Tokyo people don't talk about Wude

Chapter 328 Chapter 325. Sports Festival

After that day, Genji Takatsuki miraculously returned to baseball training.

Although no one knew why he suddenly changed his gender, the school and baseball team coaches were still extremely happy when they heard the news, and they were probably about to open champagne to celebrate.

High school sports clubs in Wano generally have a culture of seniors bullying juniors, and the strong bullying the weak. The baseball team of Xiu Jin Academy is not pure and innocent either.

However, Genji Takatsuki quickly integrated into the baseball team. Because he was once a "super star" in youth baseball, few people in the team dared to challenge or bully him, and they all respected him.

However, the others were probably just frightened by the menacing appearance of his 1.8-meter-high back, and did not dare to think anything wrong about him.

On the other side, Kyushu Makoto, Suzuki Hisuhito and Karasawa Takashi also signed up for projects. Kyushu Makoto participated in the obstacle race, while Suzuki Hisuhito participated in the baton race. General Tang Zegui signed up for the tug-of-war competition because he was a heavyweight in class.

Time soon came to the day of the sports festival.

The season has entered late autumn. Although there is no wind today and the sun is high in the sky, the air in the morning is unexpectedly cold.

Boys and girls wearing autumn school uniforms were sitting in the gymnasium, and on the stage were speeches by the student council president and student representatives. The chairman and a group of senior teachers sat in a row behind the stage. Although they said nothing, they still brought a great sense of oppression and made the atmosphere in the hall solemn and solemn.

"It's the golden autumn of the year again, and I'm glad that the private Xiujin Academy can usher in the 53rd Sports Festival."

After some insignificant speeches, the school song was sung together, and then the sports festival officially began.

Some of the boys and girls went to change clothes, and so did Kyushu Cheng.

Although his steeplechase race was in the afternoon, there was no need to wait until then to change clothes.

After taking off the autumn school uniform that covered his figure, Kyushu Cheng put on a white T-shirt and sports pants, and then inadvertently observed his figure.

"Kyushu Makoto" has always had a very thin body type, but compared to the sallow and skinny appearance of a monkey in May, which was as malnourished as a monkey, at this time his body has begun to take on the edge of a warrior. The tight skin is covered with lean and well-shaped muscles, with almost no soft spots visible, and the narrow bones have also grown a lot through continuous fighting and training.

If he continues training, his body shape should be closer to that of warriors like Bruce Lee.

"Hey, Kyushu-san is so strong!" Suzuki Hisuhito, who was changing clothes, praised.

Kyushu Makoto glanced at Suzuki Yuhito. His figure was not fat, but had no traces of muscle. No wonder he was surprised.

When Suzuki Yuhito shouted, other male students around him couldn't help but look over, and then they all exclaimed:
"Hey, is this a figure that only people in sports clubs have?"

"Which sports club does he belong to? His figure looks so fierce!"

"Ugh, there seems to be scars on his back and shoulders."

"I recognized him. He has such a terrifying figure as Kyushu Makoto. He really came from the underworld, right?"

Faced with the whispers of others, Jiuzhou Cheng coughed lightly and deliberately raised his voice and said: "I am just an ordinary student and have never been involved in the underworld. Don't follow the news department and spread rumors~"

The other students were all dumbfounded, and no one dared to talk about him anymore.

The episode in the locker room was quickly revealed, and then the sports festival game officially began.

Accompanied by the entrance music, boys and girls wearing sports uniforms with class signs on their backs walked into the stadium, and warm applause and cheers came from the surrounding auditorium.

In order to end the sports festival within one day, many small games that are not highly entertaining are held at the same time.

For example, a 100-meter sprint race is being held on the playground's track, while a rope skipping competition and a long jump competition are taking place in the center of the playground.

This year, the opening ceremony was the kendo exhibition organized by the kendo club. The kendo minister led several members to the stage in the center of the playground, played a few friendly matches symbolically, and then left amid cheers and applause.

Ever since the Kendo Club won the Jade Dragon Banner Championship, Xiujin College has been particularly fond of showing them off, wishing to take them out for a walk in every major campus event. The students have become accustomed to it.

After that, various competitions officially started. From time to time, explanations from student union members came on the radio, and from time to time, people cheered for the players.

"Haha. No, I'm exhausted!"

The tug-of-war was over. General Tang Zegui held his waist and panted back to the auditorium of Class 2, Grade 2.

