I have a life simulator.

Therefore, Nan Yunya was quite confident. According to the intelligence he had collected privately and the information submitted by Long Yuanxiang, the best high jump result in Class B of the first year seemed to be only about 1.4 meters. Although it was already considered outstanding among its peers, it was not enough compared with the sports ace of Class A of the second year.

[Hiragawa Takuto, the 2nd-grade A class high jump competitor, is in position.]

This second-year sports star seemed to be quite famous in the class. As soon as he appeared, Class 2-A greeted him with enthusiastic cheers and applause. Pinghe himself smiled and waved, looking confident of victory.

But his smile quickly froze on his face.

[Kitagawa Hotaru, a participant in the high jump event for Class B, Grade 1, is ready.]

A cat walked out from the formation of Class 1B.

Yes, it's a cat.

It even tilted its head and licked its paws, making the girls present starry-eyed with cuteness.

[Class 1-B requests the referee to adjust the height of the railing to 2.2 meters]

"Meow."

The white figure nimbly flipped over.

There was dead silence.

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Firefly? Victory!

Hirakawa Takuto immediately knelt down on the scorching hot track, ignoring the dust and gravel that covered his knees and calves.

When he was eight years old, his father told him about the Olympic spirit of "higher, faster, stronger," and from that day on, he was determined to become a professional athlete.

In the days that followed, whether in success or failure, in tears or sweat, nothing could defeat Hiragawa Takuto again. Those who defeated him only made him stronger.

until……

Why is there a cat here?!

He pointed to the white creature that easily leaped over the railing, pounced on the cushion, and rolled around in the air.

"Referee, where's the referee?"

"This is cheating!"

"What kind of farce is this at the sports festival? What are the staff doing?"

The students of Class 2-A were also jolted back to their senses by Hiragawa Takuto's roar, and for a moment they shouted at the school staff standing to the side with overwhelming force.

"I'm sorry, Kitagawa Hotaru from Class 1-B has the student status of this school, and her participation procedures were completely compliant, so her results are recognized."

The school staff explained calmly and firmly, and seeing that the students in Class 2-A still seemed dissatisfied, they quickly cut off any room for negotiation:

"All matters concerning this sports festival were confirmed by the school before the festival began."

His meaning was simple: he was just an employee, and if there were any problems, he should go to the school to report them; arguing with him was useless.

Just as Hirakawa Takuto was about to say something, Nagumo Masaya on the other side finally recovered and gave Hirakawa Takuto instructions through her earpiece:

"We lost this round, you should concede first to conserve your energy."

Although he tried his best to remain calm, Hiragawa Takuto could still detect the suppressed anger in Nagumo Masa's voice. After all, being tricked like this at the school's sports festival was a blow to Nagumo Masa, who was about to take over as student council president.

Just a month ago, he mocked Kitagawa Ryo for spending 20 million personal points to get a student status for a cat, but unexpectedly, a month later, Class 2-A was defeated by a cat.

"Yes."

Hiragawa Takuto knew his efforts were now futile if he could jump higher than 2.2 meters today...

There's no point in making assumptions about something that's simply impossible.

With Hirakawa Takuto's abandonment, the local broadcasts quickly reported the situation:

Class B of Grade 1 defeated Class A of Grade 2 in the high jump and currently leads by one to zero.

[Next, we will move on to the second item: free fighting]

[Both command towers please confirm the participating players.]

【Confirmation completed】

Both participating players are requested to proceed to their designated areas and take their positions.

[Ishizaki Daichi, a contestant from Class 1-B, is ready.]

[Class 2A! Class 2A contestants, please proceed to the center of the field immediately!]

Nan Yunya asked into the headset with a somewhat grim expression. Pinghe Takuto was also sweating profusely with anxiety. He should have handed the headset to Xiaoshishan Wu, the contestant for the second event, at this moment, but when he turned around, he found that Xiaoshishan Wu, who was selected to participate in this "free fighting" event, had disappeared without a trace.

Has anyone seen him?

Hiragawa Takuto eagerly asked his classmates in Class 2-A behind him:

Give him a call!

Nan Yunya quickly gave the instructions.

"I've tried, but I can't get through!"

Hiragawa Takuto responded with a wry smile, but all he heard from the other end of his phone was an electronic voice indicating that no one was answering. They had lost contact with their own students.

"Send someone to look for it!"

