Real teaching, hypocritical gray life

The starting signal sounded, and the eight girls started running at the same time. Ichinose's reaction was faster than everyone else's, and she remained at the top of the race.

If we can take first place in this way, it would be a good direction.

But soon Kamuro caught up with him in a beautiful posture. Ichinose also noticed the pressure of the opponent's track and tried to grit his teeth and sprint forward. However, this still could not change the fact that the distance between the two was shortened, and the two sides fell into a tense duel.

Ichinose's current speed advantage is due to the track and field training in junior high school. However, her innate advantage seems to be too weak compared to Kamuro, especially her violently shaking breasts, which makes it too difficult to adjust the body's balance and also wastes a lot of energy.

In the end, the first place to cross the finish line was awarded to Kamuro.

Although I lost the game, I won in terms of body shape.

After the first-year students finished their 100m race, we met up with Class D and reported our results.

The students with excellent motor skills in the class have firmly grasped the first place, but the middle-class students on both sides did not achieve good results, but it is still ideal.

After the three grades finished the 100m race, they entered the summing-up stage.

Before the next game started, the school also announced the scores of the first game of the Red Team and the White Team on the big screen next to the playground.

Red Team - 2081 points

White Team – 1811 points

The Red Team gained a slight advantage.

Chapter 161: Hurdles Event Accident

The second event of the sports festival is the 110m hurdles.

It can be said to be of the same type as the [100m race], that is, an event that tests an individual's running ability, but the [110m hurdles race] has additional requirements for one's own coordination ability.

If you fail to do so and rush over the hurdle, you will suffer serious consequences.

In this regard, the [110m hurdles] adds two new items based on the [100m race] rules.

The first one requires running 110 meters while jumping over the hurdles.

The second is that if you [knock down the hurdle] or [touch the hurdle], the calculation time will be increased. Knock down a hurdle and add 110 seconds to the total time of the [0.5m hurdles] event; touch a hurdle and add 110 seconds to the total time of the [0.3m hurdles] event.

Such rules are also quite strict, because the problems that arise when making mistakes in crossing the hurdles are not just in the penalty mechanism. Even individual sports require a certain amount of time to recover, such as adjusting the mentality after the mistake and the body balance.

In this way, it can be basically determined that on average, every time a hurdle is crossed, one second will be added to the total time taken.

It may be okay in other aspects, but in sports, this 1 second mistake is fatal. It is precisely because of this that contestants should try their best to make sure they cross the hurdles. Running fast alone cannot determine the outcome of the game.

There are ten hurdles set up every ten meters, and the total length of the track is 110m.

Even if a person runs as hard as he can regardless of the cost, a mistake in the ten hurdles will directly or indirectly increase the time by 10 seconds. Even if it is converted into an obstacle-free 110m run, the original 13 seconds will be added to 23 seconds. Even if you jump over them slowly, you may get a higher return.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the ranking problem of the [110m hurdles] event can be solved by just skipping over it slowly.

The outstanding performance in the first group at the start of the [110m Hurdles] event did not come from our class, but from Class D, which was our allied class. At the same time, our middle-class students also demonstrated their guaranteed strength and firmly grasped the third and fourth places.

In the [110m Hurdles] event, I was arranged to be in the third lane of the second group.

I was with Shibata from the same class, and Sotomura Hideo and Miyake Akito from Class D. Shibata was assigned to the fourth lane, which was my neighbor lane, and the other two allies were in the sixth and eighth lanes respectively.

Whether it was Sudo before or Shibata now, I just hope that the next race I take on won't be arranged in the lane next to the 'Fast Man'. Even if I don't think about the visual sense, my personal body size will appear quite weak, not to mention the difference in comparison.

Even if I get a good ranking, the only thing that will be remembered is the first place with a bright spot. I will still be very bad at focusing on the point, and although I don't expect to pursue such things, I still need to perform well in the first sports festival in my life.

There was also an unfortunate thing in this game. As a representative of the middle-class strength, I should have tried my best to chase the first place. However, the powerful player Oda Takumi in the fifth lane of Class C completely killed the possibility of my second place in the cradle.

This existence is bad news for both Shibata and me. Shibata will win the game in a more laborious way, and I will definitely lose a ranking.

Such luck is really bad.

"You fell pretty fast, and you got third place in the 100m race, right?"

"Please take back what you just said, Shibata-kun. The meaning of this sentence is completely changed when it comes out of your mouth. I will misunderstand it. In addition, getting third place is just a coincidence. The other classes did not send any strong opponents."

"Haha, sorry, I didn't mean to mock you."

