Time is like a song

The tennis courts of Lihai University have always been reserved for women's tennis after men's tennis.Of course, the prefix of "since Xingcun served as the head of the men's net" should be added in front of this "always".He is actually quite talkative on weekdays, but when it comes to the tennis club, no one can beat him.Therefore, the women's tennis part is to go for a run first, and then practice after the men's tennis part in the afternoon, which causes them to play very late, and many girls are reluctant to enter the women's tennis.In order to reduce the burden on the students, the former minister was forced to shorten the ministry work from five days a week to three days a week.

According to me, Lihai University's women's tennis team fell from the Kanto champion a few years ago to barely making it to the national competition.

However, it is also a problem that there is no successor for women's tennis.

"Ping," Nitta Sanae-senior asked me, "The men's tennis department is over, why are you still watching us? Did you come here on purpose?"

I leaned against the door of the tennis court, "Even during the summer vacation, the men's tennis team robbed me of the morning time and forced me to spend the hot afternoon. Senior sister really failed."

Nitta-senpai gritted her teeth.

"I want to fight your main force."

"Hey?" Senior sister looked at me, then smiled, "Okay, no problem."

I moved my wrist, turned the racket, and stepped into the field.

For the next seven days, after I trained with the men's tennis in the morning, I played a match with the main selection of the women's tennis in the afternoon.I have won all seven games.It's not how good I am, it's that they are too useless.After the seventh match, I looked at Mirai Utsunomiya, my senior who had always been the second singles player, and shook my head.Losing to me [-]-[-], it's really hard for them to enter the Kanto competition.I heard from senior Xintian that the seniors from the previous class had much better abilities, but they only made it to the national competition, not even a single place.The knock-on effect of not being ranked is that it is more difficult to win resources from the school.

"Just laugh," Utsunomiya Mirai glared at me fiercely, "I'll see how long you can be so arrogant!"

"I don't know how long I can be arrogant," I leaned on the fence, "but if you continue like this, senior, you really have no future."

"Don't use my name as a joke! Bastard!"

I turned to Nitta-senpai, "I can join the club, but you have to give me the position of minister."

"Mazumi Hira!" The deputy director of the women's tennis team, my classmate Sayuri Imagawa jumped up when she heard this, and bared her canine teeth at me, "If you want to be a minister, you're delusional."

I glanced at her, "If you want to do it, please improve yourself first, Huya girl who eats up her eggs." I turned to Nitta-senpai, "You still have to make sure everyone does what I say."

Nitta-senpai frowned, "I can give you the position, but what do you want to do?"

"Train you." I walked to the sidelines and took a sip of water. "I joined to compete against high-level players. I don't want to be dragged down."

Utsunomiya Mirai said with a grim expression, "We don't welcome you."

"Forget it then." I carried my schoolbag and stepped out of the school.

Lianji, who was waiting at the school gate, asked, "Is it done?"

"If you mean my match against the women's tennis, I won. If you mean my membership, I screwed up. They don't welcome me."

"What did you do to them again?" Lian Er and I walked to a nearby restaurant.I have no food at home, so during the summer vacation, Lian Er would accompany me after dinner before leaving.

"Nothing." I pouted.

"Go and apologize."

"No. They haven't reflected on why they will lose, and they don't know whether they will enter the national competition this year. It is true that my words are not good. Don't blame me, you, Yukimura, and Sanada are also very unreasonable to Kirihara Chi At least I didn’t beat them to the point where I couldn’t recognize them.” Looking at the way they abused themselves and others, I almost doubted that Lihaida’s men’s net was some kind of gangster violence group.

Lian Er glanced at me, "You don't have any now, but you are planning to train them to the point where you can't even recognize their faces."

"Of course, I don't want to be held back by them."

Lian Er didn't scold me for using bad words, but just patted my head and said, "Then you can bring them to the point where you don't want to hold them back." As a member of King Li Haida, Lian Er's severity is also terrifying .

"Has Renji contacted Sadaharu?" When I came to the restaurant, I looked at the menu and asked.

"No, Sadaharu will meet me on the field."

I curled my lips, "A boy's strange friendship."

"You have contact with him?"

"I will call on holidays." It was Sadaharu who forced me. He said that if I didn't call, he would call every day to harass me.

"...I never received your call."

"Because Lian Ji doesn't want us first."

"Maumi," he slapped my head hard, "what did you call me?"

"Mushroom head."

I went home after eating.I yawned, washed up and slept.Playing tennis seems to be something that I am forced to do, but some things actually seem to be more fun than I imagined.There is no news from the women's net for the time being, so I will continue to stay in the men's net.

