"Finally!" "Finally!" "Finally!"
Gong Yu, Gong Zhi, and Tenwon Sakuya raised their hands and cheered: "Free——"
The three of them recalled the hellish time of tutoring and couldn't help but shed tears. They had never looked forward to training before a game so much. Even if they were exhausted here today, it would be better than being looked up and down by their peers who hated the iron and doubted their IQ. Good.
Coach Kurosu twitched the corner of his mouth and hit them on the head one by one: "Come here to pack your things and eat, don't waste your training time!"
Gong Yu/Gong Zhi/Tianyuan Sakuya: Instant Honesty.jpg
The accommodation conditions for the pre-match training organized this time were not as good as those in Shiratorizawa. The location of this training was in a relatively remote countryside, with country roads and mountains just outside the door. There were only a few quaint hotels to choose from.
Assistant Xiaolin completed the formalities at the front desk. There were three rooms in total. The players crowded into the Chase bunk. The coaches also considered that these young boys would feel uncomfortable living with the players, so they could only grit their teeth and pay for one. Double room.
After urging the players to pack their things, take a break after lunch, and finally be able to kick off the pre-match training session.
"Ahem," Coach Kurosu coughed twice to signal the players to focus, "Now that everyone has eaten and drank enough, our three-day training session has officially begun."
"First of all," Coach Kurosu pointed to the scene behind him, "Have you seen the mountain behind me?"
The players looked up, looked up, and looked up again in the direction of the coach's finger.
Isn't this mountain a little too high?
Many players already have a bad premonition in their hearts: It won't be what I thought, right? !
Coach Kurosu smiled kindly: "That's right, it's what everyone thinks. The first training event is mountain climbing."
One of the players said hesitantly: "Well...coach, how do you climb?"
"That's a good question," Coach Kurosu said, "It's very simple. See the road below us. This road leads directly to the top of the mountain."
"I need you to run along this road to the top of the mountain within three hours. No one is allowed to fall behind and no one is allowed to take shortcuts."
"Once someone falls behind or takes a shortcut, and I find out, everyone, that's right, everyone will be punished."
"..."
Coach Kurosu asked calmly: "What's the problem?"
Big Ear Lian raised his hand: "Coach, what does this laggard mean?"
"The meaning of not being left behind is that all members must reach the top of the mountain within three hours, and no one will be missed."
"As for those who want to take shortcuts," Coach Kurosu shrugged, "Unless you can clean all the mud from the seams of your shoes, then everyone will be punished."
That makes sense! Damn it, is this your master’s conspiracy? We went to the mountains specifically to train and it turns out that there is still this skill waiting for us!
Coach Kurosu looked around and saw that there were no other problems. He took out his sunglasses from his trouser pocket and put them on, then jumped into the off-road vehicle next to him: "Then start the timer. Assistant Xiaolin and I will wait for you at the top of the mountain. Come on~ ~”
Everyone in Inarizaki:...
Seeing the coaches disappearing at the end of the road, Gong Yu raised his legs and wanted to follow them, but was stopped by Bei Shinsuke: "Yu, don't be anxious yet, let's discuss it."
"Ah?" Gong Yoo didn't understand what was worth discussing. "If it's not just running, what's the point..."
Gong Zhi decisively covered Gong Yoo's mouth: "Senior Bei, you guys discuss this."
Apart from single-celled volleyball creatures like Gong Yu, Bei Shinsuke and Dayer Lian had more things in mind:
Even though it is just a simple run, to ensure that all members reach the top of the mountain within the specified time without anyone taking shortcuts, the best solution is for everyone to act at the same time.
In this way, people who are not very good at speed and endurance will not have the idea of giving up because they are too far behind.
And if anyone wants to take a shortcut, they will lose the opportunity to be lazy because they are operating with a large force.
Several senior students exchanged opinions in low voices, and finally decided to try the possibility of team action first.
Big Er simply explained his idea to everyone: "If someone can't hold on, we can take a break on the roadside every forty minutes."
For more than an hour, everyone was able to grit their teeth and persevere, but gradually, some people began to be unable to keep up with the speed of the large group.
Mechanical climbing is not only a test of physical strength, but also a torture of the mind.
After going around this bend, there are countless more bends waiting for you, and it seems that you can never see the end.
"Haven't you run for forty minutes yet?" One team member complained, "Can you take a rest where you are? I really can't run anymore."
"Yes, I can't run anymore either."
"I also want to rest for a few minutes, just a few minutes."
Big Er looked at his watch: "Twenty minutes have just passed, please hold on a little longer."
"..."
Although it cannot be refuted on the surface, in fact everyone can feel that the atmosphere in the team is gradually becoming strange.
