[Net King] The Crown of Tennis

In the spirit of sharing weal and woe, all the quasi-candidates expressed their strong support for Yukimura's new training menu after returning, and promised to supervise the completion of the members.

Then everyone in the Lihai Tennis Club fell into "dire straits" - including the spring break period.

Ordinary members still have time to rest, but quasi-selected members don’t have much time during the day. Conscious ones like Sanada and Nioh still take care of their studies when they go back at night, while unconscious ones like Marui are in a worse situation.

Minister Yukimura, who was very satisfied with everyone's performance, mercifully gave everyone a half-day off the day before the start of school, and kindly reminded Marui who seemed to have never thought of vacation homework.

"!"

"Wentai, wait for me."

So Marui looked particularly sluggish early the next morning. [Fortunately, there is no need for morning training on the first day of school every year...]

Marui, who was squinting and sleepy, was shaken by a gust of cold wind. He looked curiously at the dark green figure running away. [Are you a freshman this year?Tennis bag? ]

Qie Yuanchi, an energetic young man who was running all the way to the school gate in the early morning of school, was in stark contrast to the lackluster students. He also attracted the attention of countless people within a few minutes, including several people who noticed him. Tennis club seniors with tennis bags on their backs.

And what he did next caught everyone's attention.

Back then, he worked so hard to get into this famous private school——Lihai High School Affiliated to Lihai University.

Full of excitement, the soul of Kirihara's youth in middle school was ready to move. He didn't stop when he reached the school gate, but stepped up the wall of the gate with momentum.

"Hey." There were exclamations everywhere.

The boy Kirihara said "Hey", he stood up straight and looked at the teaching building in front of him: "From today onwards, I will be a first-year student in the High School Affiliated to Lihai University—"

At this time, the "Big Three" of Lihai University, who came to the school early to discuss matters, happened to pass by the side corridor and saw the young man who was attracting crowds at the school gate.

"At this school, join the No. 1 tennis club in the country." Kirihara was full of enthusiasm, "I want to become NO.[-]!"

"Hey~ I'm looking forward to it." Yukimura chuckled, watching Kirihara being scolded by the teacher who also walked to the school gate, and jumped off the fence.

"There is no discipline at all!" Sanada, who has joined the Disciplinary Department, reflexively said.

"Don't be like this, Sanada. Sometimes you have to understand the impulsiveness of teenagers."

"……Humph."

Liu thought something in his heart. [Are we young people too? ]

Afternoon training.

Marui and Kuwahara, who were arranged by Yukimura to recruit new students, looked at the long queue in front of the registration office and compared the situation with last year.

"How is it, Jack?" Marui asked Kuwahara, who brought the list to check, "The status of the new students' admission."

"It's about three times that of last year."

"What, is there such a big difference between Quasi Yukatsu and Yukatsu?" Marui muttered. "However, there seems to be no one who is really willing to join."

"That's right, most of them joined at will without knowing the situation, probably for the title of champion." Kuwahara shook his head, "After the formal training, a large number of people have to be persuaded to leave."

Marui thought of being inspired by the school gate in the morning to become Lihai's No. 1 freshman with curly hair. "Speaking of which, that guy didn't come?"

"Which one?"

"Hey, that's the one who yelled 'I want to be NO.1' at the school gate." Marui imitated Kirihara's tone and couldn't help laughing.

Kuwahara seemed to recall it too, and smiled helplessly: "Ah, there are still such little idiots."

Kirihara, who was mentioned, sneezed and continued with his detention and copying work.

"Really." [Why do you want to learn English!Why is there an exam on the first day!Registration for the tennis club is running out! ]

In fact, Yukimura has been waiting for the freshman who is said to be No. 1 to challenge him, but he just waits and waits for no one to come.

[Stop talking and run away? ]

"Minister Yukimura, the newly ordered indoor ball machine has arrived, and Liu seems to be absent..."

"Okay, I see." Yukimura took the list and walked towards the indoor court.

At this time, Kirihara had just been let go by the teacher, and was running around the school looking for a tennis court.

"Ah~ Totally late."

Nioh just finished training the basic part, and planned to sneak over the wall to meet the seniors at the party before Yukimura asked for additional training, and Sanada and Liu were away. [Really, Senior Maori slipped away so fast. ]

Kirihara's eyes lit up, and he called Nio who was wearing a team uniform: "Hey, you're from the tennis club. Can you tell me where the court is?"

After Nioh turned around, he found that it was the natural first-year student who had spoken boldly at the school gate this morning.With a smirk in his heart, he "shows the way" to Kirihara.

"Oh, puri."

Kirihara didn't care about the unreliability of the Tennis Club Office in the teaching building, and opened the door straight away: "Sorry, I'm late!"

Everyone in the classroom looked up at Kirihara at the door. Yagyu, the first seat, pushed his glasses and asked politely, "Huh? Do you have anything to do with the students?"

Kirihara ignored the door number outside the classroom, and looked surprised: "Hey! Student Council? Is this the Student Council?"

"Indeed."

