As Expected, Ryuen Had No Shame

Sudo's family was not well-off, or rather, very poor. His father was a cleaner and his mother was a hostess.

Later, his mother's departure from home made Sudo stronger, or rather, more irritable.

At this time, he came into contact with Basketball. Although he was not good at teamwork, Basketball was the only thing that resonated with him. If it was Basketball, he could accept any cooperation, even if it was the wrong team.

Therefore, his Basketball skills began to improve as his talent became apparent, and he had already received an invitation from one of the top Basketball high schools in the country.

However, this opportunity was lost because it sparked a violent incident...

Therefore, when there was only one school that could guarantee his future and didn't require any tuition fees, Sudo chose it without hesitation.

However, when Sudo looked at Ryuen lying on the ground, the elation he had felt earlier vanished instantly, replaced by endless confusion.

Have I repeated the same mistake?

The Tug of War- war was in complete chaos, and amidst the noise, Sudo became somewhat disoriented.

Is this the end for me?

"Feel sorry..."

After muttering those words, Sudo left the playground.

Because of the punch he threw in front of everyone, Sudo's participation was disqualified, and depending on the circumstances, all his previous results are also at risk of being invalidated.

"Hirata, what... what should we do?"

Sudo's departure left the students of Class D completely disoriented. Although they all disliked Sudo's violent methods, they felt as if they had lost their pillar of support after Sudo actually left.

Seeing all this, Shuichi Kanda sighed.

Ryuen 've even resorted to a self-inflicted injury ruse to provoke me. You've really got some nerve!

Given Ryuen's personality, he would absolutely not have let Sudo hit him in this situation, but he didn't dodge or avoid Sudo's punch earlier, and even his underlings didn't make a move.

It was as if he was deliberately waiting for Sudo to hit him—no, not just as if, this guy was doing it on purpose.

The purpose was to learn from the time when Shuichi Kanda tricked Yahiko Totsuka.

Since Shuichi Kanda previously said that his self-inflicted injury scheme was ineffective, is he planning to personally prove himself this time?

After Sudo left, Ryuen stood up from the ground a short while later.

"Pooh!"

After spitting out a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood and foam, Ryuen wiped his mouth and a cold smile appeared on his face.

"Wow, he really dared to do that! But did that guy just slink away like that?"

However, no one could refute Ryuen's mockery, because even though Ryuen provoked him for no reason, Sudo couldn't hold back and raised his fist in public.

"Ryuen, you bastard!"

Ryuen's continued verbal provocations angered most of the students in Class D, and they all clenched their fists.

"What? You want to fight? Come on, I won't block or dodge, come on if you dare!"

However, no one dared to step forward. Whether they were students from Class D or Class A, they could only glare angrily at Ryuen.

To be honest, this situation has already exceeded Shuichi Kanda's expectations.

He had guessed that Ryuen would make some underhanded moves, but he didn't expect Sudo to have such a volatile temper, actually attacking Ryuen in public and walking right into Ryuen's trap.

Moreover, judging from Sudo's appearance before, something must have happened, otherwise his face would never have shown such a wavering expression.

After Ryuen and the others left, Hirata immediately found the physical education teacher who had served as the referee.

"Teacher, is Sudo really going to be disqualified from the competition?"

"There's nothing we can do; these are the rules. Sudo has to be punished for what he did, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless Ryuen forgives him, Sudo will not be able to continue competing. Moreover, assault is a very serious offense, and Sudo's previous achievements will likely be disqualified."

"How could this happen..."

The students in Class D received the worst news from their PE teacher: their biggest ace, Sudo, had been tripped up, which was a huge blow to them.

As for obtaining Ryuen's forgiveness and allowing him to return, it's obviously impossible.

What exactly happened just now?

After the women's Tug of War ended, AD Alliance emerged victorious.

The commotion on the boys' side was clearly seen by those over there, and Horikita heard about Sudo's disqualification as soon as she arrived.

Seeing Horikita's furrowed brows and displeased expression, Ayanokoji recounted what had happened to Horikita.

Then he was immediately struck in the ribs by Horikita's elbow.

Why didn't you stop him?

"Why do you think I can stop him?" Ayanokoji asked curiously, clutching her side.

Even Horikita was starting to get annoyed, because Sudo's disqualification wasn't just his own problem.

In the subsequent three-legged race and Cavalry Battle, his partner would be disqualified due to the lack of a partner.

Especially in the Cavalry Battle event, Sudo, Miyake, Hirata, and Ayanokoji were arguably the strongest horses in Class D, but this strongest force was directly dismantled because Sudo was forced to withdraw from the competition.

And then there are the recommended matches later on. Just thinking about these things gives Horikita a headache, but these are clearly not the only things that give her a headache.

The next race was Obstacle Course Race, and the boys' performance was, to put it mildly, dismal. Apart from Hirata and Miyake, the others suffered a complete defeat.

However, Class A performed quite well, with both Shibata and Kanzaki securing first place – truly reliable allies.

Meanwhile, on the girls' side, Horikita encountered Yajima and Kinoshita again, and then another unexpected event occurred.

In the final 50 meters of the obstacle course, Horikita looked back at Kinoshita third place, several times for some reason. Shortly after, the two collided and fell to the ground like tumbling gourds.

