Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 747 - 745: At This Moment, Aozawa Feels the Pressure
After the warm-up exercises finished, Ayatsuki Ayaka led the cheerleading squad in a dance on site.
The lively dance moves of the girls whipped the atmosphere into a frenzy.
At this moment, the three competing teams began tying their headbands in their respective team colors.
Aozawa was no exception.
He signed up for the mixed-gender events, as well as all the boys' events.
You could say he participated in most competitions from morning until the final event of the sports festival.
The first event of the sports festival was the mixed-gender race.
Four-legged race.
Aozawa and three others tied their feet together.
One of them was a first-year member of the Kendo Club.
"Captain, let's do our best together!"
"Alright, when we shout 1, we'll lift the left foot forward; when it's 2, we'll lift the right foot forward, alternating like that."
Aozawa said and then asked the other three: "Do any of you have objections?"
"No objections."
The Kendo Club member answered first, and the others also had no objections.
Each team sent two groups to compete in the four-legged race.
The most competitive group was Ayatsuki Ayaka's group.
She, along with Takahashi Saeko, Miyahara Kaoru, and the obedient Hojo Shouko, probably made it easier to be in sync.
Next was Phoenix Academy Maggie.
She stood on the left, with Nomura True Wave next to her, followed by Furusawa Kyoichiro and another unfamiliar male student.
As for Hojo Tetsuji, Aozawa felt he could ignore him; in this kind of event that urgently requires teamwork, it basically spelled his failure.
"Go, Iroha!"
Morimoto Chiyoda stood outside the field, waving to cheer on Ayatsuki Ayaka.
However, her gentle voice didn't carry far and was drowned out by the cheers of other parents and the cheerleaders.
As soon as the loud starting gun went off, Aozawa immediately shouted, "1!"
He stepped out with his left foot.
Due to different understandings of step length, they almost fell on their first step. Aozawa quickly adjusted and stabilized the three.
Things were better on his end, but Hojo Tetsuji managed to pull down all his three teammates from the start.
"Hey, what are you guys doing?"
"Isn't it because you unexpectedly took such a big step?"
Amidst the complaints, Hojo Tetsuji already lagged behind the other teams. Anxiously, he wanted to move immediately.
But also considering that it was a sports contest, he couldn't abandon his other teammates and dragging them to the finish line obviously wouldn't count as a win.
"1, 2, 1, 2." Phoenix Academy Maggie chanted rhythmically, and the four-legged group moved in synchromoniously.
Unexpectedly, they achieved the leading position.
Ayatsuki Ayaka felt embarrassed; Saeko and Kaoru performed flawlessly; her coordination was off, not to mention her excessive strength.
There was no need to even think about winning this race.
...
Inside the school, lively music played through the broadcast as the Red, Blue, and White teams competed intensely.
On the soccer field, the cute girls in cheerleader outfits were vigorously shouting encouragements, exposing arms and thighs, with their short skirts barely covering their thighs.
As for what's hidden under their skirts?
Needless to say.
Of course, they wore safety shorts.
Aozawa wasn't participating in the forthcoming race, which was the girls' relay.
Each of the three teams dispatched two groups, each consisting of five people.
But as to which team would win the race.
Aozawa already anticipated it; it would definitely belong to the White Team.
The first runner of the White Team was Hojo Shouko.
Ayatsuki Ayaka was selected for the final leg.
With their physical capabilities, they were bound to overpower everyone else.
Phoenix Academy Maggie and Arakawa Reina were always the lone runners, either at the start or contending at the final leg.
Considering there might not even be a chance to run the final leg.
Phoenix Academy Maggie had no choice but to take her shot at the start.
She poised herself into a starting stance for the athletics race, glancing at Hojo Shouko and Arakawa Reina beside her, both were ready to go.
Their tight white T-shirts clenched, revealing the curves outlined by their sports shorts.
It made the girls' starting postures appear as beautiful as artworks, worthy of appreciation.
With the starting gun sounding, Maggie's tensed leg muscles stomped the ground, her explosive power felt as though it could burst her shoes open.
The entire person dashed out instantly, raising the momentum with such force that it lifted gray dust off the track.
Rumble ~
The strong wind noise silenced all the cheering from outside the field.
She charged forward toward the baton receiver.
Even though they had practiced beforehand, the girl receiving the baton was still startled by the alarming speed, as if seeing a roaring massive truck charging toward her.
The intimidating aura made her face change greatly.
"Catch it!"
Maggie shouted loudly, prompting a reflexive muscle reaction in the girl, who raised her hand to catch the baton, and then burst forward.
"Oh oh! Classmate Phoenix Academy showcased astonishing speed, becoming the first to complete the baton exchange for the second leg.
But Hojo-kun and Arakawa-kun weren't slow either, completing the second baton exchange one after the other!"
"Wow, are they really high school students running at this speed?!"
"Only in movies with high school girls."
Some classmates complained.
Phoenix Academy Maggie stood still, feeling a slight sense of relief in her heart; she had pushed herself to her absolute limit.
Among the second baton runners, the Red Team was the first to sprint out.
