Chapter 510: Let me see my limits!

While the first-year students were taking their meditation exam, the second-year students' road relay race had also reached a critical moment. Nan Yunya's group had already assigned the candidates for each baton. He was staring at the intersection motionlessly, waiting for the next person to pass the baton.

When the rules were announced, the importance of the Road Relay Race immediately overshadowed the other events.

Because other exams have points deduction items, as long as you don't get points deducted, you can get a high score. But in the relay race, ranking is only based on results. The less time a group takes to complete the exam, the higher the score will naturally be.

Moreover, the school arranges students from different classes to form teams for this purpose. During the road relay race, the distance of each baton will be decided by the students themselves. Those with stronger physical strength can take on longer distances, while those with weaker physical strength can take on shorter distances.

If everyone is united and working together, it will naturally be a great joy, but if the atmosphere of the group falls apart, a completely different situation will occur in this project.

After all, if someone is unhappy with the [person in charge] and deliberately wastes time in the distance they are responsible for, it will have a huge impact on the group's score.

This is also the key to attacking each other.

Watching the students from other groups leave from beside him, the blond man's expression became somewhat grim.

Nan Yunya has good athletic ability, so in order to ensure that his group has better results, he assigned himself a distance of 3.6 kilometers. Among the distances assigned by the group, he got the longest distance.

"Why aren't you here?!"

Nan Yunya, who was standing in place, saw that the two team members who were competing with him ran over, and inevitably, he began to panic.

Nan Yun arranged himself to be the third from the last because the distance between the people in front was not that far, and most of the members in this group were students from Class A of the second grade, and no one had particularly poor athletic ability, so it was unlikely that they would be so slow, which was completely different from the training.

"Damn, is there something wrong?"

When the members of the last group in the same round of competition ran past him, Nan Yunya's expression became more and more ferocious.

At the same time, where he couldn't see, the boy in the same group with Hashima Mitsuru who was successfully recruited by him was walking slowly. Yes, he was deliberately slowing down to delay time.

When the distances were being assigned, this second-year boy had performed well in training, so he was assigned a distance of three kilometers by Nan Yunya, which was enough for him to perform well.

The boy walking slowly on the road thought of Ryuji Kanzaki who came to him that day. He had actually had the idea of ​​falling for Hikaru Hashima a long time ago.

The reason is simple, the other party is the real future of the school.

As a smart man, after understanding Mitsuru Hashima's methods and the supporters behind him, he switched sides without much hesitation. After all, it was all for profit, so why not choose someone more stable?

"Just let me see how far you can go."

The slowly moving boy walked a distance of two kilometers before he began to speed up.

"coming!"

When Nan Yunya saw the classmate who was in the previous position rushing over with sweat all over his forehead, his face turned pale.

He knew that there was no turning back in this exam, but he had to find out what had happened!

……

After the first-year students completed the written test, the next step was the road relay race.

The boy knew very well that this exam was the most crucial point for scoring. In addition to guarding against other people's plots, his goal was to get the overall first place in the boys' group.

The teams led by Horikita Manabu and Kiriyama Ikuha will each give their all in this exam. In this case, he must produce even better results.

People who have gained trust must do things that live up to the trust. This is one of Hashima Hikaru's life creeds.

After arriving at the examination location, the students gathered together and followed the teacher's arrangements for this round of examinations. There were several small cars parked on the road outside. In order to save time, these cars would transport the group members to the baton handover location.

The teacher is making the final announcement of the rules.

The first rule is that every student must run at least 1.2 kilometers. Similarly, the distance between the baton passing positions must also be at least 1.2 kilometers. It can be doubled, but the minimum is 1.2 kilometers.

The second rule is that if you are unable to participate in the run due to an accident or fail to complete the distance, you will be deemed to have voluntarily forfeited your qualification for the exam.

After hearing these arrangements, Mitsuru Hashima just smiled slightly. This time he arranged himself to be the last leg, and the distance to be run was a full six kilometers. He arranged several people with weak athletic abilities to choose 1.2 kilometers, while he took on the most important sprint task.

"Hashima-san, are you really okay?"

Ryuji Kanzaki stood beside the boy to make the final confirmation. After all, the distance he was responsible for was five times of 1.2 kilometers, which was definitely not a short distance.

"It's okay. I just want to see where my limits are."

Hashima Mitsuru smiled slightly. This time there was no direct opponent in the exam, it was a pure team battle. He really wanted to see the effect of his training.

"Really? Then let's look forward to Hashima-san breaking the record."

"I think so."

The young man got on the bus with a confident look on his face. But just after getting on the bus, he caught a glimpse of an unexpected person out of the corner of his eye. The other person had extremely exaggerated body lines, long golden hair hanging behind his head, and looked extremely confident.

"Hashima Boy, it's you?"

After seeing Hashima Hikaru, Kouenji's expression was a little surprised, "Are you the last one?"

"Yes."

"Then we can compete with each other. I didn't find a chance to compete with you at the last sports festival. How about we compete this time?"

Kouenji cheerfully issued his challenge.

"But my distance is six kilometers, is yours too?"

Mitsuru Hashima looked at him with a smile. The boy felt that this arrogant chaebol son was hiding something very secretive.

He may be a suitable chess piece, but how to communicate still needs to be considered.

"Six kilometers?"

Kouenji's expression changed slightly. He stared at Hashima Hikaru's profile, and a more impudent smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "The distance I'm responsible for is 3.6 kilometers. If you run fast enough, maybe we really will have a chance to compete."

"Really? If possible, I'd like to compete with Kouenji-kun."

Hashima Hikaru didn't care.

"Then come on!"

The blond muscular man laughed out loud. He was very satisfied with being assigned to the last leg.

