Chapter Twenty-Nine: I don't know what it means to be tired
Early the next morning.
Sethi boarded the tram for a week's absence.
Perhaps it's because today is the last day of the Sansha Festival, and it's the day when the three shrines of Asakusa Shrine parade and enter and exit the shrine.
So there weren't many people on the tram.
Those who were expected to take a leave of absence all went to the memorial procession dressed in vintage clothes from the Edo period, and marched through the streets of Tokyo.
The origin of the Sansha Festival is closely related to the origin of Sensoji Temple.
About 1,300 years ago, Hinomae Hamari and Hinomae Takenari were fishing in the Miyato River, when two fishermen and brothers, caught a statue of the god and handed it to Togashi Manakachi, who decided that it was an icon of Kannon Bodhisattva and enshrined it, and Sensoji Temple was born.
Later, the three brothers of Toshi Manakachi and Hinozen were revered as the "Sansha Quanxian", that is, the incarnation of the Bodhisattva, and were worshipped, and Asakusa Shrine was born.
The Sansha Festival is a festival commemorating these three people, and since 1312, it has been held annually on the third Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of May, and usually around May 17 and 18, and is one of the three major festivals in Edo.
I just don't know what the true origin looks like in the otherworld... Sethi said to himself.
After all, as a huge Sensoji Temple, the way of origin that is now widely spread is that it is just two fishermen picking up a statue of a god... It's a little too shabby, and it's too fake.
In the beginning, the Sansha Festival was carried by boat along the river and was called "Funatomi".
Nowadays, it has been changed to a street parade, counting the 19:00 ceremony that began at 19:00 the day before yesterday, starting with the Shinko Shrine Shrine Deity Movement Ceremony, a total of four days.
On the first day, there is a grand parade with choreographed wood dances and hand dances at Asakusa Shrine and Kaguraden, followed by a ceremony for the gods of each town to move to the shrine.
On the second day, there is a regular festival festival in Kagura-den, and on the third day, today, is the day of leaving the palace, and staying until 19:00 to 21:00 at night is the entrance to the shrine of Asakusa Shrine.
It is also a fireworks festival that Tokyo people have been waiting for for a long time.
There will also be a variety of vendors in the commercial streets around Sensoji Temple to carry out temple fair games and sell Buddhism-related gadgets, so Seti plans to accompany her mother and sister to go shopping and find some other Buddhist classics to read and try her luck.
But that's what to do at night.
Today, during the day, Seti's first goal is, of course, to go to school.
Get off the tram.
Seti didn't have to walk long before she came to the entrance of Ouran Middle School.
With the addition of the Sansha Festival on Sundays, the number of students in the school is now almost negligible.
Seti walked through the cherry blossom trees at the school gate, bypassed the school building, and came to the track and field at the back.
On the right-hand side is the towering stadium, where the boxing club and his beloved corner sandbags are located.
And Seti still bypassed it altogether.
Come to the 100-meter start of the track and field.
Stand with your arms crossed and patiently watch the training of everyone in the track and field club in front of you.
To complete the second task:
[Without the help of any ability, run 100 meters in 10 seconds, you can gain experience: 400 points]
He's here to learn how to sprint!
Last night, by querying Yahoo entries and watching related videos on Station N, Seti has a certain understanding of the 100-meter sprint.
Understand that this is a sprint track event and you must use a starting block.
For ordinary people who have not been trained, the 100-meter performance is generally between 13~17 seconds, and if they can run into 13 seconds, they are already extremely talented, and every time they progress even 0.1 seconds, they need to make great efforts.
Tokyo's current high school athletics championship has a best time of 10.91 seconds, while Japan's sprint champion is Ryota Yamayama in 2021 with a big tailwind of 2 meters per second and a time of 9.95 seconds.
Other words.
Seti had thought a little too much about the task of running 100 meters into 10 seconds without using any ability.
The 100-meter sprint is not only a physical fitness, but also a comprehensive exercise that tests explosiveness, muscle endurance, talent and skills, cardiopulmonary and so on.
Sethi is not too panicked about his body, after all, he has the heart of a half-beast, and then he will continue to train desperately.
And in terms of skills.
Seti was stunned just by watching the instructional video.
That's why I decided to come to the middle school track and field club for a field trip and secretly teach.
Seti looked up at the athletics club, which had not had many people.
The gaze wandered for a moment.
Among all the people who train for sprinting on the 100-meter track today, a wheat-colored broad-faced man who looks like a thief is "a Showa boy who can drive a warship" is the most prominent.
He is not tall, but his thigh muscles are quite strong, and he is warming up and stretching in the same place with his legs raised high.
