Practical teaching, all I want is your reward.

In Japan, sports festivals and cultural festivals are very common events; Gao Yu probably just modified this event a bit.

"So, all we need to do is a little work, right?" Honami Ichinose asked to confirm.

“That’s right, besides these, there’s also planning.” Tachibana thought for a moment, “For example, the questions for the borrowing contest, the school allows our student council to come up with the questions.”

The borrowing contest is a type of competition in this sports festival. The game involves drawing a topic from a lottery box and then bringing back the item required by the topic as quickly as possible.

The most classic topic should be the person you like.

The school gave the opportunity to set the exam questions to the student council, probably because students understand each other better.

"Let's follow the same approach this year. The third-year students will be in charge of the venue, the second-year students will be in charge of setting the questions, and the first-year students will help prepare the equipment." Horikita Manabu assigned the simplest tasks to Suzuki Toru and the others, and said to Tachibana Akane, "Tachibana, if you have time, take them to the sports storage room. I think quite a few people will be borrowing sports equipment in the next couple of days."

"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Akane patted her chest, but her eyes were fixed on Toru Suzuki with ill intent.

Not only her, but Nagumo Ya also looked coldly at Suzuki Toru.

Tsk.

Chapter 248 An Unyielding Wall

Ever since exchanging badges with Suzuki Tetsu, Nagumo Masa has felt increasingly powerless.

No, that's not right. It's not just that he's willing but unable; it's that he no longer has any worldly desires. Even seeing a girl's skirt doesn't stir much emotion in him.

At first, Nan Yunya thought it was just a temporary boredom and that she would get over it after a while.

He waited and waited, and finally confirmed a fact.

He's not doing well.

Nan Yunya tried to recapture the feelings he once had with his childhood sweetheart. He believed that as long as he stayed by her side, worldly desires would return to him, and he could continue to enjoy life.

However, even his childhood friend Asahina Nazuna failed to awaken his dormant desires, leaving only simple feelings for his childhood friend.

Nangumo Masaru couldn't understand the reason at all. Even if he wasn't interested in other women, he should at least be interested in Asahina Nazuna!

Although Asahina Nazuna never agreed to date him, and their relationship remained limited to childhood friends without any further development, he had already come to regard Asahina Nazuna as his own possession.

Nan Yunya admitted that she often hangs out with other women, but it's just for fun, and they each get what they want.

Desire is desire, and destiny is destiny; Nan Yunya felt she could distinguish between the two very clearly.

If Suzuki Tetsu hadn't stopped him then, and he had used the opportunity to threaten Ichinose Honami into dating him, it would most likely have just been a fling, a way to pamper her like a vase, drain her of her value, and then discard her at will.

The idea was good, but reality has shattered it.

Nan Yunya stared coldly at Suzuki Tetsu. Although he didn't know what was going on, it didn't stop him from disliking Suzuki Tetsu.

Ultimately, if it weren't for the other person, I wouldn't be in this situation.

"Katsura, as your senior, I have a little advice for you," Nan Yunya suddenly said to Katsuragi Kohei. "You have a powerful weapon, so don't underestimate yourself. Class A is yours now, so you need to lead the class to victory and not lose."

Since Suzuki Tetsu sent Katsuragi Yasuhira to her, and she could completely devour Katsuragi Yasuhira, Nagumo Masaru refused to believe that a spy who ascended to the throne could not be ambitious, and could not possibly continue to be subservient to Suzuki Tetsu.

Therefore, Nagumo Masaru bluntly reminded Katsuragi Kohei of everything he currently possessed, even to the point that he could help the other party gain control of the class.

Katsuragi Kohei paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I won't let you down."

Honami Ichinose tilted her head, completely bewildered by the conversation between the two, unaware of the inside story.

Suzuki Tetsu didn't react, thinking to himself that it was fortunate he had retrieved the other badge and re-signed a contract with Class 3-C, otherwise there would be endless trouble now.

Seeing that he remained unmoved, Nan Yunya frowned slightly, and then let out a cold laugh.

