Chapter 107 An Amateur Beat A Professional!
In fact.
At first, Fang Qiu did want to settle an old score with Gao Fei but he was still carrying the suitcase with 300,000 in cash.
But now, even the teacher stepped in to help, there was no need to refuse again.
At this point, this old score was to get settled with Gao Fei.
”Okay. You guys come with me.”
Mr. Ma nodded with satisfaction as he moved toward the starting line of the track.
Gao Fei threw a defiant glance at Fang Qiu before following up.
Fang Qiu remained cool.
Very soon.
The three of them came to the meter dash starting line.
”Take a break.”
Standing at the starting line, Mr. Ma blew the whistle hanging from his neck and waved to those sports special students who were training in school during the holiday. He said, ”Assemble!”
Very soon.
All the students specially enrolled into the Sports School gathered over.
”Everyone, take a rest, and clear the track for students Gao Fei and Fang Qiu.”
Said Mr. Ma as he glanced at Fang Qiu and Gao Fei. He then added, ”Today, students Gao Fei and Fang Qiu are going to have a friendly running match.”
Hearing that,
Those students looked at Fang Qiu in surprise.
Studying in the Sports School, most of them, though not part of the track team, had heard of Gao Fei before.
In the track team, Gao Fei had always been in the top position, known for his speed.
What about Fang Qiu?
Everyone was confused.
Most of them had no idea who Fang Qiu was.
”Student Fang Qiu is not in our Sports School, is he?”
”Never heard of such a man.”
”I think I've seen this name on our school BBS. He should be from the School of Chinese Medicine.”
”No way!”
”A Chinese Medicine student competes with Gao Fei on running?”
”Wouldn't this be self-inflicted abuse?”
”Yeah. Gao Fei's track and field performance has no match in the entire school. Doesn't this Fang Qiu know that?”
”How boring! What's the point of this match? That Fang Qiu guy will lose for sure. Why would Mr. Ma arrange such a match?”
”A freshman is looking for some torture. Of course we are going to satisfy him.”
”This year's freshmen really suck. He looks dumb in every way.”
Those sports special students pointed finger at Fang Qiu.
No one had faith in Fang Qiu.
They all felt the result of this match was too obvious that Gao Fei would defeat Fang Qiu by far.
But on the other side,
In the crowd, members of the track team saw Fang Qiu and looked at one another in spite of themselves.
”Is that him?”
Asked one track team member, surprised and unsure.
”Maybe.”
Answered another track team member, just as unsure.
”It's him! ”That morning I watched him closely. I'm certain that was him. Absolutely him.”
Said another one, very positively.
Hearing the comments from those track team members,
Other sports special students began to feel curious.
”Who? ”Who are you talking about?”
”Do you guys know him?”
Asked one, pointing at Fang Qiu.
”Not really. I saw him once.”
One of the track team members recalled the situation and replied, ”one morning we met him while training at the Central Lake. He was running there, very fast. Even faster than Gao Fei.”
Hearing that,
The crowd was shocked.
”Holy crap! Faster than Gao Fei?”
A remark of shock came from the crowd.
”Actually, I don't know.”
The track team member put on a wry smile, his heart still fluttering with fear, and said, ”I just remember I met him four times over two laps and every time he ran past us. Gao Fei was sprinting at that time but I didn't look closely which one of them was fast. Anyway, I can tell you that Fang Qiu was pretty badass. I'm not sure if he can beat Gao Fei though.”
Hearing that,
Those sports special students breathed a sigh of relief.
Gao Fei was already very fast. If Fang Qiu was even faster, he would be a monster.
However.
According to that track team member, this Fang Qiu should be alright so he wouldn't suffer too miserable a defeat.
As this thought came to his mind,
Those sports special students, originally with zero interest, now suddenly had expectations.
”According to those track team members, it's going to be an exciting showdown.”
”Getting interesting.”
”If this Fang Qiu is really that good, it would be hard for Gao Fei to keep his reputation as the best in the school.”
”Nonsense. Gao Fei is the best in the entire school. This Gao Fei isn't even specialized in sports. How could he defeat Gao Fei?”
”That's right. The victory is certainly Gao Fei's.”
”I can understand Student Fang Qiu is looking for a challenge, but I just don't get it why he has to pick Gao Fei among so many people in the track team. Why does he want to torture himself?”
”I heard all Chinese Medicine students are kind of weird. Maybe this student Fang Qiu just loves to be abused.”
”Hahah...”
All sorts of comments and secret laughter came from this group of sports special students.
Even with the endorsement of the track team member, they still had no trust in Fang Qiu.
It was agreed that Fang Qiu was doomed to fail in the face of Gao Fei's absolute strength.
Over here,
”Let's warm up first.”
Mr. Ma looked at Fang Qiu and said, ”Gao Fei has been doing physical training here. You are fine.”
”No need.”
Fang Qiu shook his head directly.
”Umm?”
Mr. Ma was surprised. He reprimanded, ”Student Fang Qiu, some warm-up exercise before a run can help you avoid ligament injury and other accidents. Are you sure you want to skip it?”
”Thank you, teacher, for your concern. It's really not necessary.”
Fang Qiu repeated with a nod.
