Tokyo: Restricted Tutor

"Of course, if Saki Rei-kun is tired, he can rest. Compared to winning the championship, I care more about Saki Rei-kun's safety."

Asahi Rinka added at this moment.

Hearing Asahi Rinka say this, Hojo Saki Rei couldn't help but feel very relieved.

Asahi Rinka was good in every way; she was just beautiful, gentle, and kind.

And she always acted very well-behaved in front of him.

This kind of girl was one that any boy couldn't refuse.

Even Hojo Saki Rei was no exception.

So when he saw Asahi Rinka caring about him so much, he only felt his heart warm.

"Damn it, why would such a gentle and kind girl care about and like a scumbag like me? Did I save the galaxy in my previous life?"

"No, it should be because I'm a transmigrator!"

Shaking his head, Hojo Saki Rei didn't continue thinking.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

When Esashi Ie Takuya saw Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka still so close at this moment, his eyes were almost spitting fire.

As time passed.

After about an hour and a half had passed, it was Hojo Saki Rei's group's turn.

Just before Hojo Saki Rei was about to compete, Asahi Rinka even gave him a big hug.

"Saki Rei-kun, be careful."

When Asahi Rinka said this, her face was full of concern.

When Hojo Saki Rei heard Asahi Rinka say this, he didn't pay much attention, just casually said "Don't worry," and walked towards the starting line.

"You must be Hojo Saki Rei, right? I'm curious if you can beat us in running too."

Just as Hojo Saki Rei had arrived at the starting line, a boy who looked quite sturdy suddenly said this.

This boy stood to Hojo Saki Rei's left, not far apart. When he looked at Hojo Saki Rei, his eyes were full of contempt.

Hearing the boy in front of him speaking, Hojo Saki Rei couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Student, do I know you?"

Hojo Saki Rei asked.

Being inexplicably told something like this by someone else made Hojo Saki Rei feel somewhat speechless.

"We don't know each other, but I used to like Shiratori Kashiwa, and I was also one of Shiratori Kashiwa's suitors."

"Since she chose you, I naturally trust her judgment. I just hope you don't disappoint her, otherwise, I'll look down on you."

Facing Hojo Saki Rei's question, the boy said directly.

After hearing the boy say this, Hojo Saki Rei felt even more speechless.

He didn't expect that it was already the second year of high school, almost the third year, yet this boy was still so childish.

Not to mention that Hojo Saki Rei was not Shiratori Kashi's boyfriend at all and had no other relationship with Shiratori Kashi.

Even if Shiratori Kashi was his girlfriend, what right did others have to say anything about him?

Just because he couldn't run faster than the other person, did that mean he wasn't worthy of Shiratori Kashi's love?

If something like this were said out loud, it would definitely make others burst into laughter.

"What's wrong? Not saying a word, are you already scared before it even started?"

Seeing that Hojo Saki Rei didn't respond, the boy spoke again at this moment.

"I just don't want to bother with an idiot."

Facing the boy's provocation, Hojo Saki Rei really didn't want to bother with him.

But he wasn't the type to let others talk about him without fighting back.

"Who are you calling an idiot? I didn't expect Shiratori Kashiwa to fancy someone as impolite as you."

"As a man, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"As long as you lose to me in this race, then you break up with Shiratori Kashiwa and say you're not worthy of her."

"If I lose to you, from now on, no matter who talks about you, I will stand by your side and stop them for you, not letting anyone disturb you and Shiratori Kashiwa."

Hearing Hojo Saki Rei call him an idiot, that student seemed somewhat angry, but he wasn't an idiot. Instead, he proposed a bet with Hojo Saki Rei at this moment.

Hearing him say this, Hojo Saki Rei, who originally didn't want to bother with him at all, agreed without hesitation.

Although Hojo Saki Rei didn't take any of these people seriously, if he didn't do anything, there might be constant trouble, which was not the result Hojo Saki Rei wanted.

"Alright, if that's the case, then it's settled."

After speaking, Hojo Saki Rei ignored him.

And after hearing Hojo Saki Rei agree so readily, the boy couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.

"Idiot, you agreed to this. Don't go back on your word if you lose, that wouldn't be manly."

As if afraid Hojo Saki Rei would go back on his word, he provoked Hojo Saki Rei again.

"Don't think I'm as shameless as you guys. Shiratori Kashiwa has already said she has someone she likes, yet you people are still pestering her."

"Don't worry, I won't lose to an idiot like you."

Hojo Saki Rei retorted.

Just as Hojo Saki Rei's words fell, the countdown also began at this moment.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"Bang!"

With the sound of the starting gun, everyone in the third group ran out quickly like arrows shot from a bow at this moment.

Facing all this, Hojo Saki Rei didn't seem so anxious.

This was a 3000-meter race, not a 100-meter sprint. Running all out from the start and overestimating one's endurance would only result in seeing opponents slowly approach and eventually overtake oneself.

As a transmigrator, how could Hojo Saki Rei not know about this situation?

So when he saw those students rushing out quickly, he just ran forward at his usual pace.

For a moment, Hojo Saki Rei's speed began to form a sharp contrast with the speed of the other students.

When they saw the other students running forward with all their might, while Hojo Saki Rei deliberately slowed down, the students and teachers watching the race also started discussing it at this moment.

"Which class is this student from? Why is his speed so slow?"

"I know who he is, isn't he Hojo Saki Rei from Class 3, Grade 2?"

"What do you know? Looking at you, you probably haven't participated in a long-distance race, have you? Long-distance running is about endurance, not explosiveness. Whoever can last until the end is the final winner. Don't look at how fast the other students are; after running for a while, their speed will get slower and slower, and it might not even be as good as this student's."

