▌ EPISODE THREE: Sports Day. 
❪ PART TWO. ❫

It's time for Sports Day to start once and for all!

Let's see how the students have prepared themselves for the occasion!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON YUL ꜜ he/they（CLASS THREE） ― Guys, are you sure this idea is fine? May I remind you we're in WINTER? We're still in time to reconsider and come up with something else...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SHIN SEOYOON ꜜ she/xe（CLASS THREE） ― I don't know where's the problem, Yul?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON YUL ꜜ he/they（CLASS THREE） ― ... Yeah, you sure don't.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ YEW ꜜ he/him（CLASS THREE） ― That's not even the main problem... I think Seoyoon took the name of the game too literally.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SHIN SEOYOON ꜜ she/xe（CLASS THREE） ― Oh, but I didn't! I just decided that an extreme version would be way better than what primary school kids do~♪

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SHIN SEOYOON ꜜ she/xe（CLASS THREE） ― Not like I came up with the idea either~ It was all Inkyu's input.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HONG INKYU ꜜ he/any（CLASS THREE） ― Well... I did say that... But I meant it as a joke!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（CLASS THREE） ― I'll admit it was creepy, Inkyu.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HONG INKYU ꜜ he/any（CLASS THREE） ― ... How did you get that from "You can admit you felt freaky, Inkyu"?!

He can decipher her Google Translator-ese now?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SHIN SEOYOON ꜜ she/xe（CLASS THREE） ― Anyways, regardless of whether it was a joke or not, I think it was a good idea! Let's put it to use and get someone injured~♪

✹ ﹒ ﹒ YEW ꜜ he/him（CLASS THREE） ― ... I'm scared.

What is Class Three planning?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― And here we are in the very first edition of the Seiyuu Academy Sports Day!

The students clap their hands as Moka starts announcing!

Next to her, an oddly familiar small robotic being plays some sound effects to put everyone in the right mood...

https://youtu.be/GQmXhVlSN1U

✹ ﹒ ﹒ KOBAYASHI MIREI ꜜ they/she（CLASS ONE） ― Wait... That's...!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― Ah, our robot mascot! I called it Mokachin~♪ But it responds to other names, too!

Not Moka renaming the bot after one of her nicknames...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（CLASS THREE） ― Ah... It was a thing in the first season too.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HONG INKYU ꜜ he/any（CLASS THREE） ― Right!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― Of course Nakyoung knows already~ But I'm sure not everyone does, so shall we let our dear helper introduce itself to everyone?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "MOKACHIN"（BOT ASSISTANT） ― It shall be done!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ADELAIDE BEAUCHÊNE ꜜ she/her（CLASS TWO） ― Wait... Isn't the voice kinda familiar?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ KOBAYASHI MIREI ꜜ they/she（CLASS ONE） ― Well, you did watch Seiyuu Academy 1.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ADELAIDE BEAUCHÊNE ꜜ she/her（CLASS TWO） ― I don't mean that way.

As usual, Den seems to be very perceptive... I think her suspicions are right!

Everyone turns towards Nakyoung!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（CLASS THREE） ― ... What?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ADELAIDE BEAUCHÊNE ꜜ she/her（CLASS TWO） ― You voiced this thing, then?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（CLASS THREE） ― I might have... [scratching her head] Haha...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HUR YIRURI ꜜ she/they（CLASS ONE） ― And you didn't tell us? That was some interesting news, I would've loved to know!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（CLASS THREE） ― [chuckles] I'm sorry.

Shifting our attention back to Moka...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― Let's introduce the first activity for today, shall we~?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― Coming from Class Three's twisted mind, the very first activity for today is...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― An "extreme" version of Frogs Across The Pond! Mokachin, show them~♪

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "MOKACHIN"（BOT ASSISTANT） ― It shall be done!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ BAE KITAE ꜜ he/him（CLASS FOUR） ― H-huh? I thought this was the basic version of the game...?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JAYDEN IM ꜜ he/him（CLASS ONE） ― ... Glad I didn't sign up for this.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ DEJA NAM ꜜ she/they（CLASS ONE） ― I'm sorry for whoever has to go through this hell of a game.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ BEON HANA ꜜ she/they（CLASS ONE） ― ...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― You're surprised, aren't you?

Noooo... Who would've thought, Moka!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― But let's move on, shall we? It's time to find out together who was chosen as the frog for each class!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JANG SEONMI ꜜ she/her（CLASS TWO） ― ... Can I take back my application?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― I don't know. Can you?

Oh, this is so evil.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― The staff will now prepare everything for our first activity, but in the meanwhile you guys can warm up! May the best of you win~

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― And if you could please sign this waiver stating that you won't report the production team for any injury you might suffer today, that'd be lovely! Thank you!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ BAE KITAE ꜜ he/him（CLASS FOUR） ― [trembling, still signing the waiver] ... Do I have to be scared?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― Of course not? Why would you be scared? This is just the practice, it's not like anything will happen for real.

