Uneasy daily life

"You can tell what kind of move it is just from the name," Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) remarked. "Haku-kun doesn't need to demonstrate..."

"Listen first, I guarantee it will be incredibly powerful."

The white figure cleared its throat and faced Yukino (Mai) at the foot of the snow.

"A white shadow!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka's voice, laced with hidden murderous intent, rang out.

Bai Ying was taken aback: "Huh? I haven't called yet."

From the crowd, Hiratsuka Shizuka peeked out with a slightly stiff smile, her eyes devoid of emotion: "The match time is up. You'd better give me a proper commentary, or come with me to the office to give your commentary."

"It's really amazing that White-kun's homeroom teacher is named like that." Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) teased, knowing when to stop. "Well then, that concludes the pre-match discussion. Next up is the match itself. The members of the Red and White teams will decide who serves first at midfield..."

Bai Ying quickly gave Hiratsuka Shizuka a few "okay" and "no problem" looks, then began to explain seriously: "The wind howled, fighting spirit burned, the red and white captains exuded powerful fighting spirit, staring at each other's weaknesses and concealing their own. Suddenly they increased their speed and chose to attack each other head-on—it was 'Insight'! White's captain Hayama used 'Insight', throwing out a powerful scissor hand, piercing through the red captain's 'Overwhelming Palm'! Alas, a move was lost, the initiative has been seized by the white team, can the red team still turn the tide?"

"You're so arrogant, this is just the beginning." Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) rolled her eyes. "It's not even at the most intense stage yet, there's no need to exaggerate like this."

"The game may not be intense, but the commentary must be. Times have changed." Bai Ying retorted logically. "No matter what the situation is like, the commentary must be powerful and loud. Betting, making pronouncements, attacking players, exaggerating the win rate, and creating buzz are not good commentary."

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) asked with interest, "Shall we make a gesture?"

"The Red Team didn't score a single point, a complete shutout, that's my opinion!" Bai Ying said fluently and eloquently, "There are twenty-two players on both sides, with the soccer club making up 70% and the White Team 50%. The White Team also has Hayama Hayato, the soccer club's ace! They have the skills, the teamwork, and the leadership. How could they let the other team score? Impossible! A professional commentator should dare to make judgments!"

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) rolled her eyes: "Watch your step, you're a member of Team Red."

"I'm waiting for someone on the field to collapse from exhaustion and their morale to crumble, so I can step in and lead the team to victory, proving the Red Team right," Bai Ying said with satisfaction. "You see, I've already written the script. Of course, I support the Red Team, it's just that my commentary skills are lacking..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka stood beside the table, a chocolate bar dangling from her mouth, and glanced at the strange white figure wearing a wig that looked just as odd as not wearing one: "Don't discuss anything outside of the competition. You better behave yourself."

"Ah, I almost forgot that the violent teacher also has long, straight black hair."

Bai Ying raised her hand and fiddled with her bangs, then turned her head and said, "The violent teacher's hairstyle is very similar to yours..."

boom!

He caught Hiratsuka Shizuka's probing punch, then looked at the court, his expression instantly turning serious: "The game is starting!"

"The match has officially begun. Four players remain on our side of the field, while seven White players rush across the halfway line and launch a fierce attack right from the start." Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) chuckled and began her commentary with seriousness. "A very aggressive style of play. The server kicks the ball powerfully towards the White half of the field. The ball is falling, and both teams are converging towards the predicted landing point..."

The slightly detached yet captivating voice was amplified by the speakers, and the explanation was clear and fluent, demonstrating a technically proficient narration.

The sound beneath the snow is beautiful and has a unique, slightly gritty quality; the speaker truly has a talent for broadcasting and narration.

As Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) thought of her colleague, a burst of intense flames seemed to explode in her ears.

"Powerful! Victory is certain! All-out offensive! What a tactic that utterly scorns the opponent! The Red Team is indeed determined to leave the White Team with a scoreless defeat by employing such tactics!"

Bai Ying raised his arm and spoke in a strong voice: "Just as expected! Hayama Hayato predicted the landing point, bypassed the opponent's defense, and gained possession of the ball—the members of the Red Team were bypassed one by one like wooden stakes, stiff and scattered like Uncle Tom upstairs who stayed home playing video games on Valentine's Day! Even a fool could tell that the White Team would rely on Hayama Hayato. This is an 11 vs 11 = 1 match! Kick Hayama Hayato down and we win!"

The roaring, howling beasts, along with the technicalists who offer situational and tactical analysis; the calmly analytical technicalists, along with the sarcastic and critical ones; and the well-researched sarcastic ones, along with the ruthless villains, all converge into an abstract style of explanation.

