Chapter 39 - between

"You two look exhausted…" Ryuuji looks at Mia.

"Yeah… no duh" Mia lightly chuckles as Ryuuji looks at Yosu who walks up to Mia.

"Hey Mia… I didn't know you could jump that high" Mia chuckles, turning to nervous laughter. He stretches his leg as large muscles bulge shocking them..

"I didn't know either… at least until just a bit ago during training" Ryuuji looks at Mia's large legs.

"That's useful" Mia smiles and looks at his hand.

"Yeah" Mia lets his pants back down and clenches his fist.

"Sorry for the wait everyone!... lets get into the next round… lets… roll the dice!" the t.v's turn into a digital dice and start violently spinning. The air heats up as tensions rise. The dice slows down and almost lands on a cavalry battle but then lands on something else. Mia smiles having seen a video on the sport recently and excited to try it out.

"The second event is!-... Bo-Taoshi!!" Mia looked around as some cheered and others booed. Mia sees Ryuuji from the corner of his eye and rushes over to him.

"Hey, Ryu… I've heard of Bo-Taoshi… but what exactly IS it?" Ryuuji crosses his arms and looks on as three poles are brought out.

"Your goal is to topple your opponents pole in under 2 minutes… but this will be a unique version with 3 teams instead of 2" the principal taps on the mic a few more times getting the students attention again.

"Welcome, to the sport of Bo-Taoshi… if you haven't heard of it, your goal is to topple the other classes pole's while the class defends them and attacks you… in this version we will be playing today, you are allowed to attack either one of your opposing classes or both… it's all about strategy… get into your teams and devise a strategy… good luck 1-A, 1-B, and 1-C" Mia hurries and rushes class 1-A to a group huddle.

"Okay, I feel like if we target 1-C, that will be our best bet" Koshina and Anumu look at Mia speaking at the same time.

"But, why don't we just attack both 1-C and 1-B?" Ryuuji sighs.

"If we attacked both 1-B and 1-C we would have limited numbers for offense to each class" Anumu looks at Koshina as Ryuuji sighs.

"Well Mia? Who do you think goes on offense and defense here?" Mia puts his hand to his chin as he sighs.

"Me, Sakise, Nokuna, Oshira, Maito, Itsumi, Toshi, Fuyuno, Yu, and Anumu… we will be on offense, be sure to attack from all directions and help each other out… Hoyamiya" Horiyamiya looks up at Mia.

"Are you talking about me?" Mia looks at Horiyamiya.

"Yeah… you're on top of the pole… guard it with your life" Horiyamiya took a step back.

"Why do I guard it with my life?" Maito sighs and steps forward.

"Oh dear sir, Does thou not have pride in himself or at least faith in his teammates to do their part?" Horiyamiya gulped.

"Y-yeah-" Maito looked at him as Ryuuji and Yosu watched from the side in shock.

"Then prove to your teammates, your classmates! That you have pride… that you can do your part!... that's what true teamwork is, as previously stated many times before… There is no 'I' in team… the rest of the class is going to defend the bottom of the pole, if you have an issue with it, take it up with me" there was silence. Mia taking a deep breath.

"Okay everyone in their places… follow direct orders and play the game with your life!... Let's do this Class 1-A on the count of 3" Mia puts his hand out as slowly everyone joins and Mia counts down.

"Three… two… one! CLASS 1-A!!" the class as a whole rushes over to the pole laying on the ground. They all work together to pull it up to a standing position and hold it there. Mia directs the offense group to their desired spot and takes a look at class 1-C struggling with their small number of students.

"And thus begins the 2nd event of the first Newly Upgraded sports festival… each of the 3 classes will be playing Bo-Taoshi!, each class has the option of attacking 1 singular class or both opposing classes… who's ready for some Bo-Taoshi!!" King let go of the Mic as Mr. Moss looks at him.

"You're actually a lot better at this than I expected you to be" King grits his teeth and turns to Mr. Moss.

"Are you saying you thought I was weak!?" Mia leaned forward and started to stretch at the front of the group. He stands up and stretches his arms.

"Class 1-A vs Class 1-B vs Class 1-C… BEGIN!"
