Yep..... if it isn't NTR style smell then I don't know what it is lol


TBH I don't think Yuizaki will put any attention to the fake guy.... She just barely think of the MC as a fellow shot put fan/ guy friend (which is different from a girl friend lol) so I don't think there'll be any NTR like thing..... BUT it is still plausible...

And here comes the inevitable fake-out girl "stealing". Yawn.

@givemersspls

Difference between talent for technique and hard work, while Yuizaki was new at th technique/method she still had enough talent to get those results. The coach giving that small bit of advise is plausible (if not completely believable) for a technique he pioneered/developed in his own competition days..,

I prefer to look at it this way, Yuizaki loves shotput, but the regular method doesn’t suit her (or her body?). The new technique, while even unpracticed, has a lot more potential for her.

You’ve never had that “aha” moment caused by some “not really random” source? I see it as Yuizaki struggling with how to use the form properly. Sure, Oomiya helped with the “skip” assist, but the competing coach maybe said it in a way that “made sense” at a moment that mattered...?

Well, that’s the way I prefer to look at it, even if it’s not completely believable...

Ugh, no. Just no. Page 10 is exactly what I predicted it would be. The author tries to rationalize it as a balance between hard work and talent, but ugh, just no. Once you actually think about it, it's how I described it last chapter. She literally was trying a completely different technique. They literally talked about how it was a different technique than any that she has previously tried. Sure, there are some skills that transfer over between her previous style and this one, but she literally got it right on her, at most, third try, possibly even her first try, after one word of advice from the coach. That means that it couldn't be hard work and practice because she literally didn't have the opportunity to practice.

This is just hammering in the point that hard work means jack. Hell, look at Yaeko. She had actually been practicing under the better coach for much longer, and she lost. The author tries to hide that fact by putting all the focus on Yuizaki and none of it on Yaeko. That whole oh, you have to put in a lot of practice rings incredibly hollow when coming from Yaeko, who arguably put in more and better practice than Yuizaki.
