[Net King] Space-Time Fragments

On summer nights, the hot wind seems to create shadows visible to the naked eye under the street lamps.

Looking up, you can see mosquitoes buzzing under the light source.

Kirihara was sitting on a bench under the street lamp, the sweatshirt on his body had been air-dried, the heat was steaming up, and the smell from the tip of his nose was not pleasant.He frowned, thinking about it, if he sweated again later, he wouldn't notice such a small problem.

There was the sound of plastic bag salad making, and then the light around him was blocked a little.

The kelp-headed boy wrinkled his nose, and his eyes turned involuntarily to the handbag beside him.

"...what is it?"

"It's just bread and milk." From the eyes of the kelp-headed boy, he saw the disgusted person being angry and funny.

He stretched out his hands and twisted his little braids, and said with a wonderful tone at the end of his voice: "It's enough to fill your stomach. If you have special training later, don't expect to have any big meals to eat."

"Senior is really stingy." Kirihara complained in a low voice.

King Ren ignored him.

Since he found sliced ​​bread and plain milk that he could accept from the handbag, he turned around and sat on the bench, opened the opening for the milk and put it on his side, holding the bread in one hand and slowly gnawing on it. Rubbing his calf with one hand.

He is not a player with particularly good physical strength. After the final of the Kanto Competition, the training list of Lihai Taizheng has increased. If he does not take a break now, he cannot guarantee that he can fully survive the "special training" afterwards.

The plastic bag next to him made a rustling sound, and the complaining kelp-headed boy finally succumbed to his protesting stomach.

King Ni thought it was funny.

He twitched the corner of his mouth: "Don't complain if you have something to eat, I'll have to pay for the club later, right? Do you still have pocket money?"

"...cough cough cough." Kirihara choked.

Nioh, who knew for a long time that most of the pocket money of the second-year students around him was spent on game halls and game consoles, was not surprised.

He stretched his legs forward and tried to relax his muscles: "In short, hurry up and start training after eating, I don't plan to spend the whole night on you."

"... Excuse me, senior." There was a small voice.

King Ni turned his head to look at Kirihara in surprise, licked his lips and smiled lightly, "You're welcome, pooh."

This is a week after the end of the Kanto Competition, and it is also the second day after the final exam of the first semester of Lihai University, and the first day of the holiday.

However, the training volume of the tennis department has not decreased because of the holiday, and even increased.Morning training has been extended by an hour, as is afternoon training.Of course, avoiding the time when the sun is at its peak, the burden of such training on the body is self-evident.

Ordinary members can choose whether to participate in training, but they have no right to choose when they are selected.

Of course, even if you have the right to choose, it is impossible to skip training.

The result of the final of the Kanto Competition was a blow to each of them.

Nioh has a spirit in his heart, and he also has a plan to improve himself.He went to talk to Liu, and the training list was naturally adjusted accordingly.

It was already dark when the afternoon training ended, and the hungry Nioh had hypoglycemia, so he was a little slow to pack his things.He lagged behind, slowly walking out of the tennis court with the tennis bag on his back.

Then Kirihara stopped him.

"Senior Renwang."

The junior with the kelp head standing in front of him looked a bit cramped, a look he hadn't seen much.

Even if they are both the main candidates, Nioh and Kirihara have no intersection.Probably some irrelevant topics were discussed during group activities (such as visiting Yukimura).

As for the usual training, Nioh and Yagyu's doubles training took up a lot of time.Even apart from Yagyu, he has practiced doubles with Yanagi, Marui and even Kuwahara.Kirihara is a complete singles player.

Staring at the Big Three, Kirihara really didn't have many chances to talk to Nioh.

What does this kid want from me?

King Ren was a little surprised.

He stopped in his tracks, quietly waiting for Kirihara to speak.

The angle of arching his back allows him to look at Kirihara at the same level, which probably reduces some of the cramps and tensions of the juniors.

"Special training? Me?"

An unexpected request.

Nioh stroked the strap of the tennis bag with one hand, and asked after a few seconds of silence, "Because you're left-handed?"

"Yes." The young man who spoke out the request in one go became calm, with his unique childishness on his face, "I want to develop a trick that can deal with Tezuka Kunimitsu and that little man!"

It's Tezuka again.

Nioh thought, this kid Kirihara was really brought up by Sanada, and somehow he became "attached" to Tezuka.

Weird.

Are you not afraid of people's reaction if you say such words directly?

But forget it, Kirihara's temperament...

"It was Liu who asked you to come to me?" King Ren raised his eyebrows.

The boy in front of him nodded.

really.

