[Comprehensive] The Light Chaser

The match against Ice Empress is scheduled for the weekend of that week.

Because it was a practice match, considering the financial and safety issues, all members could not go together. We only arranged for the main players who needed to participate in the game and the main players who needed special training. They gathered at the school gate that morning and took the tram to Tokyo together. Bingdi will arrange someone to meet you at the station.

"So you don't have to worry about the route," Yoo announced to everyone at the end of practice.

The candidates had already heard the news the day before, and it was just an official notification at this time.As for the reserve and ordinary members who are being selected, the former still has the opportunity to watch, while the latter can only sigh, envious but missed the chance to participate.

This is also impossible.

After the announcement, Liu said some practice matters, and then announced the dissolution.Ordinary members can go home or stay to practice by themselves, and the real "special training" will start for the active and active reserve.

The practice time of ordinary members of Lihai Tennis Club is not too long, while the main players and main players have special training lists.This is also impossible, after all, they do not have a coach.Sanada and Liu even had to supervise the training of ordinary members before starting their normal training that day.

And one day ago, Nioh just got this job.

"It's easier for three people to rotate than two people." Liu said, "What do you think?"

The person who just rejected Yukimura's single request at that time was a little guilty, so he touched his neck and did not refute.

It was already very late when they finished the discussion meeting on the sequence of appearances, the street lights in the school were turned on, and the beach road at the entrance was illuminated by the light reflected by the turbulent sea.

Niwang suddenly remembered what happened last night.

A noodle restaurant appeared inexplicably, and a red-haired man flying on leaves...

Was it also sent home by Ye Zi in the end?

In the end of this world...

"King Ni." Liu seemed to feel that the atmosphere of the three of them walking in silence was a little awkward, so he opened his mouth to find a topic, "What you said just now, the double fight with Sanada..."

"I said it was a joke." King Ren woke up with a start.He blinked, and answered quickly, "Sanada and I haven't cooperated in practice, have we? It would be too contemptuous to play with such a lineup against Hyotei."

"Is this your reason?" Liu was a little surprised, "I thought you would say that you just didn't want to do that."

"I don't want to." King Ni said.He glanced at the silent Sanada: "But it's fun to try?"

"...Hey." Sanada frowned and turned to look at him.

Nioh looked back: "You also know how to play doubles, right? Yukimura said that you were a regular partner with him."

Sanada didn't object.

He was silent for a few seconds: "Why don't you want to play singles?"

"Puri?"

"Atobe is a good opponent. If a person wants to become stronger, he needs to defeat every opponent. So why don't you want to play solo?"

King Ren raised his eyebrows slightly: "Your logic is wrong."

"what?"

"A good opponent doesn't mean a suitable opponent." He clicked his tongue, "On the contrary, you, Sanada, you need to try to see how far you can fight without using 'Lei' and 'Yin', so as to save yourself from being in the gutter of next year's Kanto Tournament." Capsize."

"You!" Sanada clenched his fists.

"Okay, okay, don't quarrel again." Liu sighed helplessly, "Isn't it already discussed?"

"I don't understand." Sanada snorted, "You know what Yukimura thinks, right?"

"I know, but it doesn't mean I want to do that." King Ren said coldly, "Have we messed up before others reacted?"

Yukimura was too eager.

He understands the urgency.But the more I understand, the more I disagree.Why be so negative?

Too drastic changes can cause the opponents to panic, and it is easy to make one's own side confused.

Does he know what his minister means to everyone?Singles one...singles one is not just for anyone!

Really...

Nioh frowned, avoiding Sanada's sight: "Forget it, anyway, I will never do what I don't want to do."

"……too……"

"Too slack, right?" Nioh speeded up, "But I don't have to act according to your will, do I?"

"King Ren." Liu called him helplessly, "You too..."

"I'll go back first." Emperor Ren waved his hand, "See you tomorrow."

They don't understand why he's angry at all, he thought.

Yeah, why is he angry?

He thought of the seeds he'd planted the day before, and the senseless feeling he'd felt that morning.He thought that the man had indeed lied.Share the pain?If it's just perception, then the pain he felt must not be half of what Yukimura felt.

Because of the disease, more itself is a physical burden.

So what the hell can I do?After all, nothing can be done.Hypocritically wanting to help, wanting to share the pain...

Presumptuous.

Nioh tugged on the strap of the tennis bag a little annoyed.

When he rounded the corner of the street, a flash of whiteness flashed in front of his eyes, and he jumped from the tree by the side of the road to the roof next to him, and then disappeared quickly.

