Chapter 109: The Rumored Joja (6k nutrient solution plus more) ...
The first practice match against Jingtashan was ultimately lost 2:0. Although the initial plan was to play three full sets, due to physical considerations and team coordination, the match was concluded after two sets. During the post-match review, Kenjo Shinichi was completely clueless and tried to sneak in. Igarashi was very open to this, but was stopped by Coach Ukyo. In the end, the setter Shiratorizawa had no choice but to leave in disgrace, dragging a plastic chair. His back actually looked a bit dejected.
If he had ears and a tail, they would probably be hanging down. His appearance finally made Baibu feel a little better. He had been a little unhappy with Jian Cheng's dazed behavior, but seeing this scene, all his anger subsided. "Try your best in the next game."
Shirabu, who is also a setter, patted Kenjo Shinichi's back hard, but his hand hurt because of the double effect of the force.
The most curious person here was Tiantong. He carefully studied Jiancheng's expression for a while and thought for a few seconds: "Do Xinyi and Ruoli's father know each other?"
To be honest, he wanted to ask when he heard the confusing word "Morris", but time did not allow it at that time. Now the rest time left for them was just right.
Hearing this, the blue-haired boy tilted his head, a thoughtful expression on his face. "...I think he knows her."
It's a one-sided understanding in every sense of the word.
After thinking for a while, Kenjo Shinichi added, "We were all from JOJA before."
Hearing this word, Shirabu suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen the same word when filling out the enrollment form at the beginning of the school year, "Is it your previous school...?" But if it was a real school, the name was too weird.
The farmer recalled Morris's decision: "It's a club."
Was it a club?
Tendou became interested, took out his phone, and hummed: "Let's see what Xinyi-chan's previous club was like!"
It would be a lie to say that they weren't curious. After all, it was a volleyball club in the United States. Although it wasn't very famous in Japan yet, with a backup talent like Kenjo Shinichi, it couldn't be bad. As a result, a group of people searched for "joja club" with great interest, but the first thing that came up was not the official website, but various news reports.
Shiratorizawa Shu: ...
Wait, what does it mean when a club forces players to endorse products? And what does this "violent control" mean? Why are there even rumors of players suffering from depression?
A group of people looked at the farmer's stunned expression and then at a bunch of negative news. No matter how they looked at it, they felt very disconnected. After finally searching for the official website, they found that everyone's value was frighteningly high, as were the transfer fees. In the comment section below the official website, there were many people scolding them, saying that it was money-driven volleyball and that they had ruined children's dreams.
However, there were also complaints that their uniforms and mascots were awfully tacky.
Tendo:……
Tendo silently turned off his phone with a strange look on his face. Seni, Shirabu, Kawanishi and the others who gathered around him also had complicated expressions. Although they didn't see any reports about Kenjo in it, it was clear from just these few reports that Joja was definitely not a good place. No wonder Kenjo Shinichi's thinking was different from that of ordinary people.
farmer:?
Why do you all look at him with sympathy?
The farmer thought for a moment and said seriously, "I am an excellent employee." He is awesome!
Shiratorizawa Shu: ...
Broken, it sounds worse.
In the end, the atmosphere in Shiratorizawa was unusually silent, in stark contrast to the noisy atmosphere in Owl Valley.
This continued until the end of the morning practice session, leaving the farmer completely bewildered.
*
This matter was publicized very quickly. During lunch, Shiratorizawa even formed a team to ask coach Sorai specifically. The coach pondered for a long time, and finally, as if he suddenly remembered something, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and searched through the album for a long time. Finally, among a pile of photos (including Ushijima's, Shirabu tried to ask him to stop several times), he found a photo of Kenjo Shinichi dressed like a supermarket employee.
His face is still childish and expressionless, and judging from his movements, he seems to be doing personal training. Although he still has the same eyes, I inexplicably feel that Kenjo Shinichi is much more lively now.
Coach Sorai gave a nostalgic look, "I only met Kenjo-kun once."
The photo was taken by accident, and honestly, he hadn't expected it to last until now. Even Sorai Takashi hadn't anticipated that the stern-faced boy back then would now be in the same school as his son. He sighed with emotion, "Kenjo-kun's foundation was already very solid back then."
"Mr. Sorai," Shirabu stared at the blurry picture of Kenjo Shinichi on his phone for a moment, then looked up with a hint of curiosity. "How's the Joja Club?"
Upon hearing this, Coach Kong Jing was stunned. He rubbed his chin twice and pondered for a moment: "...a club with great strength and commercial value."
"But it's not suitable for most people," he said. "The pressure is still quite high."
Shirabu restrained his expression, exchanged a glance with Kawanishi Taichi and Senmi Eita who had also come over, and finally thanked the temporary coach before leaving with his lunch.
Jiancheng was pulled over by Xiaogu and was now talking to Kuroo not far away. However, from their perspective, they could only see Jiancheng constantly putting food into his mouth and chewing it, stuffing himself like a squirrel, nodding from time to time and responding to Kuroo.