The planned tactics were indeed as described – if we gained possession at the start of the game, we would launch a sudden and fierce attack.

Firstly, the game has just started and the opponent may not be in the game yet. Secondly, scoring a goal at the beginning can damage the opponent's morale.

As Hayama Hayato listened to the commentary, the tactics they had discussed before the match flashed through his mind. He dribbled the ball quickly past one player, calmly looked up at the goal, and launched an attack.

"So fast! So fast! So fast! One after another, the red team players are being beaten by Hayama Hayato. The white team players are also blocking others from the side to create opportunities for Hayama Hayato. Hayama Hayato is charging forward with the ball! Hayama Hayato is charging forward with the ball! It's practically 10 against 1! Two red team players are trying their best to keep up, keep up! Hayama Hayato is unstoppable, he's in shooting range! The red team goalkeeper is panicking, trying to anticipate the shot. He hasn't shot yet, is he going to shoot, will he shoot or not..."

Bai Ying spouted wildly, "What an exaggerated scene! No wonder he's the tyrant of Soubu High School, manipulating the entire team like puppets to build his own glory! Right now, everyone on the field is the ace of the soccer club, here it comes! Here it comes! The goalkeeper and the striker are clashing like cowboys..."

Are you praising someone or slandering them?!

The moment Hayama Hayato couldn't help but respond in his heart, the soccer ball rolled half a step forward, and he raised his right foot and kicked it hard towards the goal.

The red team's goalkeeper instinctively took a few quick steps to the right, but didn't see the ball. He only saw Hayama Hayato's right foot, which had missed its mark, land firmly on the ground, and his left foot quickly kick the ball... Damn it! He'd been tricked!

boom!

The football hit the goalpost, traced an angled trajectory, and flew out of the field.

Bai Ying: "Ho ho, the red team's goalkeeper escaped with his life by the feet of General Yeshan, and is now one step further away from being the scapegoat in the post-match blame-sharing session."

Are you on the red team or the white team?

The red team's goalkeeper looked at the commentator's booth with a speechless expression, then shook his head and looked back at the field.

We need to keep a closer eye on Hayato Hayama.

"The White Team's attacking tactics unfortunately failed." Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) added the commentary during the gap in retrieving the ball. "Hayama did show great skill, but unfortunately his last shot went a little wide. The Red Team seems to be feeling the pressure, with two Red Team players closely marking Hayama."

"Muda muda muda! With the whole team's strength combined, Hayama Hayato will not fail!" Bai Ying retorted like a fanatic. "As long as Hayama Hayato gets the ball and launches an attack, everything will be alright!"

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) rolled her eyes: "Is this Haku-kun's cheerleading tactic?"

"That's right! The most fanatical fans in the world are the haters. Slander the haters, understand the haters, become a hater!" Bai Ying waved her hand and said, "Praise is useless. If the weak Red Team wants to win, the only way is to be ashamed and then brave—how can the mere Red Team, with its old, weak, sick and disabled members, withstand the might of General Ye Shan?"

Bai Ying boasted a few more times about how Ye Tiandi was invincible on the court, exuding an aura of dominance and dominance. She claimed that he only needed to use less than 10% of his strength to completely shut out the Red Team, win the cheers of the girls in the audience, and reach the pinnacle of life.

It's hard to tell which side the white figure is on.

Then Hayato Hayama was closely guarded by three players from the Red Team.

Chapter 43 This is the victory of chat flow

"The situation on the field is unfavorable for the Red Team. They are struggling to defend on their own side of the field. Player Hayama is being marked by three Red Team players and is having a hard time getting possession of the ball. The other players on the White Team are launching a full-scale attack. You can see that nine players have already pushed past the midfield line. Currently, player Tobe has possession of the ball, but he seems a bit hesitant... Does White-kun think that this attack by the White Team will be effective?"

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) gave a brief and serious analysis of the situation, then passed the topic to Shirokage and took a breather.

"Pass the ball! Pass it! What are you doing, Hubu? Quickly pass the ball to Hayama!"

Bai Ying slammed her hand on the table, shouting excitedly, "Don't hesitate! Don't waver! Hayama can do anything! Hubu is holding onto the ball, hesitating, probably trying to use it to his advantage, harboring rebellious intentions—is today the perfect day? Is Hubu ready to challenge Hayama's dominance in the soccer club..."

"Haku-kun, tone it down a bit," Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) reminded him. "You're the commentator for the Red Team."

"Too."

Bai Ying readily complied and repeated the lines from before in the voice beneath the snow.

