Chapter 257

Albert can do five or six at a time, but he can't do 20.

"Ryuen".

Katsuragi looked at Ryuen Kakeru calmly, "This time, shouldn't it be our turn to attack?"

"Okay. We're all tired now, so we'll stay at base camp," Ryuen said.

There is no problem with that.

Although he had seen the Matoba Ryuen's Ryuen surrounding Sudō, he couldn't say anything as a fellow member of the group.

And Albert did indeed achieve victory quickly.

Meanwhile, in Class C, Hachiman stayed at the White team's pole.

He quickly pulled out some pre-prepared tape from his pocket and swiftly stuck the recorder on.

After doing all this, he withdrew his hand.

And at this time.

"Shh!"

The whistle blew again, signaling the start of the second round of the match.

However, the students of Class A, who were just preparing to attack, were dumbfounded to see that all the students of Class D had left, completely abandoning their task of defending the flagpole.

"Ryuen, what are you doing!"

The students in Class A finally realized what was happening and shouted loudly.

Then two students from Class A immediately ran over and supported the flagpole, which was swaying precariously as no one was holding it up.

"I promised to let you attack together, but I didn't say we had to defend."

Laughing loudly, Ryuen led the students of Class D straight past the group of Class C and rushed towards Class B, who were guarding the flagpole.

"How can it be repaired!"

The students in Class A became somewhat angry, but they restrained themselves because they didn't want to lose the game.

All they could do was stay put and guard the flag.

"Albert, take them down!"

With a smug smile on his face, Ryuen raised his hand and made a throat-slitting gesture, as if slitting a knife across his neck.

His gaze toward the students in Class B was filled with deep contempt.

"How dare you! A mere Class D!"

Who do you think you are?!

"Kill them!"

The students in Class B were instantly enraged, and those who had been timid in the previous competition suddenly became incredibly energetic.

Ignoring Hirata's loud dissuasion, they rushed forward one by one.

"This teammate is hopeless, I can't carry him!"

Sudō's heart was bleeding, but he, who loved violence, endured it because he knew his mission.

It's about holding the flagpole.

But these guys are just too much to handle!

"Hehe..."

Ryuen watched this scene with a smug smile on his face.

Meanwhile, the members of Class D couldn't help but smile as they watched the members of Class B react just as Ryuen had predicted.

Then,

"Whoosh!"

"Ah! Why is the sandstorm so strong? I can't see anything!"

As if they had anticipated this, the students in Class D kicked up sand one by one, instantly turning the field into a sandstorm. The students from Class B, who were rushing towards them, had to close their eyes to avoid getting hurt.

However, with eyes closed, there is no way to defend oneself.

Then, they could only be divided and eliminated one by one by the people of Class D.

"Bang!"

One by one, the students from Class B were pushed to the ground, curled up, unable to get up at all.

It wasn't that I suffered great harm, but rather a matter of willpower.

However, they did make contributions.

At the very least, Albert, the strongest player in Class D, was held back by them.

Even if it's only temporary. Because the students of Class D have already arrived at Sudō's headquarters.

"Ah, who kicked me again! Ryuen, that's going too far, that's a foul!"

Sudō gritted his teeth and clung to the flagpole, but couldn't help screaming in agony.

There are very few students left in Class B around him.

Even protecting the flagpole is difficult, let alone protecting the Sudō.

And so, Sudō was once again attacked by Class D in the chaos, much to his grief and anger.

It was not unintentional, but rather premeditated.

This might be Class D's scheme: to beat Sudō as badly as possible, not just for the sake of winning this pole vaulting competition.

Because their real goal is to injure Sudō as much as possible!

How many points can be scored in this Red and White Competition pole vaulting competition?

Ryuen's goal has never been merely to win or lose.

He did it for the ultimate victory!

If we can defeat Sudō here and injure him.

This prevented him from participating in subsequent matches.

So, if Kōenji doesn't participate and they've lost Sudō's Class B, how can they possibly beat them?

"Hehe."

Ryuen coldly watched the Class B students struggling; these guys were just too naive.

The story of Tian Ji's Horse Racing Strategy is completely unnecessary.

As long as they cripple the opponent's strongest horse, they will not lose no matter what!

"So what if I fouled? Go ahead and report me if you dare!" Ryuen walked up to Sudō, but squatted down.

Sudō was still desperately clinging to the flagpole.

"Hand over the items!"

At Ryuen's command, Daichi Ishizaki immediately came to Sudō's side and reached into Sudō's pocket.

"What are you doing!" Sudō shouted immediately.

However, this was not the first time he had clashed with Ryuen, nor was it the first time he had been held hostage by Ryuen's people.

They're just all talk.

So Ishizaki quickly found something in Sudō's pants pocket.

What he took out was a voice recorder.

"That's not mine... Ryuen, you..." Sudō also noticed this.

However, when he looked in the direction where he saw Hachiman, he discovered that Hachiman Ryuen had been surrounded by four boys, making it impossible for him to get through.

"Hehe..." Ryuen chuckled dismissively.

Then.

"That's all there is to Hachiman Hikigaya's defense." Ryuen grasped the recording pen he had taken from Sudō's pocket and snapped it in two.

"Now, let's end this match!" With that, Ryuen pressed his right hand forward, and the White team's flagpole fell to the ground.

Without a doubt.

The White team lost the pole vault competition.

Although it can't be said that the White team didn't try.

Although the students in Class B have completely fallen into the rhythm of Class D.

Especially when led by a few incompetent teammates, they lose their composure and suffer a complete defeat.

Although Sudō was extremely frustrated.

But a loss is a loss.

"Damn it, we absolutely cannot lose again!"

Sudō lay on the ground, his fist slamming into the earth, his face filled with anger and resentment.

The people in Class D were ruthless, but also very cunning.

I won't hit his face, nor will I hit his exposed skin.

Even if he disclosed it afterward.

However, because the assault went unseen, he had no way of proving that his body was intact beforehand.

Therefore, it is possible that he deliberately injured himself to frame Class D.

Unable to convict the other party!

He had experienced something like this before.

Therefore, he was also well aware of the possible countermeasures for Class D.

What Ryuen just broke was the pen that Hachiman had placed on him. It wasn't an ordinary pen; it was a recording pen. His experience of being bullied by Ryuen would have been recorded, but the pen had already been destroyed by Ryuen.

In other words, even though you've been attacked, you have no way to retaliate!

Ryuen must have seen Hachiman Hikigaya give him the recording pen, which is why he did it on purpose.

It's unbearable to repair!

"We absolutely cannot lose to someone like Ryuen!"

Sudō shouted loudly, clearly injured, but being overpowered, he still had the potential to fight.

Ten minutes later.

Students from Class B and Class C stood on the same side.

This is a tug-of-war competition.

They were also divided into red and white groups.

It is one of the few cooperative competitive events.

For Sudō, this was his best chance to redeem himself!

Tug-of-war without tilting the pole is more straightforward and simple, a pure contest of strength between the two sides.

The thick hemp rope used in the tug-of-war is tied with a red skein in the middle, and then placed on the ground with three white lines marked with two dotted lines and one solid line, with the solid line in the middle above the rope.

The red and white teams also had completely different strategies in the tug-of-war.

Perhaps feeling that the pole vaulting technique wasn't useful in the competition, Ryuji Kanzaki proposed a solution where people with greater strength, taller stature, and heavier weight would stand at the back.

Hirata readily agreed.

But the Red team is different.

The more conservative Class A does want to implement this method.

However, the Red team is not only composed of Class A.
