This is just for tiding people over until other fansub groups translate up to this point. Not meant to replace them or anything (because this is just a script!). I've been releasing decks of s2 episodes over at twistserve_tcg...spoiling everyone when they haven't watched it yet is no fun!

It's kind of nice taking a break from translating Japanese. Chinese is so much easier for me. :) Super long script below. My hands hurt.

Useful? Unnecessary? Let me know~. Should I go back to S1? XD; I took lots of screencaps of S2 characters (new Lin Qi, Li Hai players, oops, forgot Lin Yin) while watching in preparation for more character decks. |D

Lots of typos and whatnot. I couldn't type fast enough!

Episode 1

*outside Long Ma's window*

Cheng Wu:
Long Ma!
Long Ma!
Stop sleeping!
You've slept the entire vacation.
Haven't you slept enough?

Long Ma:
What are you in a hurry for?

Cheng Wu:
We have to clean the clubroom
before they go back to school.
No one's cleaned it for the entire vacation.
It's enough work for us.
Hurry up.

Long Ma:
Got it, got it.
I'll be down right away.

*riding a bike together*

Long Ma:
Tao Cheng Wu.
Our captain and vice are doing the raffle this morning, right?

Cheng Wu:
That's right.
What team do you think we'll end up with?

Long Ma:
What's the strongest team in the Hua Dong tournament?

Cheng Wu:
Has to be Li Hai (Rikkai).
They've been champions two years straight.

Long Ma:
Let's challenge them then.
If we end up picking Li Hai, that's the best pick.

Cheng Wu:
You understand anything?
If we end up with Li Hai, that's not a good pick.

Long Ma:
Everyone says we're the dark horse.
We should follow that and become the biggest dark horse.

*Long Ma and Cheng Wu laughs*

Cheng Wu:
All right! Let's hope we get Li Hai, the best pick!
Let's defeat Li Hai!

*scene shifts to Guo Guang and Zhen Zhi*

Guo Guang:
Li Hai University is definitely a champion team.
For the past two consecutive years,
They've been the champions of the Hua Dong area tournament.
This year, they're looking to be champions for a third year.
This is our first time advancing to the Hua Dong tournament,
so the data we have on them
isn't very complete.

Zhen Zhi:
Guo Guang.
If, our luck is good,
we want to avoid meeting Li Hai University in the first match.

Guo Guang:
No matter what the outcome,
We will definitely be able to advance farther.

*smiles at each other*

Ji Bu (Atobe):
Long time no see.

Guo Guang:
Congratulations.
Bing Di (Hyoutei) was able to enter the Hua Dong tournament
with the recovery match.

Ji Bu:
Without Bing Di,
it wouldn't be the Hua Dong tournament anymore.
The Hua Dong tournament relies on true strength.
For the other teams, Qing Xue
will be the best pick without a doubt.

Ji Bu:
Li Hai unversity has come.

*Li Hai passes by with scary aura*

*at the clubroom*

Cheng Wu:
Why did Zhen Zhi leave his juice out
without putting them in the refrigerator?

Long Ma:
He came in this morning?

Cheng Wu:
He probably made it yesterday night.

Long Ma:
I hope the taste of his juice this time won't be as bad.

Cheng Wu:
Why don't you try it out? Aren't you thirsty?

Long Ma:
I don't want it. Can't stand it.

Cheng Wu:
Long Ma, where do you say we should put our trophy?

Long Ma:
Put it here.
Here, we'll put the Hua Dong tournament trophy.
Here, we'll put the National trophy.

Cheng Wu:
Mm, our clubroom
We should design it well.
We'll have so many trophies
we won't have room for them here.

Cheng Wu:
Eh, time's up.
I wonder if the raffle has started for Guo Guang and the others.

*at the raffle*

Announcer:
Next representative for the raffle
is Qing Xue who has advanced to our Hua Dong tournament for the first time.
Let's have the representative for Qing Xue
please come up to pick.

Zhen Zhi: (flashback)
We want to avoid meeting Li Hai University in the first match.

Announcer:
First match.
Qing Xue.
versus
Xiang Nan College.

Lin Qi:
For the Hua Dong tournament this time,
our first match is against Xiang Nan.
I expect all of you,
I emphasize,
all of you,
to do sufficient preparations.
No matter if it's in skill,
or in endurance,
you will all have to demonstrate your best ability.
Most importantly,
is your spirit.
Think about it thoroughly,
how you came along this path
to advance to the Hua Dong tournament.
What I need now
is for all of you
to give 100% effort.
Regarding the match against Xiang Nan,
you must win.
Understand?

