After the warm-up exercises finished, Ayatsuki Ayaka led the cheerleading squad in a dance on site.
The lively dance moves of the girls whipped the atmosphere into a frenzy.
At this moment, the three competing teams began tying their headbands in their respective team colors.
Aozawa was no exception.
He signed up for the mixed-gender events, as well as all the boys' events.
You could say he participated in most competitions from morning until the final event of the sports festival.
The first event of the sports festival was the mixed-gender race.
Four-legged race.
Aozawa and three others tied their feet together.
One of them was a first-year member of the Kendo Club.
"Captain, let's do our best together!"
"Alright, when we shout 1, we'll lift the left foot forward; when it's 2, we'll lift the right foot forward, alternating like that."
Aozawa said and then asked the other three: "Do any of you have objections?"
"No objections."
