I have a life simulator.

As the student with the most girlfriends and ambiguous relationships in the entire Tokyo Advanced Educational High School, Kitagawa Ryo's affairs had already spread among the upperclassmen. Kiryuin Fuuka naturally knew about this, which is why she made such a teasing remark.

"Everyone's watching."

Kitagawa Ryo was already used to such teasing, so he answered in the same way without batting an eye, but he still took the initiative to change the subject:

"Girl Guilongyuan has already won several first places, while I've already won four in a row. Don't let me leave you behind too soon."

"Heh, the second-grade events are a bit slower than your first-grade events. Right now, we've only won three in a row: the 100 meters, the hurdles, and just now we won the obstacle course. We lost the tug-of-war, but there's nothing we can do about it."

At this point, Kiryuin Fuka casually sat down next to Kitagawa Ryo, and said with a helpless tone:

"It's impossible for me to beat more than a dozen people by myself. Some students in my class simply didn't intend to win. It was the 100-meter dash, the hurdles, the obstacle course just now, and there was even one who kept following me and calling my name, trying to trick me into turning around and getting distracted."

"Is that so? But didn't Nagumo consider that if he targets his senior like this, even if he wins in the end, people will say that his victory is unfair?"

"Nan Yun shouldn't have anything to do with this. Although he does have some personality issues, he wouldn't be this blatant. If you ask me, it's probably half of the work done by Nan Yun's female fans. If it were the guys, there probably wouldn't be so much trouble."

Kiryuin Kaede crossed her legs, her well-toned calves outlined in tight-fitting sports pants, showcasing a strong and powerful curve that perfectly embodied the phrase "tall and long-legged."

"As for the other half of the reason, it is undoubtedly Kiriyama's own idea. Maybe he is lying to both sides at the same time as before. I don't know what the point is. He is so indecisive."

Although Kiryuin Kaede's words were rather vague, Kitagawa Ryo understood what she meant. After all, Kiriyama's little tricks were within their expectations from the beginning. Just as Kiryuin had just summarized, the student council vice president was still wavering between completely siding with Nagumo and wanting to bring him down.

As far as Kitagawa Ryo knew, the vice president of Kiriyama had already secretly contacted those students who were dissatisfied with Nagumo's rule over the second-year students, and had them impersonate Nagumo's side to target Kiryuin Fuuka in various ways during the sports festival. If something happened, it would be Nagumo's doing; if nothing happened, it would be that Nagumo's victory was unfair, and it would always damage the other side's reputation.

"However, this was all a scenario I had anticipated. After all, it was already considered excessive. As long as I can win first place in all the individual events, and Nagumo fails to win the last mixed relay race for all grades, my score will still be higher than his."

After venting all her negative emotions, Kiryuin Fuuka looked much more relaxed. She casually swung her arm and gestured with her chin towards Nagumo Masashi, who was competing in an obstacle course in the distance.

“He didn’t sign up for all the projects like you did, Kitagawa. It seems he’s determined to save his energy for the last project.”

No matter how much you ask other students to go easy on you, participating in sports competitions will always take a toll on your energy. Besides, in front of the whole school, Nan Yunya couldn't possibly just stroll around leisurely on those track and field events. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to retaliate if someone from another grade told her, "Student council president Nan Yunya achieved an outstanding result of three minutes in the 400-meter race at the second-year sports festival."

Therefore, Nan Yunya, who cares a lot about her image, not only has to win, but she has to win beautifully.

Under these circumstances, the 3,000-meter and 5,000-meter races that required a huge amount of physical exertion were naturally put aside by Nan Yunya. After all, no matter how good his physique was, he really couldn't run all day to compete against the top first-year and third-year students at the end of the sports festival and guarantee victory. Moreover, that was the competition he valued the most.

However, Kiryuin Kaede obviously didn't have this burden. After all, just like the tug-of-war that had just ended, the last relay race of Class 2-B couldn't be saved by her alone. So she simply signed up for all the individual events before that.

"Everyone has their own considerations. After all, you, Senior Guilongyuan, have to win first place in all the individual events first."

Although he was talking to Kiryuin Kaede next to him, Kitagawa Ryo's gaze remained fixed on the situation in the arena the whole time, as if he was trying to find something.

Following Kitagawa Ryo's gaze, Kiryuin Kaede glanced at the horse-riding battle arena ahead. She didn't really know these first-year girls, but suddenly spoke up with a playful tone:

"Speaking of which, before the betting channel officially closed yesterday, it seems that more than three million personal points were deposited into the total prize pool of this project. About one and a half million were bet on the Red Group to win, and another one and a half million were bet on the White Group."

