Ichinose, you will regret it.

Defeating you would only lower my status...

I never considered you as my rivals...

Uesugi Gen's words echoed in Nanyun Ya's mind over and over again. For some reason, his legs suddenly became weak. Horikita Manabu, who was originally two body lengths ahead of him, slowly distanced himself from him, and his figure gradually became blurred.

His arms swung mechanically, his legs were stiffly raised, and his rapid breathing echoed in his ears, over and over again...

Why had the 200 meters taken so long? Where was Uesugi Gen? Where was he? Nanyun Ya subconsciously moved to the side of the track. The next second, he felt like he had bumped into something, and his whole body was spinning. In the midst of the struggle, he saw Uesugi Gen, who had already crossed the finish line.

It turns out that in his eyes, we are not worth mentioning at all!

Amid the exclamations of the audience, Nan Yunya fell heavily to the ground...

Chapter 140 ends.

"hu~hu~"

Horikita Manabu supported his knees with his hands and looked up. Uesugi Gen's breathing was still steady, and the beads of sweat that appeared on his skin were so strong that Horikita Manabu even suspected that they were caused by the sun.

"You... weren't running seriously at all."

Uesugi Gen was arrogantly enjoying the cheers of the former Class B students with his arms spread wide, shouting at them, "From today on, I am the strongest athlete in the first year of Gaoyu. From now on, when you fight crickets, I want to be T0!"

Everyone in the former B class: "Oh! From today on, Uesugi will definitely beat Shibata."

Shibata's face was filled with black lines: "That's enough!"

Horikita Manabu: "..."

"Running seriously is tiring, but as long as everyone finds it exciting, that's all that matters."

Uesugi Gen responded to Horikita Manabu's words while waving his arms around.

"That's right. No matter how it goes, you're the winner of this game."

Horikita Manabu's breathing steadied a bit, and he stood up and walked towards his class camp. "Perhaps I should be the one feeling resentful for not pushing you to your full potential..."

All competitions for this sports festival have officially concluded. Please gather in the designated area for the closing ceremony.

The broadcast sounded all around, and the cheers around immediately quieted down. The crowd gathered and flowed, heading towards the designated area as if returning home.

"That's a shame. After all, this is your last sports festival."

"yes……"

Horikita Manabu said with emotion.

……

After senior Fujimaki boasted a lot at the podium, the results of the sports festival were finally announced, and the eyes of all the teachers and students in the school were focused on a huge electronic billboard.

Fujimaki student began to speak: "Now, we will announce the results of this sports festival—"

At the same time, a countdown began to appear on the electronic billboard.

【Red Group:White Group】

【12511: 9312】

[Red Team Victory]

The Red Group area where Uesugi Gen was located erupted in cheers again. Students from each class waved their hands, shouted, and hugged each other without caring about their image, venting their emotions freely.

After all the classes were quiet, the broadcast sounded again.

The overall scores of each class will be announced later.

The students from Class B weren't particularly nervous about this outcome. Knowing that Team Red had won, with Class B missing one player, Class C suspended and deducted 300 points, and Class D being targeted by Class C and having injured players, Class A's ranking shouldn't be bad at all.

The ranking of the first-grade classes by comprehensive scores is as follows:

[First place: Class A, Grade 1]

Second place: Class 1, Grade B

[Third place: Class D, Grade 1]

【Fourth Place, Grade 1, Class C】

"Yeah! We won!"

Ichinose, who was standing next to him, suddenly rushed over and hugged Uesugi Gen's neck, jumping and talking.

"Yes, we won. You worked really hard this time."

Uesugi Gen said as he touched Ichinose's head.

“We worked very hard.”

Ichinose corrected excitedly.

Unlike the previous exams, the students of the former Class B all knew that the reason they won the previous special exams was entirely due to the personal ability of Uesugi Gen, who pulled the entire class forward. But this time was different. Every classmate tried their best for the ranking. This was a victory accumulated bit by bit, a victory that belonged entirely to the class.

According to the exam rules, the white group classes, namely Class B and Class C, will have 50 class points deducted as punishment. In addition, Class A, which ranks first, will receive 50 class points, Class D, which ranks third, will have 100 class points deducted, and Class C, which ranks fourth, will have class points deducted.

The current class points are as follows:

Class A: 1480 CP.

Class B: 942 CP.

Class C: 249 CP.

Class D: 43 CP.

The gap between classes has further widened, and each class shows a gap like a fault. It is a long and arduous journey to achieve class promotion.

As for the individual points and scores awarded for the competition rankings, they are better than nothing for Class A, which has nearly 50 million individual points, so we will not go into details.

……

The sun slowly sank below the horizon, the sky was gradually dyed with orange-red sunset, and the wind blowing from afar also brought a hint of coolness.

After a day of intense exercise, all the students in the class were very tired, so Ichinose arranged the usual celebration party to be held a few days later. After the sports festival ended, the students went home to have a good rest.

"Hey, Miss Horikita, you're all alone. Do you want me to carry you back?"

Uesugi Gen leaned against the wall and spoke in a pretentiously deep voice.

