Talent Is Something You Can't Get Without Starting Over

"Eh!? Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, you're quite strong!" Hirata seemed surprised. "Because the average guy only weighs 40 or 50 kg."

"?"

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji also noticed that Hirata's notebook contained data about the pond.

42.6kg.

It was only then that he realized what was happening. His gaze immediately turned towards Hachiman's direction.

However, Hachiman had already taken the grip strength meter and started grip strength testing.

The clock stayed at position 61 and didn't move.

"..." If we consider the other person's skill level, it is indeed around 60. So I wasn't lying to him.

"Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, is there a problem?" Hachiman came to report the results to Hirata.

"..." Kiyotaka Ayanokoji. The usually unassuming Kiyotaka Ayanokoji shook her head. "No."

Then he walked to the side.

"So, you just blatantly tested Kiyotaka Ayanokoji like that?"

On the second day of the physical fitness test, during lunch break, Hachiman arrived uninvited.

But we're not here to freeload.

He slightly leaked some information to Sakayanagi Arisu.

It's about the grip strength test for boys.

After listening, Sakayanagi Arisu asked a question in return.

"It's not exactly a test," Hachiman said. "I know he's extraordinary, but I also know I can't easily persuade him. It's impossible without a specific opportunity."

Previously, they used Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, the big boss, to trick Sakayanagi Arisu not participating in the battle.

However, after learning that Kiyotaka Ayanokoji was also in his class, Sakayanagi gave up participating in the battle.

It's clear that Sakayanagi knew some of the details.

So perhaps we can try to get some information out of Sakayanagi Arisu.

"That's a real shame," Sakayanagi said. "What I can tell you is that if he gets serious, perhaps no one in this school can beat him."

"Not even the Student Council President?"

"It probably won't work," Sakayanagi said. "Because the two of them grew up in completely different places."

Oh, I see.

That means Kiyotaka Ayanokoji's upbringing was quite problematic.

Hachiman then stopped discussing the topic.

Instead, they discussed the arrangement of contestants on the entry forms.

The entry form should be submitted one week before the Sports Festival, or at the latest one day before the start of the competition.

"Although all the students in the class have taken the test, and there seems to be plenty of time left to create the tables, it's pointless if we don't plan it out as much as possible and then do targeted training," Hachiman said. "So, I'll probably spend the next two days gathering information on the top players from other classes."

For example.

Hachiman looked at Kamuro Masumi Kamuro, who had long purple hair and long legs, and had just walked in through the door of the private room.

He has already had Hirata and Kushida summarize yesterday's physical fitness test data.

They even arranged for a team of glamorous girls from Karuizawa to input the data into an Excel spreadsheet for summarizing.

Of course, these girls wouldn't be that obedient, but Hachiman used it.

"Most of the students in the class have unsatisfactory physical fitness."

"If you end up in last place after the exam, there might be some accountability issues. But if you help now, you can say that you helped and did your best when you are held accountable."

Then these people went to do that part of the work.

They seem to know how to adapt to the times.

Since there aren't many reliable classmates, Hachiman Hikigaya has to try his best to find some.

"Kamuro, what project will you participate in?" Hachiman Hikigaya asked Kamuro, who had just entered.

"How could I possibly tell you!" Kamuro said in a rather aloof tone.

It doesn't act like a dog at all.

In other words...

Now the All-School Sports Festival is her home turf, so has she regained her pride?

"Then can I entrust this to you?" Hachiman asked.

"A commission?" Kamuro looked over warily.

"I have a friend who isn't good at sports, but there are still almost three weeks until the Sports Festival, so he might be able to improve with training," Hachiman said.

It's more than just that they're not good at it.

His friend is Airi Sakura.

Having obtained data from the entire class, it was immediately recognized that Sakura's data was the worst in almost all tests.

However, Sakura has been helpful on several occasions, and she is also a very ambitious person.

So perhaps there's some personal motive involved, but Hachiman still hopes to be able to help Sakura in some way.

"So I hope you can help my friend train," Hachiman said.

