【All Yue】Order Manager

The development of the matter was exactly in line with Tezuka's prediction. Before the second day's semi-finals, Echizen was taken to a strange place, and met a man who was putting on airs and knew at a glance that he was not the person in charge.Then, according to Tezuka's instructions, he lost his temper and reluctantly cooperated, and defeated his opponent in the semi-finals and successfully advanced.

After the game, he purposely wandered around the world to give the opponent a chance to find himself again. He finally completed the first task he had been given since joining the management department. He was standing outside the final court quietly watching the scene.

Today's final court adopts a tropical rainforest environment, and even the spectators in the stands are uniformly dressed in cool clothes, which is completely different from the harsh polar climate of the previous day's semi-final.Although standing on the sidelines of the court has not been affected by the environment settings of the court, Echizen felt hot watching him, so he hurriedly cast his eyes on the stands, carefully looking for those seniors who said they would come to watch his game.

At first, he felt that the heads of all the people looked the same, and he couldn't tell who was who, but after watching for a while, he gradually found them all.What Buer said is indeed true, even if the managers are not familiar with each other in the outer world, the bond of mutual attraction between companions in the inner world does exist.They sat scattered among the audience, even Tezuka, who was always expressionless, and Yukimura, who had a calm expression, showed enthusiasm that matched the atmosphere of the scene. It was a little funny to see Echi, and raised his hand to lower the brim of his hat to hide that he couldn't help but want to go up corner of the mouth.

Not long after, the system prompted the players from both sides to enter the field, and he stepped across the sideline first, and immediately felt the hot and humid air rushing towards his face. The extremely real body feeling made him break out in a thin sweat.And at the same moment, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a certain presence in the stands, he raised his head and glanced over there quickly, then immediately lowered his head, his hand tightly holding the racket trembled slightly—it was him The father who hadn't seen him for many days!

"Dad, Ryoma will be like Dad in the future and become a world champion!"

"Don't be stupid, little one, even if you want to be the world champion, it should be my brother first! My brother is much older than my little one!"

"Then...that brother will be the champion first, and then Ryoma will be the champion. We will all be world champions!"

"Haha, Xiaobudian said it very well! At that time, we will form a doubles team and win the championship together! It's a deal!"

……

At this moment, the scene of his youth was extremely clear in his consciousness. Echizen knew that it was a memory he had deliberately forgotten, and his eyes felt sore and hot.Long Ya... There is no one but Long Ya with that kind of carefree smile; and there is no one who deceives him and abandons him except Long Ya.But when he stood on the court where the outside world and the inside world symbolize the highest level of tennis, when he wanted to show off to Long Ya with the championship trophy, Long Ya lay quietly on the hospital bed, motionless like a dead person.

Because he stood in a daze, Echizen missed the ball guessing session, and the right to serve in the first set automatically belonged to his opponent, a muscular opponent who seemed to be full of strength, and looked like a middle-aged male.Feeling annoyed by the dissatisfied boos around him, he shook his head vigorously to forget the haunting memories, and strode towards the bottom line with his lips tightly pursed.

Playing in an environment with high humidity and occasional torrential rain requires extremely high strength from the players, because only in this way can the speed of the ball be maintained.When receiving the first ball from the opponent, Echizen had already realized how abnormal the strength of the opponent was. It was only by holding the handle firmly with both hands that the racket was not knocked into the air by the powerful ball.But protecting the racket, the huge momentum still pushed him back for a long distance. After fighting back, the whole person involuntarily threw forward and fell heavily to the ground.

This seemed to be the beginning of a nightmare.Throughout the first set, no matter which side served, Echizen's performance made the audience feel that what they saw was not tennis, but a fancy wrestling match that was more innovative in how to fall.Whether he slipped on the slippery and muddy red ground or was knocked into the air by the opponent's strong ball, in short, he didn't make a complete counterattack. The white uniform was covered with mud, and the whole body People look pretty embarrassed.

After the first set was over, the warm-up performance began. Echizen changed into clean clothes and sat on the sidelines of the court, ignoring the deliberately enlarged scolding around him, sitting with his head bowed and the brim of his hat pulled down.At that moment, a deep and gorgeous voice suddenly appeared in his head: "I said, little brat, play hard when you've had enough. It's a waste of my uncle's time at this level."

Dazed for a moment by the sudden voice, Echizen realized that this was from an internal channel exclusively for managers, and would not be used easily except for missions.Unconsciously, he raised his head and glanced at Atobe who was talking to him, and looked at the fancy man who scolded the hardest and most unpleasantly in the stands, he ground his teeth involuntarily, grabbed a ball and hit it hard. He cursed angrily in his head: "Bastard! King of Monkey Mountain! Just wait!"

