A newbie's anime life diary

"That's a good boy. Don't worry, I'll return the photos to you after you delete the ones about me. You can take pictures of anyone who has nothing to do with me. By the way, did you investigate the matter I told you before about Mr. Inoue, the PE teacher, pursuing that new English teacher? That's big news, isn't it? What's the point of always making headlines about students?"

After leaving Hatanori to air out for a few days, Xuehui had a good talk with her. On the condition that he would no longer film her, he returned all the equipment to her and also had a good chat with her about how to be a good reporter, a good gossip reporter.

After only a few days of peace, he was photographed on himself again.

Xuehui could only say that this child really doesn't learn from his mistakes at all.

Chapter 156 The Afternoon Match

After seeing Ranko Hata off, Yukiteru returned to the Service Club, where Yukino and the others had already taken out their bento boxes and were waiting for her to return.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Xuehui felt very embarrassed seeing that everyone was waiting for him.

Yukino handed Yukiteru's bento box to him and asked, "Did you run into someone?"

Upon hearing this, Xuehui could only smile helplessly: "Just some unrepentant little fellow."

Eriri, Yuihama, and the others standing nearby were unaware of the situation, but Yukino and Utaha understood. It turned out that it was Hata Ranko, that ever-present gossip reporter, who had been following them all along.

However, judging from Xuehui's appearance, it seemed to be resolved, so they didn't take it to heart.

After finishing their meal and resting for a while, the competition resumed at 1:00 PM.

Of the afternoon's projects, aside from a few smaller ones, the last two major projects were the most noteworthy.

The first major event this afternoon was the women's competition...

Looking at the knight princess outfits worn by those girls, although they were pleasing to the eye, Xuehui still felt somewhat speechless.

In the ACG world of this world, there are indeed many similar knight princess characters, and some even have outfits similar to Saber. However, the character Arthur Artoria has never existed.

After all, King Arthur couldn't possibly be a girl!

'But... is it possible for me to research and summon a female version of King Arthur myself? After all, similar summoning spells have existed before...'

Seriously, the more I think about it, the more distorted it gets.

Fortunately, it was just a thought. Xuehui knew that, for the time being, his idea was simply nonsense. After all, the King Arthur in this world was not the one from the Type-Moon world. Putting aside gender, he had at least seen the actual pictures and information about the so-called Sword in the Stone, and there was no mysterious power involved.

Perhaps the legendary Merlin was indeed a great magician, but the so-called chosen one is probably mostly a hoax.

Bringing her thoughts back, Xuehui looked at the three people not far away who were smugly pleased with the effect of their outfits, and completely lost her mind. These guys were really bold, cosplaying at the sports festival. Luckily, the style of the outfits was relatively normal, otherwise, it would be hard to say whether it would even be approved.

"Hmph, Yukino, you're going to lose to me this time." Utaha, arms crossed and a white ribbon tied around her forehead, looked at Yukino with a confident expression.

"Ha...you really are persistent." With a sigh, Yukino didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm, so she thought to herself, "Let Utaha spin around a couple of times before I win."

It has to be said that in some ways, Yukino and Yukiteru are becoming more and more alike. Although she is not as powerful as Yukiteru, in some situations, she really doesn't need to watch the process; she can see the ending directly—that's how confident she is.

The major competition for women is a horse-riding competition, where four people carry a general on their shoulders, and the two sides compete for the ribbon on the general's head. The competition ends when one side is completely wiped out.

Standing on the sidelines, Yukiteru said to Hachiman beside him, "This is the first time I've ever seen a girl in our school with such great strength."

"Ah, this is the first time I've heard of this either."

Looking at the women on the field, who were carrying the weight of their men one by one, the two nodded in agreement.

As for safety, they are not worried about it because their clothing is equipped with protective measures. Unless they fall on flat ground, they will not get injured at all.

"Snapped!"

On the field, while shouting, Yumiko Miura, who had just brushed past Yukino, fell to the ground.

"...Just now, there didn't seem to be any collision, right?" Hikigaya asked, looking at Miura Yumiko who was getting up with a regretful expression.

"On the basketball court, this would be called flopping, but unfortunately it doesn't apply here."

