[Comprehensive] The Light Chaser

The winter vacation for Japanese students is not long.From Christmas Eve to the seventh day of the New Year, a total of two weeks.During these two weeks, if it is a high school, there will be a winter season of the league (such as the well-known baseball Koshien and basketball leagues, both have winter games), but there will be no activities in the middle school.

Originally, the Tennis Club of Lihai Daguo Middle School would prepare at least one week of special training for the two-week winter vacation (of course, the participants are only the main selection and the main selection reserve), leaving a week of rest (or time to catch up with homework).But now, the "break" has been shortened artificially.

"Seven days, one subject per day." Sanada said with a gloomy face, "Make up lessons for Kirihara!"

"Xianichiro, calm down." Liu glanced at the junior with a swollen head, and couldn't bear it, "It's impossible to save a person's grades in two weeks."

"Then spend more time! There are still more than three months before the end of the third semester!" Sanada folded his arms, "I don't want to wait until this kid is suspended next year!"

When Sanada really made up his mind, no one in the tennis club could refute his decision.And the only person who could have changed his decision is still in the hospital, undergoing grueling rehabilitation.

So Kirihara's "special cram school" entered the daily training list of Li Hai Taisho under such circumstances, and by the way, even the reserve students of the same grade were not let go.Hasegawa and Chiyan were originally selected by Yukimura because of their grades, so naturally they couldn't be spared at this time.

But under the premise of extra training, give Kirihara tutoring?

"Sanada thinks that we would rather die in front of this kid's desk than on the tennis court..." Marui whispered.

Niwang glanced at him: "It's not your turn to make up lessons, right?"

"... Nioh! Don't laugh at my grades!"

"puri~"

Had it been two weeks ago, Nioh might have raised objections to such a decision.But now he has become much quieter.It can also be described as stable.For this reason, he was ridiculed by the white fox for many days.

He glanced at the two juniors with bitter faces, and patted their shoulders: "Come on."

"……Eh?"

"Although I can say, 'If Kirihara fails to improve his performance and is suspended, then his position will be replaced by someone else'..." Nioh tilted his head, "How do you feel?"

"Senior! Don't underestimate us!"

"Then let's work hard. Keep getting stronger until we take the main pick from us." He paused after speaking, "No, we can't stop until then."

Will such words come out of my mouth?

Nioh himself thought it was quite funny after he finished speaking.

He glanced at the white fox who "lingers on" even in school, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.

Before the official holiday, he visited Yagyu once.

At first I planned to apologize, but I didn't know how to apologize.If he said "I'm sorry I was too arrogant before", then Yagyu would definitely be even angrier.Nioh certainly understands this subtle emotion.So he changed his mind again before meeting Yagyu.

This is not a formal invitation, it's just that Nioh stopped Yagyu after the training, saying do you have time?Let's chat.

Liu Sheng glanced at him and nodded.

They found a place in the corner of the field, Nio leaned against the barbed wire, and Yagyu stood with his back straight.

The new training sheet has already been put into use, and even those who are used to high-intensity exercises need to practice until dark to reach the minimum standard.On the first day, even everyone was holding on and slumped on the ground after finishing the work. After a few days, the situation became better.

At this time, Liu Sheng endured the soreness in his hands and feet and looked at the somewhat abnormal King Ni.His hand holding the racket was shaking, and his sweaty clothes were sticking to his back, and the wind made him feel sad.But he still didn't change his face.

Will you catch a cold?

Probably not, he and Nioh wouldn't have much to say.

"King Ren." He said lightly, "Is there something wrong?"

"Forget it." The toe of King Ni's foot touched the ground rhythmically, "Before...forget it."

Liu Sheng couldn't help frowning.

He looked at Nioh.

The white-haired boy has really changed a lot during this time.It's a change that everyone can feel.Strength, attitude, style, almost like a roller coaster going up and down and left and right.

Yagyu claimed that he was not familiar with Nioh, but he had heard Marui's complaints a few times, and those complaints were somewhat mixed with worries about his companion's abnormality.

The concerns are also justified.

If a person behaves abnormally like this, either he is possessed by a ghost or his life has undergone tremendous changes.

Despite thinking so, Liu Sheng still maintained his indifferent expression: "Before?"

"Puri." Nioh thought that Yagyu probably didn't want to listen to his own mental activities.From the perspective of not making excuses, his attitude towards Liu Sheng can indeed be described as "disrespect".But it would be foolish to really dissect yourself for this seriousness.

"Want a fight?" he said.

"Now?" Liu Sheng showed a surprised expression, with the implication of "Are you kidding me to play the game now?" in his tone.

King Ren tilted his head: "It's okay if you want to hit me now, but..."

