I am practicing in Tokyo

Chapter 17 One Hundred Years of Solitude

"Don't worry, we brothers will entertain him well."

The two main full-backs of Hirano High School are identical twin brothers, namely Takahashi Nobutsuna with left bangs and Takahashi Shingen with right bangs. Their skills are probably at the mid-to-late LV2 level, only one step behind goalkeeper Seiichiro Yagi.

"We continue our 541 style of play. This is the tactic that can increase the highest winning rate. We must win the right to qualify for the local championship this year."

Jun-sensei Kawakami said firmly that he wanted to prove that football can also be won through mathematics.

——

At the end of May, Fujii came to the school library during his lunch break. There were students in twos and threes reading books, most of which were interesting extracurricular readings, and there were also some writers who were studying hard at internal volume.

In the corner, Azusa Hase was hiding and reading a novel. This time, she changed it to a book called Thousand Cranes by an island country writer. Fujii Shu randomly pulled out a book from the bookshelf, sat on the bench next to her, and opened the title page.

The sound made her look up, then withdrew her gaze and continued reading.

"A friend wrote to me from the East and asked me to visit the amiable and talkative old Mr. Simon Wheeler and find out about my friend's friend Reunida Smiley."

The first page is a humorous style of writing. Without thinking too much, I know that it is a masterpiece by the American writer Mark Twain. I looked at the cover and saw that the title of the book is Million Pounds. It is a reprinted version in 1957. There should not be many in existence.

When class was about to begin, Fujii borrowed this book and followed the slow-moving Hase Azusa all the way back to the classroom.

The students in the classroom were chatting and joking. After seeing these two people coming in one after another, the atmosphere became quite cold. The story of Fujiiki breaking into the women's bathroom and saving Hase Azusa that day has spread throughout the school.

The original very popular Fujii tree got involved with the giant girl Azusa Hase, which suddenly made him no longer popular. During the afternoon training of the school team, no one would bother to watch his performance.

And this is exactly what I want.

Fujii was secretly satisfied that the endless chats and the love letters he collected every day could finally disappear.

Azusa Hase, I am so lucky to have you.

Looking at Hase Azusa who lowered his head and sat back in his seat, the peace he enjoyed was thanks to her.

Not long after he sat down, he noticed a gaze staring at him. He turned around and realized that it was Rin Kamiya, a new classmate who had moved to the seat next to him on his right. He looked at him and looked away before looking away.

Most high schools in the island country have single-row seats. Kamiya Rin's original seat was a bit far away from him. The one who moved out was a male classmate wearing glasses. I don't know what the benefits of taking her were.

10th Anniversary Gundam Unicorn Director Tomino's autographed edition!

The male classmate with glasses glanced at the Gundam assembly model box in his drawer. During lunch, Rin Kamiya offered to change seats. He also said that he had received permission from Miyagi-sensei in exchange for this Gundam model that was almost unavailable on the market.

, of course he agreed, only a fool would refuse.

"Stand up! Hello, teacher."

The monitor, Chika Akiyama, stood up, and the middle-aged, balding math teacher Mr. Nanbu walked into the classroom with textbooks under his arm.

Thirty-five students in the classroom stood up at the same time, bowed and repeated Chika Akiyama's words, and then sat down in unison.

"Today we learn the derivative of a function of one variable and its application. The function y=f(x) is at the point x=..."

Mr. Nanbu recited mathematical formulas like a hypnotic spell. In a blink of an eye, school was over and the school team's training was held as scheduled. Only this time there was a girl with long hair like a girl. She sat down on her knees elegantly and observed their movements.

Training content.

Fujii Shu frowned slightly. This Miss Kamiya Rin seemed to be coming for him, and she didn't look like a mindless nympho. She obviously had an ulterior motive.

Is there anything about yourself that could attract her attention?

He thought carefully and accurately passed the ball to Suhara's feet. This time Suhara did not miss the opportunity and pushed the ball from close range to break the goal guarded by Ryunosuke.

Yay!

Suhara waved excitedly and looked at Fujii who passed the ball to him. Why did this guy look like he was thinking? Can he still pass a high-quality ball like this?

Do the natives of this world have such outrageous IQs? I just improved my football skills a little faster, so I was targeted?

After thinking about it, it seems that this is the only thing that can be doubted. Doesn't it mean that time travelers have a passive intelligence halo? Is there such a special benefit?

He was thinking in a daze, but when the football came, he subconsciously caught it, touched the ball and controlled it at his feet.

"Football: LV3/17%, gain 0.01 free attributes."

Now the improvement rate of football skills has slowed down to about 1.5% a day. It is estimated that he can be promoted to expert level or star level LⅤ4 before the end of local competitions in early July. He has watched a lot of Premier League games during this period.

In competitions, generally for strong teams in the Premier League such as Chelsea, the physical quality of the substitutes is about 1.4 to 1.5 times that of ordinary people, and their skills are at the late stage of LV3.

Most of these players are young players in their mid-twenties. If they can possess his level of strength at the age of seventeen, they are already valued by major powers and can be cultivated as their main players in the future.

"The day after tomorrow is the weekend competition day. We all have a day off tomorrow and don't have to train."

After the training, Coach Shen Jing stopped training for one day on Saturday for the first time. He is the kind of traditional football coach who believes that hard training is the only way to improve the player's level. This is rare.

After all, they are all amateur minors. If they practice another day tomorrow, their physical fitness will not be able to keep up during the competition.

Coach Fukai glanced at the high school players who were lined up. Except for Fujii whose expression was as usual, only Suhara, Nagahama, and Ryunosuke could barely practice for a while. Physical limits are difficult to overcome with willpower.

.

On the sidelines of the training ground, only the classmate Azusa Hase remained who was threatened by him. Miss Rin Kamiya left at some point.

“Is today one hundred years of solitude?”

Fujii noticed the title of the book Azusa Hase was reading. This girl's reading range can be said to be quite broad, from the French stream of consciousness "Reminiscence of Lost Time" to the Latin American writer's allusion to the United States' United Fruit Economy Colonization "One Hundred Years of Solitude".

What a young girl should look like.

"Aureliano, Macondo, it's raining."

He read out a famous line from the book, from the tragic character of the despairing officer Gerinenodo, later executed by his confidant friend Colonel Aureliano Buendía.

"In August, rain is normal."

Hase Azusa responded to his words in a low voice. After getting along for a long time, she was no longer timid and cowardly. This girl's brain waves must be in the direction of literature to connect with her.

"The last game we played against Daifuku High School was an away game. You must come to the home game this time."

Fujiiki extended the invitation, and he imitated the heavy tone of a certain tokusatsu drama protagonist on TV.

"Canggu-san, next, please watch carefully, my transformation!"

"Hi! I understand." Hase Azusa returned to normal and replied weakly.
