[Comprehensive] The Light Chaser

Nioh walked into the shrine.

The miko standing in front of him was wearing a white miko costume. She looked to be in her 20s, with a calm and gentle demeanor.

She made a welcoming gesture to King Ni: "Please come with me."

She guided Nioh to the direction of the inner room, stepping on the flat gravel path in the front yard.

Seeing King Ren watching Byodoin's back gradually going away, she showed an apologetic expression: "Mr. Byodoin has a bit of a temper."

King Ni followed the witch to the shrine: "He is also here..."

Speaking of which, the girl at the shrine is called Miko, but what is the name of the boy at the shrine, Miko?

"Ah, Lord Byodoin is one of the successors of the owner of the nearby Byodoin Shrine, and he is now practicing here with us." The maiden explained, "Actually, your questions, guests, can be better answered at the Byodoin Shrine."

"You know me?"

"God has already given me guidance." There was a sense of mystery in the witch's smile.She opened the door of the tea room in the side hall of the shrine: "Sit down and have a cup of tea first."

In the clean and simple tea room, there are soft cushions laid on the wooden floor, and there are tea trays on the low bamboo table.Nioh knelt and waited for the witch to make tea.

The adjacent window was opened, and the wind with hot air came in, and the bamboo window blocked the air together with the hot air.

Nioh heard the sound of hitting the ball, rhythmic, very familiar, one after another.

The shrine maiden was meticulously boiling the water, while Nioh was listening to the sound of a boy called "Byodo-in Temple", probably "Senior", hitting a ball.

The sound is muffled, it should be on the ground, it may be uneven dirt.

This reminded Nioh of Tokimura and Yanagi's vision in Hakone two months ago.

Although it was rejected, the eight of them have tried, and they really can't play on that kind of ground.

What about the Byodoin Court?

Nioh thought of the arrogant stance of the blond boy at the door.

Although he didn't want to admit it, maybe the House of Equality could really do it.

What's the big deal, he looks a few years older than me.Our country was able to do it in the third year, and Byodoin was still a high school student—a high school student, right?

"Awaited."

Nioh blinked, and reached out to accept the tea served by the witch.

He wasn't particularly familiar with etiquette, but surprisingly the miko didn't mind.

But is the shrine such an approachable place?Shouldn't the status of a miko be very high?

"You should know that our shrine enshrines Inari God." The witch said with a smile, "You have the power of Inari God, but you don't know how to use them yet."

"...Inari God's power?" King Ni opened his eyes wide. "Before, people said that I have the power of stars."

The Miko's expression froze for a moment: "'Star See'?...No...huh?"

She looked at Nioh carefully for a while, and then said with a sigh: "I'm really ashamed, I can't see all the facts with my ability. But you have great potential that can be tapped."

"That's why I came here," Nioh said, "My ability..."

"If it's your ability, you will know how to control it yourself."

Nioh thought I didn't intend to control it.

"How do I use it?" he asked.

The witch smiled and said, "Follow your heart."

Nioh:?Was the shrine originally such an idealistic place?

"If you want to learn the basic use of spiritual power, then the place that can teach you has already sent you an invitation." The witch said.

Nioh remembered the so-called government of time.

It should be really sincere to invite you again and again?

"I see, thank you."

After saluting, he finished the cup of tea, hesitated for a while before going out, and decided to satisfy his curiosity.

He walked to the place where the sound of hitting the ball kept coming.

After going around the shrine's columns and walking a short distance, what appeared in front of him was a very crude court.

It is not even appropriate to say that it is a field, but the boundary of the field is drawn with white lines on the road where dirt and stones intersect.At the center line are two small trees that have not yet grown up, only one and a half tall, and an old ball net is pulled.

The boy who stopped him at the door just now had half-long golden curly hair (Nio thinks that the hairstyle is very similar to his own, even the hairband is the same style), holding a racket and running on the rough court.

His aura was extraordinarily calm, yet with a domineering aura that couldn't be ignored.Judging from the national competitions that Nioh has personally experienced, no one has his level (after all, Lihai is the strongest).

This boy named Byodoin is stronger than Sanada.

Nioh can draw this conclusion.

He is too familiar with Sanada's tricks, so far he is most familiar with Sanada's tricks in the tennis club.It's sort of a disqualification, since his partner is Yagyu.So he has been reflecting on this recently.

What about Yukimura?

How will he compare with Yukimura?

Nioh didn't know, he had never fought Yukimura.Or maybe they had a practice match, but obviously Yukimura didn't take it too seriously.

