Kamio Tatsuya put down his bag, then took out the books he needed for the first class.
"Do you believe it?"
Kamio Tatsuya was talking about the message sent by the anonymous person, of course.
"Of course not." Ryuen smiled. "But whether it's true or not, don't you think it's interesting?"
That's really how it is.
From Ryuen's point of view, if the message and the later entry list are true, it means that there's a traitor in D class who doesn't want D class to win.
If it's fake, it means that someone in D class is challenging Ryuen.
Besides that, there's another possibility, which is to deliberately leak D class's entry order, then lure Ryuen to attack D class, and then catch Ryuen doing something wrong.
After all, everyone knows Ryuen's methods. They're just things like framing people and blaming others.
Which one could it be?
Kamio Tatsuya was curious too.
"Speaking of which, could this person be you?"
Kamio Tatsuya rolled his eyes at Ryuen's unkind look.
"I'm not that bored... Speaking of the sports festival, do you have any plans?"
"Didn't we say to look at the students' physical condition first in the class? Or do you have any special ideas?"
Ryuen was a little curious about what Kamio Tatsuya wanted to say.
Kamio Tatsuya was speechless looking at Ryuen. This guy really only looks at things right in front of him.
"There's one thing in the rules of the sports festival. After all the competitions are over, the school will add up the scores in each grade. I don't know about the other grades, but in the first year, the students with the last ten scores will have ten points taken off their test scores.
Why do you think the punishment is taking off ten points from the test score?"
Also, although the school said they would take off ten points, they didn't say how those ten points would be taken off.
Ryuen's mouth twitched. Of course he wasn't stupid, he just hadn't thought of it before.
"You mean, the next midterm exam isn't just a simple test, but a special exam?"
"That's right, otherwise there's no way to explain why the punishments are different for each grade. And since there's a punishment of taking off test points, it means the next test will probably be very difficult."
Sure enough, Ryuen looked troubled.
Ten test points...
He naturally doesn't care. He usually studies too. Although he doesn't get good grades, he scores a good bit higher than the passing line.
A mere ten points can't do anything to him, at least he won't be kicked out of school because of it.
Ryuen isn't worried about Ishizaki and the others either. Although they're not good at studying, they're good at sports. They won't end up in the last ten no matter what.
The key is those guys who are average in both academics and sports.
Are there people like that in C class?
There definitely are. For example, Kamio Tatsuya knows one of them.
Her name is Yabu Nanami, Manabe's friend, with long green hair, round eyes, and a slightly chubby figure. She looks honest, but she's actually very bossy.
On the ship, she and Manabe planned to bully Karuizawa together, but Kamio Tatsuya stopped them.
"Tsk!"
Ryuen clicked his tongue in annoyance.
Now that Kamio Tatsuya has brought up this problem, he has to face it.
There's only a month and a half left until the midterm exam. It's obviously impossible to improve her grades because the time is too short, and there are a lot of PE classes in the first month.
Also, if she could really improve her grades, she wouldn't be at that level after half a year.
So there's only one thing to do, don't let her end up in the bottom ten.
"I'll figure out a way to solve it. You don't have to worry about it."
Seeing Ryuen's reaction, Kamio Tatsuya smiled.
That's right, this is the right way to work together. What's D class? Kamio Tatsuya not only has to find the problems, but also come up with solutions.
The reason Kamio Tatsuya brought up this problem at this time is not because he's worried that someone in C class will drop out because of the next exam, but because he's preparing.
Just like Kamio Tatsuya told Ryuen yesterday, the simplest strategy is to bully the weak!
You have to be strong yourself to be successful. If you want to win for sure, you have to improve your basic strength.
The saying "build high walls, store plenty of food, and take your time to become king" is about this.
Next, Kamio Tatsuya plans to forcibly improve the abilities of the C class students. Otherwise, if they encounter an exam related to academics, they'll have to resort to sneaky tricks.
And the thing about sneaky tricks is that they're sneaky. Once they're discovered, the price to pay might be too much for C class to bear.
To avoid getting to that point, they must improve the overall quality of the C class students, which is like training soldiers.
If the overall quality of the soldiers is improved, it will be easier to deal with other classes.
But they still need a chance. Kamio Tatsuya thinks that chance won't be too far away. Maybe the next midterm exam will be a good opportunity.
Because of the sports festival, there are a lot more PE classes on the schedule. According to the new schedule, the second class in the afternoon is PE class.
Most of the C class students welcome this. Outdoor PE class is more exciting than studying in the boring classroom.
