The first race ended, and after the athletes in the second group finished warming up, they took their places at the start line. Normally, athletes would look ahead at the track and think about how they were going to run, but those who had sneaked in were thinking about whom they would knock down later.
Tan Rou had already spotted two troublemakers. They had set their sights on a very tall girl, who wore a sporty outfit and had muscular calves, making it evident that she was quite athletically gifted.
The tall girl seemed oblivious that she had become a target; she had a smile on her face and was looking straight ahead, fully prepared to run.
Tan Rou didn't go over to warn her. If Tan Rou approached the girl now and said, "You're going to be in danger soon," not only would the girl not appreciate it, but she would also call Tan Rou crazy.
The starter reminded them, "Competitors, check your clothing and shoes to make sure they don't affect your running."
