must love tennis

The fact that the players were attacked one after another quickly spread throughout the training center.

At this point in time, there were quite a few people who were still practicing in tennis courts or gyms, but none of them could clearly see who committed the crime.

The searchlights inside and outside the stadium were flickering and dimmed one after another. In the darkness, one could only guess from the figure that the opponent was a middle school student about their age.

When Kirihara Akaya was discovered by the players of Lihai University, he was already unconscious on the side of the court, with tennis balls scattered around him.

Taocheng was buying drinks outside the dormitory, when he looked up, he saw Yukimura who had just received the news, put on his coat and hurried out, and asked quickly: "What happened, Senior Yukimura?"

"Someone launched an indiscriminate attack on the players at the base," Liu Sheng beside him quickly explained.

Yukimura paused, and looked back at Taocheng, with a slight worry between his brows: "Go and see your teammates, and remind everyone not to leave alone."

Taocheng was stunned for a moment, ignoring the drink he hadn't chosen yet, and rushed back to the dormitory, knocking on the door: "Hey, poisonous snake, come out quickly, something serious has happened!"

Everyone from Qingxue and Sitianbaosi met outside the stadium, and only had time to catch a group of mysterious shadows disappearing from the woods. Baishi gestured to them to stop chasing them.

"Hey——" Footsteps came from the other side, and Xiang Ri sharp-eyed saw that there was an acquaintance here, and immediately raised his voice, "Have you seen Atobe!"

"I can't get in touch, but Mr. Huadi has been with him all the time, so it should be all right?" Dashi was surprised.

"Shishido was injured and sent to the hospital!" Xiang Ri said hurriedly.

Everyone looked at each other, and their expressions became serious: "Is it so bad?"

"It shouldn't be a big problem, but it's hard to say whether we can catch up with the game the day after tomorrow..." Renzu wiped his glasses, frowned and asked, "Did you see clearly who it was just now?"

They all shook their heads.

"Leave only this." Shiraishi stretched out his hand and took the hard ball wrapped in tape off the fence for them to see.

"Echizen should be with them too." Tezuka said solemnly.

Yuan Shan's eyes widened: "Isn't that very dangerous, then you have to go to save people!"

Bu Er thoughtfully: "No, what they say, probably...it's okay."

"Eh?"

……

"Small idea." Ryoma moved his wrist, put down the bamboo knife, and raised his chin slightly.

"You don't need a tennis racket to deal with violent fellows like you."

Around the court, scattered tennis balls are still rolling.A group of people were knocked to the ground, twitching and moaning constantly.Atobe retracted his gaze and rolled his eyes very boringly, as if he was very dissatisfied because he had no chance to make a move.

"Indeed, it's just a bunch of young people." He snorted, showing a disappointed expression, "I still think it's something."

"When the street lights went out just now, you didn't think someone used the extinguisher, did you?" Ryoma raised his eyebrows.

"……uh-huh."

Atobe twitched the corners of his mouth noncommittally, and was about to say something when suddenly his eyes froze, he grabbed Ryoma's wrist, and pulled back.

She also felt the sharp breath at the same time, and quickly looked back to the distance outside the court.

A figure slowly came out from the woods, the outline was vaguely illuminated by the moonlight, and the light golden curly hair was slightly raised outwards.

"Look at that." Atobe lowered his voice, and his tone became very serious.

Ryoma nodded: "They all wear rings on their hands..."

From a distance, the specific shape is not clear, but it seems that they are all the same style, silver metal texture, faintly glowing in the moonlight.

Although she didn't feel the breath of flames, she still felt that the people who came back were not as easy to deal with as before.

At least it is also a BOSS level.

"It's really interesting." The leader of the mysterious attacker smiled softly, "You guys are more resistant to fighting."

He was holding a tennis ball in his ring-wearing hand, padded it, and suddenly his figure flickered and he jumped down from the stands.He walked past his teammates without hesitation, climbed over the fence and landed on the court. The whole process was quite smooth, like a cheetah with tensed muscles, he threw the ball and swung his racket violently——

boom!

Atobe immediately sensed that the sound of the ball and the airflow brought by it were not quite right, so he pulled Ryoma over and swung his racket to block it.

But the opponent's strength still exceeded his expectations. The hard ball with a strange texture directly pierced the net cable, and then hit the half wall behind him.

This is not tennis.

The two looked at each other and made a judgment at the same time.Huadi hadn't come back yet, maybe he was delayed by the group's companions on the way, and Atobe didn't have any extra rackets, so Ryoma took a step forward without hesitation.

"I'll do it." She said calmly, took out the ring from her pocket, put it on her left hand, and held the bamboo knife tightly again.

In an instant, golden flames lit up from the surface of the ring, quickly enveloping the blade, forming a light halo.

Atobe didn't object, and took a step back, only reminding lightly: "Don't go too far."

"of course."

Long Ma raised his chin and nodded towards the opposite side: "If you want to fight, I am happy to accompany you."

……

"Hey Ryoma, are you there?"

"The Department of Traces!"

When the voices of his teammates came from a distance, Ryoma was rushing forward with a sword, distracted, and then suddenly saw a figure flashing from the side, trying to stop her in a hurry: "Wait a minute, kid——"

Ryoma glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and stopped abruptly, but still couldn't stop the momentum. He tried hard to replace the blade with the handle, and then heard a bang.

The man collided with her.

"Ahem," Ryoma waved the dust, and took a few steps back under the impact, and was supported by Atobe from behind before standing still.

