Chapter 76
"Editor-in-Chief Jiecheng, that person beside the Budongfeng principal just now..." Jingshang Shou asked eagerly, a glimmer of excitement flashing in his eyes.
"Just as you thought,"
Jiecheng Tongren's calm expression revealed a smile as he said.
"Ji Le Taizao!"
Confirming the answer in his heart, Jingshang Shou's heart rate accelerated quite a bit.
According to the slight information revealed by Principal Shuidao just now, this former professional player was very likely to join the Budongfeng Tennis Club.
This would be another big news!
"Senior Jing Shang, who is the Ji Le Taizao you are talking about?" Zhi Sha Zhi suddenly poked her head out from behind the two and asked curiously.
The name sounded a bit familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.
"A-Zhi, you really need to do your homework," Jingshang Shou said helplessly, lifting the camera strap on his shoulder.
"Ji Le Taizao, he is a former professional tennis player.
He once achieved four consecutive championships in the National Tennis Competition, and later was active on the world stage, achieving excellent results in various world competitions.
He is another powerful professional player who has made a name for himself in the world after the Samurai Yueqian Nanjiro."
Jingshang Shou spoke rapidly, knowing the deeds of Ji Le Taizao like the back of his hand.
"Therefore, he was also highly anticipated by the domestic tennis world.
Unfortunately, I don't know why, but like Yueqian Nanjiro, he chose to retire at his peak and returned to his hometown, Thus line: Saiyu Xian, to serve as the coach of the tennis club at Green Mountain Middle School.
It's just that I didn't expect him to appear in this place, and be so familiar with the principal of Budongfeng."
The corners of Jiecheng Tongren's mouth curved into a slight arc, and he smiled without saying a word.
Shuidao Zhengzhang, likes tennis, joined the school's tennis club during middle school, once served as the director of teaching at Green Mountain Middle School, performed excellently during his tenure, but due to seniority issues, the principal election last year failed.
Ji Le Taizao, world-class professional player, grew up with Shuidao Zhengzhang, and later taught at Green Mountain Middle School together.
These pieces of information flashed rapidly in Jiecheng Tongren's mind.
Ever since that report was issued, he had never been idle.
Through the newspaper's channels, he searched for information on many candidates who might succeed as the principal of Budongfeng, screened them over and over again, and finally found Shuidao Zhengzhang.
Although his seniority was a bit lacking, all other conditions met Jiecheng Tongren's expectations, and because of Ji Le Taizao, he was given extra points.
So he took this list, went to find a senior at Dong University who worked at the Tokyo Education Committee, visited many times, owed a lot of favors, and finally successfully transferred Shuidao Zhengzhang to Budongfeng.
Otherwise, how could the Education Committee transfer someone from Thus line: Saiyu Xian to Tokyo?
Only with Shuidao Zhengzhang present would the Budongfeng Tennis Club receive sufficient help, have the opportunity to come into contact with the world's top players, and Jiecheng Wu's dream path could go further.
"Xiao Wu, just keep running forward!"
For his son's future, Jiecheng Tongren was full of expectations.
"Exclusive title?!"
Zhi Sha Zhi covered her mouth and showed a surprised expression.
"Yueqian Nanjiro is called the Samurai of the Sakura Kingdom, then what about Ji Le Taizao?"
"He is called the Onmyoji..."
Beside the tennis court.
Tezuka covered his head with a towel, sitting on the coach's bench and panting softly, while his left hand became red and swollen due to excessive explosive use, and intense stabbing pain kept coming.
Beside him were a black business card and a white slip of paper.
"Tezuka, that editor-in-chief of Tennis Monthly is right, your arm injury cannot be delayed."
Bu Er held an ice pack in one hand and applied it to the red and swollen surface, while handing the black business card and the promotional flyer of a British orthopedic hospital to Tezuka.
Looking at the hospital information on the flyer, Tezuka's eyes trembled, hesitant and unable to make a choice.
