Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

After the electricity came back, Shiina's ears turned red. She hurriedly said goodbye to Su Qing and returned to her home. Su Qing saw that the girl had returned to normal and her absolute sense of smell no longer detected the sad scent, so he did not stop her or comfort her.

After all, everyone has their own secrets buried deep inside. If Shiina doesn't take the initiative to tell them, Su Qing won't take the initiative to ask.

And before others take the initiative to say it, Su Qing can only try his best to comfort the other party again and again like he did today, and that is enough.

At least, that's what Su Qing thinks now.

……

The next day, although a typhoon hit, the rain was not heavy, so the school did not close for holiday and classes continued as usual.

As soon as Su Qing arrived in the classroom and sat down, he heard a lot of complaints.

"Oh, I'm so annoyed. I really want to take a vacation."

"That's right, this typhoon is too weak, isn't it? I thought we could have a day off today because of the typhoon yesterday."

"Don't mention it. Yesterday I thought I would have a day off, so I stayed up for two and a half hours to celebrate my wife's birthday."

"Inflatables also have birthdays?"

"Yes, doesn't it say the date of manufacture?"

"...6"

"Come to think of it, Dazhi and Murakami haven't been here for two or three days, right? When I asked them about it on Line, they just hesitated and didn't give any explanation."

"Who knows? Maybe he can't get up from the house because he has directed too much."

"...or so you would say."

Well, today’s classmates are still full of youthful energy and vitality!

"Xiaoqing, have you heard?"

"What did you hear?"

Su Qing turned around curiously and looked at Yui who was acting mysteriously.

"It seems like the sports festival in half a month will be postponed." Yui whispered.

"Postponed? Why?" Su Qing was surprised. Could such an event be postponed? Was it because it was originally planned that it would rain on those days and could not be held? But if that was the case, they would not have decided on those days in the first place.

"I don't know the specific reasons. I just heard it from Yumiko and the others. Now many people know about this matter." Yuigahama stuck out her pink tongue innocently.

Many people know about it? Then I will know it last, damn it. Su Qing glanced at it, as if he had thought of something, and walked to Hikigaya's seat under Yui's confused gaze.

"Hikigaya-san, did you know that the sports festival might be postponed?"

"Oh, it's you. Well... I don't know when did the teacher notify you?"

Hikigaya was lying on the table like a salted fish. When he felt someone coming, he raised his head and looked at Su Qing with dead eyes. This was the first time he was actively approached by someone since he started high school.

Oh, no, it’s the second time.

The first time I gave it to Ayaka was during cooking class.

Ayaka... Hehe, Hikigaya suddenly laughed.

Is this guy so happy about the postponement of the sports festival? Why is he smiling like this? Su Qing couldn't possibly know that Hikigaya was so happy because he thought of a "boy". If he knew, he would be so scared that he would step back several steps.

But, fortunately, at least I have guaranteed that I am not the last person to know about this matter. Isn't there still Hikigaya at the bottom?

Su Qing suddenly felt balanced.

"I heard, just heard, a lot of people are saying that now. I remember you also signed up for a project, right? I thought you didn't know yet, so I came to tell you in advance so that you can be prepared."

Su Qing explained and then smiled a harmless and kind smile.

This guy is really a good person. Not only are we in the same club, but he also took the initiative to group me with me in the last cooking class. I guess we will be in a fixed group in the future... and now he comes to tell me this news.

So, we have become friends without knowing it?!

I told you, Mr. Hiratsuka's talk of correcting my personality is totally unnecessary.

"Um, thank you...thank you." Hikigaya thanked him. It was reasonable for him to thank him for coming to tell him the news, right? However, it seemed that he hadn't said such words for a long time, so Hikigaya seemed a little stiff.

"Okay, then I'll go back first." After getting psychological comfort, Su Qing yo-yoed.

