Class D Prepared to Challenge the Sports Festival According to Plan / Chapter 172: Shuichi Kanda: My Body's Recovering. Great!

This is all utter nonsense, it's fucking hilarious.

"Hey-- Hirata, do we have no chance anymore?!"

Just like before, the students in the class were also looking forward to making a difference, or rather, they wanted to win the top three prizes.

"No, it's more like Item Borrowing Race. I think it's more of a test of luck than a test of athletic ability."

"You're talking about luck, so how are we supposed to decide?"

"Simple is best, let's decide by Rock Paper Scissors, okay?"

"How about we draw lots?"

Indeed, although relying on luck sounds unreliable, there's a saying that goes something like that.

There's something in this world called luck; with it, nothing is impossible!

Therefore, no one objected to deciding who Item Borrowing Race by Rock Paper Scissors, and everyone interested in the obstacle course race participated in the Rock Paper Scissors.

Of course, Shuichi Kanda didn't participate; he wasn't interested in sports, he just thought this project was fun.

This is not just a test of physical strength and luck, but also, to some extent, a test of interpersonal relationships.

Chapter 171 Class D Prepares to Challenge the Sports Festival as Planned

The Rock Paper Scissors ended quickly, and five students were selected besides Sudo: Ayanokoji, Yukimura, Sotomura, Mori, and Maezono.

Aside from Ayanokoji, who is hiding his true strength, Mori and Maezono are average athletes, Sotomura and Yukimura are complete sports idiots.

However, if these people are really lucky, they don't need to worry at all even if they are a little weak in physical strength.

Others have to make a round trip, but they can clear all the way through, so they can't possibly lose.

However, even among those chosen, some were unwilling to participate. For example, Sotomura said, "I... I've been chosen to participate in the Item Borrowing Race!"

This guy was practically foaming at the mouth. In contrast, Chi was extremely envious of those who could participate in the Item Borrowing Race, and even envied others for not being selected.

"Hirata, I think it's okay if you don't want to participate in the recommended activities. A lack of motivation might even affect your luck that day."

Seeing the lack of motivation from Sotomura, Yukimura, and even Ayanokoji, Shuichi Kanda felt he should speak up and say something fair.

"Besides, didn't Yukimura decide to cover for those in the class who didn't do well? So I don't recommend participating in these kinds of activities that can earn you points."

Shuichi Kanda's words startled Yukimura for a moment, then he nodded.

"That's right, it wouldn't be good if I got points. If possible, I still hope to contribute to the class."

Yukimura nodded in agreement, even finding Shuichi Kanda's words quite reasonable.

"Yes, I am..."

Sotomura also raised his hand shakily. As a chubby little guy, his motor skills were quite weak, probably only slightly better than Shuichi Kanda's.

"Then I..."

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji was about to speak, he saw Shuichi Kanda staring at him expressionlessly.

"Then I'll do my best."

As for why the two girls didn't give up, they were fairly athletic, and because they were close to Karuizawa, they had good interpersonal relationships in the class.

Therefore, there is a good chance of participating in Scavenger Hunt and winning one of the top three prizes.

"So, is anyone interested in participating?"

"I... I... I want to participate."

As soon as Hirata asked the question, Ike, who had been waiting for his chance, raised his hand and shouted.

"I understand. Are there any others?"

"Damn it, that guy Chi beat me to it! I want to participate too!"

"I want to too!"

Seeing that several people were still willing to participate in the Scavenger Hunt, Hirata nodded. "Then let's Rock Paper Scissors again, but this time the winner can't give up, we need to decide the order of appearance as soon as possible."

"That's right, that's right, if you don't want to participate, then don't come!"

"Don't worry, I'm here with the intention of winning!"

Then, the winners of the next round of Rock Paper Scissors were Ike and a boy named Hajime Makita.

I didn't have much of an impression of this person, Shuichi Kanda, but when I looked at the grip strength statistics table just now, I found that Shuichi Kanda's grip strength was 55.5KG, second only to Hirata. He seemed to be a rather introverted person, and he had a few friends in the class with whom he got along quite well.

