Kurosaki

Even though some unexpected things happened, Kurosaki Ichigo did not forget his reason for coming.

"What? You want to leave the gym?" Before his friend could speak, Grandpa Sanada let out an exclamation.

He looked at his friend, Coach Takizawa, and then at Ichigo, "It's really a waste of money!"

"Hey, why don't you come to my gym, my gym is much stronger than this old guy's! How about it, think about it? I will definitely teach you to be a strong man!"

Sanada watched his grandfather's eyes shine, and he pounced on him like a hungry wolf. A drop of sweat dripped from his forehead, and he took a step back without any trace, as if he wanted to use this to weaken his sense of existence.

Cough, although it's impolite to comment on my grandfather like this, but...it's really embarrassing!

On the contrary, Coach Takizawa looked at Kurosaki calmly, as if he had a premonition, "Have you already decided?"

Kurosaki Ichigo raised his small face and looked at the coach seriously, "Yes."

An encouraging smile gradually bloomed on Coach Takizawa's face, which was full of understanding and tolerance.

"Then, do what you want, Kurosaki. I can no longer teach you anything, but I still want to say that I am proud to have a disciple like you!"

"Thank you!"

Ichigo bowed to Coach Takizawa.

Thinking back to the past, coach Takizawa took care of him, Kurosaki's eyes softened.

He must have seen all the changes in himself, but he didn't ask anything, just stood behind him silently, cheering for himself.

From this moment on, Kurosaki Ichigo agreed with this teacher from the bottom of his heart.

Maybe Coach Takizawa is not a strong teacher, at least not to himself, however, he deserves all my respect.

The relationship between teachers and students is sometimes as simple as that, but once you have it, it is very precious.

"that--"

Just when Ichigo was about to leave, a boy wearing a hat in the corner suddenly spoke, drawing Ichigo's attention.

"Ah! It's you, that old-fashioned brat who likes to lecture others with a straight face, who is as old as me next year!"

It is not a gentleman not to take revenge if you have a grudge. Although the other party has good intentions, Ichigo, who was taught a lesson for no reason, still holds grudges very much.

"Pu—hahahaha! It's you, Brother Sanada!" A figure suspected to be Brother Sanada (?) put his hand on Sanada's shoulder, his hands trembling because of laughing, "However, the description is still It's so apt!"

"Senior!" Sanada knocked off the hand of the senior who liked to make fun of himself, and looked at Ichigo again, his eyes were full of fighting spirit, "Compete with me!"

"Yes, but not now!"

For opponents who take the game seriously, no matter whether they are strong or weak, Ichigo is willing to respect them.

"Next time, when we meet next time, I will fight you hard!"

"A word is settled!"

***

"edo - turn left from here, go straight ahead, then turn right again..."

Ichigo looked at the map he got from Passerby A, and the black lines on his forehead tended to become more and more.

It is worth mentioning that the painter of the map in his hand is comparable to Kuchiki Rukia's painter. It is not easy for Kurosaki Ichigo to understand a little.

All in all, the conclusion now is that our protagonist is lost.

An unusual air current blew across the front, causing Kurosaki Ichigo to suddenly raise his vigilance.

You know, Karakura Town is a place of heavy spirits, and it is common for voids to appear.With Ichigo's current strength, it's okay to deal with ordinary Hollow, but if there are too many, Yu can also consume himself to death!After all, although I have awakened my spiritual power now, it is still far from reaching the level when the protagonist reached the age of 15!And if it is a Xu with special abilities... Thinking of the Xu that Shiba Haiyan met, Ichigo couldn't guarantee whether he would be able to escape unscathed.

I'm still too weak!It would be great if I could wake Zhan Yue up.

Also, the Devil's Eye of Immediate Death needs to be practiced more, maybe it can become the last hidden trump card.

Ichigo just thought about Zhan Yue's matter, in fact, he knew the importance of being strong better than anyone else.

Possessing the Zanpakuto prematurely will only cause him to become dependent.

Zanpakuto, as the half body of Shinigami, can be a partner fighting side by side with Shinigami, but it must not be a tool that Shinigami relies on.

Otherwise, once Death's own strength cannot keep up, it will definitely be a disaster in battle.After all, no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents, such as the Zanpakuto loss, such as the Zanpakuto rebellion...

boom!

A sound similar to an explosion rang in my ears.

I didn't feel the spiritual pressure, maybe the one I encountered this time really has a special ability, which can hide my spiritual pressure from being discovered by others!

Ichigo raised his hand to block the wind blowing against his cheek, and made a decisive decision.If the one in front is really Xu, if that Xu hasn't noticed him yet, then he should run away as far as he can.

As for these human beings who are here now—that's the mission of the god of death, isn't it?

After all, those people are just strangers to him, if he has the ability to save them, he will naturally save them, and if he is not capable, he will never rush to die.

You said cut off to save experience?He was crazy to find such a place where people come and go, he doesn't have a memory switcher, if he is caught, he will be sent directly to the police station!

Just when Ichigo decided to dodge, the following words suddenly came to his ears——

"What's going on up there on the tennis court?"

Ahead, is that a street tennis court?Ichigo followed the person's line of sight and looked over.

"I heard that Oni Jujiro came to challenge that Tokugawa Kazuya again."

"Really? I saw a group of middle school students passing by just now. It seems that those two brats are in trouble!"

"Who says no, let's go, there is another good show to watch."

tennis?

Ichigo looked forward in disbelief, his eyes widened in astonishment.

