I have a life simulator.

Hiyori Shiina immediately refuted Arisu Sakayanagi's statement.

"But your Class B doesn't have 20 million points to protect the command tower, so the risk is much greater than that of Class A and Class D."

Karuizawa Kei immediately retorted with sharp wit.

The three people's remarks actually made Ichinose Honami doubt herself. She looked left and right before confirming that they were not being sarcastic.

Instead of trying to avoid Class 2-A, they were eager to go head-to-head with them.

What's the point of this?

"Hiyori, please go to the convenience store to buy me a bag of salt and oyster sauce. I can't leave because there's food cooking in the pot."

Kitagawa Ryo opened the kitchen door a crack and poked his head out to speak into the living room.

"I'll go now."

"Kamuro should be nearby. I'll have her deliver it over there."

“I remember there are these in the kitchen of my room. I’ll go get them for Ryo.”

The three people answered almost simultaneously.

Honami Ichinose downed the glass of cold water in one gulp.

Okay, crime solved.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: A Cat?

The week before the sports festival, each class teacher from the three grades submitted their ten proposed sports events and participant lists to the school. After a day of verification and removal of duplicate events, the three grades submitted a total of fifty-eight different sports events that could be carried out on campus during the sports festival.

That very evening, the school publicly displayed these fifty-eight individual and group events, some normal and some bizarre. Among them were traditional sports such as the 100-meter dash, long jump, and high jump, as well as seemingly entertaining events such as tree climbing and hula hooping. Even more interesting was a two-kilometer obstacle course submitted by some class, which included a series of complex rules such as obstacle course races and bread-carrying races. However, there were no flaws in the entire race, so the school had no choice but to approve it.

The students could only pray that they wouldn't draw such an abstract project when they played against his class.

Fortunately, the school banned long-distance running or marathons exceeding 10,000 meters for this sports festival. Otherwise, the lower-level classes could have easily engaged in a war of attrition by setting all events to be long and physically demanding events. Even if they lost, they could drag the opponent's main players down with them.

Because the sports festival only lasts one day, events that take too long have been cut, and even events like soccer and basketball have had their durations shortened.

The reason for releasing this list is to allow all students participating in the sports festival to prepare in advance and understand the rules. After all, each class only submitted ten events and a list of participants. If an unfamiliar event is drawn on the day of the sports festival, the [Command Tower] will be responsible for the deployment of personnel.

From this perspective, it's possible that the commander might be more important than the tower.

Judo, Taekwondo, Karate, Kickboxing...

Nan Yunya looked at the list in her hand, a playful smile appearing on her lips, and asked the man in front of her:

"Putting everything else aside, at least the list you gave me before does match the list published by the school."

Long Yuanxiang put his hands in his pockets and snorted dismissively:

“I genuinely wanted to cooperate with you, so I wouldn’t lie about something like this.”

"It seems you really have a grudge against Kitagawa in your class, so much so that you're willing to betray the class to bring him down."

Nan Yunya placed the list on the table and leisurely leaned back in her recliner. The two of them were in the school's reception room, one of the few places in the school without surveillance cameras. If Nan Yunya weren't the vice president of the student council, she probably wouldn't have the authority to use this place.

"You don't really think that my relationship with Kitagawa is as harmonious as it seems, do you?"

Although there was a genuine leather sofa right next to him, Long Yuanxiang showed no intention of sitting down. He stood straight in front of Nan Yunya, maintaining a high level of tension and vigilance.

"You don't need to provoke me like that."

Nan Yunya shook her head and replied:

"Since I chose to invite you here, it means I definitely want to cooperate with you. Otherwise, you wouldn't even have the chance to meet me alone."

“I have already investigated the conflict between you and Kitagawa. In fact, you just didn’t fight him when school started.”

Nan Yunya smiled slightly:

"In terms of your contribution to the class this semester, you are no less than Beichuan, and you could even say that you have done a better job than him."

"The only time our design for Class B failed was due to bad luck. Who would have thought that a student from Class D would be taking pictures there?"

The incident involving Shibata from Class B was originally handled by the student council, so Ryuen Sho wasn't surprised that the other party knew so much detail.

"During the special exam on the deserted island, Ryuen, you took on the hardest and most tiring task. After the exam, everyone praised Kitagawa Ryo's design. If it were me, I would also feel dissatisfied."

