The cool autumn wind blew across the soccer field, infused with the summer-like fervor of cheering parents and students.
Aozawa stood in the last position, his ears filled with the passionate commentary of the PE teacher, "Blue Team's Terao is running second towards the last baton!"
"Hey, Aozawa, for the sake of fairness, you better wait for me."
Hojo Tetsuji said nervously.
With their skills, if they started at the same time, Hojo Tetsuji felt his chances of winning were still high.
But if Aozawa started first, even by just a second, the outcome could become unpredictable.
This was something he had forgotten to consider earlier.
Watching as Red Team's Furusawa Kyoichiro took off, Aozawa was next.
Hojo Tetsuji suddenly realized how severe the issue was, as his teammates were not performing well.
In a relay race, being even one or two seconds slow could mean missing the championship.
Sports truly is a terrifying competition that does not tolerate mistakes!
