S3C9: Darwinism loves sports
Ayanokouji's POV
YOU ARE WEAK.
YOU ARE PATHETIC.
Survival of the fittest, is a concept first introduced by Charles Darwin upon observation. This was used in hyperbole by Hitler and Nazis to wipe out the 'weak'. Weak, such a subjective term in case of humans. Animals have been objectively classified as strong or weak. We have been too, haven't we? If I had a frail body, I would be weak. If someone couldn't speak, they would be classified as weak. But, here is where things get interesting. Usually in cases related to experiments, a fixed objective is used. In case of humans, they have a multitudes of objectives and what brings in obscurity in the sense of 'strong' and 'weak' is simply our brain.
Goals, brings uncertainty. It's activity, can enhance or decrease a person's strength and I am leaning towards physical strength in this context. Let's take Sudo for example, if he never had a reason to work towards his goal, he would never have had such physique. Even now, if he loses his will, he can very well lose his strength to keep going. On the flip side, there was someone like Yukimura, completely filled up to the brim with smarts but his goal wasn't being the strongest or the fastest, it was simply to be the smartest.
Let's presume, that today everyone's goal was shifted to a single thing, sports. Well, that's the situation we are in presently. The sports festival announced on the first day of school after summer vacations, encased the atmosphere in an equal sense of enjoyment and dread among the athletic students and others respectively. For someone like me, goals never mattered, I was simply an exception.
(A/N: Read the Rules of Sports Fest from the Vol 5)
Given a choice, I wouldn't have taken part but it was mandatory for every student to take part in this tiresome event, at least in a few categories. The rules were clear-cut yet could have possible loopholes. We reached the gymnasium where Suzune's eyes scanned the area possibly for her brother who was expected to be the leader of the Red team.
"Hello Suzune, what are you doing?" I decided to interfere in her quest, which she thankfully received without jabbing at me.
"I thought Nii-san would be here. Guess I was wrong, sigh." Her eyes drooped down to the ground as she tried taking her to leave. I didn't think she would give up that easily but I wished to give her a parting gift.
"You could try the Student Council." I spoke causing her to freeze up as I walked up to her, "Being vulnerable was never synonymous with being weak." I sighed as I walked away from her trembling visage. It seems her fears truly have captured her, all I can do is simply show the way. She will have to walk out of this by herself.