He was stunned.

What was that just now?

... a cat?

Why is it a bit like... the fox I dreamed about last night?

In the evening, he routinely went to Honmaru to take a training class, and when he met Fox Nosuke, he couldn't help but caught him.

"Judgment...Master God Judge?" Hu Zhizhu tremblingly thought that he had been found stealing fried tofu from the kitchen (but isn't fried tofu just for it to eat!).

Nioh rubbed Fox's hair, regretfully thinking why it's not white?

Hey, if he asked Five Tigers to borrow a tiger to masturbate, would Five Tigers agree?The fur of this red fox is not good enough.Compared to the white fox in the dream...

"Did something happen to you?" Ba Xing asked him coldly.

King Ren froze for a moment: "Me?"

"You have some other things in your spiritual power." Dao, who has always been taciturn, said in front of Taro who was in class, "Have you encountered any trouble?"

"...Spiritual power?" King Ren remembered the seed and the contract.He was a little guilty: "Does it affect you?"

"No." Baxing shook his head, "It's just that the daily operation of this pill is provided by your spiritual power, so I can detect it. If you are experimenting with some new spells, or have any agreement with your companions in this world, please Be careful."

"I know." Niwang said guiltily.

"But you don't need to overcorrect. Contracts are also required in daily communication in this world." Taro said softly.

It sounds like there is nothing wrong with this contract?

He still doesn't understand why he inexplicably agreed to that proposal yesterday.It's really Schrödinger's contract and Schrödinger's experience.

When Nioh returned home from Honmaru's spiritual power lessons, he turned his head and glanced at the tennis bag by the bedside.

I don't know if it's because the spiritual power he possessed from the beginning was related to tennis, but gradually he can only feel at ease with a tennis bag by his side.He still hasn't fully figured out the use of the tennis ball transformed from spiritual power, but at least in tennis matches, the energy of spiritual power is huge, and he has only grasped the tip of the iceberg.

What kind of person will I become in the future, what kind of things will I experience, and what role will spiritual power play in this?

Halfway through his thoughts, his eyes suddenly went dark.

...isn't it?

Is Yukimura's condition getting worse?How come the disease is so frequent?

He has not lost consciousness, so he can feel the light of the desk lamp gradually disappearing from his vision, and the touch of his body.The sound of breathing becomes heavy at first, along with the sound of heartbeat.But gradually even these disappeared.

It was as if he was in a completely dark space, he couldn't move or move, he couldn't make a sound and couldn't feel anything.

But the consciousness is alive, and he can still think. He even saw another "person" in his body, with the same face and body as himself, floating in the dark space with his eyes closed.

……What's this?

Is that seed really only used to "share the pain"?In other words, what he felt was Yukimura's pain, and did Yukimura's pain really ease?

When he awoke he was lying on his bed with the door of his room open.After a while, a scent came, followed by footsteps.

"... Tonkotsu ramen?"

A few seconds later, Nioh's mother came in with a bowl, complaining in her tone: "Did you eat well when I was not at home? You fell asleep on the table without packing up? Your brother went to training and you didn't know how to find something to eat by yourself." of?"

Nioh: I ate and I wasn't sleeping just now, but...

"Accidentally forgot." Niwang sat up propped up, clasped his hands together, "Then I started?"

Niwang's mother put the bowl on the bedside table: "If you do this again, the pocket money will be halved."

"... puri."

After eating the noodles and coping with the reproach, he closed the door again, thought for a few seconds facing the window, and opened the window again.

He has come to the hospital several times in a row at night, and he is already familiar with the road.This time, of course, he managed to get to Yukimura's ward.

Yukimura was lying on the hospital bed, the lights in the room were on, and several doctors were talking with Yukimura's parents inside.

Nioh leaned against the wall cautiously, trying to listen to the doctors' conversation with his ears pricked up.

"...This time the situation is better than the previous few times. There were already signs of deterioration, and it seems to have stopped. Let's go for another examination tomorrow. If the physical condition permits, it is best to transfer directly to Tokyo for surgery. Physical Under the premise of good conditions, the success rate of the operation will increase."

"Ah, if the patient's condition has been brought under control, then drug treatment is the best solution. If you are optimistic, even with drug treatment, you can basically be cured within three months."

"Doctor, is what you said true?"

"Ah, I found that Yukimura-kun's condition has improved significantly in the past two days. It may be the self-repair of the body's immune system. The specifics need to be checked to determine."

……

Eh?

