Chapter 98 Special Mission
In the middle of the night, the sky where stars could still be seen was shrouded by dark clouds. Light rain began to fall in the sky, and the temperature outside also dropped a lot.
In the back mountain, the junior high school students from the elimination group who had been declared a failure by coach Mifune were sleeping in sleeping bags in the cave one by one. As if they felt the lowering temperature, some of their arms were exposed outside the sleeping bags, and the young boy shrank in with his eyes closed. shrink.
At this moment, Coach Mifune's huge figure appeared at the top of the mountain, holding a gong and banging it.
"Dong dong dong..." sounded in the dark cave, and Coach Mifune's hoarse voice also sounded, "Kids... get up quickly... each swing ten thousand times for night training, get up quickly Start training!”
"what……"
"What are you doing at night?"
"Night training...what is it!"
"Ten thousand swings?!"
Hearing the sound of the gong and Coach Mifune's crazy words, the junior high school students who were still a little dazed were suddenly awakened by shock.
Things like "night training" and "swinging the racket ten thousand times" kept repeating in their minds, and then the junior high school students who understood the meaning became dissatisfied and complained, but even if they were dissatisfied, they still had to listen to the coach. Get up and train obediently.
The junior high school students lined up and walked out of the cave with their rackets, and began to practice swinging at the entrance of the cave in the pouring rain.
"Hey! Those guys over there--"
Kirihara Akaya, Shinozu Kenya, Echizen Ryoma, and Tian Hitoshi were about to go out when they were stopped by Coach Mifune. The four of them pointed at themselves, then looked at each other a few times, and then walked over amidst Coach Mifune's impatience.
"I want to give you a very important task!" Mifune looked serious.
"Um..." Kenzu Kenya asked cautiously, "What... are you going to give us?"
Mifune pointed in a direction and said, "The specific mission is inside this! You will understand it when you go in."
After hearing what Coach Mifune said, Kirihara, who was full of confidence, walked in first, followed closely by Echizen Ryoma. Tian Hitoshi looked at Kenya Ninzu who was still there and the two juniors who had left, and quickly followed the juniors. Following their footsteps, Ren Zuqian, who stayed in place, sighed and followed helplessly.
"This cave is deep enough..." Ren Zuqian, who was holding a torch for lighting, complained speechlessly.
Tian Renzhi rubbed his eyes, "Ha-ah, I'm so sleepy, I really want to sleep!"
"Relax, relax! As long as we complete this task, we can sleep!" Akaya Kirihara looked excited. He obviously regarded this task as a real-life adventure game. "Under my leadership, we will definitely complete it soon." It’s a mission, hahahahahaha”
"Wait a minute, there seems to be something over there!" Echizen, who no longer wanted to talk to Kirihara, squinted his eyes and walked forward. Suddenly, he seemed to see something with his peripheral vision, and then shouted.
After hearing what Echizen said, they walked in the direction where Echizen had discovered something. After a while, several of them saw a letter.
What was written in the letter was their mission this time: to go to the training camp to 'steal' 100 brand-new tennis balls used for training in the warehouse, 50 bars of soap, and 10 bottles each of shampoo and conditioner. After that, you need to go to the employee-only bar located in the dormitory area to steal fine wine. Wine is the most important part of this mission.
"So we are asked to go to the training camp to steal things..." Ren Zuqian was also speechless.
"But why should we be chosen..." Tian Renzhi on the side was confused.
"You must have a question in your mind, why should you choose the four of you, right?" Echizen looked at the letter and continued to read the next content.
"What! A prophecy? Why do you know we want to ask this!" Kirihara shouted.
"That's right! Does that coach have any super powers?" Qian was also shocked.
Tian Renzhi's eyes widened even more.
"The reason for choosing you has nothing to do with your personality, athletic ability, or your ability to adapt to emergencies. It's not because your abilities are the most balanced... but because I happen to see the four of you. Just one”
"What!" "Is that all?!" As several people complained, Echizen Ryoma continued to read the other contents of the letter. Simply put, if these people were captured by people from the base during this mission, After all, they need to be responsible for everything afterwards. Coach Mifune will not 'fish' for them.
There is a sentence at the end of the letter: This letter will be automatically destroyed within five seconds.
After hearing this, Echizen quickly threw the letter back on the stone. Kenya and Kiriharaki couldn't help but wonder whether some micro bomb was installed on the letter. Otherwise, how could it be said to be automatically destroyed?
But contrary to what they thought, not long after the letter was thrown on the stone, a swarm of bats flew out from the depths of the cave and tore the letter into pieces.
At this time, Tian Renzhi was also bitten by the bat on the buttocks. Seeing this scene, several people quickly ran outside. But they may have run the wrong way. There was a river outside the place they ran out of.
Several people accidentally fell into the river while crossing the river and were taken to the training camp along the current. The four of them avoided the hound patrolling the perimeter and arrived near the warehouse. Seeing Echizen trying to 'steal' something as mentioned in Coach Mifune's letter, the other three people really expressed doubts and confusion.
"Hey, little dwarf! Are you really going to steal? Isn't this wrong?"
"That's right, why do we have to steal it!"
"It's okay if it's some special training, but this has nothing to do with tennis no matter how you think about it?!"
Hearing the three people's confusion and complaints, Echizen looked back at them, "Then you can't let me tell Coach Mifune that I can't complete this task, right? In this case, I will always feel a little unhappy."
"Yeah, that's right!" Kirihara thought about the way he told that sloppy uncle that he couldn't do it...then he shook his head hard and shouted, "Impossible...this won't work!"
Kenzu Ken was also confused and hesitant, "What you said Echizen is right...but...this is theft! It's not acting!"
"Yes~ If we are discovered, it will be over." Echizen raised the corners of his mouth with a slight smile in his eyes.
Seeing Echizen's appearance, several people couldn't help but look at each other.
