100 Class Marathon Event - Part 2

It was 6:15 am, the time that Kaoru set for our first marathon training session. Since it was summer, the temperature wasn't too bad. Even so, there wasn't a very good turnout, especially of the implied target audience. Kobayashi, Furukawa, Hamasaki and Itsuki were the first ones there, arriving a few minutes before the designated time.

As I joined the group, it would appear that not many more people would be arriving. Kaoru was holding a clipboard, noting down the people that came.

"This is concerning..." said Kobayashi.

"How are you planning on enforcing this?" Furukawa asked Kaoru.

She looked down at her clipboard.

"It's going to be a problem if too many of them don't show up. I don't actually have any power if the majority is against me," answered Karou.

"Can't you threaten them?" asked Itsuki.

"I can't enforce punishment if there are too many people. I'll see what happens tonight. If not enough people show up, then we'll have another discussion in class."
