The sunny boy in Cardcaptor Sakura

Chapter 473 Ball Skills Competition
"I really can't do anything about you. You really still need my help."

Xia Yu suppressed the secret joy in his heart, but still couldn't help feeling a little proud. As expected, it was absolutely impossible for him to become a passerby background board or something.

He is one of the indispensable protagonists!

While thinking about it, Xia Yu pulled out his magic wand out of thin air and waved it gently at the crowd that was gradually gathering together.

"Muggle shielding."

As the tip of the staff glowed slightly, the crowd that had originally approached suddenly remembered the most urgent matter under the effect of the expelling spell.

In a short while, the passers-by who had gathered around left in a hurry, and the Penguin Park was empty again, returning to its initial deserted state.

Looking at the empty penguin park, Sakura held her chest and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "That's great, it would be bad if we were discovered."

After that, she looked at Xia Yu with sparkling eyes and said, "Xia, your magic is still so convenient. If I..."

"Stop! Stop! Stop!"

Before Xiaoying could finish her words, Xia Yu had already raised his hand to stop her. He was really afraid that once Xiaoying said that, a transparent card related to blocking passers-by would appear in an instant.

"Eh?"

Sakura tilted her head in confusion, but since Xia Yu didn't let her say it, she decided not to say it. The important thing now was to restore the penguin park first.

"Wait a minute, I'll go and restore the penguin park first."

Sakura took out the reversal card she had just obtained, said something to the others, then hurriedly left the bushes and walked towards the penguin park.

She should quickly restore the park while no one is coming. She doesn't want to see the upside-down penguin park on the news later.

After the penguin park returned to its original state, several people secretly left. Before leaving, Xia Yu did not forget his promise and quietly carved a small word "miserable" on the body of the king penguin.

The penguin king has suffered many disasters, and this will definitely not be the last time. We just don’t know when the next time will come and what will happen.

Anyway, the one who gets hurt in the end will definitely be the king penguin.

King Penguin: I've gotten used to it. After all, there's a word 'miserable' carved on my body.

……

School day, early morning.

Classroom, Class 2, Grade 1.

"Good morning!!"

As the front door of the classroom opened, Sakura, who had greeted everyone loudly, panted and held the door open, looking exhausted.

"Good morning."

Looking at Sakura walking slowly towards her seat, Chiharu in the front row clapped her hands and said with a smile, "I saw you running for your life from the window, Sakura."

Tomoyo, who was sitting in the back row, also smiled and said hello: "Good morning, it's been a while since I saw Sakura arrive in the classroom on time."

Xia Yu in front of Zhi Shi also waved and said, "Good morning, Xiao Ying, you really haven't changed at all, always testing the edge of being late."

Facing everyone's teasing, Sakura smiled awkwardly. She didn't want to do that, but the bed was so warm.

It was Akiho, who had just arrived, who saw the breathless Sakura for the first time and hurried forward to ask with concern: "Sakura, are you okay?"

"Well... fortunately, I made it in time."

Sakura dragged her limp body and just sat down in her seat when the teacher pushed open the door and walked in.

"Good morning everyone, please take your seats."

"Okay!"
After all the students sat down neatly, the teacher put down the lesson plan in his hand, clapped his hands and said.

"Well, today, the third period starts with a ball game. While being careful about safety, let's work together and have fun."

"Okay!"
As the teacher announced the news, the students in the audience immediately started discussing excitedly. It was certainly worth getting excited about being able to play without having to attend classes.

Sakura, who already loves sports, looked at Tomoyo beside her with a little excitement and said, "I'm so excited."

Hearing this, Tomoyo smiled and said, "Come on, Sakura. I'm looking forward to your wonderful performance."

"I'll try my best. By the way, Tomoyo, do you participate in sports?"

"No, I would rather take pictures of you doing sports than participating in the events."

"Hmm? Does the school allow students to take photos during ball games?"

Sakura was a little surprised. It might be allowed in elementary school, but this is already junior high school. Is it possible that it is also allowed in middle school?
“Of course you can’t film it.”

Tomoyo shook his head regretfully, but soon smiled and said, "So I was prepared. Look, this portable camera."

Looking at the round camera that Tomoyo took out, Sakura blinked and asked in confusion: "Tomoyo, are you trying to disguise the camera as a surveillance camera to film?"

"what?"

Chishi was stunned for a moment. After a few seconds, she couldn't help but chuckled and said, "This won't work, right? We'll definitely be discovered."

“Then this camera…”

"Of course I have to rely on Kero! By the way, Sakura, did you bring Kero to school?"

"Ah, Xiao Ke is indeed here."

Sakura casually took over the bag containing her gym clothes, and Xiao Ke was hiding in it at the moment.

