[Comprehensive] The Light Chaser

Zero serve.

In the crowd, Tezuka Kunimitsu looked at the people who were exactly like him on the field.

He was still expressionless, but his eyes flashed because of "Tezuka Kunimitsu"'s "Selfless Realm" and "Zero Serve" on the court.

He thought, is this the trick that makes Dashi and Fuji both abnormal?Even Coach Ryuzaki used a hesitant tone when he called him, Li Haida's fraudster, Nioh Masaharu...

There is also this selfless state...

It's been a long time.

He wasn't surprised by the zero serve.

As long as you master the zero-cut ball, it is not difficult to extend to serve.In fact, he himself has completed more than half of it, and it was three years ago.but……

He moved his hand, thinking that it was not enough now.

It is still in the repair period and can only swing slightly.

Tezuka turned his head expressionlessly and looked at Atobe in the arena.He thought, Atobe, what are you thinking at this moment?

He saw some trance again.Such indifference made him frown involuntarily.This is training camp and qualifying is important for each of them.So what is Buer doing?Are you distracted by such an important game?

Is my existence a hindrance to you?

No one on the court could worry about Tezuka's mood off the court.

At least Atobe just glanced at him.

All his attention was on the game, and the unexpected development made him devote a lot of concentration to this game.He's in high spirits now.

Zero type?

Then I'll try to hit back and see!

"what!"

As a serve zero, on first appearance, the height before the fall is a bit higher than the slice.

But it's not just Atobe who noticed this, Nioh is also constantly correcting the tennis ball.

A little further down, will it touch the net?

The amplitude of the elbow can only change 5 degrees...

can do it!

He felt that this move was approaching the critical point of perfection.Where the racket meets the ball at impact, how far the tennis ball should be from the ground when swinging the racket, and the resulting angle of the arm and elbow downswing.

Don't be stiff, relax, wrists should be soft, and then, press down——

"Gamewonby Masaharu Nioh, 2-1!"

So far, the serve games have all ace-scored games.

Will this confrontation continue?

Atobe gasped: "Master..."

He twirled his fingers and dropped the tennis ball.

Snapped!

The tennis ball arced again.It was fast, sprinting down after clearing the net, and then slashed a dotted line across the field.

This time the tennis ball was closer to the ground, but better than the first ball of the second inning...

How about waiting until the physical strength is consumed?

Nioh finally moved.

At the same time Atobe swung his racket, he started running.

The path of the ball is already clear, but there is more than one way to counterattack.

He is running.The speed of the ball is too fast, and the tennis ball is already close to the ground when it reaches the landing point.If you don't let the racket touch the ground, the ball is theoretically impossible to return.But even if the racket pulls the ball——

Snapped.

The tennis ball hit the middle net.

"30-0!"

Nioh looked at Kamijibe.

He hasn't dispelled Tezuka's phantom yet, but this sentence is clearly written in his eyes: I have caught your weakness.

Humph.

Atobe adjusted his breathing and hit the second ball.

however--

Touch the net!

Touch the net!

"Double fault! 30-15!"

"Double fault? That Atobe..."

"This move is really too forced." Renzu sighed, "Even with Atobe's skills, can't you fully control it?"

"It's like my 'One Ball into the Soul' tends to miss the serve?" Feng asked.

Renzu hummed: "The principle is much different, but it can be understood in this way. Give Atobe another month, before the national competition starts, this trick can be fully matured. It's still too early. And..."

Moreover, his opponent is "Tezuka".

No, maybe this won't bother Atobe, but judging from the scene, it's really shocking.

Shinobu pushed his glasses, watched Atobe adjust his breathing, and tried to serve again.

First time, mistake!

The second time...it worked!

Shinobu opened his eyes wide.He watched "Tezuka" move again, and this time... cut it!Before the tennis ball hits the ground!but……

Touch the net!

"40-15!"

Underestimated the spin above?

Atobe's skills are much better than he thought.

Is this guy, who is undoubtedly an aggressive type on the surface, actually good at protracted battles, and is good at using skills to induce the opponent's rhythm to prolong the game time?

As expected of the Minister of the Ice Empress!

Nioh took two deep breaths, do you want to stop the phantom?

Tezuka's influence on Atobe...

not enough.

Compared with Fuji, Atobe cared about Tezuka only because he won a game that was not hearty enough.Master Atobe is proud enough, he accepts such a victory happily, but he also hopes to play a real game where both of them are in normal condition.

But Master Atobe is too sober, even if he sees Tezuka Territory and Zero Slicer...

King Ren understood.

When he and Atobe looked at each other, he understood that even if his "phantom" became Tezuka, in the eyes of Atobe, he was still Masaharu Nioh.

So, do you want to continue the phantom?

It's a bit uncomfortable to give up halfway like this.

Besides, the situation is not out of control...

