[Comprehensive] The Light Chaser

"Wow, is this the High School Affiliated to Lihai University?"

Shiita Urayama, 12, opened his eyes wide as he walked along the seaside road to the top of the ramp.

What appeared in front of him were the simple and conspicuous words "Lihai University Affiliated Middle School Junior High School".The wall of the school gate, which is not considered grand, is only as high as one person, but the marble with traces of time brings a heavy feeling.

He stopped in his tracks, gasping involuntarily.

"That's... Senior Sanada?"

His eyes stopped on a tall boy in school uniform at the school gate.

The boy wearing the armband stands straight and looks straight ahead. When he sees the teacher, he will say hello loudly. Those who are watched by him will reflexively check whether there is any prohibition on themselves: such as whether the hair is dyed or whether the school uniform is worn tidy……

Eh, no, does Li Haida have a rule not to dye hair?

"I didn't expect Senior Sanada to look like this without a hat," Urayama said in a low voice.

"Too slack!" He shouted in a low voice.

Pu Shan couldn't help shaking, and took a step back.

Then he noticed that everyone else around him was doing the same thing.

Except for one person.

The boy who was also wearing a school uniform did not button the top button of his shirt. With his conspicuous silver hair and braids tied up with red hair ropes, Pu Shan instantly recognized who he was.

Masaharu Nioh, one of the main candidates of Lihai University Tennis Club.

Wow, is it Nioh-senpai?

Urayama, who had known Rikkai University for a long time and had prepared for the Rikkai University entrance exam for the tennis club, clenched his fists excitedly.Could it be that he had the opportunity to see the dispute between the two main candidates at the school gate?

...Hmm, this doesn't seem like a good thing?

While he was thinking wildly, the silver-haired boy had already walked through the school gate.

He purposely took a detour, walked behind Sanada, and patted Sanada's junior: "First day of school, relax a bit, deputy director~"

The "Deputy Minister" with a teasing tone made Pu Shan wow.

"As expected of Senior Nioh."

"...you can supervise the training if you have nothing to do." Sanada said with a frown.

"Too serious will scare the freshmen." Ren Wang clicked his tongue, "The student union election last semester, you were not elected as the head of the discipline department because too many people complained, right? Liu Sheng is the president of the student union .”

"To shut up."

"Don't be angry because I told the truth."

"..."

Their voices were muffled for this part of the conversation, so the others who stepped back didn't hear anything.At least Urayama, who had been paying attention to them all the time, only saw that Nioh smiled and said something while Sanada frowned helplessly.

He thought it really was the Li Haida he was looking forward to!The relationship between the candidates is so good!Although Sanada-senpai looks so serious in the past, he can get along well with other main candidates!

On the first day of school, before the first class, I met the tennis club senior I longed for, which kept Shiita Urayama in high spirits throughout the day.

He did not hesitate to write the men's tennis club on the application for joining the club distributed at the class meeting.

"Hey, Pu Shan, do you like tennis?" The tablemate next to him came over.

"Yeah, my dream is to join the tennis club of Lihai University!" Then win the national championship!

"Tennis club. I have already won two national championships, and I have won [-] consecutive regional championships... Really amazing, Pu Shan." The tablemate sighed.

Pu Shan was a little embarrassed: "No..."

"However, I heard that the tennis club has very strict requirements for membership. Of course, the football club and baseball club are also very strict. After all, there is an upper limit for the number of students in Lihai University's student club."

Eh?

Maximum number of people?

Pu Shan opened his eyes wide: "What do you mean?"

"That's right, it's not a school rule in black and white, but for some reason, the number of people in sports clubs generally has an upper limit." The deskmate gave an example, "For example, the tennis club has never had more than [-] people. They are all around [-]." .”

"Fifty……?"

Pu Shan began to count with his fingers.

In the video of last year's national competition that he watched many times, only one of Lihai University's main candidates was a third-year student, and the rest were all second-year students.And the non-school teams in the auditorium couldn't tell their age.According to the minimum number of people, there are more than ten, right?At that time, there were estimated to be more than ten or twenty first-year students.Calculated in this way, is there only a dozen or twenty positions left for freshmen? !

Can I join the tennis club? !

With such a mood, he changed into his sportswear and brought a tennis bag after class, and went to the tennis court nervously.

It is not difficult to find the tennis club of Lihai University, because the tennis court is adjacent to the high school.Four outdoor tennis courts surround the social office and the indoor tennis court, three of which are close to the direction of the teaching building, and the other is behind the indoor tennis court.

"So many people... ah..." Pu Shan took his application form for joining the club, and looked at the crowd in front of the three tennis courts and started to stagger.

Where can I sign up?

Are these people here to sign up?

So can I join in?

He was so frustrated that the hair on the top of his head stopped spinning.

Then he heard a voice from the center of the crowd: "Everyone, don't crowd, line up and come here to get the rackets and tennis balls....Sorry, those who didn't come in sportswear will not participate in today's member selection activities."

……what?

Five minutes later he managed to reach the table in front of the tennis court.

There were two teenagers sitting behind the desk, one was taller and the other looked very calm. Although Pu Shan was not a familiar face, he still felt pressure from these two teenagers that was hard to describe in words.

"Well, I'm Shiita Urayama..." He introduced himself in a low voice.

"Shiita Urayama." The tall boy smiled at him with a very gentle voice, "Group B for one year. Are you sure you want to join the tennis club?"

"Yes... yes!" Pu Shan nodded vigorously, "I want to join the tennis club!"

"Well, okay. Have you changed your clothes already?" He glanced at Pu Shan, "Is your dominant hand right-handed or left-handed? Do you have a racket you are accustomed to? Well, you seem to have brought..."

"I brought a racket! The dominant hand is the right hand!" Pu Shan said loudly.

