Time really goes fast...
Tommorow the vacation ends...
"This vacation was also like my previous life..."
"Well atleast I had fun with Ayanokoji and Hiyori..."
*phone ring*
"Phone call? There are people except me awake at f*cking 6 am at a vacation day?"
*pick up the call*
"Hello?"
"Oh hello yoshida you there?"
It was none other than Ike
"Yeah what's up?"
"Oh just wanted to ask if you wanna go to the pool together after all our vacation ends tomorrow"
Pool?
"Sure I guess"
"Great! See you at the pool"
*hangs up*
"Looks like my last day will be fun"
I took a shower put my clothes and went straight towards the pool
Wait... Didn't the 'operation delta' thing happened in this time around...
Nah... They changed pretty much over these days at least I hope so...
I reached my destination and saw Ike waving towards me
He was with sudo yamauchi and sotomura
Ayanokoji horikita kushida sakura karuizawa and Hirata were just behind them.
I approached them
"You made it just in time yoshida we were about to enter the pool"
"Yeah..."
"Yoshida kun you are also here?" Horikita asked with a surprised face
"Yeah Ike invited me so I decided to come"
"I see"
For some reason she shot a glare at Ayanokoji.
"Enough talk let's enter the pool and Yoshida let's have a swimming match here"
Does this guy ever get tired...
"Sudo let's do it later sometime I just want to enjoy today"
"Fine..."
As we were about to enter the pool a loud voice called out to me
"Yoshida kunnn"
It was Ichinose along with her friends
"Ichinose? You are also going to the pool today?"
"Yeah... My friends made the plan and I joined them"
"I see"
She's pretty much like me but she's popular unlike me
"Since we all are here together let's go together"
"Yeah yeah yeah yeah let's do it" Ike and Yamauchi interrupted
"Then let's go"Ichinose said smiling brightly
We entered the pool together
The boys and girls separated and went to their changing room
As I was changing my dress sudo called out to me
"Yo yoshida did you get more buffed in the vacation?"
"Maybe..."
(Afterall I only eat workout and sleep in the past few days)
"Damn I can't loose to you afterall"
"Its not that great as you think your body itself is very well built"
"It may not be a big deal for you but its for me and I am gonna catch up to you soon enough"
"Yeah yeah as you wish"
After changing to my trunks I left the changing room
A few moments later the girls arrived as well
Ichinose approached me
"Yoshida kun you really have a nice body"
"Oh... Um thank you I guess"
"So...What do you think about my swimsuit?"
No wonder everyone gets flustered talking to her after all 'those' are way too big
When I first saw her in the novel I was really surprised by her 'growth'
It really is hard to not look
"Yoshida kun?"
"Oh? Yeah it suits you. You look beautiful Ichinose."
"I-Is that so.... Thank you"
"Its nothing I just said what I thought"
I lied I was too fascinated by her 'things' that I couldn't see her swim suit properly.
But anyways now that I look at it even though its a bit bold it really suits her
"Looks like someone's flirting~" Kushida said in a teasing tone
"K-kushida san its not like that"
"Yeah she just asked me how her swimsuit was and I just replied that's all"
Somehow ichinose looked disappointed
"Heh~ is that so... So Yoshida kun do you like my swimsuit?"
"Yeah Your's suit you too"
"Is that all?"
"Do you want me say something more?"
"Yeah tell me whether its cute or not"
"Oh yeah its cute. You look beautiful in this"
"Heh~ so whose do you like more mine or ichinose san's?"
"Kushida san!"
"Uh... For me both are good you both look very beautiful in your own swimsuit my opinion won't change the truth"
That was kinda cringe...
They both looked pretty embarrassed after I said that
"Anyways let's go now the others are already playing in the pool."
"Y-yeah"
We went to the pool and played with the others
After playing for a while I got out of the pool.
I saw ayanokoji sitting there by himself so I approached him
"Yo ayanokoji you are not gonna play?"
"No I am fine here"
"I see by the way have you seen the three idiots?"
"No its been a while since I haven't seen them"
Oh no looks like they couldn't keep their true nature hidden for too long
But anyways it will be taken care by him anyways.
As I was talking I saw sudo coming from the bathroom.
"Yo sudo"
"Oh yoshida what's up?"
"Nothing its just I haven't you three for a while"
"But where are the other two?"
"I don't know I haven't seen them either"
What...? Looks like sudo really isn't involved
Well at least its a good thing
"I see well I am done playing so I was thinking of leaving. Will you stay?"
"Oh? Yeah I will go with those two"
"I see bye then"
"Bye"
After getting changed I bid my farewell to others and left the pool
I went directly towards my dorm.
