CHAPTER XXIX. Jordan
The team has a tight schedule, leaving in the morning, playing in the afternoon, and coming back for dinner in the evening. The regional aircraft will make the long-distance journey of thousands of kili as convenient as taking a flying car from Onchi City to the neighboring city of Junziwu.
But even if it was just a day's outing, after coming home in the evening to explain the situation to Joanna, it made the mother, who had never let her son go out alone, into nervousness, and immediately began to plan everything.
While she was busy, she told her son that the holographic watch for communication should be fully charged, and she had to call to report when she got on and off the plane to eat in the car. Bring a set of toiletries, flexible beam cutlery, and everything you eat out must be used!
Then there is food, a lot of snacks and fresh frog milk, and even emergency compressed biscuits that can be eaten for ten days, no one knows what trouble will be encountered when going far away, so you have to be prepared, you have to think about it.
Jonny and Joanna didn't dare to tell the truth, joining the rugby team or something, maybe it would make the trip completely ruined, he only said that it was a club practice activity, and this is obviously not a lie, but the saber-toothed tiger club is a little bigger, and this so-called activity is also a little more intense.
So when Jonny shows up on the school bus to the airport with his huge backpack on his back, even his best friend Roger laughs at him, and the blonde kid tears tears out of his eyes when he sees Jonny's embarrassment.
"It's not like following the flower butterflies that pop out of the cracks in the trees to travel to the Android Sea, my JFK, we just went to the Sea of Mirrors to play a game, and you actually brought out all the slippers." He laughed and fell straight into his seat.
Jonny spotted a few familiar faces in the seats he passed by, and he still remembered their names as he had played with them the last time he was in the 'Pitch'.
Brother Rosas. Young sat at the end with his younger brother Isaiah. Yang sat at the door of the car, and the two brothers, both big and young, looked at him as if they were in the car, and their eyes passed straight through him, as if he was a transparent person.
Seth. Santos smiled at him, and when Jonny smiled and tried to say hello, he turned his long, scarred face away and laughed casually at a dark-skinned man beside him.
Jonny was ashamed, but not surprised, the rule of newcomers applies everywhere, and people don't know you yet, so they have no obligation to be nice to you. He sat quietly next to Roger, his backpack out of his hand, and let the friend reach in and rummage through it.
……
Joni's regional aircraft is divided into three rows of seats, the aircraft is not very large, except for the floor below, the entire passenger area is separated from the outside world by a semi-oval transparent material.
This exceptionally strong nano transparent material contains a special coating, which can adjust the light transmittance of the material according to the temperature or the needs of the user, although it is the cold season of Qilian, but flying over the Mirror Sea, the light of the Mega is still strong, so except for the upper part of the body of the passenger on the side is transparent, the rest of the transparent fuselage is warm, and it is not transparent, and the outside scenery cannot be seen.
The flight to Keishin City was empty, with nearly 100 spacious and comfortable seats being used only partially, and Newton High School students accounted for more than half.
The stewardess wore a uniform and pushed the dining car to distribute drinks and ibic snacks along the seats, a trip of more than an hour, but the relative service was worth the fare.
Jonny stared at Roger's sleeping position, the blonde boy lay his chair almost flat, curled up and sleeping like a wounded puppy, sometimes snoring, sometimes babbling, salivating at the corners of his mouth, and clutching a pack of magic beans he had snatched from Jony's bag.
"He's recuperating......" a voice came to mind, and Jonny turned his head to find a handsome dark-skinned young man smiling at him on the other side of the aisle.
"I'm sorry......" Jonny didn't understand.
"I mean he's recuperating, it's a trick for him to stay fit before the game......" The lad looked at Jonny with a smile that looked sunny.
"I'm Ben. Jordan. He held out his hand, and Jonny quickly reached out to shake him.
"Jonny. Kent, nice to meet you. He said.
"I know your name, welcome to the Sabertooth Tigers." Ben nodded.
"It's not even joined, to be honest, I got on this plane in a daze." Jonny said with some embarrassment.
"Who isn't? I've been on the team for more than a year, and I still don't know what I'm doing sitting here. Ben laughed and wrinkled his nose.
"What position are you playing? I mean, about the same as Roger? As soon as Jonny said this, he immediately felt that this was a stupid question, he didn't understand the rules of football at all, and he thought about the position from the perspective of basketball, so he quickly used Roger as a reference.
"A runner? Haha, you're so funny...... "Ben. Jordan laughed.
"But if that's true, my daily prayers to Yahweh have not been in vain." He suddenly straightened his face and said with a serious look of longing.
"I'm a kicker, you see, humble special service team base salary players, we are standard handymen and substitutes, according to Lao Mo's words, it's 'scraps of cold rice', and we can't afford to be an Ibick meal."
"Kick the player?" Jonny wondered.
“…… Don't get me wrong, Ben, I don't know anything about rugby. When he saw Ben's somewhat darkening eyes, he immediately explained.
This time it was Ben's turn to look at Johnny strangely. "Don't understand rugby? Oh Johnny, I'm kind of believing what you just said now, maybe you really got on the wrong plane, hehe. He wrinkled his nose and smiled.
"But it doesn't matter." He hurriedly comforted Jonny.
"If that's Coach Watt's idea, there's got to make a point, and of course, it's almost certainly a complicated and twisted one." He wanted to laugh again.
Jonny then discovers that Ben. Jordan is a funny guy who loves to laugh.
Meet very talkative and friendly Ben. Jordan, who was originally a little confused by Roger's impatient answer and Jonny didn't intend to ask, can get a very clear answer.
There happened to be two empty seats next to Ben, so Jonny took the initiative to sit down in order to humbly ask the saber-toothed Tigers second-year student for advice.
"Your friend is a great man." Ben said to Jonny.
"There are only a handful of first-year recruits who can play the main position soon after joining the team."
"He's been playing rugby since junior high school, right?" Jonny said.
"Well, in Puxing Angel City, he should be an ace player, he seems to be very famous in the junior high school league there, and after graduation, high school teams in multiple divisions rushed to ask for him, but then he came here to Newton School Park." As an official player of the Sabertooth Tigers, Ben. Jordan knew a little more about his teammates' past athletic careers than Jonny.
"With him joining the Sabertooth Tigers, Coach Walter doesn't say anything, but he is really happy in his heart, and you see, there are a few new entries in this year's playbook for ball-handling impacts, which are all specially designed for Roger." Ben sighed.
