[Comprehensive] The Light Chaser

"The match between the German team and the Japanese team is about to begin!"

The Australian Center Tennis Court, the opening game of the World Cup, started amidst the much-anticipated attention.

"The following is the German team that has won the U17 World Cup for nine consecutive times!"

The very provocative host introduced the players of both sides with a high tone, while the modifiers for the German team were filled with endless praise.Even someone like Kirihara, whose English is so bad, could hear something from the host's tone.

"Is the German team very good?" He dissatisfied, "Praise them like that."

"Didn't you participate in the meeting yesterday?" Sanada frowned at him, "Too lax!"

Kirihara: "..."

Deputy Minister, do you want to dismantle my TV when you go abroad?

The German team played to the cheers of the audience.The cheering sound from the full auditorium was deafening, as if this was the home stadium of the German team.

Even the voices of the audience overshadowed the words of the host.

"The next one to play is the Japanese team!"

How does it feel to be on stage amid the cheers of others?

"No one cares about the Japanese team." Dashi said with a dry smile.

Niwang walked beside him, and patted him on the shoulder smoothly: "Relax."

It is the first time for junior high school students to participate in such a grand competition, but everyone's reaction is different. There are also those who are reflexively nervous like Oishi, and some who are like Nioh who have no reaction. Of course, there are Atobe and Sanada couldn't help showing an eager expression like that.

Kirihara almost treats this scene as a large-scale game copy.

He quickly turned his attention from the audience to the German team next to him.

"Wow! Could that person be a professional player Borg?!" He raised his finger and pointed at a bald-headed player, "It's a real person!"

Seeing Kirihara like this with a smile, Yukimura raised his hand to stop Sanada's throat-chilling roar.

He leaned against the wall of the rest area: "I heard that even professional players can participate in the competition as long as they are under the age of 17. It is said that the German team has four professional players participating in the competition this time, and two of them are still participating in competitions in Europe." , while the other two came from Europe to join their teammates to participate in the opening game. No wonder players from all over the world came to scout the game.”

It was rare for him to talk, and Kirihara opened his eyes wide and listened very carefully.

Seeing Kirihara's expression, Sanada felt a little annoyed.

He also set his sights on the position of the German team, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he saw a person: "That player from the German team looks a lot like Tezuka."

Atobe snorted, "That's me."

"Yeah, looking at that annoying face, you can basically confirm that it's him!" Kirate said.

Oishi seemed to have just recovered from the shock of the audience. He turned his head when he heard Tezuka's name: "Ah, yes! I forgot to mention it yesterday. I'm really surprised. Tezuka seems to be a player of the German team."

"Why didn't you say such a thing earlier!"

"Oshi, you did a good job!"

"Egghead, you are too slow..."

In the discussion, Nioh had already appeared beside Yukimura.

He sat down next to Yukimura, but looked at Sanada and Atobe with the expression "Tezuka and we are fateful opponents".

Why are those two still obsessed with Tezuka?

Haven't you already defeated others?

Not just the two of them!

King Ni saw Fuji's expression again.

There was enthusiasm and desire in the smile, and the fighting spirit overflowed from him.This is really rare.

"Are you so laid back?" Yukimura didn't turn his head, his tone was gentle.

Nioh sneered: "It's not my turn to play in this game, right?"

"Did you guess the order of appearance again?"

"No, no. But..." Niwang tilted his head, "Intuition, I don't have a share in this game."

Soon the first doubles game began.

Fuji and Duke played.

With the mood of challenging Tatsuka, Fuji became serious at the beginning of the game.

Serious genius, to what extent?

And to what extent can Duke, who was once known as the "King of Destruction", do it?

Not just defense, new attack skills.

If Fuji had already had this attitude in the Kanto competition, he would not have won so easily.

However, even if Fuji had reached such a level at that time, the white fox would definitely try to make him surpass him.In the short year of getting along with each other, there is only one person who shows an abnormal attitude to the white fox.

In other words, leaving aside the mention of the teammates for the time being, the white fox only expressed the obvious meaning of "you must defeat him, and you must defeat him with a big score without any suspense" to Buer.

What the hell happened?

Nioh did not delve into this issue.

He thought about it for a while and put it aside.

Because of that game, the relationship between him and Fuji was a bit awkward, for both parties.The minister next to him gets along well with Fuji, but as for him...

"Tell me, they all look at Tezuka differently. Fuji, Sanada and Atobe don't have a particularly good relationship?" Nioh said.

It doesn't look like a question, the content even seems to be a complaint.

Yukimura froze for a moment when he heard such words.

He turned his head to the side, and saw that Nio's expression didn't seem to be concentrating on the game, but seemed to be distracted.