After a while, the teammates rushed to the field, ignoring the group of teenagers wearing mysterious uniforms who fled in a hurry under the leadership of the boss, and surrounded Ryoma and Atobe.

"Are you okay?" Taocheng nervously supported Ryoma, only then did he realize that she was still holding a bamboo knife, and was stunned for a while, "It seems all right?"

"Well, I'm fine." Ryoma nodded calmly to everyone, then turned to look around, "but that gentleman doesn't know..."

Everyone looked down, only to see a strange black-haired boy lying unconscious on the ground.

what.

Ryoma stuck out his tongue in embarrassment, turned his head to look to one side: "I accidentally injured myself."

Dashi turned pale with shock: "It won't kill anyone, right?!"

No one knew where this stranger came from and what his identity was. Judging from his facial features, he looked more like an Asian, completely different from the blonde attackers.

He was wearing a very ordinary sweatshirt, which seemed to be on a different side from the group of well-trained attackers, but when everyone was about to take him to the hospital, they clearly saw that he was wearing the same style of ring on his hand.

At first, they thought it was just an ordinary concussion-everyone obviously believed in the severity of Ryoma's attack.But when he went to the hospital for an examination, he found that the man was covered with bruises. It seemed that he had been surrounded and beaten not long ago, and he was covered with blood.

The matter seemed to be more serious than they had imagined. The ministers discussed it and decided to contact the coach to inform the organizer.

The next morning, the stranger still did not wake up.However, other injured players have recovered.The bruises on my body were all medicated, and there was no serious problem. The doctor said that it would be fine to rest for a while.

Taocheng came out of the ward, closed the door, and shook his head to everyone.

"Did he really come out of nowhere?" He couldn't help asking.

Ryoma nodded.

"Well, he wasn't there when we were attacked, and he arrived at the end—it seems that he wanted to prevent us from fighting." She said uncertainly.

Ryoma tried hard to remember what happened last night.The boss of the mysterious attacker also showed a very surprised expression when he saw this person appear, and his cold face changed slightly.But soon, he frowned deeply, turned and left without hesitation.

They should know each other.

However, it seems that the relationship is not very good...

"This should be a premeditated attack against the contestants of the entire conference." Liu briefly analyzed the situation last night, "However, our current clues - we can only wait for this mysterious friend to wake up by himself. "

"I'm not sure if it's a friend yet." Marui quickly added.

"Anyway, at least we have found an insider." Gan was very satisfied, "It's all thanks to—"

Halfway through the conversation, he got stuck.

A group of people turned their heads one after another, looked at Ryoma in unison, and then showed respectful expressions.

Ryoma tilted his head slightly and made a question mark.

Is it an exaggeration?

"How should I put it, um... as expected of Sanada's closed disciple." Shinobu pushed his glasses and sighed.

Everyone silently nodded deeply, expressing their agreement.

"As expected of you!" Toyama Kintaro unabashedly flashed his starry eyes, "Go ahead, take me to learn swords someday!"

"I don't have any objections. It depends on Sanada-senpai's intentions, right?" Ryoma said suspiciously, "But I remember that he rarely accepts students. Do you want to ask first—"

However, the faces of the seniors at Sitianbao Temple changed in an instant.

"Forget it, Kintaro!"

"You need to concentrate on learning tennis..." Xiaochun and the others advised earnestly.

"Ah, why!" Yuan Shan blinked in confusion.

"Stupid, didn't you see that Sanada was very rude to you?"

"You don't even know what you did?" Chitose shook her head, feeling very helpless.

"Did I do something?" Yuan Shan asked back.

Everyone was silent for a while.

Bai Shi spoke slowly: "It feels like you stole someone's girlfriend?"

……

Longma noticed that Ren Dynasty hooked his fingers, and walked out with him while everyone's attention was diverted.

King Ni opened the door of the strange boy's room, led her in, and closed the door again.

"Can you make him wake up early?" Ryoma asked curiously.

"Well, I'm not sure, let's try it." King Ni glanced at her, "Didn't you find it strange when you saw the rings of these people?"

"I've thought about it." She nodded bluntly, "That's why I lit the flames to try it out, but they didn't seem to notice it."

Future Yamamoto had reminded them before that people are always prone to fear of the unknown.Openly using Huoyan in front of ordinary people has certain risks, and should be avoided as much as possible.

And the power of Huoyan is too strong, if it is not well controlled, it may cause serious consequences.

Ryoma knew that he was not a well-trained warrior, and he could fully transform the sword into a part of his body like Scouvaro, and use it smoothly and naturally.

At that time, she just wanted to use Qing Zhiyan to strengthen her strength and block the attack of "real tennis" for them.By the way, shoot back and teach that guy with eyes above the top a little lesson.

Just didn't expect...

Although she didn't intend to be too polite to those who attacked her, it was definitely not her intention to implicate others and end up in the hospital.

Ryoma scratched his cheek, feeling a little sorry.

"I really didn't expect him to rush over."

"...So that's how it is." King Ren thought thoughtfully, turning his gaze to the young man on the hospital bed.

His slightly frowned eyebrows have calmed down, his expression has become very soft, and there is no sign of awakening.Ryoma was about to take a closer look at his wound when Nio held him back.

She turned her head to see him wagging his index finger, and made a smile of unknown meaning: "I just learned some new tricks, do you want to go and see him in his dream?"

"...?!"

Does this work?

King Ren blinked his left eye at her: You will know if you try it?

Ryoma was shocked, and then nodded without hesitation.

The illusionist is awesome!
