Sakayanagi Might Be a Lucky Charm (Continued)

Even knowing this, and understanding the risks of Sakayanagi Arisu, Manabu Horikita, you still choose Sakayanagi over him?

Miyabi Nagumo looked stern on the summit platform.

And the audience.

Cheers erupted from Class A, First Year.

There was already a large portion of the Sakayanagi Faction there.

It's worth mentioning that the Class A's formation wasn't a separate line for boys and girls, but rather a mixed-gender formation of two lines.

One line has 14 people, and the other has 25 people.

The distribution of the number of people looks strange.

But the cheers were all for the 25-person team.

It's obvious.

Those were members of the Sakayanagi Faction.

Because Katsuragi failed to turn the tide during the Uninhabited Island Exam, and even caused everyone to be burdened with a debt of 30,000 points per month.

And now Class A is only 17 points ahead of Hachiman Hikigaya climbed up from Class D. It can be said that if Class A does not do well in any of the upcoming exams, it could be overtaken.

Therefore, Katsuragi has lost the support of most people. Even some of his own Katsuragi Faction students have defected.

And now.

This feeling of dejection suddenly changed again after Sakayanagi Arisu was announced as eligible to run for office.

When Katsuragi turned around, he found that there were only 8 students left in his row.

"These people have gone too far!" Katsuragi stood in the front row, while his underling Yahiko Totsuka was in the second position. Naturally, he also noticed the changes in his group of students.

Right under our noses, someone betrayed us.

"Keep quiet," Katsuragi said.

Katsuragi wouldn't deny that the exam on the Uninhabited Island was his mistake. Therefore, he wouldn't stop the changes in his team of students.

"Hush—" But the students from the Sakayanagi Faction next door responded to his words with a snort.

It seems that Class A is quite divided.

This is Hachiman's idea.

And.

Hachiman looked at the expression on Vice President Nagumo's face on the table.

I originally thought that my class had been promoted to Class B, and therefore I would only be able to belong to the White team.

Therefore, the probability of losing in a large group competition is 99%.

However, it now appears that the chances of the Red vs White team losing have dropped from 99% to at least 70%.

After introducing Sakayanagi Arisu's identity, Fujimaki slowly began to speak.

"First, I have a piece of advice for the first-year students. Although some of you may find it long-winded, I want you to understand that the Sports Festival is a very important exam."

The experience gained at the Sports Festival will undoubtedly be useful elsewhere in the future. Many exams may seem like games at first glance, but behind them lies a crucial battle for survival in school.

"Of course, right now everyone might not feel the real impact or have much motivation. But since you've participated, let's be prepared to win!"

"Finally, although this Sports Festival was divided into red and white groups, the only event that actually involved all grades was the final 1200-meter relay race. All other events were separate competitions for each grade."

Therefore, now, let's have each grade level gather confidently for a free discussion.

Senpai Fujimaki from Third-year Class A said a lot of ambiguous and equivocal things.

However...

What do you think?

Horikita turned her gaze to Hachiman. Although Horikita's little sister has grown somewhat, she hasn't yet reached the point where she's eyeing the next Student Council President.

And.

She also knew that Hachiman had been eating with Sakayanagi Arisu from Class A.

So, if you're prejudiced, then Sakayanagi Arisu must have something special to be able to keep eating with Hachiman Hikigaya.

So it's not surprising that he's now a candidate for the next Student Council President.

So she focused her attention back on Fujimaki, who was speaking on behalf of her brother.

Then there seemed to be some doubts.

Because.

"Fujimaki is talking nonsense."

Hachiman said without any mercy, "Your brother's speech at the entrance ceremony was very concise, but this rambling speech is something that had to be said in this occasion, but your brother didn't want to say it, so he arranged for Fujimaki to do it."

All right.

Suzune actually had some ideas as well.

Because what this Senpai Fujimaki said was meaningless.

Only.

She quickly overheard Hachiman's words, "Someone like that can get into Class A, looks like your brother has a tough time. Just like us."

"..."

But Horikita had a different opinion.

Because my brother is so outstanding, how come we can't even find a reliable classmate?

In this way.

Discussions between the groups began.

Class A and Class D are grouped together, and Class B and Class C are grouped together.

