After killing the ghost, I went to play tennis

The first game Yukimura watched in its entirety after being discharged from the hospital was the final of the Kanto Tournament. After the game, as he said, he really started to pull everyone to play practice games one by one.

At that time, Kazama Che looked at Yukimura who was swinging and running on the court, saw the majestic momentum around him, and saw that he was no longer in the melancholy and hazy state that he used to be, and his heart really settled down.

Everyone and Che Kazama have the same thoughts. While they are happy, they inevitably cannot get out of the shadow all at once, which sometimes causes excessive worry, so that Yukimura tries to prove that he is not a glass that needs special treatment. Every day, I play against everyone in the tennis club, so that they can once again understand what is meant by the strength of a big devil.

To put it simply, during the first match, the bystanders were nervous, for fear that something might go wrong with Yukimura.

During the second game, everyone felt that they started to smile, Yukimura was really all right!

During the third game, everyone sighed, it's great, our minister is back.

……

In the nth game, ah, I still have something to do, so I will go first, Yukimura, you can play with someone else.

After doing this, although it is a bit labor-intensive, the effect is indeed very obvious. In Li Haida, it can be said that no one will doubt the strength of the minister.

But people outside basically don't know how much Yukimura's strength has recovered. For example, Bingdi, who is relatively close to Li Haida, knows the situation so finely that Yukimura is now in charge of the department and participates in training normally every day.

After all, although Yukimura was in charge of the previous Kanto competition, he did not play, so everyone can probably guess what the outside world will think. However, no matter how you predict what will happen, when you really face it , still unacceptable.

For example, the lottery of the national competition.

Originally, the lottery meeting was held at Lihai University. As a seed school, their numbers had already been determined, and the first bye was empty, so Yukimura didn't want to appear, thinking that it would be enough to send a few people to memorize the numbers of other schools, not to mention it's been a long time It was like this before, otherwise Che Kazama, Sanada, and Liu would not have all appeared at the lottery meeting.

When Yukimura made up his mind not to go, everyone was still a little hesitant, Sanada thought that Yukimura should appear on the stage, to frighten those people, "Let them see Li Haida's strength!"

"The lottery can tell what strength you have, piyo."

Although he knew that what Sanada wanted was to send a signal to the outside world that Li Haida had entered a complete state, Nioh still replied habitually.

Kazama Che was also very supportive of Yukimura's decision. He patted Sanada on the shoulder, "Let's leave them some room for expectation. People who thought they wouldn't make an appearance finally fully recovered their strength. I really look forward to them watching The expression at that moment."

Liu took a look at Che Fengjian, and said lightly: "You are really cruel, Ah Che."

"Thank you for the compliment~"

On the day of the lottery, Liu and Jiushan attended, and Yukimura took care of the training as usual, and also received the head of Shitenbao Temple, Shiraishi, who arrived earlier than planned. The two walked around the garden together, and Kazama Che had lunch with them.

However, none of these could cover up the unhappiness that happened that day. Although Kazama Che didn't go, judging from the expressions on the faces of the two of them, it was clear that nothing good had happened, and Yiliu and Jiushan's personalities made it impossible for them to take those unpleasant words to heart. Really repeat it again, so everyone chose tacitly, let them see what the strength of the king Li Haida is.

The first to bear the brunt is Liuliqiu in Aichi Prefecture.

At the pre-match meeting, Liu conveyed the latest situation to everyone, "For this national competition, the Tennis Association has introduced two new regulations."

"One is the adjustment of the game order, from the original two doubles games followed by three singles games to an alternate singles and doubles game." He picked up a marker pen and wrote the new order on the whiteboard behind, "Singles three, Doubles two, singles two, doubles one, singles one."

As soon as this regulation came out, everyone fell into thinking. The original singles three represented the final victory, but now it has become a good start position, and the pressure has not decreased much. Instead, it is singles two. It is very important.

Another point is that at present, most schools, except for schools like Yamabuki, basically play singles better than doubles, and when singles start to play an important role in the first three games, it means that some schools may change the original Ranking changed the pattern.

"However, no matter what, it still depends on the strength." Marui tore open the package of a candy, and drew the most Lihai-style conclusion for this matter: "Anyway, our Lihai University will still be the national champion! "

"Of course!" Kirihara stood up and supported the table and said, "When the time comes, let them see Li Haida's trump card, the strength of me, Kirihara Chiya!"

Yukimura laughed because of this sentence, "Na Chi also knows, who is the first trump card after we joined the club this year?"

"Who is it?" Kirihara looked left and right, and finally sat down quietly amidst a voice.

"It's me, do you have any objections?" Feng Jianche smiled softly, shaking his folding fan.

Several other third-year finalists also burst into laughter because of this sentence, and King Ni was the most gloating, "How about it, Chi also wants to challenge the former ace?"

"Eh? Isn't he the incumbent?" Jackal asked, stroking his head.

