Prince of Tennis Tai Chi

"Hey, watch out, if you want to hit the ball with topspin, you have to use a Western grip like me."

"Wow, he is indeed the ace player of the Beigao Tennis Club, Sasabe Kojiro. He is so awesome."

"Yes, that's right. Most people don't know this."

"Idiot, this is just common sense."

On a fast-moving train, Sasabe Kojiro was showing off his proud football skills to his companions.

I saw him constantly drawing and swinging the racket, and it really looked like that.

......

Huh...huh...

Looking at the racket in front of her that almost hit her face, Ryuzaki Sakurano was so frightened that she didn't even dare to say anything. She could only keep moving back to avoid being hit by the racket.

Just as Ryuzaki Sakurano was enduring all this silently, a voice came from the side.

"Hey, you guys are very noisy, did you know that?"

Hearing the sound, Ryuzaki Sakurano and Sasabe looked towards the source of the sound. They saw a young man wearing a red coat and a white hat, with a tennis bag next to him, sitting in front of them with his head lowered.

"Hey, brat, were you talking just now?"

After a while, one of the passers-by said.

At this moment, the train suddenly shook violently.

Click, click.

As the train shook violently, the racket in Sasabe's hand fell onto the train.

"Really, I was taught a lesson by a primary school student."

As he spoke, he bent down and picked up the racket.

Just as Sasabe was racking the racket, the boy who had been sitting in the chair spoke again: "The correct Western-style grip should be to hold the handle of the racket from above when the racket is facing down."

"What did you say?" Sasabe looked at the boy doubtfully.

"By the way, the grip you just showed should be called the 'Oriental Grip'. Please remember it next time. Don't forget it."

Hearing the boy's words, Sasabe felt that he couldn't keep his face off for a moment.

However, just when he was about to say something to refute, the train arrived.

As the car door opened, the boy stood up, picked up his tennis bag, and walked out slowly.

"Hey, wait, stop!"

Looking at the boy leaving, Sasabe shouted loudly.

At this time, passerby A from the Sasabe trio came over.

"Sasabe, how embarrassing."

Hearing his words, Sasaki gave him a cold look.

Just when Sasabe was about to speak, the train bell rang.

"Oh no, we have to get off the train too." After saying that, Passerby B pushed Sasabe and the two of them and ran off the train.

"Ah...I'm getting off the car too."

Ryuzaki Sakurano, who had been huddled behind the three Sasabes, looked at the three people who ran out of the car, and then realized that she had also gotten off at this stop. He suddenly jumped up from his seat, carried his bag, and ran out of the car quickly.

......

"Really, grandma promised to pick me up, why haven't she come now?"

Standing at the exit of the station, Ryuzaki Sakurano shook her head from side to side and searched for a long time, but she still couldn't find her grandma.

While she was complaining, she suddenly heard someone calling her next to her.

"Hello there."

Sakurano Ryuzaki turned around and saw that it was the boy who was helping her out on the train.

(Actually, Ryuzaki Sakurano was overthinking it. The reason why she spoke on the train was simply because Sasaki and the others were too noisy. Plus, she couldn’t stand Sasaki’s pretending to understand. He was definitely not helping her out of kindness. Rescue.)

He looked around, then pointed at himself and said, "Are you calling me?"

When the young man heard this, he looked at Ryuzaki Sakurano as if he were a fool, 'Is there anyone else here besides you? ’

Then he said: "Do you know where the Kakigizaka Tennis Garden is?"

Looking at the boy in front of her asking for directions, Ryuzaki Sakurano was stunned for a second and then said: "Kakakizaka Tennis Garden?"

"Let me take a look. It seems to be heading in that direction."

Sakurano Ryuzaki pointed in the direction of the south exit and said to the boy.

After hearing Ryuzaki Sakurano's words, the boy turned around and walked towards the south exit.

......

Half an hour later, the people Ryuzaki Sakurano was waiting for finally arrived.

Looking at the belated grandma in front of her, Ryuzaki Sakurano couldn't help complaining: "Grandma, you are so slow to come. We made an appointment long ago."

"Sorry, sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road, so I came a little late." Hearing Ryuzaki Sakurano's complaint, Ryuzaki Sumire scratched the back of her head and said sheepishly.

Immediately, he led Ryuzaki Sakurano towards the north exit.

Looking at Sumire Ryuzaki walking towards the north exit, Ryuzaki Sakurano asked doubtfully: "Grandma, shouldn't the Kakigizaka Tennis Garden be taken from the south exit?"

Hearing Ryuzaki Sakurano's words, Ryuzaki Sumire stopped, turned around slowly, looked at Ryuzaki Sakurano and said, "What? Kakigizaka Tennis Garden always goes north."

"Let's go quickly, otherwise we won't be able to see anything when the game ends."

After saying that, he continued walking towards the north exit.

Hearing her grandmother's words, Ryuzaki Sakurano finally realized that the direction she pointed to her 'savior' half an hour ago was wrong.

He raised his hand in panic, covered his mouth, and said, "It's over. I told him he was going in the wrong direction."

However, time no longer allowed Ryuzaki Sakurano to continue thinking. Seeing her grandma walking away in front of her, Ryuzaki Sakurano had no choice but to run over quickly to follow her.

......