"Then I wish you to give full play to your strength. I will try my best to keep up with you."

"come on!"

After a short joke and encouragement, Shibata and I began to pay attention to our pre-starting posture. However, just as we were about to concentrate on the referee's gun, I suddenly saw a vacancy in the sixth track of the group.

That is to say, our allies did not show up as agreed.

"Is Sotomura-kun from Class D, first grade, here? If not, you will be disqualified from the competition and will be treated as 'absent', okay?"

While speaking, the referee looked to both sides outside the track to confirm the existence of this information.

First it was Koenji, and now it's Toumura-san? If I remember correctly, Toumura-san was competing with me in the 100m race just now...

The students in Class D are really troublesome.

"Yes, I have a stomachache... Can I be absent?"

A weak voice came from behind me. When I turned around, I saw a fat and frail figure from the outside village standing trembling behind us.

This behavior made it difficult for me to tell whether it was due to cowardly personality or illness.

“Ah ha? What are you talking about?! Even if you knock down all the hurdles, just show some courage and finish the race!”

“Ahh!? I’m here, I’m here!”

Hearing Sotomura's request, Sudo rushed over from the side, cursing. When he was about to approach the opponent with his sleeves rolled up, Sotomura hurriedly returned to his own track as if to save his life and prepared himself.

Even so, Sudo's complaints could still be heard from the side, and Sotomura kept swallowing his saliva.

Although Sotomura's athletic ability was not outstanding, it was an exaggeration to say that he pushed down all the hurdles. If he had been more careful, such a result would not have occurred.

Just like jumping slowly to avoid getting hurt, it is also within the scope of consideration. After all, I am also pursuing a higher ranking like me.

I tilted my head and stretched my slightly stiff neck. After getting rid of this unrealistic thought, I focused on the signal gun in the referee's hand.

The first moment after the gun went off, I ran down according to my previous feeling.

Shibata also burst out with his amazing speed and sprinted in front of me, and the figure of Oda Takumi from Class C followed closely. I was tied with a student from Class B. We were in a fierce competition and were currently ranked third in the "hurdle race".

If he could out-jump me in the hurdles, or even speed up midway, then my defeat would be a foregone conclusion, but if not, then the outcome between us would most likely require the use of a camera to arbitrate.

Even I can’t make any judgement on the current situation on the field.

When I reached a position about two meters away from the hurdle, I swung my thighs upward quickly, and my calves naturally folded with my thighs due to inertia, and continued to rise.

After successfully crossing the hurdle, I lightly supported the ground with the front of my foot, and then crossed the hurdle with my other leg, while making the landing point close to the projection point of the body's center of gravity, and finally quickly turned to run between the hurdles.

Shibata and Oda Takumi also successfully crossed the first hurdle, and not only that, the player who was on par with me was also average. The movements of each party were unexpectedly smooth, so it seemed that this would be a fair duel.

I originally thought that this fierce battle would continue in this way until the end, but I didn't expect that this "calm" would only last for two hurdles.

When crossing the third hurdle, Takumi Oda from Class C encountered an accident.

It is estimated that he did not grasp the starting point of the hurdle well, and his hind legs touched the hurdle during the crossing, causing him to fall to the ground.

The moment the hurdle fell to the ground, it tripped him hard, but Oda Takumi's body did not react and he continued to perform the actions as he had planned.

This caused the hurdle to be suspended in the air for a moment.

You know, at such a high speed, any mistake is fatal. The next moment, Oda Takumi's figure tilted, and the speed and direction also changed uncontrollably at this time, completely tilting towards Shibata who was on the side road.

At this moment, Shibata was accelerating, so he was one step slower than Oda Takumi in the short distance ahead. It was almost impossible for him to stop now, so the two of them collided in my sight.

Due to the great force, the entangled bodies of the two parties did not stop after the collision, and even had a tendency to "attack" me.

I subconsciously wanted to stop at this point, but considering that I was currently in a competitive state, I had to trigger the speed that I would "break out at the critical moment" and leave the "crime scene" one step ahead of time.

Not long after their figures disappeared from my sight, the pain of their bodies falling to the ground and the sound of friction with the rubber floor rang in my mind.

At this point, I couldn't stop because of this incident. I maintained this speed until the end of the race without hitting any hurdles.

The student from Class B who was 'equally matched' with me seemed to be distracted by the accident that had just happened, and he was slower than me halfway through.

Finally, with the victories of other class groups in the second group, I unexpectedly won the second group of [110m hurdles] with the first place.

