must love tennis

Is it so exaggerated?

Ryoma couldn't help being suspicious, but she did feel that the other party's eyes were too probing, which made her uncomfortable.

But never mind.

What is the most important thing in life?Will pretend.

She hugged her hands and put them on her chest: "Why are you looking at me? If you want to have a game, I'm happy to accompany you."

"No hurry, today is not the time." Atobe looked her up and down carefully, then said slowly, turned sideways, and gestured to Huadi to leave.

Before he could take two steps, Long Ma said directly: "Are you afraid?"

- Click.

Atobe stopped, turned around, and raised his eyebrows high.

"Little devil, there is a price to pay for being too complacent."

"This is what I said, the original sentence should be returned." She replied neither humble nor overbearing, then turned her head, "Senior Fuji, can I ask you to—"

"Okay." Before she finished speaking, Bu Er had already guessed her intentions, nodded and said, "The rule of this venue is that doubles must be played, right?"

"That's right." Ju Xing hesitated, showing worry, "But Echizen, you now..."

"You won't know until you hit it." Ryoma raised his chin, looking confident.

"This kid from Qingxue...I'm afraid that he and Atobe are quite 'friend' by accident, in a sense." Ren Zu thought thoughtfully, gave up the idea of ​​stopping, and sat back to his original position.He still couldn't hold back, rubbed his forehead, and sighed, "What are we here for today?"

"Occasionally, I have to take a break." Shishido put his hands in his trouser pockets, and continued to watch the show with his legs crossed. "It's just right, let's know in advance the strength of this year's freshmen. Atobe thinks so too, right?"

Xiang Ri scratched his hair, was silent for a while, and asked: "Didn't he give us a vacation to escape because he thought there were too many spies in the school who came to inquire about the enemy's situation and it was too annoying?"

"Honest man, shut up."

"...Uh uh?"

"Honest man" Xiang Ri continued to scratch his head, and when he looked back at the court, the game was about to start.On one side are Atobe and Huachi, and on the other side are Fuji from Seigaku and the first-year kid.

What's so interesting about this?he thinks.

Atobe was still in that laid-back attitude, without even taking off his coat, he hooked his fingers casually, and Huadi behind him nodded knowingly: "Yeah."

On the opposite side, although Fuji took out the racket, he only held it halfway, and fiddled with the string with his left hand.He stood far away from the serving point, tilted his head and smiled at his junior: "If I'm not wrong, you probably don't want me to intervene, do you?"

Ryoma grunted, stretched out his hand to adjust the position of the brim of his hat, and covered half of his face in the shadow.Looking from the angle of Bu Er, her expression was not clear, only the slightly raised corners of her lips could be seen.

"If you don't show some skills, the King of Monkey Mountain won't make a move, right?"

Ju Xing nodded, her eyebrows trembling with difficulty: "Just now, this guy just sat there without moving—"

"Oh~" She dragged out her tone, unhurriedly let go of the tennis ball in her hand, patted it twice on the ground, held it again, and raised her eyes to look at the opposite court.

That big guy alone is enough to sweep everyone here—although it’s just passers-by A, B, and C—it’s still a one-on-two approach.So, how strong will their minister be?

Ryoma felt excited just thinking about it.

Game start--

Snapped!

The high-speed tennis ball sliced ​​through the air and whizzed away.

At the side of the court, the group of passers-by A, B and C were stunned:

——"In the end, didn't they still play singles?!"

It is clear that they are completely ignoring the regulations here!Do you think you can play doubles with someone standing next to you? !

Is this too confident in myself, or is it contempt for them? !

Yulin's Quan slowly lowered his head, put his hands on his forehead, and said in a deep, hurt tone, "It's probably the reason why powerful people make rules."

"...Damn it." The others were also dejected.

Suddenly, Ju Xing asked softly, "Who do you want to win?"

Bu Chuan was stunned for a while, and thought for a while: "If I have to say it, then I still hope that the people from Qingxue will win."

Although they are all the strong ones who defeated them, at least Qingxue's little devil is just a bit of a stinky fart-yes, he can be forgiven for being cute and doing anything! ——It’s not as hideous as those of the Ice Empress.They didn't take themselves seriously at all, it wasn't a level of hate at all.

Thinking of this, he nodded persuasively: "That's right, that's it."

"However, not to mention Atobe, just defeating Huadi is a very difficult thing to do." Tachibana Tachibana had a serious expression, and she nodded her chin with her index finger.

After hanging out with her brother and friends for so long, her eyesight needless to say, let alone now, there is an extremely obvious fact before her eyes:

"That's not an opponent Echizen Ryoma is good at."

On the field of competition, the strength of strength is not so simple to define.The ranking of the world professional league is not absolutely objective.

For example, now, the absolute difference in physique and strength is the overwhelming advantage of the Ice Empress.

She is an all-round technical player with strength, and she will be easily suppressed in front of powerful players.

Snapped!