"Oh, it's Ike-san and Makita- san. I'll be counting on you two then."

Hirata wrote down their names in the notebook he always carried with him.

The other students also had no complaints. Those who didn't want to participate gave up, and those who wanted to participate were given two chances. No one had any grievances.

Seeing the calm class members, Hirata breathed a sigh of relief and gave Shuichi Kanda a grateful look. If it weren't for the fact that Kanda had devised a strategy at the beginning of the semester, the class would probably be even more disorganized now.

Next, the speed of the class members was measured by the 100-meter sprint. Only one test was conducted, since running more would consume energy and naturally slow down the speed.

Then, based on the results, the fastest players are ranked as seeded players, while the slowest players are appropriately placed in the same group as the seeded players as cannon fodder.

And so, Class D' s strategy proceeded in an orderly manner, and the initial version of the appearance schedule was soon finalized.

Without a doubt, with Kouenji not participating, Sudo was the fastest man in the class. Hirata, Miyake, and Makita also performed well. On the contrary, Ayanokoji, who had good strength, was surprisingly slow, only a fraction faster than Ike.

After deciding the order in which each student would appear in all the competitions, Hirata passed on his notes.

"The order of appearance is crucial for victory. Although it's only tentative, I feel we can't afford to be behind other classes. So, could you please just write down your own order and your teammates' order? Please don't take photos or anything like that to record it."

The students in the class naturally agreed to this, and basically no one brought their phones to PE class; they all left them in the locker room.

However, this was not a problem for Shuichi Kanda. Perhaps it was because he had eaten too many Memory Candy, but his memory had improved significantly compared to his previous life. Hirata Shuichi Kanda had written in his notebook after only reading it once, but he would forget it again if he did not reinforce it.

After a heated discussion, the order of presentation for each project and the participants for each recommended project have been determined.

Among the boys, Sudo volunteered to participate in all the events, but since the Sports Festival was to be completed in one day, some Student Council were inevitably worried about his stamina.

However, shouldn't the use of performance-enhancing drugs be allowed at a small-scale event like a school Sports Festival?

Ahem, just kidding.

After passing the tests and determining the order of appearance, the time for physical education class was almost over. The students of Class D decided to start targeted practice for the Sports Festival events from the next physical education class.

After the bell rang, the students changed their clothes and left the playground.

"Wow, take a look at that."

Chi looked in the direction of the school building with obvious disgust, because there were several people standing there, students from Class B.

"Are those the people from Class B over there? They're already scouting pretty quickly—"

Every class needs to research the athletic abilities of students in other classes and adjust the competition order based on this information until the deadline for submitting the competition order form.

Even so, being investigated so blatantly still arouses disgust.

But there's no other way. We can't give up practicing just because the information might be leaked. You have to be strong yourself to succeed; we can't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

However, it's worth noting that not a single member of Ryuen's Class C showed up, let alone gathered any intelligence.

Ryuen is really confident, isn't he? Does he really believe Karuizawa will hand over the lineup for Class D as he requested?

However, Shuichi Kanda could understand Ryuen's thoughts, and it didn't matter even if Karuizawa had tricked him this time.

Because if Karuizawa really screws him over, then he will completely destroy Karuizawa afterwards.

Given Karuizawa's position in Class D, her downfall would be a huge blow to the Class D. Therefore, Ryuen might genuinely not care whether what Karuizawa gave him was real or fake.

However, Ryuen's actions did bother Horikita a little, but she quickly dismissed it. Ryuen didn't even want to cooperate with Class B, so he probably wasn't anything special.

Shuichi Kanda had been observing Horikita Suzune's expression, and he sighed inwardly, wondering who the child resembled—incompetent yet arrogant.

With that in mind, Shuichi Kanda took out his phone and sent a text message to Horikita Manabu.

[I'm planning to make your sister suffer a bit during the Sports Festival, is that okay?]

