Despite the odd hiccup, the boys participating in the Hell Hell Marathon are connected together by a single rope.
As I am thinking to myself, “I look like a prisoner,” I see Mr. Nick Bakker standing next to me with a rope tied around him.
As soon as our eyes met, I am immediately entangled.
“MEAT! ”Sensei you’re joining us too?” That’s the look on your face, celebrity!”
“No, not really.”
I tell him the truth, but it seem to have rubbed him the wrong way.
Nick Bakker-sensei stares at me and whispers.
“The last time you embarrassed me in P.E., ……! You’ve got to be careful not to get carried away. …… I’m not only good at fighting, I’m also good at endurance running ……! I don’t know if I can keep up with a military-grade marathon. ……?”
“Well, I’ll do my best.”
“You can’t afford to be complacent now!”
Nick Bakker-sensei looks up and shouts to all the students in the schoolyard.
“And so, the ‘Hell Marathon’ begins! There is no course in this ‘Hell Marathon’! We will leave this schoolyard and run north and north until the last person gives up! All non-athletes are free to do as they please! Students, are you done with your warm-up exercises? Line up at the starting line!”
We line up in front of the white line drawn in the middle of the schoolyard, with Mr. Nick Bakker in the center.
“After my signal, you will plug your ears while running! Let’s go! Let the ‘Hell Marathon’ begin!”
Before he could finish his announcement, Nick Bakker-sense started running like he was caught off guard.
I follow him and put in my earplugs.
Just before the sound was cut off, I hear a yell.
“Oh my god, that piece of trash, seriously, this time it’s over. ……!”
“You know, all the selected members were on the track team in junior high school, right?”
“Yeah, if I ran at the same pace as those guys, I’d be exhausted in no time and dragged along!”
“You’ll be torn to shreds like a piece of trash! This is going to be fun! Ha-ha-ha-ha!”
My eardrums are almost contaminated by the vulgar laughter, but the yellow cheers purified them.
“Good luck, Leo! “”I wish you good luck, Master!”
As I wave back to them, I think of them and get ready.
I activate the “Dexterous Job Change” skill of “Poor Dexterity” and change my occupation to one where I would be good at running.
In addition, I activate my “Dexterous Body” skill to ensure that I have the necessary stats to run a marathon.

For now, a thousand of “Endurance” and “Agility” would be good.
The next thing I know , the leading group has left the school grounds, and I am in a ditch.
The men in front of me were pulling me along like a dog on a sled.
Everyone would occasionally look back and say, “Watch this ……!” They look at me with hostility.