Sure enough, Kawachi easily returned Ryoma's serve.Judging from the speed and sound of the ball this time, it was several times stronger than when it was served.

Seeing the thin girl on the court holding the racket with both hands and preparing to hit back, Ju Xing couldn't hold back and took two steps closer, raising her voice and shouting towards the court: "Don't force it!"

Buer nodded to her, then raised his index finger and mouthed: Shhh.

Should I trust her?

Ju Xing suppressed the worry in her heart, put her hand on the guardrail beside the court, and gradually clenched it.

At the moment of hitting the ball, Ryoma suddenly changed the arc of his arm, and his body swayed accordingly. The racket was lowered, dissolving most of the force of the menacing ball, and he picked it back up.

Everyone watched as the ball gradually slowed down, and it crossed a complete parabola in the air, like a rainbow across a cliff, and the landing point was——

Snapped!

Atobe tilted his head, leaned to one side, let go of his arms, and supported the ground with his fingertips.The corner of his mouth twitched, and he looked up: "You did it on purpose."

If he hadn't dodged, the ball would have hit his head perfectly. The speed of the ball wouldn't hurt much, but it was obvious...it was a provocation.

As he expected, Ryoma also tilted his head to look at him with an undisguised smile on his face.

"Why, finally can't sit still?"

"Don't worry, there's only one ball!" Xiang Ri raised his hands like a trumpet and cheered, "Huadi, blow him up!"

Huachi was indifferent, just looking at Atobe.The latter was thoughtful, and his sea-blue phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.

"How?" Ryoma also asked.

Atobe finally stood up slowly, straightened the wrinkles on the team uniform, put his hands in his pockets again, and still had no intention of leaving the field himself.

The cynical smile on his face has faded, and he asked calmly, "Do you have the confidence to fight back?"

Ryoma met his gaze calmly.

"is it not OK?"

So Atobe nodded slowly.Huadi got the signal, turned around to pick up the ball, and walked silently to the tee point.

Ryoma held the top of the ball handle with his right hand, then let go, repeated several times, and breathed a sigh of relief.Then, she raised her head and fixed her eyes on the figure opposite.

"Don't be brave." She heard Buer's faint reminder from behind.

Ryoma pursed his lips, and a picture flashed in his mind.

Hit the ball fast.

From his father, from Tokugawa, from... countless former opponents.

In her eyes, there is only the yellow tennis ball that is constantly jumping.

In a certain scene, it was caught by the crimson racket in a rather jerky manner and angle, and turned into a bolt of lightning, which struck the wall opposite the court.

Astonishing.

Ryoma's eyes gradually found a focal point: Huadi threw the ball high and swung vigorously——

Seeing the right timing, she kicked the ground with her strength, stepped forward quickly, and raised the racket.

Snapped!

boom……

Truly groundbreaking.Amidst the roar, the shattered wall fell down, revealing the stunned look of the audience behind.

"what happened?!"

"Are you kidding me, is this tennis that humans can play!"

"That one from the first grade! Such a thin arm..."

Everyone looked at Ryoma in unison, as if they were looking at a monster.

But she just pretended to be relaxed and blew on the reddish palm, put down the racket, and said coolly.

"You know nothing about power."

There is no ball in this world that I cannot hit back. ——As long as you think so, you are right!

Enlightenment from Senior Sawada.

Thank you, I learned.

……

Only one goal broke the silence of the stadium.

Breaking Birchachi's wooden face, his eyes rolled away, looking dazed for the first time, looking at Atobe, as if waiting for his next instruction.

Then, he saw it—not only him, but Shinozu and the others, they all saw it, and their minister's eyes flashed with burning fighting intent.

It was almost a look that would only be shown in front of Tezuka Kunimitsu.

But now, he was just looking at a first-year freshman?

Faced with such a provocation, instead of being angry—on the contrary, Atobe showed an interesting smile, stepped forward a few steps, and stopped in front of the net.

Across a net, Ryoma had to raise his head to meet his eyes, frowning slightly, a little dissatisfied.

"Are you satisfied now?" she asked bluntly.

"Very satisfied." Atobe restrained his smile, and in the next second, he stretched out his hand suddenly.

Ryoma was startled, and when he wanted to back away, it was too late.However, it was not the expected thrashing, but a racket that passed lightly over his head, took a symbolic slap, and then retracted.

She looked at Atobe, who was smiling happily, and opened her eyes wide: what do you mean?

"I changed my mind."

"……what?"

Atobe raised his hand, raised his thumb without looking back, and pointed to somewhere behind him—from the corner of Ryoma's eyes, it was Tachibana.The latter also had a puzzled expression.

Only Fuji, his face changed slightly at this time, as if he realized something, he couldn't help but took a step forward, but he couldn't stop Atobe from speaking, and his tone changed from pure arrogance and contempt to a frivolous but intimate one:

"How about it, kid, let's enjoy a meal together?"
