#193 - Teacher, Mifune Nyudo
That!
It's a cliff!
"Where does climbing up here lead to?"
Sanada Genichirou glanced at it and asked Saitou Itaru.
"Perhaps, maybe it's hell."
Saitou Itaru chuckled noncommittally: "Climb up and become the guardian of hell. Maybe you can become stronger and get closer to your goals!"
"I understand!"
Sanada Genichirou nodded and walked towards the cliff without any hesitation. He didn't want to be left behind!
"What about the rest of you?"
Saitou Itaru looked at the others.
Echizen Ryoma looked at the cliff, a hint of determination in his eyes. He didn't say anything but followed.
"Wait for me! Echizen!"
Toyama Kintarou shouted and followed Echizen Ryoma.
Then the others exchanged glances and walked towards the cliff.
Below.
Saitou Itaru watched the crowd move, a faint smile always on his face.
"However, isn't the number of people stipulated by the head coach this many? It feels like more people were eliminated in the second round than in the first?"
Saitou Itaru muttered, then shrugged: "Whatever."
Anyway, these losers are to be dealt with by Mifune Nyudo himself.
On the other side.
"Coach Kurobe, I'll leave the rest to you."
After counting the winners, Yukimura looked at Kurobe Yukio and said.
"Understood."
Kurobe Yukio nodded: "Leave it to me."
"Then I'll go first."
Yukimura also nodded, then walked towards Oni Jujiro and the others.
"Next is the winners' group."
Yukimura said, looking at Oni Jujiro, Irie Kanata, and a few others.
"Yeah. Several people I was optimistic about were eliminated. I was planning to train them properly."
Oni Jujiro said in a deep voice, looking at the winners' group.
"But the losers' group will become stronger when they come back."
Irie Kanata pushed up his glasses and said with a smile.
"Then, seniors, I'll leave first."
Yukimura said to everyone.
"Going to the Cliff of the Heart?"
Oni Jujiro asked.
Yukimura maintained his gentle smile: "Yes, the teacher asked me to go up there after everything is settled. I also need to talk to the teacher."
"Go ahead."
Tanegashima Shuji nodded.
A few hours later.
Cliff of the Heart.
"Grab my hand!"
Sanada Genichirou said in a deep voice, looking at Momoshiro Takeshi.
"Thanks."
Not just Momoshiro Takeshi, almost everyone sat on the ground to rest.
This was climbing, and it was done barehanded, consuming a lot of stamina.
Ten minutes later.
"No one's left."
Yanagi Renji said: "There were thirty-two middle school students in total, and now everyone is up here."
"Where is this?"
Kaido Kaoru wiped his sweat, wearily looking at everything on the cliff.
Not just Kaido Kaoru, but everyone else was doing the same.
Although tired, they sat on the ground, looking around at everything.
Just then!
"Everyone, stand up for me!"
A deep voice sounded from behind them.
Then, everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a swaying figure holding a sake gourd.
Who is this?
Under everyone's gaze.
"Stand up!"
Mifune Nyudo's face was filled with anger: "If you want to stay, stand up for me! All of you standing here are eliminated, what right do you have to sit down?!"
Instantly.
With Mifune Nyudo's words, everyone's expression changed, and they helped each other up.
Under everyone's gaze.
Mifune Nyudo took out a handful of tennis balls.
Immediately, he threw them around, and some of the tennis balls even rolled towards the cliff.
What is this?
The middle school students looked at Mifune Nyudo.
The next moment!
"What are you standing there for! Go pick up the balls now, and start training when you get the balls!"
Mifune Nyudo's voice rang out again. He looked at everyone: "I'll give you twenty minutes to get the tennis balls before they fall off the cliff completely, then come back and start training!"
"Think carefully about why you're standing here, you bunch of failed small fries!"
Accompanied by Mifune Nyudo's angry roar, the faces of all the middle school students changed.
They are failures.
But!
They are not small fries!
Instantly.
All the middle school students began to look for tennis balls.
Behind them, witnessing the figures of the middle school students, Mifune Nyudo frowned.
"What did that brat do?"
At this moment.
Near the Cliff of the Heart.
Yukimura's expression was gentle: "They should all be here by now."
Yukimura had been waiting here earlier.
Yes!
Wait!
Yukimura went to the Cliff of the Heart not long after the middle school students left.
However.
Yukimura's speed was much faster than the middle school students!
"Then let's go up."
Yukimura walked towards the Cliff of the Heart, his coat fluttering in the wind.
Cliff of the Heart.
"Teacher."
Looking at Mifune Nyudo with his back to him, Yukimura spoke.
Da da. Mifune Nyudo turned around and looked at Yukimura somewhat unhappily: "Why are there so many middle school students?"
"Anyway, teacher has nothing to do."
Yukimura's lips curled up slightly: "Besides, these people are all very good."
"Is that so?"
Mifune Nyudo's eyes flickered.
Mifune Nyudo entrusted the matter to Yukimura for only one reason, which was to cultivate Yukimura as his successor.
A true successor!
On the side, Yukimura had a faint smile on his face: "Then I'll leave it to teacher. Next, it's all teacher's business."
"Especially those few brats?"
Mifune Nyudo narrowed his eyes.
"I understand!"
"However, I'll say it first, if these middle school students are eliminated—"
"Teacher, don't worry."
Yukimura said gently: "Teacher, don't you still believe in me?"
"Hmph."
Mifune Nyudo snorted coldly and didn't say anything else.
At this time.
Between Yukimura and Mifune Nyudo's conversation.
Middle school students had already begun to pick up the tennis balls one after another.
And at the front, obviously, were Sanada Genichirou, Echizen Ryoma, Toyama Kintarou, Yanagi Renji, and others!
The moment they saw Yukimura, a hint of surprise appeared in everyone's eyes.
Even Sanada Genichirou was slightly stunned at this moment.
I didn't expect.
They would see Yukimura again in this gathering place for failures!
"Everyone, we meet again."
Under everyone's gaze, Yukimura's purple eyes looked at them and spoke first.
"Captain!"
"Yukimura!"
Everyone shouted in shock.
Yukimura looked at Sanada Genichirou and said: "Didn't you want to catch up to my progress? Then this is a place where you can become stronger."
Become stronger!
Instantly.
Sanada Genichirou and Yukimura looked at each other for a few seconds, and his tone became a little heavier: "I understand."
Soon, Yukimura also looked at the others and said: "The same goes for the others."
Hearing this.
Determination flashed in everyone's eyes!
"We will work hard!"
Most of the people here respected Yukimura and saw him as their goal.
Seeing this, Yukimura nodded with a smile and looked at Mifune Nyudo: "Then, teacher, I'll leave the rest to you."
Mifune Nyudo said faintly: "Understood."
Yukimura didn't answer, but looked at Mifune Nyudo with a gentle smile.
