Blade of Glory [Figure Skating]

"From tomorrow, I will wait for you at the airport, and I will buy two tickets to the capital from here at ten o'clock in the morning every day until the day when the figure skating delegation departs. I hope...you won't let me Wait too long."

After saying this sentence, the strange visitor named Qu Shen said goodbye to Qingyue politely.But just as he walked to the door, Qing Yue, who had been silent for a long time, stopped him.

"Wait a minute! Why are you... why are you doing this?"

"Ah..." Qu Shen, who had already turned the doorknob, turned around, "I did this because I think you have a bright future in figure skating, and you will be invincible in the past 20 years. I believe I I can't go wrong with such an obvious judgment. If I can, I hope to be your agent."

The sports agent who claimed to be Qu Shen left, but caused a huge wave in Qingyue's heart.He's still too young after all to feel like... this season is too special for him.Especially here... If he can't be on the world stage with Chu Xuan, Alek, and Le Sheng this season, his rapid rise will disappear like a myth.

One year is too long for him...

Going to watch my performance at the Youth Championship last year again, it was as immature as it was in the last century.So, how many centuries will it take for him to let the world know his existence?

Qing Yue once thought that world was far away from him.When he first saw Nashu perform on ice, when he was sitting in the gymnasium with the other kids at school watching Le Sheng on the big screen.He thought that it would be impossible to stand with those people and stand on the world stage throughout his life.At the beginning of his ice learning, he really didn't think about these things, he just enjoyed the feeling of skating, jumping on the ice, and even drawing the world in his heart...

However, when he rose rapidly, when he participated in the National Youth Championship for the first time, it seemed that something had quietly changed...

That young man who was ignorant of his talent, but his dedication to skating was not lost to anyone else, he began... to follow in Naxiu's footsteps, to enter Alek and more The world where the world's top skaters live.As if, that was his way home.

Yearning, so hoping that I can be a member of that world.

And the National Championships in January made him realize...it's completely possible, even...he can compete with Alek and the others this year.Before he came back to his senses, he heard Chu Xuan say to him: "Qingyue, let's create our era together. Ten or even 20 years later, those younger generations will be unable to reach the era."

At that moment, the surge in my heart was unprecedented.It seemed to him that... maybe he was made for this.

Alek was waiting for him at the World Championships, and Le Sheng, who represented the Xishu Snowboard Team, also said that he would be waiting for him at the World Championships.And he, together with Chu Xuan, will represent Xi Shu in the World Championships in two months.A strange world is about to open the door in front of him.

But when he was perfecting every detail of the game program for the World Championships in March, he waited for the news that he was excluded from the three places in the World Championships.It's not because he's not good enough, it's just because he's too young...

How can he accept this?

Yes, he can still participate in the World Youth Championships, a special grace bestowed by the Ice Association, that competition for children who are not old enough to participate in the World Championships or second-tier players from each country who have not been able to transfer to the adult group for a long time.

But the sharpness bestowed upon him by his exorbitant youth and extraordinary talent made him despise such grace.Until...the arrival of Qu Shen, the arrival of that strange man overturned all his stubborn opinions.It also made him realize... Maybe participating in the World Youth Championship and completing his program better than anyone else would be a head-on blow to the Ice Association.At least, he can let the Ice Association know...they are wrong, and they are wrong too much.

There is still one week before the Xishu figure skating team goes to the World Championships.Maybe... he should do something this week so that he can give the ice association a good shot in that game that meant a lot to him...

A week passed quickly.As usual, the Xishu Ice Association held a short press conference the day before the players set off for the World Championships.The general purpose is to show the media and sponsors how good the players are, and how great the chances of getting a good ranking in the previous World Championships are.

Of course, sometimes the Ice Association will announce some temporary personnel replacements at this time.For example, this time... when Qing Yue left the press conference on the day when the list was announced, and did not actively contact them for more than ten days, the very displeased ice hockey association decided to take away his quota for the World Youth Championship Erase, and let the third runner-up of this year's national championship youth group replace him.

"Then, because Qing Yue, the third runner-up of this year's National Championship, has been feeling unwell recently, the Xishu Figure Skating Association temporarily decided to choose Chen Hanlai, the bronze medalist of this year's National Youth Championship..."

