Chapter 42: Sports Festival (5)

Previously, Class 1-2 managed to qualify for the semifinals after defeating class 2-6 in football matches and also dodgeball. However, the festival is not over. After winning the match, Ayaka who happened to follow the relay race immediately prepared because the race was about to start. Arriving on the field for the relay race, all the teams of each class have prepared at their respective lines.

The rule in this relay race is that each class gives its representatives as many as 4 people. And they will run around the field carrying a stick, so that all players finish crossing the finish line.

Soon the race will begin, the first runners of each class have prepared the challenge. Ayaka who became the last runner seemed nervous waiting on the sidelines.

*PRITTTTS

The whistle was rung by the staff, the entire first runner from each class immediately ran while carrying a stick. Followed by a second runner who stood in each class.

.

"Well, they're all running.all classes are competing." Speech the class leader

"Rubber, it's a little hard." Mikael

"But this is still the first runner, as long as there is no blunder should be their position will be stable like this, the distance between one class and another class is not too far." Russell

"Yes, anyway." Mikael

.

It didn't take too long, the first runner of all classes had successfully completed the first round, they handed the baton to the second runner, who then continued running to the second round.

.

"Woah, it's beginning to change. After they move the baton." Speech the class leader

"Yes, but our class is also quite stable anyway, there are ranked 5th out of 18 classes." Russell

"Huhh, hopefully we can win." Mikael

"Yaa. so far our class is quite stable anyway, especially the change of runner earlier." Russell

"We're waiting for the third runner.." Speech the Class Chair

"Well.." Russell

.

The second round has been completed, the second runner from class 3-2 hands the first stick to the third runner of his class. Followed by another class behind it. Likewise with classes 1-2, in the second round they are in the 5th position of the 18 classes. But the relay race is still not over. Here, everything will determine.

.

"Wow?! They're starting to raise the running tempo.." Speech the class leader

"They exchanged positions, our class also began to overtake other classes. It's so bad!" Mikael

"Well, it's already in the third round as well, there's one last round left. I hope our class can catch up, now our class is in 8th place out of 18." Russell

"Goddle.." Mikael

.

Ayaka, who is already preparing as the fourth runner in front of the starting line, is waiting for the third runner to finish the round and hand the baton.

'What if I fail again?' Sayaka in her heart. He was daydreaming because he thought too much about the results.

"HAVE AYAKA!!!" Russell said from the audience.

"Eh?" Say Ayaka, while looking towards the audience seats.

"Weh?! Just be surprised." Mikael

"Haha, yes. Ayaka spirit!!" Speech the class leader

.

The third round ended, classes 2-4 leading this time, followed by the other classes. Luckily the third runners of class 1-2 managed to press their position from position 8 to position 4. Ayaka quickly picked up the baton and started running to finish the fourth round.

.

The fourth round began, after getting the baton, Ayaka immediately ran quickly. Now the position of class 1-2 is still in position to 4 of the 18 classes.

.

'Ah? I've been running really fast, but why don't they get chased.' Say Ayaka in the heart.

Instantly his steps stopped in the middle of the field. The spectators who were sitting immediately rumbled.

.

"Eh? Why her?" Said one of the spectators

"If you are sick, you should not force yourself." Said another spectator

"It's hard on the class itself." Said another spectator

"Good thing it's not our class." Said another spectator

.

"What happened?! Why did he stop in the middle of the field?" Speech the class leader

"Loh Ayaka why?! Is she sick? Oi Cell-" Mikael said

Meanwhile, Russell got out of his chair and went to the sidelines.

"Byeah!!? Cell... said still injured?! Wait for me-" said Mikael

"Ehh-??" Meanwhile the class leader was still sitting thinking about what was going on.

.

.

.

"Yep!!" Russell

'Eh?' Say Ayaka in the heart.

"Are you okay?!" Russell

"Aah?!" Ayaka

.

After Russel breaks Ayaka's daydream, he soon realizes he is in a race. Then Ayaka ran with all her strength at the end of the round.

When Ayaka stopped in the middle of the round, the position of class 1-2 followed by 5 classes behind him, and now is in the 9th position of 18 classes.

.

"Cell, you don't overdo it yourself, you say you're hurt." Mikael

"Yes, just calm down." Russell

"Hmm so how's dong? Our class is again in danger, now in 9th position!!" Mikael

"My father said Mik. Just calm down." Russell

"Huh...?" Said Mikael who did not understand what Russell said.

.

Ayaka who ran with all her might slowly managed to catch up with the runner who was in front of her. One by one the other classes were successfully passed. Now the distance to the finish is left about 120 meters, and Ayaka's position to 3 of the 18 classes.

"W-what?! What a cry for her!!" Mikael

"Come Ayaka!!" Said the class leader as he approached Russell and Mikael to the sidelines.

.

'It's not over yet..' Say Ayaka in the heart.

Ayaka sped up again to race the runner in front of her. The audience suddenly returned.

.

