Zongman, gain super powers after helping others

I don't know why she's learning this, and I can't understand why her physical fitness is still so poor even though she's trained to this level.

After a quick and easy lunch, Lin Qianshu followed Totsuka and Hachiman to the playground. Totsuka had applied to the school for permission to use the tennis court during the lunch break, which also meant that they were the only ones who could use the court during the entire break.

Lin Qianshu thought it would be great to change the lunch location here. There was light, water, and shade, and most importantly, there were hardly any people around. Perfect!

As soon as Lin Qianshu crossed the playground and arrived at the tennis court, she saw Yukino Yukinoshita reading a book under the shade of a tree. She was still wearing her school uniform and had not changed into sportswear like Yuihama next to her.

Upon seeing the group arrive, Yuihama excitedly ran out of the shade and waved to the three of them, saying, "Yay!"

"Good afternoon, Yuihama-san." Lin Chishu nodded to Yuihama.

"What did you do yesterday?"

This sentence was said by Yukino Yukinoshita, and it was because of her that Lin Qianshu had the illusion that he had been questioned by his wife about where he had been fooling around all night.

"I'm going out to take care of something," Lin Qianshu mumbled.

"Aren't you going to the hospital for a follow-up check-up?"

Hachiman always brings up the very thing he shouldn't have said.

"How did it go? Are you alright?" Upon hearing Hikigaya's words, Yukinoshita immediately looked at Hayashi Chiki's left leg. Her tone remained cold, but anyone could hear the concern in it.

Okay, take back what I said earlier, Hachiman, good job!

“Absolutely no problem.” Lin Qianshu stomped his right leg again.

Yukino didn't even make a comment!

Seeing that Lin Qianshu was indeed alright, she continued, "Then let's not delay and begin today's training."

After saying that, Yukinoshita took the lead and went to the wall next to the tennis court. Then she signaled to Totsuka, Yuihama and Hikigaya to start today's special training. Oh, and today we also have to add Hayashi Chiki.

Looking at the tennis racket being handed to him, Lin Qianshu asked the probing question: "Aren't you coming?"

"I don't need to practice."

Yukinoshita tossed her hair, her tone so matter-of-fact, brimming with the ease of someone with maxed-out skills.

"Don't you want to do some physical training?"

"It will be tiring."

"Isn't it precisely because you're tired that you should train even more?"

However, Yukino saw through Lin Qianshu's idea of ​​dragging others into the mess at a glance and remained unmoved, saying, "I will only provide technical guidance. As for me to practice with you in the arena... we'll talk about that when your skills are up to par."

The implication is that you are not yet worthy of making me feel the need to practice.

Very good, this is very much like Yukinoshita.

Lin Qianshu wasn't annoyed at all. Instead, he said, "How about we make a bet?"

"A bet?" Yukinoshita became interested.

Although they haven't reached an agreement on the terms from last time, that doesn't stop them from trying again. Maybe this time the outcome will open up a whole new situation for the deadlocked negotiations?

"The bet is simple: guess how long it will take me to train to the point where I can defeat you," Lin Qianshu said, holding up a finger.

Upon hearing this, Yukino raised an eyebrow. Was it a bet based on the premise that she was bound to lose?

Admittedly, the physical differences between men and women can have a significant impact on the outcome of tennis matches, but Yukinoshita is confident that she can make up for this with her technique. At least in the short term, beginners like Hayashi Chiki are unlikely to pose any threat to her.

Although there is a net in the middle, tennis is not as easy as badminton. The weight of the racket alone is enough to give an ordinary person without professional training a hard time.

According to the NTRP standard for tennis, tennis players are divided into seven levels, from 1.0 to 7.0.

Generally speaking, a skill level below 3.0 is considered a beginner, while 4.0 to 5.0 represents the average level of ordinary tennis enthusiasts. Skill levels of 5.0 to 6.0 can be considered professional, and this group of players only accounts for 5% of the tennis community.

A score of 7.0 represents the pinnacle of the field, placing one within the realm of international competitors.

Yukino's skill level can be classified as 5.5 to 6.0, which means she is a tennis powerhouse at the peak of the semi-professional level.

However, due to her significant weakness in physical fitness, Yukino's actual performance level may be downgraded by one level, to around 4.5 to 5.0.

