On a certain day in July,
The Youth Qualifiers began.
The players from various famous tennis schools in Kanto were gathered there.
Rukawa Sakura stood at the door with her luggage. She wiped the small amount of sweat on her forehead.
Her body was cold.
Therefore, she was not afraid of the heat, but she was more afraid of the cold.
After the art exhibition, Ise Aokawa brought her to Shikoku.
Therefore, she, who had promised Sanada that she would volunteer at the tournament, arrived a little late.
Thankfully, she arrived on the day of the training, even though it was already evening.
"Shinichiro, I'm here.
Can you come out and fetch me? "Rukawa Sakura stood at the door with her luggage by her feet.
She called Sanada.
The art exhibition was a success.
But she was tired.
Her seniors had to travel all over the country.
But she only went to Shikoku once. In comparison, it was much easier. However, she really could not do anything about those masters!
Her sensei's friends' tormented her every day, causing her to be late for two to three days. Thankfully, she made it in time.
Sanada helped Rukawa Sakura with her luggage. She walked beside Rukawa Sakura and explained the groups.
Ryūzaki Group: Echizen, Dashi, Phoenix,? |
Ben, Shen Wei, Kikumaru, Qieyuan, Minho, Chian Shi, Taocheng.
Kamikaze Group: Qian, Haitang, Kawamura, Zuobo, Sanada, Bu Er, Zhou Zhu, Bu Er, Yuta, Kanemoto, Ryu, Nin Of Gojoseon.
Hanamura Group: Atobe, Tengen, Itsuki, Shinobu, Takashi, Kanemoto, Kanemoto, Yanagi.
Rukawa Sakura memorized them all.
But she still took out her small notebook to record them.
"This is a bit troublesome.
Our people are so scattered.
All three groups have them. "Rukawa Sakura frowned.
She didn't want to care about the others and only wanted to take care of Tachikaidai.
If Qing Xue and the Ice Empress needed her help, she might lend them a hand, but she didn't care about the others at all.
However, the only place where she could be of use was to help record the training data and cook in the kitchen.
"You don't have to worry about Liu Sheng. No matter what happens, he always knows his limits. Even if he's alone, he can handle it well.
There are no problems on our side either.
Mainly Qieyuan.
Keep an eye on him. If we train separately, it's hard to control him. Don't let him cause trouble. "
"I understand.
Since I'm already here, I should at least help. "
"Are you hungry?
Let's go eat first.
We just started eating. Let me take you to the cafeteria first. No matter what, you should get to know everyone. "
Rukawa Sakura nodded. "Okay, I'm hungry too.
I didn't eat anything on the bus. "
"Rest early today. Starting tomorrow, the coach will probably assign you some tasks."
"Qieyuan!
I dare you to say that again! "Shen Wei charged at Qieyuan.
Qieyuan kicked him away, and the two of them started to wrestle.
"Hey!
Stop it! "
"What are you two doing!"
In the Long Qi Gumi cafeteria, everyone reacted and immediately separated the two of them.
"Hey, hey — what's going on?" Rukawa Sakura saw the discordant scene the moment she entered the cafeteria and frowned.
"Rukawa?" Qing Xue and the others reacted.
"Rukawa -senpai, why are you here?" Taocheng asked.
"Shinichiro invited me to volunteer." Rukawa Sakura explained casually.
"Chiya."
"Sakura-senpai …"
"Alright, let's go." Rukawa Sakura looked at Qieyuan.
"Yes …"
Rukawa Sakura nodded at everyone and led Qieyuan away.
"Senpai … why are you here?"
"Didn't I say?
I'm here to volunteer. "
Rukawa Sakura's hand went to Qieyuan's head and rubbed it hard. "I just got here and you're already causing trouble. Really …"
"Tch!
That guy … "
"Alright, you're the only one in the Long Qi Gumi. You have to take good care of yourself.
Since you asked to come, you have to show some results.
The people there don't really like you. You know that. Keep it in check.
Even if you're fine, we'll be worried.
