Ch 228 – Suzune vs Ibuki
In the entry list, Hachiman arranged for Sudo and Koenji to play in the first group.
Although the later abstained, but former won the championship and fighting spirit of the class was pretty good.
The second group arranged Hirata and Yukimura.
Among them, Hirata also won first place, but Yukimura was sixth.
The two students from Class C automatically abstained and became the bottom according to the deal.
Then 3rd group also has members from Class C.
The agreement between Hachiman and Ichinose is that among the nine mandatory events for all members, when there are seed players in Hachiman's class....
Ichinose and the others will avoid them, and when the cannon fodder from Hachiman's class comes on stage, her class will arrange for someone to abstain.
It can help poor students in Hachiman's class get some points.
At the same time, Ichinose's class can also get the battle strength schedule from Hachiman's class.
This can avoid the situation where the seed players of two classes are in the same group and cannot maximize their score.
After all, there are many groups in each competition.
As long as they are not stacked with other classes, it is a good thing to get first or second place.
It can barely be considered mutually beneficial.
Hachiman himself was placed in the fifth group.
Only, met an old acquaintance here.
It's Kanzaki Ryuji from Class C.
Because there is no need to let go in this round, Class C can be arranged normally.
'But I didn't expect Class C to actually send a good player over...Although I have been in contact with Kanzaki several times, he does not seem to like and is not very good at communicating with others.'
However, the information collected shows Kanzaki is also in football club and serves as the backbone.
He is a Sports maniac.
'.....I just don't know if Hirata can beat him.'
"Hikigaya, don't you have any physical talent?" Kanzaki is really not good at dealing with people.
As soon as he opens his mouth, he almost loses his friendship.
"Yeah....." Hachiman felt hurt. 'So, I got a relatively weak result of 4th place because I had no talent....'
But had no room to rest now.
There is Hurdle race!
Ten minutes later, gunfire was accompanied by sound of the bullet fired....
Second round of the hurdle race has begun.
There is not much difference between a hurdle race and a 100-meter run.
The distance is still 100 meters.
Just added some railing barriers.
Two more points were added to the rules.
1. Touch the railing and add 0.3 seconds.
2. Push down the railing and add 0.5 seconds.
There are sensors on the railings, so judgment in this regard is also very accurate.
Miscalculations rarely occur.
Hachiman in last group and meets an unexpected acquaintance.
"Hikigaya...." This is a tall boy with no hair, who looked directly at Hachiman. "You can take off the class in these exams. There is no doubt that you played a key role. So I'm here to meet you for a while...."
"Is that so...." Hachiman was noncommittal.
Kanzaki Ryuji was assigned to compete in the same group as him, which was a bit surprising, but now it seems that Kanzaki and Katsuragi in front of him all mean the same thing.
'I want to test his depth. Let's see if Hikigaya is also a sports fan who needs attention.'
Their efforts were probably in vain. When Hachiman was in junior high school, he was basically in the homecoming club.
The so-called going home department means going home after school and lying on the sofa, so there is no intention of studying or training one's body.
Then physical fitness is average.
However, because the current class is worst in the school, he is considered to be above average in own's home.
So at such a level, he needs to face two powerful enemies, and even arrange for two seed players to come over?
You know, whether it was running the 100 meters with Kanzaki just now or the hurdles, there are seeded runners in Ryuen's class.
So neither of two people got first place.
"It seems that Hikigaya's limit is only this...."

