The Sports Festival Is Drawing to a Close

The reason why Kushida did that just now is actually quite obvious.

It wasn't because Shuichi Kanda's rice tasted better; she was asserting her dominance.

There was nothing he could do; Shuichi Kanda was surrounded by a group of students all of a sudden...

However, Kamuro wasn't worried at all.

Because she knew Shuichi Kanda very well. Although Shuichi Kanda was a womanizer and a lecher, he wasn't a womanizer or a lecher for everyone.

At the very least, this person has to be good-looking.

Otherwise, think about it, whether it's Kamuro herself, Kushida, or Ichinose, all three of them are good-looking and have great figures.

That's why it was possible for her to take things Shuichi Kanda.

As for the other girls, most of them have no chance; after all, although many are cute, they're not that adorable.

Based on Kamuro's current observations, among his classmates, only Hasebe, Sakura, and Horikita seem to fit Shuichi Kanda's taste.

Oh right, there's also Matsushita Chiaki, but Shuichi Kanda isn't familiar with her and won't go out of his way to develop a relationship with her.

After all...

Shuichi Kanda a human, not a stallion.

After a lunch break, the Sports Festival entered its second half. More than half of the students had finished their individual five events, while those confident in their athletic abilities moved on to the sixth and seventh events.

After a midday rest, Shuichi Kanda became somewhat listless and decided to skip the team competition he had originally planned to participate in.

This made Kamuro both annoyed and amused.

Because Shuichi Kanda had promised her that they would participate together in the doubles relay race and the mixed doubles three-legged race.

After just one meal, Shuichi Kanda was already starting to doze off.

"Get up!"

"No, Masumi, I'm so tired."

Looking at the languid Shuichi Kanda, Kamuro's eyes flashed, and then he whispered two words in Shuichi Kanda's ear.

Upon hearing Kamuro's words, Shuichi Kanda leaned back in surprise.

"So vicious!?"

"So you can't get up."

"Sigh, there's no other way." Shuichi Kanda finally stood up and went with Kamuro to register for the Three-Legged Race.

As he passed the registration area, Shuichi Kanda saw Ibuki from Class D still bothering Horikita.

Horikita's face also showed impatience as Ibuki kept bothering him.

"Victory or defeat! Victory or defeat! Victory or defeat!"

"You've already lost to me several times, why are you still nagging me like this!"

"What do you mean I lost to you several times? It's clearly one win and one loss!"

"What do you mean one win and one loss? It's two wins and one loss! I won both, it's my victory!" Horikita was so annoyed by Ibuki that she was on the verge of a breakdown.

"I didn't lose, I just didn't participate!"

"I don't care. You should blame yourself for not showing up at the designated time."

"Um...! I... I just got the time wrong..."

The event that Ibuki missed was the individual balance beam.

"Isn't this a loss? You really are persistent."

"Then you'll have a match with me! Just one match, and I won't bother you anymore!" Ibuki's eyes shone brightly.

Seeing Ibuki and Horikita's expressions, Shuichi Kanda's lips curled into a smile.

Have these two guys gotten this close already?

Interesting.

"Shuichi, let's go."

After registering with Kamuro, Shuichi Kanda discovered that there were quite a few formidable opponents nearby, including the Hashimoto and Ai Morishita duo from Class 2-B, and the Kanzaki and Mizuta duo from Class 2-C.

And there's also the Takahashi Osamu group, which is in its first year.

"It's nice to see you again, President."

"Heh, haven't you learned your lesson yet?"

Upon seeing Shuichi Kanda's forced smile, Takahashi Osamu shuddered and quickly waved his hand.

"What a coincidence! It really is just a coincidence, and besides, I'm not in the same group as the president."

"Consider yourself lucky."

Once enough people had signed up, the three-legged race began quickly.

Shuichi Kanda and Kamuro had unparalleled teamwork, and their physical abilities were also excellent. As soon as the whistle blew, they rushed out in perfect unison.

"Wow, so fast!"

"Is this the unspoken understanding between couples?"

"Huh? Is that girl the student council president's girlfriend?"

"That's amazing!"

Shuichi Kanda and Kamuro Masumi undoubtedly won first place. Since it was a doubles event with no more than three people, each of them received a five-point bonus.

After returning from the three-legged race, Horikita and Ibuki were still entangled together.

"Huh~? Aren't these Horikita Manabu and Ibuki- senpai~? Thanks for your hard work at the Sports Festival— "

At this moment, it was Amasawa, a first-year student, who spoke to the two of them. Next to Amasawa was another girl, Jingu Yuki.

At this moment, she and Shuichi Kanda alike, both appearing listless and lazy.

If I hadn't been pulled along, I probably would have already found a place to become a couch potato.

Looking at this guy, Shuichi Kanda was speechless. Why was this guy copying me?

The other party seemed to have noticed that Shuichi Kanda was watching them, and then tugged at Amasawa, preparing to let her retreat.

