Ichinose, you will regret it.

Chapter 119 Horikita Suzune doesn't want to make any changes.

On the other side of the school playground.

Horikita Suzune sat on the grass and stared blankly at the screen of her mobile phone for a long time.

Is this... the difference between me and my elder brother?

I thought I didn't need help from others, so I gave up the power brought by this interpersonal relationship, and naturally I didn't receive any return from this power.

My brother accepted and used the power of this interpersonal relationship, combined with his own abilities, so he became the most outstanding student union president in Gaoyu's history.

Horikita Suzune hugged her knees with her hands, opened her phone screen, and found a photo of someone.

This was taken accidentally during the cruise competition. I originally wanted to delete it, but in the end I kept it for some unknown reason.

So...what about him?

If it were him, how would he solve this problem?

Give up interpersonal relationships and do not rely on help from others.

Finally, Horikita Suzune came to the conclusion with a hint of bitterness - if it were him, even if he didn't communicate with others at all, a group of people would surround him and cooperate with him in the three-legged race.

No matter how fast or slow he is, there will always be someone to match his rhythm.

Even if it was Horikita Suzune herself, even if Uesugi Gen was not as fast as her, she would still stop and cooperate with him.

Because he is strong enough, even if his physical ability is not good, his unmatched intelligence and judgment can make up for this disadvantage.

That's why his former classmates in Class B on the cruise ship let him do whatever he wanted after he saw through the truth about the summer special exam.

As a joke, he exchanged the 450 class points he could have gotten for more than million personal points and competed again.

Because the students in the original Class B believed that even if they competed again, their class would still win.

The same situation applies to the former leader of Class A, Arisu Sakayanagi. He lacks physical abilities but makes up for it in other areas, and is still able to unite the entire class.

In summary, Horikita Suzune came to her own conclusion bitterly.

Ultimately, it’s because of my own lack of ability.

His other abilities might be okay, but they were not strong enough to make up for his lack of teamwork ability, so he was assigned to Class D, which was known as a defective product.

So…do I have to compromise?

There was confusion in Horikita Suzune's eyes.

Abandon the idea of not wanting to cooperate with others, build good interpersonal relationships with others, make up for your shortcomings in teamwork, and gain recognition from your brother.

Lower your head...accept help from others, and then let others think that Horikita Suzune is just a weak person who needs help?

Horikita Suzune bit her lips involuntarily.

Once a person lowers his head, others will see the cowardice in his heart, but the girl named Horikita Suzune does not want others to discover her cowardice.

I... don't want this. I don't want to bow my head and accept help from others. No—

Ok?

Just as Horikita Suzune closed her eyes and was struggling in her heart, a chill that came from nowhere on her face woke her up instantly.

There is someone next to you!

Horikita Suzune, who has learned various fighting techniques such as judo and taekwondo, reflexively grabbed the opponent's hand and tried to throw him away.

"Why, I came to see you out of kindness, and you still want to hit me."

The familiar voice made her take action immediately.

"why you?"

Horikita Suzune opened her hands, half-closed her eyes and asked unhappily.

"Because I guess there's a confused girl here who needs my guidance."

Uesugi Gen straightened his clothes, looking like you need the Lord's guidance.

"Have something to drink, you'll feel better. I saw you were about to cry just now."

As Uesugi Gen said this, he casually threw the cold drink that he had just put on her face to her.

Horikita Suzune caught the drink and was stunned for a moment.

"Why is it Coke?"

"Why, do you have any opinions about the world's best-selling beverage?"

Uesugi Gen was furious that someone dared to insult his favorite drink.

Horikita Suzune didn't say anything, opened the pull ring of the Coke, and took a big gulp.

"Isn't this drinkable?"

Uesugi Gen immediately smiled happily and sat next to Horikita Suzune.

The sun had already set, and the sky was gradually dyed with golden afterglow.

"Uesugi, do you think I should try to build relationships with other people?"

Horikita Suzune looked at the clouds with a layer of gold edges in the distant sky and asked softly.

"That's up to you."

Uesugi Gen said as he lay down on the grass.

Horikita Suzune was silent for a while.

"I... don't want to engage in useless socializing with others."

"That's it, don't you want someone to stop you?"

Uesugi Gen spread his hands and said helplessly.

After hearing Uesugi Gen's answer, Horikita Suzune lowered her head and began to think quietly.

