[Xinwangwang] On that distant mountain

Ochi really didn't invite Maori for no reason.

At first, he just thought that Mao Li was a high school freshman with good strength and potential.Perhaps "Lihai University" has added a little halo to Maori, but considering the achievements of Lihai University's high school in recent years, it is hard to say whether such aura is positive or negative.

And the idea of ​​"cultivating a partner" while observing the first-year freshmen is only fleeting.

Then when did the idea of ​​"let's try to form a team with him" appear?

It was the game at the old ballpark behind the library.

In the middle of the game, an idea popped up.

The more I thought about it, the more I thought it was a good idea.

If you want to find out exactly when this "sudden" happened...

Sure enough, it was that time.

When he didn't use "spiritual assassination" very seriously and didn't get the expected results.

In any case, if you want to play doubles, your partner must at least not be affected by your mental power moves.

Considering this, Mao Li who was able to do this not only quickly separated from his mental skills, but also has no shortcomings in basic abilities such as speed, strength and physical fitness, and has also shown a solid foundation in technology.

In addition, those who can achieve the above points are just a freshman, and their potential and ability are yet to be developed.

Thinking about it this way, I think it might be a good idea to become a doubles partner with him.

As the head of the Ice Tei Tennis Club, the No.1 person who brought the Ice Tei Tennis Club into the national vision, Ochi has never lacked courage and determination.

Since he had such an idea, it was only natural for him to directly send out the invitation after the game.

As for what the invited juniors thought and saw, he didn't really care.

After all, it's just an experiment.

Whether the result of the attempt is good or bad, he is also mentally prepared.

There are still several months before the official U17 closed training this year, enough for him to make various attempts.

But even if he was mentally prepared, in Ochi's opinion, Mori still surprised him.

After the training that day, the indoor tennis court of the Ice Emperor Campus, where the sky had already darkened, was suggested by him to do pace coordination and a simple doubles match. The result was...

"...Are you good at doubles?" Ochi asked.

Mao Li with a smile on his face looked innocent: "Don't you know, senior? I used to play doubles."

Ochi: "..."

Are you kidding me, since the prefectural competition, you, Mori Kosaburo, have been in the third place in singles.And when I was still in junior high school, you, who were selected for the national competition as a first-year player, also played singles three.

As if seeing this kind of complaint from Ochi's silence, Mori blinked: "I probably know what you mean, senior. It's true that I'm playing singles in the high school of Rikkai University, but when I was in junior high school I also play doubles."

Ochi: "...Ping said, your national competition last year ended Shitenpoji's way to win the championship."

"Ping? Ping senior?" Mao Li thought for a while before suddenly realizing, "Ah, that scene. It's rare that I planned to settle the grievances with Yuan Zhe, but Yuan Zhe gave the opportunity to the younger generation. But say' Is it too late to say "end"? In the first two doubles matches, Sitianbaosi also lost by a big score."

This is true.

Maybe it's because I didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the middle school.

Ochi thought lightly.

If you have time, look for information about junior high school competitions.

Turning the perspective back to the present, Ochi, who ended his memory with the sound of Irie's saxophone playing, silently drank a whole can of ice milk.He folded the cardboard box and put it at hand, and when he looked up, he saw Irie finishing the performance.

He clapped his hands symbolically, thinking, if he was just looking for an excuse to play the saxophone, he must use the topic of Maori... It seems that he is not the only one who is concerned about Maori.

That's right, it's Irie after all.

... and ghosts are called "U17 double nanny", ah, no, it is Irie of "U17's parents".

Irie, who accepted a burst of unintentional clapping, put down the saxophone, saluted and stood up straight again.

He sat cross-legged again, put the saxophone into the box, and then raised his head.

"You are all perfunctory." He joked.

Taneshima leaned against the bedpost and teased: "There is no way, if you play the same instrument every night, no matter how nice it sounds, people who listen to it will feel bored."

Irie retorted: "I don't play every night."

"With the frequency we meet now, there is no difference between weekly and daily." Tanejima said.

The two routinely spar, and the others usually don't chime in.

...It should not be related to the invisible food chain of U17.Probably not.

After raising the bar, the "lying meeting" continued.

With so many people gathered, the topics of discussion tend to be serious.

Most of the time, Irie still prefers to go outside to find a place where you can see the stars and the moon, play the saxophone, or watch the original opera with a lamp on.It is "unusual" to have so many people gathered in Room 102, and this is why Ochi easily accepted the invitation to enter the room.

And it seems that after the joke, everyone is going to start talking about business.

"I heard that the competition system of this year's World Cup will be reformed, and the format of the competition may change a lot." Ghost said in a deep voice, "Have you heard any rumors?"

