[Comprehensive] The Light Chaser

There is a community-run distance between the two courts.

Yukimura was wearing a coat with a smile on his face, but Nioh clearly felt that there was a turbulent aura hidden in his cloak blowing in the wind.

What's wrong?The match between Atobe and Sanada... these two people have competed so many times, even if the timing is wrong, Yukimura will not be so angry, right?With that in mind, Nioh followed Yukimura's footsteps without any hesitation.

And Yukimura, who is very familiar with his childhood, has already straightened out the cause and process of the whole game.

He even predicted the situation of the game.

There was some coldness in his smile.

Turn a corner and the tennis court is in front of you.

The mental power of Atobe and Sanada collided fiercely, overflowing the court.

King Ren's eyes moved.

ice.

He saw lots and lots of ice covering the entire tennis court.And with Sanada's swing, an ice pick suddenly dropped somewhere beside him.

Snapped!

The tennis ball pierced the air, passing the sharp point of the ice pick without a single error.

"That's it." Yukimura said.

Atobe stood up straight, looking sideways with sharp eyes.He and Yukimura met their gazes, and lightning exploded in the air instantly.Then he snorted: "Why, the game is not over yet."

Yukimura ignored him, but turned his attention directly to Sanada: "I remember that your job is to supervise the training of non-school team members. Now? What are you doing?"

Sanada frowned and stood up straight.He didn't say anything, but raised his hand to straighten his hat, and turned around directly.

Atobe turned his head dissatisfied: "Sanada, our game is not over yet."

"Your goal has been achieved." Yukimura said, "Atobe, this is Tachikai University, please stop in moderation."

Atobe watched Sanada walk out of the field and clicked his tongue.

He lifted the hood of his hoodie with his hand, his golden hair fluttered under his palm, and the rain fell on it, revealing his majesty as the emperor of the Ice Emperor.

He raised his eyebrows: "It's really strict, Yukimura."

Atobe went to the outside of the court to pack his tennis bag, walked out of the court and passed by Yukimura and said thank you.

He paused when he crossed paths with Nioh, who was one step behind.

The pause was very short, and only Nioh who received Atobe's eyes vaguely felt something.

And when Atobe disappeared at the end of the road, and the reserve players who had been silent at the side of the court resumed practice, and Sanada also resumed instructing training, Yukimura turned around and said, "I'm going back."

"Puri."

"You and Atobe, do you have a little secret?"

"Don't wrong me, Minister." Nioh walked half a step faster and caught up with Yukimura, "I don't know Atobe well. Sanada knows him well."

Yukimura smiled and shook his head: "Let's just treat it like this."

Nioh: What does it mean to treat it like this?I really don't know Atobe!unfamiliar!unfamiliar! ...While we may double play in the not-too-distant future, we definitely don't know each other right now!

The next day, Li Haida's opponent was Liu Liqiu.

This is a game without suspense.Facing the opponents who were once brazen, Li Hai severely taught them what it means to be a "king".

"I'm sorry, it's true that the Ice Emperor is Waterloo, but we have a large sea, and we haven't reached the point where any weird person can talk about it." Liu Sheng said lightly.

He rarely used such straightforward and sharp words.Although the tone was still gentle, the opponent showed an expression of suffocation.

Only the team once said "Ice Emperor has fallen, even though Rikkai won, but it's about to die", and "Even fighting against opponents like Seigaku has spent so much effort, and Tezuka Kunimitsu is still Seigaku without Tezuka Kunimitsu" The two people who spoke in this way looked at each other with guilty expressions.

In the third round, Li Haida's opponent was Dou.

At the same time, they also learned that in the second half, Bingdi and Qingxue faced off again in the third round.

"Let's end the game early." Yukimura said, "Go and see what Atobe has practiced."

Qingxue and Bingdi had just reached the doubles two when Lihai University ended the match.In fact, Hiyoshi's strength has improved a lot, but those improvements are all in singles. Cooperating with Xiangri, who is playing doubles for the first time, it always gives people a feeling of depression that he still has strength but cannot show it.As for Qian and Haitang, since Qingxue lost in the final of the Kanto Competition, it can be said that they have practiced crazily.Not just singles, but also doubles.

Kaido was originally a person with great endurance and perseverance, and he also received special care from Tezuka who returned from Germany (now the Qinggaku people have almost acquiesced that Kaitang will be the next minister).And Gan, the result of the match with Liu was enough for him to learn from it.

On the tenth ball of the tie-break, there was a sudden commotion in the auditorium.

There was a wind blowing in the venue, and the light dimmed, as if a storm was about to come.

Such an atmosphere seems to indicate that something is about to appear.

At first, the people in the last row of the auditorium accidentally turned their heads, and then the entire auditorium began to discuss.

