Net King Returns to the First Generation

Li Haida's game ended very quickly.

When they packed up their things and were ready to leave, they learned that the match between Qingxue and Liujiao in the lower half was not over yet, and they were stuck in the singles three.

The first-year students from the two schools were playing against each other, and the match was still a tug-of-war after a long time.

"Hey, it's a battle of the new generation." Marui opened the outer packaging of the chewing gum, "Who won the first two games?"

"Seigaku." Liu flipped through his notebook, "Seigaku's Kawamura and Momoshiro played against Rokkaku's Kuroba and Tengen in the second doubles, 7-6. The first doubles was Kikumaru and Fuji against Saeki Kazuki, 6-2. The third singles are still playing."

"Then it looks like our opponent is Aigaku." Marui threw the gum into his mouth.

"Ah, Seigaku." Kirihara yawned, "Tezuka isn't here, so the others aren't threatening at all."

"Shut up!" Sanada slapped him hard on the back of the head, "No matter what kind of opponent you meet, don't relax!"

"Yes, yes, the deputy director...it hurts!" Kirihara held the back of his head and glared at Sanada, but he shrank his neck reflexively at the moment his eyes met.

"In short, in the next week of preparing for the finals, everyone must not relax! Especially you Kirihara!" Sanada crossed his arms, "Only victory is not allowed! Did you hear that? Li Haida's three consecutive victories——"

"There are no dead ends!"

The game video of Li Haida's game was obtained by Qingxue a few days later.

The Qingxue people who were having dinner at Kawamura's sushi restaurant enthusiastically asked Kawamura to bring the projector, sat together and opened the video tape.And Ju Xing, who happened to be present, couldn't help showing a nervous expression.

The first half of the video tape was overwritten and washed out due to an accident, and when the picture of the game appeared after a burst of snowflakes, it was already halfway through the doubles match between Sanada and Yanagi.

"The second doubles players are Yagyu Hiroshi and Marui Bunta from Likai University. According to my information, they are not fixed partners, but a temporary combination." Gan pushed his glasses.

"...Why are the first doubles Sanada and Yanagi?" The third-year students who knew a little about Lihai University asked in puzzlement.

"They must have guessed our strategy completely." Xiao Xing whispered, and she sighed.

"What do you mean?" Taocheng asked.

"Since the Kanto Tournament, our Fudo Peak has adopted a strategy of putting all our strength in the first three matches." Xiaoxing lowered her head slightly, "Ishida and Sakurai will play the second doubles match, and Kamio and Iwu will play the first match. One doubles, my brother plays three singles, and strive to win the first three matches."

"Li Haida and the others simply took advantage of our competition strategy..." Xiao Xing clenched her fists. She recalled that day's competition and couldn't help getting emotional.

Seeing Xiaoxing like this, everyone in Qingxue couldn't help but look at each other.

Kikumaru thought about it, and then asked: "Doubles [-] is Yagyu and Marui, doubles [-] is Sanada and Yanagi... What about Nioh? Isn't that guy playing doubles with Yagyu all the time?"

"Nioh?" Gan pushed his glasses, "He just played doubles with Yagyu for most of the 'this year'."

"What?" Kikumaru pouted, "Aren't he and Yagyu both known as 'invincible doubles'?"

"That's because the two of them switched roles in this year's county competition, and they were evaluated as a combination of impeccable understanding and strength." Gan spread his hands, "Not to mention his occasional singles matches in the league, The game he came to Qingxue can show that he is not incapable of playing singles."

"So? He played singles this time?" Kikumaru asked.

"Well, well..." I laughed dryly, "In fact, in the list of Lihai University I got from the organizing committee, Nioh is singles one. By the way, Kuwahara, who has always partnered with Marui It's singles two."

"Huh?!" The others couldn't help but exclaimed.

Lihai University is the biggest imaginary enemy of all those who are interested in the national championship of Kanto. Therefore, Lihai University's information and previous game video tapes are often copied and analyzed by other schools.