With the eight big white teeth exposed, and the passionate and meticulous professional warm-up movements, Seti naturally set his eyes on the other party.
It is estimated that he is a sprinting "veteran" of the track and field club, and I will first stare at him to learn... Seti thought.
It didn't take long for the warship man to finish warming up, and then he came to the starting point of the 100-meter track, adjusted the distance between his feet on the starting frame, and stepped on the soles of his feet steadily, while supporting the ground with both hands, and adopting a squatting starting position.
The hips are gradually raised, and the center of gravity is leaned forward.
Phew-
The warship man rushed out like the wind!
The quadriceps muscles of the thighs have distinct roots and tendons, and they are full of explosiveness.
But he didn't take two steps, but the warship man shook his head and slowed down and stopped.
A slight frown seemed to show that he was dissatisfied with the start he had just started, and he walked back to the starting frame and continued to concoct the same method, running and stopping, practicing the start.
This has been the case several times in a row.
But the other party's distress and many attempts have just made Seti a reality.
Seti, who had a full view of the essentials of his starting move, couldn't help but nod his head frequently.
He felt... I learned it myself!
It's better to give it a try.
Seti simply got up and hurried towards the stadium.
Anyway, he is now a tall horse with strong muscles, and he is no longer the little puppy he was a week ago, so he easily blended into the track and field club without attracting the attention of others.
He came to the starting point of 100 meters next to the man on the warship, picked a starting frame, and adjusted it in a similar way.
At the same time, it also adopts a squatting starting position.
Hips... Rush on!
The strong strand and physique made Seti shoot out like a bullet, and then kicked the ground.
The word "strong and powerful" was released all over the body.
Coupled with Seti's tall body, he is simply a muscular demon in the world!
Immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding track and field club members.
"Who is this, is it from our track and field club, why haven't you seen it?"
"It's kind of like Haaland..."
"That devil muscle man who eats a child? Don't say it, it's like huh. ”
The warship man next to him, who was carving the start, also stopped, and watched Sethi's powerful dash up close, his wide wheat-colored face showing surprise, but his eyes lit up suddenly.
The other side.
Seti, who didn't care about the discussion of the people around him, ran recklessly all the way, and the distance of 100 meters passed in an instant.
After standing firm, he called up the task panel and looked at it:
Next to the second task, there is a timer:
[12.03]
Only 12 seconds? It's a bit slow... Although this is a rather exaggerated result for a first-time 100-meter dash who has not trained much, it is a bit slow for Sethi, who aims to break "10" in a month.
He walked back to the starting point and ran again.
[11.99 seconds]
?
Why, I can't have such a garbage in my body now, right? Seti was full of question marks.
When you're ready to run again.
The warship man with a hearty smile with eight big white teeth suddenly walked up to Seti and greeted, "You don't seem to be from our track and field club, right?" ”
"Well, I'm from the boxing club next door." Seti replied, pointing to the gymnasium not far away.
"Boxing club..."The warship man looked at Seti in surprise, and after seeing his arms with obvious lines on the outside of his short-sleeved school uniform, he recalled Seti's running posture just now, and suddenly realized, "I see, you want to practice explosiveness." ”
"Let's just put it that way." Seti replied casually.
Then he looked at the warship man who was smirking enthusiastically, and at first glance he was a spiritual big brother.
Occur:
Why don't you ask for advice?
With the experience of a little boxing fan, Seti understands the importance of being open to consulting professionals.
This will save you a lot of detours.
So Sethi, who once again had a certain B number of his current sprinting skills, sincerely asked the professionals for advice: "Excuse me, do you know how to improve sprinting in a short period of time... Ah no, explosiveness? ”
Seeing this, the warship man showed a hearty smile like a senior big brother, his white teeth were shining, and he said with full spirit:
"You're in the right question!"
Then he stomped on the starting frame with both feet, put on a standard squatting starting position, and at the same time turned his head to Seti:
"A strength workout that does more with less is indispensable for the standard training position that best conforms to the muscle structure."
Seti takes a closer look.
I also stepped on the starting frame in the same way.
With just one glance, the man on the warship noticed a lot of problems with Sethi.
He got down directly from his starting frame, approached Sethi, and enthusiastically squatted on the ground to debug, saying, "The distance between the two pedals of your starting frame is set a little close.
"It's usually a foot to a foot and a half distance, but with your height and leg length, it's at least a foot and a half distance."
Seti raised his right foot slightly, and as the warship man helped Seti pull the distance between the two pedals of the starting frame, Seti stepped on his right foot again, and suddenly felt a lot stretched.
"Thank you, I'm feeling better." Seti thanked him sincerely.
