Chapter 16 Internal Competition
Friday, April 21.
"Yoping, bye bye, I'm going to the club."
"Okay, come on! Huadao."
After class, Sakuragi said hello to Mito as usual, and then turned around and left the classroom.
"Sakuragi!"
"Oh, Haruko-chan." As Sakuragi passed through the corridor, Haruko happened to walk out of the classroom.
"Are you going to the gym? Sakuragi." Haruko smiled and stepped forward on tiptoe, touching Sakuragi's short hair intimately.
After being together for so long, Sakuragi's maturity, steady and humorous personality have completely attracted Haruko. She actually accepted Sakuragi in her heart, so she would make some small moves to Sakuragi from time to time. (PS: Please don't complain: Haruko likes Sakuragi now? Such words. I said, my level is limited and I don't know how to write about emotions, so let's be more straightforward.)
"Yes, Sister Aiko said that the coach will come today, so I'm going to come early. Do you have something to come to me?" Sakuragi said happily when he saw Haruko's intimate movements.
"It's okay, I'm going to see you training too." Haruko said with a little anticipation: "This year, Shonobe joined you and Rukawa Kaede, which is definitely worth looking forward to. I believe you can definitely enter the national competition."
"Of course, okay, I'll go to the department room to change clothes. You can go to the gymnasium first." Sakuragi waved his hand and left Haruko for a while, and then went to the basketball team room.
...
"Oh, hello everyone!" "Uh, it's so early. Haha..."
Sakuragi, who had changed into short sleeves and shorts, as soon as she entered the gym, she found that all the basketball team had arrived. She was the last one. She immediately sweated and said hello quickly, then picked up the mop on the side and mopped the floor with the freshmen in the first grade. It was agreed that it would be early...
"Sakuragi... why didn't he find him so lazy before?" Akagi, who was standing beside him, immediately complained when he saw Sakuragi's last person coming.
"Haha, he was not late. We all came too early, don't ask for so much." Mu Mu heard Akagi's complaints and quickly smoothed out the situation. After all, he is a good man!
At this time, Sakuragi was dragging the ground and slowly approaching Rukawa. He looked at Rukawa who was cleaning carefully and said, "Oh, Rukawa, I didn't expect you to be a good baby? You came to clean it very early?"
Rukawa noticed it when Sakuragi approached. Although he heard Sakuragi's words at this time, he even had his expression in his mouth and said coldly without looking back: "Do you think everyone is you? Idiot."
"Haha..." Sakuragi was disappointed and ignored Rukawa and continued to clean up.
Although they have been together for a week, Rukawa is still not very interested in Sakuragi, but Sakuragi is very interested in Rukawa.
I don’t know why every time he sees Rukawa’s aloof and cold look, he wants to play with him. However, he never got a good one.
With Sakuragi alone, the cleaning speed has also increased. In a short while, the freshmen finished cleaning the museum.
"Okay, everyone is ready to line up." Seeing that the cleaning was over, Akagi immediately yelled and asked everyone to line up.
"Oh hehe, it seems that I'm coming at the right time." As soon as everyone lined up, a kind voice came from the entrance of the gymnasium.
"Coach Anxi!" "Coach Anxi!"
When the second and third graders saw that the person appeared, they immediately bowed loudly to the person coming.
"Haha." Anxi smiled and waved his hand, then looked at Sakuragi and waited for the first-year freshmen and said, "There are many freshmen coming in this year."
Feeling Anxi's gaze hidden behind the glasses, Sakuragi quickly straightened his body. Now he was not stupid enough to go up and ask Coach Anxi who is.
Although Anxi looks smiling now, Sakuragi, who knows the original SD, is still very clear about his terribleness.
"This is the coach of the basketball department, Teacher Anxi, please say hello quickly." Seeing Anxi examining the freshmen, Akagi hurriedly introduced them.
"Hello coach!"
"Hello coach!"
“…”
Hearing Akagi's words, Sakuragi, Rukawa and other freshmen also quickly bowed to Anxi to say hello.