"Okay." The tall boy smiled.He registered Pu Shan's basic information on the paper, and pointed to the door of the tennis court that opened behind him, "You know that you need to be assessed to join the club, right? Don't be nervous, just go in, and the seniors inside will take you to do a few things Practice and see how good your swing and return are."

"I'm ready!"

Compared with the hustle and bustle at the entrance, the stadium should be much more orderly.

Pu Shan was at a loss as soon as he walked in, when a dark-skinned senior walked up to him.

"Ah, Kuwahara-senpai!" Pu Shan said in surprise.

"You know me?" Kuwahara was also surprised.He touched the back of his head and smiled: "You are called..."

"Urayama, I'm Urayama Shiita!"

"Pu Shan-kun." Kuwahara led Pu Shan into the court, "The entrance examination for the tennis club is divided into three items, one is swing, the other is hitting the ball, and the third is speed measurement. Let's start with the first item. "

Pu Shan just completed the assessment for joining the company.

The assessment of the swing is very simple, just look at the movement of the swing, and answer basic questions, such as how long have you been playing tennis, what kind of shots you are good at, have you ever played singles, doubles, or Jr games.

A spot-kick is hitting a can at half court.There are nine cans on the opposite side of the court, in the shape of an inverted triangle, distributed in all directions on the court, and the position of the bottom corner of the center line is more important.And he has a total of nine chances to see how many cans he can hit.

As for the mobile speed measurement, it is a ten-meter horizontal and vertical round-trip run, and the time of five round-trips is measured, that is, two 100-meter speed measurements.

Pu Shan was a little out of breath after the complete assessment, and he looked at Kuwahara nervously.

Kuwahara had a notebook in his hand and a stopwatch around his neck.He raised his head and saw Pu Shan's expression after writing down the grades, and he couldn't help comforting him, "Mr. Pu Shan's basic skills are very solid."

"Ah, thank you for the compliment." Pu Shan said shyly.

He was about to ask to see if he had passed the entrance examination when he heard a noise coming from the entrance of the tennis court.

"Yes...it's the right choice!"

"Senior Sanada and Senior Liu!"

"Senior Nioh and Yagyu are also here!"

"Wow, the aura is so strong!"

Amid the exclamations of the freshmen, the Zhengxuan who came together walked into the field assigned to the freshman test.

"It's enough to have Kuwahara and Marui, and Hasegawa and Chiyan have been dragged by you to help." Niwang walked behind Liu's side and complained softly, "Must we all appear?"

"Establish the image of the king of Lihai University Tennis Club." Liu said.

"That's not necessary..."

"Everyone has to be there. This is Sanada's decision," Liu said.

"Sanada? Sanada would make such an inexplicable proposal?" Nioh didn't believe it at all, "Say it straight up, Liu, it's Yukimura's idea, right? I know he came to report today, but it's just because he missed too many classes last time There are two more dangerous ones in the final exam, so I was called by the teacher to the office to take care of them."

"King Ren." Liu Qing coughed, "It's good that you know, why bother to say it."

King Ren arched his back and clicked his tongue.

He felt that it would be better to play two more games to see the freshmen.I don’t know how many freshmen who come to sign up can stay. There are actually quite a few places to join the club, but the high-intensity basic training in the first week will directly wipe out a group of people who only want to be the king of Lihai but don’t want to work hard. , and wait until the first main selection trial, another group of insufficient strength will be wiped out, until all members remain at around 50 people.Besides, the club registration lasts for three days, so if you come on the first day, it means you have to come in the remaining two days?

Too much time wasting, right?

"King Ni." There was a hint of warning in Liu's voice, "You..."

"what?"

Liu's words were interrupted by Niwang.

The bored people looked at the stadium casually, but were caught by a peculiar hairstyle.

His own silver hair is already very conspicuous, and he has braids. He has been complained several times that he "just looks like a bad student".But he noticed that the newborn's hair was a mixture of light orange and light gold, and it was curled into a spiral shape, which looked very conspicuous on the top of his head.And that junior is still blushing...or is it because the weather is too hot and dry?

Judging by Kuwahara's expression, that junior seems to be doing pretty well?

"That junior..." King Ni was about to show Liu Ye the junior with the peculiar hairstyle, when he heard another commotion behind him.

what happened again?

Who else is cooler than a large number of our main candidates?

Um?It seems that there is-

"Wow, it's Yukimura! That Yukimura Seichi!"

"Son of God!"

"I heard that Yukimura seems to be sick and out of school... It really is a rumor!"

The first-year ranks were separated again.

Small exclamations continued to come.

Nioh turned his head, just in time to see Yukimura walking in wearing a sweatshirt and a sports coat, wearing a headband and holding a racket in his hand, with the smile they are most familiar with on his face.At that moment, King Ni swallowed all his complaints.

What... are you so handsome?

but……

"Finally back, Yukimura," he said.

"You left too fast, you didn't wait for me." Yukimura said.

"The minister should act on his own, to show his uniqueness." Niwang teased.

Yukimura smiled and shook his head.

He walked forward step by step until he reached the front of the stopped main selection team.And Kuwahara also put down the booklet in his hand and returned to the main selection team.

"It's the first time I've met you. I'm Yukimura Seichi, the head of the Rikkai Tennis Club."

"Glad that everyone has chosen to join the tennis team."

"In the days to come, some students will join us in the middle school tennis league."

"Our Lihai University is a team that is constantly striving for the national championship. I hope everyone will remember the spirit of Lihai University."

"Chang Sheng Li Hai Da! We are the kings!"

Pu Shan stared blankly at the Qingjuan youth who said these words.

He gave a small wow and tightened his grip on his racket.

I...I must join Lihai Tennis Club!