It is also one of the characteristics of the world tennis competition that players and spectators can yell and criticize each other. Echizen's actions did not arouse suspicion, and even caused bursts of laughter.Similarly, there was a burst of laughter from the internal channel, and finally Fuji said: "Echizen, you have to work hard, Atobe spent all his wealth to buy you to win, if you lose, I guess he will kill you. "

"Fuer Zhouzhu, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb. Master Qianben doesn't like this!"

"No, no, little one, you must not lose! You are my idol, don't let my dreams be shattered!"

The messy quarrel in his head gave Echizen a headache, but because Tezuka had told him not to turn off the channel before, he could only listen, with a stinky expression, expressing the depression after losing to the fullest.Fortunately, the warm-up performance ended soon, and the environment of the stadium was changed to a desert full of wind and sand, which indicated that the second set was about to start, and the internal channel was finally quiet.

Stepping into the stadium, ignoring the whistling wind and sand blowing off the baseball cap, Echizen squinted at the smiling opponent and put on the goggles.In such an environment, besides the heat, the biggest troubles are the dust and irregular wind that disturb the view. He plans to use the "Tezuka Field" he stole from Tezuka. The only difficulty is that the surface of the ball is covered with sand. It's not easy to control after that.Fortunately, he deliberately preserved his strength in the first set, and used all kinds of falls to give the opponent the illusion that his strength had not declined. He thought he was capable of dealing with it.

Throwing the ball, swinging the racket, the bright yellow ball pierced through the swirling sand and whizzed away, Echizen saw the slightly surprised reaction of his opponent, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and hummed proudly: "You don't think I will lose! Here you go, it's still far away!"

"It's still not far away", this sentence has become a popular one with Echizen's fame at the IWC.At this time, as soon as the original version came out, a series of similar shouts erupted from the stands, forcing his opponent's face to turn black, and he directly hit the ball back with both hands.

The ball carried more force than before, and Echizen took several steps back on the soft sand after receiving the ball before barely hitting the ball back.After going back and forth, the line of the ball gradually matched the prediction, and a smile appeared on the delicate face.But the next moment he couldn't laugh anymore, because he heard Kikumaru say something on the internal channel——

"Hey, look at the little one, does it look like a frog smiling maliciously? But the big one is even uglier, like an angry toad."

Taking advantage of the gap of catching the ball to take a closer look at the opponent, Echizen found that Kikumaru's description was quite appropriate, so he couldn't help laughing, and said naughty "quack" twice to the panting opponent who was exhausted under the control of Tezuka domain .

The blatant provocation and the hilarious laughter from the stands made the middle-aged man jump into a rage. While attacking fiercely, he rushed towards the net with all his strength.They are all masters, how could he fail to see Echizen's tricks, what he has to do now is to approach the net and disrupt the opponent's rhythm, it would be perfect if he could force Echizen to the frontcourt as well.

Because the opponent kept putting short balls, Echizen had to move forward, and beware of the tactic that everyone will use in the desert environment - dust.Hitting the ball with a backhand shot, he dashed forward for a while, with his short body sliding on the sand, his whole body leaned back and slid towards the net.

Sure enough, when the opponent's ball was about to hit the ground, the racket suddenly dropped very low, and the frame of the racket made an ear-piercing sound as it rubbed against the sand grains. When the ball was swung, a large amount of dust was raised, and the ball and the sand all swung forward.

"I knew you would use such an old-fashioned trick a long time ago, and it's still far away!" Leaping high in the overwhelming sand and dust, Echizen smiled brightly, and with his excellent dynamic vision, he caught the bright yellow. Swipe the ball firmly to the opponent's backcourt, and roll out of the court after pressing the line.Maybe it was because he laughed so wildly that after landing, Echizen wrinkled his face, kept spitting the sand in his mouth, and finally had to take the initiative to call a timeout and go outside the court to rinse his mouth.

"Have you noticed that Echizen's arrogance is very similar to Atobe's? I hate him so much that I want to beat him up."

"Who will be with Monkey Mountain King/This little ghost!" After hearing Momoshiro's speech, Echizen and Atobe shouted in the internal channel almost at the same time, and compared to Echizen who had to be calm on the court, Atobe jumped immediately Got up and yelled and cursed Echizen in the stands and acted like a mob.

Silently staring at Atobe for a while, Echizen turned his head away, planning to wait for a quick decision so that he could enter the ultimate contest in the last set.

Throughout the second set, although Echizen did not show an overwhelming advantage, his dexterous and agile movements and his extreme use of the sandy environment gave him an undisputed victory, and the audience's support for him also showed an overwhelming situation .Therefore, even though his winning odds are constantly decreasing, the number of people who buy him to win is still increasing. The injection of large sums of money made the manipulator behind the game smile and even actively contacted him during the break of the second set. They told him that he was an acting genius, and promised more benefits.

