[Net King] The Crown of Tennis

Before the winter vacation in December, Yukimura conducted a round of points competition for all members of the department in the name of testing the training effect.

"Under this training intensity, everyone's strength increases by 7.5%~14.9%, speed increases by 4.3%~10.6%, endurance increases by 11.7%~20.3%, the skills are unknown, and the mental strength cannot be measured."

"However, everyone has improved a lot in terms of competition experience." Yukimura looked at the member ranking table, "But the newcomer Yagyu-kun is unexpectedly strong."

"Yagyu Hiroshi used to be a member of the golf club. Because the golf course is about to have a new plan, he left the club early and came to the tennis club. The possibility of making such a move according to the character of this 'gentleman' is 2.1 %. Of course, it may also be that I have insufficient information.”

Liu paused. "Yagyu-kun has no tennis experience before, but Nioh who brought him to our tennis club took him to special training."

"Special training?"

"Well, you should know, the relationship between Nioh and Fukuyama-senpai—"

"That's true. But there are so many people who are trampled under the feet of novices who just learned tennis. I really didn't expect it..."

Listening to Yukimura's disappointed tone, Liu's ink marks deepened: "Understood, I will update everyone's training menu again."

"Thank you, Lian Er."

"Should be."

Yukimura's mood eased a little, and he drew a line on the first page of the performance table: "Then this time, Yagyu-kun will be used as the dividing line. The top eight will be tentatively selected and go to Hakone Gaiju."

Apart from the original quasi-chosen candidates, only Nioh has more points than Yagyu, so it's no wonder Yukimura is so angry.

Hakone in December has already passed the peak viewing season, and most of the red leaves in the woods are about the same. Looking around, there are only a few sporadic touches of green, which contrasts with the relatively sluggish number of tourists in Hakone at this time.

"This situation will continue until the cherry blossoms bloom in April, when the number of tourists will increase sharply."

"So you can come again for the spring break in March." Yukimura stroked his chin, and beckoned the team members behind him to enter the hotel.

This hot spring hotel is run by Liu's relatives, so Yukimura asked Liu to say hello in advance, and of course there must be a fee.

It was already noon when Yukimura and his party arrived, and the eight of them were arranged in two Yamato rooms.

"Everyone has worked hard, please have a meal."

"Excuse me, Auntie." Liu saluted the kind woman who brought the food.

"Excuse me." X7

After the meal, Liu glanced at his friends who were either sitting or paralyzed, took out his notebook and began to explain the schedule: "This sleepover will last for a week. We will rest for three hours in the afternoon today. Training will start at [-] pm and end at [-] pm. Starting tomorrow , the full-day special training starts at [-]:[-] in the morning, and ends at noon on the seventh day. After lunch, take a short break and return. So please be mentally prepared.”

Seeing the fading smiles of Marui and Mori, Liu asked worriedly: "The venue is not a standard hard court, so I specially prepared knee pads and elbow pads. Even so, you should be careful during training. Keep your map and mobile phone with you. Take it with you, and keep your mobile phone turned on; try not to run around, although you don't have the time. And..."

Looking at the various reactions of his teammates, Yukimura felt a little emotional. [Liu really worked hard. ]

During the lunch break, Yukimura got up gently and left the hotel. He usually doesn't have the habit of taking a nap, and usually spends this time tending to them.

The environment around this hot spring hotel is very well arranged. If it is still November, the red leaves all over the eyes and the golden carpet of fallen leaves on the ground complement each other. It must be a fascinating place to go.It's a pity that the current scenery doesn't give him the urge to describe it.

Yukimura strolled by the hotel to admire, and then found the training ground that Liu said.

[Visual estimation is enough to accommodate two tennis courts. ] Yukimura circled around this small venue. [There is also some gravel and dust, and the surface of the hard court is not very smooth, which is indeed different from the standard hard court. ]

Yukimura took out a tennis ball and a racket to experiment.

[The bounce speed is slightly slower than the hard court, but the bounce angle is due to the irregular changes in the gravel and ground. This is more similar to a grass court, and the requirements for reaction ability, speed and skill are very high. ]

The tennis ball hit the ground repeatedly washed away the dust that was originally spread on the ground, leaving a round and clear imprint.

