Net King Returns to the First Generation

After switching venues, a new round started again.

It was Sanada's serve again.

And Sanada seemed to be irritated by Tezuka's attitude.

"I'm already getting impatient watching your dead look! Our Lihai University's three-in-a-row fight is unstoppable!" He shouted and hit the tennis ball. After returning the ball, it quickly reached the falling ball. point.

Again--

"Move like thunder!"

"To say such frustrating stupid things..." He held the racket with both hands.

"15-0!"

The tennis ball fell on Tezuka's court in the shape of lightning.

Sanada, who raised his head, broke out into a laugh that almost no one had ever seen before: "Hahahaha! Be overwhelmed by despair, Tezuka!"

"30-0!"

"Yes, no one can hit my 'thunder' back!" Sanada loudly swung his racket vigorously.

"40-0!"

And Tezuka, panting lightly, looked at Sanada with the same indifferent eyes.

This made Sanada even more angry.

"Heh, Tezuka, what are you doing, you useless guy?!" he shouted while waving his racket.

Such a scene, coupled with the deafening cheers from the auditorium of Lihai University——

"Lihai is big! Lihai is big! Lihai is big!"

"Emperor! Emperor! Emperor!..."

It was obviously a scene that made people tremble uncontrollably, but Tezuka suddenly remembered at this moment, the conversation he had with Echizen in the lounge after the department work the day before.

"Minister... use Tezuka's domain to draw all the balls out of bounds, can't you win?" The cat-eyed boy sat on the chair and said with a smile.

"Impossible. As far as singles are concerned, if you stand on the field, in the middle of 8.23 ​​meters..." He buckled up his belt, and told the theoretical common sense with the boy in a flat tone: "Stand there, The area that can be defended by the rotation of the body is about 1.5 meters in radius. Even if the opponent hits the ball to the corner of the court, as long as a certain amount of rotation force is applied in advance, so that the ball can lean towards the distance of 2.6 meters from the left and right sides, the Tezuka field will be It’s done. But on the other hand, if you want to draw the opponent’s ball that hits the center out of bounds, you must apply an external rotation force that allows the ball to move 4.2 meters to the left and right.”

After he finished speaking, he turned his head: "For you, it's a little hard to understand, right?"

After all, this is geometry knowledge for senior grades.

He thought so, but saw the boy's smiling face: "Oh, that means, it's still possible?"

Is it possible...?

Yes, it is possible.

Tezuka raised his eyes, he faced Sanada, and hit the ball with spin again.

But this time, the thunderous Sanada looked at the trajectory of the tennis ball in surprise.

The shape of the lightning was unknowingly deformed after it passed the China Open, and the lines that could not tell whether it was a straight line or an arc escaped his control.

"Out of bounds!"

"15-40!"

A moment of silence.

Coach Ryuzaki suddenly stood up from the chair: "Tezuka, no! Do you want to add more burden to the arm?!"

This sentence made other people who didn't know why, as if they were hit, they suddenly understood what Tezuka had done.

Tezuka he...

"You actually reversed the 'Tezuka Domain'..." Sanada gritted his molars and smiled, "It's really you, Tezuka!"

If you can't catch the ball, you won't catch it.

Is that the meaning of that sentence?

Oh, Tezuka Kunimitsu, indeed Tezuka Kunimitsu!

but……

"Do you want to lead my ball out of bounds?" Sanada's eyes widened. "If you can do it, try it!"

Look, is it your arm that collapsed first, or my knee that couldn't support the load of "Thunder" first!

Move like thunder!

"Out of bounds!"

"Out of bounds!"

"Out of bounds!"

……

"Gamewonby Tezuka, 1-4!"

"It's too bad." Yukimura leaned back on the back of the chair, and the corners of his mouth were raised a little, "Tezuka made such a choice, making it seem like Li Haidai is a bad person."

"Is it the same as the match between Seigaku and Hyotei?" Marui chewed his gum, "Sanada is in a situation similar to Atobe."

"It's still different. This is just the first game, not the last; and Genichiro won't use protracted battles like Atobe." Liu said lightly, "The choice of Xianichiro is probably because he wants to fight hard." Let's fight and see who can't support it first."

"It's obvious that I can win more easily, but I have to fight head-to-head with spears. Sure enough, I still don't agree with this style of play." Yukimura murmured, "But forget it, I don't want to quarrel with Genichiro for the time being."

"Whether you win or lose, if you have experienced it once, you won't have too many emotions about Tezuka." Yukimura said so, remembering that after the game three years ago, Sanada became different every time he mentioned Tezuka. His eyes also felt helpless.

Jokes are sourced.

If Sanada hadn't been so obvious, Bunta and Kuwahara wouldn't have dared to use this to make fun of him.