It's okay, Nan Yunya has another way.

......

"I have a feeling that Nagumo will make a move against us soon."

On the way back to the dormitory, Katsuragi Kohei walked next to Suzuki Toru.

Honami Ichinose did not go back with them, but instead told them apologetically that she still had to go to the Keyaki Shopping Center.

"Don't worry about feeling it. He won't let us get away with such a good opportunity." Suzuki Tetsu thought to himself that he had the same idea. What's rare is that this sports festival involves the entire grade, so he shouldn't blame him for messing with them.

However, Nan Yunya's other scheme was the same as his, a perfectly legitimate and open plot, indicating that she would eventually turn Katsuragi Kohei against her.

Even if they can't be turned against each other, this will still create a rift between them.

It was precisely because he understood this that Katsuragi Kohei immediately followed Suzuki Toru after leaving the student council.

"Regarding the competition, I plan to first test everyone's level before confirming who will be responsible for assigning the competition." Katsuragi Kohei plans to finalize the selection of those to be assigned to the competition, and then slowly work out the overall competition.

Currently, there are a total of 13 events in the two competitions, of which 9 are in the overall competition.

100-meter race, hurdle race, pole-falling competition (boys), ball-throwing competition (girls), tug-of-war between boys and girls, obstacle course race, three-legged race, horseback fighting, and 200-meter race.

The competitions included a borrowing contest, a four-way tug-of-war, a mixed-gender three-legged race, and a 1200-meter relay race involving the entire grade.

Well, according to the school's rules, all of the above activities will be carried out within one day, with almost no rest time.

"Apart from the borrowing contest, which requires luck, the other events are all tough," Suzuki Tetsu thought for a moment. "I remember there are quite a few classmates in the class who are good at sports, such as Kito, Shimizu, Machida, and Motohi..."

Katsuragi Kohei stared at him with a strange look on his face; he seemed to know the class's level better than he did.

"How are you going to arrange it?"

“Me?” Suzuki Tetsu stopped and looked at the dormitory building in front of him. “I’m wondering if I should lose a match.”

Katsuragi Kohei was stunned.

"Although everyone believes that you can lead Class A to victory, which is why they follow you, this will also make the responsibility on your shoulders heavier and heavier."

In fact, it's not just about carrying heavy responsibilities.

Although it was only a hint at this time, Suzuki Tetsu still noticed that an atmosphere of arrogance and conceit was beginning to permeate Class A.

Like Totsuka Yahiko, who clearly gave up thinking and dumped the responsibility of leading Class A onto Katsuragi Kohei, while he himself stayed behind and cheered.

It's not that this is bad, but with Sakayanagi Arisu watching over Class A, and Nagumo Masaru and Ryuen Sho outside, a mistake might be magnified and the situation could suddenly reverse.

Instead of waiting for them to launch a sneak attack, it's better to launch a sneak attack on your own people first, which will minimize the losses.

Katsuragi Kohei was silent for a moment: "Only the winners have any value, right?"

“No, the person who can win back their losses is even more impressive.” Suzuki Tetsu smiled. “We’re too high-profile right now. Sometimes, taking a step back is the best way to move forward two steps at a time.”

Katsuragi Kohei's eyes were filled with complex emotions; he now truly had to admire Suzuki Toru's talent.

"By the way, how's your sister doing?" Suzuki Tetsu suddenly thought of the summer vacation.

"Later, I asked a classmate who was away participating in a club competition to take the gift out for me," Katsuragi Kohei replied briefly, because the school strictly restricted students from leaving campus, and even student council members did not have any special privileges.

“I think your sister should be very happy to receive a gift from her brother.” Suzuki Toru smiled slightly. During the summer vacation, he was on his way to the student council to tell Horikita Manabu about his exam results when he unexpectedly ran into Katsuragi Kohei.

Completely unlike his rugged appearance, this guy was actually preparing a birthday present for his sister and was planning to ask Horikita Manabu if he could leave school or send the present out of the school, but Horikita Manabu refused.

