Net King Returns to the First Generation

Lying on the potholes in the unnamed temple on the unknown hillside for a while, Yukimura and Nioh propped up their bodies and sat up.

They looked at each other, and before they had time to say a word, they heard the impressive voice from the game just now: "Hey, boys, it seems that you have rested?"

"Senior?" Yukimura turned his head and watched Echizen Nanjiro walking over wearing the same black monk robe (but it should have been changed).

"Come with me when you have a rest." Nanjiro smiled, "I have something to ask you."

"……Yes!"

A few minutes later, Yukimura and Nioh, who were gathered in the main hall of the temple (maybe?), sat down on their knees. Opposite them was Nanjiro, who was cross-legged and scratching his calf: "I won't entertain you to drink water. Feel free?"

"Yes, I'm going to trouble you today, senior." Yukimura saluted, "Thank you for your advice, senior."

Nanjiro waved his hand casually: "There is no need to say such things."

He glanced at Yukimura: "If Li Haida...are you the minister?"

"Yes." Yukimura nodded.

"No wonder." Nanjiro raised half of his eyebrows, "But it seems that your staff didn't say anything when they brought you here? Even so, do you completely trust him to bear all the consequences?"

Feeling that the words meant something, Nioh blinked his eyes guilty and pulled his pigtails sideways. In his sight, Yukimura raised the corners of his lips slightly: "I am the minister. I care about and trust the members. , isn’t it the minister’s basic request?”

The look on Yukimura's face when he said such a thing can't be fooled.

This made Renwang feel a rare embarrassment.

Nanjiro, who saw their expressions in his eyes, seemed to have seen something interesting, and also seemed to have seen something worthy of admiration.He flicked his sleeves: "Even so, you still get tired occasionally, right?"

Shaking his head, Yukimura put his hands flat on his knees: "Maybe it doesn't look like it, but my companions are a group of caring people."

That's right.

Being able to say such things, there is no need to doubt the degree of mutual trust between the teenagers.

Nanjiro finally tidied up his calves and cuffs.He stretched his hands into the wide sleeves again: "Just now, what was your state, do you understand?"

"Ability to resonate." King Ren responded.

Nanjiro looked at him with a smile: "It is indeed ability resonance. Although the resonance point was dislocated due to the imbalance of mental power in the end, the basic elements of ability resonance have been achieved."

Nioh nodded.

Turning his eyes to Yukimura's direction, Nanjiro continued to ask: "How did you feel just now? When the ability resonated, the last move you tried to use, do you know what it is?"

"...Different dimension tricks?" Yukimura said tentatively.

To be honest, Nioh didn't seem to have any vigilance or self-control in front of him, and he said something, mixed with a lot of lies and unnutritious personal feelings.However, it is not difficult to extract the key points from the nonsense.Although he knew the appearance of the trick from Sanada's description, but compare some of the specious words Nioh said to him before...

Can it match?

"It's indeed a trick from a different dimension." Nanjiro raised his eyebrows, "It looks like you two have a relationship of mutual trust.... Is this really the first time you're in a doubles match?"

"Of course." Yukimura laughed, "Can such a thing be faked?"

Pretentiously smacking his tongue, Nanjiro turned his head and looked at Nioh: "It seems that you have practiced in a different dimension for a long time, and the bottleneck period is also very long. The trick that has been practiced for so long is only because of a 'ability resonance' that the opponent How do you feel about mastering the essentials? If it weren’t for this kid’s lack of mental strength, his different dimension should be able to appear in the game.”

Such a talent Nanjiro is really rare.

He originally thought that his young boy Ryoma was already very talented in tennis. In order not to waste such talent, he even created several incidents that made Ryoma feel disappointed in basketball and fell into the embrace of tennis again (Minami Jiro) : It's all because Long Ya made Ryoma lose interest in tennis for a while!).But I didn't expect that after returning to Japan, among the middle school students I gradually got to know, there are still many talented players with the same talent.The head of Ryoma's tennis club is one of them.Although the sense of responsibility is so heavy that it puts too many shackles on yourself, but that kind of thing can be shaken off as long as you think about it. Once you get rid of it, isn't the future obvious?

And the two in front of me...

Well, the mental power level of the white-haired boy is also too high, and his on-the-spot response to the sudden emergence of ability resonance is also excellent.Although it seems that the talent is not top-notch, but if it has reached this level, it fully shows how hard this kid is working hard.Not without talent.After all, there are too many people working hard in the world.Those who work hard and achieve good results are already outstanding.

The boy with purple-blue hair next to him was even more terrifying.It's fine to comprehend the highly detailed mental power tricks called "dreams" in the competition, but with such a large mental power consumption, you can catch the inspiration of different-dimensional tricks almost instantly after the ability resonance...

This year's middle school students are really incredible.

Although it is mainly based on mental power, and the skills are also very fine, but there are no major flaws in strength, speed, etc., and it is not to the extent that it can hold back...

There are some things that can be further confirmed?

Nioh did not expect Nanjiro to ask such a question.

But the moment he heard the question, his conditioned reflex was like this: "What do you think, this is Yukimura."

