"The staff transfer is a minor matter. The main issue is that the core members of the activities department are all sophomores. If you go alone, they might have some difficulty adapting."

"Isn't there Kiriyama-senpai? Only through this channel can I get access to the authority to recruit new members, which is the most important thing."

Hashima Hikaru's expression was very serious. The activities department was the core part of the student union's execution of management authority, and it was also the key to personnel appointments. Only by starting from here could they continue to climb up.

"You seem very confident?"

Horikita Manabu did not give a clear answer, but raised a new question.

"After the third-year seniors step down, Nan Yun will have to recruit new people. He can't just place all the second-years in his positions. If he does, he won't be able to control the first-years."

Hashima Hikaru has come into contact with Nanyun Masa several times and is quite familiar with his controlling nature and arrogant personality.

"I understand what you mean. Have you already selected the right person among the first graders?"

Horikita Manabu's thinking was very clear, and he understood the boy's deeper thoughts.

"of course."

"Okay then. After the sports festival is over, I'll arrange for you to join the activities department. Kiriyama will assist you then, provided you can get his approval."

"I understand."

"Then see you on the field later."

Horikita Manabu glanced at Hashima Hikaru's confident expression and said, "I will give my all in any competition. I hope you will do your best."

"I will."

After the two men left, Mitsuru Hashima touched his wrist with a smile on his face.

This conversation was actually just a statement from him. Only by agreeing to officially join the game could he maximize the resources he could inherit from Horikita Manabu.

On the one hand, even if it is not for the purpose of competing with Nanyun, seizing power is always exciting.

After calming down, Mitsuru Hashima returned to the Red Team's tent. Unnoticed, a man with long hair was standing at a corner of a wall in the distance.

Because the distance was too far, he couldn't hear the specific content of the conversation between the three people, but he was able to take photos from a good angle.

Long Yuanxiang took out his mobile phone and sent a photo to someone. After the other party received it, several new messages came immediately.

[Then do it. If you succeed, you will be qualified to continue working with me.]

【But if you fail, I won't give you a second chance. 】

【I hope you can show your skills. 】

Long Yuan closed his phone. This was the only member he added who was not in the same grade as him. The other party was the vice president of the student union - Nan Yunya.

This was the trump card that allowed Ryuen Sho to challenge Hikaru Hashima to a score challenge. Nanyun had provided him with some information before the sports festival began, which was the list of people from Class A who would be participating in the recommended competition.

The next game, everything will be completely different.

"Victory will definitely belong to me..."

291

Chapter 291: Four-way tug-of-war competition, Long Yuan’s plan.

After the first recommended game, the break was not long. In order to complete all the games within one day, the school has drawn up a very detailed process chart. As long as there are no major problems, the plan will be followed accurately.

"The next competition is the four-way tug-of-war. Are all the students participating in the competition ready?"

Hikaru Hashima looked at the people who had stood up in the tent. After all, it was a competition of strength, and all the participants in the tug-of-war were boys.

"We are ready. We must continue to maintain our advantage and must get the best ranking."

Shibata felt that he had not performed well in the previous team tug-of-war competition, so now that it was this event, he had to work hard.

"I'm still quite confident. Everything just waits for the competition to begin."

Kanzaki Ryuji nodded, his warm-up movements were very skillful.

"No matter what, for our class to achieve the final victory, please cheer for us."

The game is about to begin. In traditional sports, the real winner is always the one who shows his ability. Hashima Hikaru is quite confident because he is in the same group with Kanzaki.

As the second recommended competition, the four-way tug-of-war competition has rules that are quite different from ordinary tug-of-war.

The rules are that four classes compete at the same time, which is divided into three rounds. Each class will send two students as contestants in each round, for a total of six people.

The competition uses a special rope that is tightly wrapped together in the middle and then extends out in four directions. The contestants need to hold the rope together and push back. The goal is to move the position with the mark in the middle to their own area. Once the specified standard is reached, the supervisor next to them will raise the flag in his hand and declare the end of the competition.

