that man lost his horse

While preparing for the Kanto competition, Lin suddenly received a text message.

The sender was my cousin Byodoin Phoenix, whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

"I'm back. I heard that you are going to prepare for the Kanto competition recently? What is there to prepare for that kind of competition, heck, come to Phoenix Hall tomorrow and let me teach you what is real tennis."

The text message is not long, very cousin's personal style, but the amount of information is not small.

Real tennis balls?

Lin believed that his cousin would not target indiscriminately.So he is seriously considering how to ask Yukimura and the others for leave.

After all, the day after tomorrow is the first round of the Kanto Competition, and he doesn't know if he can catch up with the competition.Although it wasn't his turn to play in the first round, the rules in the tennis department: leave must be reported, so as to avoid some unexpected situations where no one can be found.

Yukimura will kill you if you ask for leave at such a time... But there are not many opportunities to play with my cousin...

Lin wants to seize every opportunity to improve his strength.Since Meng Zhongqingxue can often burst into battle or make rapid progress in just a few days, why can't he?

He didn't think he was worse than Qingxue.

The scene has its own arrogance.He wants to win the Kanto Competition and the National Competition for Li Haida, so he will seize every opportunity to improve his strength.

What those people in Qingxue can do, there is no reason why he can't do it.

In the end, I went to ask Yukimura for leave.

"Yukimura, I need to take a leave of absence tomorrow." Lin knew that Yukimura valued efficiency the most, so he went straight to the point.

"Give me a reason."

"It can be regarded as a special training... I can't say more details for the time being, but I will come back soon with the effect of the special training."

Yukimura smiled slightly, "Why don't I agree to improve my strength? But Lin, let's play a game with me when I come back."

"it is good."

Liu and Sanada didn't say much after knowing about it.The Kanto competition is just around the corner, and the national competition is not far away. Everyone has their own training methods, so there is no need to ask too much at this time.

Besides, Lin has always been reassuring.From the time he joined the tennis team there were no worries.

So Liu and Sanada didn't have any complaints about missing a day of training.Even Sanada suppressed Akaya Kirihara, who was yelling about partiality and dissatisfaction.

Kyoto is considered to be the place where he visited the most times in the three years of middle school, even more than the number of times he went back to Yayuan - after all, cousin Shizuka is in the town of Yahara, so there will be no trouble, but my cousin travels to various places , Although the grandfather and uncle's family in the main house of Byodoin Temple in Kyoto don't talk about it, they still feel lonely to some extent, and Lin also wants to spend more time with them.

In addition, in the past year, he can feel that he has a closer connection with Shinto, so he has to go to Phoenix Hall to practice Shinto.

Today is the most special time.

The main building of Byodoin Temple has been rumbling since noon.Many disciples who just started practicing this year are ignorant and don't know what happened.

"Does it thunder even on sunny days?"

The older disciples have long been used to it, "It's not thunder, it's Phoenix playing tennis. He's always playing tennis with a little noise." But why do you feel that the noise is bigger than before after traveling for a year?Does traveling also increase strength?

"Huh?! Can tennis play this effect?!"

If Lin, who was separated by several walls, knew what these little disciples were thinking, he would definitely tell them loudly: Yes!Tennis can not only play sound, but also glow!There are also pirates and pirate ships!

Pro: I have learned a lot, I have learned a lot.

"Do you only have this kind of consciousness?! Tennis is not as indecisive and hesitant as you think. The world court is very cruel!" After several times of being knocked down to the ground, Byodoin was still not satisfied, "Just staring at the national court. There will be no progress in the Chinese League!"

Lin smiled wryly in his heart.Playing tennis was not what he wanted at first!Who would have thought that Inari God would have a whim to fulfill a wish that has nothing to do with his job, such as the "Three in a Row"?If it wasn't for fulfilling the commission, he wouldn't play tennis either.

But think about it another way, if it wasn't for tennis, how could he have the opportunity to meet Li Haida's partners?

He doesn't want to lose.In addition to wanting to complete the commission, more importantly, I want to win the three consecutive championships with everyone in Lihai University.

Lin supported the ground with his racket, and stood up unsteadily.

He has no strength.

Hold the bat with both hands, "Come again!"

Byodoin snorted, and another luminous ball rushed straight towards Lin's door.

"Is this the only way you can do it?!"

Lin Lin was beaten to the ground again and again, and stood up again and again to face a new round of violent storms.

Finally, after not knowing which number or the tenth glowing ball, Lin steadily hit the ball back.

After hitting the ball, Lin staggered and knelt directly on the ground.

Just this ball has exhausted all his strength.

Byodoin looked at the small hole behind him that was hit by the return ball, snorted, and pulled Lin up with the racket between his hands.

"Remember the feeling of returning the ball just now, and play like this during the national competition." Byodoin pointed out, "Play well. The national competition is not the end, but the beginning."

