After class monitor Ma Jianhua finished speaking, the class erupted in an uproar!
"How could you do this!"
"Class monitor, you can't force us to participate in the competition! We want freedom and equality!"
The students below started to jeer.
However, the class committee's approach did work; some students with weak wills who were already wavering between signing up and not signing up began to sign up.
Instead of waiting for the class committee to randomly assign you a competition, it's better to choose one that you're more confident in.
The herd mentality in humans is taken to its extreme here.
Seeing that some classmates started to sign up voluntarily, and with the class committee constantly putting pressure on them, those classmates who were worried that if everyone else signed up and they didn't, they would be isolated and randomly assigned projects by the class committee started to panic.
As a result, more and more boys began to succumb to the pressure and started discussing which program to sign up for.
Finally, apart from three holdouts who were determined to oppose the class committee and refused to sign up, 15 out of the 18 boys in the class signed up and chose a competition for themselves.
Zhang Yuan is one of those people who avoids participating in competitions whenever possible.
School sports meet?
He didn't want to participate in something so boring.
Instead of participating in the school sports meet, why not cultivate, refine elixirs, or comprehend the mysteries of formations? Which of those is far more appealing than participating in the sports meet?!
But since things had come to this point, and the class committee members had already pulled out all the stops, Zhang Yuan didn't want to go too far and planned to just sign up for any project to get by.
On the registration form, he randomly ticked the 50-meter sprint event next to his name!
He then took it upstairs to hand in the report.
The 50-meter sprint is a relatively simple event in the competition, which doesn't take much time and suits Zhang Yuan's perfunctory attitude.
After the registration forms are collected.
The Youth League branch secretary, Chu Mengyao, and the class monitor, Ma Jianhua, were very satisfied after reviewing the projects submitted by everyone!
Let's leave those three troublemakers for now!
With so many people participating, regardless of the results, at least the college counselors can report back, and the class committee of Chinese Class 1 won't leave a bad impression on the counselors and college leaders that they are incompetent!
In the classroom, the students were noisily discussing what events they had signed up for and how they would just go through the motions at the sports meet.
On the other side, after Chu Mengyao finished reading the registration form, she tugged at Ma Jianhua's sleeve, pointed to a name on the form, and said something to the class monitor.
Ma Jianhua beamed with joy after hearing this.
"Mengyao, you're so thoughtful!"
Then, Ma Jianhua signaled for everyone to be quiet.
"Class, please be quiet!"
"Although the number of people in our class who signed up has increased, Chu Mengyao and I just discussed it and we think that there is someone in our class who has particularly good physical fitness. If he can sign up for more events, our class should achieve good results in this sports meet!"
Ma Jianhua said with a smile, then turned his gaze to Zhang Yuan, who was sitting in the last row, resting his chin on his hand, waiting boredly for the class meeting to end.
After class monitor Ma Jianhua said this, almost all the students in the class thought of who this person was at the same time!
That's Zhang Yuan!
Last semester, Zhang Yuan's amazing performance in the college and school basketball games demonstrated his superb athletic ability, which is still fresh in the minds of all his classmates!
At the time, it shocked many students so much that their jaws almost dropped!
His jumping ability and running speed were far superior to those of the other students in the class. Despite having such excellent physical qualities, he only hastily signed up for the 50-meter sprint event!
This won't do!
So when the class monitor said Zhang Yuan's name, everyone in the class looked at Zhang Yuan with ill intent!
Zhang Yuan, a person who usually doesn't stand out in class, suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention. Even though he was a powerful Golden Core cultivator at the beginning stage, he felt a little uneasy at this moment.
So, Zhang Yuan's face suddenly turned red!
He was about to retort, but for a moment he didn't know how to do so.
It seems the class monitor is right!
"Classmates, I suggest that Zhang Yuan, in addition to the 50-meter sprint, should also participate in the high jump, the standing long jump, and the men's 5000-meter race!"
Do you all agree?
Agreed!
Agreed!
"Zhang Yuan is so talented, his participation will definitely help the class get more rankings!"
The classmates all joined in the commotion, talking without any sense of responsibility!
Poor Zhang Yuan was about to object when his voice was drowned out by the unanimous approval of his classmates.
Finally, Zhang Yuan was forced to register for: high jump, standing long jump, and men's 5000-meter race!
Zhang Yuan wanted to cry but had no tears!

As the sun set, the school's art building was bathed in a soft golden light.
Zeng Jingxue and Gao Yifan finished practicing their piano and came out of the art building. They walked through the campus, where cherry blossoms were in full bloom, just like a couple in love.
The beautiful girl and handsome boy duo attracted frequent glances from their classmates.
As Gao Yifan passed the school auditorium, he saw a burly, middle-aged man in a suit standing under the red cherry blossoms in the roadside green belt.
The middle-aged man looked around, as if searching for something.
His attire and age made him seem unlike someone from school. As Gao Yifan and Zeng Jingxue passed by, he frequently winked at Gao Yifan.
"Jingxue, I have something to do. Wait for me here for a moment."
Gao Yifan looked into Zeng Jingxue's bright eyes and spoke gently.
After spending more than half a month together, Gao Yifan could feel that the school beauty's feelings for him were growing stronger.
For a man, what could be more interesting than conquering a beautiful and charming girl?
Gao Yifan walked to the edge of the green belt, and the middle-aged man lowered his head and whispered, "Young Master."
He wanted to say something more, but Gao Yifan gestured for him to walk forward.
The two walked further away, and when Gao Yifan saw that no one was around, he asked, "What is it?"
"Young Master, we searched the Zeng family's residence three times, but we haven't found any clues about that treasure!"
Therefore, I suspect that the treasure might be on Zeng Jingxue!
Gao Yifan's eyes sharpened.
He glanced back at Zeng Jingxue, who was playing on her phone in the distance, and said, "I understand. Continue to monitor the Zeng family."
"Your subordinate obeys!"
The middle-aged man in a suit replied.
To avoid attracting attention, Gao Yifan added, "You should go back now. Unless it's something important, you don't need to come to school to see me!"
"clear!"
After the middle-aged man left, Gao Yifan adjusted his expression, transforming back into the handsome, sunny, and polite young man from the music department, and walked towards Zeng Jingxue.
"Is everything taken care of?"
Zeng Jingxue took off her headphones, looked at Gao Yifan's handsome face, and smiled until her eyes turned into crescent moons.
"Yes, a friend is coming over, there's something I need to discuss."
"let's go."
Gao Yifan said.
Zeng Jingxue glanced at the man in the suit. Although she was a little curious, she didn't ask any questions and happily walked away with Gao Yifan.
As Zeng Jingxue passed by the playground, she saw many students training and preparing for the sports meet, and said:
Yi Fan, did you sign up for any events at the sports meet this time?
"Of course! We should definitely participate in things that bring honor to our class and college."
Zeng Jingxue was quite satisfied with Gao Yifan's answer; he was a boy with a sense of responsibility and collective honor.
"What project did you sign up for?"
"50-meter sprint, long jump, and 5000-meter long-distance run."
"That's a lot! You'd better keep it up!"
"Unfortunately, sports have always been a weak point in our art school."
Zeng Jingxue encouraged Gao Yifan while expressing her feelings.
Every year at the school's sports meet, the School of Arts consistently ranks last or second to last, much like the School of Humanities, another unfortunate school.
Both colleges are humanities-oriented, and students don't like sports, so they are naturally weak in competitive sports.
Gao Yifan smiled slightly.
"With me participating this year, I'm sure I can win more awards for my class and college!"