Everyone:
Understood.

Lin Qi:
Louder!

Everyone:
Understood!

Lin Qi:
After the practice matches later
everyone will run 10 laps.

Hai Tang:
What, no way.

Lin Qi:
After 10 minutes of rest
you'll continue your practicing the foundations.

Chun Long:
Da Shi,
why has Coach become so strict this semester?

Da Shi:
Maybe she's feeling the stress.
It's our first time in the Hua Dong tournament after all.

*practice*

Lin Qi:
Watch the speed of your steps. Keep your rhythm.
Faster, faster, faster.
Keep it up!
Watch your feet.
Don't forget the rhythm, the rhythm.

*song starts as practice continues*

Long Ma:
So tired.
I've never seen Coach so strict.
Just what's up with Xiang Nan?
Right.
Who's the strongest in Xiang Nan?

Zhen Zhi:
It's a guy called Shen Cheng (Kajimoto).
They say he's the most perfect masterpiece of their coach.

Long Ma:
That's interesting.
Hope I'll go against him in the match.

*back in the clubroom*

Zhen Zhi:
Xiang Nan is strong in all physical aspects
Because they practice
according to each person's talent.
I only know this much so far.

Guo Guang:
You've all heard.
The Hua Dong tournament is starting soon.
So everyone
must be serious at practice.
If anyone
gets into trouble or breaks school rules at this time,
I'm not joking
you're responsible for the results.

Hai Tang:
Ah.

Cheng Wu?:
What's wrong?

Hai Tang:
What the heck is this?

Long Ma:
Made by Zhen Zhi.
The newest version of Qing Zhi.

Hai Tang:
Qing Zhi!

Cheng Wu:
Enjoy it slowly.

*Everyone laughs*

Hai Tang:
What kind of people are all of you??

Zhen Zhi:
Is this that bad tasting?

Zhou Zhu:
Congrats.

Hai Tang:
You guys are all too much, really.

Guo Guang:
Where's Ju Wan?
Why's he not here?

*Ju Wan looks at test scores, which show he must retake his English test*

Guo Guang:
You didn't pass English again?

Ju Wan:
Ah, here, Captain, try this out.
It's the specialty from my house.
I remember you especially loved it last year.
Here, Hai Tang.
I remember you liked it a lot too.
Here, eat, eat eat.
I'll take care of everything today.
Water, water, water.

*gets water bottles*

Guo Guang:
Ju Wan.
The last retake chance.

Ju Wan:
I'll pass for sure.

Guo Guang:
If you don't pass

Ju Wan:
Not going to happen.

Guo Guang:
I'm talking seriously here.

Guo Guang:
If you don't pass
you stop practice immediately.

Ju Wan:
Ah. ah.
Another death penalty.

Hai Tang:
Ju Wan, are you getting water or not?

Ju Wan:
Sorry.
Before I pass my test,
I won't fetch even half a bottle of water.

Hai Tang:
That won't do.
If it's your chore, you still have to do it.
If you're supposed to fetch water, you still fetch it.
So, get up.
Get water.

Ju Wan: (he's reciting a poem and replaces words)
English is better than water in the moon.
Friendship is like flowers in the mirror.

*singing*
A thousand reasons to be sad.
A thousand reasons to be sad.

Guo Guang:
This guy.
We have to keep an eye on him.

*at the tennis courts*

Guo Guang:
Faster. Here.
Watch your swing.

Guo Guang:
Good.
Backhand.
Continue like this.

Guo Guang:
Yes, like this, Hai Tang.
Zhou Zhu, hit more straights.
Next is a high-pressure ball.

*Guo Guang tries to serve*

Zhen Zhi:
Guo Guang!

Team:
Don't move.
Arm injury. Arm injury.
Don't move, don't move.

Lin Qi:
Guo Guang!

Team:
Hurry.
Can you stand up?
Don't move. Don't move.

Lin Qi:
His old injury is acting up again.
Quick, help him up.
Have to get him to the hospital.
I'm going to get the car.

Team:
It's all right.
Watch your step.
Walk slowly.
Help him walk.
We told you to stop practicing.

Guo Guang:
I'm all right.

*at the hospital*

Guo Guang:
Doctor, are there any chances for full recovery?

