Autumn famous mountain bike god is reborn

Are you kidding me?

How could Fujiwara Takumi be here!

Sakamoto's mind went blank for a moment.

He didn't notice Sakamoto's body that suddenly became stiff. When he saw Takumi Fujiwara open his mouth and greet Sakamoto, the Saitama Northwest Alliance team looked at each other and showed surprise expressions in unison.

"Hey, Sakamoto," Akiyama's eyes lit up, and he quickly pushed his friend who didn't know why and hadn't said a word since getting off the car: "Did you know Fujiwara Takumi beforehand?"

Akiyama Nobuhiko's expression, which was always the same, also changed slightly, and he asked probingly: "It's really surprising."

"...Let me tell you."

I don't know how long it took before Sakamoto looked at Akiyama Wataru blankly.

What made Akiyama's scalp tingle was that the fundus of his friend's eyes were dark and without any highlight, as if he had completely lost his vitality.

He couldn't help asking worriedly: "Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"

Sakamoto didn't answer his question, and only showed a strong sense of lovelessness all over his body, and asked almost exhausted: "Where did I offend you, A She?"

"what?!"

Akiyama Shepherd was inexplicably asked, and frowned: "The game is coming soon, what are you talking about?"

"God, I just want to come to the mountain road to change my mood, why did you let me meet that guy again?"

Sakamoto rubbed the back of his neck wanting to cry without tears, only to feel that his whole head was swollen and painful, and muttered to himself in pain: "The culprit who caused my depression appeared here...It is God who treats me Punishment for not doing business properly?"

In this world, there really aren't that many coincidences.

As for the powerful character who can drive AE86, except for Akiyama who has no roots and loves to play cool, there is only the super genius Takumi Fujiwara who left him with continuous blows in all aspects.

Because he was very close, Akiyama who happened to hear part of him talking to himself, couldn't help being surprised: "What?! Are you kidding, did he cause your bottleneck period?"

"Not at all, forget it."

Sakamoto, who wanted to relax, was unfortunately hit again, apparently not in the mood to explain it carefully to him.

If it weren't for the pride of being a professional driver here, at this moment, he would have such a headache that he didn't even want to care about the problem of face in front of his friends.

"Let me tell you the truth, that fellow Fujiwara Takumi, is a horrible existence that even our president went to stay in person again and again, and offered A+ level contract treatment. If he is willing to join the team, not only will the treatment be TOP, He will also be parachuted as first-team captain with the unanimous approval of all senior management."

Sakamoto decided to put his ugliness in front of him, to dampen the confidence of the two who thought they had a chance to win: "Although my strength is not bad in the first team, I am still a little worse than the captain, let alone Fujiwara Takumi, who is even the captain. I have to give way... If there is really a second super genius in the world who was born on a mountain road but is destined to become famous all over the world," he paused with a wry smile: "It must be you now This opponent was chosen for me. You underestimated him too much, he is simply a monster far surpassing most professional players!"

"Even if there is an extremely lightweight cappuccino like cheating, the probability that I can win him is very small." He shook his head: "I heard from the manager that he firmly rejected the president's sincerity several times. The full invitation is to focus on mountain road racing first... I didn't expect that the team he is in is the D plan that you guys are facing."

Hearing the solemnity in Sakamoto's tone, Akiyama Wataru and Akiyama Nobuhiko couldn't help but silently glanced at each other, seeing incomprehensible shock in each other's eyes.

They did not question Sakamoto's words aloud, but cast a completely different look at Fujiwara Takumi than before.

The high school student with dark brown hair that looked warm under the streetlights, his appearance was undoubtedly somewhere between cute and handsome.At this moment, he was staring intently at the leader of Project D who was talking to the technician, the corners of his lips were slightly curved, and anyone could easily see that he was genuinely happy and satisfied.

...Such a person is a monster that even professional rally driver Sakamoto fears?

Both Nobuhiko Akiyama and Shepherd Akiyama felt the absurdity of their spirit being greatly shaken.

"That," Akiyama Nobuhiko asked cautiously after a long silence, "Even if you count the lightweight advantage of cappuccino, are you still not sure of winning?"

"No." Sakamoto shook his head resolutely, and simply brought out his embarrassing experience: "I drove the same EVOIV with him once on the track I was used to running, but I failed from the beginning to the end. Follow him."

The Akiyama brothers were silent, and then Akiyama Nobuhiko couldn't help but say, "But then again, rally drivers are not good at chasing after all."

After all, the rally is a race in which cars start one by one and the results of the section track are calculated separately.

"That's right." Sakamoto scratched his head irritably: "But that guy is a special case! I'm not good at defense and offense, but he is almost omnipotent!"

At such a young age, not only has world-class driving skills, the energy and mechanical skills necessary for rally drivers, but also because of the absolute tacit understanding and trust with the navigator that all rally drivers cannot envy, and every time Can get strong motivation every moment...

