Practical teaching: Starting from the soul traveling through Dragon Garden

Chapter 451 Backhand
Long Yuan patrolled the venue, and like Gui Tou in the morning, no one challenged him. After all, no one wanted to cause trouble. Even if they were lucky enough to win against Long Yuan, they were afraid of Long Yuan's retaliation afterward. Although Long Yuan would not do such a thing, others were quite certain that Long Yuan would. This was Long Yuan's reputation.

In the final free match, the main players all stepped back from the sidelines, and the teams sent out were all of average ability. It's estimated that everyone was afraid that the other teams would pull out their trump cards in the final match, so they went all out in the morning free match. In reality, no team had a trump card.

Longyuan was incredibly boring. The other students couldn't get enough of him, and Longyuan didn't even have the thought of challenging them. The others also deliberately avoided making eye contact with Longyuan.

After circling around, Longyuan returned to its starting point. By this time, Guitou had easily defeated two people. Now, he only needed to defeat one more person to finish the match.

Long Yuan grinned: "Hey, Ghost Head, you have eight points now. How about we revise our bet?"

"Huh? Are you scared? Long Yuan, scared that my score is higher than yours?"

"Tsk, if that's how you put it, then I won't change my mind. I challenge you, Ghost Head. If you're scared, it's not too late to surrender now. You can at least get half of the points."

Gui Tou was furious: "Long Yuan, you bastard! Are you that afraid of losing to me? You actually tried to instigate internal strife, how despicable!"

Gui Tou also noticed that the strength of the free matches in the afternoon was generally not as high as that in the morning. Therefore, it was highly likely that both Long Yuan and Gui Tou would win three matches, and then their points would be the same. However, since Gui Tou still had two points from the morning matches, after adding them together, Long Yuan would definitely lose.

If Longyuan challenges Guitou, the situation will be completely reversed if Guitou loses to Longyuan.

"So? Surrender or accept my challenge?"

"I accept, absolutely! I will definitely defeat you!"

Since Kito won his previous two matches by challenging others, he used other people's sports. Now that it's Ryuen's turn to challenge him, Kito can bring out his best skill, basketball, to compete.

The main hall was not suitable for playing basketball, so the school guided the two to the indoor gymnasium on the fifth floor.

"Singles, the winner is decided in three points!"

"It means that whoever scores three goals first wins, which is really simple and easy to understand."

Long Yuan explained it simply and clearly, referring to Gui Tou. As the rule-maker, Gui Tou hadn't included any rules that favored him. With such fair rules, Long Yuan didn't know how he lost.

School staff supervised from the sidelines. Long Yuan's basketball skills were decent, but not exactly professional. However, he was more than capable of dealing with Gui Tou. Gui Tou, despite his good technique, couldn't resist Long Yuan's provocation and played too hastily, allowing Long Yuan to outmaneuver him. By the time Gui Tou realized what was happening and tried to adjust his mindset, it was already too late.

Longyuan left behind a frustrated ghost head and returned alone to where he first started singing. He now had ten points, but Longyuan had no intention of challenging anyone else.

While he was playing basketball, many people had already left the court. Ryuen first found Ogura to check on his situation. This little nobody in the Horikita group was of average skill, but under Ryuen's arrangement, three people had lost to him. Now he had eight points, which was a bit unbelievable.

In this way, the Horikita group should not be in last place. On the other hand, Oda of the Kogenji group has already defeated Kamuro and then Watanabe. Both of them deliberately lost to Oda after winning two matches. Oda now has eighteen points.

"Hey, Oda, right? I challenge you."

Ryuen was in a good mood. All his plans were going smoothly. Now he only needed to deliberately lose to Oda, and the Kogenji group would definitely be number one. Kanzaki would be expelled, and Horikita would be saved. Sakayanagi's plan would also fall through.

Everything was so wonderful, until a discordant voice rang out.

"I surrender."

"Surrender? Are you that afraid of me!" Ryuen's expression was very ugly. Ryuen had known about Oda's personality beforehand. He was a very combative boy. Moreover, Kogenji should have arranged for Oda to do his best to get the highest score. Surrendering seemed like a good choice. Oda could still get nine points, but Kogenji's group would lose the possibility of becoming the first place.

"It's not fear, it's reason. Nine points are enough for our group to get second or third place. Rather than losing to you here, we might as well go back."

Oda adjusted his glasses, looking refined, but Ryuen breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. It turned out that it was his own judgment, not the instruction of Kōgenji or anyone else.

"Second, third? What a joke. With the current points, the Sakayanagi group, the first-year Yagami group, and the third-year Nagumo group all have higher points than your group. If you surrender here, our group will trample on your head. Coward, just surrender if you want."

Oda's words have made it clear that his purpose in surrendering is to obtain the school's reward. So we have to tell him that he won't get the reward by surrendering. Given Oda's personality, he will definitely try to struggle.

"Since that's the case, then Longyuan, let's test your skills! Don't think you can beat me easily!"

Oda took a deep breath. Although he knew that Ryuen was very strong, he was not without a chance of winning. As the challenger, the content of the match would be decided by Oda.

"Then let's give it a try. I want to see what you're made of."

Ryuen breathed a sigh of relief; he was genuinely afraid that Oda was a coward who wouldn't dare to accept the challenge.

"Hmph, you might not win. Let's have a darts game!"

Ryuen wasn't very interested in darts, so while Oda concentrated intently, went all out, and scored a high score of 86 points in ten throws, Ryuen only managed eight 10s and two 1s, narrowly losing.

Oda could hardly believe it. He had won, won against Ryuen, the Ryuen from Class A. But as he was overjoyed and felt like he could fly, Ryuen was already gone.

This trip is finally coming to an end.

Ryuen ran into Sakayanagi and Kamuro on her way back to her room.

"Ryuen-kun, since you like Kamuro so much, how about I arrange for her to transfer to your class?"

Kamuro was startled when Sakayanagi spoke, and Ryuen also noticed her displeasure, which was probably because Kamuro had discovered that Ryuen had arranged for Kamuro to lose to Oda.

"A gentleman does not take what others love. It's just that you didn't get first place. Sakayanagi, you don't have to take your anger out on Kamuro, do you? You just lost to me, haha."

Sakayanagi squinted, not seeming particularly angry: "Oh, so you're saying that the student from the Horikita group getting those points was also your doing?"

"You guessed right, but unfortunately there's no prize."

Ryuen was in a great mood, feeling extremely satisfied to see Sakayanagi's scheme thwarted.

However, Sakayanagi's lips curled up slightly, and Ryuen's emotional situation instantly turned sour. Could there be something he had overlooked?
"Ryuen-kun, no matter what the competition is like, there will always be a last place. Since Horikita's group isn't last, then who will be last? I'm really curious, which group is the unluckiest."

After finishing speaking, Sakayanagi left with Kamuro, and Ryuen's mood instantly plummeted, and he also became nervous!
That guy Sakayanagi has a backup plan!
