Training
Muneyoshi walked around the training ground and indeed found quite a few skilled opponents, which made him even more excited for the upcoming training.
Through Muneyoshi's observations, he also discovered that the U-17 team's training of the newly enrolled first-year high school students was significantly stronger than that of the large number of senior high school students who were about to exceed the age limit.
Compared to those whose potential has long been exhausted, the coaches at the training camp value the future of this group of first-year students who entered at the same time as Byōdōin.
Half an hour later, the Shuffle Match ended.
Ochi Gekko and Mitsuya had already gone to their designated training ground and started their day's training.
Muneyoshi also ended his brief period of leisure and joined the high school students in training.
His court has been confirmed; because of yesterday's events, he has been assigned directly to Court 10.
At court number ten, the high school students, with mischievous grins on their faces, led Muneyoshi to the training sign for today.
Even Muneyoshi was somewhat shocked by the densely packed training schedules plastered on the signs.
Do 200 half-squat jumps for 10 sets, 200 deep squats for 10 sets, 200 half-squat shoulder exercises for 10 sets, and 150 wrist machine exercises for 5 sets.
Two sets of 500 repetitions each for the leg mechanical exercises; 15 sets of 200 sit-ups; and 15 sets of 100 push-ups.
Wrist flexibility exercises for 180 seconds, short-distance sprints for 80 times, and backward running exercises for 100 times.
Perform 150 repetitions of multi-angle gymnastic stretching.
What's next? Neck extensions, knee extensions, long-distance running, wrist curls (overhand grip), wrist curls (underhand grip), squats, supine straight-arm pullovers, push-ups, standing single-leg extensions...
There are a wide variety of training programs, totaling more than fifty.
The training has a time limit; the minimum time limit is six hours, and the elite high school students can complete it in just three hours.
Even after completing the initial training, the amount of training may need to be doubled or even several times over.
Is this the training volume for the U-17s?
I love it!
"Haha, don't give up later, kid!"
Many high school students, seeing Muneyoshi's shocked expression, opened their mouths and burst into laughter.
Muneyoshi ignored their noise, looked at the long list of training programs, and began to compare them with his previous training volume.
The more he compared, the less fear he felt; instead, he became somewhat excited.
Since coming into this world, he has been using the U-17 training camp's training methods to improve his physique.
Because he knew that the U-17 training plan was personally designed by head coach Mifune Nyudo, and was a scientific, efficient, and highly effective training method derived from decades of practice.
He was familiar with these training methods; he just hadn't been training this intensely before.
His body, after years of persistent training and more than two months of intensive improvement in Spain, is now able to withstand this level of training.
Moreover, he not only has to complete the basic training volume, but also eventually reach the level of elite high school students.
Of course, he wouldn't set his goals too high for his first attempt.
He had to finish within the allotted time the first time.
It's meant to broaden their horizons.
At the same time, Muneyoshi also compared the U-17 training program with the scientific training methods he received at a club in Spain some time ago.
Compared to the truly elite training methods there, the training program in Japan is more widespread, without specifically targeting any particular weakness or strength; it's almost a comprehensive training approach.
This training method can be adapted to anyone.
For truly gifted athletes, some training sessions might be a waste of time.
However, for most ordinary athletes, if they can persevere, the results will definitely not be too bad.
Muneyoshi plans to bring this training method to the Fudomine Tennis Club next year for future Regular to use.
After making the decision, Muneyoshi did not delay, nor did he become arrogant because he thought he was great. He followed the regulations of U-17 and began training with the main group.
As the various projects progressed, sweat dripped down like rain.
But his persistence gradually caught the attention of those who cared.
"Hey, who's that short guy?"
"The short guy, you're the new guy from yesterday, right?"
"I heard he single-handedly eliminated everyone in the last three courts yesterday."
"Hiss~ That means we'd have to take them all down. Even though those guys aren't very strong, it would still take amazing stamina to defeat them all."
"So he has amazing stamina. No wonder he could keep up with that group's pace."
Not only the students on other courts, but also the high school students who trained with Muneyoshi were quite shocked to see that Muneyoshi could keep up with their training pace.
It's important to know that the training volume for U-17 is extremely high. Most people would struggle to adapt on the first day, and simply completing the training is considered quite an achievement.
They were able to do it because of the habit formed from long-term, continuous exploitation.
But Muneyoshi is just a newcomer. It's one thing to call him a genius and powerful, but that's another.
Now they can even keep up with their training pace! How can this be acceptable?
Have all those years of training and habits been transferred to the dogs?
The high school students immediately felt immense pressure from Muneyoshi; it was pressure from the King of Scrolls.
Everyone held their breath and began to fight with all their might.
Inside the monitoring room.
"He seems to be in excellent physical condition!"
"Yes, on the first day, he was able to keep up with the training volume and pace of those experienced high school students, and was even better than some of them. His physical fitness is indeed quite good."
When should we schedule Shuffle Match for him?
"Let's do it tomorrow. He should already know that we've given him First String treatment, so he naturally needs to demonstrate the strength that everyone can believe in!"
"If we can't quickly shut everyone up, how can we welcome the return of the First String a month from now?"
"Oh? You want him to challenge the First String as well?!"
Saito Itaru looked at Kurobe Yukio with surprise.
Kurobe Yukio smiled faintly, "I met him yesterday and sensed the power hidden within him. I believe he has the ability."
Before noon, Muneyoshi had completed the last basic training exercise.
His performance shocked many high school students who were looking forward to a good show.
Furthermore, Muneyoshi's strong ability to compete internally disrupted the high school students who could have completed their training, causing them to make a mess of things because their rhythm was disrupted.
Of course, it wasn't easy for Muneyoshi to complete such a massive amount of training for the first time, but he persevered.
The news that he had completed the training load at the same time as the high school students quickly spread throughout the training camp, and all the high school students began to feel nervous.
The once peaceful training camp was disrupted by the arrival of a high school student known for his academic prowess, turning the U-17 pond into a turbulent one.
No one knows when the coaches will schedule Saeki Muneyoshi's Shuffle Match, or who his opponent will be.
But all the high school students held one belief in their hearts: they could not lose to a junior high school student.
After training, Muneyoshi washed up and went to the training camp's canteen.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, these high school students didn't want to sit with Saeki Muneyoshi, seemingly afraid that if the coaches found out, they would be randomly called out for Shuffle Match.
Muneyoshi made no comment on this, and instead felt relieved to have some free time.
Therefore, after getting his food, he felt perfectly justified in occupying a four-person table by himself.
Putting everything else aside, the food on the U-17 was indeed quite good.