As Xuehui explained, he glanced at Eriri, who was being chased all over the place by Shiyu. This child had been dragged in to make up the numbers again, and because of her attitude towards Shiyu this morning, she was quickly targeted.

"Hey, you crazy woman! Didn't you say you were going to fight Yukinoshita? Why are you grabbing me?!" Eriri was almost in despair, quietly gripping the shoulders of the people below. Although the four below were walking steadily, the sudden increase in speed made them wobble uncomfortably!

"Hmph, doesn't Sawamura-kun know what 'pick the softest persimmon' means? Someone like you, who's just giving away points, should be dealt with first, consider it practice for me! Come on, don't run away, I won't hurt you, hahaha!"

Looking at Eriri, who was desperately trying to escape ahead, screaming and with tears in her eyes, Shiha felt refreshed, and all her previous frustration had vanished.

A few minutes later, Eriri was finally forced by Utaha to remove the ribbon from her head. Although she tried to resist, she was already in a panic and had no strategy to deal with it, so she was taken away in one fell swoop.

"Alright, next up is you, Yukino-chan."

Directing the four below to change direction, Utaha looked at Yukino, who had just snatched another ribbon.

'You're that confident just because you beat Sawamura?'

Shaking her head, Yukino pointed forward and rushed towards Utaha.

The result was self-evident. Although Shiyu's attack was accurate, it was too direct and was easily blocked by Yukino. Before Shiyu could even recover, Yukino raised her hand and pressed it against Shiyu's forehead, giving her a slap.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, defeated.

Looking at the stunned Shiwa, Yukino said somewhat embarrassedly, "Well, although I'm not very strong, I did study Aikido for a while, so I have a big advantage when using some of the techniques."

Afterwards, as she was leaving, Shiyu, dressed in a cosplay outfit, came to Yukiteru's side, looking very dejected: "I lost, I was completely defeated..."

After giving a wry smile, Yuki looked up and patted Shino's head, comforting her, "Well, you're always involved. Yukino has learned a lot of miscellaneous things, so in some situations, she does have a greater advantage than others. There's nothing to be disappointed about. After all, you're much better than those who didn't win against anyone."

"Really? It's just a blond guy who doesn't even put up much resistance..." Shi Yu sighed, and could only helplessly accept this reality.

More than ten minutes later, under everyone's tense attention, the red team, led by Yukino and others, won the competition with a huge advantage in this major event, which can be said to have attracted a lot of attention.

After the female contestants changed back into their own clothes, the competition venue was also changed. The last event was a competition between the boys.

Hmm... a contest.

Yeah, I touched it.

Chapter 157 Pushing the Stick

On the playground, two thin, long cylindrical objects are placed on either side, one red and one white, which are very eye-catching.

Following the crowd, Yukiteru, Hikigaya, and Yoshiteru Zaimokuza walked towards the red pillar, while Tomoya Aki was on the white team. Well... he wasn't exactly a fighter, so we'll ignore him.

Just then, the voice of a certain fujoshi (female fan of BL) came over the loudspeaker again: "Ladies and gentlemen, the last event of the Sports Festival, the final battle of the men's division, the bat-pushing battle! First, let's introduce the captains of both teams! The captain of the white team is Hayama Hayato, the captain of the soccer club, while the captain of the red team is Totsuka Saika, the captain of the tennis club! Now, let's look forward to the fierce clash between the two teams!!!"

With a sigh, Yukiteru looked at Totsuka Saika, who looked utterly defeated, and Hayama Hayato, who was stretching his body on the other side, and said, "I feel like we're not even close to each other in terms of momentum. They have a grand and imposing presence over there, while we here are just lazy and listless."

"Aren't you the same way..." Hachiman looked at Yukiteru, who was completely oblivious, and made a very precise remark.

“I can’t help it, I just can’t muster the interest. Well, even though I could win by myself, it’s a team competition, and everyone has to contribute. Let’s try to find a way to motivate them.” Xuehui pointed to the guys leaning against the pillar, looking completely unmotivated, and said, “Let’s get their morale up first. Once the match starts, your main job is to stop them. Leave the offense to me.”

"You alone? Are you sure you can manage?" Hachiman looked at him with disbelief.

"Oh? You don't believe me?" Yukiteru clenched his fist and gestured in front of Hachiman, asking, "Believe it or not, even if three Hiratsuka Shizukas stood in front of me right now, I wouldn't be afraid, let alone this group of high school students."