"Li Haida is here!"

"What?! Is their game over?!"

"how is this possible?!"

With such discussions, Yukimura led the team and appeared on the high platform in the last row of the auditorium.

Atobe in the preparation area snorted and snapped his fingers.After a while, a person in Hyotei's school uniform trotted up: "Senior Yukimura, the minister asked me to come..."

"Leading the way?" Yukimura glanced at the auditorium not far from the vacant Hyotei preparation area, and raised his lips.

At one point, the audience gasped as they walked through the auditorium.So much so that the pace of the game on the court was half a beat slower.

"Hiss—" Haitang clenched his racket, "Li Haida——"

"Lian Er..." Er Gan couldn't help but look at the straight boy in Li Haida's team.

The arrival of Li Haida naturally brought changes to the game on the field.

Like dry.

His whole body was about to burn, and there was still a little blackness behind him.Nioh could even read the sadness from the black air.He turned his head and glanced at the expression of Liu who was two places away.Their staff officer was still calm, with a notebook in his hand.

...doesn't matter?

"People in Qingxue have made great progress." Marui said.

Nioh heard Marui's complicated mood from this sentence.He hummed and glanced at Hiji who was struggling to resist.

When the doubles match becomes one-on-two, and the one does not have the strength of at least two levels higher... then the result is already set.

"Gamewonby Youth Academy, Sadaharu Mikami, Kaoru Kaido, 7-6!"

Gan looked at Liu as he walked off the stage.

His gaze was direct and intense enough, so everyone in Lihai University knew who he was looking at.

But Liu still flipped through the notebook calmly under such gaze.Only the notebook he turned over was no longer so flat, but slightly wrinkled due to the force of his hands.

"The second singles match will start now. Youth Academy, Tezuka Kunimitsu, vs. Hyotei Academy, Takahiro Kawaji. Please get ready."

The radio broadcast the referee's voice.

Then the auditorium exploded after a brief silence.

"Tezuka?! That Tezuka?!"

"how is this possible?!"

"That's Tezuka who has returned to the top!"

……

Back to the top?

Sanada folded her arms and sneered after hearing this comment.

Also making the same move was Atobe at the ice emperor's preparation seat.

Yukimura saw the reaction of the two people in his eyes, on the surface he was calm, but in fact his mood was very subtle.

Li Haida no longer went to watch the match the day before with much fanfare.But Sanada still went, and Liu also followed in order to collect information.At that time, Seigaku's opponent was Higa Chu, who won the Kyushu Championship.Their opponent is Shizi Le, and in view of the obvious decline in strength of Shizi Le over the past year, Liu did not give them a high evaluation.

But after watching the game, Liu's evaluation changed.He also held a small meeting with the candidates.

"Did Higa lose?" Marui was puzzled at the time, "Since we lost, do we need to pay extra attention?"

"Based on their strength, in the U17 training camp in a few months later, without accident, they will emerge." Liu said, "especially their minister, Eishiro Kite. He fought Tezuka 6-4. Yes. Tezuka used the 'extreme perfection'."

"But I heard that he used some despicable tricks." Marui frowned, "Does this mean that 6-4 is not genuine?"

Liu shook his head lightly: "It's wrong. That kind of trick is not as good as Chiya's knuckle serve, at best it's a small hobby in playing. It's nothing compared to other schools in the Kansai department."

"But I hear they play coaches. The old man in the hex—"

"They also beat their own coaches." Liu said lightly, "I don't comment on the character of people I don't know well. But just from the level of tennis, his strength is at the same level as Sanada."

Sanada snorted dissatisfiedly: "Who are you talking about?! I won't lose to Tezuka in such embarrassment!"

"Okay." Liu Congshan changed his rhetoric rationally, "From the perspective of tennis strength, Mr. Mushou's strength is comparable to..."

Liu hesitated for a moment, his eyes drifted past Nioh, then Sanada, directly skipped Yukimura, and finally thought about himself.

Then he changed the reference object.

"Stronger than Shinobu?"

"Why are you using such an uncertain tone?" Nioh complained, "Kote is at least Higachu's minister, right? Higachu is the champion of the Kyushu Competition, right? If you want to compare, you should also compare Atobe horizontally."

"But after Atobe's move is completed, I can't assess his exact strength at present." Liu said.

Marui wrinkled his face and thought for a while, then raised his hand and asked, "How about compared to Shiraishi?"

"Good question." Liu said calmly, "But Baishi didn't have many opportunities to play this year, and schools outside Kanto didn't participate in the training camp, so I can't evaluate it."