"Huh! There's nothing to be thankful for, it's all a school... Also, the angle you just started at the beginning is actually a bit problematic, generally the body has to lean forward at 45 degrees and pop out from the direction of the head. ”
Having said that, listening to Seti's thanks, the warship man had a hearty smile on his face and reminded Seti more patiently.
Sincerity is really nirvana.
Sethi nodded and complied.
The warship man reached out to support Seti's body, fine-tuned it, showed his big white teeth, and gave a thumbs up energetically:
"That's right! That's it, very standard, very spiritual!! It is worthy of learning boxing, and the ability to coordinate and control the body is strong. ”
Then he said to Sethi:
"You can try to get off to a good start, it should be much better than just now... Take a deep breath, hold it in your abdomen, and then heel to the ground in the first five steps of the acceleration phase, push the ground with all your might, and when the speed is raised, lean forward slightly, increase the cadence, and take a big step. ”
"Hmm." Seti took the words of the warship man to heart.
Take a deep breath, hoard in the abdominal cavity, and then gradually lift your hips, and the femur and soleus muscles and gastrocnemius muscles are tensed at the same time, like a sports car stepping on the brakes and accelerator.
Immediately.
Teng –
Push hard, start in an instant!
The angle and power are correct Seti, and he completely gives full play to his strong physique, and the starting speed of the whole person is fast enough to roll up gusts of dust.
Teng Teng.
After standing up straight, connect to the early acceleration footwork of pushing the ground with all your might, and each heel seems to be able to feel the pulse of the earth.
The warship man witnessed such a big change in the two starts of Sethi after a slight adjustment, and he couldn't help but be shocked by Seti's terrifying learning ability.
Such a standard starting movement is almost the same as that of a sprinter who has been training for a long time.
Seti swept past the 100-meter finish line like a gust of wind.
Can't wait to look down at the time:
[10.51 seconds!] 】
That's right!!
This should be the result that I should run in my body now... Seti nodded in satisfaction.
When he walked back to the starting point.
The warship man also walked out of the shock, his big white teeth flashed, and he said approvingly: "Very energetic!"
"Such body control and explosiveness really tickle me... Interested in switching to sprinting? I feel like if you're going to do sprinting, there's nothing going on with Bolt. ”
Some people say I'm comparable to Tyson in boxing, and some people say I'm comparable to Usain Bolt in sprinting... Tsk, is this the pressure that geniuses need to bear... Seti shook his head silently and said:
"I don't have this plan for the time being, so let's practice casually first."
"Haha, how can training be casual..."The warship man looked forward to it: "Or, let's practice together?" ”
A good training partner is the most effective way to help improve your strength.
This is also true for Seti, if you want to break 100 meters in a short time, it is important to have an experienced training partner, so he also nodded his head:
"Yes, but my training volume is 100 million points, if you feel tired, you can rest in advance."
Hearing this, the warship man hurriedly patted his chest energetically and played the package ticket:
"You underestimate me too much, I'm a cow and a mountain, and I don't know what it means to be tired in my life!
"I'm going to compete in three months, and now is the time to train hard!"
That's good... Sethi was relieved and said:
"In that case, let's get started, how do you practice first?"
"Explosive and strength training first, drag the tires and sprint for ten laps of the playground!" The warship man said excitedly.
He had no idea what he was going to face next...
Soon, as time passed, minute by minute.
Their conversation also gradually changed:
"Are you tired?"
"I'm not tired, just keep practicing."
“... Oh..."
"You... Not tired yet? ”
"I'm not tired! I just sweated a little, and this is where it is. ”
“........”
"You... Whew... You... It's true... Not tired? ”
"Well, it's a little bit, let's take a break."
Hearing this, the warship man was relieved, his legs trembled and he collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, and his wheat-colored broad face full of energy was full of prostration at the moment, becoming whiter than Yajuro.
He looked into the eyes of Setty... There is already a hint of horror...
They practiced at high intensity all morning, and a series of strength, explosion, and skill training, such as weight-bearing sprints, high leg lifts hitting the wall, and five steps up to the wall, were almost catching up with his usual half-week amount.
And he was tired and half dead, but Seti was like a nobody.
This... Still human?
I'm a cow and a mountain, and I don't know what it means to be tired in my life... Kuku Ku Ku ... Seti stretched his pantothenic muscles and said with a smile:
"I'm going to buy a meal to eat, and in half an hour, go on?"
The warship man's face was distorted, and he instinctively refused for the sake of his own life.
But thinking of the Tokyo Campus Athletics Championships, which was the most important thing for him after March, he finally nodded with difficulty, showed a smile that was uglier than death, and went to his death:
“... Good! ”