"Three Hiratsuka-sensei... Ouch!!!" After imagining what three Hiratsuka Shizukas would mean, Mr. Hachiman felt a chill run down his spine, then realized, "Wait, did you use 'Hiratsuka-sensei' as a unit of measurement?"

"Well, that was just an example. Anyway, I'll leave the morale-boosting to you guys. I'm going to talk to the opposing general." Yukiteru patted Hikigaya and Zaimokuza on the shoulder and walked towards Hayama Hayato.

On the White Team's side, Hayato Hayama greeted Yukiteru with a smile as he approached, saying, "It seems like your team isn't very cohesive."

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. We've already asked people to come up with a solution." Yukiteru smiled as he looked at Yoshiteru Zaimokuza and Saika Totsuka, who were already standing in front of everyone. "But even so, you might not be able to win."

“I understand that very well. Hiratsuka-kun, your strength is beyond the level of a high school student; you're practically an outsider. But even if you understand that, we won't let you win so easily.” Hayama Hayato had essentially given up on competing with Yukiteru for the title of victor and was only focused on giving it his all.

It can be said that Hayato Hayama has a very good mentality, which is something that Yukiteru admires about him. This kind of attitude of persisting despite knowing that the road ahead is difficult is very rare.

"I hope you won't cry when you lose." After a little teasing, Xuehui returned to his red team's camp.

At this moment, Zaimokuza, thanks to the adorable Totsuka Saika, successfully aroused the fighting spirit of these boys, and they all vowed to protect the little angel Saika.

So, cute boys these days are really scary. Boys who like cute boys are even scarier...

Five minutes later, both teams had assembled and stood on opposite sides of the playground, gazing at each other.

Standing in the front row, Totsuka Saika asked Yukiteru beside her, "Um, Hiratsuka-kun, are you sure it's okay if you attack alone?"

"Don't worry, I never do anything I'm not sure of. You just need to hold your ground."

Although Totsuka Saika was still a little worried, she finally agreed after seeing Yukiteru's expression.

"Alright, the final match of the Sports Festival, the bat-pushing battle, shall begin!!!"

"Oh!"

As soon as the starting gun fired, the boys of the white team rushed towards the red team, their target the white pillar that was being closely guarded behind them.

"You won't succeed!"

"Protect the general!"

"Protect the little angels of the rainbow!!!"

Listening to the increasingly strange statements, Xuehui felt it was best to stay away as soon as possible.

After dodging several white team boys who rushed over, Xuehui, the only boy from the red team to break out of his position, marched towards the enemy's position under the watchful eyes of everyone.

"Oh! Look! Hiratsuka Yukiteru from the Red Team is advancing towards the enemy alone, but he's about to face five burly men! How will he handle this? Will he just bite and stretch his muscles together... uh... and solve it?"

Looking at the situation on the field, Ebina Hina, who was originally giving a red-faced commentary, suddenly realized that Yukiteru had easily taken down the five white team boys who surrounded him and continued to walk forward without any hindrance.

On the other side of the audience, Eriri and Yui watched Yukiteru's performance on the field and exclaimed repeatedly, "Wow, that's amazing!"

Yukino and Utaha, on the other hand, were much calmer.

"Oh dear, this isn't bullying, this kid is really something."

Just then, Sister Xiaojing's voice came over, and the girls finally saw her, who had been so busy all day, come to the audience.

"Shizuka-nee, are you done with your work?" Yukino looked at Shizuka-nee, who was leaning against a plate. She knew that as a teacher, Shizuka had a lot to do today, acting as a referee and maintaining order. Especially today, the sports festival had received a particularly enthusiastic response, making management much more difficult. The teachers didn't know whether they should be happy or not.

"Yeah, I'm exhausted after all that work. I need to rest." Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Hiratsuka Shizuka watched Yukiteru's performance on stage with a relaxed expression. "This guy, so high-profile, isn't he worried about becoming famous?"

"Xuehui-kun has become famous enough today, so this little bit more probably won't make a difference," Shiyu said. Xuehui had really stole the show in today's competition. He not only won first place in all the events he participated in, but also showered everyone with a lot of PDA. He has gained a lot of fame among both boys and girls.