"Sorry, President!"

Just when the president of the Xishu Figure Skating Association was about to announce the decision, Chu Xuan, who had just received a text message from Qing Yueyu outside the venue, interrupted the president's speech in a panic at this moment, and was transferred by the other party because of this. Looking straight ahead.However, the darling of the Ice Association, who was at home in the media's pursuit, withstood it!He withstood the tremendous pressure, and said to the chairman without blushing and heartbeat while the media turned their heads to watch: "I-I'm really sorry! Three days ago, Qing Yue told me that he His illness is cured, let me inform you. No! In fact, he is not sick, he just knows that he is going to represent Xishu to participate in world competitions and he is too excited! Because he has been in a state of too high spirit for a long time , made his body a little uncomfortable. But he has adjusted now! He said that he has made full preparations to ensure that he can participate in the World Youth Championship in the best condition! That's it!"

After Chu Xuan made up this passionate speech that was not very reliable but barely passable under heavy pressure, he panted slightly and smiled very happily.But with a smile, he couldn't stop laughing, because the president of the Xishu Figure Skating Association came next to him without any ups and downs—"Then why didn't you say it three days ago?"

"Because, because I'm so happy!" After that, Chu Xuan, who seemed to have entered a state of excitement, stood up with the microphone in one hand and faced more than a dozen cameras, trying to divert his attention and said: "Friends from the media, I'm too excited. I'm so happy, because at this World Youth Championship, Qing Yue's skating coach who has never shown up will appear. He told me that the coach who discovered him and taught him is named Naxiu!"

After uttering these words clearly and quickly, Chu Xuan was stunned, "Eh... eh? Then...that Xiu?"

After that, the reporters in the venue whispered about something.Some people who didn't know who Naxiu was and the myths he created began to ask each other, asking each other about something.Who is this coach who can train a 13-year-old boy who has never touched figure skating to be able to win a place in the national championship in three years? What country is he from? who.

However, I don’t know which senior sports media person almost lost control and shouted to Chu Xuan: "Naxiu! Is that the Jia country figure skater 20 years ago! He won the Olympic gold medal at the age of 17. And Naxiu who announced his retirement immediately after that!?"

The scene got out of control.The reporters present frantically rushed to ask various questions to Chu Xuan, the only insider present.Those who got this blockbuster even forgot about the order of the press conference, and rushed forward one after another, wanting to obtain first-hand information about this explosive news.

Poor Chu Xuan who only received one text message and didn't know the crux of the problem at all.Even he himself was shocked, and only when he came back to his senses a little bit, he saw the horrible scene of those media people rushing forward as if they were fleeing to save their lives.So, tonight's hero crouched down in this way, scrutinized towards the exit, and escaped because of this...

After escaping, the star of the night, who was doing both for his friend, quickly rushed to the gathering place that Qingyue mentioned in the text message, and when he saw the familiar figure of the other party, he threw himself into the air and shouted: : "Qing, Yue! You kid...you dare to frame me! I'll strangle you! Stretch you strangle you!!"

So, is Qingyue finally allowed to participate in the World Youth Championship?The answer is yes.

Regardless of the chaotic farce, if the Ice Association denied that Qingyue would represent Xishu in the competition and ended hastily, how embarrassing the Ice Association would be.After all...abandoning the third place in the adult group of the National Championships and using the third place in the youth group... This is not a wise move for any country, and the media will wantonly publicize their unwiseness.What's more... Qingyue's coach is a great miracle that the figure skating empire can never replicate.The entire figure skating world will be shaken by his return.

The Ice Association couldn't find any reason to reject Qing Yue.They should not be selfish or reasonable.What's more, the rankings athletes can achieve in the world are much more important than their personal preferences.

Therefore, under the hype behind the scenes of a certain sports agent named Qu Shen, the news that Naxiu, who was once the light of the country of Jia, will return in another way was infinitely magnified.Of course, most of today's ice fans don't know what the name "Naxiu" stands for...what exactly.However, it made Qing Yue successfully attract the attention of the Federation of Disarmament.

This is the first step that Qu Shen helped Qing Yue take.