Long Yuanxiang snorted coldly, neither directly affirming nor denying, but this attitude seemed to tacitly agree with Nan Yunya's statement.

"Then came the preferential treatment exam. Your class clearly had the ability to crush the remaining three classes in one fell swoop and achieve the feat of being promoted to Class A in the first semester of the first year. However, because of Kitagawa's idea, not only did you waste the accumulated contractual advantage, but you also ended up splitting 80 million points with Class A and Class D."

"What's even more tragic is that Kitagawa actually spent those 20 million points on a cat."

Upon hearing this, Long Yuanxiang also showed a resentful expression, with several veins even bulging on his forehead. He clenched his fists and whispered:

"Kitagawa is no longer qualified to lead Class B of the first year forward."

Nan Yunya nodded in agreement:

"Actually, I really admire Ryuen's abilities. How about joining the student council after this sports festival?"

"I will become the new student council president in October after the sports festival ends, which will leave a vice president position vacant."

Despite Nanono Masako's obvious attempt to recruit him, Ryuen Sho seemed rather uninterested.

"I only want Kitagawa to drop out of school. As for the student council and all that, it has nothing to do with me."

Nan Yunya smiled upon hearing this. He had only said it casually. After becoming the student council president, he would naturally place his own people in the student council. The so-called vacancy for the vice president position was just a test of Long Yuanxiang. If the other party really showed the willingness to take on the vice president position, he would think that Long Yuanxiang was not appreciative.

From Nan Yunya's perspective, Class 1-B's defeat in this sports festival was already inevitable, and Ryuen Sho's betrayal was just adding another chip to the already tilted scales.

"I will give you the seven projects that the class is most likely to select, along with a list of participants, in a couple of days."

"Actually, I can figure out most of it even without you teaching me."

Nan Yunya smiled confidently:

"Your Class 1-B is simply trying to take advantage of the delinquents in your class, their rich fighting experience, and the presence of the mixed-race giant Albert Yamada, intending to defeat your opponents in a head-on confrontation. But our Class 2-A is not just about excellent grades."

Her words revealed a strong sense of confidence, and Nan Yunya tilted her head to look at Long Yuanxiang:

"And they even dared to choose football as a team sport..."

"I don't believe that someone without this foundation can play the game properly within a month. It would be good enough if they could even understand the rules."

Nan Yunya disdainfully read out the three group projects submitted by Class B of the first year:

"Football, 30-man pole-climbing, and horseback warfare."

"I thought that Kitagawa, who was favored by that person, would come up with some new tricks, but it seems that's all there is to it."

If Kitagawa Ryo really came up with a new team event, Nagumo Masaru might take it more seriously. But aside from his best sport, soccer, pole vaulting and horseback riding are traditional sports festival events at Tokyo Advanced Educational High School. Their second-year class A had already competed in them last year, which was simply laughable.

"Anyway, all you need to do is defeat Kitagawa and make him drop out of school."

"This is only natural."

Long Yuanxiang looked up and exchanged a glance with Nan Yunya, then turned his back and walked out of the reception room.

"They're clearly first graders, and they need our help, but their attitude is incredibly arrogant."

Another student from Class 2-A emerged from the tea room of the reception area, holding a video camera in his hand, seemingly having been secretly filming.

"If that Dragon Garden were to act all obsequious, I would find it rather suspicious."

Nan Yunya shrugged and looked at the closed door, asking:

Do you think Longyuan's betrayal this time is real?

"The conflict between Ryuen and Kitagawa didn't just escalate in the last few days. In fact, their relationship was always one of victor and loser. Ryuen Sho isn't the type to be subservient to others, so I'm not surprised at all that someone like him would turn around and bite Kitagawa."

Mizowaki, the secretary who shared a position with Nagumo Masaru in the student council, asserted this.

"Actually, we need to be more careful when cooperating with this kind of person."

"I know."

Nan Yunya picked up the list from the table, folded it, put it in her pocket, and walked out of the reception room with Mizowaki.

-------------------------------------

Amidst mutual scheming and secret plotting, this most unique sports festival in nearly a decade has finally officially begun.