"Where are you? Where are you?"

At the Kakigizaka Tennis Garden, Ryuzaki Sakurano quickly shuttled between the courts, and kept shouting: Where are they?

Seeing the panicked Sakurano Ryuzaki, Sumire Ryuzaki, who was following behind, couldn't help but ask: "Sakuno, what are you looking for!"

However, Ryuzaki Sakurano, who was in a hurry to find someone at this time, didn't even notice what Ryuzaki Sumire said, and continued to look around, trying to find the person she was looking for.

Another half hour passed, and Ryuzaki Sakurano still couldn't find anyone. Walking up to Sumire Ryuzaki, she asked disappointedly: "Grandma, what will happen if the game doesn't start on time?"

Hearing Ryuzaki Sakurano's question, Ryuzaki Sumire said: "It goes without saying that if you don't play on time, you will definitely be sentenced to automatic forfeiture."

"Voluntarily abstaining, wouldn't that mean...it's over, it's over." Ryuzaki Sakurano instantly raised her head and looked at Ryuzaki Sumire.

Then he turned around and ran in the other direction, leaving only one sentence: I'll go over there and have a look.

......

Ryuzaki Sakurano, who ran all the way along the road, finally found the boy lying on the lawn to rest.

Slowing down his pace, he walked towards the young man. Then he shouted softly: "Well, are you okay?"

Hearing a voice in his ear, the young man raised his head slightly and looked up.

"It's your game..."

"If you are five minutes late, you will be automatically forfeited." Before Ryuzaki Sakurano could finish asking, the boy said.

After being interrupted, Ryuzaki Sakurano heard the boy's words and bent down in shame, saying, "I'm sorry. It was all because I pointed in the wrong direction that you missed the game. I'm really sorry."

Looking at the girl who bowed and apologized, the boy sat up and said, "It's not all your fault, I'm already late anyway."

But faced with the boy's comfort, Ryuzaki Sakurano felt even more guilty.

"How about I buy you a drink and treat it as compensation for pointing me in the wrong direction? Please."

Looking at the girl with her hands clasped together, the boy was at a loss and had to follow her to the vending machine.

......

"Speaking of which, I still want to thank you." Looking at the boy on the side, Ryuzaki Sakurano said.

However, her words confused the young man.

"Thank me? Why?"

"Because thank you for helping me out on the train before, otherwise I would have been hit by the racket."

"On the train? Racket?"

The young man looked at the sky and thought about it carefully before he realized what he was doing.

"Oh, I remembered."

"By the way, are you on the train too? Sorry, I didn't see you."

"Besides, I made a noise simply because they were too noisy."

At this moment, an empty can flew out from behind the two of them, passed through the gap between them, and fell to the ground.

What followed was an annoying voice.

"Sorry to disturb you."

The boy turned his head and looked behind him, and saw the Sasabe trio standing behind him.

"Hey, hey, isn't this the kid just now?" Passerby A said arrogantly.

"It seems that he has lost the game and is going to run home in despair to find his mother." Passerby B continued.

Sasabe, who was standing in front of the two of them, stretched out his racket, raised the brim of the boy's hat, looked at him and said: "I am the seed player in the under-16 category, and I am also recognized as the player most likely to win the championship. How dare you blame me?" Noisy, if you feel like it, just say it again and try, ah."

Putting down his racket and looking into the boy's eyes, Sasabe instantly became angry and shouted: "You brat, what's that look in your eyes?"

"You little brat, if you want to talk tennis with me, wait another hundred years, you self-righteous guy!"

After saying that, he raised the racket with a roar and swung it hard towards the boy's face.

what......

Seeing the racket being swung hard at the boy, Sakurano Ryuzaki was so frightened that she covered her eyes with her hands, not daring to look any further.

However, Sasabe's movements did not frighten the boy. He still opened his eyes and stared at Sasabe.

After all, he was just a 'hot chicken'. Sasabe only dared to bluff, and the racket stopped in front of the boy at the last moment.

call......

Looking at the stopped racket, Ryuzaki Sakurano breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, passerby A said: "Oh, we should go."

Hearing his words, Sasabe put away his racket, looked at the boy, and said with a disdainful smile: "That's right, I have nothing to argue with you, a kid. Let's go, there will be a game later."

Just when the trio was about to leave, the boy who had been silent suddenly said: "Hey, do you remember the correct way to hold the sign?"

After hearing this, Sasaki turned around, looked at the boy who picked up the can, and asked viciously: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"Look, let me teach you how to use the racket today."

Then he threw the can in his hand into the trash can.

......

Looking at Sasaki on the other side of the court, and then at the boy next to her, Ryuzaki Sakurano still hasn't realized how things turned out like this.

Looking at the boy who was tying his shoes, he said worriedly: "Is this really okay? Let's forget it."

"I'm already here anyway. Wouldn't it be funny if I went back without playing a game?"

After saying that, the boy took off his coat, asked Sakurano Ryuzaki to help him take it, then picked up the racket and walked onto the court.

"The game starts, Sasabe serves first." Passerby A said on the sidelines.

After hearing his words, Sasabe said: "There is no need for a referee, I can make the decision myself."

After hearing Sasabe's words, the boy standing on the other side of the court said calmly: "Whatever you do, it doesn't matter to me anyway."