Even so, it is enough to demonstrate Yukino's strength in this field.

Keep in mind that the highest level among the third-year students in the school's tennis club is only 3.5, which is two whole levels below Yukinoshita.

Only someone as fearless and naive as Lin Qianshu would dare to issue such a challenge.

Therefore, facing Lin Qianshu's challenge, Yukinoshita readily agreed, saying:

"If you can beat me before the end of this semester, you win."

Chapter 91 The Dark Psychology of Social Interaction

"Your backhand is weak, your forehand is poor, your footwork is loose, and your reactions are slow! You think you can compete with me?"

The clear, cold voice echoed across the tennis court beneath the snow.

In contrast, Lin Qianshu, looking somewhat disheveled, ran back and forth across the court, racket in hand, constantly hitting the ball.

This is Lin Qianshu's third day playing tennis. He has become basically familiar with the swing and can perform simple serve returns, but he is prone to making mistakes.

Tennis is more difficult than Lin Qianshu had imagined. Although he has physical qualities that surpass those of ordinary people, he still needs a certain amount of practice to fully utilize them.

In fact, for a normal person to reach the standard 3.0 level, they need at least a month of systematic training.

Honestly, Yukinoshita was already surprised that he could reach a 2.0 level in just three days by training only during his lunch break.

But as surprised as I was, I still had to say what I wanted to say.

After realizing that Lin Qianshu could withstand such training, Yukinoshita showed no mercy. If it weren't for the fact that strenuous exercise was not advisable after meals, and the uncertainty about whether it would affect the recovery of Lin Qianshu's left leg, Yukinoshita's training methods would probably have been even more aggressive.

"You still watch cartoons?"

Lin Qianshu couldn't hold back any longer at Yukinoshita's classic trash talk.

And his reactions aren't slow, okay? It's just that his movements are a bit stiff!

"You're not concentrating! Who told you to talk! At this rate, you'll never beat me even after graduation." Yukinoshita really acted like a queen at this moment, not even allowing anyone to speak.

The trio of Totsuka, Hikigaya, and Yuigahama, who had almost finished training and were resting nearby, couldn't help but exchange glances upon seeing this scene.

"I always feel..."

Why are they arguing again?

"Amazing."

After the three of them shared their opinions, Totsuka picked up his racket and said to Hachiman with great enthusiasm, "Hachiman-kun, I'm counting on you!"

"Sigh, don't push yourself too hard. Those two guys are not ordinary people." Hachiman sighed. He had originally planned to use training as an excuse to 'repay' Lin Qianshu for the 'humiliation' he had brought him in the sport of table tennis.

But now Yukinoshita has completely taken over Lin Qianshu, leaving him no room to make a move.

As for the idea of ​​competing with Yukinoshita for Hayashi Chiki, even if Hikigaya had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare to have such a thought.

"Lin is working so hard, there's no reason for me to just rest. I... I want to try harder!"

Totsuka gripped her racket with both hands, a determined look appearing on her pretty, girlish face, making Hachiman blush.

"Now that you mention it, it's true..."

Hikigaya could somewhat understand Totsuka's current mindset. It was Totsuka who made the request, but now the person handling the request was practicing even more enthusiastically than the requester. This inevitably made Totsuka feel that he would lose if he didn't keep up.

In short, Lin Qianshu became the catfish for Totsuka Ayaka.

So this is how it was solved? Lin Qianshu, you bastard...

Just as the training was in full swing, a female voice rang out.

"Huh? Yuihama, there are... a lot of people. How did you all get into the tennis court?"

"Oh, it's Yumiko."

Yuihama heard a familiar voice, turned around, and saw that it was indeed Miura Yumiko holding a box of juice, looking at the people on the court through the tennis fence.

"I haven't seen you at noon these past few days. So you've come here." Miura Yumiko replied, but her gaze unconsciously drifted towards Hayashi Chiki.

From her perspective, Yukinoshita serves the ball, while Lin Qianshu keeps running back and forth, and Yukinoshita occasionally says a few words to Lin Qianshu.

This situation gave Miura Yumiko the feeling of throwing a frisbee to a dog and then ordering it to fetch it back.

