Chapter 268
A mixed-gender three-legged race.
There will be 5 matches per grade. If you have enough energy, you can pay points and play as a substitute.
But.
Playing consecutively also means physical exertion. Therefore, it is difficult to participate continuously.
Unless someone maintains their physical strength indefinitely.
"What a pity." Kanzaki from Class C, participated in this year's mixed-gender three-legged race.
Actually, there was Shibata in his class who ran even faster.
However, Shibata's strength and explosiveness are best suited for the 1200 meters.
So they arranged for him to come.
Certainly.
When he first learned that the Hachiman Hikigaya's class were going to arrange for Sudō to play for five consecutive championships, he was prepared to give up.
After all, his physical fitness is good, but it's still not as good as the cheater's.
The news we've received is that Sudō has run away.
Therefore, Class B now has no choice but to substitute players.
Looking at it, Class B has assigned Kiyotaka Ayanokoji with a low profile.
This student was Kanzaki had been assigned to tutor students in the Hachiman Hikigaya class during the previous written exam. Although he was assigned to tutor Sudō was in Kiyotaka Ayanokoji's group.
They are students with low profiles and are relatively ordinary.
It seems Hachiman Hikigaya class.
As an ally, Kanzaki also felt deeply regretful.
Because.
Their class has now been demoted to Class C, so they've joined the White team along with the Hachiman Hikigaya Class.
The total score of the White team was lower than that of the Red team.
The likelihood of ultimately losing is very high.
Therefore, they also have to bear the penalty of -200 points.
They're in the same boat as Class B, but Class B's situation is even worse.
It might be at the bottom.
Since they were going to lose the Red and White Competition, he could only try his best to get as many points as possible for his class and not let his class fall into the bottom two. So today, Kanzaki took Matoba absence of his ally Sudo and prepared to rack up points.
"We, Class A, will not lose." Katsuragi also noticed Ryuji Kanzaki Kanzaki challenged him before the match began.
In fact, Katsuragi wouldn't normally be so reckless.
However, the Katsuragi would appear here clearly indicates that he didn't participate in the 1200-meter race.
At first, when Hachiman Hikigaya was about to arrange for Sudō to rack up 5 consecutive points, although he was very angry, his Class A didn't have that kind of overpowered strength.
So all we can do is watch.
But now that Sudō has run away, he can naturally get a share of the pie.
So Katsuragi is going to try and score some points.
I'm prepared to sacrifice my chance to participate in the 1200 meters and then come here to rack up some points in the three-legged race.
He admitted that since he took charge of the class, the class's strengths had been diminishing or even disappearing.
But he felt he could get back what he had lost.
So he's going all out here to rack up points.
In this way.
I met Kanzaki here; she was also there to rack up points and try to get a bargain.
Both sides immediately regarded each other as formidable rivals.
Then.
"On your marks!"
"Preparation!"
"Start!" The referee's starting gun fired.
Katsuragi and Kanzaki, along with their partner, immediately began to act swiftly, and soon, the two felt quite pleased with their advantage.
But.
Soon, the two noticed someone speeding past them.
It flew past quickly, like a gentle breeze passing over a railing.
Yes.
The opponent was so fast that he practically carried his partner away.
Often, before their feet even touch the ground, their partner is dragged forward by the other.
"First place, First Year Class B." The referee was also taken aback for a moment before giving the result. "First Year Class B +50 points."
"..." Kanzaki.
"..." Katsuragi.
Day.
So why?
Katsuragi and Kanzaki both looked like they had seen a ghost.
Because this Kiyotaka Ayanokoji from First Year Class B is even faster than Sudō!
Kiyotaka Ayanokoji is very fast.
Even his partner Onodera was completely bewildered. She had thought that she would have to participate in the three-legged race for five consecutive times, so her physical strength must have been exhausted.
Therefore, she will be unable to participate in the 1200-meter relay race.
But now, completely carried along, she felt that her physical strength was more than enough to handle the relay race.
"Our class got 250 points!"
The top-ranked project in each category has a score of 50 points.
If you win 5 times in a row, then you get 50 x 5 = 250 points.
Moment.
The total scores for the four classes have changed again.
Class A, 856 points
Class B, 938 points
Class C, 810 points
Class D, 846 points
"Damn it!"
In the headquarters of First-year Class D.
Ryuen looked like he was about to vomit.
He thought Class B was doomed without Sudō and Kōenji, but now Kiyotaka Ayanokoji has emerged with even better physical abilities than Sudō.
They won first place in the three-legged race five times with an absolute advantage.
And now.
Their Class D's score actually ranked second to last.
"But it's not a complete loss," Kaneda said. "At least in the Red and White Competition, our Red team is still in control."
"So even in the worst-case scenario, it's +200-200, so there will be no points added or deducted."
As he spoke, Kaneda walked out of the headquarters to look at the LCD screen standing in the center of the playground.
All the individual or class events for first graders have been completed, leaving only the 1200-meter relay race, which will be held at 4 p. m. and will be open to the entire grade.
The whole grade 1200-meter mixed relay race
In this competition, the first place winner alone received 150 points!
The total score reached 375 points!
Although the entire grade competes together, this also means that as long as any class wins first place, they can pull off an incredible comeback!
After all, the gap can be widened by up to 150 points.
This is crucial for classes where the overall score is very close.
However, it won't have a significant impact on the total score.
Therefore, if the Red team gains an advantage in the current Red and White Competition matchup, it is almost impossible to reverse the situation.
Because the final score for the 1200 meters is only 375 points, even if all of them are taken by the first group, as long as the Red team has a lead of more than 400 points, the result of the Red and White Competition will be confirmed.
"What the hell?!"
At this moment, Kaneda pushed up his glasses and said incredulously.
Everyone then noticed that the scores for the Red vs White team had changed.
Red team vs. White team.
8345VS9002
"..."?
The red and white teams were separated by more than 400 points.
But.
However, the White team pulled ahead of the Red team by more than 600 points.
In other words,
"Could it be that the problem lies with the upperclassmen?"
The same idea came to Class A, First Year.
The Red team is composed of Class A and Class D from three grades.
The White team is composed of all Class B and Class C from all three grades.
In other words, not only first grade, but also the total scores of corresponding classes in higher grades will be included in the calculation.
Therefore, the scores of the four classes in the first grade are quite close, which seems normal, and it is impossible for them to have such a large difference in scores.
Then the problem must be with the older students.
"It seems that Nagumo has indeed chosen a magnificent betrayal of Manabu Horikita," Hachiman muttered to himself.
"Oh my, the 1200-meter race is about to start, and here you are sitting."
In the audience section, Hachiman had barely sat down when he noticed someone approaching with a cane.
This is Sakayanagi Arisu has beautiful, straight, silver-white hair.
She was the person who conserved the most energy in this Sports Festival.
She was clean and even had a slightly pleasant fragrance.
It seems that Classmate Sakayanagi is looking for him.
Rather, when Hachiman arrived at the audience seats, he noticed someone following him, and then Sakayanagi came over.
