Chapter 946: Let The Games Begin!

On the field.
Rachel stood in the center of the stage, exuding grace. She briefly introduced the big guests who were present. Of course, these guests had all been invited by Connor alone—all the other sponsors that were invited by others were not qualified to be introduced by Rachel.
After introducing the guests, it was time for the guest speeches.
Although the guests present were not prepared, they were already used to such an occasion.
Therefore, when they went on stage to give a speech, he also acted naturally.
After about half an hour, the guests had finished speaking, and the school sports meet had officially begun.
The students in the school also ran to their corresponding locations to prepare for the competitions.
Eunice Tanner hesitated for a moment before she walked over to Connor’s side and whispered to him, “Connor, you’re participating in a total of four events. Three of them will be held later on.”
Connor’s thoughts were interrupted by Eunice’s words. He turned his head and whispered, “There should be enough time to make it to all of them…”
“If you can’t make it in time, you can choose to give up. After all, you called over so many sponsors today. It shouldn’t matter even if you give up!” Eunice reminded Connor softly.
“Why give up? It’s just a few matches. It’s nothing to me!”
Connor smiled faintly. At this time, Connor did not seem to be in the mood to consider these questions at all. After all, his mind was filled with reasons as to why Rachel wanted to expose his identity. What was her goal?
“Since you don’t have any questions, that’s good…”
Eunice took a deep breath and nodded lightly.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the broadcast on the sports field.
“Students who are participating in the 100-meter sprint, please gather at Fielr No. 5!”
The 100-meter race was the most eye-catching event in the school sports meet because it was the quickest and most exciting event. Naturally, such an event had to be placed at the beginning of the school sports meet as the opening show.
“Connor, the match is about to start. I’ll take you to the venue!”
Eunice said to Connor.
“Sure!”
Connor nodded his head lightly and then walked directly towards Field No. 5.
Connor had always used this time to deliver food during the previous school sports meet, so he had never participated in it. Naturally, he was not very familiar with the general processes of the event. If it wasn’t for Eunice leading the way, Connor might not even have found the competition venue.
After arriving at the competition venue, Eunice helped Connor register with the student-in-charge, and then got Connor a number.
Under normal circumstances, students who came to participate in the 100-meter race would wear their preferred sportswear, shoes, and the like. After all, these things could allow you to perform at your best. The number issued by the school would be pasted on your back.
However, Connor was an exception. At this time, Connor was wearing a casual suit. He didn’t even have the most important nail shoes for sprinting, let alone professional sportswear. At this time, Connor was only wearing a pair of canvas shoes.
Therefore, when the other sprinting students saw Connor’s outfit, they all showed a puzzled expression. After all, it was the first time they saw someone appear in the 100-meter sprint like this.
However, these people also knew that Connor was in the talk of the school today. So many sponsors had been invited by Connor alone, which meant that Connor definitely had some background. These people did not dare to take the initiative to mock Connor.
If it was in the past, those students would have already thought of ways to mock Connor.
At this moment, a boy took the initiative to walk in front of Connor and said to Connor with a smile, “Connor, did you not prepare any sportswear and shoes?”
“No…”
Connor lightly shook his head.
When Eunice heard the boy’s words, a trace of nervousness flashed across her eyes. Only then did she realize that she had not prepared any sportswear for Connor.
“I still have a spare set over there. Why don’t you go see if they suit you? If they do, I can lend them to you!” the boy continued.
After all, Connor was now a celebrity in the school. It was normal for someone to take the initiative to curry favor with him.
“…”
Eunice quickly turned her head to look at the boy, a trace of gratitude flashing in her eyes. After all, if Connor really participated in the competition like this, it would be a little too funny.
However, before Eunice could agree, Connor shook his head and refused.
“No need. I think my current clothes are quite good!”
“Connor, you can’t change into sportswear, but you should at least change into nail shoes. After all, they can help you run faster…”
Eunice quickly reminded him softly.
“I’m already a fast runner…”
Connor looked at Eunice with a faint smile and rejected her again.
Eunice looked at Connor’s expression and felt helpless. However, she thought about how Connor had already called so many sponsors today. The students in the class did not dare to look down on Connor. So, even if Connor really got the last place later, it should not matter.
She did not continue to say anything after that
The others felt that Connor was only here to go through the motions and not to participate in the sports meet for the sake of ranking, so they did not continue to persuade Connor.
At this moment, a man in white sportswear walked onto the track.
When the man appeared, everyone gathered around him and took the initiative to chat with him.
On the school’s big screen, there was a close-up of this man, and in an instant, deafening cheers came from the field.
This man was none other than Fergus Long!
Although Connor had stolen Fergus’s limelight at the school gate just now, Fergus was still the president of Porthampton University’s student council. He was handsome and came from a wealthy family. He was also the champion of the 100-meter sprint in the past two years, so Fergus was very popular.
Fergus simply greeted everyone, then narrowed his eyes and looked at Connor. A strange look flashed across his eyes.
Fergus didn’t believe that Connor really was going to participate in all four events, but now that he saw Connor appear on the field, he knew that it was true.
