Draw a card? Draw a card? !

Su Tang was watching the surveillance in the central control room all morning. Teenagers wearing school uniforms kept coming in at the gate of U-17. As soon as they entered, they would be captured by the ubiquitous surveillance cameras, and then the staff around them began to identify them. The identity of the other party, adjust the information.

Su Tang just sat on the sidelines and read the materials all morning, and he was a little impressed by U-17's intelligence system.

Everyone’s name, age, blood type and other basic information are complete, not to mention, what games they have played and the final results are also clearly listed, and there are even five-dimensional values ​​​​predicted by the coach at the beginning: speed, strength, physical strength, technique and mental strength.

The calculation of the five-dimensional value is very complicated, but if one single value exceeds 5, it is possible to become a professional player, and Su Tang discovered several "possibilities" in the process.

"Huh? This person, mental power... 6?" She was a little surprised. Should I say that he is U-17? These high school students are really scary.

On the first day of the training camp, Su Tang looked at her profile, and Coach Saito rated her as mental strength 7—although she didn't know how the other party found her past game records.

Su Tang thinks that her mental strength is very high, and she can control it freely in the competition, just like the two matches with Atobe and Sanada, she actually didn't use mental skills.

To be precise, things like mental power, which sound fantastic to outsiders but actually exist, can no longer be called tennis moves, but as a type of playing.

Yukimura's Extermination of the Five Senses belongs to this category.

However, Su Tang is self-aware that there is actually something wrong with her "7", and it is normal for her to play "5-6" in actual competitions.

Therefore, "Irie has played a lot..." Su Tang memorized the name silently, and it is estimated that Coach Saito would "like" him very much.

But the coach likes it, most people can't stand it.

……

In the afternoon, coach Saito really lived up to expectations. On the first meeting after the new students gathered, they gave a "big gift" without letting anyone put down their luggage.

Su Tang, who was watching with a tablet in his arms, said, "..."

"Haha, how does Susu feel?" Saito turned off the loudspeaker and asked her, rubbing the back of his painful head and smiling brightly.

Su Tang looked at the high school students whose minds were still immature, at least not good enough to play with the old fox, with shocked or angry eyes, and felt powerless to complain.

You let people grab the ball first and then form a team freely, and those who can’t grab the ball leave directly, and when everyone in the team thinks that they are going to play a doubles match, tell them that they are actually fighting each other to eliminate the other team as teammates ...

I don't feel much, but it feels like they're trying to fuck you.

However, Su Tang said calmly: "A very good method of spiritual cultivation." Happiness and joy are temporary, and only pain will last forever.

Saito smiled lazily, narrowing his eyes.

The winner is king, survival of the fittest. U-17 rules will not be broken just because you are dissatisfied, only the strong have the right to speak.

This is the first lesson the coach teaches them.

After experiencing the brutal duel, only half of the total number of students left on Su Tang's tablet, and the remaining students were still not let go. After seeing off their teammates, they all greeted the sunset at sunset and were caught Heavy basic training squeezed.

A long white cloth was hung on the front stand, and the capitalized black characters were clearly visible in the soft light of dusk. Each training item was whipped on these teenagers who had lost half of their teammates.

Su Tang looked at them who were sweating profusely, and lowered his eyes to suppress all the emotions in his eyes.

She supervised with coach Tuo Zhi, and after two hours, she pinched the clock and eliminated the students who could not complete the task.But no one knew whether Su Tang, who was a second or two short, let them go.

"Training is over!"

Coach Tuozhi's voice was like a bell, and the moment it rang, it took away their remaining physical strength. A group of boys who were half dead from exhaustion collapsed on the ground without any image, panting.

When Su Tang walked through the messy crowd of them, almost no one paid attention to them. Occasionally, a few eyes looked over, but disappeared before Su Tang looked back.

Without any warning, some people respond quickly and persist, while some people are indulging in temporary gains and losses. The former will continue to climb, and the latter will be out sooner or later.

