Hachiman Hikigaya, who returned from his studies after completing his training.

There were no more competitions like tug-of-war with Hachiman Hikigaya, and he also gave up on the idea of ​​competing against him in the 1200-foot relay.

As one of the students in the first group to compete in the first race this morning, I was already humiliated enough by being completely outplayed by Hachiman Hikigaya.

The horseback battle ended after Katsuragi surrendered, followed by a competition using borrowed items.

Because it was a luck-based competition, the students from Class B who participated this time were not selected based on merit, but rather through a lottery system to give students who were not very athletic a chance.

Six students from each class participated. Among the six students from Class B who were lucky enough to draw lots, one was Shiina, and the rest were boys. Hikigaya did not participate in the draw.

"Go, go, Hiyori is the best!"

"Hachiman!"

Beside the starting line, Hikigaya cheered for Shiina without restraint, making Shiina stomp her feet in embarrassment.

"Go for it, Yamamura!" Hachiman said with a smile, encouraging the nervous-looking girl.

There were four people in a group, one from each class. Of the other three, the only one who knew Hikigaya was Yamamura Miki from Class D. Her beautiful, deep blue eyes were partially hidden by her always lowered eyelids.

Despite being a bright and lovely girl, Shan Cun always kept her head down and lacked confidence.

Perhaps not expecting Hachiman to cheer her on so loudly, Yamamura looked flustered for a moment, but then smiled with relief.

"Ah."

Yamamura's voice was very soft; if Hikigaya hadn't had such good hearing, he almost wouldn't have heard Yamamura's response.

"start!"

At the teacher's command, the four students rushed out of the starting line together, but were overtaken by the two girls cheering for Hachiman, and arrived at the lottery point almost at the same time.

[Sports Apparel]

Unfolding the paper folded twice, a hint of helplessness flashed in Shancun's deep blue eyes.

It was the height of summer, and the students were all wearing short-sleeved sports shirts without jackets. She didn't have any male friends she could borrow short-sleeved shirts from.

As she was about to wait thirty seconds to exchange her ticket according to the rules, she remembered that Hachiman owed her two favors.

【The person I like is Lin Er Emu Yo San Mioba II】

Looking at the papers she had pulled up, Shiina hesitated for a moment before turning around and rushing towards Hikigaya's location. Then she realized that Yamamura had the same goal as her.

Both of them target Hikigaya, who has lost his smile.

Hopefully, I won't be forced into a choice between two options.

Facing the two adorable girls rushing towards him, Hikigaya prayed that the two girls would draw different items, otherwise he would have to painfully disappoint Yamamura.

"Could I borrow your short-sleeved shirt, Hachiman?" Yamamura's eyes darted around. "Consider it repaying a favor."

"This is no favor at all, just a small favor."

Thank goodness, it's just a short-sleeved shirt.

With lightning speed, Hikigaya took off his shirt, revealing his muscular upper body, and his well-trained abs exuded visible power.

This attracted the attention of many first-grade girls who were also cheering for their classmates.

"Thank you."

After thanking him, Yamamura glanced at Hikigaya's bare upper body and then ran away as fast as a rabbit. At this moment, Shiina finally ran to Hikigaya's side.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Hachiman hadn't been taken away; she didn't know what she would have done if Yamamura had really taken him.

"Come with me, Hachiman."

Without showing Hikigaya what she had drawn, Shiina grabbed Hikigaya's left hand and turned around.

After she started running, there was no resistance when she grabbed Hachiman's hand.

All you could feel was his body temperature, which was slightly warmer than normal.

Chapter 173 Sports Festival Ends

Her silver hair, shimmering like satin in the sunlight, danced on the girl's face, and she smiled like a blooming red peony.

The boy, who was being led along by her hand, smiled slightly and carefully matched her pace, his eyes full of doting affection.

"That's great."

Asahina hugged Yukinoshita from behind, resting her head on her shoulder. Which girl wouldn't be envious of the intimate way Hikigaya and Shiina looked at each other?

"I told you not to do this, Asahina-senpai." Yukinoshita's beautiful, delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.

She deeply regretted accepting Hikigaya's request. Asahina, her senior, was completely oblivious to human speech and would always approach her with a smile and try to touch her inappropriately, making her even more uncomfortable than Ichinose.

If she hadn't learned about Asahina's isolated situation in her second year, she might have avoided Asahina.

If you're going to get physical, can't you wait about six months after you've known each other?

"hey-hey."

After letting out a laugh that showed no remorse, Asahina rubbed her face against the snow before letting go.

Even though they are both girls, Yukinoshita's ridiculously cute appearance occasionally makes Asahina feel aroused.

Beauty is beauty.

"That Hachiman guy."

In the Class A camp tent, Kanzaki quietly clenched his fist. If it weren't for Hachiman's mistake, Ichinose wouldn't have wanted to resign from his position as leader.

Why did you betray your classmates' trust, Ichinose?

Is that guy Hachiman really that fascinating to you?

Seeing Ichinose unable to tear his gaze away from Hachiman, Kanzaki closed his eyes in anguish.

