And A+ physical abilities are not just empty words.

While Horikita and Ibuki were already panting heavily with their knees on their hands, Kiryuin seemed to have just finished warming up, the difference in their abilities was obvious.

"What a fantastic match!"

What the hell? Two 6s and 0s on the counter? That's not exciting at all.

However, Ibuki was just panting, too weak to even speak.

They played two sets in total, each set consisting of six games, with four points in each game.

Regardless of who served, Horikita and Ibuki never won a single point.

It was utterly tragic.

However, Shuichi Kanda was not surprised by this situation at all, since both Nanase and Kiryuin were top-tier in terms of physical abilities.

Therefore, unless there is a significant difference in skill level, Horikita and Ibuki simply have no chance of winning.

As the competition progresses, matches are also underway in other locations.

Ryuen's strategy of using sheer numbers proved highly effective, with Albert and Yajima achieving the highest scores for their respective grades in the individual competitions.

After excluding the two cheaters, Sudo and Onodera are ranked next.

However, their scores were still quite far behind the two ahead of them, so even if they won first place again, they wouldn't be able to secure first place.

Although Sudo was very dissatisfied with this, there was nothing he could do. It wasn't that he lacked strength, but rather that the rules restricted him.

Sudo, who hadn't practiced large-scale events beforehand, was outmaneuvered by Ryuen.

Although Sudo was unhappy, he still felt that Ryuen was truly ruthless and decisive.

Based on the current total class scores, Class D is absolutely unable to escape fourth place, but they have managed to win first place in both the men's and women's individual competitions.

"Is he really planning to transfer all the students in the class to Class A?"

Sudo looked at Ryuen, who was directing the students in battle in the distance, and muttered to himself.

"So, there's a possibility that we might be classmates in the future?"

Thinking of this, Sudo shuddered, then felt a little nauseous.

Are they classmates at Ryuen?

Holy crap!

Are you kidding me?!

However, it seemed pointless for him to disagree.

"Don't think too much about it, the match is about to start. Are you ready, Sudo?"

Sudo and Onodera's final match was a mixed doubles tennis game, and they had already made it to the finals.

His opponent in the final was a first-year student. The boy was Utsunomiya Riku, from Class 1-C, and Sudo didn't know the girl.

He had watched the opponent's matches before; he was a good guy, but that alone wasn't enough.

It doesn't matter if I don't win first place individually, as long as I can win first place in all the competitions, that's enough!

Sudo adjusted his mindset, then picked up his racket and began preparing for the match.

"Okay, all done!"

"This is so exciting!"

After working together for almost a day, Onodera was able to read Sudo's expressions.

Despite his exceptional athletic ability, he also has a few flaws. He is careless and tends to get carried away easily, but these flaws don't last long, and he quickly adjusts.

"The final is about to begin, please prepare to go on stage." Just as the two were sitting down to rest, a staff member came over and said this.

"Then let's quickly seize the victory and make our class's momentum even stronger."

Sudo said this with high spirits.

OK.

Onodera nearby, was also inspired by Sudo's fighting spirit and felt his whole being ignite.

Meanwhile, Shuichi Kanda was keeping a close eye on the overall ranking of the second-year classes.

Because Ryuen's Class D sacrificed its own students to promote Yamada and Yajima, it didn't get any good scores.

The classes that signed contracts with him were tasked with competing for the larger projects to prevent others from getting high scores.

It was precisely because his entry slots for major projects were blocked that Sudo was unable to retaliate.

If they could use the students from Class A to compete, it would indeed be possible for Sudo to secure a spot in a major event.

However, in that case, the number of points that Class A can obtain will undoubtedly decrease.

Therefore, in order to ensure Class A's ultimate victory, Sudo did not act so recklessly.

Thanks to him, Class A is currently ranked first, followed by Class C of Ichinose, Class B of Sakayanagi in third place, and Class Ryuen in last place.

Class B did indeed suffer from having fewer players; they currently only have thirty-eight students, Sakayanagi couldn't participate yet, meaning only thirty-seven of them could try to score points.

Furthermore, most of the students in Class B are not good at sports, so this predicament is understandable.

Chapter 351 The Sports Festival Concludes

As time went by, the students gradually completed the projects they had signed up for and the projects they wanted to participate in.

The Sports Festival is also coming to a close. Nothing special happened this year, because there are basically no more guys who would disregard the rules and mess around.

Ayanokoji's fears did not come true; his father did not seem to send anyone to the school to arrest him.

The final scores for the Sports Festival have been determined.

680 points in Class 2-A

553 points in Class 2-B

635 points in Class 2-C

Class 2-D, score 545

Shuichi Kanda was slightly surprised by the result.

He wasn't surprised that Class A came in first place, but rather that Class B almost came in last.

Even though Ryuen had no intention of competing for class rankings, they almost surpassed Class B. Those guys in Class B must have been terrified.

However, recalling Class D's final scoring curve, Shuichi Kanda immediately thought of a possibility: Ryuen might not want to antagonize Class B at this crucial moment, and might be doing them a favor in the process.

