Classroom Of The Elite 2nd Year - Full Volume
Chapter 5 Chapter 8
I had already considered that it was because he was paired with Kushida but it seemed like he received a lot of losses from his downfall during the hurdles race.
She looked as if she was pushing herself up on her own pace but her body could not stand up, that was my impression. Rather than shrinking, the gap between first position and second position began to widen gradually and Class B running in the last position started to creep on them. They both seem to have decided to run faster than the others by switching routes. Their goal was to take a position in front of Class B by blocking their way forward.
Class B also tucked them in without faltering, but because their speed was nearly the same as each other, it did not go well. Cheers also rose as a tight struggle over third place ensued. Overly focused by blocking their path, Horikita and Kushida provide a momentary path that allows Class B to turn things around.
"Uwoooo, disappoint!" They did the best they could but they came in last position. The victory we hoped for is now growing far.
.
10 Minutes of rest occurs, and people go to the toilet or drink alone. Heading to the UKS for the sake of compresses, Horikita went to the school building. Even if it would just pour water over a hot stone, it was still better than doing nothing. I did not go anywhere, and instead remained silent in the tent while observing the other classes. According to the group, it was possible to pick up a wide variety of information just by observing them from a distance. And it was Class A, as I expected, that proved it.
The twisted relationship between Katsuragi and Sakayanagi takes center stage. Anyone could see with the naked eye that they were clearly divided between the two factions. Perhaps neither side intended to befriend the other, as there was hardly any contact between them. It is not strange for a class to have two leaders appointed. Even in our class, other than having Hirata as the main one, there are still Karuizawa and Kushida and in this case, even Sudou is leading the class. Of course we change it all the time, but even so, our class is still united. We don't crack to the point where we'll have a personal disagreement.
However, I can tell that there is a glaring antagonism between Class A. It's something we didn't see in the previous exams and something we couldn't say just because of the club's points.
"It's impressive if they were able to keep their internal strife up until now"
.
After all, the Sakayanagi faction had an even greater number. Not long after, when Hirata came to me after returning from the toilet, I decided to reprimand him.
"Hey, what kind of student is Sakayanagi?”
"I understand if you also want to know about him, Ayanokouji-kun"
"People would be curious if they heard that he was the leader who surpassed Katsuragi"
What I don't understand is the mindset of a girl named Sakayanagi. During this sports festival, he did not issue a single order and kept silent, yet he conspired to take action that disturbed Katsuragi. It is not a conflict with other classes but a conflict in Class A. It seemed like he was willing to lose points as long as it allowed him to take out Katsuragi. Of course, it was possible that he instigated this conflict to dominate the class.
But remember that your enemy will be your friend. First of all, the thing to do is to build cooperation so as not to lose to other classes.
"She is very polite, kind to people and also mature. That's why I don't think it's too weird. Students from other classes may feel the same way as well. But, it seemed like it was different from Class A. I've heard rumors that he's aggressive and ruthless "
.
There may be a side that we are not aware of, but we can not just listen to the sentences of people who are attacked with their face value only. And also because we've never even spoken to him. Moreover, it is also a fact that tinkering will not be possible at this sports festival, especially for him. Since his body forbade him from training, he might not have any intention of taking any overt action.
"I don't think there's anything to look out for from Class A at the moment because we're allies"
"I think so" There's nothing to be gained from betrayal. At the very least, there probably won't be any disruptive action taken against Class D and I can say with certainty that there won't be any such action.
But what about Class C? It wouldn't be strange if they took action that bothered us. I looked towards the opponent's tent. There, as if they were serving a king, male disciples gathered around Ryuuen, who was in their midst. Up until now, he was the one who fought with the most foreign strategy.
Even at this sports festival, he fought with the aim of approaching and hurting other classes mentally and corrupting them like that. In particular, Sudou was definitely a person who received such influence. In addition, there are various kinds of tricks. Then I finally wondered, what about Class B who had to fight against a formidable enemy like Class A while having to cooperate with Class C, which betrayal was likely to happen.
.
Ichinose and his group, who were always cheerful, optimistic and tried to fight fair. At first glance, I felt that there was nothing that was a pervert of their attitude. From the smiles and the continuous movements of the various disciples, I could see that they enjoyed this sports festival from the bottom of their hearts.
***
After resting for a while, the order of the contest was reversed for a while and the curtains were raised on the battles of the horses of the women. First-year female students all gathered in the center of the field. Of course, it was still a match between the DA group and the BC group.
The rules for fighting these horses were the same for boys and girls and also had a time limit. This is a mechanism that is set up in such a way that scores are given based on the number of enemy horsemen who have been defeated and the number of horsemen remaining after a period of 3 minutes. Four horsemen make up one team.