"What the fuck?!" Said one of the spectators

"Fast fast!!" Said another spectator

.

Ayaka managed to race again, now he is in the 2nd position. The finish line is only about 20 meters away.

'I have to!!' Say Ayaka in the heart.

.

.

.

In the end Ayaka managed to race in the last seconds. And the class 1-2 became the winner of the relay race. Once again, after Ayaka crossed the finish line, the entire field rumbled again. Russell, Mikael, the class leader, and other friends quickly approached Ayaka.

"YOOO!! It was so cool, nice Ayaka!!" Speech the class leader

"I didn't think I could race from 9th position." Mikael

"July Ayaka.." Russell

"Ma-thank you all.." Ayaka

.

However, Ayaka suddenly lost consciousness and fainted.

"DOLL?!" Mikael

"LOH?!" Speech the Class Chair

"Fiuh. good thing.." Mikael

.

Coincidentally, Wisang and Michael were not far from it, they approached Mikael to congratulate the class 1-2 for winning the relay race.

"Happy Mik, your class won the relay race." Wisang

"Yes, thanks to Ayaka too.." Mikael

"Who? Where's the ayakana?" Michael said

"Eh? It was here - (Look around)." Mikael

"Where?" Wisang

"Oh that (While pointing)." Michael said

"Well?! Cell? Said injury?!" Mikael

.

It turns out that Russel went to carry Ayaka to be taken away to the uks.

.

"Ayaka why?" Wisang

"He fainted, finished the finish." Mikael

"Owow, jude. Let's go to the cafeteria." Michael said

"Well? Not to the UKS?" Mikael

"That's it later." Michael said

"Hmm. yaudah." Mikael

The three of them decided to go to the cafeteria and rest for a while.

"Where is Rafael, by the way?" Mikael

"Hmm really, too? He said he was going to the toilet." Wisang

"Ohh.." Mikael

.

.

.

Meanwhile in the UKS. Russell had arrived and laid Ayaka on the bed, while explaining what had happened to the UKS staff.

"Thank you Russell, for helping Ayaka make it here." UKS Staff Speech

"I-yes ma'am, no problem." Russell

"So, why did Ayaka pass out?" UKS Staff Speech

"Ehh. So Ayaka was in the relay race, but after the finish she immediately fainted." Russell

"Ohh so. Yasudah, then let Ayaka rest here first." UKS Staff Speech

"Good ma'am, I'm going first." Russell

.

Meanwhile, on the way to Mikael's cafeteria, Miko was standing around the classroom.

"Who? Is there Miko? Yaudah you go to the canteen first." Mikael

"Hmm okay.." Wisang

"Come on Wis." Michael said

"Yes.." Wisang

.

Then Mikael approached Miko.

"Hi Miko." Mikael

"a- uh? Ha-hai is also Mikael." Miko

"What are you doing in front of the mading?" Mikael

"I-I'm looking at the festival schedule again.." Miko

"Ohh..." Mikael

...(.(.Instantaneous silence.)...

"Hmm. by the way congratulations for the sprint race.." Mikael

"Oh? Ma-thank you.." Miko

...(.(.Silence again.)..

"Ehhh.. You want to go to the cafeteria?" Mikael

"Bo-can.." Said Miko (He was actually hungry).

"OK on, come on.." Mikael

.

Mikael and Miko go to the cafeteria. Russell, who was heading to the cafeteria, also met Rafael who was talking to another class girl.

"What do you think about Raf?" Russell

"Th-uh? No, no more doing." Rafael

"Hmm. yaudah if I go to the cafeteria first." Russell

"Oh yeah.." Rafael

.

Arriving at the cafeteria, Russell immediately ordered a warm tea, for Ayaka.

Meanwhile Mikael and Miko are seen eating onigiri together while chatting on the sidelines.

While Michael and Wisang seem to buy some snacks and eat while walking around the school area.

.

After buying warm tea Russel returned to the UKS. There Ayaka had come to her senses from her stupor.

"Are you conscious?" Russell

"Oh, I-yes.." Ayaka

"It's warm tea.." Said Russell (While handing over the tea).

"Ehh. warm tea yes.." Say Ayaka (Actually she wants matcha).

"You just realized from fainting, if I buy matcha matcha later is too strong. So warm tea is light." Russell

"Hmm. yeah.." Ayaka

(Ayaka drank his tea)

"Hahh. good also warm tea." Ayaka

"Good.by the way, where are the UKS staff?" Russell

"It's like taking care of other patients outside." Ayaka

"Ohh. same congratulations yes just now because you our class won.." Russell

"Ehh.. (His face is red)." Ayaka

"Eh? You why? Has it fever?" Russell

"A-eh has no fever.." Ayaka

"Hmm, if that's good here, too. Can overslept. I'm gonna take a break." Said Russell (He was lying on another patient's empty bed).

"Yes, by the way, your foot has not been injured?" Ayaka

"Well, it's better." Russell

"Thank God.." Ayaka

After that, Russell fell asleep.

.