"..." Kamuro. "You think something like this is possible..."

Kamuro immediately wanted to refuse.

Because Hachiman Hikigaya and she are in different classes, specifically Class B and Class A, and the two classes are in a tense relationship, if she really helps the students of Class B train, wouldn't it be like she is aiding the enemy if word got out?

It has a bad reputation.

And.

Why would she do the other person such a big favor?

Your friend, you train yourself.

Or is it about paying money? If it's about hiring someone at a high price, she's not saying she can't consider it.

She still remembered that Hachiman Hikigaya sold her the exam papers for 100,000 yen, but the exam was never taken, so she had always wanted to get those 100,000 yen back.

Then.

Kamuro heard Sakayanagi's voice.

"Say yes."

Then, as if to add, it says, "Free."

You're so cute!

Kamuro's gaze instantly became as bright as Suzune Horikita's at first.

Chapter 170 Talent is something that can only be solved by restarting the game.

After lunch ended and Hachiman Hikigaya left, Kamuro looked over with displeasure.

Staring at Sakayanagi Arisu.

Why should I help people for free?

Because training others sounds simple, but it's not a simple task at all. It requires spending time with them every day. So when can you train them?

After school, she had to take care of Sakayanagi Arisu.

So it's only available in the early morning.

In other words...

This means sacrificing her precious time of sleeping in.

"Since it was Hachiman Hikigaya's initiative to recommend him, there's no harm in agreeing. This person has his own bottom line, so if you agree, I can gain a favor from him."

"At the same time, this is a chance to get into Class B," Sakayanagi said. "So there's nothing wrong with getting to know the students in Class B first."

Oh.

So why bother getting into Class B? Even though we climbed up from there, isn't that class full of trash?

And why is it that she does the work while you reap the benefits?

"If they are students in Class B, they can just pay a little money to buy it," Kamuro said.

She was aware that some students had already begun trying to reach out to the students in Class B.

There was nothing that could be done about it. They had just gone out to take an Island Exam and VIP Exam, and when they came back, this class, which used to be at the bottom, was now very close to Class A.

So we have to put in some effort, like planting spies or something.

"Eyeliner that can be bought with money is of no value," Sakayanagi Arisu said.

Then, gripping his cane with his left hand, he seemed to be about to leave.

Kamuro's gaze sharpened.

Because.

You look down on spending a little money, so you're going to sacrifice her chance to sleep in to train someone else?

Kamuro initially felt a little out of place during the Uninhabited Island Exam because Sakayanagi wasn't there, but now that he's back, it's understandable.

It's better that Sakayanagi Arisu isn't by her side.

While holding her cane, Sakayanagi Arisu opened the student ID screen on her phone.

[Name: Sakayanagi Arisu

Class: Class A, First Year

Gender: Female

Private Points account: 23.056 million

And there was an email from the school that she had received long ago in her inbox.

[Congratulations on becoming the first student in the school's history to accumulate 20 million Private Points. The school looks forward to your future development.] by the school administration.

Today's campus life was so boring. There was absolutely no challenge or difficulty.

The school curriculum has been adjusted this month, possibly to provide students with more training time.

A large number of physical education classes have been added.

The most recent period is the first period in the afternoon.

Halfway through the PE class, Horikita was taken away by Hachiman.

The reason was to investigate the strength of the seeded players in other classes.

"Didn't we say we were going to investigate after school?" Horikita, somewhat puzzled.

She was still a little confused.

Because Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly said yesterday that he wanted to leave the class, she didn't know what to do for a while.

Of course, as a member of this class, she also knew how difficult it would be to lead this class to the top.

Take this Sports Festival as an example. If we don't make proper arrangements, our class could quickly fall behind.

So it's normal for Hachiman to want to leave.

Hachiman Hikigaya the other party was good enough for him to leave.

But she couldn't do it at all.

"That's what I was thinking, but I think the other classes are thinking the same thing. And once the other classes realize they might be being investigated, they become more vigilant and try their best to hide their star players. So we need to seize the opportunity and observe them carefully."
