Draw a card? Draw a card? !

"What are you doing?" Su Tang sighed deeply.

"Teach Ryoma how to hit the glowing ball."

Echizen Ryuya explained briefly, walked up to Su Tang, took out a bottle of drink from her arms, unscrewed the cap unceremoniously, and drank half of the bottle with his head raised.

"Ah! Cool!" He squinted his eyes comfortably.

Su Tang didn't stop him, he took out an unopened bottle, shook Long Ma, "Drink?"

"Thank you senior, then I'll be impolite." The young boy Qingyue's voice contained a trace of dryness, obviously thirsty.

"You're welcome." Su Tang waited for Ryoma to finish drinking before asking, "Glowing ball? The one at Byodoin?"

At this time, she also noticed that the tennis racket in Ryoma's hand was not a conventional athlete's racket. There were only two net cables on the entire surface of the racket, which crossed in the middle in a "cross shape".

"The racket is fun."

Long Ma swallowed the drink in his mouth, handed the racket to Su Tang, and asked her to take a closer look.

"He said, if I can use this racket proficiently, I will be able to realize it."

he?

Su Tang blinked, looked at the other person present, Echizen Ryuya spread his hands, and smiled helplessly and dotingly.

Su Tang also slightly moved the corner of his mouth.

These two brothers are really, really interesting.

"Then have you realized it, Ryoma?" Su Tang asked.

"Ah, it's almost there." Ryoma raised his head slightly, and the cat's eyes were shining with eager light.

Su Tang let out a long "hmm—" and tilted his head to look at the ruined stadium.

"But you guys will play in the next game, right? Is it really okay to consume energy in advance?"

The two teenagers, who were almost similar in appearance but very different in temperament, raised their eyebrows at Su Tang at the same time, as if they were saying——what stupid question are you asking?

Su Tang: "..."

Well, who can do with you what you want?

……

When Su Tang returned to the court with Long Ma and Long Ya, the doubles on the court was coming to an end.

And they just caught up with the wonderful scene.

Sanada accidentally slipped his foot when hitting the ball, but inadvertently played the tennis ball with "double changes", that is, the trajectory of the ball took two sudden turns.

This also caught Tanejima off guard, and he swung an empty racket for the first time.

Everyone on and off the field was amazed.

"Amazing! Vice Minister!!" Kirihara shouted excitedly to Sanada who fell to the ground.

"Even if it's Xiu Er, the two changes can't correspond." Irie seemed to sigh, but his tone was full of interest.

Su and Tang are also discussing.

"However, that boy still can't fully control this skill." Echizen Ryuya said to Sanada, who had a slightly dazed expression.

Su Tang nodded in agreement.

"Hitting that ball should be a temporary accident, but as long as you can grasp the feeling of that moment, I believe Sanada will be able to train it into another trick soon."

Inspiration is sometimes full of chance, but whether a person can succeed depends on whether you let the inspiration go as an illusion, or capture it keenly, not afraid of failure, and keep exploring.

However, there are limitations in the game, and the score of the second army has fallen far behind. With Sanada unable to use the "double turning" proficiently, the winner is still on the side of the high school students.

"Gamewonby one army! 2:1!"

Echizen Ryuya and Ryoma went to prepare for the competition, Su Tang went back to the middle school stands alone, and handed over the remaining bottles of drinks to Kirihara, asking him to ask who would drink them.

She also felt a little regretful when she saw Sanada and Akutsu who were tired and collapsed on the court, looking unavoidably disappointed and unwilling.

"Sometimes winning or losing is so ruthless, and you will succeed if you don't work hard."

Yukimura greeted his teammates calmly, and when he heard Su Tang's exclamation, he smiled softly and said with relief, "But Sanada has already ignited a new fighting spirit."

Not limited to him, nor the school, but...

"The world?" Su Tang smiled softly.

Taneshima waved to Sanada across the net, and finally looked like a senior, saying, "Hurry up and practice 'double turning' and come back."

Sanada quickly collected his mood, calmly and firmly said: "I will definitely complete the 'triple turning' and come back!"

Compared with Sanada, Akutsu, who once wanted to give up tennis, but couldn't go against his heart in the end, showed more emotions.

Qieyuan opened his eyes wide, leaned close to Liu and asked quietly: "Is...is he crying?"

Liu turned his head to the side, and lightly lowered his junior's kelp head, making him look curiously at the ground.

"Chi Ye, you should pretend not to see it at this time, let alone ask."