Marui patted his partner, "Probably because those magazines said that Ache is a 'pillar'. Since that title came out, it seems that there are not many people calling Ache with a trump card."

Kazama Che glanced at these people and ignored their jokes. At that time, because Kazama Che was strong and had never lived in Tokyo or Kanagawa before, the valid information he could find was zero, so the others unanimously agreed to position him For the trump card of surprise, when I think back to that time now, it really has been a long time.

Facing everyone's knowing smiles, Qieyuan shrank back, and Liu lightly shook his head, ignoring this little kelp who provoked and regretted at the moment, and continued: "The second is about the number of games, each school The first game needs to play five games, which corresponds to the requirement that the final finals need to play five games."

"Although I don't know why there is such a regulation, it has nothing to do with us whether this regulation exists in normal times, but this year when we have a bye in our first match—"

"The real first opponent is Liuliqiu in Aichi Prefecture."

"Oh--"

Everyone knows the unfinished meaning, after all, everyone still remembers the day of the draw.

"That's really taking care of us, isn't it?"

This is a chance for us, a chance to teach some people a fair lesson.

The opening of the national competition came as scheduled. The weather was fine that day, and all the schools and representatives gathered in the tennis park in Tokyo. One after another, high-spirited captains led rows of teams to stand on the court in an orderly manner.

As the previous champion, General Li Hai returned the scarlet flag and at the same time opened the prelude to this year's national competition.

It can be said that ever since Sanada took out the flag, with every movement of him, countless eyes followed him, light but heavy.

Kazama Che patted Sanada on the shoulder, looked ahead and said firmly: "Our purpose is to get it back, isn't it?"

Longing, longing, expectation, responsibility... Even though all kinds of emotions and thoughts are mixed in it, for the people of Lihai University, there is only one thing that is important - that is victory, this is their glory, absolutely not Would give it to anyone, absolutely!

Due to the big bye in the first Lihai game, there is no need to rush to the next game venue like other schools, and the time seems to be much more sufficient.

Everyone stopped at the intersection and looked at each other. Marui clasped his hands at the back of his head, stretched his neck and said boredly, "Going back after attending the opening ceremony, isn't it a bit of a waste? It's so hard to come here."

The Jackal instantly understood what his partner meant, looked at the crowd and said, "Why don't we go and watch the games at other venues?"

"It's not impossible."

This proposal was unanimously approved by everyone, especially Kirihara, who kept saying "Go, let's go", while Jiushan still complained about him, "You look more like you are watching the fun."

Liu opened his notebook, "There are no opponents in the half area where Lihai University is located. If it is worth noting, I am afraid it will have to wait until the semifinals."

"Then which school is our opponent in the semi-finals?"

"The high probability is Nagoya Xingde."

"It seems that I have never heard of this school before."

"It's normal if you haven't heard of it," Liu flipped through his notes, "That school adopted an all-foreign student lineup this year, which is why it has achieved its current results."

"The most recent game," Yukimura looked at the match list issued by the organizing committee, "let's go to the match between Higachu and Rokkaku."

Higazhong is the dark horse in the Kyushu region this year. He has pulled down Shizile in one fell swoop and has become one of the few rookies.

Everyone went to the venue and introduced to them as they walked, "Master Eishiro Kite of Higa is said to be a very courageous person. He gathered a group of teenagers who have learned Okinawa martial arts to form their team. These teenagers not only because of I have good physical fitness because I have studied martial arts all the year round, and I have also integrated Okinawa martial arts into tennis skills, so my strength should not be underestimated."

Kazama Che became somewhat interested when he heard the words, "Oh, is it martial arts again?"

He smiled, "I just don't know how good it is, but Tachikai Osanada has learned kendo since he was a child, I have practiced kendo and taijutsu, Seigaku's Tezuka and Fuji seem to have learned judo, and Hyodi also has it." Atobe and Hiyoshi have experience in this field, and it would be interesting to meet them.”

Kazama Che was eager to try, it had been a long time since he had sparred with others in martial arts, and he was really itchy.

It's just that his excitement didn't last long before he was defeated by Yukimura's eyes.Yukimura pinched his brows, why didn't he see that Ah Che still had a belligerent side?

He believed that Kazama Che would not be ignorant of the seriousness, but he still reminded him a few words, "Although I believe you will not be injured, but it is still necessary to prevent any accidents when the game is approaching, understand?"

Kazama Che nodded, setting a good example in front of the children, "Of course, the national competition is the most important thing!"

Not only did Yukimura smile and shake his head, but even Yagyu pushed his glasses to cover up the smile on the corner of his mouth with that "makes sense, yes, we must remember", only Kirihara and Hisyo were "taught" expression.

With that said, Li Haida's team had already arrived at the competition venue. At this time, the singles match between Higazhong and Liujiao was still going on. Coincidentally, they also met Qingxue who also appeared here.
