Shuichi Kanda: What Do You Call a Blessed One?!

"I'm so sorry! It's all because I didn't control my temper and fell for Ryuen's provocation. Not only did it lower morale, but it also almost caused Class D to lose."

Faced with various evaluations from the class, Sudo did not refute them, but simply lowered his head deeply to express his apology.

The students in Class D fell silent as they watched the man bowing at a ninety-degree angle.

No one understood what had happened to Sudo; the Sudo from before probably wouldn't have done this.

"What's wrong, Ken? This isn't like you at all."

Even his good friend Kanji Ike found Sudo's appearance somewhat unfamiliar, so he couldn't help but make a comment.

"You must admit your mistakes, so let me apologize to you too, Kanji."

"It's not your fault that we lost, after all, I'm not good at sports... Sorry, I'm not of any use."

Because of an apology, the students in Class D gradually forgave him, partly because the person he hit was Ryuen.

The students who were previously dissatisfied with Sudo almost never achieved the same level of success Sudo, so they couldn't say anything more after Sudo apologized.

"But because of what happened before, Sudo, you were disqualified from the competition, right?"

"Kanda has already taken care of this for me, and I just checked with the PE teacher. I can participate in the afternoon's competition."

After Sudo finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to Shuichi Kanda.

Did this person, who had been silent for half a day during the Sports Festival, actually do something like this without making a sound?

"But how exactly did they do that?"

The students in the class were undoubtedly puzzled, because Sudo had blatantly broken the rules.

"It was just a small, insignificant thing, you don't need to take it to heart." Shuichi Kanda smiled, not intending to mention that he had given Ryuen 20 million points.

Upon hearing Shuichi Kanda's words, Sudo was filled with gratitude.

Because Shuichi Kanda could gain a lot of prestige by saying this here, but conversely, Sudo himself might feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, Shuichi Kanda chose not to speak. He did not have the ambition of making friends with everyone like Kushida, so he would naturally consider the people he valued.

Since saying it might make Sudo uncomfortable, there's no need to explain.

Although the students in Class D were curious, they didn't press the issue when they saw that Shuichi Kanda was unwilling to talk about it; they understood the atmosphere.

"In that case, let's all do our best in the recommended matches this afternoon!"

"Oh!!!"

Not far away, the Student Council President, who had been watching Class 1-D closely, nodded to himself upon seeing the sudden surge of morale from Class D.

He had been following the competitions for the first-year students, so he had seen the predicament of Class 1-D.

Although you say you don't like fighting, you're still doing things for the class, Kanda.

Chapter 187 Shuichi Kanda: What does it mean to be a lucky person?!

Not far away, Horikita's expression was complicated as he watched Class D, whose morale had surged to unprecedented heights due to Sudo's return.

In the end, I still didn't accomplish anything.

A few minutes later, Shuichi Kanda appeared in front of Horikita.

"Oh, still wallowing in self-pity here?"

Faced with Shuichi Kanda's teasing words, Horikita Suzune simply glanced at him indifferently and remained silent.

"Since you have nothing to do, then I'd like to ask you to keep an eye on Sudo."

Why should I go see him?

Why do you need to keep an eye on him? It's because I'm afraid you'll get emotional. If you get emotional, who knows what your busy brother might do?

Of course, Horikita Suzune couldn't hear what Shuichi Kanda said.

"Anyway, you have nothing else to do, right? After what happened, you should understand how important Sudo is to the class, right?"

"... That's really hard to hear."

"Just tell me if you're going to do it or not. If you don't, don't expect me to help you next time Sudo goes berserk. What happens to Class D then won't be my problem; it'll all be your fault."

Shuichi Kanda's words made Horikita Suzune grit her teeth in hatred.

After her injury, she thought a lot on her own and realized that it would be difficult to get promoted to Class A by herself alone.

Although Shuichi Kanda is capable and believes he can lead Class D to Class A, he lacks the desire to achieve that Class A, making him unreliable.

If he wants to get promoted to Class A, he has to rely on his own strength. But unfortunately, he is not a genius like Shuichi Kanda, and he cannot do what Shuichi Kanda can do on his own.

Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to rely on the strength of the other students in Class D, and Sudo, who is unparalleled in the field of sports, is definitely a necessary asset.

That's why I wanted to bring him back at that time; I absolutely couldn't let him suffer resentment from his classmates because of this and give up on himself.

Now, even though Shuichi Kanda knows he understands this, he's still asking himself whether he should do it or not.

"Fine, I'll do it then?" Horikita said through gritted teeth to Shuichi Kanda.

"Oh dear, you don't seem very willing. Never mind then, you shouldn't do it." Shuichi Kanda had already achieved his goal at this Sports Festival, was in a very good mood and didn't mind teasing Horikita at all.

He then made it seem as if he was about to turn and leave.

"I'll do it, please let me do it! Please!"

As she spoke, she grabbed Shuichi Kanda's wrist.

Turning around, Shuichi Kanda saw Horikita's displeased but helpless expression.

Hmm, it feels a bit erotic.

"Since you've begged me so earnestly, there's no other way. I'll leave this to you." Having played both the good guy and the bad guy, hmm, it's quite a pleasant feeling.

