Real teaching, hypocritical gray life

"No, I just care a little about the surname 'Luo'. After all, it's rare. Even among compound surnames."

“Come to think of it, I was also surprised at first.”

“I personally think so.”

It may sound a little ridiculous, but I was frightened by the faint smile on Sakayanagi's face. She was just a delicate little girl, but the oppression she brought was terrifying.

I looked away, trying to relax my attention, and then I found Shen Shi standing not far away. She didn't care much about the situation here. She was still trying to calm her breathing after exercising. Instead, several boys on the side looked at us very vigilantly.

"If you don't mind, please have a few sips of tea."

"No, thanks, we..."

Ichinose tried to refuse, but in the blink of an eye, Sakayanagi had already poured two cups of hot tea and pushed them towards us.

"please."

"Um, thank you."

Unable to refuse the kindness, Ichinose and Kanzaki reached out to take the teacups, while Sakayanagi also poured the third cup very solemnly, then handed the cup to me by the handle.

"Thank you very much."

I imitated Ichinose and thanked him.

This teacup is not easy to handle because the tea is almost overflowing in the cup, and if you are not careful, the scalding tea will pour out.

After finding the right angle, I stretched out my right hand like an eagle's claw and pinched it. In an instant, a burning pain attacked my fingertips. After Sakayanagi loosened her grip on the cup handle, I quickly put the cup on the table and loosened my five fingers.

By the time he reacted, the base of his five fingers had already turned red from the heat.

"what happened?"

Ichinose noticed the situation the moment I made the move.

"..."

"Oh, sorry. I guess you got scalded by the tea. I was inconsiderate. Please forgive me."

"No, nothing..."

Sakayanagi apologized to me immediately, but the smile on her face made me feel that this behavior was completely intentional.

I gently rubbed my slightly sore fingertips and picked up the teacup with all my strength.

"If you need snacks, I can provide them here."

Sakayanagi returned to her seat, putting away her cane and placing it on her legs.

"No need for snacks, it's embarrassing enough just to do this."

Ichinose politely rejected Sakayanagi's proposal, and Sakayanagi nodded as expected. Then she looked thoughtfully at the students who had finished their rest on the playground.

"Can any of you play chess?"

Sakayanagi's unexpected question once again shocked us.

There is no doubt that Sakayanagi asked this question because there was a chess board on the table, but the pieces on the board were already attacking each other, and the situation was quite tense.

Now if we ask this question, it means that there is no player in this chess game... probably.

"Chess? I've heard of it before, but I don't understand the rules at all."

Ichinose smiled bitterly and shook his head, while Kanzaki understood it but later explained that he had not made any achievements in this regard.

Then everyone's attention was focused on me.

"Well, I understand the rules, but I'm not good at them..."

I have played chess only a handful of times, and it is true that I am not very good at it.

"Why did Sakayanagi-san suddenly ask this?"

"Because if we continue to talk about this, it would be too boring, so I want to find something extra to do."

"As you can see, my legs are not very convenient for movement, and I failed all the competitions and exams that involved physical fitness. I can only express my deepest apologies to my classmates for being a burden to the class."

"But since the whole class is participating, I can't lose my 'qualification' because of this, so I can only sit aside and play chess with myself to pass the time... If possible, can Luo Jun play a few games with me? In exchange, I can tell you about the athletic ability of the students in Class B."

"Well, this... isn't good?"

The three of us were a little bit incredulous about the result of the exchange. Such intelligence could be obtained from just a simple game of chess.

The contents of the transaction are not equivalent, or Sakayanagi believes that we can easily obtain information.

"As long as the entry list is not leaked, it's no big deal even if you know this information. If there is any content related to this in the subsequent tests, it will be exposed in this sports festival, so please don't worry about it."

"I always feel a little guilty that we took advantage of you."

"Then please accompany me for a few more words, Lord Luo. After all, it's hard to be interested in a zero-sum game without an opponent."

"I see...but..."

Ichinose looked at me with a questioning look. She left the decision of this matter entirely in my hands. It didn't matter if I didn't want to fight with her or even make enemies with her.

"I have no problem with that. I just want to make it clear that I probably can't be a 'qualified' opponent with my abilities. If you can accept that, I have no problem with that..."

"I won't mind. After all, I've been looking forward to seeing a decent opponent for a long time."

Thus, a game of chess started between Sakayanagi and I for some unknown reason.

"Kido-kun from Class B--"

During the game, Sakayanagi revealed the athletic abilities of the students in her class to us as agreed, but I didn't listen carefully during the game and was instead focused on the game.

If you want to appear to be unclear, then of course it is most appropriate to state the fact that you are unclear.

I tried to calculate Sakayanagi's next move, where would be a trap, where I would lose a piece, but it didn't take long for me to reach a dead end, and no matter which move I made, I would be 'checkmate' next.

That is, a checkmate situation.

Now that things have come to this, we’ll just have to grit our teeth and move on.

After I made the insignificant move, Sakayanagi added the 'checkmate' piece, but she didn't say anything about it.

Generally speaking, when checking in chess, you must remind your opponent that you are in a 'checkmate' state.

I thought Sakayanagi had forgotten this, so I pretended not to care and continued playing. However, the next chess piece didn't fall anywhere near the point where he wanted to kill me, and each move only devoured my chess piece.

In the end, the situation became so chaotic that even a fool could realize that he had already lost.

However, Sakayanagi still had no intention of ending it.

I had no choice but to interrupt her.