From each class, four horsemen are selected and end up being 8 vs 8 (since the remaining student is taken as a reserve, treated as an emergency substitute).
One horseman is worth 50 points and each class has one horseman designated as a general and an ordinary horseman worth 1 00 points. You can earn this point, even if the opponent is still standing, as long as you are able to steal their headband.
.
If we had unrivalled fighters, it was possible that we could get as many as 400 or 500 points in a single attack. By the way, Horikita was one of those in Class D who was chosen to be a rider. The ones acting as support under him were Ishizaki, Komiya and Kondou. Based on the ability to move, they are not too bad.
Other riders including Karuizawa, Kushida and Mori were selected. The problem here was Mori's horse, which was made up of unstable disciples. If we were targeted, there was a high chance that he would be the first to fall. Appointing such a weak horseman as a general, they used that strategy to defend him during the fight and protect him with the three remaining horsemen. Maybe they were aiming for a counterattack if the enemy attacked them?
After the initial signal was given, the horsemen from Class C and Class B quietly began to approach. Among them, as I expected, the one full of motivation was Ibuki Class C. Ibuki, who happened to be a rider, issued an order and advanced towards Horikita without hesitation. No, not just Ibuki.
"O-Oi oi, what happened !?" Ike who was watching, shouted and at the side, I could see Sudou gritting his teeth.
Class C did not attack their other enemy, Class A at all and did not pay attention to Class D Generals or other horsemen. They were just surrounding Horikita's horse. Their purpose is too clear.
.
Four horsemen attacked Horikita. What is their strategy to destroy us one after another, or do they think it doesn't matter as long as they defeat Horikita? The two of them probably remembered that Ryuuen was his commander. More than the numbers, the only thing we can count on is the backup from Class A but maybe they intend to take advantage of our fight, he said, because Class A was only doing tricks and showed no signs of openly participating in the fight.
"They were blatantly targeting Horikita right?"
"Damn it was probably an order from Ryuuen. You trash!"
"Indeed is inevitable. Horikita is known as the one who made Class D work together"
Imagining to destroy someone is equally important, whether it be combat or sport. Ryuuen's tactics aren't bad. Looking at the situation, the first people to act out his support were Karuizawa and the horses under his command. Shinohara ran there while propping up Karuizawa, which was the point. However, the one who was blocking them was the Class B horseman, Ichinose.
.
Unlike Class A, Class B is pretty good at following in the footsteps of Class C as they take action on their own. Running away from each other, it becomes Karuizawa vs. Ichinose. The ones who started the attack were Karuizawa and the others.
I thought that was inevitable, given that they had to settle this as quickly as possible in order to support the targeted Horikita. The three girls who supported Karuizawa were not very athletic. At most it was just a horse built on cooperation between close friends. On the other hand, Ichinose had already made use of the people from the most conspicuous and talented Class B to become his horse. They were not afraid of Karuizawa's attack and with movements that exceeded his own, they dodged the attack.
However, despite being able to make a direct attack, Ichinose's movements did not look sharp. In response to his attack, Karuizawa was able to react well and retaliate against the attack. Plan vs. match, contrary to expectations, shows signs of protracted.
"It's a very good match!"
As the excitement of the audience soared, the situation beside the two wandering horsemen began to change. Cheers explode. While I was busy watching Karuizawa and the others, one of the horsemen's headbands was stolen. She is Horikita. He was attacked simultaneously by four horsemen and was no longer able to dodge their persistent attacks, he was finally killed. He fell off his horse quite quickly and was now asleep on the ground, trying to lift his upper body in frustration. However, in this kind of situation, even Sudou would have no chance of winning.
The cause of his defeat lies in Class A, which does not immediately help him. After all, there was no point crying over spilled milk. Horikita's defeat marked the start of a close-quarters fight. After losing a horseman, Class B chased them. Class D cooperation faltered in an instant. Some of them fell off the horses and others already had no headbands, and beside Karuizawa, the other two horsemen fought in vain before they were defeated.
Karuizawa, who had already fought against Ichinose, temporarily ended up with 8 vs 1 . In the end, he manages to steal the headband of a different Class B horseman through suicidal determination and manages to end the fight by killing each other. After losing the horseman, Class C and Class B attacked the remaining Class A and defeated him. As for the opposing team, they ended up only losing two horsemen as casualties. Biting back her frustration, Horikita returned to our tent. Sudou immediately reprimanded him.
"Don't worry. There is no hope after all. It's someone else's fault for being too slow to help them"
"... it doesn't change the fact that I lost. I was swallowed by their power". Of course, Class C gave a strong feeling of defeating Horikita.