Try not to quarrel. "
"I know …"
"Your focus should be on training. Don't worry about anything else." Rukawa Sakura patted Qieyuan on the shoulder. "Let's go. You didn't eat well just now right?
I'll bring you to Tachikaidai's cafeteria.
We'll eat together in the future.
If there's anything you want to eat, tell me. Starting tomorrow, I'll take care of Tachikaidai's meals. "
"Senpai Sakura!" Qieyuan's eyes glowed. "That's great!"
Each of the three groups at the training base had their own small cafeteria. The food was cooked together, but everyone ate separately.
Of course, there were exceptions like Atobe. No matter where the young master went, he was the most glamorous because he had his own servants with him.
Therefore, Hyotei's group of five ate together, and it was a feast prepared by Atobe's chef.
After Rukawa Sakura's arrival, Tachikaidai's group of five escaped from the fate of eating together.
They had a deep understanding of Rukawa Sakura's culinary skills, so they immediately abandoned the cafeteria and ran toward the embrace of Tachikaidai's cafeteria!
Other than Tachikaidai and Hyotei, the others did not have such a good fate. They could only Guigai to the cafeteria.
For them who had not tasted good food before, it did not matter that much.
Only people like Hyotei, who was used to glamour, and Tachikaidai, who had been spoiled by Rukawa Sakura, found it hard to get used to it.
However, Hyotei had Atobe, and Tachikaidai had Rukawa Sakura, so it was not a problem.
After dinner, Rukawa Sakura returned to her room.
This time, there were seven volunteers. Including her, there were eight. There were four boys and four girls, and two people shared a room. Therefore, she was assigned to share a room with Apricot from Motionless Peak.
She arrived late, so after putting down her luggage, she went to join the Tachikaidai's group for dinner. After dinner, she went to report to the three coaches, so she did not have the chance to greet Apricot, who shared the same room.
However, Apricot was not in his room.
Rukawa Sakura did not mind it and opened her luggage to pack.
"Bang —" The sound of the door opening and closing was very fast.
Apricot leaned against the door and gasped for air.
Rukawa Sakura raised her head to look at her.
It was then that Apricot realized that there was someone else in the room.
"You …"
"Hello."
Rukawa Sakura stood up. "I am Rukawa Sakura from Tachikaidai. I arrived late today, so I will be sharing a room with you. Nice to meet you."
"He … Hello … I … I am … Apricot …"
Rukawa Sakura studied her intensely, and it made Apricot's hair stand on end.
Finally, Rukawa Sakura nodded. "I still need to pack my luggage.
Do you want to take a shower first? "
"Ah … Ah … Okay …" Apricot ran into the bathroom in a hurry.
Rukawa Sakura's hand that was packing stopped.
She remembered … during the youth trials … Apricot had pushed Qieyuan down the stairs.
Rukawa Sakura opened the wardrobe and put her clothes inside.
Akaya … He also needed to grow up.
She knew that Qieyuan was not a bad person, but he was arrogant and always had a sharp tongue in front of outsiders.
But in her eyes, Qieyuan had always been cute.
He was pure by nature, but he did not know how to "admit defeat" and did not know how to build good relationships with others.
Even if he felt that he was wrong and wanted to apologize, he could not bring himself to do so.
She would use this opportunity to let him deal with this matter himself.
Through this matter, the people of the Ryuqi Gumi would probably be able to build a good relationship with him.
This was something that Qieyuan had to face himself. He had to learn how to get along with others.
But — this did not mean that she did not mind at all.
Apricot — in the end, she still could not like him!
To use such a method to hurt her Small Laminaria …
Forget it.
She and Ju Xing had only been roommates for a short period of time.
The next morning, in the Ryuqi Gumi.
"Shen Wei!
Where are you going? "Dashi shouted.
"I am going to investigate if there is a real culprit!"
"We are still in the middle of practice and cannot act on our own.
"With my current mood, I cannot focus on practice!"
"Who said that he could not focus on practice?" Rukawa Sakura stood at the side of the training ground and asked everyone with a smile.
"Rukawa?!"
"Hello everyone.