Doctor:
Although we did some traditional treatment,
the injury looks like it has gotten more severe.
Surgery is a must. As fast as possible.

Guo Guang:
But
I can't do it now.
Can we postpone it for a few months?

Lin Qi:
No.
Do it now. As soon as possible.

Doctor:
With an injury like this,
if you treat it as quickly as possible,
you will have better recovery.

Guo Guang:
Coach.
I think we should still wait until after the match for the surgery.
We've just advanced to the Hua Dong tournament.

Lin Qi:
Guo Guang.
You don't have any leeway to argue with time.

Doctor:
There will be more matches for you,
but the chance of healing your arm,
I'm afraid will only come once.
You should grasp the chance.

Lin Qi:
Doctor,
what is the success rate for recovery?

Doctor:
For a sports injury like this,
if he can get treatment in America,
he will have a higher recovery rate.

Guo Guang:
Let's wait for after the match.

Lin Qi:
Guo Guang!

Others:
Captain! Guo Guang.

Lin Qi:
Guo Guang.

Lin Qi:
Guo Guang, calm down and think.

Guo Guang:
Coach, forget it. Going to America for treatment
is problematic in time and money.

Lin Qi:
I'll take care of those problems.

Guo Guang:
Coach.
I know most about my own injury.
I can endure it until after the match with no problem.
I have confidence against Xiang Nan.

Lin Qi:
Except you lost against Bing Di.

Guo Guang:
Okay.
I don't have to take part in the match.
I won't play.
But at a time like this, I have to stay with the team.
The Hua Dong tournament
has too many problems for us to face.

Lin Qi:
You lost a key match.
This is also the most important time for you.
I can't let you lose. Do you understand?

Guo Guang:
I'm sorry, Coach.
I can't leave.

Lin Qi:
Stop.
Guo Guang.
Starting tomorrow
you stop practice.

Everyone:
Guo Guang. Captain.

*in the clubroom*

Lin Qi:
Starting tomorrow
you stop practice.

Long Ma:
I forgot something.

Guo Guang:
I'm all right.
I know what I'm doing.
Don't worry.

Long Ma:
When do you plan to get treatment?

Guo Guang:
Just not now.
I can't leave for sure right now.
I have to stay.
This is my responsibility as the captain.

Long Ma:
Can you still play like this?

Guo Guang:
Long Ma.
Do you know what the Hua Dong tournament
means to me?
Three years.
We've waited for three whole years.
Me.
Zhou Zhu.
Da Shi.
Ju Wan.
Zhen Zhi.
And Xiao Long.
This is our last chance.
If it were you
what would you do?

Long Ma:
But as you are now, you'll only lose.
You should remember that last shot against Ji Bu.

Guo Guang:
Why
Why is everyone reminding me about that match?
Don't I already know?
Do you all know
that one year after
I won't have a chance again
to play in tournaments like these?
I can't leave myself a regret like this.
Above that, I can let my teammates
face a tournament like the Hua Dong tournament
and still have to think
in their hearts while they play
where is our captain?
Where has he gone?
Truthfully, it hasn't been about whether or not I will participate
or play tennis.
At a time like this,
I must watch everyone, be with everyone,
be there when Qing Xue wins.
This wish of mine,
isn't too much, right?

*at the tennis courts*

Guo Guang:
We'll do it like this today.
Dai Shi, Ju Wan.
You'll play a match against Tao Cheng Wu and Hai Tang.
Long Ma, Zhou Zhu, and Xiao Long will be in a group with me.
After all three groups have finished,
Ju Wan, Tao Cheng Wu will do endurance training.
Zhou Zhu, power training.
Everyone else will do basics training.

Lin Qi:
Guo Guang.
I told you yesterday already.
Starting today
you are stopping practice to recover.
I've already asked someone to take care of your treatment.

Guo Guang:
Coach.

Lin Qi:
Stop practice.

Lin Qi:
If
you still have any problems
Zhen Zhi
starting today
Qing Xue's practices
will not welcome Guo Guang's presence.
Anyone who goes against the rules
will be kicked out of the tournament.
Dai Shi, take everyone to warm up by running.

Lin Qi:
Da Shi.

Da Shi:
Let's go.

*training room*

Lin Qi:
What?
You're still thinking about it?

Guo Guang:
Coach.

