Saiki Kusuo and The COTE

Chapter 96:Tug Of War

"Horikita, it's impressive that you can compete with the people from the track and field club."

Ayanokouji Kiyotaka walked up to Horikita Suzune who had just crossed the finish line, and spoke to her without any expression, while handing her a bottle of water.

"This is not something worth bragging about. On the one hand, a student from Class D was accidentally injured, and in the end I was not able to take first place, only second place."

As Horikita Suzune spoke, she took the water handed to her and took a few gulps. The previous project had indeed consumed a lot of her energy.

However, Horikita Suzune did not seem to have any major emotional fluctuations about the result, as this result was within her expectations.

"Maybe it was an accident, but you didn't notice the movements of the girl behind you."

As Ayanokouji Kiyotaka spoke, he looked into the distance and saw that Kinoshita Minori had already left the track with the help of her classmates.

"She seemed to want to bump into you just now?"

"What?"

There was some surprise in Horikita Suzune's eyes, and she seemed to find it hard to believe what Ayanokouji Kiyotaka said.

Ryuen Kakeru's plan was within Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's expectations. He guessed that Ryuen would use similar means and would try every means to offend Horikita Suzune.

[I'm afraid his purpose was not to hurt Horikita, but to use the injury of the girl named Kinoshita to frame Horikita. ]

[If no one else intervenes, Class B will probably suffer a huge blow in this exam. In many events, they may be tricked by Ryuen, just like the previous pole-falling competition and the current women's obstacle course. Theoretically, our class should suffer a very serious defeat. And Sudo and Horikita are also the kind of people whose emotions are easily affected by other people and the situation of the competition. At that time, there may be chaos or even infighting within the class. ]

[But it seems that because the class is always in a winning state, such a thing did not happen. Is this the scene created by Saiki? I originally wanted to let Horikita wait here until she grows up, but since Saiki has made this choice, there is no need for this. I will just remind Horikita directly. ]

While Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was thinking in his heart, his eyes were fixed on Horikita Suzune, and then he continued:

"I'm afraid it was Ryuen's order."

"During the pole-turning competition earlier, I noticed that there was something wrong with the movements of the students in Class D. As expected..."

Horikita Suzune's expression turned a little serious.

"But if they want to do this, they must have done a lot of preparation for it... And if they want to attack me on the field, at least they have to be someone who can keep up with me... Isn't it a coincidence that Kinoshita and I are in the same group?"

It was only at this time that Horikita Suzune realized the problem.

It wasn't because Minori Kinoshita was in the same group with her that Ryuen asked her to do this.

It was because Ryuen was planning to plot against Horikita Suzune that Kinoshita Minori was assigned to Horikita Suzune's group.

This was definitely not a spur of the moment decision.

"But...how did he know what event I participated in? Unless...Ryuen knew the list of participants of our class!"

Horikita Suzune suddenly realized something, and then her brain started working rapidly, thinking about various possibilities.
