"The first event is the 100-meter sprint."
"Eh—"
"No complaining! This is a mandatory event for the college entrance examination physical test!"
James held two stopwatches in his hands and handed them to the sports representatives of the two classes.
"Instructor, can you..."
"No going easy!"
"I will supervise you closely here!"
"Don't think you can fool the eyes of a professional athlete!"
James immediately saw that someone on the scene wanted to slack off and immediately issued a stern warning.
Everyone was helpless and could only obey.
F Class Group 1: Hayato Hayama + a random person
As expected, Hayato was far ahead and achieved an excellent score of 9.98 seconds.
"Hayama, are you interested in joining the provincial sprint training camp?"
James immediately saw that the other party was a good prospect and indeed extended an invitation.
"Sorry, James-sensei."
"My interest is football. If it were the national football training camp..."
Hayato politely declined the invitation.
"National football?"
"Young man, don't waste your life for nothing!"
James patted his shoulder with heartfelt advice.
Group 2: Miura Yumiko + Yuigahama Yui + Ebina Hina + Kawasaki Saki
"Yumiko, so fast...!"
"Kawasaki is also!"
Yui ran out of breath, unable to help but be dragged down by Da Lei, barely scraping by the passing line.
"Although I won, it feels like I lost again."
Although Ebina ran in 13 seconds, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She sneakily attacked from behind and fiercely kneaded the other party's burden.
"Miura Yumiko, 11.28 seconds!"
"Kawasaki Saki, 11.28 seconds!"
"How is that possible? Are you sure you didn't make a mistake? I was clearly half a body length faster than her!"
"There's something wrong with your eyes, I was faster than you!"
The two girls, who had always been at odds, glared at each other.
Both were the girls with the best physical fitness in F Class and often competed with each other.
"Rikka 11.11 seconds!!"
"Megumi, 11.30 seconds!"
"Rukia, 11.30 seconds!"
"Holy crap, how is this possible?!"
The scores of the three girls shocked everyone.
"Rikka, didn't we agree to keep a low profile?" Rukia said speechlessly.
"I've already tried my best to suppress my power, but I didn't expect to underestimate the power of the Evil King's True Eye!" Rikka stood with her hands on her hips and nodded seriously.
"The corners of your mouth are turned up, Rikka." Megumi saw through her little trick.
"Tenya, 9.88 seconds... Hiss!"
"Is that real? Is there something wrong with this stopwatch!" Everyone exclaimed again.
"Ah? Just a step away..."
Hayato looked greatly disheartened.
James said, "Tenya? The transfer student?"
"I see that you have amazing potential very suitable for the national team!"
You know, the world record for the 100-meter sprint is only 9.58 seconds!
Tenya is still young and with regular training, he has a chance to break the world record within ten years.
"Thanks for the invitation, but I'm not interested in sports." Tenya refused.
This physical test was like child's play to him, completely meaningless.
If he were to run all out, he would have just teleported on the spot.
He ran this score just to barely surpass Hayato.
No other reason, purely because he didn't like the latter.
"Tenya, don't waste your talent!"
James was excited. As a retired athlete, he also wanted to train a world champion for the country!
However, just then, another exclamation came from Class A!
"Shimada Hideo 9.45 seconds... Ah?"
"How, how is this possible?!"
"Is that real or fake? This must have broken the world record!"
They saw a tall, thin boy with a delicate face who looked nothing like someone good at sports.
"Is there something wrong with the stopwatch?"
James' attention was diverted, but since he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he didn't believe the result.
Simply because 9.45 seconds was too exaggerated!
It broke the existing world record, making it sound unbelievable.
"Hey, Tenya, that guy..." Rukia's expression turned serious.
"Yes, I know."
"I didn't expect him to be so bold, openly using his power."
Tenya glanced calmly at the boy named Shimada Hideo in Class A. The latter seemed to sense it and looked over at him.
Spiritual Sense.
He had long sensed the strange presence of the other party.
But since the other party wasn't causing trouble, he hadn't planned to pay attention.
"Is that person really associated with the supernatural?"
"He looks just like a normal human!"
Rikka lifted her eye patch, revealing her Evil King's True Eye to observe carefully.
On the surface, there was absolutely nothing abnormal to be seen.
"It has just completely taken over a human body." Tenya saw through the other party's true form at a glance.
Its true form was a strange monster similar to a Nekomata!
"Completely taken over a human?"
"This is very dangerous!"
Megumi's heart tightened.
"Hey, Shimada, right?"
"Can you run it again?"
James didn't believe it and took the stopwatch to test it himself.
"Okay, Teacher."
Hideo shot out like an arrow, his speed astonishingly fast.
"9.99 seconds... Phew~"
"So the stopwatch was wrong. I thought I had seen a world champion!"
Everyone felt relieved.
Although this score was also impressive, there was still a significant gap compared to a world champion.
"You kid... You held back, didn't you?"
James was indeed a professional athlete. He saw the clue from the other party's slightly uncoordinated movements.
"No, I did my best." Hideo revealed a strange smile.
"Boring."
"Wanting to integrate into human society, but unwilling to be ordinary." Tenya scoffed at this.
"Yukino 9.95 seconds!"
"So amazing!"
"Didn't Yukinoshita-san have poor stamina? How can she run so fast!" Everyone exclaimed repeatedly.
"Yes, just a stroke of luck."
Yukino had already held back. If she were to run all out, she would only need three seconds for a 100-meter sprint.
"Student Sawamura, your shoelace is untied.... Be careful!"
Eriri, due to not wearing contact lenses, was highly nearsighted and didn't see that her shoelace had come undone.
While running, she accidentally stepped on her shoelace and, due to inertia, her whole body fell forward.
Facing the sudden accident, almost everyone didn't have time to react.
Except for Yukino, who was quick to react physically. She rushed over in the first moment and caught the falling Eriri with both hands.
"Yukinoshita-san? Thank you... Ah?!"
Eriri had already prepared herself to fall flat, not expecting to be saved.
Just as she was about to thank her, she suddenly noticed a hideous face suddenly appearing behind Yukino.