A moment later, Shuichi Kanda received a reply.

[Come find me at the Student Council Office after school.]

He didn't say he agreed, but he didn't say he disagreed either. He just asked me to meet him. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

Well, what's meant to be will be. I'm only doing this for Horikita Suzune's own good. As her older brother, you wouldn't stop your sister from becoming outstanding, would you?

Chapter 172 Shuichi Kanda: My body is recovering, that's great!

With a somewhat apprehensive heart, Shuichi Kanda arrived at the Student Council classroom at four o'clock after school, as promised.

First, he went to buy groceries, then brought them back to his dorm, and then rushed from his dorm to school. Shuichi Kanda spent almost the entire hour on activities.

Although strenuous exercise still puts some strain on the body, this gentle exercise allows Shuichi Kanda's body to recover quickly.

Furthermore, Shuichi Kanda has plenty of free time, so he's quite enthusiastic about taking walks that are beneficial to his physical and mental health.

Even so, Shuichi Kanda was already feeling quite tired. Although he wasn't panting, he was quite sweaty.

Sure enough, the weather in September was still very hot.

When Shuichi Kanda arrived at the Student Council classroom, only Horikita Manabu and Akane Tachibana were there.

"Are you two having an office romance? Every time you come to the Student Council, it seems like no one else is here."

"Wow, this kid is actually joking with his seniors as if nothing's wrong."

Before Horikita Manabu could speak, Akane Tachibana started mocking Shuichi Kanda.

After spending several hours together, Shuichi Kanda came to understand Akane Tachibana's basic personality. She was generally friendly, but could be a bit sharp-tongued. However, she was unusually obedient to Horikita Manabu.

"Ju, go brew two cups of tea."

"Yes, Chairman."

After Horikita Manabu dismissed Akane Tachibana, he started talking to Shuichi Kanda while reviewing the documents in his hand.

"You must have something to say to me."

"During the last cruise ship's VIP Exam, I ended my cooperation with Ryuen and even caused him a significant loss, so I'm planning to target Class D."

"You know that's not what I'm asking."

Horikita Manabu put down the documents in his hand and looked at Shuichi Kanda.

"Okay, originally I wanted to win and run, but Ryuen disagreed. He said if I didn't intervene, he would completely crush Class D, and then your sister stepped forward and went against Ryuen."

Horikita Manabu paused for a moment as he was about to pick up the documents beside him, but then resumed his normal motion.

"The rest is quite simple. Ryuen has his eye on your sister and has even made some threats, saying he'll teach her a lesson at this Sports Festival. As for your sister, she seems to disregard Ryuen because he's lost to me a Ryuen times."

At this point, the situation had become very clear, and Horikita Manabu was well aware of the price one would pay for underestimating the enemy.

So, regardless of the overall situation at this Sports Festival, at the very least, Horikita Suzune will be severely punished by Ryuen.

"I know about Ryuen's plan, but I don't intend to stop it. I think it's a good thing to take this opportunity to let your sister suffer a little and face reality."

"Since you already have a plan in mind, there's no need to tell me all this."

While working on the documents on the table, Horikita Manabu replied without looking up, and Akane Tachibana had already brought over the brewed tea.

Haha, you're saying things like this now. I wonder who called me to the Student Council classroom in the first place.

"Please use it, Kanda."

Akane Tachibana, holding the tray, gave Shuichi Kanda sweet smile.

"Well, my conversation with the chairman is over. I'd like to head back now." With that, Shuichi Kanda got up to leave this dangerous place.

Then Akane Tachibana turned to Horikita Manabu and began to complain.

"President, this child really lacks common sense. I've already served the tea, and this child doesn't want to drink it."

Okay, you're so great, so aloof, so polite!

I'll drink!

Can't I just drink it?

Since we're on someone else's turf, we have to abide by their rules.

After picking up his teacup and blowing on it gently, Shuichi Kanda gritted his teeth, frowned, and prepared himself to eat something very bitter.
