36.Chapter.35 National Contest (I)
The venue of the national competition, the first day of the competition.
At half past seven in the morning, the sun was already very bright, but the temperature was still relatively peaceful.
There was about an hour before the opening ceremony in the morning, and the staff wearing white hats and blue cards were busy everywhere. School buses drove into the venue one after another, and some spectators who wanted to watch the opening ceremony walked slowly to the stands.
The teenagers with tennis bags on their backs crowded into the arena noisily, and they were dazzled for a while. But those traditional strong schools that are favorites to win the championship are still very recognizable in this bustling crowd.
As soon as the team passed by five minutes ago, someone spotted another strong team.
"Ice Emperor Academy is here!"
Keigo Kibe led the contestants towards the registration office, and his grim expression when he didn't speak matched the cold color of the team's uniform, attracting the attention of the girls on the side of the road.
Feng Chotaro and Ryo Shishido are seriously discussing the doubles of the first game, and the rarely sober Akutagawa Jiro was originally dragging what his junior Hiyoshi Ruo was saying today, but because he wanted to see Marui Bunta early, he slipped around from time to time, fortunately, he couldn't get distracted, and Hiyoshi was completely ...... at all I don't care.
Xiang Riyueren, who cried wolf during training, was full of energy today, completely in a state of "I'm ready to go to heaven at any time", and he attended the doubles with his old partner Shinobu Shino in the first game, so the "hopeless duo" in intensive training also rarely exchanged today's game strategy seriously.
Based on the overall tone laid by Uncle Jibu, this pedestrian is simply a self-propelled luminous body on the current road.
The competitive atmosphere on the field has made this team form an unstoppable spirit.
Even if you don't know the status of the Ice Emperor School Park in the high school tennis world, the eye-catching uncle and the two-meter-tall birch Chonghong next to him are enough to become a shining signboard, after all, tennis does not have particularly strict requirements for height, looking at all the high school players who participated, there are only a handful of people who are two meters long.
As the only girl in the team, Maki was not conspicuous at this time, and even many people who observed the team from the front didn't notice her at all, because at this moment she was contacting the head of the support group who came to cheer this afternoon, completely unaware that her poor little dwarf was tightly covered by the figure of Takahiro Birch.
It wasn't until she reached the registration office that she hung up the phone, swooped out of the line, and fished out the only fluttering bag in her arms.
Not to mention the emergency kit she carefully prepared, even her personal backpack was ruthlessly taken away by Big Brother Birch. QAQ
Qi brushed out, and the text and information of the competition were readily available.
Maki's crisp voice explained the addendum: "Inspector Sakaki came alone, and he will only be there in the afternoon game. β
Fortunately, the teacher who leads the team is not a necessary condition for entering the field.,Really do chores to do the pinnacle of meticulous work.,I can't find a trace of mistake in the materials.,Let the Ice Emperor School Park get the key to the lounge with the fastest entry speed at present.γ
Everyone in the Ice Emperor Academy has to go to the national competition almost every year.,When Zhenji was the manager of Diguang before,I'm used to seeing such a national-level hall.γ So except for Akutagawa Yoshiro, the rest of the people didn't have the exuberant curiosity to look around, and as soon as they arrived at the lounge, they took care of the things they brought first.
As a professional logistics staff, after putting away the water cups, towels, notebooks, medicine boxes and other things that will be used in the afternoon competition, Zhenji also went out for a walk, intending to find out the general terrain of the venue. When I was about to walk to the door of the lounge hall, I was bumped into a shinobi who had just come out of the bathroom.
"Yo! Patience senior! β
As soon as the eyes of the two met, before Maki could speak, he heard a loud greeting behind him.
A teenager with a half-length broom head first appeared in front of Maki in the form of a back, and he didn't even see the side of his face clearly, because he had high legs and long strides, and he left Maki behind him in a few steps.
