Chapter 222 Ha was suppressed
"Oh ha yo~"

He ran into a few girls at the school gate, all of whom were his classmates. Kazama Sakura greeted the boy in a very generous and open manner.

Several girls nearby also looked at the boy with smiles.

Gen Tsukino was fine; he didn't seem like the kind of boy who would become unusually shy or awkward at the slightest hint of romance at his age.

"Good morning."

Before Kazama Sakura could speak, several girls next to her asked with bright, sparkling eyes.

"Did Tsukino-kun participate in several events at today's sports festival?"

The boy nodded. "There weren't many, just four."

"Wow. Four is a lot. And Tsukino-kun isn't a sports student, won't he get tired of signing up for so many?"

"Which four? Which four? We'll go cheer for Tsukino-kun with Sakura!"

"It's alright, it should be about right. Good luck with your help, thank you."

"You're welcome~ After all, she's Sakura's good friend~"

The emphasis on the word "good friends" clearly narrows down their relationship.

Sakura Kazama blushed slightly, then smiled and said, "He doesn't lack people to cheer him on. Let's go."

She spoke casually, but her feet unconsciously led her to the boy's side. She naturally took the closest position to the boy.

"Speaking of which, there are so many people at school today."

indeed.

It is clear that in addition to the many new banners in the school celebrating this sports festival, there are also some supply points set up to provide water and other supplies for visitors to watch the sports festival.

Then, there were many more luxury cars parked at the school gate, and many more strangers entering the school.

The promotional video that Saionji asked us to film a few days ago was already completed, and it mentioned how much importance Showa Private High School attaches to this sports festival. Given the school's financial resources, it's normal for them to invite many celebrities and politicians.

Therefore, the school reminded all students well in advance to pay attention to their words and actions during the sports festival, especially those troublemakers.

"Yes, quite a few students' parents also came."

At a glance, you can see that many students have brought their families with them.

That's quite normal, after all, Zhaori Private High School is large enough to accommodate more than a few people. Moreover, most of the students who can get into this school come from wealthy and influential families, which adds to the prestige of this sports festival.

"Aren't you nervous with so many people watching?"

The girl asked with a smile.

Gen Tsukino shook his head and swayed, showing no signs of nervousness about going on stage today.

"What's there to be nervous about? I have my cabbage strategy."

"The cabbage tactic?"

"Yeah, haven't you heard? The performers convince themselves not to be nervous by simply seeing the audience below as cabbages."

"Pfft, isn't that too old-fashioned? Besides, I don't think you need to do that at all, given your mental fortitude."

"Wow, you have quite a lot of confidence in me."

The boy said with a smile.

Kazama Sakura smiled as she looked at the boy's handsome face, "If you don't even have confidence in yourself, then the whole world is doomed."

"Hahaha, that's a heavy compliment, but it's not bad."

"She got the benefit but is still acting innocent~"

Come to the classroom.

Everything was normal in the classroom, except that there were no classes for the next few days, as everyone was focused on the upcoming sports festival.

As soon as Tsukino Gen arrived, Suzuki and Miura Akihiko quickly surrounded him.

"Tsukino, I checked the schedule. There's a 4x100 relay race this morning, and the ball game starts at 2 PM. We're playing against the Blue Team. Will that cause any problems? If you need a substitute, I'll make the personnel arrangements right now."

Clearly, this time it's the same situation as with the basketball team.

Everyone recognized the importance of this sports festival, so both the basketball team and the school's soccer team took it very seriously, and the rewards were quite generous. It's said that the school even invited some well-known scouts, coaches, and star players from across the country to watch the games.

The atmosphere was excellent, which naturally made students like Suzuki, who were already members of the school team, quite interested.

They all thought that if they performed well, they might be spotted by scouts from domestic clubs.

Of course, a monster like Tsukino Gen is the first choice, but everyone knows that this boy doesn't seem to have any intention of developing a professional career. What if they pick up some leftover soup or water?
Achieving good results is of course the most important thing.

Winning a championship is not just about the money; it also brings the reward of being featured in the news, which is even more important for students with career plans in this field.

Gen Tsukino shook his head. "It won't have much of an impact, but if you guys want to show more of yourselves, I can come on as a substitute, no problem."

He didn't try to give any subtle hints or beat around the bush; he understood Suzuki's thoughts and simply said it directly.

Although Suzuki was a little embarrassed by his directness, he was glad that Suzuki took the initiative to speak up, otherwise he would have seemed quite 'despicable' if he had tried to figure out how to say it himself.

So Suzuki stopped hiding it and hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"This time, several classes are grouped together to form teams, so the level of play will definitely be higher than last time. Most of the players selected are members of the soccer club and regular players from the school team. So, you won't be playing in the first half, and you can play in the second half, okay?"

"It's alright, you can arrange it."

Gen Tsukino said indifferently, and then returned to his seat.

After Tsukino Gen left, Suzuki breathed a sigh of relief. Miura, who was next to him, looked at him and said, "I told you, Tsukino isn't as difficult to talk to as you think. He won't be playing professionally in the future, so he'll definitely agree."

Suzuki shook his head. "Even though that's what I say, I still feel incredibly sorry for him."