The dragging distance was not particularly far, but when students from four classes worked together to make the rope move as they wanted, it required a lot of strength and it would not be easy to win.

Sometimes they would even get into a tough fight, with the rope eventually stuck in the middle, and the winner would be determined by whichever side exhausted their strength first.

The second special exam, the four-way tug-of-war competition, is about to begin. First-year competitors, please prepare yourselves. Countdown is three minutes.

The announcement sounded on time. Hashima Hikaru looked at Shibata and another boy, Sumida Makoto, who were standing next to them. As members of the first group, they carried everyone's expectations.

"Then I'll set off. Please watch my performance carefully."

Shibata confidently walked towards the competition field with Sumida behind him. The positions of the four classes had been marked on the ground with white lines. After he picked up the very thick rope, the contestants from other classes also came over.

"Oh no! It's Yamada-san?"

The students in Class A immediately spotted Shibata and his team's opponents. Classes B and C also sent out boys, while Class D sent out the tall mixed-race boy and another strong delinquent boy.

"Can Shibata defeat him? I feel like it's a bit risky..."

"Yeah, Yamada-kun's strength is incredible. I noticed it during the pole flip competition. He's like an iron tower, so scary!"

Listening to everyone's discussion, Hashima Hikaru's expression became a little serious. He didn't expect that Ryuuen would actually send out a killer like Yamada Albert in the first game. Once this guy appeared on the court, the chances of other classes winning would instantly drop a lot.

After all, there are only two class members in each group, so if it is just a competition of strength, they have a greater advantage.

"Damn it, it's actually Yamada-san?"

Sumida tied the rope tightly around his hands with an ugly expression.

"Yeah, although I knew there was a chance I'd face him, I didn't expect it to be so unlucky."

Shibata's face also looked unhappy. He had planned to fight hard to show his strength, but now it seems that he will be thankful as long as he doesn't lose too miserably in the end.

"Beep!"

The whistle of the game sounded, and at that moment, Yamada and the boy behind him exerted force together. They burst out with great strength and pulled the mark in the middle of the rope towards the position of Class D.

"Damn it, I can't give up!!!"

Shibata and Sumida Makoto gritted their teeth and pushed forward, and the other two classes were also trying hard, but because Yamada was too strong, everyone's resistance was of no use at all.

"Whatever, it's fine if we get second place. Sumida, let's change our strategy!"

Shibata roared. If he really couldn't get first place, he planned to try his best to pull the rope to the last stop. If he was closer to Class A's position, he could get second place.

"Haha, unfortunately, I'm not going to give you the second place."

Sitting in the tent, Ryuuen sneered and waved his hand. Yamada-san and the boys from Class D increased their strength again. This time, they even adjusted the angle while exerting force.

"Assholes, what are you doing? This is surrendering to the enemy!"

Shibata instantly discovered that the rope was moving at another angle. Not only was it getting closer and closer to Class D's position, it was actually starting to move closer to Class C.

Because the class positions between the red and white groups are staggered, if the game really ends according to this stopping position, Class A will be the last one and will not even catch up with Class B.

"you!!!"

After seeing the direction of the rope's movement, Shibata Sa became furious. He never expected that the students in Class D would rather let the White Group's class get a good ranking than let them get second place.

"..."

After taking in the situation on the field, Hikaru Hashima was also a little shocked. After signing the score competition contract with Class D, he guessed that Ryuuen would definitely not abide by the rules to compete, but he didn't expect that he would do such a thing.

He would rather give points to the enemy camp than let Class A score. This does sound excessive, but the score gap between the red and white groups has widened. Such a small score difference can hardly affect the overall trend. This is the reason why he dares to do so.

"Damn it, they are so despicable!"

"Yeah, if this continues, Shibata-san and the others will be last."

