[Net King] The continuation of the dream

How should you react when you suddenly encounter a situation where you lose all five senses?

fear?Panic?

For a moment, Sunset and Xiwu were dazed.

Similar to fantasy.He has a general understanding of this type of tennis technique. Different people have different moves, and the principles are not the same... The technique that Yukimura Seichi is currently using may be to cause physical paralysis of the opponent by imposing some means on the tennis ball. And psychological pressure, which eventually leads to the elimination of the five senses.

Before today, Sun Mu Xi Wu knew about this special skill of using mental power to suppress opponents, but it was difficult to understand, but now he really felt the horror of it.

What's scary is not the darkness that can't see the edge, nor is it just because of the suffocating silence.

It just stems from a kind of bewilderment—that is the bewilderment hidden in the deepest part of my heart, which may be difficult to detect at ordinary times—the lingering will, the determination to be questioned by myself, and the hope that there is nothing to deny.

The slightest emotion, the severity is not enough, but at this moment, it is piled up like a mountain of dust, oppressing the spirit heavily, and it is difficult to get rid of.

... A little bit of despair suddenly appeared.

It was as if there was a voice in my heart, repeatedly persuading me to give up—just admit defeat like this, persistence is meaningless, and it is useless to continue.

Higurashi Yukiri took a deep breath, trying his best to ease the discomfort... He didn't forget that he was in a match with Yukimura Seiichi, so everything he felt now was still the result of the opponent's moves.

——Go all out.This is what he promised from the very beginning, and only by doing this minimum can he respect his opponent's due performance.Moreover, even if it is useless, hard work and persistence will not be meaningless, at least in his mind, the value of a tennis game has never been limited to winning and winning.

So relying on intuition, he slowly raised his right hand that had lost touch.

Although after some adjustments, Sunset and Xiwu felt a lot better, but the mental oppression still existed, and there was no way to break the current state of insensibility for a while.

Tentatively making a posture of returning the ball, the young man from Kyoto suddenly stopped his movements.

--Or not!

Afterwards, he closed his eyes and imagined the scene when he was blindfolded practicing archery: it doesn't matter if he can't see, it doesn't even matter if there is no sound... Although the touch is not sensitive, he still understands that the tennis racket is at least still in his hand.

The state of mind is extremely quiet.

The picture of the 23.77m*8.23m tennis court clearly appeared in his mind, the criss-crossing sidelines, centerlines and endlines, the position, size and height of the net...Finally, the position where his opponent Seiichi Yukimura was standing before he lost his vision was frozen pose with the lead shot.

Seiichi Yukimura took all the reactions of the sunset and evening fog into his field of vision, and witnessed the young man in Kyoto from being helpless at the beginning, to fumbling and trying to counterattack and failing one after another, to the gradual and orderly attack and defense at this moment...

There was a subtle change in the expression on that handsome face that couldn't see any thoughts.

——It’s really interesting.

Perhaps because of this momentary distraction, even though he reacted in time, the fast-moving tennis ball barely bounced after it hit the ground, rubbing the ground and rolling out of the boundary line.

Yukimura Seiichi glanced at the ground that was rubbed by a ball just now, which seemed to be almost smoking, and then turned his gaze back to his opponent - the gentle boy looked completely embarrassed, however, his always gentle face at this moment Ning Su has an awe-inspiring aura, his entire aura is like a fully stretched bow, steady as before, and as quiet as a deep abyss.

This kind of dusk and evening mist already somewhat overlaps with the amazing young man on the field in memory.

The blue-haired boy couldn't help smiling, and the tennis racket in his hand didn't relax a little.

The young man from Kyoto, who should not be able to see anything, was able to accurately hit the tennis ball back... The strength shown has surpassed his previous level, and the skills contained in it have begun to have the memory of Yukimura Seiichi a few years later. The prototype of the move.

It is a "feeling" that makes people feel amazing and incredible.

"Feeling" is the name of the stunt that others generally name for the skills that Sunset and Xiwu perform on the tennis court.

When watching the game of Higurashi Yugiri, Yukimura Seichi thought this "feeling" was very interesting.

Although the meaning of the name is similar to his five senses or sixth sense, the essence is completely different.

What Sunset and Xiwu used was neither hallucination nor magical use of mental power. Under such a "feeling", the opponent's tennis ball seemed to be integrated into his tennis ball, so that the next ball would always be missed. The first step is broken, and then the game of two people becomes the only pure strategy game dominated and dominated by him alone.

