“Oh, by the way, isn’t today the day test results are posted?”
I thought so and headed for the bulletin board as soon as I arrived at school.
2nd grade
1st place: ○○ ○○, 785 points
2nd place: Tohsaka Yui, 782 points
……
5th place, Miyamoto Mitsuki, 765 points
Oh, Yui is amazing after all……did I mention that she was 3rd last time?
It’s not that different from the 1st place and that’s really awesome.
I mean, didn’t Mitsuki san say she was 10th last time? If that’s the case, her score has gone up quite a bit !
I knew it, she worked so hard and the results are showing.
I’m glad to know that the results are showing, even though it wasn’t me.
“So what about me……”
15th place Shindo 725 points
It’s surprisingly high…to be honest, I thought it would be a little lower since it’s incomparably higher level than the high school I attended in my previous life.
I’m sure this is largely thanks to Yui. She taught me math, which is my weakest subject.
Well, I think I scored a hundred in English because I was good at English from my previous life.
By the way, Koudo and Sakai were in the bottom few and had a few red marks as well.
Speaking of which, what about Akari?
I suddenly became curious and turned my attention to the test results of the first-year students.
1st grade
1st place, Koudo Akari, 795 points
2nd place, ○○○○○, 756 points
Huh? That’s almost a perfect score…….
Well, it’s a given that they are heroines and all three of them are good looking, but…..they all have good scores?
I know the other two are trying, but Akari……she’s overwhelming. Well, it’s true that she looks and seems smart, so I’d say it makes sense when I look at the results.
I mean, why don’t Koudo and Sakai work hard on their studies when they’re in the habit of being surrounded by so many smart people……
Don’t they realize that they’re doing something that’s a total waste of time?
Well, it’s nothing for me to worry about.
I was about to go to the classroom with that thought in mind when I saw Mitsuki san alone in front of the bulletin board where the test results for the second grade are posted.
“Good morning, Miyamoto san.”
“Oh, good morning ! Shindo kun !”
I greeted her and she smiled back.
“Did you come here alone to see the results?”
“Yeah. I had everyone look at it first, because if the results were bad, it would definitely show on my face…….”
I see…it’s only natural that she put so much effort into it.
It’s the same with Yui, but even Akari has such high scores, so it’s no wonder she’s worried.
“I see. But it’s great ! It’s the result of your hard work, isn’t it? Last time you said you placed 10th, right?”
“Yeah ! There are four people above me, so I still have a long way to go, but I’m very happy…….”
Mitsuki san looked at the bulletin board and said she was very happy.
Seeing her like this makes me wonder if there’s anything I can do…I really want Mitsuki san to be rewarded for her efforts.
“Miyamoto san?”
“What’s wrong?”
“Miyamoto san, you’re gonna keep on working hard, right?”
“Yeah ! Of course I will !”
Mitsuki san confidently answered my question.
“I see. Then, if there is anything I can do, please let me know. I wanna support your efforts. Besides, I’m worried that you might collapse like you did back then.”
I felt a little embarrassed saying this, so I said it jokingly.
I thought Mitsuki san’s face turned red when she heard my words, but she immediately smiled and replied.
“Thank you. Shindo kun ! Then I’ll definitely rely on you if I need anything !”
“Yeah.”
Then we walked back to the classroom together.
–I caught Yui and the others’ attention as soon as I returned to the classroom.
Oh, crap….I was so engrossed in the conversation that I forgot about Koudo and the others.
Wow…he’s obviously looking at me with some suspicion.
Yui also has sharp eyes, doesn’t she?
“Erm, I’m going back to my seat.”
“Yeah. See ya.”
Then I went back to my seat.
–Today we were supposed to play soccer during P.E.
“Soccer…….it’s been a long time.”
In my previous life, soccer was my hobby.
Since I was originally trained by my master, my physical ability was quite good, so I was confident that I was reasonably good at it.
I was a little better than the average person at other sports in P.E.
As I was thinking about this, I heard the conversation of Koudo and the others who were doing up nearby.
“Oh ! You’re ridiculously excited.”
“Well yeah. I’m a little confident when it comes to soccer.”
“Come to think of it. You played soccer for a few years in elementary school.”
“Yeah, well, I wasn’t that talented, so I quit, but I’m still confident I’m better than most people.”
“But you know what? Because there’s no teacher in charge of the girls today, so the girls are gonna watch the boys’ soccer game.”
“W-well…luckily there are three people in my class’ soccer club, and two of them are both goalkeepers.”
Koudo used to play soccer…so today is a chance to appeal to Yui and Mitsuki san…
Hmm, I don’t know…I didn’t care about it until a while ago, but now that we’ve become friends, I might be a little confused.
“Well, never mind, it’s been a while since I’ve played soccer, so I won’t take it seriously, but let’s have some fun.”
–After everyone had finished getting ready, we were divided into teams and the game began.
Koudo and I were on different teams, and we both played as strikers.
The rest of the soccer team consisted of one of the other team’s strikers, an ace among the second-year players named Maruyama Hikaru.
The game started with a kickoff by the other team.
Koudo passes to a boy in the soccer team.
Maruyama, a member of the soccer team, directs his classmates to connect the pass as it is.
Koudo, who also used to play soccer, is able to move around a bit.
The ball quickly made its way into the penalty area with Maruyama in the center and KOudo took a shot, but the goalkeeper made a great catch.
Maruyama’s giving better instructions than I thought he would…..he’s giving instructions in a way that even a beginner can easily understand, and it’s a quintessential example of his skill.
The goalkeeper then passes the ball to his teammate, who misplaces the trap and the ball rolls wide.
Maruyama quickly picked up the ball and twisted it into the goal.
At that moment, the girls in the class cheered.
Well, he’s a good-looking guy, so that’s what you’d expect.
I mean, Maruyama has pretty good dribbling skills too……
Then it started again from my team’s ball.
The ball came to me, so I connected a pass to the midfielder for now and moved up the front line.
When the ball was passed to me again, for some reason, Koudo was on the mark.
No, aren’t you the striker….well, it’s fine because it’s a fun game of soccer, but still.
I kicked the ball and when I tried to go forward, Koudo came at me with a strong hit.
Do you go that far in P.E soccer?
Well, it’s just on the edge of not being a foul in an actual game……
Even with that in mind, I easily dodged the second attack, dribbled to the left, passed Koudo, then the other defense with a heel lift, and then took a direct shot.
Well, the goalkeeper is a member of the soccer club, of course he can make a fly or fight decision.
As I was thinking about this, I heard the same kind of cheering from the girls in my class.
Crap…..maybe this is a bit too much.
I was having a bit of fun and lost myself in the game.
Koudo is also staring at me with great frustration.
At that moment, I suddenly looked at Yui and Mitsuki san, and both of them had red faces and were stunned, but as soon as our eyes met, they waved at me, so I waved back.
“Hey, Shindo? You used to play soccer?”
Suddenly I heard a voice from behind me, and it was Maruyama.
“Well, a little bit.”
“Seriously…..you’re pretty good at it, though. You’re not gonna join the soccer club?”
“I have no intention of joining club activities.”
“I see. That’s too bad. Well, that’s fine.”
With that, Maruyama went to talk to his teammates.
The game started again, but for some reason I thought Maruyama was on defense, but he was on my mark the whole time.
“Why did you become a defense?”
“Well, it was a P.E class and I thought I’d just have some random fun, but then I thought it would be fun to face you, Shindo.”
“……I see.”
The game with Maruyama was a lot of fun for me, and I found myself playing really hard, and I kept getting taken out, and the game ended up being a one on one match.
