Want to Act? Learn from Kushida!

That was the direction of Class A. The composed Katsuragi spoke up, "Are you sure you don't want to stay and discuss this? And can you bear the responsibility for that, and the responsibility for the inability of the other two classes to cooperate?"

When faced with Katsuragi's question, Ryuen remained unconcerned, his hands in his pockets, and casually dismissed it.

"Because talking to you is pointless and only wastes everyone's time."

"Ryuen, what kind of attitude is this! If your Class D doesn't want to continue, don't drag us down with you!" Ryuen's attitude immediately enraged Katsuragi's underling, Totsuka.

It was already upsetting enough that the Katsuragi Faction's students betrayed them right under their noses.

As a result, Ryuen has now been relegated to Class D, and they still refuse to cooperate.

Does Ryuen also look down on Class A?

At this moment, Katsuragi gently raised his left hand, signaling Yahiko to shut up.

He looked towards the summit platform.

"If other classes don't cooperate with the discussion, will my class have points deducted?" Katsuragi asked.

Then his gaze fell upon Senpai Fujimaki, who was the general director of the Sports Festival.

"This responsibility..."

Clearly, Senpai Fujimaki, who was pushed forward by Manabu Horikita, never expected such Matoba to occur.

So they panicked for a moment.

He held the microphone in his left hand and looked in Manabu Horikita's direction with a pleading look.

"Refusing to participate in the discussion will not result in a deduction of points," Manabu Horikita said calmly after taking the microphone.

Despite the commotion being started by Ryuen, everyone calmed down after the Student Council President's calm and serious words.

"But can you bear the consequences of going out of the discussion, or even becoming unsociable, on behalf of your class?" Manabu Horikita looked in the direction of Ryuen.

But Ryuen maintained a slight smile.

"Hmph, the Student Council President doesn't need to worry about that. Since there won't be any points deducted, then the little ones from Class D, go back!"

With a word from Ryuen, an astonishing Matoba unfolded.

That is, the two rows of students in Class D turned their heads at the same time, and Ryuen tossed his hair, turned around and walked out of the stadium.

When the students in Class D saw this, not a single one of them questioned it.

Instead, they willingly left with Ryuen.

Even after all the Class D had left the stadium, some were still immersed in what had just happened, finding it unbelievable.

The older students were still somewhat confused.

Because.

Just now, a first-year student Sakayanagi Arisu a high-profile appearance, and now, another first-year student is leading a class that is unconventional.

This year's first graders are going to defy the odds!

Chapter 168 If you want to act, learn from Kushida!

Ryuen walked away arrogantly.

In this Sports Festival, the entire grade's Class A and Class D formed the Red team.

Class B and Class C formed the White team.

Ryuen's arrogant departure now shows a lack of cooperation.

"Could this mean that even the White team might not necessarily lose, as Hachiman was saying?" Kanzaki asked.

"This..." Ichinose did not give an immediate response.

Because a large group consists of 6 classes, while Ryuen, despite its arrogance, is only one class.

Therefore, the role that Ryuen can play for the group may not be very significant.

However, the Class A, First Year were in a bad mood because their negotiations with Ryuen had just failed.

"This is outrageous! This is a major event that concerns all the classes! If we lose the competition, we'll lose at least 200 points!"

"Unbelievable. Those guys in Class D are hopeless."

"But this won't do, Katsuragi, we can't let Ryuen get dragged down with us!" Some students from Class A also sensed that something was wrong.

If the Red and White Competition team loses the match, they will lose 200 points.

Given the current slight gap between classes A, B, and C, if they lose 200 points, then Class A's position will be truly in jeopardy.

So the students from Class A surrounded Katsuragi.

"After all, it's under the leadership of someone like Ryuen, there's nothing we can do about it."

"Class A is so miserable!"

"Hey, what if our class suddenly gets promoted again after the Sports Festival? If that happens, that would be amazing!"

Meanwhile, the students in Class B, standing next to Class A, sighed with a hint of schadenfreude.

There was no other way; they had been oppressed too badly in the past.

