[Comprehensive] First Love Trainee

The walk from the administration building back to the dormitory was not too long, and it took about ten minutes at a normal pace. This was the first time Maki walked so slowly.

The hug from the back came suddenly and ended without a sound. The two of them seemed to have a tacit understanding not to mention this matter, and at the same time, they both felt a little closer psychologically.In just a few hundred meters, even Tezuka, who has always been strict with himself and acted vigorously, slowed down without a teacher.

In the process, he didn't feel bored and wasting time.

At the entrance of the dormitory building, the two ran into Ren Zu and Xia Fan who came back from somewhere.Compared with the quietness of their pair, the two over there are much more lively, with Xia Fan's guitar on his left shoulder, and the girl hugging his right arm affectionately, chatting about something, both of them have very happy expressions.When the two met, they were stunned for a moment, and then the two boys greeted each other naturally, Xia Fan's eyes drifted past Maki and Tezuka's hands, and he winked at his friend teasingly.

Some people are serious and restrained on the surface, but unexpectedly, they are also a little self-conscious about falling in love.The blond girl glanced at Tezuka again with the mentality of watching the show, and saw that although the other party still had a calm expression, he was obviously not used to having an intimate behavior in front of others, just like her best friend who wanted to save face, her gaze was a bit unnatural.

But if he can hold his girlfriend's hand generously, he can barely be considered a pass!The blond girl thought rather wickedly.

"Tell me quickly, what are you doing dating? I'll tell you that people should not be judged by appearances, right? It's no wonder that ice cubes like Tezuka Kunimitsu have the self-consciousness to talk about love with girls. Yes." As soon as the door of the dormitory was closed, Xia Fan started to gossip.She was really curious, based on her understanding of Maki and her impression of Tozuka, it shouldn't be too exciting for these two novices to date together.However, the word "dating" is quite inappropriate when applied to Tezuka. Xia Fan really wants to know that Maki is not the kind of "self-acquainted" who wants face and image, and is with this kind of taciturn boy It is definitely impossible to chat, what can I talk about all night?

Shivering with fright at the green light in his friend's eyes, Maki pushed aside to look at the lively Xia Fan, with a helpless tone: "Tezuka-kun is not an alien, you don't have to be so curious, right? What are you doing? Just watch him practice! He has to guide the players during the day, so he doesn’t have much time for recovery training.”

"Isn't it? You've all started dating, and it's so hard to be alone to watch each other play? You haven't watched enough in the training camp every day?" Xia Fan rolled his eyes, "Isn't it like this when you don't date..."

When Xia Fan said this, Maki suddenly thought of the back hug, and knew what Xia Fan meant by "dating".Thinking about it together, even though he tried his best to control it, his face was still flushed, and he was immediately caught by the sharp-eyed Xia Fan.

"Oh——" she dragged out her voice, meaningfully, and looked up and down at Maki meaningfully, then snickered, and was abducted by Maki who became angry from embarrassment.

Afraid that Xia Fan would pester him to dig out the details, Zhenji hurriedly changed the subject: "Why are you dating and still bring a guitar? It's a mini concert for two people?"

"It doesn't count." After putting on the mask, Xia Fan lay down on the bed, lazily, "I heard from Mr. Huacun that the American team should arrive in two days. Coach Sakaki has a friend who works in the media. Internal news said that the opponent will hold a press conference at that time, and it seems that a lot of player brochures have been printed. Anyway, the battle is very big. We are also at home, so we can’t be weaker than the away American team in terms of announcements, right? Think it over, write the team song before the representative is selected, and then shoot some highlights of the usual training. When the list is confirmed, the video and brochure can be made. The result of the game is theirs As for athletes, those of us who do logistics can’t lose our momentum, can we?”

"I heard from Coach Sakaki that we will help us to receive the US team when it arrives." Saying this, Maki recalled Sakaki Taro's order a few days ago.

Then there is the foreign guest team, after all, it is just a youth friendly match. The US team wants to publicize that the US has a sponsor and has a lot of money. Budget is limited.If it is distributed to publicity, naturally there is no money to hire a professional translator. Unfortunately, the average English level of Japanese citizens is very regrettable.

Both of them have done programs in TKS. The promotion methods in the Japanese TV circle are mostly various variety shows. Even the Real Madrid team that Beckham played in Japan a few years ago was promoted through variety shows.

At the level of Real Madrid, they have only appeared on variety shows a few times. Naturally, the American West Coast Youth Team cannot meet such a style, but if you are willing to spend money, you can still do it by buying a ten-minute press conference on a local station. .Naturally, the Japanese sponsorship will not pay such money. Tennis is not as popular as baseball in Japan, and the level and scope of the event are not enough. If you want to create a place for publicity, you have to find another way.Coincidentally, Xia Fan is quite an internet celebrity on Twitter. He usually posts some interesting videos or original songs he edited by himself, and has hundreds of thousands of fans. His account is quite popular among young people, especially middle school students. .And Maki's official account for radio programs also has hundreds of thousands of fans, because most of the content released is related to the program, and the audience is fairly wide. Such a natural publicity platform, Coach Sakaki does not use it for nothing.

