Net King Returns to the First Generation

On the night of the Tezuka welcome party, Atobe found Sanada in the gym, who was doing strength training.

Sanada, who stopped his movements, kept looking at Atobe while lying on the bench press.

With his back to the incandescent lamp, Atobe put his hands in his pockets and slightly hooked the corners of his lips: "Hey, Sanada, I think this training camp is a bit of a waste of time."

It's a waste of time because you are assigned to the Huacun group.Sanada was thinking, and he said in a deep voice: "I'm practicing now, I don't have time to pay attention to those complaints, please be quiet."

Atobe was not angry, he turned around: "Hey, listen up. Today, the situation has changed."

"...Tezuka?" Sanada asked with a slight frown.

"Ah, for me, he is the only real opponent." Atobe said.

Sanada finally sat up at this moment: "He may also think so."

"Hmph, that sounds really nice." Atobe snorted coldly, "Your thoughts are actually the same as mine."

My thoughts... same as yours?

Indeed, I am very attached to Tezuka, that's right, the match three years ago, a chance to avenge... Tezuka!

Atobe ignored Sanada's stern expression, and continued: "I want to make a deal with you, huh?"

"Let's have a game."

This is a rare occasion for Atobe not to use the self-proclaimed "My Lord" to speak, and it is extraordinarily sincere on this occasion of two people.But even if you use "I", it also has a majestic temperament and an aggressive aura that makes people feel uncomfortable...

"Okay." Sanada nodded.

After Atobe left, Sanada continued his strength training.

But what happened that night disturbed his heart a lot.

Stopping his movements, he frowned and exhaled.

"Pfft, what did I see?" He raised his tone frivolously, "Sanada, it's been a long time since you showed a look of nervousness and excitement."

"Nio." Sanada rolled his eyes and sat up.

After finishing the extra night training with Kirihara, Nioh, who was doing routine strength training, straddled the chair, resting his cheek on one hand and showing an interested expression to Sanada: "What wonderful thing happened here just now?" something?"

"Don't always be extra sharp about this kind of thing." Sanada scoffed.

King Ren laughed softly: "Since you say that, it means that something really happened. It seems that there will be another good show tomorrow?"

Too lazy to answer this kind of question, Sanada believed that if he continued to practice, there would be no good effect. It would be better to go back to the room and take a bath, then hold the bamboo sword and meditate to calm the mind.He stood up, took two steps and then stopped, turned his head to look at King Ni: "Did I show Tezuka's emotions clearly?"

"...Why do you ask me such a thing?" King Ren blinked.

Sanada was silent.

Nioh had no choice but to shrug his shoulders: "Your emotion towards Tezuka... Pooh, even that kid Akaya wants to challenge Tezuka, isn't it obvious enough?"

"Is that so?" Sanada was thoughtful, "Then Yukimura has already noticed?"

"...Of course Yukimura noticed it long ago." King Ni said helplessly.

"If that's the case, then..." So if he skipped training and went to Atobe's competition tomorrow, would it be understandable for Yukimura?Sanada thought so.He nodded to Niwang: "I'll go back first, and you should go to bed earlier."

Seeing that Sanada suddenly put on a serious expression as if he had figured something out, Nioh was inevitably puzzled: What's wrong with him?

Forget it, anyway, tomorrow, we will know.

With this in mind, Nioh also started his daily strength training routine.

——If Nioh knew about Sanada's mental journey, he would have prepared to mourn for Sanada in advance, but unfortunately he didn't know.Therefore, at this time, he was only imagining how Yukimura would "teach" Sanada, who was upright and performing at the Tezuka welcome party, and he didn't know how the situation would expand after a day.

In the early morning of the next day, the coaches gathered in the office and started the morning meeting.

Coach Huacun took the coffee that he had made in advance with the coffee machine and poured it into a cup: "Here, Mr. Sakaki."

"Thank you." Coach Sakaki accepted it with a cold face.

"Where are Yukimura-kun and Tezuka-kun?" Coach Huamura turned his head.

"I don't need it." Tezuka shook his head.

"Well, I'll just do it myself." Yukimura stood up and took a cup from the side, first dug out two portions of sugar and added one portion of milk, and finally poured coffee into the cup.

Coach Sakaki took a sip of his coffee and picked up the roster in front of him: "The training camp has come to an end, and it's almost time to select representatives for the youth team."

"Yes." Coach Huacun replied.

"Then, it's time for each group to come up with a list." Coach Sakaki said.

"Yes, let's think about a few candidates first." Coach Huacun pushed his glasses.

Half of the two-week training camp has passed, and the drafting of the roster can indeed begin.

A few hours later, in the field of the Huacun team, where the formal training started, coach Huacun said to the team members who were preparing for the activities: "Today's training content is to practice the game, and you must do a good job in warming up. "

Atobe stood up from the leg press, stepped aside and picked up a tennis racket.

"Wait a minute, Atobe, where are you going?" Coach Huacun asked with a frown.

"Toilet, toilet." Atobe replied with his back turned, and he stepped on the steps and left after speaking.

Coach Huacun looked at his back: Going to the bathroom...do I still need to bring a racket?