After Shuichi Kanda left, Horikita went to see Sudo, and after they talked for a while, the two seemed to have reached an agreement.

It seems that not only Sudo, but Horikita also appears to have grown in skill this time.

Yes, indeed, most people undergo significant changes after experiencing failure; however, whether these changes are positive or negative depends on the individual.

Take Horikita and Sudo for example. Horikita's change is positive, while Sudo's change, without Shuichi Kanda's intervention, would probably have become malignant.

The first competition in the afternoon was Scavenger Hunt, and the rules were very simple.

At the start of the competition, contestants depart from a designated location and are then asked to bring back an item after traveling a certain distance.

Then the students need to find the item according to the instructions and carry it to the destination.

The item you are asked to find is determined by drawing lots. If you feel that you cannot find the item, you can choose to change the lot, but please note that there is a 30-second interval between changing the lot.

Furthermore, those who wish to have the draw rescheduled must request it from the referee at the draw location.

Additionally, the race will end when all three participants reach the finish line.

"Hirata, may I request to be a substitute in the following matches... because my feet aren't producing satisfactory results?"

Although Horikita felt very unwilling, she still frankly admitted her shortcomings as a player.

"That would be acceptable."

"What do you plan to do with the points from the player change?" Shuichi Kanda asked Horikita.

"About that..." Horikita took a deep breath, then looked at Shuichi Kanda, "Could you please help me pay for it?"

"Although I don't care about 400,000, you don't expect me to help you for free, do you?"

"I'll agree to whatever conditions you set out to meet from now on, so please."

She said, "Any conditions?"

How can anyone refuse that!

"I understand. I'll handle the point allocation for the next three matches." Shuichi Kanda nodded in satisfaction. "But after Horikita withdraws, is there anyone willing to step in?"

"Since the first round is Scavenger Hunt, how about we play Rock Paper Scissors instead?"

"It's all about luck, right? I think it's possible." Shuichi Kanda nodded. "But let me participate this time too."

"Huh? Kanda, are you alright?" Hirata paused for a moment, then asked with a concerned expression.

"It's alright, I feel like my body has recovered quite well recently, and it's just one match, I can manage." Shuichi Kanda, having watched the competition for so long, now wanted to participate as well.

"In that case, let's Rock Paper Scissors." Hirata said, looking at the students in the class, "Anyone want to participate in the Scavenger Hunt?"

"I... I... I..."

After selecting a few students who wanted to participate, they played Rock Paper Scissors, and then it ended.

Shuichi Kanda one round with an overwhelming advantage.

Am I really that lucky?

Shuichi Kanda also sensed something was off.

Then, the first Scavenger Hunt began, with Shuichi Kanda replacing Horikita Suzune and belonging to the first group.

Because it was a recommended activity, other classes naturally sent students with excellent athletic abilities.

"Oh, I didn't expect you, who was just lazing around in essential projects, to actually participate in recommended projects."

Shuichi Kanda had barely taken his position when Ryuen walked over from the side and stopped on the track next to Shuichi Kanda.

"Well, this project seems interesting, and I'm somewhat interested, so I thought I'd give it a try." Shuichi Kanda smiled, seemingly unconcerned about losing 20 million points to Ryuen.

"Snort."

He didn't take Shuichi Kanda Ryuen at all. Although the guy was smart, what could he do with his weak body?

"On your marks, get set, bang!"

After the starting gun fired, everyone rushed forward, and Shuichi Kanda immediately fell behind.

After everyone else had finished drawing lots and left, Shuichi Kanda reached the box where the lot-drawing took place, reached into the box, and randomly picked one out.

Open the skewer.

[Camera]

"Not bad," Shuichi Kanda, taking the slip of paper. After looking around, he spotted his target.

I knew it! If I were to participate, you would definitely come to watch, right, Sakura Airi!

Shuichi Kanda took the slip of paper and ran straight to where Class D was located, then stood in front of Sakura Airi.

Sure enough, Sakura was holding a pink camera in her hand at that moment.

"Can I borrow your camera?"

"Of course, please, please use it!"

Sakura excitedly handed over the camera she was holding.

A camera is definitely one of the hardest things to find in Scavenger Hunt, but Shuichi Kanda just happened to know who would bring it to the playground.

Moreover, the other party was someone he knew to some extent, so while Shuichi Kanda got the camera, everyone else was still frantically searching for what they needed.

It seems I'm truly blessed by Lady Luck.

Shuichi Kanda easily took first place, much to everyone's surprise.

"Indeed, this project really depends on luck."

Horikita had watched the whole thing, sighed.

Despite being the least athletic person, he was the first to reach the finish line.

Next up was Ike's turn to compete. Ike's athletic ability was only slightly better than Shuichi Kanda's, so naturally, he took the lead from the start.

However, since the opponents' questions seemed quite difficult, the other three were still waiting to draw again while Chi received his draw.

"Ayanokoji, left foot, lend me your left foot!"

"..."

Holy crap, Kanji Ike, do you want to hear what you're saying? What kind of fortune stick would make you make such a shocking statement?

Seeing everyone's reaction, Chi also realized what was happening.

"No, it's the shoe, the left shoe." Chi had already run back by then.

"But I have to run later too."