Forget it.

Thinking this way, he turned his head slightly: "This tactic of Tezuka... Nioh, do you see anything?"

Nioh, who was wearing Li Haida's sports coat and leaned on the armrest with only one face exposed, blinked, "What's wrong?"

"I remember that you can use Tezuka's field and zero slice, and also the zero serve derived from the zero slice. At least the zero serve has not been developed by Tezuka himself? Then this trick belongs to Tezuka If the domain is derived..." He looked at King Ni, "Huh?"

"Well." Nioh licked his lips, "Is it the reverse use of 'Tezuka Domain'?"

Looking at his appearance, Yukimura instantly understood: "You will."

"I didn't say anything, puli." King Ni narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Really?" Yukimura folded his arms, and the smile on the corner of his mouth finally became more real, "Then tell me, will you use this trick in the second singles later?"

Nioh looked away: "Let's talk about it when the time comes. There is still a long time for the singles match."

Kirihara, who has been staring dumbfoundedly at the completely abnormal deputy minister from the field (is that really the deputy minister?!), was stunned by Tezuka's move for a while (is that really a possible shot?!), As soon as I came back to my senses, I heard the conversation of the seniors.

He raised his hand and scratched his hair: "Wait, Nioh-senpai, you know how to use this?! But didn't Tezuka himself just research it?!" Obviously, there was no counterattack in the first four rounds...

"Shh~" King Ni raised a finger to his lips, and he looked at Kirihara: "Keep your voice down."

"So it's true?" Kirihara blinked.

"Don't you know when you wait for the game? Let's pay more attention to Sanada now." There was a hint of slyness in Nioh's eyes, "After being broken, he will soon be tied."

Indeed, on the field, after a few "out of bounds" sounds——

"Gamewonby Tezuka, 2-4!"

"Gamewonby Tezuka, 3-4!"

"Everything is out of bounds!"

"It's simply 'Phantom of Tezuka'!"

The audience gasped.

But people who can understand it are another look.

"Tezuka..." Coach Ryuzaki's face was very ugly, "Don't..."

"Mr. Ryuzaki, if you say that, could it be..." Oishi clenched his fists.

"The reverse of 'Tezuka Field', let the ball go out of bounds, and the rotation force will be increased by more than [-]%." Fuji's voice is rare hoarse, "His arm..."

Did he choose to sacrifice his arm again for Qingxue's victory?

But Tezuka, even if you are like this, we also...

We, too, couldn't be happier!

"Enough is enough, otherwise you will never be able to play tennis again." After this round, Sanada, who was broken again, said this while looking at Tezuka who was panting when he exchanged long lines.

This is the first time since the game that his tone is similar to usual.

The state of excitement was cooled down by Tezuka's hard-working and always wanting to sacrifice?Perhaps, Sanada knew that his current state was different from when he started the game.

It's definitely not that I have less fighting spirit to win, but...

But...

It wasn't this kind of Tezuka that he wanted to confront.

After three years have passed, has the burden on the shoulders of that energetic young man who only cared about tennis been so heavy now?

So Tezuka, are you playing for yourself, or for Seigaku?

Or, as a minister, is there such a spirit of sacrifice and excessive sense of responsibility?

"Is that all your enlightenment is?" Tezuka raised his eyes and said indifferently.

"Are you kidding me!" Sanada pressed the brim of his hat.

If you don't listen to good words of advice...

Let me see your final realization!

He returned to his serve line.

Looking at Tezuka who was on the opposite side to serve, he threw the tennis ball high.

Wait, this action, could it be——

The tennis ball quickly crossed the China Open, and then dropped suddenly. After landing, it did not bounce, but rolled towards the direction of the China Open until it was blocked by the China Open and stopped.

This is……

"Zero serve!"

In Qinggaku's auditorium, non-school team members who didn't know the truth cheered.

And with the appearance of this serve, the main players watching this scene in Qingxue's rest area fell silent.

Zero serve...

Bu Er clenched his fist.

It doesn't count if the Tezuka field is used in reverse, so is it necessary to use a zero serve? !

Tezuka, do you really not want your own arm? !

"15-0!"

"30-0!"

"40-0!"

"Gamewonby Tezuka, 4-4!"

After playing the four serves in this round, even people who didn't know the truth discovered that Tezuka was burning his arm to play.

because……

"Tezuka's arm..." Shiraishi narrowed his eyes in the audience, "Is it bruised already?"

"The elbow part has turned purple, and summer sports shirts can't stop it at all." Kenya's brows and eyes showed unbearable, "No wonder Sanada said that just now."

"So Sanada discovered it from the beginning." Shiraishi sighed softly, "His expression is also ugly now."

