Autumn famous mountain bike god is reborn

Ninomiya Taihui knocked on the door, and after getting a reply from inside, he opened the door and came in: "President, I'm coming in."

"I'm sorry to have called you here so suddenly."

President Dongtang sat relaxed on the sofa in the lounge, and pointed to the opposite sofa with his right hand holding a cigarette: "Sit down first."

"Oh well."

Although Ninomiya Daiki didn't know the specific situation, but he has always respected the president very much, so he immediately sat down according to the other party's instructions.

"This afternoon, around two or three o'clock." President Dongtang put out the cigarette, and said seriously: "There is an important guest from Gunma County, and I need your help to receive it."

"what?"

Nigong Daihui was stunned, and stared at the face of President Dongtang for a long time. After making sure that the other party was not joking, he couldn't help asking in a daze: "Guests from horses? Shall I receive them?"

There has never been such a situation in Dongtang School.

"Yeah." President Dongtang smiled, and suddenly changed the subject: "Fuji Rapid Road Team, have you heard of it?"

Nigong frowned slightly, and said cautiously in his tone: "I heard Brother Zhi mentioned it."

The Tomoko he was talking about was Tomoyuki Kanan, an active professional driver who graduated from Todo School two years ago and was known as the strongest among all the graduates.

As one of the current students of Todo School with the best grades, Ninomiya Daiki and Tate Tomoyuki have a long-term friendship and often communicate by phone.

It is precisely because of this that he also knows best about Brother Zhi's recent career downturn.

Tomoyuki Tate, who has been in the professional racing world for more than two years, is very clear that this is a cruel world where money is paramount.

If the team does not have enough funds to produce the best car performance, it is doomed to lose on the straight.

If you can’t catch up on the straights, it’s difficult for professional drivers to gain an advantage in the corners when the skills of professional drivers are similar, so you will fall into the predicament of not being able to get good results and acting recklessly.

If the drivers can't get good results, it will be more difficult for the team to get new sponsors, and it may even disappoint the existing sponsors, forming a vicious circle that cannot be broken.

And such a new team like the Fuji Rapid Road Team, which has a strong capital injection behind it, can not only shake a large amount of money to poach pillar drivers from other teams, but also spend a lot of money to improve the performance of the car. The existence of reason.

Tomoyuki Tate was born as a mountain road racer and entered the professional world. He has suffered a lot to get to the top of the current team.

But as there are more and more teams like Fuji Rapid Road, the situation of his team is getting more and more difficult. It seems impossible for him to break out of the quagmire and run out of results.

"Well, I'm in that convoy, and I have two old acquaintances who used to have a good relationship." President Dongtang seemed not to notice Ninomiya Daiki's face suddenly dimmed, and continued: "They made a special call last night. Come, just want to ask me to borrow the main stadium, so that they can recruit a young driver who has been very optimistic about them recently into the team."

"Huh? Really?"

Nigong Dahui asked in surprise: "The one who will come from Qunma in the afternoon? Will the president help them investigate him?"

In a small place like Gunma County, there is no such thing as Dongtang Juku.

Except for the "Akagi White Comet" Takahashi Ryosuke who doesn't know the specific strength, but is almost blown into the sky, who is known as the number one star in the horses.

He really hadn't heard of any young drivers with great potential.

It was able to attract the attention of the Fuji Rapid Road team, which has rapidly risen with abundant funds and achieved good results in Tokyo, where there are many masters.

"No. They sent someone from Tokyo overnight, and they are currently catching up on sleep at a nearby hotel, and they will show up in the afternoon." President Dongtang showed a narrow smile: "I knew you would be very curious, Dahui. , I specifically asked you to do the reception. Why, I guessed right, right?"

Ninomiya Daihui smiled helplessly: "As expected of being the president."

After the few simple explanations just now, his curiosity was indeed strongly aroused.

What kind of existence on earth not only attracted the attention of the Fuji Rapid Road team, but even sent people from Tokyo to inspect the opponent's strength in person without fear of trouble in order to attract the opponent into the team?

Ninomiya Daihui asked: "What's the name of that driver from Gunma?"

The president of Dongtang spread his hands and said unhappily: "I asked about it last night, but those guys, as if they were afraid of me robbing people, just pretended to be stupid and refused to say anything."

Ninomiya Daihui showed shock, for a moment he didn't know whether President Todo's words were true or not.

The strength of Dongtang School is a high level that has been certified by many professional teams.

How could there be such a situation as the president said?

"One more thing." Ninomiya Daihui got up and left, and when he had already put his hand on the doorknob, President Todo said leisurely: "In order to coax that person into the team, they actually took the name of hiring a test driver." head. Isn't that funny?"

Ninomiya Daiki was completely stunned.

Test driver...?

Do not make jokes!

How could a team like the Fuji Rapid Road team with outstanding performance be short of test drivers!

