"Then you have to walk the rest of the way by yourself!"

"Bye~"

Watching Saito drive away, Souji Hatada always felt as if he had made a wrong choice.

He turned around and looked at the dense forest around him, then at the only path in front of him and the sky that was about to get dark.

Recalling Saito's ambiguous smile when he heard himself saying, "You can send me there at dawn," Souji Hatada sighed softly.

"Although I know this road is not easy to walk, at least give me two more hamburgers."

Bantian Souji did not expect that the other party would be so resolute. After making his choice, he immediately brought himself to this place, euphemistically saying it was for his own good.

"The one who will train you next has a bad temper. You'd better arrive at your destination before dawn, otherwise..."

Saito Zhi didn't know whether it was a reminder or a gloating statement that sounded in Souji Hatada's mind.

He shook his head helplessly and tightened the tennis bag on his back.

As I walked along the path, I sighed in my heart.

Compared with this, the amount of training I left for the Yamabuki members was really too easy.

"Sure enough, I'm still too soft-hearted. Speaking of which, there shouldn't be any wild beasts here at night."

...

The night was falling, the moon and stars were sparse, so don't expect the brightness in the forest to be high. At this time, Souji Hatada also put on a head-mounted flashlight and walked through the forest, holding a simple map in his hand.

For the first time, Hata Souji discovered that the forest at night would not be too quiet. There would be some unknown movements. This kind of movement would not give Hata Souji any sense of security. Compared with the light above his head, there was nothing.

Temperature flashlight, Hatada Souji actually wishes he could hold a torch.

However, as a minor, he didn't have matches or lighters on his person. Originally, he asked Saito for one, but he smiled and said, "I don't smoke."

...

"Crash."

Looking at the cold stream in front of him and the bright white stones reflecting the cold light in the moonlight, Souji Hatada knelt down and tightened his shoelaces. He didn't want to see such slippery stones.

Braving the cold air in the forest at night, I took a midsummer "winter swim".

"Then, rush!"

After giving himself a pep talk, Souji Hata sprinted, made a few nimble leaps, and lightly touched the rocks exposed in the stream. Some of the stones were still shallowly submerged by the stream. When Souji Hata stepped on them, they would still

There was water splashing.

Under the light of the moon, which is as bright as a disk in the sky, it looks earthy and cheerful.

In the end, his shoes were only slightly wet, and Souji Hata passed the stream without any danger.

To be honest, his current state is quite uncomfortable.

He had gone through a tough competition and finally exceeded his limit. After just two burgers, he was thrown into the forest and began to trek through mountains and rivers.

The clothes on his body were firmly stuck to his body with sweat, but the temperature in the forest was quite cold at night. The outside was cold and the inside was hot, causing Goosebumps to appear on Souji Hata's body.

The sticky taste should not be too bad.

Moreover, there should not be too many mosquitoes at night. With such a bright light source above the head, many mosquitoes will always attack Bantian Souji by surprise, including but not limited to moths and mosquitoes.

There are also various insects that cannot be named, so even Souji Hata's character can't help but become slightly irritable.

Very annoying.

After once again shaking off the big moths on the map, Soji Hata braced himself from exhaustion, looked at the map, and then looked at the mountains in front of him, and determined one thing.

Saito Zhi said that the coach assigned to him is on this mountain.

So now you need to be able to climb mountains to play tennis?

The mountain in front of you is not the kind with steps in the so-called tourist attractions, but a completely natural mountain without any artificial processing.

Looking up, even Souji Hata felt a little scared at this moment.

In my mind, I subconsciously recalled Saito Chi’s smiling words at that time.

"I'm going to die~"

Is it really okay to not provide some safety measures at this height?

Although he felt sad, Souji Hatada took two deep breaths, tightened the strap of his tennis bag again to ensure that it would not become an obstacle to his climb, and then started his mountain climbing journey!

The higher the mountain, the less hastily you need to climb.

Mr. Bantian always remembers to look twice and not look once.

Be optimistic about the next climbing point, be optimistic about the safe and reasonable route forward, and never look down.

"Hoo, ho, ho."

Hata Souji kept adjusting his breathing, and his whole body was tense. The loose stones on his hands and feet did not give him a little sense of security, and the worse feeling was crawling behind him. He even began to feel that his

My strength seems to be running out.

A sense of urgency was always sounding the alarm in Soji Hata's heart, preventing him from relaxing even a little bit.

Finally, when the first ray of sunlight illuminated the forest, Soji Hata finally saw the end of the mountain top before his eyes.

About to arrive!

It's like a person falling into the water sees a lifebuoy.

Hatada Souji squeezed out the last bit of physical strength in his body and climbed towards the finish line with all his strength.

Ten meters, nine meters, eight meters...

He was constantly calculating the distance to the finish line in his mind. Sweat had already flowed from his forehead down Souji Hatada's neck. His hair was stuck tightly to his forehead. His eyes were soaked with sweat and had to be closed tightly. At the same time, they were still slightly tilted.

head to avoid damaging the other eye.

The last few meters of the cliff were almost 90 degrees, so there was no room for Soji Mata to make any mistakes.

Five meters, four meters, three meters, two meters, one meter!!!

"Snapped!"

One hand suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain, and then the five fingers tightened, and the other hand firmly grasped the edge. It seemed that the slogan "one, two, three" could still be vaguely heard. When the count reached three,

, a panting, slightly embarrassed, and tired-looking figure suddenly jumped up from the edge of the cliff, pushed his whole body forward, and most of his body was immediately lying on the edge of the cliff, and then relied on his body

As soon as the inertia rolled over, the whole person was lying on the edge of the cliff.

"Ha~ha~ha~"

Hata Souji was panting desperately, feeling that every cell in his body was groaning.

His throat felt like it was on fire, and he let out a low roar, urgently needing water to moisten him.

As for the protesting stomach, that was no longer something Souji Hata could take care of.

At this time, a rough and impatient voice sounded.

"Hey! How long are you going to lie there half-dead!"

Anyone?

Hatada Souji tilted his head slightly, and met a pair of very... brutal and unkind eyes, looking straight at him.

The other person was lying on his side on a wooden stake, which was probably an old tree that was at least several decades old. Otherwise, the bear-like body of the man in front of him would probably not be able to lie down even if he was curled up.

Souji Hata had a hunch that if the person in front of him was his coach, he would probably not be too happy getting along with him.

There is no way, the slovenly beard and hair, even the hair exposed by the open shirt on the chest, and the short shorts that are too short and have rotten edges, a big dark foot is stepping on a furry bare foot.

On the legs, there are two equally hairy arms, one is supporting his head, and the other is controlling the thick fingers, walking between the toes quite flexibly...

The most important thing is that when he noticed Souji Hatada's gaze, he put his hand into his nostril and dug it as if no one else was there, and then flicked it indifferently.

At that moment, Soji Hata felt as if he was lying on a landmine.

"bass!"

Seeing Soji Hata standing up neatly, the savage didn't care and looked at Souji Hata with a slightly unkind look.

"Are you the kid who made those guys beg me to work overtime?"

Hata Souji swore that he really wanted to say no to the foot-picking man in front of him, but...

"Perhaps we can get to know each other while having breakfast?"

"Breakfast? Familiar?"

After hearing Soji Hata's words, the strong man showed a malicious smile.

"OK."

Souji Hata felt happy, and then he heard the strong man's next words indifferently.
Chapter completed!