"After all, if the opponent does this, there will be other pressures besides the game." Qian also sighed, "Even we, knowing that Sanada has no responsibility at all for becoming like this, don't we still feel biased toward Tezuka?" ?"

"I don't know what Yukimura is going to do." Shiraishi looked sideways at Yukimura who put away his smile on the coach chair and couldn't see his emotions. "At this point, he will react."

As a minister, you should actually be...

Shiraishi remembered the video of the match between Seigaku and Hyotei that was broadcast to Kansai.

The Trace Department at that time...

I didn't get to be there, but when I watched the video, I still felt that what Atobe did was completely correct.At this time, I really saw such a game on the spot, and I realized that standing opposite that man named Tezuka Kunimitsu...it was terrible.

Li Haida, what will happen?

Li Haida, what will happen?

At this time, it was Qingxue who was more anxious.

Oishi's mind is full of what Tezuka said to him.

"I want to win the championship with everyone in this national competition. After that, I will go to Germany to train and enter professional tennis. So, tomorrow may be my last game in Japan. I must not have any regrets." leave."

But Tezuka, are you going to make this match the last match of your life? !

He looked at Tezuka, but couldn't say a word under Tezuka's usual calm expression.

Exchange venues.

Yukimura handed the towel to Sanada.

He said to Sanada, who had a serious face and returned to the expressionless state: "Is the knee okay?"

Tezuka's conspicuous arm bruises attracted most people's attention, but Li Haida still noticed it. As the bruises on Tezuka's arms became more obvious, Sanada's knees also changed color.

Sanada has practiced kendo since he was a child. To be honest, the strength of his arms is stronger than that of his legs.

What's more, the knee is actually the most vulnerable position.It is not known how many athletes have retired due to knee injuries.

Sanada, who used "Moving Like Thunder" without hesitation from the first round...

That kind of moving speed that exceeds the limit of the human body, the burden on Sanada's knees...

"I'm fine." Sanada replied.

"Are you going to continue fighting like this? Are you fighting with 'Moving Like Thunder' and 'Phantom of Tezuka'?" Yukimura asked softly.

"I will decide the outcome head-on!" Sanada put the towel on the chair, "I will end this match as soon as possible! There are still two rounds... Yukimura, I can't just watch Tezuka's arm get destroyed like this .He can't play like that anymore. The zero serve is even more taxing than 'Phantom of Tezuka'."

As he said this, he walked two steps and turned around: "I will do my best to win!"

As long as he wins soon, Tezuka, there is no need to play like that anymore!

Looking into Sanada's eyes, Yukimura sighed.

He raised his hand and brushed the bangs scattered on his forehead behind his ears: "It's up to you. If you decide so, I have nothing to say. But Genichiro, remember, you are still the deputy director of Lihai University ! Such a game, once is enough!"

Gripping the racket tightly, Sanada nodded.

He turned and walked onto the field.

This round was Sanada's serve.

Holding the tennis ball, he took a deep look at Tezuka across from him.

With Tezuka's current arm, he won't be able to hit a zero serve in the next game, right?

Maybe that guy will fight as hard as he can, but the trick of zero serve...he understands it?

At this time, I don't know whether I should be grateful to Nioh who always likes to use Tezuka's tricks.

Although he has never seen Nioh use Tezuka Phantom, he has seen a lot of zero serve.

He couldn't figure out what kind of spin would be needed to add to the tennis ball to hit that shot.

But at least, this is his serve.If the ACE scores, Tezuka on the opposite side will have no chance to use Tezuka Phantom!

If moving like a thunder isn't enough...

Then go one step further!

I, Genichiro Sanada, can go faster!

Sanada shook the tennis ball.

Go faster, make Thunderbolt go faster!

Mix wind and fire into it!

I, Genichiro Sanada... must defeat Tezuka Kunimitsu head-on!

Is the rotation subtle?

With strength and skill, I can do it!

Sanada swung the racket vigorously.

This ball is a combination of all the basic skills of the sword-drawing technique that he has practiced since he was a child, and the out-of-bounds that he finally glimpsed every time when Tezuka's phantom, which is as fast as thunder, can't handle Tezuka's phantom no matter what. Slight displacement of the ball.

As long as I do that...

Tezuka couldn't catch such a serve!

Even if you receive it, you can't use Tezuka Phantom to make it out of bounds!

"15-0!"

"what is that?"

"Wait, Sanada..."

After this ball, Sanada couldn't help but staggered a little before he adjusted his center of gravity and stood firm. Finally, the spectators discovered that using "Moving Like Thunder" all the time had no more impact on him than Tezuka's use of Tezuka Phantom. Come small.