"It's so strange." Kirihara rubbed his curly hair, very puzzled.

[... You must be looking for someone to find your way, right? ] Liu Sheng saw the tennis bag behind him, and timely rescued the elementary school boy: "It must be someone's prank."

"There are really people who are so troublesome." [I can believe that you are very innocent because the tennis club is in the office building. ]

Kirihara, who was once again guided by the kind-hearted Yagyu, turned back again: "You bastard, you really know where to go."

"I will never let you go!"

Kirihara, who made a big circle around the middle of the country, finally found a tennis court near the place where he met Nioh.Registration for the Tennis Club has ended.

Kirihara looked into the tennis court, and when he was feeling annoyed, his right shoulder was tapped twice.When he turned his head, the right cheek happened to be poked by an index finger.

"Eh?" Kirihara realized that there was someone behind him, and jumped back in fright, "What are you doing!"

Marui handed Kirihara a piece of paper.

"Is this what you're looking for?"

"Application for admission?"

"Mmmmm~"

"Ah! That's it!" Kirihara took the application form with both hands, put it in his pocket, and introduced himself to Marui and Kuwahara who followed him: "I am Kirihara Akaya from the first grade."

Kirihara proudly put his left hand on his hip, and pointed his right index finger to the sky: "The super star of the Tennis Club of the High School Affiliated to Lihai University! The legendary Kirihara is me!"

Seeing Kirihara pointing at himself triumphantly, Marui laughed out loud.

"Hey, don't you know me?"

"It's so strange, I'm still worried that everyone will know about my affairs in the elementary school circle."

Kuwabara secretly thought that Yukimura and the others should be back soon, and reminded the first graders in front of them: "Let's talk about the funny things later, go to the room to change clothes, and then go to the field for repeated swing training."

Kirihara didn't appreciate it.

"Huh? Swing? Are you kidding me? Call your strongest guy out, I'm going to fight him."

"..."

"I'm still waiting to become NO.1."

Marui pulled down Kuwahara, who was going to take Kirihara to change clothes, and said to the field: "You go, play two games first."

Kirihara obediently ran to the tennis court to provoke him.

After Yukimura packed up the new ball machine, he just came back from the indoor court and met Sanada and Yanagi, when he heard Kirihara shouting: "What, it's surprisingly easy to become No. 1."

[tsk. ]

"What are you all doing here?" Yukimura walked towards the stadium full of people, and the members on both sides made way for them.Yukimura was wearing a jacket, followed by Sanada and Yanagi, their straight hair fluttering in the breeze—the appearance of the three was particularly imposing.

Then Yukimura saw the third-year senior who was lying on the ground and Kirihara on the other side.

"Minister Yukimura...Deputy Director Sanada...Yanagi..."

"I'm defeated, senpai." There was a sense of disappointment in Yukimura's tone.

"...Sorry." Jin Chuan, a third-year student, felt that he had nothing to refute, so he stood up and stepped aside.

"That freshman, what are you doing there?" Sanada couldn't help asking.

"What am I doing? It's clear at a glance. Just now I overwhelmed the tennis team, and I'm NO.1 now."

Sanada frowned, facing Kirihara: "What did you say?"

Kirihara felt embarrassed and scratched his face. "But the number one in the country, can you have a stronger one? Don't underestimate people."

Yukimura, who was sulking about the battle just now, raised a smile and looked at Kirihara: "It seems that I won't teach you a lesson."

"Why do I have to challenge you guys in the second grade? I—"

"Shut up," Sanada was about to get the racket, but was stopped by Yukimura.He took the racket handed over by Marui: "I am NO.1 in the Tennis Club of the High School Affiliated to Lihai University. If you want to challenge, come here."

"I really can't see it. How about this? Your coat."

"Let's just play a short seven-ball game, how about it." Yukimura didn't answer Kirihara's question, and didn't wait for him to answer his own question, and went straight to the bottom line.

"Qi." Kirihara, who was still immature, curled his lips and went to the baseline to serve.

He was delighted to be cut to zero by Yukimura.

"Do you want to challenge King Lihai's No.1 at this level?" Yukimura in front of the net looked down at Kirihara who was kneeling on the ground, "Don't say No.1, you can't even enter the main election. Who gave it Your self-confidence makes you underestimate Li Haida, the [-]th consecutive champion in Kanto?"

After finishing speaking, Yukimura glanced around: "On the first day of school, everyone watched the theater very much."

The members of the second and third grades immediately turned to training, and the short ones of the first grades were quite conspicuous.

Kirihara, who was ignored by Yukimura, pursed his lips, resisted the tears that were rolling in his eyes, swiped away Marui who wanted to comfort him, and ran away on his own.

"Is this okay, Seiichi." Liu felt that Yukimura's words were a bit harsh.

"I want to be number one and enjoy the feeling of winning, but I am not ready to fail and dare not bear the consequences of failure. How can there be such a good thing." Yukimura signaled Sanada to practice with him. "If he can't even get over this hurdle, then he will be like that."

"Indeed, very capricious." Sanada nodded in agreement.

The author has something to say:

small theater------
