Classroom Of The Elite 2nd Year - Full Volume
Chapter 5 chapter 7

"Rear rider!" From Sudou's position, he yelled at us, and when he did, Horikita who was around him, hit the ball from Ichinose back and flew in a more favorable direction.

The game had just begun, but this was already the place where Sudou made his decision. For Sudou, who possessed extraordinary strength, there were quite a number of girls who were unable to accept his attack. Kanzaki and Shibata continued to hold him back, but the first and the second, Sudou had superior techniques and strength. That was why they were both forced to make a defense.

The only strategy Class B could take now was to not let Sudou have his freedom. Or not giving Sudou the ball. On the other hand, Class D, both Horikita and Kushida have good defensive strength and physical ability on average. The player who draws. On the other hand, including me, Ike and Yamauchi are already the weakest players.

"Gyaa--! Sorry!"

Instead of making a bluff and servicing the ball landing nearby, Yamauchi eventually let Class B earn points. Every time he attacked, Sudou's frustration grew and he clicked his tongue. How else because most of them are after us.

.

"Calm down, Sudou-kun. You've done your best. Better not move around recklessly"

"But .. if we lose because of these useless people, it will all be for nothing" Sudou replied.

Despite voicing dissatisfaction, Sudou returned to his position. Maybe Ike was irritated by that attitude. When Sudou could not see him anymore, he flipped his middle finger at Sudou. Seeing that, Yamauchi also turned his middle finger.

"Oi, Haruki. the death penalty for you later”

"Gyaa--!" But unfortunately, Sudou finally looked back towards Yamauchi. Moreover, because of the enemy's route, after the match resumed, the ball coming from the opponent once again flew towards Yamauchi.

"T-can't be !?" In the water, he was useless and under Sudou's pressure, Yamauchi couldn't catch up to him.

"GaboGabo!"

.

"Damn it, it's so sad when women are on the more useful side, don't you think so?"

Sudou who had a strong presence in athletics, took out a punch, making our hearts hollow like that. No one wants to look weak in front of women. But it doesn't mean anything. Just like how someone couldn't improve their intelligence overnight, right now, in this place, I can't improve my physical abilities.

The ball once again came down to my place. From my first feeling of failure and estimating the environment to its breaking point, I could estimate that.as long as I paid attention to the position of my arm and the rotation of the ball, hitting it back theoretically, was not a difficult thing to do.

I felt the ball slowly coming down from that spot. Then I actually hit him... But I didn't ignore Ichinose's gaze peeking from the enemy's side. I quickly realized that. I deliberately chose to receive the ball in a careless manner. I let my feet slip and finally fell in the pool.

"You're pathetic, Ayanokouji" I got back up from the water, Ike kept coming back laughing at me.

"Even if it's horrible or whatever, as long as you hit it back, it doesn't matter. You did well!"

.

After I managed to throw the ball back up, standing near me, Sudou showed off a few jumps. I can't see that very well. A fierce attack. Throughout the game, it was almost he himself who moved up to half way around the pool. Although he had already used up enough stamina, he once again repeated the special attack with strength. I can't even see it. He was outstanding even for Class B who excelled in teamwork ability at the same or even superior level. Looking at Sudou, I decided to entertain myself for volleyball for a while.

"Hyabu. We lost. Lose telak"

As I exited the pool, Ichinose approached me in frustration and said that. Of course this is just a game, but there is also an unmistakable feeling that the feeling of not wanting to lose to the other side has come out. This is a Class D win in a row, winning 2 sets.

“Although almost completely we depend on Sudou-kun." Near Horikita who honestly praised him, Sudou looked satisfied. He might be happy to be praised by the girl he likes. This was even more meaningful because words came from Horikita who usually did not praise others.

"That's all because you're from the basketball club. There were some boys in our class who were also in the club. I've heard about you Sudou-kun. That you are the best of all first-year students" Ichinose said.

“Of course".

.

It seemed like he was known by the other classes and that was what was more important than anything. In this volleyball game, getting rid of the feeling, I wonder if it ends with a goal for one significant thing? This meant that Sudou's physical abilities that had been high from the start, were not inferior to those of the elite class. It's a big harvest. If physical ability becomes part of the test, Sudou will become a valuable weapon. On the other hand, looking from Ichinose's point of view, they had to mark it as a terrifying existence.

"If you guys don't push me, I won't be able to get a bigger win" Sudou said.

"Damn it, Sudou became even more arrogant just because he could do sports activities." Yamauchi who was already pat on the side of the pool, looked at Sudou with a frustrated expression. This is because after the game, he received Sudou's attack and was eliminated. In the end, filling the position of the three of us who were depending on him, must have been very difficult for him.

"well, as long as we win, it's not bad either. That means we can eat whatever we want for lunch" I guided Sudou's anger to the food. Let him eat more than the others. After all, Ichinose and the others will treat us.

