different from the others; they excel in sports, so they don't need to practice.

That's how it was supposed to be.

"Ha-- Nakano-kun, can we practice one more time?"

"This is the problem with being a top student, "Yukimura said breathlessly. "It seems that most top students have the weakness of not being able to exercise enough. Although Yukimura looks very thin and his legs are strong, when he is tested, his standing long jump is only 1.6 meters, which is quite weak."

The same applied to physical fitness. Nakano had already gone all out to ease up, but Yukimura still felt rushed. In the end, Nakano gave up taking the lead and let Yukimura take control during the three-legged race. Although the speed was slower, they managed to barely pass. Moreover, they were just cannon fodder in the group, while the Student Council of Class B would give them a break and directly choose to be extremely lenient in this event within this group.

So, that's good enough.

However, something was a little different after school tonight. He, Horikita, and Kushida had agreed to scout out the fighting capabilities of the other students throughout the school.

This is probably just something Horikita wanted to arrange.

Although Nakano-kun only cares about money, Horikita still has some sense of shame.

Therefore, she needs to at least show some promise in this exam where she will be competing against her brother.

So, I'm going to do some reconnaissance today.

It's a pity, though, because if it's a reconnaissance operation, it should have been conducted a couple of days ago, instead of now that the entry forms have been submitted and can't be changed.

So she was just making an excuse.

In other words, this weak-willed girl probably just wanted an excuse to check on the older students.

For some reason, the news that Nakano Yuu had once told her that the upperclassmen might lose this time made her somewhat unsettled.

Because on one side is her outstanding idol brother, and on the other side is Nakano Yuu is constantly challenging her perceptions and values.

Horikita sister was caught in the middle and began to feel lost.

Although it was just an excuse, Nakano Yuu wanted to see the students from other classes, so he made an appointment with someone who was good at and suitable for doing this kind of thing.

In this way.

Nakano Yuu's training session is over, and they're just waiting for Horikita to arrive.

Horikita's suggestion was to train for a while first, and then go find the scouts.

Training has been going on for a while now, and Horikita still hasn't arrived, but Kushida Kikyou has. Although she's wearing that cheap smile that she gives to everyone, you can tell that the smile she's giving to the group of girls who are doing three-legged races is particularly bright.

Preliminary assessment suggests that something particularly pleasant happened there.

The mandatory events for the competition include the 100-meter dash, 200-meter dash, hurdles, pole-dropping competition (male only), ball-throwing competition (female only), mixed-gender tug-of-war, obstacle course race, three-legged race, and Cavalry Battle.

Running and hurdling are easy to do alone, but events like horseback riding are risky if you get injured during training, so the students in Class D gave up on training them. However, they could train in three-legged races.

Therefore, most girls are currently training in three-legged races.

However, a problem arose in the girls' group.

It's a very eye-catching combination.

Horikita Suzune and Onodera, who ranked second among the girls in their class, formed a pair.

Horikita, of course, needs no introduction. He came in first place in the 100-meter test and was then placed in the final 1200-meter relay race.

Onodera is a girl in the swimming club, and I heard she's also a pretty good sprinter.

Both of them are among the best in terms of physical fitness among girls.

Logically, the two of them working together should have been able to leave the other students far behind, but that wasn't the case at all. Not only were they not faster than the others, but they were even slower than average people.

"Horikita, can't you cooperate with me a little longer? This is the third time already."

After training for a while, Onodera untied the ropes and gasped for breath.

Nakano walked over to Kushida, who was clearly gloating, and before he could even ask a question, he already knew the answer.

Because.

He heard Horikita say, "Indeed, the rhythm is off."

"But it's not my fault, it's just that you're too slow. It's only natural to match the pace of someone who runs fast, because it would be strange to have to spend time compromising for that."

Listen to this guy, is he even speaking human language?

It's impossible to easily keep up with Horikita, who runs at his fastest pace on his own. Because there's a limit to how fast a person can go, and you can't push that limit to the limit all at once.

So Nakano understood what made Kushida so happy.

That's probably what it refers to. It seems the relationship between Horikita Suzune and her female classmates is going to continue to deteriorate.