Lin Qi:
Guo Guang.
I'm also making choices.
The choices I'm facing may be even more complicated than yours.
I also wish you could stay,
that you could take us through the first round,
through the semi-finals,
even the finals,
but I can't do that.
If victory is based on luck,
it will only become more and more difficult.
?? It will only become a tragedy.
This, I believe you understand more than I do.

Guo Guang:
I understand all this.
I just believe
that if I leave at this time
it'll be my biggest regret.
I don't have to play.
Let Zhen Zhi be a regular.
I can be the assistant coach.
I can be the consultant.

Lin Qi:
This is your last chance for treatment,
Guo Guang.
You have to trust your teammates.
Trust that when you come back
they will give you a satisfactory result.
Maybe when you come back,
you might even have the chance to play in the finals.

Lin Qi:
This is a specialized hospital in America that I contacted for you.
They have specialized doctors and treatment equipment.
Guo Guang.
This is also a type of battle.
And we need to you win this one.

*scene cuts to Cheng Wu and Hai Tang*

Cheng Wu:
You calculator type won't be able to solve everything.
Let me tell you.
Calculators
will never be able to replace human emotion and thinking.

Hai Tang:
How is that possible?
Crick has said
human conscience and spirit
comes completely from physical chemistry laws.
You can take DNA and RNA
and compare them as 1 and 0 as numbers.

Cheng Wu:
Are you using your own brain to do the experiment?

Hai Tang:
Try asking Zhen Zhi.
Physical chemistry has long been acknowledged by specialists.

Chun Long:
Hey, Hai Tang.

Hai Tang:
You have to accept this point, you know!

Zhou Zhu:
Hai Tang, Hai Tang.
Take a seat take a seat.
Let's have the meeting first.

Da Shi:
Regarding Guo Guang's treatment,
if he continues to delay it
it'll do him no good.
But he can't practice with us right now.
Tao Cheng Wu, Hai Tang.
When you're in front of Guo Guang,
please be less difficult.

Cheng Wu:
Hai Tang's the one who keeps arguing with me.
It's not my fault,
Da Shi.
You have the wrong guy.

Hai Tang:
What do you mean by that, huh?
How have I been the one causing everything?

Zhou Zhu?:
Hai Tang.

Hai Tang:
Does this have nothing to do with you?

Cheng Wu:
I don't want to talk about this with you anymore.
No matter who's at fault
starting tomorrow
let's work peacefully together.

*offers hand that Hai Tang doesn't take*

Da Shi:
Ju Wan.
Everyone knows about your business too.
Can you work harder
to bring your scores up?

Ju Wan:
Da Shi.
Telling me to do this
is a bit difficult for me.
I can't show Captain
in such a short time.
Why don't
I pretend to be hardworking?

Long Ma:
Do you think if all of you do this
you'll be able to make Guo Guong relax?

*leaves*

Cheng Wu:
Hey, Long Ma.
What are you doing?

Chun Long:
What does he mean by that?

*Guo Guang approaches the clubroom*

Hai Tang:
Da Shi.
Is Captain not worrying
about Tao Cheng Wu?

Zhen Zhi:
Cut it out, Hai Tang.
What Long Ma just said is right.
What Captain needs right now is our battle spirit,
for everyone to demonstrate by action.
Then he'll stop worrying.

Da Shi:
That's right.
That's the hope for this team.

*Ju Wan drops his books in the library*

Da Shi:
You're too greedy.
You won't be able to finish reading 10 books all at once anyway.

Ju Wan:
The school needs to stop pressuring me first.
For the English test this time,
I really have no confidence, you know.

Da Shi:
I really don't know what you've been doing for the past two years.
Cramming now
is too late.

Ju Wan:
Haven't I been hanging out with you for the past two years bro?
Or else how did the Golden Pair come about?

Ju Wan:
Hey
what are you looking up?

Da Shi:
Information about the hospital in America.
I want to think of something for Guo Guang.

Ju Wan:
I've already said it.
Captain
shouldn't be going against Coach.
Now he can't even go to the tennis courts.
His best choice is to go overseas for treatment.
Something like knowledge
should be used in everyday life.
Socrates once said this.
There is no second choice in life.
I, Ju Wan, have also said this before.
Guo Guang has no second choice.
Look how good my philosophical arguments are.
I've already used the contents in these books
in everyday life
like this
What right does the school have to make me retake the course?
What right?
Can you give me some response?
Do you agree with me?

