Obviously it was the first time they met, but Yang Ping people suddenly felt that the martial arts were quite cordial, as if they had known each other for a long time, such a feeling, Yang Ping people had never felt it.

Jinguji Martial Dao's tone was soft, and there was no other taste in the eyes of the few of them. Such a look in the eyes is equal, and people have hardly seen it from others. As a well-known five-member group in Heguang Middle School, the reputation of several of them in the school is quite average, and most of the classmates know Yohei because they fight.

A group of middle school students who are supposed to attend classes in the school, with airplane heads and in and out of the pachinko shop, no matter how you look at it, are not the kind of people who like it.

When the eyes of fear and disdain appeared in the eyes of any passer-by who saw them, Yohei would not feel any surprise. On the contrary, it is the attitude of Jingu Temple Martial Arts, they are really rare. In the future, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Oda Ryumasa don't deal with each other, and it's not entirely because of the leaves.

And Akagi Haruko was able to mix with the Sakuragi Legion, not entirely because Sakuragi Hanamichi liked Haruko. Among girls, only a natural stay like Haruko will have no prejudice against foreign people.

"Jinguji senior, it's the first time we met, I'm sorry for what happened just now."

"My name is Yuji Daisu, you can call me Dainan."

Seeing that Martial Dao's attitude was so soft, Yuji Danu suddenly became happy, and the matter of Martial Dao knocking them down before was suddenly left behind his head, and he hurriedly came to Martial Dao's body and shook hands with Martial Dao, looking like a dog.

"Jinguji senior, my name is Mito Yohei, and I am a good friend of Ikebana, and I heard Ikebana mention you."

"Ikebana often mentions you, and your kindness to ikebana has always been remembered in my heart."

When Mito Yohei said "kindness", the names of the martial arts of Jinguji Temple changed, and it felt quite polite. If it weren't for Martial Dao's familiarity with these guys, it would be hard to imagine that a bad boy like Yohei would say such polite words. You know, Yohei Mito is the one who dares to do something with the senior students and dare to rebuke the teacher.

Nozomi Takamiya and Noma Tadaichiro also came to Martial Arts to greet and introduce themselves. They knew that Jinguji Martial Arts was the one who had saved Sakuragi Hanamichi's father, and their attitude towards Martial Arts had a 180° reversal.

The previous hostility had long since dissipated, and even Takamiya proposed to let Takemichi go to eat noodles together, saying something like "repay well".

I was somewhat happy to be able to meet Sakuragi Hanamichi and these martial arts, and I got up early and ran so many ways, and when Gao Gong said this, my stomach was indeed a little hungry, and in the face of Gao Gong's invitation, Wu Dao also gladly agreed.

...

Not far across the street from the pinball shop, there is a ramen shop open.

Because it was a Saturday and it was early, there weren't many customers in the store.

The manager of the ramen shop is a middle-aged man in his forties, who seems to have known Sakuragi Hanamichi and the others for an old time, and greets them warmly when they come in.

"Sakuragi, let's eat noodles!"

"What do you want to eat today?"

The store manager stood behind the dough with a white apron, kneading the dough with both hands, and while greeting everyone, his eyes kept looking at Takemi's body. It's not the first time he has known these five children Sakuragi, and there is suddenly an extra person in this small group, how could he not pay attention.

"Uncle, I want tonkotsu ramen! The noodles should be a little more~" Sakuragi Hanamichi didn't even look at the menu, and shouted directly, and at the same time walked to the store familiarly, found a place to sit down, and greeted martial arts at the same time.

"Little brother... No, big brother, what do you eat?! ”

"Let me tell you, my uncle's tonkotsu ramen is a signature and tastes good."

Sakuragi Hanamichi shouted, a smile on her face.

"Really? Then I'll have tonkotsu ramen too. Takemichi nodded, smiled and said to the boss, and then went to the seat on the other side of the flower arrangement, and sat down opposite the flower arrangement.

Takamiya, Noma, and Dainan ordered their favorite food, and then squeezed together with Sakuragi Hanamichi, and I don't know how the four of them sat on the horizontal chair that was originally a three-seater.

"Jinguji senior, drink." When Mito Yohei came over, he still had a few bottles of drinks in his hand, placed one on everyone's table, and then looked at his seat, smiled and sat down next to Takemi.

"Senior, I heard that when you saved Sakuragi Hanamichi and his father, you single-handedly overturned 7.8 opponents?!"

"Is it true?! At that time, you seemed to be still a junior high school student, right?! Aren't so many high school students on the other side your opponent?! ”

"You weren't seriously injured at the time, is there a hospital?!"

