Chapter 008: Weak Chickens and Strong Chickens

Shen Qi and Xu Rui's team did not leave the field, and they had not lost until the end of the class

Four male students are standing in position, ready to start the race

The three boys from the same group are truly weaklings in front of Xu Rui, as they have no power to resist

"The weak among the scholars, the tractor among the weak." Xu Rui continued to chatter incessantly, while Shen Qi surprisingly grew closer to this scholar Huang Zikun. Xu Rui felt increasingly despondent, as Shen Qi strayed further down the path of betrayal

Maturity, my foot! It's all just pretense!

Xu Rui, you are a high school student, not an elementary school student; please be more mature

"Comparing with others is still being weak; you are not only weak but also a study snob." Xu Rui's aversion to Huang Zikun has not developed overnight. Huang Zikun maintains a nonchalant demeanor towards everyone, including those who struggle academically. In Xu Rui's view, Huang Zikun inherently looks down on academic underachievers, which is manifested in his so-called calm and indifferent attitude, showing disdain for engaging with those of lesser academic standing.

Go, Huang Zikun!

"Shen Qi, you are such a clown," Xu Rui scolded, but in his heart, he forgave Shen Qi to some extent. He stopped speaking and took a few steps back

The two individuals collaborated harmoniously with clearly defined roles, and the friendship between the brothers was rekindled. The other male member of the team had nothing to do; his only role on the field was to serve the ball

All positions ready! Teacher Sun has issued the preparatory signal

The term "learning bitch" is not suitable for use on boys. Huang Zikun is not angry; he remains calm and truly embodies a sense of tranquility.

Huang Zikun's perfect score for the 50-meter dash is 7 seconds flat, while Shen Qi is slightly slower, achieving a score of 7.2 seconds, which corresponds to 90 points

"Huang Zikun, you are quite impressive," Shen Qi said to Huang Zikun, drenched in sweat. This was a sincere statement; Huang Zikun had almost no weaknesses, and he could also achieve full marks in physical education.

Xu Rui took the lead right from the start, his running pace was very strong, with a high hip intensity, deliberately controlling the exchange frequency, clearly indicating that he had trained for this.

The 100 meters is the event that suits you best, train diligently under Coach He, as he has a unique method for instructing his disciples

"Come on, let's form a team." Shen Qi accepted the challenge and was grouped with Huang Zikun to compete in the 50-meter race

Having excellent grades but no friends is, in fact, a kind of sorrow. Shen Qi thought carefully and realized that what Huang Zikun said seemed to make some sense

"This is what a top student is like; over time, you will find that friends become fewer and loneliness increases." At this moment, a person walked over, it was Huang Zikun, who always stood out to summarize things inadvertently

Recently, I have been training for the 100-meter dash with Teacher He

Shen Qi's athletic level in the system is set at a default indicator of level 1, which corresponds to the average level of high school students

Is this your limit, weakling?" Xu Rui shouted as he stepped up to the starting line, it was his group's turn.

No, the sparrow and the swan can never truly become friends, because they fly at different altitudes. After saying this, Huang Zikun floated away

The girls from Class 2 of the second year gathered to cheer for Huang Zikun, the versatile prince who boasts high looks, excellent academic performance, and impressive athletic abilities, has quite a few admirers.

"Brother, people will change, but you are my best brother, and that will never change." Shen Qi, who is 1.75 meters tall, patted Xu Rui on the shoulder. Xu Rui has grown taller again; he must be about 1.85 meters now.

With a lead of over 10 meters, Xu Rui was the first to cross the finish line

The following is free activity time. Most of the girls have left the playground to engage in activities elsewhere on campus. The boys are playing basketball or soccer, which are the two most common forms of sports entertainment among high school students

Shen Qi's physique is not as strong as Xu Rui's; his characteristic is a higher shooting accuracy when unguarded. In fact, he is just a fragile ADC.

Xu Rui turned and left, his robust figure unable to suppress the confusion, where can one speak of desolation

The departure whistle has sounded

Xu Rui angrily pushed away Shen Qi's arm: "You scoundrel, don't pretend to be my brother. You sneakily study on the side; do you think you are being fair to me? What happened to your original intention, Shen Qi? We agreed to struggle together, yet you betray that promise with full marks. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

Dudu

The warm-up exercises begin, one two three four, two two three four... Teacher Sun leads the students in warm-up activities

At this moment, a sharp whistle sounded on the playground, signaling the arrival of the physical education teacher

Line up! Teacher Sun from the Physical Education department issued the command to line up, raising his right fist and extending his left arm horizontally

"Weak chicken, catch the ball!" Xu Ruiqiang charged to the basket, knocking over two players, and passed the ball to Shen Qi behind him at an angle

This physical education class was extremely exhilarating! Shen Qihan was drenched in sweat, relishing the joy of dominating the court.

