The next morning.
The first branch of competition, relay race, officially began.
This sports festival itself was scheduled to last four days.
Ryunosuke's side sent male representatives consisting of Ayanokouji, Hirata, Albert, and Ishizaki as the opening team.
On the other side, Class B and Class A sent Ryuji, Kohei, Hashimoto, and one unknown Class B member.
The relay race soon began.
Ryunosuke's side had a clear advantage; Albert's explosive power was extraordinary, and Ishizaki wasn't bad either. Not to mention Hirata who was almost all-round, and Ayanokouji who hid his strength.
Ayanokouji only needed to be a bit serious to lead his team to win the championship in this match.
Next was the women's relay.
Ryunosuke turned to the other competition area and was instantly shocked.
The reason was, the class leader next door, Asuna, went down directly to compete. Ryunosuke didn't know how great her strength was, he just hoped her strength wasn't as extreme as in the game...
Ryunosuke's team sent Yukino, Ibuki, Suzune, and Kushida.
He knew Yukino's stamina was poor, but because this was a 4x100 meter relay divided among four people, each only ran 100 meters, so it wasn't a problem.
Meanwhile, Class A and B's representatives were Himeno, Masumi, and class leader Honami, with Asuna as the last runner (anchor). On the opponent's side, the last runner was Suzune who had the best stamina.
Suzune had no glaring weaknesses, but compared to Yukino's explosive power, she was slightly behind. But she had high endurance.
Different from Yukino who might run out of breath upon reaching the finish line. Because of their respective advantages, Ryunosuke appointed Suzune as the closing runner and Yukino as the opener.
The same thing was done by the opponent by appointing Himeno as the opener.
As soon as the whistle blew, both immediately grabbed the relay baton and ran fast.
Surprisingly, Himeno was able to keep pace with Yukino without falling behind at all. The reason was her petite body made wind resistance much smaller. The most important point was her A+ chest size, so the burden on her shoulders was lighter. Plus she was indeed an athletic type girl, so she didn't immediately lose badly.
Even so, she still couldn't defeat Yukino.
Because Yukino's chest was flat, which meant her wind resistance was zero. How could she win against her?
Ryunosuke fantasized in his heart while giving ridiculous assessments of the two.
In the middle of the track, Yukino and Himeno suddenly furrowed their brows together; they felt there was someone talking badly about them.
The culprit, Ryunosuke, was currently still busy wildly imagining in his mind.
The first round soon bore fruit. Yukino was ahead. But even though she won, she looked exhausted and out of breath, really needing mineral water.
At that moment, Ryunosuke alertly offered a bottle of mineral water to Yukino while saying:
"Good job. Thank you for your hard work."
Yukino didn't reply to his words, she just took the bottle while muttering "Thank you", then started drinking.
Ryunosuke tried to place a towel on her head to help wipe sweat, but Yukino immediately prevented it.
"I can do it myself!"
Yukino grabbed that towel. She was clearly wary of strange men approaching her. Because she had been very beautiful since childhood, all men who approached her usually had certain intentions. She believed the man before her was the same.
Moreover, this man's reputation at school wasn't good. Rumors said he had more than one girlfriend and was often seen with other class leaders or different women.
In outsiders' eyes, Ryunosuke was almost no different from Nagumo, he was even called "Tyrant" because of his violent way of uniting the class some time ago.
Seeing her reaction, Ryunosuke just shrugged without saying anything more and continued monitoring the match.
Because Yukino provided a distance advantage in the first round, the pressure on the second runner, Kushida, was reduced. Her opponent in the second round was Honami.
Honami received the baton from Himeno and immediately ran without further ado. Meanwhile, Ryunosuke analyzed the situation again.
(As Ichinose whose body proportions are quite 'full', her wind resistance is clearly the greatest. Both legs, waist, even her Oppai are far bigger than Kushida's! So the result is already clear, Kushida will win...)
But before Ryunosuke's fantasy finished, Honami actually managed to catch up with Kushida.
Ryunosuke's pupils widened, he spontaneously stood up from his seat.
(This is impossible! It doesn't make sense...)
Ryunosuke felt something was off, he immediately asked Yukino beside him.
"Yukino-chan! Your memory is good, right? Do you remember if Ichinose is an athlete?"
Because the earlier words were only Ryunosuke's inner voice, Yukino didn't know what he was thinking. She furrowed her brows and replied irritably:
"Don't call me Yukino-chan. What do you mean adding '-chan'? Are we that close?"
"Don't worry about such small details, quickly tell me~" Ryunosuke said indifferently.
Yukino sighed. "I have no relationship with you, don't act as if we're close."
Although saying so, she still provided detailed information about Honami.
"Ichinose-san's academic ability is B+, intelligence A, assessment ability B, and her athletic ability is weak, namely C."
"C?" Ryunosuke confusedly pointed toward Honami who had just overtaken Kushida on the field.
"You say her athletic ability is weak? You're joking with me."
Yukino showed a displeased expression. "If you don't believe it, fine!"
She then flipped her beautiful long black hair and just left, clearly angry.
Ryunosuke felt confused. Yukino's information should be correct, but then what actually happened?
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
On Class A's side.
Ryuji showed a satisfied expression. All this was already expected, or more precisely, the result already predicted by Hachiman.
Hachiman had previously bought information from seniors and knew this sports festival content early.
Because of that, they helped Honami whose physique was weak to do special training for half a month. Honami now was in her strongest condition.
Ryuji patted Hachiman's shoulder and praised him. "You're pretty good thinking to buy information from senpai to predict exam content."
"More precisely just the outline content..." Hachiman refuted softly. "Because the exam content is definitely different, but the direction remains the same, namely sports festival. The rest is easy to guess, at most just those sports branches, just focus on the training."
Hachiman said it as if it was a very natural thing. Ryuji felt very lucky to be able to pull this person to his side; at least they wouldn't lack strategists.
Thanks to half a month of hard training, Honami finally reaped results and managed to surpass Kushida. Even the small advantage made by Yukino earlier disappeared instantly.
Kushida's face became dark, she was already on the verge of her "dark mode". If it weren't for many people watching, she would have already exploded.
Honami gave the relay baton to Masumi.
Masumi received it and immediately ran fast. Following behind was Ibuki who received the baton from Kushida while mocking:
"You're too slow! To be overtaken like that, really useless."
Kushida's face became even darker, she almost couldn't stand to explode right then and there.
Seeing Kushida showing signs of exploding, Ryunosuke immediately approached her, laughed awkwardly, and led her away while giving a message to Ibuki:
"I'll leave the rest to you. Those leg muscles of yours didn't grow in vain, right?"
Ibuki clenched her fist. "Noisy! Sometime fight me again, I won't lose next time."
"Forget about next time, run quickly!!!" Ryunosuke shouted irritably while pointing toward Masumi who had already run quite far.
"Damn, it seems in our team you're the fastest runner, hurry up!"
Ibuki didn't argue, she immediately spurred her running. The dust flying due to her running speed immediately made Ryunosuke choke.
"Cough cough, what is this, a polar sandstorm? So suffocating!"
He waved the dust with his hand and walked away with Kushida.
Kushida's face looked gloomy, she seemed unable to hold back from exploding anymore. She took a deep breath, turned toward Ryunosuke, and said with a forced smile.
"Akasaka-kun~, can you be my punching bag? I seem unable to hold back anymore."
Ryunosuke "😐"
"Uh, how about waiting until the match is over? I'll accompany you to vent emotions privately..."
"Don't want to~, I can't hold back anymore." Kushida said with hands behind her back while smiling sweetly.
However, Ryunosuke felt that smile was very terrifying...
