Seeing Videl sticking close to Gohan's clone only deepened Sharpner's jealousy.
He decided to challenge Gohan. He knew he couldn't beat him academically, but he refused to believe he couldn't outperform him in sports.
Just then, the P.E. teacher blew his whistle, signaling everyone to gather.
The students quickly lined up.
"We have a new student today," the teacher said, noticing Gohan.
"That's right, Mr. Lu. His name is Gohan. He just transferred here today," a student with glasses replied.
"Also, Gohan is the champion of the Junior Division of the World Martial Arts Tournament," Sharpner added loudly.
"Oh? Is that so?"
Mr. Lu looked surprised. Even the Junior Division champion was not something an ordinary student could achieve.
Gohan's clone remained silent.
"Alright, we'll start with two laps around the track!"
"Running again?" some students muttered.
"What's wrong with running? I run twenty laps every day now," someone bragged.
"Twenty laps?"
The complaints immediately stopped.
Sharpner, standing behind Gohan, leaned closer and said, "Since you're the Junior Division champion, you must be fast. How about we race?"
"A race?"
"Yes. Let's see who finishes the two laps first."
"Alright."
"Students, when I blow the whistle, you start!" Mr. Lu announced.
Everyone nodded.
The whistle blew.
Sharpner immediately sprinted forward at full speed. He wanted everyone to see that he wasn't weak either.
Soon, he took the lead.
"Sharpner!" Erasa and the others exclaimed.
They glanced at Gohan.
Gohan was jogging casually at the back, looking completely relaxed. It was impossible to tell whether he was holding back or simply not taking it seriously.
Sharpner soon completed one lap. Seeing Gohan still behind, he felt annoyed. There was no way someone who won the World Martial Arts Tournament's Junior Division could be this slow.
"Gohan, whether you're really strong or not, I've won this time!"
Erasa, running slightly ahead of Gohan, asked, "Didn't you agree to race him? Why are you running so slowly?"
Gohan smiled faintly and said, "If I win too quickly, there won't be any sense of struggle."
"Sense of struggle?"
The next moment, Gohan's body shot forward like a gust of wind.
A wave of air swept across the track. Many students didn't even see him pass; they only felt a strong breeze.
Sharpner suddenly noticed a figure standing ahead of him.
"What?"
It was Gohan.
"Go… Gohan?"
Sharpner stared in disbelief. Just moments ago, he had been nearly a full lap ahead.
Even Mr. Lu was stunned. He exercised regularly, but he couldn't move at that speed.
Gohan finished the two laps effortlessly.
Erasa turned to Videl with sparkling eyes and whispered, "Gohan is amazing. I wonder if he has a girlfriend."
Videl remained silent. Gohan was indeed outstanding, but he was her master. Still, relationships like that weren't unheard of in dramas.
"Damn it!"
Sharpner finished his second lap, fuming. He had wanted to impress Videl, but instead, he had been completely overshadowed.
After the run, it was free activity time.
Unwilling to accept defeat, Sharpner approached Gohan again.
"I lost the race. Let's compete in something else."
"Something else?"
"Yes. Shot put."
"Shot put?"
"We'll see who throws it farther."
"Okay."
Students quickly gathered to watch.
Sharpner brought out two identical shot puts.
"You go first," Gohan said calmly.
"Fine."
Sharpner gripped the shot put, shouted, and threw it with all his strength.
Bang!
The shot put landed.
A student measured the distance. "Seven meters!"
Sharpner smirked. "Your turn, Gohan."
Gohan picked up the shot put and casually tossed it up and down in his hand.
"Have you never done shot put before? Just throw it like I did," Sharpner said mockingly.
"Can I just throw it however I want?" Gohan asked.
Sharpner shrugged. "I don't care how you throw it. If it goes farther than mine, you win."
Gohan nodded. He lightly flicked his wrist and tossed the shot put upward as if it were a pebble.
Sharpner burst into laughter. "If you throw it straight up, it won't go far!"
Suddenly, a student shouted, "The shot put went into the clouds!"
"What?" Sharpner quickly looked up.
The shot put had already pierced through the clouds and vanished from sight.
