I want to play tennis

Chapter 89 Endurance, Xiangri VS Golden Doubles Three

Ninja Yuuji asked Xiang Hiyake seemingly casually.

"It's really rare, you still think about the possibility of being hit back with that ball just now."

Kohidake looked at Yuji Ninzu strangely.

"Isn't it a normal reaction to think about the possibility of being hit back?"

……

"I mean, according to your personality, for the difficult return shot just now, you must think that the opponent can't hit it back."

"Oh, tell me this."

Xiang Riyue shrugged his shoulders indifferently, but his eyes calmed down rarely.

"I just thought of a sentence that Kid Che said to me before."

"A word?"

Ninja Yuuji asked curiously.

"what?"

…………………Dividing line…………………

At dusk, the sun in the distance is about to set.

The soft orange-red light passed through the well-organized buildings of the Bingdi campus, and spread quietly on the playground.

In the middle of the playground, Xiang Riyue was lying on the ground exhaustedly, his chest heaving and heaving, letting the sweat flow from his forehead to his temples, his wet hair spread casually on the ground, his eyes closed, and he complained intermittently.

"I'm really...displeased, why...why...the person who is fined to run laps every day...is me, obviously...obviously physical strength is...not my...strength..."

The lying posture with large characters and heavy body made Xiang Riyue feel that the gravity of the earth was stronger than usual.

"It's not that you are too weak, Senior Xiang Ri."

Feeling the light dim in front of his eyes, he slowly opened his eyes.

He saw Toru Kitahara smiling playfully at him, shaking a cardboard box in his hand.

"Senior Xiangri, do you want a cake?"

……

"By the way...why, boy Che, you... haven't... haven't come home yet."

Xiang Hiyake swallowed the cake in his mouth and looked at Toru Kitahara who was skipping rope.

"Obviously the training is over."

"Ah, because my friend said that today I have to practice the song a few more times for the school celebration. I have nothing to do, so I thought about going to the playground and practicing."

"Oh, it's your childhood sweetheart in the light music department."

Hearing Xiang Hiyake's deliberately drawn out tone, Kitahara Toru rolled his eyes.

"There is no need to emphasize childhood sweethearts."

"Humph."

Xiang Riyue smiled complacently.

"But why did you bring cake?"

"I can't finish it. I said that if I am hungry after exercising, I can eat it."

"Hey! That's great."

Kitahara Toru looked at Higashito with interest.

"Speaking of Senior Xiang Ri, since the coach said that the last runner in the lap every day will be punished for running, you have never lost every game."

"Hmph, I want you to talk more!"

As soon as he said this to Riyue people, he became angry.

"Hey, it was originally the last two penalty runs, so Senior Xiang Ri still has a companion to say."

"Who needs it!!!"

"Whizzing!"

Toru Kitahara began to speed up the rhythm of rope skipping.

Looking at the serious Kitahara Toru, Xiang Riyue asked curiously: "By the way, Kitahara, you are really hardworking. You are obviously very strong."

"No idea."

Kitahara Toru adjusted his breathing, and the panting sound began to intensify.

"After all, compared to this, the feeling of losing the game is worse."

"That's right."

After speaking to the Riyue people, the whole person lay on the ground again, recovering his strength.

Looking at Xiang Hiyake who was lying on the ground, Kitahara Toru deliberately teased him.

"Speaking of Xiang Ri-senpai, didn't you lose the match with Shishido-senpai before?"

"Hmph, that's just me accidentally underestimating the enemy!"

Xiang Riyue said unconvinced.

"Who knew Shishido and Feng would improve so fast, the next time I will definitely win."

"Underestimate the enemy? You underestimate the enemy when you know that the opponent has a certain strength, and you can't correctly judge the situation on the field."

Kitahara Toru became serious, stopped skipping rope, looked at Xiang Hiyueren with piercing eyes, and spoke with a heavy tone.

"It's the behavior of a second-rate player, Senior Xiang Ri!"

Xiang Riyue opened his mouth when he heard the words, but he couldn't explain what he wanted to say.

Looking at the slightly embarrassed Xiang Hiyake, the seriousness on Kitahara Toru's face disappeared again.

He smiled and said, "Then I'll go back first, Senior Xiang Ri, see you tomorrow."

Looking at Toru Kitahara's back, Xiang Riyue frowned.

...................................................

"A second-rate player, Beiyuan really didn't give you face."

Ninja Yuuji looked at Mukohidake playfully.

"But being educated by a first-year junior, Yue Ren, you are really ashamed."

"Crap!"

Xiang Riyue felt uncomfortable thinking about it.

"But you still have to thank Bei Yuan very much."

Ninja Yuuji looked in Kitahara Toru's direction.

"After all, it was thanks to him that you got rid of your habit of underestimating your opponent."

Hearing this, Xiang Riyue was silent, but nodded invisibly.

The game was still going on, and Yushi Ninzu's glance just now was discovered by the others.

Feng Changtaro asked suspiciously: "North Yuan, did Senpai Ninzu look at you just now?"

"I do not know either."

Kitahara Toru thought for a while, then looked at Keigo Atobe next to him.

"Minister, did Senpai Ninzu just look at you?"

"This kind of thing will not be known until the Ninjazu match is over."

Atobe Keigo said indifferently.

"Too."

At this time, Shishido Ryo spoke.

"However, it's really rare. Xiang Ri, who is usually proud, has such a cautious side. To be honest, that goal just now was a bit beyond my expectation."

"It's not surprising."

Atobe smiled.

"That guy Xiang Ri, after training almost every day, he is the one who punishes the lap runners. Although it is insignificant, it is also regarded as being punished, and it can also be said to be a failure."

"A person who is punished every day, or a proud person, will start to reflect on himself, plus running is a sport that needs to divert attention to reduce fatigue, so..."

"Senior Xiang Ri still looks the same as usual, but his personality is much calmer than before."

Kitahara Toru admired.

"It seems that running laps every day is still very effective. It exercises both the body and the will."

"Is that so?"

Shido Ryo thought of the unwillingness and pain in his heart after losing to Toru Kitahara, who was not the main candidate, and after learning from the pain, he honed his current self.

Immediately, I felt that Xiang Riyue's change was not surprising.

But speaking of it, it's just the shame brought about by running laps every day, which can be said to be not serious compared to myself at that time.

But just like that, Xiang Riyue actually found out that he had reflected on his own character flaws, that is to say... Xiang Riyue was more important than his own self-esteem.

"Compared to this, wasn't I more complacent and self-satisfied before? It's really inferior!!!"

Looking at Ryo Shishido who suddenly blamed himself, Hocho Taro asked concerned: "Senior Shishido, what's wrong?"

"Changtaro!"

Shishido Ryo looked at Hocho Taro seriously.

"We can't be content with the status quo, we must work harder, work harder!!!"

Although he didn't understand why Shishido Ryo was so serious all of a sudden, Ho Chotaro nodded firmly.

"Yes, Shishido-senpai!"

The sudden conversation between the two made Kitahara completely confused.

What am I missing?