The other classmates who participated also looked devastated and seemed to have lost the game.

"Damn it, the class opposite is so foul, they just sent a few sumo wrestlers up here!"

"Those bastards from Class 5 also mocked us for our lack of strength. If you have the guts, don't let those fat pigs come on stage!"

Kyushu Cheng heard the competing students complaining.

"Okay, everyone has worked hard." Seeing this, Teacher Jiangdiao stepped forward to hand them water: "Friendship comes first, competition comes second. It doesn't matter if you lose, it's not a life-or-death competition~"

With the comfort of the head teacher, the students who lost the game managed to calm down.

The game went on in an orderly manner, and the time soon came to the afternoon——

"Next is the baseball club's exhibition game!"

The playground was quickly cleared, and a group of boys in baseball uniforms walked into the field, bowed in unison to the cheering audience, and then began to set up their formation for the game.

Baseball is the national sport in Wano. Some people say that "the fastest way for Wano athletes to become famous is to excel in baseball games."

Although baseball is a team sport that values ​​cooperation, it also values ​​the individual qualities of its players. There will often be situations where a super-powerful ace player leads a team of rookies to victory.

Because of this, despite the complex rules of baseball and the high threshold for viewing, it is a sport that is highly entertaining and can often produce miracles. No wonder people in Wano have a special liking for it.

"Look, Brother Gen is here too!" Suzuki Hisuhito stretched out his hand in the stands and followed the direction of his finger and saw Genji Takatsuki on the field.

Everyone heard Genji Takatsuki mention a few days ago that the baseball club intends to let him play in the exhibition game of the sports festival, so that he can find his touch and test his current true level.

Genji Takatsuki wore a slim-fitting white baseball uniform today and held a wooden bat.

What is surprising is that even though Genji Takatsuki joined the baseball team, he still has a slicked back hair, which is incompatible with the other green-skinned and short-haired players around him.

Logically speaking, sports clubs such as baseball teams will require their players to shave their hair short, and boys should shave their heads as much as possible, otherwise long hair will easily affect their game performance.

However, the coach may have been afraid of upsetting Genji Takatsuki, so he did not order him to change his hairstyle.

While everyone was chatting, the game started with the whistle blowing.

Typically, a baseball game lasts four to five hours. However, considering the time limit of the sports festival, today's baseball exhibition game is expected to last only half an hour and end with a warm-up.

At the start of the game, Genji Takatsuki was assigned to the leadoff batter position.

The opposing pitcher raised one foot, twisted his body forty-five degrees, then rotated his body and threw the ball in his hand, flying towards Takatsuki Genji's position.

The speed of this ball is so fast that it is almost difficult to see clearly with the naked eye. If you are an ordinary person without training, you may not even be able to see the trajectory of the ball flying over.

Many viewers also held their breath and became nervous for him.

However, Takatsuki Genji just narrowed his eyes, raised the baseball bat to his side, and then seized the opportunity to swing it hard.

"boom--!"

With a dull sound, the bat hit the baseball, and the white ball flew into the distance.

"Run!" "Go pick up the ball!"

The players on both sides reacted quickly and immediately started running on the field.

"You can't even hit a home run with a walk-off like this. I've really become a lot weaker." Genji Takatsuki sighed in a voice that only he could hear, and ran towards first base.

But while running, he inadvertently turned his head and looked at the auditorium of Class 2, Grade 2, where Kyushu Cheng was also watching him.

"Handsome, keep up the good work!" Sensing Genji Takatsuki's gaze, Kyushu Makoto gave him a thumbs up to encourage him.

"This kind of performance that can't even enter Koshien is not handsome. You have to work harder!" Genji Takatsuki sneered at himself and accelerated towards the first base.

The game ended in an instant. Since it was a friendly match, both sides played very easily. Genji Takatsuki also performed very well in the game and was at the upper level among the players.

However, Takatsuki Genji seemed very dissatisfied with his performance today. When Kyushu Makoto praised him, he just said modestly: "There have been too many regressions."

"Then just get your feelings back, it's still too late." Kyushu Chengnori replied.

"Well, of course I will." Takatsuki Genji nodded silently.

Suzuki Hisahito and Karasawa Takashi looked confused. They still don't know what method Kyushu Makoto used to persuade Takatsuki Genji to return to the baseball club and make him willingly participate in training and competitions.