The tennis ball hit a pebble on the ground.

But the change of its ball path was obviously within the control of the blond boy. He even only took two steps before catching the ball bouncing back from the opposite wall.

how did you do that?

Besides, the wall is more than one meter away from the bottom line, and the ball can bounce back and hit the bottom line here. His control of strength...

Nioh unconsciously stopped breathing.

Then Byodoin turned the racket and closed it.

He stood up straight and let the tennis ball bounce naturally on the racket.

Then he turned around and glanced at Nioh with an expression half contemptuous half proud.

He reached out, grabbed the tennis ball, gave it a firm grip, and tossed it into the air.

In the standard serving posture, the muscles on the exposed arms slightly bulge when charging.

Then he squatted, jumped up, swung his arms, and swung his racket.

Snapped!

Nioh's eyes suddenly widened.

He took a deep breath.

coming soon!

He winced uncontrollably as the tennis ball flew past his cheek, and then he reached out and touched his cheek.

Just now……

How many balls is that?

Two, or three?

How could tennis become several?

Or are some balls spiritual power?

He turned his head, and when the tennis ball hit the ground, there was only one ball mark.

But just now, both of his cheeks were indeed...

He withdrew his hand, his fingertips stained a little red.

bleeding.

"Hey, brat." Byodoin walked over with the racket on his shoulder.

He was ten centimeters taller than King Ni, and his physique was much stronger. He didn't mind outside the door just now, but at this moment, he saw that the pressure was really strong.

"Junior high school student?" He didn't seem to intend to get an answer after saying this word, but instead smiled contemptuously, "Look at your team uniform, Li Haida?"

"I heard that as soon as I graduated, Lihai University won the national championship." He snorted, "But you'd better understand that tennis is not just about playing games."

Nioh opened his mouth and found his own voice: "You haven't watched my game, how do you know our tennis is just a play?"

"That's why, brat, you're too tender." Byodoin moved a little closer, almost touching King Ni.He lowered his head: "The look in your eyes just now is very clear."

The King was silent.

He couldn't refute.

"Forget it." Byodoin stared at him for a while, seemed not to get the desired response, so he took a step in a dispirited manner.

He swung the racket down, and when he stopped, he just pointed at the tip of Nio's nose, the distance was no more than two millimeters: "You also have spiritual power, right? You came here for that, right? Then grow up quickly."

Nioh: "...?"

He doesn't think this person is enthusiastic and likes to cultivate the temper of the younger generation.

And Byodoin laughed flamboyantly, like a shark with its bloody mouth open: "Next year, the U17 training camp will recruit junior high school students. The international U17 competition has been discussing the addition of junior high school seats since last year, but this year it is estimated that It's too late. If you can stand in front of me one day... I haven't seen someone like you playing tennis in too long."

Someone like me?

Someone with spiritual power?

No, it shouldn't be. Everyone has spiritual power, it's just the difference between more and less. At least Nioh believes that the grass he saw on Sanada's sword Shiraishi is the embodiment of his own spiritual power.

Is that a person who realizes that he has spiritual power, and can subjectively use spiritual power to do something else?

Nioh looked at Byodoin Temple.

He thought this person was very strange, and he was a little wishful thinking: "Are you so sure that junior high school students will definitely be selected for selection next year?"

On this occasion, he doesn't even feel that being called up to the U17 is a happy thing.

"I naturally have my way." Byodoin said.

He turned around, took out another tennis ball from the basket next to him, and ignored Nioh.

Nioh watched him play tennis for a while, but in the end he was still unable to make an accurate judgment on his level.

This is because my strength is still far from this level, Nioh thought.

He clenched his fist unconsciously.

The alarm clock set in advance on the mobile phone rang, it was for him to rush back to Osaka to take the school bus.

King Ren hastily pressed the phone and looked up: "Well, what's your name?"

"Phoenix of Byodoin Temple." The blond boy was still swinging his racket, "Idiot with no manners, you have to call me senior."

You belong to Muzhiteng, not Lihaida.

Nioh thought.

He dragged out a long voice: "Okay, goodbye senior."

Very obedient.

He went back the same way and walked out of the gate of the shrine. The witch stood at the door and smiled at him and opened the door for him.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he went out, and touched the scabbed scratches on his face.

Will that guy hit me with a ball if he disagrees?

Nioh really felt that Byodoin would hit him with a ball.

