"Go Hashima-san!!!"

"Come on!!!"

Amidst the roaring cheers of support, Hikaru Hashima and Ryuji Kanzaki lived up to everyone's trust and successfully reached the finish line as first in the group.

"Huh, at least I didn't embarrass myself."

The boy wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Kanzaki Ryuji beside him, "How are you?"

"No problem, I'm feeling the victory."

"Hahaha."

After the boys' competitions ended one after another, the women's three-legged race was about to begin.

After taking two sips of water while sitting in his seat to rest, Mitsuru Hashima's attention was immediately drawn to the two people on the field.

That was the first group's women's three-legged race, and the contestants from Class C were Horikita Suzune and Kushida Kikyo.

"Wait, why are these two people working together...is this really okay?"

Hashima Hikaru touched his chin. The boy who was familiar with them knew that the two of them had an extremely complicated relationship. If they were to participate in the three-legged race together, it would be an incredible grouping.

On the field, Horikita Suzune was looking down to check the rope on her leg, while Kushida Kikyo, who was slightly shorter than her, was talking to her with a big smile on her face.

"Horikita-san is really serious. No wonder Hashima-san chose to cooperate with you."

"What do you want to say?"

The black-haired girl's tone was very cold and hard. She chose to cooperate with Kushida because the other party had good physical fitness and could cooperate better. Otherwise, she would not agree to such a thing.

"I didn't want to say anything, just a simple chat."

"Are you familiar with Hashima-san?"

After checking the rope, Horikita Suzune planned to go fishing, so she took the initiative to ask, "Are you a friend?"

"Well... I guess we're good friends. Hashima-san and I get along pretty well."

Kushida Kikyo smiled, and she couldn't help but think of the kiss with the boy, and ripples spread in her heart.

"So you're not happy about me and Hashima-san collaborating?"

Horikita Suzune's next words were like thunder, causing Kushida Kikyo's expression to change instantly.

However, she did not lose her composure, but continued to smile and said: "How could that be? My dream is to become good friends with everyone. I am also very happy that Horikita-san and Hashima-san have a good relationship."

"really?"

Horikita Suzune stared into her eyes and asked word by word, "Kushida-san, are you really not feeling uncomfortable?"

"Really? I didn't lie to you."

"……That's good."

"Haha, let's get ready for the game."

Kushida Kikyo changed the subject, but in her heart she had already cursed the black-haired girl in front of her over and over again.

"can."

Chapter 277 Horikita Suzune: I must be crazy.

As we all know, in a two-person three-legged race, cooperation and sense of rhythm are very important. Only by ensuring perfect cooperation can the two people move forward at the fastest speed. If the cooperation density between the two people is relatively low, they are likely to trip in the middle.

In the first group of the women's three-legged race that had already started, although Horikita Suzune and Kushida Kikyo were trying hard to run forward, the results were not ideal.

Among the contestants in this group, the two girls from Class B have always maintained the leading position, followed by Yajima and his classmates from Class D, who were not injured in the previous round. The group of Horikita and Kushida is currently competing with the two girls from Class A for third place.

"...Is there still a problem?"

Hikaru Hashima carefully observed the situation on the field. Since Kushida was in good health, once the comparison was made, it was obvious that the black-haired girl had some problems with her legs and could not reach her best speed.

"Damn it, did the situation just now really have an impact?"

Hirata had been keeping an eye on the competition the entire time. He still remembered that when they first started training for the three-legged race, it was Horikita Suzune who took the initiative to pull Kushida to train. At that time, he thought he could definitely perform at his best and get first place, but he didn't expect that the consequences of the accidental injury would immediately become apparent.

There's definitely something wrong with Horikita-san's legs. If she forces herself to compete, the results won't be good.

"It seems there's no turning point."

Hashima Hikaru took a sip of water. Although Horikita Suzune and Kushida Kikyo both showed their desire for victory, they could not speed up because they had to maintain coordination. After a period of competition, the two girls from Class A finally succeeded in overtaking them.

The first group of women finished the three-legged race, with Class C ultimately finishing in last place.

After Horikita Suzune finished the game, she frowned and began to untie the rope around her ankle. Although she was injured, the girl did not intend to give up.

"Horikita-san, are you okay?"

Kushida Kikyo asked with concern.

"It's okay, I'll just go take care of it."

Horikita Suzune shook her calf slightly, and when she felt the piercing pain begin to increase, she took a deep breath and decided to go to the infirmary first.

"Do you need me to go with you?"

"No need."

After saying this crisply, Horikita Suzune walked towards the school's infirmary.

Naturally, Hikaru Hashima also noticed this scene. After the women's three-legged race was over, there would be a period of time for the students to rest before the next competition would begin.

The boy sat in his seat and looked at Horikita Suzune's lonely back. Because of the pain in her legs, she couldn't move fast and could only limp forward.

"Really? This idiot really likes to dwell on trivial matters."

Hashima Hikaru understood that this guy must have refused the help of his classmates and planned to solve the problem alone.

So he took out his cell phone and sent a message to the girl.

