"Those iron lumps look pretty heavy."

Watching the bulging veins on the arms of the upright frog carrying the vaulting horse, Wu Guinan sighed.

"Muscle Frog, Teacher Chen's fourth summoned beast."

"But its level isn't actually very high, about 1st transition, level 10."

"Hehehe."

He Hehe chimed in with the introduction.

In general classes, Teacher Chen would assign students or their summoned beasts to move the equipment.

Sending out the Muscle Frog implies that these vaulting horses aren't something their summoned beasts could handle.

"..."

Li Pu didn't comment, instead, he walked onto the track.

Conveniently, there was a vaulting horse not far away, so he reached out and gave it a push.

He found that he could still push it (?), so it didn't seem that heavy after all.

[Students, please send a representative to draw lots]

[Decide the session and track]

After all the vaulting horses were in place, Teacher Chen's voice sounded again.

The representative from Li Pu's side was He Hehe.

Whether her luck was good or bad was unclear, as she drew the track for the first session.

"Let's sort out the order, hehe."

Upon returning, she made the suggestion.

This relay race rule had everyone required to run a circuit, to her, it didn't matter much whether to run first or last.

Anyway, in her eyes, the three of them were just a team of slackers, one injured and two useless.

"I'll go first and clear the obstacles for you."

Li Pu stood up immediately.

This comment went over He Hehe's head, but Wu Guinan had a big reaction.

"No, no, no, I'll go first, I'll go first."

He hurriedly objected.

No matter what that limper's intentions were, for insurance, he needed to go first, otherwise, he'd miss his chance to shine.

He had painstakingly practiced sprinting for a month in secret, just to show off today; how could it be preempted by this guy?

"What's there to argue about, hehe."

He Hehe couldn't understand, indicating they could do whatever they wanted.

So the final order was Wu Guinan → Li Pu → He Hehe.

On the temporary bleachers at the other end, Teacher Chen and Jiang Guiju were sitting on the top step.

This scene makes me feel like I'm back in first grade."

Looking at the iron horses on the track, Jiang Guiju reminisced.

Back then, she experienced the sprinting monthly exam four times in the first semester, never drawing long jump or rugby, but there was a relay obstacle race.

"I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it, I heard you had a time in the top twenty in school history then."

Teacher Chen chuckled, covering her mouth slightly.

Jiang Guiju landed the teaching assistant position for sprinting not just by constantly pestering Li Fan.

"Thinking back to that time, it indeed wasn't easy."

Jiang Guiju still remembered nearly vommitting from running that day.

Though the monthly exam projects seemed casual, they actually hold hidden meanings.

Like the run-up long jump, it tests if you can manage long-distance jumps under sprinting, which can be hugely useful for moving or escaping.

The rugby project tests the body confrontation one may encounter under sprint conditions.

It emphasizes how one can proceed smoothly toward a goal while being disturbed.

Catching and passing also vice versa examines the methods of receiving and passing at high speed, which might be useful later.

As for the obstacle run, it's direct.

It tests the smoothness in running in an obstructed environment.

"Speaking of which, how are those two students' progress in your class?"

"I tried asking Teacher Li Fan, but he kept his lips sealed."

Teacher Chen is pretty curious about Li Pu and Wu Guinan.

"..."

Hearing this, Jiang Guiju could only force a smile.

Li Fan's not keeping secrets; he just doesn't know the situation.

Since the two students learned to start sprinting, he's just been doing nothing.

All subsequent classes were handled by Jiang Guiju; Li Fan never checked in.

"Teacher Chen, please watch and see."

Seeing Wu Guinan standing at the starting line, Jiang Guiju chose not to speak directly.

Regarding the progress of these two, she's actually the one who knows best.

Li Fan once said if Li Pu and Wu Guinan couldn't get the first or second total monthly exam scores, they'd be penalized.

She thinks Li Pu probably won't have much problem, and Wu Guinan isn't without a chance either.

[Ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit!]

On the side of the track, the Muscle Frog with the signal gun started the countdown.

As this was the first monthly exam, everyone was still deepening their grasp on sprinting and needed some time to activate it, so more time was given for the start preparation.

[Ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit!]

[Ribbit ribbit ribbit!]

When the Muscle Frog counted to three, the students on the track bent down and silently started initiating sprinting.

Only Wu Guinan stood there with his usual expression.

Just then, meanwhile, one student suddenly had a faint, bouncing shadow arising on them.

This shadow is a sign of fully initiating sprinting; everyone will have it.

"This kid's bad at timing, started too early."

On seeing this, Teacher Chen's brows furrowed slightly.

She actually had high hopes for this student, one of the top levels in her class.

But now catching the wrong timing for activating sprinting would undoubtedly affect the results.

(But what is with Li Fan's student, why isn't he preparing to start?)

Following that, Teacher Chen glanced at Wu Guinan.

Each teacher has their teaching characteristics, presenting slight differences in teaching styles.

To make it easier for students to grasp sprinting, some teachers create a basic starting move to help.

Jiang Guiju had also learned similar moves.

[Ribbit ribbit!]

[Ribbit!]

Bang!

Just as the Muscle Frog pulled the trigger of the signal gun, Teacher Chen finally saw the answer.

Swish!

A subtle shadow flickered over Wu Guinan, then he shot out at high speed.

"Instant start?"

Teacher Chen was slightly startled on seeing this.

To achieve the proficiency level of an instant start, it usually takes about three weeks after learning sprinting, often the result of hard practice plus talent—it's something not everyone can do.

The key point was that Wu Guinan's speed was noticeably ahead of the other lanes.

To note, this first session also had a top student from Teacher Chen's class.

Slightly in awe, she glanced at Jiang Guiju.

This young girl had hidden depths.

"Don't be surprised, Teacher Chen, the other one is even more impressive."

Jiang Guiju read her gaze and just chuckled.

If Wu Guinan heard this, he might well be so agitated he'd run into the iron hurdles.

I've finally stepped into the spotlight once, can't I be praised a little instead of bringing up that guy!