When the students in Class A began to feel indignant, Yamada finally succeeded in dragging the marker on the rope into Class D's position. The referee's countdown ended, and the first group's competition ended.

"Shh!"

The expressionless referee raised a red flag behind Albert Yamada, announcing the official end of the game. Shibata stared at the scene in a daze, unable to let go of the anger surging in his heart. He planned to rush up to question the other party, but was dragged back by the boy behind him.

"Don't lose your temper. Have you forgotten what happened to Sudo?"

"Damn it! This idiotic plan must have been thought up by that guy Long Yuan!"

"Let's go back and ask Hashima-san what to do."

When Sumida returned to Class A's tent with the still-angry Shibata, everyone immediately surrounded them.

"This isn't Shibata-san's fault. They were just too mean. They actually used such a method to make us come in last place."

"Yes, Shibata-san, don't be upset. This has nothing to do with you."

The points awarded for group rankings in the recommended competition are different from those for the overall competition. First place is 50 points, second place is 30 points, third place is 15 points, and fourth place is only 10 points.

This means that after the first round of the four-way tug-of-war competition ended, the scores obtained by Class A and Class D in the recommended competition instantly widened the gap of 40 points.

In the previous borrowing race, although Hashima Hikaru took first place in the group, Class D's results were equally strong, as they also had a contestant who took first place in the group. After the race, the scores of the two classes were not too far apart, and now they have indeed been completely overtaken.

"Hashima-san, what do you think?"

Someone looked at Hashima Hikaru's face.

"This must be their intention. Since Long Yuan dared to use the contract to compete with us, it means he has his own trump card."

The young man glanced at the nearby tent and mused, "Let's not panic for now. Tug-of-war is ultimately a test of strength. As long as we have the advantage, we won't be afraid even if they cheat."

"We understand."

"Then let's rely on our absolute advantage to prevent them from reacting."

After seeing Shibata's crushing defeat, Kanzaki Ryuji was also very angry. He was already very unhappy with Ryuen, and now he was even more unhappy.

"Good luck in the second group."

Hashima Hikaru looked at Kanzaki and another boy from Class A, Hamaguchi Tetsuya. Since Class D had already sent out its absolute ace student in the first game, they would not be so easily led by the nose the second time.

"come on!!"

After they were ready to go to the competition venue, for some reason, Hikaru Hashima always had a bad feeling in his heart. Since Ryuuen proposed the score bet without fear, it meant that he was very confident.

But tug-of-war is a test of strength. As the saying goes, strength can break all barriers. As long as the lineup is strong enough, there will be no impact.

But soon, when everyone in Class A saw the second round of contestants sent by Class D, everyone's face was filled with shock.

Because this time their opponent is the tall Yamada classmate again, and his team is Ishizaki Daichi.

"Hey, what's going on? Didn't Yamada-san just go into battle?"

"Yeah, this is obviously a violation!"

"But the referee didn't seem to say anything..."

Ichinose's delicate brows knitted slightly as he continued his analysis, "Could it be that they're using a substitute player?"

"This is it."

Hikaru Hashima's expression darkened. He didn't expect that Ryuen would dare to be so reckless. First, he gave points to the people in the enemy camp, and then he spent 100,000 points to play for others.

"Damn it... they are so despicable."

"No wonder they dared to offer a two million bet. It turns out they had no intention of competing normally from the beginning!"

"This is indeed a bit troublesome..."

The boy touched his wrist. The third round would be his turn to compete with another boy. If that classmate Yamada played again, he would have to use his second chance of [Potential Burst] in order to win.

Chapter 292: Get ready to take action, get ready to take action.

When the towering Yamada-san reappeared on the field, both the contestants and the spectators were shocked. However, because the referee did not give any instructions to explain the violation, everyone quickly understood what had happened.

"Damn it, you actually use this trick?"

Tetsuya Hamaguchi's expression froze slightly. His strength was indeed quite good, but if he faced Yamada, the outcome would basically be the same as Shibata's.
