Lehigh High School Boys Tennis Club

France is Duke's stronghold.

On the way to the club, Duke also gave Yukimura popular information about several clubs, similar to the manager's marketing focus, and some good and bad tendencies.

This is information that even Tokugawa may not be able to obtain.

For example, the management of the XX club has a tendency to be racially discriminatory. It is not recommended to go for an interview. Even if you pass it, the working environment will be worse.Another example is that the management of YY Club is usually relatively loose, so some of the signed players will have bad habits. If you want to go, you have to know it yourself.

Before Duke went to the Japanese team, he was actually an "ace player" belonging to the French team. He had stayed in the youth training camps of several clubs, and he and Camus also had a friendship at that time.

After deciding to go to the Japanese team, he wandered with Byodoin for a while, and also saw the situation of clubs in various places.

In the past two years of wandering, he has indeed felt the power of the so-called "practice", his personality has become much calmer, and he has a deeper understanding of the relationship between his predecessors and seniors in Japan.

Although many times in Europe and the United States, this kind of excessive concern falls into the category of "nosy", but it doesn't matter when facing the juniors of the Japanese team.

After listening all the way, Camus couldn't help saying to him in French: "Duke, you are like a nanny now."

"Don't say that, Camus." Duke replied, "You care about the French team too."

"Oh, I understand, if you say so."

Camus' nickname was "The Revolutionary".The French team was formed by him alone.Among professional players of the same age, he is top-notch in terms of tactics and overall situation.He behaved innocently and romantically, as if he had nothing but tennis in his eyes, but part of that was the inertial performance of the French's romantic nature.

It is true that I want to marry a tennis racket, it is true that I have a lot of plans, it is true that I have paid a lot for tennis, and it is true that I have ambitions for the tennis team and management.

At his stage, calculations are no different from reflexes, no different from everyday behavior.

That's why Reinhardt of the US team said that he has a deep heart, and Camus just made a regretful expression, saying that you are too hypocritical, how can you doubt my sincerity.

By the way, Australia's Noah also had an impressive performance last year.

However, in Camus' eyes, the kid's ambitions and plans are too superficial, and it is easy to capsize when encountering a strong enemy.

Sure enough, Australia was beaten back by the Japanese team as he thought.

Camus didn't think the Japanese team was easy to deal with at first.

The person who can subdue Duke is the leader of the Japanese team. How can the Japanese team be easy to deal with?

He has been with Duke for so many years, and he understands very well that people who can tame wild beasts are by no means ordinary people.

Camus is already unable to participate in the U17 age this year. He and Duke are now considered professional players signed by the same club.After going to Japan for two years, Duke's strength has not regressed. On the contrary, he has gone further than he had planned. Therefore, he is also somewhat curious and concerned about the Japanese team.

Of course, he did not completely let go of the French national team.He has been pulling the strings for several years. Last year, he clearly had a chance to win, so he stopped Deron who wanted to break the seal.

What Camus wants to plan is not just a French team, but to use the youth team as a springboard to develop a sufficiently prosperous and continuous French youth generation.

It's not a sense of responsibility or leadership self-consciousness, it's just interesting.

Tennis is very interesting, and these plans for tennis are also very interesting.

So what is the reason for agreeing to Duke to play so easily?

The next generation of the Japanese team is also well worth exploring.

Tokugawa...not counting Tokugawa, the other one, Camus smelled a familiar aura from him.

They are of a similar kind.

Arrive at the club to complete the warm-up, and start to discuss the rules of the practice match.With four people on the scene, it is not impossible to play an official game, but it is also a bit wasteful.At this time, Camus was refreshed and suggested to try both doubles and singles.

"What do you mean?" Duke looked at him.

Camus spoke French to Duke, speeding up his speech: "One round of doubles, one round of singles, and a total of three rounds. It's just right."

"You really don't mind the trouble," Duke said.

"You asked me to play a mentoring game for your juniors, and I have to collect enough corresponding information." Camus said with a smile, "Of course it's better to experience it personally than to watch it."

"You just want to play," Duke said.

He told Yukimura and Tokugawa Camus' suggestion.

Yukimura and Tokugawa looked at each other and had no objection.

The doubles was played first. Before the game, Duke told Camus that we hadn't played doubles for a long time, so don't perform too badly.

Camus ignored him, but said with sparkling eyes that he had seen the two little guys on the opposite side team up in doubles in an exhibition match last year.

"Maybe it's different now than what you see," Duke said.

Camus nodded, a little surprised that Duke would say such words: "Of course it will be different. If someone has not improved in a year, then he should be eliminated instead of being brought here by you as the successor of the team leader. "

On the other end, Yukimura and Tokugawa were also discussing the competition.

