Demon Slayer: I was taken home by Shinobu Kocho at the beginning.

After the bell rang, the students in Class C were preparing to leave the playground when they discovered spies from several other classes.

"Wow, someone's already investigating our abilities so quickly."

Upon seeing the spies from other classes, Ishizaki and the others showed no signs of vigilance; instead, they appeared rather smug.

That's right. The fact that people are so wary of Class C proves that their strength is indeed formidable.

Fortunately, I didn't use my full strength, but the power I just displayed should make them want to avoid me.

At this moment, Tatsuya Kamio also came up with an idea: perhaps he could leak the information about which group he was in.

If someone avoids you, that's best; if someone stubbornly insists on coming at you...

Hehehe, then don't blame me for being impolite!

Chapter 182 I'm still far from good enough.

Back in the classroom, Kamio Tatsuya began to discuss the overall project with Ryuen.

What are your plans for the upcoming matches?

Besides the recommended projects, there are a total of nine projects that all participants must attend.

The races included the 100-meter dash, the 110-meter hurdles race, the women's ball-throwing competition, the men's and women's tug-of-war, the obstacle course race, the three-legged 100-meter race, horseback fighting, and the final 200-meter race.

Except for the men's pole-falling competition, the men's and women's group tug-of-war, and the horse-riding battle, which do not require grouping and all participants will need to compete together, all other events will require grouping.

Faced with Tatsuya Kamio's question, Ryuen thought for a moment, then took out his phone and showed it to Tatsuya Kamio.

"Let's make a deal. I'll provide you with the competition form for Class D, and in return, you teach Horikita Suzune a lesson."

"You don't actually believe that, do you?"

Kamio Tatsuya was speechless. You clearly said you didn't believe me this morning.

"Whether you believe it or not is another matter. I plan to wait until they provide me with the competition schedule for Class D before making any decisions. Until then, I'll let these guys train on their own."

Longyuan glanced at the still excited students of Class C.

"Also, there are 21 boys in Class C, and there will be one extra for the two-legged and three-legged teams." Kamio Tatsuya also brought up this matter. "Think about who should abstain. Of course, it's okay if I abstain."

"Hehe, then I'll have to trouble you."

Ryuen happily adopted Tatsuya Kamio's suggestion.

Kamio Tatsuya expressed his understanding of this.

For the members of Class C, Kamio Tatsuya was an outsider, and they weren't familiar with each other. It wouldn't be right to ask others to forfeit just because of Kamio Tatsuya.

However, Ryuen did not intend to actually not use Kamio Tatsuya, such a useful piece.

He planned to have a student from Class C who wasn't good at sports voluntarily withdraw from the competition.

Meanwhile, Tatsuya Kamio was pondering the idea that had suddenly come to him.

Until the order of participation cannot be changed, it is necessary for each class to find out the athletic abilities and participation order of students in other classes, and then adjust the participation order based on this information.

However, there's no need to worry about Class D's entry list; once they make their decision, Tatsuya Kamio will naturally be able to obtain it quickly.

It was really good to leave Karuizawa as a pawn in Class D.

However, we also need to find out who sent that message to Longyuan.

Could it be Kushida?

Tatsuya Kamio took out his phone, wanting to send a message to Kushida directly.

No, forget it. We can just wait for that anonymous person to send over Class D's entry form and then compare it with the entry form sent by Karuizawa.

Now is not the time to consider these things.

After school, Tatsuya Kamio went to the student council office.

"Good afternoon, Chairman."

As soon as he finished greeting him, Horikita Manabu threw at him yesterday's work notes from Kamio Tatsuya.

"The work content is unqualified, redo it."

Damn it?

"What's wrong with it? You have to give a reason."

Kamio Tatsuya didn't want to redo everything from start to finish; that would be too stupid. Besides, he didn't think there was anything wrong with his job duties.

"Horikita student council president's glasses, was that your idea?"

Tsk, it really is this.

"Yeah, it's a borrowing contest, anyway, the student council president will definitely be there, right?"

"Change it for me."

"It's not like it doesn't exist, and besides, it's a sports festival, so let everyone have some fun." Kamio Tatsuya definitely wouldn't change his mind.

"That's right, President. Besides, there's only one slip of paper like this, and it's not certain that anyone will get it." Akane Tachibana chimed in, adding her support.

hiss!

Is she planning to participate in a borrowing contest and then win this thing?

Horikita Manabu's lips twitched, and then he agreed to Tachibana Akane's request.

Haha, what I say doesn't work, but you won't object to what she says, so just spoil her!

Bored during his time in the student council, Horikita Manabu stood up from his seat at 5 p.m.

"President, are you going to the gym?"

It's no secret that Horikita Manabu goes to the school gym to work out every afternoon at 5 p.m. whenever he has free time.

The reason Kamio Tatsuya asked this question was naturally because he wanted something from her.

Last May, Tatsuya Kamio witnessed Manabu Horikita assaulting Ayanokoji.