During the day, the invitation letter for the Kanto Youth Championship was sent to the activity room of the tennis department. It was a great opportunity to play against young American players, not to mention there were several school coaches to guide them.

There was no such opportunity in the training camps in previous years. Basically, they just gathered outstanding players from various schools together, so Nioh knew that Liu and Sanada planned to reject this year's training camp.But I didn't expect such a change in this year's training camp.

It looked like the two had changed their minds.

And it's no surprise to bring the "Second Grade Ace" who also received the invitation letter.

Nioh, who quickly put things together from the beginning, couldn't help laughing at himself.

If they continue to win the Kanto Championship, then all members of the Tennis Club will receive invitations.But they didn't, so there were only three invitations.

Nioh didn't think it was an opportunity that was so good that if he missed it, he would regret it for a long time, but he didn't even get the quota that he had sniffed at the previous year, which made him feel uncomfortable.

He calmed down and looked at the junior in front of him again.

The second-year student was indeed nervous when he made the request, but after saying all of it, his performance was no different from his usual behavior.

A kid who has no fear against the Big Three...

"Pfft." King Ni nodded casually, "I don't care. What about the time?"

"Is it okay every night?" This is the only time period I can control.When Kirihara went to ask Liu for advice, he was reminded by the military adviser of Lihai Tennis Department, knowing that this senior who was not very familiar with him refused to face the sun, so it was not easy to let people come out for training at noon.

That is indeed not a suitable time period, after all, there are individual targeted training in the afternoon.

Ren Wang thought that fortunately this kid was not hopeless, and he still had winks.

"Yes." He agreed, paused and continued to ask, "Starting today?"

"If Senior has no problems..."

"Then let's go." King Ni took another step.

"Eh? Where are you going?"

"The tennis courts in the holiday school don't open after eight o'clock. Street tennis courts are not suitable for developing 'killer cards', right?" Niwang said in a light tone, "Aren't you hungry? Go eat something and rest, find a club."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Kirihara who was a little dazed, and curled his lips to show his kindness: "Don't be afraid, I won't take you to a remote place to sell."

"Senior!" Kirihara was a little embarrassed.

He still remembered the tragic situation of asking for directions when he first entered school a year ago, so he has never dared to get in touch with this senior who played him hard at the first meeting.During the main election training, this hairstyle was particularly conspicuous (Nioh: You are not qualified to complain about me at this point, puff.) The senior can even argue with Sanada...

Kirihara still doesn't know that Nioh once pretended to be Sanada and punished him for running laps.

Nioh wouldn't tell him either.

So the boy with the head kelp unexpectedly felt that this senior was easier to get along with than he had imagined.

This view became more apparent when Nioh naturally paid for the dinner and club usage fees for the two of them.

Although the senior's attitude is not good, is he really a good person?

As he thought so, he scratched his already messy hair.

For the time being, King Ni didn't have the extra energy to think about whether he was issued a good person card by the only junior in the main election.

He hadn't done this before as a sparring partner for someone else's special training after a full day of training.No, you can't say no.It's just that the partner at that time is now his regular partner, and the current partner...

He clenched the handle of the racket tightly to suppress the unavoidable trembling of his left hand, Nioh gritted his teeth and held on.

Knowing that physical strength is his weakness, but acting like he can't do it in front of his juniors, this is really stepping on Nioh's bottom line.

No.

No matter what method you use, you can't show that you can't do it.

Fortunately, it was still the first day of special training, and the two people who were not very familiar with each other were somewhat restrained.

During the break, Nioh flicked his left hand and took out his mobile phone to make a call.

My palms were sweaty and I almost couldn't hold the phone.

On the other side, the boy who was drinking mineral water proudly looked over curiously, but kept his manners and looked away.King Ren pressed the number without changing his face, and asked a certain "culprit" to blame him.

"Consultant, it's too much for you to throw Kirihara to me like this?"

"You can't say that." The gentle and gentle voice of the gentle boy came from the receiver, "This is also a kind of training for you, isn't it?"

"Ok?"

"I don't think you don't remember what you said to me before." There was a little smile in Liu's voice, "It's not Kirihara that needs to be developed, or more urgently needs to be trained like this, is it? "

King Ni was at a loss for words for a moment.

He ground his teeth on his lower lip, pulling off the dry skin.A bit of bloody smell and tingling cheered him up: "It's hard for you to take what I said seriously, pupina~"

"Thank you." Liu said, "Although the accuracy rate is not [-]%, I still know when you are telling the truth. I should put some pressure on you, shouldn't I?"

Nioh was silent for a while, and perfunctorily said his farewell with the reason of "the phone is about to be owed and I hung up".

