“Hah…hah… Man, I ran my heart out, and I still only got sixth place! H-has Ken not gone up yet? Puh…” Ike breathed heavily as he fell to his knees. He was probably terrified of Sudou’s wrath. “You don’t think he’d get, like, fourth place or something, do you?”

I understood Ike’s concern. If Sudou didn’t win his own race, he’d surely take that out on the rest of the group.

“What place did you get, Ayanokouji?” Ike demanded. “Will you get Sudou’s death penalty?”

“Just barely managed third place,” I answered.

“Ugh, no way. Seriously? Man, talk about being saved by the lineup,” said Ike.

Well, it seemed like invoking Sudou’s ire would be a hassle. That was why I decided to put in a little effort.

“Looks like Sudou-kun is going up against Shibata-kun.”

“Uh, yeah.”

Shibata was doing light warm-up exercises as he waited for his race to start. Sudou had a formidable opponent.

“Huh?! Wait—the other guys Ken’s up against are Nomura and Suzuki! Dude, not fair!”

Ike looked genuinely frustrated upon seeing what a fortunate lineup Sudou had. The two Class C students in question were said to be especially unathletic. The two Class A students in the group weren’t really that good, either, so Sudou’s victory was pretty much guaranteed.

However, Shibata was different. He was rumored to be Class B’s fastest runner, and he was undoubtedly going to fight to reach first place. In the two competitions leading up to this, he had won first both times.

“Who do you think’s going to win?” I asked Hirata. He knew Shibata well.

“I don’t know, honestly. If it were a purely straightforward match, Shibata-kun might take first place, but Sudou-kun overcame all the obstacles without much difficulty during practice. I think it’s going to be an incredible race.”

Hirata wasn’t sure. Sudou thought that there was no possible way he could lose. Hopefully, his pride wouldn’t get in the way of his running. I put aside my worries as the race started.

Both Sudou and Shibata got off to a good start. They were neck and neck as they headed toward the first obstacle, the balance beam. Though Sudou was tall and large, he was able to cross the narrow balance beam faster than anyone else. He had incredible balance. Shibata was in second place. Despite the fact that he lagged slightly behind Sudou, he also managed to safely cross the beam.

After sprinting a short distance, they crawled through a net placed on the ground. Sudou advanced like some kind of wild beast. Shibata chased after him, looking as though he was having fun. The last obstacle was a sack race. Everyone jumped in their sacks and started hopping. Sudou managed to clear the race with dexterity that belied his large frame, but Shibata was closing the distance between them.

“This is the most intense match so far today,” said Hirata.

Sudou and Shibata seemed to be physically matched, so it looked as if they were trying to change up their strategies. Shibata kept a steady pace. Sudou started to rush for the first time.
