When Yukimura woke up, he rarely felt dizzy for a long time.

Last night, he stayed by his sister's bed and coaxed the little girl to sleep before leaving. He went back to the room and talked with Sanada on the phone. He didn't go to bed until he sorted out the things he wanted to take away.

The alarm clock beside the bed didn't ring, he was used to the early biological clock.Get up and open the curtains, look out from the floor-to-ceiling windows, there is no one passing by in the park outside the backyard.

Yukimura opened the window and took a deep breath, thinking that he would go to Sanada's house today, the corners of his mouth curled up.

When he went downstairs and passed his sister's room, he heard no sound.The little girl was crying sadly, and finally fell asleep, she should still be dreaming at this time.There is no one in the restaurant downstairs, except for the athletes who do morning exercises, parents do not have the habit of getting up early.

After jogging and exercising, he took a shower and cleaned himself up. He went back to the kitchen and put away the coffee beans and turned on the coffee machine. While waiting, he took out the photo album in the living room and sat on the bar to flip through it slowly.His eyes glanced at the group photos of him and Genichiro participating in school activities when he was a child, and many of the pictures became blurred in his memory, and he only had a vague impression.

He found a photo, then paused and looked at it seriously.It was the photo taken by the coach in the regional competition after he discovered the realization method of eliminating the five senses for the first time before elementary school.The little boy was wearing a water-blue tennis uniform, with a white headband wrapped around his forehead, staring at the other side with piercing eyes.

Yukimura can now see that there were still many problems with his movements at that time, his grip was not stable, and his expression was deliberately serious because he stubbornly emphasized that he was a boy.

He smiled, took out the photo and turned it over, and the coach wrote a line on the back.

"It was the first time I discovered the spiritual power of Yukimura. You are a unique tennis player. Even if more people will follow this path in the future, you must keep your pace and keep exploring what only you can do."

Yukimura never knew that the seemingly inconspicuous coach had already seen his future so early on.While sighing, he fixed his eyes on the words "Only you can do it", and gradually fell into deep thought.

Since the Total War, he has been helpless in the face of Baptism's evolution.Extracting the dream from the baptism is a method he has long considered, but fundamentally speaking, the baptism now only has the function of increasing the limit of mental power and creating a spiritual illusion for the opponent.

His original intention was to confuse the opponent's sense of space, and while maintaining the five senses, let the opponent unknowingly return the ball out of bounds to score.But after being pulled out of the dream, the defensive function of baptism becomes useless.Dreams can start with vision and cooperate with the five senses. After these two tricks, almost no one can break free.But if it is aimed at a player with high mental strength and a great sense of the ball, will his tricks still work?

He thought of the feelings he had when he fought Bupo a few days ago, and he clearly realized that the key to the current evolution of baptism is to develop a shield for spiritual players.He has always focused on mental attack and puts more emphasis on suppressing opponents than defense, so from the perspective of protecting his own side, this is indeed a very obvious gap.

"Only I can do it... Is this trying to attack your own shield with your own spear?"

He murmured under his breath.If you simulate the game with yourself as an opponent, maybe you can see the loopholes in the five senses and dreams, and at the same time, you can think of a way to restrain the mental attack... He thought so, took out the pen from the bar and quickly wrote down his mind on a sticky note Thoughts flashed through.

Yukimura was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice that his father walked in from behind and turned off the power of the coffee machine for a long time.He was still writing some keywords that flashed by quickly, and it was not until this period of thinking finally came to an end that he smelled the strong smell of coffee.

His mug was handed to the table in front of him, Yukimura raised his head, and his father who was supporting the table was tilting his head to read his shorthand.

"...It's delicious." Yukimura's father touched his son's head, the soft hair was still a little wet, "I don't understand your tennis."

Yukimura smiled, took a sip from the cup, and warmed his heart, "Did Dad watch my game?"

"The video at home is never lost. I entrusted Genichiro to copy all your games." Yukimura's father sat down opposite him and looked at the photo turned over by Yukimura. "Your coach when you were young was very discerning. I used to think that you played well, but I didn’t expect to become so famous. When my colleagues said, ‘Your son is the son of God’, I always felt a little embarrassed.”

Yukimura's ears were also reddened by his teasing, "I don't like this name very much."