"Oh... I'm sorry, Senior Liu." Kirihara realized after a while, and nodded obediently.

Su Tang heard this conversation with sharp ears, moved a step to the side, tilted his head, and said in a low voice: "Liu is really like a 'mother', never forgetting to teach Chiye."

"Hehe," Yukimura grabbed the girl's waist, and the smile and banter in his voice sounded close to her ears, "Susu, after this kind of thing, let's go back to the room and talk in private...whisper."

Back, back to the room?

Su Tang's pretty face flushed slightly, she coughed twice, broke free from the big hand on her waist, and asked solemnly, "Has Jingshi had lunch yet?"

"..." Wait, what the hell did she ask.

Yukimura clenched his fists to his lips, laughed a few times suppressedly, and pretended to cooperate ignorantly: "I haven't eaten yet, is Susu hungry?"

Su Tang brushed aside the bangs beside his ears in embarrassment, "I'm not hungry... I ate in the cafeteria. The sandwiches I prepared for everyone haven't been delivered yet."

"Then let's watch the game first." Yukimura crossed his arms and said with a smile.

……

"Wait," Tokugawa stood up, his cold voice blocked Ryoma's footsteps, "I'll come first."

"Senior Tokugawa?" Ryoma raised his head in confusion, and followed his gaze. Echizen Ryuya was also stopped by a young man with blond hair and beard in the first army stand across the stadium.

The four stood on the sidelines on both sides, looking at each other, and reached a tacit understanding invisibly.

Ryoma showed a shallow smile and cheered for the respected senior: "Senior Tokugawa will definitely win."

"It's to settle with him." Tokugawa bent down to pick up the racket, and the sharp light between his brows suddenly flourished.

"Under-17 Japanese team Byodoin Phoenix VS Second Army Tokugawa Kazuya, the first match! Ready to start!"

When Su Tang heard the referee's announcement, he frowned and muttered, "Why are they two?"

She thought that the duel between these two people should be in the last round, and she was debating whether to watch it for a while—it was almost a violent scene that could be imagined.

But last night, when Tokugawa and Ryoma were training, they were attacked by the "glowing ball" of the Byodoin Temple.

Due to excessive nervousness, Tokugawa miscalculated the trajectory of the ball, thinking that the "luminous ball" would hit Ryoma, so he took the initiative to stand up to protect him, but unfortunately he was hit by the tennis ball.

That night, his abdomen was bruised and purple.

Su Tang persuaded Tokugawa that this injury would definitely affect his performance in the game, but Tokugawa insisted on competing and said, "I will do my best."

...but it's this "doing your best" that's scary.

Out of the corner of Su Tang's eyes, he saw Irie and Oni standing together at some point, presumably because he was worried about Tokugawa.

Not long after the match started, Byodoin was the first to be sent flying by the tennis ball.

"Black hole." Although Liu has not seen it many times, Liu still accurately reported Tokugawa's trick.

"What is this?" Kirihara asked curiously.

"'Black Hole' is Tokugawa's unique move with the teaching and help of Irie Kazuki in order to deal with Shurado of Byodoin Temple." Su Tang explained.

"Its function is to reduce the opponent's incoming ball space, so as to achieve the effect of forcing the opponent's ball to stop-no matter how strong and fast the incoming ball is. After the tennis ball stops, Tokugawa can stay where it stopped Return the ball as you wish."

"Wow! Senior Tokugawa is so powerful!" Kirihara looked at the cold young man on the field and said with staring eyes.

Su Tang remained silent.

The "black hole" is very powerful, but it also has great side effects. It can only be used for 10 minutes, and it puts a huge burden on the whole body, and even... it will shorten the user's sports career time.

However, Tokugawa used "black hole" not long after the opening, and obviously knew that his body would not last long, and wanted to make a quick decision.

But will the result really be what he wants?

"15-0!"

Tokugawa's strength is indeed much stronger, and even the Byodoin Temple behind him praised his growth speed.

"Want to row a boat out to sea? Hmph, this level is not enough to win me." Byodoin contemptuously brushed aside the bangs that blocked his eyes, and hummed arrogantly, the veins on the back of his hands suddenly tensed.

"Just sail with the fear that the ship will sink!"

"boom--!"

This was the first time that Su Tang and the teenagers saw the Shura field in another dimension of Byodoin Temple.

When he activated his skills, Su Tang seemed to see a skeleton man wrapped in black air, wearing a single-eyed pirate eye patch, wearing a dark red cloak, and holding a deadly sickle.

