Report 30

Plot
The gym class continues with the boys switching to doing sprints. On the way to the track Arata asks to see Ryō's results in the handball throw, and it turns out that his results are almost the same as the national average. Ryō explains that he has stayed in shape as he has already been attending the school posing as a student for two years, and reminds Arata that he must keep his condition in mind and not be influenced by the real students around him.

Before sprints Arata stretches his body following Ryō's advice. As he prepares for the run he resolves to stop messing up, or he will never hear the end of it from his classmates. Early on in his run Arata finds himself in the lead and is surprised that he can run so fast, but then he twists his ankle and falls down. Having gotten sizable wounds on his knee and cheek, Arata insists he is all right but despite his protests he gets humiliatingly carried to the infirmary by Nobunaga, and the other students have a good laugh at his expense. In his report Ryō notes that while his constant failures in pretty much everything have earned Arata an unenviable reputation, it might prove to be an excellent way for him to fit in as part of the class.