"Well, it seems that the first 1.5 million was most likely bet by the girl from Class C who bet on herself and lost. As for the second 1.5 million, it's uncertain."

Kitagawa Ryo's gaze kept shifting between Ichinose Honami, Karuizawa Megumi, Sakayanagi Arisu, and Amasawa Ichika in the arena. After these few minutes of entanglement, all the groups in Class 1-C except for Shiina Hiyori had been eliminated from the arena. The remaining members of the White Group were the three groups from Class B and Shiina Hiyori's group. The Red Group of the AD Alliance still had six groups left.

The only group eliminated from Class 1-B was the group with Horikita Suzune as the rider. After all, the four members of their group didn't get along very well, so their teamwork wasn't exactly smooth. Plus, they were interfered with by Kitagawa Ryo, so it seemed like there was really nothing they could do.

However, considering that the next event is a mixed-gender three-legged race, Lingyin is one of the earliest to prepare.

Among the remaining groups, the situation of Ichinose Honami and Sakura Airi's group didn't seem too optimistic either. The three horses under their feet were already panting heavily, and they kept adjusting the riders' posture with their hands, looking like they were already at their limit.

Because everyone's physical strength had reached its limit, everyone was desperately squeezing out the last bit of strength from their bodies, wanting to end the game in one fell swoop.

After eliminating Kikyo Kushida's team first, Ichika Amasawa and Arisu Sakayanagi desperately changed three more teams. In the end, Chiaki Matsushita, who was on the right side and had just finished hurdles and tug-of-war, suddenly lost her footing and the whole formation tilted to the right. She was ambushed by Masumi Kamuro from Class D and reluctantly withdrew from the competition.

Then, Kamuro Masumi took off Shiina Hiyori's headband from behind, who was still fighting Karuizawa Kei. Karuizawa Kei's headband was then taken off by Sakura Airi, who had defeated her opponent and was flanking from the side.

However, before the students supporting the White Team could cheer, Sakura Airi's team, whose stamina had reached its limit, was forced to stop after only a few steps. The three girls acting as horses announced their surrender while panting, and in the blink of an eye, only Kamuro Masumi's team and Ichinose Honami's team remained on the field.

With things having come to this point, the two groups of people bumped into each other in a chaotic manner, and the two riders seized the opportunity to reach out their hands towards each other's heads.

Karuizawa Kei, who was resting on the sidelines, clearly saw Ichinose Honami's hand reach for Kamuro Masumi's headscarf first. She had not placed any bets in this betting game. The more than 1.5 million points in the Red Team and the more than 1.5 million individual points in the White Team had nothing to do with her, so she was quite relaxed. She just secretly thought that the White Team should win.

But the next second, it was Ichinose Honami's headscarf that was removed.

This also signifies that the Red Team has won the final victory in the women's category of the horseback riding combat event.

However, some students in Class 1-D turned pale and became short of breath upon hearing this result. They were the ones who had secretly kept the points after receiving the loan from Nan Yunya and had not handed them over to Katsuragi Kohei. In this project, they had bet on the White Team, who were the opposing side, to win.

At first, everyone didn't bet much, but then suddenly someone placed an individual bet of over a million points on the red team's victory, and everyone got carried away and increased their bets.

Just as the second-year students were overly confident that Nan Yunya wouldn't lose, Class 1-D had no doubt about Tianze Yixia's strength in the girls' group. In fact, that was indeed the case. With her hard work, the final situation on the field should have been a perfect two-on-one situation for the white team.

But who could have imagined that Sakura Airi's group would withdraw from the competition so easily, and then Ichinose Honami would have her headband removed so easily, turning the promising situation upside down in an instant.

"I'm so sorry, everyone, thank you for your hard work. I really apologize for my mistake."

Ichinose Honami, looking exhausted, dismounted from the girls' backs. Then, she mustered her strength to comfort the other groups of girls one by one. This made the girls in Class B, who were also somewhat disappointed by the reversal, unable to utter any words of blame. The three girls from Sakura Airi's group who were acting as horses kept apologizing, saying that if they had just held on a little longer, they might have won.

Although the situation calmed down, Kitagawa Ryo, who was observing from the nearby audience seats, still sensed a slight sense of unease.

It seems that the 1.5 million points bet on the Red Team were not entirely the work of the C-class students.

