"If I were to make the rules myself, then true supremacy of strength would become possible."
"Really? It seems my decision was right."
Horikita Manabu's gaze passed over the middle row of students and fell on Hashima Hikaru.
"What decision?"
Following the other party's line of sight, Nan Yunya saw the tall figure of the black-haired boy, who was carefully observing the battle situation on the field.
"I have selected a good helper for you. He will be a great help to you."
"helper?"
Nanyun Miyabi suddenly burst into laughter and continued, "Don't hide it from me. I know what President Horikita is thinking. I plan to let Junior Hashima take over my current position, provided he can really do it."
"Is it?"
"Yes, but such important cadre appointments and dismissals cannot be decided directly by me. We should all vote together to decide."
Nanyun Masa has already figured out what Horikita Manabu is up to with his recent series of actions. Since the other party wants to arrange someone to seize power, then just wait and see.
“I’m looking forward to the results.”
Horikita Manabu pushed his glasses up on his nose and spoke in a calm tone.

Chapter 298: Ichinose Honami understood what her boyfriend meant.
The two of them did not deliberately avoid other people in their conversation, because Horikita Manabu and Minami Miyabi were the leaders and persons in charge of their respective grades. The other students in the second and third grades basically pretended not to hear, and the first-year students were concentrating on watching the progress of the game and had no time to pay attention to anything else.
There was only one person who listened to the entire conversation, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.
After he clarified the positions of these two people, new thoughts began to arise in his mind.
Judging from common sense, as the current student council president and the future successor, the relationship between these two people should be relatively good, but it seems that their conflict has long been made public.
Can this be exploited?
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka kept this in mind, but at this moment, he heard Hashima Hikaru, who was standing next to him, suddenly speak to him.
"Ayanokouji-kun, what place do you plan to get?"
"Just try your best. I'm just playing as a substitute."
"Aren't you going to fight for victory for the class?"
Hashima Hikaru smiled. After experiencing the physical game in the pole-reversing competition, the boy knew that the opponent's physical limit was also around 8 points, and wanted to see if he would choose to go all out.
"I'll run hard."
"That's not very convincing. You have to pay points to participate in the battle. Ayanokouji Kiyotaka-san is unwilling to serve the class?"
"What do you want to do?"
The handsome boy suddenly raised his head and looked directly into Hashima Hikaru's eyes.
"It's simple. I want to see you running at full speed. After all, we haven't decided the winner yet, right?"
"Winning or losing like this is meaningless. The result of our class cannot be changed."
After twelve games, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka knew that Class C had fallen far behind, and there was a high probability that they would be relegated to Class D again when the final results were announced.
"How about a bet?"
Hashima Hikaru didn't bring the contract with him, but his tone was very confident, "Let's see who can get the best result."
"What's the stakes?"
"It's a bet... the loser has to do something for the winner. This is a verbal invitation, you can treat it as a gentleman's agreement."
Staring at the other person's expressionless face, Hashima Hikaru gently said, "How about it, Ayanokouji-san, are you willing to accept this competition?"
"If it's a verbal agreement, it's going to be hard to enforce, right?"
"at this point……"
Just as the boy was about to answer, a voice suddenly interrupted their conversation.
"I can act as your notary and oversee the outcome of this bet."
"?"
Hashima Hikaru looked at Horikita Manabu who was standing on the other side. It was he who suddenly interrupted him just now.
The calm student council president looked at Ayanokouji Kiyotaka and continued, "As a member of the student council, I believe Hashima-kun will not do anything that goes against the agreement. I am willing to take the responsibility of notarization. If he loses in the end, I will supervise the execution of the result."
"Is that so?"
When Ayanokouji Kiyotaka saw everyone in the row looking at him, he thought for a moment and then nodded.
"Then I agree. I accept Hashima-san's bet."
"To ensure fairness, let's set off together."
Hashima Hikaru glanced at Kanzaki Ryuji who was about to rush over, while the boy from Class C was still some distance away.
"can."
"Such an interesting competition, can I join in?"
Nan Yun Masa has been paying close attention to the situation here. When he heard Horikita Manabu take the initiative to speak up for Hashima Hikaru, he immediately became interested.
"Will you, Nanyun-senpai, also come? But we're going to set off together, is that acceptable to you?"
Hashima Hikaru smiled slightly and explained to him the price he would have to pay.
However, the blond man did not choose to answer this question. Instead, he looked directly at Horikita Manabu and asked, "President Horikita, do you want to come with me? I now feel that the opportunity to compete with you is truly precious."
This is his real purpose, to drag Horikita Manabu into the water.
"This is indeed a rare situation, so I will participate."
Horikita Manabu replied calmly, "But I don't plan to participate in the bet. How about a simple competition?"
"No problem at all."
