“Oh my, he just fainted from too much blood loss. Who are you all cheering for? Ahhhh, it’s Wu Yi-san and Kouenji-san who are standing together. I’m dead!”
Puff, puff——
This is the sound of a certain nymphomaniac falling to the ground with nosebleed again.
The voices of cheering were almost one-sided, but there was nothing that could be done about it. Although Kouenji perfectly met the criteria of a prince charming in other aspects, his free-spirited and eccentric personality was not very likable.
In comparison, apart from the slightly regrettable "mydriasis", Wu Yi is not inferior to Kouenji in other aspects, and his personality seems to be quite good at the moment. Even if it is not a plus point, at least it is not a minus point.
As a result, the score gap widened immediately.
"Did you hear that? They're all cheering you on."
On the starting platform, Kouenji Rokusuke glanced at Wu Yi who was standing on the starting platform next to him, and said with a smile on his face.
"Aren't you prepared to respond to their expectations with all your strength?"
"I'm kidding. Going all out is not such a simple word..."
On the starting platform, Wu Yi slowly squatted down, clenched his fists and pressed against the platform under his feet, posing a posture that was completely different from Koenji's standard starting posture. It was more like the posture when Akaza and Rengoku Kyojuro met in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. However, his back was not so straight, but slightly curled up, and unparalleled strength was accumulated in his gradually tightened muscles.
This way of starting is just like using the body as a spring, and what Wu Yi is doing now is to compress this spring to the extreme.
"Then everyone, take your positions, get ready—!"
As if infected by the tense atmosphere between the two, the physical education teacher's voice also took on a hint of severity like a referee.
He bit the whistle and took a deep breath.
Live——!
The whistle sounded, and in an instant, the only two contestants on the starting platform kicked out at the same time.
Koenji Rokusuke leaped out from the starting block like a nimble swordfish, drew a perfect arc in the air, and then cut into the water in a way with the least resistance. His movements were as smooth as a cheetah hunting.
This is a superb move that even professional athletes would applaud when seeing it.
but……
镫！
As an unprecedented sound of metal vibration swept through the swimming pool, everyone felt that the floor beneath their feet seemed to vibrate slightly at a certain point in time, and the next moment Wu Yi on the starting platform was blasted out like a cannonball.
He and Kouenji jumped at the same time, but he was a full body length ahead when he entered the water.
This is a crucial advantage.
There is actually no limit to the take-off distance in swimming competitions, and because the resistance of air is much smaller than that of water, everyone jumps as far as they can and tries to gain an advantage at the start as much as possible.
Theoretically, it is not impossible if you can jump 25 meters in one breath, fall into the water directly to the end, and then swim back.
As long as you can jump.
Wow!
The sound of falling into the water was heard, and both parties entered the water at the same time and surfaced at the same time.
It can be seen that Kouenji really tried his best. After entering the water, he did not start paddling immediately like Wu Yi, but raised his hands in front of him, put his legs together, and slightly opened his heels to form an inward-facing shape. His whole body from head to toe seemed to have turned into a dragon and began to paddling up and down.
The butterfly kick is a technique, or a rule, in freestyle swimming competitions that can only be used in the first fifteen meters of each lap to maximize acceleration.
But again, this technique is extremely energy-consuming.
But even so, it was only barely slightly faster than Wu Yi's speed, who started paddling as soon as he fell into the water.
It’s not that Kouenji’s strength is not enough, but Wu Yi’s swimming style is really too outrageous.
Anyone who has learned freestyle swimming knows that when an ordinary person uses their arms to stroke, there will be a momentary pause when their arms touch the water surface, especially when they are just beginning to learn low-frequency strokes.
Even in world-class swimming competitions, professional athletes' speed will slow down to a certain extent when their arms touch the water.
This is a very normal phenomenon because water has resistance.
But Wu Yi seemed to completely ignore the huge resistance. He swung his arms rapidly and alternately, and his whole body turned into a ruthless paddling machine on the spot.
Everyone in Class D in the waiting area was stunned by this scene.
"He doesn't care about the water resistance at all..."
