Chapter 232: Activities at the Activity Center

“Do you want to compete in this?” Lilith didn’t think much of these simple things, giving Little Veil a provocative look.

Seeing that a month was about to pass, Little Veil, who still hadn’t decided on the duel project, was overjoyed, but still feigned reserved and nodded lightly in agreement. The others didn’t know about their arrangement, but the proxy elf had already confirmed their competition project.

After a slight stretch, Little Veil softly asked, “You first, or me first?”

“You go first, I still need to observe carefully.” Although it looked simple, she couldn’t discern the strength of the child from earlier. Lilith knew that anyone who could stand here was certainly not simple, very likely one of the little monsters from the Everything Store.

“Then I’ll go first, remember to time me.” Little Veil didn’t act modest. Amidst the cheers of Fittman and Angor, he walked to the front, spreading his arms out to maintain balance. He walked very steadily across the balance beam to the first platform, without a single dangerous moment.

Little Veil continued without stopping, leaning slightly forward. As he grabbed the first trapeze ring, he swung forward, then immediately grabbed the second ring. Maintaining the rhythm of advancing and quickly switching rings, he swiftly completed the second stage.

In the third stage, Little Veil used a continuous jump method to successfully clear it in one go, taking even less time than the first two stages.

For the fourth stage, he charged straight through, not even looking at the path beneath his feet. He continuously threw punches, sending the few sandbags flying. By the time they returned, he had already successfully passed.

The fifth stage was more thrilling. Each time Little Veil jumped up, he needed to balance himself before making a second jump. Finally, he reached the end without major incident and then walked back from the other direction.

“It doesn’t look very difficult, does it?” Fittman, seeing others doing the work, was making sarcastic remarks, and Angor kicked him out, telling the scoundrel to go try it himself.

As the leader of the Mirdis Junior Academy’s newspaper club, he certainly had the right to step forward, but this idiot was clearly not an athletic type. He only took three or five steps on the first stage before directly doing a side-fall, landing on the suspended beast hide, and even bounced a bit before stopping. This scoundrel actually got addicted to it, bouncing around on the suspended beast hide and refusing to come down, until he was grabbed by the collar by the monstrously strong Loli and thrown down, completely losing face.

Angor walked very steadily across the balance beam, but standing on the platform, he found a slide on each side, corresponding to the boys’ and girls’ activity rooms. So he waved to the students opposite the balance beam: “You guys take your time, I’m going to the activity room to play first.” Then he slid down the slide.

But this idiot actually slid down face-down, making Little Veil’s forehead twitch. He had seen stupid people, but never this stupid.

Hearing Angor’s screams, the other students burst into laughter. Little Veil walked over in a few steps, sat down on the slide, and slid down, almost stepping on Angor. Fortunately, that scoundrel was thick-skinned and didn’t have any major problems.

Fittman, the failure, rushed into the first activity room. The activities here were very simple, all basic indoor equipment: balance beams, parallel bars, seesaws, long jump sandpits, jump ropes, resistance bands, climbing frames, inversion tables, high-touch boards, suspended sandbags, dumbbells, barbells, and other fundamental items.

Each item had simple instructions, and soon other students continuously entered, either by passing or failing. Everyone was very interested in these strange things. That scoundrel Fittman occupied one end of the seesaw, and no one could lift him up. Finally, he incurred public wrath and was jointly lifted into the air by several boys.

“The second one, the second one!” After seeing the items in the first activity room, everyone was even more interested in the things in the second stage. Moreover, passing the first stage was not difficult; as long as you passed the first stage, even if you failed the second stage, you could still enter the second activity room.

The second activity room featured dodgeball. This game required simple teamwork and was excellent for training reaction speed.

The balls used were hollow beast-hide balls, which didn’t hurt when they hit you. Angor really liked this game. Besides standard dodgeball, there was also a more extreme way to play: drawing a circle, with one person dodging while multiple people threw. Angor, reading this description, felt his blood boil, and then he was surrounded and pelted by a group of people.

More intense sports like ball games also required professional equipment. Due to space limitations, tennis was difficult, and because of the short distance, reaction speed had to be even faster.

The fourth activity room featured collision ball, a game that had just emerged in the city guard, which was more barbaric and passionate. The girls’ side, however, had basketball.

The fifth activity room featured baseball, but this was not the baseball as commonly known. Each person had a bat, one pitcher, and one fixed target. The pitcher threw the ball at high speed towards the batter, who would hit the ball. Hitting the target scored two points, and merely hitting the ball scored two points. The two sides would switch positions and compete against each other.

Besides that, there was another way to play: baseball batting. Each person held a bat and stood on opposite sides, with a wooden board in the middle that had a hole. The two would hit a ball, and each time it had to pass through the hole and be hit back. If the ball landed, was missed, or didn’t go through the hole, it counted as a failure.

Each stage was more difficult than the last, and the intensity of the activities increased accordingly. Today was the first day it was open, and everyone was allowed to go from the first stage to the fifth. However, those who didn’t pass the test could only watch and not touch. Angor luckily passed the fourth stage, and although he failed the fifth, he entered through the upper passage, fortunately becoming the first boy besides Little Veil who could experience baseball.

Wielding the bat and hitting baseballs, Angor felt his blood boil. He then voluntarily challenged Little Veil, and in the end, in a baseball batting match, he was completely defeated zero to ten.

Happy times always pass quickly. The students, still wanting more, left reluctantly. Before they left, the director of instruction loudly announced that the top three clubs with the best performance each month would receive a free chance to play here, and at the end of the semester, the top ten students in each grade would receive a weekly pass, allowing them to play here for seven consecutive days.

This stimulating reward caused many students to shout in unison, eagerly preparing to win these prizes. Some students with pocket money were very interested in the dolls, hamburgers, and iced fruit juices, and bought some. Other students wanted to buy those cute pets, but unfortunately, this expense would be a bit larger and required their parents to make the purchase.

With that, the Drake Youth Activity Center officially opened, and it was officially confirmed that the items inside were easily liked by students, regardless of gender. Lilith tried three times, and each time she was able to successfully clear the stages, but she could never control the timing well, ultimately having to admit defeat, allowing Little Veil to win a round at the last moment.

The first day of operation was a loss-leader, trading money for publicity. In the following days, Little Veil invited Yuna Peck and held her new product launch here, along with a fashion show, which attracted the interest of many noble ladies and young women.

Then, Lyte Kendar presided over the Drake City Education Conference, inviting many school principals and directors to discuss and actively promote the policy of comprehensive development in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor, while also publicizing the fitness programs here.

As the Drake Youth Activity Center’s reputation grew, the projects it undertook became more upscale. Little Veil opened the entrance to the underground activity room on the side, and shops also opened there. The front was decorated even more grandly and magnificently, and it quickly became one of Drake City’s landmarks. Students from various middle schools also came in droves, and finally, students from Drake High School also joined in, making this place a true sanctuary in the hearts of students.

The beast tamers, cat girls, police dogs, and black market dealers suddenly saw their businesses boom, making them smile all day long. Only the singer was unemployed; his skill level was insufficient and he was crushed by the new team. Still looking for the free novel “The Boy Wizard’s Troubles”?
