The homeroom teacher didn't stop everyone's discussion, and a few minutes later he asked, "The sports committee has the list of events for the sports festival. Anyone who wants to participate in an event can sign up. It's not about the results, but the participation that matters."
"What's there to participate in? Every time at the sports festival, our class is the last one. I'm not going to embarrass myself."
A boy sitting in the front row said, wearing glasses and with a rather delicate appearance, but clearly the type who was not good at sports and had a strong sense of pride.
No sooner had he spoken than other students echoed his sentiments, refusing to participate and even suggesting that instead of joining the sports festival, it would be more fun for everyone to go for a KTV party.
