I'm in a real religion, why are all the people who confess to me girls?

If we tell Amane that Horikita has signed her up for all the events, will Amane throw a tantrum and refuse to participate?

Hirata hesitated for a moment but decided not to tell Amane the cruel truth, letting Amane be happy for a couple of days before telling her about it.

Just after Hirata had finished dividing the students into groups, a school announcement suddenly came over the loudspeaker.

"Given that some students have reported issues with the competition format during the Sports Festival, each class will send one male and one female student representative to Room 204 on the second floor of the Student Union building at 2 PM this afternoon to attend a meeting..."

Has something changed again?

Horikita felt a bit of a headache. What she was most afraid of was what kind of tricks the student council would come up with next. Class B was already the smallest class, and with their average physical fitness at a disadvantage, they were already struggling to participate in competitions. If the competition format changed, such as adding individual events, Class B's current number of people simply couldn't spare any more people. The end result would be that some of the physically fit students would have to participate in various competitions one after another.

This will continuously reduce their physical strength, and it will be difficult for them to maintain stable performance. Not everyone is a monster like Amane or Koenji.

"Hopefully it won't be a huge change."

Hirata sighed, clearly aware of Class B's biggest problem: a shortage of students.

The disadvantage in numbers meant that Class B often had to rely on the most talented and capable individuals to work even harder, which eventually led to more people becoming unwilling to contribute.

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Horikita and Hirata arrived at the student council meeting room as representatives of Class 1-B.

Horikita, who had assumed the meeting would be attended by the designated 24 people, was taken aback by the spectacular sight inside when he opened the door.

Whether it was Class A, Class C, or Class D, there were teams of no fewer than three people. Some familiar faces also appeared in the teams of upperclassmen. In Hirata's memory, many of them were members of the student council.

Because of the large number of participants, a face-to-face meeting was not held this time, and the group sitting on the stage was led by student union officers.

Sitting in the audience were student representatives from all classes from the third grade to the first grade.

"Tianyin actually came too. I thought she would go back to sleep..."

Looking at the serious-looking Amane sitting on the stage, Horikita couldn't help but smile.

"Although Tianyin is usually a bit lazy, she takes formal occasions very seriously."

No sooner had Hirata finished speaking than Amane let out a huge yawn in front of everyone.

At this moment, Horikita Manabu was sitting in the very center of the stage, with distinct factions on the left and right.

On the left is Tachibana Akane, whose resignation has not yet been approved, followed by the sports minister Kiriyama and several other ministers who are third-year students and rarely seen in the student council, following Horikita Manabu.

Everyone stared straight ahead with serious expressions, seemingly intending to compare their formation with Horikita's right flank.

As the vice president and the dominant second-year student, Nan Yunya naturally couldn't possibly be without any background.

To Horikita Manabu's right, first was Vice President Nagumo Masaru, followed by Sakayanagi Arisu, who already held the position of Secretary, Disciplinary Committee Chairman Miyako Amane, and several other Nagumo faction members who were considered quite outstanding in their second year and were brought out to fill the seats.

It can be said that those sitting on the stage represent the most complete group of department members and the most impressive lineup ever seen in the history of the student union.

"Thank you all for attending this meeting. I am Horikita Manabu, the student council president. Today, I would like to convey the following message: Some people feel that individual competitive events, which still involve multiple participants, cannot showcase individual abilities and thus contradict the school's principle of valuing strength above all else..."

Hearing this, Tianyin couldn't help but purse her lips. Who's making such a fuss? If they want to show their skills, can't they do it elsewhere? Why do they have to make suggestions to the student council? Is this person crazy?

Just as Tianyin was about to continue listening attentively, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Nan Yunya's smug smile.

Could it be... that this idiot is Nan Yunya?

"After discussion and deliberation, the student council unanimously decided to add a separate individual competitive event called 'One-on-One Battle'."

Chapter 392: Big Prize, Flexible Shifts

He fought alone.

After this somewhat dated term appeared, even Tianyin was stunned.

So much so that she couldn't help but take out her phone to check the current year. That's right, it's modern time. How did Horikita Manabu manage to make her mistakenly believe that she had traveled back to the chaotic era of Azuchi and Momoyama with just one word?

The people below the stage looked around, their eyes revealing a strong desire to talk, which Tianyin could understand.

Because she also wanted to complain about which genius came up with this name.

"Fujiwara-san, is there anything you want to say?"

As if he had anticipated that someone would raise a question, Horikita Manabu immediately called out Fujiwara-senpai's name the moment she raised her hand.

"May I ask which 'genius' came up with the name of this competition?"

As soon as Fujiwara asked the question, laughter immediately followed.

On stage, Amane clenched her little hands excitedly, saying, "I said it! I said it!!!" As expected of Fujiwara-senpai, she could say such blunt things so openly.

