Chapter 30: Training is impossible, and staying up late to study is also impossible

In less than a month, Takahashi's technique points increased from 4 to 5.5.

An increase of a full 1.5.

This shocked Takahashi!

One must know, he had been very troubled by this before, because his technique points were very weak.

Among all his attribute points, even if not ranked at the very bottom, they definitely could not be considered strong!

Yet now, looking at the numerical value, it is ahead of all the others.

How could this not make Takahashi ecstatic?

He turned his thoughts to the things that had happened recently.

He watched many matches and saw many unique moves from other people.

In his mind, he had some insights into the principles of these unique moves.

And he successfully formed his own unique move.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that his technique improved so quickly.

There was also Spirit Power.

As the previous bottom-ranked stat.

Now it had also started to exert force.

Although it could not change the fact that it was still at the bottom.

It had increased by a full 1 point.

While speed and power had only increased by 0.25.

Compared like this, the growth rate of Takahashi's Spirit Power could be called terrifying!

It must be because he watched more matches and thought more, that it improved!

He had originally gone to Tokyo to watch the fun.

Unexpectedly, by a stroke of luck, he found a way to improve himself.

Takahashi could not help but laugh.

He had originally made a one-month agreement with Sanada.

It was to avoid this month of high-intensity training.

He used the excuse that he had a more suitable practice method.

Yet he did not expect.

A blind cat bumping into a dead mouse.

It really did make him improve.

It actually really made him find a practice method suitable for him.

He, Takahashi, had truly made a self-fulfilling prophecy!

Now, facing the upcoming match with Sanada.

Takahashi was also full of confidence.

Originally, he had not thought that he would win the match against Sanada.

After all, that was the Vice Captain of Rikkai, and also the "Emperor" of the Rikkaidai Tennis Club.

If he lost, he lost!

Losing this month did not mean he would lose next month.

But he had legitimately escaped this month's training.

Life, enjoy it first.

No one knows which will come first, tomorrow or an accident!

But this month, Takahashi had truly enjoyed himself and lived a comfortable life.

He had originally been a bit troubled that if he lost, the following period of time would not be too easy.

Although Takahashi had confidence that in the near future, he would definitely be able to surpass Sanada.

Because of the existence of the Idle Character.

No matter how arduous or strict Rikkai's training was, it could not compare to the Idle Character.

The Idle Character was truly grinding tennis with his life.

A top student—no, a study god—would have to call him "daddy" if they saw him!

But before the next victory, Takahashi might have to train seriously for a period of time.

To live a bitter life for a while.

Originally, Takahashi had already prepared himself mentally.

Thinking that he had spent this month very happily, it was not a loss.

But.

Looking at the system today.

Why would he live a bitter life in the future!

It was all happy, wonderful times!

A happy and fulfilling life was beckoning to him.

Wanting him to train obediently!

Not a chance!

Ha! Ha! Ha!

The next morning.

Rikkai Dai Fuzoku Chugaku.

8:15.

Kimura Kojiro walked into the classroom carrying a heavy schoolbag, yawning, rubbing his eyes that had not yet woken up, and taking heavy steps.

He habitually glanced at his seat.

It was empty.

Huh?

There was actually someone in the seat behind him!

He rubbed his eyes again.

To ensure he wasn't seeing things from staying up late to study.

He widened his eyes.

He looked closely.

There was indeed someone.

And it was none other than the "time management master" Takahashi Yanichi, who arrived right on the dot every day.

He adhered to the principle of never wasting a single minute or second.

He never arrived a minute early, and never stayed a second longer after school ended in the afternoon.

Kimura looked at the clock hanging at the back of the classroom, then looked at Takahashi.

"I'm not seeing things, am I!"

"Takahashi, you actually arrived 15 minutes early today."

"15 minutes!"

Kimura shouted in near astonishment.

Takahashi calmly lifted his eyelids and said, "Stay calm when encountering things; don't be so jumpy!"

Like a cannon fodder!

Takahashi added the last sentence in his heart.

"Did you not finish your homework? Are you here to make it up!"

"No, you almost never turn in homework!"

Takahashi's words had no effect; Kimura didn't even bother to put down his schoolbag, walking back and forth around Takahashi's seat, muttering incessantly.

Takahashi was seen holding a clean English textbook in his hand.

He was slowly flipping through it from front to back.

The English book was spotless, without a single mark, as if it were brand new.

"You're actually reading an English book!"

Kimura was as shocked as if he had discovered a new continent.

Early in the morning, Takahashi hadn't shaken off his sleepiness yet, and Kimura was being noisy beside him, which gave him a massive headache.

He rubbed his forehead and said indifferently, "Reviewing!"

"Isn't the midterm exam today?"

Last night, when Takahashi was happy about his future life.

He received a phone call.

It turned out to be his parents, who were far away abroad.

After hearing about his glorious deeds, they called to issue an ultimatum.

"You don't have to do homework, and you can be late or leave early for school, but your grades cannot be failing."

"No one in our family has ever failed a course; I hope you don't refresh the family record, as I cannot afford to lose face like that."

That was what his mother said on the phone.

How should he put it?

As expected of someone working abroad, her thinking was very open-minded.

But if she was open-minded, why did she have requirements for his grades?

And so, Takahashi could only dig out his nearly brand-new textbooks.

To stay up late studying.

In his dreams!

Staying up late—that was impossible!

Never possible!

And staying up late to study at that!

How much hatred and resentment would one have to have for oneself to do that!

At most, he would come to school early to review his lessons!

Fortunately, the subjects for the midterm exam were not concentrated on one day, but one subject per day.

This gave Takahashi enough time to review.

"Your book is cleaner than my face; reviewing? I think it's previewing!"

After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Kimura was very excited.

"If you don't work hard usually, hugging the Buddha's feet at the last minute before the exam is completely useless!"

"Effort must be spent on a daily basis!"

"Just like me..."

Takahashi could bear it no longer; he raised his head and glared fiercely at Kimura.

Kimura instantly lost his nerve.

"I'll go do the cleaning duty, sweep up."

After saying this, he ran off in a flash.

Mathematics and English were easy enough to handle.

The mathematics of the Dragon Kingdom is famously difficult, after all.

It is among the hardest in the entire world.

He flipped through the math textbook.

He worked hard to retrieve the knowledge he had once learned from the depths of his memory.

He looked at a few example problems, picked up a pen, and started writing and calculating on scratch paper.

Hmm, thanks to his former math teacher.

He knew how to solve all of these problems.

English was also very easy!

Back in the day, he was someone who had passed the College English Test Band 6!

He had memorized an entire vocabulary book.

That book was as thick as a brick.

But back then, he could recite it so fluently.

Which page the words starting with A began on, which page the words starting with B began on...

He could remember them all perfectly.

Now, looking at the English textbook from Japan.

It felt incredibly simple-minded.

It was just like a university student looking at an elementary schooler's problems.

The only things he felt had a bit of difficulty were history and national literature!

He never expected that one day, he would actually have to memorize the history of the little Japanese!

Sigh, fate plays tricks on people!

But how many years of history does the little Japanese nation even have in total?

He was someone who could even recite the five thousand years of history of the Dragon Kingdom.

Compared to that, what did this little bit even amount to!
