After passing the final exam, Ice Emperor finally made it to the finals of the Kanto Contest.Just like a fateful opponent, last year's Bingdi met Qingxue in the first round, but this time it became the final.On the morning of the competition day, Siming watched Riji boxing for nearly an hour in the dojo.

"Let's go." After bathing and tidying up again, the hot-blooded boy just now turned into the cold-faced minister of the Ice Empress.

When the players from both sides shook hands, one of the opponent's blue teams, wearing a white baseball cap, stood out in a short stature.

"Echizen Ryoma!" A team member sitting beside Siming exclaimed.

"If it wasn't for this kid, we might have met that lunatic Chiya Kirihara." A sexy voice with a slight Kansai accent sounded in Siming's ears. s hair.

"Ninzu-senpai!" The shouts of the team members beside him revealed the identity of the person who came.

Siming got up from his seat, only to see that there seemed to be two people standing behind Shinozu, the one with red hair was Xiang Hiyake, and the one with a hat and impatient face was Akaneto Ryo.

"Senior Ninzu, Senior Kori, and Senior Anato." Siming greeted the three seniors respectfully like the team members beside him.The students on the side had already given up their seats consciously.The three sat down beside him carelessly.

"Senior means that Qing Gaku won the Rikkai University because of Echizen-san."

"Ah, Li Haida is only supporting the scene with Kirihara Chiya now." Xiang Ri's tone was still full of pride.In fact, this senior just looks proud, but he is really a nice person.Siming couldn't help but want to laugh when he thought of how he helped the senior with his homework.

The return of Echizen Ryoma made the Ice Emperor feel as if he was facing a formidable enemy. The two teams that seemed to be evenly matched suddenly became superior and inferior.

"The minister's face is so dark!" Utada and Gu Shan shrank their necks and moved closer to Siming.

"Riji, aren't you afraid?" Even though he really wanted to slap his palm on the face in front of him with his eyes hanging down and his chin raised, Riji still had a calm expression.

"You think too much, Senior Xiang Ri."

Although one person's strength does not have a great impact on the team competition, the impact of Echizen Ryoma on Aigaku is quite obvious.Now the two main players of Qinggaku's third grade, Momoshiro Takeshi and Kaidou Kaoru, were originally the main players of Qinggaku. The two pairs of doubles that have just formed this year are players who have just entered the main selection this year. Their usual performance is average, but because of Echizen Ryoma's joining, Exceeded.

Seeing Ogura and Kase being pressed and beaten on the field, Hiyoshi frowned more and more.The second double was lost 5:7, and the first double of Feng and Dojima also lost the game 5:7.

Hiji took off the coat that was draped over his shoulders, and took out a racket from his tennis bag.He let out a long breath, stepped onto the arena, and looked at Echizen Ryoma standing opposite the net. He was still the same as last year. He was small, with a long hat brim that made it hard to see the opponent's face clearly, but there was no last year. That overwhelming aura.Riji remembered that his father once said to himself that a real master can control his aura freely.Going to the gilded Echizen of the US Open, has it reached this level?

Siming looked at Riji on the field with some concern. In competitive competitions, the most fearful thing is to be timid without fighting. It is impossible for a samurai without fighting spirit to win the game.Ever since Echizen appeared on the field, Hiyoshi has behaved unusually.He knew that Hiyoshi wanted to win this competition too much, and wanted to prove to those seniors that he did not lose the reputation of the ice emperor, but he also lost his sense of normalcy because of this.

【Rikisang will lose. 】The young man from Chiba whispered in Siming's ear.

Siming looked at the young man in the field with both eyes, and his quiet eyes were shining with a strong fighting intent. Too much fire is too strong, and it will burn himself instead.

Hiji lost, even worse than last year's loss. 0:6, even failed to get a point in the hands of Echizen.All the team members in the auditorium stood up, including Supervisor Sakaki, and looked at the boy who had shrunk in an instant with a serious face. After shaking hands with Echizen silently, he walked towards everyone with a gloomy face. before.

"Sorry, I lost."

Riji didn't leave with the big team, but found a small forest in the park at random, and sat under the tree alone.

Siming hesitated for a moment, Kanako didn't go with him to the arena today.Because of the popularity of the clubhouse, Kanako took Okada and Morishita to make some snacks and sent them to the clubhouse.The three little girls and Imaichiko, who is in her 20s, are especially compatible.

Thinking that his sister already had a place to go, Siming said goodbye to the three of them, and followed the previous route to find her.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the young man's face through the dense forest, mottled and mottled. Siming sat down next to Riji with the two cans of drinks he just bought.

"Huh... I always feel that I shouldn't lose so badly." Throwing the empty can aside, Riji lay down on his back.

Siming leaned against the tree trunk and straightened his legs, "Hiyoshi, do you want Echizen-san to see your progress?"

"kindness."

"I think he saw it."

"Is it?"

"Yes."

