After that, Sudo also came over with Ike and Yamauchi. As for Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, he was originally sitting next to Horikita.
"What do you think?"
As soon as Kanda Hideichi turned around, Horikita asked him his question.
"No opinion, I'm not interested in sports, and I've already booked the last place in all the events."
Horikita's breath was caught in his throat by Kanda Shuichi's perfunctory words.
Then she suddenly realized that she seemed to have become accustomed to relying on Kanda Shuichi. When did this start?
"It's okay. I will get first place in all the required events, and I will participate in all the recommended events. I will definitely win this way, right?"
Kanda Hideichi's retreat did not discourage Sudo. Instead, it seemed to activate his fighting spirit, and he spoke with full confidence.
In fact, Kanda Shuichi has always performed so well that he was a little worried that Horikita would develop a liking for him. Now there is finally a project that he is good at, and it is also something that Kanda Shuichi is not good at.
If the timing wasn't wrong, he would have wanted to jump up and celebrate.
However, will things really be as easy as Sudo said?
As expected, upon hearing Sudou's words, Horikita immediately sighed.
"Alas, I was foolish enough to have expectations of you."
……
"It's okay to have expectations of me occasionally. Although I'm not good at studying, my athletic ability is definitely no problem. It's okay to trust me once in a while, right?"
Sudo scratched his head helplessly.
"I think what Sudo said is right. People with ability should try to get as many points as possible, and people with poor physical strength should try not to get last place." Kanda Hideichi spread his hands.
At this point, Kanda Shuichi smiled and said, "Anyway, I won't be of any use in this exam, so just do your best."
"You just said that people with poor physical strength should avoid taking the last place, right?"
Hearing Kanda Shuichi's bad words, Horikita immediately frowned.
"Haha, let me put it this way. Expecting me to get good grades in this sports festival is as difficult as expecting Sudo to get into the top ten in the written test."
"Sudo, maybe if I try hard I can get into the top ten in the written test, but it's a pipe dream to expect me to get a good grade. This is not something that can be achieved by hard work."
"I have nothing but self-knowledge."
Kanda Shuichi had already said this, so Horikita had no choice but to nod. Instead of forcing Kanda Shuichi, who was in poor health, to get good grades, it would be better to expect other students to work harder.
However, Kanda Hideichi is actually not as bad as he says. According to his own judgment, his physical fitness has basically recovered to the level of ordinary people.
Probably, about the same level as middle-aged people in their thirties or forties who don’t do much exercise?
"I think what Shuichi said is right. As long as everyone plays to their best, that's all that's fine, right? If we still can't win, it means that our overall strength is not as good as the opponent's."
Miyake, who had been listening, expressed his support for Kanda Hideichi's idea.
"But besides that, it is also very important to protect the entry form. And there is no doubt that the other classes will also protect the entry form and will never leak it out."
That’s right, this exam is more of a competition of strength and intelligence than a competition of pure strength.
"But if the entry forms for the four classes are kept secret, doesn't that mean we have to rely on luck?"
Hideichi Kanda looked at Miyake speechlessly.
"Uh, did I say something wrong?"
"That's not wrong, but this situation won't happen." Kanda Shuichi shook his head. "Because there is too much uncertainty, someone will definitely spread false information to confuse other classes."
After hearing what Kanda Shuichi said, Horikita Suzune also nodded.
When the difference in hard power between classes is not big, it becomes crucial to arrange the order in which each person appears.
For example, if Sudo, who is absolutely sure to get first place, were to meet the seeded players from other classes, it would not only undermine their morale, but would also directly cause the opponent to lose a lot of points.
However, although this is the ideal situation, it is a bit too taken for granted and is simply impossible to achieve.
Unless Class D obtains the order of appearance of Ryuen's class.
No, even if they obtained the appearance order of Longyuan's class, they would not dare to really believe that it was the true appearance order of their class.
What if this guy has a hidden weapon in his crotch and gave a false order of appearance?
So this exam is still a Mission Impossible game?
Uh, I think Mission Impossible said this somewhere...
Chapter 166 Compromise
Obviously, twenty minutes is not enough for Class D to achieve any interim results.
