Real teaching, hypocritical gray life

It was said to be an accident, but in fact it looked more like a deliberate plan.

Although Horikita tried her best to stand up after falling, the pain continued to affect her and she was overtaken by other players, and the second place finally fell into the hands of our class A. Horikita unexpectedly became the seventh in the team, while Kinoshita lost the ability to compete directly.

After the game, it was learned that this match could not be regarded as a deliberate frame-up, but was treated as a match accident. On the one hand, it was Horikita's strange behavior, and on the other hand, it was Kinoshita's best efforts.

This was the explanation, and Kinoshita was also carried away on a stretcher from the temporary infirmary due to his serious injuries.

After seeing this scene, Kanzaki frowned solemnly. It seemed that he was indeed observing the direction of this sports festival carefully.

One or two arrangements can be said to be coincidences, but the word "coincidence" also has an upper limit to its literal meaning.

Sherlock Holmes once said a famous saying

——Exclude all the impossible, and whatever remains, no matter how incredible it is, is a fact.

Now we are thinking about the facts that remain in the shadows. Although the truth has not yet been known, all parties have almost touched the edge.

Ichinose also appeared in the next group, but compared to Horikita, nothing happened here.

However, we did not get a satisfactory result in such a peaceful competition. Ichinose was not good at mobilizing the control nerves of his body, so he was one step behind the others in the initial balance beam. In addition, in the final saddlebag segment, Ichinose's feet were not able to jump out smoothly, causing him to fall hard during the process and only won fifth place.

It was a fact that she was not good at sports, but fortunately other classes did not target her too much and at best they only suppressed her in ranking.

The girls' obstacle course races were going on one after another, but almost no group reached the expected results smoothly. It seemed as if all the competitions were controlled by bad luck, and failure was often placed on us.

The boys who were watching the game in their own camp also realized that the situation on the field was not good.

"Is it my imagination...? Why do I feel like Wakayama-san is running so slowly?"

Wakayama was placed in the last group of the [Women's] Obstacle Course, and won the championship as the first place, but now she keeps making mistakes and is very careful when crossing obstacles. Although she is still third in the group, there is always an indescribable sense of disharmony in her pace.

"Don't you know? Ruoshan was injured in the calf by something during the throwing game."

"...something?"

I became curious about this ambiguous word in Kanzaki's explanation.

"Because the battle was so intense, she herself didn't know what had injured her."

"It sounds quite scary..."

In this game, our class members all suffered more or less extra physical exertion, and the number of injured students was more than expected.

However, the sports festival was only halfway through.

So far, Ichinose's results are one second place, one fourth place, and one fifth place, totaling twenty-seven points (27 points); Kanzaki has three first places, totaling forty-five points (45 points), Shibata has one first place, one second place, and one sixth place, totaling thirty-three points (33 points), and I have one first place, two third places, totaling thirty-five points (35 points).

My personal competitive score is higher than Shibata's, and I feel that the direction of things has deviated from what we were supposed to see.

After the game, Ichinose also came to us with a worried look on his face.

Things have developed to this point, even the most obtuse students would have discovered the truth.

——The entry forms of our two classes may have been leaked.

Chapter 165: The Battle Called "Destiny"

After the first-year sports festival obstacle race ended, the school did not give us any extra time to rest, and we first-year boys immediately started the men's three-legged race.

During the training before the sports festival, the key task of tying the rope was placed on me. However, when the actual competition started, Shiratori took the initiative to take over the work. Since I personally didn't want to make unnecessary movements, I let Shiratori wrap the thick rope between us with a fairly tight tension.

"By the way, how many competitive points have you earned now?"

The so-called competition points are the rewards given by the school to the contestants with corresponding rankings after the end of the competition. The purpose is to evaluate the winning students, classes, and groups after the sports festival.

So far, my performance has been very impressive, and I have achieved unexpectedly excellent results, so I can proudly and confidently state the number of my competitive points.

"One first place, two third places, a total of thirty-five competitive points."

In individual competitive events that require full participation, the first place winner will receive 15 competitive points, and the third place winner will receive 10 competitive points.

After hearing my answer, Shiratori showed an exaggerated look.

