[Comprehensive] The Light Chaser

Regarding Kirihara's matter, Nio thought about it again and again, but still did not intervene.

One is because he really doesn't know much about Kirihara, so he has no position to guide anything.The second is that rash intervention is almost equivalent to questioning the decision of teammates face to face.Nioh has no intention of changing the decision-making situation of Lihai Big Three.He has indeed been participating in the so-called "high-level meetings", but tried not to express redundant views.After all, his understanding of the tennis club is not deep enough, and he is only familiar with those few people, and he has many problems that have not been resolved.

Pretty selfish, right?

Thinking of this, Nioh turned over and sat up on the bed in the infirmary.

Kirihara had already gone back, the doctor was on duty in the next room, and he was the only one in this room at this time.

And now...

Swish.

He draws back the curtains.

When the white fox jumped in from the window, King Ni was sitting on the bed thinking about his thoughts.Reflexively, he stretched out his hand to the white fluff, and actually embraced the white fox.

"?" King Ren was a little surprised.He raised his hand and rubbed the white fox's tail: "Should you explain?"

"Me? You should be the one who should explain." The white fox narrowed his eyes, "Think about it carefully, is there something you forgot to do?"

forgot to do?

King Ni frowned: "Are you talking about Honmaru? I tried, but I can't get in."

"Can't get in?"

The white fox broke free from King Ren's hand, and put his paw on King Ren's lower abdomen: "...your spiritual power..."

"Gone."

"Have you overdrawn?" The white fox thought thoughtfully, "How do you feel now?"

"How do you feel? To be honest, I don't feel much, but I'm a little relieved..."

Snapped.

The white fox jumped up from his arms and stepped on his face.

King Ren was hit on the nose from the front, and couldn't help but lay on his back on the bed.He rubbed his sore nose and said dissatisfiedly, "Hey, you..."

"You actually feel relieved?"

The voice sounded like it was angry.

Niwang opened his eyes wide in surprise at first, and then suddenly realized.

He covered his nose: "Puri, shouldn't I breathe a sigh of relief? The lives of ordinary middle school students are very happy."

White Fox: "..."

King Ni met the white fox's eyes.

The white fox had probably already reacted, staring at him with bright yellow eyes, with indescribable emotions.This inexplicable emotion was reflected in Niwang's heart, making him purse his lips.He let go of his hand and turned his head a little anxiously.

The white fox took two steps forward, brushing Nio's cheek with his tail.

It was going to try to comfort the kid as much as possible.

"Having a tantrum is something a three-year-old child would do. You are no longer a child." It said, "I will tell you what I can explain and say. Until now, I haven't told you lie?"

This is true.

As long as you consider that this fox is "Nio Masaharu", and then think about it, you will firmly believe that the person who is treated like this is special.

King Ren was still very awkward.

Unspeakably awkward.

He grabbed the white fox's tail and sat up: "What are you going to do? Change the past?"

The white fox didn't answer.

But Nioh didn't ask the question just for the answer: "From the perspective of dialectics, I can't know your purpose, right? If I guess it, then your purpose will fail. But there are too many The feeling of doubt is too bad, like being controlled by something. Ah, I am also controlled by you, am I not?"

"Calm down," said the white fox.

"I'm very calm now, and I'm not going into a dead end." King Ni's hand became more and more forceful, and he pinched the white fox's tail, "I didn't even ask you about those flower demons, you must have chosen a case for me to deal with. Participating, if those flower demons can cause special influence in the future, then they have a special role. But I can't know about this, right?"

White Fox: "..."

"It's a good idea to only live in the present moment. What I should ask you are more practical questions. For example, will my spiritual power be restored? In fact, it's okay if it won't be restored. To be honest, an ordinary middle school student doesn't really need this. Even if I can play without spiritual power. Of course the strength may drop but that can be explained.”

The white fox endured and endured, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He drew back his tail, and flung it on Nioh's face.

Niwang: "... fierce."

The white fox tilted his head, a little helpless: "What do you think spiritual power is? If you say it exists, you can say it doesn't?"

"The power of the soul." King Ni blinked, "But if you are overdrawn, you need recovery time, right?"

"...just rest for a few days."

"That's why you asked Senior Byodoin and Yukimura to tell me that the doctor advised me to give up the trials?" King Ni narrowed his eyes.