As we entered early October, the weather finally cooled down a bit, and occasionally a few yellowing leaves could be seen dancing in the wind, reminding us that the hot summer was coming to an end.

There were many adult spectators around the playground. They were all staff members of convenience stores and shopping malls throughout the school. Because the whole school was holding a sports festival today, they had a rare day off. In addition, this year's sports festival seemed to be much more interesting than in previous years, so most of the staff members chose to come to the scene as spectators.

When the students from each grade and class lined up to enter, the audience waved and shouted a few words in a very gracious manner. The students seemed quite excited and responded with smiles when they saw familiar faces.

To Kitagawa Ryo's surprise, the opening ceremony of the sports festival was given by another student from Class 3-A, a senior named Fujimaki, perhaps because Horikita Manabu was about to step down.

Looking around the playground, a complete medical team and treatment facilities were already in place. This year's sports festival was not only held on the playground, but also in a series of areas including the swimming pool, tennis courts, and basketball courts. The school mobilized twice as many manpower and resources as in previous years.

Standing at the front of Class 1-B, Kitagawa Ryo suddenly received a text message from his homeroom teacher, Sakagami Kazuma, instructing him to proceed to the multimedia classroom. At the same time, one person from each of the other classes also stepped forward, presumably all of them being "commanders" who had received the notification.

The four commanders of the first year are Arisu Sakayanagi, Ryo Kitagawa, Chihiro Shiranami, and Megumi Karuizawa.

Perhaps it was out of guilt towards the class that Chihiro Shirahami volunteered to take on the role of commander.

Kitagawa Ryo glanced at the other person, then greeted Sakayanagi Arisu beside him, and together they walked towards the multi-purpose classroom.

In fact, two days before the sports festival, they had already secretly gone to the multi-functional classroom in batches as commanders to receive training on the operation of the [command tower].

The selected commanders followed their class instructors to their designated locations, where each was assigned a computer. To facilitate their remote observation of the subtle situations on the field, the real-time footage was projected onto another large screen.

[The command towers for all classes are in place]

[Five seconds left to select an opponent]

To prevent potential chaos during opponent selection, the school ultimately opted for the Command Tower to select opponents on a computer.

Whoever is quickest gets the upper hand.

The last two groups automatically became opposing sides, which can be considered relatively fair.

As Kitagawa Ryo moved the mouse over the option for Class 2-A, he sighed. Just last month, the three of them in his room were arguing about this endlessly, but in the end, it all came down to luck.

[5, 4, 3, 2, 1]

Students in various classes far away on the playground also began to discuss nervously in hushed tones, praying that their class's commander could choose a suitable opponent to increase their chances of winning.

Within five seconds of the countdown ending, all the match results were announced and broadcast to the entire school:

[Class 3A vs. Class 3B]

[Class 3-C VS Class 2-C]

[Class 2D vs. Class 1C]

[Class 2B vs. Class 1D]

[Class D, Grade 3 VS Class A, Grade 1]

as well as.

[Class 2A vs. Class 1B]

"Please have the Commander of Class B, Year 1 confirm the seven items for the competition, which must include five individual items and two team items."

Listening to the broadcast through his headphones, Kitagawa Ryo suddenly whistled.

Good luck.

Meanwhile, Nan Yunya, the commander of Class 2-A, also looked very confident. After all, he had obtained the specific projects and participant list of Class 1-B from Long Yuanxiang a couple of days ago, and had also given special training in the relevant areas. Even if he couldn't guarantee victory in every small game, victory in the big games should be quite easy.

[Specific programs for Class B, Year 1 have been confirmed]

[The first item is now: High Jump]

[Both command towers please confirm the participating players.]

【Confirmation completed】

[Please proceed to the high jump area on the playground and take your positions.]

It was indeed the high jump.

Nan Yunya casually selected the classmate with the strongest high jump. Although this individual event is open to both men and women, boys obviously have an advantage in this aspect. Therefore, Class 2A also chose to send a boy to compete.

This boy named Pinghe jumped 1.53 meters in yesterday's test. It should be noted that the international standards for male high jump athletes in categories one, two, and three are two meters, 1.8 meters, and 1.6 meters, respectively.

A height of 1.53 meters is almost at the level of an international third-level athlete.

In fact, the other party is indeed developing in the direction of becoming a professional athlete.