"Hey, I think your ranking is a bit too abnormal. Did you slack off during training? I only have one first place and two fourth places, and that's only 26 competitive points. So you're nine points higher than me."

The fourth place gets 8 competitive points.

"My score is probably still good, but Kanzaki's is even more exaggerated, ten points higher than mine."

"Ah, Kanzaki is so strong in his own right."

"Speaking of which, my ranking is due to the order of appearance, and there are also some unexpected incidents..."

"Damn it, that's despicable."

"Well, as someone famous said, luck is also part of strength."

I tried to justify my abilities, but in the end I could only come up with this rather weak argument.

"I really hope your good luck can come to me."

"...If this kind of thing can be transferred, I will definitely pass on my good luck to you. This way, I won't have to participate in the recommended competition [Borrowing Objects Contest] because of rock-paper-scissors or something like that."

In order to balance the other party's hurt feelings, I made a somewhat depressed speech.

As expected, the white bird teased me.

"Haha, because you won the rock-paper-scissors duel by luck, you got a few more recommended competitions that you didn't plan to participate in, so you must be feeling pretty unhappy. After all, Luo doesn't want to consume too much energy in one day."

"That's right. The sports festival is only halfway through, but I can already feel my reserve energy running out..."

Although the individual's physical strength has not yet moved at all...

"Thank you for your hard work."

The white bird patted my back vigorously and gave me words of sympathy and comfort.

Although there are many opportunities to feign injury and withdraw from the competition in the first few competitive events, this will make it impossible to more intuitively control the sudden accidents that may occur later. It is better to maintain the status quo.

While we were still slowly tying the ropes and having a casual conversation, the competition among three groups of two first-grade boys had already begun, and the groups in front of us took action one after another.

With the thorough management of the school and the cooperation of students from all grades, the sports festival went smoothly. Even the time management was almost the same as the scheduled time on the schedule, which was enough to show the school's proficiency in handling the situation.

Since the participants in the [Three-legged Race] must form a team of two people, the number of people starting at one time is only four groups.

In the first group of the [Three-legged Race], the one who was expected to win first place was Sudo from Class D.

Although our plan is to create a suitable environment for students with motor nerve advantages according to the highest standards, Sudo's partner this time is a little different. Maybe it is because of the penalty for the top ten at the end of the school year, Sudo's partner is Chi, who performed poorly in all aspects.

In this regard, Ichinose once questioned Hirata when arranging the order of contestants before the start of physical training, and Hirata replied that they had the secret to winning. We also witnessed this rather rough action in the subsequent training.

It is not wrong to call it a secret method, but such cooperation really goes against the original intention of this project.

“Guaaaaaa——!”

Chi let out a cry at the start of the race.

In a sense, this is the ultimate way to win in the [Three-legged Race].

If we ignore the tacit cooperation between the two parties, the speed achieved when two people are tied together is slower than that of one person running alone.

But on the other hand, if you can abandon the fact of being a partner in the [Three-legged Race] event and complete the competition on your own, then you will definitely stand out in terms of speed.

Ah, the so-called method of winning in the three-legged race is to put yourself on the edge of the most dangerous foul, and the faster student half-lifts the slower student to complete the whole course.

This is the situation with Sudo and Ike. Sudo stood out in the early stages of the competition because of his high speed. Although Ike's pace and body shape were a bit forced, he managed to maintain his ranking in the end.

The referee did not give a red card during the process, so it seems that Sudo's behavior was still within the permitted range.

The next team to win in the second group was the combination of Hirata and Ayanokouji from Class D.

The third group was the performance by Shiratori and I.

Such a combination may seem inexplicably awkward. After all, we, who can't even rank in the 100-meter race, actually have an unexpected performance in such a competitive event.

Ultimately, it was because I unilaterally gave the other party a good athletic compatibility, so we were also given high hopes.

Although it was a two-person competition, it was a one-man show for me and Shiratori. In the end, we won the first place in the group stage with Shiratori's unsurprising sprint speed.

After the success, we happily returned to the shed in our own camp to rest and watch the next game.

The victory of the sixth group was taken by the 'lucky' Long Yuan, and both our AD and I felt helpless about this.

The final tenth group is the combination of Shibata and Kanzaki, a strong combination that all students in the class can feel at ease with.