Nan Yunya's face was also ashen. There was no way to spend 100,000 points to call up a temporary substitute for this kind of individual event. This was also to prevent a class from using points to replace the temporary substitutes of other classes for all events. If someone is absent from an individual event, it is considered a failure.

However, unexpectedly, the first to be caught in the trap of this rule was Class 2-A themselves.

Are all the guys in Class 2-A a bunch of cowards?

"You don't dare to fight me?"

Ishizaki Daichi, a contestant from Class 2-A, who had not yet appeared, also mocked them without any politeness.

The remaining students in Class B of the first year also burst into laughter at the opportune moment. These delinquents were really good at cursing, and soon the students from Class A of the second year who stayed behind turned red in the face, wishing they could devour these uncivilized guys.

"Hey, you're not planning to just admit defeat, are you?"

Ishizaki Daichi continued to draw aggro, and although he looked like he deserved to be hit, he was actually a little worried himself.

Kitagawa Ryo had no intention of winning all seven matches. The second match, "Kickboxing," which was to be fought by Ishizaki Daichi, was actually a sport that was abandoned as a lower-ranking event. Ishizaki Daichi's task was only to see if he could interfere with the opponent's contestant, and he did not need to fight with all his might.

All we need to do is use them as a bargaining chip to replace a strong student in Class A of the second year, so that the plan for Class B in the following year can be implemented more effectively.

Therefore, not only Class 2-A, but even Class 1-B themselves were wondering:

What about people?

Information leaks are always a two-way street. In the past week, Class 2-A has received a steady stream of information from Ryuen Sho, from selected projects to possible participant lists, from seeded players in each project to Kitagawa Ryo's possible tactics and strategies.

As a dedicated "traitor," Ryuen Sho would even occasionally reveal some rather secretive inside information, such as that Ishizaki Daichi, a fighter participating in "free fighting," would go to a quiet corner on campus every night after training to practice his physical fitness a little longer.

In this way, Class 2-A will be smoothly led by Ryuen Sho, and additional personnel will be sent to probe for intelligence to verify the information.

Ryuen Sho's information was undoubtedly accurate, and Ishizaki Daichi was indeed seen practicing alone there by students from Class 2-A.

If you were to find someone in Class 2-A who is most concerned about Ishizaki Daichi's techniques, stamina, strengths and weaknesses, and the stability of his lower body, it would definitely be someone who was arranged by Nagumo Masaru to be Ishizaki Daichi's opponent.

Using this counterintuitive logic, Ryuen Sho easily used Ishizaki Daichi's information as bait to lure out the participants from Class 2-A for this event.

Once the identity is verified, the remaining task is to investigate the other party's movements, eating habits, and daily routine.

As the one assigned by Nangumo Masaru to fight against Ishizaki Daichi, Shikayama Satoru is also a standard muscular strongman. Ryuen Sho estimated that if they really fought, Ishizaki Daichi probably wouldn't last more than a few minutes. However, compared to his rugged appearance, he buys a fixed bento box for breakfast every morning after his run.

So Ryuen Sho scouted the area in advance and bought all the similar bento boxes on the day of the sports festival, keeping only one that he had prepared in advance.

then……

Long Yuanxiang looked at the man who was fast asleep in front of him, skillfully put him into a burlap sack, and dragged him along the route he had planned beforehand to the nearest public toilet, where he threw him into a stall.

The only surveillance camera on this road had been painted black beforehand, so there would be no way to obtain evidence even if it was investigated later. Before the other party could investigate, Long Yuanxiang had already turned himself in to the student council, and the final punishment was only a cleaning fee of eight thousand points.

After all, this was a plan of action with the least risk that Long Yuanxiang had obtained after spending class points and testing the school's monitoring rules dozens of times at the beginning of the semester.

When was the surveillance camera covered? How long was it covered? How much was it covered? Was it intentional or unintentional? Did the person turn themselves in? Or was it discovered?

Long Yuanxiang kicked the sack at his feet.

He doesn't really have the ability to solve the problem, but he only needs to deal with the person who raised the problem.

[The Class 2A contestant failed to arrive at the venue at the designated time; Class 2A is therefore ruled the loser in this round of "Kickboxing".]

[Class 1B defeated Class 2A in the kickboxing event, and currently leads 2-0]

As time went by, Nan Yunya's heart sank to the bottom. Finally, after the countdown ended, Class 2-A suffered another defeat.