Amane tilted her head, intending to see what Horikita Manabu's expression was, but instead saw Nagumo with a dark face, as if Fujiwara-senpai owed him hundreds of thousands of yen. Could it be that Nagumo came up with the name of this rather old-fashioned competition?

Horikita glanced at Nagumo, coughed twice to remind her to be mindful of her manners, and then looked at Fujiwara-senpai.

"Regarding who made the suggestion, the student council cannot disclose that information. I will now announce the details and rules for the temporary addition of the individual competitive event, 'One-on-One Duel.' I hope everyone will carefully memorize these and then relay them to every classmate upon returning home."

After Horikita finished speaking, he whispered something in Tachibana Akane's ear. Akane nodded, then turned on the projector and projected all the rules related to the One-Man Showdown onto the blackboard at the back of the conference room.

For a moment, all that could be heard was the sound of people taking out their phones to take pictures.

Only the old god Tianyin casually rested his chin on his hand as he read the rules of the One-Man Showdown.

The specific rules for the additional individual competition event, the One-on-One Duel, are as follows:

1. The One-on-One Tournament requires multiple rounds. To ensure participants have sufficient stamina to complete all events, participants are prohibited from participating in team events. All registered participants can only register for individual events. If a participant is found to have participated in a team event, their results will be invalidated, and they will be disqualified. (Note: The One-on-One Tournament is a special individual competition and does not participate in the Red and White Group points competition.)

2. The "One Against One" competition is divided into two formats: random matches and arena matches. Participants can choose whether or not to "step into the arena" to become the champion.

Randomized competition: Before the competition, each side prepares six competition items. The school makes special nameplates and distributes them to individuals. The participants can use the nameplates to have a "one-on-one duel" with any other participant. The one-on-one duel requires three rounds. The one with the most wins wins. Each participant can specify one item that they are good at, and then select three nameplates and put them in a lottery box. The item for the last round is determined by drawing lots.

notice

All submitted competitions must be physical competitions. Mental competitions are not allowed to be one-on-one. If a mental competition is found to be a mental competition in the future, the nameplate holder will be automatically disqualified from the competition.

Competition Rewards:

In the One-on-One Arena, each victory earns 10 Class Points, while each loss deducts 10 Class Points. The maximum number of Class Points a player can earn in a single match is 30. Each player can participate in a maximum of five random One-on-One Arena matches.

Tournament:

The rules are exactly the same as the random matches. After winning three consecutive random matches, you can choose to "ascend the throne". After becoming the champion, you can get 15 class points for each small match you win. You can get a maximum of 45 class points in a single match. If the champion loses, no points will be deducted. You will only lose the champion status and be directly judged as a loser and disqualified from the competition. At the same time, the number of matches you can participate in increases to ten. Winning three matches in a single match will reward you with 100,000 personal points. Winning three matches in a single match and winning seven consecutive matches will reward you with a spot in the class that can be freely changed to another class without any usage restrictions, and you will also be rewarded with 1 million personal points.

When they saw the reward, everyone's breathing quickened.

Those who had been complaining about the lack of rewards at the sports festival were now speechless, as no reward could compare to the grand prize of the one-man showdown tournament.

What does it mean that students can freely switch between classes?

It's equivalent to getting a direct path to Class A, worth 20 million points! No matter which class gets this spot, it instantly makes someone a student in Class A!

Compared to this reward, the subsequent one million personal points are completely insignificant.

"President Horikita, I have a question I hope the student council can answer for me."

Long Yuan raised his hand.

"Tell me, if it doesn't violate any rules, I can help you answer the questions."

When Horikita saw Ryuen's unfriendly gaze, he knew that this guy was bound to ask some difficult questions.

"If our class gets this spot for arbitrarily switching classes, then who has the right to use this spot?"

A shot that hits the bullseye!

At this moment, the somewhat agitated crowd quieted down and stared intently at Horikita Manabu. The reward was so exciting that everyone had forgotten that the spot was for the class, not an individual. So who had the right to use this spot?

"The class that receives the spot can decide how to use it."

"But wouldn't that be very unfair to the contestants?"

Fujiwara interrupted Horikita Manabu with dissatisfaction.

"If a participant feels that the award is unfair, they can choose to forgo it."

Nangumo Masayuki then answered Fujiwara's question.

"Give up this reward? No one could possibly bring themselves to give up such a coveted opportunity."

"Then we can only accept the possible injustice. Don't you understand such a simple truth, Fujiwara-senpai?"

Nan Yunya had long harbored some dislike for this club president who usually disregarded him, and now that he finally had a chance, he naturally wanted to find a way to annoy Fujiwara.

Fujiwara-senpai narrowed her eyes.

"In previous years, student council members participated in the sports festival. Is it the same this year?"

Fujiwara ignored Nagumo and turned to Horikita for guidance.

"Of course, our student council will also participate in the sports festival as part of our class, just like always."

Horikita seemed to realize the meaning behind Fujiwara's words, and a subtle smile appeared on his lips.