"Well, I should have lost a long time ago, right...?"

"Um, ah, I'm so sorry, I forgot to mention to Luo Jun that I have a bad habit when it comes to chess."

"Bad habits...?"

"Well, if the opponent does not surrender voluntarily, I will eat all of his pieces until there is only one 'king' left, and then I will finish him off."

"..."

What a bad character this is.

"I'm sorry, I accidentally used it on Luo Jun. I learned this habit from a previous 'teacher'. Every time I was eaten by that teacher, he would still do the same even if I was in a bad mood. In the end, I accidentally became that disgusting person."

Needless to say, the teacher who taught Sakayanagi had a terrible personality.

This habit is too bad.

"If Luo Jun feels uncomfortable, let's start over."

Then, Sakayanagi and I started a new game of chess.

Until the very end, I was not able to easily defeat Sakayanagi, and even the number of pieces I captured was pitifully small.

This investigation ended with me failing again and again.

"I'm sorry that I couldn't entertain you well."

After learning the information at the end, I followed Ichinose and Kanzaki on the road to the Ten Million Lunch. Losing more than a dozen chess games in a row made me feel a little heavy.

The current situation won't get better even if Ichinose and Kanzaki stay by my side to comfort me.

"By the way, it seems that Sakayanagi-san seems to be somewhat concerned about Luo. Did you know each other before?"

"If we were acquainted, I would have been able to avoid being teased like today."

"Ahaha, sorry. But please don't take it so seriously. I'll treat you to a nice lunch."

"I will perform beyond my normal level."

I endured the pain in my heart and uttered this oath. Ichinose and Kanzaki looked at me helplessly.

Although I'm a novice, this is the first time I've had such a lack of experience in chess.

Repeat various exercises every day.

Finally, the last week of the sports festival has arrived. Although it is not certain, we should decide the contestants for each event today. We held a meeting with Class D, and based on the notebooks that record the results of the whole class every day, we discussed with everyone in Class D about the best team formation, the way to win, and the overall benefits.

Then everyone recorded the competitions they participated in and the order in which they participated. No one objected to the result based on the results of each person. There was no dispute, and it went on like this.

In addition to the tug-of-war, I have another recommended competition that relies on luck: the [borrowing object competition]. I really want to know who came up with the idea of ​​using rock-paper-scissors to decide the participants, and I want to know why I have such "good luck" today.

There was simply no consideration for my feelings.

The sports festival opened with all our preparations.

Chapter 160 Opening

After enduring a month of physical training, we finally welcomed the October Sports Festival.

Although one month would seem long in the current semester, and the painful experience would prolong the feeling of time, it is perhaps less so than today when we have to finish thirteen sports events in one day.

We marched into the stadium in an orderly manner according to what we had practiced in physical education class. Although the formation was not so neat and compact, at least we had an orderly pace and were full of enthusiasm.

The current heat is a little hard for me to accept.

…Maybe now should be an exciting time?

However, after secretly observing the expressions of other students, I could only conclude that this was a special exam that needed to be taken seriously. The surroundings were filled with enthusiastic, tense energy and calm, nonchalant observation.

After entering the venue, we divided into different areas according to grade and class. The class teachers of each class gathered together under the podium, watching the students seriously, and Mr. Hoshinomiya was among them.

Ever since I did that to her during the special exam on the ship, she hasn't approached me again, but I'm still fulfilling my duties as a teacher.

Although both of us knew the truth, we pretended nothing had happened, which brought me great convenience.

By the way, there were scattered tourists in the "audience seats" around the playground. As for how to identify the tourists in trouble, it was probably because of their "strange clothes". If I guessed correctly, they might be the staff working in this school facility.

Few people outside the facility can directly enter this school, but the members inside the facility are not restricted by too many rules. Visitors smiled and waved to us from time to time, but there were not many people around who responded.

That's true. After all, the students are now focused on the sports festival, and if they behave in this way, they might be labeled strange by the people around them.

I relaxed my neck slightly, but when I turned my head, I saw Koenji from Class D of the first grade enjoying the cheers and even blowing kisses back from time to time.

"..."

It seems that my perception is not entirely true...

In addition, there is a small hut in the corner of the playground that can accommodate a considerable number of people. It is equipped with air-conditioning equipment, water dispensers, stretchers and other equipment. There are also some people who seem to be related to the medical department wandering around in the hut.

It seems that he is planning to act in the same manner as last time on the uninhabited island, and he is fully prepared.

"Dear friends..."

The opening ceremony was opened by Senior Fujimaki, the commander-in-chief of the Red Team, while the commander-in-chief of the White Team stood silently behind him.

In the competition, the competing red and white teams are separated by the track of the stadium, and each team has a canopy as a camp. This is to avoid unnecessary disputes between the two teams outside the competition. In the past few years, it seems that many people were injured because of private disputes.

Although we are still at the opening ceremony of the sports festival, the school has already started preparing for the first competitive event, the 100m race.

The school has installed two cameras at the start and end of the runway to ensure accurate results, which means that the school will strictly avoid wrong judgments and vague conclusions.

Like someone starting off early, or someone's body crossing the finish line first...luck cannot be blamed in this regard.

Even the slightest difference must be used to determine the winner, which largely eliminates the possibility of using rhetoric.

As mentioned before, the means we can use in this exam are quite limited, not only because of the rules, but also because of the lack of personal ideas.

In this case, I also need to strictly require myself not to be disturbed by external things.