Currently trailing 0-2, they are practically on the brink of elimination.

[The third event will follow: Women's 2000m Steeplechase]

[Both command towers please confirm the participating players.]

“Qi, it’s your turn to enter the stage.”

Nan Yunya finally changed his previous strategy. After two consecutive defeats, he realized Long Yuanxiang's betrayal, which forced him to make a temporary change of tactics.

Because they were trailing 0-2 again, in the end, Nagumo Masako chose to believe in her childhood friend Asahina Nazuna, whom she had known since elementary school.

"Ya, leave it to me."

Wearing sportswear, Asahina Nagisa stretched her body as she answered. Although she did have some dislikes for Nagumo Masaru and sometimes thought that she should make him suffer a big fall, they were childhood friends after all. Faced with Nagumo Masaru's indirect plea for help, Asahina Nagisa naturally did not show any emotion and responded quite decisively.

【Confirmation completed】

Both participating players are requested to proceed to their designated areas and take their positions.

[Ibuki Mio, a contestant from Class 1-B, is ready to participate]

[Asahina Nazuna, a contestant from Class 2-A, is ready to participate]

"Oh, I didn't expect that this troublesome project was picked by your class."

Although she had just appeared confident in front of Nagumo Masaru, she was still inevitably shocked when Asahina Nazuna actually walked into the prepared area.

The entire 2,000-meter course is filled with various obstacles. There seems to be a cardboard box placed at the 1,000-meter mark, which is probably the "borrowed item race" section described in the rules. When you reach that point, you need to draw a slip of paper from the box, then retrieve the item specified on the slip from outside the track, and carry the item to run another 500 meters. It's more of an entertainment event.

At the 1800-meter mark, a loaf of bread is suspended. This is the "bread-grabbing race" section in the rules. Runners who reach this section need to jump up and grab the bread with their mouths before they can continue running.

When Asahina Nazuna first noticed this program on the list published by the school, she prayed she wouldn't be involved, but...

"What? Don't you dare anymore?"

Wearing light sportswear, Ibuki Mio looked quite refreshing and dashing. As the girl with the strongest physical abilities in Class 1-B, she was not a discarded pawn like Ishizaki Daichi, but rather someone who pursued victory.

"We're sure to win this time."

After a brief moment of surprise, Asahina Nazuna quickly regained her composure and responded with unwavering confidence.

The verbal contest between the two did not last long, as the referee soon came over.

Each team got into their starting positions, and as the students from both classes held their breath in anticipation, the referee fired the starting gun.

Nan Yunya stared intently at the situation on the big screen. If they lost this match, even if Class 2A won all four remaining matches, it would only be a Pyrrhic victory. After all, it would be too humiliating for a prestigious Class 2A to fight a first-year student to the very last game.

Therefore, we must win this game.

As Asahina Nagisa's childhood friend, Nagumo Masaru was naturally aware of her physical abilities. Moreover, as a second-year student, he had the advantage of developing for an extra year. Unlike the inexplicable events of the first two rounds, he was absolutely confident that he could win a real contest of physical prowess!

Sure enough, in the first kilometer of the course, Asahina Nagisa easily outmaneuvered Ibuki Mio by about ten meters.

The cheers and shouts of encouragement from Class 2-A echoed across the playground, and even Nan Yunya couldn't help but smile.

The opponent only won the first two rounds by using tricks; in a real match...

In the scene, Asahina Nazuna's figure suddenly stopped. She had run to the 1,000-meter "borrowing race" section and was starting to draw slips of paper from a box placed there.

However, after drawing three cards in a row, it seemed a bit difficult, and he could only keep drawing new ones.

"What are you doing?"

Nan Yunya asked into her earpiece.

"I can't help it, Ya. The ones I drew are [the girl I like the most in class], [the boy I hate the most in class], and [the student I admire the most in class]."

Asahina Nazuna responded quickly, her tone tinged with distress and helplessness:

"Leaving aside how these people were selected, I simply cannot carry a classmate on my back for 500 meters."

"There should be other small items in the box. I'll check again."

During this time, Ibuki Mio quickly closed the distance between the two. Asahi Nazuna pulled out the fifth slip of paper with a bitter face, Ibuki Mio also took the first slip of paper and rushed out of the field, running into her class's formation. It seems that she has decided on the item for the "borrowing race".
