[Net King] The Crown of Tennis

Ice Emperor Academy Tennis Club is being elected as a club.

"It looks like you haven't performed well in the practice match with us yet." Sweat dripped from his feet, and he tried to ignore the people shouting "It's Marui-kun", "Marui-kun is really good", "This trick is really super genius" Akutagawa.

"Well, the group of people in Lihai are very proud. They dare to wear weights to compete with our ice emperor." Atobe is not surprised by this, "It's really tricky. The overall combat power of Lihai this year has dropped compared to last year. A little bit, but the shortcomings of doubles seem to be made up."

"So what, our Ice Emperor is also very strong." Shishido was as passionate as ever, "Atobe, it's not like you to build up the ambition of others."

"Yes, my serve is also capable." Horo Chotaro, who had defeated Taki in the qualifying match just now and became the main pick, clenched his fists and supported Shishido's speech.

"Why, after getting hit twice by Sanada, you finally regained some confidence?"

"Atobe!" Xianghi next to Shinobu was innocently shot by an arrow again.

"Xiang Ri and I have already doubled our training, Atobe. We won't play so ugly this time!"

"...I said, the competition hasn't even started yet, so you're thinking about running into Lihai University?"

"That's not what you said, Shinozu. Do you think our Ice Emperor will fail to enter the Kanto Conference?" Shishido raised his head and analyzed, "From the collected information, there is no school in this year's Tokyo Metropolitan Competition that is as good as our Ice Emperor Are they comparable in strength? The only one worthy of being the Ice Emperor's opponent is Li Haida, the king of Kanto."

"Each school still has opponents at the national level." Ren Zuzu sat up straight, "Especially Tezuka from Youth Academy, it is said that he has been favored by professional tennis players."

"This is a team battle, a team battle."

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen any of Lihai's freshmen this year." Xiang Ri was flipping through Lihai University's playing order list, "I remember there was one during the practice match."

"You mean Kirihara-kun?" Shinozuzu's glasses flashed, and he began to introduce this first-year student who currently has little sense of existence, "He was quite famous in elementary schools in Kanagawa when he was in elementary school, and even some junior high school tennis clubs were overthrown by him. Woolen cloth."

"Ah? Can't tell at all." Xiang Ri tried hard to recall Kirihara's performance in the last doubles match. "Hmm...not very impressed."

"It stands to reason that Yukimura would not let go of the prefectural competition, which is an opportunity for freshmen to exercise, right?"

"Yes." Ninja shrugged, "It is said that Kirihara-kun was late and failed to catch up with their report submission and sign-in for the second round, and Yukimura directly suspended him."

"Ah, it's really not gorgeous. This kind of thing will never happen to us ice emperors, will it, Huadi?"

"Wush."

"Ha Qiu." Kirihara, who was swinging his racket, sneezed, and received the gaze of Yukimura, who was watching from the side. [cold?The weather is quite warm now, isn't it? ]

The atmosphere in Lihai, where the county contest had ended, was a little more relaxed, except for Kirihara, of course.Liu's additional training has stopped, and he offered to Yukimura for extra training because of the county competition, and he will be "taken care of" by Yukimura every day-in his review letter.

In the past few days, Yukimura has focused all his attention on Kirihara, for which everyone is both happy and jealous.The happy thing is that Yukimura no longer has to train him every day so that he can’t get up; the jealousy is that Yukimura treats Kirihara very well because of this. He doesn’t say anything about touching his head and wiping his face. The "point" skin was carried back by Yukimura!

#Sanada, Sanada, why don't you take the initiative at this time? #

#Is all your strength used to greet Kirihara's little head? #

At that time, everyone looked at Sanada with a look of hatred, and Sanada lowered his hat to express that he was also very wronged.He proposed, but was rejected by Yukimura.What Yukimura considers is that Sanada is too serious and speaks concisely.Such a leg injury still requires him, the minister and coach, to explain it to Mrs. Kirihara, and apologize by the way.

In short, Kirihara is in the double world of ice and fire every day, and the taste can't be said to be good or bad.

"I think he just enjoys it." Marui, who finished the basic training and was resting on the sidelines, stared straight at the coaching match between Yukimura and Kirihara, feeling lost. [Yukimura hasn't played a practice match with me for seven days...]

"Hmph, I'll go out to eat ramen without Chi in the future."

