I run a tofu shop, and you want me to go to Akina Mountain?

Chapter 121: Professional drivers are coming?

Takahashi Ryosuke gave Fujiwara Takumi a thumbs up, full of praise!

"Ah."

Fujiwara Takumi nodded, then stood by the guardrail on the top of the mountain and looked down. Everything at night was still clear and bright in his eyes.

A few birds were flying low in the sky not far away, and an eagle was still circling in the sky, as if ready to prey on some unlucky chick or sparrow at any time.

"what?"

"Sakai lost so badly?"

"okay, I get it."

Principal Todo was in his own villa. After listening to the report from the other end of the phone, his face looked very grim.

This was the first time since Todojuku was founded that it lost both uphill and downhill.

This made him feel very embarrassed.

What a shame.

"Boom boom boom!"

Principal Todo immediately drove the prototype car to the mountain of the main track himself. He wanted to save the game!

Of course, President Todo himself will not take part in the racing competition. He has already decided not to participate in any more racing competitions. Besides, he is so old and has worked so hard to build up a reputation when he was young. If he loses again, wouldn’t his reputation be ruined in his later years?

Not worth it!

Principal Todo Juku is a determined and intelligent man, otherwise Todo Juku would not have developed into such a large-scale fleet under his management.

Many professional racing teams want to poach players from him, but they have to pay transfer fees. Besides, Tochigi Todohjuku is well-known and has attracted a lot of sponsorship. It can be said that the Todohjuku racing team is definitely profitable.

It is not easy for a non-professional team to achieve profitability.

Mr. Todo is a legendary figure in Tochigi, and many racing drivers have great respect for him.

"Boom boom boom!"

"squeak"

At the top of the Shiona Circuit, 86 had been waiting for a while before DC2 finally climbed up the mountain.

After reaching the finish line, Smiling Tiger Sakai breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter whether you win or lose, as long as you can get up the mountain!

He was scared half to death along the way.

Because 86 is simply a devil!

After running on the road at night so many times, this was the first time that Smiling Tiger Sakai felt scared, and it was also the scariest time. It was too fast. The speed of 86 made Smiling Tiger Sakai, who did not believe in ghosts, feel for the first time that maybe there really were devils in this world.

"86!"

Smiling Tiger Sakai was stunned when he saw the 86 that had already stopped at the top of the mountain.

But soon, Smiling Tiger Sakai let it go, knowing that 86's victory was inevitable.

Because from the beginning, 86 left him far behind.

Smiling Tiger Sakai walked towards Fujiwara Takumi who was leaning against the guardrail admiring the scenery below the mountain.

When ordinary people look down, they can only see darkness or scattered lights, but Fujiwara Takumi is different.

Under those golden eyes, the night seemed as bright as day.

Neither black nor white can stop Fujiwara Takumi from discovering anything.

"Um...Takumi."

Smiling Tiger Sakai gently called out "Fujiwara Takumi".

"Ok?"

"what happened?"

Fujiwara Takumi raised an eyebrow and asked casually, but he didn't turn around. The night wind blew gently, and the corners of his clothes slightly swayed on his smooth clothes. But his heart was still as calm as water, and nothing could make him care too much. After all, his strength was there.

"You...you are really too fast! Can you tell me the secret of why you can run uphill so fast, please?" At this time, the Smiling Tiger Sakai looked like a junior, without any arrogance and arrogance as at the beginning.

“Good technique.”

"A car is also good." Fujiwara Takumi answered simply.

"Yeah." Smiling Tiger Sakai nodded.

"That's all?" After waiting for a while, seeing that Fujiwara Takumi didn't say anything, he asked helplessly with a wry smile. A good car and good skills are common sense for racing drivers, and he didn't expect Fujiwara Takumi to say anything more.

"That's all." Fujiwara Takumi said calmly. These two points are the most crucial.

There are no shortcuts in racing.

"Okay." Smiling Tiger Sakai responded, and knowing that he couldn't ask any more questions, he stopped talking. Fujiwara Takumi had already told him the biggest secret to winning the game. Whether he understood it or not was up to Smiling Tiger Sakai himself, and Fujiwara Takumi couldn't care less.

Obviously, Smiling Tiger Sakai has not yet fully understood. Everyone's understanding is different.

This is normal.

"Squeak!" At this moment, at the foot of the main track, a sports car with a yellow body and a black hood suddenly braked and stopped in front of Ninomiya Daiki and Tate Tomoyuki. All around were racing students from Toudoujuku, a racing training school where all the racing drivers were students. Most of the graduates became professional racing drivers or formed their own racing teams.

Tomoyuki Tate is an exception, as he came back to visit Todōjuku as a graduate.

Usually, graduates of Todōjuku will not stay in the team as drivers. They are all still students. For example, Ninomiya Daiki and Smiling Tiger Sakai have not graduated yet.

Since you are a student, you naturally have to pay tuition. Otherwise, how will Principal Dongtang make a living?

"Bang!" The door of the yellow sports car opened and Principal Dongtang walked out.

"Why!?"

"Principal!" The racing drivers of Todo Juku were all surprised to see the principal suddenly appear.

Tate Chiyuki and Ninomiya Daiki also found it incredible. It has been a long time since the principal of Toudou Juku came to this main track in person, let alone during the competition. In the past competitions of Toudou Juku, the principal never showed up, which was why all the students were surprised.

The first thing that Todo Jukushi did after getting off the bus was to take a deep puff of his cigarette and then blow out a thick smoke ring. The smoke ring was so thick that it couldn't be dissolved, obviously because he took a deep puff. He is really an old smoker...

Seeing this, Ichinomiya Daiki lowered his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Principal, you..."

Principal Todo waved his hand, signaling Ninomiya Daiki not to continue.

He straightened the sleeves of his white shirt to make it look smoother, then took another puff of his cigarette before slowly speaking: "The students have already told me about the competition over the phone. I know, but I don't mean to blame you. This incident is a good lesson for you. There are always people better than you. Don't think that just because you are great in Todojuku, you will be the same outside of it. Never underestimate anyone."

"86...is very important to stimulate you. It can inspire you to have stronger motivation to race, become stronger, face various challenges, and make breakthroughs. Not only Sakai and Daiki, but all students should do the same. 86 is more powerful than everyone expected, so everyone must work harder than they ever imagined and work harder to improve their driving skills."

“Only those who keep struggling in difficult situations can break through bottlenecks and move to a higher level. Never be passive and lazy. If one day you encounter a bottleneck that you cannot cross, it means... you have reached your limit.”

"Yeah." Ninomiya Daiki nodded.

"Yes, Principal." The others also agreed.

Only Tate Chiyuki did not respond immediately, but seemed to be thinking about something.
