After returning to the classroom, Kamio Tatsuya started talking to Ryuen to discuss the overall project.
"What do you plan to do about the upcoming competition?"
Besides the recommended projects, there are nine projects that everyone must participate in.
The 100-meter race, the 110-meter hurdles, the girls' ball-throwing contest, the mixed-gender tug-of-war, the obstacle course, the three-legged race, the cavalry battle, and the final 200-meter race.
Except for the pole-toppling competition for boys, the mixed-gender tug-of-war, and the cavalry battle, which don't need to be divided into groups and require everyone to participate together, all other projects need to be done in groups.
Faced with Kamio Tatsuya's question, Ryuen thought for a moment, then took out his phone and showed it to Kamio Tatsuya.
[Let's make a deal. I'll provide you with Class D's entry list, and you help me teach Horikita Suzune a lesson.]
"You didn't actually believe that, did you?"
Kamio Tatsuya was speechless. You clearly said you didn't believe it this morning.
"Whether I believe it or not is another matter. I plan to wait until they provide me with Class D's entry list before making any plans. Until then, let these guys practice on their own."
Ryuen glanced at the still-excited Class C students.
"Also, there are 21 boys in Class C, so there will be one extra for the three-legged race." Kamio Tatsuya also brought this up. "Think about who should drop out. Of course, it's okay if I drop out."
"Heh, then I'll have to trouble you."
Ryuen happily accepted Kamio Tatsuya's suggestion.
Kamio Tatsuya understood this.
For the people in Class C, Kamio Tatsuya is, after all, an outsider. Everyone isn't familiar with him, so it wouldn't be good to have someone else drop out just for Kamio Tatsuya.
However, Ryuen didn't plan to really not use Kamio Tatsuya, this useful pawn.
He planned to have a student in Class C who wasn't good at sports voluntarily give up their spot.
And Kamio Tatsuya was thinking about the idea that had suddenly come to him.
Until the entry list can no longer be changed, finding out the athletic abilities of students in other classes and the order in which they're participating, and then adjusting the order of participation based on that information, is what every class needs to do.
However, the entry list for Class D doesn't need to be worried about. Once they decide, Kamio Tatsuya can naturally get it quickly.
Leaving Karuizawa behind as a pawn in Class D was really a great move.
But he also needs to figure out who sent that message to Ryuen.
Could it be Kushida?
Kamio Tatsuya took out his phone and wanted to send a message to Kushida directly to ask.
No, never mind. All he has to do is wait for the anonymous person to send Class D's entry list and then compare it with the entry list sent by Karuizawa.
It's not the time to think about these things yet.
After school, Kamio Tatsuya went to the student council office.
"Good afternoon, president."
But as soon as he finished greeting, Horikita Manabu picked up Kamio Tatsuya's work from yesterday and threw it over.
"The work isn't up to standard. Redo it."
What the heck?
"Where isn't it up to standard? You have to give me a reason."
Kamio Tatsuya didn't want to redo everything from scratch. That would be stupid, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with his work.
"Horikita Manabu's glasses... This is your idea, isn't it?"
Tsk, it's that after all.
"Yeah, it's the 'borrow something' race. Anyway, the president will definitely be there, right?"
"Change it."
"It's not like it's something that doesn't exist, and it's a sports festival, so let everyone have some fun." Kamio Tatsuya definitely wouldn't change it.
"That's right, president. And there's only one slip of paper like that, so it's not certain that anyone will draw it." Tachibana Akane on the side also started to help.
Hmm!
She doesn't want to participate in the "borrow something" race and then draw that, does she?
The corner of Horikita Manabu's mouth twitched, and then he agreed to Tachibana Akane.
Heh, if I say something, it's no good, but if she says it, you don't object. You really spoil her!
The time in the student council was boring. At 5 p.m., Horikita Manabu stood up from his seat.
"President, are you going to the gym?"
Horikita Manabu goes to the school's gym every day at 5 p.m. when he has time. It's not a secret.
And the reason Kamio Tatsuya asked this question was naturally because he had something to ask for.
In May of last year, Kamio Tatsuya had witnessed Horikita Manabu being violent towards Ayanokouji.
Although they didn't end up fighting, Horikita Manabu's ferocity and aggressive attacks left a very deep impression on Kamio Tatsuya.
Not just Horikita Manabu, but also Ayanokouji, who said he had practiced calligraphy and piano, easily dodged Horikita Manabu's tricky attacks.
And since Kamio Tatsuya is now in Class C, if he argues with Ryuen about something someday, according to Ryuen's personality, he might just start a fight.
Don't think it's impossible. That guy is really capable of doing that.
So, Kamio Tatsuya felt it was necessary to learn how to fight for self-defense.
Moreover, he finally got a good body from the system, wouldn't it be a waste not to work out?
"That's right. What, are you also interested in working out?"
A strange smile appeared on Horikita Manabu's face.
Seeing Horikita Manabu's smile, Kamio Tatsuya felt a chill. Dude, don't smile like that, it's making me nervous.
"Uh, recently I've felt that this school is a bit dangerous, so I'm planning to learn something for self-defense."
After giving Kamio Tatsuya a meaningful look, Horikita Manabu agreed.
"Pack your things and come with me."
Soon after, Horikita Manabu brought Kamio Tatsuya to a very large gym in Keyaki Mall Shopping Center.
Then... Horikita Manabu used points to rent a private room.
"You should have noticed during this sports festival that students' physical data is actually a kind of key information, so the gym also provides this kind of private space."