He thought of the Qiang on the opposite side of the court, every time the ball hit, a little bit of wall dust fell off, and there were cracks like spider webs where the ball print was particularly deep.

If you get hit by that person with the ball, you might end up in the hospital.

Nioh thought so, touched the tennis bag behind him, and felt that the lethality of tennis was probably stronger than his imagination.

He has a good memory, took the bus that came just now, and changed the train back to Osaka.The time card was just right, just in time for the assembly time.On the way, I bought myself a loaf of bread.

Others were already there when they arrived at the assembly point while nibbling their bread.

Marui saw him first, raised his hand in greeting, and suddenly stopped in the middle of the greeting.

He almost jumped up: "King Ren?! Where did you go? Got into a fight?!"

what?

"Puri?" King Ni showed a puzzled expression.

Marui jumped in front of him in two steps, looked at his face with goose bumps in his eyes, and reached out to touch his cheek: "This kind of injury can't be caused by a fall, right?"

Nioh: "..."

He chewed the bread in his mouth, and rolled his eyes after swallowing it: "It was hit by a tennis ball."

"Who can hit you with a tennis ball." Marui looked like you were dreaming.

Nioh looked over his head and saw Yukimura's frowning brows, and realized that he really wanted to explain clearly.

But he is telling the truth, why don't you believe it?

"Tennis, really," he said. "A high school kid."

Considering his teammates, especially those OB players from the Big Three who did not know how many schools they had overthrown, he added: "It belongs to Makino Fuji. He said his name is Byodoin Phoenix. Have you heard of it, staff? "

He went to see Liu.

Liu frowned.

After a moment of silence, Maori, who had been leaning against the bus door, suddenly stood up straight.

He took two steps and looked at King Ni with a strange look: "Have you seen Byodoin-san?"

"Senior, do you know him?" Liu asked.

He opened his notebook.

Mao Li turned his head and glanced at Liu, and replied, "Yes."

He suddenly smiled, and looked at Yukimura with complicated eyes when he smiled: "Makizhito's three consecutive championships were completed under the leadership of Byodoin-san. Yukimura, you are walking, he has already passed by way."

In an instant, Yukimura's expression changed.

The aura of being called the "Son of God" was fully exposed.

Mao Li ignored him, and instead turned around to face King Ni: "Did you offend him?"

"No, you won't be safe if you mess with him." He shook his head again and denied it.

Marui pointed at King Ni's face speechlessly: "Is this safe and sound?"

"Ha." Mao Li smiled sarcastically, "I remember that the barriers between junior high school and elementary school were not so severe, haven't you heard of it? Byodoin-san's reputation back then was even better than Shiraku's pair of doubles." notorious'."

He bit the words and used adjectives that he wouldn't normally use in conversation.

Liu hesitated for a while after hearing this, and asked tentatively, "'Pirate King'?"

"Do you remember?" Mao said with a sigh, "In fact, he has quite a lot of nicknames, such as the evil Barbossa, the Caribbean captain, and finally "Tennis Weekly" summed up a pirate king for him. "

Li Haida and the others were silent for a moment.

Maori calmed himself down, and asked the only person who had seen Byodoin: "What do you think? How is he?"

How about what?

Nioh, who had received too much information, made a completely wrong reaction under the influence of the atmosphere at the scene.

He glanced at Yukimura: "I think he and the minister are a bit... like...?"

His last word was weak.

Seeing Yukimura's sudden smile and the large lilies in the background, Nio shuddered.

What did I just say?

Can spiritual power make time flow back and swallow this sentence?

"Pirate King?" Yukimura said with a smile, "It's very interesting. Renji, go find his video."

"Yes." Liu said.

He snapped the notebook shut.

"Nio, sit in a row with me later, let's talk about the 'Pirate King'." Yukimura said, "Everyone, get in the car."

King Ni: God will kill me.

Mori smiled and patted his shoulder, Marui shook his head and patted his shoulder.

Nioh was furious, but facing Yukimura's smiling face, he could only stuff the last bite of bread into his mouth, and nodded silently.

Nioh: You have to eat enough before you die.

The author has something to say: **oss appeared in advance.

The strength of Byodoin is beyond doubt. I heard that he has new skills in the latest update.

And Shiraishi also exploded SEED.

Hey, this really is a fantasy world.Sure enough, the fox wants to use the fantasy golden finger, otherwise he won't be able to survive...

I suggest everyone to make up for the update of Xinwangwang, which is very creative and imaginative.

And yes, this week is updated every other day. For next week's status, see next week's list~
