[Net King] The Crown of Tennis

"This year's freshmen are not good at all." Yukimura tapped the member activity sheet in his hand anxiously, "More than half of them have retired in just one week."

[Is Lihai really "inherited from generation to generation"? ]

"Indeed, and it is expected that some people will withdraw from the department in the future. Only 6.7%~13.4% of all freshmen will remain."

"There are no rookies who make people shine, and there are no tennis veterans with solid skills." Sanada stated the facts aside.

"This year's freshmen selection competition will be rated as six."

"I see."

"Speaking of which, the rookie named Kirihara is actually pretty good, although his discipline is problematic." Sanada pointed out to Yukimura.

[It’s not bad, it’s quite similar to when you were a child. ] Yukimura glanced at the expressionless Sanada: "As I said, he has to pass this level by himself."

"It's harsh, Yukimura." After the quasi-election meeting, Marui and Kuwahara finished their training and left school.

"Because he is also full of expectations for this first-year student. I remember that Yukimura also made a challenge to the then minister Fujiwara-senpai on the first day he joined the club." Marui shrugged indifferently, "Today's limit should be snatched up. , let's go to the video game city to play for a while."

"Okay." Kuwahara didn't refute.

Marui who walked into the video game city suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Mrs. Wen?"

"Isn't that Kirihara? That freshman."

"really……"

"What, you still want to play video games after losing?" Marui walked across to Kirihara.

Kirihara only felt that things were not going well recently. First, the tennis club suffered a disastrous defeat to a very handsome second grader, then he lost his way in school and was reprimanded by the experimental teacher, and then he failed the quiz and was detained every day.

Kirihara looked at the KO character in his computer, and couldn't help but tap the machine. "I'm going! Even the game is lost!" He poked his head out to look at the opposite side: "Who is it, that one named 'Wenwen'."

"Yo, it's me." Marui walked up to Kirihara, pointed at himself with a smile.

Kirihara was stunned for a moment, then turned around: "Stay away from me, I will never enter the tennis club."

"What, are you still minding what happened that day?" Marui looked at the tsundere boy sitting down with arms folded, and couldn't help but go up and stroke his messy black curly hair. [It feels so good, he seems to be shorter than me! ]

Kirihara immediately slapped Marui's hand away, and couldn't help being curious: "Who is that person, is it true that I can't even enter the main election?"

"Of course—" Kuwahara, who was about to affirm, was squeezed away by Marui: "Ah, it's hard to talk here, let's go eat ramen together."

"..."

"Why do you look so disgusted? We are treating guests, and this brother Jack is the only one who invites you."

"Why me!"

"hey-hey."

After the three of them had almost eaten, Marui patted his stomach, took out a magazine, opened the page with the photo of Li Haizhengxuan winning the championship last year, and pointed at Kirihara.

"Among these eight people, there are four third-year seniors who have graduated this year; one second-year senior; and three first-years. They are called the 'Big Three' because of their performance in the national competition last year."

"……what the hell."

"You saw it too," Marui pointed to Yukimura in the middle, "This is the one who defeated you, the minister of our King Likai, Yukimura Seichi."

"Yukimura, like you, challenged the then minister at the beginning of school," Marui pointed to Fujiwara in the photo, "He succeeded, so he is our minister."

"!" Kirihara was a little excited at this moment. "That is to say, if I defeat him, I can become a minister?!"

"This is Lihai's rule, but you can't win." Marui shrugged. "Do you know how Yukimura became famous?"

"He played against a national-level player at that time, Minister Sehara of Lion Music, and his strength was crushed so that the opponent gave up halfway, and he never wanted to touch a tennis racket. He had a very accurate view of a person's tennis strength So Yukimura said that you don't have the strength to become the main candidate now, then you don't have it, let alone defeat him."

"I don't care about that!" Kirihara stood up, carrying the tennis bag on his back, "It's also a junior high school student, if he can do it, why can't I!"

"Just wait, I will win him and become the minister of King Lihai!"

"Hey..." Marui still has something to say, such as who is the default choice now, so you can still have a chance to be the right choice if you work hard... It's just that Kirihara has already run away.

"What, it's so easy?"

"But he doesn't mean it, does he?"

"Ha, Jack, are you serious?"

Golden Day of the third week.

Yukimura pinched the score sheet of the freshman selection list, and couldn't laugh: "The six qualifying freshmen are not good enough. They only got eliminated by low scores in the main selection competition. Not bad."

"Maybe it's because Yukimura and you have produced too many monsters this year..." [Okay, I shut up. ]

Thinking of Kirihara, Liu sighed: "There is still a single seedling."

"You mean Akiya Kirihara?" Yukimura turned sideways to find Kirihara's information, "The talent is indeed good, but the mental power is very poor."

"It's easy to cheat, piyo."

[I knew it. ] Liu Sheng covered his face silently. [It may not be too easy to deceive. ]

"Kirihara is alright," Marui said kindly to Kirihara, "We met him before, and he also said that he would defeat Yukimura and take our Likai's ministerial position."

[...Are you sure you didn't add fire to Kirihara?Wen Tai. ] Kuwahara was speechless.

Sanada's face darkened immediately: "It's full of big talk!"