It sounds mysterious, but in the final analysis it is the perfect display and flexible use of tennis skills.

Not perfect, but better than perfect.

Back to the matchups currently in progress.

Higaku, who has temporarily lost his five senses, seems to be very adaptable to the current situation, and seems to have regained his original rhythm. Compared with the steady and conservative style of play in the normal state, the current style of play is more refined and seeks to hit every hit, with ease in offense and defense. And by surprise.

Therefore, the situation of the game no longer presents a situation of unilateral complete suppression.

only……

Sunset and Xiwu, whose eyes were still closed, hit a ball back, and then paused slightly. Although he still couldn't see it, and he didn't need others to tell him, he already knew the mistake of the ball just now... After all, playing with "feeling" like this The methods and techniques of tennis are still far from mature.

Out of bounds again.

——meaning that in this final round, even though the score was tied several times, he still lost.

Seiichi Yukimura won 6-0 against Higurashi Yugiri.

Ri Mu Xi Wu let out a long breath, and slowly moved his fingers... The feeling of numbness indicates that the sense of touch is recovering.

He opened his eyes, but there was still darkness in front of him.

When the senses are not sharp, even the passage of time is somewhat blurred.

"……How about it?"

I don't know how long it took, when I heard this question at dusk and evening, the young man's voice gradually became clearer in my ears, as if from far to near.Then he felt that the arm that had probably regained consciousness was being supported, and subconsciously smiled: "Ookini."

"How are you feeling, Xiao Xi?"

"Fortunately."

"Your eyes don't seem to be able to see..."

The young man from Kyoto blinked his eyes: "It's just that I don't know very well, it will be fine after a while."

After the five senses completely returned to normal, Higurashi Yugi held the water that Yukimura Seichi bought for him, and said solemnly: "Xingmura-kun, I really trouble you today."

Although he lost badly, after this game, he was once forced to a desperate situation by the opponent, and his tennis skills have made breakthroughs and improvements.

Most importantly, after experiencing the mental suppression of being deprived of the five senses, he has become more and more clear about his heart towards tennis.

Yukimura Seichi chuckled: "I thought Xiao Xi would think my tennis skills were terrible."

"How could it be?" Ri Mu Xi Wu shook his head without hesitation, turned to understand the meaning of the other party, and said in a gentle voice, "Although I felt a little... helpless when I was temporarily deprived of my five senses, the reason for this situation It's because my level is not enough, and there are big loopholes in my mentality... Thanks to Yukimura-kun, that move really sharpens people." After a pause, he let out a heartfelt admiration, "Xukimura-kun's tennis There really is no dead end."

It has to be said that the deeper his contact with Yukimura Seiichi, the more he admires and respects this person.Especially after today's duel, he can fully understand his sister's reverence for his minister.

Yukimura Seichi smiled and rubbed the short short hair of the Kyoto boy: "Oh, Xiao Xi doesn't have to worship me so much."

"……what."

Ri Mu Xi Wu reluctantly responded, and couldn't help but also laughed.

"Where are you going next?"

"I want to go to a sporting goods store," Higurashi Yugiri asked after answering, "Where's Yukimura-kun?"

"It just so happens that I'm going there too." Yukimura Seichi replied with a smile, "Let's go together, Xiao Xi."

"Ah." Sunset and Xiwu had no objection, glanced at the time by accident, and spoke again, "I said before that I would like to invite Mr. Xingcun to eat grilled fish. I wonder if it is possible today?"

Yukimura Seichi was surprised at first, then smiled and shook his head: "I appreciate Xiao Xi's kindness, but the idea of ​​treating guests is just a joke."

"...I know." The young man in Kyoto was a little embarrassed, "I happen to have a coupon from Yuan's House, and it doesn't cost a little... His grilled fish is pretty good."

Even Yukimura Seiichi was a little speechless: "How many coupons do you have?"

Ri Mu Xi Wu thought about it carefully, and said: "There are not many that can be used now. There are only about [-] hospitality coupons and discount cards, and only seven or eight of them are all free."

Yukimura Seichi: "..."

"They are all rewards for participating in the competition?"

"It's not true," Himu and Xiwu blushed slightly, "Some were given by family members, and some were given by me just when I happened to meet the store's event..." It was a small sequelae left over from earning money in Xinyetian Bar.

Yukimura Seichi couldn't help laughing: "It seems that Xiao Xi's luck has always been good." His tone changed, "In this case, I'm not welcome, go to the sporting goods store before going to Yuanzhijia."