When Zhishi looked over, Xiaoke, who had heard the two talking quietly, waved and said, "Hey, Zhishi!"

"Good morning, Xiaoke."

"So Chise, do you want me to help you film with a portable camera? Of course I can, but I want to be paid." "Don't worry, I will definitely prepare snacks that will satisfy you."

"Oh! I knew Tomoyo, you're the best!"

Sakura looked at Tomoyo and Xiaoke who had reached a deal in front of her, and said embarrassedly, "So there's this trick. Tomoyo, you really worked hard for the filming."

"Haha~ After all, I will do anything to get the photo taken."

Hearing this, Sakura smiled helplessly, lowered her head and said to Xiao Ke: "In that case, Xiao Ke, just follow Zhi Shi and take good care of Xia-san. Don't let her down."

"oh--!"

"No, I want to take a picture of you, Sakura."

"Huh?"

"what?"

Not only Sakura, but even Kero looked over in surprise. Seeing that Tomoyo didn't look like he was joking, Kero scratched his head.

"Zhi Shi, did you have a fight with Xia Xiaozi?"

"No."

"Then why... Oh, I see. Xia kid didn't participate in sports, right? So there's no need to film him."

"No, Xia Jun participated in the badminton competition. Although he said that he wanted to participate in all the events, the school does not seem to allow students to participate in all of them. He felt a little regretful about this."

"This……"

After hearing Tomoyo's explanation, Sakura was equally puzzled and asked, "Then why did you let Xiaoke take pictures of me, Tomoyo? Don't you want to take pictures of Xia-san?"

Seeing that Sakura and Xiaoke were really confused, Tomoyo suddenly felt that Xiaoke was a bit pitiful. Xiaoke's presence was really too low, and even Xiaoke subconsciously ignored him.

"Um, Xia Jun has someone to help him take the photo, so don't worry."

"Someone helped him take the photo? Who?"

Xiaoying blinked, but Xiaoke suddenly remembered something and said with a fist: "Oh, that's right, there is Xiaoxi beside Xia boy, I didn't even think of it just now."

"Small department?"

When Sakura heard Xiaoke say this name, she finally realized that there was an elf named Xiaoxi beside classmate Xia.

She just doesn't appear very often. The last time I saw Xiao Xi was when she had just captured the Gale Card.

"I'm so embarrassed that I didn't even think of it..."

Sakura couldn't help but cover her face which was slightly reddening due to embarrassment. She actually forgot about it and had to be reminded by Xiaoke. It was so embarrassing.

Seeing that Sakura and Kero remembered, Tomoyo smiled slightly. It seems that although Xiaoxi has a low presence, he is at least remembered.

If she still needs to say the name directly to remind him, that would be really too pitiful.

……

Ball skills competition, basketball court.

After the third class, the ball skills competition was held as scheduled. The competition was mainly composed of teams from each class competing against each other to determine the winning class.

At this moment on the basketball court, Sakura joined the basketball team and even played an active role as a main player.

The game was a mixed match between boys and girls. Although she was a girl, Sakura, who was dribbling the basketball, was even more handsome than the other boys. She easily dribbled past the enemy, jumped up and shot, and scored successfully.

Seeing that Sakura's strength far surpassed theirs, the other members of the team immediately changed their strategy and passed the ball to Sakura after grabbing the basketball.

And Sakura did not disappoint everyone. Whether it was shooting or passing the ball to her teammates, she did not make any mistakes, which was perfect.

But such an outstanding performance would naturally attract the enemy's attention. Facing the enemy's encirclement and interception from the front and back, Sakura simply made a few fake moves and retreated with the ball.

By the time the enemy player reacted and tried to grab the ball, she made a fadeaway jump shot and threw the basketball towards the basket.

The basketball drew a perfect parabola in the air and then fell into the basket accurately.

Beep——!
The whistle blows and the game is over.

The referee waved his hand and announced: "Class 2, Grade 1 wins."

Upon hearing that her class had won, Sakura excitedly clasped hands with her female teammates and jumped up and down with excitement.

The other teammates also subconsciously gathered around and gave their praises.

A few minutes later, off the court.

Looking at Sakura approaching, Tomoyo stroked her face with one hand and said, "You fought well, Sakura."

“Because everyone is so awesome.”

"But Sakura is the most powerful one among them."

Tomoyo took Sakura's hand and smiled, "If Xia-kun was here, he would definitely shout out something like "Please teach me how to play basketball, Sakura-sensei." "

"Hehehe, Chise, you really understand Xia."

Sakura smiled shyly, then asked curiously, "But Chise, aren't you going to watch Xia play basketball?"

"Their badminton match won't start until later, so I'm here to watch your match first. Let's go watch it together later."

"Okay, then let's go and cheer for classmate Xia."
