The host is really working hard.

The time has finally come to reveal the answer. Zizhou and Yukimura and the others had already arrived at the stadium, waiting for the results to be announced.

However, Zizhou found that none of the three coaches had any intention of speaking to him. They seemed to be waiting for someone. After a while, the roar of a non-motorized vehicle sounded overhead, and a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard came down from above.

"Coach Mifune!?"

"What!? Why is it this old man?!"

The surprised expressions of Sanada and the others left the other junior high school students who didn't know this person confused. Could he be some important person?

As the successor of the Tetsube Group, Tetsube got to know several coaches in this training camp when he came to this training camp. Among them, Coach Mifune was the most mysterious, or to be more precise, the one who least liked dealing with others.

Coach Mifune looked around the room. As he didn't know how the junior high school students behaved, they were obviously not as unbridled as the high school students. However, everyone respected the man who could make the decision. How could someone without ability be the head coach?

"Now we announce the list of players for the Japanese national team that will be competing in the World Cup." Coach Mifune ignored the commotion inside and read out the list.

"Leader of the First Army, Byodoin Phoenix"

"Taneshima Shuji"

…………

"The junior high school student leader is Yukimura Seiichi."

"Atobe Keigo, Sanada Genichirō, Shiraishi Kuranosuke, Niou Masaharu, Akutsu Jin, Toyama Kintaro, Marui Bunta, Fuji Shusuke, Ishida Gin, Oishi Shuichirō, Kito Nagashirō, Kirihara Akaya, and Saeko Atomatsu."

After reading the list, some were happy and some were unhappy. But Coach Mifune didn't care because he was very angry. He didn't expect that a player he favored would leave after just one day of not noticing. Although he wanted to give this spot to Echizen Ryoma, he couldn't give it to him now that he knew the reason for Echizen's departure.

Echizen Ryoma had already planned to come to the training camp to poach players, but now the situation is no longer what he thought it was. Echizen Ryoma is too unpredictable. Instead of hoping that Echizen will come back, it is better to choose a strong player to participate.

Zizhou was very surprised that his name appeared on that list. He originally thought that his physical condition would be the main concern of the coaches. After all, his physical strength has seriously affected the outcome of the game. If it was before, it would be fine as he could crush his opponents with his mental strength. But now the opponents he faces are elites from various countries. What's more, it is a three-set system now. If he really plays, he can only play doubles. Otherwise, it will easily give opponents an opportunity to take advantage.

Unlike the others' happiness, Zizhou's expression caught Zhongdao's attention.

Zhongdao ignored everyone else and walked straight to Zizhou and asked with concern.

"Is Xiao Zizhou so happy that he can't believe it?"

Zhongdao's slowed down tone made his aura seem very peaceful. He was actually very happy that Xiao Zizhou could go to the U17 World Cup with him.

"No, I just think it would be a bad idea for the coaches to choose me. After all, my physical stats really can't keep up with yours."

Zizhou is now a Japanese, even if he does not want to be a Japanese, but his friends and lover are here. He does not want to hold his friends back when fighting for the country. They have fought for so long and he does not want to give up all their efforts.

Zhongdao finally understood why Zizhou was not so happy, but he understood Zizhou very well. Everyone would worry about affecting others in such a big competition.

"Do you think this way, Xiao Zizhou, because you are not confident in yourself? Xiao Zizhou, you underestimate yourself too much. The head coach chose you because he recognizes your ability. Besides, didn't we agree to participate in the U17 World Cup together?" Zhongdao pretended to be pitiful and looked at Zizhou with puppy eyes.

Zhongdao's comfort made Zizhou feel much better, and he didn't even care about the things he was worried about anymore.

He figured it out. The head coach was not someone who would make decisions without reason. Since he chose him, it was because his strength was enough to make up for the physical problem.

"Thank you, Senior Tanejima. I have figured it out now. I have nothing else to do right now. Everyone should still be training. How about we go train?"

It seemed as if there were stars in Zizhou's eyes, as if the entire sea of ​​stars was in Zizhou's eyes.