Anyway, he is a very familiar companion, so this kind of perfunctory excuse that sounds like an excuse seems very indifferent.

He lowered his brows, put away his phone, and glanced at his left hand again.

"Senior?" The kelp-headed boy next to him greeted him, "Shall we continue?"

Niwang let out a breath.

He closed his eyes and opened them again, regaining his unflattering mocking expression, "Go on."

It is more urgent to train like this...

Liu Lian Er, I will not thank you for this.

Nioh thought.

It was late when the training ended.

Nioh urged Kirihara to change clothes so as not to catch a cold, and took out his phone while paying the bill.

The person he hung up on more than an hour ago sent a text message.

"Please send Kirihara home after training. If he gets lost to Tokyo again, I can't go out to find him in the middle of the night."

Oh, I almost forgot that this junior is still a road idiot.

Nioh rolled his eyes at the air, the fingertips of his left hand holding the phone trembled a few times and couldn't press Jian.

He simply changed his right hand, and he was just as flexible when typing.

"He's not my girlfriend, and he wants me to take him home?"

"You can take him as your girlfriend. I don't mind."

Liu seconds back.

King Ren scoffed.

Kirihara?girlfriend?

This kind of girlfriend who has a bad temper, doesn't know how to act like a baby, and doesn't have a good figure, let alone an ignorant girlfriend, really wants to break up all the time, okay?Just imagining it gives me goosebumps.

Not having the strength to be lazy to type such a long string of complaints, Niwang wanted to forget it and wait until tomorrow morning to settle the score with Liu.

Seeing that Kirihara had changed into a loose hooded sweatshirt, he went up to him.

The kelp-headed boy scratched the back of his head and asked senior, you haven't left yet?

"Send you back first." King Ren said, "Do you know the way?"

"No need, I'm not a girl." Kirihara was a little embarrassed.

Niwang couldn't help but smile.

He didn't mention Liu's Ji Feng, but just raised his chin at Kirihara: "Let's go, lest you still have the energy to run to the game hall to play games."

"senior!"

After practicing with Kirihara, you will understand why the Big Three in the Lihai University Tennis Club look at this kelp-headed kid with special respect.

Compared with Nioh, who is an ordinary first-choice, the Big Three who not only have to lead the entire team but also divide up the coaching responsibilities, it is really different from the perspective of the tennis team.

Nioh has always understood this difference but didn't realize it much until the special training.

Passion and focus for tennis is one thing, and the willpower you put in to get there is another.

What is more prominent is actually that indomitable momentum and a talent that is difficult to describe in words.

In any case, Kirihara cannot be said to be a player who plays with his brain, so the sense of the ball and intuitive response shown during practice are more prominent.

Which one is faster, conditioned reflex or thinking?

When the wrist was in the chopping position, there was a sore feeling like a protest, and it was far away from the safety line, so it was selectively ignored by Nioh.

He watched the tennis ball hitting the net and adjusted his breathing.

"Just a little bit!" The boy on the opposite side of the net said angrily.

Nioh snorted lightly and switched the racket to his right hand, and nodded to the boy with flying hair: "It looks right, but mine is not really a 'zero-cut ball'."

"What, senior, are you such a person with no self-confidence?"

What does this have to do with self-confidence...

Niwang thought helplessly.

This kind of moves has been around for a long time in middle school tennis and has been studied thoroughly. The various parameters are clear and completely quantifiable.There is also a defined category for the arc of the elbow and wrist swing, as well as the speed and shape of the ball as it spins.How much I have achieved and to what extent I have reached is a completely objective answer.

It has nothing to do with subjective confidence or not.

How could I hear others say that I am not confident enough?

King Ren couldn't laugh or cry.

"Do you develop your moves by feel?" he said.

Kirihara didn't catch any subtext in this sentence.

The young man who had recovered his breath showed a bit of doubt on his face: "Obviously it was only a little bit short during practice yesterday!"

"That's why I say that I am not a real 'zero-cut'." Nioh said, "When you adjust the so-called 'a little bit', I am also correcting the tricks and the real 'zero-cut'. The gap."

"That's it." Qieyuan seemed to understand, "That is to say, the gap is more than a little bit, right?"

"...You can understand it that way."

"Senior always says things that I don't understand." Kirihara curled his lips, "But then again, senior, you are stronger than I thought."

"Pfft."

"But it's still not as good as mine hahahaha."

...What should I say at this time?

smile?

Nioh, who didn't want to laugh, twitched the corners of his mouth, and decided to tolerate the intermittent seizures of the junior second disease of the not-so-good-brained junior.

The author has something to say: the last bullet of the text!finally!Let's attack Ren Qieren!
