Prince of Tennis: I am a manager at Hyotei

Long Ge hurried over and just happened to catch a bus that was about to depart.

"What a blessing."

The driver saw that it was a cute little girl and couldn't help but remind her, "Sit tight, the bus is about to leave."

"Okay, thank you, master."

I found a seat by the window, put on my Walkman, started the car, and watched the buses moving and stopping. Halfway through the journey, I received the news that Long Ya was about to take off.

Dialog box:

Long Ge: "Have a good trip."

I waited for a long time but didn't receive a reply from the other party. It seems that the plane has taken off and the phone is turned off.

In the training camp, Long Yue, who was fostered by Ji Bei, ate and drank heartlessly every day. Every time Ji Bei came back, he saw Long Yue lying in a big shape on his bed.

The training during these times was also hellish. I had to get up before dawn to train, and spent all my time in training except for meal times. I would come back late at night, and still force myself to send messages to Long Ge.

After driving for nearly an hour, we finally saw the platform outside the training camp.

Long Ge got out of the car, stretched his body which was a little numb from sitting, and twisted his neck.

I tilted my head to look out the window the whole way and my neck became stiff.

"Finally back. My neck hurts from sitting so much."

The platform was still some distance away from the training camp, so I sighed and obediently prepared to go over with my luggage.

After taking only two steps, a red figure came closer from afar. Squinting my eyes, I could not ignore the eye-catching golden hair.

Long Ge stopped and jokingly said, "Oh, how could I possibly deserve to have the No. 1 player of the Japanese team come pick me up in person?"

I greeted the coach in advance, thinking that at most the coach would be waiting for me at the entrance of the training camp, but something unexpected happened.

Byodoin stood in front of Longge.

"I thought you were too scared to come back."

In fact, Byodoin was more afraid that Long Ge would be taken away by Echizen Ryuga.

But it's okay.

"That's not the case. I'm a man of my words. If there weren't some people in the United States who I don't like, I might have gone there. I'll trouble you with the luggage, Byodoin-senpai."

Long Ge smiled and pushed the luggage in his hand over.

Byodoin calmly took the luggage, raised his arm, put it on his shoulder, and strode away.

Without the restraint of luggage, Long Ge exhaled happily, "It's still so comfortable. Oh, wait for me, Senior from Equalization Academy."

Even without the luggage, it would be difficult to catch up with Byodoin Temple ahead.

At the entrance of the training camp, several coaches were waiting here early after receiving Long Ge’s call.

Coach Saito placed his hand on his forehead and leaned forward. "Why hasn't he arrived yet? He should have arrived by now. I told you to go directly to the platform to pick him up so that you can show your respect."

Coach Takushi crossed his arms and disagreed with Coach Saito's opinion.

"Byodoin has already gone to pick them up. If we go again, Echizen will definitely be too proud and want to accept training honestly. Humph, I don't think it will be easy."

As a straight man like Coach Takushi, it is natural for him to think this way.

But Long Ge does have such capital, and what she needs to do now is to form at least the most basic tacit understanding with other team members.

We are not sure what kind of players other countries will send to compete, so this is just to be on the safe side.

Face different opponents with different pairings.

Coach Kurobe ignored the two men's argument and stared ahead until he saw a red figure.

It's Byodoin Temple.

"Proud? I think I have the capital to be so. What do you think, Coach Kurobe?"

Hear his voice before he sees him.

Byodoin slightly turned sideways, revealing the girl with a confident and flamboyant smile hidden behind him.

Coach Kurobe nodded silently.

"Welcome back, Echizen. From today on, you will begin systematic training and develop rapport with everyone. First, we will take you to meet the head coach of this training camp."

Long Ge pressed the hat he had snatched from Long Ma's head and said, "Why are you so anxious? I wonder how everyone's training is going. Do you miss me?"

Several people entered the training camp together and closed the gate, isolating everything outside.

The selected players have been handed over to the head coach and are undergoing devilish training every day.

Looking at the training volume which was several times stronger than before, Long Ge sighed.

"Wow, this is beyond the human body's limit. This head coach is no pushover."

Coach Kurobe took everyone to the training ground for the selected people.

A slovenly man, reeking of alcohol, cursed at them while taking a gulp of liquor from the wine jug in his hand.

Apparently, this is the coach Mifune Nyudo that Ryoma described, who served as their coach during their time in the losing group.

"Trash! Trash! They're all a bunch of losers! If they can't even handle this little bit of training, how are they going to face the powerful opponents at the World Championship?"

Even if someone had complaints, they didn't dare to speak out. It was obvious that this person was not as easy to get along with as Coach Kurobe and the others.

The moment someone looked up, they saw Long Ge greeting them.

From the shape of his mouth, I could tell he said "Hi~" to them.

"The one who's distracted, add another set of training. Is that the girl you chose?"

It wasn't until the man spoke that the others looked over quietly.

It’s Long Ge!

She has come back!

The joy on everyone's faces was hard to conceal.

It was even worse in Atobe's eyes.

Only those who were chosen by Qingxue had a hint of loss in their eyes.

Only Long Ge came back.

The man knew they were coming without even turning his head, and gave an additional set of training to those who were distracted.

The man turned around and frowned.

"Ok?"

Raise a question.

Coach Kurobe spoke respectfully, "Head coach, this is the selected mixed doubles player, Echizen Ryuka. Echizen, this is the head coach of this training camp, Coach Mifune Nyudo."

Coach Mifune took a sip from the wine flask in his arms and asked, "What's your relationship with that brat?"

"He's my little brother. I'm so sorry. He's in his rebellious phase and has gone out into the world."

Knowing how much Coach Mifune had taken care of Long Ma during that time, Long Ge spoke very gently.

Travel the world?

Coach Mifune couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard this.

"Hahahaha! Traveling the world, that brat, I think he's been baptized by the world!"

After the laughter came an unusual calmness.

Long Ge smiled. The child had received a lot of education at home, so it was good for him to see more of the world. Even if he failed, it would be a growth experience.

"You've been away from the team for too long. Come back quickly. We won't show any mercy to you just because you're a girl. Alright, boys! Let's start today's sparring practice! Our opponent is...her!"

Coach Mifune swung the wine flask over his shoulder and announced the second training mission of the day.
