RNP Chapter 342 Joint Arm Wrestling Competition
Chapter 342 Joint Arm Wrestling Competition
The first-ever Student Union x Classics Department Arm Wrestling Competition officially begins on this crisp autumn day outdoors!
However, before that, Uchiha Ryo accompanied Chitanda to her warehouse to bring out a special platform for arm wrestling.
"You even have this in your house?!"
Shirogane Miyuki couldn't help but complain.
Chitanda smiled. "Because I was curious about everything when I was little, my family would buy me anything I wanted."
Curiosity has now shifted from objects to events...
Chitanda drew lots from the table. "Then let's not delay and start the group competition!"
"Wait a moment!"
Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly interrupted the group preparing to draw lots, then raised her wrist and said, "If I didn't tell you, I doubt many of you would know that there's an art to arm wrestling."
"I don't want to win unfairly, so I thought I'd tell you first."
Hiratsuka-sensei's arm wrestling mini-lesson~
When arm wrestling, keep your shoulders level, elbows in front of your body, abdomen pressed against the table, and the leg on the same side as the force exertion extended forward.
Using the correct posture is the only way to effectively use the strength of your whole body, not just your arms.
"I see. Professor Hiratsuka really does know some things that are useless to ordinary people..."
Uchiha Ryo wasn't interested in arm wrestling, but because Chitanda insisted on dragging him along, he had no choice but to participate.
Hiratsuka Shizuka narrowed her eyes. "Uchiha, you seem pretty arrogant. I look forward to facing you in the finals, but don't be so sure you don't fall short and can't even beat the girls~"
"There's no need to worry about Hiratsuka-sensei."
Meanwhile, Fujiwara Chika had already drawn up a ranking list on a piece of paper. "Very good, then the goal of this competition is to determine the first and last place winners!"
Kaguya Shinomiya glanced at her wrist. "For competitions, all you need to do is determine the winner, right?"
"No! I want to see who's stronger and who's weaker, so there must be a ranking. I will never be ranked behind Ishigami Yu. This society, which lets the weak live in ignorance and without any awareness of their own weakness, needs to be changed!"
Fujiwara Chika was full of fighting spirit, seemingly convinced that she would never lose.
In the first round, Chika Fujiwara will face Kaguya Shinomiya.
"Excuse me, but normally when arm wrestling, you use your right hand, right?" Kaguya Shinomiya symbolically clenched her left fist.
"But I'm left-handed, so my left hand is relatively stronger."
Is that so? Fujiwara Chika stroked her chin, lost in thought, while Ishigami Yu seized the opportunity to speak.
"Why doesn't Fujiwara-senpai just use his left hand too? That way, if he loses, he can just say he didn't have enough strength in his left hand~"
Fujiwara Chika frowned. "No! A competition is a competition, and we must adhere to the same rules. So, I'm sorry, Kaguya-san, we'll settle this with our right hands."
Kaguya Shinomiya nodded. "That's fine too. After all, I was forced to write with my right hand when I was little, but my left hand is a bit stronger."
The two stood on either side of the competition platform, with Rumi Tsurumi standing in the very center.
"Alright, for the first match, get set... go!"
Fujiwara Chika's expression was extremely serious. "Kaguya-san, even if it's you, I won't hold back. Let's have a fair and just duel."
"Okay, please."
Kaguya Shinomiya maintained her smile, her adorable, dependent demeanor making Chika Fujiwara almost reluctant to lay a hand on her... Wait, how could that be!
All talk is meaningless in the face of victory. Fujiwara Chika will not lose to anyone until she defeats that annoying Ishigami Yu!
However—he had already used all his strength, but the arm in front of him... Kaguya Shinomiya stood there like a rock.
Eh...why? Fujiwara Chika's eyes grew increasingly vacant, and with Shinomiya Kaguya's expression that seemed to say, "Is that all you've got?", Fujiwara Chika's fighting spirit was gradually shattered...
As the ace of the archery club, Kaguya Shinomiya uses a longbow with a draw weight of approximately 15 kilograms. Although she draws the bow with her left hand most of the time, she also frequently trains her right arm to avoid any sense of incoordination caused by a large difference in strength between her left and right hands.
Thus, Fujiwara Chika suffered a regrettable defeat.
Dejected, Fujiwara Chika lay on the picnic mat, unwilling to get up, when Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly spoke.
"Please don't do what Fujiwara did just now. She held my hand closer to her fingertips. According to the simplest leverage principle, it's obviously easier to exert force when holding the front part of your hand. Even if you sneakily move your hand up when I'm not looking, that's not advisable."
Fujiwara Chika rolled over and happened to see Ishigami Yu looking at her with a half-smile.
"Fujiwara-senpai~ Didn't you promise to beat me?! How come you fell in the first round, and you even lost while using your right hand against a left-handed person? You had such an advantage, and you still lost! Ugh, you even cheated and used tricks! You really wanted to win that badly?! What a despicable person you are!"
"Does cheating feel as natural to you as breathing?! Oh ho ho, I just recorded it on my phone, I'll send it to you later!"
With her head down and tears in her eyes, Fujiwara Chika threw herself into the arms of Hayasaka Ai, who was closest to her.
"Waaaah—I'm so sorry!"
"Even if you apologize, it won't change the fact that you just cheated." Ishigami Yu continued to kick him while he was down.
As the only student council member who can verbally defeat the chaotic Fujiwara, Ishigami Yu's honed taunting skills honed in online games will never let such a cheater get away with it!
In the second round, Yu Ishigami will face Ai Hayasaka.
Yu Ishigami, who had just been mocking her, couldn't help but shake his head. "My opponent is a girl, so let's make it clear that I'll be giving it my all."
"Oh, please make yourself at home."
Hayasaka Ai pushed away Fujiwara Chika from her arms and then went to the opposite side of Ishigami Yu.
"Go Hayasaka! Break this guy's arm!" Fujiwara Chika stood behind, acting as a cheerleader.
"Hey... Ishigami Yu, who considers himself to be at the national average male strength level, moves his right wrist."
Even if he's terrible at it, he wouldn't lose to a girl, right? Except for Hiratsuka-sensei, who's a female monster. That's what Ishigami Yu thinks, but his list of monsters might be updated after today.
Hayasaka Ai, who always presents herself as a gyaru (a Japanese term for a sexy girl) at school, is actually this strong? This was Ishigami Yu's inner thought one second after the start of the match.
What the heck... is the guy in front of me really human?! This oppressive feeling... is it definitely not a tiger that came down from the mountain?! This was Ishigami Yu's mental reaction three seconds into the match.
The second round of the competition has now concluded, with Hayasaka Ai emerging as the unsurprising winner.
"Serves you right!! Hahaha, so you mocked me, aren't you just like me, all talk and no action?" Fujiwara Chika pointed at Ishigami Yu's head.
"Stop arguing, according to the rules, the two of us who lose will also have a match!" Ishigami Yu was convinced by Hayasaka Ai, but he just couldn't accept Fujiwara Chika's superiority!
Next up is the third round, with Shirogane Miyuki facing Hiratsuka Shizuka.
In the fourth round, Chitanda Eru faced Amakusa Shinobu.
In the fifth round, Yukino Yukinoshita faced off against Ryo Uchiha.
As for Shirogane Kei, he did not participate in the competition because he was defeated by Fujiwara Chika at the beginning, so he and Rumi and the others became referees.