Faced with Suzuki Toru's teasing, Katsuragi Kohei awkwardly touched his bald head, unsure how to respond.

However, I felt a little strange, not expecting that Suzuki Toru would still remember this small matter.

Chapter 249 Senior Sister Guilong Academy

Although we're going to lose a game, there's a lot of room for maneuver in how we lose.

"Relying solely on the school's additional physical education classes isn't enough. Why not invite students from Class D to participate in our training every day after school?"

"Invite Class D?"

"The reason is to ensure victory in the grade-level competition, and helping Class D is not something that is unacceptable."

"That's possible, but wouldn't that reveal our class's strength?"

"Some will go to the indoor gymnasium, and others can go to the outdoor track and field. Moreover, Class D has no reason to leak information. If they lose, they will lose 100 points."

"That's fine. Let me think. Even if other classes come to scout, they can only get a general idea. The key is the non-participation form."

"Remember to try your best." Suzuki Toru sighed. "The harder you try, the more devastating the defeat will be, and the more likely it will be because of your own mistakes that the class loses. That way, they will understand your abilities."

Katsuragi Kohei looked at him in confusion, unable to see any reason for losing from these words.

"Let's not talk about the first graders yet; we need to study the second graders' strategies," Suzuki Tetsu said. "Losing a match in the grade group will deduct 100 points, and being ranked last in the grade will also deduct 100 points. In the best-case scenario, a class can lose 200 points."

“Even if we lose in the grade group, Nangumo’s class might not lose.” Katsuragi Kohei understood his meaning a little.

"So, we need to find a way to make him lose. Losing to just one grade level is something we can shift the blame for, but being at the bottom of the grade rankings is clearly a problem with Nagumo himself; it's because he's incompetent." Suzuki Tetsu had a general idea in mind. He had many rewards he could offer to help, but the more unrealistic the idea, the harder it was to explain.

Perhaps this will allow Nan Yunya to shift the blame to the mysterious phenomenon.

"I have no objection, but we might also suffer heavy losses, causing unease among everyone." Katsuragi Kohei was somewhat conflicted. Suzuki Toru's fighting style involved killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of his own.

"Based on the points ranking, as long as the class in the white group ranks one or two places higher than the class in the red group in the whole grade, that's fine. Our Class A will have to settle for second place." Suzuki Tetsu had already calculated it. This sports festival is entirely based on points, which means that the approximate final result can be calculated.

Katsuragi Kohei was taken aback; this didn't seem so unacceptable after all.

However, the question is, how will Toru Suzuki manipulate the points for the entire grade?

Suzuki Toru, of course, had to keep this a secret.

First, he wanted to see just how much strength the second-year rebels actually had and whether they were capable of handling the tasks ahead.

......

Around 11 p.m.

Suzuki Tetsu silently stared at the group of people in front of him, and he became even more silent after hearing Kiriyama Ikuha introduce them as the traitors who dared to oppose Nagumo Masaru.

"I know there are a few of us, but everyone is indeed dissatisfied with Nagumo. As long as we can achieve something, they will follow closely behind." Kiriyama Ikuha said, but he didn't seem very confident.

“Actually, you have already exceeded my original expectations in terms of scale,” Suzuki Tetsu said sincerely.

Despite Nagumo Masaru's combination of force and appeasement, Kiriyama Ikuha managed to bring four or five people, one of whom was a student from Class A, which was already quite good.

Seeing that he didn't mock her, Kiriyama Ikuha breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little ashamed: "Although I am the leader of the class, it doesn't mean that all the students in the class will listen to me. I can only try my best to fulfill your request, please don't take offense."

Now that things have come to this, Suzuki Toru naturally couldn't say anything critical; someone who could make Horikita Manabu feel wary must be no ordinary person.

If Kiriyama Ikuha could still maintain control of the class, he would suspect that the other party had actually lost to Nanami Masashi.

"Hahaha, Kiriyama, it's hilarious that you've ever been so humble!"
