"Wei Yong" You are the Hua of Twilight Ice

Yuuri felt very sensitively what was different about Victor in this short program.

The next step is a set of sequential steps. In fact, Victor’s sequential steps can get level [-] every time, but his jumping and spinning are too dazzling, and the skating aspect is ignored by ice fans.Otherwise, how could he become the "King on Ice" who won five consecutive Grand Prix finals?

The melody of the flute fluttered exceptionally clearly. Victor’s joint spin was a set of swallow spins followed by squat spins and then squat spins, and then he changed from knife-tooth steps to Choctaw steps, and then entered Axel for three weeks. Jump.

Yuuri stared at every jump and spin of Victor, and Victor suppressed all the jumps in the second half. This is the obsession of mortals pursuing the gods, and it is the pursuit of mortals who are humble and never give up.

Hook quadruple jump plus back outside ice triple axel, Victor entered the back inside quadruple jump with a big word followed by a reverse outside hook step in the ascending scale of the violin.

Why is the tune so warm all of a sudden?That's because a mortal has nothing to fear, he has given up everything, he has given up everything, maybe even his life is about to be given up, so he doesn't care about other things.After sliding out of the swallow pose with the knife raised, it is a squat turn with the legs hugged, and then changed into a squat turn with the legs retracted. Then Victor rotates in the swallow pose facing the side and lifts the knife.

The sound of the French horn and the violin compete with each other, but a mortal is a mortal after all.What Victor arranges here is a 4T+3T joint jump, and then the butterfly turn and then the phantom turn, it seems to be a dreamlike emptiness, the music is soft, but no one sees or knows all the elegiac songs in the dark.

The mortals finally turned into smoke and dust here, and the last one jumped around. Victor fell quietly to the ice, and everything disappeared at this moment, leaving only the fire, burning with the remaining traces of life.He ended the performance half-kneeling and lying on the ice. This is the epic of mortals following the gods, and this is [Flamebeforemidnight].

After the performance, Viktor slid towards the exit of the ice rink, only to recover from the shock of his students' unbelievable progress, Yakov eased his face and handed over the skate set.

After walking to the K&C area, Victor made a heart gesture to the camera and added a wink, but Yakov always felt that he seemed to be worried, and he was not that happy.At this moment, the words "Victor Nikiforov" appeared on the big screen, but it seemed that the announcer was still in a daze. It took three to five seconds to realize it, and he started broadcasting in surprise.

"Finally, let's take a look at the score of Viktor Nikiforov's short program - 118.93 points! The short program ranked first without a doubt, and took back the ownership of the record for the highest score in the short program!" The announcer seemed a little too excited, and his voice broke.

It wasn't just him. After hearing Victor's score, reporters from Russian Public Television and ITAR also pointed their guns at the silver-haired man walking towards the lounge.But Victor didn't give them a chance to interview.

He is waiting for the free skating competition the day after tomorrow.

In the final of the Grand Prix, there was still a day of public practice between the short program and the free skating. Naturally, Victor could not go to the ice rink during the day when there were many people. It's my own instinct, but that feeling is still not very comfortable.And if such discomfort is seen by people who know themselves well, it will not be a wonderful thing.

The weather in Vancouver was still warm and rainy, and Victor sat on the promenade in Stanley Park.To be honest, for a species like them, the feeling is not the same.When the raindrops fall on the face and arms, they no longer feel cold, but have a warm touch.It stands to reason that they don't even need to cover the rain. With their own strength, they won't get wet by the rain at all.

But Victor is still sitting in the corridor, and he's inclined to admit to being a little more human anyway.Perhaps, this kind of rain can really calm down the heart, what Victor thinks at this time is how to deal with the feelings in [TheMaskWillInFire].

Because he could clearly feel that there was something he hadn't released yet.It was a feeling that was clear but inexplicable.After interpreting and understanding the image of the mask as much as possible, it seems that there is still something unfinished and cannot be expressed.Others don't know, and think [TheMaskWillInFire] is already perfect, but Victor doesn't have that kind of completely smooth feeling, even after practicing for two seasons, this feeling has not completely disappeared.

It was as if there was always something between them, and Victor didn't think about it until the game started.While this doesn't affect his game, for Victor, such a show is incomplete.

Before leaving the hotel room, Victor adjusted his emotions and temporarily forgot the little bit of inconsistency caused by the emotional incompleteness of the show.Even so, he'll get the gold medal, Viktor told himself before getting into shape.Not so much for the promise to Coach Yakov, but more because he wants to be followed by Yuuri's eyes all the time, even as someone he hopes to surpass.

It is said that media workers are the eyes and ears and the mouthpiece, and now this point is vividly reflected. As soon as Victor appeared on the ice rink, the camera directly pointed at him.

