Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

The school will give hundreds of thousands of personal points to the students who score the highest in all competitions.

The school will award 10,000 personal points to each of the three students with the highest scores in each grade in all competitions.

Regarding violations - please read and abide by the rules of the competition. Violators will be treated as if they have been disqualified from the competition. Students with bad character and who violate the rules may be expelled from the competition, and the school will consider depriving the student of the points they have earned so far.

"Hey, hey, hey, isn't this rule too bad?"

"Will it actually affect the test results?"

"No, I did badly enough on the test!"

After seeing the exam rules, many students who were not good at sports wailed. They couldn't believe that they would have points or written test scores deducted if they came last in the competition.

Hikigaya was also one of those who were feeling uneasy. After all, he had no confidence in his physical fitness either.

Although he had received special training from the student council president before, as an ultimate otaku who lacked athletic ability since birth, he still lacked confidence in his physical fitness.

Although 1000 personal points were nothing to him, losing them in vain was a painful act.

Maybe I need to find someone to help with special training during this period?

At least I can't take the last place...

While many students had similar thoughts to Hikigaya, many sports students, led by Sudo Ken, couldn't help but cheer excitedly.

After all, for them, the sports festival is a time to show off their talents. Now, not only can they contribute to the class, but they can also earn points and test scores. It's simply wonderful.

As if to pour cold water on the students, Chabashira Sae continued, "Oh, yeah, regarding exam penalties, each grade has a special penalty mechanism, which is to add up the scores of each grade and punish the ten students with the lowest scores."

"Teacher, what is the content of this punishment?"

"Different grades have different contents. You first-year students will be punished by having your scores deducted on the next written test. Students who rank in the bottom ten in comprehensive scores will have ten points deducted. Please pay attention to this."

“Hey hey hey hey! Is this true?!”

After these words were spoken, even more people in Class D began to wail.

After all, a score of 10 is not something that can be obtained easily. For some students who are already on the edge of passing the exam, this punishment is almost the same as being forced to drop out.

Hikigaya, on the other hand, didn't care about it at all. If it was just a deduction of points, that would be completely acceptable.

But what I’m afraid of is that the school will suddenly increase the difficulty of the exams, making it more difficult to pass.

In that case, if he wanted to buy 10 points, he would have to spend millions of points, which was really the last thing he wanted to happen.

It turns out that I have to find someone to help me with special training.

But who can I find to help me exercise?

The president certainly doesn't have the free time to exercise.

As for the other candidates...

Thinking back to the people he knew in this school, Hikigaya finally and decisively rejected the idea of ​​asking anyone for help.

It’s just exercise, you can do it by yourself!

perhaps……

In short, no matter what, we must avoid the worst outcome of having personal points deducted!

Chapter 425: Hikigaya Why do you want to help Kushida? Do you like her?

While Hikigaya was thinking about how to avoid falling into the dilemma of being counted down, the homeroom teacher, Chabashira Sae, had already begun explaining the details of the sports festival to the students in more detail.

First of all, the biggest difference between different examination programs is the two types of programs: full participation programs and recommended participation programs.

As the name suggests, all students in the class must participate in the event, and every student must contribute in the competition.

The recommended events are competitions in which some students are selected from the class to participate, and it is okay for one person to participate in multiple recommended events.

Compared with all participating events, recommended events will earn more points and are naturally more difficult. The abilities of different players will directly determine the upper limit of this type of competition.

Compared with previous special exams, the rules of this sports festival are much simpler, resulting in particularly low operability.

It is difficult to turn the tide of battle through pure strategy, and you need to look at the direct class gap.

The only thing worth noting is the red and white grouping. It is natural to pay attention to Class B and Class C who have become enemies, but Class D must also pay attention to Class A who is their partner.

Basically, classes in the same group should help each other, but in order to win the comprehensive scores of each grade, different classes must also try their best to rely on themselves to get top places in various competitions.

After describing the key points that needed attention, Chabashira Sae slowly looked at the students in the class and said, "To sum up, these are the specific rules for this sports festival. As for the specific events, they are all recorded in detail in the materials in your hands and there will be no changes."

After hearing what Chabashira Sae said, the students looked at the materials in their hands and found that there were indeed a lot of explanations about the exam items.

All participating projects:

100-meter race, hurdle race, pole-tossing competition (male only), pitching competition (female only), tug-of-war between male and female teams, obstacle race, three-legged race, horse-riding battle, 200-meter race

Recommended projects:

Borrowing competition, tug-of-war, mixed three-legged race, and 1,200-meter relay race for all grades

The information lists a total of thirteen classic competition events.

Seeing all these projects, Hirata Yosuke couldn't help but ask doubtfully, "Can so many projects really be completed in one day?"

"I appreciate your concern, but the school certainly has its considerations," Chabashira Sae responded calmly, "There will be no support activities, dances, group gymnastics, etc. on that day. The sports festival is entirely an event to compete in physical strength and motor nerves."

"This……"

Chabashira Sae's words dispelled the illusions of all the students and made everyone realize that this was a hurdle that had to be overcome.

"Next, there is one more very important thing. Here is something called an entry form. The entry form contains the details of all the events." Chabashira Sae took out a form and slapped it on the table. "Next, you need to select the appropriate participants and write down the order of participation on this entry form. Then ask me, as the class teacher, to hand it over. This is not the format used in junior high schools before, so I hope you will be careful not to make any mistakes."

"You said you want to decide the order of participation yourself, but to what extent do you want to decide...?"

Hirata raised the question again.

"All of them." Chabashira Sae gave the expected answer. "All the competitions held on the day of the sports festival, even who will run in which group, will be decided by you guys."

"After the deadline, no replacement of contestants is allowed for any reason. The submission period is from one week before the sports festival to 5pm the day before. If you exceed the submission deadline, the school will randomly assign participants, so please be aware of this."

