Summer is getting deeper, and the temperature in Kanagawa is getting higher and higher during this period, losing the coolness and comfort of the past.
On the early morning of Saturday, Jinguji Martial Arts got up early as usual on rest days. Wearing a sweat-absorbent sweatshirt and a sweat towel wrapped around his hand, he left home while his parents were still asleep. .
The county competition selection schedule has also reached its final stage. As early as last Thursday and Friday, all the 8-to-4 games were over. The four teams that qualified for the semi-finals are Hainan, Lingnan, Xiangbei and Wuyuan High School. The old strong team Xiangyang High School was defeated by Shohoku, and the once outstanding seed team Buri High School was upset by Lingnan High School.
Wuyuan High School, which had always been a small and transparent school in the past, stood out from the least competitive Group D and advanced to the semi-finals, gaining the opportunity to compete with the other three teams for a spot in the national competition.
The semi-finals will be a round-robin format. At that time, Shohoku will play against these teams one by one. Finally, based on the number of wins and points difference, the two teams that will represent Kanagawa Prefecture in the national competition will be decided.
There is a buffer period of less than a week between the quarterfinals and the semifinals.
In order to let the team members relax, Shohoku High School did not have training tasks during this weekend. In order to prevent hard-working players such as Miyagi Ryota and Budo from coming to the school to practice on their own, Mitsui Hisashi even locked the gymnasium.
Although the school's gymnasium is locked by Hisashi Mitsui, the martial arts training plan will not change much because of this. The daily morning run still needs to be completed.
Martial Arts went out very early, only about six o'clock in the morning, but because it was summer, it was already bright at six o'clock in the morning. Although it was already broad daylight, most of the shops along the street were still closed, with only some 24-hour convenience stores and some breakfast shops open.
"Hoho...hoo...hoho...hoo."
The steps of Jinguji Martial Arts are light and healthy, and the breathing and breathing are quite rhythmic. After running for nearly a thousand meters, the martial arts will change the running rhythm, sprint for nearly 100 meters, then slow down, and then continue running. Kilometers, the cycle repeats until the system task is completed.
...
The early morning sunlight passed over the buildings and illuminated the ground.
At the entrance of a pinball shop, a group of five people were walking out of the shop. The group of five was headed by a red-haired young man with a haircut, wearing a pure white T-shirt and a pair of navy blue trousers. Wearing leather shoes, she looks like a social person. At this time, the young man who had just come out of the pinball shop was looking at the deserted street with squinted eyes.
“Ahhhhh!
! "
"I lost everything again, damn it! Sakuragi, it's because of you being an idiot. If you hadn't caused trouble, I would never have lost!"
A young man with dyed yellow hair complained to the tall young man next to him with an angry face.
It was a red-haired young man with an airplane haircut. To say he was a young man was actually a bit inaccurate. To be more precise, he should be a teenager. Although this boy is tall and dressed like a "social person", the boy's lips are bald. He is obviously a child who has not yet developed.
"Nonsense, it's obviously your bad luck, how can you blame me." Sakuragi Hanamichi scratched his hair, looking unconcerned.
"What, you guy still doesn't admit it." Okusuo Futzu became angry when he saw Sakuragi Hanamichi looking indifferent. Just as he was about to continue arguing with Sakuragi Hanamichi, Mito Yohei walked over. Beside him, he patted Okusu Yuuji's shoulders with both hands and said comfortingly:
"Okay, okay, once you lose, you lose. It's not the first time."
"I didn't expect that it was already dawn, and I didn't feel tired at all after playing for so long."
"Hanamichi, what should we do next?"
Mito Yohei comforted Okusu Yuuji, and looked up at the sky. It seemed that because he had just come out of the room, Mito Yohei was a little uncomfortable with the outdoor light. He subconsciously covered his eyes with his palms, blocking some of the light, and then Mito Yohei Hu looked at Sakuragi and asked with a smile.
When Mito Yohei was talking, the other three people also looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi, seeming to be waiting for Sakuragi to make a decision.
"Uh...huh?"
"What are you doing?! Of course I'm going home. I didn't go back last night. Dad will definitely scold me when I get home."
"You guys, when the time comes, I will go to your home to study. You guys don't need to be in trouble!"
When Sakuragi Hanamichi heard Yohei's question, he glanced at the other party in confusion, and then said to several people.
"What?! No, no, this is too stupid. You will definitely be exposed if you say this." Takamiya waved his hands repeatedly after hearing Sakuragi Hanamichi's words, and his head shook like a pdd whose mouth was burned by cigarettes.
