Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

After all, there is no right or wrong in this matter.

There is no doubt that Horikita Manabu is an excellent brother. He can't even pretend to be a loser, let alone be as unreliable as himself.

It is natural for Horikita Suzune to be suppressed as the younger sister. Facing an all-round brother who is much better than her in every way and has no shortcomings, she has not completely collapsed, fallen into inferiority, and lived completely in her brother's shadow. This is already a rare talent for her.

Yes, everyone is right, but the problem still arises.

How to say this?

Is it this world that is wrong?

Sorry, I am already past the age of middle school.

While Hikigaya was thinking about something that was destined to have no answer, he looked at Horikita Suzune who was staring at Horikita Manabu's direction.

At this moment, the other person was looking straight into the distance, as if he was looking at something that he could not get but could not give up easily.

Hikigaya then shook his head silently, left quietly and went to do his own thing.

Soon after the third grade 100-meter race ended, the school began to collect scores for the entire grade in the first event.

Before the next competition began, the initial scores for the red and white groups were announced.

The red group scored 2130 points and the white group scored 1870 points.

Although the competition has just begun, the Red Group has already gained a huge advantage, which is enough to show how hard the three grades of Class A have worked.

Even though Class D is lagging behind, Classes B and C in the three grades have a huge gap with Class A, including Class A in the first grade.

Yes, Class A under the leadership of Ichinose performed bravely. As the most united class in the entire grade, they naturally performed very well in the performance of this ability system. From a distance, one could see that this class was united and full of vigor.

Of course, because he was worried that the guys in Class A would recognize him, and because of Ichinose who kept looking for him from time to time, Hikigaya didn't dare to get close to Class A, and he squatted down in a deserted corner as much as possible.

After the 100-meter race, the second event is the hurdles race, which is similar to the 100-meter race and is basically an event that easily and purely reflects running ability.

However, compared to pure running, hurdle running also requires a test of reaction ability. Everyone must not rush and must cross the hurdle accurately, otherwise they will hit or knock down the hurdle, which will increase the running time.

Although Hikigaya is relatively good at running, he does not have a clear feel for hurdles, an event that tests comprehensive abilities. He can only make sure not to fall behind.

"Hey, don't take the lowest place, that would be unfair to those of us who have worked so hard!"

As if to inspire the students' fighting spirit, Sudo Ken, on behalf of many people who are good at sports, deliberately put pressure on those who are not good at sports.

"This……"

People who are not good at exercise are already tense, and now they are kidnapped like this, which makes them even more uneasy, and for a while it has a counterproductive effect.

Hirata and the others were unable to stop it. After all, Class D still did not have a leader with strong power who could keep everyone under control.

As the current leader, Yosuke Hirata is best at trying to smooth things over.

However, the only person who had the ability to relieve this pressure, Kikyo Kushida, disappeared after the sports festival began.

Therefore, at the moment, no one in Class D can adjust this depressing atmosphere, causing the overall atmosphere of Class D to become worse.

"..."

Horikita Suzune also clearly felt the problems of Class D, but she couldn't even solve her own problems at the moment, let alone the class's problems.

In this situation, even Hikigaya could see that if this class continued like this, it would be doomed.

In contrast, Class A next door was a completely different story.

Whether it is the leader Ichinose or the several outstanding individuals under Class A, such as Ryuji Kanzaki and Sa Shibata, they all have the ability to influence the atmosphere around them.

Not only can they achieve better results themselves, but they can also drive the atmosphere of the entire class to a better level.

Just by looking at the appearance of the two classes, you can realize where the gap lies.

But knowing the problem does not mean being able to solve it. The biggest problem of Class D now is the lack of someone who can solve the problem. It is destined to keep going in the wrong direction.

……

The hurdle race will begin soon.

The situation was similar to the previous race.

Since Hikigaya was not good at reaction ability, his performance was not as good as in the running competition. He just got fifth place and did not receive any points deducted.

This was also because those in his group were ordinary people with relatively weak abilities. Neither Class B nor Class C had sent any strong members to form a group with him.

I don't know if this is a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement by Long Yuan.