"What's going on? Is Hojo Saki Rei injured? Why is his condition so much worse than yesterday?"

"I also find it strange. Could it be that after Hojo Saki Rei won three championships, he doesn't want to win another one?"

"..."

By the side of the soccer field.

The sound of the students' discussions came from the riverbank, but Asahi Rinka was completely unconcerned about it.

Although it had just started and the other students were already far ahead of Hojo Saki Rei.

But Asahi Rinka also had some understanding of running.

Most importantly, since Hojo Saki Rei had promised her he could win this championship, she believed Hojo Saki Rei would definitely be able to do it.

Similar to Asahi Rinka, the teachers on the side also silently nodded to themselves at this moment when they saw that Hojo Saki Rei hadn't run forward with all his might like the other students from the start.

As experienced individuals, they naturally knew that long-distance running was not about the initial speed.

As time passed, after running almost half the distance, some students could no longer maintain their previous speed, and their pace was gradually slowing down.

The student who had made a bet with Hojo Saki Rei earlier, his speed had already begun to decrease sharply at this point.

However, he had given his all from the start, so at this moment, he wasn't afraid at all that Hojo Saki Rei could overtake him.

"That guy must still be eating dust behind me. Wanting to beat me is simply a dream. With his speed, wanting to win this competition is truly ridiculous."

The boy thought this while turning his head, trying to find Hojo Saki Rei's figure on the soccer field track.

However, at this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew past him.

By the time he reacted, he saw that someone had overtaken him.

Looking closely, that person was Hojo Saki Rei, who had been far behind him before this.

When he discovered that the person who had overtaken him was Hojo Saki Rei, he was clearly startled by Hojo Saki Rei's speed.

However, he wasn't too flustered.

After all, he was already almost two-thirds of the way through the race, and judging by his previous speed, Hojo Saki Rei should be one lap behind him, which was a full four hundred meters.

Although Hojo Saki Rei had now overtaken him, he still needed to run another four hundred meters to catch up to him, so he wasn't too worried about it.

It wasn't just him; even many of the students who had been running ahead of Hojo Saki Rei secretly cursed Hojo Saki Rei as an idiot when they saw him only starting to exert himself now.

But gradually, they discovered that Hojo Saki Rei's speed seemed to be getting faster and faster.

And soon, Hojo Saki Rei's speed had actually exceeded their initial speed.

After seeing this, the students who were in the same group as Hojo Saki Rei suddenly panicked.

At this moment, they all, one after another, gathered their strength again, wanting to finish the remaining distance as quickly as possible.

But from the very beginning, they had already expended a lot of physical strength, so much so that even if they wanted to run faster, their legs seemed to no longer obey their commands.

After discovering this, these people suddenly became even more panicked.

"That's Hojo Saki Rei! His speed is so fast!"

Outside the soccer field.

At this moment, on Shiratori Kashi's side, they only realized that Hojo Saki Rei's speed was getting faster and faster, and finally, when he rushed past them, he directly stirred up a gust of wind.

In just the blink of an eye, Hojo Saki Rei had run a great distance. The girls surrounding Shiratori Kashi couldn't help but exclaim.

Originally, when they saw Hojo Saki Rei's speed was so slow, they all thought it was impossible for Hojo Saki Rei to win this championship.

But now, seeing Hojo Saki Rei surprisingly overtake one by one, and his speed getting faster and faster, they were all shocked by Hojo Saki Rei's speed.

"This is too amazing! I thought before that he wouldn't be able to win this championship, but I didn't expect his speed could become so fast. How much time has passed, and he's already overtaken so many people."

"As expected, Shiratori Kashiwa has good taste. The boyfriend she found is different."

"Do you think the hearts of the students who were overtaken by Hojo Saki Rei are bleeding right now?"

"..."

Hearing the conversations of her classmates beside her, Shiratori Kashi's lips also curved slightly upward at this moment.

However, when she saw the direction of Class Three not far away, a girl with a pure appearance and considerable beauty was actually jumping and cheering for Hojo Saki Rei, her smile slowly faded quite a bit.

Because Shiratori Kashi had also recognized that the female student cheering for Hojo Saki Rei was Asahi Rinka!

Not far away.

Seeing that Shiratori Kashi's eyes seemed full of concern when she looked at Hojo Saki Rei, Tanaka Taiwa's heart felt even more pain.

Most importantly, just by looking at Hojo Saki Rei's current speed, he was already intimidated.

Before this, he had been thinking of winning the championship in this long-distance race, but now, he no longer had that confidence.

Hojo Saki Rei's speed was simply too terrifying!

"Go, Saki Rei-kun!"

"Go, Saki Rei-kun! The championship is yours!"

Seeing that Hojo Saki Rei only had the last few dozen meters left before crossing the finish line, Asahi Rinka became even more excited.

Of course, it wasn't just her.

At this moment, all the female students in Class 3, Grade 2 were also very excited.

When they heard Asahi Rinka shouting loudly, they couldn't help but follow Asahi Rinka's rhythm and cheer for Hojo Saki Rei.

Hearing the cheers in his ears, Hojo Saki Rei didn't show any intention of slowing down and rushed directly towards the finish line.

"Yuta Minako Sensei, this student is from your class, right? I didn't expect your class to be hiding such a dark horse. In previous years, why didn't your class let this student participate in the sports festival?"

Where the teachers were.

At this moment, a male teacher looked at Tomoda Minako with eyes full of envy.