Su Tang looked at the tablet. In just a few hours, the physical strength, perseverance, and mental strength of this group of teenagers, under the offensive of the coaches who were caught off guard, had obvious differences in levels.

In contrast, the number of people is also reduced by more than half.

Sitting in the bright dining room, there was almost no communication between the gobbling teenagers. Today's experience has made them exhausted, physically and mentally exhausted.No matter how bright the lamp is, it can't illuminate the haze in my heart, and no matter how delicious the food is, it tastes like chewing wax.

Tonight's U-17 is destined to be silent.

Su Tang couldn't help but wonder if this kind of training and selection was a little unreasonable, and whether it would be too strict for boys like them who used to work as a team and win or lose together.

As a result, she looked up and saw that the three coaches at the same table were all indifferent, and were concentrating on enjoying the food.

Su Tang: "..."

abnormal!

But when it comes to food, we have to mention the high-quality environment and treatment of U-17.As expected of a place where chaebols injected capital, the camp is not only large in size, but also equipped with top-notch training equipment and professional equipment, and even the living and dormitory areas are extremely luxurious.

The upper and lower floors of the restaurant are all floor-to-ceiling windows, covered with a transparent film, allowing you to enjoy the warm sunshine during the day and the quiet moonlight at night.

The three meals are all in the form of a buffet, ranging from local specialties and snacks to foreign western food, 24-hour fruit supply, and sports drinks prepared by professional nutritionists. There are even self-service vending machines in the dormitory.

In addition to more than a dozen outdoor tennis courts, there are also indoor ones, lounges, libraries, gyms, and other ball games rooms... full network coverage.

The coach dormitory where Su Tang lives is even more like a small suite.

Thinking about this, Su Tang suddenly felt a little sour. Why can't the Japanese women's tennis team work harder? !She really wants to enter the U-17 as a player, huh.

"What do Susu think about today's training?" Saito asked Su Tang with a smile when he was almost finished eating.

The girl who was still sour puffed her cheeks, and said with a blank expression: "It's pretty good, I think these boys are very resistant to pressure, maybe the training in the future can be more stringent."

Why does this sound so sour?

The girl's expression was too serious, and her tone was completely different. Saito couldn't help laughing and his shoulders shook, even Kurobe and Takuzhi couldn't help laughing.

Kurobe picked up the black tea and moistened his throat, looked at Su Tang with calm and gentle eyes, as if asking inadvertently.

"Then what do you think of China's U-17?"

The girl was taken aback when she heard the words, her eyes were blank for a moment, as if she didn't hear Kurobe's question clearly, but the chopsticks in her hand shook slightly, and they made a crisp sound when they hit the dinner plate.

Su Tang's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he put down his chopsticks when he came back to his senses.

"I don't understand...why did the coaches suddenly ask this?" She lowered her eyes and asked in a low voice.

Saito, who was sitting beside him, raised his hand and rubbed the girl's hair. The man who always pinpointed the psychological weakness of others and used it as an attack was very gentle at this time. He still grasped Su Tang's psychology, but comforted him. road:

"We're just asking you casually... It's okay, little girl, who doesn't make mistakes when they are young? Besides, that's not what you want, is it?"

Su Tang pursed his lips, raised his head hesitantly, and the long-haired man beside him patted her lightly, sitting on a chair with a height of more than two meters still felt oppressive, but his demeanor was too natural and gentle. Patting regularly, as if that would give her courage.

And Su Tang did feel the strength in this action. Although Teacher Kurobe and Teacher Tuozhi on the opposite side were silent, their soft expressions already showed their attitudes.

Su Tang opened his mouth to speak, but was choked by the soreness in his throat, "Sorry." She picked up the cup and drank almost in a panic, and the three teachers patiently waited for her to calm down.

