Exercise is very physically exhausting.

When the physical strength is almost exhausted, the steps are getting heavier and the legs are not strong, huge pain fills the body, and the thoughts of stopping are constantly emerging in the mind.

...Stop.

That's fine... so tired, stop...

Whether you are yourself or star, you may not be a genius who can understand it at a glance. The movements are clumsy, the jumps are not beautiful, and every attempt ends in failure.

How many times have you jumped?

Tsunaya Sawada fell into the sponge pad with a "pop", and felt that the crossbar was pressed under the legs again. When it fell on the mat, the flesh and flesh began to hurt, and the face and body were hot in the sun.

The blood flow and the heart sounded so loudly.

At the beginning, he could faintly hear everyone's fingers and laughter... but the failure of this kind of failure that could not see hope continued once, twice, ten times... dozens of times, he seemed to have no idea about those things.

The world has become very quiet.

Tsunayoshi Sawada could only see the girl running, and could only hear her call.

"A Gang, I'm going to get on--"

good.

He got up from the mat, walked aside in a daze, and looked at the running girl.

Her hair tied up was a little messy, her cheeks were flushed with fatigue, her head was covered with sweat, and her brows were tightly furrowed.

It looks a bit painful.

...It must be very tired, too.

The steps became so heavy that it was difficult for the arms to swing.

Star, like himself, does not have amazing talent. But... there is one thing that is not inferior to those dazzling talents...

That is—

In the most painful moment, I want to give up, the steps taken.*

"Pa", the sneakers stepped on the ground, and the black hair was raised, passing by him.

Suddenly, Tsunayoshi Sawada seemed to hear... Someone said, "Come on, Sakurai-Sawada-"

Is it an illusion...

Tsunayoshi Sawada thought slowly, but saw the girl look over quickly and smile.

Eh...?

He turned his head after realizing it.

Not far away, all the classmates who were once looked at by them were looking at this place.

‘Stronger people will be chased by everyone with amazing eyes…’

This sentence suddenly came to my mind.

The heart suddenly contracted.

Maybe... I have become the person I am chasing when I don't know.

...

Sakurai Sei launched a sprint without any distractions, jumping—

Already familiar with weightlessness.

The body ascended to its peak and then fell...

"Pu" and the crossbar fell down. She fell on the cushion, and was hurt a little by the pole under her legs.

Failed again.

I don’t know why, but I was already used to it, but when I saw the girl fall into the mat like a moth to the fire, she could no longer laugh easily.

She struggled to get up and staggered.

"star!"

Tsunayoshi Sawada almost instantly realized something was wrong, so he rushed over in two or three steps and held her in one hand.

"Is it okay? Is there any pain?" He said, looking up and down, and soon found that her ankles were swollen and she immediately took a breath of air conditioning: "Swelling, it's swollen-! Sit down quickly!!"

"Ah...it doesn't hurt."

Although the red and swollen ankles look a bit scary, there is actually no pain... it is more like some warning from the system.

Sakurai Star Poke opens the attribute panel.

[Energy:9]

The energy that dropped below 10 was shining with blood, and her status bar was also followed by a debuff [too tired to move].

Sure enough, I accidentally spent all my energy... After the character enters a state of fatigue, this negative state will be automatically refreshed to force the player to rest...?

It's similar to the automatic fainting at 2 a.m.

Sakurai lifted up his body and took a look at the remaining class time. The get out of class was over in 5 minutes - it would be too unprofitable to drink energy drinks at this time, after all, lunch will automatically restore energy.

She silently turned her gaze to Tsunayoshi Sawada.

A green inverted triangle icon was placed on the head of the brown-haired boy - this is the logo of the teammates in the team.

[Teammate: Tsunayoshi Sawada

Status: Teaming (Experience Sharing)

...

Sports: 69(?)

...]

Very good. Although she couldn't move, the team had not yet disbanded!

The player gave Tsunayoshi Sawada without changing his face: "Hurry, Ah Gang, it's your turn to jump!"

Let's do it again and help her increase her experience!

Tsunayoshi Sawada looked a little broken: "It's this time, do you still want to jump? Your feet are swollen!!"

"But Ah Gang's feet are not swollen." Sakurai Xing said the devil's words with an innocent look on his face: "Don't delay the time, Ah Gang. get out of class is about to end. We can pack up our equipment and have a meal after the jump."

Tsunayoshi Sawada: "No...so it's okay if I don't dance and get off get out of class just by myself?"

stare…………

Sakurai: "...Isn't you really not jump?"

Tsunayoshi Sawada: "…"

Sakurai: "Really?"

Tsunayoshi Sawada: “…jump.”

There is no way to refuse -!!

"Star is just cheating..."

He sighed and complained in a low voice. But looking at the girl's swollen ankles and her unwillingness to let go until now... For some reason, he gently pulled his heart.

"…I got it. I will jump."

It's just a high jump.

I have practiced a whole class after all, and I have done a few dozen times together, but it’s just the last time I do it again...

The sun's rays set almost vertically, illuminating the shadow of a person into a small ball.

After high-intensity exercise, blood flows to the limbs and heart, and blood supply to the stomach decreases... I usually feel so hungry that my stomach is so hungry that I am very calm at this moment, almost making him think—

His condition is - very good.

Tsunayoshi Sawada walked back to the running line, staring at the high jump bar, as he practiced before - start, accelerate, accelerate, take off, and then lose -

Eh...?

The body... crossed the bar.

Until his body fell on the cushion, there was no sound of the crossbar falling down. Tsunyoshi Sawada was stunned, looking at the dazzling sky above his head, his mind was blank.

What happened just now...?

A burst of exclamation broke out not far away.

After a while, he recovered and heard the excited voices from his classmates: "It's successful!!!"

"Okay - well done Agang--!!"

"Very good--!!!"

Before he could react, a shadow blocked the dazzling sunshine.