"If I had known that the opponent was him, I would never have come." Sakamoto sighed depressingly: "Forgive me, I just want to adjust my mood, who knows that you directly brought the culprit that caused my depression .”

He is 26 years old this year.

Although he is still on the rise in theory, probably due to the loss of motivation, when he was at his best in the team, he could only stay in the same place, but could not make progress.

Become realistic and smooth, but also become confused and numb.

If he could have the current technology when he was 20 years old, he would probably want to compete with Fujiwara Takumi arrogantly.

Now he has seen the reality clearly, and knows the huge gap between mortals and geniuses who break through common sense... He doesn't want to ask for a blow at all, and make his already frustrated willpower even worse, and become even more depressed.

"Because I promised you in advance, I will still run." Sakamoto managed to cheer up and explained: "But you must also be mentally prepared."

Seeing Sakamoto's low fighting spirit, Nobuhiko Akiyama knew that if he had no choice, he would definitely need to change the driver.

In the competition of extreme speed competition, one side has a high fighting spirit, while the other side has a low will. Even in the case of equal skills, the former undoubtedly has an overwhelming advantage.

What's more, according to Sakamoto, Fujiwara Takumi's driving skills are miraculously better than most professional drivers.

But it was less than an hour before the game started.

Regardless of Sakamoto's state, his basic strength is here, and he has the performance advantage of cappuccino, which is better than him temporarily assigning other players to play.

"I can't help it," Akiyama Nobuhiko sighed in his heart, barely maintaining his calm face: "I didn't expect such an unexpected situation...Although it's a pity, I still have to force you, please go up and give it a try." .”

"Yes." Sakamoto said blankly, "I will try my best."

When Sakamoto returned to the cappuccino cab and symbolically started the final practice, Nobuhiko Akiyama finally showed some annoyance on his face.

He rubbed the center of his eyebrows: "What a mistake."

I'm afraid it's because his level is too far from Fujiwara Takumi's.

He only followed a curve, and he could already see that the opponent's driving skills were extremely superb, and he was a powerful character that even A She could not match.

But at what level it is, only a vague shadow can be seen.

Unexpectedly, after he cheated and moved out a professional rally driver with lightweight weapons, he would reveal even more shocking facts.

"If you fail in the downhill race, we can only rely on you, A She."

He closed his eyes, and after a brief waver, he quickly accepted the price of the miscalculation, and he regained his composure: "We must win."

"Don't worry." Akiyama said without hesitation: "It's all Turbo, I won't lose to that rich young master."

"Yeah." Akiyama Nobuhiko didn't doubt this point, nodded and muttered to himself: "However, I haven't completely given up on the downhill race yet."

Before seeing the gap in driving skills between Sakamoto and Fujiwara Takumi with his own eyes, he is still willing to have a glimmer of hope.

Cappuccino is facing AE86, even if the latter has undergone major changes, it still has an absolute advantage on the downhill road.

The body weight of the Cappuccino, which has only been slightly modified, is 86Kg less than that of the AE250.And because of the narrow body, short wheelbase and LSDABS features, the maneuverability in downhill corners is definitely far superior to that of the 86.

In terms of familiarity with the track... Fujiwara Takumi, who only ran for one night on Saturday and half a day on Sunday, met Toki Sakamoto, who came to Saitama a few days earlier and ran intermittently for three or four days. , it should also be the latter that occupies a small amount of advantage.

Although the situation on the track changes rapidly, there is no simple addition and subtraction.

But Nobuhiko Akiyama still finds it hard to imagine that Sakamoto, a professional rally driver, would come to the conclusion that it is almost impossible to win when he takes advantage of almost all objective factors.

That undoubtedly means that all his careful preparations in advance still cannot make up for the technical gap between the drivers.

It's really unbelievable.

Fujiwara Takumi, who had no idea that he just smiled and greeted people politely, and recalled Sakamoto's painful memories, was immersed in his happiest time in Project D at this time.

This is the period when the driver who races first will receive final instructions one-on-one from team leader Ryosuke Takahashi.

Of course, if it fell on the previous Fujiwara Takumi or Takahashi Keisuke, it was indeed an instruction that was either clear or required to think for oneself.

But for Fujiwara Takumi, whose car skills have become perfect, Mr. Ryosuke gave him, in addition to the compliments and praises he was most looking forward to... or the compliments and praises he was most looking forward to.

"Although the opponent is driving a car with an absolute advantage, he cannot be your opponent in terms of fighting spirit or technology."

Takahashi Ryosuke smiled slightly.

Through the spotless car window, his dark blue eyes stared quietly at Fujiwara Takumi, and his voice was low and gentle: "I'll wait for you to come back after winning."

The weight comparison between Cappuccino and 86 comes from the original comics

The rule that professional drivers cannot participate in road races comes from an interview with Tsuchiya in the official book