[It's very interesting.Just pay attention to safety issues. ]

Yukimura, who finished his investigation, looked up at the sky. [It's still early, let's play for a while. ]

At this time, Sanada, who was meditating in the hotel, felt a little uneasy.Although Yukimura had reported to him when he went out, but——

Sanada No. 11 opened his eyes and glanced at the clock. [It's already 02:30, why haven't you come back yet. ]

[Will something happen...]

Sanada couldn't meditate in this state, he got up suddenly, put on his hat and was about to go out.

"Sanada? We're going to gather soon, where are you going?"

"Yu, Yukimura—"

"Jingshi? He just contacted me and is already waiting for us at the training ground."

"...Really." Sanada pressed his hat.

"Ah, Jack is already waiting, you and I can go and wake Senior Maori and the others to get up."

"I see."

When Yixing Zhunzhengxuan arrived, Yukimura had already arranged the field. Except for the center line and no net, other things such as the sideline and bottom line were quite standard.

A group of people lined up, and Yukimura on the opposite side gestured to Liu.

"First, do a full warm-up for 10 minutes. Next, Marui, Nioh, and Yagyu will go around the field with weights for 10 minutes; Jack and Mori will do targeted ball training, and Yukimura will feed the ball; Sanada and I will have a team. Singles. In an hour..."

It was said to end at six o'clock, and it was already seven o'clock when everyone returned to the hotel in the evening.Nioh, who was being supported by Yagyu, looked at Marui, who was being supported by Kuwahara, and once again rejoiced for his decision to strike early.

[Yagyu is really a good partner. ]

With this kind of abnormal training intensity, no one would have the leisure to go outside to play, right?

No, except Yukimura.

Really not a monster?

"Let's go to the hot spring later!" After the meal, Marui patted his stomach, and looked at Yukimura expectantly with Mouri's expectant eyes.

"...Okay, everyone relax."

[Speaking of which, Yukimura looks weak, but he really shows off his figure after taking off his clothes. ] Marui, who was changing clothes, seemed to have twitched eyes, and couldn't stop looking at Yukimura.Of course, Marui is not the only one doing this.Among the seven people, three of them seemed to have their eyes glued to Yukimura's body, one was serious and did not look sideways, and the other three, although they tried their best to restrain themselves, still glanced in a certain direction from time to time.

[It seems that everyone still has the strength to focus on other things. ] Yukimura is not a shy little girl, just read it.Just staring at it made his unhappy mood drop again.

Yukimura, who had already changed, looked at Kamimarui with a half-smile: "You guys changed very slowly."

"..." Everyone withdrew their eyes and said nothing, and the speed of their hands became very fast.

"Ah~ It's comfortable." Marui yelled, submerging the part except the head under the water.

No one answered, everyone was enjoying a moment of leisure.

Only then did Sanada shift his gaze to Yukimura beside him.The dense mist rising from the hot spring made the fair-skinned Yukimura even more secretive.

[No one has ever been able to force out his cards. ] Even Sanada, who has been with Yukimura the longest, doesn't know what and how many of Yukimura's unique skills are, and the real limit is even more out of reach.

[Can I really defeat you one day? Yukimura. ]

Yukimura, who closed his eyes and rested his mind, suddenly moved, and Sanada, who was so frightened to see him in a daze, immediately retracted his gaze and straightened his sitting posture.

Sanada, who was sitting upright like in a Japanese room, Yukimura opened his eyes and saw such a scene.

He stretched out his left hand and poked Sanada's waist, Sanada exclaimed, "Yukimura!"

"Relax, Sanada, we're in a hot spring."

"……what!"

Everyone else heard the conversation, and no one opened their eyes.

Get used to it.

After soaking in the hot spring, the eight people gathered together in the Japanese room.

"Everyone behaved too badly today." Yukimura, who had changed into a lavender bathrobe, said suddenly, which made everyone nervous after being bathed in the winter hot spring.

"It's just that the bouncing of the ball is not as regular as the hard court, which makes your play so ugly. Especially you, Marui, have a clear offensive advantage against Jack, with so many unforced errors. It is a waste to jump up to hit a volley Physical strength, what's the use of jumping high, do you want to go to the sky?"

Marui Yan, who was called first, murmured with some grievances: "It's only three times..." The rest of the words were frightened back to his stomach by Yukimura's glance.

