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

Ito Rin was doing warm-up exercises, and the big screen switched the camera to this side in time.

"So handsome!" The female member of the broadcasting department made a nympho voice.

"Stop it, it's work time now!"

Amidst the fierce scramble, the voice coming from the radio changed its tone. It seemed that the original host was brutally suppressed.

"Well, the competition is about to begin. Will our favorite track and field team continue to defend their title, or will Ito-san's team emerge as an unexpected force?"

"Hey, I'm the captain!"

"Well, Captain, you will be responsible for the final sprint." Takao Andeng said with a smile.

"Forget it, I think Ito is more suitable for the position of captain, but don't forget my contribution."

"You two, stop acting like we've already won."

Ito Rin, who had been silent all this time, glared at the two of them unhappily.

The most important person in a relay race is of course the last person to cross the finish line, but if the gap between them is too large, even if Ito Rin cheats, she may not win.

"Come on, Ito-kun." The track and field club captain next to him suddenly spoke.

The people in the track and field club don't look like the stereotypical athletes. Some of them are tall and thin, and look very suitable for playing basketball. They have strong legs and are very powerful.

As for stereotypes, please refer to Hiroshi Nagasaki.

"Thank you, that doesn't seem likely," Ito Rin said.

"Don't talk like that before the game." Nagasaki Hiro said in a low voice.

"Give up. Even if you win the championship, no girl will confess to you."

Hiroshi Nagasaki was frustrated by Takao Ando's words. Now, he became the protagonist on the big screen, and his laughter suddenly became louder.

"Hahaha."

Amidst laughter, everyone stood in their respective positions. Nagasaki Hiro, who turned his grief and anger into strength, was thinking about surpassing others.

"Okay, it's finally starting. So who's going to win? Now it's time for a commercial break, two minutes..."

As the studio became more restless, the voice changed again.

"Okay, I've chased that idiot away. Now, let's not cut to Ito-kun without permission. Ah, my girlish heart!"

"Hey, you're no different than me!"

"No, at least I still remember to broadcast the game live."

This kind of behavior, without paying attention to others, made the noise in the stands even louder, and it was not until a teacher entered the broadcasting room that the noise gradually quieted down.

"Then it's time for the official competition. The track and field club's teams haven't changed, but Ito-san's starting lineup has been replaced by Nagasaki Hiroshi, and the last leg will still be Ito-san."

"It seems that they intend to place all their hopes on Ito."

"Teacher, why do you say that?"

"Because in a relay race, everyone seems important, but what really determines victory or defeat is the final link, and most teams will put their strongest runners there."

On the big screen, Ito Rin was doing warm-up, and next to him was the president of the track and field club.

The camera lens suddenly flew up to the sky, and the entire runway could be observed more clearly from the aerial perspective. At a high enough height, the people on the runway looked like ants.

The field suddenly became quiet. Hong Xia stared at the big screen, secretly cheering for him in her heart.

With the sound of a gunshot, the small black dot at the starting point accelerated. From the perspective of the stands, Nagasaki Hiroshi, who was trying his best, was still closely following the members of the track and field club and was not too far behind.

However, in the next two rounds, the gap became visible to the naked eye.

Even Hongxia, who blindly believed in Ito Rin, covered her eyes helplessly after seeing the gap between the two, not wanting to see the next scene.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the big screen.

The director of the track and field department has started, and the third runner behind him catches up in time and passes the ball successfully.

Takao Andeng's vision was blurry, but he could still tell how much distance he had dragged down.

When he handed the stick to Ito Rin, he fell down on the track, gasping for breath.

"Can Ito-kun win?" The broadcast voice asked everyone's question.

"come on!"

On the big screen, Ito Rin, who was already behind, was sprinting at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the originally tense atmosphere was further aroused.

"Hmmm, Ito-kun is closing in on first place, and he looks like he's even picking up speed!"

"Close!"

"Still chasing, still chasing, so fast, is this the speed of a human?"

"Camera, quickly switch to the finish line view! The results are coming soon. We want to see Ito-kun cross the finish line!"

Place

Some people became excited because the camera changed its angle of view too slowly. Many people stood up and looked at the figure on the playground.

Ito Rin has forgotten everything else.

At this time, the camera on the big screen came to the finish line and aimed at the ribbon position. Ito Rin was the first to break through, and the director of the track and field club behind her showed a look of astonishment.

"We won, we really won! The team led by Ito won!" A roar came from the loudspeaker.

The scene turned to Takao Ando lying on the ground. He looked up with an expression of disbelief on his face.

He knew how big the gap was, and never expected that Ito Rin could overcome such difficulties.

After a moment of silence, the camera turned again and focused on Ito Rin in front of the finish line. At this time, the reporter from the broadcasting department was already preparing to interview him.

"Ito-san, did you ever think you would get first place before the competition?"

Ito Rin, whose breathing gradually calmed down, nodded calmly: "Of course I have thought about it, but our victory is also due to the efforts of everyone in our team."

The voice spread throughout the playground through the microphone. Nagasaki Hiroshi ran over excitedly, and Ando Takao was embarrassed to accept the compliment. The students on the stage applauded in unison, and the campus became boiling.

In such an explosive environment, Yamada Ryo held Hongxia's excited hands, and his admiring gaze also fell on Ito Rin.

Although this person is annoying and evil and always likes to make fun of her, his talent is undeniable.

