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.
Jinguji Martial Arts spoke softly, and the look in their eyes showed no other taste. Yang Ping and others have rarely seen such eyes from others. As a famous five-person group in Wako Middle School, their reputation in the school is quite average. Most of the students know Yohei and the others because of their fights.
A group of middle school students who are supposed to be studying well in school, with jet-cut haircuts and going to pachinko parlors. No matter how you look at them, they are not the kind of crowd that people like.
When the fearful and contemptuous eyes appear in the eyes of any passerby who sees them, Yangping will not be surprised in any way. On the contrary, it is really rare for them to have this kind of attitude from Jinguji Martial Arts. In the future, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Oda Ryumasa will not deal with each other, and it is not entirely because of Ye Zi.
And the reason why Akagi Haruko was able to hang out with the Sakuragi Legion was not entirely because Sakuragi Hanamichi liked Haruko. Among girls, only a natural idiot like Haruko would have no prejudice against Yohei and others.
"Senior Jinguji, it's our first time meeting you. I'm sorry for what happened just now."
"My name is Okusu Yuuji, you can just call me Okusu."
Okusu Yuji suddenly became happy when he saw Budo's gentle attitude. The incident of Budo knocking them down was suddenly forgotten behind his mind. He hurriedly came to Budao and shook hands with Budo, looking like a dog-legger.
"Senior Jinguji, my name is Mito Yohei. I am a good friend of Hanamichi. I heard Hanamichi mention you."
"Hanamichi often mentions you, and your kindness to Hanamichi will always be in his heart."
When Mito Yohei said "favor", the name of Jinguji Martial Arts changed, which gave people a very polite feeling. If Budo wasn't familiar with these guys, it would be hard to imagine that a delinquent like Yohei would say such polite words. You know, Mito Yohei is someone who dares to fight with senior students and dare to rebuke the teacher.
Takamiya Nozomi and Noma Chuichiro also came to Budao to say hello and introduce themselves. They learned that Jinguji Budo was the man who had saved Sakuragi Hanamichi's father, and their attitude towards Budo changed 180°.
The previous hostility had long since dissipated, and Takamiya even suggested that Budo go eat noodles together, saying things like "repay the favor."
Budao was somewhat happy to meet Sakuragi Hanamichi and the others, and after getting up so early and running so much, Takamiya said that, and he was indeed a little hungry. Faced with Takamiya and the others' invitation, Budao readily agreed. Got off.
...
Not far from the pachinko shop, there is a ramen shop open.
Because it was Saturday and the time was relatively early, there were not many customers in the entire store.
The manager of the ramen shop is a middle-aged man in his forties. He seems to be an old acquaintance with Sakuragi Hanamichi and others. Hanamichi and the others greeted him warmly when they came in.
"Sakura, come and eat some noodles!"
"What do you want to eat today?"
The store manager wore a starched white apron and stood behind the dough, kneading the dough with both hands. While greeting everyone, his eyes kept looking at Wu Dao's body. This was not the first time he had met the five Sakuragi children. There was suddenly an extra person in this small group. How could he not notice it.
"Uncle, I want tonkotsu ramen! I want more noodles~" Sakuragi Hanamichi shouted directly without even looking at the menu. At the same time, he walked to the store with a familiarity, found a seat and sat down, and said hello. Martial arts.
"Brother... No, brother, what are you eating?!"
"Let me tell you, my uncle's tonkotsu ramen is their signature dish and it tastes very good."
Sakuragi Hanamichi shouted, with a smile on his face.
"Really? Then I'll make tonkotsu ramen too." Budo nodded, smiled and said to the boss, then went to the seat on Hanamichi's side and sat down opposite Hanamichi.
Takamiya, Noma, and Okusu all ordered their favorite foods, and then crowded together with Sakuragi Hanamichi. They didn't know how there were four people sitting on the horizontal chair that was originally a three-seater.
"Jinguji-senpai, drinks." When Mito Yohei came over, he had several bottles of drinks in his hand and placed one on everyone's table. Then he looked at the seats and sat down next to Budo with a smile. down.
"Senior, I heard that when you saved Sakuragi Hanamichi's father, you defeated 7.8 opponents by yourself?!"
"Is it true?! You were still a junior high school student at that time, right?! Aren't there so many high school students on the other side a match for you?!"
"Were you seriously injured at the time? Was there a hospital?!"
