Chapter 949: Finals!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Connor, you’re really amazing. I didn’t expect you to advance to the finals. How did you do it?”
Just as Connor was about to head to the field, Eunice suddenly ran to Connor’s side and shouted excitedly.
“I was just lucky earlier. It just so happened that my opponents were weaker…” Connor turned to look at Eunice and replied in a very low-key manner.
“What do you mean, ‘lucky’? I saw it just now. You were really fast! If you did not start a little slower, you might have advanced with the first place in the group just now. It seems that you weren’t bragging and are really quite powerful…”
At this moment, Eunice’s face was filled with excitement. After all, Connor’s performance was indeed very surprising.
Even if Connor ran last in the finals, it didn’t matter now!
“Haha…”
When Connor heard Eunice’s words, he couldn’t help but smile lightly, but he didn’t say anything. He felt that it was better not to explain this kind of thing because the more he explained, the more troublesome it would be.
“Alright, Connor, I’ll take you to the field. You don’t have to be too nervous during the finals. As long as you can finish the race, it doesn’t matter even if you’re last!” Eunice said happily as she tugged at Connor.
“I’m not here for the last place today. Since I’m participating, I’ll definitely get first place!” Connor replied calmly.

If Connor had said that before, Eunice would definitely think that Connor was bragging. However, at this time, she no longer had such thoughts because she knew that Connor did have the skill to back his words up.
A moment later, Connor followed Eunice to the venue of the finals.
There were less than five minutes left before the finals would start, and everyone was warming up.
Because Eunice wasn’t a contestant, she naturally couldn’t stay by Connor’s side.
When Connor showe upd, the students in the school suddenly realized that Connor, who was wearing casual clothes and jeans, had really advanced to the finals!
This was the first time someone had appeared in the finals dressed like this!
“Connor, you can do it!”
“Connor, you’re the most handsome!”
When the girls in Connor’s class saw Connor appear, they also began to shout his name.
Connor turned his head to look at his class and found that everyone was staring at him. He seemed to have never experienced such a feeling before; after all, he was just a poor loser in the eyes of these students. No one paid attention to Connor at all, and no one would cheer for him from the bottom of their hearts.
However, Connor had clearly become the focus of everyone’s attention!
Fergus looked at Connor with an extremely complicated expression!
Previously, during the opening of the school sports meet, Connor had invited so many heavyweight guests to steal Fergus’s limelight.
And now that Connor had advanced to the finals, even more people were paying attention to him. It was then that Fergus secretly swore that he could not lose to Connor, no matter what!
Fergus felt that if he could break the school’s sprint record, the students in the school would pay attention to him.
“Contestants, please get ready on your respective tracks!”
At this moment, the referee’s voice sounded.
After hearing this, the participants in the finals headed to the starting line and prepared themselves.
Connor was still standing there quietly. His expression was very calm, forming a very sharp contrast with the nervousness on the faces of the other players.
It wasn’t difficult for Connor to win the finals. However, what he was thinking about now was how fast he should win the championship. He couldn’t run too fast, nor could he run too slowly.
In the end, Connor thought of a simple method, which was to do it like the group competition.
Fergus was definitely the fastest—he was the champion of three consecutive school sports games, so Connor only needed to follow behind Fergus and surpass him at the end. In this way, Connor would be able to win the championship, and his results would not be too shocking.
Otherwise, if Connor used too much strength and broke the world sprint record, things would be troublesome.
A few minutes later, the sprint finals finally began.
This time, Connor’s start was very smooth. Although he was still half a beat slower than the others, it was already much better than the group stage.
After the finals began, almost everyone’s attention was on Fergus and Connor.
After all, Fergus was the previous sprinting champion. This time, he was aiming to break the school record of 10.08 seconds. Naturally, many people were watching Fergus closely.
Of course, there were also some people who placed their attention on Connor.
It was unbelievable that Connor could advance to the finals. They all wanted to see what kind of result he could achieve in the end.
Fergus’s speed was indeed very fast—in the blink of an eye, he had pulled some distance away from the other contestants and was rushing straight to the finish line.
However, what everyone did not expect was that Connor was following closely behind Fergus in second place.
Fergus subconsciously turned his head to look at Connor behind him. He did not expect Connor’s speed to be so fast, so Fergus used all his strength to increase his speed, wanting to shake Connor off.
However, Fergus realized that even if he tried his best, he still could not shake off Connor.
Lindsy, Tamia, Dominic Spencer, and the others looked at the both of them with wide eyes. Their expressions were displaying their shock.
The students in Connor’s class did not expect such a scene.
Connor was actually able to match up to Fergus and was even following closely behind him. This kind of scene was something that no one had expected.
In the blink of an eye, they both covered fifty meters.
Fergus realized that he still could not shake off Connor. What was even more terrifying was that Fergus felt that his speed was obviously not as fast as before, but Connor’s speed did not decrease at all.
When he was less than ten meters away from the finish line, Connor knew that he could overtake Fergus then.
He suddenly increased his speed!
Fergus could naturally feel that Connor was using more of his strength, so he also suddenly increased his speed.
However, Fergus’s speed was not on the same level as Connor’s speed!
Connor easily surpassed Fergus and came in first place!