And because the two had been volunteers, and they didn't know anything about tennis, instead of spending money to hire a translator who didn't know enough about tennis to accompany them, it was better to use local materials and let Xia Fan and Zhenji act as guest translators.Everyone is about the same age, and the U.S. team will take care of their own board and lodging and will not involve too many conference affairs and organizational matters. These few students are enough for daily communication--Coach Sakaki's wishful thinking.

As a pragmatic adult who valued the player's ability, Taro Sakaki had a bad impression of the flamboyant head coach of the US team before meeting him.

In the second half of the training camp, the competition began to heat up.After the adjustment and accumulation in the early stage, the participants in the training began to exert their strength one after another, and the results of the training camp gradually appeared. The training menu has obviously increased compared with when they first entered the camp.When Maki was doing volunteer work, she could also feel that the concentration of the players had risen to a new level, and the quality of each practice match had also improved significantly.

After all, there are only seven people who can enter the representative team roster. If you want to stand out from the dozens of people participating in the training, you can't just rely on luck once or twice.

The training plans of each team tend to be saturated, and the playground and court during practice time are tense and orderly.Everyone was practicing hard, and Yamabuki's first-year volunteer Tantaichi ran down the steps in a panic, stood on the side of the court and shouted out of breath: "Something has happened! Over there, Hyotei's Atobe-senpai and Ritsukai Dai Senior Sanada is ready to compete!"

Since it is practiced in groups, it is only natural that only players in the same group have the opportunity to practice.Atobe is a player in the Huacun team, and Sanada is in the coach Sakaki team. The two private matches do not comply with the regulations of the youth training camp. Neither of them has a disproportionate personality. People find a stadium that is not noticed by others.

Tan Taichi is very good at focusing on the key points: "I heard it with my own ears just now. What Atobe-senpai and Sanada-senpai said that only those who win are eligible to compete with Tezuka-senpai..."

The words are unclear, but they can arouse people's curiosity even more.In the group, Kikumaru Momoshiro and the members of Seigaku couldn't stay any longer, and looked expectantly at the person in the center of the topic.Tezuka frowned and pondered for a while, without expressing any objection, the team members happily followed Tan Taichi and ran to the competition venue.

"At Atobe-kun's level, maybe he doesn't pay attention to other opponents except for someone, right?" Although the players in this training camp are all elites from various schools, at the level of Keigo Atobe, it is indeed It's understandable to get bored if you get too much ahead of everyone else.It's just that he is not an athlete, and Maki can't quite understand Atobe's obsession with Ozuka.

Hearing what Dan Taichi said, not only Atobe, but Sanada also cares about Tezuka as an opponent?

They are all of the same age, why does this person have the ability to make other equally outstanding opponents a benchmark?

While speaking, Maki couldn't help but cast a sideways glance at Tezuka, who was tall and indifferent beside him.

Maybe it's because, no matter what kind of opponent he faces or what kind of situation he encounters, he can always be firm and never waver?With such a character, it's no wonder that such a young man stands out from the crowd and easily gains everyone's attention. After all, isn't he also attracted by his resolute character?

The only match that can be called "top" that Maki has observed is the match between the Kanto Daiichibu and Tezuka.Although he is a layman, he can indeed feel the atmosphere and rhythm of players of their level playing against each other.

Obviously, with the reputation of Sanada and Atobe, and after Tan Taichi's fanfare publicity, it was supposed to be a behind-the-scenes competition, but people from all bases came to watch.Although coach Huacun was not in favor of cross-group competitions, coach Sakaki did not stop them, and everyone was happy to have such a peak duel to watch, and everyone gathered around the stadium to watch excitedly.

Both of them have a strong fighting spirit, and they can feel the tension of sparks flying across the net. On the other hand, the central figure who caused the struggle beside him has no consciousness of being the focus at all. Watching the game on the field, his expression was as calm as if he was usually guiding the members to train.

"Just listening to the lines, I can imagine a love-hate relationship triangle." Xia Fan whispered to Zhen Ji, "No wonder the ice emperor and his colleagues all privately said that Jibu is the number one Tezuka chef in Kanto."

"You have to be careful. From now on, your rivals in love will not only be the girl who wrote the love letter, but also the 'destined opponent', and the biggest obstacle in love, tennis." She snickered and peeked at a certain poker player at the center of the topic. face, teased.

Maki Black Line.

The author has something to say:

When I watched the TV version, I thought it was exaggerated to see the US team making such a high-profile announcement, but in fact, the popularity of Japanese variety shows and middle school sports clubs is beyond imagination.Many strong schools in the high school sports department will also conduct group interviews, set up Twitter or ins account live broadcasts, etc., and the cheerleading team is also very powerful. It is indeed that the animation is reflected in reality