While everyone was sitting down and waiting for the ramen, Da Kusu, Takamiya, and Noma couldn't help their curiosity. They put their hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and asked Martial Arts one by one. The three of them had a tacit understanding when asking 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!"
"Hey, back then, those guys were quite arrogant. I just soiled their school uniforms, and they actually asked me to pay compensation."
"Then how can I bear it~"
"As for what you said about saving Hanamichi's father, that's just a coincidence. Don't take it to heart. Hanamichi's father was probably saved by Hanamichi."
"There were quite a lot of people who besieged me back then..."
Jinguji Budo couldn't help but talk more when he was with Sakuragi Hanamichi and others, and began to brag to each other. He talked about how he easily knocked 7.8 opponents to the ground. However, only Martial Arts himself knew that if it weren't for the golden bell cover and iron cloth shirt, which could withstand beatings and trade punches for punches, he would have been determined not to be able to defeat so many people at that time.
Martial Arts boasted to each other about his deeds in the past, which aroused the three of Okusan to marvel. Even Sakuragi Hanamichi looked at Jinguji Martial Arts in a daze. Sakuragi Hanamichi went to the hospital with his father at that time and had no idea about the battle situation. At this time, when he heard what Budo said, he was actually fascinated and a little admired.
Young boys at this age have a natural obsession with "martial arts masters" such as martial arts.
On the contrary, Mito Yohei held his chin with one hand when Budo was telling about his achievements that year, and looked at Budo with a smile, unlike Hanamichi and others who were shocked.
"Brother, how did you become so strong?"
"Can we become as strong as you?!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi was fascinated by the fighting power of martial arts. He stared at martial arts and asked sincerely.
"Haha, of course it's because I train... I'm an athlete!"
Jinguji Budo narrowed his eyes, looked at Sakuragi Hanamichi's fascinated look, and said with a smile.
"Sport! Move! Be strong! General!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi's eyes were about to have little stars, and when he suddenly heard the word athlete, his whole body became extremely excited.
"Your ramen is here!"
At this time, the owner of the ramen shop came to everyone with a tray, and then placed three bowls of tonkotsu ramen in front of Jinguji Budou, Mito Yohei and Sakuragi Hanamichi. .
When the boss looked at Wu Dao, he suddenly said: "You...I seem to remember who you are."
"You are the first-year ace of that Shohoku High School basketball team! Jinguji Martial Arts!"
The boss looked at Jinguji Martial Arts and said with surprise.
"Huh? You know me?"
Wu Dao glanced at the boss in surprise and asked strangely. When Sakuragi Hanamichi and others heard the word "ace", they all looked at the boss.
Even Yohei looked at the boss with a surprised look. After hearing so much about martial arts, he always thought that martial arts was just bragging, but he didn't expect that "athlete" was actually real?
"Haha, don't look at me like this, I am also a basketball enthusiast."
"I watched your match between Xiangbei and Xiangyang. I was far away at the time, so I didn't see your appearance clearly, but I still had an impression of your figure."
"I was a little unsure when I heard Yohei call you Jinguji-senpai, but now I'm sure."
"I didn't expect you to be with Hanamichi and the others, and come to my shop to eat noodles."
The boss was a little emotional when he spoke, and his eyes were soft when he looked at Hanamichi and others.
"You guys wait a moment, I'll get you some side dishes." Before Wu Dao and the others could say thank you, the boss left the guest table and walked towards the kitchen.
After the boss left, Sakuragi Hanamichi and other talents turned to martial arts. At this time, Sakuragi Hanamichi became more interested in "athletes". Although he was simple-minded, Sakuragi could still tell that the boss added side dishes to them because of Jinguji martial arts.
Moreover, Sakuragi Hanamichi could tell that Budo seemed to be considered a "celebrity".
Suddenly, Sakuragi Hanamichi's expression became serious, he stopped eating noodles, suddenly stood up from his seat, and said seriously to Jinguji Budo: "Brother, I also want to become an athlete! "
"how should I do?!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi was quite serious, and his tone of voice was quite firm. Seeing Hanadao like this, Budao laughed happily, but the smile didn't stay for long and quickly disappeared.
Should the current Sakuragi Hanamichi be exposed to basketball? He himself is already a high school student, and Sakuragi Hanamichi is a junior high school student. The two of them probably have very little time to see each other. Martial arts practitioners have to practice in the gym after school. Is it possible for a beginner like Hanamichi Sakuragi to practice with them in Shohoku?
