The strongest high school student in Japan

"No, I don't accept it!" Zhenyou immediately shouted to deal with it. "Senior Sagihara, you are indeed a senior, but there is no such thing as a junior having to obey a senior in this world. Even if it existed before, it is gone now!"

"I'm sorry. I don't doubt your enthusiasm, but even if you say so... I can't agree." Asana shook her head gently, then looked at Sagihara Shion with a little apology, "Senior, I'm sorry."

348, Mediation

"Senior, I'm sorry."

Asana's tone was as gentle as ever, but Sagihara Shion sounded particularly uncomfortable at this moment.

Because the other party has no intention of making concessions to you at all.

Sagihara Shion took a deep breath and then looked at the two school girls.

They are indeed very cute.

They all have normal families and possess outstanding looks and talents, so they have been loved and envied since childhood.

They have everything they want, so they are so confident even when pursuing love.

There is no doubt that everyone's life is not smooth sailing, but no matter what, they are at least happier than most people.

Until now, she had no aversion to either of them, but...

Not convinced.

She just wasn't convinced.

Did God give them everything just to prove how ridiculous and pathetic they are?

Everything else would be fine, but he even wants to take away Chun Jun's favor from me. This is the only point I absolutely cannot give in to.

"You may have misunderstood. I'm not making a request, I'm stating a fact." Sagihara Shion's tone also became cold. "The fact is that I'm the most suitable candidate. You may not agree with me, but it doesn't matter. I will prove it to you and everyone else!"

Sagihara Shion also changed from her usual gentle demeanor, her eyes now filled with fighting spirit and desire to win.

Izumo Asana and Takasaki Mayu looked at each other unconsciously, and seemed to feel a little pressure.

In this way, all three of them issued declarations of absolute self-assertion, and these three declarations were a complete zero-sum game, with absolutely no room for concession or compromise.

The atmosphere between them suddenly became awkward and tense.

Of course, Jun Mogami could also feel this subtle atmosphere.

Logically speaking, it seemed like a great honor to see beautiful girls arguing for him, but after experiencing it personally, he could feel how uncomfortable it was. If possible, he would rather disappear now to avoid this unbearable embarrassment.

As he had said before, he didn't want to see them quarreling, especially quarreling about himself, because he didn't deserve it.

He liked the way they were, so he especially didn't want to see them become something other than what they were originally.

So he couldn't escape. The situation was beyond his control. If he continued to avoid it, it would only get worse. If an irreparable rift was created between them, wouldn't all his previous efforts become a joke?

Thinking of this, he no longer cared about the embarrassment and walked directly to Hyoudou Takako and spoke to her.

"Hyoudou-senpai, we can just solve the problems between us by ourselves. Why do we need others to get involved? Besides, I have confidence in myself. I don't need others to look after me. So, please stop playing games and let them go back."

"Just because you are confident in yourself doesn't mean I have to be confident in you, right?" Hyoudou Takako asked back. "Besides, even if I am confident in you, why can't I go if I can arrange an insurance?"

"That depends on my opinion, right?" Mogami Jun asked back, "I'll say it again, we can just solve our own problems, there's no need to bring anyone else along—"

"It's no use telling me this... Don't you see how enthusiastic they are?" Hyoudou Takako gestured, signaling Mogami Jun to go and have a look. "Even if I tell them to stop now, are they willing to give up the opportunity to help you and enjoy a luxurious trip with you?"

Mogami Jun looked in the direction her finger pointed and saw that the three of them were still confronting each other, arguing in low voices.

He turned around and stared at Hyoudou Takako angrily. But Hyoudou Takako was looking at them with great interest, as if she was expecting something.

"In fact, you made such a scene just to satisfy your own bad taste, right? Sagihara-senpai is right, you just like to see others in pain!"

"It's already this late and you're still pretending not to know who I am. It seems a little too late, isn't it?" Hyoudou Takako still smiled, "If you know, then why are you still so angry with me? Don't you know that this will make me very happy?"

Mogami Jun was suddenly speechless.

He knew that it would be meaningless for him to scold her now, as it would only make her more satisfied. He couldn't really punch her.

Faced with such a situation, he suddenly felt like he had no idea where to start.

I'll keep this debt in mind for now, and I'll find a way to repay it tenfold in the future. The most important thing now is to find a way to solve the current problem.

He didn't bother to argue with Hyoudou Takako anymore and walked back to the three of them.

The first person he intended to persuade was Sagihara-senpai, because among the people present, Sagihara Shion was the one who had the most dealings with Hyoudou Takako and knew Hyoudou Takako's character best.