"Hmm! Cough, cough, cough!" Tokugawa covered his mouth and knelt down on the ground in embarrassment. A mouthful of blood oozed and flowed from his fingers, dripping onto the green field.

Seeing "Blood" for the second time today, Su Tang frowned and closed his eyes, because he was not used to it.

Especially "Blood on the Field".

Yukimura changed positions with Su Tang calmly, half blocking her in the front position.

"Thank you, Jingshi."

"Don't be polite to me, Susu." Yukimura asked with a hint of worry, "How do you feel?"

Su Tang shook his head, "I don't feel anything, I just don't want to read it, but it won't hurt if I read it."

"Then don't watch it." Yukimura didn't hesitate, standing upright with his broad shoulders tightly blocking her sight.

Su Tang laughed, lowered his brows and eyes, and enjoyed his overbearing with peace of mind.

"it is good."

And even if she can't see it, she can judge the direction of the game through the voice on the court and the discussion with Irie and the ghost behind.

"Game first army! 1-0!"

"My God..." Kirihara went from being excited at the beginning to being shocked now, and it only took a few minutes.

Not only him, but the teenagers who saw the strength of Byodoin with their own eyes were all shocked in their hearts—this is the No. 17 of Under-1.

"Byodoin has been wandering around the world since a long time ago, and many of his tricks have regional characteristics, such as 'American Pirates', 'Egyptian Phoenix' and 'Russian Doll'."

Su Tang couldn't see anything, so he closed his eyes and carefully drew the data of Byodoin Temple in his mind, and explained to Yukimura and others by the way.

"His different-dimensional Shura field is called 'World Pirates'."

"Too violent." Liu Sheng said coldly.

"How should I put it?" Su Tang sighed lightly, "I don't deny his brutality, but his dedication to tennis and his contribution to the Japanese team are beyond doubt, and..."

Yukimura Sifu said: "I remember Susu once said that she doesn't hate Byodoin."

Even if Tokugawa was already vomiting blood from his beating, he couldn't stand still.

Su Tang subconsciously glanced at the stands of the Second Army, and said, "He is not completely violent. Unlike Tono's madness, Byodoin has his bottom line and principles."

"You may not know this, but I also heard this from ghosts. During the World Championships two years ago, Byodoin suffered a back injury in order to save Watanabe's sister, and lost the game against the French team... that was the last few days. In the past few years, the Japanese team is most likely to qualify from the group stage and enter the knockout round."

"Byodoin doesn't blame anyone, but he blames himself." Facing everyone's surprise, Su Tang said calmly.

Kirihara looked back at the "Skeleton Pirate" in disbelief, "It's unimaginable, that bearded man would...do such a thing?"

"Wait, the group stage?" Sanada has always been keen on competitions, winning and losing. "Could it be that the strength of the overseas expedition group can't make it out?"

"How is that possible?!" Kirihara exclaimed.

"Yes." Su Tang calmly gave them a heavy dose of medicine, "With the strength of the army you see now, it's not even possible to pass the first step into the World Championship."

"Of course, the so-called strength is not absolute—didn't everyone win a battle?"

She motioned to King Ni behind, and Keigo Atobe sitting in the distance.

"Yeah, I won a game." Liu flipped through the data recorded today, and said in a low voice, the accent was obviously on the last two words.

Sanada lowered his head and silently clenched his fists.

Su Tang pursed his lips helplessly, she didn't mean that.

"They are high school students. Although you may not be convinced by this, everyone must admit the objective differences in age, physical fitness, and competition experience."

"When you are in high school, it will definitely be very different from today."

"And the formation of troops for today's game is just a situation. There are still many people who didn't play." Su Tang consciously said something wrong, and comforted him dryly.

Yukimura raised his hand to rub the girl's hair, "It's okay, there is such a game, whether you play or not, everyone can improve."

With fire in his eyes, Sanada said in a deep voice, "That's right, fear of failure is a sign of the weak. But this year's World Championship, we will never be so embarrassed! After the competition, all members will train!"

"Yoxi!" Kirihara was also full of fighting spirit, with uncontrollable excitement emerging from his smile.

King Ren lay on Liu Sheng's shoulder, and snorted softly when he heard the words.

Su Tang put Yukimura's big hand on his head, raised his head slightly and smiled at him.

Their deputy minister is still the same as before, easily igniting everyone's fighting spirit.
