Release the Dog Yujiro vs. the Unbeatable Golden Spear Kuroki

"Knock knock!"

"Luo Hao, is everything okay over there?" Yekaterina asked softly, tapping lightly on the bathroom door with her fingers.

"I... I'm fine, just feeling a little uncomfortable. I'll be fine soon." Luo Hao's voice came from the bathroom, with a hint of imperceptible heaviness.

……

The next morning, Luo Hao applied for a one-week leave from school, saying that he needed to fully prepare for the Rookie King Contest.

The school has always given great support to Luo Hao's professional boxing career. They expect Luo Hao to bring this honor back to the school, so they approved his request without hesitation.

When Luo Hao stepped into Yekaterina's ballet studio, he found that many female students gave him strange looks.

Whenever he looked back, the glances quickly turned into whispers.

"Did you see that? Brother Luo Hao's... seems to be more swollen than yesterday."

"Yeah, it's heartbreaking to watch. He must be feeling really uncomfortable."

At this time, Yekaterina walked out of the office and her eyes lingered on Luo Hao for a while, especially on a certain part where she stayed for a few seconds longer.

She seemed to want to laugh, but as a mentor, she quickly restrained her emotions and waved to Luo Hao: "Luo Hao, come here, I have something to tell you."

Luo Hao quickly walked up to Yekaterina, ready to listen to her teachings.

Yekaterina looked Luo Hao up and down, with a trace of concern in her eyes, but she quickly returned to the rigorous attitude of a professional instructor: "Luo Hao, your competition is coming soon, and time is running out.

Therefore, I have decided to increase the intensity of your training."

"In addition to yesterday's training, we will add a new exercise to today's training - standing on pointe with the help of handrails," Ekaterina announced solemnly.

When Luo Hao heard the new training content, his eyes sparkled with excitement: “Teacher Yekareena, this is great!

I can’t wait to try it.”

Yekaterina looked at Luo Hao's fighting spirit and smiled: "Okay, but before we start, we need to do some basic training first.

That is to use an elastic band to tighten the instep. This exercise will help you strengthen the instep muscles, which plays a vital role in completing the toe stand. "

When Yekaterina mentioned the elastic band, Luo Hao's face instantly turned red like an apple, and he was extremely embarrassed.

Seeing his expression, Yekaterina couldn't hold back her laughter and burst out laughing. Luo Hao also scratched the back of his head and laughed foolishly.

"Then, follow me and start doing the instep stretching exercise." Ekaterina's voice was soft and seemed to have a magical power that made people follow her guidance involuntarily.

She demonstrated the movements and Luo Hao stared closely at every detail.

First, she sat flat on the ground, gently hooked the soles of her feet with an elastic band, and then held the other end of the elastic band tightly with her hand.

Then, she used her ankles to move back and forth, making the instep of her feet sometimes tight as a string and sometimes relaxed as cotton under the traction of the elastic band.

"You see, this way you can effectively exercise the muscles on the instep of your feet." Ekaterina explained as she demonstrated.

He nodded, a determined look on his face, "I understand, this move looks simple." As he said that, he couldn't wait to start practicing.

Seeing that Luo Hao had mastered the key points, Yekaterina got up and left with peace of mind.

But when she turned around, she couldn't help but turned back and gave Luo Hao an encouraging smile, "You can do it, but you have to take it easy and don't be like yesterday."

Luo Hao sat alone on the ground, practicing the movement of tightening the instep over and over again.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the only thing in his world was the elastic band and his constantly moving ankle.

An hour later, he had mastered the movement skillfully.

Just then, Yekaterina appeared in front of him again.

In her hands she held a pair of white ballet shoes.

She gently placed the shoes in front of Luo Hao, "Luo Hao, put on your ballet shoes, and then we will go to the handrail to practice standing on pointe."

Luo Hao was delighted. He carefully put on the pair of white ballet shoes, then followed Ekaterina's steps and walked towards the handrail.

……

On the other side of the mirror, Luo Hao, although not a serious ballet dancer, was silently enduring the pain caused by standing on pointe.

Luo Hao's toes were like two thin needles, deeply embedded in the floor. Every time he raised and lowered his feet, he was fighting tenaciously against gravity.

The pain came like a tide, wave after wave, constantly challenging Luo Hao's endurance.

Luo Hao felt the skin on his toes being stretched, as if it was about to be torn apart. The pain went deep into his bones and was almost unbearable.

However, Luo Hao always gritted his teeth and persevered, because he knew that only through such hardships could he get what he wanted.

At this time, Yekaterina saw that Luo Hao could barely stand on his toes by holding the handrail with one hand, but Luo Hao did not look easy, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat as big as soybeans.

At this time, Ekaterina began to express her feelings and talked about her past and experience: "Pain is also a part of ballet, it makes me cherish every dance and spin more.

Only through such tempering and persistence can I become a real ballet dancer.

Therefore, I chose to face the pain bravely and water the flower of my ballet dream with my sweat and tears. "

When Yekaterina finished telling her story, Luo Hao's legs were shaking as if they were electrified, and it seemed that he would not be able to hold on in the next second.

But he did not give up easily. After all, he did not want to leave an impression of being weak-willed in front of Teacher Yekaterina.

So, Luo Hao put it down, stood it up, put it down, stood it up... He kept repeating this action in front of the mirror until Yekaterina asked him to stop.

“Luo Hao, you are so young, but I didn’t expect that you have the same strong willpower as my husband.

You will become a first-class boxer in the future, I have no doubt about it."

Yekaterina's compliment made Luo Hao feel a little embarrassed. "I am far from your husband, Volukkubi. He is the third-ranked featherweight player. He is someone I need to look up to."

Luo Hao made rapid progress. In just one day, he was able to stand on pointe on the auxiliary handrail.

The days passed one by one, and during these days, Luo Hao was always the first to arrive in the morning and the last to leave at night.

Under Yekaterina's strict training, Luo Hao finally managed to stand on ballet pointe without the help of his hands on the 5th day.

To commemorate this unforgettable moment, Luo Hao also put on a formal ballet skirt, held hands with the girls, posed in the classic ballet dance - the Four Little Swans, and took a group photo with a Polaroid camera.

Luo Hao left the girls his tickets for the second elimination match of the Rookie of the Year competition, and the girls happily agreed to go and cheer for Luo Hao.

Finally, Luo Hao bowed deeply to Teacher Yekaterina to express his highest respect.

In order to face Kitagawa Toshito, a super seeded player, Luo Hao has used all his skills to prepare for the battle. Who will win this battle?
