Reclaiming glory starts with LGD

Chapter 37 Indifference

On one hand, he was thinking that they were just teammates, so why should he interfere too much in other people's affairs outside of the game?

On the one hand, I really feel sorry for Pu Shen. It's only right for a coach to be responsible for the players.

Then there was a sense of disappointment and frustration with IMP.

Despite LGD's current high level of training, IMP remains the least dedicated member of the team.

Even so, the casual plays he makes on the field surpass what others strive for their entire lives.

Perhaps this is what it means to be a prodigy, a darling of the heavens.

Coupled with early fame and fortune, the lack of ambition makes things even more natural.

Jiang Xia took IMP's drinking and smoking issues very seriously, but he also understood that he couldn't rush things.

He understood how IMP felt, so young and alone in a foreign land—lost, anxious, with no one to talk to...

I need something to relieve myself.

But to solve his drinking problem, we first need to lower IMP's guard.

Let him truly integrate into the team; without worries, who would want to drink this stuff?

But now, Jiang Xia feels he can't just ignore this situation.

............

After playing against RNG, there's a week-long break, whereas LGD used to have a short two-day break.

Early in the morning, Pyl, Eimy, and IMP were all packing their things.

"What are you trying to do?"

"It's holiday time, Brother Jiang! Let's go out for two days, hehe."

Pyl smiled broadly as he thought about meeting his girlfriend soon.

Just like before, they go out to see their girlfriends whenever they have a holiday.

Everyone does it this way, so it's normal.

"Who said you guys were on holiday?" Jiang Xia's gaze swept over everyone.

"Huh? It's always been like this."

Seeing Jiang Xia's serious expression, Pyl's smile slowly faded, realizing that something seemed amiss.

"Alright, from today onwards, it's a rule that, except for off-season leave, you are not allowed to go to the club even once!"

"You guys spoiled him rotten. He has to go out every two days. Is playing professionally so stressful?"

"Put everything down and get to the training room!"

Eimy was the first to put down her backpack, shrinking her neck in fear.

Although Marin couldn't understand what the coach was saying, she could tell he was really angry; this was probably the first time.

He knew his teammates were going out to play today.

This has always happened when we lost a game, let alone when we went on the field and won.

But deep down he felt that this was wrong and had tried to persuade IMP more than once.

But he had never heard of it.

The aura emanating from Jiang Xia made everyone somewhat silent and trembling.

The club fell silent for a moment.

Tabe and Heart kept exchanging glances, unsure of what to say.

Jiang Xia's gaze remained icy: "You like playing around, huh? Then don't come to play professionally. Do you believe I can replace you anytime?"

Pyl glanced at Knight beside her, completely trusting him, and silently put down her backpack.

He can tell whether love or bread is more important.

Moreover, Brother Jiang is genuinely good to them.

"Don't be angry, Brother Jiang. I'll listen to you from now on and train hard." Eimy forced an awkward smile.

"Me too. Now that there are regulations, I won't do any more nonsense." Pyl then gave an awkward laugh.

Under Jiangxia's murderous gaze, he silently returned to the training room.

"And you?" He turned to look at IMP, who had an innocent look on his face.

"I want to go out."

IMP is still being stubborn; he made plans to go out for drinks with his girlfriend and can't break his promise.

He didn't think it was a big deal, and he didn't take the coach's threat to heart.

The last coach who threatened him is gone.

At LGD, IMP isn't afraid of anyone; he feels things are the same as before.

If management had to choose between him and someone else, they would only choose themselves.

"I told you, once you leave this room, you can forget about playing another match for LGD."

IMP is still moving outwards, but at a much slower pace.

For some reason, IMP suddenly felt a little scared.

He felt that the current coach was quite different from the previous mediocre ones.

The atmosphere at the base became quieter.

Nobody understood why the usually approachable Brother Jiang had suddenly become so frightening today.

IMP was about to leave.

Pyl, the team leader, reacted instantly and rushed over.

"Don't laugh, I don't know how to train without you."

The IMP stubbornly tried to break free, but it didn't use much strength.

"Don't think that your future will be so comfortable. The training will only get more and more tiring, and discipline is also very important to me."

"At least, Deft is very disciplined."

Jiang Xia's words made IMP freeze in place, as if he were about to drop his pearls at any moment.

"I...I..."

He couldn't utter a single word.

At this moment, Heart quickly stepped forward.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. It's not a big deal. Just listen to the coach. I'll write down this rule later and we'll strictly follow it."

Pyl then pulled IMP back to his seat in the training room.

This incident has affected the atmosphere at LGD today.

The training room wasn't as exciting as it used to be.

Eimy and Pyl didn't smile much either.

It was very late.

Tabe felt that Jiang Xia wasn't the type of person who would lose his temper for no reason.

So he asked about his doubts.

"You yelled at them like that today, it seems like all the relationships you built up before have been wasted." Tabe felt that the atmosphere where Jiang Xia joked around with the team members and got along well with them was so great.

He felt that this was the right thing to do, but now that he sees Jiangxia is different, he can't quite understand it.

Jiang Xia looked at the unusually quiet training room today, and then at the name tag on his chest.

"I really enjoy communicating with people and getting along well with them. A good atmosphere makes people feel comfortable."

But now I'm a coach, and when necessary, I have to disregard whether I can get along well with the players. What I want is to keep the job going, and for them and for us to get better and better..."

Tabe saw Jiang Xia's determination and felt even more strongly that being a coach was incredibly difficult.

.........

"The coach from Siba insulted me, just like that bastard Mata."

"I'm not fighting anymore, you can go find someone else, go find Deft..."

"I want to go home..."

"Waaaaah~"

Marin was almost numb listening to IMP's sleep-talking, which was clearly influenced by alcohol.

The kid threw a tantrum, though he just thought the coach was right.

I really can't understand why IMP wants to find a girlfriend in China.

To put it bluntly, these South Korean players come to China despite being looked down upon, their true purpose being to make money.

Academic performance is secondary, let alone such childish things.

Xiba can't understand these things, what an idiot!

He's beyond saving. Without League of Legends, he'd probably be nothing but a useless brat!

.........

Lying in bed, Jiang Xia answered a phone call.

"Hey, Sister Pan."

"Did you insult IMP?" a female voice came from the other end of the phone.

Jiang Xia was stunned. The news spread so fast?

It seems like LGD still has a mole inside.

"What, you think you can't be criticized just because of your prestigious reputation? You want me to get lost too?"

"Heh, now you're our star player. But IMP hasn't had it easy either, coming to LGD at such a young age..."

Jiang Xia interrupted, "Don't worry, Sister Pan, I know what I'm doing. Besides, as a player, you know what you should and shouldn't do. Don't you want LGD to stand at the top again?"
