Please pick up the ball mellowly

The playground in Hesu Center is 400 meters long, and Rina Shimizu has to run 4000 meters at the end.

When Kurobe Yukio came out of the staff dormitory after dinner, he saw Rina Shimizu running slowly around the court in the dark. Rather than running, she seemed to be holding her breath for the entire distance.

Kurobe Yukio frowned immediately, and beckoned to a high school student who came out next to him, "Call me Tokugawa." Tsk, Yumiko put someone here to practice ball. It's not easy for him to explain to Yumiko what happened.

"coach."

"Tokugawa, what's going on?"

Kurobe Yukio pointed to Shimizu Rina who was still walking slowly on the playground, and Tokugawa Kazuya took a look and replied, "She has no physical strength at all and needs more training."

"Tokugawa, do you know that unreasonable training can lead to muscle strain or even soft tissue contusion?"

Tokugawa Kazuya was silent for a moment, "I know."

The light behind came out little by little, and Rina Shimizu, who was running in the dark, was dizzy and weak in limbs. In fact, even thinking about hunger is very difficult for her now.

There is only one thing in my mind, even if it is walking, I must complete these ten laps.

Rina Shimizu's behavior made Tokugawa Kazuya very satisfied, but Yukio Kurobe seemed not very satisfied.

"You, it's too serious. It's just a little flexibility. Everyone in the family has said that it's just to make her no longer afraid of playing tennis. There's no need to make it look like she's going to compete for the world championship tomorrow."

Tokugawa Kazuya thought about it, and said something to Yukio Kurobe that surprised him for a long time. Tokugawa Kazuya said, "Coach, Rina Shimizu will have the strength to compete for the world championship in the future."

A few years later, when Rina Shimizu was standing on the Grand Slam field, Yuki Kurobe, who was sitting in the coach's bench, would always think of Tokugawa Kazuya's words. It turned out that this boy was much more transparent than they saw. .

"Tokugawa, Shimizu won't be able to get up tomorrow after running like this."

On the way back to the dormitory from the restaurant, Iriezuo saw Tokugawa Kazuya staring at the court, "Young people are really energetic."

Irie Kanata smiled and patted Tokugawa Kazuya on the shoulder from standing beside him, "Tokugawa, is there a lot of pressure?"

Kanata Irie, who was looking down with a smile, and Kazuya Tokugawa, who was serious and cold, watched the movement in the stadium.

On the court, Rina Shimizu, who was jogging against the night wind, kept inhaling and exhaling, and the breath became shorter and shorter with the number of laps.

So hungry.

I really want to eat.

"Rina, there are still three laps, work hard." Shiraishi suddenly appeared next to Shimizu Rina, and patted her on the shoulder, "Scary, when did you come, Jie?"

"It's been a long time, it's just that you were too focused on running and didn't notice us."

"us?"

Rina glanced at Shiraishi strangely, and then Fuji Shusuke, who had been behind him all the time, said with a smile, "Rina, it's really sad, but Shiraishi was the first one to notice."

"Nah, Fuji, Shiraishi-kun is the first one of Rina's boyfriend to notice that it's normal, meow~ I'll go ahead first, please run slowly!" Eiji Kikumaru ran over like a gust of wind after speaking .

"Ah... Kikumaru is too cunning, look at my speed—" Kamio ran forward after Kikumaru Eiji.

Then the group of teenagers passed through Rina Shimizu and ran to the front one after another, "Well, come on, Rina, I'm going to the front too." Finally Shiraishi patted Rina Shimizu on the head, and said comfortingly, Run forward with them.

I won't stop and wait for you, but lead you forward, is that what you mean?A thought flashed through Rina Shimizu's mind, and was soon forgotten.

He took a deep breath, speeded up and ran forward and rushed out.

The night covered many things, but it also made them see more clearly many things that were blurred during the day.

The boys and girls who will work hard behind the scenes will one day reach the pinnacle of the world!

How beautiful it is to engrave your name on the Grand Slam trophy, hold the trophy, smile at all the audience, and sign for the camera.

And behind those flowers, they need to pay more and more.

Shimizu Rina's contribution is far from enough.

She always knew that with her current physical strength, she couldn't support the tie-break in the third set.

After arriving in high school, whether it is the women's tennis team or the men's tennis team, all games have been changed to a best-of-three set system, and what Rina Shimizu has to do is to prepare for each tie-break.

After three sets, I can still smile at my opponent's posture.

Well, it’s okay to be a little bit tired now, for a long time to come.

right?

After Rina Shimizu ran the last lap, the noise of the teenagers in his ears remained undiminished.

Several boys I have known for several years, and the boys I met because of playing tennis, used to be rivals when we met, but now we can treat each other as friends.

Because ah, their common hobbies and interests are tennis.

As soon as Shimizu Rina finished running, she dragged her body and sat down on the bench next to her, not wanting to move anymore.

"Rina, get up and I'll take you back to your room."

"Ah, are you not running away?"

Bai Shi shook his head, "The ten laps are over, and everyone else has gone back to their rooms."