Due to the irresistible difference in physical fitness, the distance between the main players and the alternate members began to widen.
The third graders running in front had no choice but to slow down their pace. Big Er wanted to open his mouth several times to adjust the atmosphere, but he really suffered from lack of prestige. Apart from encouraging everyone to continue working hard, he didn't know what to say.
Among the main candidates, Gong Yoo's expression clearly showed impatience. Although Gong Zhi seemed fine, the twins had the same set of DNA after all, and everyone knew that conflicts would break out sooner or later.
So, Coach Kurosu, if you want to take this opportunity to select the future leader of the team, can you let us know in advance? !
Big Er thought with a look of despair on his face, please come and save us third graders who are heartbroken! !
Just as Big Er was praying crazily in his heart, someone actually said: "Um, Senior Big Er..."
Big ear training:! ! !
Thank God, let me see which warrior steps up!
"Shuo, ahem, Shuo?"
Tianyuan Shuo, who didn't know when he ran to Senior Big Er, also smiled at him: "It's me, Senior."
Although Big Er did not expect the situation before him, he still tried to maintain the expression on his face: "Sakuya, what do you want to say?"
Tianyuan Shuo also considered and said: "Well, senior Big Er, does he know how long the average time of each round in a volleyball match is?"
Big Er was filled with questions at these words: "...What?"
Tianyuan Shuo also added in a low voice: "Well, in fact, according to statistics, each round in a volleyball match lasts about 40-60 minutes."
Many players secretly pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what he wanted to express.
"What I mean is," Tianyuan Shuo also tried to organize his words, "if we follow the competition system of the county competition and the spring high school competition, the time to complete the five rounds should be about three hours."
“…”
Big Er gradually realized what the somewhat embarrassed blond boy in front of him wanted to express.
"So, I think Coach Kurosu's emphasis on everyone having to run to the top of the mountain within three hours is probably due to considerations of game length and teamwork."
Tianyuan Shuo also carefully looked at the expressions of his teammates: "If everyone thinks like this, will they be more motivated?"
Inarizaki fell into silence:...Is Coach Kurosu’s intention so profound?
Tianyuan Shuo also looked at everyone with serious faces and thought he had said something wrong. He gradually became panicked: "Yes, I'm sorry. I said some confusing words without permission. I'm very sorry."
"No," Big Er touched his chin, "It makes sense. If you think about it this way, the coach's fundamental purpose is to test whether we can survive five games!"
"…Eh?"
Big Er's words became smoother and smoother: "Actually, the real intention of the coach is to train our cooperation and coordination abilities."
"If you can't even persist in simple group running, how can you say that you can successfully break through the county preliminaries and participate in the spring high school competition this year?"
"You're right," a player with quick thinking followed Big Er's thoughts, "In the three-hour game, the team's conflicts will only become more and greater. If we can't get over this hurdle now, coach You will cry."
"If you think of this three-hour marathon as playing five games, it doesn't seem so difficult."
"Wow, I'm a little excited just thinking about it."
The solid atmosphere in the team just now was broken by everyone's words and emotions.
One person's pace quickened, and soon after, everyone's pace quickened in unison.
After all, how many people who say no, no, can persevere in Inarizaki's rigorous selection and training are really not conceited at all?
"Oh oh oh oh, let's run, let's run. The end of five rounds is ahead of us. We must seek good luck!"
"Come on -"
"Go, go, go!"
Gong Yoo, who looked impatient just now:!
"I don't know why," Gong Yoo was a little unhappy, "but no one is allowed to surpass me!!!"
Some hot-blooded idiots who were also single-minded felt the provocation and responded one after another: "Hey, Gong Yoo, aren't you a little too domineering?"
"I can't beat you in volleyball, but I won't give up easily in running!"
Watching them chase each other and disappearing around the corner: ...It turns out that you only need a few words to be resurrected with full health. Can you tell me earlier? !
The seniors looked at the idiots who were already running ahead and couldn't see anyone, and then looked at Tenwon Sakuya who still looked shy on his face: Hey, isn't this child's character a bit subtle?
Tenwon Sakuya: Why do you suddenly feel that the eyes of your seniors have become strange?
Daer patted his shoulder happily: "Well done, Sakuya, I think after we all graduate, you might be the one to carry the banner of Inarizaki."
Alan even leaned on Kitai Shinsuke's shoulder and exaggeratedly wiped away the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes.
Tenwon Sakuya, who kept smiling but was actually very confused: Strange, is my Japanese really that bad? Why can't I understand a word?
After witnessing everything, Kakuna touched his pocket and lamented that his mobile phone was not with him. After all, it was a pity that such a wonderful series did not have a single picture.
