Swimming lessons.

Chu Yue and Zi Yuan walked into the pool with a smile, and immediately saw Maria swimming quickly in the pool......

"Maria, you've swam back and forth for more than a dozen times, come and take a break." A girl who looked like one of Maria's classmates shouted at Maria from the shore.

"Maria......" Mizuho said in surprise as she stepped out from behind.

"Shout up...... Maria worked so hard for the competition......" Shion said with some surprise.

"Guizi is also working hard......" Chu Yue immediately thought of Guizi.

"Huh?" Chu Yueyi reminded that Mizuho also remembered Guizi, "However, Guizi still has something to do with the student union...... Can you squeeze in time for training on your own......"

"Well, so that everyone will be more in the mood for the game." Chu Yue smiled and walked to the pool, "Hey! Maria! ”

"Huh?" Maria just swam back in a circle, her head emerged from the water, and when she saw Chu Yue, she was immediately surprised, "Chu Yue?!" You, you, you're really ......"

"So surprised?" Chu Yue interrupted Maria, "By the way, Maria, you train so hard, shouldn't it be for the competition?" "Changing the subject is definitely the right and effective way to do it at this time......

"That's right!" Maria was really deceived by Chu Yue into the topic of swimming competition.

"But it's not the two of you." Chu Yue said, "I, Mizusui, Shion, and others, everyone will participate." ”

"Hmph, I'm only targeting your son!" Mary's object is obvious......

"Uh...... I mean, you and Guizi-san, chances are, they've been brushed off before we compare each other......" Chu Yue said.

"How is that possible!" Maria said, "If that guy gets brushed down before the finals, then she's not qualified to fight me again!" ”

"......" Chu Yuehan, "I'm not worried about being finished before the finals at all......"

"However, I've heard that Takako-san, too, is working hard." Shion also said, "It seems that I used all my rest time and leisure time to practice......

"Huh?" Mizuho immediately became worried when she heard this, "If that's the case, it's not good for your health......"

"Well, Guizi-san, you should know it yourself." Chu Yue said, "If Mizuho is worried, just remind yourself." It just so happens that you and Takako-san will take elective classes together. ”

"Uh......" Mizuho looked at Maria, looked down and thought about it, but didn't speak.

Morning.

When Chu Yue and Zi Yuan were strolling around the school after class, they passed by the school swimming pool.

"Ah, it's Guizi-san." Chu Yue immediately noticed that in the pool, Guizi was swimming hard. And Junzhi stood on the shore and told Takako about her achievements every time.

"Really......" Shion also saw Guizi and Junzhi.

"It's really hard work......" Chu Yue couldn't help but smile.

"Hehe, isn't this all Chu Yue's attention?" Shion also said with a smile.

"Well, it's also for the good of these two people." Chu Yue said, "They usually seem to have some deep hatred. The swimming competition is actually just a swimming game. ”

"That's right." Zi Yuan said, "However, if Chu Yue participates, I'm afraid they may not all be able to reach the finals, right?" ”

"There are many solutions to this," Chu Yue replied, "For example, let them win." Or let them be in the same group in the first preliminary round or something. ”

"Well, it sounds like they must be competing." Aster said.

"Hmm...... The competition was handed over to Gui to be held, why don't we ask? Chu Yue felt that it would be better to know what to do with classmate Gui.

"Hmm." Shion nodded.

……

And just like that, time rushed by...... It's finally time for the holidays.

After all, the swimming competition is an activity organized by the students themselves, so in order not to occupy everyone's usual time, the competition time is on the first day of summer vacation. It just so happened that no one had returned home on this day, so it was a good time to hold a swimming competition.

School swimming pool.

The auditorium was filled with girls in all kinds of swimsuits. At the entrance to the pool, there are four people sitting on chairs, each with their names on the table in front of them. Obviously the host and guest. On the bulletin board of the swimming pool on one side, the background is directly Mizuho's swimsuit photo...... It says 3rd grade swimming competition.

"Everyone is welcome to participate in the Year 3 Swimming Competition, which will be held by Class A of Year 3. The rules of the game must already be known to everyone. Hawkers, I won't say more nonsense, and the players from the first group are invited to play. Teacher Scarlet, who presided over the competition, immediately announced the start of the competition.

Because it was a swimming competition, Gui invited Teacher Scarlet Sako to be the host of the competition, and also let the little musician of the drama department, Junzhi of the student union, and the swimming lesson teacher as guests and referees. Of course, everyone who appears here now is wearing a swimsuit.

