Net King Returns to the First Generation

The opening ceremony of the national competition will be more than a week after the end of the youth election. After it was decided that Tokyo would host the national competition, an additional spot was given to a school that was not in the top four in the Kanto competition as usual.Although Bingdi was eliminated in the first round of this year, he has achieved good results in the national top eight in the past two years, so he joined the lineup of the national competition.

——Of course, Atobe himself will not feel happy about this result.

A lottery was held before the national competition, and Li Haida got a bye in the first round.Qingxue also had a bye.

In other words, before the real national competition, Lihai has a week of preparation time.

There is no need to elaborate on what happened at the lottery ceremony. It was nothing more than a certain school famous for collecting information that belittled Lihai University-this time Lihai University did not lose to Qingxue, so their belittlement seemed insufficient.In order to strengthen the lethality, they degraded together with Qingxue Bingdi.

It was Yagyu and Kaidou who heard this belittling conversation.Haitang, who thought "how can you say that about a school that defeated us" and "how can our Qingxue be belittled by you?" was the first to explode, and Yagyu also reacted later.

After that, the inexplicable change of doubles was born...

"Hey, Hiroshi, are you addicted to playing?" King Ni mercilessly said after learning about this (thanks to Liu for the information, otherwise he would not have known about this! Did he have it in his previous life?) Taunted Liu Sheng.

A single sentence would suffice to respond to such sarcasm.

Liu Sheng pushed his glasses: "Whose fault do you think this is, Nioh Jun."

Who was it that made him interested in dressing up?

Moreover, exchanging equipment skills in order not to reveal information is nothing.It is also a good thing to be able to collect information on the second-year student of Qinggaku (it feels like the next minister).As for his own information... Heh, would anyone think that it was Yagyu's real information?

Laser beam, there are many versions, and many grades.

It was raining lightly the day before the opening ceremony of the national competition, and Lihai University’s school team members and those who were not on the school team but voluntarily participated in the extra training during the holidays (also basically the potential seeds for the next and next main election) were training on campus as usual .

It was under such circumstances that Atobe appeared by the tennis court of Rikkai University.

The figure in the gray hoodie was spotted as soon as he approached the tennis court. After all, under the management of Sanada, the Tachihi Tennis Club has strict discipline and prohibits idlers from entering during training.

Igarashi walked over: "Sorry, you..."

When he walked not far from Atobe, he realized that the man with a hoodie covering his blond hair was the Head of the Tennis Club of Hyotei, Keigo Atobe.

"... Atobe-san?" Igarashi asked in surprise.

"Ah, I'm here to find someone." Even in Lihaida's venue, Atobe didn't feel uncomfortable at all, "Is Sanada there?"

"Ah, the deputy minister..."

"Are you here to find me?" a deep voice sounded.

Igarashi turned his head away: "Deputy Minister?"

"You go back to practice first, leave this to me." Sanada walked over with a tennis racket.

"Ah, yes!" Igarashi saluted and went back to the tennis court.

It was only then that Atobe took off the hood of his hoodie, revealing his slightly curly blond hair. Under the blond hair, the young man with ostentatious eyebrows stretched out his hand to Sanada: "You, come with me game!"

"..." The tone of this order... Who is he ordering?

"Private competitions are prohibited in informal competitions." Sanada said with a cold face.

"Ah, in private?" Atobe raised his chin slightly, "My uncle challenged you openly, why, don't you dare to accept the challenge?"

"..." Sanada frowned.

"In a word, fight or not?" Atobe said.

His eyes were so aggressive that Sanada couldn't help but feel offended by his territory.He pondered for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay!"

"My uncle is waiting for your words!"

Atobe obviously skipped training and came to Kanagawa.

Generally, the tennis club's training is based on the usual training schedule, that is, even if it is a holiday, it still follows the class schedule, starting at 04:30 (just to avoid the peak of the sun), ending at 05:30, and additional training Until 06:30, the museum closes at seven o'clock.

And now... at five o'clock in the afternoon, Sanada had just finished the routine warm-up and guided a group of juniors to practice receiving and returning the serve, and the real training hadn't started yet.

It is the best competitive state after warming up.

Of course, the news of the match between these two people cannot be hidden from others.

As the candidate for the next deputy minister, Igarashi, who was born to worry about his life, saw that the momentum was not right, so he hurried to the other side of the field to find other candidates who were there to guide the non-school team members.

Nioh hit back the last ball when he got the news.He made a pause in front of the text on the opposite side of the field, and turned to look at Igarashi who came to report the news: "You mean, Sanada and Atobe are fighting?"

"Yes! Atobe-san came to the tennis court and said he wanted to find the deputy director, and then they..." Igarashi hesitated to speak.

"Pfft." Niwang pulled his pigtails: It seems that this happened in the previous life, but I didn't expect it to be today?Speaking of this game...

He turned his head and saw Yukimura whose smile had been reduced by a few percentage points.

Yukimura, who was supervising a few potential first-year students doing skill training, walked over with arms folded: "A fight? Again? Heh, I really have to go and see."

