Classroom Of The Elite 2nd Year - Full Volume
Chapter 5 Chapter 9

I've thought about this before, but if it happens, no horseman will have a good chance.

"Send me. I will go berserk and make up for it" Sudou calmly said that. Usually words like this would not reach Horikita, but in her current weakened state, they seemed to reverberate within her.

"I was expecting that from you" It was short, but he replied like that to Sudou.

"All right, let's go!"

Sudou yells. The battle of the boys' horses begins. I serve the role of horse on the right side. Sudou stood firmly in the middle and Miyake on the left side. Hirata played the role of the strongest rider and horseman in the formed class. Unparalleled warriors capable of victory even if the allied cavalry were to be defeated.

"Oi Hirata's. Just be careful not to fall or tie your head loose."

.

"... so we use the 'that' strategy, right?"

"We were actually hit during the capture of the flag. We will win without any restraint" I can't see his face, but I know that Sudou must be grinning. They may be planning on using the tactics we've trained repeatedly during our training.

"But I want to make my own proposal, does that not matter? I've watched women's games before and I've been thinking about how we win. I told Katsuragi-kun about that too. Worry if we keep getting destroyed every time "

Class D horsemen follow Hirata's orders and join the horsemen of Class A. At the same time, the initial signal of the match sounded. With almost no difference to Class A, we would eventually form a large group. Class A completely left Class D until they were destroyed during the female student match, but to be sure, losing was not what Class A wanted.

Looking at the development of the situation, the person who was assumed to be a Class C general, Ryuuen, laughed boldly. If subtle details such as cooperation are not achievable, then use broad commands to forcibly direct everyone. Following Katsuragi's orders, eight horsemen from the groups D and A attack the enemy team.

"Shoot at Ryuuen's annoying head! Raha! Drop her!"

.

In an instant, as the match began throughout the field, Hirata's horse, Sudou, ran forward with all his strength. But a horseman from Class B stood in the street and went berserk in the middle. Yet...

"Don't get in my way!" Sudou, relentlessly, hit the body of the enemy horseman with all his might and made him lose his balance.

"Let's !?" The enemy, whose physique was weaker than Sudou, could do nothing but fall, ride, and the others.

"How about that, huh !?"

He stared at them like a ferocious beast and moved to the next prey. Generally hitting the body itself would be considered a cheating game, but the school has already made sure that there are no problems with it. The enemy team faltered from the strong impression they had received from the start.

That strategy cannot be completed without the physicality and personality that comes with it. But this aggressive strategy has its flaws. Even if we drop the rider, it won't count as a stolen headband. Instead, it would be considered self-destruction.The 50 points we should have gained would have ended up in vain. However, if we were to bet to steal their headbands, we would have a comparable amount of risk. Sudou's strategy is very precise but we can't let our guard down either.

In Class B, there are horse racers namely Kanzaki and in Class C, there are still horse racers that consist of a type of strong physical strength with Ryuuen as their rider. Groups D and A will have no chance of winning unless they are both guarded. Besides there is also a very scary one because we cannot read Ryuuen's mindset.

"Sudou-kun, let's beat the ones around us first. Just make Ryuuen-kun the last one"

"uh? Don't talk about something so boring! What we should be aiming for is the head of the general!" Not that I did not understand what Sudou was trying to say through his shout, but the wall in front of Ryuuen blocking us was a thick barrier.

"If we get carried away by our emotions here, we'll give him what he wants. Let's do what we have to do to win"

"Tch!"

.

In front of us, two horsemen from Class C started their attacks. Still holding a grudge when he was stepped on, Sudou held back his urge to attack Ryuuen.

"I see, first, all we have to do is defeat these people right!?" To defeat these enemies, focus is required. Hirata prevented it well.

We fell while capturing the flag before unleashing tremendous power, but this time, things will be different. The three horsemen from the combined Class B and Class C who had been hit by Sudou, showed a tremendous difference in strength.

Riding the waves, Katsuragi and the other Class A students manage to defeat Shibata and Kanzaki's horses despite losing three of their own. The only enemy left was the general, Ryuuen himself. On the other hand, Hirata and Katsuragi's horses survived and Class D had additional horsemen left, creating an ideal situation.

"Oraora, now 3 vs. 1 ? That's victory!" Turning a glance, the two horsemen, Katsuragi and Hirata, surrounded Ryuuen. The other horsemen as well, while keeping their distance, targeted Ryuuen.

.

From the fact that he was able to steal the headband, I could guess Ryuuen's horse strength to some extent, but even so, he would still be overwhelmed by the superiority of our numbers. Ryuuen did not panic. He's not distracted. Instead, he seemed to be enjoying this desperate situation.