"It's just a date, there's no need to call me to the corner to talk, right?" Liu Sheng turned his head.

Nioh hummed, and the protracted ending revealed his own uncertain hesitation: "No, I'm just not sure whether you want to fight with me or fight... If you can use fighting to solve the problem?"

Liu Sheng raised his hand and pushed his glasses: "I'm not Sanada."

The game was scheduled for the next day.Didn't intend to avoid people but opted for Grand Noon and the indoor tennis court.

When Liu received the news and arrived, the game had already been played.Neither Nioh nor Yagyu looked like they were fighting hard, and they didn't sweat much in their coats.This makes it difficult for him to guess the course and result of the game.As for the cause?Isn't that obvious?

But after the game, the unbearable atmosphere between these two people finally eased a little.He felt relieved that the knot between the doubles partners should be resolved, right?

"It's useless at all." The white-haired fox commented unceremoniously, "Just go up and tell him, I'm sorry, I did randomly ask you to be a doubles partner before, and the 'same battlefield' is just a random word You don’t have to take it seriously, isn’t it all right?”

"Shut up. It's bad enough, I don't need you to teach me how to continue adding fuel to the fire." Nioh paused after speaking, "And I didn't just say it casually. I thought for a long time before choosing that rhetoric."

"As a result, you are bound in a cocoon?"

"No, I really thought that then, and I still do."

"so?"

"No reason." King Ren glanced at the white fox, "I still have a lot to do, don't I?"

"You will have no friends like this."

"Friends?" King Ni narrowed his eyes slightly, "For me now, it might be a good thing not to have friends."

The white fox looked at the boy who said that in surprise.

This face and expression were very similar to the one in his deepest memory, and even the reaction that the teenager should have these days was the same as he expected.So he once thought that his calculation did not achieve the desired effect.Now let's see...

"Are you afraid?" White Fox asked, "An extraordinary ability."

"No, it has nothing to do with spiritual power." King Ren snorted softly, "The weak will be afraid of power."

Besides...

King Ren lowered his eyebrows.

He thought he should have found out sooner.

The giant fox in the body, the seed that signed a contract inexplicably has nothing to do with will, and this white fox that follows him all the time.

With a little more imagination, he could expand to a hundred and eighty stories, but that was useless.Truth is unique.And most of what's happening to him right now is purposeful.

Then it's okay to let nature take its course for the time being, because his own mind is also the same.

During the vacation, after finishing the training list, Nioh began to study "different-dimensional tricks" and "synchronization".

Yes, he has no plans to give up the synchronization.Leaving aside the subject, he really intends to use the "curve to save the country" method to achieve coherence.Or that can't be said to be coherence, but unilateral "control".

"In any case, the essence of coherence lies in the unity of the two? Unity of thought and unity of action." King Ren explained his thoughts to the white fox, "That is to say, as long as two people have only one thought, they can be regarded as 'coherence'. Spiritual power can achieve this effect. Yukimura's "dream" is to use spiritual power to create illusions to affect the opponent's actions, while my "phantom" uses spiritual power to mislead to a certain extent, coupled with the "selfless state", it is The guidance of spiritual power to the body. According to this logic, if I combine mental power and spiritual power, I can completely control a person's mental power and physical actions."

White Fox: "...what's the difference between that and one-on-two?"

"Of course there is." King Ni retorted, "I didn't intend to completely control it. Marionettes are stupid, reducing strength and increasing consumption. To put it nicely, this kind of 'synchronization' is a unilateral output of mental power , in order to achieve the effect of controlling the resonance and wavelength of mental power, and then affect the moves of partners and opponents. And spiritual power, spiritual power can assist mental power. Or..."

His eyes lit up: "I can combine with the 'phantom'. Suppose my opponent is a pair of doubles partners with a tacit understanding, then I can interrupt their cooperation and obtain their information. And if I use 'coherence' in a singles match, I will have an insight into all the opponent's thoughts, so that I can completely control the rhythm of the game."

The white fox's always smiling face struggled to reveal an indescribable expression: "Are you a control freak? Isn't the essence of coherence trusting your companions and entrusting everything to each other? Yours...is the complete opposite?"

"Different routes lead to the same goal." King Ren said.

I can't see where the different paths lead to the same goal at all...

Why did this kid think of this direction?

"Who would want to play doubles with you?" He couldn't help but ask.

Niwang tilted his head: "Then I don't let him feel it? He will think that all actions are of his own will."

White Fox: "... Then, why did you explain it to me?"

"Because I need someone to practice with me." King Ni spread his hands at the white fox, "What effect will the combination of spiritual power and spiritual power have? If I can't find anyone to practice with me, it's not bad to use monsters to make do."

White Fox: "..."
