Zongman, working as a teaching assistant in Trasen

Continuing to live up to her character, Riko didn't even glance at the horse girl behind her, but straightened her back slightly and said confidently, "It seems that you are just a foolish person who is bullying others. You didn't even understand how to benefit the students, but you rashly confronted me without even leaving yourself a way out."

"...Heh, so you're still too naive."

Pretending to sigh softly, Uozuka Saburo raised his hand to smooth the wrinkles on his sleeves, then leisurely stood up and said, "I never thought I could succeed by relying on a bunch of fence-sitters. My previous 'advice' was just a casual move. True victory can never be achieved by relying on baseless lies. Isn't that right?"

"...So, how else do you want to win, Mr. Uozuka Saburo?"

Snapped.

"Isn't that obvious?"

Putting his sunglasses back on and donning a wickedly confident grin, Uozuka Saburo took two steps around the table and addressed Riko Motomoto and the group of horsegirl students behind her, "Of course, horsegirl matters should be decided the way horsegirls should be decided. All that nonsense about 'for the students' good' and 'for their physical and mental well-being'? An education system that leaves students unable to outrun others and unable to achieve results in competitions is rubbish!"

"!!!"

This was a very sharp and unpleasant statement, but it was true to some extent. Even before Riko Motomoto came, most of the students at Kasamatsu Tressen Academy had thought that "I am trash and I can never get good grades." Both physically and mentally, they were on the road to lying down and dying.

But...but...

Although it was not proactive or voluntary, they have worked very hard in the past two years.

Every morning, we couldn't sleep in. We had to line up like elementary school students for roll call and then run five kilometers. Not only were we not allowed to use our phones during class, we weren't even allowed to slack off. All day, we were faced with a mountain of endless homework and worried about it. When it came time for school evaluations, we were incredibly nervous, afraid we'd lose our ranking and grades and end up withholding our free cafeteria meals. There was also the 9:00 a.m. curfew and no leaving the school on weekdays...

They gritted their teeth, endured it, and endured it bit by bit for two years! ?

After all the hardship and effort we've endured, you're trying to negate our efforts with a simple word like "rubbish"?

Shit, Lei!

————Of course, they didn’t dare to say these words directly out loud.

It's not that I'm afraid...but what if that guy takes advantage of the situation and says that Ben Riko hasn't improved the school spirit and directly expel her?

But they didn't have the courage to curse, but they had the courage to glare and vote with their feet: for a moment, the entire horse girl group, no matter if they had grudges or just disliked each other, were united because of Uozuka Saburo's rude remarks.

Noticing this pressure, yet completely ignoring it as if it were nothing, Uozuka Saburo unburdened himself by stating his final plan: "So, let's decide the outcome by running: whoever wins will truly possess this academy!"

...Running? Did he mean racing?

Who are we racing against? Are we racing against those three horse girls over there in a team race?

Hmm... If I don't target Oguruma, but instead aim for the second to fourth places...

Although he was belittled by Riko Uomoto and Saburo Uozuka in turn, Kasamatsu had many horse girls who had been enrolled for several years. The moment Saburo Uozuka said it, he had already thought of the format of the competition and began to evaluate the possibility of winning in his mind.

With Oguri Hat around, team competition is the only way for Kasamatsu's side to win. No matter how powerful that guy with the big black sunglasses is, he can't come up with a method that will absolutely prevent us from winning... right?

"running?"

"Yes, running."

"...What tricks are you trying to pull?"

Once again, without further ado, Riko spoke out everyone's thoughts, crossing her arms and frowning, "How do we run? Who do we run with? How will the winner be determined? How long will it take? And don't even think of any rubbish like 'let all the horse girls take turns challenging Oguruma!' I'm still the acting director, and I absolutely won't allow it!"

"Tsk, why are you still saying that?" Uozuka Saburo laughed and said meaningfully, "Whether you agree or not is not up to you at all. It's up to the students of this school to decide, isn't it?"

"...I recognize this director as my representative."

"Ok?"

Riko Ben turned around and looked at Fujimasa in surprise, her mind a little confused as she listened to the words coming out of her mouth: "Just this once, on this matter, I agree with Riko Ben speaking as my representative. Her meaning is my meaning, and her approval is my approval!"

"!!?"

"Huh? Then..."

"And me! Ace of Norn, give Riko Moto the power to make decisions on my behalf in this matter!"

"...Tsk, Rudy Lemo! Me too!"

"Mini Lady...give the power of representation!"

"And I......"