"Well, I saw that Victor arrived very early today! But speaking of it, I have heard from Coach Yakov that Victor has a lot of things to do this season." The commentator suddenly remembered that Yakov said helplessly. The rhetoric given by the outside world.

Obviously, others have believed this statement, and another commentator also picked up the conversation, "It is said that Victor did not show up during the public practice time before every game this season. The emperor' already knows it well, and let us look forward to it, and look forward to the return of Victor Nikiforov's king tonight!"

The camera followed Victor and captured his back.The man at the center of the topic is already in a certain mood, in other words, he has completely entered the feeling required by the program.

Yakov was very surprised when he discovered this for the first time, because Yakov knew that because of some things that his student experienced when he was a teenager, he was asked to act out a certain emotion, and he could act like True, it can also be used to infect countless audiences; but he cannot have these emotions from his heart, or he has abandoned them for many years.It can be said that he can play anyone well in the show, but almost none of them have his own shadow.

So you can imagine how Yakov felt when he first discovered that Viktor was immersed in a certain emotion. He didn’t know what happened to make such a change in Viktor. On the one hand, he was gratified, There are also vague concerns.Therefore, Yakov's temper was a little better in those few days, and his growling was a little less.

By now, Yakov is quite familiar with Viktor's state, and when he took Yuuri and Yuri into the room, he happened to hear these words from the announcer.Yakov still walked ahead with a blank expression, but Yuri, who was following behind him, turned his head and glanced at the black-haired young man beside him.

Of course Yuuri heard it too, he lowered his head and twisted his fingers.

At this time, as a fan of Victor and Yuuri who will always love him even if they are separated, of course he hopes that Victor can win the championship. Maybe this can also show that Victor is not dragged down by himself!Only in this way can we tell others that Victor is still that outstanding and dazzling man.

But on the other hand, as a player, he was motivated to fight because his first competition with Victor was about to be completed.For nearly two years, he also wanted to prove to others, and use his own progress to prove that Victor's time as his coach was not wasted in vain.This is something Yuuri has thought about many times, and it is also the mental motivation that has supported him to complete so many high-intensity training in the past six months.

He suddenly doesn't want to ask Victor directly, Yuuri thinks so.If there was something to say, Victor would have said it a long time ago. If you ask now, no matter what the result is, it may affect Victor's arrangement, right?Yuuri still couldn't help thinking about Victor. In his opinion, it was already too much to make up his mind to test it.

So Yuuri crossed the option of asking Victor after the game "why has this been so weird for a while" from his mind.

Yuri looked at Viktor, who was about to disappear in front of him, and at Yuuri who suddenly became firm beside him, and with a "tsk", he strode closely behind Coach Yakov and walked to the front.

When entering the lounge, Yuuri didn't see Victor there, but he did see his best friend Phichit.

Phichit has already changed into his [Ramajan Chant] costume and got up from the carpet. "Yuuri, I'm going to warm up! Wait for me after the game!" After speaking, he winked at Celestino and ran away.

"Well, Phichit, come on!" Yuuri turned his head to look at Phichit's attire, and when he turned back, Yakov had already disappeared.Yuuri looked at Yuri in surprise.The teenager who had already started to transform from a boy to a man looked dissatisfied, "Oh, Yakov is going out for a while, let's start the activities first!" After saying this, he whispered even more dissatisfied, "Damn tall, anyway, this Second, I will run with you..."

It seems that the belated development period of Europeans has brought a lot of trouble. Yuri is different from Victor's gradual growth. He belongs to the kind that grows rapidly in one season.The problem brought about by this long method is that you can't adapt well to your sudden change of center of gravity.This point has been mentioned before, and the solution is to temporarily reduce the difficulty of oneself, so as to pass this period of time smoothly.However, even so, it still made the little tiger from Siberia very irritable.

But of course it is impossible for Yuri not to participate in this season's competition for this reason.He is a "tiger on ice" who keeps going forward, so he won't be like that irresponsible old man who would blank out a season for a while and disappear for a while!

Although the empty year brought back a "trophy" that was not bad... probably being obedient and obedient is not bad!

Yuri pursed his lips in thought.

Oh, that's right, Yuri was talking about the black-haired young man next to him whose name he pronounced the same as his.Although the most precocious European, Yuri has been sparing no effort to complain about Yuuri's maturity that does not match his age, but hasn't he admitted that Yuuri, the so-called "Victor's trophy", is still good?

It's just that Yuri didn't notice the change in himself.

And Yuuri didn't pay attention to what Yuri muttered afterwards, after he heard that Yakov had something to go out, he carried the bag to the side by himself.According to the ranking of the short program the day before yesterday, although Yuri has lowered the difficulty, he is still ahead of him. Although the difference is only less than two points, today's free skating and the advantages of physical strength must be exerted even harder!Tonight, he had to prove himself.