The third-year students of Qingxue watched the Kanto finals between Lihai University and Ice Emperor in the previous year, and also watched a lot of video games of Lihai University in the previous year's national competition.This time they recorded the video purely because they wanted to know the changes and progress of Li Haida in the past year, as well as the changes of other players when Yukimura was not present, but this order of appearance...

"Are they drawn in order of appearance?!" Kikumaru couldn't help but patted the table, "Sanada and Yanagi came to play doubles, which can still be called tactics, and the combination of Yagyu and Marui is strange and unexplainable! Also, Nioh singles one, Kuwahara's singles two, who is the singles three?"

"Akaya Kirihara." Gan replied, "A second-year student at Rikkai University. The one who played in the singles third in the final of the Kanto Tournament last year."

"Ahhhhh, is that the game where Li Haida abstained?" Kikumaru clasped his hands together suddenly, "Speaking of the game where he abstained, I remember it was..."

"Both lose." Dashi sighed, "It's a game that I don't know how to evaluate."

"That fellow Kirihara Akaya is a devil!" Xiao Xing couldn't bear it when she heard Kirihara's name, she clapped her hands on the table: "No one plays like that!"

"...how... how do you play?" Taocheng was taken aback.

"Hey, the way Kirihara played last year was very strange, but didn't he get sick?" Kikumaru held his chin, "In the end he fainted and was sent to the hospital. I don't know what happened now."

"Look at it and you'll know." Qian restarted the suspended video tape.

The arrogant attitude of Kirihara, who spoke rudely as soon as he appeared on the stage, immediately made the two second-year students of Qingxue feel uncomfortable.

"This guy is really annoying!" Taocheng snapped.

"hiss--"

"Tachibana did a good job." Kikumaru blinked, "Was it easy to win the first round?"

On the TV, Tachibana smiled and said to Kirihara the words that detonated Kirihara's emotions.In the eyes of everyone in Qingxue, Kirihara, who was just ordinary and irritable, suddenly went wrong.

"Just now... were his eyes red?" Taocheng asked uncertainly.

"Is this Kirihara's physical problem?" Gan held the notebook a little hesitantly, "Last year Li Hai University abstained when Kirihara had red eyes. I heard that the physical problem was caused by Kirihara's high blood pressure."

The others in Qingxue who were listening nodded half-understanding.

After that, Kirihara's tennis ball bit Tachibana's knee hard at the end of the second game.

"Ah! I remembered!" Kikumaru clapped his hands suddenly, "Kirihara did the same thing last year!"

"Ah, yes, when we were playing against Akutagawa." Fuji unknowingly faded his smile, "I also suddenly hit the ball on my knee."

"Other people in Lihai University will react, right?" Dashi asked hesitantly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Sanada's majestic growl came from the video tape, which could not be mitigated even by radio waves: "Akaya Kirihara!"

"Uh... I just said that Li Haida and other people will react hahaha." Dashi was taken aback, so he could only laugh dryly.

But what happened after that was completely beyond the expectations of the people in Qingxue.Kirihara said "only this ball" in the direction of Lihai's rest area. Although he changed the course of the ball, he still let the tennis ball pass by Tachibana's body.

It stands to reason that this kind of ball is not too difficult to deal with, as long as you overcome your fear of tennis.It is a complete joke for teenagers who play tennis to say that they are afraid of tennis. Therefore, they are very puzzled why Tachibana can't restrain his dodge every time he catches the ball.

"This..." Lian Buer frowned slightly.

They watched as Tachibana forced himself up in such a dodging movement, but accidentally sprained his foot.

And Kirihara, who had grasped this weakness, returned to the start of the game, often hitting the ball on the backhand of Tachibana's left foot, and won the game without spending too much energy.Although the score and the game time are far from the Haikou where Kirihara started the game, the result...

Dry pressed the projector.

He looked at Xiao Xing, who had been clenching his fists without saying a word, and said, "I'm sorry, but I may take the liberty to ask, Tachibana..."

