Chapter 29: Exam for National Second-Class Athlete (2/2)

Dabing Sun looked around and answered in low voice, ”The one in the light blue shirt with the suit pants.”

Most of the coaches here wore sportswear, but Shouren Zhao's outfit stood out, so much so that Dai Li noticed him right away.

Shouren Zhao! He fired me for no reason. Let's compete today and see whose students are better! Dai Li's eyes were burning with passion. He was ready for the fight. He looked at his students and couldn't wait for Haiyang Chen and Qingliang Xu to take their exam.

These two students were Dai Li's trump card. Because he knew that their talents levels were a C in the 100m sprint, he had trained them even harder. And they didn't let him down. The improvements they made were much better than the other six students.

…

The proctor called the test numbers. The eight students who were in the first group walked to the desk and registered.

Congyan Lu really has bad luck. How could he be divided into the first group? That's the most difficult race because the students are not ready for the exam yet, but they have to be on the running track. And they carry a ton of pressure because everybody's attention is on them. I can only wish him good luck. Go for it, Congyan Lu! Dai Li silently cheered for him. Suddenly, he saw a familiar face.

Isn't that Youcai Wu? He was in the free trial for one day. Then his mother said that I would waste his time, and she put him in the training class at the sports school. I wonder how his training was there. I didn't expect him to be in the first group. I remember that he was much faster than Congyan Lu two months ago. I could use this chance to compare the training results between the sports school and myself to see who is better!

Dai Li looked at the running track anxiously. The eight students were ready to begin in front of the starting line.

…

Shouren Zhao sat among the audience. A coach named Zhou began to introduce the people in the race to him, saying, ”There are two students in the first group are from our school.”

”I know him. Youcai Wu, right? It was said that he was the top student at the beginning of the class. But it turned out that he was not when he actually ran. Even I feel ashamed for him. How is his ability now after two months of training?” Shouren Zhao asked.

”He is average. His record is always around the passing line. If he performs well, he might pass the exam. The other examinee is just like him. They need some luck to pass the exam,” Coach Zhou explained.

”Luck? I doubt they will have it since they have been put in the first group, which means they don't really have good luck. There is no way that the students in the first group can perform well. They should thank God if they are able to perform like they usually do. I'm afraid these two students might be unable to pass. Such bad luck to be put in the first group…” Shouren Zhao said.

The proctor shouted, ”Everyone, ready…”

All the students got ready. With the sound of the gun, the eight students took off at the same time. Meanwhile, Dai Li pressed the button on his timer.