I put my phone on the table and went directly to the bed
It was pretty fun hanging out friends now and then
In my previous life I didn't socialize much so I never had this kind of experience
But in this life I can do all the stuff I missed. I really am glad to be here
I got off my bed took a shower and went to sleep
"With this my vacation ends"
Next day
I woke up at 6 am
Took a shower and started making my own bento
"Its better to make my own bento than spend points on it"
After making my bento I packed my stuffs and went to the school.
The sports festival is coming....
I entered my class
For some reason I feel like I am being watched more than usual... It was like that on the pool as well
Maybe its my imagination.
Chabashira sensei arrived
"From today the classes will resume again. However, in the 2nd semester, from September to the start of October for a period of one month, in anticipation for the sports festival, there will be increased physical education classes. Keep that in mind for the distribution of the new timetables. And also, along with the timetables, material regarding the sports festival will also be distributed. The students from the front will distribute the printouts to the back".
The moment they heard the word sports festival, screams rose up from a part of the class.
It was probably from sudo's side
"Once again, the school's HQ will be presenting the same details as the printouts. If necessary, remember to use it as reference".
"Sensei, is this also one of the special exams?".
As the class representative, after raising his hand, Hirata asked that question.
"You lot are free to interpret it however you want. Either way, there's no mistaking the fact that it will have a massive influence on each and every class".
Sensei neither denied nor confirmed it
"Yoshida here"
Ayanokoji passed me the printout
"Thanks"
"Your welcome"
"There are probably already those who have seen through it and noticed but this sports festival has adopted the method of dividing all school years into two separate groups and have them compete against each other. You lot in Class D have been assigned to the Red Team. And Class A too, will be competing in the same Red Team. For the duration of this sports festival, it means Class A will be your allies".
"Woah, seriously? It'll actually be something like that!?".
It couldn't be helped that Ike would be surprised.
"First of all, look over the outcomes that can come of the sports festival. I don't feel like explaining many times over so make sure to listen up well this once".
Chabashira-sensei taps the printout while explaining the vital checkpoints.
Rules and Groupings of the Sports Festival
The sports festival's competitive system is built upon dividing all school years between the Red Team and the White Team.
The classification will be Class A and Class D in the Red Team. The White Team will consist of Class B and Class C.
• Allocation of points for all participants in the competitions (Individual Contests)
Depending on the results 1st place 15 points, 2nd place 12 points, 3rd place 10 points, 4th place 8 points will be allocated.
1 point each will be deducted for placing lower than 5th place. In the case of team competitions the winning team will be allocated 500 points.
• Allocation of points for participants of recommended competitions
Depending on the results 1st place 50 points, 2nd place 30 points, 3rd place 15 points, 4th place 10 points will be allocated.
2 points each will be deducted for placing lower than 5th place (The relay which will be the final contest will be awarding 3 times the points)
• The impact of the outcome of Red Team vs. White Team
From the totality of all the school years the losing team will have 100 points equally subtracted from their class points across all school years.
• The impact of separate ordering of school years
From the total count the class that takes 1st place will be awarded 50 class points.
From the total count the class that takes 2nd place will not have any change to their class points.
From the total count the class that takes 3rd place will have 50 class points subtracted.
From the total count the class that takes 4th place will have 100 class points subtracted.
"It's a simple matter, it means it's necessary to compete by going all out without letting your guard down. Because the penalty that the losing team incurs is by no means a light one".
"Umm, sensei. How many points does the winning team get? There seems to be no mention of that".
In response to that simple questioning from Hirata, Chabashira-sensei utters a single, cruel word.
"Nothing. Only that there will be no minus to their points".
"Ugh, are you serious? That doesn't sound good at all".
"Remember the class-specific points have also been properly calculated so keep that in mind too. Even if Class A leaps forward into action and the Red Team you lot belong to wins, in the case where the total count of Class D happens to be the lowest ranking, you will still be incurring a 100 point penalty".
• Individual Competition Rewards (May be used in the next midterm exam)
For students placing 1st in the individual competitions 5000 private points or the equivalent of 3 marks in a written exam will be awarded (in the case that the marks are chosen endowing another individual with them will not be permitted).
For students placing 2nd in the individual competitions 3000 private points or the equivalent of 2 marks in a written exam will be awarded (in the case that the marks are chosen endowing another individual with them will not be permitted).
For students placing 3rd in the individual competitions 1000 private points or the equivalent of 1 mark in a written exam will be awarded (in the case that the marks are chosen endowing another individual with them will not be permitted).