Of course, some people expressed concern, because the IWC final competition system determines that the system will randomly select the court environment for the first two games, and the third game will be decided by the winner after the two contestants draw lots.Standing in the middle of the court, Echizen looked at the lottery cup held by the hot swimsuit girl, and at the opponent in front of him who was more than two heads taller than him, and suddenly pursed his lips and said proudly: "You don't need to draw, you decide."

This way of giving up 50% advantage by himself made the middle-aged man overjoyed. Regardless of the audience's complaints and boos, he immediately nodded in agreement, and said loudly: "I will give you a chance to prove yourself, and I will choose the court for the first set. Let's have a good game." Bar!"

"Echizen, you're doing great, your acting talent almost surpasses Atobe's."

"No two, don't always compare me with this brat. Thanks to him, the prize money I can win is already much less. It's too arrogant!"

Sitting on the side of the court waiting to change the court environment, listening to the sound of bickering coming from the internal channel, Echizen hooked the corners of his lips, called out the dressing interface and changed into a brand new uniform, looked up in the direction where Nanjiro and Sakaki were sitting .What kind of performance, he didn't think about it at all, he just planned to get up from where he fell down.He believed that his father who insisted on forcing him to withdraw from the ATP was also looking forward to it. He was still waiting to win the championship and go to the hospital to show off to Long Ya.Even if Long Ya can't hear it, it doesn't matter.

The environment of the third set was even more exaggerated than the first one, with lightning, thunder, and heavy rain, and the green eyes were dazzling.In this game, the contestants not only have to endure the harsh weather, but also have to be alert to the harassment of tropical rainforest animals that suddenly appear.If one of these animals bites, the current ability value will be reduced by 5% in the next 30 minutes, which undoubtedly gives the opponent an excellent opportunity to fight back.Of course, everything in the stadium can be used, and these animals are no exception.

For the sake of fairness, Echizen gave up the right to draw lots and was given the qualification to serve first by the system, but he was entangled by a poisonous snake as thick as an arm as soon as he entered the court.With fast eyes and quick hands, he took out a spare ball from his pocket and stuffed it into the wide-open snake's mouth to prevent it from biting him. He tossed the ball and swung the racket very quickly, and at the same time tore off the snake and hit the opponent with the racket.

In the environment he is good at, the middle-aged man is naturally proud and arrogant, and he refuses to give up catching the ball in the face of the poisonous snake flying almost at the same time as the ball.And Echizen calculated the timing quite accurately. If the man wants to catch the ball, he must not be able to dodge the snake that comes after him, and he will definitely be bitten.

Sure enough, everything was within Echizen's calculations. When the man fought back ferociously, he also let out a roar of pain. His arm was swollen after being bitten by a snake. In addition, the first two sets consumed a lot of energy, and he couldn't even lift the racket. It seems very difficult.But Echizen's situation was not much better. The man hit a high ball, which hit the branch above his head, and blood-sucking insects like leeches rained down.Even if he dodged swiftly, one of them landed under his calf in the end, and immediately sucked the white skin tightly with its suction cup, and the shriveled body swelled up within ten seconds.

Enduring the numbness in his legs, he jumped forward to block the ball flying over his head, and did the same.When the ball flew over again, he feinted his racket and stretched his legs to catch the ball, in order to let the powerful ball smash the bugs that had no time to tear it off.Blood splashed out from the burst worm body, and was quickly washed away by the heavy rain, but under the action of the punishment mechanism, his legs were still bleeding profusely.

This is the cruelty of tennis in the world. Although the general direction follows the rules of the watch world, this ingenuity has created its unique charm. The painful expressions and scarred bodies of the players have completely inspired the fanaticism in the hearts of the audience. Hiss Shouts resounded throughout the competition area.

At the end of the battle, both the middle-aged man and Echizen faltered, and every shot was accompanied by physical pain.Fortunately, Echizen deliberately conserved his physical strength, and finally narrowly defeated the opponent by one point.

At the moment when the dust settled, the harsh environment of the stadium was cleared up and returned to the most ordinary stadium appearance. Flowers and colored paper were scattered, and the name "Carubin" appeared on the giant crystal stone pillar symbolizing the highest honor of IWC.And at that moment, Tezuka, who had been silent all the time, yelled in the internal channel: "Echizen! Get out immediately!"

Then, the slender figure of "Karubin" disappeared from the sight of the spectators frantically flocking to the stadium, and has never appeared again.