He paused, licked his lips and added: "It's the minister of our Lihai University, who will evolve from a 'son of God' to a 'God' one day, puff~"

God's son?

Nanjiro suddenly realized: "It turns out that the 'son of God' mentioned by the old men of the Tennis Federation is you."

No wonder, he also said how many people like this can be produced in Japanese middle schools?

Such a comment is not particularly exaggerated, after all, it is another name.

And the boy's answer...

"Did you expect such a result from the beginning?" Nanjiro asked.

After thinking about it, Nioh replied frankly: "I don't know, but I always feel that what Yukimura does is reasonable."

"Aren't you sad?"

"There's no need to be sad. At least I know myself." Said Nioh.

It is so...

"It doesn't look like it, but you are really too calm." Nanjiro commented.

Too calm?

King Ren pinched his pigtails and tentatively said, "Is this a compliment from senior?"

"It doesn't matter if you continue to call me uncle." Nanjiro laughed, "Too cautious will be an eyesore~ It's better for young people to be arrogant and energetic."

"...Yes, uncle." King Ren replied with a blink of an eye.

Pausing for a while, Nanjiro moved his crossed legs to make himself more comfortable: "Are you curious why I ask you this?"

...Uh, how should I answer this kind of question?

Before Nioh and Yukimura could react, Nanjiro continued: "Although I'm not very willing, but since I agreed, I have to do it seriously, right? It should be a good opportunity for you."

He raised his hand and rubbed his nose: "The spring break after the end of the third semester in March next year will host the Youth World Cup. Japan's performance in the last session was not very good, and this time it should increase the intensity of selection and training. So , After the national competition, from the end of the second semester to the beginning of the third semester, there will be a U17 training camp to invite you. This training camp was originally only for high school students across the country."

He raised his eyes: "However, your deeds this year are too dazzling, and the previous Japan-US friendly match had such beautiful results, so the U17 coaches are already considering sending out training invitations to junior high school students. It should be settled later.”

"...Can you talk to us about this kind of thing?" Yukimura asked.

"It doesn't make sense to hide it." Nanjiro shrugged, "I haven't finished yet. After the Youth World Cup, I will be preparing for the new Olympic team competition four years later. You will also have the results of this year's Olympic Games. Do you know? It’s not ideal anyway. So I’ve got nothing to do with the old guys from the Tennis Association. I can only agree to be a coach. Now most of this group of national team players will reach retirement age after four years. Now, the chances of the new batch being directly promoted from the U17 are very high. Boys, how about working harder and striving to win glory for the country?"

……national team?

Wait, the national team? ! ! !

This kind of thing...

Looking at the two teenagers who couldn't control their surprise on the opposite side, Nanjiro didn't even bother to hide his emotions: "Surprised, boy? I'm telling you this because of your potential. Anyway, I'm The coach who leads the team also has to choose players who are more pleasing to the eye."

"...Thank you for your expectation?" Yukimura hesitated.

"Oh, this is indeed something to be thankful for." Nanjiro stood up from the ground with his hands propped up, and put his hands into his sleeves again: "Don't let me down~ Don't talk to other people about this matter for the time being." explain."

He took two steps and turned around: "By the way, what are your names?"

...You don't even know what our name is, so you said so many things that should be confidential and not suitable for them to know...Is it...

Is this person really the legend called Echizen Nanjiro...

Yukimura couldn't hold back the twitching of the corner of his mouth anymore, and his voice was rarely straightened: "Seiichi Yukimura, a third grader in the High School Affiliated to Likai University."

"Nio Masaharu, third grader at the High School Affiliated to Lihai University."

After getting the information, Echizen Nanjiro Shi Shi ran away, thinking about how to get the eldest son (?) who had run away from home for a long time (not) back to Japan to enrich the U17 lineup so as not to be too shabby. People can't choose.Although that kid will definitely not agree to play as a player of the national team, but it is also very good to be recruited as an assistant. You can be a little lazy~

Also, according to the lottery situation mentioned by the boy from Longma, will these boys from Lihai University meet Qingxue in the final?

Tsk tsk tsk, it looks like it's time to give Ryoma Boy special training.

I don't know how much I lost to others.

Well, the timing is also very suitable. When Longma and the others advance to the fourth round, why don't you take advantage of the five days before the competition to give the young Longma a special training in the mountains?He will definitely love the boy Ryoma very much~

Hahaha, come and feel the abundant fatherly love~

Nanjiro hummed a song, the more he thought about it, the happier he became.

Nioh and Yukimura, who were left in the temple by him, were silent for a while before they fully recovered.

"...National team?" Yukimura hesitated, "Echizen-senpai is telling the truth?"

"Logically true." Nioh said.He remembered that the coach of the Olympic team to be held four years later was indeed Uncle Nanjiro, but he was not at the level where he could compete for the national team list, so he took advantage of the trend to pursue his other dreams after losing the selection.more attention...

He remembered that Yukimura withdrew midway due to physical reasons and that the Japanese team still won the championship this time.

Other details...

Anyway, at least he knew it was true, poof.

I never thought that the preparations for the Olympics would start four years before the competition.

