Chapter 11
"Hey, Genko."
After the test match ended and the students returned to their respective dormitories, Zhou Yuan took advantage of Su Yu's shower time to whisper to Jiang Yuan: "Why do you think our little ancestor always feels that he has no talent?"
Jiang Yuan glanced at Zhou Yuan silently and ignored him.
In fact, on the way back, he was thinking about the same question, but he had no answer. The only explanation was Xiaoyu's own physical condition, but if that was the case, he didn't know how to comfort Xiaoyu.
In the bathroom, Su Yu looked a little annoyed while running hot water.
He knew that Zhou Yuang and Jiang Yuan were wondering why he was so resistant to their praise, but he couldn't explain his rebirth, nor could he explain that this was not the first time he had received technical training related to starting.
In today's opening camp test, all the advantages he gained were related to these technical skills. These skills did not come from his talent, but because he had "sneak peek" in the future that no one knew about.
This is not genius, this is that everyone is standing at the starting line of the 100-meter race, but he has secretly run 10 meters ahead.
***
When Su Yu came out of the shower, Jiang Yuan was about to say something when he saw that Su Yu had not dried his hair again. So his motherly spirit ignited again, and he pushed Su Yu onto the chair and started to educate him with a dry towel.
"I told you, don't forget to dry your hair after taking a shower. Aungko and I don't need a few minutes."
Su Yu, with his head covered by a large, soft, dry towel, responded muffledly with a "hmm".
Jiang Yuan sighed helplessly. He knew that his little ancestor came out with wet hair on purpose this time. He probably guessed that he wanted to say something to him, so he used his action to change the subject.
Okay, then don't tell me.
After all, he has been unable to do anything with Xiaoyu since he was a child.
After wiping Su Yu's hair until it was fresh and half dry, he let the awkward kitten out from under the big towel.
When Zhou Yuang came out of the shower, he saw Su Yu sitting silently. Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Yuan stopped him with a look.
The big guy scratched his head in distress, but soon figured it out - forget it, the little ancestor had poor health in the past, so it was normal for him to not be aware of his own talents. Not to mention looking into the future, after this summer camp is over, their little ancestor should be able to have some understanding of his own talents... right?
***
On the second day of the camp test, the morning training was the same as usual, but at the beginning of the morning training, the on-site coaches changed from Pei Dingshan and Wang Pengfei to a total of nine assistant coaches covering events such as sprinting, hurdles, high jump, and long jump.
Each student present was called one by one and assigned to different groups based on their results from the opening camp test the day before.
When Su Yu came to the training ground with Jiang Yuan and Zhou Yuang, Pei Dingshan directly called the two to his side, but Jiang Yuan was called by both the long jump and high jump groups at the same time.
"Jiang Yuan, right? Wait a moment. Coach Liu said that he will personally guide you and you will go to the youth team for training later."
Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and was about to refuse reflexively, but was stopped by Su Yu.
"Brother, you go."
Su Yu looked at him with a stern face, as if to say, 'If you dare not go, I will break up with you'.
Jiang Yuan hesitated a little. He came to the summer camp originally because he wanted to take care of Su Yu nearby. It would not matter if they trained in the exclusive training ground of the summer camp. But now he was asked to train with the youth team, which meant they were not in the same venue. He would not be able to observe what was happening with Xiaoyu at the first time.
He wanted to explain something more, but Zhou Yuang beside him patted him on the shoulder and advised him: "Hey, Yuanzi, Coach Liu is the high jump and long jump coach of our provincial team!"
Zhou Yuang gave a thumbs-up gesture and smiled, "Aren't you worried about our little ancestor? Don't worry, your little ancestor is my little ancestor. I will definitely pay a hundred percent attention to our 303's little ancestor. Just rest assured and leave the little ancestor to me to take care of!"
Jiang Yuan: “…”
Although I was a little touched, to be honest, I wasn't really at ease leaving the care of Zhou Yuang in his care.
Jiang Yuan looked at the determination on Su Yu's face, and remembered his worries when Pei Dingshan chose Su Yu and Zhou Yuang two days ago, and finally nodded.
"good."
Pei Dingshan watched the three of them talking. After Jiang Yuan and his little ancestor said goodbye, Pei Dingshan raised his eyes and asked, "Are you done talking?"
Then he looked at Jiang Yuan and said, "It's 8:25 now. The youth team's training will start in 5 minutes. You should go."
Jiang Yuan was stunned when he heard this. He didn't have time to explain more to Su Yu and Zhou Yuang. He waved to them and ran quickly to the training ground of the youth team according to the instructions of the assistant coaches of the high jump and long jump groups.
After watching Jiang Yuan leave, Su Yu was about to gather at the side as usual when he heard a voice behind his ear saying, "Where are you going?"
Su Yu turned around when he heard the voice and saw Pei Dingshan looking at him.
He pursed his lips and replied, "Gather."
Pei Dingshan looked at him deeply, then looked at Zhou Yuang beside him: "You two, wait here."
He pointed to the spot next to him.
Su Yu frowned, but did not refute. He stood beside Pei Dingshan with Zhou Yuang.
After all the students were in place and divided into groups, Wang Pengfei stood up and, together with another new assistant coach, announced to the students in the sprint group that the two of them would be the coaches in charge of the sprint group during the rest of the summer camp.
