Chapter 30 - [Sports Festival]

Horikita Suzune POV

At last, the day had come. The curtains were about to rise on the
sports festival, and it looked to be a long day.

The entire student body, all
wearing their jerseys, marched together as one.

Well, we called it a march,
but most people just strolled along, taking the movement just seriously
enough not to disrupt the order.

Honestly....

"All right, time to really show-off what I can do!" I could hear Ike-kun shout just a little behind me

Looks like what Ayanokōji-kun said was right.... He'll be awfully motivated this time.

Observing Ike-kun and Yamauchi-kun right now. It really looks like the two became more and more separated from each other after Ayanokōji-kun and I threatened them for the second time..

...Mostly Ayanokōji-kun, but I'd like to think that I was useful in that scenario

But anyway

Telling them that this Sports Festival will just be the catalyst for one of their demise though, seems to motivate them to do better

As I feared, everything's going exactly as Ayanokōji-kun planned

My train of thoughts got interrupted by a booming voice. Fujimaki-senpai, from the third-year Class A, gave a speech during the opening ceremony.

Although there weren’t many, a number of spectators watched from the school grounds’ outskirts. They were probably adults who worked on campus. The school didn’t seem to have put any strict restrictions in place regarding who could attend the festival.

hint of smiles.

Medical personnel could also be seen setting up some kind of cottage.

The cottages seemed to be rather spacious. It could fit around twenty people and was equipped with an air
conditioner and water cooler.

The school’s preparations were as meticulous as they had been on the deserted island. They provided tents for the Red Team and White Team; these faced each other on opposite sides of the track.

It seems like the school didn’t want the teams mingling with each other, except during competitions.

The first event of the festival was the 100-meter dash, and I saw that a
camera had been installed and pointed toward the finish line.

The line between victory and defeat could come down to a hair’s breadth in competitions like these.

"Haaaahhh..." A brief yawn took my attention from the field and switched to the familiar brown haired boy.

"Stop yawning and take this seriously"  I scolded, making my way to him from the far end of the tent.

"'knew you would call that out" he sighed "You're too nervous Horikita. Being nervous isn't bad in these occasions don't get me wrong. But too much can be such a pain. Loose up"

"First of all, I'm not nervous" I tried to deny "Second, you can't blame me after you arrived with a bandaged hand" though my two points contradict, I left it aside as I switched my gaze to his Right hand

"Thanks for the worry. But I'm fine" Ayanokōji-kun said casually. Not delving deeper into the matter.

After the meeting between Ichinose-san, Kushida-san, Ayanokōji-kun and me yesterday, Ending with a mysterious hint —
