Real teaching, hypocritical gray life

"Really? That's a pity. I personally think that friendly exchanges between classes are necessary."

Although he said this, there was no regret on his face. He just looked around the equipment around the camp with boredom, and only finally set his sights on us.

"What you mean by 'friendly exchanges between classes', Ryuen-san, is that you deliberately set us up against Class D on the [Entry Form]? If that's the case, your behavior is not allowed."

"Haha. If I think there's no basis for this, then don't say it."

"So far, do you have anything to refute? You learned about our [competition list] and the D class's, and also learned about the specific physical abilities of our two classes' students. The fact that you took advantage of the C class students can be easily seen from their arrangement. Ryuuen-kun is really not trying to hide it."

"Anyone can use the bluffing trick. But I'm really lucky in terms of arrangements in all aspects."

The sarcasm is obvious, but it doesn't matter to us.

"Is it really just luck? Ryuen-san has won first place in all the competitions he has participated in so far."

"That's why I say I'm lucky... Really, whether it's you guys or those idiots in Class D, the way you phrase things is unexpectedly boring. It's so disappointing that no one is lip syncing with me."

"I'm so sorry that I couldn't meet your expectations."

"Don't be embarrassed. After all, I don't expect to find pleasure in you. In fact, you are not qualified to do so."

"Since my abilities are so inadequate, why did Ryuuen-kun come to interrupt the conversation between our classes?"

"Ah, because there are some things I want to ask you, for example - now the competitive points between the classes seem to be almost the same, how do you think you can achieve overtaking?"

This is the fact, Ryuen couldn't be unaware of the injuries hidden among the students in our class. Although it can't be said that all of them, but most of the injuries were caused under his instructions.

"You are kidding me, our competitive points are higher than yours."

Ryuen didn't take Ichinose's joke seriously.

“That’s why I said you’re not qualified to have such a vision. Just wait and see, we’ll soon trample on your heads. But the victory in the sports festival doesn’t seem to have much of an impact, so—”

Before he could finish his words, Yamada, the black mixed-race student with a particularly sturdy physique from Ryuen's class, came to his side and handed his phone to Ryuen. The information on it seemed particularly interesting, and Ryuen showed an expectant expression.

"So you guys just wait. I'll deal with Horikita first, and then I'll really trample you under my feet. Just wait and see."

After he finished speaking, Ryuen grabbed his phone without waiting for our response and turned around to leave just like he came. However, before he could take a few steps, he suddenly turned his head towards us.

"Ah, as compensation for making you wait, why don't I tell you something interesting."

"......Interesting thing. We know your thoughts and plans very well."

"Really? Then do you know that the rat in your class won't help you this time, Ichinose?"

"........."

Ichinose, who was originally still angry, suddenly became a little embarrassed after hearing Ryuuen's words. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything, and his eyes became vague.

Because Ichinose was very easy to understand, Ryuen could see that Ichinose was shaken by this statement, so he sneered at her.

Ichinose also quickly came to his senses at this moment.

"Even if there is what you call a rat in our class, he will only stand on our side."

"I see. Then I'll wait and see if he can help you guys turn the tables."

After Long Yuan left, I noticed a hidden gaze beside me, but I didn't turn around to meet her. Instead, I just silently glanced at the [Entry Form] placed on the wooden table.

We don't have any plans for the future, this is the fact that I know of.

Ahhh, it happened. The expected thing happened as it should.

The 50-minute lunch break passed quickly, and the bell rang, signaling the start of the second half of the sports festival. The competition for the recommended athletic events was about to begin.

Excluding the first event, the remaining three recommended contestants should be the elites of each class. The following sports festival is not only a physical competition among students, but also a true showdown between classes of different grades.

Although our class A and class D have arranged the order of appearance for all individual competitors in the sports festival [entry list], we have not communicated with each other about the candidates to recommend for the competition.

If the tactics used in the individual competition previously worked, then the result would correspond to the victory of our two classes. In other words, if we want to widen the gap with the opponent, we must work hard on the recommended competition.

