"When I take leave, the teacher isn’t happy, but when the teacher takes leave, I’m delighted. Maybe that’s what we call perspective."
On Wednesday, the geography teacher had to attend to sothing and didn’t co to class. After a delightful self-study session, as the bell rang, Bai Bufan said with a smug look.
"Indeed, when the teacher is late, we never make him stand as punishnt. Clear distinction," Lin Li nodded in agreent:
"Whoever said our generation is the lost generation? Judging by this, we are the most promising generation! So kind-hearted."
Bai Bufan couldn’t match Lin Li’s shalessness and couldn’t continue the conversation.
If everyone in this generation were like him and Lin Li, even the Great Qing’s revival would be hopeful.
The next period was P.E. class, and the two headed to the playground together.
When they gathered at the designated spot at the sound of the preparatory bell, Wang Ze ca over with the P.E. teacher.
After Wang Ze returned to the group, You Jun, the P.E. teacher, tapped his backside with the attendance register in his hand and then said to everyone:
"Wang Ze has already discussed with . Since the sports et is approaching, using the P.E. class ti to train is quite necessary. At his suggestion, I’ll only take up the first ten minutes of this class. The rest of the ti, it’s up to you."
"Yay!" Everyone cheered excitedly upon hearing this.
"Wang Ze is aweso."
"Truly worthy of being a sports student!"
Nowadays in P.E. class, there are trics to et. Generally, if half the period is free activity ti, it’s considered a lot. Sotis there’s none at all.
Being the hero of the mont, Wang Ze wore a rather forced smile, hiding his accomplishnts and na.
"Boys will test for 1000 ters, girls for 800 ters, and then it’s free activities," You Jun continued.
"Wang Ze is awes—huh?"
The cheers died down, leaving only a deathly quiet.
Three seconds later, Wang Ze could feel countless resentful glances behind him.
But he was powerless.
Just when he was coming over with You Jun, he had miserably asked, "Old You, if you dump this on , what about my parents?"
However, facing such a question, You Jun rely patted Wang Ze on the shoulder:
"On the road to growth, you always have to lose sothing. Those who aren’t willing to let go of anything can’t change anything."
"Old You, why not use yours?"
"My parents are still useful."
"Damn."
As for the coach and P.E. teacher who could double his training load anyti, Wang Ze could only smile and endure.
The wails of the crowd could not change You Jun’s decision. He said loudly:
"Wang Ze leads the way, let’s start with a slow lap to warm up, then boys stop at the starting line, girls stop at the 200-ter line.
After all the boys finish 200 ters, Wenjing, you give the ’run’ command to the girls and signal to . I won’t co over, I’ll ti you at the finish line instead."
"Okay," Xie Wenjing nodded.
...
Start the slow run.
"Wang Ze, don’t start running just yet; I have sothing to ask you," Lin Li shouted from behind.
"No chance, buddy, no chance," Zhang Haoyang answered for Wang Ze.
"I need to poop."
anwhile, Bai Bufan beside him was visibly starting to get nervous.
One already feels like pooping before a physical test.
This ti, the test was too sudden, and Bai Bufan hadn’t emptied the load that morning.
"I feel it’s about to co out," he said with a strained voice.
"Poop, poop," hearing this, Lin Li shouted towards Bai Bufan’s butt.
Bai Bufan: "?"
"You idiot, that’s not the kind of ’about to co out’ I ant! If it really cos out, you’re screwed!"
"Bao Wei didn’t bring his backpack out, so I can’t give you his glasses case," Lin Li shrugged, indicating he was helpless too.
No way to waste a "Poop Suppression Talisman" on him; it’s like feeding 50 system currency to a dog.
"Damn it! Why is this so sudden!!" Bai Bufan kept wailing.
Lin Li ignored it and reached out, "Bufan, lend your watch."
"What are you planning to do with my watch?" Instantly stopping his wailing, Bai Bufan was very wary.
"I’ll use it to check the pace for each lap; I’m planning to run 3000 ters straight," Lin Li explained.