"Senior, please stop arguing with the two of them. Didn't you just say that? Hyodou Takako has evil intentions and just wants to sow discord and watch us quarrel... so why should we let her get what she wants?"

Sagihara Shion turned around, looked at Mogami Jun, and sighed softly.

"Jun-kun, of course I know what Hyoudou Takako thinks, but for me, there is also a position that I have to stick to. Even if she might laugh at me, I can't let you face failure because of an inappropriate helper..."

"Don't you believe me? I can win without anyone's help." Mogami Jun frowned.

"I believe in you. I believe in you the most. But even if it can increase your chances of winning by 1%, I will gladly do it. What if I have to pay a little price for it?" Sagihara Shion was still stubborn. "Chun-kun, I said so many big words to you. If I retreat and run away when the time comes, even if you don't laugh at me, how can I bear it? So please don't persuade me anymore. I must stick to my own opinion."

"What's the point of persisting in such a weird place?" Mogami Jun sighed helplessly.

"It's not inexplicable to me." Sagihara Shion frowned slightly, and then suddenly asked, "But, Junjun, if you insist, then I will listen to your wishes and tell me, who do you want to go? If you tell me clearly who you have in mind, then I can accept it, even if that person is not me..."

Ah? What does "the person in mind" mean?

How come it seems like this has escalated to a question of who I trust the most?

Looking at the stars in Sagihara Shion's eyes, Mogami Jun didn't dare to say anything more.

Reason told him that if he said it now, no matter what the answer was, it would cause a storm that would be difficult to end.

"Wait a moment." He calmed himself down a little.

Then he walked over to Izumo Asana.

"Asana..." He forced a smile.

"Jun?" Asana asked in a low voice.

Mogami Jun keenly felt that the way she looked at him was different from usual, with a little more wariness.

"I have a favor to ask of you." He said stiffly.

"You... do you want me to quit?" Asana asked immediately.

"…What if that's the case?"

"No, don't." Asana shook her head. "Chun, I owe you a favor, so I will try my best to meet your requests, no matter what they are. But this is the only thing I can't do. I finally have the opportunity to go through hardships with you and repay your kindness in the past. How can I... How can I back down because of a few words from others?"

"I never said you owed me anything, did I?" Mogami Jun shook his head. "Don't dwell on this matter anymore. Just listen to me..."

"If you want to get what you want, you have to work hard for it. It's meaningless to just follow the arrangements of others. This is the truth you taught me, Jun. I have always kept it in mind..." Asana suddenly interrupted him, "So even if you said it, I can't listen this time, because... because... I want to be a part of your memory of victory!"

When she said this, she suddenly lowered her voice again, "Even if we don't win, we can go boating on the sea together and watch the sunrise and sunset. Such a journey will definitely...will definitely be very happy..."

Uh……

Mogami Jun didn't know whether to feel depressed or touched.

I'm still touched.

At this moment, he felt a little reluctant to interrupt Asana's fantasy.

"Sorry, wait a moment." He could only hurriedly end the conversation between the two.

He walked to the side of Takasaki Mayu again.

"Yuzu-chan..."

"Stop talking, You Jiang won't listen, You Jiang doesn't want to listen!" Before he could finish his greeting, Zhen You suddenly interrupted him and covered his ears. "You Jiang won't agree to you!"

"I haven't told you my request yet..." Mogami Jun smiled bitterly.

"Even if Jun-chan didn't say anything, Yu-chan would have guessed it. Anyway, you want Yu-chan to withdraw on her own initiative and stop arguing with the seniors and the young ladies, right?" Shin Yu-chan glared at Jun Mogami, "You can't persuade them, so why bother trying to persuade Yu-chan? They won't give in, so why should Yu-chan give in?"

Before Mogami Jun could say anything else, Shinyu continued, "Jun-chan has heard it just now, right? Miss Izumo remembers clearly that Yu-chan lost the tennis match! What about the defeated opponent... Yu-chan has nothing to say. After all, losing is losing, and it is her own fault if she has to be embarrassed. But Yu-chan has already experienced the feeling of being dominated by someone, and she will never experience it again. It is too uncomfortable! Absolutely not..."

Mayu finished speaking in one breath with anger, which showed that Asana's words just now really aroused her anger.

For her, who is so proud and arrogant, if she retreats now, it would be tantamount to admitting that she is inferior to others, which is simply unacceptable.

Hey……

A sigh echoed in Jun Mogami's mind.