At this moment when everyone sat down and waited for the ramen, Da Nan, Takamiya and Noma couldn't help their curiosity, propped their hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and asked Martial Arts one by one. The three of them actually had a tacit understanding when they asked questions, and there was no repetition.

Wu Dao couldn't help but smile when he saw the other party's active appearance, and said:

"It's true!"

"Eh, back then, those guys were quite rampant, I just soiled their school uniforms, and they actually wanted me to lose money."

"Then how can I bear it~"

"As for what you said about saving Ikebana's father, it's just a coincidence, don't take it to heart, Ikebana's father, it was Ikebana who saved it."

"There were quite a lot of people who besieged me back then......."

Jinguji Martial Arts couldn't help but talk more when he was with Sakuragi Hanamichi and others, and began to brag about each other. said how he easily knocked the opponent's 7.8 to the ground. But only Wu Dao himself knew that if it weren't for the golden bell hood iron cloth shirt, extremely resistant to beating, and boxing for fist, he would have decided not to be able to do so many people at that time.

While the martial arts were blowing about their deeds with the other party, the three of Danan were amazed, and even Sakuragi Hanamichi looked at the martial arts of Jinguji Temple a little blankly. Sakuragi Hanamichi went to the hospital with his father at that time, and he didn't know the battle situation at all.

A young boy of this age has a natural obsession with "martial arts masters" like martial arts.

On the contrary, it was Mito Yohei, who held his chin with one hand when Martial Arts told about the achievements of the year, and looked at Martial Arts with a smile, unlike Hanamichi and others who were shocked.

"Big brother, how did you become so strong?"

"Can we become as strong as you too?!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi was quite fascinated by the combat power of martial arts, staring at martial arts with his eyes, and asked sincerely.

"Hehe, of course it's because I'm practicing..... I'm an athlete! ”

Jinguji Martial Arts' eyes narrowed, looking at Sakuragi Hanamichi's fascinated look, and said with a smile.

"Luck! Move! Healthy! Will! ”

Sakuragi Hanamichi's eyes were about to pop up with little stars, and when he suddenly heard the word athlete, his whole person became extremely excited.

"Your ramen is here!"

At this time, the owner of the ramen shop came to the crowd with a tray, and then placed three bowls of tonkotsu ramen in front of Jinguji Martial Arts, Mito Yohei, and Sakuragi Hanamichi.

When the boss looked at Wu Dao, he suddenly accosted: "You.... I seem to remember who you are. ”

"You are the first-year ace of the Xiangbei High School basketball team! Jinguji martial arts! ”

The boss looked at the martial arts of Jinguji Temple and said with a look of surprise.

"Huh? Do you know me? ”

Wu Dao glanced at the boss in surprise and asked strangely. And Sakuragi Hanamichi and the others heard the word "trump card", and they all looked at the boss.

Even Yohei looked at the boss with a surprised face, he listened to what martial arts said so much, and always thought that martial arts was bragging, but he didn't expect that the "athlete" was actually real?

"Hehe, don't look at me like this, I'm also a basketball lover."

"I watched the game between Xiangbei and Xiangyang, and I was far away at the time, so I didn't see your appearance too clearly, but I still have an impression of your figure."

"I was a little unsure when I heard Yohei call you the predecessor of Jingu Temple, but now it's confirmed."

"I didn't expect you to be with Ikebana and them, and come to my shop to eat noodles."

The boss was a little emotional when he spoke, and his eyes softened when he looked at Hanamichi and the others.

"Wait a minute, I'll get you some side dishes." Without waiting for Takeshi and the others to say thank you, the boss left the guest table and walked towards the back kitchen.

After the boss left, Sakuragi Hanamichi and others looked at the martial arts, and Sakuragi Hanamichi at this time was more interested in "athletes". Although he has a simple mind, Sakuragi can still see that the boss added side dishes to them because of the relationship between Jinguji Martial Arts.

And Sakuragi Hanamichi can see that Martial Arts seems to be a "celebrity".

Suddenly, Sakuragi Hanamichi's expression became serious, and he didn't eat noodles, he stood up from his seat all of a sudden, and said seriously towards Jinguji Martial Arts: "Big brother, I also want to be an athlete!" ”

"What am I going to do?!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi is quite serious, and the tone of his speech is also quite resolute. Seeing Hanamichi like this, Martial Arts laughed happily, but the smile didn't stay long and disappeared quickly.

Do you want Sakuragi Hanamichi to touch basketball now? He himself is already a high school student, and Sakuragi Hanamichi is a junior high school student, and the time for the two to meet is probably very small. Martial Arts himself has to practice in the arena after school, is it possible for a beginner like Sakuragi Hanamichi to practice with them in Xiangbei?