But before they can have free time, they must first practice getting in and out.
But now it's free time.
Like I said before, Ryuen plans to first understand the specific abilities of his class, such as running speed or strength.
"Ryuen, I borrowed some grip strength testers from the gym teacher." Soon, Ishizaki came over with two grip strength testers. "Albert, you show everyone."
The big black guy didn't refuse. He took one of the grip strength testers from Ishizaki, and then his expression became serious.
Then, his arm began to exert force and even started to shake. At the same time, the numbers on the grip strength tester began to jump wildly, eventually stopping at 95.4kg.
Damn, grip strength 95.4kg.
Are you really a teenager?
Not only Kamio Tatsuya, but also a group of onlookers were amazed.
"That's too ridiculous, right?"
"95kg! I feel like I'm probably not even half that."
"That's because you're too weak!"
But no matter what, it's amazing to have such strength in a freshman. Is it because he's black? It seems like there's a genetic advantage.
Also, I heard that Ryuen fought him before. He must have been beaten up a lot. I really want to ask him how it felt.
"What are you thinking about?"
"No, I just think that such a big fist must hurt a lot when it hits you, don't you think, Ryuen?"
Then Ryuen's face turned dark. If we weren't classmates, I would definitely let you taste this fist too.
The other boys immediately shut their mouths, afraid of being Ryuen's anger.
"Stop messing around, it's your turn."
Saying that, Ryuen took the grip strength tester from Yamada and threw it to Kamio Tatsuya. Looking at his expression, it seemed like he wanted to see Kamio Tatsuya make a fool of himself.
Kamio Tatsuya clicked his tongue, then took a deep breath, and then gripped the tester tightly.
But even so, the number stopped at 59kg.
The qualified range of grip strength for adult men is generally between 43.5 and 55kg. Kamio Tatsuya's current strength attribute is 4, the same as an average adult man.
So he's quite satisfied with his score of 59kg.
Looking at the number on the grip strength tester, Kamio Tatsuya looked at Ryuen provocatively.
"It's your turn."
"I didn't expect you to actually have some skill."
Ryuen smiled and took the grip strength tester from Kamio Tatsuya.
Ryuen is actually not as relaxed as he looks about Kamio Tatsuya's score.
He remembers that the first time Kamio Tatsuya appeared in his sight, he was just a small, weak guy about 1.6 meters tall.
As a result, this guy has grown taller than him in just a few months, and he's also so strong.
That's 59kg.
How much is Ryuen's?
Oh, the number is out, 61kg.
"It seems like I'm still stronger than you, hahaha."
It's just two more kilograms than me, why are you so happy? How childish!
"Give it back, I want to test again!"
…
After a round of testing, there are still quite a few strong guys in C class.
In addition to Yamada's leading 95kg, Ishizaki's grip strength is second, 65kg, and Komiya and Kondo from the basketball team also exceeded 60kg.
Kamio Tatsuya's 59kg isn't even in the top five.
With so many strong people, it seems like C class has a good advantage in the tug-of-war event.
But speaking of which, how much grip strength does Hirata have? He beat three people including Ishizaki at the same time.
And he beat them so badly that they could hardly fight back.
Soon, he had the answer, 57.9kg.
The facts prove that strength is not the only factor in being able to fight.
"In that case, let's decide on the people for the four-way tug-of-war first."
Kamio Tatsuya suggested. No one in C class objected to this.
The four-way tug-of-war is one of the four recommended events. Four students are chosen from each of the four classes, for a total of sixteen people, to pull the rope in four directions.
It's only natural to choose strong students to participate in this event.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Kamio Tatsuya felt that it was different from what he had imagined. He thought that the atmosphere in C class would be more depressing under Ryuen's high-pressure rule.
But it's surprisingly relaxed, even better than D class.
In addition to the four-way tug-of-war, the recommended events also include the mixed-gender two-person three-legged race, the whole-year 1200-meter relay race, and the scavenger hunt.
Kamio Tatsuya doesn't plan to participate in the mixed-gender two-person three-legged race for the time being.
The only girls in C class he's familiar with are Shiina and Ibuki.
Shiina herself isn't good at sports, so she probably won't participate in this event.
As for Ibuki... she seems to have some opinions about Kamio Tatsuya. She hasn't come to say hello since Kamio Tatsuya came to C class.
Tsk tsk, Ibuki, you're really not honest. Is it so hard to admit that I'm amazing?
As for the 1200-meter relay race, Kamio Tatsuya must participate. He wants to prove his strength there.
