Chapter 011 Volleyball Club
When Toru Matsuzaki arrived at the activity room, he found the atmosphere in the room a little weird.
"What's wrong?" He looked at Anda Shizuku and asked, "Why do you look so grim even when you're eating snacks?"
Anda Shizuku rolled her eyes: "You said that as if I only know how to eat."
Matsuzaki Tetsu laughed and said, "Isn't it?"
Anda Shizuku stared at him fiercely and said through gritted teeth, "You little bastard, I'm your senior after all! Can you please respect me a little?"
Matsuzaki Tetsu looked at him with wide eyes and said innocently, "How did I disrespect you?" He put the bag he was carrying on the table and said aggrievedly, "I went abroad a while ago and brought a gift for my senior (emphasis on the pronunciation), but I didn't expect to get even a single word of praise. Oh~ I'm so sad~~"
Toyama Mima took a look into the bag. "Is this some kind of handmade chocolate? It looks very expensive."
Dong Yexi nodded: "I feel like these snacks I bought don't deserve to be put together with it."
Adachi Shizuku looked at the chocolate, then looked at Matsuzaki Tetsu, and said hesitantly, "Are you so kind? Would you bring me a gift? You don't have any premeditated plans, do you?"
Matsuzaki Toru shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Forget it, I won't tease you anymore. I bought this for everyone, let's share it."
Anda Shizuku showed a knowing expression: "I told you, you can only believe half of what you say."
Upon hearing this, Toru Matsuzaki shrugged.
Dong Yexi didn't know if it was because he was too sensitive after coming out, but he always felt that these two people were weird.
"So what happened just now? Why do everyone's expressions are so ugly?" Toru Matsuzaki asked again.
Mima Toyama explained, "Hoshimoto came over just now. She said she's funding the farewell party for the former president and has rescheduled it to Friday night at the Haido Onsen Hotel."
Adachi Shizuku raised her neck, mimicking Hoshimoto Kana's haughty manner, shaking her head and saying in a choked voice, "I don't want to soak in a hot spring in the wilderness. Who knows if the water there is clean? What if I get a skin disease?"
Matsuzaki Tetsu raised his eyebrows and said, "Doesn't she know I'm looking for a sulfur spring? Sulfur springs have antibacterial properties and can treat skin diseases. Besides, although the Beido Hot Spring Hotel is expensive, it's located in the city, so more people will go there. Isn't the water there even cleaner?"
Anda Shizuku spread her hands and said, "Who knows what this young lady is thinking?"
Matsuzaki Tetsu pinched his brows and said, "Forget it, since she wants to do it, let her do it. Anyway, my time is different from hers, so we can go by ourselves when the time comes."
Yuanshan Meizhen laughed and clapped her hands, saying, "Oh, this means we can play twice!"
Toru Matsuzaki offered a friendly reminder: "Also, everyone should be careful on Friday night. You never know who she'll invite over."
Anda Shizuku curled her lips: "Maybe she will bring her 'cowboy group' with her."
Toyama Mima hesitated and said, "That shouldn't be the case. Wasn't the farewell party held for former President Kaneda?"
Dong Yexi did not join in their conversation. Although he had memorized the list of club members, he knew nothing about their personalities, so to avoid being exposed, he could only speak less.
He processed all the application forms for joining the club and asked Anda Shizuku to send messages to those who passed the initial review, asking them to come for an interview tomorrow.
Dong Yexi said: "The interview is just a formality. If nothing unexpected happens, these people will be the new members of this year."
Adachi Shizuku glanced at the list and asked, "Out of over fifty applications, only this many were approved?"
"We have a small but elite group of people. Besides, we are not a big club, and it would be difficult to manage too many people," explained Dong Yexi.
Matsuzaki Tetsu nodded and said, "You have to know that every time you add a person, you have to increase the budget. When filling out a budget application, you should refer to the previous year's data. It will be difficult to apply for funds from the student union if you add too many people at once. The best way is to add a few more people each year. That way, the club's activity funds will increase unnoticed."
Higashino Xi: He didn’t think too much about it, he just felt that it would be difficult to manage too many people.
Anda Shizuku closed the folder and said, "I'm graduating next year anyway, so I'll leave these things to my successor!" Then she turned to look at Higashino Xi and said gloatingly, "Higashino, you still have to study for a few more years, right?"
Dong Yexi didn't say anything. As a person who started studying medicine halfway, he didn't know if he could graduate!
He only knew basic first aid, a skill the system had given him. These days, whenever he returned home, he'd pick up the original owner's textbooks and notes and carefully read through them. But the reality was, he couldn't graduate just by reading. While he could now memorize everything he'd read, the knowledge was merely imprinted in his mind; he had no idea what it meant.
He even thought about becoming a forensic doctor, at least he wouldn't kill people with his medicine.
However, the original owner was already a top student. If not the most outstanding in the medical field, then he was definitely an excellent student. His instructor would definitely not let him go. Moreover, as a graduate student, he would soon be going out for an internship. What should he do?