No, by then, Yamada and Yajima should have already completed all ten events, so they weren't worried about Class B causing trouble at all.

Furthermore, many students in Ryuen's class are still eligible to participate in the competition. If they were to participate at this time, Ryuen could easily use students from Class 1-D and Class 3-C Class D of Grade 3 to deliberately create a fixed competition.

Class D had a real chance of surpassing Class B, but Ryuen ultimately didn't do so.

Given Ryuen's personality, it's surprising that he didn't take advantage of Sakayanagi's misfortune at this time, and Sakayanagi, who hadn't appeared on the playground all day, has now shown up.

It seems there's only one answer—that guy must have gotten some Private Points from Sakayanagi.

Just like the contract he signed with Katsuragi on the Uninhabited Island last year.

Poor Sakayanagi! He finally earned some points on the Uninhabited Island, but then he exchanged them for 200 Class Points during the exam, and now Ryuen has ripped him off again.

There are also previously signed contracts...

It seems like Class B is going to become broke again.

Looking at the scores displayed on the big screen on the playground, Kanzaki from Class C couldn't help but sigh.

Even in a fair and square competition, we still can't beat Class A.

"Well, as long as you do your best, that's enough. Even after you graduate and enter the workforce, you don't necessarily have to be number one."

"That's right."

"It's okay if we don't win, as long as we don't lose our ambition!"

"That's right, even if we can't be number one, what's wrong with being number two!"

"Besides, there's only one first place. Instead of getting frustrated here, why not think about what to do next?"

"Well, getting second place isn't that easy either. Sometimes, even getting second place is already a success."

Kanzaki Ryuji never expected that a casual remark would elicit so many words of advice from his classmates.

Afterwards, the students gathered again, and Shuichi Kanda, as the Student Council President, gave the final speech. First, he announced the rankings for each grade and then announced the awards.

First, there were the first-year students. Shuichi Kanda glanced at the results and wasn't surprised.

"Now, let's announce the rankings for each class in this Sports Festival, starting with the first year."

"Rankings are based on the total score of each class. The first place class Class 1-A, and the Class Points increases by 150 points."

Second place, Class 1-C, Class Points increased by fifty points.

Third place, Class 2-B, Class Points remain unchanged.

Fourth place, Class 1-D, 150 points deducted from Class Points.

However, since Class 1-D had less than 150 Class Points, the Class Points were only reduced to 0.

"Next up are the individual awards for the first-year students. The first place for boys Utsunomiya Riku from Class 1-C, and the first place for girls is Nanase Tsubasa from Class 1-D. The second place for boys and girls are respectively..."

Following that, Shuichi Kanda announced the second-year results. The first place naturally went to Class 2-A, followed by Class 2-C, Class 2-B, and Class 2-D, in the exact same order as the first year: ACBD.

"Yay! We really are number one!"

Although he didn't manage to take first place in the individual competition, Sudo was still very happy.

The fact that Class A was able to win first place this time was not due to the efforts of Shuichi Kanda or anyone else; this victory was inseparable from the hard work of everyone.

This is exactly what Shuichi Kanda wanted to see.

If Shuichi Kanda were to start a company after graduation and have to make all the decisions, he'd be worked to death.

Therefore, having a group of capable workers below you is extremely important!

Shuichi Kanda is currently cultivating this kind of awareness in them.

Although the students in the class have all sorts of dreams, only a few are able to realize their wishes, even with the school's help.

Ultimately, they need to earn money to support their families; they need to work.

Having a group of people who know you inside and out makes many things much easier.

And those who achieve their dreams, Shuichi Kanda doesn't think they're useless to him either.

For example, Sudo. If this guy really becomes an NBA superstar, wouldn't it be very convenient to get him to endorse a product or something?

However, even with this relationship, Shuichi Kanda didn't simply take responsibility for their future. If they remained beyond redemption, Shuichi Kanda wouldn't care whether they lived or died.

That's why Shuichi Kanda let the students of Class A do things on their own during the Sports Festival.

Even for the subsequent Cultural Festival, he didn't plan to help the class. After all, the Cultural Festival involved fewer Class Points, so it was a good opportunity to test them.

Moreover, he also has his own things to do.

In addition, based on the rankings of this Sports Festival, the Class Points of each second-year class have also changed.

The first place in Class 2-A increases the Class Points by 150, bringing the total to 2621.

Class 2-B, third place, Class Points remain unchanged, 1236 points.

Class 2-C, Grade 2. Class Points increased by 50 points, totaling 1083 points.

Ranked fourth in Class 2-D, Grade 2. Class Points deducted: 150 points, 148 points remaining.

Most second-grade students were quite satisfied with the results.

Class A won first place and earned Class Points. Class C fought hard but failed to win first place, though they still gained something.

Although he lost 150 Class Points at Ryuen, he gained two class transfer tickets and some points that he had extorted from Sakayanagi.

The only ones who are unhappy are probably Class B, where Sakayanagi is.

They clearly worked very hard in the exams and participated in the projects, but they still almost came in fourth place.

If I hadn't spent 5 million Private Points, I probably wouldn't have even gotten third place.