In fact, Horikita Suzune knew very well that there were only two paths before her:

Let go of what you have always insisted on, communicate with others, improve your teamwork skills and make up for your shortcomings.

Second, continue to improve your other abilities until they can completely make up for the lack of teamwork ability.

All along, Horikita Suzune has been following the second path.

However, she followed in her brother's footsteps and came to the High School of Idolization where strength is paramount, but was assigned to Class D, which was known as a defective class.

In addition, Horikita Manabu is in the third year and graduation is not far away. Horikita Suzune wants to get her brother's recognition before Horikita Manabu graduates, so she panicked all of a sudden.

Horikita Suzune turned her head and looked at Uesugi Gen who was lying on the grass.

In less than a year, I need to be promoted to Class A and get my brother's approval, and...

"Um...Uesugi Gen..."

Horikita Suzune stared at the distant scenery and softly called the name of the boy next to her.

"Hmm? What's going on, Miss Horikita?"

"I... don't want to make any changes, so... wait a minute, please."

"Wait until I... grow up enough to defeat you."

"Before graduation, I will definitely defeat you and make you admit that I am a strong person."

"That's okay, but you have to work harder. You won't be able to beat me if you just study in the dorm all day."

Uesugi Gen encouraged jokingly.

After hearing what Uesugi Gen said, Horikita Suzune stuffed the half-drunk Coke in her hand back into Uesugi Gen's hand.

"Give it back to you. Also, this stuff really tastes terrible."

“Alas~ I#!@#”

After saying that, Horikita Suzune walked straight towards the playground, ignoring the cursing voice of Uesugi Gen behind her.

……

Not long after, Horikita Suzune found her partner for the day, Nishimura Ryuko.

"Nishimura-san."

Nishimura Ryuko heard Horikita Suzune's call and silently turned around, with her back facing Horikita Suzune.

"What are you doing? I've already told Kushida-san that I want to change partners. If you want a partner, go find someone else."

"Nishimura-san, according to previous test data, the two of us are the most suitable choices."

"So what? I can't possibly keep up with you anyway."

"As long as we practice hard, theoretically we can coordinate perfectly."

"Who has so much time to practice this for a game they don't even know if they can win?"

"Well, Nishimura-san, from what I understand, you're really short on points, right? How about if you just coordinate with me and we win, all the points will be yours?"

"This……"

Nishimura Ryuko turned around in disbelief, as if she was meeting Horikita Suzune for the first time.

Chapter 120: Long Yuan: "I was beaten three times..."

Today, it was rare that the sky in Gaoyu was cloudy. The sky was no longer the cloudless blue, but was covered by thick gray clouds. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the clouds, shining down in patches. The air was filled with a moisture and coolness that was different from the one under the scorching sun.

The former Class B classroom.

The girls were excitedly discussing where to go in this weather, where a new store had opened, and where new clothes were available.

The boys' side is as simple as ever. Our former Class B chief steward and famous micro-manipulation master, Ryuji Kanzaki, is still leading the boys in Class B to rank the athletes with the best sports abilities in each class.

Kanzaki Ryuji: "Who is the athlete with the best overall ability among our first-year students?"

They felt that the last ranking was a bit too ambitious and undermined their own prestige, so they decided to make a new one.

Hamaguchi Tetsuya echoed, "Hmm? It's Shibata, right?"

Watanabe: "It depends on the situation... However, it should be Shibata, but that's just my personal opinion."

Sumida: "Isn't it Shibata? But if we include those who have no intention of participating, the situation might change slightly."

At this point, someone raised an objection.

"Well, I think Hirata-san is pretty amazing too."

"Just kidding, Shibata will definitely beat Hirata, okay? Shibata said he has always been faster than Hirata in the soccer club."

"Running fast doesn't necessarily mean being strong. I'm with Hirata in this one."

"I don't know who's stronger, but Hirata's performance is definitely better than Shibata's."

Shibata Sa's face was full of black lines: "Hey, that's enough!"

"Why are you so angry? We are helping you."

……

Still fighting?

Although these did not help much with the results of the sports festival, the former Class B students still enjoyed it.

In addition, Uesugi Gen expressed serious criticism of this behavior, saying, "You didn't even invite me to fight crickets with you. Do you still regard me as the squad leader?"

He also said that Hirata should be stronger than Shibata.

Just when Uesugi Gen was about to step forward to join in, a phone call suddenly came in.

【Horikita Academy】

When he saw this name, Uesugi Gen immediately gave his response.

Pretend not to hear!