Doubles is not difficult for them, and singles, if counted as a practice guide game, is also a rare opportunity for them.

"This is the second time I've partnered with you, Senior." Yukimura said with a smile.

Tokugawa glanced at him and nodded.

The game started after the warm-up.During the warm-up, Camus came over to gesture, and Duke helped translate some of Camus' own experience on stretching and improving flexibility.

Camus’s art tennis requires high body flexibility. Yukimura heard Nioh mention it once, saying that the phantom almost felt like his waist was about to break for a few minutes, and he was almost injured.

Yukimura knew that Nioh suffered a heavy physical burden after the game last year. Although the hospital examination problem was not serious, Yukimura himself was in the hospital for so long, so he was particularly concerned about this aspect.

He took Camus's advice to heart, planning to go back and ask his personal trainer and convalescent doctor.

This is already the second time they have collaborated, and Yukimura and Tokugawa are already familiar with the ability to resonate.

According to the technical flow analysis, the two of them can be regarded as similar types of players, so entering into the resonance of abilities can better exert the strength of the two of them in doubles.

Yukimura's mental power slowly spread out, and when the different dimension appeared, the mental fluctuations were very gentle, like sunlight falling on the field.

Tokugawa's mental power is sharper. His Asura Shinto rarely reveals a humanoid entity, and more is manifested by tricks such as black holes that cut space or time.

Camus on the opposite side of the field jumped up.

His body is beautiful, and he has his own rhythm when he runs and swings, looking relaxed and stretched.

And the gap between the rhythm and Duke's big explosion accurately stuck to the node where Camus changed the rhythm like breathing.Explosive power is unfolded, skills are brought to the extreme, and the lethality of the luminous ball used at the right time will double.

Yukimura's Yips don't work on Camus.

It doesn't matter if you lose your five senses, it doesn't matter if you can't see.Once he picks up the racquet, he's in his own place and in his own world.What his eyes see is not a simple tennis ball, and he imagines that his position is not just a court.

Duke is a partner in his world, and not a partner.It is life, not life, more like a prop to assist the game.He brought him into this tennis world, every breath, every swing, every rhythm of the game is part of art and has life.

Yukimura knew that he had met a strong enemy.

After the doubles, Yukimura first picked Camus as his opponent in the first singles.

A doubles practice match is similar to a warm-up. His muscles and bones are fully stretched, and his mental strength happens to be at the most abundant level.

He knew that neither he nor Camus would be fully serious about such a game.But Yukimura also felt a little subtle soul tremor during the doubles temptation and the only conversation with Camus.

When playing singles, Yukimura further confirmed that Yips is useless against Camus.

This is different from Echizen Ryoma's method of breaking free from Yips with a seamless limit, but Camus's own spiritual power wraps him into a solid shell without gaps.

But Yukimura used mental power to test again, only to find that Camus was not completely passive-aggressive with mental power.

Is this Camus's tennis ball?

Complete art, a unique world that is unconstrained and unconstrained.

It cannot be influenced by the outside world.

This is not the same as Camus he thought. If a person plays tennis like this, how can he have the title of "revolutionary"?

Devotion and scheming seem to be quite opposite words.

Maybe there's something I'm thinking wrong.Yukimura thought so.

In comparison, the match against Senior Duke is much simpler.

It's more like a basic skill inspection exercise.

The skill of returning more than ten balls in one breath, the way of going straight to the luminous ball, sometimes mixed with the powerful explosive power of the big explosion.

Duke, who has learned to retract freely, undoubtedly has a longer-term development.This is also one of the reasons why Camus's relationship with others quickly recovered and got better after Duke returned.Oh, don't accuse Camus of being utilitarian.Adult communication is always somewhat restrictive. For Camus, he certainly prefers to develop a friendship with someone who has a long-term development in tennis.

After the practice match and cleaning up, Duke invited them to have dinner together.

They picked an authentic local restaurant, and Duke made a reservation in advance.There is an open-air restaurant with a view of the river, and you can also choose fresh beer.Of course, the four athletes don't drink alcohol, but they can try sausage and corn.

"No matter which one of you becomes the team leader..." Duke said, "Every year, the First Army has an overseas practice tour arrangement."

"Senior, are you making an invitation in advance?" Yukimura asked with a smile.

Duke nodded: "Of course. The final roster of the French team may be determined after the practice match."

"If it goes according to last year's schedule ... then the Japanese team will be the same," Tokugawa said.

"That's why I invited you." Duke said bluntly, "I think it's a win-win."

"Of course, I have to thank you, Senior." Yukimura and Tokugawa looked at each other, and then turned their heads to show Duke a certain smile.

