A few days later, Silent Suzuka submitted her resignation from the team.
Although Tojo Hana felt it was a pity, she still chose to respect Silent Suzuka’s wishes.
"Silence Suzuka, which team are you planning to join next?" Tojo Hana actually felt that Silent Suzuka was quite suitable for Team Spica.
But she was too proud to tell Nishizaki Ryu directly.
This would only prove that Nishizaki Ryu was capable, and she was not.
"I don't have a team I want to join for now." Silent Suzuka secretly glanced at Lu Jue-jun, who was beside her, and winked at him.
"Actually, you can try out for other teams; perhaps you'll find a suitable one." Tojo Hana didn't want Silent Suzuka to be buried like this and gave a hint.
"Trainer, don't worry, I have my own choice."
"Alright." Seeing Silent Suzuka's persistence, Tojo Hana said no more. "I hope you can shine brightly on the racetrack in the future."
"Thank you, and thank you for your guidance during this time."
A rare smile appeared on Tojo Hana's face, and she gradually understood something. "Then, shall we discuss another matter?"
"Another matter?" Silent Suzuka thought, since she had already left the team, they shouldn't be reviewing the race anymore.
"Yes, let's talk about 'poaching'."
"Cough, cough, cough..." Lu Jue-jun suddenly coughed a few times.
He was originally just watching the show, but he didn't know how the fire suddenly burned him.
"Lu Jue-jun, what's wrong? Do you have a cold?" Tojo Hana looked at him with an unfriendly expression.
"Just a little, but it's nothing serious." Lu Jue-jun looked up and met Silent Suzuka's eyes, which held a hint of a smile.
Without allowing himself to think further, he had to quickly deal with the 'poaching' matter.
"If you're sick, it's best to go see a doctor quickly." Tojo Hana's fingers lightly tapped her arm.
"Sister Hua is right, then I'll just..."
"Trainer, what did you mean by 'poaching' just now?" Silent Suzuka raised her hand, asking with a bewildered expression.
"Yes, Lu Jue-jun, what do you think of this 'poaching' behavior?" A smile also appeared at the corner of Tojo Hana's mouth.
She didn't need to guess to know that Silent Suzuka's departure was related to Lu Jue-jun.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Lu Jue-jun became indignant and spoke eloquently, "Of course, this kind of behavior is despicable! I didn't expect Nishizaki Ryu Trainer to be this kind of person!"
"Alright, alright... you two." Tojo Hana smiled helplessly. "I'm not a petty person."
Lu Jue-jun stood obediently to the side, glaring fiercely at Silent Suzuka, who, however, acted as if she hadn't seen him.
"Since you've found your path, stick to it." This was what Tojo Hana said to Silent Suzuka.
"Yes, I will." Silent Suzuka nodded.
...
Lu Jue-jun and Silent Suzuka left the lounge together.
Silent Suzuka had no races scheduled recently, so training could be taken slowly.
"Silence Suzuka, was that intentional just now, or accidental?"
"Of course, it was accidental." When Silent Suzuka was calm, it was impossible to tell if she was lying.
"I think you were intentionally accidental."
"Tojo Trainer wasn't wrong, you know? You were the one who poached, and you even blamed Nishizaki Ryu Trainer." Silent Suzuka said, taking out a voice recorder from her pocket and playing Lu Jue-jun's words from earlier.
"You even recorded it, and you still say it wasn't intentional..." Lu Jue-jun pouted.
"Lu Jue-jun, you wouldn't want Nishizaki Ryu Trainer to know about this, would you?"
Silent Suzuka turned to face Lu Jue-jun.
She took a small step forward, and he took a big step back.
"You, what do you want to do..."
...
"Ha~"
Lu Jue-jun walked down the campus corridor, heading to his classroom.
He was about to raise his hand to cover a yawn, but a soreness shot through his arm.
Silent Suzuka had really put him through the wringer yesterday.
Lu Jue-jun felt that she was definitely prepared, otherwise, how could the timing have been perfectly on a holiday!
But he was helpless; after all, she held the leverage, so he could only be played with by her...
The leverage was that recording, and "played with" referred to nearly two hours of massage.
No one would misunderstand, right?
Fortunately, Lu Jue-jun was not someone to be easily bullied; he could freely control the pressure when massaging.
He just grabbed Silent Suzuka and kneaded and kneaded with all his might... He was grabbing her legs and kneading a certain acupoint on her sole.
No one would misunderstand again, right?
Later, Silent Suzuka's face turned beet red, but she just gritted her teeth, unwilling to admit defeat.
And so, this scene unfolded: Silence Suzuka remained silent, only gritting her teeth; Lu Jue-jun said nothing, only exerting force.
"I think this is the class." Lu Jue-jun checked his phone, matched the class nameplate, and walked in.
The students were already seated and ready, and there were no empty seats.
But Lu Jue-jun still called out the names one by one according to the procedure.
"El Condor Pasa."
"Here!"
A Uma Musume wearing cool eye mask raised her hand high from below the podium.
Her blue pupils were captivating, like gems embedded in her eye sockets.
A crescent-shaped smile hung on her face, and her two ears stood high, making her look full of vitality.
This was El Condor Pasa, mentioned before, who was about to join Rigil, and also one of the strong rivals of the anime's first season protagonist, Special Week.
"A potential stock..." Lu Jue-jun thought.
However, he had no intention of coaxing her... recruiting her.
El Condor Pasa achieved considerable success under Tojo Hana's training.

...
"Grass Wonder."
"Here."
The girl raised her hand, a kind smile on her face, appearing exceptionally gentle and serene.
Grass Wonder gave off the impression of a well-bred young lady, with a gentle personality and an elegant demeanor in every gesture.
However, Lu Jue-jun remembered that her academic scores were apparently not even passing and she had to retake exams.
It was a pity that she was already a member of Rigil.
Hiss... Thinking about it this way, why did Lu Jue-jun feel like his own corner had been poached by Tojo Hana?

...
"Seiun Sky."
"Seiun Sky?"
"Is Seiun Sky here?"
Lu Jue-jun called out a few times, and finally looked up to search for her himself.
At this moment, Seiun Sky was still lie on her desk, her sky-blue short hair facing Lu Jue-jun.

The people around her were about to wake her up, but Lu Jue-jun stopped them with a shushing gesture.
Everyone looked at Lu Jue-jun in confusion.
