Lehigh High School Boys Tennis Club

While the domestic autumn individual competition is going on, Yukimura is dealing with the matter of going abroad in an orderly manner.

He made an appointment with Tokugawa, so it took two weeks to deal with the formalities required for the school to take a long vacation and a series of certificates that may be required for direct transfer to foreign countries.

Several clubs contacted him after the World Cup last year, but he refused all of them on the grounds of medical treatment.After finishing the national competition, many clubs contacted him. This time he left a few contact information.

Although he and Tokugawa had a competitive atmosphere in the training camp, Tokugawa also told him that he was familiar with these clubs and could help if he needed to investigate.

"Always trouble you, Senior." Yukimura said.

Tokugawa tilted his head: "Seniors should help juniors."

This is one of his theories of doing things.

Tokugawa, who grew up abroad and received an elite education, did not have such an attitude when he returned to China more than two years ago, but after undergoing the inexplicable "test" of Byodoin and the "helping hand" of ghosts in the training camp, his Liberalism and the strict etiquette of seniors and juniors in China have gradually combined together, and it has become a concept that others find quite weird.

Everyone has their own ideas and always practice them.

Tokugawa hoped to defeat Byodoin last year and let the entire national team be formed according to his own philosophy.He failed.

This year, his opponent has changed.

Yukimura received a lot of attention from Tokugawa during the World Cup last year.

At first, he formed a doubles partner with Tokugawa in an exhibition match, and then entered a state of ability resonance during the partnering process.At that time he was still in a daze, and he felt a rare panic when he was caught in Yips.

And maybe because of that game, Tokugawa always had an extra concern for him.

Before the match against the German team, he had a long individual training session with Tokugawa.

He is very grateful to Tokugawa, who has been helping him find his status during that period.

And then he finally figured it out.

There is no need to follow the path of others.

Before Echizen Minamijiro, there was no limit to the so-called seamlessness.

He wants to prove that it is possible to win without entering the ultimate seamless limit.The road in tennis is not the only one of selflessness.There are so many professional players who have reached the top in the world, and none of them can win the game without being absolutely seamless.

Yukimura Seiichi Yukimura's tennis and pride.

If happy tennis is not destined to be his way, then there is no need to go any further.

There are so many roads to Rome, he only needs the one that belongs to him.

The match between him and Tezuka, until now, still makes him feel excited in his chest when he thinks about it.

This is rare for him.

When they were in sixth grade, they had an unfinished match.

Tezuka, who was fighting against Sanada in front of him at that time, was indeed the opponent he was most looking forward to at that time, but because of objective reasons, the two of them failed to finish the match.

and after?

Later, he entered Rikkai University, set up a tennis club according to his wish, and established a kingdom labeled as Yukimura Seichi.

And Tezuka went to Seigaku.

Sanada has always been paying attention to Tezuka, so he can also get various information about Tezuka from Sanada.Was bullied by seniors, injured, almost quit the tennis club, and later did not, entered the Kanto Tournament, was defeated by Ice Emperor... In the second year of junior high school, Qingxue didn't even enter the Kanto Tournament, and was eliminated in the County Tournament up.

Yukimura's eyes would only rest on worthy opponents.

To be honest, when he really stood at both ends of the net with Tezuka, how afraid was he of Tezuka?

No, what he fears the most is actually himself.

Sanada beat Tezuka in the national competition.

Later, Tezuka seemed to have solved his mental problems, and went to Germany to receive training as a professional player, and he was completely reborn.But these are not important in Yukimura's eyes.

The important thing is that he needs to find the way he should go in this game.

He couldn't stand still any longer.

He's out of time.

In fact, whether it is illness or mood, Yukimura does not think that these things can hinder his footsteps.

So he stepped over and walked to where he is now.

He has set goals for his tennis life, and he is always moving forward.

What did winning that game prove?

It proves that there is not only one path to the realm of selflessness.

It proved that Yukimura Seiichi can be his own god.

There are still many things Yukimura wants to accomplish this year.

He was not in a hurry, and made a plan step by step.

And so far, he's done pretty much as he planned.

Tokugawa's base camp is in France, so this European journey also starts from France.

I found an apartment in advance, paid the rent and packed my things, and made an appointment with Tokugawa to a club in France the next day.

The tryouts and visits took a full day.

Tokugawa speaks fluent French and is responsible for more than half of the communication work.

The communication between Yukimura and the club is mainly in English.

Having a senior lead him saved a lot of trouble.

The main reason is that Yukimura is not as clear-cut as Tezuka. He has already decided which club to go to before going abroad, and that club has indeed issued an invitation.Yukimura's current situation is a bit like riding a donkey to find a horse.The club that issued the invitation will go to visit, and the more famous clubs also provide resumes for trial training.Not only France, but also Germany and Italy.

Last year's game also left the contact information of some members of the French team. Duke also called soon after knowing that Yukimura was in the trial training.

"Would you like to come and not tell me?" Duke said, "I can talk better than Tokugawa."

Yukimura turned on the speakerphone and smiled helplessly: "Senior, Tokugawa-senpai is right next to me."

"It's okay to let him hear it." Duke said, "Come out and meet tomorrow, and I'll make an appointment with Camus too."

Yukimura thought about it that night and called Nioh.

"Minister?" King Ni was a little surprised when he received the call, "Do you need me?"