Ninomiya Daiki froze in place for a while, then turned around and looked at President Todo with a serious expression: "If this is true, then I will definitely stay at the scene and witness with my own eyes just how extraordinary the strength is. .”

President Dongtang smiled: "Oh, I just want you to be as motivated as you are now."

Ninomiya Daihui knew that he probably fell into the president's aggressive tactics, but he also knew that the president did not lie or exaggerate.

He just couldn't take it.

You know, even the pride of Todo School, the impeccable record as a mountain driver, and the senior Tate Tomoyuki whom he admires, have never received such treatment.

Not only that, Tate Tomoyuki had to suffer a lot in order to wash off the imprint of the mountain road racer on his body and adapt to the real race.

Zhi Ge, who is so good that he is amazing, can't get a different look from the professional team. Why can the driver from Gunma?

Even though they haven't met each other yet, Ninomiya Daihui has vaguely developed a bit of hostility and fighting spirit in his heart.

While he was waiting for the people from Gunma in the lounge, Sakai, a fellow student with whom he had the best relationship on weekdays, suddenly opened the door and came in.

"Dahui?"

Sakai widened his eyes slightly in surprise: "Is your company also on holiday today?"

"Yeah." Ninomiya Daihui answered absent-mindedly, and then added an explanation: "There is not much to do, the president suddenly called me, I thought there was something urgent, so I simply skipped work and came here."

"Huh?" Sakai couldn't help asking: "Can I ask what it is?"

Ninomiya Daihui paused, remembering that President Todo obviously wanted to see his funny reaction, and knowing that there was probably no need to keep it secret, he simply told Sakai.

"Is there such a good driver in Gunma?" Sakai smiled and squinted his eyes: "I also want to see it. Dahui, you don't mind?"

"Ah, whatever you want."

Thinking of the depressed brother Zhi, Ninomiya Daihui felt a little bit depressed.

I hope that guy from the group of horses has some real skills...

Otherwise, as the home driver, he would give the opponent a vicious blow in front of the scouts of the Fuji Rapid Road team.

In order to satisfy his curiosity, Sakai decided to stay.

Ninomiya and Sakai waited in the living room until one o'clock in the afternoon, when the engine of the ONEBOX came from outside the door.

They looked at each other and walked out quickly.

After the ONEBOX was parked in the parking space, three people in Fuji Rapid Road uniforms got down from it.

Looking at the three completely different systems, there should be one technician, one driver, and one management team.

"What a big battle."

Sakai narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.

"Yeah." Ninomiya Daihui said without surprise: "Didn't the president say that? They really value the driver from Gunma to an incomprehensible level."

"Well, I'm so nervous, I'm afraid it's because I'm worried that other teams will rob people." Sakai smiled: "It really made me more curious. Hurry up and show up." "

After the three came in, they greeted the two students of Dongtang School very politely. The man in the management attire entered the president's office and stayed there for a while before returning to the lounge.

The five of them waited quietly.

When the hour hand pointed to "two", there was finally another movement outside the door.

Evening is the time when the students of Dongtang School are active, and because the road maintenance is going on near the main stadium of Dongtang School, there will be almost no ordinary vehicles passing by.

Will come here, probably the driver from Gunma.

Before Ninomiya Daiki and Sakai could react, the three members of the Fuji Rapid Road Team who caught the dull sound of the turbine engine running at high speed earlier than them stood up and walked out quickly.

That mysterious master from the horses, is his car a turbo engine?

Ninomiya and Sakai looked at each other silently, and followed without hesitation.

Ryosuke Takahashi had just stopped the FC, and when he looked at Takumi Fujiwara, who had started to take off his seat belt, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the five people running out of the door, and couldn't help smiling: "They really value you very much."

Takumi, who has always been indifferent to outsiders' gazes and comments, didn't know what to answer when he heard this, and finally only showed a shy smile.

He and Mr. Ryosuke opened the door and got out of the car almost at the same time, and the five people who approached quickly split into two waves.

"What, if I remember correctly, isn't that person Ryosuke Takahashi?"

Ninomiya Daiki, who still reads occasionally, frowned, despite his disdain for those car magazines that like to exaggerate the truth.

After he recognized Ryosuke Takahashi, he looked at Sakai in puzzlement: "It turns out that the person who the president said was so mysterious is the big star of the horses who has always been very popular—"

Sakai interrupted him hastily: "Dahui, look quickly."

Ninomiya Daiki followed his line of sight, and immediately landed on the face that was so young that it was impossible to think of "the driving skills are so high that professional drivers compete for it".

……No way?

Ninomiya Daiki's pupils suddenly constricted, clearly reflecting the object that the Fuji Speedway team, who was indifferent and alienated just now, but now with a friendly smile on his face, was really approaching.

He didn't know how long he was silent, and then he said in a breathy voice: "I'm just kidding."

No matter how you look at it, he's just a high school student who just got his driver's license!
