Real teaching, hypocritical gray life

If Class A is a collegial class and Ichinose is the chairman, then Kanzaki is the vice-chairman. However, he currently cannot play the role that Hirata, Horikita, or even Kushida in Class D play among the students.

Of course, the assumption I made about the breakdown with Ichinose just now was not a whim, but something that could happen. Her kindness can be her powerful weapon and her advantage, but it can also be a disadvantage and even be exploited by others.

People are not all the same.

Of course, it is impossible for all students in Class A to have the same ideas all the time, but when faced with different options, they will entrust the right to choose to Ichinose with absolute trust, which is why the students in Class A are so united.

Although it seems like they are united, the basic responsibilities of the class are controlled by one person, leaving Ichinose to shoulder all the responsibilities of the class. With her personality, she is not qualified for this at least for now.

That is to say, before she truly grows up, she needs other companions to help her fill in her shortcomings, and Kanzaki can be one of the candidates.

This is the inevitable result of Ichinose's personal considerations, and it is also necessary for the class.

The two major strengths of Class A are very similar to the qualities possessed by Ichinose.

——Excellent overall strength and unity among students.

Like Ichinose, they have not grown up either, which means they are not as indestructible as they appear.

The unity of Class A is extremely dependent on the bonding of the core character Ichinose. Her coordination among the students in the class is indispensable, and it is because of this that she can lead Class A forward.

In the absence of Ichinose, although the students in Class A can get along harmoniously and there won't be any major conflicts, the entire class will obviously be stuck in the same place and unable to move forward as united as usual.

It would not be an exaggeration to describe this situation as a chronic death.

"........."

Ahhh, really, from the beginning...

No, I should say that I don't know since when I started to be so passionate about things.

Obviously, at the beginning I just wanted to wait and see how this war would end, wondering whether Ichinose would die or be reborn, and what would become of this class.

Now, why am I so desperate?

Am I not clear enough about who I am?

..........

No, I know myself better than anyone else.

Definitely.

Therefore, the result of this "correction" will become the same as the previous experience.

As a "cancer", I will not let go of any team I am in.

Yes, it won't stop until it completely collapses.

"........."

This silence lasted until the end of the third grade [Borrowed Objects Race] competition. There was no chance to wait, the end also meant the beginning, when the broadcast in the playground sounded again, we all embarked on the journey of the [Four-way Tug of War] competition.

Among them, of course, is Shibata.

".............Huh, I finally won."

"Yeah, I'm so exhausted... After this tug-of-war, I feel like my body is going to ache for three days straight... Just thinking about how much effort it will take to get up tomorrow has made me lose hope for the future."

"Tomorrow it won't just be painful to get up, but all kinds of physical activities will become difficult. Even if I just sit there, the unbearable pain will linger... Ah, I really don't want to face my body tomorrow..."

After the [Four-way Tug of War] competition ended, the contestants collapsed in their own camp. This battle was more difficult than expected. The four-way battle required the students' strength and will to reach an untouchable level in order to win.

Although we prepared substitutes for the injured students, there was still a gap in strength between us and the original team, and in the end, the first place victory came quite hard.

As a result, our class's total competitive points in the comprehensive evaluation surpassed Class C by a small margin, but if I'm not mistaken, we will fall again in the upcoming [Mixed Three-legged Race]. The current battle situation is still quite tense.

If we spent a lot of points on substitutes but still failed to beat Class C in the end, the result would undoubtedly be a huge loss for us.

The only consolation is that the Red Group is still far ahead of the White Group, so there will be no punishment for ranking second in the class during the school year.

"..........Can you still hold on?"

While everyone was still immersed in their own exhaustion, I walked up to Shibata and handed him a brand new plastic bottle.

Shibata did not respond to me immediately. Instead, he lowered his head and looked miserable for a while before taking the water from my hand. He then slowly stood up and acted as if nothing had happened.

"Of course, I feel much better now, maybe I will have no problem in the next game......"

Even in front of me who knew about the pain, Shibata still acted strong.

"Your breathing is completely disordered... The tug-of-war game just now has made your body unable to continue."

"I think I can hold out until the sports festival is over."

"........."

Really stubborn.

Even though you have already tried your best, are you still unwilling to give up your persistence?

But this kind of thing is also expected, after all, most of the students in Class A are full of similar stupid and hot-blooded people.

So now is the best time to attack his psychological defenses.

"Does that mean you still don't intend to tell everyone about your physical condition?"

"............If I tell the truth, I won't be able to qualify for the next recommendation competition."

"Since your body has warned you, why don't you try to give up? As I said before, relying on others is also a manifestation of ability. In addition........."

I paused for a moment, and finally put the fact that Shibata refused to face clearly in front of him.

"Even if Shibata-kun continues to participate in the competition despite the pain, can you guarantee that we will win the subsequent recommended competitions?"

"........."

As expected, Shibata hesitated.

"If you can't, the only thing we would lose is the points we would have spent on making a substitute option, but your reluctance might cause us to lose a powerful fighter in the future. So I personally don't recommend that you continue to participate in the operation."

"........Are you planning to stop me?"

After a moment's silence, Shibata asked me with a wry smile.

"No, I'm just explaining the pros and cons to you. If I wanted to stop you, your injury would have been known to everyone in the class. In addition, I think that when considering the class, you should put yourself first, at least do what you can, instead of just being stubborn."

