Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 85: Running Wild

New Taipei No. 1 Middle School has two sports venues. One is the old campus sports center near the junior high school teaching building. It has a large stadium and is the place for hosting school sports meets and even higher-level sports meets.

It has a standard 400-meter running track, a football field, a long jump sand pit, stands with sunshades...it has everything. It still maintains the style of New Taipei No. 1 High School. Although it is old, it is still very useful.

There is also a gymnasium next to it, which is equipped with two basketball courts and eight badminton courts. The stands are rather limited. It is mainly used for training of badminton and basketball teams, and sometimes for organizing activities.

Another place for sports is at the foot of the mountain, between the first-grade dormitory building and the school gate.

The 200-meter running track surrounds two basketball courts and a big banyan tree. There is also a long jump sand pit. There are two more basketball courts on one side of the running track. There is even an iron shed in the corner to shelter from the rain, and there are two more basketball courts inside.

The first grade of junior high school is basically a paradise for basketball lovers.

"There are quite a lot of people running." Li Yan said as he stretched his body.

"It's just the beginning of the school year and everyone is very active. You should run regularly, right?" Li Ruofei jumped on the spot, looking full of energy.

This is a characteristic of basketball players. It involves full-body exercise with high core requirements. Some movements are very wide and close, and great emphasis is placed on body coordination and strength.

In sports that involve physical confrontation, people seem to have to be a little tougher.

Li Ruofei gives people this impression. He doesn't have very prominent muscles, but his whole body is very coordinated and has a sense of tightness.

Li Yan is a little different when playing badminton. His thigh muscles and deltoid muscles are particularly prominent, but compared to Li Ruofei's "hardness", his gives people a feeling of "elasticity".

"Run often, why don't you jog a thousand meters for practice?"

"no problem!"

After running five laps, both sides expressed their appreciation for each other's physical fitness.

Needless to say, Li Yan's cardio and lungs are of course 36, and her running skills of 33 are not something she studied in vain during the summer vacation.

However, Li Ruofei's breathing became steady and his mental state became even better after jogging a thousand meters, which was somewhat beyond Li Yan's expectations.

"When I was on the basketball team, I ran back and forth from both ends of the court. I trained myself to do this."

"Ruofei!" With a loud greeting, a strong track and field student in shorts and spiked shoes came running over from a distance.

"Hey, senior, long time no see." Li Ruofei hugged the newcomer. "Li Yan, let me introduce you. This is my senior from the same elementary school. He is now in the second grade of junior high school and is a special student in sprinting."

"Hello, Zheng Qinyuan."

Li Yan smiled and shook hands, "Chuyi, Li Yan, Muzi Li..."

"I have long heard of your name, Li Yan."

Li Yan's clenched hand trembled, and he looked at Li Ruofei with a smile. Li Ruofei quickly waved his hand to indicate that this was not the game he arranged.

"We were training on the day you came to take the special recruitment physical test. Later, when Director Lei came to look for you, I was in the lounge next door." Zheng Qinyuan has a rugged appearance, with muscular body and great body lines.

"That's right. What a coincidence."

"I heard it all. In the past few years, I haven't heard of anyone from New Taipei First High School being admitted to Class Zero through the sports special recruitment. It's incredible. Our entire track and field team is talking about you."

Come on... Before I become powerful enough to kill you all, it's okay to have a low sense of presence.

"We all said that you didn't run very hard during the physical test."

You've figured this out? Li Yan could only smile awkwardly. It was a question she couldn't deny or admit.

"Come on, compete with me?"

The real purpose is revealed! Since leaving Teacher Chen Wenjing, Li Yan hasn't experienced this move for a while.

"I can't compare, I'm just a badminton player."

"Don't be modest, just run a 100-meter race." Seeing that this passionate brother was about to get angry again, Li Ruofei was ready to persuade him to stop, but he heard Li Yan suddenly say:
"Come on, come on, one hundred meters."

Hey, so this is also a passionate young man?
Of course Li Ruofei didn't know that Li Yan was just practicing his basic policy - try everything.

Who knows, after running this hundred meters, with some pointers from Senior Brother Zheng, my understanding of sprinting may improve, and my running skills may even rise a bit?
The inner circle included students who wanted to keep fit after school, so the two could only compete on the side straight track where the track and field team trained. It was an informal competition, so their starting posture was just casual.

But what about the four or five track and field athletes on the opposite side who are staring at this side?

At Li Ruofei's command, the two men touched the ground to start.

As soon as he leaned forward, Li Yan felt that he was falling behind. From the first step, he reacted faster, but he was still overtaken.

It’s only a hundred meters. It looks fast, but it’s even faster when you run it.

Li Yan has been trying to catch up. At the beginning, she was still thinking about what a standard running posture was, but later she had no time to think about it at all.

It's really uncomfortable when there's someone pressing against you during a sprint!

The only thing on his mind was "catching up and overtaking", and he immediately started running like crazy.

This is the deep-rooted instinct of human beings, running!
The scene in Japanese comics where someone explodes after shouting a few passionate lines did not appear. Li Yan still lost to this second-year junior high school sprinter without any suspense.

It didn't feel like I lost much, but I was more than one body length behind throughout the whole race. In the sport of sprinting, that's already two levels of ability.

Not to mention that judging from the light deceleration Brother Zheng showed after crossing the line, he should have only used 70% to 80% of his strength.

Judging from the surprised and even horrified expressions of the track and field athletes, my posture in the 100-meter race must have been not very elegant.

It doesn't matter if it's not pretty, it's the first time I experienced this "running hard" instinct, and it also improved my running skills.

34 points, not bad. If Senior Brother Zheng is willing to give me some advice...

"Senior brother is really amazing, I really can't compare to him."

Brother Zheng said with a smile that the future belongs to you, and then returned to the lounge at the glances of his teammates.

Li Yan turned around and expressed her frustration to Li Ruofei about not being able to catch up no matter how hard they tried, and walked to the big banyan tree to rest.

"Brother Yuan, is that boy Li Yan? What's going on?"

Zheng Qinyuan relaxed his thighs and said, "It's him. He's quite good, but I didn't use my full strength."

"No, he was running like a monkey, running around!"

"what?"

"We were all stunned. This kid seemed to be running well at first, but suddenly he lost control. He was just running at full speed!"

Zheng Qinyuan frowned. Running is actually a sport that requires a lot of technical skills. It does not rely solely on physical fitness as many people imagine. If you master the skills, it is normal for the same person in the same physical condition to achieve a higher score.

Running wildly may seem like a desperate move, but it may actually have the opposite effect.

Then there is a lot of room for imagination about Li Yan's future level. Not only these sports students have this idea, but the teachers of the track and field team are also looking at the banyan tree.

Li Yan was just upset because Brother Zheng left without giving him any guidance. During the track and field practice, Li Yan and the track and field team were in love and just wanted to break the window paper.

Suddenly, a powerful pass escaped from the basketball court and flew straight towards Li Yan. Li Ruofei stretched out his hand to intercept it casually, crossed it twice and passed it back gracefully.

The force of these two blows and the smoothness of the movements show that it was done by a master.

The group of people on the opposite side who were catching the ball stopped and shouted:
"Dude, wanna form a team?"