HE'S LYING.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ BAE KITAE ꜜ he/him（CLASS FOUR） ― OK, if you say so...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ LIU YIYUAN ꜜ he/him（CLASS FOUR） ― ... Kitae, you're an idiot.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ BAE KITAE ꜜ he/him（CLASS FOUR） ― Eh?!

For once I agree with Yiyuan...

And so, it is finally time for the game to start.

As the frogs for each team is on the starting line, the tadpoles prepare to follow them on the side thanks to small rafts. 

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― Are you guys ready? I'll leave you 2 or 3 minutes to prepare properly. Communication is just as important as being agile in this game, after all, so make sure the frogs and the tadpoles are on the same page!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（CLASS THREE） ― Yes.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SHIMIZU REN ꜜ she/her（CLASS THREE） ― Nakyoung, are you sure you don't want to send Kyu instead? He said he's good at parkour.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（CLASS THREE） ― But I am, too.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HONG INKYU ꜜ he/any（CLASS THREE） ― Oh, and I signed up for the activity chosen by Class One along with Qiuye! So I wouldn't be able to do that anyways.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SHIMIZU REN ꜜ she/her（CLASS THREE） ― Right... What was it again?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HONG INKYU ꜜ he/any（CLASS THREE） ― [shrugs] I don't know... They said it was a surprise, but they asked for two dudes per class specifically, so...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（CLASS THREE） ― You two, enough with this useless tête-à-tête. We shall prepare ourselves for this mission.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SHIMIZU REN ꜜ she/her（CLASS THREE） ― There we go, siri's back to her usual dramatic self...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（CLASS THREE） ― I mean... Aren't we planning to sabotage the other classes? That's going to be hard if we don't focus.

OH? Ren seems confused... I don't think she knew that.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SHIMIZU REN ꜜ she/her（CLASS THREE） ― Whose plan is that...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（CLASS THREE） ― ...

Nakyoung slowly turns towards Inkyu.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HONG INKYU ꜜ he/any（CLASS THREE） ― Hey hey hey hey HEY LOOK AWAY, IT'S ALL XIAOQIONG AND SEOYOON'S DOING. I'm not even participating, what do you want from me?!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SHIMIZU REN ꜜ she/her（CLASS THREE） ― ...

What even is happening here...?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― Alright, time for the tadpoles to get on their rafts!

Before starting, let's view once again who are the frogs and the tadpoles for each class!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― Ready... Set... Go!

Moka aims at the sky and shoots with her gun to signal the start of the game! 

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― This intense game of Frogs Across The Pond has just started! Class One's Beon Hana is currently on the lead, followed closely by Class Three and Class Four's Jeon Nakyoung and Bae Kitae respectively!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― As for Class Two's Jang Seonmi, well... She's seen struggling as her teammates fail to pass her a wood platform close enough for her to stand on.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JANG SEONMI ꜜ she/her（CLASS TWO） ― Uhm, Haneul... That's too far! I can't reach it!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HEO SEONWOO ꜜ he/him（CLASS TWO） ― ... Seonmi, just jump on the ones left by the other classes. You're really far behind.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JANG SEONMI ꜜ she/her（CLASS TWO） ― As if I didn't know alre-

A loud splash is heard as Seonmi's sentence cuts off!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― Oh, what a pity! Seonmi fell in the pond and is struggling to get back up on the platform...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JANG SEONMI ꜜ she/her（CLASS TWO） ― ... Argh! What did I do wrong to deserve this?!

❪ INTERVIEW ❫

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ADELAIDE BEAUCHÊNE ꜜ she/her（CLASS TWO） ― ... A lot, actually. Karma is a bitch, Jang Seonmi!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― [singing] ... Karma is a bitch, I should've known better!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ADELAIDE BEAUCHÊNE ꜜ she/her（CLASS TWO） ― [singing along with an imaginary mic in her hand] If I had a wish, I would've never effed around!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HAO" ꜜ he/him（STAFF） ― There's a reason why you're my favorite oomf.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ADELAIDE BEAUCHÊNE ꜜ she/her（CLASS TWO） ― Exactly as it should be!

╰── ⋅ ⋅ ── 𝄞 ── ⋅ ⋅ ──╯

✹ ﹒ ﹒ NAM HANEUL ꜜ she/her（CLASS TWO） ― [sighing] Seonmi, let me throw another one for y-

SPLASH!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― ... Seonmi is not the only one to fall from her position, as Haneul falls off the raft and splashes Seonwoo who is now holding onto it TIGHT and fighting for his life! It seems like her attempt to throw the platform closer for Seonmi failed miserably... What a pity!

She's not sorry in the slightest. She's having way too much fun.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HEO SEONWOO ꜜ he/him（CLASS TWO） ― ... [sighs loudly]

✹ ﹒ ﹒ WANG MUCHEN ꜜ he/they（CLASS TWO） ― [from afar] Damn, both Haneul and Seonmi are useless in everything.

You didn't have to end them like that, king!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― As both Seonmi and Haneul desperately try to get back in their proper positions, the race is taking an unexpected turn! Beon Hana seems way too exhausted to proceed, hence her speed noticeably decreasing...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― Nakyoung takes advantage of that and- Oh, would you look at that!

