"Look, look, Takeishi Junior High School Judo Club."
"Join us and see the scenery at the top!"
In the corridor of the first-grade teaching building of Takeishi Junior High School, a young man with a crew cut and wearing a judo uniform posted a self-made poster on the blackboard in the corridor and started shouting loudly.
His shouting attracted the attention of many new students. Some interested boys stopped and asked questions, while many girls secretly looked at the tall boy standing next to the crew cut boy.
Jinguji Budo, who was standing next to the crew cut boy, was too conspicuous in the crowd. His tall stature and handsome face could easily leave a deep impression in people's minds.
Wudao also took part in the judo club's recruitment activities together with other members, but while his members were shouting and talking to the new students who came to inquire, Wudao was leaning against the wall, his eyes wandering between the young men and women passing by.
The end of the corridor suddenly became noisy. The girls along the way seemed to have seen something extraordinary and rushed to the end of the corridor.
All of a sudden, the crowd at the Judo Club's recruiting place became much more relaxed. Many freshmen were attracted by the commotion and ran over curiously to see what was going on.
"Eh? What happened over there? Why did all these people leave suddenly?"
The buzz cut boy looked at the commotion in the distance, quietly walked to Wudao's side, and curiously looked around. The buzz cut boy was only average in height among junior high school students. There were people gathered at the other end of the corridor, and he didn't know what was going on.
But Wudao was different. He stood out among the crowd like a crane among chickens. Looking around, his vision was not obstructed at all.
"The basketball team is here. I didn't expect that Xiao San would be the captain this year. The enrollment has become so innovative."
Wu Dao smiled and shook his head, speaking in a low voice.
Not long after he finished speaking, Mitsui Hisashi, wearing a white jersey and holding a large flag in his hand, led the basketball team and walked towards the bulletin board.
Mitsui Shou was holding the pennant that the basketball team won when they won the county championship in the summer season last year. At this time, Mitsui Shou took the pennant out of the school's honors display room and used it to advertise the basketball team's enrollment.
Not to mention, Mitsui Shou, holding the banner, instantly attracted the attention of many freshmen. His attention directly overshadowed all other recruitment clubs present.
Mitsui Shou brought everyone to the bulletin board. Without even glancing at Wu Dao, he gave a look directly to Chiba Daishi beside him.
With instructions, Chiba Daiishi took out a large poster from somewhere and started to post it on the bulletin board. His posters were so large that they occupied half of the small bulletin board.
However, Chiba Oishi was quite sensible. He did not cover up some posters that had been posted for a long time, but just moved them to a new position. However, even so, the basketball team's practice of posting posters was somewhat overbearing.
"We are from the basketball club!"
"All students who want to play basketball can join us!"
"Last year, our Takeishi Junior High School basketball team won the county championship. This year, our goal is to dominate the country!"
Under the gaze of everyone, Chiba Oishi was not at all stage fright. He directly shouted out the slogan he had prepared long ago, without feeling embarrassed or ashamed at all.
Other clubs come to recruit students, but Chiba Daishi is more like an announcement, or an introduction. Many freshmen were surprised by the basketball team's move, and some middle school boys were inspired by Chiba Daishi's words, and even though they didn't know what basketball was, they immediately stepped forward to ask.
Suddenly, the notice board was filled with freshmen who wanted to join the basketball team. No matter what club it was, the title of champion of the county competition was quite useful.
There are countless schools in Kanagawa Prefecture, but there is only one champion in the prefectural competition every year. The champions of many sports events are also old and strong teams. Many students in Japan, from elementary school to university, may not have the opportunity to participate in a prefectural competition, let alone win the championship of the prefectural competition.
Mitsui Shou looked at the freshmen who were enthusiastically signing up in front of Chiba Daishi, and nodded with satisfaction. Then he handed the banner to a team member and silently came to Wudao's side.
Mitsui Hisashi, who was promoted to the third grade this year, has grown a little taller. Although Mitsui Hisashi is one year older than Takeshi, he has not yet grown this year, and his height increase is not much, only growing to 173cm. Standing next to Takeshi, he is half a head shorter than Takeshi and only reaches Takeshi's chin.
"How about it, martial arts, my method is not bad."
"There are more people signing up this year than your class."
Mitsui Shou was obviously very satisfied with the results and said with a smile.
“It’s a good method. I hope we can add some potential players this year.”
"Speaking of which, after collecting the registration information, the basketball team should gather for a practice match to test the waters, right? When will it be held?"
Although Wudao is now the president of the Judo Club, he has never given up his basic basketball training this year. In his spare time, he often participates in the basketball team's internal practice games. Wudao is also very curious about the strength of the new players in the basketball team this year. He himself cannot participate in the county competition with the team, but it does not prevent him from hoping that the basketball team can achieve a good result.
"That hasn't been decided yet. The freshman assembly will be at 3:30 pm, so you should come directly after that."
"It's a good opportunity for me to test your current strength."
Mitsui raised his head slightly, looked at Wudao, and said with a smile. Although Wudao had quit the basketball team, the relationship between Mitsui and Wudao had not changed. Wudao had participated in very limited team training after quitting the basketball team, which also led to Mitsui not knowing Wudao's current strength.
During the holidays, Mitsui had also looked for Budou, wanting to practice basketball together, but Budou was always not at home. When asked, he found out that he was practicing judo. Therefore, Mitsui's impression of Budou's basketball level still remained a few months ago.
"Well, I'll come over after I arrange things for the Judo Club."
"Speaking of which, there's a guy who will be joining the basketball team this year. He's an outstanding guy. I think you'll need him for the tryouts for the county tournament this year."
Wu Dao folded his hands in front of his chest, looking at the freshmen who signed up enthusiastically, and was secretly happy. The addition of newcomers is a good thing for the development of the basketball team. Fresh blood represents possibilities. Moreover, Wu Shi won the county championship last year. This year, many people will come here to join the team. The strength of the freshmen is worth looking forward to.
More importantly, there is a guy who can definitely bring huge help to Wu Shi!
"An outstanding guy? Who? Where? If you say he's outstanding, I'll have to take a closer look."
Mitsui Hisashi had some understanding of Takeshi's character. Although this guy was not on the basketball team, he had a very high standard for judging people. After playing in Takeishi Junior High School for so long, there was no one else who could be described as an outstanding player by Takeshi except Mitsui Hisashi.
"It's coming, look there."
Wu Dao was about to say something when he saw a young man at the end of the corridor. The boy had long bangs that covered his eyes. He was wearing a black school uniform, holding a backpack in one hand and a basketball on his waist, and was walking towards here.
