Practical teaching: Starting from the soul traveling through Dragon Garden

Chapter 81 Relay Race

Sudo returned to the class with sincerity.

"I'm sorry, everyone!"

With a standard 90-degree bow, Hirata was the first to forgive Sudo. After seeing Sudo's attitude, the other students stopped saying any harsh words.

"The next one is the relay race."

Horikita asked Ayanokouji to get ready.

This relay race was a mixed race among all grades. Sudo was about to show off himself when Horikita held his shoulder and said, "Sudo, you are the main force of the riding station. The relay race will be handed over to Ayanokouji."

After hearing what Horikita said, Sudou had no choice but to follow her instructions. If it were in the past, Sudou would undoubtedly have refuted her.

"Win it!"

Horikita said to Ayanokouji.

"That's unlikely. After all, it's a relay race for four people. There are also masters from other grades. It seems that the president will also participate. Do you think I can win the president's title?"

Ayanokouji replied calmly.

"It's okay, just do your best. By the way, Horikita and the president have the same last name, so you two are relatives, right?" Sudo put his arm around Ayanokouji's shoulders, then stepped on the landmine accurately.

"He's my brother."

Suzune didn't think this was a fact that could be concealed, so she admitted it generously, then stared at Ayanokouji and said, "Since it's a four-person relay, even if he's my brother, he may not be able to win. I want you to do your best to win this game!"

This was the first time he saw Horikita with such a tough attitude. Ayanokouji didn't know what she had been through, but he could still meet Horikita's small request. He wanted to let Horikita see his own strength so that he wouldn't be easily abandoned by Horikita. Moreover, even if he defeated the president in this game, he could explain it as luck. At most, he would leave people with the impression that he ran very fast, which would not have much impact on Ayanokouji's life.

This match attracted quite a lot of attention. The third-year student Horikita Manabu, the second-year student Minami Miyabi, and the first-year students Ryuen and Ayanokouji were all the last batting.

Was this God's will or was it secretly destined? Ryuuen narrowed his eyes when he saw the list of participants.

After doing the warm-up exercises, Ryuen came to the designated location. Ayanokouji was standing not far to Ryuen's right, to Ryuen's left was Nanami Yunyun, and to Ryuen's left was Horikita Manabu.

"Is this your handiwork?"

The whistle for the game has already sounded, but Ryuuen is not nervous at all. He still wants to chat with Ayanokouji.

"No."

Ayanokouji was very frank at this time.

"It's so boring."

Ayanokouji's attitude and personality are always very boring.

Ayanokouji was also full of doubts about Ryuuen. This person seemed to know him very well and always harassed him intentionally or unintentionally. Ayanokouji thought he had never provoked Ryuuen.

Although he had many questions, Ayanokouji still had no desire to ask Ryuen. On the one hand, he did not think he could get real information from Ryuen, and on the other hand, he simply did not like chatting with Ryuen. Everyone subconsciously dislikes people who are similar to themselves.

This unpleasant feeling grew in Ayanokouji's heart unconsciously.

On the other side, Nanyun was also trying to provoke Horikita Manabu, but he failed. Horikita Manabu still looked serious, as if he didn't take Nanyun seriously.

Nanyun got the baton first, but he didn't start running. Instead, he stood there and waited. It was not until Horikita Manabu got the baton that the fighting spirit in Nanyun's eyes finally showed!
The two started running at the same time, and within two seconds after they started running, Ryuen and Ayanokouji took the baton one after another. Ryuen would not stand there waiting for Ayanokouji like that fool Nanyun, because every second was crucial in the arena. And Ryuen's goal was never just Ayanokouji, he wanted to win against everyone in this school!

Nanyun is still chasing after Horikita Manabu. Just like what Ryuuen said to Ibuki before, talent is the insurmountable obstacle. If Nanyun had not waited for Horikita Manabu, the outcome would be unknown. But once they stand at the same starting point, the innate advantage will always allow him to be one step ahead of others.

Nanyun is too arrogant. He thinks he is a genius. In fact, he can be said to be a genius, but geniuses are divided into different levels. Horikita Manabu is obviously stronger than him.

It was a pity for Nanyun that he couldn't catch up with Horikita Manabu. After all, it was just a small game. Winning would be the best, but losing would not be shameful. But what made Nanyun despair was that the person he was chasing was not just Horikita Manabu!
Long Yuan, the rising star, has caught up!

What's even more desperate is that Ayanokouji has also caught up!
In a flash, the backs of three people appeared in front of Nanyun's eyes, and the backs were getting farther and farther away!

This is a fair competition, there are no tricks, it is all about personal physical fitness.

Nanyun couldn't accept that he would lose to three people, and Horikita Manabu was also surprised that he was overtaken by two younger students in the end. Although it was only a subtle half second, if the starting time was counted, the gap would be more than that.

Even though he lost, Horikita Manabu didn't feel disappointed. He pushed up his glasses and said, "Young people are to be feared."

Ryuen won, leading Ayanokouji by 0.21 seconds. But Ryuen also lost, and considering the starting time, Ayanokouji was undoubtedly faster, and even Ryuen could not cross that gap.

But the medal was still hanging around Long Yuan's neck.

It's numerous fun to fight the destiny!
Fighting with the earth is endless fun!
It's a lot of fun fighting people!
As long as the final winner is Long Yuan himself, the process is not that important!
Seeing Ayanokouji's outstanding performance, many people in Class D expressed regret, after all, they were so close to winning.

There were also many girls around Long Yuan who brought him water.

"Thank you for your hard work. This is the first time I see you compete so seriously."

Hiyori handed over her newly bought white handkerchief to Ryuen to wipe his sweat.

“In fact, I was very serious in my previous competitions.”

Ryuen took the handkerchief without hesitation. The relay race was not a long-distance race, so Ryuen did not sweat much.

Afraid that Ryuen would snatch her handkerchief again, Hiyori snatched the handkerchief back after Ryuen finished wiping his sweat.

"Really? Huh?"

Hiyori's eyes clearly showed that she didn't believe Ryuuen's nonsense.

On the other side, Akane Tachibana also handed water and a towel to Horikita Manabu. This little secretary was really dedicated and conscientious.

Although they are all in the same student union, Akane Tachibana does not care about Nan Yun because there are too many girls who care about Nan Yun.

A bunch of girls chattered around him to comfort him. The water and towels placed in front of him were enough to open a store. Although Nan Yun's face was terribly gloomy, he still put on a fake smile to deal with the girls around him.

Ryuen did not participate in the next horse riding competition. He did not want others to ride on his head, nor did he want to be carried on the shoulders of others.

Ayanokouji did participate in the horse riding competition. I guess because it was a relay race, it would attract a lot of girls to watch.

And while Ayanokouji was participating in the competition, Suzune found Kikyo.

"Let's talk alone."

When the class's attention was focused on the horse riding competition, Kikyo was pulled to a hidden corner by Horikita.