If Long Yuan did it on purpose, he should thank the other party for giving him points on purpose.

Thinking of Ryuuen, Hikigaya couldn't help but look in the direction of Class B. He found that the current situation of Class B was quite normal, as if they didn't take the sports festival exam seriously at all.

Just as Hikigaya was thinking about what measures Ryuen would take, he heard a voice coming from the side.

"Horikita's grouping isn't very good." Hirata Yosuke frowned. "Former Class C has the fastest running speed. Yajima-san and Kinoshita-san from the track and field club are in the same group with her."

As a member of the soccer club, Hirata Yosuke was very familiar with the situation of each class, and he immediately saw the problem with Horikita's grouping.

When we think back to Horikita's 100-meter race, her opponent was also the powerful Ibuki Mio, it's hard not to suspect something was wrong with the grouping.

As expected, although Horikita Suzune tried hard in the competition and tried her best to win, she was unable to fight back against the attacks of the two aces of the former Class C.

In addition, every game required her to give her all to win, so the physical and mental fatigue directly crushed her. After she got the third place, she almost collapsed due to exhaustion.

Seeing this, some girls from Class D tried to help Horikita, but she pushed them back.

"I'm fine!"

Horikita pretended to be strong, but anyone could see that she was struggling.

The girls in Class D were treated as if their kindness was being taken for granted, and their already dissatisfied mood spread even further. They didn't even look at Horikita and just left.

Seeing all this, Hikigaya shook his head helplessly.

Well, although this is something I had expected a long time ago, I still have to say it.

This class is totally screwed.

Chapter 457: Hikigaya, what did you do, you bastard! !

A few more matches followed, and Hikigaya's performance was mediocre, but no one in Class D expected him to do anything special.

Among the others, Sudo and Hirata performed very well, achieving good results time and time again.

But in contrast, Horikita Suzune's performance was very strong at the beginning, but then it got worse and worse, and she even came in last in one game.

This situation is abnormal no matter how you look at it, and it is obvious that someone is targeting him.

But no one could imagine how other classes would target Horikita in such a fair competition environment.

Horikita himself was unable to shirk responsibility at all, and just regarded it as his own responsibility, with the expression on his face becoming increasingly stiff.

"The next game is the pole toppling contest." Hirata Yosuke said slowly, "This game is only open to boys. The rules are simple: both sides guard a pole and prevent the other side from pushing the pole down. Whichever side's pole is pushed down first loses."

Hirata briefly introduced the rules of the game, and all the boys looked thoughtful.

Sudo Ken shouted fiercely to the students with weaker physical fitness:

"You guys definitely have to work harder. Without that idiot Kouenji here, you're doomed if you don't work harder!"

Although what Sudo said was true and his purpose was to encourage the students in the class, his words still hurt the hearts of those in Class D who were not good at sports.

It's okay for people like Sotomura Hideo who are just giving up, but students like Yukimura Teruhiko who want to work hard but are forced to fall behind due to their physical fitness, just feel anxious.

On the other side, the students of Class A had also come over from a distance and were discussing the next countermeasures with Class D.

The representatives sent by Class A are Ryuji Kanzaki and Sa Shibata. Both of them performed bravely in the previous competitions, and the students of Class A they are leading are even more powerful.

On the other side, Ryuen Sho from Class B and Katsuragi Kōhei from Class C have also gathered together.

The current situations of the two classes are completely different. Ryuuen is in high spirits and looks confident, while Katsuragi has a complicated look and is full of anxiety about the performance in this exam.

This is understandable, as Kōhei Katsuragi has failed two special exams in a row, and his status in Class C has been severely impacted.

If Arisu Sakayanagi hadn't been unable to participate in this sports festival due to health problems, he would have stepped down long ago and would not have been able to serve as the leader of Class C.

Therefore, this exam can be said to be the last chance for Kōhei Katsuragi.

If he fails to perform well again, Class C will definitely not be lenient with him anymore and will completely push him out of the leadership position.

However, in this sports festival, Class C's performance cannot be said to be unsatisfactory, it can only be said to be quite poor.

