"Of course I don't mean such a simple competition." Ibuki Mio raised the corner of her mouth, "How about we make a bet? The loser will..."
"Everyone is in position! Get ready!"
The second half of her sentence was drowned out by the referee's command before she could even finish her sentence.
"Well, it looks like we won't have enough time to make a bet this time, so let's leave it for next time."
Ibuki Mio shook her head with a hint of regret, then silently relaxed her leg muscles.
Live——!
The sharp whistle sounded again, and Horikita Suzune, who was listening to the instructions with full concentration, suddenly rushed forward at full speed almost at the same time as the whistle sounded. The shorter reaction time allowed her to open up a distance of nearly one-third of a body length from her companion Yukinoshita Haruno after just one start.
But Ibuki Mio is faster than her!
Before Horikita Suzune could take the second step, Ibuki Mio had already taken the third step.
The girl from Class D did not take the normal sprint start method, but took a lower position than that to reduce wind resistance.
This is the experience that Ibuki Mio summed up from countless battles with Wu Yi.
When it comes to choking, the most important thing is accuracy, followed by speed.
The speed of grabbing determines how difficult it is to complete the strangulation.
If your speed is fast enough, you can complete the strangulation technique in an instant, and the opponent will be strangled before he can even react. In terms of relative speed, it is as easy as strangling a motionless wooden dummy.
On the contrary, if the speed is too slow and the opponent is unable to react in time to block the key position, the strangulation technique will fail.
However, what a coincidence, Ibuki Mio's major is speed!
Wu Yi once jokingly called this move of hers the "cockroach sprint", but it was unexpectedly useful at this time.
"Varied……"
Horikita Suzune, who had no idea what was going on, could only stare in amazement as the other party left her far behind after just one start. After that, the gap between the two became larger and larger until she could no longer catch up.
In the end, the first round of the women's 100-meter sprint was won by Ibuki Mio, while the second and third places were taken by Horikita Suzune and Yukinoshita Haruno respectively.
At the finish line, facing the black-haired girl who clenched her fists and gasped, Ibuki Mio smiled disdainfully.
"No way, you are really weak."
Volume 154: Chapter It seems that the beating is not enough
Anger, humiliation, confusion, unwillingness...
A large amount of complicated negative emotions surged into Horikita Suzune's heart at the moment of defeat.
Of course it wasn't directed at Ibuki Mio, but at herself.
Horikita Suzune rarely feels this uncomfortable... no, it should be said that it has never happened before.
Ever since she could remember, she had always been the best among her peers, following in the footsteps of her brother, Horikita Manabu, from childhood to adulthood.
Because her brother is an excellent student, she must also get full marks in every subject.
Because her brother was very physically fit, she also worked out very hard.
Because her brother was a fifth-degree black belt in karate, she also signed up for the same karate class and learned better than everyone else in the same class, including boys. No one in the same training class could match her.
But Horikita Suzune is still not satisfied, because her brother still does not recognize her and is even becoming more and more distant from her.
Horikita Suzune does not feel resentful about this, on the contrary, she thinks this is the most important lesson her brother taught her.
——A truly powerful person does not need to cooperate with anyone.
So Horikita Suzune also began to learn to become aloof and stopped communicating with people around her, thinking that she could handle everything on her own.
Even before following in her brother's footsteps and coming to this school, Horikita Suzune once asked herself this question in the mirror.
Should she really come to this school?
Although she couldn't see it with her own eyes, Horikita Suzune was absolutely sure that her brother could live a shining life as before even in this highly competitive high school where it was said that any wish could be fulfilled.
As the younger sister of Horikita Manabu, if she also came to this school but couldn't compare with others, wouldn't that be a disgrace to her brother?
With such a dilemma, Horikita Suzune finally came to Gaoyu High School.
Just as she expected, her most admired brother had managed to maintain his dominance in Class A for three consecutive years even in this high school full of strong competitors.
He even became the student union president, managing the entire school in order.
However, she, Horikita Suzune, was informed on the day of enrollment that she was assigned to Class D, which meant that she was judged by the school to be the worst and most lame student in the entire grade.
She once sought out Chabashira Sae to argue with him, trying to figure out why she was assigned to Class D, believing that it must have been a mistake on the part of the school.
But Chabashira Sae told her that this was not the school's problem and the school's judgment would not be wrong.
Knowing that the class was set and could not be changed, from then on Horikita Suzune made up her mind to be promoted to Class A, no matter how hard she tried.
However, the fact is that her dream of being promoted to Class A was short-lived. Before she could even get a classroom number, she was back in Class C.
Horikita Suzune couldn't even imagine how others would tell her brother, who was the president of the student council, about this matter.
Now, as the first group and the most anticipated group of first-year girls' 100-meter sprint in the sports festival, she not only failed to win the group championship, but was also severely humiliated in public, which was a complete disgrace to Horikita Manabu.
There is no doubt that this scene will be seen clearly by my brother.
Not only the brother himself, but also his companions or enemies... were all seen by everyone.
If it is true as Chabashi Sae said that "the school's judgment is absolutely accurate", then Ibuki Mio's sports performance should be slightly inferior to his own.
After all, the school assessed her physical ability as B+ when she entered school, while Ibuki Mio was only rated B in the S system...and now she was being severely crushed by the other party and was once reduced to a stepping stone.
So that means, in the past six months since entering school, everyone has been constantly improving themselves, and only she is still standing still and complacent, right?
When she thought of this, Horikita Suzune couldn't help but want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"Horikita-san...Horikita-san..."
Huh?
The voice seemed to come from a very far distance, and the slight shaking of the body brought the girl's thoughts back to reality.
Her eyes gradually focused, and the scene in front of her became clearer and clearer, and the slightly worried face of Yukinoshita Haruno came into view.
