Yukinoshita's Correction Method
Finally, because of the feeding of the Dong Yunshan... feeding... feeding... anyway, I gained a little weight, so I persisted in doing cardio to lose weight.
Yukino Yukinoshita's physical strength has been improved to a certain extent.
This gave her the confidence to play half the game.
The score is currently tied at 2-2. If we can win Yumiko Miura's serve and then win our own serve, we can secure the victory before we run out of energy.
I am enough on my own.
so...
Yukino Yukinoshita stared at Dong Yunshan: "What are you doing here?"
"I'm also one of the people in charge of training." Dong Yunshan turned her head. "It was supposed to be me on the field."
"What I mean is, this is a duel I accepted." Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her cherry lips slightly. "I didn't ask you to participate."
"That's why I didn't ask you to quit after I joined." Dong Yunshan walked towards the receiving area. "Even if I were alone, I could play."
As they brushed past each other, Yukino Yukinoshita whispered, "I'm worried about leaving you alone."
"What a coincidence," Dong Yunshan replied softly, "Me too."
The two, each wary of the other, stood in different positions, entrusting the tasks they could handle independently to the other.
After discussing it, Yumiko Miura and Hayama Hayato assigned him the task of serving.
Hayama Hayato jumped to serve, his eyes fixed on the direction of Dong Yunshan.
If it were you, you would understand.
Dong Yunshan swung his racket to return the ball, which flew towards Hayama Hayato.
The tennis ball bounced back and forth under the watchful eyes of the crowd, making a series of thuds.
If I had to describe this duel in one word, it would be... standard.
Standard movements, standard ball trajectory, standard attack, and standard defense.
The standards are almost boring.
Compared to the heated competition among the female students before, what's happening now is more like entertainment between good friends.
It's not about winning or losing, but about trying to fight as many rounds as possible.
It highlights a peaceful and tranquil life.
The first to lose her composure was Yumiko Miura. She seized the opportunity and volleyed the ball at the net, hitting it outside the swing range to the left of Yukino Yukinoshita's body.
"You can only hit from this side." Yukino Yukinoshita stepped out with her left foot as if she had foreseen this, her body spinning lightly like a dancer, her black hair fluttering in the wind, as she caught the ball with her backhand.
Unable to accept the rhythm of the back-and-forth between Dong Yunshan and Hayama Hayato, Yumiko Miura would certainly not hit the ball towards Dong Yunshan.
If the ball is aimed at Yukino Yukinoshita, Yumiko Miura will inevitably choose a backhand direction that is more difficult for Yukino Yukinoshita to handle.
The tennis ball grazed past Yumiko Miura, landing diagonally behind her before bouncing up again.
As Yumiko Miura turned her head, she saw Hayama Hayato swing his racket to counterattack.
The tennis ball flew over the net, heading towards the direction where the Dong Yunshan was located.
Just as Yukino Yukinoshita predicted.
Bang!
Yukino Yukinoshita scored a point with a spike.
1:
Yukino Yukinoshita gave Dong Yunshan a warning glare and returned to her original position.
That's what she's worried about.
Dong Yunshan would turn a match that should have a winner into a performance of compromise.
We've been discovered.
Dong Yunshan shrugged at Hayama Hayato across from him and jumped to serve.
Bang!
Once you join the competition, you'll naturally be able to control its pace.
If the two players cooperate well, they can play a game until the end of lunch break.
When the school bell rings, everyone must stop, regardless of whether a winner or loser has been determined.
The two boys reached a tacit understanding.
The two girls disagreed.
Unlike the friendly and harmonious atmosphere among the boys, the girls played with exceptional intensity at the net.
Ultimately, Yukino Yukinoshita made a mistake, her shot failing to clear the net, resulting in a point being lost.
1:
"Hmm?" Yumiko Miura glanced at the tennis ball that had fallen to the ground. "It seems... you're not quite strong enough."
Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly, moved her wrists a couple of times, and vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
That last shot should have been able to get past us.
But why...?
Is it because of some problem with your recent exercise?
I'll ask Dong Yunshan later.
Thinking this, Yukino Yukinoshita turned around and glanced at Dong Yunshan.
Dong Yunshan gave Hayama Hayato an apologetic look, and then...
Bang!
Upon seeing the tennis ball nestled in the gaps of the barbed wire, the crowd fell silent for a moment, then erupted in a huge cheer.
2:
So fast... Hayama Hayato belatedly looked back and couldn't help but smile wryly.
Don't take your anger out on me...
Turning his gaze back to the Dong Yunshan, Hayama Hayato felt a chill run down his spine.
He knew that Dong Yunshan hadn't used her full strength, but he hadn't expected her to be this powerful.
Before he could react, the tennis ball had already bounced off the ground and embedded itself in the wire mesh.
When it was Yumiko Miura's turn to serve, Yukino Yukinoshita swung her racket to receive the ball, then watched Yumiko Miura's swing to determine the best position to return the ball and accelerated to get closer.