Dong Yexi has awe for medicine. In his condition, how can he treat patients and perform surgery?
I will have to find an excuse to avoid the internship when the time comes.
After leaving the activity room, he didn't want to go to the laboratory for the time being and walked aimlessly around the campus.
It was the first time for him to have the leisure to visit the University of Tokyo. Being a university in a foreign country, the atmosphere seemed somewhat different.
As he was walking, something suddenly fell from the sky. He immediately raised his hand to catch it. It turned out to be a white towel.
Still wet.
He looked around, wondering where the towel had come from.
At this moment, a voice called out from above his head: "Hey~~ classmate over there~~"
Dong Yexi looked up and saw a short-haired girl poking her head out of the second-floor window next to him. She put her hands to her mouth and shouted at him, "Excuse me~~ I dropped that towel. Could you please bring it over?" She pointed to the right and said, "Just take it to the gymnasium gate~~"
Dong Yexi then realized that he had walked to the stadium. There were various sports venues and outdoor venues nearby, and most sports were trained here.
Dong Yexi nodded at her and walked in the direction she pointed.
Before he reached the gate, he heard a very loud noise.
"Pah, pah, pah", like the sound of something heavy falling.
He lifted the net that served as a door curtain and looked inside. It turned out to be the volleyball team's training ground.
"Wow~~"
As someone who was experiencing this sport up close for the first time, the volleyball team gave him a great shock.
A group of tall guys with an average height of over 1.9 meters took a run-up and jumped, dribbling the volleyball high over a net that was nearly 2.5 meters high.
This is simply flying!
His height of 1.83 meters seemed a little short in this venue.
It felt like the height they jumped was almost higher than his height!
So tall! Such long legs! Jumping so high!
Just as Dong Yexi was sighing in his heart, a "stray bullet" flew towards him at a high speed.
"Danger!"
The orange volleyball was coming straight towards his face. His mind told him to dodge, but the ball was too fast and it was too late. He could only lean back subconsciously.
Just as the ball was about to hit his face, a big hand blocked his way and caught the volleyball steadily.
The volleyball spun for a long time before it stopped. Dong Yexi could even feel the wind brought by its rotation.
The owner of the hand threw the ball back into the court and shouted, "Watch out!"
Dong Yexi looked at him and said with a smile: "Thank you, Hatori. I feel like if I was hit by this ball, I would have a concussion. You saved my life!"
Hatori Yui nodded and said, "Volleyball is indeed dangerous, and Narita's power is very strong, the ball can reach speeds of 100km/h."
Dong Yexi had a look of doubt on his face: "How much?"
Hatori Yui smiled and said, "Serving at 100 km/h is not uncommon. The current record for men's volleyball is 138 km/h."
Dong Yexi touched his forehead and felt a little scared.
At this moment, Hatori Yui noticed the white towel in his hand, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "What's this?"
Dong Yexi looked at the white towel tightly held in his hand and was about to explain when a short-haired girl ran over. She was the one who had just shouted to him from the window.
She saw Hatori Yuiichi there and said sheepishly, "Hateori-san, I'm sorry I dropped your towel. I'll go wash it again."
Dong Yexi didn't expect that this was Hatori's only towel: "So this is yours." He raised the towel in his hand and said, "Don't worry, it didn't fall to the ground, I caught it!"
Hatori Yui smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if it falls on the ground. I just use it to wipe the sweat off my face."
"A dirty white towel doesn't look good after all." Dong Yexi handed the towel to the girl, who picked it up and ran away immediately.
He asked Hatori Yuiichi in confusion, "Am I that scary?"
Hatori Yuiichi said, "Maybe she felt embarrassed because you are too handsome."
Higashino Higashi had a look on his face that said, "Are you serious?" He thought that someone who could see Hatori Yui every day wouldn't be embarrassed in front of him...
"Senior Higashino, are you here to deliver towels?" asked Hatori Yuiichi.
Dong Yexi came back to his senses: "Yeah, but I have something to talk to you about." He said, "There is a farewell party for the former president on Friday night, and the new members are invited to attend."
Hatori Yuiichi said with an embarrassed look on his face, "I won't go."
Dong Yexi asked: "Are you busy? This time it's held at the Beihu Hot Spring Hotel, and you can have a big meal~"
When Hatori Yui heard the address, his brows furrowed slightly. He thought for a moment and said, "I'll go when I'm free."
Dong Yexi said with a smile: "Then come as much as you can! It would be a waste if you don't grab the wool~"
The two of them were chatting happily at the door, and the other people in the team were secretly watching them.
Narita, who had just nearly hit Higashino Hiroshi, hooked his arm around Sakuhaya Shinta's neck and whispered, "Who is that guy? Why does he look familiar to me?"
Sakuhaya Shinta twitched his lips and said, "Todai isn't that big. Maybe we've met on the road before."
He couldn't possibly say that this was Hatori's rumored boyfriend, right?