That's what Yuuri thought.

Thinking of this, the uneasiness caused by not being able to see Victor gradually faded away.To put it bluntly, it wasn't actually uneasiness, it was a kind of mentality that even though I loved him, when I thought of him leaving alone, there was still a kind of estrangement that couldn't be eliminated.This kind of mentality will pop up when Victor can't be seen.

But now Yuuri's mind is only about the game, only [Claudio Fantasia], he changed his performance clothes, put on his coat again, and hit Celestino who has always cared about him He said hello, and went to the side wall to press his shoulders.

He didn't know that Victor was less than half a meter away from him at this time, and on the other side of the wall, the man's long silver hair and the snow on the ground together inexplicably made the eye sockets sour.He listened to all the voices in the arena, remembering that the day in Hasezu last year was also a snowy day, he didn't know why he suddenly missed Makachin and Yuuri.Although he knew that Yuuri was so close to him, so close at hand.

Victor heard that the introduction of players had already begun in the arena.

According to the usual practice, in the finals of the Grand Prix, especially before the last contestant enters the competition, the commentator will introduce each contestant according to the ranking.

"Tonight, we will witness the final showdown of the men's figure skating in the world. Who will be the number one in the world?!" The narrator has already begun to create an atmosphere for the subsequent competition.

"A well-deserved living legend at the top of the short program - the hero of Russia, the king of ice Viktor Nikiforov!"

Because of the sharp five senses after the transformation, Victor heard the introduction of himself on the rink when he moved his shoulder and elbow joints under the street lights outside the ice rink and in the rare snow in Vancouver.

He smiled and shook his head, not caring, because this is not his ultimate pursuit, it can only be regarded as a way to the same goal.

"Yuri Prisetti, who is also from Russia, is ranked second," the narrator read these contents in standard English, "The third is Japan's late blooming star, Katsuki Yuuri, can he be the same as the first? The two are very close and successfully counterattacked?"

Hearing this, the smile on Victor's face expanded a bit, Yuuri, you have to work hard, I'm still waiting for you ahead!

In fourth place is Chris, while fifth and sixth are Phichit and Otabek respectively, both of whom are finalists of the Grand Prix for the second time.

After introducing the players, the screen turned to Brian Joubert, who was invited to be the commentator.

"Hi everyone, I'm Brian Joubert, and I'm broadcasting the final free skating for you in Vancouver." Joubert is a senior figure skater from France, the runner-up of the Calgary World Championships, the champion of the Tokyo World Championships, and the general manager of the St. He is also very suitable as a special commentator for the gold medal in the final. "Mr. Moroka, how are you preparing for the competition?" Joubert returned the screen to the infield after a very simple self-introduction.

Hisashi Moroka appeared in the camera. He reported the situation on the court in his usual commentary style, and then started talking with Joubert in the outfield.

"Hey, I don't seem to have seen Victor today." Obviously, Joubert also knew Victor, and he never thought that Victor had actually come here a long time ago.

After a brief chat, the game officially started immediately.

The first player to play was Kazakhstan's Otabek Altin, because Yuri, who had gained a "friendship as a fellow soldier" last season, also cheered his friend with a rare good temper.

As expected, Otabek is still following the strong and tough guy style. In the world of figure skating, which is known for its beauty, this is a unique personal feeling on the one hand, but on the other hand, it will be relatively inferior in terms of technology. Inferior, after all, this is somewhat different from everyone's aesthetic preferences.

Facts show that this is indeed the case. Otabek's free skating score is 180.37 points, which is not a high score.

"The next one is Thailand, Phichit Churanonth, this season he used the famous poetic drama "Ramajan" of his nation as the theme, and wrote a new work - [Ramajan Ode]!" Qie Lei Steno patted Phichit on the back and sent him off to the field.

Not long after Phichit began to perform, Yakov returned to the waiting room. He was going to find Victor, but this time Victor did not meet with his coach because there was an extra day of practice in the middle, allowing Victor The ability to control the blood of the ancestors is not so rare.

He does warm-up exercises alone in the back of the waiting room, recalls the movements in the free skating program, and practices on the flat ground by himself.

Yakov, who didn't know this, had no choice but to frown and forcefully control his expression after searching for nothing.

Phichit is coming to the end of his performance, and he has indeed made a lot of progress this season. In addition to finally adding a quadruple jump this year—the rear inner quadruple jump, he also seems to have improved in skating.In the end, he updated his free skating record with 191.44 points.

Seeing that Phichit started to take selfie maniac mode when he was in the k&c area, Chris, who had just stepped into the rink from outside the ice rink, smiled meaningfully at Heinrich, who was standing beside him holding his coat, And whistled softly.The meaning is obvious: "How about you accompany me to take pictures later?"