"I'm afraid this guy is not the reincarnation of Mr. Kui..."
The latter complaint was made by Sotomura Hideo, a famous 2D otaku in the class.
The reason is that in God of War 4, Kratos's movements when rowing with his son were too vigorous and powerful. Although the frequency of rowing was not high, the speed of the boat was as fast as riding a rocket. It felt as if Kratos was sticking the oars into the bottom of the river and pushing the boat forward.
And now Wu Yi draws this kind of visual effect with his bare hands.
The physical education teacher was also a little confused, so much so that he didn't notice that when the two people in the pool were about to touch and reach the other side, the timer in his hand had only gone off for just over seven seconds.
As expected, Wu Yi was the first to touch the tiles on the other side with a distance advantage of nearly two body lengths. He then immediately raised his legs and kicked back with great force. The huge waves raised by his shoulders as he rushed out went straight towards Kouenji, who was still breathing with his face turned sideways.
If it were anyone else, they would have been caught in this trap, but Koenji is still Koenji after all.
While he was swimming forward with all his might, he still had enough time to observe the surrounding situation. Seeing the waves rolling in, he decisively stopped breathing and started exhaling with his head down, successfully avoiding the fate of choking on water.
However, this directly led to the disruption of the breathing rhythm, and a few seconds of time were wasted in order to adjust it, but it was enough to determine the defeat.
Should we say that history always repeats itself in an amazing way? The same thing that Kouenji did during the warm-up phase just now is happening to him again.
All in all, Wu Yi won the battle.
￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥￥
Ah, today is also a desperate day for nucleic acid testing. It’s 40 degrees in Wuxi and I have to go out for nucleic acid testing. When will this kind of day end?
Volume 27: Chapter The Landlord's Foolish Son
Let’s put the cheers and applause aside for now, the final results of the first-grade Class D 50-meter freestyle competition were soon announced.
There is no doubt that Wu Yi won in the end.
Wu Yi——21 seconds.
Koenji Rokusuke—23 seconds 22.
Such a result is too exaggerated in many ways. You should know that so far the world record for freestyle in official competitions is still 2008 seconds set by Australian freestyle swimmer Eamon Sullivan in 21, which is less than two seconds away from the mistake version of Koenji Rokusuke.
But what is even more exaggerated is that Wu Yi's result is less than half a second away from the world record, and this is under the premise that he did not use the butterfly kick.
To sum it up in one simple sentence: the results are all talent, not any skills.
This is an example of great strength working to achieve miracles. I believe that with further training, one will be able to break through the theoretical limits of human beings once again.
But in the final analysis it depends on whether the person himself has the intention in this regard. If he doesn't want to, there is nothing that can be done.
"Okay, this concludes the swimming competition for this class. Wu Yi, who won first place in the boys' group, and Yukinoshita Haruno, who won first place in the girls' group, will each receive 5,000 individual points as a reward."
After recording the results of the last two people out of the thirty-nine students in Class D on the roster, excluding Karuizawa Kei who chose to audit the class due to illness, the physical education teacher put down his pen and announced loudly.
Then he picked up the roster again.
"Then the next ten students whose names I called, please step out to receive extra training. The girls' group includes Sakura Airi, Inogashira Shin..."
Every time the physical education teacher called a name, someone in the waiting area would step out with a bitter face.
The extra practice only involved swimming one more lap, which wasn't a big deal, but it was a bit embarrassing to do it in front of other classmates.
“Wu.”
"Ok?"
Wu Yi, who had just climbed ashore and was still letting the water drip off his body, suddenly heard someone calling his name behind him. He turned around and saw that it was Koenji.
Although he had lost a full 50,000 points in the bet, this guy did not seem to be angry at all. Instead, he seemed to be in a pretty good mood. His handsome face was filled with a brilliant smile that was totally different from that of a loser. He was putting his hands behind his head to style his sunny blond hair, and his muscular chest was noticeably heaving from the intense exercise he had just done.
"Congratulations~ This time you win. I will transfer the 50,000 points to you after I get them back."
"Okay, got it."
