Chapter 223: Haruka and Airi's Great Victory!
"Hikigaya, why did you lie to me?" Ayanokouji Kiyotaka remained expressionless as usual.
"I was just making a joke. I didn't expect you to actually believe it.
But then again, does Ayanokouji-kun lack the basic common sense of a normal person?" Hikigaya struggled to suppress his laughter.
"I am a normal person." Ayanokouji was still being stubborn.
"Clown Boy, let's end this farcical performance here."
Koenji Rokusuke mocked him: "You've been holding back on purpose during regular exams, but this method of hiding is truly painful to watch."
"Yeah, it's a good thing I didn't say 10kg." Hikigaya looked like he was about to burst: "Otherwise, Ayanokouji would be cosplaying as a primary schooler."
At this point, stubbornness was pointless; Ayanokouji Kiyotaka decided that silence was golden.
It was Hikigaya's turn to test his grip. 76.1kg. Hikigaya secured a result that placed him second in the class rankings.
Truly clever camouflage is always a mix of truth and lies.
"76.1kg. What a coincidence, Fish-eye Boy." Koenji Rokusuke had matched him down to the decimal point, clearly doing it just to annoy him.
"The two of you really have a twisted sense of humor." Hirata Yousuke frowned; he truly disliked these two unsociable outliers. Then, giving it his all, Hirata squeezed out a result of 82kg, narrowly surpassing Sudo Ken to become the focus of the class!
Afterward, there were various tests: lung capacity, pull-ups, standing long jump, and more.
"The statistics are complete." The PE teacher waved the clipboard in his hand.
"Next, you will decide amongst yourselves how to allocate the participants for each event."
"Please leave it to me, teacher." Hirata Yousuke stepped forward to take the forms. He turned around and addressed Class D: "For the sake of fairness, I will assign the events based on your physical test levels. Do any of you have an objection?"
"Eh? Isn't it supposed to be free registration?"
Someone complained in a low voice. However, under the weight of Hirata's newfound assertiveness, they could only comply obediently.
Horikita Suzune, meanwhile, had her brows knit tight, clearly dissatisfied with his arbitrary decision-making.
"Hachiman, don't you have any thoughts of your own?"
"What thoughts could I have?"
Hikigaya looked indifferent. If possible, he didn't want to participate in a single event.
Unfortunately, the sports festival rules dictated that everyone must participate in at least nine events. It was easier to just let Hirata handle the arrangements. While Hirata's personality was currently leaning toward the extreme, he was at least trustworthy when it came to fairness.
Individual events: Shot put, triple jump, 1000m sprint, sit-ups, and so on... Hikigaya was assigned to events requiring heavy physical labor.
However, this didn't really matter; even someone with peak stamina couldn't realistically take top spots in nine different events.
One had to choose where to focus.
Simply put, this sports festival wasn't just about athletic ability, but also a test of the students' "resource allocation" skills.
Team events: Two-legged race, cavalry battle. According to Hirata's strategy, team events were specifically for students with poor grades or low stamina to prevent them from falling into the bottom ten of the grade. They used a "Strong + Weak" pairing system. Hikigaya was assigned as the "Strong" one.
To be honest, Hikigaya wasn't the type of "good person" who enjoyed helping others. He wouldn't be happy about selflessly helping a stranger. Hirata seemed to have considered this, as he specifically assigned Hikigaya a familiar partner.
"Yeah! Airi, this is our great victory!" Hasabe Haruka happily hugged Sakura Airi.
The two of them were Hikigaya's partners for the two-legged race and the cavalry battle, respectively.
"Hachiman-kun, please take good care of me~" Sakura Airi looked delighted.
"..." Hikigaya was truly speechless.
'Tch! Hmph!' Several sounds of teeth-grinding annoyance came from behind him, but he pretended not to hear them.

After school.
"Hachiman, Airi, let's practice together~~"
"There are still two weeks until the sports festival. Is there really a need to practice so early?"
"No, this is an important exam!"
'Since when did you care so much about exams?'
Hikigaya was too tired to argue and let her drag him toward the sports field.
"Oh right, I forgot the leg straps!
I'll head to the equipment room. Airi, you practice the cavalry battle with Hachiman first~~" Hasabe Haruka shot Airi a meaningful look.
"Mhm~"
'Thank you, Haruka! I'll make sure to seize this opportunity.'
Sakura Airi looked up at Hikigaya for a moment before quickly lowering her head, her cheeks turning visibly red.
'Is this kid a steam engine?'
"Uh, shall we give it a try?" Hikigaya squatted down.
Sakura Airi took small, shuffling steps behind him and carefully straddled her legs over Hikigaya's shoulders, sitting down. Hikigaya gripped her lower legs. He had to admit, the texture of black over-the-knee socks was truly excellent!
Fortunately, he had undergone high-intensity "training" in his dreams; otherwise, he might have been "raising the flag" right now.
"Sit tight, Airi." Hikigaya gave her a reminder and then stood up.
"Kya!" As her feet left the ground, the sudden weightlessness caused Sakura Airi to reflexively squeeze her legs tight.
"Ngh?!" Hikigaya's cheeks were squeezed painfully.
He couldn't understand—Airi, who had barely passed the grip strength test, had such immense power in her legs! The pressure felt like it exceeded 60kg!
"Mmph~ Ai... Airi, let... go..." Hikigaya's face was distorted by the pressure, and he had to reach up and pat her thigh.
"Eh...?! S-sorry!!" Sakura Airi realized what was happening and hurriedly let go, her face flushed with shame.
"It's fine..." Hikigaya's face was bright red—in the physical sense.
He adjusted his holding position and said with slight surprise: "Airi, you're lighter than I expected."
"Muu~ Did Hachiman-kun think I was heavy?" Sakura Airi puffed out her cheeks.
"No, I didn't mean it like that. It's just that logically, with your 'F'... ahem!"
Hikigaya suddenly realized his words were inappropriate and shut his mouth.
"F... F...?!" Sakura Airi looked down, her vision partially blocked by her own figure.
How could she not know what he was referring to?
She couldn't help but reach out and gently tap his head, letting out a soft huff.
"Hachiman-kun~ H!"

COTE: I've become a substitute
Mikage Touji transmigrated in the world of Classroom of the Elite with no explanation and entered the class 1-A, well at least he as a cool power even if a bit weak for now.
Until Ayanokouji Atsuomi asked him: "Is this you?" referring to a photo of Kyotaka.
"How could I possibly be that gloomy guy in there?!"
"Drop these useless excuses, Kiyotaka. Did you think that by changing your name and getting plastic surgery, you could escape my control?
Your enrollment materials are completely fabricated; not a single person can prove you ever existed. Furthermore, the timing of your appearance completely coincides with the time and place of Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's disappearance. And you're still saying you aren't Ayanokouji Kiyotaka?"
"Pfft..." It turns out that when people are truly speechless, they really do laugh.
"If you're looking to cause trouble, take a left out the door and find a police station. And another thing..." Mikage Toji helplessly spread his hands. "The one you are looking for is Ayanokouji Kiyotaka. What does that have to do with me, Mikage Toji?"
[Harem - No Ayanokouji - Sakayanagi Arisu in class D.
