Chapter 863: We represent justice! You are sophistry!
Other baseball team members also booed one after another.
"Right! Drop out if you lose! Very fair!"
"One for one, don't be a coward, do you dare?"
"If you are a man, have some backbone and agree to it!"
Natsume Chikage heard the other party's near-coercive request, and couldn't help but be stunned, then laughed as if he had heard something extremely absurd:
"Really... annoying provocation."
"First."
"The condition you proposed: you win, I drop out; I win, you drop out."
"The last time was fine, the situation was more complicated. But this time I really can't figure out what substantial benefit agreeing to this competition has for me."
"Second."
"Baseball is a professional field you have trained in for many years and immersed yourself in."
"You ask me to go to the field you are most familiar with, using the way you are most good at, to duel with you?"
"Why isn't it the other way around, you come to the field I am most good at—the shogi board, to play against me?"
"If you can win against me using shogi, wouldn't it also be able to 'vindicate' your baseball team, proving that your baseball team is not just about muscles, and can defeat the other side in the shogi field they are good at, isn't it?"
A part of the student council room was Natsume Chikage's supporters or girls who secretly admired him. Hearing his clear and logical counter-question, someone couldn't help but speak out in support.
"That's right! Why should Brother Natsume take such an unnecessary risk to agree to you?"
"Exactly, Brother Natsume is originally a shogi player. Asking a shogi player to compare baseball with a professional baseball player, what kind of skill is this? Do you still want your face?"
"What's more, the baseball team took the initiative to provoke last time, and set up the gambling game themselves! Since they lost, they should be willing to admit defeat and honestly admit it! Now it's good, they are not convinced after losing, and they still have the face to come to find trouble again? Even reversing black and white and asking others to be responsible, it's really too shameless!"
"Senior Shinohara, according to what you said, if you are a man, have the guts to compare shogi with Brother Natsume! Does your baseball team dare?"
Shinohara Shingo and those baseball team members who booed were said to have red and white faces by this series of questions and sarcasm, as if they had been slapped in public, their momentum suddenly withered, and for a while they were speechless, not knowing how to refute.
Zhongdao Wushi didn't even have to mention it. From the beginning, he wished he could bury his head in the ground, only feeling that his cheeks were burning, and it was shameful to the extreme.
This matter was indeed caused by him.
Since that public defeat, he had nothing to say, and had no intention of continuing to provoke Natsume Chikage.
After all, the power of the student council, whether it was Hanyu Jianghui or the unfathomable Jinweitong, none of them were people he could afford to offend.
If he really wanted to continue to entangle, he had to weigh whether his life was hard enough.
So he didn't want to get involved in this muddy water at all, or rather, he didn't agree with this matter at all.
It was just that hindered by the tough attitude of Shinohara Shingo and other main players of the baseball team, he was forced to be pulled over.
Plus this storm was indeed caused by his challenge, and he couldn't shirk his responsibility, so he had to bite the bullet and appear.
As for the development of the matter to be so ugly, even if he wanted to mediate... it was no longer something he could control or intervene in.
Vice Student Council President Hanyu Jianghui also spoke again at this time. He adjusted his glasses, pondered, and his tone was fair and serious:
"According to the facts, the source of this storm was indeed the baseball team's Zhongdao-tongxue taking the initiative to go to the shogi club to provoke."
"Reasonably and legally, Brother Natsume was in a passive position to fight at that time."
"And now, you still want to take advantage of the subsequent public opinion influence caused by this storm to provoke again, and even propose an extreme competition with dropping out as a bet..."
He shook his head, his gaze sweeping over the baseball team members.
"This is indeed a bit unreasonable, violating the spirit of fair competition and club harmony."
Shinohara Shingo's face flushed red, and he argued angrily with his neck stuck:
"But... but our baseball team did indeed suffer from a damaged reputation because Natsume Chikage won against Zhongdao, and suffered from groundless abuse, isn't this a fact?" ===== CHAPTER 864 =====