With the actions of a leader, a responder, and two instigators who didn't understand the situation and just followed suit, a total of more than 70 horse girls in the cafeteria raised their hands and shouted slogans that gave Riko Motoko her will.

It is impossible to tell how many of these people are sincere and how many are just joining in the fun, but the consequences are clear:

From this moment on, Riko Motomoto will truly obtain all the power of the chairman of the board of directors of this academy in both theory and practice, and no force will stand in her way anymore.

Because she is the agent recognized by "all students"! Opposing her is opposing the students!

This is righteousness!

Chapter 226: It’s worth paying to read it!

Riko had suspected Uozuka Saburo's motive for this drama: simply to do her a favor before leaving, to straighten out the students' attitudes and stop them from constantly opposing him and getting in her way. But she had never imagined it would be so effective...

Although the method is a bit crude, it is really admirable that such an effect can be achieved in such a short time.

However, the goal has been achieved, but the story is not over yet - what kind of competition method will he come up with to bring this drama to a perfect end?

With such expectations, Riko raised her hand to stop the students' slogans and stared at Uozuka Saburo without saying a word. Her meaning was very clear:

I've played all my cards, it's your turn!

Uozuka Saburo smiled, gave the three horse girls beside him a look, raised his bowler hat and whispered, "Have you heard of the 'half marathon'?"

"......ha?"

----------

Humans have never been a race known for their physical strength.

Not to mention large carnivores like lions, tigers, leopards and bears, without the right tools, humans cannot even beat a wild wolf or hyena in a one-on-one fight. Even smaller wild cats can be killed by sneak attacks and desperate bites.

Animals that are not as agile as humans are stronger than humans, animals that are less strong than humans are faster than humans, and some animals that are less strong than humans in both aspects have more hair and thicker skin than humans, giving them a slight advantage in fights.

In a sense, humans can even be called "weak" - completely weak in the biological sense.

But precisely because of this, humans, who possess wisdom unmatched by other beasts, have not only learned how to use tools to assist themselves, but have also further developed methods to transform their own bodies: consciously and repeatedly training a certain ability to make themselves more specialized in certain aspects.

The most famous and widely spread method is "running".

"...Are you really going to do this?"

Standing by the track with her arms folded, watching Uozuka Saburo, who had changed into an oversized sports outfit that still looked like a leotard, Riko couldn't help but whisper, "Racing against Uma Musume is ridiculous enough in itself, and now you're actually trying to compete with them in a long-distance race...Are you really not afraid of being left behind by a dozen laps and losing face?"

"Phew~ Don't be so nervous, Director Ben."

Twisting his body joints and letting out a long breath, Uozuka Saburo had a sinister expression on his face, but his tone was very calm. "I know that the current world record for the human half marathon is one hour and two minutes, which converts to an average speed of just 20 kilometers per hour. It can't compare to the or mph speeds of the horse girls. But have you ever seen them run kilometers in one breath, even once?"

"...I haven't seen it, but I know that when they do endurance training, the cumulative mileage they cover in a whole day can easily exceed 100 kilometers. There's no way you can beat them."

?Riko Ben said with a complicated look in her eyes.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you're a veteran trainer, how could you forget even such common sense?"

He twisted his waist, causing all the muscles in his body to ripple like waves. Uozuka Saburo said with a wicked smile, "Doing one hundred push-ups and one hundred push-ups have completely different meanings—the latter can easily lift the former up and beat them!"

"..."

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. Don't worry anymore. Just watch me perform."

Uozuka Saburo maintained his expression, brought his large, square face closer, and said, "Now, give me a cold, sharp look, then turn away with a furious expression, and we can prepare for our finale."

"......Humph!"

Although she was very unhappy with the other party's style of making decisions without authorization, she also knew that now was not the time to talk about it. At the same time, she was also a little grateful. Ben Lizi had no choice but to follow his wishes. She turned around and put on a Sima face for everyone to see, and at the same time strengthened the determination of the other horse girls:

Although this seems a bit unfair, since the other party took the initiative to propose it, they don't need to be polite. They can just let this bastard who is looking for death fail miserably without showing any mercy!

Yes, courting death, this is what almost everyone thought after Uozuka Saburo explained the competition system:

Nine horse girls are randomly selected from Kasamatsu Tressen Academy, and they stand on the track with him to run 21 kilometers. As long as Uozuka Saburo himself does not get first place, Kasamatsu Tressen Academy will be considered the winner.

In the eyes of many people, this is no longer just letting the game go... this is simply surrendering in advance!

