Shuichi Kanda: You've Got the Wrong Person!

"No," Horikita directly denied her statement. "What competition are you going to participate in next? Answer me after you've caught your breath."

"Of course it's the 100-Meter Race! After all, we decided together, so I won't forget."

"Yes, it's 100-Meter Race, and it's about to start. Why are you running at full speed before the race even begins? What's the point of competing? Since you've already decided to fight, you should be waiting at the designated spot. There's no need to explain that, is there?"

Upon hearing Horikita's words, Ibuki was struck dumb, and instinctively blurted out. "We're doomed!"

Seeing Ibuki's reaction, Shuichi Kanda moment.

No, Ibuki used to seem pretty smart, how did she become like this?

Horikita looked utterly speechless, but Ibuki quickly realized what was going on.

"Let's settle this once and for all!"

"Don't worry, even if I don't want to, it doesn't change the fact that we're in the same group."

The girls' 100-meter race and the boys' 100-meter race are not in the same area. The Obstacle Course Race is still a while away, so Shuichi Kanda chose to watch.

Horikita then won first place by a narrow margin.

As for the boys, Shuichi Kanda's spotlight was overshadowed, and next up was his Ayanokoji.

Ayanokoji displayed the same speed as last year, easily securing first place in this group's exam.

The students in Ayanokoji's group included students from all three grades, but the second and third graders were mostly the kind of guys who weren't very athletic.

Based on the available information, Ayanokoji runs very fast, and a seeded player from the second or third year wouldn't risk his own life.

On the contrary, the first-year students, seeing that this group didn't seem to have any strong players, sent out two guys with good athletic ability. As a result, they were left behind by Ayanokoji by more than ten meters, which was quite miserable.

It's strange, though. Ayanokoji had two good performances at last year's Sports Festival, but his rating on the OAA was not high, only a C+.

Really...

Someone must have tampered with his information.

Shuichi Kanda curled his lip. Sakayanagi, who could do something like that, is still under investigation and far from the center of power.

Therefore, there is only one person who could have a relationship with Ayanokoji and who could do such a thing: Tsukishiro.

When the OAA System was released, it failed to properly record Ayanokoji's information.

Speaking of Tsukishiro, this guy did that kind of thing on the Uninhabited Island, yet he hasn't been fired yet.

I saw him when Shuichi Kanda was giving his opening remarks on stage; he still had that same smiling face.

Ayanokoji and Shuichi Kanda's second event was both obstacle races, and since their groups were adjacent, they met up nearby before the race started.

"Speaking of which, weren't you worried that your father would send people to arrest you and take you back? Why did you still come to participate in the competition?"

Watching the group preparing ahead, Shuichi Kanda and Ayanokoji chatted idly in the spectator area not far away.

"That's why I chose groups that are close to yours, so I can follow you around. That way, there shouldn't be any problems, since you're the Student Council President."

Wow, you really know how to leverage trends.

However, his consideration was correct. As the Student Council President, Shuichi Kanda was not someone these guests could easily take away from him.

Moreover, even if the other party tries to force him, Ayanokoji can fight back with all his might, and as long as Shuichi Kanda comes forward to testify, he will be fine.

As for dragging Shuichi Kanda this, Ayanokoji said: Anyway, you already knew about me, and we're collaborators, so it's okay for me to borrow your name for a bit.

"Yes, "Shuichi Kanda said, indicating that it was no problem.

Anyway, we'll have to deal with the White Room sooner or later. After all, I promised Nanase that I would make Ayanokoji Atsuomi pay the price he deserved, so there's nothing wrong with having some contact beforehand.

Soon, the five events that Shuichi Kanda and Ayanokoji had signed up for were over, Ayanokoji naturally won all five first places without a doubt.

He also took advantage of the situation to give the first-year students a hard time, and Shuichi Kanda did not use his Black Belt afterwards.

He wasn't interested in grades; he only wanted to teach Takahashi Osamu a small lesson to stop the guy from talking recklessly all the time.

