The volleyball club summer camp has officially begun.
The daily holiday schedule of the island country is different from that of the mainland. Middle school students here generally have three holidays a year.
They are spring break: from around March 15th to April 1st.
Summer vacation: from around July 15th to September 1st.
Winter vacation: from around December 20th to January 8th.
Therefore, the volleyball club's summer camp seemed a little late, but in fact it was at the beginning of the summer and everyone had already gathered at the school.
All the members of the Xianguo Volleyball Club gathered in the volleyball hall, everyone's face was full of excitement, even Akashi Asuka's eyes flashed with a little light.
After all, even in two lifetimes combined, this was his first time to participate in a 'summer camp.' This was something he didn't have in his previous life, because there was no summer vacation in middle school at that time.
Soon.
Shimokawa Santo walked in with a training watch in his hand and wearing short-sleeved pants. At the same time, Tanno Sahui was beside him.
This is also one of the necessary conditions for junior high school students to hold summer camps.
No matter how many students participate in the dormitory, the teacher must send at least two people to be responsible for the safety of the students.
When he saw Danno Sahui walking into the volleyball hall, Ohmae Masato was like a cat seeing a mouse, wishing he could hide his head in the ground.
Shimochuan Sandu stepped forward, glanced at everyone, and then said with a hint of satisfaction: "Okay, everyone is here! In this case, I declare that this year's summer camp has officially begun."
"Oh yeah!"
“Let’s have a big fight!”
"Wait for me, Beichuan No. 1 Middle School."
······
Training officially begins.
Since it has been decided to 'revenge' Kitagawa No. 1, the summer training plan cannot be compared with the usual club activities.
Although clubs also often train, in fact this kind of training is often mixed with entertainment and training at the same time.
The purpose of the summer camp is entirely to improve one's strength.
So just in the first training session of throwing balls, everyone felt a completely different intensity than before.
In the past, when padding the ball, two people would basically throw the ball to each other, or throw and pad the ball by themselves. The main purpose of this practice is actually to enhance the feel and proficiency of the ball.
But this training is completely different. It is completely training for practical purposes.
One person performs the smash, while the remaining players pass the ball across the net one by one. And the more critical point is that the person who performs the smash is Asuka Akashi.
So in the next period of time, the entire volleyball hall basically kept repeating a sound.
Bang bang bang bang bang...
"Next!"
Bang bang bang bang bang...
"Next!"
Bang bang bang bang bang...
"Next!"
······
"Damn it, as a teammate, I haven't felt it before. This guy's smash is really difficult to catch." Jujiro Kazama said after just catching ten balls and practicing a "fish jump" around the stadium.
Wiping the sweat from his face, he spoke.
"Indeed, with great power, fast speed, and precise placement, I now deeply feel how lucky we were to make it all the way to the fourth round in the last game." Kurata Cat, who was sweating profusely, also agreed.
Volleyball is a sport where "six players are stronger".
But perhaps it is also because there is too much emphasis on unity and cooperation, which often leads some team members to misjudge their true strength.
After losing to Beichuan No. 1, the members of Xianguo were still somewhat unconvinced. They felt that if they hadn't been unlucky enough to draw the wrong lottery, they would have gone further if they met any other team.
But as the summer training camp began, everyone suddenly realized that even if they were on the same team, the gap in strength between the members could be so big.
So far, except for Kurata Cat, who can occasionally catch a few balls, Akashi Asuka's spike has never been successful by anyone else.
Finished fifty balls.
Akashi Asuka then rotates with Ohmae Masato and Kazama Jujiro.
Obviously in this training camp, the coach intends to strengthen the offensive capabilities of the three main attackers, Akashi Asuka, Kazama Jujiro, and Ohmae Masato.
This fact coincides with Akashi Asuka's plan.
Because even if one day in the future, Akashi Asuka relies on the system to break the talent limit of all his data, under the same training intensity, the stronger will still be stronger.
That is to say.
No matter Akashi Asuka wants it or not, in the future, strength will always be his strongest point of talent.
However, the difference between Akashi Asuka's plan and Coach Shimokawa's plan is that Coach Shimokawa wants to strengthen his offensive power, so he must reduce the amount of training in other aspects.
But Akashi Asuka's own plan is "I want them all."
Whether it is basic physical fitness, six basic skills, or the study of advanced skills, he wants it all this summer.
Practice technique in the morning.
Do physical training in the afternoon.
Evening training match.
This is the rough timetable drawn up by Shimokawa Sandu.
It is during this kind of high-intensity training that the strength gap between Akashi Asuka and the rest of the volleyball club will quickly become apparent.
The technical training in the morning only made everyone realize that his smashing skills are very strong, but his other skills are still weak.
But after the physical training started in the afternoon, the differences in various physical qualities became almost visible to the naked eye.
In strength training.
Akashi Asuka's barbell weighs exactly twice as much as the others.
When doing core strength training, whether it is crunches or planks, the number of times and time should also be doubled.
During jumping training.
In training events such as step jumps, Akashi Asuka can perform at least 50% to 70% more sets than others.
The same goes for other aspects of speed and endurance training.
No matter which kind of training it is, Akashi Asuka will always train at least half more than others in the same amount of time.
This astonishing training intensity, not to mention the students, even the coaches were terrified when they saw it, fearing that Akashi Asuka would kill him on the spot if he was not careful.
Shimokawa Santo even wanted to forcibly interrupt Akashi Asuka's practice several times.
But when the training is over.
Shimogawa Santo saw others lying on the ground with their tongues hanging out like dead dogs. But Akashi Asuka could still stand and do relaxing exercises like a normal person, so he slowly gave up the idea of stopping him.
It can only be said that people and their physique cannot be generalized after all.
Some people's shovel will only become a tiger's snack.
But some people can push a tiger to death with a sliding shovel.
And in the evening, even if he was cooking in the cafeteria, Asuka Akashi could finish twice as much rice or even more than others.
In an instant.
Everyone felt an inexplicable sense of urgency coming from behind, as if they would be eliminated soon if they didn't work hard.
Flames suddenly ignited in everyone's eyes, and they all looked at Akashi Asuka who was eating a meal next to him.
