Amethyst Fascination

Standing quietly at the bottom line, facing Sanada's expression of surprise with a little anger, Tezuka's cold expression has not changed.But in his mind, he recalled a certain evening.

That day, after a day of high-dose training, only he and Echizen were left in the department activity room.Deliberately ignoring the fair skin exposed after taking off the team uniform, Tezuka turned his back to the boy, his face was slightly hot.

While he was in a trance, he suddenly heard the child say to him in an immature and slightly hoarse voice: "Minister, since the Tezuka domain can attract the ball, why not use the Tezuka domain to let all the balls go out of bounds?"

Turning back, looking at the bright golden eyes under the setting sun, Tezuka shook his head: "That's impossible."

"why?"

After thinking carefully for a moment, Tezuka slowly explained the principle and the reason for the impossibility to the boy.At the end, looking at those eyes that seem to understand but half understand, he said softly: "These are still a little difficult for you now."

"Actually, there is a possibility, Minister."

In fact, I have already completed the possibility you mentioned, Echizen.Why don't you come back and watch it?

Standing in front of the net, Sanada gritted his teeth, stared at Tezuka's calm eyes, and the hand holding the racket trembled violently.He didn't believe it, he didn't believe that Lei, who landed precisely, would fall outside the court for no reason.He has to make sure again.

Driving Lei Ting time and time again, but time and time again falling outside, Sanada seemed to understand why, and was so angry that his lips were bloodstained by his teeth.

4-3, Tezuka chased three innings in a row, and Sanada didn't score a point in the three innings.

In the stands beside the stadium, Qingxue's spectators applauded again, "I didn't expect Tezuka Teru to force the ball out of the field."

"No, that's not the Tezuka domain, that's the elusive Phantom of Tezuka." Nudged his glasses, lowered his head and quickly recorded something in his notebook, with undisguised worry on his dry face.

"But in this way, the burden on the arm will only increase." Sighing deeply, Bu Er stared at the proudly standing figure on the court, unable to speak anymore.

I get it, Tezuka, I get it.You are buying time for Echizen.It's good to be able to win, but even if you can't win, you still have to draw Sanada into a protracted battle, isn't that what you plan to do?

But you don't want your hands yet?

The eighth game was Tezuka's serve.Facing Sanada, who was waiting for him, he lobbed the ball high and hit it.The yellow ball never bounced up after landing, and rolled down to the side of the net.

Zero serve.

All this fell into the eyes of coach Ryuzaki, except for tightly pinching her legs and closing her eyes, she did nothing and could not do anything.She couldn't stop Tezuka, because she knew that this was Tezuka's own choice, and no one could stop him.

It's just that she is really sad, very sad to let her watch this outstanding student who could have become a professional player embark on an irreversible path.

For the entire game, Tezuka used a zero serve to keep Sanada scoreless and make it 4-4.

His left arm was already swollen due to bruises, and even a slight movement was a heart-piercing pain.As for his opponent, his knees were so red and swollen that it was extremely difficult for him to even stand up due to excessive use of Thunderbolt.

But these two people still use fierce confrontation as a head-on confrontation, and they refuse to retreat in the slightest.

The score was rewritten again, and Tezuka went ahead 5-4.

Seeing Tezuka who staggered off the stage, Oishi walked quickly to Tezuka while ordering people to prepare cold compresses. "They have news. Momoshiro is on his way back with Echizen. So don't be careless, Tezuka."

The pale lips raised a little, Tezuka nodded, "I know, we are here to win."

On the other side, Sanada, who was slumped on the coach's bench, suddenly stood up, stared at Yukimura standing in front of him in disbelief, and said hoarsely, "What are you talking about? You want me to give up the confrontation?"

There was an unshakable determination in the purple eyes, Yukimura met Sanada's angry and complicated eyes calmly, and said lightly: "Tezuka can't hit the zero serve anymore, the next round will decide the outcome. All this is For Li Hai's three consecutive hegemony."

Gritting his teeth tightly, Sanada stared at Yukimura's calm, handsome face with a little coldness, unable to speak for a long time.

Do you understand, Yukimura!Everything Tezuka did was not just to beat me, but to buy time for that kid.

Of course I understand, Sanada.But for Li Haida's three consecutive championships, nothing matters.

There was a hint of sharpness in the gentle purple eyes, under Sanada's cold eyes, Yukimura said word by word: "Go, Li Haida's three-in-a-row has no dead ends."

Slightly turned sideways, the blue-purple hair gently covered the white cheeks like jade, blocking all sight.The amethyst-like eyes stared at the first-year boy pretending to be a boy in the youth school team for a long time, and the corners of Yukimura's lips twitched uncontrollably.

Little guy, even if I worry about you again, I am the minister of Lihai University, and I can't have dead ends.

The game continued, but Sanada finally chose the responsibility of being Li Hai's deputy minister and gave up the head-on confrontation with Tezuka.His eyes were fixed on the opponent who would show pain every time he hit a ball, and he frowned when he heard the applause of "Emperor, Emperor" coming from his ears.

What kind of emperor, what kind of emperor is he if he gave up the head-to-head confrontation!

Echizen, it's really a pity that you didn't see this game.This person who chose you as the pillar of Qingxue, now he chooses to sacrifice himself for your team.

The game has reached the end point, as long as this point is scored, Sanada will win 7-5.

His pupils contracted suddenly, facing Tezuka's fierce and unabated ball, Sanada suddenly took a big step, appeared on the side of the ball, clasped the racket tightly with both hands, and slammed it down hard.

Move like thunder.

Echizen, although I really want to buy some more time for you, your minister has reached his limit.I can't back down, because backing down is an insult to me, him, and everyone present today.

The imposing Thunder was not forced out of bounds like before, but flew straight towards Tezuka.He waved his hand to catch the thunderous incoming ball, his left arm suddenly felt severe pain, and Tezuka's face covered in cold sweat turned pale.

The racket was out of his hands, but the ball still flew slowly towards Sanada's half court and landed surprisingly on the net.Shaking gently, as if choosing where the balance of victory leans, it made the audience hold their breath for a while.

Half-kneeling on the court, Sanada couldn't stand up again due to the severe pain in his knees, so he could only hold the yellow ball firmly and screamed: "Go to the opposite side!"

On the other side of the net, Tezuka, who had already picked up the racket and clutched his arm tightly, stared at the crumbling bright yellow with the same gaze.

Finally, the yellow ball rolled down slowly and gently fell back to Tezuka's half court, causing him to collapse to the ground, lying on his back on the court panting violently, frowning.

Deafening cheers erupted from Lihai's large phalanx. Looking back at Yukimura who was still indifferent, Sanada got up with difficulty, staggered to Tezuka's side, and stretched out his hand to him: "I don't want to fight with you anymore, Tezuka."

With such a passionate attitude of yours, one look is enough.

His eyes slowly turned to Qingxue's stand, looking at the little boy who had just arrived, his slightly frowning brows relaxed a little.Holding Tezuka's hand tightly, Sanada whispered, "Your sacrifices were not in vain, Tezuka."
