must love tennis

I'm just a middle school student, right?

Ryoma took off his shoes and socks, stood in the pool under the waterfall, looked at the distant scenery, and fell into deep thought.

Echizen Nanjiro was very leisurely, after leaving a few words, he ran to a cool place and fell asleep, and the three of them were left looking at each other in the water.

"I understand, it is to be able to hit a strong return ball under the impact of a huge water flow-practice for this purpose?" Irie Kanata shook the racket in his hand, trying to analyze rationally.

But it feels like blunt nonsense!

Tokugawa Kazuya sighed.

He is tall and has long legs, and he can easily stand firmly in the water. He rolled up his short sleeves to his shoulders, revealing the strong muscles on his arms, which made Ryoma envious.

The water had reached her waist and abdomen, and as the water rushing down from the waterfall hit the rocks, it was difficult to maintain her body balance, not to mention playing ball, even raising her arms to swing a racket was a problem.

Ryoma looked at Irie again, he was a little better than himself, but he was full of determination, as stable as Mount Tai, and he could still show her a nonchalant smile.

"Okay, Ryoma, let's have a fun game!"

——It's about to be washed away by the water, okay? !

……

Finally, Tokugawa came over with a traction rope, tied it around their waists, and fixed it to the rocks on the shore, so as to ensure that they would not accidentally slip and be washed downstream by the water.

It can be seen that he has a lot of experience in practicing in the wild.

Although he didn't need to use this kind of thing himself, it was a life-saving straw for the other two.

The sun was setting and the light in the forest was fading very quickly.

After fighting with them in the water for a day, Longma's legs were shaking so much that he could hardly stand up, and finally he took two staggering steps and fell over.

With a plop, water splashed everywhere.

Tokugawa reached out to pick her up in time, wrapped his arms around her waist, and pulled her from the water to the shore.

"Thank you..."

Long Ma turned over and lay on the ground, not wanting to move, his whole body was limp. After being soaked in the water for so long, the wind blew over him, his wet clothes stuck to his body, and he felt the chill that penetrated his bones.

She shivered instinctively, but she couldn't use the strength to get up, raised her finger, and gave up.

Irie Kanata, who went ashore first, took out a large bath towel from the tent he had set up, and walked over to put it on her: "How do you feel?"

I probably want to ask her if she feels that she has opened up the six channels of Ren Du during the practice, and then she has a flash of inspiration and comprehended the "□□seamless limit"?

"No." Ryoma replied simply.

The dust on her face was blown away by her exhaled breath, which was a bit choking. After coughing a few times, she handed a water bottle in front of her.

De Chuan was still standing in the water, looking at her: "Can you still sit up?"

"Um……"

De Chuan knew her temper, so he didn't insist any more. He put the water bottle beside him, put his hands on the stone, and jumped out of the water with a lot of force, causing splashes of water.

Longma drank a few sips, regained his breath, then slowly got up like a snail, shook the bath towel, and wrapped himself tightly: "Huh——"

After drinking the water, her eyes were still fixed on Tokugawa, her dripping muscles had the beauty of a bath and were full of strength.

Ryoma seriously thought about whether he could develop such good-looking muscles and body lines if he worked hard...

It doesn't feel right.

How much protein-powder should I eat?

Irie Kanata also sat down beside him, with a coat over his shoulders to keep out the wind.

The two of them were next to her, one on the left and the other on the right, looking at the waterfall flying thousands of feet, enjoying the rare quiet time in this city.In the huge world, there are only the sound of rushing water, and the occasional chirping of birds from the woods behind.

I don't know who asked and broke the silence: "Tomorrow, do you want to continue..."

"Probably, didn't uncle say that the basic standard of learning '□□seamless' is not considered to be achieved before being able to hit stones to the opposite bank with a branch?"

Longma was dripping with cold sweat.

She felt that the old man was talking nonsense.But what can be done, the final is just around the corner, and there is no other choice but special training.

"The seamlessness that even you guys haven't mastered..." She said reluctantly, holding a branch and gesturing on the ground, "It doesn't look that useful, does it?"

"I don't know." Tokugawa shook his head, sounding a bit regretful.

"We may not need it, but if you want to defeat Yukimura of Lihai University now-" Irie said here, dragged his voice, looked at the broken branches that fell from the waterfall, and quickly hit the water. Spinning, and finally sinking slowly.

"I think that's the only way."

"Oh……"

"However, at this pace, it may be too late." Irie Kanata frowned worriedly, touched Ryoma's head, and gently picked out a knotted lock of hair with his fingers.

Wearing a ball cap by the waterfall is unrealistic. She had already thrown the cap over the tent, shook her wet hair, and went to training.At the end of the day, I don't know how much I sweated.

Although the sun was shining, there was water vapor all around, and she just slipped into the water by herself, and her whole body was soaked.

Ryoma was silent for a moment, then choked out a sentence: "I want to take a bath."

With the sky as the cover and the earth as the hut, this pool is a ready-made bath.Now in this barren mountain and wild ridge, there is no one else but them, and the water source is clean and clear, it seems that it is not impossible...

Irie Kanata didn't know what he thought of, the corners of his lips curled up again, and he looked at Tokugawa jokingly: "Kazuya, then let's avoid it for a while?"

His voice was extremely brisk, full of indescribable meaning.

The cold and handsome young man's cheeks were stained with a layer of light red, but maybe it was because of the setting sun, no one can say for sure.Without saying a word, he stood up and walked back to the tent.

"Let's go make a fire," Irie Kanata said to Ryoma, "By the way, call uncle over for dinner."

"it is good."

Ryoma pulled the bath towel off his body, folded it and put it aside, and went to dig out his change of clothes.