How could any human want to compete with a horse girl in such a long distance race?

Aren't you afraid of being socially disgraced and losing face?!

Such doubts also appeared in the minds of a few insiders, especially Fujimasa March, who received a call last night saying that he would come to help cooperate today. He stood there in a daze for a long time and didn't dare to say a word.

"Brother, what do you mean by this? Do you want us to agree or disagree? Can you give me a message?"

Unfortunately, she did not wait for Uozuka Saburo's instructions, but followed the trend and agreed. She qualified as the "lucky horse girl" and came to the 3,200-meter track that was so familiar to her.

Although Kasamatsu Tressen has a certain gap with Central Tressen in many teaching equipments, it is definitely not lacking in supporting facilities such as running tracks, timing, starting, and high-speed cameras.

Therefore, relying on the publicity of more than 70 horse girls in the cafeteria and the coordination of Riko Ben, the largest playground was cleaned up in less than half an hour, and several temporary scaffoldings were set up, surrounding the super-large playground with three layers inside and three layers outside.

After all, this is a race between humans and horsegirls! ?

Or running over 3200 kilometers in one go, which is equivalent to seven laps of a -meter long-distance track! ?

Although everyone has seen many different types of running and fancy running operations, and thinks that they have seen and experienced everything in their lives...but this situation is definitely not one of them!

These horse girls have never seen such amazing maneuvers since they were born. It's so rare and so talked about that it's worth watching even if you have to stop training for a whole day or even pay a little more for the ticket!!

"Hey...what the hell are you thinking about!?"

Chapter 227: Are you sure you can outrun him?

As Riko Motomoto stood on the podium, using a loudspeaker to briefly explain the events to the growing crowd of onlookers, Fujimasa finally seized the opportunity, seizing the track beside Uozuka Saburo and muttering in exasperation, "Everything was going smoothly up front, and the goal was almost achieved. Why did you make such a foolish move at the last moment? Just admitting defeat right then and there isn't the way you want to do it!?"

"...When did I ever say I was giving up?"

"what!?"

Meeting Uozuka Saburo's calm triangular eyes, Fujimasa March suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief and stammered, "You...you, you really want to win this race?! Don't be ridiculous! This is not funny!"

"Hey, look at what you said, how did it become a joke?"

Shrugging his shoulders, he saw out of the corner of his eye that Ben Lizi had turned slightly to the side, seemingly about to finish her speech. Uozuka Saburo turned around and said to Fujimasa: "How dare a mere horse girl speak so arrogantly in front of me? Don't underestimate humans!"

"Huh? When did I... cough cough, I'll make sure you pay for it!"

He was halfway through his words when he remembered that he was still on the track. Fujimasa March hurriedly coughed before the other horse girls noticed him. With a ferocious look on his face, he said some harsh words and walked back to his track with his head held high, but he couldn't help but think in his heart.

What on earth does this guy mean? How could someone this stupid actually think a human could beat a horse girl in a run?

But considering his usual logical and clear behavior, it doesn't seem like he's suddenly gone insane. Could it be... that he has some back-up plan?

...Just in case, let's make some preparations to cover him up, so that this guy won't get into trouble due to overconfidence.

Fujimasa March silently glanced at the horse girls beside him from the corner of his eye and changed his "skill status" from yellow and green to all red.

Because it was not a formal race and there was no need to strictly measure the distance to ensure that the course met the half marathon standards, Riko Ben simply decided to run 3200 laps of the 7-meter track, which was exactly 22.4 kilometers.

Uozuka Saburo and the other horse girls had no objection to this. After they found out the whole story, they had absolutely no intention of showing mercy and were all vying to teach this Central Special Envoy a lesson.

"All players, take your positions!!!"

There was no fence, no signal light, and nine horse girls and one human just stood side by side behind the starting line, looking straight ahead, waiting for the starting gun to be fired.

Bang!

boom----

A burst of white smoke came out of the black gun in Moto Riko's hand, and a piece of broken soil suddenly rose up on the grass in front of her. Ten shadows like arrows shot out, and the game that would decide the fate of Kasamatsu Tresen Academy officially began!

Then, when the smoke and dust cleared and the view became clear again, a scene that no one present had expected appeared:

That human, Uozuka Saburo, actually rushed to the front like a fleeing horse!

"How is this possible!? What kind of speed is this!?"

"So fast! How is it possible for a human to run so fast!?"

"Come on! Kasamatsu Tresen!!!"

I...we also want to cheer up! ? ?