There was no negligence and it seemed like he was not defeated. That kind of feeling. Hirata and Katsuragi, if the two of them attacked simultaneously, even if in the worst case scenario where one of them lost, the other could still steal Ryuuen's headband. Our victory is assured. It was precisely because of this kind of situation that Ryuuen was able to pierce through the gap in the hearts of his enemies.

"Keep saying that. I'm gonna hit you now."

"You sound quite arrogant and powerful just because of the horses. It feels pretty good looking down at the horse"

"Huh. Just because you're riding a horse doesn't mean you're everything"

"Heh..so this all means nothing unless we do it one on one”

.

"Aahh?"

"No, I mean, if you're going to say that you can't beat me otherwise 2 vs 1, how else. But 'winning' basically only means if you win one-on-one. Or will you be satisfied after defeating me with a pincer attack? "

"What the fuck...!”

"Don't, Sudou-kun. Bad idea if it gets instigated. Let's team up with Katsuragi-kun"

"..... You don't understand"

"You're the one who doesn't understand, Sudou. I know that you've taken care of those people, but back then, you must have used a lot of cowardly tactics, right? A friend I trust will never be outdone by a direct attack. " Some of those who were supporting Ryuuen's body also happened to be members of the basketball club that Sudou had trouble with.

"Don't joke. Those people are trash who can't even fight well"

"You're acting a little wild even though you have no proof. If you're saying that's not true, then face me one-on-one. And if you can defeat me, I will do anything, even if I bow down before you" Ryuuen said

"...understand. Don't forget those words, Ryuuen! You heard that, didn't you, Katsuragi? Don't interfere here!".

"What are you talking about? It's stupid to let this opportunity go. We have to use a pincer attack to make sure he loses"

"If you interfere, I'll destroy your horse" apparently he's eaten by Ryuuen's cheap bait. He already had nothing else on his mind except one on one. He understood well the fact that Sudou had always had a wild personality and was quick to fight.

"So you are determined to do that one on one no matter how it is, Sudou-kun?.... Well then, let's win" Hirata already knows Sudou's personality and behavior well. Once he had already decided, it would not be able to be stopped so easily. Perhaps he had already decided that continuing to try and persuade her would be useless, since he agreed with one opponentone.

"of course. Hirata, make sure your headband isn't stolen!" Along with Sudou's strong signal, the horse advanced forward. Katsuragi, with a bitter expression, decided to watch the progress of the battle. It was because if he interfered, Sudou would attack him even if he happened to be an ally.

.

Sudou charged forward and did a slam body. However, the enemy horsemen stood firm without being affected by it. Their strength is balanced. In the middle of the horse protecting Ryuuen was someone, half of whom I had heard, Yamada. His strength is incredible. Just like the rumors say, he is strong.

T/N: I don't know what slam body's indigo. Just look at google images slam body it to how.

Sudou clicked his tongue. I wonder if it was her frustration of not being able to handle it? Of course, Miyake and I, who were propping Hirata up from her waist, could not use as much horsepower as Sudou used. Suppose the strength of Sudou's horse is 10, then we are both 5. On the other hand, the part of Ryuuen's horse, Yamada, is 9 or 10. The rest of the formidable enemies are 7 and 8.

"intriguing. Hey, comeon. Or are you gonna lose to our Albert's powers?" Provoking Hirata, Ryuuen gestured to us without even setting any traps beforehand. To date, as far as the match goes,

Ryuuen had good luck with his opponents and in all the individual races he participated in, he finished first. He's quite athletic. He observed us after overwhelmingly avoiding the greetings from Hirata. While propping up Hirata, I looked at the battle of Ryuuen and as far as I could see, we were balanced.

.

It won't be weird. No matter which side wins. However, he was only aggressive with words because Ryuuen showed no signs of attacking us aimlessly. He maintained his stamina and maintained 1 attack for every 3 attacks from Hirata. In short, this fight was just a way for him and he saved energy for his fight later against Katsuragi and the others, who were currently standing.

It seemed like he was absolutely certain that he would not lose. If so, we should attack that gap. If we repeatedly attack then chances will present themselves to Hirata.

"Yet, Hirata?" Sudou said that in a sad voice while receiving most of the attacks coming from the enemy horsemen alone.

"A little more...!"

He stretched out his arm, mixing tricks into it as well. His arms then bowed and finally, managed to catch Ryuuen's headband. However, what he was holding was only a few centimeters from the tip. He tried his best to pull it further into his hand.

"!?" Hirata did take the headband, but he didn't make it that far because the headband slipped out of his hand.

Splice...