Even if he could practice, who would teach Sakuragi the basics? Without the presence of Haruko Akagi, Sakuragi would only be hot for three minutes. Without supervision, would it be possible for Sakuragi to insist on training on his own during normal times?
Obviously, impossible. The Wako Middle School basketball team will not want Sakuragi. Sakuragi Hanamichi, who is in the third grade of junior high school and has zero foundation, cannot be trained by junior high schools because he is not ready to fight and has no training value.
Budo decided not to interfere with the matter of guiding Sakuragi Hanamichi to play basketball. If he could time travel a few years earlier, Budo would really have taken the initiative to change Hanamichi's trajectory, but for now, forget it.
One day Sakuragi Hanamichi will meet a destined girl, and that girl will lead Sakuragi Hanamichi into the world of basketball. With Sakuragi Hanamichi's talent, he can grow rapidly even if he starts practicing basketball in the first year of high school. Not to mention becoming a superstar like Duncan, there is no problem in finding his own basketball path.
Although Budo decided to leave the task of guiding Hanadao to play basketball to Akagi Haruko, it does not mean that Hanadao at this stage cannot be cultivated. Basketball is, after all, a sport, and any sport requires the body.
Sakuragi Hanamichi does not play ball, but physical exercise is possible. Suitable for his age, medium and low-intensity exercise can develop Hanamichi's physical potential to the greatest extent.
Without any physical training, he was able to knock his head against the backboard when he first entered the school in the first year of high school. If he can add a little training, Sakuragi's jumping, strength, and endurance can reach a terrifying level. Martial arts have some expectations.
"Athlete!"
"Becoming an athlete requires hard training. Can you persevere?"
All kinds of thoughts were just a matter of a moment. Looking at Hanadao's serious expression, Budao picked up Kuaizi, took a bite of noodles, and said casually.
"Of course! No matter what kind of hard workout it is, I can do it!"
"I'm a genius!"
Sakuragi Hanamichi nodded, then sat back in his seat and responded.
"That's it, let's eat first and then chat after eating." Budao said with a smile. While the two of them were chatting, Yohei, Takamiya and others had already started eating. Regarding Hanamichi's words about becoming an athlete, these bad friends didn't take it seriously.
They know Hanamichi's character very well, and there is a high probability that he will be popular for three minutes.
After a while, the store manager brought two plates of beef to everyone. Hanamichi and Yohei thanked them profusely, and then quickly swept away the meat. After finishing the noodles, Sakuragi Hanamichi rubbed his stomach and walked out of the store without any intention of paying.
The people in Takamiya dug their pockets and emptied their trouser pockets but could not find even a single coin. After looking at each other, they looked at Mito Yohei.
Mito Yohei's face darkened, and then he sighed helplessly. Just as he was about to pay, he saw Budo take out a large note and give it to the boss.
"Let me invite you. Who makes me the senior?"
Budo smiled at Yangping and waited for the boss to give him change. After getting the money, he and Yangping and others left the noodle shop.
Staying up all night is very harmful to the health of young people in their thirties and above, but for teenagers such as Sakuragi Hanamichi and Mito Yohei, it is a small problem.
After eating a bowl of noodles, these young men who had just stayed up all night looked energetic again. From the faces of Sakuragi Hanamichi and Yohei, Budo couldn't even see any tired expression.
As soon as Sakuragi Hanamichi left the noodle shop, he pestered Budao and asked him to teach him how to become an athlete.
"Hanamichi, although you are in good spirits, staying up all night is still very harmful to people."
"The prerequisite for becoming an athlete is to have a good body."
"It's better not to do things like staying up all night in the future, and you are not suitable for training today."
"Do you know Flagbian Park? If you want to become an athlete, come find me there at this time tomorrow."
"Oh, by the way, Hanamichi."
"Don't wait until it's late!"
After Jinguji Martial Arts finished speaking, he slowly said goodbye to Hanamichi and others and left.
As for why there is a time limit for Sakuragi Hanamichi?
The truth is very simple, this is just a simple little test.
If Sakuragi Hanamichi can't even keep time, it means Sakuragi Hanamichi is not very enthusiastic at this stage. Even if he really teaches martial arts, he will not practice it. Instead of wasting their time, it is better to start from the beginning. If you don't teach, wait until you really want to learn ikebana, and then it will be too late.
This is like teaching a child 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 have no interest in this area, it means you really have no talent in this area.
Interest is actually part of talent.