Miura Akihiko patted the boy on the shoulder. "Why think so much? He often tells me that it's not wrong for people to think more about themselves, as long as it doesn't hurt others."

Suzuki looked at Miura Akihiko strangely, "I feel like you're becoming more and more of a fan of Tsukino, even quoting famous sayings, huh?"

"Bullshit! He's my buddy, okay? He only gets to eat so well because of me!"

"It sounds even more like it now, hahaha."

"Fuck off!"

……

When it was time for the opening ceremony of the sports festival, all the students gathered on the huge playground. With the arrival of autumn, the summer heat was gradually fading, and the bright sunshine was not scorching, seemingly the perfect weather for sports.

The school leaders gave a speech, but that wasn't anything important.

The important thing is that Tsukino Gen, who was below, clearly saw Asagiri Jun's figure appear prominently on the platform.

Dressed in a Chanel-inspired outfit, looking every bit the elegant lady, Jun Asagiri sat there chatting and laughing with the woman beside her, seemingly quite familiar with each other.

This opening ceremony was not just a simple formality; after all the leaders from various parties gave speeches, there was even a performance by an idol group.

Gen Tsukino has no interest in or knowledge of popular idol groups.

But Miura Akihiko, who was standing next to him, seemed to be going crazy.

"Holy crap! It's Hoshina-chan! The one with the twin tails! Bro, could you please get me her autograph later? Please!"

Gen Tsukino looked at the other person with disdain, "Can't you go by yourself? What do you want me to do?"

"You're so handsome, you're sure to get an autograph without being refused."

"No, this is too dangerous."

"Danger?" Miura Akihiko looked at the boy, puzzled.

Gen Tsukino let out a long sigh and looked at the energetic girl group dancing over there.

"If you accidentally fall in love with me, you'll be very difficult to deal with."

Miura Akihiko:.
What a show-off!
However, compared to Miura Akihiko's excitement, the sheer number of boys raising their arms, shouting, and even singing along was astonishing. It resembled a large-scale fan meeting.

Repressed.

It's too depressing.

It's so depressing.

Please continue to support us!

When the anime-style dance and singing finally came to an end, the sports festival officially began.

Tsukino Gen's project was still early, almost the last one of the morning, so he leisurely strolled around the playground. Of course, he didn't ask for Hoshina-chan's autograph; he'd been getting too many 'eyes' on him lately, so he had to be careful.

"Huh? Tsukino?"

For example, you might be walking along when someone calls your name.

Gen Tsukino turned around in surprise, because the voice was both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar, and for a moment he didn't realize who it was.

Turning my head, I saw a beautiful head of long rose gold hair in the sunlight.

Her tall figure, dressed in a white fitted T-shirt and slim-fit jeans, exudes a very Korean style.

It perfectly showcases this woman's great figure.

"Ayaka Miura?"

Her exquisite makeup gave her a vibrant air. The woman walked up to the boy and said with a smile.

"You didn't expect me to come?"

Gen Tsukino thought for a moment, "Miura seems to have signed up for the high jump. Are you here to watch your brother's competition?"

After all, it would be difficult for Akihiko Miura to make a formal appearance on the basketball team, so he simply chose other sports.

Ayaka Miura smiled and said, "That's only one aspect. More importantly, I heard you've signed up for quite a few events, and I'd like to see how you compete."

"What's so interesting about this?"

Ayaka Miura blinked. "And I've also been asked by someone to film your sports competition and send it back to them."

"Kiyono told you?"

I immediately thought of that girl.

With her legs injured and her own competition to attend to, it was impossible for her to bring her along, even if she was genuinely interested. However, she probably didn't realize that this school was already a massive battleground, where it was absolutely impossible to bring in a new woman.

I never expected that there would be such a master.

"That's clever, you figured it out right away."

Ayaka Miura said with a smile, wondering if this woman had revealed her relationship with Rin Asagiri. However, her intentions were definitely not just about filming footage for Mitsuki Kiyono.

Gen Tsukino nodded. "Alright, go ahead and take the pictures if you want."

As Ayaka Miura drew closer, Gen Tsukino could immediately smell the light fragrance emanating from her. It had a hint of yuzu and a touch of floral notes. Overall, it was a youthful and vibrant scent.

"What if I accidentally capture something I shouldn't have?"

Her smile was mischievous and had a hidden meaning.

Gen Tsukino feigned confusion and asked, "What is there that we shouldn't film at school?"

"For example, the way other girls are with you, like rich girls or something."

Tsukino Gen chuckled and said, "I asked you to film me exercising, not to follow me around like a paparazzi, right? You're not a paparazzi, and besides, Miss Tsukino is probably quite busy; she's not interested in any sports."

I was just saying that.

Tsukino Gen's phone rang.

Upon closer inspection, he saw it was the young lady's phone number. He glanced at Ayaka Miura, who was smiling in front of him.

The woman smiled and said, "Aren't you going to answer? I'm not the kind of person who would make things difficult for you to the point that you're afraid to answer the phone, am I?"

Gen Tsukino sighed and then answered the phone.

Soon, a girl's voice came from inside.

Concise and concise.

"Come over here to the podium for a moment, my mom wants to see you."
