Chapter 82: Shimizu-boy, Want to Make a Bet?

Aside from Karuizawa Kei, quite a few observers had not changed into swimsuits either, so seeing students still in their uniforms was not especially rare. That made Sakura Airi feel much more at ease, because she was also wearing her school uniform.

Standing on the second floor of the indoor pool, Airi watched Yuto without blinking. Although she was more familiar with him than anyone else, she had never seen him wearing swim trunks and a swimming jacket before.

Seeing Yuto dressed for swimming made him look fresh and different, so Airi quietly kept her eyes on him.

"All right-everyone, gather here!"

The muscular middle-aged teacher called the Class D students together. After counting them, he looked a little troubled and said, "Your class has sixteen observers. That's quite a lot."

Although the teacher seemed dissatisfied with the number of observers, he did not say much about it. "Everyone, I'll get straight to the point. Follow me for warm-ups first, and after that, I'll have you swim so I can see your skill level."

"Um... Sensei, I'm not very good at swimming," Sotomura Hideo said weakly, raising his hand. His main reason for coming was to see the girls in swimsuits, and he could not actually swim.

"Don't worry. Since you changed into swimwear, I'll make sure you learn how to swim!" the muscular teacher declared confidently.

"You don't have to force me to learn. I don't really like swimming anyway!" Sotomura hurriedly said.

If the person teaching him were a beautiful female teacher, he would gladly learn. But this teacher was a muscular uncle.

"That won't do. You must learn how to swim. After all, this sport will definitely be useful later. Definitely!"

Yuto glanced at the muscular teacher.

He was emphasizing the importance of swimming. Was it because a future exam would be related to swimming?

Judging from that hint and emphasis, this muscular teacher was probably the responsible type. Unfortunately, aside from Yuto, the other students likely did not hear anything deeper in his words.

Under the muscular teacher's instructions, Yuto and the others began warming up. After that, the teacher had everyone enter the pool and swim roughly fifty meters.

Those who could not swim did not need to worry. The indoor pool was shallow, only one and a half meters deep.

Since Yuto's jacket was designed for swimming, he did not take it off and stepped directly into the pool. The water temperature had clearly been adjusted properly, so it felt just right and did not make the students uncomfortable.

Yuto casually finished the fifty-meter swim and climbed back onto the poolside. After everyone else finished, the muscular teacher had roughly grasped their levels and spoke loudly.

"Very good. Next, we'll hold a competition. Boys and girls will each race fifty meters freestyle. The student who gets first place will receive a special reward of five thousand points!"

"Five thousand points!"

"Seriously, Sensei?"

"Of course it's true. On the other hand, the slowest swimmer has to take supplementary lessons, so prepare yourselves!"

The students confident in swimming cheered, while those without confidence cried out miserably. Yuto raised his eyebrows slightly, a look of surprise appearing on his face.
