20, Practice With Classmates

 

It was a sweltering hot day when the sports festival practice was in full swing in the classroom.

 

Normally, classes are held in two separate classes, one for boys and one for girls, but today the boys and girls in the class will be practicing together for the sports festival competition.

 

“All right, let’s get fired up so we don’t lose to the other classes!”

 

After pairing up with Asakura and completing the preparatory exercises, the sports festival committee members released some spirited words, and then each athlete in each event began practicing.

 

“For now, we have a few competitions to compete in, so let’s take it in turns to practice.”

 

I nodded as Ike approached me.

 

“Oh yeah, Yuuji. Would you work with me on the three-legged race?”

 

Ike asked me out of nowhere.

 

“Is it okay, it’s me?”

 

“Okay or not, considering my height and time, I can’t team up with anyone other than Yuuji.”

 

To my words, Ike replied with a brisk laugh.

We’re certainly taller and more athletic.

If that’s the case, then don’t hesitate to run with me.

 

So, first, I decided to participate in a three-legged race practice with Ike.

 

“Oh, Ike will be running with Tomoki. Both of you are very athletic, so I’m looking forward to seeing your times.”

 

Asakura, who was preparing to measure the time with a stopwatch in his hand, smiled wryly as he accepted us.

As Asakura has narrowed down the events he competes in, he seems to be moving rather freely at the moment.

 

“I’m looking forward to running like this with Yuuji too.”

 

Ike nodded and then accepted a piece of magic tape from Asakura to hold our feet together.

Then, with a deft hand, Ike fastens our feet.

 

“Is it tight?”

 

“Yeah, no problem”

 

“All right, then, let’s do some light practice.”

 

The two of us do a light starting practice and then, after making sure we are both in good shape, we decide to actually run the race once.

Several groups of guys from the class were also just about to run, so we decided to join them.

As we lined up in our starting positions,

 

“Hey, Yuuji.”

 

Ike opened his mouth near my ear.

 

“What?”

 

When I ask, Ike smiles somewhat happily and replies.

 

“For once, forget about anything else and just run as fast as we can.”

 

“If we do that, the timing couldn’t possibly be right?”

 

I was stunned that he would make such an odd joke, but,

 

“Then, Yuuji, try to run as hard as you can. I’ll adjust.”

 

Said Ike lightly.

No, it’s unreasonable……, I think, but I am convinced that Ike can do such reckless things.

 

After a short pause, I nodded slowly.

 

“All right, then, let’s do this! Are you ready!?”

 

Asakura’s voice is strained near the finish line.

We each replied to him.

 

Then I heard the sound of the start and I ran as fast as I could, just like Ike said.

 

And immediately surprised.

Even though it is a three-legged race, there is no sense of unnaturalness in the running.

On the contrary, I had the illusion that I was running even faster than when I was running alone. ……As expected, it was just my imagination.

 

In no time at all, we left the others who had started together behind and finished first.

 

I regain my breathing, which had been disturbed by my full speed, and then say to Ike, who was doing the same.

 

“Amazing, you really adjusted perfectly to me.”

 

Ike innocently laughed at my words.

 

“No, actually, I didn’t.”

 

“Ha?”

 

I didn’t understand the meaning of Ike’s words, so I gave a stupid reply.

 

“Honestly, I just ran with all my might.”

 

Ike said with a mischievous smile.

If you do that, you usually end up falling because the timing isn’t right.

 

Of course, it was probably Ike’s joke, but I couldn’t help but laugh.

 

“Not much different from the time I run alone…?”

 

Then Asakura, who saw the time on the stopwatch, walked up to us and said, with astonishment on his face.

 

Classmates who were observing the event were excited to see the time on the stopwatch held by Asakura.

 

“Uwwah, your time is bad”

 

“Hey, Ike, why don’t you join the track and field team?”

 

One of the classmates said this to Ike.

Apparently he’s in the track and field club.

Certainly, if Ike joined the club, it would be tremendous strength.

 

“Sorry, I can’t cross over from student council.”

 

However, Ike simply refuses.

The track and field guy didn’t seem to have high expectations either, and only lightly shrugged his shoulders.

 

After that, he turned his gaze to me and opened his mouth.

 

“How about Tomoki? If you’re not doing club activities, why don’t you join the track and field club?

 

…What a surprise, now the track team that recruited me.

I was too surprised to reply immediately.

I who had always been feared by others, had never expected to be approached in this way, and even to be invited to join club activities, so I was very moved.

 

However, if I accept this invitation, it is inevitable that he will get carried away in the track and field.

While conveying this gratitude, I desperately searched for words to gently refuse …

 

“Ah, I’m sorry.”

 

It was me, who had a communication problem, refusing normally after thinking around.

 

“Kah, Tomoki rejected me, too. Well, it can’t be helped…”

 

Ike puts his hand on the depressed athletic guy’s shoulder and says to him.