Since Bunta Marui discovered that he can use cakes to replenish his physical strength, I have been unable to beat him again, and it is already very rare to get a six-level tie.Liu Sheng has improved very fast compared to Lu Shi, he has reached the seventh point with me, and it seems that he will surpass me in another semester.Not to mention Nioh Masaharu, if he hadn't lacked a partner, he would have been the main pick in the second grade.Although I am more used to playing singles than him, it has also dropped from six points or seven points at the beginning of the semester to a situation where he usually beats me by three points.Against Jack Kuwahara, I've always lost badly in the second half.

In view of my increasingly miserable grades, I was eventually thrown to be a training partner for the first-year Akaya Kirihara.

"Raise your hand higher. Put it in that position, you can't spin it up and down, and you can't spin it down. Raise it up, it's not like you haven't eaten. I saw that you ate two bowls of ramen for breakfast, really Abnormal." I sat on the sidelines and urged Kirihara to correct his posture, "Take a deep breath before serving. Your heart is not calm, and the ball will be thrown into the Atlantic Ocean. I can’t even breathe up.” I held my head, “If you relax your elbows a bit, you won’t be entangled in kelp.”

"Enough!" Kirihara threw the tennis ball on the ground, pointed at me with the racket and shouted, "What qualifications do you have to criticize me? You can't even beat a sophomore!"

"It was because I couldn't beat the second year that I was thrown to teach you, first year kid."

Kirihara jumped, "I'm a first-year genius! It's different from those first-years!"

"I can't see the difference," I curled my lips, "No, I lost to the second-year student again." I picked up the racket and stood up, "Play a game, shut up and be obedient if you lose, I don't want to fight with you every day." He's great, but what I'm least afraid of is an emotionally unstable opponent.I have plenty of ways to torture him.

I won this game [-]-[-].

I yawned, "Kirihara, playing tennis is not about pretending to be a buffalo. You are better than me but lose to me. Use your kelp to reflect on yourself. If you don't pretend to be a cow, you can pretend to be a rabbit with red eyes, even if you have improved your abilities. , but when your mood fluctuates to this point, there will be more and more flaws. Sanada has won you, but you are not the one you want to learn from him now. Let's talk about Renji. Forget about Yukimura, you can't learn that."

As soon as I turned around, I saw Nitta-senpai.She said, "Ping, join us."

"Good morning, senior." I returned to the sidelines to wipe off my sweat.

"Hey, don't pretend you don't hear me! You said you wanted to join again."

I glanced at her, "Tomorrow is your first Kanto event, you waited until now to find me, because you didn't want me to have time to intervene in your department's work, and then use me as a gunman."

Nitta-senpai's complexion changed, "Ping, not everything is suitable for sharing."

"That's your idea, it has nothing to do with me. If you dare to do it, don't be afraid of others to say."

"It's your request that is too strong. It's not a problem if you want the position of minister, but it's impossible for them all to listen to you without objection."

"If you can't make people obey you, then you're a bare-bones commander, and that title is useless." I packed my things and walked to the indoor tennis court where the men's tennis main selection is located, "Okay, I'll join, and I don't want the position of minister either. I stopped, turned to Nitta Sanae and said, "Anyway, you are using me as a gunner, and I am just treating you as a pedal for me to enter the national competition. I hope your pedal is not made of tofu, at least it can hold up This is my gun." After that, I went into the room to enjoy the air-conditioning.

"Are you quarreling with Nitta-senpai?" Lian Er came over.

"No, I'm just telling the truth."

He looked at me and didn't say any more about this topic, "Seeing how tired you are, at least you're bullying Kirihara, right?"

"No, he's stupid. Lianji, I'm hungry, let's go eat together."

"...Eating with you every day, I am actually afraid that one day I will have indigestion or choke to death."

I glanced at him, "If you don't go, you will pull it down."

He laughed, "Okay, just joking. I have something to do today, so I can't have lunch with you, and you have to solve dinner by yourself."

"Oh." I shrugged.

"Oh what? Just remember to eat, don't just eat instant noodles."

I waved my hand, turned and left.The weather is hot, and it will be very uncomfortable to go to the side of the road and wait for the bus to go home at noon.Rubbing my belly, I simply slept in an empty classroom at school, and decided to wait until later to finish lunch and dinner near the school before driving home in the cooler evening.

"Gu~" After five o'clock in the afternoon, I finally woke up.I can't, my stomach can't bear it anymore, I will die if I don't eat any more.

After patting my face, I got up from the ground, carried my schoolbag, and stepped out of the classroom.When passing the tennis court, I saw that the women's tennis players hadn't left yet.Really, didn't their seniors teach them that they shouldn't over-train the day before the competition?Too stupid to be saved.When I was about to leave without seeing anything, I saw Sanada standing outside the tennis court with folded arms.

"Sanada, it turns out that you can also look at girls." The girls of the women's net showed their clean thighs under the short white skirts.

Sanada's face darkened quickly, "I'm not watching!"

We watched the training of Ziwang outside for a while, and then we went out together.

"It's normal for you to be disappointed with Li Haida's women's tennis."