Zhongdao, who had coaxed Zizhou, wanted to look at his nose, which made Zizhou laugh secretly several times. People passing by couldn't help but take pictures of Zhongdao's strange way of walking and shared them in the group.

Fortunately, Zizhou didn't want to embarrass Zhongdao and reminded him.

Among those who shared it was Byodoin, and it was sent to him by Yuanye. He also complained to Byodoin harshly about how stupid Taneshima was, and thought that their No. 2 would soon be replaced.

"Humph, now he doesn't train well and still has the mood to go out. It seems that I indulge him too much."

After saying that, he found Mitsuya's phone number and called him.

"Do you have the training sheets that the coaching staff has distributed to everyone during this period?"

Although he asked inquiringly, he knew in his heart that as a data player, Mitsutani had the most complete information except for the coaching staff. Even when the coaching staff issued a training order, Mitsutani would record a copy.

"Yes, sir."

"Then send me a copy of this guy Zhongdao's training sheet. I want to see how free this guy is that he has time for a date right now. Humph!"

Mitsuya prayed silently for Tanedashima in his heart, hoping that Tanedashima could still stand up alive.

At night, everyone gathered downstairs of the dormitory, whether they were selected or not, everyone gathered there to discuss the cruelty of Byodoin and their resentment towards him.

Zizhou, who was called over, did not comment on their words. In fact, judging from the course of the game, Byodoin Phoenix did go a bit too far, but for a leader who can lead the Japanese team to play the game, if the coaching staff really has moral problems, they will be the first to kick Byodoin out of the position of captain.

But judging from the coaching staff's tacit agreement, it can only be proved that this is a part of their joint participation.

Seeing that everyone was feeling that this training camp was inhumane because of the departure of Kirihara and Karachi, Zizhou spoke up.

"Do you think you are so great that you can make demands on the coaching staff!?"

Zizhou's words seemed like a stone dropped into the water, causing ripples.

"Senior Zizhou, why are you still speaking for them?"

Qi Yuan was the first to speak out. He had always believed that Senior Zizhou supported their opinion. Now Senior Zizhou’s words showed that he approved of the coaching staff’s decision.

Seeing Kirihara staring at them with a betrayed look on his face, the others were also very confused about what Zizhou said. Zizhou held his forehead with a headache. Yukimura and Sanada Yanagi also didn't understand Zizhou's idea. In their opinion, it was best for everyone to be neat and tidy.

"Haha, that's really naive. This world can't survive without anyone. If you really think the coaching staff's decision is wrong, then what you have to do is to use your strength to tell them that this is wrong. Otherwise, those who complain and complain here are all fools, self-righteous fools!"

Zizhou's words could be said to be extremely harsh. The teenagers who thought they understood him all looked as if they had seen a ghost. Such sharp words really hurt the fragile hearts of the teenagers.

So when Byodoin and the ghost came in, they saw that everyone looked aggrieved and dared not speak out. Of course, only some people showed it, while people like Yukimura Atobe did not show it, because they vaguely understood what Zizhou meant.

When Toyama saw Byodoin, he didn't care about being sad because of Zizhou's words, and hurried over to ask Byodoin to return it to Echizen, almost hating Byodoin. Others who were on good terms with Echizen also looked like they were ready to fight.

Zizhou was not unhappy when he saw that they did not take his words to heart. In his opinion, no matter how much a person without awareness and cognition said, he would still insist on his own way and believe that what he thought was right in places where you can't see.

Byodoin felt that most people here thought he was wrong. He sneered and while looking around, he found a gaze that did not show any dissatisfaction, and that was Atom Sorazu.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Zizhou was indeed popular. Not only was he strong, but he was also smart! Others didn't think he couldn't see it. Although some people didn't show that they hated him, there was still dissatisfaction in their eyes.

In the end, it was only after Byodoin showed the scars on its back that the anger of the junior high school students was calmed down and they were told how cruel the world is.

At this moment, everyone shut up. They seemed to understand why Byodoin did this. Even so, they still felt that the method was too harsh and they could have just talked it out nicely.

But they are so naive that they don’t know that there are some things that one can only talk about after experiencing them, and there are some things that one can only understand the pain of others after bearing them.
