Blade of Glory [Figure Skating]

"Sega Avenue... No. 1725, Sega Avenue."

Qing Yue, who was wearing a white cotton slim-fit shirt, a red scarf around his shoulders, and a hat covering his slightly long forehead, took a small memorandum to copy the address of the studio of a well-known choreographer in this area, even in this city. Book.Find an unmarked studio on an unfamiliar street.

After walking along this road for a long time, I found the building that looked a bit dilapidated.After entering, I took the elevator to the seventh floor and heard very rhythmic music easily.It was a voice that was difficult to ignore through the glass door.

"Hello, I'm sorry to disturb you. That's right, I want to find Mr. Ruize."

Pushing open the door, the deafening music was unstoppable and unscrupulous.The empty room has a wooden floor, and the walls are painted in a casual and artistic sense of black background. One of the walls is completely glassed, and several people in loose clothes seem to be working The choreographer saw Qing Yue's arrival and did not stop the music.One of them got up and walked towards Qingyue, Qingyue tried his best to explain his purpose of coming to the other party's ear with the loudest voice and politeness.

"I'm here to find Mr. Ruize, and I want to ask him to help me choreograph a set of dances."

Hearing Qing Yue's intention, the other party nodded, and took Qing Yue to the corridor leading to a small door in the room without saying much.The other party didn't say anything along the way, but politely knocked on the door of the small room at the end of the corridor for Qingyue and left first.

When the door opened, Qing Yue took a deep breath.The style here is completely different from the dance room outside.This is a clean, bright and spacious room.There are several neatly placed CD racks, and a coffee pot that is brewing coffee, exuding an attractive aroma.There is a large area inside, with a large gold-rimmed mirror placed against the wall, in case it can be choreographed smoothly when inspiration strikes.

"Oh, did you come to find me on purpose? You know, it's hard to find me here."

Just as Qing Yue was observing the room, a voice came.It was a middle-aged man who came out of the office's own pantry.The other party's dressing taste is very peculiar, or it can be described as weird.His figure is obviously a little deformed, his eyebrows are very light, but his eyes are very big.The voice was very soft, so soft that it contrasted sharply with his appearance.

Hearing the voice of the owner of the room, Qing Yue tensed his body reflexively, but then relaxed, and replied very politely: "Yes. I have been looking for this place for a long time."

Seeing that the other party smiled noncommittally and then looked at himself, Qing Yue continued to stand upright and expressed his intention to the other party: "Please allow me to introduce myself, Mr. Ruize. My name is Qing Yue, I listen and I My friends who received dance training together said that you are the best choreographer, so I really want to come to you to arrange a set of dances for me."

"For whom...? For you?"

When the other party heard the praise of "the best choreography", there was a look of pride in his eyes, but he was puzzled when he heard that Qing Yue wanted him to choreograph for himself.

"Yes, Mr. Reese."

"I'm sorry, what did you say your name was?"

"I said...my name is Qing Yue."

"Qingyue...Qingyue..."

The knuckles of the middle-aged choreographer knocked on the hard desk surface, "Duo!" "Duo!" "Duo!", again and again.After a long time, he raised his head, smiled apologetically and said, "Qingyue? But I don't seem to have heard your name, young man?"

Speaking, the middle-aged choreographer seemed to have seen Qing Yue's attempt to say something, and immediately stopped Qing Yue with a hand gesture, and continued: "Don't worry, don't worry, I know you want to say that you are still young, You haven't had a few competitions yet. But you should understand that if you were a really good figure skater, you should have let me know your name at your age."

The middle-aged choreographer begins pacing the room, smiling.

"Young man, since you know that I am the best choreographer in this city, you should also know that it is impossible for a choreographer of my level to choreograph an unknown kid. However, if you are really very I want to ask me to make a set for you, so that you can surprise the referee in the game, and if you notice you, it’s okay. A set of choreography is 30."

……

This was the reason why Qing Yue was in a bad mood all day.I heard about this person's name from a partner who was learning dance together, and it was during the summer vacation, so I wanted to come and have a try.After all, the national championship that Ling Qingyue has been preparing for for a long time will be in January next year.Although three months doesn't sound like a short time, for Qingyue, who has never performed real choreography and slipped out a complete program in the strict sense, the time is already very tight.What's more, the regional trials will start early before then.

He wanted to try it himself without bothering Naxiu, but he bumped into such a big wall just as he went out.He gritted his teeth with hatred, and even picking up a small stone and throwing it hard at the glass window of the so-called best choreographer in this area couldn't calm him down.Seeing that it was still early before the departure time of the return ticket he bought, he still had to hang around here for a long time.Depressed, I had to buy some food and wandered aimlessly in the streets.I never thought about it, but I went to a large-scale ice skating rink.

Looking at the skates in his hand, Qing Yue tilted his head and thought for a while, and finally took out the pocket money he had saved for two weeks and walked in.

