Capítulo 2212: A Resounding Success

While Tadano was still being guided by Shimura toward the goal, we moved to the side, trying to avoid drawing too much attention to ourselves.

"Ruu, you always surprise everyone when you join an activity. Are you Superman?" Nami teased, her playful tone cutting through the background noise.

So, in her eyes, I was already something like a superhuman?

"Nope. I’m Batman," I jokingly answered with a deadpan expression, drawing more laughter from the group.

Satsuki, who had been watching the final leg with folded arms, walked up, her signature grumpy expression plastered on her face. “Don’t get cocky just because you kept up, Ruki. Next time, I’ll race you.”

I raised an eyebrow, playing along. “Race? Satsuki. Spare me the humiliation.”

Truthfully, if it were a marathon, I might have a chance due to my stamina. But in a sprint? Satsuki would probably leave me in the dust. She was that quick.