He glanced at the smiling Nio: "If you are curious, come together."

King Ni followed up: "What are you worried about? It's not been more than ten minutes, and the game won't be so critical."

"I'm worried about Genichiro's trump card." Yukimura supported his coat, "The last time he played in the Aosen and Atobe match, he almost used 'yin' and 'thunder' in his blood. Then What about this time? Can Atobe come to find Sanada something good? Isn’t it just to test the tricks? If you don’t need to use 'yin' and 'thunder'..." Yukimura frowned.

"It's okay to use it." King Ni didn't quite understand.

Yukimura shook his head: "Xianichiro said that it was a trick he prepared for Tezuka. Of course, I don't think what will happen if I use it in advance, but if the bottom line I set is crossed in advance, it will cause psychological anxiety and anxiety. The instability of the state is predictable. Right now, Li Haida's three consecutive victories are the most important thing, and I will not allow any unstable factors."

"You're too nervous, Yukimura." Nioh said while pinching his braid.

"Maybe, maybe I'm too impatient." Yukimura said softly, "However, if this happened when I didn't know it, that's all. It happened when I could prevent it. It goes on."

He strode close to the tennis court where Atobe and Sanada were playing, and saw the wrong look in Atobe's eyes at a glance.

There is also the spiritual power spreading on the field and what can be seen if you use the spiritual power to echo, those in Sanada's half...are they icicles?

This trick of Atobu...

Is that what he meant?

Seeing that Sanada was about to swing his racket as soon as he gritted his teeth, Yukimura stepped forward in two steps: "Let's stop here."

"Ah?!" Atobe looked over with displeasure at being interrupted, he raised his eyebrows and straightened up: "It's you, Yukimura."

"It's me." Yukimura stepped into the arena lightly, "Long time no see, Atobe."

"It's been a long time, it's been less than a week." Atobe said unceremoniously.They met three days ago at the draw of the national competition, and now they say it's been a long time...

Of course it was a polite remark.

After finishing the polite words, we will enter the topic.

Yukimura walked directly to Sanada's side, and waved at Sanada: "Your training is over? Or is the guidance finished?"

"... Yukimura." Sanada shifted his gaze a little bit guilty.

"Just do it before you finish it. As a deputy minister, don't you know how to lead by example?" Yukimura said, but his tone was very calm.The meaning in the words is clearly stinging, but it doesn't sound like a reprimand, but like an exhortation.

This is really creepy.

Such Yukimura.

Sanada shuddered secretly, and decisively decided...let's listen to Yukimura.

Seeing that Sanada was about to turn around after wiping off his sweat, Atobe raised his eyebrows: "Let's go now? The game is not over yet."

"There is no need to continue fighting." Yukimura looked at him and raised the corners of his lips slightly, "You have already practiced your moves, haven't you? You have achieved your goal and you can go."

"Oh? Don't you welcome me?" Atobe also raised the corners of his lips.

"If you want to play a practice match, please contact me a week in advance to make arrangements." Yukimura's smile deepened.

Sensing keenly that Yukimura might really be a little angry, Atobe accepts as soon as he sees it.

As soon as he raised his hand, he put on the hat again, and walked out of the court with the racket between his hands: "Then I won't keep any more, see you at the national competition."

The impact of this incident on Li Haida was probably that Yukimura, who felt more and more that this period of time was not going well, adjusted the team's training list again, and the others wisely accepted it silently.

And, the impact of this incident on Nioh...

It's just that he suddenly felt that there were not many things that Li Hai could do during the week of preparation when he came out.

Hey, can I...

In the first round of the competition, the dialogue between Rokkaku and Higa made the onlooker Seigaku blow up.

Li Haida went to see the game only Liu, who routinely collected intelligence.

For him, Bi Jiazhong's style of play is not particularly barbaric - Shizile Middle School, which was pulled down by them from the throne of the Kyushu Conference, is even more notorious.As for playing coach...

Li Haida has no coach.

On the second day after the game, that is, the Sunday when Li Hai had no training routinely, Nioh asked Yukimura out.

"Why did you call me out all of a sudden?" Yukimura joked, "Do you want a competition?"

Both of them thought of the sudden game half a year ago.A bit of a role swap indeed?

Niwang smiled with his pigtails: "It's not wrong, it's just... I want to visit someone, but I don't want to go alone."

"Visiting... alone?" Yukimura raised his eyebrows, "That's why you asked me to take a tennis racket to Tokyo to climb a mountain today?"

"Pfft, this is not climbing a mountain." Niwang complained, "It's a small hill at best. Besides, the person I want to find is in a shrine... or in a temple?"

"You can't even tell the difference between the shrine and the temple, Nioh, you better not say that you are a student of Rikkai University when you go out." Yukimura joked.

The two walked for a while, and finally saw the appearance of the building on the hill (slope).

The small temple in the mountains looks quite dilapidated.

What is surprising is that the simple tennis court inside can be seen from the low wall around the temple.