Although a fight didn't ultimately break out, Horikita Manabu's swift and fierce attacks left a very deep impression on Kamio Tatsuya.

Not only Horikita Manabu, but also Ayanokouji, who claimed to have practiced calligraphy and piano, easily dodged Horikita Manabu's two tricky attacks.

Kamio Tatsuya is currently in Class C. If he gets into a heated argument with Ryuen someday, given Ryuen's personality, he might just start hitting him.

Believe it or not, that guy could actually do it.

Therefore, Tatsuya Kamio felt it was necessary to learn how to fight in order to defend himself.

Moreover, having finally obtained a good physique from the system, wouldn't it be a waste not to exercise it?

"That's right. So, you're interested in exercising too?"

A strange smile appeared on Horikita Manabu's face.

Seeing Horikita's smile, Kamio Tatsuya felt a chill run down his spine. Dude, don't smile like that, it's making me nervous.

"Well, I've been feeling that this school is a bit dangerous lately, so I'm planning to learn something to protect myself."

After giving Tatsuya Kamio a meaningful look, Manabu Horikita agreed.

"Pack your things and come with me."

Soon after, Horikita Manabu led Kamio Tatsuya to a very large gym in Keyakizaka Shopping Center.

Then... Horikita used points to rent a private room.

"You probably noticed this sports festival as well. Students' physical data is actually a kind of key intelligence, so gyms also provide this kind of private space."

Horikita Manabu explained to Kamio Tatsuya as they walked.

Then, he took a set of training clothes from the closet in the room and handed them to Tatsuya Kamio.

"Since you came all this way to find me, it means you probably didn't just want to practice casually."

Looking at the training clothes in the other person's hand, Tatsuya Kamio nodded and took them.

After changing into his training clothes, Horikita Manabu stretched his body a little.

"Let me test your quality first."

Hey, President, you're practically smirking. What grudge do you hold against me?

"please!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Horikita Manabu threw a punch at Kamio Tatsuya's shoulder.

so slow……

Kamio Tatsuya instinctively bent down and dodged to the side, and then he saw Horikita Manabu's malicious smile.

Next, Horikita Manabu's other hand reached out to grab Kamio Tatsuya.

This is much faster than before.

However, Tatsuya Kamio's speed has already reached the theoretical limit for humans in this world.

So it was relatively easy for them to dodge it.

As Horikita watched Tatsuya Kamio's movements, the smile on his lips grew wider and wider.

"interesting."

Horikita's speed also increased, so fast that Kamio Tatsuya almost couldn't keep up. After more than a dozen moves, Kamio Tatsuya finally became more and more embarrassed.

It felt like, even though I was faster than my opponent, their relentless attacks left me feeling powerless and helpless.

Horikita Manabu could always predict his next move.

Although he tried to fight back, Horikita Manabu easily dodged each time.

Instead, he ended up making himself look rather pathetic.

No, system, is this value fake?

Is this the limit of human speed?

Shame!

"I'm going to get serious now."

Horikita's reminder infuriated Kamio Tatsuya. Good grief, so you were just messing with me.

A surge of anger rose from within Tatsuya Kamio's stomach.

Faced with Horikita Manabu's next punch, he simply stopped dodging and directly used a strategy of exchanging injury for injury to strike back at Horikita Manabu.

However, Horikita Manabu anticipated his plan. Not only did Horikita Manabu clearly dodge his straight punch, but he also landed a punch on Horikita's shoulder.

It didn't hurt much, but it made him lose his balance for a brief moment.

Then, Horikita Manabu raised his right leg and delivered a side kick to Kamio Tatsuya's upper body.

Having just regained his balance, Kamio Tatsuya looked at the leg that was inches away and immediately realized that he couldn't dodge it.

So he simply raised his left arm, clenched his fist, and blocked the blow.

Kamio Tatsuya rolled on the ground to dissipate the force, then quickly created distance, looking warily at Horikita Manabu opposite him.

"That's good. Your abilities have exceeded my expectations."

Although Tatsuya Kamio was quite embarrassed by Manabu Horikita during their sparring session, Horikita was actually quite surprised, and the attack had even given him a fright.

He had given it his all, but he only managed to gain a slight advantage when Tatsuya Kamio got carried away at the end.

If Tatsuya Kamio is determined to hide, there's probably nothing he can do.

This person is a genius!

He was much faster than me; if it weren't for my experience, I probably wouldn't have even run into him today!

With systematic training, surpassing me will be a piece of cake!

Horikita Manabu drew a conclusion about Kamio Tatsuya in his mind.

"It seems you've never been in a fight before, nor have you received any systematic training."

Kamio Tatsuya was speechless. Wasn't that obvious? As a model citizen, who would fight all the time?

"But you have excellent physical abilities, not only in terms of your movements but also in your reaction speed. Many times, you made a dodge move just as I started to attack."

That is!