"Brother, brother..." Xiao Xing hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Brother remembered his past, so he couldn't help but hide from the tennis ball."

After that, Xiaoxing intermittently told the story of Tachibana's time in Kyushu, and that seemingly ordinary practice match that changed the lives of the two teenagers.

"...Brother Chitose's eyes have been diagnosed by a doctor, and the chance of recovery is almost zero. His eyesight is only one tenth of that of a normal person. For a tennis player, he can already be considered blind. Brother, he can't pass his own test, so... …I transferred from Kyushu and left, and swore that I would never play the old tennis again.” Xiao Xing bit her lower lip, “I know that my brother has never walked out of that game, otherwise, he would never have lost For Kirihara!"

"So... so there is such a thing." Taocheng looked at Xiao Xing and wanted to comfort him, but couldn't find the right words, and broke into a sweat.

He raised his head and wanted to ask for support, but he saw that the seniors all looked dignified.

"So that's the reason, is that the reason?" Fuji thought thoughtfully, "Then, Kirihara's style of play..."

"The video tape can't show it at all!" Xiao Xing clenched her fists in front of her chest, "That guy obviously wanted to hit the ball on my brother! It must be because of this that my brother couldn't help hiding! After all, my brother is here Experience from above..." Xiao Xing couldn't help but stop at this point.

She lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Don't people in Lihai University care?" Taocheng raised his eyebrows.

"I don't care about it." Dashi tried to calm Taocheng's emotions, "Didn't Kirihara say in the video just now, 'Seniors are super opposed to him hitting the ball on others'."

"But they didn't stop Kirihara because they opposed playing with the ball!" Xiao Xing retorted angrily, "After the game, we had post-match etiquette, and one or two of those people were so arrogant and annoying! They opposed Kirihara Hitting the ball at others is just for fear of affecting Kirihara's mentality and state!"

The others in Qingxue looked at Xiao Xing who was so excited, and looked at each other, not knowing how to comfort her.

Buer walked over and patted the girl on the shoulder: "Your brother, is he in the hospital now?"

"Well, yes, my brother's sprain has dragged on for too long, and he hurt a little bone. The doctor said it's better to stay in the hospital for a few days." Xiao Xing nodded.

"So, can you tell me the address of the hospital?" Fuji smiled.

"Ah...of course it's okay!" Xiao Xing blinked at Fuji in confusion, borrowed a pen and paper from the sushi restaurant, and told Fuji the address and ward number.

Echimae, on the other hand, watched the tape without saying a word until the end.

He watched Taocheng finally pluck up the courage to ask Ju Xing to leave together, and the seniors were also motivated by Li Haida's video, so they ran for extra training.

"...Everyone is still MADAMADADANE." As he muttered, the image of Kirihara licking his lips and eyes in the video tape unknowingly appeared in his mind.

The day before the final, a reporter from Tennis Weekly interviewed Li Haida again.

This time Inoue was not present due to his busy schedule, and Shiba, who was still a rookie, walked into the campus of Lihai University with lingering palpitations from his last visit to Lihai University.

"Excuse me, Sanada-san, may I ask your opinion on tomorrow's final?"

"Tomorrow's game? Tomorrow's game is just a simple practice. Our goal is to enter the national competition and win three consecutive championships!" Sanada turned and left after speaking, "I'm sorry, excuse me."

Such a statement that should have been apologetic, was clearly spoken by Sanada with a condescending meaning.

Zhi blinked in a daze, and had no choice but to leave Li Haida after a while.

The reporter's shock and dissatisfaction were fully expressed in her back, and the teammates who had been listening to the conversation not far away from the interview began to tease Sanada.

"Sanada, although you are telling the truth, your tone can be a little more tactful." - Liu "I don't understand what pity is, our vice minister." I've been blacklisted~" - Nioh...

"Aren't you guys busy..." Sanada had two veins popping up on his forehead, "Have time to chat here?!"

"Did you forget that we're going to see Yukimura later?" Nioh spread his hands, "Everyone is ready, it's up to you~"

"Then let's go!" Sanada pressed down on the brim of his hat and felt that his temper was getting better and better again.

