I Confessed to the crosssdresser

Chapter 19

I'm only telling the truth, but why do I feel like I'm being scolded? As Leto finished his words and spun his arm passionately, several students who had been tested sat down.

It was only the basic fitness test, but the student's faces were soaked with sweat.

At that time, the students who were breathing roughly, either laid down in exhaustion or fanned themselves with their hands.

Yeah, come to think of it, these students were all in the same condition. Not only were they kids who studied to enter the Lexley Academy, but they also grew up in high noble families.

On the other hand, although I can't run, I have played various activities such as climbing trees and dodging waves since I was young.

"Pierre 35 and Arsene 37!"

After a while, our names were called. Leto and I headed to where the captain was. There were notebooks and pencils floating in the air to view and record our physical strength.

At first glance, very few students scored more than 10 sit-ups. I laid down with a sudden burst of confidence and I saw a senior holding my feet firmly.

She clamped my legs together firmly, warning me not to do any weird tricks.

As I was about to do my sit-ups, I heard a voice of admiration next to me. When I turned my head, I noticed Leto, who had already started doing sit-ups, raising his back at an incredible speed.

It must have been difficult to raise it at first, but he repeatedly raised his back and laid back to the ground with a nonchalant expression, not showing any signs of exhaustion.

Leto seemed to have encouraged me because unlike before, the speed increased. Before I knew it, the eyes of the students were on me, not Leto.

The senior who was holding me was also surprised and began to put more pressure on the hand that was holding my leg.

I managed more than ten. I was really lucky to reach 30 and started out with a good score.

Of course, I couldn't catch up with Leto, who easily passed 70. After completing all the sit-ups, a phenomenon occurred.

"Here, water."

The students who were too exhausted to head back to the dorm remained on the field. I was no exception.

I was breathing roughly when Leto handed me a bottle of water. I hurriedly swallowed a large amount of water while thinking that studying was easier than stamina training.

"Aren't you going back to the dorm?"

"W-Wait. Can we slow down and rest a bit? Okay?"

At my words, Leto sat down next to me, saying he had no choice. Before I knew it, the sky got dark.

As the lights on the field went out one by one, the stars appeared. The sweaty students went back to the dorm to wash up.

Unlike them, I was lying down on my back, gazing blankly at the stars while feeling the breeze.

I had no strength left in my body as it's been a while since I used this much stamina. I had no clue how much muscle soreness I would get tomorrow.

"You did pretty well."

Leto said curtly.

"I used to run all over the place when I was little. But you were a monster."

Leto smiled at my words.

"So, what do you think?

"What?"

"I'm good at sports."

...So, what did he want to hear?

"Yes, you were good."

If he wanted a compliment, here you go. A compliment.

I praised him with all my heart, but Leto's expression was dissatisfied, as though that wasn't what he wanted to hear.

"Anything else?"

"You were really good."

"So?"

"So what?"

"Let's go now."

Was he upset? I moved to head back to the dorm. Leto didn't look at me, seeming as if he was really upset about something and walked with a sulky expression.

But I really didn't know what he wanted to hear. I shook my head, determined to come up with the words Leto wanted to hear before we reached our dorm somehow.

Despite my efforts, nothing came to mind even as we reached our dorm.

I wondered if I was bound to fail at this rate, but Leto stopped walking.

"...What's wrong?"

Leto frowned a little.

"I left my coat behind."

"Ah."

Come to think of it, Leto's coat was nowhere to be seen.

"I think you left it at the field."

"Sigh, damn it."

Leto sighed in frustration and paused.

"Let's go back to the field quickly."

"You head back first. I'll go alone."

No, I'll..."

"It's fine."

After saying that, Leto rushed towards the field. Still, how can you just walk away like that? I stopped and just stared at Leto's back that quickly disappeared.

I was embarrassed to just enter the dorm, so I waited for Leto to return.