I looked away, not knowing who spoke first.
"Why don't you be nicer to Jiancheng in the future?"
"Yes."

In the afternoon, it's time to rest.
In order to motivate everyone, Coach Saito took out a toy from the collection room and said he wanted to test their reaction.
"A quick-handed game," he pushed up his glasses. "Everyone must have played it before."
The five reaction rods shook twice when they were pushed out.
However, not everyone was interested. At least when Komori was eager to join in, Sakuhaya was standing alone in the corner. Seeing this, Igarashi sighed, "Koushi is always like this."
Gu Sen laughed twice: "You don't want to touch other people's sweat."
This was the truth. They had just finished a round of play. Although everyone was quite clean, they had just exercised and their bodies were still sticky. They had to wait until the end of training to take a shower. The only thing they could do was wipe themselves with a towel. Asking Sakuhaya to join in such an activity that involved being so close to others was simply asking too much.
However, Igarashi and Komori were very excited. Except for them, everyone else in Jingda Mountain was watching the fun. Yaotome combed her hair back to reveal her smooth forehead and sighed, "What a youth!"
"Are you an old man?" Matsumoto complained.
Yaotome: "That's not cute, Hikaru."
"Who wants grown men to think it's cute?" Matsumoto gave a thumbs-down sign.
However, judging from the challengers, it is true that all the participants are from the first-year group - of course, there is also Kuroo on the Xiaogu side who is eager to try and doesn't want to miss any game, but because of his mental age, he is also classified as a youth.
He was the first to take on the challenge. Player Kuroo entered confidently amidst the applause of Owl Valley, and then left with a dejected look on his face.
"Three, there are only three..." Kuroo squatted on the ground with a look of dejection and started drawing circles, repeating the same words in his mouth.
It was Tendo who took the unauthorized role of commentator. He pulled out a water bottle from somewhere and expressed his regret in a slightly exaggerated voice, "Kurobuta caught three! That's quite a feat. Next up is Igarashi, the off-spinner from Ichiyama. Would you like to say hello, Igarashi-kun?"
He held the water bottle over.
Igarashi is also a very dramatic person. He said with a serious face, "My campaign slogan is to become Shinichi-kun's favorite attacker in Jingda Mountain."
“…”
Where did the campaign manifesto come from? The others applauded in confusion. The coaches were also watching from a distance, all with smiles on their faces, just like Yaotome at the beginning.
Igarashi's eyes were sharp, but his performance was even worse than that of Kuroo at the beginning. He only caught two. After seeing his dismal performance, he tightly grasped Komori's shoulders and shook him twice, his expression slightly frozen: "Gentaya, you are not allowed to surpass me."
GOOMSON: ...
Are you some kind of gravity man?
Goossen smiled and refused: "Sorry, Minato, this is a competition, I won't let you win."
Igarashi: ...
Igarashi clicked his tongue.
Seeing this, Jing Tiantong's eyes lit up: "Ohhhh! Is this the legendary split within the team? What an interesting conversation!"
"Are we about to witness the breakdown of a friendship?"
Senmi was silent for a few seconds, trying to stop his peers from provoking such behavior: "Be careful with your words, Tendou..."
Everyone was watching, but then again, how did it become a competition? Wasn't it just a little game? Seto felt a little embarrassed. Next to him sat Kenjo Shinichi. Their setter seemed fascinated by the feeling of sitting on the little plastic stool, behaving like a well-behaved large dog—if you ignored the tangle of the leash in his hand.
Shirabu: ...
Bai Bu couldn't help but ask, "Is it really okay for him to play like this, Senior?"
Although we decided at noon that we would be a little nicer to Jiancheng Xinyi in the future, the execution was a bit too quick. And with Jiancheng's wandering personality, a leash is really important! Besides, being nice to him doesn't mean it has to evolve into spoiling him!
Hearing this, Seto turned around and was shocked, "Why are you jumping through the ropes in the sword city?"
Shirabu: ...
It turns out that it wasn't spoiling, it was something that the bastard Jiancheng brought out himself.
Gu Sen was concentrating on taking the reaction baton in the front, and they were trying hard to restore the traction rope. Why did Jian Cheng have so much energy all day long?
In the end, the record of the Jingtashan Freeman was four, breaking Kuroo's record, and the Owl Valley Ace, which had been reduced to a mushroom due to Igarashi's poor performance, was once again reduced to a mushroom.
On Shiratorizawa's side, it was Taichi Kawanishi who took the court, also with three roots. Tendo patted his water bottle, raised his hand, and announced, "Ichiyama won this battle! Congratulations to Komori!"
"Well done, Yuanye!" Matsumoto howled twice, "Just let this teach them a lesson."
Behind him, he heard the voice of Owl Valley saying that Kuroo was the second place. In the end, Kuroo cheered up because Konoha said Ushijima did not rank (obviously he did not participate in the competition)
Coach Saito clapped his hands and ordered Jiancheng, who was being reprimanded by two people, to push the things back to the collection room. They would continue training later.