The Kanto Tournament was coming soon, which related to whether Qingxue could make it to the nationals this year; how could he leave at this time?
"I will look after Qingxue; before you return, Qingxue will absolutely qualify for the nationals."
Bu Er opened his eyes, his expression more serious than ever, every word falling with a clang.
"So Tezuka, please go to the UK for treatment with peace of mind!"
Soon, the news that Budongfeng defeated Qingxue and won the Du Da Sai championship spread.
But compared to Budongfeng winning the championship, some people were obviously more concerned about Tezuka Kunimitsu being defeated by Jiecheng Wu.
Shen Na Chuan Xian.
Most students ended their club activities early and walked out of the school gate in the sunset.
Because most county-level competitions for sports had ended, the various clubs at Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School appeared relatively leisurely.
Boom!
Boom!
Only the tennis club kept sending out fierce sounds of hitting the ball and the whistling of rackets.
Swish!
Boom!
A sound of breaking air from a swing rang out, but no trace of the racket could be seen, and the pale yellow ball shadow flashed away, exploding beside Qie Yuan's feet.
"Game, Sanada Genichiro, 6-0!"
Seeing the tennis ball bounce off the court, Liu Lian Er recorded the data of this match in his notebook.
"Defense is weak, add two hundred swings before the end of training!"
Sanada held the racket like a sword, looking sharply at Qie Yuan, who was panting non-stop, and said.
"Yes, Vice-Captain Sanada..."
Qie Yuan bent over, supporting his knees with both hands and panting, sweat falling like raindrops; only after Sanada left did he lie down on the ground happily.
"Haha... ha..."
"To think I couldn't even take a single game; what's wrong with Vice-Captain Sanada? It's simply more terrifying than losing to Captain Xingcun."
Qie Yuan closed his eyes, and in the dark world, the image of Sanada performing Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain constantly flashed.
Anger! Unwillingness! Urgency!
Sanada's expression reappeared in his mind one by one, and Qie Yuan suddenly realized—
This wasn't playing an internal team match at all; it was simply taking it out on him!
"Damn it~"
Qie Yuan held his head with both hands, a painful mask appearing on his face, and he gnashed his teeth and made unclear sounds.
"One day, I will defeat you~"
"Oh my~ squeak~ squeak~"
"Too slack! Run fifty laps before the end of training!"
Suddenly, Sanada's stern voice rang out beside his ear.
"Yes, yes! Sorry! Vice-Captain Sanada, I was wrong!"
Qie Yuan was so scared that he jumped up from the ground and hurriedly lowered his head to apologize.
"That guy Qie Yuan was tricked by Ren Wang again; how many more times will he fall for this~" Marui Bunta put his hands on his hips, showing a helpless expression.
Hearing this, Qie Yuan dared to look up, and a boy with white hair came into view; one could see the corners of his mouth curling slightly, his expression looking very much like a fox that had stolen a chicken leg.
"Senior Ren Wang, you tricked me again!"
Qie Yuan was immediately furious, raising his racket in shame and anger to chase after Ren Wang.
"Puri~" Ren Wang stuck out his tongue playfully, making Qie Yuan even angrier.
But no matter how he chased, he just couldn't touch Ren Wang.
"Little Seaweed, do you want to know what's wrong with Sanada? Catch me and I'll tell you~"
Ren Wang dodged left and right, continuing to use language to stimulate him when Qie Yuan was out of breath.
"Ahhhhh! I must catch you, don't run~"
When Rikkai was staging a farce, the Ice Emperor regulars were heading toward Osaka.
"Atobe, there was an accident at Shitenhoji; I heard the guys from Higa Middle School are coming too."
"Oh? Isn't that even more interesting~"
Received news today that it's going on the shelves next Monday.
Mom~!
Ji Le Taizao was just a passerby in the original work, and the setting is quite gimmicky, so in this book, except for the name, everything else is basically secondary creation.