The short brown-haired man raised an arc noncommittally, then crossed his arms, watching Chris triumphantly turn around and slide to the ready position.

Chris's free skating still continued the previous style. The track he chose was [Viva LaVida]. Chris will play the music full of sex again.

Obviously, every time I choreographed for him, I never thought about this effect. It seems that this sentence is still healed and the scar is forgotten. I need to go back and "discuss" this issue again. Mr. Schultz thought silently.

And it's not just a matter of consistent style, because of Victor's return this season, this Swiss man who has been surpassed by Victor again and again is bursting with fighting spirit.In other words, at Victor's height, there are very few people who can compete with him. Chris can probably be counted as one, and the future Yuri and Yuri who is in the adjustment period can also be counted.

Therefore, the result of stronger motivation and stimulation is that Chris becomes more lustful on the ice. If Heinrich thought of this, he would definitely want to pull him off the ice rink and wrap him up. Let others see it?

However, these can only be thought about, it is impossible to really pull him down.

After Chris it's Yuuri's game, and he's ready, standing outside the rink with Yakov.In the first few seconds when he realizes that Viktor isn't there, Yuuri's habitually uneasy, but soon he really calms down.After this year of transformation, Yuuri is no longer what he used to be.But at the last stop, he deliberately hid the right hand that took off the ring, because he saw Victor was there; this time he managed to convince himself, but Victor hardly appeared here.This made Yuuri feel a little strange.

But he didn't think about it carefully, and played in the familiar voice of anchor Zhuoka.

Mooroka anchor has always admired Yuuri, who is cute and hardworking. When he introduced Yuuri, his tone was a little warmer than before.

Victor naturally heard this outside, he also heard the screams and applause of the audience in the ice rink, and also heard the voice of Yuuri's [Claudio Fantasia].

After more than 20 days of practice and polishing, this program is obviously more proficient.From the very beginning when the music started, the anchor Zhuoka excitedly praised his footwork.

Yuuri used one foot as the main foot to support his whole body weight, and the other foot touched the ice with the front edge of the ice blade. He bent the arm on the same side, raised his elbow forward, and rested on the other shoulder. One hand clenched a fist on the back side of the body, not fully straightened, but it was full of the young and arrogant appearance of General Claudio.

[Claudio Fantasia] started out as a small cantonese in four and three beats, and now the audience is more familiar with this kind of scherzo style with some irony.Of course, the theme part of the scherzo tends to be faster than the small canto, but it does not reach the speed of the allegro.

The performance costume Yuuri wears is the one that combines cavalry armor and aristocratic dress, half of which represents General Claudio's prejudice and suspicion, and half of which represents the rationality of the viewer's perspective.

He didn't comb all his hair back this season, but retained his original youthful look, with broken hair hanging softly on his forehead, and only part of it was styled diagonally backward.It is also because of this that Yuuri can be said to have made certain breakthroughs in various aspects this time, not just the technical level.

The right arm drives the elbow to swing back, the left hand is lifted up, and the right foot kicks off the ice. Yuuri starts to slide sideways, and then balances in Yan style.There is a kind of toughness with softness and rigidity.This is the triumphant song of the victorious general returning to camp.The readers outside the story slowly disappeared, and now only the protagonist in this story is left, showing his own merits.

The encounter between heroes and beauties is a perfect beginning.

Yuuri switched feet and twirled into a Mohawk, skating to the other side of the rink, followed by a half-turn on the backside, which worked beautifully in step sequence.He held up his right hand, passed his left hand behind his head, turned to the left and took a smooth step change.

The outer hook step is followed by the three-character turn, and an arc is drawn to the right. The flute and violin flutter above the bottom note, setting off the joy of non-stop dancing in the world.

At this point the tempo had changed to twice the original speed, turning the entire Shakespearean initials, and Yuuri started to speed up when Shasaike stepped into the bracket.This is the last part of this series of consecutive steps. This kind of skating is very exciting, and there are applause from the audience.

The entry of 3A is a difficult entry with continuous internal hook steps, and the ice falls are very stable.

Yuuri's timing is perfect, when he lands on the ice, the duet of oboe and horn just drowns out the sound of the strings, the viola and cello and the bass stop the bow, the continuous triplet of plucked strings, dots and cuts points, creating a turning atmosphere.

Yuuri's handling of the quadruple jump on the back-to-side ice and triple-jump on the back-to-side ice is obviously much better than when he was in Philadelphia.In addition to practicing to the extreme during the interval of more than 20 days, he read the book "Much Ado About Nothing" countless times.

Sometimes when he read alone at night, he would remember that he and Victor had developed the habit of reading before, and because of this, he chose the theme of this season.Speaking of which, he himself is a bit like those people in the story, but the way of expression is different!

Yuuri only vaguely felt it one night when he was lying alone on a bed that seemed a bit empty.