Can he lead Class A to the other side?

At the finish line of the borrowing competition, Shiina, who was a little slower than Yamamura, came in second place.

"What did I draw? Hiyori."

After taking his T-shirt back from the ever-thanking Yamamura, Hikigaya returned to Shiina's side, whose cheeks were still flushed. The slip of paper he had drawn had already been folded up and was now in Shiina's hand.

"What could it be?" Shiina carefully put the note into her pocket.

"Best friend? Male friend? Classmate? Short-haired boy?"

The contents of the Lottery Contest pool were not disclosed at all, so Hachiman could only deduce them based on his own matching result.

The most likely candidate is a friend. He participated in a borrowing contest in junior high school, and that was the lot he drew.

The teacher in charge of reading the lots even told him that he was really lucky and would definitely come in first place.

Unfortunately, he failed to live up to his teacher's expectations.

"It's not the right time for Hachiman to know yet," Shiina said with a mischievous smile. "Please let me continue to look forward to it."

What are you expecting?

Hikigaya was full of doubts, but seeing that Shiina didn't seem to want to say anything, he could only suppress his intention to press for answers.

............

............

The mixed-gender three-legged race has ended.

As expected, Hachiman and Horikita took first place, a well-deserved reward for Horikita's efforts in training with Hachiman multiple times over the past month.

After the three-legged race, there was only one event left—the 1200-meter relay race, in which the entire grade participated.

The atmosphere on the playground reached its peak at this moment.

The most physically gifted students from each class took to the field, making it the most intense and entertaining competition. Only a handful of students from the entire school chose not to stand by the track.

"come on! Come on!"

"Go for it! You're the best!"

The moment the starting gun fired, the playground erupted in cheers, as if a switch had been flipped.

"You didn't choose to run away? Vice President Nagumo." Hikigaya lightly jumped around to warm up, while President Horikita stretched his legs beside him.

The last runner-up in Class 3-A, Horikita Manabu.

The last runner for Class 2-A, Nangumo Ya.

The last baton runner for Class A, Shibata Hayate.

Long Yuanxiang, the last runner for Class C, Year 1.

The last baton for Class D, Year 1, Kito Hayabusa.

"Hmph." Nagumo ignored Hachiman's provocation and continued to stretch his body. Although the chances of winning were slim, they were not impossible, as long as Hachiman made a mistake.

In the 1200-meter relay race, the last runner for each class is the strongest person in the class, except for Class C of the first year.

A group of people with at least an A rating in physical ability have infiltrated a Dragon Garden member with only a B+ rating.

Thinking of this, Hikigaya cast a pitying glance at Ryuen, who had his hands in his pockets.

"I don't know why I suddenly want to beat you up, Hikigaya." After realizing that someone seemed to be watching him, he met Hikigaya's gaze and could feel the malice in the eyes.

"Don't let illusions cloud your judgment. We're brothers, and the student council president is right here."

"Humph."

Following Nanyun, Longyuan also became the Great Humming Immortal.

When the fifth runner took the lead, Hachiman and his team also took their places on the track, with the twelve of them crammed into the eight lanes.

The first student to receive the baton was Horikita Manabu. Because he had agreed to a match with Hikigaya and Nagumo, he simply stood still and did not start.

After the students of Class 3-B received the baton and set off, Nagumo also received the baton from Class 2-A and stood next to Horikita Manabu.

When there were about six students left at the starting point, Horikita Suzune's graceful and beautiful figure approached from afar.

"Thanks for your hard work."

The moment Hikigaya took over the baton, Horikita Manabu calmly addressed the air in front of him.

Then at the same time, the three of them flew out of the starting line together.

One.

Hikigaya, cutting through the air and running at full speed, didn't slow down at all. The three of them easily overtook the students who had started earlier.

There are also differences between the A ratings for physical abilities. If there were an S rating, the three members of Hachiman would definitely be rated S.

"That's way too fast."

"Are these the students who are capable of competing for student council president? Just how outrageous are they?"

Although the student who was overtaken by the three of them was like a pawn, the students on the sidelines would not overlook the fact that he was the fastest in his class.

"Two," Hachiman continued to mutter to himself.

"Ooooooh!"

"Come on! Come on!"

The roars of cheers echoed across the playground. Now, only one student from Class 3-B remained blocking the back three of Hachiman's group.

At this moment, the three of them almost simultaneously held their breath and squeezed out their body's potential.

When Hachiman silently counted down to three, the track in front of him was completely empty.

Class B of Grade 1 won first place in the 1200-meter relay race.

The second place went to Horikita's Class 3-A, and Nagumo, amidst the students' disappointed gazes, failed to surpass Class 3-B and took fourth place.

The day-long sports festival has come to an end.

The Red Team was defeated by the White Team by hundreds of points.

As planned by Hikigaya, Class B of the first year finally obtained fifty class points. Class A of the second year also suffered a great defeat, losing two hundred class points and being overtaken by Class B of the second year who had obtained fifty class points. Class B then caught up.

The obstacles that had prevented Hachiman from becoming the student council president have completely disappeared.