Wait until they're all gone.She walked along the bank to a place where the current was slightly slower, took off her wet sweatshirt, and jumped into the water.

The water in the mountains was already cool, and after the sun went down, the river water became even colder, but it was still more comfortable than the feeling of sweat sticking to the body.

Ryoma took a deep breath and sank into the water. When he floated up again, the last sunlight disappeared from his field of vision, and the orange in the sky completely faded away, turning into a pure blue hue.

The darkness gradually shrouded, and in places far away from cities and villages, there was no light at all, only the moon rising in the sky, and countless stars slowly appearing from the night.

Ryoma doesn't plan to stay in the water for too long.

I have been exercising during the day, and I can still hold on, but I have consumed a lot of calories, and I am almost exhausted now. I only feel that my hands and feet are shivering slightly from the cold.

She stood up straight, shook her head, her hair was already softened after soaking in the water for a round, she shook the water again, and was about to go ashore. Just as she was about to reach for the towel on the shore, suddenly a gust of wind blew from the deep forest in front of her. .

Almost at the same time, Ryoma heard a low and muffled roar, which was cloudy and like thunder hidden in the clouds. He raised his head and opened his eyes wide.

A huge black figure was rushing out from behind the tree at high speed, turning straight towards her, and before she had time to shudder, she heard an exclamation: "Ryoma, be careful!"

It seems to be the sound of playing Togo, but it is too far away, separated by a river bank, they are still upstream...

Then, I heard a whoosh, and something flew past my ear, and hit the beast with lightning speed.

Hearing the impact sound, the force was extremely swift and violent.

The huge wild boar offensive came to an abrupt end, half of its body was thrown into the air, it let out a long wail, and then fell down with a bang.

boom!

The body of several hundred kilograms hit the ground, and the ground shook again, raising countless dust.

Coughing, Ryoma quickly reacted, and then took a closer look, only to see a small white ball fluttering down from above and rolling into the woods.

There were rustling sounds from the opposite bank behind him, several staggered footsteps, and the fine stones on the ground were kicked away and fell into the water.

"Ryoma—are you all right?" Someone yelled like a trumpet.

Ryoma looked back, and the soft firelight reflected three swaying figures.

Tsunaki at the front was waving her hands by the river with a worried expression, while standing behind her was the cold, silver-haired killer, Skuvalo.

On the other side of her was another tall and slender teenager.He was a head taller than Gangji, with short black hair looking very refreshing, and a warm and light smile on his face.

He carried a baseball bat on his shoulder, with one hand on his waist, in a very relaxed posture.There is no doubt that he hit the ball just now.

The hurried footsteps sounded again.Tokugawa and Irie were rushing over, and stopped after more than ten meters, looking at the people on the other side in surprise, and when they turned their eyes to Ryoma, they quickly moved away.

Irie Kanata looked back at the wild boar lying on the ground, hesitating slightly: "Just now, what was that..."

Ryoma was still standing in the river, the light was dim, and his lower body was submerged in the water, so he couldn't see anything. He just covered his chest with his arms wrapped around his arms.

From the perspective of Irie and the others, they can see clearly that the thin and slender shoulders to the waist, although immature, already have slim lines.

Tokugawa Kazuya didn't say anything, quickly picked up the bath towel on the shore, shook it out and covered her head.

Long Ma didn't care about anything else, took it and put it on his body, and tied a knot hastily to fix it.He reached out and pulled her to the shore.

It was too late to go back to the tent to get dressed, Irie Kanata helped her pull up the bath towel and loosely covered her body, she got inside, twisted and put on a change of short-sleeved shorts, and then carefully emerged Come.

The black-haired boy scratched his hair: "Just now I made a move out of desperation—didn't it scare you?"

Ryoma shook his head: "Thank you just now."

"You're welcome, you are Xiaogang's friend." The boy nodded to her with a smile, put down the bat, and looked at Gangji.

"I heard that you are practicing here. I thought it might be helpful, so I didn't say hello—" Gangji clasped his hands together, "It didn't affect you, did it?"

"I mean to help..." Ryoma turned his eyes to the silver-haired man, and was sized up by his cold eyes, his expression gradually deepened.

Tsuna stepped aside: "This is Skuvalo, aren't you learning the way of swordsmanship? His swordsmanship is very good, he is the number one swordsman in the world! And this time he readily agreed—"

Ryoma broke out in a cold sweat.

No, although it is true that she is learning swordsmanship, it is too exaggerated to ask someone from the assassination team to be a training partner...

Skuvalo clicked his tongue: "Well, if you don't have talent, I won't waste time."

"I think Ryoma is fine." Tsunayoshi scratched his cheek, and then introduced the black-haired boy to them: "Takeshi Yamamoto, my classmate—he turned out to be the ace of the school's baseball club."

"Hello, little one," Yamamoto waved his hand and said with a smile, "I heard that you tennis players need to practice catching high-speed serves, like just now? It's really scary, no wonder you can't find a suitable contact person ..."

He sighed: "Even if it is baseball, it is not easy to hit back at a steady speed of [-] kilometers per hour!"

"So I asked Shan Ben to help." Tsuna explained.

Irijiang Zuodo suddenly realized: "That was really a big help - I am very grateful!"

Hey, did you accept this setting so easily? !

The boy turned his head and smiled: "Ball games, everything is connected."

"..."

Tokugawa was silent, thought seriously for a while, and nodded slowly: "That's the truth."

Ryoma took a deep breath and let it out.

She raised her head and looked at them seriously.The light blue flames emitted from the ring in the young man's hand lit up the dark forest, and also illuminated her focused amber eyes: "I understand, please train with me!"
