Ryuuen, Do You Know What It Feels Like to Have Nanakumo Report You Three Times? (Continued)

This is hardly a result to be celebrated.

But the battle continued.

Because Sudo's team was holding back Ryuuen, while Nakano Yuu and his team took the opportunity to eliminate the isolated Class C team, it ultimately became a three-on-one situation.

Class B is left with Katsuragi Kohei's squad, while Class D is left with Nakano Yuu's squad and Sudo's squad.

Three against one.

"So, what's next?"

Katsuragi thought everything was settled; it was definitely easier to do things after discussing it beforehand. But just as he was about to speak, he heard Sudo shout, "None of you come any closer! Ryuuen is mine!"

Sudo wants to have a one-on-one fight with Ryuuen.

"I'll take them all down if anyone comes near!"

If a one-on-one duel is a choice made when one is at a disadvantage, then it is a wise choice. However, a one-on-one duel is a choice made when one's side has the advantage.

Then it can only mean he's stupid.

At this point, a one-on-one fight would naturally be a group of us taking on you alone!

Even though I was somewhat impressed by his performance in the reversing game, Sudo is still Sudo.

"Nakano-kun, what should we do?"

On Nakano Yuu's side, Hirata. Nakano Yuu is above them, while Sudo is not in very good condition right now.

"Observe."

Nakano Yuu said, "Sudo is furious now. If we don't give him a chance to fight Ryuuen, he definitely won't continue to follow the plan."

"But what if Sudo loses—"

Do you think Sudo is weak?

"Impossible."

Hirata immediately replied, "Sudo- kun is like he's got a cheat code."

Hirata- kun actually said something so cute.

Indeed.

He got kicked in the pole-falling competition on the field, then participated in the tug-of-war, and is still so angry now. Sudo's physical fitness is really too good. There is no doubt that he is cheating.

So let's just wait and see what he does, and—

Nakano Yuu has no intention of participating in the war.

Ryuen is a long-time customer, so Nakano Yuu knows Ryuen very well, but he needs to confirm Ryuuen's current situation.

And since they were just missing a pebble to test the waters, Sudo's reckless attack actually served as his pawn.

"Ryuuen is doomed!"

Sudo was already furious.

"Wow, you're pretty confident, aren't you?"

However, Ryuuen still appears quite flamboyant.

Sudo isn't the captain; he's the horseman because of his high stamina. The captain is a very light boy named Miyake Akito, who is said to have been a skilled fighter in the past.

Surprisingly, Sudo, with his superior strength, moved towards Ryuuen's horse. Miyake had several opportunities to grab Ryuuen's headband, but he never succeeded.

"Miyake, are you even capable?!"

Sudo was furious.

"I don't know, we can't catch it."

Miyake looked quite innocent, and just then, Ryuuen's hand reached out to poke him.

"Vulnerable."

Ryuuen deliberately stuck his head out so that Miyake could pull his headband, but Miyake failed, and Ryuen took the opportunity to pull off Miyake's headband.

Sudo's team lost.

"..."

Katsuragi Kohei from Class B was a little dazed.

Now, it seems that Ryuuen is a bit eerie.

He probably can't win.

"Hirata, let's go over there. Let's fight Ryuuen one-on-one."

"Nakano Yuu," he suddenly said.

"Now? And in a one-on-one fight?"

Hirata watched Sudo leave the field cursing and swearing, then looked at his team. Based on their strength, he didn't think his team could beat Ryuuen's team. Besides, only Sudo could rival Albert from Ryuuen, and now that Sudo had lost, they could only rely on the support of Katsuragi, who looked tall and imposing, from Class B.

Therefore, the two teams can only team up, not... go it one-on-one.

"It's alright, if you take me there, then we can win."

Nakano Yuu.

"Ryuuen has plotted against us so many times, it's time to retaliate."

"..."

Hirata hesitated for a few seconds, but considering Nakano Yuu's intelligence, he immediately nodded in agreement and, along with the other two boys, led Nakano Yuu to Ryuuen.

"Ryuuen, I challenge you to a one-on-one duel!"

Nakano Yuu.

"Oh?"

Ryuuen was quite interested.

"Aren't you a slow runner? Aren't you physically weak? So you've come here to commit suicide?"

It seems that Ryuuen has complete faith in Nakano-kun's physical test data, and even misjudged Nakano Yuu's previous performance.

"My abilities don't matter."

Nakano Yuu continued, "However, you should admit defeat first."

"Um?"

Ryuuen wanted to mock Nakano Yuu.

But then Nakano Yuu said, "You cheated with your headband, didn't you? You used hair wax, that's why Miyake. If you don't admit defeat, I'll expose you immediately. And if you cheat, it won't just be this time, it could even lead to suspicion of cheating in previous matches."

"..."

Ryuuen.

"..."

Ryuuen.

"..."

Ryuuen.

"... grass."

Just as Nakano Yuu was about to speak, Ryuen Kakeru raised his hand, "This is boring, I surrender."

See?

Winning against someone like him, who's full of schemes and tricks, doesn't require using any legitimate tactics.

When Ryuuen surrendered, Nakano Yuu shouted again.

"Referee, I'm reporting Ryuuen... he cheated—"

"..."

Ryuuen.

Swear words!

The headbands were covered in hair wax, making them very slippery and difficult to remove. This was forbidden in Cavalry Battle competitions, but as long as it was done discreetly, it wouldn't be noticed.

But Ryuuen knew that it couldn't withstand an investigation.

And.

If this is verified now, then as Nakano Yuu said, he will be suspected of cheating in previous competitions, such as the reversing tournament.

Although he felt there was no evidence at the time, he didn't want to put himself at risk.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Ryuuen chose to abstain, silencing Nakano Yuu.

Even after he admitted defeat, Nakano Yuu still wanted to report him.

However, they have already lost the game and didn't get any points, so there's no real harm done so far.

Referee Ryuuen issued a warning once. Ryuuen then walked over again with a dark expression.

"You're really something this time."

Ryuuen said.

After saying that, he looked at Sudo with a hint of provocation.

"So pathetic! You think you can win this way? I really overestimated you, Sudo!"

Then, as if mocking, "Useless!"

He blurted out the insults.

"You wretched bastard! If you really want to compete, then do it fair and square!"

Sudo angrily raised his voice. Hirata quickly came over to persuade him.

But.

Get out of my way.

Sudo, however, easily outmaneuvered Hirata.

If Hirata had tried to dissuade Sudo before, Sudo would have given Hirata some face, knowing that Hirata was a kind-hearted person. But now, he completely disregards that.

It's like being unable to control one's emotions.

Clearly, he was fully prepared to defeat Ryuuen in Cavalry Battle, but things didn't go as planned, leaving him in a very bad mood.

"Neither of us could have won the match just now."

Miyake, who had just been assigned to the same group as Sudo and was now the team leader, walked over.

"The headband at Ryuuen is too slippery."

"Bullshit! You're just making excuses!"

However, Sudo said...

"If I were to catch the headband, I could definitely do it! It's just a matter of adding some hair wax!"

Obviously.

Sudo is currently in a state of irritability and agitation.

Even regarding the cheating at Ryuuen, he thought he could defeat them if he stepped in.

"What should we do?"

Katsuragi looked completely bewildered.

This Cavalry Battle ended with Ryuuen's withdrawal due to his violation of the rules.

Although his personal actions did not result in a point deduction, it is a fact that the White Group lost 50 points in the Cavalry Battle category.

At this point in the competition, the scores of the red and white teams changed again.

Red Group: 4286 points.