In the first group, Chu Yue and Ziyuan appeared. After Chu Yue and Zi Yuan walked to the diving place together, the audience immediately let out a scream.

"Classmate Chu Yue, please advise." A girl beside Chu Yue showed an expression of adoration to Chu Yue.

"Well, please advise." Chu Yue said with a smile.

"Classmate Chu Yue, classmate Ziyuan, come on!" In the audience, Michiko shouted.

"Sister Chu Yue, come on! Sister Shion, come on! Yukari also shouted from the audience.

"Hmm!" Chu Yue beckoned to the two.

And because Ziyuan was not next to Chu Yue, the two looked at each other across the three of them, and then smiled.

As the whistle blew, six people jumped off at the same time at the pool diving site!

The first time, the comparison is only about speed, there are no obstacles, and you have to swim to the end. On the second round, students will hold a hoop on your track, and when they get to the lap, they will jump over the loop. There will be two laps on each track. On the third round, when you swim to the finish line again, there will be a water net laid on your track, and you will need to walk or swim over the water net. In the fourth round, which is the last time to swim back, it is also the climax, when you turn around, there are students who give you a hammer and a hat, you can use your hammer to hit the opponent's hat, of course, the opponent can also hit your hat, whoever comes back first and does not throw away the hat is the winner.

In the first game, Chu Yue immediately had the upper hand in the first round, and when the second round was completed, the slowest Ziyuan in the first round had not even completed the first round......

The winner of this group has no doubt in the slightest. When Chu Yue finished...... There are no more people starting the fourth round......

After Chu Yue finally swam to the finish line, the cheers on the field immediately rang out.

"Chu Yue won the first game with an absolute advantage! However, students who did not win the first place do not need to worry, because the top three in each group can participate in the finals. That is, half of the people in each group can advance to the next round. Teacher Scarlet immediately shouted into the microphone.

"Sister Chu Yue is great! Sister Aster, come on! "The little one is a guest, and of course there is also a microphone.

After Chu Yue finished the competition, she sat on the edge of the swimming pool and waited for the other players to finish.

"Ah, classmate Chu Yue doesn't seem to have any intention of leaving...... Are you waiting for other students? Teacher Scarlet said immediately.

"Come on! Students! The swim teacher also looked excited and shouted into the microphone.

Soon, the other players also finished the game, and after greeting Chu Yue, the other players did not stay by the pool. Instead, I went back to the auditorium. Until, in last place, Shion completed the fourth round.

Chu Yue stood on the shore with a smile, and then stretched out her hand towards Ziyuan.

Shion smiled and held out her hand as well. The hands of the two shook together, and then Chu Yue pulled Ziyuan up.

There was immediately another round of cheers and screams on the field.

"Wow, it turns out that classmate Chu Yue has been staying on the shore to wait for her friend Ziyuan, let's applaud their friendship!" Scarlet said, already clapping first. There was immediately another round of applause.

"Hehe, it's friendship." Chu Yue whispered in Ziyuan's ear.

"Well, after all, classmate Chu Yue is too good." Zi Yuan also whispered in Chu Yue's ear.

Originally, it was not allowed to pull up another player like Chu Yue. However, Shion is already the last place, and it has just completed the fourth round, so everyone ignores this rule.

After returning to the audience, the next match was some of the other students, of course, not as attractive as this first set.

When it came to the group with Mizuho, Mr. Scarlet Sako regretted to tell everyone that because Mizuho's situation was special, he couldn't just add the game. However, Mizuho sat in the audience in a swimsuit, and everyone understood. Of course, there are also people who want to ask Mizuho, but Mizuho is surrounded by classmates, as well as Chu Yue Mizuho and others, so those who want to ask are embarrassed to ask.

The competition continued, although it did not attract everyone's attention as much as the first group, but after all, it was still a third-year student, juniors and classmates, and there were many well-known girls, and the atmosphere at the scene was very lively.

And Maria and Takako, fortunately, were not placed in one group. Of course, could it also be that Kei did it on purpose? This Chu Yue doesn't know.

The second round of the competition was not long in coming. This time it was a group of six, but instead of the top three going to the next round, the first place went to the next round, which was the semi-finals.

After this round of competition, there will be twelve people left. It is possible to divide into two groups. Three more people will be eliminated from each of the two groups, and then the final will be played.

The semi-finalists were also quickly chosen. At this time, Maria and Takako were finally put into a group...... And Chu Yue, in another group.

Chu Yue's group played first, and Chu Yue was still overwhelming. The crowd is still very active. Except, of course, probably two people - Takako and Maria.

