Tokyo: Restricted Tutor.

"Okay, in that case, then everyone, please stand up and walk to the playground in an orderly manner. Today's competition is different from yesterday's. I remember that several students in our class have signed up for the long-distance running event. We must cheer them on when the time comes. After all, they are all contributing to our class."

The teacher said at this time.

After hearing the teacher's words, those students who no longer had events or did not participate in the competition all looked at those who had signed up for long-distance running.

At this moment, Tanaka Taihe felt dozens of burning gazes falling on him.

"Hasn't Hojo Saki Rei won many championships? Then I must win the championship in this long-distance race too!"

"Didn't Shiratori Kiku-san say that being with Hojo Saki Rei makes you feel safe? Then I'll show off my masculine charm!"

"No matter what, at least I want her to know that not agreeing to be with me and choosing to be with Hojo Saki Rei was the worst decision she ever made in her life!"

When he noticed that many classmates were looking at him, Tanaka Taihe made a decision in his heart.

The school's football field.

As the bell rang, the principal's voice also sounded on the radio.

At this moment, all the classes came to the football field one after another and stood in formation.

Because the principal had already given a speech yesterday, there was not much to say today. After a few simple words, the sports meeting began again.

After the draw, Hojo Saki Rei was drawn to the third round.

At this time, Asahi Rinka was even more nervous than Hojo Saki Rei. After seeing someone in front of her start running, the hand that was holding Hojo Saki Rei's arm also slowly increased the strength at this moment.

Feeling the soft touch on his arm getting stronger and stronger, Hojo Saki Rei glanced at Asahi Rinka inadvertently, but soon returned his gaze to the track.

"Qi Li-kun, these people are running so fast, can you come in first?"

Asahi Rinka's voice sounded at this time. When he heard her say this, Hojo Saki Rei turned around in surprise.

"What's wrong? Do you really want me to get first place?"

Hojo Zaki Rei did not answer her, but asked back at this time.

"Of course."

"Qi Li-kun, you won three championships yesterday. If you win one more this time, that would be four. As for the sprint, forget it. After all, this is a 3,000-meter long-distance race. You'll be exhausted by the end of it."

"Also, many people say that you can only win championships in high jump and long jump, and that if you actually run, you're not even as good as them. Those people's words are really harsh, so I want Manager Hojo Saki Rei to win first place, so that I can slap them in the face."

"Qi Li-kun, you can do it, right?"

Just as Hojo Saki Rei finished speaking, Asahi Rinka hurriedly spoke at this time.

Hearing Asahi Rinka say this, Hojo Zaki Rei couldn't help but smile, then reached out and rubbed her head.

Faced with such intimate behavior from Hojo Saki Rei, Asahi Rinka did not move away, but instead looked very happy.

"In that case, let's give it a try."

If it were before, Hojo Saki Rei would have had no idea about winning the championship.

But now that Asahi Rinka has said so, and considering how much she wants to win the championship, Hojo Saki Rei will reluctantly give it a try.

Chapter 121 The final sprint

"Of course, if Qi Li-kun is tired, he can rest. Compared to winning the championship or something, I care more about Qi Li-kun's safety."

Asahi Rinka added at this time.

Hearing Asahi Rinka say this, Hojo Zaki Rei couldn't help but feel very relieved.

Asahi Rinka is good in every way, except that she is beautiful, gentle and kind.

And they behave very well in front of me.

Such a girl is someone that no boy can refuse.

Even Hojo Saki Rei is no exception.

So when he saw Rinka Asahi caring about him so much, he just felt warm in his heart.

"Why the hell did a scumbag like me have to be cared for and loved by such a gentle and kind girl? Did I save the galaxy in my past life?"

"No, it's because I'm a time traveler!"

Shaking his head, Hojo Zaki Rei stopped thinking about it.

And the other side.

When Takuya Eshiya saw that Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka were still so close, his eyes were about to spit fire.

Over time.

After about an hour and a half, it was the turn of Hojo Saki Rei's group.

When Hojo Saki Rei was about to go on stage, Asahi Rinka gave him a big hug.

"Qi Li-kun, be careful."

As Asahi Rinka said this, her face was full of concern.

When hearing Asahi Rinka say this, Hojo Saki Rei didn't care. He just casually said don't worry and walked towards the starting line.

"You are Hojo Saki Rei, right? I'd like to know if you can beat us in running as well."

Just when Hojo Saki Rei had just arrived at the starting line, a boy who looked relatively strong suddenly said this.

This boy was standing on the left of Hojo Saki Rei, not far away from each other. When he looked at Hojo Saki Rei, his eyes were full of contempt.

Hearing the boy in front of him talking to him, Hojo Saki Rei couldn't help but frown.

"Classmate, do I know you?"

Hojo Zaki Rei asked.

Hojo Saki Rei was somewhat speechless after being told such a thing for no apparent reason.

"We don't know each other, but I used to like Shiratori-san, and I was also her suitor."

"Since she chose you, I naturally believe in her judgment. I just hope you don't disappoint her, otherwise I will look down on you."

In response to Hojo Saki Rei's question, the boy spoke directly.

