In the early morning, the Zhui Feng High School has not fully awakened yet. The tranquility of the campus is only broken by the distant bird calls and occasional passing of vehicles. Coach Wang Min yawned, still feeling the sleepiness from the night before, as he arrived at the school gate. The night's coolness still lingered in the air, but Coach Wang was already mentally preparing to embrace a new day and new challenges.
He glanced at the old-fashioned watch on his wrist, and the hands pointed to five fifty-five. In five minutes, the daily training for the badminton team would begin. Although not young, Coach Wang was already accustomed to this time every day. He refreshed himself and stepped out, walking leisurely through the campus pathways towards the direction of the sports field.
His pace may not be fast, but his rhythm is steady and powerful, representing his attitude towards badminton and student training: firm and patient. Suddenly, a hurried footsteps came from behind him. Coach Wang turned around and saw Li Wei and Zheng You running hastily towards the playground, seemingly afraid of being late.
Coach Wang furrowed his brow slightly, a hint of displeasure in his eyes. Although they were top players on the team, this kind of tardiness was something Coach Wang could not tolerate. He muttered under his breath, "These two rascals, always arriving at the last minute, no time for a proper warm-up before training."
He didn't shout loudly, but he had already decided to discipline the two latecomers after the training. However, he also understood that young people always have their own enthusiasm and laziness, which requires timely guidance and correction. Coach Wang did not quicken his pace, instead maintaining his calm and steady stride, continuing towards the playground.
As the sun gradually rose, every inch of the campus was covered by the warm sunlight. Today marked the beginning of another day of training willpower and skills.
When Coach Wang Min finally appeared on the field, the scene before him involuntarily brought a smile to his face. Eleven young figures dressed in sports attire stood neatly on the field, their straight backs exuding youthful energy and anticipation for the day's training.
Coach Wang furrowed his brow, silently counting the number of people. Logically, including team manager Liu Xing, there should be ten people, so how did it become eleven today? His gaze carefully scanned each team member, quickly locking onto an unfamiliar figure - Lin Fei, a new face he had never seen before.
In his memory, a sudden flash of a previous instruction came to mind. He had requested team members to use the opportunity of the club fair to recruit new blood, in order to enhance the team's vitality and potential. It seems they have indeed achieved some results, at least the newcomer standing before him is the best proof.
Coach Wang couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. New blood is extremely important for the team, especially as they are actively preparing for the upcoming season. He believes that every new addition is an opportunity to improve the team's strength, and he is full of curiosity and anticipation for the arrival of the new member.
On the morning of the playground, the breeze carried a fresh scent, and Coach Wang Min's steps were steady, which made the whole scene unusually calm. The team captain Chen Yong was alert, and as the coach approached, he quickly had the team line up neatly, with each member responding immediately and standing in a row.
When Coach Wang Min was about five steps away from the team, Chen Yong gave the order without hesitation: "Salute!" With the command, all the team members greeted the coach in unison, showing the discipline and respect within the team.
Coach Wang Min nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the group of young faces, then firmly and calmly issued the first order of the morning: "Everyone go down and run eight laps around the field." His tone brooked no doubt, and the team members did not hesitate at all, immediately beginning to carry out the command, one by one running away.
Chen Yong and Lin Fei stayed behind, walking up to Coach Wang Min and standing still. Coach Wang turned to Chen Yong with a hint of inquiry in his eyes: "What's the new person's name?"
Chen Yong quickly replied, "Report to the coach, his name is Lin Fei, he is a new student in our first year."
Lin Fei also immediately stood up straight, looking firmly at Coach Wang, waiting for further instructions or evaluation. Coach Wang's gaze lingered on him for a few seconds. It was as if the gaze was trying to see through the surface to the essence. His deep eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of surprise, as if he saw the shadow of an old acquaintance in Lin Fei. After a moment of astonishment, he shook his head inwardly and said to himself, "Absolutely impossible."
He quickly returned to reality, calmed his emotions, and asked, "About what level are you at?"
Lin Fei calmly replied, "About level twelve."
Coach Wang Min couldn't help but shake his head, with a hint of disbelief in his voice: "Were you on the school team?"
At this point, Chen Yong raised his hand as if to testify for Lin Fei, "Yesterday we did a preliminary skills test, and his flat drives and high lobs are quite impressive. However, it's true that he hasn't played for a while, so he may need some time to get back in form."
Coach Wang Min Upon hearing this, his gaze fell on Lin Fei again. He seemed to be making a psychological assessment, with a faint smile that was barely noticeable appearing at the corner of his mouth. He knew in his heart that regardless of Lin Fei's background or past, this child's talent and potential were worth looking forward to. And for a coach with rich training experience, such new blood was exactly what they needed.
"Very good," Coach Wang Min finally said, "we will start from the basics, step by step. Lin Fei, welcome to join the Typhoon High School badminton team. From today, you will be one of us, and I look forward to seeing your performance on the court."