The audience cast piercing glances, probably wanting to gag the white figure.

"Forget it, as the executive vice chairman, there's no need to get hung up on the red and white teams. It's more important to complete the sports festival smoothly." Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) rolled her eyes, letting the white shadow go, implying that the white shadow should let Yukinoshita go... The first day of the sports festival hasn't even ended yet, and Yukinoshita's character is almost ruined. Let's leave a little bit for now.

"After repeated revisions, it's still the original plan. You, as the superior, have already mastered some of the client's tricks."

Bai Ying scoffed and continued to watch the changing tides on the field. While the two commentators were bickering, Hu Buxiang, who was carrying the ball, was surrounded and blocked and had been pushed back to the vicinity of the boundary line.

Should you try to dribble past your opponent, break through their defense, and head straight for the goal, or look for a teammate and pass the ball to them?

Hobe Sho decisively kicked the ball sideways, sending it soaring into the air from near the boundary line towards where Hayama Hayato was.

Hayato Hayama, who was being watched by three people: "..."

The four men looked up at the falling football, their feet constantly moving.

At the crucial moment, the football team's ace lived up to his teammates' expectations. He once again demonstrated an even higher level of skill, quickly predicting the ball's trajectory. With a few feints and a sprint, he shook off his marker and leaped into the air, catching the falling ball with his chest in a way that surprised his opponents.

The moment Hayama Hayato landed, he dribbled the ball straight toward the opponent's goal, with the three red team players who had failed to mark him giving chase.

"Go for it, Hayato! Go for it!"

Yumiko Miura's cheerleading squad is cheering them on.

"The tyrant of the field has reclaimed his throne and is marching triumphantly toward the throne of victory!" The white figure stood up, cheering loudly, "Weak! Weak! Weak! The red team players have clearly overestimated their level and underestimated the strength of the tyrant of the field! With three people marking them, they're still thinking about whether they can show off. They're seriously underestimating Hayama's strength! Hayama is charging, charging! It's undoubtedly another one-on-one between the striker and the goalkeeper—!"

"Just inside the penalty area, a shot suddenly erupted! Luck no longer favored the red team's goalkeeper; despite his best efforts, he couldn't reach the ball and could only watch helplessly as it sailed over the goal, while he ended up with a pot on his head... In the 20th minute of the first half, the white team took the lead!"

Bai Ying clapped and said, "As expected of player Ye Shan, the absolute main force and core figure of Team White, you have always been highly anticipated and will not disappoint your teammates! I believe the outcome of this match has already been decided, and Team White, led by Ye Shan, will easily win. I am also looking forward to Ye Shan's wonderful performance!"

While it's normal and familiar to be expected of something by others, the fact that Bai Ying expressed such high expectations... makes me feel like there's something fishy going on!

Hayato Hayama muttered to himself, wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiled and waved to his teammates, clapped their hands to celebrate the goal, and swarmed off the red team's field to return to their own field to wait for the kickoff.

"Congratulations to Team White for scoring the first point. Keep up the good work!" Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) took a sip of water, taking over the relaxed moment. "Both teams are returning to their respective courts. Team Red is serving this time. I wonder if they can turn the tide..."

Bai Ying suddenly interjected, "Don't you have anything to say to the Red Team?"

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) calmly said, "Red team players, keep it up. The gap isn't big. Try your best to catch up."

Bai Ying immediately raised an eyebrow and said, "Wow! You're cheering for the Red Team, where does that leave the White Team?"

"Didn't I already congratulate Team White on their score?" Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) raised an eyebrow slightly, anticipating the outcome. "Does White-kun mean to say that I'm jumping between sides, supporting both, and therefore seeming insincere?"

"No, not at all," Bai Ying said solemnly. "I think you're just stirring things up for your own amusement."

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai): "Is Shiro-kun introducing himself?"

"I'm a die-hard fan of the White Team and a die-hard hater of the Red Team!" Bai Ying argued vehemently. "Look at you, on one hand you're telling the White Team to cheer and widen the gap, which basically means to kick hard, and on the other hand you're telling the Red Team to cheer and catch up, which also basically means to kick hard."

Bai Ying clapped his hands: "If we put these two sides together, won't that just mean a fight? Do you want to see rivers of blood? You still say you're not just stirring up trouble for your own amusement?"

"With just one word from Haku-kun, the audience is redefined." Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) aptly commented.

Bai Ying scoffed, "Huh? Then you define what an audience member is."

"The characters in a specific scene are all classified as secondary categories."

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) pondered for a moment, gave it a proper definition, and then noticed that the white shadow's expression was rather strange? Upon closer inspection, however, there was nothing strange about it.