Da Shi:
Practice your English.
Hasn't Socrates said
people can make mistakes
but they can't make the same mistakes.
If you don't pass English this time,
you'll be waiting to cry.

Ju Wan:
Guo Guang came.

*Guo Guang waves Da Shi over*

Ju Wan:
Hey, help me convice him!

Girl:
I will also present you one of Socrates' sayings.
If heaven knows, then you are sinning.

Da Shi:
You want me to be captain?
No.
Qing Xue only has one captain,
and that's you, Zhong Guo Guang.
No one can replace you.

Guo Guang:
You're already the vice captain.
If I leave
who will take over if not you?
Don't worry, you can do it.
I have confidence in you.

Da Shi:
If you leave, I can be the stand-in captain.
You don't have to be worried about taking care of the team.
But for practice and for the matches,
I, I'm afraid I

Guo Guang:
Zhen Zhi will help you.
He has a lot of experience in those matters.

Da Shi:
All right then.
You don't have to worry about the team.
Focus on getting your injury treated.

Guo Guang:
Remember our promise from before.
We have to bring Qing Xue
to the finals.

Da Shi:
For sure.

Guo Guang:
Okay.
Okay.

*in the clubroom*

Guo Guang:
I will be going to America for treatment for a while.
So
this uniform
please keep it for me.
I know
that hearing this news
makes some of you laugh secretly inside.
Hai Tang.
Ju Wan.
Don't be happy so quickly.
I will be back very soon.
Besides,
when I'm not here,
Da Shi will watch over all of you for me.
And Zhen Zhi
you must help Da Shi
with everyone's training.

Hai Tang;
Captain.
Have you finished the formalities?

Guo Guang:
They're all done.
I will be going to Chicago for a month and a half of treatment.
The recovery after that
can be done back here in Shanghai.
If you guys play well
and advance to the next round,
I still have the chance
to participate on the courts with all of you.
Everyone must work hard!

Everyone:
Let's do it!

*practice*

Long Ma:
Swing.
Ready.
Racket back.
Swing.
Ready.
Racket back.
Swing.
Ready.

*Guo Guang looks in at practice*

Long Ma:
Get into position for your swing.

Jue Wei:
Long Ma.
I'm feeling pretty bad inside.

Long Ma:
Racket back.
RACKET BACK.
Swing.
Ready.
Racket back.
Swing.
Ready.

*in the art room*

Lin Yin:
In the past,
Long Ma came here often too.

Guo Guang:
Really.

Lin Yin:
This place really isn't that far from the tennis courts,
but he liked to watch all of you play from here.

Guo Guang:
It is a bit different.
This is the first time
I've watched them play from this angle.
It feels both familiar
and a bit foreign.

Lin Yin:
Long Ma used to watch all of you like this.
I don't know what he was thinking inside.
I just thought he looked lonely.
He hasn't come here for a long time.

Guo Guang:
Long Ma is getting better and better.
I believe in the future
Long Ma will for sure be able to become Qing Xue's pillar.

*at night*

Guo Guang:
You're still practicing at this hour?

Long Ma:
Of course.
I'll keep practicing until I can defeat you one day.

Guo Guang:
I won't be able to play for months.
Before I leave,
let's have one last match.
5 points to determine the winner.
Want to play?

Long Ma:
Both of us will change hands.

Guo Guang:
Okay.

Long Ma:
I won't hold back because you're injured.

Guo Guang:
Of course.

Guo Guang:
1 to 0.

Long Ma:
I will serve to the same place one more time!

Guo Guang:
2 to 0.

Long Ma:
One more time.

Guo Guang:
2 to 1.

Long Ma:
Again.

Guo Guang:
2 to 2.

Long Ma:
Again.

Guo Guang:
2 to 3.
Long Ma.
When I come back,
you have to defeat me.
You have to.
This time
will all be up to you guys.
I hope that when I come back
I will be able to see you lead Qing Xue
on the courts for finals.
Long Ma,
promise me.

Long Ma:
I promise you.

*in Ju Wan and the others' room*

Ju Wan: (in English)
You and your parents.
can't stop
stop worrying

Hai Tang: (in English)
Parents, okay?
Stop.

Hai Tang:
Classmate Ju Wan, I beg you.
Can you stop reading aloud?
I'm almost vomiting here.

Ju Wan:
Don't all the foreigners pronounce it like this?

