Ichinose, you will regret it.

Uesugi Gen put his arm around Shibata's shoulders and looked at him seriously. "Shibata, it's time to prove yourself as the strongest athlete. Come on! As the first friend I've made in this school, I've always believed in you. You must believe in the bond between us. You must win, ah-sa!"

Listening to Uesugi Gen's encouraging words, Shibata Sa was speechless for a moment, "Uesugi...you guy..."

"I bet 5000 points on you to win!"

“…Go to hell!!!”

The final reality is very bleak. The strongest athlete defeated the fastest legend of the original Class B.

Uesugi Gen was furious: "That damned red-haired bad boy actually made me lose a huge sum of 5000 points! Shibata, let me go! I'm going to eat him!"

Chapter 134 Don’t bother me.

Next to the tent.

Uesugi Gen was looking far away in the direction of the women's obstacle race.

His vice-class monitor seemed to have been stumped at the first level. Ichinose was swaying precariously on the balance beam, arms outstretched, trying to adjust her body. One foot swung in mid-air for a long time before finally landing. Unfortunately, her efforts were quickly wasted.

Because when Uesugi Gen was looking at Ichinose, Ichinose was also inadvertently paying attention to Uesugi Gen's direction. As a result, Ichinose was distracted and failed to maintain his balance, fell to the ground, and had to start all over again.

Looking at Ichinose who was sticking out her tongue at him embarrassedly, Uesugi Gen shook his head and smiled helplessly. His vice-class monitor's sense of balance was indeed not very good.

Although he was not good at obstacle courses, Ichinose had good speed and quickly made up for the deficit in the second half, ultimately achieving a decent 4th place.

Just when Uesugi Gen was about to finish refueling and go to the cabin to enjoy the air conditioning, another figure caught his attention.

That's... Miss Horikita...

Unlike Ichinose, Horikita Suzune had very good motor skills and quickly passed the first few obstacles. At the same time, another Class C player followed closely behind, gradually shortening the distance between them.

But the next moment, the accident happened.

The two people who were fighting for the first place on the track got entangled with each other and fell to the ground.

Although Horikita Suzune gritted her teeth and stood up immediately after falling, some things don't work just by persistence. The fall just now obviously hurt her leg. Although she endured the pain and moved towards the finish line, she was still overtaken by the later players because of her slowing speed, and only got the second to last place.

After getting this result, Horikita Suzune did not make any excuses, but walked out of the stadium alone with a calm expression.

Uesugi Gen sighed and walked towards the medical hut.

In a secluded corner beside the playground, Horikita Suzune was sitting on the ground in her sportswear, hugging her knees, staring at the grass, wondering what she was thinking.

A sound of slow and unhurried footsteps came from behind her. Horikita Suzune didn't turn around, because she knew who it was.

"I'm fine, I don't need your comfort."

Horikita Suzune's cold voice came out.

"I know."

The figure sat down next to her.

"Don't tell my brother."

There was some emotion in the voice.

"Okay, it's up to you."

“I’m going to continue competing.”

There was determination in the stubborn voice.

"No, you have to listen to me."

"Why? Why should I listen to you? I make my own decisions."

Horikita Suzune's voice couldn't help but get louder. She suddenly turned her head and looked directly at Uesugi Gen, her big eyes revealing stubbornness and unwillingness.

"You're too stubborn. If no one's watching you, you'll end up getting bruised and battered. Even your brother can't control you, so I, your only friend, have to do it."

Uesugi Gen looked directly into Horikita Suzune's eyes and spoke gently.

"Go away, I don't want you to care."

Horikita Suzune's voice trembled as she suddenly reached out and pushed Uesugi Gen away, struggling to get up and leave.

Uesugi Gen reached out and grabbed Horikita Suzune's wrist as she was halfway up, pulling her directly into his arms. "No, you must be under my control, and only me."

"Uesugi Gen, let me go. I don't want you to care about me anymore, and I don't want you as my only friend anymore."

Horikita Suzune's voice was filled with tears. She stretched out her fist and hit Uesugi Gen desperately, struggling to get out of his arms.

"It's too late. You can't give up even if you want to. It was you who set the goal of defeating me. If the opponent is too weak, it will only lower my level."

In the face of Horikita Suzune's struggle, Uesugi Gen not only did not let go, but pushed her into his arms even harder.

"So, until you grow up to my satisfaction, be good to me."

"You are making unreasonable demands. There is no basis for your claims."

"There are so many things in the world that have no basis, and mine is no exception."

"I will definitely beat you, now let me go to the competition!"

"Then defeat me first. Maybe you will never be able to defeat me in this life, and you will be under my control for the rest of your life. Or do you want to break the agreement between us? That's fine. If you give up, I will let you go now."

“…You…”

Horikita Suzune pushed her head hard against Uesugi Gen's chest and said weakly, "Asshole..."

Uesugi Gen hugged Horikita Suzune's slender body and comforted her, "I know, Suzune is really looking forward to competing with her brother this time. She marked today on her phone long ago and has been practicing on the playground for a while every day for this."

"You knew it, but you still stopped me..."

"If I don't stop you, this stubborn girl in my arms will probably pretend nothing happened and go to the competition despite her foot injury and the pain."

