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

In any case, giving Ayanokouji Hirata as a pawn would undoubtedly increase his strength, as it would make it easier for him to coordinate the overall situation.

Even if Hirata's performance these past few days has been less than satisfactory, if he returns to his previous state, the students in the class will definitely forgive him.

Interesting. Does Ayanokouji think Class D still has a chance?

Two weeks have passed since the start of the second semester, and the sports festival will be in two weeks. Class D has finally completed the entry list for all events.

Looking at the photos Karuizawa sent, Tatsuya Kamio immediately had a plan in mind and understood Class D's intentions.

Judging from Class D's lineup, the opposing team had no intention of competing for first place in the exam, but instead adopted a plan that completely catered to those who were not good at sports.

For example, for students like Sakura Airi who are not good at sports, Wang Meiyu, who is academically excellent but also not good at sports, was placed in their group.

In other words, if something goes wrong, should Wang Meiyu take Sakura's place and become the last-place finisher to bear the penalty for the deduction of her written test score?

That Horikita Suzune...

You've made some progress.

In this exam, Class D will only receive 50 class points if they win against the Red Group and also achieve first place in the first grade.

Under any other circumstances, there will be no loss to Class D.

Instead of fighting for those elusive fifty class points, why not focus on the next exam?

This doesn't seem like an idea that Horikita Suzune would come up with.

Is there a trace of you here?

Ayanokoji...

Just as Tatsuya Kamio was pondering this question, Ryuen arrived at school as usual.

After taking his seat, he took out a stack of papers from his bag and threw them in front of Tatsuya Kamio.

"What's this?" Kamio Tatsuya picked up the paper with a hint of curiosity and looked at it, then his pupils immediately contracted. "This is..."

Tatsuya Kamio quickly scanned the contents of each sheet of paper, then frowned.

The contents on the paper are clearly photocopies of photographs.

The key point is the content inside the photocopy, which is the entry form for Class D, and it's exactly the same as the entry form for Class D sent by Karuizawa.

The only difference is that the two sets of photos were taken from different angles.

In other words, the anonymous person who sent the message to Long Yuan didn't lie to Long Yuan at all; the entry form he provided was genuine!

How is this going?

I remember Ryuen saying that the anonymous person's request was for Ryuen to teach Horikita Suzune a lesson.

Could it be that the anonymous person who provided information to Ryuen is Kushida?

Is this guy crazy?

"What do you think?"

After noticing Tatsuya Kamio's expression, Ryuen asked him directly.

"Which aspect are you referring to? If it's the authenticity of this information..." Tatsuya Kamio raised his hand and waved the stack of documents in his hand, "It's true."

Now it was Long Yuan's turn to laugh, and he laughed very happily.

"Heh, I knew it. With your methods, you couldn't have left Class D so easily. You really did have a spy planted in Class D."

What do you mean by "you know"?

You're making me sound like a bad guy.

You talk as if you know me so well.

Really.

These are all necessary preparations to defeat Class D. What do you know?

"Since the intelligence is true, what do you think that guy in Class D really means?" Ryuen stroked his chin, deep in thought. "Does he really just want me to help him get revenge on Rin?"

This is also something that Tatsuya Kamio couldn't quite understand.

No, if the person who provided the information is Kushida, then it's quite possible that's the case.

But what if the person who provided the information wasn't Kushida...?

That would be interesting.

Even at the cost of betraying their class, they wanted to make Ryuen disgust Horikita.

Moreover, Longyuan may not necessarily act according to the other party's wishes, since this is not even a transaction, but just the other party's wishful thinking.

Even if Ryuen used this information and didn't deal with Horikita, the other side couldn't blame Ryuen.

If that's the case, then what's the purpose?

At this moment, even Tatsuya Kamio couldn't quite figure out the other person's thought process.

"What are you planning to do? Are you going to deal with Horikita?"

Tatsuya Kamio looked at Ryuen.

Now that things have come to this, we definitely have to make use of Class D's competition schedule. It's a fool not to take advantage of a free lunch. Since we can win easily, why make things difficult for ourselves?

Although this information is only the initial version and may be changed later, Kamio Tatsuya can easily obtain the revised version.

So it's okay to trust this information.

However, whether or not to take action against Horikita Suzune is another matter entirely.

There will be proctors around the competition venues for this sports festival, so any unauthorized actions might backfire.

However, Long Yuan is still the nominal leader of this class, so his attitude is also very important.

"Hehe, since the other party has shown sincerity, I will of course respond to this anonymous gentleman's expectations."

He wanted me to target Rinne, right? Perfect, then I'll take advantage of this sports festival to completely crush Rinne.

A smile appeared on Long Yuan's lips, as if he was already rubbing his hands together in anticipation.

You bastard, you knew it was a trap but you still deliberately jumped into it, didn't you?

How can there be such a guy in the world?

No, Longyuan probably wasn't unaware that this was a trap.

This guy did it on purpose.

Is he planning to jump right in and lure out the anonymous person?

Chapter 185 Hirata's Resolve

Although Ryuen intended to agree to the anonymous person's request to deal with Horikita, he hadn't come up with a solution yet, so he put the matter aside for the time being.

After school, on his way to the student council, Kamio Tatsuya ran into Ichinose from Class 1-B, who was also a member of the student council.