Because the players are close to the audience, most of the spectators in this area are players. And Mary and Guizi, of course, are also very close to each other.

"It's going to be a duel between the two of us!" Takako spoke first.

"Hmph, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time." Mary replied immediately.

"Wait for me to defeat you, Maria-san." Takako then taunted.

"Be careful not to overload." Maria taunts......

"Actually, I've always had a question." Takako said.

"Oh? Would the student council president even ask me questions? Maria immediately looked smug.

"Sister, it seems that you take a leave of absence every swimming lesson, right? Even this swimming competition did not come. Guizi said, turning his head to look at Mary.

“！！” Maria was stunned for a moment, and this expression was immediately captured by Takako.

"Hehe, it seems that there is indeed a hidden secret." This time, Chang Guizi smiled proudly, "Maria, is there something wrong with my sister's swimming?" You know that, right? ”

"Hmph, what's the matter!" Although it was seen, where would Maria pay attention to Takako, "Mizuho passed the swimming test, don't forget." ”

"I know." Takako said, "If it weren't for my sister's passing the exam, I would have found you a long time ago." ”

"Then you still ask." Maria was a little relieved.

"However, this competition has made me even more convinced that my sister really has a problem with swimming." Takako immediately said, "With the character of my sister, I would never fail to participate in such a competition." I also took a leave of absence from this competition, so there must be something hidden. ”

"Cut, so what?" Mary knew she couldn't hide it, but so what? Can't I pretend to be stupid...... If I don't say it, I won't say it, I won't say it, I'll be angry with you, I'll be angry with you......

"I know you won't say it." Apparently knowing Maria as well, Takako immediately said, "So, how about this tournament as a bet?" Aside from the fact that the feud between us is written off, if I win, you have to tell my sister why she always takes time off from swimming lessons. If you win, I won't talk about it. ”

"Heh, so generous?" Mary said, "Aren't you afraid that I will repent?" ”

"If you regret it, I will dispute my sister's swimming class results last semester as a student council member." Takako stared at Maria, "I don't think you want your sister to be unable to step down, do you?" This sentence is no longer a gamble, and even has some threatening implications.

"......," said Maria, gritting her teeth, "then how can I know that if I win, will you keep the promise?" ”

"You can rest assured of this, I think my credibility can still be guaranteed." Takako is still very confident in his credibility.

"Che ......" However, the question of your son's credibility is completely invalid in front of Mary...... In Maria's eyes, Takako is the kind of despicable and shameless villain who can use all means to achieve his goals for the benefit of the student council......

"Or, you can find a notary." Knowing what Mary meant, the noble son said again.

Of course, such a bet cannot be made public, and the person you are looking for must be enough to convince everyone. There seem to be only a few such people - Ruisui, Chu Yue, and Ziyuan.

Mizuho directly ruled out that Chu Yue was now in the game, and the bet contract had to be established before the next game, so he could only find Ziyuan.

The two found Ziyuan, who listened and nodded, expressing his willingness to be this notary.

"It seems that this is the second time I have been a notary public for the gambling contract." Shion said with a smile.

"The second time?" Takako is strange.

"Hmm. Last time, it seemed to be a bet between Chu Yue's classmates and Mizuho's classmates," Shion smiled and said, "However, I don't know if Chu Yue's classmates still remember." ”

"Uh......" Guizi didn't have much interest in the gambling contract between Chu Yue and Mizuho, so he didn't ask much.

And after Shion nodded, the bet between Guizi and Maria was officially effective. And at this time, the competition of Chu Yue's group had just ended.

Chu Yue walked to the audience, and Zi Yuan came over and handed Chu Yue a bottle of drink.

Chu Yue took a few sips and asked, "What did Maria and Guizi come over to say just now?" ”

"It's another bet," Shion said with a smile, "However, this time it involves Mizuho-san." ”

"Oh?"

So, Shion told the bet between Maria and Guizi again. However, after listening to it, Chu Yue smiled. It seems that Mary is at a disadvantage in this bet, but in fact it is true that Mary is completely in charge. If a notary had not been hired for this bet, of course Mary would have had nothing to do. However, now that there is a notary public such as Shion, it is obvious that it is impossible for Guizi to stop abiding by the gambling contract. And if Mary wins, it is safe to say that you will not be able to do anything else. However, if Maria loses, the reason for Mizuho's swimming lesson leave is still not Maria herself, as for whether it is right or not, if you ask Chu Yue and Mizuho, they will definitely say it right. After all, there are only a few people who really know the truth. Aster also knows the truth, but Guizi doesn't know that Aster knows. So, in this way, this bet was completely made by Maria in order for Mizuho to not be exposed in the academy.

