After Orimura-sensei stopped me from leaving, she gritted her teeth and apologized for her rash actions, albeit only in whispers.

Well, I only nodded at her and then returned to my previous seat and started the discussion of what would be the activity for today.

That’s the real reason why I went here anyway.

Since I honestly commented that those three drafted activities that I managed to read were no good, Eguchi-sensei didn’t pick that up again and just brainstormed on what to do.

With the remaining time dropping to less than five minutes, I eventually just put out a suggestion to let us play a sport or do some physical fitness exercises like what we did during the first PE class.

I know, teachers should have some kind of lesson plan prepared. Perhaps because of my words back then, Eguchi-sensei eventually scrapped those and she began relying on my opinion.

Before leaving the room, I offered Eguchi-sensei that if she wanted to, I could assist her in recreating her lesson plan.

Orimura-sensei, who settled on just listening in on our discussion – most likely a bit ashamed of how she reacted – supported my words, urging Eguchi-sensei to take up my offer.

She’s still the one who would create it after all so I didn’t think it would take too much of my time. Moreover, I would set aside the time during these moments when I would be acting as her Student Assistant.

About Eguchi-sensei’s certain dilemma that I witnessed, I refrained from mentioning it again. If she would ask me for help on that, I’d surely help her in the capacity of my status as her Student Assistant. More than that, I have to think carefully and decide wisely if associating with her wouldn’t lead to my interest in her developing to the point of falling for her.

Although I couldn’t deny that I was subtly excited about the prospect of being close to more women, restraining my desire had to start with myself.

Even if I’m like this, I very much want to make it right for everyone…

With the 5th period starting which was allocated for the PE for today, everyone showed up in the Gymnasium minutes later.

Taking up my suggestion, Eguchi-sensei, who’s now without a trace of her earlier fragileness, lined us up along with Class 3 as she announced today’s activity.

Basketball.

Nothing special. It’s a plain 3v3 basketball match that would be played in turns.

As for who would play, it’s a random draw. But for the sake of fairness, two matches would be played simultaneously, one for boys and one for girls.

Although substitution couldn’t be done at any moment, Eguchi-sensei appointed two students that would monitor the situation of the players. If they judged that the student was near exhaustion, he or she would be substituted by another student.

And being her Student Assistant, I became one of those two students.

In any case, upon hearing the contents of the activity she decided to hold, I gave her my nod of approval which resulted in her smiling and heaving a sigh of relief. It was done out of the other students’ eyes though.

And just like that, today’s PE activity began with me becoming a mere spectator throughout.

I liked the designation though. It made me free to watch and cheer for my girls, silently.

I didn’t neglect my job, however. As soon as I noticed a student show signs of exhaustion, I would first ask them if they wanted to be substituted.

Although most of them chose to continue, none of the students pushed themselves to the extent of collapsing.

It’s PE, so it’s expected that they would sweat and be trained ‘physically’

Upon seeing that it went smoothly, Eguchi-sensei’s mood gradually brightened until reaching the point of her elation being shown on her face.

As the other students noticed that, they showed surprised expressions, not daring to believe that the terror teacher that they knew could smile naturally, compared to her smirk that looked like she’s enjoying the students’ suffering.

Among the girls, Satsuki naturally shined in the court. With her height and her experience as a basketball player, Class 4 suffered a lot when she’s inside the court.

She eventually left though since the Class 4 were turning gloomy from how many shots she managed to block and how many rebounds she achieved that widened the score gap between the two classes.

Aya only played for a few minutes and she never attempted to shoot. It’s impossible for her after all. Her throws couldn’t reach the basket. She did enjoy passing the ball and that’s enough for her.

Chii skillfully played while keeping her act as the beautiful gyaru. She even kept on teasing the other girls that were playing with her. She became the mood lifter for that, making it a friendly match wherein no one would hold a grudge.

Hina and Saki also performed quite poorly overall but at least, they managed to score and they left the court without being frustrated and exhausted.

As for Nami, the girl tried to outdo Satsuki’s performance.

Unfortunately, she’s not as physically fit as that girl. Although she sent me a few glances as if waiting for me to shout and cheer for her, I could only faintly smile in case someone was observing us.

Since we’re playing with Class 3. Itou and Misaki also entered the court. Itou, despite being a high-class ojou-sama, could play the sport and understood the rules quite excellently. Alas, stamina was also what’s lacking to her.

As for Misaki, the innocent girl enjoyed playing. However, she’s still obsessed with her fringes that keep on covering her forehead despite the hairband she’s wearing.

In the end, I somehow lost my patience at seeing her almost hit by the ball numerous times. I went to Satsuki and borrowed one of her hairpins. Using that, I clipped the forehead girl’s fringes in place.

Although that resulted in whistles and cheers as those witnessing it threw questions if there’s something between us, Misaki giggled and answered it herself by saying, “Ruki is my precious friend.”

Since her class knew how she normally acted, given that they’re already together for more than a month, the clamor immediately died down.

However, because of what I did, I became the one who was somehow put into a wall. Not just Satsuki, the other girls all stared at me as if I did something wrong. They’re either pouting or smirking, waiting for my explanation.

I’m in for trouble later… I smiled bitterly and just accepted that all of my girls would be taking it out on me later.

As for the boys’ side… Well, who cares about them?

Since I’m not among the players, I couldn’t care less about what’s happening on their side.

Sakuma tried to persuade me to play. But with my duty as an excuse, I simply rejected that.

While the girls’ side ended with our class winning with a large gap, thanks to Satsuki, the atmosphere remained great and friendly. They even started talking to each other as soon as the game ended.

The same couldn’t be said to the boys’ side though. It’s like a rivalry between classes happened there as the scores ended with a tie.

In the end, it needed Eguchi-sensei to quell the clamor on that side before announcing the end of the PE class.

I naturally ignored what happened on the boys’ side. What’s important for me was that my girls enjoyed the activity and none of them became too exhausted.

Due to that, I silently whispered my thanks to Eguchi-sensei which she returned with the same words.

Everything went well and she’s truly thankful for that.

I can expect my bonus points, right?
