Chapter 468: Chapter 318 Starting Off_3
Compared to him, Dan Kaiquan was practically unheard of.
Guo Kunnan believed that for a girl like Bai Yuxia, her standards must be incredibly high, so Kaiquan was in danger!
Dan Kaiquan was silent for half a minute before he suddenly said, "Brother Nan, have you ever fought as if your life depended on it?"
"Fought to the death..." Guo Kunnan thought for a moment, "No."
Dan Kaiquan gripped his number tag tightly, determination written across his face, "Even if it costs me my life today, I have to win first place."
All his efforts were to prove himself worthy of Bai Yuxia.
Guo Kunnan opened his mouth to tell him, ’It’s going to be tough.’
But he didn’t say it, unable to bear shattering Dan Kaiquan’s illusion.
Zhang Chi came over with his number tag, "Guys, have you heard? The prize for first place in the 100 meters is 1,000 yuan."
Guo Kunnan was surprised, "That much?"
Zhang Chi said, "Yes, 1,000 for the champion, 500 for the runner-up."
"Both of you also signed up for the 100 meters, right? Which heats?"
Guo Kunnan said, "Kaiquan’s in the third heat, I’m in the fourth."
Zhang Chi, "We’re in the same heat, I’m in the fourth too."
The first round was starting with the first-year students; classmates could be drawn into the same heat.
Guo Kunnan said, "That’s quite the coincidence, take it easy on the feet then!"
Zhang Chi shook his head, "I can’t this time, I have to go all out."
Guo Kunnan gave a dry laugh, looking up towards the field, "The race is about to start, Jiang Ning is in the first heat."
The school’s loudspeaker broadcast the announcer’s clear and resonant voice:
"To the 100-meter sprint athletes, your tall and upright figures stand on the sports field, you face the scorching sun overhead and shed your sweat on the track, it’s in your unwavering gaze on the track..."
Geng Lu tiptoed, peering through the crowd towards Jiang Ning, she was one of the many students doing the same.
The 100-meter track on three sides was packed densely with students, all eyes focused on the eight who were about to sprint.
"Shi Qianjin, you better move it!" Shen Xu shouted for him, the cheerleading team of Class 9 was ready.
"Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning!" Chen Siyu and Chen Siqing were sweating from the sun, clenching their fists to cheer for him!
What middle school students cared about most was class honor; female classmates of competitors spared no effort to motivate them and without a shortage of pretty girls.
Many male students, in their long academic careers, probably only had this moment to bravely lift their heads and accept the enthusiasm of the girls they secretly admired.
Xu Yan from Class 11, led her female classmates in cheering for Luo Jun who was competing in the race!
The girls on the field were making a din that could give someone a headache.
"Go Wei Xiu Yuan, you can do it!" Dong Jiayi jumped up.
Wei Xiu Yuan, on the field, felt his heart surge with passion, his blood boiling over and instantly gaining 99 points.
He adjusted to the standard starting stance; this technique would allow him to accelerate instantly, giving him a significant advantage!
Among the eight at the starting line, seven athletes like him gave it their all, fighting for their loved ones or for the glory of their class!
There was only one person, he didn’t adjust his position, just stood there hands in pockets, looking utterly composed.
’The start of the race is a bit slow, huh,’ Jiang Ning thought standing like this was pretty silly.
He ignored the strange looks from those around him.
Jiang Ning, from his height, looked down upon the other seven competitors; they were so serious.
Xue Yuantong leaned back in her chair on the podium, the sunshade blocked the intense sunlight, she scooped up some ice cream with her spoon:
"Mr. Guo, do we still have self-study tonight?"
Guo Ran was watching Jiang Ning, seeing him with his carefree demeanor made her laugh; when it came to putting on an act, her student indeed had some skills.
"There’s no self-study for first-year students, but second and third years have it," Guo Ran said.
Xue Yuantong was pleased to hear that.
Different from their relaxed atmosphere, the mood on the field was becoming increasingly tense.
Even the classmates who were mere spectators had their hearts in their throats.
Not to mention the contestants, Wei Xiu Yuan and the others were about to burst with adrenaline!
At that moment, Pang Jiao and Li Shengnan pushed through the crowd and shouted at the top of their lungs, "Luo Jun, Luo Jun, I love you!"
Their voices thundered through the air.
After saying that, Li Shengnan’s face flushed with a bashful look, as if to imply, if you run first, I’ll grant you a wish.
Luo Jun stiffened up.
"Bang!" The starting gun fired!
The race officially began!
Wei Xiu Yuan burst out from the start, Shi Qianjin also shot out, and in an instant, the eight figures launched towards the finish line.
However, Luo Jun, shaken by the cheer, failed his start.
He didn’t coordinate his limbs well, faltered at the start, and using both hands and feet, scurried forward in a panic for a dozen meters in front of everyone.
Wang Longlong exclaimed, "Damn, running like a four-legged snake!"