"And Nioh," the second named Nioh was looking at Marui's bitterness/forced appearance, and when he heard his name, the smirk on his lips froze immediately.

"It's okay to show off your skills. You can't even control your speed. The ball you hit seems to be warming up for me. Does it make you happy to send the ball to the opponent?"

"... puri."

Mori on the side twitched the corners of his mouth, not daring to vent his breath, when he saw Yukimura's eyes turned to him.He quickly lowered his head and put on an introspective look.

"As the only senior, Maori-san, he didn't correct his attitude either. He returned the ball softly, is this really helping me warm up? Should I thank Senior Maori?"

[You're welcome. ] Of course, Maori did not dare to say this.

Including Sanada, everyone was criticized by Yukimura Kazutsu, but the degree of poisonous tongue is not the same.

"Let me remind everyone again." Yukimura stood up and looked down at the people with their heads down. "Judging from the previous rankings in the internal points competition, you are either the regular picks to play next year, or the quasi-final picks as a reserve. I took over the position of minister from Mr. Fujiwara, so I will try my best to do my best for You have given everything to the glory of the Tennis Club of the High School Attached to Lihai University. You also took over the positions of the main candidates and quasi-candidates from your seniors, so please do what you should do for the main and quasi-candidates as the king of Lihai Put in some effort."

"Just enjoying being the strongest in Kanto and No. 1 in the country, careless during practice, and never touching my limit. Is it so self-satisfied because the qualifications beat other members who are equally assiduous?"

"There are more talented people than you. You don't need to compare with the whole world. You are not uncommon even in Japan. If you still have this attitude, I don't think there is any need to fight for the national championship next year. gone."

boom.

Yukimura went straight to another Japanese room to rest.

……

Marui, who drooped his head, sniffed and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves. Even though his movements were light, they were still clearly audible in the silent Japanese room.

Liu sighed lightly, and gave everyone a step down: "Xingcun is just not satisfied with everyone's performance today, not completely disappointed. So please work hard tomorrow."

"Everyone is too slack! Let's rest, we have a full day of training tomorrow."

"Yes!"

It seems that Yukimura's words are a bit heavy. In the next few days of training, everyone seems to compete with him, and they will not rest until they get down on the ground.

[Tsk, it seems that the excitement is a bit too much. ] Yukimura looked at Yagyu Nio and others who were paralyzed by the side of the field. Only Sanada and Kuwahara are currently rallying on the field.

[Tomorrow, I will control it a little bit, and I will give you a physical examination and conditioning when I go back. ] Yukimura picked up the racket and stopped the practice match: "Jack rests, Sanada will come and play with me."

Sanada and Yukimura played two sets, and Sanada also fell gloriously after the game.

Today, Nioh, who was helped back to the inn by Yagyu, looked at the sky gradually engulfed by darkness.

[On how I, Nioh Masaharu, spontaneously became an "M" shaker. ]

[In a sense, Yukimura is really a master at "teaching/teaching". ]

At the end of the training on the seventh day, Mao Li almost didn't set off firecrackers to celebrate. Of course, he just thought about it, and didn't even dare to put a happy expression on his face.

[Hmm~ Seniors, I miss you so much~ Yukimura is terrible T_T]

Marui, who was leaning against the car window, kneaded his stomach. [The mermaid line has been practiced, why can't I be happy at all ==]

Being leaned on by Nio, Yagyu, who experienced the "cruel reality" when he first entered the tennis club, pushed his second pair of glasses and sighed silently. [Am I cheated or cheated or cheated? ]

Yukimura was very happy. [Everyone has made great progress these days! ]

"This Hakone Aizuku seems to be very effective." Yukimura rubbed his chin, turned to look at Liu, "How about doing it again during the spring break?"

The car was quiet for a moment, Sanada pressed his hat, and was thinking of how to persuade him tactfully, Liu Xianyi calmly declined: "Xingcun, our bonus balance is running out."

"Eh? Is that so? What a pity."

[No regrets at all! ]X7

The author has something to say:

Okay, so far, I don’t know how many times Yukimura has set up the Flag... It feels so much, like a general on the stage.

I wrote a little theater.

Roof garden on a certain day——

Yukimura: Shiro~Shiro~Come on~

Sanada: Yukimura, Hana can't understand you...

Yukimura: ==Sanada.

Sanada: Shirou is awesome!Please never let up and grow up!