After hearing the boy say this, Hojo Saki Rei felt even more speechless.

He didn't expect that this boy was still so childish even though he was already in his second year of high school and would soon be in his third year.

Not to mention that Hojo Saki Rei is not Shiratori Eki's boyfriend at all, and has no other relationship with Shiratori Eki.

Even if Shiratori is his girlfriend, what right do others have to say anything about him?

Is it because he can't run faster than the other person that he doesn't deserve Shiratori's love?

If this kind of thing were to be told to others, it would surely make others laugh.

"What's wrong? You didn't say a word. Are you scared before it even started?"

Seeing that Hojo Saki Rei did not respond to him, the boy spoke again at this time.

"I just don't want to bother with fools."

Faced with the boy's provocation, Hojo Saki Rei really didn't want to pay any attention to him.

But he is not the kind of person who allows others to talk about him without fighting back.

"Who are you calling a fool? I never thought Shiratori-kun would fall for someone as impolite as you."

"As a man, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"If you lose to me in this running race, you will break up with Shiratori-san and tell her that you are not worthy of her."

"If I lose to you, from now on, no matter who says something bad about you, I will stand by you and help you stop them. Don't let anyone disturb you and Shiratori-san."

When the classmate heard Hojo Saki Rei call him a fool, he seemed a little angry, but he was not a fool. Instead, he proposed to bet with Hojo Saki Rei at this time.

After hearing what he said, Hojo Saki Rei, who originally didn't want to pay any attention to him, agreed without any concern.

Although Hojo Zaki Rei didn't take them seriously at all, if he did nothing, he might get into trouble, which was not the result Hojo Zaki Rei wanted.

"Okay, if that's the case, then it's settled."

After saying this, Hojo Zaki Rei ignored him.

When the boy heard that Hojo Saki Rei agreed so readily, a smile of success appeared on his face.

"You idiot, you promised me this, don't regret it after you lose, that would be unmanly."

As if he was afraid that Hojo Zaki Rei would go back on his word, he provoked Hojo Zaki Rei again.

"Don't think I'm as shameless as you guys. Shiratori Li has already said that she already has someone she likes, and yet you guys are still pestering her."

"Don't worry, I won't lose to a fool like you."

Hojo Zaki Rei countered.

Then, just as Hojo Saki Rei finished speaking, the countdown began at this moment.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"boom!"

As the starting gun sounded, everyone in the third group ran out as fast as an arrow.

Faced with all this, Hojo Zaki Rei did not seem that anxious.

This is a 3,000-meter long-distance race, not a 100-meter sprint. If you run forward as hard as you can at the beginning, you will overestimate your endurance. In that case, you will only see your opponent slowly approaching you and eventually surpassing you.

How could Hojo Sakirei, as a time traveler, not know about this situation?

So when he saw those classmates rushing out quickly, he just ran forward at his normal speed.

For a moment, the speed of Hojo Saki Rei began to form a sharp contrast with that of other students.

When they saw that other students were running forward with all their might, but Hojo Saki Rei deliberately slowed down, the students and teachers who were watching the game started talking about it at this moment.

"Which class is this student from? Why is he so slow?"

"I know who he is. Isn't he Hojo Zaki Rei from Class 2-3 of Senior High School?"

"Why is this student so different from the others? The others are running as fast as they can, but he seems to be taking this race so lightly. He's running so slowly."

"What do you know? Judging from the way you look, you've probably never participated in a long-distance run before, right? Long-distance running is about endurance, not explosive power. Whoever can hold on to the end is the winner. Don't be fooled by how fast the other students are. After running for a while, their speed will slow down and they might even be worse than this student."

"What's going on? Is Hojo Saki Rei injured? Why is his condition today so much worse than yesterday?"

"I find this strange too. Could it be that after winning three championships, Hojo Saki Rei doesn't want to win anymore?"

"..."

Next to the football field.

The sound of students discussing could be heard by the river, but Asahi Rinka didn't care at all.

Although it has just begun, the other students are already far ahead of Hojo Saki Rei.

But Asahi Rinka also had some knowledge about running.

The most important thing is that since Hojo Saki Rei has promised her that she can win the championship this time, she believes that Hojo Saki Rei can definitely do it.

Like Asahi Rinka, the teachers nearby also nodded silently when they saw that Hojo Saki Rei did not run forward desperately like other students from the beginning.

As people who have been through it, they naturally know that long-distance running is not about the initial speed.

As time went by, when they had run nearly half the distance, some students could no longer maintain their previous speed, and their speed was gradually slowing down.

The student who had made a bet with Hojo Saki Rei before had also begun to slow down sharply.

However, he had tried his best from the very beginning, so at this moment he was not afraid that Hojo Saki Rei would overtake him.

"That guy should still be eating dust in the back right now. He's simply dreaming of beating me. With his speed, he still wants to win this competition. It's ridiculous."

The boy turned his head while thinking, trying to find Hojo Saki Rei on the football field track.

However, at this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew past him.

When he reacted, he saw that someone had surpassed him.

Upon closer inspection, the person turned out to be Hojo Saki Rei, who had already fallen far behind him before.