For students ranking the lowest in the individual competitions 1000 private points will be subtracted. (In the case that the points in the student's possession are lower than 1000 they will incur a loss of 1 mark in a written exam instead).
Regarding Foul Play
Remember to comply with the rules of each competition on top of perusing the rules. The violators will be treated in the same manner as disqualification.
Those acting with malicious intent may be withdrawn. The expropriation of points acquired by those individuals up until then will be considered as well.
• Best Performing Student Reward
For the student who receives the highest score across all competitions 100,000 private points will be awarded.
• Best Performing Student Reward For Individual Classes
For the 3 students of each school year who have received the highest scores across all competitions will receive 10,000 private points individually.
"S-Sensei! These privileges you get when you come in at 1st place and 2nd place! What do you mean you can receive marks for written exams with them!?".
Ike requests an explanation of the details from Chabashira-sensei at the front.
"It's exactly what you think it is, Ike. From the prizes you win at the sports festival, you can acquire marks you can use to supplement your written exams. In particular, you're bad at English and Mathematics, right? It means the marks you've acquired can be used in any way you like. For each mark you acquire it just means it'll be incredibly useful for your next test".
After hearing this everyone become very happy.
But obviously there's a twist.
• After completion of all competitions, within a school year a total count of all points will be conducted and the bottom 10 individuals will be penalized
"Sensei, what kind of penalty is this going to be?".
"For you 1st years the penalty imposed will be a score deduction on your next written exam. The bottom 10 students score-wise will be receiving a deduction of 10 marks so beware of that. As for how the deduction of scores will be applied, that will be explained as the next written exam draws near so I won't be taking any questions on that here. Again, the announcement of the bottom 10 will be conducted similarly and will be announced on the occasion of the explanation regarding the written exam".
"Eeeh seriously"
"The events that will be held during the sports festival and their details are all exactly as described on the printouts. There will be no changes at all to them".
• Universal Participation Events
100 meter dash
Hurdle race
Capture-the-flag (Boys Only)
Ball-toss game (Girls Only)
Tug of war divided by gender
Obstacle course race
Three-legged race
Cavalry battle
200 meter dash
• Recommended Only Participation Events
Scavenger hunt
Omnidirectional tug of war
Mixed gender three-legged race
3 school years mixed 1200 meter relay
On the participation table the details of all events are described. You lot will be using this participation table to decide amongst yourselves in which order you will be participating and record it down and an outsider, that is me, will submit it for you. Since I believe no middle school has adopted a system like this, I'd like you to be careful so as to not make a mistake".
"To decide what order on our own, how far can we decide......?".
A question from Hirata that is an obvious one. Since it was obvious, the response from Chabashira-sensei was also quick.
"Everything. All the competitions that will be held on the day of the sports festival, up to who runs in which group, all of it will be decided by you lot through discussion. After the deadline for decisions, no matter what the reason, any further changes will not be permitted. That is the vital rule of the sports festival. The submission window will be between 1 week prior to the sports festival and 5 pm of the day before the festival. If you end up exceeding the submission time limit then in that case, you will be randomly allocated so be cautious".
After a few question answers here and there. Sensei finally answered all of the questions from horikita and hirata
"There is still 20 minutes of study time remaining, you are free to use that remaining time as you wish. You're free to either chat away or have a serious discussion".
"Sorry I gotta go now I have some things to do"
I left the class
I already know how things will proceed there so there is no need for me to listen to them
Let's eat the lunch
I went to the cafeteria to sit but it was already full and I didn't wanted to go to palate
"Let's find a place outside school"
After searching for a while I found an empty bench near the garden
"Let's just sit here for now"
As I was about to open my lunch I saw someone lying in the grass
What the-
I approached the person it was girl with long silver hair
"H-Hey are you okay?"
"Ood"
"Huh?"
"Food... Give me food..."
"...Eh"
She fainted here because she didn't eat anything...
I took my bento and gave it to her
Ugh whatever I will eat something from the cafe
"Here you can have it"
I gave her my bento
After taking some of the food she gained her composure.
"I will be going then you can enjoy your meal"
"Wait"
"Yeah?"
"Name?"
"Huh?"
"what is your name?"
"Oh its kai yoshida well then see you later"
I sprint off from there because I didn't wanted to get involved in something useless.
I bought some snacks from the cafe and filled my tummy
After that I directly went to my dorm.
I messaged horikita that I won't be able to join any practice for today.
For some reason my body was way too exhausted than usual
I went directly to my bed
"Now that I think about it that girl looked familiar. I wonder where I saw her before"
"well let's just sleep for now"
Generating quest...