Although things did not develop as we expected, this is also an opportunity.

[Borrowed Object Race] In the competitive event, each class will send 6 people to participate in the borrowed object competition, divided into six groups, each class will send one person to participate in the competition. This is a competition between a small number of people.

The rules are not complicated. Before the race starts, the contestants from each class start running from one side of the track, and then rush to the box on the other side that contains sticky notes. After drawing a sticky note, the contestant finds the object (or person) written on the note in the fastest time possible, and brings it back to the box side for review by the referee.

It is also worth noting that after getting the sticky note, you need to hand it over to the referee. This is to avoid the possibility of someone changing the sticky note without authorization during the game.

The scores in the borrowing competition are much higher than those in the individual competition.

"But even so, I don't want to participate......"

I sighed helplessly at the first group of competitions that were about to begin. Although I was not a contestant in the first group of my class, there was not much time left before the second group of competitions where I was.

"........ Earlier, Ryuen mentioned that our class's competitive points were almost the same as Class C's. Is this true?"

I asked Kanzaki who was standing next to me.

This time, two students from our class participated in all the sports festival events. One is Shibata, and the other is Kanzaki. That's why he is standing next to me right now.

"Right now our class is still in the leading position in terms of competitive points, but the situation is not optimistic."

In response, Kanzaki replied with a serious tone.

“…Why do you say that?”

"Many students in the class were injured because of Ryuen. For example, Wakayama-san is no longer able to participate in the next recommended competition, and Yamazo is also... Didn't you notice that Hosokawa was participating in the first group of the [Borrowed Object Race] as Yamazo's substitute?"

"I noticed this, but I didn't expect the situation in the class to be so serious."

"So have you come up with any solution?"

"The situation has developed to this point, so the only thing left is to try to save the situation. After all, we have already lost to Class C before the sports festival even started. Instead of asking me, shouldn't you think of a countermeasure?"

"I just think it's a little strange that Ichinose cares about you."

"........What is that? Am I being targeted?"

Kanzaki did not give me a clear response to my question, and I knew better than to pursue the matter in this direction.

In the recommended competition, it costs 10 to replace a substitute once, which is fully borne by Ichinose. Except for Ichinose, none of us can afford it.

The sports festival doesn't punish us by reducing our test scores, so we are now fully committed to increasing our class's competitive points.

"In addition, this time, the [Borrowing Objects Competition] has a high-difficulty object. Considering that students may not be able to obtain it, redrawing is allowed. However, the redrawing process must wait for 30 seconds. If anyone wants to redraw, then tell the referee standing at the draw location. If three students reach the finish line, the competition is over. This means it ends here."

After hearing this additional explanation, the contestants from each class got into the game. We each stood in the order of A, D, B, and C according to our group rankings.

So Ayanokouji, who was also the second in the group, stood next to me.

“…I feel like something bad is going to happen to me.”

"Feel the same."

Even though half a year has passed, the bad fate between Ayanokouji and I still exists. I have a certain understanding of his existence, and it is precisely because of this that I don't know why he came to this school.

"You were the one who leaked the A-class [entry form], right?"

The first group's [Borrowed Objects Race] sounded the starting signal, and everyone's exclamations rang out at this time.

Ayanokouji's voice suddenly reached my ears, and after lowering its voice, this communication belonged only to the two of us.

"Why do you say that."

"Because it's hard to imagine a traitor in a class as united as Class A."

Statements without any evidence, in other words, are just tests.

“Even in ordinary classes there are students who don’t fit in. After all, not all people are the same.”

"But there's no motive either. If you say it's because it's unbearable, that's a bit too bad."

"I'm sorry, but even if you think so, I haven't done anything to betray my class."

"............Is that so? Then what you did is really bad."

"I am of course aware that not taking any countermeasures is a very negative approach, and I don't need you to point that out."

Our conversation was then interrupted by a strange monkey cry.

“Uooooooh ...

"Ayanokouji! Lend me your left foot! Your left foot!"

"Left foot?"

"Shoes! I need to borrow some shoes!"