He tried to persuade them, but none of the three were willing to back down. On the contrary, each of them was full of fighting spirit and was determined not to give up until they got this chance.

Three people were facing each other, but he was caught in the middle.

Who should I choose?

He didn't know, but he knew that no matter what choice he made, it would be an unbearable blow to the two people who were excluded.

Is this lucky or unfortunate?

After the conversation with Jun Mogami, they started to confront and argue again, and Jun Mogami watched helplessly as the situation became out of control.

Just as he walked to the side, frowning and thinking about how to solve the problem, the voice of Hyoudou Takako suddenly rang out beside him.

"Are you in trouble? Oh, how pitiful..."

After hearing these sarcastic words, Mogami Jun glared at Hyoudou Takako. "Didn't you cause all this on purpose?"

"Yes, it was my fault. What a pity! I am so sorry for you!" Hyoudou Takako snickered maliciously, "So, it is my responsibility to help you solve this problem...right?"

"What do you want to do?" Jun Mogami immediately became alert.

"Let me give you an idea—" Hyoudou Takako smiled broadly, "Let them play a fair game, and let the winner get the reward of accompanying you to the meeting... No one will complain this way, right?"

Mogami Jun didn't answer immediately.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm trying my best to help you." Hyoudou Takako shrugged. "Of course, I don't deny that there's a bit of my own bad taste in this. After all... I love playing games the most~ Hahahahahahaha..."

In addition to Wendy, the Wendy pool also drew Jean and Keqing, and I couldn't stop playing...

349, Golden Apple

"After all... I love playing games the most~ Hahahahahaha..."

No one responded to Hyoudou Takako's wild laughter. Everyone listened to her arrogant declaration in silence, with their own thoughts.

Although he was very angry, Mogami Jun did not let his anger cloud his mind. Instead, he thought about what she said.

He was indeed in a dilemma at the moment. The three of them had been aroused by Hyodou Takako's desire to win and were also angry. No matter how eloquent he was, it would be difficult to dispel the anger between them with just a few words.

Since I have no other options, I might as well see what Hyoudou Takako is up to.

Although it feels very unpleasant to be led by someone, now is not the time to worry about it. It will not be too late to settle the score later.

"What game do you want to play?" asked Jun Mogami in a deep voice.

"Haven't you already played it? Why are you asking me when you already know the answer?" Hyoudou Takako asked back.

"No!" Mogami Jun refused flatly, "I will never allow them to face any personal danger."

"Don't worry, I don't plan to draw blood this time. No matter whether they win or lose, they won't suffer any physical harm." Hyoudou Takako shook her head, "The winner of the game will get the reward I promised; the loser will not be punished, but I can't be responsible for comforting their psychological loss, so this is your job~"

Although Hyoudou Takako was obviously mocking and teasing, Mogami Jun actually felt a little relieved after hearing it.

At least she promised not to cause any physical harm, which meant that all three of them would be able to escape unscathed no matter what, and his biggest worry was gone.

Although Hyodou Takako has many shortcomings, he has one advantage, which is that he keeps his promises - at least that's what he saw with Sagihara-senpai.

If her promise is true, it would be a solution to the current dilemma...

In ancient Greek mythology, it is said that when Achilles' parents held their wedding, they did not invite Eris, the goddess of discord. Eris was furious, secretly came to the banquet, and threw down a "golden apple of discord" with the words "for the most beautiful woman" written on it.

When the three goddesses Hera, Athena and Aphrodite saw the apple, they began to fight over it. Zeus then asked them to ask the Trojan prince Paris to judge.

In order to win, the three goddesses promised Paris the greatest benefits. Hera promised him to be the greatest monarch, Athena promised him to be the bravest warrior, and Aphrodite promised him to marry the most beautiful woman. Paris, who loved beauty more than the country, finally decided that Aphrodite was the most beautiful.

He then visited Sparta and kidnapped Helen, the wife of King Menelaos of Sparta, and robbed a large amount of wealth, which aroused the indignation of all Greeks, so the Greek countries formed an alliance to expedition against the Trojans, and the Trojan War broke out.

Hyoudou Takako did the same thing.

And that "golden apple of discord" seems to be myself again?

The situation is pressing now and he has no way to refuse, but if he takes the initiative to choose anyone, it will lead to a difficult result.

Therefore, it seems that the most reasonable approach is to let them decide the winner through a duel and let the loser accept the defeat.

Although it is annoying to be schemed against by Hyoudou Takako, one cannot deny a reasonable solution just because of a personal dispute.