Could it be that the air current just now had a dangerous aura...was all caused by tennis balls? ! ! !

is that a lie?It's a lie!When will tennis be comparable to biological and chemical weapons!

Ichigo felt that either the world was in chaos or he himself was in chaos.

***

"Hey, kid, quickly give me your court. The true meaning of tennis is beyond your comprehension!" said a middle school student A who looked wretched and looked like cannon fodder.

"Yeah, big brother Sasabe (it seems that the villain in Net King is played by this person every time) is right, the tennis court should be used by our junior high school students! Primary school students should hurry back to their mothers to drink milk Bar!"

"Hahahaha..." Several friends around burst into laughter.

Standing opposite them were three boys aged seven or eight.

"Cut, a group of big-headed and brainless idiots! It makes people angry!" One of the red-haired boys had a fierce look on his face, and mercilessly mocked a group of junior high school students in front of him.

"Ah, it's Oni Jujiro!" Passerby A standing next to Ichigo explained to his companion in a low voice, "Although he once lost to Tokugawa, the champion of the elementary school group, he is also very strong."

"Cut! Is that the attitude you should have towards your seniors? Huh?!!!" Sasabe picked up Oni Jujiro's collar, causing the surrounding people to exclaim.

"Stop it, senior." The boy with beautiful blond hair standing behind Oni Jujirou put away his usual smile, looked straight at Sasab with rather cold eyes, and deliberately emphasized "" The tone of the word "senior".

"Bullying juniors, I'm afraid it's not what seniors should do, right?"

"Who is that? For some reason, a child who looked very gentle, but was stared at by his eyes, and I felt chills all over."

"Ah~ You said him, he is Irie Kanata, he often comes here to play tennis with Oni Jujiro and the others, but he just watches from the side more often, I haven't seen him make a few shots."

"Eh? It sounds so mysterious, then, the one next to him must be Kazuya Tokugawa, right?"

An orange flew out suddenly and hit Sasabe's hand. Sasabe put down Oni Jujiro in pain, and turned to stare at the boy who hadn't spoken, "You boy..."

The young man with dark green short hair seemed to have heard the conversation between the two, and ignored Sasabbe, instead he turned around and corrected him: "Oh, the answer is wrong. I am Echizen, Echizen Ryuya, let's say that Tokugawa's Challenger, hey! I didn't expect to encounter such an interesting thing when I came here. Interesting, really interesting!"

Echizen... This surname is so familiar.

Ichigo put his good memory to good use.

Tennis, Echizen, Echizen, tennis...

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in my mind.

ah!I remembered!Isn't this "The Prince of Tennis"?

Because he didn't like hot blood manga very much in his previous life, and he didn't read it carefully.But thanks to his cousin, he was able to recognize some of the characters in The Prince of Tennis.For example, the protagonist cat prince, Echizen Ryoma, and his alumni.For another example, the flamboyant Keigo Atobe, and then...he really can't remember, he hasn't seen the later plot, as for the one that appeared before but he didn't know...it's probably either too weak or too strong. Out of character (Hey, Kurosaki-san, are you so hurtful?) Ichigo nodded seriously, as if wanting to affirm his thoughts.

"So, you agree?"

Suddenly, the boy named Irie Kanata asked Ichigo.

"What promise? What did I promise?" Ichigo looked at the blond boy with a puzzled face. Isn't this guy's words too inexplicable?

"Just now, Echizen asked you 'do you want to form a team with us', and then you nodded? Why, do you want to go back on your word?"

"Cut! If you don't dare to come, don't just agree, what a hero!" Oni Jujiro groaned unhappily at Ichigo.

"I'm really sorry that my actions have misunderstood you!" Ichigo squeezed his fist, and said even more unhappily: "But you don't even know if the other party can play tennis and invite you randomly, you really have 'sight'!"

"Hey, don't you know how to play tennis? I clearly saw calluses on your hands from practicing tennis..."

By the way, Echizen Ryuya-san, how good is your eyesight to see the little calluses on my hands from such a distance!

Ichigo has some dark lines, but he still decides to defend himself.

Yes, yes, no, no. Although his own motor nerves are indeed far superior to ordinary people, it is ridiculous to want him to come out to compete without even knowing the grip and basic rules.

"Those cocoons are left from sword practice," Ichigo paused, and said, "I learned the way of swordsmanship." Cough, although it is in the past tense.

"Really? But even so, I still want to invite you." Irie Kanata said seriously, "There are five people on the other side. If we want to compete, of course we will have five people here. But count me, ghost , Echizen, and Tokugawa are only four people. Besides, you are the only one who meets the age requirements. We want to prove that there is no age difference in playing tennis, and elementary school students can beat middle school students! You and me in a while Form doubles, no need to catch the ball, all the balls will be handed over to me!"

Irie plays tennis more and has always paid attention to enjoyment rather than winning or losing. This is the first time he wants to completely defeat his opponent.

Not a request, but a request.

Facing those eyes full of determination, Ichigo found that he had an irresistible feeling.

However, speaking of this, it would be hypocritical for him to refuse, wouldn't it?

Anyway, it's just playing tennis, besides, he also wants to observe this so-called "the strongest killer tennis in history" up close, so why not do it?

Ichigo stretched out his hand, "Kurosaki Ichigo, a first-year student at Karakura Town Elementary School."

Irie Kanata also held out his hand to hold him: "Irie Kanata is a third-year student at Karakuzacho Elementary School, so we are alumni."