The other person was a promising talent, and when he reached the third year, Shuichi Kanda intended to have him take over as Student Council President.

Therefore, I plan to hone my skills thoroughly during this period.

Not far away, Takahashi Osamu, who had just finished the 200-meter race, suddenly shivered and felt a strange chill.

Meanwhile, many students in Class A had already completed the five individual competitions. As the class's top contenders, Kouenji, Sudo, and even Hirata all easily won first place in all five events.

They didn't encounter any particularly tough opponents, while students from other classes, such as Hashimoto and Kito from Class A, and Kanzaki and Shibata from Class B, easily took first place.

On the girls' side, Kamuro and Onodera finished their individual competitions with perfect records, while Horikita lost to Ibuki in the long jump.

After winning this round, Ibuki was so happy that she was practically strutting around like a madwoman.

"That's awesome! Did you see that? I won! You lost!"

Ibuki struck a victory pose, jumping for joy like a child. In a desperate situation with no way out, she made a spectacular leap.

Ibuki was happy, but Horikita was not.

"So it's because of the lower air resistance that you have an advantage...?"

"What? Air resistance?"

Ibuki didn't quite understand Horikita's words, while Shuichi Kanda had just finished his fifth project and arrived in the vicinity, happened to overhear Horikita's complaints.

Then...

"Hahaha, Horikita, how dare you talk about others like that?"

As he spoke, he kept glancing at Horikita was wearing a sports short-sleeved shirt.

"If you don't want your eyes, I can gouge them out for you!"

Noticing Shuichi Kanda's unbridled gaze, Horikita said viciously.

"Really? Aren't they meant to be seen on your body?"

At this moment, Ibuki realized what Horikita meant by what she had just said.

"Horikita! You bastard, how could you..."

While trembling with anger, Ibuki kept staring at Horikita's chest, occasionally glancing down at her own and comparing the two.

After finishing the five individual matches, Shuichi Kanda did not go to the designated area to cheer for his classmates as required. Instead, he took out the armband representing the Student Council from his pocket, attached it to the edge of his short-sleeved shirt, and began patrolling the playground.

As for Ayanokoji, Shuichi Kanda sent him to be a cheerleader.

Guests generally don't approach that area, and Chabashira-sensei is also waiting there. If any outsiders ask Ayanokoji to leave, Chabashira-sensei will stop them.

After the individual competitions, many students did not simply cheer for their classmates; instead, many were eager to try their hand at the team competitions.

The most attractive class is Class 2-D, where Ryuen is located. Most of the projects they are aiming for are large-scale projects with five or more participants.

For example, in mixed-gender six-person volleyball, where teams consist of three men and three women, the first-place team receives five to three points from each player.

This is a team competition.

The team score will vary depending on the number of participants in the project. The first place winner will receive a base score of five points, plus additional points for teams with more than two participants.

For example, in a team competition with three or fewer participants, each member of the winning team will receive five points. However, in a team competition with four participants, the winning team will receive five points plus one point, which is a total of six points.

It can be said that if the team wins big, even if the individual competition is not so good, they can still get a very considerable score.

However, the larger the number of participants in a competition, the harder it is to win. After all, the students in a team have varying levels of skill, and if someone drags the team down, the team's fighting power may decrease instead of increase.

Moreover, there is another critical problem: large-scale competitions are very time-consuming, such as the first event at Ryuen, a mixed-gender volleyball competition with six players.

There were eight groups registered, and the competition was a two-elimination format, meaning that...

To win first place, you need to play at least three matches, each lasting ten minutes with a five-minute break in between. You are allowed two timeouts per match, so this event takes almost an hour.

Moreover, it consumes a great deal of physical strength.

Students with average physical strength will run out of energy after participating in a large team competition, making it difficult for them to participate in the next event.

Therefore, students who plan to participate in ten events generally choose those that can be completed in a short time and are not too physically demanding.

The projects that Ryuen organizes for its students to participate in are all large-scale projects with more than five participants.