The students in Namiyahara Class A are academically competent but not physically fit, so they are at a natural disadvantage in the sports festival exams.

Secondly, Arisu Sakayanagi clearly wanted to completely destroy Kōhei Katsuragi, so much so that he deliberately instigated the students of the Sakayanagi faction to engage in internal strife, causing the cohesion of this class to be incredibly poor.

In comparison, Class D is as united as them.

Under such circumstances, Class C's performance was naturally not much better. After a few games, it could be said that Katsuragi no longer saw any hope.

Hikigaya watched all this silently. On the surface, he acted as if nothing had happened, but in his heart he had already begun to think about it.

After all, he had just boasted to Arisu Sakayanagi that he would help Katsuragi Kōhei win, so he would naturally not do nothing now.

……

Since the pole-topping contest is a complex game, both sides must be as strategic as possible.

Regardless of the number of students in a class, they all have to think about strategies and compete based on the existing combat power.

Kanzaki and Hirata decided in a prior discussion that each class would take turns attacking and defending, and eventually settled on the format for the Red Team where Class D would be responsible for the attacking side first, with Class A taking over the responsibility of defending the pole.

This plan is quite in line with Hikigaya's wishes. If he is the attacking party, he can act according to his own wishes.

Sudo Ken was also very excited about this. He was an impulsive person, and even if he had changed now, he couldn't completely calm down.

Because the chaos of this game is so clear, the rules set by the school are quite vague and contain many specious clauses.

It can basically be confirmed that the outcome of the competition only depends on the final result, not the process.

Even if violent conflict occurs, the school will turn a blind eye.

Thinking of this, Hikigaya looked around at the students from various classes who were either nervous or excited. Just as he was silent, he heard the signal for the start of the game.

In an instant, students from all classes began to move. A large number of students pushed and shoved each other, vying to shout and charge forward.

Hikigaya was also among the charging crowd, but he was not a person who liked fighting, so he stayed slowly behind the main force.

During the process, he discovered that Ayanokouji had similar ideas to him and had no intention of moving forward.

It seems like this guy doesn't care about the test results at all...

Just like the Red Team, the White Team is also divided into the Offensive Team and the Defending Team, with Class B responsible for the Offense and Class C responsible for the Defense.

"If you want to be killed by me, come here!"

Sudo shouted fiercely and rushed directly into the enemy's camp. Relying on his tall stature, he easily broke through the encirclement.

"Stop him! Stop Sudou!"

Upon seeing this, the students from Class B immediately came over and surrounded him.

Sudo was held down by three or four male students, and no matter how strong he was, he was trapped.

At the same time, it was difficult for the students of Class D to come to support. After all, the problem with Class D was that although they had outstanding offensive power like Sudo, almost no one else was proud of their strength.

It was obvious that Ayanokouji was slacking off, and the other students in the class could only watch as Sudo Ken was being held back, unable to fight back.

When Sudo had his attack, Class B had to send a large number of people to surround him... However, thanks to him attracting everyone's attention, Hikigaya was able to carry out his mission.

At the moment, it is clear that the attention of Class B and Class C is all focused on Sudo Ken, or at least on the pillars of Class A's position.

In other words, no one in either the red group or the white group noticed his movements.

Coupled with Hikigaya's ability to hide his presence, it can be said that it is almost impossible for anyone in the entire space to notice where he is.

This ability to make one appear invisible is exactly his unique skill!

If I train hard, maybe I can become the sixth man of the miracle era like the protagonist of "Kuroko's Basketball". It's really hard not to think about it.

While no one was paying attention to him, Hikigaya took out the bandage he had stuffed in his pocket earlier and tied it around his head.

Since the red group all wore red headscarves and the white group all wore white headscarves, and the situation was so chaotic, it was difficult for ordinary people to observe his appearance carefully, and there was a high possibility that the other party would mistake him for someone in the same group.

Indeed, after covering his red headscarf with a bandage, Hikigaya successfully broke through Class B's defense and came to the back of the inverted pole.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the people in Class B had already rushed into the Red Group's position by virtue of their advantages. Their class had a large number of bad students, which made them very suitable for charging.