This arrangement appears to be somewhat unfair on the surface.

Because Class A is above Class B, Class C is above Class D.

Although it's the strongest Class A combined with the weakest Class D, the strength of the other grades' Class C is hard to say, but the pressure is a bit high for the current first-grade Class C.

Because Class C was originally Class B, the standard can be guaranteed, but Class B, where Hachiman and his group are now, climbed up from Class D, and the original hardware configuration has not changed.

Therefore, the two classes forming a team are actually at a disadvantage compared to the Red team composed of Class D.

However, the students in the class probably didn't think that much about it.

Instead, some boys became restless.

"It's Ichinose."

"She greeted me before and remembered my name—"

Um.

Hachiman discovers that the students in his class also have their advantages.

At least in his sycophantic behavior towards cute girls, he hasn't changed at all since the time on the Uninhabited Island.

"Hachiman, Horikita."

A crisp voice came from behind the two of them. It was Honami Ichinose, one of the Class representative from the former Class B, now Class C, who had just attracted everyone's attention.

She has beautiful, smooth long hair, a perfect and quite eye-catching figure, and an affability that surpasses even Kushida's.

Ichinose is quite popular among the first-year students.

It seems to be quite popular in all classes.

This was revealed by Kushida when she was venting her inner pressure.

"Ichinose."

At this point, Suzune Horikita, who was originally a blockhead, also became a bit more tactful.

Because this time they are teaming up with Class Ichinose, but Horikita is well aware of the strength of his own class, he guesses that, like the previous written exam, they will need Ichinose and her friends' help.

"Hachiman seems a bit serious. Is something bothering you?" Ichinose asked.

She noticed Hachiman's expression.

"Tomorrow after school, my class is going to conduct a physical fitness data survey of all students."

"Although it hasn't started yet, there are quite a few people in my class who are not good at sports and have poor Academic Ability," Hachiman said. "And Ichinose and I have been assigned to the same group this time."

"So, in the mandatory items that all students have to participate in, Ichinose, could your class go easy on these students? Let them get some points so they don't fall into the bottom ten," Hachiman said. "Because the bottom ten students will be penalized with a 10-point deduction in every subject of the next written exam. If that happens, my class definitely can't handle it."

"Oh." Ichinose nodded.

That means I understand what the other party wants.

However, Kanzaki was standing next to her, felt a bit cheated.

Because they had only just made contact, they had already lost the initiative.

I should have just waited for Hachiman Hikigaya and the others to come to us, instead of them taking the initiative to come forward.

Neither Kanzaki nor Ichinose showed much resistance to being demoted to Class C.

Because everyone's class evaluation scores are about the same.

Class A, 1108 points

Class B, 1091 points

Class C, 1071 points

A single exam could directly change the rankings of three classes.

Among them, Class A's score was also dragged down, so it was a good opportunity for Ichinose.

Therefore, Class C is quite motivated for this grade-wide Sports Festival.

Of course, having fighting spirit is one thing, but after reviewing the rules, you'll find that in addition to the grade rankings based on classes, there are also group competitions with classes from other grades.

They were in the White team, while the other grades' Red team all had Class A, which was unsettling, especially since the Student Council President, Manabu Horikita, was in Third-year Class A.

Therefore, standing opposite the Student Council President, the White team's chances of winning are not very high.

The reason why Ichinose has such a negative feeling about the Student Council President Ichinose she has been rejected twice for joining the Student Council.

And all the reasons were the same.

Not qualified yet.

So even if they didn't say it, Ichinose and Kanzaki felt that the White team was likely to lose.

Therefore, you should directly deduct 200 points.

Therefore.

That's why they came directly to find Hachiman and see if they could team up.

However, Hachiman asked them to go easy on him.

This is simply unbelievable.

"Of course, it's not like we're letting you off easy," Hachiman said. "Because this time, our White team might not necessarily lose."

Oh?

What does this sentence mean?

While Ichinose was frowning.

"Since it's a free discussion, it should be okay not to participate, right?"

Just then, the Red team on the other side suddenly started arguing.

Ryuen's undisguised arrogance instantly echoed throughout the entire stadium.

It instantly quieted down the previously noisy environment.

"Ryuen".