"Then let's wait until everyone has the baton before we start. This race is really getting more and more interesting."
Hashima Hikaru's gaze shifted to Nanyun Miyabi, because the boy from Class A, Grade 2, had already reached the position to pass the baton as the first one.
"Nagumo-kun, quickly grab the baton!"
Just after he handed the baton to Nan Yunya with sweat on his forehead, the blond man did not set off, but stood there without moving.
"?"
"Don't worry about me, go back first."
Nan Yunya played with the baton in her hand and said to him with a smile, "We have more important games to play."
important?
What could be more important than the outcome of the final round?
The confused second-year boy finally retreated. This scene attracted the attention of the audience. Everyone was surprised why Nan Yunya, who had a leading advantage, did not set off immediately.
"Hey, it looks like something interesting happened. It's a pity I wasn't at the game."
In the stands, the silver-haired Kiryuin Kaede and Asahina Nazuna were standing together watching the game. After witnessing this scene, she sighed with regret.
"What is that guy Ya doing? Why doesn't he run away?"
Asahina Nazuna was quite confused, and at this moment, another boy in her sight chose to stay where he was after getting the baton.
"What's going on here……"
On the field, after Hashima Hikaru took the baton handed over by Kanzaki Ryuji, he did not choose to start. Instead, he gave the other party a look that said I will explain it later, and watched him leave.
"What happened?"
The students in Class A of the first grade looked at each other in confusion. The competition had clearly reached the final stage, but Hashima Hikaru had stopped.
"Why didn't Hashima-san leave? Did something go wrong?"
"Yeah, isn't Hashima feeling unwell?"
Just as everyone was getting anxious, Ichinose Honami seemed to have suddenly realized something and said, "I see. Hikaru must be waiting for the others to take the baton so we can have a fair competition."
"A relay race inherently creates advantages for those who are ahead and those who are behind. Why wait for others?"
"No, first look at who are the people who stopped?"
The pink-haired girl already understood what her boyfriend was thinking, because right after Hashima Hikaru stopped, the next person to stop was the student council president, Horikita Manabu.
At this moment, everyone who was watching the game was stunned, and a new guess emerged in their minds.
The three people who stopped were all the talk of the town in their respective grades: the student council president Horikita Manabu, the second-year collective leader Minami Miyabi, and the freshman Hashima Hikaru, whose name had already spread throughout the school.
"Wait, are these people planning to start a race at the same time? That's crazy!"
"Wow!!!"
"Maybe we'll see them trying their best to win first place. That would be incredible!"
No one expected the situation to suddenly develop into this, and everyone's expression was filled with excitement.
Who is the number one in this school?
The answer is about to be revealed!
299
Chapter 299: The much-anticipated match.
When Horikita Manabu, Minamigumo Miyabi, and Hashima Hikaru each stood still at the starting point of the last leg, the students from both the White Group and the Red Group were all staring at the stadium intently. This scene was very rare, and everyone wanted to know who would win the final championship.
"But...why haven't they set off yet?"
Someone raised their own questions.
While the three of them were waiting at the starting point, other team members who caught up from behind handed the baton to their teammates. They all turned around and rushed out without hesitation.
"Yeah, why haven't they set off yet? Are they still waiting for someone?"
Shibata looked carefully at the few students left in the last round who had not yet received the baton, with a look of suspicion on his face.
"Is it a countdown?"
"It doesn't look like it. Maybe there are other reasons. Let's not worry about it. We will know soon."
Ichinose Honami expressed her thoughts. No matter what, since things have developed to this point, she is also looking forward to the final outcome.
"Hey, Hashima is getting into starting position, look!"
"Really? Is it time to start?"
All the students in Class A saw the changes in Hashima Hikaru's movements. The black-haired boy who had just been standing was now in a position ready to run, which could help him rush out faster.
"It's about to start. It's such an exciting game."
After catching a glimpse of Hashima Hikaru's movements, the blond student council vice-president began to move his body joints. He also had reasons to pursue victory in this game.
"indeed."
Horikita Manabu nodded without any further reply. He glanced at the Class C student who was about to pass the baton to Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, and then assumed his own ready stance.
"Will Ayanokouji-san give it his all?"
Hashima Hikaru smiled slightly and asked the boy next to him with a calm expression. After waiting for such a long time, most of the contestants in this row had already set off, but neither he nor the two seniors showed any nervousness.
"Who knows."
After responding lightly, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka took a starting position and stretched his left hand backwards in order to catch the baton handed to him by his teammate more quickly.
"Ayanokouji-kun!"
When the boy's voice sounded, Hashima Hikaru's expression changed. The next second, four people including him instantly ran out from the starting point and quickly approached the students in front.
"here we go!"
"Finally started running? Wow, Horikita-senpai is really in the lead?"
