July 1st.

As the desk calendar turns a new page, summer is gradually coming.

It’s early summer again, Kurosawa’s favorite time of the year.

The sun is bright, but not too hot.

Under the warm sunshine, the shadows of the trees along the street sway gently.

On the sidewalk, there are elderly people walking their dogs in the morning and working-class people walking briskly.

Two children grabbed soda and ice cream and played cards in the open space in front of a convenience store.

Kurosawa glanced at it, and saw what appeared to be various elves painted on it.

The nightmare in his body became a little greedy when he saw the ice cream in their hands.

He kept conveying his coquettish and coy mood to him. Kurosawa couldn't bear the teasing and teasing, so he had to stop and walk to the freezer outside the convenience store to pick out ice cream for him.

"I use the Great Spinal Bee, which is Ji Qingwen's elf. You can't beat me."

"I'm still playing Dudu Bird. Did you watch Kurosawa's game? Dudu Bird is invincible!"

"Are you kidding me? Kurosawa can beat Ji Qingwen?"

"Kurosawa is the strongest! Kurosawa is the strongest!"

"Ji Qingwen is stronger!"

"Elites are better than positions. Don't you understand such a simple thing?"

"It's a profession, and you don't understand, Hei Ze!"

"..."

Kurosawa was still choosing ice cream when two children playing elf cards behind him suddenly started arguing.

Unknowingly, the topic turned to myself.

Kurosawa raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled faintly.

It is a very magical experience to suddenly hear your own name on the roadside.

This is also because the summer league is approaching.

July 4th is the first day of the auditions for the Haitang Summer League, and there are only a few days left.

Therefore, every day on Haitang's various TV and radio programs, there are various warm-up topics about the summer games, programs analyzing popular players, etc.

As the recent spring championship winner of Haitang, the youngest champion in Haitang's history, the Big Demon King of Dudu Bird, coupled with the elf and his own superior external conditions, although Kurosawa does not give interviews as frequently as some players, he is still popular and discussed.

He is always not low, and there are quite a few people who are not in the arena, but the arena is full of the meaning of his legend.

Yesterday, Ji Qingwen praised Kurosawa in an interview with Haitang TV.

Lin Daqing, Zeng Shi and others also expressed on many occasions that they would "revenge" Kurosawa.

Whether they admire him or hate him, they all seem to like to cue him when he participates in the show.

The traffic password belongs to yes.

As the saying goes, scholars look down upon each other, but a highly confrontational profession like the elf master is not much better.

Unless they are beaten head-on, who would directly admit that they are inferior to others at the same level?

This is the case with Kurosawa.

The number of participants in the spring competition was small, and many professional-level players were not in Haitang City at that time.

Because after last year's winter competition and spring break, many professional players will choose to go out to practice and improve their strength.

And although the competition intensity in the spring competition is low, it is easier to get tickets to participate in the provincial competition than in the summer and winter competition. However, in Haitang City, not every player aspires to the provincial competition.

Even if a player from a small city gets a ticket to the provincial competition, he or she is still someone else's experienced player in the provincial competition. It would be very embarrassing to be beaten in the first round of the provincial competition.

Many professional players who did not participate in the spring competition may not be very convinced of Kurosawa.

Some media outlets that are keen on creating conspiracy theorists believe that Kurosawa's spring crown is the result of the official creation of a god by the Begonia Alliance.

Moreover, the content they fabricated was very detailed and looked realistic, just like the real thing.

Why create gods?

Because the Haitang League has had no results for many years, its performance in the provincial competition was a mess.

The league feels that it cannot continue like this. The results will be poor and the number of viewers will inevitably decrease, which will affect sponsorship.

Sponsored advertising revenue is very important for a small league like Haitang. With so many employees in the Haitang League, just regular salary payment is a big expense, as well as various other expenses. The allocation from the main league alone is obviously not enough.

.

However, it is unrealistic to suddenly raise the upper limit of the Haitang City League in a short period of time, and there is indeed a gap with other players in the provincial competition.

What should we do? Create a genius. Just like Lin Daqing a few years ago, he advocated the theory of talent, so that local viewers who support the Haitang League should not be discouraged.

Our Haitang League is not in a bad state. Since this year’s players are not good, let’s wait a few more years and wait for new talents to grow up, and they will surely make a breakthrough in the provincial competition.

He is still young and has a promising future, and he will definitely shine in the future.

Don't tell me, the audience really liked this.

The number of Lin Daqing's fans has grown rapidly in the past few years. It was only in the past year or two that the popularity of Lin Daqing has stagnated at the professional level, and his popularity has slowly subsided.

Therefore, Kurosawa can easily be considered by interested people as the second person to take over the Haitang Alliance rookie program after Lin Daqing.

In addition, the spring finals process was so fast that it was almost unreal.

Except that the first round collision between Nightmare Mayfly and Archaeus took a while.

As soon as Little Shining appeared, he was almost instantly killed in a series of three.