"You're the stubborn one..."

Uesugi Gen pulled Horikita Suzune up and stroked her smooth black hair. "I definitely won't let you participate, but I have another plan. Would you like to try it?"

"What plan?"

Horikita Suzune, whose emotions had calmed down a little, stared at Uesugi Gen suspiciously.

Uesugi Gen raised his thumb and pointed back at himself, "I'll run the last leg later. You come and cheer me on. I'll help you take out Horikita Manabu!"

"?"

Horikita Suzune looked up, seemingly startled by Uesugi Gen's confusing actions. "Is there any connection here?"

"Who says competition only takes place on the track? Off-field confrontations are also part of the game, okay? The two of us formed an alliance and teamed up to take down your brother, so you can feel a sense of participation."

"#!"

Horikita Suzune reached out and grabbed Uesugi Gen's waist, twisting it 180 degrees, "You're the one who feels involved!"

"It hurts, it hurts, Miss Horikita, please let go."

Uesugi Gen took a deep breath and quickly patted Horikita Suzune's hand.

"So do you want this plan?"

Horikita Suzune lowered her head in thought for a moment, then gritted her teeth and glared at Uesugi Gen, "Yes!"

"That's it."

Uesugi Gen smiled with the satisfaction of having succeeded in his plan.

……

"I have to go now."

Horikita Suzune stayed in Uesugi Gen's arms for a while, and then turned into the cold beauty who kept strangers away. She struggled to get up and tried to leave.

"Don't worry, before that..."

Uesugi Gen quickly carried Horikita Suzune horizontally, took off her shoes smoothly, and pulled up her small feet in white socks. "Let me see what your feet look like."

"Hey... Hey, what are you doing, you bastard? I can do it myself. It's very dirty. I just ran and I'm covered in sweat. Ah~"

The aloof Miss Horikita suddenly lost her composure and made a cute sound that was different from her usual one.

Chapter 135: The smartass Erxiang.

Inside the medical cabin.

Uesugi Gen grinned as he watched the elastic bandage being wrapped around Horikita Suzune's slender ankle in circles. The white little foot had been iced in advance to reduce the swelling, and all she needed to do next was get enough rest.

Suddenly, a cold gaze swept towards Uesugi Gen and looked at him coldly.

【Turn your head away, don’t look! 】

"You're such a ruthless woman! I was the one who massaged your feet to reduce the swelling, wasn't I?"

【That's why I only slapped you twice.】

"You are such a heartless woman. I think I'm already red behind your back."

【See if you dare. 】

Thinking of this, Horikita Suzune's pretty face flushed unnaturally. No matter how indifferent she was to relationships, she knew that place wasn't for just anyone to touch. But why had she been unable to resist that bastard just now?

I told you it's dirty, but you still touch it...

"The complaint report has been submitted, but judging by your frequent backtracking, it seems like it's just another scramble between the two sides."

Uesugi Gen leaned against the wall and spoke to Horikita Suzune.

The contestant from Class C also seemed to have injured his foot, so with both sides injured, they could only take fifty lashes each.

If Ryuuen appeals again, even if that four-eyed beastly man won't do anything on the surface for the sake of his brother's face, he will secretly ask Uesugi Gen to smooth things over.

Horikita Suzune sighed, "With my personality, I shouldn't look back whether someone calls me or not."

"That's your own problem. You are free to choose how to handle interpersonal relationships."

Uesugi Gen glanced at the time on his phone and said, "The horseback riding battle is about to begin. I'm leaving now. You just stay here."

After saying that, he walked out of the infirmary by himself.

"Hey!"

Horikita Suzune shouted from behind, "Keep your best, and... be careful of Ryuen's tricks."

Uesugi Gen waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you get revenge later."

"That's not what I meant."

……

Horseback riding is a team-based, complex competitive game. Four people form a group, one of whom is the rider, and the other three are responsible for the horse's head and body, carrying the rider to move. The winner is the one who grabs the opponent's rider's headscarf. If the other rider falls to the ground, he will automatically withdraw from the game.

Since physical collisions are not prohibited in this competition, this match is an advantage for Class C, which has many fighting students.

"Shibata, when the race starts, run towards Katsuragi's B class. The fastest ones. That Ryuen guy seems to have bad intentions."

Noticing Ryuen's sinister smile, Uesugi Gen immediately pressed Shibata's shoulders and made his move.

"No problem, Watanabe and Sumida, are you okay?"

"no problem."

The two former Class B students who served as the horse's body answered at the same time.

Ken Sudo from Class D was staring at the direction of Class C with a look of fighting spirit. It seemed that he had chosen his target from the beginning. For him with his outstanding physical fitness, there was no need to grab the headscarf, he just needed to rush over and knock the opponent's rider to the ground.

Although there were no points, it still created an advantage for their team. Of course, Class C also adopted a similar strategy because of Albert.

Uesugi Gen thought his plan was pretty good, but as the game began, he found himself in an unexpected situation.

"Hey, Katsuragi, you're cheating."

"Everything I did was in compliance with the rules of the game and there was no cheating."

Opposite Uesugi Gen, Katsuragi Kohei defended himself in a deep voice.

“Isn’t this cheating?”