Horikita Manabu explained to Kamio Tatsuya as they walked.
Then, he took out a set of exercise clothes from the cabinet in the room and handed it to Kamio Tatsuya.
"Since you came to me specifically, that means you don't just want to casually work out, right?"
Looking at the exercise clothes in the other person's hand, Kamio Tatsuya nodded and took them.
After changing into the exercise clothes, Horikita Manabu warmed up a bit.
"Let me test your skills first."
Hey, president, you can't hide your excitement. What did I do to you?
"Please!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Horikita Manabu punched Kamio Tatsuya's shoulder.
So slow...
Kamio Tatsuya instinctively bent over and dodged, then he saw Horikita Manabu's sly smile.
Next, Horikita Manabu's other hand reached for Kamio Tatsuya.
This speed was much faster than before.
But Kamio Tatsuya's speed had already reached the theoretical limit of humans in this world.
So, he was still able to dodge it relatively easily.
Seeing Kamio Tatsuya's movements, the curve of Horikita Manabu's mouth grew wider and wider.
"Interesting."
And Horikita Manabu's speed became faster and faster, so fast that Kamio Tatsuya almost couldn't keep up. After a dozen moves, Kamio Tatsuya was finally getting more and more disheveled.
It felt like, even though his speed was faster than the other person's, the other person's attacks didn't give him a chance to use his power.
Horikita Manabu could always guess his next move.
Although he had tried to counterattack, Horikita Manabu easily dodged every time.
Instead, he made himself look a bit messy.
No, system, is this value fake?
This is the limit of human speed?
Embarrassing!
"I'm going to get serious."
Horikita Manabu's reminder made Kamio Tatsuya angry. So, you were playing with me just now.
A burst of anger rose from Kamio Tatsuya's stomach.
Faced with Horikita Manabu's next punch, he simply didn't dodge and directly used a strategy of trading injury for injury, punching at Horikita Manabu.
However, this idea of his was still predicted by Horikita Manabu. The other person not only clearly dodged his straight punch, but also punched him on the shoulder.
It didn't hurt much, but it made him lose his balance briefly.
Then, Horikita Manabu raised his right leg and hit Kamio Tatsuya's upper body with a side kick.
Kamio Tatsuya, who had just stabilized his body, saw the leg close to him and immediately realized that he couldn't dodge it.
So, he directly raised his left arm, clenched his fist, and blocked the blow.
Kamio Tatsuya used the force to roll on the ground to dissipate the force, then quickly created distance and looked at Horikita Manabu opposite with a wary expression.
"Alright, your ability exceeds my expectations."
During the exchange just now, although Kamio Tatsuya was made to look messy by Horikita Manabu, Horikita Manabu was actually very surprised, and even broke out in a cold sweat from that last attack.
He could say that he had used his full strength just now, but he only managed to gain a little advantage when Kamio Tatsuya lost his cool at the end.
If Kamio Tatsuya only wanted to dodge, he probably wouldn't have been able to do anything.
This person is a genius!
His speed exceeds mine by a lot. If I didn't have a lot of experience, I probably wouldn't have been able to touch him today!
Now, as long as he goes through systematic training, surpassing me will definitely be easy!
Horikita Manabu made a conclusion about Kamio Tatsuya in his heart.
"It seems you haven't fought before, and you haven't had systematic training."
Kamio Tatsuya was speechless. That's obvious, as a good citizen, who fights all the time?
"But your physical fitness is very good. Not only are your body movements good, but also your reaction speed is impressive. Many times, you made dodging movements just as I started attacking."
Of course!
"However, your dodging movements are too big, making it easy for me to predict your next movement through your actions. This needs to be corrected."
Kamio Tatsuya nodded helplessly, because he was scared of getting hit.
"Besides these, there's also a very important thing." Horikita Manabu pushed up his glasses. "You lost your cool at the end.
Staying calm allows you to carefully analyze the situation. Getting angry won't turn you into a Super Saiyan, it will only deform your movements and let your opponent seize the opportunity."
Wait, President, you also watch Dragon Ball?
But Kamio Tatsuya also admitted what Horikita Manabu had just said.
But after being beaten down for so long, even a mud figure would get angry, right?
Alas, this is what people call helpless rage.
Sure enough, I'm still far behind.
"Thank you for your guidance."
"You're welcome." Horikita Manabu replied calmly, "I have ranks in both Aikido and Karate. Which one do you want to learn?"
Kamio Tatsuya thought for a moment and then chose Karate.
Kamio Tatsuya didn't know much about Karate. He only knew that its original name was "Tang Hand," created from ancient martial arts and Chinese boxing techniques introduced to Japan five hundred years ago.
However, Kamio Tatsuya didn't value these things much. Fighting is, after all, a contest of strength and speed.
And moves are what allow people to more easily use their strength and speed, and to become more familiar with their bodies.
Simply put, it's a technique for generating power and a technique for using various parts of the body.
As long as he could do these things, Kamio Tatsuya felt that he could enter the ranks of martial arts masters, at least he could beat Ryuen senseless when he went berserk.
"I understand. Come here every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and I'll guide you for an hour."
"Thank you." Kamio Tatsuya nodded with satisfaction. "Is there anything I need to do to repay you?"
Horikita Manabu glanced at Kamio Tatsuya, then shook his head.
"Not yet."
Looking at Horikita Manabu's expression, Kamio Tatsuya began to speculate maliciously: The president probably hopes that I won't use what I learn from him on his sister.