Seeing this, Su Yu tilted his head in confusion.
Pei Dingshan then turned around and looked at the two of them, and said to them: "You two, follow me."
This way we arrived at another training ground. Although the environment of this training ground was no different from that of the summer camp training ground, there was an indoor training ground not far from the outdoor ground. The training equipment and props placed indoors and outdoors were obviously much more than those of the summer camp ground. However, the number of people training there was much less than the hundred or so people in the summer camp.
The point is, as soon as Su Yu looked up, he saw the source of the river in the distance.
Su Yu: “…”
Zhou Yuang: “Pfft.”
Zhou Yuang really couldn't help laughing. He chuckled and said, "Little Ancestor, what do you think Yuanzi would think if he saw the two of us coming here to train?"
Jiang Yuan, who was not far away: "..."
Thank you for the invitation. I am so stupid to be reluctant to leave.
When Jiang Yuan saw Su Yu and Zhou Yuang appearing at the youth group's venue, he was stunned at first, and then the thought that popped into his mind was "As expected".
Pei Dingshan was a coach that the S Province provincial team had worked hard to recruit. How could the team allow him to lead ordinary students in a summer camp for a whole month? Pei Dingshan should have been screening good seedlings in the past few days. Now that the good seedlings have been found, it is time to officially start training.
On the other side, a dozen members of the provincial youth team were being trained by another coach. When they saw Pei Dingshan bringing Su Yu and Zhou Yuang to the training ground together, many of them became curious.
"Is this the Su Yu and Zhou Yuang?"
"I know this guy named Zhou Yuang. He's very good. His PB is 11.33 seconds. He can even make it to the finals of the U-series national competitions. I heard that he was just taught casually by the coach of an ordinary middle school track and field team. He has an amazing talent."
"Fuck, can a normal high school track and field coach just teach and get a time of 11.33 seconds?"
"Of course not. Otherwise, would Pei Shuai have chosen Zhou Yuang to be his subordinate?"
"Hey, but I heard that Pei Shuai is more optimistic about the other one named Su Yu, right? The one who looks particularly fragile."
"Don't just 'look' like that. Not only does he look like that, he is actually a fragile mage. I heard that when he came to the summer camp, his parents even used their connections to ask the team to give him special care. He has had a weak body since he was a child and is very fragile."
The members of the youth team looked at each other in bewilderment. They were in training all day long, busy browsing their phones and playing games in their spare time, and had to attend tutoring classes in the rest of the time. Some of them had just returned from competitions outside the city a few days ago, so they had no idea about the gossip in the team in the past two days.
Hearing this, he couldn't help but ask, "Is it true? Why would Pei Shuai want him if he's so fragile?"
"That's right. He doesn't even like the members of our youth team, so why would he like a squishy mage?"
The team member who knew the inside story said: "You don't know this, right? This squishy mage is even more powerful than that Zhou Yuang!"
Team members:? ? ?
"It just happened yesterday. Yesterday, this squishy mage ran the 100-meter test in 14.32 seconds against the wind."
Everyone looked confused: Ah...that's it?
The team member who knew the situation gasped and said, "But he was exempted from physical education exams since he was young because of his poor health. He never received any professional training in the past. He only received two days of instruction from Pei Shuai. Before that, it was said that his best result was over 17.50 seconds in the school's regular hand-timed test."
"hiss!"
The team members then gasped - they had never received any professional training before, and their results improved by more than 3 seconds in just two days? !
"Oh my god, what will happen if we give him more training time?!"
The player who knew about it was quite gossipy and said, "It's not certain actually. We still have to see how his physical condition is. Anyway, I heard that the coaches in the coaching staff are more optimistic about Zhou Yuang. I think what our coaching staff said is quite right."
The players around looked at each other, until one of the tall players said seriously: "No matter whether the coaches in the coaching staff are right or not, you should first think about what Pei Shuai meant by bringing people to our youth group for training."
Others:?
"The National U Series Base Competition will be held in 38 days. I think you all have heard about it. The team plans to have the top three students in each event at the summer camp participate in the base competition with us."
The team member glanced at everyone and said, "You don't expect to lose to a newcomer who has only been in training for less than two months, do you?"
The others were stunned for a moment: "That's impossible, right? Didn't they say that only the top three students in a single event in the summer camp can participate? I heard that several people reached the national third standard yesterday. In addition to Zhou Yuang, there were two others who also ran under 12 seconds, but they were not very stable. Didn't Su Yu only run 14.32 yesterday?"
The team member then asked, "Then think about Su Yu's performance improving by more than 3 seconds in two days?"
"…So 17 seconds to 14 seconds and 14 seconds to 12 seconds are two different things, right?"
"That's right! Could it be possible that Su Yu could really rank among the top in the country in less than two months? How could he be a human being?"
The tall player didn't comment, but just said, "Then we'll just have to wait and see."
Everyone looked at each other again, then jumped up immediately, stopped slacking off and gossiping, and rushed to start training hard.
On the other side, Pei Dingshan glanced at Su Yu and Zhou Yuang in front of him and said calmly: "I hope you can all be mentally prepared and able to withstand the next 38 days of training."
"Now, preparations begin."
