It was almost time for the sports festival at Game Academy and everyone was getting ready for it. They were practicing their skills so they could come out on top. Everyone was also getting a physical examination for safety. Everyone would get paired up in groups of three.
Neptune was paired up with IF and Compa. Uni was paired up with Nepgear and Blanc. These two groups complement each other well since they're well rounded groups.
Neptune's athletic skills were above average. She was the well-rounded type, IF had more speed while Compa had more strength. Blanc had brute strength, Nepgear had speed and Uni was the well-rounded type. All groups would have a meeting to decide which activity suited each member. IF would be doing the relay races, Compa would be doing the activities that involved heavy lifting and Neptune would take over for the last competition. The same would apply for the other team as well.
All the decorations were set and the sports festival was now ready to begin. The announcer was ready to begin.
"Welcome to Game Academy's sports festival and now we are ready to begin the first game. It's the 100 meter dash. Each member step forward and get ready" Announcer said
All the girls that signed up for the race stepped forward and were ready. Nepgear was about to face off against IF in a race. She was going to win this no matter what. The referee shot the gun in the air and everyone took off running as fast as they could. IF and Nepgear were neck to neck with each other but when they were about to reach the finish line IF gave one last sprint which put her in first place. Nepgear came in second place.
"As expected of IF. She's the fastest runner in school" Blanc said
"Nepgear was so close too" Uni said
"Nepgear seems to be faster than Neptune but I'm not sure of that's completely accurate" Blanc said
Next was tug of war with Compa going up against Blanc, which ended with Blanc's team taking the win.
"Blanc's as strong as ever" Neptune said
"We need to win the next one if we want to stay in the lead" IF said
Next was a relay race. Each girl would have their arms tied behind their back and could only use their mouths for the next activity. The next activity was to run and grab some bread that was hanging from a pole and make to the finish line without dropping it. Uni was up against Neptune and she knew that beating Neptune was going to be very difficult since she was one of the most athletic girls in school.
The race started and all the girls dashed off towards the bread. Neptune made to her bread first and managed to grab it and make it to the finish line first. Uni was in second place but she was still upset that she couldn't win it for her team.
Now it was time for the relay race which required the whole team to participate in. IF and Uni would face off against each other first. IF made to her destination and left to Compa, who was facing off against Blanc. Blanc made to Nepgear first and Compa managed to make it to Neptune second.
Nepgear was already half way across the field and was about to make it to the finish line but someone managed to pass her and win the race first. Nepgear was in shock to see that it was Neptune who made it across the finish line first.
Each activity was won by the three girls and it would always end in tie with them. Despite their best efforts Uni's team fell behind and Neptune's team managed to win the festival. Uni's team still came in second place and that was good enough for them since they were still in second place.
"Whew! That was fun" Uni said
"You could say that again. I never thought a sports festival could be so fun" Nepgear said
Neptune was nearby and Uni wondered what she was doing, so she decided to go visit her.
"Neptune" Uni said
"Oh hi Uni" Neptune said
"What are you doing?" Uni said
Uni saw that Neptune was doing some exercises.
"Doing some stretches" Neptune said
"Why? The sports festival is over" Uni asked
Neptune looked at her with wide eyes and blushed. Uni thought that she looked cute when she blushed.
"Oh my, how careless of me. Looks like I forgot to tell about the upcoming event that will be coming in a month" Neptune said
"Upcoming event? In a month? What are you talking about?" Uni asked
"There will be a gymnastics event in a month and everyone on the gymnastics team will be participating. We're going to be facing off against other schools" Neptune said
"And you forgot to tell me?" Uni questioned
"Yes I did. I'm sorry" Neptune said
"Well I'll forgive you this time but at least we still have a month until it begins" Uni said
"I do stretches so I can stay in shape" Neptune said
"I should start doing that too" Uni said
"Well I'm about to stop for today. We can do it tomorrow with everyone else on the team" Neptune said
"Sounds good to me" Uni said
Blanc came over to inform Neptune about their sisters.
"Neptune, It looks like Noire and Vert won their sports festival too" Blanc said
"That's great we should congratulate them when we see them at home" Neptune said
"Agreed" Blanc said
"I hope Rom and Ram congratulate us on getting second place" Nepgear said
"I wonder how Rom and Ram's team did" Uni said
"Knowing their athletic skill they probably got third place" Nepgear said
"I actually hope we do well at the gymnastics festival that we'll be attending a month from now" Neptune said
"Don't worry! With you as captain there's no way we'll lose" Uni said
"Thanks Uni and as captain I'll do my best to make sure that everyone is well prepared" Neptune said
"Let's do our best" Uni said
"Right!" Neptune said
Everyone went their separate ways for the day and Neptune made sure to that everyone on her team would be well prepared for the gymnastics festival.