Chabashira Sae's clear words finally made everyone understand the rules of the exam.

At this point, every student in the class has stress written all over their face.

At this moment, Horikita, who had been listening quietly, suddenly raised his hand and said:

"Can I ask a question, please?"

"Ask whatever you want. After all, now is the only time to ask."

Chabashira Sae responded calmly.

"What I want to ask is, what should we do if a participant is absent after registering? We cannot predict the physical condition of the participants on the day, especially with so many multi-person projects. Once a member has a problem, it will directly affect the test results."

"Good question." Chabashira Sae nodded, praising Horikita's responsiveness. "The answer to this question is that there is no way. If you have a physical condition on the day, it will be directly regarded as a forfeit. The same applies to any competition. So after making your choice, you should also pay attention to the physical condition of the contestants."

“These are very strict conditions.”

"You can think so." Chabashira Sae had just finished saying this, but then changed the subject, "However, if a contestant really has a physical condition, it is not completely unsolvable. As I said before, there is nothing in this school that cannot be bought with points, so if someone abstains, as long as you spend points, you can appoint a substitute player to play."

"Hey, can we find a replacement?"

After hearing what the head teacher said, the students all showed surprised expressions. They didn't expect that this school would suddenly become so kind.

But Horikita vaguely realized something and asked:

"How many points are needed to be a substitute?"

"The substitutes for each competition are paid hundreds of thousands of points each. It is your freedom to decide whether you think it is expensive or cheap."

"One hundred thousand?"

Hearing this huge number, the students in Class D were once again shocked by the cruel behavior of this school and felt helpless from the bottom of their hearts.

In fact, this is indeed a not-so-small number.

If used properly, these one hundred thousand might even create miracles.

"Well, that's all for the rules." Chabashira Sae concluded slowly. "The next class will move to the first gymnasium and meet with the classes from other grades. That's all."

Seeing Chabashi Sae leave, the originally somewhat oppressive silence in Class D suddenly exploded.

The older brothers in the class gathered together and began to discuss the sports festival as they pleased.

There are groups centered around Hirata Yosuke, groups centered around Karuizawa Megumi and Shinohara Satsuki, groups centered around Kushida Kikyo, groups centered around the three idiots and Ayanokouji, and a few lone rangers.

The general trend of this class is really clear at a glance.

During the process, Hikigaya discovered that Kushida Kikyo secretly glanced at him, but quickly turned her head away, making it unclear what the other person's purpose was.

In addition, he unexpectedly discovered that Ayanokouji was secretly observing Kushida, his eyes full of prying and vigilance.

Obviously, in the last cruise ship exam, although Hikigaya successfully made up for Kushida's mistakes and prevented him from betraying the class, Ayanokouji still had doubts about Kushida.

I hope Kushida can behave himself in the next period of time, otherwise if he is targeted by Ayanokouji, it will be difficult for him to save him.

Next, most of the class started discussing the sports festival and began to plan for meeting with other classes later.

At that time, Class D and Class A will officially establish a cooperative relationship.

Oh no! When he thought about the possible reactions of Ichinose and the people in Class A, Hikigaya couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.

"Hikigaya, do you have any good ideas about this exam?"

Suddenly, a girl's voice came from behind.

It was really a bit strange that Horikita Suzune, who always had a very high self-esteem and never took the initiative to ask other people for advice, actually took the initiative to ask me about the content of the exam.

Hikigaya was curious about this and asked, "You want to seek my advice? Are you sure?"

"..."

Horikita seemed to realize that her behavior was a little abnormal, but under the stimulation of some emotions, she still spoke reluctantly: "During the last cruise ship exam, it was you who helped Kushida reach a cooperation with Class C, right?"

"Why do you think so?"

"After that incident, you and Kushida obviously became much closer."

"Are you secretly observing me?"

"I don't deny that."

Unexpectedly, Horikita Suzune voluntarily admitted her voyeuristic behavior. Hikigaya finally realized to what extent the other party had been pushed.

It can be imagined that after two consecutive failures in the uninhabited island exam and the cruise ship exam, Horikita Suzune had completely doubted her own abilities, but her overly high self-esteem still prevented her from admitting her own weakness, so that she made such an awkward move in the end.

For her, admitting that she is not as good as Hikigaya is a thousand times better than admitting that she is not as good as Kushida.

"I know what you're thinking, but why do you think I can give you advice?"

"Do you want to get paid?" Misunderstanding Hikigaya's meaning, Horikita Suzune's stubborn face showed a hint of hesitation, "As long as it is something I can do, you can ask me for anything you want, or you can propose the conditions you used to help Kushida, I think I can do it too."

"..."

Facing Horikita's attitude of completely misunderstanding him, Hikigaya sighed: "I didn't mean what you thought. I didn't receive any payment from Kushida at the beginning."

"Then why are you helping Kushida? Do you like her?"

Horikita suddenly frowned.

"What are you thinking about!" Hikigaya had never expected the topic to turn into this, so he could only speak silently, "What I mean is, I can't help you with this exam."

"why?"

"This exam is different from the previous ones. It is not something that can be solved by tricks."

"Are you sure? I don't think this exam is any different. Are you just trying to fool me?"

Horikita crossed her arms and looked skeptical.

In response to this, Hikigaya couldn't help but sigh, realizing that Horikita had become a little obsessed with the pursuit of victory.

The enormous pressure she was carrying not only made her unable to see the reality clearly, but also made her unable to listen to rational words. She was completely shrouded in obsession.

Chapter 426: Kneel down and kowtow to Long Yuan, maybe he will give you the answer!

Horikita Suzune is pursuing victory in the exam because she hopes to get Class D promoted, and it would be best if she could create a miracle and reach Class A directly.