Uesugi Gen, who had originally returned to the dormitory, discovered based on the location that Horikita Suzune was moving at a snail's pace on the map. Knowing Horikita Suzune's character well, Uesugi Gen flashed to Horikita Suzune's location at the speed of light based on the location on his mobile phone, and sure enough, he found that this stubborn girl was limping back to the dormitory.

Horikita Suzune rolled her eyes at Uesugi Gen, "You idiot, how could there be someone else around me?"

"So you're planning on going back to the dorm by yourself like this? At the rate you're going, you probably won't make it before dark."

Uesugi Gen said with a bit of amusement.

"I just hurt my leg, I'm not lame. The doctor said I'll be able to walk normally in a week."

Horikita Suzune said this as she slowly moved towards the dormitory.

The corners of Uesugi Gen's mouth twitched slightly. He suspected that Horikita Suzune was hinting at someone.

However, this time, Uesugi Gen had no intention of forcibly carrying Horikita Suzune away. On the one hand, this girl didn't care about other people's opinions of her, and on the other hand, she was very thin-skinned. If he forced her to carry him on his back, it would probably not be as simple as leaving two red marks on his back like today. He suspected that this girl would use him as a sandbag to practice various fighting skills such as Taekwondo and Jeet Kune Do that she learned from his brother.

So, Uesugi Gen slowed down his pace and walked with Horikita Suzune on the school road.

"that……"

Horikita Suzune lowered her head, and the evening sunlight slanted down on her pretty face, making this cold beauty look uniquely beautiful.

"Thank you."

"Ha~ Speak louder, I can't hear you."

Uesugi Gen placed his palms to his ears in a magnified position and approached Horikita Suzune who lowered her head.

"#!"

Miss Horikita's fists hardened. This guy was really infuriating!

"Haha, it's just a joke. After all, Miss Horikita is quite cute when she's angry."

When he thought of the contrasting look of this usually serious and cold girl who was always upset by him, Uesugi Gen felt like committing suicide.

"However, I have a question I would like to ask Ms. Horikita."

Uesugi Gen put away his playful smile and looked into Horikita Suzune's cold eyes.

"If Horikita Manabu and I were to compete again, who would you hope would win?"

Uesugi Gen's gaze was deep and gentle, as if he could see directly into people's hearts through his eyes.

Horikita Suzune's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason, her face felt slightly hot under the setting sun, and she unconsciously turned her head to look to the side.

"Of course I hope that my brother will win."

"Yeah."

Uesugi Gen withdrew his gaze and spoke in a tone that did not sound sad at all.

“I feel a little sad.”

Chapter 141 Why are you still here?

Girls' dormitory, Horikita Suzune's room.

Horikita Suzune pulled out a hospitality cup from the kitchen counter. Though she hated to admit it, this cup was practically Uesugi Gen's. She poured hot tea into it and placed it in front of Uesugi Gen.

Horikita Suzune glanced at Uesugi Gen and found him half-lying on the sofa, leisurely reading his copy of The Brothers Karamazov. She then lowered her head to look at her sprained foot...

This scene reminded her of a novel she had read... A seriously ill wife dragged her heavy body to do housework every day, while her unscrupulous husband was addicted to vulgar books and ignored his wife.

No, why would she have such thoughts? Horikita Suzune tried to clear her mind. Uesugi Gen was not her husband, and she was not his wife. "The Brothers Karamazov" was not a cliché book.

As an independent woman who strives to accomplish everything on her own, marriage is not an option in Horikita Suzune's future plans.

Uesugi Gen, holding a book in one hand, slowly picked up the tea in front of him, blew on it lightly, took a sip, and glanced at Horikita Suzune who was still standing next to him.

"Why are you still here?"

"#!"

It is confirmed that Uesugi Gen is not the husband, but he is very unscrupulous.

Resisting the urge to smash the tray in her hand on his head, Horikita Suzune squeezed out a few words: "This is my room!"

"I know, so you can go do something else and don't worry about me."

Uesugi Gen continued to speak shamelessly.

Big fire!

This man has been getting more and more demanding since he hugged her today, so Horikita Suzune decided to teach him a lesson so that he would remember it.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, let's sit together."

At this moment, Uesugi Gen changed the subject, moved his butt to the side, and reached out to grab Horikita Suzune.

Horikita Suzune, who was attacked by Uesugi Gen, was caught off guard and screamed: "What are you doing!"

The bright light from the white woven lamp cast the overlapping shadows of the two people on the wall. The larger shadow domineeringly occupied the space of the smaller shadow, forcing it into the corner of the sofa.

Horikita Suzune was very angry now. She was attacked by this guy twice in a day. She wanted to take out her own exclusive weapon, the compass, to let Uesugi Gen taste the pain and regret, and the despair and regret. However, she had just finished taking a shower and her weapon fell on the desk, so she could only twist his flesh with her hands.

Unfortunately, Uesugi Gen's attention was not on this at all. Horikita Suzune, who had just finished taking a shower, had wet hair and a fragrance of bamboo and mint emanated from her body, which made Uesugi Gen wonder if she had been pickled because she had been in the shower for too long.

"Let's get down to business."

Uesugi Gen nudged Horikita Suzune's shoulder, "You should have an idea who the spy in your class is."

"So this is your real purpose."

Horikita Suzune turned to look at Uesugi Gen, "How did you know I guessed who the spy was?"