Some of you here know me, and some of you may not know me. Let me introduce myself. I am Rukawa Sakura from Tachikaidai, one of the volunteers this time.
Coach Ryuqi should have told you, right?
She had something to do and had to leave for a while, so she asked me to supervise everyone's free practice. "
Rukawa Sakura smiled. "Then — who was the one who said that he could not focus on practice?
Does he need me to help him 'be able' to focus on practice? "
All the hairs on Shen Wei's body stood on end.
Qing Xue, Hyotei, and the only Small Laminaria from Tachikaidai instantly broke out in cold sweat.
There was no need for that — Rukawa/Rukawa Senpai/Senpai Sakura Senpai!
Qing Xue said that they did not want to be punished by Tezuka to run laps around Tokyo; Hyotei said that Rukawa Sakura was under Atobe's protection, and they did not want to be talked to by Sir System; Small Laminaria said that he seemed to have seen Mr. Yukimura!
"Senpai Dashi, we have the balls." Sakurano Tatsuzaki and Apricot walked over with two baskets of balls.
"Did something happen?" Apricot asked Shen Wei.
"Nothing!" Shen Wei denied immediately.
"Ah, it's nothing serious." Dashi scratched the back of his head with a smile.
Sakurano Tatsuzaki saw Qieyuan on the court and was shocked. "What happened to Qieyuan?
The wound on his face … "
"He just fell down by accident." Qieyuan continued his preparation.
"Ignore that kind of person," Shen Wei said with disgust.
Rukawa Sakura narrowed her eyes. "What's wrong with that kind of person?
Shen Wei kun, don't say that I'm biased, but you'd better get back to your training, or else — "
Shen Wei was shocked by her expression and took a step back.
Dashi said awkwardly, "Rukawa …"
Rukawa Sakura knocked on the folder in her arms. "Everyone, you'd better not give me the chance to snitch."
"Tsk … who knows if you'll side with Qieyuan or not."
"Then, Shen Wei kun, do you want to give it a try?" Rukawa Sakura looked at Shen Wei. "Actually, I don't mind.
To be honest, I admire you for daring to do this. "
Rukawa Sakura glanced at everyone. "Because my job is different from everyone else — I'm responsible for supervising everyone's training and recording their training data.
If I overrule you during normal training — then, Shen Wei kun, you can pack your bags and go home. You won't have anything to do with the Youth Selection Tournament anymore. "
Everyone raised their heads to look at Rukawa Sakura.
Then, he cast a "you're so fearless" gaze at Godly Tail, who was "testing the law with her own body."
"Hey, that's not fair —" Apricot immediately retorted when he saw Shen Wei being treated this way.
"No, I'm very fair." Rukawa Sakura glanced at Apricot. "At least when it comes to training, I'm very fair.
As long as I don't catch you doing anything against the rules, I'm always very fair.
Please don't doubt that. "
"Of course, if you have any objections, you can privately find the three coaches to overrule me.
But to be honest, you all have to train, and there's only one coach in each group. None of the volunteers have the ability to record training data as accurately as I do — I'm probably the only one qualified for this position.
You can try to leave me alone. I'm more than happy to just pick up the balls and take care of Tachikaidai's three meals every day. "
Everyone was silent.
Tachikaidai's Rukawa Sakura?
It was really sharp!
Most of them looked at Qieyuan.
Qieyuan's Small Laminaria was slow, but he clearly received everyone's brainwaves.
"Um, Sakura-senpai …" Qieyuan "fearlessly" stood up.
"Everyone, let's start training." Rukawa Sakura lowered her eyes and said.
"Ah, Tachibana, let's hurry up and take the balls to the Hanamura group," Sakurano Tatsuzaki said.
"Yes.
Then, Shen Wei, good luck. "Apricot said," By the way, Taocheng as well. "
"You don't have to say by the way, right?"
Dashi said, "Then, until Sensei comes back, everyone can practice on their own."
The atmosphere was no longer tense.
— Rukawa/Rukawa senpai/Sakura-senpai — this girl — her aura is so strong!
This was what everyone was thinking.