"Hahaha..." Anxi smiled and waved his hand again, then said to Akagi: "The opponent in the warm-up match before the IH preliminaries started, has been selected, and it is Ryunan High School."
"Ringnan High School!"
"Lingnan? Lingnan from the semi-finals last year?"
"Lingnan..."
When the opponent's name was heard, the players in the second and third grades were all surprised.
No wonder they were surprised. After all, the opponents directly eliminated their team in the first round last year, and they were still in the semi-finals last year. Moreover, Lingnan would agree to the warm-up match, which made them very puzzled. After all, according to last year's match, the strength of the two sides was really far different, and it would be of no help to Lingnan himself at all.
"Okay, then let's have a first-grade competition now..." Anxi didn't care about everyone's surprise and continued to smile.
"Wait!" Sakuragi suddenly interrupted loudly.
"Sakuragi! What are you doing?" As soon as Sakuragi interrupted the coach's words, Akagi immediately scolded.
"Haha, don't be angry. Listen to me." Seeing Akagi's face turned dark, Sakuragi quickly smiled and said to Anxi, "The coach is planning to see the strength of our freshmen, right? In this case, it's better to let our freshmen form two teams to fight. After all, if you compete with the seniors, you will not be able to exert all your strength when you are suppressed, so your goal will not be achieved. Do you think so, dad?"
"Sakuragi, what are you calling a coach? You guy..." At first, Akagi felt pretty good when he listened to Sakuragi's explanation, but when Sakuragi finally called Coach Anxi's father, his face turned dark.
"Haha, Akagi, it's okay." But Anxi didn't mind. After interrupting Akagi's violent actions against Sakuragi with a smile, he said to Sakuragi, "Sakuragi, right? Although what you said just now makes sense, there are only nine freshmen, how can we form two teams?" (PS: In the episode of the original work, I counted nine freshmen.)
When Sakuragi heard Anxi say this, he knew there was a chance, so he quickly said, "Yes, there are only nine freshmen, so add a second-year senior. If you are afraid of a gap in strength between the two sides, just let the senior go to the team opposite me, do you think Rukawa?"
After understanding Sakuragi's provocation, Rukawa raised his eyebrows, but he did not object to Sakuragi's new students' suggestions for confrontation. Instead, he was looking forward to fighting Sakuragi again, so he also said, "Senior joins your team, and five new students here can do it."
As soon as Rukawa opened his mouth, he immediately formed the team.
In fact, it is better to say that it is a confrontation between him and Sakuragi.
Both of them knew it in their hearts, but Rukawa also said that he did not need the help of his senior, and he would give it to Sakuragi. Sweat! Two guys who were unwilling to admit defeat!
"Is it right for you to give it to me? I'm better than you." Hearing Rukawa's words, Sakuragi curled his lips.
"I'm better than you." Rukawa didn't rely on his side, but he still wanted to give his senior to Sakuragi.
“…”
Everyone was speechless when they saw the two people who were arguing endlessly. They had been in the fore for a week. Everyone knew the strength of Sakuragi and Rukawa, so they also knew their winning or losing.
But at this time, Yasuda and the other two were crying silently in their hearts. We are not that bad, right? No one wants it.
Bang! Bang!
The two who were fighting so hard that they had not noticed Akagi's dark face at this time. Akagi said that they could no longer bear to see, and directly gave them a huge fist.
"Hmph! You two guys are suitable for me." Looking at the two people covering their heads, Akagi snorted coldly, looked at Anxi, and sought Anxi's opinions.
"Haha, since that's the case, then the two teams will join a second-year student." After looking at Sakuragi and Rukawa with a smile, Anxi decided directly.
"OK, I have no objection." After hearing the coach's decision, Sakuragi didn't object, otherwise she would be beaten by the gorilla again.
"So too." Rukawa said in a simple manner.
"Then prepare to start, I'll be the referee." After seeing that he had no objection, Akagi said directly.
...
Chapter completed!