Of course Atobe, who was holding a racket, didn't go to the bathroom.He walked across the field and came to Yukimura's position.

The people in the venue were also doing preparatory activities in groups. Yukimura was not there, and it seemed that he was going to get the equipment to be used today: the practice of Yukimura's group is always accompanied by various restrictions and requires the use of various props. On the other hand, Yukimura tends to go to the equipment room to choose every day, and decide the training content of the day according to the inspiration of the day.

He stood in front of Sanada who was squatting and pressing his legs: "Hey, Sanada, you haven't forgotten the conversation last night, have you?"

"Of course." Sanada stopped his movements and stood up, picked up the racket beside him, "Let's go."

Seeing Sanada and Atobe leaving the field together, Marui and Kuwahara, who were pressing each other's shoulders, looked at each other: Sanada, this is...

Of course, Sanada and Atobe, who were walking on the way to find the venue, couldn't feel the surprise and suspicion of the people in the same group.

And the tense and explosive emotions between the two of them became more and more obvious.

"I was the one who injured Tezuka's shoulder," Atobe said.

"I know, I saw it too." Sanada replied.

"At that time, I wanted to defeat him no matter what. I just focused on this matter. But that guy did such a dangerous thing in the middle of the game, regardless of his own shoulders, and persisted until the end of the game..." In a low voice Atobe narrated in a voice with a rare calm tone: "I can't stop Tezuka's obsession with seigaku."

"In the end, I won the game. But it also shows that I can't surpass him. So, I'm waiting for him to return to the tennis court with a full state, and then beat him with my hands!" His eyes burst out With a strong fighting spirit, "I won't let anyone but me take the lead!"

"Then, this time, I will surpass him!"

"I'm sorry, I don't know about your memories of Tezuka. Only stronger people can reach the top, that's all." The two people who happened to walk into the door of the most remote tennis court stopped and stood facing each other. For these memories Atobe said, Sanada chose to use this sentence to respond.For him, the so-called memory is the motivation to keep fighting!

The frustration given to him by the people who defeated him once kept him moving forward!

and so……

I, Genichiro Sanada, will never lose to anyone again!

Don't let up in every game!

I want to stand on top!

This road... Let's start with you, Atobe!

Atobe snorted, turned around and walked towards the bottom line of the field: "If it wasn't like this, it would be meaningless. You serve first, come on."

"Hmph." With the same hum, Sanada raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and walked to the bottom line on the other side.

All of this was seen by Tan Taiyi who happened to pass by here.

Just when Sanada was about to throw the ball, a voice sounded: "Stop!"

Sanada and Atobe turned their heads at the same time, and saw coach Huacun standing at the gate of the venue at some point: "I don't allow you to play this game! Atobe-san, go back to practice!"

"Tch." Atobe curled his lips in disdain.

"Sanada-kun and you too, you should follow the practice arranged by Yukimura-kun!" Coach Huamura continued.

"I don't care." A gentle voice sounded.

Coach Huamura turned around in surprise, and saw Yukimura and Coach Sakaki walking over together: "The match between Sanada and Atobe should be worth watching. Isn't it, Coach Sakaki?"

"Indeed, there's nothing wrong with it." Coach Sakaki said.

"Teacher Sakaki..." Coach Huacun frowned.

"Let them do it." Coach Sakaki said.

"However, they are not in the same group." Coach Huacun retorted.

"If you stick to the same group, the selection will be meaningless, right? This training camp needs to select the best players. The reason why the teachers disrupt the school's allocation of groups is also to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm. Potential? Then, this game is no different." Yukimura said, "With Atobe's strength, it would be useless for him to only exercise in the gym."

"Yukimura-kun, you..." Coach Huacun's eyebrows twitched, "Are you doubting my scientific training method?"

"Why don't you look back at Atobe's expression, Mr. Huamura?" Yukimura still maintained a gentle smile, "I think Mr. Sakaki will agree with me."

"..." Coach Huacun bit his lower lip.

Ignoring the conflict in front of him, Coach Sakaki, who really agreed with Yukimura, said in a deep voice: "This is a good opportunity to observe their strength. Since the final of the Kanto Tournament last year, Atobe and Sanada haven't faced each other again, right? Through this It is possible to deduce their progress and current strength in a year from the competition."

Looking at Coach Sakaki and Yukimura standing in the united front, Coach Huacun felt helpless while being angry: grades and strength determine the right to speak, at least in this training camp, she is facing children from schools other than Shonan Josei She doesn't have much confidence, even if she is the coach - Li Haida and Bingdi, as national powerhouses, needless to say, have a sense of arrogance in themselves; Chengcheng Shonan; Liujiao and Yamabuki are well-known old schools, and the children's coaches are well-known legends in the industry; Fudo Peak and San Rudolph are both dark horses this year, but they are also teams led by students. For the coaches The demand is not so high...

Sighing, Coach Huamura gave up on himself and said, "Well, I see, now let's follow the instructions of Mr. Sakaki, who replaced Coach Ryuzaki as the head coach." As for Yukimura... Although he is still a young man, he is somehow not to be provoked. a feeling of?