"........."

After listening to what I said, Shibata smiled weakly while holding the plastic bottle.

"Lord Luo, you really are......."

"I can't imagine you saying something like that. You always complain about troubles... Are you actually very capable?"

Finally, Shibata came to this conclusion, but I did not respond to him.

There was not much time left until the next competition, and I needed to know if he had grown during this period.

The two of us were enveloped in silence. Although there were still students outside groaning in pain, it seemed unimportant. There were always sounds in the air that humans could not hear. Their words could be completely ignored. Now was the time to concentrate.

"Can you answer a question for me?"

"........."

"If, I mean if, if I really choose to quit because of the pain of my body... can someone take my place?"

After a long silence, Shibata made the final decision.

"No one can take your place in the class, and the same goes for the sports festival, but everyone in the class is your companion. Isn't the meaning of companions to help each other? At least someone can help you complete the rest of the journey, instead of leaving with regret."

"Yeah.........."

Team, what is a team?

The so-called team is a tool to seek benefits for oneself.

It will not be let go until all its surplus value has been squeezed out.

Shibata still has value for use today.

"So Luo Jun, can you help me lead this class to victory?"

".......I'm sorry, my physical condition is also in front of you, so I can't respond to your request, but at least I will do my best."

“I see…I understand…”

Shibata chose to quit, so he would not be the traitor in Class A.

at least,

It seems so now.

Chapter 172: Luo Jun is really evil-minded

The sports festival is almost over.

After the [Four-way Tug of War] competition, the remaining competitions are [Mixed Three-legged Race for Both Male and Female Students] and the final [All-school Mixed 2000m Relay Race].

Although there are only two competitive events left, the physical condition of our Class A students is gradually declining, and this situation has even affected the positive mental state of some students.

"Please come on, everyone. Let's hold on for a while longer!"

Ichinose cheered us on in front of the class camp, and many students responded.

In fact, we must also cheer up in the next two games, because either one of them is crucial to our victory.

Although we have temporarily won the first place in the overall competition, the gap with the second place is not that big. Winning the three-legged race can more effectively guarantee the accumulation of points, in order to prevent the reversal of the three-times point reward in the relay race, which is higher than the usual recommended competitive events.

[The first-year [mixed gender three-legged race] competition is about to begin. Please enter the venue in time. 】

The third grade's [Four-way Tug of War] competition also came to an end at this moment, and at the same time we also started a new round of competition.

Since I won't be required to participate in the next two competitions, I can relax and quietly watch the results of the sports festival.

"Kayoko, and Shibata-san, it's time to set off."

After the broadcast announcement, all the contestants stood up at the first opportunity. However, such desirable assimilation was not shown by Wakayama and Shibata.

Although Kanzaki mentioned to me before that Wakayama-san could no longer participate in the next recommended competition, in fact, she told Ichinose that she needed to adjust herself so that she could perform better in the three-legged race and relay race. But now the situation seems to have changed again.

As for Shibata's situation, I am clear about it. He decided to confess his injuries to everyone at this time.

"Captain Ichinose, I think I may not be able to participate in the next competition."

Shibata had already spoken, and the students around him all looked puzzled, but Ichinose let out a long sigh as expected.

"As expected, Shibata-san has some health problems as well."

"Has it been discovered........."

Realizing that he had been seen through long ago, Shibata scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Yes, that's right. But I only discovered it during the last 200m race in the morning. Although Shibata-kun won the second place in the group stage, his performance level was very different from usual. So, what's the real situation?"

".............I concealed the injuries I suffered in the hurdle accident," Shibata said, lifting his sports shirt slightly, exposing the bandages wrapped around his waist to our sight. Some students even cried out in surprise.

"Although I guessed that Shibata-san concealed his injuries, I didn't expect them to be so serious... Are the wounds on your body really not serious?"

"If it's serious, I wouldn't be here right now. But the situation is not as easy as it looks. At least I can't play in the next game. Sorry for dragging you down......"

Shibata bowed his head and begged for our forgiveness, but he actually did nothing wrong. None of us could resist Ryuen's attack, and this time it was the other side's trick that won.

"No, we should apologize for not noticing Shibata-kun's physical condition in advance, and for not considering all aspects comprehensively... Isn't the extent of his injury even worse now?"

"It's still within my tolerance range, please don't worry. So can I ask you to win the game for me?"

"That's beyond doubt. Since Sa is still working hard for the class's victory even though he's injured, why should we give up?"

"That's right. We have to defeat those guys in Class C even if we get hurt. We have been 'taken care of' by them so far. It's time to give them something back."

"Sa, just rest assured and leave the rest to us."

Although no one knew what was going on, the emotions of the students in the class were aroused at this moment, as if they had extra energy reserves. However, emotions can indeed become personal motivation in special situations.

"You can't do that. Although I understand your determination to bring victory to the class, your personal health is the most important. I will never allow you to force yourself to fight like Shibata-kun did."

"Ha ha.........."

The passion among the boys was "cruelly" extinguished by Ichinose's sudden threat, and turned into a sneer on their faces, and I also felt sorry for its disappearance.

I have always found it difficult to give a definitive conclusion about the purpose of Class A. Although I understand it in my heart, it is always difficult to express it in words or describe it in text. This may be related to my personal experience or shallow knowledge. In short, I can feel it unexpectedly.

After all, I am also a person who survives by relying on feelings.
