Nirvana Top Laner, Reborn Tokyo Girl

Chapter 81, Section 79: Training Match!
Today will be a special day for those at the CFO base.

They all knew in advance that Shimamura Yuna would be arriving at the base today.

Initially, people were not happy that the club's management signed another top laner when they already had two.

I just felt that way.
'Damn, so you're really trying to create hype, huh?'

The two people were already competing for the job, and now another person is joining the competition. It's normal for anyone to be unhappy about that.

However, later on, they also saw photos of Shimamura Yuna and realized, "Wow, this girl is really cute."

On the other hand, they also saw Shimamura Yuna's remarks during her Bilibili live stream.

Yuna Shimamura openly admitted that she got into the team through hype, without any attempt to hide it, and expressed her determination to earn a starting position and achieve good results through her own abilities.

Such an open and honest attitude actually changed their opinion of the girl.

'Oh, so she knew she was just a publicity stunt for the top laner.'

"Damn, she's not here to generate buzz, she genuinely wants to be the CFO and take you two top laners down. You're in trouble."

'It looks like one of you two is really going to have to step down.'

Similarly, these somewhat joking discussions have taken place countless times within the team.

Both top laners naturally felt more threatened by this, but they didn't feel any aversion towards Shimamura Yuna.

As of today, the team's attitude towards Yuna Shimamura has gradually changed from rejection and dislike to simple curiosity.

I'm curious about her skill level, and what it's like to have a female player on the team.

On that day, Yuna Shimamura walked into the CFO's training room dressed in a very casual white team uniform.

The group of boys in the team, who were about the same age as college students, were immediately excited.

Although they had seen the promotional photos of Yuna Shimamura taken in Japan, they had not yet actually met her in person.

At this moment, when they actually saw it, they discovered...
The real Yuna Shimamura seems even more beautiful than in the photos.

Although she doesn't look as polished as in the heavily edited promotional photos, she exudes an indescribable sense of approachability in real life.

just like.
It was as if the cutest girl from my imagination had actually appeared in real life.

The boys in the group were curious about the Japanese girl who had suddenly appeared and wanted to strike up a conversation, but they were too shy to take the initiative.

Finally, it was head coach Chawy who broke the deadlock.

"Alright, now that Shimamura is here, we're all part of a team now. Let's introduce ourselves."

At the coach's urging, the boys in the team took the initiative to introduce themselves to Shimamura Yuna.

First up is top laner Driver, currently CFO's starting top laner. He excels at tanks and some unusual champions, making him a typical "shield" type of player.

Next up is Rest, the substitute top laner.

Compared to Driver, Rest is clearly a more traditional and versatile player.

With a wider hero pool, it can adapt to more tactical styles.

A few years earlier, he was also known as the best top laner in the LMS, and was called TheRest.

The main reason he is not the starting top laner but only a substitute is because he is a bit old. He is already 26 years old this year, and his level and form have declined significantly compared to when he was younger.

Therefore, his main role in the team now is to help the starting top laner, Driver, fill in the gaps in his champion pool, and as a veteran, to pass on his experience to the rookies. In fact, the current starting top laner, Driver, is basically his protégé, having been mentored by him. Junjia, the jungler, is a familiar face to most LPL viewers.

He played in the LPL for a long time and was once groomed by EDG as their crown prince.

However, he was probably just not up to par, and his performance with EDG was really unacceptable, so he was let go.

After that, he returned to the Pacific Division to find a team, and finally regained his form there, becoming the current LCP jungle king.

HongQ, the mid-laner, is currently the youngest player on the team, even slightly younger than 17-year-old Yuna Shimamura. He is considered a super rookie in the Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan region.

Doggo, the bot laner, is also a familiar face in the LPL. He played in the LPL for a long time, but without much success. The only memorable thing about him is probably the controversy surrounding benching the legendary ADuzi, which subjected him to a lot of unnecessary public pressure back then.

He once bluntly stated during his time in the LPL that "going back to PCS (the former name of the Pacific Division) would be worse than just retiring."

But for some reason, he came back dejectedly, and he's actually doing quite well.

Finally, there's the support role for Kaiwing.

This is a veteran player who started playing before the LMS disbanded, and his skill level is considered average.

After a brief introduction to these people, Shimamura Yuna then introduced herself.

"Hello everyone, my name is Shimamura Yuna. My ID is just the Japanese pronunciation of Shimamura, so please don't worry about it. Just call me Shimamura normally."

"I'm good at many heroes, it depends on the coach's arrangement."

And that's how the group's self-introductions came to an end.

Although it was a self-introduction, it's not easy for boys and girls to become familiar with each other so easily.

Secondly, Shimamura Yuna herself gives off a very distant feeling, making people hesitant to strike up a conversation.

So, the atmosphere was still a little awkward.

Fortunately, Chawy, the coach from Singapore, understands one principle.

The simplest and most consistent goal of a professional esports team is to play matches and win them.

Any topic must be built upon this foundation.

So he said directly to Shimamura Yuna, "I saw you talking quite confidently in your live stream before, saying that you would prove yourself with your strength and that you were not just hyping things up, and that it is not time to celebrate until you have achieved results."

"Then prove it to me. I am an absolutely fair coach. When playing a game, whoever performs well goes up and whoever doesn't perform well goes down, without any personal feelings."

"I knew you were coming today, so I arranged a training match for you in advance. It will start soon."

"If your performance today is so good that you can replace those two, I guarantee that they'll keep a close eye on the water dispenser from now on, making sure you only get hot water."

"So, are you confident you can prove you can make them stay together forever?"

Yuna Shimamura didn't want to appear too confrontational.

So he just gave an awkward laugh and said, "I won't let you down."

P.S.: It should be available on Sanjiang soon, so I'll guarantee at least two updates in the next two days, but I'm not sure how many exactly.

Anyway, we'll work out the storyline to a point where it's suitable for release before it goes on sale next Tuesday.