……tennis court?

Yukimura frowned, and he looked carefully at the gate of the temple.

No plaque, no name, no logo...

The people in this temple...

"It should be here." King Ren walked in first, "I don't know if he is there, anyway, let's go in and see first."

"...I don't know if you are here, so you came here directly?" Yukimura said helplessly, "Aren't you afraid of making a trip in vain?"

"The chance of being here is more than 50.00%." ​​Nioh laughed.

"Who are you taking me to?" Yukimura asked puzzled.

He followed King Ni to the back of the temple.

From the outside, it looks like a small place, but when you go around the back, you will find something strange.

The fence seen in front is half open, behind the glimpsed tennis court there is a pavilion and a big clock, and on the handrail of the pavilion lies a monk in a black robe flipping through a magazine.

...is it a monk?

have hair?

When he saw the monk, the smile on the corner of Niwang's mouth deepened.

He walked over and stood beside the monk.

The middle-aged man who was blocked from the light moved away the magazine in front of him, raised his hand and picked his ears: "Hey, boys, what are you doing here?"

It's a fool's errand.

Nioh let go of the hand holding the pigtail, and held the strap of the tennis bag he was carrying: "Mr. Echizen, please excuse me. We are here to play with you."

"Competition? What competition?" The middle-aged man played dumb with his fingers still in his ears. "A competition to knock wooden fish? This is a temple."

Niwang's face remained unchanged.He had already seen this person from the selection of U17s. Of course, he was disillusioned when he first met, and he got used to it over time.Glancing at the middle-aged man who was about to play tricks to the end, it was rare for Nioh not to beat around the bush, but said directly: "Of course it's a tennis match."

"...Tennis game?" The middle-aged man raised his eyes, "Young man, what are you kidding? I don't know much about tennis."

"Since your name is Echizen Nanjiro, I don't believe you can't play tennis." King Ni bent his lips.

"Who is Echizen Nanjiro?" The middle-aged man continued to play dumb, "There is no one named Echizen Nanjiro here."

Nioh raised his eyebrows in distress. He unzipped the tennis bag behind his back and took out a magazine that looked old. Mr. Nanjiro is here, after all, it is too different from that time? Hey, think about it, a generation of girl killers has become a middle-aged uncle, time is really a butcher's knife."

He held up the magazine, and the inside page was clearly a close-up of Echizen Nanjiro swinging his racket in the last semi-final before he retired.

Minamijiro, with his ponytail and headband, was at his most handsome in his 20s.

"...Uncle?" Nanjiro twitched his eyebrows.

"Speaking of letting your children come back from the United States to study in your old school, Mr. Nanjiro, you are a nostalgic person, right?" Nioh continued with a smile, "It should be that he has a lot of affection for Qinggaku."

"So?" Nanjiro's eyebrows twitched again.

Nioh pointed to his clothes: "We are students of Lihai University."

"Young man, if you speak provocatively, you should be more straightforward. I can't understand you if you are too tactful." Nanjiro sat up from the armrest, and he put down the magazine in his hand while supporting the armrest.

"It doesn't matter if it's direct or not, as long as it works." Nio said, "Mr. Nanjiro agreed to compete with us?"

"...If you don't agree, you will be pestered to agree, right?" Nanjiro stretched his back neck, "I'm most afraid of teenagers like you, full of energy. Oh, every time I feel really old."

"I don't know where you got the news, but you found such a remote place." Nanjiro frowned and complained, "Could it be the news from the monthly tennis magazine?"

"If you want to find it, you can always find it." Nioh replied, "If you can't find it here, you can find it at the Echizen Mansion."

"...Do you know the address of the Echizen house?" Nanjiro couldn't help complaining, "Young people nowadays are really scary."

Speaking of which, the previous friendly match with the US team exposed his father-son relationship with Ryoma, and it will be a matter of time before he is found.But the one who got here first was not Ryoma's senior from the same school, but an opponent from another school?Response so fast and so positive...

It seems that this year's Qingxue did not deserve to lose.

He thought so, and moved his waist: "Forget it, let's just use it as a exercise. Ah, it's very hot, let's end it as soon as possible."

Finding his loose wooden tennis racket from the corner of the pavilion, Echizen Nanjiro put his hands on his hips: "Yaoju, in such hot weather, I really don't want to play."

He took two steps towards the tennis court next to the pavilion, then turned around and said, "How about you two playing together?"

Together... on?

Nioh blinked in surprise.

Yukimura, who hadn't spoken until just now, just stood next to King Ni, just finished digesting the news that "this down-and-out monk is actually Echizen Nanjiro?!", and only then did he understand why King Ni called him out.

Such a chance to fight Echizen Nanjiro...

He took a step forward: "Then I will trouble the senior."

"Yukimura?" King Ni turned his head to look at him.

"I've been talking about a doubles match with you before, but it never came true." Yukimura curled his lips, "It looks like today is a good opportunity."

Nice...chance?

"Pfft." Nioh untied the tennis bag.