"..." Kuwahara didn't speak, but his heart was full of joy. [It's nice to be able to pay less for one person. ]

Kirihara, who started the routine of being "guided" today, is not in a good mood at the moment. He has indeed improved a lot in the past few days, and the strength displayed by Yukimura has also increased by the same rate.Every game has to be beaten by Yukimura, which can be said to be very aggrieved.

[The minister is such a monster...]

Yukimura did not play with a jacket on, which had a great impact on his performance.Except for foreign competitions, he only put on his coat in the first few weeks of school to give the freshmen a big shot, and let them see the majesty of the No. 1 king, Lihai.After all, the way of playing while wearing a coat cannot become a habit.

"Today is very good, the reaction speed is a bit faster." When Yukimura finished the match with Kirihara, the surrounding scene was already full of red.

Kirihara, who was still suffering from the beating before, was praised by Yukimura, and immediately threw his bad mood into the trash can: "Yes! Minister, I will work harder next time!"

Then Kuwahara, who was going to the dessert shop with Marui, was named by Yukimura, who was going to end up.

"Jack, come here for a second. I have something I want to talk about."

"Then, I'll go first, Yukimura."

"Ah."

[Bad feeling. ] Unsuspecting Kuwahara was shoved towards Yukimura "without hesitation" by Marui.

"Yukimura..." The members all went home one after another, leaving behind an empty tennis court and two reflections elongated by the setting sun.

[Am I so scary?Why does Jack look deathly...] Yukimura touched the corner of his mouth, thinking that his expression at this moment is quite gentle, right?

"I won't waste your time too much, Jack." Yukimura immediately got to the point, "To be honest, I think Kirihara in this state today has a high probability of beating you, let alone beating you in the practice match Liu Yu several times."

"I think your baseline counterattack threat is much worse than Yagyu's. Jack, don't you plan to change this?"

"...Sorry." Yukimura's words hit the nail on the head, forcing Kuwahara to face up to his flaws.For a long time, he has been used to defense, and he has given the power of offense to his most trusted Marui; in the usual singles, he also takes a defensive position to catch every ball, hoping that the opponent's physical strength will be exhausted and his state will decline to win.Kuwahara has been subconsciously ignoring his own shortcomings.

It's just not enough.Some people can defeat him quickly, including Marui.

"I don't know what to do, Yukimura..." His coach encouraged him and supported him, he shouldn't be so muddled.So, what to do.

[Ah——] Yukimura admitted that he paid too little attention to Kuwahara, or he has never paid attention to Kuwahara's problem.

From the perspective of basic ability, Kuwahara is not weak. Liu has set a targeted training menu for Kuwahara since the beginning of the country, and he has been trying to change it himself, but with little success.

Because the root of Kuwahara's problem is not his ability, but his own lack of strong offensive awareness.

In addition, the concentration is not very strong, and the mentality is easily affected by the outside world.To sum it up, it's that his mental strength problem is serious, and it's easy to collapse in singles.

Therefore, even if Kuwahara's consciousness is forcibly reversed, it is easy to make unforced errors, which Yukimura cannot bear.

At times like this, Yukimura misses Fukuyama's tricky old fox very much.

No matter how prompted, a person's style of play still has to be understood by himself.Yukimura tapped the palm of his left hand lightly with the racket frame, and gave Kuwabara a little suggestion: "If you have time, how about going to the archery club to experience it?"

"Yeah...I see..."

After thinking about it, Yukimura took Kuwahara to the club to play a three-set match.

It didn't take long for Yukimura to spend time, and Kuwahara's defense quickly collapsed, and he was honored to be a member of the crowd who was beaten and cried by Yukimura.Only then did Kuwahara realize that Yukimura was not joking when he said that playing a practice match with them was equivalent to a warm-up, and the one-on-two with him and Marui was indeed as easy as it appeared.

"The qualifying competition will start soon. I don't care if you are really pulled down from the main selection position, Jack."

"Yes!"

Satisfied, Yukimura arrived home following the eight o'clock order.

"Did you eat out again this time?"

"Yes, I'm sorry, but some things have to be sorted out at the Ministry. Worrying you, mother."

"Okay." An Ji felt very helpless about her eldest son's responsibilities in the tennis club, just like she felt helpless about Yukimura's obsession with tennis when she was a child.

One or two people in the family were worried, An Ji cast a glance at Ming Hao who was leaning on the sofa and watching TV comfortably.