"Let's go, Ichika, I want to go back and rest."

"What rest? You've been resting ever since lunch. I'm not trying to be mean, but you really need to get some exercise."

Amasawa was not swayed at all by Jingu Yuki's persuasion.

Upon hearing Amasawa's words, Jingu Yuki's face revealed a smile that was more like a grimace.

"Damn it, Ichika, you're pushing me to the limit!"

Then, she shook off Ichika's hand, took a Black Belt from her sweatpants pocket, tied it around her waist, and turned to run. Her speed was unmatched, leaving Amasawa completely dumbfounded.

Shuichi Kanda also recognized the item in the other person's hand: Black Belt.

Without a doubt.

But...

Shuichi Kanda touched the Black Belt in his pocket and fell silent. What... was going on?

After seeing Amasawa Jingu Yuki escape, Amaze didn't bother talking to Horikita and Ibuki anymore. He turned around and chased after her, his speed not much slower than Jingu Yuki's.

Horikita and Ibuki were both dumbfounded by the speed of their opponent.

"W-Is this really a first-year student?" Ibuki looked somewhat dazed. "Hey, Horikita, how can you run that fast?"

Horikita shook his head subconsciously.

Just kidding, if I could run that fast, I'd go straight to the Olympics! Why would I need to go to school?

Then, the two exchanged a silent glance and sighed.

"How about we team up and participate in a doubles competition?"

"I think it's a good idea."

Watching the two figures walk away, a question mark appeared above Shuichi Kanda's head.

These two... have they made up?

That's really strange.

Before he could think any further, Kamuro had already dragged him off to participate in the mixed doubles 400-meter relay race.

Chapter 350 The Sports Festival is drawing to a close

After finishing the relay race, Shuichi Kanda completely collapsed and went straight back to the cheering area for Class 2-A, not even bothering to go on patrol.

Upon returning, Shuichi Kanda discovered that not many students from Class 2-A had come back; many had chosen to participate in subsequent team competitions.

Only a few students who are genuinely bad at sports are here watching the students on the field.

"Huh? Shuichi, aren't you going to participate in more events?"

Hasebe, who is not good at sports, immediately moved to greet Shuichi Kanda when he saw Shuichi Kanda return.

"Hmm, no need, they're all projects I don't really like."

Shuichi Kanda immediately made up an excuse and took a bottle of drinking water from a nearby box and started drinking.

This weather is awful! It's almost mid-October, but it's still a bit hot.

This is the northernmost part of the Northern Hemisphere! Damn it!

I should have applied some Reverse Cream instead.

However, Shuichi Kanda quickly calmed down and began to observe the contestants on the field.

In the second year, since the group of people under Ryuen's command were supporting the two, almost everyone understood that there was no chance of winning the individual competition.

But even though they had no chance of getting first place, Sudo and Onodera didn't give up, because the reward for second place was also very generous.

Moreover, getting a few more points can help the class rank higher.

Although their numbers are fewer than Class C, Class A still has a very good chance of taking first place this time.

Aside from the still relatively clear situation in the second grade, the first and third grades are also striving for higher scores.

However, because four classes at Ryuen are internally managing some of the projects, the other classes in the first and third grades can only sign up for projects with fewer participants.

For example, the doubles event that Horikita and Ibuki planned to participate in together was tennis, and many first-year and third-year students signed up for that event.

"Hello, Horikita Manabu- senpai, Ibuki- senpai."

This time, it wasn't Amasawa Ichika from Class 1-A who greeted them, but Nanase Tsubasa from Class 1-D.

Are you here to participate in women's doubles tennis?

Horikita and Ibuki exchanged a glance, then nodded.

"Nanase- senpai too? I don't see your teammates."

Nanase's physical abilities were rated B+ in the OAA, making her stronger than Horikita and Ibuki.

Therefore, Horikita had to take his opponent seriously. However, this was, after all, a doubles tennis match, where it wasn't enough for one side to be strong; the other side also needed to be strong to guarantee victory.

"Hey, hey, hey, that's so rude! I've been standing here for quite a while now."

"Who are you..."

Horikita was quite surprised to see the person who spoke, because the person was not a first-year student, but a third-year student.

Her name is Fuka Kiryuin, and she is the only student in the school with both academic and physical abilities rated A+.

"Does this mean that teams can actually be formed across different grades in team competitions?"

As the vice president of the Student Council, Horikita had read the competition rules several times.

"I've read the competition rules several times, and it doesn't say anything about allowing teams from different grades to form."

"Hehe, what a cutie. While there's no rule that says cross-grade teams are allowed, there's also no rule that says cross-grade teams are prohibited, right?"

Kiryuin, seeing Horikita's serious expression, couldn't resist teasing him.

"Can't we just ask the teacher at the registration desk?" Ibuki didn't think too much about it and squeezed into the registration desk, then came out a little while later.
