How to Live as a mob character in COTE

Swimming Class

"Oh i just do jogging in the morning"

Hirata looked at me for a while and said

"well yiu can participate you know participation is more than winning atleast try I believe in you"

("Believe in me?" I haven't him known him for too long tho I guess he is just as friendly as the novel suggested)

"Ok then I will try"

Hirata left after that

I watched the girls competition and the ranking got announced afterwards

Onodera (23:45 seconds)
Horikita (26:33 seconds)

The first place was taken by onodera (the swimming club girl) and second was taken by horikita.

The boys competition began

Boys were divided in three groups of 6 the one with the least seconds will win the match.

I was at the third group ayanokoji was in the 2nd group I was surprised that he also participated.

The first group's fastest was
sudo(23:05 seconds)

The second group's fastest was
koenji(20:01 seconds)

Ayanokoji had a score of (26:45 seconds)
Obviously he was holding back but he still got in the 5th place overall.

Now it was my groups turn

I took my position

(Well I'm not going to win anyways let's try our best)

the race started and something rather unexpected happened... My body felt rather light when I started swimming and-

I won the game.

My time was (18:40 seconds)

I was very surprised by my performance well I guess I m not the only one. Everyone in the pool was shocked by my performance.

Sudo came to me

"Dude I didn't know u could swim so fast have u done swimming before?"

"Well I did it a bit in the middle school"

"A bit?"

'Onodera' the girl's match champion approached me

"That was not something someone could do without practicing it for years"

"Do you have any intention of joining the swimming club? I m pretty sure you would do great you could easily beat our captain as well"

"I only did swimming for a while in middle school and No , I'm not interested in joining any club"

"Well its a shame"

she left after saying that

After that I got bombarded by questions by the boys.

"Bro that was so cool you were so fast that the other guys looked like they weren't even trying"

"Just how many years did u practice swimming?"

" you lied bout only jogging didn't you?"

I looked at hirata to save me he looked at me and understood his job.

"Look guys you are making him uncomfortable just leave him be if he is not comfortable with saying something just leave him"

(Comfortable? I don't even know how I did that)

Everyone then finally moved away then hirata approached me

"Thank you for saving me"

"Its nothing but you were rather fast than what you told me you sure that you only did a bit of swimming?"

"Yeah, I only swam like 3-4 months in the 1st year of my middle school"

Hirata looked at for a while and then said

"OK...... If you say so"

And the day came to an end

I took a shower and went directly to the bed

("Today was a weird day")

"hey catch him don't let him get away"

"What are you all doing don't let him go"

"He's most precious subject , catch him"

"Run away yoshida"

And I woke up

("What was that dream? who were those guys? why was I running? Whose body is this ? Why did they call me a precious subject?")