Boys all possess a competitive spirit; even during a 50-meter running practice, Shen Qi also wants to be the first to cross the finish line

Huang Zikun is a seasoned academic achiever, excelling in mathematics, as well as in physics, chemistry, biology, Chinese, and English. He possesses no weaknesses and is exceptionally well-rounded. Moreover, Huang Zikun is quite handsome, being the most attractive boy in Class 2 of the second year of high school

"Hahaha, that was really satisfying!" Shen Qi finally scored, and he expressed his happiness

"Shen Qi, you have changed," Xu Rui said to Shen Qi

The whistle sounded, signaling the start of the race

The basketball rules for Class 2 of the second year are quite simple: teams consist of three players each, and they play half-court games. The team that loses by 5 points first must leave the court, allowing another team to come on and challenge the winner

"Two weaklings, what is there to compare between them?" A person behind me said disdainfully, it was Xu Rui, the only subject in which he could outshine those academic overachievers was physical education

Xu Rui's personality is characterized by a twisted sense of humor and a distorted straightforwardness, and Shen Qi understands him well. In a few days, a little reassurance will suffice, and everything will be fine. Brothers are still brothers; it is a lifelong matter

This person's inner world is truly peculiar

Go, Huang Zikun!

Huang Zikun grew more courageous with each battle, and he took the lead to cross the finish line with an advantage of more than one position.

"But I believe that as long as we get along well, grades and everything else are secondary; feelings are the most important," Shen Qi said.

At this time, the system prompts: "The host has earned 1 Scholar Point through physical exercise."

Thank you, Teacher Sun. Xu Rui respectfully took the mineral water, changing his usual nonsensical demeanor; the teacher he respected the most was the physical education teacher, and his favorite class was physical education.

"Xu Rui, stop playing solo and pass the ball to me, let me score a few points too." Shen Qi was displeased; he was on the same team as Xu Rui but was completely unable to get the ball.

Good! Xu Rui nodded emphatically

"Oh, how wonderful that running and playing ball can also earn academic points!" Although it was only 1 academic point, it was still an unexpected gain, and Shen Qi felt that he had profited.

"Too weak, you are all too weak, come on, bring someone strong to take me on!" Xu Rui shouted boastfully, exuding an inexplicable dominance both on the track and on the field

"Just play along then," Huang Zikun said calmly, not paying any attention to Xu Rui's incessant chatter

Four male students started the race, and Shen Qi had a quicker reaction at the start, maintaining a leading position for the first 20 meters

In the second year of high school, approximately forty students from Class 2 are arranged in four rows, with a few more boys than girls

Prepare

However, upon further reflection, since studying and practicing problems can earn academic points, physical exercise can similarly do so, as physical education is also one of the ten key indicators in the system

"You are not as big as I am," Xu Rui said with his head held high, speaking as if it were a matter of course, completely ignoring the nearby girl's shameful laughter as she covered her face.

After running 30 meters, Huang Zikun suddenly lengthened his stride, and after a few large steps, he surpassed Shen Qi

Seeing Xu Rui being favored by the physical education teacher, Shen Qi also felt happy for him. Everyone has their own unique highlights, and Xu Rui's highlights, apart from his impressive physique, are his outstanding athletic abilities

"The first two were just so-so, the last two are like embroidered pillows, even a koala runs faster than you!" Teacher Sun praised Huang Zikun and Shen Qi, while reprimanding the two boys at the back

Xu Rui's style of playing basketball is to first overpower you, and only after overpowering you does he engage in reasoning with you

On the basketball court, Xu Rui drove to the basket, easily sending the ball into the hoop after knocking over three defenders

The tank Xu Rui charges forward, responsible for drawing aggro, while Shen Qi stands firm, outputting damage with great satisfaction

The physical education teacher has not yet arrived, and the students of Class 2 in the second year are freely engaging in activities on the playground

Shen Qi, Huang Zikun, and two other boys stood at the starting line, and the four of them ran 50 meters first.

"Alright, alright, we are the weak ones, and you are the strong one." Shen Qi quickly tried to soothe Xu Rui, easing the tension between them. He valued their friendship greatly, as Xu Rui had once helped him in a fight and had even been hospitalized.

"Alright, alright, you are the best, absolutely amazing. The strong ones should stand back, and our weaker group will go first." Shen Qi admitted this point; he had inadvertently witnessed Xu Rui's impressive physique while in the restroom, which was simply not characteristic of a high school student's anatomy.

Doo!

"Seven seconds is just average, barely acceptable," Huang Zikun said in a lukewarm manner

"Weaklings, come on, fight me!"

7 seconds flat! 7 seconds 2! 8 seconds 4! 9 seconds flat! Teacher Sun continuously operated the stopwatch and announced the 50-meter running test results of this group of four boys

Today we practiced 50 meters, in groups of four, with each person free to move after completing one lap. After warming up, Teacher Sun led the team to the track

The two opponents were forcefully knocked to the ground by Xu Rui, their faces filled with despair. The remaining one trembled in fear, retreating to beyond the three-point line, while the unguarded Shen Qi easily made a basket.

"Shen Qi, gesture a bit." Huang Zikun and Shen Qi are of similar height, standing next to each other in line

Huang Zikun ran quite fast! Shen Qi had an advantage in the race, but was overtaken midway, finishing second across the finish line

"6 seconds 3! Xu Rui ran quite well, come, come, have some water." Teacher Sun called Xu Rui over and handed him a bottle of mineral water; this kind of treatment is not something every student can enjoy

Xu Rui single-handedly scored 5 goals, knocking the opponent out of the game, and then replaced them with three others to continue the challenge

In fact, you could be even faster; 50 meters is too short a distance for you. You would cross the finish line just as you reach your maximum speed. Teacher Sun greatly appreciates Xu Rui; Xu Rui's physique and build make him a promising candidate for sprinting.

Therefore, Xu Rui can only join the school track and field team, as the school basketball team dares not accept him
