Congratulations, Class A! 10k, No More Slacking Off at the Start of the Month! (Continued)

What about Hachiman's task?

In other words, wasn't Horikita rather dependent on Hachiman?

And if she was that obedient, paying the fee for Horikita to graduate from Class A wouldn't have been a big deal, just like Kamuro or Karuizawa.

But there was no possibility of such a thing being carried out.

Even though Classmate Sakayanagi had not taken the initiative to ask, she had noticed that Horikita seemed to have always regarded her as one of Hachiman's rabid admirers, and was openly trying to make her back down.

Thus.

This was a situation where she could tolerate Suzune Horikita, but Suzune Horikita could not accept her existence.

So reconciliation between the two sides was impossible.

"The large groups' scores."

Classmate Sakayanagi looked toward the huge display screen in the middle of the field.

Red team (Classes A and D) vs. White team (Classes B and C)

5532 points vs. 6290 points

From the compulsory events at the beginning until now, the gap had already widened to 700 points. Even if every class in the Red team won the upcoming 1200-meter events, it would not change anything.

Because the final all-grade combined 1200-meter relay had double points, with the top three receiving 20, 10, and 5 points.

Each class could send six people, meaning they could bring back a maximum of 120 points for their class, with 60 points and 30 points for second and third place.

That also depended on whether the randomly selected students were participating. If the opposing large group drew the results of the randomly selected students, the point gap could still not be narrowed.

These were brutally realistic scores, and basically no one was still considering whether a comeback was possible.

"Class D held you back," Sakayanagi said. "You did very well in that regard."