Hai Tang:
If any foreigners pronounce it like you,
they would definitely say
that Chinese is easier to learn.
English is too hard.

Ju Wan:
This is a good thing.

Zhen Zhi:
Good sirs,
can I have you quiet down more?
I'm trying to sort data on Xiang Nan.

Zhen Zhi:
Oh right.
Guo Guang is leaving in a few days, right?
Should we
organize some kind of farewell party for him?

Hai Tang:
We could.

Ju Wan:
Let's have a feast.
Korean food.
Hunan food.
Japanese food.
Anything we want to eat.

Da Shi:
You only know how to eat.

Ju Wan:
What's there to do but eat?
Or what, should we have an English recitation party?

Hai Tang:
Enough.

Da Shi:
Zhen Zhi.
What do you think?

Zhen Zhi:
I do have an idea.
But I don't know if you guys will like it.

Hai Tang:
What's your idea?

*at Long Ma's house*

Long Ma:
Hello?

Cheng Wu?:
Bro, you're still sleeping?
Hurry up, we're seeing Guo Guang off.

Long Ma:
Huh, I got it!
Wait for me. I'm coming right away.

*everyone runs towards the sunrise*

Zhen Zhi:
There aren't any gifts we can give you
so we'll give you this sunrise
as a gift for you.

Da Shi:
Take care of your injury.
We'll be waiting for your return.

*Guo Guang hugs everyone*

*Long Ma opens his locker to look at the picture of everyone*

Cheng Wu:
Long Ma, hurry, we'll be late for practice.

Long Ma:
Coming!

Ju Wan:
Wait, wait, wait!

*at practice*

Ju Wan:
Very sorry everyone
I'm late again.
I have to study for the English retake.
Very sorry, very sorry.

Da Shi:
You're late again?
If you're going to be late,
you have to tell everyone beforehand.
Let us know or something.

Cheng Wu:
Da Shi,
I think you should change partners.
What if he's late for a match?

Ju Wan:
Hey, Tao Cheng Wu.
What are you saying?
I'm studying for my English test.
I only have a few days left.

Hai Tang:
You can't use that excuse, Ju Wan.
I'm telling you,
if you don't pass,
you won't be able to play all the same, you know!
If it weren't for you,
Zhen Zhi would have been able to finish the doubles line up already.
I'm telling you, it's all because of you.

Ju Wan:
What's up with you!
If you think going up against Xiang Nan is hard,
don't put the blame on me.
Why are you talking about me?

Zhou Zhu:
Stop arguing.
They don't mean anything.
They're just afraid you won't be able to make it.

Ju Wan:
What do you all mean by that?
Are you helping me or going against me?

Zhen Zhi:
Ju Wan.
I think you should take care of the retake first.
During this period,
don't come to practice.

Ju Wan:
Zhen Zhi, even you're saying this?
Da Shi.
Captain's not here, so your words will be final.
What do you say I should do?

Da Shi:
Okay.
We'll follow Captain's rules.
For tardiness, run 20 laps.
Do you all agree?

Everyone:
Agreed!

Ju Wan:
Kidding, kidding!
Really, I was just kidding.
It's just a joke.
I was just joking before, really.
Don't misunderstand. I'll practice.
There's nothing going on, right.

*cafeteria*

Ju Wan:
Master Ma!
Master Ma, this way, come, come, come.
Master Ma, let me carry this for you. I'll carry it.
Come, Master Ma, take a seat.

Da Shi?:
Nothing, eat.

Ju Wan:
Wanna eat sweet vinegar ribs?

Long Ma:
I don't eat it with sweet vinegar.

Ju Wan:
Then have some silver carp.
Da Shi doesn't eat this.

Zhen Zhi:
Ju Wan.
Are you planning to
ask Long Ma for something?

Ju Wan:
What?
I'm just being considerate to my teammate.
I'm just concerned about what he's eating.

Long Ma:
If you have something to say, just say it directly.

Ju Wan:
Then I'll be direct.
Da Shi.

Da Shi:
Long Ma.
Ju Wan wants you to help him study English.

Ju Wan:
Right, Master Ma.
Out of the entire team, your English is the best.
So for this retake,
help me out.

Da Shi:
Long Ma, I know this is troublesome for you.
But this isn't just for Ju Wan.
If he doesn't pass his English,
then our match
will be affected.
So help him this time.

Zhen Zhi:
It's true this time the team will also be affected.
For Ju Wan's retake,
help him out.