As for friendship, the seemingly lonely Yamada Ryo is very pleased with this kind of thing.

Amidst the enthusiastic atmosphere of the entire venue, Ito Rin was the most calm one. He held his hands in front of him, his expression showing the joy of victory, but without any overly exaggerated behavior.

……

After the game, Ito Rin passed by the stands and waved and greeted the two senior students.

Sitting at the aisle, Hong Xia responded with a smile with a look of joy on her face; no matter how much Yamada Ryo admired her in his heart, he still showed an attitude of disgust on the surface.

Ito Rin didn't care about their reactions, and Teacher Aoyama called him over.

Several people who had also returned victorious surrounded him, constantly muttering words like "terrible" and "too strong".

The way the girls looked at him was even scarier, and they seemed to want to eat him up when taking pictures.

Ito Rin was of course very happy about winning the competition, but he kept his distance from such enthusiastic classmates.

After all, it was just a school race. He tried so hard because he didn't want to lose. It didn't mean much.

The person who encouraged Hong Xia to give up the concept of winning or losing actually had an exaggeratedly strong desire to win or lose. It only seemed less out of place because he was capable of being the first in any project he was interested in.

Yamada Ryo noticed that the lively scene here had affected the normal progress of the game, and many people were surrounding him to take pictures.

When I clicked into the class group chat, I found that someone had already forwarded the video, one of which was shot from the end point.

Looking at Ito Rin's expressionless and explosive sprint, he is indeed so handsome that it makes people scream.

[So handsome]

[This speed is too scary!]

[Is Ito-san a superhero specially trained to participate in the Olympics?]

[That's impossible. There aren't any perverts wearing their underwear backwards around the school.]

[Superman's understanding is not so superficial, asshole!]

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Hongxia was playing the video, and Yamada Ryo turned off his phone and approached her.

"How can there be such disgusting people in the world?"

"nausea?"

"Think about it carefully. If he can do anything he's interested in to this extent, even if he's been playing dumb, he must be very knowledgeable about musical instruments. Isn't this kind of person disgusting enough?"

"That's talent, okay?"

"No matter how you describe it, it's truly disgusting. It feels like ordinary people simply can't keep up with him. That Nagasaki Suyo will be left behind sooner or later."

Yamada Ryo spoke in a stern tone, and after he finished speaking, he met Hong Xia's gaze.

She remained silent.

"That's what excellent people do." Yamada Ryo said slowly, "Take me for example. Because I'm too strong, I deliberately keep my distance from others. Those guys are too stupid."

"Really? It seems I'm not ordinary." Faced with Yamada Ryo's rare opening of his heart, Hong Xia did not respond.

Yamada Ryo nodded with deep understanding: "Hong Xia is certainly not ordinary, but..."

Her face turned serious and she grabbed her hand, "It's still not enough."

"Why are you telling me this?" Hong Xia twisted her body unnaturally.

"You know what I mean." Yamada Ryo didn't expose her, "As high school students, we should focus on the band."

After hearing her say this, Hong Xia lost all her temper and said helplessly, "You really don't plan to go to college."

Yamada Ryo narrowed his eyes, paused, and spoke slowly: "Going to college will affect my music career, but the only problem is that if I don't go to college, I will probably be kicked out by my family."

"If you focus more on studying next year, you should be able to go to a regular school, right?"

"Of course I can, but that wouldn't be in line with my principles. Besides, if I don't go to school, I'll have more time to practice bass."

Seeing Hongxia's worried expression, Yamada Ryo wanted to comfort her, but just like she didn't know how to convince her mother, she couldn't convince Hongxia either.

But unlike her mother, Hongxia will continue to choose to support her after struggling.

Looking at the playground, the race was still going on. The passionate scene attracted cheers, but Yamada Ryo's heart flew away to who knows where.

When the maple leaves on the trees were blown to the ground by the autumn wind, the morning game was over. In order to get some peace and quiet, Ito Rin chose to come to Yamada Ryo.

The three of them left the school and went to the restaurant at the gate to eat.

Volume 2: Chapter 39: She Appeared at an Inappropriate Time

"How does it feel to be a star?" Yamada Ryo, who had just sat down, asked jokingly.

"If this level of achievement can be called a star, then I have been like this since I was a child."

"You have absolutely no sense of humility."

"You're wrong. Of course I should be more humble in front of others, but Yamada-senpai probably doesn't like it, so I have to show another side of myself."

"Thank you very much."

"You're welcome, this is what I should do."

"Look," Yamada Ryo pointed at him and said to Hong Xia, his tone unable to tell whether he liked or disliked him: "This is the kind of person he is."

"Praise or criticism?" Ito Rin took the lunch.

Because he had a game in the afternoon, he ate a lot, at least more than the two girls opposite him combined.

"Neither. It's just a simple statement."

"Well said." Ito Rin applauded.

……

After spending lunch break with the senior student, the atmosphere in the class became much more normal. Although some people were still looking at him and talking in low voices, it was finally not as frenzied as in the morning.

The sports festival proceeded as normal in the afternoon, but as you can imagine, long-distance running is not very popular at this time.

Not everyone likes sports. There may not be people as exaggerated as Pochi-chan, but without the school's mandatory requirements, many people still choose to leave the playground and go other places.

Just like Ito Rin who will have a match soon, she doesn't want to go there before the match starts.