Seeing this, Shuichi Kanda sighed again. Damn it, Ryuen, you're really something.

Although the distance is too great and the specifics are unknown, it is clear that this is definitely a conspiracy by Ryuen.

Then, as Horikita and Kinoshita were getting back up, they were constantly overtaken by their opponents and quickly fell to the bottom of the rankings.

But the thought of falling during a full-speed sprint is excruciating for Shuichi Kanda.

As expected, Kinoshita struggling for a while, Horikita the first to stand up and then limped towards the finish line, ultimately finishing in seventh place.

Kinoshita seemed to have bad luck and couldn't get back up, ending the race in last place.

"Well, it really wasn't a coincidence, was it?"

Hirata had also watched the Horikita match, stood next to Shuichi Kanda and asked him this question.

"Yes, it's quite obvious. Horikita is being deliberately targeted by Ryuen." Shuichi Kanda nodded, pretending to have been tricked. "And some students in the class have probably already noticed."

"Leave this to me." Hirata's eyes were filled with determination.

He deeply regretted not being able to stop Sudo earlier, so now he wanted to do something for the class.

On the other side, Horikita had already limped over.

"Is your foot alright?"

Seeing that Horikita was having great difficulty even sitting down, Shuichi Kanda still showed some humanitarian concern.

"It's alright, it won't affect the game. I'll be fine after a short rest."

"Really? Let me see."

As he spoke, Shuichi Kanda reached out and touched Horikita's injured ankle.

"Hmm!"

The moment they touched her, Horikita showed a pained expression.

"This is not something that can be ignored."

"Don't touch me. And leave me alone. I can endure this level of injury."

However, Shuichi Kanda ignored Horikita's objections and directly took off her shoes, then rolled up her trouser leg, took off her socks, and saw her injured ankle.

Since she's physically disabled now, she can do whatever she wants.

The injured area came into view; it was already swollen and looked very painful. It was amazing that she could endure it.

"You shouldn't participate in the following matches. Go to the infirmary immediately for treatment."

"No! If we withdraw from the competition now..."

Horikita immediately became agitated and even tried to stand up to prove that she was alright.

"Class D can't win without Sudo. Even if you get the last place score, it won't improve things," Shuichi Kanda said calmly. "Besides, I'm not discussing this with you; this is an order. You should remember you owe me something, right?"

Hearing Shuichi Kanda's words, Horikita Suzune gritted her teeth. Of course, she hadn't forgotten, but...

Ignoring Horikita's pleading gaze, Shuichi Kanda walked over to Hirata.

"Hirata, Horikita's foot injury is very serious. I'll take her to the infirmary first, and I won't participate in the rest of the matches."

Is it serious?

Hirata immediately tensed up upon hearing Shuichi Kanda's words.

"Yes, it's already swollen. I hope the bone isn't broken."

Shuichi Kanda is not a doctor, so he couldn't make a judgment, but judging from the surface injuries, they were indeed very serious.

"I understand. Do you need any help?"

"No need, I'm fine on my own." Shuichi Kanda shook his head. "The class still needs you."

His frail health is a thing of the past. Although he's not as strong now, he's considered a normal person.

Chapter 183 As expected, Ryuen is shameless.

After Hirata explained the situation, Shuichi Kanda returned to Horikita.

"Come on, if you don't want to be a cripple for the rest of your life."

With that, Shuichi Kanda extended his hand to Horikita Suzune.

Of course, this was just to scare her; even if her foot had the most severe comminuted fracture, it could be completely cured with current medical technology.

However, if you're unlucky, it might leave lasting effects, such as pain on rainy days.

Although Horikita Suzune knew that Shuichi Kanda threatening her, she knew that these kinds of things were best left unsaid, as they might come true if spoken.

So, just in case, Horikita Suzune had no choice but to follow instructions, reaching out and placing her hand on Shuichi Kanda's hand, and then using Shuichi Kanda's strength to stand up again.

Although she didn't like being touched by boys, she didn't have the same resistance to Shuichi Kanda for some reason. Was it because he was someone her brother favored? Horikita couldn't say for sure.

Then, in full view of everyone, he leaned his weight on Shuichi Kanda and was helped away from the playground by Shuichi Kanda.

Although Horikita has a terrible temper, her body is still as soft as any other girl's, and she has a special fragrance—is it the scent of shampoo?

However, Horikita's expression wasn't very good at the moment, which is understandable.

Are you still worried about the match?

As they walked toward the infirmary, Shuichi Kanda asked Horikita for advice.

"With the information about the competition order leaked, and Class D losing their leader Sudo, I now have no choice but to withdraw..."

"So your worrying is useless. Class D is destined to lose this Sports Festival. It's a foregone conclusion, so what's there to worry about?"

Shuichi Kanda's thoughtless words immediately drew an angry glare from Horikita.

"You have time to make sarcastic remarks, but can't you think of a solution?"

Because they were so close, Horikita's breath hit Shuichi Kanda's face as he spoke, making him feel a little itchy.

"What method are you thinking of?"

"At least... at least we can't let the Red Team lose because of Class D." Horikita bit her lip and lowered her head.

Speechless, Shuichi Kanda found it utterly baffling.

You idiot, you're already this badly injured, and you're still worried about dragging your brother down with you.
