Chapter 645 Participating In The Sports Tournament
Rudy wanted to participate and win in any of the sports activities as soon as possible, so he had to choose the sports activity that was going to happen next.
"Knowing you, you are most likely participating in all the sports activitiesโฆ" Rudy muttered.
"That was my plan, but unfortunately, I am not Participating in one."
"Oh? Which one?" Rudy asked curiously.
"Which one do you think?"
Rudy checked the list and pointed his finger at one activity.
"Tug of war?"
"How did you figure it out?"
"Wellโฆ it's a team sport, and judging by what you said a while ago, this one makes sense."
'I don't think even I can participate in this one. Even if our team wins, I can't score 1st in team sports.'
"Alright, I need to go. I am participating in the 500-meter race."
"Wait, I will come too."
Rudy and Eric went to the starting point, but they got separated in the crowd.
"I need to write down my name in the list first," Rudy muttered.
He went to the stage where the teachers were commenting and writing down the names of the participating studies.
[Next, we have the 500-meter sprint race for boys. But there has been a mistake in the main poster where it says 500-meter race. However, this is 500 meters straight and 500 meters back. A total of 1000 meters race.
The participants would need to run 500 meters where the girls are waiting for them with a band in their hands. The boys would need to grab that band and run back to the starting point.
The first male student to grab the band would get two points, while the others would get one point. When the students reached the starting point, they would be ranked according to the positions they arrived at.
However, if the student who grabbed the band first and got two points reached first to the starting point as well, he would get three extra points in his total sports ranking. So get ready, students!
The race will start in five minutes. The students who changed their minds and want to participate can get their names added to the list. And the students who are having second thoughts and want to forfeit from the race can also get their names removed from the list!]
Rudy added his name to the list and winked at Rize, who was sitting in the lounge with other teachers.
[The race will start in three minutes. Participating students, please come to the starting point!]
After saying that, the anchorman started calling out the names of the participants.
Meanwhile, Alice was looking for Rudy, so they could spend time together while Janet was texting him to ask for his location. Rudy's phone was in his bag, which was with Rize.
When Alice and Janet heard Rudy's name being called as one of the participants in the race, they glanced at each other and handed their bags and belongings to their female friends.
Then, they rushed to the number 9 lane Rudy was given, seemingly wanting to replace with the girl who was standing there.
While Rudy participated in the race for Rize, Janet and Alice were racing for Rudy. The faster one from either would get the chance to welcome Rudy with the band.
Alice was closer to the number lane, so she was confident that she would win, but she celebrated too quickly and regretted it later when Janet beat her to it.
She tapped on the girl's shoulder and asked, "Do you mind if I stand in your stead?"
"No worries."
The girl handed the band to Janet and walked away.
Janet happily stood at the end of the number 9 lane and glanced at Alice, who was glaring at her from a safe distance.
"No hard feelings," Janet said while showing the band to Alice.
Alice sighed and stood by the tree to have a clear view at Rudy's lane.
'It doesn't matter, as I am still getting to spend more time with him.'
[Last minute left for batch A race!] The anchorman called out the names of the students who hadn't arrived at the starting point.

As there were so many students, it was impossible for all of them to sprint at the same time. The playground was indeed big, but not big enough to make space for everyone for the race.
Therefore, the school had randomly divided the students into batches, with one batch having 25 students. Rudy didn't want to race against Eric, so he was happy that he was in a different batch than him.
[The top three from each batch will enter the semifinals. And top five from the semifinals will enter the finals, where the student to score the first rank will be given an award and a trophy along with the other two rankers.
The school will also send a recommendation letter to the higher authorities and get a chance to participate in the district-level sports competition. But before that, let us get our winners.]
The students got into their position and prepared to shoot themselves forward.
'Janet changed places with the girl. I can see Alice glaring at her, but she earned that place, so she can't do anything. Enough about them, I have to focus on my race. I have to make myself look convincing to others.
I am the most unathletic student in the entire school, and everyone knows that. And if I score 1st, everyone would be surprised. However, I have to make it look like I struggled to score the top.
Of course, I am not going to use even a bit of my powers in this match. I will run as a human. It's not about cheating using my powers, but I want to earn Rize's answer with my own strength. fr๐ฆ๐๐๐๐๐ฏoัตeฦ.c๐m
Regardless, my body is pretty fit and in good shape. I have been running a lot, so my stamina has naturally increased. However, I have never tried running without using my powers. I know for sure that I won't get tired, but I don't know my running speed.'
[On your mark! Get set! Go!]