Kitagawa Ryo watched as Ichinose Honami smiled and offered words of encouragement to the other girls not far away, while tidying her slightly disheveled pink-gold hair, which had become a little messy because of this project. Finally, she pinned Ichinose Honami back with the hair clip that he knew all too well, the one he had given her. Kitagawa Ryo made this judgment in his mind.

Chapter 303: I've never felt happy about a three-legged race (4k5)

Without a moment's mourning for the White Team girls' defeat in the horseback battle event, the men's team immediately rushed to the battlefield.

The boys in Class 1B could only form four teams, just like the girls. The two extra spots that weren't needed were given to two boys in the class who were less athletic. In the end, the four riders selected, apart from Kitagawa Ryo, were all boys in the class who were relatively small and agile.

Takeru Sudo, Albert Yamada, and others were quite self-aware and volunteered to be the horses, since few boys could carry them as riders. Therefore, in the end, they joined forces with Akito Miyake, who was close to them and had good physical fitness, to form the Galactic Battleship of Class B with Ryo Kitagawa.

Compared to the girls' group, which was so lax that it was almost indistinguishable from a fixed match, the boys' group of Class C, thanks to Long Yuanxiang's personal presence, did not dare to openly rebel against the Heavenly Gang. After joining forces with Class B, they went straight to face the Red Group of the AD Alliance.

But a few minutes before the match officially started, Kitagawa Ryo suddenly noticed that something was wrong with the players from Class D.

Because Class B and Class D have always trained together, they have practiced team projects such as horseback riding and combat many times, so both classes are very clear about each other's personnel configuration.

There are 21 boys in Class 1-D, so they can form five groups with one extra person. The one who was squeezed out is Totsuka Yahiko, who was scapegoated on the deserted island with the spy and the mole. But now he is seen warming up on the field, looking ready to go on the field.

"Wait, where's Sanada? How did he turn into Totsuka?"

Sudo Ken, who was standing next to him, also saw Totsuka Yahiko. After scanning the area, he immediately confirmed that the person missing was Sanada Yasushi from Class D.

"I heard that he was injured during the pole-climbing battle just now, and he won't be able to play in any of the subsequent matches, including this one. According to the rules of mounted warfare, it seems that the extra Totsuka should play, otherwise we should just give up on the group."

Miyake Akito, being more well-informed, quickly explained the situation, then smiled with relief.

"But this is also a good thing for our White Group. After all, Totsuka has never participated in horseback riding and fighting training. He's just filling in as a rider. We can just charge at him in a bit."

"Too."

Seeing that Miyake Akito's words made sense, the group didn't pay too much attention to this little incident. They quickly set up their formation as they usually did during training, adjusting their posture to a state where three people could bear the weight at the same time, saving the most energy. Then, at the referee's whistle, they charged at full speed towards Class D's camp.

Although the game of horseback fighting seems to give the rider the initiative, since only he has the right to reach out and remove other people's headscarves to score points, in reality, when the horse's strength becomes so terrifying that it almost crushes the opponent, the rider only needs to passively follow along and collect points.

Sudo Ken and Yamada Albert's explosive power is undeniable. Right from the start of the match, they directly overpowered a group of riders from Class D, causing them to lose their balance. Kitagawa Ryo easily snatched the headband from the unsteady rider.

However, the riders in the Red Team quickly saw the weakness of Kitagawa Ryo's team, with Miyake Akito on the left wing being slightly weaker. They quickly seized on this weakness and began to relentlessly attack. The constant collisions made Miyake Akito see stars and couldn't hold on, forcing Kitagawa Ryo to shift his focus and main attack direction to Sudo Ken on the right. Kitagawa Ryo seized another opportunity to remove the headband of the rider from Class D, reducing the pressure on Miyake Akito's team as much as possible.

If it were just a match between Class B and Class D, at this pace, the final result would still be the same as in regular training, with the former winning.

However, this is a two-on-two event after all, and in terms of teammates, the students in Class C are inferior to those in Class A in both individual ability and teamwork. They are almost like a disorganized mess, each fighting their own battle.

In a sense, this can be considered a lingering effect of the selection process before Kitagawa Ryo enrolled, since he had taken Yamada Albert, who originally belonged to Class C, into his own class, and now the physical education students in Class C are indeed not strong enough.

"Ryuen, you two deal with Class D!"

In this situation, Kitagawa Ryo decisively switched opponents, giving the already weakened D-class students to C-class, while he himself led the other B-class students to actively confront A-class.

"it is good."

