Chapter 15 Tug of War
Junior high school is an important stage before the turning point of the college entrance examination. It is not as heavy as high school, nor as free and arbitrary as elementary school.

At this stage, teachers and parents pay more attention to the all-round development of students' morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor, especially in famous schools like Jinlin Junior High School.

So one week before the monthly exam, the school organized a tug-of-war competition, and all students from grade one to grade three participated.

"Boss, please show mercy. Our Class 2 might face off against your Class 1." On the playground, Lei Hongzhe came up to Su Lie and said.

Because he has been practicing the aerobics taught by Su Lie, this guy is now much stronger than his peers. I guess no one would doubt that he is a high school student.

"Haha, I'll let you win for sure, but I'll also see your strength, so don't embarrass yourself then." Su Lie chuckled. Although tug-of-war competitions depend on teamwork, this only applies to those people in the team who are not out of the ordinary.

People like Su Lie and Lei Hongzhe can bring overwhelming advantages to any team they join.

"Of course, I am also the sports committee member of the class. This time, I will let you see my strength."

Lei Hongzhe had no doubt about Su Lie's words. Until now, the scene of Su Lie easily dealing with Zhu Rulong and others was still deeply imprinted in his mind. He did not think that Su Lie, who was teaching him, would be worse than himself.

Because the competition had not started yet, students from each class found people they knew to chat with, and the conversation between the two was naturally heard by other students.

"Huh! What a boast." A student from another class said unconvinced after hearing this.

"I know that tall guy. He's the physical education teacher of Class 2, and his name is Lei Hongzhe. This guy is indeed strong, but how can Su Lie be so strong? He doesn't look very strong." Someone who knew Lei Hongzhe said, but expressed doubt about Su Lie's words.

"really……"

In fact, if we only look at the body shape, Su Lie does not look as strong as Lei Hongzhe, but his height is not shorter than the other. And because of his extraordinary life level, Su Lie's external shape can be said to be almost perfect.

This has also meant that Su Lie has never lacked little fans around him from kindergarten to now. Even though everyone has just started school and hasn't had time to show their talents, Su Lie's popularity in the school has already risen to a high level.

The girls admired him highly, while most of the boys were jealous of him and hated him to the core.

"What's the point of just talking? Let's meet on the field if you have the guts." An abrupt voice interrupted the topic, attracting several people to turn their heads and look.

"Xiao Chong, I know you are the monitor of the class, but there is no need to defend your classmates like this. We are telling the truth, Su Lie is just bragging."

"Hehe." Hearing this, Xiao Chong did not continue to fight back. Instead, he lowered his head and laughed softly, then turned and left as if he was disdainful of arguing with them.

Seeing Xiao Chong's attitude, the students behind him felt like they had punched cotton and became even angrier.

"Why is he so arrogant? Does he really think his class is the champion? So what if he is Su Lie? We are not those girls. We will not give in to him on the field!"

"that is……"

The commotion here was quite loud, so it naturally attracted the attention of many other students. After some understanding, everyone roughly understood the cause and effect, and naturally, some indignant students exaggerated the information.

They were originally a group of proud teenagers who always thought they were no less than others. After learning about Su Lie's "boasting" and Xiao Chong's boasting, they held their breath and looked at Class 1 and Su Lie with different eyes.

As for the gazes on him, Su Lie just pretended not to notice them, and he didn't take the few traces of extremely faint malice he sensed in his heart to heart. Since the other party dared to plot against him, he should be prepared to be taught a lesson by him.

At nine o'clock in the morning, after an impassioned speech by the school leaders, the tug-of-war competition officially began.

The two teams used a draw to decide their opponents, and the three grades competed separately, but boys and girls were not separated.

However, the number of students in each class is different. In order to ensure fairness, we will try to keep the number of boys and girls on both sides the same. There are eight classes in the first grade, which can form four teams for the competition.

The first to play were Class 4 and Class 7. After some adjustments, although the number of male and female students in the two classes was the same, Class 4 won easily due to physical reasons. Then came Class 3 and Class 2. Needless to say, with the support of Lei Hongzhe, the super guy, Class 2 won easily.

Next are Class 5 and Class 6, and after they finish it’s Class 1 and Class 8.

Compared to the other three games, this one seemed a little different. As soon as he came on the court, Su Lie felt the overwhelming momentum of the opposing team. Since Su Lie was arranged in the first position, he bore the brunt of the attack.

Looking at the boys staring at him with unyielding eyes, and the girls looking at him angrily, Su Lie also felt a little funny. He understood that under the calculation of Xiao Chong, he had offended everyone.

However, since you treat me as the devil, don't blame me for being ruthless.

"Beep!" Along with the whistle, the sound of mountains and seas cheered simultaneously.

"Class 8, come on! Class 8, come on!"

Almost at the same time, except for the two participating classes, the other six classes cheered for Class 8. This peculiar scene attracted all teachers and students, including the teams from the other two grades that were participating in the competition.

The atmosphere was one-sided, and Class 8 seemed to be the embodiment of justice. Amid the cheers, the students of Class 8 put in all their efforts. Boys and girls alike had red faces, and they pushed their legs against the ground, wishing they could plow a big hole in the ground, just to defeat the team led by the "big devil" on the other side.

However, although the spirit can be transformed into strength, this strength is really pitifully small in Su Lie's eyes. He is like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea, holding the rope with both hands, his feet rooted to the ground, and even his body posture has not changed.

The group of students behind him originally thought they were doomed to lose when faced with the overwhelming momentum of Class Eight, but they did not expect that the power coming from the opposite side was unusually stable, and was not the irresistible force they had imagined.

"Students, you can start fighting back now. Just use all your strength, I'll take care of everything."

Calm words came from the front, and the students who were closer were all startled when they heard them. They looked up at the back of the man facing the surging momentum, and at the hemp rope in his hand that was shaking like a dragon but still unable to escape.

Although he is the one who bears the brunt of the pain, he is still comforting and encouraging us. So, what qualifications do we have to continue to be idlers!
"Ah! Classmates, push harder!" Someone shouted, and then suddenly exerted force. Although the students standing at the back didn't know what was happening, they saw that the students in front were all working hard, so they followed suit and exerted all their strength.

This sudden change made Su Lie stunned. He just didn't want to perform a solo, so he reminded the students behind him to work hard. He didn't expect it to have such an effect.

With a smile on his lips, Su Lie added a little more strength to his hands, and then retreated steadily.

"No!"

"do not want!"

“Everyone, try your best! Defeat the great devil Su Lie!” Someone on the other side howled, and then slogans of “Defeat the great devil Su Lie” rang out one after another.

Su Lie was so upset after hearing this that he exerted force again, and the red rope tied to the hemp rope completely entered the marked area of ​​Class 1.

"Beep! The game is over, Class 1 wins!"

"Oh! We won! We won!" The students in Class 1 were so excited that they cheered one after another. It was just an ordinary victory in the tug-of-war game, but they felt happier than any other victory in the past.

Compared to the joy of Class 1, Class 8 seemed gloomy. After all, they had such a huge momentum, but they didn't expect that justice would be defeated by evil in the end. Some students couldn't help crying.

However, although Class 8 lost, there were still Class 4, Class 2 and Class 5. When Class 4 and Class 2 came on stage, the students from the other classes still shouted and cheered. Unfortunately, in the face of absolute strength, all these seemed pale and powerless, so that when Class 5 came on stage, there was no cheering, and in the end, they were defeated directly and cleanly.

Class 1 won four games in a row and finally deservedly became the champions of the competition.