Some people think that the alliance allowed Lin Daqing and Kurosawa to act opposite each other, so they are newcomers who have just been promoted to the professional level, but they can defeat the established professional level overwhelmingly. Such a "horse-grabbing" plot can instantly create a rising star.

It can inject new vitality into the stagnant Haitang Alliance.

In addition, there are many rumors circulating that the current minister of the Haitang Alliance has a very close relationship with Kurosawa.

Kurosawa is a high-ranking official, and with the authority of the alliance minister, it is not difficult to make Lin Daqing bow his head.

When Kurosawa was in a daze.

The quarrel between the two children behind him has reached a fever pitch, and their faces are red.

"Brother, tell me, is it Kurosawa Qiang or Ji Qingwen Qiang?"

The two children came to Kurosawa's side and were in a stalemate, ready to let him seek justice.

"..."

Kurosawa looked at the two pairs of sparkling eyes, the expression under the mask was a bit complicated, and paused.

"They're all pretty strong."

"Don't mess with us."

"Who is stronger?"

"..."

"It should be Ji Qingwen." Kurosawa said with a bitter smile.

In fact, he is not very clear about his current strength.

Two transitional elves, at least elven masters below the elite level, he didn't think anyone would be his opponent.

Moreover, he has never really fought against elites, nor has he really used his full strength.

Even when he fought Gao Yi, he still had some strength left.

After recent training, his strength has improved a lot compared to then.

Is there a gap between my current strength and the elite level? I'm afraid it needs to be tested in actual combat by how much.

"Wuhu! I win! I'll just say Ji Qingwen is the strongest. Give me the card!"

"I won't give it to you. You're stupid. Who is this person sending it to? Why does he just do what he says? He doesn't understand Kurosawa at all!"

"You're cheating, right? Didn't you just agree to let others decide?"

"A little bit."

Kurosawa scratched his head.

There is actually a child who understands himself better than he does.

Seeing that the two children had entered the stage of scolding and rebounding, his expression was complicated. After a moment of silence, he went into the store to pay the bill and left.

He will be wandering on the streets today, not because he is lazy, but because the training room at Haitang Base is occupied by other elf masters.

He was going to borrow the training room at Ji Qingwen's private club.

I passed by the Senli Club and went in to see the former students of the same period.

...

Senli Club front desk.

The standing air conditioner beside me whirred out air-conditioning.

Feng Zhu held his chin in boredom and chatted with a female student to pass the time.

The recently hired coach is less strict than the previous one.

In addition, a group of students left during the handover, and the club became much deserted.

Even though the boss put up a banner some time ago and wanted to use Kurosawa's name to promote the club, the results were mediocre.

Everyone is not stupid. If the club is really that good, why haven't the other students changed at all?

Kurosawa is amazing. It can only be said that his personal talent is outstanding and it is difficult for ordinary people to copy it.

"so boring......"

"It's like this in summer." Feng Zhu said one after another. "But there are indeed a lot less people coming to the club recently."

"The new coach is not good enough."

The female student curled her lips and said.

"Speak softer, otherwise it won't be good if someone hears you." Feng Zhu smiled bitterly.

"Everyone knows what this is," the female student said fearlessly. "It can't teach anything useful at all. If it wasn't close to home, I would have run away."

"Forget it, let's not mention this. Sister Xiaozhu, please tell me more about Xiaohei."

"Did he really stay at our club?"

The female student moved a stool over and turned to Feng Zhu.

"How can this be false?"

"Isn't he more handsome in real life than on TV?"

"I prefer to describe him as cute rather than handsome, haha. To this day, I still remember how he looked when he first came to the club."

"Is that so? I really envy you, Sister Xiaozhu. I wish I had come here half a year earlier."

The female student didn't know what she thought of, and a wine-colored blush appeared on her cheeks.

"Kurosawa." Feng Zhu suddenly spoke, without starting or ending.

The female student looked up at her in confusion and saw her standing up from the high stool.

"Long time no see, Sister Xiaozhu."

Suddenly a clear voice sounded from behind, and the student was startled and almost fell off his seat.

She turned around.

I saw a handsome young man who was neatly dressed.

The face was familiar yet unfamiliar. The hair hanging down from his forehead swayed slightly under the blowing of the air-conditioning. The black pupils shone brightly, and even the eyes seemed to be able to speak.

Her brain suddenly went blank, and her head was like a pot of water that was gradually boiling, bubbling.

"Are you...are you...Little Heizi?"

Kurosawa looked at the red-faced girl in front of him and nodded slightly.

"Hello."

"Why are you here?" Feng Zhu had a surprise smile on his face.

Looking at Kurosawa, she blinked.

Compared to Kurosawa who first joined the club, he is completely different now.

His temperament has become much more confident, and he is a head taller than her.

She hadn't seen Kurosawa for a long time.

Although there is Kurosawa's WeChat account, there is almost no contact since there is no club as a link.