Otherwise, wait until the zero serve in the next round is over?

This move is still more shocking when played with Tezuka's appearance.Although he no longer expects to rely on this to shake the Atobe.Adding mental strength is useless, even if the anxiety is accelerated, Master Atobe will calm down quickly.

Well, I...

King Ren weighed secretly and made a decision.

There's a Tannhauser coming!

He tried to fight back, but was still close to the net.

And next time, he will definitely be able to fight back!He knows this, and Atobe knows it too!

"You've had enough fun." Atobe said, "I don't want to see you with this face again."

Did you change your name?

Don't say "Master Ben" anymore?

Does that mean Atobe's approval?

King Ni didn't say a word.

He threw the tennis ball—

Zero!

"Gamewonby Masaharu Nioh, 3-2!"

The score was stalemate, and this was the fifth inning with a direct ACE serve to score.

But when it comes to the pace of the game, it's not particularly fast.

Yukimura next to him also happened to win the fifth round.

Presumably he will be the first one to win?

Atobe frowned, trying to take advantage of Yukimura.But it was a kind of misfortune to face an uneasy opponent.After thinking this way, he turned around, and the white-haired person had already changed in front of him.

He frowned a little: "ah, that's what it looks like."

"Puri, I'm rather disappointed, it didn't achieve the desired effect."

"Hmph, who do you take me to be?"

Oh oh, it's back again.Which sentence of mine hit Atobe's point?

King Ni did not think deeply about this question.

The moment he faded from the phantom, the appearance of the white light on his body also changed.

He let the spiritual power flow on his body, focusing on his limbs.

After the white fox gave him spiritual power in the final of the Kanto Contest, he was in an explosive state. After thinking about it, he could also enter by himself, but it was not very controllable.But Nioh didn't like that, it was a state of body before brain, his body was always faster than his mind.It's incredible, isn't it?But it is true.

So Nioh doesn't like this, he likes it anyway, making tennis a big show.

I'm a fraudster.

The tennis played by the fraudster is naturally the tennis played by the fraudster.

He thought about it, in that state, can the increase in human strength be used in other aspects?

If it's just a partial burst of spiritual power, then what's displayed is probably "the ultimate after thousands of tempers".

Is there really no compromise in this?

It's impossible for a person to think of it in life, but now, he is facing an opponent with enough weight!

"Looking good~" King Ni hooked his lips and pinched the tennis ball.

If he used the serve style in the first game, it would be easier for him to ace the serve.But that method of play is also a liability for him.After all, his body couldn't bear the long-term close-range muscle explosion.That's a short and opposite way of exerting force, and it's really heavy on the arms, probably heavier than a zero serve.

But it's not good to say that the pressure of the zero-style serve is on the joints, while the pressure of multiple balls is entirely on the muscles.

Muscle strain or joint injury, which one is more serious?

It is the most stupid to compare.

Athletes who hurt themselves meaninglessly are the stupidest!

"Here we come!" Nioh threw the tennis ball.

He could see the way he threw the tennis ball.The blond boy frowned with a little hesitation in his eyes.

This way, is it...

How can it be? !

He suddenly lowered his waist back and bounced up again, his arms spread out and he swung vigorously.

This is clearly——

"Tan Huaisel!"

Atobe opened his eyes wide.

He watched the tennis ball fall in front of him in a yellow ray, and then in a yellow arc.

huh~

It stopped, touching the ground.

This trick is obviously...

"It's okay, isn't it too difficult?" King Ni said.

He looked at the expression on the opposite face, thinking finally.

Finally, it changed.

It is really difficult to change the rhythm of Atobe, and the ice emperor's emperor is so calm that he is surprised.It's not that difficult for him to provoke Sanada, but Sanada himself is also an excitable character, no better than Atobe.The young master obviously looks a little emotional, and he always has a flying posture when getting along with each other on weekdays, but he is unexpectedly firm on the court.

To change the rhythm of this kind of person...

As long as there is a change, victory will be tilted towards me!

Nioh thought so, and further increased the output of spiritual power.

He is in control, and the large-scale explosion can easily lead him directly into the extremely exhausting state known as the "seamless limit".It is true that the legendary third limit has an effect that matches its reputation, but it is not the one he expected.

Get it under control, get it under control!

Cold sweat broke out on the corner of his forehead, but the movement of swinging the racket remained unchanged.

The increased spiritual power made him hit the ball more powerfully, and it required more mental power from him.

He has to expend more energy to control himself.

But the tempo could be a little faster, a little faster, so fast that——

"Gamewonby Masaharu Nioh, 6-4!"

"Actually...lost?" Yue Ren opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

How could he think?That trace department actually...

That's their minister!The minister who even beat Tezuka!

"Yue Ren!" Ninzu raised his hand and pressed on his shoulder, "Calm down. You also have a competition, so calm down before the competition starts."