"What!" Shiraishi couldn't believe his eyes, "Yukimura just let Sanada mess around like this?"

Shouldn't the minister ask Sanada to switch to a defensive move like "Lin" or "Shan"? !Just let Sanada and Tezuka head-to-head? !

"Is it to show that Li Haida will never lose even in a head-to-head confrontation?" Qian also guessed.

"I'd rather believe that Yukimura can't beat Sanada!" Shiraishi covered his forehead.As far as his understanding of Li Kaida is concerned, Sanada was obviously beaten to death by Yukimura.what is going on?

what is the problem?

Yukimura looked at the venue, but could still control the flatness of his expression.

Why do you want to indulge Sanada like this...

Because Sanada and Sanada are children, he knows each other very well, and he knows that if Sanada is not allowed to do this, then Tezuka will always be Sanada's heart knot!

Besides...

Heh, give up the singles chance, leave all the hope to the first-year student, and bear all the burdens...

Tezuka, do you really think that you are doing the right thing?

You, who are burdened with so many other things, and Sanada, who can only defeat you on the tennis court, who will have a better chance of winning?

I will wait and see!

"Gamewonby Sanada, 5-4!"

Tezuka's serve.

He looked at Sanada and raised his hand again.

Another... zero serve? !

"Gamewonby Tezuka, 5-5!"

He really doesn't want his arm anymore? !

Then I also...

Gritting his teeth, Sanada threw the tennis ball.

"Gamewonby Sanada, 6-5!"

This time, Tezuka regained the right to serve, his raised hand froze in the air for a while, and finally changed his posture.

Sanada, who was staring at him, knew that Tezuka finally couldn't use the zero serve anymore.

That being the case, just hold on for one more round...

Just one game!

Phantom of Tezuka again? !

It's useless!

The Tezuka Phantom you can use now is already too reluctant!

And my strength...

run!

My knees can hold up!

last ball.

Sanada swung the racket.

He watched as Tezuka added spin to the ball again, trying to use the Tezuka Phantom.

He was about to take a step, but the pain in his knees made him stagnate, and he almost fell to his knees.

He looked up and watched the tennis ball hit by Tezuka hit the middle net.

spin, climb, and—

Snapped.

Boom, boom boom boom.

It was a small sound, but in the end, because of insufficient rotation, it failed to climb the middle net completely and fell to the ground.

In other words, this ball...

There is no net.

There is no internet.

Reflexively, Sanada breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the ground.

"Gamewonby Sanada, 7-5!"

Hearing the score reported by the referee, Sanada braced himself up and stood up again.

He glanced at Tezuka who was already lying on the ground opposite.

That rascal……

My knee is already sore, but I can still walk.

Sanada bypassed the China Open and walked in front of Tezuka.

He stretched out his hand to Tezuka, as if he lost something somewhere in his heart, he became relaxed: "I don't want to play with you again."

In the past three years, why on earth have I been so persistent in the fight against you?

Obviously, you are not the Tezuka Kunimitsu three years ago.

And I am not the Sanada Genichiro I was three years ago.

Sanada's outstretched hand touched Tezuka's raised hand in the air.

Afterwards, Sanada turned around and walked slowly back to Li Haida's rest area.

He ignored the chaotic Seigaku crowd rushing up to help Tezuka up, but sat on the chair in the rest area by himself.

Liu has calming spray and medical bandages ready.

"Does it hurt?" Yukimura stood up from the coach's chair and walked to the front of the rest area.

Sanada took off his hat: "It's okay."

"Are you satisfied?" Yukimura asked.

"Yeah." Sanada nodded, hesitated, "Sorry."

"Since we won, there is nothing to apologize for." Said Yukimura, he looked at Sanada with an obvious helpless smile: "However, I can only accept this kind of thing this time. Genichiro , Don’t try to be a tragic hero like Tezuka.”

"...I won't." Sanada held back, and looked away a little guilty, "I will become stronger, and I won't let myself fall into this situation!"

……

It's almost impossible to have a good chat!

"You'd better reflect on it!" Yukimura couldn't bear to drop this sentence and turned to sit on the coach chair, "Lianji, watch him! If it's serious, send him to the hospital directly!"

"Don't worry, I'm watching." Liu put a bandage on Sanada's knee, "Looking at the current injury, it just looks scary, and there is no injury to the bones and meniscus. There is no major problem."

He raised his head: "But Xianichiro, you really have to reflect on yourself. Have you forgotten how we educated Chiya? You don't know how to set a good example for him."

"The deputy minister is never a good example." Kirihara complained seemingly unintentionally.

"..." Sanada chose to reach into his tennis bag next to him, find a clean black hat of the same style, and put it on.