 

“It can’t be helped, Yuuji has to be with Touka after school, so he can’t do club activities.”

 

And he looks at me with a compassionate gaze.

 

“D-Don’t tease me…”

 

I responded with dismay to Ike’s direct gaze, unaware that my relationship with Touka was a fake.

 

“… Da*mn it…”

 

Asakura’s words reached my ears as he bit his teeth in frustration, more so than my and Ike’s rejection of his invitation to participate in club activities, but I decided to pretend not to hear them for now.

    Easy Peptide’s Merchandise are meant strictly for analysis purposes only.

    Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for human consumption or
    medical use. Under no circumstances ought to these peptides be used for any purpose aside from analysis.

    Moreover, KPV prevented other inflammatory modifications corresponding to decrease of
    colon size (Supplementary outcomes, Figure 4).
    Lastly, the KPV anti-inflammatory effect was confirmed using real-time RT-PCR.
    We discovered that KPV significantly decreased TNBS-induced IL-1?,
    IL-6, TNF-? and IFN-? mRNA levels in mouse colon (Figure 8C, D, E, F).

    The expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines is understood to be concerned in intestinal
    inflammation. As expected, real-time RT-PCR experiments showed that DSS treatment elevated mRNA levels of various pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6,
    IL-12, IFN-?, IL-1?) in mouse colon (Figure 7).

    For those intrigued by the therapeutic potential of peptides and seeking
    to discover the benefits of KPV, the journey begins with training.

    The Foundations of Peptide Therapy is a great place to begin supplied right here on the Human Longevity Institute.
    Understanding the science behind KPV equips
    people with the knowledge to make knowledgeable decisions about their well being, advocating for a future where wellness isn’t just a
    aim however a tangible reality. KPV is a tripeptide, a sequence
    of three amino acids—Lysine (K), Proline (P), and Valine (V)—is not simply one other addition to the huge array of peptides.

    Let’s delve into the scientific intricacies and sensible benefits of KPV, shedding light on how this outstanding
    peptide may be harnessed for well being optimization.
    Analysis exhibits it accelerates wound therapeutic across tendons, muscular tissues, ligaments, and the gastrointestinal tract(1).

    Core Peptides presents a reliable injectable KPV resolution for these dealing with chronic irritation or gut well being points.

    Peptide Sciences offers a higher-dose KPV product, appropriate for those needing more intensive therapy for persistent inflammation. For topical
    use, particularly in treating wounds or skin situations, KPV peptide is applied on to the affected
    space. Dosage is usually decided by the focus of the peptide in the topical cream or
    solution.
    The peptide helps preserve mucosal integrity during inflammatory challenges[6].
    KPV’s potential is further backed by patents detailing its use in treating dermatological problems and
    cosmetic situations. These patents suggest KPV as a therapy
    that gives the advantages of conventional medicines with out their unwanted aspect effects.

    This makes KPV an thrilling prospect for managing signs like inflammation, edema, and pruritus.
    KPV is a naturally derived peptide claimed to don’t have any vital unwanted effects,
    as evidenced by animal studies where its oral, intravenous,
    subcutaneous, and transdermal administration confirmed security and
    efficacy. Together, these properties spotlight KPV’s versatility as a therapeutic agent for general
    inflammatory conditions and specific gastrointestinal health considerations.

    One of the numerous advantages of KPV is its ability to reinforce mucosal healing.
    Studies have proven that KPV, especially when delivered in nanoparticles,
    can significantly accelerate the healing of infected mucosal layers,
    which is a primary goal within the treatment of UC. 37 animal
    research between 1981 and 2008 have identified KPV’s suggested anti-inflammatory effects.
    These studies present a solid basis for understanding how KPV can be utilized in research.
    By following the following pointers, researchers can get probably
    the most out of KPV peptide therapy and their research journey.
    Understanding the legal standing of GLOW peptides helps you make knowledgeable decisions
    about this remedy. The GLOW protocol takes a unique method
    in comparability with typical anti-aging and
    therapeutic treatments.
    This product isn’t supposed to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent
    any illness. KPV fortifies your physique’s defenses by lowering inflammation, supporting intestine health, and supporting a
    resilient immune system. As an alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH), it modulates
    immune sensitivity while selling a peaceful, balanced setting for healing.

    When launched into the system, it helps down regulate the
    production of inflammatory cytokines like IL 6 and TNF alpha while encouraging
    healing pathways and mucosal integrity.
    • ACTH is released under conditions of stress
    will increase cortisol production from the adrenal glands.

    Additionally intriguing is its potential to support general
    wellness and the immune system. When you may get them, we
    have found them to be effective, good high quality and nicely priced (even together with
    the costly shipping). But it can trigger anxiety and / or mast cell activation in delicate folks.