However, seeing Genji Takatsuki looking goal-oriented and motivated now, the two people who were once his "little brothers" were somewhat relieved. The sports festival was still going on, and soon it was time to get to the obstacle course in which Kyushu Makoto participated.

The obstacle race requires a larger venue and is classified as a "high spectacle" event, so it is held separately in the afternoon.

In other words, during the competition, the whole school's eyes were focused on these players.

The staff quickly arranged the venue. This obstacle race will roughly go around the playground for two weeks, including a series of obstacles such as climbing walls, walking on single-plank bridges, crawling forward, etc. You need to follow the rules and pass them one by one, and pass them in the fastest possible time. The speed reaches the end.

Kyushu Cheng took off his coat, came to the starting point with the other players amidst the referee's instructions, and then ran away amidst the sound of gunfire.

And finally.
"First place - Grade 2, Class 2, Kyushu Makoto! Time: four minutes and fifteen seconds!"

Amidst the referee's announcement and the admiration of the audience, Kyushu Cheng waved around modestly and relaxedly, and then left.

Just then, the second-ranked player ran across the key point out of breath, covered in dust.

Kyushu Makoto was like James Bond possessed during the game, deeply imprinted in the minds of the audience, making them unforgettable.

Take the first wall climbing event for example, other contestants had to use ropes to climb up the two-meter-high wall little by little, and then carefully climb over the top of the wall and jump down. But Jiuzhou Cheng jumped over the top of the wall with a single kick, and then rolled forward to the ground in one go, without any hesitation, and left the second place behind by nearly ten seconds.

As for the subsequent obstacle events that would make ordinary high school students anxious, Kyushu Cheng also passed them as easily as if he were in a children's playground. Each time he passed one, he would leave the second place behind him further behind.

When Kyushu Makoto returned to the audience, Suzuki Hisahito and Karasawa Takashi were the first to greet him, praising him from beginning to end with glittering eyes.

Teacher Etori and several close classmates also came to congratulate him, but Kyushu Makoto didn't care much about the championship - it was just an entertainment event at the school sports meeting anyway, and there was no prize money for winning.

Today's sports festival ended with the final [Borrowing Object Race]. One student from each class was sent to draw lots, and then they had to complete the race with the items required on the lot.

In order to increase the entertainment, the signing papers are basically filled with interesting items, such as "the object of secret love" and "the decorations on the head teacher's body".
"Ah ah ah, the one I drew is [the strongest man in the class]!" The contestant from Class 2, Grade 2, was a small girl. She took the lottery ticket and ran towards the auditorium of her class in a panic. Come.

Since the outcome of the competition was related to the honor of the class, her classmates started to help her search after hearing about it.

"Does the strongest man in the class mean the monitor?"

"It depends on the situation, but it should be squad leader Okutegawa. This is just my personal opinion."

"It should be the squad leader, but if you include a few of [them], the situation is different."

"Them? You mean."

The students couldn't help but look at the [Delinquent Three] in their class, and Kyushu Makoto, who was sitting among the three like the boss.

The strongest man in Class 2 of their second year must be the [Crazy Wolf] who even the class president can't avoid!

Almost everyone in the school knows that Kyushu Makoto is a strong person. If the players in their class don't take Kyushu Makoto to the finish line, they may not be judged to have completed the competition.

The classmates looked at the little girl in panic, but the little girl hesitated and then stepped forward and asked timidly:

"Nine, Kyushu-san, that, that"

The little girl was obviously very afraid of Kyushu Makoto. She couldn't even speak clearly and her voice was as hard to hear as a mosquito.

Kyushu Cheng was about to turn his attention to her, but was stopped by another girl:

"Senior! Excuse me!"

Kyushu Cheng followed the sound and found that it was Mizuhashi Hideki running towards him. Her legs in sports shorts were shaking slightly. She held her knees and gasped:
"Senior, can you accompany me for a while?"

"A borrowing thing competition?" Jiuzhou Cheng asked with a smile: "Is it me you are looking for?"

"Yes, can you please come with me, senior?!" Probably because she was very tired from running, Mizuhashi Hideki's face was red and she bit her lip lightly:

"If senior is not happy, then that's because I can't think of any other candidates, so..."

"That's it, let's go." Jiuzhou understood sincerely, holding the school girl's hand and running towards the finish line.

"Hey, senior, please slow down!" Mizuhashi Hideki was suddenly dragged by him and started running, her heartbeat speeding up like a leaping deer.