"That's great. For those of us who are broke, it is something that will make a happiness"

.

It was a brazen attitude for Sudou to take, but obviously he made great merit in this match.

"So, there is nothing to do but to keep the promise. Can we have lunch now?" The right time. Hunger struck our stomachs at the same time. Ichinose and the others, Sudou and the others headed for the store. Horikita and I took our time a little while following them.

"Hey Ayanokouji-kun. You're not too bad at sports, are you? Even if you're just a beginner in volleyball, some of those moves are unnatural" he said. Some time ago, Horikita saw me go around with her brother (though not much) and already remembered the exchange.

"Ichinose's strange imprint on me is quite strong. Just an opinion."

"So you won't stretch out your hand. Now, the other classes would definitely lean on themselves to try to analyze the strength of Class D" He nodded as if convinced. Not long after, we arrived at the shop, Ichinose turned around and looked back.

"As promised, whatever you like, no matter the amount you want, you are free to eat anything" he said.

"All right! Then we won't hold back!"

.

"Aren't you the one who will bear all the costs?"

"Yes. I was the one who said that since the beginning of” That might be true, but this is the amount of burden that one fool cannot bear.

"Usually I save points, so everything will be fine.” listen strangely to Ichinose's quiet statement it seems to be Kushida.

"But Ichinose-san, you didn't spend a lot of points on your swimsuit? I know I can't compare ourselves to Class B, but it's almost hard"

"Hm. I'm not fixated on something like that, or you could say that it's because I don't buy unnecessary stuff. As long as I do it continuously, there is no problem. Ahaha, even though it might be a bit of a difficult statement for a girl."

"There's nothing like it. Not buying something unnecessary is a very beautiful thing, in my opinion" It might just be my misunderstanding but in any case, women care a lot about being fashionable. Kushida is the same. Horikita was still indifferent, but even she was still seen paying attention to her hair and clothes.

.

"In the end, it's all because I don't know when that's the place for me to use points." Ichinose said that. That means, rather than spending points to buy a piece of clothing, now, what he says holds more meaning.

"in that case, unconditionally I would also choose my choice" Horikita always ate a small portion, but as Class B traded, she became aggressive.

"ahahaha. Well, no problem. But it's not good to leave food, so please stop it” I'm not the same as Horikita, but I'm very interested in junk food. I'll choose my choice.

***

After the clock closed, Ichinose suggested to return before it was crowded and everyone agreed to him. While the others were preparing themselves, I quietly slipped out into the pool, waiting for my guest.

"Ah, I'm tired ......" Immediately, Karuizawa appeared hitting my back.

"Good work, how's the condition?"

.

"As you say. I'm so disgusted by that."

"Don't say that. You could call that a hot-blooded young man flying off a branch."

T/N: The hot blood can also be referred to as a bird. Karuizawa who was standing next to me, made a sound like vomiting then looked around her.

"So how? It's been a while since the last time you went to the pool?"

"Nothing, really. I don't really feel anything but ......" He checked the surroundings once again with worry.

"Although it's a lie, I'm still Hirata-kun's girlfriend. If I'd seen alone with you, strange rumors might have started to spread, you know."

"really? If I was as handsome as Hirata, although it was very sad to say, my presence was quite grim. We might look like one of the groups that came to play in the pool."

This is not a situation where boys and girls who are together will be something suspicious. It would be different if it happened at night, on a bench that is rarely visited. As long as it was crowded, it was easy to blend in.

By the way, Hirata acting like a girlfriend is a great place to visit the pool, but he may be busy with the club. I don't know about the practices of the football club, but from what I've heard, he's one of the active guys.

.

"We're allowed to wear a rash guard today. You've seen some here and there, haven't you?"

"Well, right. But are you okay with the money for this? Is that not expensive?"

"This is still a necessary expense." Karuizawa extended her hand, so I casually grabbed her. I felt a hard texture from something in my palm. The entire torment did not last more than a second.

"What are you planning?"

"What do you mean?"

"Why are you different from the others? You can enjoy the little happiness of your youth if you do, right?" I-i understand. So we moved the topic in the direction of what I was holding in my hand.

"First, I have to make sure that the class is not harmed at this time. Even if it was a small thing, this could lead to distrust of each other. That's what I want to avoid." That's why I called him here. Letting her enjoy the pool was also one of my goals.

"Did you bring someone else today?"

.

"It's just me now, there's two others, but I let them have fun."

"Good decision” I started walking to the poolside. He rushed after me.

"Do you want class A?"

"You're not interested?"

"Hmm, I don't know. Points are always the best to have and I would love to get a job, but ..." With his hands in his pockets, he kicked the air.

"I thought, I'm not too interested in fighting people from class C."

Splice....