Nioh stood up straight in surprise.

He looked down at his palm, then raised his head and looked at the room close to the crack of the door.

really useful?

Probably really useful.

It took Nioh two days to confirm.

One is that he has not felt the feeling of general paralysis in the past two days, and the other is that he came to the hospital through the window in the middle of the night for two consecutive days to eavesdrop on the doctor's diagnosis. He also found out the attending doctor's office and found that the doctors I was very surprised by Yukimura's sudden improvement in his physical condition and condition.

It almost became a "miracle in the history of medicine". He also heard the doctor and Yukimura say, "You like tennis very much, right? It is your dedication and love for tennis that caused such a miracle."

He couldn't help but wonder if Japanese medicine really has no future?Is it really good to be so fantasy?Can't you get to the bottom of it?

"Are you in a good mood recently?" Liu asked curiously.

"Puri?"

"You and Sanada haven't had a fight for two days," he said.

Nioh was silent for two seconds: "Why should I quarrel with Sanada when I'm fine?"

Liu bent his eyebrows and said that you could quarrel with just a few words a while ago.

"Although I can understand your feelings, I also have emotions. If this continues, it will probably become a melee." Liu said.

"Do you also swear? Fight?" King Ren asked intentionally.

Liu glanced at him: "I may not be able to beat Sanada, but with you..."

"Don't look down on people, staff officer. It's hard to say who will win when Sanada and I fight." King Ni smiled.

The match against Hyotei was scheduled for Saturday, and Kirihara hadn't come yet when the assembly time came.Sanada looked down at his watch, his face darkened: "That guy, he's actually late!"

Nioh recalled what happened on the first day of school: "Not necessarily, maybe I got lost?"

"What a joke! He walks this way to school every day!" Sanada gritted his teeth, "It's too slack!"

"Ahhh, let's go!" A familiar voice came from a distance, followed by the bicycle bell.After a while they saw a running figure appearing on the road, coming along the beach road.

"I'm sorry Deputy Minister!" the voice shouted while running, "I overslept!"

"That guy..." Sanada clenched his fists.

boom!

"Oh! It hurts!" Kirihara, who finally ran to the school gate, was punched as soon as he stopped.He covered his head and looked at Sanada pitifully, and then at Liu: "I didn't mean to..."

"Forget it, Genichiro, we should go." Liu shook his head and walked over to touch the top of Kirihara's head.

Liu announced the order of appearance on the train.

They had heard the reason for this match long ago, so they had no doubts about the position of Marui's singles three. Sanada's singles one and Kirihara's singles two were also expected arrangements.

After listening to the sequence of appearances, Liu Sheng turned his head to look at Nioh who happened to be standing beside him: "Niou-sama."

"Ok?"

"Is that what you wanted?" he asked.

Nioh approached and put his arms around Yagyu's shoulders: "Puri, how about you?"

They had done special doubles training for a period of time, but Nioh was suddenly assigned many tasks after Yukimura fell ill, and the special training plan was temporarily cancelled.Yagyu would not tell Nioh how he felt after watching the game a few days ago.Unwilling, or something else.

But at this moment, he will not discuss this issue with Niwang.

"Is something like 'coherence' really something that middle school students can do?" he asked.

King Ni opened his eyes wide in surprise, then narrowed them slightly: "If it is real, there is no reason why it cannot be done."

"Perhaps," said Yagyu.

Kanagawa is not far from Tokyo.

After arriving at Tokyo Station, Sanada called Atobe and led the team to the parking lot of the station.The bus with the big "ATOBE" logo was even more luxurious than the buses they used to go to the league. When they got on the bus, they found that there were snacks and drinks, and there were movies on the car TV.

Atobe recorded the video in advance, saying, "Let's indulge in my grandeur's gorgeous hospitality."

Marui: "...so exaggerated?"

"You can ask him to buy you limited edition puffs." Nioh came up from behind and patted Marui on the shoulder, "You are doing him a favor."

Marui nodded thoughtfully.

After they arrived at Ice Emperor, they started the competition without exchanging a few words of greeting. Only the Ice Emperor's main election participated, and the huge 200-member school team and cheerleading team did not come.

"Ah, I think it's best to keep this game a secret, what do you think?" Atobe said.

Sanada was noncommittal.

Liu glanced at the unfamiliar faces in the Ice Emperor's camp and the missing third-year student, and nodded with a smile.

Liu and Kuwahara, who played doubles two, faced Feng and Huadi.