As soon as he walked into the venue, he could feel that it was completely different from when he received skating training.There were so many people in the ice rink that Qing Yue was not used to it, but among them there were very few who could even perform basic footwork correctly.It can be seen that most of them are here to play.Although many people didn't even dare to loosen the outer handrails, and some even fell over from time to time, they still had a great time playing.This feeling is very novel to Qingyue, but he slides slowly and calmly, feeling the rare leisure, relaxation and comfort on the ice.

But not long after, exclamations came from the crowd.That was a teenager with professional skating skills.It can be seen that he has received systematic training and has been learning figure skating for a long time. He showed his dazzling skills without any scruples in the ice rink full of laymen.His nimble footwork allows him to easily avoid crowds that cannot be dodged.Almost all the people in the ice rink stopped, and they stood there watching the young man's performance in amazement.

The young man's facial features are very beautiful, and the tails of his eyes are raised upwards, which outlines a kind of self-confidence, even arrogance, that can be revealed without words.Yes, a kind of arrogance was silently exuded from him.

Qing Yue stopped in his tracks, and looked at the boy in front of him like everyone else in the ice rink.I saw him slide forward for a while to gain enough speed after a series of footwork changes.

Here it is... 3A-2T.

3A-2T, 3Axel-2toeloop, that is Axel's triple axel followed by a double-jump on the ice.The former takes off forward and lands backward. It needs to go through the shift of the center of gravity and the number of three and a half weeks. It is recognized as the most difficult of all jumps.And the double jump with the inside ice tap needs to tap the ice before taking off, so as to take off with the inside edge.

This is already a jumping movement that is used in professional competitions. People in the ice rink were all amazed and exclaimed after seeing it. A little smug expression appeared on the face of the young man who heard this, but because of this, He didn't notice that there was a little girl who just fell on the ice on his sliding track when he was gliding backwards.Seeing that he was about to collide with her, Qing Yue hurriedly took a few steps, accelerated suddenly, quickly dodged three people on the ice, hugged the little girl, turned around and narrowly escaped.

"You're too careless! You shouldn't be skating so fast in such an ice rink, and you still have to jump. It's not as simple as going to the hospital for a few stitches if the ice blade crushes your finger. How are you going to compensate others if you touch your face!"

The other party was frightened by the danger just now, and was about to run over to apologize, but when he saw that such a kid as Qing Yue actually made the matter so serious, and he still looked so thorny, he immediately forgot that he almost hit him just now. People's thrills and unhappiness have arrived.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I bump into someone and use the ice blade to crush someone's finger!"

"How is it impossible? I saw it. You just landed on the ice and skating, so you didn't have time to react!"

Hearing Qing Yue say what he thought was an insult in such an affirmative tone, the boy almost went mad with anger.

"Nonsense! I can control it very well. Even if you didn't show up at the time, I would never bump into someone!"

Hearing this, Qing Yue didn't say much, but snorted coldly, turned around and left without looking at the other party, this behavior undoubtedly stimulated the young man, he struggled for a long time and shouted to Qing Yue: " I am Chu Xuan, the champion of the youth group of this National Figure Skating Championship and the runner-up of the World Youth Championship! Such a mistake is absolutely impossible!"

This statement caused the crowd to be in an uproar, but Qing Yue turned around with disbelief on his face, and said firmly: "Impossible. Although I didn't watch this year's competition, the champion of the National Youth Championship should be very strong, it is impossible The error in using the blade that you just exposed appeared, and the 3A-2F jumps should not be of such quality. You hesitated in the first jump, and the second jump had no speed at all, and the height and distance were completely out of control. No. Don’t you feel that the jump just now was very uncomfortable for you?”

Perhaps what Qing Yue said is true, but such a judgment standard may not necessarily apply to figure skaters of their age.In fact, in the youth group, this kind of double jump is enough to impress the judges, but Qing Yue has no idea about these.His most intuitive reference standard is his teacher, Naxiu.Therefore, if Naxiu's jump is used as a comparison standard, the jumps performed by the young man named Chu Xuan in front of him are simply horrible.

Because what Qing Yue said was indeed the truth, but he said Chu Xuan with such a high standard of judgment nonchalantly, so that Chu Xuan, who had received countless praises and applause along the way, felt as if he was severely beaten in front of the public Like a slap in the face.The figure skating skills that he was so proud of were criticized so worthless by a person who came out of nowhere, even if the other party did him a big favor, so that the little girl would not be injured because of his own reasons, but he It was still unacceptable, and even the blood flowed from embarrassment into anger.

"Since you're good at it, why don't you come here!?"

Hearing this sentence, the crowd gradually dispersed, and everyone's attention was focused on the boy who looked slender and delicate, and had an unusually calm expression at the moment.An extremely bad premonition came to Chu Xuan like a flash flood...
