Chapter 385: Isn't it good to take a contract worth hundreds of millions of yen

Teachers' office.

Natsume Chikage arrived here; the afternoon light filtered through the blinds, carving stripes of light and shadow onto the floor.

Just by arriving, he attracted the gaze of many students and teachers present, with whispers sounding as if they were there and yet not.

Xiao Jing Youcai, the home economics teacher, discovered Natsume Chikage a step before Jiu Jing Ziyuan, her eyes brightening slightly.

With a super-fit figure, she stood up and walked slowly toward Natsume Chikage, 'bouncing' with every step, her gait carrying a certain unique rhythm.

"Natsume-kun."

People's gazes are always inevitably drawn to moving objects.

Especially since the teacher was still calling out to Natsume Chikage.

He couldn't help but pause.

'8K!'

But he could only look politely for a moment, then quickly withdrew his gaze.

"Is there something you need, Teacher Xiao Jing?"

Xiao Jing Youcai smiled, the corners of her eyes curving:

"That scene of you playing baseball today was very handsome. Have you practiced baseball for a long time before?"

"No." Natsume Chikage answered briefly.

"Ah? Really not?" Xiao Jing Youcai showed a surprised expression, tilting her head slightly.

Just at this moment.

The baseball club advisor teacher who had been waiting for Natsume Chikage all along—Xiang Yutang, upon seeing Natsume Chikage appear, walked over immediately with steady steps.

Xiang Yutang was about forty or fifty years old, with dark skin and a height not as tall as Natsume Chikage, around 175cm, but he looked very heroic.

Currently, he was the PE teacher for the third-year high school students at the school, and because he was a baseball player himself, he had always concurrently served as the baseball club's advisor, carrying a capable aura unique to athletes.

He said in a deep, resonant voice:

"Natsume-kun, let me see your hands."

Natsume Chikage said, bewildered, slightly hesitant:

"You are..."

Xiao Jing Youcai explained, her speaking speed light and fast:

"He is the PE teacher for the third-year high school students at the school, and also the advisor for the baseball club."

Upon hearing this, Natsume Chikage immediately understood many things, feeling somewhat helpless inside and sighing secretly.

But he did not refuse, extending his hand with the palm facing upward.

After Xiang Yutang looked carefully, he gently squeezed his finger joints and wrists with rough fingers, his expression incomparably complex—there was confusion, bewilderment, but more than that, surprise.

"This is truly strange..." he muttered in a low voice, his brows locked tightly.

Subsequently, he looked at Natsume Chikage solemnly and urged him, his gaze burning:

"Quit that Collection Force, and come to our baseball club in the future!"

Natsume Chikage shook his head immediately, his attitude clear:

"Thank you for your invitation, Teacher, but I don't have much interest in baseball, so please let me refuse."

Xiang Yutang frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, attempting to persuade him:

"In a situation where your practice time is so short, you were able to easily defeat Zhongdao Wushi; anyone can see that you have the talent for playing baseball."

"Since you have this kind of talent, you should come to play baseball instead of wasting it in some unknown Collection Force."

"And I remember, aren't your academic grades also very poor, aren't you a bottom-feeder in the school?"

"It would be better to transfer to be a sports specialty student as soon as possible; that way, your future prospects will definitely be better than just studying." ===== CHAPTER 386 =====
