[Tennis] Mountains and Flowing Water

"The winners of the 28 middle school students, please gather at the main stadium immediately."

Tuozhi is responsible for the systematic basic training of 28 people in the winner group.This was the third coach the junior high school student had seen, along with a series of training forms printed on the banner and posted outside the railing.

"A lot." Kirihara whispered, "It looks quite scientific, Senior Liu will write it down, right?"

[Aw, Senior Liu has already gone back. ]

"Knee hops, squats, leg extensions, 30 reps for each of the four types of abdominal muscles... Is this the training menu for tomorrow?" There are nearly forty items.

"Should be done in one day..."

"Who said it will start tomorrow?" Tuozhi folded his arms, the muscles in his hands were strong, "It's six o'clock in the evening, and you are limited to four hours to finish it, and no objections are allowed."

"Wait a minute!" Kikumaru protested loudly, "You also do training at night?"

"This is only half of the normal amount of training!" Tuozhi raised his volume unhappily, "High school students can complete it in only three hours, and I have added a little time for you, so let's start quickly with gratitude! What It's up to you when you sleep."

Hearing this, Sanada chuckled: "The form is very detailed, but according to our Lihai standard, it will not be a problem within three hours."

Yukimura didn't wear a coat and didn't make a sound.

"If you don't complete it within the specified time, then you don't have to go to sleep! Just disappear from here!"

"above."

On the return bus for the loser group, Nioh and Xu You sat together, Liu and Pingchuan sat together, and Jack sat alone, looking out the window.

"Don't think that you can relax for a while when you go back, Jack."

"I will check your level."

"Ah, I won't let up! I will ask Takeshita-san for advice when the time comes."

"Pfft... haha, I'm talking about barbecue~"

"Eh?"

"Idiot, it's just a seven-ball game. We don't use seven-ball to pick people very much."

That's what I said, but if it is linked to the elimination of the training camp, it will be of great significance.Unable to fight with their ministers like before, I always feel a little suffocated and lost.

[You still have to work hard, Jack. ]

The unwillingness after losing and being eliminated, some are held in the stomach like Jack, and some are really vented.

Xu You was lost in thought facing out the window, King Ren glanced at the angry crowd, turned his head and stretched out his hand to shake Xu You back to his senses, and whispered in his ear: "Shenmu, do you think this elimination is real?"

"I don't know." Xu You shook his head lightly, "Whether it's true or not, I have something to do." After he returned, he just happened to play some cup games.And the club's players are no worse than those in this training camp.

"Guess?"

After a few seconds of silence: "It won't really be eliminated." In the end, only those who have the strength can achieve results, and the training camp will benefit only if there are achievements.

No one will fight against their own interests.

Amidst the murmurs in the car, the bus turned a corner and bumped into a potholed road.

"What's going on!" Xu You panicked and looked around.This is obviously an undeveloped trail, and the woods on both sides are particularly lush.

[This driver has a problem! ] He immediately connected this with the abduction and buying of teenagers.

A group of people surrounded the driver in a cloud of mist and reminded him politely that Xu You's first reaction was to take out his mobile phone.

King Ni twitched his mouth in a funny way: "Hey! Shenmu, what are you doing?"

"Call the police."

"Don't do it." Niwang hurriedly pressed the phone, "We are probably going to another training camp."

"..." He was a little disbelieving.

[It's really inexplicable! ] Xu You has lost some favor for this training camp that has changed its methods and played tricks.

[I really won't come next time. ]

In the end, the driver dropped them off, and Saito waited there with Echizen and Xiaojin.Seeing this, Xu You finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you all gathered?" Saito glanced at the people with a smile. "Now, the winners have started their special menu. If you don't take action, the distance between you and them will be further and further away."

"If you want to shorten the distance with them, you have to work harder." Saito looked back at the undulating mountains in the distance, "Try to keep walking there."

"That's all I have to say."

"Wait!" Kaitang called Saito, "What's there in that direction? Can we 'resurrect' by climbing up? You should tell us?"

Saito smiled without saying a word, and walked away by himself.

Gan stopped Haitang: "Okay, the coach obviously wants us to follow his plan."