Everyone in Lihai has been familiar with the way to Tokyo for a long time.

When he arrived at the Tokyo General Hospital, Yukimura was reading the album in the room, and when he saw his teammates coming, he raised his hand to say hello.He looked good and seemed to be in a good mood.Seeing Yukimura's extraordinarily energetic appearance, Liu couldn't help asking why.

It turned out that Yukimura's rehabilitation had come to an end.

Due to his strong personal fighting spirit and willpower, the progress of his rehabilitation after the operation was once beyond the imagination of the doctors.Even several foreign experts couldn't help but praise Yukimura.

"The doctor said that according to this trend, I may be discharged early." Yukimura sat on the edge of the bed and laughed, "They said that my muscle function has fully recovered, just to prevent recurrence, I need to observe for a few more days. And Even after being discharged from the hospital, regular follow-up visits are required within one year."

"That's great Yukimura!" Marui couldn't help but threw himself on Yukimura and hugged his shoulders, "So, you will be discharged from the hospital soon?"

"Well, we won't be able to catch up with tomorrow's final. The national competition is more than enough." Yukimura touched Marui's red hair with his backhand, "How about you? The record is good, and the opponent in the final is Seigaku?"

"Yes." Sanada nodded, "However, Tezuka relapsed from the injury in the match against Atobe last time, and now he has gone to Germany for treatment."

"That's it." Yukimura nodded his lips, "Haha, it's really interesting, Tezuka and I are not here, and the leader has become the vice president of each team. Isn't it, Sanada?"

Sanada pressed the brim of his hat.

"What about the order of appearance? Is it set?" Yukimura asked.

"Not yet." Liu shook his head, "Currently there are several options, each with its own advantages and disadvantages."

"Oh?" Yukimura folded his arms, "I'll listen."

A few people started talking about the order of appearance, and Kirihara on this side was being closely guarded by the seniors all the way (in order to prevent getting lost), and he had already felt impatient.

During the conversation, Yukimura saw the appearance of the younger generation emptying his head, and raised his eyebrows. He decided to find something for Kirihara to do while they were discussing the order of appearance.

"By the way, you guys told me about the match between Chiya and Tachibana last time. Although I don't think Chiya did anything too much, since Tachibana was so sprained that he had to be hospitalized, I still asked Chiya to apologize. It's better for a while." Yukimura suggested, "We can't let others think that we are rude. I remember that Tachibana was hospitalized here, the ward number... Ah, Bunta, you and Kuwahara took him to the front desk to ask, and by the way, look He's going to apologize."

Marui looked up from Yukimura's shoulder: "Is Tachibana hospitalized?"

"Well, I heard from the nurses that he hurt his bones." Yukimura said.

"Well... that seems to be the need for an apology." Marui blinked and stood up from the bed, "Let's go, Jack, Akaya."

"Ah? What?" Kirihara came back to his senses at this moment, "What did you say? What do you want me to do?"

"We said that Tachibana was hospitalized here. You are the one who indirectly caused serious injuries. It is better to apologize for the sake of etiquette!" Marui rolled his eyes, and he pushed Kirihara's shoulder, "Let's go."

"What, why should I apologize..." Kirihara was pushed away with a dissatisfied expression.

"This is what Yukimura ordered." Marui shook his finger and said.

"...I'll just do it!" Kirihara's voice gradually disappeared, but the last voice of complaint was still clearly received by the seniors who stayed in the ward, "Always ask me to do things that are difficult to understand, Seniors are so annoying!"

"Pfft." Nioh looked around at Sanada, and Yukimura and Liu couldn't help evoking a foxy smile with their secretive expressions.

Yukimura, on the other hand, smiled and shook his head: "It seems that Chi has changed a lot during my absence for more than half a year."

He looked at Sanada teasingly: "Xianichiro, don't you have anything to say? And Renji, what about you?"

Under his gaze, Liu slowly looked away, while Sanada darkened silently.
