I'm here to form a band, what do you want to do!

"Damn it! We're all high school students, why is there such a huge gap?"

……

During morning meeting time, a large crowd of people walked out of the classroom and headed towards the gymnasium in the southwest corner of the school.

As the teachers tried hard to maintain order, the discussion in the crowd became louder.

After all, if we were to discuss the most boring things in school life, listening to the principal's tedious and boring conversations before various activities would probably be the first choice.

Ito Rin looked around boredly and saw many familiar faces.

It was not until they entered the gymnasium and sat down in their respective class seats that they realized their class was with the second grade.

"Good morning, senior." Ito Rin greeted Yamada Ryo next to her.

"morning."

She looked like she was still sleepy. She glanced at Ito Rin, yawned, and leaned drowsily on Hongxia's shoulder.

The pure black shiny knee-length pleated skirt and the slender legs were tightly wrapped in black tights, without revealing the fair skin.

Although Yamada Ryo has a strong personality and often wears men's uniforms, he still has to wear school uniform normally in school.

However, Shimokitazawa High School does not have any restrictions on clothing such as pantyhose. After all, female high school students in Tokyo have the courage to wear stockings in winter, and pantyhose are actually a little safer.

On the podium, the silver-haired old principal had a speech in front of him that didn't look long but seemed to last forever.

"On this golden autumn day, all the teachers and students of Shimokitazawa, filled with excitement and trepidation, joyfully welcome the 35th Sports Festival..."

Because there are teachers to maintain order, Ito Rin is not

Because he dared to be too arrogant, he had to constantly harass Yamada Ryo who was next to him.

"Senior sister..."

"Senior sister..."

"Senior sister..."

At this moment, Yamada Ryo looked at the old principal on the stage with lifeless eyes, and felt that even the old man's clichés were more pleasing than the buzzing of flies around him.

"Don't you have anything to do?"

Finally unable to bear his harassment, Yamada Ryo scolded him in a low voice.

"Nonsense, if I had something to do, I would still come to chat with you." Ito Rin also answered in a low voice.

It was because the person sitting next to him was not a boy, but a girl from the same class that he was not very familiar with. Instead of thinking about chatting with them, he might as well harass Yamada Ryo.

At least Yamada Ryo didn't show a crazy expression, and suddenly he laughed terrifyingly while talking.

“…” She was speechless.

Fortunately, even a speech that sounds like it will never end will eventually come to an end.

The principal put away his speech with a reluctant look, marking the official start of the sports festival.

At Shimokitazawa High School's sports festival, because there was too much time and not enough events, the competitions were held one by one.

The advantage of this is that when throwing the shot put, there is no need to worry about it hitting the athletes running on the track.

As the students in the gymnasium move towards the playground, the athletes who will participate in the next competition need to change their clothes.

The running events that Ito Rin and Hongxia participated in were both held on the first day, especially Hongxia's 100-meter race, which was the highlight that was about to take place.

And because of the despicable plan of the beautiful class teacher, Ito Rin chose two competitions.

One was a four-person relay race, including him, Hiroshi Nagasaki, Takao Ando, ​​and another boy in the class.

Another one is the 5,000-meter race that absolutely no one wants to participate in.

The appearance of this event in a high school competition is simply inhumane. Those who come to participate in the event from each class are basically the unlucky ones who are excluded.

As for Ito Rin, no one knew who betrayed his extraordinary physical strength and his frequent long-distance running, so he didn't even have a chance to escape.

The two races were in the afternoon, so while the athletes were changing clothes, Ito Rin found a seat and sat down. Not long after, Aoyama Chizuru pulled her best friend over to sit over.

"Is Ito okay?" Chizuru Aoyama asked him with concern.

"Now there is a problem. Can I withdraw from the competition?" Ito Rin took the orange handed to her by the teacher.

Now is the season for eating oranges.

The sweetness is mixed with a hint of sourness, which makes Ito Rin feel that it has many similarities with love, but he prefers the small sugar oranges to normal oranges.

"Of course not."

"In that case, I have no choice but to go on stage." Ito Rin bit the orange in her mouth, and the fresh juice splashed in her mouth.

"If it's difficult..." Qingshan Chizuru hesitated to speak.

She had only heard that Ito Rin was good at running, but had never seen it with her own eyes. If he chose to participate in the competition under pressure, it would be a failure for Chizuru Aoyama as a teacher.

"Don't worry about the ranking," she said.

"Teacher, don't worry. I still have confidence in the 5,000 meters." Ito Rin comforted her.

While they were chatting, the athletes participating in the competition were getting ready.

Except for long-distance running, which has both preliminary and final rounds, most competitions have a qualifying stage, such as the women's 100 meters today.

**Two intertwined airplane clouds streaked across the white sky. On the branches next to the school building, birds, attracted by the noise of human activity, stood on the branches and observed.

The names of the contestants were printed on the big screen in the playground.

Ranked third is second-year student Ijichi Hongka.

She was standing on the court doing warm-up exercises, and Yamada Ryo was squatting beside her with a water bottle, as if cheering her on.

"Do you think Ijichi-san can make it to the finals?"

“It’s possible to get in, but it’s not realistic to expect to get a ranking.”

Even though she knew it was inappropriate, Aoyama Chizuru couldn't control herself and asked curiously.

"You two..."

