Starting from the next lesson, for the preparation of the event, it was decided that we would practice independently. During our free hours, each and every student wears their sports uniform, that is, their t-shirts, and heads to the schoolyard.
"Uwa, hey look at that" Ike, with an indifferent look on his face, stared at the school building. And there, from the classroom, was a student peering towards us. And not just one but a large number of disciples could be seen.
"That's Class B, right? They're doing surveillance right away..." To know the physical capabilities of another class before a sports festival is something that must be on someone else's checklist.
"Class A next to them also sees us"
Regardless of whether we are enemies or allies, to understand our abilities is not a bad thing for them. If we do this in a flashy place like a school yard, being a spectacle is a natural thing. However, even if we hold ourselves here so that our abilities cannot be seen, in the end it will mean that the opportunity for us to train for the sake of the actual event will decrease.
.
"Starting from the bat."
Horikita, who had finished changing clothes, seemed to have also noticed a curious look. But what worries me is Class C. Although there were signs of their existence inside their classroom, not a single person was looking at us. It was almost as if they were saying that anyone from Class D who participated in any race did not care about them.
"Are you worried about Ryuuen-kun?"
"All right, a little"
"I really doubt that he didn't think of doing any reconnaissance towards us, but he was the one who refused the cooperation with Class B. He had no intention of building a strategy seriously." Right after she said that, it was almost as if saying 'i understand', looking at me and continuing.
"What would I think if I hadn't been warned by you. Of course the other disciples would definitely think that way." Horikita further looked towards the Class D students who were trying to practice.
.
"As you said earlier, about Ryuuen-kun who was already thinking of a strategy to win. So, the meaning is now realized, right? After all, that means that reconnaissance he doesn't need anymore, right?" Horikita's optimistic expression on the page could no longer be seen. Instead, I can see it go awry.
"Whoever wants information of another class, whose physical ability is supreme or who will participate in a match, they will be eager to know it, but he shows no such signs" That's right, that in itself is proof that Ryuuen already has a strategy that she keeps to herself.
"The important point here is not to be satisfied just by knowing that 'Ryuuen has already thought of a strategy'"
"...what do you mean?"
"Numbers, when someone comes up with a strategy or a secret, they will do their best to make sure that their enemy is not that ingenious. However, that fellow did not even try to hide it and bravely did not do any reconnaissance"
"He acted bravely, almost like he was showing off"
.
Then, if you think about what that means, you can also simultaneously look at the mindset as well. I wonder how much Horikita can see right now.
"You, your knowledge or your observations, I can't help but ask how you deduce them. But you've banned it until I dare not ask" It's very unpleasant and the way Horikita is. Of course, no matter how he forced me, I wouldn't say anything.
"Suzune, do you have a minute?" Sudou, who arrived late, called out to Horikita, who was deep in thought. Horikita, who cut off her own thoughts, said to Sudou with a slight annoyance. There seems to be something else he cares about.
"What does that mean? Do you mind being called that?"
"Of course, yeah. I don't want people who aren't close to me to call me by my first name" She took such decisive action without regard for Sudou's feelings.
.
"If you insist on calling me like this even after I directly say that I am uncomfortable with it, I will take action" Absolutely horrible words. If possible, I would rather not hear the details of what he said.
She would have wanted to call him by his first name but she would have lost everything if Horikita hated him. However, I don't know what Sudou is thinking, as he said this.
"Then, at this sports festival, if I can produce the best results for Class D......... at that time, please give me permission to officially call you by your first name" Ohh? For Sudou, it was a slightly simple wish that he put into his sentence. Even so, I don't know if Horikita would actually approve of it or not.
"You working hard is desirable but why should I respond to that?" It seemed Horikita did not think that she had ever done goodwill to Sudou. In response to that, I wonder how Sudou will answer.
".... Not long after registration, you saved me, didn't you? That's why I want to be the right love.no, first I want to be friends with you. It's a step towards that"
.
"I don't understand. This is not something you will do to say and be treated, but fine, if you produce the best results, then at that time, I will allow you to call me by my first name. However, do not settle for just the class. Showing the best results throughout the school year "Saying that, Horikita hit Sudou with a supreme obstacle. But, in a sense, maybe it was a good ingredient to act as a trigger for Sudou. There was no sign of fear in him.
"Well, this is a promise, if I'm first in the school year then I'll call you by your first name"
"However, until you produce results that you cannot do, if you are unable to take first place between the school years, then you are forever forbidden to call me by my first name. You'll do your best to prepare yourself for it"
"Sure" Although he was suppressed with an extremely difficult task, Sudou excitedly nodded and replied. It's just that, well, the chances of it happening are not at all low. As far as I can see to the other grade disciples, Sudou's potential is the most superior. I can see he won't have any problems with individual matches.
.
The only one who can fight him, Kouenji, is like he has no motivation so there should be no problems there. All that was left was to see how many records he could break in a match that required cooperation.
***
After a brief experiment in the room, the real training aimed at determining a talent had already begun. Hirata's decision also applies with participation that is not required to the student, but with the aim of making the class work together, the participation rate is around 90% and it ends with only the likes of Kouenji and Professor refusing.
"Hau, auu, fuu ...." Right now, a woman entered the last place and looking as if she was about to faint, she placed both hands on her knees.
"Good job, Sakura. You run with spirit."
"A-Ayanokouji-kun, Huu" Sakura, who was not athletic, could not be more actively participating with something like this. However, recently she was earnest and worked hard to be a part of the class. It is regrettable, because he is not very athletic, the results are not satisfactory.