The white fox was very wronged: "Your injury was hit by a stone, and you really need to rest. And you said that you can play without spiritual power."

"But I always feel that you still have a conspiracy."

White Fox: "..."

It snorted, not intending to continue messing around with the kid.

It stretched out its claws and grabbed it in the air, the light lit up, and a blue guardian appeared in the air.It put the Omoru in King Ni's hand: "Take it well."

"You did it?" Nioh looked at Yushou and hesitated for a moment.

The white fox narrowed his eyes: "...what?"

"The taste is different from that of mother's." Nioh said.

The white fox rolled his eyes: "The effect is the same."

"No, I always feel that the effect of mother's cooking will be better."

"...You will know next time you try it yourself. As long as you have enough spiritual power to make this kind of basic amulet, it will have the same effect." The white fox snorted, "Can you still open the Honmaru mall? It’s okay to do research.”

After it finished speaking, it was about to leave, but was stopped by King Ni again.

"I remember what you said, yesterday's action is my regularization assessment?"

"Puri?"

"What about the grade? Pass or fail?"

"...Let's talk about it after you recover from your injury." The white fox turned his head, "There is no need to patrol these days."

"still have a question."

"Say."

"Will teenagers' high blood pressure affect human health?" Nioh asked.

The white fox didn't understand at first: "You can find out about this kind of problem by searching the Internet? I'm not a doctor, how can I understand."

"Will Chiya become a professional player in the future?"

"That kid..." The white fox paused.He narrowed his eyes: "You..."

"Or, did he solve the problem of demonization during the national competition?" Nioh was not frightened by the white fox's expression at all, "You made me dream of the doubles match between me and Atobe, and it's okay to reveal anything else." Is it okay? Oh, yes, this is also something that confuses me. Why can Atobe and I be attuned?"

"...Think for yourself." The white fox snorted and jumped out of the window.

Nioh let out a long breath and closed the curtains again.He lay on the bed looking at the ceiling in the darkness for a while before closing his eyes.

Sure enough, he was dreaming again.

It was a place I had seen once in my dream.

He automatically assumes this is the U17 tennis camp—and there's no other explanation.

There are many people in the training camp, all wearing red and white sportswear.He didn't find himself, but saw a familiar person.Yukimura, Atobe, and Senior Taneshima who is teaching them.

The picture flashed quickly, and when it stopped, he saw Liu and Baishi.

It seems that the time and place have changed, two people talking next to a bus.

There is also Kirihara who is crying in a mess not far away.

What does it mean?

The scene jumps again.

It's a tennis court.

Kirihara and Shiraishi stood together on the court, opposite them were two high school students.

And Kirihara used... wait what is this?Can black hair turn white?Disposable hair dye is not so fast, is it?Could it be caused by supernatural forces?But why are the eyes redder?skin too...

Really not a burst blood vessel?

Will it become like this after being demonized? !

Niwang opened his eyes wide.

He watched the development carefully, but the dream was not under his control.

He watched Kirihara get emotional and the rhythm of the game was messed up, while Shiraishi kept trying to control the field but failed.

this kid...

Did you decide to continue with violent tennis after thinking about it?

No, there are changes!

Nioh looked at Shiraishi who was holding Kirihara's hand.

He couldn't hear what they were saying, and it seemed funny to stop and talk in the middle of the game.But King Ni saw Kirihara, who gradually calmed down following Shiraishi's words.

His eyes... turned back.

But the skin is still red, is it getting better or worse?The rhythm has become orderly, and the intensity of the fifth dimension is still the same as when it was demonized.This is probably a good thing?

but……

Can this color of skin be considered the same as the white light in the realm of no-self?After all, people will blush when they are shy, and when the blood circulation is active, the skin of the whole body turns red...

No, I can't convince myself.

Niwang woke up and was still thinking about this question.

He thought, how about going to fight with Kirihara?Take a serious look at what demonization really is.

But when he rolled over and sat up, he suddenly felt dizzy.

The body has gained weight, which I hadn't felt the day before.

A little bit of spiritual power could be vaguely felt at the dantian's position, but it was more of a vortex-like absorption, draining his strength.Niwang sat on the edge of the bed and took a breath, wondering why the white fox said he would rest for a few days...

Isn't this the same feeling of powerlessness that he felt after dreaming more than a year ago? !