Yukimura's father nodded, "Me too. It's dangerous to be on an equal footing with God, and I'm not as powerful as you." He looked at his son's expression, and finally said what was in his heart.

"It took me a long time to accept the fact that you and Genichiro are in a relationship. Now even if I acquiesce, I'm not sure whether your will can guarantee that this relationship will not give up halfway."

In the education of Jingshi, as a father, he has always shown unprincipled love. Even now that his son has grown up and is almost as tall as himself, he still regards him as the little boy who can be picked up with one hand. .

"If you can move forward together in this field, then I won't talk too much. As long as you can still look around and see the people who accompany you when you reach the top of the world, this is also a good story." Yukimura's father sighed softly Taking a deep breath, he lowered his head to look at his reflection in the cup.

"You and Youyi both look like my mother. What a blessing to me. Although the little princess has a personality like me and always guards you as a baby, you are the most powerful man in this family. Look for it I will never allow others to comment on my affairs and people." He patted the boy's hand, although he was still a little thin, his body was no longer weak.

"...Sorry, Dad."

Yukimura's father looked at the boy who apologized softly in front of him, and he recalled countless images of hugging this little boy in his mind.His lover gave him a little angel, letting him know that there are beautiful fairy tales in reality.Then he got another little princess, and embraced the three most beautiful and loveliest people in the world.

He almost lost it, so now he cherishes it a hundredfold.He touched the young man's thin bones, and slowly frowned, "Don't focus on practicing, you are not as strong as Genichiro, if you don't eat more, you won't be able to keep up, and you will suffer in the competition."

Yukimura nodded, smiling cutely.He'd always been a sweet kid to his father, and he'd gotten the most hugs from men since he was a kid.Compared with other conflicts between father and son, he will discuss important matters with his mother and act like a baby with his father.

Because of this, he felt a little guilty for letting his father say these words.

"You have to go all out for the game and don't leave any regrets." The man stood up and walked into the kitchen, "Mom and Youyi are going to get up later, come and help me prepare breakfast."

Yukimura couldn't laugh or cry.

In every sense, dad is the hardest person in the family.

-

"Don't bully Sasuke too much, Genichiro."

Back at the school gate, the two people who boarded the dormitory bus greeted their teammates and sat down in double seats.Yukimura put the tennis bag aside, and found the snack box that Sanada's mother asked him to take with him just before leaving Sanada's house.

"Didn't bully him." Sanada helped him open it together, and prepared to distribute it to teammates who smelled the fragrance and came over, "He disrupted my plan."

Yukimura knew what happened, but in the end it was Yui's fault, so he didn't say any more.He had lunch with his family before, and after comforting his sister, he went to visit Sanada's grandfather, and received a warm welcome at the Sanada house.He didn't expect this kind of situation, and Sasuke was not happy to stick to himself.

He took out a snack and took a bite, the soft texture was filled with warm jam, "Do you know that there is communication between Yui and Sasuke's school? Recently Yui always calls him, she can't be..."

Sanada frowned and looked at him, "Yui seems to have someone he likes, and Sasuke told me he is the older brother of their Kendo club senior."

Yukimura froze for a moment, opened his eyes wide, "Why don't I know?"

"Yuyi doesn't know herself, so don't worry about it." Sanada handed the snack box to Akaya who was watching them eagerly, "Sasuke said that she always mentioned that person on the phone, so she felt something was wrong. She was only in the third grade, and So slow..."

"Sasuke is the one, obviously a little older than Yui, why is he so precocious!" Yukimura pursed his lips and looked out of the window unhappily, "The most clingy brother is still there, liking Sasuke is better than someone who doesn't know him."

Sanada was a little amused.While pampering his younger sister, he was also jealous because her younger sister had someone she cared about.The siblings felt exactly the same way.He glanced at the teammates who were sitting far away, and stretched out his hand to squeeze the palm of his lover.

Yukimura turned to stare at him.

"We have already been acquiesced, and we can formally ask your parents for permission when we make achievements." Sanada held his lover's hand and raised it to his lips, gently kissing the back of the boy's hand.His eyes were dark, refracting the light of stars in the dim car, and Yukimura was moved when he saw it.