There was a commotion outside the door.

A member knocked on the door: "Minister, last time the freshman named Chiya Kirihara sent a letter of challenge and wanted to challenge you again."

"Challenge letter?" Kuwahara by the door took the origami and handed it to the Big Three. Sanada took a look and said, "There are a lot of typos!"

"Tsk, leave it to me." He couldn't hold back, picked up the tennis racket and went out.

"..." The people left behind looked at Yukimura.

"Let's go and have a look, the meeting is suspended."

Kirihara on the tennis court was waiting for Minister Yukimura, and when he saw Sanada coming out, he was a little dissatisfied: "Who are you, I want to challenge——"

"Shut up." Sanada took off his coat, "I am Genichiro Sanada, the vice minister. If you want to challenge the minister, let me see if you have the qualifications."

"Qi."

"Is that okay? That kid wants to challenge you, Jingshi?"

"It's okay, it's not good to hit too much."

"Kirihara first."

Snapped.

"The serving speed has increased by 25.1% compared with last time, it seems that a lot of effort has been made."

"So what, such a high promotion rate also shows that his baseline is still too low."

Sanada on the field is also somewhat disapproving.

"Hmph, I haven't used my full strength yet, just watch." Kirihara hit the ball back.

"It's too slow." Sanada scored with a high-speed ball. "It's as fast as the wind."

"A trick so soon?" Marui spat out a mouthful of bubbles.

"After Yukimura, this year's freshman will be abused by Sanada again. Piyo."

"It's true that if it goes on like this, Kirihara won't win—wait a minute?" Liu paused.

A row of quasi-finalists looked at Kirihara in the field, and saw that his eyes were gradually covered with bloodshot eyes, and his body also became a little red.

"Puri, can you explain a little bit, Yagyu?"

"...This sudden red eye symptom may be caused by elevated blood pressure." Yagyu, who was named, speculated, "It's better to go for a checkup."

Although everyone off the court was a little worried, Kirihara on the court became more and more excited, and he served again.

[Tsk, this rotation. ] Yukimura raised his eyebrows.

The side-spin ball bounced straight for Sanada's face, and Sanada, surprised, dodged and lost his first point.

"This ball..." Sanada looked at Kirihara on the opposite side.

Kirihara licked his dry lips, and the point he scored made him regain some confidence: "I will crush you!"

"It's better not to talk big." Sanada held the racket and received Kirihara's serve, and the two became deadlocked.

[Can't bear it anymore? ]

"Aggression like fire!" The strong force directly bounced Kirihara's racket away.

Kirihara moved his hands that were numb from the shock, and was forced to calm down.

"Why, don't you fight?"

"It's still early!" Kirihara picked up the racket.

"Let's stop here." Yukimura called to stop the game.

"What, I can still—"

"Enough is enough, Kirihara-kun." Yukimura signaled Liu to check on Kirihara's status, "Even if you are indeed better than before, it is still unknown whether you will be able to win the main election."

"I—what are you doing?" Kirihara wanted to avoid Liu's right hand stretched towards his face, but Marui and Kuwahara grabbed it firmly.

"If you really want to challenge this much, join the tennis club. You have plenty of opportunities to compete with us." [How, Renji. ]

"It has disappeared, it seems that we need to check it."

Kirihara broke away from Marui and Kuwahara. "Check what, I'm not sick."

He shouted to Sanada: "I joined the tennis club, but I didn't admit that I lost, just wait."

"Hey... run so fast again." Marui scratched his head nervously.

"... Renji, Kirihara's situation—"

"Ah, I'll investigate."

Yanagi, Yukimura, and Sanada explained the situation during the Japanese club training: "Kiryu has a family history of hypertension. His blood pressure is 90mmHg systolic and 150mmHg diastolic, completely reaching the first-grade hypertension. I discussed it with Yagyu. This red-eye state should be caused by Kirihara's high concentration, high-intensity exercise and violent mood changes, which caused blood pressure to rise again."

"Tsk, how can you play tennis with this physical condition." Sanada's tone softened.

"This... Kirihara wants to play tennis and we have nothing to do."

"Forget it, let him join the club, we can pay attention to it." Yukimura and Sanada looked at each other.

"Understood, I will pay attention." Liu hesitated, then turned the information book to Yukimura, "There is one more question, Mrs. Kirihara also expressed concern."

"Kirihara's grades are also... a bit dangerous."

"It's so lax!"

"..." Yukimura closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "This is really a single seedling with many disasters."

He thought of the "Various Flowers" campaign that had just ended. As a hard-working gardener, he still had to take good care of this kelp-like seedling, didn't he?

The author has something to say:

Insurance is bought before sports competitions.However, if a player is injured, the school, the coach, and the minister are responsible for the injury. Parents will make trouble.I don't know how the national conditions in Japan are, so I will develop according to my own experience.

I have to say that the parents of Qingxue are really big-hearted.

After a certain day's training——

Marui: Every day I feel like I'm going to collapse on the tennis court and never get back...

Nioh: puri, today seems to be a limited-season pomegranate cupcake——

Marui: What!

Yukimura: (Yuanwang) Oh, I still have the strength to run.

Sanada: Add another [-] laps next time!
