Practical teaching: Starting from the soul traveling through Dragon Garden

Chapter 362 A Small Bet with Ichinose
The fun competition was over, but that didn't mean Ryuen's schedule was over. According to the event list that Hiyori had arranged for him, there was also a pole vaulting event today.

Long Yuan looked at the event list and could only say that he was confused. Pole vaulting was not an advantage for people with larger bodies. This competition tested the coordination of the athlete's entire body, not just the strength of the arms.

Although Longyuan's body is not as strong as Albert, compared with other contestants, Longyuan is the largest one.

Long Yuan is still very confident in his body, but he can only get top three in pole vaulting. If he wants to get first place, he can only use some tricks.

However, these are not the issues that Ryuyuan needs to think about now. Since he has given full authority to Hiyori, he just needs to move his body and stop thinking too much. There are still two hours before the competition, so Ryuyuan plans to take a look at other competitions during this time.

There was no destination in the first place, Long Yuan just walked around randomly, seeing whatever he saw, and before he knew it, he was back to the volleyball hall in the morning.

At this time, the volleyball game has reached the finals. I have to say that the schedule of this game is really tight. It has to be completed in one day. In order to go from the preliminary round to the final, at least 4 teams must be played. One game is 12 minutes, and it takes three games to play against one team. It takes a full four hours, and games a day. What a devilish schedule, it can beat students.

Therefore, the difficulty of this game has been greatly increased. Due to physical fatigue, we cannot display our true strength as time goes on. Facing different teams, how to coordinate, should we retain our strength or go all out.

Obviously, all the participating captains knew that they couldn’t let their students keep hitting the ball at a high intensity all the time, so the team rotations were very frequent, and some teams even proposed to temporarily add players for rotation.

The final for the boys was between Class C led by Kanzaki and Class B led by Katsuragi.

Ryuen was a little surprised. It was understandable that a first-year student didn't make it to the finals, but a third-year student didn't make it either. It seemed that volleyball was not Nanyun's strong point, probably because he didn't participate.

In this competition, not only can the scores be viewed in real time on mobile phones, but the entire competition process has also been recorded and can be watched at any time. The thoughtful logistics staff also made highlights, probably to cope with the leaders who will visit the cultural festival later, and also to maintain the fairness of the competition.

The two sides adopted two completely different strategies in the previous matches. Class B Katsuragi first sent out the small fry to test the waters, and then after finding out the opponent's strength, they sent out the main players, trying to reduce the main players' physical consumption as much as possible, slowing down the pace of the game to buy rest time for the main players.

Kanzaki of Class C was even more simple and rough. Except for the match against Ryuen where they played a full three games, they used their main players in the rest of the games and crushed the opponent 2:0 without any mercy, leaving a whole game for them to rest.

It is hard to say which one is better. Class C has greater benefits but higher risks. Class B still maintains Katsuragi's usual style and is very steady. But in the end, Class C is still better. After playing all three games and crushing the opponent all the way, they are already far behind in morale.

Morale is something that can sometimes allow humans to break through their physiological limits.

In other words, Class C has a better chance of becoming a champion.

Which team does Long Yuan support?

It must be Kanzaki. Although I was defeated by him, if he won the championship, then it would be nothing if I lost to the champion. At most I could blame it on the bad draw. If in the end Kanzaki led his team to crush Katsuragi 3-0 (best of five in the final), then I would play three full games with him and win one small game. Doesn't that mean I am stronger than the runner-up?
Ryuuen showed some Ah Q spirit, but the real reason was that he promised Itaro that Katsuragi would lose in the sports festival.

Due to the pressure of the final, both teams were breathing heavily when they took the court. It was not only because of physical fatigue, but more because of excitement.

The sharpest spear and the hardest shield.

When the whistle of this game blew, the amateur Long Yuan only cared about the result. As for the process, it was a bit boring. Due to physical reasons, both teams made many mistakes. Although there were many wonderful shots, the athletes seemed to be competing while dragging shackles, and the viewing experience was indeed not very high.

The first game belonged to Kanzaki, as he started with a quick attack, which really caught Katsuragi off guard. He also won the second game thanks to his morale, but after being defended by Katsuragi in the third game, he naturally lost the fourth game. In the end, both teams came to the same starting line.

Neither team had any intention of changing their strategy, and they continued to use fast breaks and defensive counterattacks. The game went into overtime and the whole venue became tense.

"Which side do you think will win, Ryuuen-kun?"

It was Ichinose's voice. After all, it was Class C's match, so it was not surprising that Ichinose would be here.

Ryuen vacated the seat on the left for Ichinose to sit down.

"Then which side do you hope will win?" Ryuen asked Ichinose. Now Ichinose's situation is similar to Sakayanagi's, but a little worse than Sakayanagi. Banlou still has some close friends in the class, but Ichinose only has Shiranami left in the class. Shiranami is not a simple person and covets her body.

If we look at it from Ichinose's personal perspective, then he definitely hopes Katsuragi wins, because Ichinose is still Ichinose after all.

"Of course I hope Kanzaki-san can lead everyone to victory. The students have put in a lot of effort for this victory. Komiya-san trains until late every day."

Ryuen shook his head. "You were a careful observer and noticed the efforts of your teammates, but how could you ignore the efforts of the other team? To be able to stand on the finals stage, Katsuragi's efforts and training must be no less than what you mentioned, Komiya-san. And in terms of overall performance, Katsuragi's team is better."

“Will I lose?”

Ichinose felt a little disappointed. She didn't know much about volleyball, but she also knew the importance of teamwork and cooperation. Individualism was more emphasized in Class C.

"That depends on how the hero in your class performs."

"hero?"

"It's the Xiao Gong you mentioned. Let's see if he can withstand the pressure and demonstrate his personal heroism to the extreme."

"Is it really possible? Komiya-san is a genius at volleyball, but his hands and legs are shaking now."

Ichinose showed a worried expression.

"Would you like to make a bet?"

Ichinose, who was still in a bad mood, was disrupted by Ryuen's words. He looked confused and said, "What do you want to bet on, Ryuen-kun? I don't have many points."

"Just bet on which side will win. If you win, you can make a small request to me. As for the scale, it's up to you to decide. Conversely, if you lose, you have to agree to a small request of mine. Let you choose first."

After saying that, Ryuuen stared at Ichinose with a smirk on his face.

Ichinose looked distressed: "I always feel that Ryuuen-kun is thinking about Se-se. I don't think I can win at all."

"How could that be? I gave you the choice. The overtime is almost over. No matter how you look at it, the probability of you winning is more than 50%."

Ryuen continues to persuade Ichinose.

Ichinose looked at the tense situation on the field and thought for a while: "Well, then I'll choose Kanzaki-san to win."

"Okay, then I'll pick Katsuragi to win."

Ryuen showed his signature smile, which made Ichinose a little unsure. She didn't really want to win, but she also didn't want to let Ryuen do whatever he wanted.

"I want Katsuragi to win instead, is that ok?"

"Okay, you can change it until the results come out."

Seeing that Ryuuen agreed so easily, Ichinose felt a little regretful, but he didn't plan to change it as it would be meaningless.