Yukimura leaned over and quickly branded a kiss on his lover's cheek.

"So you think it's okay to do these things openly, Genichiro?"

He pursed his lips, narrowed his eyes and raised his eyebrows to look at Sanada.

And Sanada couldn't help lowering his eyes, staring at his lover's beautiful lips, "If you don't care, I won't resist."

He wished he could hide this attractive guy in his pocket and let his lover only smile at him.He was originally a broad-minded man, but because he fell in love with this boy, he often felt that he had discovered his stingy side.

He knew that their names were destined to be together, but he always thought about not being left behind, and held his lover's hand tightly.He can't let go of the iron chain that binds the two people for a moment, unless there is a ring instead of it wrapped around the boy's finger...

——When he starts to play the game and get bonuses, he has to save money to buy one for Jingshi.

Sanada was a little dazed thinking about it, but he didn't notice that the boy who was holding his hand was smiling a bit slyly, and carefully covered the bulging outer pocket of the tennis bag with his leg.

Hidden there was something that Yukimura had prepared after he was discharged from the hospital, and he hadn't taken it out of his own small box at home until today.Yukimura originally planned to give it to Sanada before entering the professional net, but this time he returned home with the acquiescence of his family, maybe when he came to the World Cup, he would be able to see this item appearing on Sanada in advance.

He bent his eyes and leaned shoulder to shoulder with his lover.

The teammates finally got together, and the bus left Lihai.Among the many material supports provided by the Atobe Group, one of the convenient facilities for players includes transportation services.Driving from Kanagawa to the mountain where they lived together, Yukimura and the others chatted slowly and took a nap, and it was already afternoon when they returned to the training camp.

There is still one day before we are ready to go to Australia to start overseas camping.The teenagers didn't have much time to rest leisurely. Yukimura found Byodoin on the court who was watching Tokugawa's practice.Long before going home, the two agreed to have a practice session before leaving.Yukimura has been aiming at Byodoin Temple since the first day he came to the hotel, until today he had the opportunity to face this person face to face on the court.The previous team competition can be said to be a battle between two team leaders. Although the result shows that the first army intends to let go, it has been repeatedly suppressed by the tactics of the juniors. Byodoin has to recognize the excellence of these juniors.

Tokugawa and Oni, who were practicing, also stopped, leaving the field to these two.This may be a battle of the same title, the No.1 in high school, and the No.1 in junior high school.Judging from the name, the former is superior, so everyone thinks that Yukimura just wants to experience the true strength of Byodoin.

"In that case, try catching my ball if you have the ability." Byodoin threw the ball nonchalantly, "As long as you can see the path of the ball, it's your victory, how about it?"

Yukimura didn't mind the contempt in the opponent's tone, he nodded as usual, returned to the bottom line and stood ready to wait for the ball.

He watched the movements of Byodoin, observing the details to the extreme.He knows that no matter how powerful the ball is that cannot be judged, there will be hints from the player's body, and even the world's first-class players, the most habitual subconscious movements will reveal their hearts.

He watched the man lead the racket, swing the racket, the muscles of the arm tensed and stretched, and the lines slowly stretched and contracted.He saw the racket flash like a knife, and the serve flashed at his feet.

This was a genuine full-strength serve, and Byodoin didn't hold back, and opened the Shura Shinto when it came up.It was the first time that Yukimura faced the huge shadow behind the man with his own eyes, as if he could hear the raging waves in his ears, and even his feet shook a little.

He keenly realized that he was being surrounded by spiritual power, and that torrential spiritual power was not a sharp arrow of wisdom, nor an unbreakable mirror, nor the nothingness of Zhongdao.

That is the nature that Yukimura has painted the most and understood most since he was a child.

It is the boundless sea, the wave that swallows everything.

The spiritual power of Byodoin has no shape and cannot be described.For the first time in his life, Yukimura saw such a deterrent mental power, and he couldn't even think of a way to fight back in the waves, so he could only use his best to protect himself.

He frowned and thought, facing the next few balls and "Pirates of the World", he couldn't even swing his racket.

Compared with Yukimura's judgment of his own situation, Byodoin and several people outside were more surprised.Just a few days ago, Tokugawa had fought against the current Byodoin Temple, and he knew how embarrassing he would be if he fell into the Shura Shinto. However, he was greatly surprised that when faced with the physical attack of the Byodoin Temple, this boy actually All of them dodged away in a matter of seconds.

