Chapter 40: Sports Festival (3)

Previously on football, Russell proposed a strategy that would allow the 1-2 class to get out of the pressure and win a round of 16 match against the 1-5 class and advance to the last 8 in a football match sports festival. Afterwards Russell and his classmates immediately headed to the dodgeball field to watch the inter-class fight that was going on. However, halfway through Russell saw Ayaka and approached her, and they both went to the cafeteria.

.

"Hmm.. What do you want to buy?" Russell

"Don't bother.." Ayaka

"It's okay, I'll treat you. You won the women's sprint race." Russell

"Hmmm.." Ayaka

"Want to eat? Have you had breakfast yet?" Russell

"This morning, this morning.." Ayaka

"Hmm. or do you want to drink? Buy matcha latte?" Russell

"Matcha latte?!" Ayaka

"You're a direct matcha spirit. yaudah let's get to the vending machine.." Russell

"Ehh. but don't bother.." Ayaka

.

.

.

Arriving at the closest vending machine, which is in the corridor of the 1st floor. They immediately looked for matcha latte cans there.

"Hmm, matcha lattes.." Russell

"Ehhh.... There's no..?" Ayaka

"Wow, I don't think this machine has been re-stamped." Russell

"Hmmm.." Ayaka

"You wait here, I went to the vending machine on the 3rd floor first." Said Russell, running up the stairs.

"Eh-wait..." Ayaka

.

.

.

Arriving on the 2nd floor, Russell met with several staff members who were on guard.

"What do you want?" Staff Say

"That's it, I want to buy a drink at the vending machine.." Russell

"Hmm okay, then follow the show again." Staff Say

"Thank you, brother." Russell

.

.

.

In the end Russell reached the corridor of the 3rd floor, where the vending machine was located.

"Hmm, the last time I came here was during the service that day.The school was destroyed by Kirin and Kurai's attack..." Russell

Then, he puts in the money and presses the button to buy the matcha latte.

"Yosh, 2 matcha lattes. I wonder how it felt, I didn't have time to try." Russell

.

.

.

Soon, Russell returned to where Ayaka was waiting.

"Ayaka. It's her matcha latte.." Russell

"Ma-thank you.." Ayaka

"Let's take a look at the dodgeball game.." Russell

"Oh. ayoo.." Ayaka

.

.

.

Arriving Russel and Ayaka on the dodgeball field the fight that will soon begin is between the 2-2 class that faces the 2-4 class.

"Well, it's rame." Russell

"Yes.." Ayaka

"Here's the Cell!!" Mikael

"Oh that's Mikael, let's go there Ayaka." Russell

"Oh. ayoo.." Ayaka

.

Russell sat next to Mikael, and Ayaka next to Russell.

"What class is this Mik?" Russell

"Class 2-2 versus class 2-4." Mikael

"Ohh, our upperclassman.." Ayaka

"Yes, that's why I also support this 2-2 class." Mikael

"So our class won a dodgeball desi A right?" Russell

"Yes, I'm so sorry." Ayaka

"Yes, hopefully the class 2-2 can qualify also to the quarter-finals (the top 8) later." Russell

Soon after, when both classes were ready, the game began.

Classes 2-2 who get the first ball immediately play aggressively by throwing a fast attack towards the enemy, but can still be avoided by the players of class 2-4.

"Wow, is there nothing to do? Throwing is strong." Russell

"Hmm, class 2-4 is good too. They need to watch out." Mikael

"They're good at avoiding him." Ayaka

"Yes.." Russell

The match continued quite fiercely, with 2 minutes left. But the remaining players from the 2-2 class numbered 3 people, and from the 2-4 class numbered 4 people. Now the unfortunate situation is being experienced class 2-2.

"Duh. time remaining 2 minutes more. Class 2-2 also outnumbered players.how about." Mikael

"It's a serious situation, they should be able to take advantage of the opportunity to attack." Russell

"May class 2-2 win.." Ayaka

.

But unexpectedly, class 2-2 was like doing his secret technique, within 1 minute they managed to reverse the situation and eliminate 3 opposing players. Now the rest of the class 2-4 players are left with 1 person.

"Cool!! Can turn around as quickly as it's.." Russell

"Great for them.." Ayaka

.

Shortly after that the last player of class 2-4 was eliminated and class 2-2 won the game with a time of 14 minutes 42 seconds. Yes, only 18 seconds left before the match really ended, and also at the same time became the longest match so far.

.

After the class 2-2 dodgeball game against class 2-4 was over, Russell felt kebellet and he wanted to go to the toilet.

"It's a really good match.." Mikael

"Yes.." Ayaka

"By the way, I'm going to the toilet first.." Russell

"Oh okay." Ayaka

"Don't be long, ntar hunt start the next game." Mikael

"Yes yes." Russell

.

.

.

On the way to the toilet, Russell met someone who looked confused.

"Ehh.. Why are you?" Russell

"A-uh, this. I'm looking for stuff." Prattling

"Hmm.. What is it?" Russell

"I'm looking for my armband again, which is important for the relay later.." Prattling

"Oh..What class are you in?" Russell

"My name is Sumire, from grades 1-4.." Sumire

"Oh, if that's what I'm trying to help you find.." Russell

"Is it really okay?" Sumire

"Yes, it's okay." Russell

"Ma-thank you, yeah.." Sumire

"Before you start looking, where did you go?" Russell

"Eh. earlier I ran out of the toilet anyway. I kept walking here and realized that my armband was missing." Sumire

"Hmm means we have to walk down the street around to the toilet.." Russell

"Oh-okay.." Sumire

.

.

.

Russell and Sumire slowly walked down the road to the toilet to look for Sumire's missing armband. Shortly thereafter Russell managed to spot a cloth that had fallen between the bushes.

"ah! Here he meets. Class 1-4." Russell

"Wahh... Thank goodness to meet!! Thanks a lot, yeah.." Sumire

"Yes, if so I go to the toilet first.." Russell

"Oh i-yes.." Sumire

.

.

.

"The name is Russell.." Sumire

"Sumire. daritadi I nyariin you, it turns out here, let's go to the field." Friend Sumire's Speech

"Ah sorry sorry, i-iya come on.." Sumire

.

.

.

Russell went to the toilet, and after that he went back to the dodgeball game, but when he returned it turned out that the 2-6 class match against the 3-1 class had finished, and won by class 3-1 with a time of 9 minutes 21 seconds.

"Hi Mik, Ayaka." Russell

"For so long you're a cell, what's up?" Mikael

"So there's something, so long ago." Russell

"Hmmm.." Mikael

"Now what's the class game?" Russell

"In the near future the 3-2 class match against the 3-4 class." Mikael

"Oh. okay." Russell

.

.

.

The match was quite fierce and won by the class of 3-4 with a time of 12 minutes 58 seconds.

The next game is a class of 3-5 against a class of 3-6 won by a class of 3-5 with a time of 11 minutes 12 seconds.
