[Xingren] Faith

Tennis is very important to Yukimura and to Nioh.

This is all they struggled for when they were young, it is a memory they have without fear and no regrets, and it is also the emotional connection between them and their teammates who are devoted to each other.

When Nioh saw the familiar training ground and dormitory from the car window, he also felt a little sentimental for no reason.

The car was parked in the parking space next to the main building.

Before getting out of the car, Yukimura said to Nioh: "You can stroll around casually, I'll talk to the coach."

"Puff, would you like to explain to me first?" Nioh unbuckled his seat belt and turned his head sideways.

Yukimura smiled: "Two days ago, coach Saito called me and asked me if I would like to come and give guidance to the juniors. I just want to come and have a look."

King Ren was taken aback after hearing this.

He didn't show anything on his expression, he just hooked the corners of his lips carelessly: "Then I'll go and play by myself."

"Just don't spoil the juniors," Yukimura said.

"Pfft." King Ren tilted his head lazily, "How can I still have that ability now?"

Yukimura smiled.

After getting out of the car and walking slowly on the border of more than a dozen tennis courts, listening to the sound of hitting the ball, Nio fully recovered.

The U17 training camp is not much different from when they were there. There are still [-] courts, and basic training is carried out on the court in batches.

The teenagers waving their rackets in the arena also had a vigorous look.

Seeing this, King Ren couldn't help but stop: I want to come and have a look...

Yukimura's words inexplicably made his heart skip a beat.

Do you really just want to come and see, or...

what else?

He shook his head and decided not to go any further.

Over there, Yukimura went straight to the office building.

He walked to the monitoring room at the end of the corridor familiarly (although he hasn't been here for a long time, the decoration hasn't changed).

Raising his hand and knocking twice, Yukimura waited for a few seconds before pushing the door open and entering.

"You're here." While rubbing his forehead, which had been bumped several times a day for decades, Qing, who had drooped eyelids while holding a coffee cup...it should be said that the middle-aged man turned his head , said hello to Yukimura without distraction.

"Long time no see, Coach Saito." Yukimura nodded, "Is Coach Kurobe here?"

"Occasionally, there are times when I take the lead." Saito said quietly.

He was silent for a while looking at Yukimura's smiling face, then shrugged his shoulders in surrender: "Kurobe went to inspect, come back later."

"It seems that you have had a good life these past few years." Yukimura said.

Putting the coffee cup on the table beside him, Coach Saito felt that as a well-known spiritual coach, he needed to show his ability: "Yukimura, what did you think about what you said earlier?"

"Let me see first." Yukimura said.

Saito blinked: "Haven't you already seen it?"

Yukimura immediately understood what Coach Saito meant.

He shook his head amusedly: "Coach, I haven't played tennis for so many years, how can you be so sure that I can still guide others?"

"Because you are Seiichi Yukimura." Saito said with a smile and certainty in his voice, "You are Seiichi Yukimura, so you can't give up tennis completely. As for the level... To be honest, the talents in your class back then were too great. There are too many, which makes me look at those boys very displeased now."

He paused, then raised his head slightly: "Xingcun, can't you deal with a group of brats who don't even know the state of selflessness?"

Yukimura raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "Can't you even open the realm of selflessness?"

"Yeah, yeah, I can't do anything about it." Saito began to complain, "You see, the World Championship is half a year ahead of schedule, so the middle school league has to be postponed. But the middle school league is the most important thing to improve strength. Time. Besides, the children in recent years don’t know what’s going on. One batch is worse than the other. Many people only started to learn tennis because of your name in that class. I thought, if it’s you, There must be a way."

Yukimura was helpless and moved by a kind of confusion when he heard it.

He tilted his head: "Let me take a look first before making a decision."

"...What do you want to see?" Saito asked puzzled.

Yukimura stretched out a finger: "What's the point of watching it in the training ground? Of course, I'm going to see the defeated group....You still divide into groups and throw the defeated group to the back mountain, right?"

Saito looked gloomy: "That's right. But I want you to help me because I lose to Mifune-senpai every time."

"So I want to see the progress of Houshan first." Yukimura smiled and shook his head, "Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win every battle."

"Alright then, I'll tell senior Sanchuan to send you there."

"No need." Yukimura said, "I know the way."

Nodding his head, Saito originally planned to say goodbye to Yukimura and let him go to "take a look" as soon as possible to make a decision, but suddenly caught another figure in the monitor.

He raised his eyebrows hesitantly: "Didn't you come alone?"

"Of course I'm not alone." Yukimura said bluntly, "I think the scenery here is good, and it should be suitable for talking about love."