Yukinoshita Yono (Yukino): "..."

I really want to find a time machine. There are some obstacles that Bai Jun has stepped on. He just keeps jumping back and forth without letting go, and he can even come up with new tricks for you!

"The red team kicks off, seemingly wanting to attack, passing the ball back and forth as they advance towards the white team's penalty area. The white team players are marking their opponents..." Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) steers the conversation back to the game, providing reliable commentary. "Hayama intercepts the ball! With a decisive and swift judgment, Hayama successfully retrieves the ball and quickly dribbles it across the center line, turning the white team from defense to offense."

"This isn't a switch from defense to offense; it's clearly a one-sided attack with no defense whatsoever. The Red Team has possession of the serve, and their pace is hesitant and erratic, passing the ball back and forth like they're afraid of taking the blame and don't dare to go forward. Is this what you call an attack? They're practically disregarding Hayama Ace!" Bai Ying immediately pointed and offered her unreliable commentary. "Today, defending is certain death, attacking is certain death, so why not just wait to die? Of course, all struggles are meaningless in front of Hayama Ace; his skills are no less than mine."

"You're too modest, Mr. Shiro," Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) teased. "Among the people I know, there really isn't anyone whose ball skills can compare to yours."

"So fast! So fast! Hayama is still trying to dribble past his opponent, but the red team's three-man defense is blocking his way relentlessly, completely ignoring whether he's feinting or not. They're just blocking his path, so Hayama has no choice but to find an opening to pass the ball." Bai Ying asked, "What do you think of Hayama's ability?"

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) pondered, "Whether it's popularity or strength, she's quite formidable. The fact that she's trusted by Captain White speaks volumes."

The White Team's tactics throughout the game consisted of only one thing: pass the ball to Hayama Hayato, find a way to pass the ball to Hayama Hayato, and create opportunities to pass the ball to Hayama Hayato even when there were none. In a high school team with little tactical thinking, the team's tactics were subtly presented with Hayama Hayato as the core.

Bai Ying nodded repeatedly: "Indeed, he's a very outstanding person, right?"

“Yeah.” Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) was a little confused, and joked, “In a way, it’s the complete opposite of Haku-kun.”

"There's nothing I can do, he's universally loved, and I'm universally loved."

Bai Ying couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hehehehe—!"

Yukinoshita Yukino (Mai): "?"

Why is the hater acting so strangely? Could it be that I've accidentally fallen for some kind of trick again?

Yukino Yukinoshita (Mai) narrowed her eyes, staring at the white figure who was talking loudly. She had many questions in her mind, and her feet were itching to step on someone.

Right now, both on and off the field, some people are itching to explode.

Inside the arena, Hayama Hayato was a little distracted. When did Yukinoshita learn to be sarcastic? Wasn't her usual way of being sarcastic and insulting? Could it be that she was actually praising him as some kind of "normie"? That's a bit strange…

"Hayato! Go for it! Hayato! Go for it!"

Miura Yumiko's cheers grew louder, as if she wanted to compete with Shirokage to see who could shout the loudest.

Offstage, Yukinoshita's father frowned in confusion. Hmm? What's going on? The Hayama family's child, who had already been removed from the list of traitors, is now facing a life sentence commuted to a death sentence? The little goddess has been acting strangely lately... or has he missed some important events affecting her again?

Afterwards, I'll go home and bring the Big Dipper constellation over, then stuff them all into the white fungus's room to kill the germs!

Yukino Yukinoshita had a completely expressionless face.

……

……

"It's Hayato Hayama! It's Hayato Hayama—what a pity! The opponent's despicable tactic worked its magic, blocking his escape route and forcing him to pass the ball to his teammate..."

Pressure +1.

"Pass the ball! Pass it to Hayama, let the Red Team see what an ace is all about!"

Pressure +1.

"As long as Hayama catches the ball, everything will be alright! Because it's Hayama-kun!"

Pressure +1.

Bai Ying's pointing and commentary, interspersed with Yukino Yukinoshita's (Mai) serious situation analysis, perfectly complemented the match, ensuring that the audience's ears were never idle. Even when the match was at a slower pace and there were no topics, the two could still put on some impromptu performances.

The players on the court are different; even at a leisurely pace, they unconsciously maintain a high level of focus.

Hayato Hayama was exhausted. He wiped the sweat from his face and quickly glanced around. His teammates in the distance were looking for an opening to pass the ball to him. The three red team players around him formed a solid triangle, ready to block him at any moment. Moreover, having learned their lesson, they wouldn't move around once they were blocked...