After class, the students all headed towards the First Gymnasium. According to the teachers, students and teachers would meet here for this class.
Naturally, Kanda Shuichi followed Class D to the First Gymnasium.
The size of this place is about the same as the school auditorium. Even though it accommodates three grades with a total of more than 400 students and teachers, it does not seem crowded.
As soon as the assembled students sat down on the ground as instructed by the teachers, several students walked forward. This was very conspicuous among all the students, so almost all the students focused their attention on them.
"I'm Fujimaki from Class 3A, and I'm the commander-in-chief of the Red Team this time."
One of the third-year students who walked to the front said so.
Horikita, who was sitting not far from Kanda Shuichi, frowned. It seemed that she was a little dissatisfied because it was not her brother who spoke up.
Hey, girl, if you let your brother do everything, aren't you afraid of exhausting him to death? Even the donkeys in the production team don't dare to be so fierce!
Just as Kanda Shuichi was silently complaining about Horikita in his heart, Fujimaki on the stage continued, "Before the sports festival begins, I want to give the first-year students a suggestion. Some people may think that I am meddling in other people's business. However, there are only three sports festivals in high school. This is a very important event for us. Please keep this in mind, and the experience gained from the sports festival will definitely be applied to other opportunities."
"Also, there will be many exams in the future that may seem like games at first glance, but no matter which one, it will be an important battle that will determine your survival in school. You may not feel the reality yet, and you don't have the motivation, but since you have to compete, then aim to win. You must remember this passion."
I thought he would say something inspiring, but this is all? What kind of chicken soup is this? It's not tasty at all!
It's so unclear, third grade is really amazing!
"The only competition involving all grades is the final 1,200-meter relay race. All other events are internal competitions for the grade. If you feel it is necessary, you can discuss the countermeasures now."
After Fujimaki finished speaking, Ichinose from Class A led the team to Class D, and their destination happened to be where Kanda Hideichi was.
Faced with the powerful aura of Ichinose, the students of Class D subconsciously made way for her.
And just as Kanda Shuichi had guessed, Ichinose stopped less than a meter in front of Kanda Shuichi.
But don’t you think it’s too close?
I can smell your fragrance.
And I was sitting on the ground. Aren’t you afraid that you’d be exposed and I’d see something I shouldn’t?
"Kanda-san, I didn't expect that we would be working together again this time. From now on, I hope everyone in Class D will take care of me."
After hearing what Ichinose said, Kanda Shuichi put his hand on Miyake's shoulder, then used his feet as support to stand up.
"You found the wrong person this time. I don't have much experience in sports." Then he looked at a figure in the crowd, "Hirata, I'm looking for you."
"Eh?"
Ichinose Honami was somewhat surprised that Kanda Shuichi decided to give up the task so decisively.
"If you think Hirata isn't enough, there's Horikita."
As he spoke, Kanda Shuichi pointed at Horikita Suzune who was standing nearby.
Kanda Hideichi's words made the atmosphere at the scene awkward for a moment.
"No, sorry, it was my mistake." Ichinose apologized to Horikita and Hirata repeatedly.
"You don't have to apologize. Judging from Class D's past performance, there's nothing wrong with considering Kanda as the class leader." Horikita took a step forward. "It's just that this project might be a stretch for him."
Ah, yes, yes, you are right.
"No, I don't think so. Although Kanda-san's motor skills may be a little weak, it doesn't mean that Kanda-san can't help us. Didn't we prove this when we were on the uninhabited island?"
Ichinose’s words surprised Kanda Shuichi. I have already given in, so why are you bringing me up again?
"But this time it's completely different from the uninhabited island, right? The rules this time are very complete, there are absolutely no loopholes to exploit."
"Horikita is right. I'll just be a bystander this time. By the way, do you plan to cooperate with Ichinose?"
Seeing that the two were about to go on and on, Kanda Hideichi quickly interrupted them and brought the topic back to the beginning.
"Yes, I think so. After all, we are all members of the Red Team. So, if possible, it would be great if partners can cooperate with each other without any disputes."
"What do you think?"
Kanda Hideichi looked at Hirata and Horikita.
