After the weekend training, Akashi Asuka added the newly obtained [Roll King Value] to the jumping attribute. With the advantages brought about by the physical development during this period, Akashi Asuka's current touch height has risen from 340cm to 343cm.

It seems that the increase is not very large, but for the high school stage, this is already quite an astonishing growth height.

After this period of training and competition, Akashi Asuka’s various attribute values ​​have improved slightly. The Volleyball Monthly praised Akashi Asuka as Miyagi Prefecture’s new "national ace". Island countries have always exaggerated their claims.

For example: the fierce tiger of the empire, the strongest man on the surface, etc.

But in fact, it is not a problem for Akashi Asuka to be called a "national trump card" now.

The top three attackers in the country may be a bit short, but the top ten in the country must be stable.

But this false name is very important to others, but to Akashi Asuka himself, the so-called "national trump card" has no meaning at all.

Because since the battle with Shiratorizawa, Akashi Asuka has found that his volleyball level seems to have fallen into a very embarrassing situation.

middle school period.

When Akashi Asuka just crossed over, because the basic quality of this body itself was very poor, in order to make up for his own weaknesses, he spent a lot of time training weak attributes.

And this kind of training continued until the high school stage, and finally before the start of the qualifiers, Akashi Asuka successfully eliminated all his weaknesses.

Apart from [passing], a skill that the main attacker basically does not use, other aspects are not very strong, but they are quite satisfactory.

But here lies the problem.

At the beginning, Akashi Asuka also thought that his training method would allow him to develop in the direction of a hexagonal fighter.

But after the battle with Ushishima Wakari, he suddenly found that instead of being a hexagonal fighter, he has become a player with extremely mediocre attributes.

He lost his advantage.

At the beginning of the qualifiers, these problems were not exposed, because even when facing Wu Ye and other seed schools, Qingcheng almost won the victory with a crushing advantage.Akashi Asuka's own strength was not even brought into full play.

Until the appearance of Ushido Ruori.

In the battle against Shiratorizawa, it seemed that Qingcheng had won, and at the last minute, Akashi Asuka fought head-on with Ushishima Wakari for six rounds without losing the wind.

But Akashi Asuka knew very well that the biggest contributor to victory in this battle was not himself, but Oikawa Toru.

Because Oikawa Toru has been calculating Shiratorizawa from the beginning, which greatly consumed Ushishima Wakali's physical energy.Coupled with Chuan Toru's own superb setter skills, Akashi Asuka can barely compete with Ushishima Wakari.

If it was really one-on-one at that time, Akashi Asuka would definitely lose, and there was not even a chance of a comeback.

Because he doesn't have a strong enough breakthrough attribute.

"It's careless! Too much focus on 'avoiding weaknesses' and forgetting to 'enhance strengths'. And although the foundation is strong enough, the offensive methods are not diversified enough and lack of change..." Akashi Asuka sighed looking at the data panel.

Actually speaking, Akashi Asuka is not careless. The main reason is that there is not enough training time in high school. After all, he is not a professional player. Four hours is the sky.

In this case, it is normal for players to have defects in their own volleyball skills.

"There is less than a week before the national competition. Shiratorizawa's best result in the previous national competitions is the quarterfinals. In other words, there are still at least seven opponents like Shiratorizawa in the country. It's scary enough, and it seems that we have to find a way."

······
After training in the morning.

In the afternoon, Akashi Asuka met with the editor of the publishing house Xixia Wakayama to deliver the manuscript.

Because Akashi Asuka was about to leave for Tokyo to participate in the competition in the middle of the month, so in order to prevent it from coming back in time, Akashi Asuka stayed up late a few days ago to finish writing a new volume of novels.

During the recent period, other contracted authors of the publishing house have been under a lot of pressure, and the source of the pressure is Akashi Asuka.

Under normal circumstances, the interval between publishing each volume of a novel is almost one month, and if the manuscript can be successfully delivered within one month, it is considered a very diligent author.

But Akashi Asuka directly doubled the standard of diligence.

Including the fourth volume of the novel that is about to be handed over to Wakayama Xixia, on average, the time interval between Akashi Asuka's release of the novel is exactly one volume every half a month.

Because the time interval between Akashi Asuka's novels is very short, readers continue to read a lot, so the sales of "The Cautious Brave" also continued to rise during this period.

Yesterday, the publishing house just called Akashi Asuka for last month's manuscript fee, and the after-tax income was 436 million yen.

This manuscript fee is already an income that most island countries can hardly earn as a worker in a year.

Because of this, Akashi Asuka's status in the publishing house has become "other people's children".

the last few weeks.

The most frequently heard words in the ears of many contracted authors of the publishing house are: "Teacher xx, please take a look at the update speed of Teacher Asuka, and then look at yourself, you are no longer a child, and there are some things that I don't need to worry about." Remind me!"

Or: "Mr. xx, Mr. Asuka has updated again, why haven't your drafts been sent yet!"

Or: "Mr. xx, when I beg you, even if you don't consider your own manuscript fee, you should pity me as a little editor! I am in charge of the new editor of Teacher Feiniao. This month, because of Teacher Feiniao's update, Already got the bonus."

It is estimated that these old authors in their thirties, or even 50 years old, never imagined that their sons have already gone to college, and some of them are even grandparents. During the period, the fear of being dominated by "other people's children" once.