Yukimura also felt that this matter was probably not fake.His eyes were suddenly as bright as if some kind of fire had been lit: "If that's the case, then we have to work harder! You can't relax even after winning the national three consecutive championships!"

"Yes, yes." King Ni nodded, "Okay, let's go back to Kanagawa."

"...Did you do it on purpose today? Or was it really a whim? I was really shocked before, but I didn't expect Echizen-senpai to be like this now." Yukimura looked at him sideways.

"Pfft?" King Ni raised his head and pretended to be stupid: Well, he really didn't know that Uncle Nanjiro would agree to their competition so readily for that reason. The reason why he brought Yukimura was probably because he didn't have the confidence to Let Uncle Nanjiro agree to their challenge and Yukimura can be more eloquent?But this kind of thing...can you say it?

"Don't always pretend to be stupid." Yukimura smiled while crossing his arms, "I still have a lot of old debts from you, don't add another one to yourself."

King Ren turned pale with shock: "Wait, when will I have a bill with you?"

"It's always been there," Yukimura said.

This game brought Yukimura and Nioh not only a psychological shock, but also physical and mental exhaustion.Such a high-intensity game is rare for them.

Fortunately, it was Monday after the game, and there were still five days before the second round, which was the first round of Lihai University.

The rest of Tatekai University's tennis club were not surprised to find that Yukimura's fighting spirit was getting higher and higher as the match approached.

The requirements are strict and the amount of training increases.

These were accepted by the members without any complaints.

Because, when Minister Yukimura was making these requests, the persistence and love for tennis that almost overflowed his eyes really couldn't help being infected.Besides, their schoolbags still have... ahem, a love letter written by Minister Yukimura.

The words are so beautiful~

The tone is so gentle~

Most ordinary members think so.

Well, although it was unintentional, but Yukimura's "beauty trap" is considered a big success?

Li Haida's opponent in the first game, which is the second round, was Liu Liqiu.

This school, which had provoked Liu Sheng but was slapped in the face casually, was not taken seriously by the candidates of Lihai University at all.

The so-called emphasis on tactics and contempt on attitude is talking about a school that can at least make people a little bit on guard.As for Liuliqiu...

can they

For some unknown reason, Yagyu still told about his relationship with Liuliqiu before the game, and of course omitted the part where he exchanged with Kaitang. (Anyway, Nioh and Liu would not tell about that kind of thing if they knew about it.)

The result of this is that the players who originally didn't plan to play the game seriously all involuntarily put in more effort.

Five 6-0, also set the fastest record of the conference by the way.

Li Haida's opponent in the third round was a pocket from Hokkaido.

The school, which is a frequent visitor to the national competition, has never achieved particularly good results, and there are no particularly outstanding players.

Li Haida's three victories were also expected by everyone.

After easily advancing to the semi-finals, Li Haida waited for the results of the other quarter while recuperating. After a few minutes, they knew their opponents in the semi-finals.

Nagoya Star Toku.

"This year, Nagoya Hoshitoku is...all international students?" Sanada frowned and asked.

Liu nodded: "That's right, and the style of play is very tough. Every game, someone is carried out on a stretcher."

"...Where did the international students come from? I thought violent tennis wasn't popular in other countries except Japan." Yagyu pushed his glasses.

For Liu Sheng's question, Liu gave a correct answer: "In their view, this is not a violent tennis. The NBA still has a reasonable collision zone, and there is no rule that the ball cannot be hit on people. Anyway, they have no psychological burden, no For example, Japanese players will be affected if they hit someone."

"Yu, you also watch NBA games." Marui chewed his gum and exclaimed, "And are you alluding to anyone?"

For example, a NO.1 active Japanese tennis player who played very badly in this year's Olympics and is about to retire?

Shrugging, Liu turned a page in his notebook: "Let's discuss the roster."

Yukimura pondered for a while: "After the reform of the competition system, the most critical match has become singles two. Who is the opponent's singles two player?"

"Lilia Ander Tibetan Rabbit." Liu said lightly, "Although it doesn't look like it, it's actually a first-year middle school student. He has a very cold attitude on the court and is called 'Iceman', and his signature skill is 'Cross Cross'." "Punishment", to describe it is to use natural physical condition and good skills to hit the opponent on the wall to form a human cross. Many players were carried out because of this trick. Judging from the news from the hospital, this trick looks very Cruel but not irreversible to the opponent's body. Above. He's left-handed, by the way."

"Are you left-handed?" Yukimura raised his eyebrows, and quickly made a decision: "Then Nioh, you go first and play second."

"Pfft." King Ni responded with this craving.

"Singles [-]...Yagyu. Doubles [-], Yanagi, Kirihara. Doubles [-], Marui, Kuwahara. Singles [-], Sanada." Yukimura quickly decided on the list, "Any comments?"

"That's pretty good." Ignoring Kirihara's soft voice of "Hey, why are I playing doubles with Senior Liu", Liu closed the notebook.

Seeing that no one had any other opinions, Yukimura folded his arms and made the final concluding remarks: "Then, everyone, Li Hai Dai Sanlian-"

"There are no dead ends!"

"Chang Sheng——"

"Lihai is big!"
