In the end, it was not only Coach Hayakawa who came to pick him up, but he walked in front and beckoned to him from afar.

Takujin felt as if death was beckoning to him.

Lu Dou noticed his nervousness, and felt funny in his heart, he handed Tuozhen a piece of paper: "Here, my contact information, remember to call me when you go back and get your mobile phone." ”

Takujin took the note, remembering what Lu Dou had said to him earlier.

"If you're interested, why not give it a try?"

Yuquan's training scene was still hovering in his mind, the whistle sounded, and Lu Dou, who was still joking with him about the general taste of fried fish for lunch, suddenly seemed to be a different person, the paddling action was beautiful and smooth and fast and decisive, the rhythm was just right, he swam a round trip at a very fast speed, and finally touched the wall in the whistle, he got up from the pool, took off the swimming goggles and smashed his fist on the water.

Looking at the splashing water, Takujin only felt that his scalp was numb.

This is Takagi Rito, the ace of Yuquan's first-year who has unfathomable strength.

After going ashore, Lu Dou's expression returned to its previous softness, and Takuma looked at him, remembering what the commentator said at the prefectural competition at that time: Takagi Lu Dou is a player born for the competition.

And Takuma Nakano is only a bitter hand for the game.

He can move forward for the sake of love, and even sometimes he is taught to be too impulsive, but when it comes to things that need to be prioritized by numbers, he always does not hesitate to take a detour.

He's not a coward, he's just always following his heart.

He thought he would go on like this until he met Takagi Rikuto at last year's prefectural tournament.

Takujin was crumpled with a crumpled white piece of paper in his hand, as if he had made a decision in his heart.

……

…………

The friendly is over.

Tuozhen and his party were tired and paralyzed by the pool, the battle between them and Yuquan College was finally over, and there was no suspense about the unilateral abuse, and everyone didn't want to recall too many details.

Senior Daichi flipped through the report card: "Actually, we're not that bad, Torotaro has played the whole game as a beginner, and he's worked hard." ”

Torotaro blushed and kicked the water in the pool, he knew that Daichi Senpai was comforting him, after all, he was almost pulled 25 meters away, even if Sa tried hard to catch up, it would be useless.

Although losing was a certainty, he was still frustrated by such a huge gap.

Coach Hayakawa's loud voice came from afar: "Are you still alive!" ”

Tuozhen raised his hand tremblingly: "V-su!" ”

Sa on the side really got up, he wasn't too tired, walked to the iron net and picked up his schoolbag, and then walked back to Tuozhen, putting the schoolbag under his head.

Takujin's raised hand staggered to Sa's neck, and he himself felt dazed as if he was about to fall asleep with his bag on his pillow.

Sa recalled Takujin's desperate performance just now, and for the first time he felt the desire for victory in the other party.

Takujin hated competitions since he was a child, and he couldn't cope with everything that required rankings, so this time his enthusiasm for swimming made Sa feel strange.

Do you really like swimming? But he doesn't usually show it.

Sa's eyes darkened, and his mood suddenly turned bad, and he took Takujin's hand off his neck.

Takujin, who originally thought he had fallen asleep, suddenly opened his eyes, and suddenly his eyes filled the entire sky, and now, he seemed to have grasped something in this blue.

Takujin showed his usual energetic smile, but the reflection in Sa's eyes made him even more upset.

Takujin suddenly looked at him and said, "Sa, you swam so fast just now." ”

“…… It's a pity that they couldn't get ahead. ”

"Well, the gap in front is too big, and there is no way, but when the stick is handed over, the opposite land bucket hasn't turned back yet, you're really super powerful!"

Although he knew that Taku was praising him sincerely, Sa's mood became worse and worse, he turned his face away from the other party, and his voice was weirdly low: "...... Thank you. ”

Tuozhen thought he was shy, smiled and withdrew his gaze, reached out to wipe his bangs away, and then slapped himself on the head: "Alas, but Lu Dou is really fast, this time as his opponent, this feeling is clearer - that guy, is a monster." ”

As soon as Coach Hayakawa arrived, he rushed over and kicked Takuma in the back.

"Wow! What are you doing, bald! ”

"Huh? Say it again what you call me! ”

"Cut! Just say it! Bald, no! ”

Coach Hayakawa strangled Takujin's neck with his arm and directly "strangled" him from the ground.

"Didn't I say it, you kid, it's only 2 seconds away from the same last stick Takagi Ludou, it's impossible that you haven't practiced at this level before, right?" This Takagi Land Dou is Yuquan's trump card in the past, and his level is close to the professional level, and Tuozhen's ability to swim to this level is really beyond his expectations.

"Dead bald, please, that's 50 meters! The difference of 50 meters in 2 seconds is terrible, okay! Do you know how lonely I feel when I turn around and the game is over? And the cheerleading squad that said yes, why didn't I see anything! ”

Facing Takujin's questioning, Coach Hayakawa coughed weakly and let go of him: "Okay, okay, you also feel the gap with Yuquan, right?" That's the level of the county competition, and if nothing else, they will be looking to defend their title this year. ”

"After all, there is a Takagi Rito." The sound that had not been spoken suddenly sounded.

Torotaro couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's the same high school, and the gap is so big." ”

Takuma pursed his lips, he lowered his head and spread his palms, stared at it for a long time, then clenched his fists and said to Coach Hayakawa, "Coach, I want to participate in the competition." ”

Coach Hayakawa didn't seem surprised that he would say this, and snorted, "Oh? Have you figured it out? ”

"I can't talk about it...... Hmm, probably. Takuma scratched his head embarrassedly, "There's nothing that can't be overcome, and besides, I also hope to have a chance to compete with Lu Dou." ”

This is what he promised the other party.

"Well, yes, I see." Coach Hayakawa clapped his hands and asked the other four, "How is it?" If you don't want to, you can continue to do salted fish clubs. ”

Torotaro's eyes widened: "To, to, to?! But I've just learned to ventilate! ”

Takujin patted his chest and gave him a thumbs up: "Leave it to me, no problem!" ”

Senior Dadi smiled and said, "It's okay, Torotaro, you can't start the first shot." ”

"Oh......" Torotaro raised his hand helplessly, "Then I'll participate in the ...... too"

Hibiki looked at Sa sitting in the shade of the tree opposite, he always felt that Sa's appearance was a little strange, but he didn't dare to come forward to ask.

Takuzhen also found that Sa had been eerily quiet since just now, although he didn't talk much before, but today, the aura of "don't get close to the living" on his body seems to be about to materialize.

He called Sa's name a little strangely, but saw the other party suddenly get up and walk towards the outside of the training ground without saying a word.

Takujin was startled, and hurriedly took Sa's schoolbag and chased after him.

It's a little weird.