"If you want to stay in the training camp and defeat your opponent, that's the only way." Shido raised his fists and greeted Huadi, "Let's go."

"But..." Xiang Ri turned his head to look at the five people in Li Hai who hadn't moved, "Hey, aren't you going?"

"You guys go first." Liu responded gently.

"Puri." King Ni sat on the ground and waited for Xu You's conclusion.

Yukimura is not here, so listen to their sparring.

Xu You took out the hand-painted copy map that Sai Yukimura had given him from his pocket, and sat on the ground to study it.Five people gathered together.

"We should be in this position. The direction the coach pointed is... 26 degrees to the west and north. This mountain is not very high, but the one behind it is much higher, with an altitude of more than 400 meters. The further back is about 300 meters. hills..."

"But I still don't know where the destination is."

"If they really want to 'play games', they will arrange a route for us." Xu You nodded his pen and put away the map. "Abnormal training, we have to be prepared to sleep in the wild. Be careful on the road. Yes, see if there are any wild foods like wild fruits..." By the way, the most important thing is fire!

"Xianichiro's lighter is here." Liu added in a timely manner, "Akaya's snacks are still in the bag..." I planned to dispose of them when I went back.

"I have some too." When he was about to leave, Liu returned the confiscated snacks to Ping Chuan, because he couldn't fit them in his bag.

King Ren also patted his bag, "I got it from Mrs. Wen."

[Is it snatched? ] Jack Blackline: "I have cookies."

Xu You breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's hurry up now, above."

[I don’t know what’s going on with You-kun. ] Yukimura has just finished training, his body is sticky, and he is about to take a bath.

The second floor of the dormitory was still empty. Yukimura was the first to complete the training task. When he came back, no one had started the last task.

"Too slack, Genichiro Sanada." Yukimura imitated his own childish tone in the bath, the air was empty and steamy, the voice echoed again and again, "Pfft, hehe."

"What would Bunta say?" Yukimura thought for a while, "Ah, Yukimura, I still want to take a bath with you~"

"Wentai, you have to work hard to complete the task, be careful Sanada said you are too lax."

"Eh?!" Wronged, "Okay."

[What if Yu-kun is here? ] Two voices sounded again in the empty bathroom: "I want to go to extra training at night, what do you think? Yukimura-kun."

"Ah, you got stimulated this afternoon?"

Serious denial: "Of course not."

"Then let's take a bath together?"

"This...that..." hesitantly imitated ten to ten.

"Okay, let's watch the video together later?"

"Well, I'll go to your place," the gentle voice stopped abruptly, and after a long pause, it was whispered cautiously, "Jingshi..."

……

"Tsk." Splashes splashed on the standing figure, and then she swished into her clothes, and the fresh air from outside the door rushed in, blowing away the mist that filled the bathroom.

The five members of Lihai in the loser group quickly caught up with the main force. After nearly two hours of orienteering, the sky completely darkened.

"We're at the river." Xu You took out his phone and used the camera function to look into the distance. "There's still a long way to go. Let's rest here first."

"But the coach said that the winners' group is conducting special training." Xiang Ri recalled Ninzuzu's side face in his mind, "Shouldn't we hurry up?"

"That's right, so procrastinating, isn't the distance from the winner group getting farther and farther?"

Xu You asked Liu and the others to pack up the fire first, and then faced Xiangri, "First of all, what is the purpose of your coming to the training camp?"

"Purpose?" Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Kai took a step forward: "Of course it is to represent Japan in the World Cup!"

"Then what are you thinking about now?" Xu You put down his bag, "The winner's group and our loser's group are all on your mind. Can we go to avenge our shame and win the winner's group to become the representative of Japan?"

"This..." Xu You's blunt questioning made the teenagers not dare to refute.

"To become a representative of Japan, the most important thing is strength. Do you think that the improvement of strength can be achieved by walking a few more steps at night, staying up late and climbing one more mountain?"

"This is probably okay?" Taocheng sat down on the ground, "otherwise why did the coach ask us to climb the mountain?"

"What the coach said must be right? And have you thought about the risks and negative feedback?" Xu You shook his head, "We are not professional off-roaders, and we don't have any special equipment at all. If we go climbing at night, if we step on the ground, You still have a chance to play tennis? Let alone represent your country."