"Xiaoqing, are you very close to Hikigaya?" Yui asked curiously. After all, Hikigaya was the kind of person that no one cared about in the class. He usually kept to himself, and others said that Hikigaya liked to say some weird things, which led to everyone's bad impression of him.

"Well, it's okay. We joined the same club and I think he's pretty interesting."

"Club? Xiaoqing, I didn't even know when you joined the club." Yui opened her mouth, a little surprised.

"Just about what happened two days ago. Why? Didn't I tell you?"

"No, Xiaoqing, what club did you join?" Yui asked.

"Well, maybe you'll need to go there too, and then you'll know."

Su Qing laughed. The name of the Service Department was really hard to say. As it was almost time for class, Su Qing didn't want to explain too much.

"Okay then~" Seeing that Su Qing didn't give a direct answer, Yui didn't continue asking.

The class bell rang and Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka walked in with a smile on her face, but this smile looked... a little off.

"Okay, everyone, calm down."

Mr. Hiratsuka first straightened out the atmosphere in the classroom, then spoke.

"I guess many of you have heard that the school is postponing the sports festival, right?"

Students below kept nodding their heads. Of course, some students who didn’t know the answer also nodded, pretending that they knew, in order to show that they were not being excluded.

"Well, I want to clarify that it is actually a rumor."

There was an instant burst of relief off the field. After all, no one wanted the three-day sports festival to be postponed for no reason.

Shizuka Hiratsuka suddenly smiled. Although she looked beautiful in her professional attire, the words she said next made all her classmates scream on the spot.

"It's not postponed, it's cancelled. The school has decided to temporarily cancel the sports festival and hold the end-of-month exams in advance. By the way, this end-of-month exam will be the same as the other two schools ranked in the top three in Tokyo, and we will be ranked together."

"Ah! Don't"

"Why, Wozhi?"

"The school poet holds"

"Teacher, why is this happening?" Seeing that the students around him were in a bad mood, Hayato Hayama quickly stood up and asked a question.

"Why? You still dare to ask why?" Shizuka Hiratsuka first rubbed her eyebrows, then spoke helplessly.

"You guys are really cocky right after the start of the school year. The discipline committee has found erotic comics among the boys at the school gate more than once. Almost every grade and every class has them. It's already been a semester and you still don't know the school rules?"

Some of the boys lowered their heads in shame.

But the girls are unwilling to accept this. They think that boys should be responsible for the boys’ mistakes, right?

"It's the same with you female students. When the PE teachers of each grade go to the gym to get equipment since the beginning of the school year, they always see some of your couples having sex in there. When we ask those couples why they are having sex, they actually say that it was the girls who took the initiative. The school does not oppose free love, but the school is not a free hotel."

"Also, haven't you noticed that school leaders have been inspecting the classes of each grade from time to time since the beginning of the school year? Even so, some students are still dozing off and playing games."

"Anyway, it's impossible for the school to hold a sports festival with the current atmosphere."

Hiratsuka Shizuka changed the subject.

"However, if you can at least not rank last in this exam, or even rank first, the school will hold the sports festival again later, and even choose another day to hold it for four days!"

"Really, teacher!" A student couldn't wait to ask, if we can round up to four days, wouldn't that mean we have four days off? There are only five days in a week, so wouldn't that mean we only have one day in a week? Rounding up is the same as not having classes!

"Of course it's true. The school leaders personally guaranteed it."

Hiratsuka Shizuka replied calmly. Looking at the excitement of the group of little kids below, she knew that they were under control.

Of course, what I just said is partly true and partly false. If the atmosphere is so bad, the entire school might as well just change its name to Sobu.

The news must be both true and false to convince these children. What's more, these students are a little arrogant at the beginning of the school year and have no sense of nervousness. They need to be disciplined. After the monthly exam, I am afraid that no matter which rank they are in, the school will hold the exam as usual. The only difference is the number of days.

Alas, poor Tom, he was played by someone else.
