Chapter 214: Chapter 5: Raising the Curtains
"I\'ll show off my good side to Kikyo-chan!".
Ike, who was walking behind me, excitedly voiced his expectations. I wonder how he\'s intending on showing off when he\'s one of those people who are not especially good at sports. I could see that it was almost unmistakably a fruitless effort without any secret strategy behind it.
In the opening ceremony, 3rd year Class A\'s Fujimaki was the one who gave the opening declaration. By the way, on the outskirts of the school grounds, there weren\'t many but I could see the figures of spectators scattered here and there. They are probably adults who work on-campus. In regards to them, it doesn\'t seem like the school has set any restrictions. Occasionally, I could see smiles and hands waving.
On the other hand, the teachers were watching over the students with nary a smile on their faces while adults who appear to be medical staff could also be seen.
Furthermore, a cottage that could fit roughly 20 people was built and installed inside was a cooler, a water dispenser and the such. Just like the uninhabited island, the preparations were flawless. By the way, the competing Red Team and White Team were provided with tents installed on opposite sides of the track as though sandwiching it between them.
As such, it has been made so that there could be no possible contact other than during the contests.
"But even so they\'re very thoroughly prepared. Ultimately, even cameras meant to help with judgement calls have been set up".
For the 100 meter dash that\'ll be coming up first, a camera was pointed towards a point that appears to be the goal.
"So that means misjudgements and ambiguous results will definitely be avoided".
It appears even if it\'s by an hairbreadth, they intend on deciding victory and defeat like it\'s a horserace. That is precisely why contests that are difficult to score like cheerleading and the such are not included in this sports festival.