Even if you can practice, who will teach Sakuragi's foundation? Without the presence of Haruko Akagi, Sakuragi's heat is probably only three minutes, and if there is no supervision, is it possible for Sakuragi to insist on training on his own in normal time?

Obviously, it can't be. The basketball team of Heguang Middle School will not want Sakuragi, the third year of junior high school, the zero-based Sakuragi Flower Road is not something that the junior high school colleges will cultivate, because it is not instant combat power, and it does not have training value.

Guiding Sakuragi Hanamichi to play basketball, Martial Arts decided not to interfere. If he could have crossed a few years earlier, Martial Arts would have really taken the initiative to change the trajectory of Ikebana, but for now, forget it.

One day, Sakuragi Hanamichi will meet a girl who is destined to be borne, and that girl will take Sakuragi Hanamichi into the world of basketball. With Sakuragi Hanamichi's talent, even if he started practicing in high school, he was able to grow rapidly, not to mention becoming a superstar like Duncan, and there was no problem in stepping out of his own basketball path.

Although Martial Arts decided to hand over the matter of guiding Ikebana to Haruko Akagi, it does not mean that Ikebana cannot be cultivated at this stage. Basketball is a sport after all, but if it is a sport, it is about the body.

Sakuragi Hanamichi doesn't play ball, but physical exercise can be carried out, and at his age, low- to medium-intensity workouts can maximize the physical potential of ikebana.

Without any physical exercise, you can bang your head when you first enter the school in high school, and if you can add a little exercise, Sakuragi's bounce, strength, and endurance can reach a terrifying level, and martial arts have some expectations.

"Athletes!"

"Becoming an athlete is a very hard workout, can you persevere?"

All kinds of thoughts, but it is just a matter of a moment, looking at Hanamichi's serious expression, Wu Dao picked it up quickly, took a sip, and said casually.

"Of course! No matter what hard workout, I can do it! ”

"I'm a genius!"

Sakuragi Hanamichi nodded, then sat back in his seat and answered.

"That's right, let's eat first, let's talk after eating." Wu Dao said with a smile, at this moment when the two of them were chatting, Yohei, Gao Gong and the others had already eaten. Regarding Ikebana's words about becoming an athlete, these friends are not taken to heart, that is, the left ear in and out of the right ear.

They know a lot about the character of ikebana, and there is a high probability that it will be three minutes hot.

After a while, the manager brought two plates of beef to everyone, and Hanamichi and Yohei thanked them for their kindness, and then quickly swept up the meat. After eating the noodles, Sakuragi Hanamichi rubbed his stomach and walked out of the store by himself, without the slightest intention of settling the bill.

The people of Takamiya dug into their pockets, emptied their trouser pockets, and couldn't find even a single coin, and after looking at each other, they looked at Mito Yohei.

Mito Yohei's face darkened, and then he sighed helplessly, and was about to pay for it, when he saw Takeshi take out a large amount of paper and give it to the boss.

"Let me ask you, who made me a senior."

Wu Dao smiled at Yohei, waited for the boss to give change, and after getting the money, he and Yohei and the others left the noodle shop.

Staying up all night is a very harmful thing for older young people in their thirties, but it is a minor problem for teenagers like Sakuragi Hanamichi and Mito Yohei.

Eating a bowl of noodles, these young men who had just stayed all night looked energetic again. From the faces of Sakuragi Hanamichi and Yohei, Martial Arts couldn't even see any tired expressions.

As soon as Sakuragi Hanamichi came out of the noodle shop, he pestered Martial Arts and asked Martial Arts to teach him how to become an athlete.

"Hanamichi, although your spirit is not bad, the damage to people all night is still very great."

"The premise of becoming an athlete is to have a good body."

"Don't do this kind of thing after all-nighters, and you're not fit to train today."

"Do you know about Flagside Park? If you want to be an athlete, go find me there tomorrow at this point. ”

"Oh, that's right, ikebana."

"Don't wait for obsolescence!"

After the martial arts of Jinguji Temple finished speaking, he slowly said goodbye to Hanamichi and the others and left.

As for why you should give Sakuragi Hanamichi a time limit?

It's very simple, it's just a simple little test.

If Sakuragi Hanamichi can't even be punctual, it means that Sakuragi Hanamichi is not enthusiastic at this stage, even if the martial arts are really taught, he won't practice, rather than wasting the time of the two, it's better not to teach at the beginning, and when Hanamichi really wants to learn, it's too late to hand it in.

This is like educating children to read, for a child who is not interested in reading, instead of cramming some knowledge points, it is better to guide the child to like reading first.

If you really don't have any interest in this area, it means that you really don't have talent in this area.

Interest is actually part of talent.