Nioh: "...Advisor, is your data tennis going to be upgraded? It's a good thing to do it in front of us. If you want others, such as the hedgehog from Qingxue, to know that you can't evaluate anything, then he is dreaming. wake up laughing."

The corner of Liu's mouth curled up in a slight and cold arc: "King Ni."

Although he sensed the warning in Liu's words, Nioh, who had no intention of stopping at all, said in a serious but joking tone: "Consultant, why don't you try another tool for analyzing and collecting data? The notebook is too primitive, and it was launched at the beginning of the year." The tablet feels good to use."

willow:"……"

He sighed, "You really pay attention to electronic products."

"Technology changes the world, Adviser~" Nioh said.

Under Nioh's gag, the original topic of discussion naturally shifted to a thousand miles away.Discussions about Kite and Tezuka have come to nothing.

After all, Yukimura is happy with this: he doesn't want Li Kai to be with Tezuka Tezuka all day long.

At this time, Tezuka, who played in the second singles, was facing Kawachi from the second year of junior high school...

"Atobe has special considerations?" Liu frowned. "Did he deliberately let Huachi face Tezuka? Or was Huadi an opponent he prepared for others?"

This answer can only be found in the game.

And soon, they also understood the reason why Atobe arranged the order of appearance in this way.

"Copy." Yukimura laughed, "Nio, compared to your phantom, the effect is almost the same."

Nioh: "..."

"Don't be kidding." King Ren said helplessly, "The principle is too different."

"The effect is the same." Liu continued, "But judging from the situation on the field, Huadi like this is more shocking than your 'Phantom'?"

"How is it possible?" Nioh was very confident, "I changed my body and face at the same time."

Marui was very speechless after listening to these chats: "Enough is enough for you. There is nothing to discuss about this. Why don't you think about whether this arrangement by the Atobu is useful."

Nioh shrugged: "Of course it is useful. Everyone's biggest enemy is himself. But Huadi's five-dimensional is far worse than Tezuka's. Why don't you just rely on 'copying' to defeat Tezuka? It is said that Atobe chose to use Tezuka to temper Huachi."

Yukimura nodded in agreement.He sighed: "Ice Emperor's second year student... Kirihara, don't lose next year."

"What?! How could I lose?!" Kirihara was about to explode, "Seniors, don't underestimate me!"

As spectators, Lihai people watched the game with a relaxed mood, but the atmosphere of Bingdi sitting not far from them was much more serious.

Can Birch win?

This move...

Regardless of the outcome of the game, the advantages of this game must outweigh the disadvantages.Atobe thought so, raised his hand and pressed it between his eyebrows.

It rained harder and harder.

But the game on the court continued.

Yagyu and Kuwahara, who had umbrellas, held up umbrellas, but the two umbrellas obviously couldn't take care of all the main candidates.

Yagyu handed the umbrella to Yukimura.

"...Thank you." Yukimura was a little surprised.

The organizing committee of the league quickly made a response. The game was temporarily suspended, and all the audience left the field to decide the progress of the game according to the situation.

Even if I held up an umbrella in time, it was raining too hard and the wind was howling, so there was no difference between using an umbrella or not.

The reserved bus was parked outside the tennis park, and Li Haida's group got on the bus.Sports teenagers also carry a change of clothes in their tennis bags.I wiped my hair with a towel and changed my clothes. I don't need to worry about being boys.

The rain was beating on the car window, deafeningly.Liu glanced at the sky, turned around and asked Yukimura worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Yukimura said helplessly, "I'm holding an umbrella."

"Could catch a cold," Liu said, "and your immune system..."

"I'm cured." Yukimura said slightly serious.

Liu didn't refute anymore, but just lowered his head and rummaged through his tennis bag, and after a while, he found a bag of ginger slices from the bag.In the shocked expressions of the others, he asked the driver uncle to pick up the hot water bottle, and found a clean sports bottle to soak in ginger water.He handed the water glass to Yukimura, with regret on his face: "This is the only one. Actually, it doesn't have much effect, but it might be better if you drink it hot."

Yukimura: "..."

He couldn't laugh or cry: "Thank you."

They stayed in the bus for more than an hour before the rain gradually weakened.The bus gradually quieted down, Kirihara fell asleep leaning against the window, Marui took out the game console he brought and started playing games, while Yagyu listened to music and read e-books on MP4, and Liu was sorting out his notes.

Yukimura and Sanada were discussing something in a low voice, Sang principle looked at Kirihara and Marui at the same time.

Nioh sat in the back row and used his mobile phone to contact Honmaru to learn about the recent situation of Honmaru in the dungeon.It is said that the 99th floor has been opened this time, and there is a greater possibility of finding rare knives.However, Honmaru already has a gross profit, so everyone just regards the activity as a daily exercise program, changing the team regularly every day, and saving some small judgments for Honmaru.