Once they finally achieve success, they start showing off like nouveau riche.

When they were on the ship, they were mocking Class A, but now Class A and Class D are together.

I feel so happy.

"And you?"

Horikita suddenly asked.

"What?"

"Do you also think that cooperation is meaningless?"

Not really.

Hachiman shrugged. "After all, there's still the 1200-meter relay race that everyone has to participate in, isn't there?"

"..."

Horikita opened his mouth, thinking, "Isn't this just a matter of feeling it's useless?" So, although Ryuen's actions were high-profile, there wasn't really anything wrong with them.

Although somewhat discouraged, Horikita couldn't find any words to refute him.

Although the first rule divides all classes into red and white groups.

It seems that the members of the red and white teams need to unite and cooperate to fight against the other team.

However, if you look at the rules one by one in detail, you will find that...

There's no point in grouping them together!

Because most of the competitions are held separately for each grade level.

And rewards or punishments will be given based on the final total score.

In other words, no matter which class it is, everyone will try their best to get a higher score.

As for group discussions, there's absolutely no need for them.

The final results of the competition are divided into two parts: the team total score for the large group and the class total score.

We need to give it our all to ensure the class gets the highest score and avoids finishing last.

The overall team score depends on whether your class gives it their all and the other class also gives it their all.

Wouldn't that solve the problem?

Should we expect the other party to give in to us?

If a strong person deliberately yields to a bad teammate, it will only allow the enemy to surpass them.

The end result was that both classes ended up at the bottom.

Therefore, their opponents are not only the two classes in another group, but also another class in their own group.

The so-called cooperation is a complete joke.

Cooperation is based on the premise of mutual benefit.

But they simply lack the foundation and conditions for a win-win situation.

Because ultimately, there can only be one winner.

All they could do was ensure that their class could give it their all.

Ryuen, too, saw through this.

Therefore, he did not intend to waste time on meaningless discussions, since in the end, they would still have to fight over it anyway.

"..." And the people in Class B.

Ichinose and the others seemed to have read the questions completely and understood that the punishment for this exam was severe; no class wanted to fall behind and lose points.

So.

Every class will definitely try their best to increase their total score.

There are very few projects that the two classes can collaborate on.

Therefore, Hachiman Hikigaya and his group's suggestion to let their class go easy on them... would lower Class C's overall score.

Class C got screwed over.

Only.

Ichinose and the others are good people.

They didn't say anything to refuse.

"Hachiman, and Horikita!"

Just then, a classmate ran over. "Oh no! Sudō went to find Ryuen!"

Sudō?

Hachiman and Horikita exchanged a glance, then ran toward the exit of the stadium.

From afar, one could see Sudō confronting Ryuen's class alone.

"This hot-tempered guy..." Horikita frowned.

"It's not hard to understand," Hachiman said.

In the first month, Sudō was set up by Ryuen to commit Sudō assault. At that time, Hachiman Hikigaya and the others advised Sudō to be patient, saying that there would definitely be a sport he was good at.

Therefore, this year's all-grade Sports Festival is Sudō's home turf.

Since it's his home turf, Sudō would be doing himself a disservice if he didn't cause some trouble.

"Horikita, slow down too," Hachiman added.

"You mean..."

"Let Sudō pull Ryuen's taunts aside," Hachiman said.

Oh.

Horikita knew that Hachiman wanted to extract points from Ryuen through this Sports Festival, so he tried to antagonize Ryuen so that Ryuen would target their class.

Then you can proceed with the setup.

So now that Sudō has run into the problem himself, we can use Sudō as a key tool to record audio or video to find out Ryuen's shady methods.

And at the entrance of the stadium.

Tall and thin, with a red buzz cut, Sudō blocked Ryuen.

"Ryuen, I still remember the grudge from before!"

"This time, at the Sports Festival, I will completely crush your class!"

Sudō stood at the very front, stepping forward with his right foot, and sneered, "Besides, you've already been relegated to Class D, while I'm already in Class B!"

"Oh? Is that so?"
