Mitsui Shou raised his head slightly and sighed in his heart.
"What a tall guy!" After a brief moment of daze, Mitsui Shou came back to his senses and asked curiously:
"Who are you? Do you know me?"
Mitsui Shou didn't expect that this sneaky guy actually knew him, and looked at Wu Dao suspiciously.
"Um, my name is Jinguji Takeshi, and I'm a freshman at Takeishi Junior High School."
"I just came to school today. I came to the gym hoping to join the basketball club."
"My father's name is Wu Gong, and Uncle Mitsui Tomoaki is a very good friend of my father."
Wudao introduced himself seriously, but his eyes were wandering on Mitsui Shou, which made Mitsui Shou's scalp tingle.
"Could this guy have other hobbies?" Thinking of this, Mitsui Shou got goosebumps, but he quickly noticed what Wudao said before.
"Jinguji? Are you the boy from the Jinguji family?"
"My father told me about you."
“I can’t believe…”
Mitsui Shou didn't expect that he would meet the other party under such circumstances. Jinguji's rare surname was too unique, and his father only told him once and he remembered it. Mitsui Shou thought that his father was talking to him about an ordinary freshman, but he didn't expect that the tall boy in front of him was actually the Jinguji Budo his father mentioned.
The other person is a freshman in junior high school, but his height cannot be described as "ordinary" in any way.
"Yes, I'm Jinguji Budo. I was delayed by something before and just came to school today."
"Mitsui Shou-senpai, please take care of me~"
Although Wudao came from a time travel and was much older than Mitsui Shou in his heart, he did not feel any psychological burden when he called him "senior". He even felt a little excited in his heart and his tone was a little teasing.
How does the saying go, a man stays a boy until he dies? When he saw Mitsui Shou actually appear in front of him, he could not contain his joy. That kind of surprise was as happy as when he saw Ultraman at the comic convention (*^▽^*)!
"Since you plan to join the basketball club, then come in with me."
Mitsui Shou felt his scalp tingling when he was looked at by Takeshi. He didn't want to be alone with Takeshi, so he immediately pointed towards the gate of the gymnasium and motioned Takeshi to follow.
The basketball team of Takeishi Junior High School is a well-known strong team in the county. Every year, many elementary school students from various schools in the county are admitted to Takeishi Junior High School and join the basketball team.
The recruitment season every year is the busiest time for the basketball team. Now that more than ten days have passed since the start of the new semester, the basketball team has actually already passed the recruitment stage for the new semester and is now in the stage of intensive training and selection.
Therefore, when Wudao followed Mitsui Shou to the basketball hall, many basketball team members gathered towards the basketball hall. When they gathered and lined up, there were more than 60 people in the entire basketball team.
Wu Dao was arranged by Mitsui Shou to sit in a rest area on the side, and was watching the assembled basketball team with boredom.
"The basketball team of Takeishi Junior High School is so short~"
Wudao looked at the basketball team that was gathering. He saw that no one was taller than him. There were only two people over 180cm. At the front of the team was an elegant middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. Judging from the way he spoke, he should be Wushi's coach, Masaru.
"I remember Takeishi's coach was a middle-aged fat man. Where did this elegant middle-aged man come from?"
"He looks like a well-mannered villain..."
Just as Wudao was muttering, he suddenly saw the coach waving at him. Seeing this gesture, Wudao looked around, and after making sure that there was no one else, a smile appeared on his face and he walked towards the basketball team.
"Hello, coach, you called me?"
Wu Dao asked with a smile, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him. It was a little hard to see clearly from a distance, but when he got closer, he realized that the elegant coach in front of him was really strong.
He was probably about 175cm tall and was wearing a well-fitting blue suit. Although the suit was well-fitting, when the coach waved at Wudao, Wudao could clearly see that the suit was stretched tight!
This is obviously the result of reaching a certain level of fitness.
While Wu Dao was surprised by the coach's figure, his tall stature and handsome looks also caused some commotion. The boys in the basketball team were whispering to each other, and some girls from the volleyball and basketball teams in the distance were also glancing over here.
"Wow! What a tall center!"
In the queue, one team member seemed to have trouble controlling his voice and shouted out.
The exclamation from the queue was quite loud, and many people looked over. Even Wu Dao himself looked at the young man who had just exclaimed with a strange look.
If he hadn't known that the young man was lowering his head with a red face, Wu Dao would have thought that the other party was mocking him.
That's right, sarcasm.
A height of nearly 185cm is certainly tall in Japan in this era, but in the past, the center height of some stronger elementary school basketball teams in prefecture-level cities might be as high as 185cm, and there were also many junior high school students around 13 years old with forwards over 190cm in height.
The average number of netizens on DouY is 2m per person.
Among the young players in his previous life, Wu Dao's height was only acceptable in the forward team, but not at the top.
"Mitsui Shou told me that you are a freshman at Takeishi Junior High School? Are you planning to join the basketball team?"
"Although it's past the time to recruit players, if you really want to join the basketball team, I can make it happen."
"Of course, whether or not you can stay in the team will still need to be decided after the training camp selection."
At this time, the sturdy, elegant, and incongruous coach said to Wu Dao. While speaking, the coach looked Wu Dao up and down, with a little excitement in his eyes.
"What a tall boy, he must be about 187cm tall, right?!"
He has been a coach for many years. When he first saw Wudao, he realized that Wudao would become the trump card of their Takeishi Junior High School basketball team! Just by looking at Wudao's face, the coach knew that Wudao had not yet developed. A child with such a high height in the first grade of junior high school, wouldn't that be like slaughtering a pig in the junior high school basketball world
"Uh... hello, coach."
"I do want to join the basketball team."
Wudao's gaze returned to the coach, but the coach in front of him seemed awkward no matter how he looked at him. He was obviously a strong man, but he pretended to be an intellectual and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. This strange sense of incongruity made Wudao couldn't help but look at the coach a few more times.
"Here we go, this guy really has strange tastes. He even doesn't let the coach go!"
Mitsui Shou was in the queue, looking at the way Wudao was looking at his coach, and he felt a chill in his heart and shuddered.
The coach obviously didn't think as much as Mitsui Shou, and when he heard that Wudao really wanted to join the basketball team, he couldn't help but smile. He casually pulled Wudao to his side, patted Wudao's arm and announced:
"Okay, from today on, this student will officially join our Takeishi Middle School basketball team."
"Come on, introduce yourself to everyone!"
As the coach was speaking, Jinguji Budo was in a daze. It was because when the coach told him that he had officially joined the basketball team, a voice rang out from the depths of his soul and echoed in his mind.
"Activation conditions have been met!"