As a "minor god judge", Nioh can only watch it, and the two-hour time limit is really very harsh.

He also walked around the store of the Government of Time, but still could only see a large black page.

In the first few pages, however, smartphones and tablets are unlocked.

Nioh glanced at the Koshu gold needed for exchange.Very cheap.It's a pity that due to the limitations of the times, he can't exchange Jiazhou gold with the currency in circulation in this era, and naturally he can't use Jiazhou gold to buy electronic products.

Tsk, might as well not open a store.Whether you can see it or not, it arouses the desire in people's hearts, which is really very uncomfortable.

Nioh thought, and simply withdrew from the software of the Government of Time.

The game did not resume until after lunch.

After restarting the game, Tezuka's performance suddenly became smoother.

He seemed to have opened up some knots in his heart, and he seemed to have simply figured out something.

He beat Huadi as everyone expected.

After that, the doubles match began.

Ho and Shishido fight against Kikumaru and Oishi.

There wasn't much to say about the first half of the game.The spectators who had experienced a heavy rain were a little tired, and many people had already gone back. Li Hai stayed where he was, most likely just to wait for the Atobe match.

But in the second half of the game, when Kikumaru and Oishi suddenly entered the realm of synchronization...

King Ren's expression remained unchanged, but the aura around him sank a bit.

Marui frowned and looked at the two balls, turned his head with a heavy heart and wanted to tease something, but saw Nioh's expression but didn't say anything.

And Liu Sheng didn't say a word.

After the synchronization, Kikumaru and Oishi, who were lagging far behind, quickly caught up.

The effect of this move was immediate, and the atmosphere in the doubles team became increasingly heavy under such a rapidly changing situation.

On the last ball, Kikumaru and Oishi stopped suddenly.

The game ended, Feng and Shishido's victory.

Seeing this, Marui breathed a sigh of relief: "Synchronization is not invincible."

"No, it's just the opposite." King Ren took a deep breath, raised his lips and smiled, "It's because they can't control the coherence, just like people who have just entered the realm of selflessness. Once they can control..."

"Don't be too alarmist, King Ni."

"Puri."

Nioh didn't say anything, just waited to see the next game.

The match between Atobe and Echizen was so fierce that everyone watching the match was moved.

Using Atobe from "The World of Ice", and Echizen who has entered the "Non-Self Realm".

And even more than that.

Nio's doubts were finally proved. Atobe, who had been in contact with that world, keenly felt that there was another kind of power in the world.He is trying to develop this power, but he has not succeeded yet, but he has achieved some results.Depending on the situation, Nioh felt that Atobe might get results before Hiyoshi.

And what about Echizen?

Echizen's Selfless Realm can already be used together with the two realms.His improvement is also evident.And probably because he has experienced the feeling of being controlled by mental power, he is much calmer than before, and he is more comfortable controlling the rhythm of the game.

They even used "shaved head" as a bet.

The game was played from day to dark.The venue lights came on.

The score of the tie-break continued to rise alternately.

The wind was a bit strong, and the lights on the side of the stadium were shaking in the wind.

boom!

Probably at the critical point, the high-hanging lamp suddenly fell down, and at the same time, Echizen hit a ball as if he had exhausted all his strength.

"what!"

After he swung his racket, he staggered and fell to the ground as if he couldn't support it.

The lamp fell in the field.Atobe also fell to the ground together.

Everyone in Ice Empress stood up: "Minister!"

One second, two seconds, ..., nine seconds.

Both sides are calling their teammates' names and telling them to stand up.

Atobe stood up first.

however--

"If you lose consciousness, do you want to rule the world?"

When Echizen stood up and hit the last ball, everyone's hearts were clenched and then loosened.

The game, the dust settled.

Li Hai left the scene when Echizen actually went to shave his hair.

They knew that Atobe was a man who kept his word, and the Atobe they saw tomorrow must have changed his hairstyle.But the result of this game still made them feel complicated.

Atobe's strength is really strong.

He's improving and he's going fast.

But he still lost to Echizen Ryoma.

Echizen Minamijiro's heir?

"That kid..." Sanada clenched his fists, "Atobe..."

Yukimura didn't speak.

He felt the change in the atmosphere in the team.

Qing Xue?

Everyone in this school is indeed making progress.But who isn't?

They stand tall and will not be afraid of any opponent!And an opponent with enough weight is what makes people happy, isn't it? !

"The opponent in this final, no accident, is Seigaku." Yukimura said, "But before that, we still need to defeat Nagoya Xingtoku. Don't let this game affect the next state."

"Don't worry, Yukimura. We have a large sea, and there are no dead ends!" Sanada said loudly.