Su Tang slowed down and said: "I... I really don't know about U-17 in China. In fact, what I received was not the invitation of U-17 at that time, but the youth training camp under the U-17 organization. In other words, when I was 11 years old, I entered the class that recruited younger teenagers."

"Compared to the formality and strictness of U-17, the management of this youth class is looser. Whether it is a student who has achieved results or a child with strong interests, everyone can join, but the latter has to pay a sum of money."

"I was invited in because of my grades in the regular competition, but... something went wrong with my parents' legacy..."

The world system changed the reason, and there was no problem with Su Tang's inherited property, but she still told the truth about it logically.

To anyone who treats you with sincerity, concealment is also a kind of harm...

The bright moon hangs high outside the window, and the clear light illuminates the joys and sorrows of the world. Even if the deep emotions are entrusted by poems and songs, it hangs high in the sky and remains indifferent, but the moonlight is so soft, so soft that it wants to drop.

Holding the glass of water, Su Tang recalled that after the difficulties at the beginning passed, the expression gradually became smoother, but compared to the happy time and honors, her later life was calmer when she talked about it.

"To put it simply, I owed a huge debt, which I absolutely couldn't afford at the time. The other party found me and went to U-17 to fight with the school every day. The school is okay, and my compulsory education is not over. , the school cannot return me due to social responsibility, but U-17..."

Su Tang doesn't need to say the latter, Kurobe and the others can figure it out, any institution can't tolerate students with taints, it's fine if it doesn't come out, but once the public knows...even if she was only 11 years old at the time.

Su Tang took a deep breath, as if letting out all the depression of those years, she lifted her spirits and said, "Later I went to play match-fixing to make money, and I couldn't hide it, so U-17 told me My past results were in doubt, so all my game records... were cancelled."

The girl smiled wearily, "Later... I want to start again, but I can no longer gain a foothold in China, so I can only go overseas."

No field can accept things like fake plagiarism to deceive the public, which is why Su Tang kept secret about the past.

She doesn't blame U-17, nor anyone else, because she did do something wrong, no matter how young, it is an undeniable fact.

However, once a person makes a mistake, it is even more difficult to start over.

No one spoke on the table for a while, the restaurant gradually became deserted, and the leftover cups and plates were messed up like the past that was thrown away. The painful and miserable things are always the first to be forgotten by people, but after going around, it is also the one who leaves the deepest impression. those tears.

It's just that lucky people will always meet people who are willing to wipe their tears for it.

Kurobe raised his hand to refill Su Tang's black tea, and the warm temperature engulfed her palm through the bone china teacup.He listened to a not-so-good story, but he still looked calm and peaceful. His calm heart made him strong at all times, but this strength did not make him lose his tenderness.

He flicked the girl's forehead with his fingers and said, "It's all over."

Su Tang smiled lightly and resolutely because of his unusual comfort, "Well, actually, I haven't thought about these things for a long time." If she wasn't strong, how could she be determined to die on the road of tennis.

The girl looked up at the teachers, smiled and said, "Probably because I always meet people who are gentle and healed."

Tuozhi's complexion was dark, and he couldn't see any expression, but Saito, who looked the most carefree, touched his head uncomfortably, and joked to himself: "Oh, I often hear those who hate me scold me, such praise, It's really rare!"

Su Tang hooked the corner of his mouth, and the smiles in his eyes overflowed layer by layer.

Don't you know yourself thoroughly?

Tuozhi clenched his fist uncomfortably against his lips, cleared his throat, "I have to get up early for work tomorrow, go back to rest early, Susu."

The teachers didn't seem to think that there was any need for in-depth discussion on the story just now, and Su Tang also felt relaxed because of their attitude. She nodded, seeing that they still had to talk about work, she didn't stay for long, got up and left.

U-17 is really silent tonight, Su Tang thought.

But that's okay, healed his wounds quietly, and could return to fighting tomorrow.

This world is so cruel that it will not stay for anyone, and it is also good at arranging many different people to appear in your life, so that you will not be lonely.