This meant she had surpassed Arakawa Reina and Hojo Shouko, glancing at them briefly before focusing on the final baton exchange position.
Ayatsuki Ayaka crossed her arms, displaying the demeanor of a general.
In such a sure-win scenario, she really didn't know how to lose.
Now she only needed to think about how she should pose when crossing the finish line.
"Maru, should I hold my head high, or should I cross the finish line more discreetly?"
"Iroha, you really don't seem to take me seriously."
Tama Chan couldn't help but complain; she was the last runner for the Red Team.
Ayatsuki Ayaka shrugged and said, "Maru, there's no helping it, this is the difference in ability."
Seeing her flaunting demeanor, Tama Chan clenched her fist, deciding to sprint at her maximum speed, giving Ayatsuki Ayaka no chance to react.
With the sports teacher's enthusiastic commentary, the emotions of the students and parents present were fully mobilized, each loudly cheering for their acquaintance or team.
"Here we go! Student Kato from the Red Team is in the lead; they are the first to complete the last baton exchange!"
Tama Chan took the baton, charging forward with all her might like a horse released from the gate.
The goal is the finish line.
Seeing her explosive speed, Ayatsuki Ayaka was startled; she then glanced at her teammate running towards her and quickly reached out.
She doesn't want to be the hare in the race with the tortoise, losing the match.
"Student Konishi from the Blue Team has also completed the last baton exchange."
Ayatsuki Ayaka grew increasingly anxious, her muscles tense as her teammate handed over the baton, instantly exerting force and creating a powerful whistling wind in the venue once more.
Prepared, Tama Chan couldn't help but break into a cold sweat; the sense of pressure from behind was overwhelming, as if a wild dragon was roaring closer through the wind.
At this moment, she felt a sense of despair as if she were about to be consumed.
"Oh! Student Ayatsuki from the White Team is also showcasing incredible speed!"
As the sports teacher expressed amazement, Ayatsuki Ayaka surpassed Tama Chan, rushing straightforwardly to the finish line.
She spread her arms wide, choosing not to be discreet but to hold her head high, striking the finish line.
"Victory! Student Ayatsuki from the White Team wins the relay race championship at phenomenal speed!"
The microphone on the commentary platform shouted the results, reverberating loudly.
The sunshine falling from the sky was so bright; Ayatsuki Ayaka looked up, feeling glory form a crown upon her head for the first time in her life.
She felt like she was ascending to the throne as an empress, becoming brilliant and dazzling.
The girls from the White Team quickly surrounded her, tossing her into the air.
"Haha!"
Ayatsuki Ayaka wasn't afraid at all, laughing loudly, full of pride, even flashing a victory sign at Aozawa and Morimoto Chiyoda in mid-air.
She also gestured the victory sign to Sister Ayaka and her parents, letting them see her current glory!
"Is that Iroha?"
Ayaka was full of confusion, she didn't know when her sister became so fast.
Could it be that after awakening superpowers, even physical quality would be enhanced?
So envious, how annoying!
She felt herself turning into a dark worm squirming in places the sun didn't reach.
"Iroha! Well done!"
The parents reacted very excitedly, not questioning Ayatsuki Ayaka's speed.
After all, they had been busy at work earlier and hadn't paid much attention to Ayatsuki Ayaka's status for quite a while.
Most of the time, Ayaka acted as their surrogate, performing their parental duties.
The first place gains glory, rendering the second place unspectacular.
But Tama Chan didn't show any signs of regret, she just looked at Ayatsuki Ayaka, who was so happy, with eyes revealing a bit of fondness.
Hopes that the White Team wins.
She decisively betrays her stance for the Red Team.
...
After the girls' relay race, the boys' relay race follows.
Morimoto Chiyoda patted Aozawa on the shoulder, "Good luck."
He smiled and said, "Chitose, even for our promise, I must win this match."
"Then let me look forward to your performance."
Morimoto Chiyoda gave a cheeky smile, also spotting Phoenix Academy Maggie stealthily observing among the crowd.
She quickly grasped Aozawa's shoulder, then took initiative, leaning in, giving him a kiss on the cheek.
The weight on the shoulder and the softness on the cheek seemed like a kiss offered by the death goddess from the underworld.
Well, it was a joke.
Only Aozawa could definitely feel the sharp gaze from Phoenix Academy Maggie like a knife; the air seemed filled with the scent of jealousy.
He couldn't help but show a wry smile, "Chitose."
"Don't you like it?"
"I do."
There was nothing more Aozawa could say as he joined others heading towards the final baton exchange position.
Standing by the adjacent track was Hojo Tetsuji.
With a face full of fighting spirit, he said, "Aozawa, I won't lose to you in the last baton!"
In previous matches, whenever there were team collaborations, Hojo Tetsuji often messed things up.
But for this relay baton race, he felt no issues, as long as he made every effort to reach the finish line.
"I won't lose either."
Aozawa casually replied, his eyes sweeping over the audience.
Morimoto Chiyoda, Arakawa Reina, Ayatsuki Ayaka, Phoenix Academy Maggie, and even Hojo Shouko were all watching.
Strangely, he did feel a bit of pressure.