The appearance of Kanzaki and Shibata attracted a lot of cheers from the students in Class A. We were cheering for them beside the track before the race even started.

Shibata just smiled awkwardly at this.

After the gun went off, the pair took first place at the start, a great start that made us exclaim.

Chasing closely behind were a group of Oda Takumi from Class C and an unknown student, who were also quite fast.

Judging from his speed, Oda Takumi himself has recovered from the injury in the obstacle race. Although his leg is still wrapped in a bandage, it is different from Shibata's.

If the one on Shibata was to prevent the wound from getting worse, then the one on Oda Takumi was to facilitate better movements.

The reason I say this is because Shibata's movements during the match were a bit stiff.

His speed should have been higher than Kanzaki's, and every time he trained, he had to find the feeling of cooperating with his opponent. Fortunately, Kanzaki's speed was not slow either, so it was easy to cooperate with him.

But judging from the current situation on the field, the person guiding and coordinating in the front is Kanzaki.

It seems that Shibata had put in some performance when he got up after falling down in the obstacle race. His injuries seemed to be more than just scratches on the surface of his skin, and there should be a deeper level of damage.

"...Is Shibata-san really okay?"

Ichinose was mumbling to herself beside me, while keeping her eyes fixed on the situation on the field.

"I don't know..."

Maybe he had been hiding his pain before.

The fierce competition between the two players for the first place also caused the audience to exclaim, and the sound of cheering and cheering from our side continued. I guess most people have noticed that something is wrong with Shibata, but for now they can only wait until the game is over before "interrogating" him.

At this moment, Shibata also noticed the students from Class C who were trying hard to catch up.

Although it is not difficult to see that Shibata himself wants to speed up, his body posture on the sports field does not show that feeling. Instead, he looks more tired and reluctant.

Gradually, we as the audience also became nervous.

Until the last moment, Shibata gritted his teeth, his body suddenly tensed up, and the expression on his face even became a little ferocious for a moment. He forced himself to increase his speed, and Kanzaki also understood what he meant and cooperated with him.

Only then did he completely distance himself from Oda from Class C and take first place.

Such a victory is really hard-won.

After the game, everyone in Class A came forward to express their condolences, but before we could let our guard down, the girls started the three-legged race.

It is worth mentioning that the situation that happened to Kanzaki and Shibata also occurred in the combination of Horikita and Kushida in Class D, as well as the combination of Ichinose and Wakayama on our side.

The problem lies with Horikita and Wakayama. It seems that their previous injuries have also affected them to some extent.

Ichinose's group was fine, and even though they played with injuries, they still won first place in the group competition. But Horikita's performance was a bit disappointing, and they only managed to get third place, and this ranking was the result of us helping them to get a place at the end of the fourth place.

If we really run, we will take their place.

It's just a pity that betrayal is a very difficult act in our united Class A.

We raced desperately, but the final victory was always just a little far away.

Our cooperation with Class D has slightly alleviated the damage. Perhaps lack of cooperation between us could have reduced the extent of the damage further, but at this point we need to take it seriously.

After the [Three-legged Race] competition ended, we were given a 10-minute break. During this time, Shibata and Wakayama were pulled to the edge of their camp by Ichinose and questioned.

Judging from the forced smiles of the two, they seemed to be trying their best to hide the fact that they were struggling. If they continued to compete with the pain, their physical energy would be consumed without any apparent meaning.

Ichinose probably also noticed this, but he didn't point it out directly, and kept guiding them through narration.

It’s just that the psychology of these two children is so stubborn that it’s difficult to solve.

As for the others, they took advantage of the 10-minute break to adjust their mindset for the sports festival.

........

Okay, just kidding.

Perhaps students from other classes will be worried about their performances in the sports festival. For example, our plan to "arrange the order of contestants based on their abilities" in pursuit of overall victory will cause many students to worry about their low competitive points.

But this situation will not happen to our class A. Not only because of the students' academic ability, but also because most of the students in our class are just hot-blooded idiots.

Although there was more than one injured person in our class during the competition, most of our students had smiles on their faces and made various gestures and movements to express their feelings after the competition.

I was unexpectedly moved by the fact that I enjoyed the sports festival from the bottom of my heart.