[...Why am I the one lying down? ]

The Kanagawa prefectural competition is over, and the Tokyo metropolitan competition will follow.

"willow."

"Genichiro?" Liu had already obtained Yukimura's approval to go to watch the game of the Tokyo Tournament.

"I'll go with you."

"..." Liu looked sideways at Yukimura who was having a practice match with Kirihara, "Is this okay?"

"As the deputy minister, it is still necessary for me to investigate the performance of some of Tokyo's rivals." Sanada lowered his hat.

Liu thought about it, and went to ask Marui about some matters.

"Let's go then."

It was still early when Liu and Sanada arrived, and the audience of the Metropolitan Competition was larger and more enthusiastic than the County Competition.Cheerleaders from many schools have already assembled, intending to cheer for their teams.

"Xianichiro?" Ice Emperor had a good record last year, and the first round of this year's knockout round is on the second court, which is also where Liu will go.But Sanada seems to have other goals.

"I'm going to watch Tezuka's game."

"Tezuka..." Liu acquiesced to Sanada's move.He heard Yukimura mention Tezuka, and he remembered that it was the last year of elementary school. Sanada, who won No.2 in the JR competition, lost to Tezuka, without a game.Liu was shocked when he heard it.

【It's a good opponent. ] Yukimura gave a very high evaluation.However, it was not mentioned again after that.On the contrary, the praise of Atobe is more frequent.Liu wondered if Yukimura had any friendship with Atobe in private.

There is indeed—the friendship between friends who are not worrying about each other in the ministry.

When Sanada arrived at the third court, he immediately saw Tezuka in a blue and white team uniform and gold-rimmed glasses.

[Tezuka, what is your strength now? ] After defeating Fukuyama, Sanada's next goal is Tezuka, and after Tezuka was promoted to the second year of junior high school and became famous day by day, his mood became more urgent.In his dreams, he wanted to fight Tezuka again, so as to wash away the shame of being cut to zero that day.

In the first two games of Qing Xue, he had one win and one loss. In singles, San Tezuka played and won easily.

[It's not much progress from two years ago. ] Sanada frowned, apparently Tezuka's current performance did not meet his expectations.

Without looking any further, Sanada went to No. [-] field to look for Liu.

"3-0 easy promotion, this year's Ice Emperor has stabilized."

"Ice Emperor is not Rikkai's opponent." In the entire Ice Emperor team, the only person Sanada has eyes for is Minister Atobe.

"Next, it seems that Hyotei and Youth Academy will meet in the semi-finals. I don't know who Tezuka will meet at the national level." Liu put away his notebook and went to have lunch with Sanada.

The author has something to say:

A ramen restaurant on a certain day——

Marui: Ah~ Fortunately, we installed a shower room, otherwise it would be too bad to eat ramen in sweat.

Kirihara: Marui-senpai, you smell like bubblegum fruit even after taking a shower, unlike the minister, you have a faint floral fragrance on your body.

Marui & Kuwahara: How do you know? !

Kirihara: Hey, the minister told me that smell.

Marui: [The tears shed now are the water in my head back then! ]

Kuwahara: [I don’t want to invite Chiya for this meal of ramen. ]

The original book Echizen is the first first-year main election, that is to say, Tezuka’s first-year grade is not yet the main election...

Bug1: According to the plot, Atobe and Tezuka should have never fought before the national three-part battle, but the data also said that Tezuka defeated the Minister of Heidei at the Second Metropolis Conference, and in the ova Atobe Kunichi was the Minister of Heidei .

warning: Bingdi and Lihai are the champions and runners-up in the Kanto Competition of the second year of junior high school, and Qingxue is fourth.In other words, Lihai and Bingdi, Qingxue will definitely meet one.The information doesn't seem to say that Qingxue and Bingdi met again.And when Kirihara went to Qinggaku, he said that his senior had lost to Tezuka (note the title, not the vice-minister).According to Sanada's character, he would never publicize that his elementary school was defeated by Tezuka, and Yukimura would definitely not talk too much, so I think it was the encounter between Lihai and Qingxue in the Kanto competition of the second year of junior high school (and only at this time can they meet) Above), except Kirihara, a senior who lost to Tezuka, Lihai crushed.

The above is part of the basis for my arrangement of the Kanto Competition below.declare here.
