The next day, during physical education class, on the playground, the physical education teacher held the flag high and glanced at the people on the field.
"The third group of boys, get ready and run!"
As the flag fell, Hikigaya rushed out unhurriedly. After all, it was a 3,000-meter practice, so there was no need to rush.
After a long time, he finished three thousand meters. Hikigaya put his hands on his knees and panted violently. He barely finished third in the five-person competition.
"Hikigaya,"
Shibata, who was traveling with him, wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked with some confusion,
"Are you slacking off?"
"Idiot," Hikigaya didn't think much, and breathed quickly,
"It's not that you worked too hard, how could an ordinary school be like this? I really don't slack off. Although I don't usually practice extra, I still pay attention to physical education class seriously."
After all, he is still adolescence, a time when the body is growing. Even if he didn't do anything at ordinary times, his physical fitness will improve. If the average level at the beginning of school was fifty-five points, he would be at least fifty-five points now. He must stay at the average level. However, people like Shibata are really outrageous.
On the four hundred meter runway, Hikigaya was almost exhausted after running about ten laps. Shibata ran fifty laps and nearly twenty kilometers, but his breathing was only slightly unsteady. I'm afraid it would be no problem if he ran a hundred laps. After all, he is an official member of the football club, known for endurance.
This is probably because Shibata has maintained high-intensity exercise since he was a child and never relaxed when he was in the club. It takes decades to accumulate strength. The key is, Shibata doesn't seem to be the strongest yet. According to him, there are several first-year students who are comparable to him, or even better than him. It's a bit outrageous.
These people are almost all elites in their respective fields.
In any ordinary school, he would be the king standing at the top of the school. It's almost impossible to catch up. Even at the average level, Hikigaya feels very tired. It's a shame these guys can persevere.
"Ha ha," Shibata shook his head helplessly and said with a smile:
"This school is indeed not ordinary, but what can you do if you are already enrolled? Moreover, this school is simply much better than other schools!"
"Hehe," Hikigaya laughed dryly. After resting for a while, I finally felt a lot better.
I think this school is good only for people like Shibata who have good written examinations and good physical fitness. Rubbish school!
Thinking about it, Hikigaya glanced at Ichinose in the girls group without leaving any trace. I just rejected Ichinose's confession yesterday, and I really don't know how to face it today.
The other party must be the same. Every time his eyes accidentally met, Ichinose would quickly avoid them. Would it be better for him to apologize in the past? Can Hikigaya feel. It seems that he has done nothing wrong. Doesn't he even have the right to refuse?
Anyway, how to deal with this kind of thing. At this moment, the two accidentally met their eyes again, and Hikigaya quickly avoided it, feeling his heart pounding. I don't know if it's because I just exercised or what happened.
Speaking of which, the frequency of eye contact today was so high that Hikigaya could hardly remember how many times it happened.
"Tsk," Hikigaya took a deep breath and ran a few more laps. I always feel a little depressed.
And on the other side, in the girls group,
"Honami-chan,"
someone held Ichinose's arm with some doubts.
"What's going on? Why do I always feel like you're a little absent-minded today?"
"Yes," Kobashi Yume also nodded, and said with some worry:
"Honami-chan is indeed a little strange today.
"Eh?" Ichinose was stunned for a moment, then forced out a bright smile:
"It's nothing like that. Okay, let's get ready to run quickly."
Yes, as a leader, she can't let the people around her worry. Her wavering will also affect everyone in Class B.
"That..." Amikura Mako's eyes were even more worried, and he said with some hesitation,
"Honami-chan, we just ran over, and next is the leapfrog."
Kobashi Yume even pulled Ichinose's arm. He actually didn't even remember what he had just done. It was obvious that Ichinose's heart was not focused on physical education class at all.
"?" Ichinose was stunned for a moment, then scratched her head apologetically, forced a smile and said,
"Sorry, I didn't sleep well last night."
"Really?" Kobashi Yume said with some distress,
"Then Honami-chan, you'd better go and rest for a while. I'll help you ask for leave from the teacher."
"No, no, no." Ichinose quickly shook her head, took their little hands and turned to leave.
"The next step is leapfrog, let's go there quickly."
The girls around her couldn't help but look at each other, and everyone's eyes were a little worried.
Something was obviously wrong with Ichinose today. It's like her soul has been sucked out. There is absolutely no energy like before.
Several girls turned to look at the boys, and naturally noticed something was wrong with Ichinose. Today, Ichinose's eyes would always glance at Hikigaya from time to time.
Thinking about it, Himeno Yuki couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Could it be that Ichinose did something to Hikigaya?
Honestly, Himeno Yuki didn't take it very seriously. But if this continues, it will affect this exam.
On the other side, after finishing the three-thousand-meter run, Kanzaki walked to Shibata with unsteady breath. "How is it going?" he asked.
"He just scolded me." Shibata scratched his head in embarrassment.
Thinking of the strange feeling just now, Hikigaya actually called him an idiot. This was the first time since he was born that he had been scolded like this.
"What are you saying?" Kanzaki was a little confused. He always felt like Shibata's brain occasionally breaks.
"No..."
Shibata glanced at Hikigaya who was still running, shook his head and said helplessly, "I feel like he's a little out of his element today, much more real than usual. Maybe he really thinks I'm an idiot, right?"
"You care about that?" Kanzaki glanced at him helplessly. Can you please stop worrying about whether you are an idiot or not?
He also felt that although Shibata had good grades, he occasionally showed a bit of an idiot side. While sleeping together in the forest, Shibata is like a child, following Sudou and the others around.
"No," Shibata shook his head indifferently and said, "It just feels a bit strange, and I don't really care. And if he is more real like this, it will feel much better."
He glanced at Hikigaya, who was still running, and sighed helplessly, "Maybe something happened with Ichinose, but something feels wrong." If the two start dating, it doesn't feel like much either.
With Ichinose's character, it would be impossible to hide such a thing. If he had done something bad, to be honest, neither Ichinose nor Hikigaya was that kind of person. "I can only find an opportunity to ask," Kanzaki couldn't help but sigh. Why does it have to be at this point in time? What if it affects the exam?