No, no, no, it looks more like a training session.

Yumiko Miura quickly dismissed this strange idea, but seeing how Chiki Hayashi had been teased by Yukinoshita, she felt inexplicably uneasy.

Why is it that every man she sets her sights on is somehow connected to Yukino Yukinoshita?

Both Hayama and Hayashi Chiki were similar. For the former, Miura Yumiko was more of an admirer, while for the latter, it was initially more due to her mother's encouragement that she subconsciously became somewhat concerned. It wasn't until later, when the results came out and she discovered that Hayashi Chiki had surpassed Hayama and tied for first place in the grade with Yukinoshita, that she began to have a general understanding of Hayashi Chiki's excellence and thus became more concerned about her.

It can only be said that Yumiko Miura is a person who admires strength. While she has high standards for herself, she also unconsciously applies those standards to the people around her.

Once she realizes someone's 'power,' she will be unconsciously attracted to them, and then gravitate towards that person, learn from them, and develop a sense of admiration.

The stronger and more outstanding that person is, the greater his attraction to Miura Yumiko.

Take Hayama as an example. Miura Yumiko was initially attracted by his strong social skills, but then, with the encouragement of those around her, she unknowingly began to care about him and developed a certain hostility towards Yukinoshita.

However, ever since Lin Qianshu surpassed Ye Shan in academic performance, and her family was effectively tied to Lin Qianshu, with even her own father becoming Ye Shan's subordinate, Miura Yumiko's attention gradually shifted from Ye Shan to Lin Qianshu.

With her mother constantly offering advice, Miura Yumiko's self-conquest progressed much faster than expected.

After all, one is a joke between friends, while the other is one's own mother personally whispering in one's ear with a purpose and plan. The two are worlds apart in terms of both the closeness of the relationship and the efficiency.

Not to mention that Miura Yumiko knew very well that many of the guys who were trying to get her to date Hayama also had fantasies about Hayama, and even secretly encouraged her to confess her feelings to him.

That way, whether Hayama accepts or refuses, it will give them an opportunity to take advantage of him.

Accepting this means that the only rival is Miura Yumiko, and it also indicates that Hayama has romantic tendencies.

By refusing, she can eliminate the formidable rival, Yumiko Miura, and greatly increase her chances of winning over the handsome man in the future.

In short, whatever the outcome, it will benefit them, so why not?

Dark psychology is a theory.

Unfortunately, after Miura Yumiko changed her target, their plan is likely to fall through.

No, it's not exactly a complete failure, since Miura Yumiko has decided to remain friends with Hayama from now on, and they are no longer competitors.

In a sense, they did achieve their goal?

Chapter 92 Seeking advice from Lin Qianshu?

"Why has your Service Club started practicing tennis? Have you changed careers?" Miura Yumiko subtly probed for information; she had come here alone specifically for this.

Yuihama, completely unaware of Miura Yumiko's unusual behavior, confessed everything without any warning.

"No, we're handling a commission."

"Process the request?"

"Xiao Cai asked us to give him special tennis training."

"Hmm... but why does it feel like they're getting more energetic over there?"

Yumiko Miura glanced at Chiki Hayashi running in the distance, then at Hikigaya nearby, who was listlessly feeding balls to Totsuka, and asked with a strange expression.

Actually, Hikigaya and Totsuka were also very serious, but everything is subject to comparison. Compared to Hayashi Chiki and Yukinoshita's group, this group seemed more like playing house...

"Well... I'm not too sure either. It seems like Lin and Yukino made another bet," Yuihama said, scratching her head.

"A bet? Again?" Miura Yumiko keenly caught the key words.

Yuihama said with some uncertainty, "Well, before it was betting on results, now... it should be betting on tennis?"

Miura Yumiko pondered: "So, you mean we were tied before, and now we have to settle this with a decisive victory?"

"probably?"

"I understand."

"Huh? Yumiko, what did you just say?"

"It's nothing, you can continue." Miura Yumiko said goodbye.

Unaware of what was going on, Yui Hama could only wave and say to Miura Yumiko, "Oh, okay, see you later."

"see you later."

Yumiko Miura gave a deep look at Chiki Hayashi and Yukinoshita on the field, then turned and left.