Ju Wan:
So, what do you think, Master Ma?

Long Ma:
Did I say I wouldn't help?

Ju Wan:
I knew Master Ma's the best!

Da Shi:
Ju Wan,
from today on
you'll be studying thoroughly.

Zhen Shi:
Study hard, understand?

Ju Wan:
Spot on.
Both are right.
Here, Master Ma, eat.

*dorm room, putting away Ju Wan's games*

Da Shi:
Long Ma is willing to help you.
You should grasp this chance.
Whether or not you can participate in the matches,
will depend on the retake.

Ju Wan:
Da Shi.
Can we talk this over more?

Da Shi:
Hand it over.

Ju Wan:
What?

Da Shi:
Playing dumb?

Ju Wan:
Haven't you taken everything already?

*Da Shi finds Ju Wan's mp3 player*

Ju Wan:
Da Shi.
I have to use this to listen to English.

Da Shi:
Listen to English?
Zhen Zhi.
Before he passes his exam,
don't give this back to him.

Zhen Zhi:
Okay.
Ju Wan, I have something to give you.
This.
My newly developed drink for combating fatigue.
Qing Zhi the 2nd generation.
This
not only revitalizes you,
it also has a lot of nutritional value.
For example,
DHA,
AA,
lecithin,
vitamins A B C D and D+.

Ju Wan:
What? There's also vitamin D+?

Zhen Zhi:
As long as you drink one bottle everyday before the test
you will pass for sure.
Good luck.

Ju Wan:
A bottle everyday before the test?

Zhen Zhi:
Right.

Long Ma:
Meet you in the classroom in 10 minutes.
First write by memory the vocabulary words from the previous 10 lessons.
If you're late by one minute, we'll study for 1 extra hour.

Ju Wan:
Hey, Master Ma!

Zhen Zhi:
Go.

Da Shi:
Hurry up and go.

Ju Wan:
Good bye, friends.
Good bye, friends.
Good bye, friends.
Good bye, good bye.

*on the courts*

Lin Qi:
After Guo Guang's departure,
a lot of things regarding the team are now your business.
You must put more effort into it.

Lin Qi:
Oh right.
Regarding the lineup against Xiang Nan,
have you two figured it out yet?

Da Shi:
We haven't made the final decision yet.

Lin Qi:
You have to be faster.
I might have to do some adjustments too.

Da Shi:
Coach,
this is the first time
I've seen you so nervous about a match.

Lin Qi:
Really?

Da Shi:
But it might be
because this is the first time we've advanced to the Hua Dong tournament.

Lin Qi:
Qian Zhen Zhi,
be sure to accomodate Da Shi during practice.

Zhen Zhi:
Understood.

Lin Qi:
With Guo Guang away,
I might have to reorganize singles.
From now on,
you're not just the assistant coach,
you're also officially a regular.
This time, Qing Xue
has entered the Hua Dong tournament for the first time.
So
a lot of teams
will take notice of us.
The matches
will definitely get harder and harder.
But against Xiang Nan
my expectancies for you
is to win.

Da Shi:
Understood.

Cheng Wu?:
Hey, do you know how to play?
Do you understand how to play together?
I'm in the front. Why are you running to the front too?

Hai Tang?:
What are you playing blindly for? Can't you follow my pace?

Chun Long:
Hey
You two never stop.

Cheng Wu:
How many years have you been playing
you can't play with someone at all.
I've had it with you.

Lin Qi:
So.
You're trying to have Tao Cheng Wu and Hai Tang play doubles?

Zhen Zhi:
We considered it.

Lin Qi:
In war, who you send out is dependant on compatibility.
The practices should focus on drawing out the advantages.
The players are human,
a pair like Tao Cheng Wu and Hai Tang
is a good troop but
you have to use them correctly.

Zhen Zhi:
Understood.

Long Ma: (in English)
Dive.

Ju Wan: (in English)
D I V E.

Long Ma: (in English)
Abandon. (?)

Ju Wan:
A B C D, oh no, wrong.
C B D E. oh no, wrong.
A, ah wrong.
Long Ma.
Don't give me such a long vocabulary word.

Long Ma:
Then you tell the teacher not to test you on such a long vocabulary word.
Get up. We're continuing.

Ju Wan:
Save me.

Lin Qi:
I think
we still need to shorten Ju Wan's practice time
and have him pass the test first.

Da Shi:
All right.
