Chapter 074: Sports Festival, A Journey of a Thousand Miles Begins with a Single Step

Class 1-B.

On September 1st, a new semester arrived.

Hikigaya, as usual, used his left arm as a pillow, lying on the table, feeling a bit tired.

During the summer vacation.

Basically, most of the time was spent in the dormitory, occasionally going out to eat some curry to improve the food, and even avoiding the lower right corner when watching movies.

The most troublesome thing is.

Shiina Hiyori would ask him to express his reading experience every three to five days. At the beginning, Hikigaya didn't care much about expressing those twisted feelings.

However,

Unexpectedly, Shiina Hiyori would resonate with him.

The two have a lot in common.

Both are alone, both prefer to be alone, both have little social interaction.

Both are not very good at communication.

Of course, Shiina Hiyori is slightly stronger than him, but if it's in terms of work, Hikigaya doesn't think there is any problem with his communication skills.

Although Shiina Hiyori likes detective novels, she also likes "Goodbye, My Love" and other trash literature, and she also longs for confidants and love.

Being with her doesn't require a desperate search for topics, even the atmosphere of silence is reassuring.

The two can talk to each other.

So.

For the remaining half of the summer vacation.

Every four or five days, they would meet in the library, return the book while expressing their reading experience.

Anyway, they are all just reading books.

Hikigaya didn't have any objections.

It's just that Shiina Hiyori's enthusiasm is a bit difficult for people, and occasionally she will appear at his dormitory door, asking him to return the book.

How much does this girl like books?

Lying on the table.

Hikigaya couldn't help but glance at Ichinose and others who were chatting casually.

The class seems to have defaulted on his existence, and no one will easily disturb him during break time.

The familiar environment is reassuring.

Until the afternoon.

Hoshinomiya Chie walked into the classroom leaning against the wall, and the air was filled with a faint smell of alcohol.

"Teacher Hoshinomiya, you drank again last night."

Ichinose and others looked helpless.

This guy is basically in a hangover state 60% of the time, and she hasn't been fired yet. The school is too lenient, right?

Hikigaya felt that he might as well stay and work after graduation.

He feels that he can do this kind of thing.

"It's okay."

"I slept at noon, and now there's no need to worry~"

Hoshinomiya waved her little hand, obviously still not in a state.

"Okay, let's start class, the course will start again from today."

"From the second semester of September to October, a one-month course will be added to prepare for the sports festival."

"I will send the new schedule and the data of the sports festival."

"Pass it from front to back."

"If you don't understand, you can ask me~"

Hikigaya looked bad, he really didn't like the three words "sports festival".

He still remembers the experience of being forced to perform gymnastics with the teacher in junior high school because of lack of manpower, which really didn't make him happy.

Soon.

The data of the sports festival and the schedule were passed to him.

Hikigaya took out a copy and handed the rest to Shiranami behind him.

For Hoshinomiya Chie's free work mode.

The people in Class B are already used to it.

They all buried their heads and browsed.

The sports festival is held by dividing the whole grade into two groups, red and white, for a battle. The grouping is composed of Class A and D in the red group, and Class B and C in the white group.

According to the results, the school will give the first-place student's group fifteen points, the second-place student's group twelve points, the third-place student's group ten points, and the fourth-place student's group eight points.

For the fifth place and below, each rank is reduced by one point, and the winning grade in the team competition is given five hundred points.

According to the results, the school will give the first-place student's group fifty points, the second-place student's group thirty points, the third-place student's group fifteen points, and the fourth-place student's group ten points.

For the fifth place and below, each rank is reduced by two points (the final relay race will be given three times the score).

The grade that loses in the overall score of the whole grade will deduct one hundred points from all the classes of that group equally.

The class that gets the first place in the overall score will be given fifty points.

The class that gets the second place in the overall score, the class points will not change.

The class that gets the third place in the overall score will deduct fifty points.

The class that gets the fourth place in the overall score will deduct one hundred points.

and the reward for individual student

First place: Give private points five thousand points or three points of written test results.

Second place: Give private points three thousand points or two points of written test results.

Third place: Give private points one thousand points or one point of written test results.

Last place: Deduct one thousand individual points (if the points held are less than one thousand, then deduct one point of written test results)

There are also some rules prohibiting the use of violence.

Hikigaya took a quick look and chose to give up immediately.

He definitely has nothing to do with the top few in the overall, and he doesn't need the written test scores.

His grades are not good, but they are also at a medium level.