Hey, the same team from Kanagawa, Shiroshinari Shonan, who can't bring any threat to Rikkai University in the annual prefectural competition, really...it's hard to be looked at by Rikkai University, right?

These children who can grow well without a coach, in addition to Li Haida, there are also Saint Rudolph and Fudo Peak...

"Is that mocking me?" Coach Sakaki raised his eyebrows slightly.

"No, not at all." Coach Huacun put on a smiling face again, showing her usual gentle and intellectual expression, but she was still angry after all.

So, when Kamijou came to say that the warm-up was over, she turned and left the venue.

As for the other groups——

Yukimura and Mr. Sakaki naturally brought their own team members. After all, watching the game is also a kind of training, let alone a game of the level of Sanada and Atobe.As for the Ryuzaki group... Tezuka still doesn't know that Sanada and Atobe are fighting because of him.

The game finally started.

Yukimura, who was standing outside the court with his arms folded, could still be seen at a glance even if he was surrounded by a tall coach Sakaki.There was a slight coldness in the corner of his mouth: Hey, Xianichiro, since you want to play this match, I will let you play it!But... I only accept one result, and that is to win!

Seeing that Sanada and Atobe were really fighting, and the two sides started the match full of gunpowder, Tan Taichi, who had been watching from the corner, finally came to his senses: "...It seems that something terrible happened... ...going to tell everyone!"

He turned around and ran towards the Ryuzaki group.

On the field of the Ryugasaki team, the team members who just finished a round of running training are preparing to start the next event.

Tan Taichi ran over at this moment: "No, big news! On the back court, Sanada-san and Atobe-san are playing!"

"Competition?" Tezuka turned around with a bad feeling.

The rest of the Ryuzaki team also gathered around: "What? A competition?"

"Sanada and Atobe?"

"However, the two of them should not be in the same group."

"That was decided temporarily by Mr. Sakaki." Together with Tanta, he danced and explained, "I don't know what happened, but Mr. Huacun seemed to have a little conflict with Mr. Yukimura, and finally Mrs. Sakaki That dictates how the game plays out. And then it goes like that."

"But why those two people..." Zuobo was very puzzled.

"I heard them say..."

"I won't let anyone but me defeat Tezuka!" - Atobe

"I'm sorry, I don't know about your memories of Tezuka, stronger people can climb to the top! That's all!" - Sanada "..." Liu who heard these words couldn't help complaining in his heart: Sanada, Can you bear your obsession with Otsuka?Also, what happened to that guy with Atobe because of Tezuka!Is Yukimura still pampering you?

And Echizen blinked: Damn, did that black-faced guy actually fight King Monkey Mountain first?Obviously... I was the one who made the appointment first!That guy also said that he can play anytime!

...Could it be that you forgot?

He pressed down on the brim of his hat, showing a rare expression of enthusiasm: "Minister, shall we go to the game?"

"Huh?" Tezuka tilted his head.

"The match between those two guys must be very interesting!"

Tezuka looked at Echizen, quite relieved: It seems that Echizen has always been full of fighting spirit.

He looked at the other people in the group: all... want to watch the match between Sanada and Atobe so much?

Indeed, the words of those two people...

Sighing, Tezuka said, "Then don't be careless!"

When the Ryuzaki team had just heard the news, the match between Sanada and Atobe had already quickly passed the usual tentative attacks in the early stage of the game: these two people are also very familiar with each other, and it’s not like they haven’t played before. I also watched a lot of videos.It goes without saying that Li Haida and Bingdi know each other well.

Attack, attack, still attack!

Beat the guy across the net!

I... want to stand on the top!

This kind of fighting spirit caused other people watching the battle to exclaim: "It's really scary..."

"This feeling of oppression..."

After the game started, Nioh, who slipped to Yukimura's side, squeezed his braids and asked in a low voice, "Puff, are you angry, Yukimura?"

Yukimura, who kept a smiling expression, tilted his head slightly: "What are you talking about, Nioh."

"The expression is scary. The lilies are about to overflow." Nioh smiled and said, "But it's really unexpected. Sanada would discuss the competition with Atobe in private."

"...Do you know something?" Yukimura raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Know something?" Nioh tilted his head. "Last night, when I saw Sanada in the gym, he looked like he was before the battle. I had a hunch that something interesting would happen."

"This matter is not interesting at all." Yukimura said, he snorted coldly, and no one heard it except King Ni who was beside him: "Sanada Genichiro..."

"Pfft, it's scary." King Ren teased.

"Scary?" Yukimura snorted and said, "I really think I'm scary, you won't be standing in this position now. Want to see my face change?"

"Why do you need to say something so obvious?" King Ren laughed.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you." Yukimura snorted: What makes him more angry now is clearly not the usual troublemaker Nioh, but Sanada who is seriously fighting Atobe in the arena...

King Nio shrugged.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Marui who was mouthing "You are so brave" at him not far away.

brave?

Pooh, that's not it.

At times like this, no matter how much trouble they make... Yukimura will only blame Sanada, right?

This is... a rare opportunity, piyo~