On the other side of the game, Maria and Takako were in a team, and the game had begun.

Chu Yue's side, giving the relationship to Ziyuan so reasoned, even Ziyuan smiled.

Looking at Guizi who was competing with Maria in the pool, Shion was silent for a while, and then said, "Actually, Guizi-san, you may not know about such a relationship......

Chu Yue was stunned for a moment, and then understood.

"That's right." Chu Yue nodded, "How could the student council president be so stupid that he didn't know that he was at a disadvantage in the relationship of gambling contracts." ”

However, Guizi-san's classmate agreed, and it seems that ...... It's also very understanding of Mizuho-san......" Shion looked at Guizi's gaze, containing some admiration.

"Moreover, if any students give their opinions, you don't have to worry about it...... Even if someone clings to it, Guizi can be regarded as having a legitimate reason. Chu Yue continued, looking at Guizi's gaze with a little more appreciation, "Really, it's not a simple student president......"

"Hehe," Shion smiled, "I suddenly feel that Guizi-san has become a little cute." ”

"Huh." Chu Yue also smiled.

And the center of time, Mizuho, is on the side, nervously watching the match between Maria and Takako.

In fact, except for Chu Yue and Zi Yuan, the other girls were all nervously watching the game. In this group of competitions, the host Mr. Scarlet Sazi has long said in the host, "This is a fateful duel that transcends time and space!" In this group of competitions, there are student president Takako Itsukushima, and the head of the athletics department 'Wind of Freedom' Maria Mimon, Takako Itsukushima, who is as beautiful as an iceberg that does not melt for 10,000 years, and Maria Mimon, who is as young as a volcano that erupts in an instant, who do you think will win? ”

After Mr. Scarlet finished speaking, the screams on the field continued......

And the two people on the field, for the sake of the game, and the gambling contract, have already surpassed the others as early as the first time...... These hours of training are not without effect......

The two of them jumped over the circle together, swam into the water net, and immediately fell into the depths again...... Then he got up and picked up the hammer hat, and then both of them grabbed their own hat with one hand and tried to hit each other's hat with the other...... At the same time, his feet kept swimming forward......

The end result......

Belch......

Nobody knows......

Because...... Is it a tie......

Everyone saw that Maria and Takako reached the end almost at the same time. Why almost? Because everyone thinks there should be a winner or loser. But some people say that Maria is faster, some say that Guizi is faster, and even the four guests and referees are two people who think that Maria wins, and two think that Guizi wins...... In fact, everyone knows that the two are indeed tied, but everyone has emotional tendencies......

Helplessly, in the end, the host had to announce that the two were tied......

Anyway, there is a final at the end, and this game is just to select three players to participate in the finals. The host said, "As for which player is better, let's pay attention to the finals!" ”

Before the finals, there was a break. After all, everyone is constantly playing, and Maria Takako's group has just finished a high-quality game. During the break, everyone is free to move, and when the time comes, the final will be played.

And Takako and Maria are not satisfied with such a result, the grudge between them, this means that it is not over?!

"Well, it's okay, it's okay." Chu Yue walked over with Ziyuan at this time, "Isn't there still a final?" It's not that there is no chance. ”

Maria and Takako looked at each other, then turned their heads at the same time......

"Ha, haha......" Chu Yue smiled awkwardly......

"If you bet, should you add the result of a tie?" Shion said with a smile.

"No!" ×2, Mary and Takako shouted at the same time.

"I must win her in the final!" ×2, the two shouted at the same time......

"Hehe......" Shion smiled too.

After the break, everyone recovered a bit. By the time of the final, it was already afternoon.

"Prepare ......," the referee shouted, and then the gunshots rang out!

The six of them sped into the water, and then suddenly swam towards the finish line.

Chu Yue is still far ahead. But the other five are not far apart. Although Maria and Takako are both excellent in this regard, of course, there are other masters.

By the third time, it was clear. Chu Yue has a big lead, unless she stops and waits, the championship has already been won. Behind them are Maria and Takako, who are still evenly matched, competing for the second place. And later, although the remaining three people are not much different, but the basic positions have also appeared, whether there is a change in the rankings later, it depends on whether there is still someone who keeps a hand, or how strong the final explosiveness is.

Chu Yue completed the fourth round, arrived on the shore, and stood on the shore again, looking at Maria and Guizi behind her.

The end, right away, right away!
