"Senpaku, I am Sakamoto. What brings you here?"

The speaker was none other than Morishita Ai from Class A.

She had also arrived at the pond at some point.

His eyes shone as he stared at the water.

"He's mimicking a shark! The way top predators swim! Their bodies are completely submerged in water to reduce drag, and they break the water only with their dorsal fin!"

After her explanation,

Everyone looked more closely,

The ripples that broke the water really did look very much like a shark's dorsal fin!

And this "dorsal fin"

They have quietly caught up with, and even slightly taken the lead over, Horikita Manabu, who are sprinting at full speed!

Like a real shark, it silently approaches its prey.

However, the race still has a return journey.

Sakamoto hit the wall first;

But he did not turn back immediately.

The dorsal fin disappeared quietly.

He sank back underwater and remained motionless.

Horikita Manabu followed closely behind, touched the wall, made a clean turn, and pushed off the wall with both legs, starting his all-out return journey!

He had already realized Sakamoto's strangeness and power, and unleashed his full speed without reservation.

But Sakamoto remained silent.

"What is he doing?"

"Is it out of breath?"

Concerned discussions arose again.

Just as Horikita Manabu had swum two-thirds of the way back—

A sudden change occurred!

The waters where Sakamoto is located are deep.

Suddenly, a deep and strange buzzing sound came!

Then,

The water in that area seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand.

It began to spin violently, forming a clear, spiral-shaped vortex.

"Secret Technique—"

Sakamoto's voice could be clearly heard through the water.

"GA TSU GA!"

next moment,

The spiral-shaped vortex suddenly accelerated.

It's not going around in circles.

Instead, it's like an underwater drill bit.

It also resembles a torpedo launch.

Enveloped in astonishing speed and power,

Sprint straight ahead along the lane.

Wherever it passed, the water was violently swirled.

It formed a white, turbulent trail!

Sakamoto was nowhere to be seen.

All that could be seen was that spiraling, destructive current of water.

This is not swimming at all!

This is practically... an underwater propulsion device!

"boom!!"

There was a muffled sound,

The spiral water flow precisely impacts the end pool wall.

Splashes of water!

And in the splashing water,

A figure, taking advantage of the terrifying impact,

Like a dolphin breaking through the water,

He gracefully completed several elegant and highly difficult twists in the air.

Finally, it landed lightly and steadily on the ground by the pool.

Water droplets slid off his body.

It reflects a crystalline light under the sunlight.

He straightened up.

He elegantly pushed up his swimming goggles on the bridge of his nose with his middle finger.

next moment,

Horikita's academic talent is beyond the pale.

He lifted his head out of the water and took off his swimming goggles.

He looked at Sakamoto, who was already standing at the finish line, almost completely dry.

A look of surprise flashed across his cold face, but it quickly turned into a relieved smile.

He lost.

The loss was completely predictable, and I didn't even fully understand how the opponent won.

After a brief silence,

Thunderous applause and cheers erupted from the audience!

"That's...that's amazing!"

"Is that something a human could do?!"

"Sakamoto-kun! Invincible!"

Sakayanagi Arisu covered her mouth slightly with her small hand, her eyes filled with disbelief and shock.

Due to health reasons

She has never taken a swimming lesson.

She knew Sakamoto was athletic, but…

This completely exceeded her understanding of the sport of "swimming".

This is simply an inhuman realm.

On the other side of the crowd,

Sakura Airi quickly pressed the shutter.

It perfectly captures the moment when Sakamoto bursts out of the water and spins in the air.

"So cool! Sakura! A photo! You have to send me a copy of the photo!"

Haruki Yamauchi stood by, excitedly gesturing wildly.

On the watchtower a little further away,

Long Yuanxiang smacked his lips.

Frowning:

"Tsk... his athletic ability is so abnormal... is this guy even human...?"

Horikita Suzune watched her brother emerge from the water.

There wasn't much disappointment on his face.

She had a feeling of "I knew it" inside her.

I even feel...

Isn't Sakamoto bullying her brother a bit too much?

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka silently watched Sakamoto.

Poker face,

But deep within his eyes, he seemed to be engaged in complex calculations and deductions.

Analyzing the biomechanical possibilities of that set of movements…

Horikita Manabu went ashore.

He wiped himself with a towel and came to Sakamoto.

His expression had returned to calm:

"Amazing skill, Sakamoto. I accept my defeat wholeheartedly."

He didn't even see how the other person finally finished it.

Sakamoto bowed slightly:

"President Horikita, you flatter me. Your skills are superb; I was merely using a trick."

Horikita Manabu shook his head.

He knew that this could not be summed up by the word "shortcut".

He looked at Sakamoto,

Possessing such athletic ability and intelligence…

Horikita Manabu is looking forward to Sakamoto's performance in the upcoming special exam on the deserted island.

Having met the chairman's expectations,

Sakamoto no longer cared about the gazes around him that were filled with admiration, shock, or curiosity.

He turned around.

She leaped back into the pool with an elegant gesture.

A few splashes of water,

He quickly integrated into the group of ordinary students.

Enjoying the coolness and leisure of the summer pool.

PS: This chapter is 3400 words, which is quite a lot, and it's getting late today, so I'll just update this chapter for now. Tomorrow I'll move on to the deserted island!

First Grade Summer Vacation: Chapter 095: Sakamoto on the Cruise Ship

The azure sea stretched as far as the eye could see.

Sunlight shone on the shimmering water.

A giant luxury cruise ship named "Speranza"

Just like a moving white castle, it sails smoothly on this azure sky.

On the deck, by the pool, in the entertainment room,
