Classroom Of The Elite x OC!Akiyama

Chapter XVIII - Betrayal Or Cooperation?

POV Ayanokoji

Finally, this day has finally arrived. The dawn of the sports festival that is shaping up to be one long day. Donning their shirts, the entire student body entered as if rehearsed.

But even though it's called a march, most of the students were walking normally. They just showed enough seriousness not to get in the way of discipline.

"I'll show my good side to Kikyo-chan!"

Ike, who was walking behind me, excitedly expressed his expectations. For some reason I felt uncomfortable when he said 'Kikyo-chan', I don't understand why. I wonder how he intends to show off when he's one of those people who isn't especially good at sports. I could see that it was almost unmistakably a fruitless endeavor without any secret strategy behind it.

At the opening ceremony, Class A's 2nd year Kiriyama was the one who gave the opening statement. By the way, on the outskirts of the school, there weren't many, but I could see the figures of spectators scattered here and there. They are most likely adults working on campus. Regarding them, it does not seem that the school has set any restrictions. Occasionally, I saw smiles and waving hands.

Although we are somewhat at the advantage of having some veterans on our team, it would still be disadvantageous by quantity if I had to say. The red team has 24 students longer than us, after all, Shinichi had expelled 27 second year students.

Anyway...

On the other hand, the teachers were watching the students with just a smile on their faces while adults who looked like doctors could also be seen.

In addition, a cottage that could fit about 20 people was built and installed inside, such as a refrigerator, water dispenser and such. Like the uninhabited island, the preparations were perfect. By the way, the red team and the white team were given tents set up on opposite sides of the track, as if they were between them.

As such, it was made so that there would not be one possible, except during the contests.

"But even then they are very well prepared. Ultimately, even the cameras that were meant to help with the judgment calls were put in place"

For the 100 meter race that will be the first competition, a camera has been pointed at a point that appears to be the ultimate goal.

"This means that errors in judgment and ambiguous results will definitely be avoided"

It seems that even by a hair's breadth, they intend to decide victory and defeat as if it were a horse race. This is precisely why contests that are difficult to score as cheerleaders are not included in this sports festival.

"In the 100 meter race, which group were you in?"

"The Seventh Group"

I replied while looking at the simplistic program table (the paper on which the order and timing of contests are written).

"It'll be better if a formidable opponent doesn't show up. For the good of the class, I'll be rooting for you"

"I'll do my best not to lose"

After expressing little ambition, we first-year boys went to the contest site.

Contests such as the 100 meter race are held in order from the 1st year. Starting from the 1st year boys and ending with the 2rd year girls is the entirety of the event. Then, with the break sandwiched in between, it will change and start over with the freshman girls and end with the third grade boys. The contest was about to start using the impressions each class had submitted earlier as the basis for deciding pairs.