"……I see."

A person has only one chance to challenge, that is to say, Atobe and Nioh exchange ranks.

This is not good news.

But fortunately, this is only the mid-term ranking.

Moreover, all the current challenges are for Group A, and the places in Group B will be challenged again after the names of Group A are determined.

Atobe stepped forward.

When he exchanged places with King Ren, he glanced at King Ren: "Give me another half an hour..."

"That would be too long." King Ren said frankly, "I will not fight a war of attrition."

"Hmph, your condition can't be delayed, right?" Atobe Yi pointed out.

Renwang endured his headache and did not answer.

He didn't expect to be able to see it, but he was in an imperfect state, and he still had some tricks that he hadn't shown yet, and he hadn't used them in front of others since he practiced them.

"Who knows, Atobe. Everyone has cards," he said with a smile.

Atobe glanced at him, turned and walked out of the venue.

He thought, since King Ni dared to use it, it meant that he did have a hole card. After all, the Challenger League is a constant round of battles.Next, there will be people who challenge Nioh.If all the hole cards are used, wouldn't Nioh be weak in succession?

But that is impossible.

There are people who don't have enough brains in Lihai, but they will definitely not be King Ni.

"Trickster." He walked back to his team, and he had already begun to analyze the influence of King Nio's strength on Li Haida's competition in the national competition.

Tsk, the Bingdi who entered the national competition by virtue of the recommendation quota——

"Give me a little more effort!" he said with a snort.

Ice Empress and others: ...

Yukimura's game was already over when Nioh finished the game.They stood in the adjacent field and looked at each other. Yukimura compared his forehead, probably asking Nioh if he was okay.

Nioh himself also felt that the feeling of his face turning pale after a game was very misleading, but...

From another perspective, this can also be used as part of fraud?

He shook his head.

Probably because the result of the match between Nioh and Atobe was too shocking, no one stepped forward to challenge for a while, until Coach Saito picked up the loudspeaker and urged him twice.

Shishido, who was left in Group C, hesitated and went to Tachibana, while Guanyue looked at Nioh with complicated eyes, and chose Qianshi.

Nioh: ...?

Why not choose me?

I also want to see how magic works in tennis.

But in fact, in the previous few days of practice, he felt very little power fluctuations in Guan Yue's body.Once he felt it, when he turned around, he only saw Guanyue's unattractive face.

Then he thought of the popular science that the white fox has no credibility at first hearing (Nioh: What did the fox say? Magic, magic, and magic power are the same thing? It’s impossible to think about it, it must be nonsense!) There is a point in it that the magician and the spirit The rules are not the same as those who are capable, and they think it is shameful to use special powers in front of ordinary people.

and so……

I can't see "Magic Boy" anymore?

Renwang was inexplicably a little pity.

Qianshi and Tachibana, who are still standing on the court, are a little tired, but Qianshi, who has practiced boxing, has much better physical strength than others imagined, and Tachibana still retains the pride of "Kyushu Duo".

As for Yukimura and Nioh...

Challengers in Group D?

Huachi stood in front of King Ni, but no one from Yukimura was there for a long time.

"What, is everyone unwilling to compete with me?" Yukimura complained half-truthfully, "Yu?"

Liu · was called on · his teammates looked at him at the same time and didn't intend to make a rescue · Lian Er: "...I see."

It's a game with an end in sight.After all, Yukimura really couldn't find an opponent in the team's practice match.Winning or losing is one thing, and everyone is really reluctant to compete with him.Except Sanada.But Sanada wouldn't take the initiative to ask for a match with Yukimura, he just didn't refuse.

It didn't take much for Nioh to defeat Huadi.

He thought at first that the tall sophomore was here for revenge, but it turned out not to be.Can you copy all the tricks because your mind is pure?Then when the object of his copy is itself a "phantom"?

What a good subject.

How much strength can be replicated through indirect replication?

Nioh looked out of the field, Atobe's expression became calm again, and there was evaluation in his eyes.He thought it was terrible, would all the directors of a book develop to this point?Yukimura is also full of calculations, taking one step to see ten steps, this kind of overall view...

He was inexplicably touched.

After Saeki, Momoshiro and Yiwu finished their challenge, all those who remained in the training camp had finished their challenge.

By the way, Yukimura really has no opponent this time.

Momojo chose Nioh, Saeki chose Tachibana, and Iwu chose Sengoku.

The result still hasn't changed.

He has played too many matches with Sanada, and Nioh is of course tough against the power type, and this power type has to reach a certain level.And Taocheng's technology is still too rough.

Being emotional makes it easy for him to follow the rhythm of others.

This is a sophomore with a lot of room for improvement, and he hasn't been polished too much.Nioh doesn't comment on other people's second-year students, but he feels that his own second-year students are much better.