After that, Ayanokouji and I no longer had any communication.

The pool of contestants from Class D seemed to have gotten a pretty good note, and I turned back to look for Shan San from Ichigo's class. He was borrowing sports jackets from students from our class camp, but few people took them out of the locker room, so the students stepped up to help.

Finally, in the first group [Borrowed Objects Race] competition, we got third place with a speed slightly slower than Class B, and Class C was last.

Although it was third place, it was at least ahead of Class C. So it seemed that the situation was developing in a positive direction.

As soon as the first group of players left the field after the first round of competition, the signal for the start of the competition sounded. Ayanokouji and I arrived at the draw site at the same speed.

"So, what exactly was written........."

This is my first time participating in this kind of competition, so I can’t help but look forward to what I’ll draw.

I reached into the box. There were quite a few sticky notes inside, any of which could arouse my desire to take action, but I couldn't hesitate after all, this competition also emphasized the requirement of time.

With excitement in my heart, I took out one of the folded papers while avoiding pulling out a large number of them. Then I unfolded the paper folded into four.

[Please bring a sports jacket from a friend of the opposite sex]

I see, so a cotton jacket is all that's needed, the difficulty lies in finding friends of the opposite sex. But Ichinose should be willing to help with this matter.

Fortunately, Shan San borrowed the same thing as me, so the sports jacket should still be in the class camp. I hope that the sports jacket belongs to the girl in the class..........

and many more.

“…Are you kidding me?”

Just as I was about to run, I suddenly realized that the note did not say "sports coat" at all, but "quilted jacket". Because of the previous development and the similarity of the types, I made a mistake in identification.

[Please bring a cotton-padded jacket from a friend of the opposite sex]

The difficulty is already very high just for the opposite sex. Who would bring a cotton jacket to the playground in the summer? The difficulty index is too high.

Since the content is a cotton-padded jacket for the opposite sex, it means that a girl familiar with the class needs to go to his dormitory to get a cotton-padded jacket. Not to mention the long distance, whether Ichinose has prepared winter clothes is also a question. If you execute it at the highest difficulty, you may have to go to the Keyaki Shopping Center to buy one. By that time, the others will definitely have finished the game.

“It’s totally impossible to implement…”

"Hey Luo, what are you daydreaming about? Why don't you start taking action?"

Okabe called out to me from within the class camp, and at the same time waved his hand to invite me over to discuss things.

But even if you say so, it is impossible to do so. I really can't think of any opposite sex in the class who would bring a cotton jacket. If that were the case, people would label it as strange if I took it out in public.

Class B and Class C set off immediately after receiving their own notes. Another person, Ayanokouji, also stood aside, staring at the note in his hand in a daze.

As expected, things never go smoothly when I'm with Ayanokouji.

"Please let me draw again........."

As soon as the thirty seconds were up, Ayanokouji and I immediately followed the rules and applied to change the borrowed items.

The referee took back our notes immediately and then distributed another one to us. Ayanokouji got it first, followed by me.

Oh no, I’ll be in trouble if I become the last one because of the order.

I immediately opened the note in my hand——

[Please bring back a member of the opposite sex with a strong personality]

What is this? What does a power personality mean? Is this a term used in psychology?

Although I think I have some insights into human nature, those are just my personal feelings and I have not delved into it academically.

What is a powerful personality? Does it mean having great strength?

No, since it's a personality, it should have nothing to do with individual strength... In other words, he is the same type of person as the militant faction, right?

To me, this note translates to women who use violence to solve problems.

"........."

Regardless of whether there are such students in the class, if the opposite sex sees us, our future relationship will definitely not develop in a good direction. In serious cases, the girl's reputation may be ruined by me.

Even if it was just a small fight between friends, it would be found out to be a mistake afterwards. Moreover, the only one in my class who could understand my fight was Ichinose, who was known for her gentleness among the first-year students, so the situation was even more inconsistent.

While I was still feeling disappointed about the new sticky note I had drawn, Class C had already gotten the requested item, a signature pen, and successfully won first place in the second group of the [Borrowed Object Race].