Ryuen Sho knew that if things continued like this, before Class B could defeat Class D, all the lousy guys in his class would be wiped out by Class A. So he quickly agreed and had Ishizaki Daichi turn around and head straight for Totsuka Yahiko's group.

As everyone knows, no matter how miserable Ryuen Sho's situation was, his mouth was still as foul as ever. He immediately made two sarcastic remarks to Totsuka Yahiko, which angered Totsuka Yahiko, who was already in a bad mood. As if he had lost his mind, he ordered his three classmates to rush forward, but they were easily tricked and Ryuen Sho easily took away his headscarf.

After Totsuka Yahiko left, Katsuragi Kohei, who had just dealt with a group of Class C members, rushed over without stopping.

Although Katsuragi Kohei should have been the horse based on his physique, perhaps because it would be unsightly for him to ride on the head of the class leader, he was ultimately made the rider. Like Kitagawa Ryo, he was also ridden by an elite team consisting of Hirata Yosuke, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, and Hashimoto Masayoshi.

Taking advantage of the moment when the attack was abrupt, and just as Ryuen Sho had removed Totsuka Yahiko's headscarf, Katsuragi Kohei reached out and grabbed Ryuen Sho's headscarf, which had finally given in, with some difficulty. Then he desperately tried to pull the headscarf off by twisting his fingertips.

"Uh...uh!"

But the next second, Katsuragi Kohei let out a sound of resentment. Ryūen Sho's headscarf slipped between his fingers and finally slipped out of his hand.

"What are you doing, Katsuragi! I can't take it anymore!"

Seeing that Katsuragi Kohei had failed, Hashimoto Masayoshi also complained a bit. In the close combat just now, he had been tricked twice by Ishizaki Daichi, who was riding Ryuen Sho's horse. After all, Ishizaki Daichi had seen his little tricks on Ryuen Sho during the pole-breaking battle and naturally wanted to take the opportunity to retaliate.

"Sorry... my hand slipped!"

"Ha, all you can do is sneak attacks?"

When Katsuragi Kohei's first attack failed, Ryuen Sho immediately launched into a berserk taunting mode, throwing out all sorts of provocative remarks as if they were free. But every time Katsuragi Kohei rushed over again to try to snatch his headscarf, he always managed to nimbly dodge. Even when he finally managed to grab the edge of the headscarf, he couldn't pull it off no matter how hard he tried.

After several rounds, Hashimoto Masayoshi, who was the least physically fit among the three men acting as horses, began to tremble slightly in the knees and was panting heavily with sweat on his face.

"Katsura-kun, this can't go on. There are other projects."

Although Hirata Yosuke can hold on for now, as he said, the rounds of the sports festival come one after another, and if he continues to drag things out here, it will definitely affect the later matches.

"Okay, let's try one last time, or we'll give up if it doesn't work."

Upon hearing this, Katsuragi Kohei took several deep breaths, rubbed his palms together, and tried his best to focus his attention on Ryuen Sho's headscarf, but unconsciously shouted out again.

"Ayanokouji-san, please!"

After saying this, Katsuragi Kohei did not choose to continue attacking Hirata Yosuke's right flank as the main direction. Instead, he had Ayanokoji Kiyotaka use a sideways iron lean to knock down Komiya Yogo, who was under Ryuen Sho. Taking advantage of this golden opportunity, he once again reached out his hand:

"no problem!"

As Katsuragi Kohei excitedly spoke, his outstretched arm once again successfully grasped Ryuen Sho's headscarf, but before he could react, the headscarf slipped out of his hand again.

"Varied--!"

Because of a momentary lapse in judgment and a complacency stemming from a belief that victory was assured, Katsuragi Kohei's posture also became completely unguarded. Ryuen Sho seized this opportunity, grabbing Katsuragi Kohei's headscarf for the first time, and then forcefully pulling it off Katsuragi Kohei's shiny bald head.

As Katsuragi Kohei's bandana was raised high as a trophy by Ryuen Sho, the referee, noticing this, simultaneously issued a warning, demanding that his team immediately leave the field.

"What a pity."

After leaving behind that mocking remark, Ryuen Sho stopped looking at Katsuragi Kohei and his group, immediately turned around, and went to help Kitagawa Ryo without hesitation.

However, despite the accusation of helping, Kitagawa Ryo had already led the other students in Class B to handle the group from Class A quite well. Their training with Class D was indeed very effective, and most of the students had made progress in the month or so before the sports festival. Their overall quality had improved considerably compared to when they entered school, which made Kitagawa Ryo quite gratified.