"I remember you phantom Camus during the game last year." Yukimura cut straight to the point, "Did Duke lead you to find him?"

"It doesn't count." Nioh said, "Senior Duke and Camus chatted on the public court in the tennis park, and then went to find a club to play a game. Senior Duke called me. Camus If so, it can be regarded as acquiescing to me to watch the game."

Although he often communicates with players from various countries during the game, his English is not particularly good (not as good as Yagyu), and the English of his communication partners is usually not as good as his. The so-called Communication is accompanied by sign language and gestures, plus discussing the game together.There is also a spiritual test for the communication of human personality and tennis skills. To go further, it is thanks to the fact that players from various countries participate in the competition with the mentality of communication, and there is no so-called "closed doors" idea.

"We chatted a few words after the game, but to be honest, we don't know each other." Nioh said frankly.

He guessed that Yukimura probably met Duke and Camus in France.

"Senior Duke will arrange it." Nioh said, "He is a very good senior."

Yukimura laughed when he heard the words: "It's really not easy for you to give such an evaluation."

"There are many seniors who have a good relationship with me." Nioh dragged his tone, "I also have a good relationship with Senior Byodoin."

He used a phantom to stay in the high school students' lounge, did the high school students really not know?

Part of it didn't know, and the other part was just "playing" with him.

At least Nioh knew that Maori would deliberately create opportunities for him, and Yuezhi would stare at him for two seconds every time with eyes that made his back a little cold, and then help him get in touch with other seniors.

He had been in contact with Byodoin several times before he realized that Byodoin treated Tokugawa really special.

For others, Byodoin was not so violent at all.

It can be regarded as another kind of "not being taken seriously".

Nioh could feel the scrutiny of his seniors, and he also accepted the help of many seniors.He said that he is very grateful to these seniors of U17.Moreover, most of the middle school students who participated in the World Cup with the team at that time were also very grateful to their seniors in high school.

Even the scene where they first met wasn't too friendly.

"In short, my popularity is very good, pupina~" Nioh said.

Yukimura hummed, paused, and then asked, "Who won the match between Senior Duke and Camus that you watched?"

"They didn't play seriously." Nioh said, "Senior Duke didn't show his full strength, and Camus... also seemed to be playing a practice match."

Nioh even knew that this game was even a little deliberately performed for him.

Of course, he couldn't understand French, and he didn't know what Duke and Camus were talking about.but……

"Minister, you can play a game with Camus." Nioh said, "I always feel that the French team did not show its full strength last year. Camus' nickname is 'Revolutionary'."

Last year, the Japanese team won too easily.

"I know." Yukimura replied.

He hung up the phone, and with a certainty in mind, he took out his notebook and the prepared information book to write and draw.

The next day was sunny, Yukimura and Tokugawa went to the appointment.

Duke was dressed casually, and Camus, who came with him, looked like a model or a florist, with a touch of romance.

They met in an open-air cafe, and it was almost noon, which was a good time to have a European breakfast.

Duke is responsible for introducing people on both sides.

Judging from the U17 situation last year, Duke can be regarded as completely surrounded by the House of Equality.

Of course, he originally came to the Japanese team with Byodoin to repay the "kindness" of Byodoin, and was truly impressed by Byodoin's courage and spirit.

But this does not mean that the relationship between Duke and Tokugawa is not good.

In the Japanese team, Duke's image is really too good-natured.

Camus had seen the Japanese team get along with each other a few times, and when he met Duke later, he joked that he didn't expect you to become like this now.

The King of the Big Bang, who laughed harmlessly to humans and animals, was known by those who had been crippled by the King of the Big Bang on the court, and would suspect that they had mistaken the person.

If possible, Duke hopes that the relationship between Byodoin and other members of the First Army will not be so rigid, so he is also very friendly to others.Of course, the Byodoin Institute is willing to "rule" the first army in a frightening manner, and Duke will not tear it down.

He greeted Tokugawa first, and then congratulated Yukimura on recovering from his injury.

They completed a simple employment consultation for professional players in the coffee shop, and Camus also answered some questions.

Compared with Tokugawa, who has not yet entered the professional world, Camus has a richer source of information.

Tokugawa also learned a lot from this conversation.

When the career consultation came to an end, Camus turned to Yukimura: "Actually, I came this time to try to invite you to join the French team."

"Eh? Me?" Yukimura slightly opened his eyes.

"Any thoughts?" Camus asked.

He didn't seem particularly persistent, he just casually and tentatively asked a question.

Yukimura saw that Camus's proposal was not serious even if he said it was serious, so he directly rejected it.

Camus shook his head and sighed: "I knew it. I invited Tokugawa several times, but he didn't want to."

Tokugawa was silent beside him.

Duke laughed: "The two of you are also fighting for the team leader position this year?"

"This is the business of the Japanese team." Tokugawa said.

Some exchanges can be carried out, but some things cannot be put on the table... Although the affairs of the national team are basically on the table, you can collect information with your heart.

Duke nodded and looked at Yukimura again: "In that case...do you want to play a game with us?"

Yukimura put down his coffee cup and raised his head: "I was about to make such a request to Senior."

The author has something to say:

Originally, Yukimura and Tokugawa didn't have this plot line... because it was adjusted in the last update of XF.

The relationship between Yukimura and Tokugawa would be better written.

As well as Camus' character design, I always feel that XF has been changed several times...
