Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

On the other hand, it's about serving well, perfectly returning the received ball so the opponent can't reach it—that's what's called receiving the ball.

Seeing the puzzled look on Ryoko Sakaki's face, Yuuki Yoshino began to explain.

"Of course, although you only need to pay attention to two points, you need extremely strong physical qualities to receive the ball served by the opponent and hit it back beautifully."

This is your weakness, Ryoko, so you just need to stay in front of the net.

As Yoshino Yuuki walked along the beach, she quickly drew a rough volleyball court on the soft sand, and then drew a center line with her foot to divide the two sides into two battlefields.

"Speaking of which, there isn't a net specifically for playing beach volleyball on this beach. Normally, a beach should have one or two such courts."

Looking at the endless expanse of fine yellow sand around her, Yoshino Yuuki was somewhat surprised.

Logically speaking, any beach should have a court for playing beach volleyball, since beach volleyball is basically an essential activity at the beach.

But not here.

That's right, there isn't one.

"Forget it, let's start practicing."

It starts with juggling the ball. Being able to catch the ball is the foundation of beach volleyball; after all, if you can't catch the ball, you're out of the game, let alone any subsequent tactics.

She shook her head, too lazy to think about it anymore.

He then took the volleyball from Ryoko Sakaki and began to teach her step by step.

In order not to hold Ryoko Sakaki back, Ryoko also learned with a serious expression, and within ten minutes she got the hang of it and started bouncing around quite well.

"Not bad, Ryoko, could you be a volleyball prodigy?!"

Seeing that Sakaki Ryoko could hit the volleyball more than twenty times in a row without dropping it after only a dozen minutes of practice, Yoshino Yuuki's face showed surprise.

It took her an entire class period to do that step.

"Perhaps it's because I was training at Teacher Baiyuan's house a while ago, although the movements I made were strange, my body coordination has indeed improved a lot."

Ryoko Sakaki's voice was gentle, without a trace of pride, but rather filled with admiration for Hakugen, attributing everything to Kobu.

"Now that you mention it, it seems to make sense. My feel for hitting the ball is much better than before."

That set of movements was really effective! We practiced it for ages without any results, and I even thought Teacher Bai Yuan was just making fun of us.

Upon hearing Ryoko Sakaki's words, Yuuki Yoshino took the ball from her and juggled it twice. She was then surprised to find that her accuracy had improved considerably.

"How could Teacher Baiyuan possibly have the time to tease us?"

"I really didn't expect that just a casually passed-down move would have such an effect."

Upon hearing Yoshino Yuuki's words, Sakaki Ryoko retorted in an annoyed tone.

Teacher Baiyuan must be bored; how could he possibly be amusing them with something like this?

"Who could have imagined this? After all, just by doing some strange movements, the flexibility of the body has been greatly improved."

Even the most professional dance training institutions in China probably couldn't do that.

Yoshino Yuuki's voice carried a hint of emotion.

Teacher Baiyuan is truly an amazing person; he easily accomplished things that others could not!

"We only have two hours, so let's not chat for now."

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Ryoko Sakaki hugged the volleyball in her hands and reminded her.

"You're right, so let's continue. Now that you've mastered the most basic receiving, I'll teach you a more advanced way of receiving serves."

Hearing what she said, Yoshino Yuuki realized what was going on and ran to the opposite side of Sakaki Ryoko.

"There is no net here. Try to hit the ball as high as possible, imagine there is a net in front of you, but be careful that it goes over the center line but not out of the sideline, otherwise it is a failure."

Upon reaching the other end of the volleyball court, Yoshino Yuuki shouted loudly at Sakaki Ryoko.

"I understand. Next up is accuracy training, right?"

As Ryoko Sakaki spoke, she began to hit the ball, her expression turning serious at that moment.

"boom."

The volleyball was hit and landed steadily in front of Yoshino Yuuki, just about to hit the ground.

Suddenly, Yoshino Yuuki leaped up and simultaneously raised her arm to slam down.

"boom--"

A short, sharp sound exploded in Ryoko Sakaki's ears, and then the ball landed at the edge of her court. However, when she looked down, she found that the volleyball was stuck inside the line.

"So fast..."

"When hitting the ball, don't hit it towards your opponent, but rather towards the edge of their court. The key to receiving a serve is to prevent them from reaching it! Let's try again!"

Yoshino Yuuki's voice was serious and earnest as she spoke, getting into position again.

If possible, she also wants to compete for the title of number one in beach volleyball and then receive the ultimate cooking recipe taught by Teacher Baiyuan.

However, beach volleyball is not a sport for one person.

Ryoko Sakaki is an indispensable part of the competition and must play a role; otherwise, no matter how well she performs, it will be impossible for her to win the match.

Two hours of training produced a barely usable volleyball player.

Yoshino Yuuki knew this was very difficult, but she was willing to wait for Sakaki Ryoko. Even if she failed, it wouldn't matter, because they were best friends!