It must be the white fox holding the grudge!

Is it really impossible to participate in the training and selection now?

Nioh's pity lasted only a few hours.

Because the reporter from Tennis Weekly came to the training camp and brought the latest news about the US team.

The Avenger named Kebin, and the challenge to Echizen Ryoma.

The opponent has a clear goal, and King Ni is too lazy to wade into the muddy water.

Nioh's weakness lasted until the last day of the training camp.

Yukimura was still observing Nioh's condition at first, but when he saw that Nioh hadn't recovered, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.Nioh could feel the changes in himself, so he told Yukimura that he would definitely be fine before the national competition.

"I'm not worried about this." Yukimura said helplessly, "You...forget it, your problem may not be solved by a doctor."

Nioh: ...

Minister, tell me what plot you have imagined?

"Is Chiya's matter resolved?" He changed the subject.

"It's half solved." Yukimura frowned slightly, "If it's not completely solved before the final of the national competition..."

"The problem with Chi Ye is that he can't control himself." King Ni proposed, "Aren't you going to teach him the state of selflessness?"

"His basic skills are not good enough, and the no-self state consumes too much energy." Yukimura said, he has always disliked using the no-self state, "but you are right, the demonization is too out of control, and this problem must be solved."

"If you can't solve it, let me try?" King Ren tentatively asked.

"...You?" Yukimura couldn't believe it, "You actually asked for help?"

King Ni: "...Minister, I have never been lazy."

"Just kidding." Yukimura frowned, "Maybe it's really possible. He also planned to develop a trick to deal with left-handed people."

"Left-handed... Tezuka again?" Nioh raised his eyebrows.

Yukimura smiled and said: "Why can't it be you? You are also left-handed. You can also become any left-handed opponent. Right-handed is also fine."

Nioh: "..."

Phantom is not that useful, thanks.

A day later, the training camp held the final selection qualifying match.

King Ren voluntarily abstained.In addition to him, Tezuka also abstained from a hand injury that has not fully healed.In the case of two people withdrawing, there have been some changes in the personnel of Group A and Group B.

In the end, the members of Group A were Yukimura, Sanada, Sengoku and Atobe, and the members of Group B were Fuji, Echizen, Shinozu, Yanagi and Tachibana.

Tachibana faced Kirihara again in the final challenge.

As one of the "two heroes of Kyushu", he seems to have figured out something in this training camp, and in contrast to him is Kirihara, who has suddenly changed his style.

Winning or losing is often determined by a simple factor, especially the higher the level of the game.

Tachibana probably guessed the reason for Kirihara's restraint.He looked at the dazed young man opposite him, as if he saw himself who had been dazed for more than half a year.

But not necessary.

What has been done wrong, no amount of repentance can change the result.The only thing that can change is what hasn't happened.And if you let your hesitation take too much time, and you miss the opportunity to do something, then...

He thought of several third-year students from Lihai University who came to chat with him in turn yesterday.

Compared with the group of juniors at Fudo Peak, Kirihara on the opposite side is really very happy.

And he also learned something from Li Haida's people.

For example, the subtle inheritance between the predecessors and the descendants.

"You are very lucky to have a lot of seniors who care about you." He reached out to Kirihara after the game, "Even if it is for them, you have to cheer up quickly. Ah, what I said may be nonsense."

"...What?" Kirihara snorted, "I'm not thinking wildly."

Tachibana smiled and thought, I didn't say you were thinking wildly.

"Then say a few more words." Tachibana let go of his hand, "From the perspective of a tennis player, I don't think you did anything wrong in the semi-finals of the Kanto Tournament last time. That time I was inferior to others. I Tachibana Juping is not cowardly enough to escape reality."

Kirihara: "..."

"...It's really long-winded." Kirihara muttered.He looked up at Ju, pursed his lips and followed up: "Thank you for your advice, Senior Ju."

Ju raised his eyebrows and walked back to the team.

The members of Group A and Group B have been decided, but there can only be eight people in the competition. Who will be the one extra person?

"Substitutes." The coaches did not make a decision, but announced, "To prevent accidents, register two substitutes."

"Isn't this against the regulations?" A middle school student asked suspiciously.

"Rules?" Coach Saito waved his hand, "It's just a business competition, there are not so many rules."

Everyone: "..."