Obviously, Shinobu knew this young man in a blue tracksuit, his right eyebrow was slightly raised, and he gave a look that was warm for him, "Good morning, Momojo, you guys came quite early." β
"Really? Hahaha. Momojo Takeshi scratched his hair and laughed, but he was immediately hammered from the back by a girl with shoulder-length brown hair who caught up from behind, this beating was tantamount to tickling for him who had been carrying Kaido Kaoru all year round, but he still looked back, "What's wrong?" Apricot. β
"You're interrupting someone's conversation." The brown-haired girl seemed to feel a little helpless about this guy's rough nerves and sighed lightly.
Momojo Takeshi looked behind him with a smile, Zhenji was wearing the summer uniform of the Ice Emperor Academy today, and she was a rare girl in the lounge, so it was not difficult to find that she looked back so specially.
But Zhenji didn't expect that this broom-headed boy who fell from the sky would say a big thunderbolt on a sunny day as soon as he opened his mouth: "Hey? Hello, sorry! I didn't pay attention just now! Oh! Are you the girlfriend of a shinobu senior? β
β¦β¦ Oh what, oh oh, you big-headed ghost!
Since this guy's speech really didn't look like he was distracted, Zhenji simply rolled his eyes.
But it's the first time she's grown up to be the girlfriend of a ninja warrior.
Because she was a little shorter when she was in middle school, she occasionally went out together on holidays, and most of the strangers regarded her as the sister of the ninja warrior. It's because her aura (naΓ―ve) is quite similar to Qianya's, and more than once some people have recognized them as babbling middle school lovers.
Tachibana Xing, who had already grown shoulder-length hair, could only raise her right hand to cover her face when she heard this, clearly with an expression that she couldn't bear to look at directly. She left behind Takeshi Momojo, who looked like her IQ was worrying, and talked directly to Zhenji, "Hello, I'm Tangerine Apricot from the Youth Academy." You're the manager of the Ice Emperor Academy, right? I've heard of you when I played practice matches before. β
In addition to the practice match with Lihai High School when Maki went to Kanagawa to save Huang Se's classmates, the Ice Emperor School and the Youth School in Tokyo also played a practice match, but there happened to be a shift in Mori that day, and it was the other two managers who went with the team.
Maki winked and replied, "My name is Umegaki Maji, and you're the manager of the Youth Academy?" β
The girl in the summer uniform of Qingxue seemed to have guessed that Zhen Ji would have this guess, and even Cheng DΓΉ's previous vague answer was a bit tempting to turn in this direction, and she showed a sly smile when she succeeded, "No, I'm from the women's tennis club." We're only going to start tomorrow, so we're here today to see the excitement. β
Not a manager, a contestant?!
Zhenji quietly glanced up and down at the girl, who was not much taller than herself, and sure enough, she found that although the girl's arms looked thin, the arm muscles were tight and energetic, and the exposed calf lines were also quite smooth, and there was no excess fat at all. In addition, the knuckles of the fingers are distinct, and even in an unconscious state, the blood vessels on the back of the hand have extremely subtle protrusions, which shows that she should pay great attention to wrist training. Among female athletes, she is considered to be slender, so Maji can roughly guess that she is a technical player.
Although there are very few substantive crossovers, because the type of sport is the same, Maki has also heard some information about women's tennis. Different from the women's tennis that the Ice Emperor School Park is interested in,The women's tennis record of the Higher Division of the Youth School Park is good,Last year it was the top eight in the country,This year it also successfully broke through in the fierce battle in the Kanto regionγ
It's a real force.
The real season girl who can mix with the physical fitness test can only cry speechlessly.
β¦β¦ Don't talk about playing, just ask for the ball, don't hit the nest! QAQ
Although Momojo Takeshi threw out the shocking words of "girlfriend" in a big way, he himself seemed to just slip away, and he didn't take this matter as the focus at all, and instead chatted with the ninja foot Yushi about the battle table, the Ice Emperor School Park and the Youth School Park are both in Zone B, and they will only meet in the fourth round of the national top four.