After finishing the 110m sprint, I quickly slowed down in the buffer zone and turned back to check Shibata's physical condition.

At this time, Shibata and Oda Takumi had already climbed up from the bottom and continued the [110m hurdles] event.

The referee did not stop the game because of the accident.

From a distance, one could see a large area of ​​abrasion on Shibata's right calf, and there was also a small wound below the knee that was bleeding continuously.

The 'culprit' Oda Takumi was more seriously injured. Even with Shibata's body as a cushion, he was not lucky enough to avoid injury. In addition to the scratches on his legs, there were several long bloodstains on his arms. His face was also quite ferocious when he ran. Although he followed behind Shibata, his half-breathing appearance made him feel that he could not bear the pain on his body.

Although Shibata is not as fast as he was at the beginning, he is still on the way to surpassing most of the students. However, the few seconds of delay caused by the accident are hard to recover, and Shibata can only finish the race in sixth place.

In contrast, Takumi Oda was ranked seventh, and the last place was simply unbelievable to me.

Hideo Sotomura finished the race by pushing all the hurdles, with an incredible time of 31 seconds, becoming the last one in the race.

Shocked by the result, I quickly stepped forward and supported Shibata's body.

Just as I judged on the track just now. Apart from the wound on the right leg and the exposed skin, there is no other injury. Fortunately, the wound on the leg is only a minor injury and has not caused any damage to the root. In other words, it is enough to rest a little and then return to the game.

However, such a wound might become a weakness for the opponent to actively attack in a horse-riding battle.

"Sorry...I didn't mean to...knock you over..."

After the game, Takumi Oda limped over to us to apologize, but Shibata responded in a way that was far beyond the severity of his injury. He just shook his head slightly and didn't say anything else.

Oda Takumi himself had no intention of apologizing further, and after this apology, he walked away perfunctorily.

"Laku, is Shibata okay?"

At this moment, the people who had just been watching the game and noticed the accident came over one after another, and Shibata waved his hand in response.

"Uh, ah, it should be fine... I think it's just a few scratches."

I patted Shibata's back gently, pulled his clothes to give the wound some space, and then helped him stand up properly. Shibata followed my actions and smiled at the public as always.

After seeing this scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"That guy from Class C is really..."

"Hoo, even if the injury isn't serious, Shibata-san should still take a break from the next [Pole Reversal Competition]—"

"Don't worry, it's okay. The wound on my leg only needs a little disinfection and a bandage. It won't hinder my movements."

"is that so......?"

"It would be better to take a break after all."

"It's totally fine. You probably saw the second half of the 110m hurdles race just now. Even if I get back on my feet, I'll almost catch up with the fifth place, so don't worry about the exercise."

"Are you forcing yourself...?"

"Of course I know my own physical condition best, so don't worry."

As he said this, Shibata broke away from the support of my arms and trotted off to the temporary medical center alone.

"Then I'll go to the temporary infirmary first and be back soon."

"I'll go with you—"

I wanted to suggest that we go together, but Shibata politely rejected my suggestion before the words came to my lips.

"Really, don't worry about me. Luo, just stay here and cheer on the other students. Everyone, please try your best to compete and make up for the points I lost."

"Ah...well, we will."

"......"

After leaving these somewhat frivolous words, Shibata walked towards the temporary medical clinic without looking back.

Shibata's walking posture was quite normal, so there was probably nothing wrong. But even so, everyone stayed where they were, looking at Shibata's back with worried eyes, until -

"Please leave the track immediately if you are not participating. The third group of the 110m hurdles competition will now begin."

The announcement on the radio brought us back to our senses, and we temporarily put aside our worries about Shibata.

Kanzaki, who was the second strongest fighter in the class, was assigned to the second lane of the fourth group, and Class D sent out Ayanokouji, who was on the second lane.

In this group match, there was no doubt that Kanzaki stood out and won the first place, and Ayanokouji was not to be outdone, except for the one from Class B, who won the third place.

The following matches also proceeded in an orderly manner. Sudo, who is worth mentioning in Class D, was placed in the last group, and we arranged Kaito Okabe to play in the opposite group.

In fact, Okabe's running speed is not slow, but he has not been able to show a good performance in jumping over the hurdles during the training period, which has caused him to be the last in the class in the [110m Hurdles] event.

Although it was not as extreme as the student Waimura from Class D who knocked down all the hurdles, he still made the mistake of knocking down two hurdles.

In addition, the students from other classes who were arranged in the last group did not have much strength, just like in the previous [100m race]. Unexpectedly, the contestants arranged by Class C were Nomura and Suzuki.