There is no need to worry about the risk of dropping out due to poor grades.

Therefore,

For him,

The sports festival is simply unattractive.

More importantly.

Class B and Class C are actually in the white group.

Doesn't this mean that they have to be enemies with Commander Horikita Manabu and Vice President Nagumo Miyabi.

Both of them seem to be the best in their respective grades' Class A.

No matter how you think about it, they can't win.

Just give up.

Then it's the competition items.

"Woah..."

Hikigaya's face looked even worse.

It's clearly a sports festival, but this school actually requires everyone to participate, what a garbage school.

Isn't this.

Deliberately making people who are not good at sports go up and lose face?

No.

If everyone loses face, it means that no one will lose face, they just go up to be the green leaves for those who are good at sports.

This seems to be no problem

If he had a choice, he wouldn't want to participate in any of them, but Ichinose and others probably wouldn't agree.

Although he thought about pretending to be sick.

But when it comes to class interests, it's really a bit unbearable.

He still doesn't want to cause trouble to the class.

"Everyone, are there any questions~"

Ichinose asked.

"It's okay, just leave it to Ichinose."

"Yeah, if there's any problem, just let Ichinose tell us."

"I agree~"

Several girls raised their hands, or they all gave full power to Ichinose to decide. Hoshinomiya Chie also left the classroom wisely when she saw this, giving them the class meeting time.

Although Hikigaya was a bit curious about whether this sports festival was a special exam, but since everyone didn't ask, he didn't ask either.

After all, his question is really insignificant.

Whether it is or not, Ichinose's answer is probably that everyone will do their best, so there is no difference.

The next step is to decide the participants.

The only methods Hikigaya can think of are raising one's hand and arranging based on ability.

"Next is to decide the participants."

Ichinose thought for a moment and looked around. In the end, her gaze fell on Hikigaya and she laughed:

"Hikigaya, do you have any events you want to participate in?"

"Eh?"

Hikigaya was stunned for a moment.

"Me?..."

Why suddenly ask me?

However,

Feeling the gazes of many people in Class B, Hikigaya quickly understood the reason.

Theoretically speaking.

Even if someone wants to participate in the competition for personal points, it's not surprising.

But all the personal points of Class B are kept by Ichinose, so there will be no such interest disputes.

Need to participate in that competition.

You can completely decide based on personal preferences, and finally let Ichinose judge.

.. . ...

The only surprise is himself.

"Uh..."

Feeling that he was the only outlier, Hikigaya apologized a bit:

"Don't bother about me; I'll just fill in the empty spot"

With his physical education results.

In Class B, it's only between 15-20, let alone the whole school, most of them are only in the middle.

Personal points are not 100% impossible to get.

But I'm afraid it takes a lot of effort and 100% enthusiasm to have some chances.

As the ancients said:

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

It's better to give up directly.

I'm not interested in written test scores either.

Anyway, I have to go on stage to lose face.

It's better to be a brick honestly, where it needs to be moved.

After all,

In the past, no one ever asked for his opinion.

Basically, they would wait until the end, and wherever there was a vacancy, they would fill it in.

Now, he's even making Ichinose and others worry more, Hikigaya is really a bit embarrassed.

"I see..."

Ichinose, not knowing what she was thinking, scrutinized Hikigaya for a moment before saying, "I remember Hikigaya's physical education grades have always been pretty good, right?"

"Not really,"

Hikigaya, having a bad premonition, quickly denied, "They've always been hovering around the twentieth place."

After all, some people progress, some people regress, and he occasionally wants to be lazy, so his grades are always unstable.

"That's fine, it's about the same as me, I'll decide."

Ichinose smiled and nodded, turning to look at the others.

"I think we should decide based on everyone's interests. If there's a duplication, we can negotiate. What do you all think?"

Unexpectedly.

There was another round of agreement below.

It's completely different from the two ways he thought of.

However,

Think about it from another angle.

People who are interested in a certain sport.

It means that he will invest a certain amount of energy in this area, and he must have good strength.

If he is constantly being hit.

Interest is probably hard to maintain, Ichinose's way of setting up the competition form seems to be not bad.

Don't ever discourage children's interests.

It feels like Ichinose could be a good mother.

Just at this moment,

The two made eye contact, and Ichinose, for some reason, smiled and nodded at him, then continued to discuss the competition form with the others.

What are you doing?

Why are you laughing?

Don't you know it's scary to laugh?

Hikigaya inexplicably felt a chill.