Uh?!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ BAE KITAE ꜜ he/him（CLASS FOUR） ― W-what are you doing?!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ CHEON JUNSEO ꜜ he/him（CLASS FOUR） ― ...?!

Nakyoung starts jumping on the platforms Junseo threw for Kitae, immediately disorienting him!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ CHEN YULIAN ꜜ she/they（CLASS FOUR） ― Hey! Jump on your own platforms, will you?!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（CLASS THREE） ― There's no rule against what I'm currently doing, though?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― Jeon Nakyoung continues with her stunt, continuously switching between the path her classmates created for her and Class Four's! Bae Kitae is greatly confused and proceeding with uncertain pace... I wonder how it'll turn out for him?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― Look at how the tables have turned! Bae Kitae mimics his opponent's strategy while Beon Hana struggles to keep u-

✹ ﹒ ﹒ BAE KITAE ꜜ he/him（CLASS FOUR） ― Holy sh-

OH MY GOD.

Bae Kitae slips and falls, banging his head against one of Nakyoung's platforms! 

✹ ﹒ ﹒ CHEON JUNSEO ꜜ he/him（CLASS FOUR） ― Kitae!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― [unfazed] Only Beon Hana and Jeon Nakyoung are still standing, and the race is almost over! The former is trying her best to catch up with the latter, but it's too late...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― ... As Nakyoung reaches the other side of the pond! As expected of the Class that organized this shitty game in the first place!

This is absolutely crazy... No care whatsoever?!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（CLASS THREE） ― Ah. [shaking her head] Now I feel bad... This was such a stupid plan.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（CLASS THREE） ― Is everything fine, Kitae?

Kitae slowly gets out of the pond, now dripping wet and in pain.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ BAE KITAE ꜜ he/him（CLASS FOUR） ― [panting] Ah... No...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ CHEN YULIAN ꜜ she/they（CLASS FOUR） ― [running towards KITAE] Kitae! Oh my God...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ CHEN YULIAN ꜜ she/they（CLASS FOUR） ― That was such an ugly fall... Quick, quick, I have some towels to wipe you dry.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ BEON HANA ꜜ she/they（CLASS ONE） ― Haa... Haa... You're not a human, Nakyoung!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HUR YIRURI ꜜ she/they（CLASS ONE） ― [shaking her head, laughing] She's never going to beat the alien allegations, I fear.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ JEON NAKYOUNG ꜜ she/siri（CLASS THREE） ― What...?

She seemed so aware and even played into them, but you tell me she didn't know some people actually believe she's an alien?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― Congratulations, Nakyoung! As for Kitae and Seonmi, the staff will take care of you... Mimin, Dodo, can you do me a favor?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "MIMIN" ꜜ ???（???） ― Of course! Let's go~

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（CLASS THREE） ― ... Mimin?

Xiaoqiong looks at the girl who seems to be a staff member as she leaves with the injured contestants and the other mysterious individual.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（CLASS THREE） ― I guess I was wrong. It can't be her.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ SHIN SEOYOON ꜜ she/xe（CLASS THREE） ― Mh?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ GUAN XIAOQIONG ꜜ she/glam（CLASS THREE） ― [shaking her head with a smile] Nothing! Let's go~

It is time for the second activity to start.

For Class Two's game, the students move further away from the pond and prepare for what seems to be a...

✹ ﹒ ﹒ KOBAYASHI MIREI ꜜ they/she（CLASS ONE） ― ... A relay?!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ ADELAIDE BEAUCHÊNE ꜜ she/her（CLASS TWO） ― Yes! Isn't it fun?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ KIM JUNSEONG ꜜ he/him（CLASS TWO） ― And to think that Den came up with it all alone! Den and Den alone! Wouldn't you believe that?

... I think I can see Junseong's veins popping as he says this.

✹ ﹒ ﹒ KOBAYASHI MIREI ꜜ they/she（CLASS ONE） ― Ah... Eh... Yeah...!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― You have ten minutes to choose the order in which people will run for this relay! Also, due to time issues, we'll have to cut on some of the activities of the relay... But hopefully this isn't a problem!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― Now quick, discuss among yourselves! In the meanwhile I'll have a drink~

✹ ﹒ ﹒ HANAZAWA MOKA ꜜ she/her（HOST） ― Actually, how about you all get one? Hiro, there's a cart with some there... Could you distribute them among the students?

✹ ﹒ ﹒ "HIRO" ꜜ ???（???） ― Sure. On my way!

✹ ﹒ ﹒ WANG MUCHEN ꜜ he/they（CLASS TWO） ― ... Hiro, mh?

How odd. It seems like the Seiyuu Academy 2 contestants are recognizing quite a few faces among the staff members, aren't they?

After the drink break, the contestants will start with their second activity.

How will it go?

Find out in the next part!

FEVEN'S CORNER !!!

And we're back! I originally planned to upload this next week, but I have to speedrun updates due to a huge problem we're going to have starting next month... So here it is a week in advance!

Next update will hopefully come within this week or next Monday at most, but no promises.