"Huh?!" Sakuragi Hanamichi heard the word "stupid" in Gao Gongwang's mouth, and said softly, "Huh", a pair of eyebrows instantly stood up, and a pair of iron fists were already clenched.
"Yeah! Yeah! That's stupid."
"How could uncle believe that you are studying in our house? You can't recognize yourself."
Noma Chuichiro closed his eyes and looked sleepy. He didn't realize that Sakuragi Hanamichi was already angry. He waved his hand and said casually. But after he finished speaking, no one among his companions spoke to him. Noma Chuichiro opened his eyes strangely, and suddenly found that Mito Yohei and Ohkusu Yuuji beside him had already retreated far away.
Takamiya Nozomi was pinched by Sakuragi Hanamichi's neck with both hands, "ho...ho" with a painful look on his face, and Sakuragi Hanamichi's eyes also stared at him.
"winter!"
After a muffled sound, Takamiya received a solid headbutt from Sakuragi Hanamichi, and slowly collapsed to the ground, finally freeing himself from Hanamichi's control. Chuichiro Noma realized something was wrong and was just about to run, but he was still a step too late and was directly caught by Sakuragi Hanamichi. After taking a headbutt, he followed in Takamiya's footsteps.
After hammering twice in a row, Hanamichi finally felt comfortable and hummed a cheerful ditty.
"Yohei... why didn't you remind me." Noma Chuichiro slowly got up from the ground. At this time, Mito Yohei had just come to him, and Noma Chuichiro grabbed his sleeve.
"Pfft~haha, what's the use of reminding me?" Yohei looked at Noma Chuichiro whose forehead was already swollen, and couldn't help but laugh. Without any trace of guilt or worry, he followed Sakuragi. Behind him, Okusu Yuji came to Takamiya and Noma, snickering while helping the two of them up.
"Let's go, Hanamichi, go have a bowl of ramen and then go back."
Yohei came to Sakuragi Hanamichi and said with a smile. After Mito Yohei said this, Sakuragi Hanamichi couldn't help but rub his stomach. Not to mention, he was really hungry after playing all night.
"Yeah, let's go." Sakuragi Hanamichi agreed without hesitation. He never thought that he had just lost all his money at the pachinko parlor and now he was penniless.
"Hey, let's go eat ramen. Let's go."
Yohei received Hanamichi's affirmative reply and turned to wave to Takamiya and others. As soon as they heard that they had food to eat, Takamiya and others immediately forgot about the headbutt of Hanamichi. They hurriedly dusted themselves off and ran towards Hanamichi and Yohei.
However, before running a few steps, a huge figure suddenly ran out of a side path and bumped directly into the three people.
Huge power instantly poured into Takamiya and the others. Takamiya Nozomi, who weighed nearly 200 kilograms, Noma Noma and Ohkusu Yuji could not withstand the impact and fell to the ground with a muffled sound. .
"Hey! Takamiya, Noma, and Kusu!" This sudden scene shocked both Yohei and Hanamichi, and they ran over quickly.
vertex
Jinguji Budo also stared blankly at the three people he knocked over in front of him. He did not expect that three people suddenly jumped out of the blind spot on the deserted street. Even he was unable to dodge and bumped directly into them. On several people.
Coincidentally, these three people are acquainted with each other in martial arts!
"Hey, are you guys okay?!" Mito Yohei hurried forward, came to Takamiya and others, and helped them up, his face full of concern. Seeing that there were no obvious injuries on the bodies of the few people, and they were all able to stand up smoothly, they couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and then turned to look at Jinguji Martial Arts who had hit the person.
"So tall!"
"Besides, this guy..."
Mito Yohei was shocked when he saw Jinguji Martial Arts and looked up and down. The tall man in front of him immediately attracted Mito's attention. He couldn't help it, the height of Jinguji Martial Arts was too outstanding. And what worried Mito the most was that after such a violent collision, Jinguji Budo stood there as if nothing happened.
You know, Takamiya and the others weigh nearly 400 kilograms together. Although Da Kusu and Noma were brought down by Takamiya Nozomi, they were able to knock off a strong man like Takamiya who weighed nearly 200 kilograms, and also brought down two more. Man, such power is quite terrifying.
But Jinguji martial arts didn't seem to be affected at all, which made Yohei realize that the other party was not an ordinary person.
Although Yohei thought a lot, Da Kusu would not think about such nonsense. After getting up, he rushed directly in front of Jinguji Budo, grabbed Budo's collar, and wanted to scold him.