"I--"

"Also, if you stay up late at night, what will you do during the day tomorrow? Do you still have enough energy to deal with more situations at that time?"

"..." The well-organized advice made everyone lose their previous impatience.

"I am responsible for my own safety and health." Seeing that Liu had already built a bonfire, Xu You carried his bag and sat down beside the fire.

Echizen pressed his hat: "Then what should we do now?" Everyone gradually accepted and listened to Xu You's arrangement.

"A group of five or six people, at least two people, first go to the nearby area to collect hay and fine firewood; the remaining one or two people will come out around a bonfire like we did. Then they will eat, drink and rest separately." Xu You said, while going into the fire throw firewood.

About a quarter of an hour later, three fires were lit by the river.

Qingxue formed a group of six, and Dashi took the responsibility at this time. He took out all three bags of biscuits in his bag and piled them on the ground: "Everyone, take out the food and water, and consolidate the points."

"Does soda count?"

Dashi baffled Zhichun for his elementary school brother: "Should, forget it?"

"Is chocolate okay?" Haitang handed over two.

"Yes, but eat less. We can't brush our teeth now..."

"Tian Renzhi! You eat too much!"

"That's right, you've eaten them all, what shall we eat?"

In desperation, Higazhong and Fudu Xizhong came to Xu You for help.

Xu You held the book "Survival in the Wild" and was guarding the iron pot to boil water. Next to him, Liu was appraising wild fruits and vegetables, Jack and Pingchuan were eating snacks to satisfy their hunger temporarily, and Nio was busy tinkering with his bag.

"Eat?" Xu You pointed to Liu, "Go to Lian Er and ask."

"Well, we just want to ask where we can find food." Guanggong in Fudu Xizhong was embarrassed to ask for food directly.What's more, Lihai, in their eyes, is a top-level powerhouse, and he always communicates with a little respect.

"It doesn't matter, if you don't eat, you won't be able to keep up tomorrow." Using a branch to pinch the boiling water from the flames to cool down, Xu You turned to Liu, "Lian Er, do you have any more over there? Give some to Mr. Guanggong and the others."

"thank you very much!"

After eating and drinking one after another, the teenagers who had gone through a whole day of tossing were a little sleepy.

"Liu Shouye in the first half of the night, and I will keep watch in the second half of the night." Xu You stood in the middle holding a dagger, "Okay, let's all rest."

"I'm really bothering you, Mr. Shenmu."

"It's okay."

Golden Xiaochun lay down on his back, and the distant mountain next to him fell asleep on the ground.

In the dark blue sky, there are no stars, even the moon is missing a piece.

"I don't know how Yuji is doing, is he at home now?" While thinking about it, a wolf howl made everyone get up nervously.

"There are beasts here?!"

"Don't panic!" Xu You shouted, and the scene suddenly fell silent.

There was another howl, and the nearby bushes rustled.

"Xiaoyou." Liu held a burning branch in vigilance.But Xu You relaxed: "There is only one sound, it should not be a beast."

"But that shadow just now..." Echizen was still sleepy, unable to see clearly.

Before he finished speaking, there was a muted voice of surprise: "Xiaochun!" A black shadow sprang out, and the nearest Kamio was startled.

The golden eye took a closer look: "Yuji!"

"Senior." Caiqian, who was holding a bag full of wild fruits, followed behind.

"Little Light!"

"Don't you want to come?"

"Because I'm so worried about Xiaochun!" Then he got lost in the woods.

"Yuji...it's great to see you."

"Xiaochun, I didn't expect to see you again..."

"Yuji!"

"Xiaochun!"

Haitang and Taocheng twitched.

[Again. ]

"..." He let go of the hand on the hilt of the sword, and Xu You felt that it was strange that the two boys were hugging each other with tears in their eyes and caring for each other.But on second thought, sometimes he and Yukimura are... similar, right?

It's obvious when we get along recently.

[By the way, what is Yukimura-kun doing now?Should I go to sleep? ]

[OK, good night. ] Although Yukimura couldn't hear it.