"...What are you thinking?" He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

King Ren curled his lips: "It's nothing, just a small question."

Yukimura smiled and shook his head: "Since you asked this question, why don't you think about it from another angle? If you have special feelings for the same person, then they are almost equivalent to 'rivals in love', and how can they have a good relationship."

"It makes sense, puri~"

When Fuji began to show off, Duke also became serious.

His strength is undoubtedly the pinnacle.And following Byodoin for two years, he seemed to have restrained a lot of his edge, but in fact he also took this opportunity to sharpen his state of mind and skills.

Everyone said he was self-destructing by quitting the French team and joining the Japanese team.

but……

Duke remembered the scene two years ago.

His heartbeat almost stopped when the roof collapsed, but the boy he met by chance knew clearly that he was their opponent, but he still did his best to protect his sister who had only met him once.

He even dragged his injured body and continued to participate in the game.

Such a bloody game.

No, it wasn't bloody, but it made him fall into a confrontation between emotion and reason.

He was clearly injured to protect his most important person, yet he had no choice but to...

After he came to Japan later, the Byodoin Institute said that you don't have to do this. I didn't do that out of good intentions.

And he even personally experienced the accusations against Byodoin by other members of the Japanese team at the beginning.

Why?

What does he want?

Boss obviously...

Duke thought, the boss is obviously gentler than anyone else, yet everyone regards him as a devil.This world...

But the boss' wish, I want to make it come true for him!

This is what I owe him!

"Gamewonby Duke Fuji, 7-5!"

"The first doubles match, the Japanese team won!"

The two people with extraordinary determination, obviously they are partners for the first time, but their minds resonate on a certain frequency.

In this way, they defeated the German team's first group of doubles with a thunderous offensive.

In the opening game, the outcome was determined by one game, and this game will be their victory.

Facing the defending champion German team, they got off to a good start.

The cheers of the audience suddenly weakened a little.

Byodoin looked at Duke in the arena with a calm expression but a smile in his eyes.

He listened to the fans cheering for the Japanese team and thought it would be a good place to start.

From where it left off two years ago...

"The second game begins!"

In the second doubles match, Irie and Atobe played.

On the bus, Irie said that he wanted to partner with Atobe, and when he switched positions with courts No. [-] and No. [-], Nioh also made it clear that "although you like Atobe, but I am the one who disappointed you on the court".

Atobe was in a delicate mood at the time, but he didn't expect that during the two days when he lived in the same room with Irie, he really felt the harmony between himself and this senior.

Hmph, my doubles are also extremely gorgeous!

Atobe stood on the court with such a mood.

His eyes changed when he saw his opponent.

Tezuka...

The professional players next to him couldn't attract his attention.

"To be honest, Tezuka is the most convenient object for me to use when phantom." Nioh just chatted with Yukimura on the sidelines about his "Phantom Experience Talk", "As long as it is the top player in the middle school tennis world I know something about Tezuka, and many have special feelings for him."

Fuji, who had just left the stage, happened to go to the side to get some water, and said with a smile, "So every time the phantom becomes Tezuka, is it intentional?"

"From the perspective of a left-handed person, he is really easy to use." Nioh said.

This is probably a kind of provocation, because the word "easy to use" is somewhat malicious in this context.

Fuji smiled: "I know."

Seeing that he didn't respond, Nioh couldn't help but want to continue to test: "You too, Atobe too, and Sanada, when you see Tezuka, your reaction is different from seeing others."

"So?" Fuji finished drinking half a glass of water, put down the glass, instead of getting angry, he began to discuss seriously, "Have you seriously understood the 'bond' between us and Tezuka? If not, the flaw can be seen at a glance. I can tell."

"What you want is the opening." Niwang smiled maliciously, pinching his little braid, "There is a difference between a 'phantom' and a complete imitation."

Yukimura concluded from the side: "You just want to see their reaction that they know you are not Tezuka but still can't help but think you are Tezuka."

"None of them would really think of me as Tezuka." Nioh said.

Bu Er smiled and said nothing, acquiesced.

They didn't chat for long on the topic.

Because soon, Buer pointed to the field: "Then it's a reminder from me that your data should be updated."

"I'm not a data tennis player." Nioh complained half-truthfully.

He looked into the arena.

The form is too obvious.

Even standing next to a professional player, Tezuka showed his full strength.

"I'm going to lose." Yukimura said, "It's too ugly."

Nioh secretly snapped his tongue, thinking that Yukimura was too rude.

But a sentence from the field made his face change.

"What's the matter, Atobe? How long do you want to kneel on the ground?"

Is this what Tezuka said?What did Tezuka Kunimitsu say?

Niwang laughed.

He thought, after leaving Japan, Tezuka, who seemed to have taken off some shackles, became more interesting than before.