Seeing Horikita's expression, Fujiwara-senpai, who was sitting not far from Horikita, immediately knew that Horikita had noticed what she was trying to do.

But Horikita Manabu did not expose the matter.

"That would be perfect! To shine at the Sports Festival, participating in the One-Man Showdown is the best choice. If the future student council president can demonstrate strong abilities in the One-Man Showdown, I believe he will gain even more supporters... Vice President Nagumo, see you in the One-Man Showdown~"

Chapter 393: Sakayanagi's Little Thoughts

Nan Yunya's face showed a disgusted expression, as if she had eaten a fly.

Fujiwara's provocation seemed childish to him; anyone else would have dismissed it with disdain.

Unfortunately, Fujiwara's words hit the nail on the head, even though Nagumo had some commendable achievements in organizing the special exams for those with special privileges on the deserted island.

However, dissenting voices still exist.

According to the original plan, Horikita Manabu was to announce his resignation as student council president on September 1st, the day after the start of the school year. However, the third-year students argued that with the sports festival approaching, Nagumo had no experience in organizing large-scale school events, and if Horikita Manabu rashly resigned, the sports festival would probably be in chaos.

After consulting with various parties, the school decided to have Horikita Manabu host the sports festival, while Nagumo Masayuki would learn and gain relevant experience on the sidelines.

Horikita Gaku was naturally adept at arranging the sports festival, and Nangumo Masaru was already very familiar with the whole process, but he was very unhappy that the school and the third-year students did not believe him.

It was precisely to highlight his abilities that the plan of a one-man showdown was proposed.

The goal is to win over the first and second year students who will be the main force of future higher education. The class points of the third year are basically fixed, and the focus is mainly on college entrance examinations. In particular, the exams will be biased towards academic ability. With Horikita Manabu's third-year A class far ahead, there is no need to worry about being overtaken. Gradually, the classes behind also lose their competitive mentality and just get by with the idea of ​​graduating steadily or getting into a good university.

Faced with such a group of people, Nagumo's plan was nothing more than gilding the lily, and it would only complicate what was originally a simple sports festival.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Nangumo was determined to ignore their opinions and focus on winning over the first and second graders. The fluctuations in the first and second graders' classes were still quite significant, especially in the first grade, where the competition had almost reached a fever pitch.

With just a gentle push, the entire first grade would erupt into a frenzy of competition for class points or individual points.

This means that anyone who wants to be promoted to Class A must obediently listen to him; otherwise, once he becomes the student council president, he'll have many ways to control the points of a particular class...

But that's all in the future.

Fujiwara had already shown him hostility, but he had no way to retaliate. Although he was absolutely superior to Fujiwara in terms of overall physical fitness, Fujiwara's specialty was archery, a highly competitive sport with a very high learning curve. Even if Nagumo started practicing archery now, it would be too late. If he were to run into Fujiwara in a duel, he would probably really taste the bitterness of humiliation.

Just as Nagumo was wondering how to respond.

A loud bang drew everyone's attention to the source of the sound.

Ryuen raised his fist, glaring angrily at Fujiwara and Nagumo.

"Have you said enough? I was asking President Horikita something. Who gave you permission to interrupt? As seniors, don't you even know this most basic etiquette? How can you set an example for your juniors if all upperclassmen act like this?"

Fujiwara was furious after being bombarded with questions and reprimands by Ryuen, but she knew that Ryuen was right. It was entirely her fault for interrupting first, and as a third-year senior, she would be ridiculed if she refused to admit it when corrected by a junior. However, this boy was really too rude...

"I'm very sorry, I spoke out of turn. Please continue to ask President Horikita for advice."

Seeing Fujiwara bow his head slightly in apology, Ryuen finally calmed down and sat back down.

"That's more like how a senior should act."

His arrogant attitude made most people frown.

Even if Fujiwara did something wrong, she was still a third-year student and a senior to Ryuen. To treat a senior with such an excessive tone and attitude was simply unforgivable.

Several third-year students began to communicate with each other through eye contact, trying to get someone to stand up and uphold their dignity as seniors.

However, observant people have noticed that neither Fujiwara nor Nagumo blamed Ryuen.

Fujiwara was somewhat dissatisfied, but she couldn't bring herself to criticize Ryuen's attitude, because she herself was the one at fault.

Since Nagumo escaped the awkward situation of a direct confrontation with Fujiwara thanks to Ryuen's intervention, he naturally wouldn't blame Ryuen for his rudeness.

So... was Ryuen genuinely dissatisfied, or was he deliberately trying to help Nagumo Masa out of a predicament?

For a moment, no one dared to act opposite Long Yuan, and everyone was unsure whether Long Yuan had already chosen sides.

"Do you have any other questions for Longyuan?"

Once Horikita Manabu saw that things had calmed down, he continued his conversation with Ryuen as if the confrontation had never happened.

"Since the ownership of the slots for changing classes belongs to the class, is it permissible to trade these slots?"
