CHAPTER 451: 129. TURNING POINT A

"Hentai Club! Win!!"

"Click~ Clack~"

Spencer and Jiang Yun easily defeated the Swimming Club, and she was wiping sweat with a towel at the sidelines while pulling out her prepared bag of snacks.

Inside were all kinds of chocolates and electrolyte water.

Yan Huan was sitting at the sidelines, fulfilling his duties as a referee, adding points for the Hentai Club.

Meanwhile, he observed everything happening around him.

"Spencer, since our eyes have met! Let’s have a hearty battle!!"

"Ah?"

Spencer hadn’t yet finished chewing the chocolate in her mouth, looking at the other clubs that were gathering around.

She then took a gulp of electrolyte water and followed them to draw lots.

As she passed by Yan Huan, her cheeks were puffed, and she sneaked a glance at him.

Her steps paused slightly, and she placed a piece of golden bomb pig biscuit on the armrest of his seat.

After doing all this, she hurriedly ran forward, not daring to look at Yan Huan.

"..."

Yan Huan picked up the biscuit again and couldn’t help but ask Miao in his mind,

"Miao, tell me... How did Spencer do it?"

"Do what, meow?"

Miao suddenly materialized, its fluffy body appearing in his arms, looking up at him.

"Those people she Plundered, she shouldn’t have known them before. So, how did she discern whether those people were genuine or not? Could it be because of the modifier?"

Miao, looking at Spencer standing in the backfield like a war goddess, shedding sweat, conjectured,

"It’s highly unlikely that the modifier would give her such a capability."

"So, it’s because of her own...?"

Yan Huan looked down at the empty cookie wrapper in his hand, folding it repeatedly until it became a small lump.

He faintly sensed that Spencer’s instinctual ability might be somehow linked to the modifier...

A hateful debuff?

Miao watched his actions and after a moment of silence, asked,

"...Feeling better, Yan Huan?"

"What’s feeling better?"

Miao turned back to look at Yan Huan and meowed,

"Because of Sakuragi Hitomi... No, or should I say, because of the issues with the modifier, you’ve been very tense recently, and some emotions are compressed deep inside you..."

"At Tong Yingying’s place you said nothing, but you voiced it out around Spencer... Maybe this will make you feel a bit better, or perhaps not."

Listening to Miao’s words, Yan Huan also recalled what he said to Spencer at noon.

Even now, he believes that even if those people were as fake and disgusting as Spencer described, it doesn’t justify Spencer’s actions of Plundering them.

However, he had to admit that among the many things he said, only some were true, the rest were simply the output of his own emotions.

Spencer, like a target representing "all modifier hosts," bore some anger that shouldn’t belong to her.

"Click~"

Yan Huan again tore open the wrapper and ate the golden bomb pig cookie.

"Hentai Club, win!!"

"Huff... Huff..."

Spencer, wiping her sweat, returned to her rest area, and before she could sit down to drink water, another club member approached,

"Spencer, we challenge your Hentai Club!"

"..."

Spencer wiped her lips and stood up again biting a chocolate.

Every time she left from Hentai Club to draw lots, she passed by Yan Huan and guiltily stuffed a golden bomb pig cookie for Yan Huan.

Yan Huan only ate two pieces, keeping the rest in the palm to examine.

"Hentai Club, lose!"

"Huff..."

"Spencer! Get up..."

"Hey! Enough, you guys?! One by one, it’s never-ending! We are already few in numbers; let us rest a bit!"

At the Hentai Club side, Jiang Yun looked angrily at the challenging clubs.

"I’m talking to Spencer, you rest are just trash accessories, it’s none of your business, why chime in?"

Left-handed Sakakawa Tatsuya and Nino didn’t say a word, but Jiang Yun clenched her teeth, almost ready to start a fight,

"What did you say, say that again?!"

"Sister Jiang, calm down! Calm down!"

An Le hurriedly stopped Jiang Yun to prevent a real fight from breaking out.

The continuous club battles had already depleted all of Spencer’s strength, initially as long as Spencer played, they would surely win, and they’d lose more without her.

But later on, even Spencer began to falter in the games.

Without plundering from others, the modifier no longer boosted her, with her weakness being her Physical Strength, she couldn’t withstand such repeated exhaustion.

The other people figured out this point and instead, the worse Spencer performed, the more they came to snatch points.

Spencer clenched her fists, her pale little face looked up at the boy in front, startling him, thinking Spencer was about to burst out,

"What do you want to do? Meet us on the field if you dare, don’t try anything else, I warn you!"

She took a few breaths, propped herself up on her knees and stood up,

"Fine, keep competing..."

"Stop."

Yan Huan’s voice suddenly rang out, catching the attention of the others.

"President..."

He rubbed his shoulders, looking at the other clubs still lined up to challenge, and said,

"You’re competing one after another non-stop, I’m tired just sitting here watching. There’s only half an hour left for today’s matches, come back tomorrow, I have some student council work to attend to."