I glanced at Sanada.Is he trying to reassure me that I don't have to worry about the feud with the women's tennis?Really rare.

"Sanada-san," I stood still at the school gate, "What do you think of my tennis?"

"Your mind is too complicated." He crossed his arms and said without thinking, "Skill is a double-edged sword. It can be your weapon or your fatal wound. Your basic strength is not Poor, but every time you encounter difficulties, what you immediately think of is not to attack again, but to use your clever tricks to avoid the opponent. Over time, your strength improvement will slow down because of your mentality. The opponent The more times I fight against you, the more I can see through your skills.”

I frowned, "I understand what you said, but for a while I couldn't think of any other way. I can't walk into the power type."

He raised his eyebrows, "It's not a complete change, but to improve what you already have, and then gather the strengths of each family. You and Lian Er's styles are already very similar, and the person you want to learn from is not him. The situation is just like yours. It's the same as Kirihara said."

"..." Kirihara and I's words were heard by him.

"go to eat."

I looked at him, "What?"

"Come with me after dinner."

The emperor, who is looking forward to Li Haida, wants to beat me again.

The time came to the next day, and I arrived at the venue of the Kanto Competition on time.

"Ping!" Nitta-senpai waved to me, while the others looked like they wanted me to disappear immediately.

I nodded back.

"Ping," Nitta-senpai showed me the appearance list, "according to your strength, I will rank you first in singles, I will be second in singles, and Mirai Utsunomiya will be third in singles. I will keep the order of doubles unchanged from the past. The second-year Yui Tamada and Imagawa Kobayashi will cooperate in doubles two, and the third-year Aoi Matsutani and Koguchi Sayaka will play doubles one. The original singles third and second-year Akane Niimura will be the backup."

There are both second and third graders on the main list. It seems that Nitta-senpai is aware of the importance of cultivating younger generations for the continuation of the club.As for placing me in the singles first, to put it nicely, I value my strength, but in fact, I hope to get three wins in the previous matches as much as possible without me playing.

I didn't say much, just nodded to show understanding, and followed them into the player area.

"Likaida! Likaida! Yusheng Yusheng Likaida! The queen is me Likaida!"

As soon as they entered the arena, Li Haida's cheerleaders shouted vigorously.It has always had a long history. Even if the results in recent years have not been very good, the Lihai University Women's Net Club, which was once prosperous and well-established, will not lack what it should have.In a game, if only the opponent has a cheerleading team, it will be a bit of a blow to one's own side.Team competitions and individual competitions are very different from the applied tactics to the atmosphere of the venue.

After both parties saluted, I pressed the peaked cap on my head and sat in a corner of the player area with my hands in my trouser pockets.Today's sun is so fierce that only the corners can't shine.

"Here." Nitta-senpai twitched her lips, and handed me a set of Lihai Women's Tennis Club uniforms with a khaki top and a beige bottom, "You are the only one in the whole team who is not wearing a uniform, and you haven't seen your opponent laughing What does it look like?"

I took the uniform and put it next to me, "It doesn't matter what they think. If you think it matters, just hit them until they can't laugh."

Nitta-senpai patted the brim of my hat, "You little brat, you're so damn arrogant." She smiled, "However, the last sentence is very nice." She turned to her teammates, "Sisters, let's beat them until they can't laugh! "

"Yes!"

Those in sports clubs seem to be violent.

I stretched out my hand to adjust the hat, "Miss Nitta, judging by your height, you look more like a brat."

Nitta-senpai, who is only [-] tall, has a vein popping out of her forehead.

"Hira Shinumi, please don't affect my mood before the match! Bastard!"

We lost the doubles two in the first game very quickly; we barely won the doubles one.In singles, Mirai Utsunomiya lost; Sanae Nitta, who played second in singles, played better than usual and won the match smoothly.It seems that our school's second-year doubles is still a little bit worse.As for the reason why Nitta-senpai became a minister, it can be seen from her perseverance and good mentality in today's competition.As a minister, in addition to having strength, controlling the atmosphere of the team is also part of his job.Nitta-senpai, who has rich experience in competitions, can indeed regulate the morale of the team during the competition.

However, if she can't win all the time, it's useless for her to work hard.

Morale has to be supported by grades.

"Players in the third singles match of the next match, please take your place." The voice of the broadcast echoed in the venue.

After warming up and putting on my team uniform, I straightened my hair into a ponytail and walked out of the field with a racket.

"Chiba Private Wada Daiichi Junior High School, Yuko Watanabe, a third grader, Kanagawa Rikkai University Affiliated Middle School, a second grader Mayumi Hira."

"Likaida! Likaida! Yusheng Yusheng Likaida! The queen is me Likaida!"

I glanced at my opponent, "Please teach me more." The technique that Sanada asked me to practice, this girl, was my first test subject.

"Game start!"