It took only a short moment to return from the inner world to the outer world. After pushing open the working cabin, Echizen staggered and rushed to the bathroom to vomit, because the appearance of those blood-sucking insects that had sucked blood on his legs gave him The visual impact is too great, and the nausea cannot be restrained.After finally vomiting, he pushed the door and walked out with weak legs and feet, and immediately saw that almost all the managers were crowded in the work room of the sports team, with bright smiles on every face.

"I told everyone, don't be in such a hurry, Echizen will definitely vomit." Smiling and leaving the crowd, Buer walked over to support Echizen with a glass of sugar water, and said softly: "Come on, Echizen, be good, drink a little to make you feel better .”

Grabbing Fuji's wrist and gulping it several times, feeling the discomfort in his stomach has improved a lot, Echizen blinked in confusion, and asked, "Seniors, what are you going to do?"

"Don't do anything, we are all here to congratulate you for winning the IWC championship!" Squeezing out from the crowd, Kikumaru grabbed Echizen's hands and shook them vigorously, and said with a smile: "You really played well, little one, Sure enough, you are still my idol!"

"Hmm...thank you..." Such a straightforward compliment made Echizen blushed unconsciously, he lowered his head and murmured his thanks, broke away from Kikumaru and walked straight to Tezuka who was standing behind the crowd.Standing still, looking up at the pitch-black phoenix eyes, he pursed his lips and said, "Senior, I did what I said."

Nodding his head slightly, with a smile of praise and emotion in his eyes, Tezuka said calmly: "Are you still planning to continue? If you want to continue, you can no longer use your current identity. The identity of the manipulator has been locked. ATP promises It will be dealt with asap."

Thinking of the shocking scene at the end, Echizen felt another twitch in his stomach, hurriedly shook his head, frowned and said, "No, I still prefer the tennis in the watch world, as long as I have time to play. Those messy settings in the back world It's too perverted, I don't like it."

Thinking that Echizen's fearful look was cute, Tezuka's lips raised slightly, and he said, "These are nothing, once you enter the adventure zone, you will understand that what you experienced today is less than one percent."

"Huh? Really?" Although he thought the scene of being covered with blood-sucking worms was disgusting, Echizen still recognized the excitement of the game. Hearing what Tezuka said, he couldn't help but start looking forward to the adventure area he had never met.His eyes lit up, he stared at his cold black eyes, and asked, "Then when can I go to the adventure area?"

"After you have laid all the foundations." After a slight pause, Tezuka looked at Echizen quietly for a while, and there was a rare smile on his calm face, and said softly: "You can start preparing for the graduation assessment of the sports group. Yes, Echizen. The assessment will be divided into two parts: the outer world and the inner world, and I will tell you the details, so prepare well."

This remark was undoubtedly a recognition of the hard work these days, Echizen was very happy to hear it, and nodded vigorously.Looking at Atobe leaning against the wall in an extremely arrogant posture, he frowned, walked over and stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it, King Monkey Mountain."

I have always felt at a loss for this kid who never played cards rationally, and this time Atobe is no exception.Looking at the hand extended to him in confusion, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Bring me something? I don't owe you anything, right?"

"Bonuses. Didn't Senior Fuji say that you bought all your belongings and won me? You must have earned a lot." Looking at the dark blue eyes that gradually widened due to astonishment, Echizen couldn't help laughing and said: "Treat me!" Come on, Monkey Mountain King, please seniors have a good meal."

Looking back at the clear and beautiful amber cat eyes, the corners of his lips twitched for a while, but finally he smiled involuntarily.Vigorously messing up Echizen's hair, under the dissatisfied stare, he laughed and said: "Okay, for the sake of your being recognized by me for the time being, I will treat you to dinner. Tell me, what do you want to eat? Go where to eat?"

Looking at Tezuka, then at Atobe, Echizen lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "Didn't you say that we should not go out? Or you can pay for it, and please Tezuka-senpai and Marui-senpai to do it." After speaking, he turned his eyes to Tezuka and Marui asked softly, "Is it okay?"

Looking at each other, Marui rushed over and hugged this junior who recognized his craftsmanship, squinted and smiled: "No problem, just tell me what dessert Echizen wants to eat, and senior will make it for you."

Unable to refuse Echizen's rare request, Tezuka said: "Then, I will draw up a list of the ingredients you need, and I ask you to arrange the purchase, Atobe."

Smiling proudly in return, Atobe raised his hand and lightly brushed the tear mole at the corner of his eye, squinted his eyes for a long time and stared at Echizen who rarely showed a bright smile, and hummed: "Don't worry, I will definitely arrange the best ingredients, you just wait for a meal Alright, kid. I will treat it as a reward for your wonderful match for my uncle."