Even though running 3000 ters might not result in as good a ti as just running 1000 ters, Lin Li didn’t care about that. What mattered was finishing the test; after all, this wasn’t like the college entrance exam where it counted towards grades.
Even if he ran it in his usual four and a half minutes, there would be no penalty.
"Damn, are you crazy? Alright then, just be gentle with my watch." Bai Bufan was shocked but handed over his watch to Lin Li since he was serious.
He was planning to take it off anyway.
Poor students often have more stationery, and those not good at sports often believe having a watch on their wrist is extra weight, making running more of a tornt.
"A young fellow who’s teachable; may the wind be at your back for the entire run later."
"Thanks for the encouragent."
Lin Li accelerated to the front of the group, telling Wang Ze about his plan.
Wang Ze nodded upon hearing, "Sure, I don’t mind. We sports students automatically get excellent marks in physical tests."
"Dirty PY deal."
...
"Do so stretching if needed. Alright, everyone get on the track," You Jun signaled the boys at the starting line after both boys and girls were ready.
Usually, this was when Lin Li would be anxiously squeezing into the innermost lane, always feeling that spot was the best for starting.
But the confident Lin Li of now wouldn’t have such anxieties, so he confidently squeezed into the innermost lane.
Squeezing is good for your health.
"Run!" You Jun pressed the tir.
The crowd flowed out like a stream, with Wang Ze leading the charge, followed naturally by others good at sports.
Lin Li wasn’t in a hurry at all, running right behind Bai Bufan.
But after rely five seconds, he already felt this guy was too slow.
"On your left," Lin Li raised an eyebrow back at Bai Bufan as he overtook him.
Bai Bufan: "?"
Watching Lin Li speed away, Bai Bufan’s eyes widened.
This guy pretends to be Captain Arica... is he planning to keep himself in his own circle?
Lin Li started as a happy superhero.
Zhang Haoyang, overtaken! Zhou Baowei, overtaken! Qin Zeyu, overtaken!
Wang Yuezhi... that’s not possible, once a son, always a son. Father-daughter drama is forbidden.
Almost effortlessly, Lin Li quickly followed behind Wang Ze, becoming the second among the boys.
The Body Refining Eighth Rank Technique, terrifying indeed.
"Lin Li, keep it up~"
At the 200-ter mark, among the waiting girls on the side, Chen Yu Ying looked at Lin Li’s ranking with so surprise in her eyes, but was not stingy with her praise.
"Alright, you keep it up too." Lin Li waved with a smile.
"Damn, Lin Li, you’re behind ?" Wang Ze turned his head upon hearing the voice, surprised to find the footsteps behind him had always been Lin Li’s?
"Wang Ze, your butt is really tempting." Lin Li dodged the question.
Wang Ze raised his middle finger, then slightly increased his speed.
Lin Li followed closely.
At the last 200 ters of the thousand ters, several boys good at sports, like Qin Zeyu and Chen Tianming, had already overtaken the two of them.
After all, everyone had different goals; there were still more than two kiloters to run. It wasn’t possible to sprint at this point.
"Fourth, fifth."
During the physical test, the results are not scored, just ranked.
Lin Li then checked his watch himself; the first thousand ters took three minutes and forty seconds.
To be honest, this was the fastest thousand ters Lin Li had ever run in his life.
Fifteen hundred ters, five minutes and forty seconds.
The record for the 1500 ters at the Nansang high school sports et is 4 minutes and 33 seconds, not a very high record.
Two thousand ters, seven minutes and thirty seconds.
Three thousand ters, eleven minutes and twenty-eight seconds.
"Damn ha——ha——Lin Li ha——you mother ha——" After finishing three thousand ters, Wang Ze took a few steps forward, rested his hands on his knees, turned to look at Lin Li behind him, and panted heavily, "Really kept up ha——la?"
Even in the end, when Wang Ze started sprinting, he couldn’t shake off Lin Li.
"As long as you have legs." Lin Li, also panting, gave an OK sign.
This ti, it truly wasn’t an act.
In fact, Lin Li’s panting now was deliberately exaggerated.
The feeling of having no iron taste in his throat at the end of a long run was sothing Lin Li experienced for the first ti.