After the boys' 200 meters, when Hachiman reached the finish line, he found an acquaintance there.
It's a girl.
She has beautiful short silver-white hair, white skin, petite stature, and even wears white colour stockings.
But probably because of her poor health, she held a black cane in her left hand.
This is Sakayanagi Arisu.
At the same time, Hachiman also noticed that she was holding a camera in her right hand.
"Why are you here?"
'At the same time, I felt bad because from the look on Sakayanagi's face, she had just taken a photo....Sure enough, if I had trained a little bit more often, maybe I would have gotten second place instead of third....'
"Don't worry. I didn't take pictures of you when you were embarrassed."
'So, I was photographed when I was not embarrassed?' Although he felt ashamed for a moment, Hachiman still asked, "So, did you come here specifically to ask something?"
Sakayanagi's health is not good, and Hachiman deceived her at this sports meeting that she does not control Class A, so no need to come here.
"Because you will directly give up the main combat power of Koenji Rokusuke, I think you seem to want to do something interesting then."
She finished and then paused.
And Hachiman touched his head, she wants to get a piece of the pie.
"I will use the points that Koenji paid off for not participating in the competition where needed. But, Sakayanagi, how are you going to use the 20 million in your hand?"
"Um?"
"During the exam on island, Ryuen signed a contract with Katsuragi. Your class will pay him 1.2 million private points every month until graduation. And if you are asked to pay 20 million to buy out this agreement, what do you think?"
And this deal is clearly in the hands of Ryuen, but Hachiman directly wants to trade it.
This is very wrong.
"Let me think about it." But Sakayanagi didn't express any doubt about this. She didn't reject it immediately, but not accept it either.
"Then let's contact you after the sports meeting...."
Because girls' project is also about to start.
The School schedule starts with first graders and progresses to second and third.
First there are mandatory events for all participants, moving on are team competitions, and after lunch there are recommended events.
Among the compulsory events, boys' part is followed by the girls.
Very compact.
So Hachiman's personal compulsory project is over, and the girls' is about to begin.
He went directly to their side.

The girls are already in their places.
Hachiman also found Suzune.
Class D, first grade.
Ibuki Mio.
Although Suzune has never really competed with her, she has seen Ibuki Mio's information.
The school conducts data-based comparisons on the academic ability, intelligence, judgment, sports ability and teamwork of every student who enters the school.
As for Ibuki Mio, her physical fitness is particularly outstanding, so her evaluation is B.
This is something even most boys cannot achieve.
Suzune also inquired about the news, and Ibuki Mio still had some martial arts experience.
In a sense, she is very similar to her.
"Horikita Suzune."
Ibuki looked at her enemy, with a burning emotion bursting out of her eyes.
She got into a fight with Suzune.
She also looked at the physical test data of Class B students that Kushida brought and found that Horikita Suzune's data were very close to hers, so she wanted to have a showdown.
And, this is an opportunity.
She happened to be in the same group as Suzune and competed on the same battle stage.
"Ibuki Mio."
Suzune was not afraid.
As Horikita Suzune, who used to be very proud and felt that she should not be assigned to Class D, also has the capital to be proud of, as she is talented both academically and athletically.
Although she was hit several times when she came to this school, she has grown somewhat.
'So, I'm not afraid of Ibuki-san!'
In fact, she was quite dissatisfied with Ibuki's previous single-handedly sneaking into the class and becoming a spy.
Because this is a sign of being looked down upon.
If you are strong enough, other classes will not be able to arrange spies to come in.
Then, although Ryuen's class failed, there was no follow-up to Ibuki's intrusion into the class as a spy.
Here, Suzune hopes to defeat Ibuki.
This time she was on the field, and she was the second fastest among girls in her class.
As for the personnel arrangements made by Hachiman, Suzune hopes that Class B can take first place in the first 100 meters.
It can not only increase the confidence of Class B, but also bring pressure to her opposite.
Then it gave Ryuen, who wanted to target her, a good start.

Slut! Boom!
As the gunfire rang out, all the players rushed out, with Ibuki taking the lead, while Suzune's reaction was slightly slower.
This group is also same as the deal.
Class C has not sent any seed players, so now only Suzune and Ibuki are anxious.
Although Horikita started a little slower, her speed was still very fast.
She continued to exert force while accelerating, gradually approaching Ibuki.
And Ibuki was very concerned about her rival.
During the run, she turned around to pay attention to the distance between Suzune and her.
It seemed that because this move was stupid, Ibuki slowed down a little when she was nervous, and then quickly lost her advantage and became flat.
The two were instantly locked in a stalemate.
The 100 meters had already reached the final sprint stage.
Both of them tried their best, but at the last moment, Suzune's body protruded slightly forward and won the victory with a slight advantage.
The fierce competition made the audience excited.
"Man what a play!"
"Only if that girl's chest is big too!"
Cheers from those around him became louder.
"Thanks for your hard work." Hachiman reached the finish line with two bottles of water and handed them over.
Of course, one bottle of water is for Suzune, and the other for Ibuki.
"Eh?" Suzune took the mineral water, but was stunned subconsciously.
'Because the person Hachiman was talking to was not me, but Ibuki-san!'