"There are more or less rumors." Mitsuya pushed his glasses and took out a notebook out of nowhere. "The most vicious rumor is the rumor of 'reduction of contestants'."

"It's messed up, the second army." Jiazhi sneered and sneered beside Mitsugu, "But 28 places are not many, how much can we reduce? The inability to play repeatedly in the preliminaries means that the team members have to exceed 21 people."

"24, and the substitutes are included in the list." Mitsuya corrected.

He turned over a page in his notebook, and his tone was still calm: "That's the news from our side, and we don't have any more information for now. But the seniors even called us, so the rumors must be wrong, right? "

The ghost folded his arms and nodded: "I just heard that people in the back stadium are panicking recently, so I wanted to call you here to ask. Has this rumor spread?"

Before the completion of the freshman selection, the distribution of each stadium is temporarily still in accordance with the final state before the start of the World Cup in the previous year. Therefore, the sophomores who came to the scene at night: Mitsuya, Kaji, and Tokugawa, although they have the strength to enter the first team, but They are still training on the field of the Second Army.

But this ghost question, to answer...

"I haven't heard any rumors." Tokugawa said lightly.

Jiazhi lay next to him, sneered and teased: "There are not many people who would gossip in front of you."

"What do you mean by that, someone said it in front of you?" Tokugawa raised his eyebrows slightly.

Kaji hesitated for a moment, but did not answer.

Mitsuya, who was sitting between the two of them, pushed his glasses and smoothed things out with a smile (?): "There aren't many people talking about it face to face, and it's enough to hear a few words when passing by occasionally. Tokugawa, you don't care about what you say The character of what others are talking about."

Tokugawa nodded noncommittally.

And Jiazhi complained in a low voice: "It's as if I gossip too much."

Mitsuya pulled Kaji's curly hair with a smile on his face, so Kaji shut up silently.

Mitsuya, who had eliminated a dispute in the invisible, raised his head to face the ghost again: "But senior, the three of us don't belong to the 'back court'."

Irie waved his hand: "Don't pursue this. Mitsuya, is there anything you don't know about the training camp?"

Mitsuya? A practitioner of data tennis? Akuto smiled.

"People panic because of false rumors, and scum is scum." Jiazhi said bluntly, "It doesn't matter if there are 28, 24, or 21, even if you cut half of them, there are only [-] places left. , as long as the strength is strong enough?"

"You're right." The ghost nodded, "But before the official notice comes out, we can do something within our capacity."

"Ghost, you just worry too much." Taneshima complained with a smile, "People with poor mental quality will be eliminated from the training camp sooner or later."

"At least don't cause too much commotion now that freshmen are still being recruited." Ghost said, "Otherwise our U17 training camp will be like a child playing house, it would be too bad."

This topic is discussed here as a phase ends.

People like Oni and Irie who voluntarily became the "gatekeepers of the Second Army" have a sense of responsibility and action in their bones, and other people respect them even if they don't fully agree with them.

In addition, there is a strange and subtle feeling: the captain of the national team is the Byodoin Phoenix who did not appear here. With the current training camp situation, there is no one who can shake his position.But there is no sense of disobedience for the ghost to say such words that are more suitable for the captain...

Logically speaking, can these two people say that they have a good relationship but there is no evidence to prove that the relationship is bad?

It's really a messy relationship.

However, the attitude of the Court of Justice has always been that "only the strong have the right to speak", "I am the strongest, you have to listen to me", other people disagree with this simple and rude attitude, but there is no effective way to correct it. They all silently accepted the refutation.Furthermore, there is also a tendency to be a little brainwashed, and I feel that there is nothing wrong with this.

There are many people in the First Army who believe in the same rules, right?

Tono is one.

As Ochi knows, Kaji, who was lying on Tokugawa's bed, showed his potential last year so that everyone thought he would join the First Army this year, is actually a practitioner of Byodoin's aesthetics of violence.

Of course, there are many victims.

For example, what made Tanejima worry about it: After playing the U17 National Oquiz last year, he abandoned him and went to live with Byodoin, leaving him in the dormitory alone.

Of course, living alone is also very good and free, but it is also a distressing thing to wake up in the middle of the night and want to tease people but can't find a partner.

And isn't Tokugawa who is leaning against the wall over there also one?

Oni and Irie also disagree with such an attitude.It's just that I haven't found anyone who can convince Byodoin... Ochi thinks, if Tokugawa can beat Byodoin this year to take the No.1 position, then maybe the U17 rules will have to be rewritten.