"Classmate Jiujiushu?" Looking at Jiuzhou Cheng's back, the little girl in the same class stood there in a daze.

"What are you doing standing still? Go and chase!" The other students ordered anxiously: "If it weren't for him, the referee would definitely not recognize us!"

"Yes!" The little girl shrank her head and quickly chased after Kyushu Cheng's back - even though the distance between the two became farther and farther.

While Kyushu Makoto was running with Mizuhashi Hideki, Kyushu Makoto suddenly asked curiously:
"Mizuhashi-kun, what lottery did you draw?"

"Hey, why are you asking this, senior?" Mizuhashi Eiki lowered her eyes, blinked a few times with a guilty conscience, and clenched the paper in her hand tightly.

"The rules don't say you can't tell others what your signature is, right?" Jiuzhou Cheng thought: "Since you came to me, it must be because I am the only one who meets the content of the signature, right?"

"Yes, yes, hahaha~" Mizuhashi Hideki forced a smile, her cheeks turning even redder.

"Is it a [senior student I know] or [a classmate I had lunch with] or something like that?" Kyushu Makoto asked kindly, "I'm just curious. If you really don't want to talk about it, that's fine."

"He is [the most respected person in the school]!" Mizuhashi Hideki quickly replied: "Yeah! After much thought, only senior is the most suitable, there is no second choice!"

"That's it. I'm glad that you value me so much." Jiuzhou Cheng was very happy after hearing this. He immediately grasped the girl's delicate wrist and ordered:

"The finish line is ahead, sprint!"

"Well, come on, senior!"

After the two crossed the finish line, the referee took the lottery slip from Mizuhashi Hideki's hand and smiled knowingly after seeing the words "Favorite" on it.

Mizuhashi Hideki quickly put her finger to her lips and made a "hush" gesture to the referee.

The referee tacitly folded the note back to her, and then announced: "You pass!"

In the end, Mizuhashi Hideki and Kyushu Makoto teamed up to get fifth place in the school. Although they were not the champions, they still ranked among the best. Their class was very satisfied with the result.

As for the second class of the second year, because the little girl really couldn't catch up with Kyushu Makoto, she finally had to go back and ask the monitor to intervene - since he was the strongest man in the class, it seemed reasonable to choose the "monitor".

After the borrowed object race came the award ceremony and closing ceremony. This year's sports festival has come to an end.

The students went to the locker room to change clothes one after another, and then left the school talking and laughing.

"Ah~ Our class didn't get a good ranking this year~" Suzuki Yuhito took off his sticky sweatshirt and complained.

"It's all because of that first-grade vixen that we lost the object borrowing competition." A class two student in the corner complained in a low voice, but when he happened to raise his head and look at Kyushu Makoto, he shut up in fear.

"Whatever, you can't make a living with this kind of ranking anyway~" Takasawa shrugged and said indifferently: "Speaking of which, Brother Takatsuki's performance today is really handsome. Maybe he can really make it to Koshien!"

"This level is still far away." Takatsuki Genji changed into his school uniform and said calmly: "But I will enter Koshien before the end of high school, right, Kyushu-san?"

"Of course, I believe you." Jiuzhou Cheng looked up at him and smiled.

"Ah~ Kyushu-san's obstacle race today was also very cool. There was such a big gap between you and the people behind you, you almost drove the second place crazy~" Suzuki Hisuhito continued to admire.

"I only know some basic parkour skills, not very powerful." Jiuzhou Cheng said, but the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

"Jingle Bell---!"

"Hello, is this Mr. Yugami?" Jiuzhou Cheng answered the phone and knew who the other party was.

[Hey, little brother from Kyushu! 】 Xi Shenjian said on the other end of the phone: 【I thought it was time for school to be over at your place, so I contacted you at the right time. 】

"What, is there an urgent commission?" Jiuzhou Cheng asked.

[Well, it is a very urgent commission. The specific situation is very complicated, so I have to explain it to you in person. 】Xi Shenjian’s tone became heavier:

[But I can reveal some news to you first. Do you remember the Mickey we met last time? 】

"Remember, why, he committed a crime again?" Jiuzhou Cheng asked with a frown.

【He was killed. 】Xi Shenjian said:

[According to police investigation, he died of deliberate murder. At the same time, the police also discovered another deceased, Niu Cun, who was his classmate. 】