But after only a few words,The door to the lounge of the Youth School Park was opened,Maki saw a young man with chestnut hair leaning out,As soon as he came out, he maintained a consistent gentle smile,He beckoned to Momojo Takeshi,By the way, he also said hello to the ninja yoshi: "It's been a long time, Shinobi-kun." Oh? This classmate is the manager of the Ice Emperor...... Hmmm......"
"It's Umagaki-san." Tachibana, who had just exchanged names with Maji, obviously quickly understood the senior's intentions, handed over the required information in time, and then generously introduced to Maji: "This is the second-year Fuji Zhou Suke senior. β
"Hello, I'm the manager of the Ice Emperor, Maki Uragaki."
Because it's a senior from another family, Maji said hello very obediently.
To be honest, Maki feels that this Fuji senior is somewhat similar to the beautiful minister he saw in Lihai University before, both of them are the gentle type that seems to be kind at first glance and seems to be easier to get along with. But she just happens to be not very good at dealing with this type of person, and May was fascinated by the gentle "Tetsukun", but she and Kuroko Tetsuya can only be regarded as an ordinary "teammate friendship", not even as good as the eccentric temper Shintaro Midorima.
The people of the Youth School Park have just left.,Maji had to sigh "The toilet is a magical place",Especially in the venue of the national competition.,It's simply a holy place where all kinds of encounters gather.γ
"Yo yo yo!! Isn't this a gentleman!! β
Fortunately, this time it was a guy who couldn't be more familiar.
β¦β¦ The glottis is so loud.
The ninja who had been talking with Takeshi Momojo just now frowned helplessly at this moment.
Shinobu also rushed over with lightning speed, first looking in the direction to send a loving hug to his cousin, and then one hand hung on the neck of the Shinobi Foot Yushi, almost taking the Shinobi Yu to the ground to gnaw mud, and the other hand waved loudly, showing his undying enthusiasm for the real season: "Oh! What a season! Hahaha...... I always feel so amazing to see you here! Hey, don't you think so, Yushi? β
The Great Ninja Foot Jun, who has no brotherly love, has a blank face: "Get out, Qianya, I dare to say that you have at least gained a circle." β
Hearing this, Ren Zuqian also seemed to be greatly insulted, and he angrily pushed his affectionate elder brother away, "How is it possible?!" I'm a Naniwa star in Osaka! My Speed can't be fat! You know? No way! Yushi, I see you've deceived a lot of ignorant girls lately, right? I said, "Can you get in a line and go around Honshu Island?" Otherwise, why is your ability to talk nonsense more and more slippery!! β
Okay,Originally, it was still lined up from the Ice Emperor School Park to Tokyo Bay.,Now it's possible to circle the island for a week.,It seems that the next step is to occupy Mars.γ
ββ¦β¦ Thank you for it. Shinobu lifted his crooked glasses with a blank expression, "I really can't fool the girl." β
"Humph! Dare you say me! I think you are standing so lightly, you haven't trained well at all, right? Ren Zuqian was also angry about the accusation of weight, and he didn't even take the opportunity to continue to discredit Shi Shinobi's discipline, and instead began to attack his professional Su zhΓ¬, "Let me tell you, our Four Heavenly Treasure Temple has been secretly trained this time, I think you can only kneel down and sing to conquer!" β
Ninja was unmoved, "Oh? Is it? Come on, Kenya, I'd love to see Sanada-kun sing, too. β
The Four Heavenly Treasure Temple drew the A division this time.,If you want to face the Ice Emperor Academy in Area B.,First of all, you have to let the king Lihai kneel in anger.γ
I don't know if it's because the picture of Sanada Koichiro raising his neck and singing is too beautiful, and Shinobu Kenya himself was messy for a few seconds, but then he became more and more frustrated, and chased and beat fiercely: "I have a new move this time!" And my speed has broken through again, hum hum, to you, a patient with cerebellar deficiency who can't ride a bicycle before the third grade of elementary school, won't understand! β
Shinobu is simply unbearable, even if he doesn't have a cerebellum, he is also angry with the "stupid twins" of Kenya and Maji. During the summer vacation, the three of them made an appointment to learn to ride a bicycle together, because he asked his father to take him to buy a set of books the day before, and when he went the next day, Maki and Ken also seemed to have learned, so he rode slowly along the wall alone, careful not to fall, he hated the feeling of being covered in dust and pain.