"Horikita-san, are you okay?"
"Uh……"
Horikita Suzune shook her head as if she had a headache, and put one hand on both sides of her temples.
"I, I'm fine, don't worry about me."
"That's what you said, but you don't look like everything is fine. Are you feeling unwell?" Yukinoshita Haruno asked.
"No, no..."
Horikita Suzune looked back as if she had just woken up from a dream. At this moment, she was standing behind the finish line of the 100-meter race. The whistle in the direction of the starting line had already sounded, and the second round of female contestants were rushing towards this side, chasing each other.
At the same time, the referee who was in charge of timing also noticed the abnormality here, but it was not his responsibility to take care of the injured.
His job is to ensure that the game is run accurately and efficiently.
"What's going on over here? If you're not feeling well, go to the infirmary immediately. Don't stand in the way of the track, it's very dangerous!"
"Understood, we'll leave right away..."
Yukinoshita Haruno responded and was about to help Horikita Suzune to rest aside for a while, but before she could finish her words, she saw the latter walking towards the audience seats on her own.
She hurried after him.
"Horikita-san, are you really okay?"
"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong. I just didn't get enough rest last night."
Horikita Suzune didn't even look back, but walked forward with firm steps.
Ibuki from Class D, if we meet again in the next round, I will definitely beat you!
Time passed by unknowingly, and the 100-meter sprint for first-grade girls was gradually coming to an end.
As the whistle for the last round of the competition blew, Sakura Airi, who had just run as hard as she could in the previous round, finally returned to the audience seats of Class 1-C.
But it was obvious that her condition was quite bad at the moment. Not only was she out of breath, she could barely stand in the battle.
But the girl's face was filled with a smile full of anticipation.
"H-How about...did you see my match just now?"
"Of course, Sakura, you run very fast!" Karuizawa Kei praised.
"And we got fourth place in the group, which is amazing!" This is Kikyo Kushida.
"Thank you, thank you..."
Sakura Airi said this, but her eyes were still fixed on someone who hadn't spoken yet.
"See, well, you run pretty well."
As if in response to the girl's expectations, Wu Yi smiled, then reached out and gently rubbed the top of the former's head.
That’s right, after a month of special training, and using his special winning secrets, Sakura Airi, who was originally positioned as “just not at the bottom” in the class entry list, performed exceptionally well and won fourth place in the seventh round of the first-year women’s 100-meter race.
Regardless of the results, the extent of progress can be said to be quite good.
Hearing this, a happy and satisfied smile appeared on Sakura Airi's face.
“Hey…hey hey…huh…haah…”
"Uh!"
Seeing this familiar scene, Karuizawa Kei seemed to realize something and wanted to stop it but it was too late.
Sakura Airi's legs went limp as if she was being broadcast again, and then she fell straight into Wu Yi's arms in front of the other two girls.
Karuizawa Megumi: Ｏ(≧口≦)Ｏ
Kushida Platycodon：Σ(っ°Д °;)っ

Damn, Maoke has started to review before publishing again, just like last summer, it’s torture...
Volume 155: Chapter Can you let me see your handsome side?
Putting aside the minor incident that occurred in the audience seats of Class 1-C, the entire sports festival was generally proceeding in an orderly manner.
Soon, after the 100-meter races for the first-grade boys and girls were over, the second- and third-grade competitions began.
It can be seen that, except for some exceptions in the first grade, such as Sudo and Hirata who are good at sports, the overall strength of the second and third grades is stronger than that of the first grade to a certain extent.
The stadium was bustling with people, and the excited emotions were like the scorching sun setting in the sky.
In the audience seats of Class 1-C, Yukinoshita Haruno gathered everyone in the class around her, saying that she wanted to discuss the tactics for the next project.
According to the school's arrangement, a new round of competitions will begin after the 100-meter sprint for grades 2 and 3 is over.
——Hurdle race.
"Hey, let me tell you about my plans for the hurdle race."
In front of the door of Class C's temporary rest tent, Yukinoshita Haruno opened an instruction manual of about ten pages in public.
The above are all explanations of the rules for each event in the sports festival. Due to the tight time and the fact that verbal explanations on the spot may not be understood by everyone, the school simply gave up on explaining the rules on the spot and directly distributed such a booklet to each class for the students to read on their own.
"Anyway, let me read the rules of the hurdle race first. The boys' hurdles are 110 meters, and the hurdles are 106 centimeters high; the girls' hurdles are 100 meters, and the hurdles are 84 centimeters high... There are a total of ten hurdles. During the race, every time your body touches a hurdle, seconds will be added to your final score. If you knock it down, seconds will be added."
"We actually have to spend extra time..."
Some people's voices began to become a little weak.
In fact, during the previous month's preparatory training, the most torturous event for everyone in Class C was the hurdles.
Meeting the physical fitness standards is not a big deal, but as people grow older and their minds mature, they will have a great fear of suddenly having to cross something that is likely to trip them up while running at high speed.
So everyone can practice as much as possible in other events, except hurdles...that's something they'd avoid if they can.
"It's just a time penalty, which is already good enough. If it were a formal sports competition, the referee would have already counted it as a foul if you guys wanted to kick the hurdles every time you got to them."
Sudou, the only boy in the class who could hurdle, crossed his arms over his chest and added.
It is worth mentioning that Wu Yi also failed to learn how to hurdle, but he was able to jump over in all kinds of strange ways while running, and at a super fast speed, but the movements were rather weird, a bit like Black Tiger Ah Fu's crow riding an airplane.
"That's right, but it is precisely because of this situation that I decided--"
Yukinoshita Haruno paused for a moment, and then made a decision that surprised everyone at first.