Because Hashima Hikaru was the only person he liked in the first grade, although he didn't participate much in the last sports festival, Kouenji had been observing her.

He was extremely excited to be able to see the other party's true strength.

Chapter 511 Kouenji: I will make you a promise.

After completing the preparations for the [Road Relay Race], Hashima Hikaru got off the bus at his own position. Since the distance to Koenji was shorter than his, the other party had to ride for a while longer.

"I'll be waiting for you there, Hashima-Boy."

The blond man smiled and waved at him, then disappeared at the end of the road.

"Haha, what an incredible guy."

Mitsuru Hashima just shook his head. He looked around and saw that this time the competition was not held on a plastic track, but on a man-made mountain road.

Mountain roads are naturally very different from runways. Although they have been artificially opened up, there are still some differences, such as the ups and downs on the road and the various gravel or wood beside the road.

This is why the school arranges physical education classes almost every day, because students need to be familiar with the roads for exercise.

"Next, we'll just wait here for the next person to arrive."

Because this group has fifteen people, in order to reach the last baton, they need to complete the pass from the previous fourteen people. Hashima Hikaru is responsible for the six kilometers of the road alone, which means that the distance between the others is very small, which makes it easier to control.

"But the second-grade exam that ended this morning should be interesting."

The young man stroked his chin and said teasingly, "I really want to see Nan Yun's expression at that time."

After finishing his soliloquy, Hashima Hikaru stood quietly by the roadside, waiting for the person to hand over the baton.

When deciding the order of the baton passers at the beginning, everyone still had some discussion. In order to minimize the risk of the "traitor", Hashima Hikaru arranged for him to run the shortest distance of 1.2 kilometers, and the second to last baton was passed to Kanzaki Ryuji, so as to maximize the risk avoidance.

After a while, accompanied by heavy breathing, Kanzaki's running figure appeared in Hashima Hikaru's sight.

"Hurry! Hashima-san! Come on!"

"understand!"

After seeing the other person's face clearly, Mitsuru Hashima's expression was shocked. He quickly stepped forward and immediately took the baton from Ryuji Kanzaki's hand.

"Please leave it to me!"

The young man smiled slightly, and after getting the baton, he turned around without hesitation and prepared to sprint.

"Come on, Hashima-san!"

"Ah."

Adjust your breathing, check the system panel, and activate your skills!

[Do you want to activate the potential burst (mastery)? ]

[Start successfully. 】

【Stamina 7 → 10! 】

After activating [Potential Burst (Mastery)], Mitsuru Hashima instantly felt a loud bang in his mind, and countless tiny lines began to converge in front of his eyes.

"I'm going!"

The young man took a deep breath, and his body seemed to be riding the strong wind as he rushed towards the mountain road ahead. He was like a flash of lightning, and disappeared from Kanzaki Ryuji's sight in an instant.

"This……"

Looking at the opponent's movement speed, Kanzaki Ryuji, who has excellent athletic ability, was shocked. He knew that Hashima Hikaru's ability was terrifying, but after seeing this scene with his own eyes, it still far exceeded his understanding.

"Is that human being?"

……

On the other side, Mitsuru Hashima, who was running wildly on the mountain road, felt like he had obtained unprecedented attribute blessings. The [Potential Burst] he had experienced before was far from achieving this effect. After his physical strength increased to 7 points, his physical strength was now a full 10 points.

The effect of maxing out the attribute values ​​gave the boy a subversive experience. Although he was running on the ground, Hikaru Hashima could not feel any sense of reality at all. It was like he was flying on the road. This was really exaggerated.

The sound of the wind in his ears no longer affected his feelings. As he looked at the road scenery moving backwards, a more satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"This feeling……"

After feeling the power contained in his body, Mitsuru Hashima truly felt how terrifying the explosive power of human beings' ultimate attributes was. Although the distance was only six kilometers, he did not feel it was a long time. It was as fast as a roller coaster.

After running a certain distance, at the end of the road, Mitsuru Hashima saw the muscular blond man, but unfortunately, he did not have the baton in his hand.

"What's going on here?"

Hikaru Hashima slowed down and spoke.

"It's a shame, it looks like our group members can't do what I hoped, they haven't arrived yet."

Koenji's expression was not very good at this time. He was originally responsible for the last leg of the 3.6 kilometers. If he had given his all, he would have achieved better results, but unfortunately the members of the group did not achieve his goal.

"Do you want me to wait for you?"

Hashima Hikaru thought for a moment and suddenly said.

"Do you think you can definitely get first place?"

Kouenji smiled, his eyes penetrating. "If you wait for me, you might not get satisfactory results."

"Yes, but if Kouenji-san wants to compete with me, such opportunities won't come often."

Hashima Mitsuru smiled slightly. He had a clear sense of time in his mind. After everyone in the group had completed the handover, he felt there was still plenty of time left.

"It seems like Hashima Boy is also a crazy person. I like your personality!"

When Koenji Rokusuke found out that Hashima Hikaru was not just talking but really wanted to stop and wait for him, he felt very happy about this crazy and bold decision.

"Really."

The boy's tone was calm.

"If I lose, I'll make you a promise,"

Kouenji suddenly stared at Hashima Hikaru's face seriously, "I swear on my last name, as long as you make a request, our Kouenji Zaibatsu will definitely help you fulfill it."

"really?"

"A man's promise is as heavy as Mount Tai, Hashima Boy. Since you are willing to wait here, I will make this promise to you."

"it is good."

Hashima Hikaru thought about it and felt that this was not a disadvantageous thing. If he could really make the Koenji Zaibatsu owe him a favor, there would always be a chance to use it.