Today Hiyoshi was actually a little irritable, and Siming always felt that his mood had actually been passed on to Echizen Ryoma. "The seniors didn't blame you for anything. In competitive competitions, there are always winners and losers. Before the game, you have a beautiful ideal, and you should treat it with a normal heart on the field. After the game, you must accept the result frankly. No one There is a way to ensure that you are an ever-victorious general.”

"Qianye, when you lose for the second time to someone you have lost before, how did you feel?"

"Huh?" Siming looked sideways at Riji and thought for a while, "I'm a little annoyed. Then maybe I'll be happy that I seem to have shortened the distance with him, or, alas, I finally found the gap between myself and him. .”

"is it?"

"Eh."

"However, it's still uncomfortable."

"Of course. Of course you won't be happy when you lose the game, but aren't you happy when you're in the game?" Siming raised his head and drank the Coke in the can, "Riji, don't you always hang up that sentence?" On the lips? Today, I don’t seem to have heard you say it.”

After speaking, Siming got up, picked up the soda cans on both sides and threw them into the wastebasket, "I'll be back first, and I have to pick up Kanako."

Carrying the bag, the boy's figure was gradually submerged in the woods, and he faintly heard Riji slightly's hoarse voice coming from behind. "One gram!"

On the second day of class, the main candidates of the tennis club found that the depression of losing the game seemed to have disappeared from their demon minister, replaced by...

"Utada, Taniyama, you give me 30 laps, the rest of the main selection 20 laps, non-selection 10 laps, after running, practice swinging..."

"The devil's level has risen!!" Several people screamed and ran to the playground.

In the building next to the playground, in a room on the west side of the second floor, a man in a wine-red suit stood by the window and looked at the teenagers running on the playground, with a curved mouth.This is why he and Atobe chose Hijiruo as their successor.

On Saturday, after Hiyoshi finished training in the tennis club, he received a call from Shinozu.The Tennis Club of the Senior Division will have joint training with the Elementary Division.This training camp is different from the training camp they went to the Atobe seniors' villa last year.They will organize regular selection and quasi-selection to enter the tennis club training venue with relatively sound equipment, and they will be guided by corresponding coaches in groups in order to improve their strength.

"Sounds pretty good." Siming was talking to Riji while writing his homework.In August, he has to devote himself to preparing for the vocational exam, but he doesn't have so much time to do summer homework.

In the tennis court, Hiji tried his best to hit back the balls hit by Hiyake one after another, until the yellow ball rolled twice in the opponent's court and then stopped, then put down the racket in his hand and ran to the court He took out a towel from the bench next to him and wiped the sweat from his forehead and neck.

"Huh...you boy, huh..." Panting heavily, Xiang Ri walked to the side of Hiji, and sat down on the bench, "It's getting stronger and stronger."

"Senior Xiang Ri's physical strength is still too weak." With a mouthful of white teeth, Xiang Ri felt resentful in his heart.However, my own physical strength is indeed a big problem.Obviously, a lot of targeted exercises have been done.

"Hiyoshi's ball looks much more direct and level now." Shinozu slowly got down from the referee's chair. It seemed that Hiyoshi's performance today was more natural and the ball was more direct than in the Kanto competition.Without those gorgeous and fancy tricks, it is more practical.

"En." Riji nodded. Recently, he often discussed with Siming. Although one is Go and the other is tennis, there must be some common sense in competitive sports. "Chiba has given me a lot of inspiration."

After a week of training, most of the team members chose to go home directly. Hiyoshi Tongfeng went to Atobe's house with several seniors.As usual, a group of big boys sat at the long table at Atobe's house waiting for dinner.

"Atobe, let's watch the Fireworks Festival together again this year!" Xiang Ri leaned back in his chair, and when he heard the report of the Fireworks Festival on TV, he suddenly regained his energy.

"Okay, okay, let's go together." Akutagawa Jirou, who was still dozing off, became refreshed instantly after hearing this.

Riji looked at the two seniors who were still strong in small animal attributes, and reluctantly turned his head away. These two seniors can mature in the year of the monkey, and the national competition is about to come. Where is the time?

"Xiang Ri's proposal is not bad." Shinozu held his chin with his left hand and pushed his glasses with his right hand. "It's okay to relax before the national competition."

"So it's settled like this?" Siming looked at Riji in astonishment.

"En." Hiyoshi nodded, "When the time comes, will you and Kanako-chan go too?"

"The Nebuta Festival." Siming rubbed his chin. Last year, he took a look at the firework festival in Tokyo, and it was no different from the one in China. At that time, he was lying on the hospital bed and heard from his cousin that there were many firework festivals held in summer nights in Japan. Every game has its own characteristics. When Ji mentioned it today, he was a little moved.

"Let's rush to Aomori County. I have a vocational exam in August." Siming shook his head for the upcoming vocational exam.

"It doesn't matter, the Nebuta Festival will be held for 5 days, we will come back after a day or two to see it. Let's relax before the exam."

Worried that Siming would refuse again, Hiji dragged Kanako along as a lobbyist. Looking at her sister's shining eyes, Siming would be speechless if she refused.Looking at the days circled on the calendar, Siming decided to go all out and relax before the exam.