But his hand hadn't caught Jinguji Martial Arts yet. Martial Arts stretched out his hand to block Da Nan's hands, and then grabbed Da Nan's wrists with his backhand, and said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, you weren't hurt, I didn't mean to do it."
Da Kuan was greatly surprised when Jinguji Budo grabbed his wrist. His surprise was not because Budo was apologizing, but because he tried to grab Budo's collar, but he was blocked by the opponent's careless block, and even got a backhand. catch.
Da Nan could clearly feel that Wu Dao's hands were like iron hoops, tightly grasping the wrists of his two hands. The huge force was simply not something he could resist.
"Hey, Danan, stop it."
"Hello, I'm sorry. My friend was a little impulsive. I'll apologize for him."
"Can you let him go?"
Mito Yohei spoke up when he saw Okusu take action, but he didn't have time to stop Okusu, but the next second, the tall young man in front of him counterattacked Okusu, which Mito Yohei didn't expect.
Mito was afraid that Da Kuan would suffer a loss, so he hurriedly said.
"Haha, I should be the one apologizing. I bumped into some of them."
"Is everything okay?"
Wu Dao let go of Da Nan and smiled gently. With a flick of his wrist, Da Kuan stepped back, looking at Budo with wary expressions. Takamiya and Noma also looked at Mu Dao with unkind expressions, vaguely surrounding Da Kuan. Seeing the hostile look of his companions, Mito silently took a step forward, stopped beside a few people, and stared at the martial arts.
Seeing the appearance of these people, Wu Dao couldn't help but smile. Then he stopped looking at them and turned his eyes to other places.
There, there was a young man who was looking at Jinguji Martial Arts with a look of surprise on his face.
Sakuragi Hanamichi has never forgotten the face of Jinguji Martial Arts. Although Sakuragi Hanamichi is a heartless person, he still remembers those who helped him very clearly.
What's more, martial arts can be regarded as his father's savior.
"You...it's you!"
"Brother Qingtian Ryuyan!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi pointed at Jinguji Budou's face and shouted in surprise. However, his title made Jinguji Budo tilt his head.
Qingtian Tatsuhiko? What the hell? ! I have a half-cent relationship with Qingtian Tatsuhiko? ! And if you call me brother, just call me brother. What the hell is little brother? Why am I still waiting to say a few pornographic words to suit my identity? !
"I went back to find you after my father was out of danger that day, but you were already gone by that time."
"After that, I asked Yohei to help me inquire about it. I found out that your name is Aota Tatsuhiko, little brother, and you are okay even if you are surrounded by so many people. It's great!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi was sincere and said with a happy face. Sakuragi Hanamichi was really happy to see Jinguji Martial Arts again.
Hearing what Hanamichi said, Budao remembered why this guy called himself Aota Tatsuhiko. The name he left at that time was Aota Tatsuhiko. Wu Dao still remembers that that guy Qingtian was even late for the judo competition that year. Later, he heard that it was blocked by bad actors and delayed. Now that he thinks about it, the source is still with him!
"My name is not Aota Tatsuhiko."
"In order not to cause trouble for myself, the name I left is not my own."
"My name is Jinguji Budo, and I am a freshman at Shohoku High School."
"I know you, red-haired...Sakuragi Hanamichi."
Jinguji Martial Arts said with a smile, in front of Sakuragi Hanamichi, Mito and others, Martial Arts no longer need to wear vests in a mess.
"Kami...Jinguji Martial Arts?" Sakuragi Hanamichi was stunned for a moment when he heard the name. He vaguely seemed to have heard this name from his classmates, but where he heard it from, he had somewhat forgotten it.
Mito Yohei and others saw that Hanamichi seemed to know Budo, and there was no longer the tense atmosphere before. Instead, they gathered around Sakuragi Hanamichi and looked at Sakuragi and Budo curiously.
Yohei looked at Budo curiously. From the conversation between Budo and Sakuragi, he roughly knew the identity of Budo. He knew about the big crisis in Sakuragi Hanadao family back then. He even knew about the moment when Sakuragi's father was hospitalized. He also helped take care of Sakuragi for a while.
"Yes, Jinguji Martial Arts."
"Boys, it's our first time meeting you. Hello!"
As he spoke, Budo turned to look at Mito Yohei and others, and greeted him with a smile. A gentle smile appeared on his face, and the sun shone on Budo's body.
Although it was their first meeting, Yangping and others suddenly felt that martial arts was quite friendly, as if they had known each other for a long time. Such a feeling had never been felt by Yangping and others.