Examples include Tug of War with five participants, a 1200-meter relay race with six participants, and even a volleyball match that lasts for almost an hour.

Although Tug of War and relay races don't take much time, they are very physically demanding.

Volleyball is not only time-consuming, but also extremely physically demanding.

"Is he crazy? Why would he choose volleyball for the first team match?" Many second-year students who noticed Ryuen's actions were surprised by Ryuen decision.

But what happened next completely surprised everyone.

Because Ryuen and his friends treated volleyball like child's play. It was supposed to be a six-person volleyball match, but only one person actually played, while the other eleven just watched from the sidelines.

This scene made even the physical education teacher, who was acting as the referee, twitch his brow.

"Beep!"

The whistle blew, and the referee took a yellow card out of his pocket.

"Passive play, yellow card!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The students laughed at the sight; it was hilarious. But the second-year students, especially those in classes Class B and Class C, couldn't laugh.

Because Ryuen's goal was very clear: he wanted them to know that Ryuen was to win first place in the individual competition.

Six groups of matches, that requires 48 people.

Besides the main class at Ryuen, they even saw glimpses of first and third graders.

"This guy actually bribed first-year and third-year students to throw the match for him."

"It's not really match-fixing; he just chose a weak opponent for himself. Although it's despicable, it's something that's allowed by the rules."

The second-grade students also sighed helplessly.

The reason why Ryuen initially only allowed one person to participate was to test the rules. If they didn't take any action, then Ryuen would start to cause trouble.

It's a pity, but the competition still has to go on; the students just don't care about the choice of their opponents.

Therefore, even though Ryuen had prepared a comprehensive plan, it had no choice but to obediently give up and let the competition end normally.

Chapter 349 Shuichi Kanda: You've mistaken me for someone else!

Ryuen's methods were naturally noticed by the other classes immediately.

"Damn it, this guy tricked me!"

Upon learning of Ryuen's methods, Sudo immediately clenched his fists in displeasure.

Even so, he had no way to help, because Ryuen was supporting Yajima and Yamada, who were in his class, by pooling the resources of several classes.

They also sent other students to compete for projects with more participants, even if they couldn't win, to stop other students, such as Sudo and Kanzaki.

Because there is a limit to the number of team events that can be won by multiple participants, once someone secures a spot in those events, even if they are capable of winning, they can only watch helplessly.

Ryuen wouldn't let them easily gain points. Since he had the advantage in numbers, he would inevitably block their path to obtaining high scores.

That's right, I know you can win, but I'm not letting you participate at all. You'd better show me how to win.

"Calm down, isn't there any way we can stop him?"

Some of the second-grade students are already getting anxious.

"Calm down. Ryuen did this because he gave up on competing for the class's overall score from the beginning. He's just using the other students to benefit two of them."

Even if it means sacrificing the class's overall victory, we must ensure that each student in the class achieves first place individually.

Many second-year students were shocked, especially those in Class 2-B, who belonged to the Sakayanagi Arisu class.

Although Sakayanagi was still trying hard to gain Class Points, unfortunately, they couldn't see any points that could beat Shuichi Kanda.

Whether in terms of Class Points or Private Points, they cannot compare to the current Class A, and besides Shuichi Kanda, Class A also has many other capable individuals.

Whether it's Hirata, Kushida, or Kouenji Horikita, they are all extremely rare talents.

Although it's unclear why they were assigned to Class D, they are undoubtedly all outstanding individuals.

Although Shuichi Kanda is dazzling, the efforts of these people cannot be ignored. After all, even a skilled cook cannot make a meal without rice. If Shuichi Kanda's subordinates are a bunch of idiots and morons, no matter how capable he is, it will be of no use.

At this moment, Ryuen is still organizing students from several classes to boost Yamada Albert and Yajima's scores, while simultaneously attracting hatred.

After completing the five individual events, Shuichi Kanda began patrolling, eventually reaching the school's reception area.

Kouenji had already participated in all five events, was now waiting outside the door.