Wu Yi nodded without hesitation.
It is worth mentioning that personal points can actually be transferred between individuals. It is not necessary to go through the school. You only need to download the dedicated APP of Gaoyu High School on your mobile phone, which is the personal end of the S system.
The download address is posted in almost all public places in the school. You can download it immediately by scanning the QR code and logging in with your student ID as the account and the mobile phone verification code. However, you need to connect to the school wifi to use it.
In the APP, students can not only view their own personal points in real time, but also transfer points as mentioned above, and even view the details of income and expenditure, etc.
In short, it is very convenient.
"Then, see you later~"
After receiving Wu Yi's affirmative answer, Kouenji put his fingers together to form a sword and waved it at the former, then turned around and walked away in the direction of the locker room.
Doing this will not be considered leaving early. After all, the get out of class will end in less than five minutes, and going back to the locker room to wash up and change clothes so early is not something intolerable.
But 50,000 points means you lose it, and you were aiming to lose from the beginning...
"He is truly a stupid son of a landlord."
……
The view changes to the student dormitory.
Wu Yi, who had just finished swimming class, had just taken out the washed and dried swimming trunks from the washing machine and hung them on the clothesline on the balcony when his cell phone, which was plugged in and charging on the bedside table, rang.
He picked up the phone and saw that it was a system notification sent from the personal terminal of the S system, informing him that a sum of 50,000 points had arrived in his account.
And there is an unread message from a friend.
These two notifications arrived at almost the same time. It's obvious that they were sent by Kouenji.
Without any desire to click to view and reply, Wu Yi clicked on the "Clear all system notifications" option at the bottom of the system notification bar, which had an icon of a circular trash can.
Anyway, even if you don't read it, you can basically guess the content of the message sent by the other party. A stupid son of a landlord like him will definitely not stop at one failure. He will just strive to reach the top and make an appointment to fight again next time, etc.
Hey, people who are addicted to being weak are people like Kouenji.
Moreover, although it is unclear what the nature of the built-in chat system of the personal end of the S system is, instead of clicking on it and then seeing that the other party has read the message but not replied, it is better not to click on it at all and just let it show as unread.
save trouble.
However, just as Wu Yi put down his phone, a knock on the door sounded, accompanied by Yang Nai's voice which seemed a little weak because of the security door.
"Student Wu Yi, are you in the bedroom now?"
Huh? Yukinoshita? Why is she here?
Wu Yi was rarely at a loss for a moment, but after a brief hesitation he decided to open the door.
Outside the door, the D class girl group made a stunning appearance.
It was somewhat similar to the situation when reporting to school the day before yesterday. The first to be affected was still Yukinoshita Haruno, followed by Kushida Kikyo, Karuizawa Megumi and others.
It's just amazing that Karuizawa Megumi, who was apparently sick in the physical education class before, now seemed to have taken some magic medicine. Not to mention the headache, she was extremely energetic and was discussing something with her good friend next to her with great interest.
On the contrary, Kushida Kikyo, who had always appeared full of energy, tilted her head and looked to the side in a daze, looking a little listless.
Come to think of it, I didn’t hear her talking in class the whole day today. Is her period here?
While complaining in his heart, Wu Yi cast a questioning look at Yang Nai.
"This is?"
"Ah~ We have decided to go sing Karaoke to celebrate the huge change in everyone's attitude towards learning in the class today, and also to reward ourselves. Do you have time to join us?" Yang Nai explained.
"Karaoke? Now?"
Old man Wu Yi uses his cell phone on the subway plus a tactical retreat.
"I remember tomorrow isn't the weekend, right?"
"Yes."
Yukinoshita Haruno shrugged.
"That's why we go now. KTV prices are still cheap during this time. We can go early and come back early when it's almost time for dinner. How do you think?"
"also."
Wu Yi felt that this proposal was still reliable.
"Oh, what about the others?"
"Unfortunately, there is no one else."
"……yeah?"
"Because Hirata-san is attending the soccer club's activities and can't come, the other boys are embarrassed to come, so it's like you, Wu Yi-san, are the only boy on this trip."