Thus, unlike the girls' team's fierce battle that went down to the final one-on-one, the white team, after exchanging opponents, managed to defeat the red team with relative ease, thus redeeming themselves from the girls' defeat.

Temporarily ignoring the fact that after winning the match, Ryuen Sho immediately took off his headscarf, quietly crumpled it in his hands, and then stomped on it a few times in the sand, as if he wanted to destroy some evidence. Kitagawa Ryo had just finished high-fiving with the other classmates when Horikita Suzune, who had been waiting there early because she was eliminated quickly, took his hand and pulled him over.

After all, the next project is a mixed-gender three-legged race.

Understanding this, Kitagawa Ryo was led to the competition area by Horikita Suzune. Without saying a word, she took the leg binding straps from the referee next to her and squatted down next to Kitagawa Ryo like a little quail, concentrating on tying the straps and knotting them.

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy about losing the horseback battle just now?"

Seeing Horikita Suzune pursing her lips and looking somewhat worried, Kitagawa Ryo also squatted down, his head close to hers, shoulder to shoulder, and leg to leg, and began to whisper secrets between the two of them.

"Yeah, a little. If I had been able to coordinate better with the others back then, the White Team probably wouldn't have lost."

Horikita Suzune nodded. Her performance in the individual event was indeed outstanding, which made the loss in the horseback battle all the more regrettable.

Although she and Sakayanagi Arisu were always teased for being completely unsocial, Sakayanagi Arisu at least had Matsushita Chiaki as a friend in the class, who could be considered a good friend. Horikita Suzune's social circle, apart from Kitagawa Ryo's and the student council's, seemed to only consist of Ibuki Mio, whom she had only recently become somewhat familiar with because of the topic of cooking.

Kitagawa Ryo wasn't surprised by Horikita Suzune's current predicament. After all, he had always been clear about one fact: the four girls who had gone through the simulation were not going to be perfect people forever.

People encounter difficulties and troubles when they live in this world. Overcoming past weaknesses does not mean that these girls will not develop new ones. This is true of the secret competition between Karuizawa Megumi and Ichinose Honami over individual points at this sports festival, as is the case with Sakayanagi Arisu who wants to train her body to a normal level, and now Horikita Suzune is the same.

"The school festival is next month, and there will definitely be many occasions and opportunities for the class members to work together. If Suzune wants to make a change, she can try to use this as an opportunity."

After giving Horikita Suzune this suggestion, Kitagawa Ryo patted Suzune's shoulder encouragingly. The ties between their legs were already tied, so they stood up together and wiggled their tied legs back and forth to get used to it.

Meanwhile, students from other classes participating in the project gradually gathered around. Kitagawa Ryo glanced over and saw that the other three groups in their group were Kanzaki Ryuji & Shibata Hayate from Class A, Ishizaki Daichi & Komiya Yogo from Class C, and Morishita Ai & Kamuro Masumi from Class D.

Although the project states that it allows mixed genders, it seems that apart from him and Horikita Suzune, all the other partners are of the same sex.

This is understandable, since there is likely to be a height difference between boys and girls, and their centers of gravity are naturally different. This means that it will take a lot of time for the two to cooperate and get along, and it may be counterproductive.

Then, even if you find a boy and a girl of similar height, it will feel quite awkward if they are not close enough. The three-legged race is quite ambiguous and romantic, and there will definitely be physical contact between the two people. If you feel uncomfortable about this, you simply cannot cooperate.

Whenever students think that they can just let couples with good relationships participate, the upperclassmen will tell them about a couple from a previous year who lost a three-legged race due to a problem with their teamwork. As a result, they argued, and the conversation quickly veered towards the fact that their zodiac signs were incompatible and their compatibility was really bad. In the end, the girl said, "I've had enough, let's break up," which ended the legend of their relationship.

It is precisely for this reason that many senior students are quite interested in the pairing of Kitagawa Ryo and Horikita Suzune. In addition, some students have posted that they saw the two kissing while practicing on the playground. The attention this event has received is not low, and the individual points that have been bet on it are over a million.

Karuizawa Kei sat in the stands, resting her chin on her hand, watching Kitagawa Ryo and Horikita Suzune warm up near the starting line. The last time she saw a similar scene, Kitagawa was accompanied by Shiina Hiyori, and her partner was Horikita Suzune.

At that time, Kitagawa Ryo was in Class C, and she was in Class D.

At this time, Kitagawa Ryo was in Class D, and she went to Class B.

Thinking of this, Karuizawa Kei also lowered her eyes.
