Practical teaching: Starting from the soul traveling through Dragon Garden

Chapter 136 Sakayanagi's Defeat

The first four games were almost all about Sakayanagi's passive fighting. Horikita had to be on high alert, as every subsequent game would be a tough battle.

The fifth game was about mental arithmetic, which was again Class A's specialty, but Horikita was not as panicked as one might imagine. Katsuragi had already agreed to let them win. It was a match point game, and as long as they won this one, the pressure in the following competitions would be much less.

Sakayanagi did not hesitate and sent Katsuragi and a girl named Tamiya.

Horikita sent out Kouenji and Wang Miyu.

Although Koenji was not willing to participate in the competition, Horikita first persuaded Wang Meiyu, and then invited Koenji to participate through Wang Meiyu.

The rules of mental arithmetic: There are two contestants, each of whom answers ten questions, and the one with the best score in each class is selected.

It can be said that Wang Meiyu is just here for the occasion, and the main thing still depends on Kouenji's performance. Sakayanagi naturally sees Katsuragi's intention to let him win, and she forces Katsuragi to show his strength by threatening to expel him from school, but in the end she is no match for Kouenji.

With the headset on Wang Meiyu's ear, Horikita knew that she could not command Kouenji.

Kouenji had just finished answering the tenth question, crushing his opponent by getting all ten questions right. He took the headset off Xiaomei's ear and said, "There won't be a next time, Horikita girl."

Although he won the game, Kouenji was not in a good mood. The feeling of being used was not elegant at all. However, when faced with the invitation of a lady (Wang Miyu), a gentleman (Kouenji) would not refuse. The fault was all Horikita's.

The sixth battle was Kyudo, a two-on-two Kyudo event. Although it was Class D's specialty, Class A won.

Be it luck or strength, Class D and Class A actually made it to the final decisive round.

Game 7, chess.

Looking at Hirata who was standing opposite Hashimoto, Sakayanagi nodded knowingly.

The first thirty minutes were left to Hirata and Hashimoto to perform on their own. When the thirty-minute mark was over, Horikita applied to replace the player, Ayanokouji came on the stage, and Sakayanagi also put on the headset and began remote control.

The real showdown has begun, and in these last thirty minutes, it is unclear who will win.

Horikita just brushed up on his knowledge of chess, and as a novice he could only watch silently.

"Come on, Sakayanagi."

Sakayanagi couldn't hear Ayanokouji's voice, but she could see his mouth shape clearly. Sakayanagi smiled, and she was very happy, as if she had won.

"Please give me some advice, Ayanokouji. Why do you have no expression at all? Are you too nervous? It doesn't matter. I won't let you lose in an embarrassing way."

Hashimoto laughed wildly, he knew how to play chess, and because of that he knew how strong Sakayanagi was, which was definitely at the professional level. The level that Hirata had revealed before could only be said to be average, and it was conceivable that Ayanokouji in front of him and Horikita behind him were not that strong either.

Ayanokouji takes over Hirata's chess game.

"Feel sorry!"

Hirata was very embarrassed because he was at a disadvantage in the game against Hashimoto, which undoubtedly made things more difficult for Ayanokouji.

Hirata also knew how important this game was to the class, so he felt very sorry.

"No matter who it is, no one can be stronger than me when I stop holding back." This is a very arrogant statement, something that the previously low-key Ayanokouji would never say. Regardless of whether it is true or not, it did comfort Hirata and Horikita who was in the classroom.

Sakayanagi also held up her little face: "Then let me see how I can defeat your false confidence."

Ayanokouji made the first move after coming on the court (Pawn E5). This move instantly destroyed the advantage that Hashimoto had built up in half an hour. Hashimoto's expression became serious and he was sweating profusely.

Knowing that this was no longer a situation where he could play as he pleased, Hashimoto wisely took over Sakayanagi's hand and followed Sakayanagi's instructions every step of the way.

But Hashimoto didn't just let his brain run wild and rely on Sakayanagi to perform. He also activated his annoying skill to harass Ayanokouji while playing chess: "Your chess style is very different? I can see that your basic skills are very solid. Who taught you? How long have you been learning chess?"

Ayanokouji ignored Hashimoto, but Hashimoto kept talking.

When there were five minutes left in the game, Sakayanagi, who had been playing fast chess with Ayanokouji, suddenly fell into a long period of thinking. It seemed that this would be the step that would determine the outcome of the game.

Sakayanagi's move overturned Ayanokouji's previous layout. Horikita's heart began to beat in the classroom. Sakayanagi's move was something that the current Horikita could never surpass. Even though the player was Ayanokouji, Horikita did not give up thinking. No one wanted to win more than her, but Horikita simply could not think of a way. In the end, she could only put all her hopes on Ayanokouji.

Hoshinomiya and Sakagami Digital Teacher behind him couldn't help but marvel at this magical game that was comparable to a world-class match.

In such a tense atmosphere, time ticked by. In the last three minutes, Ayanokouji, who was playing chess, remained expressionless. Even Hashimoto stopped beeping, giving Ayanokouji a quiet time to think. He also wanted to know how Ayanokouji would solve the princess's move.

With victory in hand, Sakayanagi was looking forward to the final bell. However, in the last thirty seconds, Ayanokouji looked at the surveillance camera in the distance and met Sakayanagi's gaze. The cold look in his eyes made Sakayanagi's smile disappear.

Ayanokouji raised his hand, and after that, he only gave Sakayanagi twenty-seven seconds to think.

"Princess!"

Hashimoto became impatient, but he couldn't wait for Sakayanagi's instructions because Sakayanagi's hands had already left the keyboard: "I lost..."

Sakayanagi's disappointment was visible to the naked eye, but she quickly adjusted herself, as if this was not her first time losing, and losing to Ayanokouji was not so difficult to accept. She just felt a sense of loneliness as if her heart was hollowed out.

In contrast, Horikita's joy was beyond words. She wanted to tell her brother and Ryuuen the news right away, but she restrained herself. After all, Sakayanagi was still there, taking care of her emotions a little.

"This is really unexpected. Congratulations, Horikita-san."

Sakagami Digital cheerfully sent his blessing, but Hoshinomiya, who had been cheering Horikita on, remained silent.

"It looks like Class A is going down."

Hoshinomiya's words were unusually cold. The last thing she wanted to see was Class D's victory, so she directed her anger at Sakayanagi.

Given the subtle gap between Class A, B, and C, Class A will inevitably be replaced by the victorious Class BC after losing 130 class points.

What a cruel reality. Sakagami also began to fantasize. Could it be that he would really be promoted to Class A in one fell swoop? This was simply unthinkable. Such a thing had never happened in Sakagami's more than ten years of coaching career.

When the time came to the exam, the competition among Class BC broke out long before the exam began. Compared with the serious confrontation among Class AD, the confrontation among Class BC was more intense.