"Teacher, you are too gossipy." Ito Rin said helplessly.

This is the downside of having too good a relationship with your teacher!

Can we even discuss this kind of topic?

Or is it because Chizuru Aoyama just graduated from college, so there is no generation gap between her and them.

"Just ask." Aoyama Chizuru stuck out her tongue, and her worry about Ito Rin grew stronger.

I always feel that this student of hers will become a scumbag sooner or later.

This is a topic that cannot be discussed at all!

Ito Rin pretended not to notice their curious expressions and watched the competition on the track and field and the broadcast on the radio station.

As expected, Hong Xia tried her best and got the top two results in the preliminaries, and was not eliminated at the beginning.

After a few more competitions, the champion of the 100-meter race was the second-year track and field club leader.

Hongxia, who had already let go of things, was not too sad about this. After finishing the run, she went to hug Yamada Ryo.

Several competitions ended and the broadcast station made an announcement.

"Due to schedule adjustments, runners participating in the 100-meter relay race are requested to prepare in advance."

Ito Rin turned around and saw that Nagasaki Hiroshi and the others were also surprised.

"Teacher, it looks like we have to go on stage early."

"Come on." Aoyama Chizuru clenched her fists and cheered them on.

"Oh no, it seems the school leaders are going to check. I have to go back quickly." Miyagi school doctor flipped through his phone, stuffed everything in his arms to Chizuru Aoyama, and followed them down from the stands.

...During the sports festival, the school doctor chose to run out and slack off. You are too relaxed!

"Ito, let's go." Nagasaki Hiro, who had changed into sportswear, patted his shoulder. "It's up to us two now."

Ito Rin was not so arrogant as to think that two people could beat four people. On the way to the meeting point, she encouraged Ando Takao and Kuroda Hide.

"Relax, our goal is to win the championship, just perform normally in the preliminary round."

Kuroda Hide is a friend of Ando Takao, but as the saying goes, a friend of a friend is not my friend, so Ito Rin is not very familiar with him.

He was quite familiar with Ito Rin, who was a celebrity in school after all.

"I'm really sorry, but the pace of the game is faster than expected. In order to avoid dull occasions, we have to let everyone go first." The student council member in charge of organizing the sports festival explained to them.

High school students have always been indifferent to such things, and the unhappiness caused by the sudden advance of the deadline will soon disappear.

"Okay, next up is the men's relay race. In the preliminary rounds, a star athlete will be making his debut!"

As Ito Rin stood at the last baton, she listened to the excited voices coming from the broadcasting room and had a bad feeling in her heart.

What the hell is going on? Where did the star players come from in a sports festival?

Volume 2: Chapter 38 Can we win? We will win!

"First-year Ito!"

"I heard he has a girlfriend. What a pity."

"Where is it? Let me see how handsome it is."

Many people stood up in the stands. Ito Rin on the track looked up at the sky with an expressionless face, and she was already beginning to regret participating in the sports festival.

"Okay, okay, everyone please be quiet, friends in the middle, please sit down quickly, the game is about to start.

It’s time to start! We’ve invited the PE teacher to be our special judge!”

"Hello, Mr. Yamashita!"

"Ah."

"So in today's game, do you think there will be a dark horse?"

"Probably not. The members of the track and field club are all very good, but you can't be sure. It all depends on their performance on the spot."

"Wow, that's a perfect excuse! Okay, now I've received the news that the game is about to start!"

The crowd, who had been waiting impatiently, heard the starting gun and started running with all their might.

When Ito Rin received the baton, the team next door had already started for two seconds, but thanks to his final sprint, he managed to take first place in the preliminaries without any danger.

"Hey, it was Ito who took first place. Teacher Yamashita, did you notice that he ran really fast in the last section?"

"Of course I noticed. At this speed, if we compete in the 100 meters, the champion might be replaced."

Ito Rin didn't care about the comments on the stage. After high-fiving the breathless Ando Takao, she stood on the playground waiting for the other games to end.

Obviously the broadcasting department knew what others were more interested in, because his figure was on the big screen during the breaks in the game.

From this perspective, the so-called star player just now was not lying.

"We must get first place!" Nagasaki Hiroshi, who was standing next to him and showing his face in front of the whole school, clenched his fists and encouraged him.

"I feel like we two are holding them back." Takao Andeng scratched his hair embarrassedly.

If they had participated in the competition without pursuing a ranking, it would have been fine if they were a little slower, but now that they have the hope of winning the championship, they stand out.

"Small problem." Ito Rin watched the second preliminaries on the track end.

Teacher Yamashita's voice came from the radio, introducing, "This is the track and field club's participating team. They are very strong."

"It looks like they'll win the championship this year!"

"Everything depends on the performance on the spot. I can't be sure."

There was a break before the final, and Nagasaki Hiro, who didn't want to lose the game, started to plan his strategy.

Because it is a relay race, Tian Ji's horse racing tactics are of course not applicable, but that does not affect his use of tricks.

"I'll be the first to run, and Ito will be in charge of finishing. As long as we can suppress their momentum in the early stages, we'll definitely win."

"If that's the case, shouldn't Ito be the first one?"

"No, in the end I couldn't outrun them, so I could only put all my hopes on Ito." Nagasaki Hiroshi spread his hands helplessly and admitted it honestly.

"Looks like we need two Itos."