But even if the rules haven’t been rewritten, Byodoin as the boss basically adopts a simple and rude way of indifference to the affairs below, but Oni and Irie will maintain the order of U17 within their ability. This situation itself is quite interesting that's it.

And out of respect for these few people who are stronger than themselves...

It doesn't hurt to try to do something.

Ochi thought so.

Of course, even if everyone discussed "restrain that group of second armies who don't know what they are panicking about", there is a gap between the first army and the second army to be honest.The training itself is not together, plus the attitude of the training camp from top to bottom is the ability to speak...

How many of the Second Army appeared beside me?

able to speak...

Ochi thought about it, and asked Maori casually during the training the next day: "Did you hear anything in the training camp?"

"I heard?" Maori was at a loss, "Such as U17's strange talk? The training camp is haunted at night?"

"..." Ochi remained expressionless.

Mao Li smiled and shrugged, "Senior, I have only been here for U17 for a few days, and the No.16 stadium is still a freshman. The news, it can't get here."

Also.

"Coach Saito said on the first day that he would arrange individual substitutions and court substitutions, but I don't know when it will start. So far, all I have done in the training camp is basic training, which is boring? "Maori tilted his head and said.

Ochi turned his head and glanced at him, and said in a tone of consolation or cold water: "You have only been in the training camp for three days. For the transposition match, at least until all the freshmen are screened... ...Probably after the Kanto Tournament ended and after the school holidays."

"That is to say, do we have to wait another month?" Maori sighed, "It's really a ~long~ period of time~"

How long is a month?

Actually not very long.

But from Maori's point of view...it's been a long time.

Because... Li Haida was eliminated in the second round of the Kanto Competition as he expected.

It's really annoying.Maori thought.

Of course, it is very annoying not to win the game, but what Maori has never experienced is that even if he wins the game completely, he cannot save the entire team.

There is no essential difference between one to three, two to three or zero to three. If you lose, you lose. There is no second result.

But the person who chose to stay out of the team from the very beginning, and didn't say a word even if he didn't like the team, was obviously him, Kosaburo Mori himself.

Having made a choice, what reason is there to feel dissatisfied after the result is out?

Sure enough, I'm still not reconciled.

What is not reconciled is probably not just the "little thing" of not being able to win the national competition, but more because of the fact that one's own strength is smaller than imagined.

I will be angry at the expected result. Is it a matter of tolerance, or is it true that I have not done what I can do in theory, which makes it more difficult to accept such a result?

The power of the individual, and the power of the collective...

Molly was a little confused.

What is the way to solve the confusion?

It is of course impossible to go back to the middle of the country, and it would be too shameful to rely on the younger generation.

And Yukimura obviously hasn't been discharged from the hospital yet to return to the team.

Plus there's clearly a better option out there now.

Doubles partners need to get along more to cultivate a tacit understanding, don't they?

Besides, the senior who needs to cultivate a tacit understanding seems to happen to be... the minister?

Probably the identity that can help me with my current confusion.Molly thought so.

So he made such a decision: on weekdays when he didn't go to the U17 training camp, after class, he might as well go to Bingdi to find someone.

... Anyway, he was in Lihai University, so he was also escaping training.

The author has something to say:

When I wrote "In any case, if you want to play doubles, your partner must at least not be affected by your mental power moves." When I suddenly thought of Oishi, I really held back and didn't add one to Oishi. As for the small theater, I think Mr. Egg is pitiful enough in XF's writing, so I'd better leave some for him... ok.But there is no way, the moonlight that says "close your eyes, don't open them" (probably so) is too much!handsome!up!

However, the tricks of spiritual power in XF's pen are becoming more and more mysterious, and they are really starting to resemble other boy comics.If even your partner can be affected...

In fact, the relationship between Uncle Huang and ghosts should be good in private, right?

It's easier for me to write about junior high school students, but I have a sense of disobedience when I write about high school students.Sure enough, it’s a matter of time. After all, Xinwangwang came out quite late. When I was in high school, I couldn’t accept the setting of Xinwangshen’s development and didn’t watch it. Does it really make a difference in love?

Put Maori to harass Moonlight.

Let them get acquainted quickly, and I always feel that Qiaoxun ran from Kanagawa to Tokyo to find someone, which is something that Maori seniors would do... ORZ

And kokia's voice is really nice!

Have I dedicated a while to adding background music to every chapter?Well, let’s play it again today, it’s really a recent single that loops this song!Super nice! 2333 I'm going to start using my words again to make my presence felt.The long-lost chatter author has reappeared, do you miss it?

kokia ありがとう

The version of Yinyuetai, the mv should be matched, right?I prefer this version:
