Fighting by Official Decree (Continued)

"I swear, there's absolutely no benefit to doing that kind of thing."

"How about we place a bet?"

Upon hearing this, those who had previously said there was no benefit immediately became interested; they seemed to be students from Class D.

"For example?"

"A chaotic free-for-all would be boring. How about we split into smaller teams? The losers would have to give points to the winners."

"That's fine. I'm quite confident in my athletic ability."

"But how many points would be appropriate?"

After discussion among the students, a competition was quickly arranged, with a registration fee of 1000 points, and the winning team would receive points from the losing team.

The rules are simple: you can only dodge snowballs, you can't catch them. Getting hit by a snowball means you're eliminated, but the snowballs have to be of a fixed size.

For example, throwing powdery snow like a shotgun, or snowballs scattering in the air, would be ineffective even if they hit someone.

However, Shuichi Kanda was not interested in this, because Shuichi Kanda was not very athletic. Although his physical strength had improved, good physical strength did not mean a high level of athletic ability.

"Is Shuichi coming too?" Kamuro walked over.

"If Masumi wants to participate, I'm fine with it." Shuichi Kanda nodded in agreement, then looked at Kushida beside him, "Is Kikyo participating too?"

"I won't participate. After all, I'd feel bad about throwing snowballs at people. I'd feel sorry for the other person in that kind of activity; I just couldn't bring myself to do it."

Shuichi Kanda secretly rolled his eyes. We're all so familiar with each other, and you still say things like that. You were clearly cute in bed.

Kamuro, however, remained silent with a smile.

Although Shuichi Kanda wasn't interested in snowball fights, he had been spending the past few days with the group and hadn't had much contact with Kamuro and the others. So when Kamuro invited Shuichi Kanda accepted, and naturally, he chose to team up with Kamuro.

However, since they were going to participate, Shuichi Kanda couldn't handle the group assignments, so he handed it over to his classmate Hirata.

"No problem, I'll handle the grouping properly."

Hirata is very good at handling all kinds of troublesome matters. Although his decision-making ability is sometimes lacking, he is really a very useful tool.

"Wow, there are so many people! Is everyone so interested in a snowball fight?"

Just after Shuichi Kanda Hirata, Ayanokoji also came out of the house.

"Because it's a snowball fight where you wager individual points. It's called gambling, but just paying 1000 points to participate means the winning team gets the points from the losing team."

After explaining to Ayanokoji, Hirata asked, "Ayanokoji, are you participating too?"

Ayanokoji thought about it for a moment, then agreed.

"Hmm, I'd like to give it a try, but there are no teams available."

"It's alright, I'll make arrangements for those who aren't enough. Can you wait a moment?"

Ayanokoji nodded, and at that moment Horikita also came out of the house.

"I've heard that quite a few people have gathered here."

"Do you want to participate? Would you like to join my team?" Shuichi Kanda smile.

After considering Shuichi Kanda's invitation for a moment, Horikita nodded and said it was no problem.

"This is a rare educational trip; if there are still spots available, I'll definitely join."

After Horikita agreed to participate, the happiest person was none other than Ibuki from Class D, who had inexplicably developed a competitive spirit towards Horikita from a very early stage.

So when he heard that Horikita was participating, he immediately jumped out.

"In that case, Horikita, let's settle this once and for all."

"... Ibuki, so you're here too." Horikita gave a troubled look. "But since you've put it that way, fine, if you'd like, I can join you."

Then Horikita gave Ibuki a strange look.

"But do you have a team?"

Horikita's words left Ibuki was just about to utter some harsh words, speechless.

"Of course, this competition seems very interesting, so let me participate too." Unexpectedly, Ryuen Kakeru joined the fray.

Soon, the various teams were formed one after another. To Shuichi Kanda's surprise, Ryuen also came to participate.

"Weren't you not planning to come out?"

"Hehe, I'm not participating because you're not participating either. Let's have this senior continue our battle from the first night."

Um, a pillow fight!

And so, the much-anticipated snowball fight began, with more than thirty participants and a few people in the atmosphere group.

"Ready, go!"

At the referee Hirata's signal, several snowballs flew towards Shuichi Kanda.

Holy crap!

Shuichi Kanda cursed under his breath and dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack.

"Hahaha, how pathetic, Kanda."

While laughing loudly, Ryuen rolled up a snowball and threw it at Shuichi Kanda.

It's obvious that Ryuen's target is himself.

Meanwhile, the others launched attacks on the opposing side, and soon, people from both sides were eliminated.

There were only six people left on the field. One side was Shuichi Kanda's side, which included himself, Kamuro, and Horikita.

On the other side were Ryuen, Ibuki, and Kinoshita from Class D.

"Hey, Kanda, let's be fair, how about one-on-one?"

Hearing Ryuen's words, Shuichi Kanda somewhat surprised, because it didn't sound like something Ryuen would say. However, after glancing at Horikita and Ibuki, who were staring at each other, he understood.

Is he creating an opportunity for Horikita and Ibuki to have a one-on-one fight?

Goodness gracious, Shuichi Kanda exclaiming.

He may be sharp-tongued, but he's actually quite gentle with Ibuki?

Could this guy have feelings for Ibuki?

Shuichi Kanda's expression was strange.

However, after seeing Shuichi Kanda's expression, Ryuen's face immediately darkened, and he threw a snowball at him.

"Since you're not saying anything, I'll take that as a yes." While throwing snowballs, he said to the two men, "You two keep an eye on your opponents and don't interfere."

"Heh, then I'll show you what despair is."

"If you can do it, then come!"

... In the end, Shuichi Kanda's team won the battle against Ryuen 'Shuichi Kanda team. There was no way around it; although Shuichi Kanda and Ryuen were evenly matched, Ibuki and Kinoshita were the first to be defeated.

Then, Shuichi Kanda called on Kamuro and Horikita to launch a righteous brawl against Ryuen.

Anyway, he never agreed to Ryuen's challenge; it was all Ryuen's wishful thinking. Besides, if you take on all three of us by yourself, isn't that still a one-on-one fight?

Before the snowball fight was even over, good news arrived: after checking the weather forecast and road conditions, the school notified students that they could go out, but advised against going too far because transportation was still inconvenient after the recent snowfall.

In addition, the hotel provides a free lunch at noon.

Shuichi Kanda and his group opted to head to the ski resort, which wasn't far from their hotel. While taking the bus would be more convenient, it was also within walking distance, though it would take about thirty minutes.

However, compared to the two groups of students attending the study session at the hotel, the students outside were in a much more relaxed mood.

Indeed, there's no harm in comparison.

Upon arriving at the ski resort, Shuichi Kanda told everyone to disperse.

"Although it's free time, we still hope everyone will act within their capabilities. Beginners should go to the beginner's area; the advanced areas are still too dangerous for you."

Speaking of this, Kanzaki gave Shuichi Kanda a strange look. This guy was clearly a beginner, but he could skate so well, it was simply illogical.

However, Shuichi Kanda did not choose to go to the advanced area today, but instead accompanied Hasebe to the basic area, because the girls in the group were all beginners, and Shuichi Kanda had almost had enough fun on the first day.

It's good to spend more time with them now.

The pleasant morning passed quickly, and at noon, Shuichi Kanda and the others decided to have lunch at the food court of the ski resort.

After ordering what they wanted to eat, Shuichi Kanda and the others sat down at the table and began to wait.

"Airi has already reached the beginner level, but Haruka, you've been slacking off all morning. What do you think I'm even in the beginner's area for?"

"What does it matter? I really don't like skiing."

"I think you don't just dislike skiing, you dislike all sports."

"Bingo!" Haruka grinned. "So, let me play by myself, okay?"

As he spoke, he winked at Shuichi Kanda.

This guy is actually acting all cute and affectionate.

Shuichi Kanda sighed, too lazy to bother with her anymore; as long as she was happy, that was all that mattered.

"Speaking of which, why isn't Xiao Geng back yet?"

Well, "Little Gossip" is Haruka's pet name for Kushida. Although Kushida has complained to Shuichi Kanda about Haruka's strange nicknames more than once in private, and Shuichi Kanda has also relayed it, Hasebe still does whatever he wants.

If Hasebe were to find out Kushida's true colors in the future... the thought is too much for Shuichi Kanda to bear.

As for why he waited for Kushida, it's because after skiing, Shuichi Kanda saw Kushida and invited her to have dinner together.

Accompanying her was Miki Yamamura, a girl from Class B who was in the same group as her.

Miki, I remember Kiryuin's mother was also named Miki.

After letting his thoughts wander for a moment, Shuichi Kanda saw his classmate Sakura jogging over.

"No, this is terrible! Kushida has gotten into a fight with a student from another school!"

Upon hearing Sakura's words, Shuichi Kanda's expression immediately darkened, and he stood up.

"Where?"

"Please, please follow me."

Shuichi Kanda quickly found the person.

In the crowded food court, Sakura pointed and pointed to Kushida and Yamamura being surrounded by five boys who appeared to be students. In addition to Kushida and Yamamura, there was also a girl from Class D named Nishino, who was also a student in Kushida's group.

Nishino was furious, while Kushida had a forced smile on his face, seemingly trying to appease both sides, and Yamamura looked somewhat at a loss.

As he got closer, Shuichi Kanda overheard their conversation.

"You bumped into us first, and you didn't even apologize? Our clothes got dirty with ramen soup."

"You should blame yourselves for not noticing Yamamura -kun walking by, right?"

So that's how it is; it was that Yamamura that was hit by those guys.

However, upon hearing Nishino's words, the other party immediately gave a mocking smile.

"Oh dear, she's like a female ghost, I didn't see her, right?"

"I'm really... so sorry."

Yamamura kept apologizing, and it seemed like she had been doing it for quite a while, but the other person ignored her.

"We're on an educational trip from Gifu, so we'll forgive you if you just play with us."

Upon hearing the other party's words, Shuichi Kanda's expression turned cold.

MD!

What kind of person are you?

Want my girlfriend to play with you?

Shuichi Kanda walked straight over, and as he passed a table, he picked up the ramen bowl of someone who had just finished eating.

"May I borrow it?"

Then, under the bewildered gaze of the ramen bowl owner, she walked up behind the guy who had been spouting nonsense at Kushida, and poured the entire bowl of ramen soup over his head.

Shuichi Kanda is 183cm tall, while the average height of Japan high school students is around 170cm.

The height difference of more than ten centimeters made Shuichi Kanda look like a giant.