Ten laps are over!

Now Rina Shimizu only has four words left in her heart: oh, I'm going.

She has been running for so long...

What a sense of accomplishment!

"I'm so hungry, I want to eat first, but I want to go back to my room to sleep, what should I do if I don't want to move?"

After a tiring day, Rina Shimizu waited until Kuranosuke Shiraishi stood in front of her, and she finally felt that she was a well-grown girl now.

She wasn't a girl at all when she was trained by Kazuya Tokugawa!He's just a ball player!

Shiraishi looked at Rina Shimizu who suddenly acted like a baby with some amusement.

"Get up, I'll bring you food and put it in your room."

"Uh-huh."

Sitting on the chair, Shimizu Ri Naye didn't stand up, and suddenly stretched out two hands, "Can you carry me on your back?"

"Come up."

Kuranosuke Shiraishi who squatted down and Rina Shimizu who climbed on each other's back were very familiar.

They were also like this a long time ago. When Rina Shimizu was very tired from playing, she would like to stretch out her hand and say, Ajie, can you carry me on your back.At that time, they were still very young, and the little Shiraishi Kuranosuke and Shimizu Rina still staggered a little when they were walking.

"Rina has lost weight recently."

"Huh? Is there any? I think so too."

The girl's tone suddenly became smug, "Isn't it good to lose weight? It saves me from having to lose weight again." Shimizu Rina has hardly had a rest since returning from Melbourne. It is said that mental workers are not easy to gain weight?

On the other hand, Edward has been letting Rina Shimizu insist on exercising.

The high-intensity load in the past few days has made Shimizu Rina's body bear a load beyond expectations.

Shiraishi shook his head helplessly when he heard Rina Shimizu's pretendingly relaxed words, and walked into the dormitory step by step with Rina Shimizu on his back.Rina Shimizu, who was lying on Shiraishi's back, rested her chin on his shoulder.

"It's not good to be thin, your body is full of bones."

"Ah, I lost weight, didn't you become lighter behind my back?"

Isn't that good too?

Shimizu Rina put his arms around the opponent's neck to prevent himself from falling, "Is the training too hard? Take a good rest when you can, you know?"

The girl lying on Baishi's back hummed softly, "A Jie, I knew you were the best."

Only at this moment is the most peaceful, right?Everyone would drink tea and chat in the lounge on the ground floor at this time, and the dormitory building was so quiet that almost no one was there.

Shiraishi Kuranosuke walked up step by step with Shimizu Rina on his back, and put her down at the door of the dormitory.

"I know, I'm still very lazy."

Rina smiled because she was afraid that Shiraishi would be worried, "Actually, Senior Tokugawa is also quite a nice person, but he is more strict with everyone."

There was a plate of sushi in Shimizu Rina's room, and after washing his hands in the bathroom, he sat by the bed and recalled the day's events to Shiraishi. "During the competition, I really feel powerless."

Rina Shimizu, who was full of confidence during the day, seemed to be floating in the air again, "Senior Tokugawa said that I couldn't beat him, and it was true, and his playing style is too fierce, which is beyond my tolerance."

Shimizu Rina shrugged and ate another piece of sushi.

"Will Rina feel disappointed in herself?"

Shiraishi glanced at Rina with some anxiety, and the worry in his words made Shimizu Rina burst out laughing.

"There's no need to be disappointed, Jie, don't worry, since I'm still standing here, it means I'm fine, right?"

Rina's hand holding the sushi paused for a moment, then smiled and stuffed Shiraishi with a sushi backhand.

"Since I have come out, it is so easy to walk back."

In fact, Rina Shimizu also enjoys the process of the game on the field, right?

You don't have to think about other things at all, and you can concentrate all your attention on meaningfully consuming your life. It really makes people feel beautiful and messy.

"Ah, I was worrying too much."

"That's right, you idiot Ajie."

"Rina seems to like calling me an idiot lately, huh?"

The boy raised his eyebrows, and glanced sideways at the girl who was eating sushi next to him.

"Huh? Is there any?"

She pretended not to know, "Ahem——" The sushi in her mouth accompanied by the spicy wasabi made the eyes of the girl who denied it redden, "I choked to death."

"Rina is the real idiot."

"Huh? Kuranosuke Shiraishi, do you think I don't have the energy to beat you up now?"

Angrily glaring at Baishi next to him, he took the water handed over by the other party and gulped it down. "It's okay, if Rina wants to beat me up, I'll lie down and beat you up."

The topic of who is the idiot finally ended with the girl's blush.

Rina Shimizu's training is still going on, repeating countless practice activities every day, and occasionally playing a game with the people in the dormitory center. Shimizu Rina only occasionally scores a few points, and often loses by a big score.

However, as more and more game points appeared in each game, Rina Shimizu's technique slowly began to improve.

Alternating offense and defense, which I was not good at before, has also begun to master and become proficient.

The author has something to say: Rina makes a small improvement every day, and his mentality changes a little every game. 0.0