With his natural motor nerves, this is actually not difficult for him, even if the bicycle teacher endures that Erina to eat cake with her classmates that morning, after riding for a while, the balance of his body gradually condenses, and he is about to be able to ride freely off the wall.
"Hahahaha!!! Come after me!! Ren Zuqian also galloped past, he was as hot as ever, he couldn't fly first, and he rode out of the special effects.
He excitedly craned his neck to beckon behind him, and Maki pedaled her little red car to chase him, but he had already fallen behind. But after all, he had only learned for one day, and even if he inherited the natural athletic talent of the Shinobu family, it was impossible for him to participate in the triathlon right now.
Of course, the speed that Qian is proud of is not blown, and the ninja can only watch his cousin bend his neck and bump into him without a long eye.
ββ¦β¦β
Hit the streets.
Xiao Yu Shijun rolled his eyes, rubbed his red but fortunately unbroken legs and stood up, ready to settle accounts with Qian afterwards. But as soon as he rode steadily again, Xiao Zhenji, who already had a thin layer of sweat on his head, finally rode to his side. Shinobu also has the skill of hitting people without falling, but this guy has no athletic talent, and he just wants to catch up with him, not only is his speed slow, but he also slips under his feet, and he successfully pounces on Ninja Yu Shi with a car.
Yanfu Xiaoyu: ".................."
What made him even more mad was that even if it was once or twice, these two guys didn't know how to learn from the countless stupid things they had done, and they were playing the boring game of "you chase me if you chase me" all day long, knocking him to death, not only did he ride out of the psychological shadow, but he was also released at dinner, and Lord Erina, who didn't come in the afternoon, said, "Little yo, how can you eat and eat without love."
For a year, he felt pain all over his body when he touched his bicycle.
Recalling the painful experience, the competition between Shinobu and Shinobu Kenya became even more intense, and after comparing themselves-for-tat, they began to compete with their teammates again.
"Oooh! Our financial front is also here this year! β
"I'm sorry, Hiyoshi...... Oh no, we have three juniors who have also been promoted to the higher ministry. β
Of course, Zhenji knows that the two brothers will have a declining IQ as soon as they meet, and they can compete for a long time with a little trivial matter, and Shinobu Yushi can usually calmly play the people of Xiang Riyue, but when he meets Shinobu Kenya, he has no IQ at all, and he is probably a little higher than Qianya.
Speaking of which, this year's first-year students who have just been promoted to the higher division are indeed one of the decisive factors.
β¦β¦ She knows everything in front, but what the hell is this?!
"Shiraishi's round table volley is flawless!"
"The kingdom of the trace is growing in a thousand days."
"Two girls confessed to Shiraishi last week!"
"I haven't finished last year's Valentine's Day chocolate Jirou yet."
"I'll tell you about Shiraishi's new bandages! Or I pestered him! β
"The trace department also used a new hairspray, I chose it for him."
Fortunately, they arrived relatively early, not many schools arrived, and most of the people who came were still tidying up in the lounge. She crossed her waist and sighed, just about to remind the two of them to be careful of losing face and throwing themselves into the country, she took a step forward, ready to stretch out her hands, one in each hand, and separate the Shinobu and Shinobu Qian.
She didn't have the obsessive-compulsive disorder of the foot warriors, and her left hand unconsciously stretched out half a palm smaller than her right hand.
To her left was the Shinobu Warrior.
"I have a real season."
Maki was stunned to find that his left hand was grasped by Shinobi Shinichi.
He didn't look directly at Maki, it seemed that it was just because she happened to come over. Because of some surprise, Maki's mind was instead focused on the left hand that was being held, so he keenly felt that Shinobi's fingers seemed to stiffen for three or four seconds. He still didn't look at it, but stared more and more intently at Shinobu Kenya.
"So I thoughtβnothing else matters? Kenya? β
