Since Ryunosuke helped Airi and Haruka reconcile last time, Haruka couldn't sleep soundly at home. She rolled back and forth on the bed, until finally throwing off the blanket and sitting upright.
"This is bad..."
Haruka touched her hot-feeling cheeks.
"My condition, this is bad!"
Haruka wasn't stupid, she knew exactly what was happening to her. Even before, when Airi hadn't said she liked Ryunosuke, she could already guess. Moreover, her mother was an expert in romance matters in the entertainment world.
Indirectly, Haruka inherited her mother's talent. Although her ability to seduce men was still immature, in reading situations and people's feelings, she was far better than her peers. Otherwise, how could she realize that Airi liked Ryunosuke.
Haruka sighed, intending to take a warm bath to calm herself. She turned on the shower, letting warm water wet her body. However, Ryunosuke's image kept imprinted in her mind. Especially the scene when that man accompanied her beside the vending machine when she was at her most desperate point.
*BANG!*
Haruka hit the bathroom wall with both hands. Warm steam enveloped her body. She panted, then looked at her reflection in the mirror showing an unnatural red tint on her cheeks.
"This is really bad..."
She knew very well, she had fallen in love. And unfortunately, she fell in love with her own best friend's boyfriend. Haruka hated herself like this, but her heartbeat couldn't stop racing fast.
"I'm done for..."
Haruka sat listlessly in the bathroom; she no longer knew what to do...
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
Time passed quickly until arriving in October.
Meaning, this was the sixth month since they entered school, and they began stepping into the seventh month.
This activity exam was the Sports Festival.
Basically there weren't many material benefits that could be gained, because the winning class would only get 50 class points, while the loser would be deducted 100 points.
Ryunosuke realized that upcoming exams would involve small amounts of points like this. There would be no more sudden wealth like during the ship exam the other day...
"Haaah..."
He sighed. Making money was truly getting harder.
Meanwhile, their homeroom teacher, Chabashira Sae, was at the podium explaining the rules of this exam.
The rules were simple: divided into two groups, Red and White. In short, two classes had to work together to fight two other classes.
At the same time, they had to choose one class from the senior level to cooperate with.
Ryunosuke of course chose Horikita Manabu's Class 3-A. While Arisu was forced to choose Nagumo Miyabi's Class 2-A.
This sports festival included various branches: running, long jump, high jump, relay race, to tennis, basketball, chess, and various other small sports.
Almost all fields were developed to dig up students' talents. Through this special exam, the school wanted to find excellent seeds.
As for individual competitions, winners could get 5,000 personal points.
How to say it? Although as small as a mosquito's leg it's still meat, but this meat was so small that even using a microscope it might not be visible. Ryunosuke truly had no motivation.
The sports festival would soon begin, and other classes began to prepare.
Different from the original story, Class C (original D) chose to cooperate with Class D (original C), the reason being the leaders of both classes knew each other.
That's right, meaning Ryunosuke and Hiyori.
Since his last action, Ryunosuke had successfully occupied the leader position by violent means. Hirata didn't mind because the other party had saved Airi from school expulsion.
Hirata was very grateful and willing to become an assistant and loyal follower of Ryunosuke.
He controlled almost half the students in class, plus 5 people from Kei's side. This already gave dominating power of more than half the votes, already enough.
Currently, Ryunosuke still thought Hirata and Kei were dating, he hadn't yet realized the fact that they had already broken up.
Although Ryunosuke wasn't interested in this sports festival exam, he could use this opportunity to observe the strength of the new transfer students. And that was the result he wanted.
Because he couldn't rake in a lot of money, he'd better spend time seeing how far the abilities of Asuna, Hachiman, and Yukino extended.
On the other side, Class A also chose to cooperate with Class B.
Actually Honami wanted to cooperate with Class C (Ryunosuke's side), unfortunately she was too slow and was forced to choose Class B. Currently, the leaders of both classes were sitting together formulating strategy.
Hachiman stood on Honami's right side, acting as her right hand to give advice and strategy, while on the left side was Ryuji. Even Himeno stood behind with crossed arms blowing bubble gum, clearly also helping Honami.
Now Honami, with the help of the "Grand Master" (Hachiman), had intelligence not inferior to Arisu.
Even if Arisu wanted to do dirty tricks, that would immediately be noticed by the perceptive Hachiman. Plus, Himeno wasn't an ordinary person either. Class A now was the most united class in history, very great power and worthy of bearing the name Class A.
Arisu sat calmly across from them. On her right side sat a girl, namely Yuuki Asuna.
The two of them led Class B together, acting as dual leaders, that's why Asuna sat there.
Asuna herself felt helpless; she was forced to rise to that position. She herself had no desire to become a leader, unfortunately the people below her wouldn't listen.
Like a king who didn't want to rule the world and only wanted to guard his own field, but his followers forced and pushed him to become a king ruling the world.
Asuna's situation now was exactly like that, she was "hung" in the leader position by force. She preferred playing games at home rather than getting involved in this troublesome matter.
Kohei had also become her right hand on the left side, while on the right side was her best friend, Misumi. Since Asuna stepped in to save his subordinate, Yahiko, Kohei voluntarily became the right hand and devoted himself to Asuna.
Compared to being loyal to the cruel girl Arisu, Kohei preferred serving the humane and generous Asuna.
Plus, half the class indeed supported her, and Kohei supported Asuna as leader. This was what caused the current two-leader system.
Asuna could only cover her face with her hand. She felt like being trapped into becoming a leader, even though this wasn't what she wanted. She came to this school to avoid her parents and just wanted to play games.
Why did the situation become like this?