Duke recalled today's few games, and then glanced at the two sharp-edged people on the opposite side.

It is really rare for competitors to maintain such a friendly relationship, but in his eyes, the relationship between the two is already obvious.

This has nothing to do with the boss.

He thought that the current situation was different from what he thought before he came here.

He used to think that Tokugawa brought Yukimura to confirm his qualifications as a team leader and was practicing his character.

When we met, we found out that wasn't the case.

Comparing the two, Yukimura's momentum is stronger.

Tokugawa's heart is enough, but it always makes him feel that it is still a little bit worse.

What is the difference? Duke couldn't explain it either, but he found in Yukimura the temperament that he often saw in Byodoin that was hard to describe in words, and it was part of the temperament that made him transfer from being grateful to being the boss.

Interesting, I haven't chatted with the boss for too long.

Duke decided to call Byodoin at night.

When saying goodbye, Duke gave Yukimura the contact information of some professional players from the German, Italian, Spanish, Swiss, British, and Greek teams.

Some of them are no longer national team players.

Most of the professional players in the same period are already overage for the U17 World Cup this year.

"But if you contact them now, some of them still maintain a certain relationship with the national team." Duke said, "The annual team leader contact practice matches also rely on their own relationship, and the schedule of teams other than the team leader contact will be made by the Tennis Association. To coordinate the business team."

"Thank you, senior."

On the way back to the hotel, Tokugawa's expression was a bit complicated.

Yukimura saw it, and thoughtfully asked him if he was not feeling well.

Tokugawa shook his head.

In fact, Yukimura can guess what Tokugawa is contradicting.

The confrontation with the Byodoin Institute made Tokugawa unavoidably have some unspeakable pimples towards Duke, so that it was difficult for him to accept Duke's kindness and help without any obstacles.

Tokugawa is such a person.Even if it was Oni and Irie, Tokugawa couldn't directly accept the kindness of his senior.He will find a way to do something in return.

In the beginning, it was with this attitude of reciprocation that Tokugawa had further entanglements with Byodoin.

The knot between senior Tokugawa and Byodoin has not been fully resolved.

Yukimura found this out.

Isn't one game enough?

No, or it was because of that game that Tokugawa vaguely untied half of his knots, leaving a trace that he himself could hardly detect.

"Senior, don't think too much." Yukimura said.

Tokugawa was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No, I didn't think about anything."

Yukimura was a little helpless.

How to appease some seniors who are stubborn?

Like a pacifier?

Is there such a naughty person in Lihai University?

... Sanada?

No, Sanada doesn't count.

Sanada was stubborn at best.And Yukimura has also mastered the method. Some things really don't make sense in front of Sanada, so just use another way to stun him with another logic.

But Tokugawa's words are more delicate and troublesome than Sanada's.

Perhaps it is difficult for others to have a chance to intervene when they care too much about things.

Yukimura calculated the itinerary: "After two days, all the French clubs that have made an appointment will finish their trial training, and it will be the German side. Maybe we will invite the seniors of the German team to compete."

Tokugawa's attention was diverted: "The German team...do you still have contact with Tezuka-kun?"

"We are also considered friends, of course we will contact." Yukimura said with a smile.

Although Tezuka's phone number is what he asked for from Fuji, the conversation between the two of them is no more than a business-style greeting when saving contact information.That's "connection" too, isn't it?

"I thought he wouldn't be in the German team this year," Tokugawa said.

Yukimura blinked, feeling the subtext in Tokugawa's words.

"The German team suits him," Yukimura said.

Tezuka Kunimitsu.

This person has deeply affected his own children.

Yukimura is not the type of friend who would be jealous, but some of Sanada's reactions occasionally make Yukimura feel complicated.

Not to mention that the two had a match last year.

Tezuka is in the German team... better than going back home.

From the perspective of Tezuka's own development, and from Yukimura's perspective, this is the case.

In fact, compared to Tezuka, Yukimura originally thought that Echizen Ryoma would represent the US team this year.

Unexpectedly, due to some plans of the Tennis Association and the invitation of Echizen Nanjiro, Echizen Ryoma returned to China to participate in the training camp.

It's a pity.Yukimura thought that he really wanted to eliminate the American team with Echizen Ryoma in the official game.

But there will be a chance.

He and Echizen Ryoma will fight many times in the professional arena in the future.

The author has something to say:

Yukimura: I originally thought that I was planning and preparing for my career, but I didn't expect to complete the advance communication with the U17 national team by the way.

And Camus's character design is a private design, because the update of XF also has contradictory parts, so I combined it and played it a little bit.
