Chapter 107 Teacher, I will be the pride in your heart
Chapter 107 Teacher, I will be the pride in your heart
Time flies like a white horse passing by. Three days have passed quietly, and Tokyo, Japan has welcomed the first snow of early winter.
The snow-covered streets of Tokyo are covered in silver, and the falling snowflakes have covered this bustling city with a layer of white coat, and there are only a few days left until the lively New Year's Eve.
In a teacher's office at Tokyo Taketachi Second High School, the warm air is unable to dispel the tension and solemnity in the air.
There are two figures confronting each other here, one is Luo Hao, a passionate teenager with adhesive tape all over his face who is about to take the college entrance examination, and the other is his childhood friend Shinichi, his homeroom teacher, a middle-aged teacher with some gray hair but still a gleam of wisdom in his eyes.
Teacher Zhuma put his hands behind his back, frowned, and looked at the student in front of him, for whom he had poured countless efforts, with mixed feelings in his heart.
He took a deep breath and said earnestly: "Luo Hao, do you know what giving up studies means to a young person?
Next year will be your college entrance examination day. If you can enter a good university, your life will be more stable.
Boxing is your passion, but do you really think it can be a career to support your family?"
His voice was full of concern and anxiety; he was afraid that this young life was going further and further down the wrong path.
The lenses of his glasses were misted with excitement, and the chest in his white shirt rose and fell with his breathing. It seemed that he might have a heart attack at any moment because of Luo Hao's decision.
Luo Hao stood in front of the teacher with a determined look in his eyes.
He bowed deeply and said, "Teacher, I know you are doing this for my own good.
But this Rookie of the Year finals means a lot to me, I must give it my all.
After-school practice is no longer enough for me, I need more time to prepare for the competition."
Teacher Zhuma took off his glasses and gently wiped the fog off the lenses with a cloth.
He sighed, his tone full of helplessness: “Luo Hao, if you want to play boxing, you can apply to a sports university and take the path to the Olympics.
That road is equally bright, and it’s not just professional boxing that’s the only way to go.”
He paused and continued, "Even if you really want to pursue professional boxing, it's not too late to switch to professional boxing after you finish college.
You have a long life ahead of you, and there is plenty of time and opportunities.
As the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome. I hope you can understand the teacher's good intentions. "
Luo Hao bowed deeply again, with a flame of perseverance in his eyes, "Teacher, I understand what you mean.
But for me, Olympic boxing and professional boxing are two completely different paths.
What I want is to stand on top of the world and become a true world boxing champion.
I can't wait that long, please help me."
The childhood teacher looked at Luo Hao's determined eyes and felt mixed emotions.
He knew that this young heart had already been ignited by the flame of boxing and could not be extinguished.
He nodded silently and put his glasses back on: “Okay, Luo Hao.
In this case, I will grant you a long vacation.
However, I will not submit your application for leave of absence until you win the East Japan Rookie of the Year title. If you don't win the title, you should just come back to study and take the college entrance examination.
How about we make this agreement? Do you agree?"
A trace of gratitude flashed in Luo Hao's eyes, and he bowed again, "Then we have a deal.
Teacher Zhuma! I will definitely not let you down!"
The snowflakes are still falling outside the window, but in this warm office, two hearts are closely connected because of the same thing.
"Teacher Zhuma, please promise me one thing. You must come to watch my Rookie King Contest. I will be your pride..."
Luo Hao left this message before leaving the office.
After Luo Hao confided his childhood teacher about his intention to drop out of school, the pressure in his heart seemed to be lifted and he felt suddenly relaxed.
He walked briskly back to the familiar boxing gym.
After changing into his training clothes, he was about to integrate into the routine training.
Just then, President Kamogawa walked out of the office with a rare joy on his face.
He stood in the center of the training ground and clapped his hands gently. The crisp applause echoed in the gym, attracting everyone's attention.
"Pa pa pa pa..." The applause stopped. President Kamogawa raised his head slightly and looked around at everyone.
"Everyone stop for a moment and gather around."
The students stopped what they were doing and gathered around curiously.
From time to time, whispers could be heard from the crowd.
"What's the matter, President?
He looks so happy, did he win the lottery jackpot?
In that case, you have to treat us all to a good meal!" a student joked.
"Don't bring us along for this kind of thing. Just go by yourself. Be careful or President Kamogawa will give you a beating." Another student responded with a smile.
"Alright, alright, everyone stop arguing and listen to what President Kamogawa has to say first." An older student spoke, and everyone quieted down.
President Kamogawa coughed twice and cleared his throat. "First of all, the first good news I want to announce is that Aoki and Kimura finally won the JBC Lightweight Ten-round Qualifying Tournament this year!"
President Kamogawa's voice was filled with excitement and pride.
He paused and continued, “That is to say, the two of them are already qualified to challenge the top fifteen in the JBC lightweight rankings.
After so many years, these two guys finally made it.
Everyone applaud Aoki and Kimura!"
The crowd burst into applause. Luo Hao also stood in the crowd and clapped hard. His heart was filled with respect and expectation for his two senior brothers.
"Clap clap clap..."
Amidst the applause, Aoki and Kimura walked out slowly, their faces covered with adhesive tape and filled with smug smiles.
Qingmu waved his hand and said modestly: "Brothers, don't worship us. As long as you work hard, this day will come sooner or later."
Kimura nodded in agreement and did not forget to tidy up his hairstyle to show his handsomeness to everyone.
However, the following scene was a chorus of ridicule and contemptuous looks.
Upon seeing this, President Kamogawa stretched out his hand and pressed it in the air, signaling everyone to be quiet.
After the boxing gym regained its composure, he continued, “Next, I want to announce an even more exciting news.
Fifty days later, our Takamura will have a boxing championship match with Gaolang Unsawado at the Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo.
They are defending the WBC and WBA heavyweight championship belts respectively, this is a real peak showdown. "
"What! Senior Yingcun wants to fight with Gaolang Wensawado!" The crowd exclaimed.
“Who is Gaolang Unsavado?
Is he very good?
Are you qualified to fight with Senior Yingcun?" A new student asked puzzledly.
At this time, Itagaki stood up, looked at the young man seriously, and said in a deep voice: "Don't say such things again, you will be laughed at.
Gaolan Unsalvato is a top boxer in the world, holding the heavyweight championship belts of the three major boxing organizations: WBA, WBO and IBF.
He can be said to be the super boxer among boxers.
His strength is unfathomable, and his professional record is the same as his predecessor Yingcun, with all wins and all KOs.
From the surface, Gaolang Wensawado's strength is even higher than that of Senior Yingcun."
Luo Hao, who was standing aside, was also shocked by the news. He did not expect Gaolang Wensavado to be so powerful. Even Itagaki admitted that his strength was above Yingcun.
At this time, his respect for Senior Yingcun became even deeper, and he was also full of anticipation for the upcoming competition.