It can be seen that the two tall first-year students are obviously unfamiliar with their coordination, and their skills are still immature, but some of the prototypes of their moves and their style of play are already obvious.

"Gamewonby Yanagi, Kuwahara, 6-0!" Taki, who acted as the referee, reported the score.

After performing the post-match etiquette, Liu walked off the field, and nodded to Atobe who was standing outside the field with his arms folded: "Aren't you afraid that we will collect information?"

"To each other." Atobe snorted, "I think this is an information exchange competition. I have heard that you Lihai University has had a lot of changes recently. Ah, if you don't mind, you and Ben Master, tell me?"

"It's not necessary!" Sanada said in a deep voice.

Nioh and Yagyu were still a little awkward with each other when they walked onto the court.

But when they walked to the net, they looked at each other, and when they went to shake hands with their opponents, they had adjusted their state.

"Yeah, the first doubles in the legend? I'm really looking forward to it." Shinozu and Yagyu shook hands and said with a smile.

Liu Yu did not comment.

His eyes, hidden behind the glasses, flashed a sneer at the word "first double."

King Ni lowered his head and met the provocative eyes of the short boy: "Let me show you how good I am!"

"Puri."

Ninzu Yushi, a native of Xiangriyue.

"Ninzu is the double-faced genius of the Ice Emperor." Nioh whispered as he walked to the venue.

Liu Sheng, who was not far away from him, answered, but didn't follow the lead, just asked: "The front and the back?"

"Backcourt." Niwang raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, then responded.

In the national competition a few months ago, he and Yagyu played twice in the order of doubles.On both occasions, he was in the frontcourt.

Yagyu has enough game reading ability and overall situation view, and Nioh is also quite good at the frontcourt volley that requires more skills.This was the best position for them at the time.

What about now?

"What do you think?" Ino asked.

"I have no objection." Liu Sheng said lightly.

They exchanged a look, staggered their bodies and walked to the positions required by the formation.

On the other side of them, Yue Ren and Ren Zu also showed surprise expressions after seeing their direction clearly.

Wait a minute...these two switched front and back?

Are you kidding me? !

"Nio and Yagyu, they are all full-court players." Liu whispered.

"Yeah. It's not like Jack and I." Marui clasped his hands behind his head, "But this way, it will be difficult for them to develop a tacit understanding, right? There are too many methods and tactics to choose from."

"It depends on their plans." Liu opened the notebook.

In the arena, four people stood in their positions.

The right to the home ball belongs to Ice Emperor, and Shinozuzu on the baseline holds the racket and prepares to serve.

Where is the weakness?

Li Haida's legendary first doubles... Let him try to see what level he is!

Snapped!

The tennis ball flew trickily along the halfway line.

This ball should be...

Yagyu and Nioh moved at the same time.

The model in Nioh's mind on the bottom line has been established, and the people who are constantly moving are constantly filling in the data of his model.Including the current wind direction in the arena, and the expressions and words of the two people opposite.

Of course, there is also Yagyu in the frontcourt.

He seems angry?How angry are you.Nioh thought so, and made up for the defensive loopholes caused by Yagyu's running position.

And Yagyu, who ran to the landing point of the tennis ball, swung the racket.

Snapped!

Strength, angle, technique.

The tennis ball rubbed against the net and hit the frontcourt forcefully. Yue Ren, who was rushing to catch the ball, changed his expression instantly.

He clenched the racket with his right hand, and after a moment of stalemate, he also supported it with his left hand.

"what!"

Why is this ball so heavy? !

When he was thinking this way, Yagyu was already waiting for the tennis ball to land.

There was a faint afterimage of his arm when he led the shot.

Snapped!

too heavy!

Once again, Yue Ren could only clasp the tennis ball with both hands together.

This time the angle he controlled was off, and the tennis ball was raised high.

lob?

Still Yagyu.

He chased to the backcourt, jumped high towards the lob, and the smash fell towards the gap in the middle half.

"Yushi!" Yue Ren shouted.

The Kansai boy who was called by him has already run to the landing point.

He turned his back, with his hands outstretched——

"The bear strikes back."

The tennis ball flew back into Nioh and Yagyu's half-court in an uncanny volley-like arc.

Liu Sheng fell to the ground, slightly frowned and turned his head.

And Nioh has already appeared at the point where the ball landed.

"Isn't it weird to call out the names of the tricks while playing the ball?" He said while naturally slanting the racket upwards.

"Kong Chan." Liu on the sidelines shook his head, "Is it easy to use my tricks?"

"15-0!"