Chat interface.

Hashima Hikaru: Do you need help, Horikita-san?

Horikita Suzune: Not necessary for now.

Hashima Hikaru: Is it really not necessary? You should have noticed what I just said. If you want to discuss it with someone, now is the right time.

After seeing this message, Horikita Suzune unconsciously tightened her grip on her phone. She felt a familiar gaze coming from behind her and realized that Hashima Hikaru was probably staring at her.

Horikita Suzune: We should be rivals now, right? Aren't you afraid of damaging the interests of the class?

Hashima Hikaru: The reward I received from Horikita-senpai was already enough. That was the core way to help the class. What I am doing now is not worth mentioning at all.

Hashima Hikaru: What do you think?

"..."

Horikita Suzune was silent for a while, and finally typed a reply.

Horikita Suzune: Then come with me to the infirmary. I have something to tell you.

Hashima Hikaru: That's right. I believe we will gradually become companions from partners.

The boy smiled slightly. Horikita Suzune's stock price has now risen to 50 points. Building a trusting relationship with her and supporting her progress is a good way to increase the stock price, so such a good opportunity cannot be missed.

"Well, I'll be away for a while and will be back before the next game starts."

Mitsuru Hashima stood up and greeted his classmates. As the core decision-maker of Class A, other people would not take the initiative to inquire about his personal actions. This was a rule that had been established over a long period of time.

At the moment, Ichinose was concentrating on the women's three-legged race, so she didn't look over.

However, just as the boy was leaving the tent, this scene was seen by someone. The girl with exquisite short hair kept locking onto Hashima Hikaru's movement route until she saw him meet Horikita Suzune who was walking out of the playground.

"..."

Kushida Kikyo instantly clenched the mineral water bottle in her hand, making a crackling sound. She had a gloomy face and did not look away until she could no longer see the two people.

After throwing the bottle in the trash, she pulled out her phone and texted an unknown number.

[When exactly are you planning to completely destroy Horikita? I can't wait any longer!]

[Don't worry, there are still many games to come. ]

"I just want to see her fail. Can't you be more efficient?"

【Hehe, please look forward to it. 】

After putting down the phone, Kushida Kikyo breathed a sigh of relief, but her face still looked bad.

"That stinky woman... really makes me sick!"

-

On the other side, Hikaru Hashima had already extended his right hand for the black-haired girl beside him to support him. He stared straight ahead and smiled slightly, saying, "It seems your condition is more serious than I thought."

"It's just a little twisted, that's all, I can still hold on."

Horikita Suzune placed her hand on the boy's arm, trying her best to maintain her balance while keeping a distance of about one foot from Hashima Hikaru.

The girl doesn't want to be so intimate with a boy. Although she is already familiar with him, her reserve still takes effect.

"That's not the point. You should have realized that someone is deliberately targeting you."

"Yeah, my match order might have been leaked."

"This is an interesting situation. Your class is already in such a state, yet there are still creatures like traitors?"

Hashima Hikaru touched his chin and said in a tone of watching the fun, "Do you have a choice in mind?"

"I have some ideas, but I can't confirm them 100%."

"Then what are you going to do?"

Hashima Hikaru moved slowly in accordance with Horikita Suzune's pace, without showing any impatience on her face.

"I haven't decided yet. I plan to wait until all the games are over before making a decision."

Horikita Suzune took a step up the stairs. The infirmary was on the second floor and she would be there soon.

"It is indeed a good idea to stay calm so that we can catch the man without leaving any trace."

Hashima Hikaru thought for a moment and added, "But we still need to be more careful in the subsequent matches."

"I see."

After the two of them entered the infirmary together, the young female doctor immediately came to greet them.

"Hello, who's feeling unwell?"

"it's me."

Horikita Suzune took her hand off Hashima Hikaru's arm, looked at the doctor and said, "I twisted my leg just now during the game. Can you help me get some bandages and ice?"

"It would be better to let the doctor take a look."

Hikaru Hashima interrupted Horikita Suzune and said to the female doctor, "Please take a look at her first. If it's not serious, just give her a simple treatment. After all, we don't have much time for a break."

"I……"

"What's wrong? Aren't you still planning on continuing the competition? Don't you understand whether it's better to handle it yourself or by a doctor?"

Hashima Hikaru raised his eyebrows and met the girl's somewhat angry gaze.

"..."

"Then... thank you for your help."

Horikita Suzune didn't continue to be stubborn because Hashima Hikaru on the opposite side shook her cell phone to indicate that her time was limited.

"Well, lie down for now."

Although the female doctor has not yet figured out the relationship between the two people, as a health care worker employed by the school, she naturally has to spare no effort to take care of the students' health.

Horikita Suzune lay down as instructed, and then raised her leg which was a little swollen and painful.

Just as the female doctor lifted the girl's sweatpants, revealing her fair ankles, Hashima Hikaru had already turned around and walked towards the health information board erected next to her.

"Haha, this boy is quite sensible."

The female doctor carefully examined Horikita Suzune's ankles and calves while whispering, "Is he pursuing you?"