"...Falling in love?!" Saito was really surprised at this moment, he pointed to a certain white head on the monitor that had already met the coach Kuo Zhi who was on the field and the ghost who stayed as the coach :"you and him?"

"Yeah." Yukimura smiled and stretched out a finger in front of his lips, making a "hush" look, "However, I'm still in the pursuit stage, coach, just pretend that you didn't hear me for the time being." See it."

Saito's hand trembled, and he accidentally knocked off the coffee cup that was in his hand.

The porcelain quilt fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.

He didn't have time to clean up the cup that he had broken, so he could only look at Yukimura with admiration: "I haven't seen you for so many years, you... are getting better and better."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Of course Yukimura didn't know what Nioh said in the monitoring room.

When he was wandering around, he bumped into coach Saito and Oni. Although he didn't have much friendship, he spent more than four years in the U17 training camp. He was selected for the national team every time, and he was able to say a few words.

"But, are you here for sightseeing?" the ghost asked suspiciously.

There is no strict rule that idlers cannot enter the training camp. In fact, in order to ensure a certain income and investment, many investors and media reporters also exist from time to time.

King Ren shook his head: "I just came up to take a look."

"Isn't this sightseeing?" The ghost didn't know why.

Tuozhi seemed to have thought of something: "Are you here with Yukimura-kun?"

Nodding his head, King Ni twitched his lips: "Yukimura said that you want him to be your guide."

"That's true." Coach Kuo Zhi nodded frankly: "Technical things can be taught, but spiritual things should be taught by someone."

"It seems that these people are not very good." Niwang commented unceremoniously.

The ghost shook his head helplessly: "How many talented seedlings can we produce in a year?"

"Is that why you value Tokugawa-san so much, senior?" King Ni joked.

Remembering the past, Ghost paused and snorted softly: "I'm not the only one who values ​​Tokugawa. His ATP ranking this year is about to enter the top [-]."

After cutting off the topic, Ghost paused, and couldn't help but wonder: "Is your relationship with Yukimura good? So you can't tell."

"Pfft, he is our minister." King Ren said.

This cannot be used to explain the relationship between the two people.But the ghost is just asking casually—he, Yukimura, and Nioh are not familiar with each other.

But if you want to stay out of the cold, you need to find something to talk about?

Anyway, King Ni doesn't care.

He personally finds it interesting to see the ghost trying his best to find some topics to chat with, and he feels more and more that this senior has a pure heart that doesn't match his appearance.Before he could find some more topics to tease, Yukimura, who had already abducted from the monitoring room, stood not far away and called him.

"King Ni?" The man with purple-blue hair smiled and waved, "Come here, we should go."

"Let's go?" Coach Tuo Zhi asked in confusion.

Yukimura nodded: "I have to go and see Coach Mifune."

The back mountain where the defeated team trained was actually the place that coach Sanchuan decided after several inspections. Even the training ground in front was built after the selection of the back mountain.

This mountain meets all the requirements for the special training method unique to Mifune.

For example, one side is a rock climbing site that is not too high or too steep and has a certain degree of difficulty.For another example, the other side is connected with woods and caves, as well as streams and valleys.For another example, the top of a mountain is not a peak face but a natural flat land.

In summary, the mountain and the woods behind it are certainly a suitable place for special training, and the scenery alone is also very good.

It took a long time for the loser group to be driven away by Big Bara before arriving at the mountain, but there is a shortcut from the training ground to get there—otherwise, Coach Saito would not have waited in advance with the two first-year students. there.

Nioh was called by Yukimura to walk to the back of the mountain together, and it was inevitable to mention the players of the winner's group who were still training in the field.

"Coach Saito told me just now that the players in this batch are not very good," Yukimura said.

Nioh blinked: "Is that why Coach Saito asked you to come? Guide me on the use of mental power?"

"Let me say that if I can't comprehend it, I can't comprehend it. How can there be anything to teach about spiritual power?" Yukimura smiled and sighed.

"But you really want to come, don't you?" Niwang looked over with a smile, "Your expression is saying that you really want to come."

"There is also an advertising project in cooperation with the Atobe family." Yukimura said.

Nioh knew that this was Yukimura's tactful expression of his wishes: he said "there is" instead of "yes", which shows that he has actually agreed to do this in his heart.

He paused in his steps, and found that Yukimura's figure was the same as in middle school: not very tall, but full of security, warm as water, but also fierce as fire.

"I still don't quite understand why you called me to come with you." He followed Yukimura's footsteps.

After brewing for a while, Yukimura tilted his head slightly: "You will know later."