In the end these authors, at the urging of countless editors, had to wear masks of pain and were forced to introvert.

But Akashi Asuka, who was the chief culprit, still knew nothing about these at the moment.

"Teacher Asuka, long time no see!"

"Long time no see, Editor Wakayama, you've been in good spirits recently!" In the cafe, Asuka Akashi looked at Xixia Wakayama with a smile on his face, and said with a smile.

"Everywhere, I entrust Teacher Asuka to take care of it." Wakayama Xixia had just received a bonus recently, so he was naturally in a good mood.

Akashi Asuka was not overly polite, he just reached out and handed over the manuscript paper, Wakayama Xixia took it with both hands and glanced roughly, and then the smile on his face suddenly became brighter.

"It's really wonderful. Teacher Asuka's works are still the same as before. Not only are they updated quickly, but they are also very interesting!"

Wakayama Xixia's face was full of admiration. As Wakayama Xixia signed several new authors recently, she became more and more aware of the horror of Akashi Asuka.

At the same time, I feel more and more grateful for the shit luck that I once signed with Akashi Asuka.

After all, the results of those new authors are generally not mentioned, and the updates are slower than each other. Every time at the end of the month, Xixia Ruoshan has to run back and forth for at least dozens of kilometers just to press the manuscript.

Only now did he really understand why the senior editors in the previous publishing house were inconceivable that Mr. Asuka would submit the manuscript in advance.

Because it's really incredible.

"Since there is no problem with the manuscript paper, I will take my leave first. This time, I will trouble Editor Ruoshan to make an extra trip. Does Editor Ruoshan still have work?" Akashi Asuka got up and said.

"Where, Mr. Asuka has worked hard."

Wakayama Xixia hurriedly got up and said, "Actually, I'm just about to go out next time, because the original rented house has expired, so I plan to change to a house closer to the company recently."

"Really! Then again, I wish Editor Ruoshan that he can find his favorite place of residence."

When Wakayama Xixia mentioned renting a house, Akashi Asuka subconsciously thought of Sanhezhuang where he lived, but after thinking about it, Akashi Asuka still didn't speak rashly.

After all, he is still in the inspection period of the landlord, and he is not qualified to invite others.

After finishing the matter of the novel, Akashi Asuka bought some ingredients by the way, and then returned to Sanhezhuang.

······
the next day.

Qingcheng did not invite teams outside the school today, but held a practice match within the team.

"Iwazumi Sauce!"

Oikawa yelled, Iwaizumi took off decisively as soon as he got the order, and the two cooperated to play an A-style fast break and successfully scored points.

"Nice, that's a great buckle, Iwaizumi-chan!" Ji Chuanche excitedly wanted to give Iwaizumi a high-five, but he never expected that this time Iwaizumi not only failed to celebrate with Oikawa Toru, but silently backed away after he arrived Take a small step.

"(д;)..."

Oikawa Toru's expression froze instantly, Iwaizumi-chan, are you serious about taking a step back?
Iwaizumi looked at Toru Oikawa, struggled for a long time, and finally couldn't help but said: "Oikawa, can you...can you stop laughing so disgustingly?"

The rest hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, yes..."

Oi Chuanche was taken aback: "Oh? What do you mean?"

Iwaizumi: "Didn't you realize that you've been too excited lately? It's really out of character for such a sincere smile to emerge from your face."

Oikawa Toru was struck by lightning: "(Д)ノ!!····················································································································································································—

Everyone looked helplessly at Ji Chuanche who didn't care about him at all.

Since defeating Shiratorizawa.

The smile on Oi Chuanche's face has never stopped. Although He Chuanche often smiled before, it was just a "professional smile" at that time, but now this guy actually smiled.

It stands to reason that a person's sincere smile is often more touching than a fake one.

However, Ji Chuanche was an exception.

Maybe it's because his own heart is too dark. When Oikawa Toru made a "sincere smile", not only failed to impress the hearts of his teammates, but made people feel a chill.

It was okay for the first few days, but now it’s been a long time, not only can’t everyone get used to it, but the feeling of discomfort is getting stronger and stronger...

To this day, these people can't bear it anymore.

However, regarding this matter, Oi Chuanche had no self-knowledge at all, so when Iwaizumi spoke the truth, Oi Chuanche was hit hard immediately, and his whole person's painting style seemed to become dark: "It's too much~~嘿嘤, It's too much! Hey~~ How can you treat your teammates like this? Hey~~"

"Uh~~"

Seeing Oikawa Toru's pitiful appearance, Iwaizumi felt a little unbearable for a while.

Just when he was about to comfort Oikawa Toru without conscience, at this moment, Akashi Asuka suddenly said through the block: "By the way, Oikawa-senpai, do you know? Ushishima-senpai seems to have been selected into the U19 World Youth Team So although we defeated Shiratorizawa, to be precise, we still lost to Ushishima-senpai."

Oi Chuanche's sad expression froze suddenly.

next second.

He stood up slowly, put away his smile, and said seriously: "You're right, we haven't completely defeated that bastard Niu Ruo, and now is not the time to relax."

Seeing that Oikawa Toru finally returned to "normal", Iwaizumi and the others as teammates breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time secretly gave Akashi Asuka a thumbs up.

Well done, Akashi-kun!
