"Student, what are you doing? The match is still in progress, please leave!"
Hearing the staff member's dissuasion, Sudou ignored it completely, quickened his pace to run in front of Ryuuen, and punched him directly in the face.
One punch.
Knocked Ryuuen flying.
Sudou directly sat on top of him, and his sandbag-sized fists rained down on Ryuuen's head.
Thinking of Horikita Suzune kneeling to Ryuuen and even being toyed with by Ryuuen, Sudou could no longer suppress the anger in his heart; his mind seemed to go blank.
Regardless of anything else, beat him up first.
As expected.
Speaking with fists was more refreshing.
Meanwhile, feeling the pain on his cheek, Ryuuen was momentarily stunned, followed by unutterable anger.
It's even harder to control emotions when one is exhausted.
But on second thought.
Ryuuen still chose not to fight back, holding his head to protect his face.
Even if he was cooperating with Class D.
Neither he nor Horikita Suzune considered the other a true partner.
They were allies and competitors at the same time.
Although he didn't know what madness Sudou was going through, this matter only had benefits for Class C and no disadvantages.
Thinking of this.
Ryuuen endured it.
And at the same time.
The people around gradually reacted; the staff member in charge of supervision was momentarily stunned, and after a moment of thought, hurriedly contacted the Student Council.
Intervention was necessary.
But in this school, the first thing to be tested was the Student Council members' ability to handle problems.
And on the other side.
Hirata in the arena also just reacted.
He was suddenly anxious.
"Sudou, what are you doing? Stop it".
"..."
However, at this time Sudou couldn't hear anyone's words; Ayanokouji on the side silently watched everything without moving.
At the same time.
Looking at Ryuuen being pinned to the ground and beaten, Albert, who reacted almost at the same time, was not so calm.
Without a word, he ran to the two and knocked Sudou flying with a punch.
In terms of athletic ability, he was certainly no match for Sudou, but fighting ability was another matter.
"Don't..."
Ryuuen looked at the scene through the gaps between his fingers.
Before he could finish.
Ryuuen saw Sudou being hammered flying by Albert, which was quite a headache.
Although he knew Albert was eager to protect his leader, this was not a good choice.
But since it had happened, there was no point in agonizing over it further.
"Albert, stay aside".
Ryuuen said coldly; as soon as he finished, he felt a sting on his cheek, and he pushed off the ground to stand up, looking at Sudou opposite him.
At this time.
Hirata Yousuke had already come between the two.
During this time.
Sudou's growth.
Hirata and the others had seen it all, knowing he was no longer the type to lose his temper at the slightest provocation.
Even if provoked, Sudou should have been able to restrain himself.
It shouldn't have been like this.
"Sudou, let's calm down first; what exactly happened?"
Hirata held Sudou's shoulders to stop him, his expression full of anxiety.
Kouenji was slacking again, and now Sudou's importance to Class D was self-evident.
However.
Sudou pushed Hirata to the ground without a second thought, rushed at Ryuuen again, and roared with a face red with rage.
"What exactly did you do to Suzune..."
"..."
Ryuuen hurriedly retreated a few steps.
Taking a few punches was enough; he had no intention of continuing to be beaten now.
He had been engaging in intense exercise just now; with his current strength, he was definitely no match for Sudou.
Seeing this.
Albert also blocked Sudou, but following Ryuuen's instructions, he only chose to defend without attacking.
The Sudou in front of him was like a red-haired gorilla with its fur standing on end.
"Sudou, you look really nostalgic like this; it seems you've been incited by someone".
Ryuuen wiped the corner of his mouth and said coldly, being able to make a rough judgment with just a little guess, though he was still somewhat confused.
After all.
He also acknowledged Sudou's growth.
Trying to provoke Sudou like before was no longer an easy task; he must have been stimulated by something.
However.
None of that mattered; it was just a bit of a pity.
Originally, this matter was extremely beneficial to him.
As long as he appealed to the school about Sudou's use of violence, Sudou's qualification for the exam could be canceled, and Class C would have a chance to take first place in the Sports Festival.
Unfortunately.
It wasn't easy to speak while being beaten, and Albert giving Sudou a punch made the situation a bit troublesome.
However, the opportunity still exists.
As long as it can be categorized as self-defense, it certainly won't affect Class C.
Even though the two classes were cooperating, backstabbing Class D.
Was no big deal to Ryuuen, especially since Sudou's side was at fault, and Horikita Suzune would have nothing to say.
Although he didn't know who was inciting Sudou, Ryuuen also wanted to seize this opportunity to gain the greatest benefit for Class C.
"Sudou, let's calm down first".
Ayanokouji also stepped forward with an expressionless face: "What exactly happened?"
"Yeah, Sudou, calm down".
Hirata also hurriedly consoled him; only Miyake Akito stood silently on the side without speaking.
In theory, it shouldn't be.
Given Sudou's change, even if he were hit, he would likely maintain restraint unless there was something he was extremely certain about.
"What happened? Don't you all know yet?"
Sudou's eyes were wide as he glared at the others.
His past self was indeed not a good person, and although he could understand the confusion of Hirata and the others.
Hearing both Hirata and Ayanokouji speaking for Ryuuen, he couldn't help but feel a hint of sorrow in his heart.
As he spoke.
Sudou took out his phone, opened the forum, and showed the video to everyone.
Unlike the previous post, this one was anonymous.
Hikigaya also knew very well that this matter definitely couldn't fool Class D, since they were caught red-handed by Ayanokouji.
Therefore, it was mainly to fool Sudou.
Soon.
Looking at the video in front of him, Ryuuen frowned.
If he saw this video combined with some malicious inciting speculation, it wasn't surprising that a "simp" like Sudou would get angry.
Only.
The camera's position was clearly at a corner.
And judging by the camera height and the degree of video shaking.
Someone should have been filming, rather than it being a pre-arranged camera.
In that case.
The suspicion of Horikita Suzune and Kushida Kikyou could basically be ruled out.
The only people who knew about this were Kushida Kikyou, the party involved Horikita Suzune, and the suspect X-nokouji.
Thinking of this.
Ryuuen looked at Ayanokouji unobtrusively, not quite understanding what this guy was trying to do.
However.
Ayanokouji just calmly turned his head to look at the observation deck.
Following his gaze.
Ryuuen noticed Ichinose, Hikigaya, and the others walking toward them.
Immediately.
Ryuuen narrowed his eyes.
This kind of despicable and low-handed method was clearly not something Ichinose could do.
Hikigaya...