That must have been an accident, as long as...
The ground suddenly became soft, Yukino Yukinoshita stumbled and fell forward.
Have you exhausted your stamina?
As the tennis ball hurtled towards her, Yukino Yukinoshita had no strength left to swing her racket.
Oh no... Yukino Yukinoshita closed her eyes.
In the darkness, the sound of the approaching tennis ball became even clearer.
Snap!
The sound of the tennis ball hitting my body came, but there was no corresponding pain.
That's what I'm worried about.
Volume 5, May Holiday: Chapter 171, Exchanging Rackets
There are two problems that need to be solved.
The first is the tennis ball hit towards Yukino Yukinoshita, and the second is Yukino Yukinoshita falling down.
Dong Yunshan Yukino Yukinoshita while still managing to retaliate.
But after the opponent returned the ball, Dong Yunshan, who was supporting Yukino Yukinoshita, was unable to catch it.
Therefore, there's no need to waste any more effort retaliating.
Dong Yunshan met Yukino Yukinoshita's falling body with her racket, slowing her down in the direction she was falling and supporting her upper body to prevent her from falling to the ground.
With his other hand raised, he precisely caught the rapidly approaching tennis ball.
Snap!
2:
"Ohhhhhhhhh!!!"
The crowd erupted in cheers; losing this point was even more spectacular than winning it.
When everyone realized the emergency and worried that Yukino Yukinoshita might get hurt, Dong Yunshan had already completed the rescue.
Before onlookers could even warn him, Dong Yunshan, who was in the middle of the game, was able to easily defuse the crisis.
This terrifying reaction capability is truly astounding.
Many people are quite dissatisfied with this guy who suddenly joined the battle of beautiful girls.
Who is this guy? Why does he seem to know the Ice Queen so well? He actually dares to fight Hayama Hayato? What an eyesore...
All doubts and aversion vanished at this moment, transforming into a deafening roar.
Seeing Higashiun Dong Yunshan supporting Yukino Yukinoshita's body with her racket, Yui Yuigahama finally breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great..."
She had just experienced the pressure of a tennis ball flying towards her up close, and when she saw Yukino Yukinoshita about to be hit, she even forgot to breathe.
"I didn't even see how he got there..." Komachi Hikigaya murmured. "Speaking of which, wouldn't it have been cooler to just hug Yukino and take the ball for her?"
"It's best to avoid getting hurt if possible." Although Yui Yuigahama also hoped they would hug, "By the way, what happened to Little Yukino just now?"
"That's what I'm worried about." Ignoring the cheers of the crowd, Dong Yunshan gently applied pressure with his racket to help Yukino Yukinoshita stand up. "It's easy to misjudge your physical limits during the beginner's bonus period."
The "beginner's bonus period" refers to a special phase in fitness training where beginners experience a much faster rate of progress than in the later stages.
Due to the body's sensitive response to training stimuli, beginners at this stage can often achieve faster muscle growth, strength improvement, and physical fitness enhancement with lower training intensity.
Just as Yukino Yukinoshita felt.
However, most of this progress comes from adaptations in the nervous system, such as improved muscle recruitment efficiency and enhanced motor coordination, rather than genuine improvements.
The truth is, the body is able to better utilize its original strength, and the strength has even improved slightly.
However, many people overlook the former, believing that it is simply a matter of their own abilities having greatly improved.
In addition, the slight changes in dopamine secretion and strength brought about by the initial training can easily create the illusion that one can easily handle higher intensity levels.
The end result was that Yukino Yukinoshita displayed excessive self-confidence.
In addition, during training, one becomes familiar with the feeling of fatigue and focuses more attention on the competition, inevitably ignoring the body's fatigue signals.
This is one of the reasons why many people who haven't exercised for a long time get injured after only a few days of exercise.
Before she started training, Yukino Yukinoshita had a clear understanding of her physical abilities and knew her limits.
However, after starting to train, the illusion of being a beginner led Yukino Yukinoshita to misjudge her physical strength, and by the time she realized it, she had already begun to fall forward.
Dong Yunshan knew that Yukino Yukinoshita was physically weak, but she didn't know exactly how weak she was.
Dong Yunshan knew that Yukino Yukinoshita's physical strength had improved after training, but she didn't know how much it had improved.
so...
Yukino Yukinoshita was slow to realize that the first ball from Dong Yunshan wasn't an exhibition match, but rather an attempt to give her more time to recover her strength.
I looked at Dong Yunshan's hands; there were no obvious signs of injury.
Then I looked at Dong Yunshan's profile; there was no obvious sign of pain.
Yukino Yukinoshita felt a little relieved and tried to stand on her own.
The reason I played so aggressively before was partly because I was spiteful towards Dong Yunshan.
You want to play an exhibition match? I'll make sure you don't.
Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, the anger has subsided.