If Lin Li hadn’t intended to surpass Wang Ze from beginning to end, he could have overtaken him after the 1500 ters.
11.28.33, the watch froze on this ti.
This speed wasn’t slow, averaging less than four minutes per kiloter. Lin Li, in the past, couldn’t run a thousand ters in under four minutes.
A university student’s physical test for three thousand ters in twelve minutes is full marks. In the first-grade segnt, if there are no sports students involved in this project, this result is very likely to be first, and lead greatly from second place.
As for the school sports et record for the n’s three thousand ters, it’s ten minutes and thirty-two seconds. There’s still a huge gap.
But that’s normal, hasty warm-ups, hasty attire. Wang Ze surely wasn’t treating this as a competition. If he could approach the school record, that’d be shocking.
Lin Li was quietly happy that Nansang wasn’t a sports-focused school.
Moreover, the school sports et records were relatively low, definitely not the limit for those sports students. It has to do with the level of the participants and how seriously they took it.
In the publicly announced athletics records of Nansang Middle School, there are also records of different grade students who’ve created better records at city and provincial-level student sports gas, all much more exaggerated than school sports et records. So even reached first-class athlete standards at grade one, perhaps impossible to replicate, as if entering a Zone state.
The reason that heavy rain could ruin soone’s sports dream is because the environnt really matters.
Lin Li was in no hurry; speaking of which, he hadn’t even tried his best. In tasks from Beauty Lady, there’s a task to strengthen lower body muscle strength, isn’t there?
The lower body must cover the other two legs, and this kind of direct intensity buff should markedly enhance his running speed.
The core goal is first place, the secondary goal is to break records.
"No, Lin Li, how have you been training this sester? I’m really curious, could you teach ?" After catching his breath a bit, Wang Ze sincerely inquired, "You Jun really needs to learn from you."
"My thod is quite lively, donating once at the hospital nets at least three thousand, can You Jun afford it?" Lin Li retorted.
Wang Ze: "?"
Which thod are you talking about?
"The thod from Journey to the West, not the thod of licking and sucking!"
"Oh, sorry, a misunderstanding."
"You better have misunderstood. So, tell , how did you train?" Wang Ze was genuinely curious.
Lin Li went from being one of the last in the sports class to keeping up with him in three thousand ters in just a month?
Though he’s not a long-distance specialist, this doesn’t add up, does it?
Also, why is this guy looking in better shape than ?
Wang Ze was now full of questions.
"Do 100 sit-ups every day, 100 push-ups, 100 squats, and run 10 kiloters, rain or shine, for three years straight. Go on, train, this is my greatest treasure, all handed to you."
Lin Li didn’t hold back, sharing his secret with Wang Ze.
"Are you a One-Punch Man too?" Wang Ze saw right through it and gave a thumbs up: "Normal people train like Saitama, keeping their knees and ankles healthy, is this way."
"Well, maybe I was born with the sacred body of a sports student?"
"Alright, then Lin Li, you just enter these two events. I feel with more training, you’ll be secure for first place. If there are no experts, eleven minutes and a half is already enough for first."
"Tsk, let see if I can recruit another strong man, so I can leave this out, run my specialty event, and grab another first."
Wang Ze pinched his chin, thinking.
"What about the relay, do we need soone to run the 100-ter now?" Lin Li hadn’t forgotten about it.
"Alright... eh? You’re recovered? Running now?" Wang Ze widened his eyes.
"Walk to the 100-ter starting line and you’ll be more or less ready, it’s just a 100-ter run." Lin Li nodded.
Wang Ze: "?"
"Recovered so quickly? Did you take so drugs?"
"I’m fully recovered too, Wang Ze, you’re truly not up to it." At this mont, Bai Bufan got up from the grass and walked over, looking down on Wang Ze, who hadn’t caught his breath.
Wang Ze: "..."
This prick Bai Bufan is truly shaless.
This guy ran only a thousand ters, rested for nearly ten minutes, still looking dead, yet ca to mock him.
"When are you ( ) going to ( )?" Wang Ze from the top lane of Nansang said such.