The most recent contact was after the spring game. She sent a congratulatory message and had a brief chat with Kurosawa.

"Nothing special, I just want to come see Sister Xiaozhu and coach you."

"Coach Wang has resigned and returned home."

"Resigning so soon? How is he preparing for the exam?"

"Then I don't know. I haven't contacted him for a long time."

Kurosawa was a little emotional after hearing this.

In the blink of an eye, everyone who was once familiar with each other went their separate ways.

He looked at the decoration in the hall.

Many of his photos are hung in exquisite frames on the walls.

In the photo, he stands without a smile among many students at the same time, looking dull.

There are also several photos of training doodle birds.

Taking training photos for him is not special care for him. The club will take some photos for each student, some of which will be used as future promotional materials, and some of which are just for ordinary records.

Among the several photos, the most energetic one is of him after he won the minor championship in the club for the first time, with a faint smile on his face.

"My boss asked me to hang these photos. You don't mind, right?"

Finding Kurosawa staring at the photos on the wall, Feng Zhu shyly stuck out his tongue and clasped his hands in front of him.

"It's okay, it's fine. It's just that I look a little silly in this photo."

"There are too few photos, but with Aze you have them all hung up." Feng Zhu explained. "And it's not stupid at all. It's so beautiful. Many people who visited especially liked this one."

"Haha, is there anyone else here to visit?" Kurosawa pursed his lips and smiled.

"Of course there is. Many reporters came to us for interviews before. After many of your fans learned about it, they wanted to come here to see the club environment you stayed in before. What do they call this? Holy... Holy Land

Pilgrimage.”

...

After chatting with Sister Xiaozhu at the front desk for a long time, Kurosawa walked into the outdoor training field at the foot of the back mountain.

There are very few people at the training ground.

The coach didn't know where he was.

Only a few teenagers were borrowing training devices to practice their elf skills.

In the past few months since he was gone, the club's students had changed a lot.

There was only one student left who Kurosawa could name, and he was training his elf in the tire ring area not far away.

When Kurosawa was looking at the training ground, the student happened to glance at him. After noticing him, the expression on his face first showed surprise and then turned to embarrassment.

After calling his elf to stop, he hesitated for a moment and walked towards Kurosawa.

"Hello, Kurosawa."

Li Cun raised his hand awkwardly and waved it stiffly in the air a few times.

Half a year ago, he and Kurosawa were brothers in need.

Due to the weak strength of the elf, he is always a first-round player in the daily internal training matches of the club.

However, because he came to the club earlier than Kurosawa, and because Elf Sarof can fly and glide, it was easy to defeat Kurosawa.

And sometimes, if he wants to vent his stress, he will deliberately let Sharov play with the dud bird.

Now that I see Kurosawa again, everything has changed.

He was still a small person doing the same training in the club, but the other party had already become Haitang Chunguan and became famous throughout the city. He didn't know if the other party had any grudges in his heart.

Kurosawa stared at Li Cun and said with a smile after a long time.

"Brother Cunzi, the food has been good recently, and I seem to have gained a lot of weight."

He couldn't remember many of the things that happened at the Senli Club clearly. Of course, even if he remembered, he wouldn't take it to heart.

Compared with the villains like Gongsun Kui and Gao Yi encountered in the wild, the friends in the past all looked very cute.

When he was immersed in training in the secret room, he would suddenly miss the youthful time of training together. He looked at the sky and the clouds, unwilling to be defeated, and wanted to reverse the mood of defeating others.

Li Cun also breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed the smile on Kurosawa's face.

"I'm a little fatter, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, I'm not as handsome as you, Aze. Fat or thin doesn't matter to me."

"Ha ha."

Kurosawa calmly pressed the flash card in his pocket, stopping the little Shining from thinking about coming out of the flash card.

The little flash inside felt the familiar environment and opponent, and his mood suddenly became active. The excitement and excitement surged.

It's funny to say that no matter whether it faced Lin Daqing's Earth Horn, Leng Spider, or Gao Yi's grotesque insect, it had never expressed such an excited emotion.

The emotions aroused by these powerful elves were far less than those of the entry-level lizard-shaped Sharov in front of him.

After all, it was an opponent that he had been thinking about and defeating for several months, and the meaning in Duduniao's heart was different.

Although Kurosawa could understand Little Shining's mood, he did not allow it to come out. He could not let the elf do it, he had to take care of other people's emotions.

In the Morili Club, Kurosawa and Li Cun reminisced about old times, and then took photos with other student coaches who looked like fans.

Before leaving, he briefly taught some training methods to other students. Although he personally felt that it was not very useful, he could not withstand everyone's enthusiasm.

He walked out of the Senli Club and looked at the blue sky.

"Come on for the summer competition."

Sister Xiaozhu at the front desk came out and shouted at his back.

Kurosawa raised his arms, waved his hands, and walked towards the sun.
Chapter completed!