Although Yukimura didn't swing his racket at all, he clearly saw the path of the World Pirates' ball and kept his form intact, which was harder than hitting the ball back by Byodoin.

"Does Byodoin think that Yukimura can't see his own ball? What's going on? Even you have to open a black hole to judge..." Gui stared at the court in bewilderment, unable to explain this situation.

"The black hole is also a kind of Shura Shinto. Yukimura has not comprehended it at all. It is impossible to do it with insight alone." Tokugawa frowned.

"Does he have any tricks that we don't know?" asked the ghost.

Tokugawa thought for a while before he deliberately learned about this child from Senior Irie, "Now it seems that I have not seen only the baptism and the elimination of the five senses. Obviously, he used one of these two at this time."

The ghost shook his head, "I've seen it before, pointing at the opponent's tricks has nothing to do with the present." He pondered for a while, thinking of a possibility he had heard from his juniors, "...reversely destroying the five senses."

Tokugawa had never heard of this word, and thought carefully about the meaning of these five characters.There is no scoring system in the game on the field, and Byodoin has no intention of stopping, it seems that it will only give up unless Yukimura fights back, and keeps using various methods to target the opponent.

"This is not the reverse elimination of the five senses."

A voice came from behind Tokugawa and Oni, and the black-haired boy sat down beside them, staring at the purple-haired boy in the arena, "This is the real baptism."

He thought of the conversation between himself and Yukimura after the team competition, and finally expressed his long-thought point of view, "Many people think that 'baptism' is a trick similar to seamlessness, even magazines explain it this way, but seeing De It was only after the match between Senior Chuan and Byodoin that we both realized that maybe 'baptism' is a skill similar to Shura Shinto."

"You mean... Yukimura realized Shura Shinto in the third year of junior high school?" Tokugawa asked.

This guess made the ghost shake his head, "He doesn't have this condition, he hasn't been defeated, he hasn't experienced painful humiliation, even if I agree with his will, but..."

"Senior, it's similar. It's not the same."

Sanada explained, "The baptism was born from the evolution of the five senses. Just like you said pointing at the opponent to deprive the five senses, the reverse five senses deprived Yukimura of the body sense, so that he can only use the body's ball sense and experience."

He watched the seemingly endless confrontation in the arena, and locked his eyes on Yukimura's shoulders, "Once the 'baptism' state is activated, Yukimura will increase his mental power to several times the normal state, and control the opponent's strength." The spirit and thinking make people unable to judge the direction of hitting the ball normally, until they fall into a hallucination.”

This is exactly what was seen in Total War a few months ago.Obviously, Sanada's explanation made the two people understand the different sources of "baptism" and Shura Shinto.

"At the same time, there is one biggest flaw in the baptism." Sanada frowned, and the boy's coat shook invisibly during the dodge movement, "Because of fighting against Byodoin-san's mental power, Yukimura has been unable to maintain his physical strength." His inability to swing the racket is the biggest proof. Only when he focuses all his attention on fighting against Shura Shinto, will he unintentionally launch a physical counterattack."

As soon as he finished speaking, several people noticed the clothes slowly slipping off the boy's shoulders.Yukimura, who always wore a jacket on stage, didn't notice this at all. As he continued to run, his foot even stepped on the jacket that fell to the ground.

"Indeed, 'baptism' is not Shura Shinto, it does not have a separate attack power, it is more used for its own state." Tokugawa also frowned and looked at the two people, "If you want to ensure that you will not be|forced|to this In such a state, you must first maintain your own consciousness. Has he fallen into the pirate hallucination of the Court of Justice?"

"……Do not."

The ghost said slowly, "Look, his right hand."

A faint black shadow slowly wrapped around the boy's right arm.Sanada stood up in surprise, walked to the wall and stared at him with wide eyes.

Sanada was all too familiar with this scene.He had practiced countless times, and he had personally seen this person use it in the doubles with Yukimura, but at this time, he had no ability to resonate, no doubles, and the young man who was fighting alone in the arena was turning on the black energy without warning.

"He obviously has a way of breaking through world pirates."