Lin blinked.Is it not the end, but the beginning...?

After playing ball with my cousin, Lin briefly treated the wound and then drove back to Kanagawa by car.He has not forgotten that tomorrow is the first round of Lihai University.

And, the match between Qingxue and Bingdi in the second half will also start tomorrow.

On the day of the competition, everyone from Lihai University saw us.He didn't go to school the day before, but went directly to the assembly point set by Lihai University on the day of the competition.

As soon as they met, the teammates frowned at the scars on Lin's body.

Because the Kanto competition was held in July, the summer in Japan this year came earlier than usual, and the main players had already changed into short-sleeved and shorts team uniforms.Because of this, the bruises on Lin's elbows and legs were clearly seen by everyone.

"Lin, your special training... Hiss is too harsh, isn't it?" Liu Weiwei opened his eyes.

There are large bruises on Lin's hands and legs, which look like scars from being knocked down to the ground and rubbed against each other.

"It hurts just looking at it..." Marui was too scared to chew bubble gum.

Yukimura frowned, his face serious.Since his illness, he has least seen his teammates get injured.

But he also knew that he wouldn't listen to what others said before he made up his mind.

Before Lin was like this, Yukimura only felt that he was firm and not following the trend; but now he feels a headache because of Lin's stubbornness.

"Even in special training, you have to take care of your body!"

At ten o'clock in the morning, Lihai stepped on the spot to sign in and submit the battle list.

Nioh huddled in the preparation area. Today's weather was the sunny day he disliked the most. In addition, the game started at ten o'clock in the morning. He felt that he was going to be sunburned.

"It's really rare, Yinhua came later than us."

"That's weird... Yinhua won't abstain, right?" Marui half-joked.Who will abstain from the school that can enter the Kanto competition for no reason?

But Yinhua's team still didn't enter the arena after the bell rang twice.The audience on the sidelines had already begun to commotion, and the staff in the referee's seat had urgently contacted Yinhua's coach and captain.

About two to three minutes later, the referee announced that Yinhua had abstained from food poisoning, and Lihai advanced.

"...Although it's true that I won, I don't know why I can't feel happy." Marui complained a little speechlessly, and several people didn't expect him to be right, and Yinhua really abstained. "Then what are we going to do now?"

"As long as it's not going back to school for training, it's fine, right?"

"I remember there is a match in the second half today? It seems to be Bingdi and Qingxue?"

Liu nodded: "Yes, the match between Bingdi and Qingxue in the next half area started a little earlier than us, and if we pass now, we can still catch up with the rest of the singles match."

Singles match.Those present understood in seconds.Isn't Seigaku's singles one the Tezuka that Sanada is thinking about? !

"Let's go to watch the game." Yukimura made a final decision.

When Li Hai appeared majestically in the auditorium of the competition between Qingxue and Bingdi, it inevitably attracted a burst of exclamation from the audience.

"Li Haida?!"

"The game in the next half of the district started less than half an hour ago? It ended so soon?"

A well-informed person immediately said, "No, it was Yinhua who abstained because of food poisoning, so Li Haida was directly promoted."

"Li Haida's luck is really amazing..."

Li Haida was no stranger to this kind of gaze.

"One win and one loss in doubles, and three draws in singles," Yagyu said, "Qingxue and Bingdi actually tied this score."

"Nenzu actually went to play doubles, and I didn't expect to lose." At this time, Lin had already begun to wonder if Ninzu didn't use all his strength, otherwise, how could he have scored such a score.

"The second Ice Emperor in singles is probably going to lose."

When Li Haida came to the sidelines, it happened to be the time for the singles two to play.The singles Erqing school sent Fuji Shusuke, who is known as a "genius", and the ice emperor sent Akutagawa Jiro.

Even if Marui has a good relationship with Akutagawa, he can't say that Akutagawa can win against his will.

"It's certain that we won't win, but 6-4 should be no problem, right?"

The optimistic Marui was quickly slapped in the face.

"6-1??!" Marui pointed at the scoreboard in disbelief. "Is this...too outrageous?"

"Calm down, Wentai." Lin patted Marui on the shoulder, "You have to work hard, otherwise..."

Marui was silent.He and Akutagawa are both pre-net players, and their physical strength is their big problem.He's used to Kuwahara standing behind him all the time, and he's used to the feeling of having two on the court.

But Akutagawa and Fuji reached this score, which sounded the alarm for him.

"Hey—let's talk about it when we get back!" Marui said so, but he had already made up his mind.

"The next step is singles, right?"

"The match between Tezuka and Atobe is probably what many people are looking forward to."

"Of course, this is second only to the scene between Atobe and Yukimura."

Li Haida's teammates were still discussing, and when the game whistle sounded, they all focused on the field.

The battle between the two parts has officially started.