That's right, after all, it's "Lihai University's sophomore trump card".

Group F, that is, the challenge rules of the former defeated group returning from the mountain are not so strict.

Coach Saito directly asked if there was anyone he wanted to challenge, and if so, just go up there without thinking about it.Don't fight if you don't want to fight. In short, one can give up even one chance.

As soon as he finished speaking, except for Yukimura, the other three people lined up outside the court.

Yukimura: ...

Nioh's opponents are not many.

Probably he and Sanada, and the match with Atobe proved his strength enough, and then defeated Huachi and Momoshiro with a white face.This makes people think that this white-faced look is just a disguise.

Sanada hesitated for a moment, and went down to Tachibana's field under Yukimura's stare.

And cut the principle to look around.

"Minister, do you have no opponent? Then let me, Akaya Kirihara, defeat you!"

He said so with a completely innocent look.

The other people in the queue were blinded for a moment, looking at him like a warrior.

Yukimura smiled softly: "Okay."

"Hmph, and me." Another voice.

When Yukimura saw his opponent in the final of the Kanto Tournament, he felt a little delicate.He folded his arms and tilted his head: "Why don't you discuss it first, who will go first?"

"Little dwarf, it was mine first!"

"Who are you calling a dwarf! Kelp head!"

"Ah, ah, I'm not a kelp leader!"

……

Naturally, Yagyu found King Ni.His obsession with Nioh is difficult to explain clearly in words.It's not purely caring or simply dissatisfied. They can be the closest partners, but they are always a little short.You can also be an opponent on both sides of the court, but it's... a little bit worse.

He accepted this in the final of the Kanto Tournament, he accepted his concern for doubles and Nioh, and he also began not to care about the things he had been brooding about before.But……

The gap is still too big.

He thought, his own strength, and King Renwang's strength...

But he will win!

someday!

It was already late after the qualifying match of Group A ended, so the coach replaced the challenge match of Group B with a seven-ball duel system.

Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief: each of them played at least one game, and it's not that they can't play a few more, or...

Is this going to fight until dark?

The summer days are so long, but now it's beginning to be dusk.At night, the difficulty of the competition will increase further.

"And I'm so hungry," Marui said.

Nobody scolded him or said "too slack" because both Sanada and Nioh were on the court.After Marui finished speaking, he paused, feeling a little boring.Then he heard the coach's roll call.

"Those who were exchanged to Group B just now, Yushi Ninzu, Bunta Marui, Eiji Kikumaru, Hikaru Amane, and Kaoru Kaido, are now on the field to prepare for the challenge."

Marui: ...Me again?The initial staff felt miserable.

The quota for Group A has been decided, Sanada, Yukimura, Nioh, Sengoku.

This looks like a big victory for Li Haida.

The quota for Group B was quickly determined.

Shinobu, Atobe, Fuji, Echizen, Tezuka.

Among them, Tezuka received fiery gazes from several directions before the group A challenge was over.For example, Sanada on the left and Atobe in the crowd.

Tezuka: ...

His arm is indeed still recovering. Coach Ryuzaki called and invited him several times but he refused.It was only later that the coach of the U17 national team called and said that the greater purpose of the training camp was to evaluate the strength of junior high school students, and asked him what he thought of the U17 national team recruitment in half a year.

national team?

He thought of Borg who had come to the rehabilitation center to look for him a few days ago.

When Tezuka returned to China, his rehabilitation coach also urged him to be careful and protect him, and he could only "swing the racket slightly".

To what extent when the racket is slightly swung?

Tezuka's assessment is simple.

Under this evaluation, neither Sanada nor Atobe will do.Competing with them is definitely not just a slight swing.

And the Group A challenge?

Full game...

Sanada, Yukimura, Nioh, Sengoku.

He is naturally interested in Nioh, but he understands that the person who can hit the zero serve is not something he can solve with a slight swing of the racket.As for Qianshi, if you directly challenge...

No, forget it.

Tezuka thought.

He directly gave up the challenge place in Group A and chose to compete in Group B.

And at his current level, with the seven-ball rule, even a round-the-wheel battle would not be able to pose any threat to him.

Right now the quotas for all groups have been set, and upon closer inspection, only Qianshi is alone.

"But in terms of proportion, our Yamabuki is the big winner." He said with a smile, "[-]% selection rate."

That's because you're the only one here.

but……

"Boxing? Good direction and good statistics," Liu said.

"Thank you for the compliment."

It was indeed dark when all the game results came out.The coaches glanced at the sky: "Then let's go to the cafeteria. It was agreed before. The coaches of Group A and Group B will be introduced in the cafeteria. After that, I will take over Group C, and Coach Saito will be in charge of the practice of Group F. . Coach Sakaki maintains Group D unchanged, above. Disbanded!"

"……Yes!"