"That's fine with me."
"I agree."
Horikita and Hirata readily agreed to Ichinose's proposal because the rewards for this exam were very disappointing.
If the big group loses, one hundred class points will be directly deducted. And if the class score is the lowest among the four classes, one hundred class points will be deducted. For the current Class D, the first thing to ensure is to contribute to the big group, at least to ensure the victory of the big group.
Moreover, Horikita Manabu's class in Class 3-A also belongs to the Red Group, and Horikita Suzune definitely does not want to hold her brother back at this time.
So, after Ichinose made the proposal, she immediately took the opportunity to reach a cooperation with him.
Hey, you idiot, if I don’t say anything, you guys won’t know how to play.
"I see. Then how do you want to cooperate with Ichinose?" Kanda Hideichi looked at Ichinose. "Do you want to just maintain basic cooperation, or do you want to go deeper into cooperation?"
“Basic cooperation and in-depth cooperation?”
Ichinose tilted his head, his expression becoming confused.
"Well, let me introduce it. Basically, cooperation is..."
When Hideichi Kanda was about to express his opinion, there was a sudden commotion not far away, which made him look over there.
"Ryuen, are you serious about not planning to cooperate?" Katsuragi looked at Ryuen and said in a deep voice.
"Am I serious? You are asking even though you already know the answer." Long Yuan looked nonchalant. "Besides, even if we cooperate, you guys don't trust me, right? In that case, why bother? Instead of cooperating dishonestly, why don't we just play by ourselves? Anyway, as long as we can achieve impressive results, isn't that enough?"
Even though Long Yuan's words were not pleasant to hear, they were indeed true. As long as they were in the same group and achieved good results, then everything would be fine.
However, this may lead to a problem, that is, the two classes in the white group may encounter a situation of ace clash.
Once this happens, you will lose several dozen points at a time. If this happens several times, the score gap will be greatly widened.
After saying this, Ryuuen left the First Gymnasium, while Katsuragi returned to the class base. Although Sakayanagi couldn't take part in the exam, she seemed to have chosen to make suggestions for the class.
Kanda Shuichi retracted his gaze and focused his attention on Ichinose, and returned to the previous topic.
"Then let's talk about the basic cooperation plan first. The basic cooperation means that we will cooperate with each other in team competitions, and we will play our own games in individual competitions."
In this sports festival, when it comes to team competitions, there are actually only the required events of tug-of-war and horseback fighting, and most of the competitions are individual.
However, winning the team competition can add a large number of points to the large group, that is, the white group or the red group, so the outcome of the team competition still has a great impact on the balance of victory for the large group.
“What about deep collaboration?”
Ichinose was not in a hurry to agree to the basic cooperation, but was ready to listen to another cooperation plan. After all, it is not a bad idea to compare prices from three companies, listen to another plan and then choose a more suitable one.
Hideichi Kanda smiled and then talked about the plan which he classified as deep cooperation.
"Deep cooperation means that all members of our two classes will be gathered together to determine the order of appearance. In this way, theoretically, we will be able to obtain the maximum score."
“I don’t agree with deep cooperation.”
As soon as Kanda Shuichi finished speaking and before Ichinose opened his mouth, Horikita directly rejected the proposal.
"If we choose deep cooperation, if the Red Team wins, who will take first place in the first grade?"
"I also think it's not appropriate. It's already difficult to coordinate one class. If the students of two classes are combined, it might be even more difficult to control. In that case, the gain will outweigh the loss."
Horikita looked at the problem from the perspective of winning or losing, while Hirata looked at the problem from the perspective of efficiency. However, although the two looked at the problem from different perspectives, their conclusions were the same, that is, they did not approve of deep cooperation.
Not only that, apart from the two of them, even Ichinose nodded, obviously not optimistic about the in-depth cooperation.
This is normal. The nature of this school makes it difficult to build a true trust relationship between classes, even for the Ichinose class that has worked together before.
When Hideichi Kanda said this, he didn't expect anyone to agree. He was just saying it casually. His real thoughts are below.
"Then let's come up with a compromise plan to avoid the embarrassing situation where the seeded players from our two classes meet each other.
