Chapter 1426
After all, the appearance of Charlie subverted the cognition of the master and apprentice, and brought a heavy blow to their enthusiasm.
nonetheless, Yamamoto Kazuki still hopes Nanako can play well.
Even if she couldn’t win the championship this time, with her strength, it would be fine to win a runner-up.
even so, if she does not perform well, the runner-up may not be able to get it.
Fortunately, he found through the video that Nanako is nothing different from usual.
Nanako herself is not the kind of player who is particularly excited, so she is usually highly quiet before the competition and likes to close her eyes and rest like she is now.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Tanaka Hiroichi spoke: “Miss, you will enter the venue in five minutes.”
Nanako opened her eyes and nodded gently: “I see.”
Koichi Tanaka declared again: “Miss, I’m talking on video with Coach Yamamoto. Do you have anything else to ask him?”
With that, he immediately switched the camera and pointed the phone screen at Nanako.
At this time, Nanako saw the weak Yamamoto Kazuki on the hospital bed and remarked respectfully: “Master how are you feeling now?”
Yamamoto Kazuki laughed at himself: “My biggest problem is that I don’t feel it now.”
Nanako hurriedly apologized and remarked, “I’m sorry, Master I didn’t mean it.”
Yamamoto Kazuki smiled slightly and stated, “It’s okay, I have already accepted my fate.”
As he stated, he raised his voice a little bit, and mentioned bluntly: “Nanako! Today’s game is exceptionally important to you. Whether you can get the silver medal or not depends on whether you can win this game.”
“Being a teacher is not a blow to you, but you are probably not Aoxue’s opponent, but as long as you agree to this game, the silver medal will already be in your pocket.”
The rule of the top four matches is to fight in pairs, the two who win compete for the championship, and the two who lose compete for third place.
In other words, as long as Nanako wins today, she will at least have the silver medal for the runner-up.
When Nanako heard this, she nodded seriously, and declared, “Master I know that I am not Aoxue’s opponent, but I will definitely work hard to finish every remaining game, and will never bring shame!”
Yamamoto Kazuki remarked with satisfaction: “highly well, if this game is won, and in the next game you will face Aoxue. At that time, you will not only go all out, but also let Charlie look at you with admiration, and subsequently take advantage of Aoxue’s match. If you have a chance, you will ask Charlie to accept you as a disciple!”
Nanako smiled bitterly: “Master Charlie cannot accept me as a disciple.”
Yamamoto Kazuki stated puzzledly: “In my opinion, a talented apprentice like you will never be refused. Charlie must be the same. Why would he refuse you?”
Nanako shook her head and remarked, “Just due to the fact that I am Japanese.”
“What?” Yamamoto Kazuki frowned and asked, “Charlie looks down on us?”
Nanako stated: “It’s not that he looks down on us, but he mentioned that the Chinese have taught too many Japanese, but the Japanese have been avenging revenge for two or three hundred years, so…”
When Yamamoto Kazuki heard this, he couldn’t help but sighed and mentioned: “Charlie is a master of real high-end martial arts. Before we have seen his strength, we just sit and watch the sky, but after seeing his strength, if we don’t have a chance to practice. His kind of high-end martial arts absolutely feels that he has been practicing in vain for so many years…”
The stage is set for Nanako’s defining moment, with huge implications for her journey and her master’s pride. Her resolve is tested, and the path to glory is fraught with challenges.