Chapter 363 The beach volleyball ball isn't just one ball that's shaking!

"Come again!"

Seeing Sakaki Ryoko fail once again, Yoshino Yuuki urged her on, her voice now even more serious.

Competition is not a game. Instead of crying your eyes out after losing, it's better to seize the moment and work hard now.

That way, even if you lose in the end, you'll accept it willingly and won't regret it because you didn't try hard enough.

"it is good!"

Ryoko Sakaki nodded firmly; she didn't want to be the one who held everyone back.

Take advantage of the time now to practice volleyball to the best of your ability!

Time passed by second by second during this process.

Aside from Yoshino Yuuki and Sakaki Ryoko, the other pairs also quickly gelled during those two hours.

The volleyballs kept flying out of their hands, falling, and then being hit hard.

"I never expected Xiaohui to be so athletic. It seems that choosing you as my teammate was definitely the right decision."

Feeling the pressure coming from her arm, Alice Nakiri showed a look of surprise.

A volleyball with such force is powerful enough that even an average high school girl wouldn't be able to return it, demonstrating its immense power.

To achieve this, volleyball players need exceptionally high athletic abilities, especially strength, which must be at least twice that of the average girl.

"After all, I grew up in a fishing town, and my memories are of traveling to different places."

Even after arriving in Far Moon, I didn't neglect my exercise. Every morning I worked in the fields, swinging a heavy hoe weighing over ten kilograms – that was a form of exercise, I suppose.

However, those shouldn't be the key points.

What truly made me stronger was the ancient martial arts that Master Bai Yuan taught us; I practiced them for a considerable amount of time every night before bed.

While receiving the ball from Alice Nakiri, she moved nimbly on the beach. Although Megumi Tadokoro wasn't very skilled at volleyball, she still played very well thanks to her strong physique.

“If that’s the case, then it makes sense. No wonder your cooking has improved so quickly. I understand why Brother Bai Yuan admires you so much now. You deserve all his praise.”

Upon hearing Tadokoro Megumi's words, Nakiri Alice nodded slightly, then increased the pressure on her hands, preparing to intensify the training.

"I won't hold back anymore, go all out to catch my ball!"

the other side.

The duel between Mito Ikumi and Hojo Miyoko has reached a fever pitch.

Under the sunlight, Mito Yumi's brown skin glowed with a honey-like sheen, and her full curves seemed to burst forth from the tightly bound fabric.

As she tossed her long golden hair, the waves of her chest bounced with the movement, and the hourglass silhouette formed by her waist-to-hip ratio was faintly visible under her Western-style openwork cover-up.

"Go!"

She roared and leaped up to spike the ball, her arm and thigh muscles instantly tensing like a bowstring.

The wrist strength that once effortlessly controlled an entire cow's leg now sent the volleyball whistling through the air, and the deep footprints she left on the beach testified to her explosive power that transcended her physical appearance.

"Don't even think about taking a single point from me!"

Miyoko Hojo's tall figure covered the entire field like a cheetah, and she arrived at the landing point in the blink of an eye.

With each stride of her long legs, waves of sand were stirred up, and the bikini straps accentuated her broad and straight shoulders, while her back muscles stretched out like wings with each serve.

The clearly defined abdominal muscles on her flat waist and abdomen rise and fall with her breath, and the shadows of the indentation on both sides of her hip bones extend to the edge of her low-rise swim trunks, highlighting her powerful waist-to-hip ratio, making it impossible to look away.

The girl roared, her taut forearm muscles sharply defined. Her wrist, which had once juggled an enormous Chinese iron wok with one arm, precisely positioned itself to deflect Mito Ikumi's incredibly fast and heavy slam back.

The volleyball flew high into the sky and finally landed smoothly outside the volleyball court in Bai Yuan's hands.

"A truly spectacular match."

Seeing the two girls' eyes follow the volleyball as it arrived, Bai Yuan, who had been standing on the sidelines for some time, couldn't help but applaud.

Because of their similar physical abilities, Hojo Miyoko and Mito Ikumi were evenly matched, and their fight was exceptionally intense.

"Teacher Bai Yuan!" *2

Upon seeing Shirabuchi, both Mito Ikumi and Hojo Miyoko showed expressions of surprise and delight.

Mito Ikumi, in particular, was surprised that Shiroyuki would come here, so she ran up to him and bent down slightly, perfectly displaying her advantages.

"It's clear you've worked very hard."

Looking at the girls standing in front of him, their foreheads covered in fine beads of sweat, Bai Yuan thoughtfully took out tissues to wipe them away.

"Thank you."

As the sweat on her forehead was wiped away, Miyoko Hojo felt much refreshed and then spoke with gratitude.

"You are welcome."

As he spoke, Bai Yuan looked at Mito Yumi again. Because she was standing in the sunlight, she was sweating a lot and needed to use more tissues.