Although Kushida hasn't bothered Horikita since he captured Horikita, she still seems to dislike Horikita.

As for the reasons, Nakano Yuu understands.

1. Horikita is difficult to conquer, causing Kushida to repeatedly run into obstacles.

2. Horikita and Kushida are different. Horikita is consistent inside and out, while Kushida inside and out. Because she cannot be like Horikita, jealousy has made her unrecognizable.

However, girl groups are different from boy groups. If a girl has a problem with you, even if you were just getting along well, you can start fighting right away. At least, after Horikita said that, many girls looked over.

He stared at Horikita with a strange look in his eyes.

Horikita, who was used to being treated coldly by others, remained very calm. Although she did not know anyone named Yukinoshita Yukino, she believed that as long as what she did and said was right, she did not need to change.

Although she now also noticed that the air around her seemed to have changed.

Yet they still stood there, convinced they had done nothing wrong.

She really isn't good at adapting.

Didn't you see how everyone was stunned by her theory?

There's really nothing I can do about her.

Nakano Yuu wanted to praise Horikita for having learned some social skills, but it seems he only applies them to Horikita. His relationships with girls are still a mess.

Considering that Horikita is his personal tool, he naturally can't ignore her and has to give her some pointers.

However, it's easy for boys to get involved at times like this to provoke public outrage, so let the girls handle their own problems.

Thus, he immediately switched to the mode of looking for tools whenever he needed them.

"Ha?"

Karuizawa had just finished a three-legged race with Shinohara, noticed his phone vibrate. Shinohara had already untied the ropes by then, and Karuizawa's expression of displeasure flashed the moment he saw the message, but it only lasted a moment.

She immediately took action.

"What happened?"

Karuizawa went to the girls' group as if he was still unaware of what was going on.

They arrested the person closest to them and questioned him.

Sakura Airi Airi her friend Polika had just finished a training session and were resting when Karuizawa suddenly appeared in front of her.

Airi answered instinctively, "It seems like... how should I put it... it seems like Horikita- san and Onodera- san had a fight. It seems like Horikita- san was insisting that Onodera- san cooperate with her, but Onodera- san felt that Horikita should give in to her, and then they started arguing... Ahhhhhh... Karuizawa!"

However, when Airi turned around and saw that the person who had questioned her was Karuizawa Megumi, she was immediately startled.

Ugh.

Because she didn't know Karuizawa was a fake gyaru (a Japanese term for a timid girl), and because of her usual behavior, the timid Airi was still very nervous.

So he was scared and took a step back.

"..."

Karuizawa remained silent.

She claims to be just a fake hot girl, but everyone seems afraid of her. So, is her acting really that convincing?

But now is not the time to think about that.

Her mind is now filled with the messages Nakano-kun sent her.

[Here's a test for you. The task is: Horikita has made a stupid mistake. Help her solve the problem without lowering her rating. I'm a guy, so it's not easy for me to handle. You go and deal with it.]

"..."

Karuizawa.

Let the girls handle the girls' problems.

Karuizawa didn't want to talk. While that guy thought it was better for guys to stay out of it, did he really think girls could solve problems so easily?

And.

You want her to deal with Horikita Suzune? Hey, it's Horikita Suzune!

That aloof woman, like a lone wolf!

However, Horikita was also her benefactor, as she had given them very serious tutoring before, and Karuizawa was thinking about how to repay the favor.

Therefore, even if Nakano Yuu didn't ask, she was prepared to take action.

"It definitely needs to be addressed."

Nakano murmured to himself, watching from afar.

"Horikita's current state is probably going to cause a huge uproar in his relationships with girls."

"It is indeed my foolish sister."

However, a familiar voice came from behind him.

Nakano immediately turned around, only to find that Horikita's stupid expression had been seen by the person who least wanted to see it.

"Is the Student Council President on patrol?"

Nakano-kun said, trying to sound casual.

"Yeah, because the Sports Festival is coming up soon, I'll be doing some inspections. In the mornings, I'll run several laps around the school. If I get up at five, I can make it to class in time. Nakano Yuu, you can try it too."