However, since he hadn't seen her for a while, Tatsuya Kamio had almost forgotten about it.

"Good afternoon, Ichinose."

"Good afternoon, Kamio." Ichinose greeted him with a smile. "By the way, I have something I'd like to discuss with you about the sports festival."

"Um...didn't we say we wouldn't cooperate?"

"I mean team projects, like tug-of-war and horseback riding battles."

Ichinose quickly explained.

Tug-of-war, horseback riding battles, and the men's pole-falling competition are all events that require the participation of all students from both classes at the same time.

It's like a tug-of-war, where students from Class D compete against students from Classes B and C, with boys and girls separated.

"These."

Tatsuya Kamio nodded.

"Although I would like to go directly to Longyuan to discuss these matters, I feel that Longyuan probably won't communicate with me about this."

Well, actually, Ichinose, that guy Ryuen isn't some kind of demon.

After spending these days together, Tatsuya Kamio felt that Ryuen's emotions were quite stable, unlike what he had previously thought, who would resort to violence to solve problems at the drop of a hat.

"You think we should secure the victory for the White Team before competing for the grade rankings, right?"

Kamio Tatsuya wasn't unaware of Ichinose's thoughts.

Ichinose smiled and said, "Because if the White Team fails, even if we get first place in the grade, it's the same as losing 50 class points."

Speaking of this, Kamio Tatsuya felt that the school's reward this time was really stingy.

The top student in the grade was only awarded fifty class points, while the second-place student received no points at all.

If a large group fails, each of the failing classes will have 100 class points deducted from its score.

Could it be that the school is facing a financial shortage because the exams on the ship cost 8000 million?

Probably not.

These points are just a bunch of data for the school.

Unless the students convert these items into cash, they are just a pile of electronic waste. Besides, Tatsuya Kamio immediately helped consume 2000 million yen.

"I understand. I will try my best to persuade Ryuen. Don't worry about that. Indeed, for Class C, winning against the White Team is a higher priority."

In fact, judging from the practice these past few days, Ryuen's attitude has been very serious, and it seems that he has taken Kamio Tatsuya's previous suggestion to heart.

Since we are stronger than our opponent, why bother with any tricks and schemes? We should just crush them.

"Oh dear, we can't pretend we didn't hear that, can we, President?"

Just as Tatsuya Kamio finished discussing things with Ichinose, he saw Nagumo and Manabu Horikita walking over with second-year and third-year students respectively.

"Good afternoon, President, Senior Nagumo."

"good afternoon……"

Kamio Tatsuya and Ichinose greeted each other almost simultaneously.

“It’s good to have fighting spirit.” Horikita Manabu adjusted his glasses. “And Kamio, I hope you treat the sports festival as a celebration to enjoy, not as a special exam.”

Upon hearing Horikita Manabu's words, Kamio Tatsuya immediately began to complain: "Competing in 13 events in one day, what kind of memorial is this?"

The process planning over the past few days has shown us how tight the schedule is, managing to complete thirteen projects in a single day, leaving no time to enjoy the memorial service.

"Hahaha, don't say that, Kamio-kun."

Nagumo immediately laughed at Tatsuya Kamio's sarcastic remark, then walked over and put his arm around Tatsuya Kamio's neck.

"By the way, Horikita-senpai and I will both be participating in the 1200-meter relay race, and we'll both be the last runners. Junior, would you like to join in the fun?"

"Wouldn't it be spectacular to see the three of us student council presidents leaving everyone else in the dust on the track?"

……

I said, Senior Nan Yun, I never knew you had such a chuunibyou side.

"Sure, I'm fine with it. I'm planning to participate in the relay anyway."

Kamio Tatsuya readily agreed with a smile, as it would be a good opportunity to avenge the arrow that Horikita Manabu had used to relentlessly train him these past few days.

Horikita Manabu glanced at Nagumo Masaru, who was arm in arm with Kamio Tatsuya, and a look of pity appeared in his eyes.

Through sparring with Tatsuya Kamio these past few days, Horikita Manabu has keenly discovered that Kamio's speed is extremely fast.

Not only their reaction speed and various dodging techniques, but even their leg strength are terrifying. Even I wouldn't dare say I can definitely beat them.

Moreover, he could see that Tatsuya Kamio initially seemed unaccustomed to the speed his body could unleash, but after these days of training, he had improved a great deal.

If Tatsuya Kamio and Nagumo both receive the baton in the relay race, the result will be very simple—Nagumo will be completely crushed!

Then a group of people arrived at the student union. In recent days, funding applications from various clubs have been submitted one after another.

As the vice president of the student council, Kamio Tatsu also had to review these documents, approve them, and finally hand them over to Kiriyama, the student council's accountant, for accounting.

Furthermore, due to the sports festival, almost all student council members were busy with class matters, so these tasks fell on the shoulders of the three student council presidents.

Why do I have to do all this work? Seriously, the sports festival is just around the corner, and I still have to do all this. It's driving me crazy.

In fact, Nagumo and Horikita had just as much work to do as he did, but they were clearly much more skilled than Kamio Tatsuya, so they were able to handle it more easily.

So Nagumo and Horikita had already finished dealing with their things and left, leaving only Kamio Tatsuya in the office.
